The Iowa Food Assistance Program helps families stretch their food dollars so they can meet their basic food needs.
AMES, Iowa -- Recently USDA reported that nearly 12 percent of Iowa households were "food insecure" in 2009; meaning they had difficulty providing enough food for all household members due to insufficient resources. It's a 4 percent increase from 1998.
The number of households obtaining emergency food from food pantries also has increased dramatically. Between 2007 and 2009, the number of U.S. households using food pantries rose by 44 percent — from 3.9 to 5.6 million households. In the Midwest, the increase was 65 percent.
One way to counter the increase in food insecurity and food pantry usage is Food Assistance, a program administered by the Iowa Department of Human Services to help people with very limited income buy nutritious food.
The Iowa Food Assistance Program helps families stretch their food dollars so they can meet their basic food needs, said Kimberly Greder, a human development and family studies associate professor and specialist with Iowa State University Extension.
Food Assistance: Keeping You Healthy from Iowa State University Extension on Vimeo.
"Many Iowa households — like others across the country — have experienced job losses, declining incomes, home foreclosures and reduced net worth. These financial challenges also affect their food security — the likelihood that they have consistent, dependable access to enough food for active, healthy living," Greder said.
That's why ISU Extension is beginning a three-part outreach project to educate Iowans about Food Assistance and how it can help Iowans with limited incomes meet their food needs.
The project is targeted to older Iowans and individuals who access food at food pantries, Greder said. "We want Iowans with limited incomes to know that Food Assistance is a resource to help them buy nutritious food so that more of their income is available to meet other expenses, such as housing, transportation and medicine. Often, individuals with limited incomes struggle to meet these basic living needs. When people's basic living needs are not met, they are at much greater risk for physical and mental health problems, as well as less able to adequately nurture their families and be active, contributing members of their communities."
Extension will reach older Iowans through a peer-to-peer program, Greder explained. In 2011, ISU Extension will be training volunteers with Retired Senior Volunteer Programs (RSVP) who will go to places where older adults gather, such as congregate meal sites and community centers, in several Iowa counties.
The volunteers will explain how Food Assistance can stretch limited income to help purchase food for good health, as well as the eligibility requirements and how to apply. Individuals who would like help completing an online application can call the participating RSVP office to request to meet with a volunteer.
In March, ISU Extension will be partnering with food pantries in several Iowa counties to survey their clients.
"We hope to determine how widespread food insecurity is among people who visit food pantries," Greder said. "We'll also ask about their participation in the Food Assistance program and what they perceive as barriers to participation."
In addition, the survey will gather data on the prevalence of certain health risks, such as diabetes and heart disease, among food pantry clients, Greder said.
In the third part of the outreach effort, ISU Extension will collaborate with food pantries in Henry, Scott, Wayne and Woodbury counties to provide short face-to-face information sessions on Food Assistance for their clients.
The Iowa Department of Human Services also is partnering with the Iowa Food Bank Association and the Des Moines Area Religious Council (DMARC) to help Iowans with limited incomes learn about Food Assistance and how it potentially can help them meet their food needs. For more information about these efforts, contact Jordan Vernoy, Iowa Food Bank Association, firstname.lastname@example.com and Sarai Rice, DMARC, firstname.lastname@example.com.

Neill's Pompeii #1
Our planned 1000mm Pompeii oven is becoming reality after a relatively short planning period.
Thanks to Forno Bravo and this forum, the decision to build such a device will be a part of an upgrade of what is a fairly tired patio/pergola area that was built when we built the house 30 years ago.
The house is built on the high side of the road and excavated into the hillside, the double brick, reinforced concrete filled retaining wall is around 1200mm high and the oven is positioned in one of the corners. The top header course of bricks were removed and the foundations dug to give an adequate 3 reinforcing bar foundation which is also tied into the very substantial existing wall.
A sheet of Fortecon plastic damp course was placed over the clay base, 3 1/2 deformed reinforcement bars placed in the trench and tied to the starter bars which were drilled 150mm into the wall bricks and a double layer of F52 mesh placed over the rods.
I placed 2 x 1/4 copper tubes into the foundation to accommodate the thermocouples, one in the centre and the other to one side around 6 from the dome. This will allow me to establish the near surface temperature of the hearth, as the centre one will penetrate the brick to within 10 - 15mm whilst the other will measure the temperature between the fire brick and the insulation layer. This will give me a good idea of the amount of soak.

Re: Neill's Pompeii #2
Three quarters of a ton of concrete premix was collected and mixing of the conctete was done in my petrol 2.5 cubic foot mixer. Getting the concrete into the footings created a problem as I had to prepare a ramp up onto the existing barbecue benchtop which is 3 reinforced tiles concrete top. A substantial platform was placed on the top to cover the barbecue hole and the barrow pushed up the planks and then the concrete shovelled into the footings.
The next morning, I mixed the exfoliated vermiculite to the formula that other members recommended. Started with a 6:1 mix, (vermiculite : portland cement) but when mixing, I added a little more to make it almost 5:1. This is a very unusual material to use. I mixed it in the poly tray wheel barrow with a broad bladed fork to prevent the vermiculite from breaking up as it is quite brittle. Mixing the two components dry was easy but spraying water onto the mix washed off the cement which was a little off putting until you mixed it again. Care needed to ensure that a pool of wet cement slurry was not remaining in the bottom of the barrow, but you should not have that much water in the mix. Wet enough for it to hold together but not too wet. I continued to add water until the mix held together when squeezed in a clench fist and a little liquid cement oozed through my fingers. Not too much water which would reduce the strength of the mix, but sufficient to do the job. I checked the layer out late last night (60 hours from pouring), and although it has a little compressibility on the surface, is quite firm and will harden up in the next week or two.
I collect the heavy angle iron today for the door frame and will bend the lintel and weld it to the angle support brackets for the oven doors to seal against at the oven opening.
The doors will be cast iron, complete with sliding vents to control draught which will be cast at a local foundry once I have made the patterns. Still running some ideas through my head as to methods of holding the rope seals in place.
To reduce the cost of the oven, (as the recommended fire bricks are around Aus$5 each plus around $250 delivery), I bought 200 second hand ones from an old abbertoirs hot water/stream boiler for $1.00 each. Had to sort them out from 3 palettes and got most in pretty good condition. Only trouble is that there is 5 or 6 different manufacturers and a slight size change between them. This will not cause any problems except for the hearth, as the bricks will be sawn in halves and sorted to reduce any size variation problems. I plan on bedding the best bricks on a very thin sand/fireclay bed (around 1-2mm) without cementing them in, and then dressing them to a nice flat cooking surface.
I plan on using a cement/lime/fireclay/sand mix for the mortar, without going for the latest refactory mortars. Lets face it, the ancient ovens were built without these materials and for the use and expected life of the oven, will do me and my family.
Will post more pics and running commentary as the oven progresses.

