more responses to ISA's dilemma
From Nels Tyring: Dan (Miklovic -ed.) has some very good points about ISA's business. Intech is a valued asset of service to the members although it is not a member benefit. I don't see a way to change that in the present structure on in Walt's suggestion.
Saving ISA...some responses
Dan Miklovic: I agree with the premise - ISA is UTIAIA . The suggested solutions may be one way to address it. However, since the members value InTech as the greatest benefit, losing editorial control could diminish that.
Next week's blog...
I am leaving on Sunday for Phoenix to attend Honeywell User Group 2005. I will, as usual, be blogging from the event. But in a "first" for both Honeywell and Putman Media, we've been asked by Honeywell to produce an email "Show Daily" from the event.
That's right, blame the victim!
This is only peripherally related to process automation, but it is intimately related to ControlGlobal.com and our efforts to expand our services to end-users by providing as email newsletters more stories and commentary than we can fit in the magazine.
What if ISA...
The biggest problem ISA leadership faces is the alligator problem. You know it..."It's hard to remember that your objective was to drain the swamp when you are up to your ass in alligators." I have a great deal of sympathy for Don Zee and the other members of the Executive...

_Inescapable Data_ has some very interesting points. Sometimes, though, they paint with a really broad brush...more Popular Science than Scientific American if you will. One such topic they get _almost_ right is RFID. They talk about RFID as a breakthrough technology, and differentiate it from bad old UPC barcodes as unique.
B&B surveys the wireless market
Gerald Niemi shared with me the results of a survey they ran on the B&B website in January of this year. I thought it would be interesting to share the results here, as well. 64% of respondents said that they had been researching wireless sensors for industrial monitoring.

About 2 days ago i posted my diet down there.. But i believe it was gino... or someone else told me have flexseed oil then olive oil.. Why?? i though olive oil was good monosaturated fat source... Is there special reason?
Omega 9 fatty acids(olive oil) are much different than Omega 3 fatty acids(flaxseed). Yeah, you heard me
By Peter Jaret
WebMD Medical News
May 19, 2000 -- Robert Vogel, MD, tested the effects of three different meals on a group of 10 volunteers who had normal cholesterol levels. One meal consisted of canola oil and bread. Another was olive oil and bread. The third meal was a piece of salmon. All three meals contained 50 grams of fat.
But their effect on blood vessels was very different. Before and again three hours after each meal, Vogel's team measured constriction of the volunteers' arteries. Sharp constriction can injure the inner lining of blood vessels, according to Vogel.
The arteries didn't constrict much after the salmon meal. After the meal containing canola oil, they constricted slightly, reducing blood flow by 11%. After the olive oil and bread combination, however, blood flow plummeted 34% -- exactly the effect that Vogel had seen in previous research after volunteers ate a Big Mac with fries.
The Hidden Culprit
Vogel believes the culprits in olive oil are the omega-9 fatty acids that make up most of the oil. These fatty acids seem to cause blood vessels to constrict. Omega-3 fatty acids, in contrast -- the same kind found in fish oil, and the ones added to canola oil -- don't appear to have this effect. What's that got to do with heart disease? "When
blood vessels constrict, their lining, called the endothelium, may be injured," says Vogel. "Repeated injuries can add up to a higher risk of coronary heart disease." What's more, in people with diabetes, which typically causes damage to blood vessel linings, the effect of olive oil could worsen an already dangerous condition, Vogel says.

THanks GINO!!! appreciate your reply!!
~~~~ TO THE HEALTH STORE!!! (to buy flexseed oil =_)
You're very welcome. Flax is good stuff.(although I still indulge in olive oil every now and then) Keep liquid flax refrigerated to preserve the Omega 3 effectiveness.
Thanks, i learned something too. i tought Olive oil was just as good as flax, but i guess i dont know everything after all
Omega 3 and Omega 6 are the ONLY essential fatty acids required by the body. I recently read about hemp seed oil, having Omega-3 20%, Omega-6 58%, and Omega-9 11% (GLA is 1-2%). Although, they warn that you should not consume it if you have to take drug tests where you work.
[Edited by Anthony on 01-30-2001 at 07:50 PM]
Facebook - BW166 SQ585 BP405 DL660 CL310
Flax seed oil is completely different than Canola oil right?
From reading that would you advise somebody to use canola over olive oil in their eggs?
