'Mass loading' loudspeakers.
My Ruark Prologue One's have the facility to be mass loaded, something which I've never tried. I don't have any specific problem with their sound that I'm trying to address, but in all the years of owning these 'speakers it's never really occurred to me to wonder what effect mass loading them might have. Certainly I've always thought that they could benefit in the (physical) stability department from a little extra weight but I don't know what effect there could be on the sound.
So before I just "suck it and see" I thought I'd canvas for opinions. Any thoughts or experiences to share?
The rest of the system is Project Xperience turntable/Ortofon Rondo Red, Trichord Dino/Dino+, Linn Karik + Numerik, Linn Kudos, Linn Wakonda + 2 x LK100 (speakers bi-amped). VDH interconnects, Nordost speaker cable.
I've got Prologue two's,when first bought, I thought they lacked some bass weight in my room, initially I mass loaded them with 1/2 bucket of Atacama Atabites each. Going by memory, this improved the bass response really well with no real negative effects on the rest of the sound spectrum. I then decided to move to a full bucket in each speaker, this tightened the sound up, however it also made it feel to me as if it has lost some of its speed and attack. Unfortunately as yet I have not worked out the safest way to get the atabites back out, assume I have to tip the speaker up and they will pour back through the hole. I am happy with the sound, though, I am inclined to think that maybe 3/4 of a bucket was actually the best compromise.
Rest of system, Linn Ikemi, Rega P2, MF Tuner, Linn Kolektor, Linn LK140, Linn LK85 (speakers bi-amped), Kimber and Atlas interconnects, Linn K400 speaker cable.
I did try mass loading with the Talisman 2 (few years back now) and I thought bass become slower! I found the Rurak produced more bass with 8 inches from the back wall....not sure would that also work with the prologue!
He just want more bass, not building a flat in the living room
Thanks everyone.
Perhaps I could ask the question a slightly different way as well. What's the idea behind mass-loading? What should I expect to happen to the sound as mass is increased? My initial thought was that if I could increase the speaker's stability a tad, then I would possibly get a crisper sound? I assume, though, that I could take it too far and deaden the speakers if I add too much?
I wasn't really expecting to have a change in bass characteristic as described above - is that a usual effect of mass loading?
Don't really want bricks hanging around in the same room as my young kids
In my experience adding mass to a speakers does a few things. It adds stability and helps to damp the cabinet. The sonic effect is usually a cleaner sound with increased bass weight. However, go too far and the low frequencies become heavy-handed and lose agility. The sound will seem slower and stodgier.
As for bricks: I suggest they work best in a wall.
Thanks. I guess I'll give it a go with Atabites and see how I get on.
What about the use of granite platforms to stand one's speakers on? Any opinions on that option?
Granite slabs will work with your speaker stand spikes to better isolate your speakers from everything else.
Mass loading increases the .... mass of your speakers. The amount your speakers vibrate (which you don't want) is proportional to how hard the cone is throwing backwards and forwards, but it is also inversly proportional to their mass. Doesn't matter how ehavy your speakers are the same amount of vibrational energy will be put into them. But if you speakers are heavier it requires more vibrational energy from the same vibrational velocity. So mass loading reduces cabinet vibrations and aids stability.
The drawback of massloading any old speaker is that the enclosure you're putting your sand/whatever into is almost certainly a tuned enclosure - unless it's a specific mass load chamber or something designed for mass loading. Adjusting the air volume inside a tuned enclosure will adjust its tuning. Also, less ar inside means your reflex ports have to do more work as the pressure differentials created by cone movements will become greater. A reduction in air volume would also change what standing waves are able to form inside the cabinet - you have the height of a box and you double the minimum frequency of a standing wave that could be set up in it. So you may circumvent the designers steps to prvent standing wave development.
Maybe all that sounds discouraging, but I'd say, done right, the drawbacks will be far outweighed by the extra bass control and depth. So I'd say do it, but don't do it too much. Try it bit by bit and a brick on the top of your speakers could instead be some kind of lead/steel block or granite...
Well the Ruarks are specifically designed to be mass loaded and do indeed appear to have a chamber for that purpose.
I'll give it a shot - thanks everyone!
I vaguely remember it, I think that you were supposed to wrap it in felt or something like that. Cannot find it yet though, have found the one about sticking a copy of Harry Potter on top of your CD player- apparently it works like magic!
I remember seeing somewhere a foam brick you could throw at your TV, if it hit the screen it turned the TV off via some remote trickery.
I know and I was joking about building a flat
but honestly bricks make no different...(sorry Andy!)

