Importance of Explicit Salt Ions for Protein Stability in Molecular Dynamics Simulation Biophysical Journal, Volume 74, Issue 6, 1 June 1998, Pages 2906-2911 Gulshat T. Ibragimova and Rebecca C. Wade Abstract The accurate and efficient treatment of electrostatic interactions is one of the challenging problems of molecular dynamics simulation. Truncation procedures such as switching or shifting energies or forces lead to artifacts and significantly reduced accuracy. The particle mesh Ewald (PME) method is one approach to overcome these problems by providing a computationally efficient means of calculating all long-range electrostatic interactions in a periodic simulation box by use of fast Fourier transformation techniques. For the application of the PME method to the simulation of a protein with a net charge in aqueous solution, counterions are added to neutralize the system. The usual procedure is to add charge-balancing counterions close to charged residues to neutralize the protein surface. In the present article, we show that for MD simulation of a small protein of marginal stability, the YAP-WW domain, explicit modeling of 0.2M ionic strength (in addition to the charge-balancing counterions) is necessary to maintain a stable protein structure. Without explicit ions throughout the periodic simulation box, the charge-balancing counterions on the protein surface diffuse away from the protein, resulting in destruction of the β-sheet secondary structure of the WW domain.

Stability of Triple-Helical Poly(dT)-Poly(dA)-Poly(dT) DNA with Counterions Biophysical Journal, Volume 75, Issue 1, 1 July 1998, Pages 70-91 Voichita M. Dadarlat and V.K. Saxena Abstract Structural conformation of triple-helical poly(dT)-poly(dA)-poly(dT) has been a very controversial issue recently. Earlier investigations, based on fiber diffraction data and molecular modeling, indicated an A-form conformation with C′3−endo sugar pucker. On the other hand, Raman, solution infrared spectral, and NMR studies show a B-form structure with C′2−endo sugars. In accordance with these experimental results, a theoretical model with B-form, C′2−endo sugars was proposed in 1993. In the present work we investigate the dynamics and stability of the two conformations within the effective local field approach applied to the normal mode calculations for the system. The presence of counterions was explicitly taken into account. Stable equilibrium positions for the counterions were calculated by analyzing the normal mode dynamics and free energy of the system. The breathing modes of the triple helix are shifted to higher frequencies over those of the double helix by 4–16cm−1. The characteristic marker band for the B conformation at 835cm−1 is split up into two marker bands at 830 and 835cm−1. A detailed comparison of the normal modes and the free energies indicates that the B-form structure, with C′2−endo sugar pucker, is more stable than the A-form structure. The normal modes and the corresponding dipole moments are found to be in close agreement with recent spectroscopic findings. Abstract | Full Text | PDF (307 kb) |
Multiscale Study of Counterion-Induced Attraction and Bundle Formation of F-Actin Using an Ising-like Mean-Field Model Biophysical Journal, Volume 85, Issue 6, 1 December 2003, Pages 3532-3543 Xueping Yu and A.E. Carlsson Abstract An Ising-like counterion-binding model is developed and solved by a mean-field method. For G-actin, the calculated affinity constants of all the binding sites ranging from loose to tight binding match the experimental data. The model is used to calculate the interaction energy between two F-actin filaments. Within a certain counterion concentration range, a rapidly decaying attractive force between two parallel filaments is produced not only by the correlation of the counterion distributions on the two filaments, but also by the correlation of the configurations of the two filaments with fixed counterion positions, which has been ignored in previous calculations. The bundling energy depends strongly on the configuration of the filaments. Upon bundling, the tightly bound counterion site is not affected, but the medium and loosely bound ones are. The model reproduces the observed minimal divalent counterion concentration for bundling, and naturally predicts the resolubilization of bundles which is seen in recent experiments. At the optimal counterion concentration, we obtain a bundling energy of ∼−0.01eV per monomer along the filament. The counterion valence strongly affects the optimal counterion concentration, but has only minor effects on the optimal bundling energy. We show that the attractive potential between filaments can be simplified as the sum of interactions between their monomers. This simplification makes it possible to calculate the exact free energy of a two-F-actin-filament system. We are thus able to probe the effects of filament length on F-actin bundling and obtain a critical length for bundling of 59 monomers at 1μM monomer concentration and pH=7.2.

