How big is the clean fuel production opportunity we are turning on? Let's just say it's large. Big Bang large. We encourage you to learn about the mixed alcohol chemistry set, the fuel, the patents, and the synthesis process technology, and compare it to the underperforming processes of today's biofuel contenders very carefully. And don't forget to look at what's in your local landfill, or the overgrown, unhealthy beetle-kill trees in the forests if you live in the Rockies.
With time and a little study you'll begin to understand how big this clean fuel opportunity is. Or do like most people are going to do: refuse to believe any claims until the fuel actually gets produced and you can buy and use it.
For 10 years E4™ ENVIROLENE® has been a sleeper. A dark horse in the biofuels race. But with the current leaders in the biofuels race growing tired, it's poised to move up fast on the inside. It's got legs. The ability to convert ANY carbon value into clean, powerful, market-ready fuel, whether derived from trash, biomass, sewer sludge, toxic and hazardous wastes, tires, coal, petroleum coke, methane or CO2 is a clear advantage.
No other fuel or fuel production technology can do this.
What about Methanol? Nope, not powerful enough. Cellulosic ethanol? Nope, not scalable enough. Algae, nope. Corn ethanol? Uh, definitely not, we need the food grains. Biodiesel from waste greases and fats? Won't scale either, and like corn ethanol requires a subsidy to produce. Fischer-Tropsch syndiesel from coal? Definitely not competitive, and it's a float-on-water oil so it's inherently dirty.
No other company's fuel method converts any solid, liquid or gaseous carbon to clean higher mixed alcohol fuel that is:
- Water soluble, coal soluble, and biodegradable
- EPA registration approved for blending and use in gasoline and diesel engines in all 50 states
- 138 octane rating
- Cleanly produced at near zero process emissions
- Made near you by your neighbors
- Profitable without government subsidies
- Environmentally responsible
- Made from solid and liquid carbon wastes, biomass, coal, methane and CO2
When is E4™ ENVIROLENE® going to be produced and for sale? Within 24-36 months of funding our first project.
Soon enough for you? You've been waiting for a game changer, America. well here it is.
Help us light the fuse on this renewable fuel racehorse.

10 Best Vehicles for the End of the World
Nuclear winter. Worldwide economic collapse. Zombie takeover. We all have a favorite apocalyptic situation that we occasionally find ourselves pondering. One very important question: What vehicle do you want as your trusty steed?
By James Tate
Toyota Hilux, Fourth Generation
If you find yourself overseas when the bomb goes off or the dead rise to feast on the living, buy the first Hilux you can lay your eyes on. The 1984 to 1989 model-year Toyotas (sold under the supremely uncreative moniker of Pickup here in the U.S.) have proved to be some of the most willful runners ever made. When people rise up and dictators fall, the Hilux is there. Pay attention to news footage of war zones the world overthe Hilux is the field horse of the 20th and now the 21st centuries. This is especially true on the African continent; the fourth-generation Hilux was manufactured in South Africa until 1997, meaning there are plenty to go around, so you can get cheap, reliable transport with parts galore. If you can find a 1986 or later, snag a four-wheel-drive model with the transfer case. You never know.

DOUBLE SPEAK: Pamela Golbin, chief curator of fashion and textiles at Les Arts Décoratifs, will be outnumbered this spring when she returns to the French Institute Alliance Française for her next round of Fashion Talks.
That's because she's chosen a couple of designing duos. Humberto Leon and Carol Lim, founders of Opening Ceremony and creative directors of Kenzo, kick off the series at Florence Gould Hall in New York on March 14 with Isabel and Ruben Toledo doing the honors on March 18. Indian-born designer Naeem Khan will be solo for his talk on March 27.
Golbin notes that what unites the five American designers "is that they have all successfully launched their own independent brands."

- 0Jun 29, '12 by CrazedDoes anyone like their uniform? I find my uniform top to be one of the most uncomfortable and unflattering things ever made.
Seriously I look like a love seat in the thing.
- 0Jun 29, '12 by >JustBreathe<I love our uniforms. Scrubs are nice and comfy. We have black Dickies pants and a red Dickies top with the school embroidery. I think they're great, I don't mind them at all.
- 2Jun 29, '12 by StephalumpI hate ours. We have weird uniform pants that are completely unflattering.
Who puts a seem in the front of pants, and why turquoise? So we can draw more attention to the hideousness? Our top is just a plain white scrub top, at least.
- 3Jun 29, '12 by SentimentalGeek, ADN, RNOurs are a plain v-neck scrub top in hunter green (Cherokee brand) and any white pants without cargo pockets. I'm going to miss my cargo pockets!
Not terrible, but not looking forward to having white pants on during my monthly visit from Aunt Flo...
- 2Jun 29, '12 by DisneyNurseGal, BSN, RNWe get to wear any brand, any style as long as they are Navy Blue. We also have to have our school patches sewn onto the sleeves. I HATE navy blue, but after reading what everyone else has, maybe I should be grateful
- 1Jun 29, '12 by >JustBreathe<At our school the RN students wear black pants and the VN students wear white pants. Aunt Flo is this very reason I'm glad I got into the RN program and didn't have to bother applying for VN next year.
- 0Jun 29, '12 by WorkingTowardsBSNWe can get any black scrub pants we want, but have to buy our scrub top from them (also black but has a red piping around the neckline). I actually like the top... from a distance. There is a seam that goes RIGHT across your breasts. Not under, just across. It could be so much worse, but man that seam makes me crazy! We also have to get patches for our sleeves and lab coat sleeve.