We just got video of the Serena Williams U.S. Open rant from a different perspective. It was shot by someone in the stands, and you can clearly see the frustration and anger in Serena's face as she chews out the line judge.
The video starts a few seconds into Serena's explosion -- after she threatened the judge by saying, "If I could, I would take this f**king ball and shove it down your f**king throat."
In our video you can hear her tell the line judge, "You better be freaking glad I don't do that ... you don't know me!"
Even though Serena started saying "freaking" instead of "f**king" -- CBS still bleeped it.
She looks freaking ugly. This is how a professional player should conduct and especially when the kids look up to you. Please. what is that saying.... you cant take ghettoness away? Well, thats what she is.
2009 And every lil thing that happens has to be linked to Race.... wow everything from sports to politics. When one person does something that does not represent the hole race "Jackasses"
Time to move on folks. I don't condone her behavior but how long must we rehash this story?
better yet, since she already has the ball in hand, why dont she just shove that ball up her big ASS!!!
..angry black people?..maybe she should kidnap someone for 14 yrs..or put someone behind a wall..and then u say obama is the reason?..your logic just makes u look stupidly! I dont condone violence from anybody or race and I'm not dumb enough to think its a reflection of a whole race but YOU seem to only know what PUT in front of your face. You people love to try to say whats ghetto..whats class and whos a role model.
Athletic's are getting way too much money and fame for playing something that they are good at. And yet, many show no class. This type of behavior should never be acceptable by anyone regardless of race, or sex.
shes an athlete she got pissed. that is what happens in sports. HEY THIS IS REAL LIFE PEOPLE ARE ALLOWED TO GET MAD!!!
all this PR struggling come on!
While the words she used were not becoming, I understand her frustration. The line call was a bad one.. and like the decent young woman she is, she apologized right away..
Illiteracy is curable. Get your ignorant ass in school and learn to read and write.
Oh, and Serena sucks. I wrote a letter to the USTA voicing my hopes that her prize money from this event be returned. Sure, tennis players yell and swear in anger and frustration, but when they physically threaten a judge that is over the line of professionalism. She f'ked up. She is being punished. End of story.

Louisiana homeowner Mike Haddock said his family's emergency escape plan kept them safe during the Tuesday, Aug. 20 blaze that severely damaged their house.
"We all got out fine, plus the dogs," Haddock said. "We went through our plan.
"Everybody should have one. We're lucky we got out. The house can be rebuilt."
The family plan let Haddock, his wife Kim Haddock, and three their sons escape quickly and then gather at a central meeting place.
The blaze broke out about 3 a.m. at the family's 4,200-square-foot home at 1601 Georgia Street.
"My wife was downstairs sleeping. She saw the fire and woke us up," Haddock said. "It was probably something electrical."
Haddock has lived in the home since the early 1970s when he was a toddler. It was built in the 1800s and remodeled in 1928, he said.
Haddock said the family will stay in a motel "until we can find a more permanent place."
The homeowner said he would contact contractors and then start the rebuilding process on the Georgia Street lot.
Louisiana Fire Department personnel arrived to find the house smoking profusely from an attached sun room and the second floor.
"It got into the walls and then upstairs and into the attic, Haddock said.
Firefighters on ladders broke out windows to the second floor in order to turn hoses on the blaze.
Firefighters also responded from the Buffalo Township Fire Protection District and the Illinois fire departments of Pleasant Hill and Spring Creek.
Morning drivers had to maneuver their way around the scene on side streets as firefighters cordoned off several blocks of Georgia Street and adjacent roads.
The blaze was under control by 6:35 a.m.

