Grand Rapids man pleads guilty to felony burglary
A convicted felon arrested in April after a two-hour standoff with police in Grand Rapids pleaded guilty Tuesday to felony burglary.
Steven Lee Carpenter, 25, of Grand Rapids was charged with one count of burglary in the first degree. Carpenter and a juvenile allegedly stole a firearm and other items from a residence on April 14. According to the criminal complaint, a man entering his apartment interrupted the burglary. He discovered several items — including a 9 mm pistol with two 10-round magazines — were missing.
A police officer followed footprints from the apartment and saw a person matching the description of the intruder. When the officer called to him, the suspect fled on foot into a nearby residence. A crisis negotiator made contact with the suspects and was able to get them to exit the residence about 4:30 p.m. They were arrested without incident.
Law enforcement officers found the missing handgun — with a full magazine, loaded, with a round in the chamber and the hammer cocked — in the apartment, the complaint said.
Carpenter's criminal record includes a 2012 conviction for felony burglary. According to the complaint, he is on supervised probation for the offense, and has violated his probation multiple times.
If a judge accepts Tuesday's negotiated plea, Carpenter will serve a guideline sentence of 58 months in prison. Carpenter is being held in the Itasca County Jail pending the July 9 sentencing hearing.

ARINC conducted a two day border security workshop in San Jose at the beginning of August with Costa Rica's Dirección General de Migración y Extranjería (DGME Immigration Agency).
Responsible for conducting immigration control at all ports in Costa Rica, the DGME selected ARINC in 2009 as an Advance Passenger Information System provider, based upon its product reliability, cost efficiency and technical expertise.
Costa Rica became the first Latin American country to implement API messaging in 2006 to enhance its immigration control and monitoring capabilities.
The workshop, which was approved by Mrs Kathy Rodriguez Araica, the DGME's Director, maintained a focus upon the positive results of the implementation of ARINC's Aviation API system, addressing both regional and local security trends and concerns, sharing best practices and identifying areas that require further enhancement.
"The workshop proved to be extremely productive and insightful," said Vivian Castillo, DGME's program manager. ARINC and the DGME discussed many ideas which will enhance our border security and which we would like to implement in the near-to-mid term."
Information about new technology trends to further improve the DGME's border security capabilities was also discussed at the workshop with an enhanced collaboration with ARINC. Information obtained by the DGME can be utilized to establish technical requirements for the advancement of the aviation and maritime API system.
ARINC conducts the border security workshops with each customer on an annual or semi-annual basis to stimulate ideas and broaden the vision of both the customer and ARINC in how to further enhance border security on an individual level. The sessions are considered an essential part of ARINC's Electronic Government (eGov) portfolio of solutions.
"ARINC is honored to have the opportunity to work closely with the DGME," said Yun Chong, ARINC Vice President, Global Networks and IT Solutions. "I look forward to enhancing our collaboration and playing an important role in improving Costa Rica's immigration control."

Discussion in 'Draft Zone' started by Hostile, Apr 21, 2011.
When is free agency going to start? <--- big question for QB needy teams.
Well, no one clearly knows. BUT, I'd bet that a veteran QB is going to be far more ready than C Newton whenever football does start.
I agree that Carolina needs something to stimulate their fan base, etc., but I would just go about it differently. I just think that gambling on Newton can really set back their franchise even further. I suppose it's short term vs. long term perspective. Maybe Carolina is worried that they can't fill any stadium seats without Newton . . . . I understand from the financial perspective. But if Newton bombs, it's going to get even uglier.
Good point.
Sounds like Denver is shopping their pick too.
To Houston, who I think would take Von Miller.
I think Denver might be trying to sell the draft for next year's Andrew Luck sweepstakes.
If he bombs, he bombs. But if not, he can really change the face of the NFC South.
That is FOR SURE
Carolina has a strong fan base....they were 6th in the entire league in attendace last season.
Furthermore, just bringing in a new coaching staff after all of these years has lit a fire under those fans.
They were one demensional with no pasing game last year due to throwing Clausen out there to the wolves. They need receiving help badly and it would help if they had a good veteran QB so they can maybe take some time too grrom the young guys and see for sure if they wasted picks on Clausen and Pike last year.
I'd take AJ Green or Dareus. I'm sure they'd love to trade down a few slots and maybe even take Julio Jones or Gabbert.
Word is they havent had any calls for the pick

