Multi-tasking Broker Fredrik Eklund Sells Art and Condos, Shoots Reality TV All at the Same Time
Art shows at on-the-market penthouses are so common that they have arguably supplanted open houses in many of the city's trendier corners, but art made and sold by the penthouse's listing broker is something new.
Last night Douglas Elliman broker Fredrik Eklund hosted an exhibit of his photography in the penthouse of 50 Lispenard Street. Mr. Eklund told us that all 25 photographs at the event sold. The penthouse, listed for $4.55 million, is still on the market. (Mr. Eklund has the entire six-unit building, which is half sold). Read More

Meet Corri McFadden, VH1's New Fashion Show Reality Star
House of Consignment, VH1's news reality series, follows Corri McFadden, Chicago entrepreneur and fashion lover, as she runs her multimillion dollar business eDrop-Off.
Basically, eDrop-off takes your designer and couture pieces and auctions them off for you on eBay. So if you have Cartier, Chanel and Hermes clogging your closet that you want to pass off for cash (don't we all?), McFadden is your girl. Why not do it yourself and take all the profit, you wonder? Well, sure you could do that, but if you're lazy like us, you've been saying that you're going to purge your closet for months (actually, years). Even more genus, eDrop-Off provides a "Closet Cleanout" service that will help you select which items to keep, toss or hand over.
McFadden herself is no stranger to the "Closet Cleanout," as you'll see in the show. Still, not everything in her wardrobe is up for grabs. "I just got a pair of sequin Dolce & Gabbana pants that I wore to my 30th birthday. They're a no go," she says. "I also have a vintage Rolex Oyster watch that is timeless. And I have some vintage classic Chanel [bracelet] stacks that are not leaving anytime soon."
Check out the trailer for House of Consignment and then catch the premiere on March 21 at 10 pm EST. In the meantime, you can procrastinate about pruning your own pieces by shopping McFadden's favorite looks in our slideshow.

There is something at Alfred for everyone and therefore I love it. The people who don't like Alfred don't try very hard to look for things to be active in.…
I have visited this school 20 times and I cannot wait to attend. Everything about it is so enjoyable, and I cannot wait to be apart of the class of…
As a student in the Art program, the program is very efficient BECAUSE it forces students to teach themselves with guidance. However, the studio spaces are small and the jobs…
This school has very interactive teachers that are always willing to spend the extra time with their students. The small class sizes enables a more focussed and relaxing learning environment.…
The program I am attending is a PsyD in School Psych, and has a very strong reputation. The school is known for a few things, particularly the art programs…
Alfred University is a student-centered comprehensive university offering a remarkable breadth of outstanding programs. It is at once small and complex, rural and globally connected, private and public, undergraduate and graduate, steeped in history yet focused on the future. Alfred's intimate atmosphere fosters the interplay of diverse perspectives and a strong sense of community. The university's personalized approach to education is aimed at enabling all students to grow intellectually, creatively, and personally. Alfred is committed to both teaching and research, to combining technical expertise, artistic creativity and humanistic concerns, and to maintaining academic rigor in a caring environment. Uniting the university community is a common dedication to innovation, open-minded inquiry, and service to society.
Yes I am enjoying my time at Alfred University. Not only does Alfred University have a beautiful campus but they have many school sponsored events and performances.
Read MoreThe students are also very diverse at Alfred, and it is not what I was expecting at all. You'll meet people from all different backgrounds and with all different beliefs. It is neat because the school is very supportive of everyone, and everyone is their own person. Some things I like about Alfred are: The small physical size allows for getting around to be very simple, it has a very relaxed atmosphere, and the students have a say in pretty much everything. There are a few things I dislike about Alfred though, and some of those are: with only 2000 undergrads, it makes it slightly tough to meet new people after the first few months, it rains a lot during the fall and spring and snows all winter, and there is a huge number of football players (which you can interpret in your own way).
Read MoreAlfred works hard to not keep their students crammed into class rooms. For art many of the students get to go to Stony Brook within the first couple months of school.
Read MoreIt is true that Alfred is in the middle of nowhere, and at times may seem remote, but this does not mean that the people here aren't friendly or engaging. Your college experience is what you make of it, and I can say that for the short time I've been at AU I've enjoyed myself.

