Why We Still Fight Over Social Media and Content Marketing
A few years ago I wrote a piece on the commoditization of content (marketing) in a social jungle. Last year I took it a step further with what you could call a rant about the ' big content marketing fail '. I was pleasantly surprised to see that many people using content marketing (as I do) wrote similar posts taking a critical look at the evolutions in content marketing.

Content Marketing: What Content People Share And Why They Do It
Why do people share content? However, in trying to answering it, one can find a lot of value for his business and "target groups" in this social media and multi-channel marketing age where content plays an increasing role and content marketing is a hot topic. Content is an enormously broad concept that we use every day without really defining it. We talk about how it should be: how important relevant and share-worthy content, how crucial it is in lead nurturing, how it makes or breaks our email marketing programs and even how it has become a currency.

Relationships are based upon trust.
The Ripple Effect of Blogging: Inbound Marketing is Not Enough to Exist

'Students Come First' laptop rollout slips behind schedule; no vendor selected yet
The first round of more than 6,000 laptop computers, one for every high school teacher and administrator, was supposed to be out in Idaho's schools this month under the "Students Come First" school reform plan, but holdups in finding a suitable vendor have pushed that way back. After canceling a bidding process in June for lack of competitive bids, the state is now negotiating with up to a half-dozen potential providers of the computers, with hopes of picking one in the coming weeks and getting them out in the second semester.
At stake is an eight-year contract worth more than $100 million, under which the provider would supply and maintain laptops for every Idaho high school student, provide technical support, and set up and maintain wireless networks in the Idaho schools. "It's the whole ball of wax," said Idaho Division of Purchasing Director Bill Burns. "It's a pretty big contract."
The state has budgeted $2.56 million for the first round of laptops this year, an average of $391 apiece. But the bidder will set the price, and it's unclear what will happen if the bid comes in higher than that. Meanwhile, a clause in the contract will state that the whole thing goes away if voters repeal the program on Nov. 6; you can read my full story here at spokesman.com.

Women have lower stroke risk and mortality compared to age-matched men. While some of this protection appears to be mediated via ovarian estrogen, ovarian hormones do not account for all of the protective effects seen in females since female protection persists even after menopause when ovarian estrogen is lost. In post- menopausal women, the major source of estrogen becomes local (extra-gonadal) synthesis of estradiol by the enzyme aromatase. Aromatase is expressed in numerous cell types, including vascular endothelial cells (EC). In female mice, both aromatase gene deletion and pharmacological inhibition lead to worse outcome following cerebral ischemia, suggesting that aromatase plays a protective role. Therefore, the hypothesis to be tested is that females are protected from cerebrovascular dysfunction following cerebral ischemia compared to males due to higher expression and activity of endothelial-specific aromatase. In order to determine if there are sex differences in cerebrovascular endothelial dysfunction following cerebral ischemia in mice, responses to the endothelium-dependent vasodilator acetylcholine (ACh) will be compared in male and female mice before and after transient middle cerebral artery occlusion (tMCAO, 1h) or sham surgery using an in vivo cranial window preparation and optical microangiography imaging. To determine if sex differences in endothelium-dependent dilation after tMCAO are mediated by aromatase, ACh responses before and after tMCAO or sham surgery will be compared between wild-type and aromatase knockout mice of both sexes. Finally, to determine if there are sex differences in EC-specific aromatase expression and cerebrovascular aromatase activity, EC-specific aromatase mRNA and protein expression and cerebrovascular aromatase activity will be compared in cerebral vessels isolated from male and female mice at baseline or after tMCAO or sham surgery. Understanding EC specific regulation of aromatase may lead to therapeutic strategies aimed at enhancing local estradiol production specifically within endothelial cells, thus avoiding the negative side effects associated with global estrogen administration, but maintaining the protective effects of estrogen on the vasculature.
Aromatase inhibitors, which are in use clinically for the treatment of hormone positive breast cancer, have been linked to adverse cardiovascular effects. The proposed research will use a rodent model of stroke, the middle cerebral artery occlusion, to determine the protective effect of aromatase (the enzyme that produces estradiol) against endothelial dysfunction following cerebral ischemia, especially in females. Understanding endothelial cell specific regulation of aromatase may lead to therapeutic strategies for stroke aimed at enhancing local estradiol production specifically within endothelial cells, thus avoiding the negative side effects associated with global estrogen administration, but maintaining the protective effects of estrogen on the vasculature.

