Lab Equipment & Instruments Description
The Dynamic Proteome
Goal: To create predictive models of cellular behavior, with a focus on modeling signal transduction dynamics.
Our lab runs a world-class mass spectrometer (LTQ-Orbitrap XL +ETD) that allows us to identify and quantify hundreds to thousands of proteins, lipids, and other metabolites in a single run. With this instrument, we can pose highly informative queries of cell state. We are currently focusing our efforts on these specific objectives:
Protein Protein Interactions
Proteins interact with one another in order to transmit signals from the outside environment (signal transduction), form complex molecular machines, and localize to specific areas of the cell. Current methods for capturing protein-protein interactions (PPIs) lack context and/or specificity. We are developing methods that will enable us to capture in vivo PPIs involving new biochemical, mass spectrometric, and computational techniques. See PPIX project page.
Protein post-translational modifications
Proteins undergo state changes through post-translational modifications. These chemical modifications determine the activity of enzymes, the localization of proteins, and a protein's interactions. We are working to perfect high-throughput methodologies to measure global protein phosphorylation.
In collaboration with Emily Bates' lab, we are currently analyzing differential phosphorylation in brain tissue between migraine susceptible and wild-type mice. See Mouse Brain Phosphoproteomics project page.
Lipidomics & Proteomics of Asthma
Building on the work and expertise of the BYU Lipidomics Team, we are collaborating with Srirama Rao to apply lipidomic and proteomic techniques to mouse asthma models and human lung tissue. Specifically, we are asking:
- Can particular phosphatidyl ethanolamine/choline species be used as biomarkers?
- Can proteomics be coupled with lipidomics to provide mechanistic explanations for different lung phenotypes?
- Can these analyses be used on human biopsies to differentiate and ultimately explain asthma from different origins?
Systems Biology
The integration of measures of protein state to create meaningful models of cellular behavior is an ongoing challenge in Systems Biology.
We are beginning work with Sean Warnick's lab to apply mathematical models to proteomic measurements in order to deduce protein network structure. To accomplish this, prescribed sets of time series data and over/under expression of particular nodes are used with Dynamical Structure Analysis (DSA), yielding a useful model of protein interactions and dynamics. We are addressing how to:
- Scale DSA to larger numbers of measurements.
- Deal with noise and signal loss in measures of concentration.
- Supplement network reconstruction with direct measures of protein interactions.

Open, Dynamic Tools for Proteomics
Mass spectrometry based proteomic data sets are challenging to analyze due to their enormous size, complexity, and changing specifications. The development of fast, easily modifiable software enables researchers to glean much additional information from existing data sets and rapidly test new analytical approaches.
We are the main support behind the mspire libraries, enabling programmatic access to a variety of mass spectrometry data. In particular, we offer:
- a unified interface offering random scan access to all versions of mzXML and the new mzML standard format.
- the only existing free & open source converter for Bioworks .srf files
- a universal converter from pepXML to the new mzIdentML standard
We are also currently working on:
- A dynamic, massively parallel data analysis pipeline, KatamariDotei ("clod identification").
- Integrates 4 different search engines (3 of which are free and/or open source).
- Utilizes Percolator's Support Vector Machines to distinguish genuine from spurious hits.
- Fast visualization of mass spectrometry data sets.

