LS50/GU50 Both Grid Drive
Oddly enough there seems to be an actual G1=G2 graph for the LS50.
I wonder how applicable it might be for the Ruskie equivalent GU50? Looks to me about a 7K5 loadline with a reasonable 300V B+ Anyways, Zob has one (stuck in a military socket and not coming out). And asked if I could come up with any ideas for it. He also has a 5687 burning a hole for want of a good use. The objective is to power a Karlson K15 type, with a vintage coaxial. Its only gonna be a monoblock. If there are better ways to run this tube, I am not stuck on G1=G2. But I will present the idea for comments anyway. |

G1 = G2 makes it act like an 811, or similar tubes.. almost no plate current at VG1=VG2=0, and pulls grid current above of course...
pain in the *** to drive vs. normal triode or pentode mode... If I wanted a tube that was a pain to drive, I'd go with an 811, because it looks nice at least |

Pain to drive? What pain? 12 volts of swing, and all positive?
Any fifty cent op-amp could drive that... Now that you mention it, continuous A2 draw on the grids probably makes grid stoppers (for the GU50) unnecessary. |

Seems likely to me that g1=g2 drive will quickly start drawing heavy current on g1 before the plate current gets very high. (Thus explaining George's smoked Mosfet driver experiment) Since g2 won't have enough voltage on it to draw the little e buggers thru g1 and it also shields out the plate field too. I would suggest driving g2 directly with a resistive divider down to g1, so that each grid has drive voltage scaled to 1/gm. Net result would then be a doubling of the g2 gm effectively.

I have seen threads about this paralleling of grids before and just shook my head and kept silent. This is not the way a tube was designed to be used. To make a triode out of a tetrode or pentode, the screen gets tied to the plate. That is the proper way. And in so doing, the gain characteristics of the tube are changed such that the screen can operate at a higher voltage because it is in league with the plate and has less controlling effect. Screen and control grid do not get connected together. This is the way I was always taught.
Yet every so often people will go against the grain and try making a triode by tying them together. Has no one told them that is incorrect? That the usefull characteristics of a tube are destroyed? Perhaps I am too set in my ways and too old to learn new tricks. But I think not. IMHO using a tube in this maner is about as cockamamie as inverted tube operation. Maybe it's the fun of doing something one shouldn't or the joy of an exercise in near futility. I just don't know. Ok, end of rant. Victor

I am going to try a double-drive such a way:
1. Differential phase splitter, 2. 2 asymmetrical Concertinas (higher value of resistors in anodes) coupled to each anode of a diff stage directly; 3. Source followers from their anodes to screen grids of output pentodes, 4. Capacitive coupled cathodes of Concertinas to control grids of output pentodes. The result should be kind of opposite to UL mode.

and your grids are uncommonly driven. Yet you ran your load lines to positive twelve, despite the data that's given?" "In my youth," said the sage, as he soldered the joint, "I chose to run conventionally; but with these new options I find that I can increase power sensitivity."

Band Members
Band History
Each member of KantiRocks has been honing their skills for decades. And it shows. KantiRocks formed in 2008 in Cedar Rapids, and has a full, rich sound.
The band features Nikki D on vocals. She brings a wide variety of musical styles to the stage. Her background includes a stint singing standards with talented area pianists Tim Daugherty and Mark Pence. Hoopla sat down with Nikki to learn more about the band.
The band name KantiRocks — where did that come from?
"Kanti" is an American Indian name, meaning "she who sings." I discovered it in a book, which said that sometimes people can hear a message in a song, as opposed to someone just telling them a message straight out. "Rocks" is obviously the kind of music we do, and the boys really do rock. So, "She who sings — and they ROCK!" KantiRocks.
How did you get together?
Mike and I played in different bands in Cedar Rapids. I moved away, and when we were reunited Mike envisioned a musical direction and I expanded that concept in the presentation of KantiRocks. We searched for the members, interviewing talented musicians that bought in to the various concepts — female lead, clean lyrics, hard driving guitar based music. We also play only twice a month, and members needed to buy into that concept as well.
Describe the music you play?
Nineteen eighties and 90s pop metal. Our song selection sets us apart, and we hear that again and again. Lyrics are carefully screened, the music is guitar based and Marshall-amp driven. The full sound that we work on is the two-guitar format. We have two talented guitar players that can trade off lead and rhythm. Our motto is "All Killer, No Filler" While we do have a few songs that other bands do, the majority of our set list is comprised of songs that are not heard often and are technically more difficult to play.
What places are you playing these days?
KantiRocks plays at a variety of Cedar Rapids and surrounding area clubs — such as the Chrome Horse; the Red Baron, which has style and great sound; and Cedar River Landing, who gave us our first gigs. We also do private parties and family venues. Our style is hard driving but clean. People of all ages enjoy our music and energetic presentation. Your kids can come, your grandma can come, and find out they all like 80s music. The presentation from stage will be a positive environment for all.
KantiRocks has a new drummer, Dave Calhoun.