Re: Neill's Pompeii #3
The brickwork has begun. Made the steel door frame and laid it out on the ground using some of the tapered fire bricks. Looks like it is going to work out. Note the two different tapers available.
I phoned to check on availability and price of fire clay from a local supplier, Aus$20 for 1.5Kg or $100 for a 20Kg bag. Way too much for this boy so I checked with the company who supplied my vermiculite and although they are not continuing to stock it, a surprising $30 per 25Kg bag was much better, so it pays to keep tabs on your suppliers. Called in and got some more cement and bricky sand on the way home, made the steel frame and then and laid out the arches. Started the brickwork yesterday and made the pattern support for the front arch this afternoon. Thought Id get it done today and hey with a little effort, the last 5 tapered pavers from the pool surrounds some15 years ago, it is done all bar the final cleanup tomorrow.
I can now start the smoke chamber and flue, which I plan on using either heavy weight galvanized steel or stainless and then run the flue in stainless skyward. I plan on screwing it to the back of the facia arch bricks, the side and oven entrance arch bricks.
I collect the diamond saw in the morning from a mate so I will cut all of the bricks for the soldiers and also the dome bricks. Using the 9 angle grinder with a diamond blade is a little dangerous especially when you need both hands on the grinder and you hold the bricks with your feet.
I need to cut the top angle on each soldier and do a little special cutting for two adjacent the opening which will be grooved to accommodate the angle door frame. I want it to be able to slide if it expands without putting pressure on the dome. This will be achieved by putting a tag at the top of the angle to locate the height and allow the frame sides to expand down into or between the hearth bricks.
I will be using the standard mortar mix, as in Russel Jeavons book, but also with some fireclay in it as well rather than the lime. Will make up some samples and test them out tomorrow. Russells ovens are fine and are used 3 days a week without any problems for many years. I plan only to use it maybe twice a month unless something special grabs me to use more frequently.
All going to plan and hopefully get into the dome next weekend.
Will post the next episode once it happens.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama slipped out of the White House for a run to a nearby Starbucks, ahead of the knot of White House reporters who normally accompany him when he leaves the White House grounds.
The short jaunt without reporters disregarded a longstanding tradition of the White House ensuring that reporters keep the president in sight.
Obama and chief of staff Denis McDonough left the White House at mid-afternoon. Upon learning that Obama was on the move, White House communications director Jennifer Palmieri attempted to mobilize reporters to a nearby Dunkin Donuts, apparently the shop Obama and McDonough initially planned to visit.
Instead, the two headed for Starbucks, avoiding most reporters.
Palmieri said that before leaving Obama patted her on the back and said, quote, "The bear's loose," referring to himself.

Family's delight as pitbull Zeus is saved from 'death row'
Posted: June 26, 2014|
A MAN has been reunited with his beloved dog after it spent 'nine months on death row' for biting a woman on her backside.
Nicholas Stock's two-year-old dog Zeus was taken away by police officers to a kennel in September last year after he nipped a 60-year-old woman in Balaclava Street in St Thomas.
The woman was taken to Singleton Hospital where she was treated for the wound and received a tetanus jab.
After the incident the family, from Sketty, say Zeus was taken away to 'dog custody' in Bridgend and was on 'death row'.

Mr Stock, 24, said: "I've had Zeus since he was eight-weeks-old.
"When he was taken away I was devastated, it was like losing an arm.
"It has been really hard without him and I did not think I would get him back.
"I thought he was going to be put down.
"However I did not give up hope and I am absolutely ecstatic to get him back."
After a nine month fight Zeus returned home on Tuesday.
Mr Stock said yesterday: "I woke up this morning feeling very hyperactive and have felt happy all day. It is the best news I have heard all year. I am definitely going to spoil Zeus now he is back."
Mr Stock's mother, Jennifer, said the family were very happy to get Zeus back.
Mrs Stock said: "He was on death row and could have been put down.
"I have six grandchildren and they all love him. I would trust him with anybody.
"He is such a softy and a great dog.
"We never had any issues before."
Mr Stock was convicted in February this year of being in possession of a prohibited breed as the dog was a pitbull type.
He was told to pay £165 by Swansea Magistrates Court.
Now the courts have finally agreed Zeus could return home but with strict conditions.
He will have to wear a muzzle when out and about in public.

Following on a thread in the New Users section ( http://www.daz3d.com/forums/viewthread/18806/ ) has any given any thought to a Gimp Bridge, similar to the Photoshop Bridge that DAZ offers for free? Gimp is powerful enough for most DAZ Studio uses, and (like DAZ Studio) is free. I figure that if someone could get it to work, they could probably charge a modest fee - in line with Garibaldi and other hi-end plugins - and still get decent traffic.
Just puttin' it out there.

