Loading... BioShock: Raptureby John Shirley
Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. Only read a little. Didn't like. Too over the top. It is a really good read especially if you are a fan of videogames. It explains everything perfectly from Frank Fan Taine's Uprising and Ryan's Police Takeover to Plasmids and Splicers. However, if you weren't a fan of the games, it is still a good read. I read this book because I was a fan of the video games. I saw a prequel to them and I was very interested. I've never played the Bioshock game, but I was drawn by the novel's premise. Rapture is an equivalent of the Atlantis valley from Ayn Rand's "Atlas Shrugged", moved to an underwater setting where everything goes tragically wrong. Industrialist Andrew Ryan is tired of government interference, so he sets up his own city outside of national boundaries to create a tax-free libertarian utopia. Its only downside is that once you're in, you can't leave. The flaws of Rapture are soon evident, when it becomes riddled with immoral characters who have no problem stomping on the rights of others and can't be sufficiently controlled. Meanwhile the underclass swells and quickly reaches a dead end. With large numbers of its citizens feeling trapped in this enclosed society where hand-outs are frowned upon, trouble is soon brewing. Layered over this is the necessary setup for the video games that will carry the story forward past this novel's end: we see bizarre new technologies being employed in this 1950s setting that are still the stuff of sci-fi today, arising from a complete lack of regulation and regard for morality. Scenes of horror ensue. I wondered whether this novel would be openly judgemental of Ayn Rand's philosophy (represented in the person of Andrew Ryan) but it is only a straightforward exploration of how her envisioned utopia's rise and fall might play out, building on the premise that a fall would indeed happen. As a novel it would have been more successful had it remained focused on the two contrasting characters it starts with: Bill the plumber, who becomes a significant figure in Rapture's maintenance and Ryan's most trusted advisor, the kind of person Rapture was intended for; and Fontaine the mobster, who represents the darker side of people who are drawn by what Rapture has to offer. These could have sufficed to tell the entire story by themselves and been made to play off one another. Fontaine is the engine by which the fall comes about, but Bill's story is essentially that of the novel. Their stories and character depth become watered down due to other characters' perspectives competing for page count, so it isn't all that it could have been but the threads are there. I became well-versed in what are presumably the game's key elements, except for the Big Daddies: in contrast to other things that were evolving step-by-step (e.g. the Little Sisters), I didn't see the same logical development of how the Daddies came to be; they just suddenly were. This was costly to fully portraying the latter half of Ryan's character arc as he's confronted with the downfall of Rapture, something I'd anticipated reading to see how it was handled. Bioshock: Rapture is a fast-paced story, it makes some fun allusions, and it displays some real effort and interest on the author's part that I'd feared would be lacking. Narrower focus and a less episodic structure would have helped, but I didn't feel the novel was simply riding on the video game's reputation. Viewed as a tragedy the utopia story is complete and I don't feel forced to play the game afterward. As to how politically and socially realistic you find this tragedy's portrayal to be, that will depend on the baggage you bring with you. Bioshock: Rapture by John Shirley is a book with some really interesting ideas set in a great epic-scale environment. Given its origins, it's commendable that it didn't read like a computer game, but unfortunately it did not rise above the quality of a very average tie-in novel. The characterisation is barely adequate -- almost all the characters have very little complexity or depth. I couldn't imagine many of them as real people, and I didn't care much for any of them. The first third of the book I struggled through; the middle third -- once the underwater city had been built -- was interesting and gripping, but I found the final quarter quite tedious: the book suffers badly in that the author clearly has to set up a lot of characters and stories, but is unable to bring almost any of them to any kind of closure. Presumably the closure to these stories are found in the Bioshock games. So, this is not a prequel (as advertised on the cover); this is strictly back-story. I'm forced to conclude that it's for fans of the game only. no reviews | add a review
References to this work on external resources. Wikipedia in English (3)Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0765324857, Paperback)It's the end of World War II. FDR's New Deal has redefined American politics. Taxes are at an all-time high. The bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki has brought a fear of total annihilation. The rise of secret government agencies and sanctions on business has many watching their backs. America's sense of freedom is diminishing . . . and many are desperate to take there freedom back. Among them is a great dreamer, an immigrant who pulled himself from the depths of poverty to become one of the wealthiest and admired men in the world. That man is Andrew Ryan, and he believed that great men and women deserve better. And so he set out to create the impossible, a utopia free from government, censorship, and moral restrictions on science--where what you give is what you get. He created Rapture---the shining city below the sea. But as we all know, this utopia suffered a great tragedy. This is the story of how it all came to be . . .and how it all ended. (retrieved from Amazon Mon, 30 Sep 2013 13:37:28 -0400) A prequel to the video-game franchise explains how the technologically advanced undersea city called Rapture came to be and how it eventually devolved into a chaotic dystopia. |

6/15/2009 Contestant Talks about 'Next Food Network Star' Experience
If the ten chef-testants on The Next Food Network Star are the kings and queens of their respective kitchens, on the reality show, they have to impress and are in the mercy of judges (that would be merciless Bobby Flay, Bob Tuschman, and Susie Fogelson). For one of the contestants Brett August, it is a gamble for an entirely different reason."Ive been the head cook at the hotel for 11 years and had vacation and sick time stored up," he says. "I had to use all of it to do this show. I cant afford to get sick any more."

