Corporate venture capital has begun to rival "traditional" venture capital and angel investing in its importance as an investment source for healthcare industry innovation. However, unlike VCs and angels, there is a dearth of information on how the various players in the corporate venture sector operate.

You Can Add The FBI To The (Long) List Of People Impressed With Jeffrey Gundlach's Brain
There is no denying that Jeffrey Gundlach is a hugely talented man whose IQ would rank among the highest in the world if he ever had it tested. "What's it like having lunch with a genius," he once asked a colleague, who presumably answered, "To be honest, it's giving me an inferiority complex just breathing the same air as you, knowing that your brain is the standard for how intelligence will be measured from now until the end of eternity." Until recently, however, the application of Gundlach's brilliance was largely confined to bond management. According to a new profile by Bloomberg Markets, though, Gundlach's intellectual prowess is just as if not more impressive when it comes to crime solving.
James Gorman Will Say Something Nice About Wall Street When Wall Street Earns It
If you're looking for a cheerleader, go bark up another tree.
"Say you want to be out ahead of it and give a lot of speeches and talk about all the good we're doing," Gorman said today at an industry conference in New York. "And then some trader does some stupid thing like this guy at UBS did and he's in jail and all bets are off," Gorman said. He was referring to Kweku Adoboli, the UBS AG trader convicted of fraud this month in the largest unauthorized trading loss in British history…Traders at New York-based Morgan Stanley had too much latitude in the past, "what I call having an outsized sandbox," Gorman, 54, said at the conference, which was sponsored by the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association. "Until we can be really confident we've got discipline around the sandboxes, I think you have to be really careful not to be holier than thou," Gorman said. "We're going to be in the doghouse for a while."
Incidentally, this would a good time to mention that Gorman's bonus policy instituted last January– STFU or GTFO— still stands.

