Cher tour dates: Was Cher a better singer or actress in the '80s
Would I be a jerk if I just said I prefer Cher as an actress rather than a singer? Oh, okay. Because I do. I know some people are excited about Cher's announcement that she's preparing for a 49-city tour to begin in March (see the full list of concert dates and locations below). I'd rather comb my way through my DVDs and rewatch her in Mask.
Her tour includes three stops in Florida; the nearest stop to Tampa Bay is Orlando at the Amway Center on May 16. And truth is, despite what you remember, Cher had a few hits in the '80s. Five charters, in fact.
But look at the songs below and her movie credits and tell me: What Cher a better singer or actor in the '80s?
TOP 5 CHER SINGLES IN THE '80s:
1. If I Could Turn Back Time (1989): Her biggest hit by far in our decade, it rose to No. 3 on the U.S. charts.
2. After All (1989): I always think of this as a Peter Cetera song. Still do.
3. I Found Someone (1987): Originally written for Laura Branigan, Cher made it into a bigger hit.
4. We All Sleep Alone (1988): Written by Jon Bon Jovi, Desmond Child and Richie Sambora. I had no idea.
5. Skin Deep (1988): This barely cracked the charts, ultimately landing at No. 79.
TOP 5 CHER MOVIES OF THE '80s:
1. Mask (1985): Ending breaks my heart every time.
2. Moonstruck (1987): Other people would tap this as her No. 1 movie. Eh. Great flick, but a little overacted.
3. Silkwood (1983): Cher won this part over Lily Tomlin.
4. Suspect (1987): Love this flick, but seriously can't see the spark between her and Dennis Quaid.
5. The Witches of Eastwick (1987): This film is more Jack's than Cher's.

"One last thing sire. Killing innocents... and I'm using the term loosely... increases your corruption, so it creates more evil energy that amplifies your power
— Gnarl explaining to the Overlord for the first time how corruption can be accelerated
Corruption is the game mechanic in Overlord that represents the player's level of Evil-dom.
Certain choices will affect how corrupt you are. Being evil also increases your power. As you become more corrupted, spikes will grow out of your armour.
A highly corrupted Overlord is surrounded by a red haze (starting from 50% corruption), an almost entirely corrupted Overlord will heat the surrounding air around his body, to form an second haze (starting from 95% corruption). His armor is darker and has more spikes at the knees and elbows, whereas the armor of an not corrupted Overlord remains shiny and has fewer spikes. If you are not corrupt, people in every domain will cheer and say nice things to you. But the choices are entirely up to the player. Just know that each have their benefits.
The Dark Tower changes based on your corruption level. From 0-20%, the tower throne room view will be a normal blue sky. From 20-40%, a dark violet Evil Cloud cover begins to partially surround the tower, while some parts are still blue. From 40-60%, the sky will start turning red with some normal clouds. From 60-80%, the red sky starts to turn violet and the sun will be nearly blocked. From 80-100%, the sky will be completely covered with dark violet clouds, darkening the tower even more, with the sun being a small white dot in the sky. It appears that the Tower Heart caused this 'corruption' to manifest in the Overlord, collecting evil energy and imbuing it into the Overlord, dramatically increasing his power but making him more evil at the same time. In Overlord 2, the Overlad has no spikes regardless of alignment, proving that the Tower Heart was what caused the spikes to appear and generated the red haze. The theme of the Dark Tower changes as well; the more corruption the Overlord has, the more spikes form on the tower.
Increasing Corruption Edit
Corruption can be increased by performing evil deeds around the world. Every deed adds a small percentage to the Corruption level. Below is a list of all deeds that increase Corruption together with the percentage of Corruption the deed adds to the total Corruption level, some also feature a small description on when/how the deed can be performed.
- 3% — You have killed a friendly peasant. An unfortunate accident or the start of an Evil rampage?
Kill any innocent peasant in Spree (lock on peasant and attack).
- 5% — You have killed 10 females, Wenchbane!
Kill 10 female peasants in Spree.
- 5% — You killed 20 peasants. Are you holding back?
Kill 20 innocents.
- 1% — You are a Harasser of Humans and the people of Spree don't like you anymore.
Just kill a few peasants in Spree.
- 3% — Now you've Suppressed Spree. The people officially hate you.
You must attack a peasant in Spree, and continue to kill them until they stop attacking and start begging (their target becomes green again).
- 10% — You have killed 100 peasants. Got a taste for it, have you?
Continue to kill peasants not only in Spree, but in Heaven's Peak as well.
- 15% — So many lives lost. So much Lifeforce for you. You are the ultimate Enemy of Mankind.
You need to kill a total of 500 peasants for this one.
- 5% — You have killed 10 Elves, you are hereby known as Destroyer of Elves.
Not the ghost elves mind you; the ten (living) slaves you encounter.
- 3% — You kept the peasants' food. Your Minions are happy, the peasants are not.
Keep the food you find in Halfling Homes (2) which gives you +50 brown Lifeforce. This is the sin of Gluttony.
- 10% — You dumped Rose in favour of her sister Velvet.
Once Sir William is no more, order your minions to carry Velvet's bed, instead of turning the wheel near Rose. This is the sin of Lust.
- 10% — You traded the Elven Race for lots of lovely gold.
Once you beat Goldo at the Royal Halls in the Golden Hills, you chose to save the 10,000 gold and not the female elves. This is the sin of Greed.
- 5% — The Mother Goddess statue looks great in your Tower. The Elves are a bit upset.
Once you capture Jewel, and return the Mother Goddess statue from the Ruborian Desert, you chose to keep the statue. This is the sin of Envy.
- 5% — You gave your traitors the punishment they deserved.
After freeing Spree from Kahn, you chose to kill the traitors near the inn. A quick target lock and Inferno spell does the trick. This is the sin of Wrath.
- 2% — You trashed all of Spree's houses, Homewrecker!
Break down all doors of the Spree homes and send in your minions until smoke comes out of the houses.
- 3% — You have 'persuaded' Spree's peasants to come and work at your Tower.
After doing 'Suppressor of Spree', return to the tower and go back again to the Mellow Hills. A peasant with a sacrificial 'virgin' girl bound to a wooden frame will appear, offering her in the hopes that you will show mercy towards Spree. Attack her and then make 2 minions carry her to the tower gate. You need to explore most of the Mellow Hills area, not just the village of Spree. You can recognize them by their lines like 'I'll not come with you, sheep murderer.' and 'Take my Sister, she's the prettier one.' When you catch them all, return to the tower and you'll have an amusing dialogue of Gnarl giving orders to the maids.
- 3% — You trashed all of the houses in Heaven's Peak, you Town Trasher.
There are only four such houses, spread out over the city. Again break doors, then send in the minions.
- 2% — You caused a bar room brawl in the Halfway to Heaven Inn.
At the inn, simply attack somebody there.
- 5% — The Sacred Grove is a blackened wasteland.
In the Evernight Forest burn down the grove with a Fire spell, or usually the Reds will beat you to it. Can also happen if you hit a unicorn with a weapon enchanted with fire. This is the sloth sin.
- 5% — You've fattened the slugs by feeding the Elves to them.
You need to open the gates for the elves in the Glittering Mine to then let the large slugs devour them, for ultimate evil. Killing the slugs and then killing the elves yourself does *not* work, and does not yield negative "good" Corruption either!
All deeds added together results in a total of 100% Corruption.
Decreasing Corruption Edit
There are a few decisions the Overlord can make to reduce Corruption, thus letting you "accidentally" do a few bad things, but still end with 0% Corruption. Staying on the "good" side is all about *not* doing anything bad, i.e. attack innocents.
- 2% — You selflessly returned the food to the fat peasants.
Return the food you find in Melvin's Kitchen, granting extra sheep and a ram in the pasture nearest the tower gate, good for 6 extra brown life force each time the area reloads, these extra sheep will stay for as long as you don't suppress Spree.
- 2% — You chose to keep Mistress Rose.
Once Sir William is no more, you kept Rose instead of choosing Velvet as your new mistress.
- 2% — The Elven race will live on, thanks to you.
Once you beat Goldo at the Royal Halls in the Golden Hills, you chose to save the female elves, graciously rejecting the 10,000 gold you could have picked up instead.
- 2% — The Elves are singing for joy at the return of the Mother Goddess statue.
Once you capture Jewel, and return the Mother Goddess statue from the Ruborian Desert, you chose to return it to the elves.
- 2% — You were merciful to your traitors.
After freeing Spree from Kahn, you chose to simply do nothing to the traitors near the inn, thus showing mercy.
- 2% — You have recovered the health upgrade without damaging the Sacred Grove
Before facing Oberon, go in the evernight swamp gate and continue to the right of the arcane blood altar and retrieve the health upgrade from the grove, without using fire spells to burn it, without using reds, because they'll attack the unicorns on sight, and without using fire enchanted weapons on unicorns.
- -12% Corruption total. Note you will never have a negative Corruption value.
Equivalent Edit
Even if the Overlord in Overlord 2 has full Destruction or Domination, his appearance will never change, but concept art shows the Overlord with blue horns and a glowing body, indicating that he was supposed to change as he did in Overlord.
Endings Edit
The Corruption Value determines whether you get the good ending or the evil ending. You get the good ending for having Corruption 0-50%, and the evil ending for Corruption of 51% or higher.
100% Corruption Lecture
The Very Land bore the mark of his corruption (Video of the overlord using Inferno Spell on Evernight Burning down the forest with praising minions)
The people lived in Fear; they spoke his name in whispers. (Video of Heaven's Peak City burning with red minions and scared citizens)
He Killed, Pillaged, and Destroyed without mercy. (Video of peasants in heaven's peak underground level 2,being executed and possibly sacrificed in the smelter, with Giblet and other browns including the Guard minion.)
He Became Evil Incarnate (a peasant being tortured by a brown minion with a spear with the Overlord watching)
It looks like it was intended for a 'good' Overlord to also have servants without having to kidnap them, with peasants voluntarily going to the dark tower after the overlord helped them out. Some audio dialogue is still left in the game files, but it was probably dummied out because it seemed too evil for a 'good' Overlord.
- Like the Jester, you could probably hit Gnarl for amusement. Dialogue like 'Ah like the old times' 'I've said something wrong?' and 'Why are you hitting Gnarl?' still exist in the game files, hinting that this was also dummied out.
- You might have been able to destroy the Temple of the Mother Goddess in Evernight. The audio files have an additional line of dialogue spoken by the Jester, who gives you the title 'Destroyer of the Mother Goddess Temple'.
It should be noted that if one was to only commit normal corrupt acts, and not ones that have to do with the seven sins, then the added negative corruption will cause the player to have exactly 50% corruption value.
The Third Overlord Fully Corrupt
note the red stains on the armor and helmet and spikes
Gnarl mentions that the corruption forms not only in the overlord, but in all evil creatures such as the minions and the Halflings over time, so it's inevitable to become evil.

