Q: What is the Centralized Criminal Background Check (CBC) Service?
A: The American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy (AACP) recommends that all US pharmacy degree programs procure a national background check on you upon your initial, conditional acceptance to a pharmacy degree program. The rationale for performing criminal background checks on accepted pharmacy degree program applicants is based on a number of issues, including 1) the need to enhance the safety and well-being of patients and, in so doing, to bolster the public's continuing trust in the pharmacy profession, and 2) to ascertain the ability of accepted applicants to complete their pharmacy education and eventually become licensed pharmacists.
In support of this recommendation, AACP has initiated a PharmCAS-facilitated national background check service, through which Certiphi Screening, Inc. (a Vertical Screen® Company) will procure a national background report on applicants at the point of acceptance. AACP has initiated this new service in order to recognize the desire of pharmacy degree programs to procure appropriate national criminal history reports, and to prevent applicants from paying additional fees at each pharmacy degree program to which they are accepted.

Q: If I designate a CBC participating degree program do I have to have a criminal background check?
A: Pharmacy degree programs may require criminal background checks and/or drug tests in order to verify and individual's suitability to participate in experiential education rotations, to confirm a student's eligibility for pharmacy licensure, and to ensure patient safety. If you designate at least one pharmacy degree program that is participating in the PharmCAS-facilitated national background check service, you will be required to submit to a national background report at the point of initial, conditional acceptance. Please note that the requesting degree program will be notified if consent is not provided, and that failure to provide consent may result in failing to meet the requesting degree program's admissions requirements. Many pharmacy degree programs not participating in our new service during this year may also require applicants to undergo a separate national background check process. Contact your designated pharmacy degree programs directly for specific policies.
Q: If I designate a degree program NOT participating in the CBC Program do I have to have a criminal background check?
A: Many pharmacy degree programs not participating in our CBC service during this year may also require applicants to undergo a separate national background check process. Contact your designated pharmacy schools directly for specific policies.
Q: What does the background check include?
A: Below you will find a search by search description of each check to be facilitated by AACP, and conducted by AACP's selected vendor, in support of the AACP centralized criminal background check solution. Note that all criminal history searches will be conducted in order to collect criminal history as follows.
- Social Security Number Search
- A search of credit report header data to help confirm the applicant's identifying information such as name, aliases, address(es), Social Security Number and to determine areas of prior residence.
- County Criminal Records Searches
- A direct search of county courthouse records for any felony or misdemeanor criminal history. All records are researched to help ensure positive identification and complete, easy-to-read details.
- Statewide Criminal Records Search
- A search conducted through statewide criminal records repositories or court systems for any felony or misdemeanor criminal history.
- Federal Criminal Records Search
- A direct search of federal courthouse records for any felony or misdemeanor criminal history. All records are researched to help ensure positive identification and complete, easy-to-read details.
- National Criminal Database Search
- This search is an instant, multi-jurisdiction private database search covering more than 194 million criminal records collected from across the country. All database "hits" are verified directly through the source of information to ensure that records reported are current and up-to-date.
- National Sexual Offender Database Search
- A search of a national private database which contains sex offender data collected from across the country. All records are researched to help ensure positive identification.
- US Department of Health and Human Services Office of Inspector General List of Excluded Individuals/Entities Search
- A search of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office of Inspector General List of Excluded Individuals/Entities (LEIE), a database which provides information to the public, health care providers, patients, and others relating to parties excluded from participation in the Medicare, Medicaid, and all Federal health care programs.
- Search for Dishonorable Discharge from the Armed Forces
- Military records are verified through either telephone interviews with the subject's former commander or by obtaining the applicant's DD-214 form. Verification generally includes subject's name, Service Number, rank, dates of service, awards and decorations, and place of entrance and separation.
- International Screening
- International criminal records searches are performed where applicable.
- SanctionsBase Screening
- A search covering sanctions, disciplinary and administrative actions taken by hundreds of federal and state healthcare regulatory authorities, including FDA, NIH, GSA, OFAC, terrorist watch lists and more.
Q: What is the background check process?
A: Upon your initial, conditional acceptance by a participating pharmacy degree program, Certiphi Screening, Inc. will send an email to the preferred email address you entered in your PharmCAS application. This email will provide you with access to a secure, online form via which you will provide basic identifying information and consent for this report to be procured. Your consent will serve for all participating pharmacy degree programs, and you will not be asked to provide consent upon receiving additional, conditional acceptance offers by participating pharmacy degree programs.
Once you have provided consent, Certiphi Screening, Inc. will procure a national background check on you (Background Check Details).Once the report is complete, Certiphi Screening, Inc. will send an email to your preferred email address requesting that you review the report prior to its distribution. Upon receiving this email:
- You will have ten (10) calendar days from the date this email is sent to review your report prior to this report being made available to the participating pharmacy degree programs which request this report. If you do not review this report, the report will be distributed after this period elapses.
- You will be provided with an opportunity to contest the accuracy of the contents of the report within the specified ten (10) calendar day period.
Once you have reviewed and released this report, or after the specified ten (10) calendar day period has elapsed, the procured report on you will be made available to the participating pharmacy degree programs which offered an acceptance and initiated a request for this report.
Additional Notes:
The report procured during this process will not be released to any party other than the pharmacy degree programs requesting this report.

