Feedstocks: Market overview
Updated to Q1 2017
US ethane prices doubled during the course of 2016, mostly owing to much stronger natural gas and crude oil values. US spot prices began the year at a historical low of 13.50 cents/gal, and traded at 25.00-27.00 cents/gal during the last few weeks of the year.
Demand was limited and supplies were strong when the year began. Export terminals were still under construction, and ethylene plants started the first wave of a heavy turnaround season that lasted most of the year.
However, prices should continue to rise in 2017, as exports and new ethylene plants boost demand. European demand for naphtha as a petrochemical feedstock is expected to be healthy in the first quarter.
The European naphtha market has been seeing exceptionally good demand on the back of high gasoline exports.
The European arbitrage window to Asia opened up in November from the Mediterranean, after being closed for months. The window is expected to stay open in the first quarter of 2017. New condensate splitters in Asia and the Middle East should offer competition going forward.

"Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying"
--Pink Floyd
When did you last see someone's eyes glaze over when you were talking to them?
People misunderstand one another daily. Why? Because we are speaking different languages—and I'm not talking Spanish/English or another combo. We're speaking different languages at a subterranean, subconscious, primal level.
In two recent blogs I wrote about the 3 things human beings crave (safety, belonging, mattering) as well as the power of speaking in meta programs. I've received sooooo many requests for more examples of actual communications that I am dedicating this blog to this crucial topic.
How to Give Someone Safety, Belonging, Mattering via Words
When we communicate and give someone what they crave the results are remarkable… and swift.
- Let's say someone craves safety. You know this because they talk about not feeling safe often, and when they are in their Critter State they take safety away (misery loves company) —and they instill fear in others. Here's wording that validates them and could even talk them "off the ledge": "You are doing everything correctly, thanks for stretching! I've got your back. Reach out to me if I can provide any clarity, brainstorming, support of any kind." With a communication like this the Critter Brain (our fight/flight/freeze response) says "ahhhhhh." Now the risk-averse or fearful person can rise up, take more risks, innovate better, collaborate better. We're helping them shift into their Smart State and feel safe.
- What if someone craves belonging, and they want to feel part of a group and to know they have equal value? First look at how they act in the Critter State—likely they isolate and/or form silos and divisions among people. Here's some belonging messaging: "I'm so glad you're on the team. It's great to have you here. Who could you bring into the loop or mentor to help them succeed too, and to expand our tribe?" You're bringing them the experience of belonging and helping them spread it to others.
- If someone craves mattering they want to feel appreciated and that they are making a difference. Likewise when they are in their Critter State they take mattering away—they make people feel small and invisible/unimportant. Here's some messaging: "You're my top pick to run this project--I totally trust and appreciate you and your contributions and gifts. How can I help you shine?" You're showing them they matter and that you appreciate their talents.
Gimme! How To Ask Someone To Give You What You Crave
Here are three examples when you want to get what you crave, instead of the above where we give others what they crave.
Safety: "I want to be the best [executive/leader/partner/etc] I can be. Could you help me create structures , techniques, processes to foster innovation, safe and sane risk taking, intellectual challenges? I think this could really help us grow and stretch."

