A dirt road near the northeastern village of Sreberna has been converted into a beginner ski runway. The idea for the facility occurred to Georgi Ivanov, Mayor of Srebarna. "I want tourists to come to Sreberna in winter too, and there are many people who travel long distances to practice the sport," Ivanov said, as cited by Radio Shumen. The nor...

Washington defensive coordinator Nick Holt and two other defensive assistants have been fired two days after the worst defensive performance in Washington history against Baylor in the Alamo Bowl.
The school announced the firing of Holt, linebackers coach Mike Cox and safeties coach Jeff Mills on Saturday. The university says all three had contracts for the 2012 season that will be honored. Holt is to make $650,000.
Washington?s 2011 defense was the worst in school history statistically, capped by giving up 67 points and 777 yards to Baylor in a 67-56 loss in the Alamo Bowl.
Holt has been criticized because of Washington?s defensive decline and the large salary that accompanied his arrival from Southern California before the 2009 season.
Spurrier near record
Steve Spurrier is one of two football coaches to win 10 games in a season at South Carolina. With a victory against Nebraska on Monday in the Capital One Bowl, he would become the first to win 11 games at a school that has been playing football for 118 seasons.
?We probably mention it every other word, ?Get the 11th win, get the 11th win,?? spur Damario Jeffery said. ?That?s all we talk about right now. We really want it real bad. [Spurrier] probably wants it more than anybody else. That?ll be a great thing for his legacy to say he turned the program around.?
Joe Morrison coached the Gamecocks to a 10-2 record in 1984.
GNO Inc. Predicts Economic Windfall From Sports Events in New Orleans
Eileen Fleming(2012-01-02)
NEW ORLEANS, LA(WWNO) - Greater New Orleans Incorporated President Michael Hecht says the Sugar Bowl and other upcoming sports events are expected to generate $400 million to the local economy. "Everybody, you know, thinks about the $400 million that's going to be spent right up front. But from my perspective, I would actually even forgo that immediate impact if I knew there was going to be as significant of a long-term brand impact - as, for example, we saw from the Saints' run on the Super Bowl. That, long term, is incredibly important and money - even if we could afford it, couldn't buy it." Hecht says the city has an opportunity to present itself as capable of producing major events, and in a culturally enticing atmosphere. He's most concerned about the city making a good impression on business leaders in the audience. "That's actually incredibly important when we're trying to sell individuals - not only on the business case for moving their business to New Orleans - but also the lifestyle case. So from an economic development perspective, we think actually the long-term brand impact of these events is as important if not more important than the immediate benefit of the hundreds of millions of dollars that's spent." Hecht says at least 160-thousand visitors are expected for upcoming major sporting events - and then there's Mardi Gras. For WWNO, I'm Eileen Fleming. ? Copyright 2012, WWNO
Temperature, entropy and protein bindingPublic release date: 1-Jan-2012 [ | E-mail | Share ]

The binding of proteins to various substrates in a biological system is a basic but essential process to maintain the function of living things. The mechanisms underlying protein binding have been the focus of theoretical and experimental research for many years. Many mechanisms have been proposed and characterized, including "lock and key", "induced fit", "population shift" and "fly-casting". The recently discovered "fly-casting" mechanism allows a protein chain to unfold and extend to reach substrates a long distance away from the protein. This mechanism compensates for diffusive entropy by enlarging the "capture radius" of binding process, and consequently accelerates the binding process.
Based on a theoretical model of fly-casting binding, Dr. Chang and colleagues found that temperature, an important component of the entropic term in free energy, influences the capture radius of fly-casting binding. Their results indicate that the transition temperature of protein folding and unfolding is the most suitable condition for fly-casting binding, since the capture radius is greatest at that temperature. Their work, entitled "Influence of temperature and diffusive entropy on the capture radius of fly-casting binding", was published in SCIENCE CHINA Physics, Mechanics & Astronomy, 2011, 54(12).
According to their theory, free energy contains two components. One is related to protein folding and binding, and the other is related to the diffusion of a protein in space. During binding, the first component of free energy decreases as the protein approaches the specific substrate, while the second component increases. The points at which the two free energy curves crosses defines the capture radius for protein binding. These free energy curves agree with those derived from molecular dynamic simulations.
The capture radius of fly-casting binding could be affected by many factors, including protein binding affinity and limitations of protein folding. Their theory, which introduces a term for diffusive entropy, indicates that environmental temperature, an important entropic factor, also influences the capture radius. The maximum capture radius is obtained at the transition temperature between folding and unfolding. The results represent a balance between the energetic and entropic terms in the free energy function. Their theory and results provide a valuable reference for future research on protein binding.

A little over a week ago, Nokia killed off the Symbian name, instead calling the platform Nokia Belle and, hopefully, letting it die a swift and unencumbered death. And then yesterday we find out that the very same Symbian, is the most popular mobile platform in the whole wide world. More »