It was in the FT a fortnight ago that Nick Clegg promised that some "massive" new infrastructure projects were in the pipeline. The deputy prime minister's remarks were interesting politically as he simultaneously endorsed the victory of Francois Hollande, the socialist new president of France.
But does the infrastructure promise amount to much? At the time it was greeted with some scepticism by those including Rachel Reeves, shadow chief secretary to the Treasury, who said:
"We have heard promises about infrastructure investment time and time again, but nothing has happened."

"Cops wanna knock me, D.A. wanna box me in. But somehow, I beat them charges like Rocky." - Jay-Z
About the Other Night
I'm generally from the "mind your own business" school of thought. I think that a lot of life's little problems would probably be avoided if people just minded their own business a little more (especially a lot of the problems I see in my job). So, that's what I ended up doing the other night. (Although, I did blog about it.)
That said, I definitely understand that there's a difference between having a drink or two before driving and driving while impaired. And, in my opinion, this driver was more in the reeked-of-alcohol-and-had-been-drinking-for-a-while category than the otherwise-clean-but-just-had-a-shot-or-even-two category. But that's just based on my "training and experience" which is probably no more reliable than the police officers' that I try to discredit as part of my job.
Further, I felt that it was worse that this man was not only drinking and driving, but drinking and driving while on a job that requires driving. I felt, for what it's worth, that somehow there's a difference between having a few glasses of wine with dinner and then driving straight home compared to having a few drinks, knowing that you're going to spend the rest of the evening driving around as part of a service job. Not that there's a difference legally, but I guess there is to me.
Someone mentioned that drunk driving is one of their "issues." It's not mine, but I can respect that. I see a lot of different crimes in my job, and I hear a lot of different rationalizations. "I stole because I was hungry," "I stole because the opportunity was there," "I stole to support my habit." These I can generally, at least to some degree, understand. Even "I hit her because I just lost my temper," I can understand that maybe you didn't grow up in a way that you were taught to control your temper, or you were never really taught that it's not okay to hit someone (especially if you were being hit, or watching mom being hit).
But I really can't understand any rationalization to knowingly driving drunk. I happen to work in a city with a million ways to get home if you can't drive - call a friend, call a cab, take the bus, take the train, or just walk. I guess maybe one difference is that when I was in school (not that long ago), drunk driving was a big issue. We talked about it in health class and in driver's ed. There were occasionally guest speakers (probably doing community service, I guess) and S.A.D.D. would set up wrecked cars in front of the high school. We were taught that drunk driving was not just bad, but very bad. And, if I had to guess, I'd say that most of the commenters who said, "He could've hit a kid" grew up in this same era. The reality is that not every impaired, or even drunk, driver ends up hitting someone or something. Fortunately, a lot make it home safe. I'm not saying drunk drivers are never dangerous, I just wonder how much of this drunk-driver-is-going-to-kill-someone mantra is reality, and how much of it is what we were just taught in school.
A lot of the drunk driving clients that I see are older, in their 40s or 50s, probably from a time when drunk driving wasn't such an issue. Most have never been in trouble for anything else. The rest are kids, who were just being stupid. Those usually fall into the "I didn't think I was that drunk" category (of course, they "only had 2 beers"). Or "I just didn't think."
Finally, though, I feel like even if I wanted to say something about it now, it's kind of too late. (Remember, this is the police department that said a $6K theft wasn't worth following up on, I don't think "the pizza guy was drunk a few nights ago" is going to rank too highly.) But I think that, in the future, if something like this happened, I might call the police. And, I also think that if I felt like my local police department was more responsive, I might be more inclined to report more incidents, but, like I said, in the past I lost quite a few hours with them regarding my case, only to be told that it wasn't worth following up on. There's been other similar incidents (worse, actually), but I'll leave it at that for now.
So, I guess that's more or less the end of that now. Unless I end up ordering from there again. Which I might have to do, considering how good the alfredo was... (Although, I'm still interested in hearing everyone's opinions).

