Big News Of The WeekEdit
The Blizzcon 2007 Forums Have Gone LiveEdit
And it is already overrun with trolls. But if you are strong-willed and want to discuss the event with other Blizzcon adherents, there is no better place.
Rumors and ScuttlebuttEdit
The Second Arena Season Beings on June 19thEdit
We've got new rewards, new ratings, and 50 new ways to leave your lover! According to Blizzard rep Drysc:
"All of the current items will see new versions for season 2, with some new additions. The new honor rewards will be new versions of the epic items (boot, belt, bracer). A new back-slot item won't be added, but a new ring will be available. The arena set items are always intended to match their equivalent tier sets in appearance to easily link them through visual recognition to their PvE counterparts. Arena season 1 item cost reduction will be about 15%. There are more healing-centric items planned for season 2."
Spam Be Gone! OK – More Gone, Please!Edit
The new "report spam" feature is getting slightly changed (Eyonix):
"The new spam-reporting feature has been updated so that you can now report members inside your group or raid. This will allow players who are invited to groups created for purposes of spam to report the abuse appropriately. To report this type of spam, simply right-click on the player's name in the chat interface, and choosing the "Report Spam" option. Once you have selected this option, a dialogue box will open to confirm that you wish to report the target player, and your report will be sent once you confirm your choice."
Blizzard To Combine The Two Smallest PvP BattlegroupsEdit
The Cataclysm and Frenzy battlegroups will be combined sometime within the next month. Players on the Auchindoun, Azuremyst, Blood Furnace, Coilfang, Shattered Halls, Underbog, Area 52, Blade's Edge, Exodar, Terokkar, Scryers, Velen and Zangarmarsh realms can expect shorter queues, more balanced competition and faster progression to phat PvP loots!
Drop Of The WeekEdit
25 Things You Didn't Know About WoWEdit
The folks at WanderingGoblin.com went to the Blizzard WorldWide Invitational in South Korea, and filed a very interesting report on their blog. It's not really 25 things, there are more like 10 different items listed, and you probably do already know many of the bullet points. But there are some gems in there, such as:
"A good number of the English-speaking EU servers have evolved into… unofficial Czech servers or Polish servers."

This article was originally published on this site
LONDON. — Barclays has hired Stephen Dainton, a former Credit Suisse executive, to be global head of equities.
Dainton left Credit Suisse earlier this year, having previously run Credit Suisse's equities business in Europe and later coheaded the Swiss bank's markets business in the region. He will be based in London and report directly to Tim Throsby, the head of Barclays' corporate and investment bank. Throsby, who joined Barclays in January, was previously global head of equities at JPMorgan.
"Stephen will work with the Equities leadership team to accelerate delivery of our strategy to grow revenue and market share with a strong focus on our clients, conduct and controls," Throsby said in a memo announcing the appointment. A spokesman for Barclays confirmed the contents of the memo.
Barclays generated £455 million, or $590 million, in equities revenue in the first half of the year, up 12 percent from a year earlier, with the bank citing growth in equity financing and cash equities revenue. The unit generated 17 percent of Barclays' corporate and investment bank revenue in the period. — Markets Insider.

Bill Ballou TELEGRAM & GAZETTE STAFF
Published Thursday April 8, 2010 at 6:00 am
Joe Callahan's next hockey game should be three months to the day from his last one.
The Sharks' veteran defenseman expects to return to action tomorrow night when Hartford visits the DCU Center in the first game of a three-in-three weekend that will decide the Atlantic Division championship. Callahan is scheduled to play against Hartford, then again in Portland on Sunday.
His last game was on Jan. 9. After that, Callahan began dealing with some serious discomfort from a neck injury, an ailment that eventually required surgery. He played in 35 games and has missed the last 39. Before this year, Callahan had never played in fewer than 65 games in a season.
"I think I'm ready," he said. "I feel great. It'll probably take a shift or two to be comfortable out on the ice, but I think it will come back real quickly."
