Nathaniel Kunkel - His Studio Without Walls Does Have the UAD-1 and UAD-2
I met Nathaniel Kunkel several years ago at an audio conference and was impressed by how self assured and outspoken he was for his young age. He's been depending on UAD-1 for years, so he couldn't wait to try UAD-2 with his Pro Tools rig. In fact, he couldn't even wait for the official Pro Tools support offered in the forthcoming UAD 5.2 software release, due in mid-December. Like a few other die-hard UAD/Pro Tools users, he learned that UAD-2 is already completely stable for mixing within limited Pro Tools settings [the buffer must be set to 1024 and RTAS buffers should = 6 –Ed.] Nathaniel is a hell of a nice guy, with a lot to say.
I wanted to talk about your childhood and your background, because it's so interesting. You're father's a famous musician ...
My dad is Russ Kunkel, who's a drummer, and a producer as well. And my mother is Leah Kunkel, who is a singer and a songwriter. My dad performed with people like James Taylor and Linda Ronstadt, and Jimmy Buffet —
Crosby, Stills and Nash?
Crosby, Stills and Nash. Bill Withers — the list goes on and on. I'll be listening to music once in a while, and I'll look at a record credit and go, "Man, my dad played on this? I had no idea my dad played on this." Just amazing. He played on so many things. I was really inundated with music my entire life. There was always music being played in the house. I used to go to my dad's shows and go out on the road. I was on the stage for a lot of the stuff, and I got to hang out in the recording studios and fall asleep under the console. I was just always around this.
You told me you were on the Jackson Browne Running on Empty tour.
Yeah, I was. I remember being out on that tour as well. Being at Tanglewood where all those photographs were taken, and all of that.
As a little kid, did you want to be a musician?
As a little kid I was really interested in doing lights. There was a guy named Alan Owen who used to work for Showco, God rest his soul. He was really cool, really sweet to me when I was on the road, and I thought what he did was really cool. Obviously the younger you are, the more impressive flashing lights are. [Laughs.] Audio is maybe a little bit more of a sophisticated version of that for me. So initially I was interested in lighting, and then I met George Massenburg when I was between 13 and 15, something like that. I remember watching him — walking in the studio and watching him work, and thinking, "My goodness, this is something I really want to do. I could really do this, I love this." I became really interested in audio at that moment. George was actually the person that really got me into it at the very beginning. Then it became a passion that was just insatiable for me.
Did you apprentice with him?
Yes, I did. I ended up working with him for almost a decade.
"The thing that I feel no one's really talking about is that this [the UAD-2] is a paradigm shift."
How old were you when you started?
I was in high school. I was spending my summers in Los Angeles working at The Complex for Greg Ladanyi and George Massenburg. I wasn't specifically working for George at the time. I was really more working for the recording studio. I didn't work for George until after I graduated from high school, and I had left The Complex. I was working for Jackson Browne at the time — Ed Wong, who was Jackson Browne's chief engineer, gave me a gig at Jackson's studio Groove Masters. They were really instrumental in my mentoring as well. Jackson is just one of the greatest people in the world, and Ed Wong is a wonderful human being as well as a brilliant engineer. So working there, I learned a lot from them. In the middle of my second year or so working for Jackson, I got a call from George, who was at Skywalker Ranch working on a Little Feat record. He was in need of an assistant, and asked me if I wanted the job. So I went to Skywalker Ranch, and we did a Little Feat record, it was called Representing the Mambo. That was the beginning of — I guess it was almost a ten-year working relationship. I worked with George and Peter Asher kind of exclusively for several years. It wasn't until Lyle Lovett's I Love Everybody that I really recorded solo, away from George. That was the beginning of my solo career.
I remember at a surround conference, where you were arguing with George on a panel —
I always do that.
I was so surprised. I learned afterwards that he had been somewhat of a mentor to you, so I was surprised that you argued with him. But I find your self-confidence really amazing. Were you always like that, even when you were a teenager, or is it something that has developed?
It evolved. That was a product of George being both a brilliant teacher and of a differing opinion. George is without question — in addition to being one of my greatest friends — one of the most brilliant human beings I've ever met. When we worked together, he really demanded that I didn't come to him until I was absolutely sure of what I was talking about or what my question was. So if I come to him, and I'm absolutely sure of what I'm talking about, and I really think he's wrong, now what do I do? Right? All that's left to do is to hash it out until you get to the bottom of it. He demanded it.
Obviously, if you were present at the surround conference, you know that it's all with love. It's also our love of engineering, and the requirement that we ask every question that there is to be asked. You have to ask every question, or you haven't really done your job as an engineer. As a real — in the classical sense — engineer. It's up to us to figure out how to make the sound better. George invented the parametric equalizer because he did not agree that existing designs were sufficient. Talk about asking every question …
He really taught me how to listen, how to think, and how to qualify what my opinion is. To really understand the mechanics of what made up the sounds; what made the sounds be things that we liked, what made the sounds be things that we didn't like, and how what we liked changed, depending on what type of music you were working on or what your objective was. He also really taught me how to decipher, how to figure things out.
It sounds like your education was much better than anything you could have got at a recording school.
There's no question about it. I also feel very lucky because it was the end of an era in terms of the time spent on a record project. We really got to spend time listening, and learning. There just isn't that kind of time anymore. It's also not as much of a team. When there were larger mechanical infrastructures to manipulate during the record-making process, you really needed to have a high level of technical conversancy with your crew. That has really evaporated as you're looking at one guy sitting in front of a terminal running a console and the computer and effects and blah, blah, blah. There's nothing to document. There's no more required synergy from the engineering staff on a project. Often there is synergy, but it's not as required as it used to be. It used to be you couldn't pull a record off without it.
I feel very fortunate that I was involved in the end of that time period where that was the only way to make a record. All the records I made at the beginning of my career were — I guess laborious [laughs] is really the best word for it. But in a lot of ways, that's how you learn. It's listening to George EQ a vocal for five years. You hear him push up a fader, you hear him EQ it, and you hear him do that over and over and over and over again, and sooner or later — it isn't about studying it for one day. It isn't about documenting it that one time. It's about feeling the way that that occurs over time, then assimilating it. I don't know how you would assimilate that same type of listening skill and troubleshooting skill in the context of an audio environment with the current business models the way they are. There just isn't the time.
Can we assume that you learned on tape, splicing tape, and analog outboard gear?
At what point did you embrace digital technology?
I embraced digital technology from the very beginning, because I was working for George Massenburg. The first time I walked into a studio with George, he was running a Mitsubishi X850. We knew how to use analog, we dealt with analog, I knew how to align analog, I had worked on many analog projects in a row, but digital was something that we were conversant with — or at least I was conversant with.
Tell me the concept behind Studio Without Walls.
I think the most important thing when you're creating music with an artist is the environment that the artist is in when they're creating. Studio Without Walls is about being able to bring the studio to whatever environment you want.
What's your setup, and how do you make it transportable?
Everything is in racks. It's not much different from what the back line of a concert would be. It's a bunch of 22-space racks with multipin interconnects, and L5-20 power connectors, a power distribution box, road cases, trunks, and speaker boxes.
What kind of gear are you running?
