Often enough, in science as in life, unexpected knowledge has a personal impact. Researchers seeking rare gene variants in just a few individuals with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) discovered that one patient had a novel combination of two mutations. Those mutations caused a different disease, unrelated to ADHDa blood disorder called idiopathic hemolytic anemia.
Although the man had long contended with the blood disease, "idiopathic" meant that physicians were unable to determine the cause of his particular anemiauntil now, say authors of a new study.
As gene-sequencing costs continue to drop as a result of new technology, the authors predict "a coming wave of unrelated findings and the resolution of 'idiopathic' diseases." In its wake will be new ethical and clinical implicationssuch as how and when to best share these findings with people who provide their own DNA for the research.
Rapid improvements in analytical tools are enabling researchers to more frequently sequence whole genomes of individual patients, said study leader Gholson J. Lyon, M.D., Ph.D., a psychiatrist and principal investigator in the Center for Applied Genomics at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. "As we sequence whole genomes, we will find new mutations unrelated to the disease under investigation," he added. "How do we handle this information, especially when it doesn't lend itself to immediate action by a patient and physician? This is an issue that is coming to the forefront with current advances in genetic knowledge."
Lyon, and co-corresponding author Kai Wang, Ph.D., published the study online July 15 in the journal Discovery Medicine. (Formerly at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, Wang is now at the University of Southern California.)
In the current study, Lyon and colleagues performed genetic analysis in a Utah family in which a father and two sons have a severe form of ADHD. All three had respond

Sources close to Kelley also say a complaint about Kelley's former attorney was filed with the Florida Consumer Assistance Program, charging that he may have violated attorney-client privilege by holding a news conference and speaking about Kelley.
In addition, a letter from Kelley's lawyer was dispatched to the Department of Justice, asking if there will be an investigation of how his clients' names leaked to the media.
Victor told ABC News he has not yet received the letter that was released to selected reporters this evening, but after being told of its contents Victor said it appears to be a frivolous complaint.
"I don't know what they're upset about. I've said nothing derogatory about Ms. Kelley and have only told the facts as I know them, in fact much of what I've said was complimentary," Victor said.
As to charges of inappropriate behavior, Victor said he was mystified. He told ABC News he had only met Kelley in the presence of his female chief of staff and received gracious follow emails from Kelley afterwards.
Victor said he did indeed contact Kelley after the Petraeus scandal broke, but mainly to find out what was going on.
Requests for comment from the Kelleys' Florida attorney were not immediately returned.

Argentina hold the record for most bookings in World Cup history with 88.
That is not their only unwanted disciplinary record, however. Leandro Cufre holds the 'honour' of being the latest red card in a World Cup match having been dismissed after 121 minutes against Germany in 2006.
Claudio Caniggia remains the only player to be red-carded from the bench after his tirade against Sweden in 2002.
Argentina also 'boast' the most sendings off of any country in World Cup history with 10 red cards in 64 games, added to the aforementioned record of most bookings since the tournament's inception.
And last but not least, they are the only side to have two players sent off in the same World Cup final, courtesy of Pedro Monzon and Gustavo Dezotti's dismissals against West Germany in 1990.

Convocation Ceremony for Questrom Graduate Students
Friday, May 15, 2015 – 6:00 PM
Agganis Arena
Agganis Arena is at 925 Commonwealth Avenue (Google maps)
The Convocation Ceremony for Questrom Graduate Students begins at 6:00p.m. Graduates should arrive at the Feld Entrance, of Agganis Arena (on Harry Agganis Way) by 5:15p.m., (go upstairs and to the left) in order to check in and line-up in time for the ceremony. See the commencement map for check in location. It is very important that you arrive on time. If you arrive late, you risk being lined up out of order (not with your specific program) or not being able to participate in the ceremony at all. Once the ceremony has begun, students who arrive late will not be able to join the procession.
GUESTS may arrive at the Main Arena Entrance of Agganis Arena (Commonwealth Avenue) no earlier than 5:00p.m. All graduates and guests are subject to the University's Commencement Weekend security measures. All bags will be screened and no bags larger than 12" x 12" x 6" will be permitted into the Arena, so please plan accordingly.
Each graduate will be recognized individually during the ceremony. No RSVP is necessary for students who have successfully submitted a graduation application to the GPO. We assume that all eligible students may be in attendance.
Students who plan to complete their degree requirements in May 2015 or September 2015 and those who completed their degree requirements in September 2014 or January 2015 are eligible to participate in the May 2015 Commencement Ceremony.
Upon check-in, you will be given a card that has your name, degree(s), phonetic pronunciation (if you provided this on your graduation application), and honors status. You must keep this card with you and bring it up on stage where it will be handed to the presenter.
From the North Shell (Harry Agganis Way Entrance), BU staff and student volunteers will lead you to your seats in Agganis Arena. A program of speeches, recognitions, and awards will follow, culminating in the finale – having each student walk across the stage to be recognized and receive a diploma cover from Dean Freeman. To allow each student the opportunity to be properly recognized we ask that you and your guests remain seated throughout the ceremony. This will help to create an atmosphere of decorum and respect for every graduate.
Students and their guests are invited to a reception immediately following the ceremony.
Reception: Fitness and Recreation Center (FitRec)
Immediately following the ceremony, a reception for graduates and their guests will be held in the Fitness and Recreation Center, 915 Commonwealth Avenue, next to Agganis Arena. The reception is expected to begin at approximately 8:00 PM. Any dinner reservations should be made for 9:00 PM or later.
Guests should follow signs from Agganis Arena to the FitRec Reception. Students will leave the arena via an underground tunnel that will lead them into FitRec for the Reception. You may meet your guests at the reception in the Upper Basketball courts of FitRec or leave the building to meet your guests in the FitRec plaza. Cell phone reception may not be reliable inside Agganis or FitRec.
Parking and Public Transportation
Traffic along Commonwealth Avenue during Commencement Weekend is normally heavily congested, which can cause long delays, so please plan to give yourself more time to arrive. We highly recommend using public transportation to and from campus whenever possible. Transportation information can be found here. While all university parking lots will be open and free of charge during Commencement weekend, space will be limited and demand will be high, particularly on Friday afternoon when faculty and staff are still working, so we strongly encourage you to use public transportation whenever possible. Parking Services will be running a shuttle service up and down Commonwealth Avenue all weekend.

