Damania lab discovers gene that suppresses herpesviruses
Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) and Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) hide within the worldwide human population. While dormant in the vast majority of those infected, these active herpesviruses can develop into several forms of cancer. In an effort to understand and eventually develop treatments for these viruses, researchers at the University of North Carolina have identified a family of human genes known as Tousled-like kinases (TLKs) that play a key role in the suppression and activation of these viruses.

Began performing at the Lewiston Civic Theater in Idaho |
Chaske (pronounced "Chess-Kay") Spencer was born in Oklahoma and was of Lakota (Sioux) Nation, Nez Perce, Cherokee, Creek, French, and Dutch heritage. His father was a counselor at a local high school while his mother taught at a nearby alternative high school. He began acting at a very young age, performing at the Lewiston Civic Theater, before graduating from Clearwater Valley High School in Kooskia, ID. The future star attended Lewis Clark State College for a year before deciding to pursue a full time acting career.
Spencer's passion for acting led him to New York City, where he waited tables and bartended in between taking drama classes and going on auditions. He made his theater debut in an off-Broadway production of "Dracula," playing the title role. Spencer appeared in several other New York theater productions before television/film casting director Rene Haynes discovered the young actor and helped him land his first feature film role in "Skins" (2002), in which he played the young Rudy Yellow Lodge, a Sioux Indian police investigator seeking justice for a wrongful murder committed on his reservation. Haynes proved very instrumental in Spencer's burgeoning acting career, helping him land roles in two more projects - the made-for-television movie "DreamKeeper" (ABC, 2003) and "Into the West" (TNT, 2005), an epic miniseries about the 19th Century settling of the American West, told from both the settlers' and the Native Americans' perspective.
Spencer did not know much about the 2005 novel Twilight nor the successful 2008 big screen adaptation when he auditioned for a part in its sequel "The Twilight Saga: New Moon." The film introduced the Wolf Pack, a strapping group of young men from the Quileute tribe who transform into werewolves. Spencer auditioned for all the roles and was eventually picked to play Sam Uley, the Wolf Pack's leader and mentor to the young wolf, Jacob (Taylor Lautner). In order to portray the physically fit and intimidating character, Spencer endured a rigorous workout regimen that made him 25 pounds heavier in just two months. His physical transformation and camaraderie with his fellow Wolf Pack co-stars - which included Lautner and newcomers Alex Meraz, Kiowa Gordon and Bronson Pelletier - helped the actor commit to his role as the dominant werewolf, equally strong in battle and conviction. Spencer would reprise his role as Sam Uley in "The Twilight Saga: Eclipse" (2010), the third film in the franchise that explored more of his character's back story and the Wolf Pack's promise to protect humans from savage vampires.

Product Description
An only child, Frances Cleveland was born in Buffalo, New York in 1864. Her father's partner, Grover, bought her first baby carriage and doted on her as if she were his own. After her father's death, Grover carefully guided her education as she entered Wells College. With Mrs. Folsom's permission, Cleveland continued to correspond with her and continued to shower her with gifts and flowers. Soon, affection turned to romance and the couple were wed at the White House in 1886. During her husband's second term she remained in public favor and had become one of the most popular women ever to serve as hostess.

text: The 7 Best Big Sedans for the Least Dough Times are toughand so are our roads. But fear not. The oversize sedan may seem like a historical footnote, but there are plenty of contemporary cruisers that can glide across pavement and won't cost you a fortune. We picked apart seven of these posh rides to discover which is the best sedan for your buck. By Michael Frank Email Comments 0 Share Back 5 of 7 Next Return to Gallery Return to Gallery Return to Gallery Return to Gallery Back Next View Larger View Thumbnails Ford Taurus $25,555; 122.4 cubic feet; $208.78 per cubic foot The Taurus is a darn nice car. It's got a solid ride, a somewhat higher seating position than you'd expect in a sedan (almost crossover altitude), a rocket-smooth V6 that's quick to rev, and a slick interior that's as nice as Toyota's and more modern and stylish to boot. Its trunk is enormous (20.1 cubic feet versus 15 to 16 for the rest of the group), and it finishes either at the front or solidly mid-pack for every interior-space index except one: rear legroom. The Taurus has 38.1 inches, which is tolerable but the worst (in a tie) in this lineup. The Ford is also the only car in this class that can be had with AWD, which you can get without cracking the $30,000 mark. For drivers in snow country, this makes the Taurus a great deal compared with anything else in this contest. We wish it offered better fuel economy than 18 city/28 highway, but at 4015 pounds this is one heavy carnearly 700 pounds heavier than the Passat.

