AT&T is expected to offer multiple products featuring the Beats by Dr. Dre branding beginning March 11.
Apple is after more than just headphones in its rumoured multibillion-dollar acquisition of Beats, according to a report suggesting Dr Dre and Jimmy Iovine might join the tech giant.
Dr Dre launches Spotify-rivalling streaming service Beats Music today in the US, promising better recommendations than other music services.
The Monster Beatbox may not deliver the most refined sonics, but if you're looking for big, aggressive sound from a small box, this is the one you want.
Pricing not available
The Beats by Dr. Dre Executive noise-canceling headphones have an appealing design, strong features, and good sound, but they don't quite measure up to the Bose QuietComfort 15 noise-canceling headphones.
The line of high-end headphones, which Monster helped develop, was "fraudulently acquired" through a "sham" transaction, according to the lawsuit.
It's throwdown showdown between the TDK Three Speaker Boombox and the Monster Beats By Dr. Dre Beatbox iPod Dock, or what we call, the Monster Beatbox.
Celebrate Hello Kitty's 40th anniversary with special edition Hello Kitty custom headphones and earphones from Beats by Dr. Dre.
Tesco is offering £40 off its higher-priced headphones this Christmas, including up to 30 per cent off Beats headphones.

I really love it
bought a white/black circle one, everything is perfect, except it was too big on me, so I returned it.
PS the knee pad is not .... practical cos the pad is too thin, barely there, unless you add something heavy in there, but very discreet design.

Steve Martin Becomes a First-Time Dad at 67
Another Hollywood couple is hearing the pitter-patter of little feet. Following in the footsteps of Larry King and David Letterman, Steve Martin has become a daddy later in life.
The 67-year-old writer/comedian/musician (seriously, what can't he do) and his wife Anne Stringfield, 41, were spotted in LA with a new baby whom they somehow managed to keep a secret for months. Or that they took from a momentarily neglected grocery cart at Ralph's. Take your pick.

Five people, including three children, died Saturday when their light plane crashed at Charleroi airport in southern Belgium, forcing its closure for several hours, police said.
The two adults and the children on the Cessna aircraft were from the same family, the police said.
No information was immediately available about who was piloting the aircraft, with police declining to provide any details as an investigation got under way into the cause of the accident.
The Belga news agency said the small, single-engined plane experienced problems on takeoff and returned to the airport but crashed next to the runway as it tried to land.
It said there were no early indications of what caused the crash at around 10:00 am (0900 GMT).
Charleroi, used mainly by low-cost carriers, was closed after the accident, forcing some flight cancellations, diversions and delays, but it reopened in late afternoon, the police said.
Reports said Charleroi airport would normally have operated nearly 50 flights on Saturday, carrying some 17,000 passengers, and television news showed a crowded departure hall.

This robin clearly heard the camera click and went into a 'meerkat' pose - checking closer in V2
now V2 is reduced in LR, V1 in PS.. still haven't worked out what produces less noise !

I rather like that self assured legs akimbo stance in V 2, Annette.
I'm not certain to what your title refers but could it be to having to use an ISO of 800 and the consequences thereof, or perhaps something totally different. Hope that observation does not cause offence.

I've seen birds taking up this stance when there's been gunshots around (people out hunting here in the countryside) so clearly a sense of alarm. I think there's a bit more noise in V2 on this screen. V1 gets my vote anyway though I know what a challenge this type of image is to capture and am impressed by both efforts!

Two wonderful captures Annette.
At 800 ISO there is going to be some noise.
Ive uploaded mods using Lightroom 3 to remove noise.
Nominating Constructive Critique
[quote]A wonderful stretch in V.1, Annette, well captured. Do you have a noiseware program, NeatImage is worth a try. Carol[/quote
Somewhat better than last time Annette. Your camera settings seem to be reasonably OK. You could try reducing the ISO although I would have thought that the D2 could manage 800 without too much problem. What programme do you use to manipulate the shots ?
I agree with trying Neat Image.
Nominating Constructive Critique
Great shot Annette, like the pose of the V1.
I am a Neat image user for higher ISO and found it to be very good, looking at the stats I wonder whether at ISO800 and Tx 1/640 whether there was actually some scope to reduce the ISO, possibly 400, this will reduce the noise quite a bit. You can also try pushing the histogram to the right by adding some positive exposure compensation, say plus 0.5, lighter images will generally produce less noise.
By the way, many thanks for the user award on the Common Darter image, it was very much appreciated indeed.

Depending on what version of Photoshop you have, and LR, they may be exactly the same in terms of thier noise reduction ability. LR3 is quite good.
In you images, ALL noise has been removed from the sky, showing that both approaches had an effect, however it doesnt look like you were aggressive enough. You need to practice more, especially on te Luminance channel in LR.
The mods are quite good, though perhaps just a little too much detail is lost, BUT this can be the downside of high ISO.
Another approach, and you can download a trial version for free is to try Neat Image of Noise Ninja, third party programmes that specialize in noise reduction, - might give you a better result.
Your setting are good, - though maybe you could have been able to NOT use negative exposure comp, and noise will be most apparent in an image that underexposed. It would be more "norma;" shooting against the sky to use positive exposure compensation to ensure the bird was exposed properly.
I will upload a mod with exposure increased by one full stop, and use Noise Ninja to reduce noise as an example. remember, the idea here is that an brighter exposure is likely to show less noise.