Permitting Conditional Land Uses
A typical zoning ordinance specifies not only uses that are permitted in each zoning district but also other uses that may be specially permitted only if certain specified conditions are met. Such uses are called conditional uses or special exceptions.
A property owner who wants to use her property for such a conditional use must first obtain a conditional use permit. Today, most zoning ordinances charge an administrative body called a planning commission with the authority to grant conditional use permits, but some ordinances give that authority to a board of zoning adjustment or even to the local legislative body.
The commission or other body holds a hearing, at which the property owner may present evidence that her use of the property meets the specified criteria for a conditional use permit. Other people, typically other property owners in the neighborhood, may attend the hearing and argue against granting the permit.
The commission considers the information presented at the hearing, along with the review and recommendations of the locality's planning staff, and decides whether to grant or deny the permit. The commission may grant the permit subject to conditions intended to ensure compliance with the criteria for approval of such a permit.
Zoning ordinances typically make a use conditional when it's considered appropriate in a certain zoning district — but only if it complies with certain conditions that reduce negative effects on the area. A group rehabilitation home, for example, may be considered appropriate in a residential zone as long as it doesn't negatively affect traffic and safety.
The local zoning ordinance may include relatively specific conditions, such as that another such use may not be within 500 feet of the proposed use. It may also include relatively general conditions, such as that the use must not impair property values in the area.
If a condition to granting a permit is too general and vague, such as one requiring the use of the property to be consistent with the public interest, it may be unconstitutional. A legislative body can constitutionally delegate its authority to an administrative body only if it provides sufficient guidance directing the administrative body's decisions; the legislative body can't simply surrender its legislative power.
A court may hold that merely telling the administrative body to decide whether a use is consistent with the public interest isn't enough guidance about when the legislative body has decided the use should be allowed and therefore is an unconstitutional delegation of legislative power.

Two heavyweights from the Goossen Tutor stable will appear in a non-televised undercard bout on Ward-Dawson card on September 8 at the Oracle Arena in Oakland, Calif. Malik Scott (34-0, 11 KOs) will put his undefeated record on the line against once-beaten Bowie Tupou (26-1, 16 KOs). "It's very unusual to match fighters, especially heavyweights, with a combined 60 victories and only one loss against one another when it's not for the world championship or televised on a major network," offered Dan Goossen, promoter of both fighters. "Our goal was simple though, have compelling bouts underneath more compelling bouts."

AC Milan striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic believes Samuel Eto'o's departure will be a big blow to Inter Milan's title challenge.
Eto'o has confirmed he's in advanced talks about a move to Anzhi.
Ibra said: "I cannot judge, as anyone would be tempted when faced with so much money," said Ibra of the rumoured €20m per season contract.
"If Inter lose Eto'o, then it's natural they'd also lose a lot of quality. He is one of the best in the world.
"Would I accept an offer from Russia? I am happy at Milan, so I'd say no. Just to be on the safe side, here's hoping I never receive such a proposal!"

