Session Buzz: Who's Recording In & Around NYC – A Monthly Report
September 19, 2012 by Janice Brown
GREATER NYC AREA: For recording studios, this past summer had its typical ups and downs. But heading into Fall, bands like The Killers, The Vaccines and OneRepublic as well as artists like Tony Bennett, Kurt Vile, Sean Lennon, Rufus Wainright and more had been in NYC-area studios cranking on new and upcoming releases.

Downtown, The Killers recorded and mixed their new album Battle Born over the summer at Germano Studios – with Alan Moulder mixing (various producers). OneRepublic has also been recording their latest at Germano – tracking guitars, keyboards and mandolin with singer/producer Ryan Tedder producing and engineering
And in other Germano sessions… The Goo Goo Dolls were in writing and recording new materials with John Shanks producing and Dan Chase engineering… Chris Shaw mixed an Ozzy Osbourne live DVD release, with Bruce Dickinson producing…Robin Thicke recorded vocals with Paul Falcone engineering, as did Mary J. Blige (also with Falcone)… Singer Jessica Sanchez (American Idol) recorded vocals and programming with Harvey Mason, Jr. producing and Andrew Hey engineering…and tracking sessions for a new John Legend album (recording guitars, vocals, piano, harp, keyboards in Studio 1 & Studio 2) with Dave Tozer producing and Jason Agel engineering.
The Killers went from recording and mixing at Germano, to The Lodge Mastering where Emily Lazar and Joe LaPorta mastered Battle Born. The Lodge's mastering engineers Lazar, LaPorta and mastering engineer Heba Kadry have also recently mastered records by Dum Dum Girls, Imagine Dragons, Negramaro, Jeff Wayne's The War Of The Worlds, James Iha, The Sea and Cake, …And You Will Know Us By The Trail of Dead and Sarah Blasko.
Meanwhile, rapper Wale has been recording an upcoming project in Studios A and C at Manhattan Sound Recording Studios (MSR) in Midtown – with engineer Kevin Spencer and MSR assistant Gloria Kaba.
Also at MSR…Jazz artist/bassist Christian McBride has been mixing two upcoming albums – with Joe Ferla on the Euphonix System 5 in MSR's Studio B, assisted by Brett Mayer…the cast album for Broadway's Bring It On was tracked in Studio A by engineer Derik Lee and composer Alex Lacamoire for Sh-K-Boom! Records, and then mixed by engineer Tim Latham…and Derik Lee also recorded some cues for the film Greetings from Tim Buckley.
Sean Lennon brought his Ghost of the Sabre Tooth Tiger project to Sear Sound last month. Tom Schick mixed the album – for Lennon's label, Chimera Records – on Sear's Neve 8038 to ½" 2-track on the ATR-102 machine.
Also at Sear Sound…Rufus Wainwright tracked new material on Sear's Steinway "C" grand piano for Verve Records, with Sear's Chris Allen engineering…jazz bassist Dave Holland and his ensemble tracked a new album with James Farber engineering…Ron Saint Germain produced and engineered a new recording by classical pianist Tania Stavreva on the Steinway "D" concert grand…and vocalist Keiko Lee tracked via the custom Avalon/Sear console in Studio C with Jay Newland engineering and producing for Sony/Japan.

And all the way downtown at Engine Room Audio, 50 Cent was in the studio working with mastering engineer Mark B. Christensen to master his latest single, "New Day." The track – released on iTunes on July 31 – features Dr. Dre and Alicia Keys, and was mixed by Eminem.
Christensen also recently mastered NYC alt-rock band Weep's new album, Alate, and the new Trey Songz album, Chapter V, which came out in August and hit #1 on the Billboard 200 chart in its first week.
Meanwhile In Brooklyn…
Yuka Honda (Cibo Matto, Yoko Ono) booked time at Joe McGinty's Greenpoint synth studio, Carousel Recording, to record keyboard overdubs for Martha Wainwright's new album, Come Home To Mama, which she is producing.

DJ/producer Kid Koala collaborated with composer/producer/engineer Joel Hamburger on music for a new animated series and puppet show – both developed by Jhonen Vasquez – at Hamburger's Park Slope studio, GödelString. For the animated series, Kid Koala (aka Eric San) and Hamburger worked off of a theme composed by Vasquez, and for the puppet show score, improvised recording sessions with James McNew and Amy Posner of Dump on guitar and keyboard.
"For me, the thrill was in working as fast as possible to set up and capture the moment and then being able to enjoy the magic of having these sketches being transformed into fairly complete pieces and soundscapes," said Hamburger. "I also got to break out some of the great vintage keyboards we have at the studio."
At the new Degraw Studios in Gowanus, rock band The Skins recorded and mixed an upcoming release with producer/engineer Ben Rice. Rice also mixed a new EP for Elliot & The Ghost – produced by Jared Dodd, and recorded/mixed new material for indie-rock band Chainwave.