Article: Peptide-induced membrane leakage by lysine derivatives of gramicidin A in liposomes, planar bilayers, and erythrocytes[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Introducing a charged group near the N-terminus of gramicidin A (gA) is supposed to suppress its ability to form ion channels by restricting its head-to-head dimerisation. The present study dealt with the activity of [Lys1]gA, [Lys3]gA, [Glu1]gA, [Glu3]gA, [Lys2]gA, and [Lys5]gA in model membrane systems (planar lipid bilayers and liposomes) and erythrocytes. In contrast to the Glu-substituted peptides, the lysine derivatives of gA caused non-specific liposomal leakage monitored by fluorescence de-quenching of lipid vesicles loaded with carboxyfluorescein or other fluorescent dyes. Measurements of electrical current through a planar lipid membrane revealed formation of giant pores by Lys-substituted analogues, which depended on the presence of solvent in the bilayer lipid membrane. The efficacy of unselective pore formation in liposomes depended on the position of the lysine residue in the amino acid sequence, increasing in the row: [Lys2]gA < [Lys5]gA < [Lys1]gA < [Lys3]gA. The similar series of potency was exhibited by the Lys-substituted gA analogues in facilitating erythrocyte hemolysis, whereas the Glu-substituted analogues showed negligible hemolytic activity. Oligomerization of the Lys-substituted peptides is suggested to be involved in the process of nonselective pore formation.Biochimica et Biophysica Acta 06/2013; 1828(11).

ABSTRACT: A limited decrease in mitochondrial membrane potential can be beneficial for cells, especially under some pathological conditions, suggesting that mild uncouplers (protonophores) causing such an effect are promising candidates for therapeutic uses. The great majority of protonophores are weak acids capable of permeating across membranes in their neutral and anionic forms. In the present study, protonophorous activity of a series of derivatives of cationic rhodamine 19, including dodecylrhodamine (C12R1) and its conjugate with plastoquinone (SkQR1), was revealed using a variety of assays. Derivatives of rhodamine B, lacking dissociable protons, showed no protonophorous properties. In planar bilayer lipid membranes, separating two compartments differing in pH, diffusion potential of H+ ions was generated in the presence of C12R1 and SkQR1. These compounds induced pH equilibration in liposomes loaded with the pH probe pyranine. C12R1 and SkQR1 partially stimulated respiration of rat liver mitochondria in State 4 and decreased their membrane potential. Also, C12R1 partially stimulated respiration of yeast cells but, unlike the anionic protonophore FCCP, did not suppress their growth. Loss of function of mitochondrial DNA in yeast (grande-petite transformation) is known to cause a major decrease in the mitochondrial membrane potential. We found that petite yeast cells are relatively more sensitive to the anionic uncouplers than to C12R1 compared with grande cells. Together, our data suggest that rhodamine 19-based cationic protonophores are self-limiting; their uncoupling activity is maximal at high membrane potential, but the activity decreases membrane potentials, which causes partial efflux of the uncouplers from mitochondria and, hence, prevents further membrane potential decrease.Journal of Biological Chemistry 03/2011; 286(20):17831-40.

Article: Induction of lipid flip-flop by colicin E1 - a hallmark of proteolipidic pore formation in liposome membranes.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The addition of the channel-forming domain of colicin E1 to liposomes elicited the transmembrane diffusion (flip-flop) of lipids concomitant to the release of the fluorescent dye from liposomes. Good correlation was found between kinetic and concentration dependences of the two processes. Both the liposome leakage and the lipid flip-flop were stimulated upon alkalinization of the buffer solution after colicin binding at acidic pH. These results in combination with the analysis of the data on colicin binding to liposomes provide evidence in favor of the validity of the toroidal (proteolipidic) pore model as the mechanism of colicin channel formation.Biochemistry (Moscow) 06/2010; 75(6):728-33.

ABSTRACT: The in vitro activity of many pore-forming toxins, in particular, the rate of increase in the membrane conductance induced by the channel-forming domain (P178) of colicin E1 is maximum at an acidic pH. However, after P178 binding at acidic conditions, a subsequent pH shift from 4 to 6 on both sides of the planar bilayer lipid membrane caused a large increase in the trans-membrane current which was solely due to an increase in the number of open channels. This effect required the presence of anionic lipid. Replacing the His440 residue of P178 by alanine eliminated the pH-shift effect thereby showing that it is associated with deprotonation of this histidine residue. It was concluded that alkalinization-induced weakening of the electrostatic interactions between colicin and the membrane surface facilitates conformational changes required for the transition of membrane-bound colicin molecules to an active channel state.Biochimica et Biophysica Acta 09/2009; 1788(9-1788):1962-1966.

Article: Ion channels of various types induced in lipid membranes by gramicidin a derivatives carrying a cationic sequence at their C-termini[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The channel-forming activity of gramicidin A derivatives carrying positively charged amino acid sequences at their C-termini was studied on planar bilayer lipid membranes and liposomes. We showed previously (FEBS Lett., 2005, vol. 579, pp. 5247–5252) that, at low concentrations, these peptides form classical cation-selective pores typical of gramicidin A, whereas, at high concentrations, they form large nonselective pores. The ability of the peptides to form nonselective pores, which was determined by the efflux of carboxyfluorescein, an organic dye, from liposomes, decreased substantially as the length of the gramicidin fragment in the series of cationic analogues was truncated. CD spectra showed that large pores are formed by peptides having both β6.3 single-stranded and β5.6 double-stranded helical conformations of the gramicidin fragment, with the C-terminal cationic sequence being extended. The dimerization of the peptides by the oxidation of the terminal cysteine promoted the formation of nonselective pores. It was shown that nonselective pores are not formed in membranes of erythrocytes, which may indicate a dependence of the channel-forming ability on the membrane type. The results may be of interest for the directed synthesis of peptides with antibacterial activity.Russian Journal of Bioorganic Chemistry 09/2007; 33(5):474-481.