I didn't comment on your original stab at this topic, but since you have resumed, here's my two cents.ReplyDelete
I think you should have reported the guy at that time, now it would be no good. I do defense work and I have defended those accused of DUI and I tend to be sympathetic to the client. However, the delivery guy wasn't a client, but a danger. I have a colleague, whose practice also includes criminal defense, whose son was killed by a drunk driver this last year. I know of several others who have lost family members to drunk drivers. I think you have come to the conclusion that you should have reported the guy -- but as I might have done at the time--you minded your own business and went with the odds that he wasn't going to get anyone killed that night.

DWI, drunk driving, dui, and a license to drink.ReplyDelete
Madd, sadd, radd, A.A., and Alanon related.
Copyright: 1987-2005 © Bruce Alm. Documentation is available.
The answer to the problem of drunk driving, etc. could be this; a permit for the purchase and consumption of alcohol beverages.
This would not only be a major assault on the problem of drunk driving, but would also have an effect on virtually all other crimes such as these;
murder, rape, assault, burglary, robbery, suicide, vandalism, wife beating, child beating, child molestation, the spread of aids, college binge drinking, animal cruelty, etc., the list is endless.
If this proposition was made law, there could be a major reduction in all these areas of concern, even though the emphasis concerning alcohol abuse seems to be drunk driving in particular.
There could also be many other positive results;
families healed, better work performance, booze money spent on products that would help the economy (we've all heard of the guy who spends half his check in the bar on payday,) would spare many health problems, etc.
This new law could go something like this:
Any person found guilty of any crime where drinking was a factor would lose the right to purchase and/or consume alcohol beverages.
For a first misdemeanor, a three year revocation. a second misdemeanor, a ten year revocation. a third misdemeanor, a lifetime revocation. Any felony crime, an automatic lifetime revocation.
Anyone caught drinking alcohol without a permit would receive a possible $1000 fine and/or jail sentence. those who would supply alcohol to people without a drinking permit (and possibly make money at it,) would also lose his/her right to purchase alcohol beverages.
What wife or husband would buy an alcoholic spouse a bottle?
What friend would give a problem drinker a drink at the possible cost of a thousand bucks and the loss of their own privilege? This could be a total discouragement to these would-be pushers.
This permit doesn't seem as though it would be a problem to put into effect. It could simply be a large X, or whatever, on the back of any drivers license in any state, to show who has been revoked, and cannot purchase alcohol.
Most people of drinking age have a driver's license, but one area that might be a problem could be New York City, where many people don't drive.
This problem could be resolved, however, by a license-type I.D. specifically for the purchase of alcohol beverages. Most, if not all states have these already for the purpose of identification.
This could be a small price to pay for the saved lives of thousands of Americans each and every year.
After this, it would simply be a matter of drinking establishments checking I.D.s at the time of purchase.
In the case of crowded bars, they could simply check I.D.s at the door, as they do now.
Would this be a violation of rights?
There can be no argument here since they already check I.D.s of people who look as though they may not be old enough to drink.
This could be a good saying, "If a person who doesn't know how to drive shouldn't have a license to drive, a person who doesn't know how to drink shouldn't have a license to drink."
Here are some other pluses to this idea:
A good percentage of people in correctional institutions are there because of alcohol related offences . Because of this, court, penal, and law enforcement costs could drop dramatically.
The need for A.A., ALANON, MADD, SADD, etc., could be greatly diminished as well.
What the alcoholic fears most, is the temptation to have that first drink, usually a spur of the moment type thing. Without the ability to do this, he/she is fairly safe. To start drinking again would almost have to be planned in advance. and to maintain steady drinking would be extremely difficult, in most cases.
Even though A.A. members as a group don't become involved in political movements, it seems as individuals, they would all be in favor of a situation like this. Any person who wants to quit drinking, even if never having been in trouble with the law, could simply turn in their license for the non-drinking type.
A woman from MAAD, on the NBC TODAY show, said "One out of every ten Americans has a drinking problem, and that 10% consumes 60% of all alcohol beverages sold in the U.S.."
If this is true, there could be financial problems for breweries, liquor stores, bars, rehab centers, etc., as well as lawyers, massive amounts of tax revenue 'down the drain,' and so on.
But it doesn't seem as though anyone would have a valid argument against a proposal such as this for financial reasons. To do so would be morally wrong, and could be likened to a drug-pusher attitude.
Even with the problems this new law could present, it still could, in one sense, be considered the simple solution to the number one drug problem in the U.S. and elsewhere. Alcoholism.

Robert Laurence Binyon (10 August 1869 at Lancaster – 10 March 1943 at Reading, Berkshire) was an English poet, dramatist, and art scholar. His most famous work, For the Fallen, is well known for being used in Remembrance Sunday services.
Moved by the opening of the Great War and the already high number of casualties of the British Expeditionary Force, in 1914 Laurence Binyon wrote his For the Fallen, with its Ode of Remembrance, as he was visiting the cliffs of northern Cornwall (where a plaque commemorates it nowadays.) The piece was published by The Times newspaper in September, when public feeling was affected by the recent Battle of Marne.

Comments about Robert Laurence Binyon
For The Fallen
With proud thanksgiving, a mother for her children,
England mourns for her dead across the sea.
Flesh of her flesh they were, spirit of her spirit,
Fallen in the cause of the free.
Solemn the drums thrill; Death august and royal
Sings sorrow up into immortal spheres,
There is music in the midst of desolation
And a glory that shines upon our tears.
They went with songs to the battle, they were young,
Straight of limb, true of eye, steady and aglow.
They were staunch to the end against odds uncounted;
They fell with their faces to the foe. ...

