General annotation (Comments)
Function | As part of the Ragulator complex it is involved in amino acid sensing and activation of mTORC1, a signaling complex promoting cell growth in response to growth factors, energy levels, and amino acids. Activated by amino acids through a mechanism involving the lysosomal V-ATPase, the Ragulator functions as a guanine nucleotide exchange factor activating the small GTPases Rag. Activated Ragulator and Rag GTPases function as a scaffold recruiting mTORC1 to lysosomes where it is in turn activated. LAMTOR1 is directly responsible for anchoring the Ragulator complex to membranes. Also required for late endosomes/lysosomes biogenesis it may regulate both the recycling of receptors through endosomes and the MAPK signaling pathway through recruitment of some of its components to late endosomes. May be involved in cholesterol homeostasis regulating LDL uptake and cholesterol release from late endosomes/lysosomes. May also play a role in RHOA activation. Ref.9 Ref.11 Ref.12 Ref.15 |
Subunit structure | Part of the Ragulator complex composed of LAMTOR1, LAMTOR2, LAMTOR3, LAMTOR4 and LAMTOR5. LAMTOR4 and LAMTOR5 form a heterodimer that interacts, through LAMTOR1, with a LAMTOR2, LAMTOR3 heterodimer. The Ragulator complex interacts with both the mTORC1 complex and heterodimers constituted of the Rag GTPases RRAGA, RRAGB, RRAGC and RRAGD; regulated by amino acid availability. Interacts with LAMTOR2 and LAMTOR3; the interaction is direct. Interacts with RRAGB and RRAGD; the interaction is direct indicating that it probably constitutes the main RAG-interacting subunit of the Ragulator complex. Interacts with MMP14. Interacts with CDKN1B; prevents the interaction of CDKN1B with RHOA leaving RHOA in a form accessible to activation by ARHGEF2. Ref.9 Ref.11 Ref.15 |
Subcellular location | Late endosome membrane; Lipid-anchor; Cytoplasmic side. Lysosome membrane; Lipid-anchor; Cytoplasmic side. Cell membrane Ref.9 Ref.12. |
Induction | Down-regulated by cholesterol (at protein level). Ref.12 |
Sequence similarities | Belongs to the LAMTOR1 family. |

We are anxious to confirm your status as a major gift recipient. The xxx family has been selected to receive a (7) night fun-filled cruise for two adults. All meals, on-board activities and entertainment are included. All cruises will be on a Carnival Cruise ship. There are four different cruises to choose from. All to either The Caribbean or The Mexican Riviera. Ports of departure include Los Angeles, CA, Galveston, TX, Miami FL and San Juan PR. Retail Value up to $1800. All that is required is that you attend a 90 to 120 minute presentation showcasing our vacation possibilities. Call immediately.
The post card also listed "a certificate good for $500 in Air Checks (airline discount vouchers).
So here's the deal: After you go waste your afternoon at the timeshare presentation (which we've done before, but have been pleased with our "gifts" in other situations), you get the REAL scoop for your "free stuff."
The cruise is during low season. To register for the cruise, you must send $299 per person for "port taxes and processing fees." Once your registration is activated, you must submit (request) 3 valid dates of departure, with at least a 90 day notice, and 30-days apart. Surcharges apply for peak season or holiday travel.
Also, you can't ask any questions until you've paid the "processing fees". Here's what the form says: To streamline the process, we will not be able to handle any phone calls prior to receiving your registration form. Once your registration validation form is received, you will be given detailed informaton on how to make your cruise reservations."

The Promotional Travel Voucher that you refer to in your complaint is an incentive product that we market to companies that use them as an incentive to get you to participate in an informative presentation about their travel club or other type of business. When you receive our voucher, the terms and conditions are printed on the back of the voucher. It clearly states that there are fees that you are responsible for (i.e. port fees and taxes, peak season, or holiday fees, if they apply as well as options for upgrading your accommodations). *This is not a free trip* and nowhere on our voucher does it state that it is a free trip. It also clearly states that it is for a cruise during low season and even lists the dates for you so there are no misunderstandings. We do provide the toll free customer service number as well as our website on the voucher.
The $299 deposit that is initially required is applied to the fees at the time that you travel. If, for any reason you do not travel, you may write in and cancel your voucher and request a full refund, which is processed and mailed to you within 6-8 weeks (standard time for processing of refunds). Any additional fees that may be due at time of booking would be based on any peak, or holiday travel that you are requesting. Which would still be a savings of 10 - 30% over what you would otherwise be able to book that same trip.
I cannot address the comments regarding any other representation to you other than what is clearly printed on our vouchers. Your signature is required on the voucher when you mail it in to activate it. It states that you have read and understand the terms and conditions and therefore are signing in agreement with these terms. It also states that you should not rely on any representation other than what is in the contract.
We have a strict company protocol and policy that we follow in fulfillment of these vouchers and are constantly striving to make the process as straight-forward as possible. We welcome your comments as they assist us in providing better customer support and ultimately a better travel experience for our customers.
If you have any additional questions or comments, please don't hesitate to contact our Customer Service Department at 866-653-2139. Our representatives would be happy to assist you.

