[JURIST] The Australian Federal Police (AFP) [official website] announced Thursday that they will lift restrictions [control order, PDF] on former Australian Guantanamo Bay [JURIST news archive] detainee David Hicks [JURIST news archive]. The announcement came after Hicks issued a plea by posting a video on the website of Australian advocacy group GetUp! [advocacy website], asking for members' help in lifting the restrictions so that he could "get on with [his] life." Hicks was placed under a control order [JURIST report] in December 2007 that restricted his movements by requiring him to check in with police three times a week,comply with a midnight to 6AM curfew and not leave the country. The control order is set to expire next month, and the AFP has indicated that it will not seek to renew it [AFP report].Hicks pleaded guilty to a charge of supporting terrorism [JURIST reports] before a US military commission in March 2007 after spending more than five years in US custody following his capture in Afghanistan. He was transferred to Australia in May 2007 to serve the remainder of his nine-month prison sentence at a maximum security prison near his hometown of Adelaide, South Australia, and was released [JURIST reports] last December. The control order was relaxed [JURIST report] last February, permitting Hicks to live anywhere in the country, and requiring him to check in with police only twice a week.
[JURIST] Chief Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC) [official website] Luis Moreno-Ocampo [official profile] on Thursday formally asked ICC judges to issue arrest warrants [ICC press release] for the leaders of rebel groups in Sudan's Darfur region [JURIST news archive]. Ocampo had said last Friday at a meeting of states party to the ICC treaty [press release; JURIST report] that he would seek the warrants. The arrest warrants sought [AP report] relate to a deadly September 2007 attack [BBC report] by anti-government rebels in Darfur against African Union (AU) [official website] peacekeeping troops. Speaking of the rebels, Ocampo told the ICC judges:
They planned, led their troops and directed the attack which killed 12 peacekeepers, severely wounded 8 others, and completely destroyed AMIS facilities and property, directly affecting aid and security for millions of people of Darfur who are in need of protection.
[JURIST] A judge for the US District Court for the District of Columbia [official website] on Thursday ordered the release [order, PDF] of five Algerian Guantanamo Bay [JURIST news archive] detainees. In the first ruling on detainees' rights since the June Supreme Court decision in Boumediene v. Bush [opinion, PDF; JURIST report], Judge Richard Leon [official profile] decided [Washington Post report] that the government's evidence was insufficient to persuade him that the men were planning to travel to Afghanistan to join al Qaeda and therefore properly classed as "enemy combatants:"
[W]hile the information in the classified intelligence report, relating to the credibility and reliability of the source, was undoubtedly sufficient for the intelligence purposes for which it was prepared, it is not sufficient for the purposes for which a habeas court must now evaluate it. To allow enemy combatancy to rest on so thin a reed would be inconsistent with this Court's obligation under the Supreme Court's decision in Hamdi to protect petitioners from the risk of erroneous detention. [emphasis in original]
[JURIST] Former French Prime Minister Dominique de Villepin [official profile, in French; JURIST news archive] has been ordered to stand trial for "complicity in slanderous denunciation" in connection with the a long-running political scandal know as the Clearstream Affair [BBC backgrounder]. De Villepin is accused [AFP report] of having orchestrated the release of a fabricated list of government officials and business people who profited from illegal arms sales, including current French President Nicolas Sarkozy [offical profile, in French]. The allegations, which de Villepin has previously denied [JURIST report], surfaced during de Villepin's unsuccessful bid for the 2007 presidential nomination by the Union for a Popular Movement [party website, in French], which eventually went to his rival Sarkozy.In 2006, French authorities searched de Villepin's home and questioned [JURIST reports] him for 17 hours in connection with the scandal. De Villepin's political image was tainted by the allegations as well as by his advance of an unpopular youth labor law [JURIST archive] during his time as prime minister.
[JURIST] Council of Europe Commissioner for Human Rights Thomas Hammarberg [official profile] released a report [text] Thursday saying that "French detention and immigration policies risk reducing human rights protection." laying out the findings of his visit to France in May, Hammarberg expressed specific concern with overcrowding and poor conditions in detention facilities already noted in a February memo [text, PDF, in French], a high suicide rate [JURIST report], and the risk of arbitrary decisions in preventative detention. On overall immigration policy, Hammarberg said [press release] that a French quota on irregular migrant worker expulsion was improper and that a permanent solution needs to be reached regarding the situation of minority Roma [JURIST news archive]. In particular:
The Commissioner wishes to alert the French authorities to the dangers of predetermining the number of illegal migrants to be removed: the impact of such targets on the ways in which arrests are made and on administrative practices should be assessed. No further arrests should be made in schools or prefectures. The authorities are invited to allow those detained at the border or in holding centres enough time to complete asylum applications, in appropriate conditions.
[JURIST] Media reports that Clinton-era Deputy US Attorney General Eric Holder [professional profile; JURIST report] has been selected for nomination to the position of US Attorney General by President-elect Barack Obama prompted the the Republican National Committee (RNC) [party website] to circulate an e-mail [text] Wednesday criticizing Holder for his role in the 2001 pardon of fugitive financier Marc Rich [Time backgrounder]. The email, which draws on numerous press reports, asked readers "Why does Obama want to appoint an attorney general with a long history of controversial pardons?" In 2002, the Republican-led House Government Reform Committee [official website] concluded that Holder worked with former White House counsel Jack Quinn to ensure that Department of Justice officials, especially federal prosecutors in New York who handled the Rich case, "did not have the opportunity to express an opinion on the Rich pardon before it was granted." Congressman Dan Burton, the Chairman of the Committee at the time it investigated the Rich pardon, has said that Holder met with Quinn on several occasions in which Quinn made the White Houses intentions about the pardon known. The Committees evidence included an e-mail in which Holder told Quinn to "go straight" to the White House and that the "timing is good" for Rich's request for a pardon. Normally, pardon requests are reviewed by career prosecutors at the DOJ Office of the Pardon Attorney [official website] before a recommendation is forwarded to the White House.Marc Rich fled to Switzerland just before he was indicted in New York in 1983 on charges of tax evasion, fraud, and participation in illegal oil deals with Iran. His ex-wife, Denise Rich [Mother Jones report], visited the White House on more than a dozen occasions during Clinton's presidency and contributed an estimated $450,000 to his library foundation, $1.1 million to the Democratic Party, and at least $109,000 to Hillary Rodham Clinton's first bid for the Senate. Rich was officially pardoned [JURIST materials] by President Bill Clinton in 2001 on Clintons last day in office.
[JURIST] The US Department of Justice (DOJ) [official website] on Tuesday filed a government motion [text, PDF] asking a federal judge to review the procedure for handling appeals by detainees being held at the US military prison in Guantanamo Bay [JURIST news archive]. The DOJ claims that the current rules, as established by US District Court for the District of Columbia [official website] Chief Judge Thomas Hogan [official profile] in a November 6 order [order, PDF], are "ambiguous in certain important respects and that it would, if excessively construed, create obligations that realistically cannot be met in the limited two-week time frame." According to the rules, the DOJ is required to file briefs justifying detention "within 14 days of the date of th[e] Order in cases in which the petitioner already filed a traverse," which account for the overwhelming majority of the some 200 men who have filed appeals contained in 113 separate cases. The government expressed further concern over the disclosure of confidential information, which would "unnecessarily burden government agencies charged with prosecuting the present war and would risk serious damage to national security." In support of its position, the Justice Department filed four additional documents: a set of proposed orders [text, PDF], a series of sworn statements [text, PDF] by US intelligence officials on the risks to national security, a sworn statement [text, PDF] on national security risks by FBI Director Robert S. Mueller, and secret statements from intelligence and military officials not disclosed to the public. AFP has more.Hogan responded [order, RTF] to the governments motion on Thursday by ordering the lawyers for the Guantanamo detainees to file responses to the Justice Departments motion no later than Wednesday, November 26, 2008. The order followed a decision earlier that day by Judge Richard Leon [official profile] of the US District Court for the District of Columbia [official website] to release five Algerian detainees [JURIST report] now held at Guantanamo.
[JURIST] US Army prosecutors said Wednesday they would be filing new charges against Mohammad al-Qahtani [JURIST news archive], a Saudi Arabian citizen being held at the US military prison at Guantanamo Bay [JURIST news archive]. Al-Qahtani is known as the "20th hijacker" for his alleged role in the 9/11 attacks [JURIST news archive]. This will be the second time the Department of Defense (DOD) [official website] has filed charges against al-Qahtani. DOD originally filed charges for his alleged role in the 9/11 attacks in January 2008 only to drop the charges in May [JURIST report] . The DOD did not give a reason for the dismissal in May but it is suspected that the use of aggressive interrogation methods [Time report] to obtain information from al-Qahtani would have damaged the prosecution's case in a trial. Top prosecutor at Guantanamo, Colonel Lawrence J. Morris, said [NYT report] the charges were dropped so he could review the case files, and he concluded there was sufficient independent evidence that al-Qahtani was involved in the terrorist plot to move forward with prosecution in a military commission.Al-Qahtani was refused entry into the US at Orlando, Florida in August 2001 and was later captured in Afghanistan. Since his capture, he has been held at Guantanamo Bay, where Pentagon officials say he admitted to being sent to the US to participate in the attacks. In documents the Associated Press obtained in September 2007, he denied his involvement in, and knowledge of, the attacks [JURIST report]. Al-Qahtani also alleged that his statements were coerced by US torture [JURIST report]. A military investigation in 2005 concluded that al-Qahtani had been subjected to harsh treatment, authorized [JURIST report] by former US Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld because he would not crack under interrogation. The investigation revealed that al-Qahtani was forced to wear women's underwear [MSNBC report], was kept in solitary confinement for 160 days and was interrogated for 18-20 hours per day on 48 of 54 days [detainee log]. Lead investigator Air Force Lt. Gen. Randall M. Schmidt concluded, however, that he was not tortured since he was not denied food, water, or medical care, and interrogators did not inflict physical pain.
[JURIST] The UK House of Commons [official website] on Tuesday gave final approval [session transcript] to the Climate Change Bill [draft text; materials], which requires the country to cut its greenhouse gas emissions [AFP report] by 80 percent by the year 2050. The bill, heralded as the first binding legislation of its kind, also provides for the creation of a Committee on Climate Change to advise the government on how to cut emissions, and requires regular reporting by the government on how policies are impacting overall emissions. It also gives the government authority to enact secondary regulations designed to meet the bill's goals, including the creation of a domestic emissions trading plan. Parliament is currently considering an energy bill [materials] which includes provisions providing incentives for solar and other alternative energies designed to help the country meet its emissions goals. The Climate Change Bill must still be signed by the Queen before becoming law, but the step is a mere formality.The Climate Change Bill was originally introduced [JURIST report] in March 2007 and initially proposed to cut the UK's carbon dioxide emissions by 60 percent by 2050. Parliament's Joint Committee on the Draft Climate Change Bill [official website] later successfully convinced the body to amend to bill [JURIST report] to cover all greenhouse gases and increase the reduction to 80 percent.
[JURIST] The Supreme Court of California [official website] on Wednesday agreed [order, PDF; press release] to hear challenges to Proposition 8 [text, materials], the ballot measure that amended the state constitution to ban same-sex marriage, while refusing a petition to stay [text, PDF] its enforcement. The court will begin hearing arguments in March to determine whether Proposition 8 violates the state constitution and, if not, its effect on existing same-sex marriages. Petitioners contend the initiative is a constitutional revision, not an amendment, and requires approval from two-thirds of the state legislature [official website]. AP has more. The Los Angeles Times has local coverage.The ruling follows two weeks of protests [NYT report; JURIST report] and petitions [materials] challenging the amendment since its approval [JURIST reports] by voters on November 4. Since then, gay rights advocacy groups have especially targeted [advocacy website] the Mormon church [official website], arguing that it should lose its tax-exempt status as a religious organization for partisan activism. Yes on 8 [advocacy website] estimates that 40 percent [SF Chronicle report] of its more than $28 million [JURIST report] came from Mormons.
[JURIST] The US Court of Appeals for the First Circuit [official website] on Wednesday upheld [opinion, PDF] a grant of summary judgment for the plaintiff by the US District Court for the District of Rhode Island [official website] in an action seeking the return of a painting confiscated from a Jewish art gallery owner in Germany immediately prior to the Holocaust [JURIST news archive; USHMM backgrounder]. The case, Vineberg v. Bissonnette, centered around a work by 19th century painter Franz Xaver Winterhalter [Getty Museum backgrounder], which was confiscated from Dusseldorf art gallery owner Dr. Max Stern and auctioned off at below-market price in 1937. In 2005, Stern's estate filed a replevin action against Bissonnette for the painting, which was to be auctioned off again after having been in the private collection of Bissonnette's family since the father of German baroness Maria-Luise Bissonnette bought it in Cologne. In affirming the district court decision, Judge Bruce Selya [official profile] wrote:
A de facto confiscation of a work of art that arose out of a notorious exercise of man's inhumanity to man now ends with the righting of that wrong through the mundane application of common law principles. The mills of justice grind slowly, but they grind exceedingly fine. We need go no further. The short of it is that the district court acted well within the realm of its discretion in refusing the defendant's tardy request to reopen discovery. By like token, the court had an appropriate rationale for granting the plaintiffs' motion for brevis disposition.