The Museum of Paleontology at the University of California confirms what we high desert dwellers already feel in our bones, especially in winter and early spring: the Great Basin desert is different than most deserts in that the Great Basin desert exists at a much higher altitude than the "hot and dry" deserts of the southwestern United States and Mexico. The Great Basin is thus considered to be a semiarid, nearctic "cold desert" with limited snow and rainfall caused by the wall of mountains we call the Sierra Nevada. Each winter the Sierra gathers most of the moisture coming from the Pacific causing the famous "rain shadow" that keeps the eastern lee side of the mountains so much drier.
It seems this rain shadow makes all the difference. The plants, the animals and insects have evolved to match the lower levels of moisture held back by the high mountains. Even the people have adapted. You can see it in how gardeners here react to a spring rain. On the coastline of northern California, gardeners long for and rejoice at the arrival of sunny days in the spring, hoping that the sun will warm and dry the soggy ground enough to sprout the seeds and energize the stock. Gardeners here long for and rejoice at the arrival of clouds with drenching rain to soak the soil enough to sprout the seeds and give drip lines, watering cans and garden hoses a day off.
This week we have a forecast of chance of rain and this morning rain is actually making it to the ground. What a perfect time to turn the soil, scatter the wildflower seed mixes and initiate springtime planting. It's so rare that we find this chance to actually get our heads wet! Even if the rain is only symbolic, it still makes us feel good, psychologically replenished. Of course, we can't forget that we're in the desert, that our lives are intertwined with this ancient xeriscape. We know it's the subsequent dryness that we can actually rely upon. And as this photo of hardy alyssum shows, the rain we received overnight didn't really soak the ground.

Oconee County deputies arrested two more people over the Thanksgiving holiday in connection with Operation Smurf. Authorities now say all 31 suspects wanted on conspiracy to manufacture meth charges for the purchase or attempted purchase of pseudoephedrine for the purpose of making meth have either been arrested or were already in custody and served with new warrants. See the list of suspects below.
The sheriff's office is calling the bust "Operation Smurf." Smurfing is a term for when people get together and visit several stores to buy Pseudophedrine, which is used in the process of making meth. These people are usually paid in money or drugs.
"The operation today is focusing on those individuals who have over the course of this year purchased Pseudoephedrine for the purposes of making methamphetamine," according to Lt. Jeremy Chapman, Narcotics and Vice Supervisor of the Oconee County Sheriff's Office. "The purpose also is to focus on those individuals as well who are purchasing Pseudoephedrine for the purpose of giving the drug to those who are manufacturing (the cooks) meth."
Salem, Seneca, Walhalla, Westminster, and West Union police departments all assisted in the operation.List of Suspects Arrested In Operation Smurf

Despite the fact that most of the conflict has subsided and many people are returning to their villages and otherwise peaceful lives, the ongoing violence destroyed many of the opportunities for earning a livelihood, especially for women. One Mango Tree was founded by and remains under the direction of a young American woman named Halle Butvin, who fell in love with Uganda's culture while on a student trip organized by the Global Youth Partnership for Africa. She recognized the talents of the many tailors of Gulu's central market, and thus One Mango Tree was formed as a partner to sell their products in a global marketplace.
Many of the women employed not only care for their own families, but also for children orphaned during the war. In addition to providing a vocation to these women, One Mango Tree provides school fees stipends to help alleviate the cost burden of sending so many orphaned children to school, as well as bicycles to ease the commute to work in the market.
One Mango Tree works with Ugandan and American designers to create their products, mixing the bright African wax printed fabrics purchased in local markets with functional design. Using foot-treadle sewing machines, the women make both traditional and modern style clothing.
Auma Lucy
Auma Lucy is One Mango Tree's head tailor and trainer, providing support and a vocation for the women she employs. Lucy is a single mother herself, caring for eleven orphans in addition to her own two children. Known throughout the community for her kindness and tailoring talents, Lucy became a magnet for young people, in the hopes that she could impart some of her knowledge and skills so they too could make a living. Having struggled herself as a young single mother, Lucy would accept as many women as would fit in her market stall. With the help of One Mango Tree, Lucy's tailors are now paid fair wages, helping them to improve their lives.

