20 Apr 2009 - 18:47waaah! *gets blown back from your screaming* It was nice. :P Although with most games it got a bit repetitive after some time. I'll agree the snow area for the Asmos was incredible. It may have been my favourite spot. I miss playing it a bit too, but I'm kinda glad to take a small break cause the person I met that I played with for 3-4 days kinda went crazy on me just before beta ended. Kinda made things awkward haha.. Btw you got any screenies? :D -

20 Apr 2009 - 18:24I'm quite tempted as well. If you do let me know, maybe I'll join ya. :D I didn't like how Elyos ran either. It looked a bit goofy, but I did like the Asmo running animations for male. The black wings were nice too. I'm not that fond of Elyos wings, but i enjoyed their environment just a tad more. Asmo areas are still beautiful though. So hard to choose. x.x But yeah if you do decide to play let me know. ^^ I bet you'd like a Chanter stalking ya with buffs. ;D Unless you already have a Chanter friend that'll be joining ya. Then screw you. :( -
20 Apr 2009 - 18:16Well, because of my bored friends who were yelling at me at skype that every MMO in this world is ****ing boring (although I agree with them - after having tested around twenty including WAR) and they suck at DotA, we're back to FFXI (which is the only MMO one of them liked... including me). lol -

19 Apr 2009 - 12:03I played as a Chanter and Spiritmaster. I wasn't too find of Spiritmaster at lower levels. They seemed so weak, but Chanter was really fun. I'll probably stick with it on retail. I still can't decide what side to play as. I like Elyos, but most of my friends like Asmo.. I thought the Asmo quests were really annoying.. but at the same time the difficulty level jumped up so quickly for the Elyos missions at 17+. So I don't know what to do. :( -
19 Apr 2009 - 07:39I really only played Cleric a lot, to be honest - I got to level 26. It was a lot of fun. I did get the impression that I sucked though - I kept hearing that clerics were overpowered, but I lost every duel, died a lot in party play as well and the abyss was just a big string of deaths to me. Still fun though. I also played a Scout to level 5, which seemed rather weak and hard to play up until that level. It was probably the lack of actual skills - Scouts are, as far as I know, characters that need strategy and smart skill use, and that doesn;t really work when you have three skills to work with. I'd also like to play the japanese beta a lot ^^; I hope the english patch will work on that as well though - I can listen and speak japanese a bit, but read it I can't. -

18 Apr 2009 - 15:27rawr~ Long time no see! How are things going for you? Did you manage to play CBT as well? -
18 Apr 2009 - 00:45Lunaaaaaaais <3 How are you? I never even got to see in chinese beta x.x Though I was so stupid for some reason to think it was over a day before it was and sell all my gear and give the money to someone who was staying, so I couldn't really play anymore. -
15 Apr 2009 - 12:34Hmmm... sounds good. Maybe I'll try AION when the game actually gets to coming out after all. I don't know. AND YES. POLEARMS ARE FREAKING AWESOME. I don't even know why because in a lot of games, polearms usually suck. Most of the time, because polearms are always two-handed, you have to give up a substantial chunk of defense. And then you either want really quick weapons for a constant stream of DPS or you want a really slow weapon for bursty DPS. But polearms always seem to walk the middle line, being neither slow or fast and usually just get passed up by better alternatives... But there's just something about Pauline-chan. I mean polearms. I sometimes name polearms Pauline. Pauline-chan the polearm. Just kidding. But I / you totally should. -
13 Apr 2009 - 01:17Valkyria is SOOOO GOOD. Go get a PS3 and play it. You will love it. Though I hate that stupid pig mascot thing. And if you need help S-ranking / A-ranking missions, you can ask me for help :P I'm going for all A-rank, while still getting as many leaders and aces, on first playthrough. Its tough as hell though. One mission can take me an entire day of playing ( like 6 hours ) as I figure out what to do. :x Often times, my very last move is at like, the very limit of my character's movement radius ( since you have to finish the mission in fewest possible turns or something; for the ch. 5 mission, you have to do it in 4 turns or less. I managed to do it in 3 while getting all the leaders and aces ). Like if I deviate 10 degrees from a straight line while moving to my goal, I'll fail. Also, how's AION. -
09 Apr 2009 - 16:43You wish! No, Celestin likes cute girls too much for any homocidal rampages. Oops, Celestin spelled homicidal wrong. I honestly thought it was spelled with an "o" and not an "i." :P Iirc, we were talking about computers and I made a quip about male and female ports ( the male port goes into the female port ) and she was like, "they could both be male ports." And I was like, "wtf O_O." And she was like, "yeah, this one would be the uke and this one the seme!" And I was like, "wtf O_o?" And she was like, "the something goes into the other something ( I recently began reading yaoi )." And I was like "wtf! :<" I guess tell me about how your AION adventures go. I'm sure you can manage to make them sound more interesting than they are. And the people who are acting like its the most exciting thing in the world are either lying, are completely new to MMOs or are the easiest marks on earth. We've all played MMOs and furthermore, we all know that no serious MMO isn't going to stray too far from the beaten path. But do make me a list of people who are so easily fooled; I smell an excellent business opportunity here. Haha, I bet a lot of them own Apples too. Buy a new operating system and new textbooks every year! Look, its the new edition! Its totally better than the old one! -
08 Apr 2009 - 19:45Btw, Celestin will never go over the edge. Celestin doesn't even have any edges. Kekekeke. -
08 Apr 2009 - 18:40I SAW THOSE COMMENTS KISMET / LUNAIS. What is wrong with Celestin's presence and why do people need protecting from Celestin!? Celestin is loveable and has no BO and is totally not crazy. None of you are dead or crazy yet! Why would you even think Celestin would go on a homocidal rampage? :< Also, shush you two! I'm working damned hard to keep people thinking Lunais is a girl. Its much more entertaining that way. Besides, Lunais would totally be an uke? Or is it seme? This girl explained it to me a couple of weeks ago, but I seem to have forgotten which is which... not that I really found it necessary to know in the first place... In fact... I think I would've been better off not knowing, not that it matters as it appears I don't know anyway... -- Edit Lunais owes Celestin an email. Also, Celestin is Edit King. Celestin also just got Valkyria Chronicles! Celestin is happy. But the gameplay for VC has a lot of flaws / oversights and just things they could've done better. I also don't like how everything in the game is determined by dice rolls as opposed to just somethings like a standard FPS. And ES is more charming. Though maybe like ES, it just takes some time to get the momentum going. -

