Supersmile toothpaste - best whitening toothpaste
Review 1 By Branden Ramsdell
Not so great toothpaste. I have been using Supersmile for a little over a year now, brushing twice a day, flossing, and rinsing as well. Within the first month of use, I noticed a difference in the whiteness of my teeth, and my mouth certainly felt clean; a year later, my teeth couldn't look any whiter without using professional whitening methods, but I still developed cavities.
I showed the toothpaste to my dentist and he told me he was actually impressed with how white my teeth became just from a toothpaste. After reading the bottle though, he cautioned me to find a better toothpaste to use intermittently, particularly, Arm & Hammer's Complete Care toothpaste. As I said, despite religious use of the product, I still have cavities, and I don't eat much sugar.
Supersmile does its job far better than many other whitening toothpastes. I haven't yet found a toothpaste that could get my teeth this white. Just use it with caution, it doesn't have the same cleaning properties that most other toothpastes do. My dentist suggested continued use of Supersmile, but to use it only every other time; Supersmile in the morning, Arm & Hammer at night. My teeth still look great, and they couldn't be healthier!
Review 2 In Ulta
I use this every time I brush and it is great! It makes my teeth feel very slick and clean and had whitened my teeth a good amount in the 3 months I have used it. The only drawback is that I love the whitening accelerator gel but youcannot buy it on its own at ulta. You have to either buy the small toothpaste/accelerator combo or the large toothpaste that is by itself. I'd like tho be able to buy large sizes of both but it's not possible at ulta. Otherwise it's an awesome product that whitened my teeth that would not lighten anymore even with crest whitestrips professional. I have tooth sensitivity from the strips but not with supersmile. It actually helps the sensitivity go away after using the strips.
Review 2 By BigBlueEyes32
So far I have been using this system for about a month and I don't know...I'm just not super impressed. I want to be, because I had heard great things, but..eh. My teeth were already white to begin with, so I really just wanted to use this to not only make them whiter but also maintain their whiteness. So as far as the whitening factor goes, I really guess I can't really tell. I do notice my teeth to be shinier though, but after using all of this my mouth doesn't feel clean. I end up rinsing with my regular mouthwash anyway, and sometimes even using different toothpaste to brush my tongue - just to get that clean, fresh, minty feeling. Another thing that is kind of odd to me is that you are to use a small, equal sized dollop of the toothpaste and the accelator every time you brush right? But they aren't the same size tubes. How does that make sense?! Anyway, wish I loved it more, but sadly it seems like a waste of money.
i hop that reviews can give you great informaations about this Best Whitening Toothpaste,also if you need more information visite our channel in youtube you will found more information about Best Whitening Toothpaste in 2014 and i wish the best for you

Arm and hammer toothpaste review - best whitening toothpaste
opalescence toothpaste review -best whitening toothpaste
Review 1 by Tanmigold
Arm and Hammer is a registered trademark of Church and Dwight, an American company that manufactures household products. Established in 1867, it has been one of the longest-running and most recognised U.S. brands. They also produce deodorising ingredients, fabric care and pet care products.
Ingredients of Arm and Hammer toothpaste
Important ingredients of Arm and Hammer toothpaste are:
Sodium lauryl sarcosinate: Type of salt having good cleansing property.
Silica: Works as an abrasive, with non-toxic and non-corrosive properties.
Sodium fluoride: White crystalline solid that helps in the prevention of tooth cavities.
Hydrogenated starch hydrolysates: Sweeteners that do not crystallise, blend well with colours and flavors, and go well with low-calorie sweeteners.
Sodium saccharin: Excellent sweetener with good storage capability even with acids.
Gum arabic (Acacia): White powder rich in calcium and soluble dietary fiber.
Sodium bicarbonate: Active ingredient in baking soda that reduces stomach acid, healing indigestion, upset stomach and heartburn.
The only disadvantage of Arm and Hammer toothpaste is that it tastes somewhat salty.
Maintaining a good dental hygiene is a must, not just to avoid bad breath (halitosis), but also because it can lead to many other serious health issues that can even cost our lives. Therefore, to maintain a healthy oral hygiene, a complete care product like Arm and Hammer toothpaste is definitely recommended.
Review 2 by Moreus Bosch
Opalescence is the most recommended toothpaste to maintain results after a tooth whitening. But you do not need to go to a dental clinic in order to acquire this excellent whitening product.
The special feature of Opalescence toothpaste is not that it effectively cleans away pigment stuck to the teeth. It is how it does it. While other whitening toothpastes contain a large amount of abrasive, it is instead the surface tension-reducing substances that does the job of Opalescence. Color pigments disappear along with bacteria and plaque, and there are no scratches, in which new bacteria and discoloration can take hold.
I have tested the product over a week now, and it certainly helps. What is important to know and understand, is that no whitening toothpaste can whiten your teeth. So it is no panacea for teeth whitening. In contrast, whitening toothpastes dissolve the pigment located in the tooth surface, grind away discoloration and make the teeth smooth and clean, cleaner, and thus naturally brighter.
The difference between Opalescence and other whitening toothpastes is that instead of containing a large quantity of grinding medium that many other brands do (be sure to avoid these products - they may in the long term wear down tooth enamel huge), it is instead the surface tension-reducing substances that do the job.
This toothpaste can be used daily because it does not contain abrasives, but does contain flour, which is strengthening the enamel. To try Opalescence I recommend that you first need to polish your teeth. Either by the dentist or yourself at home with a polishing nozzle that you put on your electric toothbrush. This provides a smooth, white and fine result. I can generally say that Opalescence Whitening Toothpaste is a really good whitening toothpaste, which go beyond the whitening effect and apparently also helps your teeth to absorb a maximum of flour.

Review 2 by Kirk Somers
One of the first mouthwashes to also whiten teeth, it uses fluoride instead of alcohol or hydrogen peroxide and so its better for your teeth as it will fight cavities as well and better for you. It also contains no sugar. Many people, including heavy smokers have found great success with this product.
Here are some tips on usage: a good way to use it, is to brush your teeth first, just to give your teeth a good preliminary clean and then finish with Rembrandt whitening plus, which is meant as finishing product. Dont eat or drink for about half an hour of using it, to let it do its work best. Try using it just before you go to bed. After about 2 to 3 days, you will see results.
Users report no burning sensation when its used and no drying of the mouth because there is no alcohol. Users have said it tastes better than other mouthwashes like Listerine or Scope. Its also OK for people with sensitive teeth.

