US Market for Dental Biomaterials Will See Strong Growth, Reaching a Value of Over $485 Million by 2022
Product Innovations and Strategic Initiatives Will Spur Greater Adoption of these Products, According to Millennium Research Group
Dec 10, 2013, 08:00 ET
TORONTO, Dec. 10, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- According to Millennium Research Group (MRG), the global authority on medical technology market intelligence, dental biomaterial procedure volumes will see strong growth, spurred largely by rising use of dental implants; bone grafting, which uses one or more biomaterial products, is commonly performed before the placement of an implant. Increased marketing and awareness of the benefits of biomaterials among physicians and patients, as well as a growing emphasis on aesthetics, will also drive adoption.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130103/MM36799LOGO )
This market will be further supported by product innovations that will promote incorporation of dental biomaterial into more procedures. For example, demineralized bone matrices (DBMs) are increasingly being offered with added cancellous bone chips, which offer additional structural properties for bone growth as well as radiopacity. Zimmer and Keystone Dental were previously the only competitors to offer this product feature, but Biomet released the RegenerOss Allograft Putty Plus earlier this year.
Another strategic initiative is Straumann's new packaging of its Emdogain product, which competes in the tissue regeneration segment. Rather than offering one large syringe, the new Emdogain 015 will contain five smaller syringes, each filled with 0.15 mL of the product. This configuration will make the product more cost effective for smaller defects and soft tissue grafting procedures, where much of the content of a large syringe would be wasted.
"Although the synthetic bone graft substitute (BGS) segment has historically seen slow adoption, this segment will see strong growth as research and development initiatives increase with the improving economy and as more clinical trials begin to show noninferiority of synthetics to current industry standards," said MRG Analyst David Lee. "As a result, more competitors are entering this space, including ACE Surgical Supply, RTI Biologics and DENTSPLY International. These companies are poised to gain share at the expense of smaller companies, such as NovaBone Products and Kerr. Although these companies have previously held strong shares in the synthetic BGS market, they will struggle against these new entrants because the latter have established customer bases and more resources to designate to research and development."
Millennium Research Group's US Markets for Dental Biomaterials 2014 report includes procedure, unit, average selling price and revenue information, along with market drivers and limiters and a competitive landscape for BGS, dental membranes and tissue regeneration products in the United States.

A memorial service was held Saturday for the mother and brother of kidnapped teen Hannah Anderson, who was rescued two weeks ago by the FBI in the forest of southern Idaho.
The service for Christina Anderson, 44, and Ethan Anderson, 8, was held at the Guardian Angels Roman Catholic Church in Santee.
"For the death of Tina and Ethan there are no easy words," the Rev. Kevin Casey told the memorial gathering. "We struggle with deaths like this because they are not right. They are an abomination."
The two were killed, allegedly by family friend James DiMaggio, in DiMaggio's home in Boulevard in rural San Diego County on Aug. 4 before he kidnapped Hannah and fled north. Sheriff's investigators say DiMaggio set fire to the home before leaving town.
Mother and son died from "horrific and cruel murders," Casey said. "We are touched by this evil and we can never be the same again."
After an Amber Alert and six days of a massive search, DiMaggio and Hannah were spotted in the rugged Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness in Idaho. On Aug. 10, DiMaggio was shot and killed by FBI agents sent to rescue the teenager.
San Diego County Sheriff Bill Gore said later that Hannah did not know that DiMaggio had killed her mother and brother. The teen was being held under "great duress," Gore said.
The fire that destroyed DiMaggio's home was set with incendiary devices, probably with timers, investigators said.
Back in her home in Lakeside, Hannah took to social media to answer questions about the ordeal.
"I'm a teenager," she said during an interview on NBC's "Today" show. "I'm gonna go on it."

Dear Mom:
Right now the world is a crazy place, and I hate to say it, but I'm actually blessed that you are in bed, adrift in your Alzheimer's Disease and what it does to your mind and body, not knowing what goes on in the outside world.
I remember back in 2001, as your diagnosed dementia progressed into early onset Alzheimer's (you had just turned 60), and the tragedy of 9-11 occurred. To you it was unreal, like a movie, as it was to many of us. You imagined certain aspects of the events that didn't actually happen because that was the way your brain was wired. Again, I think you're the lucky one in that you never knew everything that went on that day or how it would affect all of us, as a nation and individually.
All this weekend I've tried to imagine your reaction to the school shooting in Connecticut and the murder of 20 young children, all first graders. I know you'd be devastated, simply based on what I know about you and the way you were around children of all ages.
I was always amazed at how you would gravitate to almost any child and make a connection. You held newborns almost as if you ached to do so. We'd be out in public, in a shopping mall or a store, and I'd turn around . . . and you'd have someone's baby in your arms. You were a mother to so many, in your own immediate family and to the extended family of Austins, MacEntees and more.
You counseled and cared for so many of my cousins, and even children of close family friends, knowing that a trip to New York City or that special birthday treat was a glimmering highlight in their life. You knew who had been abused, who had been neglected. It was almost a secret language you spoke with them. You connected instantly. And you let them know, based on your own experiences with abuse, that it does get better. That there are kind souls out there. That good trumps evil each and every time, even if we don't see it in the short run.
As your disease progressed, this connection became a problem: you'd want to hold small babies and try to grab them from strangers. Or we'd be at a restaurant and you'd focus on smiling and waving to a small child across the room and ignore your food or the conversation.
So what would you think of these 20 young lives eliminated by a madman? You'd cry, you'd talk to others about it, and you'd hold your own children a little closer and little tighter if you could. Something I think every parent in America has been doing this same thing all weekend.
But you'd also wonder about the mother of the madman who was also killed. You'd ask how this happened, and you'd have empathy for her and her family. That empathy is the greatest gift you've ever given me: the ability to picture myself in someone's else's shoes and ponder their plight before I jumped to conclusions.
My biggest fear over the next few days is that we as a nation jump to short-sighted, knee-jerk solutions to what is a serious problem: mental illness, access to guns, violence and the way media glorifies it at the expense of making a profit.
While it's better you not know these things, being the smart, capable and strong woman that you were, you'd find a way to make sense of it all. And you'd tell everyone not just how you felt, but what needed to be done. That's what I miss most right now.

