Now, three studies have further substantiated this model by providing important additional evidence to support a role for retromer in SorLA-dependent sorting of APP. Thus, work by Fjorback et al. finally confirmed a hexapeptide motif (FANSHY) in the cytoplasmic tail of SorLA as a binding site for Vps26, a subunit of the retromer complex. A SorLA mutant lacking the FANSHY motif retained APP-binding activity but failed to properly directe APP to the Golgi, resulting in increased amyloidogenic processing. In a study from the lab of Scott Small, immunocytochemical investigations were applied to elucidate, in detail, the trafficking routes taken by retromer complex in primary neurons. Gratifyingly, these studies confirmed the necessity of retromer to guide long-range transport of APP along the axonal path. Knockdown of Vps35, another subunit of the retromer complex, resulted in accumulation of APP in endosomal compartments, in increased colocalization with BACE, and in elevated levels of Aβ.
Finally, a new study published by Matthew Seaman and Lindsay Farrer and their colleagues identified genetic association of AD with several vesicular trafficking proteins. Amongst these, SNX3 and RAB7A were further shown to represent novel regulatory components to control membrane association of retromer. Taken together, these recent studies provide exciting new data that consolidate abnormal intracellular trafficking of APP by SORLA as an underlying cause of amyloidogenic processing. It will be exciting to learn more about the molecular mechanisms whereby sequence variations affect expression or activity of pathway components in individuals at risk of sporadic AD.

We would also like to draw attention to another issue covered by these interesting papers that is not fully settled—the site of action of the retromer. This has major implications for another unsolved problem—the intracellular site of production and accumulation of Aβ. Currently, it is accepted that the retromer plays a role in regulating the endosome-to-Golgi retrieval pathway. Much of this retrieval does take place in the cell body, as many previous studies have shown, and a significant fraction of cell surface APP is internalized, and Aβ is generated in endosomes in the neuronal soma (see, e.g., our studies [8,9]). However, Bhalla et al. (2) now show that the retromer may primarily function in axons and dendrites rather than in the soma, an interesting finding that needs to be confirmed in future studies. Since Aβ is also generated at the synapse (12), would abnormal retromer function facilitate generation and accumulation of Aβ at synapses?
Fjorback et al. (3) clarify the mechanism by which the retromer regulates the processing of APP, and show a direct interaction of the retromer with SorLA, a sorting receptor for APP, previously shown to be linked to AD. According to the proposed mechanism, the SorLA-retromer complex normally functions to retrieve APP via the endosome-to-Golgi pathway. This model nicely explains the increased generation of Aβ in an endosomal compartment when the SorLA-retromer complex does not properly function. Still, the precise site of action of SorLA, as well as the site of intracellular generation of Aβ, remain issues not fully understood (13). Certainly, there is still much to be learned from future studies about the relationship between trafficking and processing of APP, as well as about the relevance of abnormal intracellular transport of APP for AD (14).

