Brandon was born just two months after DAYS OF OUR LIVES star Alison Sweeney, and six weeks after MISS MATCH/BRACEFACE star Alicia Silverstone...all within the same year.
5' 10" (1.78 m)--
? (? - present) 2 children
Brandon was originally selected to play the part of 'Kevin Arnold' in "The Wonder Years" (1988) but was replaced at the last minute by Fred Savage
Shot in both arms following a traffic dispute September 3, 1996.
Parents: Richard and Elyse.
Siblings: Dee Anne, Tandi and Dustin.
When "Baywatch" (1989) was picked up for syndication, Brandon was asked to leave the cast. This was due to his having grown (within the past year or so) almost as tall and muscular as star David Hasselhoff. Hasselhoff, who was now producing the show as well as starring on it, wanted to let "Hobie Buchannon" remain a young boy for a few more seasons. Accordingly, Call was replaced by Jeremy Jackson...who was three years younger and dark-haired instead of blond (and supposedly has a much better singing voice than Brandon's).

Step inside Patel Brothers, a large, stand-alone building sandwiched between U.S. Bank and McDonald's along the crowded, chaotic strip of South Nashville known as Nolensville Road, and you could easily forget you're in Tennessee. The atmosphere of this Indian market is bare-bones ambiance: plain floors, fluorescent lights, handwritten signs marking prices on produce--a far cry from the colorful signage and warm lighting of your average American grocery store--but, nonetheless, crowded, here on a weekday afternoon. Rocco and I are wandering the aisles, first the fresh produce, then the organic section (because, yes, this international store has its own organic section, made up largely of foods from 24 Mantra, a brand based in Hyderabad that's committed to offering foods that are pesticide-free), then each section one by one, while Tim's in a meeting next door. Rocco had gotten antsy in the car, walking around seemed like a good way to keep him entertained and, mostly, after spending a … [Read more...]
Roasted Baby Broccoli with Chili, Lemon and Dill
It's morning. I wake up, feed Rocco, put him back in his crib to play, read Deuteronomy, take a shower, make a smoothie and kiss Tim goodbye. Armed with a detailed list that's grouped by stores and then store sections (i.e., produce, pantry, meat, dairy, bread), I get in the car, plug in a podcast and head to the first of four grocery stores* I aim to knock out before Rocco again needs to eat. This is 2016, the year of meal-planning and sticking to the food budget, and that means early weekday mornings are my time to shop. Grocery shopping didn't used to be my favorite thing. I mean, it was my favorite thing when I was a teenager with a new driver's license, rich with free time and feeling that euphoric buzz of independence going to the store with Mom and Dad's money to get whatever kind of ice cream sounded good to me. My parents' house was just a mile from competing grocery stores that sit across the street from one another in suburban Chicagoland, and I watched each one go … [Read more...]
Cashew Cream Raw Chocolate Cheesecake
When I think Valentine's Day, I think chocolate, so this February we're talking chocolate cheesecake, and not just any chocolate cheesecake, but raw chocolate cheesecake (or at least raw-ish), inspired by a dessert I've loved at Nashville's Avo, made with cashew cream and topped with a chocolate drizzle. It's rich, it's decadent, it's kind of a sacrificial splurge for the food budget, but, when it comes to treating someone else, I figure, those are all the perfect things for it to be. Rocco has this stuffed fox that's been with him since before he could know it was there---sitting near him in the carseat or the crib, coming along with us on long trips or to friends' houses, nowadays flopping around in his active hands while he plays in the mornings after waking up. I won it on an Instagram giveaway last spring, back when the idea of an actual child emerging from my increasingly large belly seemed unreal (in some ways, still does) and picturing someone I could hold in my hands … [Read more...]
Buckwheat Cheese Crackers with Rosemary
We were at the store to pick up a cart's worth of water when I spotted it: a red box of those classic yellow cheese crackers in someone else's load. I haven't had cheese crackers like those in six years or more, but as soon as I saw them, just like that, I couldn't get the salty, cheesy taste of them off my mind. When we got home, it turned out we were out of all flours but buckwheat, but then I spotted this recipe online. And if you, like me, don't immediately think buckwheat when you think cheese cracker, let me tell you, this recipe could be the thing to make that change. These crackers are killer! Addictive and salty and easy to pop by the handful. I used Bob's Red Mill organic whole-grain buckwheat flour, which creates a darker, grayer look than some other brands, but the taste was, no question, such a perfect, nutty complement to the cheese, I am honestly shocked I've never had buckwheat and cheddar together before. I don't usually go posting new recipes within 24 hours of one … [Read more...]