Germany Approves Greek Aid (WSJ)
German parliamentarians approved with an overwhelming majority a package of new aid measures for Greece Friday, clinching support for a plan to close a €14 billion ($18.17 billion) gap in the heavily indebted nation's finances and to ready a near €44 billion tranche of promised aid. The vote shows that German Chancellor Angela Merkel has been able to consolidate the support of her center-right coalition of Christian Democrats and Free Democrats, many of whom have expressed skepticism that Greece can be saved without significant costs to German taxpayers. Her coalition voted 90% in favor of the measures.
Leave "fairy world" behind, Draghi tells euro zone (Reuters)
"We have not yet emerged from the crisis," Draghi told Europe 1 radio. "The recovery for most of the euro zone will certainly begin in the second half of 2013." "The crisis has shown that we were living in a fairy world," the ECB chief later added at a conference with top financial officials, pointing to the unsustainable debts, weak banks and poor policy coordination that gave birth to the crisis three years ago.
Obama Takes 'Fiscal Cliff' on the Road; Republicans Stew (CNBC)
President Barack Obama, reapplying his re-election campaign theme of protecting the middle class, heads to Pennsylvania on Friday suggesting that Republicans could spoil Christmas by driving the country over the "fiscal cliff." The president's road trip, visiting a factory that makes Hasbro's [HAS 38.60 — UNCH ] Tinkertoys, is infuriating Republicans. House Speaker John Boehner called it a "victory lap" as he rejected Obama's proposals to avoid the cliff, the combination of tax increases and spending cuts set to start taking effect in January.
Berkshire Hathaway, CaixaBank Agree to Reinsurance Deal (WSJ)
Berkshire Hathaway will pay CaixaBank SA million €600 million ($778.7 million) for the future cash flow from a portfolio of life insurance policies, the Barcelona-based bank said Friday, a rare dip into a fiscally stressed euro-zone country for the investment firm run by Warren Buffett.
If You Like Late Nights, Try Being an Analyst in Hungary (WSJ)
As the clock ticked toward midnight on a recent night, stock analyst Gergely Gabler sat sleepily in his pajamas at the small desk in his bedroom, waiting. Then, just after 12, he sprang into action, evaluating the newly released earnings report of Hungary's largest bank. For the next two hours, Mr. Gabler worked on a report about OTP Bank's performance for clients of his firm, Hungarian brokerage Equilor Investments, before catching some shut eye, only to awake about 3½ hours later so he could be in his office to field questions by 7 a.m. Burning the midnight oil is a painful quarterly tradition for analysts and financial journalists in Hungary, where the country's biggest blue-chip companies publish their results in the wee hours, after markets in New York have closed and long before they open anywhere in Europe. "I'm a night owl, so I don't mind staying up," Mr. Gabler said. The hard part, the 28-year-old said, is getting out of bed the next day. That morning, he grabbed a red-and-black can of Hell, a caffeine-laden Hungarian energy drink, to fuel his workday.
Moody's Puts Aston Martin on Watch for Downgrade (NYT)
"The review was prompted by a significant deterioration in Aston Martin's liquidity profile as per end September 2012, caused by a much weaker cash generation and operating performance in the third quarter than anticipated by the company and compared to Moody's expectations," Falk Frey, a Moody's analyst, said in a statement.
Harvard Approves BDSM Group (Crimson)
It started last October with a meal in Currier dining hall with a handful of friends who shared something in common: an affinity for kinky sex. More than a year after the group first began informally meeting over meals to discuss issues and topics relating to kinky sex, Harvard College Munch has grown from seven to about 30 members and is one of 15 student organization that will be approved by the Committee on Student Life this Friday. Michael, who was granted anonymity by The Crimson to protect his privacy, is the founder of Munch, an informal lunch or dinner meeting for people across the kink community. For him, the recognition will provide a sense of ease for current and future members, knowing they are receiving institutional support. "It's a little hyperbolic for me to get teary-eyed and paternal about sophomores, but it's really a joy to see the experience they will have now," Michael said. Michael said there are many benefits to being officially recognized on campus such as being able to poster for events and promote Munch's presence…But for Michael, the biggest advantage to being recognized comes with "the fact of legitimacy," he said. "[Our recognition] shows we are being taken seriously." Mae, a member of the organization who asked to be identified by her middle name, said since its formation the group has provided her with a comfortable space to discuss her interests. "I didn't think that anyone was even remotely interested [in kink] on campus," Mae said. "It's a community where you can feel safe, and you can feel comfortable talking about [kink]."
Cohen's Damage Control (NYP)
Beleaguered hedge fund honcho Steve Cohen held a conference call yesterday for his roughly 1,000 employees to explain potential civil charges against his firm, SAC Capital Advisors. The call with SAC's employees went over similar talking points as the call with investors the previous day, according to a person familiar with the call. In the latest call, officials notified employees that last week, the $14 billion Stamford, Conn., hedge fund received a Wells Notice from the Securities and Exchange Commission tied to trading by a former portfolio manager who was arrested Nov. 20 on insider trading charges.
McDonald's Starved for Ideas as Burger King Lures Diners (Bloomberg)
Burger King has been excelling at a game McDonald's worked to perfect years ago, introducing a steady stream of new menu items, such as snack wraps and gingerbread sundaes for the holidays. McDonald's has "not had anything to talk about of substance," Michael Kelter, a New York-based analyst at Goldman Sachs Group Inc., said in an interview. "People are going elsewhere."
Hong Kong IPOs Generate Little Excitement (WSJ)
Hong Kong appears unlikely to regain its position as the world's top venue for initial public offerings anytime soon. In recent days, the city's biggest IPO in two years drew only lukewarm support, while another deal ran up against insufficient demand and a third was postponed.
Recession Left Baby Bust as U.S. Births Lowest Since 1920 (Bloomberg)
The country's birth rate fell 8 percent from 2007 to 2010, according to a Pew Research Center report. The rate dropped 6 percent for U.S.-born women and plummeted 14 percent for foreign-born females since 2007, the onset of the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression. The decline continued last year to the lowest point since records began in 1920.
Rogue caviar fugitive Mario Garbarino admits his guilt in fishy egg smuggling scheme (NYDN)
Isidoro (Mario) Garbarino, 69, who went on the lam 23 years ago pleaded guilty Thursday to smuggling $10 million worth of Russian and Iranian savruga and beluga to New York more than two decades ago. Garbarino's plea deal requires him to pay $3 million in restitution. He also faces up to four years in prison when he is sentenced in January. Garbarino, a supplier to fancy gourmet shops including Zabar's, was indicted in 1987 for cheating the government on import duties. Feds say his Bronx company, Aquamar Gourmet Imports, engaged in an elaborate scheme to smuggle more than 100,000 pounds of the expensive delicacy from 1984 to 1987. As part of the plot, Garbarino switched the high-quality caviar with much cheaper American caviar which he then sold to Pan Am, other airlines and cruise ships operators as the real thing. In 1989, Garbarino fled. He was nabbed two months ago in Panama and extradited to New York.
"Isidoro Garbarino ran his high-end importation business in a low-end way — cheating the government out of millions of dollars in tax revenues and defrauding his international clients who paid top dollar for exotic caviar they did not receive," said Manhattan U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara…Garbarino admitted he "occasionally misrepresented the nature of the caviar" to avoid paying the required taxes.