Here at Ecocentric we love dishing out greening tips, and this season's heat has got us in vacation mode. In fact, a lot of us are on vacation right now! So in the spirit of sustainability and summer fun, we have some tips to make your summer travels more environmentally friendly.
1. Eat locally and sustainably, wherever you roam
As legendary food blogger Elissa Altman recently pointed out, food deserts aren't limited to inner cities or rural areas, they line our highways, too. While it's encouraging to see that some airports are improving, it can be ridiculously hard to find good food while traveling. Eat Well Everywhere makes it easier. You can map your route and download a custom guide of sustainable food stores, farmers' markets, bed and breakfasts and more. Take some time to travel off the beaten path to visit a farm! Find stores to pack your cooler and restock it along the way.
2. Bring a (stainless steel) water bottle
Bottled water is plentiful (and pricey) at airports and rest stops, but don't forget there are water fountains too! To avoid BPA, choose stainless steel models like those offered by Klean Kanteen. You will save a bunch of money, and won't create a bunch of plastic waste!
3. Green your ride
The thrill of flying solo down the open road may beckon, but unless you're driving a plug-in hybrid (and even then, you can do better carpooling!) driving is not among your greener travel options. In general, here's how they break down, in order of greenest to not: biking, freight ship, freight train (unfortunately, we cannot in good conscience recommend you hop a train or ship, though it does sound romantic), plug-in hybrid, motorcycle, passenger train, airplane, bus, car and last but not least -- no surprise here -- SUV. Obviously, sometimes you have to drive, or fly, or take a bus. Do your best by carpooling, making sure your car is running efficiently and considering all your options.
4. Stay somewhere green
Hotels are becoming more and more concerned with their environmental impact and are making efforts to conserve as much as possible, encouraging guests to use the same towel which reduces water and energy use for the building. Your best bet is to stay at an Ecolodge or campground. Ecolodges are more frequently found internationally, but there are some within the continental US. You can also opt to stay at a place where you can buy food and cook for yourself.
5. Choose a "staycation"
Traveling can be stressful – and expensive – so sometimes there's nothing better than enjoying your hometown and seeing it in a whole new light. Read a book, go to a museum or frequent a local food purveyor and help stimulate your local economy. Keep your carbon footprint down, save yourself some hard-earned cash and make some relaxing memories right there at home – you might find some new favorite spots!
6. Choose eco-friendly activities
Go to a national park or a beach, or volunteer at a farm. You might even get some produce to take with you! These activities allow you to tread lightly on the Earth while keeping your costs at a minimum.
7. If you choose to drive, make sure your car has been maintained
Make sure your tires have been properly inflated and that your car is running efficiently so that you aren't using more fuel than necessary. Use Better World Club, an environmentally friendly roadside assistance program for tips and advice.
8. Patronize local businesses
Use your dollars to support local economies by choosing small businesses over big box chain stores. Summer destinations often count on this income to survive the rest of the year. Take a tour at a localbrewery or winery or seek out a sustainable restaurant.

Goldstone's Legacy for Israel
By Naomi Klein - January 28th, 2011
Published in
The Nation
This essay is adapted from the introduction to
The Goldstone Report: The Legacy of the Landmark Investigation of the Gaza Conflict
(Nation Books)
A sprawling crime scene. That is what Gaza felt like when I visited in the summer of 2009, six months after the Israeli attack. Evidence of criminality was everywhere—the homes and schools that lay in rubble, the walls burned pitch black by white phosphorus, the children's bodies still unhealed for lack of medical care. But where were the police? Who was documenting these crimes, interviewing the witnesses, protecting the evidence from tampering?
For months it seemed that there would be no investigation. Many Gazans I met on that trip appeared as traumatized by the absence of an international investigation as by the attacks. They explained that even in the darkest days of the Israeli onslaught, they had comforted themselves with the belief that, this time, Israel had gone too far. Mona al-Shawa, head of the Women's Unit at the Palestinian Centre for Human Rights, told me that Gazans took great solace from news of pro-Palestinian protesters filling the streets of London and Toronto. "People called it war crimes," she recalled. "We felt we were not alone in the world." It seemed to follow from these expressions of outrage that there would be serious consequences for the attacks—criminal trials for the perpetrators, sentences. And under the glare of international investigation, Israel would surely have to lift the brutal embargo that had kept Gaza sealed off from the world since Hamas came to power. Those who really dared to dream convinced themselves that, out of the lawlessness and carnage, a just peace would emerge at last.
But six months later, an almost unbearable realization had set in: the cavalry wasn't coming. Despite all the righteous indignation, Israel had not been forced to change its behavior in any way. Gaza's borders were still sealed, only now the blockade was keeping out desperately needed rebuilding supplies in addition to many necessities of life. (It would take Israel's lethal attack last year on a humanitarian aid flotilla for a debate about the siege to begin in earnest.) Even worse, the people I met were acutely aware that they could find themselves trapped under Israeli air bombardment again tomorrow, for any arbitrary excuse of Israel's choosing. The message sent by the paralysis of the international legal system was terrifying: Israel enjoyed complete impunity. There was no recourse.
Then, out of nowhere, a representative of the law showed up. His name was Justice Richard Goldstone, and he was leading a fact-finding mission for the United Nations. His mandate was to assess whether war crimes had been committed in the context of the attack. I happened to be in Gaza City when Justice Goldstone was wrapping up his public hearings and met several people who had testified before him, as well as others who had opened their homes to the mission, showing the scars left by Israeli weapons and sharing photographs of family members killed in the attacks. Finally some light seemed to be shining on this rubble-choked strip of land. But it was faint, and many Gazans remained skeptical that justice would follow. If the attacks had failed to provoke action, they reasoned, what hope was there that words in a report would awaken the world? This caution, it turns out, was a wise form of self-preservation.