One of the recording systems is based around Pro Tools. I have the large Pro Tools system, with a couple of UAD cards and an expansion chassis. A Lynx Aurora converter, a Brainstorm DCD 8 clock. I've also got some outboard gear. Some GML microphone preamplifiers and compressors, TC Electronics M6000. Lots of JBL monitoring. I have a Digidesign Icon mixing surface. I also have another 22-space rack that has a Tascam X48, and a bunch of Mackie Onyx 800R mic pre/converters in it. I'll use that when I'm doing location recordings if my footprint needs to be really, really small. So the concept of Studio Without Walls is flexibility. Technically, it's all about flexibility. If you go back to the main idea of it — which is bring the studio to the artist, wherever they want to be — sometimes they need a complete recording studio. Sometimes that requires an Icon, 48 channels of microphone preamplifier and headphone systems for ten musicians, and everything you could ever possibly need. And sometimes it means bringing a Digi 002 and a laptop up to their studio apartment in Malibu, because they want to cut vocals looking out their bedroom window. So it really is all about flexibility. The connectors, the patch bays and the entire architecture of the studio are designed around being extremely scalable.
What are some of the most significant projects you've worked on recently?
We recorded The Police at Dodger Stadium. We recorded and mixed Diana Ross' last record. Mixed Lyle Lovett's last three albums. We did a location recording and mix for a Sting DVD that won an Emmy for outstanding sound mixing. The last B.B. King album. Lots of stuff. I have been really lucky to have the chance of working with such amazing artists.
Do you have a home studio really tricked out for mixing? Do you prefer to mix there?
I have yet to find a room that I set up in a home of mine, or in a home of someone else's, that I can't dial in to be just diggin' mixing in. I love mixing in my environment. With the JBL LSR speakers, my gear, and my own power and wiring infrastructure — I can pretty much mix anywhere. Obviously, mixing in a 6 x 5 room is not optimum. But if I have some reasonable square footage, and a fairly tight room, yeah, I really love mixing in my own facility.
Do you use commercial studios?
Yeah. I love commercial studios.
What are your favorites?
If I had budgets, I'd be at Conway, or Ocean Way, 24/7. I think Jon Brion is the luckiest guy in the world. Don't get me wrong, I love mixing at home, but gosh, to be in a major recording facility — that's all I'm aspiring to build. To have a chief engineer like Bruce Marian working in your room every day? My God. Where do I sign? I'd give anything for that. But my problem is, I just don't have those kinds of budgets any more. They're just not there.
Very few people do.
The reason I have such a nice home studio, and why I really worked on it so much, was because I just couldn't afford commercial studios, and I appreciate them so much. So when I decided to build one, it was portable, because I couldn't afford to build a real studio in the house I was renting. It didn't make sense. But I could afford to start trying to trick out my rig; and then all of a sudden, I owned Studio Without Walls. I wish I could say that there was this grandiose idea — that I was like, "Oh, I know what I'm going to do. I'm going to do it all like this, and I'm going to have identical racks," and so on. It was just one of those things where I started doing it because I was moving from studio to studio. I turned around one day and went, "Hey, man, this is kind of a portable studio. All I need is a console."
Let's get real geeky now and talk about the UAD-2 and the UAD-1, your plug-ins and how you've used them, and what you think.
I have to be honest. I don't think the important thing I have to say has anything to do with any particular plug-in, or any particular benefit of the UAD-2 — other than the lower latency, and excess of DSP, which you guys espouse so eloquently already. The thing that I feel no one's really talking about is that this is a paradigm shift. For the first time ever, people are standing up and saying, "These plug-ins sound better or different than the plug-ins that are inside my Pro Tools system." And that's something a lot of us have been saying for a while: These plug-ins have a sound to them.
Now, I'm not trying to slight Pro Tools. I love Digidesign. There are HTDM plug-ins that I have that I could not live without — and I'm not speaking only of Massenburg's equalizer and compressor. There are other brilliant plug-ins. The hardware architecture is solid. I love my console. But there are some things that it does not do well. There are some things that every particular system does not do well. An SSL 9000J does not sound good when you drive the buss at +20. You theoretically can, but it just doesn't sound right. There are things that you do with Pro Tools that just don't sound right. So, for the first time, there's a way for us to work within the framework of the Pro Tools DAW and have an option for the way that we're manipulating our audio with DSP. Being able to use the UAD cards, whether it's the UAD-1 or the UAD-2, you really, really do hear a difference. There is a difference in the quality of the sound when you go through these plug-ins.
Can we talk about specific plug-ins?
Yeah. The Fairchild, the 1073, the 1081, the SPL Transient Designer … I'm a really basic person in terms of what I use when I'm mixing. It's like, "God, I really wish I had a little midrange bump that I get on a 1073." I'm not a super-freaky Neve aficionado. I love 33609s on horns, so if I'm mixing stuff in with a horn buss on it, I use a 33609. The deal is, when I use a UAD plug-in, it sounds more like what I expect it to sound like. When I add mid range to a guitar with the 1073 plug-in, it does exactly what a regular 1073 does. It's awesome. I can just make a guitar grind.
A lot of people have problems with the latency stuff. Can we talk specifically about that, and about really using it in the Pro Tools rig, and the new card?
I've run up against my latency limit, but I didn't run out. And I don't usually use more than one or two plug-ins on a channel. I also don't do a lot of soft synths. I really mix very old school. I open it up, I EQ a couple of things. I go to a UAD plug the same way I would go to an outboard Fairchild for real. It's like, "OK, I got two Fairchilds." Maybe that's wrong, but I still have that mentality. I'm very sparing with my equipment. I try and do as little as possible.
That's probably why your stuff sounds so good — you're not over-producing.
Maybe I'm a bit too much of a purist to tax the system. If I open up 15 or 20 equalizers — I think that's a lot of EQ. [Laughs.]
Have you been following the Metallica story?
The general public is complaining that their new album is "too loud." It turns out it's ultra-ultra compressed. Some are even saying there's digital clipping. The story even hit Rolling Stone and The Wall Street Journal. The mastering engineer, Ted Jensen, at Sterling Sound in New York, came out and said, "It wasn't me. It came to me that way." It's been a big story in the recording and mastering world, but I found it really interesting that a mastering story hit The Wall Street Journal.
Well, you know, we've been saying it for a really, really long time.
Then what happened was that stems were given to Guitar Hero, the game —
Let me guess…that were more dynamic.
Right. So users have been remixing, or using those stems, and prefer the way the video game sounds to the album. [Laughs.]
Wow! Well, you know, maybe the public isn't so silly.
I know. We always think, "Oh, they don't care what it sounds like. They're happy with MP3s." But maybe they do care what it sounds like.
Of course they care what it sounds like. I've certainly been mixing with a lot less compression. It just seems better.
I still have vinyl, and we'll get out our vinyl and listen to older stuff … most of it just sounds so good.
Doesn't it?
Do you curse the fact that you have this EM column to write every month, or is it easy for you because you have so much to say?
I love it. But I don't take it lightly either. Even when it's a light-hearted article, I take it fairly seriously. I want it to be entertaining and hopefully educational. If someone's going to take the time to read it, I want them to get something out of it — even if it's just a good time. So I worry about it a lot; I pine over it. That makes it a little bit hard sometimes because I really will rake myself over the coals. But at the same time, I love it, because once a month it really does make me take a couple of days to sit down and think about what's going on, what it means, and what parts of it I think would be important to share with other people. The articles are usually veiled — and sometimes very thinly so — diary entries. They're often entwined in exactly what's going on for me. They are therefore about a subject that I'm thinking about in such depth that it's easy for me to spell out a couple of thoughts and ideas about it. So in that respect its been wonderful for me. I am certainly planning on continuing until they ask me to go.