Dropbox buys popular e-mail app Mailbox
Dropbox has acquired the popular e-mail app Mailbox, the two companies announced today in separate blog posts.
The team behind Mailbox wrote that the app -- which delivers Gmail messages to the iPhone or iPod Touch -- will remain, but it needs a company like Dropbox to help it grow. It wants to add more e-mail providers and build apps for more devices, but the 14-person company doesn't have the staff to do those things.

WELLINGTON/SYDNEY, April 29 (Reuters) - The New Zealand and Australian dollars were modestly lower on Monday as uninspiring U.S. growth data and a steady policy approach from the Bank of Japan dampened demand for the commodity linked currencies.
* The Aussie at $1.0287, from Friday's late local level of $1.0309, having ranged between $1.0263 and $1.0323 in Friday's overnight session.
* Aussie support seen at $1.0250 and below that $1.0220, while resistance at $1.03200 and then $1.0350.
* The New Zealand dollar also eases against the U.S. dollar at around $0.8485, from Friday's $0.8528. Immediate support is found at $0.8450 and then $0.8430, with resistance seen at $0.8530.
* The U.S. dollar fell to its lowest against the yen in more than a week as the Bank of Japan left policy unchanged and data showed the U.S. economy expanded more slowly than expected in the first quarter.
* The BoJ did not announce new monetary initiatives on Friday, while policymakers were divided over whether the central bank can meet its target for 2 percent inflation in two years.
* U.S. Q1 gross domestic product rose at a 2.5 percent annualised rate, missing expectations for 3.0 percent growth.
* Speculators trim net long positions in Antipodeans, particularly in the Aussie, which had been around record longs.
* The BoJ's lack of action on Friday supported the yen, which inched higher. The Aussie trades at 100.68 yen from Friday's 101.56 yen, while the kiwi fetches 83.04 yen from 84.00 yen.
* The Antipodeans have touched five-year highs on the yen this month, up nearly 16 percent so far this year, helped by speculation the money created by the BOJ will eventually find a home in offshore higher yielding assets.
* The South Pacific currencies also helped by the Peoples Bank of China's fixing of the yuan against the U.S. dollar at its highest since 2005, implying Chinese firms will have more spending power to buy Australian and New Zealand exports. China is the biggest export market for both countries.
* Market activity expected to be dampened on Monday by Japan being on holiday.
* This week sees a slew of events and data, including Federal Reserve and European Central Bank policy meetings and key U.S. employment data.
* No data in either Australia or New Zealand on Monday. This week sees trade, building and wholesale inflation data, along with a speech by Reserve Bank of Australia Asst. Governor Malcolm Edey.
* NZ data light through the week with building, business confidence and dairy giant Fonterra's latest auction.
* Australian government bonds edge higher, with the three-year contract up 0.01 points at 97.430, while the 10-year contract adds 0.025 points to 96.875.
* New Zealand government bonds open flat.

Born in 1788, Lord Byron was one of the leading figures of the Romantic Movement in early 19th century England. The notoriety of his sexual escapades is surpassed only by the beauty and brilliance of his writings. After leading an unconventional lifestyle and producing a massive amount of emotion-stirring literary works, Byron died at a young age in Greece pursuing romantic adventures of heroism.
"Pleasure's a sin, and sometimes sin's a pleasure."
"Absence—that common cure of love."
"There is something pagan in me that I cannot shake off. In short, I deny nothing, but doubt everything."
"Love will find a way through paths where wolves fear to prey."
"If I don't write to empty my mind, I go mad."