Osprey's very own Sarah Harper Burke is taking part in a great endeavor this summer: she's climbing Mt. Shasta as part of Climbing Against the Odds, an annual mountaineering expedition by the Breast Cancer Fund for breast cancer prevention.
Osprey has long been a supporter of the Breast Cancer Fund, and Sarah's excited to take part in this year's expedition. We sat down with her to learn a little bit more.
Why did you decide to join the Climb for the Cure?
This was an opportunity presented by Osprey. Osprey has supported the Breast Cancer Fund for years. This was the first time Osprey has taken the next step of support by sponsoring a team member on the climb.
I'm sure you've been working hard to train for your climb, what has kept you inspired?
As I continue to learn about the Breast Cancer Fund, I've realized how connected their attitude towards prevention is to my everyday experience. I'm inspired to help spread this message throughout my community. Also, I am a complete novice at mountaineering. This physical challenge is like non- other I have experienced. That alone has been a great push.
What impact do you think your climb will have?
Climbing Mt. Shasta is a challenge that I hope will grab people's attention. This is no small walk in the park. This is a large group of cancer survivors and their families climbing mountains as a way to represent what odds they can overcome. It's inspiring!
The Breast Cancer Fund is all about studying the environmental causes of breast cancer. Why is that important to you?
I have not been personally affected by breast cancer but am concerned about ways in which I can prevent it. I'm learning about how some cosmetics and plastics can have a serious effect on my body.
With breast cancer affecting so many women, what do you think ordinary people can do every day to raise awareness and support those fighting cancer right now?
Money talks, even in subtle ways. We can all help spread the word of prevention with how we spend our dollars. Make sure you are purchasing BPA free plastics, choose safe cosmetics, buy hormone free meat and dairy. Little changes in the way you spend can send a huge message to manufacturers.
Now comes the exciting part: Sarah's in the midst of fundraising for the Breast Cancer Fund — she's trying to raise $7,500, and she's a little over $3,000 away from her goal — and we want you to take part! By donating money to the cause, you'll be supporting the BCF's work to expose and eliminate the environmental causes of breast cancer.
We think that's definitely worth supporting, and just for a little extra, we're throwing in a little swag. We've got 20 Transporter duffles up for grabs for the first 20 people who donate $50+, and to top it off, a big pack prize to the person who puts us over the next $3,000 donated. So hop on over to Sarah's fundraising page and help the cause and get the chance to score some sweet Osprey gear!

The bouquets, centre-pieces, flowers for the ceremony, corsages/bout's, and flowers for decor were exquisite... everything actually exceeded our expectations! It was excellent value and I couldn't have been happier. We worked with Geraldine, who understood my theme perfectly and brought my vision to life. We were really happy and would recommend working with Geraldine to anyone planning their wedding!"

"I ordered flowers for Mother's Day and set the date to the 9th because it wasn't available on the 10th (Sunday). When the flowers didn't arrive on Saturday I was a little worried, but the flowers arrived perfectly on the Sunday. My mother was thrilled with the flowers and I was able to order them from the internet as I live in Korea. Fantastic!!!"

It's the first PMQs after Parliament's Easter recess, and we're as keen as ever to see your responses as the new term kicks off.
Just to remind you, you call in to tell us how you feel about the questions and answers in the Commons, and we weight the group to be representative of the UK population as a whole.
If the graphs in the videos below move above the line, this means you like the speaker or the message; if it drops below, you're not liking what's being said or who's saying it.
Do your own Panel
And this week, we can also offer you the chance to do your own number-crunching! If you're interested in an exchange from PMQs that we didn't cover, or you want to split the results by age rather than gender, say, then you can download a recording and all the results and run your own Panel!
"Will he look urgently and positively at these constructive proposals?"
The first big topic on the first week of term was pensions, which proved a big winner for David Cameron.
This topic is of real concern to voters and the Tories have succeeded in focusing much of the criticism on Gordon Brown. Mr Cameron scores well with supporters of all parties, as you can see in the video clip; what's more, the graph on the right shows us the intensity of the responses - we see that Labour voters feel very sore about pensions and that there's no sympathy for Tony Blair.
"There has been progress, but there remains much more to do"
Next, we looked at a question from the Conservative backbencher Angela Watkinson.
She asked the PM about the government's drugs policies. In the video clip on the right, we split your responses by age group and saw - perhaps unsurprisingly - that the 18-34 age group is divided over whether cannabis should be reclassified, with about half agreeing with the Prime Minister's view that there's been some success in targeting harder drugs.
Older voters are close to adamant that downgrading cannabis was a mistake.
We also looked at how responses differ by gender. In the graph on the right, you can see that male voters are divided on the issue, while women just don't buy the Prime Minister's argument.
"If the Prime Minister thinks the Chancellor did such a good job, why didn't he turn up and vote for him?"
David Cameron couldn't resist raising the leadership question again, particularly after the news that the Environment Secretary David Miliband said he wasn't minded to run.
The Conservative leader asked the PM why he wouldn't fully endorse the Chancellor as his successor. What's fascinating here is that Labour voters want to hear the answer as much as the opposition parties supporters. As you can see in the clip, they're also unconvinced by Tony Blair's response.
Get in touch
We can look forward to some lively PMQs as we approach the appointment of a new prime minister, so if you'd like to get involved in telling the Panel your Perceptions, tune in on Wednesdays with your fingers poised over the freephone number: 0800 666 808.
If you have anything to tell us about the Perception Panel, or any other aspect of The Daily Politics, please do email us at firstname.lastname@example.com or using the form below.

I did correspond with the seller. The "calibration manual" does not exist. He just reprinted parts of the regular 752 user's manual. The whole 752 manual copy is available on eBay and elsewhere for $10-15. Apparently with no copyright issues.
There is no evidence that Hickok ever supplied any other "special" or "additional" info to the FAA, government or anyone else. Nor is there any evidence that FAA or other gov't entity ever generated any such documents relating to the 752.

752/752A calibration
There is little difference between ANY Hickok tester...more or better bells and whistles it about it. They ALL are built on the same model for measuring, PERIOD. If you can follow the proceedure for a 6000 or a 539 a or b series calibration then you can figure it out on your own. The 752 is very close to the 539/539b in many ways ( bells and whistles to improve the accuracy, which was NEVER meant, on any HICKOK, to be a LAB tester period...including the C).
There is little reason to fiddle with the guts unless you have replaced the 83 and or 5Y3 with a poor balanced-sides tubes. The 752 allows one to adjust the amplitude of mismatched 120hz pulses ( the 539 series also allows the adjustment for the 5Y3) which DOES affect the gm reading by adding to the plate current and for the 5Y3 by adding to the grid signal offset). ( in other words R20 offsets (equalizes) the peaks of the 83, the 5Y3 is not adjustable unless you add a pot). BUT, if you have a well ballanced tube to begin with, the issue is minimum.
If you have 150 plate, 130 screen, 40 bias per 6000 or any Hickok calibration instruction, then leave it alone! Remember Hickok allowed a good 5% allowance on these values plus or minus. If you have a digital meter you MUST add the right amount of resistance across your probe tips or you will read the plate and screen wrong ( your plate might read 190 when it is really 150).
The one series of testers to try to avoid is any that used the 'english dot' to set the meter sensitivity. The dual pot is 9 of 10 times worn out and or grimmy and repairing one is close to brain surgery, not to mention poor on accuracy the day it was made. Done to many, I know what I speak.
and DO NOT USE DeOxit on any wafer or you just bought yourself a boat anchor. In fact, put deoxit in the next room with your stereo and away from test gear. It IS conductive oil and creates tiny leakage circuits a tester will pick up an a bad tube.
Last, everyone thinks tinkering with these will make it digital age accurate. It will not. Every Hickok tester will give slightly different results even from the same make/model and across models is even worse. They were never intended to decide if an eBay seller is ripping you off by claiming his tube reads 100 points higher than you tester says.
This is NOT rocket science. If you have the ability to read and follow, and can handle the maze of wires, you don't need to send it off and wait two years to get it back from California. USE an isolation transformer, that is a must. Study and understand before you begin. Google, BAMA, and a host of others have all the info you need, so go seek it or mail the tester off.
Good luck

Easy enough to test. Take a clean piece of plastic, make sure it tests as infinite resistance. Spray Deoxit. Let dry. Measure resistance again.