Biophysical Journal, Volume 77, Issue 4, 2191-2198, 1 October 1999
Gulshat T. Ibragimova and Rebecca C. Wade,
European Molecular Biology Laboratory, 69012 Heidelberg, Germany
The WW domain consists of ∼40 residues, has no disulfide bridges, and forms a three-stranded antiparallel β-sheet that is monomeric in solution. It thus provides a model system for studying β-sheet stability in native proteins. We performed molecular dynamics simulations of two WW domains, YAP65 and FBP28, with very different stability characteristics, in order to explore the initial unfolding of the β-sheet. The less stable YAP domain is much more sensitive to simulation conditions than the FBP domain. Under standard simulation conditions in water (with or without charge-balancing counterions) at 300K, the β-sheet of the YAP WW domain disintegrated at early stages of the simulations. Disintegration commenced with the breakage of a hydrogen bond between the second and third strands of the β-sheet due to an anticorrelated transition of the Tyr-28 ψ and Phe-29 ϕ angles. Electrostatic interactions play a role in this event, and the YAP WW domain structure is more stable when simulated with a complete explicit model of the surrounding ionic strength. Other factors affecting stability of the β-sheet are side-chain packing, the conformational entropy of the flexible chain termini, and the binding of cognate peptide.

Fruit jars stand up, stand out
Adding value
Signature Fruit sees the new plastic jar as providing the company with a whole new line of products under its Libby's licensed brand name according to Kathy Sheldon Signature's vice president of marketing.
"This is not a replacement container for us" she says. "This line is targeted to a different demographic than glass jars. Glass-packed fruits tend to be rather pricey and they're not exactly user-friendly for households with children. So this line is a mid-range product priced between cans and glass jars." The 24.5-oz jars retail for $1.99 to $2.49.
"We decided to market the products under the Libby's brand so we selected our best-selling items like peaches and fruit medley for this container" Sheldon continues. "The fruit medley is a bit different from a conventional fruit cocktail; it's more of a fruit salad. Typically we made this product only for foodservice customers in the past. So we feel these are premium products that we developed for this upscale packaging."
The label graphics included a new repeating brandmark for the Libby's name according to Ron Wilkinson the designer at Nishihara-Wilkinson. "But we wanted to leave most of the label clear to let the fruit show through."
Front panel violator
A violator on the front-panel printing calls attention to "Goodness from California" which is also repeated in a stripe at the bottom of the front panel. This reinforces Sheldon says that these fruits are California-grown and -processed. "We think there really is a quality difference."
Another label panel calls attention to the resealable easy-to-pour jar.
The line was introduced shortly before Thanksgiving 2003 although Sheldon points out that few retailers had it on shelf for the holiday. Along with the Libby's brand that Signature Fruit licenses for deciduous fruits the company expects to use the jar for store brands as well.
"We're in label development with a number of store-brand customers now" Sheldon says. "The level of interest we've had in these products and package has been overwhelming. The container has been very well received. So much so that any new products we develop will probably be packed in this jar."
Graham will also watch the results of the new container. "We're curious to see how this container will do in the market" Arnold says. "After all this is our first wide-mouth container in polypropylene."

Not to be confused with switching iPhones and iPads to Intel-powered chipsets, Apple is rumored to have been in discussions to have their existing iOS device chipsets manufactured by Intel's industry leading foundries. Noel Randewich and Nadia Damouni of Reuters report:
More →
Apple announced during their iPad 3 event that the new iPad will indeed come packed with the rumored quad-core A5X SoC (system-on-a-chip) to power the device.
Adding to the ever-growing iPad 3 rumor mill, a new photo has surfaced on the WeiPhone forums showing a system-on-a-chip nestled onto a prototype logic board, carrying a previously unheard of "A5X". The A5X chip also includes a date code of "1146", which would peg production at or around November 14th-20th of 2011.
iFixit has performed their traditional tear-down of new Apple gear, this time taking the iPad apart piece by gloriously crafted piece, and here's what they found:
The iPad's battery has 5.5x the capacity of the battery in the iPhone! The iPad actually has two batteries wired in parallel, for a total of 24.8 Watt-hours.
Venture Beat claims a "very trusted" source has informed them that Apple's PA Semi team might not have been behind the new iPad's Apple A4 chipset:
PA Semi didn't do the A4. It was the existing VLSI team. Apple has made custom chips for years like the Northbridges for G4 and G5.
According to Bright Side of the News, it turns out that newly spun Apple A4 system-on-a-chip that debuted alongside the iPad does indeed pack more punch than the Sammy in the iPhone 3GS:
During ARM's Q3 financial results announced today, 9to5Mac noticed this little gem:
including a license for ARM's 2GHz implementation of a dual core Cortex-A9 processor.
We've heard about the Cortex A9 before. Purportedly, is 5x faster than an intel Atom, yet uses the same amount of power in a 60% smaller packager.
Could this be for next year's iPhone? For a mythical (maybe even second generation) iTablet? We don't know, but 9to5mac speculates:
Apple Insider reports that Samsung has a 45 nanometer, 1GHz ARM processor, code-named "Hummingbird" on the horizon.
It uses the same Cortex A8 architecture as the current iPhone 3GS (which runs at a clocked-down 600MHz) but due to the smaller size, is said to not consumer any more power or generate any more heat than the current 833MHz generation.
Following up on rumors of a $800 Apple netbook, MacBook, iTablet, etc. VentureBeat reports that Apple might also use the new platform to introduce their long-rumored custom system-on-a-chip.
MacRumors is reporting that Apple's new iPhone 3GS, while indeed using Imagination Technologies' PowerVR graphics core, may just have a little more under the hood than previously thought:
iPhone developers, however, have discovered that the iPhone 3GS has extension files named "IMGSGX535GLDriver" suggesting that the new iPhone uses the more powerful graphics processor intended for "high end" mobile devices. This may not be entirely conclusive evidence by itself but it is consistent with a report from a Anandtech commenter who claims to have heard directly from Apple engineers at WWDC that the iPhone 3GS does indeed use the SGX 535.