Have Mental Health Questions? Ask a Psychiatrist Online
Hello- Thank you for asking the question. I have over 30 years of experience working with individuals, couples and families & am happy to reply.
I am happy to help with this.
Success Anxiety is based in fear and panic and effects millions of people world wide at varying degrees.
It, like other anxiety disorders can be quite debilitating for those who are fearful of achievement or success. This has nothing to do with a persons I.Q. or desire. It is a psychological and neurochemical issues that is treatable with a variety of cognitive behavioral therapy approaches and in many cases with medication.
It's normal to worry and feel tense or scared when under pressure or facing a stressful situation. Anxiety is the body's natural response to danger, an automatic alarm that goes off when you feel threatened.
In moderation, anxiety isn't always a bad thing. In fact, anxiety can help you stay alert and focused, spur you to action, and motivate you to solve problems. But when anxiety is constant or overwhelming, when it interferes with your relationships and activities, it stops being functional—that's when you've crossed the line from normal, productive anxiety into the territory of anxiety disorders.
People who have success anxiety experiencing the constant and overwhelming sensations as related above which inhibit their ability to achieve or accomplish tasks or goals as they desire.
The following link addresses why some people cannot handle success:
As you will see in the article:
"People are driven to feel that they can predict and control their outcomes," said co-researcher Jason Plaks, a social psychologist at the University of Toronto. "So when their performance turns out to violate their predictions, this can be unnerving—even if the outcome is, objectively speaking, good news."
The treatment for Success Anxiety and other related anxiety is address in depth at the following link:
I trust that this has served to answer your question. You can "Continue the conversation" if you have follow up related to this.
Otherwise, I wish you the very best.
Thanks, Bill

EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. -- Brett Favre isn't the only one who's hurting. The Minnesota Vikings are beat up in many ways.
Their Super Bowl aspirations are in serious trouble, after falling to 2-5 following Sunday's loss at New England . According to sports researcher STATS, three teams have made the playoffs in the last 20 years after starting the season 2-5.
With five of their next seven games at home, the Vikings have a chance to start catching up, but time is running out.
Coach Brad Childress said Monday that Favre told him he was feeling fine after a hard hit to the chin knocked him out of the game against the Patriots. Favre played through two fractures in his left foot and produced one of his best games this season.
But it wasn't enough.

Energy Bill Will Benefit MTBE Makers
California senators likely to oppose certain provisions in measure.
WASHINGTON -- The House and Senate are expected to vote this week on a federal energy bill designed to boost energy production, improve reliability of the electricity grids and make it easier for energy companies to develop oil and gas on federal land, according to the Associated Press.
The bill would benefit manufacturers of the gasoline additive MTBE because congressional negotiators agreed to protect them from product liability lawsuits. MTBE has been found to contaminate drinking water.
The Republican-drafted bill has raised the ire of California's Democratic legislators, who contend that it jeopardizes the environment, subsidizes midwestern states and does little to prevent the type of misconduct that fueled the state's energy crisis, the Associated Press reported.
Resistance is likely in the narrowly divided Senate. California Democrats Dianne Feinstein and Barbara Boxer indicated Friday that they oppose various provisions, including one that would shield makers of MTBE from product liability lawsuits.
"It sounds like those who poisoned our water with MTBE will get off scot-free," Boxer said in a statement.
California is phasing out MTBE, and it is supposed to be banned from gasoline in the state starting Jan. 1.
"I think California's hurt more by this legislation than any other state in the country," said Rep. Henry Waxman of Los Angeles, a member of the House Energy and Commerce Committee and ranking Democrat on the Committee on Government Reform.
"It could lead to weakening of our environment in California, it gives special breaks to the energy industries and it's going to cost Californians a lot of money for no purpose," he said, according to the AP report.
Republicans disagree, saying the bill, the first major overhaul of the nation's energy policy in a decade, will increase supply, streamline bureaucracy and encourage the use of renewable energy sources such as solar, wind and biodiesel.
Republicans in the GOP-controlled Congress finished a draft of the bill Friday, setting the stage for near-certain approval in the House, the AP reported.

This logo first appeared on the self-released sleeve of "HotStepper".
This logo first appeared on the cover of their mixtape "The Stooshtape" and on the promotional single sleeve "Betty Woz Gone", both in 2011. And it appeared on the sleeve for their first official single "Love Me" in 2012.
This logo appeared twice in 2012 on the sleeves for "Black Heart" and "Waterfalls". It might have been the logo for their debut album "Swings and Roundabouts" which was held back (see below).
This logo was supposed to be for their debut self-titled album "Stooshe" originally "Swings and Roundabouts" but was held back yet again (see below). The logo was never used.
This logo appeared three times in 2013, first as the logo for their forth official single "Slip", then two weeks later for the release of their highly anticipated debut album "London With The Lights On", and then for their fifth official single and forth from the album ("Waterfalls" is a non-album single), "My Man Music".
This logo appeared on the art work for their first single from their second album, "Lock Down" in 2016 (but the artwork was released in 2015), and on the cover of the second single "Let It Go".

