| Kites + Rockets
| |
|
| |
| 1 pm at the Century High School field, on the north side of the building. Bring your rockets and your kites, your family and friends. Kevin Arhleger has volunteered to be our Launch Master again. Rockets if it's not windy, kites if it is, last year we managed to skirt the line and do both.
| |
|
| |
|
| |
| Details from the Launch Master:
| |
|
| |
| Rain, tornado warnings, acts of god (frogs, locusts, etc.) are all cause for cancellation.
| |
|
| |
| I'll play it by ear for rockets, if the wind speed is above 15mph our field won't be big enough.
| |
|
| |
|
| |
| If you have a rocket make sure to have:
| |
|
| |
| - rocket engine, smaller is better--our biggest launch took half a mile to come down I recommend A and B engines if you want your rocket back
| |
|
| |
| - igniter
| |
|
| |
| - wadding, most engine packs come with it (look for the ones that do)--this helps prevent your parachute cord from melting mid flight
| |
|
| |
|
| |
| - Hobby Lobby sells rockets (kits and complete rockets) as well as engines.
| |
|
| |
|
| - Everything Hobby has a wider selection of engines as well as igniters and wadding if you have old engines you would like to use.

| Summary:
| | === Planned Lunch: Thursday July 19th === |

| | |
|
| |
|
| Aproximately two hundred billion cells divide daily to ensure tissue replacemet and turnover essential for our health and longevity. The division and function of each of ~ 6 X10^13 cells that make our body, are carefully and tightly regulated through intricate and redundant signaling networking. However, due to inherent genetic and/or environmental factors, the basal rate of biochemical and cellular aberations increases, and leads to aging, disease and death.
| | === Planned Social: July TBD === |
| Today's clinical practice and biomedical research generates unprecedented amount of potential valuable data, to be used in discovery, innovation or medicine. Bioinformatics is an interdisciplinary field whereby biology, medicine, computer science, mathematics and statistics are integrated with the sole purpose to bring rhyme, reason, meaning and functional context to the newly generated data, which can then be integrated into models and practice for an optimal life style or personalized medicine.

| Using Debian GNU/Linux as main operating system, I am going to present a brief practical overview of few major Open Source bioinformatics applications such as EMBOSS (European Molecular Biology Open Source Software - in-silico gene and protein processing, MEV (microarray gene profiling), ImageJ quantification and analysis of 2 and 3D images) and
| |
| Pymol: biomolecular crystal structure analysis(Pymol) and others.

Upcoming Meeting Crisis!
Well, not really a crisis, but we do need some meeting topics (& speakers) for 2012. We'd like to know what you want to see and hear about. Please email Tina or Tim with suggestions for topics. Should we run some previous sessions again (maybe something you really wanted to see but missed out on)? What type of topics are good, what type are bad? Also see this page for a list of suggested topics http://www.k-lug.org/Meetings