Mileage to date: 21,360
Months in fleet: Nine
Our smooth-driving, long-legged Four Seasons Volkswagen Jetta TDI has left Michigan, but thankfully not for good - it's currently in New York for a summer fling with senior editor Joe Lorio and NY bureau chief Jamie Kitman.
Before the Jetta headed east, several Ann Arbor-based staff members weighed in on their feelings three-quarters of the way through our year with our first-ever diesel long-term car.
Assistant editor David Zenlea, perhaps the biggest fan of the TDI, drove the Jetta to Chicago in June to visit his folks. "I started out my trip with the intent of hypermiling and seeing how high the TDI could go in terms of miles per gallon," he wrote in the VW's logbook. "Of course, I soon got bored/annoyed with this idea, because it involves going slow and accelerating even slower, and I soon relapsed into my normal, mildly aggressive driving style. I should add that to get the most out of the Jetta in the suburbs, you can't be shy--you have to get on it and short shift into second and third. Still, I averaged an indicated 43.6 mpg for the whole trip."
That impressive mileage led senior Web editor Phil Floraday to reacquaint himself with our Jetta. He wrote: "I felt compelled to spend a night in the frugal, slow, Spartan confines of the Jetta TDI after a weekend of fun in the Chevy Camaro SS and a night with the Aston Martin DB9 Volante. I'm surely headed to hydrocarbon hell if I keep selecting cars with double or triple the cylinder count of the Jetta, so I'll try to do a little atoning now.
"Actually," Floraday continued, "a four-cylinder Jetta TDI isn't a bad place to spend some time. If this were my car, though, it'd be a wagon and have the DSG dual-clutch automatic. I much prefer the DSG to our manual since this TDI has so little horsepower. You really need to drop a gear or three for passing, and I'll readily admit to being too lazy for the frequent up- and downshifts required to hustle along the two-lane roads on my commute."
It seems that our new associate editor Eric Tingwall would also prefer the DSG: "I'm glad to see that others have moaned about this clutch. I stalled at two out of my first three traffic lights and then on a hill this morning--twice. There's absolutely no feel in the pedal, and even when I manage a perfectly smooth take-off, I'm not quite sure where the clutch engages or how I pulled it off. Frustrating."
Executive editor Joe DeMatio chimed in with some wisdom about the bigger picture, though, writing, "The Jetta was a nice car for a lazy Sunday afternoon drive through the country. Perfectly reasonable body control, decent steering feel, good ride comfort; really, I have no complaints. Sure, you learn to keep the revs up, especially when you're launching from an intersection, but overall it's a very tractable powertrain."
And as Jablansky noted during his trek from Michigan to New York, that powertrain is fantastic for long journeys. "After 750 miles, I'd only stopped once and still had half a tank left," he scrawled in the logbook. "On the same trip, our frugal Four Seasons Honda Fit required three stops."

The third case is where a dual relation between the sign and its object is degenerate and consists in a mere resemblance between them. I call a sign which stands for something merely because it resembles it, an icon. Icons are so completely substituted for their objects as hardly to be distinguished from them. Such are the diagrams of geometry. A diagram, indeed, so far as it has a general signification, is not a pure icon; but in the middle part of our reasonings we forget that abstractness in great measure, and the diagram is for us the very thing. So in contemplating a painting, there is a moment when we lose the consciousness that it is not the thing, the distinction of the real and the copy disappears, and it is for the moment a pure dream, - not any particular existence, and yet not general. At that moment we are contemplating an icon.
There may be a mere relation of reason between the sign and the thing signified; in that case the sign is an icon. Or there may be a direct physical connection; in that case, the sign is an index. Or there may be a relation which consists in the fact that the mind associates the sign with its object; in that case the sign is a name.
One very important triad is this: it has been found that there are three kinds of signs which are all indispensable in all reasoning; the first is the diagrammatic sign or icon, which exhibits a similarity or analogy to the subject of discourse; the second is the index, which like a pronoun demonstrative or relative, forces the attention to the particular object intended without describing it; the third is the general name or description which signifies its object by means of an association of ideas or habitual connection between the name and the character signified.
A Sign degenerate in the greater degree is an Originalian Sign, or Icon, which is a Sign whose significant virtue is due simply to its Quality. Such, for example, are imaginations of how I would act under certain circumstances, as showing me how another man would be likely to act. We say that the portrait of a person we have not seen is convincing. So far as, on the ground merely of what I see in it, I am led to form an idea of the person it represents, it is an Icon. But, in fact, it is not a pure Icon, because I am greatly influenced by knowing that it is an effect, through the artist, caused by the original's appearance, and is thus in a genuine Obsistent relation to that original. Besides, I know that portraits have but the slightest resemblance to their originals, except in certain conventional respects, and after a conventional scale of values, etc.
An icon is a representamen which fulfills the function of a representamen by virtue of a character which it possesses in itself, and would possess just the same though its object did not exist. Thus, the statue of a centaur is not, it is true, a representamen if there be no such thing as a centaur. Still, if it represents a centaur, it is by virtue of its shape; and this shape it will have, just as much, whether there be a centaur or not.
…there are three kinds of signs. The first kind consists of Icons, which like all signs are such only by virtue of being interpreted as such, but whose significant character which causes them to be so interpreted is their possessing a quality, in consequence of which they may be taken as representative of anything that may happen to exists that has that quality. Of course there are no signs that are exclusively iconic. But a geometrical diagram, for example, represents, say, a triangle, simply because it is like it.
An Icon […] is strictly a possibility, involving a possibility, and thus the possibility of its being represented as a possibility is the possibility of the involved possibility. In this kind of Representamen alone, then, the Interpretant may be the Object.
… the Icon may undoubtedly be divided according to the categories; but the mere completeness of the notion of the icon does not imperatively call for any such division. For a pure icon does not draw any distinction between itself and its object. It represents whatever it may represent, and whatever it is like, it in so far is. It is an affair of suchness only.
An Icon is a sign which refers to the Object that it denotes merely by virtue of characters of its own and which it possesses, just the same, whether any such Object actually exists or not. It is true that unless there really is such an Object, the Icon does not act [as] a sign; but this has nothing to do with its character as a sign. Anything whatever, be it quality, existent individual, or law, is an icon of anything, in so far as it is like that thing and used as a sign of it.
An Icon is a Representamen whose Representative Quality is a Firstness of it as a First. That is, a quality that it has qua thing renders it fit to be a representamen. Thus, anything is fit to be a Substitute for anything that it is like. (The conception of "substitute" involves that of a purpose, and thus of genuine thirdness.) Whether there are other kinds of substitutes or not we shall see. A Representamen by Firstness alone can only have a similar Object. Thus, a Sign by Contrast denotes its object only by virtue of a contrast, or Secondness, between two qualities. A sign by Firstness is an image of its object and, more strictly speaking, can only be an idea. For it must produce an Interpretant idea; and an external object excites an idea by a reaction upon the brain. But most strictly speaking, even an idea, except in the sense of a possibility, or Firstness, cannot be an Icon. A possibility alone is an Icon purely by virtue of its quality; and its object can only be a Firstness.
An icon is a representamen of what it represents and for the mind that interprets it as such, by virtue of its being an immediate image, that is to say by virtue of characters which belong to it in itself as a sensible object, and which it would possess just the same were there no object in nature that it resembled, and though it never were interpreted as a sign. It is of the nature of an appearance, and as such, strictly speaking, exists only in consciousness, although for convenience in ordinary parlance and when extreme precision is not called for, we extend the term icon to the outward objects which excite in consciousness the image itself. A geometrical diagram is a good example of an icon. A pure icon can convey no positive or factual information; for it affords no assurance that there is any such thing in nature. But it is of the utmost value for enabling its interpreter to study what would be the character of such an object in case any such did exist. Geometry sufficiently illustrates that.
In respect to their relations to their dynamic objects, I divide signs into Icons, Indices, and Symbols (a division I gave in 1867). I define an Icon as a sign which is determined by its dynamic object by virtue of its own internal nature. Such is any qualisign, like a vision, - or the sentiment excited by a piece of music considered as representing what the composer intended. Such may be a sinsign, like an individual diagram; say a curve of the distribution of errors.
… an analysis of the essence of a sign, (stretching that word to its widest limits, as anything which, being determined by an object, determines an interpretation to determination, through it, by the same object), leads to a proof that every sign is determined by its object, either first, by partaking in the characters of the object, when I call the sign an Icon; secondly, by being really and in its individual existence connected with the individual object, when I call the sign an Index; thirdly, by more or less approximate certainty that it will be interpreted as denoting the object, in consequence of a habit (which term I use as including a natural disposition), when I call the sign a Symbol.
… I had observed that the most frequently useful division of signs is by trichotomy into firstly Likenesses, or, as I prefer to say, Icons, which serve to represent their objects only in so far as they resemble them in themselves; secondly, Indices, which represent their objects independently of any resemblance to them, only by virtue of real connections with them, and thirdly Symbols, which represent their objects, independently alike of any resemblance or any real connection, because dispositions or factitious habits of their interpreters insure their being so understood.

