Sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+)-ATPases are transmembrane proteins that catalyze the ATP-dependent transport of Ca(2+) from the cytosol into the lumen of the sarcoplasmic reticulum in muscle cells. Additionally we are shipping Sarcolipin Antibodies (8) and many more products for this protein.
Showing 2 out of 9 products:
Cardiac function of Sln(Cre/+) mice was not significantly different from WT mice in all aspects that were examined.
the N termini of SLN and PLB (show PLN ELISA Kits) influence their respective unique functions
UCP1 (show UCP1 ELISA Kits) and SLN are required to maintain optimal thermogenesis and loss of both systems compromises survival of mice under cold stress
both SLN knockout (Sln(-/-)) and skeletal muscle-specific (show EIF3K ELISA Kits) SLN overexpression (Sln(OE)) mice to explore energy metabolism by pair feeding (fixed calories) and high-fat diet feeding (ad libitum)
overexpression of neither wild type nor FLAG-tagged variants of sarcolipin in transgenic mice had any major significant effects on body mass, energy expenditure, even when mice were fed on a high fat diet
SLN and PLN (show PLN ELISA Kits) are co-expressed in most fibers, which suggests that super-inhibition of SERCAs may be physiologically important in the regulation of intracellular Ca2 (show CA2 ELISA Kits)+ in human skeletal muscle.
results suggest that beta-AR signaling partially compensates for a lack of SLN to activate muscle-based DIT, but SLN is the primary and more effective mediator.
Sarcolipin deficiency increases the transport stoichiometry of SERCA (show ATP2A3 ELISA Kits) pumps and decreases the relative contribution of SERCA (show ATP2A3 ELISA Kits) pumps to resting oxygen consumption.
Data indicate that phospholamban (PLB (show PLN ELISA Kits)) is not involved in heat generation and that sarcolipin (SLN) alone is responsible for muscle thermogenesis.
During mouse muscle development SLN is highly expressed in embryonic muscle and plays role in regulation of sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca(2 (show CA2 ELISA Kits)+) stores during muscle differentiation
analysis of transmembrane dynamics of the Thr (show TRH ELISA Kits)-5 phosphorylated sarcolipin pentameric channel
Phospholamban (show PLN ELISA Kits) and sarcolipin are membrane proteins that differentially regulate SERCA (show ATP2A3 ELISA Kits) function. (Review)
Molecular dynamics simulations help to clarify and to understand better the SLN pentamer channel that had a hydrophobic gate and could switch Na(+) and Cl(-) ion permeability by hydrated and vacuum states.
Although SLN and PLB (show PLN ELISA Kits) binding to SERCA (show ATP2A3 ELISA Kits) have different functional outcomes on the coupling efficiency of SERCA (show ATP2A3 ELISA Kits), both proteins decrease the apparent Ca(2 (show CA2 ELISA Kits)+) affinity of the pump, suggesting that SLN and PLB (show PLN ELISA Kits) inhibit SERCA (show ATP2A3 ELISA Kits) by using a similar mechanism.
The C-terminal tail of SLN is a distinct, essential domain in the regulation of SERCA (show ATP2A3 ELISA Kits).
The selective downregulation of SLN and enhanced sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca(2 (show CA2 ELISA Kits)+) uptake in human AF suggest that SLN downregulation could play an important role in abnormal intracellular Ca(2 (show CA2 ELISA Kits)+) cycling in atrial pathology.
sarcolipin binds to phospholamban (show PLN ELISA Kits) and inhibits polymerization
sarcolipin is likely to be an atrial chamber-specific regulator of Ca2 (show CA2 ELISA Kits)+ cycling in heart
role in regulating sarco(endo)plasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase by binding to transmembrane helices alone or in association with phospholamban (show PLN ELISA Kits)
Cell functions regulated by protein-protein interactions of the SERCA1a (show ATP2A1 ELISA Kits)-sarcolipin complex is accomplished via s-palmitoylation and s-oleoylation of sarcolipin.
The expression of SLN and PLB (show PLN ELISA Kits) mRNA and protein relative to SERCA1 (show ATP2A1 ELISA Kits) or SERCA2 (show ATP2A2 ELISA Kits) was assessed in ventricle, atrium, and skeltal msucle of mouse, rat, rabbit and pig.
Sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+)-ATPases are transmembrane proteins that catalyze the ATP-dependent transport of Ca(2+) from the cytosol into the lumen of the sarcoplasmic reticulum in muscle cells. This gene encodes a small proteolipid that regulates several sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+)-ATPases. The transmembrane protein interacts with Ca(2+)-ATPases and reduces the accumulation of Ca(2+) in the sarcoplasmic reticulum without affecting the rate of ATP hydrolysis.