My candidate for Speaker? Whoever says this:
"Tradition holds that the Speaker must, above all else, be impartial. But I do not promise neutrality. On the contrary, I shall be the most biased occupant of the Speaker's chair since the Glorious Revolution. I don't mean that I shall show favour to any party or faction in this House: my impartiality in that regard will be total. But when it comes to the privileges of this chamber, I shall be very partial indeed. If you elect me, I shall be your champion against the executive.
Never again will you hear the Speaker ticking off hon Members for questioning ministers too robustly. On the contrary, this Speaker will make a point of ordering ministers back to the Despatch Box if they have not answered questions properly. This Speaker will never connive with Government Whips, neither against the Opposition nor against backbenchers from the majority party. No more will this Speaker tolerate the way in which laws are made by Orders in Council and Statutory Instrument rather than publicly, in this chamber, by the people's tribunes. And this Speaker will not suffer the working conditions of hon Members to be regulated by an external agency: the only agency fit to regulate this House is the electorate.
My first act will be to convoke a Speaker's Conference on how to reassert the independence and integrity of the House of Commons. That conference will explore ways to restore the sovereignty of Parliament, by taking powers back from ministers, from quangos and from courts, domestic and foreign. It will look at how to remove the patronage powers enjoyed by the Prime Minister under Crown Prerogative, and how to make appointments through open parliamentary hearings. It will examine ways to reduce the powers of the party Whips. The terrible truth is that it has become almost impossible to have an honourable career simply as a parliamentarian. As long as every backbencher aspires to become a frontbencher, this House will fail in its primary role: to act as a check on the Government.
I realise that my words will strike many hon Members as revolutionary. The Speaker is, by convention, conservative rather than radical, a moderate, a defender of the status quo. But the status quo is no longer defensible. The dignity of this chamber has been vitiated. Our constituents are giving up on politics and politicians. Nothing less than the legitimacy of representative government is in the balance. Hon Members must act with a decisiveness proportionate to the gravity of our predicament. We shall not regain our moral authority until we first assert our political authority. That task must be undertaken by this House as a whole: I offer myself to be its instrument."

Cannot rename files in directories in Windows 7
Hi, I have this very strange problem which is pulling out my hair.
I want to rename a file in 3 or 4 level folder
The code is simple:
Code PHP:<?php $oldthumb1path = "../TEST/Pics/TSTXX/TSTXX-Portulaca_nigra_t.jpg"; $newthumb1path = "../TEST/Pics/TSTXZ/TSTXZ-Portulaca_nigrescens_t.jpg"; print "

 Renaming $oldthumb1path to $newthumb1path ..."; if (rename ($oldthumb1path , $newthumb1path)) {print " Success! ";} else { print " Rename failed.";} ?>
The result is that the renaming fails with a wrong error message:
Warning: rename(..\TEST\Pics\TSTXX\TSTXX-Portulaca_nigra_t.jpg,..\TEST\Pics\TSTXZ\TSTXZ-Portulaca_nigrescens_t.jpg): No such file or directory in E:\WEBSITE....
The php file is in a php folder common with folder TEst (hence the ../) The strange thing of them all is that if I place the php script in the folder were the file is present (hence in folder TSTXX) the renaming takes place successfully. I really need a tip to solve this since I been programming a long script to rename my web image files (10,000s) automatically, and I am not in the mood to rename them manually.
What's wrong ? 100% sure that there is no typo in the filenames, and the destination file does not exist.

No Pennsbury Budget Cuts
Thinking about what to say to Pennsbury.... Something along the lines of...No closing Pennwood pool because the community uses it as well as the swim team. AP course should not be cut because they help academically advanced students get an edge before college, etc. Post ideas on the facebook page!

