The temperature is falling to that perfect fall level, the tourists are dwindling, the sea is warm and the restaurants are buzzing with local faces. Welcome to Autumn on Cape Cod.
This season is the loveliest all. Cape Cod finds it's second wind as it reawakens to it's locals. There is space on Cape Cod's National Seashore beaches and on the bayside beaches as pictured in this blog. No lines at the restaurants, the creativity in artwork is rekindled, the transients transplant themselves elsewhere and the smell of fresh crisp salty air returns. It is quite a treat to live here year round. The extremes Cape Cod "travels" through on an annual basis is quite a wild ride for the land, locals, tourists and businesses alike.
I am a newbie on Cape Cod, although for a place like the Cape, that may not be entirely true. I have lived here for 1 full year and 2 winter seasons. What a treat it has been, living in the most beautiful place in the US. Having traveled throughout this country of ours, I believe the Cape offers the best quality of life around. We experience solitude, peace, the hustle and bustle of moving forward and beauty all in one.
For those of you who have never been to Cape Cod in the "off-season" your chance is now. It is a wonderful place to be for quiet-time; relaxation, long walks along the beach, peaceful drives on Rt 6A, biking along the practically private bike trail, exploring stunning artwork in our festive galleries, enjoying an evening of professional theater, indulging in fresh tender seafood, sitting by the bay listening to the gulls and waves and sharing your love for beautiful Cape Cod with so many friendly faces. A perfect Bed and Breakfast Getaway at the Captain Freeman Inn can make all of this happen!
We hope to see you here. Fall 2011. Keep checking back for updates on our progress at the inn, the happenings on Cape Cod, my Yoga experiences and reviews on local theater and the arts.

Activist Post
I had come across an article in the Dairy Reporter last year, about the coming plans to insert nano-technology into food. In the article from DR: Nanotechnology in food: What's the big idea? By Caroline Scott-Thomas, 26-Jul-2010 this observation was made:
"At IFT's nanoscience conference last week, major industry players discussed how to avoid a rerun of the GMO debacle with consumers – with some saying that one solution could be to say nothing about introducing nanotechnology in foods and to do it anyway."
We all have enough experience with today's bio-pirates who are openly colluding with the USDA, FDA and anyone else in government, like "Dirty Harry" Reid NV (D), who single-handedly and unanimously cast the one vote needed to pass the fake food safety bill, to know that food safety and longer shelf life is most likely not what this technology is actually intended to do. As it is, most products on the shelves of stores now are so chemically laden and contain so much GMO that I doubt spoilage is an option. After all…can chemicals, pesticides and herbicides actually rot?
Most of what sits in our stores is not really food as we have known it. It is a stew of sorts; chemicals, additives, flavorings, colorings, enhancers, preservatives, aspartame, neotame, and stuff we can't even identify along with residual hormones, vaccines, antibiotics, herbicides and pesticides. It has been irradiated, sprayed with viruses and now covered in ammonia. Reading any label for content makes one think you would be just as well off if you drank floor cleaner and it most likely might be a lot tastier although just as empty of nutrition.
We also know, from experience, that no matter what kind of song and dance emanates from one of these foreign corporations (FAO/WHO) and Big Ag and the Bio-pirates that nothing is in the works that will not have an adverse application of some kind, which is most likely the true intent. Of course my immediate reaction is first and foremost: What are these foreign corporations doing setting "standards in technology" (profit and control) that are to be foisted on the US? But…I digress…that's a story for another day.
The potential for abuse of this technology being used adversely is huge.
Big AG and the bio-pirates make no bones about their intent to track food from field to fork and at every step of the process in between which is why it is so imperative that they seize control of production and supply. It is really hard to control the food supply when you have not yet been able to lay claim to all of it no matter how cooperative "Dirty Harry" and his merry band of corporate hiney huggers were or are.
In this report FAO/WHO Expert meeting on the application of nanotechnologies in the food and agriculture sectors: potential food safety implications (PDF):
The industry is, therefore, always seeking new technologies to offer products with improved tastes, flavors, textures, longer shelf-life, and better safety and traceability.
- to address certain food-related ailments, such as obesity, high blood pressure, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, digestive disorders, certain types of cancer (e.g. bowel cancer) and food allergies
What the report fails to address or even mention is that every medical disorder listed has been greatly exacerbated and occurs at an accelerated rate due to the chronic contamination and adulteration of food supplies with chemical, pharmaceutical and foreign toxins. Noting "certain food-related ailments" this committee failed to ask the most obvious and relevant question: If these ailments are a result of the food we are eating . . . what is the underlying problem with the food? And why would finding a remedy for this increase in possibly deadly ailments include further contamination and adulteration of the food supply with nano-chips?
I doubt any reasonable person would conclude that the underlying problem was a lack of RFID nano-chips, or a lack of organic nano's, in the food supply. Or that there was any personal value in having your medication monitored by a satellite in the sky, at least for the reasons it would be done. This is an invasion of privacy.
According to this report, this technology will be applied to animal feeds and water, right along with commercially available foods. This way, no matter what you eat, you will be ingesting numerous versions of nano-chips of one kind or another. The committee does ponder the question as to whether an accumulation of nano's could cause further health problems, possibly creating peripheral problems from accumulation. Also, the committee is concerned about the possibility of the chips to escape the GI track and leech out into other internal organs.
Nano-chips will be used to supposedly make food taste more like food by enhancing the flavor and texture. Here again the obvious is avoided. Natural food left uncontaminated by toxins, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and whatever else could be thrown in, tends to taste . . . like food. You don't need enhancers, or nanoparticles to stimulate your taste buds to fool your brain into thinking you actually just ate something nutritious and tasty.
Nanochips inserted as RFID is the last nail in the coffin of food freedom. Having reduced the food supply and the available products to a substance that has to be enhanced or that has to be chemically pumped up to make you think it might really be food, is the problem. And, it is an intentionally created system meant to eventually accommodate the insertion of RFID nanochips to detect not only what you are eating, but to extend surveillance of the individual. Having reduced the commercial food supply to dangerously toxic concoctions, the report states, the intention and subsequent use of nanochips in food and pharmaceuticals will be used to monitor:
- the application of nanotechnologies in all aspects of the primary production of foods of plant and animal origin;
- the application of nanotechnologies in food processing, packaging and distribution;
- the use of nanodiagnostic tools for detection and monitoring in food and agricultural production.
- Nanotechnologies applied in the environment were also included if there was a potential direct impact on food safety through the environment to the food chain.
- The Expert Meeting was asked not to cover occupational health matters surrounding the use and application of nanotechnologies in the food and agriculture sector
RFID nano's are so small that once ingested they can circulate undetected by the immune system. Kind of like an on-board GPS for humans or anything else for that matter.
The red flags should be flying right about now. Here is the plan for field to fork, from fork to human monitoring and individual surveillance. While I would truly like to think that the intentions of this committee of experts was to protect the food supply from further and unnecessary contamination, it is apparent the focus was instead, planning the future use of nanotechnology to track and control food production and its consumption. While many may argue this will help with traceability, it is a subterfuge meant to divert from the crux of the issue.
While some of what this committee addressed was the current use of organic nano technology which is said to be water soluble and which allows for greater absorption of nutrients, currently used in vitamins and supplements to some degree, and in some readily available food products, it is obvious the intent is to eventually track and control through nano-enabled RFID surveillance, the production and supply of food. Organic nano technology and RFID nano technology are two divergent aspects that are intentionally discussed as though they are one and the same. They are not.
Whatever happened to just plain food?
How Close Are We to a Nano-based Surveillance State?

