of the Garden City Broncbusters basketball team. And when the announcer asked everyone to stand for the national anthem, he dutifully joined the crowd and stood at attention.

That’s when he noticed a lone player seated on a bench at courtside – Rasool Samir, a 19-year-old Muslim red-shirt.

It was unusual because there’s a team rule that the entire basketball team was supposed to stay inside the locker room until after the national anthem had concluded.

But as the crowd began singing about the bombs bursting in air and the rocket’s red glare, the Muslim basketball player grabbed a ball, walked onto the court and began shooting baskets.

“It was an ‘in your face slam,’” he said.

Mr. Howard decided enough was enough. He was tired of people disrespecting the national anthem. SoThe xyloglucan-cellulose assembly at the atomic scale.
The assembly of cell wall components, cellulose and xyloglucan (XG), was investigated at the atomistic scale using molecular dynamics simulations. A molecular model of a cellulose crystal corresponding to the allomorph Ibeta and exhibiting a flexible complex external morphology was employed to mimic the cellulose microfibril. The xyloglucan molecules considered were the three typical basic repeat units, differing only in the size of one of the lateral chain. All the investigated XG fragments adsorb nonspecifically onto cellulose fiber; multiple arrangements are equally probable, and every cellulose surface was capable of binding the short XG molecules. The following structural effects emerged: XG molecules that do not have any long side chains tended to adapt themselves nicely to the topology of the microfibril, forming
