Wearable Electronics Market on Track to Exceed $8 Billion in 2013
LONDON, December 2, 2013 /PRNewswire/ –
The consumer wearable electronics segment – comprising wireless and smartwatches,
activity trackers, wearable GPS, heart rate monitors and smartglasses – is experiencing a
period of rapid growth with a forecast value of over $8 billion in 2013, according to the
latest research from Futuresource Consulting.
"Many wearable devices are currently companion devices to other smart devices, in
particular smartphones," says Oliver Rowntree, Research Analyst at Futuresource
Consulting. "It's likely this will largely remain the case over the forecast period."
"Fitness devices are by far the most mature market, making up 97% of the projected
value in 2013, though this will fall dramatically as smartwatch and smartglasses
categories develop and products ship with embedded sensors that track and analyse
movements and activity, cannibalising some the functionality of dedicated fitness
"The connected watch category will be the most significant growth area within wearable
technology over the forecast period and Futuresource projects a combined wireless watch
and smartwatch market of around 0.9 million units in 2013, with more than 60% of this
accounted for by smartwatches."
Smartwatch growth will be driven by new entrants into the market, both from CE
manufacturers – as companies such as Apple and LG move into smartwatches – and from watch
companies which will integrate smart features into their devices.
Smartglasses are the least established wearable category covered in this new report,
as no products are currently commercially available. Futuresource therefore anticipates
that the market for smartglasses will first emerge in 2014, when Google Glass will be
According to the research, Futuresource forecasts that in 2014 there will be less than
one million smartglasses sold, growing to almost seven million by 2017, with a total
retail value closing in on two billion dollars. This assumes the entrance into the market
of a large number of key CE brands by 2015, though uptake will initially be limited to a
fairly niche, tech-savvy portion of consumers.
"One significant question with smartglasses is the degree of autonomy the devices will
have – whether they will be devices that are paired with another or whether they will be
standalone," says Rowntree. "Furthermore, unless wearable devices develop to fulfil much
of the function of other devices such as smartphones, uptake will be more limited in
emerging markets. As with specialist fitness wearables, without the functionality of
smartphones they are relatively niche luxury products."
Looking at the bigger picture, the wearable electronics segment will continue to
expand as consumer awareness and acceptance take hold, and Futuresource research pegs the
market at a value of around $20 billion by 2017.

Scorcher is a Marvel Comics supervillain.
Fiction character biography[edit]
Steven Hudak was a research chemist who was wrongfully accused of embezzlement by his employer. Swearing revenge, he created an armored suit containing flame-throwing equipment and taking the name "The Scorcher" he attacked his former place of employment.
He ran afoul of Spider-Man on one of his first outings, and being defeated by the hero, he was sent to prison. Later it was revealed that The Scorcher was not working alone but was an agent of Norman Osborn (who would later become the Green Goblin). Hudak eventually escaped prison to pursue an arson career but was defeated by Spider-Man a second time.[1]
He once attacked Christmas shoppers, only to be stopped by Ben Reilly who was acting as Spider-Man at the time (Ben noting that encountering the Scorcher after so long left him feeling particularly old).[2] Later, the second Crimson Cowl recruited Scorcher to join her incarnation of the Masters of Evil.[3]
When Matt Murdock's identity as Daredevil was revealed, he and Diamondback II moved to confront Murdock, but were driven off by Daredevil and Spider-Man. The Scorcher encountered Daredevil again in the Secret War series when he was forced by Lucia von Bardas to band together with other supervillains and attack S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters which was defended by a dozen of New York's superheroes including Daredevil. Daredevil was instrumental in the criminal's personal defeat. Soon afterwards, Hudak promised his ex-wife he would give up his criminal life soon.
The Savage Land Mutates tried hiring the Scorcher to break Sauron out of jail, but he refused. They weren't aware that Scorcher, trying to stay on the straight and narrow path after the Secret War, notified Wolverine about this contact (Due to the Avengers having recently disbanded).[4] However, after some time Scorcher returned to the criminal life, but he was defeated by the She-Hulk.[5]
During the Secret Invasion storyline, Scorcher appears as member of Hood's crime syndicate and attacked a Skrull force.[6]
During the Dark Reign storyline, Scorcher, Living Laser, Griffin, and Razor Fist are sent by the Hood to retrieve Tigra and Gauntlet after they flee from Norman Osborn. They attack the heroes, who are ultimately saved by Counter Force.[7] Scorcher was with the Hood during his gang war with Mister Negative.[8]
Scorcher is seen to be among the new recruits for Camp HAMMER.[9] He was sent to take back the Negative Zone based prison and apprehend rogue team the Heavy Hitters.[10] Later, he and several of his villainous teammates are deemed failures by Norman Osborn and the group's Drill Instructor Taskmaster.[11]
During the Spider-Island storyline, Scorcher (alongside Chance and White Rabbit) is seen guarding an abandoned lab at Empire University when Peter Parker and Carlie Cooper arrive. He ends up knocked down by Peter Parker using the moves he learned from Shang-Chi.[12]
Powers and abilities[edit]
The Scorcher's powers derive from his flame-throwing equipment, which provides him the ability to produce large quantities of fire under his control. His costume provides him with protection against heat and flame as well as conventional forms of injury. Later, he added a jet pack to his armor, giving him the ability to fly and to hover in place.
In other media[edit]
Video games[edit]
- Scorcher appears as a mini-boss in Marvel: Ultimate Alliance 2, voiced by Keith Ferguson.[13] He and Wizard fight the heroes at the castle gates of Lucia von Bardas's castle. In the PSP, PS2, and Wii versions, Scorcher attacks the heroes at the portal leading out of the Negative Zone Prison alongside Electro, Grey Gargoyle, and Lizard. In the Wii and PSP versions, he is first fought as the first boss in Latveria as well as being the boss of Cyclops' bonus mission on the PSP version.