08 Apr 2009 - 14:18Aww, having the flu sucks. I wish you the best of health. And no, prom hasn't come around yet. But I pretty sure the day after we'll be going to NYC or something. :P -
~Lady Kismet~
04 Apr 2009 - 19:32Can I tell you something? To be completely honest, because of your avatars and the way you talk, when I initially came across you I just automatically assumed you were a girl. I mean, yeah, I've known for a long while now that that isn't so, but I just thought I'd point it out... for some reason. (aka to reduce the constant presence of Celestin <3) Celestin: "Though the fact that Lunais appears to deem it necessary to protect his sister from Celestin kinda makes me unhappy :<" Of course you should deem it necessary! You should also protect your parents, cousins, uncles, aunts, nieces, nephews, friends, teachers/bosses, classmates/co-workers, neighbors, lover, simple/occasional social associates, and even the rare random passerby -- ANYone and EVERYone when it comes down to Celestin! :3

Wish Upon A Hero, Nathan Norman Charity Truck Wrap
The Story
Nathan Norman is a 6 year old who was diagnosed with cancer at his young age and for Christmas his wish was to receive cards and wishes from the police, EMS, and firefighter departments. His wish was granted and quoted, "Their house is filled with boxes of gifts and cards." – via WishUponAHero Not only did he receive many condolences from the public, firefighters, and police officers, he also received a visit from over 250 police officers driving 12 hours away to also show their support.
Brandywine Volunteer Firefighters
This story not only touched the hearts of the police force, it also caught the attention of the local Brandywine volunteer fire department. Firefighter, Richard Francisco made the initiation to build a monster truck to support this great cause. Richard's idea, "We are building a fire dept monster truck and want to put it out for display. As well as to thank the people who helped with the wrap. It will sport the Brandywine fire dept theme as well as wish upon a Hero and st Jude's center when complete." Along with the completion of this truck, he has also made great steps to get coverage and attention to the cause, truck, and participants involved in this project.
Our Involvement
We met Richard at a local event and were later contacted with this story and project. Also taken by this story, we anxiously became involved in any way possible. Richard voiced his idea of the design of the truck and with the help of N8VCOMP/Arba Graphics/Southern Maryland Wraps and professional designer Russell Bartnick the truck shortly became a reality. The truck uses the tasmanian devil logo and other designs to commemorate the Brandywine volunteer firefighters, Saint Jude's center, and the Wish Upon A Hero foundation for their support in this cause.
Since the completion of the truck it has been mentioned in numerous magazines and media including Maryland Independent. We are honored to be able to be involved in this project and our prayers go out to the Norman family. We thank Richard Francisco and the Brandywine volunteer fire department for the opportunity to be involved.

Cholesterol Content And Domain Formation As Regulators Of PLA2-IIA Activity In Anionic Membranes Biophysical Journal, Volume 96, Issue 3, 1 February 2009, Pages 449a Gustavo A. Arguello, Elena M. Echeverria, Jose A. Monroy and Chad Leidy Full Text | PDF (37 kb) |
Amphipathic Helical Cationic Antimicrobial Peptides Promote Rapid Formation of Crystalline States in the Presence of Phosphatidylglycerol: Lipid Clustering in Anionic Membranes Biophysical Journal, Volume 98, Issue 11, 2 June 2010, Pages 2564-2573 Raquel F. Epand, Lee Maloy, Ayyalusamy Ramamoorthy and Richard M. Epand Abstract Five AHCAPs exhibiting a broad-spectrum of antimicrobial activity, were examined with regard to their action in lipid mixtures with two anionic lipids, PG and CL. We find that all of the peptides studied were capable of promoting the formation of crystalline phases of DMPG in mixtures of DMPG and CL, without prior incubation at low temperatures. This property is indicative of the ability of these peptides to cluster CL away from DMPG. In contrast, the well studied antimicrobial cationic peptide magainin 2 does not cluster anionic lipids. We ascribe the lower anionic lipid clustering ability of magainin to its low density of positive charges compared with the five other AHCAPs used in this work. The peptide MSI-1254 was particularly potent in segregating these two anionic lipids. Consequently, clusters enriched in DMPG appear in a lipid mixture with CL. These can rapidly form higher temperature crystalline phases because of the increased permeability of the bilayer caused by the AHCAPs. The polyaminoacids, poly-L-Lysine and poly-l-arginine are also very effective in causing this segregation. Thus, the clustering of anionic lipids by AHCAPs is not confined only to mixtures of anionic with zwitterionic lipids, but it extends to mixtures containing different anionic headgroups. The resulting effects, however, have different consequences to the biological activity. This finding broadens the scope for which an AHCAP agent will cluster lipids in a membrane.

