NOTE: This is a three disc game, but it only counts as one disc against your rental plan.
When an asteroid crashed into Earth, you thought you were one of the lucky ones. Deemed critical for humanity's survival and blasted into space before impact, you suddenly awake back on Earth. The only thing that's certain is that the world you left is gone. This unnerving FPS from the makers of Quake and Doom sends you into a vast wasteland. Battle mutants, fight off scavenger gangs, and do your best to evade the Authority, the government regime that really wants to find you. Eerie clues lurk in the environment, enough to tell you that something really messed up happened here. Try and survive long enough to find out what it was.

I think that Rage is a absolute feat of engineering. The graphics, enemy animations, and gunplay make it probably the best shooter experience to date. iD and John Carmack have always raised the bar each time they release a new game. They set the standards in graphics and gameplay.

Company leaders around the world want their companies to be healthy and ultimately wealthy. What is often times overlooked is that a wealthy company begins with promoting a healthy lifestyle and healthy employees. As a leader in your company you have the chance to change lives. Promoting a healthy lifestyle can benefit both your employees and your business.
Here at Appletree, employees are provided with many healthy living options, both during work hours and personal hours. Our offices are located in buildings where they receive a great deal of natural sunlight. Offices that have been acquired by Appletree have been or will be moved into naturally lit environments. Along with natural sunlight, each employee station is setup with the very best Aeron chairs, foot pedestals, wrist guards, and the ability to turn into a standing desktop. Appletree also offers weekly deliveries of fruit, discounts on gym memberships, and yearly flu shots.
Every January Appletree Answers hosts a Biggest Loser competition. Employees are encouraged to lose weight by eating right and exercising while competing against Appletree owner, John Ratliff. Those who lose a higher percentage of weight than John win a usually hefty prize. Not only does this promote healthy living but also our core values – Spirited Fun, Employees are Critical, and Take Care of Each Other. Since beginning the Biggest Loser contest and yearly flu shots, Appletree has seen significant improvements in attendance.
Simple tips to promote a healthy lifestyle at work:
- Drink one glass of water per hour
- Take a break every hour to stand up and walk around
- Go for a walk on your lunch break
- Have occasional conversations with your coworkers – when allowed
- Bring your lunch, but don't eat at your desk
Whether you are a small business or a large corporation, providing health insurance benefits to your full time and possibly even part time employees can be quite an expense to your bottom line. Encouraging a healthy lifestyle to your employees can help lower medical expenses as well as influence them to be happier and more productive. In turn, this can help your business grow successfully.
What does your company do to promote healthy living and spirited fun?

A team of career counselors and resume writers will spend time with each candidate, reviewing their resumes, making corrections on the spot, and helping candidates decide which direction to pursue in their job searches. The program is for those who are new to the job market, returning to it or have been employed for years.
"The OU Job Board looks forward to working closely with the Memphis community," declared Michael Rosner, Director of the Job Board. "As we are currently in times of economic difficulty and stress, it is important to continue bringing job fairs and other such programs to communities around the country." The OU will also make a community weekend visit to Memphis on February 5-6.
According to Mr. Rosner, the OU Job Board has now presented resume tune-ups in New York, New Jersey and Israel, and now turns to Memphis, Boca Raton, Atlanta, and other communities. Orthodox Union member congregations are present in each of these communities.
The event is open by reservation only on a first-come, first-served basis. To register, go to http://www.ou.org/jobs, email email@example.com or call 212-613-8391. For more information, contact Michael Rosner, Director of the Job Board, at email@example.com.

Excision & Datsik - Deviance (Dirtyphonics remix)
The remix version of Excision's album X Rated has been unleashed. Producers like Lucky Date, Eptic, Far Too Loud and many more remixed a track of this brutal album. Here's the remix of the banger Deviance by the french electro/dubstep/drum'n bass group Dirtyphonics. It's heavy stuff!

Grab a bottle of libations and enjoy your self while socializing with friends or romancing. THE place to be seen during summer sunset.
The Old Bridge upon the Main is on the way from the Residenz to the Marienburg Fortress, on the opposite side of the river. It is a very old stone bridge, with statues of saints and prophets, somewhat like the Charles Bridge in Prague. In a sunny day, the nearby terrasse in Gasthaus Alte Mainmühle offers good views of bridge,... More
I was there during a romantic trip, at the end of october. It was cold, but the sky was clear, and was very nice to cross this bridge. Seems that this place is a spot for happy hour of the locals, so, besides its beauty, was very interesting.
Whenever I am visiting Wuerzberg, this is a must place to visit, regardless of weather. Great ambiance, local residents mixing with travelers, wine by the glas can be purchased at the Muehle, the on or the other musician busker is joining sometimes in the evening .... and not to forget the view and the water of the river Main, as... More
Bridge itself is okay but the energy on it, people drinking wine and music playing, was excellent. The afternoon sunshine made it a perfect hangout.
The view from this bridge is charming and sums up the feel of the medieval city heart of the city. Not to be missed.
We did the walking tour as described by Rick Steves. The Alte Mainbrucke was one of the highlights. The bridge has a romantic feel about it. It is adorned with several large statues that provide for many photo ops. You can even grab a glass of wine to enjoy while you stroll the bridge. No vehicle are allowed on the... More
If you aim your visit for the second weekend in September you will find the Bridge transformed into a trad German eating and drinking area with trestles tables and benches and stalls selling wine, beer and sausages and live bands. The whole city centre is en fete (what's the German for that?).
Walked along this bridge just about sunset - beautiful! The town was having a Winefest, so people were on the bridge sampling, sipping and relaxing.
This really is an old watermill on the river Main adjacent to the old bridge. In good weather you can dine outside on a balcony overlooking the river and the old bridge, which is usually crowded with tourists. Being in the Franconia region of Bavaria I was tempted to have local sausages with sauerkraut and it was delicious washed down... More

