I need help fast!
OkI made the wrong choice by getting back together with my ex-boyfriend. Now I'm wanting to break up with him we have only been dating for 2 days and so far it's been horrible. I have no clue how to break up with him and what to say when I do the only kind of communicate I have with him is through texting so I can't call him or anything. I'm stupid for saying yes when he asked me out cause I though he would have already broke up with me by now.He told me he really liked me and wanted us to last but I wanna break up with him but how do I tell him? btw I'm 14

Facilitating achievement by social capital in Japan
Social capital, as a comprehensive concept, comprises structural components representing social networks and functional components, which register past and future help, reciprocity, and trust. One assumption is that these various components interact and reinforce one another to enhance an individual's expected achievement. To validate the conceptualization and examine the consequences of social capital, the present study analyzed a set of data collected from 201 residents based in Japan. The results demonstrated that conceptualization proves to be valid in view of its adequacy in internal consistency and stability in the confirmatory factor model. The structural equation modeling likewise revealed contributions of the social capital components both individually and interactively. Notably, the Japanese respondents expected greater achievement with higher levels of both structural social capital and anticipatory functional social capital, which consequently tapped expected help, trust, and reciprocity. Structural social capital appeared to be a basis for functional social capital.Download Info

New technology: Hannover Fair 60th anniversary
In human years or trade show years, 60 adds ups to a significant milestone. That point was reached on April 16, 2007, as the 60th annual of Hannover Industrial Fair opened for a five-day run. This "world meeting place for industry and business" is the single biggest showcase of new technology for manufacturing and automation in the world.
Hannover, Germany —In human years or trade show years, 60 adds ups to a significant milestone. That point was reached on April 16, 2007, as the 60th annual of Hannover Industrial Fair opened for a five-day run. This "world meeting place for industry and business" is the single biggest showcase of new technology for manufacturing and automation in the world. And its history is as interesting as its technology is useful.
Hannover Fair is actually 12 international trade shows in one. More than 230,000 visitors attended the 5-day event, up more than 10% on the last directly comparable year, 2005. Visitors from abroad represented around 30% of total attendance, with the biggest increases in foreign participation coming from the Americas and Eastern Europe.
The fair arose from the ashes and ravages of World War II, promoted by the Allies to help revitalize life and industry in what then was West Germany. Cold War issues also were in play to establish such an event. This area was in the British zone of occupation following the war, and the Military Government actually "ordered" that the fair take place. The city of Hannover took on the task, and the first post-war German "industrial" fair — then called the Export Fair — opened in August 1947. Response was overwhelmingly positive, with many thousand attendees housed in various facilities, dormitory-style.
Today Hannover Fair is truly a global event. More than half of this year's 6,400 exhibitors come from outside Germany — the highest figure in the fair's 60-year history. Of the 12 named trade shows that made up Hannover Fair 2007, four are of special importance to Control Engineering:
• Factory Automation presents developments in the manufacturing and production side of overall industrial automation. Industrial robots, the latest in assembly/material handling methods, wireless technology, and industrial identification systems were among the hot display topics for 2007.
• Motion, Drive & Automation presents the world of power transmission and control that ranges widely over electric, hydraulic, and pneumatic technologies. A large variety of motors, drives, controllers, mechanical (gear) transmissions, hydraulic/pneumatic actuators and power systems make up this show sector.
• Interkama+ adds the vital element of process automation to the total scope of industrial automation. Exhibits here include instrumentation, a gamut of sensors, systems, services, and maintenance aspects of process control — as well as various associated fieldbus systems.
• Digital Factory focuses on software and IT solutions for industrial applications. Important exhibit themes here include product lifecycle management (PLM) and manufacturing execution systems (MES), to which IT-based services has recently been added.
• Other areas of interest include energy, pipeline technology, microtechnology, and research and development projects in search of commercial partners.
Over the years, Hannover Fair has been a microcosm of the "economic miracle" that has propelled Germany to a leading role among industrialized nations. Hannover Fair 2007 was declared open by Chancellor Angela Merkel during a formal opening ceremony that has become a fair tradition. Merkel remarked on the fair's historical significance, noting that it is older than the Federal Republic of Germany itself. She spoke at length on worldwide and local issues, such as environmental protection, the need for energy efficiency, continued education of mature workers, and how to impassion young people about technology careers.
The next Hannover Fair will take place from Monday, April 21, to Friday, April 25, 2008, and the partner country will be Japan. According to a spokesperson, "the foundation for this partnership was laid at the highest political levels in January this year, at discussions in Berlin between German Chancellor Dr. Angela Merkel and Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe."

