Tomographic 3D Reconstruction of Quick-Frozen, Ca-Activated Contracting Insect Flight Muscle Cell, Volume 99, Issue 4, 12 November 1999, Pages 421-431 Kenneth A Taylor, Holger Schmitz, Mary C Reedy, Yale E Goldman, Clara Franzini-Armstrong, Hiroyuki Sasaki, Richard T Tregear, Kate Poole, Carmen Lucaveche, Robert J Edwards, Li Fan Chen, Hanspeter Winkler and Michael K Reedy Summary Motor actions of myosin were directly visualized by electron tomography of insect flight muscle quick-frozen during contraction. In 3D images, active crossbridges are usually single myosin heads, bound preferentially to actin target zones sited midway between troponins. Active attached bridges (∼30% of all heads) depart markedly in axial and azimuthal angles from Rayment's rigor acto-S1 model, one-third requiring motor domain (MD) tilting on actin, and two-thirds keeping rigor contact with actin while the light chain domain (LCD) tilts axially from ∼105° to ∼70°. The results suggest the MD tilts and slews on actin from weak to strong binding, followed by swinging of the LCD through an ∼35° axial angle, giving an ∼13 nm interaction distance and an ∼4–6 nm working stroke.

Orientational Changes of Crossbridges During Single Turnover of ATP Biophysical Journal, Volume 84, Issue 4, 1 April 2003, Pages 2450-2459 J. Borejdo and I. Akopova Abstract Muscle contraction results from rotation of actin-bound myosin crossbridges. Crossbridges consist of the globular N-terminal catalytic domain and the α-helical C-terminal regulatory domain containing the essential and regulatory light chains. The essential light chain exists in two isoforms, of which the larger one has a 41-amino acid extension piece added at the N-terminus. The catalytic domain is responsible for binding to actin and for setting the stage for the main force-generating event, which is a "swing" of the regulatory domain. We measured the kinetics of the swing associated with the turnover of a single molecule of ATP. Muscle was labeled at the regulatory domain by replacing native essential or regulatory light chain with fluorescent adducts. The rotations were measured by the anisotropy of fluorescence originating from ∼400 crossbridges residing in a small volume defined by a confocal aperture of a microscope. The crossbridges were synchronized by rapid photogeneration of a stoichiometric amount of ATP. The rotations reflected dissociation from thin filaments followed by a slow reattachment. The dissociation was the same for each light chain (halftime ∼120ms) but the rate of reattachment depended on the type of light chain. The halftimes were 920±50ms and 660±100ms for isoforms 1 and 3 of the essential light chain, respectively. The reason that the lifetimes were so long was creation of a small amount of ATP, enough only for a single turnover of crossbridges. A model was constructed that quantitized this effect. After accounting for the slowdown, the halftimes of dissociation and attachment were 34 and 200ms, respectively. Abstract | Full Text | PDF (515 kb) |
Approximate Model of Cooperative Activation and Crossbridge Cycling in Cardiac Muscle Using Ordinary Differential Equations Biophysical Journal, Volume 95, Issue 5, 1 September 2008, Pages 2368-2390 John Jeremy Rice, Fei Wang, Donald M. Bers and Pieter P. de Tombe Abstract We develop a point model of the cardiac myofilament (MF) to simulate a wide variety of experimental muscle characterizations including Force-Ca relations and twitches under isometric, isosarcometric, isotonic, and auxotonic conditions. Complex MF behaviors are difficult to model because spatial interactions cannot be directly implemented as ordinary differential equations. We therefore allow phenomenological approximations with careful consideration to the relationships with the underlying biophysical mechanisms. We describe new formulations that avoid mean-field approximations found in most existing MF models. To increase the scope and applicability of the model, we include length- and temperature-dependent effects that play important roles in MF responses. We have also included a representation of passive restoring forces to simulate isolated cell shortening protocols. Possessing both computational efficiency and the ability to simulate a wide variety of muscle responses, the MF representation is well suited for coupling to existing cardiac cell models of electrophysiology and Ca-handling mechanisms. To illustrate this suitability, the MF model is coupled to the Chicago rabbit cardiomyocyte model. The combined model generates realistic appearing action potentials, intracellular Ca transients, and cell shortening signals. The combined model also demonstrates that the feedback effects of force on Ca binding to troponin can modify the cytosolic Ca transient. Abstract | Full Text | PDF (469 kb) |

