HARMANâs Martin Lights Up The Night at Pacha Ibiza
AARHUS, Denmark â First started in Sitges, a beautiful city at the south of Barcelona, the Pacha Group has grown into a world-recognized brand with nightclub locations spanning the globe. One of the worldâs most dominant names in the industry, the Ibiza venue is Pacha Groupâs crown jewel and driving force behind the brand. Due to the continuous 8-hour days and aggressive club environments, Pacha Ibiza was in need of reliable, high-quality lighting. Pacha turned to HARMANâs Martin Professional lighting for its flagship venue in Ibiza as well as its future franchise locations.
Pacha Group Technical Director, Toni Pratsâ lighting design at the Pacha Ibiza venue includes several Martin products, including 14 MAC Viper Profiles, 40 MAC 101 wash lights, 14 MAC 350 Entour fixtures, 10 Atomic 3000 DMX fixtures, four Rush MH 1 Profiles, four MAC 250 wash lights and various Martin Tripix LED strips.
âWe are very happy with the MAC Viper series and the MAC 101âs,â commented Prats. âThey are high-quality products that are well suited for the abusive environment and long hours of the season.â
Since initially installing Martin fixtures more than four years ago, the Pacha Ibiza nightclub has undergone a recent lighting renovation, leaving the club almost entirely illuminated by Martin Professional. In addition to the Ibiza venue, the Pacha Group has installed Martin lights at many of its nightclubs around the world including London, Sydney and New York. The Pacha Group is now working with Martin to ensure the new franchises opening in locations such as Dubai and Poland will be outfitted exclusively with Martin lighting equipment.
âMartin has proven its products are reliable and can fully cover all our needs,â continued Prats. âSince we first installed Martin equipment at the Ibiza location, every new product from Martin weâve added has consistently proved to be high-quality, robust and bright! Martin cares about the club market where other brands may focus attention solely on live television and live stage performances. We have developed a strong relationship with Martin because they actively care and engage in our projects.â

It's tempting to view ourselves as put upon, but it's more effective to stay positive and get to work. Reagan took office facing a difficult economy and had to work hard to right the ship. Though the work was far from over, his 1984 re-election campaign focused on the positives, and the phrase "It's morning in America" entered the popular-culture lexicon.

About Mantle Cell LymphomaMCL is an aggressive type of B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) that usually occurs in older adults. The disease typically begins in the lymph nodes but can spread to other tissues, such as bone marrow and liver. Ibrutinib targets the B-cell receptor pathway an important pathway in malignant B-cell growth and proliferation. In the United States there are approximately 5,000 new cases of MCL each year.
About Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia is rare type of lymphoma. The disease begins with a malignant change to the B-cell during its maturation so that it continues to reproduce more malignant B-cells resulting in an overproduction of monoclonal immunoglobulin M antibody (IgM). WM is a hematologic malignancy for which no established standard of care - or approved therapeutic exists. In the United States there are approximately 1,500 new cases each year.
About IbrutinibIbrutinib is an investigational drug designed to specifically target and selectively inhibit an enzyme called Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK). BTK is a key mediator of at least three critical B-cell pro-survival mechanisms occurring in parallel – regulating apoptosis, adhesion, and cell migration and homing. Through these multiple actions, BTK helps to direct malignant B-cells to lymphoid tissues, thus allowing access to a micro environment necessary for survival.
The effectiveness and safety of ibrutinib alone or in combination with other treatments is being studied in several B-cell malignancies, including chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma, mantle cell lymphoma, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, follicular lymphoma, Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia and multiple myeloma. To date five Phase III trials have been initiated with ibrutinib and a total of 27 trials are currently registered on clinicaltrials.gov. About PharmacyclicsPharmacyclics ® is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing and commercializing innovative small-molecule drugs for the treatment of cancer and immune mediated diseases. Our mission and goal is to build a viable biopharmaceutical company that designs, develops and commercializes novel therapies intended to improve quality of life, increase duration of life and resolve serious unmet medical healthcare needs; and to identify promising product candidates based on scientific development and administrational expertise, develop our products in a rapid, cost-efficient manner and pursue commercialization and/or development partners when and where appropriate.

Valencia winger Pablo Hernandez would be 'a great signing' for Swansea City, according to Jonathan de Guzman.
The Swans are reportedly close to sealing a deal for Hernandez after it emerged earlier this week that talks had begun.
Michael Laudrup has already brought in five new faces this summer in the shape of Michu, Chico Flores, Itay Shechter, Kyle Bartley and De Guzman.
De Guzman has seen plenty of Hernandez after also playing in Spain last season, and believes he would be successful at the Liberty Stadium.
"He would be a great signing. He's a very good player, creative and fast," said De Guzman.
"I've played against him in La Liga where he was one of the key players for Valencia
"Every time I saw him play he impressed me.
"He's creative, he's fast and he can score goals from the left wing."

