Add/View Comments (0)Evolving new types of enzymes
Michael Gross
- With their high selectivity and specificity especially in chiral reactions, natural enzymes are superior to all man-made catalysts. There are many reactions of interest, however, that just don't occur in their repertoire. With a range of innovative approaches, scientists are now able to create enzymes with entirely new activities. Michael Gross reports.
Main Text
Given the importance of catalysts both for life and for technology, attempts to adapt or mimic natural enzymes for technological purposes have been made for decades. With the knowledge of crystal structures that have been coming in at ever-faster rates since the 1960s, researchers have been able to tweak the geometry of active sites to alter an enzyme's substrate specificity.
A bigger challenge lies in the reactions that nature simply doesn't use, but chemists do, including the Diels-Alder ring formation with its highly elegant dance of six electrons. In the early 1990s, several laboratories developed antibodies against analogues of the transition state of the target reaction. This approach is based on the idea that stabilising the transition state by binding it to the antibody will lower its energy, thus bringing down the activation energy of the reaction.
A few catalytic antibodies, also known as abzymes, were successfully produced, including two catalysing the Diels-Alder reaction. However, the approach turned out to have serious limitations, which include the difficulty of expressing antibodies in bacteria, along with structural constraints posed by the standard immunoglobulin architecture and functional ones related to the focus on the recognition of the transition state.
Thus, abzymes ultimately failed to satisfy the ambitions of enzyme designers, and attention returned to the question of how one could create a proper enzyme that doesn't yet exist in nature.
Designing Diels-Alderase
Building on their experience in protein design algorithms (Curr. Biol. (2012) 22, R35–R38), David Baker and his group at the University of Washington at Seattle embarked on designing an enzyme for the Diels-Alder reaction from first principles (Science (2010) 329, 309–313). Using the widely studied quantum-mechanical mechanism of the reaction, they identified ideal positions for a hydrogen bond acceptor to bind the diene (an alkene with two double bonds separated by a single bond) and for a hydrogen bond donor to interact with the dienophile (the alkene that reacts with the diene). Calculations predicted that these two interactions should narrow the energy gap between the molecular orbitals relevant for the reaction, thereby lowering the activation energy.
With the resulting constraints for the active site structure, Baker and colleagues set their protein design algorithm Rosetta to produce proteins sequences containing such a site. They chose 84 of the designs for experimental tests involving synthesis of the relevant genes and expression in E. coli. Of these, 50 proteins could be successfully expressed and purified. Only two of the designs actually displayed Diels-Alderase activity when tested with the substrates on which the design was based.
Based on these two successful designs, the researchers could improve the catalytic activity by mutating amino acids surrounding the active site. The most successful of the resulting variants turned out to have a 97% selectivity for the desired product, which is one of eight possible isomeric forms, and which in the uncatalysed reaction would only represent less than half of the product yield.
As Baker and colleagues point out in their paper, having an enzyme that is active in a new kind of chemical reaction is only the beginning of new endeavours. Established methods of protein engineering as well as directed evolution (see below) can be applied to vary parameters, including the substrate specificity and the efficiency of the enzyme. This process may eventually lead to a whole family of novel enzymes that will be natural in their biological structure but will perform activities wholly unprecedented in nature.
Conferring chirality
Last year, researchers used a different approach to create a novel metallo-enzyme, which can lend chiral specificity to a kind of ligand widely used in organic chemistry. The groups of Thomas Ward from the University of Basel, Switzerland, and Tomislav Rovis from Colorado State University at Fort Collins, US, exploited the natural affinity between the protein streptavidin and its ligand biotin, linking a cyclopentadienyl ligand to the biotin via an amide bond (Science (2012) 338, 500–503). The cyclopentadienyl anion is an aromatic, electron-rich ring compound which readily associates with transition metal ions, e.g. with iron to form ferrocene. Its derivatives are widely used in metal-organic chemistry and catalysis, but it is difficult to turn this highly symmetric compound into something that could confer chirality in a catalysed reaction.
Ward and Rovis studied a reaction in which a normally inert carbon–hydrogen bond in a benzene derivative is activated such that a second ring can connect that carbon atom to a side chain already attached to the benzene. As a model substrate they used benzhydroxamic acid (Ph-CO-NH-OH), with methylacrylate as the reaction partner that binds to the activated site of the benzene and closes the ring. In the reaction, the pair of carbon atoms joined by a double bond in the methylacrylate can insert itself into the new ring in two different orientations (regioselectivity), and the one closer to the ester group will become a chiral centre, leading to a total of four possible stereoisomers.
Complexes of rhodium liganded with a cyclopentadienyl derivative on one side and chloride ions on the other are known to catalyse this reaction. The mechanism requires the rhodium to keep the cyclopentadienyl ring and to use all three coordination sites opposite to it, such that there is no space where one could introduce a chiral ligand to guide the stereochemistry of the reaction.
By coupling the cyclopentadienyl ring to biotin, which in turn naturally binds to the protein streptavidin, the researchers created an artificial metal enzyme for this reaction in the hope that the chiral environment of the protein would induce stereochemical selectivity in the reaction, which otherwise leads to a nearly balanced racemate.
First experiments with the new construct gave only traces of the desired product. Modelling the active site, the researchers identified two amino acid side chains of streptavidin that are located close to the metal and might have an influence on the reaction. Systematically replacing these with acidic side chains, they found that a variant with an aspartate residue in position 121 achieves good reaction yields. "Engineering this carboxylate residue proved critical as it significantly accelerated the rate-determining C–H deprotonation step," explains Ward.