Hall, J. and van Teijlingen, E., 2006. A Qualitative Study of an Integrated Maternity, Drugs and Social Care Service for Drug-using Women. BMC Pregnancy and Childbirth, 6 (19).
Full text available as:
| PDF (Qualitative study of drug-misuing pregnant women) - Published Version 278kB |
Background: The care of drug-using pregnant women is a growing health and social care concern in many countries. A specialist clinic was established offering multidisciplinary care and advice to pregnant drug users in and around Aberdeen (UK) in 1997. The majority of women stabilise and reduce their drug use. By determining the needs and views of the women more appropriate services and prevention strategies may be developed. There has been little research conducted in this area and none in Scotland. Methods: This is a qualitative study that aimed to gain an understanding of the experiences of women drug users, seeking and receiving prenatal care and drug services from a specialist clinic. Twelve women participated in semi-structured one-to-one interviews. Results: The women preferred the multidisciplinary clinic (one-stop shop) to traditional prenatal care centred within General Practice. The relationships of the clients to the range of Clinic professionals and in hospital were explored as well as attitudes to Clinic care. The study participants attributed success in reducing their drug use to the combination of different aspects of care of the multi-agency clinic, especially the high level prenatal support. It is this arrangement of all aspects of care together that seem to produce better outcomes for mother and child than single care elements delivered separately. Some women reported that their pregnancy encouraged them to rapidly detoxify due to the guilt experienced. The most important aspects of the Clinic care were found to be non-judgemental attitude of staff, consistent staff, high level of support, reliable information and multi-agency integrated care. Conclusion: There is an impetus for women drug users to change lifestyle during pregnancy. The study highlighted a need for women to have access to reliable information on the effects of drugs on the baby. Further research is required to determine whether positive outcomes related to clinic attendance in the prenatal period are sustained in the postnatal period. Early referral to a specialist clinic is of benefit to the women, as they reported to receive more appropriate care, especially in relation to their drug use. A greater awareness of needs of the pregnant drug user could help the design of more effective prevention strategies.

Theme for the Weekend: Open Source Problems/Misuse
We are beginning with Tom Adelstein's most recent review published earlier this week: Considering the Misuse of Open Source Time to Cull Proprietary Software from Open Source Branding Another View of the Hijack of Free/Open Source Software by the Unscrupulous I am going to cite just one case here of confusion by readers on the exact meaning of Open Source Software. This one is chosen due to its being fairly compact and I knew of it too well being one of the responders: Your opinions are welcome and sought. Thank you. |

i have compiled a computer to me 4 months ago
Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit16 Gb G.Skill RamHD 7970 GHz Edition GigabyteMSI Z77A-GD65 Gamingi5 3570KCorsair SSDand a Be.Quiet 630Watt.I had initially ca.4500 pts in 3D Mark 11 http://www.3dmark.com/3dm11/7311219, after a few adjustments and a driver change between beta and final beta again. And settings in the bios that were actually everything to default. I http://www.3dmark.com/3dm11/7317689.The map much better, but it is already the end?Funny in 3D Mark Vantage I 24000 pts http://www.3dmark.com/3dmv/4835816Could it possibly be due to DirectX. Vantage is 10 ^ ^
The first result is indeed quite low, but the second seems pretty well in line with what one would expect for a single 7970 with that processor (presumably at stock clocks).
The one result I can find for my two 7970's with a 3930K at 4.5GHz is P16755, broken down into 18692/14562/10804 for Graphics, Physics, and Combined. I don't know for sure, but I believe the 7970's were at 1100/1450 at the time.
Your graphics score of 9266 is pretty close to half of my 18692, especially given that they were almost certainly not done with the same driver version.
My Vantage score with the same setup (I have benchmark screenshots from the same day) was P55648, with a 60585/44717 GPU/CPU breakdown. Your 25829 is a bit further from half my 60585, but that could easily be due to CPU dependency in the benchmark. Vantage is orders of magnitude better than 3DMark06, which is heavily CPU bound at all settings, but it's still more influenced by CPU than 3DMark11 is.

