Biomolecular modeling and simulation lies at the heart of physically inspired methods for understanding molecular biology and structural biochemistry. Empirical force fields have been approaching a generational transition over the past several years, moving away from well- established, well-tuned but intrinsically limited fixed point charge models towards more intricate and accurate polarizable potentials. This research proposes to extend the polarizable AMOEBA (Atomic Multipole Optimized Energetics for Biomolecular Applications) force field to nucleic acid systems. Together with the current AMOEBA protein parameterization, this will provide a consistently derived model for the two major biopolymer classes. The required electrostatic parameter for nucleic acids will be derived from high-level quantum mechanical electronic structure calculations. In order to use AMOEBA for DNA and RNA systems, several new energy functions will be needed to treat currently neglected effects, such as charge transfer, penetration of electron densities, and damping of dispersion at short distance ranges. The resulting next-generation of the AMOEBA force field promises to significantly improve the accuracy of short-range interactions over other currently available force fields. Nucleic acids, and their interaction with ions, small molecules and proteins, underlie much of human biochemistry, physiology and genetics. This research will calibrate the AMOEBA nucleic acid potentials on a series of structural motifs, against drug-RNA binding data, and with respect to interactions with ions. The validated force field will then open future opportunities for modeling of transcription factor interactions with DNA, detailed binding calculations for aminoglycoside antibiotics with the ribosome, and similar problems not approachable at present with polarizable force fields.
Computer-aided molecular modeling, in concert with advances in structural biology, holds promise for the future development of new therapeutic agents. The ability to design molecules to inhibit or enhance nucleic acid function, disrupt nucleic acid/protein interfaces, etc. arises from accurate modeling of the structure, energetics and dynamics of the biological components. The increased accuracy of the AMOEBA force field model for DNA and RNA should help facilitate drug design for important systems, such a ribosomal antibiotics.

Does Brown Algae cycle out?
I had BGA before when I had my lights turned on for 12 hours, reduced it to 10, and it seems to have stopped, but had brown algae.
So, I was just curious if brown algae cycles out just like green algae. Anyways, it's not that bad. I'm just curious.
Hi Dahcmed.:wave:
Brown algae has nothing to do with cycling. It happens mostly in new tank setups or when your tank has insufficient lighting.
Blue :)
leave lights off for a few days it will die off.

Artist: Mugison
Album: Mugimama, Is This Monkey Music?
Label: Ipecac Recordings
Release Date: Oct. 4, 2005
Web: www.mugison.com
Videos: www.mugison.com/Mugison/Cinema/Videos/
Rating: 4.1 out of 5 stars
If you thought Bjork and Sigur Rós were the best things to come out of Iceland you probably haven't heard Mugison (pronounced Moogie-son).
Mugison combines beautiful acoustic songwriting ala Sufjan Stevens with super-creative cut and paste artistry a la Beck. The record is a high-quality "bedroom" recording. Meaning it sounds great, but has that airy, lo-fi tinge that makes it immediately likeable to those who despise the slick, over-produced sounds that are now creeping into "Indie" music. Mugimama is immediate, real and heartfelt. The only downside is the album's inconsistency, the changes in energy and style between tracks can be jarring at times and effectively eliminates the album from fitting a mood. For example, the beautiful piano-based ballad, "What I Would Say In Your Funeral", which features the angelic voice of Mugison's girlfriend sits right in front of the funked-out sample festival "Sad As A Truck". Although both tracks have merit separately, when you listen to them back-to-back in the context of an album, it breaks the mood like fingernails on a blackboard. Maybe that's what the artist intended, but cohesiveness could have put this album close to 5 stars in my opinion.
If you visit Mugison's Web site you'll find entries like:
This is typical of his down-to-earth, instantly likeable personality, which also shines through in his music. You can't help but be sucked in by his emotionally honest lyrics and creative use of a myriad of instruments and samples.
I am partial to his acoustic numbers, which are all gems to be kept for a lifetime, including: "Murr, Murr", "What I Would Say in Your Funeral", "I'd Ask" and "Hold On 2 Happiness".
"Salt" contains acoustic guitar and orchestral instrumentation. The cellos, violins and woodwinds create a moving and melancholy piece that features the accented speaking voice of his sister reciting a poem about a child being drowned by her mother in the sea. It turns out that she is the reason for the salt in our tears. A haunting and beautiful track.
Also included are a couple "better left on the hard drive" tracks, like the silly "Swing Ding", which features an adolescent burping voice saying Rock & Roll over and over. It's an attempt at a comedy break, which is at best, annoying.
Even with the breaks in style and the small amount of "filler", Mugimama, Is This Monkey Music? left me elated and wanting more, a truly excellent effort from an artist who was not even on my radar screen. Well, he appears on my radar now. In fact, he's one of the biggest blips presently visible.Powered by Sidelines