ABSTRACT: Colicin E1 belongs to a group of bacteriocins whose cytotoxicity toward Escherichia coli is exerted through formation of ion channels that depolarize the cytoplasmic membrane. The lipid dependence of colicin single-channel conductance demonstrated intimate involvement of lipid in the structure of this channel. The colicin formed "small" conductance 60-picosiemens (pS) channels, with properties similar to those previously characterized, in 1,2-dieicosenoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (C20) or thinner membranes, whereas it formed a novel "large" conductance 600-pS state in thicker 1,2-dierucoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (C22) bilayers. Both channel states were anion-selective and voltage-gated and displayed a requirement for acidic pH. Lipids having negative spontaneous curvature inhibited the formation of both channels but increased the ratio of open 600 pS to 60 pS conductance states. Different diameters of small and large channels, 12 and 16 A, were determined from the dependence of single-channel conductance on the size of nonelectrolyte solute probes. Colicin-induced lipid "flip-flop" and the decrease in anion selectivity of the channel in the presence of negatively charged lipids implied a significant contribution of lipid to the structure of the channel, most readily described as toroidal organization of lipid and protein to form the channel pore.Journal of Biological Chemistry 06/2006; 281(20):14408-16.

ABSTRACT: According to recent data, gramicidin A analogues having positively charged amino acid sequences at the C-termini exhibit two types of channel activity in lipid membranes: classical cation-selective channels and large unselective pores. The induction of unselective pores was shown here to strongly depend on the redox state of the membrane-bathing solution, if the gramicidin analogue contained a cysteine residue in the sequence GSGPKKKRKVC attached to the C-terminus. In particular, the addition of H2O2 led to an increase in the transmembrane current and the loss of cationic selectivity on planar bilayer lipid membranes and an increase in the carboxyfluorescein leakage of liposomes. The effect was observed at high concentration of the peptide while was absent at the single-channel level. It was concluded that oxidation led to possible formation of dimers of the peptide, which promoted the formation of large unselective pores.Biochimica et Biophysica Acta 05/2006; 1758(4):493-8.

ABSTRACT: Based on the model of a toroidal protein-lipid pore, the effect of calcium ions on colicin E1 channel was predicted. In electrophysiological experiments Ca2+ suppressed the activity of colicin E1 channels in membranes formed of diphytanoylphosphatidylglycerol, whereas no desorption of the protein occurred from the membrane surface. The effect of Ca2+ was not observed on membranes formed of diphytanoylphosphatidylcholine. Single-channel measurements revealed that Ca2+-induced reduction of the colicin-induced current across the negatively charged membrane was due to a decrease in the number of open colicin channels and not changes in their properties. In line with the toroidal model, the effect of Ca2+ on the colicin E1 channel-forming activity is explained by alteration of the membrane lipid curvature caused by electrostatic interaction of Ca2+ with negatively charged lipid head groups.Biochemistry (Moscow) 02/2006; 71(1):99-103.

Article: Large unselective pore in lipid bilayer membrane formed by positively charged peptides containing a sequence of gramicidin A[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Ion-channel activity of a series of gramicidin A analogues carrying charged amino-acid sequences on the C-terminus of the peptide was studied on planar bilayer lipid membranes and liposomes. It was found that the analogue with the positively charged sequence GSGRRRRSQS forms classical cationic pores at low concentrations and large unselective pores at high concentrations. The peptide was predominantly in the right-handed beta(6.3)-helical conformation in liposomes as shown by circular dichroism spectroscopy. The single-channel conductance of the large pore was estimated to be 320pS in 100mM choline chloride as judged from the fluctuation analysis of the multi-channel current. The analogue with the negatively charged sequence GSGEEEESQS exhibited solely classical cationic channel activity. The ability of a peptide to form different type of channels can be used in the search for broad-spectrum antibiotics.FEBS Letters 10/2005; 579(23):5247-52.

Article: Effect of lipids with different spontaneous curvature on the channel activity of colicin E1: evidence in favor of a toroidal pore[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The channel activity of colicin E1 was studied in planar lipid bilayers and liposomes. Colicin E1 pore-forming activity was found to depend on the curvature of the lipid bilayer, as judged by the effect on channel activity of curvature-modulating agents. In particular, the colicin-induced trans-membrane current was augmented by lysophosphatidylcholine and reduced by oleic acid, agents promoting positive and negative membrane curvature, respectively. The data obtained imply direct involvement of lipids in the formation of colicin E1-induced pore walls. It is inferred that the toroidal pore model previously validated for small antimicrobial peptides is applicable to colicin E1, a large protein that contains ten alpha-helices in its pore-forming domain.FEBS Letters 11/2004; 576(1-2):205-10.

Article: Chemical and Photochemical Modification of Colicin E1 and Gramicidin A in Bilayer Lipid Membranes[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Chemical modification and photodynamic treatment of the colicin E1 channel-forming domain (P178) in vesicular and planar bilayer lipid membranes (BLMs) was used to elucidate the role of tryptophan residues in colicin E1 channel activity. Modification of colicin tryptophan residues by N-bromosuccinimide (NBS), as judged by the loss of tryptophan fluorescence, resulted in complete suppression of wild-type P178 channel activity in BLMs formed from fully saturated (diphytanoyl) phospholipids, both at the macroscopic-current and single-channel levels. The similar effect on both the tryptophan fluorescence and the electric current across BLM was observed also after NBS treatment of gramicidin channels. Of the single-tryptophan P178 mutants studied, W460 showed the highest sensitivity to NBS treatment, pointing to the importance of the water-exposed Trp460 in colicin channel activity. In line with previous work, the photodynamic treatment (illumination with visible light in the presence of a photosensitizer) led to suppression of P178 channel activity in diphytanoyl-phospholipid membranes concomitant with the damage to tryptophan residues detected here by a decrease in tryptophan fluorescence. The present work revealed novel effects: activation of P178 channels as a result of both NBS and photodynamic treatments was observed with BLMs formed from unsaturated (dioleoyl) phospholipids. These phenomena are ascribed to the effect of oxidative modification of double-bond-containing lipids on P178 channel formation. The pronounced stimulation of the colicin-mediated ionic current observed after both pretreatment with NBS and sensitized photomodification of the BLMs support the idea that distortion of membrane structure can facilitate channel formation.Journal of Membrane Biology 06/2004; 199(1):51-62.

