	Beads and Sea Shells 7
		Conus simply means "cone," and the shells are so named because they are shaped like two cones joined at the base.
		The Conus animal is a carnivore that eats small fish and worms and drills into other shells to eat the animal inside.
		Conus shells are strung up whole, but by far the most common way to use them is to smash off the whorl or body of the shell and use only the spire.

	Conotoxins: a Case for their Cause of the Rapid Evolutionary Radiation of Conus
		The mollusc hunter Conus textile's venom induces peristaltic convulsions in its prey.
		The striking feature of Conus evolution is the large number of species contained in the single genus that only appeared since the extinction of the dinosaurs.
		Also the food types of Conus include polychaete worms, hemichordata, cephalopods, other gastropods, bivalves, fish, and crustacea whereas the entire family of Turridae is limited to polychaete worms, sipunculida, nemertea, and other molluscs (Miller 1989).

	References to Work on Conus Toxins
		Five peptides that elicited excitatory symptomatology, r11a, r11b, r11c, r11d and r11e, were purified from Conus radiatus venom; four were tested on amphibian peripheral axons and shown to elicit repetitive action potentials, consistent with being members of the 'lightning-strike cabal' of toxins that effect instant immobilization of fish prey.
		A parallel analysis of Conus cDNA clones revealed a new class of conotoxin genes that was particularly enriched (with 18 identified paralogues) in a Conus radiatus venom duct library; several C. radiatus clones encoded the excitatory peptides directly characterized from venom.
		The observation that the guts of molluscivorous species of Conus sometimes contain several of their own teeth as well as prey remains suggested that the feeding process differs from that of vermivores and piscivores, particularly that more than one tooth is injected into a single prey organism.

		Pathophysiology: The conus medullaris part of the spinal cord obtains its blood supply primarily from 3 spinal arterial vessels—the anterior median longitudinal arterial trunk and 2 posterolateral trunks.
		In understanding the pathological basis of any disease involving the conus medullaris, keep in mind that this structure constitutes part of the spinal cord (the distal part of the cord) and is in proximity to the nerve roots.
		Cauda equina and conus medullaris syndromes are classified as clinical syndromes of the spinal cord; epidemiological data on the 2 syndromes are often not available separately from the general data on spinal cord injury.

		For a century after its description by Chemnitz in 1777, Conus gloriamaris was known from a relative handful of specimens and it developed a historic notoriety.
		In 1792 it was published that an earnest collector of Conus species, Chris Hwass of Denmark, purchased a Glory of the Seas at auction only to immediately destroy it in an effort to reduce the known population of specimens by one, thus making his other specimen that much more valuable.
		A mid-1800's report testified that the only known locale at which Conus gloriamaris was thought to be found alive was destroyed by earthquake, driving the rare species into extinction and making the known specimens spectacularly valuable.

	Recommendations and Conclusion
		This parcels CONUS theater airlift, which as discussed, degrades the effect of that portion of the mobility system.
		By having a single manager of CONUS airlift, there is a single source to the non-CONUS theaters to turn to for airlift augmentation.
		Align CONUS forces under one combatant commander, consolidate contingency staff and planning processes, establish an appropriate subordinate air mobility commander to the contingency air forces commander, and organize peacetime structures and processes to mirror contingency structures and processes.

		The genes that encode conotoxins are members of large gene families and results from analyses of these gene families show that differences in venom composition among cone snail species are due to a number of mechanisms; these include the rapid adaptive divergence of genes, allelic diversity of conotoxin loci and differential expression of genes.
		Because he is also interested in the factors that influence the diversification of taxa, particularly in the marine realm, he also uses phylogenetic and population genetic methods to examine the evolutionary history and biogeography of Conus.

	Pilot Travel Expenses and Per Diem Update
		For business travel to CONUS destinations in 2002, five MandIE per diem rates apply ¾ $30, $34, $38, $42 and $46, the same as for the tax year 2001 (but see next section for sixth CONUS rate that may apply during the last quarter of 2002).
		Thus, for CONUS business travel in the last quarter of 2002, you may either continue to use the set of MandIE rates applicable for FY 2002 or you may use the new set of MandIE rates applicable for FY 2003; however, you must use only one of these sets of MandIE rates for that quarter.
		In comparing the new CONUS MandIE rates for FY 2003 to the rates for FY 2002, the GSA states that 86% of the rates increased over FY 2002, 12% remained the same, and 2% decreased.