Child Protective Services takes new approach to keep kids safeon February 10, 2014 @ 4:07 pm (Updated: 4:39 pm - 2/10/14 )
Washington state's Child Protective Services agency is taking a new approach to make sure no children go under the radar when it comes to abuse or neglect.
There's a revolution happening right now in the way that we care for kids who are at risk of being neglected or abused. It involves getting rid of the "one size fits all" model of child abuse investigations.
The Department of Social and Health Services has begun integrating the Family Assessment Response Program across the state.
"It is a CPS response, but it's a very different way of responding when we get a call alleging abuse or neglect," says Jennifer Struss, Assistant Secretary for the Children's Administration.
Rather than sending every incoming case to an investigator, some of the less serious cases are now being treated by a FAR manager.
FAR workers try to identify a family's strengths and asks the parents where they think they could use a little extra help.
"In a traditional CPS investigation, it's much more adversarial," Struss says.
They still have certain requirements, like meeting face to face with the child, but in FAR they don't have to meet with the child alone, or as quickly. They are also focused on building a safety plan with the parents while the child remains at home.
Because there's no forensic investigation into a particular incident of abuse, the social workers can take a softer approach which benefits everyone in the end.
"Kids are nervous. They think they're going to get their parents in trouble," says Struss. "The approach to FAR is so different, people feel more comfortable talking openly about. These are the issues we're struggling with."
She says the idea for FAR came from differential response programs that have been put into place in a few other states like Minnesota. It's also backed by the American Humane Association.
The response uses a series of questions to assess the child's risk of harm and the family's ability to keep them safe.
If the family is screened into FAR, the case manager tries to keep the conversation positive. The premise is that every parent really wants to do what's best for their child.
"We don't show up unannounced. We ask them when would be a good time to meet with them. It is a strength-based assessment. We look at, what are their strengths? What can we build on to help them to address the issues that brought them to our attention?" says Struss.
The legislature passed a bill in 2012 requiring the Department of Social and Health Services to integrate the FAR program. Since then, Struss says they've been working hard with other community organizations to make it happen.
The case workers handling these new types of cases have undergone special training, and they're working on a lower caseload right now as they get up to speed.
It will take another two-and-a-half years before the entire CPS system uses the differentiated response system.
Struss says the biggest changes other states have seen with differentiated response is fewer kids being re-referred to CPS and fewer kids in foster care.
"We wouldn't do it if it weren't going to help the kids. The best thing you can do, if you can manage it and keep kids safe, is keep kids with their families," says Struss.
For now, FAR is up and running in Aberdeen, Lynnwood and in two zip codes in Spokane. More state offices will come online this summer.

Best Black Friday 2012 electronics deals
No matter where you live, you are probably aware that the day after the Thanksgiving holiday in the U.S. is dubbed Black Friday. Prices are slashed, early alarms are set, and it's a full day of shopping insanity. What you may not know is that retailers spend the previous week "accidentally" leaking their deals. Let's take a look at some of the biggest and best Black Friday deals of 2012. Read More
2012 Game Console Comparison Guide
When opening gifts, there's nothing quite like receiving a gaming system. After peeling back the wrapping, visions of epic battles, bouncy plumbers, and buzzer-beating shots dance through your head. If you want to create that exhilaration this year, you have a couple of familiar options, and several new ones. Let's take a look at the top game consoles for the 2012 shopping season. Read More
Sony unveils new smaller and lighter PS3 model
At this year's Tokyo Game Show, Sony unveiled its latest iteration of PlayStation 3, which sports a new design and significantly smaller form factor. The console will be produced in three versions: a 500 GB hard drive model, a 250 GB hard drive model, and a budget-friendly 12 GB flash memory model, though the latter is initially slated for European consumers only.