The security work that you've described sounds great, and I hope that other PHP app upstreams hold their apps to such a high standard. If not, maybe you can use your tools to start filing bugs left and right against them. (-:
For that reason, I will review your packaging when it's ready, and sponsor it into Debian if it passes muster. Keep me posted.

Well, the new school year is fully underway, and all the things that resume in September have resumed. Soccer, band, homework; packing lunches, packing backpacks, packing it in too late and getting up too early. I'm piecing a schedule together though and even regular sleep should resume before long. Unconstrained over the summer, I got into a 1:00 AM - 9:00 AM pattern that Has. To. Stop.
And it shall. Just as soon as I finish this blog post.
One of the activities I've resumed this year, though I arguably have less time for it than ever, is volunteering in the school library. We volunteers check books in and out, reshelve the ones that come back, and help the kiddos find what they're looking for.
This week I was there for a class of kindergarteners. It was their first week in their new school, and their first day in the library. They were awesome. They chose books and lined up. I readied the bar code scanner to check out their books, and we got going. "Hello, it's nice to see you!" I'd say. "Can you tell me your last name please?"
Well, no, actually, several couldn't. But they all told me their middle names in case that would help.
The kids with older siblings at school already are much more confident, as you'd expect. They march right up to the desk. "I'm Emily. You probably know my brother, Scott?" Hee! No, I don't. But I'm glad to know you, Emily.
One boy told me his name was Isaac, and I checked his books out. Then he showed up again with different books and said he was named Caleb. I was so confused, and a bit frustrated, because he insisted his name was Caleb even though he had moments ago told me it was Isaac. You see where this is going, even though I didn't: Identical twins, with identical haircuts, dressed identically. I had to apologize to Caleb when I figured out there really was an Isaac. Neither of them had mentioned a brother! And I thought, um, parents? Identical twins in the same class and you give them identical haircuts and dress them identically in the first week of school? That is some sense of humor at work there. But it worked out. I will figure out a clue, or their teacher will give me a hint, how to distinguish them. Or I'll guess, and be right half the time.
My favorite kid so far is the little girl who strode up to the desk with a pile of dinosaur books in her arms. She plopped them down. "Phew! Hi! I'm Shannon! I'm going to be a paleontologist when I grow up!" A little voice chimed in from the back of the line: "She knows all about dinosaurs already. She's going to be a great paleontologist." Excellent. Some of my favorite people are paleontologists, and it makes me happy to see newly self-declared ones.
So I am reminded that I love volunteering in the library, even though I don't have time for it.
Now if I could only fix my bedtime problem...