6/21/2009 The Next Food Network Star: Brett August Talks About His Elimination
Brett August, a native New Yorker and executive sous chef at Doral Arrowwood Hotel in Rye Brook, New York, didnt think he would be leaving The Next Food Network Star in week 2. He struggled with the Esquire challenge in which he was supposed to create a recipe for the magazines "Recipe for Men" section and was consequently sent home. And if he had the chance to redo the challenges from the second episode, August reveals that he would have made different dishes."I needed to infuse my personality into the dishes I made, not just into the presentation of them. However, I was glad that my high energy level came across during the Esquire presentation, even if Bob Tuschmann referred to my presentation as landing on Planet Brett. I can think of worse places to land," August wrote on his blog.

Twenty-eight-year-old Michael Proietti was sent packing on the last episode of The Next Food Network Star, barely making it to the shows final four contestants.

I had a great time with the Miami challenge, and I really dont think I was focused on the big picture. When I watched the episode back I understood a little better."

The 30-year-old Atlanta native for her part didnt deny that it was indeed her disgruntled comments that might have spelled her downfall on the show."As far as the comments I made, I tend to come off that way when I am focused--that does not mean I was upset. Also, I am the type of woman that if you ask me how I am feeling, I will tell you flat out! And if I love something, I will let you know ten-fold!"

Part 1 of 4 -- Unless you reside on Mars, you're undoubtedly familiar with "United Breaks Guitars." That's the video musician Dave Carroll posted on YouTube 2½ years ago after United Airlines baggage handlers broke his treasured, and expensive, Taylor guitar and UAL wouldn't adequately compensate him.
"United Breaks Guitars" is the humorous saga of the stonewalling Carroll encountered from United's customer service department. The video (see it below) immediately went viral, has been viewed 11.5 million times, and spawned two additional musical videos on the same theme.
And Carroll? He's become a sought-after spokesman about customer service. In the video below, he explains how social media and his experience merged in surprising fashon. Oh, and he did fly United again – and lost his bags. Watch the video below for more:
This video is the first of four from my interview with Carroll, a down-to-earth fellow who has been writing songs and performing for 20 years, often with his band Sons of Maxwell.
Could he have imagined the celebrity status that followed "United Breaks Guitars?"
"No, not at all," he says. "… it wasn't my intention to become famous, but I did ask myself to get a million views. It's gone much more viral than that."
Asked frequently why he thinks that happened, he says it resonated with everyone and incorporated humor. "Ultimately," he says, "it has to do with the fact that we're all connected with each other … and now that social media allows us to experience that connection, I think it touched a nerve … anyone who's ever flown and had a bad airline experience."
Carroll admits it's been a challenge to keep up with everything that's come along for him as a result of "United Guitars." Still, as a musician he's been through all the highs and lows and he's managed to make it all work and stay the same guy he always was.
Here's the "United Breaks Guitars" video:

On Chaos
New Music from So Percussion, The Eclipse Quartet, Yungchen Lhamo and Anton Batagov
Monday, June 24, 2013
This week's episode of The New Canon is all about chaos, and an attempt to find order within chaos, as we check out new recordings from So Percussion, the Eclipse Quartet, Yungchen Lhamo and Anton Batagov.
So Percussion recently unveiled "neither Anvil nor Pulley," a work for laptop/percussion quartet and turntable by Dan Trueman. Mixing turntables, microphones, video game controllers, drums and laptops, among other tools, the piece is an exploration of what it means to be a musician in the digital age. The recording is available exclusively via digital download.
Works by three pioneers of American experimentalism—Frederic Rzewski, James Tenney and Zeena Parkins—are performed by The Eclipse string quartet and percussionist William Winant on a recent disc from New World Records. Rzewski's contribution, Whimwhams, is a fully-notated attempt to bypass the conscious mind and tap into the ecstatic, spontaneous energy of free improvisation.
Our album of the week is "Tayatha," a collaboration between Tibetan vocalist Yungchen Lhamo and Russian pianist Anton Batagov. Described as a modern vocal cycle about finding peace in the middle of a crazy world, the seven songs mix European tonality with intricate, traditional Tibetan vocals. Stream the whole album here, all week!

The Idaho National Laboratory (INL) is tasked by the U.S. Department of Energys (DOE) Vehicle Technology Program (VTP) to collect electric drive vehicle and charging infrastructure data for several deployment projects funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA). These projects include charging infrastructure deployments, grid-connected electric drive vehicle deployments, and deployments with both vehicles and charging infrastructure. As the projects are deployed and sufficient quantities of data are collected, project fact sheets will be posted on this site that document deployment numbers and technology performance.
The information posted on these webpages is being generated from the largest ever deployment of grid-connected battery electric vehicles (BEVs), extended range electric vehicles (EREVs), plug-in electric drive vehicles, and charging infrastructure. It will be reported to the DOE-VTP, project participants, and the general public. The information will also be used to help DOE plan for the successful future deployment of additional grid-connected electric drive vehicles and charging infrastructure. Increasing the use of electricity as a transportation fuel supports the DOE goals of reducing the United States' dependency on foreign petroleum and enhances the overall security of the United States.