Most Hickok testers operate very similarly and most use the same circuit with some minor modifications. The Daniel Shoo article on calibration of the Hickok 539 in AUdioXpress does not seem to pull up with the links provided, but is accessible by pasting the following URL in your browser to directly pull up the PDF file "http://www.circuitcellar.com/AAI/media/schoo2798.pdf". There is also some additional information at the following posting on ARF Antique Radio Forums • View topic - Updated Hickok 539 Calibration document.
In general there are very few adjustments that can be made in most of these tester, for the 752 the two primary adjustments would be R5 for the line voltage and R20 which adjusts the 83 tube balance. The 539 also allows you to adjust the balance for the 5Y3 tube, so it would be important to have a closely balanced 5Y3 tube in the 752. This was mentioned in the previous post. Make sure the plate/screen voltages are checked with a 1000ohm/v meter as specified in Daniel Shoo's calibration procedure. Also check the signal voltages are correct as noted on page 3 of the 752 manual. Use a standard high impedance meter for the signal voltages. I have had success with changing the 83 tube with a SS replacement as noted in the ARF posting. I do not want to wait 5-10 minutes to allow the 83 tube to warm up each time I check a tube, and there should be no issues with drift or changes over time. You should be able to get the proper line voltage and plate voltage with the SS replacement noted in the posting, you can always adjust the Zener diodes as needed to dial in the correct plate voltage. A few extra volts on the plate has an unmeasurable effect on GM. I also recommend using an external variac to set the line voltage and avoid the line sag issues with the internal rheostat. This has more to do with issues of maintaining the proper grid signal and heater voltage under testing, this was also recommended by Alltubetesters.
The military Hickok TV-10 manual is informative from a trouble shooting procedure and calibration instructions, although the 752 has far fewer adjustments. The manual is a bit large and can be downloaded from the following URL http://bama.edebris.com/download/mil...PS%2093021.pdf.

Thanks for posting that URL to the AudioXpress Schoo artical. I thought I had saved it some time ago. And I did, but it was on a backup disc that I forgot about from an older computer.

I agree with glassandlight about many of the Hickoks having the same voltages and similar circuit to achieve a proper test result for said tester. The voltages are identical on almost all of their tube based Mutual Conductance testers.
As is common with most aged components, they will drift in value thus the voltages will change also. The 5Y3 and 83 tubes are no exception to the aging process if used . I am of the opinion that one of the very first steps to check for proper calibration should be strong and balanced sections in both. Of course just because a tube is old does not mean that it is past it's prime. One of the main causes of a weak and unbalanced tube would be from excessive use or, hours of use. Calibrating to low value unbalanced tubes would only result in out of tolerance voltage readings and cause a false sense of accuracy under an actual load. And the Shunt/English pot, well, glassandlight said it all
Many end users of tube testers do not take the time to learn to read Hickoks schematics to see exactly what wire/switch/tubes do what. Hickok schematics are, at best, difficult to follow without the desire and time to understand them. Most of the users simply want to know that it is safe to use a tube in their audio equipment. For many of these folks, a calibration procedure for their exact tester would save them hours of time. Lots of free procedures out there on B.A.M.A.
I have read many conversations about the use of Deoxit or contact cleaners to clean the phenolic wafer switches. When you think about what you are cleaning from the switches is an oxidized form of the actual metal the contacts are made of, this makes for a better understanding. If you spray cleaners, especially oil based, all over the surface area of the switch, you impregnate the aged phenolic with the oxidized metal, or oil, causing small amounts of conductance to other contacts that could indeed give inaccurate readings, especially during leakage testing. Properly cleaning the contacts requires much time and patience to assure the phenolic does not get wet with the contaminents and must be removed with care.
Lots of good advice in this forum

Back on the other thoughts kicked around here on the 83 and 5Y3, even tubes that test perfect for both em and gm can and will show peaks off by as much as 10% which does affect the gm reading. A scope is the only real way to find a tube with equal (or near equal) peaks..if you are aiming for as accurate a calibration as possible. Remember too, the plate and bias/screen supplies must be right before you can move on to testing shorts/leakage.
good luck everyone...over and out.

This item is currently out of stock. It will take up to 3 weeks to ship.
One of the original models in Cordoba's Luthier series, the Cordoba C9 is built with a solid European spruce top and solid mahogany back and sides. The C9 features a fan bracing pattern, which gives the center of the soundboard more surface area to vibrate and respond to the tension of the strings. A more responsive soundboard makes the guitar louder, and provides better tone. The C9 is the perfect choice for the serious classical guitarist, or for any player looking to upgrade to a concert-level instrument at an affordable price.
Like every guitar in the Luthier series, the C9 is built with Spanish heel construction, where the top of the guitar is attached to the neck, the sides are added next, and the guitar's body is sealed by the installation of the back. This construction feature allows the entire instrument to vibrate as one unified piece. The C9 has the neck shape and flat fingerboard characteristic of traditional classical guitars, and includes the added benefit of a two-way truss rod built into the neck. Cordoba recently expanded upon the C9, offering two new options that appeal to guitarists from all backgrounds: the C9 Parlor, which has a 7/8 size body shape and 50mm nut width, and the C9 Crossover, which is a full size guitar with a slim neck profile, radiused fingerboard, and 48mm nut width.
Aesthetic touches like the mother-of-pearl weave rosette inspired by a 1920's Domingo Esteso guitar add a touch of vintage elegance to this best-seller. Other premium features include an rosewood fingerboard, rosewood bridge, high gloss finish, and Savarez Cristal Corum strings. The C9 includes Cordoba's lightweight polyfoam case.