If you were by any chance, stretching you brain muscles in order to answer to the most intense tech question out there, HTML 5s framework development house Sencha, comes to your rescue. So the challenge is now on: Whos got the better browser, Android 4 or iOS 5. The answer might come as a shock to some, but to others it will only enforce their hardcore beliefs.
Heres your answer: while Androids 4s browser is a major leap into the right direction, Sencha feels that iOS 5s offering still beats anything available on the market so far. Ice Cream Sandwich is running very close behind, but it will have to keep running in order to surpass Apples latest. But not much
So on what basis did Sencha reach the decision? Well, it tested both browser on the following parameters: rendering performance, HTML5/CSS3 feature support, rendering accuracy and Javascrip performance. When checking for rendering, they applied the industry standard Acid3 test, and both browsers peformed about the same.
Moving on, Sencha applied the SunSpider series of tests build to push Javascript to its limits. For the Sunspider they used an iPad 2 rather than an iPhone 4S, because of the similarities found when comparing the CPU with the one found in Galaxy Nexus. They also added Kindle Fire and Playbook just for fun.
After all these tests were performed, the conclusion came: in the end, it comes to itty bitty differences that the average users can not hope to ever notice. So, the battle between the operating systems would boil down to personal preferences and nothing more. When everything is designed and build in such details, its all about the tiniest of details.

Hartz Dura Play® Latex Dog Ball (Small) -- 1 Toy
The only toy we buy
We have a Pit Bull and a Pug. They love this ball. The Pit eats the squeaker out in the first few days. That's more than fine with us. But it is soft so we can play inside the house or the backyard. It is reasonably durable, so they last 3-4 weeks. And it is the right size for both dogs. Anyway, they love them. We recommend them.
July 31, 2013
Great Ball!
This is my dog's favorite ball! Since she got this ball, she wants nothing to do with tennis balls. She, and all her friends, love these balls!
July 19, 2013
A Favorite
My dog loves this ball. The inside is filled making the squeeze soft and he will carry it everywhere with him. He loves to hear it squeek. We make him leave it in the family room when going to bed and he will run in first thing in the morning to squeek it again. I just wish the squeeker was a bit more durable.
June 20, 2013
My dog LOVES this ball
This is a fantastic squeaker, very sturdy and fun! My dog just can't get enough of this one.
To add to the fun, the ball fits perfectly in the chuck-it , making pitching a breeze.

you should wake up it was tuesday - oct 14th last night i didn't sleep. i took a shower and i sang. after stepping out i checked to make sure the house was empty. no one was home and i felt slightly content. my nerves knotted after i started to get dressed and i couldn't find an explanation. i began to feel that the day was going to be a failure. then i remember july 22nd. i was ready nearly an hour before our planned time to leave and i felt anxious and useless. we left a half hour early arriving at the courthouse around 11am. we waited for her. the courthouse was like a distorted fantasy: not reality and yet so; curious and disappointing - all together bizarre. some barbie dolls strolled through the halls - complete with mechanical movements less human than an android. what i assumed to be "business" women were strutting through the halls as if they had bigger balls than every male present. many locals roamed in the mix, looking shabby and addicted. about 1130am we met with her. she explained everything and i wondered if she had had less coffee since the last i'd seen her. i complete the paper work. we leave for lunch. the jerk doesn't answer any of my attempted calls. he doesn't show either. we locate the courtroom about 45 minutes before the scheduled pre trial. and wait. when the doors open i file in with approx. two dozen others. after several cases, i am called. i answer all the judge's questions concerning my understanding of my rights, my charges, and my plea bargain. i then admit to being guilty and a date for my sentencing is set for november 24th at 930am. we then go to the probation office to fill out more paper work. we go to visit my dad. questions cannot be dodged concerning my choice to move to new jersey. i was nervous and felt slightly embarrassed hearing myself explain the situation. of course this should have been so surprise to me. i felt extreme discomfort at the thought of being there with "her". as anyone who understands the situation might expect, i was desperately trying to see through her transparency since the moment she made her presence known. oddly enough she was solid. i left with an invitation to a family get-together two weekends from now. i suppose it was about this time i wandered away from the desk. this past weekend was homecoming. if you care here are the details. mike came over and woke me up sat sometime early afternoon. we went to the mall so he could get new shoes. we ran around with his mom for a bit. then came home to get ready. he drank a decent amount of robotussin. i took a shit load of benadryl and killed the rest of the robotussin on top of it. i put on my make up and my mom took a couple pictures of us and we were off - just as the shit started to kick in. so ... next week i leave for new jersey. this coming weekend i'm going to visit with dad and family for his birthday. i'll head out a day or after returning to elizabeth, where i'll stay until my next court date. i hate cold weather... |

News report
from the Asheville Citizen-Times, by Sabian WarrenA Fletcher dairy farm with a history of past environmental violations is under investigation by the state for what officials call a major spill of raw animal waste into a popular section of the French Broad River.
N.C. Division of Water Quality inspectors found waste entering the river from an overflowing waste storage pond at Taproot Dairy Farm at a rate of about 11,000 gallons an hour.
Inspectors went to the farm on Butler Bridge Road, south of Asheville in the edge of Henderson County, on Tuesday after being notified of the problem by French Broad Riverkeeper Hartwell Carson.Read the full article