Does anyone know if there is a technical hurdle preventing DirecTV from offering a cable card tuner?
CNET's Forum on home audio, video & TVs is the best source for finding help, troubleshooting, or buying advice from a community of experts. Discussions cover types of HDTVs (ranging from plasmas, LCDs to OLEDs), TV resolutions (1080p to 4K), audio and video components, HDMI, home theater setups, audio speakers, Blu-ray, and many other A/V related questions and topics.
Does anyone know if there is a technical hurdle preventing DirecTV from offering a cable card tuner?
First, I don't want another box -- let alone another remote.
Second, I have a TV and TiVo Series 3 that both support cable cards. I'd need 2 DirecTV boxes to drive the TiVo alone. And yes, I do prefer TiVo's UI over any I've seen from cable companies, not to mention the constantly expanding array of services (remote scheduling, TiVo to Go, Live365, podcasts, etc.) make it compelling.
Third, Cable Cards will be around for a while. FCC rules are actually making them more prevalent and most new cable boxes will end up having a card plugged in the back. That is until cable finalizes a software solution.
Is a cable card an ideal solution? No. But, it is part of the evolutionary process, is better than the clutter and wiring of multiple boxes, and slightly more elegant.
The question still remains -- is there a technical hurdle that prohibits DirecTV (or Dish Network for that matter) from offering a cable card solution?
cable card can be used for many different cable companies.
directtv is just directtv and not everyone can get it like they could with cable. it requires an access card. it'll be a lot harder to make a "standard" access card thing cause dishnetwork and other satellite companies are SOOOOOOOOO different then direct tv.
a while back, RCA had a tube tv WITH an access card slot in it. it didnt sell too hot but i've had a few customers who bought it. if they are able to develope a cablecard like device that fits into standard cable card slots, but will let you slide in your access card also....it might work pretty well. but dish companies are just sooooooo different from each other....it'll be hard to incoorporate it into different tv's to be profitable.

I have been decorating cakes for 12 years now and have never used fondant. I did make a purse handle out of fondant one time, I put it in refrgerator and it "flopped" Do you leave fondant cakes set out and fondant figures? Are there any tips that can help me with making fondant into different things? I would love it if anyone can help me with these questions, thanks so much in advance
To make a purse handle, you are best off adding some Tylose powder to your fondant, using a 50/50 mix of fondant & gum paste or using straight gum paste. I prefer Wilton fondant for figure and shapes, it is stiffer and holds up better than other brands (its also cheaper and generally people won't eat figures or shapes that are dried anyway so the taste isn't a factor). Let it dry before putting it in the fridge and make sure the cake is not in an airtight container (cardboard box or just set on the platter is best). If you have a very humid fridge, do not put fondant in your fridge. You can test with a piece of fondant on a cupcake to see how your fridge handles it. Also, search through the forums on here, there is a lot of wonderful information.
Thanks so much for the info! It's sad to say I haven't really used fondant and have been decorating for a while now. I've only been doing cakes at grocery stores and I am very limited to what I can do there. I want to do bigger and better things basically. I have been wanting to have my own business on the side at home. I have a big baby shower coming up I have a wonderful idea as to what I want the cake to look like. The hard part is since I haven't used fondant I am not sure how the turn out will be. Basically, I need to make a 3d monkey sitting on top of a cake, and I have a teddy bear cake pan that I was thinking about using for the monkey and then using fondant to make the arms legs and tail etc. I actually have a wilton cake decorating book with a smaller monkey in it and it does have instructions, but not exact instructions on how to make the fondant legs and tail. Do you have any ideas that can help me with this?
If you've never worked with fondant before, you should definitely practice. I started out by taking the Wilton classes and found it was an excellent foundation (I was lucky to have a wonderful teacher). If you have the chance to take the classes, you should. I find hands on is the best way for me to learn, then I was able to take that foundation and use the internet (mostly this site) to learn a whole lot more, and of course, practice, practice, practice and more practice. Trial and error does account for a lot. I know AC Moore is only $20 for the 4 week courses, you may be able to contact the instructor and see if they feel like you would benefit from basics or if you have enough skills to go directly to the fondant class - that would really depend on what you are already proficient at.
Yes. I am definetly going to need practice. I tell everyone who asks me how I learned the same thing... As for classes I would love to take one it's just trying to find time to do it since I work at a grocery store it's hard to have a set schedule. I did take a wedding cake course 8 years ago and I actually already knew everything they did ... But I think I would benefit better in a class since I learn from watching and hands on. This is a great helpful site, I just became a memeber and already I am learning. I know the michaels by my house has fondant classes i forget how much, but for 20 dollars at acmoore I think would be great. Thanks again
Fondant is sugar paste and when exposed to humidity it will melt...or 'flop'. Don't put fondant figures in the fridge if you can avoid it. They won't dry there. Use gum paste for items that need to be hard and dry faster. Wilton's makes a pre-made gum paste that works great. You can get it very thin...unlike fondant...and it will hold it's shape. I hate putting Tylose in fondant. It just makes it dry and hard to work with to me.
If you can get (or make) modeling chocolate, those are best for figures IMO. It's very soft and easier to smooth...but it never completely dries.
Use fondant for your decor like you would play dough! Cut circles, shapes, flowers...there's really nothing you can't do with it.
If you have a cake in mind that you want to copy, just look at it and ask yourself (or anyone here) how do I get there? What is it I need in order to make this happen? Use Google search and find tutorials...especially on YouTube. You don't need to take classes to learn how to use fondant to decorate. COVERING a cake is another story! I still don't know how to do that! Good luck and have fun with it!
I really don't know why I put it in the fridge but when I took it out and it was hard I figured oh ok it's going to stay, little did I know when I put it on the cake it got soft again but sinc I have no experience I didn't know any better but now I willl know for next time. I'm actually a bit behind in technology I just got the internet again and I'm so glad I found this site to get help with the thing I love most. So modeling chocolate is for figures, would I use that for a monkey tail legs and arms?

