BackgroundLoss of heterozygosity LOH on the long arm of chromosome 16 is one of the most frequent genetic events in solid tumors. Recently, the AT-motif binding factor 1 ATBF1-A gene, which has been assigned to chromosome 16q22.3-23.1, was identified as a plausible candidate for tumor suppression in solid tumors due to its functional inhibition of cell proliferation and high mutation rate in prostate cancer. We previously reported that a reduction in ATBF1-A mRNA levels correlated with a worse prognosis in breast cancer. However, the mechanisms regulating the reduction of ATBF1-A mRNA levels such as mutation, methylation in the promoter region, or deletion spanning the coding region have not been fully examined. In addition, few studies have analyzed LOH status at the ATBF1-A locus, located in the 16q22 minimal region.
MethodsProfiles of ATBF1-A mRNA levels that we previously reported for 127 cases were used. In this study, breast cancer specimens as well as autologous blood samples were screened for LOH using 6 polymorphic microsatellite markers spanning chromosome band 16q22. For mutational analysis, we selected 12 cases and analyzed selected spots in the ATBF1-A coding region at which mutations have been frequently reported in prostate cancer.
ResultsForty-three cases that yielded clear profiles of LOH status at both D16S3106 and D16S3018 microsatellites, nearest to the location of the ATBF1-A gene, were regarded as informative and were classified into two groups: LOH 22 cases and retention of heterozygosity 21 cases. Comparative assessment of the ATBF1-A mRNA levels according to LOH status at the ATBF1-A locus demonstrated no relationship between them. In the 12 cases screened for mutational analysis, there were no somatic mutations with amino acid substitution or frameshift; however, two germ line alterations with possible polymorphisms were observed.
ConclusionThese findings imply that ATBF1-A mRNA levels are regulated at the transcriptional stage, but not by genetic mechanisms, deletions LOH, or mutations.

"Churches do inspire awe, they are humbling, and are perhaps designed to make one feel small in the presence of God. The Panthéon has a similar effect but is devoted to an altogether humanist ideal: feeling awe in the presence of human greatness. Where a church belittles humankind in comparison to an abstract divinity, the Panthéon celebrates humanity: one inspires submission, the other emulation."

The Panthéon as a humanist monument
I felt a particularly strong hankering for Paris after reading this article by Kevin Dolgin at TheHumanist.com. After noting that Europe, and in particular France, are in many ways more congenial to humanists than the US, the article sketches the history of the Panthéon, France's secular monument to some of its greatest people, and describes its ambiance. I remember being moved as I walked through parts of the crypt, and this piece captures the feeling very well:

The Lake House
Jays Rating: C. I had one eye open.
Actors: Keanu Reeves / Sandra Bullock
If you have been waiting for a chick flick and aren't too picky about what you are seeing then you are probably safe to check out the romantic fantasy The Lake House. Keanu Reeves plays an architect and Sandra Bullock plays a doctor who moves into the same Lake House and begins to fall in Love. The problem is that one lives in 2004 and the other in 2006 and the only way they communicate is by a magic mailbox. Don't worry this film isn't as stupid as it sounds. In fact I'm conflicted about this tender romantic movie. I like that it takes chances with the story and the performances by Reeves and Bullock were what held the film together. On the down side they never explain how a mailbox has a time warp or what ever it is inside. Also, the middle of the movie flounders and there is no excitement or real passion. I would have solved those problems by having someone insert their hand, a firecracker or maybe a cat in the mailbox and watch the action when someone opens it 2 years in the past or future. This film could have and should have been better and I'm giving it a C rating.
This movie has been given a PG rating by the MPAA
Although I am blind, I can appreciate a good movie as well as sighted individuals.
I rely more on a good story line than special effects.

Meall an Tarsaid
Meall an Tarsaid, Stratherrick, Inverness-shire. Section 9B.
Height – 492 metres. Map – OS Landranger 34.
Climbed - 11 December 2011. Time taken – 1.25 hours.
Distance – 2.25 kilometres. Ascent – 210 metres.
Trip Report Details:
The Sub 2000 Marilyn, Meall an Tarsaid is located to the south of the hamlet of Whitebridge and east of the B862, the main route to the east of Loch Ness. Examining the map I couldn't see an obvious ascent route so I drove along the unclassified road to the west of Meall an Tarsaid and as far as the road end at Ardochy. However I failed to locate a suitable route, mainly due to a new deer fence which had been constructed along the east side of this road.
My next option was the road to Garragie, to the north of Meall an Tarsaid. Here again a new deer fence had been constructed but just before the end of the woods and the Allt Glaic Breabaig I spotted a gate in the deer fence and decided to use it to access the hill.
I parked at the edge of a nearby passing place and on returning to the gate found the surrounding ground to be wet and marshy. There was a wicket gate at the side which I used before following traces of a marshy vehicle track through the birch woods. These tracks soon led to open ground and to a small transmission line which probably fed electricity the houses in the glen. The tracks and marshy ground ended here to be replaced by long heather and a few boulders.
There were a few crags ahead so I aimed for the obvious gully to the south of the summit. This ascent was quite steep with a few snow patches but once up the gully I headed over to the summit cairn with views of the snow covered Monadhliath Mountains. Although this was supposedly Meall an Tarsaid's highest point the knoll to the north looked higher so I strolled over there. However I still couldn't decide. I found shelter from a cold breeze behind the cairn for lunch while looking down on Whitebridge and towards Glen Albyn. The return was by the ascent route.
I later ascertained that until a few years ago the north top was the highest point but the south top is now decreed to be the summit.

