The development of new cancer therapeutic agents is one of the fundamental goals in medicinal chemistry. One newer strategy for the research on new antimicrobial therapeutic agents has been the use of N- and S-containing small heterocyclic compounds. In the race to synthesize new antiproliferative drugs, thiophene derivatives have attracted a great deal of attention amongst the scientific community due to their therapeutic uses. The thienyl nucleus is also the core structure of a great number of cancer growth inhibitors. Thiophene and the thienyl core have attracted the attention of the scientific community due to their therapeutic uses as antimicrobial [

All cultures were maintained at 37 °C, 95% relative humidity and 5% CO2. Prior to each cytotoxicity test, the cells were harvested using trypsin–ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA)–PBS solution (with 0.25% trypsin–0.05mM according to the distributor's instructions) and diluted at a density of 5 × 105 cells/mL in MTT assays. Stock cultures were passaged every third day after harvesting the cells with 0.05% trypsin and seeding 8 × 103 cells/cm2 in tissue culture flasks to maintain the cells in the exponential phase. All experiments were carried out in exponentially growing cells. The cell suspension was seeded into 24-well plates (Corning, New York, NY, USA) at 100 µL well, and incubated for approximately 20–24 h before tests in order to reach confluency. Before the cells were seeded into 24-well plates, the plates were treated with 0.01% poly-D-lysine solution (Sigma-Aldrich, Germany).
Cells were seeded in 24-well plates at a concentration of 2–4 × 103 cells/well in 200 μL of complete media and incubated for 24 h at 37 °C in 5% CO2 atmosphere to allow for cell adhesion. All assays were performed in two independent sets of quadruplicate tests. Control group containing without treatment was run in each assay.

text: The revenue reserve for Italy relates to a notification received by Biogen Idec from the Italian National Medicines Agency during the fourth quarter of 2011, stating that sales of Tysabri had exceeded a limit established by the agency in 2007. Biogen Idec filed an appeal in December 2011 seeking a ruling that Biogen Idec's interpretation is valid and that the position of the agency is unenforceable. As a result of this dispute, Biogen Idec deferred $14.2 million of revenue recognized on in-market net sales of Tysabri in Italy during the third quarter of 2012, having previously deferred $16.3 million of revenue in Italy during the second quarter of 2012, $16.5 million during the first quarter of 2012 and $13.8 million during the fourth quarter of 2011. Elan expects that Biogen Idec will continue to defer a portion of in-market revenues on future sales of Tysabri for Italy until the matter is resolved. As a consequence of this deferral of in-market net sales by Biogen Idec, Elan has deferred $6.8 million of revenue in the third quarter of 2012 related to these sales, $22.5 million in the first nine months of 2012 and $29.4 million to date, reflecting the operating and accounting arrangements between the companies.If the matter is not resolved during 2012, Elan estimates that Biogen Idec would defer $60-70 million of 2012 Tysabri in-market net sales as a result. This would result in a deferral of revenues and Adjusted EBITDA by Elan for the full-year 2012 of approximately $30-35 million and $20-25 million, respectively. In the ROW market, Biogen Idec is responsible for distribution, and Elan records as revenue its share of the profit or loss on ROW sales of Tysabri, plus Elan's directly-incurred expenses on these sales. As a result, in the ROW market, Elan recorded net revenue of $75.9 million for the third quarter of 2012 compared to $81.9 million for the third quarter of 2011.