Four innovative new games revealed at Gamescom 2012
The largest annual video game trade show in Germany, Gamescom 2012, kicked off recently with dozens of publishers and developers presenting what they have in store for the coming year. Sadly, since it's only been two scant months since E3, most game companies in attendance don't have many surprises to reveal aside from additional features for some already-known titles. Luckily, that just gives some developers a chance to show off their projects that don't fit into the usual shooter, RPG, racing and dance categories. Here are a few titles revealed at Gamescom 2012 that are poised to change the way games are played. Read More
It's been a strangely long time coming, but the PS3 is finally getting a dedicated YouTube app. While PS3 owners have previously been forced to access their favorite LOLcats YouTube videos via the PS3's included web browser, the new free app has been designed specifically for viewing on a big screen TV and optimized for use with PS3 controls to provide a more user-friendly experience.

Handheld games consoles such as the impressive PS Vita, though still popular, are in danger of being sidelined by increasingly capable smartphones and the games that are available to play on them. There is one problem with this transition however: the control system on touchscreen phones and tablets leaves a lot to be desired. Which is where GameKlip enters in to the equation. Read More
Drawn from a pool of over 400,000 who had competed for a spot through Gran Turismo 5, 32 virtual racers battled it out this week at Jolt'n Joe's Restaurant in San Diego in the GT Academy North American finals. The top 16 will now move onto the final phase of the competition at Silverstone racing circuit in the U.K., where they'll no doubt be looking to emulate the success of 2008 GT Academy winner Lucas Ordoñez.

Sony has unveiled its new Wonderbook Augmented Reality PlayStation 3 peripheral at E3. The folding, book-like device is an Augmented Reality pad that works in conjunction with the PlayStation 3, PlayStation Eye and PlayStation Move motion controller to render superimposed computer graphics over the image of the Wonderbook and user on the TV. Targeted as an educational tool for children, the device will launch with J.K. Rowling's Book of Spells. Read More
The 2012 Game Developers Conference is in full swing right now, with video game companies clamoring to show off their newest tech. But while there are plenty of impressive demos of the latest in graphics software, none have stood out quite as much as Quantic Dream's short film showing off its innovative motion capture technology. Aside from an expertly crafted narrative, the seven-minute video, titled KARA, shows one of the most powerful performances from a virtual character to date, which is even more extraordinary given the fact that each jaw-dropping frame is rendered in real-time on a PlayStation 3.

This Valentine's Day won't just mark the time of year when people the world over scramble for heart-shaped candy and restaurant reservations – it's also the release date for the highly-anticipated Twisted Metal video game on the Playstation 3. The game features crazy vehicles decked out with weapons all trying to destroy each other, so what better way to promote the occasion than by unloading a machine gun into an ice cream truck like one featured in the game? Rather than just doing it themselves, however, the promoters of the game have set up ShootMyTruck.com, a website that will let users take a shot at the truck remotely using their computers. Read More

Amazon River Cruise
Experience one of the greatest voyages in natural history as you navigate more than 500 miles of the Amazon and its tributaries.
Tour Details
This trip was exactly what we were looking for - a good introduction to the nature, history and culture of the Amazon Basin in Peru. It served to whet our appetite for more explorations into the vibrant, colorful watery jungles of the Amazon."
Barbara T.
We loved the naturalists, the crew, the local food, and are convinced the boat was the best on the Amazon. We learned so much about the natural environment, had new experiences (I caught my first fish - 3 piranhas!), swam in an amazon tributary and identified over 130 birds and participated in a shaman ceremony. Our fellow travelers were interesting and we enjoyed meeting the Ribeneros along the rivers. Truly an unforgettable experience!"
Carol M.
The enthusiasm and knowledge of nature guides was second to none. They truly cared."
Dave R.
One of our best trips ever!"

JOHNSON CITY, N.Y. -- David Smith, a long-time Johnson City police officer, was shot and killed with his service weapon Monday morning near UHS Wilson Medical Center shortly after starting his 6:45 a.m. shift.
Binghamton and Johnson City Police Chief Joseph Zikuski said James Clark, 43 of Greene, wrestled Smith's service gun away from him, shot him, and Smith fell to the ground. Clark then shot Smith again.
"Officer Smith was a good police officer for the Village of Johnson City for 18 1/2 years," Zikuski said. "He is going to be deeply missed by his family and his comrades."
Another responding officer confronted Clark shortly afterward, and shot him. Clark later died of his injuries at UHS Wilson at 10:22 a.m.
Authorities from the New York State Police and other agencies are at Clark's home at 132 Turner Street in Greene as of 2 p.m. Monday.
Smith responded to UHS Wilson after reports that Clark was making threats outside of the hospital, Zikuski said.
Zikuski said at this point, authorities do not know a motive for Clark's actions.
Clark worked as an MRI technician at Southern Tier Imaging.
According to hospital officials, all patients and staff are safe. As a result of the ongoing investigation, portions of the hospital will remain closed for the rest of the day. In addition, Harrison Street and Hudson Street near the hospital are also expected to be closed for the rest of the day.
Timeline of Events7:03 a.m.: Police receive call for disturbance at 32 Harrison St., near UHS Wilson Medical Center.
7:06 a.m.: Call goes out for shots fired.
Shortly after, police determined Clark came out of Southern Tier waving his hands in the air, but was inaudible, according to witnesses.
Smith was preparing to exit his vehicle and open the car door and the suspect immediately attacked him and punched him several times as he was trying to exit the vehicle.
Witness said Clark reached into Smith's car and struggled to get Smith's service weapon out of the holster.
As the struggle continued Smith was able to get out of the car, but the suspect gained control of the gun and he shot Smith.
Once Smith was down the suspect then shot him another time.
When another responding officer coming to Smith's aid, Clark saw him turned around and fired upon him. Police say the Johnson City Officer fired upon Clark and shot him. Clark died at UHS Wilson at 10:22 a.m.
Source: Police Chief Joseph Zikuski
Autopsies are being performed Monday and toxicology will take a couple weeks to come back.
There will be another press conference once funeral arraignments are made.
Zikuski says the police department is helping the family through this difficult time offering support.
The physicians and staff of Southern Tier Imaging are shocked and saddened by the tragic events that took place this morning. Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims of this senseless act and we would like to express our heartfelt condolences to Officer David Smith and his family. We have been cooperating with the Village of Johnson City Police Department and will continue to work closely with them and all others involved in the ongoing investigation of this incident.

