The only way this threat can work is if Obama wants it to work. The Obama team is currently trying again to revive the grand bargain. This debt ceiling hostage-taking may only "work" if Obama wants to use it as an excuse to say he was "forced" to cut a deal (he wanted anyway). It was because Obama was hoping an artificial deadline would force all sides to accept a grand bargain back in 2011 that this whole debt ceiling hostage idea was allowed to get out of control in the first place.
Boehner Again Threatens to Take the Debt Ceiling Hostage

Hostage Taking Is an All or Nothing Game
|By: Jon Walker Thursday May 9, 2013 8:06 am
House Republicans have a problem. They have trapped themselves in a no man's land of political hostage taking.
In Coming Debt Ceiling Fight It May Be Hard to Believe Obama Has a Backbone
|By: Jon Walker Friday December 14, 2012 3:42 pm
President Obama's top pick for Secretary of State was Susan Rice. Many Republicans have been throwing a hissy fit about what she said on a Sunday talk show and now Rice has withdrawn her name from consideration. It is possible these two things are unrelated, but it definitely appears to many that Obama again folded to Republicans, even though this is a fight Democrats could have won.
This seems to feed an image about Obama that he is unwilling to really go to the mat in a fight.
Why You Don't Negotiate for Hostages
|By: Jon Walker Wednesday May 16, 2012 12:00 pm
Once again House Speaker John Boehner is threatening to hold the debt limit hostage in exchange for another round of one dollar of spending cuts for one dollar of debt increase. From a policy perspective I consider Boehner's ask an idiotic demand that will do real damage to the economy, but given how the last effort was rewarded, this is the right move for Boehner as a negotiator.
Late Night FDL: Get This, Eric Cantor Appeals to Republicans To Stop Taking Hostages
|By: Bill Egnor Wednesday August 17, 2011 8:00 pm
So a member of the leadership in Washington is saying that Republicans should refrain from brinksmanship when it comes to the upcoming continuing resolution and the budget fight. That's not that interesting, what is interesting is who said that, Majority Leader Eric Cantor!
Believe it or not but the oft confused Republican from Virginia sent around a memo laying out the reasons why the House Republicans should not engage in the same kind of economic and policy hostage taking they have been successful with for most of a year.
Obama Wants There to be "Hostages"
|By: Jon Walker Friday July 8, 2011 9:15 am
The Republican's have been so successful in their hostage taking tactics not because the GOP are amazing negotiators but due to the fact Obama wants them to have a hostages. The Obama administration is told the Republicans they are negotiating with that they don't believe the 14th amendment grants it the authority to ignore the [...]
Sen. Kent Conrad Joins the Republican Hostage Takers
|By: Bill Egnor Wednesday June 22, 2011 11:30 am
What the Hell is Sen. Kent Conrad smoking? And why it is that he won't share (c'mon, Senator, don't bogart that doobie!)? In today's Washington Post Sen. Conrad enables the hostage taking of the Republican Party by saying that he does not think that the two trillion in budget cuts that the Administration is talking about is enough.
Hostage-Taking Officially Begins: GOP Senator Says He'll Filibuster Raising the Debt Ceiling
|By: Jon Walker Wednesday March 30, 2011 4:25 pm
By threatening to filibuster the bill, Lee is basically requiring it to get at least 60 votes in the Senate, giving other Senate Republicans leverage to make more "reasonable" hostage demands.
End Government by Crisis: No More Government Shutdowns or Debt Ceiling Votes, Ever
|By: Jon Walker Saturday March 5, 2011 10:00 am
Much of the political debate in Washington over the next year is going to be dominated by two potential pending crises: a government shutdown and a failure to raise the debt ceiling. If Congress fails to actively and regularly avert them, these crises could significantly disrupt our society, cost money and hamper the economy.
DADT's Lesson from the White House: Take Hostages