Everything and more . . . : Celebrity Reflection Cruise Review by Ruby Super Hoops
Overall Member Rating
Everything and more . . .
Destination: Europe - Eastern Mediterranean
Embarkation: Rome (Civitavecchia)
in our late 50's early 60's and whilst we are well travelled our friends are not. None of our party had been on a cruise before which made booking quite daunting. It was vital we chose the right cruise line, ship and itinerary as a wrong choice could put us off cruising for good.
We booked through Thomas Cook and thought their help, advice personal touch was exactly what we required. I am not good on a boat and my greatest fear was to be ill during the holiday especially as it was costing a fair amount of money. We wanted a balcony room and were advised to go mid ship, deck 9 and port side - this we did and it was sound advice. I think we were lucky with the weather and sea conditions but I can honestly say I never once felt uncomfortable and would not even know I was on a ship.
The journey was really good, flight bang on time and comfortable, transfers were More well organised and getting on board was really quite simple. By midday we were having lunch still gob smacked by the size and beauty of the ship. We went to our room and part of out luggage was already outside the door, the rest followed after about an hour which we all thought was more than acceptable. Really, really impressed with the room - more space than I was expecting and in pristine condition. The bathroom was well designed, lots of room and storage along with a shower that gave you excellent pressure and hot water immediately, every time. Have to say the bed was the most comfortable I have ever slept in and really wanted to take it home with me, slept very well every night. Our room was kept very clean and our only moan was there was no shower gel given only soap - we mentioned this and the problem was sorted immediately.
The ship itself is magnificent - obviously being new helps but you can see all the staff are very proud of their work place and everyone treated it with respect and was constantly being cleaned by the friendly staff. The lifts can sometimes be an issue but is having to wait a few moments longer a really big problem?- no.
Our worst fear was this could be 'Butlins' on Sea (no disrespect to Butlins) but it really was not, there are plenty of different bars you can visit which suit all types of people. We felt you could make of the holiday whatever you wanted it to be - we enjoyed the quiz's (did not do very well) and the music every night on deck 3. Thought the band was excellent with good variety. In other bars there was classical or disco's - it was your choice. It took us a few days to get ourselves organised and think once we did we enjoyed what the ship had to offer even more. The entertainment was on the whole very good - obviously some shows were better than others but that is personal choice. We enjoyed the Elton John show and the final show of the trip which included some very interesting acts.
Two other things we really liked - there was a wide range of different nationalities on board and we spoke to Australians, Americans, Canadians along with many others from Europe and New Zealand - all were very friendly and in the main were very happy to spend a bit of time sharing their life experiences. All staff members wear name badges along with the country they come from - think it is about 60 different ones in total and apart from two or three they were all wonderful and did their best to make you welcome and ensure you were happy.
We had select dining in the Opus restaurant and have to say the food and service really was first class. There were two formal evenings and on the first evening we ate at the Tuscan Grill (paid extra) - it was very, very good. The food and service was exceptional but far to much to eat for us. The second formal evening we ate in the buffet - again the food was really good and the presentation and attention to detail was fantastic. When you understand how many meals they prepare during the course of the day to the standards they set themselves is is mind boggling!! We all felt the quality of the food throughout the trip was excellent - even the burgers at the pool bar were exceptional!!
The itinerary was a big reason for selecting this cruise and on balance we made exactly the right choice. Prior to travelling a lot of research was carried out and we chose to go with private tours rather than use the ones on offer from Celebrity. Have to say we made the right choice - lets be fair we were lucky there was four of us to share the cost but the flexibility and personal attention was most welcome. We were not waiting around because one or two people were late returning to the tour and were able to see places that the bigger tours/coaches could not reach.
Sicily - booked through Sicily Limousine Service. Excellent guide, nice clean comfortable vehicle and we thought excellent value for money.
Athens - took the open top bus from the port. Not impressed with Athens, traffic a real problem and would not rush back.
Ephesus - have to be honest and say I was worried about this trip. Lots of different reviews about not feeling safe etc. We booked though Osman Tourism and have to say this was one of the best trips. Really good driver and guide, included lunch away from the crowds and such history quite stunning.
Rhodes - should have spent more time in the old town. Did an open top bus trip and not the best I have ever been on but still quite nice. Our fault about the old town - felt we missed out.
Santorini - Our Guide was Martin - really great laid back guy who clearly loves the island (don't blame him) and we really enjoyed the trip. Stunning views and the only negative was the wait (about an hour) to get back to the dock using the cable car service.
Mykonos - we booked a day at the Saint John Hotel - 70 Euro to include breakfast and a massage. Spent the day by the pool and relaxed. Well worth the money - collected and took you back to the ship.
Naples - Booked with Italy Limousine - went to Positano, Amalfi etc. Crowded places but stunning.
Celebrity's attention to detail is well worth mentioning - a nice welcome back to the ship after each trip, cold towels and drink along with a nice smile. Chocolate on pillow each evening and staff who are friendly and approachable at all levels. Had our photo taken with the Captain and we had chosen not to dress formally for dinner - I explained to him that was not really what we wanted to do and I was only dressed in shorts. He said to me it was our cruise, our choice and he would be very happy to have his photo taken with us - nice touch.
When booking we thought this was an expensive holiday but when you break down the cost per person, per day for what you get it is not expensive at all - in my opinion the complete opposite. We had the Premium drinks package and thought we got very good value for money - the drinks on board are not cheap especially if you want the nicer wines, cocktails and spirits.
To sum up we are glad we chose Celebrity and Reflection as our first cruise, we had a great holiday and although we will not go on a cruise for every holiday in the future there is no doubt we will do so again in the future. Less