That leve 42 axe or something that dropped in Hinterlands. Gave a chance for a extra hit. Got i was hyped when i got it off a random troll.
I walked by a puny Mob in Silithus or Un'goro, I'm not sure. I killed it with my holy paladin and this beauty dropped.
I was so fuckin excited, I didn't had much of a clue back then and fuck yes, I loved using it, smacking my foes as Holy Melee awesome epic Paladin
"Why do we fight? To protect home and family, to preserve balance and bring harmony. For my kind the true question is, what is worth fighting for?"
Gloves of Holy Might, dropped off a buzzard in the badlands.
Unfortunately it was a warlock, so could not wear the leather gloves.
Giantstalker's Belt, I was one of the 10-12 people that were rotated in after my guild had MC on farm
It was a caster staff though it had spirit on it. Got it while out in the Hinterlands... specifically from the end quest at the Alter of Zul (Note that this is the BC set of quests and not the revamped Cata version). Felt good, even if I ended up not using it and gave it to a priest friend who needed it more than I did.
Nightslayer pants from my first MC run...I was soooo amazed I had an epic, I spent over an hour just looking at them once the raid had ended.
It might have been the icemail jerkin. Though I can't exactly say for sure. That is the only thing that rings a bell though. I believe it was off a gorilla in STV. No clue if it drops from them anymore or not since the whole revamp during Cata.

First epic i ever got was Stockade Pauldrons i got them for 40g off a friend
The difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits, whereas stupidity does not...
Gloving Brightwoof staff
One of the felheart trash drops, can't remember which one at this point.
Q: Where the fuck is Xia Xia, SIU?!?!
A1: She needs to start making eggs for Easter...
A2: Drunk and sleeping somewhere.
The mighty Flurry Axe!
I had a DW arms/fury hybrid, and I used this together with Thrash blade for those sweet procs.
I was lvl 52 or something at the time I got this.
I remember one of the top warriors in my realm, lvl60 ofc, was standing over my dead body in tarren mill and made fun of my gear.
Must have been fun wearing some MC gear and the arcanite reaper back in those days..
Well, got my ice barbed spear soon after.
What an upgrade!
Mother pus bucket!
So long ago... Probably 1 of the BG faction rep items or something from MC. Psure I had something from there before I ranked up enough for Warlord's Regalia.

Wow, excellent article Madin. This answers a lot of things I've been wondering about the formats.
March, 2047. A massive nuclear fireball explodes high in the night sky, marking the dramatic beginning to the Third Tiberium War. The infamous Kane has returned to lead the Brotherhood of Nod in a massive global assault on the Global Defense Initiative and the few remaining Blue zones left on the planet. Only you can stop him. The fate of humanity – and the planet – is in your hands.
A quick look at what the effects of the various texture formats that C&C3 can use will do for your texture!
Posted by Madin on Aug 24th, 2013
Basic Textures.
8:1 compression (file size 171kb, TGA 769kb).
This is surprisingly bad. Firstly you can see how the DXT compression has done a good job with all of the texture with the exception of the stars.
DXT3 & DXT5 (4:1 compression, both 342kb) do not do any better when it comes to fixing the compression artefacts generated by the star area.
Unless you are using an alpha channel, there's mostly no point in choosing anything other than DXT1 (unless you specify via code, the default format that the compiler compresses textures to is DXT1. If it detects a 1bit alpha it will choose DXT1A, if it detects an 8bit alpha channel it will choose DXT3 or DXT5).
This is actually not too bad either. Small, single colour details will often show the kind of compression artefacts that the arrows point too, but this is often not so big a deal.
Where I have found the most issues is with the house colour channel of the specular map (especially the Nod specular map). If you get compression artefacts on the borders of the house colour, then things can look quite unsightly (you can spot this in standard C&C3 art if you know what to look for).
I would certainly recommend checking to see how the house colour will look with DXT compression (the C&C3 shaders in 3D max have a house colour preview) to see whether any adjustments are needed to minimise the impact of house colour artefacts.
(There are no significant improvements with DXT3 or DXT5, you might has well use DXT1 for specular maps if you do not mind the compression issues).
Where DXT is truly rubbish is with normal maps.
They almost never fail to wreck them in some manner. The above is typical of what DXT compression does to a normal map. Has well has the random destruction of diagonal lines, it can also randomly wreck even straight lines. DXT compression is well known for the issues that it has with normal maps (to be fair efforts were made to improve this by having a DXT format that was specifically designed for normal maps, DXT5_NM, but since C&C3 does not recognise it, it is not relevant for this presentation).
The arrow that has the letter A in brackets close by, is pointing out another common compression artefact issue. These darker blobs will show up quite strongly in the specular map, provided that the right ( or wrong! ) camera angle is seen.
If you want to see an in-game example of DXT normal compression issues than study the GDI war-factory door.
Once again DXT3 & DXT5 makes no noticeable difference.
The best way to avoid noticing the normal map issues that DXT compression causes is to not look for it in the first place! Once you know what to look for you will spot it readily on the texture and in turn you will spot it easily in game.
The 5:5:5 format is not an image compression format but a bit reduction format. Which is to say that it recreates your texture using less colours... a lot less colours (5bits per channel, instead of 8bits).
No issues with the star decal!
A look at the above and you can overall see how much lower quality the texture is in the darker area. You can see banding in various areas of the texture, I highlighted one easily spotted area, and because of the file size (683kb) this is simply not worthwhile for this type of texture.
Indeed I struggle to think of a situation where this format would be useful. I suppose if you had a very cartoon like texture that did not have a lot of colour variation, and DXT compression was destroying it with colour bleed and artefacts, then maybe this could be useful? but even then it is a relatively large texture file so surely you may has well go with the 24bit options?
The above specular is not making use of the blue channel at all has you can probably tell, and because of how noisy the texture is, it is difficult to tell if there is any banding issues.
There is a slight hue difference, with the 24bit TGA being slightly more orange, which would indicate that there is a difference in the green channel between the 5:5:5 and the TGA. So let us investigate that further.
What the hell is that? (View original to see the full horror!)
Again that is surprisingly bad. It must be said that I could still hardly make out any difference in the red channel (probably due to the noise), but that is a destruction of the green channel!
I can see nothing to recommend using this format for the specular map at all.
Pretty poor has expected, yet it is important to note that it does not destroy diagonals, unlike DXT compression.
There is also once again a slight overall hue shift, so this will not do for normal maps at all.
The above was done so you could see all the textures working together on the model instead of separate 2d images.
It does not help that the lighting is at a different angle for the uncompressed 32bit image (X8R8G8B8), but you can still get a quick look at the differences of the formats (it helps if you are viewing their original size). For example you can see how awful DXT compressed normal panel lines are and all the specular compression artefacts they add. You can see how the 5:5:5 format creates a texture with less detail (in terms of colour variation). You can also see the small differences between DXT1 & DXT5 compression.
Here are the formats that C&C3 supports:
DXT1 = Compresses image at 8:1 ratio (file size of 512x512 = 171kb)
DXT1A = Same has above but with a 1bit alpha channel (only black or white, file size of 512x512 = 171kb )
DXT3 = Compresses image at 4:1 ratio, supports an 8bit alpha if necessary (file size of 512x512 = 342kb)
DXT5 = Same has DXT3, but supports an interpolated 8bit alpha (file size of 512x512 = 342kb)
R5G5B5 = Uses 5bits each for the RGB channels, no alpha channel supported (file size of 512x512 = 683kb)
X8R8G8B8 = 32bit, but there is no support for 8bit alpha (file size of 512x512 = 1,366kb!)
A8R8G8B8 = Same has X8R8G8B8, but includes full support for an 8bit alpha channel (file size of 512x512 = 1,366kb!)
Some notes about the above list
There is no point ever using DXT3 in my opinion has the only thing it provides is worse alpha channel support. Here it is important to specify on your texture xml code that you want DXT5 specifically (If you leave it up to the compiler it will probably choose DXT5 if it detects an 8bit alpha).
For whatever bizarre reason, the engine developers did not include the R8G8B8 format which would have created a smaller (1,025kb) file size then the X8G8R8B8 file, which essentially waste 8bits.
If you go to 1024x1024 the file size jumps to 5,462kb!, so care is needed if using either of the 32bit uncompressed formats that C&C3 supports, because texture memory usage could become an issue.
Generally speaking you want to be using DXT1 most of the time, using DXT1A if you are going to use the alpha channel to make certain parts of your model invisible (alpha test option), or DXT5 if you are using the alpha channels with greyscale.
The 32bit uncompressed formats are a luxury whose use you would want to limit for special items (has a small mod maker I admit that I use far more than I really should!).
From an artistic point of view it is important that you preview your texture in the format that you intend on using, while you are making it, if you want the best results. This will allow you to attempt to compensate for the various issues that the compressed formats bring to your texture, instead of being 'surprised' by the compilers conversion of your texture!
Do not forget to add the appropriate 'OutputFormat' code to your texture xml so the compiler is not making the format choice, you are!
For example:
<Texture id="SASpyPlane" File="SASpyPlane.dds" OutputFormat="X8R8G8B8"/>
The reason that I often work with 24bit & 32bit targas, is that I find that Nvidia's dds plugin does not work well with Photoshop actions (using a single button to preform a recorded task that normally takes multiple clicks, I use it to flatten the psd for previewing the texture on a model in 3d Max).
PS: This article can be reproduced anywhere in any language has long has the correct credit is given.