Canola oil has SOME of flax's omega 3 fatty acid in it, but no where near as much. I wouldn't suggest adding ANY oil to eggs, but I guess if you must use one, use the canola...
sorry, my english isn't the greatest here, but from what i'm reading here, flaxseed oil is the best out of the bunch, canola is 2nd, and olive is 3rd?

Went to FirstGear DIY for first time. Went in to do just a tire rotation and lube job. Very impressed with all the tools and equipment they have to offer. Even though I didn't need many tools this time, Erik and Michael were very knowledgeable and helpful and answered questions about my next repair on my truck. It is a WARM, very clean and safe environment to do any vehicle project. Beats working out in an unheated garage. Rates are reasonable,and there is pride in working on your own vehicle. I'll be back. I'd rate this shop a '10 out of '10. You can be a complete novice in car repair, and not feel intimidated, because the staff makes you feel welcome. Craig,Apple Valley
They're great! Clean, well lit, comfortable work environment. All the tools you'll need. Great service. And they're willing to give you some free advice. I was a first timer, never done anything like work on my own car, and came out with nice new brakes and felt great about it. If you're interested in doing it yourself, even a little bit, try this!
Ive worked on
1989 BMW 525i
1990 BMW 525i
1991 BMW 318i
1987 BMW 325iS M50
1989 BMW 325iC
2000 VW Cabrio
1985 BMW 325E and a 1987 BMW 325E at first gear garage, they have all the tools needed for pretty much any job which, at least on these cars makes all the difference.
Erik and Travis (amongst others) are awesome guys, and they even jump in occasionally when you need a hand holding something.
the bays are well lit, very clean (although, I have a nickname there 'messmaker' they dont seem to mind)
rates are fair, 2 post lifts, impacts and all the sockets you can shake a stick at, its wonderful.
I've been in many, many times and I highly recommend you try it out if you havent already, working on your own car is not as hard as you may think ;)
-Erik Berger
Always wanted to do my own repair work but was limited by a lack of tools and repair space at home. First Gear is a great option for a do it yourselfer. The rear shocks needed replacement on our MDX. The dealer wanted over $500. I researched the repair online and First Gear offered a clean and safe environment to replace the shocks.
A complete complimate of tools, great conversation and meeting some like minded car people and saving money made for a great experience
I save a lot by using First Gear. In April I got a quote for $450 from the Chevy dealer to do a rear brake job on my 2006 Malibu. Instead I went to First Gear. They had the parts delivered (pads & rotors) for $95 and I did the work myself in about an hour. Total cost to me was $140. So I saved over $300. The have everything you need to do just about any repair. And wow, is the place nice.
I have taken two of my three work trucks there so far. The setting is perfect, clean, organized, HEATED and friendly. So far I have done brakes and ball joints. Money saved is around $500 so far but the best part is I was able to do the work myself. The money I have saved in the first two repairs will go towards my next repair. I can see being a frequent customer here. Great value for people willing to try auto repair.
I recently took my 2005 Acura RL in for a transmission fluid flush and tire rotation. When I arrived for my scheduled appointment, Erik had the tools necessary for the procedure ready & waiting. The facility was clean and very well organized.
Erik was extremely careful and respectful of my car and helped place it on the lift with care. The equipment was first rate and I was able to complete my task with ease. It was far safer & easier to do the work on the transmission at First Gear Garage than at home while saving significant money versus a dealership. The satisfaction of doing the entire job myself was quite gratifying.
If you are competent at wrenching, this is definitely the place for you. I'm sure I'll be back again.
Visited this remarkably clean facility to resolve an annoying exhaust leak on a Lexus RX300. I was able to schedule time in the facility easily and the guys were INCREDIBLY helpful, kind and patient with me during the repair process. They had all the tools necessary to perform the repair and were even able locate the necessary replacement parts at a local parts supplier.
Overall, I was extremely delighted with the facility. Not only did I save hundreds of dollars (compared to a dealership), but I also learned a lot which in itself is priceless.
This is a first-class outfit and definitely worth checking out. I will most certainly return again.
I took my car to a shop to get diagnosed and they quoted me $700 for a Catalytic Converter repair. The repair was stretching me financially, which most people can relate to when unexpected car repairs arise. I was told about First Gear and with the ASE Certified Tech's help, we found that the actual root cause of the Cat. failure was the coils misfiring and with those not repaired it would have cost me more to replace the Cat. again down the road. All of the repairs were completed in about 4 hours and cost me much less than any shop in town. I believe the education and friendly service I recieved was priceless. My car runs like a champ and I highly reccomend anyone who is in need of repairs to look into First Gear Garage and the ASE Certified Tech assistance before taking it to the regular shop. I want to thank Ben and Erik at First Gear Garage again and you have a customer for life. - Derek Wolf, Cadillac STS

At Mountain High
Suckers, our goal is to produce high quality
medical marijuana infused product. We test every
batch to ensure accurate dosage. Our product is
unique in that it offers a variety of the
cannabinoids, especially CBD.