Applications of low-frequency (20 KHz) ultrasound enhances transdermal transport of high-molecular weight proteins. This method includes a simultaneous application of ultrasound and protein on the skin surface in order to deliver therapeutic doses of proteins across the skin. Examples demonstrate in vitro and in vivo administration of insulin (molecular weight 6,000 D), and in vitro administration of gamma interferon (molecular weight 17,000 D), and erythropoeitin (molecular weight 48,000 D).
1. A method for collecting an analyte to be measured in a blood or lymph sample comprising
applying at an appropriate site for collection of a blood or lymph sample an effective amount of ultrasound at a frequency between 20 kH and 1.5 MHz to extract analyte in the absence of penetration enhancers and
collecting the blood or lymph sample at the site where the ultrasound is applied.
2. The method of claim 1 wherein the ultrasound is applied at an intensity of between 0 and 3 W/cm2.
3. The method of claim 2 wherein the ultrasound is applied at a frequency between 20 kHz and 45 kHz.
4. The method of claim 1 wherein the intensity is between zero and 1 W/cm2.
5. The method of claim 1 wherein the analyte is collected into a reservoir.
6. The method of claim 1 wherein the ultrasound is administered to make a puncture in the skin for withdrawal of analyte.
7. The method of claim 1 wherein the ultrasound is administered in pulses.
This is a divisional of U.S. application Ser. No. 08/511,583 filed on Aug. 4, 1995, by Samir S. Mitragotri, Daniel Blankschtein and Robert S. Langer entitled "Transdermal Protein Delivery or Measurement Using Low-Frequency Sonophoresis," pending and a continuation in part of U.S. application Ser. No. 08/152,442 filed on Nov. 15, 1993, by Jonathan A. Eppstein, Deborah A. Eppstein, Joseph Kost and Robert S. Lunger entitled "Enhancement of Transdermal Monitoring Applications with Ultrasound and Chemical Enhancers", now U.S. Pat. No. 5,458,140.
The present invention is generally in the area of drug delivery, and is particularly an improved method for transdermal drug delivery.
The United States government has rights in this invention by virtue of NIH grant GM44884 to R. Langer.
Transdermal drug delivery (TDD) offers several advantages over traditional delivery methods including injections and oral delivery. When compared to oral delivery, TDD avoids gastrointestinal drug metabolism, reduces first-pass effects, and provides sustained release of drugs for up to seven days, as reported by Elias, In Percutaneous Absorption: Mechanisms-Methodology-Drag Delivery., Bronaugh, R. L., Maibach, H. 1. (Ed), pp 1-12, Marcel Dekker, New York, 1989. The word "transdermal", is used herein as a generic term. However, in actuality, transport of drugs occurs only across the epidermis where the drug gets absorbed in the blood capillaries. When compared to injections, TDD eliminates the associated pain and the possibility of infection. Theoretically, the transdermal route of drug administration could be advantageous in the delivery of many therapeutic proteins, because proteins are susceptible to gastrointestinal degradation and exhibit poor gastrointestinal uptake, proteins such as interferons are cleared rapidly from the blood and need to be delivered at a sustained rate in order to maintain their blood concentration at a high value, and transdermal devices are easier to use than injections.
In spite of these advantages, very few drugs and no proteins or peptides are currently administered transdermally for clinical applications because of the low skin permeability to drugs. This low permeability is attributed to the stratum corneum (SC), the outermost skin layer which consists of flat, dead cells filled with keratin fibers (keratinocytes) surrounded by lipid bilayers. The highly-ordered structure of the lipid bilayers confers an impermeable character to the SC (Flynn, G. L., In Percutaneous Absorption: Mechanisms-Methodology-Drug Delivery.; Bronaugh, R. L., Maibach, H. I. (Ed), pages 27-53, Marcel Dekker, New York, 1989). Several methods, which include chemical enhancers (Burnette, R. R. In Developmental Issues and Research Initiatives; Hadgraft J., G., R. H., Eds., Marcel Dekker: 1989; pp. 247-288) and electricity (Prausnitz Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 90, 10504-10508 (1993); Walters, K. A., in Transdermal Drug Delivery: Developmental Issues and Research Initiatives, Ed. Hadgraft J., Guy, R. H., Marcel Dekker, 1989), have been proposed to enhance transdermal drug transport. However, the efficacy of these methods in enhancing transdermal protein transport has been limited by the large protein size and relatively low electric charge on the proteins.
Ultrasound has been shown to enhance transdermal transport of low-molecular weight drugs (molecular weight less than 500) across human skin, a phenomenon referred to as sonophoresis (Levy, J. Clin Invest. 1989, 83, 2974-2078; Langer, R., In "Topical Drug Bioavailability, Bioequivalence, and Penetration"; pp. 91-103, Shah V. P., M. H. I., Eds. (Plenum: New York, 1993); Frideman, R. M., `Interferons: A Primer`, Academic Press, New York, 1981)). In a recent study of sonophoresis, it has been shown that application of ultrasound at therapeutic frequencies (1 MHz) induces growth and oscillations of air pockets present in the keratinocytes of the SC (a phenomenon known as cavitation). These oscillations disorganize the SC lipid bilayers thereby enhancing transdermal transport. However, application of therapeutic ultrasound does not induce transdermal transport of high-molecular weight proteins.
Transdermal drug delivery offers an advantageous alternative to oral delivery and injections. However, its applications are restricted to only a few drugs because of the extremely low skin permeability to drugs. A variety of approaches have been suggested to enhance transdermal transport of drugs. These include: i) use of chemicals to either modify the skin structure or to increase the drug concentration in the transdermal patch (Junginger, et al. In "Drug Permeation Enhancement"; Hsieh, D. S., Eds., pp. 59-90 (Marcel Dekker, Inc. New York 1994); ii) applications of electric fields to create transient transport pathways [electroporation] or to increase the mobility of charged drugs through the skin [iontophoresis], and iii) application of ultrasound [sonophoresis].
U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,309,989 to Fahim and 4,767,402 to Kost, et al., disclose various ways in which ultrasound has been used to achieve transdermal drug delivery.
Sonophoresis has been shown to enhance transdermal transport of various drugs. Although a variety of ultrasound conditions have been used for sonophoresis, the most commonly used conditions correspond to the therapeutic ultrasound (frequency in the range of 1 MHz-3 MHz, and intensity in the range of 0-2 W/cm2) (Kost, In Topical Drug Bioavailability Bioequivalence and Penetration, pp. 91-103, Maibach, H. I., Shah, V. P. (Ed) Plenum Press, New York, 1993; U.S. Pat. No. 4,767,402 to Kost, et al.). It is a common observation that the typical enhancement induced by therapeutic ultrasound is less than ten-fold. In many cases, no enhancement of transdermal drug transport has been observed upon ultrasound application. Accordingly, a better selection of ultrasound parameters is needed to induce a higher enhancement of transdermal drug transport by sonophoresis.
About 14 million people in the U.S. are currently suffering from diabetes of which about 1.5 million are treated by insulin administration the conventional treatment of diabetes involves checking blood glucose levels using finger pricking one or two times a day followed by injections of appropriate amounts of insulin. Although this method provides short term blood glucose control, it offers little patient compliance and results in high rates of long-term diabetic complications such as retinopathy, nephropathy and neuropathy. In order to minimize the long-term complications of diabetes, intensive treatment (insulin delivery three or more times a day accompanied by blood glucose measurements four or more times a day) has been suggested. It has been shown that an intensive treatment of diabetes resulted in about 75% decrease in the risk of developing retinopathy in diabetic patients compared to the conventional therapy. However, intensive treatment of diabetes is not practice by many patients due to pain and discomfort associated with multiple blood glucose measurements and insulin injections. Accordingly, development of a non-invasive blood glucose monitoring method would assist patients adopt intensive treatment.
It is therefore an object of the present to provide an improved, painless method for obtaining a patient sample for measurement of analytes in blood or other body fluids.
Applications of low-frequency (20 KHz) ultrasound enhances transdermal transport of high-molecular weight proteins.
It has been discovered that ultrasound can be used to measure the concentration of analytes in body fluids such as blood or lymph. Examples demonstrate measurement of blood glucose in vitro and in vivo.
FIG. 1A is a graph of glucose concentration in the donor compartment (measured as percent of received glucose) over time (minutes) in an in vitro system.
FIG. 1B is a graph of glucose concentration in the donor compartment (mg/dl) after ten minutes as a function of glucose concentration in the receiver compartment (mg/dl).
FIG. 2 is a graph of the glucose concentration extracted transdermally by sonophoresis at 20 KHz, 62.5 mW/cm2, continuous, 1 minute) in vivo with the blood glucose level (mg/dl) of hairless rats.