Spiced Pepper and Onion Vegetarian Tacos
The last few months, alongside moving and a kitchen renovation and getting ready for The Einkorn Cookbook's launch, I've been jetting back and forth to the Chicago suburbs. One of our family members has been in and out of the hospital, so there's been a lot of talking to doctors, feeling angry/depressed/confrontational about the lack of real food in hospital cafeterias, sitting in rooms waiting, listening (a lot of listening) and laughing at the funny ways my parents introduce us to nurses, doctors and friends. ("They drink kombucha. Do you like kombucha?") Sitting in hospitals tends to be the kind of thing to make you feel powerless, like there's nothing your hands can do, but I've found some of the best things my hands do are release their grip and trust. That, and make food. When everything else is in crisis, people still need food to eat. And, maybe this is our finally working kitchen talking, but being able to cook and prepare your own food is such a privilege. One of the last … [Read more...]
Blueberry Peach Crisp from Vibrant Food
It happens to me every year. Sometime about the end of June, when our CSA is in full swing and the daylight's stretching past 8 p.m., I marvel at the sweetness of the season around me, so hot and bright and full. We open our fridge and it's packed with greens. We go to the store and come home with pints of blueberries. Our coats are stuffed in the closet, far away from everyday thought, and our flip-flops are near the door, ready to be slipped on as we pop out for an afternoon walk or drive. I love summer in part because of treasures like these that it gives me: greater freedom, greater daytime, a rich color palette. But I love it most for the very fact that it is so clearly, undeniably being given to me, not being earned or created on my own. Whether or not I think about the seasons, whether or not I remember that April or May in Nashville usually means higher temps, the earth knows to switch, day by day, progressively to summer, just like it will know to switch, day by day, to fall … [Read more...]
Light and Buttery Nut Flour Crepes with Roasted Fruit
I can't remember the last time I was as excited about a cookbook as I have been about The Homemade Flour Cookbook, written by Erin Alderson of Naturally Ella, just published a few weeks ago. (And you know I get excited about a lot of cookbooks.) It's not only because it's by one of my favorite bloggers, someone who is at once wildly talented and also the opposite of self-important. When you sit down with Erin, like we got to last year, you find out she's funny and honest about her own shortcomings and, only after quite a bit of talking do you realize, also one of the most hard-working people you know. When we met her, she was a teacher and a blogger and planning her wedding and getting ready to move and writing a cookbook. You know, no big deal. She has since turned in a second manuscript for what will be her second cookbook, but if you're reading this and thinking she's Superwoman, all you have to do is read posts like this one or this one to hear her pop all bubbles of pretension, … [Read more...]
Honey-Sweetened Gluten-Free Almond Butter Cake
"I want to be famous to shuffling men who smile while crossing streets, sticky children in grocery lines, famous as the one who smiled back.

In over 40 years of business travel i'd had no reason to stay in Bath.
Th a Lady Wifes birthday was here and she said she wanted a visit to the City. This is a very nice, welcoming hotel. We booked for one night but stayed over an extra night. Great staff, great rooms and an exceptional location. I love the City and we will be back to this hotel.

The dynamic environments where Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are being deployed, nowadays, necessitate the design of appropriate middleware architectures which provide flexible mechanisms to adapt application behavior while making wise utilization of the constrained resources. In combination with heterogeneity issues which usually appear in such networks, this results in high complexity of the application development typically involving the usage of a low or high level programming language in order to assure efficient operation of the network. To deal with these challenges, a modular middleware architecture is proposed which supports a programming abstraction based on the automation domain notion of function blocks (FBs). The network is (re)programmed with new applications in the form of mobile agents which are injected from a base station, while the Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) paradigm is adopted considering the function blocks as services distributed in the WSN nodes according to the resources of the underlying devices. Each agent is a schematic description of wirings between function blocks which are allocated by the middleware in the neighborhood of a target node, being in this way highly autonomous and adaptive, while presenting low resource utilization overhead as it is shown by an application case study.