To mark the publication of Dictionary of Untranslatables: A Philosophical Lexicon, we are delighted to share a series of playful graphics by our design team which illustrate some of the most interesting terms from the Dictionary. For week six in the "Untranslatable Tuesdays" series we present Media/Medium (of communication):
By the beginning of the twentieth century, the recognition of a family resemblance between the various "implements of intercommunication" meant that they could be compared and contrasted in profitable new ways. . . . The term "mass media" found its niche in scholarly articles by such influential American midcentury thinkers as Hadley Cantril, Harold Lasswell, and Paul Lazarsfeld. But European philosophers resisted this tendency. . . . For Sartre, Adorno, and their contemporaries, "mass media" was less an untranslatable than an untouchable sullied by intellectual and institutional associations with American cultural imperialism. . . . This resistance was soon exhausted. . . . Cognates like "multimedia," "remediation," and "mediality" proliferate globally. This reflects less the dominance of English than the collective urgency of an intellectual project. (Ben Kafka)

This week, I've read several posts about people's guild organization, management, and member ranks. Vidyala wrote about it; so did Saga, Alas, Zelmaru. There were others too I just don't have them all at my fingertips.
Reading all this made me realize Reversion and I got luckier than we thought when we moved to Winterhoof to join Crits and Giggles. We already knew it was full of friendly people, some of whom were bloggers, with raiding opportunities anda culture we'd like. What I didn't realize was how apparently rare it is to find a setup where raid != guild.
There are currently two raids in Crits; our Fri/Sat and a Sun/Mon, both ten man raids. As more people gear up there will probably be a third raid. We're not likely to develop a 25 man, tens are our strength.
There are several guild officers in Crits. I mostly know because of who I have to ask for invites for new alts. Officers work hard behind the scenes to set stuff up – but so can any member that wants to. Reversion and I have not been hampered by our normal-member status; in fact it probably helped to create the raid we wanted, where every raider has an equal voice – but Reversion and I are the benevolent dictators because we do the organizing.
There are two ranks of "normal" member in the guild, one for all members who have authenticators, with guild bank access and repair funds, and one for non-authenticator-members without. That's it. There's no "elite" raiders or "unimportant" socials. No "trial period" for the guild. No need to remove people because their gearing up is slower.
Admittedly, we are not a Serious Raiding Guild. We are not trying for server first, or server tenth. Reversion's and my raid has yet to down our first boss (Tol Barad guy does not count) while the other raid just killed their first Sunday (I got to step in for that). On the other hand, at 7pm Friday all my raiders are online, in vent, at the instance, ready to go. They listen and do what we ask and we have fun.
I want us to get some more bosses down so we can demonstrate that you CAN be a social guild with raiding success. That you can choose raiders based on their personality fitting with everyone else and demonstrated potential to not be bad, rather than their uber gear. But what I like best is knowing that if someone doesn't fit in our raid, that they may still fit the guild. When the two are not the same thing, there are options like that. We have a guildie who is a notorious PVP'er, the sort of guy who is server-infamous; we're not a pvp guild and he does his own thing but for whatever reason he likes us. We've added a couple members in the last week from a similar level of raiding guild (ie, not very, but wants to raid) because we're a nicer environment and don't kick people because they'd rather be a shaman than a priest. We have people with ten alts in the guild, people with none.
It's nice, it's low-stress, and it's our WoW home.

As a midseason pickup for the Arena Football League's Pittsburgh Power, Bruton High all-time great Bryan Randall has started seven games for a 3-11 team.
At least statistically, he has been the Power's most effective quarterback, completing 163 of 256 passes (63.7 percent) for 35 touchdowns and eight interceptions, averaging 276.9 passing yards per game. That gives him a 107.85 passer rating. He also has run 14 times for 54 yards and a touchdown and is averaging 284.1 yards of offense per contest, though he lost his starting job to Andrico Hines in the last two games.
Randall's most prolific game with the Power came May 12, when he was 37 of 50 for 382 yards and seven TDs against the San Antonio Talons.
Earlier this year, Randall was throwing passes to mercurial former All-Pro receiver Terrell Owens in Texas with the Allen Wranglers in a lower-level indoor league, as well as with the Lehigh Valley (Pa.) Steelhawks.
Randall — the Daily Press' Male Athlete of the Year in 1999-2000 and 2000-2001 — is No. 2 in the Daily Press' ranking of the best area high school athletes in the 21st century's first decade.
He led Bruton to the 2000 Group AA basketball championship. He averaged 21.7 points, 7.1 rebounds, 5.4 assists and 3.1 steals in his senior year, and he was named The Associated Press' Group AA Player of the Year that season. That summer, Randall scored 10 points in just 11 minutes to help Boo Williams' under-17 team beat a Cincinnati squad in the AAU national championship game.
In football, Randall became the first Peninsula-area player to rush and throw for more than 1,000 yards in a season — and did it twice. In his senior year, he rushed for 1,131 yards and 16 touchdowns and passed for another 1,430 yards and 15 scores. He finished his career with 7,481 all-purpose yards.
Then he went to Virginia Tech, where he led the Hokies to the 2004 ACC championship.
He has played in numerous pro football leagues, including the NFL. In 2010, Randall was named the Indoor Football League's MVP after leading the Richmond Revolution by accounting for 58 TDs and 2,033 passing yards.