Another week of surprises means another shakeup in the USA TODAY Heisman Watch.
Oklahoma State's Brandon Weeden had jumped to the top of the poll and the Cowboys were unbeaten entering last weekend. But after OSU fell to Iowa State and Weeden threw three interceptions, the senior quarterback has slipped all the way to sixth place.
Surging into a tie for first place is Baylor quarterback Robert Griffin III after the junior threw for 479 yards and five touchdowns in an upset defeat of Oklahoma. Griffin, who was tied for sixth last week with four points, received five of 10 first-place votes and 38 points overall after another breakout performance.
Joining him at No. 1 is Stanford's Andrew Luck, who led in every poll before last week. The junior quarterback had another steady performance against California and can make a big impression in his final game against No. 24 Notre Dame.
Lurking behind the leading duo is Trent Richardson at 25 points. The Alabama running back has totaled 1,380 yards and 20 touchdowns entering the Tide's regular-season finale against Auburn.
Case Keenum of Houston and Kellen Moore of Boise State flip-flopped positions at fourth and fifth with 19 and 14 points, respectively.
Keenum and the Cougars remain unbeaten entering a big game at Tulsa. Moore and the Broncos are still in contention for a possible at-large berth if Houston stumbles.
Wisconsin running back Montee Ball joins the poll this week tied for sixth with Weeden at seven points.

On Wednesday, December 5, the Chesapeake Executive Council (EC) met at Maryland's historic State House in Annapolis to create history of their own by committing to "champion" specific measures aimed at accelerating Bay cleanup.
The Executive Council, which establishes the policy direction for the restoration and protection of the Bay and its living resources, includes the governors of Maryland, Pennsylvania and Virginia; the administrator of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency; the mayor of the District of Columbia; and the chair of the Chesapeake Bay Commission. This year, representatives from Delaware and West Virginia, as well as the U.S. Department of Agriculture, were also in attendance.
The purpose of each state choosing "champion" issues is to focus on those particular issues that are vital to restore the streams, rivers and Bay waters in their individual jurisdictions. The outcomes of the various projects or programs are intended to be models that can be used in other towns, municipalities, counties, cities and states. As each "champion" makes progress, it will report back to the partnership. The partners will be encouraged to consider the individual models and modify them for their respective uses.
The areas of focus for each state were:
District of Columbia
West Virginia
One area of focus that all members of the EC committed to champion was forest conservation. At the meeting, the EC announced a collective goal of preserving 695,000 acres of forestland throughout the entire Bay watershed.

Viadana (14) 31Tries: Pedersen 2, Birchall, Bortolussi Cons: Howarth 4 Pens: Howarth
Glasgow Warriors claimed a Heineken Cup Pool Four victory over Viadana in a high-scoring encounter at Firhill.
Dan Parks scored five conversions, two penalties and a try and Hefin O'Hare, Graeme Morrison, Sam Pinder and John Barclay also scored tries.
Sean Lineen's men made heavy going of snuffing out the Italian challenge.
Viadana pressed throughout and responded through a brace of tries from Hayden Pedersen, while Aldo Birchall and Steven Bortolussi also crossed.
The Warriors' win lifts them to the top of the group with six points.
They looked on course to romp to an emphatic success when they opened up a 17-point lead.
However, they surrendered the initiative and ended up scrambling to a far from convincing win - the tide only turning back in their favour when Viadana had two men in the sin-bin.
And their carelessness could prove to be their undoing if qualification boils down to points difference.
Lineen made it clear he was far from happy at the performance of his side.
"I have absolutely nothing good to say about the game or our performance, apart from the fact that we picked up five points.
"Viadana showed a lot of guts and they took their chances well.
"But from my point of view it was definitely the poorest display I have seen from Glasgow since I became involved with the club," he added.
"We have a huge amount of work to do if we want to have any chance of being involved in the battle for qualification to the knock-out stages.
"First, we have a massively important league match against Cardiff next weekend and we will have to improve considerably."

Joe Arpaio Pinatas Already in Production at Mario Ramos Imports
When Crafty Chica Kathy Cano-Murillo cut loose with the secret that there's a Mexican craft store in town, we were in the car within minutes. Mario Ramos Imports, on 32nd Street south of McDowell, has a nice supply of extra-thick Mexican embroidery thread, a few pillowcases and placemats with cool patterns to embroider and some ceramic imports, but the real draw turned out to be the custom-made pinatas.
We've been a little pinata-obsessed since Scott Jacobson announced he's going to be starting a company that will make pinatas crafted to look like Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio and Governor Jan Brewer, as well as other local pols deserving (in some minds, anyway) of a figurative knock upside the head.
But in the last few weeks, we've left several messages for Jacobson; he's AWOL. So we got an idea when we noticed piles of newspaper and a bowl of glue outside Mario Ramos Imports.
We didn't know how Ramos would feel about our question.
First, to break the ice -- and because we have a 7-year-old's birthday party to throw -- we requested Olivia, the pig made somewhat famous by Ian Falconer's children's books. Just bring a picture, he said. So we did, and two days later, we were shoving a big pink pig with a red dress into a small car. Not bad. And cheap, $45 for the deluxe version.
Still a little unsure, we approached Ramos.
"So, you'll make anything?"
"Sure, anything!" He had a lovely margarita in the works at the moment.
We grabbed the paper mache bull by the horns.
"How about Joe Arpaio?"
Ramos cracked up. Turns out, he's already made half a dozen. He'll be happy to make you one, too.
We'll keep you posted on Jacobson's progress, as well, if he gets back to us.
Mario Ramos Imports, 1400 N. 32nd Street, Phoenix, 602-273-4696.