The University of Michigan
Measurements of the concentrations of rare gases and trace elements
in oceanic basalts have provided new information concerning the structure
of the Earth's mantle and its evolution. This review is based principally
on papers by Allegre, Staudacher, Sarda, O'Nions, Oxburgh, and Jacobsen.
Approximately 35% of the mantle lost more than 99% of its rare gas
content in the first 100 million years of solar system history. A comparable
volume of the mantle has also been depleted in radioactive and other
large ion lithophile elements, the depleted elements being concentrated in
continental crust. But depletion was a much slower process than degassing.
The average age of continental crust is 1.8 billion years, but the average age
of the rare gas atmosphere is 4.4 billion years. There has been very little
mixing of material between the degassed and depleted portion (presumably
the upper mantle) and the undegassed and relatively undepleted portion
(presumably the lower mantle).
Gas fluxes from the mantle indicate that degassing today is inefficient,
affecting only the top few hundred meters of oceanic crust. It is not likely
that sea floor spreading processes like those now operating could have
degassed the entire upper mantle within a 100 million years, even given
large initial heat fluxes. At the same time, it is not likely that sea floor
spreading processes could have dissipated the initial heat of a nearly molten
Earth. Lava flooding could have removed initial heat efficiently and at the
same time degassed the upper mantle rapidly.
Rare gases do not make an atmosphere, of course. There is new
information concerning the release of carbon dioxide from the mantle. As
OCR for page 191
pointed out most forcefully by Marty and Jambon, the exogenic system
(atmosphere, ocean, and sedimentary rocks) is deficient in carbon by a
factor of 100 relative to rare gases when present amounts are compared
with present fluxes from the mantle. It appears that carbon dioxide did
not participate in the initial rapid degassing that released rare gases from
the upper mantle. Instead, carbon has been modestly concentrated into
the continental crust like other incompatible, but not atmophile, elements.
Less than 10% of upper mantle carbon has been transferred to the crust,
and the total mantle amount may be 40 times the amount in the exogenic
Important new information has become available in recent years con-
cerning the release of gases from the interior of the Earth. The most fruitful
source of information has been the measurement of rare gas concentrations
in sea floor basalts. The results set important constraints that need to be
incorporated into any comprehensive understanding of the early history
of the planets. In my review here, I will describe some of the highlights
of these results and give an indication of how they are derived. I cannot
provide a complete description of all of the evidence that is used to reach
the conclusions presented.
Measurements on sea floor basalts have provided clear indications of
two major reservoirs within the mantle. The larger reservoir, constituting
about 65% of the mantle, is undegassed and relatively undepleted in
incompatible elements. The remaining 35% of the mantle was degassed
very early in Earth history (within 100 million years of the beginning), and
more than 99% of the initial gas content of this reservoir was released.
Throughout the whole of Earth history there has been very little mixing
between these reservoirs (O'Nions 1987; Anderson 1989~.
These conclusions are based on measurements of the concentrations in
sea floor basalts of the radioactive parent elements shown in Figure 1, along
with their radiogenic daughter isotopes and non-radiogenic cousin isotopes
also shown in the figure (Allegre e' al. 1983~. The important feature of
these isotope systems is that the ratio of daughter/cousin increases through
time as a result of the radioactive decay of the parent, and that there are
no other processes that will cause the ratio of daughter/cousin to change
because they are chemically and physically almost identical.
Figure 2 shows how the ratio of daughter/cousin, called ALPHA,
increases at a rate that depends on the ratio of parent/cousin, called MU.

The solid line in the top panel of the figure shows the evolution of the
amount of radiogenic 40Ar resulting from the decay of radioactive 40K
The bottom panel shows the evolution of the ratio of 40Ar/36Ar, ALPHA
The effect of a degassing episode fairly early in Earth history is indicated
by the left hand arrow labeled Degas 50%. The degassing episode reduces
the concentration of 40Ar by a factor of two, as shown in the top panel.
Because 36Ar concentration is also reduced by a factor of two there is
initially no change in ALPHA The rate of increase of ALPHA with time
is larger after the degassing episode, however, because there is less 36Ar
in the denominator of the ALPHA ratio. This evolution is shown by the
dashed line in the figure. The effect of a second degassing event at -1 billion
years is also shown in the figure. The impact of the second degassing event
on the evolution of ALPHA is smaller because, later in Earth history,
there is less radioactive 40K left to decay. Thus, early degassing leads to
large increases in ALPHA; late degassing has a smaller effect. The event
in the middle of Figure 2 shows the effect of a depletion by 50% in the
concentration of radioactive 40K Depletion reduces the rate of increase
of ALPHA in the manner indicated by the dashed line. In this way it is
possible to deduce the history of MU from measurements of ALPHA
The basic data concerning mantle degassing appear in Figure 3. They
are ALPHA values measured for He, Ar, and Xe in mid-ocean ridge
basalts and in ocean island basalts. The mid-ocean ridge basalts appear to
sample the upper mantle, whereas the ocean island basalts are assumed

