Louisiana Lottery Quality Assurance Processes Continue to Meet Industry Best Practices
Published on
Celebrating its twentieth year of operations, the Louisiana Lottery Corporation just completed its second successful two-year renewal of its quality assurance best practices verification by the North American Association of State & Provincial Lotteries (NASPL). In 2006, the Louisiana Lottery became the very first lottery in the country to receive this industry verification and has continued to meet the standards criteria for excellence as demonstrated by the recent renewal.This renewal is very significant since it affirms the soundness of our gaming system since our complete hardware and software conversion last year, said Lottery President Rose Hudson. Our retailers and players are assured that the processes that support the Lottery games they sell and love meet rigorous quality standards set by the industry. This accomplishment speaks to the heart of our mission to uphold the highest standards of integrity and public trust.In April 2004, NASPL issued a set of best practices, Quality Assurance of Product Development in the Lottery Industry, and outlined its verification process in January 2005. The Louisiana Lottery achieved verification in two areas of Quality Assurance Best Practices applicable to lotteries in November 2006.Since the Lottery has undergone a review of these best practices every two years to apply for a renewal of the verification and have been successful each time.The Quality Assurance best practices are intended to provide lotteries and vendors with simple, documented and approved methods for building quality into the product development and testing processes. The purpose of implementing the best practice is to increase the integrity of the Lottery business by producing high-quality systems that result in reduced risk, better performance, reduced costs and increased public confidence and player satisfaction.Verifications are conducted by The Open Group, a world leader in the implementation of certification programs, under NASPL's authority. More information about NASPL standards and best practices can be found on the organization's Web site, http://www.naspl.org/.

The developer's traffic expert, Gary Dean of the Oldwick section of Tewksbury Township, told the board he believed the proposed 39-home development, which would be located on Mount Lebanon Road, "does not require any of the roads to be upgraded."
Kevin Kelley, a Sussex County attorney who has been hired by a group calling its elf the Lebanon Township Land Coalition, cross-examined Dean for nearly half an hour, but Dean refused to relent on his opinion that the roads would not have to be upgraded because there would be no significant change in traffic patterns du e to the inclusion of these new homes.
James Knox, an attorney from the firm Gebhardt and Keifer in Clinton Township who is representing the developer, insinuated to board members that they were just trying to get as much improvement money out of the developer as they could.
Mayor and board member Eileen Swan was flabbergasted and commented that, "I am offended by the suggestion that this board would do any such thing."
The underlying issue in the application is the timeline. The Toll Brothers' application time runs out on Tuesday, Nov. 6, which happens to be the next time that the board will meet. If Toll Brothers application is not complete, the developers can ask for an extension or be forced to start the application process over a gain.
If the developer is forced to start the process over again, it will more than likely fall under a new proposed ordinance, which changes the area to 10-acre zoning. Ten-acre zoning was just recommended by the board to the township committee in its five-year review of the master plan.
Dean had told the committee that during peak hours, between 30 and 40 extra cars would be on the road and that would not affect the neighborhood.
Due to testify at the meeting was the township's traffic expert, Harvey Yesowitz, who is now scheduled to testidfy at the Nov. 6 meeting.

Louisiana-Lafayette men's basketball coach Bob Marlin knows his team won't match Saturday's offensive performance very often in Sun Belt Conference play this season.
The Ragin' Cajuns rolled past outmanned Troy 91-64 for their second league win in as many games, shooting 67.7 percent in a 52-point second half that gave the Cajuns (8-5, 2-0) their eighth straight 80-point outing. UL-Lafayette has averaged 95.3 points in that stretch and ranks 11th nationally with an 82.7 scoring average.
"That's going to be difficult to do every night," Marlin said. "There are a lot of teams that are going to play slow in the league, and App is one of them."
"App" is Appalachian State, which will host UL-Lafayette in its first Sun Belt home game at 6:30 p.m. Monday. The Mountaineers (4-6, 1-0), who joined the league this season, haven't faced the Cajuns since 1989-90, when UL-Lafayette won both ends of a home-and-home series.
ASU already has made its presence known in the Sun Belt, rallying from a 14-point deficit in the final 10 minutes to upset host Arkansas State 74-73 on Saturday. The Mountaineers hit 13 of their last 19 shots to complete their largest comeback in nearly eight seasons and snap Arkansas State's four-game winning streak.
The Cajuns had an even more impressive shooting run in Saturday's romp over the Trojans, hitting 13 of their first 15 shots to open the second half to pad a 39-31 halftime lead. Part of that streak came in a 25-6 run that spanned the halves and helped the hosts build a 30-point lead in the final six minutes.
"We hadn't been shooting the ball like we can," said senior forward Brian Williams, one of four Cajuns averaging in double figures (11.9 points). "We have a lot of guys that can score the ball."
That will be tougher to do Monday. For one, UL-Lafayette has won only once in five road outings this season, even though the last one was Tuesday's 83-79 overtime win at Arkansas-Little Rock in the Sun Belt opener.
More significantly, the Mountaineers likely will try to avoid the up-and-down tempo the Cajuns forced on the Trojans. Before Saturday's win, ASU had scored more than 67 points only once in nine games and had averaged only 58 points in the previous four games — all losses.
"They're a lot like Troy and UALR in that they'll use the clock to get a great shot every possession," Marlin said. "We'll need to get up a lot of shots."
Monday's game, coming less than 48 hours after Saturday's home win, is part of a frenetic early-conference schedule for the Cajuns. After Monday's game, UL-Lafayette returns home for a big Thursday meeting with defending regular-season Sun Belt champion Georgia State — the team the Cajuns beat in last year's tournament final to advance to the NCAA tournament — and then has a rare Saturday off.
"It's a long grind," Marlin said. "It's a tough time for us. ... We have 10 games in 23 days and don't even play next Saturday. It's like an NBA schedule."
Appalachian State can sympathize: The Mountaineers play their first home game in 29 days Monday. Junior guard Frank Eaves, who had 22 points in Saturday's win at Arkansas State, leads the Mountaineers with a 16.6-point scoring average, while senior forward Tommy Spagnolo is at 11.1 with 7.7 rebounds.
Junior forward Shawn Long had 18 points against Troy and leads UL-Lafayette at 15.8 points and 8.6 rebounds per game. The Morgan City product had 23 points and 12 boards at UALR, the 40th double-double of his career.
Point guard Jay Wright had a career-high 20 points against Troy, including three straight 3-pointers in a two-minute span early in the second half.
"We don't ask him to do that," Marlin said. "He's our best on-ball defender, and he runs the team; that was the first time in four or five games that he's had a turnover. But he got in there and hit some shots and got some confidence. His energy early in the second half was huge."
Women eye first Sun Belt win
The UL-Lafayette women will go after their first Sun Belt win when they face Appalachian State for the first time ever at 4 p.m. The game will air on KPEL-AM, 1420.
The Cajuns (8-3, 0-2) won eight of their first nine but have since lost both of their Sun Belt games, falling at UALR 67-41 on Tuesday and having a rally from a 19-point deficit come up short in a 60-55 home loss to Troy on Saturday. UL-Lafayette shot less than 30 percent in both losses.
Appalachian State (5-5, 0-1) lost at preseason league favorite Arkansas State 89-75 on Saturday. The Mountaineers are 4-1 at home this season.