The more spectacular Nonito Donaire looks every time he fights, the better. That makes future potential fights against the likes of fellow super bantamweight champions Abner Mares or Guillermo Rigondeaux even more attractive than they already are.
Donaire is aware of that, which is why perhaps more than ever he wants a knockout tonight when he defends his two belts against former champion Toshiaki Nishioka at Home Depot Center in Carson (on HBO). Nishioka, a longtime champion, lost his belt via governing body politics, not in the ring.
Donaire won his first world title in the 112-pound division. His two most recent fights have been at the 122-pound super bantamweight class. Those, and his last bout at bantamweight, make three consecutive fights in which he has failed to stop his opponent inside the distance.
Prior to that, Donaire had knocked out four opponents in succession and nine of his past 10. This sudden lack of knockouts happens to fighters who climb the weight-class ladder.
Donaire (29-1, 18 KOs) claims he isn't worried, but he acknowledged he wants to do something about it.
"We have been fighting the fights and getting the victories and I think that's what counts most," Donaire said. "These guys I have been fighting are world champions and they are at the top of their game. Sometimes you don't get the results that people look for.
"People expect a lot from me. We have been trying to change things up to get different results. Against Nishioka we can't let our guard down and (we're) going back to the old Nonito Donaire style of fighting smart."
Donaire suggested he has been trying too hard to get knockouts. That's another thing that happens to fighters who move up in weight; they want to silence those who wonder if they will be able to carry their power up another class.
When a fighter goes overboard in looking for a knockout, the result often is the same as when a baseball player tries to hit a home run. It doesn't work.
"We all know when the guys move up in weight, the punches get stronger and the opponents have all been world-class fighters, so it is more difficult to get the KO," said Robert Garcia, who trains Donaire. "It won't be easy against Nishioka, but at the beginning of training camp Nonito told me he wanted to come in and do it the way he used to do it - picking them apart little by little, then knocking them out."
That was the focus in camp.
"He's been doing it in training against lightweights, super lightweights. He's been landing beautiful punches and combinations and I have no doubt he will do it against Nishioka," Garcia said. "I am not pushing or asking for the knockout, but in training he has been doing the right thing and if he performs like he did in training, I will be happy with him."
Knocking out Nishioka won't be easy. In 46 bouts - he's 39-4-3 with 24 knockouts - Nishioka has been stopped only once inside the distance and that was in his second pro fight in 1995. The key will be not really trying to become the second fighter to knock out the talented fighter from Japan.
"When it comes, it comes," the 29-year-old Donaire said. "But the proper game plan will show my power, which is what I was known for - lightning-fast counters that were knocking people out because they never saw it coming.
"No matter how tough you are, if you don't see where it's coming from you don't expect it and it will knock you down."
By all accounts, Nishioka is going to be tough for Donaire. Garcia refers to Nishioka as "a great fighter." Donaire acknowledged Nishioka is a talented southpaw with a solid left cross he has to be on the lookout for.
Bob Arum, Donaire's promoter, is wary.
"Nishioka's a hell of a fighter," Arum said. "He's been looking for this fight for over a year. He's going to give Donaire all he can handle."
The problem for the 36-year-old Nishioka is he has not fought in a year. He said he's been training since January with most of his focus on Donaire.
"I wasn't sure if that's the fight I was going to get, but he's the only fighter I wanted to face," said Nishioka, who made six title defenses before being stripped of his belt. "So that was my main motivation for training that long."
As much as a knockout for Donaire tonight would be terrific for the fighter nicknamed "The Filipino Flash," a win for Nishioka would be his best.
"It will give me the greatest feeling of personal achievement," Nishioka said. "It would be the greatest victory."
Rios could have fight at higher weight
Brandon Rios, the former lightweight champion from Oxnard, has not made weight his past two fights and even lost his belt on the scales this past December. But he is moving up to super lightweight tonight to take on Mike Alvarado at Home Depot Center (on HBO).
He is more than a little happy about not having to make 135 any longer and is jazzed about the prospects of this fight that will serve as the semi-main event to the super bantamweight title fight between Nonito Donaire and Toshiaki Nishioka.
Rios this week spoke about now fighting at 140.
"This time, I'm actually training for the fight, not training to make the weight," he said. "I feel great, my weight's perfect right now. I'm like a pound, two pounds off and - oh, man - I can't complain anymore because before at this time I was not eating.
"I'm still eating, still drinking water."
Rios claims to be in great shape, and that's good because he is going to be tested by Alvarado. Like Rios, Alvarado is a heavy hitter and that's why so many experts are predicting this fight could steal the show from Donaire and Nishioka.
It doesn't even matter they are friends outside the ring.
"It's always exciting to get in the ring with any opponent," Rios said. "It's just the fact that the friendship, we've gotta put that aside and in the ring, when the bell rings, we're enemies. He wants to kill me, I want to kill him."
Rios (30-0-1, 22 KOs) said he heard Alvarado (33-0, 23 KOs) might be considering a variety of game plans. But the general consensus is this is going to be a knockdown, drag-out fight.
Maybe, maybe not, Alvarado said.
"My boxing skills are underrated," said Alvarado, of Denver. "I am going to keep him at bay. He is going to be right there in front of me so I can do anything I want with him. I can fight his fight. I can bang with him. I can do whatever I want with him.
"It will be my fight. I will control the pace."
Trainer Robert Garcia on Wednesday was asked what he thought about former super lightweight champion Amir Khan firing Freddie Roach and practically blaming Roach for his most recent loss by saying Roach doesn't stress defense enough. "After a fighter starts losing and after fighters are not looking the way they normally do, the first person they go after is the trainer," Garcia said. "Nobody was saying that before. Freddie Roach has done a great job with Manny Pacquiao and just that itself tells you that he's a great trainer." Khan, who replaced Roach with Virgil Hunter, will take on Carlos Molina on Dec. 15 at the Sports Arena (on Showtime). Khan on July 14 lost via fourth-round TKO to Danny Garcia in a super lightweight title unification bout. ... Timothy Bradley may not fight Dec. 15 in Miami after all. His promoter (Bob Arum) and manager (Cameron Dunkin) suggested this week it was because Bradley's left foot that was injured during his controversial win over Pacquiao in June has not healed. But Bradley responded by telling the Desert Sun that wasn't the case. He wasn't happy with being offered a rematch with Lamont Peterson, whom Bradley already beat three years ago. ... Garcia (24-0, 15 KOs), of Philadelphia, defends his two super lightweight belts against Erik Morales (52-8, 36 KOs) of Tijuana next Saturday in the main event at Barclays Center in Brooklyn (on Showtime).

