The effect of surface treatment of silicone hydrogel contact lenses on the attachment of Acanthamoeba castellanii trophozoites
Beattie, Tara K. and Tomlinson, Alan (2009) The effect of surface treatment of silicone hydrogel contact lenses on the attachment of Acanthamoeba castellanii trophozoites. Eye and Contact Lens, 35 (6). pp. 316-319. ISSN 1542-2321

Aims to determine if plasma surface treatment of Focus Night & Day silicone hydrogel contact lenses affects the attachment of Acanthamoeba. Unworn lotrafilcon A contact lenses with (Focus Night & Day) and with out surface treatment and Acuvue, conventional hydrogel lenses were quartered prior to 90 minutes incubation with Acanthamoeba castellanii trophozoites. After incubation and rinsing the trophozoites attached to one surface of each quarter were counted by direct light microscopy. Sixteen replicates were observed for each lens type. Logarithmic transformation of data allowed the use of parametric ANOVA. No significant difference in attachment was established between the untreated lotrafilcon A lens and the conventional hydrogel (p<0.001), however surface treatment of the native Focus Night & Day material produced a significant increase in attachment (p<0.001). Commercially available Focus Night & Day lenses are subjected to a plasma surface treatment to reduce lens hydrophobicity, however this procedure results in enhanced Acanthamoebal attachment. It is possible that the silicone hydrogel lens could be at greater risk of be promoting Acanthamoeba infection if exposed to the organism, due to the enhanced attachment characteristic of this material. Eye care professionals should be aware of the enhanced affinity Acanthamoeba show for this lens, and accordingly emphasise to patients the significance of appropriate lens hygiene. This is particularly important where lenses are worn in a regime which could increase the chance of exposure to the organism, i.e. 6 night/7 day extended wear or daily wear where lenses will be stored in a lens case, or where lenses are worn when in contact with potentially contaminated water sources, i.e. swimming or shower.

Adrian Hanauer first kept the flame of professional soccer alive in Seattle before helping to reignite the community's passion for the game with the arrival of a Major League Soccer expansion franchise in 2009.
Owner of Seattle Sounders FC, Hanauer also served as the club's General Manager prior to the appointment of Garth Lagerwey in January of 2015, leading the organization to extraordinary success during its first six years of MLS history. During that span, Sounders FC claimed one Supporters' Shield and four Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cups, while simultaneously setting the seven-highest single-season attendance totals in North American soccer history.
In 2015, Sounders FC averaged 44,247 fans per home match at CenturyLink Field, result- ing in the second-highest average attendance in the Americas.
Under Hanauer, Sounders FC became just the third team in the 99-year history of the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup to win three consecutive champi- onships (2009, 2010, 2011), and just the second to qualify for four consecutive finals (2009, 2010, 2011, 2012). This success helped Hanauer be retained as the team's General Manager in the first-ever fan vote in American professional sports history. A total of 13,755 votes were submitted dur- ing the two-month window and he received 96.3- percent of the votes for retention. Hanauer was also honored as the 2012 Executive of the Year at the 78th MTR Western Sports Star of the Year Awards, given to an individual for contributions to the success of the regional sports industry.
Hanauer has not only guided Seattle to success on the field, but he is largely responsible for the club's off-the-field achievements as well. Sounders FC topped its own year-over-year MLS attendance record for five consecutive seasons, averaging 44,038 in 2013, over 20,000 more than the next- closest team. Seattle hosted the second-largest crowd for a standalone MLS match when 67,385 packed CenturyLink Field for a Cascadia Cup game against Portland that same year, with the club registering even higher marks in
2015. Sounders FC's active sellout streak of 127 matches is the longest streak of its kind in MLS history, and the club's 2015 average attendance mark of 44,247 was good for second-best total in the Americas, trailing only Mexican side Monterrey.
Since 2001, Hanauer has been associated with the highest level of soccer played in Seattle. He first joined the ownership group of the Sounders fran- chise in the United Soccer League's First Division, and later became Majority Shareholder and General Manager. His first season in that role, 2002, was rewarded with Seattle going 23-4-1 — the second-best record in league history. From 2004- 2007, the Sounders played in the USL-1 championship game three times, winning twice (2005, 2007) and also taking a Commissioner's Cup (best record) in 2007.
Hanauer has more than 20 years of business experience in a variety of other industries. On numerous occasions he has made early stage invest- ments in technology compa- nies with interests in advertis- ing, infrastructure and wireless communications. Hanauer co- founded Curious Office Partners, which invests in and incubates early- stage technology companies. He was a seed stage investor in aQuantive Inc., the largest interactive advertising company which was later acquired by Microsoft for $6 billion U.S., and he was also an early investor in Amazon.com.
Hanauer brings a great deal of brick-and-mortar business experience to Sounders FC. The Hanauer family owns Pacific Coast Feather Co., one of the nation's largest manufacturer of pillows, comforters, and bedding products. He also owns one of the largest chains of picture-framing companies in the United States.
An active and engaged member of the greater Seattle community, Hanauer spearheads the RAVE Foundation, a non-profit organization working to build small and innovative soccer fields dedicated for free play in neighborhoods throughout the city. Additionally, Hanauer is set to serve as the Honorary Chair for Washington Youth Soccer's 50th anniversary celebration in September of 2016.
Hanauer's interest in soccer began at the age of three, and he saw his first NASL Sounders game at the age of eight. He went on to play for Mercer Island High School and remains active in the Greater Seattle Soccer League.
In addition to his interest in Sounders FC, Hanauer is one of the largest shareholders of England's Cambridge United Football Club, currently playing in England's League Two (fourth tier). While with the USL Sounders, Hanauer promoted internation- al matches, most notably an exhibition between Real Madrid and D.C. United that attracted a then- record Seattle crowd of 66,612 to CenturyLink Field in 2006. Hanauer attended the University of Washington.