to sample plumes of material rising from the lower mantle. There is a
range of compositions of ocean island basalts representing various degrees
of mixing between lower mantle material and upper mantle material. As
representative of the least contaminated material I show results for Loihi
sea mount in Hawaii. The point is that ALPHA is larger in MORB than in
Loihi material, which indicates that MORB material is more degassed. The
enhancement in ALPHA has been large for He and Ar. From data such
as these it is now possible to derive important results concerning mantle
First, the bulk Earth concentration of K gives the 40AT concentration in
undegassed mantle material. The ALPHA value observed in Loihi basalts
gives the 36Ar concentration in undegassed mantle material. The mass of
36Ar in the atmosphere then gives the mass of the mantle that has been
degassed. From a comprehensive study of rare gas isotope systematics
Allegre et al. (1987) deduce that 46% of the mantle has been degassed.
To increase the ALPHA value of Ar from the Loihi value to the MORB
value it is necessary that no more than 390/25000 = 1.6% of the initial 36Ar
complement be retained in degassed mantle material. This value would
apply in the case of early degassing from undepleted material. Delayed
degassing or prior depletion of 40K would reduce the permitted degree of

retention. The conclusion is that degassing has been very thorough indeed.
At the same time, because the difference between ALPHA values in Loihi
and MORB is so great, it is possible to conclude that just 2% contamination
of MORB material by Loihi material would reduce the ALPHA value of
the degassed mantle by a factor of two. There is therefore evidence for
strong isolation of the mantle reservoirs from one another.
The increase in the ALPHA value for Xe between Loihi and MORB,
although modest, demonstrates that degassing took place very early in
Earth history. For ALPHA to have changed, degassing must have occurred
before all of the parent i29I had decayed away. But the half life of t29I
is only 17 million years. Therefore, the division of the mantle into two
reservoirs, the very thorough degassing of one of these reservoirs, and the
nearly total isolation of the two reservoirs all took place very early in Earth
history. At this time it is not clear to me how to reconcile these surprising
conclusions with our current understanding of the growth of the Earth by
planetesimal impact, in which planetesimals were vaporized and degassed,
at least during the later stages of accretion. Neither is it clear how to
reconcile with these data the current thinking concerning the formation
of the Moon by a giant impact event occurring near the end of Earth
OCR for page 191
accretion. It appears likely that such an impact would have completely
remixed and homogenized the mantle. On the other hand, it is not clear
that such an impact event would have led to complete degassing of the
mantle or to complete removal from the Earth of any atmosphere released
during the course of previous accretion. Also unclear is what physical
process causes the separation of the mantle into two distinct reservoirs. In
my further analysis I shall assume that degassing of the upper mantle was
a consequence of mantle convection, possibly driven by accretional energy,
but that most of the impacts, and in particular the giant Moon-forming
impact had already occurred before the processes that brought about the
presently observable state had begun.
In this interpretation then, degassing should be related to continental
growth and the depletion of the upper mantle in incompatible elements.
Studies of continental growth and depletion are based on precisely the same
kind of isotopic arguments as the studies of degassing already described.
The only difference in depletion is that the daughter and cousin isotopes
are concentrated in the continents instead of in the atmosphere. Analyses
of Sm-Nd, Lu-Hf, and Rb-Sr isotopes in sea floor basalts, summarized in
Figure 4, indicate that 30% of the mantle has been depleted to form the
continents (Jacobsen 1988~. The average age of the continents is 1.8 Ga.
Allegre e! al. (1983, 1988), in a similar analysis, conclude that 35% of the
mantle has been depleted while 47% of it has been degassed (Sarda et
al. 1985~. The average age of the rare gas atmosphere deduced in their
analysis is 4.4 Ga. My tentative conclusion is that the degassed and depleted
reservoirs are probably the same, but that degassing occurred much earlier
than depletion.
Fluxes of gases from the mantle to the atmosphere can be deduced
from the measured flux of 3He and the concentration ratios in sea floor
basalts. These fluxes lead to the very interesting conclusion that heat is
released much more readily from the mantle than are the rare gasses
(O'Nions and Oxburgh 1983; Oxburgh and O'Nions 1987~. Further it can
be argued that degassing today is inefficient. Processes now operating could
not have degassed the upper mantle rapidly and thoroughly. A comparison
of the fluxes of heat, helium, and argon is presented in Figure 5. The
sources are mainly concentrated in the lower mantle because the upper
mantle is depleted in radioactive incompatible elements. The heat flux
through the surface of the Earth exceeds the sum of upper and lower
mantle sources because the interior of the Earth is cooling down. This fact
is reflected in the Urey ratio of source/flux. For heat this ratio has a value
of about 0.6 (Pollack 19&0~. For 4He the Urey ratio is 6.8, indicating that

most radiogenic helium is retained within the Earth and that the flux from
mantle to atmosphere is much less than the production within the Earth.
However, the flux does exceed upper mantle production. Helium must be
flowing from the lower mantle to the upper mantle at a significant rate.
For 40Ar, on the other hand, the flux is less than the upper mantle source.
There is no evidence of flow from lower mantle to upper mantle; the Urey
ratio is 23, and 40Ar is accumulating even in the depleted upper mantle.
These observations provide strong support for the notion of a two-layer
convective structure in the mantle.
It is entirely reasonable to suppose that heat is more mobile than
helium which is in turn more mobile than argon. The argon flux from the
mantle is 6.2 x 106 molely. The 40Ar concentration in the upper mantle
is 3 x 10-~� mole/g. Therefore, the rate at which upper mantle material
is degassed, calculated from the ratio of these two numbers, is 2 x 10~6
g/y. Since the mass of the upper mantle (35% of the total mantle) is 1.4
X 1027 g, it would take 70 Ga to degas the upper mantle at this rate. But
the xenon isotope data indicate that the upper mantle was degassed in less
than .1 Ga. Therefore, the present rate of degassing is too slow to explain
the observations by a factor of 1000.
Furthermore, degassing today is inefficient, in the sense illustrated in

