ASMS 2014 - Genedata AG Enhances Mass Spectrometry Software For Biopharma Workflows
Published: Jun 16, 2014
Baltimore, MA, USA - June 16, 2014 --Genedata, a leading provider of advanced software solutions for drug discovery and life science research, today announced that the latest version of Genedata Expressionist for Mass Spectrometry (MS) will be showcased at the 62nd ASMS Conference on Mass Spectrometry and Allied Topics. Developed in collaboration with leading mass spectrometry labs, the enterprise software platform reads data from all major mass spectrometry instruments as well as automates and standardizes complex workflows in biopharmaceutical R&D. With a scalable architecture that enables processing of huge experimental data sets, the system reduces data analysis times by factors of ten or more to accelerate the identification and quantification of critical quality attributes of biopharmaceuticals.
Genedata will demonstrate Genedata Expressionist for MS at Booth 57 at the 2014 ASMS Conference (Baltimore Convention Center; June 15-19, 2014).
Vendor-agnostic Solution Standardizes Characterization of Biopharmaceuticals Today, characterization of biopharmaceuticals using mass spectrometry is a standard process within biopharmaceutical discovery and development. While the experimental process using mass spectrometry instruments is fully automated, the analysis of MS data remains often a manual process. Genedata Expressionist for MS allows scientists to quickly and easily deliver on even the most complex and data rich characterization projects. The system covers the entire data analysis process, from raw data import over data refinement and analysis to reporting.
The software, which reads data formats from all common MS instruments, can be used as an integration platform to standardize mass spectrometry data analysis during all R&D steps. User authentication, authorization, and rigorous documentation of all processing steps ensure the system is ready for deployment in a quality-compliant environment. It is regularly used in projects that focus on the identification of impurities, assessment of post translational modifications (PTMs), and quality control of protein batches. Genedata Expressionist for MS specifically supports the analysis of intact masses, protein sequence variants, N- and C-terminals, glycopeptides, released glycans, and disulphide bonds.
"With Genedata Expressionist for MS we raise the bar on the analysis of mass spectrometry data and set new standards for the efficient characterization of biopharmaceuticals," said Dr. Othmar Pfannes, CEO of Genedata. "In close collaboration with major biopharmaceutical companies we are committed to advancing Genedata Expressionist as the vendor-agnostic platform of choice for the quality assessment of biopharmaceuticals and making key processes in biopharmaceutical R&D as efficient as possible."

There's no turning back....
For Cassie and her Circle of witches, it's hard to imagine life in New Salem getting any worse. A band of powerful witch hunters is targeting the group, determined to destroy them one by one. And Cassie's half-sister, Scarlett, won't rest until she has a spot in the Circle - even if she has to kill Cassie to get it.
The Circle's only hope against their enemies is Cassie's father's Book of Shadows - an ancient guide to the world of dark magic. But Cassie soon discovers that opening the book has grave consequences. Cassie's drawn in by the book's sinister spell, and it starts controlling her emotions and impulses, unraveling her relationship with Adam as it takes over her life.
Cassie fights against the darkness inside her as the threats against the Circle grow. But once evil is let in, she may never escape....

There are no listener reviews for this title yet.
"Went by quickly... In a Good Way"
The book went by pretty quickly actually and in a good way. It was one of those 'finish in one sitting' kind of books and leaves you somewhat wanting more and thinking that it ended well at the same time.
The Hunt builds pretty well off the previous installments and does well with throwing a couple twists and surprises throughout the series. A number of things did appear a bit (at best) predictable by my tastes but I could probably shrug this off as being due to being accustomed so much to this genre of writing I can almost predict where the author is going with some things. That being said though, some of the things that were thrown at us throughout the scope of the title even caught me by surprised and I am left anticipating the next book to see how Cassie is able to maneuver her way out of the happenings in this title.
One thing that strikes me most in these books and it is brought about a bit more if you ask me by Cassie's mother involvement in the circle... but I can't help wondering to myself.... What the heck is up with the other parents in these books?! So many things happen in these titles to leave me a bit baffled to say the least as to why all the parents of the circle members aren't more involved in what is going on. As secretive as the kids are I am sure the parents aren't oblivious enough to know something is up and that maybe their children are in mortal danger. Outside that little qualm (which I have been having since the 2nd book) the entire title was pretty enjoyable.
The entire title remained true to the series and the genre it is trying to portray and the narration was also very fitting. As before, I look forward to see the follow up to this title.
"omg the ending of this book has me twitching!"
omg the ending of this book had me twitching! I spent the 5hr thinking of what was gonna happen next was telling myself that I would buy the next one in a few days but here I am first thing in the morning buying the book.😂😂😂
"Hard to enjoy"
None of the character's are likable in Aubrey Clark's continuation of this series. I really wanted to like this book. I actually did like the plot line and thought it was a great idea. But I couldn't connect to any of the characters and I actively dislike Cassie, which made the book so hard to get through. I like that instead of just corrupting Cassie, which is like beating a dead horse at this point, we have now corrupted the entire Circle. However, Cassie is still being awful and turning to more darkness. If the next book isn't better, I'm not sure I'll make it all the way through.
"Slightly better than the last"
As with the previous book in the series, I prefer LJ's writing - but this one was a little better. The story picked up it's pace a bit and there were a few twists that I didn't see coming!
I'll be reading the next one just to see what happens.