Blankfein: Seems Like "Fiscal Cliff" Deal Could Be "Reachable" (CNBC)
Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein described President Barack Obama's plan for Washington to reach an agreement on the "fiscal cliff" as detailed and "very credible." However, he cautioned that marginal income tax rates may have to rise to seal a deal. In an interview with CNBC after meetings between the president and several CEOs, Blankfein said, of course, it's hard to tell if a deal will be reached but "if I were involved in a negotiation like this, and everybody was purporting to be where they are, I would say that an agreement was reachable." Blankfein said he thought concessions on both the revenue and entitlement sides would be necessary to reach a final deal to avert the fiscal cliff, when large spending cuts and tax increases are slated to take effect on Jan.1. "Look, at the end of the day, the most important value is to get the economy moving forward," Blankfein said. "That's not going to happen if our budget deficit keeps widening." He added that the marginal income tax rate may have to rise in order to reach a deal. "I would prefer as low of a marginal rate as possible because it's the marginal rate that provides the incentive to do incremental work by people, but I'm not dogmatic — I wouldn't go to the end for that," he said.
Blankfein: "We Can All Be Winners Here" (CNBC)
"The most important thing is that we increase the wealth pie of the United States and that we don't reduce it. If we don't sort out our economy people will be fighting over their slice of a shrinking pie. I think we can all be winners here, even those pay a marginally higher rate, or a bigger proportion of revenue, if they are winners, as we all will be, because the economy is improving."
Krugman: Fiscal Cliff Is No Way To Run A Country (HP)
The Nobel Prize-winning economist expressed his frustration with the government's endless budget wrangling, especially over the so-called fiscal cliff, during a Wednesday interview with WNYC. "It's no way to run a country," Krugman said, referring specifically to the prospect of going over the cliff, a decision that would trigger a series of tax hikes and spending cuts next year, which would probably slow the economy. Given the options though, Krugman admits going over the cliff might be preferable to the likely alternatives. "There is nothing in there [the fiscal cliff] that is going to cause the economy to implode," Krugman said. "Better to go a few months into this thing if necessary than to have a panicked response or to give in to blackmail, which is certainly the question that's facing President Obama." In Krugman's view, the fiscal cliff "has nothing to do with the budget deficit," he added. "This is about a dysfunctional political process. It's about kind of a self-inflicted wound here." Krugman's not alone in his view that jumping over the cliff may be preferable to giving in to Congressional Republicans' demands. Peter Orszag, a former economic adviser to President Barack Obama, and Robert Greenstein, president of the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, have both said recently that the jumping off the cliff may end up the country's best option.
Foreign Banks Rebuffed By Fed (WSJ)
Daniel Tarullo, who is responsible for shaping banking policy at the Federal Reserve, said in a speech Wednesday that the central bank will require foreign banks with large U.S. operations to house their U.S. arms in corporate structures that comply with requirements under the Dodd-Frank Act. Mr. Tarullo didn't specify which foreign banks would need to adhere to the new structure. But the change would bring Germany's Deutsche Bank and the U.K.'s Barclays back under a regulatory regime they tried to escape through corporate restructurings.
EU Clears Spanish Bank Rescue (WSJ)
European Union regulators gave the green light to €37 billion ($47.9 billion) in euro-zone funding for Spain's stricken banking sector on Wednesday, setting in motion a long-term cleanup. In exchange, four nationalized banks agreed to make sharp cuts in their balance sheets and payrolls—a retrenchment that carries the risk of intensifying Spain's credit crunch in the midst of a deep recession.
Argentina wins debt reprieve, default averted for now (Reuters)
Argentina has won a reprieve against having to pay $1.33 billion next month to "holdout" investors who rejected a restructuring of its defaulted debt and have waged a long legal battle to be paid in full. A U.S. appeals court granted an emergency stay order on Wednesday that gives Argentina more time to fight a debt ruling favoring the holdout creditors and eases investor fears of a new default as early as next month. Last week, U.S. District Judge Thomas Griesa ordered Argentina to deposit the $1.33 billion payment by December 15 for investors who rejected two restructurings of bonds left over from its massive 2002 default.
Drunk 'Bohemian Rhapsody' singer wears Viking hat to court (Canada)
The man who became a YouTube viral sensation for singing "Bohemian Rhapsody" from the back seat of an police cruiser, has been convicted of impaired driving and for refusing to take a breathalyser test. He went to court wearing a Viking hat, sunglasses and NASA T-shirt proclaiming, "I need my space." He is being forced to pay a $1,400 fine and will be barred from driving for one year. The video footage was originally capture on the cruiser's built-in camera. His passionate performance was used as evidence during his trial. Because his friends told him to, Robert Wilkinson, posted the video to YouTube where it gained nine million people watched it.

Actor Tim Allen's Car Stolen By Man Claiming To Be Son (Fox2)
To the untrained eye, actor Tim Allen's 1996 Chevy Impala may not look like much, but with its custom engine and one of a kind interior, it's worth a lot of money. America's funnyman Tim Allen loved his car so much, he featured it in a YouTube commercial. The car was special, expensive, upgraded, and was also one of the superstar's favorites. He even drove it to the People's Choice Awards and mentioned it on stage when he won his award…So how did Allen's prized possession make its way from his Los Angeles garage to a corner in Northeast Denver? Faustino Ibarra is facing charges for stealing it. "It's a priceless vehicle." Ibarra said to Fox 31 Denver's Justin Joseph in an exclusive jailhouse interview. "I`m trying to make it simple for you to understand. I didn't break into (Allen's) garage. He left the door open and he left me the keys so I could get the car and take it to Denver." Ibarra claims Allen adopted him years ago and that Allen had allowed him to take the car. "I emailed my dad the morning that I got the car in and everything is fine and I've got the car and it`s ready for you and we need to talk about me coming to live with you," said the inmate. "What you say sounds a little crazy." Joseph said. "I don`t care how it sounds, I know who I am. He knows who I am. He knows who he is," Ibarra said. He denies that he has mental health issues and says no matter what anyone thinks, his alleged father, a superstar, will not pursue charges. "My dad loves the heck out of me. He's ultra-proud of me and he wants to see the best for me in every way," Ibarra told Joseph. FOX 31 Denver reached out to Allen's publicist but did not hear back from Allen's team. FOX 31 Denver also found no independent evidence that Ibarra was ever adopted by Allen.