Hi everyone
We got mailers thanks to Kate A. I have about 50 cds made which I will
send out in the next few days. I am also going to mail about 15 a day
out after that as fast as I make them. Barbara J is going to work on
making another 40 or so and I am going to make the rest. Ran and Jim
Anderson were going to help and would have been needed but I worked on
it while waiting for the mailers so it is not that big of a deal
anymore. Anyway they are on their way, maybe not all in one day but

Breathing slowly through the inhaler,
how frustrated could I be?
That I need to breathe singly,
instead breathing with Thee?
Which part they made of me,
when in terror and not free.
Locked in abusive emotions,
the inner Self breaks free.
None chart ever given,
how should I deal with me?
When my hatred breaks free,
none dare to listen or see.
Close your eyes and ears within,
or be corrupted with my sin.
For where I dwell and be,
I make others unto me.

We are excited to announce that starting in the 2016-2017 academic year, students can apply for up to $500 in travel funds (raised from $300 in previous years). Conference travel funding can cover any aspect of travel, including but not limited to, plane/train tickets, fuel, accommodations, membership dues, registration fees, photocopying, etc. We are excited to offer more academic opportunities for graduate student travel and hope many of our members will apply. Applicants must be presenting at a conference and have proof of their acceptance to the conference. You may apply for conferences that happened (or are happening) in the Summer and Fall of 2016 to the Spring of 2017.
Applicants must complete the application form by Tuesday, November 15, 2016. (link to application).
You can refer to two successful application examples below (in PDF format):

Gender and asset ownership : a guide to collecting individual-level data
Ownership and control over assets such as land and housing provide direct and indirect benefits to individuals and households, including a secure place to live, the means of a livelihood, protection during emergencies, and collateral for credit that can be used for investment or consumption. Unfortunately, few studies - either at the micro or macro levels- examine the gender dimensions of asset ownership. This paper sets out a framework for researchers who are interested in collecting data on individual level asset ownership and analyzing the gender asset gap. It reviews best practices in existing surveys with respect to data collection on assets at both the household and individual levels, and shows how various questions on individually owned assets can be incorporated with a minimum of effort and cost into existing multi-topic household surveys, using examples of three Living Standard Measurement Study surveys: the 1998-99 Ghana survey, the 2000 Guatemala survey, and the 1997-98 Vietnam survey questionnaires. The analysis shows that it is feasible to add a minimal set of questions to enable calculation of the gender asset gap. Adding a series of extra questions will permit a more satisfactory and nuanced analysis of asset acquisition, use, disposition, and valuation - information that is critical for policies promoting gender equality, poverty reduction, and economic growth.

Janeen Poulson, DLA Troop Support
When the call to provide humanitarian assistance in Iraq came, Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support's subsistence supply chain responded quickly, the supply chain's director of customer operations said.
"To date, we have purchased 7,000 cases of Halal meals and 19,000 cases of bottled water in support of the mission," Rich Faso said. "And we have done so in an expedited fashion."
The meals and water were a part of the U.S. military's fourth airdrop, which took place Aug. 10, to provide relief to Iraqi citizens.
According to a U.S. Central Command release, as of Aug. 12, U.S. military aircraft had delivered more than 74,000 meals and more than 15,000 gallons of fresh drinking water to citizens in northern Iraq.
Faso said DLA Troop Support will continue to keep abreast of what is needed so that all requirements can be filled.

