I have trouble stabilizing the framerate of the Metroid Prime games using Ubershaders.
They generally run very well, but occasionally have a bit of trouble.
I am currently busy with measuring how much resources dolphin requires for these games of the system. Although it does not seem to be all that much.
What I am currently wondering, are there certain requirements to make Ubershaders work more smoothly in general?
Since the GPU core and memory are not close to being full, I suspect more complex things like the bus bandwidth are more important to Ubershaders.
I already tried to look up on the internet whether this question has been answered before, but the closest I came was 'get a beefy computer'.
Your system should be able to handle hybrid ubershaders, or "Ubershaders (Asynchronous)" on latest builds. "Ubershaders (Synchronous)" will be far too much for your GPU.
Also, check that your internal resolution settings are reasonable. I would guess your GPU can't push more than 3x in Dolphin without lagging in some games. and Metroid is a great GPU stresser.
One of the reasons why you may not see 100% GPU utilisation even when your GPU is the bottleneck is that the GPU has to spend a considerable amount of time waiting for the CPU to tell it what to do, so it may only be busy 60% of the time, but still not be done rendering a frame before the screen needs it.
Since when a GTX 950 too little for Synchronous Ubershaders? Sure, at 3x IR it'll probably be terrible, but at 1x or 2x IR it should be plausible.

But I guess it depends on which 950 you have - the 1024 shader version may be faster than the 768 shader one, and the laptop version will likely be quite a bit slower than that.

Thanks for the information. I will play around with the resolution a bit more.
I always play on lowest on my laptop (not the listed specs) and never saw that much of an improvement, but it is worth a try.

So fast communication between CPU and GXF is crucial? I suppose only the motherboard or faster RAM can improve this?
Yeah I will look into the resolution.
Metroid is among the hardest games to get right, from what I have read an experienced.
the 950 is a desktop version, altough it wasnt the most expensive rebrand around. There is a good chance it only has 768 shader units.

No, I think he means that the GPU has to wait for the CPU to finish processing stuff before it can render it so that lowers your utilization average.

On the Talk show: "protests and pandemic, the 'Dress doctor's' diagnosis"
This weekend is father's day weekend, but it's also the weekend of….JUNETEENTH, the holiday commemorating the abolition of slavery in the United States. The past few weeks have been heavy for humankind. In the midst of a pandemic, protests broke out following the tragic death of George Floyd. His final words, "I can't breathe," became a cry for justice around the world.
As a storyteller, a journalist, my instinct was to bring someone on my talk show from the black community that could speak to the ongoing issue of racial injustice better than I ever could. That's why I decided to chat with the pioneer of Fashion Psychology, Dawnn Karen this week on the Instagram LIVE edition talk show, Keeping it Krischic.
Pioneer of Fashion Psychology, Dawnn Karen discusses protests and the pandemic from a psychological perspective.
A post shared by Kristin Vartan | Krischic (@keepingitkrischic) on Jun 10, 2020 at 3:54pm PDT
In addition to being the founding mother of the fashion psychology field, Karen is the author of one of my latest quarantine reads, "Dress for Your Best Life." The "Dress Doctor" (a moniker via The New York Times) uses clothes as a medium to truly help the person inside of them. Her book delves deep into style's effect on the psyche, including cultural implications like identity, the dangers of microaggressions, and cultural appropriation. Watch the full Instagram live above via IGTV!
The Story Behind the Style:
If you read, Dawnn Karen's book, Dress For Your Best Life, you'll find a fascinating chapter the about way wearing certain colors can impact your mood. I wanted to set the right tone with my outfit for this conversation while also embodying strength for a heavier dialogue. As Karen writes, green is an equal power color to red, but can "send a less threatening message of strength and prestige." The forest-evoking hue also "symbolizes stability and trust." This was the energy I wanted to bring to to the interview. It definitely helps that the frock came in an adorable vintage midi cut with a '60s neckline (an unintentional head nod to the Civil Rights era, by the way. Perhaps that is just another testament to fashion psychology. The wardrobe decision was in my style subconscious).

Idaho Gov. Brad Little (R) on Tuesday (April 9) signed a bill to implement the state's voter-approved Medicaid expansion but expressed concerns about a controversial provision that seeks to add work requirements to people in the expansion population.
The Alliance for Site Neutral Payment Reform, along with the Brookings Institution and the American Enterprise Institute, are pushing lawmakers to get rid of the exemptions to off-campus hospital facility site-neutral pay policies, and while some lobbyists don't expect such policy shift would move on its own, they say there's a possibility it could come up later in the year as a way to help pay for a larger health care package.
Lawmakers in Maryland passed a scaled-back bill late Monday (April 8) that would create a board to review the affordability of prescription drugs, and potentially set ceilings for government payment of certain high-cost drugs.
A bill that would add work requirements to Idaho's voter-approved Medicaid expansion is on the desk of Idaho Gov. Brad Little (R) after weeks of disagreement among state lawmakers over how the work requirements should function.
CMS and Alaska have discussed making Alaska the first state to receive Medicaid funding through block grants, and the state's governor asked President Donald Trump to support CMS Administrator Seema Verma in implementing the idea.
Community health centers in states that have expanded Medicaid are more financially stable and are more able to invest in behavioral-health services and value-based care more than are centers in states that have not expanded their programs, the Commonwealth Fund said in a survey released Thursday (April 4).
The Trump administration intends to take the fight over the legality of Medicaid work requirements to a federal appellate court, the agency indicated in court papers filed this week.
The HHS Office of Inspector General (OIG) will investigate whether CMS Administrator Seema Verma's reported use of millions in taxpayer money to boost her public image through contracts awarded to Republican consultants violated federal regulations and ethics rules, according to a letter from the inspector general posted to Twitter Friday (April 5) by House Energy & Commerce Chair Frank Pallone (D-NJ).
Senate health committee leader Lamar Alexander (R-TN) said Thursday (April 4) he hopes to bring a wide-ranging legislative package to reduce health care costs before his committee by June or July based on more-than 400 recommendations he received from provider groups, policy experts, health plans and others.

Q: Executing a command-line .exe file I have a .exe file converted from a .jar.
It is a command based application, so I have to start it with a batch script. Here is the batch script:
@echo off
cd C:\desktop\plant-text-adventure-win
start planttextadventure
pause

When I double click on the batch script, this happens: Windows could not find 'planttextadventure'.  Please confirm if you have input the correct name and retry.
I don't know what is happening, I have no idea about cmd as I use Mac, but I can confirm I have an executable called planttextadventure.exe in a folder called plant-text-adventure-win.