Things Could Be A LOT Better At SAC Capital Right Now
Back in October, we detailed a list of things that, if you are the hedge fund manager who goes by the name Steven A. Cohen, you really don't want to hear first thing in the morning. They included: "The fleeces are on back order"; "Your ex-wife is in the lobby"; "There's a photographer here who said he's been authorized to shoot you wearing a king's robe and crown for a set of playing cards"; "You've been outmaneuvered for the Toledo Mud Hens. But I hear the Binghamton Mets may be available." Today we must update that list to include another thing, perhaps THE thing,* that people delivering news to Cohen don't want to relay. Paraphrasing but any variants on: "Mr. Cohen, we've received a Wells notice and by the way, they're considering naming you personally."
Gorman Enlists Morgan Stanley Workforce in Fiscal Cliff Campaign (Bloomberg)
Morgan Stanley Chief Executive Officer James Gorman called on the investment bank's employees to pressure U.S. lawmakers into reaching an agreement that averts the so-called fiscal cliff. "No issue is more critical right now for the U.S. economy, the global financial markets and the financial well-being of our clients, which is why I am asking you to participate in the democratic process and make your voice heard," Gorman wrote in a memo, a copy of which was obtained by Bloomberg News. The message went to about 30,000 U.S. workers including 16,000 financial advisers, said James Wiggins, a company spokesman.
Buffett Expects 'Fiscal Cliff' Fix, But Not By December 31 (CNBC)
Buffett didn't outline a specific solution that he prefers, saying he could "go with any number of plans." But he thinks the end result should have U.S. revenues at 18.5 percent of GDP and expenditures at 21 percent. Those levels would be "sustainable" because the ratio of the nation's national debt to GDP wouldn't increase, and might even fall over time.

Will Italy Need A Bailout In 2013? (CNBC)
"We still see as our baseline scenario that Italy will likely be forced to ask for an international bailout at some point in 2013," said Citi Analyst Giada Giani in a report on the country. "Italian economic fundamentals have not really improved, despite some improvement in market conditions. The negative feedbacks from fiscal austerity on growth have been severe, as the ability of the private sector to absorb fiscal tightening by lowering its saving rate is limited."
EU Agrees New Controls for Credit Rating Agencies (Reuters)
European Union countries and the bloc's parliament agreed on Tuesday to introduce limited controls on credit ratings agencies after their judgment was called into question in the debt crisis. Michel Barnier, the European commissioner in charge of regulation who helped broker a deal on the new law, said it aimed to reduce the over-reliance on ratings and establish a civil liability regime. The new rules should make it easier to sue the agencies if they are judged to have made errors when, for example, ranking the creditworthiness of debt.
Deutsche Bank Sued Over Home Mortgage-Backed Securities (Bloomberg)
Deutsche Bank, Germany's largest lender, was sued by a trustee over claims that some securities sold by a unit of the bank were backed by home-mortgage loans taken out by fraudulent borrowers. DB Structured Products Inc.'s pool of more than 1,500 mortgages included more than 320 that were defective, HSBC Bank USA (HSBA), acting as trustee, said in a lawsuit filed yesterday in federal court in Manhattan. "Borrowers lied, with or without the knowledge of the loan originators themselves, concerning how much money they owed, how much money they made, whether and where they worked, and where they lived," HSBC claimed. "A handful of instances of such inaccuracies is perhaps to be expected. Hundreds of instances of borrower dishonesty is not." HSBC seeks unspecified damages and said Frankfurt-based Deutsche Bank must buy back the breaching loans under its agreements with the trustee.
Woman Jailed For Attacking Beau Over Bad Sex (TSG)
A Florida woman was jailed last night for a post-coital assault on her boyfriend, an attack the victim says was prompted when only he climaxed during a sexual encounter in the couple's residence. Raquel Gonzalez, 24, was arrested Monday afternoon for felony domestic battery and booked into the Manatee County lockup, where bond has been set at $750. According to a Manatee County Sheriff's Office report, Gonzalez and Esric Davis, 30, are "boyfriend and girlfriend who live in the same home and are involved in a sexual relationship." Deputies noted that Davis and Gonzalez were "involved in sexual intercourse" when "Esric then climaxed and Raquel did not." Which reportedly angered Gonzalez, who allegedly "began hitting and scratching [Davis], causing scratches near his eye and nose." Davis told investigators that Gonzalez "goes off" frequently and that she had previously been physical with him.
Be right back, hon … with a $53M tip (NYP)
Anthony Chiasson, the founder of hedge fund Level Global, started getting illegal insider tips in 2008 when the $4 billion firm was going through a rough patch, a key government witness told a jury yesterday. The witness, Sam Adondakis, a former analyst who worked for Chiasson, said he told his boss tips on Dell came straight from the tech giant…The Dell tip that netted the firm millions wasn't without its drama. On Aug. 27, the day before Dell announced its results, Chiasson, Level Global co-founder David Ganek, and Greg Brenner, fund executive, held a conference call about their Dell position. At the time, Adondakis, on vacation in the Hamptons, was sitting down to breakfast with his girlfriend, he said yesterday. Adondakis said he remembers the conference call well because his girlfriend "was annoyed" by the conversation, which took him away from their meal for a good 40 minutes.
Banks Feel Currency Pinch (WSJ)
Banks reported sharp drops in currency-trading revenue last quarter, in many cases deepening a slump that began early this year. Even Deutsche Bank AG, the world's biggest foreign-exchange bank, reported revenue "significantly lower than the prior year" even as the volume of transactions it handled hit a record high in the third quarter. Banks are struggling on two fronts. A calm in currency markets relative to the swings of the last few years has reduced overall trading activity. And the explosive growth of electronic trading has brought transparency to a roughly $4 trillion-a-day market, making buyers and sellers less reliant on big banks to pair them up.
Executives' Good Luck in Trading Own Stock (WSJ)