As highlighted by the Surgeon General's 2001 report, there is a need to eliminate mental health disparities among ethnic minorities that are underserved (1). Healthcare disparities have resulted in decreased access to bilingual services for underrepresented and underserved minorities, increased risk for misdiagnosis, more inpatient hospitalizations, and less follow-up after hospitalizations (2, 3). The current mental-health workforce is also deficient with respect to diversity. In 2007, 16% of psychiatry trainees were from underrepresented groups such as African American, Hispanic American, Native American, or of Pacific Islander descent. Also, 24% were of Asian descent. Even smaller proportions of the membership of the American Psychiatric Association (APA) (4) or of psychiatric faculty (5) belong to the underrepresented ethnic groups. Although the need for mentoring has been described as an important part of academic medicine, fewer than 50% of medical students and, in some fields, less than 20% of faculty are reported to have a mentor (6). Members of underrepresented groups and women have been shown to have more difficulty in establishing a mentoring relationship (7). Many models have been implemented to improve the recruitment, retention, and promotion of minorities in medical school and academic departments across the country (8–12), although there is only generally limited evidence to support the efficacy of mentorship (13). In this article, we describe the development and implementation of a program of mentorship and cultural-competence education that targets the elimination of mental-health disparities. This program, the Texas Regional Psychiatry Minority Mentor Network (TRPMMN), has three goals: 1) to interest minority medical students in psychiatry as a profession; 2) to increase the cultural competence of mental-health providers; and 3) to increase retention through mentorship and support of the minority faculty. We also report data on some academic accomplishments of the medical students, residents, and junior-faculty program participants from the first 18 months of the program's implementation.
The TRPMMN was begun as a regional extension of APA's National Minority Mentor Fellowship Program in collaboration with both Houston-area medical schools, Baylor College of Medicine (BCM) and the University of Texas Health Science Center–Houston (UTHSC–H). In May of 2007, TRPMMN leaders developed subcommittees of local, regional, and national participants that targeted mentoring and cultural competence. These subcommittees met to review existing structures within the academic institutions and community entities. To assist with mentor-matching, we gathered information from participating institutions and community professional psychiatry organizations. One key feature of the TRPMMN program was to involve all levels of training and faculty; a total of 83 individuals expressed an interest in participating in this mentor program, including 13 medical students (6 African American, 5 Asian American, 1 Latino American, and 1 Egyptian American), 28 residents (17 African American, 6 Asian American, 4 Latino American, and 1 Native American, along with two Asian American international medical graduates who were pending residency acceptance), and 12 junior faculty members (6 Asian American, 4 African American, and 1 Latino American). The mentors included 16 local senior faculty members (11 Caucasian, 3 Asian American, 1 African American, and 1 Latino American), 6 community mentors (5 African American and 1 Latino American), and 6 national mentors (3 African American, 2 Asian American, and 1 Latino American). "Mentor families" were constructed, based on mutual and academic career interests as identified by written information that was collected before joining the program. Each of the five mentor families consisted of individuals involved in academic psychiatry, community psychiatry, medical education, public psychiatry, and independent practice, and included senior mentors, junior psychiatry faculty members, psychiatry residents, and medical students. Senior mentors included faculty members with advanced academic standing, and community and national psychiatrists who expressed interest in participating in the program. The national psychiatry mentors, who currently work as mentors within APA and the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, provided an additional layer of expertise and leadership for TRPMMN participants. Entire mentor families met once quarterly, and individuals were encouraged to have monthly contacts with their senior mentors.
TRPMMN developed the model to include quarterly skills-building workshops that were designed to improve the abilities of participants to become successful in research and in career pursuits. During these quarterly meetings, areas covered included publication strategies and techniques, information about promotion within the departments of psychiatry at BCM and UTHSC–H, selection of research versus clinician-educator tracks for career progression, the identification of career paths and leadership opportunities in psychiatry, and the negotiation of employment positions and benefits. These educational opportunities continued at least quarterly in a variety of settings that included scheduled didactics in the psychiatry training programs. TRPMMN leaders assisted with the enhancement of existing cultural-competence educational activities (i.e., grand rounds, scheduled didactics) within the departments of psychiatry at the two medical schools and assisted with initiating the development and implementation of cultural-competence education for medical students, faculty, and community practitioners. Also, TRPMMN disseminated information regarding national, regional, and community events that promoted cultural competence and the elimination of mental-health disparities. In all of these ways, the program sought to modify any attitudinal barriers that might impede the advancement of minority students, residents, and junior faculty. One result was the appointment of a diversity director at one of the medical schools.
In order to document intermediate outcomes of the TRPMMN, we administered a short questionnaire to all participants. The questionnaire included both closed-ended and open-ended items, adapted from the questionnaire by Berk et al. (13). The mentee was asked to indicate the outcomes of his or her mentoring experience in the program (products or experiences that would not have otherwise occurred without the program), including publications, presentations, political activity, service on a professional organization, grant writing/submissions, development of educational program, etc. Mentees were also asked to provide information regarding the various products or activities that were associated with the program.
Of the 35 students who entered psychiatry residency from both schools in 2005 and 2006, 14 were ethnic minorities; whereas, after implementation of the program (2008, 2009) 13 of the 26 students were ethnic minorities. Nearing the end of the second year of this program, seven medical students who participated in the program from either underserved or underrepresented ethnic groups have chosen psychiatry as a profession.
In conjunction with mentorship from residents and faculty, medical students in this network have been awarded eight national awards, two institutional awards, and one grant. They have also received invitations to submit two manuscripts to Academic Psychiatry and have presented four scientific posters in national and regional venues. In almost all cases, the mentees were informed about available awards for which to apply and were supported by faculty during the application process. TRPMMN faculty directly contributed to all four of the medical student national presentations and the one publication. Similarly, the psychiatry residents have received seven national awards, one institutional award, one grant, and opportunities for academic leadership with five appointments to chief residencies. TRPMMN faculty contributed directly to the two international and 8 of the 11 national presentations by residents. From a career standpoint, the junior faculty members of TRPMMN have progressed with international, national, and local recognition, which includes one international award, two national awards, six institutional awards, and one grant. Invited presentations have included 8 international, 37 national, and 4 grand rounds. Similarly, TRPMMN faculty contributed to 8 of the 8 international and 36 of the 37 national presentations and to all 3 publications by junior faculty. Also, two junior faculty members were promoted to the rank of associate professor. Moreover, three faculty members were appointed to leadership positions within academic centers, spanning from residency training director, director of diversity and cultural-competence education, and department chair.
One important limitation of our data, however, is that we cannot be sure how many of these achievements, including academic promotions and leadership appointments would have been obtained in the absence of the TRPMMN program. In particular, there was no comparison or control group for the TRPMMN model. Although the questionnaire focused on the outcomes of the program, it also asked mentees to write about barriers to the program. Barriers identified by mentees and mentors included 1) failed communication attempts via electronic mail for data collection and notification of events; 2) sparse funding for educational and social activities, and no funding for salary support; 3) decreased proximity of the institutions inside and outside the Houston area and community partners; 4) limited time availability for participation; and 5) difficulties with the coordination of events.
TRPMMN has made a promising start in addressing the lack of diversity in the psychiatric workforce and mental-health disparities. Our initial results suggest that the program has promoted scholarly activities, leadership opportunities, presentation opportunities, and awards that participants indicated would not have otherwise occurred. Although our outcomes seem promising, the data are based on self-report.
Additional evaluation will occur throughout the program in relation to ongoing evaluation and assessment of the efficacy of the program in achieving its goals. Along with addressing the barriers identified above, TRPMMN intends to evaluate cultural competence of participants within clinical contexts. The participating academic institutions will also be challenged to develop a program to improve the provision of mental-health services to underserved and underrepresented groups. These institutions have pledged to support "community-engaged scholarship," which will allow for an increased collaboration and integration of the model between institutions. We hope that the TRPMMN model will serve to stimulate implementation and model development and evaluation in other settings in order to seek to eliminate mental-health disparities and foster diversity among the psychiatry workforce.

