Jess and Taylor bought me a new Onkyo TX-NR545 receiver for my Bday last month.
My only issue is, I really want to use this in my main system, but there is no way to wire as a preamp, and I have to use the Sunfire 300x2 to push my Amazings.
Looks like the Zone 2 might be a viable option to feeding a second amp. Can't tell if it'd have volume control though. If not you'd have to use something else for that. The difficulty is simple use for others usually. Seperate full surround set of speakers for "normal" use maybe?
Another lesser option would be to use something to decode from the HDMI. If you have a TV with HDMI that happens to have some kind of audio out function you might figure a way to use that.
Headphone output with a special cable might be another slightly weird way.
Kind of surprised it doesn't look like it has a digital out. Guess too many folks don't do that to include it.
A lot of modern features it looks like. Good luck finding something that works out!
Yeah, the first thing I tried was zone two, but no volume control.
I hate to ask a stupid question, but no way to use the main speakers out through another device?
I have the receiver hooked direct to the Amazings now, and they sound ok, but definately lack the full sound and balls.
Seems strange to have all the other bells and whistles, but missing some basics.
Bob made an adapter for the speaker level dropped down to line level. What was that? And short of finding one of those today, doesn't someone else make one now? The question with that is will it sound better done that way. I'd think somewhat. You then get the receiver distortion, but the adapter will be providing very little load and therefore should have very little distortion added.
That type of thing might make it all more user friendly than trying a secondary volume control solution.
Chris I recently acquired a Carver CM-1090 integrated amp and I'm using the Z-1 coupler Jesse shared the link to. That's the ticket!!!
Awesome Carver help.. You guys & gals came thru again with a solution.
Just bought it! Imd him and had it shipped today.
He has 3 more if anyone needs one.
The Z1 is a pair of transformers, to adapt impedances. Same trick is used in all the True Subs.
Got all the modern bells and whistles on the Onkyo, and the power of the Sunfire!
Anyone want to buy a TGP-IV?
Yeah, not sure what happened?? I have a few friends who use the Z-1 and I've never heard of any issues. If the receiver crapped out hopefully its under warranty?


Individuals with IED are more likely to report lifetime prevalence of ED, particularly bulimic spectrum disorders. This finding, and the observation that the onset of IED occurs prior to the onset of ED in the majority of individuals, suggests that longitudinal studies are needed to clarify this relationship and determine whether IED is a risk factor for the development of ED. Early identification of individuals with IED or impulsive aggression may provide clinically useful information to determine most effective treatment interventions.


Giving credence to the phrase "everything old is new again." I HEART HUCKABEES is a pleasing throwback to the 1960's. Not unlike Mike Myers's pop-edelic Austin Powers sagas, HUCKABEES is as much a taste of nostalgia as it is a pleasurable respite from the blood-soaked Quentin Tarantino legacy of the 1990's (which fittingly enough is little more than a dirtied up version of the tough-guy B-movies of the 1950's).
At any rate, HUCKABEES is a clear descendant of films like MORGAN!, LORD LOVE A DUCK, YOU'RE A BIG BOY NOW, HAROLD AND MAUDE, not to mention THE GRADUATE and a variety of other films that feature disillusioned young men trying to find meaning to life and purpose in existence in a world of absurdity. Not surprisingly, I suppose, once again America is in a troubled war, political protest is almost tiresomely routine and society is defined by extreme political, social and ethical differences. At a time when we are bombarded from an untold number of sources about how we should talk, think and act (left-wing politically correct conformity strangely mirroring the right-wing cold war conformity of the 1950's), HUCKABEES turns to a radically old-fashioned concept: Go figure it out for yourself.
In a press release for HUCKABEES, director David O. Russell writes "Philosophy interests me only insofar as it is practical and makes people feel more alive and open -- not closed." As such HUCKABEES doesn't seem so much aimed at presenting Russell's personal philosophy so much as musing over some of the possibilities. The film revolves around Albert Markovski (played by Jason Schwartzman, as sort of Russell's surrogate), a not-particularly-successful environmentalist. Albert has a rivalry with/ friendship to /hatred of /crush on Brad Strand (Jude Law), a corporate cog who works for Huckabees, a Wal-Mart-like chain wanting to place a new store on a plot of landscape that Albert is doing a rather poor job of protecting. For different reasons, they both turn to "existential detectives" Bernard and Vivian Jaffe, (Dustin Hoffman and Lily Tomlin), who presumably investigate/stalk their clients to figure out what makes them tick. Basically, Bernard and Vivian are a conscience for hire. Hot on Bernard and Vivian's heels is Caterine Vauban (Isabell Huppert), an ex-pupil turned rival, who is bent on spreading the word that life is meaningless and valueless.
In battling for Albert's psyche, if not his soul, the two factions offer conflicting views of the world. Bernard argues that life is a blanket, one interconnecting fabric of existence where all things are related. Caterine offers a world of random chaos where values are arbitrary. Being versus nothingness. Responsibility versus indifference. Hope versus despair. Light versus dark. Good versus evil.
As philosophy, it is probably pretty simplistic, but philosophy isn't the point so much as the absurdity of life which makes it so difficult to keep one's bearings. If Albert (and Russell) never quite cut through the chaos and ultimately only find peace through compromise, that is probably the best anyone can really hope for. But like any movie (or mystery or therapy) the ending is possibly not necessarily as important as the journey getting there. Which is a good thing for HUCKABEES because the film gradually peters out, but it is an unpredictable ride, shared with oddball characters, while it lasts.
And it is something of a sentimental journey. I doubt it is entirely a coincidence that Schartzman bears more than a passing resemblance to a youthful Hoffman (in a Beatles' haircut, no less), whose performance in THE GRADUATE will forever grant him iconic status as a symbol of the 1960's. HUCKABEES echoes many of the themes from that 1968 landmark film: the questioning of prevailing values, battling consumerism, searching for identity and, last but not least, seduction by an older woman.
Though not entirely successful, there is something just so wonderfully refreshing about I HEART HUCKABEES. It is a film that tries to be about ideas, without being self-consciously pretentious, like Woody Allen. It flirts with the sweetness of a Spielberg film, but in the humanistic style of a Robert Altman, but without his souring streak of cynicism. But most of all it stays miles away from the cold-blooded nihilism of Scorsese, Tarantino and the bunch. This is a film without villains, only comrades who, to one degree or another, are searching for peace of mind.
Catherine Deneuve was originally cast as Caterine Vauban, but dropped out a month before shooting began.
When Brad is speaking with Bernard and Vivian in his office (near the end of the film), the football changes position after he sets it down on his desk - in one shot you see the strings and in the next, you don't.