A: You should test your batch file by executing it within a shell.
Simply enter within the start menu the command cmd to open up a shell. Within this black box you could now simply enter the commands from your batch script and lookout for some error message.
If you look at your script I would guess that the cd command (to change the current directory) is not correct. Maybe you should replace it with
cd %USERPROFILE%\Desktop\plant-text-adventure-win

because the desktop folder is on a default installation not directly under the root drive but within the user profile available.
Another solution to get this thing to work, is by opening the windows explorer, going to the .exe file you wish to execute and drag & drop the .exe file with a right mouse click onto the desktop.
Then a context menu appears and you select the option Create shortcut here.

Donuts for breakfast and dessert after dinner – sugar is often the first, and last, substance people reach for in any given day. While there is no scientific or medical consensus about the issue of food addiction, some studies have shown that sugar prompts a strong response in the brain similar to that seen in individuals who are addicted to drugs and alcohol. This means that when it comes to sugar, people are more likely to consume too much, have cravings and experience symptoms of withdrawal when avoiding sweets.
We all know that sugar can be delicious, but what isn't obvious is that it's chock full of calories. Not only that, but it does very little to satisfy your hunger. These two factors combined make it easy to consume far too many calories when you're not making a conscious effort to avoid sugary snacks. When the amount of calories consumed greatly outweighs the amount that are burned on any given day, the average person will slowly gain weight over time – and eating excess sugar is one of the easiest ways to create that imbalance.
A high sugar intake can increase the body's demand for the hormone insulin. This hormone plays a powerful role in the human body, helping it to convert food into usable energy. Consistently high insulin levels reduce the body's response to the hormone, leading to symptoms such as fatigue, hunger and high blood pressure. When insulin resistance becomes chronic, an individual will develop Type 2 Diabetes, a treatable, but potentially fatal, condition.

Q: Best way to split files into UDP packet sized chunks for peer to peer file sharing? I'm working on a P2P file sharing program and in order to pass the files in small bits I need to split the uploaded file somehow.
Now, I've made a program that splits a file into small files and puts them in a folder using C# Stream class, and it can also rebuild it. However, it's inefficient and takes a lot of time. I thought of reading the data from the stream with an offset according to the requested file and then sending it without saving. However, I don't know how to add it to the receiving end at the right order as the data will not be sent in order.
On a side note, how does bitTorrent do that kind of functionality?
thanks

A: The receiver needs to store the chunks. The sender does not. Probably, you should create the entire file on the receiver zero initialized on disk. Then, you can fill in the holes as you receive them. You need a separate structure to track what ranges are there yet, for example a List<Tuple<int, int>>.

Damyean Dotson finally plays again and comes up big
Marc Berman
Social Links for Marc Berman
November 28, 2018 3:09am
More On: new york knicks
Knicks coach not feeling excess pressure from James Dolan
DETROIT — There was a Damyean Dotson sighting Tuesday night. And it was a sight for sore eyes.
Proving plenty to New York Knicks coach David Fizdale, Dotson, who had not played a minute in the previous four games, was summoned early in the second half, with Mario Hezonja in foul trouble.
In 23 minutes, Dotson pumped in 17 points on 6-of-8 shooting, including a perfect 3-for-3 from the 3-point line in the Knicks' 115-108 loss to the Pistons. It was the lone bright spot to a messy shooting night in Motor City as Dotson kept the Knicks within single digits within the final minutes.
"You're always right there even if you haven't played a game or two,'' Fizdale said. "He stepped up big time. That's what you call a pro. Keeping yourself ready and not let yourself get down and when your number is called, you go and produce. Dot's a big-time pro. He's a guy I really trust in."
Road-weary Knicks come up short as win streak is snapped
Dotson's recent stretch of inactivity caused two teams to contact the Knicks about his availability, The Post reported. The Knicks have until July 15 to guarantee Dotson's pact for next season. He was drafted by Phil Jackson with the 44th pick in 2017.
"It's a lot of preparation when you're not playing,'' Dotson said. "I try to get the same amount of work in if I was playing with the strength and conditioning coaches, staying true to myself."
Dotson entered Tuesday with 35 seconds left in the half, played six seconds and was pulled. But Dotson got in almost right away in the second half, coming in with 11:09 left in the third.
"I took the open ones and tried to be aggressive from the get-go,'' Dotson said. "A lot of guys were missing easy ones. I felt the spark had to come from somewhere."
Asked how surprised he was not to play for four games after doing well previously as a starter, Dotson said, "Coach has preached to me the process anyone can play, stay ready, rotations change."
Dotson's banishment coincided with Fizdale's decision to start Hezonja the past five games despite his lackluster offense.
Hezonja has scored just 16 points in those five games, but Fizdale said he has stuck with him because of his defense. The cold-shooting Croatian is at 37.7 percent and didn't take a shot Tuesday until the third quarter.
According to Fizdale, Hezonja is suddenly doing the little things on defense.
"He's really competing defensively," Fizdale said. "His size at that position has been helping us. But he really has been taking the challenge defensively for us. Every film session since he's been starting, there's four or five clips on the edit of him doing something really well defensively."

It's Fashion Week in NYC again, and I will be covering a few select shows this season.
This morning was hot and humid in Manhattan, in an effort to compensate for the past two mild months of summer. Timo Weiland showcased their menswear line for Spring/Summer 2015 at the High Line Hotel, which is a gorgeous venue you'd want to marvel at for hours...unless it was 110% humidity inside with no A/C. No matter how many cold flavored seltzer waters they handed out, my body was overheating and my little iPhone lens attachment kept fogging up, involuntarily adding a glamour filter. This collection is approachable and chic, but honestly, I've been enjoying it more from the comfort of my air-conditioned desk.
How is this guy surviving the heat?
Look out for man-stripes next spring.