TNF inhibitor
A TNF inhibitor is a pharmaceutical drug that suppresses response to tumor necrosis factor (TNF), which is part of the inflammatory response. TNF is involved in clinical problems associated with autoimmune and immune-mediated disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, inflammatory bowel disease, psoriasis, hidradenitis suppurativa and refractory asthma, so a TNF inhibitor may be used in their treatment. The important side effects that have been most extensively related to TNF inhibitors include lymphoma, infections (especially tuberculosis reactivation), congestive heart failure, demyelinating disease, a lupus-like syndrome, induction of auto-antibodies, injection site reactions, and systemic side effects.[1]
The global market for TNF inhibitors in 2008 was $13.5 billion[2] and $22 billion in 2009.[3]
History of anti-TNF treatments[edit]
Early experiments associated TNF function with the pathogenesis of bacterial sepsis, thus the first preclinical studies using anti-TNF antibodies were performed in animal models of sepsis[4] and showed that anti-TNF antibodies protected mice from sepsis. However, subsequent clinical trials in sepsis patients showed no significant benefit upon anti-TNF treatment. It wasn't until 1991 that studies in more physiological animal models of TNF overexpression, namely the human TNF transgenic mouse model, provided the pre-clinical rational for a causal role of TNF in the development of polyarthritis and that anti-TNF treatments could be effective against human arthritides.[5] This was later confirmed in clinical trials[6] and led to the development of the highly successful first biological therapies for RA.
This inhibition can be achieved with a monoclonal antibody such as infliximab[7] (Remicade), adalimumab (Humira), certolizumab pegol (Cimzia), and golimumab (Simponi), or with a circulating receptor fusion protein such as etanercept (Enbrel).
While most clinically useful TNF inhibitors are monoclonal antibodies, some are simple molecules such as xanthine derivatives[8] (e.g. pentoxifylline[9]) and Bupropion.[10] Bupropion is the active ingredient in the smoking cessation aid Zyban and the antidepressant Wellbutrin.
Several 5-HT2A agonist hallucinogens including (R)-DOI, TCB-2, LSD and LA-SS-Az have unexpectedly also been found to act as potent inhibitors of TNF, with DOI being the most active, showing TNF inhibition in the picomolar range, an order of magnitude more potent than its action as a hallucinogen.[11][12][13]
Therapeutic applications[edit]
Rheumatoid arthritis[edit]
The role of TNF as a key player in the development of rheumatoid arthritis was originally demonstrated by Kollias and colleagues in proof of principle studies in transgenic animal models.[14]
Clinical application of anti-TNF drugs in rheumatoid arthritis was demonstrated by Marc Feldmann and Ravinder N. Maini, who won the 2003 Lasker Award for their work.[15] Anti-TNF compounds help eliminate abnormal B cell activity.[16][17]
Skin disease[edit]
Clinical trials regarding the effectiveness of these drugs on hidradenitis suppurativa are currently (2009) ongoing.[18]
The National Institute of Clinical Excellence (NICE) have issued guidelines for the treatment of severe psoriasis using the Anti-TNF drugs etanercept (Enbrel) and adalimumab (Humira) as well as the Anti-IL12/23 biological treatment ustekinumab. In cases where more conventional systemic treatments such as psoralen combined with ultraviolet A treatment (PUVA), methotrexate and ciclosporin have failed to treat or can not be tolerated, these newer biological agents may be prescribed. Infliximab may be used to treat severe plaque psoriasis if afore mentioned treatments fail or can not be tolerated.[19]
Side effects[edit]
The FDA continues to receive reports of a rare cancer of white blood cells (known as Hepatosplenic T-Cell Lymphoma or HSTCL), primarily in adolescents and young adults being treated for Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis with medicines known as tumor necrosis factors (TNF) blockers, as well as with azathioprine, and/or mercaptopurine.[20]
Opportunistic infections[edit]
Starting TNF inhibition puts patients at increased risk of opportunistic infections. FDA has warned about the risk of infection from two bacterial pathogens, Legionella and Listeria. People taking TNF blockers are at increased risk for developing serious infections that may lead to hospitalization or death due to bacterial, mycobacterial, fungal, viral, parasitic, and other opportunistic pathogens.[21]
In patients with latent Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection, active tuberculosis (TB) may develop soon after the initiation of treatment with infliximab.[22] Before prescribing the drug, physicians should screen patients for latent TB infection or disease. The anti-TNF monoclonal antibody biologics, Infliximab and adalimumab, and the fusion protein etanercept which are all currently approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for human use, have label warnings which state that patients should be evaluated for latent TB infection and treatment should be initiated prior to starting therapy with these medications.
Fungal infections[edit]
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a warning on September 4, 2008, that patients on TNF inhibitors are at increased risk of opportunistic fungal infections, such as pulmonary and disseminated histoplasmosis, coccidioidomycosis, and blastomycosis. They encourage clinicians to consider empiric antifungal therapy in all patients at risk until the pathogen is identified.[23]
Anti-TNF agents in nature[edit]
TNF or the effects of TNF are also inhibited by a number of natural compounds, including curcumin[24][25][26][27] (a compound present in turmeric), and catechins (in green tea). Also activation of cannabinoid CB1 or CB2 receptors by cannabis or Echinacea purpurea seem to have anti-inflammatory properties through TNF inhibition.[28]