Over the summer, Boynton mixed a track for Rainbow Arabia, a project that continues there this month, and finished the new Vietnam' record – coming out early next year on Mexican Summer. Free Blood and Wild Yaks also mixed their latest with Boynton. Fred Nicolaus of Department of Eagles mixed his solo release with Boynton as well.
On the recording front, Boynton recently tracked and mixed two new songs for Hospitality and recorded (with Rob Laasko) a new song for Kurt Vile. Most recently, Boynton tracked a new song for UK artist Amy Studt, and The Vaccines came through while in Williamsburg between shows to track and mix a new song.
Also in Williamsburg, Grand Street Recording (<– new website) recently hosted the 8-piece indie-pop band, Sky Pony – led by Kyle Jarrow – to record and mix their new EP with engineer/producer Ken Rich.
Also at Grand Street, acoustic punk band The Narrowbacks recorded a full-length record with Tomek Miernowski…Noe Venable has been constructing an acoustic album "filled with unexpected sounds and compelling arrangements" – recorded by Ken Rich, and featuring Mathias Kunzli and Todd Sickafoose…

TV On The Radio Album, "Skins" Soundtrack Recorded At Headgear
March 3, 2011 by Janice Brown
The upcoming TV On The Radio record, Nine Types of Light — due out April 12 on Interscope Records — was largely recorded at Headgear in Brooklyn last May.
TVOTR's David Andrew Sitek produced the sessions, with engineer Zeph Sowers tracking. Headgear's Scott F. Norton also engineered a couple of days of tracking sessions with the band. Stream the awesome new track, "Will Do" below…
More recently, Headgear — the studio and friends/family of the studio — has had a hand in multiple tracks featured on MTV's Skins.
First, the Skins theme song, "Lina Magic" by 3D Friends (Daniel Chavez-Wright), was tracked at Headgear by producer/engineer (and former Headgear intern and assistant) Gabe Liberti.
Another featured track, Unsolved Mysteries' "You Only Live Once," was also tracked at Headgear and engineered by former Headgear intern, Colin Alexander. Alexander is the electronics maestro in Unsolved Mysteries and he releases his own original music under the name Tiny Specks of Many Things.
Next, the Many Colors song "Peaks and Valleys" also soundtracked a recent episode of Skins — Many Colors is Jackie Lin Werner, otherwise known as Headgear's studio manager. "Peaks and Valleys" was mixed by engineer Nick Smeraski, another Headgear alum.
Keepaway's song "Evil Lady" was also featured on Skins, and was tracked with Headgear's Kyle Boyd for their Baby Style EP.
Meanwhile, producer/engineer John Agnello has been working out of Headgear a bunch, most recently with Joy By Proxy, Andy Shernoff and Sons of Bill. Coming up, Cymbals Eat Guitars will be tracking and mixing their new album at Headgear with Agnello producing and engineering.
And back to TV On The Radio, listen to the advance single "Will Do" off Nine Types of Light here:

The SonicScoop Year in Review: Top NYC Music Business News and Trends of 2010
December 29, 2010 by David Weiss
THE FIVE BOROUGHS: 2010 has been busy all right. For anyone involved in New York City's expansive business of music – producer, publisher, entrepreneur, engineer, artist, and many more – the environment remains fast-paced, ultra-competitive and constantly changing.
With 2011 looming, SonicScoop looked for the news, trends and topics that stood out to us over the past 365 days.
In audio post, it was grow or die in the uppermost echelon. The biggest facilities, including hsr|ny, Nutmeg, and Sound Lounge made serious expansions into audio and/or video:
Sound Lounge opened an ADR Stage and multiple studios.
Nutmeg Post added a strong team and facility when it soaked up Soundhound.
The big post house Mega Playground built out audio capabilities.
Northern Lights added a 5.1 audio mixing suite.
Video house Click3X reversed the trend and added their own audio suite.
Celebrating 35 years in business, hsr|ny continued to expand as a full-service video and audio post facility.
Large and mid-sized recording/tracking/mixing studios kept making capital improvements and expanding:
Premier Studios took over the 8th floor at 723 7th Avenue.
Engine Room opened up its penthouse studio.
Stadium Red expanded with a new studio for Just Blaze and a mastering suite.
Platinum Studios added Augspurgers to Studio K.
Sear Sound set up the Moog-centric Studio D.
Tainted Blue swapped out its SSL for a Euphonix (nee Avid) System 5.
And props to Electric Lady for marking its 40th Anniversary.
Converse (yes, the shoe company) has an interesting business plan for the Rubber Tracks studio it's going to open in Williamsburg in 2011: no-cost recording.
Advanced smaller studios – independent and within larger facilities — and producer rooms also opened up at a peppy pace:
Chris Theberge's Music Works arrived on the Upper West Side.
The former One Point Six in Williamsburg was reborn as Three Egg Studios.
Manhattan Center Studios launched The Fuse Box with Public Enemy's Brian Hardgroove.
Avatar opened up its Studio W writing room.
Sisko's Min-Max Studios opened up in midtown.
Marc Alan Goodman announced an ambitious new expansion for Brooklyn's Strange Weather, then blogged about the buildout – step by step – for SonicScoop.
Guitarist Justin King moved his Vinegar Hill Sound from Portland, OR to DUMBO, Brooklyn.
Avid capped off a furious year of reinvention and new products with the release of Pro Tools 9.
Music houses and composers still had a ton of TV, film and video game work to go after and win:
Joel Beckerman of Man Made Music continued to make NYC a TV music powerhouse.
Composer Peter Nashel turned ears everywhere with his work for shows like Rubicon.
Outfits like Expansion Team scored for networks such as the Biography Channel.
Tom Salta understands how to get chosen to score for games like Prince of Persia and Red Steel 2.
Production music and synch licensing remained a solid business, especially for those who got in at the right time or had a smart approach.
NYC's Kingsize Music was acquired by 615 Music.
And later on Warner-Chappell (NYC) bought up 615 Music.
NYC's Videohelper released the "Scenarios" music search tool.
Jingle Punks continued to grow.
Mechanical licensing experts RightsFlow kept progressing.
One of NYC's most controversial music business plays, peer-to-peer file sharing network Limewire, appeared to be finally finished.
Tracking, mixing and mastering at NYC's established facilities did a relatively healthy volume of A-level and independent work throughout the year:
The Black Eyed Peas, Rivers Cuomo and Kanye West were at Germano Studios.
Neon Indian, Beach House, Matt and Kim, Bear Hands and more were mastered at The Lodge.
MSR Studios handled Kid Cudi, Evanescence and Broadway Cast recordings.
Lenny Kravitz, The Dirty Pearls, "Glee", and Vampire Weekend were all at Avatar.
Joe Lambert Mastering worked with Moby and Ninjasonik.
New software and hardware happiness abounded:
We elected many items "Buzzworthy" at AES, from Universal Audio, Focal, SSL, Burl, Shadow Hills, Izotope, Sound Toys, Lavry Engineering, Telefunken and more.
Propellerhead released Reason 5.
NYC suffered losses when beloved people and places left us:
Recording icon Walter Sear passed away.
The great hip hop/jazz experimentalist Guru was gone before his time.
Clinton Recording Studios hosted its last session.
Brick and mortar music retail took another hit when Fat Beats shuttered its last stores.
Baseline Studios, home of Just Blaze and countless Jay-Z hits, closed.
Chung King Studios started off 2010 with a bang by suddenly vacating Varick Street.
NYC-based producers, mixers, engineers and artists became businesses in their own right:
Producer Chris Coady worked on some hugely acclaimed records this year, including Beach House Teen Dream and Delorean Subiza, as well as records with Hooray for Earth, Zola Jesus, Smith Westerns, Cold Cave.
People like Allen Farmelo developed their distinctive sound.
Choice songwriter Claude Kelly made a business of hits.
Shane Stoneback's career took off via work with Sleigh Bells and Vampire Weekend.
Mixer Mark Saunders embraced multiple aspects of the biz from his studio at Beat 360.
Dream Theater's Jordan Rudess took his iPad/iPhone app MorphWiz all the way to #1.
Joel Hamilton continued down an immersive production path, working on records with Blakroc, Dub Trio, The Parkington Sisters and Blakroc.
And John Agnello brought his classic production and engineering technique to new records for Kurt Vile, J Mascis, Shayna Zaid And The Catch and Dead Confederate (among others).
The studio scene got a lot more socialicious and FUN:
Flux Studios was always hosting something in the East Village, like Alto and Dangerous converging for a schooling from Fab.
Digital Music NY was one of many popular business-based meetups.
Stadium Red partied down post-CMJ.
20dot20 mixed advertising and music.
And the Connectors connected a LOT of people.
What big stories would you include? And what do you see next in 2011? Don't be shy – leave a comment and let us know!

TEAMS: Chicago Bears
Chicago Bears fullback Evan Rodriguez was arrested in Miami early Thursday after allegedly refusing to cooperate with officers when a car her was riding in wrecked.The 24-year-old is facing charges of disorderly intoxication and resisting an officer. He was booked into the Miami Dade County Jail at 5:32 a.m. and released several hours later after posting $1,500 bail.From the USA TODAY:Rodriguez was riding with another man when they got into a crash around 9:30 p.m. Wednesday. An officer asked Rodriguez for his identification for the crash report, and Rodriguez reportedly responded, "For what, I don't need this, I'm an NFL player. I don't need all that media stuff."Rodriguez eventually handed over his ID but then walked away several minutes later without it. An officer told the driver to call Rodriguez and have him return to the crash scene, and Rodriguez came back.After returning, Rodriguez approached the officer administering a roadside sobriety test to the driver, police said. Rodriguez was told several times to wait on a sidewalk.Rodriguez reportedly said, "I'm hard-headed like that, and I don't have to listen."Rodriguez continued to yell at officers while failing to remain on the sidewalk as instructed. Police said Rodriguez began to make quite a scene and started drawing a crowd.According to the arresting officer, Rodriguez's speech was slurred, his eyes were blood shot, and his breath reaked of alcohol.The Bears are aware of the incident and have released the following statement:"We are currently gathering information to learn more about the circumstances surrounding the situation," the statement said.Via USA TODAY

I am doing an electrical design project on an existing building.
Does anybody have a good strategy for assigning/estimating the existing electrical loads?
Is there anyway to do some sort of hybrid panel schedule that will accept manual input and modeled loads.
If you are not concerned with the load classifications, you can assign a Spare along with a name and load. Otherwise, I would suggest creating an "Existing Load" Family and assign it to a Category that you do not use and can keep turned off (i.e. Site). Draw a box and put an electrical connector on it, and make Voltage, Number of Poles, etc. Instance parameters. Place one instance of this family to simulate one existing load.

