Cadbury has launched the fourth A Glass and a Half Full Productions commercial, "Dogs", featuring the music of the Blue Danube Waltz by Johann Strauss II.
Dogs take turns riding in a purple Lamborghini Diablo on the Oran Park Raceway in Sydney, letting the air blow past them as they hang out the window. A Glass and A Half Full of Joy!
Click on the image below to play the video in YouTube (HD)
The Dogs ad was developed at Fallon London and Saatchi & Saatchi Australia, Sydney, by executive creative director Steve Back, agency producer Kate Whitfield, agency producer Evonne Sciberras.
Filming was shot by Caravan duo director Ben Lawrence and producer Emma Lawrence via The Feds, with director of photography Anna Howard.
The car was graded from yellow to Cadbury Purple by Crash Carlucci at Frame Set Match.
All the dogs were wrangled by Steve Austin.
The Blue Danube is the common English title of An der schönen blauen Donau op. 314 (On the Beautiful Blue Danube), a waltz by Johann Strauss II.

TS4425: Apple TV: Photo Stream unavailable after updating Apple TV software
Learn about Apple TV: Photo Stream unavailable after updating Apple TV softwareTS4425 My Sony Barvia no longer recognizes my Apple TV since last update. My other TV recognizes it. How do I get the Sony Bravia to see it?
Eurodance USA
Hi @Surfbroad, sorry to hear that, I can imagine how frustrating that can be. Is your Sony Bravia full HD 1080p? And/or have you had the chances to match your Apple TV's resolution to match your TVs, by going to Settings > Audio & Video > TV Resolution?
Like (0)
Yes, it is a full 1080HD TV
Like (0)
I did what you suggested. I had to hook ATV up to other TV so I could see it and navigate to settings etc. the resolution I choose was 1024 x 760 60hz. Something like that. There was no 1080 option on the Apple TV so I chose what I thought was the highest res option. Now hooked back up to Nravia, and still no picture.

I have an Apple Tv hooked up to a Sony Bravia TV on HDMI input port 2 on the Sony and have both picture and audio. I assume you are selecting the HDMI input on the TV that you have the ATV connected to?

@Surfbroad you've probably done the following, but as @IpadinParadise has suggested, can you confirm that you're selecting the HDMI input on the TV that's Apple TV is connected to? Also, is the audio playing fine while the screen's black?
If you've made sure that the input setting you've selected on your TV matches the input you have your video cables connected to, then change the Apple TV resolution by pressing and holding the "Menu" and "Up" button for six seconds. The Apple TV will automatically cycle to the next resolution at approximately 20 second intervals. Pressing the "Select" button will immediately cycle to the next resolution. This should choose the appropriate/compatible resolution for your TV automatically.
If the above doesn't work, and if your Apple TV is 1st generation, try component cables instead (and disconnect the HDMI cable temporarily).

Yes, I have the correct input selected on HDMI. I've tried all the HDMI inputs with the ATV. None of them will recognize the ATV. I have another device hooked up to HDMI on the Bravia and it sees it fine. My other TV sees my ATV fine too. It's just the Bravia will not sense it! I've done everything that you have all suggested. I've done it over and over. My friends TV which is a Bravia, won't sense my ATV either! I tried their ATV with my Bravia and it worked! It's doing my head in all this....

Urbandictonary says thus
Mainstream (mAnstrEm), n., adj.
1) A genre in music and other forms of media that is often defined by widely-accepted and currently-popular standards, trends, and hypes that have been established by the media, typically resulting in the promotion of superficial traits.
My popular friends accept me because I'm hot and I like all the mainstream artists on MTV
Mainstream is the larger public, the masses, the big crowd. Things that are or become 'mainstream' are the things that currently sell the most and gain the most popularity.
Hip Hop has become mainstream and is being worn-out by the masses
A gigantic brainwashing cover that the media and the government uses to blindly mislead people into all going the same way. Mainstream should die. I hate people nowadays because they are all the same: Same trend, same bland as pigshit personalities, and same predjudice. Rap is known for influencing mainstream. So is Hip-Hop.
Mainstream should die.