Research Article
S.F. Fan, M.M. Dewey, D. Colflesh and B. Chu
Department of Anatomical Sciences, State University of New York at Stony Brook 11794.
With the dynamic light scattering method, we have shown that calcium ions increase the high-frequency internal motions of isolated thick filaments of Limulus striated muscle in the presence of ATP (Kubota, K., B. Chu, Shih-fang Fan, M.M. Dewey, P. Brink, and D. Colflesh. J. Mol. Biol. 1983. 166:329 and Fan, S.-f., M.M. Dewey, D. Colflesh, B. Gaylinn, R. Greguski, and B. Chu. Biophys. J. 1985. 47:809). If ATP is removed from the suspending medium, an increase of high-frequency internal motions also has been observed with characteristics different from those of filaments suspended in a medium containing ATP and calcium ions. These internal motions appear whether calcium ions are present or not and are suppressed by trifluoperazine (TFP). The motions differ from the calcium ion-induced motions in that (a) an energy supply is not required; (b) they are insensitive to heat treatment (42 degrees C, 10 min) and (c) they are also insensitive to phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride which blocks the motions in the presence of ATP and calcium ions (Fan, Shih-fang, M.M. Dewey, D. Colflesh, B. Gaylinn, R. Greguski, and B. Chu. 1985. Biochim. Biophys. Acta. 827:101). Electron micrographs of negatively stained thick filaments in an ATP-free medium show that the majority of crossbridges extend out from the backbone of the filament and optical diffraction patterns from these filaments lack layer lines arising from the crossbridges. The flexibility of the thick filaments suspended in ATP-free media increases.