One of the oldest
names in the game, Mountain High Suckers has
endured while so many infused product
manufacturers have shuttered for one reason: our
company keeps it simple. Our company makes
suckers, and fine ones at that, with an
exceptionally long shelf life. Not afraid to be
bold, we infuse spiciness, mango or even coconut
into treats, too. We're also a pioneer in the
CBD market, providing edibles that have less of
a psychoactive effect and yet still provide a
host of benefits, with anti-cancer properties
being aggressively researched—many call CBD the
"future of MMJ."

I have never seen a hermaphrodite pheasant before - I will look out for them in future! Your dogs are so well-trained not to gobble up all the bits they find. Our Border Terrier used to bring back dead rabbits and sit with them by the back door, very pleased with herself, but now she is older and can't catch things on her own. So you end up with a tug of war between the two, which I find too distressing, being a total petal, and usually end up in tears at the sight!ReplyDelete
Pomona x
Pomona - You and your border terrier are not alone...the shepherd lives by the 'finders keepers' rule and sneaks off to eat what she finds.ReplyDelete
And the cocker who carried her leg home - I could physically lift her off the ground still attached to the deer leg. She brings everything back but needs persuading to give it up.
Hello my dear. I did try and leave you a comment yesterday, not sure where in cyber space it has gone to. Lily has taken to guarding her tennis ball from the cats now. I can pick it up and take it from her no probs, but god help the cat if he so much as glances at the ball!!ReplyDelete
this was an interesting post (your life seems so much more interesting than mine, probably because it is), but I'm curious: why do the lambs need their tails docked?ReplyDelete
Jennifer, You've got me laughing out loud at the thought of your dog being airborn with leg bone firmly grasped. I don't know how guys can make such a mess out of so few items, it is truly mind boggling and quite perplexing. Glad you all were able to get done what needed doing. As for the chickens, yea I think I'd be a bit wigged out after looking up what all diseases "fowl" can and do get. Spooky.ReplyDelete
Colette - tennis balls are a valuable commidity her too. When podge finds one, she guards it, to the point of putting it in her food bowl when she's eating, and eating around it so the others can't take it. When you're small you have to be clever!ReplyDelete
Paula - I don't think it's mandatory. Some smallholders leave tails on. Most people dock them to help keep sheeps' backsides clean and prevent flystrike. Flies lay their eggs in dung stuck to the wool. If not checked, the maggots burrow into the sheep which can be both fatal and disgusting.
There are lots of chemical treatments, but you can keep the back end clipped and free of dung to help prevent it. This is harder to do under a long tail. Our sheep actually came with the ring already on.
Terry - I don't think our lot are as well trained as Jet. You know the hazards of more than one dog, they pick up each other's bad habits.ReplyDelete
Jen -- I'm with Paula. Your life is just way more interesting than mine. A fossil, a hermaphrodite, and fallow deer legs all in one day. And I thought my day was exciting because we tasted our dandelion wine! Sigh ...ReplyDelete
Tamar - I will swap you home made dandelion wine for all the deer legs you want, and throw in the hermaphrodite pheasant too. I am rubbish at wine making, mine tastes like paint thinner with a hint of raisinsReplyDelete

I guess not too late into the autum / winter as you don't want the frost to get at them.
I do mine in the spring.
I used to do mine as soon as they finished fruiiting as it made it easier to tie in the new ones
Ours have just finished fruiting so we will prune as soon as we come back from holiday in a couple of weeks. Makes the new ones easier to tie-in - leaving them until spring could encourage disease and pests. We've had a fantastic crop, have you?

Drilling square holes
The maker of the above video Jacques Maurel also wrote an article for Model Engineer a couple of years back. The article outlines a home made square drill using a tool shaped as a Reuleaux rotor.
Jacques article includes how to machine the rotor, jigs for making the parts, grinding the tool and how to make the floating chuck. The floating chuck is based on an oldham coupling and can also be used for reamers and tapping. As seen the first video the solution works well and can produce blind square holes.