Justification: Listed as Endangered as the species has a range of about 4,000 km², occurs only on the Masoalo Peninsula, and is currently at risk of ongoing habitat loss and hunting. |
History: |
Range Description: | This species has a restricted range, primarily inhabiting the remaining primary forests of the Masoala Peninsula and the region immediately north of the Bay of Antongil in north-eastern Madagascar. The Antainambalana River appears to separate this species from V. variegata, but the western and northern limits of the Red Ruffed Lemur's range remain unclear (Mittermeier et al. 2008, and references therein). Historically, the two species overlapped in the region north of the Bay of Antongil. Recent survey work in the region has shown that the westernmost distribution of V. rubra was near the confluence of the Antainambalana and Sahantaha Rivers (Hekkala et al. 2007). Ranges from sea-level to 1,200 m. |
Countries: | Native: Madagascar |
Range Map: | Click here to open the map viewer and explore range. |
Population: | Density estimates have been recorded at 31-53 individuals/km² in Andranobe (Vasey 1997: IJP) and 21-23 individuals/km² in at Ambatonakolahy (Rigamonti 1993). |
Population Trend: | Decreasing |
Habitat and Ecology: | This species has been the subject of ecological and behavioral studies in the forests of Ambatonakolahy (Rigamonti 1993) and Andranobe on the Masoala Peninsula (Vasey 1997: thesis). It is diurnal, prefers high forest and is often observed in the crowns of large feeding trees. It is largely frugivorous. The mating season is May-July, with births occurring from September through early November after a gestation period of about 102 days. Litters range from one to five infants in captivity, but usually contain two or three, and only one young every two years normally survive (Brockman et al. 1987, Schwitzer 2003). Interbirth intervals are in the order of two years (Rakotondratsima and Kremen 2001). |
Systems: | Terrestrial |
Major Threat(s): | Due to its large size and apparent need for tall primary forest, this species is susceptible to human encroachment and habitat loss (particularly due to slash-and-burn agriculture). Hunting also remains a threat. |
Conservation Actions: | This species is listed on Appendix I of CITES. It is protected officially only within the Masoala National Park and the Makira Protected Area. Increased regulation and management of hunting within the range is recommended. |