How to Love a Capricorn Man
Edited by Laura358, PokeEvan, Teresa, Fianchetto and 5 others
Do you like a Capricorn man and don't know how to love him the right way? find out bellow.
1The first thing you have to learn in order to love a Capricorn man is to be patient. The Capricorn man will not give his trust to just anyone, he will trust gradually as you show him that you are worthy of his time.Ad
2Don't try digging into Capricorn's personal life (and his past for that matter) if you haven't won his trust.
3If you need to tell him something and are not sure how to do so, go straight to the point and don't just go in circles, tell him how you feel and why.
4Support his dreams and goals, he will really appreciate it.
5Have interesting conversations.
6Do not be insecure.Ad
- in bed, let him dominate you the first few times, then show him what you can do.
- Always be honest, he will love you more for honesty than anything else.
- They like to be in charge, but will listen to reason. They are planners, so if they stopped to have a relationship with you, then they have made sure decisions about you. They don't like surprises, so go gentle in that area. They are shy, but they become bolder as you get to know them and vice versus. They are very practical and don't speak about love often. Just look in their eyes and watch what they do for you...that's them being romantic. They are eternally youthful at heart, once they give you their heart.
- Do not cheat on him, you will not have a second chance

No. 3 TCU 40, SDSU 35
A win is a win -- except when it isn't. TCU remains undefeated after outlasting San Diego State, 40-35, but the Horned Frogs could suffer in the polls for failing to pile up style points. TCU had soared up the charts on the strength of its defense, and though the Horned Frogs held the Aztecs to just seven first downs, they allowed three touchdowns in the final 16 minutes. TCU is off in Week 12 before closing out its regular season against New Mexico in Week 13.

Hello anyone?
Hi guys! I'm back from a shoulder surgery and both knees physical therapy, and during that time I got a little fat (went from 200lbs 15%bf to 208-210lbs godknowswhat% bf). It was advised to me to pack some more muscle to my internal quads and shoulder region but since I'm a bit more fat I'd like to know if how could I pack some more muscle and sheed some fat away? Or should I go straight to a bulk diet or to a cutting diet? I'd like to hear your opinion on this since this is the first time this happens to me (comming back from a surgery not from getting fat lol)
Hello anyone?
I would cut down first since it sounds like you'd like to lose some fat..bulking will add mass but it will also add more fat on top of what you already want to get rid of.
You could try a recomp but those are a much slower gradual process.
Yeah, recomp was my first thought but since it's mainly a very gradual process and with the holidays season comming closer recomp could easely become a bulk since the carb intake can easely increase... hence my question... Cutting, it sure sounds the most reasonable option for now but then again I'll have some difficulties during the holidays season, with all the familly together and so it makes things harder to keep on the lean side lol
bulk through the holidays dude, its winter. not like youre gonna be wearing t shirts anyways. 15% isnt that fat anywaysOriginally Posted by Broly
or just turn into the ultimate super sayain and call it a dayOriginally Posted by ThunderHumper
Hum, that's what I used to do but currently I'm not 15%bf. I'm a bit higher (no abs on sight even flexing) thus my doubt If I were 15% or less I would bulk up to february just to pass the 220lbs limit eheheheh
I was thinking about carb cycling, high on workout days low on non-workout days to make a lean bulk, what do you think?

Political successions and the growth of government
During the first seven years (1979–1985) of Kenya's second head of state, the process of establishing a stable supporting coalition was accompanied by rapid increases in government spending. As evidenced by continued increase in the size of the cabinet as announced in early 1988, the process of forming a stable coalition may not be complete. The evidence provided in this paper shows that the process of coalition formation following leadership transition in limited autocracies leads to increases in the size of government. This provides strong support for Tullock's suggestion regarding the importance of stability in autocratic and limited autocratic governments. Although we would expect our results to hold for other countries, generalization of the growth-of-government hypothesis should be done with caution for several reasons. First, we do not think that this phenomenon would take place in political successions resulting from a military coup. In that type of succession, the new leader is likely to eliminate the supporters of the disposed leader and replace them with members of his coalition. Secondly, many political successions are accompanied by changes in ideology which may involve movement to more free markets and therefore smaller governments, or movement towards more planned economies which would lead to larger governments. Such changes in the size of government resulting from the ideological preferences of leaders may be difficult to isolate from those that are due to strategic coalition formation. Finally, the interest-group behavior of tribal coalitions in Kenya may have important effects on the size of the government that may not exist in other countries.