On Friday, upon returning home from the Nike All-American Camp, Jackson picked up the phone and gave the Jayhawks the good word.
"This is like a fairly tale," Shawn Jackson, Darnell's mother said. "Darnell loved Kansas but I didn't think Roy Williams was going to offer him. We love Bill Self. When he went to Kansas, I told him to please leave his options open."
Jackson's options were plentiful. They included Oklahoma, Arizona, Purdue, Illinois and New Mexico.
"Kansas is the school that he truly, truly wanted."

Yeah I couldn't remember how it was done, but could remember seeing something under SunOS. So I was assuming it wasn't a portable thing since I couldn't find it under irix/linux/solaris (I just wasn't looking hard enough/in the right places). But after Marc pointed it out to me I did some digging, and found the http_ipc.c file from NCSA.

lowering the noscript fences and allowing cookies is helpingIt's an out of the box installation without restrictions on cookies or scripts. At least Opera and Firefox did not display the overlay after a restart. But here at work I have only IE 9 available and a restart will not allow me to access OTN.

I tried another computer at work -> IE8 ok, FF 4 does not work (hangs with 63% complete)
We are stuck to some very old versions, because some applications won't work or are not certified with newer versions.
The IE8/FF4 are installed on XP SP3
The IE9 from above is on WIN7.
Opera and FF 14 also on WIN/, but on private PC.

6. Re: Cannot access http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/index.htmlMarwim Dec 19, 2012 9:31 AM (in response to Brianw-Oracle)No plugins. The environment is very restricted, so my possibilities to analyze are minimal.
Since I only tried to download the early adopter version of Data Modeler, I will use another PC and transfer the file to my notebook. Most important is that I have access to the forum :-)
7. Re: Cannot access http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/index.htmlBrianw-Oracle Dec 20, 2012 6:55 PM (in response to Marwim)Is anything disabled on your browser since it is so restrictive? Reason being, the same thing will be rolled out to forums and other sites early next year, so you may again have this issue.1 person found this helpful
Sending a screenshot of what you see to firstname.lastname@example.com would be helpful as well
8. Re: Cannot access http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/index.htmlMarwim Dec 21, 2012 8:22 AM (in response to Brianw-Oracle)It's working in IE9 now after rebooting. I still have no idea where this comes from. The only addon nstalled that is suspicious is McAffee - scriptproxy. But I cannot disable it to test, more so because I cannot reproduce the problem any longer.
So after restarting the browser or rebooting there is only a (very old) version of FF left that does not work. I will not have access to the PC until next year. When I'm back at work in January, I will try it out and send you a screenshot when the problem is still there.
Merry Christmas to you and your team
9. Re: Cannot access http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/index.htmlMarwim Jan 2, 2013 9:41 AM (in response to Brianw-Oracle)New year, new luck ;-)
at the moment I cannot reproduce the problem. It even works with FF4.

Tony Allen heard it from everybody.
When he chose last summer not to re-sign with the Celtics, where he played his first six pro seasons, getting a nice chunk of minutes off the bench playing for a team that had a shot at winning the NBA title almost every year, everyone thought he was crazy.
That included Grizzlies coach Lionel Hollins, who was fortunate to sign Allen.
But Allen, even after some early-season struggles, never doubted his move. So when the final seconds of the Grizzlies' 101-96 victory over the Kings Friday was about to tick away, announcing the Grizzlies had clinched at least the eighth and final Western Conference playoff spot, Allen fell to his knees and kissed the half-court line in the midcourt jump circle at FedExForum.
"There was a lot going through my head," Allen said. "I was thinking back to (Grizzlies assistant) Coach (Henry) Bibby telling me when I wasn't playing a lot to stay with it, that I was going to help this team.
"It's just been a long road. Coach Bibby always stayed in my ear telling me that I was going to help this team get to the playoffs. He believed in me and he kept me going."
Allen became the Grizzlies' burst of defensive energy, someone who could change game momentum with steals and acrobatic dunks off the turnovers. And he has also been a fierce shot-blocker, rejecting a potential game-tying lay-up by the Kings' Tyreke Evans with 16.9 seconds left.
"Now we set a standard, now we know what it takes to get to the playoffs, to have some consistency," Allen said. "Look at the Oklahoma City Thunder. If they can do it, why can't we? Before I signed here, I knew we had the tools to do it and we did it."
GRIZZLIES 101, KINGS 96: The Grizzlies (45-34) led by as many as 12 points in the final minutes of the third quarter, but you could see this game going down to the end at Fed Ex Forum. Memphis was a bit too sloppy, a bit too anxious on offense to consistently execute. But the Grizzlies had enough gas in the tank in the end, going inside to Zach Randolph, who took on the whole Kings front line. He had game highs of 27 points and 15 rebounds, including eight points and six rebounds in the fourth quarter as the Grizzlies clinched a playoff berth for the first time since 2005-06.

