On the other hand, if Swift fired Mihos in a retaliatory fit of pique because she disagreed with his vote and wished to punish him, she would have no legitimate governmental interests on her side of the scale.
Given the importance of Swift's motivation for firing Mihos for his vote, we must pause to address Swift's argument in her brief that "the state of mind of the public official is not relevant to the question of qualified immunity," citing to Harlow v.
Finally, Mihos alleged that he was "removed from public office before the expiration of his term because of disagreement with the way [he] voted on matters of public concern" and that his termination was "political interference and intimidation." The district court, and this court on appeal, must accept Mihos's version of the dispute.

 Computer models of galactic collisions
To understand just how volatile the universe is, Christopher Mihos from the Department of Astronomy and students in his Astronomy 327 class employ fast-action computer generated models of galactic collision to study their evolution.

According to Mihos, the trickiest part of taking these picture is the way light bounces off the mirrors and through filters.