As another year of Fordham's Excelsior fundraising campaign comes to a close, the Fordham University development team has a message to parents who have given to the campaign—thank you.
Excelsior | Ever Upward | The Campaign for Fordham seeks to raise $500 million to bring Fordham into a new era of preeminence by 2016, its 175th anniversary. Over the last year, Fordham parents gave $7.2 million toward that goal.
While parents are already making a significant financial commitment by paying their children's tuition, Sydney Plant, assistant vice president for annual giving, said that many parents see giving as one more way to support their children.
"Giving is another way for parents to be involved in their children's lives," Plant said. "Many of the parents feel good knowing that they're adding value to their child's community."
Plant said that the financial support of families who are able to give helps Fordham advance its ongoing mission of providing access to higher education for those who are less able to afford it.
"Those who can give create opportunities and scholarships to help support other families who are of greater need," she said.
Annual giving dollars are used to increase opportunities for programs like study abroad, student research opportunities, and global outreach—all the things that give Fordham students a distinct competitive advantage as they apply for jobs and further education.
As a Fordham alumnus and the new assistant director of the Parents Fund, Alex Morr said he learned the value of the role parents play in the Fordham community from first-hand experience.
"My parents are Fordham parents as well," he said. "I'm very much looking forward to working with that group and really seeing the impact they're going to have on campus."
At the leadership level, members of the Parents' Leadership Council also receive special opportunities to be involved in their students' Fordham careers, such as participating in the commencement procession and special receptions.
For more information on giving to Fordham, visit Excelsior | Ever Upward | The Campaign for Fordham.

Alex Rodriguez's Hall of Fame Plaque
It was announced today that Alex Rodriguez will be suspended through the end of the 2014 baseball season due to his use of performance-enhancing drugs (and his reported cover-up of that P.E.D. use — which apparently didn't go so well). While an appeal is inevitable, his cheating-filled legacy appears set — and if he somehow makes it to Cooperstown, we have a pretty good idea what his plaque will look like.

US carrier AT&T slashes cost of Nokia Lumia 900 to $49.99
Nokia and US mobile carrier AT&T have slashed in half the upfront purchase prices on contract for Nokia's flagship Lumia 900 smartphone. The move follows Microsoft's recent announcement that the handset would not be able to receive the upcoming Windows Phone 8 operating system upgrade later this year.
Microsoft confirmed last month that existing Windows Phone handsets, including the entire Nokia Lumia range would not be suitable to run the new mobile OS. Instead, the Redmond-based software giant plans to offer the current generation of Windows Phone devices a halfway-upgrade to Windows Phone 7.8 so owners can take advantage of some of the new features provided by the next generation mobile OS.
The discount comes barely three months after the handset's US launch and means subscribers can get a new Lumia 900 on contract for $49.99, a saving of $50 on the previous retail price. It's unclear if this discount will be passed on to other countries where the flagship smartphone is sold.
Finnish phone maker Nokia played down the notion that the price drop was in response to Microsoft's announcement however. "This move is a normal strategy that is put in place during the lifecycle of most phones," Nokia spokesman Doug Dawson said in a statement to the Wall Street Journal. "It allows a broader consumer base to buy this flagship device at a more accessible price."
Analysts for Liberum Capital speaking with the Telegraph pointed out that Nokia's sales and earnings were on a slippery slope with its already revised Q3 earnings facing further threat. "Windows Phone 8 is likely to depress Nokia's third-quarter smartphone sales further, while also putting pressure on prices and margins. The only hope for the company is that sales can revive subsequently from the fourth quarter [of this year]."
Nokia is expected to post its second quarter earnings on July 19, with industry analysts predicting the company will report a loss in the handset business of around €236m ($288m) for the three-month period.

What an ugly looking phone.
The phone's not too bad..the OS is the real eyesore.
Anything M$oft touches sucked....
There is nothing wrong with the phone and the OS is the icing on the cake. I'm really tired how it has become "cool" to hate Microsoft. Not because I'm a fan boy, but because it reminds me how ignorant people are of the facts during an election year.
I think both OS and phone look great. They are having a hard time attracting developers however.

Lol, awesome comment, and so true. Please create an account 'Guest'
Hating MS has been cool since they bundled IE with windows and pissed off netscape.
And 'slashing' the price? It was $50. Nice choice of words, however exaggerated.
Then put your money where your mouth is and go buy one.
@guest, I already own one.
I've had the iPhone 4, and I currently have a Galaxy S. Let's just say, if I get tired of Android OS, WP8 is next on my list.
Lumia 900 = Windows Phone 7.8 = Dead OS, and old stale app store.
All that at the VERY START of your AT&T 2 year contract. Do we feel screwed or do we feel SCREWED!!!
Yep, I should soon dump my 2 year contract, and I will send the Lumia 900 back to ATT.
They won't get rid of those things, even if they gave them away for paper weight. $50... bunch of thieves.
@guest, I guess you ignore facts too? Not being able to upgrade the os is a much bigger problem on android and people still buy those phones. But as the guest before you said, it has become cool to hate Microsoft. While it is disappointing, you can buy an android phone that will never be able to upgrade the os. Microsoft is doing more than most carriers and manufacturers about the os problem that is so prevalent among android phones. No one cares about facts anymore.