Free Iron Man poly at shop.LEGO.com (UK)
Posted by Huw,A new offer at shop.LEGO.com has started today: receive a free 30167 Iron Man vs Fighting Drone polybag when you spend over £25, until the end of May. Click on the banner to take advantage of this offer.
26 comments on this article
Was then thinking is it only the Marvel superheroes. Checked the LEGO site..... It's DC as well, phew!
I think it's _any_ purchase, actually.
I am reading it right that you would get the poly for in store purchases also?
When are they planning to offer the Jor El poly bag? June?
^^ "Available only through shop.LEGO.com and LEGO Stores".
Does this stack with Grand opening promos?
Yes, Jor el in June
Does anyone know if you can simply buy the poly from UK brand stores and, if so, how much it is?
^I'm assuming the UK is the same, but in Aus it says not for individual sale
Afraid not. The monthly polys are promotional only, and are given away with suitable types or quantities of purchase. If you're near to a Store, though, you might try asking the staff at the end of the promotion if they have any left over - they are sometimes happy to give one out then.
@Huw, clicking on the banner seems to take me through to a UK version - it's a £25 spend in the UK.
^ Indeed it is. The banner is the US version because LEGO don't always provide a UK one.
@Andhe unfortunately the small print says 'Cannot be applied to previous purchases or combined with any other discount, offer or free gift.' :( I might still chance my arm at the Leeds store opening this weekend though...
@Zander unfortunately the small print says 'LEGO® Iron Man vs. Fighting Drone is not available for purchase.'
I've just purchased some TMNT sets from the site and it was automatically added to my basket.
Can't wait to add him into my Miami Mansion Attack set.
It looks to be the same figure from 6867 Loki's Cosmic Cube Escape which is a bit of a shame, still want the Poly though :)
I might be tempted, but our S@H doesn't list the new superheroes sets yet (MoS, IM3), nor the SW or Galaxy Squad summer sets, and neither do I find the Lone Ranger... So, sorry Lego, I think I'll pass, .. again..
Just to let you know, your referrer link is not working.
I'll probably pick this up from eBay, as I'm holding out for Jor-El :)
Is this particular Iron Man version already released in some other set or is it one of a kind?
Why didn't they do a chromed version :(
30€ for France, Germany and I believe all other mainland Europe. Will probably stop by the store tomorrow and check if they also have it. Have the figure already, but still.
isn't this just the same figure from the SHIELD truck from set 6867?
It is, is the same minifig from Loki's Cosmic Cube Escape 6867. It's the Mark IV armour that first appears at the end of Iron Man 2 and the a large chunk of The Avengers (Assemble), the triangle chest piece is the give away.
Last year's exclusive Hulk was way better. I really wish they decided to make the Iron Patriot the gift for this promotion, I would have made multiple purchases if that had happened.
^^ Actually it's the mark VI armor, not IV. But yes, it's the only one with a triangle-shaped reactor cover.
^ I agree, the unique Hulk promo last year was better, though I suppose this appeals to polybag collectors. I'm kind of relieved I don't want this polybag, but at the same time I too wish they had substituted Iron Patriot in for their offer instead of bending to Walmart for an exclusive later this year.
Just a little side note....the image link doesn't actually work (it takes you to a 404 error page - because "brickset.com" is in the URL). :-)
^^ @ShatteredGnome - your quite right of course, to use a current popular phrase in a format never before attempted 'epic' Roman Numeral failure!
I'm with you about Iron Patriot, I'd have been all over this offer for a couple of those!
I'm a minifigure collector with sons and was wondering if anyone has any news about the exclusive Clark Kent fig with the new Lego batman movie? I know it's being released in the states from the 21st may but you can't preorder it over here in the uk. Have a horrible feel the uk might miss out again like with the blue jacketed bilbo with the hobbit release

Meeting the Challenges of Product Traceability with Automated Data Collection
Radley Corporation
An effective traceability system involves determining which product and manufacturing process attributes to collect and maintain—and deciding when during the manufacturing process to begin collecting those attributes. Do you begin with raw material attributes from the supplier, at inspection, at assembly, at shipping?

Who Charted? Linkin Park's 'Living Things' Notches a Victory for Rock
First! For the first time in a while, there was an actual horse race for No. 1 on the Billboard 200 this week. Linkin Park sold 223,000 copies of Living Things per Nielsen SoundScan — just 1,000 copies more than Maroon 5 sold of Overexposed — giving the band a very narrow victory and its fifth No. 1 album since 2000. Billboard tells us that's more than any other band.
2 Through 10: Bolstered by the success of last year's inescapable abomination "Moves Like Jagger," Maroon 5 took second place with their fourth album. Justin Bieber's Believe slipped to No. 3 with a still-impressive 115,000 copies sold, followed by a pair of debuts — Maybach Music Group Presents: Self Made 2 with 98K and R. Kelly's Write Me Back with 68K. Billboard reports this is Kelly's worst opening week since in 1993 solo debut. Kenny Chesney's Welcome to the Fishbowl dropped to 6 (61,000), Adele's 21 sticks around the Top 10 at No. 7 (42,000), One Direction's Up All Night took No. 8 (39,000), and Usher's Looking 4 Myself and Rock of Ages soundtrack close out the Top 10 with 36,000 and 28,000, respectively.
Rock Unsteady: Linkin Park's No. 1 notches only the third real top-charting rock album of the year — and we're already past the halfway point of 2012. Only Bruce Springsteen (in March) and Jack White (in May) have managed to reach the Top 200's top spot (we are not counting John Mayer's sappy Born and Raised in this tally). Still, Billboard maintains rock is having a decent year, earning five of the Top 20 selling albums of the year so far in their midway report. The highest-ranking of these LPs is Gotye's Making Mirrors with 538,000 copies sold.
Collecting on the Call: Carly Rae Jepsen is still No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 with "Call Me Maybe," which by now 251,000 more people have heard (according to the Digital Songs chart sales figure).

ANOTHER HEDI SHOOT: "Twilight" star Robert Pattinson graces the cover of the fall issue of Another Man, the men's spin-off from Another Magazine. Appropriately enough, the title's editor-in-chief, Jefferson Hack, tapped Hedi Slimane — who's known for his moody, shadowy images of youthful subjects — to shoot Pattinson. Along with Pattinson's interview with journalist Dave Calhoun, the issue also profiles Dennis Hopper and his photographic work and David de Rothschild, who's sailing across the Pacific in a boat made from plastic bottles, to highlight an area of pollution in the ocean.
To coincide with the release of Another Man, which hits newsstands Thursday, the magazine will today launch an online store, which will carry three limited edition art works created for the magazine by artists Jake and Dinos Chapman, Tom Friedman, and Vera Lehndorff (also known as the Sixties model Veruschka) and Holger Trulzsch, who have all worked with the title in the past. The Chapman brothers, for example, have created a hand-colored etching of their dark vision of a teddy bears' picnic, which comes in an edition of 120 and will sell for up to 1,925 pounds, or around $3,070. The Web site will also sell "Another Fashion Book," which is made up of fashion editorials from the magazine, and "Another Portrait Book," which will be published in November. Other products include a candle in collaboration with Colette, a fragrance with Le Labo and a bag designed by Peter Pilotto for Mismo, will be sold via the online store, as well as at retailers including Liberty in London, Colette in Paris, Opening Ceremony in New York and Los Angeles and Joyce in Hong Kong in mid-October. — Nina Jones