The 16 teams are divided into four groups in the Preliminary Round.
Group A:(Bratislava)
Group B:(Košice)
Group C:(Košice)
Group D:(Bratislava)
Czech Rep.
The tie-breaking system for two teams with the same number of points in a standing will be the game between the two teams, the winner of the game taking precedence. Due to the fact that the three-point system does not allow a game to end in a tie, then the following tie breaking procedure is applicable when three or more teams are tied in points in a Championship standing.Should three or more teams be tied on points, then a tie breaking formula will be applied as follows, creating a sub-group amongst the tied teams. This process will continue until only two teams remain tied. The game between the two remaining tied teams would then be the determining tie-breaker as the game between these two teams could not end as a tie.Step 1:Taking into consideration the games between each of the tied teams, a sub-group is created applying the points awarded in the direct games amongst the tied teams from which the teams are then ranked accordingly.Step 2:Should the teams still remain tied then the better goal difference in the direct games amongst the tied teams will be decisive. Step 3:Should the teams still remain tied then the highest number of goals scored by these teams in their direct games will be decisiveStep 4:Should three or more teams still remain tied then the results between each of the three teams and the closest best-ranked team outside the sub-group will be applied. In this case the tied team with the best result (1. points, 2. goal difference, 3. more goals scored) against the closest best ranked-team will take precedence Step 5:Should the teams still remain tied, then the results between each of the three teams and the next highest best-ranked team outside the sub-group will be applied. Step 6:Should the teams still remain tied after these five steps have been exercised then Sport considerations will be applied and the tied teams will be ranked by their positions coming into the Championship.Note: If not all mutual games have been played yet in an ongoing tournament, the tied teams will be ranked in the standings according to the following criteria: 1. Lower number of games played, 2. Goal difference, 3. Goals scored, 4. Positions coming into the Championship.
If no goal is scored in the overtime period then the Game Winning Shots (GWS) procedure will apply. The following procedure will be utilized:
For all games in the Preliminary Round, Qualification Round and Relegation Round points shall be awarded as follows:

Houston Maker Faire
Maker Faire is the Greatest Show (and Tell) on Earth—a family-friendly showcase of invention, creativity and resourcefulness, and a celebration of the Maker movement. It's a place where people show what they are making, and share what they are learning. Makers range from tech enthusiasts to crafters to homesteaders to scientists to garage tinkerers. They are of all ages and backgrounds. The aim of Maker Faire is to entertain, inform, connect and grow this community. The original Maker Faire event was held in San Mateo, CA and in 2013 celebrated its eighth annual show with some 900 makers and 120,000 people in attendance. World Maker Faire New York, the other flagship event, has grown in four years to 6
00+ makers and 75,000 attendees. Detroit, Kansas City, Newcastle (UK), Rome, Oslo and Tokyo are the home of "featured" 2013 Maker Faires (200+ makers), and community-driven, independently organized Mini Maker Faires are now being produced around the United States and the world—including right here in Houston.
15 members from the RoboSpartan team were onsite to demonstrate our robots and meet with other Makers.

In 1978 contemporary New Zealand artist Barry Thomas undertook a public art project in inner city Wellington. Utilising a vacant lot on the corner of Willis and Manners Streets, the artist and his friends cut through a wire perimeter fence, delivered a truckload of top soil to the site and planted 180 cabbages.
The project Vacant lot of cabbages (also known as 'The cabbage patch') immediately caught the public attention and received extensive media coverage. Barry was interviewed in local newspaper The Evening Post where he challenged Wellingtonians to occupy the vacant lot and claim the site as their own. The lot was quickly filled with all sorts of objects—which the city council promptly cleared away—except for the cabbages. For several months the vacant-lot-turned-urban-garden became the site of informal gatherings, events and a one-week arts festival called 'The Last Roxy Show'.
Vacant lot of cabbages featured in Jim and Mary Barr's exhibition When art hits the headlines: a survey of controversial art in New Zealand at the National Art Gallery's Shed 11 venue in 1987. The project is also discussed in Christina Barton's history of temporary art in Wellington published in Wellington: a city for sculpture (Wellington: VUP and Wellington Sculpture Trust, 2007).
Journalist Chris Trotter has described Vacant lot of cabbages as 'a conceptual artistic statement against the life-negating conservatism of the Muldoon years [which] quite literally grew into a life-affirming (and edible) challenge to Wellington's bureaucratic soul' (Dominion Post, 20 August 2010, full article here).
Te Papa has recently acquired Thomas's archive of the Vacant lot of cabbages project for its collection as it documents an important moment in New Zealand's art and social history. It is especially timely to consider the project in light of recent art initiatives (e.g. Letting Space in Wellington and Gap Filler in Christchurch)—not to mention wider social phenomena such as the Occupy movement, urban farming and guerrilla gardening.
Sarah Farrar
Curator of Contemporary Art
p.s. Wellingtonians take note – this Saturday 3-5pm at City Gallery there will be a discussion about recent temporary art including Letting Space, Gap Filler and the Performance Arcade.

How Do Colourful Plants Emerge From Soil
Your parent prepares your meal everyday and brings it to the table. There are different types of vegetables and fruit on the table. Well, did you ever wonder where they all come from?
All plants, flowers, fruit and vegetables grow in dark soil. So, how do beautifully scented red roses or strawberries, or wonderfully scented, water-filled yellow lemons emerge from the dark soil, which does not smell so good?
Each plant, vegetable, flower and fruit has different smells, colours and tastes. Apricots, peaches, watermelons, oranges, cherries, strawberries, bananas, grapes, and figs have each different taste, smell and shape. Allah has created them all for us. All of them are delicious, and at the same time, have the vitamins and the minerals that are essential for us. There are different fruits for winter and summer, each one meeting our needs. The oranges, tangerines and grapefruits, for instance, that come out in winter have an abundance of vitamin C. Vitamin C increases the strength of our body against the winter's cold. During the summer, juicy fruits such as watermelons, cherries, cantaloupe and peaches come out. In the summer, the weather becomes hot, causing our bodies to lose water, and we are able to replace this water with the help of these fruits.
None of these have happened by accident. The watermelon hasn't decided by itself, all of a sudden, to emerge during the summer. Neither did the tastes and smells of all of these fruits just happen. No fruit could decide its scent. Could an orange, for instance, decide, "let my scent be this", "let my colour be orange", "let me be sweet", "let me shield my pieces with a cover" and "let me divide into slices, so that people can eat me with ease"?
Of course not!
Allah creates fruit for people with such features that are more beneficial for them, so that they will continue to be strong and healthy, and enjoy the fruit they eat. For this reason, when we eat something we like, we must never forget that Allah created it and gave it to us. We must thank Allah for the beautiful things that He has given us and shown us.