Marketing a Family Recipe
Oprah.com | July 19, 2007
Do you have a fantastic family recipe that you'd like to market? Jean is live at Harpo Studios in Chicago with two guests who did just that—Danny and Marie Lena, who took a cherished family recipe and turned it into a thriving business. Jean talks to Danny and Marie about Grandpa's Peppers and their recipe for success.
Known as Papa and Mama Lena in their hometown of Chicago, Danny and Marie say for years they worked as motivational speakers, helping others find their passion and promoting their book,
Being Better Than My Best
. After turning 50, the couple says they were ready for their second act but weren't sure which path to pursue.
Inspired by their mutual love of cooking and food, Danny and Marie say they got an idea to start a business using a secret family recipe for crispy veggie chips flavored with Italian-style peppers. Beginning at the age of 10, Danny says he spent three summers in a row living on his grandfather's farm in Des Plaines, Illinois, where he learned the special recipe that his family back in Italy had been making for generations.
To get started, Danny and Marie say they made a big batch of the chips and rented a booth at an Italian festival for four days. In the first hour of the first day, they completely sold out! Encouraged by the positive response for the chips, Danny and Marie sought out a patent attorney, who helped them patent the process.
Next, they moved operations from their home kitchen to a rented, shared-use kitchen. "You have all the equipment there and everything you need," Marie says. From packaging and UPC codes to figuring out the nutritional content of their product, the Lenas say there are experts at the shared-use kitchen that guided them through the entire process of getting their product to the public.
Today, the couple operates Papa Lena's Healthy Foods in Chicago, which makes chips from a wide array of vegetables, including red bell peppers, hot peppers, zucchini, elephant garlic, beets and sweet potatoes. It's a healthy and delicious food, Danny and Marie say—the chips are roasted in a convection oven and coated with olive oil. "Food itself is love because it energizes us, it invigorates us, it makes us who we are," Danny says.