It looks as if iOS 5 may still be coming packed with the rumored Nuance VoiceOver technology even though it wasn't given an official mention during Monday's WWDC keynote.
If you look closely at the image above presented during the iOS 5 portion of the keynote, you'll notice a few interesting tidbits pertaining to iOS VoiceOver integration.
This implies that Apple and Nuance may not have been fully prepared to show off their iOS 5 VoiceOver system in time for the keynote, but that it's still in the pipeline and should be ready to go this fall when iOS 5 drops. It's unclear whether Apple will allow 3rd party apps to take advantage of these new features or if it will only extend to system apps.
What do you think, will we see Nuance/SIRI VoiceOver technology baked-in to iOS 5 or are we just wishful thinking?
Any info on Maps/Navigation?
BoyOhBoy would I like to be able to speak my texts/emails. The iPhone has gotten me so that I have kind of a phobia about making phone calls. I only like communicating via text for some reason. Probably on account of years of shoddy AT&T service...
Praying this comes to pass.
It could be iPhone 5 only. I recall the 3GS launched with voice controls, and the older models didn't get it. There has to be something more "wow" than a dual-core processor.
I'm also expecting to see third party widgets (in the notification drop down) announced.
This wouldn't be the first time that they've held back a major piece for the full release, would it be? Wasn't there something in iOS 4 that wasn't released until it came out?
No, it's not the first time. They didn't mention video at WWDC either because it would've given away the new 3GS.
I really really hope they move forward on voice recognition. Granted, most of the things I envied on Android, such as notifications, cloud sync, etc., have been solved. However, the ability to speak into an Android phone and have it set up voice-guided navigation, for no cost, is HUGE. I will continue to miss that.
VoiceOver is included in iOS5 beta tucked in the Accessibility settings. Haven't played with them yet, but will report back after trying.
Voiceover would be great, navigation would be better coming from android that is one of the most lacking parts about iOS.
It's not like there's a shortage of navigation apps is it?
Why would you want/need an online navigation system baked into the maps.app when you can have offline maps? I've been to enough rural places in the UK were having online only nav would have been useless as the nearer I got to my destination the less likely to have a mobile signal I was therefore rendering it pointless!
None of the navigation apps have voice recognition and that's important because it's hard to input POI's while driving! I sure hope that voice recognition is supported in IOS5!
Ummmm, VoiceOver is screen-reading, not voice control or dictation... even those things listed don't sound like voice control features to me.

Our minds tend towards the creation of categories. The capacity to classify and order is the engine of learning and enquiry. When permitted to go unexamined, it may also be the source of prejudice and injustice.
An important conversation takes place today (Saturday 25 August) on 'The Power of Youth and Football to Heal a Divided City', during Festival season in Edinburgh.
Even those who have little interest in football have probably found themselves occasionally touched by morbid fascination about the dramatic fall from grace (or at least glory and power) of Rangers Football Club -- an iconic part of Glasgow's and Scotland's social history -- and the huge public reaction it has created.

Live Reviews
Holland America's Westerdam
Fort Lauderdale, Florida
January 25-February 1, 2009
An eclectic group of starsRoy Hargrove, Dianne Reeves, Keb' Mo,' James Carter, Poncho Sanchez, Herbie Hancockbrightly shone during the recent Playboy Jazz Cruise on Holland America's Westerdam, out of Fort Lauderdale into the Caribbean. But it was host Marcus Miller who made the voyage an unqualified successnot only for his ingenious music but for the way he kept things running smoothly, seemingly always there for fans and fellow musicians.
During the cruise, there were jazz events at all timesheadliner concerts nightly, 6:30 and 9 p.m., in the large Vista Lounge; later, shows in the Queen's Lounge theater and the intimate Ocean Bar. And jam sessions and party times around the pool on Lido Deck until after midnight.
Best of all, there were plenty opportunities to hear a favorite performer in multiple appearances. During mornings and afternoons, there were presentations on jazz history, Q & A sessions with musicians and Wine Hours, celebrating artist's latest CDs. Of course, cruising is for relaxing and, be assured, there was plenty of that on board and during port stops.
James Moody
For his part, dynamic pianist Eldar displayed jaw-dropping technique as he creatively shaped favoritesa languidly beautiful rendition of "Besame Mucho" and a fast and furious take on Oscar Peterson's "Place St. Pierre." On the latter, he displayed a compendium of stylesfrom bop to stride. Midway in the set, Eldar introduced a selection of originals just recorded with his trio for upcoming release. On these, Armando Gola put down his up-right and picked up an electric bass, while Eldar went back and forth among keyboards, playing off one against the other, exploring new territory with dynamic drummer Ludwig Alonso as compass. A few mainstreamers walked out, but for most, it was a stimulating set, indeed.

Now I'm going to have to watch Matchstick Men again... the only thing I remember about it was a general taste of disappointment.
Now I'm going to have to watch Matchstick Men again... the only thing I remember about it was a general taste of disappointment.
I was, honestly, amazed at Nicolas Cage in Matchstick Men. He was actually, genuinely GOOD in it in a dramatic role that didn't require him to also be goofy.
That, in and of itself, is a good reason to watch that movie.
Yeah, you should. Without spoiling for others, they harnessed his twitchy/schticky tendencies and used them for a personality flaw that his character had. So the scenes where he had to act human(the real acting challenge for him) were very relaxed and natural. It's all about the story though.
Just FYI, but I see that movie on DVD at Blig Lots for $3 pretty often.