Dallas Boat Show to be
held Feb. 3-5, 9-12
CCL Area Chamber of
Commerce will feature booth
By Sam Epps
Sports Editor
DALLAS–The Cedar Creek Lake Area Chamber of Commerce will again
represent the Cedar Creek Lake area at the annual Dallas
International Boat Show in Dallas.
The show will run Friday through Sunday, Feb 3-5, and Thursday
through Sunday, Feb. 9-12, at the Dallas Market Center.
The Dallas Market Center is located north of Downtown Dallas at
2100 Stemmons Freeway.
The boat show will be open to the public from 3 to 8 p.m.
Thursday and Fridays, from 10 a.m. until 8 p.m. Saturdays, and
from 10 a.m. until 6 p.m. Sundays.
The chamber will have a 10' by 10' booth space, and will
showcase the many boating and fishing opportunities, as well as
the many marinas, fishing businesses, activities, restaurants
and improvements the area has to offer.
The Chamber has had a presence at the Dallas Boat Show for 15
The cost of admission to the boat show $10 for adults, $5 for
children ages 6 through 12 and children age 5 and under get in
The boat show features new items from top boating and water
sports companies, as well as fishing tips and information, bait
and lure innovations, instruction on skiing, wind surfing, games
and activities for children including bubble runners.
Bubble runners are best described as "human hamster balls," and
are a unique activity most children won't have anywhere else.
In a bubble runner, a child gets into an inflatable ball. Once
inside, the ball is filled with air and off the child goes to
run, flip and bounce around. Sometimes, it is done in an
inflatable "rink," to maintain the children to one specific
Other times, they are done in a large inflatable pool of water,
as the bubble runners float and keep the child inside dry.
Fishermen will also have the opportunity to hone their skills,
learn new techniques, see new baits and check out the the newest
lines of depth finders and fish locators.
Boaters will see the new lines of boats and accessories. They
can hear sailing tips, and see how the pros do things.
Currently, there are almost 100 vendors participating in the
boat show, coming in from around Texas and the United States.
Realignment means changes
By Sam Epps
Sports Editor
CEDAR CREEK LAKE-New district alignments were set to be released
today, and it doesn't appear there will be any big surprises in
Eustace appears firmly planted in Class 2A and Mabank still
appears to be a solid 3A school.
Kemp is on the verge, however, teetering between dropping to 2A
or remaining a smaller 3A school.
In Eustace, athletics director Brian Herman explained the only
thing he isn't pretty certain of is who his Bulldogs will be
facing in the district.
In Kemp, athletics director Greg Anderson has had to make
contingency plans with his scheduling, since Kemp is in that
"gray area" between two classes.
In Mabank, athletics director Jimmy Cantrell's Panthers appear
to be a solid 3A school again.
Realignment is based on reported enrollments of students in
grades 9-12 based on the figures submitted by schools in Oct.,
Realignment is a big deal to smaller and rural school districts,
where numbers can rise and fall like the tides.
By alignment day, most football coaches have made prearranged
agreements for nondistrict games for the next two years. But
those plans can go out the window quickly if an agreed-on
opponent winds up in the same district.
Some reports speculate the classification cutoffs to be
somewhere near 2,085-plus for 5A, 1,000-2,084 for 4A, 434-999
for 3A, 296-434 for 2A Division-I, 200-295 for 2A D-II, 152-199
for 1A D-I, and 100-151 for 1A D-II.
But as we have seen in years past, the UIL can always throw
schools a curve and surprise everybody.

Eustace Lady Bulldog Casey Bramblitt (10) makes a run
past visiting Teague Lady Lion defenders Friday. Results from
the game were not available at presstime.

Publisher's Description▼▲
"Why are more churches not engaged in practical, substantial ways of taking the gospel to the nations?"
When Missions Shape the Mission unpacks a statistical study of traditionally evangelical churches that reveals their anemic level of commitment to the biblical mandate of making Christ known around the world. Veteran pastor David Horner makes the data easy to understand, challenging other pastors to radically assign their best leadership and resources to missions as he looks at where the church is today, how it got there, and where we must go from here:
"Let's dream a godly dream. What if you committed to step up and lead your church in the pursuit of becoming a mission-focused church? Then, what if you invited ten of your pastor friends to join you in the effort—and each of them did the same? What would happen to the available missions force beginning right here in the West?"
Author Bio▼▲
David Horner is the founding and senior pastor of Providence Baptist Church in Raleigh, North Carolina. He is also the author of Firmly Rooted, Faithfully Growing and A Practical Guide for Life and Ministry and speaks overseas each year in various mission contexts. Horner and his wife have three children and one grandchild.

Oh my! Summer Glau (of Joss Whedon's Firefly/Serenity) was at WonderCon. Every sci-fi geeks' crush was here talking about her new show, Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles with her fellow cast members, Thomas Dekker (who plays John Connor) and, yes, 90210's Brian Austin Green, who plays Derek Reese, the older brother of Kyle Reese, father of John.
If you haven't seen the show, well, you can probably catch it on Hulu.com (they're giving out beta invitations like mad, just ask them for one). Or bug your friend with a DVR who recorded it (my buddies do). Due to the writers' strike, only nine episodes were made. There's a lot to catch up on before the two-hour season finale this Monday.
Being a huge fan of the Terminator movies, I enjoy watching the TV show, since it's an extension of the Terminator mythos. I managed to weasel myself an interview with the cast — weaseling is the latest life theme — and they spoke candidly about the show and their hopes for another season.

R.I.P. Andy Griffith (1926 - 2012)
He famously explained American-style football in a hugely successful comedy album.
He quit his job teaching high school music in Goldsboro, North Carolina,and moved to New York City, where he auditioned for the lead in No Time For Sergeants and got the part.
He starred in such films as No Time For Sergeants, Onionhead, and A Face in the Crowd.
Younger viewers of television remember him as a lawyer named Matlock, the fictional version of one Bobby Lee Cook who practices law in Summerville, Chattooga County, Georgia.
But I suppose most people remember him as Sheriff Andy Taylor from The Andy Griffith Show, which opened every week with a whistled version of this song.
Only the most obtuse among you will think this is a photo of Andy Griffith. It is not. It is a photo of Bobby Lee Cook.

Halo Couple Meets for First Time, Gets Engaged (VIDEO)
A couple who met through the interactive, online shoot-'em-up game "Halo" has finally met face-to-face after five years. The pair had previously only been in contact through the game, but that was enough to build a relationship, and the two are now happily engaged.
The dramatic moment was caught on film and uploaded to YouTube, and the couple could not be happier.
"We built a relationship as best friends for 3 years," the young woman known only by her screen name, Cadynow, wrote in the YouTube caption. "Once we talked 'face-to-face' we hit it off as a couple from then on."
The pair decided to become romantically involved after three years of online play and kept the relationship strictly online with the help of Skype and Facebook. Finally, though, the couple decided to meet in person in Cadynow's home in Texas. The video shows her running into her boyfriend's arms the minute she spies him at the airport.
According to reports, the short video has gained a following on YouTube, and the pair's story has quickly spread across the globe. The two are now engaged and busy planning a wedding, though if they choose to go with a "Halo" theme, they will not be the first couple to do so.
In 2009, Desirai Labrada and John Henry chose to have a wedding to honor the game that brought them together. The two met while playing the online game and were actually married at Otronicon video gaming expo in Florida. While the bride wore a traditional gown, and her husband a tuxedo, the officiant wore a suit of full body armor.
"I just wanted my wedding to be a little more interesting than the average wedding," Labrada told the Orlando Sentinel. "Basically, I just wanted to play video games at my wedding."
Watch Cadynow and her boyfriend's dramatic first meeting here:

Portugal defender Pepe to play against Ghana; handed one-match ban
Portugal defender Pepe will be available to face Ghana in their final Group G match after he received a one-match suspension for the red card in the 4-0 defeat to Germany.
The 31-year-old was sent off for a confrontation with Thomas Muller that saw him headbutt the forward while he was on the ground.
As a result, the Real Madrid player will sit out Sunday's Group G clash against United States -- a game Portugal need to secure a result from.
As well as the ban, FIFA has also fined Pepe 9,860 pounds.

Ten Projects...One Can of Chalk Paint®!
61 comments:
Beautiful results on each and every project! I can't wait to try this paint. Thanks for posting these photos. Very inspiring. Can make an old piece of furniture look so charming. I am SO tired of brown furniture and am changing everything to Parisian Boudoir look which means I need Annie Sloan Chalk Paint. :)ReplyDelete
I still have yet to purchase any of ASCP but have been wanting to.... This was a GREAT example of how well and how far her product goes.. BEAUTIFUL!!!! and thank you for sharing..ReplyDelete
It is amazing how far a quart will go, Amanda! I still have a little bit of the Old White I bought as my first chalk paint purchase left and I'm hoping it is enough to do a fairly small project. I'll probably get more though because it works the best for me in my home out of all the colors and it is the closest to Heirloom White {which is my favorite spray paint color}.ReplyDelete
Fantastic transformations! I think my favorites are the first and last, amazing what a little paint will do!ReplyDelete
Oh the vanity is my favorite of all those projects. However they are all beautifully transformed. Great job!ReplyDelete
Not to mention that each one of your projects turned out totally awesome!ReplyDelete
Hello Amanda,ReplyDelete
I am an ASCP stockist in Warrenton, Va and I LOVED this post!!!! I am always telling my customers how far one qt of ASCP will go and they never believe me until they start painting...then they come back to my shop and say..."You were right!".
I am so proud to be part of the AS family and LOVE selling Annie's paint. Other copycats will come down the pike, but what no other brand will have behind them is the lady herself...Annie Sloan!
Thanks for this informative and beautiful post.
Have a lovely weekend...Janet xox
This post about Chalk Paint is very encouraging-- you got SO MUCH millage out of that small stash of products-- impressive!ReplyDelete
Visiting from Miss Mustard Seed's linky party,
Sincerely, Suzanne in NW Illinois
LOVE the vanity! Just gorgeous!ReplyDelete
All your projects turned out beautifully! Love that amazing mirror! I think I'm one of the very few out there that haven't tried it, you're a good sales rep!!ReplyDelete
Well done! It's impressive how much a quart can cover. I've painted a lot with it, but have never really taken note of exactly how much coverage one can provides.ReplyDelete
I have been dying to get my hands on some of this paint! Thank you for sharing this with us. Newly following and visiting from FNF.ReplyDelete
I SO want some of this chalk paint I keep reading about!!! I cannot believe how much one quart covered - amazing. Everything looks terrific and I am inspired to start covering all the dark wood surfaces of my furniture around here....:)ReplyDelete

wow these are all so gorgeous! love your styleReplyDelete
cheers Fiona
Thanks Amanda for a great review of the ASCP. I still have not used it but you've convinced me that it is well worth the high price tag. I've enjoyed following along while you've experimented with this new product and love your enthusiasm!ReplyDelete
What a great post - thanks for letting us see how far 2 can of that paint can go. I have used Heirloom White spray paint in the past and it takes several cans. Bet I could have accomplished a lot more with the AS paint. LindaReplyDelete
Nice info Amanda. Great results! Wish I lived around Portland so I could visit your shop.ReplyDelete
Thanks for the coment on my post. All of your projects turned out great! I love the curved desk - just beautiful. :)ReplyDelete
I got my first can of "Old white" ASCP for Christmas. I'm going to paint my old oak table and chairs thats out on my screened porch. I've been wondering how far the paint will go and your blog post was wonderful news!!!! I think I'm going to start my project in the next couple of weeks. Pop over to everylittlebirdie.blogspot and see how it turns out. I hope as beautiful as your lovely projects!!ReplyDelete
Your projects are gorgeous! We recently started using ASCP and love it! You've inspired me to try Provence over white latex!ReplyDelete
Gorgeous re-do's! I am on my first cans as well, just playing around with a seriously shocking Greek Blue - I mean that in a good way - it awesome stuff! ~LoriReplyDelete
LOVE ASCP!! ALL your work is fabulous!! LOve your Blog name:-0 I'm Girl In Air so Girl In Pink is awesome!ReplyDelete
I found the same thing! One can goes a very long way.....I first bought French Linen and still have some to spare...of course, I have already branched out into other colors and now have quite a collection!ReplyDelete

- Melissa RicheFebruary 25, 2012 at 1:07 PM
Your post is incredibly informative and helpful to people wondering about ASCP paint and soft wax, and their 'value for money' aspects. Commenting as the PR for ASCP in North America, we aim to get this point across to the media and the public, but end users like yourself make our claims truly believable! Thank you so much, and your work is beautiful. I love the picture frames!ReplyDelete
Amanda, your blog is the bomb, shared it on my Hip Chick Page. I am Carrie Campbell Clayden on facebook, friend me!! xoxoReplyDelete
There is not one item that is not to die for...amazing transformations.ReplyDelete

