This week has been relatively quiet on the #FAIL front – most of the controversy on Twitter has been taken up by one spectacular Marketing #WIN – namely, the controversy Jeremy Clarkson managed to create with his comments about striking workers and how they should be shot.
Why is that a marketing #WIN I hear you ask? Well, because of these little items – all released within the last month, and all seeing improved sales thanks to Clarkson's comments…!
Anyway, on to the more fun stuff – the FAILs!
Dropped like a rotten Apple
Former Apple employee Samuel Crisp (plenty of scope for puns there – Apple… Crisp… Sure we could get a bacon in there too?) got himself fired this week after some of his comments on Facebook didn't go down well with his managers. Apparently he posted the following on his status (relating to his iPhone), which a sneaky colleague then reported to the store's management:
'F***ed up my time zone for the third time in a week and woke me up at 3am? JOY!!'
I don't know about you, but that seems a little harsh to us – particularly as he doesn't even SAY it was on his iPhone explicitly. I guess Apple don't like their image being besmirched, even a tiny weeny bit… by a chap in Norwich!
"I'm afraid I can't do that, Dave…"
Sticking with Apple, their revolutionary "personal assistant" app, 'Siri' received a lot of flack this week for being a little too morally ambiguous.
According to reports, you can happily use Siri to locate your nearest gun shooting range, find out where to buy viagara and even your nearest prostitute. But ask Siri where to find your nearest abortion clinic and you might find yourself redirected to an anti-abortion religious group's website….
Apple have shrugged off the claims, explaining that Siri's seemingly flip-flopping morals are simply down to the app being "in Beta" – that old chestnut…! They've clearly been learning off Google…
Occupy Jay-Z's bank account!
Jay-Z got himself in some hot water recently, when he produced a t-shirt featuring a slogan which some people claim was cashing-in on the #Occupy movements.
The "Occupy All Streets" t-shirts that the rap mogul produced were taken down quite quickly after they went on sale – leaving several news organisations to speculate that complaints were made by the #OccupyWallStreet protesters – but it turns out that the only reason they got taken down was because they sold out, leaving Jay-Z to feel suitable smug.
But, if the Facebook comments below the item are anything to go by, the backlash isn't over yet – this one looks set to run and run…Tweet

Back-to-back, fourth quarter heroics from a pair of gutsy QB's lead to Super Bowl victories. The debates between the faithful rage on, but there's already a clear cut winner .
On trails blazed years ago by the original "Comeback Kid" Joe Montana, and paved by a more recent legend in Tom Brady, two members of the NFL draft class of 2004 have shown that the art of the comeback is alive and well in postseason play. For now, we can bask in the glory of pure, unadulterated determination - and wave goodbye to the perpetual lopsidedness of a game that for all intents and purposes had become more of a footnote than a meaningful event. It's a sad thing when someone loses passion for what was once a favorite holiday like Christmas, or gives up hope on an old friend. Scores like 55-10 and 52-17 can ruin the magic of the Super Bowl for even the most ardent of us. That's why it's a blessing as NFL fans to be able to say that the best game of the season was the last game of the season, because it doesn't happen often enough.
What made these last two championships so special were the aforementioned pair of quarterbacks drafted in the first round on April 24th of '04. Quite possibly shaping up to be the best QB draft class since the Marino/Elway/Kelly threesome of 1983, Ben Roethlisberger, Eli Manning and Phillip Rivers are proving that all three teams that got them would have been in great shape no matter who they ended up with. But while hearty debates amongst fans of these teams involve all three players, anyone who dives into the deep end of the community pool here at CBS Sports knows that there's only one with legs; one that has been raging on for years that has a life all it's own. When you hear somebody say the name "Elvis", you know exactly who they're talking about. And three little words tell you everything you'd need to know about this ongoing deliberation... Ben versus Eli.
Teams have rivalries, and fans have rivalries. It's part of the game, and it rests on multiple levels that range from benign dislike to malignant hatred. There's usually a deep-rooted history between sides when you talk about true rivalry - with tales of historic battles, euphoric moments of victory and crushing blows to the spirit - all which feeds the beast that grows as the years pass. When it comes to "Ben vs. Eli", the beast is fed only by fandom's blind endorsement of it's own. It's safe to say that Eli Manning and Ben Roethlisberger have little interest in our quest to prove which of them is "better".
We can talk about their stats, which favor Ben. We can talk about their championships, which after this past Sunday also favors Ben. We can talk about endurance (Eli's strong suit) and toughness (which appears to be Ben's). We can talk about decision making and pocket awareness which at times is a strength and a weakness for both men. If you want to look at the ability to read a defense and change up a play at the line for positive results, Manning's the guy. And when it's all said and done there's no way to rationally resolve any of it, because there's no way to know how Ben would have been as a Giant (which would have been a reality had the Chargers not agreed to trade Eli for Philip Rivers, which is the sole reason the Giants selected him) or how Manning would have performed as a Charger. Different teams and circumstances - don't even attempt to make projections.
There is one undeniable fact; that both Ben and Eli have shown a penchant for cutting their teams loose from the grasp of defeat and finding new and electrifying ways to march them seemingly infinite distances to refuge. The Oasis. In the words of Jonathan Winters in It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World - "The big dubble-yuh I tell ya... it's the big dubble-yuh!!". They can frustrate you and make you stand on your seat in the same possession, let alone the same game. They can go stretches of games that make you wonder where their heads are at, and they can be on fire for weeks - invincible. Neither of them have a Jerry Rice to throw to, or an Emmitt Smith to hand off to. Both have had to deal with questionable play calling from their respective offensive coordinators, and both have had the pleasure of working with solid running games (when healthy) and terrific defenses.
Without being given a chance in hell and without the greater NFL community's expectations draped over his shoulder, Eli was able to enginner two touchdown drives in the fourth quarter of Super Bowl XLII - the second with a beautiful touch pass on a fade pattern with 35 seconds remaining. As everyone with a microphone or computer keyboard put it, he'd "grown up right before our eyes". He became the mount Everest of poise, maturity and leadership - compared to his brother and other greats in the game's history, not so much for his stats but for his guts. Forever the toast of New York, regardless of what the future holds for him.
With expectations of completing the Lombardi trophy six-pack and unfairly qualified as facing "a 9-7 team from a weak division", Ben was able to engineer a 78-yard drive and complete six of eight passes in 2 minutes to put his team ahead with only 42 ticks remaining on the game clock. Everyone will talk about Santonio Holmes' amazing catch and his ability to get both feet down, and they should. But Ben put the ball exactly where it had to be - where no one else but Holmes could grab it. Ben has quickly built himself a reputation and statistical resume that rivals the biggest names in the game during their first five years in the league. Forever the toast of Pittsburgh, regardless of what the future holds for him.
What is more impressive? Overcoming the pressure of fighting the school bully - who everyone thinks will kick your ass in the blink of an eye - by landing the blow that coldcocks him and proves you can fight with the best of them? Or nearly losing a fight you should win against a weaker kid, but having the tenacity under pressure to overcome a surprising shot to the gut that would have sent most others running with their tails between their legs?
So who wins? The answer's simple.
We do.