The Latest: Syrian activists say IS has seized Palmyra
- Image 1 of 2
- Image 2 of 2
BEIRUT – The Latest on the fight against the Islamic State group (all times local):
2:15 p.m.
Syrian opposition activists say the Islamic State group has regained control of the ancient town of Palmyra nine months after it was driven out by Russian-backed Syrian government forces.
The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights and the Palmyra Coordination group say IS militants fought their way into the town on Sunday, forcing government forces to retreat to the south.
Russia had earlier said that it helped Syrian troops repel an attack on the town by launching more than 60 airstrikes. IS has been advancing on the town in recent days, capturing areas on its outskirts at a time when Syrian forces are focused on driving rebels out of the northern city of Aleppo.
Russia says its air force has helped Syrian troops repulse an Islamic State attack on the historic town of Palmyra.
The Russian Defense Ministry said Sunday that it carried out 64 airstrikes overnight that killed 300 IS militants and destroyed the extremists' vehicles and artillery.
Palmyra is home to towering 2,000-year-old ruins and was a major tourist attraction before the civil war broke out in 2011. IS seized the town last year and held it for 10 months before being driven out by Russian-backed Syrian forces in March.
The militants have advanced on Palmyra in recent days, with reports of heavy fighting within the town itself. Syria's army has been largely focused on the northern city of Aleppo, where it is waging a major offensive against Syrian rebels.

In a matter of hours after our girls' arrival, I walked in to our cabin alone to find...ONE CHILD-SIZED MUDDY FOOTPRINT ON MY BED!!

Phoenix 2019 - April 8th-11thMore Info
Release Date: Tuesday, February 14, 2017
Absa Vehicle Finance is now running their MultiValue application on an entirely Microsoft platform. Partnering with ONgroup Africa, they used the MVON# toolset for the changeover from UniVerse to .NET for the application run machine. Absa also selected SQL Server as the DBMS. Now that the application is running in production on a Microsoft platform, Absa is ready to roll out functionality for both developers and end-users that is available as a by-product of relocating the application.
"MVON# situates sites in a highly reliable and feature-rich platform that is pervasive in the industry. Absa was a good fit for our toolset, because the application is mission critical," said Alan Williams, Managing Partner at ONgroup Africa. "It would have been expensive and unnecessary to rewrite their custom software. They were able to retain their application logic while aligning their production IT platforms with current industry best practices. They can now start taking advantage of the features, functionality, and scalability inherent in the new platform."
Bernie Jardim, IT Manager for Absa Vehicle Management Solutions, indicated that "using MVON# to decouple our application from the DBMS and run our application on a Microsoft platform has had both planned benefits for us and some unexpected ones. Our team is energized while feeling both well-supported and self-sufficient in managing a performant, scalable, and secure environment for our users. We are able to do this without losing the software features that help facilitate our success. We have the added benefit of licensing the source code, so our colleagues at ONgroup Africa have helped us avoid the risks of being locked into a MultiValue-only vendor."

If you've been blogging for a while, you know how difficult it can be to come up with blog topics from time to time. Whether it be a case of writer's block or simply not having the time to come up with blog post ideas the issue of blog topic ideas can be a difficult one to balance at times, which is why having an editorial calendar can really come in handy. While it can be a challenge, I have found that there are blog topics hiding in many places, you just have to be creative about where to look. This list is not exhaustive, by any means, but meant to get those creative juices flowing.
Search the Web
Whether you're a well-seasoned blogger, or just starting a blog I believe one of the best places to look for blog topics is the internet. There is a wealth of information available, just keep your blog's niche in mind when searching. Are you a personal finance blogger? Then major finance sites or news sites might be a good place to start. Likewise if you're a lifestyle blogger then entertainment or special interest sites could be a great source of blog topic ideas. Don't limit it to non-blog sites though. Did you read something on your favorite blog recently that gave you an idea for a different angle, or something the author didn't cover? If you did, then you could be well on your way to coming up with a blog post.
Ask Your Readers
Unless your blog is simply meant as an online journal, you're likely wanting to bring readers back – this is especially the case if you're looking to make money blogging. An easy way to get blog topics is simply by asking your readers. This can be as simple as asking them in a poll, or at the end of a blog post. If you're running a series on a specific topic you can ask them throughout the series what they'd like to see. This allows you to tailor the posts more towards them and potentially increase interaction on following posts. Seeing as traffic can be the lifeblood for most blogs, tailoring content to your readers is a great way to bring them back and hopefully grow your audience over time.
Look at Older Posts for Blog Topics
One of the best sources for blog topics is under our own noses – our own blogs! If you've been blogging for some time, it's likely you have dozens, if not hundreds of blog posts already written. A great way to find blog topics is to go back and look at some of those old blog posts. Did someone leave a comment that can be addressed, or is there new information available that you could address in a separate post? By taking some time and perusing your archives you could easily come up with several new blog topic ideas and never have to leave your own site.
Do you ever struggle to come up with blog topics? What's your go-to way to overcome blog-topic-block?

Pinzón, Martín Alonso(redirected from Martin Alonzo Pinzon)
Pinzón, Martín Alonso(märtēn` älōn`sō pēnthōn`) d.1493, Spanish navigator. The commander of the Pinta on Columbus's first voyage to the New World in 1492, he was already an experienced seaman and an influential citizen of Palos de la FronteraPalos de la Frontera
, town Huelva prov., SW Spain, in Andalusia, on the Tinto River near its mouth. From its port (now silted up), Columbus sailed on his first voyage of discovery (1492), returning and reembarking in 1493.
..... Click the link for more information. . The support given to Columbus by Pinzón and his brothers is not definitely known, but it was important to the eventual success of the expedition. For reasons that are not clear, he abandoned Columbus in the Antilles for more than six weeks and upon rejoining him was censured for treasonable conduct. On the return voyage his ship was separated from that of Columbus in a storm, but both reached Palos the same day, Mar. 15, 1493. He died soon afterward. His younger brother, Francisco Martín Pinzón, fl. 1492, was pilot of the Pinta. Another brother, Vicente Yáñez Pinzón, fl. 1492–1509, commanded the Niña on Columbus's expedition. When the Santa María was wrecked on the coast of Hispaniola, Vicente Pinzón took aboard Columbus, who finished the voyage in the Niña. In 1495, Pinzón received letters patent for an expedition, but it is unknown whether he made a voyage immediately. He commanded an expedition which sailed from Palos in Nov., 1499, reached the coast of Brazil (Jan., 1500), probably near its easternmost point, and explored the mouth of the Amazon River. In 1505 he was made governor of Puerto Rico, with permission to colonize the island. He explored (1508–9) the coasts of Yucatán, Honduras, and Venezuela with Juan Díaz de Solís.

