Ship-shape inhibitors in the Williams Group!Thursday, 23 January 2014 - 11:15pm
Mannosidases are glycoside hydrolases that catalyze the hydrolysis of a diverse range of polysaccharides and glycoconjugates, with applications in the pharmaceutical, detergent, food, biofuels and oil and gas industries. Using a combination of computational chemistry, inhibitor design and synthesis, and X-ray crystallography of inhibitor/enzyme complexes, Dr Rohan Williams and Assoc Prof Spencer Williams, along with collaborators at York (UK), Newcastle (UK) and Barcelona (Spain) (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed., 2014, 53, 1087-1091) have shown that that so-called mannoimidazole-type inhibitors are energetically poised to report faithfully on mannosidase transition-state conformation. Using the newly synthesized mannobiose-derived mannimidazole (ManMIm) direct evidence was provided for the conformational itinerary used by poorly characterized mannosidases and provided elusive, direct evidence in support of a boat-shaped transition state. You can read about the work here: http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/anie.201308334/abstract

It seems that people turn to religion as a salve for the difficulties and uncertainties of their lives. In anearlier study of 137 countries, I found that belief in God was higher in countries with a heavy load of infectious diseases, making life difficult and uncertain. Moreover, fewer people believed in God in wealthy and well-educated countries where life is easier. Countries with a more equal distribution of income - and hence less social problems - had more atheists. Atheism was higher for countries with a well-developed welfare state (as indexed by high taxation rates).
Yet, the 2011 study had a weakness. The data were not collected in the same way in different countries and were not strictly comparable. In a study published in the February issue of Cross-Cultural Research, I analyzed Gallup data on the importance of religion in people's daily lives. The key advantage of the Gallup data is that the same polling methodology was used in each of the 114 countries for which they collected data in 2009.
My results in the new study mirrored those of the earlier one on belief in God. I found that more people reported that religion was important in their daily lives in countries with difficult living conditions. Moreover, as the size of government increased (as assessed by personal taxation rates) the importance of religion declined.
This was not because the government was suppressing religion as happened in Communist countries. I controlled for countries having a Communist past. My study also controlled for whether a country was mostly Muslim (where atheism may be criminalized).

Anyone seen/seeing this at the Soho Theatre or elsewhere on tour (Warwick/South Shields/Scotland)? I caught it when it opened in Glasgow and have been surprised by the level of praise it received from the critics. Although the performances by Kate Dickie and David McKay were undeniably excellent I haven't seen any reviews remotely as negative as my own so I'd be interested in hearing what others think...

Yesterday's Heroes: Compensation and Risk at Financial Firms

AFA 2011 Denver Meetings Paper
ECGI - Finance Working Paper No. 285/2010
Many believe that compensation, misaligned from shareholder value due to managerial entrenchment, caused some financial firms to take creative risks before the Financial Crisis of 2008. We argue instead that pay and risk can be correlated even in a classical principal-agent setting where entrenchment is absent and firm risk is exogenous. To incentivize managers, shareholders give them ownership stakes. For the same stake, risk-averse managers at riskier firms face greater wealth uncertainty since their stock prices are more volatile. They then need to receive greater total pay to compensate them for bearing extra risk. Using lagged stock return volatility, even back to when a firm first goes public, as a measure of exogenous firm risk, we confirm our conjecture that firm risk leads to pay. We also find that institutional investors, who are most likely to be able to influence managers and understand company risks, were more likely to hold riskier finance firms.

Post subject: I'm about to be new!
Hi Terrapin Base! I'm about to be a short-term transfer to your base from out here in Sunrider. My name is Jenna and I'll be working on my masters in International Development at American University for this next year. I'm in an international dual-degree program, so my second year will be in Kyoto, Japan.
As long as all the paperwork goes through as planned, I'll be living in Silver Springs, just outside of DC. I don't think I'm going to have a car, however, so I'm not sure how many events I'll actually be able to make it to. We'll see. For the sake of space in my trunk, I don't think I'll be able to bring all of my costumes out, but I'll at least have a Padme, Leia, and a Pilot.
I'm hitting the road and working my way across the country starting next week, so I should be pulling into DC sometime about two weeks from now. I look forward to meeting you guys there!