Five years, thousands of weddings, dozens of lawsuits, and one tense referendum after gay couples were first allowed to tie the knot in California, the state's Supreme Court is poised to once more decide their future.
A panel of seven judges will announce tomorrow whether Proposition Eight, a same-sex marriage ban approved by a narrow majority of voters in November, should now be tossed out because of claims that it was put to the ballot improperly. The court, which has been considering the matter since March, will also reveal the fate of 18,000 couples who married in a five-month period last year when same-sex weddings were allowed. They have been in legal limbo since.
Most experts expect existing marriages to be upheld, but say the court is unlikely to contravene the democratically expressed wish of a slim majority of Californians by overturning Proposition Eight, which was approved by 52 per cent of voters.
Whatever the verdict, a string of demonstrations is already scheduled tomorrow. If the ban is upheld, organisers of at least one event, at San Francisco's City Hall, say large numbers of attendees plan to be "arrested in civil disobedience".
Gay marriage rivals abortion and gun control among America's most divisive social issues, pitting well-funded lobby groups on the religious Right, who claim it undermines traditional family values, against equally trenchant proponents on the liberal Left.
The issue has prompted angry protests and widespread consumer boycotts. Last month, it even overshadowed the Miss USA pageant, when the runner-up, California's Carrie Prejean, was subjected to a vicious smear campaign after voicing opposition to same-sex unions.
Since Proposition Eight passed, four states – Iowa, Vermont, Maine and Connecticut – have legalised the practice, joining Massachusetts, where it has been legal for several years. Another such law is pending in New Hampshire.
But California, as America's most populous state, is seen as the nation's most important "bellwether". Despite the traditionally liberal leanings of Californians, the state is evenly balanced on the issue, thanks to its large Hispanic population which takes a Catholic view on social issues.
Awaiting the outcome of the challenge to Proposition Eight has been an "an absolutely gut-wrenching experience", Molly McKay, of Marriage Equality USA, told the Associated Press. "As Californians, we are all under tremendous strain worrying about the economy, our jobs and our families," she said. "Gay families have been living for months with the fear that the court will allow a bare majority of voters to strip gay and lesbian families of their constitutional protections."
This turbulent saga began in 2004, when the Mayor of San Francisco, Gavin Newsom, unilaterally decided to begin issuing marriage licences to gay couples in the city. Local courts soon intervened, ruling that Mr Newsom had overstepped his authority. But last May, the State Supreme Court upheld an appeal, deciding that California's constitution provides a "fundamental" right to marry that should extend to all couples, regardless of their orientation.
Thousands of couples were married between May and November last year but new weddings were halted after election day, when Proposition Eight narrowly passed after an $80m (£55m) battle that made it the most expensive ballot measure on a social issue in US history.
The appeal being decided tomorrow revolves around a legal technicality: supporters of gay marriage claim that Proposition Eight changed the state's constitution, and therefore should not have been put to the public vote until it had been approved by two-thirds of the state's lawmakers.
The State's attorney general, Jerry Brown, agreed in March that they have a case under Californian law. But most of those close to the issue do not expect the Supreme Court to look particularly favourably upon it. "The court is very, very reluctant to frustrate the will of the people as demonstrated by their vote," said Gerald Uelman, a law professor and expert on the State Supreme Court. "If they agree [the right to same-sex marriage] is so fundamental that to abolish it revises the constitution, they would have to admit they revised the constitution in the first place."
In the likely event that the court upholds the ban, proponents of gay marriage will try to have it overturned by democratic means, with a fresh ballot measure in either 2010 or 2012. Like voters across the rest of the country, a small majority of Californians remain opposed to gay marriage. But polling data indicates that public attitudes are softening.
Opponents have been the target of fierce protests after November's vote. Tomorrow's ruling may arouse renewed anger, but Protect Marriage, the leading group behind the ban, says it is "looking forward" to the decision. "The wait is finally over," read a statement from its general counsel Andrew Pugno. "We're confident that the right of the people to protect traditional marriage in the state Constitution will ultimately prevail."
Timeline: The battle over same-sex marriages in California
February 2004: Gavin Newsom, Mayor of San Francisco, issues an edict allowing gay marriage. But Arnold Schwarzenegger, California's Republican Governor, faces calls from his party to intervene.
March 2004: The state Supreme Court tells San Francisco to halt same-sex weddings, pending a hearing.
August 2004: Nearly 4,000 gay marriages performed earlier in the year in San Francisco are annulled.
September 2005: Governor Schwarzenegger vetoes a bill making California the first US legislature to approve same-sex marriages.
May 2008: The Supreme Court overturns the ban, deciding it is discriminatory.
November 2008: Opponents of gay marriage win the campaign to ban it, known as Proposition 8, with 52 per cent of votes in referendum.
March 2009: Opposition groups file a request for Supreme Court to block the measure, arguing it is unconstitutional. The decision is due on Tuesday.

Asmussen's Top 50: No. 45 Boise State
Bob Asmussen counts down his top 50 college football teams this upcoming season.
No. 45: Boise State
Coach: Bryan Harsin
2013 record: 8-5
Projected 2014 record: 10-2
Circle the date: Nov. 29 vs. Utah State
Why No. 45: The Broncos had a very un-Boise-like 2013 season. Then, Chris Petersen left to take over at Washington. In steps Harsin, a former offensive coordinator at the school. Born and raised in Boise and a former Broncos quarterback, Harsin has only been a head coach one year, leading Arkansas State to a bowl last season. He welcomes back one of the top returning runners in the country, Jay Ajayi, who scooted for 1,425 yards and 18 touchdowns. Grant Hedrick is the latest in the long line of talented Boise State quarterbacks. The Broncos will rise or fall based on his success.
Previous rankings
No. 46: Fresno State

... We arrived at Reagan alongside a load of veterans. In a typically over the top American style, the airport staff ordered that all passengers stop what they are doing to applaud their arrival. Which is great for those veterans that can afford to fly, but until the Americans open their eyes to the veterans on the street who really need their help - who have no medical assistance, no social welfare and no housing, I refuse to participate in such a false show of respect.