When working with a classroom of students, teachers must remember to treat each pupil as an individual. Even though bunched together in one class, not all students learn a subject in the same way, and different students have their own methods of demonstrating what they know. To help each individual student reach his or her potential, teachers must learn to differentiate instruction.
About differentiated instruction
Differentiating instruction is a technique that teachers use to accommodate each student's learning style and instructional preferences. This strategy may involve teaching the same material to all students using a variety of instructional methods, or it may require the teacher to teach content at varying levels of difficulty based on the readiness and ability of each student. Teachers who practice differentiation in the classroom may also assess student learning using multiple tools.
Differentiated instruction examples
Educators can differentiate instruction for their students in a variety of ways. Below are some of the most effective strategies teachers can use to accommodate individual students in the classroom.
Changes to the learning environment
- While some students prefer a learning environment in which they can discuss subject matter with their peers, other students would rather learn alone. Teachers who provide both types of environments within the same classroom are practicing an example of differentiated instruction.
- Some teachers differentiate instruction by incorporating classroom materials and decor that reflect a variety of home situations, cultures and life choices.
Assessment variations
- Educators can easily differentiate instruction by allowing students to choose from among several assessment options. For example, students may be able to demonstrate their knowledge on a particular unit by taking a test, writing a paper or completing a presentation with visual aids.
- To ensure that all students' growth is measured on an individual basis, some teachers create customized rubrics for each student at the beginning of a unit.
Modifying content
- Some students learn better through direct instruction, while others would rather read or look at pictures. Some teachers differentiate instruction in the classroom by offering options to students during lessons. For example, students may be able to learn the same material by reading a book, listening to a lecture on tape or completing an interactive assignment online.
- Because some students learn course material faster than others, teachers may also differentiate instruction by tailoring each student's lesson for the day to his or her skill level.
Varying support
- Not all students require the same amount of support from the teacher. While some students may benefit from one-on-one interaction with a teacher or classroom aide, others may be able to progress by themselves. Teachers can enhance student learning by offering support based on individual needs.
- Finally, teachers can differentiate instruction in the classroom by allowing students to choose between working in groups with other students or completing assignments individually.

The Ontario Reign remain hot away from home, winning their last five games on the road, including a two-game sweep against the Utah Grizzlies Friday (4-3) and Saturday (3-2 in overtime) at the Maverik Center.
After a scoreless first period to open up Friday's game, the Grizzlies got on the board first after Simon Furgusen scored on a 5-on-3 power-play in the second. However, the Reign rallied back and scored three unanswered goals to take a 3-1 lead into the third.
First, Aaron Lewdniuk picked off a pass in the Utah zone and fired a shot past Grizzlies goalie Jean-Phillipe Lamoureux, to tie the game Less than two minutes later, Jordan Hill fed Luke Beaverson with a pass at the blue line. Beaverson ripped a rocket on net and Chaz Johnson buried the rebound to give the Reign a 2-1 lead. With 2:15 left in the period and already down a man, Brett O'Malley hit teammate Michael Pelech with a long pass and beat Lamoureux for the shorthanded goal to give the Reign a two-goal lead heading into the third.
Seven minutes into third period, Grizzlies forward Tyler Ruegsegger trimmed the lead down to 3-2. Ontario fought back and reclaimed their two-goal lead late in the third. After Pelech won a draw deep in the Utah, Lane Caffaro blasted his shot through traffic and past Lamoureux to make it 4-2 Onatrio.
With just over two minutes left in regulation, Grizzlies coach Kevin Colley pulled his netminder for the extra attacker. The move paid off when Tim Crowder beat Ontario goalie Kellen Briggs to bring his team within one. However, Nick Tuzzolino took a hooking penalty with 1:30 remaining and the Reign controlled the puck the rest of the period to complete the victory.
Briggs turned aside 31 shots in the victory and Lamoureux saved 26 in the loss.
On Saturday night, Lewadniuk once again got the Reign's first goal when he rang a shot off the post and past Utah goalie Andrew Engelage for the 1-0 lead. The Reign struck again in the second when Dusty Collins accepted a pass from Shawn Collymore and snapped it through traffic and gave the Reign a 2-0 lead.
Utah fought back and tied things up in the third. Matt Clarke broke up Briggs' shutout midway through the period and Tuzzolino found the back up the net late to send the game into overtime tied 2-2.
In overtime, Jeff Corey received a beautiful pass from David Walker and blasted the game-winner past Engelage to complete the two-game sweep.
Briggs stopped 37 shots for his seventh win of the season. Engelage stopped 21 shots in the loss. Lewadniuk is currently on a three-game goal scoring streak.
After the sweep, Ontario improves to 8-10-0-1, tying them with the Bakersfield Condors for third place in the Pacific Division with 17 points.With the losses, Utah falls to 11-6-3-1 and second in the Mountain Division.
The Reign will return home to Citizens Business Bank Arena to take on the Las Vegas Wranglers Wednesday night. The Grizzlies will be back on the ice Friday night when they take on the Reign in a rematch at Ontario.