Budget Accommodation Europe Germany Berlin Hostels Industriepalast Hostel Berlin
The location was great. It was good walking distance for nearby sights and also very close to a train station. The breakfast was great. The rooms were huge but would be better with power receptables by each bed. The front-desk staff was very friendly and helpful.
We are the hostel made out of red bricks. Our team is young. We are the destination for Berlin visitors with a big thirst for adventure and a small budget. Our large lobby including bar, table socker and a pool table, as well as the guest kitchen and vaulted cellar with ping pong table are great places to meet other guests and just hang out. Above that you can watch the most beautiful Industriepalast sunset of Berlin from our exquisite terrace.
The Industriepalast offers you not only huge and spacious rooms for groups up to 8 people but also favourable single and double rooms that meet a hotel standard. Every room has a splendid view of Berlin and is as clean as back home at your mom's.
We are right at the interface of Berlins 'IN'districts Friedrichshain, to the left, and Kreuzberg, to the right. That means you can dive into the exciting metropolis flow 24/7. With the popular clubs Watergate, Berghain and Matrix being just a stone's throw away, you can experience Berlin's nightlife by food. If that's not enough, there are plenty of other famous Clubs near by. Our hostel is also surrounded by countless bars, reasonable priced restaurants, trendy stores and typical Berlin locations all in one place as you will not find it elsewhere in Berlin.
To do a proper Berlin sightseeing tour you just need to make a few steps out of our door. Here, well-known from several movies, the Oberbaumbruecke, the Spreeufer, the East-Side-Gallery, the O2-World as well as the European Headquarter of Universal are waiting for you to be visited.
But if you want to go somewhere further away just rent a bike for little money at our hostel or use the public transport. The S- and U-Bahn stations Warschauer Strasse are only a two minutes walk away (simply follow the stream of people). From there you can explore Berlin easily.
The favourable room rates in the Industriepalast will sweeten your stay in Berlin just like our breakfast with fresh rolls, jam and of course the German speciality Nutella.
-Linen: 2Eur per person/booking
-Continental breakfast available - 6 Eur extra
There is a 3 days minimum stay from Dec 29th 2013 to Jan 1st 2014. There is no check in on the 30th and 31st of December 2013.

9:00 p.m. to 12 midnight – Night Business SessionThe Presbyterian Church in America (PCA) General Assembly is the largest annual gathering of the denomination. Church leaders from across the country gather to discuss matters important to the life of the church and to make decisions that affect the whole denomination and the progress of the gospel. This includes:
Organized in December 1973, the PCA now has over 1,466 churches and missions throughout the USA and Canada, with over 350,000 members. Together, the people and churches and ministries of the PCA make up a growing, vibrant part of the body Christ.
"Together" is a key word here. Along with a strong commitment to Reformed theology, our Presbyterian understanding of the Church calls for connectional government and cooperative ministry. That means that our churches, leaders (ruling and teaching elders), and members work together on several levels – local (churches), regional ("presbyteries"), and denomination-wide (General Assembly). Through this multi-layered system, we help one other, encourage one another, and hold one another accountable as we reach out with the gospel of Christ.

Differential use of adolescent reproductive health programs in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia (HTML)
Erulkar,Annabel S.; Mekbib,Tekle-Ab; Simie,Negussie; Gulema,Tsehai
Journal of Adolescent Health 38(3): 253-260
Publication date: 2006
Adolescent reproductive health programs in Africa have largely remained as small-scale pilot programs, however, there is increasing interest in bringing programs to scale. Evaluations have focused on individual programs and few have gathered population-based information on the reach of program models and the profile of adolescents who utilize services, versus those who do not. This study examines the coverage and utilization of existing adolescent programs in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
Population-based surveys were undertaken among over 1,000 adolescents aged 10-19 years in slum areas of Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. An inventory of youth programs including youth centers and peer education programs was compiled in the study area.
Eight peer education programs and six youth centers were operating in the study area. Twenty percent of boys and only 7 percent of girls had visited a youth center in the last year; 27 percent of boys and 15 percent of girls had had contact with a peer educator. Older adolescents, especially boys, were more likely to utilize programs. Girls who work long hours and who are isolated are less likely to access and benefit from programs.
Greater segmentation of the adolescent population is needed in the design and content of adolescent reproductive health programs. In addition, programmers should pay attention to the specific circumstances of young people in local settings, particularly vulnerable, hard-to-reach sub-groups of adolescents, including girls.