Loading... Gender Trouble: Feminism and the Subversion of Identity (Routledge… (original 1990; edition 2006)by Judith Butler
Work detailsGender Trouble: Feminism and the Subversion of Identity by Judith Butler (1990)
None. Loading...
Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. Ha! I feel like I've been reluctantly dragging my feet towards this book for years. I approached it with a heavy heart and a sense of duty. Having gotten the impression that it had destroyed everything I loved (or tried), I thought I had an obligation to hold my nose and research the enemy. I thought it would be pedantic, humorless and polemical. I never thought it would be so much fun! The night I started it I was up until three in the morning reading it, then started again as soon as I woke up and was late to work. Turns out she has a sense of humor AND a sense of style. I felt like I had been living in the joke for years and now here was the punchline. But, sadly, for all the fun, I still didn't leave the book fully convinced. For one thing, it is so funny to start here, without having read, oh, basically any Derrida, Lacan or Foucault, for starters, and only the littlest bit of Freud. Now that I've gotten a glimpse of all the fun they've been having I'm inclined to check them out as well, and when I do, it will already be through Gender Trouble. So, bam, point for Judith Butler! Way to turn the discourse in your favor. Oh, but that was also part of what raised my suspicion, because I got the impression that she was playing pretty fast and loose, and while running a whirl of words displacing received ideas of meaning and authority, she was also consolidating her own authoritative power! Apparently in spite of herself, but how could that be read other than a little disingenuously? At one of my favorite points, referring to an argument that she made she starts "I have argued" and then tries to excuse this seeming exertion of the subjective self with the following parenthetical: "('I' deploy the grammar that governs the genre of the philosophical conclusion, but note that it is the grammar itself that deploys and enables this 'I,' even as the 'I' that insists itself here repeats, redeploys, and-as the critics will determine-contests the philosophical grammar by which it is both enabled and restricted.)..." Come on, really? Really?? To me this gives a wonderful sort of characterization, like something someone would say in a novel. I love the absurdity and how, it is in trying to disavow her own self-hood that she gives such a human sense of it in the anxiety and frustration of the tone! So here is the other thing: I am so all for her project to the extent that her project is to expand "the performative possibilities for proliferating gender configurations outside the restricting frames of masculinist domination and compulsory heterosexuality." Subversive bodliy acts sure are fun, aren't they? But in order to do that is it really necessary to dismiss any notion of interiority or a pre-discursive or non-discursive self? I hope not, because I'm fond of it. Here is a quote from a poem I just read by Suzanne Gardinier: "If not this what are you touching then/Inside me all night If not my soul." Particularly when she goes to Nietzsche, I'm troubled: "The challenge for rethinking gender categories outside of the metaphysics of substance will have to consider the relevance of Nietzsche's claim in On the Genealogy of Morals that 'there is no "being" behind doing, effecting, becoming; "the doer" is merely a fiction added to the deed-the deed is everything.' In an application that Nietzsche himself would not have anticipated or condoned, we might state as a corollary: There is no gender identity behind the expressions of gender; that identity is performatively constituted by the very 'expressions' that are said to be its results." If one is really to take as an assumption that there is no being, the corollary here seems entirely superfluous. Of course that being has no gender if it doesn't exist! It is like the house has already been knocked down and we are swinging at the empty air. Rather than getting more radical, this seems to be working backwards. There is something suspect about the way in which she is seeming to reject the notion of authenticity, but at the same time seems to be operating under the assumption that a more liberated (and therefore more authentic!) form of gender understanding would be possible. She surely succumbs to her own romanticisms, and I'm glad she does, but I just wish she would be more out with it. I found something sweet in this: "Genders can be neither true nor false, neither real nor apparent, neither original nor derived. As credible bearers of those attributes, however, gender can also be rendered thoroughly and radically incredible." I'm glad this book exists. Reading it I really was struck by how much it's shaped the discourse I've been raised in, and to my advantage. I was glad that it played more than I expected, but I wish it had played more than it did because what else is the point of living in a phantasm? Don't get me wrong, this book is fantastic! But I gave it 2 stars because I found it dry at times and often put it down to read something more lively. Despite that, this book is a classic, a must-read for anyone studying gender and sexuality. A great read that unpacks and rearranges the predominant discourses of feminism as a means to advance new questions and critiques about the politics of becoming-gendered and becoming-sexed. Butler works through feminist, psychoanalytic, and poststructuralist discourses, ending at a new rhetorical plateau whereby she argues that gender is, at its most functional level, a performance. Hét boek dat denken over gender de 21e eeuw inleidde: Butler stelt alles in vraag, en terecht. Maar ze is zeer theoretisch en moeilijk leesbaar - Thé book that guided thinking about gender into the 21th century: Butler quesions everything, and with just cause. But her book is very theoretical and very hard to read. If [Gender Trouble] is the wave of feminism for today, woe is me. I have rarely read a book so unintelligible. I resolutely put it aside as the worse case of deconstructionalism or post modernism I have encountered. If, however, the reader is enamored of decoding signifiers and translating jargon, and I respect those who devote their reading time to this project, this would be a prime text. no reviews | add a review