These condition might be made somewhat weaker by taking time into account and allowing the simulation of extra memory as long as it is impossible to do it quickly enough. --Pavel Kankovsky aka Peak [ Boycott Microsoft--http://www.vcnet.com/bms ] "Resistance is futile.

Holiday gift giving time is here and the clock is ticking. If you have a creative professional on your shopping list, you'll want to read our holiday gift guide. We've put together a collection of gifts that includes cameras, games, jewelry, and posters for the designers in your life. And it never hurts to get something for yourself, too. Here we go!
- Features: Written by Pamela Pfiffner on May 21, 2012When I was down at Adobe a few weeks back, I wrote about the graphics used in the launch of Creative Suite 6. It turns out I'm not the only one interested in the graphic treatments for not only the marketing of CS6, but also in the products themselves. While the periodic table-style icons are essentially the same as the last few versions, the splash screens of the applications are markedly different. Apparently many of you aren't thrilled with the applications' new looks.
- Features: Written by Pamela Pfiffner on May 18, 2012What better time to round up new typefaces than on Friday. Not only is "Fonts on Friday" alliterative, but showcasing new fonts also seems like a good way to end the week.
The fonts featured in this week's installment have a decidedly '70s vibe. The type and lettering of the '70s often had a look and feel that today we might associate with the social change that started in the '60s. Think of the revival of Cooper Black, a chunky face that looks like it had just been liberated from its girdle. - Features: Written by Pamela Pfiffner on May 17, 2012Last week I wrote about two upcoming products that can be downloaded from Adobe Labs — Muse and Edge. While Edge is still very much in development, Muse is now available for purchase. Muse is a Website-creation tool with a WYSIWYG interface and the process used is much like Adobe InDesign.
- Features: Written by Pamela Pfiffner on May 16, 2012Here's a little-known gem: Adobe has created a free iPad app that lets you learn Photoshop through interactive tutorials. The Tutorial Player for Photoshop includes 12 step-by-step tutorials that teach image-editing tasks.
- Features: Written by Pamela Pfiffner on May 14, 2012Adobe found itself in hot water last week when it announced its plan to help users overcome a security flaw in key Creative Suite 5.5 applications. The solution? Upgrade to CS6. The applications affected — Flash Professional, Illustrator, and Photoshop — have security holes that let hackers take control of your system after you open a malicious file, for example, a .TIF file in Photoshop. Versions 5.5 and earlier on both Mac and Windows are vulnerable.
- Features: Written by Pamela Pfiffner on May 11, 2012What better time to round up new typefaces than on Friday. Not only is "Fonts on Friday" alliterative, but showcasing new fonts also seems like a good way to end the week.
While I love classic and tasteful text typefaces with famous names attached to them like Garamond or Caslon, I also enjoy seeing display fonts that push the boundaries of taste, or at least usefulness. - Features: Written by Pamela Pfiffner on May 10, 2012While at Adobe this week, I was able to gain hands-on experience with Adobe's Creative Suite 6 software for design and for the Web (I didn't attend the day devoted to video). Yesterday I reported on the graphics used to promote CS6. Let's turn to the software. After working with CS6 for two days, I'm convinced that this release is its most impressive in years. Every product has had major additions and some applications have had major overhauls. By the end of two days my head was spinning with possibilities.
- Features: Written by Pamela Pfiffner on May 9, 2012This week I've had the privilege to be at Adobe in San Jose learning Creative Suite 6. Yesterday was the day to learn the design tools, specifically Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign, and a new product called Adobe Muse. (More on the products tomorrow.) The day I arrived at Adobe was the day the Creative Suite 6 shipped and made available for purchase. The atmosphere at Adobe was what's best described as exhilarated yet exhausted. In the front lobby were cupcakes decorated with the logos of CS6 products. The cupcake selection was picked over. Only one tired CS6 suite cupcake remained.
- Features: Written by Pamela Pfiffner on May 8, 2012As part of the launch of Creative Suite 6, Adobe reported the results of a study it commissioned about creativity in global economies. The study, entitled State of Create, sought to discover the attitudes people have about creativity and the extent to which they feel they are able to express their creativity.