Constitution Day
talk includes
controversial topics
In 2004, Congress passed legislation designating Sept. 17 as "Constitution Day" and inviting the citizenry to celebrate the signing of the Constitution. The law encourages "instruction" in the responsibilities and opportunities created by that document.
In that spirit, Lorraine Baumgardner will discuss "Celebrating X-Rated Movies, Profanity, and the Controversial" on Sept. 17 on the first floor of the Kent State University Library, from 2 to 3 p.m. The lecture is free.
Southern Night Jam comes to Akron
The Akron Civic Theatre will present Southern Night Jam Sept. 13 at 8 p.m. for an intimate acoustic cabaret featuring three of the South's up and coming performers.
Starting the night out will be Megan McCormick, A Nashville-based singer, songwriter, and guitarist, who grew up in a musical family, picking up the guitar at the age of nine (she also plays lap steel guitar, mandolin and bass), quickly working her way through style after style on the instrument, from blues, folk, and country to jazz and straight - out rock & roll.
Josh Daniel is a North Carolina singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist whose passion and enthusiasm are evident every time he takes the stage. Daniel describes his sound as "Rock n Roll" but it's much broader than that. Josh is able to mold his influences in to a unique sound that is entirely his own. Blending rock 'n' roll with bluegrass, funk and soul music with a reggae backbeat, you never know which way he will lead the crowd.
Hannah Thomas has a style that defies genre, she is a little too country to be rock 'n' roll, and a little too rock 'n' roll to be country, and that is just what makes people love her. A talented and accomplished singer-songwriter at just 23 years old, Hannah has spent 2013 hitting the road playing everywhere from the East Coast to Daytona Beach, Fla. to Greenwich Village in NYC. This is Hannah's second time on the Civic stage.
Ticket prices are $15 or two for $25. The show features limited cabaret style seating on the Civic stage. Tickets are available at the Akron Civic Theatre Box Office, by calling 330-253-2488 or online at www.akroncivic.com.

Family Law
Family Law Questions? Ask a Family Lawyer Online.
1. help with spousal support until I'm on my feet. I'm currently looking for a job and going to interviews.
2. help with child support but don't know how when he says he got fired (which again is a lie)
3. prove somehow what he owes to the irs and put that on my divorce decree for him to pay
4.. somehow prove what he makes but don't know how
all his deposits came to my bank because he couldn't open a bank account under his name. The child support office in NY would freeze his money as they once did when I was with him. At first he had a business under my name ( he asked me and I had idea it was a bad idea). He made lots of check deposits then and my bank has record of this. But just recently two years ago, he started another company with his partner. His partner is his ex brother in law. They have worked together for years scamming every business. But aside from that, going back to proving, yes, I have wire transfers that came to my bank from his partner. But the company is in his partners name but the wire transfers came to my bank.
I've been married 6 years.
Yes, both are his children.
I should mention that he was declared disabled by his doctor in Nov of 2012. He has no need to work outside the home because what he does is in the computer. All his work is in his laptop and his phone records. He is a broker of construction machines. He acts as a buyer, then gets someone to buys the machine and he gets a good commission cut on the sale. He makes about 7k a month and has for the past two years.
Thank you for your follow-up, Bonnie. Please allow me to respond to each concern I see and if I miss anything, kindly follow and I will clarify.In terms of spousal support, you can only pursue it if you can prove that he makes more than you. The burden of proving income is on you and not on him. Since you have been married for a fairly short period of time, I doubt very much a judge would grant you support for more than 3-4 years. Typically support is calculated at about 15%-28% of the difference in income between the more financially stronger spouse and more financially dependent party. So if the difference in income is about $10,000 per year, support would likely fall between $1,500 to $2,800 split over an annual basis.You can attempt to prove support by the income and the deposits you received in your accounts, past history of employment that you are aware of, and other paper trails that you may have seen. In terms of child support, lack of income on his part is not a valid excuse. Once you can prove what he has made you can then request that his support be based on those estimates as well.Finally, for IRS concerns you can contact the IRS directly at the link below and request that they investigate his potential fraud:http://www.irs.gov/Individuals/How-Do-You-Report-Suspected-Tax-Fraud-Activity%3FHope that helps.
Will I get in trouble by the IRS too? The company was under my name but I did it in good faith to help him and NEVER ever occurred to me I was doing something bad or risky.
Bonnie,If he failed to file on your behalf also then you could be in potential liability. But you can assert the 'innocent spouse defense' and claim that you had no knowledge of the fact he never paid taxes as you were signing all the forms he provided to you. It concerns me that the company was under your name as it exposes you to liability from everyone--I would definitely suggest you review your options but if you wish to contact the IRS, that would be the defense to consider.Good luck.
Thank you soo much for all your help.

great Flash movie but th eyes
make them blink when they turn their heads and every now and then.
would makes it look better. try it!
The method of lip syncing I used in this involved the use of the entire head, meaning I could only add blinks manually. Sadly, I didn't have time to do so, but thanks for the critique and I'll try to find time next round.

Fun, but not all fun.
The humor was funny, but it was the motionless eye movement that kept on cutting me off. It was like they were zombies.
Plot was hilarious to go for a 'Game show' though. Just make your movements more obvious.

The Take That member let his fans know how bad the food poisoning is and apologized for the canceled concert at the same time.
Forced to a bed rest, Robbie Williams posted a picture of him on a drip. The Take That member had a serious bout of food poisoning which caused him to lose a large amount of fluid. The band consequently had to cancel their concert in Copenhagen, Denmark.
"Hey folks. Thank you for your messages and love. I'm not completely out of the woods yet but feeling much better. Gutted for everyone involved with the tour. Feeling dreadful for letting the fans down. I'm so, so sorry. Here's me and my drip," Robbie wrote along with the pic.
The band's appearance at Denmark's Parken Stadium was due to take place on Saturday, July 16 but Robbie had the food poisoning the day before. Words are, he ate a grilled Danish black lobster with lobster salad and saffron aioli. "It hasn't been pretty," a source told The Sun. "It's all down to a dodgy lobster he ate at a hotel. Jason and Mark wanted to go ahead and do it without him, so as not to let down the fans. But there was something to do with the insurance that stopped them."
The band said they were "truly devastated" of the cancellation, adding, "It was a horrible decision and one we agonized over." This is the first time in their entire career as a group that a concert is canceled. The band were expected to resume the tour in Amsterdam on Monday, July 18.