Yankees with Rob Abruzzese
Bronx Baseball Daily
Quick notes before starting:
By the way, be sure to go to the left side of this
screen and check out all the Twins blogs today. A lot of passionate Twins fans/bloggers
have put in a ton of work in anticipation of this series, so check out some
other twins blogs today.
Be sure to check out last
night's SethSpeaks.net Weekly Minnesota Twins podcast. The first guest
was Twins minor league pitcher Kane Holbrooks,
who had a tremendous season between Beloit, Ft. Myers and even made a start for
the New Britain Rockcats. We were then joined by Robby
Incmikoski from Fox Sports North. He
talked a little about his job, some of the Twins players, the manager and the
state of the Twins going into the playoffs. He did a great job and hopefully
we'll be able to have him on the show more in the offseason.
The Twins will take the 30th overall
draft pick in next year's MLB Draft thanks to having the fourth best
record in baseball this year.
Trade Rumors posted the final update of Eddie Bajek's reverse-engineered Elias rankings, and it
showed that the Twins
have three Type A Free Agents and four Type B free
agents. Carl Pavano and Matt Guerrier are Type A's, and so is Jason Kubel, although the Twins have an
easy-decision-to-pick-up-$5.25 million option for next year. The four Type B
free agents are Brian Fuentes, Orlando Hudson, Jon Rauch and
Jesse Crain. I'm sure once we get to the offseason,
we'll have plenty more to say about that.
night, the TwinsCentric guys will be at Park Tavern
in St. Louis Park, watching the Twins game which starts at 7:30 central time.
Stop by! More information to come.
Today is the day that Twins fans have been waiting for much longer than
just the three days since the season came to an end. The playoffs are upon us
and with it another opportunity to face the Yankees. Today I have for you an
interview with Yankees blogger and fellow Baseball Bloggers Alliance
member, Rob Abruzzese, from Bronx Baseball Daily. It is a
tremendous blog on the Yankees. So if you want the other perspective throughout
this series, be sure to check out his site for great analysis and frequent
Rob was kind enough to ask me to answer several Twins questions for him
and his site (which you can
find here), and today he was kind enough to answer questions for us
about the Yankees and this series. Thank you to Rob, and Enjoy! Please
feel free to comment below.
SethSpeaks: I think a lot of Twins fans were
hoping to get to face the Rays in the first round of the playoffs, hope that
Cliff Lee could beat the Yankees and help the Twins toward the World Series.
Meanwhile, I think it's fair to say that the Yankees and their fans preferred
to play the Twins. What are your thoughts on the way the season ended for the
Yankees and what it means going into the playoffs?
Rob Abruzzese: There is no denying the end of the season was ugly for
the Yankees. That said, this is a veteran team that
obviously has a good amount of playoff experience. They ran into a tough
schedule at the end and didn't come out looking pretty, but they have been
dealing with a fair amount of injuries and manager Joe Girardi
refused to over-tax his bullpen. In the last couple of weeks though Brett
Gardner, wrist, Nick Swisher, knee, and Mark Teixeira, thumb, have gotten a
good amount of rest and should be closer to 100 percent.
It's hard to argue that Girardi wasn't managing to
win every game, but now it's the playoffs and this is what the team has been
focused on since spring training. They're here, they're healthy, and I think
they're ready to play. The Twins are a very good team that should be respected
so I can't guarantee the Yankees will win, but it won't be because they are not
SethSpeaks: How can you explain the Yankees dominance of the Twins in the
last several years?
Rob Abruzzese: I
think it's been pitching more than anything else. In 2003 the Yankees beat the
Twins biggest threat in Johan Santana and in 2004 they stole took advantage of
a weak staff around him and got lucky in game no. 4. Last
season they just didn't have the the horses to match
up against the Yankees staff who was red hot last October.
This time around I think the Twins have one of their better chances to win. To
me the key is Brian Duensing is the key to this
series. Francisco Liriano obviously has top of the
line stuff and can even beat CC Sabathia if he's on.
Carl Pavano can go either way and a lot of that rests
on how good Andy Pettitte can be. The big game will
be game no. 3. If Duensing can pitch as well as he
did down the stretch and beat Phil Hughes then the Twins have a big advantage
in taking this series. Duensing was very impressive
down the line, but in my mind he's a big question mark. He's young and inexperienced, can he backup his strong season in October?
SethSpeaks: What is different about the Yankees since last year's ALDS?
Rob Abruzzese: The
biggest and most obvious difference is A.J. Burnett. He was instrumental in
helping the Yankees to win the 2009 World Series and he's basically been crap
this season. The Yankees are lucky because Phil Hughes has been so big for them
this season. Hughes had trouble in October last season though so there
certainly are question marks surrounding him, but then again even when Burnett
was pitching well there were always question marks surrounding him.
The Yankees are also a bit older. Derek Jeter had one of his best years in 2009
and has followed that up with his worst in 2010. He finished up the last couple
of weeks strong, but at age 36 he cannot be counted on as he has in the past.
Alex Rodriguez is another guy that because of his age you can't be sure of what
you are going to get out of him. The key for the Yankees this year is what they
get out of guys like Robinson Cano, Nick Swisher, and Curtis Granderson. If those guys can step up and just let some of
the older guys play bit rolls, the Yankees should have a strong offense
SethSpeaks: What is the current state of the rotation?
Rob Abruzzese: Let's
face it, the Yankees right now have CC Sabathia and everybody else. Yankee fans should be prying for rain so they can send the big man out there as
often as possible. Andy Pettitte is obviously a big
time veteran, but he had groin issues that kept him out for a long stretch of
time and he hasn't been the same since coming back. Phil Hughes has never started
a playoff game and struggled in October last season after dominating all year.
A.J. Burnett and Javier Vazquez have been so bad that A.J. won't start unless
there is an emergency and Vazquez isn't even on the ALDS roster. If either of
those guys have to start for the Yankees they are in a
lot of trouble.
SethSpeaks: How will the Yankees get from the starter to Mariano Rivera?
Rob Abruzzese: That
actually has been a great strength of the Yankees lately. Kerry Wood was a huge
pickup for them and has pitched as well as any reliever they've had since the
dynasty of the 90's. He's the key. Before him Joba
Chamberlain and David Robertson will be counted on to get big outs. They've
both been up and down this season, but lately there have been a lot more ups
than downs. If they pitch well the Yankees will have no problem getting to
Rivera. Boone Logan, their lone lefty in the pen, has had a great season as
well and against a team like the Twins he's going to get plenty of
opportunities to pitch. Hopefully for the Yankees sake he continues his good
SethSpeaks: What is the current state of the offense? Who is Hot? Who is
Rob Abruzzese: The
Yankees hitting coach Kevin Long has really done wonders with this lineup.
Really the only players that have struggled lately are guys that have been
dealing with injuries like Nick Swisher, Brett Gardner, Mark Teixeira, and
Jorge Posada. That said, they have been given a lot of time off lately and
should be ready to go in October.
The reason why I give Kevin Long a lot of credit though is because he has
turned guys around who struggled for large stretches of this season. Curtis Granderson has probably experienced the biggest difference.
He has been a big help to Derek Jeter and Lance Berkman
as well. Nick Swisher has hit 40 points better on his batting average than he
did last season and he has given all the credit to Long for helping him quite
down his swing.
SethSpeaks: Do you think the Yankees would do better against the Twins in a short
series or a longer one?
Rob Abruzzese: Definitely
a short series because it means they can avoid using four starters. Their
bullpen will also benefit because there is a pretty big drop off at the end of
that pen and if they don't have to pitch more than back-to-back days they
should be able to avoid their B-squad relievers.
SethSpeaks: Are the Yankees and their fans overlooking the Twins?
Rob Abruzzese: Some
of the fans might be, but I don't think the Yankees are. They know that the
Twins are a good team and probably better than they were last season. The
Yankees might not have played with the pedal to the metal down the stretch, but
that was more about keeping everyone healthy than looking forward to the
match-ups and thinking the Twins would be easier than the Rangers.
So there you have it, a little background on the Twins opponents, the New
York Yankees. Thank you very much to Rob for taking the time to write such
great responses.
I think it's going to be a terrific series. I think most of the games
should be tightly contested. I mean, we are talking about two teams that were
separated by just one game in the overall standings over the course of a 162
game season. Both are terrific teams. Both have good pitching, really good
offenses and strong bullpens.
So before the series gets started, get your predictions in? Who will win
the series? In how many games? Who will star? Leave
your comments here.