If you were a refueling boom operator, you might have had a view much like this as the SR-71 came in for a fill-up. (Maybe a little lower.) He'd drop out of the sky from 80,000 feet and suddenly appear, top off his tanks, and be gone again. Magic...
For more information, one good source is the Wikipedia article. There's also a page with links to many other Blackbird sites.
And a few of you may recognize the background image.
(Also try it on black.)
And to all of you who have fav'd this, I've seen the amazing shots in your favs and am honored to be there.
Bionic Rhonda, back slowly, and 453 other people added this photo to their favorites.
Wow!! I envy you...
An instant fave for me!!
looks great this way.. without the drone..!!
seeing as there are no new photos of this magnificent beauty in the air..... its great that your effort here helps us enjoy them more.... better than my boring museum photos..!!
well done..!!
at Duxford its hard to fit the whole plane in unless you use a fisheye.
i would have loved to have seen it fly..!!! count yourself very lucky..!!
Trig, LM, sinziene, merci. I've been around enough and poked my nose into enough spots to get the benefits (along with some very cold days in Dayton, Ohio). And hey, LM, this one started as a kinda boring museum photo too. I do give credit to the Museum of Flight for having the plane fully visible from the stairway. It's often difficult or impossible to show the whole plane. Another shot I won't be able to repeat is this one, because they've since moved the plane inside. That's good for the plane but bad for full-plane shots.
Dunno if you have seen this www.youtube.com/watch?v=SDbQ5xvsrIU I must admit on first view I thought it was this but kudos to you for the editing.
Cool Shot !!!
This image is "Crazy Good;" You didn't waste one minute processing it, You are excellent at P.S., this is how you should use it. Some over worked P.S. images are painful to look at. this is a treat for my eyes. One question I have, is the slight halo a result of over sharpening or a by-product of your plane layer slightly smaller than the background layer?
Many thanks, folks -- especially your great comments, caj.
That halo is a result of resizing (and possibly some sharpening) done by flickr. If you could see the version I uploaded (at 800 pixels wide) you wouldn't see that artifact. It hasn't really shown up before, but now I may be able to notice it (esp. on a few other shots with sharp foreground edges over a softer background).
And I guess I should've logged the time spent, just for posterity. I know I originally figured it wouldn't take more than a few hours...
I'll guarantee you nobody but a perfectionist would have noticed the halo, I only noticed it while using my wifes much better Vista powered laptop. By the way, I thought I was impressed with your car images, your aviation art, and I mean ART is awesome, I'll be coming back for more.
I thought an example of my humble attempt at aviation art would be appropriate ....caj
caj, that's really cool to hear -- I assume it's mostly decent craftsmanship on my part and a rare winner here and there.
(And hey, you found a reason to use Vista! ;-)
But that's a great illustration -- water color, acrylic, oil, ...? Or maybe digital?
It's good old fashion oil paint with Liquin medium to speed up the drying process. It hangs on my wall, I just processed it enough to reduce and compress the image for the Internet. Looking forward too seeing your latest work.....caj
Great photo shot!!!! I think the SR-71 Blackbird is one of the best planes ever built!!!! It was ahead of it's time!!!!!!!
Carl, you are no ordinary electrician are you ;/ Hard work really does pay off. This pic has the wow factor we all aspire to. You Da' Man.
This Is An ABSOLUTELY AMAZING IMAGE!!!
The SR-71 ..............Just stunning.
Very impressive sight and quite a nice post-processing.
When I was a kid I had a book with a SR 71 pic.
I spent hours dreaming in front of this. I was a pilot , I was spaceship pilot ..
Dudes/dudettes, many thanks for coming by and taking the time to comment. It's gratifying to see the hours of processing come back amplified by the kind words.
Plus... this just hit 400 favs ! Craziness. I only have one shot with more favs and it's a delicious athletic woman in tight pants, and she definitely did all the work. So having this one being a close second is really great. Mille grazie...
Just to add..
I was down on the Intrepid in NYC a long ,long time ago with my kids. This was on deck.
I walked up to feel it and was amazed how thin the front end of the bird was, as I ran my palm over the edge.. I could actually put my fingers and thumb around it and when I thought no one was looking ,did a couple of pull-ups.

Michelle Obama Wins Cookie Recipe Contest
By editor
Originally published on Wed October 3, 2012 9:14 am
Good morning. I'm Renee Montagne. Michelle Obama can celebrate a win today, now that her white and dark chocolate-chip cookies beat out Ann Romney's M&M cookies in Family Circle Magazine's Presidential Bake-Off. During the 2008 election, Cindy McCain's oatmeal butterscotch cookies won. Michelle Obama may be savoring her victory all the more, since on this, the couple's 20th anniversary, she's had to trade date night for debate night. It's MORNING EDITION.

Cobra Mens Baffler XL Fairways 1 1
Cobra Baffler XL Fairway 3W I had purchased several hybrids with this design, so decided to try the fairway wood. The price for what you get was outstanding. I think it's easier to hit off tight lies that some other fairway woods. If the 5W had been available I would have purchased it as well. It's a good club to use off the tee for shots that a driver is too much. The ball generally goes where you expect it to go with this club. If you're looking to get the ball up faster and higher, you'll have to tee it higher. February 3, 2015

Key or EZ start weed whacker. Does it exist?
faithabOctober 12, 2011
After nearly putting my shoulder out pulling on our weed whacker to get it started I am looking for a key start machine. Does such a thing exist? I tried a battery operated one (Craftsman 18V. 12" model) but it was not nearly powerful enough. It just sort of licked at the grass and after 5 min. wore down. Another thought was an electric. But I would have to have so much cord to cover 1.4 acres. Just can't continue to wreck my shoulder with a gas engine one, though.
Never used one but you can check it out here.

- IphonefixIdentity & Website design
- Here with a case study for an identity and website design that i did recently for an iPhone repair service company – Iphone fix. Whenever came to a logo for repairing service line, tools like screwdriver, hammer and other repairing tools will be the first idea for the logo design that related to the business. There are tons of repairing service logo with those tool's icon. So the mission of the logo design is to avoid those tool's icon logo in order to standout. My concept is pretty simple. Using "OK" hands gesture and combined iPhone shape in the negative space to deliver the message of – Your iPhone will be OK with our repairing service. After the logo approved by client, they requested to transform the logo into apps logo format.
For the web design, client requested word-press theme so that they can update the website. And i came out with a simple and clean design. What do you think of the identity? Comments and critics are mist welcome.

Thrissur: The three-day long centenary
celebrations of the Rashtriya Sanskrit Sansthan, formerly
Pavaratty Sahitya Deepika Sanskrit College, founded by late P
T Kuriakose Master in 1909, would begin here on February 21.
In a statement here, Sanskrit Sansthan protection
committee President Thomas Pavaratty said the union government
had granted Rs 3 lakh for the purpose.
Kuriakose Master had donated the College and the campus
together with buildings costing crores of rupees to the union
government to establish as a full-fledged Sanskrit learning
centre. The college was affiliated to the Rashtriya Sanskrit
Sansthan as its sixth centre in 1979.
Though the Sahitya Deepika Sanskrit College began on a
small scale, it was later affiliated to the Madras University.
Master had fostered the college facing opposition from all
corners including the Church as it was a taboo then for
non-Brahmins to learn Sanskrit and read Sanskrit literature.
Sanskrit scholars and writers who were former students
of the college would offer floral tributes at the tomb of the
Master at the Pavaratty St Joseph`s shrine on February 23, the
25th death anniversary of the Master, marking the conclusion
of the centenary celebration, the statement said.
The celebrations would be held at the campuses of the
Sansthan at Pavaratty and Puranattukara, now under the Union
Ministry of Human Resources Development.