Reconnecting Europe's Waterfronts: The Valencian Experience
Dima Yankova
WaterfrontsLighter Quicker CheaperEconomic Development
From Lisbon to Genoa and from Rotterdam to Marseille, coastal cities around Europe struggle to dismantle the industrial age barriers that have historically segregated the port from the rest of the city. For many of these places with deep maritime roots, the present challenge lies in repairing the urban fabric, which ties together a historic waterfront to a growing inner city. There is a misperception that harbors have become simply urban islands with underutilized common space, crowded cranes, and abandoned warehouses. While reviving the port-city synergy is no easy task, there are many examples of good practice that counter these misconceptions and provide important insights. In this piece we will focus on a recent success story, from the Spanish port city of Valencia.
La Marina de Valencia | Image by Consorci València 2007
Marked by the controversial legacy of a few white elephant projects like the 2007 America's Cup and the 2008–2012 Formula 1 Grand Prix, until recently La Marina de Valencia (not to be confused with the current industrial port of the city) was considered to be too distant, unattractive, and segregated from adjacent neighborhoods. But in 2016, Consorcio Valencia 2007 (CV07), the primary institution responsible for managing La Marina, launched a new strategic plan, which decisively steered away from the business-as-usual model. Instead of seeking grand-scheme investments at all cost, the new approach engages the power of smaller-scale interventions and "soft" tactics—focusing on uses and programming—to revive the area. So far, the idea of well-planned "lighter, quicker, cheaper" actions has yielded promising results.
La Pérgola in La Marina | Image by Consorci València 2007
Take for example the renovation of La Pérgola—a small concert venue in the northern part of La Marina, which was built in the 1990s. At first sight, La Pérgola looks like a miniscule speck in the grand landscape of the Valencian waterfront, but in reality it occupies a very special place in the collective memory of the local community. For many years it was the stage of traditional music societies of the Poblats Marítims district. Preparations for America's Cup put the venue "on standby," and subsequent institutional neglect caused the site to lose its original function and meaning.
In 2017, CV07 made a modest investment to refurbish La Pérgola by repairing the rooftop, applying a fresh layer of paint, restoring the lighting system, and removing the concrete blocks, metal fences, and other barriers that surrounded the stage. The next step was to invite back the original performers, local brass bands from the Poblats Marítims district, for a new cycle of public concerts. As the site drew bigger and bigger crowds, CV07 began drafting a more comprehensive music program, featuring aspiring and established musicians from all styles and genres. In order to keep the concerts free to the public, CV07 created a successful public-private partnership with Cervezas Alhambra, a Spanish beer company, which agreed to finance the cultural program and provide light beverages for the visitors on site. With a small, well-targeted investment and an effective partnership, La Pérgola was transformed from an idle and obsolete piece of infrastructure into an active, living and breathing space, which knits together tradition, heritage, and a revived sense of community.

Another notable example of the "lighter, quicker, cheaper" approach is the preliminary low-cost restoration of Tinglado 2—a historic open-air shed with authentic modernist architecture. Following the two blockbuster events in 2007 and 2008, Tinglado 2 was, like many other buildings, left in disrepair, leading to the closure of the entire space due to safety reasons. At the end of 2016, however, CV07 ordered the installation of a protective net underneath the roof and on the sides of the building, which made it once again suitable for public use.
Since this simple intervention, Tinglado 2 has gradually become an impromptu public square. Its smooth floor attracted skaters, cyclists, athletes, and even dancers who quickly appropriated the space using it to practice and exercise. Furthermore, local musicians started showing up spontaneously for open-air rehearsals. Since Tinglado 2 is situated right by the water and far enough from residential areas, they can play without fear of disturbing the neighbors. In fact, their rehearsals often draw an audience and provide casual entertainment for visitors passing by.
Of course, this organic evolution of the space of Tinglado 2 did not pass unnoticed. CV07 commissioned a study on the uses of the shed since its reopening, including number of daily visitors, modes of transportation, group size, and so on, and collected additional qualitative data through more than 300 on-site surveys. All of the information gathered in the process, from both visitors and permanent residents, was used to draft a specific plan for the complete rehabilitation of Tinglado 2 as a public square together with the area around it, which includes some 120 parking spots. The proposal was recently approved and CV07 was granted the necessary funding to carry out the transformation project by the second half of 2019. The revitalization of Tinglado 2 as an open pedestrian-friendly public square is yet another vivid example of the power of modest, well-calculated interventions and the need to pay close attention to the interests of citizens and the spontaneous ways in which they appropriate public spaces.
In line with the soft tactics approach, La Marina de Valencia has also put a strong emphasis on bolstering the connection between innovation, community engagement, and public space. Take for instance the 2016 Civic Factory Festival: organized by CV07 in collaboration with CivicWise, the event lasted for a month and featured a variety of workshops, open discussions, networking activities, and urban planning exercises, all designed to strengthen the dialogue between citizens, public administration, academia, and the private sector. Equally important was the decision to host the Festival in Alinghi—a symbolic building constructed during the 2007 America's Cup but one that has remained mostly vacant since the end of the race. The organizers' idea to use a modest investment to refurbish and reopen Alinghi for the Civic Factory Festival symbolized a clear commitment to reenergizing the harbor's underused common spaces in the interest of creating an open and inclusive innovation ecosystem. Alinghi is strategically located right next to a set of buildings, which are also dedicated to entrepreneurship—EDEM business school and Lanzadera start-up accelerator. Some short distance down the waterfront is Bankia Fintech by Insomnia, the first business incubator that specializes in financial tech in Spain, which occupies another one of the old buildings left empty after the America's Cup.
Altogether these innovation hubs form a network, which fosters an entrepreneurship-friendly environment in La Marina de Valencia. Yet, unlike most innovation districts that we've seen across many cities, this one is embracing its surroundings as a valuable asset by reusing the existing infrastructure, connecting to the public spaces around it, and opening up to the local community through events like the Civic Factory Festival. In other words, innovation at La Marina is integrated in the local landscape, rather than isolated. The idea is to avoid the ghettoization of the district as an urban island that is accessible solely by car, and exclusively dedicated to selected technological companies. Instead, innovation at La Marina de Valencia is visible, accessible, and open to the public.

Despite all these transformation processes, one might still wonder, can small, cheap fixes and an increased focus on innovation truly achieve the reintegration of the waterfront into the dynamic city environment?
The answer from Valencians has been a resounding "yes." In 2017, La Marina de Valencia experienced an 80% increase in visitors and a 30% increase in revenue. A study into the satisfaction of visitors, commissioned by CV07 and executed by the Dutch Consultancy Company AtAdlerAdvisory, found that about 72% of residents and 86% of visitors rate their experience in La Marina de Valencia as either good or excellent. But what speaks most to the success of the new strategy is the pride and ownership that local residents express toward their iconic harbor. The sight of parents bringing their children to skate in Tinglado 2, an elderly couple enjoying a Sunday concert, or a group of friends coming along for one of the many open innovation events is enough to convince most skeptics that Valencia's harbor is experiencing its own kind of transformation.
The Valencian example makes it worth considering whether big investments and redevelopments are always the right way to reintegrate European waterfronts into their surrounding cities. Of course there is no single formula for success, but perhaps in some cases the key to restoring the broken urban tissue lies in the opposite—building up soft infrastructure, and making small, catalytic investments in place.