We need a new system
Since this is the politically incorrect forum, here I go..
Yes Obama has to go - for all of you who read this, you probably know the reasons why - and many of you may not actually understand the actual reasons why. I'm not talking the 'issues' of abortion or gays either which are the only major differences between the Republicans and the Democrats.
As far as I'm concerned, we NEED a better political party than either the Democrats or the Republicans. All we have to do is look at how close these past elections have been to see just how divided these two parties are making our country. This is MY Country - I risked my LIFE for it. If we allow this current situation to go on much longer we will have a new civil war.
We weave a path in long curves now between the Democrats and Republicans that, as the American people, we can only hope that in the long term, the balance between right wing nut jobs and left wing anarchists turns out to be a middle ground.
We are always forced to make a vote for the lesser of two evils. We never have a 3rd or 4th viable choice.
The current system HAS to change or our children and grandchildren are doomed to anarchy.
I spent 23 years of my life watching the world laugh at our country after I served in our Navy and while I still defended us from outside our country.

Plant postembryonic development takes place in the meristems, where stem cells self-renew and produce daughter cells that differentiate and give rise to different organ structures. For the maintenance of meristems, the rate of differentiation of daughter cells must equal the generation of new cells: How this is achieved is a central question in plant development. In the Arabidopsis root meristem, stem cells surround a small group of organizing cells, the quiescent center. Together they form a stem cell niche [1,2], whose position and activity depends on the combinatorial action of two sets of genes—PLETHORA1 (PLT1) and PLETHORA2 (PLT2)[3,4] and SCARECROW (SCR) and SHORTROOT (SHR)[2]—as well as on polar auxin transport. In contrast, the mechanisms controlling meristematic cell differentiation remain unclear. Here, we report that cytokinins control the rate of meristematic cell differentiation and thus determine root-meristem size via a two-component receptor histidine kinase-transcription factor signaling pathway. Analysis of the root meristems of cytokinin mutants, spatial cytokinin depletion, and exogenous cytokinin application indicates that cytokinins act in a restricted region of the root meristem, where they antagonize a non-cell-autonomous cell-division signal, and we provide evidence that this signal is auxin.

275 ml bottle, at The Beehive pub, Brentford, London. ABV is 3.6%. Deep golden colour, moderate head. Aroma like a decent standard bitter, notes of malts and some fruit, hints of caramel. Reasonably hoppy flavour throughout, pleasant to drink. Not bad at all for a beer this low ABV.

I poyred this average beer into my tumbler at 50 degrees. The beer was a nice golden color but that was about it. no head came forth from the bottle of this beer. The smell was okay with slight hint of caramel and bready. The taste was little hoppy and really flat. Fullers makes a lot better product than this, but I will not buy this one again.

Draft. Pours clear amber with a moderate head. Aroma is malts and sour dough. Not sourdough, but sour-smelling dough. Taste is very flat and bland. Malty and earthy, but with a dry finish. Based upon other's ratings, I may have got a bad one. But based on what I had, not recommended.

Appearance Bright orange in color and clear with a modest head.
Smell This ale has a nice, easy, grassy citrus nose with some lovely summer fruits backed up by a creamy grain.
Taste The taste here is bitter and full of rindy orange. The sweetness is orange, too, but not that sugary type of orange. This is more like raw tangerine sweetness. I can also pick up some lesser fruits like watermelon. The grain backbone rounds things out. This is probably the smoothest grain flavor that Ive had to date.
Mouthfeel Light to medium-bodied with some good bitterness and extremely smooth.
Drinkability This is pub-perfect. Its the kind of beer that youd just love to get on-tap and not change your drink all night.

Disney Magic Review
In a novel approach to dining, passengers (and their waiters) rotate through the three main dining rooms in assigned seatings—two assigned dinner times on Disney Wonder and four on Disney Magic. Parrot Cay and Animator's Palate are casual, while Triton's (Disney Wonder) and Lumière's (Disney Magic) are a bit fancier. Palo is a beautifully appointed northern Italian restaurant for adults only that requires reservations for brunch, dinner, or tea and carries an extra charge. Breakfast and lunch are open seating in dining rooms. Disney characters make an appearance at a character breakfast on seven-night cruises. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are also offered in the casual pool-deck buffet, while poolside pizzerias, snack bars, grills, and ice-cream bars serve everything from pizza, burgers, and hot dogs to fresh fruit, wraps, and frozen treats during the day. Specialty coffees are available in the adults-only Cove Café for an extra charge. Room service is available around the clock.

That's what I did with my pally for Heroics too. Keeping agro was impossible in PuGs and Mages and Locks doing so much burst. So I dumped all my tank gear, grabbed a Wrathful 1 hander and a shield and threw on my Ret gear.
I only have 38k HP unbuffed now but everything is a lot smoother as healers have no problem keeping me up and the DPS aren't having to stand around doing nothing to keep from pulling agro. At 85 and in raids it'd be different, but it works well at 80 for JP farming.