Like the dirty street urchins who drive the plot, Newsies seemed destined to flame out and disappear. Disney's sprawling mess of a movie musical flopped at the box office, and critics gave it a nearly unanimous thumbs down. The notionally true story about orphaned newsboys unionizing and striking when media baron Joseph Pulitzer docks their pay one-tenth of a cent landed in theaters at a time when organized labor was weak, newspapers were slashing budgets, and, in spite of the fact that most people were working longer hours and for less pay, nobody in America seemed to be feeling nostalgic for labor unions. What could have possibly inspired investors to back a Broadway musical and tour built around a film that seemed to have failed so badly on every front?
- Shane Gutierrez
- Morgan Keene and Joey Barreiro
"It was the fans," says Joey Barreiro, who plays Jack Kelly, a role originated by a singing and dancing Christian Bale, six years before American Psycho launched the Batman star's journey to the dark side. "The fans demanded it. Newsies was the most fan-requested material to be turned into a Broadway musical."
Disney listened to the show's fans but proceeded with caution. Reviews of the musical were mixed, but a successful run at New Jersey's Paper Mill Playhouse opened the door to a limited Broadway run that performed well past its planned expiration date.
"People are attracted to stories that are true and relevant," Barreiro says. "We're always going to be rooting for the underdogs. You can guarantee that 100 percent of the time the audience is going to be rooting for for the characters who aren't rich and exploiting the people below them to win."

Clouds coming in to dominate data centre skyline
27 April 2018 | James Pearce
Data from the cloud will represent 95% of total data centre traffic by 2021, it is estimated, highlighting the importance of cloud service adoption in driving data centre demand and growth.
The figures were revealed as part of Cisco's seventh annual Global Cloud Index, which looks at data centre virtualisation and cloud computing, and how these have become fundamental elements in transforming how many business and consumer network services are delivered.
It is not just business applications that are driving cloud growth. Cisco's study found that consumer services such as video streaming, social networking, and internet search are among the most popular cloud applications in use. Key business drivers include enterprise resource planning, collaboration, and analytics.
In 2016, traditional data centre traffic was around 849 exabytes while cloud traffic was 6 zettabytes. The former is predicted to rise to 1.7ZB by 2021, while cloud services will treble to 18.9ZB – taking total data centre traffic to 20.6ZB.
Software-as-a-service (SaaS) will be the most popular cloud service model in 2021, Cisco predicts. The growth will see 199 million cloud workloads expand to 534 million cloud workloads, meaning around 94% of all workloads will be cloud-based by 2021. This would demonstrate a compound annual growth rate of 22% at a time when traditional data centre workloads are declining 5% a year.
• By 2021, 75% (402 million) of the total cloud workloads and compute instances will be SaaS workloads and compute instances, up from 71% (141 million) in 2016. (23% CAGR from 2016 to 2021).
• By 2021, 16% (85 million) of the total cloud workloads and compute instances will be IaaS workloads and compute instances, down from 21% (42 million) in 2016. (15% CAGR from 2016 to 2021).
• By 2021, 9% (46 million) of the total cloud workloads and compute instances will be PaaS workloads and compute instances, up from 8% (16 million) in 2016. (23% CAGR from 2016 to 2021).
In the past, security concerns have been a major barrier to cloud adoption, Cisco said. Improvements in data centre governance and data control have helped to minimise enterprise risk and better protect consumer information.
Security innovations coupled with tangible cloud computing benefits, including scalability and economies of scale, play key roles in fueling the cloud growth projected in the study.
Additionally, the growth of internet of things (IoT) applications such as smart cars, smart cities, connected health and digital utilities requires scalable computing and storage solutions to accommodate new and expanding data center demands.
By 2021, Cisco expects IoT connections to reach 13.7 billion, up from 5.8 billion in 2016.

A former community building in Amble is up for sale.
The Dovecote Centre closed its doors last summer after Northumberland County Council decided not to renew the lease from the Diocese of Newcastle.
The authority ran its Learning and Skills Service (Adult Learning) from the venue, while a number of groups were also based there.
News of its closure sparked concern in the community, with clamours to try to save it.
But last month, we reported that the Diocese was set to put the centre up for sale and refused Amble Town Council's call to reopen the site's car park in the mean time.
Now the property is available to buy and is being marketed by George F White.
Amble Mayor Jane Dargue said that she hoped that whoever purchases it will re-open the building for community use.

What is Bendall?
Commonly to abbreviated to a 'Bender' or a 'Bendernator' is an 80s dance move in which the performer demonstrates a triple front flip. Studies show that 89% of all professional dancers who attempt this move die in the process. It is often followed by the running man. The Bendall was named after its creator, Group Captain D Bendall (first name unknown), who mysteriously attended Scottish clubs and regularly performed this move.
Oh my god! He just pulled off a Bendall!