When she was six I came home one afternoon early and found her in my room with my box of art supplies upside down and my collection of long peacock feathers glued to her belt to make a lackluster skirt. The feathers were longer than her legs so when she backed away from me, surprised that I had come home, she tripped and smacked her head against my desk. There was an orange half moon on the horizon of the wood always after that. The funny thing was, I hadn't been angry in the first place. Seven days later she told me she had stolen the peacock feathers because she'd been learning about them in school. Her teacher had told her that peacocks were the most beautiful of all of the animals, and she told me that she wanted to be beautiful too. That night I'd tucked her quilt around her, kissed her sore little forehead and told her; you are already beautiful. I understood how she felt.
When she had just turned seventeen I caught her again. It was Christmas and I had come home a day earlier than planned when our parents had mentioned she planned to drop by for a few days. I took some overdue leave at work and thought how nice it would be to do those childhood things again with her. On the train I had let the shudders of the tracks lull me to sleep, and dreamt of old happy memories of dressing the tree, lifting her high to place the angel on the top. Buying chestnuts... opening presents. When I got home that evening, two boys were wrapped around her - and in the shock of my arrival suddenly three pairs of hands covered her breasts. Ten days later, New Years Eve, I slipped her a little of my champagne as an apology. Once tipsy she whispered to me that she just wanted to be loved. She fell asleep before midnight so I put her in the spare room of the house we were at, put my coat over her, kissed her soon-to-be sore forehead and told her; you are already loved. I understood how she felt.
When she was twenty-eight I found her the last time. She had asked me to visit her but I had been unsure, Gracie was teething and I didn't like to leave Martin to deal with her as he was as sleep deprived as I was, but in the end my conscience got the better of me. My sister never asked me for anything and she often dropped by just to see how I was and check on the kids, so I went. I had a key to her house and thought nothing of using it, despite telling her I wasn't coming over. Wrapped round her this time, not feathers or flesh; a threadbaring rope that would snap too late. Far too late. The note said 'I need the pain to stop, I just want to be gone'. Nineteen days later, I tucked a feather in her pocket and kissed her never-to-be-sore-again forehead, and I told her; you were already gone. I understood how she felt.

America's and Africa's duty in Darfur
A voice of conscience is on a tour of American cities. Former Marine captain Brian Steidle, who saw firsthand the results of Darfur's black Arab Muslims killing black African Muslims, is one of thousands of Americans trying to end that genocide in Sudan.
Mr. Steidle was assigned to help the meager 7,000 soldiers from the 53-nation African Union (AU) operating in Darfur, a province the size of France where 180,000 people have been killed and 2 million more forced to flee their villages by marauding bands backed by Khartoum.
His eyewitness accounts and photographs have helped generate more American interest in Darfur than any other global humanitarian issue, according to the US State Department. From campuses to churches, Darfur has become a rallying cry over the problems of Africa's many ethnic wars, a global indifference to mass killings, and the perverse power politics of big nations in putting other interests ahead of such moral atrocities.
Americans like Steidle are making a difference by pushing the Bush administration to act tougher on the regime in Sudan. Last month, President Bush called for United Nations troops, perhaps with NATO assistance, to replace or supplement the ill-equipped African forces. The Senate, too, passed a resolution urging Bush to improve Darfur's security. And UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan has cited the UN Charter in justifying intervention in Sudan.

Epic? Awesome? Fun? Just fantastic? I don't know how to introduce New York without saying something that's probably been said a million times over. All I know is that we had the best time and I remember coming back home so depressed and wanting to just move out there for good (those feelings have now resided – probably because this post is about three months overdue – sorry!). It's weird how familiar NYC seems when you go there, probably because of all the movies and stereotypes and cliches. And it actually really is all like that. The yellow taxis, hot dog stands, Lady Liberty, the "I <3 NY" t-shirts, skyscrapers – I mean wow these are only a few of the things about NYC that have become so iconic world around. I guess that alone is a sentiment of the city and how special it is. This place has a real impact and as soon as you step out of the subway you're immersed in it – there's no having to look on the map and search for it because it'll hit you in the face….

X-PLR | PARIS | Vincent Opoku
From my reader Vincent:
"I was lucky enough to get my hands on an x100s just before I begun my travels this year and I think it is the single most important photographic equipment I have ever bought. I carry it with me everywhere, it fits into my pockets effortlessly and it just becomes an extension of who I am. As a result of having the x100s in my pocket where ever I go and the travels I have coming up over the next few years, I thought it will be fun to create X-PLR. X-PLR is derived from explore and a play on the X series cameras. My aim is to explore as many different countries and cultures as possible and I will be documenting 99% of my travels with the X100s. X-PLR is still at an experimental phase but I plan to visit some interesting places, my aim is to document things as I go along, so I am excited to see how things develop over the years…."

Often times in the summer I find myself needing a recharge creatively. It's hot outside, business is usually slower, and a cold beverage by the pool seems to be the only thing on my mind. So I have to look for a way to shake things up. This year, I decided to spend a week in one of my favorite places with two very good friends. So I jumped on a plane and headed for the Big Apple. A week immersed in the energy that is New York was going to be just what the doctor ordered. Now if you know me at all, you know that I cannot travel without finding a way to include photography on the trip. I had some ideas of what I wanted to shoot this time so I called New York actor Craig Maravich. I had the pleasure of working with Craig a few months ago on the promotional photography for The Arkansas Repertory Theater's production of Arthur Miller's "Death of a Salesman." Thankfully, Craig was just as excited about working with me again as I was with him. So we set it up. After a few days with my friends, wandering the city with nothing but a Fujifilm X-Pro 1 in my hands, I was becoming very inspired about what I wanted to do with Craig's shoot. I really wanted to showcase his unique ability to create characters on the spot, but to do so while capturing him in his city. I was hoping that using the X-Pro 1 would allow me the freedom to do this without causing the normal ruckus that comes with showing up in public spaces with a large DSLR (a Nikon D800 in my case). Thursday came and I met Craig at my friend and mentor Peter Hurley's studio in Chelsea. The only wardrobe instructions I had given Craig were to show up with a few changes that would represent how he would spend a day in the city. He arrived dressed very casually cool, a look that I liked. We began with some warmup shooting using with the X-Pro 1 and some nice window light. After a few moments I asked to see what other wardrobe choices Craig had brought. It was then that he revealed a custom made Hugo Boss suit. Instant inspiration…..