As used herein, sonophoresis is the application of ultrasound to the skin on which a drug, most preferably proteinaceous in nature, alone or in combination with a carrier, penetration enhancer, lubricant, or other pharmaceutically acceptable agent for application to the skin, has been applied. Ultrasound is defined as sound at a frequency of between 20 kHz and 10 MHz, with intensities of between greater than 0 and 3 W/cm2. As used herein, "low frequency" sonophoresis is ultrasound at a frequency that is less than 1 MHz, more typically in the range of 20 to 40 KHz, which is preferably applied in pulses, for example, 100 msec pulses every second at intensities in the range of between zero and 1 W/cm2, more typically between 12.5 mW/cm2 and 225 mW/cm2. Exposures are typically for between 1 and 10 minutes, but may be shorter and/or pulsed. The intensity should not be so high as to raise the skin temperature more than about one to two degrees Centigrade.
Many ultrasound devices are available commercially which can be used in the method described herein. For example, the ultrasonic devices used by dentists to clean teeth have a frequency of between about 25 and 40 KHz. Commercially available portable ultrasound tooth-brushes make use of a small sonicator contained within the tooth-brush (Sonex International Corporation). This sonicator is portable and operates on rechargeable batteries. Small pocket-size sonicators carried by patients and used to "inject" drugs whenever required could be readily adapted from these devices. In addition, these devices could be potentially combined with sensors that can monitor drug concentrations in the blood to formulate a self-controlled drug (insulin, for example) delivery method that can potentially eliminate the attention required by the patient.
Devices typically used for therapeutic or diagnostic ultrasound operate at a frequency of between 1.6 and 10 MHz. These devices can also be modified for use at lower frequencies.
An optimal selection of ultrasound parameters, such as frequency, pulse length, intensity, as well as of non-ultrasonic parameters, such as ultrasound coupling medium, can be conducted to ensure a safe and efficacious application using the guidelines disclosed herein as applied by one of ordinary skill in the art.
Measurement of Analytes
Analytes to be Measured
A variety of analytes are routinely measured in the blood and/or lymph. Measurements usually require making a puncture in order to withdraw sample. Examples of typical analytes that can be measured include blood sugar (glucose), cholesterol, bilirubin, creatine, various metabolic enzymes, hemoglobin, heparin, vitamin K or other clotting factors, uric acid, carcinoembryonic antigen or other tumor antigens, and various reproductive hormones such as those associated with ovulation or pregnancy.
Measurement of Analytes
The ultrasound is applied to the skin at the site where the sample is to be collected. A reservoir or collecting container is applied to the site for collection of the sample, which is then measured using standard techniques. The ultrasound conditions are optimized as in the case for drug delivery, to maximize analyte recovery, while maintaining the relative levels of the analyte to other components of the sample.
The present invention will be further understood by reference to the following non-limiting examples.
Application of low-frequency ultrasound can be used to extract glucose across the skin, thus making non-invasive transdermal blood glucose monitoring potentially feasible.
Materials and Methods:
In Vitro Transdermal Transport Measurements:
Transdermal transport of a 14 C labeled (New England Nuclear) as well as non-labeled (Sigma Chemicals) was studied in the presence as well as in the absence of low-frequency ultrasound. The permeability experiments were performed in vitro using human cadaver skin obtained from local hospitals. The skin was heat stripped by keeping the full-thickness skin in water at 60� C. for two minutes followed by the removal of the epidermis. The skin was then stored at 4� C. in a humidified chamber for up to 2 weeks. A piece of the epidermis was taken out from the chamber prior to the experiments and was mounted on a Franz diffusion cell (Crown Glass Co., FDC 200). The Franz diffusion cell consists of two compartments, the donor and the receiver compartments, with the stratum comeum facing the donor compartment. The skin was supported by a nylon mesh (Tetko, Inc.) to avoid any damage due to possible mechanical oscillations upon ultrasound application. The donor and receiver compartments were then clamped. The receiver compartment was filled Phosphate Buffer Saline (PBS, phosphate concentration=0.01M, NaCl concentration=0.137M) (Sigma Chemicals Co.) The donor compartment was filled with a solution of either radiolabelled glucose (1 mCi/ml) or non-labeled glucose (concentration in the range of 50 mg/dL to 300 mg/dL) in separate experiments. The concentration of the permeant in the receiver compartment was measured every 5 minutes using a scintillation counter (model 2000 CA, Packard) in the case of radiolabelled glucose and using a commercially available kit (Sigma Chemicals) in the case of unlabeled glucose.
Ultrasound was applied using a sonicator (VCX 400, Sonics and Materials) operating at a frequency of 20 KHz. The ultrasound intensity was measured using a hydrophone (Model 8106, Bruel and Kjaer).
FIG. 1A shows the glucose concentration in the donor compartment (represented as percent of the glucose concentration in the receiver compartment) attained at different times during transdermal glucose extraction experiment. The figure shows that even a 5 minute ultrasound application (20 KHz, 125 mW/cm2, continuous) results in a significant glucose transport across human skin in vitro. Specifically, the glucose concentration in the donor compartment after 5 minutes of sonophoresis is about 0.5% of that in the receiver compartment. After 10 minutes, the glucose concentration in the donor compartment was about 2% of that in the receiver compartment. The glucose concentration in this range can be measured in situ using glucose sensing electrodes, and can be calibrated to indicate actual blood glucose levels. The amount of glucose extracted by sonophoresis under a given condition varies in the case of skin obtained from different donors (typical variation 40% (SD). However, the variation in the case of skin obtained from the same donor is only about 13%, thus indicating that it should be possible to achieve reliable estimates of glucose concentrations based on transdermal glucose extraction after performing calibration in vivo on the patient's skin.
Additional experiments were performed to assess whether the amount of glucose transported by sonophoresis is proportional to the glucose concentration in the receiver compartment. In separate experiments, glucose concentration in the receiver solution was varied from 50 mg/dL to 350 mg/dL (typical variation in the blood glucose level of a diabetic patient) and performed sonophoresis using ultrasound (20 KHz, 125 mW/cm2, continuous) for 10 minutes. FIG. 3B shows that the glucose concentration attained in the donor compartment 10 minutes after sonophoresis (represented as percentage of the glucose concentration in the receiver compartment) increased from 0.5 mg/dL to 6.5 mg/dL as glucose concentration in the receiver compartment increased from 50 mg/dL to 350 mg/dL. The line shown in FIG. 1B represents the best fit. These results show that the amount of glucose extracted across human skin is proportional to the glucose concentration under the skin, thus indicating that transdermal glucose extraction by sonophoresis could be potentially used for blood glucose measurement.
Example 2: Transdermal glucose extraction by sonophoresis in vivo.
Materials and Methods:
In Vivo Transport Experiments:
In vivo experiments were performed to assess the efficacy of sonophoresis across living skin. Hairless rats (Charles River, 8-12 weeks old, either sex) were used as an animal model for these studies, since it has been shown that the transport properties of hairless rat skin is comparable to that of human skin (Wester, Animal Models for Percutaneous Absorption, In Topical Drug Bioavailability, Bioequivalence, and Penetration, Shah V. P. and M. H. L., eds. (Plenum Press, NY 1993)). The hairless rats were anesthetized with a mixture of ketamine (60 mg/kg) and xylazine (10 mg/kg). After about an hour in anesthesia, a flanged glass cylinder (Crown Glass Company, diameter 20 mm, height 2 cm) was glued on the rat's back using a minimal amount of superglue (Permabond International) or vacuum grease (Dow Chemicals) on the outer edge of the flange. The center of the cylinder was located about 3 cm from the rear end of the rat. This particular site was chosen to avoid application of ultrasound directly on a sharp bone close to the body surface, which otherwise might have caused damage to the blood capillaries near the edge of the bone. The cylinder was filled with PBS (phosphate concentration =0.01M, NaCl concentration=0.137M) (Sigma Chemicals Co.). Ultrasound (20 KHz, 125 mW/cm2, continuous) was applied for 1 minute by immersing the transducer in the donor solution. The concentration of glucose in PBS was measured using an assay kit (Sigma Chemicals).
In vivo experiments were performed using normal as well as diabetic hairless rats to assess whether low-frequency ultrasound extracts glucose across living skin. FIG. 2 shows that application of ultrasound (20 KHz, 62.5, continuous, 1 minute, applied on side of the stomach) induces glucose extraction by an amount proportional to the rat blood glucose level. Specifically, the glucose concentration in the reservoir after extraction increased from 0.2 mg/dL to 1 mg/dL as the rat blood glucose level increased from about 200 mg/dL to 450 mg/dL in separate experiments. These results indicate that calibration curves relating glucose extracted transdermally and blood glucose level can be used for non-invasive blood glucose measurements.

