mass spectrometry, proteomics, solid tumours, posttranslational modifications
Research Interests
An overarching theme of my laboratory's work is the experimental investigation of the network behavior of biological systems relevant to human disease, using a variety of biochemical, biophysical, molecular biological, and systems modeling approaches. A primary focus is the biology of solid tumors such as colorectal cancers.
Proteomic Biomarker Discovery
We use a variety of biochemical tools, including high-resolution mass spectrometry, for the characterization of proteome-level alterations in primary human tissue samples. Using this approach, we have discovered a variety of novel proteins and pathways in both colorectal cancers and lung adenocarcinomas.
We are refining these approaches to investigate posttranslational modification events directly in primary samples (e.g., phosphorylation or glycosylation events) using novel chemical affinity enrichment strategies as well as metabolic labeling strategies.
Using similar experimental approaches, we have expanded our work to serum samples with the goal of defining the totality of antibody specificities in a patient's serum, what we call the autoantigen-ome. We are now examining the temporal proteomic evolution of the autoantigen-ome in patients with cancers and autoimmune diseases such as lupus. We expect that this will lead to the discovery of novel antigenic epitopes that can be used for both diagnostic and therapeutic purposes.
The Impact of Genomic Aberrations on the Proteome
With near-complete genome sequencing of cancer samples it becomes feasible to use this information (together with transcriptome-wide expression data) to try to answer some fundamental questions about proteome-level effects. For example, we would like to answer the question of how many of the dozens of somatic coding sequence changes at cancer genome level actually make it into detectable aberrant proteins as opposed to leading to unstable mRNA, abortive translation events, or unstable proteins with accelerated turnover. This is an important question because all current targeted therapies are directed against proteins (enzymes or structural proteins), and only if an aberrant protein is actually made can one expect therapeutic effects.
To this end, we are sequencing a variety of cancer tissue samples for which we also have high-quality fresh-frozen samples from the very same patient and tumor location. This allows us to inform mass spectrometric investigation with prior knowledge about sequence-predicted, patient-specific alterations and to focus on the direct detection of mutated proteins and peptides.

An alleged shoplifter got caught with a lot more than stolen merchandise, according to police.
Colorado Springs police said Anthony Barreras, 20, had a bag of what appeared to be crystal meth and a loaded gun.
The officer found the alleged meth as he was searching Barreras, and said the suspect then tried to bribe him with $100 to let him go.
Barreras reportedly fought with the officers as he was being handcuffed, and that's when a loaded gun apparently fell out of his waist band. Police said an employee picked up the gun as the officer continued to struggle with the suspect.
Barreras was eventually handcuffed and treated for injuries to his face that were sustained in the fight before being taken to jail.
Barreras is facing multiple charges including possession of a schedule II drug, possession of a weapon by a previous offender, bribery and theft.
Police said Barreras has a felony record. The ATF will review the case to determine if he will also face federal charges.
The incident happened at 9:40 a.m. January 6 at the Walmart located on the 3200 block of East Platte in Colorado Springs.

Swap on a budget woes resolved
Posted By Pam MacKenzie On September 30, 2010 @ 8:07 pm In Uncategorized | Comments Disabled
We're starting the next round of Swap on a Budget this week. I'm moderating again — I've been assigned 7 people to match round-robin and stay in touch with until their packages are sent by Dec. 10. Two of the girls in this round were in my group last time, and I know some of the others, so it's going to be fun.
The problem is, I have 6 cat owners and a woman who is allergic to pet dander of any kind. I have to thank my friend Arlene, another moderator, for coming to my rescue. She's allowing one of her people to spoil my odd-woman out, and one of my people will, in turn, spoil one of Arlene's, so it's all going to be fine. A little crazy, and probably unprecedented, but I think it's going to work.
I'm off to work on one of my projects now. As I was changing sheets tonight, I got to thinking how great it would be to tackle all my unfinished projects next year. The Fair Isle Lumber Jacket, the autumn leaves sweater, the Bamboo Kimono, the afghan from the 1980s with leaves in it, the Bernat Boucle jacket…I think I'm going to do just that.
I'll probably announce the contest winners tomorrow night or early Saturday morning.

With the heat-o-meter high up in the stratosphere these days, I'm always looking for ways to keep cool. Spending hours in a hot, steamy kitchen, churning out heavy meals is not my idea of a good time! This is the perfect opportunity to take advantage of what the summer's best produce has to offer, and eat lots of salads. But, I'm not just talking about a slab of iceberg lettuce here, folks. Why not take the opportunity to get a little creative and take your salads to the next level, like with this light and lovely Green Bean and Potato Salad with Dijon Vinaigrette?
Crisp tender green beans, potatoes, sweet grape tomatoes and thin slivers of red onion are paired with a zesty vinaigrette, and accented with Dijon mustard, lemon, garlic, honey and fresh herbs. The dressing is enriched with hard-boiled egg yolks for a bit of richness without the health risks associated with raw yolks, making it an excellent menu choice for extreme temperatures. read more >>

Massive Dynamics, Inc. (OTCBB: MSSD) appears to be positioning its new products at the perfect time as tablets and smartphones seemed to dominate the 2013 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. According to Investorplace.com's contributor Brad Moon, in an article titled "C.E.S. Craze: Tablets, Tablets and more Tablets!", he says "tablets and smartphones should provide the stimulus, accounting for 40% of all consumer electronics purchases for 2013. Revenue from tablets is pegged for 25% growth on the year, making the category even hotter than smartphones."
Massive Dynamics has tentatively scheduled the unveiling of the first new breakthrough WEB 4.0 computing tablet on March 15th, which will operate on Google's (NASDAQ: GOOG) Android platform. The Company has also launched a new smartphone device named the "TeliPad," which adds a two-line smartphone to an Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL), Google (NASDAQ: GOOG) Android or Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) computing tablet, via Bluetooth.
Mr. Moon went on to say "Manufacturers recognize the demand for tablets and realize that Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) is no longer invincible in the category. Although the iPad had the tablet market to itself when released in 2010 (at one point that year claiming 95% of the global market), it's now on the verge of slipping below 50% market share.
That's thanks largely to Google's (NASDAQ: GOOG) continual improvement of the Android operating system (which powers the majority of non-Apple tablets), along with the success of smaller and cheaper tablets from the company and Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN). In addition, Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) is now in the fray with a new tablet operating system — Windows RT — and its own Surface tablet line."
This new "first of its kind" tablet is right in line with the Company's focus on lucrative new WEB 4.0 technology as the product can receive information and instructions without the user needing to touch the tablet, utilize voice input or incorporate any peripheral device whatsoever. The term "WEB 4.0" is typically defined as the imminent evolution into "Intelligent Interaction" of consumer electronics.

