Right now, Muddy Waters - King Bee
Spinning right now, Hank Williams Jr - Hank Live.
This is a 1986 pressing of Hank's 1986 tour and another $1 flea market find. Side 1 is nice - side 2 is really nice.
Continuing the country theme, Waylon Jennings – Ol' Waylon is on the turn table right now. Nice mellow country music, on a clean 1977 RCA pressing. Willie Nelson helps out, too.
Back to the blues.
Spinning right now a clean 1972 MCA pressing of B.B. King - Guess Who. Yet another $1 flea market find from last week. Competent, straight-ahead B.B. King, but a comparatively pedestrian effort nevertheless.
And now on to some classic rock, Cheap Trick - Dream Police
I've been travelling a lot lately so no albums, but listening to my Winehouse Lioness: Hidden Treasures on new Sleek earbuds...
Just finished, AC/DC - Highway To Hell
Spinning now, a 2 LP set.. Little Feat - Hoy-Hoy!
Sigur Ros - Kveikur
The Band: Cahoots Attachment 340616
I was listening to the latest 2 albums of Placebo - Battle for the Sun (2009) and the song Ashtray Heart in particularly and of course Loud Like Love that was released just in September. The song Loud Like Love is something incredible, it's great to hear new music by Placebo after 4 years.
The Clash - Brand New Cadillac
My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy by Kanye West. IMO one of the best albums of last 10 years.
I am listening to the last disc of the set right now.Attachment 433690
Putting this in as a video since I can't find a good image of the album cover:

One week ago, Michael took most of us to the Dublin airport after an adventurous and exciting two weeks of Irish culture by Terry Flynn Tours. I believe the naughty fairies below those big winds out way but it did not dampen our spirits nor result in canceling any plans. It only succeeded in creating marvelous clouds and ocean waves resulting in spectacular photos.
Everyone raved about George and Michael who shepherded us around the Emerald Isle in the new coach. Their witty jokes, facts and figures gave us valuable insights about Ireland, the culture, the humor and especially history. Please convey our appreciation to both of them.
The hotels and the B&B were very fine, the meals, delicious and the tours extremely interesting. Of course, most meaningful for Friendship Force "Ambassadors", was meeting people on a personal level. We value the time spent with the lovely folks of Carrick on Suir. It would be marvelous if a Friendship Force chapter might evolve from the seeds of friendship that were sown that evening with the dancers and with Marian Hearn during our excellent cooking lesson.
We appreciate the effort that you and your staff put into making this trip such a huge success. It was a pleasure to meet everyone.
Prepare to be invaded this August at Milwaukee's Irish Fest when a group of over-sized leprechauns appear at your booth but don't expect us to dance a jig!
Many thanks!

The bus was perfect. It made our trip spectacular!
It would have been such a mess renting multiple cars.
Accommodations were all excellent! We enjoyed them very much. So glad you were at Irishfest in Milwaukee last year!
Thanks again to both of you and Eddie and John for a wonderful trip!

Deep purple. Enticing aromas of plum, cassis and minerals. Silky but laid-back, with suave flavors of sweet spices, herbs, smoke and blackcurrant. This firmly built, very pure wine finishes with smooth, ripe tannins and outstanding length. A very successful Chateau Margaux and one of the best wines of the vintage.
** Cellar Selection ** A solidly structured wine, it is both elegant and intensely powerful. It is disclosing its fruitiness slowly, at the moment dense and concentrated. A restrained edge provides complexity and balance. It will need aging, so don't drink before 2022.
Fabulous aromas of flowers with hints of strawberries and currants. Extremely aromatic. This is full-bodied, with chewy tannins and a racy finish. It is very finely structured but chewy and austere. I like the tension to this. Try in 2018.
This has a restrained core of steeped plum, blackberry and anise, studded with tobacco and roasted cedar notes. The structure is silky but persistent, with an almost-succulent feel through the finish, while warm bergamot, singed cedar, vanilla and sanguine hints define the finish. Discreet today, but shows the balance and precision to unfold slowly with cellaring. Best from 2017 through 2030.
The renowned Chateau Margaux's 2011 boasts a dark ruby/plum color as well as a fragrant perfume of spring flowers, sweet, supple, well-integrated tannins, medium body, and the elegance and nobility expected from a great first-growth. Although it is not as powerful or concentrated as the 2009 or 2010 (no 2011s are), it possesses finesse, elegance, purity and suppleness. The wine is surprisingly approachable already yet should keep for 15-20 years. (RP)
**½ 86% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot, 2% Petit Verdot, 2% Cabernet Franc. The highest tannin level ever here, but you do not notice it. Stunning wine.

Fans of rollicking romps and rip-roaring adventures in the Wild West are in for one exhilarating read as Arens pits a ditzy Easterner against a rough and rugged bounty hunter. The pace is faster than a lightning bolt, but Arens manages to paint a vivid portrait of the era and bring her characters to life in a short, fast format. Take a deep breath and enjoy!
Zane Coldridge always gets his man, but when the fearless bounty hunter meets up with naïve city girl Lenore Devlin, his world turns upside down. He's on the trail of a ruthless outlaw when she distracts him. Lenore ran away from home hoping to find adventure. When Zane whisks her off, there's no stopping the frying-pan-into-the-fire escapades. At first, Zane plans to leave Lenore in the nearest town — until he spies a poster offering a bounty on her. Maybe he'd best keep the damsel in distress close at hand. From one town to the next, from bordellos to tornados, villains, outlaws and her family's intervention, this is one journey where unexpected love is the wildest adventure of all. (HARLEQUIN, Jan., 204 pp., $6.25)

Whit Mayo, a senior research analyst with Robert W. Baird and Co. in Nashville, has followed MedCath through its up and downs since 2004. He says the company "never hit its stride on a growth model" and that it was "blind-sided by the specialty hospital moratorium" imposed by Congress in 2003. During the 18-month moratorium physician-investors in new specialty hospitals could not refer Medicare patients to those hospitals.
The shift from inpatient to outpatient cardio procedures, especially implanting stents, also hurt MedCath. "They had a lot of beds and then insurers quit paying for patients to be hospitalized for stent work," explains Mayo. In 2009, MedCath's president and CEO, O. Edwin French, noted in a stockholder's letter that 40% of MedCath's heart catheterization business was now handled on an outpatient basis and that there had been a "decline in the number of open-heart surgeries, partly because of the effective use of drugs and drug-eluting stents."
Efforts to diversify its stand-alone specialty hospitals included ER expansions, diagnostic imaging services and the addition of orthopedic surgeries. Despite these efforts, in the 2009 stockholder's letter French said non-cardiovascular services accounted for only 20% of MedCath's business.
Mayo says MedCath simply didn't have the wide support among physicians, especially in primary care, it needed for its diversification efforts.
The trend in recent years for large hospital and health systems to purchase physicians groups also caused problems for MedCath. "The docs they relied on the most aligned themselves with competing systems. MedCath's only option in those markets was to sell its hospital."