Marianne :)
Again thanks so much for this posting- This is one of those postings that makes me think- why didn't I do that! Such a good idea!ReplyDelete
Anyway, I just wanted to say that I am about to leave for my month long tour of the USA where I will be doing Workshops all over ---Dallas, San Francisco, Denver, Chicago, Atlanta, Nashville, Washington (Leesburg) and Boston!
Ticket sales are going incredibly well but there are still places. I will be talking about colour as well as doing workshops!
I hope I see some of you there. Don't forget to tell me if you came via this posting - I love the connections we make here!
Not only were the pieces beautiful, but the staged photographs are absolutely glorious - especially the sleeping pup in the mirror! Congratulations on doing such wonderful work.ReplyDelete
A friend sent me the link to this blog post. Thanks so much for sharing your ASCP experience! I've started my first project with ASCP & can't wait to make it through to the end (I'm just slow...). VERY slow!ReplyDelete
I'd love to share link this post on my FB page.
Congratulations, Amanda on all of this. You have done a great thing for ASCP!! There is nothing better than a testimony from a user and your work is so beautiful, the icing on the cake!ReplyDelete
Great, great post. This paint is truly amazing and I don't think I will go back to using latex again.ReplyDelete
- blue5ft3March 11, 2012 at 1:42 PM
Nice! I have done just the opposite lately, removing paint and restoring the beautiful old wood on some of our pieces! I like doing both.ReplyDelete
This is a great post and your pieces turned out beautifully! I am a local retail partner in Alpharetta, Georgia and I would love to hang a copy of your post in my store. Would you be okay with that?
Thank you!

Hi there! I love what you do, your items look amazing! I'm just wondering about one of your items, the dusky pink vintage trunk (that was dark brown with black edging, turned dusky pink with cream edging) I'm the proud owner of a similar trunk and I'm thinking I'll give it a similar makeover treatment in duck egg blue. I was just wondering what you used to paint the black edging cream, mine also has black edges and I want to do them cream also but I'm worried that due to the edging being plastic that whatever I use to paint it with, it will chip very easily leaving obvious ghastly black chipped edges. Could I ask what you did?ReplyDelete
Many thanks, like I say your blog is amazing and your refurbished items are nothing short of truly inspiring!

Post written by Marlon Ribunal.
Follow me on twitter.
[Author's Note: This is the last part of a two-part series on "How To Effectively Manage Your Priorities" and a quick Review of Field Notes Notebook]
In the first part of this series, we've discussed about an effective method of setting your task priorities. Separating your tasks according to the level of concern associated with them can greatly help you focus your attention to the right priorities at any given time. And, by having a clear overview of your tasks in their appropriate category, you can easily determine which tasks need what resources. Knowing the right tools to use and the amount of resources needed beforehand can mitigate your job by a large percentage.
[ From Amazon: "Extreme Productivity: Boost Your Results, Reduce Your Hours" ]
But How To Apply This Method?
Before we proceed further, let me stop referring to this method as "this method". Let's give this priority system a name: Concern Based Prioritizing Method.
The traditional ToDo List or Next Action List may not be the suitable tool to use with our Concern Based Prioritizing Method. I've mentioned about the problems with the traditional ToDo List in a previous post. In the traditional ToDo List, categorizing your tasks will force you to move your tasks around from time to time as your priorities may shift from one category to another depending upon the demand of your work at that particular day.
Using the "context tag" of a digital version of task management, such as Nirvana, may not be effective either. There must a better way of applying our Concern Based Prioritizing Method in a digital way; but I've come up with a offline system that is both simple and intuitive. Yes, it's paper-based system adapted from the popular Hipster PDA.
Hipster PDA Using Field Notes Notebook
Hipster PDA is a popular GTD tool hack. I just love how 43Folders.com describe this simple tool: "It scales brilliantly, degrades gracefully, supports optional categories and "beaming," and is configurable to an unlimited number of options." Let me explain why I prefer an analog tool over a digital one this time. We've encountered a system downtime recently at the office because of a county-wide power outage. My tasks lists were of no use because most of them are online (my work task list are on the in-house system, my personal task lists are hosted online). With no current to power the computers, there was not much that I can do except to make the necessary phone calls. I've learned a very important lesson there: Papers will not go away in the near future. The old-school paper-based todo list will always have its room for any productivity system despite the advancement of the digital technology.
[ From Amazon: "Extreme Productivity: Boost Your Results, Reduce Your Hours" ]
What We Need:
- 3 Field Notes Brand Notebook – which you can purchase from http://fieldnotesbrand.com/
- 1 Field Notes Brand "General-Purpose Band of Rubber" or any ordinary rubber band to tie the 3 notebooks together when not in use.
- 3 Message Binder Clips (with the appropriate labels – Urgent, Important, and Can Wait)
How To Assemble:
Perhaps no step-by-step instruction is needed here. I bought the 3 binder clips with the exact messages I need for this GTD tool hack from Walmart. Just in case you're wondering, this is how the tool looks like after assembling the materials:
Why I Use Field Notes Brand Notebook
Field Notes is one of the brands of notebook that I use. I am a big fan of Field Notes. Its 5½ x 3½ inches, 48-page size makes it convenient to carry around in either my back pocket or backpack. I prefer the Graph Field Notes because I can easily draw check-boxes on them, which are just perfect for ToDo or Next Action Lists. The 3 staples that hold the paper look sturdy enough to withstand daily use and the constant shoving in the back pocket. I am using a Sharpie pen to write on the pages and the ink doesn't bleed through on the back page. This is important because I am using the front and back page.
For the notebook fanatics, here are some specifications:
- Soft Cover – French Dur-O-Tone 80#C "Packing Brown Wrap," with a thick, brute force, 1-Color application of "Dachshund Note" black Toyo ink.
- Pages / Innards – Boise Offset Smooth 50#T "White", with a fine, soy-based, 1-Color application of "Double Knee Duck Canvas" light brown Toyo ink.
- Graph Grid – 3/16″ x 2/16″ (4.5mm by 4.5mm)
This pocket-sized notebook is really elegant that is why I prefer using it for my Concern Based Prioritizing Method over the ordinary 3×5 index cards. My ToDo Lists may be ordinary scribbles of the next actions necessary to get things done but they deserve to be written on something elegant. I always carry this "system" with me knowing that I can never rely on digital devices. Field Notes' slogan is just right for me: "I'm not writing it down to remember it later, I am writing it down to remember now."
[ From Amazon: "Extreme Productivity: Boost Your Results, Reduce Your Hours" ]
If you really want to dig deeper into why I keep a pocket notebook and what it is all about, there is a real tradition behind it (great post from the "Art of Manliness").
Of course there are other practical application for Field Notes Brand Notebook, according to the notebook's back page:
- Inspired Ramblings
- Crop Predictions
- Half-Ass Calculations
- Big Ideas / Insights
- Hate Mail
- Poignant Quotes
- etc.