Robb Todd has played guitar since he was four years old. "Growing up in Los Angeles during the eighties was amazing. I enjoyed learning band production from Harry Haley at Haleys Lightning Sound in Pensacola, FL. I was fortunate to be a part of some truly great bands like Hippie Smack (in Columbus, GA) and The Rat Race (in Montgomery, AL)," says Robb. He has been the driving force behind Damn Skippy for over 20 years. He has in the past been endorsed by brands such as Warwick and Ampeg, and currently holds endorsements from Trace Elliot, DR Strings, and S&L Vapes. He always strives to align with great players to make himself a better player! Ultimately for Robb, being able to play well is only half of putting on a great show, and entertaining the crowd is also very important to him. His motto: Rock out with your cock out!
Stubbs started playing guitar at the age of 16. "'When I bought The Song Remains the Same live DVD and saw Jimmy Page play, I knew that was what I wanted to do with my life," he said. Before picking up the guitar, he was a trumpet player. He graduated from the Schwob School of Music in 2007, and now teaches for Muscogee County Schools and Gorilla Guitars in Columbus GA.
His main guitar influences are: Randy Rhoads, Dimebag Darrell, Zakk Wylde, Eddie Van Halen, Slash, & Jimi Hendrix just to name a few. Since joining Skippy, Stubbs has been introduced to Gibson, ESP, and Charvel Guitars, Peavey 6505, Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier, Shure Wireless, and a great group of friends.
Hawk has been singing his whole life. Rumor has it… he came out singing Enter Sandman to the doctor. Damn Skippy and Big Skinny are the two major bands with whom he has performed in his long and mysterious career. His unpredictability is what sets him apart from other singers!! If you saw him walking down the street, you might not recognize him from a show because he's very likely to be in full makeup on stage…and it's never the same show twice. He also has a unique tone that sets him apart from other singers.

It takes 3-4 weeks, on average, to make a new habit stick (and fortunately, the Internet is full of ways to help, including this awesome Lifehack post).
However you decide to proceed in making these new habits a permanent part of your routine, you'll be astounded at how much more meaningful and happy your life will be as a result of doing so.
Here are five things you can do weekly for a more meaningful, happier life:
1) Rid yourself of worries.
Are you finding yourself ruminating on something that you can't really do anything about? Is something bugging you that you can't address immediately? Is life creating some worries for you (or are you creating some worries in your life)?
Erma Bombeck was right when she opined that worrying is like a rocking chair: it gives you something to do, but it doesn't get you anywhere. Still, it's hard not to worry. It's even more difficult when you're deliberately trying not to worry. You know what can help, though? Writing down your worries…and then getting rid of them.
When you write down your worries you take away their power. You express them, and it's almost like giving them their own life force: they no longer have any power over you. You can set them free and walk away. And if they're really bugging you, perhaps do as this source suggests and tear them up and throw them away.
2) Give yourself something to look forward to.
Try to plan at least two fun activities in the evenings during the workweek so that you have something to look forward to throughout the workday. It's super-helpful and totally important to retain focus and determination during work, but that can make us feel too cerebral and attached to serious matters if we don't get some fun into our lives. Whether it's a special dinner with your significant other, playing fetch with Fido or planning an evening playing pool with friends, take time during the day to plan something fun that evening, and give yourself something to look forward to. Here are some ideas to start your planning.
3) Eat the same thing for breakfast or lunch, every day.
In a world where we are required to make hundreds of decisions every day, the amount of time we spend agonizing over what we eat is staggering. So for one meal every day, make it the same (balanced, healthy) meal every day. This can help in various ways: reducing decision fatigue, ensuring that part of your day will always include a healthy, balanced meal to keep you going, and knowing how many calories are going into your body from those foods every day can be incredibly stress-reducing. Check out the testimony of this world-class runner who eats the same thing for lunch every day, and check out your own diet to see if streamlining those options makes sense for you.
4) Shut off your phone for one day each week.
"Unplugging" is becoming as essential to our time management as "being plugged in" was during the dot-com boom. All kinds of information abounds, like this article and this article and this article and this one too, on the importance of unplugging. Unplugging is especially important in terms of reconnecting with yourself and your life's rhythms. Think that managing for a whole day without your phone is impossible? Then you most definitely need to give it a shot. I promise you, the world won't end while you're away from your digital device.
5) You are what you consume, so input articles and books that lead to more positivity into your life.
Choose books and articles, posts and op-eds based on what you want to improve. For example, if you want to better your time management, you might want to check out David Allen's "Getting Things Done" methodology (you can find a primer on this here). Doing so will enrich your life in a variety of helpful ways. Nobody is perfect, and pretty much anyone can identify areas they would like to improve. Take some time to consider how you want to live your best life, then find resources that will help you improve. Here's a great list of books to check out to encourage positivity in your life.

Cowl Obsession
I found a really easy knit/purl pattern for a cowl and have become obsessed with making them. This one was done with Homespun and is by far my favorite pattern and cowl that I've made. I was wearing it all the time until the weather got hot again. Ugh. Anyway I also made one in a berry color with Vanna's Choice but I made that one too big because of the difference in the texture of the yarn and so I may not wear that again and just consider it an experiment.
For a swap someone sent me a crochet cowl that I *LOVE* and so I thought I would go looking for a crochet pattern. I'm working on a really simple one now that's just single crochet one row and double crochet the next and then you join the short sides with a slip stitch. I'm doing it in grey Wool-Ease yarn. I had to change the pattern because I couldn't quite figure out what they meant about "short side" so I am making it such that I have the width and am working up to make the height. I also thought that would look better in terms of the pattern. When I finish it I will post a picture.
Yes, another fast and fun project to add to my collection of things to make!