Bid to lure more flights
The Tasmanian Government is to step up lobbying of airlines to schedule more flights in and out of the state.
It is establishing a group of tourism and industry stakeholders aimed at improving flight availability and sea travel on the TT-Line.
Tourism Minister Scott Bacon says recent events have shown how tenuous access can be.
"The ash cloud and also the Qantas industrial action that highlighted how important access is to Tasmania, not just for our tourism industry but for our broader economy as well."
"What this really is about is working with the industry, the tourism industry and the business community, to make sure that we can grow access in a sustainable way."
Luke Martin from the Tourism Industry Council has welcomed the move, saying it shows the Government sees the issue as a priority.
The key thing is that we've got to do in this state is to go to the airlines, who are businesses, and present as compelling case as we can as a destination for the airlines to put additional services into the state."

Managers Unsatisfied With Third-Party Enterprise Tools
A survey finds 9 out of 10 managers, regardless of company size or team function, spend time on administrative tasks outside their core job function.Managers in corporate environments spend nearly two days a week on unnecessary day-to-day administrative tasks that are not core to their jobs, according to a survey of nearly 1,000 managers in the United States and the United Kingdom by enterprise cloud specialist ServiceNow. The survey found nine out of 10 managers, regardless of company size or team function, spend time on administrative tasks outside their core job function, such as providing status updates, filling out forms, requesting support and updating spreadsheets. "The legacy systems that run the day-to-day work at most organizations are email, spreadsheets and other personal productivity tools that came into vogue back in the late '80s and early '90s," Chris Pope, ServiceNow's strategy leader, told eWEEK. "They exist on our desktops and have been carrying the weight of doing work because they are easy to access and comfortable. However, email was never intended to run a company's business processes. It is a communication vehicle that has been bastardized to fill a gap that exists in the systems permeated throughout the enterprise." Pope said organizations could easily streamline and automate their internal business services today.
"At its core, a service is defined as a transaction between a requester and a provider. Every department across the enterprise has its own set of services that can be automated to improve the service experience for both requesters and providers," he said. "Customers use service management to define, structure and automate those services, removing inefficient, manual processes, such as using emails and phone calls to get something done, or spreadsheets to track progress."

