Triplet state sublevel kinetics of tryptophan 54 in the complex of Escherichia coli single-stranded DNA binding protein with single-stranded poly(deoxythymidylic) acid Biophysical Journal, Volume 52, Issue 5, 1 November 1987, Pages 867-872 L.H. Zang, A.H. Maki, J.B. Murphy and J.W. Chase Abstract The individual sublevel kinetics of the lowest triplet state of tryptophan 54 (Trp 54) which is highly perturbed in the complex of Escherichia coli single-stranded DNA binding protein (Eco SSB) with poly(deoxythymidylic) acid (poly[dT]) have been studied by optically detected magnetic resonance (ODMR) spectroscopy. The triplet sublevel decay constants of Trp 54, kx, ky, kz, are 0.99, 0.072, and 0.045 s-1, respectively, in the poly(dT) complex of a point-mutated Eco SSB in which Trp 88 is substituted by phenylalanine. Tx is the only radiative triplet sublevel. Negative polarity of the Tx----Tz and Tx----Ty phosphorescence-detected ODMR signals results from the steady state population pattern, nx greater than ny, nz, and implies that the relations, px greater than or equal to 14py, and px greater than or equal to 22pz exist for the relative populating rates. Spin-orbit coupling between radiative singlet states and the Tx sublevel of the lowest triplet state of Trp 54 is enhanced selectively upon complexing of Eco SSB with poly(dT).

A Residue at the Cytoplasmic Entrance of BK-Type Channels Regulating Single-Channel Opening by its Hydrophobicity Biophysical Journal, Volume 94, Issue 9, 1 May 2008, Pages 3714-3725 Zhaohua Guo, Caixia Lv, Hong Yi, Yu Xiong, Yingliang Wu, Wenxin Li, Tao Xu and Jiuping Ding Abstract Single large-conductance calcium-activated K+ (BK) channels encoded by the mSlo gene usually have synchronous gating, but a Drosophila dSlo (A2/C2/E2/G5/10) splice variant (dSlo1A) exhibits very flickery openings. To probe this difference in gating, we constructed a mutant I323T. This channel exhibits four subconductance levels similar to those of dSlo1A. Rectification of the single-channel current-voltage relation of I323T decreased as [Ca2+]in increased from 10 to 300μM. Mutagenesis suggests that the hydrophobicity of the residue at the position is important for the wild-type gating; i.e., increasing hydrophobicity prolongs open duration. Molecular dynamics simulation suggests that four hydrophobic pore-lining residues at position 323 of mSlo act cooperatively in a "shutter-like" mechanism gating the permeation of K+ ions. Rate-equilibrium free energy relations analysis shows that the four I323 residues in an mSlo channel have a conformation 65% similar to the closed conformation during gating. Based on these observations, we suggest that the appearance of rectification and substates of BK-type channels arise from a reduction of the cooperativity among these four residues and a lower probability of being open.

Complexes of point-mutated E. coli single-stranded DNA-binding protein (Eco SSB) with homopolynucleotides have been investigated by optical detection of magnetic resonance (ODMR) of the triplet state of tryptophan (Trp) residues. Investigation of the individual sublevel kinetics of the lowest triplet state of Trp residues 40 and 54 in the poly (dT) complex of Eco SSB-W88F,W135F (a mutant protein whose Trp residues at positions 88 and 135 have been substituted by Phe) shows that Trp 54 is the most affected residue upon stacking with thymine bases, confirming previous results based on SSB mutants having single Trp----Phe substitutions. (Zang, L. H., A. H. Maki, J. B. Murphy, and J. W. Chase. 1987. Biophys. J. 52:867–872). The Tx sublevel of Trp 54 shows a fourfold increase in the decay rate constant, as well as an increase in its populating rate constant by selective spin-orbit coupling. The two nonradiative sublevels show no change in lifetime, relative to unstacked Trp. For Trp 40, a weaker perturbation of Tx by thymine results in a sublevel lifetime about one-half that of normal Trp. Trp54 displays a 2[E]transition of negative polarity in the double mutant SSB complex with Poly (dT), but gives a vanishingly weak [D] - [E] signal, thus implying that the steady-state sublevel populations of Tx and Tz are nearly equal in this residue. Poly (5-BrU) induces the largest red-shift of the Eco SSB-W88F,W135F Trp phosphorescence 0,0-band of all polynucleotides investigated. Its phosphorescence decay fits well to two exponential components of 1.02 and 0.12 s, with no contribution from long-lived Trp residues. This behavior provides convincing evidence that both Trp 40 and 54 are perturbed by stacking with brominated uridine. The observed decrease in the Trp [D] values further confirms the stacking of the Trp residues with 5-BrU. Wave-length-selected ODMR experiments conducted on the [D[ + [E] transition of Eco SSB-W88F,W135F complexed with poly(5HgU) indicate the presence of multiple heavy atom-perturbed sites. Measurements made on poly (5-HgU) which each of its 4 Trp residues has been replaced in turn by Phe demonstrate that Trp 40 and 54 are the only Trp residues undergoing stacking with nucleotide bases, as previously proposed.