This was close to double the 786 who saw the stock they traded move against them that much. Most executives have a mix of trades, some that look good in retrospect and others that do not.
'Two and a Half Men' star apologizes for offending cast and crew (CNN)
A day after a video posted online showed him describing "Two and a Half Men" as "filth" and advising viewers to stop watching the sitcom, actor Angus T. Jones apologized to the show's cast and crew Tuesday. "I apologize if my remarks reflect me showing indifference to and disrespect of my colleagues and a lack of appreciation of the extraordinary opportunity of which I have been blessed," Jones said in a statement released by his publicist. "I never intended that." The 19-year-old actor — who plays Jake Harper, the CBS sitcom's "Half" man — didn't detail what motivated him to make comments…In the video, the actor, who's been on the show since 2003, repeatedly asks viewers not to watch the sitcom. "I'm on 'Two and a Half Men,' and I don't want to be on it," Jones said. "You cannot be a true God-fearing person and be on a television show like that. I know I can't. I'm not OK with what I'm learning, what the Bible says, and being on that television show. You go all or nothing."

With Knuckle, Palmer offers a thorough -- and extraordinarily compelling -- portrait of the Travellers.
Chock full of larger-than-life characters, it's an enthralling insight into a raw, bloodied world.
Knuckle is the real deal, with the strapping, brutally human Traveller clans butting heads with not only one another but with the very future of their subculture's existence.
With the exception of a few candid moments featuring James at home, Knuckle isn't particularly well-made, but there's an inherently fascinating quality to the material.
Thick-necked, booze-loving and angry men beat each other with their naked fists: so far, so Irish. But the feuding clans in the documentary Knuckle actually think their habits of antagonizing one another can be fixed by just one more problem-solving brawl.
The film is very much like a home movie in trying to tell its story of families and feuds complete with the bad lighting, bad camera angles and meandering observations. Though you will wish for more polish and insight, its unruly action is hard to resist.
Palmer's grainy, handheld camerawork won't win any aesthetic prizes, but it's in tune with his subject.
Palmer keeps his focus tightly on the families, which makes the movie admirably unpretentious but also incomplete. Nevertheless, the picture has a vibrant central character in James McDonagh, the leading fighter in the clan who begins to question the rites of violence.
As anthropology lessons go, Knuckle is strong stuff, and it's easy to accept Palmer's conclusion that the problem he's showing us may well have no solution.
It's an involving but frustrating peek into a private culture involved in a self-defeating cycle of violence and mythologizing.
While it's frustrating that Mr. Palmer doesn't dig deep into the complexities of the fights, one of the movie's strengths is the honesty with which he confesses his doubts about them.
For all their brutality, the fights are so seductive and exciting that their consequences - the physical and mental toll exacted from the men and their families - sometimes fail to register.
While the film becomes slightly redundant, the anger and strife its characters cannot overcome is awful, poetic and, frankly, astonishing.
A documentary of bareknuckle fights among feuding Irish Traveller clans can't give the participants' self-perpetuating, dead-end rivalry the scope of tragedy.
Palmer's acknowledgement of his own involvement in, and thrill at watching, these events speaks volumes, but simply showing generations of pasty, fat men pounding each other to a pulp shouldn't be mistaken for an in-depth exploration of Gaelic machismo.