Fiesta 1.25 Zetec Se Missfire And Engine Warning Light
Posted 26 January 2013 - 11:34 PM
On removal of plug caps to see which cylinder(s) it is missing on. I noticed the plughs where surrounded by engine oil. You cant see the nut part of the plugh you put a spanner on.
Also the engine sounds no different whichever leads are removed.
If anyone could give any advice it would be much appreciated,

There is an O-ring that seals the spark plug well and keeps oil from leaking into it. As with any valve cover gasket, it will start to leak over time. Sometimes tightening the valve cover bolts will stop the leakage, but more often than not the valve cover gasket, and well seals, will need to be replaced.
Posted 27 January 2013 - 08:47 AM
Thanks for your reply, Im gona have a look in today. Do you reckon the plugs will have been knackered or reuseable?
Im not being tight i dont mind buying new ones, its just i have an assessment at college first thing tomorrow so getting it going for then is a necessity!!!
Thanks again for your advise,
Posted 27 January 2013 - 02:54 PM
Try giving the bolts a nip up first.
Posted 27 January 2013 - 06:28 PM
Problem was still no better and i diagnosed it down to being the coil, after an hour on the phone i finally found a scrapyard open sundays for a coil, so its now back up and runing (until the 2nd hand coil packs up!)

Students give back during move-out weekPosted on Friday, Jun. 18, 2010For Santa Clara students, the first few weeks of June often bring the tragic collision of warm weather and finals. Mix in move out, and June becomes an all-out sprint to finish classes, catch up with friends, take advantage of sunny days and pack up your life.

Resources for Entertainment Education Content Developers
Hepatitis B (Youth Issue)
What's the Problem?
Are you a writer or producer working on a current TV or film project? Contact the program for technical assistance.
Hepatitis B is a disease caused by the hepatitis B virus (HBV). Although half of all people infected with HBV have no symptoms, others experience loss of appetite, tiredness, pain in muscles and joints, stomachache, diarrhea, vomiting, and yellowing of the skin and eyes (jaundice). HBV infection can also cause chronic (long-term) disease that can lead to cirrhosis (scarring) of the liver, liver cancer, and death. The younger a person is when first infected, the more likely that person is to develop chronic hepatitis B.
HBV is transmitted by direct contact with the blood or body fluids of an infected person. A person can become infected by having sex with an infected person, by sharing needles or "works" when "shooting" illegal drugs, through contaminated needle sticks or sharps exposures on the job, or from an infected mother to her baby during birth. Approximately 15% of people who have acute (newly acquired) hepatitis B cannot identify a source for their infection.
The number of new infections per year has declined from an average of 260,000 in the 1980s to about 79,000 in 1999. An estimated 1.25 million people in the United States have chronic HBV infection and have an increased risk for cirrhosis and liver cancer. About 11,000 people are hospitalized and 5,000 deaths occur each year due to hepatitis B or HBV-related chronic liver disease.
Who's at Risk?
People infected with HBV in the United States usually became infected as young adults or adolescents. Adolescents often go undiagnosed because, on average, they visit a health care provider less than once a year. You are at risk for HBV if you
- have sex with multiple partners and don't use condoms correctly and consistently, or if you have a sexually transmitted disease;
- are a man who has sex with a man;
- have sex with an infected person;
- shoot illegal drugs;
- are a household contact of a person with chronic HBV infection;
- are an infant born to an infected mother;
- are from an area of the world with high rates of HBV infection;
- are a healthcare or public safety worker; or
- are a chronic hemodialysis patient.
Can It Be Prevented?
Yes. Hepatitis B vaccine is a safe, effective vaccine and is the only vaccine currently available that can prevent a form of cancer (HBV-related liver cancer). The most common side effect of vaccination is soreness at the site of injection.
The Bottom Line
Hepatitis B can result in chronic infection, increased risk for cirrhosis, liver cancer, and death. The hepatitis B vaccine, usually given in a three-dose series, is safe, effective and prevents HBV infection. The vaccine is recommended routinely for all infants at birth. If the vaccine is not given at birth, the vaccine should be administered as soon as possible. All infants, children, and adolescents 0 to 18 years of age should be protected against hepatitis B by receiving the hepatitis B vaccine series. Adults at increased risk for hepatitis B should also get vaccinated.
Case Example
Jack, the popular captain of the football team at a suburban high school, starts feeling tired all the time. He has stomach pains, his muscles and joints ache, and finally, he feels so bad that he tells his coach he can't make practice. He figures it's the flu, but when the symptoms persist, his coach makes him go to the doctor. As part of a complete physical exam, the doctor asks Jack if he has ever had unprotected sex. Hesitantly, he admits that he doesn't always use a condom. The doctor orders several blood tests, including those for sexually transmitted diseases and a hepatitis panel. A week later, Jack returns to the doctor and is told he has acute hepatitis B. The doctor must report the case to the local health department and advises Jack to inform his sex partners. Jack refuses at first, but after the doctor explains how serious hepatitis B can be, he finally musters up the courage. After an investigation by the health department, it is found that one of Jack's sex partners has chronic hepatitis B, of which she was unaware. Jack misses several weeks of school. Fortunately, blood tests reveal that his body has cleared the virus and he is not chronically infected with HBV. His infected sex partner is referred to her doctor for a medical evaluation and possible antiviral therapy for her chronic HBV infection.