Five Things to Know
- The University of Notre Dame Baseball team plays its final in-season tournament this weekend, hosting the USA Baseball-Irish Classic in Cary, North Carolina. The tournament takes place at the USA Baseball National Training Complex, with the Irish taking on Maryland, UMass Lowell, Rhode Island and Monmouth. NC State, Dayton and William & Mary round out the field. Notre Dame is hosting the event for the fifth time in the past six seasons, with the lone exception being 2015 when the event was cancelled due to inclement weather. The Irish have an all-time mark of 10-5 at the USA Baseball-Irish Classic.
- Senior co-captain Kyle Fiala led the Irish in a 7-6 loss to San Diego State in the club's most recent game. Fiala was 4-for-5 with an inside-the-park home run to cap a five-run seventh inning which gave the Irish the lead. He became the first Notre Dame player to make the 360-foot sprint for a score since Cavan Biggio on February 18, 2016, at Santa Clara in the season-opener. Prior to Biggio, the last Irish player with an inside-the-park home run was David Mills at West Virginia in 2008.
- The Irish have a history with two of the teams they will face on the diamond this weekend. Notre Dame and Maryland have only met for a three-game series during Notre Dame's first year in the ACC, which was Maryland's last before joining the Big Ten. Notre Dame and UMasss Lowell have never met. Note Dame does have one former player who hails from Lowell, Massachusettes, in Jack Cambell who had a 10-7 record as a southpaw from 1947-49. The Irish and Rhody met at the 2013 USA Baseball-Irish Classic, a 4-3 Rams victory. Notre Dame and Monmouth have never met, but Irish pitching coach Chuck Ristano held the same role with the Hawks for four seasons, helping Monmouth to Northeast Conference titles and NCAA Regional bids in 2007 and 2009. Notre Dame did play the Monmouth College in Illinois twice, winning games at Monmouth in 1902 and 1907.
Maryland – All-time series: 3-0 Maryland (Last: 5/4/2014, 3-2 UMD at Maryland)
UMass Lowell – First Meeting
Rhode Island – All-time series: 1-0 Rhode Island (Last: 3/3/2013, 4-3 URI at Cary, NC)
Monmouth (NJ) – First Meeting
- No Irish players hail from North Carolina, however, there are a few who have an opportunity to defeat a team from home. Peter Solomon is a Maryland native. Three Irish players hail from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts – Shane Combs (Wellesley), Jack Connolly (Raynham) and Scott Tully (Reading), while another five are from New Jersey in Brandon Bielak (Sayerville), Eric and Michael Feliz (Engelwood Cliffs), Evy Ruibal (Millburn) and Jack Sheehan (Brielle). The Irish roster has no players from the nation's smallest state with the longest name, Rhode Island.
- All three Irish pitchers featured in the D1Baseball Top 100 College Prospects are slated to start for Mik Aoki's club this weekend. Brandon Bielak (No. 82) will throw on Friday against Maryland, Peter Solomon (No. 16) will take on UMass Lowell on Saturday and Brad Bass (No. 96) gets the ball on Sunday versus Monmouth.

Prostate Cancer Care in NYC – State-of-the-Art Treatment Options Including Robotic Surgery
If you have any questions, to schedule a consultation or if you need a second opinion, please contact us or call: 646-663-5515
Dr. Alex Shteynshlyuger is a board-certified urologist in NYC who specializes in treating men for prostate cancer.
When it comes to treatment of prostate cancer – New York Urology Specialists are a step ahead. We deliver optimal treatment to the right patients.
What is Prostate Cancer? What Do I Need to Know?
Prostate carcinoma, as prostate cancer is known, affects many men. In fact, it affects 1 in 7 men.
We are pleased to provide world-class care for prostate cancer for men in New York as well as those visiting from other places. We offer the second opinion for prostate cancer for men who want to know their options and to discuss their care with a fellowship-trained urologic oncologist.
Have you been told that you have prostate cancer?
When in need of a second opinion for all stages of prostate cancer, top physicians refer to New York Urology Specialists. We treat not only localized prostate cancer but also advanced and metastatic disease. We specialize in the treatment of high-risk prostate cancer.
#1: Among the Top Urologists in NYC.
We are proud of our reputation for treatment of all stages of prostate cancer. We offer active surveillance, radiation therapy, brachytherapy as well as the robotic prostatectomy.
In the name of science, we would rather talk about results. Better science, more patients treated using the latest prostate cancer treatment standards mean better results for YOU. We deliver one patient at a time. We offer prostate biopsies, hormonal therapy, XGEVA, PROVENGE, XOFIGO, Zytiga and many other innovative treatment options.
#2: Among the Top Physicians in NYC for Treatment of Prostate Cancer and Treatment of Complications of Prostate Cancer Treatment.
We also treat some of the most difficult to treat complications that sometimes occur after treatment for prostate cancer. These include bleeding or hematuria after prostate radiation (radiation cystitis), urinary incontinence and erectile dysfunction among other issues that we treat.
Prostate Cancer Diagnosis, Treatment, and Prevention
Prostate Cancer Specialists offer proven prostate cancer treatment in New York to patients from NYC, Brooklyn, Queens and Surrounding Areas including Long Island, Westchester, and Northern New Jersey.
Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men. In the New York City metropolitan area alone over 50,000 men are living with prostate cancer. Each year more than 12,000 men are newly diagnosed with prostate cancer in the New York metropolitan area. Close to 1500 men die from prostate cancer in New York City and surrounding areas and more than 38,000 die nationwide.
New York Urology Specialists are committed to providing the most advanced treatment options for men with prostate cancer. We treat men with advanced, late-stage metastatic disease (mHRPC) or PSA recurrence. Optimal treatment for prostate cancer with modern therapies promises improved chances at cure and survival in men with prostate cancer.
As specialists who are fellowship trained in urologic oncology we routinely treat men with prostate cancer. We offer treatments that have been scientifically proven to work and approved by the FDA. We offer access to most promising clinical trials available nationwide including such places as the NCI (National Cancer Institute), Mayo Clinic.
Elevated PSA: Innovative Tests help with better decisions.
Elevated PSA is a frequent and concerning test finding in men. Because the PSA test is not very specific for prostate cancer and can be elevated as a result of many other causes, elevated PSA frequently causes a significant amount of anxiety and uncertainty. Many men are subjected to prostate biopsy with as many as 70-80% of men not having prostate cancer.
Innovative tests now available at New York Urology Specialists include the Prostate Health Index test which provides better sensitivity and specificity for prostate cancer detection. The PHI test allows us to stratify men with elevated PSA into those who are at higher risk and those who are at lower risk for prostate cancer. This test is most valuable for men with PSA under 10.
The 4KScore is another important prostate cancer test now available at New York Urology Specialists. The 4KScore test is used in men with elevated PSA or as a replacement for PSA to predict which men are likely to have high-risk prostate cancer. A combination of 4KScore and the PHI test provides valuable additional information not available with other tests such as the PSA test or PCA3 test.
Comprehensive Care for All Stages of Prostate Cancer
We offer comprehensive care for all stages of prostate cancer. Whether you are newly diagnosed with localized prostate cancer and considering various options that may include active surveillance, robotic prostatectomy or radiation treatment, we can help. If you have PSA recurrence after treatment or have been diagnosed with metastatic disease, we can help with treatment of advanced disease using most modern treatment options.
Not Just Technicians – We Specialize in Surgical and Medical Treatment of Prostate Cancer
While there are many options for the treatment of prostate cancer, it has become a field where technicians offer their skills without a comprehensive approach. One technician will do your surgery; another offers you chemotherapy or radiation. Dr. Alex Shteynshlyuger is proud to be one of the few physician-scientists who offers a comprehensive approach to caring for men with prostate cancer.
If you have any questions, to schedule a consultation or if you need a second opinion, please contact us or call: 646-663-5515