material. The degree of partial melting can be deduced from the con-
centrations of the completely incompatible element potassium. Potassium
concentration is enhanced in ocean crust by a factor of 10, more or less,
so we have approximately a 10% partial melt of 60 kilometers of upper
mantle material to produce six kilometers of ocean crust. About the same
increase by a factor of 10 can be expected in the concentration of 40Al,
also presumably a completely incompatible element. New ocean crust is
generated at the rate of 3 km2 per year. 1b produce the 40Ar degassing flux
of 6.2 x 106 mole per year it would be necessary to extract 40Ar from just
the top 250 meters of ocean crust. This extraction presumably occurs by in-
teraction between sea water and the ocean crust. The 40Ar does not diffuse
directly out of the crust or bubble out of the magma. It must be extracted
by leaching at relatively shallow depths in the crust. During the lifetime of
the sea floor before subduction, heat will be extracted from a lithospheric
layer approximately 60 kilometers thick, but Ar will be extracted only from
250 meters of ocean crust. This thickness of crust is equivalent, before
partial melting, to Z5 kilometers of upper mantle, so the release of Ar is
about 25 times less efficient than the release of heat. The flux data indicate
that radiogenic rare gases are accumulating in the mantle. The degassing
process now operating is inefficient and slow. It seems that the process
that originally degassed the upper mantle completely and rapidly must have
been markedly different from the process now operating.

~ what extent can the rare gas results be applied to more important
constituents of the atmosphere? It turns out that there is significant infor-
mation concerning carbon dioxide (Des Marais 1985; Marty and Jambon
1987~. The data and results are summarized in Figure 7. The flux of carbon
dioxide from mantle to atmosphere today is 2 x 10~2 mole per year. The
flux of 36Ar is 250 mole per year, so the ratio of the fluxes is 8 x 109.
On the other hand, the ratio of the amounts in atmosphere, ocean, and
continental crust is 1.8 x 106. The ratio of fluxes is very much larger than
the ratio of amounts now present in the surface layers of the Earth. Carbon
is missing from the surface layers relative to argon.
This conclusion can be seen also in the accumulation times calculated
by dividing the flux into the amount. Carbon would accumulate at present
rates in 5 x 109 years, but it would take 2.2 x 10~3 years for the 36AT now
in the atmosphere to accumulate at the present flux The conclusion is that
while 36Ar was massively degassed earlier in Earth history, carbon did not
participate in this early degassing. If carbon was rapidly released from the
mantle early in Earth history it was just as rapidly returned to the mantle.
Carrying this analysis further it can be concluded that carbon is a
lithophile and not an atmophile element. From the flux ratio of carbon to

FIGURE 7 Compared to argon, carbon is deficient in the crust and atmosphere.
36Ar and the concentration of 36Ar in the upper mantle we can calculate
the concentration of carbon in the upper mantle. The value is 1 x 10-4
mole/g. This calculation assumes that carbon is not more mobile than Ar,
surely a reasonable assumption. If carbon is less incompatible than Ar the
required upper mantle concentration of carbon would be larger. From the
concentration and the mass of the upper mantle I calculate that there are
1.4 x 1023 moles of carbon in the upper mantle. The amount in the crust
and atmosphere and ocean is only 1 x 1022 mole (Wilkinson and Walker
1989~. Therefore less than 10% of upper-mantle carbon has been degassed.
By way of contrast, more than 99% of upper mantle 36Ar has been degassed.
Continuing the analysis and assuming that the lower- mantle concentration
is given by the upper-mantle concentration augmented by crustal carbon
mixed back in, the total amount of carbon in the mantle is 4.2 x 1023
mole, which is 42 times the amount in crust, ocean, and atmosphere. It
seems that the fate of most carbon dioxide released from the mantle is
to be incorporated into oceanic crust in weathering reactions and to be
carried back into the mantle on subduction. Only a small fraction of the
carbon is captured in the exogenic system as cratonic carbonate rocks. The
average carbon concentration in continental crust is 5 x 104 mole/g. The
concentration in the upper mantle is 1 x 104 mole/g. Therefore, the crust
is only moderately enriched in carbon dioxide relative to the upper mantle
and, unlike the rare gases, carbon is a modestly incompatible element.
OCR for page 191
The rare gas data indicate that there was early, thorough degassing
of the upper mantle, but that there remain large amounts of primordial
rare gases in the undegassed, lower mantle reservoir. The time scales
and rates of degassing and depletion are very different. Depletion and
continental growth occurred much later in Earth history than degassing.
Degassing today, by weathering of the sea floor, is a slow and inefficient
process and could hardly have provided the rapid and total early degassing
that apparently occurred. Carbon dioxide did not degas like the rare
gasses and is only modestly incompatible in the upper mantle. With the
example of carbon dioxide in mind, we must be cautious about deducing
degassing histories of other important atmospheric gases like nitrogen or
water from the rare gas data. In the absence of relevant observations it is
not immediately clear whether other atmospheric gases have behaved more
like argon or more like carbon dioxide. By analogy with the Earth, it does
seem likely that large amounts of both rare gases and carbon dioxide may
be retained within the interiors of Mars and Venus. This possibility must be
kept in mind in the study of the origin of planetary atmospheres. I do not
feel that we yet have a satisfactory description even in qualitative terms of
the origin of the Earth and the atmosphere. The challenge is to reconcile
the ideas of planetary growth by accretion, impact degassing during the
course of accretion, the origin of the Moon by a giant impact, and the data
described in this paper concerning the degassing history of the mantle.