Colgate Whitening review - best whitening toothpaste
Mentadent toothpaste review - best whitening toothpaste
This review will cover Colgate Visible White whitening gel. First we will go over the basic manufacturer information and essential product details and then conclude with our own detailed analysis and rating based on it's effectiveness and shortcomings.
Colgate Whitening Gel: Colgate Visible White 9% Hydrogen Peroxide
When it comes to do-it-yourself or at home teeth whitening, gels are usually the most powerful and effective treatment for serious tooth bleaching. Colgate whitening gel is no exception and packs a powerful 9% hydrogen peroxide concentration, making it equal in strength to what dentists use. The kit comes with a full bleaching treatment of four 3.1g mint flavored syringes of gel.
It is important to note that Colgate whitening gel does not contain tooth whitening trays. These trays are a required component for the gel bleaching procedure so if you do not already have some, you will need to purchase them separately before you can begin treatment. Just remember that a good quality tooth bleaching tray can significantly improve the effectiveness of the treatment and dentists can charge $300+ for some of the exact same custom-fitted trays.
Analysis on Colgate Whitening Gel: Visible White 9% Hydrogen Peroxide
The 9% hydrogen peroxide concentration is roughly equivalent to 30% carbamide peroxide gels which, as previously noted, puts Colgate whitening gel on the level of professional dentist whitening treatments. The difference is that doing the gel tooth whitener treatment yourself costs about 10 times less than a dentist would charge! This is a pleasant surprise for many folks these days who would like a powerful tooth whitening solution but may be on a tight budget or just want to a good bit of money. Of course, to get the same effect from Colgate whitening gel as a dentist's treatment, you must correctly follow the instructions (not difficult) and also get a high quality set of teeth whitening trays but again, these too will cost significantly less than what the dentist charges.
Anyone planning to use Colgate whitening gel should be aware of two related issues common to all bleaching gels:
First, many people experience short-term gum and/or tooth sensitivity just after getting or using gel tooth bleaching treatments. This is normal for these gels and should not be alarming or unexpected, particularly considering the high hydrogen peroxide concentration in Colgate whitening gel. However, if the sensitivity is too much, you should reduce frequency of treatments or in more extreme cases, discontinue them altogether. Some people are just very sensitive to tooth bleaching gels and should consider a different option for whiter teeth.
Second, make sure you follow Colgate's recommended quantity for gel on your tooth whitening trays. Too much will likely cause increased gum and tooth sensitivity while too little will reduce the coverage and effectiveness of the treatment. That said, too little is generally better than too much.
In conclusion, Colgate whitening Visible White 9% Hydrogen Peroxide gel gets a 5/5 stars as an effective and powerful dentist-strength tooth bleaching gel. As an added bonus, Colgate whitening gel contains potassium nitrate and fluoride which both help to strengthen tooth enamel (which is often weakened by powerful gel treatments). Once again, remember you must buy the tooth bleaching trays separately. We wish you the best of luck with Colgate whitening gel and a shining bright smile.
Review 2 By James Hartford about mentadent toothpaste review.
While there are different types of Mentadent, the usual formula is to have one side containing fluoride rich mint toothpaste that will clean and strengthen your teeth while the other side contains a strong whitening formula that whitens your teeth at the same time. In most cases, you would have to brush your teeth twice with two other types of toothpaste to get the same results you get from brushing once with Mentadent, so you can see why this formula is so popular. Yes, Mentadent often costs a bit more, but you can't really put a price tag on clean teeth and a healthy smile.

All the Best whitening toothpaste in 2014

Which Toothpaste Whitens Teeth The Best?
That's just how advertising works, they will say anything to convince that they are indeed the best but we should be smarter about that.All the customers want is to get the best whitening toothpaste out there. But to find that toothpaste we must take into consideration both the 'whitening factor' and the toothpaste itself. Bottom line the product must be an excellent toothpaste in general.
The main objectif for a toothpaste is to effectively clean the teeth, while the secondary purpose is to whiten them. Unfortunately there hasn't been a single winner for this title.
The toothpastes help with teeth whitetning and stain removal on the expection of some products that are designed mainly for one or the other. Before looking for the best whitetning toothpaste, it is important that you know what type of whitetning you need. Each person has their own different lifestyle and so the teeth are different too. Therefore, the causes of teeth staining as well as the solutions will be different.
If you still are indecisive it may just come down to trying different products to find the one that is most suitable for you.But to help you start, here are a number of consistently excellent contenders:
• Opalescence Plus
• Arm & Hammer Complete Care
• Rembrandt Plus Peroxide
• Rembrandt Premium Extra Gentle
What Do I look for to find the Best Whitetning Toothpaste?
Just remember these points when looking for your toothpaste :
• Know what type of whitetning you are looking for. E.g. stain removal, generally whiter shade,
or maintaining your current shade from another whitening or bleaching treatment.
• Know what ingredients you might be sensitive to, there are a number of chemicals that are commonly used in whitening products.
so it would be more safe to know to make your search a lot easier and safer.
• Genuine teeth whitening toothpaste will list one or more ingredients that specifically help with whitening and/or stain removal. Some of these ingredients include: baking soda, calcium carbonate, silica, aluminum oxide, and peroxide.
• Remember to look for a product that you can use for a long time and keep your teeth healthy and clean. Just because it makes your teeth the brightest it doesn't mean its necessarily healthy. so make sure to pay attention to the 'toothpaste factor'.
• Have some patience. It takes time to see the results you're looking for, even when using the strongest toothpaste it may take up to months.
If you want faster results then you will want to look into teeth whitening treatments that are stronger than toothpastes. even the best whitening toothpaste is not the answer and so you should consider other effective options like strips or gel (most powerful).
Review in this video about Best whitening toothpaste, its very helpful.

Informations about Best whitening toothpaste

Types Of Toothpastes
Not everyone has the same teeth which means that there cannot be only one toothpaste to whiten them all.
There are too many different types of teeth whitening pastes. Some of them concentrate on stain removal. Mostly for people who drink coffee or smoke cigarettes. Other toothpastes are on general tooth decay prevention.
We all live our lifes differently, and we all have our own list of hygiene issues. People who drink coffee, soda or other products that may cause stained teeth need toothpastes with strong stain removal ingredients.
But the one with a sensitive enamel need to use mild toothpastes.
Finding The Best Whitening Toothpaste
There are a few things to consider before choosing the right toothpaste to whiten your teeth. First you need
to figure out what causes your teeth to be yellowish. for example if you are the type of person that drinks coffee, smoke or chew tobacco, then you need to use toothpaste with strong stain removal properties. However, if you're not then just brush you teeth daily, preferably after every meal.
If your teeth are sensitive, make to sure to check the product description of the toothpaste and find out what
ingredients it contains. Just to make sure there isn't some kind of chemical that may potentially harm your teeth. It best to visit your dentist and ask him or her to advise you on the matter, and perhaps recommend a good product you can use.
Keeping Your Teeth White
The best way to keep your theeth white is to brush them every day after each meal. if you fail to do this regularly your teeth will start to turn yellowish again, especially if your meals consists of food that can easily cause stains.
Also stock up on a complete set of teeth whitening supplies. get an effective toothbrush and replace it when you it cant remove plaque from your teeth any longer. Always good to keep a dental floss as well and use it to remove leftovers in between your teeth and of course brush with what you think is the most effective and best whitening toothpaste for you.
Here are a few products worth checking out :
Crest 3D White Vivid Fluoride Toothpaste - This toothpaste helps to shade your teeth against new stains from forming. It's the only one in the market that has Daily Whitebond. Besides the whitening aspect, it also fights cavities, removes plaques and refresh your enamel all at the same time.