The researchers then mutagenised the other amino acid residue close to the site in a bid to improve stereoselectivity. In position 112, introduction of aromatic side chains led to both improved turnover and enantiomeric purity of the product. Further studies revealed that the four rhodium complexes incorporated into a streptavidin tetramer act completely independently and with the same performance parameters.
As the new enzyme closes a ring next to a benzene ring, it could be categorised as a benzannulase. In a mixture of MOPS buffer and methanol, it can also activate certain substituted variants of the original substrate as well as a bicyclic one (i.e. a naphthalene derivative).
Triangulation tricks
Ring compounds of just three carbon atoms (cyclopropane compounds) are highly strained and therefore unstable. No wonder that they are rarely found in nature (although plants use a cyclopropane amino acid as a precursor for the production of the hormone ethylene), while organic chemists consider them an interesting challenge.
To create an artificial enzyme to meet this challenge, the group of Frances Arnold at the California Institute of Technology at Pasadena, US, started from a large and versatile family of enzymes, namely the cytochrome P450 enzymes (Science (2013) 339, 307–310). Behind the bewildering variety of chemical reactions catalysed by this large family of proteins stands a very simple chemical reason. These so-called mono-oxygenases have a common way of reducing one of the two atoms in an oxygen molecule to make water. With the remaining oxygen atom, evolution apparently allowed them to do whatever they wanted, such that today there are thousands of very different redox reactions catalysed by these enzymes, which are used, for instance, in hormone synthesis, processing of fatty acids, and decomposition of organic substances.
Some of these reactions lead to a reactive species geometrically similar to cyclopropane, but with an oxygen taking the place of one of the carbon atoms in the triangle, known as an epoxide. Specifically, these enzymes activate oxygen by coordinating the single atom to a haem-iron cofactor, from which the oxygen is transferred to a carbon–carbon double bond, with which it forms the epoxide.
Arnold and her coworkers had already studied variants of one such cytochrome P450 enzyme, namely CYP102A1 from Bacillus megaterium, in great detail and accumulated thousands of variants of it, when they embarked on a radical change to the catalysed reaction. If they could replace the oxene ligand on the haem iron with the electronically equivalent carbene, they reckoned they should be able to transfer this to an alkene and obtain a cyclopropane compound. Moreover, this reaction breaks the symmetry of the alkene and creates two new chiral centres, as long as each side of the C=C double bond carries two different substituents. With the chiral environment of a re-engineered cytochrome P450 enzyme, the researchers hoped they might be able to make this reaction selective for one of the four possible stereoisomers. (The non-hydrogen substituents can be arranged on the same side of the triangle plane (cis) or on opposite sides (trans), and each of these versions comes as a pair of enantiomers (mirror images).)
Initial experiments showed that wild-type CYP102A1 as well as some other P450 enzymes showed a modest ability to produce cyclopropane compounds from model substrates (styrene as the alkene compound, and ethyl diazo acetate as the carbene precursor). Screening their library of variants systematically, Arnold and colleagues identified 92 diverse candidates which they tested in detail. Out of a final shortlist of ten variants, they found that five were more active than the wild type and showed an interesting range of stereoselectivities, with up to 95% enantioselectivity. From these, the researchers picked one variant for detailed investigation of the enzyme reaction and further mutagenesis. Their results, the authors conclude, "suggest that this approach will be useful for other synthetically important transformations for which biological counterparts do not yet exist."
Organic chemistry has no shortage of reactions lacking enzyme support. "Among the synthetically important reactions for which no natural enzymes exist, one should mention C–C cross-coupling reactions as well as olefin metathesis. Both these reaction classes were awarded Nobel prizes in the past few years," says Ward, referring to the inventions of Nobel laureates Richard Heck, Ei-ichi Negishi, and Akira Suzuki (2010), and of Yves Chauvin, Robert Grubbs, and Richard Schrock (2005). "With synthetic biology applications in mind, creating artificial enzymes for these reactions would open fascinating perspectives to complement metabolic pathways with these abiotic reactions."
Pedro Coelho, first author of the cyclopropane paper, nominated the same two types of reactions, and also mentioned the Wittig reaction (converting an aldehyde or ketone into an alkene, Nobel prize 1979).
Screening systematically
Once scientists have succeeded in producing a novel enzyme, they can use both design and directed evolution to build on that achievement, improving the performance of the new catalyst or shifting its specificity towards new tasks.
Manfred Reetz came to enzyme catalysis from organic chemistry, with the wishes of synthetic chemists in mind. Working at the Max Planck Institute for Coal Research at Mülheim and at the University of Marburg, he spent much of the most recent phase of his career (until his recent move to emeritus status) developing high-throughput methods for the directed evolution of enzymes (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. (2011) 50, 138–174). Initially, this work aimed at improving thermostability for industrial applications, but enantioselectivity soon became an important target.
Following a proof-of-principle study improving the enantioselectivity of a lipase in the mid 1990s, Reetz's group developed a whole toolkit for the directed evolution of enzymes, including iterative saturation mutagenesis (ISM), which reduces the workload of screening by focusing saturation mutagenesis on the most promising sites.
The choice of these sites relies on the combinatorial active-site saturation test (CAST), which takes into account the structural information relating to the active site available from experimental structure determination or from computer modelling.
Applying these tools both to existing natural enzymes and to de novo designed ones on a large scale should open up a whole new world of enzyme catalysis, meeting many of the needs of synthetic chemistry, including the synthesis of new pharmaceutical agents.