That Is So Clever!: Dexter-Dexter Mashup
This is a mashup picture of Dexter from Dexter's Lab and Dexter from that show Dexter about the serial killer. I've seen a shit-ton of Dexter's Lab but only one episode of Dexter because he reminds me too much of myself and that makes me nervous because I don't want to kill anybody else. I SAID I DON'T WANT TO I DIDN'T SAY I WOULDN'T. I'm coming for you (leave a key under the mat, please). Also, if you could take these sleeping pills that would be great. Wait -- those are my vitamins.

Mar 02, 2014Wow this hotel is really pretty cool. It's right on the beach and quite lavish, but it is quite expensive, so just make sure you book in advance to get good value for money.
Recommended for:LGBT - Copacabana Palace HotelCourtney ReganMar 02, 2014
I love it here! This historic and legendary hotel built in 1919 is one of my inspirations for joining the travel business. During my first trip to Rio, I learned about the Copacabana Palace as the most sought after hotel in town and was determined to stay there. About six months later I launched my new career as an Advisor with Brownell Travel and another six months later I stayed at the Palace for an unforgettable week.
The first thing my travel friend and I noticed about the Palace is their knack for hiring people who love hospitality, such as Cati at the front desk. Everyone we met had a smile on their face and seemed to truly enjoy their jobs, which resulted in an exuberant welcome. After sampling the welcome chocolate truffles, we were escorted to our stunning room in the main building. Not only was the room spacious, luxurious and impeccable but the balcony was drop dead gorgeous. Overlooking Copacabana Beach, I immediately dreamed about moving in…
And then we went to the pool, which I daresay is the best part of the hotel. Surrounded by two restaurants (one of which serves an extensive daily breakfast buffet), with comfortable chez lounges and impeccable service from wonderful people like Vinicuis, this has to be the best pool ever. The pool is in between the main building and the new wing, which houses additional rooms, the spa and Caprini bar and restaurant.
The hotel is famous for throwing some of the best parties in Rio, which is saying a lot. Both New Years Eve and Carnaval are celebrated with the utmost style, making them some of the most sought after tickets in town. There is also ample meeting space, which creates a mix of business and pleasure felt throughout the hotel.
While in Rio we also toured the Santa Teresa Hotel and Fasano, which has a great location in Ipanema. However, these other visits confirmed what I already believed to be true: the Copacabana Palace is the best place to stay in Rio. It combines historical style and modern luxury just perfectly. It is the standard for what service should be. When we finally got up from the pool and embraced our favorite waiters good bye, we knew it wouldn't be long until we meet again.
Virtuoso amenities include upgrade on arrival, subject to availability, daily breakfast, $100 spa service and late check-out.
- Copacabana Palace HotelDonald YoungFeb 24, 2014
Michael Jackson, Walt Disney, Marilyn Munroe, Will Smith, Ronaldinho..... fancy rubbing shoulders with the celebs then Copacabana Palace is the place to go.
As soon as you walk up to this iconic and historic building which is now more than 80 years old you can tell that it is a place for those with a bit of extra money to enjoy excellent service in beautiful surroundings.
You can take your pick from utilising the tennis courts to taking a dip in the large swimming pool... or if its fine dining you are after the Copacabana Palace has various restaurants and bars available.
If you are only staying for a short period of time talk to the reception staff who will be happy to organise day tours to all of the main attractions such as the Christ statue, Sugar Loaf mountain, Maracana and more.Recommended for:Luxury Travelers - Copacabana Palace HotelBelinda MaSep 17, 2012
Very classy, very sophisticated hotel in the middle of Copacabana Beach. Tends to attract the wealthy tourists and dignitaries, but the hotel itself still retains the old Rio charm.