Albany Herald
ALBANY, Ga. -- A father, enraged about missing "some loose change," choked his wife, reached for a gun but had his vengeance cut short when his daughter stabbed him during a fight, according to a Dougherty County Police Department report.
Samuel Williams, 36, was charged with family violence and battery, the report stated. The report also said that Williams was drinking before the incident at the family's 3205 Sylvester Ave. residence at about 11:45 p.m. Thursday.
"The fight started about his son (reportedly) stealing some money," county police Sgt. Chad Kirkpatrick said. "(Williams) grabbed his wife, pinned her to the floor, choked her and then grabbed his daughter."
In the struggle, Williams tried to break the glass on a gun cabinet and get a firearm, Kirkpatrick said. When Williams reached for the gun, his daughter broke free, ran to the kitchen, got a knife and stabbed her father in the lower back, a report on the incident said.
After she stabbed him, the daughter ran to a neighbor's house and called 911, the report stated. Williams was taken to Phoebe Putney Memorial Hospital and was released by Friday, a hospital spokeswoman confirmed.

News and Events Details
By Elizabeth Reichert
University Relations student writer
Each spring for more than four decades, high school students from northwestern Wisconsin and northeastern Minnesota have gathered at the University of Wisconsin-Superior to match wits by solving equations and finding probabilities. On April 25th more than 100 high school students will renew that tradition once again when they gather for the annual Math Meet hosted by the Mathematics and Computer Science Department.
"It's a fun event - a good combination of a social event and fun with math in a format that is not as dry as the lecture hall. The competition appeals to many," said Dr. Uwe Leck, associate professor of the mathematics at UW-Superior.
Enjoying the challenge
Sharon Peterson, mathematics teacher at Rice Lake High School, agreed. "Students really enjoy using their math and challenging themselves," she said.
Peterson said her favorite part of Math Meet is "the ability to take your kids out of the high school and to be with the other kids who are interested in math."'
Changing with the times
Peterson appreciates how Math Meet organizers have adjusted the events, problems and difficulty level to reflect current updates in high school curriculum, such as the addition of calculus.
"They're problems they can solve," she said. "They're a challenge but they can see some success."
An array of questions
In Math Meet, teams of eight students from each high school compete as a group and as individuals to solve an array of problems in geometry, calculus, algebra and analytic geometry, trigonometry and elementary functions, and probability and statistics. Events are timed, and problems call for multiple choice or short answer responses. All problems are written by UW-Superior faculty members.
Winners of individual events receive a $100 savings bond, and top finishers receive a Math Meet T-shirt. Winning teams receive a trophy while top finishers receive a plaque.
Less tangible but just as important, the students get a chance to shine in a subject that isn't always considered glamorous by their classmates. And they get a taste of university life and advanced mathematics.
Math Meet 'invaluable'
Dr. Peter Nordgren, Interim Associate Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs and Outreach at UW-Superior, participated in Math Meet as a high school student in 1969.
"It was invaluable to see kind of what a college level of math was," he said. "It was an eye-opening experience."
Nordgren's high school math teacher encouraged him to attend Math Meet and to meet Dr. Carroll Rusch, who was then chair of the university's mathematics program.
Nordgren found Math Meet to be influential in his career decision.
Helped shape a career
"It was part of the whole direction. The guidance I had with my high school teacher kind of sent me in this direction," he said. "It was something good for me, something that guided me to get a degree in science, which helped shape my career."
Nordgren ended up enrolling at UW-Superior and earned his bachelor's degree in biology with a minor in mathematics.
"I think the challenge is always for students to see what math is all about," he said. "Math is everywhere in our lives and has relevance to any kind of career we might have."

