2012 Aibonito Flower Festival
Every year, the town of Aibonito hosts the largest plant show & sale on the island. It features flower & plant displays, a large section for plant sales, live local music shows (of course) and food kiosks.
My favorite part is the rows and rows of booths selling all kinds of plants — orchids, fruit trees, vegetable plants, heliconias, gingers, hibiscus … just to name a few. I look forward to this event all year and it is now that time of year again!
In 2012, the Aibonto Flower Festival (Festival de Flores de Aibonito) will be held from June 29 through July 8.
Finding the Festival is not too difficult — just follow the cars! It is a hugely popular event. This is one of the town's claims to fame — they even have a permanent Flower Festival Area, behind the Colliseo los Polluelos de Aibonito. This is where all the "official" sales booths, entertainment and food kiosks are set up. In addition to that, you will be able to find small vendors set up selling everything from plants to perfume, flowers to food all along the roads leading to the park.
Most people go on the weekends and in the afternoon. So, if you want to avoid the biggest crowds, plan on going mid-week in the morning.
If you are a tourist from the States, just keep in mind, the USDA does conduct mandatory luggage inspection at the airport. So if you plan on buying plants to take back the the States, you might want to review the Predeparture Passenger Baggage Inspection Notice for Travelers from Puerto Rico to the US Mainland (PDF file) regarding what plants you are allowed to take home with you.
Entertainment Schedule
The organizers don't provide a schedule listing what times each of the live shows will be taking place, but they have provided this list of which performers are supposed to have shows on which days. The shows are generally in the afternoon.

In 2012, the festival starts on June 29 and ends on July 8. The festival is open from 8am to 7pm every day.

Clean Up Lubbock!
By: Joe Griffin
Updated: April 30, 2008
Cathy Mottet says trying to keep her neighborhood clean is a block to block battle.
We talked to City Code Enforcement and they say when the temperature rises, things grow and people dump more stuff illegally. That means more notices and fines.
If you have a problem in your neighborhood, you are encouraged to call Code Enforcement at 775-2111.

Mitt Romney on Wednesday blasted President Obama for not destroying the U.S. drone recently downed in Iran, calling it a "terrible mistake"
"He was extraordinarily weak and timid in a critical moment," Romney said on Fox News. "This will have severe implications for us long term. ... I find it incomprehensible that he didn't destroy it or go get it ... the idea of letting it fall into the hands of people who will use it against us, use the intelligence against us, was an enormous mistake on the part of this president."
White House press secretary Jay Carney, responding to criticism by former Vice President Cheney — Cheney also said Obama should have used an airstrike to destroy the drone — on Tuesday said Obama's response to the drone reflected the "unanimous views of our national security team."
He also said that while he would not discuss classified intelligence matters, the White House is "highly confident in our own unique capabilities" when it comes to dealing with Iran studying the drone.
Romney has made criticisms of Obama for "weakening" the U.S. in the eyes of the world a major component of his presidential campaign.
Romney's steady position at the front of the Republican field in the polls has been challenged by Newt Gingrich in recent weeks, but he predicted there would be a lot of "bouncing around in the poll numbers" heading into the early-state primaries. Iowa's caucus is the first vote and is set for Jan. 3.

Twenty-something years ago, Jerry Cantrell bought his first G&L Rampage while working at a Dallas music store, and he still rocks 'em hard today. But what Jerry didn't discover at the time was the G&L Superhawk, a hard-charging model like the Rampage but equipped with twin 'buckers. That's changed and so will rock history.
What would an '83 G&L SC-2 be if Leo Fender recreated it for today's scene? The crew at G&L think it would be a lot like the new Fallout. After all, when inspiration comes from original G&L SC guitars modded by the likes of Devo's Mark and Bob Mothersbaugh and Band of Susans' Robert Poss, there are lots of cues to follow.

