Project Title: Evaluating the Impacts of Climate Change and Land Use in the Western United States
Mendenhall Fellow: Michael W. Kerwin, (303) 236-7870, email@example.com
Duty Station: Denver
Start Date: November 1, 2001
Education: Ph.D. (Geology), 2000, University of Colorado
Research Advisor: Robert S. Thompson, (303) 236-5347, email@example.com
Project Description: This project is designed to produce coherent, high-resolution records of climate and environmental change from new and existing data in arid regions of the western United States. Aspects of the investigation include updating the record of lake level fluctuations in pluvial basins of the western United States since the last glacial maximum (21,000 years ago), and comparing these data to other proxies of climate and environmental change in the region (that is, pollen, isotopic, and geochemical data). The resulting records will be organized and mapped is such a way that they can be used to evaluate how well the latest global and regional climate models predict past fluctuations in Earth's climate. Such exercises are essential to verify that state-of-the-art climate models (that will be used to predict the magnitude of future changes) can in fact simulate past conditions when climatic forcings and feedbacks were very different from today.

Hollywood movies continue to deliver powerful pro-tobacco messages to young audiences and pose a critical risk to kids in the U.S. today. Studies show that on-screen tobacco use is responsible for hundreds of thousands of young people beginning to smoke every year, making movies a toxic product to the health of teens.
It is irresponsible for Hollywood to continue to feature tobacco use in films rated for children and teens.
Since 1999 Hollywood has released at least 500 movies rated G, PG, and PG-13 that prominently featured smoking. Altogether, U.S. films with tobacco imagery — 75 percent of all U.S. releases — have delivered an estimated 44 billion tobacco messages to theater audiences in the United States alone, one-quarter of these to children and adolescents.
For years leading U.S. health groups and the United Nation's World Health Organization have urged Hollywood to take voluntary steps to reduce youth exposure to tobacco imagery on screen. Studies have projected that on-screen tobacco recruits 390,000 new teen smokers each year in the U.S.
Researchers also believe that tobacco in films may be more psychologically engaging than a cigarette advertisement, and may have a bigger impact on youth's smoking attitudes and their intent to smoke.
Each year 300 movies are reviewed and rated for their tobacco content and the Hackademy Awards showcases the results. The main focus of the night was to have an enjoyable evening as well as to educate the youth attendees on advertising of smoking in movies. The Hackademy Awards is sponsored by Breathe California of Sacramento-Emigrant Trails. This group is working hard to educate people and stop the promotion of tobacco products in cinemas.
I believe grassroots efforts like these are important. Parents need to know that smoking in movies can have a powerful influence on their kids. I encourage parents to talk with their children, know the movies they are going to see, and check out scenesmoking.org for a listing of smoking and tobacco product placement in current movies.
Smoking has no place in movies meant for kids.