Welcome to the Base!
Kellie is right in that you will be close to the Washington Metro system (WMATA is the official acronym for it), so you'll be able to get to a fair number of troops within the DC area on it. My advice if you want to go that route is to get a SmarTrip card (you can get them at any of the stations). They're usable on just about all the local Transit systems, except for MARC, and the stuff out in Baltimore (all run by MTA/MDOT).
Feel free to let any of us know if you have questions.
They came to fight for glory in the thousands.

They died before the guns in the hundreds.

Where are they now? The broken heroes.

I just arrived at my new house in Silver Spring and I'm still in the process of unpacking, but it looks like all of my costumes made it out here in one piece. I decided not to bring Juhani, Queen Talia, or my Battle Handmaiden, but that still leaves me with four to use this year. I look forward to meeting you all!

It is located on 40 acres with seven acres of laydown area, with expansion capability to handle lumber, dimensional products and accommodate container stuffing. The facility features 104 car spots, a certified truck scale, and is fully paved, fenced, and lighted. The Chesapeake TBT is strategically positioned to serve Hampton Roads-served markets as well as markets overseas with its close proximity to nearby container terminals.
Norfolk Southern has a network of 32 TBT facilities in 17 states. The new Chesapeake terminal is operated under license by RSI Leasing Inc. More information on Norfolk Southern's transload network is available at www.nscorp.com/distributionservices.

Comments On Nov 28, 2012:I am a chiropractor. It stuns me that the AMA has not made this mandatory for all races. Other sports have rules about neck support. As for this brace, rode with it all day. I was great. Very little restriction in normal movement. I did not notice it except when I was turning around to see if the other riders in our group had caught up. I will wear it for all our big guy rides. I will not wear it for the family rides when all the kids go. I may change my mind later but I would recommend this in a heart beat. This is cheaper than a month of care in my office because you hurt your neck.

Comments On Nov 23, 2012:I spent a lot of time researching neck braces before purchasing the Leatt Club III and I was NOT let down. After narrowing my selection to just two braces (Alpinestar Bionic & Club III), I chose the Club III because it "appeared" to have better adjust-ability. With just two sizes to chose from and plenty of fitting adjustments, I successfully fitted my sons brace and my brace in under 30 minutes. A major benefit is that with the adjustment spacers will allow the brace to grow with my son as he grows - excellent idea Leatt! The brace is very comfortable and I started "forgetting" about it during the first hour or riding. The padding is plentiful, but can be a little abrasive at first around the sides of the neck. The final back and chin support adjustments allow for perfect fine tuning for maximum protection without obstruction movement. I'm very satisfied with this brace!

Comments On Aug 04, 2012:The brace was easy to fit. I don't even know it's there. Definitely worth the money.

Comments On Aug 01, 2012:I bought this neck brace & love it! don't even know I'm wearing when I'm riding. Leatt by far is the best!!

DayPosted: December 3rd, 2008 | Author: John | Filed under: dance music culture | No Comments »
Why We Need More Dayclubs
A few minutes after sunrise has always been one of my favorite times to practice on the CDJs. There's just something about that cool blue light filling up the house.
Nightclub culture wouldn't be what it is if it didn't spend its formative years in the dark. But when did dance culture go the same way?
I guess that's why outdoor psytrance experiences have always been so fun. Especially how many of these gigs have DJs specifically for the mornings.
And it's a different experience compared to listening to a DJ play for an entire night then into the following morning. After 8 hours of continuous dancing, your mind and body respond very differently. Tiredness calls for completely different kind of music.
This isn't the morning I'm describing.
Dancing in the dark has become a bad habit. If you are truly uplifted by the act of dancing, by dance music, then stop hiding behind the parcans, strobes, and smoke machines. There's a much better venue.
Try this, compose yourself a 'morning playlist', it really doesn't matter what style or genre it is, you don't even have to play it loudly. No headphones allowed.
It helps if the tracks serve to inspire, energize, or even heal.
Double-plus good mornings call for double-plus morning music.
Make sure fresh, clean air is moving about. Then let your playlist do it's work.
Don' forget to share your results and playlists here.