Assuming that Callahan's comeback happens on schedule, the Sharks should have a pretty solid defensive unit in the playoffs. They'll have Danny Groulx, Mike Moore, Derek Joslin, Callahan and Brett Westgarth as veterans, plus second-year man Michael Wilson. Rookie Nick Petrecki is on the postseason roster and newcomer Nick Schaus, who has impressed since joining Worcester from UMass-Lowell, will also be eligible to play.
Callahan would rather have avoided his three-month leave of absence, but thinks it may give him an edge heading into Calder Cup play.
"For everybody else," he said, "they've played their 80 games, and for me it's like starting a new season. Everybody else has some sort of injury, but I don't."
Worcester's final two regular-season home games are tomorrow night against Hartford and Saturday night versus Providence, and there are several events scheduled off the ice as well as on. Tomorrow night, U.S. Women's Olympic hockey player Erika Lawler of Fitchburg will sign autographs during the first intermission, and both Alex Stalock and Danny Groulx will receive their AHL awards.
The Providence game is the second of a doubleheader, with the Bruins Alumni playing at 4:30 p.m. Rick Middleton, Bob Sweeney, Ken Linesman and Bruce Shoebottom are among the ex-Bruins expected to skate. Proceeds benefit the "Why Me" organization.
Worcester was 3 for 7 with the extra man, scoring as many power-play goals last night as it had in the previous 12 games. … Cory Quirk should play tomorrow night. He has eight goals this season, seven of them against Connecticut teams Hartford and Bridgeport. … Hamilton's Guy Boucher won the Pieri Award as the league's top coach. The AHL does not release vote totals, but the Sharks' Roy Sommer had to be in the top three somewhere. … Slumping forward Steven Zalewski got the night off. … Danny Groulx's goal was his 12th, setting a Sharks record for a defenseman in one season. … Worcester's previous high for goals in a game was eight, set in an 8-4 victory on Feb. 3 in Springfield. The Sharks have scored seven or more goals six times, four times on the road. … Derek Joslin had two assists and is tied for third on the Sharks' all-time list with Zalewski and Patrick Traverse. They all have 69 helpers.

General Corporation ( C Corp.)
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) refers to general corporations as "C" Corporations. Forming a C Corporation allows a business owner to create a separate legal structure that can shield their personal assets from judgments against the business. Unless a corporation applies for S Corporation status, the IRS taxes corporate profits as well as dividends paid to shareholders. We refer to this scenario as "double taxation." Double taxation refers to corporate and shareholder taxes. Corporations must pay taxes on their earnings. Individual shareholders must also pay taxes on any dividends they receive.
How You Can Benefit from a C Corporation?
Limited liability for directors, officers, shareholders, and employees
Attract investors through the sale of shares
Can issue more than one type of stock (example: common and preferred class)
Perpetual existence, even if a shareholder leaves the business

Not able to use WP Page Navi plugin for this theme
Resolved vjlamba
Hi, I am big fan of this theme and using it on my this Poetry Blog and wanted to show page numbers as this theme does not show any numbers by default, so i used 2-3 WP page navigation plugins but none worked on this theme and i am unable to show page numbers. The theme doesnt let any page navi plugin work and it only shows theme's default page navi. I want to use customized page navigation. Please help me as soon as possible
Could you give me a link for one of this plug-in, in order to figure out what's the problem?
If you want to use WP Page Navi plugin, once activated, you can use this snippet in your child theme functions.php:
add_action('wp_head', 'my_post_nav'); function my_post_nav(){ if ( !function_exists('wp_pagenavi') ) return; remove_action( '__after_loop' , array( TC_post_navigation::$instance , 'tc_post_nav' ), 20 ); add_action( '__after_loop', 'wp_pagenavi', 20 ); }
Oh how I wish this site had a "what a great post" button I could press 🙂
Hey Thanks a lot @d4z_c0nf..your code worked like a Charm 🙂
Hi @electricfeet – i really didn't get what you mean.
I wanted to be able to "recommend" or "upvote" d4z_c0nf's reply, which is a great pointer for how to remove a particular function in Customizr and replace it with another one.
And should I take it as a compliment? 😛
Since you solved, would you mind marking this topic as resolved?