Born George Gordon Noel Byron on January 22, 1788, Lord Byron was the sixth Baron Byron of a rapidly fading aristocratic family. A clubfoot from birth left him self-conscious most of his life. As a boy, young George endured a father who abandoned him, a schizophrenic mother and a nurse who abused him. As a result he lacked discipline and a sense of moderation, traits he held on to his entire life.
In 1798, at age 10, George inherited the title of his great-uncle, William Byron, and was officially recognized as Lord Byron. Two years later, he attended Harrow School in London, where he experienced his first sexual encounters with males and females. In 1803, Byron fell deeply in love with his distant cousin, Mary Chaworth, and this unrequited passion found expression in several poems, including "Hills of Annesley" and "The Adieu."
From 1805 to 1808, Byron attended Trinity College intermittently, engaged in many sexual escapades and fell deep into debt. During this time, he found diversion from school and partying with boxing, horse riding and gambling. In June 1807, he formed an enduring friendship with John Cam Hobhouse and was initiated into liberal politics, joining the Cambridge Whig Club.
Early Travel and Writing
After receiving a scathing review of his first volume of poetry, Hours of Idleness, in 1808, Byron retaliated with the satirical poem "English Bards and Scotch Reviewers." The poem attacked the literary community with wit and satire, and gained him his first literary recognition. Upon turning 21, Byron took his seat in the House of Lords. A year later, with John Hobhouse, he embarked on a grand tour through the Mediterranean Sea and began writing "Childe Harold's Pilgrimage," a poem of a young man's reflections on travel in foreign lands.
In July 1811, Byron returned to London after the death of his mother, and in spite of all her failings, her passing plunged him into a deep mourning. High praise by London society pulled him out of his doldrums, as did a series of love affairs, first with the passionate and eccentric Lady Caroline Lamb, who described Byron as "mad, bad and dangerous to know," and then with Lady Oxford, who encouraged Byron's radicalism. Then, in the summer of 1813, Byron apparently entered into an intimate relationship with his half sister, Augusta, now married. The tumult and guilt he experienced as a result of these love affairs were reflected in a series of dark and repentant poems, "The Giaour," "The Bride of Abydos" and "The Corsair."
In September 1814, seeking to escape the pressures of his amorous entanglements, Byron proposed to the educated and intellectual Anne Isabella Milbanke (also known as Annabella Milbanke). They married in January 1815, and in December of that year, their daughter, Augusta Ada, better known as Ada Lovelace, was born.

The First Genomewide Interaction and Locus-Heterogeneity Linkage Scan in Bipolar Affective Disorder: Strong Evidence of Epistatic Effects between Loci on Chromosomes 2q and 6q The American Journal of Human Genetics, Volume 81, Issue 5, 1 November 2007, Pages 974-986 Rami Abou Jamra, Robert Fuerst, Radka Kaneva, Guillermo Orozco Diaz, Fabio Rivas, Fermin Mayoral, Eudoxia Gay, Sebastian Sans, Maria Jose González, Susana Gil, Francisco Cabaleiro, Francisco del Rio, Fermin Perez, Jesus Haro, Georg Auburger, Vihra Milanova, Christian Kostov, Vesselin Chorbov, Vessela Stoyanova, Amelia Nikolova-Hill, George Onchev, Ivo Kremensky, Assen Jablensky, Thomas G. Schulze, Peter Propping, Marcella Rietschel, Markus M. Nöthen, Sven Cichon, Thomas F. Wienker and Johannes Schumacher Abstract We present the first genomewide interaction and locus-heterogeneity linkage scan in bipolar affective disorder (BPAD), using a large linkage data set (52 families of European descent; 448 participants and 259 affected individuals). Our results provide the strongest interaction evidence between BPAD genes on chromosomes 2q22-q24 and 6q23-q24, which was observed symmetrically in both directions (nonparametric LOD [NPL] scores of 7.55 on 2q and 7.63 on 6q; P<.0001 and P=.0001, respectively, after a genomewide permutation procedure). The second-best BPAD interaction evidence was observed between chromosomes 2q22-q24 and 15q26. Here, we also observed a symmetrical interaction (NPL scores of 6.26 on 2q and 4.59 on 15q; P=.0057 and .0022, respectively). We covered the implicated regions by genotyping additional marker sets and performed a detailed interaction linkage analysis, which narrowed the susceptibility intervals. Although the heterogeneity analysis produced less impressive results (highest NPL score of 3.32) and a less consistent picture, we achieved evidence of locus heterogeneity at chromosomes 2q, 6p, 11p, 13q, and 22q, which was supported by adjacent markers within each region and by previously reported BPAD linkage findings. Our results provide systematic insights in the framework of BPAD epistasis and locus heterogeneity, which should facilitate gene identification by the use of more-comprehensive cloning strategies.

Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is the most common inherited retinal dystrophy, with extensive allelic and nonallelic genetic heterogeneity. Autosomal recessive RP (arRP) is the most common form of RP worldwide, with at least nine loci known and accountable for ∼10%–15% of all cases. Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is the major inhibitory transmitter in the CNS. Different GABA receptors are expressed in all retinal layers, and inhibition mediated by GABA receptors in the human retina could be related to RP. We have selected chromosomal regions containing genes that encode the different subunits of the GABA receptors, for homozygosity mapping in inbred families affected by arRP. We identify a new locus for arRP, on chromosome 6, between markers D6S257 and D6S1644. Our data suggest that 10%–20% of Spanish families affected by typical arRP could have linkage to this new locus. This region contains subunits GABRR1 and GABRR2 of the GABA-C receptor, which is the effector of lateral inhibition at the retina.

11/20/2010 - A movement across the nation to lighten the load on taxpayers from public-employee pensions got a boost at the polls this month. Voters in at least a half-dozen states, including Florida, elected governors who vowed to reduce pension costs. Voters in California and Illinois cut such costs on their own through local initiatives.In the 10 months preceding the elections, 19 states reduced their pension bills by raising employee contributions or curbing benefits, according to a new study from The Pew Center on the States. Last year, 11 states took similar measures, and in 2008, eight did.So far the pension reform wave hasn't washed over Florida, where state and local taxpayers pour in more than $3 billion a year to fund public retirement benefits. Even timid proposals to reduce pension costs died during the last legislative session.Read the entire editorial Don't Ignore Pensions on the Orlando Sentinel Web site.

Syndicate Product 22: SIX CATEGORIES
28 pages / 1/6-letter size with cardstock covers / $2
28 pages / 1/6-letter size with cardstock covers / $2
In the beginning of the 1995 novel Microserfs*, Douglas Coupland introduces each of the Microsoft-employed characters through their dream Jeopardy! categories, fields of expertise such as "Career anxieties", "Cats", "Psychotic loser friends", "Bulk shopping", and "Macintosh products".
Although I can't remember much else from this nearly twenty-year old novel, these character "introductions" remained stuck in a shadowy corner of my mind. It was an interesting way to describe the characters, a way of summing up a person's quirks descriptively and quickly. It was a snapshot of what was to come in the story.
In the years since, I've mentally made lists of my ideal Jeopardy! rounds, with categories like "The Simpsons, Seasons 1 to 8" and "Postage" and "Job Dissatisfaction".
I wasn't the only person who ever did this, was I?
In the following pages, you'll find ideal Jeopardy! boards from 25 contributors, including fellow zine publishers, writers, historians, artists, and friends. Thank you all for contributing! As said many times before, Syndicate Product wouldn't exist without you.
Disclaimer: This zine has absolutely no connection to Douglas Coupland, the novel Microserfs, or the television program Jeopardy!

Issue 21B follows the same format as 21A: running commentary on what I've read this year, sometimes in a sentence, sometimes in a few paragraphs. Highly recommended items get a star. Again, it's likely I missed some books, zines, comics, etc.
Syndicate Product 21A:

20 pages / Digest / $2
was not going to keep an obsessive, detailed reading log for 2012
because I was burnt out after producing 2011, 2010, and 2009 editions.
Still, I couldn't stop from at least keeping a list of what I read using
Twitter (@SPConsumption).
When International Zine Month came
around in July, I first decided to make a 24 Hour Zine from that list
and notes, which then turned into a 48 Hour Zine, which then turned into
"it will be done when it gets done".
These aren't critical
reviews, but a running commentary and impressions of what I've read this
year so far. Some items get short essays, others get a sentence. Highly
recommended items get a star.

44 pages / Digest / $4
In this Meta-Comics issue, contributors write and draw about what goes into making their comics, why they read comics, creating comics as a form of therapy, trying to adapt favorite novels into comics, favorite creators and long lost characters and imprints, memories of first comic books and dusty comic book stores, some favorite writers and artists, comics used as comfort during childhood (and adulthood), and finally reading those "racy" comics that they peeped at as a teen but never actually purchased. There are a few first-time Syndicate Product contributors in this issue: Alisa Harris, William Brian MacLean, and Dan Shoemaker. You'll recognize many regulars as well: JB Winter, Delaine Derry Green, Andrew Wales, Andrew Coltrin, Mike Faloon, Davida Gypsy Breier, Jen McCleary, Ken Bausert, Sean Stewart, Eric Lyden, Steve Bojanowksi, and Juleigh Howard-Hobson.

Facebook app won't work on home wireless...?
Hi all
Not sure if anyone can help with this, my Facebook app won't work at home on wireless. When I switch wireless off Facebook refreshes, but it's very slow due to a bad signal at home. Frustrating! Can anyone help with this?
Thank you! - 01-26-2013, 06:40 AM #2
Re: Facebook app won't work on home wireless...?
This might be a problem with your "wireless connection connectivity" not being stable. Unplug your router or refresh the connection. Also, uninstall and reinstall the FB app.
Good luck.