The World Since 1945: A Brief History / Edition 1by Daniel R. Brower

Tracing global events from the last years of the Second World War until the Iraq war of 2003, this brief but comprehensive volume on contemporary world history argues that the most profound transformation of global relations in this period has been the fall of the last colonial empires and the triumph of nation-states. The World Since 1945 offers its readers a basic chronology of the major events that have marked the history of the last half-century. Author Daniel Brower begins with a succinct discussion of the Second World War's revolutionary impact on the course of global affairs, emphasizing the disappearance of Western colonial empires and the beginning of the Cold War conflict between the Soviet Union and the United States. He concludes with an analysis of the rise of Islamic terrorism and the international crisis leading to the U.S. war in Iraq 2003. The narrative account emphasizes three major factors that have shaped the key events in this extraordinary half-century:
- The instability of nation-states caused by ethnic conflicts, poverty, and the rise of dictators
- The changes in global balance of power from Cold War to U.S. hegemony
- The economic fortunes of capitalism and communism
Brower argues that powerful forces of nationalism and social revolution, propelled by the turmoil following the end of the Second World War, quickly destroyed all colonial empires. He stresses the efforts at nation-building that followed these events and points to the widespread emergence of ethnic conflicts within and between these new states.
In each chapter thematic and biographical sections focus attention on themost important features of this history. Updated to incorporate recent events, the book discusses the efforts in the 1990s of international organizations and major states to implement new policies for peace and global security, and explains the factors behind the upsurge of local wars and terrorism, culminating in the 2001 Al Oaeda attack on the U.S. and the Afghan and Iraq wars.

This patent disclosure relates generally to photogrammetric targets for use in optical evaluation of surface contours and, more particularly, to photogrammetric target assemblies incorporating pairs of target structures disposed in spaced relation and adapted for placement on contoured surfaces to conduct measurement of those surfaces.
It is generally known to use light reflective targets in photogrammetric measurement of surfaces. According to this practice, the light reflective targets are positioned in a defined pattern on a surface to be measured and the positional relationship of the targets is measured and/or verified. Specifically, in a typical system, a measurement technician mounts multiple reflective targets on the surface to be measured and one or more cameras are then used to image the targets on a two-dimensional medium such as a film or a digital image sensor. A process of triangulation is then used to determine the relative three-dimensional positions of the targets. This permits development of a three dimensional image of the targeted surface. In the field of process control, such imaging may be used to compare the plotted positions of the targets on a formed part against a pre-established map of the specified formed part contours. This comparison is used to determine whether the formed part complies with given specification tolerances. One deficiency in such measurement systems is their dependence on manual placement of individual targets. In particular, in the event that the imaging technician fails to place targets properly the measurement will be in error.
Reflective targets for use in photogrammetric imaging are disclosed, for example, in U.S. Pat. No. 5,073,005 to Hubbs, having a filing date of May 2, 1988, and an issue date of Dec. 17, 1991. As best understood, this reference discloses target assemblies having a body with a mounted support surface adapted to hold a retro-reflective target. In one disclosed embodiment, the target body is elongated and provides a pair of target support surfaces at opposing ends. These target assemblies may be mounted on tooling or other surfaces for photogrammetric imaging evaluation. When using existing target assemblies, good results have been difficult to achieve due to difficulties in precisely aligning individual targets. Achieving good results may be particularly difficult when measuring surfaces such as boreholes and shaft surfaces.
In accordance with one aspect, the present disclosure provides a photogrammetric target assembly. The target assembly includes a first photogrammetric target disposed at a terminal show surface of a first support pillar. The target assembly further includes a second photogrammetric target disposed at a terminal show surface of a second support pillar. The first support pillar and the second support pillar are operatively connected such that the first photogrammetric target is in predefined lateral spaced relation to the second photogrammetric target.
In accordance with another aspect, the present disclosure provides a method for measuring the contour of a curvilinear surface. The method includes providing a structure having a curvilinear surface and affixing a multi-target photogrammetric target assembly to the curvilinear surface. The photogrammetric target assembly includes a first photogrammetric target disposed at a terminal show surface of a first support pillar. The photogrammetric target assembly further includes a second photogrammetric target disposed at a terminal show surface of a second support pillar. The first support pillar and the second support pillar are operatively connected such that the first photogrammetric target is in predefined lateral spaced relation to the second photogrammetric target. The position of the first photogrammetric target and the second photogrammetric target are measured relative to one another.
As will be described further hereinafter, an improved photogrammetric target assembly is provided. The improved assembly includes a pair of reflective photogrammetric targets disposed at terminal show surfaces of operatively connected and laterally spaced supports. The improved assembly is adapted for measurement of curvilinear surfaces.
Reference will now be made to the drawings, wherein to the extent possible, like elements are designated by like reference numerals throughout the various views.