TULSA, Oklahoma (AP) – One new case of hepatitis has been reported in a health scare involving patients of a Tulsa oral surgeon whose clinics were deemed unsanitary by investigators.
The Tulsa Health Department says one new case of hepatitis C has been found among the thousands of Dr. W. Scott Harrington's patients who have been tested since March.
So far, 71 patients have tested positive for hepatitis C, five for hepatitis B and three for HIV, but there is no indication the diseases spread at the clinics. Health experts say the spread of disease in dental clinics is extremely rare.
More than 4,000 of Harrington's patients have been tested so far.
Inspectors said they found unsanitary conditions inside Harrington's clinics at Tulsa and Owasso.
Harrington is cooperating with the investigation.

revolutionizing the way in which sporting events are viewed
SCHUTTVISION IN ACTIONView Product Details
Point of view of athletes has long been desired by coaches, fans and broadcasters. Sports Video Innovations (SVI) launched in October 2011 to revolutionize the way sporting events are viewed and experienced. Starting with football and SchuttVision, a rugged, high-definition video camera fits into the nose bumper of a football helmet to provide the unique player's point of view.
SVI is the first to provide professional and collegiate athletic teams with a high-definition camera integrated into the design of the helmet and able to withstand the grueling conditions of full-contact competition. SchuttVision is approved by the National Operating Committee on Standards for Athletic Equipment (NOCSAE). Eventually, SVI co-founder and CEO Jeremey Jeansonne would like to expand the patent-pending video technology into other sports to bring the innovative point of view camera to baseball, lacrosse and hockey.
When SVI launched SchuttVision in January of 2014 and immediately announced its partnership with the Arena Football League, interest exploded with college and NFL teams alike. As of spring 2014, nearly 30 teams in the NCAA and NFL are using helmets with new teams purchasing the helmets every day. View some of our clients.