Wow, excellent article Madin. This answers a lot of things I've been wondering about the formats.
When is the update coming for the formats?
Чесно. Я никогда не долюбливал формат DDS, по моногим причинам. И вот теперь, плюс ещё одна причина не долюбливать этот формат.
How do I add TGA (tiled textures) to a MOD.
Terrain.ini is in;
Mod.XML has the line;
Include type="all" source="DATA:CnC5Beta/Data/ini/terrain.ini"
but the terrains isn't taking to the MOD, why not?

Alan learned in" Doctor
Empathy," "eat less, exercise more" may not be the
most appealing advice, but it is the most effective way to
lose weight. Or is it? One doctor noticed some of his patients
simply could not shed pounds, despite eating as little as
800 calories a day. The truth behind this paradox turned out
to be quite simple, but the implications -for dieters and
doctors alike- are profound.
- - - - - - - - - - -
out of every three adult Americans is obese- 25 percent above
the optimal body weight- and the numbers are climbing ever
higher. Associated with heart disease, stroke, cancer and
diabetes, obesity is linked with some 300,000 preventable
deaths and costs an estimated $165 billion in health care
and lost productivity.
as America's collective waistline has grown, so has scientific
understanding of the genetics, biochemistry and even psychology
that regulate weight gain and loss. Despite the public's love
affair with pills and powders and other "miracle" diets, the
data keep telling us to simply eat less, move more.
Dr. Steven Heymsfield, an obesity specialist at St. Luke's-Roosevelt
Hospital Center in New York City, found one group of people
for whom the "eat-less-move-more" mantra did not work. Heymsfield's
patients were keeping food records as part of standard obesity
treatment. Despite reporting daily caloric intakes as low
as 800 calories a day (a 150-pound person requires at least
1500 calories per day) these patients weren't losing an ounce
of body fat. What was going on?
saw so many people telling us they didn't over eat," says
Heymsfield. "Yet their weight didn't drop. This clinical observation
prompted a study."
had twenty seemingly weight-loss-resistant patients consume
isotope-laced water that would allow researchers to track
exactly how many calories each patient expended. If someone
eats fewer calories than he or she expends, weight loss occurs.
If that person consumes more, weight gain happens. Therefore,
someone who has exerted 3000 calories, but does not show any
weight loss on the scale, must necessarily have eaten 3000
calories as well. But Heymsfield did not tell his patients
what the water was for. Without knowing that the special water
would essentially double-check their accuracy, the patients
kept their usual food diaries for two weeks before returning
to Heymsfield's clinic.