Letter: Had enough of Delta
Geraldine Holmes
Delta Air Lines is gradually reducing its presence in Memphis. Good riddance. Bring in a company that will get us from Memphis to wherever we want to go without delays, cancellations and other inconvenience.
A recent trip to Washington, D.C., turned out to be a most stressful experience. I was scheduled to leave Memphis at 8:35 a.m., but due to delays and not being able to get on other flights, I arrived in D.C. at 7 that night.
It was unbelievable that I would have a problem coming back; however, the nonstop flight to Memphis was delayed, then canceled. I was supposed to arrive in Memphis near 7 p.m. It was near 2 a.m. the next day. My luggage was not on the flight, resulting in another trip to the airport. Delta made no concession for the inconvenience.
Surely there are other companies that could provide better service.

Manufacturer: Champion Nutrition
Mfg Part#: 7089
Sku: 220201505
See more in Vitamins/Muti-Vitamins
|Dietary supplement. Low fat. Great taste. Nitrogen rich. Mixes instantly, no blender required. Think your protein drink is giving you all the muscle you can get? Think again. Pure Whey Fusion gives you stronger workouts and superior recovery. This means: better stamina (lower perceived exertion) throughout your training session. Faster increases in strength. Faster growth as a result of harder workouts and improved nutrient intake. Carbs and Protein Together Unlock Your Growth Potential. Most athletes know by now that the way to recover is to take protein before and after training. Research into nutrient timing has shown that you recover up to six times faster as a result. But new research shows that if you aren't getting carbohydrate with your protein during training you may be working your tail off for nothing! If you have stopped growing and don't know why, this may be your problem. If you have stopped getting stronger this may be the answer. If your stamina has been so-so, this may kick your workouts back into high gear. But Don't Carbs Make You Fat? Not when you take carbs during HIS! HIS means: High Insulin Sensitivity, a condition that occurs after twenty minutes of intense training and lasts up to a half-hour after training. During this time, carbs are driven straight into muscle to supercharge your workouts and create stored glycogen for tomorrow's torture session. Stronger workouts mean more muscle stimulation and that's how muscles start growing again. Do I Still Need Regular Protein? You may take pure protein at all other times of the day if you are trying to minimize carbohydrate intake, but during and immediately after training, use Pure Whey Fusion to maximize your gains. Pure Whey Fusion contains no creatine, table sugar, or added fat, just the highest grade of American-made protein and natural complex carbohydrates from maize. Excellent BCAA to EAA ratio. Total of BCAA (21.9 g)/Total of EAA (43.7 g) = 50.1%.

People still need a safe place to put money in this turbulent world.
The role of Islam in conjuncture with individual rights, politics, and women will lead to some turbulent times.
Propelled by the turbulent currents of their love affair, for either one of them to turn back would have been difficult.
1530s, "disorderly, tumultuous, unruly" (of persons), from Middle French turbulent (12c.), from Latin turbulentus "full of commotion, restless," from turba "turmoil, crowd" (see turbid). In reference to weather, attested from 1570s.

The City of Calgary and the Province of Alberta variously point to planning and studies from 1959 or the 1970s as the origin of the Southwest Ring Road.1 While these studies mark important milestones in the history of this road, particularly around planning for the current iteration, the truth is that the concept is a much older one than that.
(Township plan of Bowness, Mongomery, and what would eventually become west Calgary, 1953)
Though early efforts to plan for roads that encircled Calgary's downtown area were undertaken, including some dating back to 1914, these were not acted upon in their time. It wasn't until a post-war explosion of vehicle ownership and population growth in Calgary had occurred that the issue of bypass roads would again be brought to the fore.
The 11-year period between 1952 and 1963 constitute the practical origin of Calgary's bypass road system, and would see incredible effort and progress on this issue: from outright rejection, to intensive planning, and finally to construction of key portions of Calgary's first southwest bypass route.
Early Bypass Proposal
In early 1953, Calgary M.L.A. Fred Colborne wrote a memorandum on the benefits of building a bypass road between the Old Banff Coach Road (now Bow Trail) and the Shouldice bridge in Bowness. This memorandum was sent to the Minister of Highways Gordon Taylor in an effort to advocate for such a road; the first rural bypass road envisioned for the west side of Calgary.

Suggested Use
- Good water is an essential part of brewing a great cup of tea. We recommend using spring or filtered water.
- Be sure to relax! Some of the most enjoyable aspects of tea are the calmness and ritual that surround it.
- This is a delicate herb and is more potent when exposed to high temperatures for a short period of time. So that your tea has its maximum medicinal properties and flavor, be sure that your water is at a rolling boil when you pour it over your teabags.
- If you desire a medicinal tea, be sure to use one tea bag per cup of boiling water, cover and steep for 7-12 minutes. This is known as the infusion method.
- If you desire a pleasure tea or quick brew, use one teabag per cup of hot water. Pour water over teabags, cover, and let steep 3 to 5 minutes to taste. Enjoy!
Red raspberry (rubus idaeus)
The above herbs have been chosen as identifying with our demanding standards. Every batch is thoroughly tested to ensure superior potency and flavor, so you can enjoy a great cup of tea!
No flavorings, preservatives or sweeteners of any kind.