A week ago at this time, I was on a train heading to New York. I was going on business and unfortunately, I was only staying for two days. Despite being off Sunday through Tuesday, I had to rush back for a Saturday shift that none of my colleagues were willing or able to pick up. I would have loved to stay in NYC for a few more days. Although I've been recently trying my hand at street photography, I wouldn't call myself a street photographer. I prefer landscapes and other subjects. Perhaps a big part of that is the city that I've done most of my urban photography in – Washington, DC. Anyone who knows me well will tell you that after 20+ years, I've had enough of this place. I'm long overdue for a change and hope to end up in a 'new' and colorful city very soon. The next chapter of my life likely won't be played out in New York City. But being on the streets there with my Fuji X-Pro1 – even if only for a few rushed hours – was a real pleasure. I could see myself indulging in street photography everyday if I lived there. A marvelous stage with a plethora of various characters. I must go back soon…..

Report from the Zeiss Touit Lens Launch in NYC | Zlatko Batistich
On Tuesday, May 14, 2013, Zeiss held a press event at the Standard Hotel in New York City to launch it's new line of Touit lenses for compact system cameras (CSC). The event was well-attended by writers from various media.
There was a video presentation on a big screen, followed by a talk by Richard Schleuning, Zeiss's National Sales Manager in Zeiss's Camera Lens Division. Everyone was then invited to try out the new lenses. A model was provided for the event, and attendees could walk and photograph along the High Line, an elevated linear park created from a former railroad line which runs along the lower west side of Manhattan. The High Line runs right under the Standard Hotel. Zeiss Touit lenses are a new line of autofocus lenses for Fuji X and Sony NEX cameras. Two lenses were available at the launch: the 12mm f/2.8 and the 32mm f/1.8. Both lenses should be in stores in early June of this year. A third lens, a 50mm f/2.8 macro, is expected in the late Fall of this year. Zeiss expects to add more lenses to the Touit family in the next few years. The Touit name comes from a genus of small neotropical parrots. The name is intended to evoke compactness and agility. The lenses also bear the names of classic Zeiss designs: Distagon for the 12mm wide angle, and Planar for the 32m standard lenses.
Some key facts about the new lenses:
- They are compact and lightweight, in keeping with the size and weight of cameras they're made for.
- They have a metal exterior with rubber grips for the focus and aperture rings. Interior mechanical parts are metal and plastic; Zeiss didn't want the lenses to be too heavy.
- The lenses have the Zeiss T-star anti-reflective coating, along with advanced stray light reduction.
- They have an almost circular 9-bladed aperture for rounded out-of-focus highlights.
- Color characteristics will be similar throughout the Touit lens family.
- The manual focus ring is electronically coupled (there is no hard stop or distance scale).
- The aperture ring has clicks at 1/3 stops. (Touit lenses for the Fuji mount have aperture rings, unlike Touit lenses for the Sony mount.)
- The lenses are sold with a 2-year warranty. An extra year is added if the buyer registers on the Zeiss web site, thus extending the warranty to a total of 3 years.
- The next version of Lightroom and Adobe Camera Raw will have profiles for Touit lenses.
- The Touit 12mm is an aspherical design with floating elements. It is currently the widest lens for the Fuji X mount.
- The optimal aperture on the 32mm lens is f/4. The optimal aperture on the 12mm lens is f/5.6. MTF charts are available (or will be soon).
- Zeiss chose the autofocus motor for robustness and reliability, not for ultimate quietness.
- A lens hood is included with each lens.
- Touit lenses are not weather-sealed, and are not planned for Micro Four Thirds cameras.
Zeiss emphasizes the lenses' high image quality, durability and precision, along with full compatibility with Fuji X and Sony NEX cameras, including reliable autofocus. Zeiss also emphasizes the modern, minimalistic design. The talk included some discussion of the target market for Touit lenses. Zeiss sees the CSC market as growing, while DSLR sales are expected to slightly decline. Zeiss is targeting Touit lenses at the higher end of the CSC market.
Potential buyers include:
- People who already own Zeiss products, including DSLR lenses, rangefinder lenses, binoculars and spotting scopes.
- People who own DSLRs and seek smaller companion cameras, or want to replace their DSLR system with a lighter, less costly system.
- People who own point & shoot cameras and are upgrading to a CSC.
- Rangefinder users who don't want to spend $8,000 or more for a Leica digital M plus lens(es).
- Anyone with a Fuji X or Sony NEX camera.
- People who travel.
Here are my impressions after a few hours of use (of course, extended use is needed for more definitive impressions):
- The lenses have a nice looks and feel. They definitely give the impression of quality. Their size and weight is well-matched to the Fuji X series (I tried them on the X-Pro1).
- The smooth exterior gives them an elegant look. This is partly due to the rubber focus and aperture rings being flush with the body of each lens. However, I would have preferred a slightly raised texture as I think it would have been easier to grip.
- The X-Pro1 automatically turned on the appropriate frame lines for each lens. The view through the 12mm lens is too wide for the optical finder, so it is best to use it with the X-Pro1's electronic viewfinder. The 32mm lens without its hood doesn't block any part of the 32mm frame lines, except when focusing very close, and then only a tiny bit of the corner. With the hood, a significant part of the frame is blocked (perhaps 1/8th), but it is still very usable.
- Autofocus speed seems to be inline with what we expect from the autofocus system of the X-Pro1; i.e., good but not as fast as that of a DSLR. Autofocus accuracy seems to be excellent.
- Flare resistance seems to be excellent. Even with the sun in the frame, there is less flare than I've ever seen in similar situations.
- My impression is that the quality of the bokeh of the 32mm lens is OK at f/1.8 but improves to very nice at f/2.8 and f/4. Of course, this depends on the specific background and distance.
- Chromatic aberration was hard to find with either lens. I only took a few shots in which I expected to see it, but it wasn't there or was trivial.
- For such a wide angle lens, the 12mm has remarkably little vignetting at f/2.8.
- The lens hoods snap into place. With the 12mm, be especially sure to turn the lens hood until it snaps into place; otherwise, one of the hood's petals will likely be in the corner of each photo.