- The Factorization Process
Inside Collection (Textbook): Elementary Algebra
Summary: This module is from Elementary Algebra by Denny Burzynski and Wade Ellis, Jr. Factoring is an essential skill for success in algebra and higher level mathematics courses. Therefore, we have taken great care in developing the student's understanding of the factorization process. The technique is consistently illustrated by displaying an empty set of parentheses and describing the thought process used to discover the terms that are to be placed inside the parentheses. The factoring scheme for special products is presented with both verbal and symbolic descriptions, since not all students can interpret symbolic descriptions alone. Two techniques, the standard "trial and error" method, and the "collect and discard" method (a method similar to the "ac" method), are presented for factoring trinomials with leading coefficients different from 1. Objectives of this module: be able to factor a monomial from a polynomial.
We introduce the process of factoring a monomial from a polynomial by examining a problem: Suppose that
Since the product
Now we see that this problem is simply an extension of finding the factors of a monomial.
Usually, these divisions can be done mentally and the terms of the factor filled in directly.
The product is
We have the problem:
Since there are four terms in the product, there must be four terms inside the parentheses. To find each of the four terms, we'll divide (mentally) each term of the product by
Therefore, the other factor is
This result can be checked by applying the distributive property.
Again, if the divisions can be performed mentally, the process can proceed very quickly.
The product is
Since there are three terms in the product, there must be three terms inside the parentheses. To find each of these three terms, we'll divide each term of the product by

look: 3 | smell: 3.25 | taste: 3 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 3.25
Dark brown pour - ruby red where the light passes through on the edges - with a thin, soapy head. Aroma of brown sugar, chocolate and even a little bourbon. Tastes like brown bread with raisins, very light coffee roast & bitterness. Warm, fairly boozy finish. Pretty good for a brown ale, but brown ales aren't really the greatest to begin with.

look: 4 | smell: 4 | taste: 4 | feel: 4 | overall: 3.5
12 ounce bottle into tulip glass, bottled on 10/22/2013. Pours slightly hazy ruby brown color with a 1-2 finger dense light khaki head with good retention, that reduces to a thin cap that lingers. Spotty soapy lacing clings around the glass. Aromas of grapefruit, orange zest, lemon zest, caramel, toast, brown sugar, chocolate, coffee, light nuttiness, floral, grass, light pine, and floral/toasted earthiness. Very nice aromas with good balance and complexity of hop and dark/roasted malt notes; with good strength. Taste of caramel, brown sugar, toast, cocoa, light coffee, brown bread, light nuttiness, floral, grass, pine, and floral/toasted earthiness. Fair amount of earthy floral/pine bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of caramel, toast, brown sugar, cocoa, brown bread, light coffee, light nuttiness, floral, pine, and toasted earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Very nice balance and complexity of dark/roast malt flavor with moderate hop presence; with good robustness and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Medium carbonation and medium-full bodied; with a moderately creamy and smooth mouthfeel that is good. Alcohol is very well hidden with only a small warming present after the finish. Overall this is a very nice imperial brown ale. All around good balance, complexity, and robustness of dark/roast malt and moderate hop flavors; and very smooth to sip on for the ABV. A very enjoyable offering.

look: 3.75 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3.25 | feel: 3.25 | overall: 3.25
Tasted 12 November 2013, reviewed from notes.
Pours a mahogany brown, clear. Looks brown, but turns reddish with light behind it. Yellowy-orange head, about half a finger. Decent retention and lacing.
Smell is kinda funny. It's almost in the realm of a black IPA, with a powerfully woody, nutty roast that reminds me of brazil nuts with some char, plus an overlayer of some slightly citrusy herbal hops. An unusual combination.
Taste is a moderately sweet, moderately alcoholic brown ale. It's nutty but very dark; not sweet nuts but dark nuts like walnuts and pasty almonds. Has a slightly chalky bitterness that nut skins sometimes have.
Feel is medium-bulky. Carbonation is rather low. I'd like it to be a bit lighter and a bit more carbonated.
This is an odd beer, which I suppose shouldn't surprise me from Short's. It's like they throw all kinds of stuff in a blender to see if it works, and if it doesn't work they throw some other stuff in a blender. Occasionally they get hits, but often they get oddballs like this one.

Good brew for Raul. I'm not on the top of Mount Vesuvius, I'm not in the Hanging Gardens Of Babylon, but I'm feeling this one well enough that I can close my eyes in the garden section of Home Depot and feel that I am in some unearthly place.
Nice malts, nice caramel, smooth and mellow like a player would want it... Just a good one to have when you're feelin' good.
Ya feel me, my peeps?