I like the idea of reviewing a game based on how much I'd be willing to pay for the product. For instance, I think Mass Effect 3 is worth $40 and not a dollar more. On the other hand, Skyrim for PC would be worth a $50 dollar price tag, while its console counterparts would be $45 for the 360 version and $35 for the PS3 version. (Can you tell I was burned by the PS3 copy of Skyrim?)
Instead of using a numerical system of 1-10, reviewers could use this new subjective system because it would no longer lump games of different genres to the same score. Gamers, always intent on bitching about something, would focus their complaints on what they'd be willing to pay for a game instead of comparing one websites score to another.
As an example, let's say Colin Moriarty (BEYOND), who gave Mass Effect 3 a 9.5, thought ME3 was worth fifty-dollars. Obviously complaints would be written. But, instead of comments like, "Searching for a new game reviewing site in progress" or "Collins doing it? Let me guess... PS3 is the amazing version, all others are obsolete, SONY ftw, herp deep.", we'd see comments like, "I think it's worth $60" or "Mass Effect sucks, you couldn't pay me to play that piece of shit." All the comments are shit, bad example.
Anyways, IGN gave Street Fighter X Tekken, Journey, and SSX Tricky a 9.0.

Black sea & Crimean Coats: Pacific Princess Cruise Review by chrislingard
Overall Member Rating
Black sea & Crimean Coats
Destination: Europe - Black Sea
Embarkation: Athens (Piraeus)
The restaurant is particularly pleasant and the food/choice of was excellent - much better than the sister ship Ocean Princess, that we sailed on in May. Choice at the buffet breakfast was superb and freshly cooked eggs to order.
The only let down as far as staff were concerned, were the rude Reception staff - but we've found this on other ships and it must be something to do with the job. Our cabin & restaurant staff were excellent.
The cruise itself was interesting - good to see some of the More places in the Black sea, but I'm not sure I'd want to back. we couldn't get into Yalta (Ukraine) because if high winds & rough seas, which was a shame. Weather in mid Sept was generally fine, but I'd not want to go any later. Less
Published 11/04/13
Cabin review:
Mini suites are really worth the extra money - a decent sized cabin with lots of storage, good sized balcony and a full sized bath, with overhead shower.

Today is our official moving day. The phone line has been moved to our new place, the internet is out of action and so I put pen to paper.
This morning was crazy busy, but I am so glad we organised things the way we did. All three MissyMoos were ready and we were out the door before 7:30am. Hubby was not working today so he could do some moving, and he was up and at 'em super early, taking bed frames apart and getting everything ready for the removalists. Just as I was leaving with the MissyMoos, the truck pulled up.
I dropped MissyMoo1 (7) off at B's and B took her to school with her kids (as it was way too early to drop her at school at that time), then I drove the 40 minutes to Nonna and Par's house to leave MissyMoo2 (4) and MissyMoo3 (2) there for the day, then I turned back and backtracked 20 minutes to go to work.
When asked by a colleague why I was at work on moving day, I honestly replied: "To escape." Poor Hubby, I think he got the raw end of the deal having the day off work! But he worked hard with the moving - he did wonderfully and the place looked great when I got home in the evening.
There are still some things left to bring over from the old house, but the big stuff is done and we're sleeping in the new place tonight, so we can safely say:

Shinjo Itao was a bushi of the Unicorn Clan.
Early Years Edit
Itao's parents were both appointed by the Unicorn Clan Champion himself to travel and establish a foothold in the Colonies. Itao was born there, and he considered these lands his home. [1] When Itao was a boisterous young man, he ran afoul a group of rowdy sailors during one drunking night. He harbored resentment against the Mantis, so he honed his iaijutsu skills with the hope one day proving his strength to the Mantis in honorable combat. [2]
Station Edit
When representatives of the Empire arrived to the Second City, Itao escorted them to their new quarters. In 1198 he warned the Kuni Daimyo Kuni Renyu about the demeanor of the Imperial Governor of the Colonies Otomo Suikihime. Itao became Renyu's link to the Unicorn. [1]
Naga Temples Edit
Itao was the cousin of Shinjo Kinto. The two led an expedition into Naga temples, at the behest of the Mara, to recover Naga artifacts. Itao and Kinto also brought the ronin Chuo and his nephew Karui to help. [3]

This was written by Felicia Baratz of Eat Breathe Blog.
When we think of air pollution, we tend to think of smog smothering cities and plumes of exhaust chugging out of factories and vehicles every day. But for all that industrial imagery, the worst pollution may be in the air you breathe in the comfort of your own home. According to the Environmental Protection Agency, indoor air pollution can be much worse than what you face outdoors – approximately two to five times worse, according to research.
But many people are unaware of the factors that contribute to indoor air pollution. As a result, these pollutants continue to pose a threat in many homes. In order to protect yourself and your family from the potential health complications of breathing highly polluted indoor air, you need to understand the source of these pollutants. Here are the most common causes.
Image courtesy of Gusset
Stagnant Air
A lack of air circulation in the home can allow dust and other air contaminants to settle indoors and be continually recycled as a home's residents inhale and exhale. This creates the potential for long-term respiratory problems. Simple solutions include opening the windows when the weather is nice and circulating air through your furnace or air conditioner.
Poor Air Filtration
The flip side to air circulation is that, in order for it be effective, you need to have functioning filters in place. Air conditioner filters and furnace filters can strain dust, dander and other pollutants out of the air, but they fill up over time and become less effective the longer they're used. Make sure you replace air conditioner and furnace filters as they get old to keep these air cleansing features effective.
Wood-burning fireplaces and gas stoves may have an aesthetic appeal, but they can fill your home with unhealthy burning by-products. Proper ventilation can go a long way toward minimizing the impact these features can have on your home, but abstaining from or limiting their use will decrease the amount of pollutants they put into your air.
Cleaning Products
Harsh chemicals and cleaning products can give off fumes that can be inhaled without even realizing it. Stick to non-toxic chemicals whenever possible and keep rooms well-ventilated when those products are in use. Even seemingly safe products like air fresheners work essentially by releasing pollutants into your air, so keep in mind the potential air quality effects when using these products in your home.
Outdoor Sources
It's possible for outdoor air pollution sources to enter the home and contribute to poor interior conditions. One of the most common outdoor influences is radon, a radioactive gas that can enter into the home from underground. Radon is odorless and can only be confirmed by performing radon testing in the home, but if found there are ways to install ventilation that will keep radon out of your home.
Although indoor air quality tends to be poor in relation to the outdoors, awareness of this unseen threat can allow for simple, proactive steps to be taken that dramatically improve air quality. Whether it's cracking a window or replacing an air filter, small steps can go a long way toward preserving your long-term health. In extreme cases, you might be able to reduce the risk of chronic respiratory problems that can reduce your quality of life.

Sometimes arrogance might come into play but that's only when my maturity is not matched with the level of confidence, ye imbalance causes arrogance for me.

This transformation has given the rooms a complete re-design with clean lines and cool decor to complement the stunning mountain scenery. There's LED lighting, flatscreen TVs and even the hotel's signature deep-soaker bathtubs in the bathrooms.
After the mountain has got the better of you, you can unwind in the large outdoor pool, or relax muscles in the sauna and hot tub. If you're up for a bit of retail therapy, or are feeling peckish, the Crystal Lodge has over 20 onsite shops and restaurants, including the Spaghetti Factory, Beacon Pub & Eatery, Basalt Wine & Salumeria and the Wild Wood Pacific Bistro.