Oh I was there. <!—s;D—><!—s;D—>
Can't wait for it to come back.
Re: Official "Asthma is Sexy" Thread
I was there, I was in con hq more than anything, and I did get out from time to time and saw the signs. I'll be there again this year, barring the unexpected.
Re: Official "Asthma is Sexy" Thread
From the IMDB listing..
With Asthma is Sexy's relaunch there is now a variety of differences between the original and the new version.
In the original Asthma is Sexy pilot, the character of Admiral Greenfire did not appear as he had not been cast yet, however, the actor playing him was actually Pizza Delivery Man #2.

The scar over his eye twitched at the word as he rose from the chair, directing his attention to some menial worker in the facility. He looked tired; more than anything else, but he kept awake, despite no longer knowing what time it was. The worker across the room paused in the doorway, taking note of the officer's beard and how scraggly it had become since the first clashes with the Chaos Insurgency.
"They're here."
His voice was deep and gravelly, and seemed weary of the world as he heaved a sigh of contention and false hope. Bravado soon overtook him, and he, once again adopted his signature steeled resolve. Stoic expression fixed to his face, he turned toward the door and followed the worker out of the room, down a long and brightly lit hallway that measured at least fourteen feet in width. Various passersby and workers of the facility greeted him with a wave and hello, to which he replied with a simple nod.
The hallway seemed to stretch on forever, and it gave him time to reflect upon his service to the Foundation, and his many encounters with the paranormal entities that gave the Foundation its name. The moment he came across the existence of the one they called "682", he knew there was no greater hell than the things that could be found in the darkest corners of the world. It took time and many efforts to bring the monstrosity under control, but it was not without casualties in the slightest, one such being the person who initially recommended him for this line of work. Before he became the leader of Mobile Task Force O-23, he was but a simple peon that took orders, followed through, and simply tried his hardest. Then, "682" came around, and he was here, without his men, alone.
That sole thought was enough to bring him back to reality, focusing on the task at hand. The person who led him down the hallway handed over the clipboard and diverted her path down a hallway to the left, pointing down the hallway the officer was already walking through. He continued down until he came to an intersection that led off into three different paths.
In the intersection stood a line of six people, all facing the officer. They were uniformally dressed in the same gear which, at the present time, was nothing but the standard navy blue jumpsuit, adorned with an embroidered logo denoting the Foundation. The grizzled veteran flipped through the pages, calmly and briskly skimming through various notes and pieces of knowledge he felt necessary to remember. After doing so, he let the pages fall back into place, his eyes looking up to what looked to be his new recruits.
"Welcome to Mobile Task Force O-23, people," he started to address, walking back and forth in front of the recruits. "My name is Commander Michael Cross, but, for the duration of your enrollment into this unit, you will address me as 'Commander' or 'Sir'; if we happen to become good friends, 'Cross'. You are here because you've been recommended by some of the most capable minds in the Foundation, and I can sincerely hope to trust their word.
"As long as you remain in this unit, you will speak when spoken to, unless I give you permission to speak. You will do what I say, when I say it, however I wish for you to do it. I do not tell you this to reinforce my reputation as a hard-ass. This, quite to the contrary, is as much to ensure your survival as it is to make sure that we all function and coordinate perfectly not only as a team, but as a well-oiled machine. Over the course of your stay, you will learn about each other, inside and out. You will know how your teammates tick and how to exploit their strengths to benefit the team. I do not tolerate insubordination, and that is because we do not have the capacity to let insubordination infect our ranks. The last time someone was careless, they brought in the six of you to take their places. I suggest you don't become another casualty."
Cross' eyes moved back down to the paper, reading over the various pieces of information from the first page, taking a deep breath before reading aloud.
"Christopher... Graves. Thirty-two years old from New York, New York."
The 44-year-old shook his head before muttering something about Frank Sinatra, after which was followed by more reading aloud.
"Graves... says here that you were in the army. Rank of... Captain in 12 years' time. Impressive. Why don't you sound off and tell us a little about yourself, but keep it short and sweet. You've got plenty of time to tell your life story to your new friends here in the future."