It is to be understood and appreciated that the illustrated structural element 10 is exemplary only and is provided to generally illustrate structures of three-dimensional curved surface geometry as may be measured by target assemblies and measurement techniques consistent with the present disclosure as described more fully below. Accordingly, while open cylindrical structures such as the structural element 10 illustrated in
According to one contemplated practice, the first attachment element 30 and the second attachment element 32 may be in the form of magnets to provide a releasable attachment connection with a structural element 10 of ferrous or other material characterized by magnetic attraction. However, it is also contemplated that other attachment systems such as adhesive systems and the like may be utilized if desired. It is also contemplated that combinations of different attachment systems may be utilized if desired. Moreover, while first support pillar 26 and second support pillar 28 are illustrated as having single attachment elements, it is likewise contemplated that multiple attachment elements may be utilized if desired.
According to the illustrated exemplary construction, first support pillar 26 and second support pillar 28 incorporate bodies of substantially circular cross-sectional geometry adjoined by a connector 34 such as a molded-in bridge or the like disposed at one or more positions along their lengths. In this regard, although first support pillar 26 and second support pillar 28 are each illustrated as having a generally circular cross-section, it is likewise contemplated that other cross-sectional geometries may also be utilized if desired. The support pillars 26, 28 and connector 34 may be formed of similar or dissimilar materials. By way of example only, and not limitation, each of the support pillars 26, 28 and connector 34 may be formed from moldable plastic. However, metals and other materials of construction may likewise be utilized if desired.
Regardless of the cross-sectional geometry of the support pillars, it is contemplated that bodies of the support pillars may be characterized by curved outer surfaces such that first support pillar 26 presents a first lobed surface 40 of convex curved profile and second support pillar 28 presents a second lobed surface 42 of convex curved profile. As best illustrated through simultaneous reference to
As noted previously, target assembly 20 may be used as part of a photogrammetric system to evaluate the configuration of curved surfaces in formed parts. In this regard, target assembly 20 is adapted for use in the evaluation of surface structures of convex or concave configuration. By way of example only, and not limitation,
Regardless of the nature of the structure being evaluated, target assemblies 20 may be arranged to present an array of reflective targets 22, 24 detectable by an imaging device 50 such as a camera adapted to record the relative positions of the targets 22, 24. The use of three or more targets may be utilized to define a reference plane. The use of substantial numbers of targets may be utilized in some instances to define complex surfaces. According to one exemplary process, imaging device 50 is used to image the targets on a two-dimensional medium such as a film or a digital image sensor. A process of triangulation is then used to determine the relative three-dimensional positions of the targets. The plotted positions of the targets on the formed parts may then be compared against a pre-established map of the specified formed part contours. A target having a position which is inconsistent with pre-established specifications indicates the presence of an irregularity at that target position.
The double pillar structure of target assembly 20 may facilitate placement of target assembly 20 across a surface to be evaluated in a manner which promotes self aligning relative to the curve being measured, In particular, the operatively connected, laterally-spaced support pillars may provide a pair of reflective targets 22, 24 in established spaced-apart relation thereby reducing variability in the measurement process. Moreover, the double lobed face 44 also allows the target assembly 20 to establish and maintain contact with curved surfaces.
A number of different physical constructions may characterize target assemblies consistent with this disclosure. By way of example only, and not limitation,
According to the exemplary construction illustrated in
By way of example only, and not limitation,
In accordance with another exemplary construction consistent with this disclosure, a target assembly of substantially unitary construction may be provided. By way of example only, and not limitation,
In practice, the use of constructions having substantial spans between support pillars as illustrated in
The industrial applicability of the photogrammetric target assembly described herein will be readily appreciated from the foregoing discussion. The present disclosure is applicable to target assemblies adapted for use in photogrammetric evaluation of surfaces to determine and/or confirm surface contour characteristics.
In practice, a target assembly incorporating a pair of reflective targets disposed at terminal show surfaces of operatively connected and laterally-spaced support pillars is attached to a portion of a curved evaluation surface. The spaced support pillars may define a double lobed face structure to maintain contact with the curved evaluation surface. An imaging device is utilized to measure the positions of the reflective targets. The target assembly and associated measurement practices may be used in the evaluation of substantially convex curved surfaces such as the outer wall of a shaft or the like. The target assembly and associated measurement practices may also be used in the valuation of substantially concave curved surfaces such as the boundary wall of a borehole or the like. Multiple target assemblies may be used concurrently across the inner wall and outer wall of annular structures such as pipes and hollow shafts to evaluate conformance with sizing specifications.
