Article: High-Fat Diet-Induced Insulin Resistance Does Not Increase Plasma Anandamide Levels or Potentiate Anandamide Insulinotropic Effect in Isolated Canine Islets[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Obesity has been associated with elevated plasma anandamide levels. In addition, anandamide has been shown to stimulate insulin secretion in vitro, suggesting that anandamide might be linked to hyperinsulinemia. To determine whether high-fat diet-induced insulin resistance increases anandamide levels and potentiates the insulinotropic effect of anandamide in isolated pancreatic islets. Dogs were fed a high-fat diet (n = 9) for 22 weeks. Abdominal fat depot was quantified by MRI. Insulin sensitivity was assessed by the euglycemic-hyperinsulinemic clamp. Fasting plasma endocannabinoid levels were analyzed by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. All metabolic assessments were performed before and after fat diet regimen. At the end of the study, pancreatic islets were isolated prior to euthanasia to test the in vitro effect of anandamide on islet hormones. mRNA expression of cannabinoid receptors was determined in intact islets. The findings in vitro were compared with those from animals fed a control diet (n = 7). Prolonged fat feeding increased abdominal fat content by 81.3±21.6% (mean±S.E.M, P<0.01). In vivo insulin sensitivity decreased by 31.3±12.1% (P<0.05), concomitant with a decrease in plasma 2-arachidonoyl glycerol (from 39.1±5.2 to 15.7±2.0 nmol/L) but not anandamide, oleoyl ethanolamide, linoleoyl ethanolamide, or palmitoyl ethanolamide. In control-diet animals (body weight: 28.8±1.0 kg), islets incubated with anandamide had a higher basal and glucose-stimulated insulin secretion as compared with no treatment. Islets from fat-fed animals (34.5±1.3 kg; P<0.05 versus control) did not exhibit further potentiation of anandamide-induced insulin secretion as compared with control-diet animals. Glucagon but not somatostatin secretion in vitro was also increased in response to anandamide, but there was no difference between groups (P = 0.705). No differences in gene expression of CB1R or CB2R between groups were found. In canines, high-fat diet-induced insulin resistance does not alter plasma anandamide levels or further potentiate the insulinotropic effect of anandamide in vitro.PLoS ONE 04/2015; 10(4):e0123558.

Article: CB1 antagonism restores hepatic insulin sensitivity without normalization of adiposity in diet-induced obese dogs[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The endocannabinoid system is highly implicated in the development of insulin resistance associated with obesity. It has been shown that antagonism of the CB(1) receptor improves insulin sensitivity (S(I)). However, it is unknown whether this improvement is due to the direct effect of CB(1) blockade on peripheral tissues or secondary to decreased fat mass. Here, we examine in the canine dog model the longitudinal changes in S(I) and fat deposition when obesity was induced with a high-fat diet (HFD) and animals were treated with the CB(1) antagonist rimonabant. S(I) was assessed (n = 20) in animals fed a HFD for 6 wk to establish obesity. Thereafter, while HFD was continued for 16 additional weeks, animals were divided into two groups: rimonabant (1.25 mg·kg(-1)·day(-1) RIM; n = 11) and placebo (n = 9). Euglycemic hyperinsulinemic clamps were performed to evaluate changes in insulin resistance and glucose turnover before HFD (week -6) after HFD but before treatment (week 0) and at weeks 2, 6, 12, and 16 of treatment (or placebo) + HFD. Magnetic resonance imaging was performed to determine adiposity- related changes in S(I). Animals developed significant insulin resistance and increased visceral and subcutaneous adiposity after 6 wk of HFD. Treatment with RIM resulted in a modest decrease in total trunk fat with relatively little change in peripheral glucose uptake. However, there was significant improvement in hepatic insulin resistance after only 2 wk of RIM treatment with a concomitant increase in plasma adiponectin levels; both were maintained for the duration of the RIM treatment. CB(1) receptor antagonism appears to have a direct effect on hepatic insulin sensitivity that may be mediated by adiponectin and independent of pronounced reductions in body fat. However, the relatively modest effect on peripheral insulin sensitivity suggests that significant improvements may be secondary to reduced fat mass.AJP Endocrinology and Metabolism 02/2012; 302(10):E1261-8.

ABSTRACT: The canine model has been used extensively to improve the human pancreatic islet isolation technique. At the functional level, dog islets show high similarity to human islets and thus can be a helpful tool for islet research. We describe and compare 2 manual isolation methods, M1 (initial) and M2 (modified), and analyze the variables associated with the outcomes, including islet yield, purity, and glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS). Male mongrel dogs were used in the study. M2 (n = 7) included higher collagenase concentration, shorter digestion time, faster shaking speed, colder purification temperature, and higher differential density gradient than M1 (n = 7). Islet yield was similar between methods (3111.0 ± 309.1 and 3155.8 ± 644.5 islets/g, M1 and M2, respectively; P = 0.951). Pancreas weight and purity together were directly associated with the yield (adjusted R(2) = 0.61; P = 0.002). Purity was considerably improved with M2 (96.7% ± 1.2% vs 75.0% ± 6.3%; P = 0.006). M2 improved GSIS (P = 0.021). Independently, digestion time was inversely associated with GSIS. We describe an isolation method (M2) to obtain a highly pure yield of dog islets with adequate β-cell glucose responsiveness. The isolation variables associated with the outcomes in our canine model confirm previous reports in other species, including humans.Pancreas 07/2011; 41(1):31-8. DOI:10.1097/MPA.0b013e318221fd0e