ROLL-NECK REBOOT02:17Meg Riley
Roll-necks have decided to make a comeback, and I couldn't be happier with the 70s trend making it's debut with a modern twist. Along with my love of metallics, this roll-neck from Zara is perfect for incorporating some sparkle into my wardrobe without seeming overdressed. With this, my go-to pairing has been my black Joni Jeans, as well as some Oxford-style black brogues from Primark. For the winter weather that still seems to be with us, I've also been getting the use out of my new coat from Missguided, which F.Y.I. is the cosiest coat ever. The classic black and cream combo works with every outfit, whilst the faux fur adding some needed warmth, and the pilot jacket style being super on trend this season. My favourite accessory over winter has been some simple hoop earrings, which I think adds a subtle touch of silver to complement the metallic knit. All of the items that are still available will be linked below - What's been your fashion favourite recently?

OK, at Craig's request, here's the current Table of Contents for Tomcat docs. (I wrote a program to convert *** to 1.2.3. format so it's easier to read.) It just occured to me that maybe the TOC will be applicable to both versions (3 vs 4), even though the content of each chapter will be completely different. I think there's actually value in synchronizing the TOCs of two different books, though maybe I'm just being weird :-) -- Alex Chaffee mailto:firstname.lastname@example.com jGuru - Java News and FAQs http://www.jguru.com/alex/ Creator of Gamelan http://www.gamelan.com/ Founder of Purple Technology http://www.purpletech.com/ Curator of Stinky Art Collective http://www.stinky.com/

from Dan Norcini:
Talk about a stark contrast from one day to the next! Yesterday we were all sifting through the inner parts of the FOMC statement and noting the dovish tone and the more downbeat assessment of the US economy from the Fed. Today the ISM (Institute for Supply Management) number for the month of July hit the wires and boy howdy was it a shocker.
Activity for US manufactures took a big leap upward to 55.4 from June's 50.9 reading! That was the best reading since June 2011.
If that was not enough, the employment component of the data jumped to 54.4 from 48.7. That, coming on the heels of today's jobless claims number, which came in at 326,000 versus an expected 345,000 got the attention of traders in a big hurry. With that, stocks were off to the races, bonds plummeted and the Dollar soared against all of the majors.

My Favorites
Ra was the God of the Sun. He sailed across the heavens in a boat called the 'Barque of Millions of Years'. At the end of each day Ra was thought to die and sailed on his night voyage through the Underworld, leaving the Moon to light the world above. The boat would sail through the twelve doors, representing the twelve hours of night-time. The next dawn, he was born again.
Hathor was the goddess of joy, motherhood, and love. She looked after all women. She was the goddess of music and dancing, as well. Dead women were identified with Hathor, as men were identified with Osiris. She has a sun disk on her head and cow horns. Sometimes she had cow's ears or was a whole cow.
Hathor had another side as well, as Sekhmet, the Eye of Ra, the destructive Sun Goddess. The Egyptians knew that the Sun brought life, but they also knew that the desert Sun could kill you.
The sky is Nut's body, arching from horizon to horizon. Geb is the Earth, lying beneath her. During the day, Nut and Geb are separated, but each evening Nut comes down to meet Geb and this causes darkness. If storms came during the day, it was believed that Nut had come closer to the earth. She was originally the goddess of the nighttime sky, but eventually became referred to as simply the sky goddess. Her headdress was the hieroglyphic of part of her name, a pot, which may also symbolize the uterus.
Geb was the Egyptian god of the Earth and a member of the Ennead of Heliopolis. It was believed in ancient Egypt that Geb's laughter was earthquakes and that he allowed crops to grow. The name was pronounced as such from the Greek period onward, (formerly erroneously read as Seb[1] or as Keb).
Osiris is shown as a man with a beard wearing white mummy wrappings. His crown is the white crown of Upper Egypt surrounded by red feathers. His skin is green to represent vegetation. He holds the symbols of supreme power, the flail and crook. The crook is used by shepherds to catch their sheep. The flail is used in threshing, to separate the grains from the outer husks. Osiris was the God of the Dead. You would expect that such a god would be gloomy or even evil, but the Egyptians thought about death a lot. They mummified their dead and buried them with their belongings so they could enjoy themselves in the afterlife.
Seth (or Set) is shown with an animal's head with a long curved pointed snout, slanting eyes, and square-tipped ears. Sometimes he has a forked tail. No-one seems to know what the animal is. Aardvark, antelope, ass, camel, fennec, giraffe, greyhound, jackal, jerboa, long-snouted mouse, okapi, oryx and pig have all been suggested! Seth was the God of the desert, storm and violence, which are all enemies of the fertile, properous, narrow valley of the Nile.
Horus is shown as a hawk, or a man with a hawk's head and the crown of all Egypt. This makes him look similar to Ra, but Ra is crowned with the sun disk. Horus' crown is made of two parts. The white part is the crown of Upper Egypt (in the south) and the red part is the crown of Lower Egypt (including the Nile delta). Together they show that Horus ruled all Egypt. During their reign, Pharoahs identified themselves with Horus. After they died, they became Osiris.
Isis was the great mother-goddess. Her son was Horus, the enemy of Seth. Sometimes she has the baby Horus on her lap. Sometimes she has a throne on her head, as she is Queen of the goddesses. Sometimes she has a sun disk and horns, like Hathor. Isis was also a great healer and magician.
Thoth invented hieroglyphs, the picture writing of Ancient Egypt. He was the measurer of the earth and the counter of the stars, the keeper and recorder of all knowledge. The ibis is a bird rather like a stork, with long legs and a long beak which it uses for prodding in the mud to find small fish. It was a symbol of wisdom and learning because it has a beak shaped like a pen which it dips in the mud, as if it was ink.
Anubis invented embalming to embalm Osiris, the first mummy. He was the guide of the dead. The Egyptians embalmed their dead, especially their pharaohs, to preserve them, since they thought that this helped them live for ever.
Ma'at was the goddess of truth, justice and harmony. She was the wife of Thoth, the god of wisdom, since you need wisdom to find truth and justice. Both Ma'at and Thoth helped at the Weighing of the Heart.
Amun was an important god, but there are no stories about him. He created all things. At the same time, he remained apart from creation, totally different from it, and fully independent from it. In fact, he was invisible, so you couldn't have a picture of him! However, if you called him Amun-Re, this allowed people to see him. Then he had a hat with ostrich feathers on, and like all gods with human heads, a beard. Re is another way of spelling Ra, the sun god.
Bastet was sometimes called bast. She was the goddess of cats. She is a cat, or has the head of a cat, but originally she had the head of a lion. Every day the sun god Ra would travel in his ship across the sky. Every night the snake Apep tried to stop the sun god's ship on his journey through the underworld. Ra was usually won these battles. However, on stormy days, or during an eclipse, the Egyptians believed that Apep had been victorious and swallowed the sun. Bastet defended her father Ra against the snake.