The people have spoken
In the last few months, Newt Gingrich has been on a media blitz to promote his new book, To Save America: Stopping Obama's Secular-Socialist Machine.
We've documented before how Gingrich's buzzwords only cheapen real faith, but now it looks like we weren't the only ones turned off by it.
From Roll Call today (password protected):
Only a handful of people turned out for the signing of Gingrich's latest book, "To Save America," at the downtown Borders bookstore on Friday…Before Gingrich's event got under way, only six people stood in line in hopes of seeing Gingrich, with the rest of the crowd made up of Gingrich's staff, Borders staffers and journalists.
Looks like the free market Newt holds so dear has spoken…

January 2, 2014 — Happy New Year.
2014 will be a significant year for The Asia Foundation as we mark 60 years of contributions to a dynamic and developing Asia. From empowering women to succeed in politics, expanding economic opportunities and eliminating barriers for entrepreneurs, to strengthening the capacity of institutions and equipping leaders with new preparedness planning and response skills to reduce the toll of natural disasters, we have contributed to improving lives throughout Asia.
In an increasingly complex and changing world, a peaceful and engaged Asia is of critical importance. Since our founding in 1954, we have worked side by side with dedicated individuals and institutions across Asia through our 18 offices in Asia. We have built strong connections to many of Asia's most influential leaders, such as Nobel Peace Prize winner Muhammad Yunus, who fondly remembers receiving textbooks from Books for Asia, and Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, who spoke at the Foundation's headquarters in 2012 after spending decades in detention in Myanmar.
Looking ahead, we will continue to address the critical issues facing Asia by promoting inclusive growth, addressing economic opportunity gaps, and strengthening responsive institutions. Our efforts are made possible by the generous support of a diverse group of donors, including bilateral and multilateral development agencies, foundations and corporations, and individuals.
As you will read in this issue, while our longest-running program, Books for Asia, and the Foundation are celebrating 60 years, our Women's Empowerment Program is celebrating its twentieth anniversary this year. To showcase our work and raise the financial resources so vital to our ongoing work, we will be hosting events in Washington, DC, New York, San Francisco, and Seoul throughout 2014.
The Asia Foundation looks forward to a bright future, and I hope you will join us in marking these important milestones by attending one of our gala events, staying informed online, and signing up for future Asia Foundation news.
Thank you for your support, and best wishes for the New Year.
David D. Arnold
President, The Asia Foundation

The only slam dunks for me thus far this year are Titus Andronicus' The Monitor and Anais Mitchell's Hadestown, with probably a slight edge to Titus Andronicus because 1) they're named after a Shakespeare play in which a dude's hand gets chopped off, and 2) they have a "rock 'n roll saved my life" desperation that I still find, even in my becalmed dotage, utterly irresistible.
Brad Mehldau's Highway Rider gets my vote for Jazz Album of the Half Year, and the country category is a good ol' boy split between Jamey Johnson's The Guitar Song and Watermelon Slim's The Ringer. I'm fairly certain that Janelle Monae's The ArchAndroid is a great album, although I still don't really care much for dance-oriented R&B. But she does it so well. Sharon Jones wins the coveted Old School Soul Award.

Vermont this month begins giving gay and lesbian couples the right to form "civil unions." A bill passed in April entitles homosexual partners property and other legal rights that spouses already have. It's the first state to create such a parallel track to marriage. Clergy, as well as judges and justices of the peace, can sign the state document creating the civil unions.
Next month two members of Trinity Lutheran Church, Brattleboro, plan a union ceremony in the office of their pastor, Peter Hanson. "When they asked me to do this," Hanson says, "they told me, 'The state's finally catching up with us.' "
The couple have been together many years and previously had a commitment celebration, so they will renew their vows as part of the signing.
Hanson, dean of the Vermont/New York Conference of the New England Synod, publicly supported the legislation.
In a letter to the editor of the Brattleboro Reformer, he commented: "Gay couples wishing to marry are not a threat to my marriage, nor to marriage in general. Rather, people who are unable or unwilling to make lasting, lifetime, legal commitments of exclusivity and mutual faithfulness--just the sort of recognized relationship sought by many same-sex couples--are what threaten to weaken marriage."
The letter, Hanson adds, represents his view. He says his support is rooted in the ELCA pledge to "welcome gay and lesbian people into full participation in the life our church." The Vermont law "took the issue to the center where we can't ignore it--for better or worse," Hanson says.
Thomas Koch is one who believes the decision was for the worse. The Republican representative from Barre Town is a member of Shepherd of the Hills, Montpelier, Vt., and serves as parliamentarian for the New England Synod. Koch voted against the new law.
"It's not so much about civil rights as it is about social recognition of homosexuality as normative," he says. "It's marriage in everything except name. I'm just not ready to go there--probably never will. Does my being raised in Lutheran Sunday schools have something to do with that? Yes."

SERVE is asking Callawegians to share their favorite foods as a way to help some of their neighbors put food on the table.
Julie Roark, director of SERVE's Callaway Action Network is gathering recipes for the We CAN Cook! cookbook, which the organization will use as a fundraiser this March.
"We are requesting submissions of all types — the more unique the better," Roark said. "We're trying to make it fun."
She said SERVE officials came up with the idea for the cookbook because they wanted to do something they had never done before.
"We kind of thought it fit with what we do," Roark said.
The book will have numerous sections, including one on frugal living, and Roark said they are hoping to collect 300 recipes and other hints.
"Here at the office we're trying to come up with recipes that help you stretch your dollars — a meal that will fit a budget, but still be enjoyable," she said.