The Man Trip Code
Before getting too deep into planning, know the code. And make sure everyone else is on board, too.
1. Travel to a place you've never been before. Life's too short to recycle spots.
2. Bros only. It's gonna get weird, so it's best not to bring outsiders.
3. No phone calls home to girlfriends, wives, and especially not moms.
4. Go big or stay home.
5. Nonstop verbal abuse, shit-talk, and foul language are required.
6. Eat as much meat as possible, even you vegetarians.
7. No showering, shaving, or complaining allowed.
8. Always help dig out a stuck bro's sled.
9. What happens on the man trip stays on the man trip. No Instagram.
The Big Four: Crew, Location, Riding, And Food
Get these four key factors dialed and your trip will rip.
Assembling the right crew is the most important factor. As the code mandates, it's bros only. No crybabies, no pretty boys, and no dead weight dudes who can't add something to the mix. You need at least one who can fix a sled, one guy who can cook, another who can break trail or lead the crew. Make sure you cover all the bases. One poorly picked dude in the crew can turn your trip of a lifetime into a backcountry stress fest. Choose only like-minded pirates and you should be good.
Go to Canada. Yes, there are a lot of other places you can go, but "Beautiful British Columbia" is the promised land. It offers the best combination of terrain, sled access, consistent snow, and backcountry cabin options. From the video-worthy sled zones surrounding Whistler to the Kootenays to Revelstoke, and all points east along the Powder Highway, BC is the best bet. This region also has really good beer, a factor that should never be overlooked.
If Canada isn't an option, go here: [twsnow.com link to other cabins/zones]
The riding is the reason you're on the trip. Be sure that wherever you end up, there's plenty of shit to session. Ideal spots will offer terrain variety with exposed alpine, cliffs, pillows, gullies, and sheltered tree zones all within close proximity. As a grown-ass man you should know that the odds of snorkeling through fresh powder every day of the man trip are slim. It's always possible but be prepared to get creative. With a good crew, even shit conditions won't put a damper on the good times. Building booters, trannies up trees, tow-ins, even a gap jump over the fire pit should suffice. The point is to ride. So ride every day and ride everything.
A wise man once said, "Do not go shy into the land of plenty." What that means is, eat steak for breakfast. Bring way more food than you think you'll need. Unless this is your first rodeo, you know food is a huge piece of the puzzle. You'll be far from civilization, so you don't want to forget anything. Plus you'll be going hard all day and spending long nights loafing in a cabin with little else to do but eat and drink. You want to be prepared for this. Plan a menu, coordinate group meals, and no matter what, overdo it.

Just three weeks ago, Denard Robinson was the favorite for the Heisman Trophy and Michigan was 5-0. The sophomore has been slowed by knee and shoulder injuries in two losses, but Wolverines coach Rich Rodriguez says a week off has his quarterback ready to go for Saturday's game at Penn State.
"Every guy approaches (injury) a little bit differently," Rodriguez was quoted by the Detroit Free Press. "He's a very tough-minded individual, a tough guy. If our guys are injured, they need to let us know and, most of the time, the trainers let us know. Some guys can tolerate a little more pain than others. Denard can tolerate a lot of pain. His issue with the last ballgame wasn't the knee, it was the shoulder. It just needed some rest. He needed some rest and ... we got that last weekend."
Through five games, Robinson led the nation in rushing and had thrown just one interception. In losses to Michigan State and Iowa, he was held to just 191 yards on the ground and had four interceptions.
The two-game losing streak is similar to last year's 4-0 start which was followed by seven losses in eight games. Another poor finish could lead to Rodriguez's removal after three seasons in Ann Arbor.
If Robinson can't make it through the game against Penn State, Michigan can turn to backup Tate Forcier, who led the Wolverines to three fourth-quarter touchdowns against the Hawkeyes two weeks ago.

About the Book
Over thousands of years of living and traveling on the ocean and inland waterways of what is now called Maine and the Maritime Provinces, the Wabanaki people developed a highly evolved, perfectly adapted type of birchbark canoe for this area. Wabanaki, or "People of the Dawn Land," is the collective designation given to the Penobscot, Passamaquoddy, Maliseet, Mi'kmaq, and Abenaki tribes.
Following my passion to research, study, build, document, and paddle the most beautiful canoe to grace the northern waters, I would like to share with you this compilation of teachings and knowledge pertaining to the building and paddling of these traditional Native canoes of the Maritime Region.

I'm not really a tattoo girl. That might be an understatement: the notion of a tattoo terrifies me. Not because I hate needles or pain—I'm not exactly fond of either, but they don't bother me especially. But getting a tattoo is decision making that is way too far down the scale of permanence. I shudder when people suggest I will someday want to buy a house and that would be something I could sell. Sure, laser tattoo removal exists, but I'm not sure I would ever elect to do anything to my body that requires being burned off with a laser if I change my mind. It's not quite that I'm fickle, though it is true that I've hated virtually every pair of shoes I've ever bought within two weeks of purchase, but more that I'm the sort of person who is paralyzed by the question: What is your favorite X? Or even, What are your top ten Y? If you want to ask me that question, you'd better be prepared to give me paper, a pencil, and 24 hours to answer you.
I know who I am, but choosing something to visually represent that to others, something I'll remain connected to and proud of displaying, for years of my life? That's daunting. I'm simply not up for the task. But these people are, by golly. They not only know what their favorite books or lines from books are, but they have happily permanently affixed them to their bodies. Leaving aside that I'm not a tattoo girl, let's envision the weirdest possible mugging: if someone put a gun to my head, I couldn't think of a single image or line from literature that I'd want to identify myself by to the world. There are those that I love, certainly. I embrace Judith Viorst's classic children's book so much that I'm slightly bitter when my 5-year-old nephew beats me to declaring that "It was a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day." But I wouldn't put that on my body, certainly. The final lines of The Great Gatsby are gorgeous, but again kind of bleak. The best lines in literature are often insightful about things that are more dismal than celebratory. Tolstoy's observation on unhappy families is true and brilliant, but I think that tattoo might be perceived as a cry for help! And much as I love plenty of childhood books, I don't quite have the personality for the cartoon embrace of kidhood writ across my skin. So I guess I'd just have to call that mugger's bluff and see how it goes. Or at least ask him to make it multiple choice.
What about you? Any literary tattoos adorning your skin? Or any you hope to get? Or would if you ever found yourself at gunpoint?

From the perfect massage to the best place to drink, see where model Sigrid Agren hangs out off the runway.
Sigrid's birthday was in March, but Sigrid day in the calendar is in September.
Olof Sktkonung, the son of Eric and Sigrid, succeeded his father.
He and Sigrid had a long talk together, and I saw her put her arms round his neck; she seemed well pleased to greet him.
"It must be splendid to be a big boy and go to your school," continued Sigrid.
"I'll bring you a gingerbread goat," said Sigrid to little Anders as she started for the Christmas market with her mother.
I am afraid you will be getting as impatient for the Christmas tree as Sigrid.
As soon as Sigrid saw the concourse which was out to meet them she drew the curtains, and was immediately in Gunnar's arms.
"Father has promised to teach Erik how to sail this summer," said Sigrid.
"No two of those girls are dressed alike," continued Sigrid, who was still interested in costumes.