Some same-sex couples will still face hurdles accessing church's marriage rites
Mary Frances Schjonberg
[Episcopal News Service] There are times when the Episcopal – and Anglican – tendency toward compromise makes for differing interpretations on how far the church's big tent has been stretched, and what it all means for the people seeking shelter under its flaps.
The latest example is the recent 79th General Convention's passage of often-rewritten and often-amended Resolution B012, designed to give all Episcopalians unfettered access to two trial-use marriage rites that were approved in 2015, days after U.S. Supreme Court ruling legalized same-sex marriage nationwide. B012 was passed in response to the refusal by eight of the diocesan bishops in the church's 101 domestic dioceses to "make provision for all couples asking to be married in this church to have access to these liturgies." They did not authorize use of the rites and required couples wanting to use them to be married outside their diocese and away from their home church.

When Resolution B012 becomes effective on the First Sunday of Advent, Dec. 2, same-sex couples in most of those dioceses still will have to go through some steps that are not required of straight couples, even though the resolution moved the authority for deciding to use the rites from the diocesan bishop to their parish priests.
The compromise that B012 represents is a "classically Anglican solution" to help same-sex couples in all dioceses use the rites in their home parishes and give bishops who oppose such marriages "a way to live within the canons of the church and yet still not violate their theological conscience," according to the Rev. Susan Russell, a deputy from Los Angeles and longtime leader in the effort for full inclusion of LGBTQ people in the life of the church.
Russell, who worked for what she has called the "hard-won compromise" of B012, told Episcopal News Service that "bishops are going to do what they're going to do, but that doesn't mean that that isn't what the resolution says, that isn't what the resolution is requiring. They're making those choices on their own."
She said there is a "relatively broad continuum of how [the resolution] is being interpreted or misinterpreted or framed and/or distorted."
The Rev. Susan Russell, a deputy from Los Angeles, has called the final version of Resolution B012, among other things, "a great teachable moment for the wider church about actually how our polity works, about the reality that the rector does have the prerogative or the charge to make those choices." Photo: Screenshot from on-demand video
The pertinent part of B012 says that when a bishop "holds a theological position that does not embrace marriage for same-sex couples, and there is a desire to use such rites by same-sex couples in a congregation or worshipping community, the bishop exercising ecclesiastical authority (or ecclesiastical supervision) shall invite, as necessary, another bishop of this Church to provide pastoral support to the couple, the Member of the Clergy involved and the congregation or worshipping community in order to fulfill the intention of this resolution that all couples have convenient and reasonable local congregational access to these rites."
For the bishops who have prohibited same-sex marriage in their dioceses and denied use of the trial-use rites (and required same-sex couples to go elsewhere in the church to get married), it comes down to the interpretation of the words "shall invite, as necessary." Six of the eight bishops have publicly said that they would require the assistance of another bishop for clergy who want to use the rites.
They are interpreting B012 as requiring – or allowing them to require – the involvement of another bishop. Some of those bishops have said that mission congregations in their diocese, where the bishop is effectively the rector, will not be allowed to use the rites.
California Deputy Christopher Hayes told Episcopal News Service that he believes General Convention overwhelmingly passed Resolution B012 to give bishops with a theological objection to same-sex marriage a place to stand within the order and discipline of the Episcopal Church while giving same-sex couples "an equal place in the church." Photo: Screenshot from on-demand video
California Deputy Christopher Hayes, who helped lead the revision of B012 and then proposed it to the House of Deputies, agreed with Russell's sense of the hard compromise that the final version of B012 represents.
"Some of us who had hoped to see these liturgies become part of the prayer book or at least be on track to become part of the prayer book did not get as much as we would have liked to see," Hayes told ENS. "People on the other side of the issue prevailed on that issue, but they do not get to have entire dioceses where same-sex couples are forbidden from being married. I'm concerned that these are efforts to undermine the compromise."
Russell, Hayes and other framers of the revised resolution say that B012 does not require the involvement of a bishop, except to deal with a canonical provision about remarriage after divorce. Canon I.19.3 (page 60 here) requires priests to show their bishops (or the bishop in the diocese in which the service is planned) that they have verified the annulment or dissolution of a divorced person's previous marriage, and that they discussed with the couple the need to show "continuing concern" for the well-being of the former spouse, and of any children. Resolution B012 specifically notes that this requirement applies to same-sex couples as well as opposite-sex ones and requires a bishop who opposes such marriage to invite another bishop to provide the needed consent.
The framers changed the original version of B012, proposed by Long Island Bishop Lawrence Provenzano, to remove its requirement that congregations wishing to use the rites but whose bishop objected could ask for the 14-year-old option of Delegated Episcopal Pastoral Oversight (DEPO) and the bishop would have to grant it. The House of Bishops devised DEPO in 2004 for congregations that so severely disagree with their diocesan bishops on matter of human sexuality and other theological matters that their relationship is completely broken.
"We worked really hard to not use DEPO language in that resolution," Vermont Bishop Tom Ely, who also worked on the resolution, told ENS. "We did not feel it was necessary because we kept hearing in the hearings [at convention] from those bishops that they had great relationships with the congregations. There were just some who didn't agree with them" on this issue.
East Carolina Deputy Joan Geiszler-Ludlum, who chaired General Convention's Task Force on the Study of Marriage and worked on the B012 compromise, "implored" deputies on the final day of convention to adopt the final version of the resolution. She later told Episcopal News Service that "clergy have shelter" on both sides of same-sex marriage: they can choose to perform them, and choose not to, although she hopes the resolution's provisions will encourage more priests to "begin to see their way into doing this."

