For Immediate Release November 14, 2011 Contacts: Neil Tickner, 301 405 4622 or email@example.com UMD Creates New 'Council on the Environment,' Appoints Busalacchi Chair COLLEGE PARK, Md. - The University of Maryland is creating a new Council on the Environment, to help coordinate the institution's expanding high-level research in the various aspects of global change. University of Maryland Professor Antonio Busalacchi, in the Department of Atmospheric and Oceanic Science, will serve as its chair. The Council on the Environment will operate as an advisory group on research, education, outreach and economic development related to the environment, and will report to University of Maryland Vice President for Research Patrick O'Shea and Provost Ann Wylie. As chair of the new Council, Busalacchi will coordinate and oversee strategic efforts to place the University of Maryland at the forefront of environmental and earth system science. Busalacchi will help promote the unique strengths that distinguish UMD from its peers, and develop new partnerships with federal and state government agencies and laboratories, corporations and academic institutions. Busalacchi plays a prominent role in a number of international research efforts. He chairs both the Joint Scientific Committee for the World Climate Research Programme and the National Academy of Sciences/National Research Council (NAS/NRC) Board on Atmospheric Sciences and Climate. At UMD, he directs the Earth System Science Interdisciplinary Center (ESSIC), an interdisciplinary effort operated jointly by the University's Departments of Atmospheric and Oceanic Science, Geology, and Geography, along with the Earth Sciences Directorate at the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center. "We are delighted to have Dr. Busalacchi lead this important campus initiative aimed at maximizing the University of Maryland's impact on national and global environmental initiatives," says O'Shea. Busalacchi and the Council will also seek out new transdisciplinary research opportunities involving multiple campus units, and promote economic development related to environmental initiatives. The council will work closely with internal and external constituencies, including deans, department chairs and center directors in the natural sciences, engineering, public policy, national security, computational science, social sciences, communications, and health sciences, as well as government, corporate and non-profit representatives. "The Council on the Environment will advance the university's efforts to provide creative, interdisciplinary approaches to environmental challenges worldwide," said Wylie. "Professor Busalacchi is the right person to lead this initiative." Nationally, the Council will help elevate the university's interaction with and support for the U.S. Global Change Research Program (GCRP) and its recent strategic plan for 2012-2021. The 13 federal agencies that constitute the GCRP address critical gaps in the nation's environmental research agenda. Internationally, the Council will work with a new 10-year initiative on Earth System Sustainability by the International Council for Science, the International Social Science Council, and the Belmont Forum, a high level group of major funders of global environmental change research, together with United Nations Environment Programme, United Nations University and United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization. The goal of the Earth System Sustainability initiative is to deliver knowledge to enable societies to meet their sustainable development goals in the next decades. The UMD Council on the Environment will help ensure that Maryland is engaged in this international effort. BUSALACCHI'S INTERNATIONAL SCIENTIFIC ENGAGEMENT Busalacchi, a professor in the Department of Atmospheric and Oceanic Science and director of the Earth System Science Interdisciplinary Center (ESSIC), came to the University of Maryland in 2000, after serving as Chief of the NASA Goddard Laboratory for Hydrospheric Processes. He received his Ph.D. degree in oceanography from Florida State University in 1982. He has studied tropical ocean circulation and its role in the coupled climate system. His interests include the study of climate variability and prediction, tropical ocean modeling, ocean remote sensing, and data assimilation. His research in these areas has supported a range of international and national research programs dealing with global change and climate, particularly as affected by the oceans. Internationally, Busalacchi has long been active in U.S. and international research efforts serving on a number of panels:
Busalacchi is a Fellow of the American Meteorological Society (AMS), American Geophysical Union, and in 2006 was selected by the AMS to be the Walter Orr Roberts Interdisciplinary Science Lecturer. MEDIA CONTACTS Ted Knight Lee Tune |