Exploring the landscape of large scale conformational changes such as protein folding at atomistic detail poses a considerable computational challenge. Coarse-grained representations of the peptide chain have therefore been developed and over the last decade have proved extremely valuable. These include topology-based Gō models, which constitute a smooth and funnel-like approximation to the folding landscape. We review the many variations of the Gō model that have been employed to yield insight into folding mechanisms. Their success has been interpreted as a consequence of the dominant role of the native topology in folding. The role of local contact density in determining protein dynamics is also discussed and is used to explain the ability of Gō-like models to capture sequence effects in folding and elucidate conformational transitions.
Advancing our understanding of biology in the 21st century will involve the structural and dynamical characterization of the countless molecular interactions in the cell. Much can be learned of the structural and dynamical properties of proteins, the workhorses of the cell, from their folding energy landscape. Molecular simulation has emerged as a valuable tool for the detailed exploration of the thermodynamic landscape responsible for guiding the unfolded ensemble through a collection of high energy intermediate structures in order to achieve the proper native structure. We examine recent insights obtained from a simple class of coarse-grained simulation methods for landscape characterization, known as Gō models.
Protein folding is a complex process involving large numbers of degrees of freedom. Therefore, performing traditional molecular dynamics simulations at atomistic detail poses a challenge if one wishes to exhaustively explore the folding landscape of a moderately sized protein with finite computational resources. For this reason coarse-grained representations of the polypeptide chain have been employed in folding simulations. Rather than representing each atom in the protein explicitly groups of atoms can be treated as a single coarse-grained site. In the most common variation, each residue corresponds to a single coarse-grained site placed at the alpha carbon [
Early coarse-grained models of folding employed the HP recipe, in which hydrophobic residues interact with a constant favorable contact energy (denoted ε) and polar residues either don't interact or are repulsive. HP models enjoyed limited success as they predicted degenerate global energy minima and failed to identify the unique native state [
In lieu of a coarse-grained model with physically accurate nonbonded interactions, simplistic Gō models have been applied to the study of folding mechanisms with considerable success. An attractive term of the Lennard-Jones variety [
Energy landscape theory posits that proteins have evolved a smooth and funnel-like thermodynamic landscape biased toward the native state, allowing them to fold to a unique stable structure on biological timescales [
The reduced degrees of freedom in a coarse-grained representation enable one to exhaustively explore the thermodynamic landscape for folding using standard molecular simulation techniques. In particular, high energy regions of conformational space can be characterized such as the transition state or folding intermediate(s) using either brute-force searching at the folding transition temperature or umbrella sampling with carefully chosen biasing restraints [
Experimental phi-values have been compared in the literature with predictions from simple Cα Gō models for a rapidly growing number of proteins [
Over the last decade the folding community has emphasized the native topology as the main determinant of folding behavior [
Methods have been employed for extending simple Gō models to examine sequence effects in folding. Rather than weighting native contacts equally by assigning the same interaction energy ε to all contacts, energetic heterogeneity can be introduced by scaling residue-residue interactions according to physically motivated criteria. Native interactions have been optimized in Src-SH3, CI2, protein G and S6 using thermodynamic perturbation data from mutation experiments [
Energetic heterogeneity adds ruggedness to the folding landscape and, more importantly, allows for the investigation of sequence effects in, for example, the folding of proteins with identical topology. The MJ-flavored model of Karanicolas and Brooks was used to investigate symmetry breaking in protein L and protein G, two proteins that share a common topology consisting of N- and C-terminal β-hairpins and a central α-helix. The balance between enthalpic interactions and chain entropy was observed to lead to N-terminally nucleated folding in protein L and C-terminal nucleation in protein G, consistent with experimental findings [
While Clementi
While CheY and NtrC contain an alanine-rich C-terminal cavity that is dynamic in the unphosphorylated state and important for function, in Spo0F this region is filled in with bulkier residues such as isoleucine and exhibits rigidity, having lost the C-terminal conformational allostery of its evolutionary homologs [
Simulation results are in accord with experimental analysis of the three homologs; the kinetics of folding were found to be slowest in Spo0F, suggesting an interesting relationship between function and folding mechanism in the CheY family [
The role of contact density in dictating protein folding and dynamics is increasingly being recognized. Contact density has been used to explain B-factors [
The role of native contacts in protein dynamics is best appreciated in the context of elastic network normal mode analysis (EN-NMA). To calculate vibrational modes in large systems proteins can be represented as an elastic network of Cα-beads in which residues within a cutoff distance experience harmonic interactions. The lowest frequency normal modes of vibration are then easily computed for the elastic network model. Often, a single or small subset of low frequency vibrations has been shown to reproduce the large amplitude structural rearrangements associated with biological function [
A disadvantage of EN-NMA is that 'closed' to 'open' conformational transitions cannot be observed as they would involve the breaking of harmonic bonds in the network. Alternative methods exist for computing the minimum free energy path between two conformational states based on interpolation between the two reference elastic networks for each state. Optimization algorithms can be employed to find between the two global minima either a single minimum energy pathway [
The pervasive role of contact density can explain the robustness of the many varieties of Gō models that have been used to study folding. The results obtained with a Gō model are sensitive to the model parameters and various energy functional forms used [
Sulkowska and Cieplak recently compared a total of 62 different variations of the Gō potential in reproducing the experimental mechanical unfolding data of 28 proteins [
Current non-Gō coarse-grained models depend on some form of secondary structure restraints to ensure native state stability [

A weekend fishing trip turned to tragedy for four Queensland mates when one man fell overboard and their camp was destroyed by fire.
Lawrence Martin, Herb Pollitt, Brian Berginey and his father, Ron, headed out for a weekend of fishing and camping to Coconut Creek, near Koumala, on Queensland's central coast on Saturday.
Lawrence, 74, and Herb, 86, had been fishing the creek for the better part of 50 years. Up to six times a year, the old work mates would drive a tractor out to the remote fishing spot on Kelvin Station, set up camp and jump in a tinnie. The pair chased bream, flathead and cod in the muddy estuaries of Cape Palmerston National Park.
In more recent years, Brian, 51, and Ron, 77, had joined the two men to help them set up camp and launch the tinnies. ''Brian would often say he was taking Dad's Army out fishing,'' his mother, Beryl, said. ''When they set out on Saturday morning they were all so excited they were like children, because they hadn't been fishing for so long.''
The four began fishing on Saturday afternoon. They set out in pairs in separate boats, in different parts of the creek.
But tragedy struck when the motor of the boat Lawrence and Herb were travelling in became tangled in a crab pot line sometime between 2pm and 3pm.
Herb jumped into the water to untangle the motor and got stuck in the mud. Lawrence threw out the anchor while trying to help his friend, but then fell overboard.
Nearly three hours passed before Brian and Ron went looking for the other men.
''I said to dad, 'well we've had enough I'll go and see what the fellas are doing because they'll be ready to go to the camp … and have tea and a few beers','' Brian said.
''I went up the creek looking for them and found the empty boat. When I looked further, I found Herb underneath the back of it.
''Herb was in trauma when I got to him, because he'd already been three hours in the water.''
Brian searched for Lawrence, but after finding no sign of his fishing buddy, he decided to call for help.
The three men travelled back to the campsite, only to find their two four-wheel-drives and camp had been destroyed by grassfire.
''A fire had got away and burnt the whole camp out,'' Brian said. ''The vehicles and everything were destroyed.''
Rural fire crews helped extinguish the blaze with the help of station owner Lloyd Riley, while police set out searching for Lawrence, whose body was found in the creek at 11am on Sunday.