Nevertheless, she has resisted the urge to revise what has become a feminist classic (as well as an elegant defense of drag, given Butler's emphasis on the performative nature of gender). The book was produced, according to Butler, "as part of the cultural life of a collective struggle that has had, and will continue to have, some success in increasing the possibilities for a livable life for those who live, or try to live, on the sexual margins." An attack on the essentialism of French feminist theory and its basis in structuralist anthropology, Gender Trouble expands to address the cultural prejudices at play in genetic studies of sex determination, as well as the uses of gender parody, and also provides a critical genealogy of the naturalization of sex. A primer in gender studies--and sexy reading for college cafés. --Regina Marler(retrieved from Amazon Mon, 30 Sep 2013 13:22:20 -0400) Arguing that traditional feminism is wrong to look to a natural notion of the female, or indeed of sex or gender, this book questions the category 'woman' and examines 'the masculine' and 'the feminine'. It considers gender as a reiterated social 'performance' rather than the expression of a prior reality.… (more) (summary from another edition) |

Oocyst discharge, rumen metabolism and performance of early weaned lambs with naturally occurring coccidiosis fed monensin. | |
MedLine Citation:
PMID: 7197187 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE |
Ninety-six 9.5 kg early-weaned lambs with naturally occurring coccidiosis were fed monensin either at 0, 11, 22, or 33 mg/kg of feed for 105 days. Fecal oocyst discharge during the first three days was highest with monensin 22 mg, lowest with monensin 33 mg and averaged 149.6 x 10(3) oocysts per gram feces for all lambs. Monensin at 22 mg/kg of feed reduced Eimeria ninakohlyakimovae and E. ahsata oocyst discharge. Organic matter and crude protein digestibilities were highest (P </= 0.05) in lambs fed monensin 22 mg/kg of feed. Monensin increased (P </= 0.01) rumen ammonia and propionic acid and decreased (P </= 0.01) acetic acid. Feeding monensin 33 mg decreased (P </= 0.05) feed intake by 5% and had no effect on gain or feed efficiency. Optimal responses were observed with monensin at 11 mg, feed consumption was not affected, gains were 8% higher (P </= 0.05) and feed was utilized 9% more efficiently (P </= 0.05) than the controls. In conclusion, monensin was an effective therapeutic agent against naturally occurring coccidial infections in early weaned lambs. Performance responses were largest with monensin fed at the rate of 11 mg/kg of feed. |

Once we ID the style I could post it on a file sharing site for you to download. Your style descriptions isn't ringing a bell though. If another contributor can not ID the style then it is possible that Uninstalling and Reinstalling SU might be another solution. Im thinking that would replace the original styles that come with the application.

TUESDAY, March 19 (HealthDay News) -- Genetic testing may help identify women at risk for certain types of breast cancer, according to a new study.
Researchers found that over-expression or under-expression of certain genes may help doctors pinpoint women with estrogen receptor-positive or estrogen receptor-negative breast cancer. Doctor could then take appropriate steps to reduce breast cancer risk in certain patients.
The study appears March 19 in the journal Cancer Prevention Research.
"Currently, three drugs can be used to prevent breast cancer in women who are at extremely high risk for the disease," study co-author Dr. Seema Khan, said in a journal release. "However, these drugs prevent only breast cancers that are sensitive to hormones, commonly referred to as estrogen receptor-positive breast cancers. They do not prevent breast cancers that are insensitive to hormones, or estrogen receptor-negative breast cancers."
"We should not expose women at risk for hormone-insensitive breast cancer to the side effects of preventive medications that we know will not work for them," added Khan, who is co-leader of the Breast Cancer Program at Northwestern University, in Chicago. "Moreover, if we knew who these women were, we could focus on them in terms of designing new studies to find a solution for preventing hormone-insensitive cancer."
In their study, the researchers collected samples from unaffected breasts of 27 women with estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer, 27 women with estrogen receptor-negative cancer and 12 women without the disease.
The samples from the women with estrogen receptor-negative cancer had significantly higher expression of 13 genes, eight of which are associated with fat metabolism.
"This was interesting because obesity is a breast cancer risk factor for postmenopausal women, but obese women are generally thought to be at increased risk for hormone-sensitive cancer," Khan said. "We were surprised to see that some of these genes that are associated with lipid metabolism, or the metabolism of fats, are actually more highly expressed in the unaffected breasts of women with estrogen receptor-negative breast cancer."
The researchers also found that two genes associated with fat metabolism were under-expressed in samples from women with estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer.
"It will be a few more steps before this information is practically useful, but we are hoping that it can take us to a place where we can obtain a breast sample from healthy women, see that they are at risk for a certain type of breast cancer and tailor the prevention strategy accordingly," Khan said.