SENIOR HURLING: Borris Senior hurlers played Ballyhale in the Leinster 'A' Vocational Schools Championship on Tuesday 27th November.
After heavy rain on the previous day, conditions were very slippery underfoot for both teams. The opening half was a tough , hard fought game ,with both teams showing exceptional individual performances. B.V.S' half back line work rate was very good with centre back Diarmuid Byrne leading the way, however Ballyhale's half back line were equally strong. This proved inself in Borris forwards finding it hard to get scores. However when the scores came they looked very impressive,with a first half score line of 1-8 to 1-4 Borris were just ahead.Scores came from Michael O'Grady ,Martin Kavanagh and a scramble goal by Seán Murphy kept Borris in the lead at half time.
In the second half Borris seemed more settled. Even though they were playing into a strong wind scores seemed easier to come by. This was due to a decisive move to put Martin Kavanagh out on the wing and move Ger Coady into centre forward. Some excellent scores ensued with Jack Murphy and Diarmuid Byrne linking up with Martin Kavanagh, whose speed and agility opened up the Ballyhale defense.
His unselfish delivery of accurate ball to Michael O' Grady ended in two exceptional goals. He again linked up with Seanie Whelan and the ball ended up in the back of Ballyhale's net once more-Borris' fourth of the day. Points came from Seanie Whelan, Ger Coady and the accurate free taking of Martin Kavanagh saw Borris win on a score line of Borris 414 to Ballyhale 1-10.
This means Borris are now top of the table and a Lenster semi-final place has been booked.
A great performance overall, however Micheal Malone, Conor Foley, Diarmuid Byrne, Jack Murphy, Martin kavanagh, Ger Coady and Micheal O'Grady were excellent in the maroon and white jerseys. Well done to the boys and to their team mentors Mr Buckley, Mr Dela hunty, Mr Walsh and Mr Lonergan.

"Excellent tough camera."
5.0 starson by fbicking1Pros: f2.0, great in low light, fast boot and very easy to use.
Cons: No full manual control
Summary: I have had this camera over a month. I pre-ordered and got the camera a few days ahead of the release date. Right out of the box I liked the camera but wanted to wait till after a trip to Disney to really see how it preformed. I shoot almost everything with pro-level Canon bodies and L series lenses but wanted something I could carry around on vacation without the fear of rain on bumps damaging the camera. This thing did great. The first two days we walked around in Hurricane Debbie and the rain never bothered the camera. I even got some cool shots because I did not care about the camera getting wet. On the third day my daughter was in the pool with a bunch of dance friends (They were there to dance in Dance The World for Disney). The kids had a great time taking pictures in the pool. When we got back to the room I dried the outside and checked under the seals and nothing. Completely dry under both doors. We put the pictures on my MacBook and the underwater pictures were great.
During the main dance event I did shoot with my high end Canon DSLR. Later in the week they repeated the same number on a different stage so I decided to play with this little gem during that performance. All I can say is WOW. I put the camera in high-speed mode and it froze the dancers. The picture is a bit flat but hay it is a tough camera what do you want.
Latter in the night I decided to try the fireworks setting out shooting the show over Cinderella's castle. Worked fantastic and gave some nice shots.
I do have one complaint and that is I would like full control over shutter speed and aperture. In a couple of cases to get the camera to choose a higher aperture I turned the ISO up. I would like to be able to use my own experience in some situations to tell the camera what is best.

Comments about Mattel Barbie Princess Perfume:
This feels like something Barbie would use. It looks like it's for little girls, but I think that it's suitable for younger women and teenagers.
I love the scent of it, but I do recommend spraying away from you and walking through, because it can be a bit too much. A sweet fragrance.
I wouldn't recommend the product to a friend, mainly because it's so ordinary. But anyway, I really like it. So don't let the cheap-looking bottle fool you, it's nice.