What if you want to access the real 64-bit system directory
from a 32-bit process?
File system redirection will take your attempt to access the
C:\Windows\System32 directory and redirect it to the
C:\Windows\SysWOW64 directory.
Programmatically, you can use functions with unwieldy names like
but those disable redirection for all operations until re-enabled,
which causes trouble if you're doing anything more complicated
than opening a single file,
because a complex operation may result in multiple files being
accessed and possibly even worker threads being created.
Instead of using a gross switch like disabling file system redirection,
you can use the special C:\Windows\SysNative virtual directory.
When a 32-bit process tries to access the C:\Windows\SysNative
directory, the operations are redirected to the real
C:\Windows\System32 directory.

yeah been looking all around for the info, but havn't actually found what i need yet..
IE: HOW to actually activate it..
If you ditched the car head unit, then I bet the antenna amplifier is not getting powered up. Most OEM antennas now use antenna amps, and almost all in glass antennas have them. I would guess that yours is not getting power, and so your reception is not good.
Search Google for this sort of Information.
As good as MP3Car is for info, sometimes car specific websites are better for certain info.

IE: HOW to actually activate it..
Well it's definitely the antenna, i connected a piece of wire and if i hold it up about a foot above the car, i get perfect reception.
But if i run it through the car, it's very patchy, i guess i'll have to try a DAB antenna and hope it works ok.
Ok, i'm not entirely happy with this setup. It works, but there isn't a great deal of bass. Currently just have the AMP set to 2 channel input(splits to 5 channel in amp) from the stereo output from onboard soundcard.
So, i'm thinking a USB sound card might give me more control and enable me to get things closer to how i want them.
Would something like this be the go? Sound Blaster X-Fi Surround 5.1 - http://au.store.creative.com/sound-b...1/1-17751.aspx
Then i can have the radio module going into the line in and have the front/rear/sub going to the 5 channel amp i have.(then set to 5 channel input)
I then disable onboard audio too...
Does this sound correct?
If not.. please correct me
OR.. do i just set onboard audio to 4.1 mode and use something like http://asia.creative.com/products/pr...1&listby=usage to capture the radio line in?

yeah i did read a few posts from you in that regard
but i'm not sure there's many other options either.. at least i haven't found anything yet..
Unless i get a low profile PCI soundcard.. It should fit..hopefully
scratch that... it won't go into the case..
sigh... just have to hunt around for a suitable USB one.. i remember someone here having a twin usb soundcard setup, but haven't found it again yet to check what they used..

text: K. Stiletto / Editor's Blog, Road Test / 6 comments REVIEW: CHI Touch Screen Dryer That awkward moment when you realize your hair dryer is smarter than you are…LOL So Farouk sent me the CHI Touch Screen Dryer and my first experience with it went really well. Actually, it went far better than I expected. Ok, ok, ok…let me be honest…I had the best hair day that I've had since July! But at first…I couldn't turn the dryer on. No really…I couldn't figure out how to turn it on (don't bother pressing a blank touch screen…nothing happens). I couldn't help but laugh at myself when I realized the ON switch was on the back of the handle. I'm just going to blame this on the fact that it was late at night and I was sleepy. My hair is texlaxed, fine 4a strands, with med-high density. I seem to live within a hair's breadth of BSL (bra-strap length) so it feels like my hair is dangling a (BSL) carrot in front of my face…LOL. WHAT I DID I had just washed my hair a couple of days before so I didn't need to use shampoo again so soon. I got in the shower and wet my hair completely. I applied a generous helping of CHI Deep Brilliance Reconstruct, put on a plastic cap and let it stay on for about 5 minutes. After rinsing I used Blow Damage Restorative Hair Mask (for 15 minutes). It was more protein but a) my hair is not protein sensitive and it takes a whole lot of protein for me to get protein overload and b) I was using it as a heat protectant because this product "primes hair for the perfect blow out," and c) I've had this jar for months and I really wanted to use it. But to be on the safe side I did follow up with my Rusk Sensories Wellness Heal Treatment (a very good moisturizing deep conditioner…don't get excited, its been discontinued). I used a bit of Roux Porosity Control after that. Once the last conditioner was rinsed out I (carefully) detangled my hair and sprayed CHI 44 Iron Guard (can't be too safe when using heat and this is a great heat protectant if you're looking for one). I like this particular heat protectant because it doesn't leave my hair sticky or hard. THE BLOW OUT The CHI Touch Screen Dryer has 3 menus that allow you to set temperature, speed, and ions. I chose medium across the board. The interesting thing about the ions is that it goes by your hair texture (fine, medium or coarse). I chose medium, but I'm going to try the Fine ion setting next time. Using a wide tooth comb and really small sections I blow dried each section. Oh and the dryer remembers my settings! I noticed two things right away when I got done. Number one my hair felt dry, but not overly dry. Somehow it still retained some moisture, without feeling or being wet. Number two my hair had a nice sheen to it. My hair never really shines, mostly due to the color of it (brownish, reddish, ash-brownish…dark, muddy dishwater?)…so the most I can hope for is a nice sheen. I have pics, but ummmm…I wasn't camera-ready so you won't be seeing those. I was pooped by the time I got done blow drying (just had surgery 4 weeks ago so I still get tired easily). I pinned my hair up, put on my satin bonnet and went to bed. THE NEXT DAY My hair still felt soft and moisturized the next morning when I got up. I flat ironed my hair (with my $12.99 flat iron) using really small sections because I wanted to make sure I got my new growth as straight as possible. One pass to straighten, one pass to curl it/bump it under. Again, I was pooped by the time I got done…but I was so pleased with how much SWANG my hair had. It was lightweight and had tons of body, bounce, and movement. Usually my fine hair doesn't hold curl for very long (30 minutes tops) but I'm pleased to report that I still had (some) curls and bounce by the time I went to bed last night! Even after dealing with dreary, wet, windy conditions. Side note, I had on a knit hat with flaps over the ears and when I walked into the grocery store I whipped it off and left my hair fall down around my shoulders. The menfolks jaws dropped. I felt like I was in a commercial…LOLOL. PURCHASE INFO I found it on Ulta.com for $199.95 (don't trip…the list price is $299.99). I'm not going to lie to you, the CHI Touch Screen Dryer is an investment. I've never had a really good, professional blow dryer but I'm so pleased with this one. Try to find a good sale…Christmas is coming up and this would be an excellent gift to yourself (or from someone). Happy Hair Journey!