IF YOU were on the Gold Coast on Sunday you would have been forgiven for thinking you were in Hollywood.
The streets of Broadbeach were jam-packed with keen movie enthusiasts dressing up as their favourite characters for the Supanova pop culture convention's Cosplay (costume play) parade.
David Hasselhoff led the parade in Kitt, the car made famous in popular flick Knight Rider, along with Darth Vader, Wolverine and Chewbacca.
But there were stacks more characters holding up traffic on the Gold Coast Hwy.
Terranora's Amanda Spinks dressed as Yui from the Japanese animation Angel Beats!
She was one of seven friends who dressed for the occasion.
"We've all been planning this for the last six months," she said.
"I just think it's fun to become a character, you get to be someone else and everyone comes up to you and says that you're their favourite character."
The teen said she'd had numerous requests from people to pose for photos with her.
Miss Spinks has been attending the pop culture expo for the past ten years.
"I started going mainly for Harry Potter," she said.
"But today I came to see the guys from the Hobbit."
A few years ago she saw Billy Boyd who plays Pippin in the Lord of the Rings trilogy.
"I had a mild panic attack," she said.
The event brings thousands of people from all over Australia every year.
"It's just the coolest event," Miss Spinks said.
"You get to meet so many nice people and everyone just gets along so well."
The group from Tweed have already decided they're going to dress up as characters from another popular Japanese animation Fullmetal Alchemist for the next Supanova.
The event began Friday night with an opening ceremony and a full interview with the cast from the new film Sushi Girl, which stars The Neverending Story's Noah Hathaway.
Over the two days fans were entertained with question and answer sessions, seminars and signings with the stars.
I Dream of Jennie's Barbara Eden, Charmed's Rose McGowan and Game of Thrones' Natalia Tena were all there delighting fans.
The Convention Centre held hundreds of stalls selling costumes, comics and pretty much everything a diehard collector would dream of; there was even a weapons stall.
A wrestling arena and full show was also set up to keep the crowd entertained.
The next time the sunshine state will see the much loved Supanova convention will be in November when it comes to the RNA Showgrounds in Brisbane.

Oregon Wildlife Test Deer and Elk For Diseases
Posted by Jennifer Smith on October 31, 2017
BEND, Ore. (AP) — Biologists with the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife established testing stations over the weekend to see if deer and elk carcasses had chronic wasting disease.
The contagious neurological disease that causes elk and deer to lose weight and eventually die has been found in pockets of the country from central Pennsylvania to the Mountain West.
No cases have been reported in Oregon, but Greg Jackle, an ODFW biologist based in Prineville, said the disease can spread easily, and the department isn't taking chances.
"The moment we start not sampling (deer and elk) at the highest rate, that's when you miss something," Jackle told The Bulletin newspaper.
The department set up check stations Saturday — one in Biggs along Interstate 84 and one about one mile east of Prineville on U.S. Highway 26. Hunters were encouraged, though not required, to let staff inspect their deer and elk carcasses.
When the animals are inspected, Jackle said staffers pull out lymph nodes to determine if the animal was infected. For elk, the department cuts out a portion of the spinal cord to look for the disease.
The test takes about 10 minutes, and the station tests around 150 deer and elk per day.
"It's just a good way for hunters to contribute," Jackle said.
Another ODFW wildlife biologist, Corey Heath, said the disease can spread when animal carcasses are transported by people: "It's not a disease that just occurs when an animal walks across state lines."
Deer and elk afflicted with disease often go to lower elevations, bringing them closer to roads and putting them at a greater risk of getting hit by a passing car. There's no evidence that eating meat from animals with chronic wasting disease is harmful to humans, but department advises people not to eat infected animals.

Russian's non-Putin President Dmitry Medvedev (aka President Placeholder) met with a group of small-businessmen in Moscow over the summer to discuss their challenges. One can only imagine where to start. So Medvedev, according to state news agency RIA Novosti, offered some direction: "The youth believe that [the civil service] is an example of how to be successful quickly without the need to apply any effort." He suggested that a bureaucratic career could lead to the kind of corrupt mentality that would lead to kids looking to score a quick and easy ruble.
What does Medvedev think he's doing? Having the populace employed by the state has traditionally been an effective way for Communist governments to secure their control over a people. Granted, driving kids away from the civil service toward the private sector within a Communist structure only shifts government expenditures from one pocket to the other. The Russian government still owns the large private companies. So then what's the difference to them? Why is Medvedev bothering to symbolically make this distinction in denouncing the federal bureaucracy? The answer to this question is highly instructive to those of us in the Western world, particularly as we implode economically under the weight of public-sector costs, among other things.
Even in a Communist system, there is a difference between a civil-service payroll and a state-owned business payroll. That difference is productivity. The Russian civil service and desk-jockey brigade aren't selling or exporting anything. The public sector isn't creating any value or wealth. By contrast, Russian state-owned businesses are producing things and selling them in the international marketplace. Kremlin-funded oligarchs are tasked with investing the profits derived from the riches of these companies in various Western interests, thereby profiting from our capitalist system. In essence, if you look at it this way, Western capitalism drives the Russian economy, and productive wealth-creation is not accomplished by public-sector bureaucrats. Even in a Communist state, they have figured out which pocket constantly needs replenishing by the other. The more workers they can have creating wealth, the better off they'll all be.
Compare Medvedev's drive to reduce civil-service bureaucracy with President Barack Obama's efforts. Last December, for example, he signed a bill to increase civil-service telework. In order to ensure that the federal government wouldn't lose any more great talents to private sector wealth-creation and gross domestic product augmentation efforts, he colluded with his fellow Democrats to find a way to let bureaucrats "work" from home in their favorite jammies and from the comfort of their favorite Posturepedic mattress.
Working from home is one of those things that you only really ought to be doing if you're driven by survival. No one with a comfortable reliable salary and without the constant pressure of having to deliver results should ever be allowed to work from bed—and that especially means civil servants.
At what point did America and Russia switch brains?

You are here: Home1 / Map of Kerry Wild Atlantic Way2 / Discovery Points3 / Carrigafoyle Castle
Carrigafoyle Castle is one of Kerry's hidden historic gems and well worth a visit. The castle was built in the 1490s by O'Connor Kerry and has five storeys rising to a height of 86 feet. It's name Carrigafoyle come from from the Irish 'Carrig an Phoill' (Rock of the Hole). It stands on the edge of the Shannon estuary in a channel between the mainland and Carrig Island. This would have been a strategic location enabling the chieftain to board ships going up the Shannon to Limerick to demand some of their cargo to secure safe passage, a common practice until the middle of the 16th century. The castle had a small dock allowing boats to sail and moor beside the tower.
This remote location has a dramatic history. In 1580 the castle was besieged by English forces, under Sir William Pelham, during which canon fire-power was used for the first time in Kerry. The castle was being held at the time for the Earl of Desmond by Captain Julian, an Italian engineer with fifty Irish men and a troupe of sixteen Spanish soldiers. The walls of the castle were breached on the second day and all were either killed in the battle or subsequently put to death. The Seige of Carrigafoyle Castle took place on Palm Sunday 1580 and was part of the English crown's campaign, known as the Desmond Wars, against the forces of Gerald Fitzgerald, 15th Earl of Desmond.
You can climb the spiral staircase to the top for a good view of the Shannon estuary including Carrig Island and Scattery Island. A wide spiral staircase of 104 steps leads to the battlements. The castle was occupied in the last century by a Dr Fitzmaurice and his family despite its ruined condition.
Care should be taken. Not suitable for young children.

Juventus 1-0 Palermo: Winning Ugly In a Slopfest At the Stadio Renzo Barbera
Antonio Conte comes back, Juventus wins. It's music to our ears. I think I can used to this, guys.