Scottie Brooks is far from home, but pairing up with Jeremy Lange has been worth the trip. The guys have been teasing the locals with their shirtless jogs around town but now they turn their attention to each other. Scottie takes Jeremyââ¬â¢s dick in his mouth and gets it stiff in seconds. He sucks away until he turns Jeremy around to rim his hole. Then itââ¬â¢s Scottieââ¬â¢s turn to be indulged. He folds himself up like a pretzel and pulls his legs wide apart, begging Jeremy to tongue his tight hole. Jeremy licks away leaving Scottie begging for more. The two finish by jacking themselves off to climax.

BEIRUT: AC Milan have reportedly made Liverpool goalkeeper Pepe Reina one of their major acquisition targets this summer.
The Italian side are said to be keen to replace the 35-year-old incumbent keeper Christian Abbiati, with Milan looking to strengthen their defense after losing the Serie A title to Juventus last season.
Reina is known to have great affection for both the club and the city of Liverpool, but a club with Milan's reputation may turn his head.
Since joining Liverpool in 2005, the Spaniard contributed greatly to his club's winning of the FA and League Cups, and was part of the Spanish squad that won both Euro 2008 and the World Cup in 2010.
The 29-year-old Reina is renowned as one of the best goalies in the world, but an underwhelming campaign last season at Anfield may cause the Reds to look favorably upon a potential offer for him.
The Daily Mail reports that Reina, who is currently away with the Spanish team at Euro 2012, has yet to meet new Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers.
Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has allegedly ruled out the chances of star striker Robin van Persie leaving for Italian champions Juventus, believing the player will likely stay at the Gunners.
Van Persie has one year left on his current deal with the north London club, and held preliminary talks with Wenger and Arsenal CEO Ivan Gazidis prior to heading out for The Netherlands' disastrous Euro 2012 campaign.
Despite having agreed that neither the club nor the player would speak to the media until the Arsenal captain's future has been resolved, Wenger is quoted by Italian daily CorriereDello Sport as claiming that a deal with Juventus is unlikely.
"I am certain that Robin will remain with us," Wenger said.
"If you want to know why I am so certain that Robin will remain with us, it's because there is no reason in this world why a great player like Van Persie should go and play for you, in Italy and in your competition.
"Your football [Serie A] is at an inferior level to the Premier League."
The Guardian reports that Tottenham have held face-to-face negotiations with Andre Villas-Boas about replacing Harry Redknapp, and are willing to offer him the position despite ongoing talks with former England boss Fabio Capello.
Villas-Boas' agent met with Spurs representatives last week to articulate what they were looking for, but the club have now speeded up the process by meeting with the manager directly.
The Guardian claims that it has become clear that Spurs chairman Daniel Levy considers Villas-Boas to be the right man to lead Tottenham to their first championship since 1961.
The Portuguese manager has been out of work since March after being sacked by Blues owner Roman Abramovich following a dismal run of form.
West Ham have increased their offer for Norwich striker Grant Holt and are hopeful that a deal will be concluded soon.
After the Hammers' opening bid of 3 million pounds was rejected, the Upton Park side upped the fee to 5.5 million pounds.
Holt was the second highest English goal scorer in the Premier League last season as newly promoted Norwich finished the season in a respectable 12th place.
Since then, manager Paul Lambert has left for Aston Villa, and Holt has declared his intention to leave the East Anglian club.
Malaga have had their bid for Milan's Robinho rejected, with the Rossoneri telling the Spanish side to significantly increase their offer.
Italian daily Sporta Italia reports that Malaga's opening offer for the forward fell well short of the player's valuation, with Milan willing to do business for around 20 million euros.
The former Man City striker looks likely to leave the Italian giants as the club seek to balance their finances.
Milan's financial woes have been widely reported, but the club are determined not to sell their assets on the cheap, having rejected an offer from PSG for Thiago Silva just last week.
Milan striker Antonio Cassano has praised the club for refusing to sanction Silva's move to France, conceding that he would have reconsidered his own future with Milan had the player left Italy.
"Mr. Berlusconi is great," Cassano said of the team's owner, Italian politician and media tycoon Silvio Berlusconi.
"If he decides that we must win, we win. And [from] his love of AC Milan, he has made a choice of heart and I am happy that Thiago has remained."

