Which phone should I exhange my HTC One M8 for?
I love the HTC One M8. The Boom Sound is awesome, the display is nice, and the camera is good, but we have joined Sprint a few days ago, and without the Sprint Spark being completed, I don't want to use the phone unless I am on a more reliable network instead of network changing from 4g LTE to 3g every few minutes. I want a phone that has an excellent/awesome sound, display, and camera. I have about 10 days to exchange my phone, but I'm not sure which phone I should get that could match the M8 (especially with the speakers).
I have heard that the Samsung Galaxy 5, iPhone 5, Nexus 5, and LG G3 are all good. I would like something 4g LTE compatible (but not Sprint Spark), and on the Sprint service. I have seen other HTC devices online, but I don't know much about them.
If anybody has any suggestions, please share them. Thank you.

S e asian/mexician cenote biotope
So it about time i started a biotope, but was stuck between what type,so ive opted for south east asian/mexician cenote biotope, bit misssh mashh.
Tank size
Fluval u2 internal filter
Blackout back/sides
Ive went for the cheaper and recomended method of scavaging for this tank, the retailers price for branches and root systems are so expencive. So i went for a walk in the woods and found some impressive root systems, will be returning for them for my 140g discus set up. But for now back to my biotope, i found a big dead oak try so collected aload of branches, a bag of oak leaves. Now ive read that a simple wash is good enought but i decided to wet scape the bark of leven a nice look about it. The leaf liter was soaked in plain water for 2day by then the leaf had sunk, a quick rinse and thats them done and ready to use.
The sand substrate is a mix of used silca and river sand again free of charge.
I dont think am going to put any plants in this tank as green would look odd in this autum/fall biotope.
Ive added a slate corner with options of slate caves with sand or slopeing slate to spawn on.
Now for fish choice, now i wont to get this mexicain cenote right here so dont worry about fish size as they will be getting replaced will apistos once they get to 4" and moved to the big tank. My choice is
2xfire mouth cichlids there 2 i picked out from a small group in a large tank, they were cuddled up in a corner so hopeing these to are a pair :)
They have settled on the slate area under the branches.
My south east asian fish are
9x green tiger barb 6x tiger barb. geting the tigers barbs on saturday, however my 9 strong team of green tigers are doing great, shoaling up great now the pecking orders sorted. Will sex them once my females plump up more. There getting on well with my fire mouths as there swimming around with them in there group.
So as it stand i am happy with the set up, maybe tweeks needed along the way but for now, hope yous enjoy this develope
Tiger barbs are here!!!!
So i got my 6xtiger barbs yesterday, they spent 12 hours in darkness intill i came home today and turn on the lights,
They were all shoaled together what a stunning sight, loveing this new tank set up.
Got a short 20sec video of the feeding frenzie what just took place. There so fast its unreal. Cant wait to start the 140g now
Heres some pictures!!!
Will get some close ups shortly just this video to upload
As promised had to open up a youtube page for tropical fish stuff, so my first videos my barbs haveing a light lunch!!!
TIGERS & GREEN TIGER BARBS BIOTOPE FEEDING TIME - YouTube
Posted via Mobile Device
WOW! I love the look of your tank! Very cool. The green-moss barbs and firemouth really are snatching up that food! Thanks for sharing the video ^_^
Although, I am so jealous, how did you get the oak leaves to look that awesome and not deteriorate in the water??
Thanks sdfssddff
The biotope turn out better that i though it would, its about timeing with your oak leafs, only pick the falling leafs dont pick as there not ready, this it the time in scotland well the hole of uk, collect a few bags dry them out in a shed or garage this way they will keep to next autum, once soaked you get a good few months out then and any decaining leaf will hover up duren water changes, add more when you feel you need them.
The firemouths just finish it off, they seam to get in among the barbs at dinner time no problem, but they barbs are super fast. Thanks for viewing :) hope you hit that "like" button lol

text: Coal Ash Wednesday: Putting lipstick on a toxic pig Duke Energy's "philanthropy" geared towards area beautification, not watershed protection: The foundation is particularly interested in receiving applications from economic development programs that would enhance "community beautification and maintenance with a measurable impact on increasing tourism, business and population growth within the county." In the environmental category, RCCF seeks programs "that have a visible impact on the local community, such as outdoor classrooms or environmental signage along trails, (and) walkways along the river." While this $10 million from Duke Energy was a voluntary donation and had no regulatory requirements attached, the "visible impact" qualifier for use of these funds makes it part of their wider public relations efforts. Most of the real work that is done safeguarding and enhancing water quality is not visible to the average passerby, but it's much more important than streetscaping or posting a sign by a trail.

Yeah I feel you, but it was expected The girls have made about 4 or 5 trips to the final four and lost everytime. I wasn't even excited for that game, cause I already know the feeling and didnt want to get my hopes u. For some reason LSU cant beat Tennessee in a neutral site.