A summary of where the eight bishops stand now
Albany Bishop William Love has not said whether he will require such outside support. He passionately conveyed his opposition to the resolution during debate in the House of Bishops. Love has scheduled a Sept. 6 meeting with the diocesan clergy "to discuss their concerns and the potential impact of B012 on the clergy and parishes of the diocese."
Central Florida Bishop Greg Brewer spoke on July 21 about his commitment to implement B012. However, he later told ENS that he has not yet worked out the details of his plan. Jim Christoph, senior warden of St. Richard's Episcopal Church in Winter Park, Florida, a congregation that has advocated for marriage equality in the diocese, was at the July 21 gathering and told ENS that Brewer was clear that the resolution did not call for "a DEPO mechanism" but a more limited arrangement for oversight by another bishop. Christoph said he understood that Brewer will require the vestry to agree with the clergy's desire to use the rites.
Dallas Bishop George Sumner, likewise, is still working out the details of his plan, but he said on July 19 that any parish wishing to use the rites will need to have another bishop handle all of that congregation's pastoral oversight, provide confirmation and manage the process of people discerning a call to ordination.
Florida Bishop John Howard told his diocese earlier this month that he is "committed to honoring Resolution B012" even though he opposes same-sex marriage. He said he would work with clergy "to find a fellow bishop willing to undertake pastoral oversight" in accordance with the resolution.
North Dakota Bishop Michael Smith said that DEPO will serve as "a roadmap for these matters" in his diocese. However, he did not say whether that "supplemental episcopal pastoral care" would involve more that same-sex weddings.
Springfield Bishop Dan Martins said that he will at first require that a congregation's "ministry leadership team" meet with him "to discern whether there is indeed a consensus around the desire to hold such a ceremony." If so, they will agree to "the terms, conditions, and length of the relationship" with another bishop who will provide all episcopal functions.
Tennessee Bishop John Bauerschmidt calls B012 "a creative application of the principle of the local adaptation of the historic episcopate" that sets up "a particular structure that upholds the bishop's unique role as chief pastor and teacher and presider at the liturgy," even when the bishop cannot support same-sex marriage. Bauerschmidt said he will consult with clergy and vestries that desire to use the rites and will ask another bishop to provide the pastoral care to ensure that the trial liturgies will be available in the diocese.
Virgin Islands Bishop Ambrose Gumbs told ENS via email on Aug. 9 that he will not ask clergy to request pastoral support from another bishop. "As the bishop of the diocese, I should be able to provide pastoral support to clergy who request it," he wrote. "I am committed to following the mind of the church."
Hayes said, "I commend Bishop Gumbs for stating that he will make provisions for priests to perform marriages for same-sex couples in their parishes and that he is committed to providing full pastoral support for those priests." He noted that the diocese is in "a legally anomalous position." The U.S. Virgin Islands has civil marriage equality, but the British Virgin Islands, which are also part of the diocese, does not.
Working out B012 in Tennessee
Indie Pereira, who serves on the vestry of St. Philip's Episcopal Church in Nashville, told ENS that she is "cautiously optimistic" about the stance Bauerschmidt has taken. "We'll wait and see about how the details work out," she said.
Four couples at St. Philip's hope to use the rites, but some members oppose same-sex marriage, she said.
The vestry plans to use an outside facilitator "to help us come to a consensus as a parish" before the clergy move forward, she said.
Pereira and her partner, who wed civilly during the time when Bauerschmidt required same-sex couples to be married in the Diocese of Kentucky, want to have their marriage blessed in their home church. "We're pretty hopeful," she said. "More hopeful than I have been in a long time."
Connally Davies Penley, who helped form the advocacy group All Sacraments for All People, or ASAP, in the Diocese of Tennessee, told ENS that she is grateful that the bishop "is conforming to the vote taken at General Convention."
"One of the gifts that John [Bauserschmidt] has brought to the diocese is that he really cares about unity, unity within the diocese and unity with the church," she said. "He is really moving in a way that we can stay together. I am grateful for that."
And in Dallas