Molecular Dynamics Simulations of Mixed Acidic/Zwitterionic Phospholipid Bilayers Biophysical Journal, Volume 99, Issue 3, 4 August 2010, Pages 825-833 Torben Broemstrup and Nathalie Reuter Abstract Anionic lipids are key components in the cell membranes. Many cell-regulatory and signaling mechanisms depend upon a complicated interplay between them and membrane-bound proteins. Phospholipid bilayers are commonly used as model systems in experimental or theoretical studies to gain insight into the structure and dynamics of biological membranes. We report here 200-ns-long MD simulations of pure (DMPC and DMPG) and mixed equimolar (DMPC/DMPG, DMPC/DMPS, and DMPC/DMPA) bilayers that each contain 256 lipids. The intra- and intermolecular interaction patterns in pure and mixed bilayers are analyzed and compared. The effect of monovalent ions (Na+) on the formation of salt-bridges is investigated. In particular, the number of Na+-mediated clusters in the presence of DMPS is higher than with DMPG and DMPA. We observe a preferential clustering of DMPS (and to some extent DMPA) lipids together rather than with DMPC molecules, which can explain the phase separation observed experimentally for DMPC/DMPS and DMPC/DMPA bilayers.

Secretory human phospholipase A2 type IIA (PLA2-IIA) catalyzes the hydrolysis of the sn-2 ester bond in glycerolipids to produce fatty acids and lysolipids. The enzyme is coupled to the inflammatory response, and its specificity toward anionic membrane interfaces suggests a role as a bactericidal agent. PLA2-IIA may also target perturbed native cell membranes that expose anionic lipids to the extracellular face. However, anionic lipid contents in native cells appear lower than the threshold levels necessary for activation. By using phosphatidylcholine/phosphatidylglycerol model systems, we show that local enrichment of anionic lipids into fluid domains triggers PLA2-IIA activity. In addition, the compositional range of enzyme activity is shown to be related to the underlying lipid phase diagram. A comparison is done between PLA2-IIA and snake venom PLA2, which in contrast to PLA2-IIA hydrolyzes both anionic and zwitterionic membranes. In general, this work shows that PLA2-IIA activation can be accomplished through local enrichment of anionic lipids into domains, indicating a mechanism for PLA2-IIA to target perturbed native membranes with low global anionic lipid contents. The results also show that the underlying lipid phase diagram, which determines the lipid composition at a local level, can be used to predict PLA2-IIA activity.

Launch of the lingerie campaign in Saudi
Women in the kingdom are boycotting lingerie stores to push for the implementation of a law that allows female staff to work in shops selling women's undergarments.
March 26, 2009 4:47 by Aarti Nagraj
Reem Asaad launched a Facebook campaign called "Ban men from selling lingerie in KSA" last year; the group currently has 1,670 members. An online petition was also passed around in the group. The recent stories by the international media have also pulled many supporters to the site.
"I read this story on MSNBC and quickly went to look for this group. I hope this law will be implemented! Seriously, how can a man give you advice on what bra supports best?" wrote one supporter on the facebook page.
"I saw this story on Yahoo News, you have my sympathy, women of Saudi Arabia! I have never and would never want to buy underwear or lingerie from a man, and find it amazing and awful that you are stuck doing so. Keep up the pressure, it is a very valid cause and you will accomplish your goal!" wrote another supporter.
The recent boycott was launched on Tuesday by around 50 women who say that their main aim is the implementation of the law.
The AP says that the law was never put into effect, "partly due to hard-liners in the religious establishment who oppose employing women in mixed environments like malls, where religious police are always on the lookout to keep men and women from interacting."
Will the current campaign make a difference?

Me right now, I'm tired of trying to please everyone, I'm tired of always worrying about what so and so think. I'm tired of worrying about how so and so gunna feel if I do this or that. Being nice and caring ain't getting me no where. I'm tired of always trying to make sure so and so is on track, I'm tired of always thinking of others when in the end they quick to forget how you where there for them when they was going through their shit. I'm done wasting my time with people who ain't going no where. I'm on my way to the top, bestfriend or not, family or not, if you ain't heading there yourself, hop off my ride #thankyou #BadDay 😔😐😒

Feeding Frenzy - The New Politics of Food
In Feeding Frenzy – The New Politics of Food, Paul McMahon warns that food is a lot more expensive today than it was a decade ago and does not look like getting any cheaper. We seem to be stuck in a never-ending food crisis. Everyone can see the effect in their supermarket and restaurant bills. Higher food prices squeeze our incomes, meaning there is less to spend on everything else. But for the poor of the world the impacts are more dramatic. About one in eight people now go hungry each year. Millions of people have been forced deeper into poverty. High prices have sparked food riots and demonstrations in more than thirty countries.
There is no doubt that we are entering a challenging time. Can we feed a world of 9 billion by 2050? Is the current market turmoil an early sign that the global food system will not cope? Paul McMahon the author of Feeding Frenzy – The New Politics of Food joined Pat in studio.
The book is called Feeding Frenzy – The New Politics of Food by Paul Mc Mahon. It is published byProfile Books and is priced at £12.99