I love my neighborhood, Crown Heights Brooklyn. At night, lit only by the street lights, there are typically people out, and traffic at all hours. During the wee hour of the morning on Sunday, this was not the case, as we were in the midst of a snow storm. Certainly not the biggest we've had, which allowed me to go out and photograph. I was only out for a couple of hours and didn't go too far, but this is what I saw.
Last week in Omotesando Hills, near Harajuku Station in Tokyo, I saw an exhibition of photographs produced by some quite famous photographers ("heavyweights") using Fujifilm X-Series cameras.
And the photographers certainly are heavyweights – namely, William Eggleston, Martin Parr, Nan Goldin, Stephen Shore, Ryan McGinley and Terry Richardson.
The exhibition itself, produced by Fujifilm (& some co-sponsors), was called "⎡Photography⎦ Fine Art Photographer x Fujifilm X Series." It will open in New York at the Aperture Gallery (opening reception tomorrow evening), where it is simply called Photography. I must admit that I felt somewhat ambivalent about the whole affair as I was travelling into Tokyo. Upon learning of the show, my first thought was "cool!" Later however, I began to feel sceptical. Clearly, there was a marketing element to this whole production, and I started to wonder just how much I would be seeing of "art" and how much would be "images as advertising?"
I could envisage several possibilities. Foremost in my mind was the possibility that it might simply be a cold and cynical ploy from a marketing department.
Happily however, that was not the case. Clearly, all involved are benefiting from this. The photographers (presumably) get access to free equipment (and possibly more), and both sides of the party get exposure. But the whole deal had more of a mutual "this is exciting" feel to it, rather than cold calculation.
I was quite taken by some of the photographs, and the whole day's adventure was well worth the effort. So much so, that I want to talk more about the photographs themselves in a separate post soon. Here's some overview shots of the show (click on them to see larger).

This past Saturday evening I had the opportunity to kill a couple of hours in Chinatown and North Beach while waiting for my Apple Store appointment time to roll around. I decided that it'd be a good time to see what my present street photography setup was capable of in low light. The results were mainly satisfactory with a couple of hiccups, as is to be expected when shooting moving, uncooperative subjects in low light. I have read and agree with many others' findings about the X Pro 1 and its prime lenses for street photography – that the 35mm is too slow and its autofocus too inaccurate to be counted on when speed is crucial, particularly at night. Also, 35mm (52mm full frame equivalent) is too long for how I like to shoot, while 18mm is too wide. I find that the 24mm lens, zone focusing, a generous depth of field and the X Pro 1′s OVF allow me to get many shots I might otherwise miss while the 35mm/1.4 dilly-dallies around trying to focus. I love that lens and the images it makes, I just don't love that its autofocus is slow enough in bright light to be noticeable and didn't want to stake the evening's results on that lens. Another gripe is that the refresh rate of the EVF on the X Pro 1 gets awfully choppy and grainy the lower the light levels get. In some of the brightly lit shots, it's a non-issue. In the case of the man on his phone in front of the shadowy sidewalk, it was tough to get the image in focus. In fairness, that shot is more about the shapes and shadows than it is a portrait, anyway, but I'm a pretty harsh critic of what I create. So, what's the verdict? Well, heck – I love this camera and lens combo at night, too. Sure, I missed critical focus many times. Sure, people moving around makes for great backgrounds with extra grainy/blurry people. At 1/125, though, I think the results are good enough to share. Post processing is done in LR4.2. Although I'm a fan of black and white, for this exercise I eschewed black and white as I like several of these in color and feel that the colors contribute significantly to several of the images.
All from X Pro 1, Canon FD 24mm/2.8 SSC at f4.0 or f5.6, 1/60 or 1/125, ISO3200 or 6400.