Thanks 😀
And should I take it as a compliment? 😛
Absolutely! A perfect example of the joys of GPL software (free as in freedom, not as in beer).
Yep, sometimes it's just a matter of habit, living together for years with open source s.o.
Thank you @d4z_c0nf and i have marked this thread as closed 🙂
Sure @electricfeet ..you are absolutely right in saying..there must have been such a tool..for now i would request 'd4z_c0nf' to imagine a green button clicked by me which is reading : ""what a great help post" 😉
You're welcome 😉

If only today was gorgeous outside instead of this dreary weather. Fortunately yesterday was sunny and warm which allowed us time to work on outdoor activities. I took a half day to work on some man cave projects (more to come later) but spent the afternoon washing down our patio furniture and enjoying the sun. Who would have ever thought I would be taking a day off to wash patio furniture? The things love blinds us to.
Ok, the real reason isn't love but some very cute seat cushions for the front porch. A random trip to Big Lots resulted in a plethora of cushions for the house and necessitated another trip to return unwanted cushions. Once the weather isn't so rainy out, pictures will be posted.
Greg completed the big outdoor task yesterday, he put together his lawn mower. The mower isn't your typical gas-guzzling mower but a reel mower which requires him to push and do everything himself. Our lawn has some awkward spots where he had to lift the gas mower we were using, so he felt the reel mower was the best choice. He factored in the impact on the environment a gas mower had and made a thought out decision. It might have been based on is class work for his sustainable engineering degree but saving the environment sounds cooler.
I think it took him longer to open and unpack the box than it did to put together. There were about three pieces which needed to get screwed in and the whole time he kept chuckling "screwed hehehe" like a 13 year old boy.
Five minutes later (including box opening time) he was done and ready to mow.
We both took turns playing with the new toy and have a nicely trimmed front yard. Any bets on how long the thrill of mowing the lawn is going to last?

But most importantly they got the job done, professionally and timely."

The present invention relates generally to indicating devices for deterring crime. In particular, a pump sprayer having a mixture of non-toxic dyes therein for marking an assailant under circumstances indicating imminent attack is disclosed.
Attempts have been undertaken to develop effective personal self-defense devices for untrained individuals believing that such protection is necessary. Tear gas cartridges, sold under the trademark MACE, have become commonplace in our society, and may be purchased at hardware and drug stores in many jurisdictions. Additionally, lesser known devices employing tear gas substitutes such as ammonia or red pepper have been invented. Although these particular devices are purported to be effective in deterring crime directed toward an individual, including: robbery, rape, mayhem, kidnapping, and murder, the crime rate continues to soar.
In the District of Columbia alone this past year, over four hundred murders occurred. It has been reported that in only fifty percent of the murder cases investigated by District police were arrests of a suspect made, and in approximately fifty percent of the cases where an arrest was made were criminal convictions obtained and the guilty party sent to prison. It can be seen that even if the collective criminal justice systems for the remaining portion of the United States functioned with twice the efficiency in obtaining criminal convictions as that of the District of Columbia, clearly only a fraction of those individuals committing serious crime are being removed from society as a punishment for their criminal actions.
A major problem faced by prosecutors in obtaining convictions is the fact that the victim is usually the only witness to the crime and physical evidence establishing the presence of the defendant at the crime scene is often minimal at best. It has been found to be highly advantageous to have a self-defense device capable of assisting police and witnesses in identifying a criminal assailant at a later time. Tear gas does irritate the skin somewhat, causing a minimal skin reddening effect, but the effect is not long lasting and varies between individuals. Self-defense devices which include dyes, however, can be helpful in permitting authorities to identify the assailant, particularly if captured recently after the attack.
Personal self-defense devices containing tear gas and other lachrymal agents are likely to escalate many encounters. It is not improbable that unskilled users will incorrectly deploy the device and miss, or only partially strike, their assailant. The assailant then, in retaliation or self-defense, may choose to utilize a weapon such as a gun against original victim rather than flee as intended. Additionally, such devices lack retaining means for preventing their unauthorized removal from the victim's person as with a sharp blow. Under such circumstances, it is possible that the device could come within the possession of the attacker and who may utilize such to incapacitate the original user.