At the end of the Lakers' win over the Clippers Wednesday night, Chris Paul and Pau Gasol got into a dispute, of sorts. Paul and Gasol exchanged some words, and then some more words, and then Gasol ... how can we put this? He ruffled Paul's head. You know, like you would the paper boy, if paper boys existed if papers still existed. Paul, to put it lightly, did not take it well. Here's the incident.
And after the game, Paul was not at all letting it slide. From the Los Angeles Times, which describes Paul as "incensed" after the game:
"I don't know if (Pau) has kids, but I'm not one of them."
This rivalry is going to be so much fun.

Did crocodile-hunter Steve Irwin fake his death and then take off on a secret life to join the paparazzi industry? If so, I'm pretty sure he's the one who snapped these photos of Candice Swanepoel prancing around in a gold bikini in Miami for her next Victoria Secret shoot. If not, then whoever did is hereby the Indiana Jones of T&A. I typically can't stand the pappos, always ruining everyone's good time, whether it be at a concert, romantic dinners, LAX, restrooms, movie theaters, etc., but I guess there's a spot in my heart that says bikini pics are always acceptable. Whatever the case, Candice looks amazing as usual and the way she shines in that gold bikini bottom makes her look like an award that should be given to every Nobel Peace Prize winner. Talk about motivation to change the world. I love her reaction when she makes eye-contact and suddenly realizes that bush over yonder is holding a camera. Crikey!

This was the first rose I planted myself and I could hardly wait for it to wake up this spring. Like so many others we had a terrible winter with temps well below zero but PG had almost no die back and is blooming 15' up my chimney and 6' up the side of our playroom in the picture above. I don't mind the size and the pruning since I've already got a mature wisteria planted 12" from my siding that we cut back hard once a month to keep under control. Anyway, in our humid climate PG gets no blackspot whatsoever and does not seem to attract pests. It is by far the healthiest rose among the 11 varieties we currently have (though more are soon to come.)
Thanks! I got mine a year ago from Antique Rose Emporium so they're pretty new. They were good sized plants when they arrived and put on a lot of new growth but did not repeat last year. The person I spoke to at ARE last spring called it a once bloomer but I've since heard of more established plants repeating so I'm hoping to see something in the fall. We'll see.
true-blue- Mine has no scent at all and I think that seems to be what most people say. I'd love to post a picture of the chimney but I only have a 50 mm lens so getting a picture from any distance is pretty tough. I'll see what I can do as more flowers come out.

ABSTRACT: Apoptosis plays a pivotal role in sustaining proper tissue development and homeostasis. Evading apoptosis by cancer cells is a part of their adaption to microenvironment and therapies. Cellular integrity is predominantly maintained by pro-survival members of Bcl-2 family and IAPs. Melanoma cells are characterized by a labile and stage-dependent phenotype. Pro-survival molecules can protect melanoma cells from apoptosis and mediate other processes, thus enhancing aggressive phenotype. The essential role of Bcl-2, Mcl-1, Bcl-X(L), livin, survivin and XIAP was implicated for melanoma, often in a tumor stage-dependent fashion. In this review, the current knowledge of pro-survival machinery in melanoma is discussed.Cancer letters 01/2013; · 5.02 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: The autoimmune process in rheumatoid arthritis depends on activation of immune cells, which utilize intracellular kinases to respond to external stimuli such as cytokines, immune complexes, and antigens. CD4+ T cells comprise a large proportion of the inflammatory cells that invade the synovial tissue and may therefore be a cell type of pathogenic importance. Both methotrexate and infliximab are effective in the treatment of inflammatory arthritis; however, the biological effects triggered by these treatments and the biochemical mechanisms underlining the cell response are still not fully understood. Thus, in this study the global metabolic changes associated with methotrexate or infliximab treatment of isolated human CD4+ T cells were examined using gas chromatography/mass spectrometry or liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry. In total 148 metabolites involved in selective pathways were found to be significantly altered. Overall, the changes observed are likely to reflect the effort of CD4+ cells to increase the production of cellular reducing power to offset the cellular stress exerted by treatment. Importantly, analysis of the global metabolic changes associated with MTX or infliximab treatment of isolated human CD4+ T cells suggested that the toxicity associated with these agents is minimal when used at clinically relevant concentrations.Cell cycle (Georgetown, Tex.) 08/2013; 12(18). · 5.24 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: Cellular Inhibitors of Apoptosis 1 and 2 (c-IAP1 and c-IAP2) are ubiquitin protein ligases (E3s) that constitutively ubiquitinate and induce proteasomal-mediated degradation of NF-κB Inducing Kinase (NIK) and repress non-canonical NF-κB activation. Mice expressing an E3-inactive c-IAP2 mutant (c-IAP2(H570A)) have constitutive activation of non-canonical NF-κB, resulting in B cell hyperplasia and T cell costimulation-independence. If, and if so to what extent, c-IAP1 and c-IAP2 are redundant in NF-κB regulation in these mice is not known. Here we have generated mice expressing a mutant c-IAP1 that lacks E3 activity (c-IAP1(H582A)). These mice were phenotypically normal and did not have constitutive NF-κB activation in B cells or MEFs. siRNA-mediated knockdown of c-IAP2 showed that accumulated c-IAP2, resulting from lack of c-IAP1-dependent degradation, compensated for absent c-IAP1 E3 activity. Surprisingly, c-IAP1(H582A) T cells had a lower p100/p52 ratio than wild type T cells, and in the absence of costimulation proliferated to a degree intermediate between wild type and c-IAP2(H570A) T cells. Therefore, although c-IAP1 and c-IAP2 both can repress constitutive NF-κB activation, the relative importance of each varies according to cell type.PLoS ONE 06/2013; 8(6):e66161. · 3.53 Impact Factor

