Frame S, Cohen P. GSK3 takes centre stage more than 20 years after its discovery. Biochem J. 2001 Oct 1;359(Pt 1):1-16. PubMed Abstract
Given the phenotype of the parental transgenic mouse strains, and of other strains as published, comparing them to the current presented double-transgenic strain brings up some interesting questions.
First,... Read more
First, the criteria used here to define increased CDK5 activity as pathological are biochemical and histological in nature. No mention is made of neurotoxicity or neuronal loss, defects in LTP or cognition, deviations in behavior or in any other aspect that would indicate that more aggregated tau is bad for neuronal health (although certainly refraining from claiming that it is in any way good or healthy).
Second, both parental mouse strains suffer motoric and health problems at an early age: Whole-body exertion tremors in p25 mice at age four to nine weeks (Ahlijanian et al., 2000) and absence of escape extension at age 6.5 months in hemizygous tau-P301L mice (Lewis et al., 2000). These phenotypic aspects appear to be missing (completely?) in the double-transgenic mice analyzed here, despite their advanced age of 12 months. Could that mean that moderately increased CDK5 activity has the same effect as moderately increased GSK3β activity, namely rescue of the motoric problems (Spittaels et al., 2000)?
Third, the relative levels of kinases and their site of action, both in terms of subcellular site and in brain regional site, will be determining their actual activity and specificity. For CDK5 and GSK3β to induce or promote "tau pathology" as defined by intraneuronal tau aggregates might indeed require "complexes" of some sort, as tentatively identified and proposed by the authors. And I also agree with them when they state that we need to implement in the models the actual—and still elusive—link of increased tau phosphorylation to amyloid (or vice versa, depending on your school of thought …) (Terwel et al., 2002).

Although in the discussion it is stated that the other mouse models and fly models are at odds, or inconclusive, they actually are quite in line with these current findings. The one fly model that explores the role of phosphorylation (Jackson et al., 2002) shows that both tau dysregulation and dysregulation of kinase activity (in this case GSK3β, but I suspect CDK5 would be similar) are needed to form NFTs, and that altered kinase activity alone, or wild-type tau overexpression alone, are insufficient. This current paper shows that hyperactive kinase accelerates NFT formation, just as it does in the fly.
Quite importantly, this demonstrates nicely a role for CDK5 in addition to the previously demonstrated role for GSK3β in NFT formation. It also... Read more
Quite importantly, this demonstrates nicely a role for CDK5 in addition to the previously demonstrated role for GSK3β in NFT formation. It also confirms in vivo that CDK5 activation leads to GSK3β activation, by a mechanism that has yet to be uncovered. From a therapeutic standpoint, this work supports continued development of treatments focused on kinase inhibition. However, given the multifaceted roles of these kinases, the potential toxicity of GSK3β or CDK5 inhibition remains an issue. View all comments by Daniel Geschwind
There is, however, a wrinkle to this conclusion. An earlier study by Spittaels et al. showed that constitutive overexpression of human GSK3β in tau-transgenic mice actually reduced the axonal pathology. On the other hand, Lucas et al. observed that conditional expression of Xenopus GSK3β in mice promoted tau hyperphosphorylation and neurodegeneration. Although these differences could be explained by differences in the experimental designs (constitutive vs. conditional expression of transgene, species and strain differences, etc.), these observations exhibit the complexities of interpreting data from transgene studies.
Finally, the "AβPpists" might wonder what connection AβPP or Aβ might have to these observations. One possibility suggested by the observations of Town et al. is that Aβ stimulates p25 production in a calpain-dependent fashion. Increased levels of p25 will activate CDK5 (and indirectly GSK3β). Considering the "cross-talk" between various kinases, such a simple scenario probably represents oversimplification. Also, direct evidence supporting this chain of "cause-and-effect" remains lacking. Future studies focused on understanding the molecular mechanism by which p25 (and, therefore, activated CDK5) stimulates GSK3β will likely bring us a step closer to understanding tangle formation.