Pete Seeger, Neil Young, Dave Matthews and Jack Johnson Highlight Farm Aid 2013
After 27 years of Farm Aid, there aren't many surprises that would shock the seasoned Farm Aid-goer. However, when 94-year old Pete Seeger took the stage at Saratoga Springs' Performing Arts Center, most everyone in the venue knew this was one of those moments.
Seeger, banjo in tow, walked on stage after an introduction from Farm Aid leader Willie Nelson to play "If I Had a Hammer," the 1949 Lee Hays collaboration about the progressive movement, and the Woody Guthrie classic "This Land Is Your Land." For the latter of the two, Seeger asked the Farm Aid Board of Directors (Willie Nelson, Neil Young, John Mellencamp and Dave Matthews) to join him on vocals. With admittedly not much voice left, Seeger also encouraged the crowd to help him out on harmony for "This Land Is Your Land."
While Seeger provided one of the most memorable moments of the evening, he certainly wasn't the only takeaway. This day-long concert boasted some of the biggest names in music as well as bright young stars, most of who kicked off the day. Lukas Nelson & Promise of the Real proved to own the pre-sunset portion of the show, ripping through a strong selection of Southern rock songs. While most performers opt for the quieter, acoustic setting, Nelson was anything but, wailing away on his guitar for most of his set.
Seemingly out of place in the sea of country and classic rock acts, Toad the Wet Sprocket represented the 90's alternative scene well, running through old as well as new. The band is preparing the release of their first album in nearly 16 years, New Constellation.
As the sun began to set, it was time for the heavyweights to take the stage. Jack Johnson, making his second appearance at Farm Aid, wasted little time getting the crowd into his feel-good spirit, opening with two popular cuts "Better Together" and "Sitting, Waiting, Wishing" from 2005's In Between Dreams.
As far as new songs are concerned, Johnson played "Radiate" and "Shot Reverse Shot" from his latest release From Here To Now To You. The highlight of the set came when Johnson invited Lukas Nelson on stage for a take on Led Zeppelin's "Whole Lotta Love" mixed with Jack's original "Staple It Together."
Dave Matthews was the first Farm Aid Board of Directors member to perform. Alongside his longtime collaborator and friend, Tim Reynolds, Matthews moved through a solid mix of old and new in his seven song set. Including DMB hits such as "#41" and "Two Step," Matthews and Reynolds also touched on material from Matthews' solo effort Some Devil with "Save Me" and "So Damn Lucky." Played for the first time acoustically, the new DMB cut "If Only" from 2012's Away From the World stole the show with beautiful accompaniment from Reynolds.
Armed with a "Keep Calm and Ban Fracking" shirt, the always outspoken Neil Young launched into a cover-heavy seven song set. Starting with Bob Dylan's "Blowin' in the Wind," Young seemed to do as much talking as he did playing and singing. After a cover of Gordon Ligthfoot's "Early Morning Rain," Young moved into some original material with "Old Man" and "Heart of Gold."
Acknowledging the cover theme, Young commented on the song selection, saying that he was playing some of his favorite covers, and fittingly went into one of his favorites, Tim Hardin's "Reason to Believe" which included a lengthy speech about the current state of farming. Exiting the stage after one the more interesting sets, Young received a warm response from the sold out crowd.
Closing Farm Aid 2013 as he always does, Willie Nelson didn't stray too far away from his bread and butter. But after all these years, he has little reason to do so. The gem of Willie's set came when he invited his son Lukas up to perform a cover of Pearl Jam's "Just Breathe." Willie and Lukas recorded the song for Nelson's recent album Heroes. The finale, which included all performers, capped the evening in fine fashion.

I use IPSEC VPN from behind NAT boxes of several different varieties and
vendors without any special rules or configuration. The box just needs to
support IPSEC passthrough and most do these days. Just use the IPSEC
connections with the safenet client (or something else if you can configure
it) and you'll be set.