3.0 out of 5 stars WHAT A SHAME!.
It's a shame that this is not as good as the other albums!. For me it seems that they rushed to finish it and with all of the other things that certain members of the band are doing it seems that it is interfering with the chemistry and ability of the band!. What a shame.

5.0 out of 5 stars It's a behemoth of an album.....,
In which our heroes discover Tool, unleash their inner prog, and in this reviewer's opinion cross the dividing line from "great", to "timeless".
I've followed Alter Bridge's career from its inception as "the good bits of Creed ditch that awful singer and get a really good one instead", through their first 3 albums (One Day Remains - solid if a little one paced, Blackbird - slightly less solid but redeemed by the frankly astounding title track, AB3 - not a bad album but so unremittingly doomy it's hard work, and that's coming from a Peter Hammill fan), and saw them from their first gigs at the sadly departed London Astoria, to their current UK arena headlining status. So it's pleasing, and a little surprising in an era where a four album career is such a rarity, to be able to report that Fortress is Alter Bridge's best album by a distance.
There's a whole load of advances from AB3, from the Spanish guitar and slightly proggy structure to Cry of Achilles, to the Jeff Buckley-esque vocal on Lover, through to the title track, which has a twin-guitar section that is up there with anything I've heard in god knows how many years. The incredibly Tool-influenced Uninvited (which features in a really niftily clever recapitulation (how prog is that?!) in the companion piece Cry a River), and the anthemically riffy Addicted to Pain are also worthy of mention. There's a really epic feel to a lot of this album - an earlier reviewever mentioned Physical Graffiti, and I can definitely see the comparison - it's very much the work of a band who are sufficiently comfortable in their own skin to take a song idea wherever they want.
One of the most positive things about the album is the work of the rhythm section, particularly Scott Phillips on drums. It may well be his powerful yet not overly-flashy, almost Bonham-esque approach to the grooves on the album that elevate this to one of my favourite albums of a long time. Myles Kennedy still has probably the best voice in Rock, as well as a very, very good ear for guitar orchestration, and Mark Tremonti hasn't recorded a finer album.
I like it. A lot. You will too, if you're a fan of hard rock done well. Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars You are witnessing a band on fire about to explode!!,
Mr. B. Wheatley "Benjy-man" (Uk) - See all my reviews
I knew as soon as the opening Spanish guitar came into my ears, this was going to be something different to what they had done before and nothing short of a killer record. Make no mistake about it this is Alter Bridge at their most heavy and approaching an explosive conclusion as a serious stadium rock band. Every album they've done so far has improved on it's predecessor and Fortress is their best album yet. They could have done the classic rock thing of having some success and playing to the radio… yet they've turned around, stuck two fingers up and done an album they wanted to do. This will annoy some commercial rock listeners and also some of their fare-weather fans. Personally I'm glad it does annoy people, that's how you really know it's good.
For me stand out tracks are: 'Cry of Achilles', 'Calm The Fire', 'Lover', 'Waters Rising' and the sure live hit 'All Ends Well'
Fortress is a real mix of metal, prog and classic rock with a definite Tremonti influence. That alone has pushed Myles into delivering some stunning vocal work on these tracks. It really is breath taking at times.
Ignore the bore 3-4 star reviews. This is a five star album from a band who are seriously on fire right now. Sit back, turn it up and let the eruption unfold in front of your eyes.