Transgenic mice are ideal for testing such hypotheses in vivo. Mice overexpressing p25 develop axonopathy and movement dysfunction, but the neurons show no evidence of neurofibrillary tangles (Ahlijanian et al., 2000; Bian et al., 2002), indicating that normal mouse tau is refractory to p25/CDK5-induced tangle formation. Noble and colleagues took the interesting step of crossing p25-transgenics (Ahlijanian et al., 2000) with mice expressing mutant human tau (4R0N, P301L mutation; Lewis et al., 2000). Tau in these dual-transgenic mice is hyperphosphorylated at sites linked to CDK5, and accumulates intraneuronally in several brain areas. The finding that phosphorylated sites are detectable on soluble tau (in addition to the insoluble aggregates) suggests that phosphorylation precedes, and thus may facilitate, atypical polymerization. These findings support the notion that activation of CDK5 (and, as the authors note, probably other kinases) contributes to the hyperphosphorylation and consequent autophilicity of tau in vivo. Surprisingly, the age of onset of dystonia seen in P301L mice was not noticeably advanced by the presence of the p25 transgene (nor is there yet evidence for frank neuronal loss). Perhaps older mice will show motoric (and, with luck, mnemonic) impairments.
The CDKs regulate a number of important cellular functions such as cell division, differentiation, and apoptosis. In fact, CDK inhibitors are being considered as therapies for cancer, atherosclerosis, and viral infections, among other disorders (Knockaert et al., 2002). Hence, for the treatment of chronic neurodegenerative disorders, highly selective and demonstrably safe inhibitors of CDK5 will be needed. When such agents are found, they will find fertile ground for preclinical efficacy testing in p25/P301L-dual transgenic mice. Ultimately, as with all new, disease-modifying approaches, only clinical trials will prove the benefit of CDK5 inhibition for the treatment of AD and other tauopathies.

Truck Rams Dude At Car Wash
Some dude is walking into a local car wash when out of nowhere a car rams him. If this is real, I dont think he could of made it but this has fake written all over it.
Truck crashes are pretty much self explanatory; unless you've been living in seclusion all your life. To break it down a truck crash is: a large vehicle that transports goods colliding with other vehicles, objects or pedestrians. Truck crashes are just like car accidents, except that big rig truck crashes are almost always more interesting to look at. As you can see from the videos, trucks most commonly crash into buildings, bridges, multiple cars, pedestrians, cops, and can even over dividers.
Some dude is walking into a local car wash when out of nowhere a car rams him. If this is real, I dont think he could of made it but this has fake written all over it.
Due to the large size and power of trucks, the damage is much more devastating than it is with regular size cars.
Truck crashes happen for multitudes of reasons:
1. Trucks have many blind spots, making it harder for them to see their surroundings.
2. Braking issues, it's harder for a truck driver to stop the truck because of the slow reaction time.
3.Truck drivers are often drowsy or tired from days of driving, so they have a more difficult time concentrating on the road.
Although truck crashes are devastating, our curious nature makes them both fascinating and entertaining to watch. Truck crashes can happen anywhere at anytime; so keep your eyes open or just watch the videos on this page. If you want to witness a real live truck crash; monster truck rallies are your best bet at catching them live.

In general, any error or misconception.
In contract law, a situation where the parties did not mean the same thing when they agreed to a term or provision. Also, when at least one contracting party held a belief that was factually or legally false. As a result, the contract may be subject to modification or rescission.
In criminal law, a defense that claims either a misconception of the law or some fact. The defense of mistaking the law almost never succeeds. Mistakes of fact can work as a defense more often, especially if they are reasonable.
Definition from Nolo's Plain-English Law Dictionary
1) An error which causes one party or both parties to enter into a contract without understanding the obligations or results. Such a mistake can entitle one party or both parties to a rescission (cancellation) of the contract. A mistaken understanding of the law (as distinguished from facts) by one party only is usually not a basis for rescission. 2) An error as to facts or law made by a judge. Such errors may be harmless (not meriting a reversal) or material (a reversible error).