Yeah LSU supposed to be getting some more top notch recruits for the girls, I think they got a great fresman class coming in, but who knows. I'm mad cause they NEVER bring in dime pieces for ball players, they always rolling with the dykes and thug misses.

Angelcare Review
An Angelcare baby monitor not only monitors sound but also uses a sensor pad to monitor your baby's movement and sound an alarm if none is detected for 20 seconds. Parents posting Angelcare reviews on Amazon report that these monitors set their minds at ease. Many parents say in reviews that the idea of monitoring a child's breathing and movement seems ideal for SIDS prevention. But experts at MayoClinic.com warn that conventional baby monitors are unlikely to be effective. Infants prone to sleep apnea are commonly placed on medical-grade breathing monitors. Relying on an Angelcare monitor might give parents a false sense of security.
Of course, some proponents still believe it couldn't hurt, so why not buy an Angelcare monitor (starting at $85, Amazon) just in case? Unfortunately, Angelcare monitors are notorious for heart-stopping false alarms, especially if your baby is old enough to move away from the pad that's designed to alert you if it stops sensing movement, as one parent posting an Angelcare review on Amazon discovered firsthand. On the other hand, Amazon is full of reviews in which parents say false alarms let them know the monitor "works."
Where to buy
Think long and hard before you decide to buy an Angelcare monitor. Depending on who you are, you'll either think the price is worth the peace of mind or you won't be willing to endure the anxiety of false alarms from a monitor that hasn't been shown to prevent SIDS.

Canadian National Profit Beats Estimates, Plans BuybackFrederic Tomesco
Canadian National Railway Co., North America's most efficient carrier, said it will split its stock and plans a C$1.4 billion ($1.36 billion) buyback after posting a third-quarter profit that beat analysts' estimates.
The results released late yesterday set the stage for Canadian Pacific Railway Ltd.'s earnings today. Analysts project the country's second-biggest railroad will report net income of C$304.7 million, compared with Canadian National's C$705 million. That beat the C$685.4 million estimated on average by analysts.
Canadian National's results benefited from a jump in petroleum and chemicals revenue and gains in sales from intermodal freight, that can be carried by train, truck or ship. The company said it will split its stock 2-for-1 and buy back as many as 15 million shares, or 4.1 percent, of the outstanding total, in the next year.
"This was a significant beat," Walter Spracklin, an analyst at RBC Capital Markets who recommends investors buy Canadian National stock, said in a telephone interview from Toronto. "It seems that all cylinders are firing. On top of that, the buyback is becoming a bit of a tradition for them."
It's the third straight year in which Canadian National has announced a stock buyback program in connection with its third-quarter results. A year ago, the company unveiled plans to buy as many as 18 million, or 4.8 percent, of its outstanding shares.
Revenue rose 8 percent to C$2.7 billion, ahead of the average estimate of C$2.65 billion. Including costs of 5 cents a share linked to a one-time deferred income tax adjustment, net income rose to C$705 million, or C$1.67 a share, from C$664 million, or C$1.52, a year earlier, the company said.
Railroad Efficiency
Petroleum and chemicals revenue rose 17 percent to C$485 million in the third quarter, the company said. Intermodal revenue rose 13 percent to C$577 million. Operating ratio, a measure of railroad efficiency that compares expenses to revenue, improved by 0.8 percentage point to 59.8 percent.
Canadian National has signed up four intermodal and automotive customers of rival Canadian Pacific Railway this year, including Chrysler Group LLC. The company, which estimates it carries about half of all new completed vehicles sold in Canada, will add Chrysler's business in mid-2014, Chief Marketing Officer Jean-Jacques Ruest said on a conference call.
Canadian National also reaffirmed its full-year target of "high single-digit growth" for adjusted profit, compared with C$5.61 a share last year. The company expects "to finish 2013 on a strong note," Chief Financial Officer Luc Jobin said on the call.
Extended Trading
The stock fell 0.1 percent to C$109.76 in Toronto yesterday. The U.S. traded shares rose as much as 1.5 percent to $108.35 in extended trading after the company's results were disclosed.
The share split will take the form of a stock dividend, with shareholders receiving one extra common share for each share held. The stock dividend will be payable on Nov. 29 to shareholders of record at the close of business on Nov. 15, Canadian National said. The board approved a fourth-quarter dividend of 21.5 Canadian cents a share, post split, to be paid on Dec. 31, to shareholders of record on Dec. 10, the company said.
Canadian National was the operator of a train carrying crude oil and liquefied petroleum gas that derailed four days ago in the western province of Alberta, causing an explosion and fire with no injuries.