Tuesday Morning Links
Here are some links and articles to check out today:
Please be sure to read my TwinsCentric
blog at StarTribune.com. It is called Matching up with the
Yankees. I went through all the potential pitcher/hitter matchups in
the Twins/Yankees series. Matt Guerrier versus Alex
Rodriguez is not the only lopsided matchup we could see. Who should pitch
to A-Rod in the late innings? Who is Matt Capps' nemesis? Who do
we want on the mound with Joe Mauer batting
late in the game? And much more.
I will be talking Twins/Yankees on am790 KFGO in Fargo
with Scott Miller for a segment or two starting at about 6:30.
There will be a new
SethSpeaks.net Weekly Minnesota Twins Podcast tonight at 10:00. I have
one confirmed guest and a couple of who hopefully will be able to join. I'll
update this as I confirm more guests. There will be plenty of Twins/Yankees
talk though, to be sure. The second guest was Robby Imcmikoski
joined the show which was
very cool!
If you're looking for a really good Yankees blog to
follow throughout this series, and beyond, go to Bronx Baseball Daily. Yesterday,
they sent me several questions about the series from the Twins perspective, and
my responses should be posted sometime today.
As always, feel free to 'friend' me on Facebook if you would like. You are also welcome to follow me on Twitter.

Case for a Poem
Notes etched in my palm. A pocket for storing thoughts. One for dreams to come.
April 19, 2010
I am time tested. I have weathered many falls and puddles. I have survived the quick clutches and moisten mouths of babes. I am trusted. The must sure packed necessity placed in the travel bag. I am the first placed on the list of must take to the meeting. I am easy. I am complimented. I have an elegance all of my own. I am lasting.

Best inexpensive investment
The pocket briefcase is as practical as it is convenient. It is always in my shirt or jacket pocket and provides a quick journal of what I am seeing whether on a factory tour or a sight seeing walk. It is especially handy when cell phones or iPads are not allowed. An added bonus is that is not intimidating when interviewing people. The small size helps keep them at ease. One of the best investments I ever made.

Handy writing tool
I really like this case as it is thin enough to put in my back pocket and be ready to write on a solid surface. As the Safety manager in a large warehouse, it is important to keep track of details. This is just the item that I need while on the job.

Useful for me
I have been using a shirt pocket briefcase for about the past four years in a rather unique capacity: I am a soccer referee, and I find it is extremely useful for me to carry and write my game reports during a soccer match. The leather is of very high quality, and as such has been highly resistant to the sweat generated from 60-90 minutes of running around the pitch during all kinds of whether. It is also convenient in that I can hold a number of blank cards and filled out cards -- thus allowing me to continue working games (for example during a tournament) without requiring me to go to my bag for a new form. I have printed out blank game report forms on 3x5 cards -- they are a perfect size. It also holds my (yellow and red) cards. My only caveat is that the size of this article is such that it won't fit in the pockets of jerseys that have a pen tunnel on the left breast pocket -- but I simply switch it to the right pocket in those cases. This is a very useful and incredibly durable product.

Where I go, it goes.
One of these little guys goes with me every where I go, filled with their personalized, nice-stock cards. Great for catching ideas, leaving notes, you name it. I'm buying two more as gifts for friends - and I'm sure they'll be pleased. Fits nicely in s standard men's shirt pocket or a suit jacket inside pocket.
October 16, 2013
Constant note taker
Second pocket briefcase purchased. First case lasted 13 years of almost everyday use. That case never lost any integrity in construction, the leather finally wore out from constant handling throughout the course of all day use. Could not imagine being without one. If you need to jot things down, this case is far superior to any electronic gizmo. Make quick notes then sort out thoughts later when reviewing your day.
September 14, 2013
Quality not there
My wife bought me a pocket briefcase back in the early 90s, and I LOVED it! Since the age of 10, I've always felt naked without a pocketknife, and that can be said of the pocket briefcase. Then, I lost it. I purchased another, and it just wasn't anyway near as good as the original. The leather was thinner, making the whole thing flimsy. I fixed this by placing a sheet of aluminum in the middle card slot to stiffen. The other problem is that the slots for holding the cards in place for writing are sloppy. The cards have too much room to move up and down. All in all, a far inferior product to the one I bought from this same company over 20 years ago.

I think this stuff works! You feel more driven to accomplish things. I notice that when I don't take it I'll have less energy. It's not a hyper energy it's more of a calm focused energy. The powder is great because you can mix it with drinks and it tastes kind of maltey. I sometimes eat it directly from the spoon and rinse it down with water. I've read it's even better for women to take because it balances their hormones which fluctuate more than men's do. You need to start slowly with the dosage and adjust it according to your body's needs, then take a break from it occasionally or it appears to lose potency(for example: 3 week ON, 1 week OFF). I recommend using 1 tsp to 1 tbsp in water mixing it up and drinking it as fast as possible in the morning. It taste bad but you can mix it with juice or something else (smoothies, shakes and tea). It is necessary to note that аnyone who has a sensitive digestive system must be careful with the raw maca. Like other cruciferous roots, maca is particularly difficult to digest when raw. Not only is it fiber-dense, it also contains lots of goitrogens - that's why the raw root and it's flour is so bitter - so it's no wonder people have digestive and occasional hormonal (thyroid) complaints.To avoid this issue maca should be cooked in order to be gentle on digestion, on metabolism, and it has always been cooked traditionally(by the native Puruvians)for this purpose! Another option for those with digestive issue is Gelatinized Maca Powder(iHerb carry gelatinized raw maca). Gelatinized means that it's fiber has been removed, and goitrogens denatured. The gelatinized product was developed specifically to address the digestion issue inherent with the root. To summarize, I give this maca powder a five star rating because it's simply great . This stuff makes you feel better than any multivitamin you'll find and I definitely recommend it.