PDX Property Group
9755 SW Barnes Rd. Suite 560
Portland, OR
Office: (503) 890-6527
Chris Suarez and his team succeeded where two preveious realor groups were not successful. Why? He profiled the Buyer and limited the number of people allowed to view our property. Only five potential buyers viewed the property. We received an excellent offer that was accepted. He listened. He did not need to hold the traditional series of "open houses" at all. This was tremendously appreciated and made our lives simple.
We interviewed 6 agents before selecting Chris to sell our high end home. He made a real professional pitch for our business and lived up to it. He takes a very marketing approach and is a very good negotiator. We had a few issues with the sale and he very calmly helped us work through them
Chris did a great job with my short sale despite the fact that I was living in San Diego while he was taking care of things in Portland. He stuck with me til the bitter end, and was able to get extensions to avoid foreclosure. I am so very happy it didn't come to that. I am very grateful for Chris Suarez and Gina Reed for their hard work in helping with my out of state short sale. Thanks guys!
Chris provided outstanding service. We were able to close on our new property within 6 days of decision to purchase and the condo we listed with him was sold within 35 days. He had a marketing strategy in place within 2 days of listing. We would definitely recommend him to anyone making decisions about an agent.
We recently bought a house in Beaverton. We had a very good experience with Chris' team ... specifically Adam Shepard (in the field) and John Powers (for negotiating and closing the deal). Both were a pleasure to work with ... not pushy which we appreciated. Adam helped us hone in on what exactly we were looking for in a home. John is very experienced and guided us through the process expertly. The team is a very well oiled machine. Would work with them again.
I have worked with Chris and his team twice within a three period to buy two properties in Portland ... a condo in the Pearl and a single family residence in Piedmont. Both Chris and his staff are very responsive, knowledgeable and professional. They work with you up front to understand your needs and execute a resulting property search that is on point and efficient. During both of our purchases, Chris negotiated contracts that got us the best results in all parts of the deal. We are now listin... More
Chris and his team of professionals are absolutely top notch. We have used this team for three transactions over the past two years and I can't imagine a better experience! Our homes sold in record time and our purchase was totally smooth. Chris does not loose track of a single detail and goes the extra mile to make sure his clients are getting the best deal possible. I would never consider using any other agent!
Chris and his team were most impressive. We were always kept updated as the sale progressed. Chris continually negotiated with our best interest in mind. We would be pleased to recommend Chris and look forward to working with him in the future.
My Husband and I worked closely with Chris' co-workers, John and Adam and couldn't be happier! Prior to beginning our Condo search, they prepared us for what we should expect based on the market conditions, they responded quickly to our inquiries throughout the process, and negotiated a fantastic deal on our behalf. It was love at first sight when I first walked into the place I now call home, but there was one problem....the condo seriously lacked closets space. Adam and John knew ho... More
Really enjoyed working with John Powers and Adam Shepard of PDX Property Group. As a buyers agent, they were knowledgeable about all aspects of the local property market. Their thoroughness guided us through some rough waters and landed us in the house and neighborhood we wanted. I would and have recommended them to anyone looking to purchase in the Portland area. Tom & Lori
I could not have been happier working with Chris Suarez and his amazing team. Every member of the team really listened to what my husband and I were looking for and they were not the least bit pushy. I truly feel like Chris and his team had our best interest at heart in every scenario. They made this somewhat stressful process fun. If you are looking for really good people who really know real estate, then I wouldn't think twice about going with Chris and his team.
We just bought our dream home in Laurelhurst, Portland, OR and were extremely pleased with our buyers agents from PDX Property Group. We had a very long "must-have" list and were very much committed to the location. In addition my husband and I have opposite schedules which made it very difficult for us to tour homes together. So I believe we were pretty difficult customers... Our agent Adam Shepard and his colleges however were incredible. He really listened to us and got to know us a... More
We discussed the sale of our house with three realtors and Chris impressed us with his proactive marketing strategies and his genuine way of interacting. Chris set the price below what we had thought we might get, but his reasoning was sound. In fact, before we were through we had to lower the asking price more. In this market, it was impossible to get the price we wanted. It was difficult to accept, but Chris was very good about clear explanations, always giving us time to digest informatio... More
I hardly know where to start. Chris's team, which includes John and Adam, is the most amazing real estate act since Manhattan was purchased from the locals. From the initial email through the property showings, finding a great mortgage broker, negotiating the offer and sale, and suggesting follow-through with vetted vendors, my experience with the PDX Property Group has been nothing short of superlative. If you are considering buying or selling your property, run, don't walk, to avail... More
I cannot speak highly enough of Chris or his team mates, Adam Shepard and Jonathan Martinez.They are a "well oiled machine" and practice customer service at a level I rarely see. Honesty, integrity, and trustworthiness coupled with knowledge, expertise, responsiveness and overall skills make this a hard team to beat. Not only was the perfect condo found for me during my first day of viewings, but the entire purchase - from offer to close - happened in record time: 3 weeks! All the more... More
Chris and his team were a pleasure to work with, he really knows the area and values and always has his ear to the ground. He and his partners were very "can do" and flexible. I liked that he was truly open to my needs as a client and didn't push any agenda. In the end it meant we found what I was looking for and made my vision a reality. Unlike a lot of agents, Chris makes things straightforward and simple. Thanks Chris and Adam, hopefully won't need to use you again for a lon... More
We were extremely satisfied with Chris Suarez as our real estate agent. We have worked with of number of agents in the past and Chris was head and shoulders above them all. He sold our home for asking price in less than three weeks, in a terribly slow market! He was totally professional, organized, educated, reliable and likable!!! He was a master negotiator and was the reason we got two full-price offers on our home the same day! His office staff are equally experienced and wonderful to wo... More
Chris was patient with us while we explored lots of options as first-time home buyers. He clearly knows the market well - we were always impressed with his knowledge of the history of buildings, the goings-ons of condo boards, etc. He made himself available for us over a holiday weekend to finalize our purchase. We have total confidence and trust in him and have recommended him to several friends.
Chris Suarez was so easy to work with. When we wanted to attempt to sell on our own at first, he was fine with that, even helpful. Once he took over, I felt he did everything he could to get buyers to see the property. The market was depressed at the time, so it wasn't easy finding a buyer. But he did find that one buyer we needed.
Chris is the best Realtor I have ever had. He is always available and returned all of my calls extremely fast. I will definitely use him for my next sale and purchase as well as refer him to all of my friends.
Chris Suarez sold our house within a week. We had previously been with another realtor for over 4 or 5 months with very little activity and no offers. Chris was knowledgeable and always quick to respond to my emails. I recommended him to my son, and everyone I knew who was looking to sell. It is important to know you can trust your realtor, and I can honestly say that he is a young man that will do his best to give you the very best advice, and will work for your interest. Thank you Chris! O... More