Share All sharing options for: Juventus 1-0 Palermo: Winning Ugly In a Slopfest At the Stadio Renzo Barbera
Tullio M. Puglia
While winning in the Champions League is absolutely fantastic, there's a new-found trend for Juventus that is happening in the game following said victory: A not-so pretty aftermath in the following game.
We saw it first against Milan two Sundays ago, and the post-European game hangover — or whatever you wish to call it — was ever present on Sunday in the 1-0 win over Palermo. The physical exertion and quick turnaround isn't easy, let alone in Juve's system that demands so much out of the its out-field players.
Luckily for us, Antonio Conte was back on the sidelines to make sure the performance of the first 45 minutes wasn't going to replicated after halftime. While Juventus started to wake up before the intermission, it was after the break where Conte's men really took control of the match. The possession stats don't exactly reflect it — Juventus 53 percent, Palermo at 47 percent — but it's not like the home side was creating a whole lot when they had the ball. Juventus weren't able to put things away, sure, but it never really evolved into a match where Juve were going to run away with it.
Yes, there weren't a whole lot of style points outside of Mirko Vucinic's assist to Stephan Lichtsteiner for the game's only goal, but that's okay. Not every game will be glorious. Not every game will be pretty. Sometimes you gotta grit your teeth and win ugly. Juventus did that, in terrible conditions no less, as their leader returned to the bench.
I'll take the tree points and a four-point advantage over the second-place team who shall not be named.
Buffon: s/v - San Gigi had to make one save — and it wasn't all that difficult at that. The benefit of the second half improvements on Juventus' part was that Buffon just had to stand there in the rain and try to figure out a way to stay warm.
Barzagli: 7.5 - Just an absolutely sound, Barzagli-like kind of game. Didn't have to make many tackles, but they all seemed to be important ones. Not all that surprising the way he is playing right now, but it really just goes to show what kind of player he's become. Returned to the place where he made his name, put in his usual badass-self performance, and didn't have all too much go wrong.
Bonucci: 6 - Leo gets half a point off for that thing he called a dive (more on that later). More importantly, though, it was another game where he was a complete rock in the center of the defense. He'll be missed against Atalanta next weekend, especially if Luca Marrone or Martin Caceres are still bothered with their respective injury woes.
Chiellini: 6.5 - One of these days, Chiellini is going to need a serious game off. But, until then, he's going to keep scaring the hell out of all of us as he seemingly picks up a knock every time out on the pitch. Maybe a game off will do Chiello some good. You'd have to think it would.
Lichtsteiner: 8 - How would you have liked to try and play in the sloshpit known as the right flank at the Renzo Barbera? It was nasty, yet the Swiss Express didn't give one damn about it. Lichtsteiner bombed up and down the right flank, essentially giving the poor conditions the middle finger in the process. Got the game-winning goal to boot. This was a vintage Lichtsteiner performance.
Vidal: 7 - Until he came off injured — which, by the way, didn't look pretty at all when it happened live — Vidal was having a very good all-around game. He was doing his usual business in the center of the park before he was taken off after 54 minutes with an apparent thigh injury. He probably should've come off right away because when Vidal can barely move around on the pitch, you know something just isn't right.
Pirlo: 6.5 - He didn't command the game, but Pirlo was still effective. And on the defensive side of things, too. It's amazing how Conte has continued to turn Pirlo into a midfielder that presses and tackles more. I mean, how much money would you bet on Pirlo having as many tackles as Chiellini? Exactly.
Marchisio: 6.5 - This was the kind of game where Marchisio's impact was felt more on the defensive side of things than on offense. Had an effort at goal nicely saved by Ujkani in the first half, but had to focus more on the dirty work in the midfield after the break due to Vidal's absence. Principino certainly did that, finishing the match with a game-high seven tackles.
Asamoah: 5.5 - The stats say he played a solid game, but my eyes say otherwise. It wasn't the birthday boy's best game, but it wasn't terrible, either. With the absolute war Juve had mid-week to qualify for the knockout stages, you had to think Kojo was a little gassed going into the Palermo game, right?
Vucinic: 7.5 - The Vucinic Effect was in full force. Had two shots go off the upright and his assist to Lichtsteiner was absolutely fantastic. For all the crap I give him, this is the kind of game where he truly shows he can change the game. Obviously he will never become the consistent force he can be mainly because he's 29 years old and at his peak, but he's certainly a player Juve need on top form the next couple of months.
Matri: 5.5 - Did a few things well, did a few other things not so well. His confidence is shot. We all can see that. The problem is, though, just when you think he's going to get a goal or two to bring some of that confidence back, he can't convert. That's what happened against Palermo and, like so many times before, he's still searching for any kind of positive run of form. Just watch his reaction after his close-range effort was saved by Ujkani in the first half. He's completely bewildered as to what he has to do to score a goal at this point. And, to be honest, I am, too.
Pogba: 6.5 - I knew Pogba got involved immediately after coming on for Vidal, but then I made my way and looked at his stats: 37 minutes played, six tackles, 37 touches. That's....damn good.
Padoin: 5.5 - Didn't screw up after he came on for Lichtsteiner. Good. That's all that was needed.
Bendtner: s/v - Other than his first touch of the game going just wide on goal, this was his best contribution on Sunday:
who shot bonucci? ;) haha
— Nicklas Bendtner (@bendtnerb52) December 9, 2012
Conte: 6.5 - The biggest thing, of course, was that he returned from his four-month touchline ban. It was definitely noticeable in the second half when Juventus took complete control of the game. And that's one of the biggest things that having Conte back will allow this team to do — if they struggle in the first 45 minutes, it's pretty much known that Juve will come out a different team. Whether it's motivation, changing tactics, whatever, being able to have Conte back on the sidelines is one of the best things to happn this season.
1. Antonio Conte looks funny in a hat. It's almost like he should be playing little league baseball or something. But, regardless of what he has on his head to protect his not-so-natural hair, Conte's back on the touchline. Oh yes.
2. Leonardo Bonucci should be happy he's good at this football thing because he'd be a terrible actor. That flop — what was that? I mean, what the hell was that? I think that's all I can say about it. It was bad, he got carded, and now he won't play next weekend because of it.
3. Is it time for another #FreeQuagliarella movement? I ask this on top of the original question: Remember when we thought Quags would just be slapped with a fine and that's it? Hey, wha happen? Eta Beta hasn't seen the field since his not-so-nice words for Angelo Alessio, a clear sign that it's more than just some squad rotation going on. Quagliarella was on good form when he suddenly found the bench and now all of the sudden he's not playing at all. This is just fishy.
4. Should there have been more squad rotation? The Shakhtar game will likely go down as one of the most intense and physically demanding of the season. There was a lot of running, a lot of pressing on the part of Juventus. And for a good portion of Sunday's game against Palermo, Juve looked to be showing the aftereffects of the mid-week European contest. Obviously the injury troubles to Caceres and Marrone and Sebastian Giovinco's suspension limited Conte as to what he could have done lineup-wise, but I'm pretty confident in saying a couple of players needed a weekend off just to recover.
5. The field. The complete mess of a field. You saw it. If not, watch the video. How Palermo continuously gets away with that place being so poorly maintained is beyond me.