Members of the CENDI Persistent Identification Task Group
|CENDI is an interagency cooperative organization composed of the scientific and technical information (STI) managers from the Departments of Agriculture, Commerce, Energy, Education, Defense, the Environmental Protection Agency, Health and Human Services, Interior, and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). CENDI's mission is to help improve the productivity of federal science- and technology-based programs through the development and management of effective scientific and technical information support systems. In fulfilling its mission, CENDI member agencies play an important role in helping to strengthen U.S. competitiveness and address science- and technology-based national priorities.
Executive Summary
As more U.S. federal government information is generated in digital form, it is increasingly important to develop a digital information infrastructure to ensure effective management and access. A key component of this infrastructure is persistent identification of digital information resources. Currently, many government resources do not have any uniform type of identification; individual agencies instead devise their own methods for naming sources such as internal reports, presentations, and other documents. One exception is for information posted on agency World Wide Web sites. These sites make use of Uniform Resource Locators (URLs) to identify specific Web pages and objects. Unfortunately, this approach directly associates the name of the digital object with a physical location. When the object is removed from its original location, the association between the name and the location of the object is "broken" and accessing the original name yields and error message. Broken links are a major barrier to expanding electronic government, since citizens require consistent, reliable, and accurate access to government information on the Web. Current methods ensuring the association between the object and the name require maintenance, and if this is not performed consistently the association remains broken. Addressing this problem requires incorporating methods for creating and maintaining persistent identification as a key component of the Federal Enterprise Architecture.
Two primary persistent identifier applications have emerged: the Persistent URL (PURL) and the Handle System®. Both systems are in use in the government and private sectors to enable Web applications to redirect users from the "persistent URL" to the current location of the object. Handles and PURLs are globally unique and can support mechanisms such as OpenURL, which associates critical descriptive information (metadata) with identification to enable context-sensitive linking. Handles are also supportive of a federated implementation, are independent of any physical location, and can resolve to multiple locations or multiple versions of an object. The Handle System has been adopted by major publishers for persistent identification of commercially traded content through its implementation with the Digital Object Identifier (DOI) system. While most of today's implementations of persistent identifiers use PURLs or Handles for document-like objects, there are a variety of other object types from events to agreements to data sets that could be managed using persistent identification schemes.
stablishing methods for persistent identification of government resources requires extensive analysis of issues such as preferred identifier approaches, core metadata, identifier maintenance, and relationships with existing information management systems. Consideration must be given to all aspects of the government information life cycle from creation to long-term management and access to ultimate disposition, including permanent preservation. There is also potential impact on key federal information management requirements and directives such as A-130 and A-110. For these reasons, a logical next step is the formation of a group under the E-government Interagency Committee on Government Information representing a variety of stakeholder groups to study the implementation issues, analyze costs and present recommendations.
The Opportunity: Ensuring Persitent Location of Digital Objects in E-Government Services
The President's Management Agenda and the E-Government Act of 2002 emphasize the development of electronic services for citizens and industry and the efficient and effective sharing of information between and among federal government entities and other government levels. As more of these initiatives use the Internet, and in particular the Web, as their information dissemination platform, the ability to consistently locate digital objects over time becomes increasingly important.
While there are no specific studies that address the percentage of broken links ("linkrot") for government information objects, it can be assumed to be significant. While broken links on federal government Web sites may occur less frequently than on the Web at large, the realignment of responsibilities within agencies, fewer resources, changes in contractors, the ephemeral nature of some projects, and the closure of government programs and units all increase the possibility of resources being moved without warning.
Persistent identification is a key component of a reliable digital information infrastructure and is essential for providing e-government services and information. Without such persistence, citizens who have bookmarked URLs or who try to access government services from an outdated reference will receive the ever-annoying 404 message rather than valuable government information and services. References to government Web sites will result in an increasing number of broken links over time; this will frustrate citizens, increase maintenance costs, and potentially result in the withholding of services or information from the public.
Bits and bytes not only need to be displayed, but to be labeled or referenced in such a way that they can be reliably found over time in a dynamic information environment. The current addressing structure for the Web is based on the Uniform Resource Locator (URL). This technology uses a physical location (IP address/server/path/file name) to identify and locate digital objects. While the URL provides direct, efficient access, URL-only naming fails whenever the resources are moved or reorganized. In addition, the URL may stay the same, but the object addressed by the URL may change significantly or be replaced with completely different content. Thus, while the URL permits interoperability in assigning an initial address for an object, it offers no assurance that this address will follow the object as it moves among locations. The lack of persistence or "linkrot" leads to 404 errors (file not found), inhibiting access to digital objects and causing problems when archiving material for long-term preservation and permanent access. A recent study by researchers at the University of Nebraska found a half-life of 55 months for what was considered to be stable information appropriate for inclusion in a Web-based curriculum in biochemistry and molecular biology (Markwell & Brooks, 2003). These statistics are of particular concern when URLs are used as links, citations or references, or bookmarks.
Unlike the URL, a persistent identifier tracks a specific object regardless of its physical location or current ownership. It is similar in function to a Social Security number which is assigned to an individual and does not change when that person's address changes. Likewise, in the digital environment, digital object identifiers must be unique, persistent, independent of specific Web domain names, resolvable using standard Web protocols, and flexible enough to allow efficient management of digital information and accommodation of technological changes.
Among the most commonly used persistent identifier applications are Persistent URLs (PURLs) and the Handle System. Both approaches provide registration and resolution services (similar to the resolver concept used in the Domain Name System (DNS) for URLs) to map the persistent identifier to the current physical location of the digital object. The PURL approach retains the URL construct, which can be used directly by today's Web browsers, using the Web's indirection techniques for resolving the old URL to a new one.
PURL software, developed by OCLC, a third-party provider of library services, resolves Persistent URL identifiers using servers identified by their Web domain address. The PURL is structured as:
http://purl.[resolver name, e.g. oclc.org]/[specific resource identifier]
A PURL contains the URL for the PURL Resolver Service (in the example above, the resolver at OCLC is used) followed by an identifier for the resource. The PURL assigned to the document-like object points to the PURL resolver record, which contains information to redirect the PURL to the current URL of the object. Of course, the resolver table must be updated when the actual URL location changes, but the document's PURL does not change. A PURL server can resolve only the PURLs it maintains (e.g., OCLC's PURL server cannot resolve PURLs assigned by other PURL servers). The PURL Resolver software is available free from OCLC, or PURLs can be deposited on OCLC's Resolver under an agreement with OCLC.
The Handle System, developed by the Corporation for National Research Initiatives (CNRI) under contract to several U.S. government agencies, is an interoperable network of distributed resolver servers, linked through a Global Resolver currently maintained by CNRI. The Global Handle Server registers, maintains, and resolves the naming authorities of locally-maintained Handle Servers. Any local Handle Server can, therefore, resolve any Handle through the Global Resolver. Handles, as most commonly used, resolve to the current URL of a digital object. A Handle is structured as:
[unique persistent naming authority for the assigning agency]/[unique, persistent identifier for the resource]
The Global Handle Server assures that each naming authority is unique; local Handle Servers assure that each resource identifier assigned by a naming authority is unique within that naming authority. The resource identifier portion of a Handle can be an intelligent string or an unintelligent "dumb string." Many organizations use identifiers already developed for their internal systems in this portion of the Handle.
The Handle System also supports the resolution of one Handle to multiple targets, and priorities can be established for the order in which the multiple resolutions will be used. Handles can, therefore, resolve to different digital versions of the same content, to mirror sites, or to different business models (pay versus free). They can also resolve to different digital versions of differing content, such as a mix of resources required for a distance-learning course. For example, one Handle could provide the capability to access all of the digital materials for a course. In addition to URLs, Handles can resolve to email accounts or to other Handles (supporting various Web services applications). Each of these various target categories has a unique data type. Because current Web browsers cannot support the Handle resolution directly, it is necessary to use intervening software. The software can be downloaded as an add-on client or hosted on a proxy server.
Therefore, both PURLS and Handles are redirection mechanisms that can be addressed through normal looking URLs, e.g.,
In addition there are other persistent identification schemes under development. For example, the XRI (eXtensible Resource Identifier) is a proposed scheme for distributed directory services to enable identification of resources and the sharing of data across disparate computer systems. The ARK (Archive Resource Key), developed by the California Digital Library, emphasizes archived digital objects. An ARK requires a link from the object to a promise statement regarding the degree of persistent maintenance, a link from the object to its metadata, and a link to the object itself.
The need for persistent identification for document-like objects has been recognized by a number of organizations and there are several implementations in the public and private sectors, in the United States and in other countries. Within the U.S. Government, for example, the Government Printing Office and the Department of Energy's Office of Scientific and Technical Information use PURLs and their own installations of the PURL Resolver to manage their connections to the full text of documents.
The Defense Technical Information Center uses the Handle System to control the identification and location of digital objects it receives from throughout the DoD. DTIC is a Handle Naming Authority. At the present time, Handles are assigned to DTIC's full text, publicly-releasable technical reports. Resolvable Handles are displayed on citations in DTIC's Scientific and Technical Information Networks (Public STINET and Private STINET). In addition, a separate DTIC Central Handle Service Directory stored in an Oracle database, contains searchable key metadata for each Handle resource. A search of key metadata (i.e., Title, Corporate Author, Personal Author, Report No., DTIC AD No., Publication Year) returns a results list from which a Handle can be selected. The central directory serves two purposes: 1) To provide handle resolution for any known Handle when a Handle prefix and suffix are known; 2) To 'discover' a Handle when some information is known about a resource, but not its Handle. The Handle provides a direct link to the resource. This directory also provides the interface that will enable DTIC to manage resources held by outside DoD agencies. DTIC is increasing the functionality of its Handle Service and will soon provide secure access to unclassified but protected digital assets, support remote access and management of Handles and affiliated data (as part of its partnership building effort), and extend Handles to fit different digital models (e.g., distance learning objects).
Additionally, DTIC is exploring new information technologies to make a variety of digital materials available to its user communities through a Defense Virtual Information Architecture (DVIA). These materials may include textual materials such as technical reports and electronic journals, plus maps, videos, photographs, sound, spatial data, architectural drawings, computer programs, instructional materials and possibly medical imagery. DTIC will store some of the materials in its own repository and also provide links to remote sites when linking is the best way to deliver the information. Seamless searching across diverse resources will be offered. The Handle System is an essential component of this application.
The Library of Congress has naming authorities under CNRI's Global Handle Resolver for its major units. Over 400,000 Handles have been assigned since 1995 to digital objects maintained by the Library. Handles are used as identifiers in the Library's American Memory Collection (a large digital library collection), as identifiers for electronic finding aids for the Library's archival collections, and as persistent links to digital content described by the Library's distributed cataloging records and electronic finding aids. There is a current project to investigate the assignment of persistent identifiers to the Library's XML schemas.
The largest single supplier of persistent identification is the International DOI Foundation (IDF). IDF developed the Handle-based Digital Object Identifier to support e-commerce. CrossRef is the largest user of the DOI system. CrossRef is a collaborative reference linking service that functions as a sort of digital switchboard. It holds no full text content itself, but rather links users to digital content through the DOIs, which are tagged to object-level metadata supplied by the participating publishers, including the URL for the digital content. The end result is an efficient, scalable linking system through which a researcher can click on a reference citation in a citation database, for example, and access the cited article. More than 200 publishers deposit and maintain DOI persistent identifiers in the CrossRef System to link citations and references to the full text of journal articles and books. To date over 9 million identifiers have been registered in the CrossRef system and more are being added each day.
CrossRef is a DOI Registration Agency. The primary role of Registration Agencies is to provide services to Registrants - allocating DOI prefixes, registering DOIs, and providing the necessary infrastructure to allow Registrants to declare and maintain metadata and state data. The Registration Agency concept allows the Handle System to be a distributed system.
The TSO (The Stationery Office) in the UK is also a DOI Registration Agency. TSO publishes on behalf of UK 's Parliaments and assemblies and is the UK 's definitive source of official and regulatory information. The TSO recently joined the International DOI Foundation in order to help its government and private clients better manage digital resources. With a major emphasis in the UK on E-government and with support from the E-government Envoy, the TSO is seeking to provide a series of services that use the DOI to support management of government information over time.
What Could Be
Persistent Identifiers and the Federal Enterprise Architecture
How does this technology fit with the Federal Enterprise Architecture (represented by the figure below) being developed by OMB under the authority of the E-Government Act of 2002?
Persistent identification is a core infrastructure component that touches every model of the FEA above. Persistent identifiers specifically support the Data Reference Model of the FEA by enabling information exchange and use within and even across FEA business lines. The technology also provides the Technical Reference Model with both an IT service (the resolution) and a standard identifier syntax (the structure of the identifier and the core metadata).
The FEA's emphasis on standards and best practices can be addressed by development of a Persistent Identifier framework. A federal-wide design, if not implementation, of a Persistent Identification Resolver would permit data types used in the resolver to be standardized. This would result in a common look and feel for users. In addition, a central approach can produce shared best practices, additional services and plug-ins, and non-redundant submission for services and products that are produced by multiple agencies.
The government examples described above outline the use of persistent identifiers to link to the current location for document-like objects. However, persistent identifiers can also be used in "non standard" ways to integrate and link digital content. Identifiers, for example, can help track events, such as conferences (to manage conference proceedings as either a single resource or separately as independent entities) or meetings, track the flow of correspondence, link versions and updates of departmental regulations, monitor the impact of training on its employees, bring together information about a terrorist from a variety of agencies, manage agreements, identify data sets, or manage electronic records (including appraisal, retention and disposition activities).
Project Management and Maintenance Issues
The successful implementation of persistent identifiers may well face more social and economic challenges than technical ones. The implementation of a Federal Persistent Identification Resolver requires ongoing maintenance and, therefore, ongoing resources. At the individual agency level, the resolver must be kept up-to-date with the current URLs for the locations of the government digital objects. The resolution provided by the system is only as up-to-date as the physical locations to which the persistent identifiers point. While some of this updating can be automated, responsibility for this updating and ensuring its reliability must be assigned within each agency, program or office or to a trusted third-party. It is not sufficient to create identifiers and leave them without maintenance; active management is needed in order to gain the benefits of such a system.
The adoption of persistent identifiers will require the introduction of new technology, although the specifics of the identifier and the use of that identifier will determine exactly what new technology will be needed. In the case of both PURLs and Handles, an organization will run its own server, either a PURL server or a Handle server, or arrange to register its identifiers on another organization's server. In the case of Handles the server containing the Handles and the proxy server mapping the URL requests to the id server can be one in the same or they can be separate while in the case of PURLs they are always the same. On the client side a normal Web browser can be used if the identifier is in the form of a URL. However, use of the native Handle protocol, which allows added functionality, would require special plug-in software or a separate client application.
Successful implementation of a Federal Persistent Identification Resolver may impact federal information policies, including A-130, A-10, the American Technology Preeminence Act, the data clauses of the DFARS, the FAR, and subsequent agency directives and regulations. These areas need further discussion and investigation.
tocSpecific Next Steps
The E-government Interagency Committee on Government Information should establish a group representing various stakeholders to address persistent identification as a component of the e-government infrastructure. This should include discussions of centralized versus distributed implementations, a framework for development of a government-wide persistent identification scheme or schemes, and discussions of the gateway and user interfaces. The group must analyze the costs of such a system based on the specific implementation decisions.