Sounds like they are as hard or thick as small rifle primers, which also will not fire unless struck HARD.
I have a whole bunch, but haven't tried them yet.

I'm trying to find out if I got a bad batch of Tula primers or if the springs on my guns are too light to reliably detonate hard primers. No exaggeration, about 20-30% of all the rounds I load using Tula small pistol primers do not detonate (light primer strike). I've shooting them through 2 Glock .40s and a CZ-75 .40. I know Tula primers are supposed to be pretty hard but this is ridiculous. This is something that's been going on for months now. I usually don't use them but a friend of mine has a few thousand and I buy some off him sometimes, so these are coming out of the same box of 1000.
Has anyone else had this much trouble with Tula primers? I've never had this problem with Federal or CCI.

I have a whole bunch, but haven't tried them yet.
I'm almost through my 2nd thousand with pretty good luck. I get an occasional light strike - maybe 1 in a batch of 100 - which for range practice is not a big deal to me in light of the savings. And I have very light springs in my gun.
I've also had good luck with my Tula primers. For me, they work as well as the other primers. I'm shooting a GP100 revolver, XDM, and a CZ 75 Phantom.
I had some Tula primers once. Thru my glock they ran about 2-3% that wouldn't fire. That's with stock springs. No more Tula primers for me.
"When you try to use bad means to achieve good objectives, the end result is likely to be that the badness of means will triumph over the goodness of the objectives." - Milton Friedman
My Ruger/Taurus revolvers and PA-63 in 9 x 18 Mak. and Hi Point C9 all eat the Wolf/Tula SP same primer different package with no issues.
I have had tula factory ammo with hard primers. Notice the strikes look deep enough, but they did not go off. My kahr pm9 eats everything else without a hic-up.
When the 2nd Amendment speaks of a well-regulated militia, it means local groups of individuals operating to protect their own families, homes, and communities. They regulated themselves because it was necessary and in their own interest to do so. The Founders themselves wrote in the Federalist papers about the need for individuals to be armed.
Gun control makes people demonstrably less safe--as any honest examination of criminal statistics reveals. It is no coincidence that violent crime flourishes in the nations capital, where the individuals right to self-defense has been most severely curtailed. (Ron Paul)
Its very gun dependant. I have used them and will continue to use them since they are so cheap. My sons G34 has a tendancy to light strike due to the lighter trigger we had installed. However, all my revolvers work great as do the 1911's.
What I have seen with striker fired guns is that they can be sensitive to primer depth. If the primer is even a little high in the pocket then tend to just seat them when struck and while it wil dimple the primer a lot of the force is spent on seating the primer and not detonating it. Take a close look at you primer depth of the ones that did not go off.
Also, will they fire on the second strike or are they just dead?
^i concur with brian
primers are held in place via an interference or "press" fit. tula primers are harder than most other brands. therefore, you've gotta push a little harder than normal to get them fully seated, which means getting a pre-load on the anvil. if they aren't fully seated, the firing pin will just push the primer further into the pocket. if you're priming with a hand-priming tool, you may need to go to on-press priming to get enough leverage to seat them fully. if that doesn't work, then it's your gun.
and never try to seat a primer further after the case has been charged.
I know about the primer seating depth factor and I'm pretty careful to seat them fully. It's possible I was slack about that though.
Oddly enough, my 1911 must have extra strong springs because I hardly ever have light strikes when I'm shooting it, even with Tula primers.
It wouldn't be that your 1911 would have a stiff or hard spring, it would be a loose or weak spring since the spring is acting to hold it back....
My 1911 guns pop every kind of primer as do the revolvers. Its usually the striker guns that have issues with high primers. But then again, its super cheap primers so there could very well be lots of quality issues. That is why I use em for my practice and plinking ammo and never my match ammo.
Disclaimer-this is my opinion and yours may vary.
The difference in price between Tula primers and CCI or Federal is so negligible in my opinion that it's not worth it to keep messing with them.
I shot a batch of someone else's .45 reloads through my 1911 a few weeks ago and there were a few light strikes due to noticeably "proud" primers, so I know that the 1911 (I have a colt gold cup trophy) can have light primer strikes but just less frequently.
At the recent Raleigh Dixie gun show, Georgia Arms had Tula primers for $20 per 1k and Winchester primers for $30 per 1k. That is only a difference of .01 per primer. I bought 5k of the Tula primers.
I've shot a few hundred Tula LPP without a hitch. I've been using them for .45 loads for my 1911. I picked up more from Georgia Arms at the last Raleigh gun show and I just acquired a few thousand SPP from Powder Valley to try.