STATE COLLEGE - They met Friday morning in an empty gym, championship banners surrounding them. It was quiet enough that the Loyalsock baseball players could nearly hear past members of those championship teams encouraging them to seize the moment.
Several hours later, when both the noise and the pressure both were so high, they did.
Because of that, those players and coaches now share a bond that can never be broken. Wherever they go, whatever they do, they will always be joined together. Now and forever, 2013 Loyalsock will be Pennsylvania's best Class AA baseball team.
Bailey Young hit a one-out, walk-off single, scoring pinch-runner Caleb Robbins from second Friday at Penn State's Medlar Field at Lubrano Park as Loyalsock edged Beaver, 5-4 and captured the Class AA state championship. Young answered Nick Hineman who had tied the game with a two-out single in the top of the seventh and the junior designated hitter put an exclamation point on one of the best state finals in Class AA history.
"I told them this morning that if we win this one we walk together forever," Loyalsock coach Jeremy Eck said. "I asked them how do you want to be remembered? Do you want to be a good team that got to the state final or do you want to hang on that wall for the rest of your life? They showed us what it's all about."
"I'm speechless. I'm stuttering right now," lone senior starter Ethan Moore said. "It's been a long road. Just to be here looking at this field, I keep asking all the players if we just won states. It's unbelievable."
Loyalsock won the program's second state title and first since 2008. How the Lancers (22-3) won it always will stand out. The Lancers overcame a series of injuries, adversity and other obstacles. They lost before they could win, dropping the district final to Hughesville before coming back with a vengeance in states. Loyalsock defeated four straight district champions who were a combined 81-9 and yesterday beat a team that had yet to allow a run in three state playoff games.
Hineman hitting the game-tying single when Loyalsock was one out from victory was one last hurdle to overcome. Like they did so many times before, the Lancers again found a way.
"I don't think we caught a break all year. We had injuries everywhere. We had some losses from the team but we pulled through and came together as one," third baseman Tommy Baggett said. "Everyone steps up at the right time. Whoever is up there, they step up and get the job done."
Unfazed, Loyalsock stayed upbeat and Robbie Klein (1 for 3) ignited the game-winning rally when he was hit by a pitch. Robbins ran for Klein and moved to second on Moore's well-placed bunt before Baggett (1 for 2, 2 RBIs) was intentionally walked.
"In the bottom of the seventh he (Eck) said if Robbie gets on you have one job and thats to get the bunt down," Moore said. "I said, damn right. I'm getting that bunt down, we're moving him over and we're winning this game."
Moore was right. Young fell behind Beaver ace Austin Ross but kept battling and fouled off three pitches. The Radford-bound pitcher challenged him next with a fastball on the corner, but Klein shortened his swing and drove a hard grounder past a diving Hineman and into right field. Robbins furiously sprinted as the Loyalsock fans screamed down the first-base line and Eck waved him around third.
The throw from right field was cut off and before the relay came home, Robbins slid home and into immortality as Loyalsock captured the state's biggest prize.
"Once I saw the throw come in I looked back at home and I saw him score. The first person I saw coming at me was Kyle Datres. He told me I was going to get a hit that at-bat and it gave me confidence," Young said. "This is amazing. You can't explain the feeling after a state championship win."
"What an unbelievable way to end the season," Robbins said. "I was scoring no matter what. It was pure adrenaline. As soon as I touched third base I was running as fast as I could. I had to do it for our town and for my family and my pop. I can't find the words to explain it. It was so awesome."
The hit of Young's life and the run of Robbins' life made a winner of Datres who threw a complete game and allowed only two earned runs while striking out six. After Hineman tied it, Datres fought back and induced an inning-ending flyout to Jimmy Webb who earlier in the seventh, dove over the right-field wall in foul territory going for a catch.
Loyalsock was knocked down, but not out and came off the ropes to deliver the final blow.
"It really is a dream come true," said Eck, while holding young son Elijah who received a kiss from his father after Eck finished handing out gold medals "Every one of these guys has so much heart and they are all gamers."
Datres and Webb were instrumental to Loyalsock taking its first lead in the third inning. After Luke Glavin tied it 1-1 with a two-out, second-inning single, Datres hit a leadoff double in the third and moved to third on a throwing error. Webb followed with an RBI double to right-center and scored on Baggett's sacrifice fly.
Beaver (20-4) tied it at 3-3 with two fourth-inning runs but Loyalsock regained the lead in the fifth when Baggett hit a one-out RBI single and scored Klein, who had hit a single before Moore reached on an error. The Lancers took good approaches against Ross (10-2), who had shut out three straight opponents, and delivered six hits while striking out only four times.
Young's final at-bat epitomized everything. Two weeks ago, Young hit a clutch sixth-inning RBI single in the district semifinals against Montoursville. This time, he delivered a hit that will forever be a part of Loyalsock lore. This moment, this season is now all theirs.
"It was a Cinderella story," Robbins said. "We're never going to forget this moment and this experience."

Except for a few most of the people we met were wonderful & will continue to be our friends back on land, the staff were exceptional & very helpful even under some very adverse conditions (we did go through a cyclone which lasted in excess of 24 hours).
Our cabin was always kept clean & tidy by the steward assigned & nothing was too much trouble for him.
A water pipe did break on deck 5 but the staff worked hard too ensure passengers were not inconvenienced too much. This pipe burst not far from our cabin & there were only about 7 cabins at the most that were affected, & those that did were offered other cabins (as I was told by one of the passengers affected). We also did not experience any sewerage problems, in or near our cabin.
A lot of passengers did get sea sick and again the staff worked their backsides off to clean up after everyone. One of the lifts was a bit whiffy for a few days but what does anyone really expect.
If a 5 star plus cruise is what you want then book & pay the price don't book a 3 star cruise and complain about every little thing including not having enough room for a slice of lemon in the glass of water ................can you believe someone did actually do this.
The cruise we experienced was great & maybe there are better ones out there but we have NO COMPLAINTS & thank all the staff & our friends for making it SO GOOD.