Tesco Washing Up Liquid
Member Name: Holland1
Tesco Washing Up Liquid
Date: 05/09/11
Advantages: Cheap, variety of fragrances, bubbles up well
Disadvantages: Doesn't clean that brilliantly, smell doesn't last
Before I get started on this review, I should probably begin by saying that we have a dishwasher in our house, so our use of washing up liquid is not as heavy as some households where washing up is done by hand. We do, however, still use it to soak pans and dishes which have stubborn dried on food on them, and also for cleaning things like paint trays and oily hands. In this respect our use of washing up liquid is probably more intense than some households.
==The price==
The main obvious advantage of Tesco washing up liquid is the price. It currently sells for £0.75 per 500ml, compared to Fairy costing £1.25 for 450ml. The saving is not life changing, but when cleaning products account for a sizeable chunk of your weekly shop it does all add up.
==The product==
The washing up liquid comes in a few different fragrances, including apple, lemon and original. The one I am currently using is the apple version, which is similar to the dooyoo picture but the packaging has changed slightly. The bottle is plastic with a flip lid, and apart from the label on the front the bottle is see-through so you can see the colour of the liquid inside. In this case, the washing up liquid is green, and smells of apples. The washing up liquid is dispensed by a squeeze of the bottle.
The washing up liquid does actually froth quite well, unlike some other discount brands, but you do have to squeeze a fair amount to get some good bubbles. The smell is very pleasant, and you get a distinct aroma of apples when you pour the liquid, but this doesn't stay for long and your hands don't smell of it afterwards. I would say that although it's thick and bubbles up well, it isn't as good as the leading brands for getting food off pan and plates when it has been dried on or the food is particularly messy such as pasta or curry.
This is a fairly mediocre substitute product, which is good to save a few pennies but probably works out to be a false economy because to get the same results you have to use more of it. The smell is nice but doesn't stay on your hands, and I doubt the liquid has any moisturising properties on your skin. I think in future I would probably try to get the branded products when they are on offer to get better value for money.
Summary: All in all this is a bit of a false economy

Husky 346XP or 359? or something else?
I have been leaning towards the 346xp but I am curious if those of you that have it think it would have plenty of power to fall 20-24 oaks? I typically dont cut anything that big but I have some huge trees on my property. I want a saw that is real quality not a lowes special.
I will be upgrading from a all to be desired 445. I have used it to cut a ton of fire wood with but am not happy with its power. I also dont feel comfortable felling larger trees with it.
I know the xp is a pro line saw and with that comes extra danger. I plan on buying new rated chaps rated to the chain speed.

Re: Husky 346XP or 359? or something else?
In a word, no. I mean it can be done but I'd choose the 346 as a great limbing saw and a great saw for 8-12" wood. A 357 with an 18" bar is a more all around saw. I'd buy the 555 first however. The 562 is quite abit more money. These saws are over $700 here. The 359 is also a good saw and will certainly do ya but runs a distant third to the Stihl and Husky 357. That covers Husky. The Stihl 362 is a great all around saw but again, pricey. Biggest bang for the buck currently are the Dolmars if you have a dealer nearby and wanted to stay in the $500 ball park. Their 6400 is one sweet saw for the money . If you needed something a bit smaller , their 5100 series saws are also good. Last week I cut down a 30 inch red oak with an 16" barred 357 with no trouble at all. As a matter of fact, I'd not put a bar longer than 18" for any of the tree sizes you mention for several reasons. Speed of cut is the first. It is a much more handy size bar to buck trees with especially if stems are stacked and you'll do it faster. Sharpening is another. It will go faster with shorter chains. And lastly, you'll get better use of the torque curve in the smaller saws I mentioned which will come in handy with a buried bar.

I have a Husky 372 XP and love it. I also have a 353. It is a good saw but the 372 is great for the bigger stuff.
Re: Husky 346XP or 359? or something else?
Sounds like you need a good two saw plan.
I agree with arrow that you you will want something a little bigger for felling them big oak. The 346xp is one heck of a little firecracker. And is really fast in stuff say 10" an smaller. But burried in 20" of hardwood, and the lack of torque is noticable. It is like about any other 46cc saw. And for the money, the 346xp is really expensive.
The bad thing is, husky really doesnt make any other little trim saws that are worth a crap IMO. Anything under the expensive 346xp is box-store material.
And I just have to say it (because I am a fan), see if you have any dolmar dealers in your area. A good 2-saw plan that can probabally be had for ~$900 would be the 6400 w/24" B&C for a large felling saw and a PS420 for a trim saw. The 6400 should be ~$600 and the PS420 should be ~$300.
But since you already have the 445, and if you are happy with it as a trimmer, just get the one big saw. A MS361 stihl, a dolmar 6400, or one of the huskys that Arrow mentioned. All good choices IMO
IF you are looking to replace the 445 and have just 1 dual purpose saw, and are willing to compromise a little on both ends (little bigger for limbing, and a little smaller for felling), Give the PS5105 Dolmar a look. Pretty comparable to a 357XP, just a tad smaller.".........there is only one way to find out."