"I have had such a good experience with 1800contacts. It's so hassle free. I get my yearly exam at target for 99 bucks, then order from 1800contacts from then on. The contacts are the same price as every where else, plus free shipping. I order them and they come in 2 days. Every time! Which is good because I usually order more only when I absolutely need to. (when one is torn)"
"I don't understand 1-800 contacts - why would you put up with this giant, expensive, cold hearted company when you can buy for 50% less from pure Internet sellers like OptiContacts.com or Lens.com or C1 or anyone from the Top10. Don't be a schmuck any more - I know I'm not after this last order. I had an issue trying to return some items for credit with 1800contacts."
"This is just to provide feedback on the everlasting disappointment your company has given. It has taken 4 phone calls in the span of 2 months for fix YOUR errors. when I first called to place my order, and it was shipped using the wrong shipping method. After not receiving he order I was suppose to get in two days I called the 2nd time and thats when i was send a second shipment next day air, again because the original order was processed incorrectly. I called two weeks later deciding to keep the both shipments and agreed to get my card charged. they advised the 2nd order would charge after the returned shipment was not received. NOPE. My cc got charged in Aug for the 2nd shipment AND i got charged AGAIN on 9-29. I called THAT DAY to find out why i had 3 charges from you company. The rep on that call confirmed it was an error and stated he'd void out the transaction AFTER speaking to a manager. TODAY, almost a month later, i see i did in deed get charged and that transaction was never voided. I'm beyond annoyed at your service at this point and extremely disappointed at the lack of accountability you have with your users. This is seriously a ridiculous effort at providing service for an issue that began within your own company walls. REFUND MY MONEY and review the horrible service i have received continuously over the past two months. You spend all this money on advertising for your company yet you lack of professionalism is what made you loose this one when it would have been so easy to keep me by just doing what you suppose to, to begin with. I will be disputing this charge with my cc company and posting on all online forums the horrible service I have gotten. I will also be filing a complaint with the BBB on the lack of respect you have for your customers for just charging things you had no authorization to charge. Seriously, everyone i have spoken with, including the two managers who reviewed my account have a lot of learning to do. You all suck."
"I had a great experience with 1-800 Contacts. I was sure to cover all my bases as I wanted my contacts before the weekend, so I did purchase the next day delivery. I sent them a photo of my prescription, and they were sure to let me know it was a bit blurry. I scanned it in and sent it after, and promptly received notification it was received and well. After purchasing, I realized I put in the wrong ship-to address, in which I opted to Live-Chat, and Haile handled it very nicely and quick.
Also - I compared their prices with Lens.com, and they were a couple dollars less expensive. "
"I ordered 7 boxes from them and it came fine and on time (took about a week). The problem is that i returned my older lenses and they received it about a week later, it was confirmed through UPS. I talked to 4 different reps to be exact and they said that i was going to get my refund back through credit card refund in about 2-5 days (didn't happen), since i bought contacts through them. Called another representative and they said it was going to be in check because of the older lenses refunded were bought long ago. They did send out a check, but it wasn't received yet by me. There is no way that mail from Utah to Illinois through USPS would take that long since two weeks already passed. This is a flaw of 1-800 CONTACTS because of different answers from reps every time i call. I would never buy from them again since they're prices are higher than everywhere else. The refund process is horrible because of the inconsistent information that 1-800 CONTACTS gives out to customers. It has nearly been a month already since i sent out my contacts back to them that is tracked by UPS. One month later on there is no refund that was received by me yet. I am not never going to recommend anybody this online site for contacts."
"Ordered contacts with expedited shipping 16 days ago to get before vacation. Never received. Contacted them and was told they cancelled order b/c prescription expired. They contacted old eye doctor despite me indicating new doctor. No call, no email, nothing. Then said if I wanted that order it would cost more!!!! With shipping waived!!! Huh? No cost benefit due to acuvue manfacturer new pricing policy of no discounts. Now my head is spinning? Why would I bother using them??? No discount, inadequate processing, inability to discount and deliver?? Asked to speak with a supervisor and was told to email. Goodbye 1800 contacts never again. May want to change the web site to indicate you can't discount."
"Will never order from 1800contacts again! Promised to send rebate form and never sent form. Advertise the best price and then ran this kind of scam. Better off going to local store."
"I love 1800contacts! Their customer service is amazing and their prices are too bad. Very simple and easy. They verify the Rx with the doctor all you have to do is click and order! "
"I ordered from them twice and both times it was a nightmare. 1st time I entered my full address correctly and they failed to put my name on the box. 2nd time they ran out of the lenses I ordered so I had to wait over a week before it shipped. I had an issues getting the incorrect lenses then the replacement lenses got "lost in the mail". My original order was over a month ago and I still don't have my lenses. So frustrating!"
"Just ordered w/ them for the first time -- customer service seriously surprised me with how much they're willing to do on their end. So helpful so far. I was actually sort of shocked, but maybe that's just because I'm used to begging/crying/askingtheuniversewhy while on the phone with Comcast customer service. Really impressed. Can't really speak to anything else at this point, but was genuinely surprised by this. Enough to write a review which is sort of weird."
"1-800 CONTACTS customer service is FABULOUS! Anytime I have had an issue they have gone above and beyond to resolve the issue. I have never had an issue with delivery as well. To those that report that their delivery is slow, all I can say is you get what you pay for. Don't be so cheap, pay for the expedited shipping. Be responsible enough to order your contacts in advance. I have used 1-800 contacts for a couple of years now and will continue to do so."
"Great price matching, but extremely slow shipping! I ordered my contacts last monday (they needed an extra day to verify my prescription, which was fine), and then I received a confirmation email on January 14th (Tuesday). I literally live within 20 miles of the headquarters for 1800CONTACTS. The representative I initially spoke with stated that it shouldn't be more than a day or so, after they verified the prescription. Alright, sounds reasonable I thought. So I wait... wednesday, thursday, friday... I finally call back friday, and the conversation went something like this:
"Where are my lenses??" I ask an associate.
"It takes the standard 5-7 business days for shipping. They should arrive at your place January 23rd, 24th at the latest"
"WHAT??? Are you serious? I live minutes from you guys, can I just come pick them up??" "Unfortunetely, no, they have already shipped out."
"That's ridiculous... The guy I spoke with initially said a day or two, since I live in the same valley as you guys"
"I'm sorry about your frustrations. We can refund the shipping cost."
"Please do" I said.
Just to give you an idea of how ridiculous their shipping is - I ordered something from Vegas on amazon on Friday, Jan 17th and received it today, January 20th, on their "Standard shipping" that I didn't have to pay anything for. Thanks 1800Contacts for the slow shipping. Although, they were nice to deal with on the phone, and they gave me a refund."
"Wow! Not sure where to start. My son's contact lenses were in luggage that was lost for a flight to Kenya that got cancelled. He returned home and his next departure was in 2 days. We needed to replace his lenses FAST! On 1/8/13 at 9am I spoke with Stephanie at 1800contacts. She was super sweet. I was placed on hold several times as they had to get some verification from the doctor etc...When she returned she took my credit card information and the order was placed...or so I thought. Her sweet nature on the phone did not translate into following through with my situation. When I called back at 2:30, there didn't really seem to be any record of my previous call with the urgent nature of my order and the expectation that I would receive it the next day, Thursday. (My son was leaving for Kenya Friday morning). So again, I was placed on lengthy holds by Amanda and was finally told that everything was taken care of and that they would be shipped in an hour and 10 minutes (5:00pm) and I would definitely receive them the next day. When I got in early Thursday morning, I wanted to check on the status. When I called, they again had no record of my urgent need to get these and the lenses had NOT been shipped as promised. Something about the verification process. Basically no one cared to see that this order got completely processed. I demanded to speak with a supervisor. Cheryl was who I was given and I totally let her know what was happening and what I thought of their company and their customer service. She once again placed me on hold and when she returned said it was an issue with the verification process. She told me to call back in a little bit. I asked what her direct number was. Well, there is none and I would have had to start over with another supervisor who was just privy to whatever notes Cheryl had input into the system. I told her that was unacceptable and that SHE was to call ME in a half an hour to update me on the status. Which she did and she stayed with me throughout the day and really made the order happen. The shipment was sent via UPS with a promise of a 10:30 am arrival but with a request for a 'before 8am" delivery. All evening I followed the tracker number and all it said was "a label has been created" there was never an indication that it had been shipped. I was rather nervous. However, at 7:30 this morning, my doorbell rang and it was the UPS driver. I was very thankful. However, this did not have to happen this way. The typical 24 hour delivery would have been awesome if they had more of a personal connection to the customers instead of knowing they will never need to speak to the disgruntled customer. Although things worked out and Cheryl was fabulous and trustworthy, I don't think I can order from them again. Their lack of care and concern had me in tears several times. I don't think I can do that again. They are too big."
"I personally think it would be easier and faster to call my optometrist and have them order me new contact lenses than to wait for 1800 Contacts to ship me another pair. It took them way too long to verify my RX."
"BEWARE! don't order from this site even if the price is better. Customer service is awful! After spending hours with 5 different agents (during different days) who screwed things up with address, prescriptions etc, finally they recommended a brand with produced the diameter I needed (apparently the brand that I had chosen first with diameter did not produce it, but was available for selection, meaning it's like ordering a t shirt size small and then telling u the brand does not produce that size, but was available for selection). I emailed again the prescription with the brand they recommended who actually produced the diameter I needed but instead I received the box today and the diameter was wrong. Bottom line, they say that this new brand does not make it in that diameter, yes, the brand they recommended. Too much. All they say is I'm sorry, which obliviously makes things worse. Now i don't want to know anything else from that site. And on top of that I have to waste more time mailing the box myself and wait for my money to be back. It's really sad.
Btw, I bought lenses for my mom a few months ago and they sent fewer boxes.