Author has written 4 stories for Teen Titans, Harry Potter, Jak and Daxter, and Avatar: Last Airbender.
Hey loves,
My name is insert here. I enjoy sarcasm, muggles and ancient Babylonian architecture.
Harry Potter--the wizard who pulled a 'Jesus'
David Bowie--the wild eyed alien rock star
John Lennon--my favorite communist
Avatar: the last Airbender--the four elements never looked so good
Gorillaz--a virtual band with virtually amazing music
Jak and Daxter--the wisecracking, timetraveling duo
Once I finish 'Storybender' I'll probably take a bit of a hiatus from fanfiction to work on some original fiction. I apologize if you were waiting for an update on any of my other stories, but I simply don't have the time or creative energy at the moment. I am suffering from a severe case of Senioritis, and the only cure is more cowbell. If you have one, please send a FedEx truck to the second star on the left and straight on 'till morning. Ciao.

Skillet Potatoes
Recipe by Kim127
I came up with this recipe for the 11th RSC contest. I used red skinned potatoes but other types would work just as well. I boiled mine, but leftover baked potatoes would work also. These worked well with as a side dish with steak or with eggs for breakfast. We've also eaten them as the main dish. If you want a little more kick, increase the cayenne pepper to 1/4 teaspoon.
Top Review by Realtor by day
Great potatoes! We loved them. I also served them with eggs and it was a wonderful combination of flavors. Thanks, Kim127.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To suppress a continuous vibration phenomenon of an electric system generated during regenerative control.
SOLUTION: A vibration suppression control part confirms whether an operating point exists in a maximum torque region, or in a throttling region, based on a q-axis current command value Isq* and a filter capacitor voltage Vf. When it is decided that the point is in the throttling region, only a steady value is changed while the ratio in throttling the q-axis current command value Isq* in the throttling region is unchanged. Moreover, the direction for the change is a direction to make the q-axis current command value Isq* to be reduced (to be directed to '0').

In light of two recent house explosions due to natural gas seepage Gov. Tom Corbett has decided he will ban all smoking in Pennsylvania. The extreme measure will result in a substantial revenue loss but he thinks cutting medical reimbursements to hospitals for lung cancer treatments will offset the loss. A man was standing in his driveway in McKean County when his house blew up. Gas seeping up from hydraulic fracking in the area exploded within the house (another home also blew up in the area) and gas workers confirmed the natural gas lines to the home were intact and not leaking.
As a result Corbett feels it is becoming too dangerous for residents of the Commonwealth to smoke. Anywhere. Gas is now leaking into water supplies, pastures and homes. Therefore smoking and the lighting of anything flammable is becoming too dangerous. His first solution is to eliminate cigarette and cigar smoking. Cooking, fireplaces and furnaces may be next in his fight to protect the industry from interference and regulation.
The Governor will go to any length to protect an industry which contributed almost a million dollars to his campaign. With this action today he will officially get into bed with the drillers. I'd ask whether he's a top or bottom but I figure if you're in bed with drillers you're taking it up the ass. Anyone who thought Corbett, with his blue eyes and handsome face would stop short of prostituting himself to become Governor is an April Fool.