Manufacturer's technical support

Posted January 26, 2012 at 10:33PM
Having been through the process of choosing a new laptop, I have found one aspect of the necessary research particularly difficult. Finding expert reviews of products is straightforeward, eg this site. User reviews of products, whilst not AS objective, are useful, as long as one reads a reasonable sample. Where it is less easy, from the objectivity point of view, is the quality of support, from the manufacturer. It is very difficult to find "expert" views (even Which? are pretty useless at this) on manufacturer's support. Users tend to write manufacturer reviews, only when they've had a bad experience, so they cannot be relied on as representative, or objective. Some sort of review, on this site, of manufacturer's support, would be useful, or even a "straw poll" of members' experiences, bad and GOOD.

"Some sort of review, on this site, of manufacturer's support, would be useful, or even a "straw poll" of members' experiences, bad and GOOD."
The whole point of our Consumerwatch forum is that people - consumers - can tell us all about their good and bad experiences with suppliers. We can't 'review' manufacturers' customer support services because we're not in a position to do so. We don't buy goods, so we can't put customer support to the test.
The best way to form an opinion is to read the accounts posted here by people who have had real-life experiences, but remember - our experience has shown that people are far more likely to tell everyone when they have a bad experience than when they've been treated well.

But the meeting hosted by Chancellor Angela Merkel and attended by leading energy executives reached no decisions on how to fill the shortfall.
"It was agreed that by 2020 there will be a capacity gap of 10 Gigawatts," one source said after the meeting. This is the rough equivalent of 10 and 15 power plants.
Merkel met with chief executives of the power utilities E.ON and RWE AG, as well as officials from Siemens AG, power network operators, trade unions, and energy lobbyists.
Germany's decision last year, following the Fukushima disaster in Japan, to completely phase out nuclear power within a decade has thrown big utilities onto the defensive and sparked a debate about how best to fill the cap in electricity generation.
Another meeting with German state premiers is due to take place on May 23, which may focus on grid expansion and increasing the use of offshore windpower.
Oppositions parties have criticised Merkel for failing to deliver a coherent post-nuclear energy strategy, and the meetings reflect her government's desire to show progress is being made ahead of a federal election next year.
Industry leaders have said there need to be more incentives to invest in flexible gas-fired power plants to fill supply gaps when weather is unfavorable for wind or solar energy, or when industry and consumers require power at peak-use times.
Since Germany switched off a large slice of its nuclear power supply last year, there have been a number of incidents when wind from the north could not be transported quickly enough to consumers in the south due to a lack of grid infrastructure.
Hildegard Mueller, the head of Germany's main energy lobby BDEW, said there had been consensus at the meeting that existing power stations needed to stay in place while at the same time new plants needed to be built. But no decisions were reached.
"On the one hand, this has to be about being able to run existing power plants profitably in the future," Mueller said. "On the other hand it is important to develop carefully further measures for the necessary new constructions," she added.
Some big utilities have signaled they are angry that billions of euros are being poured into subsidising renewables to create a decentralised power generation structure instead of funding infrastructure.