What's Wrong With The New IMacs?
The new iMacs include a faster processor, better graphics, and improved storage. But there's still no sign of that retina display.
Less than a year after it refreshed its iMac line of desktops with a new, thin design, Apple has updated it yet again, this time, with more power under the hood. Like the Macbook Airs that launched in June, the iMacs now include fourth generation Intel Haswell processors, which should mean a significant improvement in graphics performance. The flipside? There's still no sign of that retina display, something customers have long been clamoring for.
Here's a quick rundown of the key changes:
Processor and graphics: 4th generation 2.7 GHz quad-core Intel Core i5 processor and integrated Iris Pro graphics on the entry level 21.5-inch model. The high-end 21.5-inch and 27-inch models feature processors up to 3.4 GHz and NVIDIA GeForce 700 series graphics with twice the video memory and up to 40% faster performance than the older iMacs.
Wi-Fi: The iMacs finally support 802.11ac Wi-Fi that is three times faster than the previous generation when connected to an 802.11ac base station.
Storage: Thanks to support for PCIe-based flash, both the Fusion Drive and flash storage options are now up to 50% faster than the last generation models.
The new machines are now available on Apple's website, in retail stores, and through Apple-authorized resellers. Pricing remains unchanged (between $1,299 and $1,999 depending on the configuration).

"There's still no sign of that retina display, something customers have long been clamoring for."
Apple will include Retina when the component price allows the company to maintain the price point and the margin, both.
Study the game tape. This is how Apple does business.
Apple iMac displays are still a cut above any typical HD monitor. Retina or not, they are amazing.
I'm quite certain that a Retina display at 21.5 or 27 inches in diameter is impossible at the moment. Possible, but un-affordable, I should say.
For the iMac market currently, you're right. But I wouldn't be surprised if Apple released a 4K retina display for the new Mac Pro later this year.
Me either, and I'm hopeful they do. But we need Haswell MacBook Pros first.
I always thought that a retina display had benefits if you were using a screen close to your eyes, but that it didn't really made sense on a desktop where you are supposed to sit further from the screen.

I have to turn the fire under the rice down.

Yes, all of those are acceptable.

Donate Land
Donating land supports the Columbia Land Conservancy and can ensure the property is permanently protected with a conservation easement; this also preserves wildlife habitats and scenic views. Donating land to CLC generally provides landowners with tax benefits.
Land Donations
CLC evaluates the conservation value of the land in question and works with the landowner to determine the best use. Donated land may have a conservation easement placed on it, it may be converted into a public conservation area, and/or all or part of it may be sold as a tradeland.
Remainder Interest Land Donation
A remainder interest donation is a land donation where the landowner retains life-use of the property. The donor may get immediate tax benefits and continue to live on the land throughout his or her lifetime.
Donating Land or Conservation Easements After Your Lifetime
A landowner can donate land or a conservation easement to CLC in his or her will. A person making such a bequest should work with CLC to make sure the project meets CLC's conservation criteria and that CLC will be able to accept it. In the case of a conservation easement, it is best to clarify the terms of the easement during the donor's lifetime in order to ensure that the easement accomplishes the donor's goals.
Tradelands are properties donated to the CLC to further our conservation and education work. These properties may or may not have significant conservation characteristics.

As devastating as their stunning 8-7 loss to the New York Mets on Tuesday night was, the Nationals still have 12 home games before the end of the season.