There's definitely a lavatorial theme. At the Grand Prix, will the grandstand seating be on toilet seats?
1st February 2014, 16:55 at 4:55 pm #248479So did Schumacher…and he came back.
Bad news for salmon.1st February 2014, 9:13 at 9:13 am #203644Maybe it wasn't through extensive research. I've just worked out where the double points idea came from pic.twitter.com/DdGkoQOQiD

31st January 2014, 8:17 at 8:17 am #24743234 is bagged, by Dani Juncadella.
28th January 2014, 9:16 at 9:16 am #247428What was the point of doing all this – if you still can't see the numbers on the cars?
At least you can see from the front on the Ferrari and Merc (the way they've done the 44 it looks even more like a McLaren!) and Williams have shown for many years that they get it.
But try finding the number on a Force India, Lotus or Toro Rosso.And they've missed a trick by not having numbers in different colours like the bikes or US series.
27th January 2014, 14:11 at 2:11 pm #228162Probably ought to start a new topic about 2014, but the good news is BBC have held on to Allan McNish. He'll be doing radio commentary for 15 Grands Prix, and it sounds like he'll be on TV as well.
Allan McNish joins BBC team for 2014 season
Pretty poor that there's no thanks or acknowledgement of Gary Anderson's good work. I suspect "BBC Head Of F1 Ben Gallop" secretly hates F1 – every year he's made some decision about presenters (I refuse to call them 'talent') that makes me think "why?! If only…"
But McNish is a superb communicator, and may be an improvement on Gary in terms of clarity, and knowledge of tactics and hybrid systems. We'll see how much he knows about aero, but he can probably spot and report on what's new for each race and session.
24th January 2014, 22:32 at 10:32 pm #246384Yep, that's how the nose should be done. Fingers crossed.
The double endplates are just for the last race…24th January 2014, 20:39 at 8:39 pm #246380No Johnnie Walker on the car either (but it's on the drivers' suits) so yes, they're just saying the prime spots are up for grabs if you pay them enough. They've had MP4 numbers on the launch cars before – here's Mika Hakkinen in 1997:
To me, that just shows how good orange would have looked.
23rd January 2014, 18:56 at 6:56 pm #246363I hope they get this deal, and just paint the car white with Martini stripes (like the original Brabhams)
We need another white car now that Force India have gone over to the dark sidepods.23rd January 2014, 11:20 at 11:20 am #246354McLaren Mercedes announce renewed partnership with Santander, so maybe their logo will be back again on the car. The bad news is Jenson Button's lame ads will be back again on TV.
Meanwhile Norton Rose Fulbright forms unique corporate partnership with McLaren Mercedes – thankfully not as title sponsor…
21st January 2014, 20:02 at 8:02 pm #230445If TV's Anthony Davidson is still doing regular sim work for Mercedes, I'd be tempted to use him if Lewis falls over his dog or something. He'd know about the new engines and systems, be present in most of the F1 paddocks – or away racing hybrid Toyotas with even more regeneration and harvested energy than an F1 car.
21st January 2014, 19:56 at 7:56 pm #247421Maybe someone found a drawer full of old 9s and 10s, and had a great money-saving idea…
21st January 2014, 16:48 at 4:48 pm #246333Not all that different then, a few more white bits but nothing that's going to get mistaken for a Force India. Looks quite smart though, it's how the Jaguars should have looked.
What's the bike all about? Haven't heard anything about that.
20th January 2014, 21:03 at 9:03 pm #2304299 for Kobayashi is my guess. Found a few pics of him in a number-9 kart, he used it last year in Felipe Massa's Desafio das Estrelas race, and karting numbers are a popular choice.
No idea about Ericsson, but he'll avoid number 2 like all the rest of them…20th January 2014, 18:09 at 6:09 pm #246316Williams are using a "blue heritage livery" for testing, so I guess it will look like this. Usually better than the final colour scheme!
I hope that just means they haven't opened the tin of yellow paint yet.

Patient Stories
From A to Z, I was impressed
"I took my son, Chandler, to the emergency department at your children's hospital on Labor Day. Poor Chandler had a freak accident at the park Sept. 5. For 24 hours, I thought the poor guy had just pulled a muscle. But, as his pain continued, I knew something else must be wrong. I never would have imagined he broke his femur.
I went to the children's hospital knowing orthopedics is a specialty. I knew there was a children's wing, but I did not understand it's more than a wing—it's a passion.
From the moment I arrived in the emergency department to the minute I drove away after discharge, my family was made a priority. It is nice to see health care workers who still have passion for their jobs and their patients. I can tell you firsthand that many hospitals have lost this touch. From A to Z, I was impressed: The staff was great, the facility was clean, the food was good and was easy to access with an impatient toddler.
I can't say "thank you" enough for all the wonderful help. We express our gratitude to all who touched our hearts and made a serious situation much easier to handle.
I was in emergency medical services for 13 years—including 10 as a paramedic—and, all these years, I've never thought of University of Minnesota Amplatz Children's Hospital when parents ask for suggestions. But, that was a big mistake. Now, I am so excited to spread the word and start to direct parents to the new children's hospital, with its dedicated pediatric emergency department."