Congratulations to all the recent college graduates! Now it's time to start reaping the rewards of your hard work – starting a career, getting your first apartment … and paying off your student loans.
As the weather is warming up many of us have already started planning all sorts of activities and vacations. Planning these events can be fun but paying for them is a different story. Carrying cash or checks can be a headache and somewhat risky, while credit cards hit you with a high interest rate.
Summer and warm weather are right around the corner. Aren't they? Now is the time to start planning your summer activities and trips. Luckily, we live in or near a great city so we don't have to go far or spend a lot to enjoy some summer fun.

Although it may not seem like it, let me remind you that March 20th was the first official day of spring. The terms "snow" and "unseasonably cold weather" have still been a part of our vernacular these past few weeks. And I think we probably all agree that we've had enough of winter.

FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. (AP) — The Atlanta Falcons started their youth movement Friday by ditching three key players from the most successful era in franchise history.
The Falcons released running back Michael Turner, defensive end John Abraham and cornerback Dunta Robinson, moves that were not unexpected given their age (all in their 30s) and hefty salaries.
Still, it was a stunning start to Atlanta's offseason makeover, especially for a team that came up just short of the Super Bowl, losing to San Francisco in a thrilling NFC championship game. In one swoop, the Falcons let go their top rusher, their leader in sacks, and a starter in the secondary.
"As a football coach it is never easy to cut any player, especially veteran players who have been valuable members of the organization," Falcons coach Mike Smith said. "The guys we released today have contributed to the success that we have had over the last five years, and we greatly appreciate their efforts."
The moves free up about $16 million in salary cap space, money that general manager Thomas Dimitroff intends to use to build a younger roster. Last year, the Falcons were one of the oldest teams in the league.
The 31-year-old Turner was the first big free-agent signing under the Dimitroff-Smith regime in 2008. The bruising back rushed for 1,699 yards his first season and more than 1,300 yards two other years. But his playing time dipped dramatically in 2012 as the Falcons gave more carries to a totally different kind of back, Jacquizz Rodgers, who provided more speed and quickness.
Turner rushed for 800 yards this past season, the lowest of his five-year Atlanta career, with 10 touchdowns.
Abraham has been the Falcons' only consistent pass rusher since being acquired from the New York Jets in 2006. At age 34, he led the team with 10 sacks but had to cut back on his snaps in a bid to stay healthy. He wasn't much of a factor in the playoffs after injuring his left ankle in the final regular-season game.
Over his Falcons career, Abraham had 68 1-2 sacks. His departure means defensive end will be one of Dimitroff's top priorities in the free agency.
The 30-year-old Robinson signed with Atlanta in 2010 and became a steady figure in the secondary, known especially for his bruising hits. He had four interceptions over the past three seasons. Continued...
The Falcons were an NFC-leading 13-3 last year, their fifth straight winning season. Since 2008, they have made the playoffs four times and won two division titles.

The real problem with the DIKW pyramid is that it's a pyramid. The image that knowledge (much less wisdom) results from applying finer-grained filters at each level, paints the wrong picture. That view is natural to the Information Age which has been all about filtering noise, reducing the flow to what is clean, clear and manageable. Knowledge is more creative, messier, harder won, and far more discontinuous