Kristen Stewart
Kristen Stewart is an American actress. She is best known for her role as Bella Swan in the Twilight Saga: Twilight, New Moon, & Eclipse. Recently starred in The Runaways. Kristen Stewart is currently dating costar Robert Pattinson.
Bella Thorne thinks Kristen Stewart is "hot".
The 19-year-old actress - who came out as bisexual in August 2016 - has admitted to having a crush on the 'Twilight' star and revealed she would love to date her.
Bella shared: "She's so hot. She seems like the raddest chick, I'd be so down."
But the 'Shake It Up' star admitted fame has made her dating life much more complicated, saying she can't even socialize with a friend without people assuming they're in a relationship.
Bella told the new issue of Harper's Bazaar magazine: "Even if I'm not dating somebody, even if we're just seen hanging out, he must be my boyfriend and we're moving in and holy s**t we're getting married ... I want to go ice skating and I want to ride dirt bikes or do something dope as a date, but I can't."
Rupert Sanders has called his affair with Kristen Stewart a "momentary lapse".
The married 'Snow White and the Huntsman' director had an affair with the 26-year-old actress - who was dating Robert Pattinson at the time - on the set of the 2012 movie but he has now branded their dalliance as a "mistake".
He told the Metro newspaper: "You never know what's coming in life. Around every corner, there's something unexpected, and that's life. You just have to brush yourself off and continue moving forward the best you can. Everyone makes mistakes.
"I am bound to make more mistakes, and I wouldn't expect my life to be exciting if I didn't. If you took people off the table for a momentary lapse, there would be no one making art."
Never one to divulge too much about her personal life, Kristen Stewart made a surprise move when she confirmed she's in a relationship with Alicia Cargile in her cover story for the August 2016 issue of ELLE UK magazine.
The "Snow White and the Huntsman" hottie explained, "Right now I'm just really in love with my girlfriend. We've broken up a couple of times and gotten back together, and this time I was like, 'Finally, I can feel again.'"
Kicking off the week with some media duties, Kristen Stewart showed up at Rockefeller Center in New York City on Monday night (July 11).
The "Snow White and the Huntsman" hottie was in the house to plug her new movie "Café Society" on "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon," and before she knew it she was playing an intense round of Jello Shot Twister.
Taking care of some promotional duties, Kristen Stewart showed up at the Los Angeles premiere of her new film "Equals" at the ArcLight on Thursday night (July 7).
Joined by Nicholas Hoult and Jacki Weaver, the "Twilight Saga: New Moon" darling was all smiles as she posed for the paparazzi before heading inside.
Lending her unique beauty to Karl Lagerfeld's latest project, Kristen Stewart is the star of the just-released clips for the "Paris in Rome" range from Chanel.
The "Twilight Saga: New Moon" actress has been working with the French fashion house since 2013, having expanded from strictly apparel into eyewear and makeup spots.
Actress Kristen Stewart's new supernatural drama has become the first film to receive boos instead of applause at this year's Cannes Film Festival.
The 26-year-old Cesar Award-winning star reteamed with her Clouds of Sils Maria director Olivier Assayas for Personal Shopper, in which she plays a fashion stylist attempting to speak to the ghost of her dead brother, but the pair's latest project doesn't look like it will as acclaimed as their last.
Following up his success on "Life of Pi," director Ang Lee is back with yet another emotionally-rich project titled "Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk."
Based on the book of the same name, the film "tells the story of a group of soldiers who return home from Iraq for a victory tour at their town's Thanksgiving Day football game halftime show. But through flashbacks, it's revealed that the realities the men faced in war weren't as triumphant as their friend's and family's perceptions."
Gearing up for their big premiere, the cast of "Café Society" arrived for a photocall at the 2016 Cannes Film Festival today (May 11).
Writer/director Woody Allen was joined by Kristen Stewart, Kristen Stewart, Jesse Eisenberg and Corey Stoll as he posed for the shutterbugs and chatted with the press.
It's always exciting to see what writer/director Woody Allen has been up to, and his latest flick "Café Society" has a brand new trailer that's chock full of stars.
Featuring the likes of Kristen Stewart, Blake Lively, Jesse Eisenberg, Steve Carell, Anna Camp, Corey Stoll and Kelly Rohrbach, the Amazon Studios project opens July 15th.

Get more Management Tips at lynda.com.
In my first weekly episode of Management Tips, I'll examine the perils of micromanaging. Many bosses are overcontrolling: instead of focusing on defining great outcomes for their team to achieve, they go further and define and monitor how the work is completed. Most of the time that's the wrong move; the goal is to manage outcomes, not the process.
When you overcontrol the process, you're not helping as much as you think. What you're doing is relying on dangerous assumptions about your team. You assume they need to be watched. You assume they can't be trusted, and perhaps that you're smarter then they are. You assume that something will go wrong if you don't intervene frequently—and quite often these assumptions are simply wrong.
Instead, choose to be successful and earn your team's respect. You can do that by adopting a different set of assumptions: that your hiring system is decent, you staffed the team correctly, your guidance is sound, and you have more pressing matters to address. Now that's a set of assumptions that will get you focused on moving forward with work that only you can do.
The time to micromanage is when your team gives you great cause—never before.
Here's another common assumption: that you only manage your staff. Wrong! Watch this week's members-only video to find out why the most important person you'll ever manage is your own boss.