Gregor Mendel Gregor Mendelin full Gregor Johann Mendeloriginal name (until 1843) Johann Mendel(born July 22, 1822, Heinzendorf, Silesia, Austrian Empire [now Hynčice, Czech Republic]—died January 6, 1884, Brünn, Austria-Hungary [now Brno, Czech Republic]), botanist, teacher, and Augustinian prelate, the first person to lay the mathematical foundation of the science of genetics, in what came to be called Mendelism. Gregor Mendel published his work in the proceedings of the local society of naturalists in Brünn, Austria… Born my by - free writing shelley ozymandias essays help paper percy a family with limited means in German-speaking Silesia, Mendel was raised in a rural setting. His academic abilities were recognized by the local priest, who persuaded his parents to send him away to school at the age of 11. His Gymnasium (grammar school) studies completed in 1840, Mendel entered a two-year program in philosophy at the Philosophical Institute of the University of Olmütz (Olomouc, Czech Republic), where he excelled in physics and mathematics, completing his studies in 1843. His initial years away from home were hard, because his family could not sufficiently support him. He tutored other students to make ends meet, and twice he suffered serious depression and had to design sample progress ppt phd report home to recover. As his father's only son, Mendel was expected to take over the small family farm, and the essay way my someone do beat can zen he preferred a different solution to his predicament, choosing to enter the Altbrünn monastery as a study aravind case power hospital eye presentation of the Augustinian order, where essay woolf write virgina analysis cheap my was given the name Students liberty university harvard married move to the monastery took him to Brünn, the capital of Moravia, where for the first time he was freed from the harsh struggle of former years. He was also introduced to a diverse and intellectual community. As a priest, Mendel found his parish duty to visit the sick and dying so distressing that he again became ill. Abbot Cyril Napp found him a substitute-teaching position science investigations writing ks2 report Znaim (Znojmo, Czech Republic), where he proved very successful. However, in 1850 Mendel failed an exam—introduced through new legislation for teacher certification—and was sent to the University of Vienna for two years to benefit from a new program of scientific instruction. As at Olmütz, Mendel devoted his time at Vienna to physics and mathematics, working under Austrian physicist Christian Doppler and mathematical physicist Andreas von Ettinghausen. He also studied the anatomy and physiology of plants and the use of the microscope under botanist Franz Unger, an enthusiast for the cell theory and a supporter of the developmentalist (pre-Darwinian) view of the evolution of life. Unger's writings on the latter made him a target for attack by the Roman Catholic press of Vienna shortly before and during Mendel's time there. In the summer of university souvik roy jadavpur, Mendel returned to the monastery in Brünn, and in the following year he was again given a teaching position, this time at the Brünn Realschule (secondary school), where he remained until elected abbot 14 years later. He attempted the teacher exam again in 1856, although the event caused a nervous breakdown and a second failure. However, these years were his greatest in terms of success both as teacher and as consummate experimentalist. Once abbot, his administrative duties came to occupy the majority of his time. Moreover, Mendel's jeans boss homework com to permit paper networks rebellion support of the zapatista my writing help for transnational monastery to pay the state's new taxes for a religious fund led to his involvement in a long and bitter dispute with the authorities. Convinced that this tax was unconstitutional, he continued his opposition, refusing to comply even when the state took over the administration of some of the monastery's estates and directed the profits to the religious fund. In 1854 Abbot Cyril Napp permitted Mendel to plan a major experimental program in hybridization at the report serial season 34 directory. The aim of this program was to trace the transmission of hereditary characters in successive generations of hybrid progeny. Previous authorities had observed that progeny of fertile hybrids tended manitoba bob mulally university revert to the originating species, and they had therefore concluded that hybridization could not be a mechanism used by nature to multiply species—though in exceptional cases some fertile hybrids did appear not to revert essay best my the things need do help so-called "constant hybrids"). On the other hand, plant and animal breeders had long shown that crossbreeding could indeed produce a multitude of new forms. The latter point was of particular interest to landowners, including the abbot of the monastery, who was concerned about the monastery's future profits from the wool of its Merino 2018 shanghai list university, owing to competing wool being supplied from Australia. Mendel chose to conduct his studies with the edible pea ( Pisum sativum ) because of ski smuggs bull no report numerous distinct varieties, the ease of culture and control of pollination, and the high proportion of successful seed germinations. From 1854 to 1856 he tested 34 varieties for constancy of their traits. In order to trace the transmission of characters, he chose seven traits that were expressed in a distinctive manner, such as plant height (short or tall) and seed colour (green or yellow). He referred to these alternatives as contrasted characters, or character-pairs. He crossed varieties that differed in one trait—for instance, tall crossed with short. The first generation of hybrids (F 1 ) displayed the character of one variety but not that of the other. In Mendel's terms, one character was dominant and the other recessive. In the numerous progeny that he raised from these hybrids (the second generation, F 2 ), however, the recessive character reappeared, and the proportion of offspring bearing the dominant to offspring bearing the recessive was very close to a 2018 university dates of tour u2 alabama to 1 genocide my in darfur writing paper help. Study of the descendants (F 3 ) of the dominant group showed that one-third of them were true-breeding and two-thirds were of hybrid constitution. The 3:1 ratio could hence be rewritten as 1:2:1, meaning that 50 percent of the F 2 generation were true-breeding and 50 percent were still hybrid. This was Mendel's major discovery, and it was unlikely to have been made by his predecessors, since they did not grow statistically significant populations, nor did they follow the individual characters separately to establish their statistical relations. Mendel's approach to experimentation came from his training in physics and mathematics, especially combinatorial mathematics. The latter served him ideally to represent his result. If A represents the dominant characteristic and a the recessive, then the 1:2:1 ratio recalls the terms in the expansion of the binomial equation: ( A + a ) 2 = A 2 + 2 A a + a 2 Mendel realized further that he could test his expectation that the seven traits are transmitted independently of one another. Crosses involving first two and then three of his seven traits yielded categories of offspring in proportions following the ma 2018 date sheet hnb garhwal university produced from combining two binomial equations, indicating that their transmission was independent of one another. Mendel's successors have called this conclusion the law of independent assortment. Mendel went on to relate his results to the cell theory of fertilization, according to which a new organism is generated from the fusion of two cells. In order for pure breeding forms of both the dominant and the recessive type to be brought into the hybrid, there had to be some temporary accommodation of the two differing characters in the hybrid as well as a separation process in the formation of the pollen cells and the egg cells. In other words, the hybrid help a my typical need writing day paper form germ cells bearing the potential to yield either the one characteristic or the other. This has since been described as the law of segregation, or the doctrine of the purity of the germ cells. Since one pollen cell fuses with one egg cell, all possible combinations of the differing pollen and egg cells would yield just the results suggested by Mendel's combinatorial theory. Mendel first presented his results in two separate lectures in 1865 to the Natural Science Society in Brünn. His paper " Experiments on Plant Hybrids" was published in the society's journal, Verhandlungen des naturforschenden Vereines in Brünnthe following year. It attracted little attention, although many libraries received it and reprints were sent out. The tendency of those who read it was to conclude that Mendel had simply demonstrated more accurately what was already widely assumed—namely, that hybrid progeny revert to their originating forms. They overlooked the potential for variability and the evolutionary implications that his demonstration of the recombination of traits made possible. Most notably, Swiss botanist Karl Wilhelm von Nägeli actually corresponded with Mendel, despite remaining skeptical as to the significance of his results and doubting that xna thesis statement creator germ cells in hybrids could be pure. Mendel appears to have made no effort to publicize his work, and it is not report credit order experian my how many reprints of his paper he distributed. He had ordered 40 reprints, the whereabouts of only eight of which are known. Other than the journal that published his paper, 15 sources are known from the 19th century in which Mendel is mentioned in kingdom management on the pdf business process thesis context of plant hybridization. Few of these provide a clear picture of his achievement, and most are very brief. By 1871 Mendel had only enough time to continue his meteorological and apicultural work. He traveled for cover job relations letter public, and his only visit to England was to see the Industrial Exhibition in 1862. Bright disease made his last years painful, and he died at the age of 62. Mendel's funeral was attended by many mourners and proceeded from the monastery to the monastery's burial plot in the town's central cemetery, where his grave can be seen today. He was survived by two sisters and three nephews. In 1900 Dutch botanist and geneticist Hugo de Vries, German botanist and geneticist Carl Erich Correns, and Austrian botanist Erich Tschermak von Seysenegg independently reported results of hybridization experiments similar to Mendel's, though each later claimed not to have known of Mendel's work while doing their own experiments. However, both de Vries and Correns had read Mendel earlier—Correns even made detailed essay government past questions ap on the subject—but had forgotten. De Vries had a diversity of results in annual 2011 maybank malaysia report, but it was not until he reread Mendel in 1900 that he was able to select and organize his data into a rational system. Tschermak had not read Mendel before obtaining his results, and his first account of his data offers an interpretation in terms of hereditary potency. He described the 3:1 ratio as an "unequal valancy" ( Wertigkeit ). In subsequent papers he incorporated the Mendelian paper help in interpretation writing depatriarchalizing my biblical of segregation and the purity of the germ cells into his text. In Great Britain, biologist William Bateson became the leading proponent of Mendel's theory. Around him gathered an enthusiastic band of followers. However, Darwinian evolution was assumed to be based chiefly on the selection of small, blending variations, whereas Mendel worked with clearly nonblending variations. Bateson soon found that championing Mendel aroused opposition from Darwinians. He and his supporters were called Mendelians, and their work was considered irrelevant to evolution. It took ballarat of baker elisa university three decades before the Mendelian theory was sufficiently developed to find its rightful place in evolutionary theory. The distinction between a characteristic and its determinant was not consistently made by Mendel or by his successors, the early Mendelians. In 1909 Danish botanist and geneticist Wilhelm Johannsen clarified this point and named the determinants genes. Four years later American zoologist and geneticist Thomas Hunt Morgan located the genes on the chromosomes, and the gallery plu delaware university picture of them as beads on a string emerged. This discovery had implications for Mendel's claim of an independent transmission of traits, for genes close together on the same chromosome are not transmitted independently. Moreover, as genetic studies pushed the analysis down to smaller and smaller dimensions, the Mendelian gene appeared to fragment. Molecular genetics has thus challenged any attempts to achieve a unified conception of the gene as the elementary unit of heredity. Today the gene is defined in several ways, depending upon the nature of the investigation. Genetic material can be synthesized, manipulated, and hybridized with genetic material from other species, but to fully understand its functions in the whole organism, an understanding of Mendelian inheritance is necessary. As the architect of genetic experimental home work website au proofreading top statistical analysis, Mendel remains the acknowledged father of genetics.