Latest media releases
Disclosure of shareholdings as of 27 February 2008 (1)
Based on article 20 of the Federal Act on Stock Exchanges and Securities Trading (SESTA) UBS AG, Bahnhofstrasse 45, 8098 Zurich, received the following information from the Government of Singapore Investment Corporation Pte. Ltd. ("GIC"), 168 Robinson Road, #37-01, Capital Tower, Singapore 068912, for publication:
As of 27 February 2008 the Government of Singapore, 100 High Street, #10-01, The Treasury, Singapore 179434, indirectly through its subsidiary GIC, held a stake of 9.544% of acquisition positions (proportion of voting rights) relating to registered shares of UBS AG. These positions comprise 8,316,717 (0.358%) registered shares of UBS AG, with voting rights, and the right to acquire conversion rights on 213,675,213 (9.186%, both figures excluding dilution from the stock dividend) registered shares of UBS AG in the form of mandatory convertible notes ("Mandatory Convertible Notes") on 5 March 2008.
By recommendation of the Disclosure Office of the SWX Swiss Exchange dated 30 January 2008, the Government of Singapore was granted an exemption to the effect that the basis of the present calculation of the proportion of voting rights may be the share capital currently recorded in the Commercial Register plus the maximal number of registered shares of UBS AG to be issued upon the future conversion of the Mandatory Convertible Notes in the aggregate amount of CHF 13 billion, being a total number of 2,326,072,597 registered shares (figure excluding dilution from stock dividend).
Based on the maximum number of shares to be issued under the Mandatory Convertible Notes and taking into account the shares to be issued in connection with the stock dividend, GIC, as a result of the conversion, would hold approximately 8.8% of UBS's shares.
GIC is wholly owned by the Government of Singapore and manages the reserves of Singapore. It acts as fund manager of the Government of Singapore, the Monetary Authority of Singapore and MND Holdings (Private) Limited. The shares already held for the latter legal entities are included in the reported positions.
The notification obligation was triggered by a Letter Agreement dated 9 December 2007 between GIC and UBS AG and regarding the purchase by GIC of the Mandatory Convertible Notes in the amount of CHF 11 billion. In its recommendation dated 30 January 2008 the Disclosure Office of the SWX Swiss Exchange granted an adjournment of the notification.
The Mandatory Convertible Notes have the following terms:
UBS Convertible Securities (Jersey) Ltd.
Conditional capital created at the extraordinary general meeting of UBS AG of 27 February 2008
Reference Price:
Minimum Conversion Price:
100% of the Reference Price
Maximum Conversion Price:
117% of the Reference Price
Mandatory Conversion at Maturity:
Notes redeemed through conversion into shares. Conversion ratio applicable at maturity will be:
if the share price is at or below the Minimum Conversion Price, the par value divided by the Minimum Conversion Price;
if the share price is at or above the Maximum Conversion Price, the par value divided by the Maximum Conversion Price;
if the share price is between the Minimum and Maximum Conversion Price, the par value divided by the share price.
2 years (early conversion possible under certain circumstances)
9% p.a. (payable annually)