In the end it is hard not to be wearied by marketing, however attractively packaged it is. To be fair to the National Basketball Association, however, last night's much-hyped exhibition match between the Chicago Bulls and Utah Jazz in London was an attractive, if often seriously weird, package.
Perhaps the fact the NBA envies the riches currently being generated by the Premier League, especially in the much-coveted Asian market, should be a source of pride, because Americans present their sport so relentlessly, overpoweringly, migraine-inducingly well.
But tell that to the crowd, which made its way to Greenwich last night. Despite prices which the Premier League would dearly love to be able to charge – courtside seats £250, floor seating £150, minimum price elsewhere £35 – the O2 Arena was a sell-out, with many a young Brit there to see the Sudan-born Brixton-raised Luol Deng in the flesh.
Given Deng is something close to seven feet tall – rightly did one former coach remark that any American boy can be a basketball star when he grows up, and up, and up - there's a lot of him to see, but there had been a question mark over his fitness. But although a stress fracture in his right leg had prevented Deng representing Great Britain at the European Championships this summer, there was no way he wasn't going to show.
The C-listers were out to see him too. Half the professional footballers in London were courtside, with Spurs particularly well represented, but the Bulls started poorly, Deng of all people giving up an immediate interception. Not that it really matters when you only have to blink to miss a score. By the end of the first quarter the score was 27-26 to the Bulls, there had been two time outs, during which the Utah dancers strutted their stuff, the hyperactive mascots – a bull and something that looked like the wrath of God, but was apparently some sort of bear – had thrown T-Shirts to the crowd and listened to cheesy tunes being belted out on an organ. When it played 'If you're happy and you know it clap your hands', everybody did.
The entertainment in the break was even slicker. The Jazz Dunk team rolled out a couple of springboards and performed a series of such remarkably gymnastic, well, dunks, you had to watch the replays to believe your eyes hadn't deceived you.
The game, when it resumed, felt like a distraction. At the next time-out, a lad called Edward shot so many long baskets he won a trip to New York. He walked off wearing a smile and a Utah dancer on his arm.
The points kept coming, and so did the gimmicks. 'Disco cam', picking out whichever sap in the stands happened to be gyrating most ridiculously at the time. It was chaos, but even chaos can have a pattern, and the pattern was on the scoreboard, high above the court.
Another time out. Now it was about cheering to decide who had won a training shoe design competition. Forget it, the players were back.
Deng scored, to bring up the Bulls' 50. At half-time a woman on the tallest unicycle in the world balanced pots on her head, throwing them up with her feet.
Sated with brilliant nonsense, it felt as though the crowd would have happily settled to simply watch a second half in which Deng began to show why the Bulls signed him to a six year deal worth a basic $40m.
The time outs, also known as advertising breaks, kept coming though. A blindfolded woman had to find Elvis. Kiss Cam demanded embarrassed couples pucker up. Smile Cam – well, you get the idea.
The game, surely to no-one's surprise, went to the wire, before being won by Chicago with the final throw of the game by 102-101. Deng, of course, was the leading scorer.
No doubt when the NBA stage a regular season game here, as Commissioner David Stern insisted they would in either 2010 or 2011, the game will be decided purely on athletic merit. But there will still be a race between inflatables, and an awful, awful lot more besides.