Model Engineer magazine issue N°4285 oct /nov 2006
Also see article by Mr Parkes in Model Engineer N°112
Applications of shapes of constant width by John Bryant and Chris Sangwin
Floating chuck and square drills

Vika (CH)
An alternative solution to producing a square hole is to use a broach which are good for though holes, keyways and even internal gears.
Michael Cox has written an interesting article for Model Engineer #185 (Jan 2012) where he has a free running rotary broach that works by being just a couple of degrees off of perpendicular to the lathe axis. It uses a single ball bearing as a thrust bearing based on Edgar Westbury's rotating centre design.

Just spotted that Hemingway Kits now do a floating reamer holder which would make one of the more complex parts of Jacques project a little easier.

The skeptics over at hobby-machnist have suggested that this is a rotary broaching operation rather than a drilling operation. Here's a site with closes up of the end of the square drill that shows you that it's cutting process not broaching. However they are correct in thinking that the corners of the holes will be slightly rounded.

Another alternative would be to use a completely different machine for this. The Shaper is spot on for this and would make the job look easy. Dave Gingery's book The Metal Shaper shows you how to make them.

Have you also considered looking into Rotary Broaching? See the tools and videos at: http://www.polygonsolutions.com

Thanks for the link, I wonder if it would be possible to make a rotary broach from an old hammer drill?

Academics v Industry
I found Colin's blog today.1 And then I found this post essentially asking, for not the first time, whether the academic community has "lost its way" because we don't invent things that people use anymore2
This isn't a complete thought, but I was reflecting on this a month or so ago as I tried (not for the first time) to separate what I do at my desk every day (or most days) from what colleagues and friends that I know that work at Microsoft, Facebook, Google or even smaller outfits like Sentilla do at their desks every day. What makes what I do "research" as opposed to what they do ("work")?
To me at least it seems that the clearest separation emerges from considering the role of the "consumer". To put it simply, I think that the job of someone working at Microsoft is to do what consumers want. That doesn't mean always giving them what they want, since you can certainly lead the market and people aren't always good at describing or predicting what technology or design will really please them. But that should still be at the front of your mind. It probably isn't for most engineers that aren't customer-facing, but someone else is there or there's some structure encouraging them to pay attention to these things.
Me? I don't think much about consumers. At all, really. Not about "consumers", per se. To avoid getting into trouble, I should be fairly specific here. I think a lot about the goals and desires of the people that are using my contributions. Are these users "consumers"? You might be able to make the case that they are, but it seems different to me somehow. Maybe because we interact differently? I don't really know.
OK, this rapidly morphed from a "deep thought" to a "I have no idea what I'm talking about" post. Wow. Sometimes its good to get these things out onto paper, just to find out how little sense you make once they get there. Sheesh.
- 1. Which I'll start reading along with a few new additions: Successful Researcher, A Gentleman's C, and FemaleScienceProfessor. [↩]

Lee, Lai Soon (2008) A Genetic Algorithm for Two-Dimensional Bin Packing Problem. Math Digest : Research Bulletin Institute for Mathematical Research, 2 (1). pp. 34-39. ISSN 1985-2436
This paper considers a non-oriented twodimensional bin packing problem, where a set of small rectangles, which may be rotated by 90°, has to be allocated to one or more identical bins. A genetic algorithm (GA) hybridised with a heuristic placement routine is proposed to solve the problem. The algorithm employs an innovative crossover operator that considers a number of different children from each pair of parents. Comprehensive results are presented, and the algorithm is shown to be competitive when compared with other metaheuristic algorithms.

The number one problem I have with lipsticks is the lack of moisture it gives to my lips. Because of this, I usually stick to lip glosses. I noticed CoverGirl has a new line of lipsticks and was immediately attracted to the cute & sleek packaging. To my surprise, this drugstore lipstick exceeded my expectations. Not only is CoverGirl LipPerfection incredibly moisturizing, they offer a variety of gorgeous colors too!