Time-Resolved Fluorescence Emission Measurements of Photosystem I Particles of Various Cyanobacteria: A Unified Compartmental Model Biophysical Journal, Volume 81, Issue 1, 1 July 2001, Pages 407-424 Bas Gobets, Ivo H.M. van Stokkum, Matthias Rögner, Jochen Kruip, Eberhard Schlodder, Navassard V. Karapetyan, Jan P. Dekker and Rienk van Grondelle Abstract Photosystem I (PS-I) contains a small fraction of chlorophylls (Chls) that absorb at wavelengths longer than the primary electron donor P700. The total number of these long wavelength Chls and their spectral distribution are strongly species dependent. In this contribution we present room temperature time-resolved fluorescence data of five PS-I core complexes that contain different amounts of these long wavelength Chls, i.e., monomeric and trimeric photosystem I particles of the cyanobacteria Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803, Synechococcus elongatus, and Spirulina platensis, which were obtained using a synchroscan streak camera. Global analysis of the data reveals considerable differences between the equilibration components (3.4–15ps) and trapping components (23–50ps) of the various PS-I complexes. We show that a relatively simple compartmental model can be used to reproduce all of the observed kinetics and demonstrate that the large kinetic differences are purely the result of differences in the long wavelength Chl content. This procedure not only offers rate constants of energy transfer between and of trapping from the compartments, but also well-defined room temperature emission spectra of the individual Chl pools. A pool of red shifted Chls absorbing around 702nm and emitting around 712nm was found to be a common feature of all studied PS-I particles. These red shifted Chls were found to be located neither very close to P700 nor very remote from P700. In Synechococcus trimeric and Spirulina monomeric PS-I cores, a second pool of red Chls was present which absorbs around 708nm, and emits around 721nm. In Spirulina trimeric PS-I cores an even more red shifted second pool of red Chls was found, absorbing around 715nm and emitting at 730nm. Abstract | Full Text | PDF (278 kb) |
Ultrafast Transient Absorption Studies on Photosystem I Reaction Centers from Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. 1. A New Interpretation of the Energy Trapping and Early Electron Transfer Steps in Photosystem I Biophysical Journal, Volume 85, Issue 6, 1 December 2003, Pages 3899-3922 Marc G. Müller, Jens Niklas, Wolfgang Lubitz and Alfred R. Holzwarth Abstract The energy transfer and charge separation kinetics in core Photosystem I (PSI) particles of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii has been studied using ultrafast transient absorption in the femtosecond-to-nanosecond time range. Although the energy transfer processes in the antenna are found to be generally in good agreement with previous interpretations, we present evidence that the interpretation of the energy trapping and electron transfer processes in terms of both kinetics and mechanisms has to be revised substantially as compared to current interpretations in the literature. We resolved for the first time i), the transient difference spectrum for the excited reaction center state, and ii), the formation and decay of the primary radical pair and its intermediate spectrum directly from measurements on open PSI reaction centers. It is shown that the dominant energy trapping lifetime due to charge separation is only 6–9ps, i.e., by a factor of 3 shorter than assumed so far. The spectrum of the first radical pair shows the expected strong bleaching band at 680nm which decays again in the next electron transfer step. We show furthermore that the early electron transfer processes up to ∼100ps are more complex than assumed so far. Several possibilities are discussed for the intermediate redox states and their sequence which involve oxidation of P700 in the first electron transfer step, as assumed so far, or only in the second electron transfer step, which would represent a fundamental change from the presently assumed mechanism. To explain the data we favor the inclusion of an additional redox state in the electron transfer scheme. Thus we distinguish three different redox intermediates on the timescale up to 100ps. At this level no final conclusion as to the exact mechanism and the nature of the intermediates can be drawn, however. From comparison of our data with fluorescence kinetics in the literature we also propose a reversible first charge separation step which has been excluded so far for open PSI reaction centers. For the first time an ultrafast 150-fs equilibration process, occurring among exciton states in the reaction center proper, upon direct excitation of the reaction center at 700nm, has been resolved. Taken together the data call for a fundamental revision of the present understanding of the energy trapping and early electron transfer kinetics in the PSI reaction center. Due to the fact that it shows the fastest trapping time observed so far of any intact PSI particle, the PSI core of C. reinhardtii seems to be best suited to further characterize the electron transfer steps and mechanisms in the reaction center of PSI.