Years of underfunding of mental health services must be corrected and poorly coordinated government policies and programs need an overhaul, according to Canada's first mental health strategy that contains more than 100 priorities and recommendations.
The strategy, titled Changing Directions, Changing Lives, is officially being launched Tuesday by the Mental Health Commission of Canada and a copy of it was obtained in advance by CBC News.
It divides its priorities and recommendations into six strategic areas that cover mental health prevention and promotion, access to services, upholding the rights of people with mental illness and fostering their recovery, addressing the needs of specific populations such as seniors and First Nations and remote communities, and improving collaboration among governments and stakeholders.
Approximately one in five Canadians will be affected by a mental health issue which means almost every Canadian will be touched by it either themselves or through someone they know and the commission says the strategy is designed for all Canadians.
The commission, set up in 2007 and funded by Health Canada, calls the 152-page document a blueprint for bringing mental health "out of the shadows" where it has been kept because of stigma and jurisdictional challenges. The report notes that the delivery of health care and social services falls mostly to provincial and territorial governments but says the federal government also has responsibilities in certain policy areas and is the provider of health services for certain population groups.
Political leaders at all levels of government need to be fully engaged in coordinating mental health-related practices across multiple departments, the strategy says, and part of that should involve creating a common set of benchmarks, and a framework for collecting data.
$4 billion investment needed
Political leaders also need to rethink the funding models for mental health, the commission says, and it recommends that the proportion of health spending that goes to mental health should rise from seven per cent to nine per cent over 10 years.
That would represent an investment of approximately $4 billion over the next decade and the commission also recommends that the proportion of spending from social services budgets that goes to mental health should rise by at least two per cent. Officials from the commission couldn't provide a dollar amount for that investment.
Given that mental illness is estimated to cost the economy about $50 billion annually, the commission says a bigger investment in mental health will save money in the end.
Governments can't act alone, however, the report calls for the private sector to also "buy in" to changing a system that has been neglected for too long.
There needs to be a shift in workplace culture and there should be health promotion and prevention activities, the report says, as well as policies to deal with bullying and harassment. Workplaces must also be supportive of employees who are recovering from a mental health problems.
Some of the report's other recommendations include:
- Fight stigma by including opportunities in promotion and prevention initiatives to meet and talk with people living with mental illnesses.
- Increase mental health initiatives in schools and target prevention efforts for those at risk.
- Increase mental health initiatives in workplaces.
- Provide incentives to attract mental health professionals to northern and remote communities.
- Create opportunities for people living with mental health problems to work in the mental health workforce.
- Stop disclosure in police record checks of apprehensions by police under mental health legislation.
- Shift policies and practices toward recovery for people living with mental health problems.
- Address critical gaps in treatment programs for youth and adult offenders.
- Better training for police, court and corrections workers.
- Set standards for wait times for mental health services.
- Remove financial barriers for children and youth to access psychotherapies and counselling.
- Address barriers to access for medications.
While the plan has a focus on the need for mental health promotion and prevention, it also emphasizes the need for a recovery-oriented system where people who experience mental health problems are treated with dignity and respect. Recovery doesn't necessarily mean a cure for the problem, the report states, but full remission of systems is possible for some.
Some people who are experiencing a mental problem are reluctant to seek help for it and report that the stigma, from co-workers, family and friends, and sometimes the very systems that are supposed to help them, is more devastating than the illness or problem itself.
The best way to break the stigma and change attitudes is through meeting and talking to people who can share their experiences, according to the strategy.
Help can be unaffordable
A personal connection is also key for people recovering from a mental health problem. Meeting other people with similar experiences was crucial for Shana Calixte who was diagnosed with post-partum depression after giving birth in 2006.
Through a peer-support group that she now works for in Sudbury, Ont., Calixte met a range of people, some who had lived on the streets, others who ran companies.
"To see that range was very important because you often feel very alone, you feel that no one else is experiencing this or I'm making too much of this or I'm not the typical face, but to see that range of people, to see that diversity of experience was most powerful for me," she told Susan Lunn of CBC News.
Calixte said she had trouble accessing psychological services, and as a lesbian, she felt double the stigma because she experienced homophobia within the health system.
Beyond the stigma, Calixte talked about wait times and financial barriers that many people face when they seek help.
"You can't afford to pay your rent let alone $100 an hour to see somebody. There are a lot of limitations in the system," she said.
The report says not enough is being done to fund services or to address the problem of two-tier access to counselling and that governments must ensure there are no financial barriers, for youth in particular, who need to access counselling.
The commission also calls for more education so people can more easily recognize the signs and symptoms of mental health problems and would to see training as common as it is now for first aid and physical health problems.
Officials from the Mental Health Commission say their plan is ambitious, far-reaching and balanced and if acted upon, will go a long way to improving a system it says is fragmented and underfunded.
They say that even though governments are tightening their belts and cutting spending in many areas, they are confident that the message is getting through that mental health should be spared.
Federal Health Minister Leona Aglukkaq said in question period Monday that she is looking forward to the official launch of the strategy on Tuesday and she rejected accusations from the NDP that the federal government hasn't shown enough leadership on mental health issues.

CARSON, Calif. (Friday, April 19, 2013) – The LA Galaxy announced today that the club's charitable arm, the LA Galaxy Foundation, will donate $10,000 to The One Fund Boston. The club will also observe a Moment of Silence prior to Saturday night's game against Sporting Kansas City to recognize those who were affected by Monday's bombings at the Boston Marathon. Additionally, the team flags of the Boston Bruins, Boston Celtics, Boston Red Sox, New England Patriots and New England Revolution will be displayed on the berm, as will the flag of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick and Boston Mayor Thomas Menino announced the formation of The One Fund Boston, Inc. in order to help the people most affected by the tragic occurrences in Boston on April 15.
"The LA Galaxy have been tremendously moved by the outpouring of support from around the world to those who have been affected by the recent Boston Marathon bombings and wanted to assist those families by making this donation," said Galaxy President Chris Klein. "We consider our club to be a family and we were pained to learn that Southern California native John Odom, the father-in-law of our former goalkeeper Matt Reis, was one of those who were injured in Monday's attacks. Matt will always be a member of the Galaxy family and we are all thinking of him and his family in this time of need."