Today I received a fun e-mail from the folks at Weeds -- they have the publicity department working hard on 4/20!
The show returns June 8 at 10 p.m. for its fifth season. We already know a few things about the episodes, including the fact that Jennifer Jason Leighwill playMary-Louise Parker's sister.
Check out the new promo poster:
In other Showtime news, a series called Nurse Jackie debuts after Weeds' season premiere. It stars Edie Falco as a hospital nurse who's, ahem, "walking the line between saint and sinner." And while that may sound like an intense drama, it's being billed as a comedy.
Peter Facinelli also stars. Check out this behind-the-scenes preview:

"SimpliVity's all-in-one platform was the perfect fit for our VDI project. After seeing the SimpliVity product we didn't even consider any of the traditional solutions."
– Steven Bauwelinckx, IT Manager, Eubelius
Eubelius, a prominent independent law firm with offices in Brussels, Kortrijk and Antwerp, replaced its capacity-constrained legacy IT implementation with SimpliVity hyperconverged infrastructure. The SimpliVity solution provides a highly scalable foundation for the firm's virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) implementation, and ensures high performance and availability for the organization's core business applications and IT services.
Business Challenge: Infrastructure Modernization and VDI
Eubelius' siloed IT implementation had reached the end of its useful life. The firm's legacy infrastructure included HP ProLiant servers and HP EVA
storage arrays that were running out of capacity. The organization was also constrained by an antiquated tape-based data protection solution. Data backup and recovery procedures squandered storage capacity and took hours to complete. Steven Bauwelinckx, IT Manager for Eubelius, sought to refresh the firm's aging IT infrastructure as part of a VMware Horizon VDI initiative.
After receiving a detailed product demonstration, Bauwelinckx selected SimpliVity OmniCube hyperconverged infrastructure for the firm's nextgeneration IT environment. "We took one look at SimpliVity and we knew it was the way to go," says Bauwelinckx. "SimpliVity offers an all-in-one solution that is easy to deploy and administer. The product's built-in data protection features and rapid VM cloning and recovery capabilities were major selling points. After seeing SimpliVity we didn't even consider any of the traditional solutions."
SimpliVity Solution
SimpliVity OmniCube provides a scalable, modular, 2U building block of x86 resources that offers all the functionality of traditional IT infrastructure—including hypervisor, server, storage, and data protection functions—in a single device, with a unified administrative interface. Eubelius installed a four-node OmniCube configuration in its primary data center and another OmniCube node in a secondary location for disaster recovery. "We replaced two full equipment racks of legacy HP equipment with four 2U OmniCube nodes that offer far greater capacity," explains Bauwelinckx.
SimpliVity's built-in data protection capabilities help Eubelius safeguard critical data and avoid application downtime. The firm has slashed backup and recovery times from hours to just seconds. "When we had a problem with our 700GB SQL server we were able to fully recover it in just a couple seconds," explains Bauwelinckx.
SimpliVity's real-time deduplication, compression and optimization technologies deliver breakthrough performance and data efficiency. The solution dramatically reduces storage consumption and allows efficient remote data protection over a 40Mbps WAN link. "With SimpliVity we can now automatically replicate data to our Antwerp office," says Bauwelinckx. "We eliminate the costs and hassles of creating tapes and sending them offsite.
SimpliVity's VM-centric administration and easy-to-use user interface help Eubelius simplify operations and respond more quickly to the needs of the business. System administrators can clone, move or restore VMs in seconds, with just two or three clicks using the familiar VMware vCenter console.