The Rev. Casey Shobe, rector of Church of the Transfiguration in Dallas, told ENS that he and Sumner have discussed the bishop's "draft plan for how he envisions trying to implement this."
Shobe called it "a way forward that would potentially allow us to have even greater pastoral oversight from a visiting bishop beyond just the issue of marriage." That, he said, could mean this bishop would perform confirmation, license clergy and supervise the discernment for those considering a call to ordination, including LGBTQ persons.
"We are comfortable with this proposal, because it would result in Transfiguration experiencing a big leap forward on a set of matters that are deeply important to us, which have consistently kept us at odds with our bishop in the past," he said.
After convention approved the rites in 2015, Shobe said he did not ask Sumner for DEPO because he was not given assurance he and the congregation would not be punished for performing same-sex marriages even under the oversight of another bishop. The diocese's canons prohibit same-sex marriage. Instead, Shobe and others spent the time until the Austin meeting advocating for convention to help remedy the issue.
Meanwhile, eight couples went elsewhere to be married by other clergy. Shobe says Transfiguration hopes next year to have a "significant celebration and renewal of vows" for those people. He also anticipates a number of "long-expected and hoped for weddings" taking place at the Dallas church in 2019 and 2020.
A different ecclesiology in Dallas and Springfield
Sumner of Dallas and Martins of Springfield contend that their understanding of their episcopal ministry means that any congregation wishing to use the rites must be assigned another bishop for all of their congregation's spiritual, pastoral and sacramental oversight.
Sumner said in his letter that he cannot "by conscience and conviction" oversee a parish using these rites because "a bishop and his or her doctrinal teaching cannot be separated."
"Let me emphasize that this referral will not [occur] because of any anger, breakdown of pastoral relation, or rejection — it is because of a deep difference in theology," he said.
Springfield Bishop Dan Martins, shown here speaking to the House of Bishops during General Convention, says there must be a "firewall" between congregations in his diocese who want to solemnize the marriages of same-sex couples and him, because he opposes such unions. Photo: Screenshot from on-demand video
Martins summed it up this way in an interview with ENS: "The theology that runs behind this viewpoint is that all sacramental ministry, all ordained ministry, in a diocese is a derivative of the bishop's ministry. There's nothing that can happen that can be separated from that. There's no way that we can have our spiritual fingerprints on it or canonical fingerprints for that matter."
He said in his letter that "there must be a robust firewall between a community that receives same-sex marriage into its life, along with its clergy, and the rest of the diocese, including and especially the bishop. This does not have to mean that there is anger, rancor, or anything but sincere love between such a congregation and the diocese."
And, he told ENS, his July 2015 prohibition against Springfield clergy using the rites outside of the diocese still applies. "I'm hoping canonically resident clergy will take me at my word," he told ENS, and respect his teaching about marriage and respect their oath of obedience to their bishop.
Hayes, who is also the chancellor of the Diocese of California, said the view of the episcopate that Sumner and Martins hold is not supported by the Episcopal Church's canons, which vest control of a congregation's worship with the clergy member in charge.
"The bishop's obligation is to provide for there to be sufficient clergy to serve the needs of the people, and to be sure that the canons and rubrics are obeyed," he said. "The bishop does not have the right to say, 'I disagree with the priest's lawful use of those liturgies that conform to the rubrics and canons.' The bishop simply does not have that right and never has, not in our tradition."
Hayes added that "what's of more concern to me is that they seem to be using it as, I'm sorry to say, an intimidation tactic" to force congregations to into a DEPO situation if their clergy want to these rites.
"They're putting up hurdles that are not contemplated in the resolution or authorized by canons," he said. "A rector does not need to consult with the bishop about the use of an authorized liturgy of the church."
That, Hayes said, is a canonical provision that dates to 1904 and has its roots in the traditions of the Church of England. (Canon III.9.6(a)(1a) at page 91 here. More background is available in the highlighted sections on pages 818, 826, and 855–856 here.)