The particle physics knowledge Test
Their result for The particle physics knowledge Test ...
64% Particle Physics Knowledge
1) The Higgs Boson is not a quark. It is a particle not yet observed (but much searched for) that is thought to be responsible for giving particles their mass. The strange quark helped pave the way for the theory of quarks to be formed. Protons and neutrons are made of up and down quarks, so other types of particles that seemed to have a special type of property were called "strange". The top quark is the heaviest of the (known) quarks and the most recently discovered. Beauty is another (less common) name for the bottom quark.
2) CERN is the European Organization for Nuclear Research, located on the border of France and Switzerland. SLAC, Fermi lab, and Brookhaven are all US national labs carrying out a variety of projects.
3) There is no such thing as the "string" force. The fundamental forces are the weak, strong, electromagnetic, and gravitational.
4) A bubble chamber is a way to see particles. It is a vessel filled with liquid where charged particles leave a trails of tiny bubbles. The LHC is the Large Hadron Collider - a particle accelerator - being constructed at CERN. The other two I made up.
5) The above picture is an artist's representation of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). ATLAS is one of the detectors that will look at what happens when the LHC accelerates protons to really high energy and smashes them together.
6) The photon was the first of the listed particles to be experimentally observed. Technically, Einstein received his Nobel Prize for the photoelectric effect which was proof of the particle nature of light. Experimental evidence for the neutrino can be found in common nuclear decays, thought direct detection of neutrinos is incredible difficult. The tau lepton was (unexpectedly) discovered at SLAC in the 1970's. It is similar to the electron, but is heavier. The Higgs Boson has not yet been observed.
7) Neutrinos have been theorized to exist since the 1930's from simple equations of conservation of energy and momentum. However, we still do not know much about them. We think there are 3 types - electron, muon, and tau - but an experiment was just completed to confirm previous results that there might be another type. This experiment (miniBoone) did not find evidence of a 4th type. For a long time neutrinos were thought to not have mass (like the photon) but in in the 1990's evidence was found that they have a small mass. This mass is still unknown. It was thought that neutrinos may make up the majority of dark matter, but we are fairly sure that the mass is too small to account for much dark matter. A big remaining question is whether the neutrino is its own antiparticle. In the case of the neutrino this is a very complicated, but very fundamental, question. There are many experiments currently trying to answer this through something called neutrinoless double beta decay.
8) Magnetic monopoles are not a mainstream research topic now. If even a single one exists there are far reaching implications for many fields of physics. There have been experiments to look for them, but none have conclusively found them. Many of the leading experiments today are trying to learn about dark matter, the higgs boson, and the neutrino.
9) The image is an example of a Feynman Diagram. This simple drawing is a way to simplify an incredibly complicated and difficult equation into a representation of particle interactions.
10) You should want to learn more about the universe! Particle physics is our way to to further the knowledge of humanity. We can find out what the universe was like a mere tiny fraction after the big bang. Why was more matter than antimatter created? Why are there four fundamental forces?