The Frown Of A Clown
There is such sadness
in the frown of a clown,
a painted on smile
still a frown up-side down.
Tear stained cheeks
a trail of his pain,
alone on the streets
rejected again.
He wears a mask
but beneath a child's broken,
he is silently crying
his sorrow unspoken.
The frown of a clown
a heart that is shattered,
still he longs to bring laughter
though he's been sadly battered.
He strives on the streets
living lies to bring joy,
but there is no happiness
for this little boy.

But current tabletop-size DNA sequencing machines aren't readily portable. Researchers at the University of Otago in New Zealand have a solution in a brick-sized DNA sequencer that connects wirelessly to a smartphone or laptop. Advertisement The device, called Freedom4, brings the quantitative PCR method of DNA sequencing to the field. The brick-sized machine has a six-hour battery life and can process DNA samples in one step, identifying the presence and extent of, say, a norovirus infection in under an hour. This capability is monumental for doctors, veterinarians, and public health officials working to quickly identify viral infections in the field. In testing, Freedom4 performed as well as full-size laboratory DNA sequencing machines in identifying and quantifying samples infected with E. coli and respiratory viruses including the H1N1 strain of swine flu that caused a global pandemic in 2009. Freedom4 shown in red, with the research team that invented it. Photo by Sharron Bennett Advertisement As Popular Mechanics points out, this capability could help diagnose diseases and guide treatment on-the-spot, whether in hospitals or in remote areas of the globe. It could also help anyone needing to identify specific microbes, from farmers to beer brewers. Now that the six-year project has been proven to function, the next step is commercializing the lab-in-your-hand. It's a great time to be a DNA nerd.

From Yaya Toure to Karim Benzema, footballers balance Ramadan and World Cup
This Saturday will mark the start of the World Cup knockout stages. It will also, for millions of Muslims around the world, mark their final unrestricted day before the start of the holy month of Ramadan, in which abstinence from food and liquids during daylight hours is mandatory.
With six of the 32 national teams competing in Brazil coming from countries with a substantial Islamic presence – and three being drawn together in Group F – it is inevitable that teams with Muslim players will be involved in the tournament's latter stages.
It is the first time for 28 years that Ramadan has overlapped with a World Cup. Bosnia-Herzegovina, Algeria, Cameroon, Iran, Ivory Coast and Nigeria all have large Muslim populations, while the likes of France, Switzerland and Germany also have players of Islamic faith.
Players such as Edin Dzeko, Mesut Ozil, Yaya Toure and Karim Benzema will have to decide whether to fast during daylight hours or postpone until their country's tournament is over. In Brazil, such are the hours of daylight, fasting would equate to about 13-and-a-half hours without food or liquids.
Toure told The National he would not consider it. "Fasting? Have you seen the weather? I would die,†he said.
Other players and teams are less willing to address the issue – and for good reason.
In 2010, Iran's Ali Karimi, a former Asian Player of the Year, was fired by his Tehran-based club for failing to fast and, when confronted on the issue, allegedly insulted officials of Iran's football association.
Carlos Queiroz, the Iran coach, said the prospect of his side playing high-intensity football during the coming Holy Month is nothing new to his players and that he and his technical team are not overly concerned about the potential challenge that awaits.