- Distinguishing between keto–enol and acid–base forms of firefly oxyluciferin through calculation of excited-state equilibrium constants
Olle Falklöf and Bo Durbeej
Article first published online: 16 SEP 2014 | DOI: 10.1002/jcc.23735
Aqueous keto–enol and acid–base excited-state equilibrium constants between six neutral, monoanionic, and dianionic forms of oxyluciferin—the cofactor responsible for the bioluminescence of firefly luciferase—are for the first time calculated from free energies of a Born–Haber cycle, rather than using the Förster equation. Thereby, it is found that the phenolate-keto-OxyLH– monoanion is the preferred excited-state form of oxyluciferin in aqueous solution, attributing a potential key role to this species in the bioluminescence of fireflies.

Using chiral molecules as an approach to address low-druggability recognition sites The reported theoretical study on the DrugBank database shows that the content of chiral atoms or structural complexity correlates well with relevant physicochemical properties of drugs and their target's recognition site, including its hydrophobic character and druggability. The reported results set the basis for a better understanding of protein–drug recognition and for the inclusion of target information in the filtering of large ligand libraries for drug discovery.
- Efficiency of perturbation-selection and its orbital dependence in the SAC-CI calculations for valence excitations of medium-size molecules
Ryoichi Fukuda and Masahiro Ehara
Article first published online: 15 SEP 2014 | DOI: 10.1002/jcc.23729
The efficiency and accuracy of the perturbation-selection for the SAC-CI calculations are investigated for excited states of 21 medium-size molecules. Benchmark SAC-CI calculations with up to 110 million operators are performed. The efficiency of the selection using the canonical and localized MO (LMO) is also examined. Except for highly symmetric molecules, using LMOs improves the efficiency and accuracy. The perturbation-selection with LMOs is a promising method for excited states in larger molecules.
- The solvent effect on two competing reaction mechanisms involving hypervalent iodine reagents (λ3-iodanes): Facing the limit of the stationary quantum chemical approach
Oliver Sala, Hans Peter Lüthi and Antonio Togni
Article first published online: 15 SEP 2014 | DOI: 10.1002/jcc.23727
Hypervalent iodine compounds, in particular λ3-iodanes, have gained considerable attention in synthesis. However, little is known about the mechanistic details. Exploring the reaction mechanism of an iodane reagent with a nucleophile (acetonitrile), we show that the same products may be obtained via two different reaction mechanisms. These show a very distinct response to the effect of the solvent; the correct prediction of the mechanism will call for an explicit treatment of the solvent.

A collection of atomic radii, which determines the distribution of dielectric constants around the solute, is an important parameter for the Poisson–Boltzmann implicit solvent. For accurate estimation of the salvation free energy of proteins, a new parameter was developed based on results from explicit solvent simulations. New radii showed good agreement with the explicit solvent simulations for large peptides at the level of the small molecular fragment.

If you could have dinner with one celeb of your choice.. who would you pick and where would you take him or her?
Probably Emma Stone and I'd take her to LadyM's Cake Boutique in New York. So it's dessert, rather than dinner, but she seems like such a hoot to hang out with, and that place is the best ever.
If it has to be a guy I'd probably say Darren Criss, to the same place, for the same reasons. Also, I think if I took any other guy celeb to a cake shop they'd probably laugh at me.

Women Want Annual Pap Smear Despite Guidelines
Feb. 2, 2005 -- Most women want annualeven when their doctors say they're not necessary.
In a recent nationwide survey, more than two-thirds of the women said they would want a yearly Pap smear even if their doctor recommended less frequent testing. A similar percentage planned to continue getting the test for the rest of their lives.
Current guidelines call for screening most women over age 30 every two or three years if they have a recent history of three or more consecutive normal Pap smears. Cervical cancer screening is generally not recommended for women over 65 or 70 or for women who have had hysterectomies.
More frequent screening isn't just costly, an expert tells WebMD. It also increases the likelihood that a patient will be harmed due to the large number of unnecessary biopsies that result from false-positive tests.
"There is little question in my mind that over-screening is harmful," San Francisco ob-gyn George F. Sawaya, MD, tells WebMD. "Many patients think the move away from annual testing is driven by cost, but it is really about trying to minimize harm."
Skepticism High
Only about 40% of the women who took part in the survey knew that annual cervical cancer screening was no longer routinely recommended. When told this, half the women questioned said they thought the change was driven by economic considerations.
"We found a high degree of skepticism among the women about the motivation for the move toward less frequent screening," researcher Brenda Sirovich, MD, tells WebMD. Such concerns were strongly predictive of a refusal to accept less-than-annual screening, she adds.
"Even among women who believed scientific evidence, and not cost, was responsible for the guideline changes, almost half said they still wanted a yearly Pap test."
Sirovich says she was most surprised to find that women who had undergone hysterectomies and therefore had little or no risk for developing cervical cancer were just as likely to continue annual screening.
"It is hard to say what is going on there," she says. "This test has been around for 60 years and doctors have spent much of that time trying to convince women to have [a Pap smear]. It may be that many doctors fear that they would undermine their patients' trust if patients are now told that they don't need it or don't need it as often."
Getting Women in the Door
In an editorial accompanying the research, Sawaya wrote that many doctors may also be reluctant to abandon annual Pap smears because it gets women to come in for other health services. He tells WebMD that it is common for doctors to require a Pap test before prescribing oral birth control, even though the practice is not recommended.
Sawaya says convincing women that an annual Pap smear may do them more harm than good is likely to be a hard sell. But it is important, he adds, to maximize the benefits and minimize the harm of cervical cancer screening.
"Right now, we do a very poor job of explaining the down side of screening to low-risk women," he says.