USF2000 Championship c/o Andersen RacePark 10101 U.S. Highway 41 North Palmetto, FL 34221
Phone (941) 723-3900 Fax (941) 723-3992
Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
The goal of the Cooper Tires USF2000 Championship Powered by Mazda is to provide a professional, entry-level open-wheel training ground as the first official step on the Mazda Road to Indy ladder - a clearly-defined path to the IZOD IndyCar Series and Indianapolis 500.
Michelle brings a wealth of experience to Andersen Promotions. As series administrator for the USF2000/Cooper Tires F2000 series from the late 1990's through 2005, her responsibilities included race scheduling, event planning, hospitality, travel planning, marketing, record-keeping and customer support. Her ongoing relationships with tracks, race teams and drivers were a valuable asset to Andersen Racing, where she served as manager of operations from 2006 through 2010. Michelle's experience in the promotional and team owner's side of racing make her uniquely qualified to oversee the USF2000 Championship and also serve as series manager for the Pro Mazda Championship Presented by Cooper Tires.
Paul comes to the USF2000 Championship from the Formula BMW USA series, where he served as race director. He is currently the race director for the American Le Mans Series and GRAND-AM Series, and Competition Director for Pro Mazda. Paul is a veteran of the IndyCar/CART ranks as a team and operations manager, primarily with Tasman Motorsports Group, where he worked from 1996 through 2001. He owns a project-management consultancy firm, Metropolis Motorsports Group, as well as a design and fabrication business. Both are located in Columbus, Ohio.
John has been involved in open-wheel racing for nearly two decades, serving as Director of Race Operations for the Cooper Tires F2000 Championship (the successor to the USF2000 series) through the end of 2006. In recent years John managed Andersen Racing's Firestone Indy Lights team. His management and organizational skills enables him to effectively oversee the logistical aspects of both the USF2000 and Pro Mazda Series as Director of Logistics.
Bill has been involved with motorsports since 1974, beginning with autocross events and road rallies. In 1998, he progressed to road racing with the SCCA and has competed in several categories over the years. During the early 1990s, he built racing engines and crewed in IMSA competition. Bill first worked with USF2000 as an Assistant Starter in 1997, and continued with the series for many years working technical inspection, pit lane and the starting grid. Bill and his wife Shelia, who serves as the Event Administrative Assistant for the series, have owned an automotive repair shop for over 20 years and, in his spare time, Bill continues to compete in SCCA club racing events. He also holds an SCCA National Starter License. Bill will also serve as Technical Assistant in the Pro Mazda Series.
Suzi is the first staff member many participants meet. She is the registrar for both the USF2000 and Pro Mazda Series, and she also helps with IMSA registration when needed. A resident of Westminster, Calif., she has been a volunteer registrar for 20 years after getting introduced to the sport in 1988 by an ex-boyfriend who raced in the SCCA Formula Mazda Championship Series. In addition to traveling to races, Suzi holds a full-time job with First American Title PRES. Single, she says her goal is to find a single man who has a job, a car and can cook, adding that the only reason she has a kitchen is because it came with her house. In addition to racing she is very interested in photography and crafts such as needlework and beading.
Driver Development program as a well as a Team USA Scholarship. He finished second in his debut in the 2008 Star Mazda Series, has made starts in Firestone Indy Lights and GRAND-AM and this year will continue in the sports car ranks in addition to instructing at the Skip Barber Racing School. He most recently was part of Mazda Motorsport's line-up in the 2013 Rolex 24 at Daytona aboard the all-new SKYACTIV-D clean diesel-powered Mazda6. Joel will also serve as the Pro Mazda driver coach.
Ken brings over 20 years of experience in the fields of corporate sales and hospitality services. A graduate of UNC at Wilmington, he has managed sales, corporate hospitality and special events for the Canteen Corporation and Nextel Communications as well as the PGA and Nationwide tour events. In 2004, Ken decided to follow his passion in the world of racing. He founded BMS Group, LLC, working with up-and-coming drivers and teams on sponsorship acquisitions and hospitality services.

i posted this question in indesign forum but maybe here's the better place to ask this question.
i've gone to this DPS yet. as Indesign can create an app, just wonder if i need to create a different documents for different devices.
i want to have the same master document that can target different devices. however, resolution is vary in different devices. that's why i want to confirm.
anyone know?
That all boil down to what you are willing to do.
Yes you need different Documents for the different Tablets as DPS does not yet support the liquid layout feature in CS6
So if you were designing for a 7" you would design a document tailored to that, and if for the iPad then a seperate document tailored for that
Unless you're happy to have all your iPad pages a smoothscroll (Longer than the height of the screen) and integrate the layouts so they work seamlessly
Or you could learn HTML and flow your content in.... but I wouldn't know where to start with that one!
Hope this helps!
A small correction to the above: you can use the CS6 alternate layouts feature to create one InDesign document that contains layouts for different devices. You can also use the liquid page rules feature in InDesign to help automate the generation of that second device layout contained in the same file.
This is a great workflow enhancement and for many types of content will really reduce the time required to create two different devices.
What we don't currently support is the ability to have one layout that runs on multiple devices and adapts on the fly (at device render time) to the different screen size.
thanks neil,
i heard about the liquid page which is like what you said, automatially rearranging the text and pictures boxes to different layout. its time-saving feature for sure.
i think that feature still have the master page. if i change my layout for difference devices, i want to update my content, each of the page for different devices will be updated too.
If you use alternate layouts in CS6 the content, by default, is connected across layouts. This means if you update the text on the master layout (the first one in the file) that will be reflected as an out-of-date link in the links panel for the other device layouts.
Alternate layouts and liquid page rules work hand-in-hand. If you choose you can use liquid page rules to speed up the process of laying out your alternate layouts. You are not required, however, to do so. If you like you can just generate an alternate layout without any page rules applied. You'll get a layout that doesn't fit at all on the new page, but can then move the elements around manually to get your desired design.

Miguel Cabrera is a really good hitter (go figure), Doug Fister starts rehabbing his rib injury, and it's already going down in Boston. These stories and more in today's Morning Prowl.
Detroit Tigers' Miguel Cabrera voted second most intimidating hitter by his peers - MLive, Justin Rogers
This is not surprising in the slightest. Seeing guys like David Ortiz and Michael Young in the top 5 is, however.
Tigers' Doug Fister throws off mound - The Detroit News, Tom Gage
Fister threw just 10 pitches and the training staff is waiting to see how he feels today before moving forward with his recovery. It's safe to say that he's probably another couple weeks away from coming back though.

A Detroit Tigers Blog: Remembering Brian Bluhm - Tiger Tales, Lee Panas
Yesterday was the 5-year anniversary of the tragedy at Virginia Tech. Bluhm was a Tigers fan who was killed in the shooting. And just as he has done each year, Curtis Granderson dedicated his Facebook page to Bluhm's memory yesterday.
Raburn And His Apparent Allergy To April Success - Motor City Bengals, John Verburg
May has actually been an even bigger struggle throughout Raburn's career, but his April struggles might have something to do with it (like planting him on the bench).
Around the AL Central:
Orioles 10, White Sox 4: Home run barrage stuns bullpen - South Side Sox, Jim Margalus
"The thing is, the Orioles didn't play particularly well. Before the 10th-inning explosion, they were 1-for-9 with runners in scoring position. They struck out 15 times, in part due to Lance Barrett's very large strike zone."
Detroit Tigers' Jim Leyland: Those who doubt White Sox 'know nothing about baseball' - MLive, Chris Iott
Leyland had some nice things to say about the White Sox after their series last weekend, as well as some jabs at many of the pundits that predict how the season will unfold.
Twins drop slumping Justin Morneau in lineup - HardballTalk, Matthew Pouliot
"Justin Morneau finished the spring in a frenzy, but it hasn't carried over, as he's hit just .206/.270/.353 with two RBI and 10 strikeouts in 34 at-bats since the regular season started."
Elsewhere in Baseball:
Valentine: Youkilis not as much into the game - Boston Globe, Peter Abraham
Boston Red Sox manager Bobby Valentine got into some serious hot water yesterday after calling out Kevin Youkilis' effort so far this season. Valentine later apologized after pretty much the entire team sided with Youk.
Madison Bumgarner signs five-year, $35 million deal, could remain with Giants through 2019 - Big League Stew, Kevin Kaduk
Tim Lincecum, who has been struggling like mad this season, is only under contract through 2013, yet Bumgarner and Matt Cain have new contracts. Is this a sign of things to come from the Giants?
Watch this.