Obama's papal audience
VATICAN CITY — President Barack Obama was once the biggest superstar on the international stage. On Thursday, he headed here to benefit from the popularity of his replacement: Pope Francis.
The 50-minute meeting was a rare chance for Obama to associate himself with a world leader whose cool factor far outweighs his own, and it comes at a critical time in his presidency. The White House is still recovering from what aides call a "lost year," and the president's job approval ratings at home are dipping to new lows.
Story Continued Below
The meeting with the pope and another with the Vatican's secretary of state included talk of "respect for humanitarian and international law and a negotiated solution between the parties involved" in areas of conflict around the world, the Holy See said in a readout, likely a tip to the situation in Ukraine and Syria's civil war.
( PHOTOS: Presidents and popes)
There was "a discussion on questions of particular relevance for the Church in that country, such as the exercise of the rights to religious freedom, life and conscientious objection," the Vatican said, hinting at discussion of the Affordable Care Act's contraception mandate and of abortion. Immigration reform was also discussed, though income inequality — an issue important to the president's domestic agenda — was not listed by the Vatican.
In public, the visit was cordial and reverent.
"Wonderful meeting you," Obama said as the pope greeted him in the Small Throne Room, just outside the Papal Library. The pair, plus two interpreters, then walked into the library and took seats on opposite sides of the pope's desk.
( Also on POLITICO: GOP says pope's no liberal)
"It is a great honor. I'm a great admirer," the president said. "Thank you so much for receiving me." He also sent regards from first lady Michelle Obama and their daughters, who met Pope Benedict XVI during a 2009 visit here.
After their meeting, the two men exchanged gifts. Obama offered a custom-made box of seeds, acknowledging Francis's decision to open up the private papal gardens to the public. "If you have a chance to come to the White House, we can show you our garden as well," the president said.
The pope gave Obama a plaque and an encyclical. "I actually will probably read this in the Oval Office when I'm deeply frustrated. I'm sure it will give me strength and calm me down," the president said.
( QUIZ: How well do you know Pope Francis?)
As the visit came to a close, Obama asked the pontiff to pray for the first family, who've stood by him throughout his political career. "They've been very strong. Pray for them. I would appreciate it," he said. The pope assented.
Obama planned to use the closely watched meeting to show how aligned he is with the pope on income inequality, poverty and immigration — issues important to both the White House and Democrats as they try to paint Republicans as insensitive to the needs of Americans before the upcoming midterms.
"He needs the Francis bump," said Chad Pecknold, a theology professor at The Catholic University of America.
( PHOTOS: President Obama in Europe)
Francis has a 76 percent approval rating among Americans, according to a Gallup poll published Wednesday. Obama's approval rating in the daily Gallup tracking poll was 42 percent.
But even here, Obama may not have been able to escape the issue that's dogged his presidency: Obamacare.
The contraceptive mandate has strained his relationship back home with the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, and it came up at a January meeting between Secretary of State John Kerry and his Vatican counterpart, Archbishop Pietro Parolin. Had the Vatican chosen to highlight that aspect of the president's meetings in its readout, the contraceptive controversy could have distracted from the White House's aim to show common cause with the pope on issues that Obama still hopes to advance in his second term.
On income inequality in particular, Obama seems to see Francis as a kindred spirit — and important validator. Launching his renewed income inequality push in December, Obama reminded people that the concerns he had were not unique to America but had been addressed by the pope "at eloquent length," quoting Francis's frustration that stock market dips were news but homeless people dying of exposure were not.
White House aides — starting at the top with chief of staff Denis McDonough, who is an observant Catholic — speak excitedly about that connection to the pope. And that's the sense among their outside allies as well. Francis is a huge help in talking about income inequality, they feel, both because he elevates the issue and depoliticizes it, putting the Democrats onto higher moral ground.

Maybe it is just a cliche, but in the past couple of years there has been a lot of talk about how Ponting should have retired earlier, and especially in the last month it has constantly been said how Tendulkar should retire before his legacy is ruined etc etc.
The question is, after a few decades following a player's retirement do people actually remember the last few years where many will inevitably lose some form? Are any legendary cricketers remembered as being **** towards the end of their career?
When I think of the 'legendary' batsmen (that were before my time) I think of the likes of Viv Richards, Border, Botham, Gavaskar, Khan, Crowe, Hobbs, Trumper, the Chappells and a whole host of others. Did these any of these people have a slump at the end of their career like Tendulkar is now? If so I have never heard about it.
Is this whole 'legacy tarnishing' business something that actually affects how a player is viewed decades from now? Or just a myth?

Publish New Images and Enhanced Indexes to the U.S. Censuses
This announcement has already been posted on other genealogy blogs. I ran across it tonight on The Accidental Genealogist blog at http://theaccidentalgenealogist.blogspot.com/
SALT LAKE CITY—Ancestry.com and FamilySearch, the two largest online family history resources, announced today they will exchange records and resources to make more historical records available online. The first project is a joint initiative to significantly enhance the online U.S. Federal Census Collection (1790 to 1930). The original census records are among the holdings of the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA).
FamilySearch is digitally converting master microfilm copies of the original U.S. Federal Censuses from 1790 through 1930 and, under this agreement, will give these improved images to Ancestry.com. All census images and indexes will be available on Ancestry.com for subscribers. As projects are completed, images will be available for free in NARA reading rooms and FamilySearch's 4,500 Family History Centers.
Ancestry.com, which currently offers indexes and images to the entire publicly available U.S. Federal Census Collection, will give FamilySearch copies of its existing census indexes. Through its online indexing system and community of volunteer indexers, FamilySearch is already indexing select censuses. FamilySearch will merge the Ancestry.com indexes with the new FamilySearch indexes to create enhanced census indexes, which will be added to both sites. Indexes to the enhanced censuses will be free on Ancestry.com for a limited time as they are completed. Indexes will also be available for free on FamilySearch.org.
Allen Weinstein, the Archivist of the United States, welcomed this agreement as a significant benefit for researchers. He remarked that, "Census records are among the most important documents the American people have to trace their genealogy and know their family history. Having two of our partners working together to enhance the indexes and images of these essential documents will enable an unprecedented level of access and understanding."

Giorgio Armani Spring 2013
Giorgio Armani Spring 2013
Softly tailored sportswear in hazy shades of gray opened Giorgio Armani's Spring 2013 show. With their subdued tones in liquid-like silk, they were elegant and understated elegant — and stood in a dramatic contrast to the glistening eveningwear in navy and black that closed the show. In between, there were organza and charmeuse tunics, dresses, and trousers in dreamy prints of pale blue and smoky lavender. And that's the beauty of Armani; he lets each look flow gently into one another seamlessly, like a story unfolding.

Casey Anthony's lawyer said he is confident his client will not be deposed Oct. 9.
Lawyers for the plaintiffs suing her, including Zenaida Gonzalez and Roy Kronk, are fighting to keep those cases alive now that they have been moved to federal court and made part of Anthony's ongoing bankruptcy case.
A deposition in the Gonzalez case is set for next month.
Charles Greene told WESH 2 News he is planning to file a motion to dismiss the lawsuits against his client.
In a Tampa courtroom Tuesday, the judge in Anthony's bankruptcy case said he will hear arguments Nov. 5. Until that time, Greene says he's confident Anthony will not have to answer questions from Gonzalez's lawyers.
Gonzalez claims Anthony ruined her reputation by using her name in a story she told investigators about her missing daughter, Caylee Marie Anthony. She told detectives that the 2-year-old was last in the care of a nanny by the same name before the child was found dead.
Anthony was found not guilty in her daughter's death.