The Oakland Press (theoaklandpress.com), Serving Oakland County
Friday, November 16, 2012 12:25 PM EST
The Martin Luther King Jr. Task Force, along with major sponsors announce the grand opening of "Pathways to Freedom in the Americas: Shared experiences between Michigan, U.S.A. and Guerrero, Mexico" ("Rutas hacia la libertad en las Americas: Experiencias compartidas entre Michigan, EE.UU. y Guerrero, México"), a special exhibition at the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History in Detroit.
The interactive exhibit, which opens to the public today, Nov. 16, and runs through May 31, demonstrates the role that the states of Michigan and Guerrero, Mexico, played in the struggle against slavery in the 19th century and the subsequent liberation of all people in the Americas.
The Charles H. Wright Museum of African America History is at 315 E. Warren Ave., Detroit, 313-494-5800. The museum is open 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday and 1 to 5 p.m. Sunday. For more information, visit thewright.org.
Through bilingual video, text, photographs, illustrations and graphics, the 100-square-foot exhibit details the shared pathways between the two countries from the year 1440 to present. It highlights the history of African-American slaves who took the "southern route of the Underground Railroad" to escape to Mexico during the early and mid-1800s, and the story of Mexico's secodnd President, Vicente Guerrero, who was of African descent and who abolished slavery in Mexico in 1829.
Major sponsors of "Pathways to Freedom in the America"s are the Michigan Humanities Council (an affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities Council), DTE Energy Foundation and MGM Grand Detroit.
The traveling exhibit also examines African culture today in the Costa Chica Region of Guerrero, and Mexican culture in Detroit, through dance, songs, music and food. Portions of the exhibition are presented in English and Spanish.
"This exhibit represents a significant part of African and Mexican history that needs to be recognized, researched and acknowledged," commented MLK, Jr. Task Force president Barbara Seldon.
"The rich African culture that is alive and strong in regions of Mexico, such as Costa Chica and Veracruz, has been ignored or forgotten, yet African culture had an impact throughout all of Mexico. We recognize the significance of this history because Dr. King had a global view of peace that ties all people together in friendship and brotherhood. Rekindling this connection will help to make for better relations among African Americans and Mexicans in Michigan and throughout the United States."
The "Pathways" exhibit was inspired by the chance meeting of two women in Mexico who became fast friends — Patricia Ann Talley, an African-American from Detroit, and Candelaria Donaji Mendez Tello, a native Afro-Mexican. Through discussion, they learned about the parallel histories of their ancestors who were brought to the Americans against their will. Together, they introduce the exhibition, which presents the mutually beneficial relationship between African-Americans and Mexicans that is seldom discussed.
"This exhibit culminates over a year of research and relationship-building, both, in Metro-Detroit and abroad," added the exhibit project manager Barbara Talley. "It depicts a different aspect of slavery in the Americas, and focuses on the rich African heritage that continues to permeate Mexican culture, the migration of Mexicans to Michigan, and the culture in Southwest Detroit. It is hoped that sharing this history of both countries will increase the appreciation and collaboration between the two cultures and help to build better intercultural and international relations."
The project is an international effort through partnerships with Museo de Las Culturas Afromestizas in Cuajiniculapa, Guerrero, Mexico, and the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History. Other collaborating organizations include: Eastern Michigan University; Marygrove College Center for Chicano-Boricua Studies; Matrix Human Services; Southfield Field Zone Community Center; Southfield Public Library; Wayne State University; Center for Chicano-boricua Studies; Mexico Negro A.C. (Black Mexican Civic Assn.); Universided Autonoma de Guerrero; Unidad de Turismo de Zihuatanejo; PBP Mexico Marketing & Communications.
The Michigan Humanities Council provided the foundation with a generous grant to fund the project. Other financial and in-kind contributors include: Torch of Wisdom Foundation, Inc.; St. John Providence Health System; Michigan Hispanic Chamber of Commerce; Chambers & Associates; Hacienda Mexican Foods; and the Pi Tau Omega Chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Inc.
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Task Force Inc. is a tax-exempt organization established in 1986 and the primary sponsor of this exhibit. Its mission is to commemorate the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and to sustain his teachings and works. This exhibit stresses education and embodies Dr. King's philosophies of diversity, unity and brotherhood. For more information, visit mltaskforce.org.

Ever notice how many important and potentially controversial pieces of legislation are first brought to the public's attention as riders, or perhaps in the fine print, of much larger bills?
For example, in 2003, the Campbell government brought in Bill 75, the Significant Projects Streamlining Act, as a small portion of a press release titled, "Miscellaneous Statutes Amendment." Sometimes referred to as the "steamrolling act," it gave ministers the power to override local laws deemed impediments to provincially significant projects. It has never been used, partly because local governments banded together to set up a fund to fight the move in court if a municipal government was ever "Bill 75ed."
This week's of the measure to reclassify 2.36 hectares of land from Stawamus Chief Provincial Park for the proposed Sea to Sky Gondola was introduced in similar fashion —�as something like the eighth paragraph of a press release headed, "Province expands protected areas system." Sure, it was likely to happen anyway, but it's almost as though the Clark government expected an outcry and wanted to mute the response by saying, "Hey, but we're protecting all this over here…"
A far more egregious example is the Feds' inclusion of controversial Fisheries Act and Environmental Assessment Act amendments in the 2012 budget bill. The measures will make it easier for industries —�especially ones named Enbridge — to get their projects through, while jeopardizing the health of Canada's environment.
While we can argue about whether the changes are actually needed for the Tories and their friends to have their way, the manner in which they're being introduced is a smackdown to those radical foreign devils (and perhaps a few ordinary Canadians) who care about the Earth. Wrote the Ottawa Citizen's Terry Glavin, "There was no need for great chunks of legislation to be retrofitted into a 420-page omnibus budget bill that looks to have been intended to confound every effort by the House of Commons to scrutinize its contents intelligently."
Canadians can look at it as a stealthy way to bring closure to the debate on some of the Tories' most reviled moves to date — one that lots of us will remember when the next election rolls around. After all, parliamentarians have to pass the budget, don't they?