Redheaded Aussie Gives Us A Daily Dose of Lingerie
Australian fashion model Tiah Eckhardt launched a new Tumblr a couple weeks ago that provides followers with a glimpse into her collection of unbelievably sexy undergarments.
The blue-eyed redhead… just typing that seems surreal… named the site, "The Daily Knicker", which many Americans might think features Melo, Linsanity, and Stat, but is actually way hotter (and more reliable).
Each pic is accompanied with a description, so fashion types can take note while we visually driven neanderthals dote.
Even with our distaste for reading, we still find ourselves rooting for certain ensembles once we get the backstory.

Top It Bars
Once a month we do an entrée and a toppings bar. It can be done with wraps, Chinese stir-fry or baked potatoes. We set up two buffet tables and students and staff top off the entrée with items from the bar. We will have all kinds of vegetables and toppings on the bar. It makes things easy on production and it's a way for students to customize their meals.

Springfield College Sports Information
SPRINGFIELD, Mass. - MIT improved to 4-0 in the NEWMAC and 15-1 overall following its 30-28, 30-25, 30-22 victory over Springfield College on Tuesday night. The Engineers, winners of 11 straight matches, join Wellesley College and the U.S. Coast Guard Academy as the only undefeated teams in the conference.
Behind the serving of Jessica Baldwin, Springfield (10-5, 2-2 NEWMAC) raced out to a 7-0 lead in the opening game. The Pride's advantage grew to nine (18-9) following a kill by Lindsay Marone. MIT responded by slowly chipping away at the deficit and eventually tying the game at 25. The Engineers capped off their run with a strike by Katrina Ellison to take the victory.
The second stanza was a back-and-forth affair from the first serve. With the score tied at eight, solid defense by MIT helped it establish a 21-16 edge. Consecutive kills from Katie Rowe and Jenny Li sealed the game for the Engineers.
MIT jumped out to a quick lead in the final frame, with its margin extending to as many as 10 points. The Pride narrowed the gap to five (27-22) following an error by the Engineers. The late rally ended with Springfield falling victim to its own hitting miscues.
Li notched a match-high 13 kills as Rowe posted eight kills and three blocks. Rose Zhong and Carrie Buchanan paced the defense with 13 digs apiece while Lindsay Hunting contributed 11 digs. Amanda Morris finished the night with 29 assists and three aces.

A good night's sleep is vital for anyone to feel human. Since a really low point last year my sleep is often disrupted. This can be for many reasons... pain is a major one (I can wake up in the middle of the night feeling in agony for no reason) and having things on my mind is another. Its often the case that if you are feeling a bit stressed you always seem to worry about things at bed time, when there is nothing you can do about. I am one of those people who do this. I overthink things and toss and turn all night until I've solved the problem in my head.
Sleep is a luxury I am extremely fond of, whether it be night or day. I have got into the pattern of waking around 6am every day when my body can't stay still anymore. It's really frustrating because at that time you can't really do anything apart from drink tea and watch the news. But by 10am I am shattered again and want to go back to sleep! What is that about?! My body clock is all off and I need to get it in check. I spend most of the day feeling exhausted but I get through it and then as I curl up in bed it's like a light bulb goes off in my head and I'm wide awake. How bloody annoying. The thing is on those nights I find it quite calming and peaceful to sit and write, scour the internet or read. It's strange that late at night I don't feel alone in my sleepless frustration. I feel comforted that my family are all tucked up in bed and as the painkillers kick in and sleep drifts into my mind I am incredibly relaxed.
It's a shame I don't feel so comforted in the day time when I am exhausted. Then I feel alone and awkward, not really knowing what to do with myself and I am often without company as my family and friends are out working. I look forward to the calm, silent nights where my thoughts seem to make sense and I am allowed to drift in and out of sleep (which seems like a crime during the day).
Maybe I am becoming nocturnal or something, God forbid. I don't want to get into the habit of sleep during the day because it will be incredibly hard to break this habit when returning to work. Or maybe I could do nightshifts!
Good news I have received today is that my anaemia has subsided and I can dismiss two tablets from my daily collection. However, disease activity is still high and my Methotrexate injection dosage is going to be increased. My hamster face will also be sticking around as I have to stay on the steroids for a few more months and gradually reduce them (hopefully my swollen face and chunk of a body will reduce too ;)

Gov. Bruce Rauner has fired the first salvos in a campaign to turn Illinois into a right-to-work state. Like other right-to-work advocates, he bases his argument on claims that this will strengthen the state's economy and raise its standard of living. Does he have a case?
Not so's you'd notice.
Almost half of all U.S. states — 24 of them — have laws on right-to-work, or RTW, which means that workers in a unionized business don't have to join that union or pay its dues. Economically, these states are all over the map, some doing fine, others poorly, some with low unemployment, others with high unemployment, some in debt and others in surplus.
Some of these states have...