If you are willing to go 2-7x the Redfield 2-7x is a great scope for the price. I have one on my K-31.
December 8, 2012, 03:36 PM
If you are looking for a 1-4.....really depends on the reticle that you are looking for.
Take a look at the 1-4 in the vortex pst rifle scope (http://www.sportoptics.com/vortex-pst-rifle-scopes.aspx)line if you are looking for an moa or mil based reticle.
Leupold would be where I would look for a more traditional hunting scope.

I have a Bushnell Elite 1.25-4x24 and a Nikon Monarch African in a similar mag range. Neither are "true 1x" but it doesn't bother me for either one. Both have excellent glass and are well built and tough. In both cases I'm wishing that I'd bought more than one of each at the prices that I paid. Both use a German #4 reticule. The Bushnell is illuminated. I like a basic reticule rather than one of the tacticool combo ranging/CQB/zombie eradication things that don't really suit my purpose in a low power scope.
Just personal preference, but I like a little more magnification available on the top end for a hunting scope. All my hunting rifle scopes have a bottom end of 2-2.5x and go up to 7, 10 and 16x depending on the rifle and its intended primary use and cartridge that the rifle is chambered in. Dial it down to low power for stalking and dial it up if a longer shot is required. 2x worked just fine on a close up deer at around 25yds this year.

I will echo what was said above and take a look at the vortex viper pst. I have owned one for a few months and in the price range you have they are tough to beat.

Super Racing
Eagle Farm victory shows Gallinari's Magic Millions form no fluke
- From: The Courier-Mail
- January 31, 2013
PROMISING filly Gallinari almost snatched an unlikely win on Magic Millions Day, but left nothing to chance when proving too strong in a three-year-old fillies maiden at Eagle Farm yesterday.
Gallinari had previously run second to Danrho in the rich Magic Millions maiden, almost winning after Danrho was poleaxed by a riderless horse.
"I thought the bird had flown, but when Hughie (Bowman on Danrho) got knocked over I thought she was half a chance," jockey Larry Cassidy said.
"(Yesterday) she was just too good for them.
"She's an easy filly to ride, and that will be the first of many (wins)."
Trainer Brian Dais is now keen to test Gallinari in Saturday grade.
"She could have won four times by now, but it's nice to get the first win under the belt and I think she's going to be a handy filly," Dais said.
Kelly Schweida tipped a bright future for maiden winner Lennie's Choice, who surprised many when he stopped the clock in a slick 58.2sec, prompting stewards to upgrade the track from a Heavy 10 to Slow 7.
"He's always shown a bit - a lot actually - but we've had to be patient because he had an operation to remove chips in his knees," Schweida said.
"It's an ugly looking thing (the scar), but it seems to work all right.
"I think he won that race despite not handling the conditions. It was just lucky (jockey Tegan Harrison) was able to hold him together, because he was a lot better than them.
"I'm not really sure how far he will go, but he looks like a sprinter. He's a real little nugget."
Damian Browne recouped some of the $1000 fine he was forced to pay after being beaten on Buakaw at Doomben last time when the gelding came with a powerful burst to win the Sequalo @ Lyndhurst Handicap.

GENERATIONS OF physicians have learned in lecture halls and clinics that normal blood pressure (BP) is less than 140/90 mm Hg. During the past 30 years, an unending stream of effective hypertension medications has been developed and marketed, and classic epidemiologic studies and clinical trials have demonstrated again and again the importance of aggressive treatment of hypertension.

Yahoo CEO, Scott Thompson has officially resigned from his position after the recent scandal over his resume. Couple of days ago few reports started to spread around the web over Thompson's resume, accusing him of including a fake computer science degree. Over these reports he has decided to leave his job for good.
Now, Yahoo's global media head Ross Levinsohn will be taking the lead as the new CEO. The guy who found Thompson's mistake, Daniel Loeb, will also be getting a company director post too.

Wednesday marked day 10 of protests by union workers in Wisconsin. They are protesting a budget cutting measure which restricts some of their collective bargaining rights.
The protest trend seeming to be spreading, setting up a major battle between unions and state governments across the Midwest.
Democratic Wisconsin state senators have remained holed up in Illinois. They have stalled a vote on Republican Gov. Scott Walker's budget cuts designed to reduce the state's $137 million deficit.
Why should the average American worry about union disputes in a handful of states? Phil Kerpen, with Americans for Propserity, has more, following this report.Richard Noyes, director of media analysis at the Media Research Center, talked more about this story on CBN News Channel Midday News, Feb. 18. Click here for his comments.
"We had to come to the land of Lincoln because we felt that the values and traditions of Wisconsin were being threatened," said Sen. Chris Larson, D-Wisc.
However, Badger State Republicans worry traditions won't matter if the reins aren't tightened on state spending.
The GOP has enough votes to pass Walker's bill, but without a quorum in the State Senate, they can't send it to the governor's desk.
Walker's bill requires most state workers to contribute more to their pensions and health insurance. It also strips their right to collectively bargain anything but their salaries.
Walker has upped the stakes on Tuesday, warning that some state employees could start receiving pink slips next week if his bill isn't passed soon.
As more states work to trim spending, the labor protests have spread.
In Ohio, unionized state workers are fighting a bill that effectively ends their collective bargaining rights.
"If you have no say in your benefits, no say in your wages, no say in your working conditions, it's going to continue to get worse and worse and worse," said Brian Gates, who opposes the Ohio Senate measure. "It's a race to the bottom."
Yet, Gov. John Kasich, R-Ohio, said the bottom is where Ohio will end up if the state doesn't get its fiscal house in order.
"I'm spending a lot of time talking to companies here that are being courted by other states," Kasich said. "If we keep losing jobs, we won't make it as a state."
In Indiana, Republicans repeatedly called the State House roll Tuesday, but only three Democrats were present.
The rest left the capitol to allow legislation banning collective bargaining rights to expire.
Also, in New Jersey, Gov. Chris Christie, (R), has announced major cuts to union employee benefits.
"There can no longer be two classes of citizens -- one that receives rich health and pension benefits, and all the rest who are left to pay for them," Christie said.
Meanwhile, in California and Massachusetts, pro-union rallies formed in solidarity with union workers in other states.
Union workers have warned Republicans they will remember efforts to strip their bargaining rights come election time. However, political scientists say cost cutting measures could also help Republicans with conservative voters, including influential Tea Party activists, during the next election.