From the author of the Sunday Times best seller Cocaine Nights comes an unnerving tale of life in a modern tower block running out of control.
Within the concealing walls of an elegant forty-storey tower block, the affluent tenants are hell-bent on an orgy of destruction. Cocktail parties degenerate into marauding attacks on "enemy" floors and the once-luxurious amenities become an arena for riots and technological mayhem.
In this visionary tale of urban disillusionment from the renowned author of Crash and Cocaine Nights, society slips into a violent reverse as the isolated inhabitants of the high-rise, driven by primal urges, recreate a dystopian world ruled by the laws of the jungle.
The audiobook of High Rise arrives as interest in the book and J.G. Ballard's work reaches a new peak. The film adaptation of High Rise, directed by Ben Wheatley (Kill List, Sightseers) will be released in September 2015, starring Tom Hiddleston, Jeremy Irons, Sienna Miller, Luke Evans and Elisabeth Moss.
Tom Hiddleston, who is known to millions worldwide for his role as the evil god Loki in the blockbuster Thor and Avengers movies, has lent his voice to this first UK audiobook adaptation of High Rise, which was published in 1975.
J. G. Ballard was born in 1930 in Shanghai, where his father was a businessman. After internment in a civilian prison camp, he and his family returned to England in 1946. He published his first novel, The Drowned World, in 1961. His 1984 bestseller Empire of the Sun won the Guardian Fiction Prize and the James Tait Black Memorial Prize and was shortlisted for the Booker Prize. It was later filmed by Steven Spielberg. His memoir, Miracles of Life, was published in 2008. J. G. Ballard died in 2009.
©1975 J. G. Ballard (P)2015 Audible, Ltd
"Ballard's finest novel.... A triumph" (The Times)
"Another eerie glimpse into the future. A fast-moving, spine-tingling fable of the concrete jungle." (Daily Express)
"A gripping read, particularly if you like your thrills chilly, bloody and with claims to social relevance." (Time Out)
"Great story!"
Being completely honest, I only bought this book because Tom Hiddleston was the narrator. But I'm glad I did, this was an amazing book! I will certainly listen to this again!
"a great thiller, a real page turning "
great story. very patriarchal tho. the female characters needed more development, but it is a product of its time. Very very enjoyable
"Disturbing Fable"
High-Rise is one of the best books by J. G. Ballard, one of the most distinctive and influential writers of the last fifty years. A sort of Lord of the Flies with grown ups it tells of how a luxurious apartment building for affluent professionals descends into savagery as their primal urges overwhelm their veneer of civilization. An important book and well worth experiencing.
My only quibble is the narrator. Tom Hiddleston is a fine actor, a well-known name and the obvious choice as he plays the lead in the forthcoming feature film directed by Ben Wheatley. But I have been slightly spoiled by hearing Sean Barrett and William Gaminara read other works by Ballard for Audible and they are both outstanding interpreters of Ballard and while Hiddleston does a very good job as reader a screen actor turning his hand to reading an audiobook isn't quite as polished as those experts.
"A highly disturbing vision"
I bought this in anticipation of Ben Wheatley's forthcoming film version. Was delighted to find that Tom Hiddleston was the narrator and, given he can seemingly do no wrong, I was not surprised by the strength of his performance. Now I'm even more excited for the film. Highly recommended.
"Brilliantly dark"
A brilliant and disturbing novel about social breakdown among well-heeled residents in an exclusive tower block. Ballard writes with a cool detachment while exposing the darkest desires of the urban middle classes. Well read by Tom Hoddesdon - highly recommended overall
It is very well-read, but the novel itself is a little too pleased with its over easy slide into violence. Lord of the Flies is not a bad analogy, but Golding's may be the truer statement of man's innate tendency to evil. Here, certain beats seem to be missing in order fully to convince that, yes, this is how things turn out when the middle classes and privileged are willingly corralled. Don't they, as a rule, tend to turn on those outside their ivory walls, and not those who share the same space? As nightmares go, this one seems to hit a chord with others I don't quite identify. That said Hiddleston is very good, Ballard is a hypnotic and original eye, and there are some excellent set pieces.
This book reads like an exercise for a sixth form psychology class, or an abstract of a Big Brother reality-type show. The events are unconnected and absurd, the characters are nothing more than place-holders to illustrate the author's concept of human behaviour and the whole thing is delivered in broad exposition about as dull as a 1970s textbook. I was prompted to read the novel having heard Ben Wheatley has adapted it to film; I wish I hadn't bothered.
Great book by Ballard
Great insight into the heart of darkness lurking under our civilisation but also Ballard playing out again in another guise his view of humanity after living through the the Second World War has it affected life in Shanghai as a boy.
Hiddleston is a great narrator
"Lord of the Flies but with adults"
This story taps into the notion that any attempt to engineer lives and build a model community is fraught with problems. The characters occupy a beautiful sky-rise building equipped with swimming pools, shops and everything they need to lead a gracious and happy existence. Their lives should be perfect but sadly humans simply cannot help themselves. It seems that even when a person is highly educated and wealthy, the primitive urges and resentments are always just bubbling under the surface and ready to explode at the slightest provocation. Despite its extreme violence there is nothing in this book that is beyond recognition and that is why it is such an effective and believable nightmare. Let's face it, we have all heard a childless person expressing their dislike of children, parents resenting the lack of tolerance of their darling offspring and the squabbles between pet and non-pet owners when a four legged friend strays onto another's property. Most of this is mundane and forgettable, but occasionally darker events can occur.
This is a story about territory and how our desire to protect it can lead to madness, chaos and the ultimate destruction of the very thing we are trying to guard. It is a great listen, beautifully read by Tom Hiddleston, (who is starring in the up and coming film). If you have just paid a deposit on that dream pad in Canary Wharf, you might want to re-consider after listening to this.
"A chilling alternate reality"
Having recently read this novel in anticipation of Ben Wheatley's film adaptation, it was good to have the opportunity to hear the story read by one of its stars. Hiddleston's reading of the text seems to bring out the unsettling nature of the tale by its very calm clarity. The characterisations and accents of his co-stars are convincingly carried off, and I think that this will be a great companion to the film. This story of anarchy in a high class tower block is not for the faint hearted, and since Ballard's writings are turning out to occasionally be prophetic, it makes you wonder what really goes on behind the closed doors of the rich.
"Typical Ballard"
I should say from the outset that I haven't read Ballard chronologically, but I appreciate that this is quite an early response to the skyscraper phenomenon that informed social housing in the 1970s and might tell us a lot about why vertical living isn't doing urban communities any good. The trouble with this book is that its argument is the same that informs earlier works such as The Drowned World and later works (Crash, Millennium People, Super Cannes): bourgeois mores are a superficial veneer beneath which lurk much more primal needs and desires that any deterioration of circumstances brings to the surface. Gender roles revert under pressure to something approaching the jungle law. Class is ingrained and will always re-establish itself after some pseudo-egalitarian vacuum. Our dependence on machines, technology and concrete blunts our skills and perception until a crisis occurs. We are a naturally violent species. and the protagonist is the same protagonist in most Ballard narratives.
No doubt this is well-written, sharply observed, expertly paced, but I have read this before; only the setting was different.
It is very interesting though, from the point of view of our digital age, that something as banal as an elevator in a high-rise building could become the lynchpin of human resourcefulness and survival. We are now so much more gadget-dependent that Ballard's dystopian vision seems a little over-anxious and a little quaint. We have not (yet) collapsed into a primeval swamp of ineptitude or descended into some existential violence between ghetto-ised tribes of techno-societies. Very little is written now about anxieties surrounding technologies because writers fear the swift obsolescence of their plot devices (Eggers' The Circle about the googlification of the world isn't lukewarm because of his use of technology but because of limp characterisation and clumsy plotting).
I think Ballard's pessimism was well-placed, though. We are violent; that violence does not need to manifest itself in murder and mayhem and the raiding of food shelves in supermarkets. It is now institutionalised in the so-called free market and produces urban social engineering: the rich build, buy, renovate, move in (or not) and push the poor out into peripheral ghettos. No bones broken...
"Good narrator, terrible book"
It honestly feels like a bunch of random events of people going bonkers in their apartments sewn together. I battled to pay attention, and eventually just stopped listening.
Tom Hiddleston is a great actor with perfect narration but the story was just awful.