Structural Dynamics of the Actomyosin Complex Probed by a Bifunctional Spin Label that Cross-Links SH1 and SH2 Biophysical Journal, Volume 95, Issue 11, 1 December 2008, Pages 5238-5246 Andrew R. Thompson, Nariman Naber, Clyde Wilson, Roger Cooke and David D. Thomas Abstract We have used a bifunctional spin label (BSL) to cross-link Cys707 (SH1) and Cys697 (SH2) in the catalytic domain of myosin subfragment 1 (S1). BSL induces the same weakened ATPase activity and actin-binding affinity that is observed when SH1 and SH2 are cross-linked with pPDM, which traps an analog of the post-hydrolysis state A·M·ADP·P. Electron paramagnetic resonance showed that BSL reports the global orientation and dynamics of S1. When bound to actin in oriented muscle fibers in the absence of ATP, BSL-S1 showed almost complete orientational disorder, as reported previously for the weakly bound A·M·ADP. In contrast, helical order is observed for the strongly bound state A·M. Saturation transfer electron paramagnetic resonance showed that the disorder of cross-linked S1 on actin is nearly static on the microsecond timescale, at least 30 times slower than that of A·M·ADP. We conclude that cross-linked S1 exhibits rotational disorder comparable to that of A·M·ADP, slow rotational mobility comparable to that of A·M, and intermediate actin affinity. These results support the hypothesis that the catalytic domain of myosin is orientationally disordered on actin in a post-hydrolysis state in the early stages of force generation.

Calcium-Dependent Interaction Sites of Tropomyosin on Reconstituted Muscle Thin Filaments with Bound Myosin Heads as Studied by Site-Directed Spin-Labeling Biophysical Journal, Volume 105, Issue 10, 19 November 2013, Pages 2366-2373 Keisuke Ueda, Chieko Kimura-Sakiyama, Tomoki Aihara, Masao Miki and Toshiaki Arata Abstract To identify the interaction sites of Tm, we measured the rotational motion of a spin-label covalently bound to the side chain of a cysteine that was genetically incorporated into rabbit skeletal muscle tropomyosin (Tm) at positions 13, 36, 146, 160, 174, 190, 209, 230, 271, or 279. Most of the Tm residues were immobilized on actin filaments with myosin-S1 bound to them. The residues in the mid-portion of Tm, namely, 146, 174, 190, 209, and 230, were mobilized when the troponin (Tn) complex bound to the actin-Tm-S1 filaments. The addition of Ca2+ ions partially reversed the Tn-induced mobilization. In contrast, residues at the joint region of Tm, 13, 36, 271, and 279 were unchanged or oppositely changed. All of these changes were detected using a maleimide spin label and less obviously using a methanesulfonate label. These results indicated that Tm was fixed on thin filaments with myosin bound to them, although a small change in the flexibility of the side chains of Tm residues, presumably interfaced with Tn, actin and myosin, was induced by the binding of Tn and Ca2+. These findings suggest that even in the myosin-bound (open) state, Ca2+ may regulate actomyosin contractile properties via Tm. Abstract | Full Text | PDF (795 kb) |
The Conserved L5 Loop Establishes the Pre-Powerstroke Conformation of the Kinesin-5 Motor, Eg5 Biophysical Journal, Volume 98, Issue 11, 2 June 2010, Pages 2619-2627 Adam G. Larson, Nariman Naber, Roger Cooke, Edward Pate and Sarah E. Rice Abstract Kinesin superfamily motor proteins contain a structurally conserved loop near the ATP binding site, termed L5. The function of L5 is unknown, although several drug inhibitors of the mitotic kinesin Eg5 bind to L5. We used electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy (EPR) to investigate the function of L5 in Eg5. We site-specifically attached EPR probes to ADP, L5, and the neck linker element that docks along the enzymatic head to drive forward motility on microtubules (MTs). Nucleotide-dependent spectral mobility shifts occurred in all of these structural elements, suggesting that they undergo coupled conformational changes. These spectral shifts were altered by deletion of L5 or addition of S-trityl-l-cysteine (STLC), an allosteric inhibitor that binds to L5. In particular, EPR probes attached to the neck linker of MT-bound Eg5 shifted to a more immobilized component in the nucleotide-free state relative to the ADP-bound state, consistent with the neck linker docking upon ADP release. In contrast, after L5 deletion or STLC addition, EPR spectra were highly immobilized in all nucleotide states. We conclude that L5 undergoes a conformational change that enables Eg5 to bind to MTs in a pre-powerstroke state. Deletion or inhibition of L5 with the small-molecule inhibitor STLC blocks this pre-powerstroke state, forcing the Eg5 neck linker to dock regardless of the nucleotide state.

Department of Biochemistry, University of Minnesota Medical School, Minneapolis 55455.
Previous studies on spin-labeled F-actin (MSL-actin), using saturation transfer electron paramagnetic resonance (ST-EPR), have demonstrated that actin has submillisecond rotational flexibility and that this flexibility is affected by the binding of myosin and its subfragments. This rotational flexibility does not change during the active interaction of myosin heads, actin, and adenosine triphosphate. However, these ST-EPR studies, performed on randomly oriented actin, would not be sensitive to orientational changes on the millisecond time scale or slower. In the present study, we have clarified these results by performing conventional EPR experiments on MSL-actin oriented by flow to detect changes in the orientational distribution. We have determined the orientational distribution of the spin labels relative to the magnetic field (flow direction) by comparing experimental EPR spectra to simulated EPR spectra corresponding to known orientational distributions. Spectra acquired during flow indicate two populations of probes: a highly ordered population and a disordered population. For the ordered population (28% of the total spin concentration), the angle between the actin filament axis and the nitroxide z axis (theta) fits a Gaussian distribution centered at 32.0 +/- 0.9 degrees, with a full width at half maximum of 20.7 +/- 3.9 degrees. The angle between the nitroxide x axis and the projection of the field in the xy plane (phi) is centered at 37.5 +/- 9.2 degrees with a full width of 24.9 +/- 10.7 degrees. This orientational distribution is not significantly changed upon the binding of phalloidin or myosin subfragment 1 (S1), indicating that these proteins do not affect the axial orientation of actin subunits. Spectra of spin-labeled S1 (MSL-S1) bound to actin oriented by flow have about the same orientational distribution as MSL-S1 bound to actin in oriented fibers. Thus, the oriented fraction of flow-oriented actin filaments has nearly the same high degree of alignment as the actin filaments in muscle fibers.