Hell General is the name I have given the production of my current project vehicle. The vehicle is a 1973 AM General FJ-8A Postal truck, that's right, an Ice Cream truck! The name Hell General is derived from two meanings; Hell being the location of the original evil ice cream truck, and General after the manufacturer of the truck, AM General.
In all actuality, my intentions with the truck have nothing to do with selling ice cream. Rather than indulge brats with over price cream pops, I mean to deny those looking to buy a cold tasty treat by playing my happy chimes through the streets. And when the children materialize in the streets?
I will coast right past them with the sinister look of rejection.

While the NeilMed packets of salt are really convenient – especially for kids – the cost adds up quickly. I personally use a ziploc disposable container full of sea salt and a spoon for my neti pot and this is about as cheap as you can get. I buy the sea salt bulk from Whole Foods or a similar grocery store. I covered my neti pot routine in a previous post. I tried using my sea salt for my kids in their kid-sized NeilMed bottles, but they seemed bothered by the sea salt and complained. It seems harsher than the more balanced mix you get in the NeilMed packets. I continued to buy the replacement pediatric packets for a while, but then one time my People's Pharmacy was out of the refil packets. I found a small canister of balanced salt specially packaged for nasal cleansing and tried that. This was a very successful switch for me. It is much cheaper than the equivalent NeilMed packets, it lasts longer, has no waste from the package material, and really has worked out well. It comes with a little plastic scooper so it is easy to measure out the right amount of salt and easily scoop and pour it into the bottles. Finally, when I ran out of salt in the container I intended to buy another one, but didn't get around to it for a while. In the meantime, I refilled their canister with some of my sea salt stash intending to still buy them a replacement. Well, they haven't complained and it doesn't seem like they have noticed, so for now I'm just going to reuse the canister and refill it with my bulk super cheap sea salt!