It stood about midway down an unusually narrow by-street off the Strand.
A tumble-down archway, leaning to one side like a lame hen, gave access to a dark passage, dank with moisture, whereon the door of the house gave some eighteen feet up on the left.
The unpaved street, undrained and unutterably filthy, was ankle-deep in mud, even at the close of this hot August day. Down one side a long blank wall, stone-built and green with mildew, presented an unbroken frontage: on the other the row of houses with doors perpetually barred, and windows whereon dust and grit had formed effectual curtains against prying eyes, added to the sense of loneliness, of insecurity, of unknown dangers lurking behind that crippled archway, or beneath the shadows of the projecting eaves, whence the perpetual drip-drip of soot water came as a note of melancholy desolation.
From all the houses the plaster was peeling off in many places, a prey to the inclemencies of London winters; all presented gray facades, with an air of eeriness about their few windows, flush with the outside wall--at one time painted white, no doubt, but now of uniform dinginess with the rest of the plaster work.
There was a grim hint about the whole street of secret meetings, and of unavowable deeds done under cover of isolation and of darkness, whilst the great crooked mouth of the archway disclosing the blackness and gloom of the passage beyond, suggested the lair of human wild beasts who only went about in the night.
As a rule but few passers-by availed themselves of this short and narrow cut down to the river-side. Nathless, the unarmed citizen was scared by these dank and dreary shadows, whilst the city watchman, mindful of his own safety, was wont to pass the mean street by.
Only my Lord Protector's new police-patrol fresh to its onerous task, solemnly marched down it once in twenty-four hours, keeping shoulder to shoulder, looking neither to right nor left, thankful when either issue was once more within sight.
But in this same evening in August, 1657, it seemed as if quite a number of people had business in Bath Street off the Strand. At any rate this was specially noticeable after St. Mary's had struck the hour of nine, when several cloaked and hooded figures slipped, one after another, some singly, others in groups of two or three, into the shadow of the narrow lane.
They all walked in silence, and did not greet one another as they passed; some cast from time to time furtive looks behind them; but every one of these evening prowlers seemed to have the same objective, for as soon as they reached the crippled archway, they disappeared within the gloom of its yawning mouth.
Anon when the police-patrol had gone by and was lost in the gloom there where Bath Street debouches on the river bank, two of these heavily cloaked figures walked rapidly down from the Strand, and like the others slipped quickly under the archway, and made straight for the narrow door on the left of the passage.
This door was provided with a heavy bronze knocker, but strangely enough the newcomers did not avail themselves of its use, but rapped on the wooden panels with their knuckles, giving three successive raps at regular intervals.
They were admitted almost immediately, the door seemingly opening of itself, and they quickly stepped across the threshold.
Within the house was just as dark and gloomy as it was without, and as the two visitors entered, a voice came from out the shadows, and said, in a curious monotone and with strange irrelevance:
"The hour is late!"
"And 'twill be later still," replied one of the newcomers.
"Yet the cuckoo hath not called," retorted the voice.
"Nor is the ferret on the prowl," was the enigmatic reply. Whereupon the voice speaking in more natural tones added sententiously:
"Two flights of steps, and 'ware the seventeenth step on the first flight. Door on the left, two raps, then three."
"Thank you, friend," rejoined one of the newcomers, "'tis pleasant to feel that so faithful a watch guards the entrance of this palace of pleasure."
Thereupon the two visitors, who of a truth must have been guided either by instinct or by intimate knowledge of the place, for not a gleam of light illumined the entrance hall, groped their way to a flight of stone stairs which led in a steep curve to the upper floors of the house.
A rickety banister which gave ominously under the slightest pressure helped to guide the visitors in this utter darkness: but obviously the warning uttered by that mysterious challenging voice below was not superfluous, for having carefully counted sixteen steps in an upward direction, the newcomers came to a halt, and feeling their way forward now with uttermost caution, their feet met a yawning hole, which had soon caused a serious accident to a stranger who had ventured thus far in ignorance of pitfalls.
A grim laugh, echoed by a lighter one, showed that the visitors had encountered only what they had expected, and after this brief episode they continued their journey upwards with a firmer sense of security; a smoky oil lamp on the first floor landing guided their footsteps by casting a flickering light on the narrow stairway, whereon slime and filth crept unchecked through the broken crevices between the stones.
But now as they advanced, the silence seemed more broken: a distinct hum as of many voices was soon perceptible, and anon a shrill laugh, followed by another more deep in tone, and echoed by others which presently died away in the distance.
By the time the two men had reached the second floor landing these many noises had become more accentuated, also more distinct; still muffled and subdued as if proceeding from behind heavy doors, but nevertheless obvious as the voices of men and women in lively converse.
The newcomers gave the distinctive raps prescribed by their first mentor, on the thick panels of a solid oak door on their left.