I have wanted to plant rhubarb for some time and tried planting some last year with no success. I decided to give it one more try and this time I ordered the rhubarb from Gardeners Supply Company. I couldn't be more pleased. I planted it about a month ago and the rhubarb has taken off and is looking very healthy. I gave this 4 stars, because it's still young and I want to see how it performs over the coming year, but it looks so healthy that I am confident the plants will do well and bring many years of rhubarb for my family.
- Was this a gift?:
- No
I had gotten a half dozen rhubarb roots from another retailer and they were desicated on arrival so I ordered from Gardeners Supply and what a difference! They were huge, rock-solid, with growth nodes evident and so healthy I couln't believe the fine quality. They are now producing bright red stems with huge leaves and are so healthy! My husband loves strawberry & rhubarb pies and shortcakes as well as spooning over ice cream and he is delighted that I got these for him. I also got asparagus and they were just as high quality. We are very pleased with Gardeners Supply.

Rhubarb is one of the least demanding of all crops. Once established, there's little work required. A happy plant will produce for decades. Grow rhubarb in full sun, in rich, lightly moist soil.

Computers: Normally, wifi is great and unless it is midterms for finals week, laptops are easy to come by; however if you live in the dorms, wifi is horrendous and you have to go to another campus building.
Computers: There are three different computer labs, or at least that I know of. If all the computers are occupied, you can check out a laptop to borrow for a few hours. I always have wifi around campus. Each student receives 800 print credits per semester, which I have never completely used. Bringing a computer isn't necessary, but it would be nice to have one if you wanted to do homework in your dorm, instead of having to go to the library.
Computers: There is wireless internet almost everywhere on campus, only sometimes it is a bit slow.
Computers: I use my laptop so I don't know much about the labs
Computers: Used to be bad but many improvements have helped it be better.

Angelo State University has good computer labs that are generally up-to-date and available to students. There does happen to be a slight shortage of availability due to space and lack of non-teaching labs. Most students have their own computers, so this isn't too much of a problem, but for those who do not, it could be an issue. The MCS (Math and Computer Science) building at ASU has a lab available for the student body and has 14 computers at its "print station" for students who merely need a lab to print off a paper or lab manual. The library commons has a lab and printer but also checks out laptops to students. The public lab computers also have up to date software programs such as Adobe creative design packages.
Each student at ASU is allotted 800 free print credits each semester, with additional credits costing $10 per 100 credits. The school server keeps track of how many sheets of paper a student prints. The 800-credit limit has been subject of controversy among students, with some barely needing any credits and some majors having to print out more material for class than the 800 allows for. So far no word on whether the limit will be raised. Along with print credits, students are also allotted a small amount of server space to save projects in that can be accessed from any ASU computer connected to the server.

Ever wondered what a book tour looks like from a writer's point of view? I'm filming my US tour as I go along. I'm enjoying it and I hope you will too! (If you'd like to attend one of the live events, the full list is here).
One Comment
It was fabulous to hear you speak about your book & the path that got you to where you are today as a writer. Very inspiring, as well as completely amusing. I've been enjoying Little Bee so much that unlike my usual attack and conquer style of reading, I am savoring it bit by bit so that I can make it last a little longer. Write quickly as I can not wait to read whatever you have coming next, and I am not sure that I can contunue to thwart my desire to devour Little Bee in one feel swoop! (I admit, I snuck in Incenidary between chapters) Thank you for coming to Milwaukee and sharing a bit of yourself with us. (P.S. Good luck in regaining the home kingdom…those small conquerers can be unstoppable once they have felt the power…mine began telling me at age 3 "well you know I am the man of the house when dad isn't here….." )

text: When Eddie Dopkin first described Miss Shirley's to us about a year ago, it was to be geared as much toward carry-out as toward sit-down meals. Well, that was the idea, but French toast that good deserved to be enjoyed right away, at a table. So it made sense to move Miss Shirley's into the much larger space across the street (513 W. Cold Spring Lane, 410-889-5272) when Big Sky Bread Company moved out. And for a while, it seemed like the Sunday-morning lines had eased, though recent visits have found a 45-minute wait standard once again (weekday lunchtime, however, is easier to negotiate). Meanwhile, Dopkin quickly opened a new restaurant in the original Miss Shirley's space: S'ghetti Eddie's (410 W. Cold Spring Lane, 410-235-5999). This time, the place really is all about the carry-out: Even if you dine in, meals come in plastic to-go containers. The menu is limited mostly to subs, a few pasta dishes, and pizza. The last is probably the restaurant's best option, with interesting toppings like broccoli rabe and smoked provolone. Fans of Miss Shirley's may be disappointed in S'ghetti Eddie's more bare-bones approach, but the place does still provide one fabulous amenity: a free parking lot for patrons of both restaurants, as well as the Dopkin-owned (and recently merged) Loco Hombre/Alonso's across the street.