Manatee County Sheriff's Office investigators arrested three 14-year-old boys in connection with a rash of burglaries in Mill Creek on June 10.
According to sheriff's office reports, a deputy responded to a burglary call on the 800 block of Springwood Circle in Greenfield Plantation at about 5 p.m., July 28. Suspect(s) had broken the front window of a vacant home, entered it and unlocked all the doors and opened the windows. From that call, the deputy developed leads on three suspects. Each was tracked down in separate areas of Manatee County.
In a subsequent interview, one of the juveniles confessed to the Mill Creek vehicle burglaries. His mother had found several electronic items of high value in his room, and the boy admitted he had stolen them from vehicles in Mill Creek, the report stated.
The electronic equipment was placed into property under MSO 09-38487.
The names of the three juvenile suspects have been withheld.

Your donation makes a difference - thanks to the support of citizens like you, crime in Atlanta is down 18% since 2009! Click here to make a tax-deductible donation to the APF Annual Fund today.
The Atlanta Police Foundation was established in 2003 to provide vital support to the Mayor, the Chief of Police and the Atlanta Police Department. The organization is based on a public-private partnership model that has proven to be highly effective in the prevention and reduction of crime in other major cities. Since its inception, the APF has worked to secure and leverage private resources to fund high priority projects designed to enhance the City of Atlanta's ability to fight and prevent crime.
As a result of the work of the APF, since 2003 there has been an increase in number of police officers on the streets and an increase in the engagement of Atlanta's business community and neighborhood residents in fighting crime. Additionally, the City has experienced a 58% reduction in the violent crime rate and a 41% reduction in crimes overall. Furthermore, Atlanta moved from being ranked the second most violent city in America to the twenty-fifth.
"As Mayor of Atlanta, I have made public safety and the growth of our Police Department a priority. The City of Atlanta is fortunate to have a great partnership between its police department and the Atlanta Police Foundation. The Foundation's many programs are vital to our efforts to build a world-class police department and make Atlanta the safest city in America."
--- Mayor Kasim Reed
Our programs are strategically focused to complement the Atlanta Police Department's vision of becoming the safest large city in America. We give high priority to programs that address the need for more police visibility and improved police operations.
"The Atlanta Police Foundation has been a valuable partner in our quest to keep the city safe and make the APD the finest force in the land. They have been the driving force behind many of the programs and initiatives that have proven to be extremely effective in our fight against crime."
--- Chief George N. Turner
We also provide strategic counsel for the APD and aid in bringing private and public sector resources together for short and long range security planning for the City.
We continue to partner with the business community and the citizens of Atlanta in an effort to make Atlanta the safest and most inviting city for all its residents, workers and visitors.

Goodbye, Pluto. Hello, "Dwarf Planets"!
The original draft resolution for the definition of a planet, published on August 16th, would have included Pluto, Ceres, 2003 UB313, and even Pluto's largest satellite, Charon, among bona fide planets. But this "12-planet proposal" (which was based almost entirely on gravity-induced sphericity) met with strong opposition from dynamicists, who complained that the dominance of an object over its orbital region should also be taken into account. Consequently, in a discussion meeting on August 22nd, a new definition was drafted that would accommodate only the eight largest objects from Mercury through Neptune (not counting moons) and would demote Pluto and similar bodies to "dwarf-planet" status.
A further option considered today was to attach the adjective "classical" to the eight large planets. As Jocelyn Bell-Burnell of the IAU Resolutions Committee pointed out during the well-attended closing session this afternoon (using an inflated balloon, a Disney-toy Pluto, and an umbrella as props), this would mean that there would be two types of planets: classical ones and dwarfs. Such an approach would not rob Pluto of its planethood, but it was rejected by an overwhelming majority of attendees.
Today's result means that schoolchildren needn't worry about memorizing the names of dozens of planets. Instead, future textbooks will list just eight planets, then go on to mention the large and growing number of dwarf planets, of which Ceres, Pluto, and 2003 UB313 — which codiscoverer Michael E. Brown (Caltech) has informally dubbed "Xena" — are the largest discovered so far.
"I'm of course disappointed that Xena will not be the tenth planet," said Brown in a statement released this afternoon, "but I definitely support the IAU in this difficult and courageous decision. Pluto would never be considered a planet if it were discovered today, and I think the fact that we've now found one Kuiper Belt object bigger than Pluto underscores its shaky status." Now that 2003 UB313's own classification has been resolved, the IAU will ask Brown to suggest a real name for it, says Ted Bowell (Lowell Observatory), who serves on one of the IAU committees responsible for solar-system nomenclature. "We hope to announce a name within a month or so," he said.
Some astronomers wanted to postpone all these decisions to the IAU's next triennial meeting, in 2009 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. But Kaare Aksnes (University of Oslo, Norway) noted that if no definition had been agreed upon this afternoon, "astronomers would have been the laughingstock of the whole world." Michael Rowan-Robinson (Imperial College London) agreed: "We would have been regarded as idiots."