ABSTRACT: Obesity causes insulin resistance, which has been interpreted as reduced downstream insulin signaling. However, changes in access of insulin to sensitive tissues such as skeletal muscle may also play a role. Insulin injected directly into skeletal muscle diffuses rapidly through the interstitial space to cause glucose uptake. When insulin resistance is induced by exogenous lipid infusion, this interstitial diffusion process is curtailed. Thus, the possibility exists that hyperlipidemia, such as that seen during obesity, may inhibit insulin action to muscle cells and exacerbate insulin resistance. Here we asked whether interstitial insulin diffusion is reduced in physiological obesity induced by a high-fat diet (HFD). Dogs were fed a regular diet (lean) or one supplemented with bacon grease for 9-12 weeks (HFD). Basal insulin (0.2 mU x min(-1) x kg(-1)) euglycemic clamps were performed on fat-fed animals (n = 6). During clamps performed under anesthesia, five sequential doses of insulin were injected into the vastus medialis of one hind limb (INJ); the contralateral limb (NINJ) served as a control. INJ lymph insulin showed an increase above NINJ in lean animals, but no change in HFD-fed animals. Muscle glucose uptake observed in lean animals did not occur in HFD-fed animals. Insulin resistance induced by HFD caused a failure of intramuscularly injected insulin to diffuse through the interstitial space and failure to cause glucose uptake, compared with normal animals. High-fat feeding prevents the appearance of injected insulin in the interstitial space, thus reducing binding to skeletal muscle cells and glucose uptake.Diabetes 12/2009; 59(3):619-26. DOI:10.2337/db09-0839
Article: Rimonabant prevents additional accumulation of visceral and subcutaneous fat during high-fat feeding in dogs[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We investigated whether rimonabant, a type 1 cannabinoid receptor antagonist, reduces visceral adipose tissue (VAT) and subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) in dogs maintained on a hypercaloric high-fat diet (HHFD). To determine whether energy expenditure contributed to body weight changes, we also calculated resting metabolic rate. Twenty male dogs received either rimonabant (1.25 mg.kg(-1).day(-1), orally; n = 11) or placebo (n = 9) for 16 wk, concomitant with a HHFD. VAT, SAT, and nonfat tissue were measured by magnetic resonance imaging. Resting metabolic rate was assessed by indirect calorimetry. By week 16 of treatment, rimonabant dogs lost 2.5% of their body weight (P = 0.029), whereas in placebo dogs body weight increased by 6.2% (P < 0.001). Rimonabant reduced food intake (P = 0.027), concomitant with a reduction of SAT by 19.5% (P < 0.001). In contrast with the VAT increase with placebo (P < 0.01), VAT did not change with rimonabant. Nonfat tissue remained unchanged in both groups. Body weight loss was not associated with either resting metabolic rate (r(2) = 0.24; P = 0.154) or food intake (r(2) = 0.24; P = 0.166). In conclusion, rimonabant reduced body weight together with a reduction in abdominal fat, mainly because of SAT loss. Body weight changes were not associated with either resting metabolic rate or food intake. The findings provide evidence of a peripheral effect of rimonabant to reduce adiposity and body weight, possibly through a direct effect on adipose tissue.AJP Endocrinology and Metabolism 04/2009; 296(6):E1311-8.

Article: Direct administration of insulin into skeletal muscle reveals that the transport of insulin across the capillary endothelium limits the time course of insulin to activate glucose disposal[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Intravenous insulin infusion rapidly increases plasma insulin, yet glucose disposal occurs at a much slower rate. This delay in insulin's action may be related to the protracted time for insulin to traverse the capillary endothelium. An increased delay may be associated with the development of insulin resistance. The purpose of the present study was to investigate whether bypassing the transendothelial insulin transport step and injecting insulin directly into the interstitial space would moderate the delay in glucose uptake observed with intravenous administration of the hormone. Intramuscular injections of saline (n = 3) or insulin (n = 10) were administered directly into the vastus medialis of anesthetized dogs. Injections of 0.3, 0.5, 0.7, 1.0, and 3.0 units insulin were administered hourly during a basal insulin euglycemic glucose clamp (0.2mU x min(-1) x kg(-1)). Unlike the saline group, each incremental insulin injection caused interstitial (lymph) insulin to rise within 10 min, indicating rapid diffusion of the hormone within the interstitial matrix. Delay in insulin action was virtually eliminated, indicated by immediate dose-dependent increments in hindlimb glucose uptake. Additionally, bypassing insulin transport by direct injection into muscle revealed a fourfold greater sensitivity to insulin of in vivo muscle tissue than previously reported from intravenous insulin administration. Our results indicate that the transport of insulin to skeletal muscle is a rate-limiting step for insulin to activate glucose disposal. Based on these results, we speculate that defects in insulin transport across the endothelial layer of skeletal muscle will contribute to insulin resistance.Diabetes 05/2008; 57(4):828-35.