Decay Kinetics and Quantum Yields of Fluorescence in Photosystem I from Synechococcus elongatus with P700 in the Reduced and Oxidized State: Are the Kinetics of Excited State Decay Trap-Limited or Transfer-Limited? Biophysical Journal, Volume 79, Issue 2, 1 August 2000, Pages 992-1007 Martin Byrdin, Ingo Rimke, Eberhard Schlodder, Dietmar Stehlik and Theo A. Roelofs Abstract Transfer and trapping of excitation energy in photosystem I (PS I) trimers isolated from Synechococcus elongatus have been studied by an approach combining fluorescence induction experiments with picosecond time-resolved fluorescence measurements, both at room temperature (RT) and at low temperature (5K). Special attention was paid to the influence of the oxidation state of the primary electron donor P700. A fluorescence induction effect has been observed, showing a ∼12% increase in fluorescence quantum yield upon P700 oxidation at RT, whereas at temperatures below 160K oxidation of P700 leads to a decrease in fluorescence quantum yield (∼50% at 5K). The fluorescence quantum yield for open PS I (with P700 reduced) at 5K is increased by ∼20-fold and that for closed PS I (with P700 oxidized) is increased by ∼10-fold, as compared to RT. Picosecond fluorescence decay kinetics at RT reveal a difference in lifetime of the main decay component: 34±1ps for open PS I and 37±1ps for closed PS I. At 5K the fluorescence yield is mainly associated with long-lived components (lifetimes of 401ps and 1.5ns in closed PS I and of 377ps, 1.3ns, and 4.1ns in samples containing ∼50% open and 50% closed PS I). The spectra associated with energy transfer and the steady-state emission spectra suggest that the excitation energy is not completely thermally equilibrated over the core-antenna-RC complex before being trapped. Structure-based modeling indicates that the so-called red antenna pigments (A708 and A720, i.e., those with absorption maxima at 708nm and 720nm, respectively) play a decisive role in the observed fluorescence kinetics. The A720 are preferentially located at the periphery of the PS I core-antenna-RC complex; the A708 must essentially connect the A720 to the reaction center. The excited-state decay kinetics turn out to be neither purely trap limited nor purely transfer (to the trap) limited, but seem to be rather balanced. Abstract | Full Text | PDF (236 kb) |

The excitation transport and trapping kinetics of core antenna-reaction center complexes from photosystem I of wild-type Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 were investigated under annihilation-free conditions in complexes with open and closed reaction centers. For closed reaction centers, the long-component decay-associated spectrum (DAS) from global analysis of absorption difference spectra excited at 660nm is essentially flat (maximum amplitude <10−5 absorbance units). For open reaction centers, the long-time spectrum (which exhibits photobleaching maxima at ∼680 and 700nm, and an absorbance feature near 690nm) resembles one previously attributed to (P700+ - P700). For photosystem I complexes excited at 660nm with open reaction centers, the equilibration between the bulk antenna and far-red chlorophylls absorbing at wavelengths >700nm is well described by a single DAS component with lifetime 2.3ps. For closed reaction centers, two DAS components (2.0 and 6.5ps) are required to fit the kinetics. The overall trapping time at P700 (∼24ps) is very nearly the same in either case. Our results support a scenario in which the time constant for the P700→A0 electron transfer is 9–10ps, whereas the kinetics of the subsequent A0→A1 electron transfer are still unknown.

Hoops season kicks off tonight — with the champs
Published on Fri, Nov 4, 2011
Read More
Even though I could care less (or is it couldn't care less?) about the non-existent NBA season, I do enjoy hoops.
Other hardcourt fans can get their basketball "jones" fulfilled starting Saturday when the Peninsula College men — yes, the NWAACC defending champions — kick off their exhibition schedule at 5 p.m. against the Blue Angel All Stars.
Peninsula sees a bunch of returning players from that champion squad, plus five interesting adds to the squad. See a brief description below, provided by the P.C. staff.
P.C. coach Lance Von Vogt says he's pretty tired of just practicing.
"I'm excited to see our guys play against someone in a jersey that doesn't say Peninsula across the chest," Von Vogt said.
"We only have our base offense and defense in at this point, but it will give us the opportunity to see where we stand before we begin adding new components to what we do."
As for prospects for the year, the Peninsula coach is understatedly optimistic.
"I believe the fans will really enjoy watching this team play because of its quickness and athleticism," Von Vogt said.
Pirate fans will recognize these returning Pirates:
#0 — DeShaun Freeman, forward, 6-7 and 215, runner-up for MVP as a
freshman, 16 points per game, 10 rebounds, 2.5 blocks — a "freak" athlete, skilled
#22 — Sam Waller, point guard, 5-10 and 180, second team all-league as
a freshman, 13.5 ppg, four assists and two per game — tough and clutch
#1 — Djuan Smith, guard, 6-2 and 195, averaging 15 ppg, four ppg as freshman before tearing his ACL after just three games, returns on medical hardship as freshman— an excellent athlete, driver
#5 — Daniel Sims, point guard, 5-11 and 175, greyshirted — very good
athlete, good vision, looking for breakout freshman campaign
#3 — Dudley Ewell, guard/forward, 6-4 and 185, redshirt transfer last year — good point forward who is an all-around player, strong athlete
#14 — Tim Friday, guard, 6-4 and 180, reserve on last year's squad — solid all-around "glue" player, will help this year's team
#15 — Chris Buchanan, guard, 6-2 and 185, reserve on last year's squad — a good three-point shooter
#2 — Antonio Stevenson, guard, 6-1 and 180, redshirt in 2010-11, Port Angeles High product — tough, defensive-minded guard who can score in spots, looking for a solid freshman campaign
#33 — Anthony Crouts, guard, 5-11, a walk-on who was team manager last season — good athlete and perimeter defender
Here are the newcomers:
#20 — J.T. Terrell, guard, 6-3 and 175, transfer from Wake Forest who averaged 11 ppg as freshman — explosive scorer from the basket all the way to three-point line
#12 — Tyler Funk, point guard, 6-1 and 190 — great court vision and feel for the game, can shoot, a floor general
#10 — Curtis Stewart, small forward, 6-4 and 175, freshman from El Dorado High in Las Vegas — a super athlete, energy, defender
#23 — Corey Clement, small forward, 6-4 and 200, attended Spring Valley High in Las Vegas — a very good glue player, tough, can shoot a little, rebounds well, finishes well around goal,
#32 — Phillip Jackson, center, 6-9 and 215 — a very good athlete that can run and finish around basket, can hit jumper to 17 feet, a natural shot blocker
Check out a story about Terrell in the coming weeks in the Gazette as I look at both P.C. hoops programs, plus (of course) the Sequim High winter sports programs.
Alas, I will have to miss Saturday's extravaganza as I'm covering the SHS football playoff game that night in Poulsbo.
For those who aren't interested in leaving the Peninsula for the Wolves' playoff run, the P.C. gym isn't a bad option. Check out the defending champs.