On its way to passage, the eight bishops called for an amendment to B012 to say that nothing in the resolution narrows the authority of the rector or priest-in-charge, as outlined in that canon, Ely said. It was meant to protect clergy who did not want to offer the rites, but, he said, it also applies to clergy who do want to use them and whose bishops not approve.
"If you need to put up 27 hoops to make your clergy jump through in order to provide local access, that's a pastoral decision you are making," Ely said. "I don't think you need to, but if you believe you need to, then craft it in a way that it works but make sure it works."
During convention, the California deputation shared a table in the House of Deputies with that of Springfield, and Hayes said the deputies spoke about belonging together despite disagreeing about marriage.
"We belong together despite disagreeing on this issue and that has been part of what defines Anglicanism for 500 years," he said. "The issues of Protestant versus Catholic were a lot harder to bridge than this issue of marriage. They go much deeper into the creeds. To have people who agree about every word of the Nicene Creed say we can't be in relationship with each other because we disagree about marriage is really is a misapprehension of what we're called to be as church."

20:18 ScienceDaily.com Mirror-image peptides form 'rippled sheet' structure predicted in 1953
By mixing a small peptide with equal amounts of its mirror image, scientists have created an unusual protein structure known as a 'rippled beta sheet' and obtained images of it using x-ray crystallography. The rippled sheet is a distinctive variation on the pleated beta sheet, which is a well-known structural motif found in thousands of proteins, including important disease-related proteins. Linus Pauling and Robert Corey described the rippled beta sheet in 1953, two years after introducing the concept of the pleated beta sheet.

Bimetallic sulfides are apt to form the heterointerfaces which is able to modify the surface properties of particles and enhance the stability and the photocatalytic performances. h-BN has been proved to be a prospective support for different composites because of its diversified sheet structure, higher surface area, chemical resistance, can effectively increase the accessible superficial area of loaded catalysts and supply abundant active sites.

In this image, the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope captures a side-on view of NGC 3568, a barred spiral galaxy roughly 57 million light-years from the Milky Way in the constellation Centaurus. In 2014 the light from a supernova explosion in NGC 3568 reached Earth—a sudden flare of light caused by the titanic explosion accompanying the death of a massive star. While most astronomical discoveries are the work of teams of professional astronomers, this supernova was discovered by amateur astronomers who are part of the Backyard Observatory Supernova Search in New Zealand. Dedicated amateur astronomers often make intriguing discoveries—particularly of fleeting astronomical phenomena such as supernovae and comets.

While they have long been a subject of academic study, social virtual reality (SVR) systems are now attracting increasingly large audiences on current consumer virtual reality systems. The design space of SVR systems is very large, and relatively little is known about how these systems should be constructed in order to be usable and efficient. In this paper we present Ubiq, a toolkit that focuses on facilitating the construction of SVR systems. We argue for the design strategy of Ubiq and its scope. Ubiq is built on the Unity platform. It provides core functionality of many SVR systems such as connection management, voice, avatars, etc. However, its design remains easy to extend. We demonstrate examples built on Ubiq and how it has been successfully used in classroom teaching. Ubiq is open source (Apache License) and thus enables several use cases that commercial systems cannot.