I believe overall my nose is too large for my face and it begins with the radix. Can I achieve a small ski slope nose? (photos)
My nose is long, overly projected from the face and my nostrils are larger than I would like. Is it possible to achieve a much shorter smaller nose with a ski slope shape and how?
Doctor Answers 6
The dorsal hump is composed of both bone and cartilage must be shaved down to remove it. Osteotomies of the nasal bones are then required to narrow the bridge line and close the open roof deformity created from the hump removal. 2 narrow wide nostrils, and alar platy is performed whereby a small wedge of skin was removed at the base of the nostrils.
Web reference: http://www.seattlefacial.com/photogallery/rhinoplasty_photos24.html
I may change my recommendations after seeing a full set of nasal pictures as described on my website; however with these two limited views that you submitted I'm suggesting that removal of your small hump will provide a better result.
The pictures you submitted show your nose to be proportionate and does not require any surgery other than filing a very slight bump on your nose. I need to see the other views to see if others things are indicated.

You can achieve a shorter, smaller nose by removing some of the caudal septum and/or elevating the tip and and deprojecting the tip. It is a bit difficult to determine from the photos what I would recommend to improve overall balance.

Your photo does not show your entire face so it is difficult to make conclusive comments about the size of your nose relative to your face. With that said I will give it a try. Some rhinoplasties aim to decrease the size of a nose. So with that in mind your nose can be made to look smaller. Keep in mind that just "smaller" is not the goal, but balanced with your face - that is what is really important. You have small hump and the take off of your nose is a little low (ie towards your feet). There are other things that can be addressed, but as this is complex process, it is best to see someone in person.
Hi, yes I believe your goals are realistic. I would need to see more photos, but your appear to actually have a near normal "take-off" at the radix (or even a little low, I can't see your eyelashes, so I can't say), a small bump which you can fix, and your tip needs to be set back or refined ever so slightly. Your skin does not appear too thick. I would put you in an excellent category for a rhinoplasty. Be most careful to pick a qualified surgeon in your area who is board certified in plastic surgery or facial plastic surgery.
Good luck, "Dr. Joe"