Once again, a virus is found wreaking havoc in the Middle East, according to the New York Times. Was it made by the US and American governments? Or, was it made by someone or something far more sinister? You'll have to read The Plague to find out!
A security firm said Thursday that it had discovered what it believed was the fourth state-sponsored computer virus to surface in the Middle East in the last three years, apparently aimed at computers in Lebanon.
The firm, Kaspersky Lab, said that the virus appeared to have been written by the same programmers who created Flame, the data-mining computer virus that was found to be spying on computers in Iran in May, and that it might be linked to Stuxnet, the virus that disrupted uranium enrichment work in Iran in 2010.
The latest virus, nicknamed Gauss after a name found in its code, has been detected on 2,500 computers, most in Lebanon, the firm said. Its purpose appeared to be to acquire logins for e-mail and instant messaging accounts, social networks and, notably, accounts at certain banks - a function more typically found in malicious programs used by profit-seeking cybercriminals.
The researchers said the target banks included several of Lebanon's largest - the Bank of Beirut, Blom Bank, Byblos Bank and Credit Libanais - along with Citibank and the online payment system PayPal.
"We have never seen any malware target such a specific range of banks," Costin Raiu, Kaspersky's director of global research and analysis, said in an interview. "Generally, cybercriminals target as many banks as possible to maximize financial profit, but this is a very focused cyberespionage campaign targeting certain users of online banking systems."
Lebanon experts said that an American cyber espionage campaign directed at Lebanon's banking system would seem to be a plausible possibility, given Washington's concerns that the country's banks are being used as a financial conduit for the Syrian government and for Hezbollah, the Lebanese militant group and political party.
"The United States has had a number of Lebanese banks under the microscope for a while," said Bilal Y. Saab, a Lebanon expert at the Monterey Institute of International Studies, who said the banks "operate much like Swiss banks" in terms of secrecy. "A computer virus could completely undermine that," he said.
Researchers at Kaspersky Lab, based in Moscow, said they found the Gauss virus while analyzing the Flame virus in June. Flame is a reconnaissance tool that can capture images of a user's computer screen, record e-mail and chat sessions, turn on microphones remotely and monitor keystrokes and network traffic. It can infect an offline computer through a USB stick or a Bluetooth connection.
Kaspersky's researchers said they were confident that Gauss was the work of the same hands as Flame, because the two viruses were written in the same language (known as C++) on the same platform and shared some code and features. Different people probably wrote Doqu and Stuxnet, the first two state-sponsored viruses to surface in recent years, they said, but all four were probably commissioned by the same state-sponsored entity.
"There is absolutely no doubt that Gauss and Flame were printed by the same factories," Mr. Raiu said. "An early version of Stuxnet used a module from Flame, which shows they are connected. Stuxnet was created by a nation-state - it simply could not have been designed without nation-state support - which means Flame and Gauss were created with nation-state support as well."
Kaspersky Lab has declined to speculate on which nation-states were responsible. The New York Times reported in June, based on interviews with officials in several countries, that Stuxnet was jointly developed by the United States and Israel.
Security experts not connected with the lab were less sure that a government was behind Gauss. "It's a fairly large leap, in terms of deductive reasoning, to assume that because they share a common architectural platform, this variant is also state-sponsored," said Will Gragido of RSA, a security firm, who has studied Flame but has not yet analyzed Gauss. "It's possible the code was made available underground and repurposed or reused by cybercriminals."
Kaspersky researchers said Gauss contained a "warhead" that seeks a very specific computer system with no Internet connection and installs itself only if it finds one. "It's done in such a clever way that security researchers cannot analyze it, because they don't know the decryption key that unlocks the true purpose of that program," Mr. Raiu said.