The next moment the door itself was thrown open from within; a flood of light burst forth upon the gloomy landing from the room beyond, the babel of many voices became loud and clear, and as the two men stood for a moment beneath the lintel a veritable chorus of many exclamations greeted them from every side.
"Walterton! begad!"
"And Overbury, too!"
"How late ye come!"
"We thought ye'd fallen a victim to Noll's myrmidons!"
It was of a truth a gay and merry company that stood, and moved, chatted and laughed, within the narrow confines of that small second-floor room in the gloomy house in Bath Street.
The walls themselves were dingy and bare, washed down with some grayish color, which had long since been defaced by the grime and dust of London. Thick curtains of a nondescript hue fell in straight folds before each window, and facing these there was another door--double paneled--which apparently led to an inner room.
But the place itself was brilliantly illuminated with many wax candles set in chandeliers. These stood on the several small tables which were dotted about the room.
These tables--covered with green baize, and a number of chairs of various shapes and doubtful solidity were the only furniture of the room, but in an arched recess in the wall a plaster figure holding a cornucopia, from whence fell in thick profusion the plaster presentments of the fruits of this earth, stood on an elevated pedestal, which had been draped with crimson velvet.
The goddess of Fortune, with a broken nose and a paucity of fingers, dominated the brilliant assembly, from the height of her crimson throne. Her head had been crowned with a tall peaked modish beaver hat, from which a purple feather rakishly swept over the goddess's left ear. An ardent devotee had deposited a copper coin in her extended, thumbless hand, whilst another had fixed a row of candle stumps at her feet.
There was nothing visible in this brilliantly lighted room of the sober modes to which the eye of late had become so accustomed. Silken doublets of bright and even garish colors stood out in bold contrast against the gray monotone of the walls and hangings. Fantastic buttons, tags and laces, gorgeously embroidered cuffs and collars edged with priceless Mechlin or d'Alençon, bunches of ribands at knee and wrists, full periwigs and over-wide boot-hose tops were everywhere to be seen, whilst the clink of swords against the wooden boards and frequent volleys of loudly spoken French oaths, testified to the absence of those Puritanic fashions and customs which had become the general rule even in London.
Some of the company sat in groups round the green-topped tables whereon cards or dice and heaps of gold and smaller coins lay in profusion. Others stood about watching the games or chatting to one another. Mostly men they were, some old, some young--but there were women too, women in showy kirtles, with bare shoulders showing well above the colverteen kerchief and faces wherein every line had been obliterated by plentiful daubs of cosmetics. They moved about the room from table to table, laughing, talking, making comments on the games as these proceeded.
The men apparently were all intent--either as actual participants or merely as spectators--upon a form of amusement which His Highness the Lord Protector had condemned as wanton and contrary to law.
The newcomers soon divested themselves of their immense dark cloaks, and they, too, appeared in showy apparel of silk and satin, with tiny bows of ribands at the ends of the long curls which fell both sides of their faces, and with enormous frills of lace inside the turned-over tops of their boots.
Lord Walterton quite straddled in his gait, so wide were his boot tops, and there was an extraordinary maze of tags and ribands round the edge of Sir James Overbury's breeches.
"Make your game, gentlemen, make your game," said the latter as he advanced further into the room. And his tired, sleepy eyes brightened at sight of the several tables covered with cards and dice, the guttering candles, the mountains of gold and small coin scattered on the green baize tops.
"Par Dieu! but 'tis a sight worth seeing after the ugly sour faces one meets in town these days!" he added, gleefully rubbing his beringed hands one against the other.
"But where is our gracious hostess?" added Lord Walterton, a melancholy-looking young man with pale-colored eyes and lashes, and a narrow chest.
"You are thrice welcome, my lord!" said Editha de Chavasse, whose elegant figure now detached itself from amongst her guests.
She looked very handsome in her silken kirtle of a brilliant greenish hue, lace primer, and high-heeled shoes--relics of her theatrical days; her head was adorned with the bunches of false curls which the modish hairdressers were trying to introduce. The plentiful use of cosmetics had obliterated the ravages of time and imparted a youthful appearance to her face, whilst excitement not unmixed with apprehension lent a bright glitter to her dark eyes.
Lord Walterton and Sir James Overbury lightly touched with their lips the hand which she extended to them. Their bow, too, was slight, though they tossed their curls as they bent their heads in the most approved French fashion. But there was a distinct note of insolence, not altogether unmixed with irony, in the freedom with which they had greeted her.
"I met de Chavasse in town to-day," said Lord Walterton, over his shoulder before he mixed with the crowd.
"Yes! he will be here to-night," she rejoined. Sir James Overbury also made a casual remark, but it was evident that the intention and purpose of these gay gentlemen was not the courteous entertainment of their hostess. Like so many men of all times and all nations in this world, they were ready enough to enjoy what she provided for them--the illicit pastime which they could not get elsewhere--but they despised her for giving it them, and cared naught for the heavy risks she ran in keeping up this house for their pleasure.