Что то немного напомнило кино "Параллельные миры")
Атмосферно и классно, я б там прогулялся ))
love it!
That's fine! I'd like to be there.
Very cool.
Nice , would that be a hot cave
I wouldn't have thought caves.
But I do like how the light looks like a sunrise. I guess it could be a sunset too.
If I move into a cave I'm going to hire the same interior decorator. Another winner Alex!!
very cool
Wonderful, keep up the good work
well done!
beautiful piece man
Awesome cave!

In response to reduced oxygen or nutrient supply, the fetus may redistribute cardiac output to conserve brain and heart growth, at the expense of the peripheral tissues; however, it is not known whether alterations in vascular function are maintained after birth or whether reduced fetal oxygen versus nutrient supply produces distinct effects. Using a pressure myograph, we examined isolated carotid and femoral artery responses to phenylephrine and endothelin-1 in neonatal rats, after either reduced maternal oxygen or global nutrient restriction during late gestation. Timed-pregnant Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly assigned to control (n = 10), hypoxia (12% O2, n = 9), or nutrient restriction (NR, 40% of control diet, n = 7) protocol and treated from day 15–21 of pregnancy. Pups were collected 3–12 h after birth. Neonatal weights (P < 0.001) and relative liver weights (P < 0.001) were lower in hypoxia and nutrient restriction treatments compared with control, while relative heart weights were greater in the hypoxia than in the control or nutrient restriction groups (P < 0.01). Constriction to phenylephrine was reduced in carotid arteries from the hypoxia and nutrient restriction groups compared with control (P < 0.001), while the femoral artery response was greater in hypoxia-treated neonates compared with control or nutrient-restricted neonates (P < 0.01). Only the hypoxia reduced carotid responses to endothelin-1, while no differences were observed in the endothelin-1 responses in femoral arteries. Maternal hypoxia and maternal nutrient restriction produced distinct effects on heart growth and neonatal vascular function, suggesting that regional changes in cardiovascular function after poor fetal growth are dependent on the nature of the insult in utero.

intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) is associated with increased morbidity and mortality during the perinatal period (13). A series of epidemiological studies has also demonstrated that poor growth in utero is associated with increased risk of developing cardiovascular disease and hypertension in later life (2, 3, 23). It has been suggested that the mechanisms by which the fetus adapts to a suboptimal intrauterine environment may allow its continued growth in utero but also increase the subsequent risk of developing cardiovascular disease (3, 31). It has now been demonstrated that infants (16, 29, 33), children (30), and young adults (18, 24) who were of low birth weight have impaired peripheral vascular function compared with contemporaries of appropriate birth weight. This may suggest that when growth in utero is restricted, early alterations in local vascular function result in a persistent impairment in peripheral vascular function after birth. While such changes may contribute to the increased risk of developing hypertension and cardiovascular disease in adult life, it is not yet clear how specific deficits in the in utero environment may alter vascular function after birth.
Placental insufficiency, which limits the supply of both oxygen and nutrients to the fetus, is a major clinical cause of IUGR (10, 20). There is now substantial evidence that in animal models, poor maternal nutrition during pregnancy can impair fetal (32, 35) and adult vascular function (4, 8, 9, 21). Similarly, acute hypoxia in vitro and chronic maternal hypoxia for 4 days has been demonstrated to impair endothelial function in the fetal guinea pig carotid artery; however, this impairment was not observed following 7 days of chronic hypoxia (44). Although it has been clearly demonstrated that one of the important fetal adaptations to either acute or sustained hypoxia is a redistribution of fetal cardiac output, to ensure a preferential supply of nutrients to the brain and the heart and maintain their growth, at the expense of the periphery (5, 31, 42), it is not yet known whether changes in regional vascular function after fetal hypoxia may persist after birth.
The redistribution of fetal cardiac output during hypoxia may be partially dependent on the reported increased circulating levels of several vasoactive factors, including norepinephrine (14, 43) and endothelin-1 (1, 19), but may also involve changes in the local vascular responses to these circulating factors. The effects of chronic hypoxia in utero on the regional vascular responses to these vasoconstrictors after birth are not yet known.
To determine whether reduced oxygen supply in utero influences regional vasoconstrictor responses at birth, before the additional influences of various determinants of postnatal growth, we have investigated the effects of chronic maternal hypoxia on the vascular responses of two distinct arteries from neonatal offspring: the carotid artery, which supplies blood flow to the brain, and the femoral artery, which supplies the periphery. We have tested the hypothesis that chronic maternal hypoxia in rats reduces neonatal carotid artery responses to the vasoconstrictors phenylephrine and endothelin-1, while increasing the responses of neonatal femoral arteries to these factors. As it has been previously demonstrated that chronic hypoxia reduces food intake in pregnant rats (6, 15, 46), we also determined the effects of maternal nutritional restriction during late gestation on the vascular responses of arteries from the neonatal offspring.
All procedures in this study were approved by the University of Alberta Animal Welfare Committee and were in accordance with the guidelines of the Canadian Council on Animal Care. Female Sprague-Dawley rats were obtained at 3 mo of age (Charles River, Quebec, Canada) and were mated within the animal facility after a minimum 1-wk acclimatization. Pregnancy was confirmed by the presence of sperm in a vaginal smear examined microscopically the following morning, and this was considered day 0 of pregnancy. All rats received food (standard lab rat chow) ad libitum from day 0–15 of pregnancy. On day 15, rats were randomized to control, maternal hypoxia, or maternal nutrient restriction protocols. Throughout pregnancy, rats were housed individually in standard rat cages, which were maintained in a clean conventional facility, with 60% humidity, a 12:12-h light-dark cycle, and ad libitum access to water. Control group rats (n = 10) were housed in room air on a rack in the same room as the chambers that hypoxic and nutrient-restricted dams were housed in, and were fed ad libitum throughout pregnancy. Food intake and weight gain were measured daily in all pregnant rats.
Maternal hypoxia.
To reduce maternal oxygen supply during late gestation, nine pregnant rats were placed inside a Plexiglas chamber on day 15 of pregnancy, which was maintained at 12% oxygen by continuous infusion of a mixture of nitrogen and compressed air, without additional infusion of carbon dioxide. Previous investigations have demonstrated that maternal hypoxia, ranging between 9.0% and 14.0% oxygen for varying lengths of time, reduced fetal growth and altered organ proportions, validating the use of this technique to induce asymmetric fetal growth restriction (6, 46). The oxygen concentration of the chamber was monitored throughout treatment using a portable oxygen analyzer, which was calibrated daily (Hudson RCI, Temecula, CA). The chamber, which housed a maximum of three pregnant rats, maintained individually in separate standard rat cages at any time, was opened briefly once per day to weigh rats and food as well as to clean the cages. Rats were removed from the chamber on the morning of day 22 of pregnancy, and housed in room air until delivery.
Maternal nutrient restriction.
A group of pregnant rats (n = 7) randomized to a maternal nutrient restriction protocol were placed inside a second, identical Plexiglass chamber on day 15 of pregnancy, which was continuously infused with compressed air. Oxygen concentration was checked periodically to ensure rats were exposed to 21% oxygen. The chamber was opened briefly once per day to allow rats to be weighed and cages cleaned. From day 15, rats were administered 11.5 ± 1 g standard rat chow/day, which was equivalent to the lowest food intake recorded in rats exposed to maternal hypoxia, and represented 40% of control food intake during this time. Although it was intended that the rats were to remain in the chamber until day 22 of pregnancy, in six of the seven rats, delivery occurred on day 21, and thus rats were removed from the chamber at this time. All rats were returned to normal diet after delivery.
Tissue collection.
Within 3–12 h after birth, all pups were weighed, and litter size was reduced to eight pups, which were returned to the dam for use in other studies. The remaining neonatal rats were collected at this time, and were euthanized by decapitation. Brain, heart, lung, liver, and kidneys were dissected from one to four pups per litter for the determination of relative organ proportions. Vascular function experiments were performed in arteries isolated from one neonate per litter from a total of seven control, seven maternal hypoxia, and 5 maternal nutrient restriction litters. In the remainder of animals, the timing of birth prevented vascular experiments being performed; however, maternal and neonatal weight/organ weight data pertinent to the animal model have been included. Carotid and femoral arteries were gently dissected free of connective tissue in ice-cold DMEM buffer (27) (DMEM; 1 mmol/l sodium pyruvate, 25 mmol/l sodium bicarbonate, 5 mmol/l HEPES, 5 mmol/l d-glucose, containing 1.8 mmol/l calcium, 5.4 mmol/l potassium, and 137.2 mmol/l sodium, pH 7.4; Sigma, St. Louis, MO) for the assessment of vascular function. The HEPES-buffered medium is a closed system that maintains extracellular and intracellular pH, the latter through the intrinsic mechanisms of the cell such as Na+/H+ exchange and phosphates (17).
Vessel preparation and equipment.
For each vessel, the dissection was extended to provide the longest segment of artery that is practical to dissect from a rat at this developmental stage, and the full segment was mounted for study, thus avoiding any regional differences in vessel reactivity. After dissection the sections of carotid and femoral arteries were mounted on a pressurized myograph system (Living Systems, Burlington, VT) in a 2.5-ml organ bath filled with DMEM. This technique was chosen as it applies minimal mechanical stress to the artery being studied, making it ideal for the study of delicate neonatal arteries. It should be noted, however, that endothelial function was not directly assessed in this protocol. Briefly, one end of the artery was gently opened and slipped over the tip of a glass cannula (60- to 80-μm diameter), which was then secured with a short section of synthetic thread. Blood was then flushed from the preparation by gently flowing medium through the lumen of the artery. A second glass cannula was positioned inside the open end of the artery and secured by thread. Flow through one cannula was blocked by means of a stop-cock, while flow through the second cannula enabled the artery preparation to be pressurized at 12 mmHg, using a pressure-servo-regulated peristaltic pump (Living Systems). The preparation was allowed to stabilize for 30 min at 37°C. This pressure was chosen on the basis of preliminary studies, which indicated that 12 mmHg was sufficient to maintain viable carotid and femoral arteries, with adequate lumen visibility to allow accurate measurement. Vessel viability was reduced at higher pressures. After stabilization, concentration-response curves were performed to determine the vascular response to increasing concentrations of the vasoconstrictor phenylephrine (1 nmol/l to 50 μmol/l; Sigma). After 4-min exposure to each concentration, artery lumen diameter and wall thickness were measured in two places using an inverted microscope (Nikon, TS100-F) and video camera (Sony, charge-coupled device monochrome XC-ST30) in concert with a video dimension analyzer (Living Systems; measurement precision 1–2 μm), and subsequently averaged. In a subset of arteries, after completion of the phenylephrine concentration-response curve, vessels were washed in DMEM for 1 h, before the vascular responses to endothelin-1 were determined by the same method (0.1 nmol/l to 0.1 μmol/l; Sigma). Fresh medium was supplied at 10-min intervals throughout the experiment.
Data analysis.
All data are presented as means ± SE. Maternal characteristics, neonatal weight, organ weights, and relative organ proportions were compared using one-way ANOVA and, where relevant, Tukey's post hoc analysis. Maternal weight gain and food intake before and after the start of treatment were compared using two-way ANOVA for repeated measures, followed by Tukey's post hoc test. Artery lumen diameter and wall thickness at baseline were compared among groups using one-way ANOVA and Tukey's post hoc test. Concentration-response curves are presented graphically as the mean percent constriction ± SE at each point. Percent constriction was determined as the artery lumen diameter after drug administration expressed as a fraction of baseline lumen diameter. Vascular responses in this study were compared among groups using two-way ANOVA for repeated measures, as the nature of the concentration response curve generated by femoral arteries to phenylephrine made calculation of EC50 values inappropriate. Wherever possible, comparisons of EC50 values were also performed; however, for this purpose, EC50s were calculated using Sigma Plot 8.0 pharmacology standard curves analysis. Statistical significance was defined as P < 0.05 and is indicated within all figures by the use of different letters.
Maternal characteristics.
There was no difference in maternal age or weight at the start of pregnancy, or in the observed litter size among groups (Table 1). There were also no significant differences in the number of stillborn pups among the treatment groups (Table 1). Food intake before treatment was not different among groups. Maternal hypoxia significantly reduced food intake during the treatment period, compared with control, (P < 0.001), whereas food intake in the maternal nutrient restriction group was also lower (P < 0.001) than control, but not significantly different from the maternal hypoxia group (Fig. 1A). Similarly, weight gain before pregnancy was not different among groups, but weight gain during treatment was significantly reduced in both maternal hypoxia and maternal nutrient restriction groups (P < 0.001; Fig. 1B). Maximal weight gain on day 21 of pregnancy was greater in control (C) than in maternal hypoxia (H) or maternal nutrient restriction (NR), (C 149.8 ± 2.5 g vs. H 132.8 ± 2.2 g or NR 126.0 ± 1.7 g, P < 0.001). When the day of delivery was compared among groups, delivery occurred earlier in maternal nutrient restriction dams than in maternal hypoxia dams (H 22.4 ± 0.2 days vs. NR 21.2 ± 0.1 days, P < 0.05); however, neither group was significantly different from control (C 21.8 ± 0.1 day).
Neonatal and organ weights.
Neonatal body weight was reduced by both maternal hypoxia and maternal nutrient restriction, compared with control (C: 6.5 ± 0.1 g vs. H: 5.9 ± 0.1 g or NR: 5.6 ± 0.1 g, P < 0.001, Fig. 2A). Neonatal heart and brain weights were significantly higher in offspring from maternal hypoxia than maternal nutrient restriction, while liver weights were lower in both groups compared with control (P < 0.05; Table 2). Lung weights were not different among groups; however, combined kidney weights were significantly lower in pups from maternal nutrient restriction dams than from either control or maternal hypoxia (Table 2). When organ weights were expressed as a proportion of body weight, it was observed that heart weights constituted a greater proportion of body weight in pups from maternal hypoxia than from either control or nutrient restriction. (Fig. 2B, P < 0.05) Proportional brain weights were also greater in maternal hypoxia offspring than control (Fig. 2C, P < 0.05). The relative brain weight in pups from maternal nutrient restriction tended to be greater than control (Fig. 2C; P = 0.076) but was not different from maternal hypoxia. Proportional liver weight was reduced in both maternal hypoxia and maternal nutrient restriction compared with control (Fig. 2D; P < 0.01), whereas there was no significant difference in the proportional weight of either lung or kidney between groups (data not shown).