Distinct roles for the cellular inhibitors of apoptosis
proteins 1 and 2
TE Graber1,2and M Holcik*,1
Cell Death and Disease (2011) 2, e135; doi:10.1038/cddis.2011.20; published online 24 March 2011
The cellular inhibitor of apoptosis proteins 1 and 2 (cIAP1 and
cIAP2) are members of a highly conserved and critically
important family of inhibitor of apoptosis proteins (IAPs) that
function to mitigate both intrinsic and extrinsic death signal-
ling. Their conserved mechanism of action in vitro relies on
competitive inhibition of caspase activity. In recent years,
however, ubiquitin ligase activity within cIAP1/2 has been
shown to have a central role in regulating NF-kB signalling
and programmed cell death through the ubiquitylation of key
components of TNF receptor complexes. Owing to the
importance of NF-kB signalling in a variety of pathologies,
cIAP1/2 have become desirable drug targets and there is thus
a strong rationale for studying how cIAP1/2 expression is
regulated in these contexts. Although these paralogous
proteins function in a redundant manner, their context-
dependent differential expression provide for non-redundant
roles. Here, we will focus on evaluating possible distinct
functions for cIAP1 in specific cellular settings where it acts as
the dominant player and review recent advances in our
understanding of how cIAP1 expression can be regulated at
the post-transcriptional level.
The Emerging Importance of cIAP1/2 in Modulating
NF-jB Signalling and Programmed Cell Death
cIAP1, cIAP2 and the X chromosome-linked IAP (XIAP) are
members of the family of inhibitor of apoptosis proteins (IAPs)
that were initially reported to function as competitive inhibitors
of caspases through their baculoviral IAP repeat (BIR)
domains.1Although all three proteins directly bind and inhibit
caspases, cIAP1/2 were found to only weakly exhibit this
activity in vivo.2Instead, cIAP1/2 have been found to
demonstrate functional redundancy by virtue of E3 ubiquitin
ligase activity within their RING domains that targets specific
substrates for proteasomal degradation (K48-polyubiquitin
linkages), or for participation in specific signalling pathways
(K63-polyubiquitin linkages).3
Defining the gamut of cIAP1/2 ubiquitin ligase substrates
has uncovered a critical role for IAP ubiquitin ligase activity in
modulating inflammatory signalling pathways. The cellular
response to the inflammatory cytokine TNF-a is the best
understood of these pathways and serves to signal cell
survival through activation of NF-kB transcription factors, or
cell death through apoptosis or programmed necrosis
(necroptosis). Upon binding of TNF-a to the TNF receptor I,
the adaptor proteins TRADD, TRAF2 and/or TRAF 5 are
recruited along with cIAP1 and/or cIAP2 and the RIP1 kinase
(Figure 1a). RIP1 serves as a substrate for cIAP1 or cIAP2-
mediated K63-polyubiquitylation that signals recruitment
of the TAK/TAB complex and subsequent activation of
NF-kB. The cIAP1/2-mediated polyubiquitylation of RIP1
in the TNF-a-stimulated cell also prevents internalisation of
complex I that would lead to the formation of complex II,
activation of caspase-8 and death by apoptosis. If caspase 8
activity is limiting, or if the activity of RIP1 or its binding
partner RIP3 is high, complex III forms and leads to
programmed necrosis (necroptosis) (Figure 1a). Thus,
the absence of cIAP1/2 renders cells sensitive to TNF-a-
induced death. Paradoxically, removal of either cIAP1 or
cIAP2 in unstimulated cells enhances constitutive NF-kB
signalling, as the result of NIK stabilisation and induction of
both the classical and alternative arms of the NF-kB
Specialised Roles for cIAP1?
As the activities of cIAP1 and cIAP2 appear to be redundant,
one may ask in which cellular contexts could these proteins
have distinct roles? Confounding this question is the
observation that some cell types exhibit a strong compensa-
tory mechanism, whereby reducing cIAP1 levels leads to an
increase in cIAP2 expression. This phenomenon was first
observed in spleen and thymus isolated from cIAP1 knockout
animals and is attributed to the ability of cIAP1 to target cIAP2
forubiquitin-mediated degradation.5Surprisingly, cIAP1isnot
a target for degradation by cIAP2, as cIAP2 knockout animals
show unchanged expression of cIAP1.6This compensatory
mechanism does not appear to be a universal event. For
example, reduction in the levels of cIAP1 by RNAi enhances
cIAP2expressioninbreast cancercells(MDAMB231),butnot

