The fundamental principles underlying voltage sensing, a hallmark feature of electrically excitable cells, are still enigmatic and the subject of intense scrutiny and controversy. This is precisely the gap in knowledge the program intends to fill. The ultimate goal of this endeavor is the understanding of the mechanism of voltage sensing based on the modular design of voltage-gated channel proteins. Major objectives are: to define the protein fold(s) best suited to fulfill the pivotal function of voltage sensing;to delineate a minimum set of determinants sufficient for sensing;to uncover a molecular blueprint for a versatile voltage sensor design for which a finite number of specified perturbations would adapt it to sense a wide range of membrane potential;and to establish the surface compatibility underlying the interaction between the two modules and the propagation of change from one module to the other that produces the exquisite sensitivity of the pore to voltage in intact voltage-gated channels. We propose to characterize the channel properties of the isolated voltage sensor module (VSM), the pore module (PM), and the self-assembled [VSM-PM] complex by overexpression and reconstitution into lipid bilayers and giant proteoliposomes, aiming to recapitulate the functional features of the intact voltage-gated K+ channel (Kv) from its component modules. We propose to explore the voltage sensor sequence landscape approached by generating and screening random libraries of VSM mutants aiming to identify and demonstrate unsuspected channels with new voltage-gating phenotypes. We intend to determine the atomic resolution-structures of KvLm and its modules by X-ray crystallography. Exciting results have already emerged which pave the way for a decidedly productive phase of the program. Overall, the itinerary entails going from modules to sequence, to structure and back to mechanism. This focused and realistic program outlines a novel way of thinking about voltage sensing.
Ion channels, a special class of membrane proteins that allow the selective and regulated diffusion of ions across membranes, are fundamental for cell function and regulation. Their design is a marvel of protein chemistry and evolution, and their dysfunction is at the root of devastating human diseases such as epilepsy and arrhythmia. The voltage sensor, the unique element that endows Na+ and K+ channels, which underlie the nerve action potential with the exquisite sensitivity to transmembrane voltage, remains enigmatic and needs further study. The thrust of our program aims to establish structure-function relationships with a primary emphasis on the modular design of the transmembrane domain in voltage-gated channel proteins.

An Empirical Analysis of Cost Efficiency in Non-profit and Public Nursing Homes
This paper examines the issue of cost-efficiency in Switzerland's nursing homes, an issue of concern to policy makers because of the rapid growth of elderly care expenditure and the aging of the population. The fact that nursing homes in Switzerland exist in different institutional forms, private for-profit, government and non-profit status, raises the issue of their relative cost efficiency. A panel data of 17 public and 19 nonprofit nursing homes operating over the 9-year period from 1993 to 2001, in one of the 26 Swiss cantons, Ticino, is studied. Ticino's nursing homes are heavily regulated and monitored by the canton's authorities. However, given that in public firms there are more bureaucratic constraints and agency problems, one can expect a relatively low level of cost-efficiency. In this paper the effect of institutional form on efficiency is studied using a translog stochastic cost-frontier model. Several specifications are used to study the robustness of the results. The results suggest that the institutional form influences the efficiency of the studied nursing homes in that non-profit foundations are likely to be more cost-efficient than the nursing homes operated by government administration. The results also suggest that a great majority of the nursing homes in the sample do not fully benefit from scale economies. This implies that efficiency gains can be obtained with larger capacities or joint operations. Copyright CIRIEC, 2004.

The Arab League's political initiative brings an important shift in the Syrian crisis. There is, for the most part, consensus among Arab countries that the incumbent president, Bashar Al-Assad, must step-down and confer his powers to his deputy.
Tuesday, 28 February 2012 11:51 GMT
In a surprise move, and despite differences by different members of the Arab League on the first report of the League's monitors in Syria, the Council of Foreign Ministers of the Arab League surprised both Arab and international public opinion by announcing a new Arab League initiative to deal with the Syrian crisis. This initiative is a significant step in the direction of addressing security concerns that have arisen out of the Syrian crisis. It is difficult for international powers and actors interested in the future of Syria to ignore such an initiative. This is a brief review of the Syrian situation in light of the new Arab League initiative.
Unless recent opposition gains in Syria are translated into tangible political results that maintain the country's unity and rebuild it, they will remain of little significance. This paper draws three possible scenarios for Syria in the near future in light of recent developments.
Nearly two weeks into Operation Decisive Storm, it has become imperative to re-examine the Saudi-led operation's goals, their feasibility and regional implications of the attacks.
The implications of the military strikes launched by Saudi Arabia in collaboration with ten other countries against the Houthis in Yemen last night have several implications for the participating coalition, for Yemen, for the region at large and for other international players.
This policy brief outlines key reasons the coup failed in Turkey, the possible political paths the country could take after the coup and reactions from regional and global actors.