(CNN) - Concussions are nothing to fool with. We're finding out that a serious bump to the head can lead to long lasting health problems if not addressed.
That means if you're an athlete with a concussion, you need to be off the field until you mend.
And if you're a student athlete, you may need to stay out of the classroom for awhile as well.
Concussions are common occurrences in athletics, and experts recommend any player who suffers a head injury rest up.
A new report from the American Academy of Pediatrics finds a concussion should not only take student athletes out of play, it could also keep some of them out of school.
Authors of the report said young people who suffer from concussions can appear physically normal in class, but when it comes to school work, they may have trouble learning new things and remembering what they learned.
Researchers also warn returning to school too quickly after a head injury could worsen the symptoms of a concussion.
Studies show it usually takes about three weeks for a school-aged athlete to recover from a concussion.
The new report recommends if symptoms to the concussion are severe, some children may need to stay home from school within that time period.
If the symptoms are mild, parents may consider sending their child back to school, with a few adjustments to their schedule.
In all cases, the length of time should be discussed with the child's pediatrician.

Delay of Influenza Hemagglutinin Refolding into a Fusion-Competent Conformation by Receptor Binding: A Hypothesis
Biophysical Journal, Volume 79, Issue 3, 1 September 2000, Pages 1415-1427
Eugenia Leikina, Ingrid Markovic, Leonid V. Chernomordik and Michael M. Kozlov
AbstractTwo subunits of influenza hemagglutinin (HA), HA1 and HA2, represent one of the best-characterized membrane fusion machines. While a low pH conformation of HA2 mediates the actual fusion, HA1 establishes a specific connection between the viral and cell membranes via binding to the sialic acid-containing receptors. Here we propose that HA1 may also be involved in modulating the kinetics of HA refolding. We hypothesized that binding of the HA1 subunit to its receptor restricts the major refolding of the low pH-activated HA to a fusion-competent conformation and, in the absence of fusion, to an HA-inactivated state. Dissociation of the HA1-receptor connection was considered to be a slow kinetic step. To verify this hypothesis, we first analyzed a simple kinetic scheme accounting for the stages of dissociation of the HA1/receptor bonds, inactivation and fusion, and formulated experimentally testable predictions. Second, we verified these predictions by measuring the extent of fusion between HA-expressing cells and red blood cells. Three experimental approaches based on 1) the temporal inhibition of fusion by lysophosphatidylcholine, 2) rapid dissociation of the HA1-receptor connections by neuraminidase treatment, and 3) substitution of membrane-anchored receptors by a water-soluble sialyllactose all provided support for the proposed role of the release of HA1-receptor connections. Possible biological implications of this stage in HA refolding and membrane fusion are being discussed.

Structural Studies of the Parainfluenza Virus 5 Hemagglutinin-Neuraminidase Tetramer in Complex with Its Receptor, Sialyllactose
Structure, Volume 13, Issue 5, 1 May 2005, Pages 803-815
Ping Yuan, Thomas B. Thompson, Beth A. Wurzburg, Reay G. Paterson, Robert A. Lamb and Theodore S. Jardetzky
SummaryThe paramyxovirus hemagglutinin-neuraminidase (HN) functions in virus attachment to cells, cleavage of sialic acid from oligosaccharides, and stimulating membrane fusion during virus entry into cells. The structural basis for these diverse functions remains to be fully understood. We report the crystal structures of the parainfluenza virus 5 (SV5) HN and its complexes with sialic acid, the inhibitor DANA, and the receptor sialyllactose. SV5 HN shares common structural features with HN of Newcastle disease virus (NDV) and human parainfluenza 3 (HPIV3), but unlike the previously determined HN structures, the SV5 HN forms a tetramer in solution, which is thought to be the physiological oligomer. The sialyllactose complex reveals intact receptor within the active site, but no major conformational changes in the protein. The SV5 HN structures do not support previously proposed models for HN action in membrane fusion and suggest alternative mechanisms by which HN may promote virus entry into cells.

Drug design against a shifting target: a structural basis for resistance to inhibitors in a variant of influenza virus neuraminidase

SummaryBackground: Inhibitors of the influenza virus neuraminidase have been shown to be effective antiviral agents in humans. Several studies have reported the selection of novel influenza strains when the virus is cultured with neuraminidase inhibitors in vitro. These resistant viruses have mutations either in the neuraminidase or in the viral haemagglutinin. Inhibitors in which the glycerol sidechain at position 6 of 2-deoxy-2,3-dehydro-N-acetylneuraminic acid (Neu5Ac2en) has been replaced by carboxamide-linked hydrophobic substituents have recently been reported and shown to select neuraminidase variants. This study seeks to clarify the structural and functional consequences of replacing the glycerol sidechain of the inhibitor with other chemical constituents.Results: The neuraminidase variant Arg292→Lys is modified in one of three arginine residues that encircle the carboxylate group of the substrate. The structure of this variant in complex with the carboxamide inhibitor used for its selection, and with other Neu5Ac2en analogues, is reported here at high resolution. The structural consequences of the mutation correlate with altered inhibitory activity of the compounds compared with wild-type neuraminidase.Conclusions: The Arg292→Lys variant of influenza neuraminidase affects the binding of substrate by modification of the interaction with the substrate carboxylate. This may be one of the structural correlates of the reduced enzyme activity of the variant. Inhibitors that have replacements for the glycerol at position 6 are further affected in the Arg292→Lys variant because of structural changes in the binding site that apparently raise the energy barrier for the conformational change in the enzyme required to accommodate such inhibitors. These results provide evidence that a general strategy for drug design when the target has a high mutation frequency is to design the inhibitor to be as closely related as possible to the natural ligands of the target.