inembryonickidney cells(HEK293T).Further,the generallack
of correlation between levels of cIAP1 and cIAP2 across a
panel of cancer cell lines7implies that the oft-cited compensa-
rule. Here, we will highlight two recent studies that have
uncovered a starring role for cIAP1 inspecific cellular contexts.
Death by any other name. TNF-a signalling normally leads
to transcriptional activation of cIAP2 in a bid to subvert
apoptosis. However, Vanlangenakker et al. found that the L929
mouse fibrosarcoma cell line sustains programmed necrosis
(rather than apoptosis) following treatment with TNF-a
and unexpectedly expresses very low levels of cIAP2.8The
cIAP2 levels were also unaffected in TNF-a-activated cells
transfected with cIAP1 siRNA. This is in stark contrast to other
cell types where compensation by cIAP2 protein in a cIAP1-
null background has been demonstrated.5Reducing cIAP1
expression using the small-molecule cIAP1/2 antagonist BV6
or by cIAP1 RNAi renders these cells sensitive to TNF-a-
mediated necrosis.8The increased sensitivity was found to be
due to enhanced activity of RIP1 kinase in cIAP1-depleted
cells and thus an increase in the levels of the 'necrosome' – a
necroptosis-specific complex (complex III in Figure 1a) that is
analogous to the caspase-8-activating complex II that forms
during TNF-a-mediated apoptosis. An additional surprise in this
study was that cIAP1 is able to inhibit production of necrosis-
inducing mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) in
a RIP-dependent manner suggesting a unique role for
cIAP1 in mitochondrial metabolism. The authors found that
RNAi-mediated downregulation of the mitochondrial redox
carrier complex I (a component of the mitochondrial electron
transport chain) in the absence of cIAP1 prevented RIP1-
dependent ROS production. Interestingly, this did not involve
translocation of either RIP1 or RIP3 to mitochondria suggesting
the involvement of an unknown factor in this pathway
(Figure 1a). Thus, in this specific context, cIAP1 expression
is necessary and sufficient to keep the brakes on RIP-
dependent necroptosis owing to the lack of compensatory
cIAP2 expression.
cIAP1 is in the kNOw. In examining cIAP1-null mice
and their response to intra-tracheal bacterial infection,
Prakash et al.9found the expected cIAP2 compensation
present in lung tissue. However, examination of peritoneal
macrophages from these same mice revealed no upregulation
of cIAP2. The lack of cIAP activity in these macrophages
illustrates that mechanisms preventing compensation by
upregulation of cIAP2 exist in vivo, although we do not yet
have any insight into their nature. Perhaps not surprisingly, a
defect in proliferative activity and inflammatory response of
cIAP1-null peritoneal macrophages rendered the mice resis-
tant to LPS-induced endotoxin shock. This finding is similar to
that observed in cIAP2-null mice,6but cIAP1-null macrophages
were also unable to produce and release nitric oxide (NO). This
striking finding, due to impairment in their ability to express
Figure 1
has a critical role inactivating the NF-kB pathway through K63-linked polyubiquitylation of RIP1 kinase and/orTRAF2 or 5. The propagation of the NF-kB signalinto the nucleus
induces expression of a number of pro-survival genes including cIAP2 and inducible nitric oxide synthetase (iNOS). The lack of cIAP1 ubiquitin ligase activity leads to receptor
internalisation and the formation of death-inducing cytosolic complexes mediated by deubiquitylated RIP1. Specifically, the RIP1- and RIP3-containing Complex II can form to
activate caspase 8, leading to cleavage and inactivation of RIP1 and RIP3 and the initiation of an apoptotic cascade. Alternatively, in the absence of caspase-8 or in a context
where deubiquitylated RIP1 or RIP3 activity is high, the 'necrosome' (complex III) can form, in which mutual and auto-phosphorylation of RIP1 and RIP3 (labelled 'P' in this

respectively), insulin-like growth factor 2 binding protein 1 (IGF2BP1), and RNA helicase A (RHA)

inducible NO synthetase (iNOS), establishes a new and
specialised role for cIAP1 in the innate immune response.
These examples of distinct regulation and specialised roles
for cIAP1 in pathological contexts highlight its potential as a
target for the development of drug therapies that modulate its
expression. In addition, the key role that cIAP1 has in cell
survival, tumourogenesis and cancer progression coupled with
frequent cancer-associated mutations in IAP alleles gives a
strong rationale for studying the regulation of cIAP1 and cIAP2
expression. Although post-transcriptional regulation of cIAP2
has been described,10its expression is primarily controlled at
the level of the proteasome by cIAP1.5In contrast, as outlined
below, expression of cIAP1 is tightly controlled through
modulation of stability and translation of its mRNA.
cIAP1: The Paradigm of Post-transcriptional Control
Regulation of cIAP1 mRNA stability. cIAP1 mRNA half-
life is significantly reduced following exposure to ultraviolet
radiation (UVR). The resultant decrease in cIAP1 expression
leads to a significant increase in NF-kB activity.11We found
that the stability of cIAP1 mRNA is mediated by AU-rich
elements (ARE) in its 30UTR. AREs are cis-acting elements
containing an AUUUA pentamer (or similar sequences), and
generally target the mRNA for degradation through the
exosome.12Although the exact mechanism through which
cIAP1 mRNA is degraded remains unknown, we identified
hnRNP A1 as a protein factor that is responsible for cIAP1
mRNA instability (Figure 1b). hnRNP A1 is known as a
modulator of splicing13and IRES-dependent translation.14
Like many RNA binding proteins, hnRNP A1 is primarily a
nuclear protein although it accumulates in the cytoplasm
following specific environmental cues. For example, osmotic
stress causes hnRNPA1 to accumulate in the cytoplasm
where it represses translation of specific mRNAs14or
associates with stress granules.15UVR was found to
induce a similar cytoplasmic accumulation of hnRNPA1,
resulting in increased association of hnRNP A1 with cIAP1
mRNA and its subsequent degradation.11
Regulation of cIAP1 mRNA translation. cIAP1 protein
expression is also repressed as the result of both a long
(1.2kb) 50UTR that hinders ribosomal movement, and a small
upstream open reading frame (uORF) that strongly attenu-
ates initiation of cIAP1 translation at the authentic AUG start
codon (Figure 1b; Warnakulasuriyarachchi et al.16). In
response to stress, however, translation of cIAP1 is
mediated by the internal ribosome entry site (IRES), which
is active following induction of endoplasmic reticulum (ER)
stress or arsenite treatment and results in enhanced
expression of cIAP1.16–18cIAP1 IRES activity is regulated
by specific trans-acting protein factors including p86, a
protein formed by cleavage of p97/DAP5 during ER stress.19
Using RNA affinity chromatography, additional cIAP1 IRES
binding proteins NF45, NF90, IGF2BP1 and RHA were
identified (Figure 1b; Graber et al.20). NF45 was further
shown to be required for induction of cIAP1 during the ER
stress response. This data suggests the existence of an
auxiliary translation initiation complex that is active during
times when the cell has reduced general protein synthesis
allowing for continued translation of this important regulator
of apoptosis and NF-kB signalling.
cIAP1 post-transcriptional regulatory nodes therefore
represent druggable targets. Although we do not yet under-
stand the cellular mechanism that prevents compensation by
cIAP2 in the cell contexts explored herein, targeting cIAP1
expression in such situations represents a tractable strategy
for the development of drug therapies that modulate pro-
grammed cell death and/or the innate immune response.