The European Commission has proposed to establish a mechanism for screening foreign direct investment into the EU. The new screening mechanism will streamline EU policies when foreign investors acquire strategic assets in the EU.
A common EU approach on investment
The EU has one of the most open and liberal investment regimes in the world. Foreign direct investments (FDI) are worth about 36% of the wealth produced annually by the EU and the basis for 7.6 million jobs. FDI is therefore fundamental for ensuring the general welfare of EU member states.
In December 2009, the EU concluded the Lisbon Treaty. Consequently, the EU obtained exclusive competence with regards to FDI. It follows from article 3 (1) (e) and article 207 (1) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU) that FDI has become part of the common commercial policy. The EU has subsequently taken several initiatives relating to EU's external policy on foreign investments, for example by the conclusion of new trade and investment treaties. More recently, the EU Commission has prioritized EU's internal investment policy for attracting investments into the EU.
The EU proposal for an investment screening mechanism
For years, the EU has been a leading destination of FDI. However, foreign investors sometimes seek to acquire strategic assets which potentially allow investors to control European companies that operate in security and public order sectors. It follows from article 3 (1) TFEU EU that member states can adopt screening mechanisms for FDI, if they wish to do so. Several EU member states, including Denmark, have already set up national screening mechanisms. However, their scope and design vary largely.
On 13 September, the EU Commission proposed a new legal framework for screening of FDI on grounds of security or public order. This includes, for example, activities relating to the operation or provision of critical technologies, infrastructure, energy or information.
The proposed regulation includes:
- A European framework for screening FDI by member states on grounds of security or public order
- A cooperation mechanism between member states and the Commission
- A European Commission screening mechanism for FDI which affect projects or programmes of Union interest
Security and public order screening The proposed regulation provides a non-exhaustive list of factors to be taken into consideration when screening FDI on the grounds of security or public order (article 4). For example, member states and the Commission are required to consider the effects on critical infrastructure, technologies, and inputs which are essential for security or the maintenance of public order. Furthermore, it should be taken into account whether a foreign investor is controlled directly or indirectly by a government of a third country, including through significant funding. More generally, the proposal sets forth transparency obligations, the rule of equal treatment among foreign investment of different origin, and the obligation to ensure redress possibilities for decisions adopted under the screening mechanisms.
The cooperation mechanism The proposed regulation establishes a cooperation mechanism between member states and the Commission (article 8). The cooperation mechanism obliges member states to inform the Commission and the other member states of FDI undergoing national screening. Member states are required to await the opinion by the EU Commission before making a final decision.
EU projects and programmes The proposal also contains an EU screening mechanism concerning FDI which affects EU projects or programmes (article 3). An indicative list of projects and programmes is included in Annex 1 to the proposed regulation. This includes projects and programmes in the areas of research (Horizon 2020), space (Galileo), transport (Trans-European Networks for Transport, TEN-T), energy (TEN-E) and telecommunications.
Streamlining EU inward investment of EU concern
The proposal does not establish a requirement for member states to adopt or maintain screening mechanisms. Rather, the aim of the proposed regulation is to enhance transparency by streamlining investments of particular interest to the EU as a whole. The regulation establishes a qualifying framework for member states and ensures that screening mechanisms meet certain basic requirements.