[ALBU_HUMAN] Defects in ALB are a cause of familial dysalbuminemic hyperthyroxinemia (FDH) [MIM:103600]. FDH is a form of euthyroid hyperthyroxinemia that is due to increased affinity of ALB for T(4). It is the most common cause of inherited euthyroid hyperthyroxinemia in Caucasian population.[1] [2] [3] [4]
[ALBU_HUMAN] Serum albumin, the main protein of plasma, has a good binding capacity for water, Ca(2+), Na(+), K(+), fatty acids, hormones, bilirubin and drugs. Its main function is the regulation of the colloidal osmotic pressure of blood. Major zinc transporter in plasma, typically binds about 80% of all plasma zinc.[5]
CheckConSurfDB. You may read the explanation of the method and the full data available from ConSurf.
Human serum albumin (HSA) is the most abundant protein in the circulatory system. Its principal function is to transport fatty acids, but it is also capable of binding a great variety of metabolites and drugs. Despite intensive efforts, the detailed structural basis of fatty acid binding to HSA has remained elusive. We have now determined the crystal structure of HSA complexed with five molecules of myristate at 2.5 A resolution. The fatty acid molecules bind in long, hydrophobic pockets capped by polar side chains, many of which are basic. These pockets are distributed asymmetrically throughout the HSA molecule, despite its symmetrical repeating domain structure.
Crystal structure of human serum albumin complexed with fatty acid reveals an asymmetric distribution of binding sites.,Curry S, Mandelkow H, Brick P, Franks N Nat Struct Biol. 1998 Sep;5(9):827-35. PMID:9731778[6]

text: 4 Very Good RPG but....CptEddyPrice | 30/05/2012 | See all CptEddyPrice's reviews (11)I've managed to defeat the dragon and I thought It would be the end but... ( I'm not going to spoil anything ). You main job is to either kill the dragon or to sacrifice someone to bring peace to the world. Well its story starts really fast and nice but then you lost track of it by doing side missions because you rarely know which is the main story quest.Graphically game looks very good with occasional blurry textures and tree bushes or magic tornadoes blocking your view. Sometimes its annoying when you are in battle. Few very nice touches, when you wear helmet in the city you will have it opened. But when you venture outside then your helmet will be closed. Game physics and animations looks very convincing and smooth. But sometimes game slow down especially when saving. Ah, and you can have ONLY one Save slot ( which is design flaw ). And it adds a little bit difficulty.Game world seems big at first glance but its smaller than Skyrim's. Most of it is surrounded by water and you can't swim because monster will toss you away on random beach lol.Combat system is a combination of Dark Souls, Monster Hunter and dynasty warriors. So we have a bit of button mashing and a bit of tactical action ( waiting for the opportunity to attack ) and Skill system which is very good. You can have 6 active skill ( Warriors only 3 ) but they are usually very powerful and entertaining to watch :) .Pawns ( your AI comrades ) can be a bit dumb at times and are rarely helpful. You will find yourself pressing left or right on the D pad ( for Help ) to get them to heal you or buff . My pawns died so many times while I still had at least half of HP. It seems they learn VERY slowly. But with higher level and better knowledge they will dodge and cast right spells. So later on they improve a bit.Difficulty in this game isn't scaled to your level. So sometimes you will just avoid certain enemies until you find some better equipment or level up. And this can be annoying because it will involve loads of Backtracking to the places you've visited. Yep, and even teleportation cost a lot. And even then you can't teleport anywhere but only to the "Stone portal". I've saved up around 400 k gold to get myself griffin armor and a decent two-handed sword plus I bought some stuff for my pawn. But later on I've found really good equipment but I couldn't afford it since single sword ( at the end of the game ) can cost over one milion gold. And materials you can gather are used to improve weapons and armor not to craft them lol.Well overall its a very good game with great combat and atmospheric dungeons ( but there are few of them :( few things however are missing that's why I give it only 4 stars. Because apart from questing and fighting there isn't much to do in the game. You can't farm or you can't even romance ( well you can give gifts to people to increase their affinity ). And the world map is small... I've killed the dragon after maybe 16-18 hours in the game and in the end it turns out that it's better to level up to at least lvl 80... because stuff that awaits after defeating the dragon.... is just beyond description.

In the News
Clinical/community psychologist Elena Quintana, Ph.D., Executive Director of the Adler School Institute on Public Safety and Social Exclusion, joined StoryCorps founder David Isay on Chicago's WBEZ-FM for a live discussion on the dynamics and impact when family members engage with one another in story-telling about their life experiences.
StoryCorps is a national project that has collected and archived more than 45,000 interviews with nearly 90,000 participants. The conversations are aired on public radio, and preserved at the American Folklife Center at the Library of Congress.
In the interview with WBEZ "Afternoon Shift" host Naila Boodhoo, Dr. Quintana emphasized the importance of entering into family conversations and storytelling with an open heart and with understanding that different experiences shape family members' lives and perspectives.
Isay concurred with Dr. Quintana's insights on family impact, and called the project a massive social experiment, in a way, that has led people "to a closer place"