Influenza B virus neuraminidase can synthesize its own inhibitor

† Present address: California Institute of Technology, Division of Biology 156-29, Pasadena, CA 91125, USA.
- Background: Neuraminidase, one of the two surface glycoproteins of influenza virus, cleaves terminal sialic acid residues from glycolipids or glycoproteins. Its crystal structure is known at high resolution, but the mechanism of glycosyl hydrolysis remains unclear.Results: We have determined the crystal structure at 1.8 Å resolution of two complexes of influenza B/Beijing neuraminidase containing either the reaction product, sialic acid, or the transition state analogue inhibitor, 2,3-dehydro-2-deoxy-N-acetylneuraminic acid (DANA). The sialic acid is bound in a distorted 'boat' conformation closely resembling that of bound DANA, stabilized by a conserved tyrosine residue (Tyr408). This distortion also gives rise to a suicidal side reaction that converts sialic acid to DANA at a low rate.Conclusions: The mechanism of neuraminidase action is distinct from that of other known glycosyl hydrolases. Substrate distortion appears to be the driving force in glycosyl bond hydrolysis and the proton required for catalysis can probably be donated by water, rather than by residues in the active site, thus allowing the enzyme to operate at high pH. The side reaction converting sialic acid to DANA appears reasonably favourable, and it is unclear how this is minimized by the enzyme.

Florida drivers are required to carry proof of insurance.
Those who are pulled over in Miami-Dade County and can't show proof of coverage will get a $129 ticket. (It drops to $10 if proof is provided with 30 days that the driver had insurance at the time of the citation.)
Florida's economy is improving, and soon voters will have to decide whether Gov. Rick Scott deserves enough of the credit to be reelected next year.
Scott made jobs his top priority. He said his administration would make efforts leading to 700,000 new jobs over seven years – a number above the economic growth forecast by state economists.
The Madison, Wis., group Freedom From Religion Foundation has brought in a seasonal display for the first-floor rotunda of the Florida Capitol, days after the Florida Prayer Network put up a privately funded nativity scene depicting the birth of Jesus Christ.
The foundation, a non-profit that advocates for non-theists and promotes the separation of church and state, proclaimed its "Bill of Rights nativity" banner as a counter to the nativity scene.
The three-month period ending in September brought almost 23 million visitors to Florida. That's the highest number ever for a third quarter.
The state is on pace to welcome about 95 million tourists in 2013. That would be a record, but shy of the 100-million goal the governor's office was hoping for this year.
And it's not just about the theme parks. Many visitors are hitting Miami, Fort Lauderdale, and Palm Beach from international destinations.
If the state uses projections from the Army Corps of Engineers, policy leaders should be planning for a possible two-foot sea-level rise by 2060.
But so far, it's largely been up to local governments to figure out how to handle higher water.
"Sea-level rise is something that will impact millions of people throughout the state," said Rep. Mark Pafford, D-West Palm Beach. "It's preposterous to think we wouldn't think about that, but in reality, we're not doing a damn thing."
Florida TaxWatch, a nonprofit government watchdog group, is out with its annual list of ways the state can cut costs and be more efficient -- without cutting services.
The report, called Modern Management & Sensible Savings, found $1.2 billion that could potentially be returned to state coffers. Lawmakers could act on the recommendations when they convene for the annual legislative session next spring.
Florida's new unemployment claims system isn't perfect yet, but state leaders say it's less bug-prone.
The Florida Senate Commerce and Tourism Committee got an update Monday on problems with the new system, which launched three weeks ago.
Executive Director Jesse Panuccio runs the Department of Economic Opportunity, which oversees the program for jobless benefits.
He says the kinks have mostly been worked out.
Florida has a new website for unemployment claims, and much like the federal government's health insurance website, it's plagued with problems.
The Reemployment Assistance Connect System – known as CONNECT – is where jobless Floridians must go to file their claims. It's overseen by the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity.
Legislative leaders are joining the fight against an effort to get a medical marijuana proposal on the ballot next year.
Senate President Don Gaetz, R-Destin, and House Speaker Will Weatherford, R-Wesley Chapel, say they will file a brief with the Florida Supreme Court opposing the initiative.
Gaetz sent a memo to the Florida Senate saying he doesn't think the proposal meets legal requirements.
Florida's public-private economic development agency is holding a two-day meeting in Coral Gables this week.
Enterprise Florida (EFI) is a partnership between business and government to lure companies and jobs to the state. It's funded by Florida taxpayers as well as private-sector businesses.
The meeting will include updates from Gov. Rick Scott, EFI President & CEO Gray Swoope, Florida Department of Transportation Secretary Ananth Prasad and "jobs success stories."
Forums are being offered around the country about the Affordable Care Act.
A group calling itself the Obamacare Enrollment Team is providing information and answering questions.
But the people on the team do not work for the federal government, and they're pushing products sold by a South Florida insurance company.
Wendy Nader remembers when her mom started showing obvious signs of Alzheimer's disease.
"I would talk to her on the phone and she would repeat what she had just told me two or three times in one conversation," Nader said. "When she started doing that, it was a huge red flag. It wasn't too long after that, that she started getting lost."
A study measuring the potential economic impact of gambling casinos in Florida has been delayed a month. It was due October 1.
In a letter to legislative leaders, Spectrum Gaming Group requested a new deadline of November 1 to complete the study.
Their request came after state economists questioned the economic models used in the report.