AMMO Books is honored to present this beautiful large format title as the definitive monograph of artist Charley Harpers six decade long career. Renowned New York based designer Todd Oldham rediscovered Charleys work in 2001, and collaborated closely with him, combing through his extensive archive to edit and design this stunning AMMO Books release.
Charley Harper is an American original who created his art from his home studio in Cincinnati, Ohio - until his death on June 10, 2007 at the age of 84. He is beloved for his delightful, graphic and often humorous illustrations of nature, animals, insects and people alike. Charley liked to say, that when he paints a bird, he doesnt count all the feathers in the wings he just counts the wings. Minimal realism, he called it, and his unique and precise style continues to resonate and inspire his admirers.
Charley Harper - An Illustrated Life, showcases his illustrations that appeared from 1950-1975 in the Ford Times magazines, as well as in books such as the beloved The Giant Golden Book of Biology in 1961, Betty Crockers Dinner for Two in 1961, and The Animal Kingdom in 1968, among many others. His well loved book Birds and Words, first published in 1974, is considered a classic. Remarkably, however, Charleys work has never before been published in one complete retrospective. Accordingly, this massive volume is the definitive Charley Harper book to have on your bookshelf!
Bringing his legacy to a wider audience, AMMO Books offers Charley Harper An Illustrated Life, as a large format standard book, or as a luxurious
limited edition

This is a more "fine" art piece that I completed recently. Based off some drawings I did while seeing a performance by the Baltimore Symphony. I really seem to do my best work from those shows. These pieces really opened me up to letting the work be more violent in their construction. They are incredibly liberating. I'm definitely going to bring some of this language into my illustrations.

Hey ladies, my name is Nicole and I have a 5 month old dd.. We're planning to move at the end of 2013 to Wisconsin or Minnesota, right along the river. I had a very bad c section August 2012 and I don't want to deal with doctors next January when we get pregnant shortly after we move. I want a HBAC. But I can't find any laws telling me exactly WHO can attend. My husband is a paramedic but we would like a CNM there too.. Can anybody tell me or post links telling me who can legally attend a home birth in Minnesota OR Wisconsin.. We have friends in both states so worst case scenario we would birth at a friends house. Thank y'all so much!! X

Two fires are planned near the city of Portage. One prescribed burn is planned for 196 acres in the Tolleston Dunes area just south of U.S. Highway 12 between County Line Road and Stagecoach Road. Additionally, a 100 acre prescribed burn is planned for West Beach, east of County Line Road between Oak Street and the entrance road leading to the West Beach parking lot. These fires will reduce the non-native plant species and provide suitable habitat for native plants.
Near Gary, three fires are planned for the Miller Woods area. Fires here will be used to reduce an over accumulation of dead and downed vegetation, and help improve habitat for the federally endangered Karner Blue Butterfly. A 66 acre burn is planned for the area north of U.S. Highway 20/12 starting at Virginia Street going east to the railroad tracks. A second burn is planned for 32 acres north of U.S. Highway 20/12 and east of Interstate 65/90. A small ten acre burn is planned around the Paul H. Douglas Center for Environmental Education as well.
Near Porter, Indiana, the Mnoké Prairie is set for a prescribed fire. This 193 acre areanorth of US 20 and Beam Street is being burned to help restore the prairie to its natural state. A second burn is planned for 190 acres south of U.S. Highway 12 between Teale Rd. and Hadenfeldt Rd.
Near Beverly Shores, one 169 acre prescribed burn unit between East State Park Rd. and Derby Avenue, North of Beverly Drive and south of Lake Front Drive is planned.
The prescribed fire program at Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore is conducted by trained and experienced National Park Service fire personnel. Smoke dispersal is a primary concern and park staff will do everything possible to limit smoke in the area by monitoring wind and atmospheric conditions prior to ignitions. However, smoke drifting in and around park lands and roadways is possible.
# # #
Clear management goals and objectives have been established for each burn unit. Before burning, a designated set of conditions must exist including ideal air temperature, wind speed and direction, and relative humidity. Weather conditions will be monitored throughout the duration of the burn to ensure the fire is completed safely.

Once again a prompt, excellent service - very impressive
Review by confirmed purchaser
Just Campers seem to have nailed exactly what customers want from Internet buying. As before, goods arrived very promptly, price was competitive and if we had had to return them then that would have been a straightforward process. Having recently has to return a purchase to another retailer (a High Street company) which was nothing but an expensive hassle Just Campers set the requisite standard.

Catalog or site for specific model.....
Hopefully this will take care of the third "newbie" post, and possibly answer a question. I know that there are all kinds of vendor sites and catalogs for the various pickup and Tahoe owners. And I know that Tahoes are similar to the Suburban. Can anyone suggest a site, company, or catalog that is aimed at the Suburban owner? Thanks!