France is one of the world's five leading economies, as measured by GDP, a position that it owes in particular to its strength in a number of knowledge-intensive sectors. Yet today, six years after the onset of the economic crisis, French growth remains weak – 0.4% this year, and at best 1% in 2015, according to the latest OECD projections.
Mr. Angel Gurría, Secretary-General of the OECD, will be in Beijing, from 20 to 22 October 2014 to attend the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Finance Ministers Meetings.
The OECD has updated its key textbook explaining how economic activity is monitored and measured.
This second edition of Understanding National Accounts, that provides a comprehensive explanation of how national accounts are compiled, contains new data and new chapters, and is adapted to the new systems of national accounts, SNA 2008 and ESA 2010, that came into effect in September 2014. It approaches national accounts from a truly global perspective, with special chapters dedicated to international comparisons, globalisation and well-being as well as to the national systems used in major OECD economies, such as the United States.
Each chapter of the manual uses practical examples to explain key concepts in national accounts in a clear and accessible way. And, each chapter concludes with a synthesis of key points covered in the chapter, followed by resources for further exploring the topic, and by a set of exercises to test your knowledge. It is an ideal guide to national accounts for students and other interested readers.
The President of the French Republic, Mr. François Hollande, met the Heads of five international economic organisations at the OECD on Friday 17th October to discuss the challenges facing the global economy.
Full implementation of the structural reforms adopted and announced in France would boost potential annual economic growth by one third, or 0.4 percentage points per year over ten years, according to the OECD.
This paper investigates whether OECD countries are facing secular stagnation. Secular stagnation is defined as a situation when policy interest rates bounded at zero fail to stimulate demand sufficiently, due to low or negative neutral real interest rates and low inflation, and when ensuing prolonged and subdued growth undermines potential growth via labour hysteresis and discouraged investment.
This paper describes developments in real long-term interest rates in the main OECD economies and surveys their various determinants. Real long-term government bond yields declined from the 1980s to very low levels in the recent period, though they have not reached the historical lows of the 1970s.
The downturn in fixed investment among advanced economies from the onset of the global crisis was unusually severe, widespread and long-lasting relative to comparable episodes in the past. As a result, investment gaps are large in many countries, not only in relation to past norms but also relative to projected future steady-state levels, with a gap of 2 percentage points of GDP or more in several countries.
Six years into the crisis and a robust recovery is still distant. The global economy is continuing to expand at a moderate and uneven pace. International trade, global investment and credit are still hesitant. The threat of so-called 'secular stagnation' remains high, especially in Europe.

Acid etched satin glass with amber cased and cutback Greek Key design and rim design(like elongated egg and dart) on the underplate or tray. Very heavy and solid....with just a small chip on the vase as shown. Shows appropriate use/shelf wear to base for being about 100 years old. The underplate measures 15 1/4" with the vase or bowl being a substantial 8 3/8". We believe this is Pairpoint/Mt Washington as very similar patterns can be found on shades and similar production in the 1880s-90s.

Comment: There are plenty of books about war told from an adult perspective but not
nearly so many from the viewpoint of children, and fewer still that are written
for adult readers from a child's point of view.
Set in Germany, France and North Africa just before and during World War II, we see the war through the eyes of a young Jewish girl and a boy who struggles with his place in the Hitler Youth. Ilse is the 13 year old daughter of a Jewish father and Christian mother, both Germans. When war breaks out she's sent away by her mother to live with her uncle Willy in Morocco, who becomes more of a father to her than her own father has ever been. However, when Germany invades France, Willy rejoins the French Foreign Legion and Ilse is sent to Paris to live with her father who, as a vocal but somewhat ineffectual Bolshevik, ...

As part of the most decisive change yet from the party's traditional 'tax and spend' approach, Gordon Brown, the Shadow Chancellor, is expected to propose that existing tax and regional incentives to industry be used to reward employers committed to training a highly skilled workforce.
The move follows a recent meeting with the Tribune group of MPsat which Mr Brown floated the idea of doubling or trebling the training levy on business proposed in the party's 1992 election manifesto. The proposal was for 0.5 per cent of payroll costs to be levied from companies not providing satisfactory training.
In a departure from the historic trend of Labour policy, the money would be transferred directly to individual employees, to 'buy' their own training, rather than going to training quangos.
Mr Brown will hint at the methods by which a Labour government could mount a policy of industrial intervention without using public money. One notion is for the system of 'planning gain' - under which local authorities grant planning permission to developers if they also provide communal services such as roads or recreation facilities - to be extended to regional level.
One possibility is for permission for development to be granted in one region if the company agreed to build new plant in more deprived parts of the country.
Mr Brown will appeal to consumers in a series of policy speeches next month, laying emphasis on 'trust-busting' of monopolies and cartels, regulation of the banks and financial interests. He will also advocate 'green taxes' as an alternative to levying income tax from the middle and lower income groups. He has already dropped Labour's pre-election proposals for tax on lower income groups.
Other plans include proposals for G7 to discuss global exchange rate stability and for international controls on currency speculation. This week Chris Smith, the party's environment spokesman, will publish a self-financing 'green' plan to insulate and double-glaze every home in the country, creating 50,000 jobs.
This would be funded by allowing gas and electricity companies to levy a higher charge. Labour says the average family would save pounds 150 a year in energy bills. The party says that only 20 per cent of the 20 million homes in Britain are properly insulated.
Mr Smith said: 'It is a no-lose scheme, good for households, good for the environment and good for the utilities. If the Government does not take it up and run with it, it is even more stupid than I think it is already.'
Labour sources are defensive about suggestions that they are considering a switch from income tax to VAT and continued to insist yesterday that the only shift from direct to indirect tax actively being considered was the greater use of 'green' taxes, including taxes on polluting companies.