Town of Tonawanda teen alerts family to house fire, as all five escape safely
A 14-year-old Town of Tonawanda boy woke up in the rear family room of his house to flames early Thursday morning. Initially paralyzed with fear, Dillon Guenther quickly regained his composure and alerted his family.
As a result, all five members of his family safely escaped from their two-story home on Belmont Avenue. But their eight pets died in the blaze.
The fire caused about $100,000 in damage to the house and $100,000 more to the contents.
"I'm so thankful Dillon woke up and we all got out," said Heidi Guenther, the teen's mother, who stood across the street from the heavily damaged house they moved into last October. "It happened so fast."
The fire at the home on Belmont between Englewood and Cortland avenues was only a couple of blocks away from Ellwood Volunteer Fire Company, whose members responded just before 5:30 a.m. and knocked down the main blaze in about 20 minutes.
The cause of the fire started remains under investigation, Ellwood Fire Chief Gary J. Stuff said.
"There's a lot of structural damage to the rear of the building," said Stuff, who was uncertain whether demolition would be required. "A fire investigator is in the house."
A Kenmore West High School student, Dillon said he was having difficulty sleeping Wednesday night and moved from the couch to a recliner before he finally drifted to sleep. Then he suddenly awoke.
"For some odd reason, I just woke up. I saw the flames in the back left corner of the room. They were about 6 or 7 feet away," Dillon said between bites of a breakfast sandwich given to him by an aunt, who also brought along a pair of new sneakers for him.
"A neighbor said my senses must have woke me. At first, I couldn't move. Then I jumped up and ran toward the stairs and shouted, 'There's a fire.' No sooner had I said it, and the smoke alarm went off."
"I hope they fit," the aunt said of the sneakers, but that wasn't a big concern for Dillon, who was heartbroken because Harrison, the family's pet Pomeranian, died in the fire, along with six cats and a rabbit named Franklin.
"My stepfather tried to get back in the house to get Harrison, but it was too hot," Dillon said.
"Thank God, Dillon woke us up," said Bill Guenther, his stepfather. "All that matters is, we got out safely."
The family's other children were identified as Billy, 4, and Corey, 2. The Red Cross was called to assist the family who won't be able to stay in their home any time soon.
The Guenthers said they would be staying with relatives.
Billy, packed up into a car to head to a relative's home, refused to leave until his older brother gave him a hug.
Dillon excused himself for a moment from being interviewed, walked over to the car and bent into the back seat and gave the little boy a big hug.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 28/7/2010 (2556 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Something from the electronic mail bag:
I still am unsure of this Blue Bombers team. There seems to be a lot of optimism, but yet they're only 2-2 and have yet to beat a team with a winning record. Is .500 a reasonable record? Are they better than that? Thanks, John.
Join the club, John. For as good as they looked against Edmonton, they looked equally as bad against the Tiger-Cats the week before.
Personally, I think the jury is still out on these guys. Until they show against a team with a better record, it's hard to label them.
Are they better than the teams below them (B.C., Hamilton, Edmonton)? Possibly. Are they better than Toronto, Montreal, and Saskatchewan? Maybe. The Calgary game on Saturday should give us a better understanding.
Every time I think I have an idea of how this Winnipeg club is going to perform before a game, they do the exact opposite. I thought they would lose to the Ticats in Week 1 (they won). Then I thought they would beat Toronto (they didn't). I thought they'd give Hamilton a better game than they did in Week 3, and I thought the Eskimos would handle them last Saturday. Wrong on both counts.
Bottom line when trying to figure out this team: Wait 10 minutes. The forecast could change.
Notes from Wednesday's practice:
- Right off the bat: Coach Paul LaPolice said there's a 90 per cent QB Steven Jyles will start Saturday. No surprises there. Buck Pierce wasn't in pads and only tested the right knee occasionally.
- Looks like DE Armond Willis will be in the line-up, replacing Odell Willis (no relation) at the end of the defensive line. The team has been tight-lipped regarding Odell's absence, saying Tuesday it was a "personal matter" before upgrading to this statement today: "The matter concerning Odell Willis is a private issue and there will be no further comment from the Winnipeg Football Club."
- Punter Mike Renaud did not participate in the workout, leading to speculation that K Alexis Serna will handle both the place-kicking and punting duties against Calgary Saturday. LaPolice said Renaud (knee) will be evaluated as the week moves along here.
- More injury news: KR Markus Howell (hamstring) and SB Terrence Edwards (back) did not participate today. Special teams captain Shawn Gallant (knee) has been placed on the nine-game injured list. No decision on the playing status of LB Marcellus Bowman (hand) has been made.