Listen: We are aware that it is still a million degrees out—and humid, too. But as the long-awaited September issues start showing up in mailboxes, it's almost impossible not to begin fantasizing about fab fall fashion. Though it's still way too early to deck yourself in leather and layer to your stylish heart's desire, there are some key tricks to making it feel like you're getting in on the fall fashion action while remaining weather-appropriate. Technique number one? An arsenal of pieces that lend your look that fall vibe via silhouette, detailing, or print but are lightweight and airy enough to don while the warmth is still waning. Read on for the five transitional items you'll want to add to your wardrobe ASAP.
The Cutout (or Lace-Up, or Peep-Toe) Bootie
Trade your barely there sandals for a bootie—the shape lends the illusion of fall, while cutout, lace-up, and peep-toe styles keep you cool. This swoonworthy take involves a two-toned palette, a trendy pointed toe, and stingray texturing. Rebecca Minkoff Derea bootie, $395 at Shopbop.
Also try: Schutz's camel leather lace-up ($195), Steven's sleek cutout booties ($139), or Paul Andrew Pegasus peep-toe booties ($1,045).
The Vest
It adds some fall-ready structure sans too much weight (or warmth). Pick one that features crisp tailoring or interesting texture, like this knit Zara version. Combined waistcoat with zip detailing, $89.90 at Zara.
Also try: Madewell's ivory tux vest ($138) or Gryphon's beaded-shoulder twill vest ($290)
Kelly Millspaugh Thompson has an eye for vintage. As the owner of the Falls Church furniture and decor shop Stylish Patina, she hunts down no-longer-loved old furniture and puts her magic spin on reworking each piece. The result? A collection of one-of-a-kind vintage finds sure to inspire instant home envy.
This weekend—after years of hosting monthly barn sales in Frederick—Thompson launches a new curated market in Falls Church that she's dubbed the Rough Luxe Marketplace. Expect a covetable mix of charming old finds, including rustic barn doors, elegant antique settees, raw pieces ready for a DIY, newly upholstered wing chairs, old books, vintage china, retro suitcases, refreshed tables, dresses, and other furnishings, and lots, lots more. This month features a Great Gatsby theme, spotlighting such glam '20s-esque motifs as gold accents, jet black furniture, and glittering chandeliers.
So now we've sold you on your weekend plans. Next step: How exactly does Thompson do it? We checked in with the vintage master for her expert tips on creating your own vintage-fab home. Read on for her secrets, then click through the gallery to get a sneak peek at some of the fab finds available at this weekend's market.
Perhaps you're heading to the shore this weekend. (Lucky you!) But even if you're sticking around the city for a little staycation, chances are good you'll be beaching it at some point this summer. Don't let packing stress keep you from beach-zone Zen. Follow our guide to making sure you have the essentials covered—throw in a good book and some SPF, and you're relaxation bound.
Searching for the elusive flattering swimsuit isn't exactly the stuff of shopping dreams. It's right up there with jean shopping and bra finding—which is to say discouraging and sometimes downright miserable. But it shouldn't have to be, right? There must be a better way.
That's why we called upon Karla Colletto. With more than 25 years of swimwear design experience under her belt, the Vienna-based designer—whose pieces are sold at such luxe retailers as Neiman Marcus, Bergdorf Goodman, and Net-a-Porter—creates inventive, sophisticated swimsuits that pair cutouts, futuristic fabrics, and whimsical detailing with top-level technical construction. Because you can't bring Colletto herself along on your next swimsuit shopping mission, we present the next best thing: her secrets to finding the perfect piece.
1) Look for exceptional customer service.
First things first. "Before you even get to the suit, you need to choose a store that has good customer service," Colletto says. "If they're knowledgable, they can really help you choose the most flattering style for your body type."
2) Focus on finding the correct fit.
What that doesn't mean is agonizing over the size on the tag. It's just not accurate. "I think women have to understand that the sizing for suits isn't always the same," says Colletto. "Keep an open mind and try different sizes. Each brand might run differently. It's best to not fret about the size itself but focus on how the suit fits you. And it should fit like a glove. There shouldn't be any bagging or straining. It should feel comfortable both lengthwise and around. And think about what kind of support you want to have in that fit. If you are large-busted, maybe you want to have an underwire to keep a nice body shape."
We're not going to tell you to buy a white tee and a pair of perfectly fitted skinny jeans, because: duh. Why is every "essentials" list stocked with boring basics you already have? We don't know, but we're here to remedy that: Here are the eight style musts to mix in for the ultimate so-right-now spring wardrobe. Get one of each, and give your style an instant upgrade. You're welcome.
1. A Sharp, Structured Jacket
This is a way chicer approach to battling overzealous AC than a ho-hum cardi. Look for a jacket with a sleek, futuristic silhouette—that means shoulder pads, some killer draping, and a slim-yet-sculpted shape.
Helmut Lang Sugar Combo jacket, $575 at Intermix.
2. A Chambray Shirt
Ok, this one isn't so new, exactly. But still, this is an über-versatile piece every style-savvy girl should have sitting in her closet. The laid-back workhorse pairs with everything from a pleated chiffon maxi skirt to sleek leather short-shorts. It's a must.
Perfect chambray ex-boyfriend shirt in Ferrous Wash, $69.50 at Madewell.
3. Leather Shorts
And speaking of leather shorts: Get yourself a pair. Wear them with everything, just like you would jean shorts. Lather, rinse, repeat.
Premium leather shorts, $130 at Topshop.
4. The Statement Collar Necklace
We love the dramatic punch of a major statement necklace, and the latest versions sit right at the collarbone for face-framing perfection. Mix yours with this year's florals and stripes for a modern take.
Dannijo Zinnia necklace, $612 at Shopbop.
This is basically Pinterest with discount alerts. You "hukk" items just like you pin them, and can organize them into lists (boards). The major perk, though, is that Hukkster will send you e-mail notifications when an item you've hukked gets discounted. The service doesn't work with smaller e-tailers, but it is on Target, Shopbop, Asos, Nordstrom, Macy's, J.Crew, Zappos, Anthropologie, Bloomie's, Gap, Banana Republic, Urban Outfitters, Saks Fifth Avenue, and Piperlime. Boom! Gone are the days of incessantly checking to see if that Rebecca Minkoff clutch you're getting your little sis has been knocked down a few dollars.
Got a guy who likes to cook? This Portland-based shop boasts what may be the manliest kitchen supplies we've seen. And the options don't end there—office supplies, personal accessories, and even home decor are all infused with a spare, no-nonsense aesthetic.