The world of Miguel Armando Rodriguez was plunged into darkness and shadow last year when he had to quit his job doing maintenance at Yolo County Housing because of cataracts.
"I was working on roofs and I was afraid I would fall because I couldn't see when I stepped off the ladder," Rodriguez said. "I quit my job because I just couldn't see anymore."
In the past year, the 59-year-old West Sacramento man has been offered five jobs but couldn't take them because his vision. "I'm at home, feeling frustrated that I can't do anything," he said. "I feel like I'm in a jail."
But on Friday, Rodriguez, the father of two daughters and a U.S. citizen who emigrated from El Salvador, got part of his vision back when he underwent cataract surgery on his right eye at the Kaiser Permanente Eye Surgery Center in Rancho Cordova. He was one of 17 patients who received the free service though the Mission Cataract USA program.
"It's a chance to do something and affect their life in a positive way," said Clint McClanahan, chief of ophthalmology for Kaiser Permanente Medical Center, Sacramento, who founded the program 18 years ago and operated on Rodriguez on Friday.
Through Mission Cataract USA, free cataract surgery is offered to patients who have no medical insurance, meet the income guidelines – income cannot be above 200 percent of the poverty level – and have severe cataracts.
Cataracts form when the lens of the eye starts to cloud up as people age. The condition reduces vision and sometimes leads to blindness. In cataract surgery, the lens of the eye is removed – by ultrasound at Kaiser Permanente Sacramento – and an artificial lens is inserted. The entire procedure, which is performed with local anesthesia, takes 20 to 30 minutes.
Since 1995, nearly 400 people have participated in the Kaiser program, many of them repeat patients.
Rodriguez had started losing his eyesight in 2008, when he was working as a foreman for a construction company in Los Angeles. But it wasn't enough to prevent him from doing his job. After the company closed in 2009, he moved to West Sacramento, where his brother lives, and landed a part-time job with Yolo County Housing. He would clean apartments, work on landscaping, and perform general maintenance.
But in 2011, "my right eye started closing," he said. The sun and fluorescent lights started bothering him, appearing as white flashes, so he started wearing sunglasses indoors and out.
Last year, he applied for Medi-Cal and was diagnosed as having cataracts.
He was scheduled to have surgery on both eyes last year through Medi-Cal, but the day before the operation, he was told that he didn't qualify for the procedure because his wife, Ana Rodriguez, 52, made $1,000 a month, which put him above the income threshold. If he wanted to proceed with the surgery, he would have to pay $5,200 in cash – money he did not have.
"I was sad because I wanted to get my eyesight back," he said, speaking in Spanish through an interpreter.
His vision got progressively worse – he went blind in his right eye and could see only movement and vague shapes with his left eye. He could no longer drive his green 1998 Mazda pickup truck, read the Bible or watch any of his favorite programs on the Christian Broadcasting Network or Univision. His family stopped going out because of his limited vision.
Finally, last August, he had to quit his job, and stayed at home while his wife made minimum wage assembling window coverings at a factory in West Sacramento.
The role reversal upset him, especially after his older daughter, Merlee, 22, also began working to help pay the family bills.
"I want to work," said Rodriguez, who spends much of his day trying to do simple chores, like vacuuming the house and washing dishes.
Rodriguez didn't have much hope until February, when Araceli Rodriguez, a fellow church member at Calvary Christian Center who is not related to him, had cataract surgery scheduled at Kaiser and asked staff if there was anything that could help someone like him.
That was how Miguel Rodriguez learned about Mission Cataract USA.
On Friday, he was feeling a bit anxious before the surgery, which took about 45 minutes – longer than usual because of the density of the cataract.
"That's the densest cataract I've encountered in 22 years," McClanahan said afterward. "It's like having a brown M&M in the eye."
The thickness of the cataract meant that a larger opening had to be made in the eye, which then had to be stitched up. But after the surgery, while he was sipping a 7-Up, Rodriguez was optimistic about his prospects.
"My hope is to be born again," he said. "To be able to see, to be able to read, and to have a normal life with my family."

RIP Nightfish
the fish that gave me my forum name (and who I put in a web comic I made-as a "crime solving, talking fish" (its funnier then it sounds) is dead. I had to take him from the tank because he was killing other fish and he died in the bowl about a day later. He was a nutty fish, weird but very interestingly coloured Betta's were always a favorite of mine and I never like losing fish, especially not ones like him. I'll miss you, ya crazy s.o.b.
I'm so sorry about Nightfish. RIP Nightfish.
Give him a first name and use Nightfish as his last name.
Aww! Sorry to hear about your betta!

Happy Friday all.
Oh and a little ONT update: You know it's gets a little tiring sometimes putting out the ONT 7 days a week, 365 days a year. So with the recent fall in the rupee I've been authorized by blog authorities to bring in a guest blogger to fill in for me for me periodically on the ONT.
So it'll be nice to finally be able to sleep more than four hours at a time without the porn-talk alarm going off and to actually leave the lighthouse for non-court-mandated excursions. I've also heard that on the mainland they now have stores that just carry video games and video game accessories and that's all. Plus word has it that the hookers are particularly fine this year. So I'm hoping to be able to check all that out soon. More details to follow.
And proof that a frequently used phrase can actually happen. With magic. Slightly NSFW at the end.

Kelly can't decide who to boot just yet. All new episodes on Tuesdays at 10P/9C.
The BET Awards have proven to be the best awards show on cable, and from the looks of it, this year's BET Awards isn't going to be any different. But what's probably most exciting to me is how the show continues to include gospel music in the main show. (Let's be honest: Not everybody does it.)
Well, I'm pleased to announce that in this year's show, gospel will be well represented with performances by Sunday Best (premieres July 10 baby!) judges Donnie McClurkin and Mary Mary, along with Pastor Shirley Caesar, Deitrick Haddon and the Faithful Central Mass Choir.
But it doesn't stop there, because it's just not about the veterans this year. Up-and-coming gospel "soul" artist Mali Music will be a featured performer in this year's Music Matters segment along with Kimberly Nichole—who, from what I hear, and from all my friends that know her, is also a church girl on the low. Ha!
So make sure you watch the 2011 BET Awards on Sunday, June 26, at 8P/7C. Gospel will definitely be in the building!