Application for this lipstick goes on very smooth and creamy. Like I said before, maintaining moisture is the number one feature I look for in a lipstick, and that's what LipPerfection does! I have the colors "Temptress" and "Fairytale", which are pink/rosey colors (perfect for Spring/Summer!). I've received many compliments from people when I wear them, and they're ALL surprised to find out that it's a drugstore lipstick. :)
I've mentioned how CG typically uses "synthetics" in most of their products, and as much as I love the color and texture of this new lipstick line, that synthetic aspect comes strongly into play in one big area: taste. No, I don't eat lipstick, but inevitably you're going to wind up licking your lips or drinking through them, and that's when you're going to find this lipstick has a very strong, very powdery/plasticky taste. The best way I've found to limit this effect is to use a good lip liner all over my lips prior to the lipstick, and then use as little lipstick as possible to get the color you want (I use a spot and blend technique). The colors are VERY vibrant, so I do this anyway when I wear the very bold Tempt 355 to work. The other shade I bought, Sweetheart 390, is more of a shimmery nude so it needs a bit more to come across (btw, layering 355 under 390 creates an absolutely gorgeous combo). Hopefully I'll get used to the taste over time because I really do adore the color these give (very true to the shade on the tube but I recommend looking at CG online for an even better idea and their suggestions for your specific complexion). They also glide on like liquid silk and do seem to make my lips smoother even after I take the color off. Lasts several hours w/out liner, maybe a couple of more w/, and seem to actually stain the lips just a touch so even after it's worn off you still have a tint of color (maybe it's just me, though). Bought mine w/ a coupon at the grocery store though I wouldn't mind paying full-pop (~$6) as they are so nice in color and texture.
I have four of these lipsticks-Sultry 200, Romance 265, Divine 330 and Fairytale 405. I really like these lipsticks, there is a great range of colors. The wear time is average, about 4 hours. The texture is great and they aren't drying. I am definitely going to get more. I also love the packaging, it reminds me of Nyx Round Lipsticks with the color visible on the bottom of the tube. The tube itself is a shiny, light purple metal which looks nice.
I got this in Burn, Everlasting, and Precious. The formula is very rich and creamy, highly moisturizing, like a balm. The moisture lasts for hours even after the color fades, and the colors are very pigmented so they do last.
I am very impressed and happy with Burn, which is in the red category. It's a neutral red with undertones of brown and pink, and what looks like reddish golden bronze shimmer throughout. When I first applied it to my lips, it looked almost coppery red, but after a couple of minutes, it settled into a very pretty red flush with a pink hue. The bronze-gold shimmer was still there, but looked less coppery as time went on. It is definitely the most unique lipstick color I've ever worn.
Everlasting is in the mauve/burgundy category. I don't usually like mauve or burgundy colors, but Everlasting looks very natural, and it is also one of the most unique lipstick colors I've ever worn. It's a mix of red, pink, rose, and wine with shimmer. It looks extremely natural and soft on my lips, like a blush. It can be dark or bright depending on the light.
Precious, also in the mauve/burgundy category, has a lot of red and shimmer in it. I would call it a deep reddish pink. It looks extremely natural and very pretty against my pale skin.
Overall, the Lip Perfection lipsticks are absolutely amazing when it comes to feel and delivery; they act like lip balm and have the same feel as many department store brands. I do wish I liked more of their colors. Lip Perfection shades are so pigmented that most of them seem too intense.

Hands down the BEST drugstore lippies on the market. First let me say that I have not bought a drugstore lipsitck in over 10 years. I was skeptical but the word of mouth and the Drew Barrymore ads tweeked my interest. I am a bright lip wearing chic, I love my reds, hot pinks and orange lippies. My collection ranges from CHANEL in Paris (love), NARS in Funny Face (adore) and MAC in Vegas Volt (total rockstar)! So, I decided to dip my toes in CG Lip Perfection in FLAME (gorgeous) and Divine (just Divine). I love both colors equally. I purchased them at Walgreens buy 1 get one 50% off with RR so they were free! yay!
Flame is a tomato red Divine is a purplely pink both are gorgeous. These lippies are very hydrating, moisturizing and after a few hours they leave the most beautiful tint/stain on the lip. Ahhh, just gorgeous! I love the tint/stain these lippies leave. IMHO the stain is the cherry on top of the cake! You can either rock out the stain or smack on a gloss and WOW the look is fantastic!
I will be adding Spellbound, Hot and maybe a few others to my collection!
Way to go Cover Girl!
These are my favorite lipsticks. I prefer them to my Elizabeth Arden and Clinique lipsticks, and they make other brands like Revlon look terrible. I have three of these: Heavenly, Spellbound, and Hot Passion. The colours are very vibrant and don't easily come off or fade. They stain your lips, so you can eat or kiss or do whatever you want with only a little touchup required later. I also love the colour range, although I won't be buying any of the mettalic/shimmery ones (personal preference). Totally reccommend these.
I purchased Hot Passion (305) a few days ago and I absolutely love it. The color is a beautiful shade of red but I've found that one layer of it looks too pink (a rather unflattering neon pink), so if you're looking for a vibrant red I'd recommend two layers, maybe three. It stacks well so even if you were to put on a large amount it doesn't show, and as mentioned earlier it looks best if you do have multiple layers.