Cliff Lee finished six uneventful innings on a Thursday in March and untucked his jersey in the musty visitors clubhouse at Dunedin's Florida Auto Exchange Stadium. His son, Jaxson, climbed on a ratty couch, and Lee, as he is apt to do, playfully swung his red belt. Father and son smiled.
"It's another spring," Lee said. "Nothing special."
No, there was no extravagant news conference arranged in the cafeteria in Clearwater to unveil a rotation that fulfilled almost every ounce of hype tossed its way. Lee did most of the talking that day last February, when Roy Halladay, Cole Hamels, Roy Oswalt, and Joe Blanton sat beside him biding time until they could resume their lives.
That scene was replaced this spring with Ruben Amaro Jr. seated in the Phillies dugout at Bright House Field, deflecting questions regarding the uncertain future of Chase Utley and his team's offense. It was then when the general manager might have indirectly established these Phillies' motto.

ABSTRACT: The aims of the study were to determine the effects of anisosmotic bathing solution on selected properties of I(Ks), the slowly activating delayed-rectifier K(+) current important for repolarization of the action potential in cardiac cells. Guinea-pig ventricular myocytes were voltage-clamped using either the ruptured-patch or perforated-patch technique, and the amplitude, time course, and voltage dependence of I(Ks) were determined before [isosmotic (1T)] and during superfusion of hyposmotic (<1T) or hyperosmotic (>1T) bathing solution. Hyposmotic solution increased the amplitude of I(Ks), and hyperosmotic solution decreased it. Anisosmotic-induced changes in I(Ks) amplitude were complete in 2-5 min, well-maintained, reversible, and not accompanied by significant changes in I(Ks) time course and voltage dependence. There was little difference in the results obtained with the ruptured-patch technique and those obtained with the perforated-patch technique. The amplitude of I(Ks) was sensitive to small (±10%) changes in osmolarity, maximally increased by hyposmotic solution with T < 0.7, and strongly decreased by hyperosmotic solution with T > 1.5. Experimental data on a plot of relative (1T = 1.0) I(Ks) amplitude vs. the reciprocal of relative osmolarity are well-described by a Hill equation that has a lower asymptote of 0.0, an upper asymptote of 2.0, and a slope factor of 1.87 ± 0.07. Modulation of I(Ks) amplitude by anisosmotic solution is independent of patch configuration, unaccompanied by changes in current gating, and well-described by a Hill dose-response relation that predicts relatively strong responses of I(Ks) to small perturbations in external osmolarity.

ABSTRACT: The objective of the study was to investigate the role of tyrosine phosphorylation in the regulation of KCNQ1/KCNE1 channels. Large whole-cell time- and voltage-dependent K(+) currents were present in human embryonic kidney 293 cells cotransfected with human KCNQ1 and KCNE1 but not in control nontransfected cells. The time- and voltage-dependent current had biophysical properties typical of cardiac KCNQ1/KCNE1 current and was almost completely abolished by KCNQ1 blocker chromanol 293B (50 microM). Both KCNQ1/KCNE1 and KCNQ1 current were inhibited in a voltage-independent manner by tyrosine kinase (PTK) inhibitor tyrphostin A25 (100 microM), but not by PTK-inactive tyrphostin A1 (100 microM), suggesting involvement of tyrosine phosphorylation in maintaining channel activity. This view was strengthened by the finding that phosphotyrosyl phosphatase inhibitor monoperoxo(picolinato)-oxo-vanadate(V) (200 microM) reversed the inhibition of current by tyrphostin A25. However, the channel-pertinent tyrosine phosphorylation modulated by these compounds does not appear to be on the channel itself because inhibition of current by tyrphostin A25 was unaffected by single and multiple mutations of KCNQ1 cytoplasmically accessible tyrosine residues. Inhibition by tyrphostin A25 was unaffected by intracellularly applied diC8 phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate (diC8 PIP(2); 25 microM), and based on the results obtained from cell surface biotinylation experiments, it was not due to loss of channels from the membrane. We conclude that tyrphostin A25 inhibits KCNQ1/KCNE1 current by lowering tyrosine phosphorylation on unidentified nonchannel protein(s) that directly or indirectly regulate the open probability of the KCNQ1 pore in a PIP(2)-independent manner.
Article: Involvement of tyrosine kinase in the hyposmotic stimulation of IKs in guinea-pig ventricular myocytes[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The objective of this study was to investigate the involvement of tyrosine phosphorylation in the hyposmotic stimulation of cardiac I Ks, a slowly activating delayed-rectifier K+ current that promotes repolarization of the action potential. The current was recorded from whole-cell-configured guinea-pig ventricular myocytes before, during, and after their exposure to solution whose osmolarity was 0.75 times normal. Exposure to hyposmotic solution caused a near-doubling of the amplitude of I Ks, with little change in the voltage dependence of current activation. Stable, hyposmotically stimulated I Ks (I Ks,Hypo) was decreased by broadspectrum tyrosine kinase (TK) inhibitors tyrphostin A23 (IC50 ≈ 5 μM) and tyrphostin A25 (IC50 15.8 ± 1.6 μM) but not by TK-inactive tyrphostin analogs, suggesting that tyrosine phosphorylation is important for maintenance of the current. In agreement with that view, we found that the TK-inhibitor action on I Ks,Hypo was strongly antagonized by vanadate compounds known to inhibit phosphotyrosyl phosphatase. When myocytes were pretreated with TK inhibitors, the stimulation of I Ks was attenuated in a concentration-dependent manner. The attenuation was not due to concomitant attenuation of a stimulation of tyrosine phosphorylation because neither the stimulation of I Ks nor its rate of decay following removal of hyposmotic solution was affected by pretreatment with vanadates. We suggest that the stimulation of I Ks by hyposmotic solution is dependent on a basal tyrosine phosphorylation that modulates a swelling-induced I Ks-stimulatory signal and/or the receptivity of Ks channels to that signal.
Article: VanTol, B.L. et al. Contribution of KCNQ1 to the regulatory volume decrease in the human mammary epithelial cell line, MCF-7. Am. J. Physiol. Cell Physiol. 293, C1010-C1019[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Using the human mammary epithelial cell line MCF-7, we have investigated volume-activated changes in response to hyposmotic stress. Switching MCF-7 cells from an isosmotic to a hyposmotic solution resulted in an initial cell swelling response, followed by a regulatory volume decrease (RVD). This RVD response was inhibited by the nonselective K(+) channel inhibitors Ba(2+), quinine, and tetraethylammonium chloride, implicating K(+) channel activity in this volume-regulatory mechanism. Additional studies using chromonol 293B and XE991 as inhibitors of the KCNQ1 K(+) channel, and also a dominant-negative NH(2)-terminal truncated KCNQ1 isoform, showed complete abolition of the RVD response, suggesting that KCNQ1 plays an important role in regulation of cell volume in MCF-7 cells. We additionally confirmed that KCNQ1 mRNA and protein is expressed in MCF-7 cells, and that, when these cells are cultured as a polarized monolayer, KCNQ1 is located exclusively at the apical membrane. Whole cell patch-clamp recordings from MCF-7 cells revealed a small 293B-sensitive current under hyposmotic, but not isosmotic conditions, while recordings from mammalian cells heterologously expressing KCNQ1 alone or KCNQ1 with the accessory subunit KCNE3 reveal a volume-sensitive K(+) current, inhibited by 293B. These data suggest that KCNQ1 may play important physiological roles in the mammary epithelium, regulating cell volume and potentially mediating transepithelial K(+) secretion.