I've had my Torch 9800 for one week after upgrading from a Bold 9700. I'm happy with the upgrade.
When I completed various tasks I could press "ALL" and all the icons in the home menu screen would drop down. Basically disappear with only a small upward facing triangle remaining below to press and reopen the home screen icons.
Yesterday I uploaded some music mp3 files from my computer onto the Torch. The Torch is extremely limited with sound selections (ring tones) compared to the Bold. Now the phones ALL menu does not disappear completely as previously. I now have my selected wallpaper and 4 icons (text messages, email etc.) on the bottom row.
I know this is a minor detail but ALL the icons disappearing with only an upward pointed triangle was a nice feature leaving full view of my wallpaper on the phone.
I just spent 3 hours trying various procedures and going through the user manual's 300+ pages. Any comments or solutions are appreciated. I tried restoring from back up without success.
Running 6.0 bundle 695 (v22.214.171.124) Platform 126.96.36.199. Thanks.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Tap and drag the bar at the top of the icons - you can drag up (and get 1, 2 or 3 rows of icons) or down (and get down to no icons).
Thank you Recourteau for your prompt solution. That was easy. Kudos to you.

Handmade Halloween Costumes for Serious Foodiesby Emily Lee in Holidays, October 16th, 2015
Skip messy face paint and itchy wigs this Halloween, and dress up like one of your favorite snacks instead with a little inspiration from Amanda Kibler, the wardrobe whiz from Good Eats with Alton Brown. After years of costume design, Kibler has nailed down the recipe for a successful food-themed costume: It must be eye-catching but comfortable, and it needs to be sturdy enough to endure a long night of door-to-door candy collection. That sounds like a tall order to fill, but Kibler's life-size designs for pizza, bacon and more are a cinch to pull together at home. Best of all? Each costume relies on thrifty materials like fleece, felt, foam and cardboard.
For the Small Fry
No ghoulish masks or fake blood here — just some giant golden french fries stuffed inside a life-size carton. Aside from looking adorable, trick-or-treaters will stay plenty warm on the notoriously chilly night of Oct. 31 when they're surrounded by the soft foam fries.

Visit NBCNews.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy
Legendary newsmen Dan Rather and Tom Brokaw appeared on "Today" Friday (Nov. 22), the 50th anniversary of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, to talk about their experiences that fateful day and to show footage from the NBC special airing tonight, "Where Were You: The Day JFK Died."
Rather was actually in Dallas 50 years ago.
"I was headquartered at the CBS affiliate, but at the time of the assassination, I was just past the railroad, over past the underpass, just beyond … where the motorcade was to officially end," says Rather.
"I still remember my mindset," says Brokaw "This doesn't happen in America. This is going to change [everything]."
"We didn't believe assassinations could happen here … we believed that was all in the past," says Rather. "The nation was turning young, with a young, vibrant president."
"It was the arrival of television," adds Brokaw. "He was a very familiar figure to people because he was in their living room every night … people felt a connection to him in some way. … It was so unexpected, he seemed invulnerable to us."
"He was also the first, I would say, Hollywood president," says Rather. "His family had connections to Hollywood. He had this star aura about him. And he was the first president to bring modern, second-half-of-the-20th-century marketing techniques to the presidency."
It's a fascinating interview with the long-time reporters, definitely worth a watch.