Making Work Work for the Highly Sensitive Personby Barrie Jaeger
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:"A perceptive guide"--Publishers Weekly
If you feel drained and debilitated at work, or your work doesn't fulfill your creativity, you may be among the 20 percent of the population who are overwhelmed by job pressures. The Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) is often intelligent, imaginative, empathetic, and hyper-aware of surroundings. This sensitivity is part of being passionate about work. But it can also make being in the work force a painful trial. Based on cutting-edge research and extensive interviews with hundreds of HSPs, Dr. Barrie Jaeger tackles the problems and issues highly sensitive people face--including feeling overwhelmed by work pressures, overstimulation in the workplace, and lack of confidence. Building on the groundbreaking national bestseller, The Highly Sensitive Person, she explains why traditional work doesn't work for you--and what you can do about it. Dr. Jaeger provides proven strategies to find work you can embrace, not just endure, including:

Managers love to extol the virtues of a team mentality. I can't count how many schlocky motivational posters I've seen emblazoned on middle management walls (or fabric-covered cubicle dividers, as the case may be) over the years, all claiming that teamwork is pretty much the solution to everything.
And sure, I'm all about striving for the greater good of the group-but at the end of the day, team performance is rarely a factor during those year-end reviews with your boss. Which is exactly why we all work so hard to distinguish ourselves from the rest of the pack. Let's be honest-it's those special projects, great presentations, well-written articles, and everything in between that make us valuable members of the team (not to mention help us get to the next level).
Of course, this assumes you're actually getting the credit for your efforts-which, sadly, you can never assume. Whether intentional or an honest mistake, colleagues and bosses routinely take credit where it is most certainly not due, and your contributions can go unnoticed by those who matter.
To really succeed at the office, you not only need to do the work, you need to make sure your name is included in the credits. Here's how.
Go Public
In my first role as a manager, I was cautious about sharing my ideas with the group-not because I didn't have them, but because I wanted to make sure they were "good" before speaking up. So, naturally, I turned to more senior members of my team or my boss and bounced ideas off of them, first.Soon after, these same mentors and bosses shared these ideas in team meetings. Initially, I was thrilled-my ideas must be solid! But that elation lasted for only a few moments before I quickly realized that my proposal wasn't being shared-it was being hijacked. What's more, even if I had spoken up, no one would ever believe the idea was mine after a more senior member of the team had mentioned it first.
Instead of being overcome with disappointment and frustration (although trust me, I was filled with both), I turned the experience into a hard-learned lesson. The next time I had a great idea brewing, I thought through it, planned it out as if I already had buy-in from the group, and piped up to present it at the next team meeting.
Since I first shared it in a public forum, everyone was aware that the idea was mine. And, because I had put extra effort into plotting out how to implement it, my boss and colleagues were more than happy to give me credit when we eventually presented it to a larger group.
Though it might be intimidating, announcing your plans to a wider audience naturally helps prevent others from being tempted to "borrow" or "be inspired by" your ideas.
Keep a Few Tricks Up Your Sleeve
Sometimes, sharing your genius plans in a public forum isn't always possible, so you'll have to find other ways to brand your ideas as your own.For example, when I was working on a very small team that rarely had meetings, it was nearly impossible for me to get my ideas in front of decision-makers until well after I had worked through them with my boss. On more than a few occasions, after spending weeks managing a project myself and crafting a winning presentation, I was rewarded with the opportunity to watch my boss lead the meeting where it was presented, never once mentioning who had done all the work.
Finally, I decided to change my game. For every project going forward, I proceeded just as I had before, but I also did a bit of extra research. When the presentation rolled around, I had anecdotes and additional data that wasn't included in my boss' speech-and I offered them up during the meeting. By being over-prepared and anticipating additional questions, I came across as an expert on the topic, without making my boss look bad.
What's more-after I started doing this, we ended up presenting more as a team. Although it was never explicitly noted that I was behind the ideas, more and more credit began to shared equally between us.
Know When to Let it Go
While there are certainly times when I felt justified in speaking up for myself, perhaps the hardest lesson I had to learn was knowing when to just let it go. Here's the thing about getting credit: You're not going to get it for everything you do. That's just part of the job, and it's part of being on a team.I was reminded of this when I became a manager, and I had a few staff members who expected to be given credit for every positive outcome even remotely related to work they had done. I tried my best to recognize my team whenever warranted, but I found these continual "reminders" frustrating, almost always taking the shine off any positive feedback I had for them already.
While there are ways you can position yourself to help assure you'll earn that recognition from others, if you expect credit for everything you do, you'll no doubt find yourself disappointed. Save your credit-earning strength for important projects and you'll help establish yourself as not only an outstanding individual contributor, but a strong team player as well.