Monday, February 17, 2014
FFA members from the Chipola FFA Federation spent their Presidents Day giving back to the community. Comprised of schools within the Chipola College district, the Chipola FFA Federation strives to support all FFA members through a variety of activities.
On Monday, members lived out the Living to Serve portion of the motto when they worked on completing the Covenant Hospice Yard Angel Project.
"Getting to help someone is really a wonderful experience," said Faith Downthit, of the Grand Ridge FFA Chapter. The eighth grader said that she would absolutely recommend the opportunity to someone else if they wanted to lend a helping hand. Continue reading

Jay Z was once simply a rapper.
Today, he's an absolute superstar, with his own record label, a clothing line, a sports talent agency and a wife, Beyonce, who also happens to be one of the world's biggest pop stars.
On Dec. 1, Jay Z will bring his "Magna Carta World Tour" to Lincoln to play the Pinnacle Bank Arena. Tickets go on sale Thursday.
Over the years, Jay Z has continually reinvigorated himself and his fans with lavish raps and incredible beats. All the while, he has started new business ventures and, for several years, ran one of the biggest hip-hop labels around.
We tracked his ever-rising career (and his brief retirement) with five musical moments that marked his reinventions, renewals and returns to form.
"Can't Knock the Hustle"
Before this song came out on his debut album, "Reasonable Doubt," Hova was selling CDs out of the back of his car, and he created Rock-A-Fella Records because no one else would sign him. When it dropped in 1996, the album reached No. 23 on Billboard's chart and has since gone platinum. "Can't Knock the Hustle" featured Mary J. Blige, who was huge at the time.
"Hard Knock Life (Ghetto Anthem)" and "Big Pimpin'"
It's one thing to have a hit song or a hit album (especially when Mary J. Blige and Notorious B.I.G. are involved), but it's pretty impressive to follow that up with a couple of huge hits, a Grammy and several million albums sold. Jay Z's third album, "Vol. 2 ... Hard Knock Life," sold more than 5 million copies, and his fourth, "Vol. 3 ... The Life and Times of S. Carter," sold 3 million.
The cornerstones of each record were "Hard Knock Life," and its sample of the musical "Annie," and "Big Pimpin," whose music video has Jay throwing cash into a crowd, hanging with barely clothed women and smoking cigars on a yacht.
"99 Problems"
Is there a better hip-hop album than "The Black Album?" We're not sure, but Mr. Carter swung hard with his 2003 record — and he definitely hit a home run. "Encore," "Change Clothes" and "Dirt Off Your Shoulder" are all great jams, but the Rick Rubin-produced "99 Problems" and its black-and-white video put Jay Z on top of the rap game once again. No one has since knocked him off. And what did Jay Z do after another amazing success? He "retired" from rap.
"Show Me What You Got"
Like superheroes that can't stay dead, no successful musician ever really retires. Jay Z was no different. His retirement lasted from his 2003 Madison Square Garden concert — the subject of the film "Fade to Black" — to a comeback party for the album "Kingdom Come" in 2005. At the time, the horn-heavy single "Show Me What You Got" was released, Hova was also named the CEO of Def Jam Recordings, so you can thank him for the careers of Rihanna and Ne-Yo.
"In Paris"
By 2011, we knew Jay -Z was the king of hip-hop. And he did, too. We expected big things when he and Kanye West made an album together. "Watch the Throne" crushed our expectations by being way more awesome than we thought it could. The crown jewel was the sharp synthesizer notes in "In Paris," which won the Grammy that year for best rap performance.

Comments On Feb 24, 2013:Nice decals, look pretty good and similar to oem. I had to trim them just a bit with a razor blade because the edge didn't want to stay stuck down. Might have helped if I heated them a bit.

Comments On Jun 09, 2008:These are the best after-market OEM-style graphics. The one qualm I have with them is they could use a more consistent adhesive application--sometimes the edges aren't as sticky as the centers.

The 36-year-old victim told police he was away from his home from October until February, Anniston police Sgt. Chris Sparks said.
When the victim returned home, he contacted Gadsden State Community College asking about his financial aid and scholarship checks, Sparks said. The college told him the checks were mailed to him and had been cashed, the sergeant said.
The checks total $1,950, according to a police report.
Sparks said a suspect has been named and the case is still under investigation.
A suspect will likely face charges of second-degree theft, a felony, according to the report.