The color is long lasting and reapplications aren't needed frequently.
It does dry a little after thirty minutes but it's not too terribly bad, apply a little lip moisturizer and you're set.
I have a picture of it on my profile if you're interested. :)

I love these lipsticks. They're perfect for when you want some lasting coverage, but don't want to paint those very long lasting lip colors on.

More reviews by spearmintstars
I don't know why they say these are super moisturizing? I find them very dry and almost powdery. The colors are nice, and they are long-lasting, but they feel like a long-lasting lipstick...dry.

Review for Lip Perfection - Feline 385
(I didn't know how to add a separate review for this particular colour)
I used the site's colormatch system so I chose Feline amongst quite a lot of choices and I am glad I did. It is a beautiful pearly colour, well pigmented and goes well with my pale skin tone and dark blond hair; surely not a blah colour. If I wanted a blah colour, I would go without lipstick! It would say it is exactly a couple or so shades darker than my lips.
The taste doesn't bother me as it has a slightly soapy smell which is nice actually.
I often get disappointed with pinks or roses due to their small pigmentation but not this time. Cover girl makes a quality lipstick and I recommend this colour for those who like shiny true medium pinks (not too blue) and who are neutral fair skinned as this can go either warm or cool.

This year's competition started in Alicante, Spain in October and will conclude in June in St. Petersburg, Russia, when the boats will have traveled approximately 37,000 nautical miles, with stopovers in Cape Town, Kochi, Singapore, Qingdao, Rio de Janeiro, Boston, Galway, Goteborg and Stockholm.
For the first time in the 37-year history of the race, each boat carries an on-board videographer and a recently launched satellite communications service called Inmarsat FleetBroadband, which enables high-speed data transmission from across the world's oceans. With Fleetbroadband, the VOR's videographers are able to capture and transmit high-definition video shot during the race for use on broadcast TV and the web in near real time. Volvo Ocean Race CEO Knut Frostad will open the evening's event with an overview of the race. VOR videographers who have filmed and edited during the grueling race will be featured in a roundtable discussion, along with background on the technology.
The symposium is sponsored by the MIT Museum, The MIT Sea Grant College
Program, and Inmarsat. The symposium is free and open to the public.

Elucidating gene function involves determining the function of the encoded protein product. In the cell, proteins participate in extensive networks of protein-protein interactions that take the form of dynamic "protein machines", which assemble and disassemble in concert with an ever-changing influx of intra-, inter and extracellular cues. A preliminary step in understanding protein structure and function is to determine which proteins interact with each other, thereby identifying the relevant biological pathways. The pull-down technique has become an invaluable tool for the life scientist interested in studying cellular pathways via protein-protein interactions.

Protein Interaction
Technical Handbook
The pull-down assay is an in vitro method used to determine a physical interaction between two or more proteins. Pull-down assays are useful for both confirming the existence of a protein-protein interaction predicted by other research techniques (e.g., co-immunoprecipitation) and as an initial screening assay for identifying previously unknown protein-protein interactions.
Pull-down assays are a form of affinity purification and are similar to immunoprecipitation, except that a "bait" protein is used instead of an antibody. Affinity chromatography (i.e., affinity purification) methodologies greatly enhance the speed and efficiency of protein purification and simultaneously provide the technology platform to perform a pull-down, or co-purification, of potential binding partners. In a pull-down assay, a bait protein is tagged and captured on an immobilized affinity ligand specific for the tag, thereby generating a "secondary affinity support"' for purifying other proteins that interact with the bait protein. The secondary affinity support of immobilized bait is then incubated with a protein source that contains putative "prey" proteins, such as a cell lysate. The source of prey protein at this step depends on whether the researcher is confirming a previously suspected protein-protein interaction or identifying an unknown interaction. The method of protein elution depends on the affinity ligand and ranges from using competitive analytes to low pH or reducing buffers.
Besides investigating the interaction of two or more proteins, pull-down assays are a powerful tool to detect the activation status of specific proteins. For example, proteins that are activated in response to tyrosine phosphorylation can be pulled down using an immobilized SH2 domain that targets the phosphorylated tyrosine on a given protein. Additionally, GTPases, which act as molecular switches that regulate cell signaling by cycling between a GTP-bound (active) and GDP-bound (inactive) state, can be pulled down using an immobilized GTPase-binding domain of downstream proteins that are recruited to GTP-bound, activated GTPases. In both types of pull-down assays, because the specificity of the interaction is dependent on the sequence of the binding domain, these approaches are highly specific in detecting the activation of distinct proteins.