I am a regular customer of i.herb but this is the first time i have been so impressed with a supplement that i wanted to spread the word. I have been for a great deal of my life hormonally out of balance, been to conventional doctors, alternative doctors and none were able to help me telling me that my hormones were all ok, although i felt most of the time lousy, im now 45 and perimenopausal. I had used maca powders before, but either i didnt use them long enough for them to take effect or i was missing the effects of the gelatinized version. I have been taking 1 teaspoon of this for the last 6 weeks and i feel ''balanced'' for the first time in my entire life,putting weight on in all the right places and nowhere else, improved sleep, mood and energy. Im over the moon!!

I have tried ordinary Maca powder from a different brand, it was okay, but I find this Gelatinized version gentler on the stomach. It has balanced my hormones out and has given me more energy to utilise during the day, without affecting my sleep pattern. Would buy again.

Have always wanted to work for Disney and finally the dream is coming true! I called today and just have to call back to set up my interview.
I have two areas I am interested in Attractions, and possibly Character. I think it would be really fun to be a character but a little shy about auditioning. Has anybody ever auditioned before? What is the process like?
My dream job would be to drive/work on a monorail but not sure if that is possible as an entry level person.
Do many people get paid starting out at more than the base pay?

Though two city police officers charged with raping a woman in 2008 were acquitted of the most serious charges Thursday, they were removed from the force by Police Commissioner Ray Kelly and may still face up to two years in prison. NY1's Dean Meminger filed the following report.
Officers Kenneth Moreno and Franklin Mata walked out of court smiling but full of emotion Thursday.
"I thought about my wife and all of the people who supported me," said Moreno.
"I've been innocent from day one," said Mata. "I'm glad everybody sees that now."
On the seventh day of deliberations, jurors found Moreno and Mata not guilty of raping a 27-year-old woman inside her East Village apartment.
However, the officers were found guilty of the much lesser charges of official misconduct. They are scheduled to be sentenced June 29 and could face up to two years in prison, though they might only get probation.
During the trial, Moreno and Mata testified they broke Police Department guidelines by not telling their bosses they were going back to the woman's apartment. Moreno even said he made a fake 911 call so a dispatcher would send him to the building.
In a statement, Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance Junior said, in part, "We respect the jury's verdict, which acknowledges that the defendants' actions that night not only violated the law, they violated the victim's rights, and the public's trust."
Meanwhile, Police Commissioner Ray Kelly gave the officers the boot Thursday.
"The guilty verdicts reached today involved violations of the officers' oaths of office and as a result warrant immediate termination from the Police Department," said Kelly.
Back in December 2008, the officers were called to the apartment to help the woman, who was drunk, into her building. They returned three more times during their overnight shift.
The woman testified she passed out several times because she was so drunk, but remembered being raped by at least one of the officers.
"I thought she made the whole thing up," said Moreno.
The woman is suing the city for $57 million.
"I hope everything works out for her," said Moreno. "I wish her no harm."
Prosecutors tried to convince the jury that Moreno raped the woman while Mata acted as a lookout. Moreno argued he only went back to check on her and to try to convince her to stop drinking.
Moreno called the jury courageous and praised his lawyer Joseph Tacopina.
"I believed from day one Frank and Ken were absolutely innocent," said Tacopina. "I think this verdict speaks the truth."