MacGyver character | |
First appearance | "Partners" (season 2) |

Created by | Lee David Zlotoff |
Portrayed by | Michael Des Barres |

Occupation | Assassin |
Family | Ashton (sister) |
Murdoc is a fictional character in the ABC television series MacGyver, played by Michael Des Barres. Murdoc is an assassin working for the Homicide International Trust, an international group of assassins. He appears in a total of nine episodes, being the most frequent antagonist of the series and one of the very few to actually make recurring appearances.
Angus MacGyver's most frequent opponent, a member of Homicide International Trust (HIT) and master assassin who never fails – except when MacGyver gets involved. Murdoc is an accomplished pianist, a master of disguise, as well as creative and highly skilled in the use of booby traps. He is also very fond of heavy weapons, including flamethrowers, bazookas, and dynamite. Murdoc's signature for each hit is to take photographs of his victim at the moment of their death. MacGyver first encountered Murdoc in 1980: Murdoc was being followed by Peter Thornton, and MacGyver comes to Pete's aid. Their interaction convinces Pete to hire MacGyver to work with him at the DXS. At the end of this encounter, Murdoc had apparently been killed.
Murdoc's first appearance in the television series is seven years later; he has resurfaced to take revenge on MacGyver for foiling his plans during their first encounter. Murdoc's revenge scheme not only fails, but once again results in his apparent death. This became a recurring theme with the character: resurfacing after an apparent death, only to fail and appear to die again. This "near death" cycle occurred a total of 6 times throughout the series. He has survived, among other things, falling down an abandoned mine shaft, driving off a cliff in a car that exploded upon impact, being electrocuted and falling into the pool of flaming water, and falling thousands of feet off the sheer face of a mountain. His body was never found.
Murdoc always screams "MACGYVER!" at the moment of his "death", except in episode "Halloween Knights", where he and MacGyver act as allies: Murdoc has retired and HIT has put out a "hit" on him and kidnapped his sister. To rescue her, Murdoc is forced to seek MacGyver's help. In this episode, it is revealed that Murdoc, like Indiana Jones, is terrified of snakes.
He has over-the-top disguises and weapons complemented by a maniacal-smile persona that offer a touch of comic relief to the series. He gets childlike joy from taunting his victims before he kills them using elaborate traps (which MacGyver can just manage to escape).

"This is something which unites the community instead of something that causes splits, and it's a very positive thing," says Tommy Emerson, chairman of the Chatham County Board of Commissioners and a member of Jordan-Matthews's first graduating class in 1957. "We've struggled with this demographic shift, but there's been a big effort to meet the challenges, and this shows we're doing some things right."
The Jets are a major success in the short, strange history of Hispanic immigration to the South, which began in the early 1990s. Ten years ago, Siler City was a town of blacks and whites. Then came the Hispanic men, arriving in a trickle, then a torrent, to North Carolina's pine-covered plains. They were headed to Siler City, the center of North Carolina's poultry kingdom. In 1996, the families started coming to join husbands and fathers, catching off guard not just schools, but communities and small towns that hadn't expected a rush of new faces with an entire culture in tow.
All along, there have been tensions, compounded by the poverty and uncertain futures of small farm towns that are losing income from tobacco farms and manufacturing plants in recent years.
The conundrums were significant enough to make Siler City a case study for last year's PBS documentary, "Matters of Race," about racial tensions between whites and Hispanics in the the region. Three years earlier, Siler City made news when white supremacist David Duke paid a visit.
During team travel, the Jets have seen those tensions first-hand and gotten used to slurs from the opposition's parents - from threats to call immigration authorities to the simple but hurtful "Stupid Mexicans."
"The thing I would always say is: Just take it out on the field, let's just beat them as badly as we can," says Cuadros. "Our motto has been strength and honor, forca y honor: Strength wins you games, but honor makes you winners."

Tumor necrosis factor receptor (TNFR)-associated factor 6 (TRAF6) is an adapter protein that links signals from members of the TNFR superfamily and Toll/IL-1 receptor family to activation of transcription factors NFkappaB and AP-1. Analysis of TRAF6-deficient mice revealed that TRAF6 is essential for normal bone formation and establishment of immune and inflammatory systems. Here we report that TRAF6 deficiency results in defective development of epidermal appendixes, including guard hair follicles, sweat glands, sebaceous glands of back skin, and modified sebaceous glands such as meibomian glands, anal glands, and preputial glands. Except the sebaceous gland impairment, these abnormal phenotypes are identical to those observed in Tabby (Ta), downless (dl), and crinkled (cr) mice, which are models of hypohidrotic (anhidrotic) ectodermal dysplasia in human. beta-catenin and mucosal addressin cell adhesion molecule-1, an early marker of developing guard-hair follicles is absent in the skin of TRAF6-deficient embryos. Thus, TRAF6 is essential for development of epidermal appendixes. TRAF6 does not associate with the cytoplasmic tail of the dl protein (DL)/ectodysplasin receptor (EDAR) receptor, which, when mutated, results in hypohidrotic (anhidrotic) ectodermal dysplasia. However, TRAF6 associates with X-linked ectodysplasin-A2 receptor (XEDAR) and TNFR super family expressed on the mouse embryo (TROY/toxicity and JNK inducer (TAJ), which are EDAR-related members of the TNFR superfamily that are expressed at high level in epidermal appendixes. Furthermore, TRAF6 is essential for the XEDAR-mediated NFkappaB activation. Our results suggest that TRAF6 may transduce signals emanating from XEDAR or TROY/TAJ that are associated with development of epidermal appendixes.