Regulator Scrutiny
Regulators have raised scrutiny of oil transport by rail in Canada and the U.S. after a Montreal, Maine & Atlantic Railway Ltd. train derailed in Lac-Megantic, Quebec, on July 6, killing at least 47 people and incinerating buildings in the town's center.
Chief Executive Officer Claude Mongeau defended the company's safety record on the conference call, saying Canadian National moves in excess of 1 billion tons of commodities a year and has "two to three" accidents a month.
"To be able to have so few accidents in any given year with so much volume is quite remarkable," he said. "It's difficult to get better than that, but we are committed to continue to improve."
Canadian National is "focused as we speak on returning service levels to our customers," Mongeau said. Residents of Gainford, Alberta -- who were evacuated as a result of the derailment -- are "safely back at home," he said.

(Continued: Page 2 of 2)
The standard audio system comprises an in-dash, six-disc changer without the ability to read MP3 or WMA discs. From the evidence of a redundant button on the right of the stereo, it appears that the RX-8 may have once offered tape deck and even minidisc playback capabilities. While the trip down music format memory lane was pleasant, however, we would like to have seen at least an auxiliary input jack for hooking up our iPod.
Our car did come with the Sirius Satellite Radio option ($438), which gave us an alternative to Red Book CDs and AM/FM stations. However, as we found in our review of the MazdaSpeed 3, Mazda's designers don't appear to test the integration of satellite radio in their navigation-lacking models. If they did, they would see that the means of selecting stations is far from intuitive.
While it is possible to call up the name of the current channel--and current artist--on the monochrome LCD screen above the dash by pressing the DISP button, it is not possible to change that channel without reverting to the channel number. You can then search for other stations only by number, calling up the text for the channel name only by further pushes of the DISP button. If you're anything like us, you probably don't know all 134 Sirius stations by number.
Somewhat surprisingly, the RX-8 does come with GPS navigation as an option: for an extra $2,000, drivers get a voice-activated navigation system with a 7-inch touch screen that pops up out of the top of the dash. According to Mazda, the navigation system's touch screen can also be used to program the car's climate control and audio systems. In the absence of the navigation system, however, we were reduced to using the RX-8's head unit controls to program our music selection.
Under the hood
As noted above, the real story with the RX-8 is its Renesis rotary engine, which is the only one of its kind currently in production. It works by replacing the pistons, valves, and other reciprocating parts of a regular internal combustion engine with two chambers, each containing a three-sided rotor orbiting a central axle.
As the rotors spin in their respective chambers, they create a constant cycle of suction and compression between their apexes and the chamber housing. This action sucks the fuel-air mixture into the combustion chamber, where it is sealed, compressed, and ignited by two spark plugs.
The power created by the ignition of the fuel is translated to the gearbox via offset (or "eccentric") lobes on the output shaft. As the rotor spins around the chamber, it pushes on the lobes, which, in turn, cause the output shaft to spin. (For a good visual impression of how it works, check out Mazda's video.)
Due to its unique mechanism, the Renesis engine is far smaller--and therefore has need of less displacement--than a comparably powered piston engine. Not only does this save weight, it also enables the engine to be mounted aft of the front axle, adding to the RX-8's near 50-50 front-to-rear-weight distribution. This balance, combined with an as-standard limited-slip differential, gives the RX-8 the kind of superior handling and road-holding prowess that invites spirited misbehavior.
The lack of moving parts in the rotary engine relative to piston engines also ensures a noticeably smoother ride. When driving around in the RX-8, we found the usual judder associated with manual up- and downshifts in piston-engined car.
As we saw in our 0-to-60 mph runs, the RX-8 can feel anemic off the line and through the lower rpm range, but once you have the ground speed and engine speed up, it is a delight to drive, especially when changing down for quick acceleration and holding gears all the way to redline, which results in a melodious growl from the exhaust.
The downside of all this fun is the RX-8's pitiful gas mileage, which results principally from the inefficiency of the rotary engine, compared with piston-power plants. We managed just more than 220 miles on a full 16-gallon tank of gas, translating to a meager 14 mpg, nearly half of which was in highway driving. (We can't even blame this poor fuel economy on our 0-to-60 runs, which we did after refueling).
In sum
From its distinctive exterior styling to its unique rotary engine, the Mazda RX-8 is a mold breaker. It is in serious need of a cabin tech upgrade, and its gas mileage would be disappointing for a piston engine car with three times as much displacement.
Stoplight speed demons will also be put off by its lack of low-end oomph. But there is more to spirited driving than shredding tires, and the RX-8's precise handling and high-revving engine are a joy. It might not win over Ford Mustang fans, but those looking at the Nissan 350Z and the Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder might want to consider this zoom-zoomer as an option.

The deal, which enables the pair to overtake BP as the biggest operator of petrol stations in the UK, follows a similar three-way agreement in the US with Texaco and Saudi Aramco, although it is less ambitious in terms of cost reductions being targeted. Shell yesterday talked of potential cost savings of $200m (pounds 120m) a year compared with the $1bn anticipated from the US deal.