There's a more interesting wrong-way concurrency in Wytheville Virginia. I have a temp photo of it on my website. I'm unable to post it on Panoramio since it's not actually mine, but you can see it on my site by clicking on the link below. I haven't had a chance to get to Wytheville to take a shot myself, but may be able to do so within the next few weeks. It's about a three hour drive from where I am. Anyways, here is the link below...
Needless to say as a "darn furuner" I was most bewildered by this sign when I first landed on these shores. It took a while for me to understand.
Thanks for including in your collection.
You're welcome. There's another set in Wytheville, Virginia which I still need to get. You may have noticed the link above to the file image. I plan on going up that way within the next few weeks, so hopefully, I can get a shot for myself.
LOL, great picture. I think I have passed by this very sign, and not noticed that I was entering a black hole!
Thanks, but a wrong-way concurrency no more. U.S. Highway 421 got moved over to the Interstate 85 and Interstate 40 Bypasses.

David Ignatius: Tug of war over Syria's future
Frederic Hof, who until recently was the U.S. special adviser for transition in Syria, said in a telephone interview from Europe Monday that internecine opposition politics were a sign that the U.S. should support a serious transitional government on the ground inside Syria and "get away from the pushing and shoving of an opposition movement." Without such a substantial goal, he said, "the trivial will trump the important every time" in opposition debates.
Critics of President Obama's low-key stance policy on Syria would argue that the opposition wrangling illustrates what happens when the U.S. leaves policy to headstrong allies. The White House could counter that the opposition fracas shows what a mess Syria is – and why the U.S. is wise to keep its distance.
The dangerous aspect of the ascendancy of Qatar and Turkey is that they are driving the Arab revolutions further toward Islamist governance. "Do you want to hand post-Bashar Syria to the Muslim Brotherhood?" asks one prominent Arab diplomat. Like many in the Arab world, he fears that the Brotherhood is now inexorably on the march toward regional hegemony.
Ignatius' email address is email@example.com.

Cleansing Techniques and Caring for your crystals
Visualisation - during the Cleansing you should focus all your energy of seeing in your mind's eye the unwanted energy being released by the crystal, and rejoining All Universal Energy, being recycled back into positivity.
There are many different ways of cleansing your crystals / anything / anyone - and all relate to one or more of the four main elements. All cleansing methods harbour the power of Mother Nature, to rid the stone from any impurities or negativity it may have been subjected to. This allows them to reset : to vibrate at their optimum and purest frequency. These powerful Mother Earth cleansing energies can aid and re-balance our healing, and our healing allies.
Crystals connect with the energy that they are around and they carry a vibration, – therefore before and after healing work with a crystal or lending it to a friend, stones should be cleansed. They can be so sympathetic and helpful in any given situation, that they absorb something of that situation - and cleansing releases them from this.
Not all crystals NEED to be cleansed, some are cleansers in themselves therefore they don't necessarily require cleansing. However even these crystals seem to LIKE to be cleansed sometimes – regardless of this. Cleansing can be applied to anything - people, crystals, rooms, plants and the following techniques can be used:
Water is an obvious choice to use if you are a Water sign - Scorpio, Pisces and Cancer... Water soothes and washes away negativity, carrying it off to join the rest of the water in the world, and be recycled back into positivity.
Leaving your crystal outside in the rain is a fabulous way of cleansing them and the difference between using tap water and rain water is phenomenal – just leave in a secure place outside overnite and allow the natural balance of the Earth and Rain to wash and cleanse your stone. Storms are fun! as this charges the crystal with transformational Storm energies.
Running under stream of water
This is best if the running water is natural – such as a stream, a river or a waterfall – but a tap works just as well. The water running over the stone purifys it, returning the crystal to it's optimum vibration. This is a great quick cleanser – like when you are just handed an uncleansed stone – or before using it for healing.
Some people use what is called the 'salt water method' we have never used this as a general cleansing exercise but from much research, we feel it isn't the best way to care for your stone – basically, the idea is to leave your crystal in some salt water for a while, and the salt draws any impurities away from the stone (salt being a natural cleanser). However, salt water can be abrasive and can damage your crystals surface shine, along with getting into tiny cracks and crevices in the crystal and making them expand – for this reason we do not promote salt water cleansing . Best to just put dry salt on a plate/dry earth/similar, and rest the crystals on it for a bit.
Top - Home - Shop for Crystals
Taking your crystal to a sacred space, a lay line or a place of great natural beauty will immediately retune it to vibrate with the balance of that space – this can be an incredible experience for both crystals and people as we are as much affected by ancient places, as the stones that we are holding.
Top - Home - Shop for Crystals
Using the power of smoke and wind you can effectively cleanse crystals in one of the most beautiful rituals we have come across – smudging.
To smudge your crystal is to light a sacred herb or jostick and allow the smoke to gently wash over your stones – this is brillant for the more delicate stones – as they are not damaged by this amazingly gentle technique. Make sure there is an OPEN window for the smoke to escape out of, thus returning unwanted energies back into the wind and the earth – where they can be recycled.
Using other crystals is a great way of cleansing them – simply place your crystal on a cluster of a naturally cleasning stone such as quartz or citrine – this also entails 'the salt method' using salts natural ablities to draw out impurities – place your stone in a bowl of salt for some time, afterward wipe it off and throw away the salt and therefore the impurities – it is important to only use the salt once as it will hold in impurities from –past stones.

Leaving crystals outside in the sun is fantastic! It is cleansing and also very energising. The Sun (very large fire!) cleanses with both immense light and firey heat, recharging life. Be aware of SUN-FADING crystals! Like Amethyst, some Smoky Quartz, Crysocolla, realgar.....
This solar connection exercise can be done at any time of day - with differing effects.