The Food Industry Impact of Chipotle's "Scarecrow" Ad
Last week the best food commercial in years was released. It didn't mention the name of the company it advertises and it is unlikely to appear on television.
But Chipotle's "The Scarecrow" ad and its accompanying iPad/iPhone game are a big budget shot at major fast food brands and traditional television advertising in general. The three-minute video depicts a scarecrow as he goes about his day, working as a maintenance man behind the scenes at an industrial farm.
Set to an eerie cover of "Pure Imagination" (from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory), sung by Fiona Apple, the viewer sees the scarecrow reveal the secrets of the factory where he works. Unlike the magical land of candy discovered by children in Wonka, the scarecrow is horrified by the bloated chickens and conveyor belt cows he sees tucked away from public view and (spoiler alert) decides to make his own product using fresh ingredients.
The message is not particularly subtle: McDonald's and company don't want you to know how poorly the animals used in their products are treated, but Chipotle's an open book.
Chipotle has managed to fuel its long-term growth with almost no advertising on television. Instead, it favors occasional online releases of short film-style animations that - while making almost no mention of the brand itself - push it as the non-factory alternative to big fast food.
Last year's iteration, "Back to the Start" - a stop-action short which featured Willie Nelson covering the Coldplay song "The Scientist" - took viewers on one farmer's journey from running a small farm to a huge industrial operation and back again. It ran only briefly on living room screens, instead relying on viral word-of-mouth and the occasional movie theater screen. The commercial won the Cannes Film Festival's first ever Grand Prix for branded content.
This year, "The Scarecrow" has caused a similar stir. In its first six days on YouTube, it has racked up over five million views, and the company has more non-traditional attacks on big fast food coming.
Earlier this year, Chipotle announced a four episode TV show-length comedy miniseries called Farmed and Dangerous, about "a group of likeable but misguided people whose job it is to spin the negative aspects of industrial farming in a positive way," according to Mark Crumpacker, the company's chief marketing officer.
It's a campaign meant to elevate the brand above its bigger, less animal-friendly, competitors. But as Chipotle further intertwines its corporate image with the promise of a moral high ground, it has to expect scrutiny from its customers, who will demand that it lives up to that promise.
That may be a lesson already-learned for Chipotle, which for years drew criticism for declining to join the Fair Food Program, for which companies commit to purchase tomatoes grown only on farms with a minimum wage and basic working conditions. The sight of farm workers picketing Chipotle's headquarters and Union Square location last year, advertising the fact that fast food behemoths McDonald's and Taco Bell had joined the program years prior, was a major source of embarrassment for the company.
Chipotle quelled the commotion by signing on, but the protests were a reminder to the company that its corporate practices are under a microscope of its own artful crafting.


text: I highly recommend The Aluminum Company. Danny Newman came to my house and gave me several options/ideas and related costs to help me make a decision for a new picture window (where there was a wall). The installation crew members were professional, courteous, and respectful of my home. Their work was top notch. The new window looks like it was originally built with the house. I am very pleased with the results and will definitely use the Aluminum Company for my next project. - Dec 01, 2012 in Durham, NC

No, that's the magic of it - you can recover back to a "working" system by reflashing. The system (like all PS3's) has a backup CoreOS, so if one fails to boot, it will boot the other. Of course, on a normal system, the boot will still fail, but on a service mode box, there is enough to trigger the "service mode" stuff, and then you can get the box up and running again.
04-24-2010 #17nipsen Guest
So, in other words - we all agree now that Geohot's hack didn't give us something useful. And that you need to write your own firmware from scratch, for unidentified interfaces and functions, as well as overcome the encryption - in order to actually create a custom firmware that boots on retail boxes.
In the same way: removing otherOS was useless, does nothing whatsoever to stop "hacking", and improves security by exactly nothing.
Seriously... I wonder how much money Sony spent on getting this fix in. Most likely it just served as a good opportunity to pull the plug on the linux project and contacts, now that the game-OS is more or less complete as far as functions. Sony HQ are fools.
04-25-2010 #18Preceptor Guest
Nope mate, CJPC's retail to debug conversion project had nothing to do with Geohot's hack. They managed to get a working service mode retail ps3 so they could experiment a little.
So CJPC forced it to install a debug firmware, it did but due to another system check it halts during boot. So we need to find a way to block that second check or something or else we can kiss the project goodbye.
04-25-2010 #19laggmaster Guest
ummm i wouldn't say that removing otheros was useless to them... it took our way of "trying" to dump a complete GameOs dump making the system slightly more secure... but there is always a possibility that the system can be hacked... i'm actualy surprised that a major exploit hasn't been found through one of the very buggy games that has been released for the ps3. l
ike you said this was just there excuse to pull the linux program that people have sunk somtimes thousands of dollars to programs for the Cell/B.E. and spent all that time getting it working correctly on there ps3s... but they have kinda coverd their butts on that one because they released a blade server with almost the same hardware just a few little differences and RSX drivers were supplied...
04-25-2010 #20zeruth Guest
This is the path I would like to see succeed the most. I'm just throwing ideas out here but, couldn't you make the debug firmware look like a retail, i mean, on the PS3s end, so when it goes to boot, it will think its booting retail but really its a debug boot?