Considering that until recently the suburban shared the same front clip as the silverado, a company tailoring it's sales to just suburban would be shooting itself in the foot. Really, the only options that I know of are places like autoanything.com or lmc.

Probably at this time (warranty considerations) I would be focusing on interior, convenience, and functionality accessories. One thing that I was initially interested in, was the availability of a way to fill in or block off the mounting points for the roof rack, if I were to remove it. I know that someone made these for older models, but I can't find them for this late model. I am not particularly interested in a body kit, but a deeper air dam would be nice. Those kind of things....

North Andover comes back to stun Malden Catholic 7-5
Senior pitcher Mike Weisman gave up two earned runs and finished with 12 strikeouts in seven innings to lead North Andover over 5th ranked Malden Catholic, 7-5 at home Friday.
"We were very happy beating a big D-1 school," said North Andover's head coach Todd Dulin. "They have a really good team and some kids who could hit the ball hard."
The Lancers exploded to a 3-0 lead in the first inning after first baseman Sean Glabicky nailed two-run homer to left center. After a Scarlet Knights' error, the Lancer's No. 5 hitter, third baseman Anthony Carbone, hit a double to drive in a run.
"After the first [inning], Mike was pissed off and gathered himself and started rolling the curve ball," said Dulin. "In the second inning, he struck out three. In the third inning, he struck out two and you could kind of tell he was in a groove."
The Columbia bound pitcher is known for his clutch performances after having gotten a save at the North Sectional championship against Reading last year at LeLacheur Park, Dulin said.
The Knights rallied in the second inning to tie the game 3-3.
Junior first baseman Daniel Laorenza had a single and then the Lancers put runners on second and third after an error. Senior Center fielder David Foote got an infield single that drove in Lorenza, and senior third baseman Dom Nicolosi for the tying run.
"Every time they scored we seemed to answer," said Dulin.
The Knights(2-1) finally got the lead in the sixth after nine batters went to the plate after a series of walks. Shortstop Cam Couillard drilled a double to leftfield that drove Foote and senior leftfielder Jason Keshian to put the Knights up 6-5.
Couillard would then walk home after the Knights loaded up the bases and held onto a 7-5 lead.
Foote finished 3 of 3 from the plate with one RBI and two scored runs.

Jan Newton Senior Principal Oceanographer Affiliate Assistant Professor, Oceanography email@example.com Phone 206-543-9152 |
Dr. Jan Newton is a Principal Oceanographer with the Applied Physics Laboratory of the University of Washington and affiliate faculty with the UW School of Oceanography and the School of Marine and Environmental Affairs, both in the UW College of the Environment. She is the Executive Director of the Northwest Association of Networked Ocean Observing Systems (NANOOS), the US IOOS Regional Association for the Pacific Northwest. Jan is a biological oceanographer who has studied the physical, chemical, and biological dynamics of Puget Sound and coastal Washington, including understanding effects from climate and humans on water properties. Currently she has been working with colleagues at UW and NOAA to assess the status of ocean acidification in our local waters.
NEMO Deployment and Shelf Science Cruise The primary purpose of the cruise is to deploy the NEMO (Northwest Enhanced Moored Observatory) moorings off the Washington coast in water about 100 m deep. While at sea, the team will also conduct science experiments to detect and track non-linear internal waves (NLIWs) traveling across the continental shelf break. Surveys with an echo sounder and the towed body SWIMS will be run from the shelf break toward the mooring location as well as in the Juan de Fuca Canyon. |

Ocean acidification has serious implications for the economy and ecology of the Pacific Northwest United States. A combination of factors renders the Pacific coast and coastal estuaries particularly vulnerable to acidified water. The Northwest Association of Networked Ocean Observing Systems, NANOOS, the Regional Association of the United States Integrated Ocean Observing System, IOOS, is set up to deliver coastal data to serve the needs and decisions of its region. NANOOS has worked through IOOS with the NOAA Ocean Acidification Program, NOAA PMEL, academic, local, and commercial and tribal shellfish growing partners to provide existing observing assets to accommodate pCO2 and pH sensors, to deliver data streams from these and other providers, including that from sensors in shellfish hatcheries, and to network this capacity regionally and nationally. This increase in data access regarding OA is of value to scientists, managers, educators, and shellfish growers who are especially appreciative of the near real-time readouts of the data, upon which to make hatchery and remote setting decisions. This is a regional example of NANOOS and IOOS contributions to societal impacts from ocean acidification. |
Internal waves on the Washington continental shelf Alford, M.H., J.B. Mickett, S. Zhang, P. MacCready, Z. Zhao, and J. Newton, "Internal waves on the Washington continental shelf," Oceanography, 25, 66-79, doi:10.5670/oceanog.2012.43, 2012. |