See Bird By Snow's Shamanistic 'Peering Out' Video
Fans of second-wave K Records folkists like Microphones, Karl Blau, and Little Wings will not be disappointed by the quietly growing output of Bird by Snow, a.k.a. Big Sur resident Fletcher Tucker. The natural beauty of the California coastline has much in common with the further reaches of the Pacific Northwest, which may be what gives Tucker's ruminative work its particular uplift. It's certainly a factor seized upon in the video for "Peering Out," a percussively blessed study in shamanistic songcraft that hails from the latest Bird by Snow album, Offering. The clip is actually split into six frames, with Tucker tending to his campfire in the bottom middle. Around him, each of the five remaining portions is filled with a distinct habitat of Big Sur. Within each of those, choreographer Em Gift invents a dance for each element of the song.
Hear Bruno Mars (Unofficially) Imitate Michael Jackson in 'Moonshine'
Bruno Mars delivered a pretty in-the-glove impression of Michael Jackson last month when he hosted Saturday Night Live. He also caricatured Green Day's embattled frontman Billie Joe Armstrong, but that won't help inform your opinion of his newly surfaced Unorthodox Jukebox track, "Moonshine," in which Mars channels the King of Pop with a markedly more reverent aplomb. Super-producer Mark Ronson returns for this one after helping the Honolulu-raised crooner channel Sting (perhaps unintentionally) on single "Locked Out of Heaven," here providing a slightly '80s-informed backing track colored by flanged guitar notes and moody chord progressions. While we were slightly disappointed to learn that the song was not, in fact, an ode to bootleg liquor, Mars' lyrics intoxicate in their own way, longing for the high water mark of a relationship that now seems impossible to reach.
Ulrich Schnauss Has 'A Long Way to Fall' in New Video and Album
German googaze producer and unintential Chinese Democracy contributor Ulrich Schnauss is set to release his first solo album since 2007's Goodbye. A Long Way to Fall is due February 12 via Domino and, according to a statement from the artist, marks a full return to synthlandia after a momentary detour into guitartown via a pair of collabs with the gentle Englishmen of Engineers. Our first taste comes with the titular song, a quiet storm revision that stretches gauzy keyboard textures over rounded bass bumps. The corresponding video, directed by Russian-born visual artist Nat Urazmetova, a.k.a. Hidden Shine, captures various trees and lights in a seemingly mist-addled pre-dawn beach scene. There is indeed lots of synthesizer, plus little blurts and blips of more traditional IDM, which seems in line with Schnauss' announcement.
Mikky Ekko and Clams Casino Get Goopy in 'Pull Me Down' Video
"Pull Me Down" is a strange but enticing proposition: recent RCA signee Mikky Ekko plying radio-ready blue-eyed soul over the woozy, bass-addled sonics of producer Clams Casino. Perhaps this Nashvillian's pretty mug is the face of PBR&B 3.0? Or would that image belong to the far weirder profile of Alt-J? Whatever's going on here, James Blake better get on board before the train he was once set to conduct leaves the station. In terms of exposure, Ekko has got a real jump on the competition — he duets with Rihanna on the elegiac Unapologetic track "Stay," playing the piano-plinking Chris Martin to her, well, Rihanna circa Mylo Xyloto. But the guy's approach isn't 100 percent pop. There's a lot of darkly mottled goop in the mix, made literal in the video for "Pull Me Down," and a taste for chilly electronics that may make him a cousin to Sufjan Stevens collaborator Son Lux.

Former Wolf Parade member Spencer Krug has busied himself with all manner of fringe-leaning projects in the past few years, but none has held our ears so captive as his latest Moonface LP, the SPIN Essential'd With Siinai: Heartbreaking Bravery. David Bevan described the breakup album as "a headlong, electric leap into a pit of despair so black and bottomless as to be indefinable, like the ocean floor."The new video for eight-minute dirge "Headed for the Door" doesn't do much to brighten up that description. Of course, we don't mind. The Marsha Balaeva-directed clip combines gorgeously stark black-and-white photography of a seaside town with clutch animated bits, making for a magic-infused time-lapse piece celebrating the illuminating qualities of lighthouses and literature.
Interpol Share Angular 'Roland' Demo From 'Bright Lights' 10th Anniversary Set
In SPIN's recent interview with Interpol on the occasion of the 10th anniversary of their vaunted debut, Turn On the Bright Lights, guitarist Daniel Kessler told us, "People don't necessarily realize that the first album was the culmination of five years of work. We'd been playing around New York for a long time without getting anywhere. When we signed with Matador, we would've been thrilled with selling 10,000 copies. We just wanted someone to pay attention."A full decade later and we're anticipating the classy commemorative reissue of that album — complete with a bonus disc of B-sides and demos, and a DVD of early aughts performances — due December 4, via Matador of course.
Thurston Moore Headlines Kurt Cobain Exhibition in Miami
Courtney Love has shot down rumors of a full-fledged Nirvana musical as well as Crossfire Hurricane director Brett Morgan's Kurt Cobain documentary. On December 6, however, Miami's Gusman Center will play host to smaller, artier versions of both, along with a headlining set by Thurston Moore, via KURT, "a multi discipline exhibition and study of the late Kurt Cobain."Act one will comprise a short film also called KURT (doubly fitting), "an abstract portrayal of the personality and many masks of the myth," directed by contemporary artist Adarsha Benjamin, who has also worked on some weird James Franco shit not to be confused with his band Daddy or recent foray into music videos via R.E.M.
Bieber Love and Old Blood: Behind the Scenes at 2012's American Music Awards
Brandy plays World of Warcraft and Justin Bieber is kind of amazing. Oh, and EDM "is the hottest new thing in music," if you didn't know. Devote your pre-Thanksgiving Sunday to the 40th Anniversary American Music Awards, and this is the sort of knowledge you will gain. SPIN went to the mountain, and when we asked Cyndi Lauper what her hopes were for music in 2013, she toddled forward and dipped backward like some sort of New Wave shaman before answering thusly: "Music." Clearly, not all revelations are created equal.It should be noted that while we visited with Mrs. Lauper on the red carpet outside of Los Angeles' Nokia Theatre, the aforementioned mount was actually the top of the facility's West Garage — yes, an open-air parking barracks covered with a massive canopy, fitted with a complex matrix of curtains-as-walls, and converted into the bustling home of the AMAs press corps.
Cannibal Ox Promise Follow-up to Indie-Rap Classic Album 'The Cold Vein'
On Tuesday, we learned that early aughts indie-rap icons Cannibal Ox are reuniting for a rare show in New York at the Knitting Factory Brooklyn on December 9. We'd expressed hope for one of those nifty full-album tours where long-lost groups perform the record that everyone loves them for and skip on all the wack shit, but it now seems we'll get something even better (or maybe some real wack shit): a brand new CanOx album.That original beloved full-length, of course, would be 2001's The Cold Vein, which features some really great metaphors about a "metallic winged pigeon." Fittingly, this new news comes courtesy of rap-oriented blog Pigeons and Planes, who spoke with in-group philosopher, Vast Aire. "We never broke up," he said, "but the timing is now right for a new Cannibal Ox LP.
Kanye West Cuts Rihanna's 'Diamonds' Remix with 'Fresh Prince' Theme
As it turns out, "Diamonds" is a girl's best friend. Rihanna's latest single, which she recently performed on Saturday Night Live, has sparked a seapunk uprising, inspired a Zola Jesus cover, and helped to fuel her airborne 777 Tour. Not bad for a little old "happy and hippie" song, but why not add one more accomplishment to the list?