In today's guest post Sean Conrad shares resources that coaches may want to use for career and employment coaching.
Resources That Can Help with Career Progression
by Sean Conrad
When you're coaching someone who wants to advance their career, there are numerous tools you can use to help them. But people often overlook some resources or programs their current employer may have in place that can be immensely helpful.
Here are 7 common talent management resources that anyone can use to help advance their career.
Why not ask you client to explore using these basic talent management resources as tools for better self-knowledge and career advancement? You can even discuss the results together in your coaching sessions, and help them put action plans in place.
1. Employee Performance Appraisals
Employee performance appraisals can be a great source of information about personal strengths and areas that need development. During their appraisal meetings with their managers, people are often more focused on showcasing their accomplishments so as to influence their pay rise. They forget to pay attention to the details of what their manager has to say about their performance.
Their performance appraisals often contain really valuable feedback about areas of weakness that they need focus on developing in order to progress in their careers. It can be very helpful to take some time to reread past performance appraisals, looking for trends, and looking honestly at some of the "negative" feedback. They can then work to address any identified skill gaps that may be standing in the way of their advancement.
2. 360 Degree Feedback
Many organisations allow employees to solicit 360 degree feedback from others, as part of their performance appraisal process. 360 degree feedback can help them get a broader picture of their strengths and weaknesses, which they can again use to focus development activities and prepare for that desired career move.
3. Job Postings
Reading their organisation's job postings is a great way to become familiar with the education, skill and experience requirements for a new job. Your client can use job postings to find out what they need to do/learn in order to qualify for a promotion or to take their career in a new direction. And reading job postings regularly is a great way to uncover any new openings they might be qualified for and interested in.
4. Job Descriptions
If their company makes them available, reading job descriptions is another great way to learn about the requirements for that next job. Your client may find jobs they didn't know about that use their core skills in a different way, or an entirely new position that really interests them. Just like job postings, job descriptions will give them a great summary of the requirements for the position so they know what they need to do to prepare for a move. Job descriptions are a great way to figure out if they'd even like the job they think they want.
5. Employee Profiles
If their organisation has online employee profiles your client can browse the profiles of those already in a job they'd like to move into and see what that person's background, education, skills and experience are. It's another great way to learn more about job requirements and focus their development activities. They can also use them to build their network or identify potential mentors.
6. Training and Development
Most organisations allot a specific training budget for every employee. Yet it's amazing how many employees fail to take advantage of this. Encourage your client to find out what their training allotment or entitlement is, then make use of it. They can sign up for learning activities that will help them prepare for their next career move and help make them more valuable in their job today.
7. Team Work Assignments
Almost every organisation has teams or committees in place that bring together people from various parts of the organisation – these are often called cross-functional teams. Sometimes they're focused on special work projects, but often they deal with business processes, employee engagement issues, customer satisfaction challenges, corporate social responsibility initiatives, etc.
Working on a cross-functional team is a great way to broaden ones knowledge and skills and meet people from across the organisation. It can expose the person to different parts of the business, broaden their understanding of their industry and build their network. All these are great career advancement tools they should seek out. Encourage your client to seek out cross-functional team assignments, or even volunteer for one.
These common talent management resources are available to employees in most organisations. You can easily encourage your client to seek them out and take advantage of them as part of your career coaching work together. With your help, they can become valuable tools for better self-knowledge and career advancement.

I'll add drawings here anyone is welcome to include their drawings ideas as well!
I updated the album with my current progress.
Sorry for the delay, I hope you like it.
I'll have to make the whole frame larger to compensate for the size of the cross slide if we want to stick to our 18''x24'' build envelope. I'm still figuring out how to assemble the cross slide, but I think I'm on the right path.
EDIT: I think I can modify the cross slide to make the tool ride closer to the way... That would imply adding another 3/8 plate though...
If you don't have anything to add, I guess I'll work on the z-axis way next? Meanwhile, maybe you could sketch what you think the tool mount should look like?
Bleh, work and school are taking over, I might not have time to work on this before sunday.
Monroe,what angle should the Dovetail have ?I was trying 45°,but that looks too much for me.
Any suggestions ?
I'm posting the SolidWorks (2010) files to this thread for anyone to check out, measure or add to them. I need some time to prepare for my exams so I won't be drawing as much for about 2 weeks, but I'll still try to contribute. I have to finish these drawings if I before I start thinking about the servo system... I'm having a few ideas :p
I'm still figuring out how to lay out some fasteners, so some holes are omitted for now. I believe 5 bolts on each dovetail block will be enough to sustain the shear stress on the cross slide, but I haven't done the math yet :(
For those who don't have SolidWorks, you can browse the files with eDrawings.
Let's get this prototype going :)
How much more work is required on the drawing?
Monroe, can you have a list of more things to add? or some sketch of what is missing?
I have a friend who works with Solidworks all day but not sure he can help. He will not have much interest in a CNC Machine but if the changes/work left if not too bad I could ask him.
Also some details like motor and leadscrew mounts and a few brackets. But that depends on how much you're willing to improvise on the prototype :p
The website destroyed my post again! :(
I was saying that I would not like to overload my friend if I ask him, what kind of work (time) is needed? Do we have all the specs for him to work on it? just asking for a few mounts and brackets would he understand what we need? For sure he works for a living doing this for car manufacturer robots and things like that... but a nice list of exact requirements would be great to see if I could interest him into doing it for us...
Hey guys found this set of plans in solid works already.. maybe there is parts we can reuse? Full credit to the author, jgro and link to his post here: (download link included there as well)
Attached is a rendering of his work.
So this may speed up our design process if the parts are somewhat standard and fit... no?
Oh and I like this!
yeah! :)
My friend asked me is we were going for servo with "ball screw"... he seems to think it's the best... what's the answer? hehe
Okay! So I'm back on the proverbial horse again. Tonight I made the Z-way dovetail:
Monroe, as I understand it, the standoff plate we talked about 2 weeks back should be mounted where I drew the red rectangle? So I should put recessed holes so the bolts don't interfere with the crosslide during movement?
I can make some more progress with the drawings during the week. Is there any other obvious "big" parts lacking? If not I'm just going to refine the bolt placements and add fasteners where there are none (for instance, how should we assemble the frame?). Also, if you have suggestions on how to mount the X-axis (gantry) leadscrew, go right ahead and tell me, because right now it could be problematic because of how we mount the gantry way itself. I think a proper idea would be to redesign the gantry mounting blocks so they can accommodate the screw ends too as well as being the motor mount at the same time.
I hope some of you are still on board for this. We have our work cut out for us. There are tons of refinements to be done on those drawing, so if someone wants to help, don't hesitate!