Sioux City, IA - Fourth-ranked Morningside scored the final seven points and recorded a 63-60 win over #11 Northwestern in a GPAC women's basketball showdown played in Wednesday night in Sioux City, Iowa. The Red Raiders drop to 8-4 in the GPAC, 14-5 overall.
Down 56-55, Northwestern ran off five straight points and grabbed a 60-56 lead after a free throw by Kendra De Jong with 1:47 left to play. After both teams came up empty on their next possessions, Morningside guard Chelsie Trask knocked down a pair of free throws to cut it to a two-point lead. Northwestern turned it over on its next possession and Morningside capitalized, tying the game on two free throws by Shelby Beaudette with 51 seconds left.
Tied at 60, De Jong missed on a long jumper with the shot clock winding down and Morningside went down and hit the go-ahead basket on a jumper by Beaudette with four seconds left to play.
Fifth-ranked Northwestern had its four-game win streak come to a screeching halt, falling to Morningside 98-81 in GPAC men's basketball action played Wednesday night in Sioux City, Iowa. The Red Raiders fall into a first place tie with Doane at 9-3, 15-5 overall.
Northwestern trailed by just two (36-34) late in the first half but the host Mustangs outscored NWC 9-3 to take a 45-37 lead into the break. Morningside went 7-for-11 from the three-point line in the opening half, shooting 64%.
A three-point play by Ben Miller put Northwestern down five (45-40) and the Red Raiders were still within striking distance at the 15-minute mark, trailing 58-52. Morningside, however, quickly put the game away with a barrage of three-pointers, three by Jared Kolbush and one by Steve O'Neill, to spark a 20-2 run and led 78-54 with nine minutes left. The Mustangs held Northwestern scoreless for nearly five minutes during the decisive run.

U.S. Congressman Mike Pence, Chairman of the House Republican Conference, made the following statement today after House Democrats introduced their proposal for so-called health care reform:
The American people have no stomach for a government takeover of health care that will lead to fewer jobs, higher taxes and less health coverage. Yet that is exactly what House Democrats propose to do during the worst recession in a generation. The American people are looking for real solutions to create jobs and get our economy back on track, not another excuse to raise taxes on small businesses and working families.
House Republicans will oppose Washington bureaucrats standing between patients and the care they need. Republicans will fight for reform that expands access to affordable health care and gives people the freedom to choose the health care that is best for their families, without imposing a jobs-killing tax hike on small businesses. The American people deserve no less.

Quantum-Dynamical Picture of a Multistep Enzymatic Process: Reaction Catalyzed by Phospholipase A2 Biophysical Journal, Volume 79, Issue 3, 1 September 2000, Pages 1253-1262 P. Bała, P. Grochowski, K. Nowiński, B. Lesyng and J.A. McCammon Abstract A quantum-classical molecular dynamics model (QCMD), applying explicit integration of the time-dependent Schrödinger equation (QD) and Newtonian equations of motion (MD), is presented. The model is capable of describing quantum dynamical processes in complex biomolecular systems. It has been applied in simulations of a multistep catalytic process carried out by phospholipase A2 in its active site. The process includes quantum-dynamical proton transfer from a water molecule to histidine localized in the active site, followed by a nucleophilic attack of the resulting OH− group on a carbonyl carbon atom of a phospholipid substrate, leading to cleavage of an adjacent ester bond. The process has been simulated using a parallel version of the QCMD code. The potential energy function for the active site is computed using an approximate valence bond (AVB) method. The dynamics of the key proton is described either by QD or classical MD. The coupling between the quantum proton and the classical atoms is accomplished via Hellmann-Feynman forces, as well as the time dependence of the potential energy function in the Schrödinger equation (QCMD/AVB model). Analysis of the simulation results with an Advanced Visualization System revealed a correlated rather than a stepwise picture of the enzymatic process. It is shown that an sp2→ sp3 configurational change at the substrate carbonyl carbon is mostly responsible for triggering the activation process. Abstract | Full Text | PDF (634 kb) |
Structure of Gαi1 Bound to a GDP-Selective Peptide Provides Insight into Guanine Nucleotide Exchange Structure, Volume 13, Issue 7, 1 July 2005, Pages 1069-1080 Christopher A. Johnston, Francis S. Willard, Mark R. Jezyk, Zoey Fredericks, Erik T. Bodor, Miller B. Jones, Rainer Blaesius, Val J. Watts, T. Kendall Harden, John Sondek, J. Kevin Ramer and David P. Siderovski Summary Heterotrimeric G proteins are molecular switches that regulate numerous signaling pathways involved in cellular physiology. This characteristic is achieved by the adoption of two principal states: an inactive, GDP bound state and an active, GTP bound state. Under basal conditions, G proteins exist in the inactive, GDP bound state; thus, nucleotide exchange is crucial to the onset of signaling. Despite our understanding of G protein signaling pathways, the mechanism of nucleotide exchange remains elusive. We employed phage display technology to identify nucleotide state-dependent Gα binding peptides. Herein, we report a GDP-selective Gα binding peptide, KB-752, that enhances spontaneous nucleotide exchange of Gαi subunits. Structural determination of the Gαi1/peptide complex reveals unique changes in the Gα switch regions predicted to enhance nucleotide exchange by creating a GDP dissociation route. Our results cast light onto a potential mechanism by which Gα subunits adopt a conformation suitable for nucleotide exchange. Summary | Full Text | PDF (889 kb) |
Theoretical Investigations on Azotobacter vinelandii Ferredoxin I: Effects of Electron Transfer on Protein Dynamics Biophysical Journal, Volume 86, Issue 4, 1 April 2004, Pages 1987-2007 Markus Meuwly and Martin Karplus Abstract Structural, energetic, and dynamical studies of Azotobacter vinelandii ferredoxin I are presented for native and mutant forms. The protein contains two iron-sulfur clusters, one of which ([3Fe-4S]) is believed to play a central role in the electron-coupled proton transfer. Different charge sets for the [3Fe-4S] cluster in its reduced and oxidized state are calculated with broken symmetry ab initio density functional theory methods and used in molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. The validity of the ab initio calculations is assessed by comparing partially optimized structures of the [3Fe-4S] clusters with x-ray structures. Possible proton transfer pathways between the protein and the iron-sulfur cluster are examined by both MD simulations and ab initio calculations. The MD simulations identify three main-chain hydrogen atoms—HN(13), HN(14), and HN(16)—that are within H-bonding distance of the [3Fe-4S] cluster throughout the MD simulations. They could thus play a role in the proton transfer from the protein to the iron-sulfur cluster. By contrast, the HD2(15) atom of the Asp-15 is seldom close enough to the [3Fe-4S] cluster to transfer a proton. Poisson-Boltzmann calculations indicate that there is a low, but nonzero probability, that Asp-15 is protonated at pH 7; this is a requirement for it to serve as a proton donor. Ab initio calculations with a fragment model for the protein find similar behavior for the transfer of a proton from the OH of the protonated side chain and the main-chain NH of Asp-15. The existence of a stable salt bridge between Asp-15 and Lys-84 in the D15E mutant, versus its absence in the wild-type, has been suggested as the cause of the difference in the rate of proton transfer. Extensive MD simulations were done to test this idea; the results do not support the proposal. The present findings, together with the available data, serve as the basis for an alternative proposal for the mechanism of the coupled electron-proton transfer reaction in ferredoxin I.