I've watched him in Friday and in Barbershop.
Last week Ice Cube beat me up and he wouldn't stop.
I kissed a lady who turned out to be his girlfriend.
I'm in the hospital and it will take awhile for my broken bones to mend.
If you see Ice Cube, don't aggravate him and don't make him mad.
He'll kick your ass too because he is bad.

Human babies and even animals have a basic number sense that many believe evolves from seeing the world and trying to quantify all the sights. But vision has nothing to do with it – Johns Hopkins University neuroscientists have found that the brain network behind numerical reasoning is identical in blind and sighted people.

How a Woman With Amnesia Defies Conventional Wisdom About Memory
Johns Hopkins University cognitive scientists say the sharp contrasts in the memory profile of a patient with severe amnesia — her inability to remember facts about pursuits once vital to her life as an artist, musician and amateur aviator, while clearly remembering facts relevant to performing in these domains — suggest conventional wisdom about how the brain stores knowledge is incorrect.
Researchers Find What Could Be Brain's Trigger for Binge Behavior
Rats that responded to cues for sugar with the speed and excitement of binge-eaters were less motivated for the treat when certain neurons were suppressed, researchers discovered.
JHU Researcher's Use of Owls Provide Clues on How Humans Might Direct Attention

It's All Coming Back to Me Now: JHU Researchers Find Caffeine Enhances Memory
For some, it's the tradition of steeping tealeaves to brew the perfect cup of tea. For others, it's the morning shuffle to a coffee maker for a hot jolt of java. Then there are those who like their wake up with the kind of snap and a fizz usually found in a carbonated beverage. Regardless of the routine, the consumption of caffeine is the energy boost of choice for millions to wake up or stay up. Now, however, researchers at the Johns Hopkins University have found another use for the stimulant: memory enhancer.
It Takes Two: Brains Come Wired for Cooperation, JHU Neuroscientist Asserts
When legal commentator Nancy Grace and her partner danced a lively rumba to Spandau Ballet's 1980's hit, "True," on a recent "Dancing With the Stars," more was going on in the legal commentator's brain than concern over a possible wardrobe malfunction. Deep in Grace's cortex, millions of neurons were hard at work doing what they apparently had been built to do: act and react to partner Tristan MacManus's movements to create a pas de deux that had the dancers functioning together (for the most part) like a well-oiled machine. That is because the brain was built for cooperative activity, whether it be dancing on a reality television show, constructing a skyscraper or working in an office, according to a study led by Johns Hopkins behavioral neuroscientist Eric Fortune and published in the November 4 issue of the journal Science.

As the rules now stand, that's the way it's supposed to be done.
If two people find similar sports, they are supposed to have different
names unless it can be shown that they are identical in all respects.
I'm not sure that we can ever do that. People still do not agree
whether Mayan Moon and Abiqua Moonbeam, or Guardian Angel and Angel Eyes
are the same plants. When they came out, most people said that Mayan
Moon and Abiqua Moonbeam were the same, but Alex grew them side by side
and said they were different. Whether it matters or not I don't know,
but if after a number of years the differences were significant, under
the old rules, both plants would have been traded under the same name and
many people would not know which one they had.
We took three plants of Angel Eyes and three of Guardian Angel and grew
them side by side in three different gardens in Wisconsin. One person
said they were the same plant, one said that Guardian Angel was superior
and the third liked Angel Eyes best. I personally think they may
be the same plant that grows differently under different conditions, but
I really don't know.
The theory is that it is better to have one plant registered under two
names than to have two plants out there with the same name. I don't
think there is any easy answer.