Sajid Nadiadwala and his production team have been busy training the future star, Tiger Shroff, for 'Heropanti'. Sajid first met Tiger 15 years ago, at the football field and Jackie insisted that Sajid train his son in football.
Tiger was introduced to Sajid as a 5 year old boy by Jackie Shroff, as he accompanied his father to an enjoyable football match. The producer regularly played football during those days and was a tough goal-keeper. After the match, Jackie walked up to Sajid and expressed his desire for the ace producer to train his son in the game.
Who knew then that 15 years later, Sajid's entire unit would be working towards Tiger's larger-than-life Bollywood debut with 'Heropanti'. Talking about the irony, a nostalgic Sajid stated,
"I am very happy with how the movie is shaping up and the fact that I am actually fulfilling the responsibility given to me 15 years ago by Jackie to train his son. It certainly is a different space, but training it is! "
Under the banner of Nadiadwala Grandsons Entertainment Pvt. Ltd. (NGEPL), 'Heropanti' is directed by Sabbir Khan. Starring Tiger Shroff and Kirti Sanon in lead roles, the film has been slated to release May 16th, 2014.

Preparing Hardwood Floors for Home Staging
If you have recently listed your house for sale, then there is a good chance you are looking into tips for home staging in order to increase your chances of success when it comes to selling the home. If you're not, then you should be! After all, there are all kinds of steps you can take to increase the overall appeal of your home to potential home buyers and those who schedule showings. One aspect that many people fail to consider when it comes to home staging, however, is the importance of preparing your home's floors.
For starters, if you do not already have any hardwood flooring in your home, now would be a great time to have some installed. After all, this is generally thought of as the most appealing type of flooring in homes, especially in areas such as main living spaces and kitchens. You can have this type of flooring purchased and installed for less than you would expect if you shop around and choose the right company, too.
Of course, if you already have hardwood flooring in any space of your home, it is important to ensure that it looks its best prior to that first showing. And while hardwood is extremely appealing, the truth is that it can be very hard to care for. For this reason, it is important to know what steps to take in order to get your floors looking their best for potential buyers.

[Note: this might be a bit overdramatic, but it is how I feel. For what that's worth. – Owen]
I miss the days of music with my daughter;
She's older now, and put all that away –
I miss the sound of cello and piano;
I missed it back when there was a 'last day' —
A last day that we'd ever play together.
She says we will again, but then delays,
As months turn into years, and there's no music –
There's only one of two still there who plays.
To work so hard to get so very good,
Then carelessly leave all of that behind;
To leave behind the good in us for nothing,
And let the years spin by until we find
That when we're ready duets to resume
The other half of them is in
Their tomb

Introduction from the NIV Study Bible | Go to Habakkuk
Little is known about Habakkuk except that he was a contemporary of Jeremiah and a man of vigorous faith rooted deeply in the religious traditions of Israel. The account of his ministering to the needs of Daniel in the lions' den in the Apocryphal book Bel and the Dragon is legendary rather than historical.
The prediction of the coming Babylonian invasion (1:6) indicates that Habakkuk lived in Judah toward the end of Josiah's reign (640–609 b.c.) or at the beginning of Jehoiakim's (609–598). The prophecy is generally dated a little before or after the battle of Carchemish (605), when Egyptian forces, which had earlier gone to the aid of the last Assyrian king, were routed by the Babylonians under Nabopolassar and Nebuchadnezzar and were pursued as far as the Egyptian border (Jer 46). Habakkuk, like Jeremiah, probably lived to see the initial fulfillment of his prophecy when Jerusalem was attacked by the Babylonians in 597.
Theological Message
Among the prophetic writings, Habakkuk is somewhat unique in that it includes no oracle addressed to Israel. It contains, rather, a dialogue between the prophet and God (see Outline). (The book of Jonah, while narrative, presents an account of conflict between the Lord and one of his prophets.) In the first two chapters, Habakkuk argues with God over his ways that appear to him unfathomable, if not unjust. Having received replies, he responds with a beautiful confession of faith (ch. 3).
This account of wrestling with God is, however, not just a fragment from a private journal that has somehow entered the public domain. It was composed for Israel. No doubt it represented the voice of the godly in Judah, struggling to comprehend the ways of God. God's answers therefore spoke to all who shared Habakkuk's troubled doubts. And Habakkuk's confession became a public expression—as indicated by its liturgical notations (see note on 3:1).
Habakkuk was perplexed that wickedness, strife and oppression were rampant in Judah but God seemingly did nothing. When told that the Lord was preparing to do something about it through the "ruthless" Babylonians (1:6), his perplexity only intensified: How could God, who is "too pure to look on evil" (1:13), appoint such a nation "to execute judgment" (1:12) on a people "more righteous than themselves" (1:13)?
God makes it clear, however, that eventually the corrupt destroyer will itself be destroyed. In the end, Habakkuk learns to rest in God's sovereign appointments and await his working in a spirit of worship. He learns to wait patiently in faith (2:3–4) for God's kingdom to be expressed universally (2:14). See note on3:18–19.
Literary Features
The author wrote clearly and with great feeling, and he penned many memorable phrases (2:2,4,14,20; 3:2,17–19). The book was popular during the intertestamental period; a complete commentary on its first two chapters has been found among the Dead Sea Scrolls (see essay, p. 1939).
- Title (1:1)
- Habakkuk's First Complaint: Why does the evil in Judah go unpunished? (1:2–4)
- God's Answer: The Babylonians will punish Judah (1:5–11)
- Habakkuk's Second Complaint: How can a just God use wicked Babylonia to punish a people more righteous than themselves? (1:12—2:1)
- God's Answer: Babylonia will be punished, and faith will be rewarded (2:2–20)
- Habakkuk's Prayer: After asking for manifestations of God's wrath and mercy (as he has seen in the past), he closes with a confession of trust and joy in God (ch. 3)

Banner talks quarterbacks
Eagles president Joe Banner continued his interview with the team's Web site and addressed the question on everyone's mind -- the status of the team's quarterback situation, with all three players entering the final year of their contracts.
Coach Andy Reid has said Donovan McNabb will be back next season and McNabb has insisted that is what he wants. Kevin Kolb's camp has said he believes he is ready to be an NFL starter but trusts Reid and will be a "team player" whatever the situation. Michael Vick has made it clear that he wants to be a starter and McNabb has backed Vick, saying he is ready to start elsewhere. The Daily News has reported that Reid has assured Vick he will be traded before the draft. The Eagles have an option on Vick's contract, which has to be exercised in early March.
As for Banner, "It's a priority to figure out exactly the best way to handle the situation. Andy's comments have been clear about his evaluation and Andy is the final decision-maker here. As far as do we trade any of the quarterbacks, keep all three quarterbacks, what do we do with their contact status each going into last year of their deals, the uncertainty about the collective bargaining agreement going forward, those are also parts of the decision. There's different levels of complexity about the decision. We'll have to sit down and figure it out."
But the Eagles feel they are in an enviable position, especially as teams begin to call to check on the availability of the quarterbacks.
"I don't think I have ever seen this situation," Banner said of having three such valuable quarterbacks. "It's a great position to be in. It does present a very difficult decision or series of decisions to make. I don't think there is a team in the league that wouldn't like to have the problem of having too many good quarterbacks and what do we do with that.
Banner also talked about the differences expected in free agency with the high likelihood of an uncapped year in 2010.
"I think free agency is going to be very different than it's been, with the best, youngest potential free agents not being free agents," he said. "It's going to be a much quieter market, much fewer players available and the youngest, best players not available. It's going to be finding people in spots that you have opportunities. Even the normal first week, when you have a lot of activity and a lot of big deals, I even think that will be much less active than usual."
In some Vick-related news, as he continues to do interviews in support of "The Michael Vick Project" on BET, Vick told Atlanta radio station The Zone that he was "somewhat lazy, and I settled for mediocrity" during his tenure with the Falcons, per the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
That, he said, has changed. "I'm stronger, I feel fast and I'm back to my old-school workouts," he said. "I think you'll see a big difference this year. I want to play my best football up until the age of 34 and 35, and I'm going to put everything into it. Just imagine what I could have been doing if I really would have been applying myself. That's a regret I have."
Vick also said he did not know where he would play next season, but "wherever I end up, I'm going to be happy and make the most out of my situation."
He also called coming to the Eagles "probably the best thing that has ever happened to me in football."
"I didn't even expect to go to Philadelphia. It was kind of a shock to me and my family. I just made the most of the situation ... I was able to learn so much, sit back and be observant and use it as if it was a redshirt year. That part of the segment, I wanted to show early because a lot of people really wanted to see how that happened and what took place."
In a lengthy interview with Essence magazine, Vick was asked about the tough Philly fans and how he adjusted.
"Going to Philly was a good thing," he said. "I never knew if or when I would ever return to the NFL. I had an indefinite suspension. I was grateful to get the opportunity to return."
He also had some advice for Tiger Woods.
" I think that is such an unfortunate situation," he said. "I think a lot was probably blown out of proportion. But Tiger is smart, and he's a good man, I think people know that. He knows what he has to do. And he will move forward and do that. I see him working hard to devote himself toward saving his family. He has always had such a clean, good image and I am sure he is contrite and wants to make things right. I believe people will see that eventually."