Pirates (AP graphic / April 3, 2013) |
PITTSBURGH (AP) — Wandy Rodriguez allowed just two hits over 6 2-3 innings and the Pittsburgh Pirates edged the Chicago Cubs 3-0 on Wednesday night for their first win of the year.
Andrew McCutchen smacked an RBI double for the Pirates. Starling Marte and Gaby Sanchez also drove in a run, more than enough for Rodriguez on a frigid night.
Jason Grilli, promoted to the closer's role in the offseason, worked the ninth for his first save.
Rodriguez, acquired in a trade deadline deal with Houston last July, struck out six and walked one in a continuation of his strong spring.
Edwin Jackson gave up two runs in five innings but lost to the Pirates for the first time in seven career starts. The Cubs produced just two singles and only put a runner on third once.
The 34-year-old Rodriguez helped the Dominican Republic to the World Baseball Classic championship last month, going 1-0 with a 0.96 ERA in two starts. He carried the momentum forward in his first April start for someone other than the Astros.
Expertly mixing his breaking ball with a pinpoint fastball, Rodriguez kept the Cubs off balance all night.
And unlike the opener — when the Pirates couldn't take advantage of a steady performance by A.J. Burnett — the Pirates gave Rodriguez some help.
Pittsburgh took its first lead of the season when Garrett Jones led off the fourth with a single and McCutchen followed with a double to the corner in left. McCutchen came home when Gaby Sanchez's sharp grounder rolled under the glove of shortstop Starlin Castro.
Rodriguez had little trouble until the seventh, when his command temporarily abandoned him. He drilled Anthony Rizzo in the shoulder, gave up a single to Alfonso Soriano and pelted Welington Castillo in the knee to load the bases with one out.

NEW YORK NURSE: December 2009
On Oct.23, Bernard Hunter was awarded the "Good Samaritan" award by the Parkchester, Bronx branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP).
The honor for the registered nurse, who works in the hemodialysis unit at Terence Cardinal Cooke Health Care Center (TCC), is a result of tireless work for his community over the span of many years.
According to Hunter, this branch of the NAACP focuses on supporting voters' rights, minimizing disparities in health care, and making sure everyone is accounted for in the census. The census will determine the amount of funding available for local programs. The award cited "the many hours of assistance and encouragement you have unselfishly given to others."
"It was a big surprise for me," Hunter said. "I had no idea. There are so many people out there who have done great things."
Hunter also is a New York City Medical Reserve volunteer who is currently on standby to administer H1N1 influenza vaccines in the Bronx. "I'm just waiting to see what site they want me to go to," he said.
Through his church, Hunter served as chair of the fundraising committee for the construction of the Grand Concourse Academy Charter School, working the phones for three years. The charter school opened its doors in 2004, next to the church, and currently has 250 enrolled students, from kindergarten through fifth grade.
Hunter was raised by his grandmother.
After graduating from Bronx Community College and Lehman College, he became certified in three nursing
specialties: critical care nursing (CCN); infusion nursing; and dialysis nursing (CDN).
He joined the dialysis team at Terence Cardinal Cook in 1981. It was a small unit then, with 13 dialysis chairs and three shifts of patients. Now there are 22 stations and four shifts of patients.
"The technology has grown tremendously over the years," said Hunter. "Our outcomes are much improved. Now people can live on dialysis for 25 years. Things have really changed. The dialysis machines used to look like washing machines, today they're the size of water bottles. We are able to tailor the dialysis to the patient's needs, and people are living longer as a result."
Hunter's current job title is Quality Assurance Coordinator of Hemodialysis and Renal Services. "I do a lot of monitoring and I am also the anemia manager," he said. It is his responsibility to check the patients' blood counts and the condition of the equipment. "They frequently refer to me as CSI," he said, "because I'm always out on the floor looking at everything."
Hunter served as president of TCC's NYSNA bargaining unit in the late 1980s, during the time that TCC was establishing its Discrete AIDS Unit. "It was an end-of-life unit then. It opened with 15 beds," said Hunter. "At the time, there were labor-management sessions about the type of nurses appropriate for the unit, a lot of talk about staffing the unit, and about nurses going back and forth from the main unit."
"We were always negotiating staffing issues and non-nursing functions," Hunter continued. "I'm retired from that post now, but we consult sometimes. I'm always available. Last winter, I was out there at the candlelight vigil with my red umbrella and my flashlight. They're such a nice committee. They work well together.
"Nursing is not just a job, it's a ministry for me," said Hunter. "I always knew what my calling was. I was always drawn to helping the most vulnerable people."