These strategies may lead you to a winning formula for scoring private funds to help pay tuition.
Your best shot at "free money" -- grants and scholarships vs. loans and work/study -- comes from government agencies and the colleges themselves. So be sure to fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid at fafsa.ed.gov and suss out schools most likely to give your child money at sites like collegedata.com and meritaid.com.
Beyond this assistance, though, there's another $11 billion or so a year in private scholarships given out by foundations and companies, the College Board reports. About 8% of students receive these awards, averaging just over $3,400 but ranging up to the full cost of attendance, according to the U.S. Department of Education.
To help improve the chances that your kid will be one of the lucky ones, MONEY tapped a team of high school and college students to conduct an informal test of the most popular scholarship search engines (see below), in addition to seeking advice from college aid experts. Here are their tips.
Uncover national gems online
The leading scholarship search engines, such as Fastweb, Cappex, and Scholarships.com, get millions of visitors a year. Most focus on big awards available countrywide. A sampling: the Coca-Cola Scholars Program grants for high school seniors with outstanding leadership ($10,000 to $20,000); the Elks National Foundation competition for Most Valuable Student ($4,000 to $50,000); and the John F. Kennedy Profiles in Courage essay contest ($500 to $10,000) from the J.F.K. Library and Museum.

Understand going in, though, that these lucrative awards have infinitesimal odds: Coke, for one, received 112,000 applications last year for its 250 awards, making this scholarship about 25 times as selective as Stanford. So weigh your child's qualifications against the time and effort required to apply, says Katy Murphy, president of the National Association for College Admission Counseling.
Watch out for potholes
Sorting through the several dozen or more "matches" that scholarship sites spit out can be tedious, as our student testers discovered. "I was surprised at how exhausting the process is," says Kiera Crenny, a rising senior at Conestoga High School in Berwyn, Pa.
Testers also found many suggestions to be an obvious mismatch -- such as scholarships for Missouri natives that popped up for kids from Virginia -- and relatively few for which they had unique qualifications. Though you'll have to wade through even more mismatches, you can increase the number of promising scholarships you find by creating multiple profiles on several sites, says Ben Kaplan, author of How to Go to College Almost for Free. Kaplan, who says he won $90,000 in outside scholarships to help pay for his Harvard degree, says, "Use keywords like, say, 'physics' for one and 'science' for another because the matching software might give you different results."
Another problem: Many sites cluttered results with "scholarship" suggestions that were really just marketing sweepstakes offering the chance to win a prize in return for providing the company with contact info for family and friends. To avoid getting tripped up, says Amy Weinstein, executive director at the National Scholarship Providers Association, "Use your common sense. Don't give information about others without their consent."
Look closer to home too
In addition to looking at scholarship sites, Kaplan advises checking out organizations your child has a connection with, such as your church or employer, and talking to his high school counselor. Local scholarships have less competition.
Related: Tips on winning a scholarship
University of Connecticut freshman Brian Liang says he spent about 12 hours last year combing websites and applying to private scholarships. The two he won -- a total of $1,100 -- were regional contests found through his high school.
Get the timing right
Some of the biggest scholarships have deadlines in the fall, so urge your child to start looking online now. Also block off time in January, since 25% of private scholarships listed with the College Board had deadlines in February.
If your child does land an award, you should also be prepared to step in to protect it. About 20% of colleges cut their own grants to students who win private money, a recent NSPA study found. Scholarship America, which manages dozens of scholarship contests, advises recipients to ask their schools to reduce loans instead. If that doesn't work, the student should ask the scholarship provider for help, since colleges typically want good relations with funders.

I've just bought a cool poster that I want to mount onto a board (then build a frame around the board), but I am wondering what the best adhesive would be. Is wall paper paste lumpy? Will spray adhesive be strong enough if I weigh it down with another board? This will be a one shot deal and it was expensive so have to make sure whatever I use works. Any experience out there? Thanks
If you really want the poster right, take it to a place that will mount it properly (they can attach it to any number of surfaces). Normally they use a dry mount paper and press. Wallpaper paste (or any other paste for that matter) is too wet and will ripple the paper or could actually eventually eat through it (wallpaper is very thick so that doesn't happen). Spray adhesive is fine but can be really tricky to get on evenly (and you have to use the right one... see an art supply store) or you can also have problems in getting it even. Some of them also give you one chance only, no mistakes so you have to know what you are doing (or on the other side of it, don't stay stuck).
Note, even if you put the thing under glass it should be properly mounted or it can just look tooo loose and ripply.
Hi Comoxpainter... definitely NOT wallpaper paste. The dampness can ruin your poster.
I had a print/poster that I took to a framer (just one of those places in the mall... not a high quality "art" framing place)... he adhered the print to a foamcore backing then framed it for me. It was perfect. If I were you, and if this poster is really special to you (i.e., you don't want to ruin it), I'd take it to a framer and have him/her adhere it for you. You don't have to have them frame it... just stick it to foamcore.
If you definitely don't want to do this, then spray adhesive is your next best thing.
Good luck
Why do you want to glue it onto something would it not be better to just back it with foamcore or heavy cardboard then frame like a picture.

Arinot wrote:Ari looked behind him to see those three same people still following him. They didn't pause or anything, just continually slugged along. It was almost unnerving, but he thought about it a second. They were just walking and they weren't exactly close. In fact, they were at least a block behind. If he picked up pace, he could probably loose them!
Ari's unnerved speed walk slowly evolved into a solid jog, putting more and more distance between him and those creepy three people until he made it to the lake path. He then carefully took his time to push the rustling foliage away from himself and made it to the lake...and yet something still didn't feel right, but for now he was going to have his dose of fun for the day.