A self-defense device utilizing a non-toxic dye agent is believed to afford the optimum protection to a potential attack victim. Accuracy of aim is not critical with such a device as any contact of the colored spray will mark the potential assailant for later identification. When sprayed onto an assailant's body or clothing, many dying agents deposit a stain that cannot be removed without repeated washing. Furthermore, devices containing only dye agents are unlikely to cause serious bodily injury to small children who happen to encounter such when unattended unlike devices containing lachrymal agents, odor agents, and the like.
Containers for the dispensing of crime deterring fluids are known in the prior art, but they have not been employed or constructed to facilitate the contact of the fluid with an assailant and prevent the unauthorized removal of the device from the possession of the user. Moreover, the prior art devices often include complicated triggering or nozzle structures, and agents likely to escalate a criminal encounter.
U.S. Pat. No. 1,646,687, issued Oct. 25, 1927 to Thomas Daly, discloses an indicating device adapted to be employed in a valise for the prevention and detection of the theft of negotiable instruments and other documents. The device comprises an outer casing for receiving a discoloring material, such as a colored liquid dye, and an inner casing for receiving a suitable explosive. The explosive is electrically fired when unauthorized attempts are made to open the valise.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,610,806, issued Sep. 9, 1986 to Gerald M. Rosen, shows a skin-marking compound which reacts with proteins in the epidermis to form a reaction product which is invisible in ordinary light but fluoresces under ultraviolet light. Additionally, a dyestuff or pigment may be added to the skin-marking compound to render such visible in ordinary light. A conventional marking pen is used to apply the compound to the skin.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,728,037, issued Mar. 1, 1988 to Robert Mainhardt, provides a self-defense device including a resilient squeeze bottle having a non-toxic deterrent fluid mixture therein. A sealing substance placed within the nozzle prevents fluid leakage therefrom prior to use. The deterrent mixture includes: a surfactant lachrymal agent, a food-grade dye and an odor agent.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,848,246, issued Jul. 18, 1989 to Leon Rosen, describes a glove worn upon the hand of a "victim" including plural color applicators located on the respective finger tips of the glove. When used, each applicator applies a respectively colored dye which supplied via conduit from a reservoir located at the palm or microencapsulated in beads on the glove's finger tips.
None of the above inventions and patents, taken either singly or in combination, is seen to describe the instant invention as claimed.
Accordingly, it is a principal object of the invention to provide a self-defense device including a pump spray bottle having a non-toxic dye mixture therein for marking an assailant under circumstances indicating imminent attack.
Additionally, it is an object of the invention to provide a self-defense device which may not be easily removed from the possession of the user without assent to such an action.
It is a final object of the invention to provide improved elements and arrangements in a self-defense device for the purposes described which is inexpensive, dependable and fully effective in accomplishing its intended purposes.
These and other objects of the present invention will become readily apparent upon further review of the following specification and drawings.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an assailant marker constructed in accordance with this invention and partially disassembled for inspection.
FIG. 2 is a side elevational view of the marker of FIG. 1, the bottle thereof shown partially in cross-sectional detail.
Similar reference characters denote corresponding features consistently thoughout the attached drawings.
Referring now to FIGS. 1 and 2, the assailant marker of the present invention can be seen from the drawing to include a pump spray bottle 12, and a deterrent fluid 14 disposed within said bottle. Bottle 12 further includes manually activated fluid dispensing means, generally designated 16, enabling discharge of deterrent fluid 14 by an individual for self-defense applications. These elements are generally known in the prior art and do not form a novel portion of the present invention.