ABSTRACT: Exposure of cardiac myocytes to hyposmotic solution stimulates slowly-activating delayed-rectifying K(+) current (I(Ks)) via unknown mechanisms. In the present study, I(Ks) was measured in guinea-pig ventricular myocytes that were pretreated with modulators of cell signaling processes, and then exposed to hyposmotic solution. Pretreatment with compounds that (i) inhibit serine/threonine kinase activity (10-100 microM H89; 200 microM H8; 50 microM H7; 1 microM bisindolylmaleimide I; 10 microM LY294002; 50 microM PD98059), (ii) stimulate serine/threonine kinase activity (1-5 microM forskolin; 0.1 microM phorbol-12-myristate-13-acetate; 10 microM acetylcholine; 0.1 microM angiotensin II; 20 microM ATP), (iii) suppress G-protein activation (10 mM GDPbetaS), or (iv) disrupt the cytoskeleton (10 microM cytochalasin D), had little effect on the stimulation of I(Ks) by hyposmotic solution. In marked contrast, pretreatment with tyrosine kinase inhibitor tyrphostin A25 (20 microM) strongly attenuated both the hyposmotic stimulation of I(Ks) in myocytes and the hyposmotic stimulation of current in BHK cells co-expressing Ks channel subunits KCNQ1 and KCNE1. Since attenuation of hyposmotic stimulation was not observed in myocytes and cells pretreated with inactive tyrphostin A1, we conclude that TK has an important role in the response of cardiac Ks channels to hyposmotic solution.
Article: Tyrosine kinase and phosphatase regulation of slow delayed-rectifier K current in guinea-pig ventricular myocytes[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The objective of this study was to investigate the involvement of tyrosine phosphorylation in the regulation of the cardiac slowly activating delayed-rectifier K(+) current (I(Ks)) that is important for action potential repolarization. Constitutive I(Ks) recorded from guinea-pig ventricular myocytes was suppressed by broad-spectrum tyrosine kinase (TK) inhibitors tyrphostin A23 (IC(50), 4.1+/-0.6 microm), tyrphostin A25 (IC(50), 12.1+/-2.1 microm) and genistein (IC(50), 64+/-4 microm), but was relatively insensitive to the inactive analogues tyrphostin A1, tyrphostin A63, daidzein and genistin. I(Ks) was unaffected by AG1478 (10 microm), an inhibitor of epidermal growth factor receptor TK, and was strongly suppressed by the Src TK inhibitor PP2 (10 microm) but not by the inactive analogue PP3 (10 microm). The results of experiments with forskolin, H89 and bisindolylmaleimide I indicate that the suppression of I(Ks) by TK inhibitors was not mediated via inhibition of (I(Ks)-stimulatory) protein kinases A and C. To evaluate whether the suppression was related to lowered tyrosine phosphorylation, myocytes were pretreated with TK inhibitors and then exposed to the phosphotyrosyl phosphatase inhibitor orthovanadate (1 mm). Orthovanadate almost completely reversed the suppression of I(Ks) induced by broad-spectrum TK inhibitors at concentrations around their IC(50) values. We conclude that basal I(Ks) is strongly dependent on tyrosine phosphorylation of Ks channel (or channel-regulatory) protein.
Article: Insensitivity of cardiac delayed‐rectifier IKr to tyrosine phosphorylation inhibitors and stimulators[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: 1The rapidly activating delayed-rectifying K+ current (IKr) in heart cells is an important determinant of repolarisation, and decreases in its density are implicated in acquired and inherited long QT syndromes. The objective of the present study on IKr in guinea-pig ventricular myocytes was to evaluate whether the current is acutely regulated by tyrosine phosphorylation.2Myocytes configured for ruptured-patch or perforated-patch voltage-clamp were depolarised with 200-ms steps to 0 mV for measurement of IKr tail amplitude on repolarisations to −40 mV.3IKr in both ruptured-patch and perforated-patch myocytes was only moderately (14–20%) decreased by 100 μM concentrations of protein tyrosine kinase (PTK) inhibitors tyrphostin A23, tyrphostin A25, and genistein. However, similar-sized decreases were induced by PTK-inactive analogues tyrphostin A1 and daidzein, suggesting that they were unrelated to inhibition of PTK.4Ruptured-patch and perforated-patch myocytes were also treated with promoters of tyrosine phosphorylation, including phosphotyrosyl phosphatase (PTP) inhibitor orthovanadate, exogenous c-Src PTK, and four receptor PTK activators (insulin, insulin-like growth factor-1, epidermal growth factor, and basic fibroblast growth factor). None of these treatments had a significant effect on the amplitude of IKr.5We conclude that Kr channels in guinea-pig ventricular myocytes are unlikely to be regulated by PTK and PTP.British Journal of Pharmacology (2006) 148, 724–731. doi:10.1038/sj.bjp.0706776