Your New Hampshire Business Can Expand Through Effective Internet Marketing
Massachusetts Businesses Look to Mobile as the Future of Internet Marketing
Google Makes SEO More Challenging, Raising the Bar for Marketing Professionals
Google has been promising an algorithm update that would adversely affect overly optimized sites. And now they have announced the update has gone live and some websites will see their rankings drop if they use unsavory SEO techniques.
Google wants legal internet marketing experts to focus on building high-quality websites with superior content in an effort to enhance the user's experience. The search updates target webspam, and sites that stuff too many keywords in content or use link schemes.
Google's Matt Cutts earlier his month emphasized how important it is for a business or a legal internet marketing firm to build a visually appealing and easily navigated website instead of focusing on too much search engine optimization. He also stated that websites that are overly optimized could see their page's rankings drop.
Keywords have always been an important component of online marketing, so businesses will have to be more conscientious of how they use keywords in their content. Stuffing too many keywords in an article or blog will affect the overall ranking of a website.
For companies who have been providing quality content all along they may see their rankings rise.
For many companies, understanding and navigating the way in which Google ranks a page can be more complicated than they anticipated. These businesses may find that it is in their best interest to hire a legal internet marketing firm to develop and enact their online marketing campaigns.

Essex Edibles
Side Dishes: Local foods chug ahead
The planned Essex farmers market is on track — not quite literally. It'll be by the tracks, though.
When the Essex Junction Railroad Avenue Revitalization Project steering committee began meeting last fall, its goal was to make the downtown street a greener, friendlier space for local families. Per committee member Susan McCormack, the effort includes renovating the Junction's namesake Amtrak station, beautifying the street with lots of new greenery — and starting a weekly farmers market.
Lori Houghton, another member of the steering committee, says the group recently sent an email survey to village residents, who voted overwhelmingly to hold the market on Saturdays.
Houghton says several food purveyors have already expressed interest in selling their wares. "Our goal is to have 10 to 15 vendors this year," she adds.
To help encourage attendance at the market, slated to begin in June, the committee is planning more activities on the avenue. Look for local bands adding ambience to the shopping, a nonprofit presence and kids' entertainment.

Work on St. Patrick's Day? Nunsense!
The creaky voice over the intercom made me freeze in terror. "Would Michael Farragher please come to the principal's office?"
It was the morning of March 17, 1972, and I was head down and minding my own business in kindergarten, probably hacking my way through construction paper with plastic scissors at the time the call came.
Small knees knocked and the little bladder worked overtime as I took the long walk and stood in front of the smoked glass door of Sister Mary Regina's office.
Were those the anguished squeals of children being tortured in the next room, or was it just her sensible shoes squeaking on the other side of the glass?
She opened the door and I came face to face with the star of many a nightmare. Dyed red hair was sculpted under a blue veil, and in the middle of her thin, parched face were piercing blue eyes magnified by thick glasses.
Upperclassmen warned me that the goggles actually amplified her laser vision, which came in handy as she burned your soul on the way to hell.
Did I mention that the li'l bladder was working overtime at this point?
"Your name Farragher?" she snorted.
"Yes, Sister," I stammered.
"You don't ever go to school or work on St. Patrick's Day ever again. Do I make myself perfectly clear?"
"Yes, Sister," came the reply.
"Good. I'm sending you home."
This has set off a chain reaction of celebrations ever since, as you can imagine. While I can't vouch for my school attendance after I transferred out of St. Anne's in Jersey City, I know that everything came to a stop during my college and work years each March 17.
When you have 24 hours to get into trouble, trouble will find you to be sure. Like many Irish folks, I have my share of drinking stories that have become stuff of legend among friends and coworkers.
There was the time 15 years ago when the technical director of my firm flew into LaGuardia on that day to see a big client in the morning, and he was eager to see the famed New York parade. He was British and complained loudly about how the Irish got all the credit for being Europe's biggest drinkers when it was really the Queen's subjects who were superior.
Of course, he said it loudly enough that myself and a number of others along the parade route took the bait.
When I finally came to, at the not-so gentle prodding of the train conductor, I had slept through my stop and three others, with no sign of my colleague. We barely made it to the presentation on the following morning, each one of us repeatedly excusing ourselves to dry heave into the well manicured john just outside the conference room.
The story of how a good friend extricated me from the prying paws of an Irish drag queen who called herself Lady "Gay-lick" outside Pat O'Brien's in the French Quarter in New Orleans is something I'll leave to your able imaginations.