JACKSON – The seemingly perpetual financial crisis facing the state's 15 community mental health centers apparently has been averted through at least June 2012.
An agreement has been reached by which the Department of Mental Health, under budget strains of its own, will pay half of the Medicaid match needed to help keep the centers open.
In Northeast Mississippi, the centers are Region 3 based in Tupelo, Region 2 based in Oxford and Timber Hills based in Corinth.
"Hopefully this will put us in pretty good shape and allow us to keep going," said Charlie Spearman, the executive director of the Timber Hills Center.
Earlier this summer it appeared that some of the community mental health centers might have to close because they could not afford to pay the state's share of the match to pull down federal funds to treat Medicaid recipients.
Under state law as interpreted by the Mississippi Division of Medicaid, the state will not pay for the treatment of Medicaid recipients at the community mental health centers.
If a Medicaid recipient receives similar care for a mental illness from a private provider, whether from a doctor or a hospital, the state of Mississippi and the federal government pay for the treatment.
But if a Medicaid recipient goes to a community mental health center for treatment, the federal government pays, and the state doesn't.
In the past, the Department of Mental Health has picked up much of the state's tab for the treatment of Medicaid recipients at the centers.
But the department's budget has shrunk because of the slowdown in state tax collections, and its board has been reluctant to pick up the cost for the community mental centers.
Under the agreement, Wendy Bailey, a spokeswoman for the Department of Mental Health, said the Department of Mental Health and the community mental health centers will each pay 50 percent of the expected $28 million to $30 million needed for the current fiscal year and for the next, which ends June 30, 2012, to draw down federal Medicaid funds.
Plus, the Department of Mental Health paid $12 million toward the match for the past year.
"I am thrilled we are maintaining our system of community mental health centers," said House Public Health Chair Steve Holland, D-Plantersville. "I also feel strongly the state is not meeting its obligation toward the centers. I think they are meeting us more than halfway."
The 15 community mental health centers operate independently and serve people dealing with mental illness, people suffering from drug addictions, people dealing with intellectual disabilities and others.
The Department of Mental Health also contracts with the centers to provide community-based treatments, including to people who have been discharged from state mental health hospitals.
The centers receive funding from a tax levy in the counties in their service region. The centers treat people regardless of their ability to pay.
Ed LeGrand, director of the Department of Mental Health and an advocate of the centers, said 80 percent of the centers' total revenue is from treating Medicaid-eligible patients.
In many instances, the centers provide the only local alternative for patients who might otherwise be housed in a county jail until they are transferred to a mental health hospital.
Spearman said he is hopeful that a permanent solution to the funding problems facing the centers can be found during the upcoming session of the Legislature.
"I think more legislators are more aware of our situation," Spearman said.
The current fiscal year runs through June 30.