Quiet Halloween night with a few passing showers late
This Afternoon: Partly Sunny, Cool
Highs: Mid 50s | Wind: SE 5 m.p.h.
Tonight: Mostly Cloudy, Passing Light Shower East
Lows: Around 40 | Precipitation: Light if Any
Tuesday: Partly Cloudy, Seasonal
Highs: Mid to Upper 50s | Wind: N 6-12 m.p.h.
A disturbance will push into the area today bringing extra clouds and the chance for a few light showers late tonight. For trick-or-treating tonight, temperatures should be right around the 50 degree mark under mostly cloudy skies. Showers appear like they will be possible by 10pm mainly east of I-95. Tuesday will feature a few clouds for the start of the day but clearing skies by afternoon with highs in the mid to upper 50s.
High pressure will remain in control Wednesday and Thursday with sunny skies overhead and seasonal temperatures in the upper 50s to lower 60s. Friday, another system will push through the area, giving another chance for a few showers with highs near 60 degrees.
At this time, the weekend looks great with temperatures around 60 degrees under mostly sunny skies. Remember we Fall Back Sunday morning so set those clocks back one hour as Daylight Saving Time ends.

Among other things, Southland Indian casinos are known for their dining specials, and Casino Pauma in northern San Diego County has a couple of good ones.
The tiny casino rests in the hills a few miles above its more awe-inspiring neighbor, Pala Casino, a pleasant 40-minute drive out of Temecula.
Getting there is half the fun. The meandering country road (Highway 76, off Interstate 15) takes you past all sorts of sites tucked behind Palomar Mountain; grazing longhorn cattle, horse ranches and buffalo.
The road is pretty popular with bikers seeking a peaceful weekend retreat.
Most serious gamers heading south from the Inland region might prefer Pechanga or Pala for their getaway, but Casino Pauma offers a less noisy, toned-down gambling experience than those megaresorts.
And though the dining options are limited in comparison, the Pauma Bay Cafe's daily breakfast special and lunch buffet are delicious and cheap.
For $3.95, my breakfast included two eggs, hash browns, large slice of ham, a buttermilk biscuit and a drink.
The cafe's daily specials are omelet (Sunday), eggs Benedict (Monday), bacon and eggs (Tuesday), country breakfast (Wednesday), sausage and eggs (Thursday), chicken fried steak (Friday) and ham and eggs (Saturday).
For $2 more you can satisfy a sweet tooth with the French toast (four half-slices) and eggs breakfast, which includes three slices of crisp bacon.
The lunch buffet is $9 and changes daily, from a Mexican spread (Chicken Valdez, carnitas, Chile Colorado, rice and beans) on the day I was there to Italian favorites, fried chicken and build-your-own burgers.
The buffet is small compared with other casino buffets in the area -- six trays of hot food, salad bar, dessert bar and ice cream station -- but the price is right.
The cafe is in the back, past the poker tables. When you see the palapas, palm fans and Hawaiian-shirted wait staff, you're there. You can choose to dine in or outside on tables under the trees.
All review meals in The Guide are paid for by The Press-Enterprise.

THE liberal wing of the Democratic Party, in control of both houses of Congress in the middle of the Great Recession, pursued gargantuan bailouts and created a vast new health care entitlement program.
Normally sensible Democrats went along out of party loyalty.
Together, Democrats tripled the annual deficit and increased the national debt to $14 trillion.
Then there was an election.
The Democratic Party got shellacked, losing control of the House of Representatives. Voters sent a lot of Democratic foot soldiers home.
The truth is, the irresponsible wing of the party has seriously damaged the Democratic brand.
Some Democrats get this and some do not.
Freshman Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., raised eyebrows this week by blasting President Obama on the floor of the U.S. Senate for failing to lead efforts to slash the nation's deficit.
With Congress on track to spend another $1.6 trillion more than it will take in this year, the Republican-controlled House of Representatives proposed $57 billion in cuts to this year's budget.
The Democrats proposed only $6.5 billion in spending reductions, a level Manchin said "utterly ignores our fiscal reality."
Manchin said the proposal "continues to sail forward as if there's no storm on the horizon."
But there is.
Democrats currently finishing up their legislative session in Charleston should consider their choices with care.
The party has controlled West Virginia since 1933.
There is no way around it. The state's current condition is their doing, and it's not good.
The party has run up a $7 billion unfunded liability for public employee pensions and an $8 billion unfunded health care liability for state employees in retirement.
State Senate President Earl Ray Tomblin, acting as governor since Manchin won election to the U.S. Senate, gets what Manchin was saying.
Tomblin proposed one-time pay supplements for public employees and a 1-cent reduction in the food tax.
State senators decided they'd rather throw permanent pay raises around, but they backed a measure that might have cut the unfunded liability for retiree benefits.
That approach would not have stuck the public with the whole $8 billion tab.
It offered at least the hope of some restriction of benefits, and thus, of the burden facing the private-sector taxpayers who will have to pay for it all.
The House of Delegates, on the other hand, wants even larger raises and backs a retiree health care measure that requires sacrifices only of taxpayers.