South Davis Community Hospital in Bountiful and Futura Industries in Clearfield received the statewide honor.
As noted in an accompanying story, the Utah Work Life 2012 Award program seeks to recognize and promote examples of such businesses.
Intended as more than an award, Work/Life program director Lynette Rasmussen said it's also a way to alert job seekers to such firms and to the fact they provide "life sustaining" positions and employee/family friendly benefits.
Both Davis County 2011 honorees have received many awards in the past, including for community service and involvement.
Some of the aspects employees liked about SDJH are:
• The hospital operates 24/7 so employees have a holiday rotation that changes from year to year to ensure flexibility in time off.
• The company offers personal loans for employees.
• The hospital matches 50 percent on employees' 401(K) contributions and pays for life insurance and offers supplemental life, short and long-term disability insurance.
For more information check out the July 26 edition of Davis Clipper.

Project Leader: Marco De Vivo, PhD
The expression of acid ceramidase (AC) – a intracellular enzyme that hydrolyses the lipid messenger ceramide – is abnormally high in several human tumors, which is suggestive of a role in the resistance of cancer cells to chemotherapeutic agents. Available acid ceramidase inhibitors lack, however, the potency and drug-likeness necessary to test this idea. We discovered new chemical entities that are potent at inhibiting intracellular AC activity. These compounds, which act synergistically with standard antitumoral drugs to block cancer cell proliferation, may be used as starting points for novel chemosensitizing agents.

Dedicated by the Jacobs and Chill Families in Memory of Harold and Pearl JacobsDora Bas Rivka Silver O'H
Tzitzit of Tekhelet
Rabbi Dr. Asher Meir
In Scripture, tekhelet in garments is often identified with wealth and royalty. Yirmiyahu counts it along with silver and gold among the treasures of the world (Yirmiyahu 10:9), while Mordekhai's ascent to power is marked by his wearing tekhelet garments (Esther 8:15).
The Talmud also emphasizes its expense. One Midrash compares the white threads to a clay vessel and the tekhelet ones to gold (Yalkut Shimoni Shelakh).
Yet regarding the mitzva of tekhelet, we find the exact opposite theme: in several places we find it connected to modesty and simplicity. For example, the Talmud tells us that the Jewish people merited the thread of tekhelet because of Avram's refusal (Bereshit 14:23) to accept even a shoelace from the King of Sodom (Sota 17a).
And our Sages tell us that the story of Korach immediately follows the mitzva of tekhelet to hint to us that the wealthy Korach rejected this commandment. "Rav said, Korach was immensely wealthy; Pharaoh's treasure was exposed to him between Migdol and the sea. Rav said, Korach was a denier; he made a talit which was entirely tekhelet, and came to Moshe. He asked, is a talit which is entirely tekhelet obligated in tzitzit? He said, it is obligated" (Yerushalmi Sanhedrin 10:1).
Korach claimed to be a democrat, complaining that Moshe and Aharon raised themselves up above the common people. But in reality he was a plutocrat; we see in his claims that money should be able to substitute for mitzvot.
The average person could never afford a talit dyed throughout with tekhelet, but Korach could and his claim was that this should exempt him from the mitzva of tekhelet.
We can discern a similar paradox in the gemara in Sota. The passage continues by asking, what is so special about the mitzva of tekhelet ? The answer is that the tekhelet resembles the sea, which resembles the firmament, which resembles G-d's Seat of Glory. "And they saw the G-d of Israel, and under His feet was the likeness of bricks of saphire, pure like the essence of the sky." (Shemot 24:10) This was the vision of the leaders of Israel who approached Har Sinai together with Moshe and Aharon. The Torah then tells us that they were worthy of punishment for their behavior when seeing this vision; Rashi explains that they related to this vision as something familiar, without the appropriate awe.
We can understand this in a similar fashion. The bricks of sapphire seem to represent wealth, something which would have been familiar to the princes of Israel. But Rashi explains that they actually represent the crushing labor of Jewish slaves in Egypt who struggled to make their daily toll of bricks.
To Korach, tekhelet symbolized wealth; it also reminds us of the heavenly firmament, which may also seem to represent wealth. But Chazal show that there is an exact opposite symbolism of simplicity and equality. Even a tekhelet which is all tekhelet is forbidden if it doesn't have the same single strand of tekhelet which exempts a simple person's garment. And it was Avram's lack of greed which brought us this mitzva, which reminds us of the Throne of Glory which surveys not only the "purity of the sky" but also the crushing labor of simple people.
It is precisely the single thread of priceless tekhelet which reminds us that each Jew has before G-d a status like kings and princes, which money can never buy. The Torah explicitly tells us that the tzitzit reminds us of all the commandments; and indeed, it is the sanctity of the commandments which gives us our unique status.
May it be His will to reveal to us soon, by natural or miraculous means, the certain way to perform this important mitzva so that we may all bear this important reminder of the entire Torah.

There Will Be a Clocktower Hotel After All, With Ian Schrager Ringing the Bell
The Observer is not sure which is worse: a Tommy Hilfiger-themed hotel or just another blasé Marriott. The fashion designer had planned to tranform the Madison Square icon into a red-white-and-blue boutique hotel before he backed out. A plan to turn the landmark into condos already failed, but the owners have found a new buyer who still wants a hotel overlooking Shake Shack. Read More

With all-day kindergarten, West Chicago students better prepared to meet Common Core
WEST CHICAGO – In an effort to keep up with rising expectations for kindergartners, West Chicago Elementary School District 33 is piloting an all-day kindergarten program at Gary Elementary School this year, with hopes of extending it to other schools in the future.
Full-day kindergarten had been a dream in the district for several years and became part of the district's Strategic Plan in 2011, said Gina Steinbrecher, District 33 community relations specialist. With the expansion of Leman Middle School of West Chicago complete, the space to match the need opened up.
Sixth-graders moved from District 33 elementary schools into the middle school this year, creating room at Gary School to house more kindergartners at the same time as part of a full-day program.