Shares in the Anglo-Dutch group spiked up in early trading in London and Amsterdam despite Shell saying that this deal was not "the first step towards a full-blown merger". The shares later fell back as the markets succumbed to wider worries later in the day. Shell ended down 5p at 330p.
Shell yesterday admitted that some job losses were inevitable, but insisted that further details - including whether the combination resulted in closures of refining plant - had yet to be hammered out.
Analysts expect the deal to be closely scrutinised by the UK Office of Fair Trading and the European Commission, although the key stumbling block may lie in the Netherlands, where Shell already has 800 stations to add to Texaco's 557. Oil specialists Wood Mackenzie estimated combined market shares at 42.3 per cent in Holland, 28.2 per cent in Belgium, 32 per cent in Ireland and 32.7 per cent in Luxembourg.
In the UK where Shell now has 1,841 stations after taking over 328 from Gulf at the end of last year, the combined total will stand at more than 2,500. That will put them well ahead of both BP and Esso, which lead the market with more than 1,800 outlets each.
Competition in the UK retail market is a highly sensitive issue. There have been three Monopolies and Mergers Commission investigations in recent times. The Office of Fair Trading mounted its own investigation earlier this year following complaints about Esso's Pricewatch campaign, but cleared the industry in May.
Shell will be in the driving seat in what is effectively a takeover of the Texaco operations by its European rival. Shell will have 88 per cent of the joint venture, leaving Texaco with 12 per cent.
Analysts welcomed the deal as " a step in the right direction". Andrew Marshall at Robert Fleming said: "Rates of return in downstream are miserable. Anything you can do to improve profitability is welcome."
However, on Wall Street, Fadel Gheit at Fahenstock & Co criticised the decision to keep the two brands separate as indicative of dithering on the Anglo-Dutch group's part. "It is like a man and wife retaining two separate bank accounts. It eradicates most of the benefits you would expect from consolidating operations."
Shell has come under fire from the City for its failure to respond aggressively to the sharp fall in the oil price and the dramatic shift since this summer's mega-merger between rival BP and Amoco of the US.
In an attempt to rehabilitate itself in the eyes of investors, Shell last year set itself a target of 15 per cent return on capital by 2001. However, with the oil price at a 25-year low, the group is further away from the goal than last year. Shell Transport and Trading, the company's UK shareholding arm, has underperformed the FTSE by 28 per cent, while Texaco has seen its shares rise 5 per cent in spite of the oil price slide.

Chris Kossifos, Managing Member of CK Technology Group, took time recently to speak with Business Solutions Magazine about the benefits of deploying an open platform IP system.
Point of Sale EMV integrations are becoming more advanced by the day. Software developers can now choose to integrate with a semi-integrated terminal solution which communicates directly with the bank without the need for an EMV-certified gateway. Sound great? It can be, but there are many benefits merchants would lose out on.
The popularity of cloud-based storage and sharing tools has skyrocketed over the past five years. Businesses and consumers use Google Drive, Box, and Dropbox for sharing files, collaborating on documents, and coordinating projects in real time.
As technology continues to advance, managing and analyzing massive data sets just can't be accomplished by humans alone. It requires huge amounts of memory and storage, as well as the high-speed processing power of the cloud. Machine learning is a process that applies advanced mathematical algorithms and powerful computing capabilities to quickly and efficiently analyze those data sets and identify patterns.
A year ago, we accurately predicted cybersecurity threats that have since been realized, from attacks that targeted the presidential election to the continued onslaught of ransomware. Awareness of cyber threats may be at an all-time high, but attacks are still both prevalent and successful. Nonetheless, for the first time ever, we witnessed a minor year-over-year decrease in the volume of malware. In part, the decline can be attributed to the increased security awareness mentioned, but it also reflects changes in cybercriminal tactics.

shoudent the ghosts be mentioned —Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.108.40.206 (talk) 14:04, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
2 incorrect uses of apostrophe replaced, removed "the" from "the Scotland". "Haunting's" changed to "reports of haunting". I suggest that the record of the 1957 incident is too vague for encylcopedic content, however I will not make this edit as I do not have any significant knowledge in paranormal study. As it stands it seems more a repeat of local legend as the lorry driver is not named nor is an exact date recorded. Baldy Bill (talk) 01:31, 31 December 2012 (UTC)

Men and women with type 1 long QT syndrome (LQT1) exhibit time-dependent differences in the risk for cardiac events.
We hypothesized that sex-specific risk for LQT1 is related to the location and function of the disease-causing mutation in the KCNQ1 gene.