The Healthy Steps for Young Children program began in 1995 as a new approach to primary health care for young children, birth to age three. The program is intended to enhance early pediatric care by incorporating preventive developmental and behavioral services as part of a comprehensive, whole-child, whole-family model of health care and to help provide mothers and fathers with the childrearing information and guidance they seek.
The evaluation of Healthy Steps consisted of three components: the
National Evaluation, the Affiliate Evaluation, and the Embedded
Observational Study. All data contained in these public release data
sets come from the National Evaluation. For additional information on
the Affiliate Evaluation or the Embedded Observational Study, please
These data were gathered to assess whether the Healthy Steps program was successful in reorienting pediatric practice to emphasize child development issues in increasing parents' knowledge about early nurturing of infants and parents' involvement in their children's development and in promoting parents' practices that improve the health, safety, and health care utilization of their children.
The data are organized as follows:
Parent Forms: Newborn
The newborn form was used to gather data on the baby's characteristics, demographic characteristics of the mother, father, and family, prenatal utilization of services, health behaviors of the mother and father, and parents' decisions about a pediatric provider for their newborn.
Parent Forms: 6 Month
The 6 month form was used to gather information on selected family demographic characteristics, child's health, parenting practices, and health behaviors of the mother and father. Questions included the frequency of injuries, emergency department visits, and hospitalization in the past 6 months, use of safety devices, activities that promote learning and development, sources of information on speech development, child care arrangements, smoking practices, and mother's receipt of postpartum care.
Parent Forms: 12 Month
Like the 6 month form, the 12 month form was used to gather information on selected family demographic characteristics, child's health, parenting practices, and health behaviors of the mother and father. Questions included the frequency of injuries, emergency department visits, and hospitalization in the past 12 months, use of safety devices, activities that promote learning and development, sources of information on speech development, child care arrangements, smoking practices, and mother's receipt of postpartum care.
Medical Record Abstraction: Vaccinations
This file contains demographic and vaccination data, including gender, race/ethnicity, and insurance provider.
Medical Record Abstraction: Medical Visits
This file contains data abstracted from forms completed for every visit recorded in the medical record or other primary care files, including type visit and whether a physical assessment was conducted.
Medical Record Abstraction: Referrals/Consultations
These data are limited to information on any referrals or consultations noted in the child's medical record or other primary care files, including type of and reason for the referral.
Medical Record Abstraction: Hospitalizations/ED Visits
These data are limited to information on any hospitalization, emergency department visit, or urgent care visit recorded in the child's medical record or other primary care files, including the type of and reason for the visit.
Healthy Steps Specialist Contact Logs
Data contained in this file represent every interaction between Healthy Steps Specialists and the family, including home visits, office visits, telephone calls to or from the family, parent groups, mailings, and other types of contacts, such as hospital visits. Information collected on each contact included the date of contact, type of contact, person contacted, status of the contact, reason for the contact, whether a handout was given out or a referral made during the contact, the issues/ problems discussed during the contact, and any action taken by the Healthy Steps Specialist.
Parent Interviews: 2-4 Month
The 2-4 month interview included questions about the respondent's knowledge of child development, his/her sense of competence about childrearing, his/her perception of support for childrearing activities from both formal and informal sources, and his/her engagement in activities with the child that promote health, learning, and development. The interview also gathered information on the socio- demographic characteristics of the family, including the mother's and father's education, marital status, employment, income, and household composition.
Parent Interviews: 30-33 Month
The 30-33 month interview is the source of data on parent and child outcomes and assessed the extent to which families received the Healthy Steps intervention. Specifically, parents were asked about utilization of health-related services and about the child's health and progress in reaching age-appropriate developmental milestones, concerns the parent had about the child's development or behavior, and whether the child was referred to services for a behavior or developmentally-related problem. Additional questions addressed parenting activities that promote development, family routines, engagement in safety activities, the mother's general health status, use of substances, use of mental health services, and use of the child's doctor or her obstetrician/gynecologist as a source for discussing problems with depression and use of preventive health care.

The Rockets were wrapping up a three-game homestand, and earned Ws in the first two affairs against Indiana (who defeated the Celtics) and Atlanta. Houston had a lot at stake: the chance to avenge their season-opening loss against the C's, work their way to a .500 record for the first time this season (they would finish with one at 41-41), and improve their winning streak to three games. Bill Fitch's bunch, however, wouldn't stand for a three-game losing streak of their own. In fact, although the Celtics would drop two in a row on three different occasions during the regular season, they...