Having successfully cleared the final of 14 fences aboard Sunshine Numbers, jockey Jody Petty took a peek back to check on the rest of the field in Saturday's 79th running of the $50,000 Carolina First Carolina Cup (Gr. III) Steeplechase.
After several days of hard rain, Friday morning's skies lightened to blue, a parade of puffy gray and white clouds slowly marching by. The sun, as much as it could, began to dry the muddy ground around barns far back from Springdale Race Course's schooling course off Knights Hill Road.
It wasn't coolers, but kegs that turned out to be the story of the day in Springdale Race Course's College Park at Saturday's Carolina Cup.
The National Steeplechase Museum (NSM) in Camden has many photos from previous Carolina Cup races and is looking for your help in identifying anyone whom you may know in these two photos. If you can identify any of the persons pictured in either of these two photos, please contact the NSM at 432-6513 or vie e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com.
On a rainy Thursday morning, the sky never looked so beautiful from Rafael "Ray" Fernandez's perspective.
Before rumors begin swirling as to a possible jockey controversy involving who would ride Sunshine Numbers in Saturday's $50,000 Carolina First Carolina Cup Steeplechase (Gr. III), Arch Kingsley wanted to get the word out that he did not plan to upset the apple cart when it came to the hometown horse which he trains.
One-by-one, they walked in step behind one another around the shedrow.
It is now down to a five-horse race.
It has been a memorable 2011 for John Fort's Peachtree Stable. And, the year has not even reached the quarter pole.
It will not exactly be business as usual in College Park for Saturday's 79th running of the Carolina Cup Steeplechase Races, but the objective will be the same.
The Boykin Spring Fling Untimed Trail Ride will return May 1 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Red Bank Farm in the Boykin community.
While Jorge Torres continues to lie in a hospital bed at Palmetto Health Richland recovering from an assortment of injuries suffered as the result of his being thrown from Malibu Moon in last fall's Colonial Cup, his friends, family and even those who never met the 26-year-old jockey are not leaving his side.
It took being unseated by the same horse which threw Jorge Torres into a nightmare of a past four months for Rafael "Ray" Fernandez to realize that what took place at the Springdale Race Course last November was not his fault.
Saturday is the final day to purchase reduced price, advance tickets for the 79th running of the Carolina Cup Steeplechase Races at the Springdale Race Course on Saturday, April 2.
Mr. Commons, a 3-year-old colt prepared in Camden by Mickey Preger Jr. at the Camden Training Center, had a bullet work at five furlongs on Tuesday at Santa Anita Park.
Saturday, March 15 is the final day to purchase discount general admission tickets for the Carolina Cup steeplechase races.
Even though the Carolina Cup is more than a month away, reserved parking spaces are selling at a brisk pace.
Invitations for the Carolina Cup steeplechase races were sent out to those on the organization's mailing list last Friday. And tickets and parking spaces for the event are now on sale.

Apollo Beach Travel Tips
Apollo Beach Vacation Rentals Are a Great Alternative to Hotels
What's great about Apollo Beach vacation rentals is that you are staying in an actual house or condo, and many of these vacation rentals are right on the beach. By staying in a home right on the beach, you have the luxury of being able to walk right out onto the beach and enjoy the surf and sun within minutes.
Beaches are a great place to spend time with your family. You can make sand castles, throw the Frisbee around, go swimming, or search for shells. And when your family is ready for lunch, you can head back to the vacation home and have lunch.
Things to Do in Apollo Beach
Near the Apollo Beach condos and vacation rentals is the Manatee Viewing Center. Here you'll find an inlet along Apollo Beach where manatees, sharks, and dolphins can be seen, especially between November and April. Not only is it a place where you can view sea life and ocean mammals, but there are also games, exhibits, and a hurricane simulator. It's all about education—and fun!
Shopping near Your Central West Waterfront Rental
If shopping is your thing, then be sure to check out the Ellenton Prime Outlets, which is an open-air mall that has a relaxed feel. There is also a flea market that is near exit 138 on Highway 75. It's open every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday all year. Who knows, you might just find a treasure.
But no matter what you decide to do on your Apollo Beach vacation, you'll be glad you chose to rent one of the many Central West waterfront rentals rather than stay in a hotel. Apollo Beach condos and vacation homes are all decorated by the owners, and so each is unique. You may love it so much that you'll want to make it a yearly tradition!

About IDOT in Motion
This website has been created to facilitate public input and provide facts about the U.S. 52/IL 64 over the Mississippi River Preliminary Engineering and Environmental (Phase I) Study, process, and schedule. The U.S. 52/IL 64 project involves a study to replace the existing U.S. 52 bridge over the Mississippi River between the states of Illinois and Iowa, and the reconstruction of IL 84 at the north end of Savanna, Illinois. We invite you to explore the website and provide your comments and recommendations regarding the study through our Get Involved section.
The Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) has undertaken the U.S. 52/IL 64 over the Mississippi River Study. IDOT is the lead agency with input being provided by The Iowa Department of Transportation (IADOT). This study is examining transportation needs and solutions for the replacement of the existing bridge that carries U.S. 52 over the Mississippi River between Savanna, Illinois and Sabula, Iowa. The project also involves the reconstruction of IL 84 at the north end of Savanna, Illinois. The study includes a public involvement process, and includes opportunities for stakeholder input and feedback.
IDOT hosted a public open house meeting to kick-off the U.S. 52/IL 64 over the Mississippi River Phase I Study. The meeting was conducted in an open house format, and held on June 27, 2012 from 1:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. at the West Carroll Primary School in Savanna, Illinois. The purpose of the meeting was to introduce the project, and solicit feedback on project alternatives. IDOT provided information regarding the study schedule and process, study area characteristics, public involvement opportunities, and presented conceptual alternatives to address corridor needs. Attendees had the opportunity to review exhibits, provide comments, and meet with IDOT and study team representatives on a one-on-one basis.
Meeting results, materials, and a summary are posted to the Information Center.