Theyre talking about Madelyn Sheaffers bikini all the way in Australia this week after she got kicked out of Adventure Oasis Water Park in Independence reportedly because her swimsuit bottoms were too small.
Breaking News
Independence womans bikini issue at Adventure Oasis going viral
July 5
By LISA GUTIERREZ
The Kansas City Star
KSHB-TV broke the story of how Sheaffer, 43, was in the pool with her niece and nephew on Tuesday when two teenage employees told her to put on shorts.
Cover up or leave the park, a supervisor reportedly told her.
According to the TV station, Sheaffer recently lost 100 pounds and had just started wearing a bikini.
I just felt like I was singled out, she told KSHB. I felt like it was both age and body discrimination and I felt like I could look around me and I could see a handful of other girls half my age, wearing the same size swimming suit and not being singled out and told to put on clothes or leave.
She asked the water park folks to call the police so she could file a complaint.
On her Facebook page she wrote how the police who responded seemed to sympathize with her.
We can't actually say anything, they said as we walked outside, (as it is a city owned park), ..but I hope from the expressions on our face you can tell how we feel. They were compassionate. They too, thought it was ridiculous, she wrote.
City officials left the decision up to the water park. Many commenters on web sites and blogs from England to Australia that are reporting the story believe the water park was out of line in its request.
If they were trying to be family oriented and required everyone to wear one-piece suits and long trunks (no bikinis, no speedos). But since they apparently don't, I say shame on them for ruining this familys day. wrote one commenter.

2014 SONWA Winner: Author Craig ChildsJan 30, 2014 Location Information The 2013 Sigurd Olson Nature Writing Award (SONWA) recipient, Craig Childs, will accept his award and give a public presentation on his winning book, Apocalyptic Planet, Field Guide to the Everending Earth at the Sigurd Olson Environmental Institute Thurs., Jan. 30 at 7 p.m. Chosen from 56 submissions, "Apocalyptic Planet," recounts Childs' field trips to nine different global locations currently experiencing the same major environmental disruptions that occurred during periods of mass extinctions—places that Childs describes as "the most desolate, phenomenal and downright strange parts of the world."
"Childs' uninhibited stories about how the earth has died and been reborn thousands of times during its evolution was so innovative and unpredictable that it opened our eyes to the natural world in ways we never imagined," said Lissa Radke, who served on the SONWA Committee. This is Childs' second SONWA — in 2008, he took the prize for his book, "The Animal Dialogues: Uncommon Encounters in the Wild."

