M. vi 8 Foreword As Americans, we live in a heterogeneous society. That, I think, is the Donald E. Sands special strength of our country. This nation cannot prosper and may not survive, Vice Chancellor for however, unless all groups, races, and cultures participate in its most important Academic Affairs work - the education of its youth. Black children need black teachers and they 'University of need white teachers. And so do white children. Teachers are the role models, Kentucy the patterns of success, the images of respect. They are also the bridge to cultural understanding, which is so vital to whether or not such a diverse society as ours can endure. We are not doing well at the college level in recruiting and retaining minority students. We are also falling further behind in recruiting and retaining minority faculty. Higher education cannot prepare the faculty for the next generation if we do not get the students now, and we cannot get the students into college if they are dropping out of high school. This conference was organized as a step toward addressing these complex issues. The meeting focused on the recruitment and retention of minorities In teacher education, but the knowledge and understanding gained in these discussions is rolevant to ail facets of education, and indeed to all of society. 111=4561.1. The issue of minority recruitment is of crucial importance to us as David Affen today's educators. The Kentucky Education Association is proud to participate President of the and to co-sponsor this conference. Kent uc4 Education The members of the teaching profession firmly believe that the forecasts Association for minority shortages in teaching must not be allowed to occur. For indeed, should such a shortage occur,.the impact will be greatest on the minority child. We believe that shortages in the profession can best be averted by granting classroom teachers the autonomy they deserve and by setting salaries commensurate with their training and competitive with comparable careers.

Holman, Ph.D.1 1Office of Science, Center for Tobacco Products, United States Food and Drug Administration, Silver Spring, MD 20993 2Tobacco Products Laboratory, National Center for Environmental Health, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Atlanta, GA Abstract Introduction—In 2011 menthol cigarettes accounted for 32 percent of the market in the United States, but there are few literature reports that provide measured menthol data for commercial cigarettes. To assess current menthol application levels in the U.S. cigarette market, menthol levels in cigarettes labeled or not labeled to contain menthol was determined for a variety of contemporary domestic cigarette products. Method—We measured the menthol content of 45whole cigarettes using a validated gas chromatography/mass spectrometry method (GC/MS). Results—In 23 cigarette brands labeled as menthol products, the menthol levels of the whole cigarette ranged from 2.9 to 19.6 mg/cigarette, with three products having higher levels of menthol relative to the other menthol products. The menthol levels for 22 cigarette products not labeled to contain menthol ranged from 0.002 to 0.07 mg/cigarette.

ABSTRACT It is currently unknown how cigarette smoke-induced airway remodelling affects highly expressed respiratory epithelial defence proteins and thereby mucosal host defence. Localisation of a selected set of highly expressed respiratory epithelial host defence proteins was assessed in well-differentiated primary bronchial epithelial cell (PBEC) cultures. Next, PBEC were cultured at the air–liquid interface, and during differentiation for 2–3 weeks exposed daily to whole cigarette smoke. Gene expression, protein levels and epithelial cell markers were subsequently assessed. In addition, functional activities and persistence of the cigarette smoke-induced effects upon cessation were determined.

Lexington ranks as one of the safest cities of its size in the country, thanks to our hard- working police officers.

Since the start of 2011, we have invested almost $1.5 billion in public safety, and that’s a 22% increase over five years.