Size matters in activation/inhibition of ligand-gated ion channels Trends in Pharmacological Sciences, Volume 33, Issue 9, 1 September 2012, Pages 482-493 Juan Du, Hao Dong and Huan-Xiang Zhou Abstract Cys loop, glutamate, and P2X receptors are ligand-gated ion channels (LGICs) with 5, 4, and 3 protomers, respectively. There is now growing atomic level understanding of their gating mechanisms. Although each family is unique in the architecture of the ligand-binding pocket, the pathway for motions to propagate from ligand-binding domain to transmembrane domain, and the gating motions of the transmembrane domain, there are common features among the LGICs, which are the focus of the present review. In particular, agonists and competitive antagonists apparently induce opposite motions of the binding pocket. A simple way to control the motional direction is ligand size. Agonists, usually small, induce closure of the binding pocket, leading to opening of the channel pore, whereas antagonists, usually large, induce opening of the binding pocket, thereby stabilizing the closed pore. A cross-family comparison of the gating mechanisms of the LGICs, focusing in particular on the role played by ligand size, provides new insight on channel activation/inhibition and design of pharmacological compounds.

Asymmetric Structural Motions of the Homomeric α7 Nicotinic Receptor Ligand Binding Domain Revealed by Molecular Dynamics Simulation Biophysical Journal, Volume 85, Issue 5, 1 November 2003, Pages 3007-3018 Richard H. Henchman, Hai-Long Wang, Steven M. Sine, Palmer Taylor and J. Andrew McCammon Abstract A homology model of the ligand binding domain of the α7 nicotinic receptor is constructed based on the acetylcholine-binding protein crystal structure. This structure is refined in a 10ns molecular dynamics simulation. The modeled structure proves fairly resilient, with no significant changes at the secondary or tertiary structural levels. The hypothesis that the acetylcholine-binding protein template is in the activated or desensitized state, and the absence of a bound agonist in the simulation suggests that the structure may also be relaxing from this state to the activatable state. Candidate motions that take place involve not only the side chains of residues lining the binding sites, but also the subunit positions that determine the overall shape of the receptor. In particular, two nonadjacent subunits move outward, whereas their partners counterclockwise to them move inward, leading to a marginally wider interface between themselves and an overall asymmetric structure. This in turn affects the binding sites, producing two that are more open and characterized by distinct side-chain conformations of W54 and L118, although motions of the side chains of all residues in every binding site still contribute to a reduction in binding site size, especially the outward motion of W148, which hinders acetylcholine binding. The Cys loop at the membrane interface also displays some flexibility. Although the short simulation timescale is unlikely to sample adequately all the conformational states, the pattern of observed motions suggests how ligand binding may correlate with larger-scale subunit motions that would connect with the transmembrane region that controls the passage of ions. Furthermore, the shape of the asymmetry with binding sites of differing affinity for acetylcholine, characteristic of other nicotinic receptors, may be a natural property of the relaxed, activatable state of α7.

Modeling Neuronal Nicotinic and GABA Receptors: Important Interface Salt-Links and Protein Dynamics Biophysical Journal, Volume 97, Issue 6, 16 September 2009, Pages 1586-1594 Richard J. Law and Felice C. Lightstone Abstract Protein motions in the Cys-loop ligand-gated ion receptors that govern the gating mechanism are still not well understood. The details as to how motions in the ligand-binding domain are translated to the transmembrane domain and how subunit rotations are linked to bring about the cooperative movements involved in gating are under investigation. Homology models of the α4β2 nicotinic acetylcholine (nACh) and β2α1γ2 GABA receptors were constructed based on the torpedo neuromuscular-like nicotinic receptor structure. The template constructed for the full electron microscopy structure must be considered more reliable for structure-function studies due to the preservation of the E45–R209 salt-link. Many other salt-links are seen to transiently form, including switching off of the E45–R209 link, within a network of potential salt-links at the binding domain to the transmembrane domain interface region. Several potentially important intersubunit salt-links form in both the nAChR and GABAR structures during the simulation and appear conserved across many subunit combinations, such as the salt-link between α4.E262 and β2.K255 in nAChR (β2.E262 and α1.K263 in GABAR), at the top of the pore-lining M2 helices, and the intersubunit link of R210 on the M1-linker to E168 on the β8-sheet of the adjacent subunit in the GABA receptor (E175–K46 being the structurally equivalent link in the nAChR, with reversed polarity). A network of other salt-links may be vital for transmitting the cooperative gating motions between subunits that become biased upon ligand binding. The changes seen in the simulations suggest that this network of salt-links helps to set limits and specific states for the conformational changes involved in gating of the receptor. We hope that these hypotheses will be tested experimentally in the near future. Abstract | Full Text | PDF (1428 kb) |

Molecular dynamics simulations of a homology model of the ligand binding domain of the α7 nicotinic receptor are conducted with a range of bound ligands to induce different conformational states. Four simulations of 15ns each are run with no ligand, antagonist d-tubocurarine (dTC), agonist acetylcholine (ACh), and agonist ACh with potentiator Ca2+, to give insight into the conformations of the active and inactive states of the receptor and suggest the mechanism for conformational change. The main structural factor distinguishing the active and inactive states is that a more open, symmetric arrangement of the five subunits arises for the two agonist simulations, whereas a more closed and asymmetric arrangement results for the apo and dTC cases. Most of the difference arises in the lower portion of the ligand binding domain near its connection to the adjacent transmembrane domain. The transfer of the more open state to the transmembrane domain could then promote ion flow through the channel. Variation in how subunits pack together with no ligand bound appears to give rise to asymmetry in the apo case. The presence of dTC expands the receptor but induces rotations in alternate directions in adjacent subunits that lead to an asymmetric arrangement as in the apo case. Ca2+ appears to promote a slightly greater expansion in the subunits than ACh alone by stabilizing the C-loop and ACh positions. Although the simulations are unlikely to be long enough to view the full conformational changes between open and closed states, a collection of different motions at a range of length scales are observed that are likely to participate in the conformational change.