Samson, provider of performance cordage, and Endenburg BV, Samson's Master Fabricating Distributor in Europe, has provided Seaway Heavy Lifting (SHL) with the first very large diameter synthetic rope slings certified by Lloyd's for offshore installations. The two lifting systems, made from 144-mm diameter AmSteel-Blue, Samson's rope made with 100% Dyneema high modulus polyethylene fiber, are currently assisting in the installation of 140 turbine foundation monopiles as a part of the North Sea's Greater Gabbard project, the largest wind farm currently under construction.
SHL anticipated that synthetic slings would reduce potential damage to the monopiles during their transfer from the supply barge to the deck of the installation vessel in rough seas. Each monopile weights from 519 to 676 metric tons. SHL chose to use braided rope slings over traditional woven round slings because strengths of up to 4,457 metric tons could be achieved, and because these slings have a removable jacket they are easy to inspect, repair, and splice on site. Another factor in SHL's decision to use rope slings was that they could be fabricated in longer continuous lengths than round slings.
The very large diameter rope was manufactured at Samson's Lafayette, La., plant. Subsequent break testing confirmed that the rope exceeded the strengths required for the job. Endenberg then fabricated the slings and grommets, with all weight-bearing points protected by chafe gear. Upon delivery, these became the first very large diameter synthetic rope slings certified by Lloyd's for multiple uses in offshore installations.
By the end of February 2010, 67 of the 140 turbine foundation monopiles had been installed. Of the two lifting systems fabricated, the first is still in use and shows no sign of wear according to Endenberg's master splicer, who has conducted two inspections. These inspections included removing the jacket and closely examining the entire line for wear and damage. Lloyd's also proof loaded the line and recertified it for continued use. Through this process, it was determined that the original set of slings could be used for the remainder of the installations, with the second set held as backup.

Just changed my banner profile photo https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=707991295894232&set=a.400513903308641.116476.100000501040244&type=1&theater to reflect and emphasize how innovations which www.urbaform.org and its partners proposed almost 2 years ago to the downtown project are still as viable today as back then. Here is a related story:
Rick VanDiepen of www.greenchips.org talks about "legacy" projects. This type of shipping container innovation not only would fit neatly into the shipping container theme of the downtown park which is under construction, it would uplift it with showcase innovation of global proportions at a very affordable price. It would stimulate conversation and innovation involving urban ag STEM resources and could stimulate lots of needed jobs and sustainable, secure food resources locally too. It could be part of larger urban indoor agriculture which could emerge in downtown Las Vegas.

Victoria Beckham in Stella McCartney
Victoria Beckham sure loves her Stella McCartney jeans! She took her sons to the movies in Los Angeles yesterday wearing a new pair of Stella McCartney ankle zip skinny jeans. I think they look amazing on her! I'm really really liking her whole outfit. It's hot! It's nice to see Victoria with her hair up like that as well. Huge thumbs up from me for this outfit! Buy these jeans here.
Victoria Beckham in Stella McCartney
Victoria Beckham was snapped with her sons at Heathrow airport in London. She was wearing her Stella McCartney grey ankle zip skinny jeans for the flight. We have seen Victoria in these jeans quite a few times now, especially while she is at the airport, they must be very comfy for traveling. In all honesty, I would like her outfit if it wasn't for the fur jacket, it would look much nicer and friendlier with a blazer or a cute cardigan.

SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO, Calif. (AP) — Small steps are being taken to prepare for possibly restarting the troubled San Onofre nuclear power plant, even as its future remains clouded with uncertainty, officials said Monday.
The seaside plant between San Diego and Los Angeles hasn't produced electricity in nearly a year, after a tiny radiation leak led to the discovery of excessive wear on hundreds of steam generator tubes that carry radioactive water.
Nuclear Regulatory Commission senior inspector Greg Warnick said Monday that the agency is beginning to prepare a detailed plan of what would need to be done to bring the plant safely back to service.
Meanwhile, workers for Southern California Edison are visiting other plants this week to become familiar with working conditions after a year with San Onofre on the sidelines.
"The equipment isn't used to operating at power, but the people aren't used to it either," Warnick said.
Edison has asked the NRC for permission to restart one of the reactors, Unit 2, and run it at reduced power. A decision isn't expected until at least March.
NRC chair Allison Macfarlane toured the plant Monday and later told reporters she's "concerned about the situation."
The trouble at San Onofre centers on steam generators that were installed during a $670 million overhaul in 2009 and 2010. After the plant was shut down, tests found some generator tubes were so badly worn that they could fail and possibly release radiation, a stunning finding inside the nearly new equipment.
In effect, what was intended to be an upgrade that would extend the plant's operating life for years could instead cut it short — or even end it.
Macfarlane, who is not directly involved in the restart decision, promised a thorough review of Edison's proposal. She defended the agency against criticism that it was silencing the public's voice in the review.