The mechanism of the first steps of the reaction catalyzed by HIV-1 protease was studied through molecular dynamics simulations. The potential energy surface in the active site was generated using the approximate valence bond method. The approximate valence bond (AVB) method was parameterized based on density functional calculations. The surrounding protein and explicit water environment was modeled with conventional, classical force field. The calculations were performed based on HIV-1 protease complexed with the MVT-101 inhibitor that was modified to a model substrate. The protonation state of the catalytic aspartates was determined theoretically. Possible reaction mechanisms involving the lytic water molecule are accounted for in this study. The modeled steps include the dissociation of the lytic water molecule and proton transfer onto Asp-125, the nucleophilic attack followed by a proton transfer onto peptide nitrogen. The simulations show that in the active site most preferable energetically are structures consisting of ionized or polarized molecular fragments that are not accounted for in conventional molecular dynamics. The mobility of the lytic water molecule, the dynamics of the hydrogen bond network, and the conformation of the aspartates in the active center were analyzed.

Augusta, GA (Sports Network) - Tiger Woods' hill to climb for a fifth Masters title just got steeper.
Woods has been assessed a two-stroke penalty for an illegal drop on Friday and will start the third round of the year's first major at 1-under-par, five shots behind leader Jason Day.
Speculation of a possible disqualification was rampant Saturday morning after Woods' penalty drop on the par-5 15th hole Friday came into question.
Woods' third shot hit the flagstick and rolled back into the water that fronts the green. He had options under Rule 26-1 that included playing from a drop area or going back to the original spot and taking a drop from "nearly as possible at the spot from which the original ball was last played." Woods said in interviews afterward that he went two yards farther back, which made the drop questionable.
"I went down to the drop area, that wasn't going to be a good spot, because obviously it's into the grain, it's really grainy there," Woods said on Friday about his decision on the 15th hole. "And it was a little bit wet. So it was muddy and not a good spot to drop.
"So I went back to where I played it from, but I went two yards further back and I took, tried to take two yards off the shot of what I felt I hit. And that should land me short of the flag and not have it either hit the flag or skip over the back. I felt that was going to be the right decision to take off four right there. And I did. It worked out perfectly."
Masters officials released a statement Saturday morning after meeting with Woods.
"In preparation for his fifth shot, the player dropped his ball in close proximity to where he had played his third shot in apparent conformance with Rule 26. After being prompted by a television viewer, the Rules Committee reviewed a video of the shot while he was playing the 18th hole. At that moment and based on that evidence, the Committee determined he had complied with the Rules.
"After he signed his scorecard, and in a television interview subsequent to the round, the player stated that he played further from the point than where he had played his third shot. Such action would constitute playing from the wrong place.
"The subsequent information provided by the player's interview after he had completed play warranted further review and discussion with him this morning. After meeting with the player, it was determined that he had violated Rule 26, and he was assessed a two-stroke penalty. The penalty of disqualification was waived by the Committee under Rule 33 as the Committee had previously reviewed the information and made its initial determination prior to the finish of the player's round."
In the past, Woods would have been disqualified for signing an incorrect scorecard.
However, a rule change announced in August 2011 protects a player from automatic disqualification after signing an incorrect scorecard if that player unknowingly violated a rule. A two-stroke penalty can then be assessed instead.