It's not just about Hadoop core anymore
For maximum business value, big data applications have to involve multiple Hadoop ecosystem components.
Data is deluging today's enterprise organizations from ever-expanding sources and in ever-expanding formats. To gain insight from this valuable resource, organizations have been adopting Apache Hadoop with increasing momentum. Now, the most successful players in big data enterprise are no longer only utilizing Hadoop "core" (i.e., batch processing with MapReduce), but are moving toward analyzing and solving real-world problems using the broader set of tools in an enterprise data hub (often interactively) — including components such as Impala, Apache Spark, Apache Kafka, and Search. With this new focus on workload diversity comes an increased demand for developers who are well-versed in using a variety of components across the Hadoop ecosystem.
Due to the size and variety of the data we're dealing with today, a single use case or tool — no matter how robust — can camouflage the full, game-changing potential of Hadoop in the enterprise. Rather, developing end-to-end applications that incorporate multiple tools from the Hadoop ecosystem, not just the Hadoop core, is the first step toward activating the disparate use cases and analytic capabilities of which an enterprise data hub is capable. Whereas MapReduce code primarily leverages Java skills, developers who want to work on full-scale big data engineering projects need to be able to work with multiple tools, often simultaneously. An authentic big data applications developer can ingest and transform data using Kite SDK, write SQL queries with Impala and Hive, and create an application GUI with Hue. Read more…

Bitcoin is just the first app to use blockchain technology
Understanding the value of the blockchain above and beyond bitcoin.
Editor's note: Lorne Lantz is a program co-chair for our O'Reilly Radar Summit: Bitcoin & the Blockchain on January 27, 2015, in San Francisco. For more on the program and for registration information, visit the Bitcoin & the Blockchain event website.
I remember the first time I heard about bitcoin. It was June 2012, and I was invited to a bitcoin meetup. The whole time I was sitting there, I thought these were a bunch of computer geeks playing around with nerd money.
At the same time, I felt excited about the possibilities. If what the bitcoin believers were saying was true, it could become something very big. When I took a closer look, I realized why it could be so groundbreaking: decentralization.
Unlike other currencies and payment networks, bitcoin is not controlled by a bank, government, or financial institution. Instead, thousands of computers around the world verify transactions and manage a global decentralized ledger. This innovative technology is called the blockchain, and it provides a unique pathway that allows — for the first time — many computers that don't trust each other to achieve consensus. In bitcoin's case, they are achieving consensus on updates to the global ledger. Read more…
Bringing an end to synthetic biology's semantic debate
The O'Reilly Radar Podcast: Tim Gardner on the synthetic biology landscape, lab automation, and the problem of reproducibility.
Editor's note: this podcast is part of our investigation into synthetic biology and bioengineering. For more on these topics, download a free copy of the new edition of BioCoder, our quarterly publication covering the biological revolution. Free downloads for all past editions are also available.
Tim Gardner, founder of Riffyn, has recently been working with the Synthetic Biology Working Group of the European Commission Scientific Committees to define synthetic biology, assess the risk assessment methodologies, and then describe research areas. I caught up with Gardner for this Radar Podcast episode to talk about the synthetic biology landscape and issues in research and experimentation that he's addressing at Riffyn.
Defining synthetic biology
Among the areas of investigation discussed at the EU's Synthetic Biology Working Group was defining synthetic biology. The official definition reads: "SynBio is the application of science, technology and engineering to facilitate and accelerate the design, manufacture and/or modification of genetic materials in living organisms." Gardner talked about the significance of the definition:
"The operative part there is the 'design, manufacture, modification of genetic materials in living organisms.' Biotechnologies that don't involve genetic manipulation would not be considered synthetic biology, and more or less anything else that is manipulating genetic materials in living organisms is included. That's important because it gets rid of this semantic debate of, 'this is synthetic biology, that's synthetic biology, this isn't, that's not,' that often crops up when you have, say, a protein engineer talking to someone else who is working on gene circuits, and someone will claim the protein engineer is not a synthetic biologist because they're not working with parts libraries or modularity or whatnot, and the boundaries between the two are almost indistinguishable from a practical standpoint. We've wrapped it all together and said, 'It basically advances in the capabilities of genetic engineering. That's what synthetic biology is.'"