Day 1
Depart London.
Day 2
We have the day to explore Madagascar's capital, known as simply 'Tana' to the locals. Built around Anosy Lake, the capital offers much of interest such as the Anosy Flower Market, the Prime Minister's Palace and old typical Merina houses with stunning backdrops of terracing typical of Antananarivo and outstanding views from the Queen's Palace. We discover the lower part of town, exploring the Flower market, Anosy Lake and the Avenue of Independence.
Day 3
We take a morning walk to the upper part of Antananarivo, ascending to Antaninareina (the commercial and administrative part of town) and walking to the main entrance of the Queen's palace, with outstanding views over Tana. In the afternoon we drive to Ambositra, where we have the chance to visit some Zafimaniry handicraft centres.
Day 4
A full day walking to Antoetra allowing us to discover and explore the Zafimaniry villages. The Zafimaniry people are renowned for their woodcarvings; in their villages, even the houses are works of art! In 2003, the Zafimaniry people and their work with wood were considered to be masterpieces of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity, a list maintained by UNESCO to protect and preserve their way of life. We will walk through habituated areas - through rice fields, hills and small villages, following regular paths used by locals. The walk is approximately 8 hours in total. After the walk, we drive back to Ambositra.
Day 5
Today we head south and east to the well visited national park of Ranomafana. The drive takes us through spectacular scenery, past neat Betsileo rice paddies and thick forests. We reach our destination in the afternoon and after some time to rest at the hotel, we take an evening walk along the roadside of Ranomafana to spot nocturnal wildlife.
Day 6
In the morning we visit Ranomafana National park - a mountainous rainforest park with elevations ranging from 600m to 1400m that contains many different forest types (from lowland rainforest to cloud forest and high plateau forest), and provides opportunity to see various species of lemurs (Golden bamboo lemurs, Greater and Lesser bamboo lemurs, Red-bellied lemurs, Red-fronted lemurs, Mile Edward's Sifaka) as well as birds, frogs, reptiles, snails and orchids. In the afternoon, we drive to Ambalavao, the commercial centre of the southern Betsileo region, renowned for its folk art and crafts. Whilst here we also visit a wine farm and also take the opportunity to learn about the production of the Antemoro-paper: a paper which is produced from the bark of the Havoha-tree.
Day 7
Early transfer to Andringitra National Park - one of the most beautiful and biodiverse parks in Madagascar. Andringitra National Park has been managed by the WWF since 1993, and has three distinct eco-zones: low altitude rainforest, montane rainforest and high altitude vegetation. Although Andringitra contains diverse wildlife (over 100 bird species, 50 mammal species, including 13 lemurs types, and 55 species of frogs), the prime reason for visiting is for the stunning landscape, vegetation and superb trekking. More than 1000 plant species are known to exist in this national park alone, and the guides are highly knowledgeable on the plants contained within the park and their medicinal uses. In the morning we visit two famous waterfalls: 'Riandahy' and 'Raimbavy' and then we begin our trek to reach the second highest peak in Madagascar, Peak Boby. Peak Boby is also known as 'Pic d'Imarivolanitra' which means 'close to the sky'. The trek begins in forest which slowly becomes replaced by alpine meadows covered with orchids by the end of the rainy season. Leaving the forest we ascend a steep path which arrives onto the Andohariana plateau, climbing higher behind granite mountain tops. As we walk through the high montane vegetation we reach a natural pool, which offers a freezing but very refreshing swim! After approximately 6 hours of walking, we camp at Anderamposty (2100m)
Day 8
The longest day of treks, we begin our climb to the summit of Peak Boby early, to avoid climbing in the full heat of the day. This is a day to keep your camera handy as the trek climbs higher, giving unrivalled views and superb high-altitude flora. Although this is the highest accessible peak in Madagascar, it is a technically easy ascent up carved steps, and we should reach the summit after about 2 hours. We descend the same route back to our campsite where we have a chance to relax by the river while our lunch is prepared. After lunch, we head out through moon-like landscapes, granite cliffs and a forest of palm trees known as Gloka, on our way to our campsite. After approximately 6 hours of walking we camp at Iantaranomby (1650m).
Day 9
Today we have our final day of walking in Andringitra National Park. After breakfast we leave the mountains, exploring some of the villages on foot. With the decreasing altitude, we pass by many forms of succulent plants, such as the Pachypodium (looking like a mini baobab tree), Euphorbia and through savannah landscape. After approximately 4 hours, we camp at Meva Campsite in Tsaranoro Valley (900m)
Day 10
We drive to the little town of Ranohira today, which is the base for visiting Isalo National Park. Along the way we visit the small reserve of Anja, where Katta (otherwise known as Ring-tailed) lemurs can be observed in their natural surroundings
Day 11 - 12
One of the highlights of the trip, as we spend two days exploring Isalo National Park. Isalo is a vast region of wind-polished and water-scoured rock towers, deep canyons, gorges and oases, often described as Eden. During our time we will go walking in the magnificent Canyon of Makis in search of cheeky Ring-tailed lemurs and the Verreaux Sifaka. We also visit the 'Piscine Naturelle' (natural swimming pool), a beautifully lush spot in such an arid landscape, where we can swim and relax. Perhaps the magic is just to soak up the sheer beauty of the park. The combination of coloured, eroded rock formations, strange plants and the enveloping silence make this one of the most captivating places in Africa.
Day 13
We drive to Tulear, among the dry forests of the west and the spiny desert of the south, and we pass both the 'Mahafaly tombs' and the 'Antandroy tombs', briefly observing their ornate decorations. Antandroy and Mahafaly are reputed to be the most impressive of all Malagasy tombs, with the Antandroy tombs being large and brightly painted, relating to the life story and wishes of the deceased. They are also topped with zebu skulls which were sacrificed during the funeral festivity - a ceremony of great significance. Mahafaly tombs are characterized by their wooden sculptures known as 'Aloalo', relating to the life of the deceased and their unfulfilled dreams, as well as their rank within the clan. After a brief stop in Tulear, we continue to the coastal town of Ifaty.
Day 14
Today we have a free day in Ifaty. Running all the way around the south-west Malagasy coastline, Ifaty lies on one of the world's largest barrier reefs and hence is an excellent venue for scuba diving. Between late June and early September, whales can be observed off Ifaty's beautiful white beaches and the offshore islet of Nosy Ve is a terrific place for snorkelling. Protected by coral reefs, the beach and waters beyond the hotel offer a welcome rest from your trekking itinerary for those who wish just to relax.
Day 15
Transfer to Tulear airport for our flight to Antananarivo. Depending on the flight schedule, you may have the afternoon free to explore Antananarivo on our own.
Day 16
Depart Antananarivo.
Day 17
Arrive London.