The low-frequency oceanography of the Washington continental shelf has been studied in great detail over the last several decades owing in part to its high productivity but relatively weak upwelling winds compared to other systems. Interestingly, though many internal wave-resolving measurements have been made, there have been no reports on the region's internal wave climate and the possible feedbacks between internal waves and lower-frequency processes. This paper reports observations over two summers obtained from a new observing system of two moorings and a glider on the Washington continental shelf, with a focus on internal waves and their relationships to lower-frequency currents, stratification, dissolved oxygen, and nutrient distributions. We observe a rich, variable internal wave field that appears to be modulated in part by a coastal jet and its response to the region's frequent wind reversals. The internal wave spectral level at intermediate frequencies is consistent with the model spectrum of Levine (2002) developed for continental shelves. Superimposed on this continuum are (1) a strong but highly temporally variable semidiurnal internal tide field and (2) an energetic field of high-frequency nonlinear internal waves (NLIWs). Mean semidiurnal energy flux is about 80 W m-1 to the north-northeast. The onshore direction of the flux and its lack of a strong spring/neap cycle suggest it is at least partly generated remotely. Nonlinear wave amplitudes reach 38 m in 100 m of water, making them among the strongest observed on continental shelves of similar depth. They often occur each 12.4 hours, clearly linking them to the tide. Like the internal tide energy flux, the NLIWs are also directed toward the north-northeast. However, their phasing is not constant with respect to either the baroclinic or barotropic currents, and their amplitude is uncorrelated with either internal-tide energy flux or barotropic tidal forcing, suggesting substantial modulation by the low-frequency currents and stratification. |

The successful use of SOSUS to track broad-scale occurrence patterns in whale calls during the second half of the 20th century fostered the development of autonomous recorders that can be deployed virtually anywhere in the world ocean. Over the past decade, data from these recorders have provided dramatic insights to marine mammal ecology. Patterns of call reception have demonstrated the near year-round occurrence of some baleen whale species in Arctic and Antarctic waters, a discovery that challenges long-held assumptions about the phenology of seasonal migrations. Integration of year-long calling records with physical oceanographic measures at mooring-based ocean observatories provides a means to include large whales in ecosystem-based models. The reception of anthropogenic sounds on nearly all recorders, whether deployed in coastal or remote areas, emphasizes the need to develop regional "soundscapes" based upon integrative sampling and analytical protocols. Examples from several long-term research programs will be provided as the basis for the strong assertion that passive acoustic observation of marine mammals is a vital component of any ocean observing system. Opportunities for future collaborations and the challenges of data management and access will be discussed. |

Puget Sound is a large estuary complex in the U.S. Pacific Northwest that is home to a diverse and economically important ecosystem threatened by anthropogenic impacts associated with climate change, urbanization, and ocean acidification. While ocean acidification has been studied in oceanic waters, little is known regarding its status in estuaries. Anthropogenically acidified coastal waters upwelling along the western North American continental margin can enter Puget Sound through the Strait of Juan de Fuca. In order to study the combined effects of ocean acidification and other natural and anthropogenic processes on Puget Sound waters, we made the first inorganic carbon measurements in this estuary on two survey cruises in February and August of 2008. Observed pH and aragonite saturation state values in surface and subsurface waters were substantially lower in parts of Puget Sound than would be expected from anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO2) uptake alone. We estimate that ocean acidification can account for 2449% of the pH decrease in the deep waters of the Hood Canal sub-basin of Puget Sound relative to estimated pre-industrial values. The remaining change in pH between when seawater enters the sound and when it reaches this deep basin results from remineralization of organic matter due to natural or anthropogenically stimulated respiration processes within Puget Sound. Over time, however, the relative impact of ocean acidification could increase significantly, accounting for 4982% of the pH decrease in subsurface waters for a doubling of atmospheric CO2. These changes may have profound impacts on the Puget Sound ecosystem over the next several decades. These estimates suggest that the role ocean acidification will play in estuaries may be different from the open ocean. |

People helping to suffocate Hood Canal, scientists say The Seattle Times, Warren Cornwall People drawn to the beauty of Hood Canal are helping suffocate the very waters that brought them here. Septic systems leaking nitrogen from sewage into the southern end of the picturesque fjord are contributing to a chain reaction that kills fish and depletes the richness of underwater life. |