Article: Inward-rectifier K+ Current in Guinea-pig Ventricular Myocytes Exposed to Hyperosmotic Solutions[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Superfusion of heart cells with hyperosmotic solution causes cell shrinkage and inhibition of membrane ionic currents, including delayed-rectifer K+ currents. To determine whether osmotic shrinkage also inhibits inwardly-rectifying K+ current (I(K1)), guinea-pig ventricular myocytes in the perforated-patch or ruptured-patch configuration were superfused with a Tyrode's solution whose osmolarity (T) relative to isosmotic (1T) solution was increased to 1.3-2.2T by addition of sucrose. Hyperosmotic superfusate caused a rapid shrinkage that was accompanied by a negative shift in the reversal potential of Ba(2+)-sensitive I(K1), an increase in the amplitude of outward I(K1), and a steepening of the slope of the inward I(K1)-voltage (V) relation. The magnitude of these effects increased with external osmolarity. To evaluate the underlying changes in chord conductance (G(K1)) and rectification, G(K1)-V data were fitted with Boltzmann functions to determine maximal G(K1) (G(K1)max) and voltage at one-half G(K1)max (V(0.5)). Superfusion with hyperosmotic sucrose solutions led to significant increases in G(K1)max (e.g., 28 +/- 2% with 1.8T), and significant negative shifts in V(0.5) (e.g., -6.7 +/- 0.6 mV with 1.8T). Data from myocytes investigated under hyperosmotic conditions that do not induce shrinkage indicate that G(K1)max and V(0.5) were insensitive to hyperosmotic stress per se but sensitive to elevation of intracellular K+. We conclude that the effects of hyperosmotic sucrose solutions on I(K1) are related to shrinkage-induced concentrating of intracellular K+.

ABSTRACT: Tyrosine kinase (TK) inhibitors genistein and tyrphostin A23 (A23) inhibited Ca2+ currents in guinea-pig ventricular myocytes investigated under standard whole-cell conditions (K+-free Tyrode's superfusate; EGTA-buffered (pCa–10.5) Cs+ dialysate). However, the inhibitors (100 μM) also induced membrane currents that reversed between −40 and 0 mV, and the objective of the present study was to characterize these currents. Genistein-induced current behaved like Cl− current, and was unaffected by either the addition of divalent cations (0.5 mM Cd2+; 3 mM Ni2+) that block the Na+–Ca2+ exchanger (NCX), or the removal of external Na+ and Ca2+. A23-induced current was independent of Cl− driving force, and strongly suppressed by addition of Cd2+ and Ni2+, and by removal of either external Na+ or Ca2+. These and other results suggested that A23 activated an NCX current driven by submembrane Na+ and Ca2+ concentrations higher than those in the bulk cytoplasm. Improved control of intracellular Na+ and Ca2+ concentrations was obtained by suppressing cation influx (10 μM verapamil) and raising dialysate Na+ to 7 mM and dialysate pCa to 7. Under these conditions, stimulation by A23 was described by the Hill equation with EC50 68±4 μM and coefficient 1.1, tyrphostin A25 was as effective as A23, and TK-inactive tyrphostin A1 was ineffective. Phosphotyrosyl phosphatase inhibitor orthovanadate (1 mM) antagonized the action of 100 μM A23. The results suggest that activation of cardiac NCX by A23 is due to inhibition of genistein-insensitive TK. British Journal of Pharmacology (2004) 143, 943–951. doi:10.1038/sj.bjp.0706011
Article: Transient outward current carried by inwardly rectifying K+ channels in guinea pig ventricular myocytes dialyzed with low-K+ solution[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: There have been periodic reports of nonclassic (4-aminopyridine insensitive) transient outward K+ current in guinea pig ventricular myocytes, with the most recent one describing a novel voltage-gated inwardly rectifying type. In the present study, we have investigated a transient outward current that overlaps inward Ca2+ current (I(Ca,L)) in myocytes dialyzed with 10 mM K+ solution and superfused with Tyrode's solution. Although depolarizations from holding potential (Vhp) -40 to 0 mV elicited relatively small inward I(Ca,L) in these myocytes, removal of external K+ or addition of 0.2 mM Ba2+ more than doubled the amplitude of the current. The basis of the enhancement of I(Ca,L) was the suppression of a large transient outward K+ current. Similar enhancement was observed when Vhp was moved to -80 mV and test depolarizations were preceded by short prepulses to -40 mV. Investigation of the time and voltage properties of the outward K+ transient indicated that it was inwardly rectifying and unlikely to be carried by voltage-gated channels. The outward transient was attenuated in myocytes dialyzed with high-Mg2+ solution, accelerated in myocytes dialyzed with 100 microM spermine solution, and abolished with time in myocytes dialyzed with ATP-free solution. These and other findings suggest that the outward transient is a component of classic "time-independent" inwardly rectifying K+ current.
Article: Selective block of swelling-activated Cl- channels over cAMP-dependent Cl- channels in ventricular myocytes[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The objective of this study on guinea-pig and rabbit ventricular myocytes was to evaluate the sensitivities of swelling-activated Cl- current (ICl(swell)) and cAMP-dependent cystic fibrosis transmembrane regulator (CFTR) Cl- current (ICl(CFTR)) to block by dideoxyforskolin and verapamil. The currents were recorded from whole-cell configured myocytes that were dialysed with a Cs+-rich pipette solution and superfused with either isosmotic Na+-, K+-, Ca2+-free solution that contained 140 mM sucrose or hyposmotic sucrose-free solution. Forskolin-activated ICl(CFTR) was inhibited by reference blocker anthracene-9-carboxylic acid but unaffected by < or = 200 microM dideoxyforskolin and verapamil. However, dideoxyforskolin and verapamil had strong inhibitory effects on outwardly-rectifying, inactivating, distilbene-sensitive ICl(swell); IC50 values were approximately 30 microM, and blocks were voltage-independent and reversible. The results establish that dideoxyforskolin and verapamil can be used to distinguish between ICl(CFTR) and ICl(swell) in heart cells, and expand the pharmacological characterization of cardiac ICl(swell).