Dr. Dulbecco's early work on bacterial viruses led to the development of methods for investigating the process of viral infection of normal cells in culture. Application of these methods to the study of the transformation of normal cells into cancer cells by polyoma virus, a DNA-containing virus, resulted in the important finding that cancerous transformation can occur in the absence of virus multiplication. This finding suggests the possibility that integration of the viral DNA—the genetic material of the virus—into the DNA of the recipient cells may be the factor that triggers the transformation of normal cells into cancer cells.
Following the initial transformation, which is the result of a release from normal regulation of cell multiplication, successive generations of cells become increasingly malignant. Dr. Dulbecco correlated this increase in malignancies with irregularities in the process of multiplication of the cells' chromosomes. This irregularity may lead to hereditary alteration of the cells and the continuous selection of cells of higher and higher malignancy.
Dr. Dulbecco showed further that the DNA of the polyoma virus exists in two forms, a linear and a ring form. Both forms give rise to new virus and to cancer when they enter receptive cells, but the ring form is more active. Dr. Dulbecco's outstanding work, together with Dr. Rubin's studies on tumor-producing RNA viruses, promises to contribute decisively to our eventual understanding of the nature of cancer.
Dr. Rubin's work has given new insight into the mode in which cancer-producing RNA viruses bring about the transformation of normal cells into cancer cells while disclosing, at the same time, other facts of broad biological significance. He found that avian leukosis—a form of leukemia produced by certain strains of an RNA-containing virus—is transmitted to the progeny through the egg, but not through the sperm. This indicates that the genetic material of the RNA-containing tumor viruses does not become associated with the chromosomes of recipient cells.
While working in Dr. Dulbecco's laboratory, Dr. Rubin developed a method for the study of the tumoral transformation of cultured chick cells by the Rous sarcoma virus, an RNA virus. When applying this method later to this problem, he found that the Rous virus actually consists of two viruses. These two viruses were separated, and Rous virus alone caused the malignant transformation, but the transformed cells contained no infectious virus even after many passages. The other virus, known to cause chicken leukosis, did not cause malignant transformation although it multiplied in all cells. When leukosis virus was added to the cells transformed into cancer cells from the Rous virus alone, the cells produced not only the leukosis virus but also Rous virus. Obviously the Rous virus was defective in that only the RNA was being replicated in these cells. The virus could not mature without the help of a second virus, called a helper virus, which provides its protein coat to the Rous virus.
The work of Drs. Rubin and Dulbecco proves that cells can carry for many generations a foreign nucleic acid, whether RNA or DNA, that is responsible for the malignant properties of these cells.
These brilliant scientists have translated their laboratory precision of today into definitive guidelines for the cancer research of tomorrow. Their contributions have sped the day when research will eradicate this most dreaded of all diseases.

It's been over a year since Sherlock fans last saw their favorite crime-solving duo together on the small screen, and they probably shouldn't expect a reunion anytime soon.
Stars Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman seem to be mixed on the potential for future seasons, as Freeman recently said that he doesn't enjoy the role anymore. The actor claimed that fans' expectations were at an all-time high, making the process that much more stressful.
Holmes and Watson are back, this time in Victorian garb for a 'horror story/mystery' based loosely on a Conan Doyle short story.
"It's not fun anymore," he told The Telegraph, comparing Sherlock to a "mini-Beatles thing."
Freeman, who starred in the first season of FX's hit series Fargo alongside Billy-Bob Thorton, was recently seen in the Marvel blockbuster Black Panther. Meanwhile, Cumberbatch also stars in the Marvel Universe as Doctor Strange. And though they have this in common, they can't be more different on the topic of Sherlock.
Following Freeman's statements, Cumberbatch was asked about his perspective, and based on his response, he clearly disagrees.
"It's pretty pathetic if that's all it takes to let you not want to take a grip of your reality. What, because of expectations? I don't know. I don't necessarily agree with that," Cumberbatch told The Telegraph.
"There's a level of obsession where [the franchise] becomes theirs even though we're the ones making it. But I just don't feel affected by that in the same way, I have to say," he continued.
While we can't say for sure whether their varying opinions impact the potential for future Sherlock seasons, one thing is for sure — as of now, there are no known plans for a fifth season.


The ultra rare Ferrari 625 TRC Spider with its fine coachwork by Scaglietti is one of the most exceptional cars ever created. Ferrari made only two of these 625 TRC Spiders. The Ferrari 625 TRC Spider was one of the first Ferrari cars designated with the mystical name "Testa Rossa". This ultra rare Ferrari 625 TRC Spider will will be up for auction at the RM Auctions' eagerly-awaited biennial event in Monaco, coinciding with the 8th Grand Prix de Monaco Historique. The estimate is still to be determined...but expect to dig deep in your offshore trust fund for this one, the nouveau riche from the Middle East, Russia and China are expected to face off with European and American collectors.