So I know this is very late, but wow what a year! I had a great year of running in 2013, and all of my runs in my Provision 1.5 by Altra, still the best shoe on the planet. As you can see from my bling board I did a lot of running.
One thing I really focused in on was my form this year, and still getting everything in correct alignment. I learned proper form makes a huge difference! Not only in how I feel after runs, but also how I perform during the runs as well. While I am not there yet I made huge strides (yes pun intended) in how I run. Even more fun to that pun is that my strides have actually gotten smaller. While my form is not as good as the photo of Meb in my picture, it has gotten better. BTW look to the bottom of the post to see near perfection during running and what proper form can do for you. Love Sport Science!...

Entertainment Tonight
A disabled woman, who identifies herself as a professor of medicine at UC Irvine, has filed a lawsuit against Johnny Depp. The suit alleges that the actor's bodyguards assaulted her at an Iggy Pop concert at the Hollywood Palladium Theater last year.
RELATED: Mane Men
In court papers obtained by ET, the woman claims that Depp's bodyguards restrained her, unprovoked, as she tried to get to her seat in the V.I.P. area of the concert. The papers go on to claim that the bodyguards pried her cell phone from her hand "one finger at a time," put her in handcuffs and dragged her away, during which time her pants fell off.
RELATED: Hottest Oscar Couples
According to the filings, the woman's pre-existing spondyloarthritis and fibromyalgia, which affect her joints and back, was exacerbated in the alleged tussle. The documents also claim that the woman sustained a dislocated left elbow, bleeding and bruising.

Light Signal Transduction Pathway from Flavin Chromophore to the Jα Helix of Arabidopsis Phototropin1 Biophysical Journal, Volume 96, Issue 7, 8 April 2009, Pages 2771-2778 Atsushi Yamamoto, Tatsuya Iwata, Yoshiaki Sato, Daisuke Matsuoka, Satoru Tokutomi and Hideki Kandori Abstract In the plant blue-light sensor phototropin, illumination of the chromophoric LOV domains causes activation of the serine/threonine kinase domain. Flavin mononucleotide (FMN) is a chromophore molecule in the two LOV domains (LOV1 and LOV2), but only LOV2 is responsible for kinase activation. Previous studies reported an important role of an additional helix connected to the C-terminal of LOV2 (Jα helix) for the function of phototropin; however, it remains unclear how the Jα helix affects light-induced structural changes in LOV2. In this study we compared light-induced protein structural changes of the LOV2 domain of Arabidopsis phot1 in the absence (LOV2-core) and presence (LOV2-Jα) of the Jα helix by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy. Prominent peaks were observed only in the amide-I region (1650 (−)/1625 (+) cm−1) of LOV2-Jα at physiological temperatures (≥260 K), corresponding to structural perturbation of the α-helix. The peaks were diminished by point mutation of functionally important amino acids such as Phe-556 between FMN and the β-sheet, Gln-575 being hydrogen-bonded with FMN, and Ile-608 on the Jα helix. We thus conclude that a light signal is relayed from FMN through these amino acids and eventually changes the interaction between LOV2-core and the Jα helix in Arabidopsis phot1.

The Phot LOV2 Domain and Its Interaction with LOV1 Biophysical Journal, Volume 89, Issue 1, 1 July 2005, Pages 402-412 Huimin Guo, Tilman Kottke, Peter Hegemann and Bernhard Dick Abstract Phot proteins are homologs of the blue-light receptor phototropin. We report a comparative study of the photocycles of the isolated, light-sensitive domains LOV1 and LOV2 from Chlamydomonas reinhardtii phot protein, as well as the construct LOV1/2 containing both domains. Transient absorption measurements revealed a short lifetime of the LOV2-wt triplet state (500ns), but a long lifetime (287μs) of the triplet in the mutant LOV2-C250S, in which the reactive cysteine is replaced by serine. For LOV1, in comparison, corresponding numbers of 800ns and 4μs for the two conformers in LOV1-wt, and 27μs for LOV1-C57S have been reported. The triplet decay kinetics in the mixed domains LOV1/2-wt, LOV1/2-C57S, and LOV1/2-C250S can be analyzed as the superposition of the behavior of the corresponding single domains. The situation is different for the slow, thermal reaction of the photoadduct back to the dark form. Whereas the individual domains LOV1 and LOV2 show two decay components, the double domains LOV1/2-C57S and LOV1/2-C250S both show only a single component. The interaction of the two domains does therefore not manifest itself during the lifetime of the triplet states, but changes the decay behavior of the adduct states.