Bottle 12 of the present invention assailant marker is formed of a rigid material, such as plastic, having a sufficiently thick wall 12a to prevent the collapse thereof when firmly grasped within the hand of the user. Bottle 12 has a threaded, circular opening 13 to which dispensing means 16 may be joined thereby forming a closure for said bottle. Bottle 12 may be provided with securement means, such as clip 12b or integral key chain retaining member 12c. Clip 12b, comprised in the preferred embodiment of sinuously shaped metal and having its long axis substantially parallel to the bottle wall 12a, permits the inventive device to be affixed to an article of clothing, a pocket or belt being two of several convenient attachment locations, and key chain retaining member 12c, comprising a vertically oriented tab extending from the bottom of bottle 12 and having a hole therein, permits the device to be conveniently attached to a key chain or key ring. Additionally, as retaining member 12c is molded from the same rigid material as bottle 12 and is elevated above the bottom of the bottle 12, it may be utilized as a weapon if the user determines that striking a bodily blow at an assailant is necessary. A hole 12d in integral clip mounting bracket 12e, having a flanged opening 12f for retaining clip 12b, provides an additional means for attaching the instant assailant marker to an object or support with a chain or lanyard of sufficient diameter supplied by the user.
Referring again to the figures, the manually activated fluid dispensing means 16 may be viewed. Such means for spraying liquids with small pumps are generally well known and are shown, for example, in U.S. Pat. Nos. 2,011,196 and 2,081,798. These patents are hereby incorporated by reference as disclosing pump mechanisms of a type which may be utilized within the instant assailant marker. It must be noted, however, that other similar pump mechanisms may be used with equal facility for the purposes expressed herein. Broadly, the numeral 18 indicates a cylinder joined to cap 20. The cap 20 is adapted to be secured to a neck of spray bottle 12 with cylinder 18 hanging downwardly within the bottle. The lower end of cylinder 18 is in the form of an inverted tapered cone 22 equipped with a vertical bore to receive flexible tube 24 which projects upwardly into cylinder 18 and has one end terminating in close proximity to the bottom of bottle 12. When bottle 12 is horizontally oriented, tube 24, supplied with a weight 24a at its lower end, is capable of being bent or flexed under the influence of gravity to reach spray bottle wall 12a. In this manner, the lower or intake end of tube 24 will always be submerged in deterrent fluid 14 thereby permitting the maximum efficiency of the device regardless of its orientation during use. A combined spray nozzle and piston 26 is mounted for reciprocation within cylinder 18. A check valve, not shown in the figures, operates within combined spray nozzle and piston 26 preventing fluid therein from returning to bottle 12. Combined spray nozzle and piston 26 is in the form of a sleeve 28 having a sliding fit with cylinder 18 and has joined thereto finger retaining loops 30. Retaining loops 30 are positioned 180 degrees opposite one another and are positioned upon opposing sides of combined spray nozzle and piston 26. Each of said loops 30 are adapted to comfortably receive one finger from the hand of the user.
Nozzle 32 is formed in uppermost portion of combined spray nozzle and piston 26 and communicates with the interior thereof. The port in the spray nozzle 32 is comparatively small so that during outward movement of the sleeve 28, sufficient suction will be developed therein to lift fluid 14 into said sleeve 28 from bottle 12. In the preferred embodiment of the invention, nozzle 32 is adapted to produce a fine mist or spray when delivering deterrent fluid 14 therefrom along an axis vertically oriented through the inventive marking device. This spray is capable of marking an assailant at a range of 3 to 6 feet (1 to 2 meters). The user of the inventive marker is thereby permitted to direct the fluid spray into the facial area or torso of the assailant simultaneously covering a wide area therewith. Since the device is designed to be utilized with the target within close range, deflection of the fluid spray by winds of moderate velocity have been found to be inconsequential in aiming the device and hitting the target. Nevertheless, it is envisioned that nozzle 32 may be adapted to deliver fluids in the form of a continuous and coherent stream. U.S. Pat. No. 4,728,037, for example, discloses nozzle port dimensions suitable for discharging such a stream.
In operation, deterrent fluid 14 is delivered by a reciprocated movement of the combined spray nozzle and piston 26. This action is initiated by first positioning two adjacent fingers of one hand into each of the two finger retaining loops 30. Next, with the flat lowermost portion of bottle 12 supported against the palm of the same hand, combined spray nozzle and piston 26 is reciprocated by the application of force to loops 30. During an outward movement of combined spray nozzle and piston 26 with respect to the cylinder 18, deterrent fluid within spray bottle 12 is drawn into sleeve 28 by way of flexible tube 24, the valve therein acting to prevent return of said fluid to bottle 12 so that on the inward movement of combined spray nozzle and piston 26, the fluid trapped therein will be forced outwardly by way of nozzle 32 in spray form.