Re: Husky 346XP or 359? or something else?
I will look for a dolmar dealer in my area.
I think I will keep the 445 as a trimmer and get a big saw. if the 445 dies then I will get a pro series for limbing as well.
all good advice here...

Re: Husky 346XP or 359? or something else?
One other thing. When I give saw advice, I always take into consideration what the op is currently using as it may be difficult for some to move to a larger saw. Since this is cyber world, I cannot see your age, health, build or athleticism as it relates to something like a chainsaw. Moving up two or three steps in chainsaw size is not something to be taken lightly. Take a look at the 6400 Dolmar. Heft it, run it if possible. This is about a $600 saw. If you find this saw too cumbersome, and for a saw closer to what you are currently using ( in size but way more power), take a look at the Husky 555. Here it's $700 but you may find it for 6 and change around you. This is a very all around saw. It is light enough to limb with and has enough grunt to run a 20" bar. I'd get this saw with two bars. A 16" and a 20". Your tree size has very little to do with bar length and way more to do with how the saw runs and handles with any given bar as these two bars will cover just about anything you are likely to confront. When people state they have 24" trees and think they have to get a 24" bar, it makes me cringe as now they are having to spend way more money for a saw that "effectively" runs that kind of bar length and it is so unnecessary. Here is another consideration. What is going to happen with your stumps? If you are cutting them to ground level, you'll like a bigger saw as 20" trees bhd (breast height dimension or about 4.5') can get pretty wide at the bottom. Nothing beats up a saw more than stumping. If you are leaving them alone, go with the lighter saw. One last thing. Go with the saw that speaks to you even if it 's a hundred bucks more. You'll handle it better and be way more safe. I think your safety is worth a hundred bucks.

Re: Husky 346XP or 359? or something else?
I recently purchased a 346 xp w/18" bar and like it a lot. Initially it came with a low-kickback chain, which really decreased the cutting efficiency. I complained about it to my dealer and he replaced it with a pro-chain. Big difference! As for cutting an occasional 20-24 inch tree, as others have said, it will do the job, but if you have lots of trees like that to deal with then you may want to consider a bigger saw.
BTW Arrow, many many moons ago I worked on an experimental housing project in Foster, RI and fondly remember having lunch every day at a roadside place, can't remember the exact name, but shady acre or shady oaks comes to mind. Great burgers (back then).
Re: Husky 346XP or 359? or something else?
I've heard that Husqvarna is phasing out the 346 next year. If that's true, I'm sure they will have replacement for it performance-wise, although what it will be like 'til they get the bugs out is anybody's guess.
I agree with the 2-saw proposal. Once you get into bigger trees a single saw either doesn't have enough power to get the job done efficiently, or is simply heavy to limb with. The Husky 357 or the Stihl 362 is about as big as I'd want to handle for a single-saw operation.
I've got 2 older saws that get used regularly, one is a Husky 242 for limbing and light felling. Similar size and weight to the newer 346, with a bit less power. The bigger saw is a Stihl 044, old but still potent for cutting speed and torque. Truly a pig to limb with compared to the 242.

You all have iPhones, I know, but I love my Android Razr! I also like to have my studio monitors properly positioned, so I appreciate that Genelec has now released a version of SpeakerAngle to supplement an earlier iOS release.
SpeakerAngle is the first digital tool that allows anyone to correctly set and match the angling ("toe-in") of both stereo and 7.1 surround sound speakers, helping to ensure optimum audio fidelity. Easy and intuitive to use, SpeakerAngle was co-developed by Genelec and AudioApps (a new mobile apps company founded by industry veteran Howard Massey).
In the app, dedicated onscreen speaker icons move as the actual speaker is rotated, while number boxes below each speaker icon continuously display the angle of the speaker. The number boxes also change color to let users know when their speaker is angled within industry recommendations, and when it is angled to the same degree as the other one in the pair (i.e. left and right in stereo systems; front left/front right, rear left/rear right and side left/side right in 7.1 surround systems). Detailed information screens provide a tutorial on speaker angling, as well as step-by-step instructions for using SpeakerAngle.