Sir Peter Lytton "Baz" Bazalgette (born on 22 May 1953) is a British television producer who helped to create the independent TV production sector in the United Kingdom, and went on to be the leading creative figure in the global TV company Endemol. The Independent argued that he may be "the most influential man in British television" as a result of his impact on the development of reality television and lifestyle TV programmes. The Daily Mail once named him as one of the "Ten Worst Britons" for Endemol's Channel 4 show Big Brother and the London Evening Standard television critic Victor Lewis-Smith said that Bazalgette had "done more to debase television over the past decade than anyone else."[1] Yet within the broadcasting industry he was held in high esteem and was elected President of the Royal Television Society and Deputy Chairman of the National Film School. He was knighted in the 2012 New Year Honours for services to broadcasting.[2][3]
He has been a benefactor to the arts and Deputy Chairman of English National Opera. In September 2012 it was announced that he would succeed Dame Elizabeth Forgan as Chair of the Arts Council England.[4]
Personal life[edit]
Peter Bazalgette is the great-great-grandson of Victorian civil engineer Sir Joseph Bazalgette. A third cousin is Edward Bazalgette who directed and produced the 2003 documentary The Sewer King which charted Sir Joseph Bazalgette's design and engineering of the London sewers. Peter Bazalgette presented a later television show for Five, called The Great Stink, and chaired the Crossness Engines Trust raising £4.5 million to restore the magnificent Victorian pumping station built by his ancestor. An old joke is that where Joseph Bazalgette was responsible for removing ordure from London's homes, his grandson has reversed the process.[5]
For the first 12 years of his life Peter Bazalgette's parents did not have a television. He attended Dulwich College, and gained a third class degree in Law[6] from Fitzwilliam College, Cambridge University while also becoming the president of the Cambridge Union Society.
He is married to intellectual property rights lawyer, Hilary Newiss, with whom he has two children. The family lives in Notting Hill.
Bazalgette joined the BBC News graduate news training scheme, and was subsequently picked by Esther Rantzen as a researcher on "That's Life!" from 1977.
While a reporter at the BBC for "Man Alive," he joined Eric Parsloe's video production company Epic. The BBC put him in charge of producing the programme "Food and Drink," where he claims to have created the celebrity chef. He continued producing by forming his own production company Bazal, which created hits for British TV including Ready Steady Cook, Changing Rooms and Ground Force. In 1990, Bazal was acquired by Broadcast Communications, which itself was absorbed by Endemol.
In January 2005 Bazalgette became Chairman of Endemol UK and Creative Director of Endemol Group worldwide. He was responsible for shows including Big Brother and Deal or No Deal which were hits around the world, and led Endemol's digital entertainment strategy. Although Big Brother was an adaption of an existing series in the Netherlands, Bazalgette is credited with popularising the format around the world thanks to the adaptations he built into the UK version. During Bazalgette's time on the global board, Endemol grew strongly and in 2005 it was launched on the Dutch stock exchange. Over the next eighteen months it trebled in value and was sold in 2007 for €3.2 billion. In September 2007 it was announced that Bazalgette was standing down as Chairman and would assume the role of advisor.[7]
Bazalgette has long challenged the funding model of the BBC and proposed reducing the licence fee to pay specifically for its core news and information content with voluntary subscription introduced to pay for drama and entertainment.[8]
Bazalgette has been awarded fellowships by BAFTA and the Royal Television Society, and was[when?] President of the Royal Television Society as well as a Non-Executive Director of the Department for Culture, Media and Sport. In September 2012 he was appointed chairman of Arts Council England, and began his 4 year term on 31 January 2013.[9]
Other interests[edit]
Bazalgette has co-written four books including The Food Revolution, You Don't Have to Diet, and a biography of Egon Ronay. He is author of a study of the international TV formats business, Billion Dollar Game and is a regular speaker at global media events. He lectures on media convergence and creativity. He has written widely on privacy and the internet, young people and voting, arts and philanthropy, public service broadcasting and student volunteering.
He is a consultant to two of Sony's television divisions in the UK, Chairman of MirriAd, non-executive director of Base79, Nutopia and YouGov and also a member of BBH's Advisory Board. He is a former board member of Channel 4 and former Deputy Chairman of the National Film & Television School where he helped put up an £8million new teaching building. He is Deputy Chairman of English National Opera and is a Trustee of Debate Mate.[10]

Welcome Living Social Customers!
Below, you will see a few examples of my style. It's very rewarding to provide Families with Artistic Fun Photos. My Candid approach to Family Photography makes for the easiest portrait experience you will ever have done!
I do not have a studio. Rather, I come to you or a park, forest preserve, etc. The best photos are done outside in Natural Light. The background is far less important. As you can see, the camera was zoomed in close enough and there isn't much background to be seen. Just about any Park works. You don't have to go to Millennium Park to get great photos! We have a few favorite places to do photo shoots based on your location. I will do photos in your home if you wish. However, indoor photos never seem to be as good as outdoor locations.
For more examples, check out my Facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/christopherpaulphoto
If you like these kinds of photos, purchase the deal from Living Social.
Here's where you can find the deal...
Childrens Portraits
My way of getting the Great Candid Photos of Children, works every time! The parents Love to see their children in these types of photos.

Childrens Portraits

Can you confirm your group did the translation (subtitles) 100% yourself, and did not base it on existing (legally) translated source? The concern is that the original R2 DVDs contain English subtitles. A straight DVD-rip (including subtitles from the DVD) would not be acceptable. |

Tobira o Akete Movie not from Tomodachi Group
becasue of the crappy VHS quality video of the "Tobira o Akete Movie" from here
http://animesuki.com/details.php/44726.html i went to the Tomodachi Fansub group IRC channel and found out that it's not done by their group but by a crappy VHS rip group with the a similar name name Tomodachi uses their short name [TMD] in their releases http://anidb.net/g6264 but the group that released "Tobira o Akete Movie" is Tomodachi Anime Fansub which uses [Tomodachi] http://anidb.net/g850 as "Tobira o Akete Movie" from http://animesuki.com/details.php/44726.html isn't from [TMD] it shouldn't be under their listing, as they are 2 different groups. http://www.tomodachi-subs.com/commen...omment.news.61 |