Loew's Jersey Theatre
54 Journal Square,
Jersey City,
90 people favorited this theater
Showing 301 - 325 of 1,414 comments
Hi Debbie,
I'm curious…..what theaters in our area have you visited or do you plan to visit? (theater name and location, please)
I'd really like to find some of the old movie palaces, especially in Northern NJ, that I've never visited.
Personally some of my favorites are The Lafayette, in Suffern, NY, the Cedar Lane, in Teneck, and (of course) the Loews Jersey.
It would be great to pool our knowledge of some of the great theatres that are still around and operational.(I checked the list of theatres in the general North NJ/New York area on "Cinema Trasures" but, sadly many of those that I was familiar with are either closed and/or demolished. I wonder if I am missing some?)
Wow, that picture is great. I just recently joined this website and am amazed at the memories that it is bringing back!!!!! so much so that I went last night to one of the old theatres in Rutherford, NJ that I went to as a kid and posted my experience on that movies page. Now I want to visit all of the theatres that are still there. That is my plan and I aim to do it and post as I go to each one. Since I still live in the Northern NJ area I can get to most of them pretty easily. I will keep you all posted.
That's my friend Jeff S! His comments can be found all over CT, mostly on the Lafayette Theater page.
How about the restoration of the dome over the center ticket booth? It doesn't need to be bronze. It could be a composite material, and it could be copied from the King's which I believe still has the same dome. I with you on the marquee, the blade, and the upper balcony lobby restorations.
Any way, here are some amazing backstage interior shots I found on the web. Many thanks to jeffs4653, whoever you are:
As much as I would love to see the cross-over lobby brought back to original working order, what I'm really hoping for is work to begin on the ventilation/AC system at the Loews (a costly project, I'm sure)…… when that is accomplished, then the possibilty of summer classic film programs might become a reality. I know the summer is when the FOL does most of their renovations, but to have a couple of weekends of "summer" film classics wouild be something to be hoped for.
I always like seeing a classic movie here, even though I haven't been in a while.
Great point Ziggy! I do see the day when, once the interior is completed, the focus can shift to the outside. My preference would be marquee first then the blade. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE theater blades, but the main theater focal point is the marquee and the Jersey had a beauty. The blade would be the feather in the cap so to speak.
Hello LuisV,
You're right about the marquee needing to be restored. I guess I was focused on the vertical because, well, because it's GONE! The restoration of the marquee might not be so farfetched. Quite a few replicas of old marquees have gone up, most notably on the Paramount in Times Square, which isn't even a theatre any more. Chances are the frame for the original marquee is still there, buried behind the fluorescent panels currently in place.
Ziggy, I agree about the blade, but why stop there? The entire marquee should be restored. I know that's a big wish and that a lot of money would be required, but…..it would be beautiiful and someday…….
What a great picture of a great-looking theatre! Thanks.
That's a pretty interesting double feature from that picture. "From Russia with Love" and "Twice-Told Tales" with Vincent Price.
Too bad that beautiful vertical sign is no longer extant. I heard that it had to come down because of structural issues. Oh well. Maybe someday we'll be seeing a replica put up, as has been done at Shea's in Buffalo and at the Fox in St. Louis.
Picture.. 1964.. behind the bus..
Kudos to the FOL! Great season of classic films, especially with your screening of "The Uninvited". You folks really came through on your promise.
I'm already looking forward the fall season…. I hope there will be more mystery, horror and science fiction.
Once again, thank you for all of your hard work, FOL.. You guys are the best!
Wow, very nice.
Excellent photo composition.
Thought this would be of interest…
(Boxoffice Magazine 1/13/75 (Eastern Edition) p.E-3)
"The new Loews triplex in Jersey City recently reopened following conversion and thus far business is reported to be very good, according to manager Ann Rauch. Theatre 1, which had been the balcony in the original house, now seats 1,078. The original downstairs, now divided into Theatre 2 and Theatre 3, seats 524 in each of the new units. Reopening attractions were "Amazing Grace", "Scenes From a Marriage", and "Murder on the Orient Express." The original Loews' Jersey City Theatre was opened more than 50 years ago. This is the first of the so-called "movie palaces" in the North Jersey area, most fo which are located in cities such as Newark, Paterson, Passaic, as well as Jersey City, that has undergone conversion from single to multi-unit operation."
Beautiful photos of a beautiful theater.
This coming Saturday, May 30th The Landmark Loews Jersey Theatre located on Journal Square in Jersey City, New Jersey will be presenting the first of our final 2 shows of the season.
The Landmark Loews Jersey is located directly across from the PATH subway station connecting Manhattan with Jersey City, it is also easy to reach from most area highways.
All Show Are Presented In 35mm With Genuine Carbon Arc Projection.
Saturday May 30th at 6:00pm – The Uninvited (1944) â€" Rescheduled from an earlier date with a newly struck print!
Saturday May 30th at 8:15pm – Rebecca (1940) â€" Alfred Hitchcock's classic thriller.
The following weekend, June 5th and 6th, an animation weekend as our final shows of the season.
Friday June 5th at 8:00pm – Spirited Away (2001) â€" Acclaimed Japanese animated feature film about a little girl lost in a surreal world. Dubbed into English Version.
Saturday June 6th at 3:00pm â€" A collection of classic cartoons from the golden age of Hollywood, all in 35mm!
Saturday June 6th at 7:30pm – Who Framed Roger Rabbit (1988) â€" I know who framed him, do you?
Visit The Landmark Loews Jersey web site for details.
[size=1]The Landmark Loews Jersey Theatre[/size]
It is the dubbed English version – Lauren Holly, Michael Chiklis, Suzanne Pleshette, Jason Marsden, Daveigh Chase, John Ratzenberger and David Ogden Stiers are among the large cast providing voices.
Since this is intended to be a "family-friendly†show (and not a foreign film festival), I doubt that the audience FOL is trying to attract would want to suffer through over two hours of Japanese-language dialogue with English subtitles (sorry to those "purists†out there). There have been exceptions, where only original, foreign-language versions of family films were available (such as "White Mane").
Alto, is that the original foreign-language version of "Spirited Away" with subtitles. or is it the dubbed American version?
Announced this past weekend: the film season will conclude with great family entertainment â€" animated classics! (Exact times TBA soon)
5 June – Friday
Evening feature: "Spirited Away†(2001, 2:05)
6 June â€" Saturday
Late afternoon: classic animated shorts (Looney Tunes, Betty Boop, etc.)
Evening feature: "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?†(1988, 1:44)
Great video, pjacyk. It really captures the awe and wonder of the Loew's Jersey and her great Robert Morton organ. One can only hope that it will inspire even more people to come to the show.
Tonight: "Dinner at Eight" at 6:00 pm and "The General" at 8:30 pm.
Don't miss it. It is the golden age of Hollywood come to life in 2009.
A video with scenes from the movie pre-show a few weeks ago. The super organ is shown too filling the whole theatre with music.
Ralph Ringstad, Jr. will be playing. Go to The Garden State Theatre Organ Society for more info on the organ.
Very nice photo: well-balanced and moody. Really shows off the digninty of the place.