The Rise Of Vinyl
Sales of vinyl records are up in the United States and I have a theory on why some of us are going analog.
Sales of vinyl records are up in the United States and I have a theory on why some of us are going analog.
The music industry wishes young listeners would abandon low-bit-rate compressed digital music for harder-to-pirate and more profitable CDs. Contrary to the long-held belief that young listeners think lossy compressed music is "just fine," Harman researcher Dr. Sean Olive has published results from the first peer-reviewed scientific test showing that young listeners will in fact choose CD-quality audio over lossy alternatives when given the choice. Has the dream of a new generation embracing CDs come true? Not so fast.
NPR reported that CD sales tanked in 2010, particularly among younger buyers. The trend suggests that vinyl and iPods are sinking the audio CD into the so-called "fidelity belly," where mediocre products go to die.
In his book Trade-Off, journalist Kevin Maney wrote that a truly successful product provides either the richest user experience (fidelity) or the greatest convenience. Less successful products fall into what he labeled the fidelity belly, "the no-man's-land of consumer experience," characterized by commercial apathy, insufficient fidelity, and insufficient convenience.
Apple succeeds in the consumer computer market by providing the richest pre-sales experience in its retail stores. Dell and HP succeed by providing an ultra-convenient pre-sales experience online. Who is in the belly? Everyone else.
Sinking into the fidelity belly is essentially the fast track to obsolescence. Staying out of the belly is never assured, because customer expectations for fidelity and convenience constantly evolve.
I think it's safe to say that we're at the end of the "album age," and although the format will hold on for a while, it's clearly waning in popularity. I've given this a lot of thought and have come up with what I think are the reasons, but be aware, they're not all exactly what the popular wisdom assumes. So let's begin with the 6 reasons why the album format has, for all intents and purposes, died.
1) It was a visual experience. The album format in the vinyl record age had the advantage of that wonderful piece of cardboard known as the album jacket. The album jacket contained the cover art (still found on CDs), and most importantly, the liner notes on the back, which we'll get to in a second. But one thing that everyone either forgets or has never experienced is the fact that millions of albums were purchased completely on impulse because of the album artwork alone!
Have you noticed that you're streaming more audio and video? That your purchase of CDs and DVDs has dramatically decreased? That your DVD cabinet and CD racks have a layer of dust on them (literally, or otherwise)? That your digital CD/DVD cabinet (i.e. iTunes) is being opened less frequently? (Apple knows this, by the way, it's why the new AppleTV has no hard-drive; it's all streaming…really think they're not going to do the same for music?)
We've started up the Kurzweil Curve with respect to streaming, and it's only going to accelerate from here.
The interesting thing is that, because the transition has been relatively gradual, you probably haven't noticed that this radical behavioral and technological change has occurred. You haven't noticed because it hasn't hurt; in fact it's felt good.
There are opportunities here. For content creators, the sooner you reconcile the fact most people aren't likely going to want to own a digital copy of your music/movie/tv show/book (let alone a CD, etc.), the sooner you can devise profitable streaming models.
It doesn't seem that long ago since Radiohead did what was once unimaginable - release an album without being signed to a major record company. On the long march to digital ubiquity as the means of music delivery Radiohead avoided the tar pit that seems to be major label thinking and came out clear winners. Yes, they resorted later to releasing the album as a good old CD into regular retail distribution but they were pioneers and were soon followed with great success by Nine Inch Nails and to lesser success by many others. Both these bands had an understanding of what their fans wanted [price level choice, quality and special packaging] and both bands understood the power of the internet for marketing purposes and direct reach. [NB: Although I believe that the digital music file will rule the day, vinyl still has a role to play and I'll get to that later.]
The most interesting part of this experiment [which at the time, I would argue it was] was not only that it was wildly successful but it laid the groundwork for what I have coined the end of the organizing principle. In other words I suggest that we are now seeing the end of the album-length work as the permenant work, the everlasting body of work that represents the pinnacle of an artists' creativity. I am fully expecting to hear the howls of derision over this but bear with me.

I visited Beaudry MotorSports in Post Falls, ID after getting a call that they had their first 800GS on-site. right after I got there, the new owner called, so it is gone by now. In fact, the next half dozen or so already have deposits on them. No idea when the next one will show up there.
First impressions is that the 800GS is a beautiful, but very tall bike. The one I saw was gray with black frame, engine, etc., very impressive. Two cylinder engine, dual front brakes, beautiful design. One of the pics shows Mike Kassarjian, one of the sales reps, standing behind the bike. I am guessing he is around 5'10" or so. It looks like his crotch is an inch or two below the seat. The bike is running on a set of Bridgestone tires.
I also have a couple pics of a new 650 X Country. they just got two in stock. Think the cost is $8,500 each. The X Countrys come with Metzler Sahara's front and back. Mike told me that they have an auto lowering device than dropped the bike and inch or so. When he first got on the X, just the balls of his feet were on the ground. When it was lowered, he had almost full-foot contact.
A guy came in with a KTM 990 Dual Sport (?) that I checked out. Believe he said he traded his Adventure in for it. Is it just me, or are the KTM 950/990 Adventures' seats a bit lower to the ground than the BMWs? They feel a lot different in the saddle too.
I'd like to get these pics up so that some of you KTM 650 Adventure or 650GS or Dakar owners would put your bikes up for sale. You get a new ride, and I try to locate a ride around here in the Spokane, WA area.:evil

Also: To sell a Dakar to get a 800 GS would be stupid IMHO.
Thanaks for help.
Personally, I would agree with your feelings about selling the Dakar for an 800GS. But, I have talked to a couple folks that are contemplating just that or something similar. In fact, one is advertising a Dakar on this site right now.
one more thing
800gs belongs in BEASTS not GSPOT
WELCOME TO ADVRIDER:freaky
A couple quick pics of the F800GS

don't have too much time at the moment. Will just add two quick and small pics to the site for now.
Here is #1.
Last pic for now

Here is #2. The guy in the pic is probably under 5'10". So you will get an idea of how tall the seat on the bike is.
Moved it to Beasts. Congrats! :thumb
Yeller is better... :deal (even if the ugly-as-sin "GS" needs to come off the side)
Yes, Yellow is great!
Well, now I feel a little stupid. Thought I was helping out trying to get the first pics of the F800GS in the Spokane area up here. Put it in the Gspot (thinking what is the "GS" in F800GS for?), but then told it belongs here in Beasts instead. I shoulda looked into this area first.
Oh well, I tried. :cry
BTW, now that I'm here in the right spot, I do agree, the Yeller is better!
i still have my dakar, and i got an 800. i think that the dakar will be nothing more thana memory before too long though.
ps. i love the 800
They look absolutely fantastic in person don't they? Much better than the pics.
Looks like a real dirtworthy ADV bike with those Battlewings and NO skidplate.:lol3
The exposed exhaust pipes are a new BMW safety feature. Once you bash them up you can't go any further down that gnarly trail, thereby protecting you and the bike from more serious damage.
GS decal gone