The mismatch repair (MMR) system is necessary for the maintenance of genomic stability. The primary role of MMR is to correct errors such as base/base mismatches and small insertions/deletions that arise during DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) synthesis. Loss of functional MMR results in increased rates of point mutations and microsatellite instability. Post‐replicative MMR is strand‐specific and serves mutation avoidance. Outside replication, discrimination between old and newly synthesised DNA strands is no longer necessary, and the MMR system can be mutagenic. Such non‐canonical actions of MMR are required, for example, for the generation of immunoglobulin diversity. The anti‐mutator and mutator activities of MMR play important roles in human diseases. Notably, germline mutations in MMR genes cause predisposition to Lynch syndrome, whereas epigenetic inactivation of the MMR gene MLH1 underlies 15% of sporadic colorectal and other cancers.
Key Concepts
- Post‐replicative mismatch repair can counteract or promote mutations.
- DNA mismatch repair genes are conserved in evolution.
- DNA mismatch repair genes comply with Knudson's two‐hit paradigm for tumour suppressor genes.
- Deficient DNA mismatch repair is responsible for microsatellite instability in tumours.
- Inherited defects in DNA mismatch repair underlie Lynch syndrome, a dominant predisposition to colorectal, endometrial and other cancers.
Keywords: DNA mismatch repair; Lynch syndrome; hereditary nonpolyposis colon cancer; microsatellite instability; MutL; MutS; MLH1; MSH2; MSH6; PMS2

My First 10K
Click on image to see movie.
For some reason this vlog entry went online immediately. Wow. That has never happened to me before.
Not only was this run really exciting for me, but Josh has peaked my interest in geocaching. It's pretty much EXACTLY what I like to do...scavenger/treasure hunts!
So now I want to save up and get a GPS.
If you're interested in doing what I've been doing - basically going from 0 to 10K in 10 weeks, download this clinic (it's a one-page pdf):
The first few weeks were the hardest but as you see yourself improve it becomes worth it.
A bit of background:
About the running thing.
I was the kid who could only run a few feet before my chest hurt, my throat filled with mucus and I had to walk the rest of the way. Turned out I had asthma which was mostly sports induced.
Always the last to finish any sort of distance running. Always shying away from anything that involved running because I knew I couldn't do it.
Then I got hit by a car at 12 and broke 15 bones in my hands and left leg combined. I never really recovered from that and I think that if I had been sporty prior to the accident, I could have used sports to recover. Instead I gained weight, became even more of a bookworm/computer nerd and just accepted that I could never jump, run or do anything which necessitated agility.
The punk/queer/high school world didn't require any athletic ability, nor did living in montreal for 3 years. The first year I lived in montreal was my fittest - i biked everywhere - but once I moved to the plateau and got into the simpsons it was couch potato/chain smoking history.
In Victoria i could have joined the world of the fitness-prone but somehow my big old car and my jobs with kids kept me strapped into a commuting mentality - to the point that I even drove to the corner store! Sometimes I am ashamed of how much I drove when I could have biked or walked in that town.
My last year in Victoria I joined a recreational softball team, i learned a bit more about a game I'd always loved if not fully understood strategically. In the end I won "Most Improved Player" and that was true - I had learned how to improve. How to love feeling like I was building some skill in a sport.
Since moving to Toronto, I have flirted with working out, biking around, generally trying to take advantage of the fact that my body learns quickly. But I never really pushed anything cardio or something high-impact like running. Until I quit my restaurant job. For two and a half years I was in a chain-smoking, drinking every night fog and when I finally pushed out, I pushed out big time.
See, I never thought that I would live to be 30. Seriously. Not because there was any hint of something that would happen, but just because I couldn't picture the future with me in it. My mom says that a lot of kids who experience childhood trauma have this same experience. So with 30 appraching I think I started to see that there was something bigger than me. That whole "your body is a temple" stuff was really starting to make sense.
So I quit my job, quit smoking, started biking every morning at the gym across the street that costs 10$ a year to join, and I worked my heart and my lungs. The benefits were astounding - everything was clearer, I felt clean and stong, sex was better and life felt worth living. Working out was addictive and I couldn't believe I hadn't done this sooner.
I got a dog last summer and that also brought me into more walking and getting outside.
When I started this running clinic eleven weeks ago I did it for a lot of reasons. I wanted to be able to run - I have always dreamed about running most likely because it was something I could never do. My moms run and I thought it could be a nice family thing for us to have. It's good excercise for my dog, in less time than walking. I saw a role-model of mine running in HIgh Park one day and I thought "If I learn to run, I can run with her!". I wanted to lose some weight and feel fitter. Also I like to have goals - so I thought, I will learn to run and I will do the Lois Lane Run that happens at Michigan every summer.
There are many other reasons, but this is the start.
So anyway. That's the background to where I am today. I completed my first 10K organized race and I signed up for the Toronto Marathon's Half Marathong (21K) for October 16th.
gotta go to work now.

HI Lukas,
This is Susanne from the video blogging course you taught. Great job on it by the way. Thank you.
It was nice to learn a little more about you here, see what you're up to. It sounds great. I hope you stick with it. I just busted my knee but am also looking forward to getting more fit. Your blog helps build that excitement up for me too.
Weird thing with the video, the page said it loaded but all I saw was a blank screen with just the play and volume bar. Could be my old imac, who knows.
Hope you're well. Keep on truckin.