have had the phone for almost three weeks and i'm fairly satisfied with it...it only hanged one time (i think because i had too many open applications)...wifi is fast even though it's only B...my only woe is that i cannot separate my songs inside the playlist folder by "playlist" (once i create a sub-folder inside the playlist folder the track is not being detected anymore...does anyone know how?
this phone is really an exceptional one! it's compact and has all the features i want in one package! i love this phone! thanx to Sony Ericsson!
seth, 14 Aug 2008to Revenant hi can you play WMA file on this phone? thanksYes you can play wma files on this phone.
Revenant, 13 Aug 2008Most of that seems to me like hardware problems, or possibly people skipping passed the touchs... moresorry forgot to indicate my name...
thanks for reply! =)
Anonymous, 13 Aug 2008hi revenant, i've just read a lot problems in this site... http://www.esato.com/board/view... moreMost of that seems to me like hardware problems, or possibly people skipping passed the touchscreen calibration during the initial setup. After that, it's all about making sure you're careful where you download 3rd party applications from, to minimise the chance of firmware corruption. If it's defective hardware - not much can be done to avoid that, but at least you'll get a warranty repair...
cholo, 13 Aug 2008hi revenant, got a question... this might be helpful to other guys who also plans to get a w9... moreChances are, you won't need to udate the software. Just remember, for every person who posts on here about a problem, how many are there out there who are having no problems? To be honest though, I'd reccommend updating anyway, after all, it is the latest version and if you've got a PC with internet connection, there's no real point in not updating...
hi revenant,
i've just read a lot problems in this site...
it got me thinking... hehehe
psp, 13 Aug 2008what is the thinking os SE to keep price that much high with lack of feuter like GPS,VGA cideo... moreTo be honest, yeah. If I were to see 2 similarly specced similarly priced devices from SE and Nokia, I'd choose the SE, based simply on the fact that it's an SE, because when I see their name on a product I trust that I'm going to get stability and user friendliness. Sure there are others out there, but have you ever tried to get to grips with those convoluted menu systems? Not that I'm pointing any fingers at Samsung or Motorola there, not at all...
hi revenant,
got a question... this might be helpful to other guys who also plans to get a w960i.
i'm kinda decided to get this phone but i'm not sure if i still need to update the software first before using it coz' it seems like other users are having problems related to its software like phone hanging or it is not software related and just might be defective hardware?
hope to hear from you!
also to other experienced users as well!
thanks! good day! =)
sean leach, 12 Aug 2008Ok, this question is aimed at any owners of this phone.
i currently have an N95 (the original... moreI'm with JohnsoN on this one. I got my W960 in Feb and it only restarted itself once during the first week. I usually have anywhere between 6.5 and 7.5 Gb and the file manager runs fine. One thing I have found is that my message inbox can be a little slow (2 to 3 seconds) to respond when it's really full, but I'm talking about having upwards of 500 messages in my inbox and the same in my sent items, so it's my fault for being too lazy to delete them I guess :)
On a seperate note, to the person who was complaining about the size of the phone - I have big man hands too. I find the easiest thing is, when using the touch screen, hold the phone left handed, resting the bottom on your pinky finger and ur middle finger suuporting the weight at the top on the back. This frees up your thumb to touch or use the wheel. Switch a standard grip to use the keypad...
Elcrocodilio, 13 Aug 2008Yow i still got the problem with my w850 when i open games or applications it says "operation ... moreHey dude, I know what you're talking about. I had the same problem with my track listings. I'm pretty sure it's to do with the ID3 tags. I'm lazy and never saw the problem as a major issue so I didn't do anything about it. I can understand why someone would get frustrated with it though. I'd download a tag editing program and just reset the tag info on all your tracks and that should sort it. Try www.getjar.com...
what is the thinking os SE to keep price that much high with lack of feuter like GPS,VGA cideo recording,only 3 MP camera,no EDGE. will consumer only pay for there brand name?
sean leach, 12 Aug 2008Ok, this question is aimed at any owners of this phone.
i currently have an N95 (the original... moreHi Sean
I bought this phone about 4-5 months back, and my phone is normally filled with 7-7.75 gb of data.
To this date, I have no issues from the File Manager. Accessing data from the phone memory and in the 8gb takes the same amount of time. File Manager takes me 0.5 sec to load at max.
Reg. restarting the phone to improve performance, it must have happened to me about 5-6 times only. I don't remember the circumstances which lead to that though. But I would say it's not at all frequent.
This phone is a killer phone with great features and the design is cool too...Se Rocsk my World!!!...
Yow i still got the problem with my w850 when i open games or applications it says "operation failed"i tried updatin my software but it says i have the latest software.Do u know how can i flash my phone.The update service didnt work.one more thing i know that revenant had a w850 well i have this thing since i got it.In the walkman program when u go to tracks it displays all ur songs arranged alphabetically.Well i dont have one list.i have two..meaning that there are like 90 tracks arranged alphabetically from a to z,Then under it is the rest of my tracks also arranged alphabetically.The annoying thing is that i can go to a track in the bottom list by typin the name or the beginning letters.But i have to scroll to the top list to play its songs.
to make it simpler there are two lists meanin that each one has its own tracks startin with the letter t. i can access the track on the 2nd list by typin "t" but not the 1st list.can this problem be fixed?Thanx man
ok.I still didnt get this phone even tho everything is ready but in my country's wierd market..w960 is much more expensive than an n81.so im thinkin if im travellin this summer ill probably buy an n81 and trade it for this in whatever country im goin to.
Im not givin up on ma w850 tho.Basically ma bros have been dyin to have it coz they were super impressed with its awesomeness:D.
and they both have nokias.one has n73 and the other has n70.Which is why im always really confident when i compare nokia and SE.coz even tho n70 and n73 are better than w850 spec wise.They still love and prefer my w850.history repeats itself.The story of me with my nokia 3230 and my friend's SE k700 all over again.It happened to so many ppl all over the world and will keep happenin as long as SE preserves their passion in making and using phones.
Just bought the SE W960 as replacement for my W900i. The 960 is a nice phone and a needed departure from th 900i but the 900i is a legend. Ther sound & memory's brilliant but I hav problems. Freezing, network loss and the phone just vibrating for no reason. I miss the navigation key or joystick. Navigating this phone is a nightmare with one hand. It is not as robust as my W900i. I got male hands so I never minded the W900i's size. It also had a better OS and battery.