I'm the webmaster and a timer for the Curecom group... two of the torrents on our group page here are listed under the wrong series:
CureCom page: http://www.animesuki.com/group.php/990.html The two torrents in question: http://www.animesuki.com/details.php/40927.html http://www.animesuki.com/details.php/41047.html This is labeled as "Fresh Pretty Cure Movie". It's not the Fresh Pretty Cure Movie, and in fact, isn't even from Fresh Pretty Cure at all, it's actually a 5 minute short that ran in front of the Yes! Pretty Cure 5 GoGo Movie (and says so in the filename). I don' t know if it might be appropriate to create a separate series page for "Precure All Stars" (as there is an All Stars movie that had the cast of the first 6 seasons in it, so doesn't really belong with a specific one of those 6 seasons), but if so, this short probably belongs there, as it was kind of a preview for that movie. Otherwise it should go with Yes! Pretty Cure 5 GoGo, as that's the movie the short was distributed with. Thanks! |

We usually list Movies with the repective series so I would say that the Yes! Pretty Cure 5 GoGo Movie should be alongside the Yes! Pretty Cure 5 GoGo TV series. Since the Pretty Cure All Stars Go Go Dream Live! special was released with the Movie I think it should also be part of the Yes! Pretty Cure 5 GoGo TV series listing. Will have to create the entry for Yes! Pretty Cure 5 GoGo, will then add the special as part of this. Thanks for the info. |

Sorry, we don't list unofficial batch torrents (which are not released by the fansub group themselves), but it seems two torrents accidentally made it on the site. Both have been deleted.
As far as we know the AniRena torrent is the official (and now only remaining) batch torrent. |

Entries tagged "katrina vanden heuvel"
September 21, 2012 · By Martha Burk
Whether you're a Democrat, Republican, tea-partier, liberal, conservative, or in-between, you're experiencing an election season unlike any in U.S. history. That's because the rules on political spending have changed in a billion dollar way.
In 2010, the Supreme Court ruled in the now-infamous Citizens United decision that corporations must be treated the same as people when it comes to political speech. The Court said the ban on using corporate cash to endorse or oppose political candidates (in place since 1947) was unconstitutional. The ruling freed them up to spend money both on "electioneering communications" and advocating for the election or defeat of candidates — so long as they don't actually put the money in the candidate's palm.
A few weeks after Citizens United, a lower court joined the festivities by ruling that certain political action committees could also accept unlimited contributions for so-called "independent" expenditures. So as not to leave anybody out, individual donors were included too. The Super PAC was born.
By mid September 2012 Super PACs aligned with Republicans had already spent $83 million on attack ads against President Obama, while pro-Obama Super PACs had spent $30 million. One well-heeled Republican donor, Sheldon Adelson, has vowed to personally spend $100 million to influence the 2012 elections.
Is all this good for democracy? What can we do about it? On September 20, The Nation attempts an answer in a special issue titled "The 1% Court," with an introduction by Bill Moyers, who has spoken out repeatedly against Citizens United. I talked about those questions and others around corporate influence on the Court and the government itself with Katrina vanden Heuvel, editor of The Nation, on my radio show Equal Time With Martha Burk.
MB: Let's go back to when this got rolling -- the mid-term elections in 2010. Only 15% of the money spent was a result of Citizens United because it was a brand-new ruling. You wrote in the Washington Post that 2010 was a test case. Conservatives and their corporate allies were "dipping their toes in the water, gauging the legal boundaries of the new landscape. They liked what they found."
KvH: They certainly did. We've seen a 427% increase in spending since 2010. We're looking at a presidential election with a price tag expected to reach over $2 billion. Overarching all of this is a dramatic assault on American democracy and the fundamental principle of one person, one vote.
MB: Some have tried to make the case that Citizens United isn't that harmful, because most of the money coming into the Super PACs isn't from corporations or unions, but from individuals like Adelson. Just ordinary people giving to causes and trying to elect candidates they like.
KvH: We are witnessing the derugulation of campaign finance - the scaffolding that was erected to protect people from the barrage of big corporate money. A moment where corporate power is virtually unchecked. It's a fundamental concept of how you balance interests. The Koch brothers are the poster boys of this anti-people campaign finance structure.
MB: Has Citizen's United sparked a counter movement.?
KvH: We had a week of people across this country -- called Resolutions Week — where legislators in cities and counties have approved resolutions calling for a constitutional amendment to get money out of politics, to overturn Citizens United. A constitutional amendment is a heavy lift. But it's a long-term goal around which to organize and agitate.
MB: Many people don't realize is that you can't find out who is paying for these ads [unless the donor discloses it voluntarily].
KvH: Anonymity is so destructive. And it may well be that Americans will get most of their information from attack ads because local news has been cut back, and it's very dangerous.
MB: One reform that has been mentioned is that if a corporation runs these ads, the CEO has to come on and say "I'm [for example] Jamie Dimon and I approved this message."
KvH: I love that because there's all this talk about taking responsibility, so make that CEO whose corporation is pumping money in take that responsibility.
MB: Does the media have a role here?
KvH: We have not seen the corporate broadcast media play a constructive role. The money is so huge, the media is complicit in this financial-campaign-industry complex. It's going to require agitation and exposure.
MB: All kinds of other races are being polluted by this money - down ticket races and ballot initiatives.
KvH: Yes. In the short term - as a minimum - we need disclosure, disclosure, disclosure.
MB: What is the most important thing voters ought to be paying attention to this year in regard to money in politics?
KvH: Voting is the first step. Accountability, engagement, movement pressure. The fight for an amendment, for a more democratic country is not an easy one. It demands engagement.