'The Help' thesp recognized for breakthrough performance
Octavia Spencer will be honored with the Breakthrough Performance Award at the Palm Springs Film Festival. Spencer will receive the award at a gala on Jan. 7.
"Octavia Spencer is a consummate actress who seamlessly blends her dramatic and comedic talents, creating performances of uncommon depth," said chairman Harold Matzner.
Being recognized in Palm Springs represents another strategic step toward a potential supporting actress Academy Award nomination for Spencer, whose role in "The Help" has earned her awards buzz since the film's debut this summer. The well-timed festival, which runs Jan. 5-16, occupies a key spot in awards season because it takes place when Golden Globe and Oscar voters still have ballots in hand.
Previously announced honorees include George Clooney, Glenn Close, Michel Hazanavicius and Michelle Williams.

Melioidosis has emerged from being a rare exotic infection to one of considerable importance in the United States during the past decade because of the large number of military and civilian personnel exposed to the causative agent, Pseudomonas pseudomallei, which is ubiquitous in the soil and water of Southeast Asia.1-5 While the total number of recognized cases of overt melioidosis has been relatively small, deficiencies in our knowledge of its natural history preclude the conclusion that with our ultimate withdrawal from Indochina, melioidosis with its exacting requirements for diagnosis and appropriate management can be eclipsed from major consideration by physicians in the United States. The case to be presented here is particularly noteworthy in that it illustrates the potential hazard for delayed reactivation of latent disease. This case, as well as additional scattered reports, poses multiple questions: What is the likelihood that an individual with inapparent melioidosis might activate

Most government agencies keep an eye on their public image. The Metropolitan Transit Authority goes further, documenting its coverage in reports delivered to board members at their monthly meetings.
The January report, delivered to the board Thursday, starts with a list of the main story topics, including the work of Mayor Annise Parker's Metro transition teams, the launch of a new bus route serving the Energy Corridor District and new federal rules for funding transit projects.
The report also includes the chart below, which tracks radio and television (but not print) stories and classifies each one as positive, negative or neutral based on its tone.
A chart from Metro's monthly media report.
Not a single negative story on Metro in January? This is a judgment call, of course, but one television story included in the report featured comments from leaders of a school for special needs students that might have to close because of Metro's acquisition of property for its University light-rail line. Hardly the sort of thing that produces warm, fuzzy feelings for the agency.
During his report to the board Thursday, George DeMontrond, who chairs the board's government-public relations committee, noted favorable stories about Metro providing vans and heaters to keep people warm during recent cold weather. Paid marketing with the same message, DeMontrond said, would have cost more than Metro spent to keep the heated vans running.
He hastened to add that this wasn't the reason Metro provided the service.

My husband is my hero. Married 12 years, we've had our share of rough spots in the road, like all couples. However, when his cancer was revealed, we began to face a real test; a test of faith in God, a test of individual strength and strength as a couple, and a test of the vows we made to one another when we married.
Bruce has surpassed any expectation I could ever have for dealing with this ugly disease. After diagnosis he gave me his word he would fight for his life. He set goals for himself; making it to our granddaughter's (Tegan Maeve, whom he adores) first birthday, then Thanksgiving, my birthday, Christmas, his birthday, our children's birthdays, Valentine's Day ... there is always a goal.
March 19, Bruce was rewarded with a goal he had not officially set. Our daughter, April, married. Bruce was able to place her hand in the waiting grasp of our son-in-law-to-be, Rudy.
This was such a momentous occasion for us. Though April is Bruce's stepdaughter, he has been "Dad" for 12 years.
He has helped with homework, taught her to drive with patience I couldn't have purchased for myself, eaten meals from her beginning enthusiastic, but inexperienced, chef days. The list goes on.
Him being able to be a part of her union with Rudy is something that we will cherish forever.
As April, Bruce and I were waiting in the bedroom, before he walked her to the living room for the ceremony to begin, he pulled the three of us together. I thought "group hug." Yes, but first Bruce led us in prayer. He thanked God for the occasion, and for being allowed to participate.
The thickness in his voice told me he hadn't expected to be here for this. Moments later, when he "gave her away" with a kiss on the head, it was tough for many attending to hold back tears.
He was having a rough day physically, and I knew it was all he could do to even sit up, but he would not be deterred from making the most of this occasion.
For more than 20 months now Bruce has been exceeding all expectations. Many would have given up long ago. Refusing to let go of life is tiring, all mentally, physically and emotionally. Every day though, he continues to fight the good fight.
We've been receiving lots of e-mails (thank you all so much!), and I am amazed at the love and respect the community has for my husband. All the kind things you say about him are true. When I read them, I usually fight back tears and think, "And if they knew about ..."
Bruce is the strong, courageous, faithful man you know him to be. Just take what you are thinking and multiply it by a thousand and you will have the true picture of his character. You will understand why he is my hero.

Most Gulf-Coast fish and humans agree on one thing: Speckled trout taste delicious.
That's a belief held just as strongly among speckled trout themselves. Bigger trout would just as soon eat a smaller trout as they would a croaker or pogie.
This angler found that out the hard way. While fishing near Rockport, Texas, he hooked a monster trout that would have looked beautiful on anybody's wall.
He was just about to slip a Boga-Grip in its mouth when he realized what he had was the speckled-trout version of Russian shell dolls.
The video is loaded with F-bombs, which makes it NSFW. Don't watch it if coarse language offends you.
All in all, though, I'd say the guy handled it pretty well.

Digital Calipers DRO (Digital Read Out)
Isn't it often the case that you spend more time setting up your tools with which you plan to be productive than actually being productive?!? Well, that is definitely the case here at NerdKits, where we recently acquired a Smithy 1220XL lathe / mill combo machine. While getting acquainted with the machine, we noticed the calibrated dial ticks on the Z-axis were far too coarse to get the precise cuts we knew the machine was capable of making. So, in order to improve our machine, we created a digital read out for the axis by using a cheap digital caliper and a NerdKits Microcontroller Kit. The digital read out (DRO) uses the information from the calipers to display the current position of the cutting tool on the LCD. This project brings a lot of neat concepts together, including a few mechanical design concepts, the use of buttons and switches with microcontrollers, and even level shifting circuits to read the signals from the small digital calipers. As always, we documented every single part of the project, including explanations of the higher level concepts, physical construction, and source code. Even if you aren't into power tools and cutting metal, there's a lot to learn from this project on the electronics and programming side!