The College of Liberal Arts is the largest community on campus with more than 600 faculty members and more than 11,000 students. While our large size allows the college to offer a wide variety of programs and academic opportunities, it also creates the challenge of how best to communicate all the college has to offer to students and their families. To address this need, Dean Randy Diehl created the College of Liberal Arts Parents' League.
The purpose of the Parents' League is to engage parents in the life of the college, while communicating undergraduate opportunities available to their children and providing guidance for life after the Forty Acres. Members will also provide input on the college's communication efforts with parents, receive information on volunteer opportunities and attend special League events. If you have questions about Parents' League, please contact us.

picture really doesn't do this pink seedling justice. It has an iridescent
shell pink tint on the falls, deeper in the standards. This blossom was
six inches across. I went out this evening to try to get a better
picture, and it was gone, riddled by a bird. It is Elegant Girl X
Happenstance. It was my choice from about 50 that bloomed from that cross,
and I lined it out last fall. I will have several more stalks which may
feed the birds. They seem to have become resistant to the bird repellant
I have been putting on everything.

Rated 4 / 5 stars
Cute game. I liked the story and writing. A few bugs though. On firefox, it was fine the first time I played, but when I loaded it up a second time it was unplayably slow, and you had to wait a really long time while exploring. Even the fade when you encounter an enemy is slowed. It was fine in Chrome. Also, some enemies sometimes wouldn't die in the later part of the game (their health would go to zero, but they'd keep fighting, and I would have to run away).
I also found it to be a bit unbalanced - it was much easier to play as the esper class than any other class.
Rated 3.5 / 5 stars
so what do I do after the mob becomes easy to kill and wanderer become easy to kill...?
Seems to happen at lvl 7.
Go on to the next area? Enter the pit room? Fight the boss? Discover the other 75% of the game?
Rated 5 / 5 stars
This game is Fun and Very easy to learn. I love the quotes and random things. But what i laughed about was the bat enemy. For those who dont get it. the bat seems very aggravating while in a cave. Zubat, From pokemon, is JUST LIKE THAT
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Would love to take this on the go with me, i DEMAND a mobile app for android...please?
You can load it up on Android and just leave it be, but until someone figures a way to run AS2 as an app, sorry :/

A Much Needed Violin Chin Rest Solution
So, what is wrong with your violin chin rest?
Well, to start with, a violin chin rest is carved from hard wood, usually ebony, one of nature's hardest. The contact between this hard chin rest surface and our vulnerable face, chin, and neck has caused generations of violinists, from beginners to professionals, to endure skin irritations, bruises, and red spots. Often called a violin hickey, or rose patch, these bruises are more than just unsightly; they can be quite painful and typically result in a reduction in practice time, at the very least. Worse yet, if your chin rest is gouging into your face, the tension that results can easily migrate to your hand and fingers, especially in the left hand, and can even cause back and shoulder pain, which can affect your bowing arm. So, having a comfortable instrument is crucial for mastering basic techniques like playing in tune, vibrato, and even bowing.
Professional Appearance
Look closely at the 2 photos above or you might miss the GelRest attached to the 2 chin rests. That's because we make GelRests in 8 different shapes, each one designed to fit a variety of violin or viola chinrests. Note: viola chin rests are often exactly like violin chinrests. To find one that fits YOUR chinrest, go to the Chinrest Fit Guide 2016. Print, Cut, and Place the cut-outs on your chinrest to determine which one is the best fit.
Fits in Your Case
A GelRest is easy to install — just peel and stick. And, unlike a shoulder rest, a GelRest does not have to be removed each time you put the instrument back in its case. Just set it and forget it!