Matching phosphorylation response patterns of antigen-receptor-stimulated T cells via flow cytometry
Proceedings from the Great Lakes Bioinformatics Conference 2011
Great Lakes Bioinformatics Conference 2011
When flow cytometric data on mixtures of cell populations are collected from samples under different experimental conditions, computational methods are needed (a) to classify the samples into similar groups, and (b) to characterize the changes within the corresponding populations due to the different conditions. Manual inspection has been used in the past to study such changes, but high-dimensional experiments necessitate developing new computational approaches to this problem. A robust solution to this problem is to construct distinct templates to summarize all samples from a class, and then to compare these templates to study the changes across classes or conditions.
We designed a hierarchical algorithm, flowMatch, to first match the corresponding clusters across samples for producing robust meta-clusters, and to then construct a high-dimensional template as a collection of meta-clusters for each class of samples. We applied the algorithm on flow cytometry data obtained from human blood cells before and after stimulation with anti-CD3 monoclonal antibody, which is reported to change phosphorylation responses of memory and naive T cells. The flowMatch algorithm is able to construct representative templates from the samples before and after stimulation, and to match corresponding meta-clusters across templates. The templates of the pre-stimulation and post-stimulation data corresponding to memory and naive T cell populations clearly show, at the level of the meta-clusters, the overall phosphorylation shift due to the stimulation.
We concisely represent each class of samples by a template consisting of a collection of meta-clusters (representative abstract populations). Using flowMatch, the meta-clusters across samples can be matched to assess overall differences among the samples of various phenotypes or time-points.
In multiparametric flow cytometry, fluorophore-conjugated antibodies are used to measure the expression of multiple markers expressed on the surface and within the interior of cells in a given sample. As cells flow in a fluid stream, excitation by laser causes the fluorochrome with the attached antibodies to emit light of a specific wavelength, and the detected fluorescence intensity gives a measure of the identity and amount of expression of the different markers per cell
The idea of characterizing a sample - a collection of cells - with clusters can be extended to characterizing a cohort or class - a collection of samples - with a higher-level technical description. Towards this end, we assume that samples belonging to a particular class show homogeneous clustering, by which we mean that at least some of the populations correspond from sample to sample. Such clusters have small distances from corresponding clusters in other samples of that class, when an appropriate measure of distance is used. We note that clusters from samples belonging to different classes might not have such correspondences. Under this assumption, we can summarize the samples of a class with a class template by algorithmically merging similar populations from different samples into meta-clusters. A meta-cluster is an abstract population formed by grouping together similar cell populations across samples, and the template of a class is the collection of all the meta-clusters constructed in this manner. For convenience, an illustration of these concepts is shown in Figure
Figure 1
Example. Meta-clusters and a class template: Construction of a class template by merging three samples. Cells are denoted with dots, clusters with solid ellipses and meta-clusters with dashed black ellipses.
Recently developed computational methods for flow cytometry have focused on automating gating via clustering
The ability to systematically characterize a class of multi-dimensional samples with a well-defined template - in terms of its meta-cluster components - is useful in applications of flow cytometry. In addition to providing a cogent description of the core population structure that is shared among samples within a class, the templates also allow an objective way to assess the overall differences in those structures across classes. Here we applied the concepts of template and meta-cluster in quantifying tyrosine phosphorylation differences in different CD4+ T cell populations in a cohort of thirty human subjects, before and after stimulation of whole blood with anti-CD3 monoclonal antibody (mAb)
To address the problem of systematic template construction, we designed and developed an agglomerative hierarchical meta-clustering algorithm, flowMatch, that is similar in spirit to the well-known UPGMA clustering algorithm
In a recent approach, FLAME, Pyne et. al.
Results and discussion
We analyzed raw flow cytometric data generated
We consider each sample as a mixture of Gaussian components and used Dirichlet Process Mixture (DPM) Model for the clustering
Class templates
We first construct templates from the ten well-clustered samples before stimulation (pre-stimulation template) and after stimulation (post-stimulation template). The two templates are shown in Figure

Templates. Structures of templates: Templates from ten well-clustered samples before (left) and after (right) stimulation (projection into three dimensions, ZAP70 is not shown). In a template, each meta-cluster is indicated with a distinct color; four meta-clusters are present in each template. Corresponding meta-clusters across templates are plotted with the same color. Naive CD4+CD45RAhigh T cell population is colored in blue, and Memory CD4+CD45RAlow T cell population is colored in red. Details of the clusters in each meta-cluster are shown in Table 1.

Stability of templates
The flowMatch algorithm builds a binary merge forest with the class templates at the roots of the trees, by merging a pair of samples or sub-templates at a time. Let

The leaves denote original samples and are marked with numerical labels. The internal nodes indicate sub-templates with the final template at the root. The cost of forming a sub-template (the merge cost of two children) is also shown at each non-leaf node.
A large template cost indicates heterogeneity among the samples participating in the template construction. How much heterogeneity (merge cost) should we tolerate while building a template? We argue that any pair of samples taken from different classes (pre- and post-stimulation) should be more heterogenous than a pair of samples in the same class. For example, when we consider the ten samples that are well-clustered, the pre-stim template and post-stim template costs are respectively 20 and 21.9 in Figure
Figure 5
fullTree. The merge forest of thirty samples: The hierarchy of sample-merges to construct templates from all thirty samples after stimulation. Numerical labels are used to denote samples at the leaves. Unstable sub-templates are indicated with broken red lines. The costs of the unstable sub-templates are also shown in their corresponding nodes.
We concisely represent each class of samples by a template consisting of a collection of meta-clusters (representative abstract populations). We have developed a hierarchical template formation algorithm, flowMatch, that is able to construct representative class templates in the presence of tolerable variations in the samples. Using flowMatch, the meta-clusters across samples can be matched to assess overall differences among the samples of various phenotypes or time-points.
Problem description
Formation of templates: the flowMatch algorithm
We use a bottom-up pairwise merging of samples to construct class templates. The procedure constructs a binary forest, where initial samples are leaves, and the roots of the trees are the class templates for the subset of samples in each tree. If there is only one tree in the forest, then all the samples have one class template. In Figure