"Wyndham in Transition "
- Comp & Benefits
- Work/Life Balance
- Senior Management
- Career Opportunities
I worked at Wyndham Worldwide
Wyndham's senior leadership is trying to make the company a good place to work while attempting to instill an atmosphere of personal commitment to service. Behind the scenes the quality of the Finance and HR Benefits teams is very good to excellent.
The travel industry is hard hit by the global financial crisis. Layoffs and re-structurings quietly continue as the company attempts to re-align itself with the new reality. The sudden disappearance of respected people has led to fear and uncertainty in the ranks.
Reassure the troops. Take a hard look at the talent you have and find places where good people can be used more productively before letting them go. Consider replacing your weak links with stronger people even if they do not appear to be a perfect fit initially.

The company supports a balanced work-life schedule. Time off for necessary medical and family situations is rarely questioned. If necessary, remote work is usually and option.
The company has invested significant resources into understanding their customers and has made improvements in reaction to their findings.Cons
Middle management was not effective in supporting personal and career growth. Employees are likely to be trapped in their current role because their immediate supervisor is not skilled in the ways of people development.
The size of the company makes it difficult for true professional relationships to develop; with so many levels of leadership, the strategic decision makers are too far removed from the worker bees making it all happen.Advice to ManagementAdvice
This company would benefit from a change towards recognizing its employees are the number 1 asset. Investing properly in the workforce will lead to better performance. Bounds of talent is going untapped because the leadership has not identified this as critical to success.Doesn't RecommendNo opinion of CEO

I worked at Wyndham WorldwidePros
It is a large company with room for advancement at lower levels and you can gain experience in the hotel industry. Benefits (health insurance 401k) are comparable with other similarly situated companies and the pay scale is anot awful. Other workers are generally supportive of each other. Home office employees are moving into a new very nice building as of March, 2009.Cons
You never really get ahead. When they decide you have been there too long and you make too much money you get downsized. Incompetent senior managers often keep their jobs by political infighting having nothing to do with their skills. People steal your ideas and get ahead with them by taking credit for them. People who have no idea what they are doing often end up making bad management decisions. The company and the industry are headed down the tubes for quite some time so there is little hope for long term financial growth. The best people have already quit or been fired so you are now dealing with the B or C team both in senior and middle management.. This company's best days have passed them by. look elsewhere for real opportunity.Advice to ManagementAdvice
Resign and hand over the reigns to people who are competent and fair to longstanding experienced middle managers who actually run the companyDoesn't RecommendDisapproves of CEO

really if I am using DHC's I should be using turrets ??? and thereby giving away one advantage the ship has ?
I roll my eyes every time I see someone preaching turrets for a science ship. Cannons combined with turrets are GREAT for a tactical officer but not so much for a Science Officer.
I run my build for the vestas in ESTF's and PVP and I have NEVER strapped a turret to it why would I want to give up FREE subsystem targeting.... my build uses 3 Aux DHC's forward and 2 beam arrays and a mine launcher aft... and not a single gimmick console that did not come with the Vesta 3-pack and it works just fine... alternately I have been experimenting with a Romulan Refit of my Vesta which shows great promise....
remember its about what you are specced to do, not what gimmicks you can pack on the ship...

A representative for Lindsay Lohan has slammed reports the actress has relapsed, after a photo of her reaching for a bottle of red wine surfaced on Wednesday.
RELATED: Most Memorable Celebrity Denials
The troubled star completed a 90-day court-ordered stint at a rehab center in Malibu, Calif., in August, and has since made it clear she is determined to stay clean and sober, but the new pictures feature Lohan appearing to be grabbing for a bottle of wine, sparking rumors that she has turned her back on sobriety.
RELATED: Lindsay Lohan 'feeling good' thanks to new tat, possible new guy
But Lohan's rep tells "Extra" that the actress "continues to succeed in her recovery," adding, "The photo does not show Lindsay consuming any alcohol and could easily be misleading as her purse is also in the photo [next to the bottle] despite what the photos show."
Her father, Michael Lohan also dismissed the reports, telling Radar Online, "The story is ridiculous. First of all, I've never known Lindsay to ever, ever, ever have a glass of wine."
RELATED: Miley's salvia scandal, Britney's quickie wedding, plus more pop stars behaving badly
"I've seen and I speak to Lindsay constantly and every time I do, she is of clear mind and by no means do I have any suspicion of her relapsing in any way."