Playing with people's religious feelings in Russia is dangerous, Russian President Vladimir Putin's spokesman Dmitry Peskov said while commenting on the case of female punk group Pussy Riot.
"Playing with nationalities, playing with religion in this country is the same as smoking at a filling station," Peskov told the Dozhd TV channel on Thursday.
An edited clip of Pussy Riot's protest posted online showed the group alternately high-kicking and crossing themselves near the entrance to the altar of the Christ the Savior Cathedral, accompanying the "Holy S**t" song urging the Virgin Mary to "drive Putin out." The song contained words insulting to Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and All Russia and to believers.
Three band members were found guilty of hooliganism and jailed for two years each on August 17. This attracted both media attention and international criticism, which Moscow dismissed as "groundless" saying the band's act was not an issue of artistic performance but was "insulting to millions of Orthodox [Christian] believers."
"I most probably belong to the part of society that is genuinely indignant and believes such deeds should be punished very harshly," Peskov said.

What is needed is less talk and more action...Russia and the rest of the Free World seriously need to up their game in the counter cultural/moral subversion and counter propaganda department.

RNA sequences specifically associated with mouse intracisternal A particles
Cell, Volume 11, Issue 1, 1 May 1977, Pages 83-94
Kira K. Lueders, Shoshana Segal and Edward L. Kuff
SummaryIntracisternal type A particles were purified from mouse myeloma line MOPC-104E, and the particle-associated polyadenylated RNA was transcribed with AMV DNA-polymerase. The kinetics of hybridization of the 3H-cDNA with its template RNA revealed an abundant class of sequences comprising about 55% of the total A particle cDNA. The fraction of 3H-cDNA representing this class of sequences was isolated by selective low Crt hybridization and used to quantify the sequences in other RNA preparations. The entire class of sequences, having a genetic complexity of 2-2.5 × 106 daltons, was many-fold more concentrated in A particle-rich tumors of three different cell types (myeloma, rhabdomyosarcoma and neuroblastoma) than in several cell lines that are apparently devoid of particles. In MOPC-104E, the A particle-specific sequences comprised nearly 8% of the total cytoplasmic poly(A) RNA. These sequences were further concentrated in A particle fractions prepared from each of the various tumors. In A particle-containing fractions prepared rapidly from exponentially growing neuroblastoma cells, the specific sequences were associated principally with RNA molecules sedimenting in the range of 26S–32S. There was no detectable homology between the class of specific A particle sequences defined here and a set of sequences common to several murine type C viruses.

Retrotransposition of a mouse IAP sequence tagged with an indicator gene
Cell, Volume 64, Issue 1, 11 January 1991, Pages 159-170
Odile Heldmann and Thierry Heidmann
SummaryWe have marked a cloned mouse IAP sequence with a neomycin-containing indicator gene whose expression is conditioned by passage of the transposon through an RNA intermediate. Transposition of the marked IAP introduced into tumor cells could be detected by simple selection of the cells in G418, at a frequency of 10−6 per cell per generation. Southern blot analysis and nucleotide sequencing after PCR amplification demonstrated "retrotransposition" of the marked element, with spllcing out of an Intron contained in the indicator gene, and retroviral-like reverse transcription and integration of the transposed IAPs, with 6 bp dupiications of the identified target sites. Transposition was found to be mutagenic for the element, as might be expected if the identified marked and endogenous IAP transcripts were coencapsidated into IAP particies as dimers.

Sequences associated with intracisternal a particles are reiterated in the mouse genome
Cell, Volume 12, Issue 4, 1 December 1977, Pages 963-972
Kira K. Lueders and Edward L. Kuff
SummaryUsing a 3H-cDNA for RNA sequences specifically associated with murine intracisternal type A particles, we have found multiple copies of this information in high molecular weight nuclear DNA from tissues of both Mus musculus (BALB/c, NIH Swiss, A/Jax and feral) and Mus cervicolor. Reiteration frequencies varied from 1050–1800 per haploid genome, except that fewer copies (450) were found in BALB/3T3 cells. In the series studied, the reiteration frequencies in the DNA of A particle-rich tumor cells (myeloma and neuroblastoma) were not higher than those in normal tissues (liver and sperm). Multiple copies were retained when cellular DNAs were sedimented through alkaline sucrose gradients, indicating that the sequences are integrated in the mouse genome. In situ hybridization with cDNA showed that the sequences were associated with many chromosomes and were concentrated over certain regions of some chromosomes. Only low levels of homologous sequences were detected in rat, hamster and guinea pig DNA under stringent conditions of hybridization. The presence of reiterated sequence transcripts in poly(A) RNA from a neuroblastoma A particle fraction was confirmed by direct hybridization of the RNA with cellular DNA.

Add/View Comments (0)Transfer of murine intracisternal A particle phenotype in chloramphenicol-resistant cytoplasts
Harry L. Malech and Nelson A. Wivel
Laboratory of Cell Biology National Cancer Institute Bethesda, Maryland 20014 USA
- Murine intracisternal A particles have a number of properties which are common to known RNA tumor viruses, but horizontal transmission has not been previously demonstrated. The apparent absence of infectivity may be related to the failure of these particles to be released from cisternae of endoplasmic reticulum. Previous biological studies using isolated, purified A particles have been compromised by the fact that the isolation procedure requires small amounts of nonionic detergent.Using some techniques of somatic cell hybridization, we have assessed the capacity for A particle genome transfer from positive to negative cells. Since it has been previously shown that some chloramphenicol-resistant cell lines can transfer this resistance in the cytoplasm, we have used this characteristic as a marker for cytoplasmic fragments. Mouse cells containing A particles were mutagenized, and clones resistant to chloramphenicol were selected; by enucleating these cells and fusing the resultant cytoplasts to each of two recipient mouse cell lines negative for A particles, it is possible to identify clones of cells known to be the product of a fusion event between a cytoplast and a whole cell (cybrids). Under these conditions, intracisternal A particles appear in the cybrid clones as a phenotypic trait that has not been segregated over at least 60–80 cell generations.