Carotid and femoral vascular responses.
After equilibration, and before the beginning of the experiment, the lumen diameters of carotid and femoral arteries were not significantly different among groups (carotid: C, 146.6 ± 17.9 μm; H, 137.4 ± 13.2 μm; NR, 144.4 ± 18.0 μm; femoral: C, 167.8 ± 19.1 μm; H, 186.5 ± 19.1 μm; NR, 159.1 ± 26.1 μm). Arterial wall thickness was also not different among groups (carotid: C, 41.2 ± 7.6 μm; H, 30.7 ± 4.3 μm; NR, 43.0 ± 9.6 μm; femoral: C, 24.5 ± 3.1 μm; H, 24.0 ± 3.6 μm; NR, 28.5 ± 6.6 μm). Similarly, the wall:lumen ratios of carotid and femoral arteries at baseline were not different among groups (carotid: C, 0.30 ± 0.06; H, 0.22 ± 0.02; NR, 0.32 ± 0.09; femoral: C, 0.16 ± 0.02; H, 0.13 ± 0.02; NR, 0.16 ± 0.04). Although carotid artery wall thickness tended to be greater (P = 0.09) than femoral artery wall thickness in the control group, no significant difference was observed in wall thickness between the two arteries in maternal hypoxia or maternal nutrient restriction groups.
Both arterial constriction in response to increasing concentrations of phenylephrine, and the maximal constriction attained were lower in the carotid artery of pups from either maternal hypoxia or maternal nutrient restriction dams compared with control (P = 0.002; Fig. 3A), while the sensitivity to phenylephrine was not different among groups (EC50: C: 45.1 ± 26 nmol/l, H: 138.0 ± 59.8 nmol/l, NR: 89.5 ± 25 nmol/l). In contrast, femoral artery constriction in response to increasing concentrations of phenylephrine was significantly enhanced in arteries of pups from maternal hypoxia compared with those from either control or maternal nutrient restriction dams (P = 0.003; Fig. 3B). Femoral arteries did not sustain constriction at the highest doses of phenylephrine, and thus the maximal constriction was compared at a concentration of 1 μmol/l. Maximal constriction was greatest in femoral arteries from pups of maternal hypoxia-treated dams, and it was significantly higher than those from control or maternal nutrient restriction dams (H: 55.2 ± 9.2% vs. C: 27.8 ± 5.4% or NR: 33.0 ± 7.2%, P < 0.01).
In a subset of experiments, the vascular response to endothelin-1 was also determined. The cumulative response to increasing endothelin-1 concentration was less in carotid arteries of neonates from maternal hypoxia, but not maternal nutrient restriction, compared with control (Fig. 4A, P < 0.05). There were no differences, however, in the maximal carotid artery constriction to endothelin-1 or in the sensitivity to endothelin-1 among groups (EC50: C, 7.11 ± 2.78 nmol/l, H, 30.3 ± 15.0 nmol/l, NR, 11.2 ± 10.5 nmol/l). No differences were apparent in the femoral artery response to increasing endothelin-1 concentrations, sensitivity (EC50: C, 26.0 ± 13.1 nmol/l; H, 27.1 ± 6.84 nmol/l; NR, 56.1 ± 18.4 nmol/l), or the maximal constriction at 0.1 μmol/l endothelin-1 among groups (Fig. 4B).
Reduction in either maternal oxygen or nutrient supply during the last week of gestation resulted in reduced neonatal size and perturbations of neonatal organ weight and proportion. These effects are consistent with previous reports of the impact of reduced oxygen or nutrient supply during pregnancy on fetal growth (46, 47). Conservation of brain and heart growth in offspring from maternal hypoxia dams and reduced liver growth in offspring from both hypoxia and nutrient restriction dams suggest that that the two treatments caused changes in peripheral resistance that redistributed cardiac output. Chronic maternal hypoxia, however, specifically increased relative neonatal heart weight, suggesting that fetal growth was differentially affected by the two maternal treatments. To our knowledge, this study is the first to determine the impact of reduced oxygen and/or nutrient supply in utero on regional vasoconstrictor responses in the neonatal rat. Although the changes in vascular function observed in offspring from maternal hypoxia supported our hypothesis, interestingly, maternal nutrient restriction produced distinct effects on vascular function, highlighting that the neonatal vascular consequences of fetal growth restriction are dependent on the specific nature of the in utero environment.
Several authors have used chronic maternal hypoxia to restrict fetal growth in rats previously and have demonstrated that across a range of oxygen reductions imposed at different times throughout gestation, this treatment results in reduced fetal or neonatal body weight and altered fetal organ growth (6, 15, 25, 28, 34, 36, 37, 46, 47). Decreased maternal food intake as a consequence of maternal hypoxia has also been reported previously (6, 15, 46). It is interesting to postulate that this may have effectively resulted in a greater cumulative substrate deficit and thus constituted a dual insult for the offspring exposed to maternal hypoxia. Although there was a decrease in food intake in the dams exposed to chronic hypoxia, it is likely that the available oxygen supply also limited metabolism, such that nutrient supply was appropriate to metabolic demand. The partial recovery of maternal appetite as hypoxia treatment continued indicates that the pregnant dam may be able to adapt to reduced oxygen. In contrast, the decreased available food in the maternal nutrient restriction group may have presented a greater fetal nutrient deficit. The similar effects of the two treatments on birth weight and organ growth do not suggest that the restriction of fetal growth was more severe in dams exposed to hypoxia.
The increase in heart weight and proportion observed in offspring from maternal hypoxia-treated dams in this study is consistent with previous reports in fetal rats after chronic maternal hypoxia (10.5%) from day 19 to day 21 of gestation (47). Intermittent hypobaric hypoxia, either prenatally or postnatally, in rats also increased heart weight and proportion of body weight (34). It is interesting that several recent studies have demonstrated perturbations in heart development and function after chronic maternal hypoxia (25, 47).
Our results demonstrated that reductions in maternal oxygen or nutrient supply produced effects on vascular function, in the absence of significant structural differences, that were consistent with the redistribution of cardiac output and remained evident in the neonate at birth. Although both maternal hypoxia and maternal nutrient restriction reduced the carotid artery response to phenylephrine, only hypoxia increased the femoral artery response to this vasoconstrictor. Thus changes in vascular function, which serve to maintain brain blood flow in utero in fetuses exposed to either hypoxia or nutrient restriction, are still evident some 12 h after birth. Only exposure of the fetus to maternal hypoxia, however, resulted in an enhanced femoral vasoconstrictor response to phenylephrine, which highlights a differential effect of restriction of oxygen or nutrient supply on peripheral vascular function in the neonate. Furthermore, although there was a marked reduction in the carotid artery response to endothelin-1 after exposure to maternal hypoxia, maternal nutrient restriction had no effect on the carotid artery vasoconstrictor response to this agonist. There were also no differences observed in the femoral artery response to endothelin-1 between neonates exposed to maternal hypoxia or nutrient restriction.
The regional changes in vascular function, which were observed after each maternal insult, may reflect specific fetal vascular adaptations to either reduced oxygen or nutrient supply. Although fetal plasma norepinephrine levels have consistently been reported as increased in response to hypoxia (12, 38), maternal fasting also results in increased fetal plasma norepinephrine concentrations (7). Spontaneously hypoglycemic fetal sheep do not have increased basal norepinephrine concentrations, but there is a greater increase in plasma norepinephrine in these fetuses in response to acute hypoxia (12). These findings may suggest that catecholamines are involved in the fetal adaptation to both hypoxia and undernutrition. In vascular tissue, expression of the precursor protein for endothelin-1 is increased by hypoxia-inducible factor-1 signaling (22), and the reported increase in fetal plasma endothelin-1 levels in response to hypoxia (1, 16) may represent a specific adaptation to a reduced oxygen supply.
Although this study has demonstrated that either reduced oxygen or nutrient supply during gestation may alter neonatal vascular responses, the mechanisms involved in these alterations are not yet clear. Neonatal carotid artery constriction in response to increasing concentrations of both phenylephrine and endothelin-1 was lower after chronic maternal hypoxia, while sensitivity to each agonist was unchanged. However, the maximal constriction to endothelin-1 was not significantly different among groups, which may suggest that differences in contractile capacity of carotid arteries did not account for the observed responses. The effect of hypoxia on fetal vascular smooth muscle development is currently unclear. Tension generated to depolarizing KCl was lower in coronary arteries from fetal sheep exposed to long-term, high-altitude hypoxia (11). Consistent with the results of the current study, however, in which no significant effect on carotid wall or lumen size was observed, this treatment appears to have little effect on cerebral artery size or structure in the fetal sheep (26). Acute hypoxia in vitro also slightly decreased the response to depolarizing KCl in chick embryo femoral arteries (40); however, it has previously been demonstrated in chick embryos that chronic hypoxia increased the aortic wall:lumen ratio as a consequence of medial hypertrophic growth (39), which would suggest that conduit artery smooth muscle mass may be increased, at least in some arteries, by chronic hypoxia. However, in our study there was no difference in the wall thickness or wall:lumen ratio in either the carotid or femoral arteries among the groups, suggesting that specific structural changes of the arteries do not account for the observed differences in vasoconstriction.
Maternal nutrient restriction did not reduce carotid artery responses to endothelin-1 in this study, which may indicate that the decreased response was specific to phenylephrine, rather than related to changes in endothelial or vascular smooth muscle function. Although previous authors have investigated the effects of maternal undernutrition on isolated vascular function in resistance-sized arteries from peripheral vascular beds in fetal sheep (32, 35), and adult rat (4, 8, 21), to our knowledge, the effects on carotid artery function have not previously been examined. The increase in femoral artery vasoconstriction after maternal hypoxia treatment was specific to phenylephrine, although the limited data available for endothelin-1 in this vascular bed should be interpreted cautiously.
The sympathetic nervous system has been clearly demonstrated to be involved in the redistribution of cardiac output in response to acute hypoxia in the fetus (14), and it has also been demonstrated that circulating norepinephrine levels are higher in low- than in high-birth weight piglets at 3 mo of age (38). Two recent studies have investigated the effects of chronic hypoxia during incubation on the functioning of peripheral arteries in the chick embryo, and they have demonstrated increased femoral periarterial innervation (41) and increased basal sympathetic tone in mesenteric arteries (39), respectively. Our results would suggest an increased responsiveness of peripheral arteries to α1-adrenergic receptor activation after chronic hypoxia in the fetal rat, which is still evident at birth.
Although there were no differences in the responses of femoral arteries from offspring of nutrient-restricted dams relative to control in this study, it has previously been demonstrated that nutrient restriction impaired endothelium-dependent and -independent relaxation of resistance-sized arteries from the femoral vascular bed in fetal sheep (32, 35). It is possible that any reductions in femoral blood flow after maternal nutritional restriction affect the functioning of resistance-sized arterioles, but not conduit arteries. Interestingly, it has previously been demonstrated that reduced maternal protein intake produces alterations in the function of small mesenteric arteries, without affecting responses in the thoracic aorta of adult male offspring (45). The differences we observed between the responses of femoral arteries from the offspring of hypoxia and nutrient-restricted dams may reflect underlying differences in the mechanisms mediating redistribution of cardiac output in response to these two treatments. Several possible mechanisms may contribute to the altered regional vascular responses to phenylephrine and endothelin-1 observed in this study, including regional changes in receptor expression, calcium sensitivity, or vascular smooth muscle maturation.
In conclusion, we have demonstrated that both reduced maternal oxygen and nutrient supply during late gestation restricted fetal growth and led to perturbations of neonatal vascular responses to vasoconstrictor agents in the absence of changes in artery wall thickness or wall:lumen diameter ratio. As regional vascular responses were differentially altered by reduced oxygen versus nutrient supply, this study further demonstrates that changes in vascular function at birth are dependent on the specific nature of the insult during development. The regional changes in vascular function observed in this study may be the reason that cardiac output is redistributed during fetal life and thus may have contributed to conserving brain growth during development. Persistent alterations in vascular function in the IUGR neonate may impact cardiovascular regulation in these infants, however, and thus contribute to the development of adverse postnatal outcomes associated with impaired fetal growth. These data also highlight the heterogeneity of vascular effects after impaired fetal growth that may be expected within human populations, in which the underlying causes of fetal growth restriction are diverse.