Epic Game Day Eats for Sunday
It's kind of awesome for me to announce that I'm participating in the Visa/NFl Make It Epic Campaign.

Comment Re:As a tech worker with kids... (Score 4, Insightful) 386
It's all of that, yes. But it's also:
* cost of living/price of housing per foot
* food costs are insane
* the culture is hostile to child rearing (even eg. Facebook offer bereavement leave and adoption assistance... but no on-premises childcare? That's standard for many large companies throughout the country.)
* the tax rate is obscene
* the tech work culture is extremely ageist, and anyone over 30 is going to encounter it
* the SF area IT culture actively encourages career instability (which is problematic if you'd ever like to buy a house).
You can make half as much in another locale and have twice the quality of living, if not more, in many other metro areas in the US, working in IT... if you're going to the bay area, you're likely in it to make a mark and a name, not to raise a family.

The Convergence of
Internet Marketing, Business Technology, and Powerful Data that Drives Digital Performance
As seen on:
Growing Since 1999
"While most internet marketers, start-ups, and businesses were worried about what their competition was doing, I was far more intrigued by what they WERE NOT doing." – TA
Powerful growth strategies collide with the technology that rapidly amplifies your results.
Your business systems are just as important as your brand or your marketing efforts. Without the proper technology, your marketing dollars are not working to their fullest potential.
Optimize Your Business By Addressing:

- Missed growth opportunities
- Disorganized lead management
- Lack of data to continually track, optimize and refine existing marketing campaigns

Last night we were in San Diego's East Village, near the ballpark, in a dairy factory converted to an urban loft, with a food truck selling empanadas on the street outside. It proved a great setting for a wide-ranging conversation last night with a guy who's done a lot of thinking about cities and development and housing and how to do them all better.
Matt Yglesias, a Washington, D.C.-based business and economics blogger for Slate, joined us at Luce Loft for the first 2013 installment in our "One Voice at a Time" series. We talked a lot about themes from his book, The Rent Is Too Damn High.
I hosted the conversation, and more than 120 readers attended and a few pitched in thoughts and questions. We'll have a few short videos from last night to share with you early next week, but for now, here are a few highlights from the night.