ABSTRACT: The objective of this study was to determine the concentration-dependent effects of nisoldipine, a dihydropyridine Ca2+ channel blocker, on K+ currents in guinea-pig ventricular myocytes. Myocytes in the conventional whole-cell configuration were bathed in normal Tyrode's solution or K+-free Tyrode's solution for the measurement of the effects of 0.01–100 μM nisoldipine on rapidly activating delayed-rectifier K+ current (IKr), slowly activating delayed-rectifier K+ current (IKs), inwardly rectifying K+ current (IK1), and reference L-type Ca2+ current (ICa,L). Nisoldipine inhibited IKr with an IC50 of 23 μM, and IKs with an IC50 of 40 μM. The drug also had weak inhibitory effects on inward- and outward-directed IK1; the IC50 determined for outward-directed current was 80 μM. Investigation of nisoldipine action on IKs showed that inhibition occurred in the absence of previous pulsing, and with little change in the time courses of activation and deactivation. However, the drug-induced inhibition was significantly weaker at +30 mV than at +10 mV. We estimate that nisoldipine is about 30 times less selective for delayed-rectifier K+ channels than for L-type Ca2+ channels in fully polarised guinea-pig ventricular myocytes, and several orders less selective in partially depolarised myocytes.

Article: Selective phenylalkylamine block of I Kr over other K + currents in guinea-pig ventricular myocytes[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Previous studies on verapamil and D600 have established that the Ca2+-channel blockers also inhibit delayed-rectifier K+ currents in cardiac tissues and myocytes. However, estimated IC50 values range over two to three orders of concentration, and it is unclear whether this reflects a high selectivity by one or both of the phenylalkylamines for particular K+ channels. The purpose of the present study was to determine the concentration-dependent actions of verapamil and D600 on three defined cardiac K+ currents. Guinea-pig ventricular myocytes in the conventional whole-cell configuration were bathed with normal Tyrode's or K+-free solution, and pulsed from −80 mV for measurement of the effects of 0.01 μM to 3 mM verapamil and D600 on the inwardly-rectifying K+ current (IKl) and the two delayed-rectifier K+ currents, rapidly-activating IKr and slowly-activating IKs. The phenylalkylamines inhibited both inward- and outward-directed IKl. The IC50 values for outward IKl were approximately 220 μM. Verapamil and D600 were approximately equipotent inhibitors of the delayed-rectifier K+ currents. They inhibited IKr with IC50 near 3 μM, and IKs with IC50280 μM. These results are discussed in relation to previous findings on K+ currents and to the clinical actions of the drugs. British Journal of Pharmacology (2000) 131, 1809–1816; doi:10.1038/sj.bjp.0703758

Instagram ad policy change riles users
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO -- Instagram, the popular mobile photo-sharing service now owned by Facebook, said Tuesday it will remove language from its new terms of service suggesting that users' photos could appear in advertisements.
The language in question had appeared in updated policies announced Monday and scheduled to take effect Jan. 16. After an outcry on social media and privacy rights blogs, the company clarified that it has no plans to put users' photos in ads.
That said, Instagram maintains it was created to become a business and would like to experiment with various forms of advertisements to make money. Instagram doesn't currently run any ads. As of now, the free service has no way to make money and brings in no revenue to Facebook.
"Our main goal is to avoid things likes advertising banners you see in other apps that would hurt the Instagram user experience," Instagram co-founder Kevin Systrom wrote in a blog post Tuesday.
What had riled users and privacy advocates was Instagram's new assertion that it may now receive payments from businesses to use its members' photos, user name and other data "in connection with paid or sponsored content or promotions, without any compensation" to them.
Instagram didn't offer many details at the time. Its blog post on Monday made no mention of ads or other commercial activities, though it offered links to the new privacy policy and terms of service. Those documents spell out what the service could do, but say little about actual plans.
Instead, Instagram merely said the changes will help its service "function more easily as part of Facebook by being able to share info between the two groups." Facebook Inc. also recently updated its privacy policy to allow for more integration with Instagram.
"This means we can do things like fight spam more effectively, detect system and reliability problems more quickly, and build better features for everyone by understanding how Instagram is used," the earlier blog post said, adding that the updates also "help protect you, and prevent spam and abuse as we grow."
Facebook bought Instagram in September for $715.3 million, $300 million of it in cash and the rest in stock.
Instagram's new policy, which takes effect Jan. 16, suggests that Facebook wants to integrate Instagram into its ad-serving system.
"These services are publicly advertised as 'free,' but the free label masks costs to privacy, which include the responsibility of monitoring how these companies sell data, and even how they change policies over time," said Chris Hoofnagle, director of Information Privacy Programs at the Berkeley Center for Law & Technology.
The fast-growing service has become a popular way to share photos from cell phones. The Instagram app, available for the iPhone and Android devices, offers a variety of filters to give photos a retro feel or other look.

Projects View will do this for you. Set it to group by year. Within each year you can sort by Name, Date, or use the order of you Library. You can drill down to show Projects from only one year.
Many find the following an awkward shift from their way of doing things, but IMHO once you get used to it, it opens up a useful second-level of organizing with Aperture. Since sorting (and some grouping) by date is already hard-coded into Aperture at the Project and Image level, there is no reason to reproduce it in your Library structure. You can always group and sort your Projects and Images by date. Use the Library organization for another function or service that helps you flow your work.
I have some long posts in the last year in which I flesh this out. Right now I don't have time to find them, but a search may turn them up.
Re-organizing your Library is a chore, but is not hard. One helpful hint is to use Projects View to select Projects, then double-click them to have the selected in the Library tab of the Inspector, from which you can move them into the folder of your choice.
Be careful to allow Aperture to finish all processing before shutting down or sleeping your computer.
Good Luck.