It will be appreciated that the foregoing description provides examples of the disclosed system and technique. However, it is contemplated that other implementations of the disclosure may differ in detail from the foregoing examples. All references to examples herein are intended to reference the particular example being discussed at that point and are not intended to imply any limitation as to the scope of the disclosure or claims more generally. All language of distinction and disparagement with respect to certain features is intended to indicate a lack of preference for those features, but not to exclude such from the scope of the claims entirely unless otherwise indicated.
Recitation of ranges of values herein are merely intended to serve as a shorthand method of referring individually to each separate value falling within the range, unless otherwise indicated herein, and each separate value is incorporated into the specification as if it were individually recited herein. All methods described herein can be performed in any suitable order unless otherwise indicated herein or otherwise clearly contradicted by context.
Accordingly, this disclosure contemplates the inclusion of all modifications and equivalents of the subject matter recited in the appended claims as permitted by applicable law. Moreover, any combination of the above-described elements in all possible variations thereof is contemplated unless otherwise indicated herein or otherwise clearly contradicted by context.

HEBRON ESTATES - The city of Hebron Estates has partnered with nearby Pioneer Village in recent years, most notable on an agreement for law enforcement patrol.
The city is partnering again as a result of changing state regulations involving street signs.
Cities now have until 2018 to come into compliance with new road sign regulations involving issues such as sign color, lettering size, height, and break-away polls.
Since all cities will fall under the regulations, Hebron Estates will work with Pioneer VIllage and mayor Gary Hatcher on understanding all legalities.
The Hebron Estates city council agreed to reimburse Hatcher, who will be attending a conference in Lexington pertaining to the new regulations.
Hatcher will return and share what he learns with both Pioneer Village and Hebron Estates city councils. Hebron Estates will reimburse Hatcher $85 for the effort.
In other business:
- Auditor Art Henson reviewed the city's finances during the meeting.
According to Henson, the city increased in cash availability as much as $103,000 over a two-year period.
Expenditures were down about $25,000, but Henson reiterated that not a lot of roadwork took place in that time period. He reminded that the city had some paving work completed in the fall.
He added that city income was down slightly but that insurance tax revenue increased further.
"I think everything went well," Henson said.
- Pioneer Village Police chief D.J. Reynolds reported to the council that a Scenic Trail residence experience a BB gun shooting at its front window.
Reynolds believed the situation to be an isolated incident. However, he advised residents to remain alert and contact PVPD with any further information.
- The next Hebron Estates City Council meeting takes place Tuesday, Jan. 7, 7 p.m., at the city community center on Burkland Boulevard. The public is invited to attend.

Hi. After upgrading De BB app world it suddenly starts to give me this error message every time I try to download any app from app world "__________________is not available for download from app world".
this opens after the BB id login.
I've reset my BB and is the Same, can anyone help please?
(sorry my bad English)
With more detail:
am unable to get ANY apps to download.
My phone is a Blackberry Curve 8520
My OS was upgraded about 1 week ago, but BlackBerry App World was not installed until today.
When I first tried to download an app, I was prompted for my Blackberry Login and Password. I clicked on the link to create an account, and did so successfully.
So far, I have ONLY tried to download Apps that are marked as "FREE" and so far, every single App that I've tried to download is reporting "__APP NAME__" is not available for download from BlackBerry App World."
This happens with EVERY SINGLE APP that I've attempted to download.
Does anybody know what would cause this problem? Any suggestions?
I'm having the same issue. At first I was getting the error that I needed to check my network connections to even get into App World. I deleted App World and downloaded it again, set-up a new BB Login ID. When I tried to download a few different apps, it states they are not avail. for DL from BB App World. I never had any issues w/ App World until this new update...I don't understand.
Same issue here. Very frustrating.
I suggest that you clear the AppWorld application cache:
1. Open App World
2. Go to My World
3a. For keyboard-based BB's -- Hold down the ALT key and then press, in sequence R, then S, then T
3b. For Storm/Pearl -- Hold the num-lock (!?123) button so it locks and then press, in sequence 3, then 4, then (
4. If your BB locks after issuing the cache clear, perform a battery pull reboot
5. Return to AppWorld. Log into MyWorld (if applicable) and try again.
Hopefully it'll work for you! Good luck and let us know!
Even with that, I'm still getting "... is not available for download from app world" all the time.
After a very long session with Tech Support staff from both Bell Mobility and RIM, I was able to resolve the problem that I was experiencing.
I originally set up my Blackberry ID using my mobile device (Bold 9000). Apparently, the setup was not completed and saved correctly and that was the root cause of all of the problems. When I logged into Blackberry ID from my laptop, I was able to complete the three step setup process. This involved downloading a plug-in from the Blackberry website, connecting the phone to the laptop and then completing the setup (including entering Paypal information, if desired) on the laptop.