Record rains in February gave the Macon Water Authority its first real opportunity to test whether almost $15 million in sewer system improvements have paid off in reduced sewage spills.
The answer seemed to be yes: Areas that had seen millions of gallons spilled in the past had no spills even after nearly 13 inches of rain fell in February.
But 33 spills, including eight major spills of more than 10,000 gallons, happened at other locations during the month. Many of these were repeat spills into Lake Tobesofkee, with a dozen spills from three manholes in backyards next to the lake in the Glen Echo subdivision.
That has been frustrating for homeowners such as Dale Sprinkle, whose house overlooks the manholes.
Its unfortunate and Im not happy about it, but I dont guess I can complain, he said. They seem to be doing what they can.
He said authority employees have checked the area multiple times a day and put lime on the areas where sewage has spilled.
But its been running a lot of pure sewage into the lake, he said.
The area that drains to Lake Tobesofkee has received an estimated 94,625 gallons of spilled sewage so far this year.
Authority Director Tony Rojas said these spills tell the authority that where we went next to analyze our system was the right spot, noting that the authority has been proactive in dealing with the problem.
The authority paid a contractor $1.3 million last year to check manholes and use closed-circuit cameras to study sewer lines in the Lake Tobesofkee drainage area. The effort, completed in October, involved looking for pipe breaks that might be allowing rain water to infiltrate and overwhelm the lines, causing spills.
Michel Wanna, the authoritys field operations director, said this section of the authoritys system has a lot of broken manholes and old clay and concrete pipe, materials that are no longer used for sewer lines.
The authority expects to bid a contract within two to three months for about $2 million worth of work to fix the problems that were found.
Rojas said those funds may not cover all the problems identified. But the authority has committed to $8 million in sewer improvements from a bond sale.
The authority made the Lake Tobesofkee area a priority because of the potential for public exposure to the sewage, said Ray Shell, the authoritys assistant director.
Improvements pay off
The authority has done similar work in other parts of its system that had seen even bigger spills, with positive results that were essentially confirmed for the first time in recent weeks. Among them:
Similar find and fix programs for sewer lines in the Corbin Avenue/Sabbath Creek drainage basin for $2 million and the Echeconnee Creek drainage basin for $1.2 million.
A new $4.8 million sewer line leading from the Lennox pump station, whose innovative design won an award from the Georgia Engineering Alliance. Before the new pipe was installed, the area had seen 15 major spills over three years.
The overhaul of the Allen Road pump station for $1.7 million and the addition of a second sewer line and pump station at Allen Road for $5.2 million. More than 2.7 million gallons had spilled in the area even as additional flow was being added from Byron.
The projects were all part of a 2010 consent order with the Georgia Environmental Protection Division. The order acknowledged that the authority had already planned the new projects, but the authority agreed to a timeline for completing them, as well as a fine of $81,400 for 18 sewage spills totaling more than 30,000 gallons each between September 2009 and March 2010.
Three of the five projects in the consent order were finished ahead of schedule. The final one, the Echeconnee improvements, was supposed to be completed last summer and was finished last week, Rojas said. He said the authority kept the EPD informed about the delays, and EPD was satisfied with the authoritys progress.
Emily Wingo, who oversees larger waste water utilities south of Atlanta for the EPD, said the authority has pretty much complied with the order. When it comes to the recent spills, she said EPD is still collecting information on spills statewide in the wake of Februarys heavy rains.
National attention
The Allen Road project was especially complex because it involved running almost a mile of pipe underneath the swamp south of Macon.
The original pipe in the area, laid in 1977, was put in by clearing a swath of the swamp and building a road through it before burying the pipe.
But this time the authority hired a contractor to lay a wire by hand across the wetland before using a drill to create a hole for the pipe. The pipes joints were fused together before 1,000-foot sections were pulled through the hole with a cable, as deep as 50 feet below the surface, Shell said.
We garnered national attention for that because of the length and size of the pipe, said Shell, who presented a paper about it at a recent American Society of Civil Engineers conference. He also credited the Macon engineering firm Carter & Sloope for the design.
Rojas said the method didnt disturb the wetland and was cheaper than burying the pipe, because current regulations would have required the authority to preserve or create wetlands elsewhere to make up for the damage.
Bob Hargrove, whose wetland property had been deluged with previous sewage spills near the Allen Road pump station, praised the quality of the authoritys work there.
The new line was laid with a minimum of environmental damage, and it has been effective in pumping the sewage to (the) plant without any spills since construction, he wrote in an e-mail.
Next steps
Last year, the amount of sewage escaping to state waters from authority sewers plummeted, although Rojas acknowledged that the drought probably contributed to the extent of the drop. The previous two years had each been record-setting: In 2010, 18 million gallons of sewage contaminated local lakes, streams and rivers from the authoritys system; in 2011, the amount climbed to 22 million gallons. But in 2012 just 70,875 gallons of sewage escaped into waterways, and only two of the spills were considered major.
Spill totals for just the first two months of 2013 have already far outstripped that. Besides the repeat Tobesofkee spills, three spills were caused by a contractors bypass pumps being overwhelmed by the flow of sewage during heavy rains, and three happened at the North OHara lift station.
The parking lot of Virginia College saw two major spills totalling 152,065 gallons, which drained to Rocky Creek.
The manhole there is only 3 feet above the sewer pipe and may have to be raised as a temporary fix, but in the long term the authority must investigate sewer lines to the north to figure out where the stormwater is getting in, Rojas said. Some work has already been done on sewer lines near the State Farmers Market, where a pipe collapsed under Oglesby Place in 2011.
Some of the spills occurred at manholes that were close together and could have been counted as a single, larger spill, Shell acknowledged. That would have meant the authority had a smaller total number of spills, but more major spills, which can trigger EPD fines.
Shell said the authority wasnt trying to avoid the penalties. The authority chose to count the spills separately at each manhole for accuracy, he said.

PORT ST. LUCIE — Liberty Medical Supply Inc. and Arriva Medical LLC are working through bankruptcy court to find a speedy resolution to a dispute between the companies.
Alere Inc., the parent company for Arriva, lent Liberty Medical $40 million, including $10 million for working capital, in December so Liberty Medical's management could buy out the Port St. Lucie-based company from pharmacy benefit giant Express Scripts, according to filings in bankruptcy court.
The deal happened, but Liberty Medical filed for bankruptcy on Feb. 15 in part because of a dispute with the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services and also because of a tax liability dispute with Express Scripts. The company announced in December plans to lay off 250 employees, though the company President and CEO Frank Harvey said the number has been lowered.
The company also made temporary pay cuts in January, according to a letter filed by Harvey in bankruptcy court.
In exchange for the loan, Alere claims in a letter filed in bankruptcy court by Arriva President David Wallace that Liberty promised to sell Alere parts of the company connected with Liberty Medical's mail-order diabetes business.
Liberty Medical no longer will be able to sell diabetic testing supplies to Medicare-eligible patients beginning July 1. Such products were competitively bid by Medicare, which made the products less profitable for private companies. Liberty Medical lost the bid.
When Liberty Medical announced its plans for layoffs, Harvey said the Medicare reimbursement cuts made those products unprofitable, and so the company decided to shift its focus elsewhere.
But Arriva did win a bid, and so the company still has interest in acquiring Liberty Medical's assets, according to Wallace's letter. The company has made plans to hire or engage more than 500 people for the transition. Arriva, however, has concerns that Liberty Medical customers are dropping off and that the assets will be devalued if the deal is not concluded in a timely manner.
Liberty Medical has gone from about 640,000 patients for such services in December to 543,000 by mid February, according to Wallace's assertions in bankruptcy filings.
But Liberty Medical does not agree with Arriva's understanding of the terms of the loan, and has claimed in a bankruptcy filing that Alere's request was over reaching and included assets that were not part of the agreement.
Harvey, though, said he believes the matter can be resolved.
"I think we can work through the issues with Arriva during the next few weeks to a month," Harvey said. "We certainly don't agree with a lot of what's in the letter, but I wasn't surprised by it. They're staking out their position. We're filing to stake out ours, so it's part of business."
Harvey said he expects another filing in response to Wallace's letter to be made soon. The response had not been posted as of early Tuesday. Harvey said he is not deterred by Arriva's letter.
"We're moving along smoothly," Harvey said. "I'm very pleased with the progress that our team is making and the progress that the company's making."