Tell Democratic Leadership to Support the Alexander English Amendment!
How many times have you walked into a business where employees speak a language other than English? It can be very frustrating. Some businesses, such as the Salvation Army, have begun requiring employees to speak English while on the job. However, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) has sued the Salvation Army because they believe requiring employees to speak English violates their civil rights!
Senator Lamar Alexander (R-TN) agrees with you that this is an outrage! He recently offered an amendment to the Commerce, Justice, Science Appropriations Bill (H.R. 3093), to prohibit federal funds from being used by the EEOC to sue employers for requiring English on the job. The Alexander English amendment passed the Senate Appropriations Committee and was included in the final version that passed the Senate on October 16.
When the House and the Senate met in a conference committee to reconcile their CJS bills, the House voted 218-186 (Roll Call 1076) to instruct the House conferees to agree with the Senate and keep the Alexander language.
However, Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-MD), and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) have ordered that negotiations be indefinitely halted because they oppose allowing the Alexander English amendment being included in the CJS bill when it is sent to President Bush. This is dirty politics at its worst!
Your calls and activism are needed to tell Democrat leadership to stop holding the English language hostage! Both the House and Senate will be in recess over Thanksgiving. Be sure to drop in their district offices and call to let your Senators and Representatives know you want English spoken in the workplace! Support the Alexander English amendment in the CJS conference!
Businesses should not be worried they will be sued for requiring their employees to speak English on the job! We all know English is the key to success in America, as our original motto proclaims, E Pluribus Unumone from many.
The CJS conference committee should immediately reconvene and vote to keep the Alexander English amendment that prohibits the EEOC from suing businesses that require English in the workplace.
House CJS Conferees: Mollohan, Kennedy, Fattah, Ruppersberger, Schiff, Honda, DeLauro, Price, Frelinghuysen, Culberson, Rogers (KY), Latham, Aderholt, Obey, Lewis (CA)

Chattanooga, Tenn. - The Stetson men's tennis team won its third straight match and improved to 14-7 on the year with a 7-0 clean sweep of host Chattanooga (7-9) Friday afternoon at the UTC Tennis Courts. All six Hatters that played in the match registered singles and doubles victories.
Stetson claimed the doubles point with wins in all three matches; combinations were Didrik Berg (Oslo, Norway)/Cesare Gallo (Portogruaro, Italy), Njal Stene (Oslo, Norway)/Chris Swanteson (Vaxjo, Sweden) and Alex Hackett (Surrey, England)/Hans Adrian Riseng (Oslo, Norway). Stene/Swanteson won 8-4 while the other two combos won 8-5.
Four of the six singles matches ended in straight sets with only Riseng and Swanteson forced to go three sets to claim their wins. Berg earned the quickest victory, dispatching Jackson Tresnan 6-2, 6-1 in the #3 spot. Hacket won 6-2, 6-2 over Rick van de Bovenkamp on Court 4 while Gallo and Stene earned identical 6-3, 6-4 wins at the top two slots.
The Hatters continue their journey north through Tennessee when they visit four-time defending Atlantic Sun Conference champions ETSU at 11 a.m. tomorrrow in Johnson City.

About This Book
Roy Eberhardt is new to his small Florida community of Coconut Cove. Unfortunately, Roy's first acquaintance in Florida is Dana Matherson, a well-known bully. Then again, if Dana hadn't been sinking his thumbs into Roy's temples and mashing his face against the school-bus window, Roy might never have spotted the running boy. And the running boy is intriguing: he was running away from the school bus, carried no books, and — here's the odd part — wore no shoes.
Sensing a mystery, Roy sets himself on the boy's trail. The chase introduces him to potty-trained alligators, a fake-fart champion, some burrowing owls, a renegade eco-avenger, and several extremely poisonous snakes with unnaturally sparkling tails.
Roy has most definitely arrived in Carl Hiaasen's Florida.
" It seems unlikely that the master of noir-tinged, surrealistic black humor would write a novel for young readers. And yet, there has always been something delightfully juvenile about Hiaasen's imagination; beneath the bent cynicism lurks a distinctly 12-year-old cackle. In this thoroughly engaging tale of how middle schooler Roy Eberhardt, new kid in Coconut Cove, learns to love South Florida, Hiaasen lets his inner kid run rampant, both the subversive side that loves to see grown-ups make fools of themselves and the righteously indignant side, appalled at the mess being made of our planet. The story is full of offbeat humor, buffoonish yet charming supporting characters, and genuinely touching scenes of children enjoying the wildness of nature. He deserves a warm welcome into children's publishing." — Booklist

The Vienna Convention
An international treaty signed in 1961 defined the framework for diplomatic relations between independent countries.
The Vienna Convention, to which 187 nations are now party, lays down rules for embassies and the conduct of host nations to their guests. It also covers issues of diplomatic immunity and embassy territory.
Article 22 states: "The premises of the mission shall be inviolable. The agents of the receiving State may not enter them, except with the consent of the head of the mission."
If Mr Assange were to leave the embassy, perhaps his best claim to legal protection from arrest would be as

Wall Street Decline Takes Its Toll...
Adapting to Evolving Business Environments Is...
Nothing Beats Immunoassays for Sensitivity, Specificity,...
Quadruple Helices Appear To Have Role...
One challenge for protein engineers is to produce biopharmaceuticals that can withstand the proteolytic conditions of the gastrointestinal tract and serum. This was one of many challenges discussed at Cambridge Healthtech's "PEGS Summit" held last month in Boston. To meet that demand, Manuel Vega, CEO of Nautilus Biotech (www.nautilusbiotech.com), described a 2-D scanning approach that identified a single residue change that could confer proteolysis resistance in plasma and tissues in Nautilus' two lead products—interferon alpha (Belerofon) and human growth hormone (HGH; Vitatropin).
The approach includes experimental scans of proteolytic sites across the entire linear peptide sequence. "In the end, we have been able to identify all of the sites for proteolysis that matter," said Vega, "These are sites that have an impact on the in vivo half life." Researchers at Nautilus validated Belerofon, Vitatropin, and a few other proteins in vivo in multiple animal models, including rat, monkey, and mouse for pharmacokinetics and biological activity.
Though Nautilus reduced proteolysis of interferon alpha, HGH, and other proteins with single point mutations, Vega admitted that some proteins may need more than one mutation at proteolysis sites. Vega said Nautilus researchers successfully tested this approach on proteins that ranged in size from 80 amino acids up to 450. Proteolysis-resistant variants also showed improved PK profiles. "That means that proteolysis plays a role in the process of clearance of circulating proteins," said Vega.
Proteolysis-resistant proteins show extended half-lives in the gastrointestinal tract as well, thus favoring absorption through the blood barrier. This, Vega said, opens the door for oral administration of therapeutic proteins.
Protease activity is not always a problem to be avoided. Human proteases themselves can be exploited as biologics. The major problems with many applications of so-called therapeutic proteases, however, are that they are not active enough, not specific enough, or are too rapidly inactivated by the highly active serine protease inhibitors, SERPINs, naturally present in human serum.
Wayne M. Coco, vp of protein engineering at Direvo Biotech (www.direvo.com), presented a strategy that uses combinatorial libraries and confocal fluorimetry screening to engineer a nonspecific human protease, trypsin, for high specificity against anti-TNFalpha, a cytokine involved in systemic inflammation. The Direvo scientists accomplished this goal while creating a trypsin variant with an 80-fold increase in specific activity and with several thousand-fold less inhibition in 100% human serum (IC50), according to Coco.
"Our unique combination of library strategies with confocal screening in 100% human serum represents a general platform for the comprehensive optimization of therapeutic proteases," said Coco. "We can do highly miniaturized, high-throughput screens in formats that are predictive of ultimate application."
Combinatorial libraries for variant testing included whole gene random mutagenesis and libraries focused on either individual residues or protein domains. "From the improvements that we get in those initial libraries, we recombine the best mutations with proprietary DNA-shuffling techniques," said Coco.
The Direvo screening technique uses confocal laser technology developed by Evotec (www.evotec.com) and exclusively owned by Direvo for protein engineering. The confocal laser not only detects changes in fluorophore-labeled protein populations, but changes at the individual molecule level, thus contributing to miniaturization, throughput, and unique assay formats.