Something that moves up and down, back and forth, in and out, left and right, or otherwise in a gradual, curving, or undulating motion. See also waveform.
A ripple or undulation. All electromagnetic radiation, including radio signals, light rays, x-rays, and cosmic rays, as well as sound, behave like rippling waves in the ocean. To visualize a wave, take a piece of paper and keep drawing a line up and down while pulling the paper perpendicular to the line. Modulate the line by making it different lengths as you draw it with the paper moving, and notice the resulting pattern. See wave-particle duality and wavelength.
wave - Cultural Definition
In physics, any regularly recurring event, such as surf coming in toward a beach, that can be thought of as a disturbance moving through a medium. Waves are characterized by wavelength, frequency, and the speed at which they move. Waves are found in many forms.
- The motion of a wave and the motion of the medium on which the wave moves are not the same: ocean waves, for example, move toward the beach, but the water itself merely moves up and down. Sound waves are spread by alternating compression and expansion of air.
wave - Medical Definition
- A disturbance traveling through a medium by which energy is transferred from one particle of the medium to another without causing any permanent displacement of the medium itself.

All mtn snowboard help please.
Hey im looking for a good all mountain snowboard at the moment, cant really decide on what I want, ive looked at some burton, k2,lib and rome. Im an all mtn rider and I also ride a little park, by little I mostly mean hardly anything. The most stuff I do is natural jumps. im 6' weigh 210, boot size is 11.5(probability a wide board) and im not biased with any company. I just need some help. Budget is like $600 and below. thanks for the help.

How much experience do you have? Is it your 1st or 2nd season?
If you're new(ish), keep the current setup. Having a different board based on ice conditions or region is only useful if you have the experience to capitalize on the technology gain. If you're still new, magnetraction isn't going to save you from slams. If anything, it may cause more. And having a Never Summer won't help you link turns. You may not be new, I could be way off. If so...ignore me. I went gear crazy last year and it wasn't worth it. I've got 3 boards now and none of them are worth squat after the first time they touch the snow. Save the bankroll for a trip.