|NonTransactionalRead & Query Fetchplan
|Wed, 08 Oct 2008 09:33:15 GMT
Hi, I have a question about the behaviour of Queries after a commit when "NonTransactionalRead" is set to true. Should a Query behave like it did before the commit? More specifically, when defining a fetchsize in the FetchPlan I would like to see that the Query is still honouring this fetchsize after a commit is given. If I am not mistaken, this is not explicitly described in the specification? The scenario I am working with is as such: I have set NonTransactionRead=true and Multithreaded=true. I have 1 pm, and 2 threads. Thread 1 performs reads (executing queries with large result set) and Thread 2 performs writes. Now when I am iterating over a large query in Thread 1 and Thread 2 is doing a commit, I don't want this to affect the iterating over the query in Thread 1. kind regards, Christiaan -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/NonTransactionalRead---Query-Fetchplan-tp19875446p19875446.html Sent from the JDO - Development mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

The 10 most popular classic British motorcycles
Classic British motorcycles and their enduring popularity have a similar story to British sports cars. The United Kingdom lived by the "Export or Die" mantra during the immediate postwar years, and Britain's industries ramped up production for sale abroad, particularly across the pond in the U.S. Motorcycles actually made up one of Britain's largest industries behind automobiles for much of the postwar period, and almost everyone who was buying a large bike that wasn't a Harley was buying something made in the British Isles. The period from the end of World War II until the Japanese invasion of the 1970s was a golden age for British bikes.
American riders bought Vincents, Nortons, Velocettes, Ariels, Royal Enfields and more, but as far as sales and popularity go, there are two marques that stood above the rest: BSA and Triumph. This is shown in their popularity as classic motorcycles today, as measured by the number of examples insured by Hagerty.
After acquiring Triumph Motorcycles in 1951, the BSA Group quickly became the largest motorcycle manufacturer in the world and the majority of both Triumph and BSA production for much of the 1950s and 1960s was exported. During the 1960s, Triumph had about half of the U.S. market for large bikes. Many of the UK's other bike manufacturers were smaller concerns, so just as you're much more likely to see an MGB today than a Lotus Elan, you're much more likely to see a Triumph Bonneville than a Velocette Venom.
For both Triumph and BSA, the massive number of examples built (over 28,000 Bonnevilles in 1967 alone), ample parts availability, and rich history that includes racing success and appearances in pop culture make them practical, appealing classic bikes and explains why they're the two most ridden classic British makes today.
With the summer auction season mostly gone and enough distance between Monterey Car Week and now to see through the settling dust, Hagerty Price Guide has publi … More