Ryan Tedder: Beyonce is working on two projects in 2012
Award-winning songwriter and producer says conversation on diva's next move 'litererally just happened'
LOS ANGELES -- Much like Adele, said Ryan Tedder, Beyonce "steers the ship." And the award-winning producer/songwriter has some idea of just where that ship is going.
Tedder was speaking with press at the 2012 Grammy Awards after picking up an honor for contributing to Adele's Album of the Year, "21," and his nomination for Producer of the Year, Non-Classical. Asked what his next projects were for 2012, he said that B.o.B.'s next single would be out this week, and he's had his hands on music for K'Naan, Gavin Degraw and some "Beyonce stuff."
He said it goes "without saying" that Bey's work will have some reflection on her newborn child Blue Ivy, but that "the conversations about her next album literally just happened."
"You feed her the best that you have. She's just a phenomenal filter… she can identify what the next thing is," Tedder said of the "Party" girl, noting that she has "two projects happening" this year. "You just let her go."
Tedder went on to describe witnessing the moment when Adele's vocal cords gave out during her Denver concert last year, and the gutted feeling he had when she was forced to cancel her remaining tour dates. He was very proud of the way the British singer bounced back for tonight's performance, and felt that "one billion percent" of the reason that radio, the Grammys and just about everybody else has reacted to "21" the way they have is because of it's "real music" appeal.
He explained his method of scanning the U.K. and U.S. hits charts once a week, taking note of how few artists are actually performing on instruments, or singing pop from a laptop.
"There's not going to be a bunch of Adeles," he warned, though labels may still try to push similar artists. "Any time the pendulum swings, it's looking for one thing -- one artist, one song -- to swing it all the way to the other direction. I love Deadmau5 and Max Martin. [But] I like to see actual instrumentation, less laptop hits."
The organic process behind his work with Adele sometimes started with just an instrument and a conversation. For "Rumour Has It," Tedder said he was playing around with a Radiohead riff, and Adele was explaining some of her frustrations with tabloids and gossip, literally using the phrase, "'Rumor has it that Adele…'"
"When I handed the songs in, I said that this is the least radio stuff I've ever done," he said, expressing his shock that radio took to his contributions "Rumour Has It" and "Turning Tables" so fervently. "This is my favorite stuff I've done."

Development and nature can go hand in hand, according to a new report published by an alliance of conservationists and planning experts.
Planning Naturally has been produced by the RSPB, the RTPI (Royal Town Planning Institute) and CIEEM (Chartered Institute of Ecology And Environmental Management).
The RSPB says the document aims to show how giving nature a home should be an integral part of the planning process.
Using 12 principles of good spatial planning backed by examples from across the UK and further afield it lays out how society can achieve growth in housing, infrastructure and industry without damaging the habitats which support our threatened species.
The report highlights examples such as the Rathlin Island Action Plan, which illustrates public participation for communities where protection and enhancement of the natural environment is a particular issue, and ambitious plans for the protection of 10,000 square km of central Scotland - the largest wetland creation project in Europe at Wallasea Island in Essex.
Further afield examples of inspiring planning include a specialist environmental court in Vermont, US which oversees matters of environmental justice.
Planning Naturally brings together these experiences in order to inspire planning officials, consultants, developers and ecologists and show them what can be done.
However all this could be undermined in Northern Ireland, if the Planning Bill, as proposed, makes its way into legislation.
The RSPB in Northern Ireland is extremely concerned that the recent amendments to the Bill will restrict the right to a fair opportunity to challenge planning decisions, contrary to one of the report principles, and could prioritise the 'economic development' potential of individual applications above all other considerations.
While the RSPB is supportive of sustainable development which secures economic prosperity, the Planning Bill is a major shift away from this delicate balancing exercise to a situation where even our Areas of Special Scientific Interest could be at risk from inappropriate development, and exclude people and interest groups from seeking environmental justice through legal redress. These are sites which are recognised as being our most valuable natural places - and worthy of protection.
Dr James Robinson, Director, RSPB NI, said: "The recent State of Nature report published by 25 leading wildlife groups showed that across the UK, 60 per cent of species are in decline and more than one in ten of all the species assessed are under threat of disappearing from our shores altogether.
"Loss of habitat and urbanisation are significant factors in the decline of our wildlife and good progress had been made in recent years in developing projects and plans with nature in mind. Planning Naturally is testament to this, however, the introduction of the Planning Bill could unravel the principles of the UK planning process leading to damage and destruction of many homes for wildlife."
He added: "I would encourage all of our decision-makers to read Planning Naturally, a report compiled by a wide range of planning experts. It should become apparent very quickly that economic development and nature do not need to be mutually exclusive. Unfortunately, the Planning Bill in its current form reinforces this false division of pitting the economy against the natural environment."