Hi all!
Jacqui Devaneau, Patrick Bagley, Trish Jackson, Josh Girard, John Rensenbrink, Betsy Garrold, Abriel Ferreira, and I had a great time this past weekend tabling at the Common Ground Fair!
Abriel and Trish holding down the fort for the Maine Green Independent Party this past weekend.
It seems to me that with each passing year, people grow more and more sympathetic to our cause, and converting people from being "Green in their heart" to being Green in their votes and party registration is easier this year than ever!
As I said in the last email, we have a long standing relationship with the Common Ground Country Fair.
And that long-standing relationship was honored this past weekend, as the Maine Green Independent Party (and Jacqui Devaneau specifically) was awarded "Friend of the Fair" by the Common Ground Fair judges, for having been a steady presence at the Common Ground Country Fair every year for the past decade.
Our Friend of the Fair award, courtesy of the Common Ground Country Fair
Not only that, but so far, between the Candidate Recruitmentpage and the time spent tabling at the Common Ground Country Fair, we currently have 14 new candidates who have indicated that they want to run for office with the Green Party-- many of whom are going to be starting up municipal chaptersstarting right now, to build their volunteer base for their run in 2014, and to help them collect signatures and clean election checks this coming January.
If you'd like to start a municipal chapter, check out our "how-to" guide!
Our new candidates hail from Belfast, Northport, Bangor, Brewer, Unity, Liberty, Biddeford, Sanford, South Berwick... and if you decide to run, we'll have a candidate from your town too!
We're looking to recruit 35 candidates for state senate, and 100 for House. We're off to a good start!
Would you like to help us in reaching our candidate recruitment goals?
We also had several students who are registered Greens (and an international Green from Uruguay) who are interested in starting up a Campus Greens chapter at College of the Atlantic, and Unity College!
The folks with whom I spoke personally, I gave them 'intern' level access to our database, and sent them via email, a link to their call list for either the district they are looking to run for, or just for their municipality.
Having a list of Greens to call through is a helpful first step to building up a local Green Party chapter. If you are interested in starting a local group, be sure to email me at asher [at] mainegreens [dot] org, or call me at 207-200-MGIP (6447).
It was a great Fair, and as always, it's a pleasure to be able to meet the Greens from around the state in person and talk one on one with them. It's rare to get the opportunity to do that in a state as large and rural as ours, and one that I appreciate whenever I get the chance.
Green and Growing,
Asher Platts
Chair, Maine Green Independent Party

Risk management
IBM has released a new product that tackles internal network security threats.
The Identity Risk and Identification software analyses user activity on a network and looks for irregularities that might suggest unauthorised or improper access.
Jargon-buster guide to GDPR
The 10 most important things you need to know about GDPR, and a jargon-buster explanation for some of the key terminology.

The new software is part of IBM's Identity Management Services, one of IBM's security software offerings.
Identity Risk and Identification can compare a user's previous network activity with new activity, and plot that use against the activities of other users, said IBM.
The product can complete a prospective analysis, enabling network administrators to pinpoint potential misuse. Usage patterns can be plotted in reports.
IBM said Identity Risk and Identification is an extra security layer to user IDs, passwords and biometrics, since these methods only confirm user access and cannot verify proper use.
In a 2005 survey by the FBI and US Computer Security Institute it was found that 56% of US firms had reported internal security breaches.

Flying out of San Diego this morning (yes, my vacation is over), I've been thinking about the beaches we visited last week. Mid-week, we took a break from the desert, and headed to the coast to the shi-shi town of Laguna Beach. At the end of the week, on our way into San Diego to fly home, we stopped at the wild Torrey Pines State Park.
Beaches really are a fascinating microcosm of the world around them, and I'm not talking about the wildlife.
Laguna Beach was like a giant bar. Full of beautiful, tanned, and fit people, it's a place to see, to be seen, to strut your stuff. Surrounded by hotels on the bluffs, and wonderful places to eat and shop at beach level, it's a jewel. Interestingly enough, though, it was also restrictive. At 42, pasty-white, and a little overweight, I was out of my element on Laguna Beach. Even the aging beach boys, despite matts of grey or white hair on their chests, were buff, tanned and wearing stylish trunks. No matter. We had a great time, anyway.
Torrey Pines, on the other hand, was like a neighborhood. People brought their lawn chairs, towels, sun chairs, boogie boards, surf boards, buckets, shovels, BBQs, and so on. They made a day of being at the beach. In fact, one had the impression that there were a lot of neighbors at the beach as they socialized and chatted. At the one end of the beach, most of the surfers congregated. At the other, the scene was "beach social". And, among all the beautiful people there were also plenty of pudge-hounds like me.
At Laguna, a few people swam, but most people stayed on the beach. At Torrey Pines, there were a lot more people swimming. In fact, there was generally, just a lot more going on at Torrey Pines.
Laguna Beach, in telecom terms, was a walled garden. It was really there for only a few things. If what you were looking for was sun, tanning, and beautiful people, Laguna was the place to be. Torrey Pines, on the other hand, was the wild west of the Internet; a multitude of things to do, and diverse people.
At Torrey Pines, my kids started digging a hole in the beach. It looked well back from the tide. Soon it grew to be two massive depressions, with a foot high sand wall facing the sea. A little further down, another group of kids started doing the same. To the left of us, some local kids with garden spades started on a project of their own. Soon, the meme among the kids at the beach became "how big a hole and wall can you dig?". And then the tide started coming in. Soon, the walls started to collapse. Interestingly, what happened next was that kids from one swamped project would move to another and begin to shore it up. Occasionally, another kid would take over one of the abandoned projects and start to try to rebuild it, or at least maintain it.
Soon, we were down to just one major wall remaining, with a crowd of people trying to trench it, build it up, and maintain it against the sea. With all those people, bringing all those tools, the young fellow maintaining it was the king of a small empire of helpers. I dubbed him Captain Ahab, knowing full well that eventually even his frail ship would be sunk by the leviathan of the tide
I laughed watching this, recognizing the open source spirit at work. As one of the projects clearly gained enough momentum to sustain itself, the leaders of other projects abandoned their efforts (in some cases to new maintainers) to work on the best. They brought their tools, their ideas, and their muscles to help do the heavy lifting and buttress Captain Ahab's fortress against the onslaught of the tide.
Eventually, Ahab's wall was breached and his magnificently large hole swamped like the rest. Once the water filled in behind, it was just a matter of time before it collapsed. Perhaps that's where my open source analogy also collapses.
One of the biggest differences between Laguna and Torrey Pines was commercialism. Laguna was relentlessly commercial, with just about every scrap of land around the beach devoted to high priced shops and restaurants. For instance, we wanted to buy ice cream at a small ice cream shop near the beach, but didn't. $4 per cone would have been $24 for the six of us. We ate dinner at a recommended taco bar, Taco Loco. It was nearly $50 for six tacos, six drinks, and two sides, with no service, and sidewalk seating. Way overpriced.
Torrey Pines was the exact opposite. It's a state park, bordered on the land side by the Pacific Highway, and a salt marsh. Now, it's only a short trip up Camino Del Mar to great eating in Del Mar, but if you wanted to eat at Torrey Pines, you brought lunch. And people did so, toting in coolers, awnings, and barbecues. And, because it's a state park, there were definitely no shops.
That difference neatly encompasses the net neutrality debate, in my mind. The incumbents want to build a Laguna Beach and all of the commercial opportunities it affords. Newcomers want the freedom to use "the beach", or rather, the network, in any way they can conceive of. Some have even gone so far as to suggest that that government ought to designate "the beach" a public resource, fearing that commercialism will constrain the potential of "the beach".
Laguna was nice to visit, but ultimately you can only watch the plumage and mating rituals of Homo Sapiens "Californicus" for so long before it gets old. However, I'd go back to Torrey Pines in a heartbeat.
And I'll leave it you to try to guess where I stand on Net Neutrality.