Hackers' next target? Maybe your facility's control systems
Flash back to Super Bowl XLVII when the entire Superdome was plunged into darkness. Did someone merely flip a switch? Forget to pay the bill? Or was it something more serious? In our post-9/11 world, terrorism immediately comes to mind. In the end, Entergy New Orleans, a unit of Entergy that supplies power to the Superdome, said a relay device had failed, calming most conspiracy theories.
Even though the incident was limited to mechanical failure, cybersecurity experts say the Super Bowl blackout is the closest public example of the consequences of when industrial control systems fail, or even worse, fall into the wrong hands.
In an exclusive report obtained by CNBC, independent cybersecurity researchers Billy Rios and Terry McCorkle, along with Michael Schell, global industrial control system representative for Cylance, warn that thousands of public and private facilities nationwide are vulnerable to cyberattack through the very systems that control a building's operations, known as industrial control systems (ICS) or building management systems (BMS).
They say though a malicious hacker's intent may not always be to create a scenario like the Super Bowl blackout, or worse; targeting an ICS or BMS is more likely an effort to find an alternative way into an organization's network.
(Read more: Car hacking: The next global cybercime?)
"These systems are what we call cyber-to-physical systems, it's one of the small places where you can use a computer to actually have a physical effect on something," said Rios, co-author of the report.
It's not just the nation's critical infrastructure cyberexperts obsess about securing, it's also your company's headquarters, your neighborhood fire station, the community hospital, schools and even some of our nation's largest recreational venues.
Why? Because these systems control things like access control systems, security cameras, elevators, HVAC and lighting systems, and while it may not seem like tampering with such systems, if hacked into, could cause substantial damage, Rios and McCorkle say the potential economic damage from a malicious attack on a BMS system is the real concern.
"Every Fortune 1000 company is affected by this. If they have a corporate campus they're going to be affected by this in some way. So whether that means [someone] could shut down their data center which essentially shuts down their business or whether that means [someone] could create an annoyance for their employees by turning the air conditioning off or turning the lights off at inopportune times, we know that impact is very wide," Rios said.
The report, which has been submitted to the Department of Homeland Security for review, names five large sports stadiums running industrial control system software, which both cybersecurity experts and the DHS have confirmed has known vulnerabilities.
(Read more: Defense networks vulnerable to cyberattack: Expert)
In a statement to CNBC, the DHS said: The Industrial Control Systems Cyber Emergency Response Team (ICS-CERT) "has been working directly with software manufacturers as well as with potentially affected facilities to develop and implement mitigation strategies as necessary. As part of DHS' ongoing efforts to enhance the security and resiliency of the nation's critical infrastructure, ICS-CERT actively collaborates and shares information with public and private sector partners every day in the face of constantly evolving cyber threats to the nation's critical infrastructure."
Vulnerabilities in software are flaws that can allow a hacker to infiltrate a network. Software vendors will issue "patches," or a fix, once the vulnerability is discovered but this can sometimes take months. These vulnerabilities, Rios and McCorkle say, make building management systems more prone to a possible breach and cyberattack for any relatively experienced hacker with the right tools.
Part of the problem, cyberexperts say, is that when it comes to building management systems there are many parties involved in selling, implementing and maintaining the systems, leading to a complicated web of responsible parties.
CNBC found this to be true when we sought comment from each of the five sports stadiums and their third-party contractors mentioned in the report. Several did not return calls for comment, while others acknowledged the software vulnerability we were inquiring about and were able to provide comment in time for publication.
WattStopper, a third-party integrator of BMS for two of the stadiums mentioned, told CNBC it has been working over the past several months with all of its customers to upgrade their systems and continues to advise customers about their security options and best practices.
(Read more: Hackers sell Social Security info)
WattStopper also tells CNBC that it "worked with the project team at Bryant-Denny Stadium [at The University of Alabama] for several weeks to upgrade their system and that work has been completed." Calls seeking confirmation of the upgrade from representatives at Bryant-Denny Stadium were not returned.
Marlins Park, home of the Miami Marlins, also mentioned in the report, told CNBC, "The Marlins have installed security measures protecting all Marlins Park systems from Internet vulnerabilities." WattStopper made recommendations to the Marlins on upgrading their systems.
So what would a cyberattack on one of these systems actually look like? Many experts, including Rios and McCorkle, are reticent to offer details of an attack that succeeded in compromising a facility's system. Privacy concerns and fears of exposing an organization to even more cyberattacks keep most successful breaches in the dark and out of the press.
But such attacks have happened, according to the DHS' U.S. Computer Emergency Readiness Team (US-CERT) that tracks and reports on cyber-incidents and software vulnerabilities.
(Read more: Protecting the markets from hackers)
Earlier this year it was reported in the ICS-CERT monitor newsletter that hackers penetrated the building energy management system of a New Jersey manufacturing company in late 2012. Intruders successfully exploited a weak credential storage vulnerability to access the organization's EMS, controlled by Tridium's Niagara software.
Tridium has since issued several security patches for its software, but experts say many more vulnerabilities continue to exist across various brand names of BMS software, and hackers, whether it's just out of idle curiosity or malicious intent, are unrelenting in their attempts to try and break in.
But because the vast majority of critical infrastructure in the U.S. is owned and operated by private companies, a larger framework for cooperation between both the public and private sectors is needed.
McKenney's, a third-party integrator of building management systems, has been working to raise awareness of BMS vulnerabilities through its training center in Atlanta.
As part of the effort, the company maintains a demonstration center equipped with decoy BMS software, also known as a honeypot, which is connected to the Internet to both demonstrate how an attack could take place and also to monitor how often hackers are attempting to penetrate an Internet-facing log-on screen.
"We implemented the honeypot in March, under the direction of Rios and McCorkle. We built a system that looks to be like any small data center and we put a piece of monitoring software on there that we wrote. Since we implemented it, we've been hit over 30,000 times" by unauthorized attempts to breach the system, said Fred Gordy, technology evangelist-enterprise intelligence at McKenney's.
(Read more: Six charged in biggest credit card hack on record)
Gordy says it categorizes hacking attempts as "aggressive" by looking at the username and password combinations the adversary tries to get in with—most common being "admin," "admin" and "demo," "demo."
"If they go over about three attempts we consider that somebody who's actively probing [the system], and if they exploit a known vulnerability in the software to bypass security, we consider that aggressive," Gordy added.