Fake Tor client in App Store said to be laced with adware, spyware
updated 04:58 pm EDT, Wed March 19, 2014
Allegedly reported in December, app is still available
A Tor client on the App Store, Tor Browser, is actually a fake app saturated with adware and spyware, according to complaints. The app is said to have been reported to Apple in December; at one point the company suggested that the app's creator, Ronen, would be allowed to respond, but no news has emerged since, and the app remains on sale for $1.
The App Store review process is normally supposed to screen out fake and/or dangerous apps. Sometimes they survive screening however, and may only be removed once enough media attention is drawn to the offending apps.
Tor is a platform based on network relays that allows users to maintain anonymity while surfing the Internet. While it is sometimes used for illicit activities, the privacy it enables can be essential for people legitimately worried about government or corporate surveillance.

The president of the largest Bible translation organization in the world says that more people than ever before can access the Bible in their own language, that translation programs for every native language in the world will be underway in twelve years, and that work to translate the Bible into every tongue brings us closer to the return of Jesus to earth.
"More people have access to scripture than at any other time in history," Bob Creson, president and CEO of Wycliffe Bible Translators USA, told The Christian Post in an interview on Friday. On Thursday, Wycliffe announced that 4.9 billion people can now read the Bible in their native language. Creson declared that by 2025, there will be "translation occurring in every community that needs it." Only 1,919 language groups still lack access to the Bible, and Creson expects that to drop below 1,900 soon.
Creson states that "the last translator for the last Bible translation is alive somewhere in the world today." He told CP why he believes that. "Thirty years ago, the average New Testament took over 20 years to translate," Creson explained. Today, it takes about 8 years. more >>
The Dutch chapter of Christians for Israel has invested just over $30,000 to make a 36-feet-tall Star of David topped with a menorah – the nine-candle symbol of the Jewish holiday of Hannukah – which it claims will be Europe's largest menorah, to show solidarity with the Jewish community in what they believe to be the End Times.
Christians for Israel established the menorah "to show to the Jewish community in Israel and worldwide that they have friends who are praying for the restoration of Israel," Sara Van Oordt, the organization's head of communication & activities, told The Christian Post in an interview on Tuesday. She also added that current events are signs in scripture "that the Messiah will soon come – that Jesus will come again."
"For two thousand years, there hasn't been the state of Israel, and now everything is coming to fulfillment," Van Oordt added. "I really believe that this is one of the signs of the End Times." more >>
Many alleged men of the Lord have tried to predict the return of Jesus, and have failed.

A mining company based in Pennsylvania has been sued by an employee who claims that the biometric hand scanners used by the business was the "Mark of the Beast" described in the book of Revelation.
Late last month the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) filed suit on behalf of an employee of CONSOL Energy and Consolidation Coal Company of Canonsburg.
Beverly R. Butcher Jr., a longtime employee with CONSOL and self-professed evangelical Christian, alleges that the recently installed biometric hand scanners at work prompted him to retire. more >>
Nicolas Cage, star of such films as "National Treasure," "Adaptation" and "Face/Off," was photographed on the set of the new "Left Behind" movie in which he portrays Captain Rayford Steele — and the award-winning actor was not only caught on the set in character, but also goofing around.
Cage, reprising the role played by Brad Johnson in the previous "Left Behind" movies, was caught in the cockpit looking very dramatic:
Cage also found the occasion to photo-bomb a shot of producer Paul Lalonde's daughter: more >>
Much of the inspiration for the FOX network's new show "Sleepy Hollow," a modern-day police drama twist on the classic short story by Washington Irving, was drawn from the Bible, specifically the Book of Revelation and end times, the show's producers said in a recent interview.
Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman, executive producers of "Sleepy Hollow," said in a recent interview that they took the plot of the original "Sleepy Hollow" short story and added biblical themes to create their drama adaptation for the FOX network.
The original "Legend of Sleepy Hollow" was written by American writer Washington Irving in 1820 and follows the protagonist Ichabod Crane, a Connecticut school master who is seeking the hand of Katrina Van Tassel, the daughter of a wealthy farmer in rural New York, in marriage. Crane, who is in competition with Abraham Van Brunt for Van Tassel's hand, is eventually scared out of town by a headless horseman ghost riding in the night. more >>