Wellington! You have been good to me, Thank you! I am leaving to go back to the US in 10 days and decided to start my goodbye post to you now. This way, I will have time to add memories that I have forgotten but your thank letter will not go undone in the chaos of packing up!
Your buses took me to all the places I needed to go. You gave me a little bit of exercise but not too much to be painful. You have mountains and beaches within ten minutes!
You provided me with interesting, often independently owned businesses to visit and fascinating items to look at, such as placenta facial cream. It's fun to learn about new products in different parts of the world!
You have giant table with bench seating that can even accommodate complete strangers (who wind up being Fulbright alums) joining you at a moment's notice. Your wait staff and manager do everything possible to make sure the customer has things the way they need them. But truly you need to do something with your tacky overpriced dessert menu--especially those tiny apple wonton things for about ten bucks guaranteed to leave someone poor and starving. Still though you get credit for offering to customize your soups, juices, and other foods and you have lots of personality the way you write the order on the placemat. Some of my fondest memories have been made in your place, so thank you!

Protecting the Innocent
FBI Intelligence Analyst Jamie Konstas has made major inroads fighting child sex trafficking in the United States by helping build, manage and utilize a groundbreaking national online database that allows federal, state and local law enforcement officials to access detailed information about pimps and child victims.
Konstas' innovative national database helps authorities identify child victims of prostitution, collect and track intelligence regarding suspected pimps, and build investigations. Her work has led to the recovery of more than 1,000 child victims and the successful prosecutions of more than 500 pimps and predators.
Prior to the advent of the database, which now has some 22,000 records, local law enforcement authorities had few resources to help them track down exploited children or share information, especially when these children were taken across state lines.

YPSILANTI — U.S. military veterans will be able to attend Eastern Michigan University at resident tuition rates under a new award called Vet Connect.
The board approved the award at its regular meeting Tuesday, Oct. 20.
"By establishing the EMU Vet Connect Award, Eastern Michigan University continues its strong commitment to welcome veterans to our campus and support them in getting their degrees," said Bernie Lindke, vice president for student affairs and enrollment management.
"This award is a fantastic way to honor our veterans and another example of EMU's commitment to being a veteran friendly campus," said Shaftone Dunklin, director of veteran services at EMU. "It is great that our university officials recognize that our veterans serve and defend our country and not individual states."
The grant, which excludes reserve programs, will be based on 24 credit hours per year of the difference between in-state and out-of-state tuition. Awards will be made to non-resident veterans who have been honorably discharged or medically separated from service with at least one year of service.
In 2008, EMU began providing in-state tuition provisions for active duty members of the U.S. armed forces. EMU was recently named one of the country's top "military friendly" schools by G.I. Jobs Magazine.