Advocate for lndians 185 generally at 5:M) or 5:30 p.m. at the pleasure of the court. The first week the weather was warm and there was a swimming pool of sorts at the Apache Motel and John, Bryant and Allen would have a swim, followed by dinner prepared by Mrs. Tibbals, and then back to preparation for the next day's Court session until preparation was considered adequate, whatever the hour of the night. In court, John carried the burden of the active representation and examination of witnesses, addressing the Court. Bryant Croft assisted, readied exhibits, made suggestions to John and served as liaison between Allen Tibbals who kept notes of the proceedings and checked to make sure no omissions occurred in presentation of plaintiff's case. The court sessions varied from tedium, as the Navajos relentessly testified through interpreters, refusing to speak English even though able to do so, reciting the presence of themselves, their parents, their grandparents and great grandparents as permanent residents on the Hopi reservation in the attempt to make it appear that they had either been settled thereon by the Secretary of Interior or by having lived there acquired some right through merely being there, to high drama as testimony of the Navajo depredations against the Hopi came in. Much of the Navajo testimony was discredited in either cross-examination by Mr. Boyden, or by presentation of Hopi witness who were able to testify in English, without an interpreter and who were able in many instances to establish factually that the Navajo had been nomadic, did not remain on the reservation in one locale, and, if anything, were trespassers and interlopers on areas long before settled by the Hopi. The detail of the trial, while fascinating to a lawyer or perhaps to an historian, need not be recited in this context. Suffice it to say that after four solid weeks of trial the Court adjourned after having directed counsel for both sides to prepare proposed Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law and Judgment espousing their view of the evidence presented to the Court. Work on this monumental task was interrupted by the necessity for John and Allen to return to the South Rim of Grand Canyon for a period of ten days to appear before the Indian Claims Commission in presentation of evidence of the Hopi aboriginal claim to lands usurped

Dipolar Coupling between Nitroxide Spin Labels: The Development and Application of a Tether-in-a-Cone Model
Biophysical Journal, Volume 90, Issue 1, 1 January 2006, Pages 340-356
Eric J. Hustedt, Richard A. Stein, Latsavongsakda Sethaphong, Suzanne Brandon, Zheng Zhou and Susan C. DeSensi
AbstractA tether-in-a-cone model is developed for the simulation of electron paramagnetic resonance spectra of dipolar coupled nitroxide spin labels attached to tethers statically disordered within cones of variable halfwidth. In this model, the nitroxides adopt a range of interprobe distances and orientations. The aim is to develop tools for determining both the distance distribution and the relative orientation of the labels from experimental spectra. Simulations demonstrate the sensitivity of electron paramagnetic resonance spectra to the orientation of the cones as a function of cone halfwidth and other parameters. For small cone halfwidths (<∼40°), simulated spectra are strongly dependent on the relative orientation of the cones. For larger cone halfwidths, spectra become independent of cone orientation. Tether-in-a-cone model simulations are analyzed using a convolution approach based on Fourier transforms. Spectra obtained by the Fourier convolution method more closely fit the tether-in-a-cone simulations as the halfwidth of the cone increases. The Fourier convolution method gives a reasonable estimate of the correct average distance, though the distance distribution obtained can be significantly distorted. Finally, the tether-in-a-cone model is successfully used to analyze experimental spectra from T4 lysozyme. These results demonstrate the utility of the model and highlight directions for further development.

Properties of Spin and Fluorescent Labels at a Receptor-Ligand Interface
Biophysical Journal, Volume 77, Issue 4, 1 October 1999, Pages 2237-2250
Rikard Owenius, Maria Österlund, Mikael Lindgren, Magdalena Svensson, Ole H. Olsen, Egon Persson, Per-Ola Freskgård and Uno Carlsson
AbstractSite-directed labeling was used to obtain local information on the binding interface in a receptor-ligand complex. As a model we have chosen the specific association of the extracellular part of tissue factor (sTF) and factor VIIa (FVIIa), the primary initiator of the blood coagulation cascade. Different spectroscopic labels were covalently attached to an engineered cysteine in position 140 in sTF, a position normally occupied by a Phe residue previously characterized as an important contributor to the sTF:FVIIa interaction. Two spin labels, IPSL [N-(1-oxyl-2,2,5,5-tetramethyl-3-pyrrolidinyl)iodoacetamide] and MTSSL [(1-oxyl-2,2,5,5-tetramethylpyrroline-3-methyl)methanethiosulfonate], and two fluorescent labels, IAEDANS [5-((((2-iodoacetyl)amino) ethyl)amino)naphthalene-1-sulfonic acid] and BADAN [6-bromoacetyl-2-dimethylaminonaphthalene], were used. Spectral data from electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and fluorescence spectroscopy showed a substantial change in the local environment of all labels when the sTF:FVIIa complex was formed. However, the interaction was probed differently by each label and these differences in spectral appearance could be attributed to differences in label properties such as size, polarity, and/or flexibility. Accordingly, molecular modeling data suggest that the most favorable orientations are unique for each label. Furthermore, line-shape simulations of EPR spectra and calculations based on fluorescence depolarization measurements provided additional details of the local environment of the labels, thereby confirming a tight protein-protein interaction between FVIIa and sTF when the complex is formed. The tightness of this local interaction is similar to that seen in the interior of globular proteins.