VIRTUAL DRUG TARGETING: A new simulation of the human metabolism could lead to better therapies for high cholesterol and diabetes

Sure, it is just on a computer but a new reconstruction of human metabolic activity, created by researchers at the University of California, San Diego, could revolutionize the study of how the body breaks down food into energy and assembles hormones and proteins to power biological processes crucial to daily life. The work could lead to new treatments that target common metabolic maladies such as high cholesterol and diabetes as well as hemolytic anemia, which occurs when red blood cells break down prematurely.
The research, the results of which are reported in this week's Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, was led by Bernhard Ø Palsson, who notes that the effort "took six people a year and a half" to complete. The reconstructed network covers 3,300 metabolic transformations that occur in tissue and cells as well as more than 2,000 metabolites. It was assembled using the penultimate model of the human genome released in late 2004, which accounts for 99.99 percent of human genes, according to Palsson. "This was nine man-years' worth of work. This is genome-enabled science, basically," Palsson says, adding that sourcing and collecting the previously published research probably accounted for at least two thirds of the time it took to build the network. "The result," he says, "is the first comprehensive reconstruction of the human metabolic map that is biochemically, genetically and genomically accurate or structured."
Among other things, the new map gives researchers the ability to pinpoint missing information about human metabolism. "We can actually computationally interrogate it to see what it can do and what it cannot do," Palsson says. And interrogate the team did, peppering their virtual model with nearly 300 known tasks, like synthesizing the hormones estrogen and melatonin from the raw materials of sugars and amino acids.
The model was able to perform almost all of the tasks. One job it failed at, however, was to build a pathway from sugars to the q10, a natural enzyme and functional food thought to provide benefits for cardiovascular disease. The researchers made up for the shortfall by filling the gap with information on q10 synthesis gleaned from rats or mice or some other model organism closely related to humans. Despite the hitch, Palsson insists these sorts of findings can actually be helpful. "A model like this just leads to a whole bunch of hypotheses about what's missing that then becomes a focused experimental effort," he explains.
Another use of the new system is the ability to study gene expression profiles to predict how patients may function after certain surgeries. In the paper, the team modeled the state of gene expression in skeletal muscle both before and six months after gastric bypass surgery (commonly known as stomach stapling). For the post-op patient the model came back with alarming news. "You can see that patients are basically in a starved state six months out," Palsson says. "Even if they are being fed, the restrictions of the stomach are such that it puts the body into a permanent starvation state."
He notes that if a physician were to run this simulation and find this was happening, he could devise a way to prevent it: "One [result] of this kind of study would be to help design a nutritional regimen for the patients."