Emergency Procedures
An emergency kit containing various bandages, a flashlight, and fresh batteries is located behind the circulation desk.
5.01 Medical
In case of a medical emergency call 911.
5.02 Tornado
A tornado WATCH is declared when conditions are favorable for tornadoes but none have been sighted. A tornado WARNING is declared when a tornado has been sighted in the area. The city's tornado siren will be activated. (The siren sounds like the fire siren, but will sound for a full 3 minutes without stopping.) When the tornado siren sounds:
1. The librarian in charge will notify patrons over the intercom, "A tornado warning is in effect for the Kalona area. This means that a tornado has been sighted. Please move into the restrooms until the all clear signal is received."
2. Take the battery radio and flashlight
3. Go to the restrooms and wait for the all clear signal.
5.03 Snow Storm
The director must use her/his best judgment about opening the library after a snow storm.
1. If it is possible to make it in and stores in town are open, then open.
2. If a storm starts during the day, stay tuned to news reports and close early if the weather advisory recommends people don't drive. Put the CLOSED sign on front door.
3. The director or librarian in charge should notify the following news stations: KCII: 1380 AM, 106.1 FM (319-653-2113 Washington; kciiradio.com); KCRG-TV9 (1-800-332-5443 Cedar Rapids; kcrg.com); and KGAN-TV2 (319-395-9060 Cedar Rapids; kgan.com)
5.04 Fire
Upon discovery of a fire, sound the alarm by pulling the nearest fire alarm ("Push In-Pull Down"). (If the fire is in its early stages, such as a trash can or a small pile of paper, use the nearest extinguisher.)
1. The librarian in charge will make an announcement over the intercom, "This is an emergency. Please use the nearest exit to evacuate the building and make your way to the Rec. Center parking lot for safety."
2. If possible, the librarian in charge should try to close the door to the burning area to confine the fire and minimize the spread of smoke.
3. The librarian in charge should make an effort to see that everyone leaves, directing staff and patrons to exit the building as quickly as possible. Gather staff and patrons in the Rec. Center parking lot. Do not return to the building for any reason until approval is given by the Fire Department.
Fire extinguishers are checked every year by the Fire Department, and serviced every three years.
5.05 Building Mechanics
Water Emergency:
1. Sinks: Stop the flow of water by turning off the water valves under the sinks. Use the water valve key stored with "keys."
2. Toilets: Stop the flow of water by loosening the battery pack with an allyn wrench (found in the tool drawer.) Place an "Out of Order" sign on the stall and give the information to the custodian.
All staff should know the location of all shutoffs, breakers, fire extinguishers, alarms, and exits. (see floor plan)
This policy will be reviewed and discussed annually with the staff.

Over-the-counter medications also may be be dropped off, 'no questions asked'
A local collaboration is working to keep medicines out of the hands of potential abusers, while protecting the environment, by providing a drop-off site in Belding.
The Belding Police Department, in partnership with the Ionia County Substance Abuse Initiative (ICSAI) and Ionia County Environmental Health Division, has installed a prescription drug drop box at the Belding Police Department, which is available for use by the entire community. The department is located at 120 S. Pleasant St. Items can be dropped off Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Residents can deposit unused or expired prescriptions and over-the-counter medications – no questions asked, said County Community Health Director Debra Thalison. No liquids or needles will be accepted.
"This program not only helps to protect the environment, it can also deter the usage of prescription drugs by unintended parties - including young people facing peer pressure and new ways to get high," she said.
More Michigan residents are dying from prescription drug abuse than from use of heroin and cocaine combined, and more than 2,500 young people in the U.S. abuse medicine for the first time every day, according to the Ionia County Health Department. In addition, unsafe disposal of prescription and over-the-counter medications is costly to the environment.
Residents have approached Belding Chief of Police Dale Nelson in the past to ask how they can dispose of old medications, because they want to do the right thing, he said.
"We all have old prescription meds in our cabinets," said Nelson. "Many times, these meds are sought out for street value. People try to be as cautious as they can, but they don't always have an avenue to (get rid of the medications safely)."
Throwing out medications in the trash, where they end up in landfills, or flushing them down the toilet are "not a recommended way" to dispose of the unwanted medications, Nelson added.
"Depositing them into the sewage system by flushing them down the toilet has adverse effect on the system and causes collateral problems," said Nelson. "When we take possession, we have a method of disposing of the medications in bulk."
An additional prescription drug drop box disposal will be available in Ionia over the next few weeks, Thalison said.