v2.14 Download (Windows, Linux, OSX, ARM) Contrib (GUIs; Native Kindle PDF Viewer) Help (with videos) FAQ Forum Wiki History Source Linux Install Mac Install |
ABOUT K2PDFOPT K2pdfopt (Kindle 2 PDF Optimizer) is a stand-alone program which optimizes the format of PDF (or DJVU) files for viewing on small (e.g. 6-inch) mobile reader and smartphone screens such as the Kindle's. The output from k2pdfopt is a new (optimized) PDF file. K2pdfopt is meant for text-based files on a white background which may also have graphics or figures, and it works equally well on native and/or scanned or bitmapped PDF or DJVU files. It is fully automated and can batch-process PDF/DJVU files. K2pdfopt works by converting each page of the PDF/DJVU file to a bitmap and then scanning the bitmap for viewable areas (rectangular regions) and cutting and cropping these regions and assembling them into multiple smaller pages without excess margins so that the viewing region is maximized. Making use of this method, k2pdfopt can re-flow text lines, even on scanned documents (see the Winnie the Pooh example below). You can see another example of how k2pdfopt works on this help page. As of v1.50, k2pdfopt will also embed OCR text into the PDF so that text can be searched and highlighted, and v1.60 can create output files with the native PDF instructions from the source file (if the source file is PDF). Any kind of PDF/DJVU file (best if it has a primarily white background) can be converted. K2pdfopt works especially well on two-column or multi-column PDF/DJVU files such as IEEE and other technical journal articles (see examples below--it auto-detects two-column regions on the page), but even single-column files will often be significantly improved and much easier to read (see examples). K2pdfopt has the advantage over other PDF converters in that it fully preserves the rendered PDF fonts and graphics from the original file, unlike programs that convert the PDF to an e-book format. Also, because k2pdfopt is completely independent of language or fonts, it will work equally well on documents in any language. HOW TO USE K2PDFOPT
See my k2pdfopt help page for more detailed help. Note that if you have a Kindle 2, it must have the latest firmware that allows it to view native PDF files. EXAMPLES
OTHER PDF/CONVERTING SOFTWARE If you're not getting what you want out of k2pdfopt, other utilities may be useful as alternatives to or in conjunction with k2pdfopt, but be sure to "check under the hood" of k2pdfopt--it has many options that make it useful as a generic tool to manipulate PDF files (see my k2pdfopt help pages). Similar utilities to k2pdfopt are PaperCrop (review here), PDFRead, Cut2Col (converts 2-column PDFs to 1-column using an intuitive GUI, written in Java), and SoPDF (open-source PDF-to-Sony reader app written in C++, command-line based). Cut2Col, SoPDF, and, PaperCrop (as of v0.51) all add cropping directives to the PDF file so that all of the original contents are still in the PDF file (in text form and searchable if they started that way)--they are just custom cropped on each new page. K2pdfopt now has this same native PDF output option as of v1.60. Jpdftweak is an excellent "swiss army knife" for PDF files that I use to extract or merge pages from different PDF files. Or try running k2pdfopt with the -mode copy option to optimize scanned PDFs or convert DJVU files to PDF. Briss and PDF Scissors are open-source PDF cropping apps. Calibre is a free, professional mobi-book organizer and converter. PdfMasher is a PDF text-to-mobi converter that claims to be smarter than calibre (or at least to give the user more control over the conversion). The Big List of Free Kindle Tools was posted by freewaregenius.com on 8-28-11. RECOMMENDED PDF READER: SUMATRA (Windows only) Some people are surprised to learn that Adobe Reader is not the only choice for viewing PDFs on their PC. I've tried Adobe and Foxit, but I prefer open source, and Krzysztof Kowalczyk's Sumatra PDF reader is a small, efficient, yet feature-rich open-source PDF reader that does everything I want. Sumatra also displays several file types other than PDF, including XPS, DJVU, CBZ, CBR, and PS/EPS (PS/EPS requires Ghostscript). It is a refreshing alternative to Adobe's bloatware. I highly recommend it. |

OAIster Update: More Access & No Conditions
October 30th, 2009 by RoyIn previous posts, I sought to clarify our plans for taking over the OAIster aggregation of metadata from the University of Michigan. Since then a couple key things have changed, which are being communicated to the repositories being harvested as well as to the broader community.
One of the changes is that there are no longer any "terms and conditions" regarding the metadata. In keeping with the open style of the Open Archives Initiative community, if you make your metadata available for harvesting, you must intend for it to be harvested. We will also feel free to index it, provide access to it, and allow Google to crawl it. After all, we believe that discovery and access is the whole point of opening up your metadata for harvesting. If it isn't, then all you have to do is let us know.
The other key change is that we have decided that the OAIster aggregation is an important enough destination for finding open access content that we will make it possible to search only the OAIster records on WorldCat.org, at separate web address, should you wish to do so. The records will still be integrated into the WorldCat.org database as well, and continue to be available as a separate database in FirstSearch, but there seemed to be enough interest in the OAIster aggregation as a unified database that we decided to support those uses. This will take a little time to put together, and our plan is to make it available after the first of the year.
We listened to your feedback, we carefully considered your comments, and we feel that it is important enough to get this right that we are willing to make an investment in it. We hope you feel that it is a worthy use of your resources. We do.