Guilford County | Greensboro AHEC
Stephanie Amoako, Health Careers program participant, Americorps volunteer
A chance meeting made Stephanie Amoako aware of the existence of AHEC and its pipeline programs designed to encourage promising young people to pursue careers in health. While in high school, she and her mother ran into a friend who told them about Greensboro AHECs Summer Enrichment in Science and Mathematics (SEMS) Program.
A six-week residential program for high school juniors and seniors that engages students in rigorous academic courses, public health research and includes observations of health care professionals in clinical settings, SEMS turned out to be the ideal summer program for the budding health professional. As a Duke University student, Stephanie was interested in third world public health and global health issues.
The whole program was very good, said Stephanie, who attended SEMS the summer before her senior year of high school. It was very rigorous and we were really exposed to a lot of different fields. We saw cadavers at UNC Medical School. I joked with my mom that I had passed one test. As part of the program, each SEMS student chose a topic to research, write a paper and present a symposium hers was smoking in African American males.
Stephanies parents were born in Ghana and moved to this country to pursue their own education before Stephanie was born. The family moved from Virginia to Greensboro in 1990. When she was 13, Stephanie started volunteering at a womens hospital. She was inspired by her mother, a nurse practitioner at UNC-Greensboro who holds a doctorate as well as a masters degree in nursing. Seeing her work with her patients got me interested, Stephanie said. Ive always been fascinated by the human body and the detective aspect of medicine.
An international comparative studies major, Stephanie took some of the pre-med coursework required for medical school. Im a big public health and global health person. Thats where the international aspect comes in disease patterns and third world poverty issues. Im also interested in racial disparities and human rights issues.
Stephanie worked on a Red Cross fundraising initiative to eradicate measles in Africa during her freshman year at Duke. We called it Give a Dollar, Save a Life, because it costs less than a dollar to inoculate a child against measles. She was involved with an effort to inform the public about the culture and issues of Africa, particularly the problem of obstetric fistulas and how they affect women who become pregnant at an early age. Her semester abroad was in South Africa, where she focused on multiculturalism and social change.
"SEMS was one of the hardest but one of the most rewarding things I have done. It went from 8 am until 9 pm every day. The science and math courses prepared me for my classes that fall I took calculus that fall because I had had it in SEMS. It was a great program, she concluded. After receiving her bachelors degree from Duke in May of 2008, Stephanie began a year-long commitment with Americorps in Greensboro.

In its research, EBRI found that people who either used online retirement calculators or who worked with financial advisers were far more prepared to have a successful retirement than those who didn't. On the flip side, those who relied primarily on guessing at how much they'd need to cover their expenses wound up far worse prepared for their retirement than the typical person.
At Least Someone Has Contemplated Your Retirement
Intuitively, that makes a ton of sense. Your paychecks stop in retirement, but most of your expenses won't. Indeed, some of your costs -- most likely health insurance -- may well go up once you leave your employer. If you don't have a good handle on what all of your costs will be, you won't be able to adequately prepare for them.
Working with a professional or an online calculator helps in large part because an expert somewhere along the line has already thought about just about everything that goes into a typical retirement.
Those expenses can be estimated, tallied, and totaled. And with those cost estimates in hand, it becomes a straightforward math exercise to figure out how much someone needs to have saved.
And speaking of that bucket of money, once you know how big it has to be, figuring out how to accumulate it will largely be driven by estimates on your savings levels, rates of return, and time. Once again, a calculator -- whether run by you yourself or by a financial adviser you hire -- makes it fairly straightforward to figure out what you need to do to get there. The rest is largely a matter of regular review and course corrections, aided, of course, by either your or your planner's retirement calculator.
Which Is Better: Working Alone or with an Adviser?
There's good news for the retirement planning do-it-yourselfers out there. According to the EBRI's data, those who took charge of their own retirement and planned for it on their own with the help of online calculators were generally better prepared than those who used a professional adviser. That held true across all family statuses and income ranges that the EBRI considered.
Still, just like many people need to hire a personal trainer for the encouragement to exercise, other people may need to hire a financial adviser for the encouragement to invest for their retirement. Just beware that every dollar you spend on an adviser -- either directly or indirectly through money the adviser gets paid for selling you products -- is a dollar you can't invest. That dollar also won't compound on your behalf, making it that much tougher for you to ultimately reach your retirement goal.
Nevertheless, you're still far better off putting something away for your future than not investing at all, even if your overall returns aren't the greatest. If it takes prodding from a financial adviser to get you moving on a reasonable plan, that's still leagues ahead of where you'd likely get from mere guessing.
Stop Guessing, Start Doing
If you've never used an online retirement calculator before, now is the absolute best time to take a few out for a test drive. Since time can be the most powerful weapon in your retirement arsenal, the sooner you get moving, the better off you'll be.
The three links below are to different free calculators, any of which will help get you in the ballpark of where you need to be to have a successful plan:
- AARP -- Very simple and straightforward, with inputs and results graph on the same page.
- CNN Money -- Good balance between entry effort and results. Big benefit: It shows you the odds of your plan succeeding, rather than just assuming you'll hit your targets.
- E$P Planner -- Very comprehensive, but takes a long time and requires a lot of inputs and reading.
- DailyFinance retirement calculators -- This suite of calculators helps you home in on retirement savings specifics, such as which savings account should be tapped first in retirement to the effects of tax law changes and inflation.