Once people reach their 50s, they finally see retirement on the horizon. They start envisioning that time when they can stop going to work and instead spend their days on the golf course, on the beach or with their families. Yet many people have not saved nearly enough for retirement by the time they are 50. A recent survey by the Employee Benefit Research Institute, or EBRI, found that 60% of workers born between 1946 and 1964 have less than $100,000 for retirement. In fact, 40% have saved less than $25,000.
24/7 Wall St. interviewed retirement-related experts from brokerage firms, banks, retirement advocacy groups and independent financial advisers. With their help, 24/7 identified the eight actions you should take if you have not prepared to retire.
Financial advisers generally recommend people begin saving for retirement starting in their 20s to take full advantage of compounding interest. Although the financial advisers who spoke to 24/7 Wall St. say it is very hard to give concrete estimates on how much should be allocated toward equities and fixed-income investments, they say it is best to cut risk as one approaches a target retirement age.
Not saving up enough for retirement used to be less of a problem. Workers in previous generations often received pensions from their employers, allowing retirees to know exactly how much money they would get once retired. But employers have increasingly shifted that responsibility onto the employees through 401k and other defined-contribution plans.
These days, notes Joe Ready, the executive vice president for retirement at Wells Fargo, people get married and have children later in life than previous generations did. This means it is increasingly hard to save for retirement during the 40s and 50s because people still face heavy financial obligations -- they are paying off their mortgage, sending their children to college and so on.
The fact that many current retirees are living off pensions has conditioned younger generations to think their retirement might be the same, says Lule Demmissie, the managing director of retirement for TD Ameritrade. "Face it," Demmissie says, "your retirement isn't your parents' retirement."
Demmissie notes that people in retirement today are working until a later age and finding cheaper housing, as they no longer can count on a pension that was once provided to employees. She also points out that while in the past many people have never saved enough for retirement, the problem has become worse since the financial crisis took hold.
- Calculator: How much will your 401k provide?
By the time you reach age 50, you should have roughly four times your annual income built up in retirement, according to Jean Setzfand, the vice president for financial security at AARP.The best way to reach that goal is to sock away money, starting in your 20s. But if you are well behind on your goals by the time you reach your 50s, all hope is not lost.
These are the eight things to do if you have not planned for retirement.
No. 1: Reassess life priorities
Part of reassessing priorities is ensuring you have a plan in place. People should have a retirement plan when they are significantly younger than 50, yet the EBRI finds that only 42% of workers of all ages have a retirement plan.
If, at the age of 50, people find themselves inadequately prepared for their dream retirement, they should start by looking at the future, Setzfand advises. "The first thing people should do is consider, 'What do I want to do with the rest of my life?'" The answer to that question will help decide what actions need to be taken, she explains. Before moving forward, it is important to ask such questions as "Do I really need that second house in Florida?" or "Can I afford to start a trust fund for my grandkids?"
People need to consider how much they are willing and able to fund their children's college education. Setzfand notes that many parents in their 50s will foot most or all of their children's college bill to make sure their children don't end up with debt early in life. However, she cautions people to be careful and make sure they have enough money to build and sustain their own retirement nest egg. After all, you can't borrow to fund your golden years.
No. 2: Take advantage of increased contribution limits
If you are late saving for retirement, you may need an extra boost to get closer to your goals. Once people reach 50, the amount of money they can contribute annually to their 401k and their IRA increases from $17,000 to $22,500 and from $5,000 to $6,000, respectively. Employees should take advantage of these higher contribution limits if possible, since contributions to these plans are often tax-deductible.
Plus, many employers match contributions up to a certain amount, meaning that employees are forgoing free money if they do not contribute enough to get the maximum employer match. "If you have access to a 401k, jump into it with two feet," Ready says.