After I completed this process, I was able to log into the Blackberry ID on my mobile without having to go through the Blackberry App World Membership Addendum, and all of my downloads worked without error.
IMPORTANT: The completion of the Blackberry ID registration process must be completed using Internet Explorer. I had actually tried to do this a few days ago, but I was using Google Chrome. As a result, the required App World Plug In did not download properly to my laptop and I couldn't complete the rest of the setup process.
I hope that this helps the other people who have been experiencing this problem.

Although these ideas are different, they play off of one another.

Paclitaxel and a semi-synthetic analogue docetaxel (Scheme) are two taxane anti-tumor agents that are used against a number of cancers.[1] The taxanes bind to the β-subunit of the dimeric protein α,β-tubulin in microtubules in a 1:1 molar ratio, resulting in a decrease in the dynamic nature of microtubules leading to mitotic arrest and apoptotic cell death.[2] The taxanes also promote the assembly of tubulin into microtubules.[3] Docetaxel is two to three times as effective as paclitaxel in promoting the assembly of mammalian brain tubulin in vitro and has a binding constant that is greater than that of paclitaxel by the same factor.[4] We have been using site-directed mutagenesis of Saccharomyces cerevisiae β-tubulin to examine the taxane binding site in tubulin. Although wild-type S. cerevisiae tubulin does not bind taxanes, we were able to instill taxane binding by making five mutations in β-tubulin.[5] The rationale for choosing the five sites to mutate was based on the electron crystal structure of the mammalian brain tubulin-paclitaxel complex.[6] This structure indicated that the amino acid side chains, K19, V23, D26, H227 and F270, are important in taxane binding. In S. cerevisiae β-tubulin these sites are occupied by different amino acids, A19, T23, G26, N227, and Y270. When we exchanged the five residues for those that occur in brain β-tubulin, yeast tubulin was able to bind paclitaxel.[5] We are currently in the process of determining the relative importance of each residue to taxane binding by systematically reversing our original mutations. As a screen to measure the effects of the changes, we are using a cell-based assay in which we examine effects of the mutations on cell proliferation. To be able to use a cell-based assay we introduced the mutated β-tubulin gene into a yeast strain that has diminished multidrug transport activity[7] to produce a strain that is sensitive to paclitaxel (AD1-8-tax).[8] In the course of these studies we found interesting differences in the sensitivity of the various strains to paclitaxel and docetaxel.
The effect of the two taxanes on the growth of the strains is presented in Table 1. The letters B and Y refer to the five residues found in brain and S. cerevisiae tubulin, respectively. The data show that 25 µM of either taxane completely inhibited growth of the strain with brain β-tubulin residues at the five positions (BBBBB), but had no effect on the strain with yeast residues (YYYYY). When positions 23, 26, and 270 were changed back to the residues in yeast β-tubulin, the strains (BYBBB, BBYBB, BBBBY) were insensitive to both taxanes, indicating the importance of these residues to taxane binding. However, substituting a yeast residue at position 19 (YBBBB) or 227 (BBBYB) did not affect the sensitivity to paclitaxel, i.e., the paclitaxel ID50 values were essentially unchanged. On the other hand, the sensitivity of these two strains to docetaxel decreased. The K19A and H227N mutations caused the ID50 for docetaxel to increase approximately 5 to 6-fold.
To further examine the effect of the H227N mutation, tubulin was purified from this strain (BBBYB) as well as from AD1-8-tax (BBBBB) and used in in vitro assembly and binding experiments. Data presented in Fig. 1 demonstrate that assembly was dependent on the taxanes and that, in the case of tubulin from strain BBBBB (Fig. 1A), the EC50 values for paclitaxel and docetaxel were 1.1 µM and 0.36 µM, respectively. However, with tubulin from the H227N (BBBYB) strain, the values were 2.2 µM for paclitaxel and 3.0 µM for docetaxel (Fig. 1B). Thus, the H227N mutation increased the ED50 for docetaxel 8.3-fold but had a much less effect on the ED50 of paclitaxel (2-fold increase). The formation of microtubules in these experiments was verified by electron microscopy (data not shown). The effect of the H227N mutation on the tubulin-docetaxel interaction was also seen in a competition-binding assay. Preformed microtubules were incubated with 5 µM 3H-paclitaxel and a varying concentration of docetaxel. The data in Fig. 2 show that the H227N mutation decreased the interaction of docetaxel with yeast tubulin by a factor of 3 to 4, i.e., a 3 to 4 higher concentration of docetaxel was required to decrease paclitaxel binding by 50%.