This exceptional sandwich originated at Penny Cluse Cafe in Burlington, Vermont. The spinach, mushroom and onion filling is so satisfying, you won't even miss the corned beef.
Bananas cooked in a delectable brown-sugar-rum sauce make for a quick yet impressive dessert.
We give succotash—traditionally a Southern dish made with corn, lima beans and peppers—an update using edamame instead of limas and turn it into a main dish by adding shrimp. To get it on the table even faster, purchase peeled, deveined shrimp from the fish counter instead of doing it yourself. Make it a meal: All you need is a warm piece of cornbread to go with this complete meal.
The chocolate will stiffen if it gets cold, so enjoy it while it's still warm. Skewer and dip anything you like—pear slices, dried apricots, even marshmallows.
Curry complements seared scallops, tart apples and sweet dried cranberries while toasted almonds add crunch in this quick fall dinner salad. Serve with toasted whole-wheat baguette and a glass of sauvignon blanc.
In this one-skillet supper, we toss dark leafy greens, diced tomatoes and white beans with gnocchi and top it all with gooey mozzarella. Serve with a mixed green salad with vinaigrette.
This crab and asparagus melt is delicious for a light spring dinner or lunch. You can use any type of crabmeat—including more affordable options available in pouches or cans near other canned fish or in tubs in the seafood department. Serve with a tossed salad.
Low in fat doesn't have to mean low in flavor. Indeed, ingredients like citrus zest and juice, vinegars and many Asian condiments go a long way in seasoning dishes without a lot of fat. And modern-day cooking equipment, like nonstick pans and cooking spray, allow you to cook with less oil, cutting down on those pesky fat grams.
These main dishes, sides and desserts are full of flavor but not fat—they all have 5 grams or less of saturated fat per serving. Plus these dishes are ready in 30 minutes or less, making a low-fat, flavorful meal possible any night of the week.
Sorry, there haven't been any comments yet.