Since it is frequently desirable to obtain a conventional x-ray image (shadowgraph) of the patient as well, a method is disclosed which permits the computer used to generate the tomogram to calculate such a shadowgraph of the patient from the data acquired for the tomogram, for desired projection directions. This data is acquired, and the shadowgraph obtained, simultaneously with the exposure used to produce the tomogram.
1. A computer tomography apparatus comprising:
measurement means for conducting a scan of a measurement volume around and along a central axis of said volume including an x-ray source which generates a fan-shaped x-ray beam propagating through said measurement volume at a plurality of different projection angles of said central axis and detector means for receiving x-rays after passing through said volume for generating image data;

8. A method as claimed in claim 5 wherein the step of continuously scanning is further defined by continuously helically scanning said measurement volume, and comprising the additional step of acquiring data from a plurality of parallel projections of said examination subject.
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention is directed to a computer tomography apparatus of the type which undertakes a helical scan of an examination subject.
2. Description of the Prior Art
It is known in conventional computer tomography systems to produce a conventional x-ray image (shadowgraph) of an examination subject, for the purpose of defining the examination region before beginning the computer tomographic examination. For this purpose, the patient is usually moved through the measurement opening, with the x-ray focus being held at a fixed angular position, and a conventional shadowgraph, i.e., an x-ray projection image, is produced continuously, or pulsed line-by-line. This known technique of obtaining a conventional x-ray image using a computer tomography apparatus has several disadvantages. First, in addition to offering the standard computer tomographic exposure mode with continuous scanning, a further exposure mode must be offered wherein the x-ray focus is held stationary. Additionally, as a result of the creation of two separate exposures, the time required for the complete examination is higher by several minutes compared to the time needed for the actual production of the computer tomogram. Such lengthening of the exposure time is not only economically undesirable, but also the patient frequently changes position between the two exposures, so that a shifting between the selected body region and the body region which is actually registered during the examination can occur.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a computer tomography apparatus and method for operating such an apparatus which permit the simultaneous production of computer tomograms and x-ray shadowgraphs.
The object is achieved in a method for operating a computer tomography apparatus which has a measurement system for continuous (usually helical) scanning of a measurement volume in the direction of a central axis, wherein the computer calculates a shadowgraph of the patient from the tomographic data, the shadowgraph being calculated for a defined projection direction simultaneously with the tomography exposure. The exposure volume can thus be monitored in real time, and the exposure can be stopped when the end point, which can only be radiologically recognized, is reached. All of the data for three-dimensional reproduction of the volume in which the patient is situated are present after a helical scanning of the volume. Computer tomograms and shadowgraphs for arbitrary projection directions can therefore be reconstructed from such data.
FIG. 1 is an end view of a computer tomography apparatus operable in accordance with the principles of the present invention, with the measurement system being vertically oriented and with certain electronic components being schematically indicated.
FIG. 2 is a side view of the computer tomography apparatus of FIG. 1.
FIGS. 3 and 4 are graphs for explaining the production of x-ray shadowgraphs in the computer tomography apparatus of FIGS. 1 and 2, in accordance with the principles of the present invention.
FIG. 5 is a side view of a further embodiment of a computer tomography apparatus operable in accordance with the principles of the present invention, with the measurement system horizontally oriented.
An x-ray computer tomography apparatus operable in accordance with the principles of the present invention is shown in FIG. 1 having a measurement system 31 which, in FIGS. 1 and 2 is shown oriented vertically. The measurement system 31 has a housing surrounding a measurement field 1, with an x-ray source 2 and an annular anode 3 disposed in the housing. For producing a rotating, fan-shaped x-ray beam 4, the annular anode 3 is scanned by an electron beam 5 which is produced by an electron gun 6. The electron gun 6 is followed by focusing coils 7. A vacuum is maintained in the x-ray source 2 by vacuum pumps 8.
The electron beam is deflected onto the annular anode 3 by a magnetic deflection coil 9 for producing the x-ray beam 4. The x-rays emerging from the examination subject situated in the measurement field 1 are acquired by an annular radiation detector 10, consisting of a series of detector elements 10a. The respective output signals of the detector elements 10a are supplied to a computer 11, which calculates an image of the examined slice of the examination subject from those signals. The image is visually displayed on a monitor 12.
The measurement field 1 is a field in an opening 13 in the housing of the measurement system 31, through which the examination subject is moved. For transirradiation of the examination subject from different directions, the x-ray beam 4 rotates around an axis 4a by deflection of the electron beam 5 on the annular anode 3.
A control unit 14 operates the deflection coil 9 so that the electron beam 5 penetrates the x-ray source 2 concentrically relative to the annular anode 3 before the beginning of a scan event, until the electron beam 5 is incident on a beam catcher 15 at the closed end. The beam catcher 15 may consist, for example, of lead. Prior to reaching the beam catcher 15, the electron beam 5 is defocussed by a defocussing unit 16.
The electron beam 5 is then deflected onto the annular anode 3 by the deflection coil 9, and scans the annular anode 3 from its end 17 to its end 18. Five focus positions are shown in FIG. 1, however, there are significantly more discrete focus positions, for example one thousand. Preferably, however, the focus is continually shifted by a traveling wave, so that scanning is defined by the detector sampling. The x-ray beam 4 thus rotates in a direction opposite to the direction of the electron beam 5, and is shown in its final position in FIG. 1, at which point the scan event is terminated.
Another deflection of the annularly guided electron beam 5 subsequently takes place, with a new scan event beginning with the deflection of the electron beam 5 onto the end 17 of the annular anode 3.
It is also possible to scan the annular anode 3 with an electron beam 5 moving in the clockwise direction, i.e., from the end 18 to the end 17 of the annular anode 3.
The radiation detector 10 is disposed relative to the annular anode 3 so that the x-ray beam 4 can pass by the detector 10 before the beam 4 enters the measurement field 1. The x-ray beam 4 is incident on the radiation detector 10 only after emerging from the measurement field 1.
As can be seen in FIG. 2, a patient on a support 20 is moved through the measurement field 1 while the beam focus is rotated on the annular anode 3. A defined measurement volume of the patient is thus helically scanned, or is scanned over a portion of a helix. From the data acquired thereby, the computer 11 can calculate both tomograms for predetermined transverse slices of the patient and shadowgraphs (conventional x-ray images) for defined projection angles. The particular projection angle can be selectable. A shadowgraph should preferably be produced in lateral and anterior-posterior projection. In order to double the number of image lines in the shadowgraph, the data from projections from focus positions offset by 180� can be used. Except for the central ray and at the level of the rotational center, these projections in fan geometry will result in portions of the image being projected onto different detector positions, therefore, some deterioration in the image quality must be expected. This can be seen in FIG. 3, wherein the patient is shown in cross section. Details of the examination subject image outside of the rotational center (axis 4a), for example the detail 22, are projected onto different points in the image plane, given a fan-beam projection from opposite directions, as can be seen, for example, with respect to points 23 and 24 which have different spacings from the axis 25.
To avoid these disadvantages, data corresponding to parallel projections can be calculated from the data of the helical movement for arbitrary projection angles, as shown in FIG. 4.
Four focus positions 26, 27, 28 and 29 are shown in FIG. 4, with the associated parallel rays which are incident on the projection plane 30.
An image consequently arises after n revolutions of the focus, or 2 n measured lines. A calculation of additional image lines by interpolation is also possible.
Because a two-dimensional convolution is usually implemented to improve the image quality, the image for the region n-m (or 2 n-m) lines can be portrayed in so-called final quality, while the remaining region is portrayed in a preliminary processing condition, given a convolution core over a 2 m line range. Looking at this image, the attendant or physician can recognize when the desired examination region is scanned, and the helical exposure is to be aborted. This can be implemented manually, such as by a so-called dead man circuit.
The method disclosed herein can also be used in computer tomography systems having a measuring system of the type with a conventional x-ray tube and radiation detector, with means for mechanically rotating these components around an axis. The method can be used to particular advantage, however, in a system of the type described above with an annular anode, because such systems do not require pauses for cooling, due to limited x-ray power, and thus helical computer tomography exposures of larger volumes can be undertaken in a shorter time without interruption. The method is also particularly useful for conducting an examination of a standing patient wherein the time lost due to the generation of an additional shadowgraph is highly disadvantageous, because the patient, without a patient support, is more likely to move between exposures, and in some instances standing for a length of time may be difficult for certain patients.
An arrangement of the computer tomography apparatus for conducting an examination of standing patient is shown in FIG. 5, with the measurement system 31 being horizontally oriented relative to a platform 32 on which the examination subject stands. The measurement system 31 is mounted on supports 33 so as to be height-adjustable in the vertical direction, as indicated by the double arrows. A helical exposure of a standing patient is thereby possible.
The image quality of the shadowgraph is adequate in all instances for computer tomography systems having annular anodes with which exposures of thin layers, possible with a multi-line detector are provided, and can even be superior to current shadowgraphs. Due to the prevention of parallax errors, the creation of the shadowgraphs from parallel projections constitutes a clear advantage over the conical projection used in conventional x-ray exposures, as well as in comparison to the cylindrical projection which is conventionally used to make a shadowgraph in a computer tomography apparatus.
Although modifications and changes may be suggested by those skilled in the art, it is the intention of the inventors to embody within the patent warranted hereon all changes and modifications as reasonably and properly come within the scope of their contribution to the art.