Takeru wrote:Takeru hummed happily as he walked down the street, eager to join his friends at the beach. He smiled as the sun shone on his face, but something seemed off in the back of his head. He looked around and noticed a small group of people behind him, but at first shrugged them off, knowing that it wasn't uncommon for people to be on this road. He took a few shortcuts, much less common for people to be on, yet the people still followed. He started to panic, his mind jumping to all manner of conclusions: Muggers, rapists, strange government agents come to question him about an intergalactic conspiracy that he didn't know he was involved in. Takeru swallowed hard, and began to sprint, wanting to get as far away from the people as he could.
Icey wrote:At first, Rosa took no notice of the three who were following her. So they were heading in the same direction as her. Big deal. It was a hot day, so its natural that everyone would be heading to the beach. But after another few blocks, she began to feel uneasy. They weren't talking or laughing with each other and they had rather blank looks on their faces.
Remaining calm, Rosa decided to test if they were really following her. She began to speed up slightly in her pace, not too much, but enough to increase the distance between them. They didn't seem to be in any hurry to catch up... at first. One of the group broke out into a jog and the rest followed, closing the distance again, only this time, they were coming in closer.
Rosa quickened her breathing.
Its ok... Just... get something ready... she thought to herself, dipping a hand into her beach bag and grabbed her house keys. She fitted them in a way were a single key stuck out from in between her fingers. With her hand hidden, she prepared herself for any movement by the three.
The trio came closer.
Rosa gripped her keys tightly.
The sounds of their footsteps could be heard now, getting louder.
Rosa tensed her arm, ready to lash out if needed.
The trio came up closer enough to be seen out of the corner of her eye.
Rosa held her breath.
"Beep beep. Beep beep."
The trio slowed from their jog, quietly passing her before returning to their walking pace. On one of the trio's hips, the one who started jogging first, was a small device. Rosa identified it as something that records heart beats. It was still beeping for a few seconds after they stopped jogging.
Rosa released the keys from her grip and let out her held breath silently. It was just a heart patient and his friends out for excerise. She swore at herself for being so paranoid. Yes, there had being two kidnappings of women in her town recently, both resulting in them being drugged and raped, but she was a strong female.
Shaking her head, she continued towards the beach, eager to get the thoughts out of her head. Maybe she'll start by teasing the lifegaurds.
we're definately gonna need a more challenging design for ya to work with for the next round XP

You gather up your swimming suit and make your way to the street, heading in the direction of the lake. The town you live in isn't all that big, the largest building being the supermart in the middle of town. Slowly, you grow aware that there are at least three people following you at a distance...
Xan scoffed as he shuffled at his own pace away from the beach, his friends finally talking him into going for "Boy scouting" they had said. 'Why am I the only gay guy that they chose?' he thought to himself. It was a long sun filled day that gave him blistering sun burn, pounding headaches, and made him feel even more insecure about his body. He grew sick of the sun, waves, and "Boy scouting" quite quickly and decided to head home after three boring hours once the crowd showed up always being asked "Does he look gay to you?" "Is this guy gay?" and the dreaded question due to Xan already on the "Teach-A-Lesson" list by the local jocks "Doesn't he have a nice body/ass?" He was caught looking once by a guy and he looked away blushing. He would have stayed longer after finding each of his three girl friends a boy to flirt with but his real reason for leaving had started arriving. Seagulls. Xan was terrified of seagulls almost as much as he was spiders. One landed quite close to him as he huddled up to himself in his navy blue hoodie and blue sport shorts and he just got up and left.
It was getting dark. it was dark enough to where you'd need your headlights yet light enough to where you could see without them, kinda like a blue filter in a good horror movie. He was contemplating how well the day went when he heard something behind him. Stopping for a second it sounded like three somethings, three very drunk somethings. He looked behind himself and saw the jackasses that had made his senior year in high school living hell. Xan started walking again when he heard something "HEY FAGGOT!" from behind him. It was Adam the only human out of the three and probably the most hateful out of them all. Adam was known to follow students he didn'tlike in his car to corner them and throw eggs at them, the guy was a complete dueche. The tallest of the two was Tyler, a lion. He was your typical basketball jock, not to skinny yet not to muscular. The other guy was Jessie, he was a rabbit from the track team. He didn't talk much but out of all the people Xan knew he hated gays the worst. Xan lifted his hood up and covered his husky like ears, himself being a fox/husky hybrid or a fusky. Xan continued to speed up his pace to where he was almost power walking. But before he knew it he was being dragged backwards, his fox tail being dragged underneath him. "Hey lookie here boys, I gotta fox thing" Jessie said slowly in a slurred manner. Tyler laughed "Who wants to find out if he's catching or pitching?" he joked. Adam just smiled "All we gotta do is punch him hard enough and he'll pitch for the right team this time right?" Xan hated all three of them and pretended to struggle as Jessie dragged him. The rabbit smiled "Oh he's feisty." He heard one of them pick up something hollow from the road when he made his own move. Quickly with his adrenaline pumping he unzipped his hoodie, slipped out, and ran. He knew he wasn't fast enough to outrun Jessie but the rabbit was slow to realize things.
Xan made it about a block before getting tackled. "You sure can run." The rabbit said as Xan struggled underneath him. Tyler helped Jessie hold Xan as they 'helped' him up. Adam smiled and hit Xan in the gut with pvc pipe which stung more than it actually hurt but it still knocked the wind out of the victim. Xan slumped and caught his breathe as Adam tossed the hollow tool aside "Now the moment you like pussy then you can go but until then," he hit Xan across the face "you're gunna get it" Adam pulled out his phone and pulled up a picture of his girlfriend topless "Does this turn you on?" Xan shook his head only to get hit again and asked the same question. The process lasted about five or six rounds until Adam decied to change the picture "How about this?" he said as he showed Xan a picture of the blue waffle, a picture which resulted in Xan throwing up. Adam laughed "Well you know what's good pussy at least." he was half way to Xan's gut when a voice called out "HEY WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" the guy it belonged to was a red fox with blue head fur and a blue tipped tail. Seeing the person Jessie and Tyler both dropped Xan on his face and ran with Adam. The fix ran up to Xan and helped him up "Hey are you ok?" he asked. Xan shrugged "I've been better." The fox took off his jacket and gave it to Xan after xan took his puke stained shirt off "Here it's chilly. What were they doing?" he asked. Xan sighed and started walking again "Teaching me to be straight..." he said as he looked over at the fox who was coming with him "I never caught your name." The fox laughed "I never gave it but it's Kazuma. C'mon I'll walk you home." he said as he put his arm around Xan that would seem friendly to many but to some it would seem to say "Mine". Xan smiled, feeling comforted "I'm Xan"