Woman's survival in crime spree 'miraculous'
Thursday, January 5, 2012
SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — A bodybuilder who was shot in the head during a carjacking outside a Nevada casino — then drove herself to get help — was released from a Salt Lake City hospital just days after the shooting, which authorities said figured in a two-state crime spree.
Rattana Keomanivong, operator of the Animal House Training and Nutrition gym in West Wendover, Nev., is a tough woman who earned the title "Wendover Strongest" during a weightlifting fundraiser last summer, police Sgt. David Wiskerchen said Wednesday.
Keomanivong was able to drive herself to the police station after being shot Saturday outside a casino in West Wendover and give a description of her assailants, he said.
Wiskerchen cited the woman's "sheer survivability" and added, "It was amazing. It was miraculous."
The suspects in her shooting and the earlier killing of an elderly Utah couple are being held in a Nevada jail on suspicion of kidnapping, robbery and an attempted murder charge. They will face additional counts in Utah after resolving the Nevada charges.
Court officials in Elko, Nev., said prosecutors were preparing formal charges against Logan McFarland, 24, and Angela Atwood, 25, both of Sanpete County, Utah. They were captured Tuesday walking in the desert south of Oasis, Nev.
Police said they couldn't discuss the nature of Keomanivong's injury, but a probable cause statement says she had a gunshot wound on the left side of her head. It wasn't clear if the bullet just grazed her head. The woman asked for privacy through West Wendover police, saying she didn't want to talk about it.
Keomanivong was released from University Hospital in Salt Lake City Tuesday, officials said. The hospital couldn't provide details of her medical condition.
A Facebook page for her gymnasium had patrons praying for her recovery.
"R you are very courageous," wrote one customer, Deeanna Croasmun. "Can't imagine what you have been going through in the last few days. Lots of people are praying for you!"
No one answered the phones Wednesday at the woman's gym, and no listing was found under her maiden or married name. Mike Daniels, a fitness trainer at the gym, earlier told The Salt Lake Tribune that, "She's doing OK. She's able to talk and move around a little bit."
McFarland is held on $52,000 bail. Atwood's bail was set higher Wednesday at $102,000 because her booking statement accuses her of the West Wendover shooting. She was being held for attempted murder, but seemed unable to comprehend that during a video conference from jail Wednesday with Elko Justice and Municipal Court, the Deseret News of Salt Lake City reported.
"I don't understand what's going on," she cried.
McFarland seemed equally surprised by his booking charges, asking a judge, "How am I being charged with kidnapping?" Authorities said it was related to the botched carjacking.
Elko police filed a probable cause statement linking the pair to the killing of a couple in Mount Pleasant, Utah, where authorities say the crime spree started Friday with the killing of LeRoy and Ann Fullwood. Funeral services for the couple were set for Friday at a local Mormon chapel.
McFarland has a recent criminal history that includes drug and theft charges, according to the Utah state courts database.
He was released Oct. 10 after spending a month in jail for a conviction of theft by receiving stolen property — a supply of copper cables. He was supposed to pay a $500 fine in monthly installments. In August, he was arrested for possession of drug paraphernalia. That charge was dismissed a month later by prosecutors.
Atwood has some minor offenses listed in court records.

Overall, the ELCA has been loosing a steady trickle of members in the last decade, yet some congregations are growing. Some of the growth can be explained by population influx to booming cities and towns, but not all. Some congregations have simply found creative ways to serve and reach their communities.

On a sunny day inside the sanctuary at St. Dysmas of South Dakota, you can see the bars outside the stained-glass windows.
"We experience hope and joy here, but at the same time, we don't ignore the seriousness of our pasts," said William A. Hamill, pastor of a congregation made up of convicted felons at the South Dakota State Penitentiary. "The key to it all is the constant message by the congregational council and the core members: Repentance leads to forgiveness, and even you can be forgiven."
Since December 2005, attendance at St. Dysmas has tripled, from about 35 worshipers to 100. Meanwhile the Bible study group has grown from a dozen to 40 inmates.
One-on-one outreach and evangelism is a key to the growth of the congregation, which worships in an auditorium refurbished by the inmates. "A good number of these men don't believe they are forgiven, and they're still living with the guilt and burden of their crime," Hamill said. "It leads many of them to become hopeless.
"The core of Lutheran theology is grace, and when the men keep hearing about that in a sincere way, they see that grace is a reality for them too."
Dozens of congregations routinely travel to St. Dysmas to encourage and worship with the inmates. One of the high points is a hymn sung in honor of prisoners finishing their sentences and preparing to leave.
"I get to give them the speech that I never want to see them in my church again," Hamill said.

Café marron (Ramosmania rodriguesii)
|Café Marron
|Ramosmania (1)
|Height: 2 - 4 m (2)
Classified as Critically Endangered (CR) on the IUCN Red List (1)
On sending his pupils out to explore for rare and interesting plants, a school teacher on the island of Rodrigues in 1980 was astounded when one of his pupils returned with a fresh cutting of a plant believed to be extinct (2) (4). The plant was the café marron, one of two congeneric tree species bearing the same common name, both of which had last been seen in the 1940s. The café marron grows as a shrub or small tree, with oppositely arranged leaves that exhibit two very different forms on the same individual plant. While the juvenile leaves are linear, or narrowly elliptic in shape, and can reach up to 30 cm in length, the adult leaves are usually half as long and have a more broadly elliptic profile. The sweetly-scented, hermaphroditic flowers are greenish-yellow at first but become pure white at maturity (2).
The café marron is endemic to the island of Rodrigues, Mauritius, where it is presently known from just a single wild individual (2) (4).
Historically known from tropical, humid forest (2).
Like many plants with hermaphroditic flowers, the café marron is self-incompatible (2), meaning that the pollen from the flowers of an individual plant cannot fertilise the pistils of its own flowers (5). This common strategy prevents plants from inbreeding, whilst promoting out-crossing, which increases the genetic vigour of offspring (5). However, the inability to self-fertilise becomes somewhat less advantageous when a plant's global population is reduced to a single individual.
Along with much of Rodrigues' native vegetation, it was probably a combination of introduced herbivores, invasive alien plants, and habitat loss that decimated the café marron population (6). Indeed, goats had reduced the remaining wild specimen to a small, half-eaten shrub when it was first discovered. Owing to the unprecedented level of scientific interest that surrounded the little plant in the aftermath of its re-discovery, local people became convinced of the plant's medicinal properties (2). Consequently, there was a period before the erection of multiple fences (1) (2), and even the installation of a guard, when people were intent on removing branches, twigs and leaves from the hapless plant (7). Although the protection of the single wild specimen has now been secured, the real obstacle to the species' long-term survival is establishing an efficient means of propagating a non-sterile population from an effectively sterile plant (2).
Relatively soon after the re-discovery of the café marron, cuttings from the surviving plant were sent to Kew Gardens in England. At Kew, scientists were successful in propagating clones of the plant from the cuttings but could not find a means of successfully fertilising the flowers in order to produce seeds (2). Then in 2003, a major breakthrough was made when researchers discovered a technique to bypass the plant's self-incompatibility mechanism, resulting in the production of a small number of viable seeds (2) (8). Since then, several seeds have been successfully germinated at a nursery on Rodrigues, with the aim of eventually re-vitalising a wild population on the island (9).