To help explain the consequences of having Asn instead of His at residue 227 on paclitaxel and docetaxel activity, we modeled the T-taxol conformation of bound paclitaxel[6] into the binding sites of the two proteins. The T-taxol conformation appears to be the most widely accepted conformation for tubulin-bound paclitaxel[11–14]. We assumed that the basic conformers for paclitaxel and docetaxel would be largely conserved relative to the T-taxol structure reported in the 1JFF crystal structure for both proteins, and thus constructed preliminary models for each of the four relevant complexes; paclitaxel-BBBBB, docetaxel-BBBBB, paclitaxel-BBBYB, and docetaxel-BBBYB, by simply editing the original crystal structure accordingly and effecting local receptor relaxation in the vicinity of the ligand.
From these computations, we derived a purely enthalpic estimate that docetaxel bound more strongly than paclitaxel to the BBBBB tubulin by 0.43 kcal/mol and that paclitaxel bound more strongly than docetaxel to the BBBYB tubulin by 1.94 kcal/mol. The main source of the enthalpy difference in the BBBBB case is van der Waals interactions, which are derived from stronger interactions between the bulkier docetaxel t-butyl group at the 3′-N position with H227 and V23 than are achieved by the longer, thinner phenyl at this position on paclitaxel. In the case of the BBBYB tubulin, our calculations suggest that docetaxel may lose a significant portion of its van der Waals advantage relative to paclitaxel by virtue of the His to Asn mutation (Asn is a poorer lipophile). Paclitaxel, however, might gain a binding advantage to BBBYB tubulin by virtue of stronger H-bonding between its benzamide carbonyl and the side chain N227 NH donor site (2.22 Å) than is possible for the carbamate carbonyl of docetaxel (2.48 Å) (Fig. 3). The combined effects of the decreased van der Waals interaction of docetaxel and the increased H-bonding of paclitaxel to BBBYB tubulin might thus result in stronger binding by paclitaxel.
In comparing the predicted binding conformers for paclitaxel and docetaxel with BBBBB and YBBBB our calculations suggest that the hydrogen atoms on the Cδ of the K19 side chain approach within 4.0 Å of the t-butyl group of docetaxel (a favorable distance from the perspective of van der Waals interactions) but that no K19 atom comes within 6.1 Å of any atom on the corresponding paclitaxel benzamide ring. Mutation of the lysine to a smaller alanine might thus remove a favorable lipophilic contact from docetaxel, but suggests very minimal effect on paclitaxel binding.
In summary, we have shown that the relative effects of paclitaxel and docetaxel on tubulin can be affected differently by mutations in β-tubulin. The yeast tubulin mutagenesis approach that we have developed is a useful tool in the development of new taxane and other microtubule anti-mitotic agents.
Mutations were introduced into the single β-tubulin gene (TUB2) of the S. cerevisiae strain AD 12345678 (AD1-8)[7] using procedures described previously.[8] Thus, wild-type β-tubulin is not produced in the mutant strains. β-Tubulin in these strains also carries a His6 tag at the C-terminus. His6-tagged tubulin was purified using a previously developed immobilized metal chelating chromatography procedure.[5]
The cell proliferation assays were conducted in triplicate in 96-well plates containing 2,000 cells/well in YPD-media (2% glucose, 1% yeast extract, and 2% peptone) supplemented with pen/strep (100 U/mL penicillin and 100 µg/mL streptomycin) and varying concentrations of paclitaxel or docetaxel. After incubation at 30 °C for 24–27 h in a humidified chamber, the optical densities were determined at 620 nm using a plate reader.
Freshly cycled tubulin (250 pmol) in 30 mM PEM (30 mM PIPES, 1 mM EGTA, 1 mM MgSO4, 0.5 mM GTP, pH 6.9) was assembled in a 50 µL volume in the presence of varying concentrations of each taxane for 30 min at 30 °C. Microtubules were collected by sedimentation at 100,000 × g for 5 min in a Beckman TL-100 ultracentrifuge. The Bradford assay[10] was used to determine the protein concentration in the supernatant and in the pellet suspended in 0.1 M NaOH. Data were fitted with the sigmoidal dose response non-linear curve fitting equation found in Prism 4.03 (Graphpad Software Inc., La Jolla, CA).