In so many ways, it's been a great year for Portland Parks & Recreation.
We presented the biggest Summer Free for All lineup ever, hosting more than 130,000 safe, supervised playground visits and serving almost 80,000 free, nutritious lunches to Portland kids.
We opened new community gardens all over town, helping more Portlanders than ever before access their own fresh, healthy food.
The 20th annual Community Survey of Portland residents showed that 86% of you felt good or very good about how we take care of our parks.
Now, we're very proud to ring in the new year with a #1 ranking from Travel & Leisure Magazine, which put Portland at the top of the list for "Public Parks & Access to the Outdoors" as well as "Quality of Life and Visitor Experience."
Congratulations to the amazing staff at PP&R for all of this well-deserved recognition!

Lot of P.D. are using LIDAR speed guns, this device should be pointed at front or back of the vehicle, it does read continuously if the aim is triggered so if you are accelerating it will record highest achieved speed during session, at that point decent radar detector will most likely let you know you are targeted but at this point it doesn't matter.
In Chicago area if you are speeding about 10-13 mph in 45 mph during normal work traffic with out other traffic infractions you will most likely not get pulled over. Beam generated by LIDAR is extremely narrow, just few degrees even in a long distance. Last edited by 6thspeed; 12-06-2012 at 06:48 AM.. |
Someone posts a link to a $250 model on ebay? Wt*? That is over 8 times the cost of this Cobra! Granted, I would prefer an Escort brand... but this is post for an item that is $30!! Unless you have some reviews you can link to that show this is a bad model? You can post your own Escort radar "hot deals" link? instead of hijacking this one?