Scrapple is said to be one of the first pork foods made in America. It's a flexible dish and makes an excellent breakfast alongside poached eggs and sausage, or serve it for lunch with stewed vegetables or just have it as a snack.
I'm sure there are some of you who may have never had the pleasure of breakfasting on scrapple…a fried slice of pork-mush. Sometimes called Philadelphia scrapple, it is said to have actually originated in the farmlands of eastern Pennsylvania.

First NYC Museum Exhibition on the Tradition of Spanish Draftsmanship Opens at the Frick Collection
Jusepe de Ribera (15911652), Studies of a Head in Profile, c. 1622. Chalk, 9 13/16 x 8 1/8 inches. Princeton University Art Museum. Museum purchase, Laura P. Hall Memorial Fund and Fowler McCormick, Class of 1921, Fund (2002-97)
Spanish drawings have been collected in New York and the surrounding area for more than a century. In fact, the exceptionally rich collections in The Metropolitan Museum of Art and The Hispanic Society of America make New York second only to Madrid in the depth and quality of its holdings. Remarkably, The Spanish Manner: Drawings from Ribera to Goya is the first museum exhibition to be held in this city devoted to the broad tradition of Spanish draftsmanship. With generous loans from The Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Hispanic Society of America, and extraordinary sheets from The Morgan Library & Museum, the Princeton University Art Museum, the Philadelphia Museum of Art, and individual collectors, this exhibition of more than fifty works presents a sampling of the rich, diverse legacy of the Spanish draftsman from the early seventeenth to the early nineteenth century. Included are rare sheets by Francisco Pacheco and Vicente Carducho, and a number of spectacular red chalk drawings by the celebrated draftsman Jusepe de Ribera. The exhibition continues with rapid sketches and painting-like wash drawings from the rich oeuvre of the Andalusian master Bartolomé Esteban Murillo, along with lively drawings by Francisco de Herrera the Elder and his son and the Madrid court artist Juan Carreño de Miranda, among others. The second part of the exhibition will present twenty-two sheets by the great draftsman Francisco de Goya, whose drawings are rarely studied in the illuminating context of the Spanish draftsmen who came before him. These works, mostly from his private albums, attest to the continuity between his thematic interests and those of his Spanish forebears, as well as to his enormously fertile imagination. The exhibition is organized by Jonathan Brown, Carroll and Milton Petrie Professor of Fine Arts, Institute of Fine Arts, New York University; Lisa A. Banner, independent scholar and expert on Spanish drawings; and Susan Grace Galassi, Senior Curator at The Frick Collection.
In his introductory essay to the exhibition catalogue, Jonathan Brown attributes the delay in focus on Spanish drawings to various factors. One has to do with a misperception. Some of the preeminent masters of Spains Golden Agesuch as El Greco, Velázquez, and Zurbaránpainted directly on the canvas and left behind few drawings. Their bypassing of the traditional means of developing a composition through preparatory studies led to an assumption that their contemporaries were not particularly interested in drawing. Yet, Professor Brown notes, the Golden Age artists deep investment in drawing is found not only in the substantial material evidence, but also in the texts of influential theorists who stressed its importance: Draw, speculate, and draw some more is the master painters directive to his student when asked what it takes to become a great painter in the 1634 treatise Diálogos de la Pintura by Vicente Carducho. The Royal Academy of San Fernando in Madrid was founded in 1752, and its curriculum placed drawing at the root of all artistic activity, a system of education that remained unchanged from Goyas time to Picassos. The relatively late interest in Spanish draftsmanship also has to do with the use of drawings on the Iberian Peninsula. In the seventeenth century, drawings were often bundled into lots at an artists death and bought by other artists as working material. They were frequently tacked up to walls as models for motifs, styles, and techniques, and many eventually disintegrated through rough handling. Furthermore, in seventeenth-century Spain there were few connoisseurs interested in preserving the work of their countrymen, although some collected drawings by Italian masters. It was not until the period of the Enlightenment that collectors of Spanish drawings emerged. Among the most notable were Gaspar Melchor de Jovellanos and Juan Agustín Ceán Bermúdez , who acquired drawings by earlier and contemporary Spanish masters; both were important patrons of Goya. The work of these pioneering collectors continues today, although tragic losses have occurred along the way. The collection of Ceán Bermúdez was dispersed after his death, and the historic Jovellanos collection was destroyed during the Spanish Civil War. Yet there is no dearth of examples of Spanish drawings, even if they are fewer in number than those of the Italian and Dutch schools.
The works selected for the exhibition reflect a bias for what the curators identify as a specifically Spanish manner of draftsmanship, which sets them apart from Italianate examples produced in Spain at the same time. Many Spanish artists traveled to Italy and acquired the principles of figure drawing and rules of perspective that emerged in Rome and Florence during the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, and Spanish theorists and academicians promoted classical ideals. Yet, as Brown notes, without the intellectual substratum of humanism in which these ideals were founded, artists from the Peninsula often took a more independent course, making use of classicism as one option among other representational modes. They developed original and idiosyncratic techniques, delved into a wide range of emotional experience, and freely departed from conventions of representing the human figureall components of this Spanish manner. The pull of the disciplined and rigorous system of classicism, and the freedom with which Spanish artists made use of and resisted it, plays out in a variety of ways in this selection.
An interesting case study is Vicente Carduchos large drawing, Martyrdom of Father Andrés, one of several preparatory drawings for a series of paintings at the Charterhouse of El Paular commemorating the lives of martyred Carthusian monks. This sheet depicts the torture and death of Father Andrés, who was taken prisoner by the Turks. In the foreground, the saint is hoisted on a pulley by his wrists, while his captors look on dispassionately, swords at the ready. Balanced groups of figures are arranged in a perspectival space, as if on a stage. Gestures and emotions are restrained; the saint appears to be levitating upward even as his body is wrenched downward, arms pulled from their sockets. Here, the artist makes use of aspects of the classical manner of representation to mitigate the directness of the emotional content of the work.
Unconventional subjects and original treatment of the human form are hallmarks of the work of Jusepe de Ribera, one of Spains greatest artists and a brilliant draftsman. Ribera spent most of his career in Naples, then under Spanish rule, supplying religious paintings for his ecclesiastical patrons. While drawing served a vital role in the preparatory stages of his commissioned work, he also used it as a release from the demands of his patrons to vent his prodigious imagination in flights of fantasy and inventive reworkings of the human body. In his unsettling and humorous Head of a Man with Little Figures on His Head, a man with malformed features is depicted bust length in profile, staring vacantly. He seems unaware of the tribe of happy, naked little menwho appear in many of Riberas drawingsswarming over his Phrygian cap, performing acrobatic feats. One of the most powerful works in this exhibition, Studies of a Head in Profile, demonstrates the extraordinary plasticity of Riberas imagination. Forged together in a profile of a mans head are four separate studies of his features. Ribera pits his powers of formal invention against his mastery of the conventions of naturalistic representation and his virtuoso handling of the red chalk medium, which gives his composite image a startling sense of realism.