The instant assailant marking device further includes a cover 34 which is removably mounted upon the nozzle and formed to prevent the inadvertent expulsion of deterrent fluid 14 while the device is being stored. Cover 34 is held upon combined spray nozzle and piston 26 by friction; however, a mated shoulder and rib combination may also be utilized to positively retain cover 34 upon combined nozzle and piston 26. As may be seen in FIGS. 1 and 2, cover 34 may be removed from combined nozzle and piston 26. To perform this action, the thumb of one hand of the user will engage the side of cover 34, pushing such forward, while the same hand grasps spray bottle 12.
An important characteristic of the instant assailant marker is the deterrent fluid's non-toxic but effective nature. The prior art discloses devices utilizing deterrent fluids which include a lachrymal agent, an odor agent, a dye, and sometimes a combination of one or more of these compounds. Such prior art fluids, however, have been discovered to lack effectiveness or be toxic. Additionally, it is believed that the addition of lachrymal or odor agents to the fluid may lead to an escalating encounter if improperly utilized against an assailant.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,728,037, however, describes a liquid deterrent mixture having food-grade dye compounds, among other agents, therein. Testing of fluid mixtures having the concentration of dye compounds disclosed by this particular patent reference has revealed that while a generally red color is obtained by the fluid mixture, when such is discharged upon a flesh-toned target the coloring agents are so dilute that their intended purpose is thwarted. The instant deterrent fluid has a much greater concentration of dyes--ranging from approximately 2 to 10 the amounts disclosed by the prior art.
The deterrent fluid mixture of the present invention includes only a food grade dye and necessary preservative agents. The dye consists of a mixture of Red Dye No. 3 and Red Dye No. 40. Under ordinary light, Red Dye No. 3 exhibits what may be described as a "rose red" color while Red Dye No. 40 exhibits a "blood red" hue. The advantage of utilizing a mixture of Red Dye No. 3 and Red Dye No. 40 has been documented. The resultant mixture has a color approximating the color of blood offering a psychological distraction to an assailant in addition to marking him for later detection. Red Dye Nos. 3 and 40 are safe and are numbered in accordance with well-known Food, Drug and Cosmetic standards.
Deterrent fluid mixture 14 is preferably formed with the following formulation:
______________________________________Agent Percent by Weight______________________________________Water 78.9-93.95Propylene Glycol 5-15FD & C Red No. 40 0.5-3FD & C Red No. 3 0.5-3Propyl Paraben 0.05-0.1______________________________________
The preservative most suitable for use in deterrent fluid mixture 14 is propyl paraben. Propyl paraben acts to prevent mold and bacterial growth within the fluid as such are capable of rapidly decaying the dye agents. Propylene glycol, on the other hand, has a similar preservative effect but has been added benefit in that it acts as a stabilizer to resist temperature extremes.
It is to be understood that the present invention is not limited to the sole embodiment described above, but encompasses any and all embodiments within the scope of the following claims.

Oral/Head and Neck Oncologic and Microvascular Reconstructive Surgery Fellowship
The Michigan Medicine Oral/Head and Neck Oncologic and Microvascular Reconstructive Surgery Fellowship began in 1998 under the direction of Dr. Joseph I. Helman as Director of Oral/Maxillofacial Head and Neck Oncologic Surgery. In 2003, Dr. Helman was joined by Brent B. Ward, D.D.S., M.D. In 2012 the program title was changed to the Oral/Head and Neck Oncologic and Microvascular Reconstructive Surgery Fellowship in conjunction with the development of the Maxillofacial Oncology and Reconstructive Surgery (MORS) Match program.