It must be Australia week and, finally, a story that is not so much about weird culture as a weird misappropriation of science. Apparently officials in the Australian state of Victoria are not interested in following up on the idea of introducing a far lower blood alcohol content (BAC) limit …
Canadian Conservatives Are My Kind Of Conservative
Posted by Alan McLeod on Monday, February 7, 2011 in Ontario, Beer and Culture, Beer and Law - 2 comments
Political culture is a weird thing. It doesn't translate well from nation to nation and leaving the words associated with themselves rather meaningless. Conservative or liberal? Anarchist or patriot? Who know what any of this stuff means? Yet, there are moments when you know that being a Canadian …
The Most Offensive Morality Play Beer Story Ever
Posted by Alan McLeod on Tuesday, February 1, 2011 in Oregon, Thinking About Beer, Beer and Law, Beer News - 4 comments
Did I say "ever"? I suppose I did. I suppose it is because this news combines such a sense of bean counting, superiority, triviality and, frankly, sheer sadness so as to define a point which we may have reached. I quote in reasonable fullness: • ...West Linn-Wilsonville School District teachers …
Should I Like Beer Labeling Or Not Like Beer Labeling

Here is the thing. I am allergic to sulphites. Monosodium bisuphite is a killer to me. Gives me a respiratory reaction, like asthma. It's in some beers. Apparently proposals for beer labeling in Canada would include declarations that sulphites are in the beer: • The labelling changes, first …