Always check with your IT department before changing system settings or otherwise tweaking a company-owned machine.
10 Windows 8 tips, tricks and hacks
Take control of Windows 8 on the Desktop, the lock screen and more.
Computerworld - Whether you've installed Windows 8 yourself or bought a new PC with it, you're now faced with an unfamiliar operating system that at first glance seems more difficult to customize than earlier versions of Windows. What to do -- give up and simply use it as it came out of the box?
Certainly not. There are plenty of ways to tweak, hack and make Windows 8 do things you wouldn't think were possible. In this article you'll see how to cobble together your own quick-and-dirty Start menu as well as customize the hidden Power User menu. I'll show you how to use so-called "God Mode," hack the lock screen and Start screen, master File Explorer and much more.
So fire up Windows 8 and get ready to hear it cry "Uncle."
Need help getting up to speed with Windows 8? See our Windows 8 cheat sheet, which shows you how to get around (including with keyboard shortcuts) and offers three quick tips for getting started with Windows 8.
1. Put "God Mode" in easy reach
You wouldn't know it by looking at the Desktop or Start screen, but Windows 8 practically bristles with settings you can customize. The problem is that they're scattered throughout Windows 8, and it can be time-consuming to track them down individually.
However, there is one way to find them all in one place: You can use what some people call "God Mode." While the term "God Mode" has a powerful ring to it, the truth is it's not a separate mode that you put Windows into. It's really a hidden folder that gives you fast access to many settings spread out across Windows 8. It's easy to put that folder right on the Desktop.
First, make sure that you can view hidden files in File Explorer, the system navigation app that in earlier versions of Windows was called Windows Explorer. Run File Explorer, click the View tab, and check the boxes next to "Hidden items" and "File name extensions" in the Ribbon at the top.
Then right-click the Desktop and select New --> Folder. That creates a folder on the Desktop named "New folder." Rename the folder:
The folder icon changes, and it has the name GodMode.
(Note that the "GodMode" text isn't what turns the folder into a special folder; instead, it's that long string of letters and numbers inside the curly brackets. You can use any text you want before the period just ahead of the opening bracket, and it still points to the same folder and everything works the same.)
Double-click the icon, and you'll launch a folder filled with dozens of actions, tools and tweaks, from "Change Automatic Maintenance settings" to "View update history." They're organized by category. Expand or shrink each category by clicking the small triangle next to it. Each category displays a number next to it, showing how many settings there are in it.
To start any action or tweak, double-click it in the list. In some cases you'll follow a wizard, in other cases you'll need to fill in dialog boxes, and in yet other cases you'll be sent to the Control Panel or another Windows location to do the work.
2. Put a quick-and-dirty Start menu on the taskbar
Particularly high on the list of things that annoy people about Windows 8 is the omission of the Desktop's Start menu. Microsoft did its best to stomp it to death -- but it didn't quite succeed. In the Windows 8 cheat sheet I showed you how to use free or paid add-on programs to get the Start button and menu back.
If don't want to use third-party software to get a Start menu, you can build your own quick-and-dirty one in no time. You won't get the full traditional Windows Start menu with Search button, recently run apps, the Control Panel, your network and so on. Instead you get a menu that lets you browse through applications and launch them.
First make sure that you can view hidden files in File Explorer, as outlined in the tip above.
Now right-click the Desktop's taskbar and select Toolbars --> New Toolbar. From the screen that appears, navigate to
C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu
where username is your account name, and click the Select Folder button. That will place a Start Menu toolbar on the far right of the taskbar. Click its double arrow to display a variety of folders (such as Programs and Computer) that you can browse through until you see the item you want; click it to launch it.
To make the Start Menu toolbar go away, right-click the taskbar and select Toolbars, then de-select the Start Menu listing.

Availability of local ballot measure information at the state level
You be the judge: vote on LBI's editorial contest!
Jefferson County Library Bond Measure (August 2011)
A Jefferson County Library Bond Measure was on the August 16, 2011 ballot in the unincorporated areas of Jefferson County.
This measure was defeated
This measure sought to issue a bond in the amount of $8.4 million in order to build an expansion on to the current library facility. Library officials noted the large increase in usage of the library and need to expand services. The new addition would have added 9,700 square feet to the current facility. The bond would not cover the entire cost of the addition so library officials had planned to raise the additional money through donations.[2]
Text of measure
The question on the ballot:
The Board of Trustees of Jefferson County Rural Library District adopted resolution 2011-01 concerning this proposition for bonds. This proposition, if approved by the qualified voters of the District, would authorize the District to renovate and expand the main library in Port Hadlock to increase space for books, services, technology and programs; to issue not more than $8,400,000 of general obligation bonds maturing within maximum of 20 years; and collect excess property taxes annually to repay the bonds, as provided in Resolution 2011-01.[3] |

Casanova Dvd
Fellini Federico
Casanova Dvd
Fellini Federico
Sex is Casanova's lifeblood and his life is dedicated to pleasure. But one thing eludes him throughout his life – perfect happiness with his one true love, Henriette.
Starring David Tennant (Dr Who, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire), Peter O-Toole and Rose Byrne, this fast paced and edgy drama alternates between the gripping love triangle involving the young Casanova, Henriette and her husband Grimani, and the swan song moments of the world's greatest lothario. Casanova takes us from the decadent streets of 18th Century Venice to the pre-evolution Paris, and on to the London courts of George III.
In the Age of Reason and Science, gambling and gallantries, of pleasure and entertainment, Casanova has it all, does it all. 44 years later, Casanova, a librarian in a castle, exiled from Venice is dying. Into his life comes Edith, a young parlour maid who ignites the old passion in Casanova and he finds himself regaling her with tales of his adventures.