I am having tough time creating a HQL query that checks if a list of records 'a' of table 'X' is included within another list 'b' of the same table 'X'.
Here is an example i am using:
select r

where (
select p

where p.name = 'test') in elements(r.permissions)
Now this query is just as an example, to clarify a bit, each role has 1 or more permission.
Now here's what happen, if the the subselect (permission p) returns 1 row, all work fine. But if more are selected, the query fails, since I am trying to check if a list is within a list...
I am sure I am missing something here, so please any help would be appretiated.

Infographic created by Planet Text
I have come to the realization that I am the nerd amongst my set of friends. I shot out a status update last night on Twitter and Facebook asking who else would be watching the big Google/Samsung event. The resounding response, to quote my good friend Jeniene, was "**crickets.** I had to laugh. Nevertheless, I soldiered on, joined on GoogleTalk by my tech partner-in-crime, Francis. In a nutshell, last night Google rolled out it's latest version of the Android Operating System, known as Ice Cream Sandwich. In tandem with that announcement, Samsung revealed the not-so-secret Galaxy Nexus. The Galaxy Nexus, though a bit larger, looks like a beautiful piece of hardware. The focus, however, really was on the improvements to the operating system. I titled this piece "Good Gets Better" because I feel that Android, at this point, is good, but needs improvement. What I saw in the presentation last night has thoroughly intrigued me, and may just keep me from a possible move to the iPhone. Though I am prone to, sometimes exhaustive, long-form posts, I'll let the folks at Google explain the what's new.
If you really want to get your hands dirty, and get an insider's perspective on the direction Google is taking Android, check out this great interview of Matias Duarte by Joshua Topolsky for This Is My Next (soon to be The Verge).
Of course, I would be remiss if I didn't give a nod to Apple's presentation of the improved, though not entirely new, iPhone 4S
Kudos to Apple. They truly know how to do a slick presentation.
On an aside, I wonder if Apple's people know that their keynotes would be just as successful without so many superlatives. Apple is quite fond of the word "amazing!"
I, along with many others, was disappointed that a completely new iPhone 5 was not introduced. All the rumors and speculation about a new body had me going. It should be noted that my friend Brian nailed nearly every feature of the iPhone 4S several weeks before the announcement. Irrespective of my let down over a new shiny body, the iPhone form factor is still very attractive. There are a number of interesting enhancements coming with iOS 5 that really don't have anything to do with the new 4S itself, but if I were going to move to the iPhone, I would get the 4S over the 4. The improvements to the camera, which was already a solid performer, look really impressive. Several of my friends who are photographers have been raving about the camera. For what it's worth, Siri, the personal assistant software, is cute but not something that blows me away. In all candor, all the post-announcement blather and giggles about how "neat" Siri is causes a slight amount of gastric juice to bubble up into my mouth. Look..I have a sense of humor, but come on!
The iPhone 4S has risen near the top of the list, right behind the Galaxy Nesus, as a replacement for my Droid X. I haven't given up on Windows Phone 7…yet. If only Nokia would release that beautiful N9 here in the States with the Windows Phone 7 operating system.
Apollo Grooves – Gibby Music
I have not posted my random list of interesting reads and videos in a while. Please excuse this longer-than-usual list as I play a little catch-up.
Words – Everynone
This post is really a first-person account. Regrettably, I have spent a good part of my life working around problems, often not solving them — let alone discovering the genesis of friction and strife. Unfortunately, the rather toxic byproduct of this behavior can be resentment and frustration. I think going through a divorce caused (read: forced) me to take a long look at my behavior. It's so easy to say it was the other person's fault; but the real work comes when you take a look in the mirror, figuratively. What did I do, or what have I done to create problems in my relationship? Interestingly enough, a lot of us are willing to have that internal query. We usually go off in one of two directions — denial (most common) or admission.
I think the hazards of denial are pretty obvious, so I won't dwell on that. I would offer that an admission, without a commitment to introspection, humility and hard work, can be just as threatening to a relationship as denial.
Again, speaking first hand, I had to look at my pattern of admitting problems and thinking, "Viola! Problem solved." I wasn't even aware that my logic was, if I admitted that I had a problem my significant other should take the victory of the admission. For a lot of people, acknowledging a problem exists is a huge hurdle. Thus, I think when people finally 'fess up, they feel the weight has been lifted. No longer do they have the burden of hiding that issue. When the problem arises, post-admission, the excuse given to the significant other often is something akin to, "Well, I already admitted that's a problem for me." There is a reason why admission of a problem is the first step on just about every recovery program in existence. Without acknowledgement that a problem exists, you cannot really move on to examining the root cause(s) of the problem, as well as figuring out a path for moving forward. I'm careful not to say move past a problem because so many of us want to merely move around or circumnavigate a problem instead of doing the hard work of moving through emotional obstacles.
What we all need to realize is that saying, "I have a problem." is not the end…it's just the beginning. It's a bit like energy transference to throw out a problem and act like it's now the other person's burden. To be fair, a lot of us aren't really equipped to know how to move past admission. That's why I am a big proponent/fan of counseling. One of the most important things I've learned in counseling, both individual and couples, is to truly examine the problems, anxiety, or fears come from. I try to stop and think, Where is this fear/anger/anxiety coming from? Where in my body do I feel that emotion? I try to back away from what could be an argument and sit quietly. This is particularly useful when your blood is boiling, because it's really important to understand why something or someone could make you that angry. So often, we think the problem is the significant other, when she or he may merely be reflecting a part of ourselves that is the real menace.
I don't have all the answers, nor do I yet consistently follow my own advice. I do know, though, that once I made an effort to get past merely making admissions, stopped blaming others for my "stuff," and put in the work, a number of problems and fears that have plagued me for most of my life became inconsequential or non-existent. Now, I hope that it goes without saying that there has to be a commitment by both parties in a relationship to move through problems. The health of a relationship hinges on there being a safe place where either individual can bare their soul. Without that security and trust, the person with a problem is likely to become defensive and recalcitrant.
I wish all of you nothing but peace and harmony in your lives and relationships. However, life being what it is, there will be friction with others. Just remember admission is a big step, but it's truly just the first one on a journey toward emotional repair and recover. Good luck!