Hi! It's nice! I love it very much.
I want to use for my promo advs. It's a kind of government promo advs. And I am work at the government. Not a commercial advs. And no monetary compensation.
Can I use it for this government advs?
Noticing you that the Norwegian television show "Hotel Cæsar" are using this to fake a TV show inside a TV show :P
Thanks nice spot. wont be used in a video, but I have it for future use, and then will credit you.
I can't seem to download this file.
@rolover actually that's strange... Maybe they use it under the cc sampling licence that freesound used to have before the updates. Well, I don't really care in this case, the sound is not that special and it's hard for me to investigate that, not having the software... But it's quite unfair from Corel.

I have a row of Chioggia Beets and I've been researching what to do with them. Some I will store in our crawl space, but I can't put them in cold storage yet because we still are having warm days. So I'm thinking of making some chips. I like the recipe below and I'm assuming that the chips will keep in a jar indefinitely like other dehydrated veggies/fruits? Does anyone have experience to the contrary? I'd hate to make a bunch of these and then find out they don't keep.
Here's the recipe: Baked Chioggia Beet Chips For chips * 2 medium beets with stems trimmed to 1 inch
Peel beets with a vegetable peeler, then slice thinly (but not too thinly) with mandolin or sharp knife, using stems as handles. Bring water to a boil in a saucepan. Add beets, then remove pan from heat and let stand 15 minutes. Drain beets in a colander, discarding liquid, then let stand in colander 15 minutes more. Toss beets with oil and salt. Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 225 F. Line a shallow baking pan with nonstick liner, then arrange beet slices snugly in 1 layer. Bake beets until dry, about 45 minutes to 1 hour. Immediately transfer chips to a rack to cool (chips will crisp as they cool). |

Although chips sound interesting it looks like a lot of trouble. I would simply wait for it to get colder and eat some fresh beets right now. |
There are beet chips in the Terra Chips that you can buy. Their's are deep fried. Don't know if this helps or not. Cindy |
Personally, I'd be concerned about the oil. Not from a food safety standpoint, as I don't believe there is enough to cause a botulism concern as with things packed in oil. But, I think it will go rancid within a period of some months and taste bad. Personally, I would just leave out the oil and salt at this time. I guess the purpose of the oil is to brown/crisp the beets a bit, and probably to help the salt to stick. So, without it, the beets might be a bit more leathery, but should last longer. You could probably always crips the beets in the oven with the oil and salt in small batches as you eat them. |
Make them as the recipe says and then pop them in the freezer. Let them defrost and nuke them to warm when you want a treat. They will not be crispy but will be good! If you want long storage chips, I'd suggest you dry them "naked" in the dehydrator, freeze them, take out what you want, defrost, and then put on the oil and salt and heat them in the oven. They may crisp some or not, whatever, the taste of homegrown beets is lost on most people because they have never had them homegrown, sweet, and raw. Most everyone has enjoyed pickled beets and though that way is yummy, eating raw fresh and boiled/or crisped from the garden "beats" the heck out of those "beets". Nancy |