ANNAPOLIS, MD – The Chesapeake Bayhawks have captured two of the last three Major League Lacrosse championships. The Bayhawks are the winningest franchise in league history and this year's team is comprised of numerous players who have hoisted the Steinfeld Trophy multiple times.
Defenseman Brian Spallina, attackman John Grant Jr. and midfielder Casey Powell are among the current Bayhawks who have earned MLL titles with at least two different franchises.
Head coach Dave Cottle is hopeful that pedigree will make a difference during Major League Lacrosse Championship Weekend, being held this Saturday and Sunday at PPL Park in Chester, Pa. Cottle pointed out that several other members of the team, including starting goalkeeper Kip Turner and standout midfielder Kyle Dixon, have secured championships at both the collegiate and professional levels.
"I would think it gives you tremendous confidence that you can be successful at the greatest sporting moment of your season," Cottle said of players who have been part of several championship teams. "To become a champion, you have to be able to eliminate the distractions and concentrate on the task at hand."
Second-seeded Chesapeake (9-5) will be seeking to defend its crown when it meets No. 3 Hamilton (9-5) in Saturday's second semifinal (4 pm). Top-seeded Denver (14-0) will take on No. 4 Charlotte (7-7) in the first semifinal (1 pm) with the winners meeting on Sunday (3 pm) for the Steinfeld Trophy.
For Chesapeake, it is the exact same scenario as last season when it came in seeded second and beat host Boston in the semis then beat No. 1 Denver, 16-6, in the finals at Harvard Stadium in Cambridge, Mass.
"I think there is a lot that can be learned from what happened last year. In 2012, we felt all along that our team would be its strongest when we got everyone together at Championship Weekend," Cottle said. "It's a very similar situation this season. We have been steadily building to this moment and are playing our best lacrosse going into the postseason. We are very confident, but at the same time we are not arrogant. I can promise you one thing - the Bayhawks will be ready this weekend."
Chesapeake splits its two regular season meetings with Hamilton, falling 12-11 in overtime at home on June 1st then notching a convincing 17-10 victory on the road 28 days later. Head coach Dave Huntley led the Nationals to an MLL crown in 2009.
"Hamilton has played a certain way all season. It is a hard-working and unselfish team and that is a real compliment to Coach Huntley," Cottle said. "Hamilton is great in transition and has a tremendous goalie in Brett Queener. They have the best ground ball guy to ever play MLL in Brodie Merrill and two terrific offensive players in Kevin Crowley and Joe Walters. Obviously, this is going to be a stiff challenge for our team."
Hamilton is led in scoring by Crowley, who was named MLL Most Valuable Player on Thursday. The third-year midfielder out of Stony Brook, who was previously chosen Brine Offensive Player of the Year, leads the league with 55 points on 38 goals and 14 assists.
"Crowley is the best player in the league without the ball. He can catch anything inside and is a very accurate shooter," said Cottle, adding that Barney Ehrmann and Michael Simon will probably share the critical defensive assignment on Saturday.
Hamilton has other potent offensive threats, particularly in midfielder Joe Walters (48 points). Rookie defenseman Jesse Bernhardt did a good job on Walters in the last meeting and will likely cover him again. That leaves rookie Garrett Thul to deal with. Cottle said Nicky Polanco, who did not dress for the last two regular season games, might be a good matchup for the 6-foot-3, 231-pound Thul.
"We have decisions to make with regard to whether we dress five or six long poles and who those defensemen should be," Cottle said.
Chesapeake is led offensively by attackman Drew Westervelt, who received votes for the Brine Offensive Player of the Year award. The 6-foot-5, 205-pound shooting marksman put up the best numbers of his seven-year professional career with 48 points on 36 goals and 12 assists.
"We just have to continue what we've been doing the last few weeks, which is being unselfish and sharing the ball," Westervelt stated. "I think the key is to be patient, to work for the best possible shot. We don't want to take the first option, but rather the best option. What's great about this league is that it doesn't matter what you do during the regular season. This is the real season and everyone comes in even. It's all about who steps up and performs on that championship stage."
Left-handed attackman Ben Rubeor, a steady and reliable veteran, is the team's second-leading scorer with 41 points (30 goals, 11 assists) while Grant, a Canadian stick-handling wizard, has 32 points (20, 12). Second-year pro Matt Mackrides has emerged as the Bayhawks' leading midfielder scorer (30 points) while Dixon tops the team with 18 assists.
All-Star goalkeeper Kip Turner enjoyed the finest season of his career with a sizzling .571 save percentage and superb 10.35 goals-against average. Michael Evans, who finished third in voting for the Warrior Defensive Player of the Year, anchors Chesapeake's close unit.
"Kip Turner has been consistent throughout the season. He's an experienced goalie with a championship under his belt. We're hoping Kip can elevate his game this weekend like he did last year at this time," Cottle said.
Face-offs will be critical to postseason success and the Bayhawks will also be looking for specialist Adam Rand to step up. Rand, who is 171-for-356 on draws this season, gave way to backup Matt Dolente then a long pole in the regular season finale. Cottle has said he will only dress one face-off man for Championship Weekend.
You can watch the Bayhawks take on the Nationals at 4pm Saturday on CBS Sports Network. The Championship game will air live on ESPN2 on Sunday at 3pm. The Bayhawks 2014 Season Tickets are now available and can be purchased over the phone by calling the box office 866-99-HAWKS (42957). For the Bayhawks full schedule go to www.thebayhawks.com.