I was really excited about finding something other than dark chocolate that was still dairy-free. I have to say though, this did not taste very good at all. It tasted very cheap and lacked the fullness that chocolate usually has.
Posted by 4902118298232638091 on Mar 30, 2015

Twenty-three years old, Gretchen Brannon has never left her home state of Texas. Her only real relationship had been with a man who was using her. When the chance arises to travel with her best friend to Tangiers, she jumps at it.
Once in Tangiers, however, an emergency sends her friend home and Gretchen contemplates going to Qawi as personal assistant to the ruling Sheikh in her friends place. While she debates taking part in the charade, Gretchen meets a man who sweeps her off her feetand her handsome stranger is the Sheikh.
Philippe Sabon has worked hard for his country, but an accident has left him vulnerable to his critics. He believes that Gretchen can help him take the wind out of his enemies sails. Neither of them counted on falling in love. Nor had they ever witnessed the healing powers of true love.
Although Ms. Palmer often feels the need to tell too much of the back story of each character rather than giving their actions a chance to define them to readers, she does deliver a love story that is pure and enjoyable. (Oct., 384 pp., $6.99)

The hostel manager is the sweetest woman and an uber driver so it'll save you time if you need to get anywhere. The place has a lock box that she'll give you the code to for easy access. It's right in little Italy so it's convenient to get places. It is loud due to the airport, but it honestly is not that bad. There's only one bathroom and while it's not spotless, it's clean enough. I've been to other hostels and it's the same. This isn't a hostel for partying. It has a more homey feel.

DONT STAY HERE. Everything was awful. One towel for everyone, no mirror in bathroom, terrible coffee. Main room is filled with junk. There is a VERY LOUD ALL NIGHT BAR NEXT DOOR. Parking is several blocks away. They dont take credit or debit cards. They have several large notes on the bathroom wall telling you the woman who runs the place gave money to some charity. Its out of line. Costs too much for what you get. Worst place I have ever been in anywhere.

SACRAMENTO — As they walked off the platform of their postgame press conference after Saturday's 56-45 loss to Berkeley for the Division I NorCal title at Sleep Train Arena, members of the Oak Ridge girls basketball team held their heads high — and with good reason.
Looking back, the Trojans had captured an outright Delta River League title (10-0 record) and finished with a 28-5 mark. Overall, Oak Ridge averaged 54.1 points per game and held its opponents to an average of 39.3. In league, the Trojans scored an average of 61 points per game and allowed just 36.3 points per outing.
Entering the Sac-Joaquin Section D-I playoffs as the No. 2 seed, Oak Ridge breezed through its first two playoff opponents in Bella Vista and Monterey Trail before losing to Kennedy, 65-42 in the semifinals.
"The way we played in the Kennedy game left a bad taste," Oak Ridge head coach Steve White said. "The players (were) committed to playing better and going out on a better performance."
Despite the loss, the Trojans earned an automatic berth to NorCals and captured road wins at Amador Valley, Wilcox of Santa Clara and Heritage in the East Bay — the latter a thrilling 51-50 win that avenged an earlier loss.
"Once we got the first win at Amador Valley, the players really bought in to the idea that anyone can win the NorCal Championships," White said.
Against Berkeley, Oak Ridge guard Ali Bettencourt, who averaged 22.5 points per game in the first three NorCal games, nailed two three-pointers to give her team an early 8-0 lead but the Yellow Jackets had too much and advanced to play Long Beach Poly for the state title.
"They gave it everything they had," said White after Saturday's game. "They fought back. We're proud of everybody here."
One of Saturday's key moments shown repeatedly on one Sacramento TV station was Lauren Liebert's three-pointer with 1:11 left in the fourth quarter that cut the Yellow Jackets' lead to 51-41.
That trey was more than special for Liebert. In January 2011, Liebert went through knee surgery, re-injured her knee last May and had a second surgery a month later.
"Her goal at the beginning of the year was to step on the floor," White said.
When asked about her three-pointer, Liebert fought through her emotions.
"It felt great," Liebert said. "Just being able to play again has always been my dream since the beginning of the season, to step on the court."
Liebert was one of four seniors along with Haley Anderson, Nikki Dow and Jenna Ford. Other members of this year's squad were: Bettencourt, Jenn Hoffman, Celeste Vitolas, Yumi Drossos, Sydney Stigerts, Michelle Barkley, Gabby Flores, Shelby Peters, Grace Derksen, Isamar Conde, Jessica Maglietta, Lauren Gaddis and Saraya Smith.

U.S. to Receive Canadian HEU Waste
A heavily guarded shipment of bomb-grade uranium waste is due to make its way from a Canadian medical isotope production site near Ottawa to the Savannah River Site in South Carolina, the Ottawa Citizen reported on Sunday.
A number of watchdog organizations have voiced concern over plans to move highly enriched uranium -- apparently taken from the Fissile Solution Storage Tank at the Chalk River site -- in liquid form for the first time. The material would require close management to ensure it does not start a potentially hazardous chain reaction.
The Savannah River Site will convert the material into low-enriched reactor fuel.

Whenever my brother or I walk in a mall and we smell buttery-cinnamon, all good intentions go out the window and we immediately follow the scent to the nearest Cinnabon. And we don't only buy one Cinnabon each, we buy a few. Way too many to actually consume in one sitting, but the way they are lined up, all glistening, sugary and rich just makes us swoon.
I know the proper cinnamon bun dough is made with yeast but I just could not be bothered with all that fuss so I decided to use some puff pastry instead. And it worked pretty well. They weren't as bread-y as I'm used to but the flavours were spot on but I did promise my brother to try the proper dough soon. I wish I had a way to make these super healthy but there's just no getting around all the butter and sugar so I suggest you make these when you are ready to indulge! And worry about the guilt the next day! (and maybe only live off water for a few days)
And not only am I giving you a recipe for Easy Cinnamon Buns, I'm also giving you the chance of winning a copy of "Potty : Clarissa's ONE POT Cookbook" by Clarissa Dickson Wright. Clarissa is best known as one half of the fabulous "Two Fat Ladies" along with Jennifer Paterson who sadly passed away mid-way through their fourth season in 1999. This book is filled with fabulous one-pot dinners and unlike most other cookbooks, are very budget friendly. Recipes like Bacon & Egg in a mug, Chicken in Coconut Milk and Lamb curry all look delicious, comforting and filling. And I wouldn't expect anything else from Clarissa.
To stand a chance of winning this fabulous book, comment on this post and tell me which food challenges you will be setting yourself for this year. I'd also like to know when you would like to have done this challenge by. The person that I feel is setting themselves the biggest challenge will win the book. Only residents of RSA need enter. The competition ends Tuesday, 25 January 2011 and the winner will be announced Wednesday, 26 January 2011.
Makes 12 Cinnamon Buns
1 roll, pre-made puff pastry
125g unsalted butter
1/2 cup caster sugar
2tbsn cinnamon
5tbsn icing sugar, sifted
1tbsn cold water
- Pre-heat the oven to 180°c.
- Roll the puff pastry out only slightly thinner than it already is.
- Spread the softened butter over the pastry and sprinkle over the caster sugar and cinnamon.
- Roll the pastry up into a long sausage and slice into 3-4cm slices.
- Line a baking sheet with baking paper and spray with non-stick spray.
- Place the cinnamon buns on the tray, spiral facing up (like in the picture)
- Bake for 15-20 minutes until the pastry is golden and flaky.
- Combine the icing sugar and water and drizzle over the cinnamon buns as soon as they come out of the oven.