I am in love with Super Mario Galaxy.
I cannot wait for this to come out!
We bought a Wii for my daughter back around Christmas to conserve my 360. My daughter was playing the 360 to death.
Since then we have been pounding the Wii. I bought Mario Kart, Super Mario Bros. Wii, NHL2K10 and Super Mario Galaxy. I have been glued to SMG since day one. Im up to 108/120 stars. I just need a solid day of playing to finish. Cool thing is I can finally finish Super Mario Sunshine on the Wii.
Love the Mario 3D games.
cant wait for this game, beat the first one a WHILE ago, with both mario and luigi, also got the extra star 121 total. been waiting for this game for-ev-er
Anyone picked it up yet?
I bought it for my daughter a few days ago. I like it! Its basically the same engine as the first but with new puzzles and worlds.
I like the fact that the designers kept the "spirit" of the first game without making it exactly like the first, yet they are quite similar.
If you've ever thought to yourself about a killer game "I wish the sequel was closer to the first.", you'll like SMG2.
Perfect 10s from most review sites. The only thing that is stopping me from buying this is because I haven't turned on my Nintendo Wii in about 16 months.
Facebook: facebook.com/grtoocool Twitter: @LGKTooCool
While it seems like most of you are allergic to the "like" button, I just want to personally say thanks for looking anyway.

I only regret getting rid of my Wii when games like this one come out.
The only problem with me getting this NOW is that I just got Read Dead Redemption...
This is the main (albeit not only) reason I wish I still had my Wii. But I sold it to get my PS3, so I made out okay in the end, even if nothing on the PS3 can top Super Mario Galaxy.