The CodeWeavers CrossOver Plugin
Surfing multimedia web sites under Linux has been a somewhat frustrating experience. We do have support for RealPlayer and Flash, and we have some other fine streaming-media clients such as XMMS, but for various reasons we have been barred from watching most QuickTime movies or any Shockwave Director animations. Barred until now, that is; thanks to the programmers at CodeWeavers now we can enjoy those same movies and animations using their native Windows players running on web browsers under Linux.
On August 27, 2001, CodeWeavers announced the availability of their CrossOver Plugin in its 1.0 release. This software provides a translation layer that lets you download and install native Windows plugins as though they were being installed to a real Windows partition, making it possible for Linux web browsers to run multimedia content created for Apple's QuickTime 5 and Macromedia Shockwave. The 1.0 package also supports Microsoft's WordView and XLView browser plugins for viewing content created in Word 97 and Excel 97, and CodeWeavers has announced their intention to support all Windows browser plugins via CrossOver eventually.
The CrossOver Plugin is available from the CodeWeavers web site. You can purchase and download the plugin by itself, or you can buy the CodeWeavers Wine CD. The disk includes the plugin and printable documentation along with CodeWeavers Wine 1.0. Note, however, that the CrossOver Plugin is a standalone program that requires neither Wine nor Windows.
Installation is simple and well documented, and a series of helpful wizards will guide you through the process. After displaying the CodeWeavers license agreement, the installer sets up CrossOver itself (Figure 1). This part of the installation requires little intervention from the user beyond specifying the target directory ($HOME/crossover by default). CrossOver first installs a fake_windows and a set of DLLs (derived from CodeWeavers' work on the Wine Project) needed by the players and viewers. The package does not provide the supported players and viewers: once CrossOver has installed itself, you will see the Plugin Setup window (Figure 2) where you actually connect to the Apple, Macromedia and Microsoft download areas to retrieve the plugins. From this point you follow the course of downloading, installing and setting up the plugins exactly as though you were working in Windows itself. You simply can accept the default values throughout the installation and configuration for each plugin. Remember, CrossOver deceives the native Windows plugins into believing that they are installing themselves in a real Windows environment, so the default installation paths are the same as those expected in Windows.
When you have finished setting up the plugins you want CrossOver to manage, restart your browser and head over to Apple's QuickTime movie trailers site and catch the latest previews (Figure 3), or check out Director Web for some impressive Shockwave sites (Figure 4). I spent an evening wandering through sites from a Google search for QuickTime movies and Shockwave pages, testing the plugin's ability to play the various file versions and formats. I'm happy to report that the plugin had no trouble playing anything the Web threw at it.
You also can choose to set up QuickTime as your default player and viewer for other media file types, including AVI and MPEG movies or JPEG and GIF images. The CrossOver documentation notes that you must disable your browser's existing file associations and manually reconfigure them for QuickTime.
The Plugin Setup window includes tabs for configuring your preferences in Netscape, Mozilla and Konqueror, the browsers currently supported by CrossOver. Netscape is the default browser, but the CrossOver package includes advice and instructions regarding setup for the other browsers. Incidentally, you don't have to install all your plugins at once. Running $HOME/crossover/bin/pluginsetup will bring up the Plugin Setup window for later addition or removal of CrossOver's supported plugins.
The only problem I had during the installation was resolved quickly with the help of the CodeWeavers team. My $HOME/.netscape/plugins directory was read-only, and the CrossOver Plugin could not install itself until I changed the directory's permissions to read/write for normal user. With that correction the installation proceeded smoothly.

It's almost a year since I became an exclusive author on envato. Here are some numbers that might encourage other authors to push quality, rather than quantity.
I'm not showing you the amount of sales, but something different.
These ratios are very high compared to one of the top authors. Do not underestimate quality.
I made some serious side cash from freelance jobs and customizations beside the earnings from the marketplace. Some customers have been so happy that they still hire me for other jobs.
I'm planning to create soon a support site with tutorials and free utilities. Let's hope I can find some time to do that!