Ambassador Blog (Dave Mangione) Show in Ohio
I have had the pleasure of raising rabbits since 1966. I have seen several stress conditions for the animals, both cold and hot. The upcoming week mirrors the summer of 1980 when we had very high temperatures for several weeks.
Heat has been the major challenge to all of Rabbit Farms in the Mid-west. I will share with you some procedures I have found to be helpful to our animals.
In the barns we must maintain air movement, the use of small "box fans" from the local stores are the most used method. These are helpful, but you must place directly under the cage or over the top of the cage. Do not put directly on the rabbit, as it can cause colds, by blowing directly on the animal. Be sure to do maintenance on these fans regularly. During the summer you will have a certain amount of loose hair, and cob webs are floating around. The back side of your fan needs to be cleaned weekly, and check the back of the motor for buildup of hair and clean it off. We use large fans in the barn with sealed motors; with this high heat we have also added small fans to move the air in the doe and litter rows.The best solution to heat in the barns I have found is soaker hoses. We use the flat soaker hose, usually green with white stripes. We have A-frame roofs on the barns, so I clamp the hose so it sprays out on top of the roof to cool the metal roof. We have a deep well on the farm, and the water is very cool and runs over the roof to cool the barn. I usually use these on days when the air temperature is over 97 degrees. For those of you than can't be there to turn on the water at 12 noon and off at 7 p.m., get a water timer, they work great. The runoff water is never wasted, as I plant tomatoes along the edge of the barns. I have a lot of breeders that freeze two liter soda bottles for ice. You can put these in your rabbits cage and it helps cool the animals. Shade is still your most important item to have when raising rabbits; if you use outside cages or a building; shade trees are a very valuable asset in these Missouri Summers.
Feed and storage of feed is a very important aspect of your project. With the heat of summer we hear the words as heat index and dew point of the air. Store bags in a dry area, rotate your stock and use the older bags first. When feeding your rabbits, feed only what they will eat in a twenty four hour period. During the heat problems we are facing I feed early in the morning when the rabbits are moving about and ready to eat. Do not full feed rabbits at any time, the feed will draw dampness and will be spoiled. One exception to this rule is does and litters, keep feed before them, but check the feeders daily. The New Feed Bags from Purina Mills are designed to keep the buildup of moisture from your feed. The new bags are made of a fiber type construction which allows the feed to "breathe". If you use crocks or J bin feeders, check them daily for any buildup of feed.
Heat and Humidity can be deadly for does and litters in these stressful times. If you have does due now, watch them carefully. When a doe goes to kindle, the stress will raise their body core temperature, which leads to heat exhaustion and death. Keep the doe as cool as possible and have an open top nest box for them to kindle in. I put wood chips only in the bottom of the nest box this time of the year. When the Doe litters and pulls a lot of fur, remove as much as possible to keep the babies cool. We like wire nest boxes during the summer. If you have babies just coming out of the box in this heat, then turn the box on its side so the babies can access the box and still come out on the wire floor for air circulation. The kits can easily overheat in the box as the fan air cannot reach these little guys.
In the Missouri Summers, heat and humidity can equal sore hocks on the best of your animals. We use the plastic resting mats sold by most of the Equipment dealers, they stay dry and give the rabbit's a place to get off the wire. Litters and the stress of the summer can run a doe down and cause sore hocks to crop up. Generally you can just put a matt in or a piece of drywall and they will heal up. Again I can't say it enough, keep the cage floor dry.
Transporting Rabbits in the summer is another challenge we all face. We do take our animals in an air conditioned van, but when this is not possible, be very careful. When you load your rabbits in their carriers do not pack them tightly. Allow plenty of room to transport. Air circulation and movement is a must. The little fans used in the vehicles, plugged into the power outlet in the dash. Again frozen two liter bottles of ice help "cool the buns". When traveling on the road, provide water at all times and check your rabbits often for their safety.
There will be times when you may need to do "First Aid" for the heat. A rabbit does not pant as a cat or dog. They sweat though their ears. This is their only cooling mode. You can put cool water or a cool cloth on their ears to help them out. Do not pour cold water on the head as this could cause severe shock.
2011 is projected to be an extreme long hot run of days. Rabbits are very tough, but day after day will take its toll. Keep them comfortable as possible and check on them often. It won't be long we will be enjoyingFrozen water crocks and subzero temperatures.
Please be safe this week, 115 heat index is not to be taken lightly. It's time to check the herd again, until next time; we care about you and your rabbits at Purina.