Fried dough covered with sugar is good every day, but since today happens to be dedicated to doughnuts, we thought you should treat yourself to a little something special besides your usual at Dunkin' Donuts or Krispy Kreme. Channel your inner Homer Simpson and check out these spots for our favorite sweet treats around Las Vegas.
O Face Doughnuts
Showing your "O face" is inevitable at this new Downtown hot spot, especially when you encounter varieties that go way beyond glazed. (However, for National Doughnut Day, O Face is giving away one free glazed with the purchase of a cold brewed coffee.) Sure, the traditional flavors do well, including chocolate old-fashioned's and chocolate with sprinkles, but folks in town have been clamoring for the more exotic tastes such as bacon maple, lemon rosemary meringue, peach with spicy pecan brittle and key lime. But make sure you get there early — they can run out of daily specials pretty quickly, which will lead to your scowling "no" face. facebook.com/ofacedoughnuts
Stack Restaurant & Bar
The chic eatery at Mirage has fun dessert options, but for our purposes, we're interested in the jelly doughnut "munchkin" holes. The mini versions, served warm and dusted with sugar, are great straight from the fryer, and served with vanilla and chocolate sauces for dipping. mirage.com
Citizens Kitchen & Bar
Mandalay Bay's late night eatery has some interesting, fat kid combinations on the menu, but nothing beats its crazy good breakfast items. The Famous Bacon, Egg & Cheese sandwich combines everything you love about hangover meals, with the sweet, glazed Krispy Kreme doughnut replacing regular ol' bread as the vehicle. mandalaybay.com
Yes, they serve doughnuts at the Four Seasons. But seeing as it's the Four Seasons, these are fancy donuts — the ones that emulate a certain croissant-doughnut hybrid that was invented in New York. Here they call them NYC Donut Holes, with that unmistakable flaky inside and sweet powdered sugar on the outside, and they're only available at the bar after 6 p.m. If your timing is good, however, they occasionally sell them whole at the coffee bar in the mornings. fourseasons.com/lasvegas
RELATED: Verandah at the Four Seasons serves DIY donuts
Ronald's Donuts
From the outside (and well, inside too), Ronald's looks like the typical doughnut shop you'd find in any strip mall in America. And to a degree, the mom-and-pop-run shop is, serving usual suspects such as cake doughnuts and jelly-filled varieties, and you can tell that many of the older folks hanging out there are regulars. But what has put Ronald's on the map (besides their apple fritters, but fritters are not doughnuts) are their vegan options that are so good, you can't tell the difference. Vegan flavors run from chocolate glazed filled with (presumably) soy cream to lemon or raspberry. Make sure you hit up an ATM on your way as it's cash only. 4600 Spring Mountain Rd., 702-873-1032

Let's try this again since my last attempt at this thread disappeared.
As we head into the second half of the 2011 season, here's your chance to step up and make your predictions public.
Any know-it-all can wait until October and claim the season turned out exactly like they expected.
Remember this... there is less shame in being wrong than there is in being afraid to make a prediction and then sayin' you knew it all along.
Here we go. I'll stand by my preseason picks.

1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates to the field of computer hard copy output devices. In particular it deals with printers color and black and white, including laser printers, ink-jet printers, thermal printers and photographic printers. It also relates to the general field of 3-D stereo imaging and recording, and in particular, 3-D stereo computer hardcopy printers.
2. Description of Related Art
All living creatures are endowed with a pair of eyes for 3-D stereoscopic vision. They have depended on this vision for their survival. Yet, in spite of the tremendous advances in information technology, there is no prior art teaching how to obtain hardcopy outputs from computers in the form of 3-D stereo prints.
The principal object of the present invention is to provide computer hardcopy graphic printers which print 3-D stereo images. It comprises:
Means for electronically multiplexing spatially, the left and right images, printing them, and demultiplexing them with micropolarizers for viewing.
Means for aligning the micropolarizers to the spatially multiplexed image printer head and