May global temperature hits all-time high
Published on Jun 23, 2014 11:55 PM
WASHINGTON (AFP) - Last month was so hot it set a new record for the planet, marking the warmest May over land and water since record-keeping began in 1880, US authorities said Monday.
The combined average temperature across the globe was 59.93°F (15.54°C), or 1.33°F (0.74°C) above the 20th century average, said the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. The previous record for May was set in 2010.
"The majority of the world experienced warmer-than-average monthly temperatures, with record warmth across eastern Kazakhstan, parts of Indonesia, and central and northwestern Australia," NOAA said.
The findings are part of an ongoing trend of rising global warmth.

This comes up about once a year.
If you have scurvy, vitamin C will cure you. This incontrovertibly shows that vitamins have an effect on the body.
A multivitamin isn't a panacea. It's just insurance in case you're deficient in any given vitamin.
If you're a lazy slob eating junk food, a multivitamin isn't going to protect against that lifestyle. If they're going to do a worthwhile study, they need to include the overall beginning health of the individuals at the beginning of the study. They also need to cover the quality of life for them.
They're not that expensive and I would much rather piss out $.12 of nutrients that my body didn't need than not have enough. Cheap insurance if you ask me.
I've always wondered how useful they are. ESpecially the ones most bbers use, which aren't a high quality at all. I doubt ON multi is super high quality. I know it just makes my piss vibrant yellow
I notice a boost from the vitamin b but not as good as when I get the injection from my doc....
Coarse edged youth, the irish pendants string from their smiles
not yet plucked as to slacken the seams
and drag down the features of age,
no folds or creases from unkempt wear
eyes of tranquilty, crystalline-beads
no sign of despair in their hair, nor their hearts
but oh they have yet to be experienced and that makes aging so very worth it...ML circa2012
A lot of the studies are constructed to account for the differences in lifestyle. Specifically, smoking, obesity and exercise habits. Even after accounting for these, they find no difference in health between those that take them and those that do not. But, they also find no harm in taking them either, except for a few in megadoses. Vitamin A is an example.
I heard an explanation once about why they don't do anything and I thought it was a good analogy. "eating whole, nutritious foods gives the body an orchestra of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, phytochemicals and probably substances that we haven't discovered yet, but isolating individual nutrients and putting them into pill form at 1000% the amount we would get in foods doesn't even come close to the benefits of eating whole foods, and doesn't perform as a replacement." paraphrased.
I think the last part of the article sums things up nicely.
Spokeswoman Dr Carrie Ruxton said: 'The role of vitamin supplements is to prevent deficiencies and make sure people are receiving their recommended levels.
'They won't have a measurable impact on how you feel on a day-to-day basis but what they are doing is topping up your recommended levels to the right amount. They are not meant to be a magic bullet.'

I'll keep taking them until they say that they will hurt me. If it does "nothing" that isn't so bad. If it does "very little" then I am still better off than I would have been before.
So wait, multi-vitamins don't help with cancer or heart disease? 2 diseases that are more tightly linked to sugar/carbohydrate overconsumption than vitamin deficiency. Surely you jest. Besides, 6 years would probably not be long enough to even detect an effect, especially if the subjects weren't entirely compliant. Dr. Walter Willett did a study on I believe beta carotene in aging adults and found no statistically significant difference in cognitive factors after 12 years. After 18 years, the results were both significant and dramatic.
There was a really cool documentary by Nova the other day called What Darwin Never Knew. It explains the mechanisms through which evolution work. Basically there is coding DNA, switches, and hox genes that basically boss the other DNA around. What is really cool is that 2 fitches with identical DNA actually have completely different beaks. These 2 fitches were born to different islands on the Galpagos with different foods that were available. The difference in beaks is not due to different genes, but the expression of those genes (Time and frequency) in the fetus. Obviously diet has a dramatic effect on what genes are expressed when and it seems as though each fitch is basically downloading information from the environment via the nutrients it's mother is consuming. Our problem health-wise is that we find out that people who eat broccoli have lower incidences of cancer so we try to isolate the compound that does this and put it in to a supplement. The problem is, this only activates some of the genes that eating broccoli activates, so you don't get the results you are looking for. They have shown fish oil to cause the expression of up to 960 genes that are responsible for detoxification, reduced inflammation, and other healthful outcomes. Eat whole foods and take a multi-vitamin to cover your ass. Other than that, it's probably better to take fish oil capsules instead of fish as the potential for mercury contamination in fish is too high.
If sense were common, everyone would have it.