Tfe3 (show TFE3 Proteins) overexpression in HSPCs impaired long-term hematopoietic reconstitution in vivo, recapitulating the Flcn KO phenotype, and supporting the notion that abnormal activation of Tfe3 (show TFE3 Proteins) contributes to the Flcn KO phenotype. Flcn KO mice develop an acute histiocytic hyperplasia in multiple organs, suggesting a novel function for Flcn in macrophage development
mTOR (show FRAP1 Proteins) inhibitor, sirolimus, suppresses the tumor's growth, suggesting that mTOR (show FRAP1 Proteins) inhibitors might be effective in control of FLCN-deficient RCC (show XRCC1 Proteins).
we show that glycogen (show GYS1 Proteins) accumulates in kidneys from mice lacking FLCN and in renal tumors from a BHD patient
Fnip1 and Fnip2 (show FNIP2 Proteins) play critical roles in kidney tumor suppression in cooperation with Flcn
Folliculin (Flcn) inactivation leads to murine cardiac hypertrophy through mTORC1 deregulation.
The FLCN-GABARAP (show GABARAP Proteins) association is modulated by the presence of either folliculin-interacting protein (FNIP)-1 or FNIP2 (show FNIP2 Proteins) and further regulated by ULK1 (show ULK1 Proteins).
Flcn regulates apoptosis in lung epithelium via E-cadherin (show CDH1 Proteins)-LKB1 (show STK11 Proteins)-AMPK (show PRKAA1 Proteins) axis.
loss of FLCN constitutively activates AMPK (show PRKAA1 Proteins), resulting in PGC-1alpha-mediated mitochondrial biogenesis and increased ROS (show ROS1 Proteins) production
These data support a model in which dysregulation of the FLCN-p0071 (show PKP4 Proteins) interaction leads to alterations in cell adhesion, cell polarity, and RhoA (show RHOA Proteins) signaling.
FLCN deficiency and subsequent increased PPARGC1A expression result in increased mitochondrial function and oxidative metabolism as the source of cellular energy, which may drive hyperplastic transformation.
We identified a hitherto unreported pathogenic FLCN frameshift deletion c.563delT (p.Phe188Serfs*35) in a family of a 46-year-old woman presented with macrohematuria due to bilateral chromophobe renal carcinomas
FLCN irregulation in lung cysts of primary spontaneous pneumothorax is not associated with promoter methylation.
Case Report: FLCN deletion mutation in members of Indian Birt-Hogg-Dube syndrome family.
This report documents the first identification of founder mutations in FLCN, as well as expands mutation spectrum of the gene
FLCN-related renal cell carcinomas showed overexpression of GPNMB and underexpression of FLCN, whereas sporadic tumors showed inverted patterns.
Two predominant genes, ephrin type A receptor 6 (EPHA6 (show Epha6 Proteins)) and folliculin (FLCN), with mutations exclusive to African American CRCs, are by genetic and biological criteria highly likely African American CRC (show CALR Proteins) driver genes.
Findings suggest that folliculin deficient renal cell carcinoma (show MOK Proteins) cells are highly sensitive to irradiation due to increased autophagic cell death, unlike other types of renal cell carcinoma (show MOK Proteins).
This gene is located within the Smith-Magenis syndrome region on chromosome 17. Mutations in this gene are associated with Birt-Hogg-Dube syndrome, which is characterized by fibrofolliculomas, renal tumors, lung cysts, and pneumothorax. Alternative splicing of this gene results in two transcript variants encoding different isoforms.

Necklaces are believed to be as old as 40,000 years, during the Stone Age. The oldest necklaces were made of purely natural materials - before weaving and the invention of string, durable vines or pieces of animal sinew left over from hunts were tied together and adorned with shells, bones or teeth or colourful skins of human prey animals, bird feathers, corals, carved pieces of wood, colorful seeds or stones or naturally occurring gems, or other beautiful or artful natural elements found nearby.

Originally, rhinestones were rock crystals gathered from the river Rhine, hence the name, although some were also found in areas like the Alps. The availability was greatly increased in the 18th century when the Alsatian jeweller Georg Friedrich Strass had the idea to imitate diamonds by coating the lower side of glass with metal powder. Hence, rhinestones are called strass in many European languages.

Prior to the introduction of plastics, ivory had many ornamental and practical uses, mainly because of the white color it presents when processed. It was formerly used to make cutlery handles, billiard balls, piano keys, Scottish bagpipes, buttons and a wide range of ornamental items.
Synthetic substitutes for ivory in the use of most of these items have been developed since 1800: the billiard industry challenged inventors to come up with an alternative material that could be manufactured; the piano industry abandoned ivory as a key covering material in the 1970s.

Being a phosphate mineral, turquoise is inherently fragile and sensitive to solvents; perfume and other cosmetics will attack the finish and may alter the colour of turquoise gems, as will skin oils, as will most commercial jewellery cleaning fluids. Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight may also discolour or dehydrate turquoise. Care should therefore be taken when wearing turquoise jewellery. Cosmetics, including sunscreen and hair spray, should be applied before putting on a turquoise piece of jewellery. Also, you should not wear it to a beach or other sun-bathed environment. After use, turquoise should be gently cleaned with a soft cloth to avoid a buildup of residue, and should be stored in its own container to avoid scratching by harder gems. Turquoise can also be adversely affected if stored in an airtight container.