FIG. 12a-e show five classes of print heads which can be used with the preferred embodiments of FIGS. 3, 6, and 8.
The invention is based on two fundamentally new concepts combined for the first time to record and display 3-D images. They are: Spatial Multiplexing of left and right images and Micro-Polarizers. These are described in my co-pending applications: "A System For Producing 3-D Stereo Images", Ser. Nos. 536,190, filed Jun. 11, 1990 and "Methods For Manufacturing Micropolarizers", Ser. No. 536,419, filed Jun. 11, 1990. FIG. 1a illustrates the spatial multiplexing principles. The data representing the left and right images are stored in a bit map format (other formats may also be used) in left memory array 1 (L-RAM), and right memory array 2 (R-RAM) respectively. Each pixel in the array has N-bits for color and gray-scale. Using a spatial checkerboard modulator MOD 3, the left image 1 is modulated and stored in the array 5. The right image is spatially modulated using the compliment of MOD 4 to produce the compliment pattern stored in array 6. The modulated images 5 and 6 are combined (multiplexed) using a spatial multiplexer 7 and the spatially multiplexed image (SMI) is stored in the array 8. The SMI 8 shows a combined left and right images side by side on a pixel by pixel basis and therefore caries of the stereo information. The flow diagram of FIG. 1a is an algorithm to produce the SMI which can be implemented either in hardware as described below in connection with FIGS. 7 and 8, or it can be implemented in software. In FIG. 1b the SMI 8 is combined with a spatial demultiplexer 9, a micropolarizer, μPol sheet described in Application Ser. No. 536,190, and Ser. No. 536,419 and a polarization decoder 10, a pair of spectacles with polarization states P1 and P2. The SMI and the μPol arrays which have the same period are aligned such that the left pixels in the SMI illuminate the P2 cells in the μPol array and the right pixels illuminate the P1 cells. Thus, the left pixels become P2 polarized and the right pixels become P1 polarized. Because of the discriminating ability of the polarized eye glasses, the left eye which has a P2 polarizer can seen only the P2-polarized left pixels, and the right eye which has a P1 polarizer can see only the P1-polarized right pixels. To achieve the 3-D stereo sensation the human brain fuses the left and right images in the same manner it deals with natural 3-D scenes. FIG. 1c shows that the SMI 8 may also be placed top of the μPol. Choosing between the configurations of FIG. 1b and FIG. 1c depends on how the SMI is illuminated, and whether the transmissive mode or reflective mode of display is used; see Ser. No. 536,190.
To build a hardcopy printer to output images from computers in stereo the above concept is used in conjunction with the principles taught in the embodiments described here. FIGS. 2a and 2b show how the final desired hardcopy stereo output is obtained. It comprises two sheets 11 and 12 laminated together to produce the output print 16. The first sheet 11 is a μPol 9 on which the SMI 8 is printed after proper alignment is ensured. The second sheet 12 consists of regular paper 13, coated with aluminum or silver flakes 14 and a clear adhesive layer 15. The aluminum or silver layer is needed to preserve the polarization and maximize the brightness. If paper only was used in 13, the polarized light striking its surface becomes depolarized and as it emerges from the μPol layer its brightness is reduced by at least 50%. FIG. 2c shows another simpler embodiment which eliminates the sheet 12 but achieves the same result by directly coating the back of the μPol 9 with a silver or aluminum film 14.
There are two classes of polarizer polymers; the absorptive class such as polyvinyl alcohol, PVA, and the reflective class such as cholesteric liquid crystal silicone, CLCS (see Robert Maurer et al, Society of Information Display SID 90 Digest, p. 110, 1990, and Martin Schadt, and Jurg Funischilling, SID 90 Digest, p. 324, 1990). The absorptive class converts unpolarized light to linearly polarized light of state P1 by absorbing the orthogonal state P2. This absorbed light energy is converted to heat and is lost for ever. The polyvinyl alcohol, PVA, used to construct the μPols in Ser. No. 536,190, and Ser. No. 536,419 belongs to the absorptive class. Hard copies based on the absorptive class, in general, lose at least 50% of the illuminating light. The reflective class separate the incident unpolarized light into two circularly polarized states P1 and P2, one state P1 is transmitted and the other state P2 is reflected. In this case no light energy is lost to heat and therefore it is possible to convert 100% of the incident light into polarized light with the desired state of polarization. This is done by coating a sheet of CLCS with a reflective metallic film on one side, and illuminating it on the other side with unpolarized light. 50% of this light is reflected as P1, and the other 50% is transmitted as P2. This P2. This P2 light is then reflected by the metallic layer and converted into P1 (it is well known in the field of optics that a circularly polarized light of one state is converted to the orthogonal state as a result of reflection), thus all the incident light converted to polarized light of state P1. This reflective class of polarizers when used to fabricate μPols, provides at least a factor of 2 brighter3-D stereo prints than the absorptive class.
FIG. 3 is the printing system which is capable of producing a 3-D stereo hard copy output 16(this laminated output is described in FIG. 2). It has 6 new elements which were not needed in conventional 2-D printers; These are: The SMI Generator 25; The μPol Sheets 11, The Silver Coated Paper 12, The Alignment Means 29; The X-Y-theta Motion Controller 27; and The Laminating Rollers 23, 24. The other elements are found in conventional 2-D printers. The system works as follows. The left and right images from the host computer are transferred to the SMI Generator 25 well known serial or parallel means through the interface bus 30. The SMI 8 produced according to the algorithm described in FIG. 1a is then transferred through bus 31 to the Printer Engine Electronics 26. This controls the electromechanical components, the paper handling, the print formatting, print head drivers, user interface, and other chores. When printing starts, a μPol sheet 11 is fed from tray 17 by means of a rubber surface cylindrical roller 19 which presses on the sheet while rotating to move the paper to the left. Alignment means 29 ensures that the sheet is properly aligned relative to the print head. The feed back signal 33 is produced by the alignment element 29 when the sheet is out of alignment with respect to the print head. When alignment is completed, the μPol sheet 11 is transported to the print head 28 which is controlled by the Printer Electronics 26 through control lines 34 and the SMI is printed. At the same time, a silver coated sheet 12 is also fed from tray 18 by means of roller 20. Both sheets are transported through their designated paths by a variety of known means 21,22 and these are appropriately synchronized to arrive simultaneously at the laminating rollers 23,24, to be laminated together and to produce the complete output print 16.