Fellowship Goals
The goal of the Oral/Head and Neck Oncologic Microvascular Reconstructive Surgery Fellowship program is to train oral and maxillofacial surgeons in the diagnosis, treatment, and long-term management of patients with benign and malignant lesions of the head and neck. In addition to learning techniques of ablation, reconstruction, and evaluation, the fellow participates in a variety of educational and multi-disciplinary conferences. These experiences occur within the department and with other Michigan Medicine departments including, but not limited to, Radiation Oncology, Medical Oncology, Surgical Pathology and Hospital Dentistry/Maxillofacial Prosthodontics. Microsurgical training is provided by Michigan Medicine Microsurgery Training Center, which is a part the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, as well as through operating room experience.
Fellowship Program Director
Dr. Brent Ward completed his dental degree at the University of Southern California School of Dentistry in 1996 and earned his medical degree in 2001 at the Michigan Medicine. He trained with Dr. Helman from 2001-2003 in a 2-year Head and Neck Oncology Fellowship and became the Michigan Medicine's Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery residency and Oncology Fellowship Program Director in 2003. In 2009, Dr. Ward passed the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery residency portion to Dr. Sean Edwards in order to maintain a stronger focus on the Head and Neck Oncology Fellowship and his research.
Fellowship Program Teaching Faculty
Dr. Joseph I. Helman first came to the Michigan Medicine, School of Dentistry and Section of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery from the Head and Neck Cancer Surgery Department in Technion University Medical Center in Haifa, Israel in 1994. He became Chair of the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery/Hospital Dentistry in 1998 and was bestowed the C.J. Lyons Endowed Professorship in 2002. Dr. Helman also holds a concurrent Professorship at the School of Medicine in Nanjing University, Shanghai, China.
Dr. Sean Edwards completed his dental school training at Dalhousie University, Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. He came to the Michigan Medicine as an OMS residency, completing his training in 2005. He then went on to complete a Pediatric Craniofacial Surgery Fellowship in 2006 at the University of Pittsburgh School of Dentistry and Medical Center, Children's Hospital. He then returned back to the Michigan Medicine to complete the Head and Neck Oncologic and Reconstructive Surgery Fellowship program in 2007. Dr. Edwards has been the OMS residency Program Director since 2009 and is also Chief of Pediatric Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery.
Fellowship Scope
The Oral/Head and Neck Oncologic and Microvascular Reconstructive Surgery Fellowship is one to two years depending on the fellow's previous experience and training acquired during his or her Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery residency program. Regardless of length, the Fellowship involves extensive operative experience in oral/head and neck microvascular patients. In addition, the fellow participates in preclinical training in microvascular surgery with Dr. Wen Zhang to accomplish a high level of proficiency. Common surgical cases are malignant excisions, major soft tissue excisions, jaw excisions, neck dissections and free and regional flaps. Other department rotations include radiation oncology, medical oncology and pathology.

IE Won't Load
Did you leave some details out about how to actually download the script? At least we should be getting some kind of error message. It's odd that Chrome would refuse to display a particular site; you don't say whether this is a specific address or whether it just happens at random.

Well, the other day I was interviewed on T-Squat – James Watkins said some pretty damn nice things about me that I feel pretty humbled by and slightly undeserving… but it was a great interview. It gave me a chance, for the first time, really, to put some of my ideas and thoughts out there through an objective viewpoint. Cool questions, thanks T-Squat.
So, I had mentioned the collaborations in the show, but didnt really go into a lot of detail (as when I did the interview it was a week or two back and everything was still being worked on).
Before my show tomorrow, I thought I'd just take a few minutes to talk about all the people that have helped me out with collaborations in the show. Anyways … a few weeks back, I sent off a message to a bunch of mates I've been painting with for the ReVurt project, and few other friends, asking if they'd be interested in doing some remixes of the original drawings and such – I figured a couple of them would be interested, but I was totally stoked when all of them said they'd do something. There were a heap of people I wanted to ask! In fact .. an entire collaborative show is something I think would be mad – an idea for the future.
So, this is a little on those who have pieces in the show – some of the most talented and passionate people I know …
Pierre Lloga – As far as illustrators go, Pierres work is what I picture when I conjure up that exact word. Comicesque, yet highly stylised and brilliantly realised, he's able to translate that from pen, to paint, to the wall, and anything in between.