"The Iranian Muslim players have a lot of experience to deal with their religious obligations and sport,†Queiroz said. "During qualifying, we sometimes faced the same cultural issue, so there is a long history and that has helped produce knowledge. Today, playing at this level, it is not an issue.â€
Sabri Lamouchi, Ivory Coast's French coach, likewise said he had few worries about the ability of his players to cope sufficiently with the demands of their religion. "The fact Ramadan is getting close, yes, we have some Muslim players in the squad, but they will be able to deal with the situation when it comes,†he said. "For now, we just focus on the next match.â€
Should players decide to respect their obligations during the Holy Month, health issues that fitness coaches will be required to address will include "dehydration [and] an increased risk of nutritional and energy deficiency†according to a medical research paper published last year by Aspetar, the Qatar Orthopaedic and Sports Medicine Hospital.
"A common occurrence is for athletes to drink large quantities of water, which is an ineffective way to improve hydration,†it said. "Consuming large volumes of water at once will induce urine loss and if done before bedtime will cause interrupted sleep.â€
The side effects of fasting during Ramadan has, in the past, resulted in coaches opting to rely more heavily on other non-Muslim players.
In 2009, Inter Milan coach Jose Mourinho substituted Ghanaian Sulley Muntari after only half an hour of his side's 1-1 draw with Bari. The Portuguese manager said the Holy Month had "not arrived at the ideal moment for a player to play a football matchâ€.
The same year, a second-division German club delivered official warnings to three Muslim players for failing to inform their coach about their decision to fast.
The Aspetar medical research paper noted: "Any decision that goes against the team's will can increase mental pressure and decrease team morale. These examples not only highlight the various opinions among athletes and coaches, but also highlight the influence that the surrounding environment may have on whether or not an athlete decides to fast.â€
The last time Ramadan fell during a World Cup was in Mexico 1986, when three teams with Islamic traditions competed: Iraq, Algeria and Morocco. Four years earlier, at the World Cup in Spain, Ramadan also overlapped as Algeria and debutants Kuwait took part.
Carlos Alberto Parreira was the Kuwait coach in 1982. "The players' religion says they were allowed to eat, but they did not want to,†Parreira said. "They could have delayed their fasting until after the tournament, but they preferred to fast. It was not normal daily procedure for the game, but you have to accept that it is part of their religion and culture. You cannot change that.â€
Before Ramadan began, Parreira's side drew 1-1 with Czechoslovakia and lost 4-1 to eventual semi-finalists France. In their final group match against England, under fasting conditions, they narrowly lost 1-0.
"They did not eat for the game against England because it was the third or fourth day of Ramadan,†Parreira said. "It affected their performance a little bit, of course. If you eat, you are healthy and hydrated; if you do not, then you cannot expect to play football at peak condition. It was not ideal, but the players made their decisions individually and we did not question that.â€
When Ramadan begins on Sunday, the Muslim players still involved in the World Cup will hope for similar understanding from their respective managers and fitness coaches.
"We haven't spoken about it yet,†said Kolo Toure, the Ivory Coast defender. "But it's a special month and Allah, of course, helps us deal with any situation we might face.â€