Normally when I am there in East Coast Park, I will come over here to have the Wanton Mee. Well, do expect to queue during lunch and dinner hours. It's pretty fast moving though.
The noodles are done in a al-dente way unlike some places where they did cooked it until it's pretty soggy. The best will be the BBQ pork also known as Char Siew. It's roasted or bbq until the sides of the meat are slightly charred but not overly charred.
Ok just the sight of the photos make me hungry now!!!
No high chairs available for kids but there are mini playground like swings nearby the food village.

Former MHMRA Psychologist Leddy Convicted of Fraud
Paul Knight | April 21, 2010 | 2:45pm
A former psychologist with the Mental Health and Mental Retardation Authority of Harris County, who evaluated defendants in close to 1,000 criminal cases during his time with the agency, recently pled guilty to Medicaid fraud.
Matthew Leddy, the psychologist, received a 30-day jail sentence and was required to pay $228,747.81 in restitution to the state, according to a representative with the Attorney General's office, the agency that prosecuted Leddy. He was also sentenced to 340 hours of community service and had to pay another $10,000 in fines.
"I think it was a favorable resolution for all parties," Philip Hilder, Leddy's attorney, tells Hair Balls. "[Leddy] has made restitution and would like to just move on with his life."
Hair Balls and the Houston Press have been particularly interested in the Leddy case because a couple years ago, Leddy evaluated Alexander Hatcher, a man that was diagnosed as bipolar and schizophrenic by MHMRA and was originally arrested for criminal mischief. Hatcher, who the Press wrote about in an August 2008 cover story, didn't receive his meds in jail and eventually was accused of assaulting a guard.
Leddy told the court that Hatcher was competent to stand trial, and after being found guilty, Hatcher was sentenced to 53 years in prison.
It's unlikely that Leddy's conviction will have any effect on the work he did in the criminal cases, because the crimes took place when he worked for a private practice in Montgomery County, before he was hired by MHMRA.
But after he was arrested, Hair Balls found out that Leddy had evaluated children for Montgomery County Child Protective Services while working at his private practice.
We spoke with Johana Scot, an advocate with the Parent Guidance Center who had worked on CPS cases that involved Leddy. In one of them, Scot said, she convinced lawyers that the evaluation of a four-year-old girl was bunk, and orders to remove the girl from her mother were overturned.
"If the state is bringing fraud charges against [Leddy], it's the state's responsibilities to go back and see if he did the right thing for these families," Scot said.
Leddy will spend his month-long sentence in the Montgomery County Jail, and according to Hilder, he hasn't started serving it. Although Leddy isn't allowed to work under government contract, on and Medicare/Medicaid cases, Hilder said Leddy plans to continue work as a psychologist.
Alexander Hatcher hasn't been so lucky. Last month, an appeals court upheld his 53 year sentence.

Kensington, MD, March 2, 2016 — It's that time of year again when the call of the wild echos through the ether. This is when we plan, pack, lace 'em up and get it on.
The year starts in Georgia on the AT. For one, I'm anxious to see if all the planning we have done to manage the early crowds actually is beneficial. All I know is that a lot of time and energy have gone into the improvements.
Next it's the National Park Service's centennial. Shenandoah has challenged folks to celebrate by hiking a hundred miles in the park in return for a free patch. My friend and first hiking partner Mary and her son Ben will be hiking there on a 600 mile-long AT section hike in mid-April. I plan to tag along for all 105 of Shenandoah's miles.
From there it gets fuzzier. I have my ridgerunner hikes and trail crew week – only one this year. I'm signed up for a Leave No Trace master educator course and a talk on backpacking at Sky Meadows State Park, Va. for National Trails Day.
We've hired two returning ridgerunners and four new folks for this season. More on them at another time.
There's an opportunity to hike the northern half (Oregon and Washington) of the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) and/or the Colorado Trail. Lastly, once school is back in session, finishing the Long Trail in Vermont is carved in stone after having to miss it last year.
I'm learning not to predict too much. Plans do not survive contact with reality, and this year reality is holding a lot of face cards. I've taken on some executive responsibility with my trail club that's going to eat time, and have been nominated for a professional lifetime career honor that, if selected, I will accept in person come hell or high water.
Top of the first inning is the southern terminus of the Appalachian Trail on Springer Mountain, Georgia. I've noted and written about my friend Denise's plan to thru hike this year. Well, she gets dropped off at the trailhead around noon on March 9. I've made the arrangements to be there like a beacon to cheer her on and hike the first 80 miles of the AT with her. She will nail her hike to the wall.
The weather in Georgia has been all over the map. Hey, it's in the south you say; it's bound to be warm. Well considering that the entire AT in Georgia is above 4,000 ft., cold weather, sleet and snow are factors throughout March.
I'm packing now. My pack is going to weigh much more than normal. For one, I'm carrying my food in a bear-proof container, not so much for the bears, but to set an example to others who don't take bears seriously.
As for which sleeping bag, jackets and other clothing, I figured I'd split the difference between zero degrees F and 70F.
Looking forward to following your adventures. My plans include hiking through GSMNP this spring.
It's a great place to hike.
You have a lot of good things lined up for your seasons. I hope they come to pass. It would be a memorable year.
We don't have nearly as much on our plate. One is to go hike in one of the oldest state parks in IA – Ledges – north of Des Moines. We have also looked into arranging a hiking and distillery tour of some part of Scotland.
Scotland and distillery tour. Now you're talking!
We're in the early planning stage.
Happy hiking! 🙂 Looks like the season is off to a good start.
I am all packed and heading to Georgia tomorrow. See you soon!
Yup, spring is approaching all thoughts turn to hiking! It will feel strange not to be on the trail this spring! My backpack is looking at me like "What the heck…we ain't going!" It's the thing you are supposed to do! But, I will be in Shenandoah in 3 months! Sounds like you have a good season lined up. Hope to be able to meet up with you in June!!