Optimize Your User Experience
- Track Visitor Clicks
- Pinpoint hotspots
- See where visitors stop scrolling
- Connect clicks with traffic types
Perfectly Suited for…
- Digital Marketers
- UX & UI Designers
- Web managers & analysts
- Agencies & consultancies
A heatmap is an easy way to understand what users want, care about and do on your site by visually representing their clicks - which are the strongest indicators of visitor motivation and desire.
A Crazy Egg heatmap lets you collect more than 88% of the data you would using a traditional eye-tracking process. At a fraction of the price. With no hardware. Almost no IT involvement. And no strings attached.
Wouldn't you like to fill in the gaps left by analytics… without A/B testing every little assumption… and without breaking the bank on in-lab usability studies? Here's how Crazy Egg will help you connect the dots for less…
At a glance, see the hotspots on each page - so you know what to change, preserve or delete
Find a hot spot? Use overlays to see the percentage of visitors clicking something...
See how far your users scroll and where their attention fades or disappears
It's not just about what get clicked... but also who clicks what. Map traffic sources to behavior!
Crazy Egg is great at tracking clicks on ads like AdSense. You can track where on the ad they click, test ads in different positions and of different designs (run one test for a few days, then make a change and run another one).
Crazy Egg is like X-Ray vision for your site! By using it, we were quickly able to see where people are clicking on our landing pages. The reports Crazy Egg generated allowed us to make the changes accordingly, which helped us drastically increase the click-through rate.
There is nothing in Google Analytics that can replace the functionality Crazy Egg provides -- Google Analytics have the site overlay report, this tells you what percentage of people clicked through to what page -- but it can't tell you which part they clicked. Crazy Egg shows you where everyone has clicked, whether it was on a link or not -- this highlights usability errors and often areas that could result in an improvement in conversions.
By using Crazy Egg, I was able to find metrics that were really worth measuring, like "where people click." Also, I was able to segment the visitors that came to my site into multiple categories. These types of visitors had distinctly different behaviors, and I was able to enhance our site to improve the experience for the various types of visitors by presenting content that was relevant to the visitor's needs. Conversion optimization can be direct or indirect, in our case Crazy Egg has helped us find small indirect interaction treasures otherwise hidden from us.
I have used many analytics tools in my career, but Crazy Egg is pushing the envelope. If you want to understand consumer behavior on your web site in an effort to increase conversions and engagement, Crazy Egg is the tool to use.
We have used Crazy Egg extensively on a number of different projects. In each case, Crazy Egg was able to illuminate not only how our users were interacting with our site, but also what content they were looking for. This allowed us to optimize our pages so that our users would stay on the sites up to 30% longer leading to higher SEO rankings as well as higher sales. On oDigger.com, we actually did a full site redesign based on the information collected from our Crazy Egg Heatmaps.