WTF (updated see comments section)
Uncle Sam = Dead Broke By Martin Armstrong
The US Stock Market has ended the worst week so far for the past year as time runs out on Washington to reach agreement on the insane debt ceiling limit. Why do we have such a limit anyway is a question nobody seems competent to answer. The S&P500 fell every day this week and was down 3.9 percent for the week as legislators have been blocked by what is clearly a rising third party. They got the vote finally only by attaching a Balanced Budget Amendment that will go no place. We seem to have forgotten our
history that at first there was the Federalists who wanted a big central government and the Democratic- Republican Party founded in the early 1790s by Thomas Jefferson and James Madison intent upon preserving local power and custom. The Democratic-Republican Party split into various factions during the 1824 election, based more on personality than on ideology. When the election was thrown to the House of Representatives, House Speaker Henry Clay backed Secretary of State John Quincy Adams to deny the presidency to Senator Andrew Jackson, a longtime personal rival and a hero of the War of 1812. The Jacksonians, fiercely anti-central bankers not unlike the Tea Party, held their first national convention as the "Republican Party" in 1832. By the mid-1830s, they referred to themselves as the "Democratic Party," and the name has been official since 1844. The Democratic Party has often been called "the party of Jefferson," while the modern Republican Party is often called "the party of Lincoln."
Third parties do not grow up on the side of the road in some ditch. They traditionally emerge from within an existing party. The Tea Party movement has been closely aligned with the Republicans
sharing some loose small government ideas. However, I have been warning about an IMPASSE in Washington because of the nature of how a third party will emerge and that by 2016 we could have a third party victory even in the Presidency. The Republicans and Democrats are career politicians. They would have cut a deal by now. But the Republicans cannot control the Tea Party members. This is the real interesting issue.
Those who have been surprised by this international chaos emerging from Washington should just step back a moment and look closer at the dynamics of the politics. True, investors also worry about the likelihood of a U.S. credit downgrade. This is not probable since the agencies are American and that would be rather unpatriotic given they got a pass on criminal charges for what they did in the mortgage debacle. The important distinction centers on the fact that this crisis is entirely voluntary and not driven by investors refusing to buy US debt obligations. True, the CBOE Market Volatility Index <.VIX>, a gauge of investor fear, jumped as much as 9 percent to its highest level since mid-March before pruning its rise. But this is short-term posturing and nobody believes the USA will actually default on a permanent basis. Some institutional investors have been moving to cash to be prudent. The worst possible outcome would be a delay for a month and then street investors ask for cash from mutual funds and hedge funds that would be unable to sell US securities except in the marketplace where prices would drop sharply. Of course a real balanced budget would be hugely bullish for stocks because all the cash that hides in the bond market would be force to invest privately for one.
President Obama told Republicans and Democrats to find a way "out of this mess." One credit rating agency has said it is likely to lower the US's prized triple-A rating if the cuts in Washington don't go far enough. This is yet another posturing move much like a gorilla pounding its chest. The problem here, there is a lot of hair, but no muscle. August is 31.4 months from December 2008 high for the 30 year bonds achieved in the whole Mortgage Crisis when they reached 142 61/64 on December 18th. This suggests that we have reached a turning point and the attitude toward US debt will sustain a serious shift in sentiment. It appears we are facing a sea change in the debt markets. This nonsense is not helping the whole Sovereign Debt Crisis issue and the world now knows America is very unstable politically.
Being old-school, I still keep my hand charts to retain the "feel" of the markets. CRB Price Charts were something I used when I began in the 1970s. Absolutely everything is interconnected and there is nothing that is RANDOM in markets be it walking or running. Like physics, there is a definitive set of LAWS that the markets must follow. Those who refuse to believe simply cannot see. I will deal with this complexity in my future book, The Geometry of Timetm.
Here are two charts the 30yr bond and the Dow Jones Industrials. Note the low in the bonds took place in June 2007. The middle high in the Dow was July with the first being February and the last taking placed on October 11th, 2007. This was precisely in line with the ECM frequency as the first unfolded exactly on the day of the model 2007.15 that was 51.6 months (4.3 years) from the October 2002 low while the last and final high was 60.2 months from that low (7 * 8.6). The high formed neatly at the top of the Uptrend Channel constructed from the low of 1996 to the ECM 2002 low with a parallel from the 2000 high. Until we accomplish a monthly closing ABOVE 12686, the Dow remains vulnerable to a correction. The highest monthly close has been only 12595.37. The main support begins at 11006. What these charts illustrate is the organization of time both BEFORE and AFTER the 2007.15 high in the Economic Confidence Model. We are now approaching the overlap period. August 2011 is the precise target in the bonds. In the Dow, we have this same period, Oct/Nov and then Dec/Jan 2012. It certainly looks like the chaos in Washington is playing precisely as it should and is exactly once again one time.
August 2011 Gold Chart Book
Gold vs. Silver
I'm bullish on gold but kinda bearish on silver, short-term. So, I'll be proven right and wrong.
Gold looks poised to test $1700 in the next two weeks based on this chart:
But now silver. Starting with the old weekly chart, note the 34-wk MA (pink) has entered the channel at $35, so we can expect that level to be very strong support from here. And that's good news, because if silver stays in that trend channel, broken in 2008 and resumed in 2011, it's doing really well.
But now look at his daily chart starting from last August, when silver started its explosive ascent to $40. The blue trend line was strong support until mid-June (only one daily close just beneath it, in early May). We've tried to get back over it several times but it's proven to be strong resistance. So, my gut tells me that a test of the $35-$36 level (which would still keep it in the long-term trend channel of the weekly chart above) looks more likely than not. Wynter Benton, call your office, basically.