Merrill Edge New Account Setup
Opening a Merrill Edge account is easy, involving the usual filling out of forms on line and then a quick "Yes or No" decision regarding approval of your account. The problem comes in getting the first deposit into the account. Where most on-line brokers ask for the routing number and account number of a checking or savings account for funding, Merrill Edge account holders are not afforded this convenience. Merrill Edge would rather have you fill out a paper form that authorizes the future transfers of funds between listed bank accounts and the newly opened Merrill Edge account. This fact is not revealed to the account holder until the account is fully opened, however. This new account funding process is not exactly state of the art and has the effect of causing a delay in the end goal: funding the account and buying securities. Merrill Edge needs to move to a system of confirming an account by making two small deposits and then receiving a confirmation from the account holder. Nearly every other financial institution these days uses this method to everyone's satisfaction.
Once the funding paperwork has finally been forwarded to the offices of Merrill Edge, moving money into and out of the brokerage account is very easy. If the account holder has a cash balance in the account, a Merrill Edge debit card can be used to withdraw funds directly from the account wherever VISA cards are accepted worldwide. Check writing against a cash balance is also offered to Merrill Edge account holders. Securities can be sold to raise additional amounts of cash for withdrawal, but funding with an equity or mutual fund sale requires a number of days for the cash to "settle" before it becomes available for withdrawal.
MerrillEdge.com Website/Trading Platform/Tools Review
The MerrillEdge.com website looks very good at first glance. Sadly, in reality it's cluttered with lots of useless images and huge sections of "fine print" at the bottom. The navigation is not well-thought-out, and it's often hard to find what you are looking for.
The trading tools available are very basic, not offering a lot of functionality (for example, advanced order types) that can be found with most other online brokers. Changing existing orders on a Merrill Edge trading screens is downright painful.
Merrill Edge does offer a Market Pro application which is a full-screen trading platform designed to give a more active trader the means to take full control of their investments. Merrill Edge Market Pro is a highly customizable application to view movements of various investments in real time. This is advantageous for the high-volume trader, since price quotes on the other screens could be delayed up to 20 minutes.
New to Market Pro is the Technical Insight tool which helps you locate patterns in individual investments based on bullish or bearish technical events. Also included is the Strategy Builder tool which allows you to screen investments based on a whole host of metrics. Active day traders may employ the Intraday Trader tool to receive alerts as technical signals are triggered throughout the day.
There are apps available for most major hand-held devices: iPad, iPhone, Android, and Blackberry.
Merrill Edge / Merrill Lynch Pros
Free trades if the account meets certain conditions
Good banking services including a free checking account
Good research tools
Free DRIP (dividend reinvestment, but you must call customer support to set it up)
Merrill Edge / Merrill Lynch Cons
Limited, poorly designed trading tools and charts
Terrible trade execution
Technical issues (unusable login cards, website going down, etc.)
Customer service complaints
Poor selection of investments
High margin rates
Mutual funds subject to self-directed short-term redemption fee of $39.95 if held less than 90 days
Merrill Edge Review Summary
Merrill Edge is new self directed brokerage created by Merrill Lynch, which is now owned by Bank of America. The company charges $6.95 per trade for stocks and ETFs. It also offers 30 free trades per month for customers who meet any one of the following criteria:
1. Maintain total combined balances of $25,000 or more in your Bank of America deposit accounts: checking, savings, FDIC-insured CDs or FDIC-insured IRAs.
2. Maintain total combined balances of $25,000 or more in cash balances in your Merrill Edge self-directed account(s): Bank Deposit Accounts sweep option with your Merrill Edge Investment Account or Retirement Assets Savings Program (RASP) sweep with your IRA.
3. Qualify for the Platinum Privileges program, which requires that you have an active Bank of America personal checking account and maintain at least $50,000 as a combined balance in your Bank of America deposit accounts and/or your Merrill Edge brokerage accounts.
We don't see how a brokerage firm could make any money with these free trades. We believe this is the same marketing trick that Zecco used to grow customer base. The firm then dumped its free trades once it had enough clients.
Merrill Edge's standard commissions are about average in the industry, and much better than the hefty $30 per trade charged by Merrill Lynch's old brokerage.
The internet is full of complaints from Merrill Edge's customers on the whole range of issues: trading tools bugs, defective login cards (SafePass cards), website going down, mutual funds availability, order executions and customer service.
We don't recommend opening an account at Merrill Edge. There are
Top Rated Brokerage Companies
that have fewer problems while offering better trading tools and more free features to their customers.

McGrane, Elson lead at rainy Joburg Open
JOHANNESBURG — Ireland's Damien McGrane and England's Jamie Elson each shot an 8-under 63 to share the lead in the rainy first round at the Joburg Open on Thursday.
Nearly half the field, including defending champion Charl Schwartzel, failed to complete their rounds because of a four-hour rain delay at the Royal Johannesburg and Kensington Golf Club.
South Africa's Desvonde Botes was part of a three-way tie for third after a 65 on the East Course. He was tied with Reinier Saxton of the Netherlands and Peter Karmis of South Africa, who each shot 64 on the West Course.
Retief Goosen had a 66 on the West Course.

Why online communities benefit from our desire to be heard
Over the last couple of days we've been posting about how people behave in social networks, whether Facebook is a digital antidepressant and if we tell the truth in social networks. As human beings we want to be heard, we want our opinions to have an audience; we want people to respect us.
Online it is easy for us to do this, and even more in social networks we can portray the opinions we want people to know we have – we might not admit to liking all the music we do, or we may exaggerate just how much sport we play. It's easier to do this online, being temporarily and geographically remote from most of the people who will read our profiles allows us to be more selective with the truth than we could be offline.
Of course, it's not that we want to deceive or be selective with the truth. It's just that we want to have our voices heard and care about what people think about us. Social networks are so focused on the individual profile and networks that it encourages you to portray yourself in the way you want others to see you. You want to earn the respect of others and your only way of doing this is in the way you portray yourself.
In online communities, things are different. These are not spaces focused on the profile and connections, rather on a shared and group effort, aim or ambition. In this space the desire to be heard doesn't lead to 'exaggeration' on personal profiles, rather online communities provide a multitude of opportunities for our voices to be heard. Social networks are 'me' spaces where you can only earn respect through how you portray yourself. In online communities, an 'us' space, you earn respect for your ideas and contributions to that shared goal.
This means that our social nature is aligned with the aim of online communities – unsurprisingly considering these are in fact natural communities that are online.
So what does this mean for those of us who are involved in building and managing communities? Firstly we need to make sure we have thought about the aim or challenge that the community is there to solve – are we trying to create the best hotel review site in the world, provide a way for peers to support each other with health and beauty advice, or let consumers tell help a brand improve its product. What is the aim that we want people to contribute to, and then how do we make sure that people will take part in the discussions. How can we help them to promote their own ideas and thoughts in the way they naturally want to.
This is not easy to do and is why good online communities need careful and dedicated planning and strategy before launch and then good management to build and grow. We'll be coming back to this throughout January, looking at the ways of promoting community management.