These are some pretty good poses! I'd recommend trying to clean up your lines.In the beggining in one of Loomis's books there was a term that i really liked and think it describes wonderfully the situation - petting the lines.That's something a lot of people struggle with , as i still do too.Anyway, great job, keep working on the basics and shit'll start happening
I am Othrandir and Othrandir means me.
Woow this is way tooooo good! I'm sixteen too..but I'm very far from this..keep it up!
hey i like the latest practice pieces, gestures are a big part of starting any figure drawing so its important you have them down, they look dynamic and assymetric wich is good, some could be pushed further but this start its just fantastic, when you feel a bit more confident around gesture try to add anatomy to them wich is one of the big things your fiigures are lacking, if i had to say it would be proportion and anatomy, your line its very good already, good line weight and it seems you construct your drawings most of the time, go over to www.figuredrawing.info and look at the image gallery copy some diagrams and learn from them hampon vilppu and peter han will be my all time favourtie figure and line instructors, keep on going! i would like to see some fun stuff as well, cant forget the fun can we?
my sketchbook! Drawing like a maniac!!

Destroy your weaknesses! theres nothing more to it! stop bitching grab that pencil and sketch Away!
Very nice work here, I agree that you should work on your line quality with the gestures, but you're definitely on the right track! keep up the hard work

Our goal is to make available online the largest real-time aircraft traffic coverage - Laurent Duval President Openskymap.
We believe that this information can be useful for various needs (locating an aircraft for personal or business purposes, computing statistics), and notably it can lead to a better public understanding of what happens above our heads.
What we are trying to do is simply display on the web some data that is already available, and make it easy to interpret.
Our intent is not to disclose some confidential information, and we will not try to go this way.
Our system is based on a network of contributers (private persons, companies) owning an ADS-B receiver and willing to share their data with us, and a network of autonomous stations ADS-B belong to us.
In exchange, we make their data available online to anyone, and we will develop advanced services for them to analyze aircraft traffic.
See CONTRIBUTE section for more information.
Thanks a lot to all our contributers, friends, who help us make this website interesting. We are proud to have your contribution, and we will do everything we can to fill your needs.

Tour Giverny and the Palace of Versailles Wednesday, Friday, Saturday, or Sunday from April through October.
Your tour to Giverny and Versailes will begin with a pickup at your Paris hotel or apartment.
You will drive to Giverny to tour Claude Monet's home and gardens. At Giverny, the Japanese bridge and water lilies were subjects of many of Claude Monet's paintings and you will see them. Monet lived in the house from 1883 until he died in 1926 and though he never traveled to Japan, you will discover that the house is full of Japanese woodblock prints.
Your tour will include lunch at the Moulin de Fourges, a very special restaurant with a 200-year old mill.
In the afternoon you'll tour the Palace of Versailles with an audio guide.
The Palace of Versailles was the capital of the kingdom of France for over a century from 1682 to 1789 (when the French Revolution began) and as such holds an amazing amount of history with the Royal courts of King Louis XIII, his son Louis XIV, the "Sun King", Louis XV, and Louis XVI. Stripped of its furniture and ornaments during the French Revolution, it was abandoned until 1830 with King Louis-Philippe transformed it into a National Museum.
Touring the Palace, you'll see the Royal Apartments, the Hall of Mirrors, the Hall of Battles and the Great Apartments. You will also see some traces of Le Brun, Louis XIV's favorite painter. Portraits of the former residents are seen throughout the chateau.
You should be able to enjoy some time strolling in the gardens of Versailles. Designed by Andre Le Notre, the classic French Garden style was perfected here.
The day will end with a return to your Paris hotel or apartment.

Bakerton's Bradshaw, a five-time winner of the West Virginia Open, tied for third with a 4-under-par 68 in the Greenbrier Classic prequalifier held Thursday on the Cobb Course at Glade Springs.
A total of 29 golfers advanced to the Greenbrier Classic open qualifier set for Monday, also on the Cobb Course. An expected field of about 50-to-60 golfers in the open qualifier competes for four spots into the July 29-Aug. 1 Greenbrier Classic on the Old White Course.