Hi Guys,
Willing to give this one a go, it's been a while since I played with C++ but who knows!
Can someone PM me a link to the SDK so I can take a shot? Hardware is on order so I should get it in a few days
Hi Shambler,
Unfortunately I don't know where to get the Realtek SDK..
I will fire up google, for helping out at least by finding it.
If anybody else knows where to get the SDK, It would be very nice to send it to Shambler who offered his help one post ago ;)
Greetings !
I've sent an email to Realtek asking if they can help us and provide some code examples. If I get a response I'll also ask about whether they're happy for it to be posted online as there seem to be a few of us interested in getting something working. My hardware is hopefully coming for the weekend so I'll cross my fingers that Realtek are relatively forthcoming.
I've emailed them as well around a week ago, still waiting to hear back.
*crossingfingers* ^^
Have been reading this thread with interest as I have an EZcap usb dongle which uses the realtek 2832u chipset.
The unit is shipped with Presto PVR and Blaze I have not spent much time with Blaze but Presto plays DAB very well but reports that the dongle is not connected or ready in FM mode and windows media centre plays DVB-T ok but strangely fails to recognise the unit when it comes to radio period.
Using the Realtek players posted on this thread the FM one works fine but because the DAB version does not have a UK area option I cannot test with this.
It is a real shame that I have to use 3 pieces of software to get all the facilities out of the unit although in all honestly I would probably be happy with just FM with DAB as a bonus extra.
I have to admit I am completely out of my depth when it comes to anything like programming but as noted above the Realtek FM tuner works for me albeit without the niceties of presets, memory and a nicer skin so I want to ask a question the answer to which is probably obvious to many but is it possible to re-skin this app and then use it as a plugin for RR ?
The Blaze software actually works really well, I've been playing with it for a little while.
It can be skinned, but there are no other skins already out there and the details in the skin file are a little hard to get your head around (for me anyway).
Someone could skin it for RR - just making the buttons larger for a start would make it a LOT easier to use in the car.
Unfortunately I'm still waiting for the Realtek guys to get back to me, and my CarPC screen just died so I can't test in-car.

At least mine is.There's a little cute virus that brings my computer down twice a month and I can't let go of it.A lot of music was lost in my external hard during a very complicated procedure,called "Cut the file from here - Paste it there".Yeah, 4 gigabytes were simply lost...I found them somehow.Guess what?Windows disk check?Didn't work.Recovery program? Didn't work....I searched the file name and it was found!In an inaccessible folder(H:\found.000\dir.chk 0_0) I can't remember all of the stuff,but the My Chemical Romance album as well as,Iced Earth,Placebo,and Within Temptation albums are enough for a living But I'll use the old good cassette player,and use enormous encyclopedias,and leave this computer for visiting CHU :P ...before I go crazy.
You noticed Degari's blog? Yeah,I'm not dead either What am I gonna write about?-Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands!A personal insult to me.The first disappointment was the intro movie! Yeah,the king was named "Malik".It's an Arabic name,nimrods in Ubisoft! I'm generally okay with Arabs,but when someone mistakes Arabs with Persians,I get PO'ed.Like "I'm Aryan,not Arab! Like THE GREAT ADOLF HITLER DAMMIT!" ...sorry for the racist comment!And,the second one was all those great things from POP3 which are really missed over here,one of them was the only reason I liked to play POP3-And it was the ability to stealth....I'm done for today.Come back later for more preaching
I've become like,"hi CHU"-no activity for six months-'hi CHU-repeat...lol.Well,I'm not gaming much.Spending my time on music and chatting with random people,and writing and drawing and a little bit reading(I'm reading? WTH?!).Pretty better than gaming,at least more benefitical.There's no feeling of emptiness after finishing a game after finishing a song or a drawing...btw,I kinda miss some people in this place.And I miss blogging here....Get ready for the hail of my blogs!
I opened the CHU main page,there was a wallpaper for "Gray Matter"but I misread it as "gay master"
..I seriously miss this place.I have been hanging around rock music and school stuff more than games for a while but now I'm back to hardcore 11am-3:30am gaming and internet and also a LOT of rock/metal stuff,I'm a metalhead junkie after all lol.let's skip the autobiographical crap and get to gaming!Postal 2 rulez! the most violent/gory/funny game ever! Worse-than-bad graphics but who cares? It's damn fun.and also if you play Battlefield Heroes,comment here! I've begun playing it and,in my opinion,it's seriously better than the games you have to pay for.