5 No, it's going to be difficult-difficult-lemon-difficult.Posted: 01/09/2009Being a ex Civil Servant for a Central UK Government department, I can honestly say that In The Loop is an accurate representation of the world of Politics. OK, the Director of Communications is not as foul mouthed as Malcolm Tucker, but all the scheming and double backing stabbing, 'off the record chit-chatting' are . The golden rule in Government is this: It's not what you know, it's who you know.But I digress. In The Loop is a superbly written satirical look at the world of politics. The plot is extremely clever and at times it seems a little bit too real that it could be based on real life events. All the actors and actresses are superb. This movie is not for the faint of hearts though. There is a lot of strong swearing, lots of use of the f-word and c-word that I lost count.In The Loop is a spin-off of the award winning TV series 'The Thick of It' and if you liked that and the Yes Minister series, you will love this movie.The DVD contains the usual extras: Director and cast commentary/interviews, deleted scenes etc. It's only in English with English Description.
4 The Invaders return for Season 2Posted: 12/02/2009The classic 1960s sci-fi show returns on DVD. David Vincent continues his fight against the aliens and trying to prove to the world that 'they' are finally here. But, if you are reading this, then you know what the show is about anyway (it is season 2). So, what do you get for your cash? Well, you get 7 DVDs and all 26 episodes of season 2. Unfortunately, there are no extras of any kind which is a crying shame considering that the USA release does. Each espiode is in colour, 4:3 aspect ratio and in mono sound. The sound is only in English and there are only English subtitles. As with season 1 (see my other review) the transfers here are excellent, the same standard before. Again, no digital clean up, but it doesn't need it. Unfortunately, if you check the small print on the packaging, minor edits on some of the episodes have been carried out, which episodes and what it doesn't say, pity. Personally, it's great to finally get all the episodes of this classic sci-fi series on DVD. The product loses one star for no extras and the editing.
4 Good but could be better...Posted: 11/03/2008I'm not going to write a review about Full Metal Jacket because the film needs *no* introduction. Instead, I will write about the DVD, what do you get for your money? OK, first there is only one DVD, yes one. There are three extras on this DVD: Commentary from Adam Baldwin, Vincent D'Onofrio, R. Lee Ermey and Critic Jay Cocks. There is a new featurette and of course, the trailer. That's it. The commentary is very very good and very insightful. The featurette is OK, but the actors talk about Kubrick more than the actual film. But within all the extras there is no interview or commentary from Matthew Modine. I suspect that Mr Modine declined doing this DVD because he has a book about the making of Full Metal Jacket with various photographs. The commentary mentions the book also. If the DVD had Mr Modine's book 'included' in someway, this would had been the perfect DVD. Play.com have some details missing or in error. The language soundtracks include English, German and Spanish, with various subtitles, and the film is actually a '15' rating now. Watching DI Sgt Hartman in German is quite entertaining :o) Highly recommended.
Visionaries: Knights Of The Magical Light - Complete Series (2 Discs) DVD 2 New from £30.92 Free delivery Available used from £19.98
2 A bit of a let down...Posted: 07/02/2008First, the rating is for the DVD box set and not for the cartoon series itself; let's be honest, you are only going to buy the box set if you are a Visionaries fan right?In my opinion, the box set is a bit of a let down, for various reasons. The extras on this box set are a little thin, it would had be nice if there were more. All you get are the scripts of the episodes in PDF format, that's it. The biggest let down for me was the quality of the cartoons themselves. Half of the episodes, especially the later ones were in very poor quality. Now, I don't expect a 'digital remastered' version, but I expect better quality than what is given here. There was lots of noise in the picture and it seems that the colour gamma has been adjusted as well. Of course, I understand that the cartoons are 20 years old, but I have better quality versions in VCD format! The sound quality is very good, but in Mono and only in English. There are no subtitles.So, if you are thinking of buying, don't expect too much here. Sorry that I wasn't more positive about this box set.
5 Finally on DVD...Posted: 31/01/2008Yes, this is the classic 1960's science fiction series "The Invaders", even if the front cover is a bit misleading. Why CBS didn't use the original Invaders logo as the design is anybodies guess. Anyway, yes, this is the complete season 1 of The Invaders on 5 DVD's. 17 episodes of the classic series. Unfortunately, there are no extras of any kind here, but, as the series was made in the 1960's, you wouldn't expect any. Maybe Season 2 with have an current interview with Roy Thinnes? The sound is in mono and the picture is full frame 4:3. Considering the show is 50 years old, the quality of the transfers are excellent. There is by the way, no digital clean up of any kind, so expect to see grain, specks and hairs. There is English subtitles. Personally, for £17 (at the time of writing) it's a steal. A great trip down memory lane and it proves that you don't need 'special effects' to make a good science fiction show. Roll on season 2!
4 It's good, but could be better...Posted: 05/09/2007With the destruction of the Gatecrasher nightclub still fresh in people's memories, this release is to show fans of the legendary nightclub that the spirit of the Gatecrasher is still alive and kicking.Gatecrasher Immortal consists of 3 CDs, with the first 2 CDs spanning the music history of the nightclub. Disc 1, which is mixed by Scott Bond, bangs out the commercial trance hits that we all know and love. Disc 2, mixed by Matt Hardwick, plays the more popular non-commercial underground Gatecrasher trance, where die-hard Gatecrasher fans will know, whereas the occasional listener might not. Disc 3, mixed by Judge Jules, plays the new future hits of trance/house music, in his usual style of break beats and drop-outs.Whilst the first 2 CDs are a great trip down memory lane, they do reflect the style and euphoria of Gatecrasher nightclub, disc 3 was the biggest let down for me. Expecting more uplifting trance music, The Judge has chosen tracks with a slightly darker, harder and moodier tone.In conclusion though, this album is similar in style to their previous release 'Gatecrasher Forever', but don't let this put you off. This release is a faithful tire over until the nightclub gets rebuilt. Let's hope after that, Gatecrasher will stop releasing albums that 'milk' the classic era and start releasing albums of the same quality and calibre as the Anjunabeats Volume series.

The district's school board members are in for a bit of a shock when they take their first look at the district's 2013-14 draft budget during Thursday's meeting.
Superintendent James Neihof told the board on Jan. 10 that the draft budget would be unbalanced.
"I want you to see the expenses and receipts as they are before we show you the cuts that our budget committee has been working on," he said then. They will at 7 p.m. at the district's offices, 1155 Main Street in Shelbyville.
As police in Taft, Calif., sort through the details of yet another school shooting on Thursday, Shelby County Public Schools continued its district-wide practice of lock-down protocol.
Shelby County High School had law enforcement, medical and emergency services out to the school to help conduct a full lock-down drill, and Principal Eddie Oakley and the school's visitors said they were pleased with what they saw.
Newly elected U.S. Rep. Thomas Massie's opening bill since taking the District 4 seat – to repeal the prohibition on guns on school campuses – has gained some attention but not necessarily support from the leaders of the institutions his bill purports to support.
When the U.S. House and Senate convened last week to begin the 2013 session, a flurry of bills were filed in response to the shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary school in Newtown, Conn., and President Barack Obama's mandate for tougher gun control restrictions.
When Seth England took off for Eastern Kentucky University in 2011, he already had set his sights on a degree in computer science with a focus on programming, but at that time he couldn't have known he would-be designing a game in Redmond, Wash., a year later.
A 4.0 student at Shelby County High School and in that first year at EKU, England decided to apply for admittance to DigiPen Institute of Technology, a prestigious school focused on computer science, engineering and art, with an emphasis on creating video games.
In the wake of the tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., on Friday in which left 26 dead, including 20 students, Shelby County Public Schools Superintendent James Neihof was quick to let parents know that SCPS has been and is continuing to do it all it can to keep students safe.
"We sent an E-mail to parents last night [Sunday] and to staff," he said. "We also put a statement on our Web site."
Devon Hickey and Analley Grave, who once left school without graduating, received their high school diplomas in a brief but touching ceremony held before the school board meeting Thursday night
The graduates made a short "walk" to the front of the room, to the music of "Pomp and Circumstance," and received their diplomas from Superintendent James Neihof, accompanied by their principals, Eddie Oakley of Shelby County High School and John Leeper of Collins.
It's official; the Shelby County Board of Education approved a recommendation to move the last day of school back one week to May 30.
After an unusually harsh winter caused forced the district to take 13 snow days, the end of the school year had been pushed back to June 6, instead of the originally scheduled May 21.
But adding only six days back to the original school calendar still gives the district plenty of time to meet the state's educational requirements.
The school tax rate for the 2014-15 school year will remain unchanged for a second straight year. During Thursday's regularly scheduled Board of Education meeting, the board voted to maintain the rate of 71.5 cents per $100 of assessed value, the same it has been for the last two years.
The Shelby County Board of Education commended Elizabeth McGuire on Thursday, for her achievement in being selected as a semifinalist in the 2015 National Merit Scholarship Program. McGuire, a senior at Martha Layne Collins High School, is one of only 16,000 semifinalists selected from the 1.5 million applicants to the program and is the sole semifinalist in the district.
"It's a major honor," SCPS public relations coordinator Ryan Allan said, noting his pride in her achievement.
Schools across the county will be mixing things up at the end of the month, when they will be asked to step out of their comfort zones and sit at a different table for lunch.
What may seem like a small task can have an enormous impact, Superintendent James Neihof explained.
"When students interact with those who are different from them, biases and misperceptions can fall away," he said.