Here are some examples of RNIB's direct involvement in local authority service reorganisations in recent months. Some of these have reached a successful conclusion while others are still ongoing.
A local parent made contact with Action for Blind People as her child was at risk of being affected by proposed changes to services for blind and partially sighted children across Teesside. There were worries that specialist teaching posts may be lost and levels of support for children's learning cut back. In the context of ongoing financial pressures, services for children with sight loss were reviewed last year. RNIB and local parents fed their views into the process, and the councils involved of Hartlepool, Middlesbrough, Stockton on Tees and Redcar and Cleveland have now confirmed they will be retaining the much valued services which they currently provide. Middlesbrough is currently the council to provide the services on behalf of the other councils, but in future they will commission the Head Teacher of Sunnyside School in Middlesbrough to manage elements of the service. Sunnyside has a base for children with visual impairments and it is expected that there will be greater coordination of provision as a result. The existing number of teachers supporting children in schools across the area will be retained.
RNIB was alerted in January to plans to reorganise the sensory support service in Kirklees, as a result of which VI staff would be located and managed by resourced schools and not as part of a central local authority service. Although this proposal had some merits it also carried the risk that staff could lose the flexibility to move across schools and support children in different areas. There was also a concern that they might be deployed into other roles within the host school. The professional leadership of the VI team under the proposed new structure was also unclear. The RNIB children's team worked with the regional campaigns officer to submit a response to the proposals, drawing both on our knowledge of support service structures in other areas and the views of local parents. In March we heard that the council had revised its proposals so that VI team staff would keep their central contracts and not be employed by a school. The VI team leader wrote to say: "We are delighted with this news. At the meeting to explain these changes it was acknowledged that the RNIB had provided a very powerful document. We value your contributions and support."
RNIB has been involved since January in a consultation around a proposed reorganisation of the sensory support service in Salford. NDCS (National Deaf Children's Society) has been very active in lobbying the council to set up a commission to explore the proposed changes and RNIB gave evidence at an open meeting of the commission in May. The key message of our submission was that councils have to identify their population of children with visual impairment accurately and assess their needs appropriately before deciding the size and shape of the specialist service that is required to meet these needs. RNIB expects to be consulted on any revised proposals arising from the consultation process.
Telford and Wrekin LA announced plans to reorganise the sensory service provided jointly for their own authority and Shropshire in early 2012. This proposed a reduction in the number of specialist teachers of VI and HI children. One outcome of the restructure is that the VI team leader post was made redundant and the team has lost its only early years specialist. RNIB has written to express grave concern at these developments and we are due to hold a meeting with the chief executive of Children's Services later in June.

Last updated: 14 June 2012
Right now we can only reach one in three of the people who need our help most. Please make a donation and help us support more blind and partially sighted people.
RNIB provide supporting evidence and information to guide parents and professionals who wish to respond to proposed reductions or reorganisations of provision for blind and partially sighted children.

Its not really meant to be used as a normal keyboard. Its supposed to be a glorified remote control for HTPCs. At least I am using it for that. I wish I had read the fine print about it being for Google TV but it does what I need it to do with WMC. Volume buttons work, It has a track pad, I can control everything well enough to do what I need to in a very small keyboard package that doesn't get in the way when I dont want a full size keyboard. I already have a K270 if I want to play games etc. and didn't expect or want this to be a normal Windows keyboard. The only complaint I have again could have been alleviated with me reading the fine print, such as the record button not working but that is OK since I can use the track pad to record. And pressing the Fn key for right click is OK... I don't see that at something I can't quickly adjust to since I only use this in WMC to watch TV. Last edited by CHeston; 11-21-2012 at 12:01 AM.. |
Does this absolutely require a Logitech "companion box" to work with? I've seen people mention they're using it with their PCs even though its not an ideal layout for a Windows keyboard.
I'm having no luck with this on my PC or my Android box - no response at all. I really want to use it with the Android box [mele.cn], but not getting anywhere. EDIT: nm, had to download the unifying software from logitech as the receiver didn't seem to be connected to the keyboard. Works fine now. Last edited by epicd2012; 11-23-2012 at 01:10 PM..

Another Facebook redesign: Birthdays are important
Guess what? Facebook is tweaking its home page design yet again--something that invariably seems to tick off members at first before they realize they actually don't mind that much. The company seems to have been previewing the new look to advertisers, one of whom forwarded the details along to industry blog Mashable.
It doesn't look too different. The biggest change is that Facebook's home page news feed will now be divided up into "top news" and a more real-time "recent activity" view.

The festival showcases the efforts of young independent filmmakers only recently emerged from cocoons of Ingmar Bergman's mustache hair, supplying seasoned attendees with fresh, provocative works. Award categories this year include Best Vision of The Future, Best Music Video, and Best Green Earth Film, an honor reserved for talking pictures that emphasize environmental stewardship. Among the scheduled films include Bob Marley: Making of a Legend, and though this year's full slate of films has yet to be announced, one day of last year's festival featured more than 30 short films, a post-festival dance, and the revelation that tomatoes are actually fruit.
iFLY simulates skydiving without plummeting toward the earth at 9.8 meters per second by floating patrons in a vertical wind tunnel. Unlike an amusement-park ride, simulator, or a jump off a one-story house, the vertical wind tunnel re-creates the experience of actual flying, with professional instructors controlling the airflow the entire time and communicating with fliers via hand signals. iFLY's cache of earplugs, flight suits, helmets, and goggles keep divers protected during flight. iFLY plans flights for groups of all sizes and occasions including birthdays, corporate events, and summer camps.
The extensive facilities of MVP Arena, which include indoor and outdoor fields, a basketball court, and batting cages, host visitors for an array of sports leagues and classes. Adults hone their skills in training classes and then unveil new maneuvers on one another during league games for basketball, flag football, and soccer. Bat wielders practice swing timing and charging the mound without fear of retaliation in the batting cages, where regulation pitching distance and a mural of the San Francisco Bay recreate the excitement of practicing in a big-league stadium. In addition, three of the cages feature virtual pitchers that help batters time ball delivery at different speeds or a random assortment of slow, medium, and fast.
A charter member of the MLS, the San Jose Earthquakes played their first four seasons as the Clash before claiming the MLS Cup in 2001 and 2003. Though the team moved to Houston in '05, the franchise was reinstated in '08, bringing professional soccer back to the Bay Area. Buck Shaw Stadium serves as the team's current home, though a new stadium will shoot skyward in 2014, complete with luxury suites for fans and exhausted referees alike.