Connecticut man enters not guilty plea in motorcycle accident
On behalf of Beebe and O'Neil posted in Car Accidents on Wednesday, October 22, 2014.
A 71-year-old man entered a not guilty plea to charges of negligent vehicular homicide stemming from a June traffic accident that claimed the life of a motorcyclist. The Stamford incident occurred on Harvard Avenue.
That is where the 71-year-old man, who was driving a Ford Explorer Sport Trac, allegedly made a left turn in the path of a motorcycle. The impact of the resulting collision propelled the 48-year-old motorcyclist off of his bike, authorities said. Consequently, the motorcyclist suffered a broken neck and other injuries, from which he would later die. The 48-year-old man was reportedly driving home from work when the accident occurred.
The 71-year-old man had misjudged the distance of the motorcyclist when he turned left, according to a police report. According to officials, skid marks linked to the motorcycle indicate that the motorcyclist had applied the brakes just before the collision. Officials also noted that the motorcyclist was wearing proper safety equipment at the time of the accident.
Besides criminal penalties, the 71-year-old man in this case may also face civil action. For, people may be held liable for a car accident in civil court if their negligence proves to be a contributing factor in the fatal wreck. By filing a wrongful death claim against the at-fault party, families of fatal accident victims may recover the various expenses connected with a loved one's death, such as funeral bills and other end-of-life costs. That is why many bereaved families seek the counsel of a personal injury lawyer during the aftermath of a fatal accident. The attorney may review the specific circumstances of the accident and advise claimants how much they should seek in damages.

Q: HTML  tag causes linebreaks I'm using CSS (via JQuery , but not relevant to this question) to highlight certain elements within an HTML file: I'm using "pre" tags to separate out logical elements in my file, but I noticed that "pre" tags seem to leave newlines between elements.

Can I get rid of these using CSS ?

(Or what shall I use instead of "pre" tags? The text elements may contain HTML elements themeselves : which should not be rendered, and should be shown literally as source-code: hence my initial choice with "pre" tags)

Here's an example of the HTML I'm using: (Requires http://docs.jquery.com/Downloading_jQuery for this example)

This is an error line.
    stack.trace.blah.blah
    more.blah.blah
    yadda.yadda.blah

this is not an error line.it contains html
<html><head></head><body>hello</body></html>

This is an error line.
    stack.trace.blah.blah
    more.blah.blah
    yadda.yadda.blah

I'm using Firefox 3.6.12.
This is what the code above results in:

And this is simulated output of what I want (switched to yellow, only because I used my vim editor to this, pretend it's red!)

SOLUTION:

Is to use 'display:inline' for all PRE tags. (Previously I was only applying the 'display:inline' to the 'error' tags in the example above, and had forget to do the same for 'ok' pre tags.

A: The pre tag is a block level element, so it will behave like any other block level element and stack vertically (like paragraph, div, etc). You can set it to display:inline instead, I guess.
But better would be to use the  tag, which is inline by default.
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/code

A: You can force the pre tag to be a inline element by adding this in head:

A: You can fix with css as follow
pre {
    width: 600px;                          /* specify width  */
    white-space: pre-wrap;                 /* CSS3 browsers  */
    white-space: -moz-pre-wrap !important; /* 1999+ Mozilla  */
    white-space: -pre-wrap;                /* Opera 4 thru 6 */
    white-space: -o-pre-wrap;              /* Opera 7 and up */
    word-wrap: break-word;                 /* IE 5.5+ and up */

    }

A: That's because
 has a default style display: block, use in your css pre { display: inline}
as for your edit, you need to add margin: 0; to ALL the pre blocks, not just the ones you want to style:
pre {
    display: inline;
    margin: 0;
}

You should try to avoid styling with JS whenever possible, but if you really must:

A: Why are you using jQuery for something that can be achieved via CSS?

This is an error line.
    stack.trace.blah.blah
    more.blah.blah
    yadda.yadda.blah

this is not an error line.it contains html
<html><head></head><body>hello</body></html>

This is an error line.
    stack.trace.blah.blah
    more.blah.blah
    yadda.yadda.blah

A: You can convert HTML source to use special chars instead of < > (like < >). You can do this with notepad++ using TextFX Plugin (Encode HTML) or in eclipse you can do this with anyedit tools.

A: pre { margin: 0; }

should give you the rendering in the second picture. Your snippet probably doesn't work because you don't remove the default margin from the pre.ok.

A: you can use padding:0 and margin:0 for pre in css

A: Don't use pre, instead escape the characters you want to display literally. Like < and > for < and >.
When you render your page, you can use a function like htmlentities() (PHP) to escape these characters for you.

A mother claims she has to put her mentally-ill son in handcuffs at home because of a lack of support from mental health services.
Joely Hignett alleges she has to physically restrain 24-year-old son Kyle Hignett – who has a borderline personality disorder and suffers from psychosis – to stop him from harming himself or others. The 44-year-old mother of two, from Warrington, Cheshire has released "distressing" footage of Kyle sobbing and screaming to raise awareness of his condition and said she feels "let down" by the mental health system.
She claims her son's breakdown in the video, which has racked up more than 950,000 views and nearly 5,000 shares on Facebook, was caused by him being told by doctors he was soon to be discharged.
Ms Hignett, who is full-time carer to Kyle and 22-year-old daughter Tyler Hignett, who suffers from bipolar disorder, said: "I know my son is the most beautiful, kindest person in the world. "He is so respectful, he would never want to hurt anyone in the street. But when this thing takes over we have to put him in handcuffs to prevent him from killing himself or harming someone else. He gets in rages and feels extremely dangerous. "Luckily, thank God, he works with me. We just feel totally overwhelmed and scared, but no one seems to care.
"We feel the mental health system is letting my son down, his family down and everybody else down who suffers every day with mental health.

cPanel is the most widely used web hosting Control Panel nowadays. But that does not imply that it is the best - it has many flaws and it has had them for so long that they are no longer regarded as flaws by most people. But only because something was okay in the year 2000 doesn't imply that the same thing will be OK now.
With cPanel, you have two separate Control Panel tools - one for your site and another one for your billing transactions and domain names.
With the Hepsia website hosting CP, you can use drag 'n' drop file upload directly in the File Manager. It also supports archive/unarchive functions and right-click context menus.
After some recent updates, cPanel's File Manager works and looks much better. Nonetheless, it offers neither drag 'n' drop file upload functionality, nor archive/unarchive options.
With Hepsia, you receive loads of free-of-cost extras.
With cPanel, the free-of-charge extras you obtain depend on the hosting accounts provider, which suggests that you can also receive a bare-bones cPanel with nothing else.
While with the The cPanel Control Panel you do your work in time, it's designed on concepts from the year 2000 and can be sluggish at times.
Hosting more than ten web sites under one single cPanel web hosting account is indeed hard.
The Hepsia hosting Control Panel features a fully fledged demo version with just several functions disabled. You can even set up a whole web site and see how it looks like prior to deciding whether or not to sign up.
The cPanel hosting CP features a stripped-down demo version, which will only offer you a crude idea of what the cPanel Control Panel can do.
This list can carry on and on. But instead of simply reading about these hosting Control Panels, why don't you give the Hepsia CP a go with our Live Demo and see for yourself how easy website hosting can be?

The Q&A: Robin Fuchs-Young
In this week's Q&A, we interview Robin Fuchs-Young, a professor in the Department of Molecular and Cellular Medicine at the Texas A&M University Health Science Center.