Synopsis for "Nightmares and Memories"Edit
Simon wakes up at Neal Saroyan's condo after having a nightmare about Mephisto. He wonders if he's messing with his head again. He's also concerned that the dream involved Lotus, who is responsible for much of the trouble in his past life. Neal arrives with some posters, and wants to line Simon up with some work. Simon isn't interested. He is there on a purpose and that doesn't include self-promotion. He thinks about his ex-fiancé, Alex Flores, and Neal mentions that she's remarried. Simon and Hank decide to visit her at the home she shares with her husband, Felix Simon. Their meeting is amicable and they both realize how much they've both lost. However, times change and, at this moment, they are being spied upon by Bob O'Bryan, the husband of Diane Cummings, who is reporting his findings to Lotus. Simon excuses himself as he has things to do downtown, so he and Hank head towards the courthouse. En route, they are attacked by Armed Response, but they defeat them with some ease. Later, at the courthouse, Simon tries to hand himself in to the police for two deaths he feels responsible for. The cops are having none of it, and Simon flies off to find somewhere he can think. At his own grave, Hank finds him again and has with him two people who help put Simon on the right track again; assuring him that he isn't responsible for either of those deaths. Feeling better, Simon joins Hank at a charity function, where he notices Lotus amongst the crowd. As he pumps her for some answers, she takes control of Bob O'Bryan and, in an alleyway nearby, a monster wakes. The twenty-foot stone giant comes crashing through the wall. The Colossus lives again.

So there is a lot I'm happy about today: 1. I have kicked my cold and made it out the house after 3 days attached to Netflix; 2. the sun has blessed us with its presence and 3. I finally bought a new lens for my camera and it's making me feel like a total pro.
Not to be big headed or anything but how much better do these photos look now that I've got the 50mm lens?! That is the reasoning behind the photo overload on this post. I just couldn't narrow it down, I love them all. The photos have come out so perfectly first time, which I'm definitely putting down to this new lens. No offence Andy, but you ain't that good! 🙂

As the MLS season approaches, MLSsoccer.com marks each passing day with a different statistic, observation or talking point, setting the stage for March 2.
23 – David Beckham's iconic LA Galaxy number
It seems so long ago now, when David Beckham took on his new jersey number upon arrival at Real Madrid. He was paying tribute to Michael Jordan and perhaps – in retrospect – showing just a flash of the Amerophilia that would later help draw him to the United States.
Or maybe it was just that his preferred No. 7 was already being worn by merengues legend Raúl. Either way, it worked.
Becks took that No. 23 with him to Los Angeles and made it his MLS calling card, of course, and it will live on long after his picturesque departure thanks to those six-plus years of superhuman jersey sales figures. Pressed onto the Galaxy's gleaming white home kit, the digits drew billions of eyes to a young and growing league and aligned it with one of the strongest personal brands in human history.
While his actual game didn't prove quite as dominant on the field as some expected, he and his club figured things out eventually, in storybook fashion, no less. And the league now faces the unenviable task of replacing the star power, the elusive cool, the jet-set je ne sais quoi of Goldenballs and all he represents.
Or maybe not. Who knows if any Designated Player signing will ever make the seismic global impact that Galaxy boss Tim Leiweke's stunning 2007 capture did? Red Bulls striker Thierry Henry certainly came close – and he could yet become a championship hero and club icon himself. And both men may have fundamentally changed the equation just by arriving on these shores, and making MLS an acceptable destination for megastars.
Perhaps the whole model has changed even more fundamentally, and "young DPs" like new D.C. United striker Rafael are the standard-bearers of the future. Club and league bean counters would certainly rather sell stars to Europe than buy them from there.
Casual fans, whose fickle attention prompted MLS observers to begin employing the term "moving the needle," don't quite get that concept yet. But maybe their growing sophistication about the world player market will someday prove to be DB23's most useful American legacy.

Does MLS really need to replace David Beckham? Let us know what you think in the comments section below!

Regional Development Ministry announces it will amend proposed Building Act
The Ministry for Regional Development will amend its proposal for a new Building Act, Minister Klára Dostálova told Czech Television on Monday after a meeting with the head of the Association of Towns and Districts. The decision comes after heavy criticism from the association, which primarily represents regional officials, as well as remarks from courts which studied the proposed legislation.
The ministry says it now intends to cut down on the level of centralisation it originally envisaged. Local building authorities at the district level will be preserved, while public works and large construction programmes will be decided on the state level.
Latest News
State of pandemic means Czech schools have to remain closed, says health minister10/27/2020
Czech schools will not reopen at the beginning of next week, Health Minister Roman Prymula announced on Tuesday. This despite an earlier promise that primary schools would definitely re-open from November 2. He said that the government will decide on when it plans to reopen schools after reviewing data towards the end of this week.
Both the opposition and the current Minister of Education Robert Plaga have cticisised the delay, saying that it is necessary to provide information on when schools will reopen now.
Czech schools, including primary education facilities, have been closed in the Czech Republic since October 14, due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, which is regularly reaching new height in terms of infections and numbers of hospitalised. Classes are currently being taught via distance learning.
Government proposes extending state of emergency to December 310/27/2020
The Czech government will propose that the current state of emergency be extended until December 3, Prime Minister Andrej Babiš announced on Tuesday. The proposal will have to be approved by the Chamber of Deputies, which is set to discuss the issue on Friday morning.
The prime minister said that the extension was necessary to keep the several emergency measures, that have been put in place to curb the spread of COVID-19, in place.
The Czech Republic has been in a state of emergency since October 5. It is currently among the most affected countries in Europe by the pandemic.
Care home residents to receive fast coronavirus tests, says labour minister10/27/2020
Czech social services have successfully tested the use of antigenic COVID-19 tests (sometimes also referred to as fast coronavirus tests), Labour and Social Affairs Minister Jana Maláčová announced on Tuesday. The tests are to be used for wide-range testing of senior citizens in social facilities, such as pensioner homes.
Antigenic tests take around 15 minutes to provide a result. However, they are also less reliable than standard testing. According to Minister of Health Roman Prymula, the tests will be used in social facilities such as pensioner homes, because they will be able to indicate the level of spread faster than normal PCR testing. The second, more reliable wave of tests would then follow.
Hundreds of police to be deployed during October 28 protests against coronavirus measures10/27/2020
Hundreds of police officers are set to be deployed to monitor demonstrations in the centre of Prague, planned on the occasion of the creation of the independent Czechoslovak state on October 28. Protests and associated events are planned on the Náměstí Republiky square, on Old Town Square and in the area of Klárov. Their primary goal is to protest against the ongoing government measures that restrict movement and have closed most shops and restaurants to curb the spread of COVID-19.
A previous protest against coronavirus measures, which took place less than two weeks ago, ended in a violent clash between protestors and the police. However, Prague Municipal Police spokesman Jan Daněk has said that the local police force does not expect this to happen on Wednesday.
Adam Sandler to star in adaptation of Spaceman in Bohemia book10/27/2020
The popular American comedy director Adam Sandler has signed a contract to play the main role in an upcoming Netflix movie based on Czech writer Jaroslav Kalfař's 2017 book Spaceman of Bohemia. The film is set to be directed by Emmy Award winning Swedish director Johan Renck, with the screenplay being written by Colby Day.