After more than a year of promise and preparation, Registered Traveler has finally expanded beyond Orlando International Airport. Programs designed to speed enrolled travelers through specially designated airport security lanes have launched at several airports, and the Transportation Security Administration has given the green light to additional Registered Traveler providers.
Airports in Cincinnati; San Jose, Calif.; and Indianapolis all opened Registered Traveler lanes in January. In addition, British Airways on January 16 opened an RT lane at Terminal 7 at John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York.
The Registered Traveler provider in all of these cases is Verified Identity Pass Inc., which operates an RT program called Clear. New York–based Verified opened the first Registered Traveler lanes at Orlando International Airport two years ago.
Verified also has agreements in place with Air France and Virgin Atlantic Airways. Air France will sponsor a Registered Traveler program at JFK International Airport's Terminal 1, which is expected to start screening passengers later this month, while Virgin Atlantic in March will bring "fast-lane" security to its passengers at Newark International Airport's Terminal B.
According to Verified, 35,000 people nationwide have signed up for the Clear program. Participants pay a fee ($99.95) to be pre-screened by the TSA and receive a biometric identity card that provides them with expedited passage through Registered Traveler security checkpoints.
Right now Verified is the only RT provider operating at U.S. airports, but other companies are in position to roll out programs as well. Unisys Corp. of Blue Bell, Pa., plans to have a Registered Traveler program up and running at Reno-Tahoe International Airport in late February. Verant Identification Systems Inc. of Rochester, N.Y., and Saflink Corp. of Kirkland, Wash., have also been approved by TSA to operate Registered Traveler programs.
Verified has also introduced new shoe-scanning technology at its Clear lanes in Orlando. The technology detects the presence of metal and explosives in shoes, allowing Clear members to pass through without removing their shoes if they show no presence of metal or explosives. Verified is also working on a technology that will allow Clear members to go through its lanes without removing coats or other outer garments.

(Heb. o'ren, "tremulous"), mentioned only Isa. 44:14 (R.V., "fir tree"). It is rendered "pine tree" both in the LXX. and Vulgate versions. There is a tree called by the Arabs _aran_, found still in the valleys of Arabia Petraea, whose leaf resembles that of the mountain ash. This may be the tree meant. Our ash tree is not known in Syria.

This weeks selection from the Flight International Spaceflight archive
STS-114 "Return to Flight" Space Shuttle Mission
Space Shuttle Main Engines being installed on the Discovery at the Orbiter Processing Facility at NASA's Kennedy Space Center.
Good guess but not the right answer have another shot..........
Saturn V
No, jetrobert.
Without the shadow of a doubt SSME, but ...... which mission ?
Not having seen any of the archives I would say Columbia for STS-1 or Discovery for STS-26R.
The very first mission in 1981 or the very first "Return to Flight" in 1988 .....
I found the same image (black and white) at p. 65 of Aerofax Datagraph 5 - "Rockwell International Space Shuttle" - by Dennis Jenkins - 1989 - Aerofax, Inc. ...... with the following (useless) caption: "Each SSME produces 375,000lbs. of thrust at sea level. The engines are regeneratively cooled by liquid hydrogen flowing through thrust chamber walls".
Well we shall see all will be revealed on Wednesday
Space Shuttle Orbiter Columbia main propulsion system after re-installation in July 1980, months before the April 12, 1981 first flight.
"The 12 March image shows the Space Shuttle Main Engines and orbital manouvering system engines installed in the Space Shuttle Orbiter 102, Columbia, on 20 August 1980."

Good! Fast responsiveness~
March 01, 2013
This is really good for keeping and helping your position when you are riding on slope. It tend to be soft but stand enough. Excellent with Burton Supreme boots.
Pros: Performance, Great valueBetter feel of the board
January 23, 2011
I gave durability and quality excellent ratings in good faith but these two remain to be seen since I haven't had the bindings long. My previous Burton bindings are still good, even after 3 years of riding an average of 20 days/season. At first, I couldn't really tell the difference of the feel. My problem was that I was on groomers, not doing anything out of the ordinary. As soon as I got off-piste and started playing around on uneven terrain, I got it. I could feel the board much better and got a much better feel for the terrain and landings. I'm using these on a Burton Lip-Stick 145, (my 3rd board) and loving it. I have the 3D glasses, (cyan), color which is super cute.