PokeyAC, that is so interesting about the Lunception! I have never heard of it but it sounds kinda cool.
Virgocanwait, welcome! So sorry for the chemical pregnancy. That's hard. Sending you some baby dust!
Devilish, so sorry it is so hard right now! Is there anyway you can get a new doctor? I have a friend who has been struggling with fertility issues for her #2 as well and it has been so infuriating how no one will listen. She FINALLY found someone who is awesome but it's taken so long. Hugs to you!
JustJenny, I agree with others that DHs just don't get it as much. I am also in an urgent place becasue I'm turning 40 in about a week and DH is 44 and our DS is already 5 and I want a sib for him. DH keeps telling me to relax but I can't to some degree. I mean I AM trying (hence being on this thread) but it's hard. And really the TTC IS all on us since we know best when the best time is (either based on pre-O signs or OPKs or whatever). Oh it's hard.
Dakipode, glad you are keeping busy.
Xerxella, sending you some zen vibes for your wait.
AFM: AF finally arrived! Woo! I am relieved. And, I guess, gearing up for this next cycle. How is it that the TWW feels like it takes a year to go by but already I have to be planning BDing for next week and THEN will be in another TWW in what feels like 5 seconds?

COLLEGE PARK, Md.—
North Hagerstown senior Max Ober reached the boys singles quarterfinals at the Maryland State Tennis Tournament on Friday before his season and undefeated streak came to an end.Ober defeated C. Milton Wright's Bobby Frantz 6-3, 7-6 (2) in the first round to improve his season record to 22-0, but lost to third-seeded Alex Cauneac of Severna Park 6-3, 6-2 in the quarterfinals.
Ober, the 2012 Herald-Mail Washington County Boys Tennis Player of the Year, closes out his prep career with a 39-2 singles record. He also went 8-2 in mixed doubles last year, when he teamed with Mollie Johnson to finish fourth at the state tournament.
Much like he did in his Region I championship victory over Urbana's Edward Yoon last weekend, Ober attacked Frantz's backhand and charged to the net whenever possible.
"He hit a lot of topspin and a lot of good shots that put me on my heels, but I used some lobs and some passing shots to really frustrate him," Ober said. "The wind was a key factor. I really used it to my advantage for lobs and angles down the line."
"(Frantz) was a good player," Hubs coach Kevin Reynolds said. "It was a close match and Max was able to pull it out."
But Cauneac's powerful serve and forehand proved to be too much in the quarterfinals.
"I've never seen a serve that hard before," Ober said. "I tried my best. I won some points off it but I didn't put them together at crucial moments to break him, so that hurt me. ... That's the first time somebody hit winners on me that I couldn't even try for."
"I'd guess his first serve was about 120 (mph)," Reynolds said. "He gave it his all, chasing every ball down, even when he was down 5-1, 40-love."
Clear Spring's mixed doubles team of Corey McClure and Cayla Garner wound up with the worst possible draw, facing top-seeded Michael Gauch and Catie Gouch of Churchill in the first round. The result was a 6-1, 6-1 setback for the Washington County champions and Region I runners-up.
"They did everything they could do today," Blazers coach Lisa Shives said. "It wasn't like they didn't play well."
McClure and Garner were teamed up for the postseason after each had successful No. 1 singles seasons. Garner was the county's top girls singles player, going 13-0. McClure went 9-4 for the boys.
"Corey played in the region last year as a mixed doubles player, and with this being Cayla's first year playing singles, we knew she'd do well in the county but knew the region would be strong, so she had a better shot at going to states in doubles," Shives said.

The Deal: Foxwoods Restructures $2.3 Billion Debt After Four Years of Negotiations
He went on to explain that if one tribe filed, only to have its petition denied, the threat of bankruptcy would be unavailable to other tribes in the future. Furthermore, if a tribe filed successfully, the bankruptcy process could call tribes' legal protections into question, potentially stripping them of rights that protect their sovereignty.
Protecting these rights makes a compelling case for finding an out-of-court solution, but also makes it more difficult to reach an agreement.
Businesses owned by Native American tribes have special legal protections that restrict creditors' avenues of recourse. Tribes are legally prohibited from selling tribal assets or issuing equity, and they are legally immune from attempts by outsiders to force a change of control at their businesses.
Without a court to push things along, the discussions at Foxwoods stretched on for four years -- one adviser who worked on the deal compared the process to a "game of Whac-A-Mole" in which, each time one tranche of creditors was satisfied with a provision, another tranche would rise up to dispute it.
Global Leveraged's Reynertson was thrilled that the parties reached a consensual resolution with more than 99% bondholder participation. Foxwoods CEO Scott Butera was also happy with the resolution. "This was a one-of-a-kind deal, the first and biggest deal of its type done with Native American sovereignties -- it's a little bit revolutionary," Butera said. Butera added that the restructuring solved Foxwoods' financial woes, explaining, "We're in very solid financial condition -- if need be, this could be a permanent financial structure." Now Foxwoods is looking to expand, Butera said. The company is competing for a license to build a $1 billion casino in Milford, Mass., and is evaluating opportunities for a $300 million to $600 million casino in the Catskill Mountain region of New York. The Milford proposal involves plans for a 660,000-square foot casino that would require a $20 million contribution from Foxwoods, according to Butera, who is working with Deutsche Bank to raise the necessary funds through debt and equity financings. Butera added that the new project would be nonrecourse to Foxwoods, so it won't put a huge burden on the casino's capital structure.Select the service that is right for you!