US Retail Sales Plunged a Record 16% in April as Virus Hit
By JOSH BOAK and ANNE D'INNOCENZIO The Associated Press
BALTIMORE (AP) — U.S. retail sales tumbled by a record 16.4% from March to April as business shutdowns caused by the coronavirus kept shoppers away, threatened the viability of stores across the country and further weighed down a sinking economy.
The Commerce Department's report Friday on retail purchases showed a sector that has collapsed so fast that sales over the past 12 months are down a crippling 21.6%. The severity of the decline is unrivaled for retail figures that date back to 1992. The monthly decline in April nearly doubled the previous record drop of 8.3% — set just one month earlier.
"It's like a hurricane came and leveled the entire economy, and now we're trying to get it back up and running," said Joshua Shapiro, chief U.S. economist for the consultancy Maria Fiorini Ramirez.
Shapiro said he thinks retail sales should rebound somewhat as states and localities reopen their economies. But he said overall sales would remain depressed "because there is going to be a big chunk of the lost jobs that don't come back."
The sharpest declines from March to April were at clothing, electronics and furniture stores. A long-standing migration of consumers toward online purchases is accelerating, with that segment posting a 8.4% monthly gain. Measured year over year, online sales surged 21.6%.
Other than online, not a single retail category was spared in April. Auto dealers suffered a monthly drop of 13%. Furniture stores absorbed a 59% plunge. Electronics and appliance stores were down over 60%. Retailers that sell building materials posted a drop of roughly 3%. After panic buying in March, grocery sales fell 13%.
Clothing-store sales tumbled 79%, department stores 29%. Restaurants, some of which are already starting to close permanently, endured a nearly 30% decline despite shifting aggressively to takeout and delivery orders.
For a retail sector that had already been reeling, a back-to-back free-fall in spending poses a grave risk. Department stores, restaurants and auto dealerships are in danger. Nearly $1 of every $5 spent at retailers last month went to non-store retailers, evidence that the pandemic has accelerated the shift toward online shopping.
In the past two weeks, J.Crew, Neiman Marcus and Stage Stores have filed for bankruptcy protection. J.C. Penney appears on the verge of following them. UBS estimates that roughly 100,000 stores could shutter over the next five years.
"The whole economic model is unraveling," Neil Saunders, managing director of GlobalData Retail. "This is going to be very painful. For some, it's going to be fatal."
Retailers are being imperiled not only by business shutdowns mandated by states and localities but also by a record loss of 36 million jobs over the past two months. The unemployed typically pull back sharply on retail purchases.
An April analysis by a group of academic economists found that a one-month closure could wipe out 31% of non-grocer retailers. A four-month closure could force 65% to close.
The plunge in retail spending is a key reason why the U.S. economy is contracting. Retail sales account for roughly half of all consumer spending, which fuels about 70% of economic activity. The rest of consumer spending includes services such as cellphone and internet contracts, gym memberships and child care.
With few Americans shopping, traveling, eating out or otherwise spending normally, economists are projecting that the gross domestic product — the broadest gauge of economic activity — is shrinking in the April-June quarter at a roughly 40% annual rate. That would be the deepest quarterly drop on record.
The pandemic is not only depressing overall retail sales but also forcing shifts in what people do buy as they adjust to working at home. CSolutions, which monitors sales of packaged goods, has noted a shift to comfort and convenience. Sales of baking flour, tomato sauces, ice cream, premixed cocktails and breakfast sausages have surged from a year ago.
Pajama-buying rocketed 143% from March to April, according to Adobe Analytics, which monitors online retailers. By contrast, sales of pants, jackets and bras have declined.
Spending tracked by Opportunity Insights suggests that consumer spending might have bottomed out around mid-April before beginning to tick up slightly, at least in the clothing and general merchandise categories. But spending on transportation, restaurants, hotels and arts and entertainment remains severely depressed.
Credit card purchases tracked by JPMorgan Chase found that spending on such necessities as groceries, fuel, phone service and auto repair declined 20% on a year-over-year basis. By contrast, spending on "non-essentials," such as meals out, airfare and personal services like salons or yoga classes, plummeted by a much worse 50%.

Deciding to be an entrepreneur takes a lot of guts. It also takes slight delirium and denial. Denial of the idea a 9-to-6 (or 7,8) leads to prosperity. Delirium because you really believe that one day you can truly do what you love and get paid for it.
It can be a recipe for either greatness or disaster. Regardless of your decision, there will be times when you'll have to walk alone. Not everyone will get it. Not everyone will be empathetic towards your woes. Sometimes you'll really feel alone.
In those moments you'll find a testament of how strong you are/can be when no one gets it. Instead of fearing being alone, you'll find solitude in some peace in yourself.
I do a lot of things alone. I've come to really enjoy my me time and dates with myself. I go to matinees by myself. I take myself to dinner I shop alone on occasion.
But back to matinees. It's funny to me that people balk at me going to the movies alone. Technically at the movies I'm not going to talk during the show AND when I want to go to the movies I don't have to wait for someone else. I can just go on my time. It's pretty simple. Of all things someone wouldn't want to do alone, the movies seem to be the biggest cardinal sin. I'm not talking to you during the movie! I remember a friend and I went to the movies. She talked during the "non-speaking" parts. We never went to the movies together after that.
As this post goes from deep to comical, which was my intent, embrace being alone. You can find your peace or even your big break.