Cool siamese Manx-mix AHNM Senior Pet Cat By AnimalHumaneNM
Oldest cat ever! By Jebudge
This is my neighbor's 19 year old cat.
30 Year Old Cat By Poxiemateo
Lady - World oldest cat By SuperZadie
Lady is about 120; in human years! We don't know how old she is, because she was taken in as a (charmingly persistent) stray. She has been a part of our family for close to 15 years. Her longevity is probably due to being pampered, and kept by members of the our family - all her life. I'm the third family member to adopt her, over the past 15 years. She has rarely ever been outside in the wilds, or around other cats. She is strictly an indoor (window sill) cat, but has spent some years allowed as far as a patio / balcony. I just adopted her, my first ever very own pet. She is a family cat, so she knows me really well. Unfortunately, she came to me on the last hour ... of her 9th life. She needs a lot of special senior cat care, and TLC. There is so much to know about Cat care, it boggles the mind. Like: Cats will die if they eat / ingest chocolate! I never knew that. No problem here, as I'm allergic to chocolate. I'm also allergic to cats! In this video; Lady has just been brushed on the balcony, hair and dander is floating around outside. I'm allergic, and this (also air purification/filter systems) is the only way I can manage to keep her. So, I brush and groom her several times a day (she loves it) outside. Naturally after all that brushing, fluffing and cuddling she knows she will get fed a treat. I however need her to wait a few minutes, to let the dander and hair dissipate - before letting her back into the house. Funny, when she is inside she wants nothing but to go out, and when she is out ... She was quite the patient Lady, and did enjoy her treats. She is a very sweet, beautiful and loving Kitty. I hope she hangs out with me for a long time.