Check out my world famous Bob Loblaw's Law Blog at http://www.synergyhw.blogspot.com/...Just kidding, it's a health and wellness blog.
This stuff is all so complex that it's probably going to be a long time before we have solid conclusions. Virtually every nutrition study you'll read will end by stating that more studies are needed.
It has been shown that vitaman and mineral supplimentation can help prevent deseases of defeciency. They're unlikely to make healthy people healthier, but if an essential nutrient is lacking, they could help prevent some unfortunate condition.
Good post. But, I think the recommendation is that in eating fatty fish like salmon, the benefits outweigh the risks of mercury. There are some fish to completely stay away from, but wild salmon is still a good choice, especially when replacing foods like hamburger or bacon.
Gene expression is incredibly important. Here's a good example. There are a group of Indians in the US called Pima Indians, and they have the highest percentage of type 2 diabetes for any race in the US. They obviously have a genetic predisposition for this. But, in all of their relatives who do not live in the US, diabetes is unheard of. Their genes are incredibly similar, but those genes responsible for diabetes are only expressed when theyre living the American lifestyle.

The President's American Jobs Act: Fueling Innovation and Entrepreneurship
President Obama just unveiled the American Jobs Act, an ambitious plan to create jobs across the country and put more money in the pockets of American workers and businesses – all without adding a dime to the deficit.
The President's jobs plan, specifically crafted to garner quick bipartisan support, also promises to dramatically accelerate the pace of American innovation and the success of U.S. entrepreneurs, who have historically been responsible for virtually all new job growth across the country. Here are five highlights:
Boosting access to capital for high-growth companies: America's most innovative companies need equity capital to grow and hire faster. As part of the President's Startup America initiative, the Administration will work to unlock this capital through smart regulatory changes that are consistent with investor protection. This means reducing the disproportionately high costs that smaller companies face when going public, as well as raising the cap on "mini" public offerings (Regulation A) from $5 million to $50 million. It also means responsibly allowing startups to raise money through "crowdfunding" – gathering many small-dollar investments that add up to as much as $1 million. Right now, entrepreneurs like these bakers and these gadget-makers are already using crowdfunding platforms to raise hundreds of thousands of dollars in pure donations – imagine the possibilities if these small-dollar donors became investors with a stake in the venture. Steve Case, chairman of the Startup America Partnership, noted after he joined the First Lady as a guest at the President's speech, that "High-growth entrepreneurial businesses have been responsible for nearly all of the net jobs created in the last three decades – so policies that make it easier for entrepreneurs to start and expand companies must be at the epicenter of any jobs effort. While Republicans and Democrats don't seem to agree on much these days, they do agree that entrepreneurs hold the key to a bright economic future. Therefore, I hope both parties will put politics and partisanship aside, and work together to ensure the success of the next generation of great American companies."
Turning job-seekers into job-creators: Through innovative use of Federal unemployment insurance funds, all 50 states will have the flexibility to support long-term unemployed workers who create their own jobs by starting their own companies. A few states already have these self-employment assistance (SEA) programs, many of which have been remarkably successful. For example, SEA allowed two unemployed software developers to co-found a new mobile advertising company in 2009 – and today that company has raised $6.5 million in venture capital, employs 28 workers, and plans to hire many more.
Unleashing innovation in wireless high-speed Internet: Bipartisan, job-creating legislation will speed deployment of high-speed wireless Internet service to at least 98% of Americans, including those in remote rural communities like the students using online learning tools who met the President on his trip to Marquette, Michigan. By freeing up spectrum through private-sector incentive auctions, this plan will also reduce the deficit while creating a nationwide, interoperable wireless network for public safety, as recommended by the 9/11 Commission.
Modernizing more than 35,000 schools: Investing $25 billion in K-12 school infrastructure will put thousands of construction workers back on the job—with new science labs and Internet-ready classrooms a priority, in keeping with the President's Educate to Innovate campaign to make American students the world's best in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM).
Making government services transparent to job creators: The President has directed both his CIO and CTO to launch BusinessUSA within 90 days. This one-stop online platform will provide access to information about the full range of government programs and services businesses need to compete globally – and it will represent the next major accomplishment of the Open Government Initiative.
The President's jobs plan includes plenty of other important initiatives to fuel innovation and entrepreneurship, including $1 billion to support NextGen air traffic modernization, a new National Infrastructure Bank, and skills-based training for low-income youth and adults to help them enter the innovation economy. It will put Americans back to work in the near term, while further strengthening our long-term foundation for growth. We believe Congress should come together in response to the President's call to action, and "Pass this bill right away."

He goes and Im like: The new Quotatives re-visited
The new quotatives, like and go, have assumed quite a number of functions outside the quotative frame. So far, all models proposed to explain their polyfunctionality rely on the postulate of unidirectionality in grammaticalization. Based on the findings of Lakoff (1987), this article proposes an alternative model for like and shows the importance of a radial functional network for the interpretation of like and go's synchronic uses.