The confirmation of previously suspected interactions typically utilizes a prey protein source that has been expressed in an artificial protein expression system. This allows the researcher to work with a larger quantity of the protein than is typically available under endogenous expression conditions and eliminates confusing results that could arise from interaction of the bait with other interacting proteins present in the endogenous system that are not under study. Protein expression system lysates (i.e., E. coli or baculovirus-infected insect cells), in vitro transcription/translation reactions, and previously purified proteins are appropriate prey protein sources for confirmatory studies.
The discovery of unknown interactions contrasts with confirmatory studies because the research interest lies in discovering new proteins in the endogenous environment that interact with a given bait protein. The endogenous environment can entail a plethora of possible protein sources but is generally characterized as a complex protein mixture considered to be the native environment of the bait protein. Any cellular lysate in which the bait is normally expressed, or complex biological fluid (i.e. blood, intestinal secretions, etc.) where the bait would be functional, is an appropriate prey protein source for discovery studies.
Bait proteins for pull-down assays can be generated either by linking an affinity tag to proteins purified by traditional purification methods or by expressing recombinant fusion-tagged proteins. Researchers who have access to commercially available purified protein or frozen aliquots of purified protein from an earlier study can design a pull-down assay without the need for cloning the gene encoding the protein of interest. The purified protein can be tagged with a protein-reactive tag commonly used for such labeling applications. Alternatively, if a cloned gene is available, molecular biology methods can be employed to subclone the gene to an appropriate vector with a fusion tag. Recombinant clones can be overexpressed and easily purified, resulting in an abundance of bait protein for use in pull-down assays.

Protein Labeling Reagents
The discovery and confirmation of protein-protein interactions using the pull-down technique depend heavily on the nature of the interaction under study. Interactions can be stable or transient, and this characteristic determines the conditions for optimizing binding between the bait and prey proteins. Transient interactions are usually associated with transport or enzymatic mechanisms. The ribosome illustrates both examples because the structure consists of many stable protein-protein interactions, but the enzymatic mechanism that translates mRNA to nascent protein requires transient interactions.
Stable protein-protein interactions are easiest to isolate by physical methods like pull-down assays because the protein complex does not disassemble over time. Strong, stable protein complexes can be washed extensively with high ionic strength buffers to eliminate any false positive results due to nonspecific interactions. If the complex interaction has a higher dissociation constant and a weaker interaction, the interaction strength and thus the protein complex recovery can be improved by optimizing the assay conditions related to pH, salt species and salt concentration. Problems of nonspecific interactions can be minimized with the careful design of appropriate control experiments.
Transient interactions are defined by their temporal interaction with other proteins and are the most challenging protein-protein interactions to isolate. These interactions are more difficult to identify using physical methods like pull-down assays because the complex may dissociate during the assay. Since transient interactions occur during transport or as part of enzymatic processes, they often require cofactors and energy via nucleotide triphosphates hydrolysis. Incorporating cofactors and nonhydrolyzable nucleoside triphosphate (NTP) analogs during assay optimization can serve to 'trap' interacting proteins in different stages of a functional complex that is dependent on the cofactor or NTP.
Weak or transient protein-protein interactions can be strengthened by covalently crosslinking the interacting proteins prior to pull-down. While this strategy is more advanced than performing the pull-down assay without crosslinking, freezing protein interactions by crosslinking may make or break the success of a pull-down assay.

Additional methods to study protein-protein interactions
The identification of bait-prey interactions requires that the complex is removed from the affinity support and analyzed by standard protein detection methods. The entire complex can be eluted from the affinity support using sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) loading buffer or a competitive analyte specific for the tag on the bait protein. SDS-PAGE loading buffer is a harsh treatment that will denature all protein in the sample and restricts the sample to SDS-PAGE analysis only. This method may also strip excess protein off the affinity support that is nonspecifically bound to the matrix, and this material can interfere with analysis. Competitive analyte elution is much more specific for the bait-prey interaction, because it does not strip proteins that are nonspecifically bound to the affinity support. This method is non-denaturing; thus, it can elute a biologically-functional protein complex, which could be useful for subsequent studies.
An alternative elution protocol is to use a step-wise gradient of increasing salt concentration or decreasing pH, which allows the selective elution of prey proteins while the bait remains immobilized. A gradient elution is not necessary once the critical salt concentration or pH has been optimized for efficient elution. These elution methods are also non-denaturing and can be informative in determining the relative interaction strength.