Criteria Comments Rating
- Speed and features I love how fast it is, but I had to double the RAM to get it that fast. Don't get me wrong, it was pretty fast before that, but more-so now.
- Design and form factor Always a fan of Apple designs.
- Battery life Very good battery life compare to any other laptop I've ever used.
- Display Display is absolutely fantastic for a laptop.
- Durability Added a snap-on case, couldn't be happier with the durability.
- Expandability Not very upgradeable, but good enough for me. RAM was very easy to upgrade, did it myself with no issues at all.
- Noise Better than most, you can slightly hear the fan when it kicks on.
- Portability (size / weight) I feel that it doesn't weigh enough to pose any problems in portability. And it's small enough to make things easy.
Detailed review
I love this laptop to death. Even after having it for months I still find new things from day to day that I love about it. I spent about $1,500 on it, RAM upgrades, AppleCare and all, and it was the best money I've ever spent. Great laptop, I seriously recommend it.
good review!

RAW and JPEG Capture
Jun 23, 2012
Most of my FZ150 photos have been in JPEG format, but I occasionally use RAW format for capture.
Wondering if photo settings for both formats are the nominally the same (except for the format selection).
Of course the post-processing will be different, and RAW may have increased latitude in certain areas, but are the nominal settings for image capture the same, or do folks do anything different because they are shooting in RAW?
Take a look at my photography at:
Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ150

Sensata Workers facing layoffs in Novemeber when company jobs are moved to China will begin to camp outside the Sensata factory on Fairgrounds Road in Freeport Sept. 12 at 5 p.m. to protest Bain Capital's (owners of Sensata) decision to ship their jobs to China. The campers and protesters will continue to call on former Bain CEO Mitt Romney to help save their jobs. The workers are determined to camp out until Romney comes to Freeport.
According to a press release, the campers would like to make the reality of Romney's vision for our economy clear to Freeport residents and voters across the country.
Sensata workers have tried to contact Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney to intervene in the outsourcing of the 170 Sensata jobs. When Romney didn't respond, the workers took their campaign to the Republican National Convention in Tampa. "Mitt Romney refused to meet us in Tampa, but as a presidential candidate, he can't keep ignoring American workers," said Bonnie Borman, who has worked at the plant for 23 years. "We're asking him again to come to Freeport and help us save our jobs. If he wants to show leadership, he should stand with the middle class—not companies like Bain that want to ship our jobs overseas. And we're not leaving until he does."
Sensata Technologies develops, manufactures, and sells sensors and controls for major auto manufacturers. The company plans to institute the final layoffs in November.

What: Launch of Bainport encampment to save Sensata jobs

Rap mogul, Jay-Z, basically just sealed the coffin on our good friend, the hyphen, when he officially changed his name to Jay Z (sans hyphen). Did you know "today" used to be spelled "to-day?"

How to Breed an Ant Colony? Part One
In the next days, I will give you an introduction to the amazing world of the ants, how to collect them, how to make an ant nest, how to breed them, give the food, water,ana another type of carings that it need.
First of all, is important that we protect our environment, if we like to have an ant colony, we never have to destroy a wild ant nest in order to catch an queen ant, because, we will kill a lot of ants, and ants hav a very important role in the nature, because of without ants, humans couldn´t live, this is an amazing reason, isn´t ?
So, if we are planning to start our first ant colony, we need a test tube, like which doctors use to make test in the laboratory. We will put water inside the tube, and them a cotton in order to keep water and the moisture on the next. Then, we have to put inside our ant queen, and the put another cotton to avoid and ant escape.
So, when we put our ant queen inside the tube, we have to put the tube, in some darkness place, to let the queen start putting the first eggs.
You are asking, where I will get an ant queen, if I can not destroy an ant nest, the answer, is very simple, after the rainings of the summer, ants make the nupcial fly, where king ants and queen ants, reproduce it selfs, in that moment we have to catch ant queens. Ant queens are more big than king ants, so it will be easy to catch a queen, if it is possible try to find ant queens without wings, because this is an evidence that the queen is fertilized, and it can start putting eggs.
In the next part, how to care the queen, the baby ants, and how to feed them.