Bureau of Land
Colorado State Director
Many Coloradoans know how important energy development is for our state. From job creation to school funding — we see it daily.
What many don't understand is the process the Bureau of Land Management undergoes to ensure environmental protections for important natural resources are met while also allowing leasing and development for oil and natural gas to occur.
The BLM initiated a new process for nominated leases to be evaluated through the National Environmental Policy Act via an environmental assessment. The BLM uses NEPA to predict potential impacts from actions taken on public lands.
The BLM has always reviewed each parcel very carefully and this action does not change that review — it simply adds the opportunity for public involvement.
The public now has three opportunities to provide input on oil and gas leases. The first opportunity asks for public input before the BLM prepares the National Environmental Policy Act documentation. The second follows when the NEPA documentation is posted for public review. Finally, the third public input period follows the completion and official signature of the NEPA documents.
Just because an area is nominated does not mean it will be offered for sale or it is a free pass for development.
Once a lease is obtained, there are several steps that need to happen before development can occur. A lease holder must submit an application for a permit to drill. That application initiates another environmental review that is open to the public to evaluate the proposed drilling plan. A lease holder is given 10 years to develop their lease.
More information about our leasing process and upcoming lease sales can be found online at www.blm.gov/co.
Last year, the Bureau of Land Management boosted Colorado's economy by $6.1 billion due to energy development. About $4.8 billion of that is from oil and gas development through royalties, rental payments on leases, jobs, industry-tied business, etc.
Given the beauty and recreational opportunities on public land, we are faced with hard decisions managing energy development. Our job is to ensure we maintain these beautiful areas for generations to come while allowing development to meet our nation's energy needs.
I think we can accomplish both.

One of the world's leading live-entertainment companies, Live Nation connects millions of fans to thousands of performances across the globe. Today's deal can be used for any Live Nation concert at the open-air Cruzan Amphitheatre, providing fans with aural stimulation of all stripes, filling ears more pleasantly than the aggressively atonal orchestras that roam the countryside. Upcoming concerts at the venue include such diverse performers as Rascal Flatts, Lil' Wayne, and Maroon 5, giving listeners a cornucopia of euphonic options.
As America's first zoo and current home to more than 1,300 creatures, the Philadelphia Zoo hosts a cavalcade of winged avians, furry friends, aquatic characters, and slithering showboats on 42 sprawling acres. Gauge the ferocity of your roar at the Big Cat Falls, or visit the snow-strewn habitats of polar bears, snow leopards, penguins, and the Cheetos-dusted Amur tigers. Exercise your bipedality over to the primate reserve and speak firsthand with the trainers and conservationists working to save and protect endangered primates worldwide from the violence of video games and reckless taxis. The Philadelphia Zoo also features rides and attractions (at additional costs), allowing revelers to twirl about the Amazon rainforest carousel, paddle the swan boats, or take a ride in the iconic Zooballoon, where, from the comfort of the skies, the bearded pig's questionable facial hair is only turning children's tears into raindrops.
The Philadelphia Museum of Art houses more than 225,000 objects spanning a jaw-whopping 5,000 years of human history. An extensive permanent collection of both Eastern and Western art includes highlights such as Temple Hall, a full-size, immaculately carved sixteenth-century Hindu temple. Grapple with the challenges of modernity amid the display of twentieth-century New York Dada art, featuring several pieces constructed entirely out of apple-satellite-violet-blargh. Chandelier and chandelier-swinging enthusiasts will enjoy Hanging Around: Modern and Contemporary Lighting from the Permanent Collection, which explores how electricity turned function into fashion (the exhibit ends October 10).
Beneath a towering marble dome sits the 20-foot-high marble statue of Benjamin Franklin. All is quiet—until the multimedia presentation springs to life. Not content with a silent symbol, The Franklin Institute brings its namesake's story to life with his National Memorial, complete with audio effects and dramatic lighting. Spanning three floors, the Institute gives a voice to human ingenuity—past and future—with hundreds of interactive exhibits, live science shows, a 3D flight simulator, and 4.5-story IMAX theater. Though now filled with a range of space-age attractions, the Institute began with single purpose.
Samuel Vaughan Merrick and William H. Keating established The Franklin Institute in 1824, to honor the life and achievements of Benjamin Franklin. In the following decades, the Institute hosted forward thinkers such as Nikola Tesla, who gave a demonstration on wireless telegraphy in 1893. In 1930, the board decided to expand the space into a new science museum—and raised the funds in 12 days. The museum opened to the public in 1934—and in the same year hosted the first public demonstration of an all-electronic TV system.
The Franklin Institute's permanent exhibits now include Space Command, which invites visitors to recover an unmanned space probe and examine real astronaut equipment. At Changing Earth, visitors create their own weather patterns, play with steams of water, and build structures that can stand up to earthquakes or all-elephant 5Ks.
At various daily showtimes, the Franklin Theater's high-contrast screen displays 3D films on animals, earth ecosystems, and human history. In the recently renovated Fels Planetarium audiences witness projections of weather and space spread across a 60-foot seamless aluminum dome.
Philadelphia calls Madame Saito the Queen of Sushi, and it's easy to see why. Armed with formal culinary training from Le Cordon Bleu and the Ritz Escoffier in Paris and experience from apprenticeships under premier Tokyo sushi chefs, she has committed the last 26 years to spreading her love for Japanese culture and contemporary fusion cuisine. Although she leaves time in her schedule to manage Tokio Sushi Bar—her sushi restaurant with French culinary influences—, The HeadHouse Cafe, and to conduct an annual sushi-making competition, Madame Saito counts education as one of her highest priorities. She regularly commits her quadrilingual tongue to demystifying the art of sushi during classes for aspiring chefs and casual students alike, teaching them how to hand roll maki and slice fish into perfectly uniform dodecahedrons.