Arlington, Texas 76017
In cases where rampant cavities, periodontal disease, malnutrition or reactions to certain drugs are evident, it can be necessary to extract all remaining upper and lower teeth and provide the patient with dentures. Immediate dentures are placed the same day that your natural teeth are removed. When a patient has teeth extracted and dentures placed, they will have some initial swelling and then shrinking of the gums over for the next 8-10 months as they heal. During the healing process we will see you for a series of appointments for adjustments and soft liners until your healing is complete. At that point, the final touches are put on your dentures for the best fit possible.Read More
Full replacement dentures are available to those patients who have worn or are currently wearing dentures and who have no natural teeth. Whether you are replacing your older set of dentures, needing a back-up set or just want to update your smile, we have several different qualities and grades of dentures to fit every budget. All of our dentures come with a warranty and all are made using time-tested techniques right here in our on-site labs.Read More
In qualified candidates, a dental implant can act as a replacement tooth root placed into your jaw. Dental implants can provide a strong foundation for fixed (permanent) or removable dental prosthetics. Dental implants can support everything from a single tooth crown to a fixed bridge (multiple crowns) to removable dentures. Implants also aid in preventing jaw bone loss.Read More
We make every reasonable attempt to save your teeth. Unfortunately, in some cases if a tooth is broken, cracked, extensively decayed or showing advanced stages of periodontal disease, it may be necessary to remove the tooth to restore and maintain optimum oral health. We will make every reasonable effort to explore and inform you of all options before performing any extractions.Read More
A crown is generally a tooth-shaped cap that covers all or part of a diseased or broken tooth. A crown will be similar to your natural teeth in terms of color and strength. It is made to blend well with your other teeth. Bridges are essentially multiple crowns in a series.Read More
At an all-inclusive price of $17,000* per arch plus the cost of extractions, a Fixed Hybrid, the technical term for the DDS All-In-One Solutionsm, uses a titanium/acrylic base with the acrylic teeth to provide a long lasting smile that will lock into place. In fact, once these are locked in, only your dentist can remove them so there is no worry that it will pop out at the most inopportune time. While a temporary smile can be placed in a day, the fixed hybrid will take multiple appointments and follow-up lasting up to a year. However, the results are life-changing! Call today to learn more.
*Other promotions and discounts do not apply.
DDS Dentures + Implant Solutions has been a leader in general dentistry for more than a quarter of a century. We pride ourselves on offering high-quality, accessible general dental care that is very reasonably priced. Dentures are a large portion of our services rendered and can be produced in as little as one day. Our robust business model has allowed us to grow to over 30 locations in 5 states.

Law-enforcement officers meet every so often in an abandoned warehouse in south Durango to train for the unthinkable a mass shooting inside a school.
Officers stand before a large video screen about 10 feet tall and 14 feet wide. A dispatchers voice is heard over booming speakers.
All units, all units, be advised to report to (inaudible) Middle School. There is an active shooting in progress. Report of one, possibly two shooters.
An image appears on screen showing the inside of a school. Kids run for safety, a fire alarm is blaring and gunshots can be heard.
Sgt. Charles Hamby with the La Plata County Sheriffs Office raises his weapon a handgun with the same weight and feel as a 9mm Glock that has been retrofitted with a light device.
The video takes the officer inside the school cafeteria where he sees a man with a high-powered rifle and a bullet-proof vest. He yells for the man to drop his weapon. The man moves his gun toward the deputy, and Hamby shoots the suspect.
The video ends, and Hamby explains his actions to Lt. Keith Cramer, who is operating the video system.
With the siren going and all that, it becomes pretty chaotic, Cramer said. Youve got these kids running by you. It really amps some people up, and a couple of officers get pretty emotionally involved in it.
If Hamby didnt shoot the suspect, the scenario would have ended with the suspect shooting Hamby. In other scenarios, it is less clear whether the person with a gun is a suspect or a fellow law-enforcement officer. They learn the importance of yelling who they are to identify themselves to other officers. Sometimes it is unclear if the suspect is armed he could be fumbling around in his pocket for something, and the officer has to make a split-second decision.
It is something you cant take lightly, Cramer said. You cant be Wild Bill Hickok and start shooting everything. You have to use common sense, and if you dont, there are repercussions for that.
Hamby said training on the machine helps eliminate tunnel vision, the loss of peripheral vision that can occur during tense moments.
Anything that makes you think, and scenarios that you would possibly deal with, youre going to benefit from, he said.
Dozens of scenarios can be played out on the Firearms Training Simulator, which cost about $50,000 and is jointly owned by law-enforcement agencies throughout Southwest Colorado.
The machine provides one of the most realistic virtual experiences of responding to an actual shooting, said David Griggs, undersheriff with the Sheriffs Office.
The system also has a nighttime mode, which allows officers to use a fake flashlight to illuminate a portion of the screen, similar to what would be seen at night.
The machine used to shoot pellets at officers during certain scenarios, but that function no longer works.

|Love Pink and Green!
Of course, old habits die hard and the sun (and a really hot an sweaty 8 miler) made me crave the hammock with an icy gin and tonic in hand.
Instead, I made a mocktail. Not my usual lime and tonic water on ice. I was laying on the hammock looking at all of the wild Sitka Rose bushes in my 'yard.' Thinking about that one gin that is distilled with roses? Then I thought, gosh a Pimm's soda would be awesome. Except I don't have Pimms. But I do have lots of cucumbers in my greenhouse! Here's what I made up. I'm sure a shot of Gin would only enhance the peppery coolness, if you are so inclined.
Cucumber Rose Mocktail
3-4 Cucumber slices
2 Tbs Rose Petals (fresh is key- remember darker petals have more flavor)
Good Quality Natural Tonic Water (or seltzer and supplement with honey/stevia)
Lots of ice
Cold Glass
Pour over chilled glass of ice.
Enjoy your marvelous summer day.
Summer afternoon; to me those have always been the two most beautiful words in the English language. ~Henry James