Great distinction between communities and networks. I have long thought that the networks don't "get" the power of community and when they do we might have true promise in this sector. Yes, I'm being a little glib, but maybe you can appreciate that:)Dana Theus Jan 11, 2009Reply
Jan 13, 2009
I totally agree that there is a distinction between social networks and communities – networks being about "me" and communities being about "we".
It is the "we" focus, the desire to share your knowledge and passion with others that drives commmunity. The quality of contribution that should be the measurement of a person's reputation.
In communities this focus on the "we" in fact can play against some of the very features that make a network attractive. For instance in a network, I create my space – its all about me – first then I link to friends and others. The conversation is secondary. In a community, a person is coming to learn from the "we", and while a person might build out their profile, the most important part is sharing, giving to others in the community. The "me" part builds out later (in most cases).
In the past year, I have seen a lot of people responsible for social media strategy thinking that they should focus on the desire for a user to come to their website and connect with other people that have bought or are thinking of buying their product and leading with the networking/"me" features. That is exactly the opposite that is true. People come first to see if they can find an answer or share their knowledge then they promote themselves.
Thanks for highlighting this important distinction.Karen Orton Jan 13, 2009Reply

Brothers Produce expands facility
Houston-based Brothers Produce is absorbing its neighbors.
In September, the company brought in 20,000 square feet on one side of its Produce Row facility and plans to take on an additional 30,000 square feet from the other side this summer.
Vice president Brent Erenwert said the company is happy to continue growing on Produce Row.
Leasing the facility has been instrumental in maintaining growth, even through the recession, Erenwert said.
Ben E. Keith expects Houston facility in 2013
Construction is under way at Fort Worth-based Ben E. Keith Foods' Houston distribution facility.
Bill Sewell, director of produce and dairy, said it should be open for business within a year and a half.
"We're in the process of announcing jobs, even though it's over a year from opening," he said.
The new facility will supply south from College Station through Houston and east into Louisiana.
Chefs' Produce adds retail veteran
Norman Scott, who has more than 30 years of retail experience in the Houston area — most recently with Houston-based Rice Epicurean Markets — joined Houston-based Chefs' Produce Co. as a salesman in 2011.
Chefs' brought in Scott to boost its retail business, said Juan DeFranco, general manager.
Houston association plans meeting Feb. 15
The next meeting of the Houston Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Association is scheduled for Feb. 15 at Brennan's in downtown Houston.
Pierre Boucha, regional sales manager for Paramount Farms, starts his two-year term as president at the meeting, said Dave Anderson, current HFFVA president.
Mex Flores Produce adds salesman
Jerry Gonzales has joined the sales staff of Mex Flores Produce.
Gonzales focuses on the company's Mexican cabbage and celery sales, as well as helping to secure watermelon acreage in
Lavaca County, said Mike Contreras, sales manager.
The company has added a ripening/degreening room, as well.
Mex Flores also is seeing big growth with Mexican groceries.
"That has been a tenfold increase, volumewise," Contreras said.
Increasing business of mainline Mexican groceries such as soft drinks and corn husks gives Mex Flores more opportunities for increasing produce business, he said.

Feedback on orchestral piece + a few questions
Seen a few threads asking for feedback on pieces, hope it's still allowed.
Anyhow, one of my portfolio pieces for Bachelor applications is nearing completion, and I'd love some feedback, as well as some extra eyes on the score.
A little about the piece - it's made up a somewhat exposition-like part (0:00-4:08), followed by a more developmental part which last for the rest of the piece.
The "exposition" consist of an unrelated introduction (though the material is re-introduced later), a somewhat jumpy section which introduces both a central melodic and rythmic figure. Gradually, it starts moving to a third section, which I like to think of as the "bombastic 7/8-section", with it's own tone language, though it steals along the rhytmic figure from the earlier section. It first manifests itself clearly at 3:08.
The rest is just wreaking havoc with the earlier material.
Now the questions:
Nowadays, is it required to specify "pedal timpani" in the score?
Should I list what performer plays what (with regards to percussion), and/or that there is only 2 performers, on the title page? If so, what's the standard phrasing?
In rehearsal mark, do vlc and cb need more time to prepare for bartok pizz (coming from normal pizz)?
... and that's all I could think of right now, I was sure there were more. It'd be nice to hear peoples associations upon hearing it, though. Also, if you notice any seemingly missing dynamic marks (or other things, but that's the one most likely to have slipped through proof-reading), feel free to point them out!
Mock-up (haven't had that much time to spend on it):

I don't have time to listen right now, but just a few things about your score:
1) Just indicating timpani is fine, but timpani's are generally their own instrument and aren't indicated with the percussion in the score (the timpanist isn't really a percussionist, in other words). They also typically aren't asked to play another instrument.
2) At the beginning of the score it doesn't really matter if you indicate which percussionist plays what (as long as it's indicated in the actual score) but you should say the number of players. I would just add (2 players) after your header for percussion.
3) In general the cello and bass should be able to do Bartok pizz about as quickly, but it's possible they'd be a little slower. It depends on context, do you have a specific passage?
4) One of my pet peeves, although something you see a lot of: when you have a tied note that begins or ends a slur marking, the slur should (in my, and most notation manuals' opinion) stretch back or forward to the first or last tied note.
I'll say more when I have a chance to listen. Just from a glance the score looks pretty nice though.
I don't know what music theory is.