Choose pinot grigio, gris to accompany summer meals
When foodies seek light, crisp, lively white wines to go with light summer meals, they often turn to pinot grigio and pinot gris.
These are simple wines, made for easy sipping, not serious contemplation. They're best served cool, to emphasize their crispness, and within a year or two of being made, to catch their freshness.
They're usually inexpensive. When they're good, they're fruity and fun. And even when they're not perfectly made, they're seldom worse than lean, tart and inoffensive, which makes them safe choices when you encounter overinflated prices on a wine list.
They're soaring in popularity. California pinot grigio, for example, quadrupled its vine acreage between 2001 and 2012, according to the California Grape Acreage Report.
A small problem: They can be hard to figure out unless you keep a couple of things in mind. First, pinot grigio and pinot gris are the same grape. The word "pinot" comes from the French term for pine cone. Pinot grigio means "gray pinot" in Italian. Pinot gris means the same thing in French.
Even though the grape is slightly pink.
To make things worse, the grape, by either name, is a mutation of pinot noir, which means "black pinot," even though that grape is purple, and makes the famous red wines of France's Burgundy region, California and elsewhere.
Even though pinot grigio and pinot gris are the same grape, they can make quite different wines.
Pinot grigio comes mostly from cool northern Italy, and makes a lean, crisp, light-bodied wine with aromas and flavors of citrus and minerals.
Pinot gris, especially from France's Alsace region, is richer, lusher, often lightly sweet, with rich, spicy flavors of melons and tropical fruit.
Producers in California, New Zealand and elsewhere usually signal which style they're going for by which name they choose.

Thank You Marylou, second in last year's Adirondack S. (G2) at Saratoga, stepped up Sunday to take the $75,000 Any Limit S. at Gulfstream Park in the first 2014 outing for the 3-year-old Birdstone filly.
A nice break put Thank You Marylou in a stalking spot behind two front-runners as the field made their way down the backstretch. Going three wide around the turn and into the lane, Thank You Marylou rolled by the pacesetters in mid-stretch to score by 2 1/2 lengths under jockey Julien Leparoux. The final time for the seven furlongs was an excellent 1:21.51, earning a Beyer Speed Figure of 95.
"I had a perfect trip, sitting third on the outside in the clear," Leparoux said. "When I asked her to go, she just took off. She's a very nice filly. It was the first time I've been on her, so it was a good surprise."
"She's been training really well since she came back," Mike Maker's assistant trainer Evelio Chavez commented. "Mike has done a really good job with her. It's really unbelievable that she could run like that off the layoff. Sometimes horses need the race when they've been off for so long, but she proved that she's a runner. That's her style--she likes to be behind horse and then run."
Thank You Marylou was named in honor Marylou Whitney, who assisted the filly's owners when Sarah Ramsey suffered a stroke in 2007. The Ramsey's bought their latest stakes winner for $47,000 at the 2011 Keeneland November Breeding Stock sale.
Thank You Marylou has now bankrolled $128,200 with two wins in three starts, including a career debut win in the $75,000 Tippett S. at Colonial Downs.
Whitney bred and owned Birdstone, winner of the Travers S. (G1) and Belmont S. (G1) in 2004. Birdstone, who stands this year at Gainesway for $10,000 LFS&N, is also the sire of leading 3-year-old colt Conquest Titan.

The number of mortgage applications continued to drop last week for the fifth consecutive time. According to the Mortgage Bankers Association's weekly market composite index, a measure of mortgage loan application volume, there were 1.2% fewer applications for home loans submitted last week than the week before. On a year-over-year basis, that equates to a 44% decline.
If you've been following the mortgage market over the last few months, this shouldn't come as a particularly big surprise. Since the end of May, interest rates have soared, sending the demand for home loans concomitantly lower.
Given their heightened sensitivity to rates, applications to refinance an existing home, as opposed to purchase a new one, have been particularly hard hit. As evidence of this, the MBA's refinance index is at its lowest level since July of 2011. They've dropped by over 50% in the last two months alone, as the rate on a conventional 30-year fixed-rate mortgage went from below 3.5% to right around 4.5% today.
Paradoxically, the story is very different in the purchase-money mortgage arena. While the MBA's corresponding index fell by 2% last week and is down by roughly 10% since the beginning of May, the nation's two largest mortgage originators, Wells Fargo (NYSE: WFC ) and JPMorgan Chase (NYSE: JPM ) , recently reported that their purchase-money originations shot up in the second quarter by 44% and 46%, respectively, over the same three months last year.
This paradox has led some to conclude, and rightly so at this point, that the surge in mortgage rates may ultimately act as a catalyst for the housing market, at least in the short run. If true, it would be good news for more than just mortgage underwriters. Homebuilders like Hovnanian (NYSE: HOV ) would benefit from increased demand. And peripheral industries like home improvement retailers, most notably Home Depot (NYSE: HD ) and Lowe's (NYSE: LOW ) , would see an uptick in business as well.
Many investors are terrified about investing in big banking stocks after the crash, but the sector has one notable stand-out. In a sea of mismanaged and dangerous peers, it rises above as "The Only Big Bank Built to Last." You can uncover the top pick that Warren Buffett loves in The Motley Fool's new report.

The Edward and Anne Valentovic Memorial Scholarship
Monica Valentovic, Ph.D., professor of pharmacology, physiology and toxicology, has endowed a scholarship to be awarded to a third or fourth year medical student in the School of Medicine who has financial need and is involved in research. The Edward and Anne Valentovic Memorial Scholarship is named for her parents.
"My parents were hard working individuals," said Valentovic. "My dad was a foundry engineer and my mom worked in clothing manufacturing. They lived most of their lives in Cleveland, Ohio. I wanted them to be remembered in a way that would have an impact for a long time. I though this scholarship would help future physicians who will have patients similar to my parents, thus perpetuating my parents' inclination to help others."
Valentovic considers research to be an important aspect of training medical students. For this reason, first preference for the scholarship will be a student who has done or is currently involved in research with a faculty member in the Department of Pharmacology, Physiology and Toxicology, either while a medical student or prior to entering medical school.
Second preference is for a student who has done research while in medical school with a full-time School of Medicine faculty member who is associated with a department other than Pharmacology, Physiology and Toxicology.
"Very few students take the time to do research, either prior to starting medical school or while they are in medical school," said Valentovic. "In order to have a valuable research experience, students must invest time and dedication to a project. I believe this is the first scholarship at the medical school that targets students in this area.
"In my opinion, students doing research are often not recognized," added Valentovic. "This scholarship is a small way to recognize and reward students who have taken this extra effort. Research is a critical component for the development of new drugs, medical devices and treatments. A research experience emphasizes the approach to answer a question such as the mechanism for a drug interaction, including how to properly design a study as well as the endpoints and analysis. I believe a research experience broadens a student's approach to answering clinical problems. This scholarship is a way to give them financial assistance and remember my parents."
Valentovic is well aware of the significant financial investment students have while they are in medical school. "Reducing student debt is important," she said. "Medicine is a practice that helps other individuals in need. My parents were active in helping others and this scholarship is a long term commitment to help our medical students and, eventually, they will help others."