Subject: [m0n0wall] PPTP Vulnerabilities
Hello everyone,
I recently set up a computer lab for a group of system administrators (of
which I am one of them). One of the requirements was to be able to remotely
acces the lab using a VPN solution. I decided to use m0n0wall because of
it's robustness, support for 802.1q, and vpn capabilities.
Since my colleagues will be connecting to the lab from behind NAT boxes
(linksys and such), I read that IPSEC would not work; so PPTP was the only
other choice. I also favored this choice because no additional software
(client side) was required.
Yesterday, one of my colleagues sent me these two links.
Here is an excerpt from the first link:
>The security of PPTP has been entirely broken and PPTP installations
should be retired or upgraded to another VPN technology. The ASLEAP utility
can quickly recover passwords from PPTP sessions and decrypt PPTP VPN
traffic. PPTP attacks cannot be detected by the client or by the server
because the exploit is passive.The failure of PPTP as a VPN protocol is
caused by cryptographic design errors in the Cisco LEAP and Microsoft
MSCHAP-v2 handshake protocols, and by key length limitations in MPPE. Both
LEAP and MSCHAP-v2 derive session keys from user passwords, which are
cryptographically weak.
I knew PPTP wasn't the most secure of VPN solutions but these links got me
I am not a security expert so I'm not sure how to interpret these articles.
Is m0n0wall impacted by this?

Believe it or not, this week (June 24-30) is National Pollinator Week. There have been events going on throughout the country designed to encourage appreciation of the vital and monumental job that pollinators perform moving tiny bits of pollen from one flower to the next--a thankless task that they happily do, and oh by the way, if they stopped doing it our entire ecosystem would basically shut down. If nothing else, the current problem with Colony Collapse Disorder, which is decimating the honeybee population, should serve as a reminder not to take these guys for granted.
As part of the pollinator lovefest, the U.S. Postal Service is unveiling a new stamp dedicated to the best-known (and perhaps the cutest) pollinators. Bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds are a given, and I suppose it was nice of the USPS to include bats, which, however useful they may be, do creep some people out. But where is the recognition for the less lovable, but no less hard-working pollinators? Where's the stamp commemorating the hard work of slugs, snails, ants, flies, and beetles? So here's to the unsung heroes--the creepy-crawlies, the flying annoyances, the slimy little bastards who keep our gardens pollinated. Everyone, raise your glass!

Simply fetch Michael's (good) document at:
There is an example (on page 8) which shows you exactly what you need:

5. Amitabh Bacchan
Living life creatively, lively and in an artistic way is Big B's forte. He is a man of changing styles. Born on 11th October 1942, he is known as the original "angry young man". This image has won him a number of film awards and the list includes National Award and 14 Filmfare awards too.
He is one of the highest nominated actors of the times. His charismatic presence charms all. Until date, he is ruling the Bollywood. He has endorsed many products that has earned him huge income along with name and fame.

Bollywood stars can earn so much because their fans do not show any reservations when it comes to adulation. What makes these actors so adorable? Why people are so mesmerized by them? Well, it is hard to find an answer for the same because the answers would be as countless as the number of fans of these Bollywood stars.

The planner of an exhibit honouring Alex Colville says the Amherst area greatly influenced the iconic Canadian artist.
TORONTO – Amherst and the neighbouring marshes had a long-lasting impact on Alex Colville during his formative years, says the planner of an exhibit of his work launching in late August at the Art Gallery of Ontario.
Shiralee Hudson-Hill, who is planning the exhibition that runs from Aug. 23 to January 2015, said Colville, who died last year, looked back fondly at his formative years in Amherst and the town and the surrounding Tantramar Marsh influenced his work a great deal.
"A deep sense of place was critical to the way he approached his work and many of his most recognizable paintings were inspired by his surroundings," Hudson-Hill said. "He talked a lot about his years in Amherst. It was very formative."
Born in Toronto, Colville moved to Amherst at age nine and lived in the Bent Cottage on East Victoria Street.
"When he arrived in Amherst he said it was like a whole new world. His father worked for Robb Engineering, which was owned by Dominion Bridge. He spent a lot of time going there after school," said Hudson-Hill, who studied at Mount Allison University. "The landscape around Amherst and on the marsh between Amherst and Sackville really influenced him."
Some of Colville's most recognized works including Horse and Train and Horse and Church were local scenes. There were also iconic paintings of Sackville.
"These are iconic scenes of Canadiana," she said. "Many Canadians grew up in an urban setting, but many also grew up in rural communities like Amherst and Sackville."
Hudson-Hill said Colville contracted pneumonia as a child in Amherst and almost died. During his recovery he started drawing and in 1934 attended his first art class in Amherst, taught by Sarah Hart – a member of the fine arts faculty at Mount Allison.
She said Stanley Royal from Mount Allison steered Colville toward studying fine arts at Mount Allison when he was considering going to Dalhousie to study toward a law degree at the time.
"This was a wacky idea at the time to study art. At the time, he was one of two or three men in his class," she said. "Alex was very practical. He asked if he'd be poor and unhappy and Royal said he didn't think so."
The exhibit will feature more than 100 works from private and public collections across the country. She said there will be a lot of Colville's work that people don't get to see very often.
Colville was 92 when he died last July in Wolfville from a heart condition.
"His work resonated deeply with Nova Scotians, Canadians and also internationally," she said. "It's hard sometimes in a very Canadian way to toot our own home. Here is one of our own, one of the greatest painters of the 20th century and it's time for a big retrospective. The last one was 13 years ago."
Hudson-Hill said the exhibit will not only celebrate Colville's birthday of Aug. 24, but also the first anniversary of his passing last July. She said his death was a huge loss to the artistic community. The art gallery had been thinking of doing a Colville show for quite some time and the museum's new Canadian art curator, Andrew Hunter, suggested pulling the exhibit together.
But instead of taking three to five years to plan and put an exhibit in place, the gallery took just one year to acquire the pieces for the exhibit.
People will be able to see the virtual exhibit beginning Aug. 23 at www.welcometocolville.ca .