Now that "Burn Notice" has wrapped up seven successful seasons, will a new show step in to send the world a postcard of Miami every week?
The USA Network production ended its run recently while ratings were still strong. Thanks to a worldwide audience, it's likely to live for years in syndication.
But the end of the show, as well as A&E's The Glades and Starz' Magic City this summer, leaves a void in Miami's economy. A lot of folks made money off these productions selling props, renting cars, catering food, cleaning costumes and working on-camera.

How Not to Facebook Stalk Your Ex: Delete His A$%
May 10, 2013 at 3:30PM by
Natasha Burton
Back in the day, all you needed to do to
rid all traces of your ex
from your life was scratch his phone number out of your address book, toss out those old love letters, pull the ribbon out of the mix tape he made you, and turn those hard-copy pics of the two of you into fire kindling. Done and done.
It's a heck of lot easier to move on when there's no more evidence of a past relationship (out of sight, out of mind, right?). But, thanks to modern tech, this is hella hard.
In fact,
researchers at UC Santa Cruz
have been looking into the effect digital possessions have when it comes to break-ups, examining how things like photos, texts, music, and videostored on our computers, phones, and Facebookcan constantly remind us of our exes, sometimes when we least expect it. (Like, you put your iTunes on shuffle and all of a sudden the next song is that Death Cab jam that you and your ex listened to over and over again when you first started dating. And now you're bawling at Starbucks. Awesome.)
The part of the findings I didn't get was that half of the people who participated had kept pics of their ex on their FB pages, computers, and phone. (Are you kidding me with this? That's just asking for it.)
The process of getting rid of all of this stuff is super time consuming and can dredge up old memories, researchers say, but it's well worth it. When my ex and I broke up, one of the first things I did was completely wipe him from my Facebook page. I deleted every damn photo of us that I'd posted and untagged myself from any pic other people posted of us. I blocked him. I blocked his family members. I defriended his fraternity brothers. Yeah, that's right, boyz. I did it.
Sound extreme? Maybe. But I know myself and, to
move on, I needed to completely cut off contact. I didn't want to be temped to
reminisce over old photos
(I even took the files off my computer and put them on an external hard drive) and I didn't want any surprising posts popping up in my news feed, like a photo of him and another chick. While I can still, to this day, recite his cell phone number (after all, I did call it multiple times a day for four years), getting over him was a whole lot easier without being able to Facebook-stalk him and his crew.
So, my stance is, while it might take a while and be kinda painful, doing a digital purge can swiftly get you on the path to post-breakup recovery. Just hit delete, already.

Photos of the Waffen-SSWorld War II provided a wealth of photograph and film material, and the Nazi propaganda machine was quick to capitalize on it. Many units had official war photographers attend them during campaigns and while on leave. Please note: This is only a part of all photos on this site - these are photos that didn't really fit anywhere else. |

Sherman was one of the Civil War's most interesting and complex characters. Certainly he played a major role in the drama. Also he was outspoken about his views, giving us much to analyze about those views and his psyche. As a military leader he seemed to excel in strategy, but often failed in his tactics. What's not to enjoy about discussing such a character? ____________________ "While we live we will cherish, protect and defend her." |