Jungle Beat was never going to be a bad game but the innovative control scheme and the deep combo-mechanic have elevated it to a genuinely excellent one.
A very polished, well made game that breaks new ground in platforming; I highly recommend this game for anyone seeking a change from the traditional platformer or anyone who doesn't have a great interest in video games to begin with.
Jungle Beat may be the only game to make good use of the bongos, but it does one hell of a job.

Flora Week 3 (June 1-June 3)
I cannot imagine how I forgot to do this. My week was basically characterized by me watching The Walking Dead and Modern Family. I don't know if I matters since I have nothing exceptional to say. Realistically you don't want me to go on about all of the aspects of the show that went right. Well, let me tell you that it was a successful weekend… Assuming I am recalling this information correctly. It already feels like ages ago and I can't quite remember.
I will say though that the lack of disasters is both good and bad for me. It's good because I do something other than sitting on my behind for two and a half hours. It's bad for the obvious reason that something bad happened.
Anyway I won't keep going on and on about my enormous power and responsibility as the assistant stage manager (yeah I have a title!). I do like this job though. It might not be the most exciting but it is definitely a start and gets me out of the house, which my mom appreciates.
Keep a look out though this week for another few posts. I will have the fourth week report and… wait for it… interviews with the actors! Woot!

You are currently browsing the daily archive for April 2, 2009.
This week's questions asks: I saw that National Library week is coming up in April, and that led to some questions. How often do you use your public library and how do you use it? Has the coffeehouse/bookstore replaced the library? Did you go to the library as a child? Do you have any particular memories of the library? Do you like sleek, modern, active libraries or the older, darker, quiet, cozy libraries?
Funny thing, I was just at the library this afternoon, so I would say I use it quite a bit. Besides for checking out books, I also use the library as a place for studying, working on group projects, and a place for my math tutor and I to slave away on calculus. I still have my original library card — the one I signed with big, capital letters when I was five — and spent quite a bit of time at the library as a child. I like my public library; it's kind of a mixture of modern and sleek and quiet and cozy.
Gone with the Wind is daunting. With 1,037 pages, the book is large enough to incite a knee-jerk reaction and shove the book back on the shelf. Yet, thanks to Matt's read-along, I cracked open the cover and began "the most revered American saga."
"Scarlett O'Hara was not beautiful, but men seldom realized it when caught by her charm as the Tarleton twins were." (pg. 3)
Thus begins Margaret Mitchell's classic American novel staring Scarlett O'Hara and Rhett Butler. I must warn you though, this review is only going to scratch the surface of my thoughts on the novel since I went so in-depth in my posts about each section of the book — Chp. 1-9, Chp. 10-25, Chp. 26-37, Chp. 38-50, and Chp. 51-63 — and because I want it to remain spoiler-free.
Basically, I loved this novel. I'm enamored with Mitchell's writing – both the style and the story – although, I did find it difficult to figure out what Prissy, Mammy, and Pork were saying in the beginning. I felt extremely invested in Scarlett's story like I was right there attending balls with her, running from the Yankees with her, picking cotton with her, and fighting with Rhett with her.
However, I did waffle between giving this book a four or a five because there were parts where I just wanted Mitchell to get on with the story, but I my growing affection for this novel won out. It pulled me in, refused to let me go, even after I turned the final page, and now I'm contemplating my own ending to the novel. Although, I must point out that Mitchell wrote the ending before she wrote anything else, which is probably why she never wrote her own sequel. {She also originally named her main character Pansy O'Hara, and only changed it at her editor's demands.}
Paper Cuts, the New York Times' book blog, had a post up about whether or not Scarlett is actually a heroine, but I am inclined to say that she is. True, she's still very self-centered and looks for scandal at every corner – the only thing holding her back and keeping her proper is her mother, Ellen, but that deterrent eventually subsides – but Gone with the Wind would be incredibly boring if Scarlett acted like Melanie twenty-four seven.
It's an amazing read, and I would recommend you check it out the next time you're at the library.