Rossford leaders say they are losing police officers to other departments, so they approved a big raise.
The new contract calls for officers to receive a 3 percent raise for three consecutive years. Uniform allowance has gone from $100 to $500 a year.
Chief Glenn Goss says the city and the department were able to come to this agreement because officers agreed to keep their overtime, through compensation days, at a minimum.
He says, throughout the years, Rossford has lost many employees and officers to other law enforcement agencies that offer higher pay and better benefits. He hopes this change will break the pattern.

Students and industry learn at MSU
Another key research center at MSU is the Center for Food & Pharmaceutical Packaging Research. Its objective: To build a scientific base for making packaging decisions about food and pharma products. Member companies who pay a fee to join include both consumer packaged goods companies and suppliers of packaging machinery and materials. The members help prioritize research projects and advise the center's directors on budget and management matters.
Interdisciplinary research at the center draws not only on the diverse background of the faculty of the School of Packaging but also on MSU departments including Food Science and Human Nutrition Agricultural Engineering Biomechanics Evaluation Laboratory Materials Science and Mechanics Chemical Engineering Statistics and Probability and the College of Human Medicine. For more information on the center's pharmaceutical research contact Dr. Hugh Lockhart at [email protected]; to learn more about food research contact Dr. Bruce Harte at [email protected].
Thorough overview
One thing that becomes clear on a tour at MSU is that the School of Packaging gives students an overview of packaging that is thorough enough to help them understand just what it takes to be a packaging professional. The plastics processing lab for instance includes not only blown- and cast-film extrusion equipment but also compression molding thermoforming and tray sealing systems too. In the paper lab a cad/cam table helps students learn how to print cut and fold both paperboard cartons and corrugated shippers. And in the packaging equipment lab a portal for scanning radio frequency identification tags is among the latest arrivals.
"We're moving pretty aggressively into supply chain management so naturally we're putting a special emphasis on RFID" says Harte.
Joining Dr. Selke during PW's tour of the MSU School of Packaging was undergrad Kristy Radakovic a junior this year. In one of the packaging labs she helped demonstrate a custom-built device that measures how much time a subject spends looking at various areas on a package. Dr. Laura Bix explains how the device works.
"It uses what's known as a 'bright-pupil technique'" says Bix. "It sends a near-infrared light beam which is outside the visible spectrum at the eye. Then an algorithm factors in both pupil and corneal reflection to pinpoint what part of the package the eye is focused on."
"This kind of device is less likely to be used in the classroom" adds Selke. "It's really designed more for research. It's being used to examine tamper-evident or child-resistant warnings labels on packages. If you ask someone to find a warning label on a package is there any guarantee that they'll find it? Is it conspicuous enough? This device gives us some insight into such things."
Shortly after this demonstation our tour of MSU took us to the machinery lab where graduate student Kirk Valko demonstrated the extrusion blow molding system that is part of MSU's arsenal of teaching tools. Also on hand was Dr. Harold Hughes a professor whose special area of expertise is on the machinery side of the packaging function. He described one particular equipment need that the School of Packaging constantly faces.
"We need equipment that is small and relatively slow. Otherwise it wouldn't function well in what is after all a classroom setting. But we also want that equipment to have the latest in modern controls technology. How else can we prepare our students for the workplace of the future? Sometimes it's difficult to find this unusual combination of equipment characteristics—lab-sized yet technically current. "
Study abroad
While most students at the School of Packaging register for classes offered on-campus MSU also has overseas study programs typically in Japan the United Kingdom France Sweden and Spain.
"The idea is to give students some exposure to packaging from someone else's perspective" says Harte. "What approach do other cultures take in areas like packaging security marketing shelf impact and so on?"
Online study is another option. Through the Internet the School of Packaging brings its Master of Science in Packaging program to online learners who have access to the same curriculum and professors as the on-campus learners. And if a Master's Degree is not in a packaging professional's plans but that person seeks expanded knowledge in a particular area he or she can enroll in one or several courses depending on interest and time available.
Innovative and flexible offerings like these are among the reasons that MSU's School of Packaging has flourished for more than half a century. Sara Risch the newly appointed director of the school aims to maintain these high standards. She believes it's the quality of the faculty that more than any other key strength will make that possible.
"Our greatest strength as we head into the future is our phenomenal faculty" says Risch. "They like teaching and they like the field they're working in. Plus they have strengths in so many different areas of packaging. That's so important to the strength of the program."

Markus was born in a beautiful place called Suedtirol in Northern Italy. His relationship with hotels and especially the bar started at a very young age as he grew up in a little "Gasthof" (small hotel). His uncle gave him the responsibility of stocking the bar and recycling the used bottles and paid Markus for his hard work in 'fizzy drinks'! Markus joined the Milestone in 2008 and within two years was promoted to Head Bartender. He is very excited and proud to welcome you to Stables Bar and hopes to make you feel truly at home in your very own little private bar. Among his favourite drinks is a Hendricks Martini, a simple but delicious and very easy drink to prepare at home, after a hard day at work.

