Sunday, September 5, 2021, WDHS Family Update
Sunday, September 5, 2021, WDHS Family Update Hello Everyone, Happy Labor Day Weekend! After the rain on Friday and Saturday morning’s drizzly and dreary start, it was nice to see the sun appear in the afternoon and brighten up things a bit. Even with the mix of clouds and sunshine today, conditions are nearly ideal for Labor Day festivities. In a town like ours that caters to those on vacation, we sometimes do not get the chance to partake in the holiday quite the same way as our visitors but hopefully folks are able to enjoy some time in the outdoors and/or with family and friends. Turning our sights ahead to the week, we add another day of school this week as we ramp up the start of the year. Something that was immediately noticed and felt by staff and students last week was the number of people in the building as compared to when we finished school in June. Our population at the end of the school year was about 550 and roughly 25 students were still in the virtual setting. As of Friday, we are officially hovering around 610 students although there is still some expected fluctuation that typically occurs at the start of every school year. As I shared with the staff Friday morning, I expect we will end up with just under 600 students but that is still 25 more than we were predicting. This underlies how fortunate we are to have the space provided by our still very new high school and how grateful we are to be here. -

EPISODE 200 "PEACE OF MURPHY" Written by REDACTED Directed by REDACTED PRODUCTION DRAFT 08/01/15 FULL BLUE 08/05/15 The Asylum Los Angeles 45315 FADE IN: 1 EXT. COUNTRY ROAD - DAY 1 We open on a desolate stretch of back-road. The mid-day sun beats down. There’s no noise. No crickets chirping. Like most places in this world: dead and way too quiet. A RUSTED BILLBOARD casts a shadow across the sweltering tarmac. A cartoon bear warning visitors that “ONLY YOU CAN PREVENT FOREST FIRES”. Behind the billboard, in the distance - AN ATOMIC FIRE RAVAGES THE LANDSCAPE. SLOW FOOTSTEPS break the silence. A WOUNDED-MAN drags himself down the road. Blackened and burned: The clothes are literally falling from his back. He’s sick and desperate - A victim of radiation poisoning. The Wounded-Man reaches the shadow of the billboard before stumbling - And collapsing to his knees. He looks towards the sky. Coughs. WOUNDED-MAN Please. Somebody... Anybody? ANGLE ON: A VEHICLE APPROACHING FROM THE DISTANCE The man smiles, his prayers have been answered. WOUNDED-MAN (CONT’D) Oh God, stop. Please stop. He climbs to his feet with what strength he can muster and frantically waves his arms around. The Truck continues its approach - It’s not slowing down. He realizes - and DASHES to the side - just as the vehicle speeds past. SCREECH! - The Truck comes to a complete stop just past the billboard. Brake-lights shine. The truck reverses back towards the bewildered man. The driver side window rolls down, revealing the mans savior - MURPHY sitting at the wheel with ROBERTA riding shotgun. -
Portrait of Rashid Johnson
Rosen, Miss. “View a Series of Portraits of Extraordinary Black Artists,” Dazed, June 6, 2017. “Portrait of Rashid Johnson and Sanford Biggers, The Ambassadors”, 2017 oil on canvas painting: 120 5/16 x 85 5/8 inches (305.6 x 217.5 cm) framed: 131 5/16 x 96 11/16 x 4 1/2 inches (333.5 x 245.6 x 11.4 cm)© Kehinde Wiley, courtesy Sean Kelly, New York The Trickster exists in different cultures around the globe: the wily shapeshifter with the power to transform the way we see the world. As an archetype, The Trickster can be found in any walk of life where people must operate according to more than one set of rules, moving seamlessly between the appearance of things and the underlying truth. Artists know this realm well for they are consigned to delve deep below the surface and manifest what they find. Yet their discoveries are not necessarily in line with the status quo; more often than not, they will upset polite society and upend respectability politics by speaking truth to power – quite literally. In the United States, African Americans know this well. Throughout the course of the nation’s history, they have been forced to deal with systemic oppression and abuse in a culture filled with double speak that began with the words “All men are created equal,” penned in the Declaration of Independence by Thomas Jefferson, a man who kept his own children as slaves until his death. Throughout his career, artist Kehinde Wiley has moved smoothly between spheres of influence, using the canon of Western art as a tool of subversion, celebration, and recognition for those who have long been excluded from the narrative. -
Overexpression of Glut4 Protein in Muscle Increases Basal and Insulin-Stimulated Whole Body Glucose Disposal in Conscious Mice
Overexpression of Glut4 protein in muscle increases basal and insulin-stimulated whole body glucose disposal in conscious mice. J M Ren, … , J M Amatruda, G I Shulman J Clin Invest. 1995;95(1):429-432. https://doi.org/10.1172/JCI117673. Research Article The effect of increased Glut4 protein expression in muscle and fat on the whole body glucose metabolism has been evaluated by the euglycemic hyperinsulinemic clamp technique in conscious mice. Fed and fasting plasma glucose concentrations were 172 +/- 7 and 78 +/- 7 mg/dl, respectively, in transgenic mice, and were significantly lower than that of nontransgenic littermates (208 +/- 5 mg/dl in fed; 102 +/- 5 mg/dl in fasting state). Plasma lactate concentrations were higher in transgenic mice, (6.5 +/- 0.7 mM in the fed and 5.8 +/- 1.0 mM in fasting state) compared with that of non- transgenic littermates (4.7 +/- 0.3 mM in the fed and 4.2 +/- 0.5 mM in fasting state). In the fed state, the rate of whole body glucose disposal was 70% higher in transgenic mice in the basal state, 81 and 54% higher during submaximal and maximal insulin stimulation. In the fasting state, insulin-stimulated whole body glucose disposal was also higher in the transgenic mice. Hepatic glucose production after an overnight fast was 24.8 +/- 0.7 mg/kg per min in transgenic mice, and 25.4 +/- 2.7 mg/kg per min in nontransgenic mice. Our data demonstrate that overexpression of Glut4 protein in muscle increases basal as well as insulin-stimulated whole body glucose disposal. -

2018 Winning Stories
Top 3 Overall Winners NOW YOU SEE IT, NOW YOU DON’T By: Dr. Rush Pierce It must have started some time before, but I assign the beginning to a sunny August day, auspicious at the time for another reason. I was looking forward to hiking with my daughter, now grown and living far away. Our fun day together ended with a strange comment: “Daddy, your left calf is smaller than the other one.” Some months later I noticed difficulty using my left leg to climb a steep ledge. I recalled my daughter’s comment and thought, that’s odd, stepping up is mainly a function of quadriceps muscles, not gastrocnemius. Then I fell during my morning run. That evening, I measured my calf circumferences by palpating my tibial tuberosities, measuring 10 cm inferiorly, drawing a line, and then circling my calves with a measuring tape. Indeed, there was a 3 cm difference. I recalled a colleague saying they no longer teach medical students this technique because calf swelling has low likelihood ratios for diagnosing deep vein thrombosis. Oh well, I thought, I’m not trying to diagnose DVT. I looked up the causes of painless calf atrophy in a 63-year-old man and found a short list of mostly bad diseases. I saw my primary care physician. I was pleased when she measured my calf circumferences like I had. “There’s a 3 cm difference, I want you to see a neurologist.” This took a few months. By then I had observed occasional twitching movements in my leg.