Filling In Blanks
Automating the restoration of a picture's missing pieces
Faced with a grime-encrusted, damaged painting, a conservator can spend many months restoring the artwork. It's often not enough to meticulously clean off dirt, remove discolored varnish, and repair torn, warped, or cracked canvas. Where paint has flaked away to expose bare spots, a conservator may need to fill in the ragged scars–a practice known as inpainting. This process is time-

Air conditioning dates back to the 1830s, when a Florida physician created a machine to blow cool air over hospital patients afflicted with malaria and yellow fever. Home air conditioning began to appear in the early 1900s as a series of improvements helped create appliances that could cool homes in more efficient ways. Sales of window units took off particularly after World War II. Today, air conditioning is ubiquitous in many parts of the United States. When to turn on air conditioning is largely a personal decision based on your own comfort, although you can also look for other clues.
Things You'll Need
- Household thermometer
Take note of how you feel during the day. Are you overly hot in your un-air conditioned home or do you feel comfortable most of the time? Use your comfort level as a gauge of when to turn on the air conditioner.
Note your sleeping habits over several nights and whether you wake up with blankets wrapped around you or on the floor. If you are regularly throwing off your blankets during the night, you may be overheating. Consider turning on your air conditioner at that point.
Ask any housemates the same questions about personal comfort level and sleeping habits. People react to temperature fluctuations differently, and what is comfortable to you may be overly warm to those who share your home. Turn on the air conditioner if anyone shows signs of discomfort.
Monitor your pets for signs of overheating, such as excessive panting or lethargic behavior. Turn on the air conditioner if your animal show signs of overheating.
Check your house plants for signs of wilting, yellowing or soil that dries faster than normal. The house plants may be reacting to an overly warm home, and it is time to turn on the air conditioner.

ATAX Student-Athletes of the Week Both From Indoor Track & Field Team
RIVERDALE, NY – Both of this week's ATAX Manhattan College Student-Athletes of the Week are members of the indoor track & field team. Junior Paige Chapman (Abingdon, MD) was selected on the women's side, while the men's honor went to junior Love Litzell (Ostersund, Sweden).
Chapman took first in the 60 meters and second in the 200 meters at the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC) Indoor Championships over the weekend. After setting a championship record of 7.57 seconds in the preliminary round of the 60 on Saturday, she matched that time in Sunday's final to win her first conference title in the event. Chapman then ran the 200 in 25.00 seconds to earn the silver medal.

Litzell, meanwhile, took first in the weight throw on Saturday night. He was in second place (by just three centimeters) for a majority of the competition before uncorking a toss of 20.11 meters (65 feet, 11¾ inches) on his final attempt. With that effort, Litzell captured the MAAC title in the weight throw for the first time in career.