The exhibition offers many beautiful examples of the use of chalk, but the Spanish draftsmans most characteristic medium, as Professor Brown notes, was pen and ink and wash: This technique flattened the forms, to be sure, but . . . the artists were able to discharge sizzling bolts of energy on the surface of the paper. Techniques of pen and ink varied from region to region in Spain according to the materials the artist used. As Lisa Banner describes, in Andalusia, reed pens made from native plants were favored for the particular quality of line they produced, while artists at the court of Madrid preferred quill pens. The flexibility of the reed made it possible to vary the thickness of each stroke to create effects of shading without the use of wash. Antonio del Castillo y Saavedra made use of a reed pen, as seen in his Four Heads of Men, one of forty sheets he made of heads seen from different points of view. Bartolomé Esteban Murillo was as influential a draftsman as he was a painter, and his works on paper were collected and prized in his lifetime. Along with his fellow Sevillian, Herrera the Younger (also represented in the exhibition), Murillo founded an informal drawing academy in 1660 to improve the standards of draftsmanship in their native city. The six works included in this show demonstrate his technical versatility and expressive range, from rapid first thoughts for a composition to works that may be considered monochromatic paintings. Murillos pen and ink drawing Standing Man Holding a Hat reveals in all its looseness and haste the sureness of the artists vision acquired over a lifetime. There are few portraits in Murillos work, and none that correspond to this drawing. In this impetuous tangle of lines, he conveys a powerful and immediate impression of his stout subject standing in a swagger pose. Very different in style is the work of the eighteenth-century Zaragoza master Francisco Bayeu, whose life and career overlapped with his brother-in-law and fellow townsman Francisco de Goya y Lucientes. Bayeu was selected by the celebrated painter Anton Raphael Mengs to be his assistant. He rose quickly to fame and official positions, eventually attaining the rank of royal painter and director of the Royal Academy. The spirit of eighteenth-century European neoclassical art is apparent in his Dove of the Holy Spirit, a preparatory drawing for his magnum opus, a ceiling fresco for the Basilica de Nuestra Señora del Pilar in Zaragoza.
The work of one of the worlds most brilliant and prolific draftsmen, Francisco de Goya y Lucientes (17461828), brings the exhibition full circle, and back to the Frick, which houses four paintings by the master and one drawing. Goyas work has long been revered, and several exhibitions in the New York area have been dedicated to his career. Rarely, however, have his drawings appeared in the context of those of his Spanish predecessors, as they do here. Goyas highly original drawings, remarkable for their freedom, expressiveness, and range of subject matter, represent the culmination in the nineteenth century of the Spanish manner. Goya did not have as swift an ascent to official recognition as did his brother-in-law Francisco Bayeu, though he quickly surpassed him. Goya studied with a local master in Zaragoza and completed his education with a trip to Italy in 177071. His notebooks from the trip reveal his familiarity with the classical system of representation. Back at home, he assisted Bayeu on commissions for frescoes and as a designer of cartoons for tapestries for the many royal residences. Appointed Painter to the King in 1786, he served Charles III, Charles IV, and Ferdinand VII, as well as the occupying French king, Joseph Bonaparte, and earned a reputation among aristocrats and members of the Enlightenment as a brilliant portraitist. As Director of Painting at the Royal Academy of San Fernando, he was asked by the king in 1792 to evaluate the state of the curriculum. Goya showed his independence by delivering a scathing attack on the academys formulaic approach to education and set forth his credo of artistic freedom, stressing the role of imagination and invention, declaring there are no rules in painting. Illness left Goya deaf at age forty-two, an experience that altered the course of his art. He began to sketch for his own pleasure and created eight cycles of drawings, which have been described as albums. They were made over thirty years against a backdrop of continuous war, suffering, repression, deprivation, and fear instilled in citizens by the Inquisitionall of which fueled Goyas fertile imagination as revealed particularly in his graphic work. Eight of these albums were inherited by his only child, Javier, who rearranged them; after Javiers death, they were broken up and dispersed by his son, Mariano, the artists only grandchild. Scholars have looked at these private works as a form of Goyas talking to himself. He also made drawings as preparatory studies for work in other media. All but one of the twenty-two sheets by Goya in this exhibition are from these eight albums, six of which are represented.
The Anglers, a drawing in The Frick Collection from Album F, demonstrates Goyas use of improvisation. He began the drawing on a sheet of paper covered with writing at the top that pertains to a financial matter dating from many years earlier. Goyas reuse of the sheet was clearly not motivated by wartime shortages of paper, as some have suggestedotherwise he would have used the clean reverse sidebut by a desire to spur his imagination with the marking. He dragged his brush down the side of the paper, creating a kind of enclosure or stage on which his actors will appear. From improvisation, we turn to another aspect of Goyas visual thinking: the working out of a multipart composition. Three Men Digging from Album F, has long been connected with Goyas oil painting The Forge of 18151820 in The Frick Collection. When beginning The Forge, Goya may have looked back through his stock of drawings and found in this sheet a solution for the interrelation of the three iron workers. He imports the trio of diggers into the painting, moving them indoors and giving them new implements and identities. In the transference, however, he retains the central feature of the drawingthe rising and falling of their bodies in unison.
Goya is perhaps best known for his depictions of the unimaginable horror of mans inhumanity to man. This is bleakly and directly expressed in a drawing made during his years of exile in Bordeaux between 1824 and 1828, the year of his death. A figuredead or aliveis hung up in a sack-like form suspended from a hook on a wall. The delicately rendered head of an old man protrudes from one side, and his legs from the bottom. The work bears the legend that may be translated as He Appeared Like This, Mutilated, in Zaragoza, Early in 1700. In old age, Goya apparently drew from an amalgam of fact and legend, creating what, as Professor Reva Wolf proposes, might be considered a historical counterpart to his series of prints, the Disasters of War, made in the 1810s during the French occupation of Spain. The theme, however, is at the core of Goyas arthuman brutality in the name of religion and/or patriotism. It is instructive to compare this modern image to that of another theme in which a man is tortured: Vicente Carduchos Martyrdom of Father Andrés, discussed earlier. In Goyas image, the classical apparatus has been removedthe stagelike setting, perspective, narrative, action, and timeto concentrate on one figure alone and to convey directly the horror through the visual properties of shape and weight.
Yet Goyas art was not unremittingly dark. The drawings on view show the many facets of his personality and his keen powers of observation, translated into quick takes rendered with economy and precision. As intrinsic to his worldview are his buoyancy, tenderness, and love of the absurd, revealed in the many drawings in which he invites us to laugh with him at the comédie humaine. This he does in his superbly fluid brush and ink drawing Regozijo (Mirth), in which an aging pair, castanets in hand, ascend upward, carried away by music and their levity, and the rhythms of Goyas hand. As compared with the art of his predecessors, Goyas is more unencumbered and directmore modern. Yet in ways that may not have been fully appreciated until his drawings could be seen within the context of those of his compatriots, as they are here, it is also a distillation of a particularly fertile, inventive, and original form of draftsmanship that developed on the Iberian Peninsula, the Spanish manner.