GAIUS SUETONIUS TRANQUILLUS, Roman historian, lived during the end of the 1st and the first half of the 2nd century A.D. He was the contemporary of Tacitus and the younger Pliny, and his literary work seems to have been chiefly done in the reigns of Trajan and Hadrian (A.D. 98– 38). His father was military tribune in the XIIIth legion, add he himself began life as a teacher of rhetoric and an advocate. To us he is known as the biographer of the twelve Caesars (including Julius) down to Domitian. The lives are valuable as covering a good deal of ground where we are without the guidance of Tacitus. As Suetonius was the emperor Hadrian's private secretary (magister epistolarum), he must have had access to many important documents in the Imperial archives, e.g. the decrees and transactions of the senate. In addition to written and official documents, he picked up in society a mass of information and anecdotes, which, though of doubtful authenticity, need not be regarded as mere inventions of his own. They give a very good idea of the kind of court gossip prevalent in Rome at the time. He was a friend and correspondent of the younger Pliny, who when appointed governor of Bithynia took Suetonius with him. - Pliny also recommended him to the favourable notice of the emperor Trajan, " as a most upright, honourable, and learned man, whom persons often remember in their wills because of his merits," and he begs that he may be made legally capable of inheriting these bequests, for which under a special enactment Suetonius was, as a childless married man, disqualified. Hadrian's biographer, Aelius Spartianus, tells us that Suetonius was deprived of his private secretaryship because he had not been sufficiently observant of court etiquette towards the emperor's wife during Hadrian's absence in Britain. The Lives of the Caesars has always been a popular work. It is rather a chronicle than a history. It gives no picture of the society of the time, no hints as to the general character and tendencies of the period. It is the emperor who is always before us, and yet the portrait is drawn without any real historical judgment or insight. It is the personal anecdotes, several of which are very amusing, that give the lives their chief interest; but the author panders rather too much to a taste for scandal and gossip. None the less he throws considerable light on an important period, and next to Tacitus and Dio Cassius is the chief (sometimes the only) authority. The language is clear and simple. The work was continued by Marius Maximus (3rd century), who wrote a history of the emperors from Nerva to Elagabalus (now lost). Suetonius was a voluminous writer. Of his De viris illustribus, the lives of Terence and Horace, fragments of those of Lucan and the elder Pliny and the greater part of the chapter on grammarians and rhetoricians, are extant.

Hilary Wainwright is a British socialist and feminist, best known for being editor of Red Pepper magazine. She is a researcher and writer on the emergence of new forms of democratic accountability within parties, movements and the state. She has documented countless examples of resurgent democratic movements from Brazil to Britain and the lessons they provide for progressive politics.
Hilary was a friend of Kath's and kindly agreed to write a foreword for the book. She read the initial proof from cover to cover and has provided a very thoughtful overview and context for the book.