The GS with out the GS decal
Like the GS lettering
My personal preference would be to leave the GS lettering on. But then it's not my bike! :rofl

I recently changed from a theme I had paid for, but disliked because I couldn't customize it. I am currently using the Twenty Eleven theme. I added the Styles plug in so I could customize more features and now I love everything about this theme EXCEPT that I can't find a way to make the sidebar show up on individual posts! This is a huge problem because I don't feel my readers/customers will want to go back to the home page every time to access Archives, Categories, buttons for catalogs, shop online button, search box, etc.
My blog is at http://peaceloveandjoyce.com
Is there a way to force the Twenty Eleven theme to show the side bar on all pages? If not, could you recommend a theme that would have the same crisp, clean look that can be customized and that allows the sidebar to show up on every page?
Thank you so much for your assistance.
Peace, Love & Joy,

Coming Soon: Aqua Teen's 100th Episode!
While it's unlikely Muhammad will be making an appearance (although not outside the realm of possibility given the surreal nature of the show), one has to wonder how the creators will celebrate this landmark occasion, particularly when the show has been on the verge of cancellation at least twice (with two "final" episodes aired: 'The Last One' and the live action 'Last Last One Forever and Ever').
A rather awesome video press release was created by Adult Swim for the occasion. It's available after the jump. What would you like to see in 'Aqua Teen Hunger Force's' 100th episode?
Adult Swim lets you build your own DVD online
Adult Swim fans can now go online and create a disc full of their favorite episodes from the channel's top shows with the Build Your Custom DVD tool.
For $20, you get 110 minutes worth of space to build a DVD. You can choose any of the available episodes from such series as Venture Brothers (right), Aqua Teen Hunger Force and Sealab 2021. After arranging them in your preferred order, you give your DVD a name, description and cover art before paying for it and burning your unique creation.
Animation news: a look at the Aqua Teen Movie DVD, G.I. Joe flick gets a writer, and more
As I said when Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film for Theaters was released in April, the film is essentially review proof, which is why I loved it and a lot of critics hated it. I was drawn to the series since it first appeared in 2000, because it fed my love for the absurd and nonsensical. Quite honestly, if the feature film had been a critical favorite I might have considered that a failure in many ways. Aqua Teen Hunger Force gained popularity precisely because it was a weird little show buried in the late night schedule of Cartoon Network, a diamond in the rough fans had to discover on their own. Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film for Theaters, and the aptly titled Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film for Theaters for DVD are for those who are already in on the joke . . . or really high.
Animation news: John K, Aqua Teen movie and a Dethklok tour - VIDEO
Here's some cool animation news from the past week or so:
First, if you dig the heavy metal sounds of Dethklok, the brutal (but rather stupid) band from the Adult Swim series Metalocalypse, you'll be happy to know the band is doing a tour of some college campuses, according to Toon Zone and Adult Swim HQ. I'll keep you posted as more information becomes available. Other yet-to-be-announced bands will also be touring to promote Adult Swim.
Aqua Teen movie screened in Atlanta
Aqua Teen movie in February (I guess)
So there I was poking around this blog when I came across this post I did back in April where I relayed the news to all of you that the Aqua Teen Hunger Force movie would be out in September. 'Wait a second,' thought I, 'we're already halfway through September and I haven't heard or seen anything about this movie at all.' I had to do a lot of digging, because Adult Swim makes it nearly impossible to find any information on their shows, but I finally found this posting on the AS messageboards from BrandMerrill, who I think might be Andy Merrill, who provides the voice of Oglethorpe on the series, and apparently in the movie, too. Anyway, he's listed as a "Swim Insider" so let's assume this missive he left is true:
The movie is actually almost done. I've seen part of it. The stuff I saw was really good. But the people who distribute movies said we should put it out in February, so since they do movies all the time and we do not, we are going to listen to them.
So there you go, the movie will be out in February, or so I shall assume. Oh yeah, and if this was mentioned on any of the bumps during the AS block you'll have to forgive me. Since I watch everything on Tivo I tend to skip over those.
The Venture Bros: Fallen Arches
Adult Swim adds a few shows to iTunes
Do you enjoy Adult Swim programming but wish you could watch it on a much smaller screen that you hold in your hand? Well, you just got your wish because Adult Swim has added three shows to the iTunes store. Now you can watch episodes of Aqua Teen Hunger Force, The Venture Bros., and Sealab 2021 on your video iPod or on your computer screen. I think Venture Bros. may suffer somewhat visually if viewed on a tiny screen, but shows like Aqua Teen and Sealab 2021 are just minimalist enough for that not to matter. Hopefully they'll add more shows in the furture. The episodes will cost the usual $1.99 per download.
Also, Cartoon Network has added episodes of Johnny Bravo and Squirrel Boy.

Customer Reviews of Epson Stylus NX420 All-in-One Color Inkjet Printer
Great value, great for home office use!!8/29/2010
Great value & great price. I needed a copy/scan/printer package for small projects at home and was really excited to find this product. Did not need a fax feature, so that is not factored into evaluation of this product. The wireless feature is great, and facilitates a lot of things when I am using my netbook. Photocopy mode is fast. Scan quality is great; however, since I use the wireless feature, the scans tend to be slow. Printing in draft mode is really, really fast (and saves ink). Overall, very happy with this purchase.
Consumes black ink fast !!8/24/2010
I just bought printer and printed less than 20 pages of average letter size documents with Word program and it has already consumed a little over half the black ink ! There is no option either like most other printers to use color cartidges for black document printing which is nice if you don't use color a whole lot. Nice option & makes use of color cartridges !! I have contacted EPSON and made my complaint. Otherwise, it has not given me any problems besides that so far..........BUT INK COST IS BIGGEST PrOBLEM IN ITSELF which affects value-performance and overall satisfaction !!!