Primary Reactions of the LOV2 Domain of Phototropin Studied with Ultrafast Mid-Infrared Spectroscopy and Quantum Chemistry Biophysical Journal, Volume 97, Issue 1, 8 July 2009, Pages 227-237 Maxime T.A. Alexandre, Tatiana Domratcheva, Cosimo Bonetti, Luuk J.G.W. van Wilderen, Rienk van Grondelle, Marie-Louise Groot, Klaas J. Hellingwerf and John T.M. Kennis Abstract Phototropins, major blue-light receptors in plants, are sensitive to blue light through a pair of flavin mononucleotide (FMN)-binding light oxygen and voltage (LOV) domains, LOV1 and LOV2. LOV2 undergoes a photocycle involving light-driven covalent adduct formation between a conserved cysteine and the FMN C(4a) atom. Here, the primary reactions of Avena sativa phototropin 1 LOV2 (AsLOV2) were studied using ultrafast mid-infrared spectroscopy and quantum chemistry. The singlet excited state (S1) evolves into the triplet state (T1) with a lifetime of 1.5 ns at a yield of ∼50%. The infrared signature of S1 is characterized by absorption bands at 1657 cm−1, 1495–1415 cm−1, and 1375 cm−1. The T1 state shows infrared bands at 1657 cm−1, 1645 cm−1, 1491–1438 cm−1, and 1390 cm−1. For both electronic states, these bands are assigned principally to C=O, C=N, C-C, and C-N stretch modes. The overall downshifting of C=O and C=N bond stretch modes is consistent with an overall bond-order decrease of the conjugated isoalloxazine system upon a π-π∗ transition. The configuration interaction singles (CIS) method was used to calculate the vibrational spectra of the S1 and T1 excited ππ∗ states, as well as respective electronic energies, structural parameters, electronic dipole moments, and intrinsic force constants. The harmonic frequencies of S1 and T1, as calculated by the CIS method, are in satisfactory agreement with the evident band positions and intensities. On the other hand, CIS calculations of a T1 cation that was protonated at the N(5) site did not reproduce the experimental FMN T1 spectrum. We conclude that the FMN T1 state remains nonprotonated on a nanosecond timescale, which rules out an ionic mechanism for covalent adduct formation involving cysteine-N(5) proton transfer on this timescale. Finally, we observed a heterogeneous population of singly and doubly H-bonded FMN C(4)=O conformers in the dark state, with stretch frequencies at 1714 cm−1 and 1694 cm−1, respectively.

A prokaryotic protein, YtvA from Bacillus subtilis, was found to possess a light, oxygen, voltage (LOV) domain sharing high homology with the photoactive, flavin mononucleotide (FMN)-binding LOV domains of phototropins (phot), blue-light photoreceptors for phototropism in higher plants. Computer-based three-dimensional modeling suggests that YtvA-LOV binds FMN in a similar pocket as phot-LOVs. Recombinant YtvA indeed exhibits the same spectroscopical features and blue-light-induced photochemistry as phot-LOVs, with the reversible formation of a blue-shifted photoproduct, assigned to an FMN-cysteine thiol adduct (Thio383). By means of laser-flash photolysis and time-resolved optoacoustic experiments, we measured the quantum yield of formation for Thio383, ΦThio=0.49, and the enthalpy change, ΔHThio=135kJ/mol, with respect to the parent state. The formation of Thio383 is accompanied by a considerable volume contraction, ΔVThio=−13.5ml/mol. Similar to phot-LOVs, Thio383 is formed from the decay of a red-shifted transient species, T650, within 2μs. In both YtvA and free FMN, this transient has an enthalpy content of ∼200kJ/mol, and its formation is accompanied by a small contraction, ΔVT≈−1.5ml/mol, supporting the assignment of T650 to the FMN triplet state, as suggested by spectroscopical evidences. These are the first studies indicating that phototropin-related, blue-light receptors may exist also in prokaryotes, besides constituting a steadily growing family in plants.