Class A does sound better!
Dear Pass Labs DIY's,
Two months ago I started a thread with the following subject: "Why Class A? Wasting power is something of the past "
Some people reacted a bit upset because they thought I was attacking Nelson Pass's designs and thereby himself. Others thought I was mere ignorant, lacking knowledge or just argumenting for the sake of it. Let's say I could have been more cautious more subtle in my approach.
I operate a Levinson ML-3 (Class AB2 amp) on a set of Acoustat 2 + 2. Recently I bought a pair of Levinson ML-2 Class Amplifiers for the resell. I hooked them up to establish if they work. You'll allready guessed it they outclassed the ML-3 in every parameter except for earbleeding soundpressure of course. I'm very familiar with the beautiful debut of Damien Rice O, (Song 'The blower's daughter' in the movie 'Closer') and the sound really purified with the ML-2 and not by a small margin.
The ML-2 is a complementary design biased for 25 Watts/8 Ohm and it consumes 400 Watts when idling. The design (completely modular) is originally from John Curl I believe (designated JC-3) but finalized by Thomas Colangelo. Mine are now almost 30 years old and a regulator card in one of the ML-2's (AP1) has a big black burning spot behind the three 10 Ohm parallel configurated rushin current limiting resistors. On that PCB there is a DC trimmer and I can't turn down DC-offset more then 35 mV with it because it's at the end of the turningcapability.
Three of the four Elmwood thermalsensors on the outputmodules (2 X NPN 2n5886, 2 X PNP 5884) were removed.
So I keep the ML-3 at hand because I'm not sure how long the ML-2's will operate properly.
So with ML gear my question/argument is answered. Yess Class A is worth it.
I have to make a apolagy to you (G. Rollins especially) for my stuborness.
A friend of mine was in search of a new amplifier. I advised him to listen to a Pass X-350.5 and X1 pre-amp. He bought the preamp allready and is waiting for a X-250 or 350.
Hope you forgive me all

Not a problem.
Yes, class A is a nuisance in the summer, but in the winter it's actually more efficient in this way: You'd be generating that heat anyway, just to keep your home warm, right? At least this way the energy is put to use twice, once creating music, then as heat to keep you warm.

The one and only
John Curl frequents the Solid State forum, and you might be
able to obtain needed information from him regarding service
issues on the ML-2.

If you want to undertake repairs yourself, the schematics for the ML-2 are available at www.marklev.com, but be aware that the site seems to be offline a lot these days. If at first you don't succeed, try again an hour later.

What i don't get is that the ML-2 sound significant better then the ML-3 but you keep the ML-3 ?? please repair the ML-2 !!!
And the X 350.5 is only class A for small amount of power. Go for the XA's

Thanks for your replies.
I had the Schematics and servicemanual.
I intend to keep the ML-3 for reserve and when I want to play Sacre du Printemps from igor Stravinsky at a more realistic level then the ML-2's can offer.
The ML-2's are playing though as I concipate this entry so they're not broke yet.
Maybe I can substitute the old ST 2N5884/5886 tandem with a fresh sets of MJ21195/96 and the old oneturn DC, bias and regulator voltage 1K trimmers with new multiturn Spectrol or Bourns ones.
I'm intrested who with Levinson came up in the mid seventies (first ML-2's were delivered in August 1977) to built such a modular power-amplifier. To my knowledge the Audio PC Card was never updated though as like in the no. 20 series (20.5 & 20.6). But the concept seems pretty ok/forward thinking in those times and maybe for a servicing standpoint the modular construction comes in handy.
Greetings to you all

It's been my experience that circuits built with a modular philosophy are always touted as something done for the customer "so the amplifier/preamp/etc. can be updated forever." The truth of the matter is that the vast majority of these circuits have about the same product lifespan as their non-modular cousins. Once the circuit is discontinued, no further updates are to be expected. So why do they do it? To make service easier. Not that there's anything wrong with making service easier, mind you, but it is a bit disingenuous to claim that it was done with the customer in mind.
Note that Audio Research (by way of comparison) does have an ongoing update program for just about everything they've ever produced, but to my knowledge they've never produced modular plug-and-play boards like Levinson did with the ML-2. Sure would make their lives easier if they would. On the other hand, given what ARC charges for their updates, I imagine it's a non-trivial addition to their bottom line to have all the updates done the hard way.
I always wanted to own a JC-2 and a pair of ML-2s. Time has passed and I'm fully aware that the phono stage in the JC-2 was flawed and that there are better ways of doing things. Nonetheless, if I ever win the lottery, don't be surprised if I snag a could of old ML units off of ebay. Some dreams die hard.