The detailed of the alignment element 29 is shown in FIG. 4. It consists of the following components:
A small μPol array 37 having the same period as the stock μPol sheet 11. It is fixed to a platform 22. Its position is fixed relative to the print head. This serves as an absolute reference point, or the origin, x=0 and y=0 so that the 0,0 pixel of the SMI is always printed by the print head 28 at the same origin.
An LED 35 which illuminates both μPols 37 and 11.
A light detector 36 which detects the LED light transmitted through both μPols 37 and 11
A motion controller 29 which causes the roller 19 to have X, Y, and angular motion in response to signals from the Printer Electronics 26 through lines 32, and
An auxiliary roller which is lowered to hold the μPol sheet 11 in position when complete alignment is achieved. It then transports it for printing while always maintaining alignment.
The alignment can be based either on maximizing the detected light or minimizing it. Maximum light is detected when P1 state of 37 is covered completely by P1 of 11, and P2 of 37 is covered by P2 of 11. Minimum light is detected when P1 is covered completely by P2. If one chooses to minimize the detected light for perfect alignment, x, and y error signals are fed back to the printer electronics to cause motion of the roller 19 in the X, Y and theta directions until the error signals vanish. When this happens, roller 38 takes over to hold down μPol 11 and feeds it to the left for printing. FIG. 5 shown another alignment embodiment. It is identical to the arrangement of FIG. 4 described above, except that instead of controlling the motion of the roller 19, the platform 22 is controlled.
Instead of printing directly on the μPol 1, it is possible to print the SMI into the silver coated sheets 12. This requires slight modification of the system described in FIG. 3 to that described in FIG. 6. The latter system has different paper handling parts 22, 40, 41, and the alignment is done after printing by means of a different device 29 shown in FIG. 7. It uses the reflective mode. A black an white checkerboard alignment pattern is printed on the sheet 12, such that the white squares are covered by P1 state of the μPol 11. The LED light is polarized with a state P2 so that when perfect alignment is achieved, the reflected light detected by the detector 36 is zero. The transmitted error signal 33 causes a signal 32 to control the X, Y and angular motion of the platform 22 holding μPol 11 until alignment is achieved. The final step is laminating 11 and 12 together by the laminating rollers 23, 24.
In another embodiment described in FIG. 8, a simplified self-aligned 3-D stereo printer is produced. It eliminates the alignment device 29, the laminating rollers 23,24, the tray 18. Instead, it uses a roll of stock μPol 11 coated from one side with a reflective film, and on the other side the SMI is printed to produce the final print 16 (see FIG. 2c). The self-alignment of the μPol relative to the print head is achieved by means of a precision sprocket roller 19 which feeds, transports and aligns the stock 11. As FIG. 9 shows, the stock 11 has rectangular holes 19b for the sprocket teeth 19a. The holes are precisely located relative to μPol array, and relative to the sprocket teeth. Printing starts at the origin which is a fixed point on the precision sprocket roller 19. This guarantees that SMI is aligned to the μPol.
The SMI Generator general algorithm shown in FIG. 1a is implemented by means of two embodiments shown in FIGS. 10 and 11. In FIG. 10, the spatial modulation and spatial multiplexing are accomplished by means of a flip-flop 45, AND gates 50, 51, 57,58, 59, and OR gates 54, 65. Initially the left and right image data are loaded into L-RAM 43 and R-RAM 44 respectively. The SMI generation starts by reading simultaneously the L-RAM and R-RAM on a row by row basis starting with the first row. The operation is synchronized with the clock 42. The complementary outputs 46, 49 of the flip-flop 45 and the memory outputs 47, 48, drive respectively the AND gates 50 and 51 to produce the modulated outputs 52 and 53. These are combined with the OR gate 54 to produce the spatially multiplexed output 55. Note that each input and out put of the logic gates has N bits for each pixel. The modulation wave-forms 46, 49 are shown in the inset along with the clock pulses. The gates 57, 58, 59 add flexibility to the printer by giving the user a choice to select to print in stereo by making input 62 high, while inputs 60, and 61 low; or print left image only by making input 60 high while 56 and 61 low; or print right image only by putting 61 high, while keeping 60 and 56 low. The result of the selection 66 is stored in the SMI-RAM 67 whose output 68 is sent to the Printer Engine Electronics 25.
FIG. 11 is another SMI Generator embodiment which uses a microprocessor 69 to control the printer and co-ordinate printing for many users through interface buses 70 a-d which are connected to bus 71. The CPU 69 receives the image data through 72 and transfers it via buses 73, 75, 76 and 77 to L-RAM 43 and R-RAM 44. The microprocessor, subsequently, produces the SMI and stores it in SMI-RAM. The microprocessor is programmed to do this following the algorithm outlined in FIG. 1a. Then it transfers the SMI to the Print Engine 74 to complete printing.
The construction of the print head 28 can be based on one of five printing classes illustrated in FIG. 12. The ink ribbon class FIG. 12a is the most common. The ink is transferred from the ribbon 81 to the paper 11 by means of a print mechanism 80. This may be print hammers, print wire matrix, or thermal head which locally melts the ink and transfers it to the paper. The ink-jet class FIG. 12b transfers drops of ink through nozzles 82 to the paper 11. An ink reservoir 83 for each color is connected to the nozzles through 84. FIG. 12c is an electrostatic print head which transfers charge from the charger 85 directly to the paper. The amount of charge represents the image gray scale. Using a developer 93, this charge covered paper is then developed by attracting toner or ink.
For high resolution color printers, the photographic class FIG. 12d is used. The paper 11 is covered with a photosensitive film which is then exposed through a lens 87 by means of an image generator such as a CRT or a light valve. The exposed paper is then developed by an appropriate developer 93. Finally, the class, also known as xerographic, is shown in FIG. 12e. A cylindrical drum 90 covered with photoconductive material is charged with a charger 91. A laser or light valve projects the image onto the charged surface through lens 89. The charges on the illuminated surface is conducted away, while the charge on the unilluminated surface remains. This latent charge image is developed by the toner 92. The toner consists of particles that are attracted by the charge and stick to the surface of the drum. The toner image is then transferred from the drum to the paper 11 and fused into it.