Fiduciary Duties of Directors of Charitable Organizations
A Guide for Board Members From the Office of Minnesota Attorney General
This Guide is provided by the Minnesota Attorney General's Office to assist board members with the important responsibilities assumed when they volunteer their time. It is only a guide and is not meant to prescribe exactly how board members must act in all situations. Each organization possesses a distinct composition and experiences different circumstances and outcomes. This guide is merely provided as a reference tool and outline to assist directors in performing their duties. It does not contain all of the provisions, exceptions, limitations and requirements of the law. For the exact requirements of the law, please refer to the source of the law itself. Many of the guidelines in this guide are taken from the Minnesota Nonprofit Corporation Act, located in Minnesota Statutes Chapter 317A. For more assistance, there are a number of resources in Minnesota that provide, at little or no cost, information, direct assistance and materials for charities, their officers and directors. A list of these resources can be obtained from the Minnesota Attorney General's Office, 1200 Bremer Tower, 445 Minnesota Street, St. Paul, MN 55101, telephone: (651) 296-3353 or 1-800-657-3787. TTY: (651) 297-7206 or 1-800-366-4812. Website: www.ag.state.mn.us
Upon request this material can be made available in alternative formats.
The Attorney General's Office has prepared this Guide for Board Members to help directors understand their responsibilities as stewards of their organizations. Under Minnesota law, directors of a Minnesota nonprofit corporation are responsible for the management of the business and affairs of the corporation. This does not mean that directors are required to manage the day to day activities of a corporation or to act in the role of an Executive Director. It does mean that directors must appoint officers and assign responsibilities to them so that the officers can effectively carry out the daily tasks of running the corporation. It also means that directors must supervise and direct the officers and govern the charity's efforts in carrying out its mission. In carrying out their responsibilities, the law imposes on directors the fiduciary duties of care, loyalty and obedience to the law. Minnesota courts have held that the law imposes the highest standard of integrity on the bearers of these duties.
Directors of Minnesota nonprofit corporations must discharge their duties in good faith, in a manner the director reasonably believes to be in the best interests of the corporation, and with the care an ordinarily prudent person in a like position would exercise under similar circumstances.
1. Active Participation. A director must actively participate in the management of the organization including attending meetings of the board, evaluating reports, reading minutes, reviewing the performance and compensation of the Executive Director and so on. Persons who do not have the time to participate as required should not agree to be on the board.
2. Committees. Directors may establish committees having the authority of the board and may rely on information, opinions or reports of these committees. Committees operate subject to the direction and control of the board. As a result, directors are still responsible for the committees and should periodically scrutinize their work.
3. Board Actions. A director who is present at a meeting when an action is approved by the entire board is presumed to have agreed to the action unless the director objects to the meeting because it was not lawfully called or convened and doesn't participate in the meeting, or unless the director votes against the action or the director is prohibited from voting on the action because of a conflict of interest.
4. Minutes of Meetings. Written minutes should be taken at every board meeting. The minutes should accurately reflect board discussions as well as actions taken at meetings.
5. Books and Records. A director should have general knowledge of the books and records of the organization as well as its general operation. The organization's articles, bylaws, accounting records, voting agreements and minutes must be made available to members and directors who wish to inspect them for a proper purpose.
6. Accurate Record Keeping. A director should not only be familiar with the content of the books and records, but should also assure that the organization's records and accounts are accurate. This may mean the director must take steps to require regular audits by an independent certified public accountant. At the very least, the director should be aware of what the financial records disclose and take appropriate action to make sure there are proper internal controls.
7. Trust Property. A director has the duty to protect, preserve, invest and manage the corporation's property and to do so consistent with donor restrictions and legal requirements. Instituting proper internal controls will aid in the protection of assets.
8. Resources. A director must assist the organization in obtaining adequate resources to enable it to further its charitable mission.
9. Charitable Trusts. A trustee of a charitable trust has a higher standard of care than a director of a nonprofit corporation. A trustee has the duty to exercise the care an ordinary person would employ in dealing with that person's own property. A trustee with a greater level of skill must use that higher skill in carrying out the trustee's duties.
10. Investigations. A director has a duty to investigate warnings or reports of officer or employee theft or mismanagement. In some situations a director may have to report misconduct to the appropriate authorities, such as the police or the Attorney General. Where appropriate, a director should consult an attorney or other professional for assistance.
Traditionally, directors have an absolute duty of complete, undivided loyalty to the organization. This means that directors should avoid using their position or the organization's assets in a way which would result in pecuniary or monetary gain for them or for any member of their family. A director should put the good of the organization first and avoid engaging in transactions with the organization from which the director will benefit.
1. Conflicts of Interest. Under certain circumstances, a contract or transaction between a nonprofit corporation and its director or an organization in which the director has a material financial interest is acceptable. However, if the transaction is challenged, the director will have the burden of establishing that the contract or transaction was fair and reasonable, that there was full disclosure of the conflict and that the contract or transaction was approved by members or other directors in good faith.
2. Written Policy. Boards should establish a written policy on avoiding conflicts of interest.
3. Loans. A nonprofit corporation may not lend money to a director or the director's family members unless the loan or guarantee may reasonably be expected, in the judgment of the entire board, to benefit the corporation.
4. Charitable Trust. In charitable trusts, transactions which otherwise might constitute a conflict of interest are permissible if the conflict was clearly contemplated and allowed by the original settlor of the trust.
5. Corporate Opportunity. Directors of business organizations are under a fiduciary obligation not to divert a corporate business opportunity for their personal gain. A director of a nonprofit corporation is also subject to this duty. This duty means that a director may not engage in or benefit from a business opportunity that is available to and suitable for the corporation unless the corporation decides not to engage in the business opportunity and conflicts of interest procedures are followed.
6. Internal Revenue Code. Other prohibitions relating to the duty of loyalty are specified in the rules of the Internal Revenue Code regarding self-dealing. These rules apply to private foundations.
Directors have a duty to follow the organization's governing documents (articles of incorporation and bylaws), to carry out the organization's mission and to assure that funds are used for lawful purposes. Also, directors must comply with state and federal laws that relate to the organization and the way in which it conducts its business.
1. State and Federal Statutes. Directors should be familiar with state and federal statutes and laws relating to nonprofit corporations, charitable solicitations, sales and use taxes, FICA and income tax withholding, and unemployment and workers' compensation obligations. They should also be familiar with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Service. Directors should see to it that their organization's status with state and federal agencies is protected.
2. Filing Requirements. Directors must comply with deadlines for tax and financial reporting, for registering with the Attorney General, for making social security payments, for income tax withholding, and so on. Additionally, if an organization is incorporated under the Minnesota Nonprofit Corporation Act, its directors have a duty to maintain its corporate status by submitting timely filings to the Secretary of State's Office.
3. Governing Documents. Directors should be familiar with their organization's governing documents and should follow the provisions of those documents. Directors should be sure proper notice is given for meetings, that regular meetings are held, that directors are properly appointed and that the organization's mission is being accomplished.
4. Outside Help. Where appropriate, directors should obtain opinions of legal counsel or accountants.