"My Mistakes"
In my spare time, I watch According to Jim. In Eleanor Friedberger's spare time, she records a full-length album. INDEED: On July 12, Friedberger is temporarily breaking away from The Fiery Furnaces (like her sibling Matthew) to release Last Summer. Her solo debut will be released July 12. Expect a supporting tour, too.

John Maus
Watch the video for the closing track from John Maus' upcoming We Must Become The Pitiless Censors Of Ourselves. I've got to say, there is something sad and beautiful about this combination of sound and visual, the way that so many elements – Maus' affected voice, psychedelic digital color manipulation, the tiny drum machine, manic synth lines – all fail to obscure how soaring of a pop song "Believer" is.

I just moved a lot of threads that were about audio only, were about computer hardware (perhaps we should have a place for that?), or otherwise had no relation to A/V away from page 1 of this subforum (I darent look beyond there!). Not only do such topics go against the description of the subforum, but youre hindering yourself by posting in a location that seems to receive considerably less traffic. So, for everyones sake, please consider whether your thread is actually related to audio and videoor at least video!and post it in a more fitting location if it is not. Thanks!

Whether it's the debt ceiling crisis or a personal budget issue, you have some options if you're worried about being able to pay your bills.
At this writing, politicians were still battling over what to do about the looming Aug. 2 deadline to raise the federal limit on how much the government can borrow. It was unclear what might happen to military pay and benefits if the limit isn't raised.
Military and retired pay will reach recipients by Aug. 1, before the government would default. And if the worst does happen, the default would have to last almost two weeks before it would affect military pay, for Aug. 15 paychecks.
In the meantime, it doesn't hurt to check with your bank or credit union for any special provisions to help you get through any pay delays perhaps a no-interest loan, or low-interest loan.
Randolph-Brooks Federal Credit Union, for example, will provide its members with a one-time "provisional credit" of their direct-deposit paycheck or benefits check, if they are government employees or benefit-payment recipients. There would be no interest or fees on the provisional credit.
Other tips:
A number of military-affiliated banks and credit unions offer small loans at reasonable interest rates that can help you get through a tough spot.
If your paycheck stops and you have trouble making a payment on your mortgage or other loan, contact your lender immediately to see whether loan officers are willing to work with the many people in this unusual situation.
If you're having trouble paying for necessities such as food or gas, contact your military relief society, which has offices on military installations. Visit the following websites for contact information: http://www.aerhq.org">Army Emergency Relief; http://www.afas.org">Air Force Aid Society; http://www.nmcrs.org">Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society; and http://www.cgmahq.org">Coast Guard Mutual Assistance.
While the relief societies aren't able to "backfill" the entire military payroll, they can help with quick loans for emergency necessities on a case-by-case basis.
Retired Army Col. Andy Cohen, deputy director for finance and treasurer for Army Emergency Relief, said AER is dusting off contingency plans to expedite help for those who need it for emergencies, similar to the preparations made in April when a possible government shutdown threatened to interrupt government pay.
These scares bring home the wisdom of trying to put aside some money for a rainy day, even if it's a few dollars from each paycheck.
Yes, the military owes you that paycheck. And no, it's not fair when bad things happen like when cars and washing machines break down at the same time.
Sometimes things happen that are out of your control. Sacrifice a few things you don't need in the short term such as that candy bar every other day or the $3.50 coffee. In the long run, you'll have so much less stress knowing you've got a stash of cash in the bank equal to a month or two of expenses.
It's even better to work toward stockpiling at least three to six months of expenses in an emergency fund. But even if you can't build a cushion like that fairly quickly, there is peace of mind in knowing about some backup options.

Figure 5.
Proposed signaling interactions between CNP and mechanical signals in chondrocytes. C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP) binding to the natriuretic peptide receptor-B (NPR-B) activates the extracellular domain of guanylyl cyclase B (GC-B), leading to increased levels of 3,5'-cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP). The accumulation of cGMP levels modulates the downstream activities of cGMP-dependent protein kinases (PKGI and II), cGMP-regulated ion channels (CGi), and cGMP-regulated phosphodiesterase (PDE) subtypes. PKGII mediates matrix synthesis augmented by mechanical signals that influence CGi ion channels. However, the cGMP pathways are likely to crosstalk with the catabolic pathways because of elevated levels of nitric oxide (NO) induced by interleukin-1β (IL-1β). More specifically, NO binds to the heme-containing soluble protein, guanylyl cyclase (sGC), and stimulates cGMP levels, which contribute to the production of PKGI or PDE subtypes, leading to matrix breakdown.

If GM collapses, it could be a good thing for some companies, states and workers.
Very interesting article in Forbes:
My opposing viewpoint: An end to GM would not be the end of the world. We are not going to have to walk to work. Other manufacturers will build our cars and trucks. In fact, business will grow for the other carmakers.
Alabama, Kentucky, Tennessee, South Carolina and Mississippi–and Georgia to come–are the states where foreign companies make their homes. These companies would probably be expanding and building new plants as fast as they could gather up land and excavators. Keep in mind, too, that when auto sales get off that 12 million bottom and return to a more normal 16 or 17 million units a year, manufactures will need to produce an additional 4 or 5 million vehicles.
Whatever happens, we are going to have cars and trucks in America. They may build more of them somewhere else. When I was a boy, there were shoe plants in Massachusetts and car plants in New Jersey. Guess what? Both states are still with us–and we all have shoes.