Why are you so hot about it? Do you "work" for Cobra or something? |

ERK2 Background
MAP kinases, also known as extracellular signal-regulated kinases (ERKs), act as an integration point for multiple biochemical signals, and are involved in a wide variety of cellular processes such as proliferation, differentiation, transcription regulation and development. ERK is a versatile protein kinase that regulates many cellular functions. Growing evidence suggests that extracellular signal-regulated protein kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2) plays a crucial role in promoting cell death in a variety of neuronal systems, including neurodegenerative diseases. It is believed that the magnitude and the duration of ERK1/2 activity determine its cellular function. Activation of ERK1/2 are implicated in the pathophysiology of spinal cord injury (SCI). ERK2 signaling is a novel target associated with the deleterious consequences of spinal injury. ERK-2, also known as Mitogen-activated protein kinase 1 (MAPK1), is a member of the protein kinase superfamily and MAP kinase subfamily. MKP-3 is a dual specificity phosphatase exclusively specific to MAPK1 for its substrate recognition and dephosphorylating activity. The activation of MAPK1 requires its phosphorylation by upstream kinases. Upon activation, MAPK1 translocates to the nucleus of the stimulated cells, where it phosphorylates nuclear targets. MAPK1 is involved in both the initiation and regulation of meiosis, mitosis, and postmitotic functions in differentiated cells by phosphorylating a number of transcription factors such as ELK1. MAPK1 acts as a transcriptional repressor which represses the expression of interferon gamma-induced genes. Transcriptional activity is independent of kinase activity. The nuclear-cytoplasmic distribution of ERK2 is regulated in response to various stimuli and changes in cell context. Furthermore, the nuclear flux of ERK2 occurs by several energy- and carrier-dependent and -independent mechanisms. ERK2 has been shown to translocate into and out of the nucleus by facilitated diffusion through the nuclear pore, interacting directly with proteins within the nuclear pore complex, as well as by karyopherin-mediated transport. ERK2 interacts with the PDE4 catalytic unit by binding to a KIM (kinase interaction motif) docking site located on an exposed beta-hairpin loop and an FQF (Phe-Gln-Phe) specificity site located on an exposed alpha-helix. These flank a site that allows phosphorylation by ERK, the functional outcome of which is orchestrated by the N-terminal UCR1/2 (upstream conserved region 1 and 2) modules.

Israel dismisses letter in favor of EU settlement guidelines
09/17/2013 00:44
Jerusalem shuns words of 'biased former officials,' says the former officials are no longer relevant.

Israel dismissed on Monday a letter by former European leaders calling on the EU to stick by its settlement guidelines.
As far as Jerusalem is concerned, the words of biased former officials are no longer significant.
"The people who signed the letter are no longer relevant and do not have control or say in the EU decision-making process," a Foreign Ministry spokesperson said. "This reflects their own biased positions and does not surprise us.
Secretary of State John Kerry has made it clear that these guidelines are not productive for the peace process or the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian discussions which have been held recently."
The letter by a group of former European statesmen, known as the Eminent European Persons Group, called on the EU not to backtrack on the settlement guidelines banning all EU cooperation with entities beyond the Green Line, including east Jerusalem and the Golan Heights. The letter was sent to the EU's 28 foreign ministers.
The 15-member group includes former French Foreign Minister Hubert Verdine, who is one of its co-chairs, former EU foreign policy chief Javier Solana, who was NATO's secretary-general, and former Spanish foreign minister and Middle East envoy Miguel Moratinos.
The letter calls for the settlement guidelines to be upheld with regard to the ongoing Horizon 2020 negotiations.
Israel has said it would not join the 80-billion-euro R&D project under the settlement guidelines, and last week two meetings were held on the matter – one in Jerusalem and the other in Brussels.
Talks of modifying the implementation of the guidelines in such a way that Israel would be able to participate in the project are ongoing.
Kerry called earlier this month for a delay in the implementation of the directive, as have some European political leaders.
Responding angrily to the letter, European Jewish Congress President Moshe Kantor called it "a danger to peace, as it hands one side a political victory without having to compromise and deepens the Palestinian feeling that they can gain more outside of negotiations than in them."
In a full-page advertisement in Monday's
Financial Times
, Kantor said the letter was discriminatory and would ultimately harm the success of peace efforts underway for the first time in three years.
"From the well-over 100 territorial disputes in the world, the European Union has mandated the creation of a clause in every agreement denying European funding to, and cooperation with, institutions from only one nation involved in a territorial dispute: Israel," Kantor wrote.
"What makes the situation far worse is that the European Union is abrogating agreements that it signed and witnessed," he said. "The Oslo Accords, the basis for the peace negotiations, specifically stipulated that the current status of the territories, and its residents, will not be changed or harmed ahead of final status negotiations, to which the parties have recently returned."
Deputy Defense Minister Danny Danon also accused the former EU officials of harming the peace process.
"Former European officials never cease to amaze," he said. "They have crossed the line of criticism of the State of Israel. I expect the European leadership to condemn this move."