As many folks know, the Perl Foundation Grant Committee is responsible for awarding and managing grants to improve the Perl language and benefit the Perl community. What many don't know is how this works.
First, I'm Curtis "Ovid" Poe. You may have encountered me on Perlmonks or used some of my CPAN modules. I currently sit on the Perl Foundation steering committee and I'm the grant secretary for the grant committee. I was elected to the latter position after serving a couple of years as a grant manager. During that time, I oversaw grants for Maypole, Annocpan, PPI and many other projects. Without funding from the Perl Foundation, many of these projects may have been much smaller in scope or never existed.
You can also read a bit about our charter. This basically explains what we are, how we're chosen and the reporting we should handle. What you probably want to know, though, are our rules of operation. These explain how we actually award and manage grants. Because the grant committee is responsible for money, some of our rules are a bit stricter than others. For example, no sitting member of the grant committee may receive non-travel grants by the Foundation. This is to help avoid conflict of interest.
Grant applications are reviewed and voted on 4 times a year. When that time comes, I send out email to the grant committee letting them know of an upcoming round of voting and the deadline for votes. Each grant application is included in a separate email with a "voting slip":
If a grant is approved (by a simple majority but 2/3 of the members must vote) I notify the grantee and assign a grant manager. A few final details usually need to get nailed down and then we award half of the money up front and half on delivery. The grant manager generally has the final say as to whether or not a grant has been successfully completed. Sometimes the grant recipient does not complete everything but the money still gets awarded. This is to handle common situations where instead of writing an article for Perl.com, they write one for IBM Developer Works. Instead of attending OSCON and giving a presentation for their software, they go to YAPC::EU instead. Our main objective isn't to force someone into a rigid contract. Our main objective is to be fair.
And on a personal note, I find it a bit sad that some otherwise wonderful grants get rejected for common reasons:
- No grant amount listed.
- No evidence that they applicant is in contact with the maintainer of the software they want to work on.
- Worthwhile goal but the details seem fuzzy or unrealistic.
As for the touchy subject of "grant amount", grant awards are typically in the $500.00 to $5000.00 range. The higher the amount requested, the more likely the grant will be rejected unless the goal is very worthwhile and we have confidence the recipient can handle it (unfortunately, this means that unknown recipients are less likely to get awarded large grants).
Further, as a general rule of thumb, you can expect to not earn market rate for a grant. While there are exceptions made, if you charge $120.00 and hour and your project should take two fourty-hour weeks, we probably aren't going to pay you $9,600.00 (120 × 80) unless it's for something extraordinary. We are spending money that people and companies donate to the Perl Foundation and we must be extremely careful about the conditions under which we award grants.
Well, that about sums up this introductory entry. In the future, I'll be posting more about our day to day activities. I hope this has shed a bit of light on what we do and why.