Modular construction
You're probably right there.
To my knowledge there was no official update program with the ML-2 as with the no. 20, although the boards do differ over time.
Probably the same is through for the preamps of that era. I also have two LNC-2 crossovers with potted modules inside. Both units have startup problems with their PLS-151 outboard powersupplies and when the fault is in the potted modules of the main unit you which you can't repair them or buy a new one your practically lost. So there's a con for this kind of modular construction, if there potted you can't repair those old items on component level. Later incarnations of the LNC-2 and the successors of the ML1 and 6 the ML-7 and ML-6a used openframe L-modules which can be repaired.
Nice to here your enthousiasm for these old audio products.
Hope you win the lottery or snag a couple of dead dead one s which you, and I've no doubt about that considering the projects you're involved with here, can repair and upgrade them.

I have been upgrading the ML-2's for years. The first place to start with any Class A amp is the filter capacitors. GE and Cornell Dubilier have a 120,000 uf/50V capacitor that I use for the main caps and a 15,000 uf/50V for the rails. The original caps dry up due to time and heat. Replace all the caps on the audio and power supply plug-in modules especially the tantalums. I use the MIT multicaps in the audio board. Replacing the bridge rectifier with a new one or fast recovery bridge also helps.
There are many other things - better output jacks, etc but with these changes, this amp will hold it's own against many amps out there. The bass is better defined, midrange and top end is smoother and more detailed.
I have six of these and the open frame LNC-2 crossover you mentioned used with either a ML-7A or 26S. I have been using these amps since new in 1976. Many speakers, etc have come and gone but I still love these amps.

are these the caps fitted as standard to a 25W amplifier?
+-120mF per channel or shared over two channels?

Charles Hamilton to List J Dilla as Producer on Album
Young Harlem rapper Charles Hamilton, who we featured as a Top Prospect last year, has raised the ire of yet another element of the hip-hop community, by naming the late, great producer/rapper J Dilla as executive producer of his forthcoming album.
Although Hamilton never met Dilla, he believes the revered artist guided him in recording his album 'The Perfect Life,' saying, "I believe in the paranormal. My thing is there was a certain sound I was looking for and hoping for, and dare I say most people can believe me if they want to, but post life, J Dilla guided me through the mastering process."
Hamilton also stated that, out of gratitude for what Dilla's spirit brought to his album, he will be donating a percentage of the proceeds to the producer's family.
"I know Ma Dukes Yancey has been suffering financially for some time," Hamilton explained. "And helping give finances to the Yancey Estate… now the relationship that I have is irrelevant because most people haven't given a dime, because if they have she wouldn't be in the position she's in."
The young Sonic the Hedgehog enthusiast has angered many with his antics, whether attempting to battle (and then losing to) veteran MC's Rhymefest and Sirius Jones, or insulting his assistant/ex-girlfriend (and getting duffed in the chin for it). This time , however, he has upset friends of Dilla's and members of the Detroit community who might not take his shenanigans so lightly.
"I like Charles a lot," said Detroit rapper Royce da 5'9″ in a recent interview about the debacle. "I think he definitely is still at that age where he just says things, and that's where he needs to grow out of just saying stuff. I don't think a lot of people understand Detroit is a whole other world and we don't like you talking about our people and the people that are enforcing these things are n—– that will kill you. So you know I got that situation under control. I know who to call to make sure that nothing serious will happen to him, but he's definitely playing with fire. Know what I'm saying. Dilla and Proof n—— are very really sensitive about those two deaths."
Charles Hamilton's 'The Perfect Life' will be in stores on June 23, according to the eccentric young MC.

ANKARA, Turkey (AP) — Turkish authorities say Fethullah Gulen, the Muslim cleric living in the Poconos , will lose his Turkish citizenship if he fails to return to Turkey within three months.
In a decision printed in the Official Gazette on Monday, the Interior Ministry named Gulen, who is blamed by authorities for last year's coup, among 130 people wanted by authorities and who risk being stripped of their citizenship unless they return.
The group also includes two legislators from Turkey's pro-Kurdish party, Faysal Sariyildiz and Tugba Hezer, who face terrorism-related charges in Turkey and are believed to be in Europe.
They face a possible loss of benefits if they are...