The risk for life-threatening cardiac events (comprising aborted cardiac arrest [ACA] or sudden cardiac death [SCD]) from birth through age 40 years was assessed among 1051 individuals with LQT1 (450 men and 601 women) by the location and function of the LQT1-causing mutation (prespecified as mutations in the intracellular domains linking the membrane-spanning segments [ie, S2–S3 and S4–S5 cytoplasmic loops] involved in adrenergic channel regulation vs other mutations).
Multivariate analysis showed that during childhood (age group: 0–13 years) men had >2-fold (P < .003) increased risk for ACA/SCD than did women, whereas after the onset of adolescence the risk for ACA/SCD was similar between men and women (hazard ratio = 0.89 [P = .64]). The presence of cytoplasmic-loop mutations was associated with a 2.7-fold (P < .001) increased risk for ACA/SCD among women, but it did not affect the risk among men (hazard ratio 1.37; P = .26). Time-dependent syncope was associated with a more pronounced risk-increase among men than among women (hazard ratio 4.73 [P < .001] and 2.43 [P = .02], respectively), whereas a prolonged corrected QT interval (≥500 ms) was associated with a higher risk among women than among men.
Our findings suggest that the combined assessment of clinical and mutation location/functional data can be used to identify sex-specific risk factors for life-threatening events for patients with LQT1.
Long QT syndrome type 1 (LQT1) is the most commonly occurring of the congenital long QT syndromes (LQTS).1 It is caused by mutations in the KCNQ1 gene that impair the slow-acting potassium channel that gives rise to IKs. The resulting prolongation of ventricular repolarization increases the potential for cardiac arrhythmogenic events that can cause syncope or sudden cardiac death (SCD). Patients with LQT1 experience the majority of their events during exercise, possibly because the phase 3 IKs repolarizing current activates during increased heart rate and is essential for QT-interval adaptation during tachycardia.1,2 Prior studies have shown that mutations located at the membrane-spanning (MS) region and missense vs nonmissense mutations are associated with a greater risk for cardiac events in patients with LQT1.3 The MS region includes the MS domains and the MS linkers. Mutations in the intracellular linkers that connect the MS domains of the KCNQ1 (Kv7.1) channel subunit (defined herein as the S2–S3 and S4–S5 cytoplasmic [C]-loop mutations) were shown to affect adrenergic channel regulation by protein kinase A4 and may therefore predispose to increased risk for life-threatening events in this population.5
The phenotypic expression of LQT1 is affected by sex and age, wherein men with LQT1 experience increased risk for cardiac events, mainly during the childhood period.6 Prior studies, however, did not relate sex-specific risk in this population to the location and function of the disease-causing mutation in the KCNQ1 gene. Furthermore, sex differences in the clinical course of LQT1 were related previously to a cardiac event composite end point, which comprised mostly nonfatal syncope. Accordingly, the present study was designed to evaluate whether the combined assessment of clinical and mutation location/functional data can identify sex-specific risk factors for life-threatening cardiac events in men and women with LQT1.
The study population comprised 1051 LQT1-positive subjects from 259 proband identified families. Patients were drawn from the Rochester, NY, enrolling center (center 1) of the International LQTS Registry (n = 755), the Netherlands LQTS Registry (n = 85), and the Japanese LQTS Registry (n = 83), as well as from data submitted by other investigators specifically for this collaborative mutation analysis project: Denmark (n = 43), Israel (n = 34), Sweden (n = 4), and Salt Lake City, UT (n = 47). The proband in each family had otherwise unexplained, diagnostic corrected QT-interval (QTc) prolongation or experienced LQTS-related symptoms. Patients with congenital deathness were excluded from the study.
For each patient, information on personal history, including cardiac events, electrocardiograms, and therapies, as well as family history was obtained at enrollment. Clinical data were then collected yearly on prospectively designed forms with information on demographic characteristics, personal and family medical history, electrocardiogram findings, medical therapies, left cardiac sympathetic denervation, implantation of a pacemaker or an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD), and the occurrence of LQT1-related cardiac events. The QT interval was corrected for heart rate (QTc) by using Bazett's formula.7 Data common to all LQTS registries involving genetically tested individuals were merged electronically into a common database for the present study.
The KCNQ1 mutations were identified with the use of standard genetic tests conducted in academic molecular genetic laboratories including the Functional Genomics Center, University of Rochester Medical Center, Rochester, NY; Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, TX; Windland Smith Rice Sudden Death Genomics Laboratory, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN; Boston Children's Hospital, Boston, MA; Laboratory of Molecular Genetics, National Cardiovascular Center, Suita, Japan; Department of Clinical Genetics, Academic Medical Center, Amsterdam, The Netherlands; and Molecular Cardiology Laboratory, Policlinico S. Matteo and University of Pavia, Pavia, Italy.