2012 Umea Jazz Festival: Umea, Sweden, October 24-28, 2012
When pianist Esbjorn Svensson died in a tragic diving accident in 2008, putting to an end the remarkable 15-year run of e.s.t. (Esbjörn Svensson Trio)-Europe's most successful jazz act, selling hundreds of thousands of albums, and already beginning to conquer North America-it was almost impossible to imagine its impact on his fellow trio mates, bassist Dan Berglund and drummer Magnus Öström. They didn't just lose a band mate and a dear friend, they lost the gig that had been their almost exclusive focus for the past fifteen years. More like a rock band than a jazz trio, the members of e.s.t. worked as a band, with very few extracurricular activities.
And so, after a couple years of silence-and following, even more tragically, the remarkable Leucocyte (ACT, 2008), which signaled a band still growing and at that point, in considerable transition-both Berglund and Öström began making music again, but this time in their own groups: Berglund with his progressive rock-leaning Tonbruket, with two records out, including its debut, Tonbruket (ACT, 2010) and its follow-up, Dig It to the End (ACT, 2011); and Öström with Thread of Life (ACT, 2011). If Öström's debut as a leader was, perhaps, a tad underwhelming-good, yes, and loaded with plenty of the grooves for which Öström had become known, but lacking a little on the energy front-live, it was something else entirely...and in the best, most surprising way possible.
If the album's material left plenty of space for the group-including, in addition to Öström, keyboardist Gustaf Karlöf, electric guitarist Andreas Hourdakis and bassist Thobias Gabrielsson-live, Thread of Life dug into the music in a far more exhilarating way. Opening with "Afilia Mi," with its wordless theme sung by Öström, Gabrielsson and Hourdakis, let the audience know, in no uncertain terms, that this was going to be a high-energy set with plenty of solo space and some absolutely thundering grooves. Two young members of American saxophonist Kenny Garrett 's group-also performing at Umeå but, sadly, missed in order to focus more on the Scandinavian acts- were seen near the front of the standing room section of the room, clearly digging on what they were hearing.
And why wouldn't they? If Hourdakis seemed like a capable guitarist on record, in performance he commanded a broader range of textures from his Gibson SG guitar, but focusing more often than not on a lightly overdriven, warm and reverb-drenched tone that went from biting one moment, to ethereal the next. Karlöf, while set up with electric keys, spent most of his time on an upright piano, and proved just as capable as Hourdakis in building dynamic, climax-driven solos. Perhaps the biggest surprise was Gabrielsson; a fine enough bassist on the record, performing live, he drove the music- both on bass and keyboards-with a stunning combination of unshakable anchor and occasional injections of impressive, Tony Levin -like slurs and leaps into the upper register.
With a kit augmented by a rack of small gongs as well as a table with electronics, Öström led from behind, which allowed him the opportunity for a busier approach to some of the material. His ability to twist, turn and flip time created a shifting underpinning that challenged both band and audience. A particular highlight came in a new song that- as it ultimately led to a massive ostinato that may have inadvertently referenced '70s Canterbury legend Hatfield and the North's similarly psychedelia-drenched "Shaving is Boring," from its eponymous 1974 Virgin Record debut-was referential rather than imitative, as Karlöf and Hourdakis took lengthy, unfettered solos. On the gentler side, "Ballad for E" may not have enjoyed the star power of guest guitarist Pat Metheny (who appeared on the record), but Hourdakis absolutely acquitted himself in his own inimitable fashion.
Closing with a more grounded version of Thread of Life's "Piano Break Song," Östrom and his group finished a set that combined complex progressive rock leanings with unequivocal fusion tendencies, all played with the kind of energy and commitment that comes from a band which has had the chance to evolve its material in performance. With a set like this, perhaps Öström's best next move would be a live recording.
October 27: Monica Dominique / Palle Danielsson
October 27 started out with a fusion-lite performance by Swedish saxophonist Jonas Knuttson and American bassist Tom Kennedy 's quartet, which also featured impressive keyboardist Charlie Blenzig and drummer Thomas Ojala. Featuring chops aplenty, there was never any doubt that these folks could play, but with a setlist drawing from Kennedy's solo recordings-and albums by pianist Dave Grusin and guitarist Mike Stern -as energetic as it was, it never quite achieved liftoff. Solid grooves, nice charts and strong players does not always a great band make, and if this quartet's show was enjoyable and impressive in the moment, it sadly had little to distinguish itself as a memorable one.
On the other hand, sometimes just a pianist, a bassist and an elegant book of standards is all that's needed for a performance that's both sweet an memorable. Pianist Monica Danielsson may be best-known in Sweden by her married name, Dominique, under which she was an actress in the late '60s/early '70s. She was also member of Bäska Droppar, later changed to Solar Plexus, and cowrote the Eurovision hit song "You're Summer" with her husband Carl-Axel Dominique.
But for those of more international focus, its the Danielsson name that bears more significance. Bassist and brother Palle Danielsson has been a key member of a number of groups over the years, in particular pianist Keith Jarrett 's "Belonging Quartet," also featuring saxophonist Jan Garbarek and drummer Jon Christensen-a group whose live, double-disc set Sleeper: Tokyo, April 16, 1979 (ECM, 2012), is one of the year's best archival releases. He's also been a longstanding member of British pianist John Taylor 's trio with drummer Martin France , heard recently on Requiem for a Dreamer (2011) and Giulia's Thursdays (2012), both in the Italian Cam Jazz label.
Danielsson and Arild Andersen were, for many years, ECM's bassists of choice, and if their work on that esteemed label was undeniably of the tradition even if it wasn't always in the tradition-also imbued with the inescapable markers of their own Swedish and Norwegian cultures-the bassist's recording with his sister, Togetherness (Dominique Records, 2012), reveals, perhaps more than anywhere else, Danielsson's deep roots in and love of the American jazz tradition.
Danielsson and Dominique's Umeå set drew heavily from Togetherness, performing short but sweet versions of iconic standards like "Angel Eyes" and "Begin the Beguine," but also demonstrating their love of classical music with a gentle rendition of Claude Debussy's "Claire de Lune." Dominique's greatest touchstone would have to be pianist Bill Evans , though her harmonic approach was more direct and, if similarly gentle, less impressionistic. Danielsson, a player for all occasions, kept the contexts clear and focused while his sister soloed, taking his own richly lyrical turns but, like his sibling, never overstaying his welcome.

Mazda Protege Problems
Misfires Under Load
Misfires under load (acceleration) can be caused by leaky spark plug boots. When a spark plug boot leaks, it allows the spark to arc, or jump, to the cylinder head. New spark plug wires will be needed.
Engine Cranks and Doesn't Start
An electrically shorted air flow sensor can cause a crank-no start condition. Diagnosis may show that ignition spark is normal, and there are no trouble codes stored.
Idles Rough, Misfires, and Possible Check Engine Light
A loose or corroded ground terminal on the driver's side of the cylinder head can cause a rough idle, misfires, and there may be trouble codes. Restore the ground to the cylinder head.