Best Post-Teflon Nonstick Pans
West Elm Greenpan 12" Frying Pan
This pan's mineral-based Thermolon coating – the key to its nonstick properties – proved itself time and again: Steaks seared wonderfully and omelets slid out smoothly. Cleaning is as simple as wiping with a soapy sponge – no scraping necessary. It's better than any Teflon pan and can handle temperatures as high as 850 degrees. [$50; westelm.com]

A county clerk will not record a deed unless the instrument plainly specifies and refers to the next immediate source from which the grantor derived title to property or interest conveyed therein. If the source of title is a deed or other recorded writing, the deed offered for record should refer to the former deed or writing, and give the office, book and page where it is recorded and the date on which it was recorded. If the property was obtained by inheritance or in any other way than by recorded instrument, the deed presented for recording should state clearly and accurately how and from the grantor obtained the title.
• If a county clerk requires a parcel identification number for the property to be present on the document, they shall provide a computer terminal in their office to facilitate this purpose.
• A deed of correction must plainly state that it is a deed of correction and should refer to the deed of record which it is correcting.
• The county clerk will not record a deed, deed of trust, or mortgage covering real property by which the payment of any indebtedness is secured unless the document states the date and maturity of the obligations secured by the document which have already been issued or which are to be issued. In the case of obligations that are due on demand, this requirement can be met by stating "due on demand."
• In the case of an exchange of properties, the fair cash value of the property being exchanged should be stated in the body of the deed.
• A statement of consideration should be included with real property documents submitted to the county clerk. One of the following must be included with the document:
a. In transfers other than by gift, or those with nominal or no consideration, a sworn notarized certificate signed by the grantor and grantee that the consideration reflected in the deed is the full consideration paid for the property, or
b. In the case of a transfer either by gift or with nominal or no consideration, a sworn and notarized certificate signed by the grantor or grantee stating that the transfer is by gift and setting forth the estimated fair cash value of the property.
For a list of exemptions to the statement of consideration, see supplemental documents.

I wanted 1080p so that I could connect a laptop to it as a monitor in our guest bedroom. The picture is nice and clear, the sound is great, the only thing I do not like about it is watching movies. Putting it in cinema mode has little change effect. Watching a movie has the "Soap Opera effect" or like you are watching a home video, not a movie. Also I thought this TV was a newer model that could be connected via the LG wireless connections, but I must have read wrong that this TV does not have that function. I wanted to use the LG wireless function to have DVD and cable box in one room and send signal to multipe TV's. I was told it is a 1-1 setup, one TV to one wireless setup. :( I was hoping that since this TV will not be used that often, I did not want to rent another HD cable box and I would connect via the LG wireless station and use RF remove if wanted to. I wish I would have purchase the 550 LCD model.

Comments about LG 32" Class Full HD 1080p LED LCD TV:
I bought this tv in March of 2011. As of today I've had it on 29,171 hours! That's 40 of the 54 months I've owned it. And it still works flawlessly! I have an Xbox 360, Xbox One and Roku along with surround sound and a pair of headphones wired to it! Couldn't recommend this enough!
Would be nice…if it worked.

Was good for the first couple years. But now it has just stopped responding to everything. The buttons on the TV are unresponsive, as is the remote. Can't change the volume, input, anything. I can't even turn the bloody thing off now! Is this how you get people to buy your newer products?
Great while it lasted
By UnhappyCustomer
from New York State
I purchased this set on October 10, 2010. In August of 2013 it became unresponsive to a touch on the power icon and to the power button on the remote. At the same time, the volume began turning itself up to 100% without any input via either the icon or the remote. The only way to force it to turn on or off when needed is to plug the power cord into a power strip and turn it on/off with the switch on the strip. I usually use it to view DVDs, so I can work around the volume problem by unplugging the audio cables from the back of the set and listening to the DVD sound through my stereo system. These work-arounds are, of course, a pain, so I will have to replace the set soon. I bought this brand because of its reputation for quality, so I expected it to work properly much longer than two years and ten months.
Excellent HD TV
By KupoKev
from Mt Vernon, IL 62864, USA
LG has been known for their excellent TVs for years, but this is the best LG I have owned yet. It has a crystal clear picture. I have an LG bluray player hooked up to this TV. While watching a bluray movie it is so sharp it is like you are standing on set with the people in the movie. Even animated movies like the Lion King are amazing on this television. I have had friends come over with their kids and they always comment on how sharp of a picture it is. This television is also excellent for gaming. The great response time makes for a super sharp picture on gaming systems. I have an Xbox 360 and it is the sharpest graphics I have seen from any of my friend's televisions. The sound is also very good for a 32" television. I have it in my living room and there is no problems hearing it at even half volume. I only have two qualms about this television. First, is that I have hooked it up to PCs to use it as a second monitor and I did not like the picture. Even dimmed down it is super bright for a computer screen. For some reason LED just doesn't look as sharp with computer graphics. I know it isn't the video cards in the PCs because I have attached several computers to it. Second, there is no output RCA (red and white) audio jacks. The only Audio outs is a headphone jack and then your optical outs. Makes it harder to connect to older surround sounds. You can use a mini to RCA cord, but it doesn't have as loud of sound. If you try turning it up it slightly distorts the sound. Overall the drawbacks are very minor things. The TV overall is an excellent television set and has been reliable over the almost 2 years I have owned it.
By UKI
Overall it is a decent t.v. The picture is nice a vivid and the sound is awesome. The picture is easy to program and has a large range of variety. As for the volume, I've had down to 3 and was able to hear it over the two fans running in my room, amazing. However, sorry but not all of my critiques are raves of greatness. With the good you have to show the bad, for me it has to do with the remote, time and channels. The remote tends to freeze. You do not have the ability to program the station of the channels. Lastly the time doesn't program correctly on it's own and nor does it stay set.