No blog entries have been posted here. Boring yes, but as confucius says - if you have nothing good to say, why say anything at all? Check back later, perhaps something exciting will pop-up and be worth blogging about, like season 3 of the teletubbies.
Speak your mind, rant about games, mods and the development scene, it's simple and who knows maybe someone will read it and agree. It will feel right!

text: I bought two RB67 Pro S cameras and here is the story of what I got. I bought both on ebay and the first one came from a company that rents pro equipment, so I knew it was used by a pro. At this point I didn't know squat about medium formats and less about the Rb system. By the way, I spent $300 for each camera and sold one on ebay for $120. Ouch! Anyway, the first one looked in perfect shape and as far as I can tell the shutter is working great so far. I have only run about 10 rolls of film through it. There was a problem with the (I can't think of the name of the thing) but anyway it is the thing that prevents you from tripping the shutter when something isn't right. While shooting some family shots, it would not allow me to shoot in the horizontal position. I sent it in and got all the problems fixed and now have what looks like a brand new camera. The other one had a slight flaw on the bellow, but it was not a light leak. I only shot one roll of film through it and it was fine. The aperture blades did stick a little after the exposure was made, but moving the aperture ring a bit would free them up. It would be the hardest camera to part with of all the cameras I own. The pictures are super sharp and you feel like you are using a real camera. My 35mm equipment is great (two X-700's) but if it were not for the speed of use and the lenses I have, they would be sitting on the shelf. I also have a digital Nikon DSLR, but don't even get me started on that. I didn't mention that the RB that I have now that had to be fixed cost about $125 I think. So I have about $425 in it. I'm not sorry though. Each camera came with WLF and 127mm lense, 120 back. Had I known I was only going to get $120 for the one I sold on ebay, I would have kept it. Ric.

WNC rural areas face serious health care shortages
About one in five North Carolinians, or 2.2 million people, live in a rural county and are therefore less likely to have access to health care services, according to the Mountain Area Health Education Center, which works to train health care professionals for this part of the state.
All 16 counties in Western North Carolina are considered health professional shortage areas, meaning areas with too few providers to meet the health care needs of the population, the education center reports. [read full article]
UNC School of Medicine Program Helps Rural NC
Going into primary care in rural areas has never been the most lucrative option for graduating medical students, but the UNC School of Medicine is trying to address this through the Kenan Primary Care Medical Scholars Program. With funding from the William R. Kenan Jr. Charitable Trust and the knowledge that the medical school lacked doctors in rural areas of North Carolina, the program accepted its first class in 2013. It recently interviewed and accepted applicants for its third class of scholars. [read full article]
Transformative Training in Western North Carolina
Since MAHEC's earliest days, its core mission has been to strengthen the healthcare workforce that serves its 16-county coverage area in Western North Carolina.

The rural medicine program is a collaboration between the UNC School of Medicine (UNC SOM), The William R. Kenan, Jr. Charitable Trust and MAHEC. Established in 2013, students from UNC SOM with an interest in medicine for rural/underserved communities receive financial support, a summer internship and enrichment experiences in medical school to sharpen their focus.

WNC needs more primary care providers
"Your first patient might be a newborn, and then you see a 90-year-old woman and then a pregnant woman," she said. "Not every doctor is comfortable treating that wide range of patients," said Dr. Elsie Osei-Nkansah, MAHEC graduate.
"I think it (primary care) is probably the most challenging thing you can do," he said. "You are taking care of pediatrics, adults. … It's a huge field," said Dr. Ben Stepp, MAHEC graduate. [read full article]

Year after year many cows in the tropical and subtropical areas of the world die of starvation.
Often the dry season lasted just a little longer than usual or the rainy season was not as prolific as expected and rarely a catastrophic and unforeseeable drought is to blame…
Over centuries farmers in the colder regions of the world have learned to cope with winters when not a single blade of grass will grow for months on end. Their continued success can be attributed to long term storage and conservation of forages and meticulous planning.
And curiously enough, it is only in the world's really hot regions that the quality and feeding value of forages can actually be improved through conservation! Meaning that you can feed more cows, who will give more milk, with the same amount of silage compared to the original forage you started out with!
You think this is impossible?

Raising goats for meat production in Kenya can be a worthwhile initiative. Red meat business is currently underexploited in the country despite the vast opportunities that exists both locally and internationally. The two main indigenous goat breeds, i.e. the Small East African Goat and the Galla have great potential due to their characteristics and adaptability to a wide range of climatic conditions in the country.

As opposed to natural methods where the hen sits on the eggs, commercial hatcheries customarily rely on artificial incubators. Chicken hatchery business is more than the ordinary raising of chicken. It basically entails the regular production and supply of day old chicks by artificial incubation.
There can be variations in the nature of the hatcheries such that it may be part of a breeding farm, an arrangement where day old chicks and parent stocks are produced or where the breeding stock is not maintained but eggs are purchased to produce day old chicks.