Posted: Mar 27, 2008 11:25am ET
I have noticed some conversation in CA's online forums, as well as other places, about the quality of wrapper recently in Cuba, and I am not sure whether they are talking about the past, present or future. All I can tell you is that I am always concerned about the leaf. Wrapper, the leaf used on the outside of the cigar, is always the Achilles' heel of Cuban cigar production.I remember in the 1990s when the production of wrapper was so bad that they didn't have large enough leaves to roll anything much larger than a lonsdale. And that was during the heyday of double coronas. So big time big smoke lovers were not happy campers. I knew a Canadian millionaire who sent his private jet to pick up boxes of double coronas in Havana because no one else in the world had any!
But I think that there is a difference between not having wrapper and not having beautiful wrappers. For example, in the video with this blog I asked one of the sorters at the H. Upmann factory in Havana what he thought of the quality of wrapper and he said that that it was not very good. The hombre was one of a handful of workers deveining and classifying the wrappers into categories according to size, texture and color. The wrappers are then passed on to the rolling rooms to be used on cigars.
I think what the sorter was talking about, however, was the appearance of the wrapper and not the quality. From what I could see, they were lightly marked, instead of clean and beautiful. It's sort of like having a beautiful woman in a slinky, sexy Prada frock with a stain on the front. It diminishes the pleasure to the eye – at least in public – but doesn't necessarily ruin the evening.
And that's a point. An ugly wrapper still can potentially deliver good flavor. I have smoked homely, ugly duckling cigars that delivered just as good a smoke as the gorgeous swans… So don't be turned off.
Visa versa. I have had some of the most boring, stupid cigars of my life that looked beautiful on the outside but were bimbo smokes – no character, no flavor, no nothing. I was sorry I wasted my time with them.
The good news is that this year's wrapper crop in the field and curing barns in Pinar del Río look fabulous. Check out my old video posted on February 13, 2008. Look at the size of those leaves! Mega. I only hope that the curing goes well and the processing such as fermentations goes right. A large part of last year's crop was ruined due to bad curing and poor fermentations.

I have Cuban cigars from about 1978 to present from each decade. General construction and wrapper quality definitely decreased from the mid 90's boom years till about 98. I have several brands of cubies from 78 thru 81 including Por Larranaga, Maria Guerrero Monte #3's And some petit cor from H Upmann in a 5 count tin box that I can't find any listing for anywhere. Regardless, these smokes are a work of art. It requires only two senses for a truly excellent cigar, But it requires three for an exceptional one.

Apparently, having a black, Kenyan-born Communist who is both Muslim and a radical Christian in the Oval Office changes the rules of judicial appointments. That is the only conclusion we can reach for key Republican senators have reversed their opinions 180 degrees from what they've stated in the past.
This week was a time of penance. President Obama apologized for having given the impression that insurance policies would not be cancelled due to Obamacare. And 60 Minutes correspondent Lara Logan apologized for a Benghazi report that included an apparently false account by a security contractor. It's a good start; maybe these apologies will open the floodgates. Like maybe Sen. Lindsay Graham can apologize for using the faulty CBS report as an excuse for placing holds on all administration nominees. Or how about an apology from the GOP for the 47 million people affected by painful food stamp cuts that just took effect? Or, wider still, one for all the budget stunts that have cost the economy an estimated $700 billion? And why stop there? How about one for the financial crisis? Or for the mother of all unapologized-for misdeeds, the Iraq War? Wouldn't it be great if accountability were contagious?
Thousands of suckers -- I mean Glenn Beck Fans -- are paying good money to subscribe to Glenn Beck's internet-only shows, and this is what they're getting: ten minutes of Beck inexplicably playing with dolls from The Wizard of Oz. Seriously.
Cutting the Pentagon budget is in the interests of the vast majority of Americans who would rather that our tax dollars be used for domestic needs -- including by lowering taxes on working people -- than for foreign wars, foreign military bases, and exotic science fiction weapons systems.
Rather than respond positively to Rouhani's election, the U.S. House of Representatives -- just two days before his inauguration in August -- voted by an overwhelming 400-20 margin to impose punitive new sanctions on Iran.
It's all becoming clear now. House Republicans are just really big fans of Douglas Adams -- that's been their plan all along.
Since the Syria crisis began, there has been lots of talk from both sides of the political spectrum about how America should not be the "world's polic...
So the world looks to America to lead. Is seeking the approval of the American people through their elected leaders a 'failure' of leadership? Is a propensity to think before acting a sign of weakness?
Instead of acting as the regime's enabler, the Obama administration should "reset" relations with Cairo. The U.S. should cut off all aid and withdraw America's ambassador. If Washington has any influence to exercise, it should do so quietly and informally
U.S. policy in Egypt has been a disaster. Now the short-lived democratic revolution has been replaced by military rule with a meaningless civilian veneer. Washington should cut off foreign aid and disengage.
It has become conventional thinking that bipartisanship is moribund in American politics. Recent elections of Tea Party Republicans have cemented this mindset. Ironically, the increasing partisan polarity may actually have the unintended result of effectuating a new bipartisanship.
There is a very real chance that the Republican voters in Kentucky and South Carolina will vote for the Tea Party challengers because they view their senators as too moderate -- and that is problematic.
Washington's best hope is to disengage, leaving Egyptians to decide their own future. The administration should simply point to the law. A coup has occurred and the democratic process has been overthrown by the military, so aid must be halted.
In an unusual week when the Republicans are at each other's throats, they're still on the same side in the fight that matters: They're for the insurance industry, not us.
Did it just occur to Lindsey Graham -- after TWO YEARS blocking Richard Cordray -- that it was "wrong" to do so, just because you don't like the law?? Seriously?
You've tried to appease the Tea Party over the last four years, and what have you gotten for it? A constant threat of being deposed if you defy the will of a faction that is so focused on a minoritarian agenda that it could very well bring down the Grand Old Party.