'IB' - Chapter TwoChapter TwoDib found himself completely frozen again as the other approached him slowly. It was almost as if time had just stopped completely as each step created more and more anticipation and fear. He could hardly even bat an eye as his gaze was glued on to Zim with no intention of looking anywhere else.Zim took agonizingly slow steps to him, the laughing dying down to weak 'e' sounds of an eerie laugh. He stopped when he had reached him, eyes turning wild almost instantly. He leaned forward and continued that grin of insanity, looking like he was a wrong breath away from a total meltdown. "I...want to....." The rest turned into garbled

Correctly reading Query responses??
Hello to all developers
First of all: I'm not using PHP, I'm using C# + Silverlight
Am I the only one trying to determine how to always successfully read the query-port responses?
How do you detect how often you have to call "read" on the socket to be sure you got the whole response?
Why am I asking this? For example when I send a "version" query call I sometimes get the whole response with one call and sometimes the status line "error id= ...." is retrieved sending an additional call. So how do I know when to do additional calls? I cant see a pattern that I could use to detect this, do I miss something? I saw one lib written in PHP thats searching the response for "id=" but thats bad coding and also does not work always (For example when doing a help-call where this part is contained in the examples of the command the help is for). I dont know why the other PHP libs work, as lon as i could read the php code they are calling the read as long as something is "returned". But what does "returned" mean? When I do a call to read and nothing is there to read the call is waiting until something is to be read. Sure I can cancel the call after a specified time but thats bad coding too.
Beside this, TS3 also provides "callbacks" using "servernotifyregister" where the TS3 server sends notify messages when some event occured. How to detect them correctly and how to make sure that callback calls dont interfere with command-results?
Ok, that was a lot of text to read, i guess there is an easy answer for this and I'm just too weary to get it.

The book was compiled from Thomas H. Johnson's hard-to-find variorum from 1955. While some explanatory notes would have been helpful, it's a prodigious collection, showcasing Dickinson's intractable obsession with nature, including death. Poem 1732, which alludes to the deaths of her father and a onetime suitor, illustrates her talent:
My life closed twice before its close;
It yet remains to see
If Immortality unveil
A third event to me,
So huge, so hopeless to conceive
As these that twice befell.
Parting is all we know of heaven,
And all we need of hell.
The musicality of her punctuation and the outright elegance of her style--akin to Christina Rossetti's hymns, although not nearly so religious--rescue the poems from their occasional abstruseness. The Complete Poems is especially refreshing because Dickinson didn't write for publication; only 11 of her verses appeared in magazines during her lifetime, and she had long-resigned herself to anonymity, or a "Barefoot-Rank," as she phrased it. This is the perfect volume for readers wishing to explore the works of one of America's first poets.

THE undercover subcontinent sting that caught umpires taking money to influence cricket matches proves what many suspected - that corruption is still rife in modern cricket.
Once again it was a media outlet that uncovered shady practices, with Indian television broadcasting footage of an undercover sting that allegedly exposes six ICC umpires from Sri Lanka, Pakistan and Bangladesh.
Many of those involved have immediately denied the charges.
Bangladesh's Nadir Shah said any suggestion he was open to bribery was "absolutely rubbish''.
"If I am going to fix match, I will be caught some day by the ICC... no umpire fixes matches,'' he told the Press Trust of India news agency.
The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) pledged to investigate the claims.
"The BCB has a zero-tolerance policy to issues related to corruption in the game and is committed to holding a thorough inquiry,'' it said in a statement.
Pakistan umpire Nadeem Ghouri, another of those named, also denied any involvement.
"I am surprised at these baseless allegations,'' he told AFP and said he would consult his lawyers.
The ICC's slow-moving corruption unit has promised an "urgent investigation" but yet again is following the lead of a media sting, not unearthing their own smoking guns.
There aren't too many Perry Masons in the ICC corruption unit. Nice fellows, but the unit is more Inspector Plod than Sherlock Holmes.
Since they formed in 2000, the corruption unit has absorbed more than $50 million in funding yet only uncovered a handful of cheats in a game in which most people agree is still rife with match fixing.
Among their small number of victims are West Indian batsman Marlon Samuels and Kenyan captain Maurice Odumbe.
Given the amount of corruption going on, that's like fishing for Spanish mackerel and returning with two winter whiting. It is extraordinary, and worrying, that in 12 years they have not produced anything of genuine substance.
Sometimes at cricket games I watch the ICC corruption police walk with their earnest looks and fastened briefcases and ponder how exactly they spend their days.
Do they ever speak to cricketers off the record and ask them about corruption? Do they ever go into an illegal bookies den in India? Do they try to hunt down crooked players, or do they simply just float along, content that no news is good news?
They claim that the lack of convictions is a sign they are getting on top of corruption. Many argue it is a sign that it is happening under their nose and they simply cannot find it.
India TV identified the umpires in the sting and said three of them agreed to give favourable decisions, including in warm-up matches for the ICC World Twenty20 in Sri Lanka.
How much influence an umpire can have on a cricket game is debatable. But it really isn't the issue here. The cringing concern is that the noble profession of umpiring appears to have been corrupted.
One umpire shared the pitch and toss reports as well as playing line-ups for the warm-up match between England and Australia on September 17 in exchange for 50,000 rupees ($A940), according to India TV.
The ICC corruption unit argues that it is extremely challenging to catch match-fixers given the unit has no police powers and is not able to access private bank accounts or tap phones.
That may be the case. But they still should be doing better than they are.
Follow the action. Like Fox Sports.