Women's changing socioeconomic position and union formation in Spain and Portugal
Date received: | 09 Jul 2007 |
Date published: | 29 Aug 2008 |
Word count: | 6912 |
Keywords: | cohabitation, education, employment, independence hypothesis, marriage, Portugal, South Europe, Spain, union formation, women's status |
DOI: | 10.4054/DemRes.2008.19.41 |
Economic and sociological theories of marriage have long emphasized the impact of women's education and employment on union formation. In this study, we explore the relevance of the female economic independence hypothesis to explain women's patterns of entry into marriage and cohabitation in Portugal and Spain. In these two Southern European countries, gender equity has improved remarkably in the public sphere, but family relations remain structured along traditional gender roles. We focus on three indicators of women's autonomy: educational attainment, employment status and having lived independently from the family of origin. The analysis is based on the Fertility and Family Surveys and discrete-time multinomial logistic regression models are used to estimate the odds of marrying, cohabiting or remaining single. The results suggest that whereas the effect of female education is consistent with the independence hypothesis, women's labour force participation encourages union formation, particularly among younger cohorts. Living independently from the family of origin reduces the likelihood of entering marriage but increases considerably the odds of cohabiting.

Today it gives me an error "Fetch can not start-up"

Any thoughts?
Jim Matthews Administrator
Is that the exact message?
I'd try removing the "Fetch Prefs", "Fetch Cache" and "Fetch Shortcuts" files from your Preferences folder (in the System Folder). If that works I'd be interested in seeing the files, so that I can make Fetch more resilient in these situations.

Parts of a Compound Microscope
Here is a quick overview of the most important parts of a compound microscope (biological microscope) and their function.
The following list of terms can also be found in the glossary:
- Condenser: This is a system of different lens elements which is mounted beneath the stage of the microscope. It contains an iris diaphragm which controls the diameter of the light beam. The light beam should be adjusted to be larger or equal to the numerical aperture of the objective in use. Condensers can be moved up and down. The normal operating position is up.
- Base: This is the bottom part of the microscope, it contains the lamp.
- Coarse Focus: Also referred to as rough focus, this knob raises and lowers the microscope stage quickly. It should only be used in connection with the low magnification lenses.
- Eyepiece Lens: Also known as ocular lenses, they magnify the image of the objective. The eyepiece is the lens into which a person looks into when observing. The total magnification of a microscope is calculated by multiplying the magnification of the objective by the magnification of the eyepiece. Many eyepiece lenses have a magnification of 10x ot 15x.
- Fine Focus: This focus knob moves the stage up and down in small steps. It is used to focus at different layers of the specimens.
- Head: This is the top part of the microscope. It carries the eyepiece(s) and other optical elements. There are several different types of heads: a monocular head is designed to carry only one eyepiece, a binocular head carries two (but does not give stereoscopic vision in compound microscopes) and a trinocular head is designed to carry a camera as well.
- Mechanical Stage: This type of stage is equipped with a slide holder and two knobs to turn. One knob moves the stage backwards and forwards, the other one moves the slide sideways.
- Nosepiece (or revolving nosepiece, turret): This part carries the objectives. It can be rotated.
- Objective Lens: This is a highly magnifying lens system, it is located close to the specimen to be observed. The image of the objective is then magnified again by the ocular lens which is close to the eye.
- Stage: This is the flat surface on which the slides are placed on. It can be moved up and down for focusing.
- Stage Clips: These are clips that hold the slide.
- Trinocular Head: This microscope head has three exits, two for viewing (for binocular vision) and a third exit to connect a camera. Some microscopes also allow for taking photographs through a special adapter at the eyepiece, but a trinocular head offers more stability and is to be preferred for photographic work.

Flickering bathroom fixture
The two light fixture in my master bathroom has started flickering recently sometimes to the point of going completely out for a second or two. But, only one of the light bulbs does this. The other bulb seems to be fine.
Its also erratic. May do this one time your in the room and not the next! I pulled the fixture off the wall today, unwired everything, didn't find anything abnormal, rewired it, changed bulbs from one side to the other, but it stills flickers! Anyone have any suggestions on what the problem could be? Thanks for your help. Bobby |
I think I've fixed the problem. I changed out the light socket on the side that was flickering and so far that seems to have done the trick.