It is very vital for any company to apply an effective data protection strategy, so as to secure sensitive data pertaining to that company.
Before adopting this technology, companies should know that they will be surrendering all the company's sensitive information to a third-party cloud service provider. This could potentially put the company to great risk. Hence, they need to make absolutely sure that they choose the most reliable service provider, who will keep the information totally secure.
Well security and encryption is great concerns which make companies think twice before they moving to cloud. Specially having confidential data on cloud which is not secure is not a good idea for large companies.
@DrT – it's a great option for companies to move only the required data to the cloud. I see it as an efficient way of managing their data. This will even assist them to manage cost on storage.
This is good illustrations of Hybrid cloud. Hybrid cloud works best for the services that needs to be consumed by the public. If you have a specific application and your employees are only the users you may prefer to keep it in your private could to get best performance.
I just completed an article where cloud services are not vulnerable.
The actual problem is what makes cloud services so appealing the use of virtual servers. Virtual machines (VM) on the same physical server are vulnerable to a malicious VM also on that physical server. The research team was able to steal email encryption codes that were stored on a different VM.
This is not a something easily fixed either.
Cost of migration and implementation is a key factor which holds a company from using cloud services. Using a hybrid cloud an organization can provide and manage some resources in-house and others provided externally, which will in turn reduce cost of storage etc.
I agree, "cloud" doesn't necessary mean IT outsourcing.
A large enough company can have distributed global datacenters but turn it into a "cloud" by adopting the right server software.
Private cloud is a natural solution to many organizations as they are kept under the pressure of laws and regulations regarding data security and privacy. The more cloud implementation may eventually ease the regulations and that will speed up public cloud implementations. However at this point while organizations want to keep data in house they also want to get benefit of public cloud's elasticity, agility availability and chargeback which eventually reduce cost of delivering a solution. That leads everyone to hybrid solutions.

I find it interesting myself that there have been matriarchal societies. I do believe from what I have learned about the Cherokee women, they played a role in bartering their goods. If I remember correctly the Celts had female warriors. Women have always played an important role in society; it's often that many dogmas tell men their women have a place. That is so wrong on many levels. My uniqueness is thus: I can do anything a man does if I want to if I have the fortitude. I agree,that era is extremely interesting. |

Judged: 1 1 1 I am so, so sorry that you are not well. I know exactly what you're feeling. I've been there before, and will likely revisit again. The only thing I can tell you is that you have to have faith that the Lord will answer your prayers. Your fear is understandable. Don't hesitate to call the doctor and arrange for appropriate tests. Sometimes stents malfunction and do not keep the artery open. You need to find out if that is the case. If something is wrong, the surgeon will likely be able to correct it. Don't wait until you are too ill and become a surgical high-risk patient. I will certainly keep you in my prayers. |

► GSK3α phosphorylates AKT and suppresses its substrate binding ► IKKi is important in Th17 cell proliferation through GSK3-AKT-mTOR pathway ► GSK3α, not GSK3β, is important in IL-1 signaling
Interleukin-1 (IL-1)-induced activation of the mTOR kinase pathway has major influences on Th17 cell survival, proliferation, and effector function. Via biochemical and genetic approaches, the kinases IKKi and GSK3α were identified as the critical intermediate signaling components for IL-1-induced AKT activation, which in turn activated mTOR. Although insulin-induced AKT activation is known to phosphorylate and inactivate GSK3α and GSK3β, we found that GSK3α but not GSK3β formed a constitutive complex to phosphorylate and suppress AKT activation, showing that a reverse action from GSK to AKT can take place. Upon IL-1 stimulation, IKKi was activated to mediate GSK3α phosphorylation at S21, thereby inactivating GSK3α to promote IL-1-induced AKT-mTOR activation. Thus, IKKi has a critical role in Th17 cell maintenance and/or proliferation through the GSK-AKT-mTOR pathway, implicating the potential of IKKi as a therapeutic target.