Runs on Dunkin.
Just weeks ago, a formidable Senate coalition appeared ready to pounce on patent-reform legislation, providing a rare spot of bipartisanship in an otherwise gridlocked Senate.
But on Tuesday, it became clear that that cohesion is cracking.
The Senate Judiciary Committee announced it would delay its planned consideration of a patent-litigation bill until at least Thursday — the third such delay in two weeks.
And as the delays extend, the cross-aisle rhetoric is losing that loving feeling of the recent past. Sen. Patrick Leahy, the Vermont Democrat who chairs the Judiciary panel, accused committee Republicans of failing to provide "constructive feedback" on a proposed compromise measure from Democrat Chuck Schumer of New York.
Sen. John Cornyn — a Texas Republican at the forefront of his party's pro-patent-reform bloc — shot back, saying that negotiations have "developed into a fight between Senate Democrats."
"Senator Leahy may have given up, but I am happy to keep discussing this bill with the White House and a majority of House Democrats, including [Minority Leader] Nancy Pelosi," Cornyn said. "One question I have is if Senator Leahy has secured a commitment from Senator Reid to bring his bill to the floor. Clearly he has the votes; does he have the commitment?"
Dividing the two parties is a "fee-shifting" provision that would require the loser to pay the winner's legal fees in a patent-infringement case where the lawsuit is deemed to lack merit. Supporters, including Cornyn and fellow Republican Sen. Orrin Hatch, say the measure is crucial to reducing abusive patent trolling — when companies buy cheap patents and profit from them by threatening infringement suits against others in hopes of settling.
But Schumer's proposal lacked the fee-shifting teeth Republicans want, sources say. And it's unclear how — or if — a consensus can be forged.
Weeks ago, these differences seemed eminently amendable. The committee claimed their slow approach reflected careful crafting of compromise, not fighting. And at the time, both Democrats and Republicans were lauding Leahy for being "wise" and delaying patent-reform consideration as negotiations were ongoing.
Now, the stakeholders in the patent-reform debate can't even agree on how well negotiations are going.
One source close to the negotiations said Leahy's finger-pointing could suggest he feels hopes for a deal are unraveling, and wants to position Republicans for the blame if reform efforts come completely undone.
But reform advocates quickly tried to downplay the roadblocks, saying the tension is temporary and predicting the senators would reconcile their differences.
"The reports out there that are doom and gloom do not jive with how staffers working on the issue feel," said Tim Sparapani, vice president of government relations for the App Developers Alliance. "Not reaching a solution is not palatable to the members or their staff — we're going to get something worked out."
Sparapani added that only those who don't want any patent reform passed — including entities that claim they only oppose one specific provision — are suggesting the sky is falling on negotiations entirely.
Whatever the case, lobbying for and against patent reform has spiked considerably over the past week, as a daunting and diverse swath of business interests including tech, universities, trial lawyers, and retailers have launched final pushes to keep their favored provisions from getting axed — or ensure certain measures don't see the light of day.
The House quickly passed patent reform late last year, as Judiciary Chairman Bob Goodlatte quickly muscled his Innovation Act through committee before earning a sweeping bipartisan victory when it came up for a vote on the House floor.

LAS VEGAS (AP) — An investigation continues into the death of a toddler who was struck by a vehicle outside the Las Vegas trailer park where her family lives.
The Clark County coroner's office on Saturday identified the victim as 22-month-old Clara Stephanie Castrejon-Jimenez.
Neighbor Alan Delgado told KSNV-TV there was a disagreement between adults in the home and the child's mother took off in her car.
He says the girl apparently was hit by the vehicle Thursday night after she left the home and followed her mother.
She was pronounced dead at the scene.
Police say the driver remained at the scene and alcohol does not appear to be a factor in the 9:30 p.m. accident.
Child Protective Service is investigating the case and assisting police.

Chris Hemsworth
Chris Hemsworth in AG Adriano Goldschmied Matchbox Jeans in Sulfur
Chris Hemsworth and his wife were snapped while grabbing some lunch in Malibu, California a few days ago. They have always looked like such a great couple!
Chris wore a pair of AG Adriano Goldschmied The Matchbox jeans in Sulfur Double Indigo with a simple white tee and lace ups. We have spotted him wearing G-Star jeans quite a few times as well as AG Jeans before, so it's nice that he shows his support for the brands! Buy these jeans online at AGJeans.com.

Chris Hemsworth in AG Adriano Goldschmied The Matchbox Jeans
Busy promoting his film, Thor, Chris Hemsworth headed to film an appearance for Good Morning America. For his appearance, Chris wore a pair of AG Adriano Goldschmied's The Matchbox in 2 Years Black Out with a gray t shirt and blazer.
I am a big fan of this look overall and how it is a bit more dressed up than regular blue jeans. I don't think we see many guys wearing black jeans at the moment, rather most tend to stick with traditional indigo. You can buy these jeans online from AG for $215.
Chris Hemsworth in G-Star Jeans
Chris Hemsworth was snapped by the waiting paparazzi as he arrived into Sydney airport in Australia last week.
Chris wore his G-Star jeans for the third time with a grey marl top and black lace ups. Every time I see these jeans I just fall in love with the wash more and more! You can buy G-Star jeans online at SSENSE.

Chris Hemsworth in G-Star Jeans
Chris Hemsworth and his wife Elsa Pataky were seen going shopping for a suit at Calvin Klein in Midtown, New York City.
Chris wore his G-Star jeans again, but layered up this time with a t-shirt, shirt, leather jacket, scarf, beanie and boots. I always like seeing the differences in clothing between LA and NY! I also love how the jeans look here, more so than I did last time. The wash looks gorgeous in this lighting! Buy G-Star Jeans online at SSENSE.