John Wilson Carpenter III (August 11, 1916 – November 8, 1996) was a 1939 graduate of the U.S. Military Academy who served with distinction in the U.S. Air Force as a pilot and commander, including significant combat service.[1][2]
Carpenter studied engineering at Oklahoma A&M University and Mississippi State College before entering the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, New York, in 1935, where he graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in military science in 1939. After graduation, he attended the U.S. Army Air Corps flying schools at Tulsa, Oklahoma, Randolph Field, Texas and Kelly Field, Texas, receiving his pilot wings in June 1940.
Military career[edit]
Carpenter's first flying assignment was with the 19th Bombardment Group at March Air Force Base, California, where he served as a heavy bombardment pilot, navigator and bombardier. In May 1941 he participated in the first mass flight of B-17s from Hamilton Field, California, to Hickam Air Force Base, Hawaii. In October 1941 he flew with the 19th Bombardment Group as navigator on a B-17 from Albuquerque, New Mexico, to Clark Field, the Philippine Islands, where he was assigned as squadron intelligence officer and combat crew commander.
Combat 1941-1942[edit]
When the Japanese attacked Clark Field on December 8, 1941, then-Lieutenant Carpenter was airborne on a reconnaissance mission. His aircraft survived several passes made by 5-10 Japanese fighter aircraft and he then maneuvered to avoid contact until the attack on the field ended.[3] His aircraft was one of the first to land at Clark Field after the attack.[4] The following day he flew the first reconnaissance mission to Formosa (now Taiwan), in place of the B-17 destroyed in the previous day's attack while by while being prepared for the same mission. He was forced to abort the mission due to generator problems.[5] After flying several missions against the Japanese forces, he was ordered to Bataan where he commanded the ground echelon of the 19th Bombardment Group. After serving with the Infantry for two months he was evacuated to Java by submarine and rejoined his unit. He continued to fly combat missions until the 19th Bombardment Group returned to the United States in December 1942.
Post-combat 1943-1944[edit]
After returning to the continental U.S., Carpenter served on tours of duty at Eglin Air Force Base, Florida; Headquarters Army Air Forces Bombardment Training Division, Washington, D.C.; and Headquarters Twentieth Air Force in Washington and the Mariana Islands.
The new B-29 Superfortress had serious teething problems and General Arnold became alarmed at the situation and directed that his assistant, Major General B. E. Meyer, personally take charge of the entire modification program. The resulting burst of activity that took place between 10 March and 15 April 1944 came to be known as the "Battle of Kansas." Carpenter, with many others, played an important part in getting the B-29s ready for combat duties.[6]
Twentieth Air Force[edit]
The Twentieth Air Force was brought into existence on 4 April 1944 specifically to perform strategic bombardment missions against Japan. This was done at the insistence of General Henry H. (Hap) Arnold, commander of the USAAF, mainly to avoid having the new B-29 Superfortress being diverted to tactical missions under pressure from the China Burma India Theater commanders. Twentieth Air Force was to be commanded by General Arnold himself at Joint Chiefs of Staff level. Carpenter had been involved in the training division for the B-29s then assigned to the Headquarters of the Twentieth Air Force in Washington. The Twentieth Air Force was completely autonomous and its B-29s were to be completely independent of other command structures and would be dedicated exclusively against strategic targets in Japan.[6][7]
In addition Twentieth Air Force was chosen (secretly) to be the operational component of the Manhattan Project in 1944, and performed the atomic attacks on Japan in August 1945. In 1944, one of Carpenter's duties was to help oversee the personnel selected for the 509th Composite Group and to support the independence of this unit.[7]
Initially under the command of General Hap Arnold, and later under operational command of General Curtis LeMay and General Nathan Twining. In August 1945 the Twentieth Air Force was placed under the U.S. Strategic Air Forces in the Pacific which was commanded by General Carl Spaatz.[6][7]
Operation Matterhorn[edit]
Operation Matterhorn was the name for the Twentieth Air Force B-29 Superfortress offensive against the Empire of Japan from airfields in China. On 10 April 1944, the Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) informally approved Operation Matterhorn. The operational vehicle was to be the 58th Bombardment Wing (Very Heavy) of the XX Bomber Command.[6][7]
By late 1944, it was becoming apparent that B-29 operations against Japan staged out of bases in China and India were far too expensive in men and materials and would have to be stopped. In December 1944, the Joint Chiefs of Staff made the decision that Operation Matterhorn would be phased out, and the 58th Bombardment Wing's B-29s would be moved to newly captured bases in the Marianas in the central Pacific. Carpenter moved there to help expedite the Twentieth Air Force mission and to help prepare for the movement of the 509th there.[6][7]
The Marianas chain of islands, consisting primarily of Saipan, Tinian, and Guam, were considered as being ideal bases from which to launch B-29 operations against Japan. The islands were about 1500 miles from Tokyo, a range which the B-29s could just about manage. Most important of all, they could be put on a direct supply line from the United States by ship.[6][7]
Post war[edit]
Later tours included Air Command and Staff College as a student and then instructor, a tour in the Philippine Islands, first as commander, 5th Reconnaissance Group, and later as vice commander, Thirteenth Air Force. In 1951 he was transferred to headquarters of Air Research and Development Command (now Air Force Systems Command), Baltimore, Maryland. After completing Air War College in July 1954, he became vice commander of Arnold Engineering Development Center at Arnold Air Force Base (Station, at the time), Tullahoma, Tennessee. He returned to Air Research and Development Command headquarters in March 1955 and later became chief of plans and programs. In March 1959 he assumed command of the Air Force Flight Test Center at Edwards Air Force Base, California. In July 1961 he was assigned to Headquarters U.S. Air Force, Washington, D.C.. In August 1965 he was appointed commander of Air University, where he served until July 1968 when he returned to Headquarters U.S. Air Force as Deputy Chief of Staff, Personnel. In August 1969 he was appointed assistant Vice Chief of Staff, U.S. Air Force, with additional duty as senior Air Force member, Military Staff Committee, United Nations, in which positions he completed his active duty military service.
Retirement from Active Duty[edit]
Carpenter retired in the rank of Lieutenant General on August 1, 1970. In retirement, he served as the eighth superintendent of Culver Military Academy from 1970 to 1974.[8]