Marion Cotillard's Lady Dior Handbag Ad: First Look!
Posted Friday October 28, 2011 8:11 AM GMT
She's parlayed her acting success into a lucrative modeling side gig, and Marion Cotillard looks fabulous in her new Christian Dior ad campaign.
The Oscar-winner did a photo shoot with photographer Steven Klein at a John Lautner-designed house in the Hollywood Hills recently.
And in the shots, she's posing with a multi-colored crocodile Lady Dior handbag and wearing a beautiful-yet-understated black top with a long, flowing curly coif.
Marion's advertisements are scheduled to run in the International Herald Tribune and Financial Times next month, and various magazines in the month of December.

i finaly got my new tank up and running. I got a hold of two khuli loaches, one stripped, one black. The stripped one was a bit lazy, and didnt seem to be to active. He died a few days later. But since they were the last two in the shop, i just thought, oh well...u gotta have some fish deaths eventualy.
The black one has been alive and thriving ever since. I had to go away for a week on a training coarse, and left the fish in the perfect care of my mother.
I just got back today, to find the black loach has developed a white mark about 1/2 inch behind his dorsal fin (he is about 2.5 3 inches long atm).
the spot starts at the top, and goes down b

Doctors in Cambridge reckon they've found a way to cure peanut allergies for good, and they've set up a trial to test out their theory.
It's going to be the biggest trial ever to find a treatment for peanut allergies, which can cause serious medical issues like breathing problems.
They're going to give 104 sufferers aged seven to 17 tiny amounts of peanut every day to build up tolerance.
The trial will last for three years, and cost £1 million to do.
But if you are allergic to peanuts, don't try to test this theory yourself.
The research is being carried out by medical experts, and if you have an allergy to them it would be very dangerous to try to eat them on your own.
It isn't the first time doctors have tested this theory.
Last year Ricky investigated this peanut allergy cure
Last year Ricky went to meet some kids who were testing it out by eating small amounts of peanut flour each day, and said they thought they were cured.
Doctors slowly increased the amount over six months so they became less sensitive to the nuts, and in the end were eating five a day.

Clancy's Irish Pub closes in Wheat Ridge
While other bars around town were getting ready to celebrate Cinco de Mayo, Clancy's Irish Pub was pouring its last beer on Sunday. After that, the Wheat Ridge saloon closed its doors for good; the building where it's been housed for over four decades is slated for redevelopment. See also:
While the beer is no longer flowing, the memories are still pouring out on Clancy's Facebook page, where Steve Zielinski posted this photo and wrote:
Hard to believe I will never walk through this door again. Clancy's was more than just a bar to me, it was family. So many great friendships forged here, far too many to tag everyone, but you know who you are. As they tear down this institution to build yet another monument to consumerism, I ask my Clancy's family to focus on all the great memories made here. They may be able to tear down the physical building, but Clancy's lives on in the hearts of each and every one of you. I love and thank you all for making this one of the best times in my life. Cheers!

It keeps raining outside. I wonder if there's a tropical storm or something heading this way. I'm up early drinking coffee, listening to The Cure's Disintegration and trying to nurse away this headache I've had since last night. There's nothing worse than going to bed and waking up with a headache. Divine punishment that is. What was my point again?
Last day in central Vietnam. Raining outside. The electricity on my computer keeps shocking me whenever I miss the "1" key. Awesome. Tomorrow morning back to Hanoi where I've picked up another few jobs before I leave for Tokyo and New York in t-minus one week. So no sleep until way after all that.
Just finished an afternoon resort shoot and now I'm settling into my new guesthouse in the old town of Hoi An in central Vietnam. I'll be photographing a travel story here for the next week or so. I've got some calls to make today and hopefully some people to meet either this afternoon or tomorrow. It's surface of the sun hot...