5.0 out of 5 stars Album of the year,
Alter Bridge have long been one of my favourite bands. I recall reviewing Blackbird and saying it was an amazing album full of fantastic songs. I'm pleased to say that after the superb ABIII, AB are back with what is easily their best album yet.
Clearly Mark Tremonti releasing his own album, Flip doing Projected and Myles Kennedy doing another album with Slash has meant they have reconvened with a serious purpose; To release the album of their lives.
There simply is no standout track as this is clearly a standout album in a genre marred by mediocrity. From the Tool like riffings of The Uninvited, the fist pumpingly anthemic Cry Of Achilles, the haunting and beautiful musings of Lover to the epic grandioseness of Fortress, you have an album that will grow on you very quickly and stay there forever. I admit this is quite an emotional album and will not be to everyones taste, but to me this is just sheer brilliance. There are mergings of different styles here that simply work well together and every musician is at 200% capacity. I haven't even mentioned the sheer power of Myles Kennedy's voice or the fact that Waters Rising lead by Tremonti is a wake up call to the fact he is an amazing vocalist!
If I could say anything else great about this album I would, all I can say is its a purchase I really don't regret and you won't either, it's that good.

5.0 out of 5 stars Read it !,
Short : Great hard rock album.Buy it !
Long : If you consider how many albums are worth it nowadays , you ' ll find , unfortunately , that they are a few. Let me tell you , that this one is one of the best albums ever , in the top 3 of the year for me ( Along with A7X's Hail to the king and Dream Theater's ) and probably a very strong step in Alter Bridge's discography. Amazing guitars , huge bass and great drums.The vocals are outstanding.It's Kennedy man , what do you expect ? The tracks , especially 'Cry Of Achilles' , are all a masterpiece of their own . The creativity stands very high for those guys. Would definitely suggest it to you !

Mr. J. S. Aridi - See all my reviews
From the introductory riff of Cry Of Achilles until the last lingering chords of Fotress fade away, this album is a solid demonstration of just how GOOD this band is. They've changed and improved vastly since One Day Remains, but remained true to their original ethos: brutally good guitar shreds and riffs, superb vocals and songwriting, and a total forgetfulness as to this "Creed" band.

5.0 out of 5 stars just buy it!!!!,
Mrs. Julie Sheldon "jame" (sheffield england) - See all my reviews
Followed rock bands all my life from sabbath and rush through to pearl jam etc, The point is i love rock / heavy rock and discovered alter bridge having followed Tremonti from Creed. They have simply just get better and better with me half expecting a turkey after their first three amazing albums and Tremonti and Kennedy working on their own stuff too (yes the Tremonti album is also superb). They are amazing live and hugely talented musicians, The only thing that surprises me is that there not in the stellar league with Myles Kennedy simply being an amazing find and the best rock singer out there and i include Brent Smith of Shinedown The album is their most complete yet and as the other reviews suggest probably their heaviest with amazing guitar interplay. A sign of a great album is no fillers where they run out of ideas and there's none on this. Its solid from start to finish and worth every one of the five stars. I am not picking any tracks out other than "waters rising" as Tremonti sings on it and yes the clever custards got a great rock voice too. Just keep it going chaps and for anybody who hasn't seen them live then make sure you do as they tour the uk this autumn with Shindown which is a double bonus.

T Abrahams (Essex, England) - See all my reviews
These guys are really talented musicians with the best vocalist in Rock. It is amazing they do not get any airplay on UK radio, people should be hearing this music. AB always manage to throw something new and exciting in the mix with their new albums and this does not disappoint. Do not expect a rerun of earlier albums - open your mind and listen to the beautiful vocals, lyrics and guitar playing - amazing. There's only one track i felt let them down but will leave that to you to check out. Go get it now, you will be glad you did - enjoy!