Tech Association Endorses Satellite Combo
The Association for Competitive Technology recently filed comments with the Federal Communications Commission and Department of Justice in support of the proposed merger between EchoStar and DirecTV.
Representing more than 3,000 information technology companies, ACT said it believes this merger will enable a combined company "to finally deliver true broadband access to rural areas, spurring economic growth and delivering valuable telemedicine and distance learning applications."
The group cited research from the National Telecommunications and Information Administration and Rural Utilities Service that said less than 5 percent of towns with populations of 10,000 or fewer have cable modem or DSL service. The primary reason for slower deployment of cable and DSL systems in rural areas is economic, the organization said.
"The reality is that satellite broadband will be the only means of delivering broadband service to these areas in the near future. Unfortunately, these satellite providers will need to make major upgrades in technology to make it happen," said Jonathan Zuck, president of ACT.

Comments about Z Palette Customizable Makeup Palette Large, Leopard, 1 ea:
I LOVE these palettes! Now, I can keep all brands of eyeshadow, blush, etc conveniently in the same palette rather than having to have different palettes suited to each brand. Also, its so nice to "de-pot" large gift palettes (i.e. UD Book of Shadows) and down size to these. There is a review that said that their pans didn't stick to this; some pans must have magnets stuck to the back of them in order to stick because their pans are made of aluminum which isn't a magnetic metal.
They are fairly heavy, much heavier than MAC palettes, more similar in weight to the Stila 8-pan palette, but they are sturdy.
Best Uses
Comments about Z Palette Customizable Makeup Palette Large, Leopard, 1 ea:
My makeup pans didn't magnetize to this. Also it's for home use and not for carrying around. It's very heavy. But my various shadows didn't stick to this. I prefer buying palettes from the makeup brand itself. This didn't work at all.

Brookhaven officials are considering a proposal to build large-scale renewable green energy facilities on as many as 15 town-owned sites over the next two years.
Supervisor Ed Romaine this week unveiled the "Take the Town Green" plan at Brookhaven Town Hall. If approved, the proposal could net the town an estimated $40 million to $50 million over the next 20 years.
Romaine plan's primary component is a private-public partnership with solar developer American Capital Energy to construct solar panel arrays and small-scale wind turbine sites at town-operated facilities.
"This is by far the most sweeping renewable energy plan on Long Island and puts the town on a green path to rely less on foreign sources of fuel and to reduce our carbon footprint," Romaine said.
The town board was scheduled to vote Tuesday night on whether to allow the town attorney to enter contract negotiations with American Capital. The full proposal, if implemented, would generate up to 50 megawatts of alternating current electricity, enough to power 8,400 homes.
The developer would sell the energy produced to LIPA through a Power Purchase Agreement with the utility company.
Each of the proposed sites will include at least one, or a combination of ground, roof or car port solar panel arrays with some having wind turbines. In addition, a plane port solar array is being proposed for Calabro Airport in Shirley.
The 15 town-owned sites proposed are:
- Brookhaven Town Hall
- Manorville Compose Facility
- Waste Management Complex (Yaphank Landfill)
- Holtsville Park Ecology Center
- Moriches Athletic Complex
- Centereach Pool
- Vehicle Control Building
- Calabro Airport in Shirley
- Brookhaven Amphitheater
- Medford Athletic Complex
- Percy Raynor Memorial Park
- Martha Avenue Recreation Complex
- Mastic Aquatic Center and Skate Park (optional)
- Cedar Beach (optional)
- Corey Beach (optional)
In addition, 10 solar fueling stations are proposed for Town Hall to allow residents to charge the batteries in electric powered vehicles.
The project, once completed, would be the larger in megawatts than the 200-acre solar farm at Brookhaven National Laboratory.

Misty Carter Murder Trial Begins
Updated: Tuesday, March 26 2013, 03:18 PM EDT
Testimony begins in the case of a Henderson County man accused of killing his pregnant girlfriend. Jermaine Glover is charged with first degree murder in the October 2009 beating death of Misty Carter. Her nude and burned body was found by a passerby on the Blue Ridge Parkway.
Jurors Tuesday morning toured several locations that are key in the chain of events that led to Carter's death. The man who discovered the body testified that when he first saw the body lying in a gravel parking area. He thought it was a deer, but then stopped to take a second look.
The witness told the court that before he discovered the body, he almost collided with a truck driven by a man who looked like defendant Jermaine Glover. Gerald Knaus described Glover as a dark-skinned male with a mustache. Knaus pointed to Glover and said "right there."
A lengthy list of potential witnesses was presented and jurors were told the trial could last a week or more.

There is no treatment that can replace insulin for anyone with type 1 diabetes. People who have type 1 diabetes must use injected insulin (exogenous insulin) every day to survive.
It's been suggested that some substances may help with blood sugar control, but none have been proved to effectively manage or prevent type 1 diabetes. Some of the substances that have been tested and found ineffective for blood sugar control include nicotinamide, vitamin D, cinnamon, zinc and alpha-lipoic acid.
There isn't yet enough evidence on vitamin E or chromium to assess whether or not these substances might be helpful in lowering blood sugar levels.