Ever concerned about the potentially devastating long-term effects of concussion, the AFL Players Association is urging a profound "cultural shift" in how footballers measure toughness among themselves.
While the AFL's response to a growing concern in sport globally has seen stricter rules introduced in recent years to manage head injury, AFLPA general manager Ian Prendergast highlighted on the eve of a new season the key role players had in protecting themselves.
The former Carlton player, who is aiming to replace Matt Finnis as AFLPA CEO, said that while there were well-entrenched attitudes to break down, he was confident education and increased coverage of the delicate issue was reprogramming AFL footballers.
"It's a cultural shift we need to achieve," Prendergast told Fairfax Media.
"It's not courageous to continuing playing following a concussion, in fact it's crazy based on what we know about the impact that a secondary concussion can have on a player's long-term health.
"A player would be mad if he hid concussion symptoms from his doctor.
"And it's also up to players to help send a strong message to their teammates that it's in their best interests to be completely honest and upfront about any incidents they are involved in to ensure they can be properly assessed and supported.
"Previously there's been this blind courage around continuing to play following a concussive incident. I think we've made some really good gains in recent years, but clearly there's still some work to do.
"Players instinctively will have a real hunger for the contest and we completely understand that's going to continue to exist. But you hope now they have a heightened awareness of the need to act appropriately in relation to any concussions that they suffer. They need to understand that these measures help protect them from themselves."
Prendergast acknowledged it was still virtually unheard of for AFL footballers to publicly discuss their anxieties around concussion and how it might affect them in later life, saying there was "still a certain stigma" about it.
Jude Bolton, recently retired from the Sydney Swans and revered in the industry as one of the most courageous players in the modern game, has detailed openly his deep and ongoing concern about how the multiple concussions he has suffered could affect him in future.
Meanwhile, the AFL, the AFLPA and the Florey Institute of Neuroscience and Mental Health are soon to unveil a joint partnership that will see all past players gaining access to expert assessment and support related to head injuries. As part of the collaboration, past players will be surveyed and, if any issues emerge that may be related to concussion, they will be referred to a variety of experts and undergo advanced brain scanning at the Florey Institute.
In 2011, ex-Melbourne player Daniel Bell revealed he'd been diagnosed with brain damage that had been linked by experts to more than 20 concussions he experienced. At the time, he said he'd felt embarrassed and anxious about side-effects such as memory loss and poor concentration, and so remained silent about his deteriorating day-to-day condition while he was at the Demons, only sharing his concerns with his girlfriend.
Other known cases where concussion has adversely affected ex-AFL footballers in later life include West Coast hero Dean Kemp, former Magpie, Adelaide and West Coast player Chad Rintoul, and Sydney and Carlton Brownlow medallist Greg Williams.
Rintoul is one who has repeatedly called on the AFL to make it mandatory for any player who has suffered from concussion to have at least one week off.
Every AFL player now receives education about concussion every year. As a consequence, Prendergast said AFLPA player delegates and club captains were "really taking some ownership over the culture that exists in their football club" around the matter.
"This is an ongoing process to ensure that continues to be the case because we know that instinctively players are very courageous," he said.
"They just need to take a commonsense approach to dealing with what is a very serious issue."

Global Mark : 10.81
Ratings by criteria :
Ratings by backpackers :
Comments : For most travelers, Urumqi is only a quick stopover on
the way to more attractive sights
What to do : See impressive mommies / Organize your trip ahead as some destinations have to be booked well in advance / Relax in the parks in the morning / Do roller coaster in the parks in the afternoon / Forget in the swimming pool that Urumqi is the world's furthest city from the sea /
What you may not like : The cost of most accommodations / The busy and noisy streets / The double price for some bus tickets (especially at the Main Bus Station) / The pushing at the train station as there is no queuing lines /
How long ? Before and after Tianchi or while waiting for your plane or bus...
Hotels << Get precise info, book online and save money !
Near the Tianchi buses :
Near the train station :
Notes : To Kashgar : from Kashgar Bus Station near the Train Station, one air cond... bus every two days at the same price, double price from the main Bus Station (5pm) / To Turpan : from Turpan Bus Station / To Tianchi : from the North entrance of Renmin Park /To Almaty, daily except Saturday / To Xuqa, Hami, Altai or Yining : special "laowai" prices at window No8 !
Trains << Click there
Note : The South Xinjiang Railway line from Urumqi to Kashgar was officially open on December 6, 1999. It should prove to be a good alternative to the 30 hours bus ride...
You have no real choice : the departure time is once a day at around 9:30 and you have to purchase a return ticket that is only valid for the day... If you spend some nights in Tianchi (what the Chinese tourists fortunately do not do too much), you will have to buy another ticket. You however have the choice of small (25Y) or big buses (20Y). With the small buses, make sure that they go all the way up the lake (some might stop at the ticketing office, 4km away). With the big bus, there is no worry as you buy your entrance ticket (Y24) and insurance (2Y) with your bus ticket... The fact that the big bus takes longer is also not a big deal considering the nice scenery along the way, once out of Urumqi's suburbs...
There is another option for Tianchi but it is not an easy one : take a bus to Fukang (every 10mn, 1h30, 5Y) and then change for an infrequent bus to Tianchi (10Y). Buses to Fukang are leaving from the Fukang Bus Station, in the North of town (at Bus No101 terminus). This way, you can avoid spending a night in Urumqi on your way from Turpan to Tianchi but it is still advisable to arrive in Fukang early (say around noon) to guarantee a connecting bus. Considering the fuss, it might make more sense to spend one day in Urumqi to see the sights and buy (or reserve) your onward train or plane ticket...
The trip to Lanzhou : Train No508 / Night & SS / Y216 / 34 hrs
An old but cheap train for a long long journey back to China... Store on snacks before leaving.