Ready ŌĆ" set ŌĆ" light. The Festival of Lights will light up Comanche Trail Park starting Thursday. The annual trail of lights will be illuminated in the park each night from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. until Dec. 31. Last year, more than 20,000 people came from 38 states and 14 countries to view the lights. ŌĆ£I am hoping to have 25,000 people come through this year,ŌĆØ said Pat Simmons, Festival of Lights founder.
rea residents looking to celebrate the Christmas and New Year holidays this year will have to do so without the help of "rockets' red glare," as Howard County commissioners approved a ban on rockets and other finned fireworks Monday.
Commissioners voted unanimously — with Precinct 2 Commissioner Donnie Baker making the motion, which received a second from Precinct 4 Commissioner John Cline — in favor of the ban in hopes of staving off what County Judge Mark Barr said has become an unfortunate tradition in the county.
The Texas Legislature may not be in session, but that doesn't mean state representatives don't have work to do.
Kel Seliger, Big Spring's representative in the Texas Senate, was in town Tuesday to discuss a variety of issues — including education finance and water — with the local Young Republicans organization.
Sen. Seliger (R-Amarillo), said how the state finances schools in the future will be perhaps the most critical issue facing the legislature when it reconvenes in 2013.
The Big Spring Police Department reported the following activity between 7 a.m. Monday and 7 a.m. today: ŌĆó ARTURO VASQUEZ, 42, of 907 N. Main St., was arrested Monday on a charge of driving while license suspended or invalid with a previous conviction. ŌĆó CHRISTOPHER FITZGERAL CARVER, 47, of Abilene, was arrested Monday on a warrant from another agency. ŌĆó LARRY JOHNATHAN LEE, 45, of 7400 S. Service Rd., was arrested Monday on warrants for failure to appear (two counts), driving while license invalid and failure to yield the right-of-way at stop intersection.
The Big Spring City Council is expected to approve final reading of a resolution streamlining the way the Big Spring Economic Development Corporation will deliver its quarterly reports to the governing body during its meeting Tuesday evening.
Under the existing requirements, the Big Spring EDC Board of Directors are required to meet with the city council during their quarterly meetings, according to EDC Director Terry Wegman.
Fifteen years and going strong.
The Festival of Lights at Comanche Trail Park will be turned on again starting Thursday and stay lit until Dec. 31.
"This all started as I was riding on a float in the parade one year and a lady asked me why they don't light up the park," Festival of Lights founder Pat Simmons said. "I don't know who they are, but I told her I would look into it."
The Big Spring Police Department reported the following activity between 9 a.m. Saturday and 7 a.m. today: ŌĆó RICHARD GLENN SPINKS, 38, of Odessa, was arrested Sunday on a charge of public intoxication. ŌĆó LEROY ELMER DOLLEY, 42, of 7000 I-20 S. Service Rd., was arrested Monday on a charge of driving while license invalid. ŌĆó STEVEN LOYD BATEMAN, 32, of 800 S. Nolan St., was arrested Sunday on a charge of public intoxication. ŌĆó KYLE LARAND COMBS, 40, of Waskom, was arrested Sunday on a charge of driving while intoxicated ŌĆō third or more offense.
A Big Spring man and woman were indicted on charges of injury to a child and abandoning/endangering a child by a Howard County grand jury this week, charges stemming from the alleged Oct. 28 beating of a one-year-old female. Johnny Michael Edmondson II, 21, of 300 S. Tulane (currently being held at the county jail in lieu of $25,000 bond), was indicted on charges of injury to a child (first-degree felony) and injury to a child (two counts, both third-degree felonies).
FORSAN ŌĆö This Early College High School idea seems to be catching on. Four days after Big Spring Independent School District trustees discussed the possibility of establishing an Early College High School program, their counterparts in Forsan will do the same when they hold their monthly meeting at 7 p.m. Monday in the administration wing board room.
Dreams do come true, just ask local resident Mary Witkowski. Witkowski entered the Spring of Siloam Christian WomenŌĆÖs Job Corps this fall and has received training in various areas. According to Tina Buchanan, director of Spring of Siloam, Witkowski will be entering classes at Howard College this upcoming semester. ŌĆ£This is a big project that will end up putting into the community,ŌĆØ Buchanan said.