Susannah Hall Tailors
"A woman in a man's world"
I have been involved with bespoke tailoring for 26 years. Beginning my journey working for 6 years with a tailor based in South London, visiting men in the City and West End, and then deciding to set up my own company in 1996. Initially based in Whitechapel the practical but dull 'office space' was not conducive to clients visiting, so in 2002 I moved the operation to what is now known as my 'Aladdin's cave' of a shop in Clerkenwell.
Susannah Hall Tailors has been built using only UK makers for my bespoke tailoring and shirt making, something that many others have not been able to do. As my popularity as the 'Lady Tailor of Clerkenwell' grew, I decided not only to use my regular suppliers, but to include new and exciting UK designers in order to offer a wonderful variety of ties and accessories.
Susannah Hall Tailors offers a complete bespoke tailoring service for men and women who appreciate the highest quality materials, superior design and British made garments. If you wish to keep up with the trends, go back to a more vintage style or just retain that timeless English classic look, it is up to you.
All of our bespoke suits and tailored garments are made in the UK because we demand the best.

Affluent Lifestyle Guide
When you enter the Hassler Hotel in Rome, the old-world European elegance of a grand structure built in 1893 is still apparent. It's easy to see why notable guests such as Prince Félix de Luxembourg, Frederik of Denmark, Gabriel García Márquez, Pablo Picasso, Prince Charles, Princess Diana, Henry Kissinger, Ingrid Bergman, Deepak Chopra, and John Steinbeck have all stayed at the Hassler.
Every year, new hotels pop up across the globe; some are built from the ground up while others utilize the architecture that is already residing in a city. When developers and designers choose the latter, some pretty stunning properties can take shape. Restored from centuries-old structures, these hotels often times feature unique spaces, vaulted ceilings, original moldings, frescoes and even secret nooks. Of the many properties that debuted in 2015, here's a look at our five favorite hotels that were conceived out of historic buildings.
There's nothing like the feeling of being behind the wheel of a luxury sportscar and zipping past scenic landscapes. This year, Donna Franca Tours and Red Travel have put together a four-day vacation in Italy doing just that, with the help of either the Ferrari 458 Spider, Ferrari 458 Italia, Ferrari California or Ferrari 458 Speciale (upon request with surcharge).
"If these walls could talk," is never more true than when uttered in reference to hotels. Of course, if they could speak, we probably wouldn't want to know all the spicy details of a traveler's stay. But there are some properties whose stories begin long before they ever housed guests. These hotels once housed everyone from bankers to newspaper men and even prisoners, before being transformed into luxury properties across the globe. Here are 10 properties that went from historic spaces to four- and five-star accommodations:
The holidays can be rough on our bodies. Nevermind the stress of shopping in crowded malls, getting together with in-laws or heading to endless Christmas parties. The real reason we dread the season is because we know it means lots of unhealthy eating. Don't get us wrong, we love a good sweet treat as much as the next guy.
With celebrities such as George Clooney, Robert De Niro and business magnate Richard Branson having vacation homes in the area, restaurants along Italy's beautiful Lake Como serve up some very creative dishes. By far, the best way to enjoy this Italian gourmet tour is to rent a car and meander along the lake shoreline to stop off at the below leading restaurants.
When it comes to Italy and wine, you most likely think of Tuscany as one of the country's best regions. But a little over an hour from Milan, tucked away in a tranquil corner of Lombardy, is a winemaking destination that you may not have heard of called Franciacorta. And it's Italy's next big thing.
Nestled within a lush 118,403-square-foot park, the Sheraton Lake Como conveys the impression of rural seclusion even though it is only a 10-minute walk away from the town of Cernobbio and a 15-minute ferry ride to Como itself. Opened this spring, following a multi-million euro renovation under architect Ruggero Venelli, this 116-room property is the first international upscale hotel chain on the lake.
Twin sweeping stone entrance stairways hug either side of at Grand Hotel Tremezzo, and a vintage walnut-paneled elevator offers panoramic views over Lake Como, making your arrival to the five-star property nothing less than enchanting. The immediate sense of romantic, old world charm is fully realized as the elevator doors slide open on to the second floor lobby.
With its prestigious address on Via Veneto, one of the most expensive and exclusive streets in Rome, Jumeirah Grand Hotel via Veneto attracts elite travelers and celebrities year after year to its chic digs. The accommodations come courtesy of two 19th century villas combined to make one stunning property.
Rome is an incredible city. With its layers of fascinating history, stunning architecture and eternal magnetism, it's easy for the Italian destination to get under your skin as soon as you arrive. It's difficult to really capture a sense of the city in just one trip (or even multiple visits, for that matter), but Photographer Oliver Astrologo set out to do just that in his short film simply entitled Roma.
A honeymoon is supposed to be the kind of vacation you'll never forget, a trip of a lifetime. And of course, as your first excursion together as husband and wife, no expense should be spared. Sunset yacht cruise? Yes.
Blink, and it's easy to walk right past the Grand Amore Hotel & Spa, Florence's newest jewel of a property. There are no doormen, lines of luxury cars outside, or any of the other trappings of an upscale hotel. Instead, the slender entrance to Grand Amore is partially curtained, the hotel name engraved in small letters on the glass door.
Each year, as the hotter months roll around to awaken the European joie de vivre, thousands of wealthy tourists flock to idyllic destinations across the continent to shop and sunbathe. Few though, are more coveted, opulent and glamorous than the exclusive enclave of Porto Cervo.
Wine season is here (at least for the Northern Hemisphere)—so naturally, we're enjoying a nice a full-bodied Cab at the moment (it's 5 o'clock somewhere). Did you know that only 10 countries produce 80 percent of the earth's wine? And, according to Wine Folly, "the top three wine regions in the world make enough wine to fill 5,127 Olympic-sized swimming pools."