We always have a sense of anticipation as we plan and pack and then finally get to leave on our vacation.
Jeff is an excellent researcher on finding places to see while at our destination. He also checks on the campgrounds to stay at along our journey, calculating the distance traveled each day. We have found that a 6 hour day is optimum for us, though there are just times when a longer drive is necessary to complete the journey.
The distance from south Texas to South Dakota was going to be a long way for us, so we determined 3 days is all we wanted to be on the road going up. Our first day ended in Oklahoma City. We were used to driving to north Texas in a day to visit my family, but felt we needed to put a little more distance in on this trip. My Mom and Sister, Rose, were joining on this trip and it was still close enough for them to join us that evening.
After getting our camper set up, we drove around and found the Boom-A-Rang Diner in Choctaw, OK to eat supper. The menu covered breakfast and supper items, it was delicious and reasonably priced with friendly service. If you get in the area, you need to stop and have a bite to eat.
The next day was an even longer drive. We were on the road for 11 hours before pulling into Gothenburg, Nebraska, traveling through Oklahoma, Kansas and halfway through Nebraska (going east to west). It was very exhausting.
The Gothenburg KOA had some beautiful flowers throughout the grounds.
We did stop at every State Welcome Center to pick up maps and take a break. Rose and Mom drove at their own pace, stopping to sight-see and shopping…they caught up to us an hour or two later. They managed to stop in at the Pony Express historical building in Gothenburg before arriving at the campsite. Jeff and I made a point to stop by there the next morning before leaving town. If you like history the way we do, it is a great place to visit.
Our final day on the road took 6 hours, with us arriving in Custer, SD at the Custer KOA at 4pm.
We were able to see some buffalo and prairie dogs as we drove through Black Hills National Forest to reach our destination. It is hard to see the prairie dogs in the pictures I took.
Happy to reach our destination, we drove through Custer and stopped to eat at the Cattleman's Steak House. It cost more than we had planned to spend, but the food was great!

This week's for the writer's workshop I am going to write about number four which is: 8 Things I Love About My Freedom. I chose to write about this one because I am so thankful that I live in the United States and even though there is so much chaos going on here right now I am still glad that we can voice our opinions. I don't agree with the majority of the things happening, but at least we have the ability to say what we think even if it isn't the most popular opinion. Let's get on to the 8 things I love most about my freedom.
- The first thing I thankful for is as I said earlier we can speak our mind even if other people might not agree with us. I can't imagine living in a country where if you say something the government doesn't like you can be put in jail or even killed.
- I am thankful that I was able to graduate from high school and even go on to college.
- I am grateful that women can vote and that women can fun for public office. I think it is a great thing that women can run for president. (With that being said I don't like Hillary Clinton at all and I wish that she wasn't the first women to ever run for president.)
- I am thankful that women have equal rights to men. (I know that things could be so much better for women in this country but at least we are able to work and go to school. When in other countries you don't have the option of working.)
- I am thankful that I live in a country where I can treat my Multiple Sclerosis so that I can work and still contribute to society.
- I am thankful that I live in a country where I chose my religion, and I am not forced to believe something that I may not agree with.
- I am thankful that I live in a country where we can help others when they have natural disasters'. I say this because it is great we can help, but I don't agree with us always getting in the middle of everyone else's wars.
- I am thankful for all of the soldiers that put their lives on the line so that I can have everything that I have.
Those are all of the things I love about my freedom. I know there are other things that I am thankful for but those are the first eight things that came to mind when I was writing this post. I know that we have so many problems we need to work through and things we need to figure out in this country but we do have it so much better than so many other nations. I wish that instead of killing each other we would all work together to change the things that are wrong in our country. I am not going to say anything more about that because I have no idea how to fix the problems we have and I am sad about all the killing that has been going on these past few years.

Customer service isn't quite dead yet…
Last week, it was pouring rain for a few days straight. My son is really good at entertaining himself. He was off playing by himself, but my daughter is not nearly as gifted. She wants someone to entertain her. There's only so much I can bribe my son with. He likes being alone. My husband had a few things to do, so that left me and I was under heavy deadline. Apparently spending all day at school wasn't entertaining enough for her because she came home whining that she was bored and I was out of ideas…
What's a work-at-home-mom to do? Well, fire up her pretty purple netbook and set Amazon Video up for the little whiny child. She had never seen Mulan (it's a Disney movie for those of you that live under a rock), so I rented it for her and it started streaming.
Sounds great, right? I was thinking I was the smartest mom in the world. Um. Except for when it rains, our internet can get a little weird here. I have no idea if it's in my head or what, but when it rains, we have problems. So, of course, the movie was buffering a lot. It'd stop for a full minute at times and she'd pause it and get a glass of water or something to let it catch up.
It honestly wasn't too bad. A little annoying, but it kept her busy and I really didn't think anything about it. A few days go by and I get this email from Amazon:
We noticed that you experienced poor video playback while watching the following rental(s) on Amazon Video On Demand:
We're sorry for the inconvenience and have issued you a refund for the following amount(s):
While Amazon Video On Demand transactions are typically not refundable, we are happy to make an exception in this case. This refund should be processed within the next 2 to 3 business days and will appear on your next billing statement for the same credit card used to purchase this item.
Let me reiterate here. I didn't say anything to Amazon. Nothing. They noticed it in their logs or whatever (and no, I'm not afraid of big brother, seriously, I think it's kind of neat they have some sort of monitoring system!) and refunded me. I didn't ask for it. Nothing.
I have always said that Amazon and Zappos have the most amazing customer service and with all of my dealings with them. I mean who would refund a customer that didn't complain? It's only $2. I wasn't worried about it. Heck, it was probably even my computer's fault. Talk about "Wow!"
It makes me wonder… what am I do or what could I do that get that "wow" factor with my clients. Hmmm….