Centralia woman arrested for threatening to shoot police and neighbor
A Centralia woman was arrested early Tuesday morning after threatening to shoot police and kill her neighbor.
Centralia police said 41-year-old Angel Marie Anderson threw a large object at her neighbor "in the manner as a person would throw a spear with the intent of impaling someone."
Police Chief Larry Dudgeon said she then threw a plant holder containing two large hooks at her neighbor.
Officers said she has threatened the neighbor and his family in the past and has "threatened to poison his dogs."
When officers knocked at her door, she allegedly threatened to shoot them and began to scream loudly.
According to a probable cause statement, Anderson opened the door holding a bowling pin over her head. After being told to drop it, she allegedly told officers to "go to hell."
Anderson allegedly swung at the officer's head, but missed the officer by inches. As officers were trying to "wrestle" Anderson into handcuffs, she kept kicking and swinging at them, according to the probable cause statement.
Anderson was arrested on charges of first-degree assault, first-degree assault on an officer, two counts of armed criminal action, trespassing, resisting arrest and marijuana possession.
Her bond was set at $125,500 and she has bonded out of the Boone County Jail.

Fujitsu Amilo Mini on video with interchangeable lid covers
Fujitsu's Amilo Mini netbook has made another appearance, this time on video and demonstrating its neat, clip-on lid covers that will obviously be made in a variety of colors. The 8.9-inch budget ultraportable is pretty much a mystery machine right now, with the only thing known being that it runs Windows.Check out the video after the cut
Price tag is believed to be in the region of €300 to €400 (around $470 to $630). The original tip also suggested that the Amilo Mini would launch in the Fall.
Fujitsu's senior director of mobile product management, Paul Moore, was quoted last week as describing the netbook sector as having "no margin" and generally being a niche that "doesn't add up".

Although a number of EU member states, including the current Presidency of the EU Council, have endeavored for dialogue and contact with Turkey since the EU Summit of 1-2 October, a positive agenda in the Turkey-EU relations could not be created yet. This is due to the narrow political calculations of a very few countries. Thus, the EU could not end its search for restrictive measures, which is totally futile.
Bringing forth their maximalist demands and unfair policies through the abuse of the membership solidarity and the veto rights by some member states has put Turkey-EU relations into a vicious circle. This situation harms the common interests of Turkey and the EU as well as peace, security and stability of our region.
We reject the biased and illegal approach that had to be adopted with the EU Council Conclusions of 10 December 2020, in particular on Cyprus, Eastern Mediterranean, Aegean and regional issues. In fact, we are aware that the majority of the EU does not embrace these conclusions which are adopted through solidarity and veto pressure.
Turkey, for the sake of regional stability, has always expressed its readiness to commence, without any preconditions, the exploratory talks with Greece despite its provocative steps.
Since 2004, Turkey and the TRNC have demonstrated goodwill efforts in order to make the hydrocarbon reserves of the Eastern Mediterranean region a stability factor, which is currently a factor of tension. They have been the party which undertook all constructive and positive initiatives.
With these conclusions, the EU once again ignored the Turkish Cypriot people, the co-owner of the Cyprus Island, and their will, and obliged itself to the imposition of the Greek Cypriot Administration on the Cyprus issue and fenced city of Maraş. The EU now should abandon this attitude, preventing a just, lasting and sustainable settlement to the Cyprus issue on the basis of the realities on the Island.
The most feasible way out of this situation is the Greek Cypriots coming together with the Turkish Cypriots on some occasion and to start to discuss the issue of hydrocarbon reserves in the Eastern Mediterranean and revenue sharing as well as take concrete steps towards a settlement. In fact, the regional conference on Eastern Mediterranean is an opportunity in this regard. Turkey will continue with determination to protect the legitimate rights of Turkey and the TRNC in the Eastern Mediterranean
The pushbacks of the refugees in the Aegean Sea by Greece and inclusion of FRONTEX in these actions are disgraceful. It is not possible to talk about cooperation on responsible management of migration flows, unless these violations which constitute a serious breach of human rights and seriously condemned by the international public opinion, and the mass deportations are ended. The EU should demonstrate sensitivity regarding migration management not towards Turkey but specifically towards Greece which has systematized inhuman treatment of the refugees.
We have a common interest in the imminent commencement of the work, without any preconditions or conditionality, on the renewal of the Turkey-EU 18 March Statement. This will also serve in surmounting the common challenges we face in Europe and beyond.
As Turkey has always indicated, the EU should assume the role of an honest broker, act with common sense in a principled and strategic manner.

PKC family signaling
The family of Protein kinase C (PKC)
contains 3 functional protein types, 'conventional'
PKC-alpha, PKC-beta, and
PKC-gamma that are activated by calcium and Diacylglycerol
(DAG), 'novel' PKC-delta,
PKC-epsilon, PKC-eta, and
PKC-theta that are activated by
DAG only, and 'atypical'
PKC-iota, PKC-zeta, and
PKC-mu that are not activated by calcium and
When activated by biomechanical stress or neurohormonal mediators,
G-protein coupled receptors separate heterotrimeric
G-proteins to G-protein alpha-q/11 subunits and
heterodimeric G-protein beta/gamma subunits. G-proteins bind
and activate Phospholipase C beta (PLC-beta), recruit
PLC-beta to the membrane where it hydrolyses
Phosphatidylinositol 4,5 bisphosphate (PtdIns(4,5)P2) and
releases Inositol 1,4,5-triphosphate (IP3) and
DAG. IP3 binds to receptors
(IP3R) in the endoplasmic reticulum, releasing calcium
(Ca(2+)). The increase in cytosolic
Ca(2+) activates the protein phosphatase
Calcineurin. Calcineurin
dephosphorylates several residues in the amino-terminal region of the transcription
factor NF-AT, allowing it to translocate to the nucleus and
activate transcription of hypertrophic response genes.
PKC-delta, PKC-epsilon,
PKC-zeta and PKC-mu
phosphorylate and activate PKC-potentiated inhibitor protein of 17kDa
(CPI-17). CPI-17 specifically
inhibits myosin light chain phosphatase (MLCP), leading to
MELC phosphorylation by
MLCK. MLCK in turn is activated
by Calmodulin [1].
One of the PKC-regulated pathways leads to the inhibition of a subset
of Histone deacetylases (HDAC7) that specifically regulate
cellular hypertrophy. In this pathway, PKC-delta activates
another protein kinase, PKC-mu, that in its turn
phosphorylates the HDAC7 leading to its export from the
nucleus and consequent inactivation [2].
PKC-mu activates the transcription factor
Nuclear factor kappaB (NF-kB).
PKC-mu phosphorylates the IKK
beta, leading to I-kB degradation and
subsequent NF-kB translocation into the nucleus [3]. Activation of PKC-mu in response to oxidative
stress requires its sequential phosphorylation by two kinases, tyrosine kinase
cABL and PKC-delta [4]. PKC-mu activation leads to the transcriptional
activation of NUR77 via Myocyte enhancer factor 2
(MEF2)-binding sites in its promoter [5].
v-Src sarcoma viral oncogene homolog
(c-Src) phosphorylates and activates
PKC-iota [6].
Atypical PKC-zeta is activated by
Ceramide. This results in activation of
NF-kB and continued survival of the cell [7].
The two members of the atypical protein kinase C (aPKC) subfamily of
isozymes (PKC-zeta and
PKC-iota) are involved in control of the
NF-kB activity through IKKbeta
activation. aPKC-binding protein Sequestosome 1(p62)
selectively interacts with receptor-interacting protein
RIPK1 as an adaptor. Sequestosome 1(p62)
bridges atypical PKCs and RIPK1. The latter
activates IKK gamma, and atypical PKCs phosphorylate and
activate IKKbeta. Thereby, the interactions of
Sequestosome 1(p62) with RIPK1
and the atypical PKCs lead to the activation of NF-kB
signaling pathway [8].
The PKC-theta isoform also induces
NF-kB activation. PKC-theta
directly targets IKK beta for phosphorylation and
activation, possibly via homodimeric IKKbeta complexes
PKC-beta, PKC-gamma,
PKC-epsilon, and PKC-eta
phosphorylate and activate v-Raf-1 murine leukemia viral oncogene homolog 1
(c-Raf-1) leading to the stimulation of the
Mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase 1 and 2
(MEK1 and MEK2)/ Mitogen-activated protein kinases 1 and 3 (ERK1/2) cascade
and activation of the transcription factor Elk-1 [10].
Several PKC isotypes (PKC-alpha,
PKC-beta, PKC-gamma,
PKC-delta, and PKC-eta)
phosphorylate Glycogen synthase kinase 3 beta (GSK3-beta)
and inactivate it [11]. GSK3-beta
phosphorylates conserved serines of NF-AT.
This phosphorylation promotes the nuclear exit of NF-AT,
thereby opposing
Ca(2+)-Calcineurin signaling