The Government has announced a surplus nearly twice what was in the Treasury's Budge 2018 surplus – this is good news for spending plans or debt reduction, but may also increase demands from state servants seeking large pay rises.
This gives the Government an opportunity to make some bold moves on things like child poverty, prisoner rehabilitation to reduce prison numbers, reducing violence, addressing drug abuse and related problems, and climate change.
Government books show surplus, falling net debt
A strong surplus and falling net debt reflect a growing economy and show the Coalition Government is managing the books responsibly, Finance Minister Grant Robertson says.
The Crown financial statements for the year to 30 June 2018 are the first official check in on the Government's commitment to run surpluses, pay down net debt and keep expenses under control.
"It's important we run surpluses and pay down debt to make sure we are in a good position to deal with any rainy day. Economists have been warning about growing risks in the international economy, particularly due to rising trade protectionism, which we need to be well-placed to face in case this flows through to the New Zealand economy," Grant Robertson said.
"The headline results today are ahead of the Treasury's forecasts in Budget 2018. This was largely due to timing issues with Crown expenses, which will reverse out as that planned spending occurs early in the 2018/19 year. This means Budget 2018 spending and investment plans are on track.
"The books show we are meeting the Budget Responsibility Rules. A headline $5.5 billion surplus operating balance before gains and losses (OBEGAL) is $2.4 billion above the Treasury's Budget 2018 forecast.
"A number of factors contributed to this result being ahead of Budget 2018 expectations. A number of one-offs led to core Crown expenses coming in 1.4 percent below forecast at 30 June 2018. The Treasury says that this was largely due to timing issues, meaning much of this variance is set to reverse out in the 2018/19 accounts. Core Crown expenses were stable at 27.9 percent of GDP.
"A strong economy contributed to core Crown tax revenue coming in 0.9 percent higher than expected in the year to 30 June 2018. Corporate tax revenue was up, due to profits for both large and small businesses being higher than the Treasury had forecast at Budget 2018. This result indicates the strength of the growing economy.
"This underlying strength of New Zealand businesses saw the number of people in employment rise by 3.7 percent over the year, while average wages rose 3 percent. These numbers show that our economic fundamentals are strong.
"The financial statements also indicate the Coalition Government's commitment to making the important infrastructure investments New Zealand needs to unlock the growth potential of our cities and regions. At the same time, we are making up for neglected investment in critical public services in recent years.
"Net capital investment of $5.9 billion in the year was the highest since 2009 and an increase of $2.2 billion from the previous year. This included investments in hospitals, schools and state highways, while also reflecting the Coalition Government's move to resume contributions to the NZ Super Fund.
"We are committed to a balanced approach by adopting a responsible debt reduction track. At 30 June 2018, net core Crown debt was 19.9 percent of GDP, compared to the 20.8 percent forecast in Budget 2018.
"We remain committed to the Budget Responsibility Rule that net debt will be 20 percent of GDP in 2021/22. This gives us the space required to make the critical infrastructure investments that New Zealand needs, while still building a buffer," Grant Robertson said.

Arsenal boss Unai Emery: We need to show our supporters we are excited for the Europa League
PUBLISHED: 15:49 21 September 2018
PA Wire/PA Images
Arsenal boss Unai Emery wants to draw fans back to the Emirates for Europa League matches after a low turnout for the Gunners' 4-2 victory over FC Vorskla Poltava.
The Emirates was littered with empty seats as Arsenal romped to a 4-0 lead over the Ukranians, before fans trickled down the exits in the final 15-minutes as Vorskla grabbed two late consolations.
However, the competition's joint most successful manager - lifting the cup three times with Sevilla - is determined to convince Gunners fans that Thursday night games are worth their time.
Speaking after the game, Emery said: "We need to show our supporters we are excited for this competition.
"We want to go a great way in this Europa League.
"It's step by step, I am sure more are going to come little by little.
"It's our job to bring them here."
Arsenal's next European night in North London will see the Gunners host Sporting Lisbon, after travelling to Qarabag FK and the Portuguese capital in Group E.

Challenges in Retail
Store Performance
There has never been a greater need for a retailer to ensure a best-in-class shopping experience in the retail store by maintaining high levels of customer service, and a differentiated assortment, while meeting financial targets. The key aspects to creating and maintaining a competitive retail store presence are timely and accurate store performance analytics, and quick assembly of a flexible store profit and loss statement. The challenge is that store performance data is typically stored in many heterogeneous systems, produced in different geographies and required at many different granularities – store level, district, region, and corporate. This often hinders efforts to produce insightful, accurate and actionable store performance analytics.
Retail Site Selection
Location matters, which is particularly true in the retail industry. Brick and-mortar retail is under pressure due to the rise of digital commerce, and the role of the physical store is transforming into more than just a sales channel. As a result, decisions made regarding retail site selection, development, and upgrading the existing store footprint are more important than ever. A myriad of factors like drive time, demographics, cannibalization, and lease terms impact retail site selection, while complex cost benefit analysis impact store upgrade and refacing decisions. The challenge is clear, the opportunity is to optimize the physical store footprint increasing sales and protecting profits.
Optimizing Omni-Channel
Retailers operate in a fiercely competitive environment where operational efficiency is a business prerequisite. The need to meet customer demand with relevant offers and a high quality shopping experience across channels, supported by an efficient and cost effective supply chain is complex. Data, product and information flows are many and varied across shopping channels and supply chain systems so getting intelligence and insights for a true omnichannel view of the business can be quite difficult.