How to Manage Expiration of Blob Content
Updated: July 31, 2013
The value of caching blobs in the Windows Azure CDN is realized when the content is delivered from the CDN edge cache, so content requested only once during the blob's time-to-live period will not get performance improvements from edge caching. The blobs that benefit the most from caching are blobs that are accessed frequently during their time-to-live period.
The time-to-live period specifies that the blob should be cached for that amount of time in the CDN before it is refreshed by the Blob service. The CDN attempts to refresh the blob from the Blob service only once the time-to-live period has elapsed.
You have two options for controlling how frequently cached blob content is updated:
You can explicitly set the x-ms-blob-cache-control property on a Put Blob (REST API), Put Block List (REST API), or Set Blob Properties (REST API) request, or use the Windows Azure Managed Library to set the BlobProperties.CacheControl property. Setting this property sets the value of the Cache-Control header for the blob. The value of the header or property should specify the appropriate value in seconds. For example, to set the maximum caching period to one year, you can specify the request header as
x-ms-blob-cache-control: public, max-age=31556926
. For details on setting caching headers, see the HTTP/1.1 specification. -
You can rely on the default heuristics of the cache network, rather than explicitly setting a caching value. By default, the CDN determines freshness by inferring from a ratio based on the cached blob's last-modified time, which is the last-modified time of the blob at the moment at which it was cached. The longer the period during which the blob's content at the origin has not been modified, the longer the CDN caches the blob without checking the origin for content updates. The assumption is that a blob that has not been modified for some period of time is likely to remain unmodified for a longer interval than a blob which has been modified more recently.
Currently, a blob's freshness is calculated as 20% of the interval between the present time and the last-modified time, up to a maximum interval of 72 hours. For example, a blob whose last-modified time was 30 minutes ago will be considered fresh for six minutes in the CDN cache. After the blob has been cached for six minutes, the CDN will, upon the next request for the cached blob, check the blob at the origin with a conditional request to re-cache the blob if it has been modified since it was last cached.
If 20% of the interval between the present time and the last-modified time is greater than the maximum interval of 72 hours, then after 72 hours have elapsed, the CDN will check the blob at the origin with a conditional request the next time the blob is accessed. For example, if a blob's last-modified time is 30 days ago, the CDN will mark the blob for a freshness check upon next access after 72 hours, and not after 6 days (as a 20% interval would suggest if there were no maximum).
Note that the default heuristics apply only in the case where the caching period has not been explicitly specified using the x-ms-blob-cache-control property or the BlobProperties.CacheControl property.
Note |
The freshness calculation described here does not provide a guarantee as to when any given cached blob will be refreshed. The freshness calculation and maximum interval described here may be subject to future change by Windows Azure. |
Any content that you wish to cache via the CDN must be stored in your Windows Azure storage account as a publicly accessible blob. For more details on the Windows Azure Blob service, see Blob Service Concepts.
There are a few different ways that you can work with content in the Blob service:
By using the managed API provided by the Managed Library Reference.
By using a third-party storage management tool.
By using the Windows Azure Windows Azure Storage Services REST API.
The following code example is a console application that uses the Windows Azure Managed Library to create a container, set its permissions for public access, and create a blob within the container. It also explicitly specifies a desired refresh interval by setting the Cache-Control header on the blob. This step is optional – you can also rely on the default heuristic that's described in Overview of the Windows Azure CDN.
Assuming you have enabled the CDN as shown above, the blob that is created will be cached by the CDN. Be sure to specify your account credentials using your own storage account and access key:
using System; using Microsoft.WindowsAzure; using Microsoft.WindowsAzure.StorageClient; namespace BlobsInCDN { class Program { static void Main(string[] args) { //Specify storage credentials. StorageCredentialsAccountAndKey credentials = new StorageCredentialsAccountAndKey("storagesample", "m4AHAkXjfhlt2rE2BN/hcUR4U2lkGdCmj2/1ISutZKl+OqlrZN98Mhzq/U2AHYJT992tLmrkFW+mQgw9loIVCg=="); //Create a reference to your storage account, passing in your credentials. CloudStorageAccount storageAccount = new CloudStorageAccount(credentials, true); //Create a new client object, which will provide access to Blob service resources. CloudBlobClient blobClient = storageAccount.CreateCloudBlobClient(); //Create a new container. CloudBlobContainer container = blobClient.GetContainerReference("cdncontent"); container.CreateIfNotExist(); //Specify that the container is publicly accessible. BlobContainerPermissions containerAccess = new BlobContainerPermissions(); containerAccess.PublicAccess = BlobContainerPublicAccessType.Container; container.SetPermissions(containerAccess); //Create a new blob and write some text to it. CloudBlob blob = blobClient.GetBlobReference("cdncontent/testblob.txt"); blob.UploadText("This is a test blob."); //Set the Cache-Control header on the blob to specify your desired refresh interval. blob.SetCacheControl("public, max-age=31536000"); } } public static class BlobExtensions { //A convenience method to set the Cache-Control header. public static void SetCacheControl(this CloudBlob blob, string value) { blob.Properties.CacheControl = value; blob.SetProperties(); } } }
Test that your blob is available via the CDN-specific URL. For the blob shown above, the URL would be similar to the following:
If desired, you can use a tool like wget or Fiddler to examine the details of the request and response.

A rare glimpse at what he had in mind for the company nine months before his return
The spring and summer of 1996 was an important period of transition for Steve Jobs. Pixar, which had gone public the previous November, had lost half its market cap. NeXT was collapsing. And in a matter of months Jobs would sell what was left of the company -- its NextSTEP operating system -- to Apple (AAPL), where it became the foundation of OS X.
The late Louis Rukeyser had no way of knowing what was brewing when he invited Jobs to appear on PBS' Wall $treet Week that spring. In retrospect, his first question seems almost comically beside the point: "What can we expect next ... from Pixar?"
But his second question is a doozy:

Osteoporosis is largely Preventable. Bones are living tissue and can become denser with weight bearing and weight resistance exercise. This process is called bone loading.
Skeletal Fitness by Mirabai Holland Interval Cardio/Strengthis a one-on-one Weight Bearing Exercise workout video For Osteoporosis and Low Bone Mass, Osteopenia
Mirabai adds, "We can reduce the impact of osteoporosis in much the same way that seat belts have reduced injuries in car crashes. Remember, an ounce of prehab is worth a pound of rehab!
The new DVD, titled Skeletal Fitness by Mirabai Hollandâ: Interval Cardio/Strength, addresses agility and fall prevention issues associated with osteoporosis. The new DVD includes 10-minute intervals of weight-bearing cardio dance movements alternated with intervals of weight bearing and resistance bone-loading upper body strength exercises. The routine helps prevent or manage osteoporosis, protects the cardiovascular system, strengthens and sculpts all at once. "I decided to turn Skeletal Fitness into a series of DVDs because osteoporosis is a huge age-related issue that's shaping up to be a monumental problem," Mirabai says. "With 12,000 baby boomers turning 65 daily and with half of women over the age of 50 projected to have an osteoporosis-related fracture in their lifetime, we women need to do everything we can to stave off this ugly disease. "We've known since the '70s that bone loading works. Studies with tennis players show that bones in the racquet arm grow stronger and more dense than the bones in the non-racquet arm, just as a result of whacking a ball back and forth. So my expanded Skeletal Fitness program is a fun, easy-to-do form of bone-loading."