Robin Fuchs-Young is a professor in the Department of Molecular and Cellular Medicine at the Texas A&M University Health Science Center.
With each issue, Trib+Health brings you an interview with experts on issues related to health care. Here is this week's subject:
Robin Fuchs-Young is a professor in the Department of Molecular and Cellular Medicine at the Texas A&M University Health Science Center. Her research involves studying why some women are more susceptible to breast cancer than others.
Editor's note: This interview has been edited for length and clarity.
Trib+Heath: What made you interested in researching why some women are more susceptible to breast cancer than others, and why do you think it is an important subject to study?
Robin Fuchs-Young: I've been interested in breast cancer for a very long time, and the more I looked into it, the more I learned, the more I realized we really don't know everything we need to know about susceptibility.
I came to this by looking somewhat at heath disparities. The thing that actually interested me the most was why women of African descent are more likely to die from breast cancer than women of European descent. On its face, that's an important health problem, an important public health problem. And the more I dug into it the more I realized that it was a very interesting scientific and biomedical question because there are a lot of factors that play into it.
There's socioeconomic factors, there are access to health care factors, there are all kinds of factors that lead into this or that that feed into this, but I'm interested in the biophysiological, molecular, genetic, epigenetic and environmental contributors to these heath disparities. I set about trying to understand the biophysiological, the biomedical contributors, but I acknowledge that there are a lot of sociologic, socioeconomic factors that also contribute.
Trib+Heath: What are some key factors that may determine why some women are more likely to get breast cancer than others?
Fuchs-Young: One of the things I was surprised by was how little we actually know about that. So we know, for example, that diet, body weight, the number of pregnancies early in life brought to term; we know that there are a variety of factors that include those but there are probably much more than those that can affect risks. We know there are inherited mutations in certain genes that can very substantially affect risk, but the inherited mutations that we know about represent a very small fraction of the risk factors. So we are very interested in understanding the risk factors better and understanding when and how they add to risk.
If we could really understand why some women are at greater risk than others, and why some women get the kind of breast cancer that tends to be a little bit more treatable, or a lot more treatable and much less aggressive, and why some women get the kind of breast cancer called triple negative that is both highly aggressive and fairly refractory to treatment, then at the end of the day what we ultimately want to be able to do is to prevent the disease.
Now that's not the only place where research is needed. Obviously if somebody already has breast cancer, then we have to be able to treat it more effectively, and our work plays into that in some degree because we are interested in the mechanism by which breast cancer not only occurs but progresses. And so there's a continuum of research from very, very basic to very, very applied, and they kind of feed together.
Our work, I hope, slides up and down that continuum. Where we're very interested in our basic causes and contributors, we're also interested in the translation of this to clinical medicine. In my career, I've spent some time looking at treatment.
Trib+Heath: In your research, are there any factors you've found that are maybe more likely to cause breast cancer in women than others?
Fuchs-Young: We don't generally think in terms of absolute cause, because very rarely is there a single cause. I think that's one of those things that is really important that we understand, is that cancer is a very complex group of diseases, and they have different kinds of causes.
The other thing is that these factors that can contribute to increased risk occur at different times in life. So some factors can make a contribution very early and some factors are more important later, and so we tend to study those factors that can occur very early in life. So we are looking at diet. We're looking at the exposure to certain types of growth factors that can increase a women's risk just as a result of variations from person to person within the production of certain growth factors. We look at diet. We look at genetic variations. We look at dietary variations.
Our recent work has focused on three main things. One is diet. One is insulin like growth factor-1 and one is a polymorphic variation in a gene called p53. We look at multiple contributors and we do a lot of work in vivo, [in animal models], because it allows us to understand a complicated group of [factors] that can all make a contribution.
I understand the desire to point to a thing and say, "That's the cause. That's it. If we can just do something about that thing." But unfortunately that's probably not the case. In reality, there's a variety of things that make contributions over the course of a person's lifetime, that ultimately end up affecting their overall lifetime risk.
Trib+Heath: Have you found any indication that certain groups of women as a whole are more likely to develop breast cancer than others?
Fuchs-Young: Well, it's not just us. I think it's really important that we all recognize that there's a huge group of scientists all over the world researching this. So what we know is as a result of everyone's work. It's not what we've particularly discovered, it's where the knowledge is at this moment. So we know, for example, that women of African descent have higher risk early in life. African-American women are more likely to develop what we call early onset disease at a younger age. White women of European descent are more likely to develop cancer post-menopause.
Our work, and the work of others, has indicated that diet and body weight, and fat and sugar, can play a role very, very early. We also have found that exposure to high levels of insulin like growth factor-1 early in life can change risk.
Trib+Heath: How do diet, body weight and exercise play into breast cancer risk?
Fuchs-Young: What we've found, and we are still looking at the mechanisms behind it, is that what seems to be important is the diet that someone is exposed to early in life versus the diet that they are exposed to later in life.
We did a study in mice where we looked at high fat, high sugar diets at different points in the mouse's lifespan. We found that in mice that early exposure to high fat, high sugar diet, a highly caloric diet, followed by a mildly caloric or diet restriction later in life actually was protective.
Now we are looking at exercise or voluntary activity in these mice as well, but we don't have the data back from that so I can't really speak about it. But we have found that the diet one has early and the diet one has late, in terms of fat and sugar, can have a profound impact on risk in mice.
Trib+Heath: How will this research on who is more susceptible to breast cancer impact how breast cancer is treated in different women?
Fuchs-Young: We've thought about that. If, for example, we find out that exercise changes risk; there's a lot of research going on now to see what the impact of physical activity can be on risk both of the primary tumor and of recurrence. There's some data out on that, but it's not definitive. These are very difficult experiments to do.
So one could imagine how this information from these types of studies, combined with other types of treatment, could be used to reduce both the prevalence of breast cancer to start with and also the likelihood of recurrence. So it has the potential to fold into treatment.
Trib+Heath: Where would you like this research to go from here?
Fuchs-Young: We are now looking at the potential impact of various exposures on epigenetic variations, or epigenetic changes. This is something that was fairly recently discovered, where external forces and internal ones can change gene regulation without there having to be a mutation. There's an entire field now of epigenetics, which is a mechanism whereby the environment, and in that I include diet, can affect susceptibility to a variety of diseases, including breast cancer. That's sort of where our research is going.
Trib+Heath: Is there anything else you'd like to note?
Fuchs-Young: I guess the only thing is that, I think the good news is that there are a lot of people, a lot of scientists, working very hard to try to unravel these very difficult questions, and that we desperately need the support of the public.
So we hope that the public appreciates that these are difficult and timely and expensive experiments to do. But the good news is that there are a lot of really smart people trying to find out the answers so that they can be used to help people not only prevent breast cancer but treat it more effectively.