Difference between revisions of "PTOptimizer"
m (1 revision(s))
m (5 revision(s))
(No difference)
Revision as of 21:33, 13 July 2006
PTOptimizer was originally created by Helmut Dersch as part of Panorama Tools, it is a simple wrapper program around control point optimization routines present in the pano12 library.
Source code for the original PTOptimizer was never released, however reconstruction was quite straightforward and a multi-platform version is now included with the pano12 library available at Sourceforge.
The updated original example script with lots of comments is found at Jim Watter's page

Sarah's birthday was on St. Patrick's Day, and I made a scarf for her – a simple little piece with a fabulously colorful yarn.
The Typha scarf is supposed to be about 2-times this size. I actually saw the modeled sample that was sent to Knitscene at Christa's (the designer) house when I stayed with her in Vancouver in 2010. She was blocking it on the living room floor. Loved the pattern and vowed to make it. The one I made for my sister is a mini version. I really wanted to use this unique yarn (Creatively Dyed Yarns Woodbrook in "Flash"). It was only 250 yards though, so there was no more yarn for the pretty crochet border in the original pattern. Probably for the best considering that my crochet skills are sub-par.
I have had a lot of starts and stops in knitting lately. Start something new, and then rip it out. I just couldn't find something that was simple enough to do while unwinding and enjoying my down time. My creative stores are going to my writing, cooking, and gardening. So, knitting garter and stockinette is just the kind of thing I crave right now. I cast on for a lace shawl this past weekend, and didn't even make it 2 rows… luckily, I love the look of simplicity.
Kris and I went down to Virginia this weekend to visit my sisters – Mimi moved here at the beginning of the year from California, and I take every opportunity I can to get down to see her and the nieces. Baby V is now Toddler V at 2.5, and Baby Lulu turns 5 months tomorrow:
Sarah and I are probably the craziest aunties ever. All we want to do is play and kiss these cuties! (We need these t-shirts, eh?)
…and of course, I want to clothe them in knits too…
Since Lulu is 2 years younger than V (and born in the same season), I am concentrating on knits for V now – that means that they will get double the wear. This little stripey pattern is a simple tunic tank for the summer. I am using Debbie Bliss EcoBaby Fairtrade Cotton that I found at a new yarn shop in my area.

Hello scooter domain, I do think i received the correct oil. The gear case oil was red in color. I would also like to thank you folks very much for all the help and support you gave me on this project. I have been telling everyone I know just how helpful you folks were. It is nice to know that there is still some people out there that are willing to go the extra mile and try to help out. I also appreciate the e-mail about the oil.

Once again thank you for all your help,and I know where I will be getting my parts for any more projects.( Jordan was a BIG help so please tell him THANK YOU !! ) Sincerely,

and side rails were in perfect condition. They just needed to be reupholstered. We took measurements, since antique beds are never the size of contemporary mattresses, and we debated alternatives for mattress solutions for about two weeks. Finally, we couldn't stand waiting anymore...we just went ahead and bought the beds!
Jack removed hundreds of these tacks - not easy prying them out of hardwood.
We had found this lovely striped toile at La Foire aux Tissues (Fabric Fair), a shop about 15 minutes from our house.
I was able to reupholster the head and footboards right over the original horsehair padding, which was still in great shape.
Even with an electric staple gun, it was a challenge working with such hard wood.
Gluing gimp over the staples. (I had brought two bottles of fabric glue from the US).
Our solution to the mattress problem?
We ended up buying two double size mattresses, cutting them open, cutting down the foam inside,
and resewing them closed. These beds are actually extra-large twins - almost double bed size.
Apparently beds back in the day were not standard sizes, the way they are now.
Jack hanging the ciel-de-lit (one of two antiques we had found at the beginning of our trip),
on a very off-kilter wall - while I stood back, trying to figure out what "looked centered".
For the ciel-de-lit, we first upholstered the top inside.
Then I hung the drapes, which I had sewn out of a wonderful two-sided & double-width quilted fabric that Jack had
fallen in love with. The fabric was so heavy, Jack had to hold it up for me, while I worked.
One of the "odd, yet charming" features to this room is that the back wall, is not straight. It runs to the corner at an alarmingly distinct angle,
making it hard to center anything on it - especially the placement of the ciel-de-lit drapery. Our original calculations
ended up feeling wrong, so despite the fact that the whole thing was incredibly heavy, Jack nicely rehung the ensemble,
to make it look like it was on center. It's just darn lucky he knows how to do rigging and tie knots, from his youth spent on sailboats!
I used the original window drapes from the guest room as a lining for the new fabric.
When the sun shines through first thing in the morning, it bathes the room in a beautiful coral glow.
Hanging the window drapery.
We had brought with us lots of fabrics, including this rather worn French bedding we had
used in our old master bedroom. The quilt, having seen better days (and many times through the washing
machine) was no longer usable as a bed cover, so it became a tablecloth.
We finished the guest room by adding some antique lamps we found in nearby Pézenas,
and topping them with beautiful French toile shades, that I had actually been saving for years, for just the right spot.
It is traditional in French decorating, to mix fabric patterns, especially a variety of toiles in the
same color family. We combined new fabrics with old ones we had brought with us.
I found this darling pillow at Jolie Marché, on Etsy.
Finished for now...
The first thing I want to do when we go back to Montagnac in the Fall, is to find candlesticks
for the mantles, pictures for the walls and knick-knacks to make the bedrooms look and feel homey.
Next on the agenda after that - reupholster these two chairs.