Naturally getting rid of Parasites?
Naturally getting rid of Parasites?
I want to do a "cleanse" to rid myself of parasites, but am not willing to pay for the various parasite systems out there consisting of tablets and powders. Is there another way to do it?
I have read about a combination of black walnut hulls, wormwood and cloves, but has anyone tried this? Has it worked?
many essential oils are anti-parasitic. you may want to look into that.
wormwood tea?
I'm not sure about this because I haven't tried it but there is a recipe on the recipe page that recommends eating papaya seeds whole(not chewing them) and that it's a natural way to cleanse and get rid of parasites. Here is the link: http://www.goneraw.com/recipes/2375-Papaya-Seed… I just found it by accident because I was trying to determine how to use my papaya seeds(I didn't want to waste them) and it seems like it may be an inexpensive way to cleanse.
why would we have parasites? i keep hearing mention of this…
Oil of Oregano is the natures best antibiotic and tested against the usual ones… Penicillin etc. and came out same and even better as many people are already immune to usual antibiotics.
This is on link, there are many more…
It kills parasites and helps against many other things. We take it every day to boost our immune system and took it 3 times daily while in Belize, did not get sick at all, did not get any vaccination. Put 6 drops in a half glass of water and put down at once. Be careful not to get anything on your throat, as it is very strong. Or put it on a teespoon with olive oil if that works better for you.
You can also use it when you have inflammations in the mouth region, take one drop on your toothbrush for brushing over your gum if its inflamed, put it on cold sores (burns a bit).Anyway, there is a long list… you can find good info.
From all my research, 98% of americans have parisites
100% all cancer victims have them. If you have a protruding tummy you have them. they themselves are not always a problem it is the toxins they release that make us ill.just think happens with the stuff you eat what happens to it? our crap is toxic and so is theirs and it is inside of us
I searched for an answer to pianissima's question. Didn't find a short answer, but here's a link to one of the sites I read (see paragraph 7). There are also pictures and descriptions of the most common parasites on this site. Another site points out, among other things, the importance of diet, exercise, and strengthening the immune system.
We have millions of bacteria and other flora and fauna living in and on our bodies at all times.
If you had a harmful parasite living in you YOU WOULD KNOW IT!
Please don't spend your money to pour poison into your body to kill an imaginary worm.
Of course, this is my opinion. Go ahead and de-wormify yourself if it makes you feel better.
I certainly did NOT know it. and what came out in the toliet afterwards was down right scary. so glad it did it unfortunately i know there are more.
I used Parafree from young living. they gave me a bad aftertaste until it was all out of my body but the results we so worth it. there were hundreds of them yuck! Parafree is a mix of oils.
Blue_Eyes, what differences do you notice now? Do you feel different, look different? I'm particularly curious to know if your tummy was bloated / protruding and is less so now.
Simply raw has an excellent entry on parasite cleansing. http://ottawaraw.wordpress.com/2008/04/05/paras…
Here's an excerpt: "During the past 22 years, I have tried many anti-parasite protocols including eating exclusively pineapples, pumpkin seeds and papaya seeds for 8 days; the zapper (which I use regularly); colon cleansing, colonics and various wormwood/black walnut/clove anti-parasite kits but the best results I've ever experienced (& i mean ever!) were from fasting 35 days using lots of fresh hot peppers, black radish, greens, horseradish, daikon, garlic and onions. Worthy of another full paged blog in itself!"
I can't wait to try her method! My stomach is overly bloated, and I know it must be from parasites. Remember to get frequent colonics and use pH test strips to check that your system is alkaline. Alkaline system isn't guaranteed with a raw diet! You'll have to adjust what you eat to get it (green smoothies/green juice help the most).
In my country natural help to get rid at least of some parasites has been pumpkin seeds. You can use pumpkin with all the seeds and peel blended in your smoothies and raw soups.Nice easy and yummy. And it's the right season for it now…
Blue_Eyes.. wow that must have been freaky!!! How was your diet prior to using the Parafree? Were you raw then, I mean? I am doing the Master Cleanse now, and I know that sometimes people can pass parasites. I know someone who passed white parasite eggs!!! Scary!
I was mostly eating sad and my asthma was really bad and I had no energy at all
I was started on suppliments to build my system up. they then started the wormwood and I cant say that I got any results from it and was doubting whether or not I really had them. but when I did the parafree the aftertaste was alful but I stuck with it only took it a little more than a week. started one week before the full moon (that is when they are said to be their most active) and lasted about two days after the full moon. My stomach hurt really bad and I went in for a colonic and was taking cascara sangrada mispelled I'm sure, and then there was a toliet full of white things about an inch or two long and hundreds of them oh it is still gross thinking about it, but I have to admit it was kind of neat seeing them at the same time (I am a little twisted). I did try it with a smaller dosage but did not get the same results
over the course of maybe four months I dropped 25 pounds and even tho I still have a bit of a stomach not as bad as I was. will try it again as soon as I get the nerve I cannot decribe the taste but it was challanging to get thru.
I was told the pain I had was from them being killed and blocking the way out and needed help in clearing them. the pain was gone after the colonic but they did not come out for a day or two.
Please do not let me scare you off of getting rid of them. the idea of them in me is terrible.
I did the master cleanse but did not really see any results, I wonder if I was doing it wrong, I think maybe I should have drank more lemonade or was I supposed to be drinking a lot of water also???
I think they came from either pork which I ate a lot of (the parisites in pork do not die from cooking) or from my sick cat who has now pasted on. But have been told I have several kinds in me.
My asthma has improved also, and my health care practitioner said she has other asthmatics that are doing great as long as they stay parisite free.
Thanks for writing on the parasite topic.
I took the dewormers mentioned after reading Hulda Clark's book a little more than 2 years ago. I looked like shit for a little bit and quit after a week when I wasn't feeling good, thought the dewormer might be toxic or something. But that was the beginning of my going raw. It was highly likely that I had a lot of worms since I ate a lot of dairy (like a good little old school vegetarian would). And I had a lot of cellulite, and a lower pot belly.
I have been consuming two tablespoons of EV Coconut oil each day (one in the morning after breakfast, one at night after dinner). That is anti-parasitic
Would I take a wormer again? The raw diet is suppose to get rid of a worm friendly environment. That's my belief. The dewormers are toxic. But if I were diagnosed with cancer, I would take them in a heart beat.

Same old Machine.
"I've said this a million times before – you are who you are," Angels veteran Torii Hunter said. "Once you have a track record in this game, you're not going to see guys change from that much. You are who you are."
If that is the case and the 162-game rigors of a baseball season filter out flukes – who was that guy playing first base for the Angels in April?
You remember him? Couldn't hit a home run. Bounced ground balls to the left side of the infield so frequently that teams began stacking their defenses on the left side.
"I knew it was going bad when people put on the shift against him," Angels right-hander Jason Isringhausen said. "Albert was never a guy who had to pull everything. I'd seen him threaten pitchers' lives with the way he worked the middle of the field. But (in April) he was trying to pull everything.
"Once he got back to being the hitter he's always been and not trying to do too much, the numbers have come."
A teammate of Pujols' for seven seasons in St. Louis (2002-08) as well as this year with the Angels, Isringhausen was one of the many voices in April and May telling anyone who asked – and everyone was asking – that Pujols would be fine, "once he gets going his numbers might be as good as last year – and I bet they'll be better."
Those voices can now have their "I-told-you-so" moment.
With a power burst of six home runs in five games last week (including the first back-to-back multi-home run games of his career) and his first American League Player of the Week award, Pujols is back on pace to reach or approach those statistical markers that have defined his Hall of Fame-worthy resume.
"I've known Albert for a long time. When you doubt Albert, all he's going to do is prove you wrong," Isringhausen said. "He's proven the naysayers wrong before. When people asked me early in the year, I guaranteed he was going to get it going once he got settled in, and now he's on pace to do what he always does.
"Last year, he started out slow and they were asking all the same questions. How did he finish? Missed out on a .300 average, by what, one point? Nearly had 30 home runs and 100 RBI. Again. And people said he had a bad year. It was a bad year for him, maybe.
"He's set that bar so high. When your name is in sentences with names like Ruth and Gehrig – that's a pretty high standard he's set. ... Albert is Albert, and you know what you're going to get."
The Angels didn't get it right away and there are different ways to slice up his season, trying to pinpoint when Albert started being Albert.
Was it the arrival of Mike Trout on April 28? Since then, Pujols has hit .297 with 24 home runs and 72 RBIs in 90 games.
Was it the "mental day" Angels manager Mike Scioscia gave a homer-less Pujols on May 5? He hit his first home run of the season the next day and has batted .314 with 24 home runs, 71 RBIs, a .383 on-base percentage and a .609 slugging percentage in 83 games since then.