Press Releases
Govt Documents Reveal Huge Support For South Okanagan National Park
BC government documents obtained by the Wilderness Committee reveal huge public support for a South Okanagan National Park
VANCOUVER, BC – The Wilderness Committee has recently obtained government information that suggests Victoria is downplaying overwhelming public support for the designation of a large national park reserve in the South Okanagan region of BC.
This directly contradicts the BC government's Consultation Summary Report that minimized both the level of support and interest in having all of the proposed protected areas within the national park reserve.
In the 5,000-page Freedom of Information (FOI) request, it was revealed that 92 per cent of the submissions to the BC government from individuals and 80.5 per cent of submissions from business, local government and other regional agencies were supportive of the Province's proposed strategy to protect areas in the South Okanagan. Over 70 per cent of the submissions from local communities also supported the BC government's strategy for more protection.
The FOI also revealed that majority of submissions recommended that Area 2 including Mount Kobau, which the Province had proposed be aside as a provincial conservancy, be included in the national park reserve.
"Why the BC government has chosen to suppress information that shows that the public overwhelmingly supports all areas, including Area 2 to be in the national park reserve is a mystery to us," said Joe Foy, National Campaign Director with the Wilderness Committee.
A national park reserve is expected to provide 772 new jobs locally, and $57 million in annual visitor spending in the region.
"In our opinion Victoria and local MLA Linda Larson need to pay more attention to feedback that came right from their own public consultation process – designation of a national park reserve with all the areas protected is good for democracy, for the environment and the economy too. It's time to make this highly popular dream of a national park reserve, into reality," said Foy.

The signature festival Cheung Chau Bun Festivalof HongKongwas celebrated amidst huge fanfare and excitement on 25 May 2015 and 26 May 2015. The two-day festival with more than 100 years of rich heritage witnessed Taoist ceremonies, Piu Sik Parade and an unique Bun Scrambling Competition.
Tagged as the most vibrant and colourful festival of HongKong, Cheung Chau Bun Festival featured K-Pop Starsby one of the Piu Sik Parade Teams, the first ever Ping On ( Lucky ) Macaron with Chinese tea favour is invented, and more to be found out on the island. To sum up Cheung Chao Festival is a depiction of age long cultural ethos.
It all started with a plague that devastated Cheung Chau in the late Qing dynasty (16441911). The islanders built an altar in front of the Pak Tai Temple and petitioned the god Pak Tai to drive off the evil spirits besieging the island, while parading statues of deities through the narrow lanes of their village. The plague ended after the performance of these Taoist rituals and 100 years later the rituals are still performed in a festival that is listed as an intangible part of Chinas cultural heritage.
Piu Sik Parade
The highlight of the festival is the Piu Sik (Floating Colours) Parade. This dramatic reenactment of the ceremonial parade held to drive away a plague a century ago sees young children, dressed in the guises of traditional deities and modern celebrities, balance on poles and accompanied by gongs and lion dancers, appearing to float above the crowds in a carnival-like procession.
Bun Scrambling Competition
Opposite the Pak Tai Temple, competitors stand poised at the bottom of an enormous bamboo tower studded with imitation buns. On the signal, they scramble up it and try to collect as many lucky buns as possible. The higher the buns, the more points they are worth

I am looking to change insurance policies for my engagement ring (currently on my homeowner's policy)
What insurance do you have for your engagement ring or other jewlery?
I am looking to change insurance policies for my engagement ring (currently on my homeowner's policy)
What insurance do you have for your engagement ring or other jewlery?
I don't have any! Except the like 'protection package' at the ring store. So pretty much a warranty. But I figure that the ring itself cost about $1700. Not cheap, but it's not like, a $10,000 ring or anything, and if something were to happen it wouldn't take a huge amount of time to save up and replace it. Paying monthly for something I'll likely never need just…I don't have the budget for that right now, anyways.
Ditto the above. I don't have insurance but I do have the warranty through the store we bought it from. We also paid about $1700 for it, so I figure the warranty is the best choice. So long as I get it inspected by them every 6 months, the warranty is valid and covers stone replacement if they fall out or get damaged, or prong replacements, etc.
I wish I could help! Mine is under my homeowner's policy as well. My ring wasn't wildly expensive, but it only cost a couple bucks a month to add it. Do you mind me asking why you're looking for another option? Have you noticed a disadvantage with the homeowner's policy?
mcp8011: When I added the ring to my policy, the policy nearly doubled.
I heard from some family members that there are insurance companies that specialize in jewelry and that the rates tend to be a lot less than homeowner/rental policies.
I have Perfect Circle. It covers worldwide loss, theft, damage, mysterious disappearance. It also allows you to work with the jeweler of your choice. Most times it is better to have a standalone jewelry policy, if you decide to check with homeowners read the fine print. Some are capped off a certain price and some do not cover certain things.
We have my engagement ring, my fi wb and his 2 rolex watches on our policy and it is very affordable for piece of mind. We will add my wb when i pick it out.
I also have perfect circle too!!! My Fiance and I looked for what seemed as the best insurance for the ring… And perfect circle just made sense. It's so easy too and it's not bad cost wise!
We also have the "insurance" from the jeweler that replaces any stones that may fall out or issues with the prongs, redipping and sizing (although I think the sizing was a one time deal).
I have perfect circle as well…..
my fiance insured mine as a rider to his renter's insurance through State Farm.
Also have perfect circle for my rings. I pay around $40/year for my wedding band and engagement ring. That's about 1% of their total worth.
I also have a rider on my insurance policy. I can't imagine a ring doubling a home owner's policy…that's crazy!
The topic 'What insurance do you have for your engagement ring?' is closed to new replies.