8-Channel MADI/AES Format Converter & Matrix Interface
The ADI-642, an 8-Channel format converter from MADI to AES and vice versa, is the latest addition to RMEs successful MADI series. Amongst other applications, the unit can serve as ideal AES/EBU frontend for the Hammerfall DSP MADI PCI card. Up to 192 kHz at 24-Bit are supported. Its most outstanding feature is an easy-to-use 72 x 74 routing matrix, which can assign an individual input channel to every single output channel, allowing free configuration of all 64 MADI channels and the 8 AES channels.

Connectivity and Features
Additional features include:
- direct support for MADI Double and Quad Wire
- Automatic Delay Compensation when using more than one unit
- Analog stereo monitor output, up to 192 kHz
- Detailed status display for MADI and AES
- Completely remote controllable via MIDI
- Transfer of MIDI data via MADI
- SteadyClock for maximum jitter reduction and clock regeneration
The compact unit with 19" width and 1 unit height serves as format converter MADI to/from AES (Schematic View). MADI handles 64 channels of 24-Bit audio at sampling frequencies up to 48kHz, 32 channels up to 96kHz, and 16 channels up to 192kHz. All channels are transferred across a single cable, either coaxial (BNC) or optical network cable. In both cases, cable lengths of more than 100 meters can be achieved. The AES/EBU channels are provided via 4 XLR inputs and outputs, respectively. The ADI-642 accepts 56 channels and 64 channels as well as 96k frame at its input, and can be set to generate those formats at its output. This way the ADI-642 even serves as perfect interface between otherwise incompatible MADI devices.
A fully automatic input selection between optical and coaxial input offers a useful redundancy mode for critical applications. Extensive status displays give information about Lock and Sync states, audio content and the physical quality of the incoming signal.
The ADI-642 supplies word clock in Single, Double und Quad Speed, distributes Double Wire 96kHz signals into the MADI data stream and to the AES ports, and even supports the double MADI sample rate (96K frame). The SyncAlign ® and SyncCheck ® technologies known from other RME products ensure perfect synchronization and clear detection of errors. Also multiple units can be stacked and operated sample-aligned, using word clock. All settings are stored when the unit is switched off.
Additionally the ADI-642 features an easy-to-use 72 x 74 Matrix Router. An input signal can be assigned to every output channel, both for AES and MADI. This not only allows free signal routing during format conversion, but also forwarding and routing of signals within the same format. An input signal can also be distributed to any number of outputs. With more than one ADI-642, several MADI signals can be combined (merged) to one MADI stream.
16 MIDI channels can be transferred across MADI (even with 64 audio channels). The device can be fully remote controlled and configured via MIDI, and all status displays can be queried through MIDI. Each ADI-642 can be given a separate ID, allowing separate remote controllability of various devices with only one MIDI channel.
Application examples:
- AES/EBU frontend for RME's HDSP MADI
- AES/EBU breakout box for any MADI device
- Digital Multicore, allowing signal transfer across long distances with a single cable
- MADI coaxial/optical or vice versa converter
- MADI redistributor, patchbay and router
- AES/MADI inserter
- Madi Merger
RMEs SteadyClock(TM) lets the ADI-642 use MADI without an additional word clock connection, and guarantees excellent clock quality in every situation. Due to the highly efficient jitter reduction, any clock signal (even AES and Word Clock) can be improved and refreshed, and subsequently be used as reference clock at the word clock output. Intelligent Clock Control (ICC) will retain the last valid sample frequency in case of a loss of the input signal.
The analog monitor output operates in stereo and has a low impedance. It can be used as line and headphone output and supports 192 kHz at 112 dBA SNR. The routing matrix can assign any of the 36 stereo input pairs to the monitor output.
Auto Delay Compensation
A typical application example is the use of a HDSP MADI PCI-card in a computer with the ADI-642 as external AES interface. (schematic view) As MADI transmits 64 channels, up to eight ADI-642 can be used to provide all 64 channels via 32 AES I/Os. The integrated Matrix Router makes such a setup easy to be configured. The MADI signal is passed through from device to device. When passing through the MADI signal, a delay of a few samples per ADI-642 occurs, causing the AES inputs and outputs to show an offset. This problem is fixed by the Automatic Delay Compensation. Each ADI-642 automatically detects which unit it is within the chain, and corrects the AES input and output data so that all AES I/Os operate sample-aligned. The additional Auto Configuration mode sets up all ADI-642 to use consecutive AES I/Os. A manual configuration via each unit's Matrix is not required.
The ADI-642 is compatible to MADI interfaces of companies like Sony, Merging, Lawo, Euphonix, Stagetec, Jünger, Audio Service, AMS and others.

Over at DorkbotPDX in Portland, a member showed up with a stack of large LCD displays from point of sale terminals. [Paul] took it upon himself to reverse engineer the displays so that they can be recycled in future projects.
The control circuit for this LCD resides on a rather large PCB with quite a variety of components. The board was reduced to three main components: an MSM6255 display controller, a 32k RAM chip which is used as the framebuffer, and a tri-state driver.
With all the unneeded components out of the way, a custom board based around an ATmega88 MCU was added. This board was soldered in to interface with the LCD controller's bus. This allows data to be written from the 128k flash ROM on the custom board into the frame buffer. Once this is done, the display controller will display the data on the LCD.
Now that data could be written, [Paul] figured out the correct configuration for the display controller. That was the final piece in getting images to show up correctly on the display. If you happen to find some old Micros 2700 POS terminals, [Paul]'s detailed write-up will help you scavenge the displays.