You share the emotions of the moment, from the high hopes, strong bonds and practical determination of the early years of what Kath calls the 'Manchester revolution', through the demoralisation after Labour's national election defeat in 1987, the anger and divisions over how to respond to the Tory cuts, the frustrations of making the leadership accountable, to the pride in improving some services against all the odds. You chuckle at occasional wry remarks about leading colleagues and gasp at absurdities produced by the impact of cuts and the Thatcher government's compulsory competitive tendering. And you gain an in-depth understanding of the dilemmas of trying to manage a local council to meet the needs of the city's most vulnerable citizens and at the same time resisting government policy. When is open non-co-operation with the government the right course and what form can it take to be effective? How can the Labour Party focus local anger on government policy, rather than let the Labour council take the blame as Thatcher intended?
The echoes of these struggles and debates reverberate today and there is much in this book from which we can learn. The contrasts are significant too. Compare the large, lively – if often fractious – Manchester City Labour Party of the 1980s with the routinised body it is now, of little interest to anyone beyond the small band of party faithful. Note also the way that trade unions, in many parts of the country, are today developing autonomous campaigns, building coalitions with community and user groups, rather than pursuing their political priorities for local government primarily through the Labour Party.
The detail is sometimes overwhelming, but Kath Fry's conscientious study provides a unique record. Once you've grasped the gist of a particular section, it is easy to skip to the next phase in the drama with the knowledge that you can always return to the full story later.
More accurately, Thatcher's project was a counter-revolution. For her determination to destroy anything remotely connected to socialism was, in part, a reaction to the other central political struggle taking place at this time. This was the effort, from the late 1960s onwards, to remake socialism beyond the false choices imposed by the Cold War, and the ways that these transformative movements built up unacceptable pressures for democracy, economic as well as political. 'An excess of democracy' as the Trilateral Commission put it in 1975.[2]
The roots of these movements for radical and comprehensive change – of both state and market – lay in the late 1960s, when they could be seen in the opposition to both the US war in Vietnam and the Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia. Their visions and demands were shaped by the children of the post-war boom and the welfare state. This was a generation with high expectations of democracy, a notable self-confidence in its capacities for self-organisation and an instinct to question all forms of authority. There was an underlying sense, after the defeat of fascism and decolonisation, that the perpetuation of elite or paternalist rule and military-style, status-ridden hierarchies was unacceptable, whether in politics, business or daily life. 'Participatory democracy' became the watchword of a new vision of socialism, for the state and public bodies and the economy and enterprises alike, the detail to be worked out in practice through challenging the old institutions and creating alternatives in the here and now.
It was this generation, and this vision, that drove the diverse coalition to change Manchester Council, as it was driving change in London, Sheffield and elsewhere. And it was a struggle for accountability, the attempt to deselect Harold Lever, a minister in Harold Wilson's government who was notably distant and effectively unaccountable to his local party, that brought together the initial core of activists. Participatory democracy became an important theme as the struggle moved on to open up and democratise the particularly hierarchical, rigid and unresponsive workings of the council.
The idea of neighbourhood services, one of many projects in a manifesto that was the product of many months of discussion and collaborative work, was one sign of the influence of the new vision of socialism and the transformed public administration that it required. The aim was not only to decentralise the way public services were managed but also to provide connected, holistic services and involve users in shaping these services and making them responsive to the city's diverse social needs. This was part of a wider strategy to 'tackle the bureaucracy', as Kath puts it in a particularly interesting chapter about the years 1984-1987, before Thatcher's counter-revolution hit the process hard.
Kath's concerns, evident in the way she has written this book, share this emphasis on the process of making and implementing policy. Indeed, one of the reasons why this book is important is that it documents this process of public municipal reform in detail and with insight and raw honesty. Kath has written a book that sees process, including organisation, ways people relate to each other, forms of leadership and relations of gender, race and class, as political and takes it seriously. In this sense, her book is a lot more interesting than just a local government version of the cabinet diaries that hit the headlines every so often. That in itself would be valuable because it is rare to see the inside workings of local government written as a story of creative and flawed human relationships and idiosyncratic personalities, as distinct from textbooks about structures and funding streams. But the focus of a reflective insider on questions of process allows the reader to understand political successes and failure in more depth.
You might say how could they ignore experiences like Manchester, London and Sheffield too, experiences led by their own party? Their 'logic' seems to have been this: it was the Left that kept depriving Labour of electoral victory; the Left has been running local government, hence their experience is of no interest – indeed quite the opposite, they need to be sidelined. The fact that several of the councils engaged in these reforms, generally did well electorally – Manchester particularly so – seems not have broken through a blanket taboo on learning from the radical left.
This meant widening definitions of democracy to include domestic inequality, identity, control over sexuality, challenges to how women are represented culturally, and control and access to public resources[3]. The discoveries women made about organisation in the course of overcoming subordination gave us an understanding of the importance for democratic politics and policy making, of the plurality of sources of knowledge rooted in daily experience as well as coming from theory and history. This led to a strong sense of the need for public decision-making to be open and inclusive. And it implied consciously creating positive conditions for egalitarian collaboration, including ensuring that people who might otherwise be silent gained the necessary confidence, making the exercise of power as transparent and accountable as practically possible[4].
Needless to say, we did not achieve all this even in our own organisations. The very title of a well-known and well-read pamphlet about organisational methods in the women's liberation movement, The Tyranny of Structurelessness[5], first published in 1970, indicates as much. But at least we were generally self-conscious of the problems. And while this approach to the politics of organisation was not essentially female, or essentially feminist, its importance for women in realising their own personal and political independence and self-confidence made women especially aware of its importance for the full democratic participation of all.
In her chapter on 'Tackling the bureaucracy', Kath describes an aspect of the old way of doing things that illustrates the wider importance of the new movement-inspired approach as a deepening of democracy and a new understanding of the means of achieving quality. It was not simply a matter of either 'style' or political correctness. She outlines how the council management, with the implicit agreement of the councillors, operated a "closed-door approach to the workforce and didn't consider that staff would have a view on policy or would have anything to contribute".
Thus, with their base in autonomous social movements and their criticism of the undemocratic, hierarchical nature of the state, but, on the other hand, their belief in the importance of redistribution and improving public services, they held out the possibility of being 'in and against the state'[6].
Many of the initiatives that Kath records from the early years of the 'Manchester revolution' illustrate what this meant in practice. First, local feminist, gay and other activists were joining the Labour Party in significant numbers in the late 1970s and early 1980s. They reinforced an emphasis on the Left on developing alternative polices rather than just being anti-cuts, and on working closely with community and other social movements to develop these policies – especially those that led to new structures in areas such as equal opportunities, neighbourhood services, police monitoring and race relations. An extensive and participatory process was set in motion to develop a manifesto for the local elections.
Second, when the Left did finally win a majority, it deployed this collaborative approach to changing the way the council was run. Key to the new councillors' strategy for cutting through the bureaucracy was the creation of working parties on new policy initiatives that would "enable councillors and officers to contribute as equals to the policy process". These proved very effective, according to Kath, though coming up against impossible pressures on councillors' time.