This information is awaiting authentication by a species expert, and will be updated as soon as possible. If you are able to help please contact:
- Congeneric: species belonging to the same genus.
- Fertilise: in a flowering plant, the process of a pollen grain joining with the ovule (female egg cell). After fertilisation, the female parts of the flower develop into a fruit.
- Hermaphroditic: in plants refers to flowers that possessing both male and female sex organs i.e. both male stamens and female ovaries.
- Inbreeding: the breeding of closely related individuals. An inbred population usually has less genetic variability and this is generally disadvantageous for its long-term survival and success.
- Out-crossing: The breeding of unrelated individuals. Out-crossing increases genetic variability and the health of individuals and populations. It is generally beneficial for the long-term survival and success of populations.
- Pistils: the female reproductive organs of a flowering plant; consisting of a stigma (the pollen receptor), style (a stalk connecting the stigma with the ovary below), and ovary (encloses the ovules).

Cougars' perfect season ends with loss in quarterfinals
Saturday, March 16, 2013
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Columbia College Cougars saw their undefeated season come to an abrubt halt Saturday night in the NAIA National Tournament at Municipal Auditorium in Kansas City.
The Cougars, who came into their quarterfinal contest 35-0 and ranked No. 1 in the nation, were bounced with a 79-78 loss to LSU Shreveport.
Columbia held a 42-36 lead at halftime but got outscored 43-36 after intermission to fall.
Jordan Dressler pumped in 26 points and grabbed eight rebounds in a losing effort.
Tanner Sutton added 15 for the Cougars and Marquette Murrell added 11. Zach Rockers (Helias High School) did not score for Columbia.
LSU Shreveport (27-6) advances on to face either MidAmerica Nazarene or Lindsey Wilson in Monday's semifinal round.
In Friday's second round, the Cougars advanced with a 66-64 win over Hope International.
After the game was tied at 32 at halftime, Columbia outscored Hope 34-32 after the break to win it.
The Cougars actually trailed 64-63 with :56 left in the contest after a pair of free throws by Hope, but a score by Devin Griffin with :46 remaining gave Columbia the lead for good. Griffin made 1-of-2 free throws with :16 left to provide the final margin.
Jordan Dressler racked up 18 points and 11 rebounds to lead the Cougars to the win. Griffin added 12 and Derrick Dilworth chipped in with 11. Rockers had five points for the winners.
Hope (26-8) got a game-high 19 points from Kris Rosales.
Also on Friday, Evangel University saw its season come to an end with a 77-70 loss to LSU Shreveport.
Evangel, the ninth-ranked team in NAIA, fell behind 41-31 at halftime and couldn't recover. The Crusaders held a 39-36 scoring advantage in the second half.
The game was the final in the college careers of Evangel's Stephen Cotten and Jayme Donnelly. Cotten (Eldon High School) had team highs of 22 points and nine rebounds, while Donnelly (Linn High School) had five points, six rebounds, six assists and four steals for Evangel (26-7).
Brandon Davis racked up 23 points and 17 rebounds for LSU Shreveport, which was unranked heading into the tournament.

Recently Microsoft Learning launched a new show on TechNet Radio called Cert Talk. If you haven't seen a TechNet Radio show in a while, you might be surprised to learn they have video. I guess TechNet Video just isn't as catchy a title. I suggested updating the name by putting quotes around the word "radio" but they told me to stick to naming exams.
Anyway, as you can guess by the name, MSL's "TV" show is all about certification. (See, the quotes work!) We're doing one episode a month with perhaps the occasional special. Our first episode features none other than MSL Psychometrician, Liberty Munson. Liberty has some of the most popular blog posts here on B2L which probably accounts for the already phenomenal success of our first show. Liberty and I talk about what Microsoft is doing with piracy and get all psychometric about the Microsoft Certification Program. If you have enjoyed Liberty's posts in the past, check out this episode. You can find the episode here.
Since this was our first show, you'll notice we're still settling into things, but I'm really excited to be hosting the show every month. I hope you'll check it out and let us know what you'd like to see us talk about in future episodes. We've already recorded the second episode where I have a great conversation with Mr. Virtualization himself, Edwin Yuen so keep an eye out if you're into all things virtualization.
This show, and TechNet Radio in general, looks interesting, and I'd like to subscribe to it in my RSS reader / podcast downloader so I don't miss episodes, but the RSS feed links provided on their pages don't work quite right.
technet.microsoft.com/.../cc543196.aspx for the whole TechNet Radio,
technet.microsoft.com/.../cc543196.aspx for only Cert Talk,
both don't work when I try to add them to my reader, and http://validator.w3.org/feed/ reports several problems with them:
TechNet Radio gets "This feed does not validate." due to one error, plus "In addition, interoperability with the widest range of feed readers could be improved by implementing the following recommendations."
And Cert Talk gets "This feed is valid, but interoperability with the widest range of feed readers could be improved by implementing the following recommendations."
Could you pass this along to the appropriate people to get fixed?
Thanks Alice. I'll forward this over to the TechNet Radio folks to see if they can fix it. In the mean time, we'll be sure to make a post here whenever we have an episode.