This review is from: Fortress [Amazon Exclusive With Guitar Pick Necklace] (Audio CD)
Bought this as there was an offer with a pick necklace (would have been buying the album anyway but this was a bonus!). The album is amazing. Not a bad track on it, totally recommend it. My favourite track changes but definitely between The Uninvited, Cry of Achilles and Waters Rising (Mark Tremonti and Myles Kennedy sharing vocals). Guitar pick necklace was claimed by my son to wear to the Glasgow gig!

5.0 out of 5 stars more great rock for the 21st century,
loud and melodic, better voice than axl, what's not to like about alter bridge. fortress is as good as blackbird, great to sing along to in the car. alter bridge grew out of creed but are not the same and even though the singer also records and tours with slash and the conspirators again they are not similar, alter bridge have their own identity.

I want to thank every one again for their input. This is my thinking so far. I have removed the Chevy/radiator and boat photos not only because they are the weakest but they don't fit in any way with the street photos. I think I will leave in the VW's because they are generally well liked (I like them also)and there is a little editorial comment there. I am keeping the stairs and the bench because those two also have been generally well received and I just want to have a few to go with the VW's. Also I have a slightly different crop on the bench and in person it looks much better than the scan.
I have included 3 extra street shots of which I will print 2 in my next darkroom session before the meeting. The three are "Die Young" (man smoking a cig.) "Calling Home" the 3 women making calls, and "Take Out" the man cooking. I'll probably just flip a coin unless I can get some additional input. Below is the link to the portfolio

And in Silwan, an East Jerusalem neighborhood threatened with a new Jewish "archaeological park" requiring the demolition of dozens of homes, Jeff Halper, a U.S.-Israeli peace campaigner, said, "We're really playing with fire here and it's undermining everything, and all of the Obama administration's efforts to try and bring some stability and even some reconciliation."
Allies said "Bibi" -- as Netanyahu is known in Israel -- likely proposed a new road map toward peace.
Specifically, Israeli Transportation Minister Yisrael Katz, a close Netanyahu ally, said he would call for a joint U.S.-Israel collaboration on an alternative Mideast peace policy, "which will replace previous initiatives such as the Arab initiative and the diplomatic dialogue conducted by the previous government."
Today, Netanyahu said it would be important to get other Arab states involved in a peace process.
"There's not a policy linkage between pursuing simultaneously peace between Israel and the Palestinians and the rest of the Arab world, and trying to deal with removing the threat of a nuclear Iran," Netanyahu said today. "There are causal links."
Obama recently met with Jordan's King Abdullah to discuss an "Arab Peace Initiative" to get states involved in a possible peace process. "My hope would be that over the next several months, that you start seeing gestures of good faith on all sides," Obama said in the April meeting. "I don't want to get into the details of what those gestures might be, but I think that the parties in the region probably have a pretty good recognition of what intermediate steps could be taken as confidence-building measures."
King Abdullah told AFP that Obama will soon unveil a new plan for Arab-Israeli peace negotiations.
"We expect an announcement from the U.S. administration," Abdullah said, "of its plan to restart negotiations to achieve a comprehensive solution."
Abdullah said "a resolution to the conflict is an American strategic interest. And we hope that it will announce this plan as soon as possible, because lost time undermines the chances for peace. There is a tremendous need to move quickly, seriously and effectively."
And the king warned that "the possibilities of a new round of violence, a new war, will increase and the region and the world will pay the price," if peace talks are further delayed.
While there was little public discussion following the meeting about whether Netanyahu committed to Obama to alerting the United States before attacking Iran's nuclear facilities, the country was certainly on top of the agenda.
In excerpts from a forthcoming Newsweek interview, the president says he gets the point. "I don't think it's my place to determine for the Israelis what their security needs are."
Regarding Iran's effort to go nuclear, he said, "We will do everything to make sure this doesn't happen.
"I understand very clearly that Israel considers Iran an existential threat, and given some of the statements that have been made by President Ahmadinejad, you can understand why. So their calculation of costs and benefits are going to be more acute. They're right there in range and I don't think it's my place to determine for the Israelis what their security needs are."
Still, Obama said "we are going to reach out" to Iran "and try to shift off of a pattern over the last 30 years that hasn't produced results in the region."

We haven't tested the game out to see what he looks like, so we'll have to take his word for it. Let's just hope they didn't undercut him when it came to his player rating; the triple-threat player threw for six TDs, rushed for nine, and caught three last season, and we all know how bent players can get if their video game ratings are low.

LAS VEGAS, July 13 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- GNC, the leading global specialty retailer of nutritional products, announced today clinical results for the first and only nitric oxide product, Amplified Maxertion N.O., proven to demonstrate a delay in the onset of neuromuscular fatigue. The key findings were unveiled at the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA) conference in Las Vegas, NV.
GNC's Amplified Maxertion N.O.(TM) was shown to increase power output at the onset of neuromuscular fatigue by an average of 20% and improve physical performance by helping athletes push past their normal point of exhaustion. This product is designed to increase nitric oxide levels in the body causing a hemodilation effect which expands blood vessels, allowing more blood, oxygen and nutrients to flow to muscles.
"This is truly groundbreaking research that has resulted in the delivery of a truly novel and clinically-validated product to the industry," said Guru Ramanathan, SVP Technology and Product Innovation for GNC. "Using advanced technology and ingredients, this is the first Nitric Oxide enhancing product to demonstrate significant athletic performance effects that are relevant and meaningful to all types of athletes."
The purpose of the double-blind placebo-controlled study was to examine the effects of daily administration of arginine-based supplements on the physical working capacity at the fatigue threshold (PWC(FT)). The PWC(FT) test estimates the highest power output that can be maintained without neuromuscular evidence of fatigue.
Using a cycle ergometer (stationary bicycle), all subjects performed an incremental test to exhaustion prior to supplementation and after four weeks of supplementation. Key study findings demonstrate significant mean increases in PWC(FT) for the 1.5 gm (22.4%) and 3.0 gm (18.8%) supplement groups, but no change for the placebo group (-1.6%).'/>"/>