I've reached a point in my financial life where I tend to analyze everything to death. It's not just because of the money, either, although that's a big part of it. My small house only has so much space, so I'm constantly thinking, "Do I really need/want this?" Not only that, I have several longer-term goals I'm trying to reach so I ask myself questions like, "If I buy this today, what's the effect on my other goals? Is it worth it?" Plus, as I get older I find I'm actually happier with less stuff. It's less to worry about, maintain, clean, and use.
So I over-analyze everything. I can stand in the store for a solid half

Live updates
Flood warning in Twyford following yesterday's rainfall
A flood alert has been issued by the Environment Agency, warning people of possible flooding for the Lower River Loddon at the River Thames confluence including Twyford, Charvil and Wargrave.
Levels are expected to continue to rise today and flooding of low lying land and roads is expected this afternoon, especially in the Twyford area.
Local residents are urged to follow these safety tips:
- Be prepared to protect yourself, family, pets and property.
- Call Floodline on 0845 988 1188 for up-to-date flooding information.
- Keep an eye on local water levels and weather conditions.
- Visit the Environment Agency website for river level and flooding information.
- Tune into weather, news and travel bulletins on local television and radio.
- Avoid walking, cycling or driving through flood water.
Make-over for locks along the River Thames
Eleven locks along the River Thames will be refurbished this winter now that the Environment agency is investing nearly 1.8 million pounds in the scheme. Some locks will be closed for a time, but the renovation work will see improved navigation routes for boaters and visitors along the water.
The River Thames is used by millions of people each year - from boaters and walkers, through to anglers and those attending various events all along the river. The Environment Agency will invest the money between September 2014 and March 2015. Among the locks set to benefit are Abingdon Lock , Caversham Lock, Marlow Lock and Cookham Lock.
Safe recovered from the River Thames
Kent Police is appealing for information after a safe was recovered from the Thames at Greenhithe.
At 8.09am on Sunday 27 July, officers received a report that two men had been witnessed throwing a safe over the seawall into the river at Sara Crescent.
The safe was recovered later that day at Denton Wharf. It appeared as though it had been damaged. Inside was a set of digital scales and other objects too water-damaged to be identified.
A 22 year old man from Sittingbourne was arrested hours later on suspicion of theft and bailed pending further investigation until 27 August.
We have reason to believe this safe was stolen before it was dumped but are looking for information to help us establish the circumstances around the theft and to try to help us locate its owner. 'I'd ask anybody with information to call me on 01474 366042. Alternatively, to remain anonymous, call Kent Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.'
River traffic to resume under Whitchurch Bridge in Berkshire
Whitchurch Bridge is due to reopen to river traffic today despite delays in reconstruction caused by the floods.
It will not be reopened to road traffic until September and navigation will be restricted for the next six months.
The Edwardian toll bridge on the non-tidal river links Pangbourne in Berkshire with Whitchuch in Oxfordshire. Work has been at a virtual halt since early this year when river levels started to rise.
A notice from Environment Agency Harbourmaster Matt Carter said: "The width of navigation will be restricted to varying degrees throughout the ongoing works. The minimum navigation width will be 7 metres.
"When this is in operation, one-way river traffic will be managed by the contractors during lock keeper hours of duty. To permit safe navigation, a buoyed channel will be in place and this will be lit between sunset and sunrise.
Body found in Thames believed to be missing woman
The body of a woman has been found in the River Thames this afternoon.
It has not yet been formally identified, but police think it is that of missing woman Sirzana Saeed. She had been missing since this morning. Her next of kin have been informed.
Thames Valley Police would like to thank the press, public and the search teams for their help.
Meeting to discuss third Thames bridge
A meeting is being held later about a third bridge over the River Thames. The MP for Reading East Rob Wilson, says for too long there's been "too great a reliance put on Sonning's one lane bridge" - which has been closed recently due to flooding and repairs.
Rob said "For decades there have been calls for a third river crossing but to date no agreement has been reached. I hope that by bringing together representatives from all three authorities we will start the process of actually listening to what local people on both sides of the border want.
The massive congestion and delays suffered by motorists and residents as a result of Sonning Bridge's recent closure has not been limited to my constituents in Caversham, Reading and Woodley, but also to John Howell MP's constituents in the Henley and Sonning Eye area.**
The meeting will be in the sports hall at Highdown School & Sixth Form Centre which is on Surley Row, Emmer Green, RG4 8LR
Thousands of fish found dead near the Thames
Thousands of fish have been found dead near the River Thames in Goring. The recent flooding has seen exceptionally high river flows over an extended period of time, which has caused some fish to seek refuge on flooded fields and meadows.
Unfortunately, fish can become trapped as result and may die due to suffocation as levels leave them stranded or water quality deteriorates.
The Environment Agency has carried out a number of rescues of trapped fish in the past, and as a result know of a number of historic sites where fish become trapped after flooding.
This week, fisheries officers became aware of fish trapped in a small pond off the River Thames, near Goring. The team used electrofishing equipment to remove the fish, including Perch, Dace, Chub, and Roach, and returned them to the River Thames.
New nature reserve to protect threatened species
Video. Work has started today on a new wetland nature reserve to protect threatened species such as water voles and otters along the River Thames in Oxfordshire. The River of Life project will transform a two and a half kilometre stretch of the river near Wallingford.
The aim is to return the area to nature with wet woodland, reed beds, ponds and backwaters and will take several years to complete. Heather Edwards reports.
Boys find briefcase full of guns in Thames
Video. Alex Weller and Josh Cook did not expect to haul out a rifle when they went fishing this weekend. But that is exactly what they found. Divya Kohli reports.
Peaceful spot where rifle was found in the Thames
Video. Divya Kohli went to visit the spot where a rifle was fished out of the River Thames by two teenagers, Alex Weller and Josh Cook.