I had the initial D already done but I personalised it by painting a small portrait of Mistress Katheryn in it, wearing her German ren garb holding "thingy".
Done on pergamenata, I used Rohrer & Klingner eisen gallus tinte Salix which gives a lovely faded blue hue which will eventually darken over time. Pens and brushes with ink and ink wash. It's a very simple and understated scroll but something I thought the recipient would like because we're always talking about different styles and making things to match the persona / person.
I wish the calligraphy were better but it was never my strong point so every single scroll I do takes me a step closer to getting better at it. I'm a firm believer in practice makes one better and since I swore I'd never touch calligraphy I guess I do okay at it. I like this style a lot and now that I have real calf parchment to play with I think I will try it again.

If legislation working its way through the Michigan Senate had been law last month, the world might never know the name and face of Donald Lawson — the 44-year-old father of two and self-described "hillbilly" from Lapeer who held court with the media on the day he claimed his prize for winning the $337 million in the Powerball lottery game.
While he wasn't at a loss for words in the spotlight, he nonetheless expressed reservations about being a part of the marketing machine.
"I'm an alone person. That's what I want to be. I don't like chaos, but I have to do it," he said.
The Senate could vote soon on a measure that would allow multistate lottery winners in Michigan like Lawson to remain anonymous. Supporters say winners should be allowed to keep their privacy, as they can for in-state lottery games, for their own safety.
A potential roadblock comes from the Michigan Lottery, which is concerned that people keeping mum about their moolah could lessen the state's ability to promote the Powerball and Mega Millions games, and that could hurt sales.
The Senate Fiscal Agency says the legislation, if enacted into law, would likely decrease press coverage and the promotional impact of prizes. That would indirectly reduce money going into the School Aid Fund. The lottery contributed more than $727 million to the fund during the last fiscal year.
Bill sponsor Tory Rocca, a Sterling Heights Republican, doesn't believe promotional concerns are valid. He said the real spike in sales comes as the drawings get larger — and he doesn't see Michigan Lottery billboards on the state's roadways with winners' faces. He sees "the gigantic number that shows how big the jackpot is."
"By their own actions, they're showing what they really believe is advertising the lottery and driving sales is the size of the jackpot," he said.
Lottery spokeswoman Andi Brancato said winners have been featured in so-called Winner Awareness marketing and promotion campaigns. But the real proof in the power of promotion, she said, is that Powerball sales in Michigan have increased 13 percent since Lawson claimed his prize.
Brancato said the majority of the 42 states and other jurisdictions that participate in the Powerball and Mega Millions do not have anonymity requirements, but rules and requirements differ on what and how much can be revealed.
She said Michigan releases the name and home city of its winners, but declined to be specific about other requirements, such as whether winners must appear at news conferences. She said there is no document winners sign requiring them to participate, but "what they are required to is at the discretion of the Lottery."
"We always want to be able to have the news event. We work very closely with the winners about the possibility," she said.
As for the legislation, Brancato said "we've shared our concerns" with lawmakers and will continue to do so. For every person desiring anonymity, she said, there are many more who want to see winners.
"You would really be surprised at the number of people who call us who say, 'There's never a winner,'" Brancato said. "People win, we pay prizes to them. It's important we're able to show that."