Simulation of Nitroxide Electron Paramagnetic Resonance Spectra from Brownian Trajectories and Molecular Dynamics Simulations
Biophysical Journal, Volume 94, Issue 10, 15 May 2008, Pages 3798-3809
Susan C. DeSensi, David P. Rangel, Albert H. Beth, Terry P. Lybrand and Eric J. Hustedt
AbstractA simulated continuous wave electron paramagnetic resonance spectrum of a nitroxide spin label can be obtained from the Fourier transform of a free induction decay. It has been previously shown that the free induction decay can be calculated by solving the time-dependent stochastic Liouville equation for a set of Brownian trajectories defining the rotational dynamics of the label. In this work, a quaternion-based Monte Carlo algorithm has been developed to generate Brownian trajectories describing the global rotational diffusion of a spin-labeled protein. Also, molecular dynamics simulations of two spin-labeled mutants of T4 lysozyme, T4L F153R1, and T4L K65R1 have been used to generate trajectories describing the internal dynamics of the protein and the local dynamics of the spin-label side chain. Trajectories from the molecular dynamics simulations combined with trajectories describing the global rotational diffusion of the protein are used to account for all of the dynamics of a spin-labeled protein. Spectra calculated from these combined trajectories correspond well to the experimental spectra for the buried site T4L F153R1 and the helix surface site T4L K65R1. This work provides a framework to further explore the modeling of the dynamics of the spin-label side chain in the wide variety of labeling environments encountered in site-directed spin labeling studies.

- The outer membrane β-barrel trans-membrane proteins in gram-negative bacteria are folded into the membrane with the aid of polypeptide transport-associated (POTRA) domains. These domains occur, and probably function, as a tandem array situated on the periplasmic side of the outer membrane. Two crystal structures and one NMR study have attempted to define the structure and articulation of the POTRA domains of the Escherichia coli, prototypic Omp85 protein BamA. We have used pulsed electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) to determine the distance and distance distribution between (1-Oxyl-2,2,5,5-tetramethylpyrroline-3-methyl) methanethiosulfonate spin labels (MTSSL), placed across the domain interface of the first two POTRA domains of BamA. Our results show tightly defined interdomain distance distributions that indicate a well-defined domain orientation. Examination of the known structures revealed that none of them fitted the EPR data. A combination of EPR and NMR data was used to generate converged structures with defined domain-domain orientation.

Yoga - The chakra pose connection
Shameem Akthar has trained as yoga Acharya with
the Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Centre, Kerala, and
is a master-trainer in neuro-linguistic psychology.
At a particular point in your practice, you acquire a refined awareness of how one side of your body may be misaligned, or how balancing on one side is more difficult. Awareness of such physical issues crop up, which may be tracked to your own emotional concerns.
At that point in your practice, the awareness of a dominant chakra activation in each pose becomes useful. Being aware of the pose-chakra connection will help you tackle the physical and emotional problems, which concern you in particular.
Chakras touched in poses
Whenever there is talk of chakra therapy, most people talk of blocked chakras. I myself find an overflowing chakra even more troublesome. It is a very subtle subject. Having a regular and dedicated sadhana, will possibly give you more insight than any instructor or therapist ever can.
The ideal way then, when practising a pose, is to learn which chakra is touched in that pose. When your practice is regular, and your eagerness to understand the subject reaches an intoxicating level of involvement in your practice, you will find that this connection becomes very easy to sense.
Poses that involve the mind completely, where it needs to be aware but involuted, work on the third-eye centre (ajna chakra). Interestingly, the laid-back corpse-pose (shavasana), as well as the challenging meditating crane-pose (bakadhyanasana), both engage the centre.
The chest-opening poses work on the heart centre (anahata). Practitioners may weep if an emotional release is facilitated by the pose. Interestingly, when the tears flow they will not be sad tears, but just an overflow, as if something that was locked finds an outlet.
Poses that involve the legs, be they standing balancers or supine ones, work on the base chakra (mooladhara) dealing with basic survival instincts fear and anger.
Poses that engage and strain the neck involve the chakra of self-expression (vishuddhi), which when controlled, leads to peace and purity.
In this fashion, it is easy to locate the chakra involved in each pose. If you feel that you are suffering from either blocked or overflowing chakra, becoming aware of it could mean a major life-transformation. It could also prevent your practice from causing an unintentional downslide.
(Balancing pose, easy version)
Sit with your left palm on the ground. Stretch out legs on the side, the left leg below the right. Fold the left leg lightly, as shown, keeping the edge of the foot on the floor/mat. Push into the left palm, to hoist hips up, as shown, trying to keep the body in a straight line. Look ahead, continuing to breathe normally. If the balance is good, raise the right hand up in the air, as shown (at the ear or overhead). Hold for a few seconds. Shift sides.
Works on the manipura (navel) centre, the core in us. It makes the wrists strong, the spine perfectly aligned, and tones the legs. It is a complete body workout.