It sucks but not in a good wayPros: Swivel steering Cons: No height adjustment for different floor types Other Thoughts: Misleading advertising. There is no way this vacuum will pull up a rug. Suction is very poor if you are not using the hose, even at the maximum suction setting. You will still have to move your bed to vacuum underneath as the handle/attachments are impossible to get flush to the floor unless you are laying down and continually twisting the hose right and left. For carpeting/rugs, you will be bent over holding the handle at approximately knee height in order to get the cleaner head to be flush to the carpeting. Very disappointing. Was going to return but I will pay more than $60 in re-stock and shipping. I do not recommend. Save your money and look for a better cleaner. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Best Vacuum I've UsedPros: Picks up Husky fur, Cat fur, lint and anything that is in the carpets or possibly under. We have been able to see and smell the difference since we have been using this Vacuum. After one year of use, and still working, it is by far one of the best sweepers I've used and my wife even over fills the canister when she uses. I keep the foam pad clean under the bin and have not seen any clogging issues at all. Cons: The canister does fill up quickly so it requires monitoring and constant emptying. We have several empty dog food bags that I use to fill with the dust and dander. Other Thoughts: Although the canister does require a lot of emptying, it has kept the house cleaner than many of the other upright units that I have ever had. It also didn't coast 500 or 700 dollars like I have seen a similar product advertized for. It is well worth the investment. If you keep up with it and keep it clean, you will not have any issues and it will clean your floors well. Did you find this review helpful? |
Mine was defectivePros: Can't tell because an essential part of the vacuum was defective Cons: I received my with a defective part. Typical of Chinese junk. No manual was included ( I suppose 170 bucks doesn't warrant a manual these days) so I don't know the exact name of the defective part. Its the elbow type connector that attaches to the rear of the canister and connects the flexible hose to the handle. I can see there are tabs in the canister end to hold the elbow in place but the elbow itself has is smooth and has nothing in there to hold it to the base. Something seems to be missing on mine. Other Thoughts: Should have spend the extra money for a nice, well-built made in America Riccar Did you find this review helpful? |
Have to pay to return a DOA product?Pros: Suction works Cons: Motor does not work. Other Thoughts: Bad enough the unit was DOA. Should not have to pay shipping on a unit defective right out of the box. 2 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Great vaccuumPros: Great vaccuum. Very light and easy to use. Very versitile. Cons: Not sure the price was that great. Just after i bought Walmart had the upgraded professional version on sale for just a few dollars more. Oh well Other Thoughts: Overall i am very pleased with this product. My wife is very petite and this vaccuum works awesome for her. Did you find this review helpful? |
powerful vacuum!Pros: This monster sucks everything as powerful as seem on the TV ad! Cons: none so far! Other Thoughts: good price comparing to the similar products with other brands! 0 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Effective but cheaply builtPros: Great at lifting dust and debris from rug. Cons: Cheaply constructed, Dust chamber too small, Cord ridiculously short. Dust chamber cleaning a messy affair. Expensive for level of build quality, accessories are junk. Other Thoughts: Should have stuck with a name brand and spent a bit more, don't think this one will last very long. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Great VacuumPros: - Great Suction Power Cons: - Tray fills up quickly due to the great suction power 0 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Love It!!!Pros: I love this vacuum... First day it was shipped, I have used it. Once I vacuumed my carpet, you can see the dirt pick up immediately. If I had enough to spend for my whole family, I would. First bag-less vacuum I ever have owned and I don't regret it. Cons: None 0 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Wow! This Vacuum Really Sucks!!Pros: Testing 3 different vacuums in the past week (Craftsman canister, Dyson upright and Shark NV352) there's no comparison. The Shark NV352 is a far superior vacuum, with a cost less than half that of the Dyson. Cons: Initially, the vacuum head appeared to be on the small side (Small Head...). However, when turning the NV352 on, the concern disappeared. Seeing just how much dirt/hair/crud was being sucked up, I was both impressed and a little embarrassed that I thought the carpet was clean. Other Thoughts: Based on the cost of the Shark NV352, the maneuverability, the suction and the overall excellent carpet cleaning ability, I would recommend this unit to anyone who has a desire to vacuum their home. It's not a professional vacuum cleaning unit but then again, most folks don't need one for their home 1 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? |

We were unable to find exact matches for your search for ""
You could also check your spelling, refinements or reduce the number of search terms.Nuun
nuun (pronounced 'noon') was originally the brainchild of a student and professor from the tuck school, dartmouth college's business program. New England was great for fall cycling, but the two became frustrated in their search for an electrolyte hydration solution to use in remote places. they longed for a lightweight, easily-dissolvable product that was free of carbohydrates. Dissatisfied by pre-made and powdered options on the market, they set about developing their own solution. the answer came in the form of a simple tab that would come to be known as "nuun". Fast forward a couple years, past endless sample versions (including those that dissolved slower than granite) and nuun is pioneering portable electrolyte hydration for athletes and those with active lifestyles. just drop a nuun tab in your water bottle whether running, cycling, hiking, adventure racing, kayaking, golfing, or traveling, and store the tube in your jersey pocket or pack.
nuun turns every water fountain into a source of optimal, balanced hydration.

Google "SPCA overcrowding" and it's obvious the problem of trying to house too many felines is not a problem exclusive to Kamloops, our province or even Canada.
Stories on the Internet show it has been an issue in Penticton, Kelowna and Victoria; in Alberta cities like Calgary and Medicine Hat; in Saskatchewan, Ontario, Nova Scotia and even New Zealand.
The videos and stories are predictably heart-breaking; who could not be moved by shots of cute, helpless kittens?
Obviously there are some people immune to the animals' plight, however, or we wouldn't hear stories like that of the local hunter finding five kittens abandoned in the bush with only their cat carrier and a wet blanket.
How someone could think that was a reasonable solution to not wanting the kittens is beyond understanding but we can guess at a few possible excuses: They had nowhere to take them as the shelter was full, they had tried to give them away, they couldn't afford to care for them, were moving . . .
To deal with overcrowding, SPCAs try many strategies like slashing adoption costs for a period of time, asking the public to consider adopting a pet, urging people to try to keep their cats when possible, and reducing spay and neuter fees to encourage owners to stop their pets from having more unwanted offspring.
The public often suggests the solution is to simply build larger shelters to house more unwanted animals.
But like everybody else, SPCAs are under funding constraints and the responsibility cannot fall solely upon the non-profit to find a magic solution. After all, estimates show that one cat and her offspring could produce 420,000 kittens in seven years.
The public can also help by keeping watch for irresponsible pet owners. If your neighbour, for example, is steadily putting out a "Free kittens" sign, consider asking them why they don't get their cat fixed and give them contact information for the SPCA's spay-and-neuter clinic in Kamloops. If you spot something that appears suspicious, report it to the SPCA so an officer can investigate.
Ultimately, the mindset that it is up to the SPCA to fix problems with animal overpopulations is wrong. They do as much as they can, but the public can make a difference, too.