Mechanism and Energetics of Charybdotoxin Unbinding from a Potassium Channel from Molecular Dynamics Simulations Biophysical Journal, Volume 96, Issue 7, 8 April 2009, Pages 2577-2588 Po-chia Chen and Serdar Kuyucak Abstract Ion channel-toxin complexes are ideal systems for computational studies of protein-ligand interactions, because, in most cases, the channel axis provides a natural reaction coordinate for unbinding of a ligand and a wealth of physiological data is available to check the computational results. We use a recently determined structure of a potassium channel-charybdotoxin complex in molecular dynamics simulations to investigate the mechanism and energetics of unbinding. Pairs of residues on the channel protein and charybdotoxin that are involved in the binding are identified, and their behavior is traced during umbrella-sampling simulations as charybdotoxin is moved away from the binding site. The potential of mean force for the unbinding of charybdotoxin is constructed from the umbrella sampling simulations using the weighted histogram analysis method, and barriers observed are correlated with specific breaking of interactions and influx of water molecules into the binding site. Charybdotoxin is found to undergo conformational changes as a result of the reaction coordinate choice—a nontrivial decision for larger ligands—which we explore in detail, and for which we propose solutions. Agreement between the calculated and the experimental binding energies is obtained once the energetic consequences of these conformational changes are included in the calculations.

Elbow Flexibility of the kt38 RNA Kink-Turn Motif Investigated by Free-Energy Molecular Dynamics Simulations Biophysical Journal, Volume 97, Issue 7, 7 October 2009, Pages 2004-2013 Jeremy Curuksu, Jiri Sponer and Martin Zacharias Abstract Kink-turns (K-turns) are common structural motifs that can introduce sharp kinks into double-stranded RNA, and have been proposed to mediate large-scale motions in the ribosome. K-turns consist of a bulge loop region flanked by trans sugar-Hoogsteen G:A pairs, and the sharp kink conformation is stabilized by A-minor interactions (adenine contacting a G:C basepair in the minor groove). Umbrella-sampling molecular dynamics simulations were used to disrupt an A-minor interaction in the ribosomal kt38 turn and to calculate the associated free-energy change. Coupling of umbrella sampling with replica exchanges between neighboring umbrella-sampling intervals could further improve the convergence of the free-energy calculations. The simulations revealed a coupled A-minor disruption and global opening of the K-turn motif, and allowed us to characterize several intermediate A-minor conformations. The calculated free-energy profile indicated a meta-stable, semi-open structure of slightly higher free energy (∼1 kcal mol−1), separated by a small free-energy barrier (∼1.5 kcal mol−1) from the closed (highly kinked) form. Both K-turn states are stabilized by distinct variants of the A-minor interaction. Further opening of the K-turn structure required significantly larger free-energy changes. The semi-open form had a reduced kink angle compatible with experimental data on K-turn solution structures, and opening was coupled to a continuous global unwinding of the K-turn motif. The range of free-energy changes associated with kt38 opening and unwinding are compatible with the idea that K-turns may facilitate biologically relevant motions during large-scale ribosome dynamics.

Free Energy Profile of RNA Hairpins: A Molecular Dynamics Simulation Study Biophysical Journal, Volume 98, Issue 4, 17 February 2010, Pages 627-636 Nan-Jie Deng and Piotr Cieplak Abstract RNA hairpin loops are one of the most abundant secondary structure elements and participate in RNA folding and protein-RNA recognition. To characterize the free energy surface of RNA hairpin folding at an atomic level, we calculated the potential of mean force (PMF) as a function of the end-to-end distance, by using umbrella sampling simulations in explicit solvent. Two RNA hairpins containing tetraloop cUUCGg and cUUUUg are studied with AMBER ff99 and CHARMM27 force fields. Experimentally, the UUCG hairpin is known to be significantly more stable than UUUU. In this study, the calculations using AMBER force field give a qualitatively correct description for the folding of two RNA hairpins, as the calculated PMF confirms the global stability of the folded structures and the resulting relative folding free energy is in quantitative agreement with the experimental result. The hairpin stabilities are also correctly differentiated by the more rapid molecular mechanics-Poisson Boltzmann-surface area approach, but the relative free energy estimated from this method is overestimated. The free energy profile shows that the native state basin and the unfolded state plateau are separated by a wide shoulder region, which samples a variety of native-like structures with frayed terminal basepair. The calculated PMF lacks major barriers that are expected near the transition regions, and this is attributed to the limitation of the 1-D reaction coordinate. The PMF results are compared with other studies of small RNA hairpins using kinetics method and coarse grained models. The two RNA hairpins described by CHARMM27 are significantly more deformable than those represented by AMBER. Compared with the AMBER results, the CHARMM27 calculated ΔGfold for the UUUU tetraloop is in better agreement with the experimental results. However, the CHARMM27 calculation does not confirm the global stability of the experimental UUCG structure; instead, the extended conformations are predicted to be thermodynamically stable in solution. This finding is further supported by separate unrestrained CHARMM27 simulations, in which the UUCG hairpin unfolds spontaneously within 10 ns. The instability of the UUCG hairpin originates from the loop region, and propagates to the stem. The results of this study provide a molecular picture of RNA hairpin unfolding and reveal problems in the force field descriptions for the conformational energy of certain RNA hairpin.