OK... who got it? And is it true that its the best football video game of all time, or is that just marketing hype?
OK... who got it? And is it true that its the best football video game of all time, or is that just marketing hype?
I bought it, it's good, but I think there are always rooms for improvement, I have it for PS2, I haven't wasted my money on a PS3 yet. Graphics aren't bad for PS2, but I think they could get better, a few more improvements from Madden '07, but I wouldn't call it the best game ever....
I got it for the Wii...
It feels a whole lot more realistic then other Maddens. It's not as fast paced.
I picked it up from Best Buy for 360 of course yesterday besides the constant turnovers I love it so far.
A lot of great games coming out the next few weeks I'm buying Bioshock when it comes out.
RIP Michael Jackson & Steve McNair
I succumbed to the proverbial Madden hype again this year. I tried to stray away from EA, being that I was extremely disappointed with NASCAR 08, FIFA 07, and Madden 07, respectively.
About a month or two ago, I bought 2k's All Pro Football 2k8. That game is pretty sick. Unfortunately, you can only have so much fun playing with a created team before you start missing your real squad....
Which brings me to Madden. I think EA finally put a little bit of effort into this one. The turnovers are crazy, but I think the developers were trying to eliminate cheesy 60 yard bombs of the quarterback's back foot type of plays. Once you get the hang of having to cover up the ball when you run, it's not that bad. The Franchise mode is deep.
So...if you have the means, I'd get both. The All Pro Football for online, and the Madden 08 for your franchise stuff. It sounds financially irresponsible to get both, but 2K has their online servers down to a science, while it seems EA's servers are still notoriously ass. I tried to play an online game of Madden yesterday and it was horrid. Yet if I play an online game of APF2k8, it's completely fluid.
If you only want one, then I would definitely rent both first.
Anyways, that's just my 2 cents.

ETFs that could benefit from Apple dividend growth
These dividend funds added the tech company to their holdings and can now stand to gain from the increased payout.
Following another disappointing earnings report, shares of Apple (AAPL) traded in a wide range Wednesday, but to the stock's credit, it closed with just a modest loss.
Perhaps investors are feeling more cheery knowing that Apple plans to return $100 billion to shareholders by the end of 2015 in a plan that includes a 15% dividend increase.
Exxon Mobil (XOM), the largest U.S. oil company, announced a 10.5% dividend increase Wednesday, meaning the Dow component will pay $11.3 billion in indicated dividends. Still, Apple is the largest U.S. dividend-payer in cash terms.
ETF investors have a few options when it comes to getting a slice of Apple's higher dividend, but those options do not include some of the largest dividend ETFs. Funds such as the Vanguard Dividend Appreciation ETF (VIG) and the SPDR S&P Dividend ETF (SDY), which are fine ETFs in their own right, use length of dividend increase streaks as a primary screening criteria (Benzinga).
Since Apple is still new to the dividend increase game, the stock does not qualify for inclusion in VIG, SDY and related ETFs. A somewhat unheralded beneficiary of Apple's increased dividend could be the First Trust NASDAQ Technology Dividend Index Fund (TDIV). As we noted in March (Benzinga), Apple was about to be included in TDIV's underlying index, the NASDAQ Technology Dividend Index.
At the close of trading on April 23, Apple accounted for 7.2% of TDIV's weight, making it the ETF's fifth-largest holding behind Intel (INTC), Microsoft (MSFT), Cisco Systems (CSCO) and International Business Machines (IBM). TDIV, which debuted in August, has nearly $89 million in assets under management. (Microsoft owns and publishes Top Stocks, an MSN Money site.)
Investors have a few other Apple dividend ETF options in addition to TDIV. In December, WisdomTree (WETF) announced several of its popular dividend funds would include Apple in their lineups (Benzinga).
As of April 23, the $1.57 billion WisdomTree LargeCap Dividend Fund (DLN) had a 2.5% weight to Apple, making the stock ETF's sixth-largest holding just behind Pfizer (PFE) and just ahead of Chevron (CVX).
Apple is also the sixth-largest holding in the WisdomTree Total Dividend Fund (DTD) and the second-largest holding in the WisdomTree Total Earnings Fund (EXT), although EXT is not a pure dividend ETF.