So much insanity with this weather, snow day on Friday, skiers stuck at Snow Bowl, avalanche in Rattlesnake.
If you are crazy enough to brave the blizzard this weekend, or like me, going crazy being stuck inside, find out where the fish are biting in Missoula and Hamilton from our friend Bill at Bob Wards.
I think it is safe to say that Mike Judge is a genius. Ever since Beavis and Butthead, he has been tearing up American culture. Mike Judge's most successful "baby" has got to be the Fox show "King of the Hill." The show ran for 13 years, just long enough to ingrain Hank Hill impersonators into the world. Hear a spot on Hank Hill impersonator sing the Red Hot Chilli Peppers "Soul to Squeeze."
UPDATE - Missoula Police Department Public Information Officer Travis Welsh issued a press release at about 2:00 a.m. on Saturday, March 1.
Avalanche Update; Saturday March 1, 2014
As of 2:00AM this morning, emergency crews have cleared from the scene of the avalanche. Power lines have been secured, and the gas lines have been capped. There is no information currently available regarding the medical condition of the three persons rescued, they remain hospitalized. There is continued concern that the unstable snow conditions in the Missoula Valley may produce other slides and citizens are advised to stay out of closed areas.
Detectives have conducted interviews in an investigative effort to determine if the avalanche was caused by human activity, however at this time no determination has been made. Those efforts are continuing. Anyone with information as to the cause of the slide is asked to contact Detective Dean Chrestenson at (406) 552-6705, or Detective Guy Baker at (406) 552-6284. You may also call Missoula Crime-Stoppers at (406) 721-4444.
Our news partners at NBC Montana-KECI-TV have identified the elderly couple as Fred Allendorf and his wife, Michel Jo Colville. They were listed in critical condition Friday night at St. Patrick hospital. On Saturday morning, the hospital upgraded Allendorf to serious condition.
The identity and condition of the eight year-old boy injured in the slide are still unknown.
UPDATE - Paige Pavalone with the Missoula County Sheriff's Office confirmed at 7:30 p.m. that all three victims of Friday afternoon's Rattlesnake area avalanche have been recovered, and all are alive.

Like everyone else, the staff of ComicsAlliance was deeply saddened this week by the death of Harold Ramis. As an actor, writer and director, Ramis had a hand in crafting some of the films that shaped our lives and our sense of humor, including Caddyshack, Animal House and, of course, Ghostbusters, where he played the deadpan Dr. Egon Spengler and cracked up countless moviegoers just by telling them print was dead.
Ramis leaves behind an incredible legacy in the world of film, but artists across the world reacted to the news with their own tributes to the man and his work, which we've gathered below.
First the schools shut down because of the blizzard and now this; many Missoula government buildings are being closed as the blizzard intensifies. Here's a brief update on how authorities are dealing with the snow...

These amazing athletes serve in the Armed Forces, and on Team USA. With the Olympic games now coming to a close, we reflect back on our troops achievements on the battlefield and on the athletic field. DON'T FORGET ABOUT OUR HEROES COMPETING ON THE
BATTLEFIELD IN AFGHANISTAN WHO SELDOM GET RECOGNITION As we celebrate our Military Olympians, who can do such amazing things in their events, let us not forget the amazing things our troops overseas do every day in Afghanistan with little fanfare. Our troops continue fighting the Taliban and Al-Qaeda despite the 110+ degree heat and diminishing media coverage about their efforts. They fight to make sure that Afghanistan never again becomes a safe haven and training ground for terrorist to plot attacks to kill American civilians - which is their aim! Our fighting military will not receive media attention or acclaim for their heroic acts, but we will thank them with a care package of support from home. MILITARY OLYMPIANS SHARE GLORY AS USA CONQUERS LONDON 2012
Our Military Olympians have a lot to be proud of, with competitors in over 16 events and several Gold medal victories, contributing to the United State's overall victory in total number of medals, and the highest number of gold medals. The USA amassed 46 Gold Medals and 107 Medals total to beat out China which had 38 Gold and 87 Medals overall.

Minot State University and Dakota College at Bottineau are advertising the Passport Program, a cooperative program that lets people who are not eligible for full admission at Minot State University but still want to attend college, pursue a four-year degree and remain in the Minot area. Fifteen students were enrolled during the pilot program in 2010-11 and 36 first-year students were enrolled during the fall 2011 semester.
Requirements for first-year students were made more stringent beginning with the 2011 fall semester. Students who don't meet the new requirements can enroll in the Passport Program.
Students in the program live on campus at Minot State and take classes through Dakota College at Bottineau on the MSU campus. After completing 24 semester hours or a diploma program or associate degree through Dakota College at Bottineau, they can transfer seamlessly to classes through Minot State.
Passport students are expected to complete a minimum of 24 transferrable credits and earn a Certificate of College Studies. Among the classes included in the program are redesigned beginning algebra and intermediate algebra classes.
During their first semester in the program, Passport students take Study Skills from MSU as part of their Certificate in College Studies curriculum. This class uses a mixture of lecture, in-class discussion, hands-on assignments, and online WebCT tools to prepare them for academic life at Minot State University. This unique class along with general courses provides students the tools needed to enter their field of study after they become fully admitted MSU students.
Classes start Monday at Minot State University.