The free energy profiles for four organic cations in right-handed single-helix gramicidin A dimers were computed by using umbrella sampling molecular dynamics with CHARMM. Ion-water column translocations were facilitated by using a novel "water-tunnel" approach. The overlapping pieces of free energy profile for adjacent windows were selected from three trajectories that differed in initial ion rotation and were aligned by the method of umbrella potential differences. Neglected long-range electrostatic energies from the bulk water and the bilayer were computed with DelPhi and added to the profile. The approach was corroborated for the formamidinium-guanidinium pair by using perturbation dynamics at axial positions 0, 6, 12, and 15 A from the channel center. The barrier to ethylammonium entry was prohibitive at 21 kcal/mol, whereas for methylammonium it was 5.5 kcal/mol, and the profile was quite flat through the channel, roughly consistent with conductance measurements. The profile for formamidinium was very similar to that of methylammonium. Guanidinium had a high entry barrier (deltaF = +8.6 kcal/mol) and a narrow deep central well (deltaF = -2.6 kcal/mol), qualitatively consistent with predictions from voltage-dependent potassium current block measurements. Its deep central well, contrasting with the flat profile for formamidinium, was verified with perturbation dynamics and was correlated with its high propensity to form hydrogen bonds with the channel at the dimer junction (not shared by the other three cations). Analysis of the ensemble average radial forces on the ions demonstrates that all four ions undergo compressive forces in the channel that are at maximum at the center of the monomer and relieved at the dimer junction, illustrating increased flexibility of the channel walls in the center of the channel.

Dan Kois of Slate reports on newly released book titles and the world of publishing in NY1's newest living segment, "The Book Reader."
Three new books light up vivid facets of New York City life, from the dive bars of the '90s to the queer underground of the '80s to the make-believe city we all know from TV.
Rosie Schaap is the drinks columnist for the New York Times Magazine, and her new memoir, "Drinking with Men" just published by Riverhead Books, tells the stories of the barstools she's occupied all her adult life, from the bar car on the Metro-North to Puffy's Tavern in Tribeca. Schaap is great on the way that bars encourage camaraderie without all that confessional nonsense you have to deal with in church. Though these days Schaap tends bar in Brooklyn, "Drinking with Men" makes me think she'd pour a good Manhattan.
In 1996, the artist David Wojnarowicz wrote a vivid comic book - part memoir of his youth as a street hustler, part political diatribe about AIDS. Wojnarowicz died in 2000, but his comic, "7 Miles A Second", has just been republished by Fantagraphics. The art is by James Romberger and Marguerite Van Cook, and this graphic novel is an amazing document of the gaudy, dangerous world of clients and johns and artists and thugs downtown in the 1980s.
Every New Yorker I know has a soft spot for the city as it was portrayed in "Law and Order" for 20 seasons. Well, good news for those of us who miss that beloved series: Dick Wolf, Law and Order's creator, has written a thriller, "The Intercept" and New York in the novel feels very familiar: the wisecracking cops, those witnesses too busy even to stop stocking shelves while discussing a murder. It's the highest praise to say this book, out now from Morrow, reads like a really good TV show.
Look for reviews of all three of these books and more on the Slate Book Review at www.slate.com/books.

If you've been diagnosed with a thoracic aortic aneurysm, your doctor will likely advise you to avoid heavy lifting and vigorous physical activity as these can increase blood pressure, putting additional pressure on your aneurysm. If you want to participate in a particular activity, ask your doctor if it would be possible to perform an exercise stress test to see how much exercise raises your blood pressure.
Stress can also raise your blood pressure, so try to avoid conflict and stressful situations as much as possible. If you're going through a particularly emotional time in your life, let your doctor know because your medications may need to be adjusted to keep your blood pressure levels from going too high.
There are no medications you can take to prevent an aortic aneurysm, although taking medications to control your blood pressure and cholesterol level may reduce your risk of having complications from a thoracic aortic aneurysm.
For now the best approach to prevent an aortic aneurysm or keep an aneurysm from worsening is to keep your blood vessels as healthy as possible. That means taking these steps:
If you have some risk factors for aortic aneurysm, talk to your doctor. If you are at risk, your doctor may recommend additional measures, including medications to lower your blood pressure and relieve stress on weakened arteries. You may also want to consider screening echocardiograms every few years.

Five Truths: Brecht
03:05 – [sings, with musical backing] He is dead and gone lady,
Dead and gone;
At his head a grass-green turf,
At his heels a stone.
He is dead and gone.
Lady dead,
And gone.
[speaks] I pray you mark. And then she sang again. And then she sang again.
[sings, with musical backing] They bore him barefaced on the bier;
Hey non, nonny, nonny, hey nonny hey nonny;
And in his grave rained many a tear.
Fare you well my dove.
Fare you well my dove.
04:21 - [speaks] And then she said,
There's rosemary, that's for remembrance;
Pray you love, remember.
There is some pansies. That's for thoughts.
There's a daisy.
I would give you some violets, but they withered all when my father died.
They say he made a good end.
She said.
And will he not come again. And will he not come again. No, no. He is dead. Go to thy death bed. He never will come again. And then she left.
06:14 – There is a willow grows aslant a brook,
That shows his hoar leaves in the glassy stream;
There with fantastic garlands did she come,
Of credit notes and bills and cards from bankers,
That liberal thinkers give a grosser name,
But our cold maids do dead men's fingers call them:
There, on the pendent boughs her coronet weeds,
Clambering to hang, an envious sliver broke;
And down her paper trophies and herself,
Fell in the weeping brook. Her clothes spread wide;
And, mermaid-like, awhile they bore her up:
Which time she chanted snatches of old tunes;
As if to advertise her own distress.
[sings] He is dead and gone lady,
Dead and gone;
At his head a grass-green turf,
At his heels a stone
07:23 - [speaks] The image of a creature naive and worthy of financial aid…
But long it did not take,
Till that her papers and…
But long it did not take,
Till that her papers, heavy with their drink,
Pulled the poor wretch from her melodious lay…
To muddy death.