Mutations were defined as any nonsynonym rare variants (<1% of the healthy population) identified in a proband with a prolonged QT interval. Based on prior data regarding mutation location/function and arrhythmic risk in LQT1,3–5,8 mutations were categorized by their location and type in the KCNQ1-encoded channel subunit as follows: (1) missense mutations in the MS region: defined as amino acid residues from 120 to 355, excluding mutations within the MS linkers; (2) missense mutations in the C loops: defined as the coding sequence involving amino acid residues from 174 to 190 (S2–S3 linker) and from 242 to 259 (S4–S5 linker); (3) missense mutations in the N-terminus region, defined as amino acid residues before 120, and the C-terminus region, defined as amino acid residues after residue 355, were combined into one category labeled as the other region for this analysis (hence called the N/C terminus); and (4) other LQT1 mutations as the reference group (ie, splice sites, in-frame insertions, in-frame deletions, nonsense, and frameshift).
The specific mutations included in the present study, by location, type, and number of patients, are detailed in the Supplementary Appendix Table 1, and the distribution of the mutations in the KCNQ1 gene by their frequency among study patients is shown in Figure 1.
The primary end point of the study was the occurrence of a first life-threatening cardiac event, comprising aborted cardiac arrest (ACA) (requiring defibrillation as part of resuscitation), or LQT1-related SCD (abrupt in onset without evident cause, if witnessed, or death that was not explained by any other cause if it occurred in a nonwitnessed setting such as sleep). To further validate the consistency of the results among patients who received an ICD during follow-up, we also assessed a secondary end point comprising the first occurrence of ACA, SCD, or appropriate ICD shock during follow-up.
The baseline and follow-up clinical characteristics of the study population were evaluated by using the chi-square test for categorical variables and the Mann-Whitney-Wilcoxon test for continuous variables. The cumulative probability of a first ACA or SCD by sex and by mutation location was assessed by using the Kaplan-Meier method, and significance was tested by using the log-rank test. Follow-up was censored at age 40 years to avoid confounding by acquired cardiovascular disease. Multivariate Cox proportional-hazards regression models were used to evaluate the independent contribution of clinical and genetic factors to the first occurrence of ACA or SCD. Prespecified covariates in the total population model included sex, QTc duration (categorized as a 3-level covariate: >500 ms, 500–550 ms, <500 ms [reference]), mutation location and type (as defined above), the occurrence of syncope during follow-up, and medical therapy with beta-blockers. Syncope and beta-blocker therapy were assessed as time-dependent covariates in the multivariate models. To avoid violation of the proportional hazards assumption due to sex-risk crossover during adolescence, we employed an age-sex interaction term in the total population multivariate model. The effect of each covariate in men and women was assessed by interaction-term analysis (ie, by including a sex-by-risk factor interaction term in the multivariate models), with interactions tested one at a time. Patients without available baseline QTc data (n = 151) were included as a separate (QTc missing) covariate in the multivariate models.
Because almost all the subjects were first- and second-degree relatives of probands, the effect of lack of independence between subjects was evaluated in the Cox model with grouped jackknife estimates for family membership.9 All grouped jackknife standard errors for the covariate risk factors fell within 3% of those obtained from the unadjusted Cox model, and therefore only the Cox model findings are reported. The statistical software used for the analyses was SAS version 9.20 (SAS Institute Inc, Cary, NC). A 2-sided .05 significance level was used for hypothesis testing.
The clinical characteristics of the study patients by sex are shown in Table 1. Baseline QTc was similar between men and women during childhood and significantly higher among women after the onset of adolescence. During follow-up, similar numbers of men and women were treated with beta-blockers, but a higher proportion of women were treated with an ICD. There were no significant sex differences in the distribution of the mutation by location (Table 1). However, patients with missense mutations localizing to the C loops exhibited a significantly longer baseline QTc (503 ± 58 ms) than did patients with other mutations (480 ± 51 ms; P < .001).
During follow-up, 138 study patients (13%) experienced the primary end point of a first ACA or SCD. Kaplan-Meier event rates were significantly higher among men than among women throughout follow-up (P = .008 for the overall difference; Figure 2). Notably, life-threatening cardiac events among men occurred predominantly during childhood, whereas among women event rates increased after this time period. Thus, by age 14 years, the cumulative probability of ACA or SCD was 10% among men as compared with only 3% among women, and by age 40 years, the respective events rates were 19% and 15% (Figure 2).
Consistent with those findings, multivariate analysis in the total study population showed that during childhood men had >2-fold (P = .003) increase in the risk for ACA or SCD as compared with women whereas after the onset of adolescence, there was no statistically significant difference in the risk for ACA or SCD between men and women (hazard ratio [HR] 0.89; P = .64; Table 2). Additional risk factors within the total study population included the presence of missense mutations localizing to the C loops (1.9-fold risk increase [P = .005]), QTc 500–550 and >550 ms (>3-fold and >4-fold risk increase, respectively [P < .001 for both]), and the occurrence of syncope during follow-up (3.4-fold risk increase [P < .001]; Table 2). Results were similar when the secondary end point of a first ACA, SCD, or appropriate ICD shock was assessed.
Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed that women with LQT1 with missense C-loop mutations exhibited a significantly higher rate of ACA or SCD than did women whose LQT1-causative mutation localized elsewhere (P < .001 for the overall difference during follow-up; Figure 3A). In contrast, among men, the respective rates of ACA or SCD remained high, predominantly during the childhood period, regardless of mutation location/type (P = .33 for the overall difference during follow-up [Figure 3B]).
Sex-specific multivariate analysis (Table 3) showed that women with C-loop mutations exhibited nearly a 3-fold (P = .01) increased risk for ACA or SCD than did women with other mutation types, whereas the risk for ACA or SCD among men was not significantly different by mutation location/type (P value for mutation-location-by-sex interaction = .07). Similar results were observed in an additional analysis in which the large subset of patients with the V254M C-loop mutation was excluded from the multivariate models (risk associated with C loop vs other mutations among women: HR 2.55, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.02–5.94; among men: HR 1.03, 95% CI 0.33–4.11).
Additional risk factors for ACA or SCD among both men and women included a prolonged QTc and the occurrence of time-dependent syncope (Table 3). Notably, women with prolonged QTc, both in the range of 500–550 ms and >550 ms, experienced a pronounced increase (approximately 6-fold) in the risk of ACA or SCD, whereas the risk associated with a prolonged QTc in men was more modest and evident only in those with QTc >550 ms (Table 3 and Figures 4A and B, respectively). The occurrence of syncope during follow-up was associated with a 4-fold (P < .001) increase in the risk for subsequent ACA or SCD among men and with a 2.4-fold (P = .002) increase in the risk for subsequent ACA or SCD among women.
The combined assessment of clinical and genetic data identified a very low rate of life-threatening events (0.03 events per 100 patient-years) among women aged 13 years or younger without C-loop mutations, no history of prior syncope, and QTc <500 ms.
Time-dependent medical therapy with beta-blockers was associated with a significant 61% reduction in the risk for ACA or SCD in the total study population (HR 0.39; 95% CI 0.22–0.70; P = .001), with beta-blocker protection seen similarly between men and women (P values for beta-blocker-by-sex interaction = .56). Notably, this analysis showed that the risk associated with C-loop mutations in women was even more pronounced among those who did not receive beta-blocker therapy (HR 4.51; 95% CI 2.57–7.23; P < .001).
In the present study, we assessed for the first time sex-specific risk factors for life-threatening cardiac events in a large population of 1051 genetically confirmed patients with LQT1. Our findings show that among probands and relatives with LQT1, (1) men exhibit a significantly higher rate of life-threatening cardiac events than do women, especially prior to puberty, and (2) mutation location shows a sex-specific association with the risk for ACA or SCD. Thus, the risk for life-threatening events was shown to be increased among women with LQT1 with mutations localizing to C-loop domains (S2–S3 and S4–S5) of the KCNQ1-encoded protein, whereas the risk for ACA or SCD among men with LQT1 was high even among those who harbored mutations localizing to other regions of the channel that had been ascribed previously as lower-risk mutations. These findings suggest that a combined approach that incorporates clinical and genetic data can be used for improved risk assessment and management of men and women with LQT1.
A previous study from the International LQTS Registry has shown that men with LQT1 have an increase in the risk for any LQT1-related cardiac event, including syncope, during childhood, whereas after the onset of adolescence the risk for events in this population is attenuated without a significant sex difference.6 Because of a limited sample of 243 patients with LQT1, the study did not assess sex-related differences in the risk for only life-threatening cardiac events (ACA or SCD) in this population. Thus, our findings of the present study extend prior observations and show that men with LQT1 display a higher rate of ACA or SCD than do women from birth through age 40 years, with a predominant risk increase during the childhood period.
Patients with LQT1 experience ventricular tachyarrhythmias more frequently during physical effort,2 possibly due to the lack of adaptive QT shortening with decreasing RR intervals during tachycardia.10 Thus, the early predominance of life-threatening cardiac events among men may be related to sex differences in the level of physical activity during childhood among registry patients. After the onset of adolescence, an increase in the levels of testosterone, which was shown to shorten action potential duration and ventricular repolarization,11–13 may result in a reduction in the risk for arrhythmic events in men. This mechanism is supported by the fact that the risk for life-threatening events during childhood was higher among men despite the fact that the average QTc was similar between men and women during this time period, whereas after the onset of adolescence the QTc was significantly reduced in men and remained virtually unchanged in women (Table 1).