DEVOTED Pendock couple Arthur and Rosemary Hill enjoyed a meal with their family as they celebrated their diamond wedding anniversary yesterday (Thursday).
The couple met in 1949 in Pensax, near Tenbury Wells, where Mrs Hill had grown up and her husband- to-be had just moved for a new job in the farming industry.
They married at Pensax Church in 1952 and came to Pendock in 1961, where they have remained happily since.
Mr Hill had to give up the farming trade after injuring his back but went on to enjoy a career working as an optical engineer at an opticians in Gloucester. Mrs Hill concentrated on raising their four children, Helen Jim, Rose and Dianne.
The couple, who also have eight grandchildren and one great grandchild, describe their family as their "pride and joy" and are planning a bigger celebration with them later in the year.
Mrs Hill said they were both very proud to have reached 60 years of marriage, and attributed it to always being there for each other.
"Whatever happens, the highs and the lows, we share it and are there for each other, and always will be," she said.

PHOTOS: The Distressing Worldwide Boom in Cosmetic Surgery
Photographer Zed Nelson traveled the world documenting how body improvement has practically become a new religion
- By Joseph Stromberg
- Smithsonian magazine, October 2012
(Zed Nelson / Institute)
Nelson's project began when he noticed, while travelling internationally, that global standards of beauty had become eerily homogenized: He saw skin-lightening products in Africa and surgical procedures to "Westernize" eyes in Asia. The popularity of rhinoplasty in Iran was especially apparent (Elham, 19, of Tehran, after her procedure).
"When I arrived in Iran, I was amazed," Nelson says. "My interpreter had had a nose job, as had her mother, her sister, and her two best friends. People were proudly walking in the streets with bandaged noses, excited to be the new owners of small, chiseled, American-style noses."

It's as if the young beauty queen and the older woman in this picture are trying to look the same age. Our faces, hair etc all have to be the same. Can't we even be different ages now ? How sad for the little girl and for the older woman.

The good doctor might consider a liposuction treatment of his own. His wife is no credit to his work either.
Posted by William Bergmann on October 30,2012 | 05:40 PM
I am going to defend my profession a little bit here. True, there are extremes. Cosmetic surgery is not for everyone. In my practice I have changed people's lives. I have had women run up to be in public thanking me. Of course, I work on ordinary everyday patients who just mostly want a little help to look better and enhance their natural beauty. I think what we have here is a systemic issue, as this photojournalist points out. Now that these procedures are possible, people will want them. Cosmetic surgery goes back to ancient times of Romans removing scars from their backs. The pursuit of beauty is not new. Dr Rhys Branman Little Rock Cosmetic Surgery Center

Ideal operational amplifier
The Op-Amp block models an ideal operational amplifier (op-amp). If the voltage at the positive pin is denoted by Vp, and the voltage at the negative pin by Vm, then an ideal op-amp behavior is defined by Vp = Vm. In other words, the op-amp gain is assumed to be infinite. By implication, the current from the Vp to the Vm terminal is zero.