Huddling With Jesus?: UConn Football Coach Says Players Must Accept Christ To Succeed
A position coach for the University of Connecticut's football team said he intends to add a new "superstar" recruit to the Huskies' squad: Jesus Christ.
UConn, which is a public institution, recently hired Ernest T. Jones to serve as the team's running backs coach and also as its director of "player engagement." Since nobody would know what "player engagement" means without an explanation, Jones was kind enough to clarify. Read more

The Gleed Chair was established to memorialize Thomas F. Gleed, a prominent Seattle businessman and longtime friend and contributor to Seattle University. Mr. Gleed's association with Seattle University dates back to the early 1950's when he and other local business leaders began to organize support for educational programs at the university. His advice and direction helped to guide an emerging institution through several important building phases.
The Thomas F. Gleed Chair of Business Administration brings a distinguished business educator to the Albers School of Business and Economics for a two-year period. The recipient will serve as a resource for university students and faculty and actively participate in community activities such as business seminars, lectures, and conferences. The specific duties will be tailored to the strengths of the chair holder.
The Gleed Chair was established in 1980. Chair holders were originally selected for a one- to five-year term. They are now selected for a two-year term.

Toward Greater Portability: A Quixotic View
Don Quixote: Ahhh, Sancho, think of it! A single GUI interface that would allow me to write my application once and then run it on Windows, OS2 Warp and Linux boxes without changing one line! Maybe even on Alpha and Sun boxes too.
Sancho: But Master, no one can agree on anything. Especially the big embarcaderos. And if they did agree on something like that, it would only be after a hundred years. Or maybe longer. Then I sleep in the earth. May I rest in peace.
[Sancho sometimes transmogrifies vocables when he speaks. It is not clear exactly what he means by "embarcaderos". The meaning probably lies somewhere within the semantic turf demarcated by the concepts "entrepreneurs", "big guys in business", "movers and shakers", or the concept of your choice that denotes mercantile power, grandeur and a touch of narcissism.]
Don Quixote: Have you forgotten the great examples of cooperation? The ones that made computing easier? What about the LIM memory specification? Three giants—your embarcaderos—created one method of accessing memory above one megabyte so that programs could be bigger, faster.
Sancho: Careful, Master. One of the last giants was a windmill.
Don Quixote: Sancho, it was a giant. And remember: I am your master.
Sancho: But Master, just one example. Once is an exception. Proves nada! Twice is a coincidence. Also proves nada. Three times is a pattern. Give a second example!
Don Quixote: You doubter! You miss the best in life because you look down, not up. You overlook great things to discover only the pebbles in your own shoes.
Sancho: Please, Master, the example. A poor man like me does not go far on words and ideas. Please, something concrete!
Don Quixote: Sancho, Sancho! What about STL, the standard template library? Now we all have containers that can be used with almost any ANSI compiler! We cooperated on that! What about the committee that drafted standards for C++? Knights from all over the industry came together. These are great achievements.
Sancho: All right, Master! STL and ANSI standards are both C++. You get credit for one example only. Nothing more. That's number two. So now you have a coincidence.
Don Quixote: Have I made my point?
Sancho: No!! You give three good examples, or I believe in nothing! Nada! Nada!
Don Quixote: Sancho, Sancho, so pedestrian, so little imagination. I fear for your salvation.
Sancho: Master, the example, please!
Don Quixote: Think of Java. Here we have something like the ideal I am thinking of. We write once, we run many. Why? Java is interpreted code. And the interpreter is written for the platform. The application is written for the interpreter. So we run on all platforms.
Sancho: Oh, Master! If Java is interpreted, Java is slower! Slower is not good. Faster is good.
Don Quixote: Exactly! For once you have something right. We need performance and portability.
Sancho: But Master! Where is the cooperation? Sun Microsystems created Java.
Don Quixote: You miss the point. Sun did cooperate. They licensed Java to anyone who agreed not to provincialize the language by creating non-portable, local extensions. Most people respected this agreement. Java was not theirs to take over anyway. So Java is portable, mainly.
Sancho: Master, Master! What is this ahead?
[Sancho and Don Quixote have just reached the crest of a hill, and looking down the other side, they spy a bridge over a small brook. Next to it stands a sign: "Bridge to Cross". Just as they approach the crossing, a Proprietary Troll jumps up from below the bridge onto the road, barring their way.]
Proprietary Troll: I control this bridge, and you must pay toll, or you may not cross.
Don Quixote: Sir, I am a Knight, champion of Dulcinea del Toboso and future keeper of the universal GUI interface. Let us pass, sir!