Charge Immobilization Caused by Modification of Internal Cysteines in Squid Na Channels Biophysical Journal, Volume 75, Issue 6, 1 December 1998, Pages 2821-2829 Kamran Khodakhah, Alexey Melishchuk and Clay M. Armstrong Abstract We studied the effects of modification of native cysteines present in squid giant axon Na channels with methanethiosulfonates. We find that intracellular, but not extracellular, perfusion of axons with positively charged [(2-trimethylammonium)-ethyl]methanethiosulfonate (MTSET), or 3(triethylammonium)propyl]methanethiosulfonate (MTS-PTrEA) irreversibly reduces sodium ionic (INa) and gating (Ig) currents. The rate of modification of Na channels was dependent on the concentration of the modifying agent and the transmembrane voltage. Hyperpolarized membrane potentials (e.g., −110mV) protected the channels from modification by MTS-PTrEA. In addition to reducing the amplitudes of INa and Ig, MTS-PTrEA also altered their kinetics such that the remaining INa did not appear to inactivate, whereas Ig was made sharper and declined to baseline more quickly. The shape and amplitude of Ig after modification of channels with MTS-PTrEA appeared to be "charge-immobilized," as if the modified channels were inactivated. MTS-PTrEA did not affect INa or Ig when inactivation was removed by internal perfusion of the axon with pronase. In addition, we find that the steady-state inactivation curve of modified Na channels is made much shallower and is markedly shifted to hyperpolarized potentials. The rates of activation, deactivation, or open-state inactivation were not altered in MTS-PTrEA-modified channels. The uncharged sulfhydryl reagent methymethanethiosulfonate (MMTS) did not affect either INa or Ig, but prevented the irreversible effects of MTS-PTrEA or MTSET on Na channels. It is proposed that the positively charged methanethiosulfonates MTS-PTrEA and MTSET modify a native internal cysteine(s) in squid Na channels, and by doing so promote inactivation from closed states, resulting in charge immobilization and reduction of INa.

Block of the Ryanodine Receptor Channel by Neomycin Is Relieved at High Holding Potentials Biophysical Journal, Volume 82, Issue 4, 1 April 2002, Pages 1953-1963 Fiona Mead and Alan J. Williams Abstract In this study we have investigated the actions of the aminoglycoside antibiotic neomycin on K+ conductance in the purified sheep cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) calcium-release channel (RyR). Neomycin induces a concentration- and voltage-dependent partial block from both the cytosolic and luminal faces of the channel. Blocking parameters for cytosolic and luminal block are markedly different. Neomycin has a greater affinity for the luminal site of interaction than the cytosolic site: zero-voltage dissociation constants (Kb(0)) are respectively 210.20±22.80 and 589.70±184.00nM for luminal and cytosolic block. However, neomycin also exhibits voltage-dependent relief of block at holding potentials >+60mV when applied to the cytosolic face and a similar phenomenon may occur with luminal neomycin at high negative holding potentials. These observations indicate that, under appropriate conditions, neomycin is capable of passing through the RyR channel. Abstract | Full Text | PDF (255 kb) |
Determinants of Gating Polarity of a Connexin 32 Hemichannel Biophysical Journal, Volume 87, Issue 2, 1 August 2004, Pages 912-928 Seunghoon Oh, Shira Rivkin, Qingxiu Tang, Vytas K. Verselis and Thaddeus A. Bargiello Abstract There is good evidence supporting the view that the transjunctional voltage sensor (Vj-sensor) of Cx32 and other Group 1 connexins is contained within a segment of the N-terminus that contributes to the formation of the channel pore. We have shown that the addition of negatively charged amino acid residues at several positions within the first 10 amino acid residues reverses the polarity of Vj-gating and proposed that channel closure is initiated by the inward movement of this region. Here, we report that positive charge substitutions of the 2nd, 5th, and 8th residues maintain the negative polarity of Vj-gating. These data are consistent with the original gating model. Surprisingly, some channels containing combinations of positive and/or negative charges at the 2nd and 5th positions display bipolar Vj-gating. The appearance of bipolar gating does not correlate with relative orientation of charges at this position. However, the voltage sensitivity of bipolar channels correlates with the sign of the charge at the 2nd residue, suggesting that charges at this position may have a larger role in determining gating polarity. Taken together with previous findings, the results suggest that the polarity Vj-gating is not determined by the sign of the charge lying closest to the cytoplasmic entry of the channel, nor is it likely to result from the reorientation of an electrical dipole contained in the N-terminus. We further explore the mechanism of polarity determination by utilizing the one-dimensional Poisson-Nernst-Plank model to determine the voltage profile of simple model channels containing regions of permanent charge within the channel pore. These considerations demonstrate how local variations in the electric field may influence the polarity and sensitivity of Vj-gating but are unlikely to account for the appearance of bipolar Vj-gating.

Research Article
P.C. Ruben, J.G. Starkus and M.D. Rayner
Sodium channel activations, measured as the fraction of channels open to peak conductance for different test potentials (F[V]), shows two statistically different slopes from holding potential more positive than -90 mV. A high valence of 4–6e is indicated a test potentials within 35 mV of the apparent threshold potential (circa -65 mV at -85 mV holding potential). However, for test potentials positive to -30 mV, the F(V) curve shows a 2e valence. The F(V) curve for crayfish axon sodium channels at these "depolarized" holding potentials thus closely resembles classic data obtained from other preparations at holding potentials between -80 and -60 mV. In contrast, at holding potentials more negative than -100 mV, the high slope essentially disappears and the F(V) curve follows a single Boltzmann distribution with a valence of approximately 2e at all potentials. Neither the slope of this simple distribution nor its midpoint (-20 mV) was significantly affected by removal of fast inactivation with pronase. The change in F(V) slope, when holding potential is increased from -85 to -120 mV, does not appear to be caused by the contribution of a second channel type. The simple voltage dependence of sodium current found at Vh -120 mV be used by to discriminate between models of sodium channel activation, and rules out models with three particles of equal valence.