I recieved my free wireless charger 2 days ago. Immediately i opened up the box and start using it.
i saw that my phone is charging. So everything was good, then i left it there for 2 hours.
After that, i noticed that my phone was off. Then i tried to power it up. But it can't. My phone is bricked!!!!
Anyone see the similar issue? Any advice?
Thanks. - 11-30-2012, 01:15 PM #3
If that doesn't work, hold down the power+volume down buttons for ten seconds. That will be the equivalent of a battery reset.
What apps do you have on your phone?
I think that Windows Phone 8 does have some stability issues depending on what apps are installed on the phone. An update (Apollo+) is coming next month I think. - 11-30-2012, 01:16 PM #5
Hold power + volume down. Your phone should reboot.
Flickr: http://flic.kr/ps/TTA5y - 12-01-2012, 01:01 AM #6
Thanks guys! u guys are awesome.
I try the volume down + power button. Now it finally can power up.
But right now, it seems a bit weird. I plug in using wall charger (non wireless), the charging icon keep on flashing... I don't recall I see that before. if it is charging, the icon should be just static.
Now the icon keep on flashing... man......
Anyway, thanks for all the helps I got... this forum is awesome! :) - 12-01-2012, 07:47 AM #8
I just had the EXACT same thing happen last night. Let phone sit on my new wireless charger and it shut off and would not respond at all.. Held volume down+power for about 15 seconds and it came back... Scary stuff.
Also noted when wireless charging it was getting very hot. Something doesn't seem right. - 12-01-2012, 08:08 AM #11
I wish people would know those simple button combinations before shouting the bricked mantra here. Button combinations have been the norm since first iPhone and 1g ipod touch across all devices.
As far as the issue goes it could also be related to the random reboots that Windows Phone 8 has had. - 12-02-2012, 12:44 AM #12
Every time I have left my 920 on the wireless charging plate for any length of time, it has frozen on the black screen and can only be woken with a soft reset (hold volume down + power button). This is definitely a wireless charging problem because I charged it the old fashioned way last night (with a wire) and it was fine this morning.
Any chance this will be fixed in a software update, or does this sound like a hardware problem? - 12-02-2012, 12:49 AM #13
I don't think this is related to wireless charging specifically. People have had this issue happen without being on a charge cycle. Just today I checked my ema9l, set the phone down (not on a charger), and when I picked it up again about ten minutes later it was unresponsive. Had to do the power and volume down trick. Thinking this is an issue with WP8.
I left my phone on the wireless charger for four hours today (charging from about 75 percent). When I woke up from my nap, everything seemed fine. Both charger and phone were cool to the touch. The phone does get a little warm when charging, but I haven't done a full, all out charge (from twenty to thirty percent to full charge) as of yet.
Hearing the horror stories about wireless charging does give me feelings of trepidation, so I'll just continue to tread lightly. - 12-02-2012, 05:57 AM #16
Hmmm...haven't received my wireless charger yet and now I'm wondering if I should use it when it arrives. I keep a wired charger at home and at work so I'm wondering if I need this headache. I've had my 920 for a few weeks now and have yet to have any rebooting or screen freeze issues.
I use the charging stand and simply put my phone on it every night when I go to bed and pick it up after I get up. Hasn't frozen yet. I think it's related to the freeze issues and hear there is a fix coming. As for removing from the charger when it's charged, well, I'm just not going to do that. My stand stops charging when it full (the light goes out). And I have used it during the day when I first got it, never even got warm. The heating would worry me. I hope you guys don't have defective units because not all of them heat up.
I just got my wireless charger yesterday, left it charging overnight, and woke up to a "bricked" phone. Vol down+power worked...should I switch units?? If only some units are doing this, maybe this is defective? Or is there a software fix coming?
So every time I charge mine via wall charger, the OS gets super sluggish. I'm worried now that as soon as I do get a wireless charger, I'll have to deal with this :/
Just an update on my situation. Not had any freezes since the first time I charged it with a wire. Now when it sits on the wireless charger and reaches maximum, the charger turns off. I got the wireless charger with the phone, so I had never charged it with a wire before going wireless. Don't know if this is related or not, but would explain why I have had problems and people who got their chargers after 2 weeks have been OK.
Update: 2 out of 2 nights on wireless charger, phone was dead in the morning and had to soft reset. Any advice? Should I exchange the phone??
I have had this same exact issue! My phone would say it was charging when on the wirless chargning plate and the battery level would actually decrease. I tried it on a couple of different charging pads and it did the same thing. So I called AT&T and they are shipping me another phone...
I can confirm the same issues here on my Nokia Lumia 920's and charging. Received the wireless charger and everytime we place the phone on there for at least an hour, it is blank when we check it and we have to do a soft reset with the buttons. That happens everytime...sort of makes wireless charging a useless venture?
Second, I can also confirm that when the device is plugged into power and charging, the phones are very slow and nearly useless to use while charging.
I love the Nokia 920's, but wish these little issues didn't exist. - 12-03-2012, 11:10 AM #25
I can't stress this enough, we need to be letting Nokia know about this, by whatever means you can. I had told them a couple weeks ago on twitter when it happened to me. But the more of us that help, the better they can help us.

Industrialization created cities of Dickensian squalor that were crowded, smoky, dirty, and disease-ridden. By the beginning of the twentieth century, urban visionaries were looking for ways to improve living and working conditions in industrial cities. In Invented Edens, Robert Kargon and Arthur Molella trace the arc of one form of urban design, which they term the techno-city: a planned city developed in conjunction with large industrial or technological enterprises, blending the technological and the pastoral, the mill town and the garden city.
This ambitious book describes the many ways in which invention affects the environment (here defined broadly to include all forms of interaction between humans and nature). The book starts with nature itself and then leads readers to examine the built environment and then specific technologies in areas such as public health and energy.