ExRobot – one of our RR studio residents, his monochrome work is just starting to get out there, and there is a fair bit of interest as well with his works flying out the door over at Artboy Gallery. Definitely an artist to watch!
Mishke – I met Mishke at an exhibition some time back, and promptly coerced her into moving into our studios after I saw her work – and every one I see she just gets better and better. I love her illustrative style and I can't wait to see where she takes it – must get her back to painting on more walls!
Ed "Unwell Bunny" Bechervaise – he recently had a hugely cool exhibition at RTIST Gallery in Prahran, and has started getting back into painting walls after a small hiatus. Always helpful, completely passionate and just a generally great guy to be around.
E.L.K. – a more honest and humble man I couldn't meet, and there is a reason why E.L.K. is one of the best stencil artists in the world right now – because, simply, he is an absolute cutting fiend who can put together a stencil composition like no one else. E.L.K. moved down here from Canberra recently and has had some amazing shit start happening for him, and I'm totally stoked for him – he deserves great things for all the hard work he's put in to his art over the years.
Conrad Bizjak – whether its with a brush, or on a wall, the man has style, absolutely mad technique, and an amazingly vivid imagination. His technique makes me wish I was that damn good, and, having seen some of his recent oil painting work – damn.
Heesco – awesome as all fuck, Heesco is one of the coolest emerging talents in Australia today. So down to earth and a real inspiration to me – he's pushed me along and helped me out in going in a few different directions, always had kind words, and has always been there to help me out whenever I've needed it. Plus, he's just fun mate to hang out and get drunk with haha.
Phoenix The Street Artist – until I saw Phoenix's work, and met the man himself, I had, admittedly, never really thought all that much of collage work – but seeing the process he undergoes with it all, the philosophy behind it, the amount of work and preparation and planning – well, the man is a genius.
Nicole Tattersall – I <3 this girl. So helpful, and such a talented lady. Director of Curvy for Melbourne, and a phenomenally great artist. I'm always swapping crazy ideas and doing fun little collabs with Nicole, so I'm really glad we got to do something together for this!
Jianna Lucia – another RR resident, this gypsy women has some pretty unique style! We hang a bit and chat – well, when I'm not heads down and immersed in focus land haha, but she's great value, and a really cool artist. She recently did this video with Ollie Lucas for the Grolsch Grid show.
Jack Douglas – Jack stole my idea of buying one of those awesome bags for spraycans, and at some stage, I'll steal it off him. Besides that, he's a really really cool artist – his can technique rules as well, and he's a funny bastard to boot – I had fun working with him on a quick road sign that turned up …
Robbie Warden – helped me out with all the photography. He works for Big Dog in Prahran, and you can see him out and about taking a bundle of photos at all kinds of gigs, and just generally popping up here, there and everywhere. There is no way in hell I would be this happy with the work in the show without his photographic skills.
Carl Allison – I wanted to get some video done for the show, a first for me … and there was no doubt that I wanted Carl to do it. He's been killing it lately with his work, covering artists that are a part of my friends from Just Another Agency, as well as stuff over at RTIST Gallery, and everything in between. We got him to do our first webisode for Invurt, and, he did an awesome job with my preview.
There were others involved too – all the girls who modelled for me were amazing, as was Sammy Elise at the Body Canvas event. To all of them, the biggest of thankyou for being a part of my show in one way or another, and thanks for all the inspiration along the way – love your fucking work.

When the Centre for Equitable Library Access (CELA) was launched 3 years ago, it was an important step in better connecting public libraries with those in their community with print disabilities. While much of the national effort has been dedicated to the production of books in accessible digital formats, less attention has been given to improvements to, and barriers that remain on the path that those with print disabilities encounter to retrieve their material. CELA has invited several members of the community to demonstrate and discuss the everyday issues faced by those with print disabilities and provide advice on how public libraries can assist.
Better understanding of the tools that those with print disabilities use to borrow books in accessible formats