PH share prices drop
Philippine Daily Inquirer
Most local stocks dropped for a second session Tuesday as investors continued to lock in gains from the recent rally.
The main-share Philippine Stock Exchange index shed 27.53 points, or 0.4 percent, to close at 6,786.42, tracking a similar correction seen by most markets in the region.
Most counters were in the red, but the steepest decline was incurred by
mining/oil (-1.7 percent).
Value turnover was heavy at P18.24 billion. There were twice as many decliners for every single gainer.
Bloomberry (-4.1 percent) succumbed to profit-taking after a steep rise ahead of its March 11 entry into the PSEi. JG Summit (-3.88 percent), Belle (-3.28 percent), Belle (-3.28 percent), Megaworld (-2.56 percent) and First Gen (-2.48 percent) also contributed to the decline.
PLDT, Ayala, ALI, MPI, BDO, SM Prime and URC also fell on Tuesday.
On the other hand, the day's decline was tempered by gains eked out by SMIC, AGI, Metrobank, Petron and AP.—Doris C. Dumlao

Hey guys just to let you know it's magically started to work. Dunno what the problem was but whatever it was it's fixed.
This is a discussion on New iPad 2 and problems with BBC iplayer within the iPad Help forums, part of the Apple iPad Discussions category; Hey guys just to let you know it's magically started to work. Dunno what the problem was but whatever it was it's fixed....
Hey guys just to let you know it's magically started to work. Dunno what the problem was but whatever it was it's fixed.
I'm inclined to think it's the App. My son and I both have iPad 2's and whereas his works fine when on my home network, mine won't play "catch up" programmes although it does play live TV. Mine exhibits the same behaviour if I'm connected to another network, such as my mobile phone's wifi hotspot.
Hi there all. I have recently downloaded BBC iplayer to my iPad 2 but when I try to load the app, it says it's unsupported in the country I'm in... But I'm in the UK and my iPad is from Australia but that's also a supported country. Can anyone help? Cheers
Hi there, I'm new here & this problem promptedme to search & I found you!! I have the same problem as above except that I am in France - we're on satellite internet so iplayer on the pc's seems to think we're in the uk & is quite happy, but on my ipad2 it say's it's unsupported in my country - france is however (now) supported
All help would be much appreciated - It was one of the things I was looking forward to using on my new toy
I stand to be corrected but when you say France is now supported....do you mean supported by BBCiPlayer? I thought you could only watch BBCiPlayer if your IP address was in the UK. To watch from outside the UK, you would need a VPN or a proxy.
IPad1, iPad2, Ipod Nano, Iphone4S, Ipad Mini and iPad4
I'm under the same impression, you need a British licence to watch anything other than the BBC NEWS.
64GB wifi ipad2 iOS 7.0.6 (Jailbroken using Evasi0n) : 120GB iPod Classic (Now in Apple heaven as I left it in my trouser pocket in the washing machine BOO HOO!!) : AppleTV 2G iOS 5.0.2 (Jailbroken using seas0npass): iPhone 4S 64GB iOS 7.0.6 (Stock, so I can stream Sky Go) : iMac 27 (Living The Apple Dream!!)
There's an international version of BBC iPlayer that's supported in several countries, including Canada, where I live. This version of the app is a paid subscription service, with limited free viewing.Originally Posted by michali
scifan57, iPad Forums Moderator
Please read the Forum rules.http://www.ipadforums.net/forum-rule...ease-read.html
It would appear that it is indeed the paying service, it wants me to subscribe but I can't, it says that it is available in France, but not where I live. I'm thinking i does think I'm in the uk & that the paying service isn't available there - onky the free one!!!
Hey, I appear to be able to view the progs oing via the BBC site, so the end result is achieved
Well, it would appear that is the problem, if I try & dowlad iplayer from the BBC site I can't s the french app store doesn't have it (which clearly means I'm getting another another version) now just need to find a way to change stores (there's an app I want from the US store too!) - off to search the forum!!!
Thanks guys

World Kidney Day (WKD) is a joint initiative of the International Society of Nephrology (ISN) and the International Federation of Kidney Foundations (IFKF).
Seven years on from the first campaign, World Kidney Day (WKD) has turned into a global phenomenon. On March 13, 2014, medical professionals, government officials, the general public, celebrities and patients will take action locally. Past World Kidney Days have seen more than 600 events in well over 90 countries participating in the World Kidney Day celebrations!
In the most colorful way, they raised awareness about our amazing kidneys. The WKD website became the starting point for celebrations worldwide.
The mission of World Kidney Day is to raise awareness of the importance of our kidneys to our overall health and to reduce the frequency and impact of kidney disease and its associated health problems worldwide.
Health authorities worldwide will have to deal with high and escalating costs if no action is taken to treat the growing number of people with CKD. On World Kidney Day all governments are encouraged to take action and invest in further kidney screening.