From the makers of Super Stardust HD - another download game definitely worth investing in - comes this side-scrolling action puzzle adventure, which lights up the PlayStation Network with a healthy dose of good versus bad.
Take control of a silhouetted warrior, a scaramouche of warfare who certainly brings thunderbolts and lightning with his fight skills. Switching in and out of light and dark mode, our hero swipes his way through a host of enemies, with epic boss battles to contend with at the end - a throwback to the archetypical model of retro gaming.
Graphically, things are far from dated, with impressive, colourful and mystic visuals, flared-up to a fitting soundtrack. For more information, you can also find an in-depth review of Outland here on Reg Hardware. The game is also available at a discount rate on PSN this week.
Pac-Man Championship Edition DX
The videogame world has come a long way since the days when Pac-Man ruled the show, but that doesn't change the fact it is still an addictive experience that continues to keep fans thrilled.
This latest version builds on the Championship Edition and has been widely toted as the best Pac-Man ever. Collecting power pellets, Pac-Man is able to swallow ghosts and build up huge point-tallies in the process. Time also slows down when ghosts are about to strike, giving players more opportunity to change direction at the last minute and keep the momentum going.
The soundtrack is morbidly addictive, repetitive and fitting, speeding up with the game as a player's points increase. As an outsider looking in, Pac-Man Championship Edition DX can seem like a headache of arcade psychedelia, but once you get stuck in, it's a trip you won't regret.

No Battlefield 1943? This is the best downloadable game of this generation in my humble opinion. Endless hours of fighting online for supremacy on the Pacific islands
Aaaaah, Housemarque
Love their stuff. Super Stardust HD and its PSP port addicted me half to death. Had a quick bash on Dead Nation's co-op mode, but not given the single player chance to eat my free time yet. Outland looks like fun!
Amazed that Super Stardust isn't on this list, to be honest. It's one of those games that makes me adore my HDTV. I pick it up fairly regularly and run one of the more insane modes/levels, just to let it melt my fucking brain. (And the PS3 processor.)
What a lousy list of great games.
I mean these are all really good, but why include multiplatform titles. You could easilly filled that list with PSN exclusives that are unparalleled.
Not a single Pixeljunk game on the list? Come on...
I think you mean.
Nooooooooo Jooooooooooe D-D-D-D-Dangeerrrr!
It's not a great game, it's the only game.
Huh, I didn't even know it had been released -- I saw a flash demo version of a couple of scenes back in ... 2006? 2007? ..., and it was beautiful and intriguing, but never saw it had been released. Since I'm not a PSN user, I'm more than happy to see that it's available on the PC.

How stats made Auckland City Hospital's heart unit more efficient: Radio New Zealand
When Auckland City Hospital was experiencing a cardiac-surgery cancellation rate approaching 30%, staff decided to ask a statistician for help. The University of Auckland's Ilze Ziedins is an expert in queuing theory and probability who often works in areas such as telecommunications and traffic; she jumped at the chance to collaborate on a problem that involved people.
Ilze and two of her graduate students, William Chen and Kim Frew, set out to develop a mathematical model of the Cardiavascular Intensive Care Unit using R, a statistical environment and programming language initially developed at The University of Auckland by Ross Ihaka and Robert Gentleman.
The model used real-life data to investigate different staffing and resourcing scenarios, and as a result was able to confirm what hospital staff had suspected – that the Cardiac Intensive Care Unit was the bottleneck creating problems. The model was also able to suggest an optimal staffing regime that took into account the irregular arrival of people in the unit, either from the operating theatre or as the result of an emergency. As a result, ICU director Andrew Kee and other team members were able to allocate more staff and reduce the cancellation rate to about 10%.
Alison Ballance, of Radio New Zealand show Our Changing World, went to Auckland City Hospital to meet Ilze Ziedins and Cardiovascular Services Manager Pam Freeman. Listen to the 13-minute interview here.
Julie Middleton is an Auckland journalist with a keen interest in the way the media uses/abuses data. She happens to be married to a statistician. See all posts by Julie Middleton »

Very fascinating after just emerging from another of these as a patient. I should have jotted down some notes for Ilze!