Proprietary Troll: I control this bridge, and you must pay toll. Heed my words, or you will fare badly.
Don Quixote: Indeed! What will I lose?
Proprietary Troll: Market Share, my Knight, market share!
Don Quixote: [suddenly thoughtful] I see. And what toll do you desire?
Proprietary Troll: Control!
Don Quixote: Of what? You mean the GUI interface? You want to control that too?
Proprietary Troll: That most of all. That is your toll. Give it up, turn it over to me, or you will not pass. I control the bridge, I control the interface and I control you.
Don Quixote: Not so fast, you runt!
Sancho: Master, Master! You forget yourself!
Don Quixote: You forget your bridge is just one miserable, narrow crossing, that your brook is just a tributary of one great, massive stream whose power sweeps us all along, that you can simply be washed away if you fail to meet the needs of travelers who come this way. You overreach yourself! Say, aren't you a little far from Scandinavia?
Proprietary Troll: [puffing himself up and then expelling a lot of hot air] Try to cross without my help. Lose market share. We will see who is swept away!
Don Quixote: Canis culum in tuo naso! We will find another bridge and cross elsewhere. We do not need you to provide a crossing. If need be, we build a bridge of our own.
["Canis culum in tuo naso" is a Latin curse which first occurs in writing in the Old High German period (ca. 850-1050) in a phrase book for travelers which gives Latin phrases and their German equivalents. The Old High German equivalent is: "hundes ars in dine nas".]
Sancho: [to himself] Such nonsense! For windmills he sees giants. Trolls bigger than life. Oh, Lord, give me something small again, a pebble for my shoe!
Don Quixote: Sancho, forget your pebbles! Let us hie ourselves hence and find another crossing.
[Sancho and the Don turn about to find a crossing on another tributary of the great stream. Their thoughts return to the interface.]
Sancho: OK, you gave three examples. Tell me more about your universal gooey face.
Don Quixote: [grimaces at Sancho] Sancho, if I am no longer your master, how will you fill your belly? I said Universal GUI interface, not gooey face. Sometimes I don't think you take me seriously.
Sancho: Sorry, Master! Tell me more about your gooey inter...face.
Don Quixote: That's better. First, the universal GUI interface should be a standard that remains the same from platform to platform just like STL or ANSI C++. The details of the implementation should be hidden from the client because they're platform dependent. This interface means that ideally programs can run on multiple platforms without change.
Sancho: What is the gooey interface supposed to do?
Don Quixote: That's easy. The interface should provide a complete set of tools which perform routine window management tasks and offer all the functionality of the provincial GUI interfaces already in place. These tools should be general enough to be very flexible but powerful enough to compete head-on with the provincial GUI interfaces out there and provide programmers with a serious opportunity to write portable code.
Sancho: Great. But what language will you write this in? Spanish? Portuguese?
Don Quixote: C++ of course! It is object-oriented, supports inheritance, and the details of the implementation can easily be hidden from clients. It is also fast and allows access to the hardware.
Sancho: Can you be more specific? What procedures will your universal gooey interface include to manage a window?
Don Quixote: The details are best left to the Knights who convene to create the interface. All they need to do is decide what functionality the interface should include and then examine the provincial interfaces already in place to see if implementing that functionality is practical.
Sancho: Has anyone ever tried to write a universal gooey interface?
Don Quixote: Not that I know of. [Suddenly the Don is full of himself.] But there is rustling in the woods, voices from under the earth, whisperings in the breeze. A new age may be at hand. [The Don thumps his chest triumphantly as though the battle were already won.]
Sancho: [To himself] What nonsense! [To the Don] What do you mean? Your words are confused....uhhh...excuse, Sire, I mean confusing. Can you give an example?
Don Quixote: No one has tried to write what I speak of exactly but there are movements in that direction. The X Window System has been ported from Linux to OS/2 so that an OS/2 machine can be hooked to a Linux network and run its software. Also, a Windows emulator is being developed for Linux so that Windows applications will run inside Linux even though Linux is not a genuine Windows platform. Finally, programmers in Allemagne have created a conio.h and conio.c implementation that mimics the conio.h and conio.c files in Borland and Watcom C so that PC-DOS programs port more easily to Linux. And there is a PC-DOS emulator for Linux too. These achievements all attempt to allow someone to run a program on a platform it was not written for without changing code, and their common goal is portability.
Sancho: Do you think the knights will be able to do such a thing as the gooey face at all?
Don Quixote: I don't know, but I hope so.
Sancho: What stops them?
Don Quixote: Just a little cooperation.

Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

In today's hypercompetitive markets, fast results can make a difference between leading the pack vs. obsolescence. Organizations need more benefits from cloud computing than just raw resources. They need agility, flexibility, convenience, ROI, and control.
Stackato private Platform-as-a-Service technology from ActiveState extends your private cloud infrastructure by creating a private PaaS to provide on-demand availability, flexibility, control, and ultimately, faster time-to-market for your enterprise.

Have you ever had a problem with one specific pokemon and you cant get past it? Well this thread is for those kind of problems. See you sometimes have those times when you have 5 pokemon on your team but your already countered hard by a single pokemon. Or one of your pokemon are dead weight most of the time and adds to the problem. Then your still in the right place. SOOOO to get us started let me tell you a storie. My friend was having a problem with Pinsir of his team so he asked me for help. Well my original idea was a scarf Rotom with Hp-Fire aparantly he didnt want another scarf on his team since he had 2. So still going on rotom(since it resist its stab and is immune to most of its best attacks) i thought a defensive rotom would work wonders.....well i was right i gave that bitch max Hp and Def and from damage calcs he can beat it 1v1 and sometimes even if he switches in(if it uses X-Scissor). Set: Pinsir Counter(Rotom)-Leftovers Trait: Levitate Nature:Bold EV: 252 Hp/252 Def/ 4 SpA Substitute/ Pain Split/ Confuse Ray/ HP-Fire thing can stop and kill a Pinsir with out to much trouble. Its takes about 23-27% from a life orb max attack max speed Adamant Pinsir and about 48-50% from stone edge from the same Pinsir. Hp-Fire can 2hko it and Pain split can easily reduce its life span if your at low health. Confuse ray and Pain Split Can be replaced with other moves such as Will-O-Wisp and Hex which 1hko it with SR 100% of the time(all calculations done on smogons damage calculator. SO thats the set tell me what you think and any other sets to counter specefic pokemon. Also if you need to counter a specefic pokemon list name and set and i can see if i can help you counter it better
Not really going to comment heavily on this, but STAB Thunderbolt has 95x1.5=142 power whereas super effective Hidden Power has 70x2=140 power.
true ill check damage calculations on this ThunderBolt has only slightly higher damage % rate and is about the same 2hko rate
Honestly, if you want to counter pinsir most of the time, you should go with will-o-wisp and thunderbolt instead of confuse-ray and HP-fire. On the other hand, I think what I thought the thread was at first is something we should try out. Post and experiment with new, unusual counters to common threats. Who knows, we could even learn something (!!!).
Confuse ray has a chance of making it deal damage to its self so it helps with leftovers recovery, that extra bit of damage , and if he gets a a crit the extra leftovers recovery will help me surivive the attack if im not able to take it out although confuse ray can be easily replace with will-o-wisp to take hits better Its also not just about countering Pinsir but pokemon that you need a counter for.

EA Extends Madden NFL Deal Through 2013
Publisher gets an extra year due to the threat of a lockout.
Due to the potential of a lockout season in 2011, the National Football League has extended its contract with Electronic Arts through 2013, making Madden the only sports franchise with the NFL license for at least the next three years.
EA CEO John Riccitiello acknowledged a recent report by the Sports Business Journal yesterday at the Goldman Sachs Technology and Internet Conference in San Francisco. He said the report is "largely true," saying EA did negotiate with the NFL to extend the current deal. The publisher will also pay less license royalty fees for next season in the event of a lockout.
"I have every hope in the world that the NFL and the Players Association will come together, resolve the differences and we get to watch football like we always do," Riccitiello stated. "It's the number one sport in the country. The Super Bowl was the most-watched television program in history. It's part of America. It's part of what we want to see happen."
The current NFL collective bargaining agreement expires on Mar. 3, 2011.