Binding and Elution Buffers for Antibody Purification
Protein complexes contained in eluted samples can be visualized by SDS-PAGE and associated detection methods, including gel staining, Western blotting detection and S-35 radioisotopic detection. The final determination of interacting proteins often entails protein band isolation from a polyacrylamide gel, tryptic digestion of the isolated protein and mass spectrometric identification of digested peptides.
Pull-down assays entail multiple steps often using more than one cell lysate, and therefore each experiment must be properly controlled to demonstrate that the final results are not artifactual. Each experiment should analyze the lysate(s) both before and after being passed through the support to identify any nonspecific binding to the support. Each wash should also be analyzed to observe any eluted protein, and bait- and prey-free controls should also be used to confirm that there are no bait-prey interactions in the bait lysate and that the prey protein does not bind to the immobilized support.

Homemade pull-down approaches for confirming or identifying protein-protein interactions are ubiquitous in contemporary scientific literature. The homemade pull-down assay represents a collection of reagents from multiple commercial vendors that cannot be validated together as a functional assembly except by extensive assay development by the researcher, and troubleshooting this combination of reagents can be tedious and time-consuming. Commercial pull-down kits contain complete, validated sets of reagents specifically developed for performing pull-down assays. The buffers provided in each kit allow complete flexibility to determine the optimal conditions for isolating interacting proteins. The working solutions for washing and binding are physiologic in pH and ionic strength, providing a starting point from which specific buffer conditions for each unique interacting pair can be optimized. Many commercial kits also incorporate spin columns for efficient handling of small volumes of affinity support, complete retention of the affinity support during the pull-down assay and thorough washing of the protein complexes for minimal nonspecific protein pull-down, all of which are common sources of variability and high background using traditional pull-down assay formats.

|Code XANA in Action
Known Uses for Code: XANA
Sector Deletion
This was the first function of the code that is seen in the series. XANA would use the Scyphozoa to possess Aelita and guide her to the Way Tower of the sector she was in (as this tower held all codes that upheld the sector). Once she had entered the code into the tower interface, XANA would have full access to the sector and using this power he would delete the sector entirely. The main purpose of destroying the sectors was to prevent Team Lyoko from accessing Carthage with the Transport Orb. Aelita destroyed the Forest first in Lyoko Minus One, the Desert in The Pretender, the Ice Barrier in Sabotage (though she was not possessed by XANA, she did this only to save the supercomputer), and finally the Mountains in Double Trouble.
Tower Activation (Translation Deactivation)
Another function of code is the ability to instantly activate a tower for XANA. In the series, XANA could only activate neutral towers instantly however if he attempted to take control of others, he usually met strong resistance. The first and only use of this function was displayed when William used it in the missed episode Lab Rat to deteleport Odd and Aelita. William performs the same proscedure that Aelita does to deactivate a tower: first he enters the tower, levitates to the top, and enters Code: XANA on the interface, giving XANA control of the tower. In the example shown, XANA deactivated Translation, sending everyone back into the Skid.

Citigroup: Earnings Winner
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Citigroup (C) was the big winner on Monday among the largest U.S. banks, with shares rising 5.5% to close at $36.66.
The broad indexes all rose 1% after the U.S. Department of Commerce announced that retail sales in September increased 1.1% from August and 5.4% from a year earlier, to an estimated $412.9 billion. While it is the smallest type of business listed among the broad categories in the Commerce Department's report, the category with the largest year-over-year improvement for sales during the first nine months of 2012 was furniture and home furnishing stores, with retail sales rising 8.8% to $70 billion. This is the latest of many indicators for a housing recovery.
The KBW Bank Index (I:BKX) rose 1% to close at 50.50, with 16 of the 24 index components showing gains for the session.
Citigroup reported third-quarter earnings of $468 million, or 15 cents a share, declining from 95 cents during the second quarter, and $1.23 during the third quarter of 2012.It was a messy quarter for Citi, including a $4.7 billion pre-tax loss on the company's sale of a 14% stake in the Morgan Stanley Smith Barney joint venture, and the write-down of its remaining stake in the joint venture, as well as a negative $776 million in debit valuation adjustments, as well as a $582 million tax benefit. Excluding these items, the company earned $3.3 billion, or $1.06 a share during the third quarter, beating the consensus estimate of 96 cents a share, among analysts polled by Thomson Reuters.