All lanes of I-83 northbound are open Saturday morning after the state Department of Transportation had closed one lane Friday night for repairs, according to a PennDOT press release.
PennDOT had closed the lane Friday night so crews could stabilize a portion of the road near Shrewsbury about 1.2 miles north of the Maryland border, the release says.
Crews had drill holes into the pavement and pump in concrete to fill a gap that had formed under the road, according to the release. The gap was caused by a deteriorating drainage pipe more than 20 feet under the road, the release says.
PennDOT crews will do further repairs on the pipe itself in the next few weeks, the press release says..
Crews had to close down both southbound lanes in the same place for much of last weekend after crews discovered a similar — but worse &mdash problem on that side of the road.

Indiana to rename street for Nance
TribLIVE Sports Videos
Indiana Borough will rename the street heading to its high school campus after its greatest athlete.
School district officials at the recent Indiana-Highlands homecoming football game heralded the effort to rename Fifth Street after football great Jim Nance, who was an outstanding fullback for Indiana High School, Syracuse University and the Boston Patriots of the American Football League during the 1960s.
Soon, Fifth Street in Indiana, which connects the town's main drag — Philadelphia Street — to the high school will be named Jim Nance Avenue. Since Fifth is considered a state road, state Sen. Don White (R-Indiana) is getting the paperwork done in Harrisburg to make the renaming official.
James Solomon Nance was born in Indiana on Dec. 30, 1942, and graduated from Indiana in 1961.
At Syracuse, he tied Jim Brown's career record for touchdowns.
In an era when college players frequently performed in two sports, Nance was also the NCAA wrestling champion as a heavyweight in 1963 and '65.
Nance was a first-round draft pick by the Patriots in 1965 and led the AFL in rushing in 1966 and '67. He was the league's MVP in '66.
Nance stayed with the Patriots through 1971, when they became the New England Patriots after moving to Foxborough, Mass.
He finished his career in the World Football League until it folded in 1974.
Nance died June 17, 1992. His sister still lives on the soon-to-be renamed Fifth Street.
Indiana High School officials had members of the Nance family as guests for homecoming night.
It's amazing to look back at how Western Pennsylvanians helped establish the AFL.
Nance, Brackenridge's Cookie Gilchrist, Youngwood's George Blanda and Erie's Fred Biletnikoff were favorites that helped force a merger with the NFL that was completed in 1970.
Liput dies
Sorry to hear of Lower Burrell resident Jim Liput's death Saturday.
Liput reportedly became ill while doing yardwork Saturday.
He was 54.
Liput has the distinction of being the first person to use an aluminum baseball bat in a regulation Little League game.
That occurred in 1971 shortly after his father, John 'Butch' Liput, led a team of metallurgists tasked to invent an aluminum bat at the Alcoa Research Center in Upper Burrell.
After Jim started using the bat and hit a robust .541, his teammates wanted to use the metal bat.
Colleges and high schools soon caught on and the "ping" of a baseball hitting an aluminum bat became a sound of summer everywhere.
But Jim Liput was more than the answer to a trivia question for his family and community.
He spotted for his father in the Buccaneers Stadium press box for many years. Liput and his brother-in-law, Jay Manga, served as volunteer game officials for Burrell's youth basketball program, operated by Butch Liput.
Other family members ran the scoreboard and kept the scorebooks, making it a family affair.
Liput also quarterbacked the Bucs in 1975 and '76.
Liput's death comes on the heels of Tim Horwatt and Scott Fisher passing, also Burrell community members who devoted considerable time to youth and high school sports.
Here's hoping others are available to step up and fill the void created by the passing of Liput, Horwatt and Fisher.
George Guido is a Valley News Dispatch scholastic sports correspondent. His column appears Wednesdays.