One of the most fascinating panels on the Macworld stage during last week's Macworld | iWorld expo in San Francisco was a conversion about "The State of Apple" among Macworld editor Jason Snell, Daring Fireball's John Gruber and Chicago Sun Times columnist Andy Ihnatko.
We've excerpted the part that interested us most: 5:40 about what happens to Apple (AAPL) without Steve Jobs at the helm.
Our favorite bit: Ihnatko on why more companies don't emulate Apple.
"When you try to copy Apple, it's like trying to copy an oak tree. You have to plant the seed and watch it grow then see what it came up with. You can't then just watch what it became, go to Home Depot, buy a whole bunch of lumber, paint and fake leaves, then build something. Because what you build is going to be half-assed and not an oak tree in any way, shape or form."

It might look like a common or garden 180bhp V4 Aprilia RSV4 Factory, but this special edition version (only 350 are being made, 50 to come to the UK) has moved road-going superbikes on as much as the BMW S1000RR did.

Harrison was let go not because he couldn't play, but because the Steelers put themselves in a massive cap jam, and couldn't risk that kind of money on a player Harrison's age, with the punishing style he plays, plus they felt they had a player who was good enough to play at a starting level (not at Harrison's level, necessarily), in Worilds, for a fraction of the cost.
Jones is light for a 3-4 OLB. Harrison was too, but with his short stature, he was built like a fireplug, and was massively powerful. Jones was also surprisingly slow at the combine.
Finally, add to that the fact that rookies simply don't come in and make an impact in the disciplined system the Steelers run. Harrison will not only have a better season, he will make more plays, more impact plays than any of his replacements.
Jones will see spot duty only, or injury-backup duty, so he had no real chance of equalling or exceeding Harrison's production.
Harrison didn't just "miss" three games last year, he was rehabbing from knee surgery that happened during training camp (not something catastrophic). In the last third of the season, he was looking more and more like the old James Harrison, and he was especially leaving a trail of bodies in run support.
I'm a Steeler fan to the core, but Harrison is/was a rare talent. He still has enough in the tank to outperform a rookie who's body isn't even ready for the NFL yet. There's a reason why most of the Steelers' OLBs have been converted DEs. It's very physical, and you have to take on tackles.
Harrison is going to be going from taking on the best linemen on teams (LTs), often with help from RBs and TEs, as well, to taking on TEs, primarily. Jones is going from taking on college linemen to taking on the best linemen NFL teams have.
No comparison. Burke needs to lay off the crack pipe.