Great value
By bill
I looked around for a month at a number of retailers and on line comparing different 32 inch sets and this one was by far the best value for picture quality.
great TV
By charlie
from Floral Park, NY
Got the LG 32LE5300 and was able to set it up and get a great picture in minutes. The watching experience has been great ever since. I had an occasion to watch a show on an older tube TV and it was almost a bad as trying to watch a show on one of the smart phones. the picture was so small and the quality just was not there. You do not realize just how much you are being spoiled until you have to go back. Charlie

I am not a technical person but I thoroughly enjoy the clear sharp picture on my TV. Love IT! I am sold on the LG product and plan on buying this brand in the future.
Finally a good, inexpensive, quality flatscreen tv
By newq
from Georgia
The LG LE5300 has great picture and sound quality. It was easy to assemble and easy to program. This tv has lots of options on the back to hook up additional electronics. I was able to connect my computer to the tv and watch online television on this tv and the sound and picture were excellent. I love the look of the LG LE5300...it is sleek and just the right size for my living room.
Pretty good lads!

This is a great tv. I use it as my computer monitor. no bleeding, no ghosting plays games wonderfully. speakers could handle bass a little bit better but this is the best monitor I have owned. tv looks good, easy to use and has plenty of connections. very very slim!

After three decades of steadily improving its research prowess, the University of Rochester now claims to rank among the most influential scientific research institutions in the country-and has the evidence to prove it.
A report compiled by Thomson Reuters shows that the findings of UR researchers have a disproportionate influence on the thinking of other scientists. The report measured the amount of scholarly research at institutions and how often that institution's findings were cited by others in peer-reviewed journals, placing UR 17th among citations by other scientists.
UR had a relative citation rate of 1.71, with 1 considered the average citation impact for the world, considering the field and the year of published papers. Massachusetts Institute of Technology topped the list with a relative citation rate of 2.28.
The report uses a measure called relative citation impact, taking into account the number of citations, the prominence of the journals in which they appear and the field in which an individual specializes. This is intended to measure the quality of scientific output as opposed to quantity, an area where UR's score has increased steadily over the last 30 years, university officials said.
"This report is further evidence of the exceptional and innovative work being done by our scientific faculty," UR president Joel Seligman said. "It is also an affirmation that our researchers are global leaders and innovators in critical scientific fields such as medicine, engineering, optics and energy."
For other universities in the Association of American Universities, a group of 63 research institutions in the United States and Canada, growth in citations has been relatively flat over the last few decades, while at UR it has risen nearly 15 percent, said Ralph Kuncl, UR provost.
Being listed among institutions like Yale University is a validation of the work done at UR and will have a strong influence on future work, Kuncl said.
"Being tied for No. 17 (with Yale and Boston University) puts us in a rarified group of very productive places," he said. "It's not that we produce a lot of stuff compared to the largest institutions, but what we do produce has a huge impact on the world of science, and other scientists in turn look at our work as being worthy of citation."
Kuncl said the ranking reflected a gradual buildup of research in the natural, biological and physical sciences over the last 30 years. In that time the university has recruited faculty members who are more aggressive in seeking funding for research and begun major initiatives in research, such as work at the Laboratory for Laser Energetics.
"The bar has risen here in terms of expectations about productivity of scholars, and those are what I would define as cultural changes," Kuncl said. "That kind of change doesn't happen overnight."