Serum thyroid-stimulating hormone concentration and morbidity from cardiovascular disease and fractures in patients on long-term thyroxine therapy. | |
MedLine Citation:
PMID: 19906785 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE |
CONTEXT: For patients on T(4) replacement, the dose is guided by serum TSH concentrations, but some patients request higher doses due to adverse symptoms. OBJECTIVE: The aim of the study was to determine the safety of patients having a low but not suppressed serum TSH when receiving long-term T(4) replacement. DESIGN: We conducted an observational cohort study, using data linkage from regional datasets between 1993 and 2001. SETTING: A population-based study of all patients in Tayside, Scotland, was performed. PATIENTS: All patients taking T(4) replacement therapy (n = 17,684) were included. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Fatal and nonfatal endpoints were considered for cardiovascular disease, dysrhythmias, and fractures. Patients were categorized as having a suppressed TSH (<or=0.03 mU/liter), low TSH (0.04-0.4 mU/liter), normal TSH (0.4-4.0 mU/liter), or raised TSH (>4.0 mU/liter). RESULTS: Cardiovascular disease, dysrhythmias, and fractures were increased in patients with a high TSH: adjusted hazards ratio, 1.95 (1.73-2.21), 1.80 (1.33-2.44), and 1.83 (1.41-2.37), respectively; and patients with a suppressed TSH: 1.37 (1.17-1.60), 1.6 (1.10-2.33), and 2.02 (1.55-2.62), respectively, when compared to patients with a TSH in the laboratory reference range. Patients with a low TSH did not have an increased risk of any of these outcomes [hazards ratio: 1.1 (0.99-1.123), 1.13 (0.88-1.47), and 1.13 (0.92-1.39), respectively]. CONCLUSIONS: Patients with a high or suppressed TSH had an increased risk of cardiovascular disease, dysrhythmias, and fractures, but patients with a low but unsuppressed TSH did not. It may be safe for patients treated with T(4) to have a low but not suppressed serum TSH concentration. |

RIM's leadership structure, with its co-CEOs, has been an odd one from its outset. Lazaridis and Balsillie concentrated on making a great messaging device, which the BlackBerry still is. But browser performance has never been good, and an app story has yet to materialize for the BlackBerry. Only 5% of our respondents are willing to let the CEO pair off the hook. But would someone else have done better? Not many companies invent the successor to their own market leading product.

SPINVADERS - 0.0.4Jack Nutting (jnutting)Tags:DescriptionThis game is based on the classic Space Invaders game. You control a gun turret at the bottom of the screen, and must fight off wave after wave of alien invaders. Of course they can shoot back at you and kill you by touching you.
The game levels get progressively more difficult as you go along, with the aliens increasing in numbers and speed, and acquiring better, faster bullets.
Spinvaders features a point multiplier mechanism based on your shot accuracy. Each hit will increase the point multiplier (to a maximum of ten), and each bullet that goes off into space will decrease the multiplier.
When the multiplier reaches ten, you acquire the "super-gun", which fires more quickly, is slightly larger, and is more devastating when it hits; The alien which is hit throws off a couple bits of shrapnel which are deadly to other aliens, and then it falls burning to the bottom of the screen, where it is deadly to you. ChangesThis is primarily a bug-fix release; the main bug was that 0.0.3 and earlier could not run on Mac OS X 10.4; Now, spinvaders is much more future-proof and should continue to run "forever".