Sharp Said to Delay Share Sale on Growth ConcernsMonami Yui and Grace Huang
Sharp Corp. will delay a plan to raise about 100 billion yen ($1 billion) from public and private share sales because of concern with the company's growth prospects, two people with knowledge of the matter said.
The supplier of screens to Apple Inc. is postponing the plan by about two months until November, one of the people said, asking not to be identified because the matter is private. The Osaka-based company needs more time to develop its growth strategy, the person said.
Competition in liquid-crystal displays and flat-panel TVs drove Sharp to back-to-back losses totaling 921 billion yen in the past two financial years, during which the ratio of equity to total assets fell to 6 percent from 35.6 percent. The 100-year-old company has previously raised funds selling minority stakes to Samsung Electronics Co. and Qualcomm Inc.
"In order to attract investors, Sharp needs to have a growth story to tell, preferably for a period or three years or more," said Junya Ayada, an analyst at Daiwa Securities Co. in Tokyo.
Sharp had planned to raise about 100 billion yen through a share sale to investors in September, people familiar with the matter said earlier this month. Makita Corp. and Lixil Group Corp. may buy stakes worth 10 billion yen each, one of the people said.
Sharp is considering ways to raise capital, including a public offering and third-party allocation of shares, while no decisions have been made, it said in an Aug. 1 filing.
Miyuki Nakayama, a spokeswoman for Sharp, declined to comment today on any potential public offering.
Equity Sales
Shares of Sharp fell 0.8 percent to 397 yen in Tokyo trading. The shares have climbed 31 percent so far this year, while Japan's benchmark Topix index has gained 30 percent.
Companies have raised more than $32 billion in share sales in Japan this year, compared with $23 billion for all of last year, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
Dentsu Inc., the Japanese advertising company that bought U.K.'s Aegis Group Plc. in March, raised $1.2 billion in a July offering. Suntory Beverage & Food Ltd. and Olympus Corp. are also among the companies that raised funds through share sales this year, the data show.
Operating Loss
Earlier this month, Sharp reported a net loss of 18 billion yen in the three months ended June, narrower than the 138 billion-yen loss a year earlier. The maker of screens for the iPhone 5 and iPad was projected to post a loss of 24 billion yen, according to the median estimate of three analysts surveyed by Bloomberg News.
Operating profit, or sales minus the cost of goods sold and administrative expenses, totaled 3 billion yen for the quarter, compared with a loss of 94 billion yen a year earlier, the company said. Sales rose 33 percent to 608 billion yen.
The operating loss at the LCD unit narrowed to 9.5 billion yen during the quarter from a loss of 63.5 billion yen a year earlier, according to the company.
The audio-visual and telecommunications unit, which sells TVs and mobile phones, also narrowed its loss, while the solar-panel division turned profitable during the quarter, Sharp said Aug. 1.
Sharp has 200 billion yen of convertible bonds maturing this year, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Its debt was cut to junk by Fitch Ratings Ltd. and Standard & Poor's last year.
The company is forecasting net income of 5 billion yen for the year to March 2014, its first annual profit in three years, after job cuts. Sharp sold a stake in its largest LCD plant to Taiwanese billionaire Terry Gou last year to boost sales through his Foxconn Technology Group, the world's biggest contract manufacturer of electronics.

City Correspondent
Laura Ashley confirmed its investors' worst fears yesterday when it issued a long-expected profits warning and announced the closure of two of its factories in Wales with the loss of almost 200 jobs.
The severity of the announcement caused dismay in the City as the company said it would record a pounds 4.5m loss at the half-year stage and would only break even at the full year.
The warning, which included fresh disappointment about a slowdown in home furnishings sales, will intensify the pressure on Ann Iverson, the company's American chief executive who was paid pounds 1m last year, to step down. She was appointed 18 months ago to revive the ailing company's fortunes.
Laura Ashley has had a dreadful few months, with a string of senior executives, including design and buying director Basha Cohen, leaving the group. Now Ms Iverson has been forced to put US expansion plans, the central part of her new strategy, on hold. The shares, which have been as high as 220p in the past 12 months, closed a penny lower at 55.5p.
Nick Bubb, retail analyst at Societe Generale Strauss Turnbull, said: "It's pretty hopeless. It is a very real shortfall and there is no hint of an apology."
Another analyst said Ms Iverson's position was looking increasingly vulnerable: "She's paid a lot of money and she's made a lot of mistakes. Where is the accountability? If the business is not pointing in the right direction by next spring she will have to think again."
Ms Iverson said yesterday that she was determined to stay at the company and see her strategy through: "I am deeply committed and I believe the strategy is right. The potential of the brand has not been realised."
She said she did not regret returning to Britain from her native America to take the job: "Absolutely not. I believe the brand has potential but the scale of the problems were greater than anticipated."
Ms Iverson said Sir Bernard Ashley, Laura Ashley's widow, whose family speaks for 35 per cent of the group, had not discussed taking the group private. She said both Sir Bernard and the Japanese group Jusco, which also owns a substantial stake, were supportive of the strategy.
Ms Iverson will receive a pay cut to just her basic salary of pounds 450,000 this year as the performance of the company is too poor to trigger bonus payments
The pounds 4.5m first-half loss will include a pounds 1m charge for the closure of two garment sewing factories in Wales at Caernarfon and Machynlleth. The company will increase sourcing from overseas, though two other garment factories in Wales are unaffected.
The decision was criticised both by the unions, who blamed the closures on poor management, and the local mayor, William Jones, who said it was a devastating blow to local employment: "The saddest thing is that there is nothing else here. There is no other work for these girls."
Laura Ashley blamed its profits warning on a slowdown in sales following a return to full-price retailing, continued below-budget sales in new stores in the United States and a pounds 2m advertising campaign in America.
Laura Ashley will not open any further stores in the US until the new store performance improves. Ms Iverson said the company would continue to offer women's wear, children's wear and home furnishings. "The breadth of the brand is not the issue. It is the infrastructure," she said.
The company's systems have not been able to ensure that the right product reached the right locations at the right time. Group like-for-like sales were 11 per cent up in the six months to 26 July. However, adjusting the figures for currency effects brings the total to 5 per cent.
The company has been affected by boardroom departures, including its merchandising director and UK finance director. An announcement on the design appointment will be made soon.