Why did Sen. Rand Paul's son get busted ?
The message, if indeed one was being sent?
It's not to get an important kid in trouble. Kids are kids, after all, which is a close echo of what the family spokesperson said to the media. It's not even to cast dispersions on the Paul family. Rather, the message could be to let the Paul family know that they can be gotten to.
by Rufus Petersen
President Franklin Roosevelt said: "In politics nothing happens 'by chance. If something happens, then you can bet that it was planned that way …"
Now we are being told FDR never said it; that it was in fact fabricated. This itself might seem like a conspiracy, but ignoring the wisdom of such a phrase would be the path of a dimwit. Machiavelli would agree.
Politics is a game played for keeps, even in the US where despite being given constant examples of corruption, we still are expected to justifiably think and behave as if politicians are boy scouts who act as if they agree to say "let the best man win".
Ron Paul has been the target of many a smear, having been accused of being a racist and an anti-semite as any search engine will reveal. He was effectively kept from being able to compete fairly in two presidential races, something Ralph Nader has had some experience with as well. The George Orwell quote "the further a society drifts from truth, the more it will hate those who speak it" might be the logical conclusion to such a line of thought if you accept the media and politicians as constituting any kind of society.
Have you done your homework on Ron Paul yet?
Ron Paul: "On foreign aid, that should be the easiest thing to cut. It's not authorized in the Constitution that we can take money from you and give it to particular countries around the world. To me, foreign aid is taking money from poor people in this country and giving it to rich people in poor countries."
The sins of the father might easily be passed on to the son, especially when the apple hasn't fallen too far from the tree.
If you will pardon these aphorisms, right on the heels of Sen. Rand Paul's calls for reduction in foreign aid to Israel , (perhaps it was actually before), his son gets busted for underage drinking at an airport. http://www.theatlanticwire.com/technology/2013/01/who-got-rand-pauls-teenage-son-drunk-10-m-flight/60649/.
Rand Paul is a known enemy of foreign aid like his dad Ron Paul is. He just returned from his first trip to Israel. You don't have to be too paranoid to see the son's bust as having auspicious timing. William Paul is too young to legally drink, and any flight attendant would certainly card him. How easy would it be for him to have little liquor bottles on him? The articles however are claiming that he'd been consuming beer and/or wine.
"The younger Paul was charged with three misdemeanor offenses: disorderly conduct at an airport, being intoxicated and disruptive and consuming beer and wine underage" http://www.cnn.com/2013/01/07/politics/north-carolina-paul-son/index.html And yet earlier in the same article we read "A spokesman for U.S. Airways said Paul was not served onboard."
"Our reports indicate that (Paul) slept through the drink service and was not served onboard," Andrew Christie said" http://news.yahoo.com/senator-rand-pauls-teenage-son-arrested-alcohol-charges-225752783.html;_ylt=A2KJjam7b.tQHFIA43LQtDMD.
So, either the police are lying or the airline spokesman is. And how did the cops know what it was exactly that he had been drinking? There would have been no way to know what the young Paul had been drinking before he got on the plane– http://www.theatlanticwire.com/technology/2013/01/who-got-rand-pauls-teenage-son-drunk-10-m-flight/60649/
Or did Paul just awake on the flight only to suddenly get belligerent? "A spokesman for US Airways said there was a "passenger disruption" on the flight in question but that it did not result from alcohol being served by the airline."
If boy Paul was with anyone DURING the flight, we should know who that person was. Not to be overly suspicious, but someone would do it for me anyway. If we cannot establish what he'd been drinking, perhaps he'd been intoxicated on something else entirely. The media, as usual is 'just reporting the news', and as usual, there seems to be some slightly contradictory versions.
Two things we can state with certainty as we sort through this mess with it's lack of details is that William Hilton Paul was wasted on something, and that the Paul family spokesperson is asking for a little privacy from the media for the sake of the family.
Would a kid get high on or before an ultra-short morning flight? I know, I know- none of us adults would. Ever. But William no doubt has some friends he might have been spending some time with before or during the flight. And do we know for sure whether William Paul was arrested right off the plane and hadn't had the chance to spend any time in the airport lounge- alone or with someone else? Not once are we informed by any of the reports if Paul had been alone. Someone might well have wanted to send a little message by getting the young Paul wasted (or ornery), resulting in an arrest or no. Just imagine the impact of a completely incapacitated young man on a plane, particularly when he's the son of a senator.
The message, if indeed one was being sent? It's not to get an important kid in trouble. Kids are kids, after all, which is a close echo of what the family spokesperson said to the media. It's not even to cast dispersions on the Paul family. Rather, the message could be to let the Paul family know that they can be gotten to.