Rewd Adams and the Last Skeptik blasted onto our systems earlier this year with a trio of tremendously promising single releases, first came the rock'n'rolla drop kick "Nukey" followed by the more boom bap persuasive "Bring it Back Ft Dj Mr Thing" completing the hat trick with "Everything's Ok" a light hearted medley of concise lyricism over damn catchy production, with each new cut dropped I become rapidly more interested and eager into what the debut album "How not to make a living" would foretell.
If I was too judge this album of first appearances I would of said to you this was going to be full of boisterous attitude and cockney rhymes all over classic sounding Hip-Hop joints, which in its own sense would have been dope, upon the first complete play through it quickly dawned on me that this wasn't just a debut but an offering of something a little more refined.
First stand out track comes in the form off "So Soulful ft Mai Khalil" catching Rewd on a level headed few verses put together nicely over a chilled out Last Skeptik rendition. "J.O.B" smashes us back into the path of Rewds hype side having a good old dig at the woes of becoming the working class.
The track I've had on repetition since hearing it "Colours" finds Rewd delivering one of the Illest storyboards I've heard in a quick minute. "No More Ft Mia Khalil" once again plays on the more deeper attributes of Rewd's talent. "Monsters" is the only track on the album boasting guest verbal's coming from Little Dee, Stylah, Ramson Badbonez & Awate all of which help close the album with some straight up aggy peakness.
This album is a straight piece of art; Rewd Adams has this Dr. Jekyll Mr Hyde appeal, Balancing deep, thoughtful and clever lyricism with crisp deliverance while hiding this ability to manifest into a complete monster going toe-toe armed with destructive blows. While The Last Skeptik showcases a in-depth understanding of what it takes to create a joint that not only sounds dope but aids to the style of an artist, the guys obviously talented behind the keys creating provoking productions that only aids in the dopeness of this album. The roundness of the album really brings it into its own light Rewd on every track sounds like a veteran, handling everything The Last Skeptik throws at him with calm and collected outcomes. This really is a very solid album with fresh album artwork included. You can grab yourselves a hardcopy Cd HERE.

Because of the various options that are placed before us, we end up getting confused as which insurance coverage to choose. Yes, it is absolutely a challenging thing to estimate the coverage prior to any fatal accident or damage. But, if a person has chosen the right insurance company, then he/she can get the right amount of protection through one of the types of auto insurance coverage.
Let us discuss few facts about auto insurance full coverage and auto insurance liability coverage and find out vital differences between them. If you are a vehicle owner, then you might know how confused you where while choosing the right and suitable one. Well, there are hundreds and thousands of insurance companies in the industry and therefore there is a sea of options for vehicle owners. These days, things are pretty easier and that is because of the online registry and transaction systems.
If you are in an accident and have damaged someone else's car, you are directly liable for the mishap. This means that you have to pay for the damage done to vehicle, property or someone else's life. Auto insurance gives huge protection against such uncertain difficulties. If you have purchased a vehicle on loan and have met with an accident, you may not worry if you have purchased liability coverage auto insurance. Once the accident has occurred, it must be informed to the insurance company if the policy holder wants to claim insurance settlement amount. The insurance company may even pay for the other vehicle's cost or refinance your damaged vehicle.
Now, let us talk about full coverage auto insurance.
Do you know when are you going to meet with an accident? 'No' is the answer from every person as accidents are uncertain and it cannot be predicted by any human or machinery force. Auto insurance is a pre-determined protection given to vehicles that are insured and have well maintained policy. In an accident, damage is not done only to vehicles but, it is dangerous to one's life as well. You may get injured in an accident or you may hit others with your vehicle. Accidents can occur within a blink of an eye, so we must be very careful while driving as well as hold protection through insurance policy. Full coverage auto insurance will cover up the value of the insured vehicle and will also provide medical coverage for the injured driver and passengers. If you are about to choose full coverage or liability coverage auto insurance, you must check out the state laws and then proceed. Different states have different insurance laws.

Anathallo was a band originally from Mt. Pleasant, Michigan and then based in Chicago, Illinois. The band started practicing in the fall of 2000 and played their first show soon afterward. Their name is derived from a Greek word meaning "to renew, refresh or bloom again."[1]
Anathallo released Floating World, their first nationally distributed record, in 2006. The band released a follow-up, entitled Canopy Glow, on Anticon in 2008.[2]
Anathallo was formed in Mt. Pleasant, Michigan, in 2000. The band, led by singer/guitarist Matt Joynt, often consisted of seven or eight members who relentlessly self-promoted, releasing four independent EPs and booking themselves for a reported eighteen national tours.[3]
That year the band released Floating World, a concept album based on a Japanese story called Hana-Saka-Jiji,[4] and relocated to Chicago, Illinois after an offer to be the house band at a city church called Berry United Methodist.[5] The album spawned several songs that were used in television commercials, including "Yuki! Yuki! Yuki!" in a Vick's ad, and "Dokkoise House (With Face Covered)" in an American Express commercial. The income from these licenses allowed the band a less stressful experience pursuing their follow-up album.[6]
In 2008, Canopy Glow was released to critical acclaim. The group, now consisting of a somewhat different line-up, rehearsed the songs from the album in the church they were residents at before recording, a process that they took their time with.[7] The band embarked upon two national tours as the headliners before going on hiatus.
On April 12, 2010, after a long silence from the band, member Bret Wallin addressed the inactivity on his personal blog:
Many of you know me from a past life. One which included month-long van rides, small rooms in the back filled with bottled water, playing Tetris with a trailer and seven people's musical equipment, a dry hoodie over a sweat-filled shirt by the end of each night. So let's put it on the record. It's not as though we put a stake through Anathallo's vampire heart. It's more that we wandered the band back to rest, to let it sleep through the day. And whatever or whoever wakes up in its place, we'll see.[8]