My fellow Arabelle and I finally made it down to the oceanfront around noon time. It was as if I could hear the waves calling my name! I know it sounds corny as heck, but for someone who had never truly seen the beach up close until adulthood, it was like stumbling onto another planet. We were about to take our first steps on the sand when my roomie grabbed my wrist.
"Now, Arabelle, don't you know that you are to remove them shoes before you get on the beach? I like to take 'em off to prevent 'em from gettin' too filled with sand. Good thing all I packed were ma flipflops!" She was a special person, that's for sure. Never did I imagine that someone with such a noticable twang in their speech could also turn out to be so well-spoken……at times.
"Uh, I guess you're right. This….is my first time to the beach." I said, still shaken (for no good reason) from her sudden wrist grab.
"ANY BEACH?" Said the wide-eyed wonder.
"Yes. Any beach. You see, I'm from Montana, a place that has weather and terrain that is the polar opposite of down here. It's…..kinda the reason I chose this school. Well, that and the engineering program."
"That's pretty darn interestin', if I do say so myself."
We started toward the waves, the soft and soothing sand grains massaging my feet after being on them all day was such a treat. My eyes took in the panoramic view of the atlantic ocean, beach that stretched for miles and miles. When we finally arrived at the water, I started to have an uncontrollable urge to jump up and down like a little toddler, but my incoming adult senses knew better.
"Oh my, it's sooo cold! Is all beach water like this?" I asked as I started to roll my Salvation Army blue jeans up to my knees.
"All the beach water that's ever touched my body, at least. Say, don't you think you feel a little hot with all of that clothing on? I mean, it's darn near ninety degrees! That flowy lil long-sleeved blouse you have on is cute and all, but long sleeves are only for the coldest of cold days 'round my neck of the woods." Said the other Arabelle, perplexed.
"Well, I think we just come from different environments is all. I am from
the land of ice and snow, and you're from, well, fire and……….more fire."
We both chuckled, although her's was in much more of an "I guess I get it now" kinda way. In all honesty, the I feel I'd be lying if I tried to blame my lack of warm-weather clothing on the fact I am from a nothern state. My incredibly chubby figure, I figured, was not at all meant to be seen in anything other than what I almost always wore: long-ish sleeves and baggy blue jeans. As much as I wanted to change my dressing habits, I just couldn't see it happening.
After our splashes were had, we agreed to grab some lunch at an oceanside crab shack about a mile from the school.
"Have you ever had some crab? I know you didn't grow up near the ocean, but EVERYONE'S had crab before they're eighteen, right?" Questioned Arabelle.
"This will actually be my first time! Maybe you can show me how to eat them, looks like a tough task." I replied.
We were immediately seated when we arrived, even though the place was crawling with people. The restaraunt was a nice little blue-painted shack called "Da Crab Joint" and crab-filled it was. It wasn't long before we were greeted by a very handsome waiter with a thick, spanish accent and super bright and friendly smile.
"Hello, ladies! Welcome to the restaraunt! Is this the first time here, for the both of you?" He said in an ever-so genuine manner.
"WHY, YES.IT.IS! You see, me and my homegirl here just got down here for school! We go to the U of Miami! And…guess.what.else………WE ARE BOTH NAMED ARABELLE!" Just when I thought my name twin couldn't outdo herself anymore, she proves me wrong.
"Oh my, how amazing! You see, I come from Spain and have only been here a few years, so it's always nice to meet new people. Now, let's see, can I start you girls off with something to drink?"
"I'll have the shirley temple!" Said flame-haired Arabelle.
"Ok, and for you, my sweetie?"
I legitimately paused for close to ten seconds, not realizing he was talking to me until I snapped to it.
"Um….uh……I will just have some water with lemon."
"Okay. Thanks for the order. I will be back to get your entrees whenever you are ready. Take your time."
It seriously wasn't even a split friggin second after he left when my roomate tightly grabbed my hand and proceeded to speak in a high whisper.
"OH MY GOODNESS. DID YOU NOTICE THAT? He was super nice to you. Did you see that way he was staring at you?"
"Ummmm, I'm pretty sure he would have called you 'sweetie' if you had ordered after me, also. He is just a friendly man." I said, trying to get her to change the subject.
"I guess, hun, but that was some serious eye he was givin' you! Anywho, let's talk fam! I see your mom is quite the lady! I assume you take more after your dad, though, because your mom looks more like she could be my own!"
It was as if the all the loudness of the restaurant came to a screeching halt after she uttered those words.
"Father?" I said to myself, quietly.