The Labour group was determined at first to keep control of the process of how the council met with – and negotiated over – the government's targets. It was also, mainly through the initiative of Graham Stringer, determined to use council powers, especially over land and property and image, to stimulate an autonomous dynamic for the city's economic development. The assumption was that this would benefit the majority of Manchester's citizens.
Kath writes as a loyal critic of the Labour group leadership, of which she was often part, an insider with a critical autonomy. She was part of its decision, after Thatcher's third election victory in 1987, to move away from confrontation with the government towards co-operation and negotiation and to attempt within this compromise to pursue Labour's principles of social justice. At the same time, though, she and other councillors – especially a small band of women, but also some men – tried to continue to apply, in these constrained circumstances, the radical vision of democracy with which they set off in 1984. This shapes her insights into the process of leadership and management in the five years following the fourth Tory victory in 1992, when the party and the social and trade union movements with which it had been connected were no longer the driving force making the group leadership accountable and influencing its management of the council.
Kath's story, as the Tory noose tightened around the neck of local government, raises two issues that reverberate today.
Certainly the message seemed to get through to the voters of Manchester. Judging by the election results in the 1990s, they seemed to blame the government, not the council, for the cuts in services that had to be made.
The failures of the private sector when it takes over public services or utilities are well documented[7]. But most stories of local government in the 1980s and 1990s focus on the decimation of its powers. It takes an insider, such as Kath, to document what was being done, especially in services where a reforming Left had taken office, to improve services with diminishing resources rather than let citizens suffer – and vote them out as Thatcher had explicitly intended.
Kath describes in some detail the efforts of leading councillors, including herself, to get council officials to organise adequate financial and information systems to enable councillors, under severe pressure, to ensure high quality essential services. She talks about the process as like 'pulling teeth'. But she felt that in general they were successful in achieving this internal transparency.
With regard to the openness and accountability of the Labour group, however, there seems to have been a process of reversion to type: type being a small closed group with concentrated power. The group whose power originated in the rebellion of 1984 was, on Kath's judgement, doing a considerably better job for Mancunians than the old right-wing cabal. But her language towards the end of the book describing the nature of the power structure as it evolved in the struggles against, followed by the compromises with, the Tory government echo her language in the first chapters. It's as if the politics of the 1984 group produced its own 'tyranny of oligarchy'.
Kath's insights indicate that this was not inevitable. At different times she points to modest alternative options that together could have produced a more collaborative, open and participatory culture but were, one way or another, closed. These included giving greater priority to citizens' participation in new policy initiatives – for example, the neighbourhood services, even in a slimmed down version; maintaining a commitment, despite the tensions, to openness and collaborative work with the Labour group, the city party and social movements; taking positive action towards creating a political culture attractive to women, ethnic minorities, gays and lesbians, activists from working class communities and others who were de facto excluded or subordinated by the conventions of traditional politics.
The 1984 manifesto concerned two aspects of democracy. On the one hand, it focused on making elected politicians accountable to local Labour parties, ensuring that the council was led by elected councillors rather than officers, establishing that these councillors had full control over how money was spent, and so on. Kath describes considerable progress between 1984 and 1997 towards a member led council – within the constraints set by central government. And formally the Labour Group was accountable to the Party but it was less and less of an active player.
The weakness of the Party as a source of democratic pressure on the elected leadership of the council leads us to the fate of the more distinctively innovative dimension of the vision of the rebels of 1984. Less thoroughly worked out and in greater need of learning through experiment, this was the vision of opening up the political process to civic sources of democratic power. It was the dimension covered by the idea of 'participatory democracy', if you like. This, it would seem, was not achieved.
It is beyond the task of this foreword to explain why. Kath implies that the Labour group leadership's support for this dimension was not wholehearted, though there were several leading councillors and party activists who worked for it concertedly (including John Shiers, who sadly died a few months after Kath, also of cancer) – for example, through developing the neighbourhood services.
There is perhaps a connection between the underdevelopment of this participatory dimension and the tendency Kath notes towards a concentration of power in a leading group of councillors, officers and other players in the city and regional politics. Political systems based exclusively on representative democracy have an inbuilt tendency towards oligarchy, especially where the electoral system is first-past-the-post. It's a tendency, not inevitability, but it arises from the assumption that elected representatives have a monopoly over democratic legitimacy.
Public servants, the theory goes, serve the elected politicians to carry out the will of the people. The people are passive between elections, except as supplicants with particular problems. The pull of the process is upwards, with an in-built tendency towards hierarchy, although within this the political culture can be more or less collegiate and collaborative. The vertical pull is reinforced by the fact that in reality, in a capitalist, oligarchic economy, elected politicians on their own have limited powers and tend to end up depending, either actively or passively, on powerful private interests, including media. Political parties on their own have proved to be inadequate counters to this pressure. And Manchester City Labour Party was no exception.
A variety of experiences in other UK cities and internationally indicate that only strong, autonomous and democratic social movements, including radical trade union organisations, community groups and social economy initiatives, can provide an adequate democratic counter power, opening up the political culture and ways of being political in local government. The insight in practice of the radical movements of the 1960s onwards, which has been developed by the many movements for deeper democracy active today around the environment, inequality and a reawakened feminism, was that the power to transform does not lie simply with politicians.
In Manchester, in the build up to the left winning the leadership of the Labour group, the Labour Party had links with social movements but in general such links were not as strong as in some cities. The party leadership did not give any priority to enabling and supporting the growth of a democratic and self-confident civil society. Such a process could well have been seen as producing too much uncertainty when keeping control was the overriding priority.
The question concerning relations with private business does not arise from a simply theoretical interest. Rather it comes from observing, in the local New Deal for Communities in East Manchester in the early 2000s, how the involvement of local residents in housing developments, and the community pressure stimulated by this opening up of the process, strengthened the hand of the public authority to get results of more benefit to the local community[8].
At the same time I noted Kath's cautious scepticism about the quality of the jobs created by the private sector developments supported by the council and "whether the economic boom has really filtered down to improve the quality of life or levels of poverty amongst many Manchester residents"[9]. Would a genuinely participatory approach, underpinning an integration of social and employment goals (rather than primarily infrastructural goals) into the regeneration process, have made a difference? The council had – and used – bargaining levers in its dealings with private business through its ownership of land and property, its access to government funds, and in the market that its geo-economic position offered. In these days, when brand is an important source of value, is not public pressure and hence democracy also an (under-used) source of bargaining power? A source of bargaining power that also expands the priorities of what is demanded beyond those that the politicians would set on their own.
I'm not sure what Kath would have said in such a discussion. But there is one thing for sure: we can never move forward without an honest assessment of the past. And Kath has certainly left us with that.