Mutations located in the MS region, including the MS domains and the C loops, of the KCNQ1 protein have been associated with greater prolongation in the QTc during exercise14 and an increase in the risk for cardiac events in patients with LQT1.3 Importantly, the C loops were shown to modify the function of KCNQ1 channel subunit, including functional interaction with the auxiliary beta subunits encoded by KCNE1 and modulation of the channel's PKA-dependent, adrenergic regulation.4 Thus, patients who harbor C-loop mutations may be sensitive to even mild degrees of adrenergic stimulation, resulting in arrhythmic events that may occur during less intense physical activity. This mechanism may explain the sex-specific association of mutation location to arrhythmic risk shown in the present study, as women who carry mutations in the adrenergic-sensitive C loops may have an increased risk for life-threatening events even during milder degrees of physical activity. In contrast, participation in more intense physical activity among men with LQT1, especially during childhood, may predispose them to arrhythmic events even among those who carry non–C-loop mutations (which are less sensitive to sympathetic activation). It is also possible that sex differences in the regulation of the ion channel contribute to the differential effect of mutation location/function on arrhythmic risk between men and women.
Similar to prior studies,15–17 we have also shown that QTc is a major risk factor for cardiac events in patients with LQTS. However, our data suggest that in LQT1 the risk associated with QTc is more pronounced among women (who exhibited >6-fold risk with QTc exceeding 500 ms, whereas a significant risk increase among men was evident only among those with QTc >550 ms).
It was suggested recently that patients with LQT1 experience a very low rate of cardiac events during beta-blocker therapy.18 In the present study, medical therapy with beta-blockers was associated with a pronounced reduction in the risk for ACA or SCD in the total LQT1 population, without a statistically significant difference between men and women. However, our findings suggest that sex-specific risk factors should be taken into account in the management of patients with LQT1. These clinical and mutation-related risk factors are shown in Figure 1 of the Supplementary Appendix and include (1) the preadolescence period in men, especially among those who experience syncope during childhood and those with QTc >550 ms, and (2) following the onset of adolescence in women, especially among those with C-loop mutations, QTc ≥500 ms, and/or history of syncope.
Although we have shown recently that the S2–S3 and S4–S5 C-loop linkers have an important functional role in adrenergic channel regulation through PKA,4,5 further studies are needed to relate the functional expression of discrete KCNQ1 mutations to sex-specific risk in LQT1, and their interaction with possible hormonal modulation of cardiac risk in this population.
The present study shows that beta-blocker therapy is associated with a significant reduction in the risk for life-threatening events in both men and women with LQT1. However, because of sample size limitations, we did not evaluate sex-specific differences in response to beta-blocker therapy between patients with LQT1 with higher-risk (and adrenergic-sensitive) C-loop mutations and those with mutations localizing elsewhere. In addition, we did not carry out comprehensive analysis of the relationship between all functional regions of the KCNQ1-encoded protein (including functional areas within the C-terminus or N-terminus domains) and sex-specific risk.
We excluded patients with congenital deafness from the study. However, 12 patients (1%) had 2 different mutations in the KCNQ1 gene. To validate the consistency of the results for patients with single mutations, all multivariate models were repeated after excluding the 12 patients with >1 mutation. This confirmatory analysis yielded virtually identical results regarding the risk associated with clinical factors and mutation location as in the primary analysis. However, because of a small sample of patients with >1 mutation, the current results should be interpreted with caution in the risk assessment of this subset.
Our data extend prior knowledge regarding genotype-specific risk assessment in LQTS.16,17 The present results suggest that the functional effects of mutations in the KCNQ1-encoded channel subunit may explain differences in the risk for life-threatening cardiac events between men and women with LQT1. Here, both men and women with LQT1-causative mutations localizing to the C loops (S2–S3 and S4–S5 linkers), the intracellular domains that connect the MS domains of the KCNQ1-encoded protein, have increased risk for not only LQT1-triggered syncope but also LQT1-triggered life-threatening cardiac events of ACA and SCD, possibly due to the increased sensitivity of these functional domains to adrenergic stimulation. In contrast, men with LQT1 were shown to have an increased risk for ACA or SCD even in the presence of mutations localizing elsewhere predicted at the molecular/cellular level to be associated with lower risk. These findings suggest that a genotypespecific approach, incorporating clinical and mutation location/functional data, might further improve the risk assessment and management of patients with the most common genetic subtype of LQTS.

Acccessing USB Mass Storage on S III
I don't have much info on this as I stumbled onto this by accident but I managed to get USB Mass Storage to work without rooting or programs via a 14 inch long USB cable that I had squirreled away long ago. It doesn't have any numbers just a thin green line running on its center. Its probably from an older Samsung Model cell as the connector was the same and has the little hooks to stay mounted when connected. I've included some photos and hope someone can identify it properly so that others with their S III can rejoice at not having to swap out the card or afraid of rooting their phone.
I hope this helps anyone with their S III!