Welcome to Roosevelt High School!!! |
Student Drop Off on 12th There is an increase in traffic on 12th as a result of the Light Rail Construction. We are asking that parents dropping their students off on 12th do so NORTH of the school parking lot entrance. Stopping before the entrance backs up traffic unnecessarily. Traffic Pattern Changes The Sound Transit Light Rail construction project is moving into a new phase starting on December 3. As a result, there is a traffic pattern change happening at the intersection of 65th and 12th. See the information at the following link for details. This will impact anyone who goes through that intersection and/or rides on a bus on that route. www.soundtransit.org/Projects-and-Plans/Northgate-Link-Extension/Construction-Update---Northgate-Link-Extension-11-27-2013 Weather Delays In the unlikely event that schools are delayed due to weather, here is a link to the schedule we would use. Most delays are 2-hour delays. If there happens to be a 1-hour delay, we will post that schedule also. Stay warm this week. Looks like a cold one is on the way. January 30, 2014 Information Night 7:00 PM A welcome and introduction to the Roosevelt staff begins in the Main Gym. Afterwards parents and students may visit the open classrooms. This is an opportunity to ask questions regarding curriculum and courses taught at Roosevelt.

As the US eagerly awaits the latest series of the increasingly popular Downton Abbey to get underway, insights from VisitBritain reveal that visiting castles, stately homes and famous buildings in Britain is now a top priority for overseas visitors. Nearly 30% of all visits to Britain include a trip to built heritage sites, with the amount spent by those who do so amounting to £6.5 billion over the entirety of their trip.
The Denim Studio, which officially opened, Thursday June 6, in Selfridges on Oxford Street, is the first and the largest space of its kind in the world at over 26,000 sqft.
Opening Night Reception Hosted by Dan Stevens and Estelle Kicks Off Two-Day Interactive Pop-Up on Saturday, March 23 and Sunday, March 24 Showcasing What's Now and Next in England, Scotland and Wales
VisitBritain has once again joined forces with the European Tour Operators Association (ETOA) to deliver what is now the largest ever business-to-business tourism event promoting Britain internationally.
-Inbound tourism experiences best year for spend in Olympic and Diamond Jubilee year-The contribution of inbound tourism to the UK economy has continued to grow in 2012, with latest figures showing a record £19bn in spend, a four per cent rise on 2011.
VisitBritain Invites Travelers to Explore Locations Used in This Year's Oscar®-Nominated Films
NEW YORK, NY, DECEMBER 5, 2012 -- The third season of Golden Globe® and Emmy® award-winning, hit TV series Downton Abbey premieres on January 6, 2013. Finally, fans of the series will find out whether the will-they-won't-they relationship between Lady Mary and Matthew will end in happiness, not to mention the fate of Mr. Bates, as well as meet Lady Grantham's mother, played by legendary actress Shirley MacLaine. If watching the show makes you wish you were having afternoon tea in the beautiful garden of a magnificent stately home, then wish no more. VisitBritain invites travelers to turn that desire into a reality by visiting the real Downton Abbey, Highclere Castle, as well as the other stunning locations from the series. For more information on this, and Downton Abbey tour packages, travelers can go to www.visitbritain.com.
NEW YORK, DECEMBER 3, 2012 -- St James's Palace announced today that the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are expecting a baby. The newborn will be third in line and in direct succession to the throne. Kensington Palace will soon be stocked up with diapers and baby food when the little royal is welcomed into the world and the baby will no doubt be lavished with fabulous gifts fit for a king or queen. Gift-givers need not look far for present ideas – Britain is the place to find great gifts for babies, and you won't need a royal bank account to buy them.
New tourism figures issued this morning confirm that Britain is well placed to build on encouraging inbound Olympic numbers.
Say hello to the VisitBritain PR team! We look forward to hearing from you.

The specific regulation the OSM is proposing to overturn is the Stream Buffer Zone rule, a Reagan-era restriction on surface coal mining activities that protects a 100-foot corridor around flowing streams in order to preserve water quality. The new rule, which is expected to be finalized in 30 days, will allow coal companies to dump massive waste piles called "valley fills" directly into streams, permanently burying them. Already, more than 2000 miles of Appalachian streams have been buried or degraded by waste from mountaintop removal mining.
Mountaintop removal coal mining -- the most environmentally damaging form of coal strip mining -- has received increased national attention in recent weeks as both Presidential candidates have expressed opposition to the practice.
Statement by Joan Mulhern, Earthjustice senior legislative counsel:
"The final EIS is a sham. The agency did not even study, among available alternatives, the option of enforcing the stream buffer rule that has been on the books since 1983. Instead, they pretend that the existing stream buffer law does not apply to valley fills and sludge impoundments, so any minutely incremental effort to 'minimize' those waste dumps is, in their version of this, a net benefit to the environment. Of course this is completely backwards.
"They claim their rule is better for the environment when the exact opposite is true. What they are calling a treat is nothing other than a trick.
"This latest move is the capstone to the devastating legacy the Bush administration has left to the communities in Appalachia and to all Americans who care about our nation's mountains and streams. In just 8 years this administration has allowed coal companies to obliterate mountain ranges that have existed for millennia. Today they are announcing plans to accelerate that destruction into the future and spread it nationwide."
Joan Mulhern, Earthjustice, (202) 667-4500