Yes/no. All boards offer power-saving disabling and regular multi-clocking. It is best, however, to clock using Turbo itself, like the CPU does at stock. Some boards, when XMP is enabled, run all cores at the max turbo multi. Some do not. Most gamer-oriented and OC boards do though, no matter the brand. I recommend overclocking using Turbo. Don't forget, the game has changed considerably, and Intel will warranty overclocking, too. For a small cost($25 or so), Intel will replace your chip once, even if you give it 5000V. No questions asked. http://click.intel.com/tuningplan/ I hate to push marketing on you guys, but to me, this is worth it. Clock that chip up, pay the small cost, and don't worry about anything.
My voice go for 3770k. I love i7. 3570k is good for gaming if you change more often configuration but you never know when you need i7 for longer time. My 3700k OC similar like i7 SB. Only is hotter. 4.8GHz Linx 1.275V, Prime95 1.300V 12h Blend with 90-92% RAM. I didn't count 5.0GHz like some minus for IB, because that is more for i5 clock.
pretty simple, they test their memory on all Ivybridge chips It is Not a chip per chip basis. IMC is different on both.
And 2MB of cache disabled. .... I bought 2x of this memory: G.SKILL Sniper Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 2133 (PC3 17000) Desktop Memory Model F3-17000CL9D-8GBSR Capacity 8GB (2 x 4GB) Speed DDR3 2133 (PC3 17000) Cas Latency 9 Timing 9-11-10-28 Voltage 1.65V G.SKILL Sniper Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 S...
this is a good read http://www.anandtech.com/show/6372/...333-to-ddr32400-on-ivy-bridge-igp-with-gskill
It really is surprising how the timings make much more of a difference on DDR3, the CL9 2133 is pretty damn close to CL10 2400. No reviews of that Sniper memory I have, it's all the older ans slower versions.
The principal still applies, and thankfully you'll be able to use this knowledge to an advantage in your own overclocking
False, I have no problems with changing my multi with turbo-mode disabled. System specs for details(Barb's Domain)
As you like to overclock, I would get the previous 2700K instead, like I have. As you know, Ivy Bridge runs around 20C hotter when overclocked due to the inferior IHS. The IPC improvements are only around 5%, so the better overclock would more than make up for it with the 2700K. Also, I assume you won't be using the iGPU, making the improved version redundant. If you still want to go IB, then get the 3770K, no question. Yes, it's more expensive, but you do get a better chip with HT and heck, why does an enthusiast need a reason for getting the better part! My 2700K is running at 4.7GHz, because it's the sweet spot for heat, power, noise and CPU lifetime for me. However, it does go well over 5K even on air, if you're into hardcore overclocking. That will be difficult with IB, due to all that heat, likely forcing you to use water.
It is true about not having to disable turbo to OC, but that's not what you said. is in no way a correct statement. Let me retrack my last statement. By Qubit's post after this one, it appears that you may have to have turbo enabled on some boards, but not all of them.
You can't? I can OC in bios or in the MSI Control Center on my desktop and I have turbo-mode disabled. I actually went and disabled it after I first read DrDeath's statement about turbo needing to be enabled to OC. I disabled it and set my multi to 40 in bios to see if I could, and I could. I then changed my voltage in MSI CC with no problems. Maybe it depends on the MB's vendor.
That's really strange. I remember reading in reviews that turbo needs to be enabled for this, so the behaviour I see is consistent with that and is a design feature of the CPU. You can underclock it with turbo off though. I've only ever overclocked it through the bios, too. I have no idea why yours should be different.
Its more about fine tuning the turbo and making it turbo harder. you could disable it of course, but better it turbo when it really needs to rather then be running at full turbo even in mundane tasks such as browsing the internet or just listening to music.
Hi just upgraded to this and i am very happy, I have not tried overclocking yet as i am waiting for Intel Performance Tuning Protection Plan to arrive. Intel Core i5 3570K,1155, Ivy Bridge, Quad Core, 3.4GHz, Gigabyte GA-Z77X-UP5 TH Socket 1155 VGA DVI HDMI Dual Thunderbolt 7.1 Channel Audio ATX Motherboard 16GB (2x8GB) Corsair DDR3 Vengeance (1600mhz) 256GB Crucial RealSSD M4, 2.5" SATA
Don't matter with my rig considering it's always running at full load crunching. Gaming is actually a break/rest for my 2600k rig.
Im surprised that you thought you needed to pay for something like that. Id really only consider it if I was going for an EXTREME OC. going from 3.8Ghz to 4.6Ghz is well within the safety zone of the 3570k. Most people here even run their SB CPUs at that same speed. I Like my 4.9Ghz though.