Additional Info
|Also Known As
|Cardiac C-Reactive Protein (CRP), Cardiac CRP, CRP, Cardiac, CRP, High Sensitivity, High-sensitivity CRP.
|No Fasting Required.
|Test Type
|Test Results
|1-2 days
There are no fasting requirements associated with the CRP blood test. Unless specifically instructed otherwise, the patient may eat and drink, as well as take most medications and supplements, before coming to the lab for testing. Some medications, including the painkillers ibuprofen and acetaminophen, can affect test results. Individuals should be sure to tell their doctors about what medications they are taking and ask if the medications can be taken the day of the test. One other consideration when preparing for this blood test is to know that the test is often ordered in combination with other blood tests that do require fasting. Patients should make sure that they are aware of all of the blood tests that will be performed. If another blood test does require fasting, the patient may fast for this test without negatively affecting the CRP blood test results.
Why It Is Used
The CRP blood test, also known as the C-reactive protein blood test, is used to evaluate the level of inflammation in the body. The test is commonly ordered to monitor conditions such as arthritis, pelvic inflammatory disease, inflammatory bowel disease, and coronary artery disease. The test is also used to measure the presence of infection after surgery and the level of damage sustained from a heart attack.
How It Works
CRP (C-reactive protein) is a protein that is released into the blood stream when there is inflammation or injury in the body. The C-reactive protein blood test is often used to assess risk of coronary artery disease and heart disease. In coronary artery disease the coronary arteries start to swell and narrow. As this occurs more CRP is released into the blood, so high levels of CRP in the blood could indicate inflammation in the coronary arteries. This inflammation increases one's risk of the artery becoming completely blocked and causing a heart attack. However, a high level of CRP in the blood does not specifically indicate that the inflammation is in the arteries – it could be anywhere in the body. For this reason, the C-reactive protein blood test is usually only ordered to assess heart attack risk when someone has already presented with other risk factors.
The C-reactive protein blood test can be used to aid in the diagnosis and treatment of a number of conditions, and results may be interpreted differently based on the how the test is being used. In general, though, a higher than normal level of CRP in the blood indicates that there is inflammation in the body.

Trend Report AW 10
RUSSH looks at the top trends of AW 10.
In the wake of the womanly casting agendas, appearing in full force throughout the season, there is indeed an unwritten memo circulating the industry. The anti-fashion sentiment. "It's refreshing to see something that isn't trying so hard to be new," Marc Jacobs said after his show. "There's so much striving for newness now that newness feels less new."

Amps and MS-8 installed!

Thank you Radar, I suppose a bit of clarity on my setup would help! (Sorry 'bout that)
From the radio I've got four channels out. This used to run into a four channel amp, which has now been replaced by the MS-8 and an MB Quart four channel amp. The MS-8 also feeds another MB Quart that powers the sub.
Since the BMW harness was already cut for the old amp, I simply re-made those splices and ran them into the MS-8 hi level input. Ch 1 = LF, Ch 2 = RF, Ch 3 = LR, Ch 4 = RR, Ch 5/6 = Sub.
During the MS-8 xover setup, the fronts are seen (i.e. I can set the type, one way in this case as they have their own crossover) but when I get to the rear the MS-8 reports (none), and this is the only option I have.
After I've completed the setup the fronts are working, but I've got nothing from the rears.
And yes, I've individually taped all the unused inputs!