Yup, I'll second that.

Stupid question I know, but Apple is NOT patenting rotation, but rather two gestures to lock the screen in either portrait or landscape mode, regardless of detected orientation. Whether or not such a matter is patentable is another kettle of fish.
On a related matter, Apple long ago bought a patent from British Telecom that appears actually to be for screen rotation.

Grace Bay Club Unveils Estates
Filed under: Estates, Luxury Travel & Hotels, Real Estate Developments
The gorgeous Grace Bay Club in the Turks and Caicos has unveiled plans for The Estate, a collection of 22 "custom-designed ultra-elegant residences" set to debut in November. The luxury resort is building the deluxe dwellings on its prime parcel of 11 oceanfront acres just steps from the beach. Each 4500-sq.-ft. unit will have four bedrooms, four bathrooms, a steam shower, a library/media room and wraparound terraces; floor plans are customizable. The Estate development also includes a multi-tiered oceanfront pool, luxury cabanas and a Personal Concierge program. Prices range from $2.8 million to $5 million-plus for a penthouse.
The luxe all-suite resort is also home to the "longest bar in the Caribbean", which stretches 90 feet across the Grace Bay Club beach with its cabanas and spa tents. Constructed of black marble, the infinity design "creates the illusion that the entire structure is floating above the Caribbean sand and extending indefinitely into the ocean." We're getting thirsty just thinking about it.
Check out the gallery below for more pix and renderings of the Estate project.

Interesting info on synthetic oil recommendation
dcm61 Posts: 1,430I don't see where pliers have any place in removing a Subaru oil filter. Use a cap that fits over the end of the filter and is driven by a long extension on a socket wrench.
When Subaru changes the filter diameter 3 times during the course of owning one vehicle, you kinda get tired of buying new filter caps. Even the adjustable "caps" are too big for the tiny blue filters. -
xwesx Fairbanks, AlaskaPosts: 8,211That is a "when all else fails" strategy. If you're removing it, it is used and will be disposed anyway, so why not?
If it is on very tight, the end caps will often deform the thin metal of the filter and slip. Thankfully, the circumference of the stock Subaru filter was a little bigger than the replacement filters, so I had to tap my socket on with a hammer first. Tight or no, that thing was coming off!
I only use the socket for my Forester because it is not possible for me to get my hand around it. On all my other vehicles, I remove and install them by hand. I have to use the socket to install the filter on the Forester, too! -
ateixeira Posts: 72,587I don't see where pliers have any place in removing a Subaru oil filter. Use a cap that fits over the end of the filter and is driven by a long extension on a socket wrench.
You missed the part where I mentioned I tried that. Did not work - could not get enough grip to twist, it would slip and strip the side of the filter (OE Subaru). The filter was overtightened, remember.
Funny thing is I actually tried TWO oil filter sockes. The first one was metal, from Advance Auto Parts, and the 2nd was a hard plastic one from NAPA. Both failed.
Hence the need for pliers, which clamped tight enough to twist it off.
I'm not really concerned about damage to the oil filter as it's done being used anyway. -
aatherton Posts: 617I use a metal cap nut that fits tightly over the end of the filter. It fits the many flats on the end of the filter so tightly that it cannot possibly slip. If a cap nut slips, it might not be the right size. I have two cap nuts for the three cars we presently have.
I have large pliers, and have used them over the decades on a couple of other cars, but the Subaru filter is so tightly confined by heat shields that I cannot get my hand on it, much less get pliers around it. -
ateixeira Posts: 72,587I hear you - I used the same exact thing!
Metal failed.
The NAPA plastic/composite one also failed.
There was just no way.
Like I said it was way overtightened.
The pliers stick out quite a bit, especially the large-sized ones. It reaches the filter easily. Took me an hour and a half struggling with the metal and plasic caps, and about 7 seconds with the pliers. -
morin2 Posts: 399A little late to this party - but I had the same problem with an overtightened oil filter and took it back to the dealer to be removed - at which time they managed to hit my new Outback and scuff the rear bumper when parking another one too close. Never again!
Anyway, the problem is that the caplike filter sockets that you buy at Advance or Napa, metal or plastic, are 67 mm and very slightly too large - so they slip just enough on an overtightened filter to round off the edges of the filter flats. Those aftermarket sockets would be fine if the filter was not on with excessive torque. The OEM subaru oil filter socket is 66.5 mm and a more precise fit - at least for the old style made in Japan black filters (which I bought out a dealer's supply of about 5 dozen when subaru changed to the blue Honeywells - which I will not use). -
aatherton Posts: 617"I use a metal cap nut that fits tightly over the end of the filter. It fits the many flats on the end of the filter so tightly that it cannot possibly slip. If a cap nut slips, it might not be the right size. I have two cap nuts for the three cars we presently have."
Now I find that my cap nut that fits the old black filters does not fit the new blue filters. The blue filters are slightly smaller in diameter, and I cannot find a cap nut small enough to fit them tightly. So I had to buy the gizmo with the clamping fingers.