Screen Capture - Mac
- Status Closed
- Budget $30 - $250 USD
- Total Bids 3
Project Description
Sorry for those of you who bid on my other project. I didn't notice the budget. All I'm looking for is someone to screen capture some videos with a Mac. You must have a fast internet connection so there is no buffering of the videos. The videos average 1 hour 20 minutes on the web. It probably takes 5 minutes initially to set up some free software (Soundflower) and if you have a Mac, you already have QuickTime Pro. Then for each video, it's just a matter of logging into a website, changing the sound to output to Soundflower, start the QTP screen capture, start the videos, then make sure to monitor initially to make sure there's no buffering and make sure to stop it when it ends (don't want extra time at the end). Or you can edit the video at the end to remove any extra time. Then you would upload the video. The actual time spent is not that much, but it does end up occupying your machine for the duration of the screen capture unless you have a wide screen and can do other work in a different part of the screen.
So for the $30 budget, please say how many videos you could do. I really would need about 2 videos ASAP and one every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday (when the videos are uploaded, 1 day after streaming live). Or you could watch the videos live during the times when they're streaming and those are specific times on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, which I have to look up. Right now I need some recorded ones screen captured.
One more thing, my id says I'm from India but I'm really from the U.S. traveling in India right now.

In addition to native regional traditions like Viennese cuisine, Austrian food has been influenced by Hungarian, Czech, Jewish, Italian and Bavarian cuisines. Austria has one of the most transcultural cuisines in Europe.
Austria's specialities originate from all countries of the former monarchy: Hungary, Bohemia, Italy.... They were perfected here, turned into joys for the eyes and the taste-buds. The expression of a joie de vivre that is equally to be found in a simple corner cafe or a luxury restaurant.
The food is the main thing wherever you are: Schnitzel and Tafelspitz. Kaiserschmarren and Powideltascherl. Vienna is a city of gourmets. The dishes are works of art, created by true enthusiasts. Poetic combinations of flour and sugar, like Sachertorte, Gugelhupf or Apfelstrudel. It's literally "o dolce vita" at the cake shops.
Rolled pastry filled with apple, breadcrumbs and raisins.
Roast beef with bacon.
A special Viennese cake. the ideal accompaniment to a Melange and an essential ingredient of Viennese afternoon coffee.
Kaiserschmarren (Emperor's Trifle)
A kind of desert omelet (or fluffy pancake) torn with two forks.
Light fluffy dumplings which contain seven basic ingredients: flour, potatoes, semolina, bread rolls, ricotta, cheese and yeast.
Deep fried pastries, like doughnuts.
A chocolate cake made according to a traditional recipe developed by Franz Sacher.
Prime beef from the rump boiled and garnished with horseradish and apple sauce, chive sauce, served with home-fried or roast potatoes.
Wiener Schnitzel
Veal cutlet breaded and fried.
Braised beefsteak with onions.
Stewed plums.

There are many storms in life. Even good storms, like weddings, take their toll. Jesus in his teaching on the Wise and Foolish builders clearly spells out that the storm comes to both types of builders. But the quality of the product they built, and more importantly, the foundation on which it is built, makes all the difference in life.
The Care Ministry at Faith Community Church is committed to helping our people build the right foundation in their lives, to providing resources before, during and after the storms have come and guiding our people through these storms closer to Jesus. This section of the website helps you understand how and why we work. It describes the available resources, ways to connect with them and even getting involved with them.
From the outset though, we want you to know that the best resource we have to offer is prayer. Prayer is our first, last and best resource, so no matter the storm in your life we highly recommend gathering some people around you to pray for you, for the situation and for the solutions God is providing. Explore our prayer resources by clicking on the Prayer Resources link in the sidebar.
Our mission is to equip leaders to care for those they lead and guide those needing individualized care to a place of wholeness in Christ.
Faith Community Church is living out an approach to care whereby we are compassionately devoted to one another, exceedingly generous toward each others real needs, and joyfully reliant on Christ in giving and receiving care.
Focus Here First, Everyone Cares, Equal Relationship, Stewardship, and Discipleship