The period measured by the report, 2005 through 2009, was a busy one for UR researchers. During that time the university received $1.8 billion in external research funding and scientists produced important work like the creation of a new scientific discipline to examine the potential health risks of nanoparticles and work identifying cancer patients at risk for deadly blood clots.
The discoveries have a strong impact on both UR and the surrounding community. The university consistently ranks among the top 10 nationally in royalty revenue generated from licensed technologies, and in 2007 it received $53 million in all.
Many of the startup ventures founded at UR stay in the community and contribute to economic development, university officials said. But beyond Rochester, the findings also help keep the United States at the forefront of scientific leadership and create economic benefits nationwide.
"The academic principle of disseminating scientific knowledge is essential to the process of translating discoveries into new treatments, innovation and technologies," said Bradford Berk, CEO of the University of Rochester Medical Center. "The process of harnessing shared and accumulated knowledge to advance science and improve health is a vital component of U.S. global economic and scientific leadership. This report underscores the unique and central contribution that research universities make to the nation's economic vitality."
With a number of other publications making college ranking lists based on student surveys or other less scrupulous measures, having a ranking based on the thoughts and reactions of scientists is pivotal to the university, Kuncl said.
"This is far, far more important than the kind of diluted rankings that are found everywhere in the media," he said. "The classic example is the U.S. News and World Report rankings of universities, which is an interesting exercise but is not the way scientists view the university's importance."

Rip Curl's Flash Bomb Wins SIMA Image Awards Wetsuit of The Year
Costa Mesa, CA (February 19, 2013): The Best Just Got Better. Rip Curl's extremely honored and humbled to win the 2012 SIMA Image Awards' "Wetsuit of the Year" for the FLASH BOMB for the second consecutive year. The awards took place this past February 7 at The Grove Theater in Anaheim, California.
The award, which aims to recognize the wetsuit that "featured the most exciting design, appeal, or innovation", was a true credit to the Rip Curl wetsuit department who took the success of the award-winning Flash Bomb and worked diligently to improve it.
Boasting Flash Lining, which wicks water from the interior of the suit within seconds of being exposed to the air, the FLASH BOMB is dry to the touch in roughly 15 minutes after surfing when hung up; hence, "World's Fastest Drying Wetsuit".
Rip Curl would like to thank and recognize all the valued specialty retail partners nationally who have contributed to the success of the FLASH BOMB, as well as our world-class roster of athletes who have played a major role in the development process.

The University's Young Democrats organized a card signing Monday, Aug. 10, for students to thank Nevada's congressional delegation for approving a bill that provides an increase in student financial aid.
"We want to show Congress that students are paying attention and have a voice," said Rachel Miller, Young Democrats president.
The College Cost Reduction and Access Act, passed on Friday, Sept. 7, will cut student loan interest rates in half over the next four years, guarantee that borrowers will not have to pay more than 15 percent of their discretionary income for loan repayments and increase the maximum Pell Grant scholarship from $4,050 to $5,400.
"This is an issue that affects students so much," said Adam Allen, Young Democrats historian. "We decided it would be good to show our appreciation with a card."
Allen said he has always been uncomfortable with the idea of taking out student loans because of high interest rates. Passing this bill will make paying for college easier, he said.
Tim Taycher, Young Democrats treasurer, said that the passing of this bill shows that Congress is beginning to pay attention to issues that affect young adults.
"They are constantly talking about Medicare and Social Security," Taycher said. "Now they are starting to look at what is important to college students."
The University's Young Democrats organization is a chapter of Young Democrats of Nevada. Card signings will take place at Young Democrat chapters throughout the state. Students who are interested in joining the Young Democrats are encouraged to contact Rachel Miller at email@example.com or visit its website.
Young Democrats say 'thank you' to Nevada delegates