One of my USB Sticks just kind of broke and now it's name and all file names consist of pretty much random characters, like
I did some research and its probably my file table that is gone, but I'm not too sure about that since the device name is also affected. I tried to repair the device with windows 8 repair tools (chkdsk etc.), however they say there is no problem. My files are safe i guess since i managed to get them off the USB stick with PhotoRec, however I'd rather repair that device as well.
So: Is that USB stick hardware is broken or still safe to use? If safe to use, how can i fix it? It would be nice if the files would not go down the drain, but if there's no way around it deleting everything on it is fine as well. I tried saving it with TestDisk, but I didn't manage to make it work.
The drive looks like this

Keep public consultation serious and transparent
Peter Kammerer says public consultation needs to be more transparent, and reserved for only the most important community issues
Peter Kammerer
Most Popular
Those of us who pay taxes, vote and obey laws should have already fulfilled our civic duties. Not so, says the government. We also need to participate in public consultations: lots of them. With the recent closing of one on intangible cultural heritage, there are 10 to make views known on.
Participation is not compulsory in our society of part-democracy. Nor would many of us have an interest in much of what gets put forward. Elsewhere, they would be capably handled by lawmakers and civil servants. But Hong Kong is awash with public funds and governed by people unwilling to make the decisions they are paid so handsomely to carry out.
I long believed authorities thought the consultations were necessary to compensate for the lack of full universal suffrage. But when the narrowly focused topics of some of the consultations are considered, this can hardly be the reason. One at the moment, for renewal of PCCW's domestic pay television programme service licence, can be of interest only to subscribers and other TV providers. Deepening the mystery is why the substantially more important matter of which companies should be awarded free-to-air TV licences was left entirely in the hands of the Executive Council.
Questions about whether viewers are satisfied with the programming of TVB and ATV would have not only been informative for authorities, but also made for entertaining reading. I am not so sure that this is what will be obtained from responses to the current opinion-gathering exercises on the "2014 Digital 21 Strategy", the findings of the task force on external lighting, a monorail network for Kowloon East or review of the patent system.
This is not to belittle the public consultation process. The majority of the issues presently open for views are important to Hong Kong and the community. We are also being asked for opinions on a harbourfront authority, population policy, municipal solid waste charging, a long-term housing strategy and testing of people suspected of taking drugs and their referral for treatment. They are all arguably matters worthy of opinion-taking before being considered by policymakers and legislators.
Where it all falls down, though, is that the process lacks transparency. Rarely are we given a detailed breakdown of the responses and how many and who participated. Sometimes, decisions we should have been consulted on are made without public input.
Public consultation could be a worthwhile practice even were we to have universal suffrage - but it should not by any means be a necessity. Rather, it should be reserved for the most important community matters. With lawmakers earning HK$80,000 a month plus expenses and government ministers and civil servants among the highest paid in the world, we should be making people in public office earn what we pay them to do.
If they are unable to deliver, we can let them know what we think of them through the media and other channels of objection; when we get to elect them, they can be thrown out of office. Stumping up even more than we already do through holding unnecessary consultations wastes valuable time and resources.

I have had in numerous time 'whistling' on this subject too. But I will be less polite this time. More honest to my feeling which unfortunately more truly to the reality.
Let me say Hong Kong is governed by the conglomerates which Government is just a well oiled machine to carry out their needs and wants. The system is so well run that not even a meeting needs to take place. It is a win-win system for the conglomerates and government. It is a culture of collusion in silence – act first and reward later even in assuring a good government retirement package (the colonial officials).
Where do you think the profits coming from for the conglomerates? Where do you think government's surplus has been coming from? Yes, all from the dummies they like us to believe what we are.
And yes, that very much means the functional constituencies. The DAB alliance can push funding for anything they want through LegCo as long as the functional constituencies are on board. And as long as the government doesn't step on any of their toes, ensures their perks are safe and their cushy jobs high and dry, they will.
What the real public, in terms of the people in the street or even 'just' those affected by the proposed monorail/waste policy/whatever-topic-du-jour thinks, is irrelevant. That will get buried in the appendix of the resulting report. If there is a report at all indeed.
Welcome to the Hong Kong SBR.
Was there a "no, do not implement", in the public consultation for national education or article 23?
Was there a public consultation on the number of TV licenses to issue?

'Top Gun' To Be Converted To 3D, Tom Cruise Classic To Be Revamped In 3D
It's good news for those who have the need for speed: The 1986 hit, "Top Gun" will be converted to 3D and rereleased in theaters.
A four-minute clip of the updated film - the 'Danger Zone' aerial scene - premiered at the International Broadcasting Convention (IBC) in Amsterdam on Monday.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, "Top Gun" is slotted for 3D release in early 2012, pending Tony Scott's approval.
The film is being converted by Legend3D. CEO Rob Hummel believes the flying flick is perfectly suited to the medium.
"We think there is great potential for catalog titles in 3D, but studios have had trouble justifying the expense, I think "Top Gun" lends itself to 3D due to the aerial flight," he said.