On Lap 481 of Sunday's STP Gas Booster at Martinsville Speedway, Danica Patrick found herself in an unexpected position—battling Tony Stewart, her car owner and a threetime NASCAR Sprint Cup Series champion, for the 16th position.
Stewart was hung on the outside, losing spots as cars at the bottom of the track passed him in quick succession. Patrick, however, said she didn't give a moment's consideration to giving Stewart enough room to move to the inside lane.
"We were racing for position, so it didn't cross my mind to let him in," said Patrick, who finished 12th as the top entry for Stewart-Haas Racing. "I went underneath him to go by him. No, all that crossed my mind is that I just ... I'd be fair and give room and run hard, and if I get the spot, great.
"If I don't, you lost it to a guy like Tony Stewart. But, no, I'm out there to race, and I don't think Tony would want me to lift."
Making her first Martinsville start as the only woman ever to compete at the .526-mile short track in NASCAR's highest classification, Patrick posted her best Cup finish since running eighth in this year's Daytona 500 and her career-best result at an open-motor track.
After the bell
The fireworks at Martinsville didn't end with the checkered flag.
Brian Vickers, Kevin Harvick and Danica Patrick were racing hard for 11th, 12th and 13th off the final corner, and there was no dearth of contact between their cars.
Ultimately, Vickers got to the stripe first, followed by Patrick and Harvick. As the cars sped toward Turn 1 after the checkers, Harvick gave Vickers Toyota a shot and sent it spinning. The accident left Vickers mystified.
"We hadn't really raced that much all day, and then he (Harvick) just wrecked us after the checkered flag," Vickers said. "It was blatant, pretty blatant — he just turned right into us. The 10 (Patrick) and I were racing pretty hard. I got to her and got under her several times, and she ran me down in the marbles, ran me across the curb, was blocking pretty bad. So I put the bumper to her a little bit.
"If you're going to block, if you're going to run me across the curb, then you have to get the same in return. We raced hard all day, and we raced clean with a lot of people. I would say I did the same with Danica. I didn't try to wreck her, (but) if you're going to run me through the marbles, then what am I going to do?"
Mark Martin wasn't impressed with his own performance, but, after starting 35th, he still managed to post a top 10 subbing for four-time Martinsville winner Denny Hamlin, who is sidelined with a compression fracture in his first lumbar vertebra.
Martin fought the handling of his No. 11 Toyota Camry, losing a lap at one point, but he rallied for a 10th-place finish, good enough for a two-position gain to ninth in owner points. Through a miscommunication on pit road, Martin also left his stall before the left-front tire was mounted during a stop on Lap 256, but his drive over the final 200 laps made up for the mistake.
"It wasn't a great result—we were capable of a little bit better, but we just kept stumping our toe on Friday (during practice and qualifying), and then we had a setback when we were about to get into position," said Martin, who will return to his regular ride in the No. 55 Camry for Michael Waltrip Racing next weekend at Texas.
"I did not fill Denny's shoes, I can tell you that much. He is the master. (But) I enjoyed this opportunity. It was fun."
Substitute driver Vickers can empathize with Denny Hamlin
In picking Brian Vickers to substitute for Denny Hamlin, Joe Gibbs Racing got a driver who can empathize with what Hamlin is feeling while he waits to return to his car.
Vickers will start a stint of indeterminate length in the No. 11 Toyota next weekend at Texas Motor Speedway, as Hamlin continues to recover from a compression fracture of the first lumbar vertebra suffered during a last-lap crash Mar. 24 at Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, Calif.
Make no mistake. Driving the No. 11 Camry is an important opportunity for Vickers, who is running a nine-race NASCAR Sprint Cup Series schedule for Michael Waltrip Racing, including Sunday's STP Gas Booster 500 at Martinsville Speedway.
But Vickers has mixed feelings about the circumstances that will put him behind the wheel of Hamlin's car. Much of Vickers' ambivalence stems from a medical condition that forced him out of his ride at Red Bull Racing in 2011. Suffering from blood clots in his legs and lungs, Vickers missed the last six months of the season while he recuperated.
"Next week I'm going to be in the 11 car, which I'm obviously excited about, but sad how the opportunity came about," Vickers said Friday morning at Martinsville. "I know what it's like to be pulled out of your car for health reasons -- I've been in that boat before and wish Denny a speedy recovery.
"I'll do the best job I can for him and (sponsor) FedEx and everyone at Gibbs and Toyota until he returns ... Again, I reiterate it's very sad how it happened because I've been on the receiving end of this. I'm happy to jump in and do the best I can."
Hamlin is expected to miss five races, but that number is inexact, pending the speed of his recovery and a green light from his doctors.
Short Strokes
Elliott Sadler will drive a fourth Joe Gibbs Racing car in three NASCAR Sprint Cup races under sponsorship from Alert Energy Caffeine Gum, the team announced Friday. Sadler will be behind the wheel of the No. 81 Toyota Camry at Kansas (Apr. 21) and at both Talladega races (May 5 and Oct. 20).

I've just posted a message about my book, 'Nothing Personal, disturbing undercurrents in cancer care' on this forum. Among the many issues it raises is Communication - with a capital C. The (well meant) paternalism and lack of communication skills during my cancer treatment caused more stress than the cancer. This also had a major impact on patient safety at the time, plus I had years of playback and the psychological damage is lifelong. The good news is that it all prompted me to become involved in cancer services and I've met and worked alongside some wonderful patient-centred nurses and doctors - in a voluntary capacity.
Some people say 'cancer changed my life'. I say 'cancer care changed my life'. The experience prompted me to speak out and this led me along a path of increasing opportunities.
I do hope you will take a look at my previous post just a few minutes ago.

1. When you get into Taipei Main Station, take the green line to Xin-dian (Remember, not the orange one to Nanshijiao!!), and get off at Tai-power Building station, which is only 4 stops south on the green line.
2.When you arrive at Tai-power Building Station, take Exit 2 (the one with a big escalator) and turn left. You will see a beautiful pavement with bunch of trees, right next to Guting Elementary School.
3. After u pass by Guting Elementary School, take the first left at Ln. 93, Longquan St.
4.Walk down the alley for 20 seconds, then turn right at Ln. 62, Taishun St. You'll see a pretty house on the left and only 1 block away, located at the corner.
5.Congratulations, you've found us!! You're such a smart kitten!! :)

I loved this place and so will you! The place is very easy to find and is conveniently located near the Taipower MRT station, giving you access to the whole city. There are cafes, convenience stores, restaurants, etc. all within walking distance. The neighborhood is safe (I suppose most all of Taiwan is pretty safe!) and not noisy at all.
The place is warm, modern, and welcoming by both guests and operators. The vibe is very good, facilities are superb, but oddly enough, I didn't see any cats or their pajamas!
When I return to Taiwan, this is where I'm staying. You should too!