Ranmaru's Kekkei Genkai
this wiki
|Ranmaru's Kekkei Genkai
|Naruto Episode #152
|Appears in
Ranmaru possessed a dōjutsu kekkei genkai which, when activated, causes his eyes to glow red in colour. It grants him abilities such as penetrative vision as well as the ability to hinder other dōjutsu such as the Byakugan which his own dōjutsu has been likened to.
Ranmaru's technique abilities include penetrating vision, disruption of eye-based kekkei genkai, and a unique chakra particle extension.
He has the ability to use his vision abilities to penetrate the walls of his small shack and view the outside world and perform genjutsu that can fool even the all-seeing Byakugan. This ability does not appear to have the range of the Byakugan, but it actually has the ability to counter that Hyūga trait. Ranmaru's vision also lets him locate and track others by sensing chakra, picking up chakra from long distances, and noticing changes in an individual's chakra. It is also able to sense how many individuals are present.
Ranmaru's vision has heightened perception and analytical powers like the Sharingan, meaning Ranmaru can comprehend any details he sees to predict the opponent's next move. He mainly contributed this ability to helping Raiga become more effective in battle. He can also see one's life force, allowing him to determine that Raiga, who had recently fallen in battle, was still alive. He was also able to transfer part of his own life force to Raiga.
Ranmaru could also extend his chakra out in red dust-like particles to create phantoms and hide his own chakra presence. The phantoms appeared to have functionality only when used in conjunction with Raiga's Kirigakure technique. The spectral images could be granted life-like chakra flows to confuse both normal ninja and Neji's Byakugan.

whats a good way to loose the baby weight in less then a few months?

Drink water! A lot of the baby weight is water weight, and drinking water helps flush it out of your system. Up your protein intake. Protein burns fat and gives you energy. And last but not least, pick up a Sauna suit and hit the tread mill for about 20 minutes a day. The Sauna suit burns double the calories and the weight just melts off. I lost A LOT of weight in a short period of time with the help of the Sauna suit. Of course speak with your doctor before starting ANY weight loss program and be careful not to over work yourself. I will say it again... drink lots of water. Oh yeah and if you go out to the store don't park right in front, park a little ways away. Burning a few calories here and there adds up!posted 09/18/2008 by lovetabycat

|"Stee-e-e-erike!": "Trouble with the Curve," "End of Watch," and "Beasts of the Southern Wild"
|Movies - Reviews
|Written by Mike Schulz
|Sunday, 23 September 2012 21:27
The latest movie to star Clint Eastwood, marking the icon's first on-screen appearance since 2008's Gran Torino, is director Robert Lorenz's baseball drama Trouble with the Curve. That curve, by the way, is the least of this film's troubles.
Admittedly, I was put off by Lorenz's outing beginning with its very first scene, which found Eastwood's aged baseball scout and comically irascible grouch growling at his ill-functioning penis and describing his morning feast of Spam as "the breakfast of champions"; Trouble with the Curve wasn't even five minutes old, and already I felt overwhelmed by terminal cutesiness, senior division. It turns out, though, that I should have appreciated the opener more, because at least Clint's below-the-belt convo and Spam comment, though corny, weren't predictable, and I'm not sure that even one unpredictable moment occurs over the 100 minutes to come. Screenwriter Randy Brown's hackneyed effort gives Clint's Gus a daughter he can't relate to (Amy Adams), who, in turn, is given a wannabe beau she doesn't like (Justin Timberlake), and it goes without saying that pop and daughter will eventually bond and daughter and beau will eventually kiss. But with every plot point spelled out with maximum obviousness, and all of the characters – including Matthew Lillard's weaselly corporate suck-up and Joe Massingill's obnoxious pitcher – effectively summarized in their first two lines of dialogue, the movie is a tedious, simpleminded, pandering bore; as with death, you're given nothing to do here but wait for the inevitable.
John Goodman, bless him, offers a few flashes of humanity, and happily, Adams comes through with a salty, tough-minded portrayal that actually transcends the clichéd, borderline-offensive "all work and no play" stereotype she's stuck with. The movie, however, would certainly have benefited from one of Adams' two main co-stars bothering to match her, and Timberlake, despite his natural charisma, appears so removed from the proceedings – especially during his and Adams' romantic byplay – that he may as well have Skyped in his performance. As for Clint, he's no doubt giving his legions of fans exactly what they want from him, and the man is entertaining in bits and spurts. But his work here also suggests that Gran Torino might have proved unfortunately impossible to shake off; with his throaty mumbles and clenched jaw and frequent "God damn it!"s, you keep waiting for this cartoon Walt Kowalski to tell everyone in sight to get off his lawn. "I've been in this business too damned long," grumbles Clint halfway through the picture. A few more movies like Trouble with the Curve, and I might start agreeing with him.
David Ayer's action thriller End of Watch opens with a title card reading "Once upon a time in South Central ... ," which, considering that the writer/director's film is also a cop drama, is certainly more welcome than the traditional "The following is based on true events." That introduction, though, may also be one of the least appropriate seen in recent cinema, because it suggests something akin to a fairytale, and End of Watch is nothing if not aggressively, sometimes strenuously, realistic. Following a pair of incorruptible police officers and best buds (Jake Gyllenhaal's Brian and Michael Peña's Mike) as they chase perps, raid apartments, and attract the unfortunate ire of a California drug cartel, the movie appears mostly caught on the fly, visualized through the lenses of hand-held cameras positioned in the cops' squad car, on the officers' lapels – Brian is recording their experiences for a class – and on other characters' camcorders. All told, and despite the impressive vérité of the feat, it proves too much for the film's good, a stylistic device that infringes on the narrative and occasionally impedes End of Watch by making us too conscious of the camerawork as a stunt. To my great and delighted surprise, though, that's among the very few issues I have with Ayer's offering, which I found terrifically exciting, sensationally well-paced, and, in Gyllenhaal's and Peña's superbly modulated performances, even tremendously touching. The men's fast, profane banter, rife with genial razzing of one another's ethnicities, is oftentimes laugh-out-loud hilarious, particularly when Brian rails against the sheer volume of area quinceañeras and Mike responds with a riotous bit on empty-headed Anglo consumerism. Yet beyond being merely amusing, Gyllenhaal's and Peña's playful rapport in the squad car plants the seeds for our caring about these characters more and more as the movie progresses, and by the time the men face a truly terrifying situation near the climax, you may be shocked at how completely rapt you are in the moment. I've seen plenty of action thrillers in my time, but I'm not sure I've ever seen one this unexpectedly, profoundly moving; End of Watch is the rare genre entertainment that ties your gut in a knot with simultaneously putting a lump in your throat.
Believe me, this is by no means a complaint, but if I may ask: What is going on over at Moline's Nova 6 Cinemas these days? A week ago Friday, months after the independent movie premiered in larger markets, the venue presented us with the area debut of Ruby Sparks, a charming, funny, original romantic comedy that I incorrectly presumed we Quad Citians would never have the chance to see at the cineplex. This weekend, meanwhile, brought with it Nova 6's booking of director Benh Zeitlin's Beasts of the Southern Wild, the critically way-acclaimed summer title that's on many Oscar prognosticators' short lists for Best Picture and, for star Quvenzhané Wallis, Best Actress. How did this rather shocking area two-fer of indie releases come to pass? And can it please continue indefinitely? A fantasy-tinged, post-Katrina drama concerning a gravely adult little girl and her makeshift family on the Louisiana bayou, Beasts of the Southern Wild is a gorgeously evocative blast of magical realism, so alive with specific feeling for its New Orleans milieu that you can practically smell the gumbo wafting from the screen. In truth, the movie proved a little shapeless for my tastes, and I found its gentle, lulling rhythms, while perfectly appropriate for the setting, a bit too languorous; I had to fight the urge to nap, though contentedly nap, more times than I care to admit. Yet I wouldn't have missed Zeitlin's movie for anything, considering its beautifully disarming flights of fancy (those beasts of the title are truly impressive creatures), and its heartbreaking, tough-love relationship between Wallis' indefatigable Hushpuppy and her dying father (the powerful Dwight Henry), and, most of all, for Wallis herself. All of six years old at the time of filming, this disarmingly focused and preternaturally gifted youth boasts a clear gaze and effortless gravity that one would think could only come from a long lifetime of acting, and Wallis' readings – especially during her frequent voice-over narration – are unerringly fine, filled with determination and purpose and absolute conviction. So thank you, Nova 6, for the opportunity to catch Beasts of the Southern Wild, and don't be surprised if, come February, the film's star is carrying an Academy Award, even if she is petite enough for the statuette to conceivably carry her.