"Since I paid my mortgage, the banks have the money to give to those who didn't."
Not surprised.
Mortgage payments, Car payments, Loan payments, Overdraft charges, it goes on and on.
The money is from the BANKS.
The SAME banks that acted in an irresponsible manner and maliciously foreclosed on homes WITHOUT due-process.
"During the first few years of the housing crisis, banks and other institutions that service loans made life miserable for hundreds of thousands of homeowners who tried -- and failed -- to receive a loan modification. The institutions lost paperwork, made accounting mistakes and even pushed into foreclosure some homeowners who were current on their payments."
Including people that were CURRENT with their mortgage payments.
"During April the companies (Bank of America, Citi, JPMorgan Chase, Wells Fargo and Ally/GMAC) agreed to a joint state-federal settlement that set aside $1.5 billion for cash payments to 2 million borrowers nationwide because of foreclosure abuses or fraud. That includes robo signing of documents outside the presence of a notary or without knowing if the facts were correct, according to the Florida Attorney General's office."
The crux is the banks screwed up, got caught, got sued, lost and are now paying for their "indiscretion" with this settlement.
The same banks you make your precious mortgage payment to.

Ray Horton hired as Cleveland Browns defensive coordinator
Just hours after Ray Horton was released from his contract with the Arizona Cardinals, he was hired by the Cleveland Browns as defensive coordinator.
Horton's contract is for four years and $8 million, according to Arizona Sports' Kyndra de St. Aubin.
It was expected the coach would find work quickly and initial speculation led to Cleveland.
While Bruce Arians was finishing up his introductory press conference as the Cardinals' next head coach, Horton to Cleveland was confirmed first by ESPN's Adam Schefter and then the team.
Horton told de St. Aubin he received a phone call Friday from the Browns to discuss the job with him. He had interviewed with the Browns for their head coaching position earlier in the month and felt it was a good interview.
Horton believes the Browns' defense has a ton of upside and is an extraordinary young team.
Cleveland is assembling a new staff, led by first-time head coach Rob Chudzinski. The Browns have also landed Michael Lombardi as the vice president of player personnel.
Horton is flying to Cleveland Friday night to meet with team officials.
Horton interviewed for the Cardinals' head coaching job, and has been the architect of their defense over the last two seasons. In 2012, Arizona ranked 12th in the league in total defense.
In Arizona he was the defensive coordinator for Ken Whisenhunt, who took a job as the San Diego Chargers offensive coordinator on Thursday.
Horton said he got a phone call from Whisenhunt Thursday night, and his former boss thanked him for his time in Arizona and said maybe they would work together again in the future.

New Bangkok bus lines to Laos

The state-run Transport Co Ltd will offer direct coach services between Bangkok and Vientiane and Bangkok to Pakse in Laos under a policy to boost transport networks with neighbouring countries.
Each destination will have one service a day using standard airconditioned buses and the one-way fare for both routes is 900 baht. The route from Bangkok to Vientiane will take 11 hours, leaving Bangkok at 8pm while the bus for Pakse leaves at 9pm and will take 13 hours.
Wuthichart Kalayanamit, president of Transport Co, said the two routes are an extension of two other routes while it has another seven routes running between Thailand and Laos such as Chiang Mai to Luang Prabang and Khon Kaen to Vientiane.