AAA Texas 500 Race Recap - Marcos Ambrose
No. 9 DEWALT Ford Fusion
- Marcos Ambrose started the race at Texas Motor Speedway from the 12th spot
- Ambrose finished the 500-mile NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race in the 11th position
- Unofficially, Ambrose sits in 17th position in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series point standings
Race Summary: Marcos Ambrose started the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series event at Texas Motor Speedway from the 12th spot. He quickly drove his way into the Top 10 and was running in the eighth position by Lap 30, clicking off lap times as quick as the leader. Though his car was fast, Ambrose communicated to Crew Chief Todd Parrott that his DEWALT Ford was loose getting into the corners, tight in the center and loose on exit.
A routine pit stop under green flag conditions on Lap 42 allowed Parrott to call the No. 9 machine onto pit road for four tires, fuel and an air pressure adjustment in an attempt to correct the car's handling issues. Just eight laps after pitting for his initial stop of the day, Ambrose relayed to the crew that he really liked the changes made to the DEWALT Ford.
Continuing to run lap times as fast as the leader, Ambrose steadily drove his way toward the front of the field and was running in the fifth position when the first caution flag of the day flew on Lap 113. Before coming into the pits on Lap 114, Ambrose relayed to the crew that he was still fighting a tight condition through the center of the corners and there was too much load on the right front tire. Parrott elected to make an air pressure and track bar adjustment and add four fresh tires and fuel to the DEWALT car during the third stop of the day.
Restarting in fifth place, Ambrose slipped back a few position before letting the crew know that the changes made on the previous stop had not helped the car's handling. Another round of routine green flag pit stops near the middle stages of the race allowed the Richard Petty Motorsports crew to continue to make chassis adjustments on the car during a Lap 159 stop. Shortly after pitting, Ambrose keyed up his radio and told the No. 9 team that the car was the best it had been all day and he was pleased with the changes made.
As the race went on, Ambrose made his way to the second position on Lap 210 and ran inside the Top Five for the majority of the 334-lap event. A caution on Lap 263 for fluid on the track brought Ambrose down pit road for the seventh time during the AAA Texas 500, and Parrott called for only two right side tires, fuel and a wedge adjustment. Several teams elected to take four fresh tires during that round of pit stops, and as the race went on and the track temperatures dropped, the racing surface began to lose grip, allowing the teams with four fresh tires to capitalize and drive toward the front of the field.
Struggling to find grip with just two new tires, the DEWALT Ford was quickly losing positions and Parrott elected to short pit for four fresh tires on Lap 297. Falling as far back as the 26th spot on Lap 302, Ambrose pushed on and when the rest of the field had cycled through their final pit stops of the day, Ambrose was back inside the Top 15. With just a few laps remaining in the 500-mile event, Ambrose never gave up and drove his way to an 11th-place finish.
Ambrose now sits in 17th position in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series driver point standings heading into the 35th race of the season at Phoenix International Raceway.

Jan. 13 (Bloomberg) -- Citigroup Inc., JPMorgan Chase & Co. and Tullett Prebon Plc started restricting orders to convert French stocks into American Depositary Receipts amid concern about how taxation changes will affect share dealing.
The brokerages suspended taking orders yesterday for so- called cross-book swaps, where a client exchanges French shares for U.S.-listed ADRs, or didn't quote prices for the trades, according to four people familiar with the situation, who asked not to be identified because the information isn't public.
The move was prompted by legislation introduced on Jan. 1 that extends duties on the sale of shares outside France, one of the people said. It wasn't related to concern President Nicolas Sarkozy will impose a new tax on financial transactions. The law removed a 5,000-euro ($6,400) cap on the tax payable on a sale, KPMG LLP wrote in a report on its website dated Dec. 21.
"It's stemming from confusion regarding the new taxation of the transfer of shares, and had little to do with any possible new tax on financial transactions," Stephane Ekolo, chief European strategist at Market Securities in London, said in a phone interview. "That debate is still pending."
Kate Haywood, a spokeswoman for JPMorgan in London, Jeff French, a spokesman for Citigroup, and Nigel Szembel of Tullett Prebon all declined to comment.
France will lead the way in imposing duties on financial transactions in an effort to spur other countries into joining, Sarkozy said Jan. 10 in a speech in the eastern French city of Mulhouse. The president faces elections in a two-round vote in April and May this year and wants to make good on a pledge he made to impose such a tax when France last year held the presidency of both the G-8 and G-20 group of countries.

California employers cut payrolls by 15,800 jobs in October, marking a sharp contrast to gains nationwide, the state reported Friday.
The construction industry posted the biggest monthly decline, losing 5,000 jobs.
In all, nearly 15.3 million people in California held payroll jobs in October, the state Employment Development Department said.
The October decline followed a revised gain of 12,100 jobs in September.
The job losses came as the nation posted its biggest increase in five months.
California's unemployment rate was 5.6 percent last month, unchanged from September and up from 4.8 percent in October 2006.

Environmental factors may play a role in more than half of all cancers, with smoking leading the way as the most important contributor to cancer death.
Environmental factors can cause cancer in the same ways as other factors. The carcinogen enters the body, mainly through breathing but also by being ingested (for example, eating contaminated food) or absorbed through the skin. Having entered the body, the substance either can stay in the lungs, as asbestos does, or become absorbed into the body. Once absorbed, the carcinogen travels through the body in the blood, and can undergo chemical changes that make it more or less toxic. Eventually, the carcinogen or an activated form finds its way into individual cells and can cause mutations that lead to cancer.
The cancer risk posed by most environmental factors becomes greater with increased exposure, either in one large toxic dose or in small-dose exposures over a long period of time. Since it is not possible or ethical to willingly expose people to environmental carcinogens, information about their effects is gathered in four ways:
- Epidemiological studies. Cancer incidence within large population groups is measured by comparing subgroups with different exposure levels to the environmental carcinogen. For example, in any population group, when people who smoke are compared to people who don't smoke, the smokers have a higher rate of lung cancer.
- Natural experiments. If people are exposed accidentally to harmful levels of an environmental factor, they later can be compared to the general population to see if the exposure caused an increased cancer risk. For example, scientists have determined that children who lived near the site of the Chernobyl nuclear accident have an increased risk of thyroid cancer due to exposure to iodine radioactive fallout.
- Animal studies. By exposing animals (usually rats or mice) to dosages of a suspected carcinogen over time and measuring the effects, scientists make assumptions about what effect that carcinogen might have on humans. Although extrapolations based on animal data are subject to uncertainty, this method is very helpful in assessing human risk for factors that cannot be tested in any other way.
- Laboratory tests. A number of tests involving bacteria or cells are used to test if a suspected carcinogen can change DNA.
Considering these methods of measuring risk and the amount of potential carcinogen present in a situation, scientists can estimate the risk of cancer from that substance. For example, animal studies have shown that certain pesticides may promote tumor growth in the mammary tissue of rodents. But the amounts of those pesticides in foods are so small that they are believed to contribute negligibly, if at all, to human breast cancer. This assumption has been supported by studies that compared the amount of pesticide residue in a woman's blood to her risk of developing breast cancer. Breast cancer was found to be unrelated to the level of pesticide exposure.