From CraigsList I thought I had a used 2006 that was bought new in 2/06. He had an extended warrant to 2011 & some riding gear (that I don't need). Bike only had 150 miles on it. He wanted too much for it, $4000. The Kelly Blue Book & NADA Book show the retail is only between $3308 & $3380 for used 2006. I was going to offer him $3400 & maybe split what he paid for extended warranty (what do they cost) since it was transferable, he could keep he riding gear. Well I called him this morning & he said he was going to keep the bike. Maybe he will actually start to ride it now!
There is also a used 2006 with 2000 street mile at a dealership near by & they want $3350 for it, supposed to be in immaculate shape. Not a lot of used XT225s for sale in my area. I'll see what I can get a new one for & if that doesn't work out I'll try to work a deal on the used one. Some how I'm going to get an XT225 Serow.

Awesome! If you are eager to add an overhead, you might be persuaded to look into http://www.w3.org/TR/DOM-Level-2-Events/events.html#Events-EventListener which allows an object instead of a function to pass as event handler. I find this a lot more maintainable, though not easily emulated in IE.
It wouldn't take much to add removeEventListener and polyfill target / currentTarget. Also, for IE<8 what if we used css expressions to do one-time check for addEventListener on an element?
Anyway, here's the concept: https://gist.github.com/2869388
That is highly original, to say the least. I can suggest mouseenter and mouseleave emulation for non-IE browsers to make this an all time favorite Gist :)
Hi! Check out my full DOM API implementation for IE < 8. It add support of [add/remove]EventListener, dispatchEvent and many other things to IE6,7,8 and w3c browsers. Short brief how it work in IE < 8 in wiki
I forgot giving a demo: this simple demo works in IE6+ as it work in w3c browser, and this more complex demo not working in IE6 due lack of CSS, but work well in IE7+
@masien In JS an assignment is an expression that returns the assigned value. So:
(x = 1) === 1 and
(x = 0) === 0
So writing
if (i = obj.length) { }
is just a shortcut for:
if (obj.length) { i = obj.length; }
@enyo – isn't it more like this?
i = obj.length;
if (i) { }
i will always be set, regardless of the value of
Ran into an issue with this and the current version of jQuery — since jQuery checks for "window.addEventListener" to determine the type of event system, this code seems to break it in IE8 (jQuery then assumes that removeEventListener is also present). The code in question that blew up:
function detach() {
if ( document.addEventListener ) {
document.removeEventListener( "DOMContentLoaded", completed, false );
window.removeEventListener( "load", completed, false );
} else {
document.detachEvent( "onreadystatechange", completed );
window.detachEvent( "onload", completed );
(To be clear, I'm not pointing out an issue with this code, just trying to save some future Googler the headache I just had! It's rare that you'd use both an addEventListener polyfill AND jQuery)
If you care about byte saving, there's an unnecessary
var keyword on line 8. Here it is updated: https://gist.github.com/Daniel-Hug/9221945
@Daniel-Hug: Yeah, that jumped out at me too. It's not just unnecessary, it's misleading. Fortunately, the order in which the various things are added to the environment record for the variable environment when entering function code is very clear in the spec and seems to be well-followed by implementations.
Can fn be empty? that make sense? While coding I found a "Object don´t accept this action" and checking the value show a fn = {}
I've updated the code.
This code supported
addEventListener & removeEventListener polyfill 1.1 - Qiita
Please rate.

Really great..at last a product that does what it says...dries fast no streaks and no smell..lovely colour as well..highly recommended.
tried and tested product as good as ever

Even though the liquid is very runner and you need the mitt to put it on, this makes it easier to apply and it really does dry in under 2 minutes. There is only a slight fake tan smell

Mexican friend calls me nina. What does that mean?
I tried looking up nina and got a bunch of different meanings. What does nina mean to a mexican/in spanish? Sorry for the ignorant question.
Most Helpful Opinion
nina-(neenya)/(nina)=girl or little girl
nino-(neenyo)/(nino)=boy or little boy
dont worry your question wasnt ignorant
i mean I was walking down my street this one
day and all these spanish men kept on calling me
gochina and they all stared and waved and smiled
at me and whistled. I thought it was a compliment and
waved back and interacted with them. until I went to
school and learned about "Bayos des Gochino)
which is also The Bay of Pigs. I was angry
but a few days later laughed it off.
anywhoo yeah sorry about my
little story. that is the def. of
your question.
Uhmmm... I'd say they weren't "spanish" men... cause "gochina" in spanish is not a word, its probably portuguese...
What Guys Said 2
What Girls Said 7
I couldn't help but answer this even though it was asked forever ago. Especially if it's a romantic friend or a friend who is protective over you maybe, it's possible he's called you Nena (Nay-Nuh), which is like saying Baby - not like an infant but it's an affectionate term rather than "niña" which is more like saying 'hey girl.' The other answers are probably what you were looking for but thought I might bring it up.
Have an opinion?