text: Clever Tree Frogs Shout For Sex By Using Storm Drains As MegaphonesJason G. Goldman6/06/14 8:30amFiled to: sexmatingtree frogsamphibianscitiesanimal behavioranimals268EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink Human males try all kinds of things to seduce females. Some show off their fancy cars, some learn to play the guitar, some drive big trucks. The male Mientien tree frog scoffs at our puny human tricks. All it needs is a nice storm drain. Advertisement Like many frogs, the male Mientien tree frog (Kurixalus idiootocus), a native of Taiwan, advertises his availability for breeding by emitting a mating call. The females listen to the calls, evaluate them, choose their preferred mating partner, and then it's game on – froggy style.The problem is that in a noisy forest, it's sometimes hard to pick out a meaningful sound from all the racket. As a result, many frogs have learned to take advantage of features in their environment that can artificially boost their calls, perhaps making them sound louder or deeper-pitched. Tree-hole frogs, for example, use their tree holes as a sort of microphone, taking advantage of the resonance effects of the hollowed out chamber to project their calls over greater distances. Advertisement While frogs evolved to capitalize on things like tree holes, human-made structures are relatively new. Concrete walls, asphalt roads, telephone poles, and all the other trappings of human material culture have changed the acoustic environment in which animals now find themselves. Those animals have a choice: they can either adapt to their new sonic environment, or they can abandon their older methods for communication and find new ones.In Taiwan, the Mientien tree frog has had to contend with open concrete storm drains, or what National Taiwan University researcher Yu-Teh Kirk Lin and colleagues have called "miniature urban canyons." They're commonly found in suburan and rural areas alongside paved roads and foot trails. Lots of frogs live in the drains, sometimes reproducing there as well, and some animals use them as movement corridors. "The impervious parallel concrete walls allow sounds to ricochet and linger, and can alter sound characteristics due to reverberation," they say. That can mean one of two things for animal calls: they can become degraded, due to the effect of the echo, since receivers would hear not just the initial signal but also the reflected ones, or they can become strengthened. In particular, narrow low frequency sounds can benefit from an echo, since the reflection can increase the amplitude and length of the sound waves. Sponsored The researchers discovered that calls from within the drains sounded louder and longer than calls made outside of drains. The researchers suspected, but could not verify, that storm drain-enhanced calls were more attractive to females. Previous studies have indicated that female frogs preferred longer calls, so it's a reasonable assumption to make.What's unique about this particular frog species is that the males' mating calls have a relatively high frequency (2-3 kHz). High frequency calls are especially vulnerable to degradation because of obstacles in the environment. So high frequency callers, like the Mienetien tree frogs, suffer a trade-off: they can either call towards a particular direction for a distant receiver, or they can call in all directions but only reach receivers who are close. Advertisement Advertisement The frogs have learned to overcome that limitation by calling from within storm drains, since the drains enhance both volume and duration, allowing the frogs' calls to reach receivers both nearby and farther away. "Concrete drains are miniature canyons, but are not analogous to anything in Mientien tree frog natural habitats," the researchers say. "Therefore, it is interesting to find those frogs preferentially calling in the drains." The frogs have taken the human built environment and turned it into a tool, rather than an obstacle to overcome, allowing their species to survive an environment dominated by our species.[Journal of Zoology] Advertisement Header image: LiChieh Pan/FlickrReply26 repliesLeave a reply

Jury convicts on one of three child sex abuse charges
WENATCHEE — A Chelan man was convicted at trial Monday of first-degree child molestation, but acquitted of related child sex charges.
The jury returned its verdicts against James C. Austin, 34, after about three hours of deliberation. Austin was charged with molesting a preteen about five times between September 2012 and late January.
Chelan County sheriff's deputies arrested Austin Jan. 24 after the victim reported the abuse to family members. He entered a not-guilty plea at arraignment; his trial opened…

Best part of the Scarlet Briar arc was Clockwork Chaos, which was the main villain's reveal. Also, the Release Page was vandalized the week before its release, which added that mystery.

All the gem store sales.
//Sarcasm off
My Favorite aspect of LS1 was Scarlet her self, her madness and brilliance together, was to me, a very likeable character, Determined to achieve her goals she would everything needed to get to it. *We all liked her even when she destroyed Lions Arch" she kinda has that effect on the player ^^
My Favorite Experience was the Marionette Fight, the best boss fight i had in GW2 soo far and of course the last cinematic after stomping Scarlet, Her Face in the cinematic is priceless, resumes all that Scarlet is in a single picture, i was speechless and the goosebumps, i had THAT huge smile on my face and then O.O something awoke.
Need shirt bad!