Holy media moguls! Has Rupert Murdoch discovered his spiritual side? Will the global maestro of plain dealing, pragmatism and unfettered capitalism reveal a mystical side to his thunderstruck associates?
The news came out of the blue on (appropriately) Sunday night, posted on Twitter at 7pm GMT: "Trying to learn transcendental meditation. Everyone recommends, not that easy to get started, but said to improve everything!"
I love that "not that easy to get started", as if meditation were a tricky technical exercise or skill, like baking tarts or water-skiing. Has someone been giving Rupert a meditation manual and assuring him he must learn the contents, as one learns the Highway Code? Perhaps it was the only way to keep his attention. It's hard to imagine Murdoch responding eagerly to classic TM requirements that you clear your mind of intrusive thoughts about success and failure, riches and poverty, and concentrate on small things, like the colours of birds or the time ticking away on a clock.
I'm sure Rupert is as capable of transcendence as anyone, but I suspect his meditation on birds would quickly inspire a 12-part Fox docu-series called Fine Feathers introduced by Bill Bailey and his inspection of time engender a new Robert Zemeckis movie called Back From the Past….
If he keeps up his interest, Rupert will join a long line of worldly materialists (John Lennon, Clint Eastwood, Oprah Winfrey, David Lynch) who have looked to transcendental meditation to release them from being overwhelmed by the material world. But how dull life would be if Murdoch's bracing tweets were suddenly all about his "inner calm", the "stillness" and "balance" of his "inner vision". It would be a significant rip in the fabric of 21st-century certainty if he found any use for a mantra except as an advertising jingle.Reuse content

New York Knicks center Tyson Chandler appreciates his NBA history -- to a point. During a chat via Livestream Wednesday night, Chandler, the lone center on Team USA for the London Olympics, said Celtics legend and Hall of Famer Bill Russell is his favorite player of all time. "He's such an inspiration, not only for what he did on the court but what he did off the court," he said. Chandler disagrees with the likes of Charles Barkley and said his current "dream team" would beat its 1992 counterparts "because I'm on it." He also said he would be happy to play for Team USA again in 2016 if asked and is most excited to face Spain, which has three NBA players on its team, in London.
Chandler said during the chat, which was hosted by the U.S. Olympic Committee as part of its Digital Sendoff campaign, that he's used to standing in the back of photos but otherwise enjoys being the tallest member of Team USA. As far as the "disadvantages" of his height: "When you're 7 feet tall, you can't go and buy clothes off the rack, and obviously, you have to watch your head. ... On a plane, the bathroom isn't made for you, the seats aren't made for you ... but I feel blessed."
As far as being short: "I'd rather be tall because that's the way God made me."
The Olympian said his most important pregame ritual is to "take a nap and try to relax my mind ... from the time I wake up from my nap, it's game-time things I'm preparing for."
He does occasionally play "NBA2K," but never as himself. "But I always win when I play."
Boston's Rajon Rondo, who has become the fall guy in the eyes of many for Ray Allen's exit to Miami, won't be playing in the Olympics. But he's still headed over to Europe for some international hoops as part of the Nike World Basketball Festival.
About to take off for WBF in Paris. #nikebasketball

Athletes are often asked about pregame rituals. NASCAR Nationwide Series driver Brian Scott keeps it simple and in line with the color of his firesuit.

You might have seen this ad during the ESPYS Wednesday.
It appears the bond between Jimmie Johnson and "Pricklbear" might last, even with his release into the wild.

Post Audio
Even though Hollywood has been doing multichannel audio mixing for over 70 years, the sound technicians and artists behind today's mixes take nothing for granted. To get a feel for today's audio postproduction tools and techniques, I visited two of the hottest boutique post houses in town. SonicPool and 5 Guys Named Moe offer state-of-the-art equipment and software and a full range of postproduction services, and both have corporate cultures that focus on strong customer service. The co-founders of these boutique houses both feel that the size of their companies enables them to offer more personal service. "Being a small company helps us be more efficient," says SonicPool Co-Founder Patrick Bird. "We try to operate as if we're a production's post department rather than an outside facility."Read more...
The Digital Dilemma report published in 2007 focused on the archival status of motion pictures produced and owned by the Hollywood studios.
The Digital Dilemma 2 report deals with the archival status of independent narrative films and documentaries. Both reports were co-sponsored by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and the National Digital Information Infrastructure and Preservation Program at the Library of Congress. The research was a collaborative endeavor by Andy Maltz and Milt Shefter, who co-authored both reports.