It's a minor point, but in any given system you only really need to show the parts for those instruments that are playing at that time.

Thanks for taking the time to reply!
1) In my experience, this practice is becoming somewhat obselete today. I've been to plenty performances of modern works with a percussionist/timpanist part. Admittedly, some of them were chamber works where it's been more widespread. Still, I felt breaking a convention is prefferable to calling for a sole performer for the crotales.
2) Yeah, I probably should. Thanks!
3) My bad, it was meant to say "rehearsal mark A". It's a fairly long section in pizz followed directly by a sudden bartok pizz.
4) I actually prefer doing it the way you describe, but I've only read books describing the other version. Might go over and change it now though!
This is what I do, except for page 1 where all are instruments are shown, which is standard. Though I saw now that due to changing a page break, page 2 got messed up with regards to this, so if that's what you meant, thanks for the catch!
A Joke Ban Broke My Title

Okay, I've had a listen and I've got to say not what I was expecting (in a good way). I hear a lot of Stravinsky and Bartok with a bit less tonal focus.
You say this is for a bachelor's program, but you've been doing this for a while no? (Please say yes, or I'll be very depressed.) You have a pretty good command of the orchestra, better than I do anyway. It is very string heavy though and it would have been nice to hear you explore more of the wind colours. One risky thing I noticed is that you rely on the horns for a couple of big melodic parts and they have a tendency to get covered up if they aren't doubled.
Formally, you had me up until K and then you lost me until you brought back the Stravinsky rhythm. I don't know what it is, but it doesn't seem connected until I hear that rhythm again. I think one of the problems is that you don't really transition into it you just hold the note and then jump in and I didn't really buy it.
Overall, I really liked it.
I don't know what music theory is.

I always felt that K is definitely the weakest transition as well, probably doesn't help that the sections up until the coda-ish part are a bit distant. Didn't have a crotales sample when I did the mock-up, but since it's the only thing connecting the sections, I'll see if I can dig one up and see if it helps any having it there.
You're right in that I'm not exactly completely new to this. I'm currently in my 2nd year in a folk high school program (a school form pretty much native to Scandinavia). My (rather subjective) impression is that the typical entry-level knowledge for music Bachelor programs is a bit higher in Europe than USA, possibly because education is typically free (or considerably cheaper). Here in Sweden, most or at least a lot of people go to these folk high schools before even attempting to get in.
Was in a bit of a hurry earlier. Added in another bassoon at rehearsal mark E, you're right in that I'm often too trusting of the horns! In the "coda" I'm not as worried though, mostly because it's meant to be a bit chaotic in itself.

Anxiety About Scheduled Induction
I am 10 days past due and scheduled for an induction. (My cervix has not thinned out at all.) I am a little apprehensive about the procedure and what will take place. I wanted to have natural childbirth but feel that I will be unable to due to the anxiety that inducing labor is bringing into my mind.Question:
Peg Plumbo CNM
Peg Plumbo has been a certified nurse-midwife (CNM) since 1976. She has assisted at over 1,000 births and currently teaches in the... Read more
99.6 percent of all babies are born between 38 and 42 weeks but as 42 weeks and beyond approaches, concerns are raised about the optimal functioning of the placenta. If you have very "good dates," and they are sure you are indeed 41.5 weeks, they could run a biophysical profile (an ultrasound and nonstress test) to reassure everyone that the baby is doing well. Because fetal mortality increases after 42 weeks, some providers wish to start investigating fetal wellbeing and others begin induction at 41.5 weeks.
If the head is engaged and the cervix is ripe, sometimes rupturing the membranes is all that is necessary. But this commits to delivery within 24 hours. Another common procedure is to place prostaglandin gel near the cervix the evening before the planned induction and cervical ripening usually begins, which makes the induction easier and more successful. The gel alone may start labor.
If you and your support person and your provider all agree on the appropriateness of the induction, then try to view it as the time for the baby to be born. Bring everything with you that you had planned on using at home to help you through labor and try not to let the machinery bother you. No physician is going to really push hard if you don't respond to it. Rather they would probably hope that it ripens the cervix, and if the baby is responding well, they may stop and try again in a couple of days.
Oxytocin induced labor is not necessarily harder than your own contractions would be, it is just a bit more intense because it tends to be shorter. Instead of a long latent phase at home, hopefully, you may start labor a bit more rested than you normally would.
I hope all goes well for you.Answer:

Why the Movie Industry Is Squeezing You This Summer
PORTLAND, Ore. ( TheStreet) -- Even if you're mad at Steven Spielberg for editing E.T. to swap out guns for walkie-talkies and loathe George Lucas for continually revising the Star Wars films, can we simply agree that these men know how to make and sell blockbuster films -- even if they can't stop futzing with them?
Good, because it's not them who are inevitably going to suck every bit of pleasure out of movies as we know them. It's the industry around them. In their view, it doesn't matter how The Lone Ranger did this past weekend, because Disney (DIS) and all the other studios have wrecked the movie business beyond repair.
At a panel discussion at the University of Southern California's School of Cinematic Arts in June, Spielberg noted theatrical movie releases are now competing against new, more personal and more riveting forms of entertainment. Meanwhile, Hollywood just keeps throwing money in the hopes that Mars Needs Moms, John Carter and Rise of the Guardians won't just blow up in their faces.
"There's eventually going to be a big meltdown," Spielberg said. "There's going to be an implosion where three or four or maybe even a half-dozen of these mega-budgeted movies go crashing into the ground, and that's going to change the paradigm again."Lucas chimed in and declared that as studios narrow their focus and gamble more cash on lowest-common-denominator films carried largely by effects, moviegoers will continue to turn away in droves. It's the consequence of that exodus that should have moviegoers nervous, Lucas explains.