Freshly cycled tubulin was assembled (250 pmol) in 100 mM PEM (100 mM PIPES, 1 mM EGTA, 1 mM MgSO4, 0.5 mM GTP, pH 6.9) in a 50 µL volume at 30 °C for 30 min. The preformed microtubules were then incubated in the presence of a mixture of 5 µM 3H-paclitaxel (420 µCi/µmol) and a varying concentration of unlabelled docetaxel. After 30 min, microtubules were collected by centrifugation and suspended in 0.1 M NaOH. Protein was determined by the Bradford assay[10] and 3H-paclitaxel by scintillation counting. In the absence of docetaxel, incorporation of 3H-paclitaxel was 0.65 mol/mol tubulin.
All of the simulations were performed in SYBYL with the Tripos force field[15] and Gasteiger-Marsili electrostatics[16] within a non-bonding threshold of 8.0 Å. Initial structures for the ligand-tubulin complexes were constructed from the tubulin crystal structure (PDB ID 1JFF).[17] Docetaxel complexes were created by hand-editing the native paclitaxel structure. Models for mutants were created by in silico mutation within SYBYL Biopolymer toolkit. All other energetic and convergence parameters were left at default values. Interaction enthalpies were determined as the difference between the energy of the complex and the sum of the energies of the isolated ligand and receptor. To allow for relaxation effects specific to each complex, the ligand plus all residues within 8.0 Å of the ligand were permitted to relax for 100 molecular mechanics steps, with the remainder of the tubulin structure held fixed. The position of each ligand was further optimized by allowing it to relax to molecular mechanics convergence with the entire receptor held fixed.

I'm over the hill. At least that's what an envelope stuffer in Washington D.C. must think. How do I know this? Because I recently received a membership application for the AARP-the American Association of Retired Persons. I have to admit: at first I was excited about the insulated travel bag, perfect for trips to the aquarium with your grandkids, that comes as a free gift when you complete the membership form. There was also some talk of saving money on groceries (yes, please), travel discounts (you bet!), age discrimination protection (huh?) and Medicare benefits (again…huh?) Of course, I wasn't wearing my prescription wrap-around reading glasses, and must have missed the fine print at the bottom. What's the fine print, you ask? YOU HAVE TO BE FIFTY YEARS OLD. Was I just shouting? Sorry. I'm feeling a little…cranky. It's not every day that wild promises of discounted meals at The Sizzler (4:30 – 5:15 PM only), and bags, are waved in your face, only to be cruelly snatched away by fine print. Although I suppose the irony of the situation is almost as delicious as the twelve dollar steak that comes pre-cut when you show your AARP Membership Card at participating restaurants. Despite all the mention of age discrimination, I can't even qualify for the fabulous spoils that come with non-profit retirement interest group membership for another twenty-four years. How do you like them apples? Perhaps I should write a strongly worded letter to the ACLU, explaining that I have been denied my basic right to a cheap steak and a Free Gift because of my age. Then again, I did receive an AARP enrollment card with an activation code. Maybe if I flash it at the waiter like a detective's badge they won't be able to tell the difference.
13 thoughts on "The Age of Retirement"
I can't wait to be old and get an AARP hat like my father. Printed on the front is "Senior Citizen Discount". That gets rid of all the card-checking nonsense. I don't go anywhere in public with him but I might consider meeting him at a Sizzler.
The insulated travel bag is for insulin.
Actually, getting those mailers is even worse when you DO qualify. Trust me.
But the absolute worst part is when they send you magazines with cover pictures of folks you were madly in love with when you were an embryo. Robert Redford. Paul McCartney (he's now WAY over 64, sniff, sniff).
Getting old sucks.
I hear ya.
By the way, I'll take your insulated travel bag if you don't want it.
No. You are too young to have an insulated travel bag like mine. I earned it. I am entitled to it. I have been PAYING for this insulated travel bag since I first started working ….
Scumbag AARP: Promise you protection from ageist discrimination, won't give you a cheap steak because of your age.

Reading your audience
Reading your audience
Every speaker needs to continually pull the audience to sample their mood, patience, and understanding of your topic, basically to take their temperature. You can do this in a few different ways. Look for visual clues, ask the audience, or bring a friend. I will cover those methods and then I will suggest what you can do to improve the presentation. Let's talk about the first method, looking for visual clues. As you deliver, scan the audience to observe how they're reacting to your message. Their subtle clues can help you out.
Now here are some definite signs that things might not be working out too well: whispering, excessive Use of mobile devices, doodling on the handouts--you'll have to walk around the audience to notice this--glossy-eyed stares and confused looks, giggling, or eye rolling, or anything else that shows distraction. As you can see, it's not just about noticing if people are bored or confused. Your audience might be distracted by something you said or any...