JUPITER -- Because the Marlins spring training clubhouse is not large enough to accommodate everyone, a bank of temporary lockers sits in the middle of the room to handle the overflow.
Call it the island of promise.
Call it the stockpile of possibility.
Call it the one silver lining if youre a Marlins fan in the twisted wreckage of an offseason that saw the roster turned to rubble by a giant sledgehammer.
Its pretty special, beams Marty Scott, the Marlins vice president of player development. The general public was upset in the fall when we gave away some of our big-name guys. But, from my standpoint .
From Scotts standpoint, its a blessing.
The name tags above the lockers in the middle represent one of the top stables of young talent in the majors, a building block the Marlins are counting on to put the organization back on the winning track.
Jose Fernandez, perhaps the top homegrown pitching phenom the Marlins have had since Josh Beckett, sits there. So does outfielder Christian Yelich, whose swing, scouts say, is as silky as they come.
Theyre the Big 2. But theyre not the only ones.
Theres pitcher Adam Conley, outfielder Marcell Ozuna, outfielder Jake Marisnick, pitcher Andrew Heaney and catcher J.T. Realmuto. There are still others within the Marlins farm system but not in big-league camp this spring also prominent on the organizations radar, such as left-hander Justin Nicolino.
The Marlins obtained Marisnick and Nicolino in the Toronto trade.
That is your future, said Larry Beinfest, the Marlins president of baseball operations. Its your pipeline.
Its the bedrock on which rests the best chance for the Marlins to rise from the still glowing embers of a massive player sell-off that followed a second consecutive last-place finish in the National League East.
The Marlins never use the word rebuilding, though that is exactly what theyre in the process of doing. When they traded off Jose Reyes, Mark Buehrle, Josh Johnson, Hanley Ramirez and just about anyone making a seven-figure salary, the Marlins acquired top-end young talent, much of it still in the incubation stage of development.
I dont really believe in patience, in terms of fans being patient, with a major-league club, said Beinfest, who understands the fan fury that came with the latest purge. Its major-league entertainment, and thats what they should expect.
Which is why Beinfest and others arent dismissing the 2013 Marlins outright, even though the odds are stacked so high against them that it would not be a surprise to anyone if they lost 100 games. Another last-place finish could be in the offing.
But if the prospects develop as many expect, the Marlins shouldnt remain in the cellar for very long.
Last year, Baseball America listed the Marlins 28th (out of 30 organizations) in its annual talent rankings. This year, after the Marlins loaded up on prospects in their series of unpopular trades, the publication vaulted them to fifth.
Baseball America ranks Fernandez as the sixth-best overall prospect in baseball, and has Yelich at 18 and Heaney at 40. Its a vast improvement from what existed before Scott took over player development in September 2011.

Edge of Twilight postponed as Fuzzyeyes deals with layoffs
Edge of Twilight has been postponed but not canceled, according to Fuzzyeyes, but it does look as though the game is no longer in the hands of the developer which is dealing with layoffs at the moment but not a studio closure.
The game is currently being worked on by an outsourcing team until the studio can take over the project again.
Rumors yesterday stated that the game had been canned and that the studio was shutting down, which led Fuzzyeyes CEO Wei-Yao Lu to issue the following statement:
On September 30, Fuzzyeyes has let go the majority of staffs as Fuzzyeyes was confronted with number of challenges, including economic downturn and some legal complications. In order to reduce the operating cost during this problematic time,Fuzzyeyes came to a difficult and unfortunate decision to reduce the number of staffs to a minimum.
On October 5, Fuzzyeyes has struck a deal to sell portion of shares to a third party company. During this transition period, Fuzzyeyes will temporarily seize further development on any project. However, Fuzzyeyes is still in business and the office is still open. Until the transition is fully settled, Fuzzyeyes will suspend all on-site development, but all out sourced development is still on going. Fuzzyeyes will be back in full operation after the settlement, and a number of Fuzzyeyes ex-employees has been offered a position in early 2010. Further details will be released once the transition has fully completed.
More through D'toid and Blue's News.

Rumour: Edge of Twilight canned
Kotaku's rumouring that the steampunky Edge of Twilight's been whacked.
As has, apparently, its developer, Fuzzyeyes.
That's it, really. It was supposed to release on PC, PS3 and 360 this year.

I hope someone can contribute some cool skins, Here is my feedback so far. I did notice when I open the remote it causes a slight hickup in the video playing. but not enough to disrupt the playing. Not sure what details you need. The media shows all files in the folders, I keep a lot of fanart and nfo files, so its a bit cluttered view, and I have to open several folders to get to a movie. Since these items can't be used it would be nice to filter them out or have a library only view option.

If it breaks you can just rename your .old one back. |

Currently secure traffic (SSL, SSH) is not in my plans. I'll investigate what is needed for this.
Also an update will be released this evening. The site will be updated to included screen shots and installation instructions. Thank you for your bravery in trying the application. Your input is helpful!!! Kabooga |