The Queen of Hearts was entertaining children during a Valentine's Day celebration at the Barney Library in Farmington.
Maureen Klapatch danced around the room with the children.
They played a game, London Bridge is Falling Down.
"London Bridge is falling down,
Falling down, falling down.
London Bridge is falling down,
My fair lady."
I was getting ready to leave when I noticed the Queen sweep a little boy into another room.
He had started to cry during a movie they were showing about a bear who slept through a party with the animals in the woods in the winter.
He got the book for Christmas, his mom told me later.
Even though the book has a happy ending, he couldn't get beyond the part where the bear missed the party.
The Queen of Hearts chatted with him for the rest of the movie.
He wasn't crying anymore.
London Bridge is falling down.
"Build it up with silver and gold,
Silver and gold, silver and gold."

Thanks in advance for the help.

Hospice adds vigil volunteer service
OREGON – The possibility of someone being alone at the end of their life is more likely in today's society because so many families are spread out. The dying person may have very few, if any, relatives living in the area. However, with hospice volunteers and death vigil programs, no individual has to die alone.

In today's Health Matters, The drink that's been dubbed a "black-out in a can" is coming with a fresh warning.
The company that makes Four Loko is changing the drink's label to show that one can has as much alcohol as four or five beers. The move comes after the Federal Trade Commission accused Phusion Projects of being deceptive about the drink's alcohol content.
This isn't the first time the drink maker's landed in hot water. Last year, it also took caffeine out of its mix after claims the drinks were linked to the deaths of several teenagers.

Big Red Blog: Cardinals snap skid
Cardinals snap skid
Posted by Brad Wilbricht
Tuesday, December 18 - 2:30 PM
The Arizona Cardinals snapped a nine-game losing streak on Sunday, getting a much needed win against the Detroit Lions. Although Arizona was on the right side of a 38-10 lopsided affair, the season is once again a lost cause with the final two games of the year proving to be meaningless in terms of reaching the postseason.
Instead, the Cardinals will now be playing for pride, contract incentives and to determine where they'll pick in the upcoming 2013 NFL Draft.
Despite managing only 196 yards of total offense, Arizona dominated Detroit on the scoreboard. As it has for most of the season, the Cardinals defense carried the team, forcing four Lions turnovers, including two interceptions returned for touchdowns. Matt Stafford was held to a QB Rating of only 37.6 and Arizona limited Detroit's rushing attack to a mere 84 yards on 22 carries.
Meanwhile, QB Ryan Lindley wasn't spectacular but turned the ball over only one time on the afternoon. RB Beanie Wells reached pay dirt on three occasions, finishing with 67 yards on 17 carries.
All-Pro wideout Larry Fitzgerald's output continues to be minimal (4 catches for 22 yards) but the flow of the game didn't call for taking many shots down the field.
While the Cardinals have little to play for, their Week 16 opponent does as the Chicago Bears will head to the desert. The Bears are still in the thick of the playoff picture and desperately need a win to keep their fading hopes alive. After a 7-1 start, Chicago has dropped five of its last six games and are currently on the outside looking in as the seventh seed in the NFC.
Arizona will attempt to play spoiler this week as a win would almost certainly seal the fate of the Bears' postseason aspirations. The Cardinals looked rejuvenated and relieved following its fifth victory of the year on Sunday but coming out on top against a desperate Bears team could prove to be a difficult proposition.

If you think old "American Idol" finalists tend to fade from the scene, how about finalists from "So You Think You Can Dance"? Even the winners there can fade into obscurity, if only because it's more difficult to get a high profile dancing gig than one involving singing.
The answer of "whatever happened to" a few of the old "So You Think You Can Dance" contestants comes now via the release of two DVD releases of dance/exercise videos.
"So You Think You can Dance Get Fit" due out on DVD July 21, "fans can tone and sculpt their bodies by moving along with the incredible dancers from the show as they demonstrate easy-to-follow routines in a variety of dance genres," according to a press release.
On "Tone and Groove" Stephen Boss, better known as Twitch, teaches conditioning muscles; Dmitry Chaplin helps tighten abs through the Cha Cha. And Katee Shehan uses jazz to help viewrs stretch out.
A second release, subtitled "Cardio Funk" Courtney Galiano does a routine to disco, Travis Wall does a contemporary routine and Lauren Gottlieb does her workout to hip hop.
You can almost hear your trainer squealing like Mary Murphy.