Testing & Quality Assurance
What Testing Services does IVIS Group offer?
Testing, if carried out well, leads to better software quality, contributing to the development of "fit-for-purpose" systems that work according to the requirements, quality attributes and expectations, either implicit or other. It provides insight into the quality of the system, which instils confidence in the system. Testing prevents damage while the system is live because errors have been detected during testing and solved on time, taking away the cause of systems failure.
An important aspect to note is that software testing can be implemented at any time in the software development process, depending on the development model, but in general would produce better quality software if performed earlier in the software development lifecycle.
There are also many type of testing including unit testing, functional testing, regression testing and performance testing to name a few. Excluding unit testing, all other type of testing are usually best carried out by a dedicated team to ensure reduction of competing priorities.
IVIS Group offer Test Strategy and Planning services and able to provide test teams to help your organisation through all of the test cycles, or selected phases. For example, Systems Integration Testing, Application/Development Performance Testing, Website performance testing, Regression Testing, User Acceptance Testing and Operational Acceptance Testing (handing over projects to live support teams.
Why IVIS Group?
At IVIS Group we also develop commercial packaged software, and share the same development and speed-to-market/speed-to-customer challenges that you face.
IVIS Group Quality Assurance testers are efficient at executing the test cycles, but they are not mechanical. They often identify why testing is failing and feedback into the development/implementation lifecycle. They contribute to a debate about process and design improvements.
Contact us to learn more about how IVIS Group Quality Assurance consultants can help your business today in delivering testing excellence to your customers; whether external or internal business users.

is hurting, bashing on someone with criticism, and blaming them for their mistakes in order to make them grow better than telling them white lies in order to comfort them? what would you do for your good friend? this is something i've recently come to think about.. honestly i've always preferred someone to be understanding and tell me white lies in order to comfort me.. i would rather try to avoid as much criticism and reality and possible.. but your bluntness and honesty has come to make me realize some things.. maybe sometimes people do really need to be faced with the truth and as much criticism as possible in order for them to strive for success no matter how much it hurts.. regardless i rather be loving and take the side of the people i care dearly <3

The fine art of negotiating a florist, or any vendor
One of the most popular electives at my law school is Interviewing, Negotiations, and Counseling (INC). Students learn the basics of interviewing parties, negotiating agreements and advising clients on their best options. It also has no final exam. I always wanted to take this course but something always got in the way. Either it wasn't offered or I had other requisites taking my time.

Glasgow & District Wargaming Society
Wappinshaw 2005
Wappinshaw is the annual Glasgow wargames show - a showcase for the hobby in Scotland's largest city. The 2005 event was held on 2 March 2005 at Woodside Halls.
The GDWS demo game was Dyrrachion 1081. Staged by the Display Team of Dave Watson, Liam Entwistle, Andy McGeary and George Dick.
In May 1081 Robert Guiscard and his Norman/Italian army landed at Avlona on the Albanian coast. He marched north to lay siege to the Byzantine regional capital Dyrrachion (modern Durres).
The recently enthroned Byzantine Emperor Alexios 1 had marched west to relieve the city. As the garrison was under no immediate pressure (having destroyed the siege tower) many advised him to wait arguing that, with the Normans blockaded by land and sea, time was on the Emperor's side. Alexios favoured the attack and planned a flanking move by light forces through the marshes whilst his main army fell on the Norman camp. However, Guiscard's scouts spotted the move and he advanced out of his camp to face the Byzantine army.
As with most medieval battles, the size and composition of the two armies is difficult to assess. Our main source being the Emperor's daughter Anna Comnena. Her figure of 30,000 Normans is probably excessive but it included some 1300 heavily armoured Norman cavalry supported by light cavalry and foot with spear, bow and crossbow. The Byzantine army included some 7000 cavalry plus Turkish horse. The infantry core was the 1400 strong Varangian Guard, 4000 Armenian foot together with levy foot spearmen, archers and slingers. The total Byzantine army probably did not exceed 22,000.
The battle began with the Varangians advancing. Feint attacks from the Norman centre were driven off by archers. The Norman right now charged the Varangian left flank but while they stood firm the Byzantine left counterattacked driving Count Ami's forces towards the shore in panic. They were rallied later by Guiscard's wife Sichelgaita, in full armour.
However, the Varangians also pursued the beaten Normans leaving themselves exposed to an attack on their right by Norman spearmen supported by crossbows. This left the weaker Byzantine centre and right exposed to the full force of the Norman heavy cavalry. They soon disintegrated with the exception of the guard units who resisted long enough for the Emperor to flee. Even a belated sortie from the city failed to turn the tide.
The battle was refought using 28mm figures from a variety of manufacturers, although mostly from the Gripping Beast ranges. The rules are Warhammer Ancient Battles (WAB). The scenario was originally designed before the publication of the Warhammer Historical 'Byzantium – Beyond the Golden Gate' sourcebook.
For fuller details of the Battle and army lists see Dyrrachion 1081 at the Balkan Military History website.
For the record the Byzantines did somewhat better in the re-fight. Some more photies of the game.

San Diego Heating Heat Pumps for Effective Operation
Some San Diego heating heat pumps do not require ducts. They are simply fixed to the wall and operate from there. They are usually energy efficient, very compact and most of the times provide sanitary hot water to homes. It is important to note that heat pumps suck in thermal air and convert it to either cool air or warm air depending on the inside conditions of the house. There are heat pumps that use hydronic technology. This is where they capture the outside heat either from a water source or the ground. They are very quiet and use less power than other models making them ideal for people who want to save on electricity.