Ditch Food Coloring
If day-glow birthday treats and bright red punch make you nervous about sending your kids to school, with a little thoughtful planning you can help teachers and parents consider a dye-free classroom.
Artificial food coloring has been making headlines lately with studies suggesting links to hyperactivity, behavioral issues and health concerns. Considering that most artificial food coloring is derived from things like petroleum (as are gas, kerosene and asphalt), it's no wonder parents are starting to take a second look at food labels. Food marketed to kids is often laced with a rainbow of artificial colors — from Red 40 to Yellow 5 — with food dye consumption up fivefold since 1955. While you can approve everything your kids consume while they're with you, you don't often see what's served in the classroom. If your family is trying to sustain a dye-free diet, here are a few ideas to help you get through the school year. Document your concernsContact your school administrators for a food restriction form and fill it out, so they have your request on file. When you submit the form, you can always include an FYI link or a printout of an article or study that illustrates your concerns. Since sometimes forms don't always make it from the administrators to the teachers, you can also bring a copy for the teacher with a hand-written note thanking them in advance for accommodating your request. Discuss your concerns with them and ask what you could do to make a dye-free diet more convenient to implement in the classroom. Engage other parentsIt's not always easy asking other parents to comply with your restrictions, especially if it's not a life-threatening food allergy, like peanuts sometimes are. Consider starting the school year with a note about your dye-free diet and ask parents if they'll be so kind as to keep that in mind when they're bringing in outside treats. Attach the note to a thank-you goodie bag filled with sample dye-free candy and snacks, along with a list of the brands and stores you frequent, in case they liked anything they tried. Throughout the year, reinforce the dye-free diet by being the example. Whether it's Halloween, Valentine's Day or your child's birthday, take the opportunity to pass out healthy options or even sweet treats that are free of artificial dyes, so teachers, parents and other kids can see how many great-tasting alternatives are out there. Bring in back-ups"Make sure you supply the teacher with back-ups that she can grab for your child if needed."
Keep in mind that every parent may not subscribe to your concerns about artificial dyes. Plus, even the most well-meaning parent can be too busy to plan out alternatives, or miss the food coloring on a quick label read. Make sure you supply the teacher with back-ups that she can grab for your child if needed. Provide dye-free popsicles they can keep in the freezer, or stash organic lollipops and other snacks in your child's backpack or cubby, so your child always has options to enjoy in place of whatever's being served. Having options available will help keep your child included in the treat-time fun without making a fuss! Read more about food and kidsCalming foods for hyperactive kids

The purpose of this study is to compare the frequency of long-term post operative pain after an open mesh repair ad modum Lichtenstein performed in local anaesthesia to that after an totally extraperitoneal laparoscopic repair (TEP) for primary inguinal hernia. The investigators will also be assessing the cost for the procedures and hospital care as well as the cost for sick-leave depending on procedure performed. The study hypothesis is that the laparoscopic approach will be associated with less long term post operative pain.

Adam Williamson says in a comment to this article that Microsoft's requirements (for PCs, not ARM) now state that it must be possible for the user to disable secure boot. Unless he's mistaken, that's a great relief! |

It's a relief, but Cathy has a point. Disabling a security feature strikes people as a negative thing, ... Even if that security feature is unnecessary. |

The only thing "secured" is Microsoft's shackles on consumers. This needs a graphic, tout-suite. |

An image of a person shackled hand and foot, with their mouth forced open and Windows 8 Metro being forced down their throat. The shackles should be clearly labeled UEFI. |

Fujifilm HS50EXR Bridge Camera, HD 1080p, 16MP, 42x Optical Zoom, 3" LCD Screen, Black
Click on the image to zoomProduct information
The Fujifilm HS50EXR bridge camera is a balanced choice for photographers who have outgrown their point and shoot. The huge 42x optical zoom will let you get closer to your subjects while a range of built-in filters and creative options let you tweak your photos. When a photo won't do, there's 1080p Full HD video for stunning home videos.
Key features:
- The new EXR CMOS II sensor with Phase detection AF and EXR Processor II make the FinePix HS50EXR a truly powerful camera when it comes to capturing moving objects. In addition to the 0.05sec. AF speed, it has a start-up time of 0.5sec., interval time between shots of just 0.5sec.
- Movie recording is as easy as taking pictures, with a dedicated Movie button to start recording instantly. The high resolution, 1080p movie capture at 60fps and slow-motion capture at 480fps is superb when played back on HD TV screens.
- The FinePix HS50EXR boasts a high-resolution (920K-dot) electronic viewfinder equipped with an eye sensor, making it easier to frame subjects and check focus in bright daylight conditions.
- Skip directly to frequently used shooting menus with the Q (Quick Menu) button. ISO sensitivity setting, White Balance, Film Simulation and other frequently used shooting settings are displayed in a list. Just use the 4-way controller to select the item and the command dial to change settings for speedy operation while shooting.
- The tilting LCD monitor lets even non-contortionists shoot photographs and movies from a variety of angles.
- Share pictures with friends and family, tagging pictures and movies for upload to Facebook and YouTube right within your camera.
- The FinePix HS50EXR can be used to record RAW images, which can be processed to suit the demands of the moment and saved in JPEG format using the supplied SILKYPIX software.