fact I have been over this thing so much this afternoon that I can even

Of course in your situation no single node can handle all load. So you have to connect to several nodes. The best way, I believe, is to connect right to the node, owning data you need. Take a look to org/apache/cassandra/client/RingCache.java for an example how to read ring state and forward requests to right node. > - How do we design a cassandra cluster to make sure that insert get distributed to more than one nodes? > - If i prefer OrderPreservingPartition as a partitioner, how does single node handle all the 200k records? If you prefer OPP, you have 2 ways (manual and automatic): 1. If you know distribution of keys in your data, you distribute token values between you nodes in a way, which ensures unform key distribution. Imagine, if you have single byte keys ranging from 0 to 255 and 64 nodes (i assume data is distributed uniformly across all keys for simplicity). For this you'll have to manually configure <Token> in storage-conf of 1st node to 0, 2nd = 4, 3rd = 8, 4th=12 and so on. 2. The automatic way is to start cassandra cluster with small node count, import data to it and bootstrap rest of nodes, specifying bootstrap=true and empty value for token in storage conf. This way cassandra will try to balance data by itself. 200k of records are not big deal for cassandra, IMHO, but of course this depends on your hardware and size of records. Anyway, good idea is to test your configuration with real data first.

History of Banking in Antebellum America by Howard N. Bodenhorn
Book DescriptionPrevious banking histories have focused on the money supply function of early American banks and its connection to the recurrent boom-bust cycle of the antebellum era. This history focuses on the credit generating function of American banks It demonstrates that banks aggressively promoted development rather than passively followed its course. Using previously unexploited data, Professor Bodenhorn shows that banks helped to advance the development of incipient industrialization. Additionally, he shows that banks formed long-distance relationships that promoted geographic capital mobility, thereby assuring that short-term capital was directed in socially desirable directions, that is, where it was most in demand. He then traces those institutional and legal developments that allowed for this capital mobility. The result was that America was served by an efficient system of financial intermediaries by the mid-nineteenth century.

Posted on September 02 2015
For many centuries, eyewear was usually made from glass, which was called crown glass. However, advances in the 20th century led to a great number of new lens materials that has made wearing glasses more convenient. These materials are stronger, lighter and more powerful. Some of the most popular lens materials today are plastic, polycarbonate, Trivex and high index plastic.
Although glass is a less common lens material today, it is still an option. Glass provides great optical performance and is quite scratch resistant. However, it is one of the heavier materials. Plastic lenses (called CR-39) were one of the first replacements of glass for lens materials. One reason why plastic lenses became popular was their weight – they weigh about half as much as glass lenses. Plastic lenses are also cost efficient, so they will often be the least expensive option in lens material. Perhaps consequently, plastic is the most commonly-used lens material today. It does have some disadvantages, though. Untreated, plastic lenses can scratch easily, are not as impact-resistant and do not have UV protection. Some of these problems can be addressed through coatings.
Polycarbonate lenses have become a popular choice for lens materials, evidenced by the fact that they are the second-most-used material today. The advantages of polycarbonate lenses are that they are much more impact-resistant that plastic or glass (up to ten times more resistant). So they are an excellent choice for children and those with active lifestyles. Polycarbonates are also lighter in weight than plastic or glass, so it can be more comfortable. Although polycarbonate is scratch-prone, most manufacturers coat the lenses to prevent scratches. One disadvantage is that some people with very strong prescriptions find lower clarity with polycarbonates, especially along the edges of the lens.
The development of lens materials continues, and one of the newest materials is called Trivex (first offered in 2001). Like polycarbonate, Trivex also provides strong impact resistance and has UV protection. Furthermore, it is lighter in weight than polycarbonate and tends to have less visual distortions or aberrations than that material. However, Trivex lenses are slightly thicker than polycarbonate ones, and they may cost more than polycarbonates depending on the style of lens.
Some lens materials refract light more than others. The measurement of how much the material bends light is called the index of refraction. Materials with a higher index of refraction bend light better and are called "high index." There are high index lenses made of both plastic and glass. These materials are advantageous for those with strong prescriptions, saving them from incredibly thick glasses. High index lenses can be both very powerful and thin. This material can also be an option for people who want very thin lenses, even if they do not need powerful ones.