What Obama will accomplish with a visit to Myanmar
With the Myanmar visit, President Obama will showcase one of his foreign-policy accomplishments and will underscore a US commitment to supporting Asia's political and economic development.
(Page 2 of 2)
"I really think we have to defer to Aung San Suu Kyi on whether or not it's the right time for this visit," Mr. Lohman says, adding that a list of American leaders of all political stripes have already visited the country to show their support. "If [Senate minority leader] Mitch McConnell can go to Burma, I guess Obama can, too."
Skip to next paragraphIn Myanmar, Obama will sit down with the country's reformist president, Thein Sein, and will also call on Ms. Suu Kyi, who lived for years under house arrest but is now a member of the country's newly elected parliament. Both Obama and Suu Kyi are Nobel laureates.
Obama will be joined in his visit by Secretary Clinton.
But the president's reasons for visiting Myanmar transcend the country's borders. One of the hallmarks of Obama's first-term foreign policy was his "pivot" to Asia. By visiting Myanmar, Obama will be underscoring how the American pivot should not be seen simply in defense and security terms, but as part of a US commitment to supporting and participating in Asia's political and economic development.
The president's "overall message is one of engagement and steadfast American involvement in the region," Lohman says.
The visit will also send a loud message to China: that America intends to promote democracy and economic partnership in the region, even as it encourages peaceful and negotiated settlement of the potentially explosive territorial conflicts China has with several of its neighbors.
After Myanmar, Obama will attend the summit of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) in Cambodia. There, Obama's message should be clear, regional experts say: that America is a partner with staying power, especially while partners in the region deal with the ramifications of an increasingly powerful China.
"In Phnom Penh [at the ASEAN summit], Obama has to focus on the maritime issues involving the South China Sea, and his message has to focus on resolving these claims without resort to coercion," Lohman says.
That may irritate China, which likes to try to convince Washington that, while it's welcome in the region, "There's a new sheriff in town," he adds.
With that in mind, Lohman says, China will take Obama's trip to Myanmar in stride – as long as the United States doesn't try to turn it into something aimed at China and its rising regional role.
"The Chinese don't want to push the US out entirely. They value the stability that a certain US presence helps maintain," he says. "But they do aim ultimately to create a new order in the region – one with a diminished role for the US."

Fast Break: Tim Duncan, Spurs board Celtics to death
Posted By Ben Rohrbach On November 21, 2012 @ 9:52 pm In General | No Comments
The Celtics came within 90 seconds of becoming only the second team in the last 25 years to fail to record an offensive rebound — against the only other team do so. Only the Spurs won when they did it on Jan. 23, 2002. This time around, the C's lost, 112-100.
Rajon Rondo (22 points, 15 assists) did his best to breathe life into a Celtics team seemingly already suffering a Thanksgiving Day tryptophan hangover, contributing to 19 of the C's final 21 points. Brandon Bass broke his string of 19 straight when he mercifully tipped in an offensive rebound with 1:28 remaining.
Paul Pierce (19 points), Kevin Garnett (14 points) and Jeff Green combined for just three rebounds. Meanwhile, Tim Duncan totaled 20 points and 15 boards. Here's what else went wrong:
Glass in session: The Celtics had already been out-rebounded eight times this season, and then proceeded to grab only one rebound in the first six minutes. One rebound. Meanwhile, the Spurs corralled eight. When the first quarter came to a close, San Antonio led 30-27, and Duncan had as many boards as the entire C's roster (7). The Spurs finished the night with a 41-25 rebounding edge.
Open floor: It's not like San Antonio's defense was all that great in the first half, but the C's D was atrocious. The Spurs shot 56.4 percent from the field in the opening 24 minutes, and Manu Ginobili (1-5 FG) was the only one under 50 percent. Long-range shooting has been a particular thorn in the C's side (opponents shooting 37.1 percent from 3), and San Antonio finished a combined 6-of-9 before halftime.
Painting the picture: Through three quarters, the Spurs scored more than half their 82 points in the paint and outscored the Celtics in the key, 44-16. Hence San Antonio's eight-point lead. With 12 minutes remaining, three of their bigs (Duncan, DeJuan Blair, Tiago Splitter) already reached double figures.
JET arrives early: Terry entered the game averaging 15.0 points in 41 career games against the Spurs, and he picked up right he left off in Dallas, making 4-of-5 shots (10 points) in his first 7:30. The rest of the C's started 3-of-9 from the floor, so Terry helped them tread water early. He scored only two points the rest of the way.
In the middle: Pierce came into Wednesday night's contest shooting just 29 percent between 3-23 feet — this from a guy whose signature move is his step-back elbow jumper. Against the Spurs, he found that mid-range stroke, making three of his first four field goals on spinning fadeaway jump shots.
We're going streaking: Well, at least Rondo extended his streak of double-digit assists to 35 games, moving with two games of John Stockton (37) and 11 of Magic Johnson (46). If he keeps it alive against the Spurs on Friday, The Celtics point guard could tie Stockton for the second-longest streak in NBA history on Sunday.

