CHARITY:
The Foundation For Sight and Sound, Help America Hear Program.
The Denver International Wine Festival is pleased to announce that in 2010, we will again partner with The Foundation For Sight and Sound, a 501(c)3 non profit organization and their Help America Hear Program, which provides hearing aides to disadvantaged people with a hearing disability.
The 2010 Denver International Wine Festival will donate a portion of ticket sales and 100% of the proceeds of all silent and live auctions to the Foundation for Sight and Sound.
The Help America Hear Program was created in January 2009 and has since fitted 120 men, women & children nationwide with hearing aids. With the minimum cost of a hearing aid averaging $2,000, many individuals are unable
to afford this necessary tool for improving their quality of life.
DENVER HEARING AID MISSION
On Wednesday November 3, 2010 the Foundation For Sight & Sound's Help America Hear Program will be fitting 11 Denver area residents with hearing aids. This Hearing Medical Mission will take place at the Lakewood Hearing & Speech Center, 3110 S Wadsworth Blvd, Suite # 107, Lakewood, CO 80227 at 10:00 am.
Randall D. Smith, co-founder and president, a hearing instruments specialist, is assisting with Mitchell Shapiro & Dave Carr, the co-founders of the Help America Hear Program in fitting the recipients.

Lights, Camera, Champagne! Gordon Atlantic Development Corporation Considers Motion Picture Studio Site Near Reims, France for Champagne Studios
2010-10-22
Gordon Atlantic Development Corporation is considering the location for a motion picture facility near the Champagne-Ardenne TGV train station in Bezannes, France located approximately 3 miles (5 km) from Reims. The motion picture facility will be named "Champagne Studios". Gordon Atlantic Development Corporation envisions a facility similar to that of Albuquerque Studios, Albuquerque, New Mexico, (Terminator Salvation, and The Book of Eli) with an initial 100,000 square feet (10,000 square metres) studio facility, and other buildings to follow in a phase-in plan. Gordon ...
New theory links depression to chronic brain inflammation
2010-10-21
Chronic depression is an adaptive, reparative neurobiological process gone wrong, say two University of California, San Diego School of Medicine researchers, positing in a new theory that the debilitating mental state originates from more ancient mechanisms used by the body to deal with physical injury, such as pain, tissue repair and convalescent behavior.
In a paper published in the September online edition of Neuroscience and Biobehavioral Review, Athina Markou, PhD, professor of psychiatry, and Karen Wager-Smith, a post-doctoral researcher, integrate evidence from ...
Mounting research shows increased health risks from volcanic air pollution
2010-10-21
RENO, Nev. – Kilauea Volcano on Hawaii's big island has been erupting on its east rift since 1983. But, in March 2008, an additional eruption vent opened at the volcano's summit, resulting in about triple the amount of sulfur dioxide gas (SO2) emissions drifting to the local community of Ka'u, raising health concerns over the risks associated with exposure to "vog," as the islanders refer to this volcanic air pollution.
A University of Nevada, Reno researcher seized the opportunity to build upon her previous research of health risks associated with exposure to vog. Bernadette ...
Elusive protein may lead the fight against inflammatory disease
2010-10-21
A husband and wife research team from Melbourne, Australia, have identified a protein that may be a key
therapy for many inflammatory diseases, including those affecting premature babies.
In the October edition of Nature Immunology, Drs Marcel and Claudia Nold, from the Monash Institute of Medical
Research, describe how a protein, interleukin 37 (IL‐37), reacts when an inflammatory response is detected in the
body.
"Our bodies mount an inflammatory response to protect against an infection, such as bacteria or viruses.
However, if uncontrolled, inflammation ...
Worst coral death strikes at SE Asia
2010-10-21
International marine scientists say that a huge coral death which has struck Southeast Asian and Indian Ocean reefs over recent months has highlighted the urgency of controlling global carbon emissions.
Many reefs are dead or dying across the Indian Ocean and into the Coral Triangle following a bleaching event that extends from the Seychelles in the west to Sulawesi and the Philippines in the east and include reefs in Sri Lanka, Burma, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, and many sites in western and eastern Indonesia.
"It is certainly the worst coral die-off we have seen ...
University of Virginia chemical engineers use gold to discover breakthrough for creating biorenewable chemicals
2010-10-21
October 19, 2010 — University of Virginia chemical engineers Robert J. Davis and Matthew Neurock have uncovered the key features that control the high reactivity of gold nanoparticles in a process that oxidizes alcohols in water. The research is an important first step in unlocking the potential of using metal catalysts for developing biorenewable chemicals.
The scientific discovery could one day serve as the foundation for creating a wide range of consumer products from biorenewable carbon feedstocks, as opposed to the petroleum-based chemicals currently being used as ...
Short-range scattering in quantum dots
2010-10-21
Washington, D.C. (October 19, 2010) -- Chinese researchers, reporting in the Journal of Applied Physics, published by the American Institute of Physics, have described a new breakthrough in understanding the way electrons travel around quantum dots. This might lead to promising new fabrication methods of novel quantum devices.
Guodong Li and colleagues at the National Center for Nanoscience and Technology in Beijing carried out an experiment using self-assembled quantum dots and a two-dimensional electron gas, and then fit the data to a model to find out the type of ...
A forest of nanorods
2010-10-21
WASHINGTON, D.C., (Oct. 20, 2010) -- Just as landscape photographs shot in low-angle light dramatically accentuate subtle swales and mounds, depositing metal vapors at glancing angles turns a rough surface into amazing nanostructures with a vast range of potential properties.
For decades, vapor deposition has been a standard technique for creating modern microelectronic circuits. But nearly all of industry's efforts have been devoted to making structures as flat and smooth as possible. Rather than placing metal sources in the high-noon position used to make featureless ...
'Lubricin' molecule discovered to reduce cartilage wear
2010-10-21
WASHINGTON, D.C., (Oct. 20, 2010) -- A team of researchers in North Carolina has discovered that lubricin, a synovial fluid glycoprotein, reduces wear to bone cartilage. This result, which has implications for the treatment of sufferers of osteoarthritis, will be presented today at the AVS 57th International Symposium & Exhibition, taking place this week at the Albuquerque Convention Center in New Mexico.
Osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis, the degenerative joint disease. It mostly affects cartilage, the slippery tissue that covers the ends of bones ...
Measuring changes in rock
2010-10-21
WASHINGTON, D.C., (Oct. 20, 2010) -- The capture and storage of carbon dioxide in deep geologic formations, a strategy for minimizing the impacts of greenhouse gases on global warming, may currently be technologically feasible. But one key question that must be answered is the ability of subsurface materials to maintain their integrity in the presence of supercritical carbon dioxide -- a fluid state in which the gas is condensed at high temperature and pressure into a liquid.
A research team at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory has developed tools in EMSL, a ...