Although livestock markets are spread throughout the country there are no live pig markets in Kenya. This is owing to the many problems that have faced the pig industry in the past. Traders move from village to village looking for pigs where live pigs are sold at the farm gate. They then transport the live pigs to the various destinations where money exchange hands. However Farmer's Choice Limited does not buy live pigs. Instead farmers transport them to the factory and are paid according to cold dressed weight (CDW) after slaughter.

Uncompiled maps (VMF)Nov 22, 2010 Demo 0 comments
I'm releasing these so you can look at them or try building a little yourself. There is a large VTF texture included. It is needed for the "WTC" map...
The mod you are trying to view has ceased development and consequently been archived. If you are a member of this mod, can demonstrate that it is being actively developed and will be able to keep this profile up to date with the latest news, images, videos and downloads, please contact us with all details and we will consider its re-activation.
Formerly meant to be a L4D campaign, I am making various retro NY settings in highly detailed 3D for the Unreal 3 Engine.
Unreal 3 engine is free, and so is this project. Without buying any games (like you have to do when its a mod), without spending one penny.. You'll be able to walk around inside the World Trade Center again as it was 25 years ago.
You'll be able to see Times Square before the urban renewal of the 90s.
Unreal 3 Engine provides maximum quality. See this video of Unreal 3 in action.
Source engine, I do not miss you. :V
Help is welcome.

Did anyone here capture any photos or videos of the World Trade Center?
I'm having trouble finding references for the lobby of the towers in general. Most shots are viewing the windows/exterior columns, and not the interior. Majority of references are not the elevators, or showing the hallway in the center of the core that cuts through on the concourse level.
I'm trying to find stuff from 70s or 80s preferably, but even something from as late as 2001 will suffice, better than nothing.
Ask around will ya? It has me kinda stumped, because these blueprints only tell so much.
I'm ready to start detailing and texturing the inside, just need more references.
The sooner I get that done, I'll have a demo for you guys ;)
I'm releasing these so you can look at them or try building a little yourself. There is a large VTF texture included. It is needed for the "WTC" map...
As you go up the elevator, you should see thousands of zombies, that would be scary. It would be even more scarier if you had to fight them all...
I was working on a campaign similar to this one, but takes place inside the empire state building. Anyways, do what you got to do to make this campaign the best yet.
what will i need to play the game like do i need like unreal and can u transfer over anything from source engine
You don't need to buy anything. When I release this it will be free and stand-alone.
Also, I have to rebuild geometry. Can't use Hammer Brushes.
I'm just focusing on building WTC for now since I have entire blueprints for that.
so mod dead right
I'm making for UDK now. Source just couldn't handle the detail or lighting I wanted.
Well how i much know,there are gangs in NY and they are probavly well equiped for armed civilian(criminal)...
So there should be like survivers, gang members hiding and shooting zombies, few ak"s, an rpg from russians and some autoshotguns from SWAT :D
Anyone good with texturing?
If you need help in understanding NYC's layout a bit more, I literally live right next to Manhattan, over in New Jersey. I can be of some help.
yea same

Published on Tuesday, March 03, 2015
By Ernest Lampe, MD
The physician-patient relationship is one of the foundational aspects of the practice of medicine. For the relationship to thrive, patients must trust that their physicians have their welfare and best interests in mind. It sounds easier than it really is. Medicine is complex and changing, the business of medicine is dynamic and very competitive, and both the health system and broader society in which all of us work is fickle in its demands and expectations. Physicians – both individually and collectively – have occasionally wavered. But the viability of medicine as a true profession demands that we continuously strive to focus on the principles of our profession.
The pressures on the physician-patient relationship come from many different places. Unfortunately, it has even occasionally been challenged by our partners in health care – hospitals. Take the case of Avera Marshall Regional Medical Center Staff vs. Avera Marshall Regional Medical Center. It took 14 months, but the Minnesota Supreme Court finally came to the right conclusion in the case and recognized the unique and legally protected role that hospital medical staffs play in ensuring the quality of medical care delivered to hospital patients.
The MMA plays a critical role in protecting the medical profession and patient care, as was well demonstrated by its active engagement in the Avera Marshall case. But challenges continue to surface – whether it is from government looking to gag physicians' ability to talk about the safety of children in homes where a gun may be present; to health plans imposing prior authorization requirements that defy clinical rationale; to our employers or practices establishing productivity, referral or other policies; or to the media fanning vaccine safety fears.
The MMA will be examining these and other emerging challenges to the physician-patient relationship on Saturday, April 25, at its first-ever, day-long Health Policy Conference, convened by the MMA Policy Council. What forces are you experiencing that strain your relationship with patients? What more could the MMA be doing to preserve the trust relationship between patients and doctors?
The MMA is dedicated to combatting these threats to our profession. But we need your help to better understand what is happening in your community and in your practice and to help identify solutions.
As we saw in the Avera Marshall case, the MMA can and does make a difference in protecting physicians' ability to independently protect the interests of patient care.
Ernest Lampe, MD, is chair of the MMA's Policy Council.