About meI am a young, creative author that writes speculative fiction and Fantasy. I enjoy a mix of the modern and the mythical, kind of like urban fantasy, but also I love Terry Pratchett's Discworld books for their originality and humor. Neil Gaiman is another one of my favorites. When I'm not working on my latest book, I'm playing guitar, ukulele, painting and drawing my illustrations, as well as appreciating visits to Art Galleries and book talks. I have a twin brother who's at University now, and he visits me occasionally.

By Mary Zeiss Stange
"They paved paradise, and put up a parking lot."
The refrain of Joni Mitchell's old hit might as well be the theme song of a steam-rolling property rights movement in the West. Initiatives have made their way onto this November's ballot in six Western states — Arizona, California, Idaho, Montana, Nevada and Washington — that would sharply limit the concept of eminent domain and bar government seizure of private property without just compensation. Until recently, these initiatives have drawn little attention, but planners and policymakers around the country are beginning to take note of them, and for good reason.
On the face of things, this "anti-takings" movement makes sense. Supporters cite last year's U.S. Supreme Court ruling in Kelo v. New London (Conn.), in which by a 5-4 vote the court upheld the seizure of a handful of private homes standing in the way of a large development project on the grounds that it would serve the larger "public purpose" of creating jobs and generating tax revenue.
In a vigorous dissent, then-justice Sandra Day O'Connor objected that "nothing is to prevent the State from replacing any Motel 6 with a Ritz-Carlton, any home with a shopping mall, or any farm with a factory." This argument strikes a chord with voters, especially when coupled with images of Susette Kelo displaced from the only home she had ever known. Surveys suggest that as many as 90% of Americans disapprove of the seizures allowed by the Kelo ruling. Polls also point toward substantial public support for the anti-takings initiatives.
With such strong public sentiment in favor of these measures, what is not to like about them?
Voter, beware
Actually, a lot. The property-rights movement is just the latest incarnation of the "wise-use" movement of the 1990s — except without the pretense of being wise. On their face, these initiatives are about preventing government from the "physical takings" allowed by the Kelo ruling. Hence their innocuously worded titles: "Protect Our Homes," "The Home Owners Protection Effort," the "People's Initiative to Stop the Taking of Our Land," and so on. But they actually amount to "Kelo-plus."
Their goal is to block "regulatory takings," says Leonard Gilroy, a senior policy analyst at the public policy research group Reason Foundation, based in Los Angeles.
Translation: These initiatives would gut local and state abilities to enact or enforce virtually any regulations affecting private land use and development.
And more: They would require government to compensate property owners for the worth, in the form of lost property value and/or lost potential income, of any restrictions imposed upon them. The cost to municipalities of enforcing commercial and residential zoning regulations, environmental quality laws, and so on would be devastating. The Washington State Green Party rightly calls that state's anti-takings initiative a "Trojan horse" in terms both of its environmental and economic consequences.
'Trojan horse' parallels
Like the original Trojan horse, this one comes from outside. Despite a concerted effort to portray the property rights movement as a grassroots phenomenon, all six initiatives made it onto the ballot thanks to large infusions of out-of-state cash — lots of it from one man, New York real estate developer Howard Rich.
Rich's two advocacy groups, the Fund for Democracy and Americans for Limited Government, alone have funneled about $4 million into the petition process of getting these initiatives onto state ballots. Much of the money has gone to professional signature-gatherers, most of whom travel from state to state pushing innocuously worded petitions and are paid by the signature. Prices range from $1 a pop in California to $3 for every name collected in Arizona.
The High Country News, a non-profit news magazine covering issues in the West, quoted one such signature-gatherer, Eric Dondero: "This is a statewide petition to protect our property rights. To keep that new eminent domain law from coming to Montana and taking our homes away." Spoken by an itinerant professional petition-pusher from Texas, this hardly amounts to prairie populism. On the contrary, it represents a calculated effort to deceive voters about the likely consequences of property rights initiatives.
In Montana, the strategy might not have worked. In September, a Montana District Court judge invalidated the petitions gathered in support of Interstate 154, on the grounds that there was clear evidence of fraud in the way signatures were obtained. The state supreme court has upheld the ruling.
Voters in the other five states, however, will in a few days confront an issue of devastating simplicity. Vote "No" and you are, supposedly, giving up your rights to life, liberty and property. Vote "Yes" and the backyard in which the next "in-fill" housing development or Wal-Mart breaks ground could well be your own.