The Austrians came out to Metallica's "Enter Sandman." But dressed in black, Team Canada didn't need hardcore music to come across as intimidating Friday night.
There was a definite Darth Vader feel to the Canadians, who could have rivalled the New Zealand rugby team for being all black had it not been for the red band and white Canada across their chests.
The black jersey even has black maple leaves etched around the neck.
Captain Sidney Crosby was one of many Canadian players to give the uniforms a thumbs up.
"Yeah, I don't remember wearing black too often but they're nice," Crosby said after Canada's 6-0 win at the Olympic hockey tournament. "I didn't really expect to wear black today when we came into the room. It's a nice jersey."
"I think it's my favourite, actually," added defenceman Drew Doughty. "I really like this uniform. It just looks cool."
"I like the jersey," echoed goaltender Roberto Luongo. "It's my favourite one."
As home team, the Canadians had the choice of light or dark uniform colour. They chose dark, opting for the black over the red they wore as the home team against Norway. The other option is white.
The Nike jerseys for the Olympic and Paralympics are shared by the men's, women's and sledge hockey teams.
Nike says the jerseys are inspired by "the iconic designs of vintage Canadian jerseys," and are 15 per cent lighter than the 2010 hockey jersey.
Inside each jersey collar, there are 12 gold maple leaves to represent Hockey Canada's total Olympic and Paralympic gold medals: eight in men's hockey, three in women's and one in sledge.
The black jersey also features gold piping on the badges and gold leaves on the shoulders.
The Canadians are designated as the away team Sunday against Finland so they may not be back in black.Report Typo/Error

A pregnant teenager who caused rush-hour mayhem when she ran along railway tracks in an attempt to dodge her fare has narrowly avoided jail.
Elesha Proud-Miles, 18, from Wandsworth, was almost killed by a Victoria Line train as she ran across the tracks at Finsbury Park Station on August 6.
The teenager who was three months pregnant at the time, was trying to escape police when she leapt from the platform and into a tunnel, according to British Transport Police (BTP).
She was stopped by police and charged with trespassing on the railway, assaulting a designated person and causing an obstruction following the incident.
Proud-Miles, who had been told she could face jail when she admitted the charges at Westminster Magistrates' Court in October, was sentenced at Blackfriars Crown Court on November 8 to eight months imprisonment suspended for two years.
A British Transport Police (BTP) spokeswoman said: "She is also subject to a three-month curfew and is banned from travelling on trains in London and on the London Underground for three months."

On my office wall is a poster from a bygone era, and a bygone company. I don't pretend to agree with everything here, but I like the tone of it. Also, any company whose motto was "No French Horns" deserves to live forever.
The text of the poster follows. I'm off to Europe for a couple weeks, though I'll be checking e-mail regularly.
Tools != Talent
Does equipment establish the elite? How much 'having' do you have to
have? Does it ever bother you that industries have grown up by
preying on your dreams? Remember, if you just have one more pretty
processor, one more piece of software, one more gearhead gizmo, you'd
finally finish the CD, write the hit, get somewhere. Silicon Valley
beckons with the promise of technology you can eat, but in fact when
you buy that technology, they are the ones who are eating. And you
buy more and more.
OCS stands for breaking the cycle of consumption. We are a small
group of music industry refugees, tired of business infighting,
corporate greed, and pursuit of the 'next big thing'. For a while we
forgot that creation reuires hard drive, not hard drives. But in 1988
we remembered. OSC makes cheap macintosh digital audio software that
you can use to finish real things (CDs, albums, videos, films). We
also publish 'non-emulative' CD-ROM sound collections. We weathered
the front lines of the digital audio revolution, but the revolution
is over and now is time for everyone to have their turn. Not just
those with $50,000 of disposable income. Large corporations have
controlled our entertainment industry for many decades. By
controlling the means of production and distribution, these companies
have retained absolute control over content. This era must now come
to an end. The means of production are now within the reach of the
common person, so defy those who would tell you how and what to
create. Take your ideas, and make them real. OSC is committed to
making it possible for all persons to control their creative destiny,
and to produce works of competitive quality. We ay "buy the minimum
and let the idea fuel the fire." And we back this up by providing
super-affordable tools for making this possible. We are not venture
capitalized, we do not plan to 'go public',' in fact we do this
because it means something to us. We make things only when we want
those things. We use things only when we need those things.
OSC Says:
Tools are NOT talent
Money != Success
Integrity cannot be bought
Consume the minimum, produce the maximum
Talk is a poor substitute for action
Create yourself before someone else does
Don't do what people tell you to do
Trust your heart
Confront and document
Believe nothing
Finish things and give them to people