Neato: Human Bodies Produce Visible Light
Thats right folks, the human body actually produces visible light -- and not just if you live under power lines! Unfortunately, it's not visible to us because it's 1,000 times weaker than our eyes can detect.
The human body literally glows, emitting a visible light in extremely small quantities at levels that rise and fall with the day, scientists now reveal.
In fact, virtually all living creatures emit very weak light, which is thought to be a byproduct of biochemical reactions involving free radicals.The researchers found the body glow rose and fell over the day, with its lowest point at 10 a.m. and its peak at 4 p.m., dropping gradually after that. These findings suggest there is light emission linked to our body clocks, most likely due to how our metabolic rhythms fluctuate over the course of the day.
Oh man, I remember the first time I glowed. It was right after I made out with the Hulk a hot young lady. Kidding, it was a nuclear reactor. What do you say -- uranium rod me one more time for old time's sake? Think about it.

Bremerton man finds knife under Warren Avenue Bridge, asks officer if he can keep it
A Bremerton man reported finding a knife under the Warren Avenue Bridge Sept. 17 and asked the officer if he could keep it if no one claimed it.
The 35-year-old man reported at about 12:03 p.m. that he found a fixed blade hunting knife and leather sheath while cleaning the area under the bridge with a church group.
The man asked if he could keep the knife if no one claimed it and the officer, not sure of the policy, gave the man the case number for the report. The knife and sheath were placed in the Bremerton Police Department's property room as found property.

ZendCon Sessions Episode 037: Why MVC is not an Application Architecture
Note: This article was originally published at Zend Developer Zone
on 11 February 2011.
Why MVC is not an application architecture and how this should affect your code. Pretty much every PHP framework is based on MVC . We will explore what MVC was originally meant to be and how it is used (and abused) in web applications these days. We will find out where the model hides, and how to organize an application's business logic and clearly separate concerns. As a bonus, unit testing will become a lot easier.

French philosopher and theologian known as the originator of an extreme form of nominalism holding that universals are nothing more than verbal expressions. His only extant work seems to be a letter to the French philosopher Peter Abelard, who studied under him at Besancon; the little that is otherwise known of Roscelin's doctrines is derived from the works of St. Anselm and of Abelard and from the anonymous work De generibus et speciebus ("Of Generals and Specifics"). Roscelin retracted his doctrine on the Trinity, namely that it consisted of three separate persons in God, when it was declared heretical by the Council of Soissons in 1092.

Last week, we noted that the official player ratings for the NBA 2K11 videogame were rather uncharitable to Orlando Magic center Dwight Howard, who tied Brandon Roy and Joe Johnson for the tenth-best overall rating in the game. A gamer named Rashidi, who bills himself as "the Real 2K Insider," has posted his adjusted ratings for the game. And Howard fares far better here.
Here's where the league's top players stand in Rashidi's rankings:
Overall Rank |
Player | Team | Rating |
1 | LeBron James | Heat | 95 |
2 | Dwyane Wade | 94 | |
3 | Dwight Howard | Magic | 92 |
T-4 | Kobe Bryant | Lakers | 91 |
Chris Paul | Hornets | ||
T-6 | Kevin Durant | Thunder | 89 |
Deron Williams | Jazz | ||
8 | Tim Duncan | Spurs | 87 |
T-9 | Chris Bosh | Heat | 86 |
Brandon Roy | Trail Blazers |
Here, Howard far-and-away exceeds the league's other big men, besting Tim Duncan by five points. To see an interior player with such flaws in some key statistical categories--turnovers and free-throw percentage among them--so high on the list speaks to the premium Rashidi places on defense and rebounding, which are Howard's strengths.
The news isn't quite as good for some other Magic players. Rashidi's list costs Vince Carter three points (from 81 to 78) and Rashard Lewis four (76 to 72); however, Jameer Nelson gets a three-point boost (75 to 78). Interestingly, backup center Marcin Gortat (73) ranks behind only Howard, Carter, and Nelson on the team, again attesting to the value of defense and rebounding under this system.
A helpful, anonymous commenter at Rashidi's site points out that Nelson ranks as the 16th-best point guard, Carter as the 9th-best shooting guard, and Lewis the 34th-best power forward.
Clearly, the Magic have more on their mind than videogame ratings. But it is interesting to see how some gamers assess their skills, especially in relation to how they perform in real life. I am curious to see whether shifting Lewis' primary position from power forward to small forward in the videogame, as may be the case in real life, affects his rating.
Which rankings seem most fair or accurate to you: the stock 2K Sports set included in the game or Rashidi's custom set?

Beautiful Labels
Classic New York Address Labels I loved the labels. I thought it added the extra touch to our invitations.
Great Labels
Classic New York Address Labels Perfect size, great quality, and excellent price. Would definitely recommend them over and over again.
Great Multipurpose labels
Oui, Oui Paris! Address Labels I ordered these for my wedding invitations to use as return address labels (which is their intended use). To maintain the theme I also reordered them to use as labels for the wedding favors. I love that you can personalize so much (wording, font, colors) on most everything offered through Magnet Street to really make it your own. Additionally I forgot to add these labels onto my order which included programs, menus, and table cards. The customer service department is great, let me add these labels onto the order and also offered my 25% off coupon which I found after I'd placed the original order. Love this company so much and will use them in future!