At present moment, the settings in the display properties are set to "default monitor" with and 800x600 resolution. If I attempt to change them, things get really ugly looking. Could you provide me with a link to get the drivers I need to make my monitor work properly? Thanks!

I found what I was looking for after talking to the MAG support team. Thank you for your time and effort!
MAG 900 LT976s Drivers needed?
I replaced my DVD-ROM and put the cover on. When I press on the PC, the screen reads Analog RGB Searching then Digital RGB Searching then Analog Searching. All in about 4 seconds. Then the screen says, No Input Signal, Going to SLEEP. Then the Monitor power light turns orange (stand by?).
Help Me OBee-Wahn Kanobee, You're My Only Hope
Did you install the correct video card and chipset drivers?
Is it showing 16 and 32 bit as options under the "settings" tab on display properties?
SOURCE: Mag Innovision LT776s Model 780
Sounds like an inverter problem. If the power supply is internal replace the capacitors coming out of the voltage regulators. These are usually 1000mf and/or 470mf. If that doesn't do the trick look up the numbers on the 8-pin chips that drive the secondary transformers on the inverter to see if they are getting the right voltages.
Good Luck!

SOURCE: My MAG Innovision Monitor went blank, only works if I stay connected to internet
usually this problem is caused by a faulty inverter circuit. transistors might been running too hot or a leaky capacitors also.not an easy task but try looking down for any defects on high voltage sections.

SOURCE: Does the MAG LT-456s require drivers
Perhaps your screen resolution is set too high. Try using a different display to set your resolution to 800x600, then attach the MAG display. Adjust from there once it is working...

SOURCE: Mag Innovision LT576S monitor goes blank after 2 seconds
I would think that the monitor is the issue, especialy that in safe mode it still does not function properly!
The fault with the monitor may be in the scan amplifier circuits, and or the power supply.
When I used to service these, I found many times that there were defective electrolytic capacitors in the scan amplifier sections and the power supply that gave problems.
This type of repair is time consuming, and when out of warranty it may not be worth the cost.
I would be seriously considering an LCD monitor.