Kennedy named Green Wave MVP
For the first time since John McKissick took control of the Summerville High football program, a kicker has received the Green Waves varsity MVP Award.
Senior punter/kicker David Kennedy was named the MVP for the Summerville High School football team Wednesday evening during the 2013 Green Wave Football Banquet.
Green Wave kicking coach Bryan Jordan, who was himself a SHS kicker, says the team made a good choice in its MVP selection.
David is very disciplined and always eager to receive input, Jordan said. He listens to his coaches and he practices things until he gets them right. When his number is called, he gets the job done.
Kennedy made 50 of the 52 extra-point kicks (96.2 percent) he attempted during the 2013 season. He was 15 of 19 for field goals (78.9 percent) with a long field goal of 45 yards. Some of those kicks were game-winners.
On Nov. 27, Kennedy hit three field goals against Boiling Springs including a 35-yarder with no time remaining on the game clock to lift Summerville to a 29-28 victory that advanced the team to the third round of the playoffs for the first time since 2007.
His punting was also very important for the Green Wave, which finished the season with an 11-3 record after falling in the state semi-finals. Kennedy made 68 punts during the season, averaging 39.1 yards per punt. His longest punt covered 59 yards.
Jordan and McKissick agree Kennedy has a D-1 leg.
I could see him handling both kicking and punting duties at the next level because he is so good at both, Jordan said. He can put kickoffs deep into the end zone and he is consistent on field goals. He also pinned a lot of teams down near the goal line with his punts so I think he has D-1 potential.
Summerville coaches also handed out 10 other team awards during the banquet and honored their all-region athletes as well as the top students on the team. Green Wave cheerleaders and athletic trainers were also recognized during the event.

The Healing Place of Huntington was modeled after the original Healing Place in Louisville, Ky., and is a six- to nine-month treatment center, based on the 12 steps of recovery. According to Adkins, the young facility so far has seen a success rate at five times the national average.
Matt Boggs, coordinator for the Healing Place of Huntington, said he can attest to the effectiveness of the program first hand. Boggs is one of its first graduates and has been sober for two years.
"It's amazing what I get to do today; I get to go out and promote the place that helped save my life," Boggs said. "I think that Putnam County, moving forward with this, is really going to set a precedent for other counties, because if we can't get something on the state level, we must take care of it on a county level."
According to Boggs, there 350 long-term beds in drug treatment facilities across the state -- a number he said is startling in light of the rate of addiction and drug overdose in West Virginia. He said roughly 20 percent of those treated by the agency are already Putnam County residents.
The commission was also approached by members of the West Virginia Farm Bureau and the state's Humane Society Tuesday morning, and has agreed to address the possibility of creating livestock standards for the community to avoid cases of long-term neglect.
Summer Wyatt, state director of the Humane Society, said she would like to see the county create a set of guidelines for employees dealing with animals that will help them better evaluate the condition of cows, horses, sheep and other livestock animals.
"We wanted to just bring up this idea to create a protocol for livestock standards, because in Putnam County, you're lucky enough to have a livestock standards board to help animal control and law enforcement, or even individuals who may have livestock but aren't caring for them properly," Wyatt said.
Last month, four horses were seized from a farm in Buffalo after Putnam sheriff's deputies and animal control responded to calls from concerned neighbors. A veterinarian called the four animals "severely malnourished," and Jon and Gail Cobb of Custer Ridge Road were charged with one count each of animal cruelty.
Terry Dunn, a board member for the Farm Bureau and now the caretaker of one of the rescued horses, said there needs to be greater understanding for the general public in order to avoid more situations like the Buffalo neglect case.
"There are a lot of people who, for lack of a better word, don't understand. Some of these folks, they don't intentionally starve their horses or their cattle -- in their mind, they love these animals," she said. "You and I can look at a horse, and its backbone is sticking up and its tips are sticking out, and think, 'that horse is starved,' but for some reason, these folks can't grasp that."

Ecuador's Volcanoes: The Team Readies for Cayambe Summit Bid
Posted by: Eric Frank, Casey Grom | December 16, 2012
Categories: *Expedition Dispatches *Ecuador
Elevation: 15,300'
Hello, this is Eric Frank and the Ecuador crew checking in from climber's hut here on Cayambe at 15,300'. The sun's just gone down and we had a pretty restful day. We slept late this morning, had a big breakfast, and then climbed for about an hour and a half to get up to the toe of the glacier. We trained for a couple hours, talked about the climb and then came back to have a big dinner. We're hoping to be in bed in the next thirty minutes. And we'll be getting up in the middle of the night to make our attempt to climb Cayambe. So check back tomorrow, hopefully will be giving a call down sometime in the mid morning to early afternoon to let everyone know how things are going. Have a great night.

This is less of a problem, though, than Uglow's inability to write of Losh from any interior perspective. She details a good deal of what Losh did — not really, from this distance, all that much — and, in the few letters that remain, what she thought. Not quite who she was.