T.I. Joined Anderson .Paak's Coachella Set
blame it on Patrick Glynn April 18, 2016
Unfortunately (maybe fortunately), I've never experienced Coachella. Based on reviews and the most wonderful place for raw emotion and reaction — the Internet — the festival has turned into a three-day, two-weekend joke. The particularly planned-out outfits worn by people who struggle to name three artists at the festival, taking pictures of a celebrity wearing a somewhat-similar outfit as them rubbing their last bit of cocaine on their gums. But it's all fun, is seems. The reunions (LCD Soundsystem, Guns N Roses and NWA — kind of — this year) and surprise appearances (Kanye West, Nas) keep some people at the festival and most of the people on the Internet interested. Which is what brings me to this post.
Lost in all the big names — Kanye, Rihanna — who showed up at Coachella, Anderson .Paak brought out T.I. during his set. You thought the same thing I did: Tip and .Paak have never worked together. I know. "So why was T.I. there," you thought. I know. And I'm here to guess one thing and one thing only: these two have something planned together. While they didn't perform anything new — T.I. performed "About The Money" and "Bring 'Em Out" backed by the Free Nationals — there HAD to be a reason T.I. was there, right??? .Paak is hot commodity right now, and with Tip planning to release The Dime Trap this year, I'm hype for anything these two wind up doing together.
Check out some short videos from the performances. (S/o to Pitchfork) Hopefully we get extended ones soon.

Q: Sorting a list of elements in a list based on last few characters i have a list containing some server names like  ['ora04900', 'ora04901', 'ora04898', 'ora04903'].
How can i sort these server names based on the last 3 digits in each element of the list?

A: You can use the .sort method to sort your list and as the key you indicate through a lambda that you want to use only the last three digit (x[-3:]):
servers = ['ora04900', 'ora04901', 'ora04898', 'ora04903']
servers.sort(key=lambda x: x[-3:])

Q: Updating relations using script overwrites relations for all but newest record I have a Styles (Garments) model and an Images model and a one to many Styles<=Images relationship.
I have a Cloudinary jQuery widget to upload images and then I am trying to update the Images relationship with the URL to the images. The intention is then to display these images in a table.
However, when I update the relation using my code, it only saves the newest StyleCode against the relation.
So if I save one image, then another one, the Image table goes from this:
Image URL         Style
http://abc        1234

to this
Image URL         Style
http://abc        <blank>
http://xyz        1234

My first question is, how does the relation actually work? It seems it relies on my StyleCode to keep the record relation. I would've thought it would've been _key.....????
Secondly, is there anything you can spot in my code which might be overwriting the previous StyleCode?
Server side code
function saveImageToStyle(images, styleCode) {
  var imgs = [];
  images.forEach(function(image)
  {
    var imageRecord = app.models.Images.newRecord();
    imageRecord.ThumbnailURL = image.thumbnail_url;
    imageRecord.ImageURL = image.url;
    imageRecord.Path = image.path;
    imageRecord.ImageName = image.original_filename;
    imgs.push(imageRecord);
  });
  app.saveRecords(imgs);
  var query = app.models.Styles.newQuery();
  query.filters.StyleCode._equals = styleCode; // is it this???
  var styleRecord = query.run()[0];
  styleRecord.Images = imgs;
  app.saveRecords([styleRecord]);
}

Client side code
function saveStyleImages(images) {
  var styleCode = app.datasources.Styles.item.StyleCode; // is there a better way to get the current StyleCode?
  var status = app.pages.StyleEdit.descendants.Status;
  google.script.run
  .withFailureHandler(function(error) {
    status.text = error.message;
  })
  .withSuccessHandler(function(result) {
    status.text = images + "success";
  })
  .saveImageToStyle(images, styleCode);
}

A: Looks like you can do everything on the client (if you don't have any limitations with your security model):
function addStyleImage(newImage) {
  var newImageDs = app.datasources.Styles.relation.Images.modes.create;
  var newImage = newImageDs.item;

  newImage.ThumbnailURL = image.thumbnail_url;
  newImage.ImageURL = image.url;
  newImage.Path = image.path;
  newImage.ImageName = image.original_filename;

  newImageDs.createItem(function(record) {
     // do smth with new record
  });
}

With this approach you'll immediately see new image on client (if Images relation is bound to table/list/grid).
Read more:
https://developers.google.com/appmaker/models/datasources#create_mode_datasource

A: The following line replaces all existing style associations:
styleRecord.Images = imgs;
You can replace it with:
styleRecord.Images = styleRecord.Images.concat(imgs);