We could lament the passing of independent children's bookstore Enchanted Forest, as we did in 2002, but the homogenization of American booksellers is a tired story by now. You're gonna end up going to one of a handful of chains in Dallas, and Borders is the best pick. One thing that's extremely helpful is that they organize books by reading levels--from baby on up--instead of slamming the books on the shelf by author's name (which you hardly ever know, since most children's-book buyers...

What with the competition of Amazon.com, peddling books out of retail outlets is becoming a risky business. That explains the arrival of pricey coffee drinks, greeting cards and various doodads that most bookstores now hawk. But for those literary types who still enjoy perusing the aisles in person, Borders offers the widest selection of books in town. That's it. End of story. More »
You've got to hand it to Borders. Their deep catalog cannot be beaten; to do better you have to go to Amazon.com, and do you really want to wait a week for a book you want to start reading tonight?

Thank you for your participation and interest in the Mises Community. This software platform has seen its day, however, and so is now closed. We are redoing our entire site, so look for some exciting developments by the end of the year. Thank you for your support of Austrian economics, liberty, and peace.
I've written two emails to the Mises editors at their email and have received no response.
Now, the first was a request to include Mises Daily articles on my website, giving full citations and linking. It's understandable if they decided to not reply so as to not embarrass me.
But the next time I sent them articles for the Mises Daily. The least they could have done was to either say "you suck" or "We have received your email and will consider your entry. Expect to hear back from us within 1 month."
I realize you're busy and under-funded, but bad customer relations are not how you go about doing business.
End Rant.
P.S. This is an even greater issue when the Dailies slow to a one-a-day trickle.
What exactly is the story with the mises.org front-end these days? Ever since they replaced the blog with that "Circle Bastiat" thing the comments have fallen off by maybe 95%, the Mises Dailies have slowed by two-thirds, and Jeffrey Tucker and Doug French (former president of the institute) and maybe some others don't seem to be around anymore at all. I know Tucker left to do his own thing, but it seems like there was some shake-up I missed.
Why anarchy fails
I emailed Tucker asking to whom I may direct my questions, and he said "Hi! I'm sorry that I just don't know the answer to your question. I'm now full time at LFB.org"
Maybe Tucker was a pivotal piece of the image of Mises.org, and now we see the LvMI empire crumbling away from the inside. I don't remember the last time I actually read an article or have gone to the main page of the site. Straight to the forums with me.
From what little I know Doug French and Jeff Tucker have moved over to Lassiez Faire books and Danny Sanchez is running the website as well as directing the MIses academy.
I don't know why it happened but ever since the new community and the new interface for mises.org things have gone downhill.
As with Bert I know skip the main page and head over here.
The atoms tell the atoms so, for I never was or will but atoms forevermore be.
Yours sincerely,
This, along with the closing of the forums, makes my task in creating LibertyHQ ever more pressing.

Drupal: A Global Army of Nerds
It's the DrupalCon Portland Floor Show! I went around the exhibitors' area and through the halls of the Oregon Convention Center asking two vital questions to our community: What is your favorite thing about Drupal? Why should other people come to DrupalCon?
All Podcasts
Shannon Vettes is the Partner Manager at Commerce Guys in Paris; the company leading the way in making Drupal the platform of choice for eCommerce. Among other things, she has the rewarding job of coordinating adding modules and services to the Commerce Marketplace and getting integrators involved in the platform, too.
In this episode – "Meet Angie Byron, Part 2: The Return of the Webchick" – we cover how Angie got into the Drupal project, how to hide under blankets, and how to break other people's modules.
I recently sat down at Acquia HQ with my friend and colleague, Angela "webchick" Byron. She is a Drupal core co-maintainer, book author, Drupal Association board member, public speaker, equality advocate, and all-around powerhouse contributor. Angie works with Drupal Lead, Dries Buyteart, in the Acquia Office of the CTO (OCTO): "My job is to make Drupal awesome. We figure out together what's the biggest thing holding Drupal back right now, and whatever it is, we just tackle it."
If you can, I would like you to make a donation to this IndieGoGo campaign to help Vincenzo Rubano DrupalCon Portland. What's this all about? Read on.
Lately, some people on the web have been making arguments like "It doesn't matter if a CMS is open source or proprietary. It's about features and service. I promise my (proprietary, license-fee charging) CMS will do what you need. Nobody cares about the rest." I call BS.
Matt Edmunds, UX Interaction Designer at Acquia, talks about his 9+ years of working with Drupal ... since version 4.3! This gave us the chance to reminisce about the days when we felt we could keep an eye on roughly the whole project on any given day or week. This was probably not truly the case back then and it certainly isn't now.
Kyle Browning, the Director of Mobile WorkHabit, talks about developing for Drupal as a mobile platform and the open-sourcing of the new Drupal Create app for iOS.