So I always forget to take pictures of the hair that I do. I finally remembered thankfully because this wasn't the typical "little off the sides and a tiny bit off the top" cut. He started out with the same long length (about 6-7 inches) all around his head. Turned into a messy almost pomp.
This is my first Saturday night off and I'm wrapped in a blanket, drinking an Apple Cider Vinegar drink that supposed to help me naturally get rid of this illness, all while watching Felicity. Kind of enjoying it though…

While some celebs can't stand constantly being photographed, January Jones doesn't mind the paparazzi outside her Los Feliz home.
"The weird thing is, it kind of makes me feel safe," the Mad Men star, 33, told USA Today. "I live alone and I feel like they're always watching. If someone were to come in and rob me, there's photographers. It's like the best security system ever."
But photogs aren't the only safety measure Jones has taken. In addition to her "yappy" dog, a Navy SEAL friend gave her a foot-thick steel door for her bedroom. Said the actress, "At night I crank it and it's a safe room."
While she may seem overly cautious, Jones hasn't let her split with Jason Sudeikis last month scare her off from another celebrity romance.
"I'd definitely do it again," she said. "You date whoever you have a connection with. Ideally it would be easier to meet someone not in your business. But what are the chances I'm going to meet some great scientist that understands I have to make out with other guys on a daily basis?"

The news:
The Commission will release jointly with the Organisation of Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) the results of the Survey of Adult Skills.
The Survey will for the first time provide comparable data on literacy, numeracy and problem solving skills for the adult population in 24 countries. The results highlight striking differences in skills levels between countries.
The findings confirm that a high proportion of the European workforce has a low level of skills, which is likely to present major challenges for European countries as the labour market demand for skills increases in the future. Furthermore the results suggest that many European adults cannot use ICT effectively.
The survey results are expected to become a landmark for assessing adult skills, just as the well-known PISA (Programme for International Student Assessment) for 15 years old pupils.
The event:
Androulla Vassiliou, the European Commissioner for Education, Culture, Multilingualism and Youth, together with Angel Gurría, the Secretary-General of the OECD, will present the main findings of the Survey and elaborate on their importance for education and training policies in Europe.
Press releases, country notes, reports and executive summaries will be available on the day.

Suns Strokes: Phoenix tops Philadelphia, bounces back from worst loss of season
Miles Plumlee scored 22 points and grabbed 13 rebounds and Eric Bledsoe and Goran Dragic each scored more than 20 to lead the Suns past the Philadelphia 76ers, 115-101, less than 24 hours after losing to the Golden State Warriors by 29 -- their largest margin of defeat this season.
Phoenix used another big first quarter to jump to an early lead, scoring 36 points in the game's first 12 minutes. The Suns led by three at halftime, but steadily grew their lead by the time the clock wound down.
Philadelphia's Michael Carter-Williams and Thaddeus Young combined to score 57 points, but seven of the 11 76ers that played scored less than 10 while five didn't score at all.
The Suns were clicking offensively, thanks in large part to the best offensive game of Plumlee's young career. His 22 points came on 10-of-14 shooting, and he added four offensive rebounds.
Bledsoe and Dragic continued to show that a dual point guard system can be effective -- they combined for 41 points and nine assists -- and Marcus Morris added 18 points off the bench.
Defensively, the Suns held Philadelphia to 39 percent shooting and forced 20 turnovers to the 76ers' 19 assists. Phoenix won three of the four quarters, and three of the Suns' starters had a +/- of better than +10.
Despite Philadelphia's poor shooting night, three 76ers scored more than 20 points -- Young, Carter-Williams and Tony Wroten. While it's good that Phoenix limited the 76ers as a whole, letting three players go off typically isn't a recipe for success.
The Suns scored 31 fast break points while allowing just 14.
Phoenix has won nine of its eleven games since losing back-to-back contests to start December.
The Suns hit the road again on Monday, when they take on the Los Angeles Clippers at the Staples Center. Tip-off is at 8:30 p.m. and can be heard on Arizona Sports 620.