We recently adopted a 4 year old female lab mix. She is fitting in with our family very well. I have had dogs all my life and am happy to have one again after having to put my last dog down just over a year ago.
Anyway, the only problem we are having is that at her former home (she only had one owner and a very short stay at a foster home before us) allowed her on the furniture. I do not allow dogs on the furniture and never have.
How do I teach her to stay off the furniture. She gets down when told, but is on the couches, chairs, etc., almost immediately when we turn our backs. Last night I slept on the couch (because I was sick) and ended up putting newspapers on the chairs to keep her from sleeping on them. In the morning, I found she had gone into my son's room and was sleeping with him in his bed.
The newpapers seemed to work, but I don't know that I would want to do that for very long and on all our furniture all the time. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

The Erie County Fair got off to a soggy start this morning but is on track for a beautiful day of babies and fair pageant contestants.
According to the Sandusky Register weather station, the area received over four inches of rain this morning.
Local Emergency Management Agency officials say the National Weather Service hasn't issued any watches or warnings for local tributaries or rivers, but they are monitoring the situation.
At the fairgrounds paths are wet, but busy.
"Things are going well. We have a little bit of water standing but it's being handled," said Sherri Fear of the fair office. " I think we will have a good day."

Rating: 5.0
By Daniel Farey-Jones, brandrepublic.com, Monday, 13 June 2011 03:15PM
The Media and Entertainment Barometer, conducted by YouGov, showed that 50% of tablet owners had used their gadget to watch video as of April.
This was up from a figure of 25% in the previous wave of the survey in September 2010.
Surfing the internet remained the most popular activity, up from 48% to 74%, ahead of reading emails, up from 41% to 66%.
The popularity of consuming media other than video also rose: reading newspapers from 16% to 25% and listening to radio from 15% to 24%.
The proportion of people saying they had used their tablet for social media rose from 28% to 50%.
The fourth wave of research was conducted in the first week of April and surveyed 2,103 consumers.
Ownership of tablets increased from 2% of the sample to 5%, while ownership of smartphones increased from 27% to 36%.

Made some more gear with the 21% enchanting potion
Now had Helmet, Gloves, Ring, and Necklace all with 26% alchemy
Was able to make a 29% enchanting potion with all four 26% alchemy gear equipped
Used the 29% enchanting potion and was able to make 27% alchemy gear
Equipped all four of the 27% alchemy gear but was only still able to make 29% enchanting potions
Good thing I came across DezMonD88's post about the Falmer Helmet being able to be equipped with a circlet. I was able to make a Falmer Helmet with 27% alchemy, and then I had a Circlet of Eminent Alchemy with 20% alchemy, along with my other three 27% alchemy gear, and now my enchanting potions are 32%.
Just made a Circlet with 27% alchemy, so that now I have five pieces of 27% alchemy gear, and now my enchanting potions are 33%. I drank the 33% enchanting potion, but it would still only let me make 27% alchemy gear, so 27% is definitely the alchemy cap and 33% for enchanting. Not sure how you got your numbers.
So the best possible set of Fortify gear is as follows:
Falmer Helmet (27% Fortify Alchemy)
Circlet (27% Fortify Alchemy)
Gloves (27% Fortify Alchemy / 27% Fortify Smithing)
Ring (27% Fortify Alchemy / 27% Fortify Smithing)
Necklace (27% Fortify Alchemy / 27% Fortify Smithing)
Armor (27% Fortify Smithing)
33% Fortify Enchanting Potion
132% Fortify Smithing Potion
I have the exact same set up, except mine caps at 23% for Fortify alchemy/smithing.
I make 32% fortify enchanting potion and 129% fortify smithing potion, so I guess the difference is quite negligible...

5 Responses to The 'Bird in Flight' house
You can tell that it is a 1960's house. It is absolutely wonderful! Graceful is an apt term.
So interesting because it makes me think the wave house architect for the house I did on my site got some of his inspiration from this awesome mid century house. Interesting that the furniture can be included. This is a must visit Mad Men TV house scouts.
This house is spectacular Sarah! Thanks for sharing!

I found your blog because I'm a friend of Jaina Bee, and wanted to see the new pics of her place. Anyway, it's now five hours later, and I can't stop looking at all these fantastic places. I'm a house fanatic too and this blog is wonderful! Thanks!

Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, who reached an agreement with Hamas in April that led to the formation of a unity government last month, called for acceptance of the proposal, the official Palestinian news agency WAFA said.
Abbas was due in Cairo on Wednesday for talks with President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, the Palestinian leader's spokesman said.
The Arab League, at a meeting on Monday, also welcomed the ceasefire plan.
Israel had mobilized tens of thousands of troops for a threatened Gaza invasion if the rocket volleys persisted.
"We still have the possibility of going in, under cabinet authority, and putting an end to (the rockets)," Amos Gilad, a senior Israeli defense official, said.
Under the proposal announced by Egypt's Foreign Ministry, high-level delegations from Israel and the Palestinian factions would hold separate talks in Cairo within 48 hours to consolidate the ceasefire with "confidence-building measures".
Hamas leaders have said any deal must include an end to Israel's blockade of Gaza and a recommitment to a truce reached in an eight-day war there in 2012.
Hamas also wants Egypt to ease curbs at its Rafah crossing with Gaza imposed after the military ousted President Mohamed Mursi, an Islamist, a year ago.
The Egyptian proposal made no mention of Rafah or when restrictions might be eased.
Hamas has faced a cash crisis and Gaza's economic hardship has deepened as a result of Egypt's destruction of cross-border smuggling tunnels. Egyptian authorities also accuse Hamas of assisting anti-government Islamist militants in Egypt's Sinai peninsula, an allegation the Palestinian group denies.
Hamas has said it also wants the release of hundreds of its activists arrested in the West Bank while Israel searched for the three missing teenagers.
The proposed truce also made no mention of the detainees.
Adnan Abu Amer, a political analyst in Gaza, said it appeared that Egypt had deliberately ensured that their initiative would fall short of Hamas's demands, in an attempt bid to make the movement look rejectionist.
"Egypt stood by Israel's side, as if it was trying to punish Hamas and give Israel some time to pursue its military campaign," he said.