One Book, One Chicago: Paul Rusesabagina in conversation with Jerome McDonnell
Date: Tue. October 16, 2012
Time: 6:00 pm
Harold Washington Library Center
Cindy Pritzker Auditorium
400 S. State Street
Program: One Book, One Chicago
About this event:
What choices does one make in times of war? This is one of the many questions asked in The Book Thief and is mirrored in the experiences of Paul Rusesabagina during the Rwandan genocide of 1994.
Rusesabagina sheltered more than a thousand Tutsis and moderate Hutus in the hotel where he was concierge—a story captured in the film Hotel Rwanda and in Rusesabagina's autobiography An Ordinary Man.
The humanitarian activist joins Worldview host Jerome McDonnell for a discussion about taking action against injustice.
Seating is available first come, first served. Reservations are not required. Books will be available for purchase and Mr. Rusesabagina will sign copies at the conclusion of the program.
This program is made possible with support from the Chicago Public Library Foundation.

Recycled wastewater has kept the city of Chino's parks lush for at least 25 years, but it wasn't until a decade ago that Inland Empire Utilities Agency signed its first commercial customer: an injection molding company that uses 14 acre-feet each year in its cooling towers. Photo: Inland Empire Utilities Agency
Reusing water is the ultimate conservation program, and California state authorities apparently agree. They approved Inland Empire Utilities Agency's $30 million plan to build new, or improve, infrastructure necessary to recycle an additional 10,000 acre-feet of wastewater annually to be funded almost entirely through the stimulus package.
The projects, which began construction last summer and are scheduled to be completed by this fall, include:
In addition, two greenfield residential developments are fully dual-plumbed, meaning that each house has a treated-water piping system and a separate system with purple-colored pipes indicating recycled water.
CEO and General Manager Richard Atwater attributes his team's success in accessing stimulus funds to a combination of factors: Employees paid attention to and followed tedious application details; and the project promotes conservation, so it received credit for promoting energy savings and lowering greenhouse gas emissions.
And, finally, plain old luck: Design/planning had been completed, so the project was shovel-ready.

Pretty good movie for a rainy nite at home. Kinda far fetched.... But well acted and it keeps your attention for the most part.
pretty good but could hzve been better
Not too bad. Great movie to redbox or netflix for a movie night with friends. Not worth seeing in the theater though.
Great story line, except for the fact that it was putting me to sleep. I felt that there should have been alot more action than I expected.

The modern Aarhus
Aarhus is a dynamic city full of life where youthful energy meets dramatic history. When people in Aarhus say "within walking distance", they mean "within walking distance".
A fifteen minute bicycle ride from the city centre will take you to a harbour, beaches and forests. The renowned art museum ARoS exhibits cutting edge works from some of the world's most progressive artists. Den Gamle By – The Old Town Museum is a unique world-class attraction in its own right. Aarhus is also a haven for shopping. In fact, the city was recently voted Scandinavia's top shopping destination. And while you're in Aarhus, be sure to mix up your stay with cosy café visits, relaxed strolls in the Latin Quarter and enjoy all the other attractions in the city that has it everything!

The tourists think big. Arriving in Southern California, they expect to conquer Disneyland and Hollywood, perhaps on the same day, in between the surfing and snowboarding.
The locals think small. Tracing tight little loops between home and work, they dodge freeways and alien neighborhoods. What we have here, whether you're a tourist or a local, is a failure to fully appreciate the wonders and weirdness of Southern California.

The Shortage of IT Experts
Qualify for a free subscription to HealthLeaders magazine.
Glenn McElroy |
Glenn McElroy
Executive Director
Columbia (Mo.) Surgical Associates Inc.
It is pretty easy to find the guy who can handle the complex hardware networks within the office. However, the complex software—and the nuances and constant updates that are associated with each, often unfixing things you fixed last week—gives you constant new challenges, and finding someone who has a handle on both hardware and EMR is very difficult. I am not sure I know anybody who is really happy with their EMR and practice management products as they interrelate.
It is self-correcting somewhat with the younger doctors coming up, but in the short term we aren't going to outgrow it. It is the switchover from the texted base to a data-based EMR that is throwing everybody for a loop. That consternation is going to lessen as more of the old guard who are used to dictating verbal notes either retire or give up and get on a computer and figure out how to make it work. The younger docs coming up are very familiar with messing with computers and can't think of any other way to do it.