Finally extracted the wisdom tooth that has been bothering me for a loooong time.
Today is Day 2 and my face is even more swollen than yesterday. Is this normal? Should I worry??? My gosh I have got so much work I cannot afford to waste another day sleeping in cus of the discomfort! :(
Anyway, my experience wasn't exactly great. Dentist couldn't be bothered to calm me down. :'( felt so abused! Thankfully he recommended to remove my wisdom teeth one by one. I have to remove all 4! Cannot imagine if he pulled 2 out at a go ytd...I would've died! The dentist was terrible...did not even tell my the Dos and Donts. Didn't tell me what I could eat and what I couldn't. I had to google everything! :/
I am thinking of going under GA to pull out the remaining 3! Anyone did it under GA too? Must be hell expensive right, care to share how much?
Oh and I paid $800 to remove that one tooth. Gave me a shock...had no idea tooth extraction was so darn expensive. :O
Thankful for the Internet, http://m.wikihow.com/Recover-after-Wisdom-Teeth-Surgery sharing it so u can read it in case you're gonna remove your teeth and is faced with a horrible doctor like mine.

Book DescriptionTexts record the meanings we make: in words, pictures and deeds, and politics chronicles our uses of power in shaping social relationships large and small. Textual politics is about meaning - the meaning we make with words and with the symbolic values of every object and action.; The book begins with an introduction which discusses the relationship between Discourse And The Notions Of Power And Ideology. These Concepts Are Then applied to major issues: the social construction of class, gender and individuality; the rhetoric of polarizing social controversies religious fundamentalism vs. gay rights; and the abuse of technical language in policy arguments educational research vs. conservative politics. The book ends with chapters which extend the theory to processes of large- scale social change and apply it to the challenges facing education and political action in the new global information century.

Effective treatment of craniofacial pain requires knowledge of the relationships between neural structures, neurotransmitters and receptors that may be therapeutic targets. The physiological basis for these relationships is grounded in the anatomical arrangements between primary afferents, descending projections, interneurons, and efferent projection neurons in the trigeminal dorsal horn. The long-term goal of this work is to understand the anatomical relationship between neuronal elements that mediate or modulate nociception in the trigeminal dorsal horn. The proposed studies use corneal afferents as a nociceptive marker and will examine the relationships between these afferents and other neurons, including interneurons, projection neurons, and descending inputs, in the trigeminal dorsal horn. Studies in Aim 1 will determine if corneal afferents target inhibitory interneurons, trigeminothalamic or trigeminopontine projection neurons;thus defining the basic connectivity of these afferents. Corneal afferents project to two distinct regions of trigeminal dorsal horn, and these regions are thought to mediate functionally distinct components of corneal nociception. Preliminary data demonstrate that the neurotransmitter and transporter content of corneal afferent projections to these two regions are distinct.
In Aim 2, differences in the expression of neuronal markers will be examined in corneal afferents, including various putative sensory transduction molecules. Additional studies will determine if select populations of corneal afferents target specific populations of target neurons defined in Aim 1.
In Aim 3, the targets of descending medullary projections will be examined to determine if these neurons converge on similar neurons with corneal afferents. Together these studies will provide a more specific understanding of the anatomical relationships between corneal afferents and descending afferent projections, inhibitory interneurons and efferent projection neurons within the trigeminal dorsal horn. These results will provide information about the anatomical substrates for ocular pain and potential mechanisms for both neuronal plasticity and therapeutic targets in the trigeminal dorsal horn.
Orofacial pain represents a significant public health concern, afflicting more than 10% of adults, and 50% of elderly adults. Pain arising from corneal injury is on the rise due to the increased number of Americans undergoing refractive eye surgery, including PRK and LASIK (Belmonte, 2004, 2007). Other sources of ocular pain include dry eye, uveitis, and contact lens use. The studies in this proposal are designed to understand the neural pathways involved in transmitting pain from the cornea to the brain.