Maui Bistro aims to capture the 'aloha' spirit
Owners of seven North County Chin's restaurants, Chin and Jade Tsai's latest venture is a departure from their other Chinese ones. Opened in mid-March, Maui Bistro in San Marcos' Restaurant Row does not feature Szechwan and Mandarin dishes, but Pacific fusion cuisine.
A civil engineer originally from Taiwan, Tsai moved to Hawaii in 1976, where he attended school to learn English before opening his first restaurant, a Mongolian barbecue in Honolulu. Though his first venture into the restaurant business was an unmitigated failure, he said, he learned he needed to learn more. "I lost everything," he admitted.
Always thinking about food, though, and constantly jotting ideas on a tiny notepad he kept in his pocket, Tsai worked in restaurants in San Francisco, Vancouver and Seattle before finally investing again in his next venture, a restaurant in Santa Monica where, he said, he tripled the business in six months.
Moving on, he opened a Vista restaurant, China Szechwan, but walked away from it after two years, he said, when he didn't see eye to eye with his partner. He opened the first Chin's in Carlsbad in 1984. "It is still there. I still own it and it is still doing great," Tsai said, adding that only a year later, he "started to build his empire." Now he has a total of nine Chin restaurants (not including his new Maui Bistro), five of which are in North County, plus two more in Hawaii.
Fueled by the success of his two Hawaiian restaurants, Chin said, he is coming full circle, bringing a bit of Hawaii to San Marcos. "I just feel that Hawaii is so beautiful of a place, that I want to bring it here and share the paradise with the people," he said. "It is more like Pacific fusion than Polynesian cuisine."
The bistro does have some teriyaki dishes and ahi tuna sashimi, which is called poke in Hawaii, featuring cubed fresh, raw ahi marinated with green onions, soy sauce, chile, sesame oil and sesame seeds. "I'm not trying to make money on the food," said Tsai, pointing to the eight ounces of fresh tuna for $8. He added, "The orange leaf for decoration is from my garden."
Salads include the Maui Charbroiled Chicken Salad (a chicken breast with romaine lettuce, apples, cranberries and walnuts with balsamic vinaigrette) for $8 and the Linko Tomato Salad for $7, as well as seafood and tuna salads.
The lunch menu is extensive, with 16 entrees from a grilled burger ($7.50) to grilled salmon with sesame rice ($10) or O'hana Duck Wraps served with mixed greens ($8).
For dinner, besides chicken, fish or lamb, diners can choose from lobster tail ($24), braised duck leg ($15), king crab legs ($19), the popular Kahana Jumbo Prawns ($18) or the Hana Jumbo Scallops ($16).
Dinner and lunch menus include Tsai's favorite curries -- a Mala Seafood Curry with lobster, prawns and scallops for dinner ($15) and for lunch, the Liliha Curry Rice Plate (beef, chicken or shrimp) for $7.50.

99% of the time, no exageration, my ex calls very last minute with excuse to either not be able to pick kids up to spend time with them, or will be later than expected. There's always an excuse, ALWAYS. He just called 5 minutes ago to say that he's coming 'around' 1 hour later than planned, because of work. I also work full time and still manage to keep appointments, and find his excuses very irritating. OR he'll show up unannounced, when NOT planned (last Wed. he was too hung over, Friday morning showed up unannounced, went to party on Sat instead of having kids, didn't have them another night to make up for it, will be late today, won't have them next Saturday becuase he'll be out of town..) What the f is going on here? is this some kind of way to jerk me around?
yes, this is an excuse to jerk you around. The problem is that he's going to make the kids feel like they don't matter, in his attempts to make you feel like you don't matter. =/
I would start enforcing some boundaries with him asap. He'll either shape up or start flaking out on visits. The latter would have happened eventually anyway, if that's his path. The former may never happen if you don't start demanding some respect on behalf of yourself and your children, though. You have a set visitation schedule, right? So, that's your schedule. He needs to give 48 hours notice of any changes. Period. Feel free to accommodate his requests as long as he gives notice. Even if you *can* accommodate him in less time, though, I would stop doing so. It encourages him to believe he has the ability and authority to control you. That will get worse as time goes on, not better. Also, explain to him that he has a 15 or 30 minute window to pick up the kids. The local "norm" for this window varies. Most seem to give 30 minutes, though, even where the courts expect 15. Explain it ONCE, via email if he emails, then stop playing along with his games. Don't argue. Don't explain. Don't bargain. Half an hour after pick up time, be somewhere else with the kids. Go to the park, or pop out to the store to pick a few things up. Preferably, plan outings for the first few times you will be setting your boundary. It will make the whole transition smoother for you if you are totally inaccessible for a few hours. Once you've sent the message, you can start turning him away at the door when he shows up unexpected or dramatically late.
The only other options I see are to change your attitude and stop minding when he treats you and the kids like doormats....or continue to be frustrated but not do anything to change the situation.

I have a claus ex has to pay for a sitter if he doesn't take his time. My suggestion is you drop the kids off at his place and make it known you are not available until the fixed time at the end of his parenting time, when he can drop the kids off with you. He needs to be shown he can not treat the kids as optional entertainment when he has nothing better to do. If he is more than 30 minutes late then he misses all of that parenting time. If he consistantly misses parenting time then tell him you are returning to court to have the hours decreased and child support increased.
Agreed... boundaries are in order. Set them and stick to them and things will change for you and your kiddos, even if he doesn't. It works for parenting teenagers too from what I hear.
I made me and my kids 'scarce' after last delay, which resulted in XH switching his phone off until next day. When he was available agian I made my boundaries known, which obviously ended up in a huge argument, in which he conculded that he'll have the kids on his day only (Saturday evening-Sunday noon), which is fine, but then he also said WHEN HE ISN'T AVAILABLE, HE'LL SKIP SATURDAYS. In the same conversation he said that if the kids are too much trouble for me he'd do a much better job than me at raising them on his own than I do...this guy is all over the place. There is no reasoning with him. So all I can do is yes, set my boundaries and let him reel all over the place.
Good job, mama! I know it was rough dealing with his tantrum. He may or may not turn out to be the guy that blows off his kids or gets his act together. That was just a tantrum, after all. Once my xh realized I was going to stick tight to the visitation schedule, he dropped to seeing the kids once every 6 - 8 weeks. That was about how often his family would ask about them. He'd claim he was seeing them all the time, and promise to take pictures at the next visit...so, he'd actually show up for a visit to get some pics, then drop them back off after maybe an hour. That was until he started dating someone seriously and wanted to show what a great dad he was. Then he used max time until they were married...at which point, she would sometimes contact me so the kids could spend time with her son, but xh would always go to a friend's house to escape. *eyeroll*

Studies have shown that 40-60 percent of the predisposition to addiction can be attributed to genetics.
This is not just the risk conveyed by genes themselves, but also the added impact of the environment on how those genes function or are expressed. Taking drugs is, of course, a necessary environmental risk factor for addiction, but so are exposures to stress and peers who use drugs. Growing knowledge about the dynamic interactions of genes with the environment and developmental stage confirms addiction as a complex and chronic disease of the brain with many contributors to its expression in individuals.