First aired on The Current (15/2/12)
Thirty years ago, on Feb. 15, 1982, the Ocean Ranger oil rig sank off Newfoundland, with the loss of its entire crew of 84 men. It was the worst maritime disaster in Canada since the Second World War. To mark the 30th anniversary of the tragedy, The Current aired the documentary "Still Sinking: Remembering the Ocean Ranger Disaster," produced by Marie Wadden.
The documentary includes archival material from news coverage of search-and-rescue operations, and features two Newfoundland writers: novelist Lisa Moore and author Susan Dodd, whose eldest brother, Jim, died in the disaster.
In the documentary, Lisa Moore reads passages from her novel February, which depicts the emotional toll of the tragedy through the story of one fictional family. Susan Dodd has recently published the non-fiction book The Ocean Ranger: Remaking the Promise of Oil, in which she examines what measures could have been used to better protect the people working on the rig. She talks about the impact of the tragedy and the lack of accountability that continues to be a problem in offshore oil operations.
The documentary begins with lines from Moore's novel: "The Ocean Ranger began to sink on Valentine's Day 1982, and was gone by dawn the next day. Every man on it died..."
For Susan Dodd, negligence and inadequate training and safety measures were to blame for the tragedy. "How did this happen? How did that rig get out there with that Newfoundland and Canadian crew, without adequate regulation? It's shocking, really, when you think about it," she said.
Dodd also cites a more recent offshore tragedy: In March 2009, 17 workers died when a Cougar helicopter en route to the Grand Banks oil fields crashed. The incident took her back to the terrible day 30 years ago when the Ocean Ranger sank. For her, it also revived questions about how to make offshore working conditions safer. "It wasn't a problem of not knowing how, it was a lack of will, and it was an absence of regulation. The Cougar crash is the same deal. They knew how to make that safer, and they decided not to."

What is the Difference in Coconut Oil Prices?
If you've ever read the back of our label, you may notice a blurb that starts out, "I know what you're thinking...'What makes me so special?'" Recently we were asked, "What is the difference between your coconut oil and the Trader Joe's virgin coconut oil, which they say is cold pressed and never heated? Yours is much more expensive. Just curious."
- Fresh - Our factory lies deep within the jungles of Vietnam, amidst the coconut palm trees.
- Raw - Our coconut oil is never heated above room temperature which ensures it is 100% raw.
- Unique - Nutralock Technology uses almost triple the coconuts and takes up to 3x as long to craft.
Thanks so much for asking about the difference between Skinny Coconut Oil and other coconut oils on the market! Skinny Coconut Oil is produced by a state-of-the-art technique which takes hand-picked coconuts (that the locals collect) and extracts the oil through a dehumidification process that we call Nutralock Technology. Not only is this process unique to the market, but it enables our guarantee that our coconut oil is 100% pure, 100% raw, and NEVER heated. Other commercial coconut oils use an extraction method that raises the temperature of the oil - which yields more oil per coconut yet diminishes its nutritional value - and THEN cold press it. The problem with this method is that the oil is no longer technically raw as anything heated over 115 degrees is considered by most raw food advocates to be "cooked." Further, the very important medium-chain fatty acids (MCFA) and lauric acid along with the other fatty acids, vitamins and minerals lose much of their potency and their ability to accomplish all of the wonderful benefits of truly RAW coconut oil.
We are seeing miraculous effects of Skinny Coconut Oil in areas of raising metabolisms, balancing blood sugars, killing candida, bacteria and virus and a host of other amazing results. We feel strongly it is because of the medium-chain fatty acids and lauric acid being intact from our oil NEVER being heated. Other coconut oils aren't able to compete in these areas because most other oils come from large manufacturing factories where they are processing millions of gallons of oil a year. The United States FDA allows companies to add up to 20% of other oils and byproducts and still consider a product 100% 'pure' .
We are a small family-run company who has a member of our family living in Vietnam insuring the quality that comes out of every jar of our very special, medicinal grade coconut oil. We treat the locals, who help run our company, with respect and in return we have what we believe is the absolute BEST coconut oil on the market! Our coconut oil looks, smells, feels and taste completely different than any other product on the market in the US. We are proud of our product and our process and feel confident that when you try our oil, you will agree.

World Bank sees protracted recession in Russia
MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russia faces a protracted recession as the impact of Western sanctions lingers and oil prices stay low, the World Bank said in a report published on Wednesday.
In its baseline scenario, the bank expected Russia's gross domestic product to contract by 3.8 percent in 2015 and a further 0.3 percent in 2016, describing medium-term growth prospects as dim.
The World Bank's lead economist for Russia, Birgit Hansl, said "adjustment to the new oil price reality and the sanctions environment" was a key policy challenge.
"If we look more into the medium term, the main challenge for Russia is the continued dearth in investment," she said, presenting the report.
The bank's latest forecasts are more pessimistic than those made in December, when it expected the economy to shrink by 0.7 percent this year and grow by 0.3 percent in 2016.
The new baseline forecasts assume that the oil price will recover only marginally over the next two years, averaging $53 per barrel in 2015 and $57 per barrel in 2016, reflecting ample global supplies and moderate demand.
Under a more optimistic scenario, with oil averaging $65.5 per barrel in 2015 and $68.7 per barrel in 2016, the economy would contract by 2.9 percent this year and grow by only 0.1 percent in 2016, the World Bank said.
Its latest forecasts assume that sanctions imposed against Russia because of its role in the Ukraine conflict would stay in place in 2015 and 2016.
The sanctions could have damaging long-term consequences that may last even after the sanctions are lifted, the bank said, citing the case of South Africa where sanctions imposed in the 1980s caused a major slump in investment. Continued...
