|Defective intestinal amino acid absorption in Ace2 null mice.
MedLine Citation:

|Mutations in the main intestinal and kidney luminal neutral amino acid transporter B(0)AT1 (Slc6a19) lead to Hartnup disorder, a condition that is characterized by neutral aminoaciduria and in some cases pellagra-like symptoms. These latter symptoms caused by low niacin are thought to result from defective intestinal absorption of its precursor L-tryptophan. Since angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (Ace2) is necessary for intestinal B(0)AT1 expression, we tested the impact of intestinal B(0)AT1 absence in ace2 null mice. Their weight gain following weaning was decreased and Na(+)-dependent uptake of B(0)AT1 substrates measured in everted intestinal rings defective. Additionally, high affinity Na(+)-dependent transport of L-proline, presumably via SIT1 (Slc6a20), was absent, whereas glucose uptake via SGLT1 (Slc5a1) was not affected. Measurements of small intestine luminal amino acid content following gavage showed that more L-tryptophan than other B(0)AT1 substrates reach the ileum in wild-type mice, which is in line with its known lower apparent affinity. In ace2 null mice, the absorption defect was confirmed by a several fold increase of L-tryptophan and of other neutral amino acids reaching the ileum lumen. Furthermore, plasma and muscle levels of glycine and L-tryptophan were significantly decreased in ace2 null mice, with other neutral amino acids displaying a similar trend. A low protein / low niacin diet challenge led to differential changes in plasma amino acid levels in both wild-type and ace2 null mice, but only in ace2 null mice to a stop in weight gain. Despite the combination of low niacin with low protein diet, plasma niacin concentrations remained normal in ace2 null mice and no pellagra symptoms such as photosensitive skin rash or ataxia were observed. In summary, mice lacking Ace2-dependent intestinal amino acid transport display no total niacin deficiency nor clear pellagra symptoms, even under low protein and low niacin diet, despite gross amino acid homeostasis alterations.

NEW BEDFORD — True to Frederick Douglass' spirit, 19 people read his fiery 1852 speech on what it was like to be a slave on the Fourth of July at a community reading Wednesday night at the Friends Meeting House.
Young, middle-aged and old, they took turns reading sections of a 5,370-word, abridged version of the famous speech Douglass delivered on July 5, 1852, in Rochester, N.Y.
"What, to the American slave, is your 4th of July? I answer: a day that reveals to him, more than all other days in the year, the gross injustice and cruelty to which he is the constant victim," Douglass said. "To him, your celebration is a sham; your boasted liberty, an unholy license; your national greatness, swelling vanity ...
"There is not a nation on the earth guilty of practices, more shocking and bloody, than are the people of these United States, at this very hour," he said.
Lee Blake, president of the New Bedford Historical Society, sponsor of the event, said the reading was held to celebrate "Juneteenth," the day Union soldiers landed at Galveston, Texas, and announced the Civil War was over and freed the last of the slaves.
The military action was nearly 2½ years after President Abraham Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation went into effect on Jan 1, 1863.
And quoting Douglass, Blake said, "We are not free until all of us are free."
The reading was part of a statewide initiative — called "Reading Douglass in The Age of Obama" — to remember the struggles African-Americans have suffered in winning their freedom and acceptance, according to Blake.
And, for one, Blake said she never thought she would see an African-American president in her lifetime.
Lee Charlton, former president of the NAACP's Chapter in New Bedford, recalled how bad conditions were for African-Americans in the city when he arrived here in 1961.
Educational, housing and job opportunities were all terrible, he said. "They discriminated. They just didn't tell you," he said.
But now, in 2013, the "taboos are gone" because people are making up their own minds, he said.
"There has been a tremendous change of heart and only education can do that," he said.
Many communities are holding similar readings of Douglass' speech on the Fourth of July, but New Bedford attorney Jim Lopes said the sponsors decided not to hold it on the holiday because of the full schedule of community events that are already planned.
The text of Douglass' speech as well as other materials are available online at the Massachusetts Humanities' website, masshumanities.org.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) _ The Kansas City Star has endorsed Democratic challenger Jim Slattery in the Senate race in Kansas.
The Star's editorial Thursday noted that it supported Republican Sen. Pat Roberts in his 1996 and 2002 races.
But The Star said the senator made "serious mistakes'' by tying himself too closely to President Bush.
The newspaper said Slattery offers "forward-looking thinking'' on the economy, health care and national security.
The Star also criticized Roberts' tenure as chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee as being marked by "excessive partisan bickering.''
The newspaper concluded: "Jim Slattery presents a better choice for Kansas voters who want to see less partisanship and better judgment in Washington.''

A Matter of Principles
You might be surprised by the number of co-ops around you. Co-ops have been formed to sell produce and electricity, offer financial and banking services, provide housing and health care, and much more. So where did the bright idea for co-ops come from? It's a matter of principles (seven, to be exact). The modern movement traces its roots to a store started by weavers in the town of Rochdale (pronounced Rotch-dale) in northern England in 1844. The group was guided by a set of principles drawn up by one of its members, Charles Howarth. When introduced into the U.S. by […]

Plymouth couple married in ancient Celtic rite with Medieval traditions
Posted: July 30, 2012|
Happy couple Jez Menis and Kate Deler literally tied the knot when they married in a Medieval-themed wedding this weekend.
Against a beautiful backdrop at Terawhiti Farm at Thurlestone, near Kingsbridge, the couple, who come from Plymouth, undertook a special "hand-fasting" ceremony, which involves the binding of the bride and bridegroom's hand with a cord or ribbon.
The ancient Celtic rite wasn't the only unusual part of the day where a wedding breakfast and disco was replaced by feasting, storytelling and even a small sword-fighting tournament.
Two years ago Mr Menis, who makes armour and weapons for historical re-enactors, famously abseiled 220ft down Canonteign Falls in the Teign Valley, near Exeter, in a full suit of armour that he had made himself, to raise money for charity.

Boy Wonder: Andrew Garfield
By Kevin Maher Photos by Anthony Mandler 03 July 12
Hall H at the San Diego Comic-Con International, on 22 July 2011. A teaser trailer and a so-called "sizzle reel" of footage from The Amazing Spider-Man is screened before 6,500 comic-book devotees. It's a potentially tricky crowd, interspersed with a hard-core following of Tobey loyalists and "Andrew Who?" dissenters who have taken to the blogosphere in protest ever since the franchise reboot and the casting of Garfield was announced (Garfield, in 2010, beat a plethora of up'n'comers for the part, including Jamie Bell, Anton Yelchin and The Hunger Games' Josh Hutcherson).
The sizzle reel skims lightly through the film's dramatic arc and introduces Garfield as Peter Parker in sensitive yet individualistic James Dean mode, with a camera slung around his neck and a frown on his forehead, unwilling to bend to the school bully yet unable to beat him. A knockout seduction scene soon follows between Garfield's Parker and his high-school sweetheart, Gwen Stacy (Stone), where they banter by the lockers, they flirt and they connect, then the camera just sits there in front of Garfield's smitten visage, Coldplay swells on the soundtrack and you suspect that Garfield might have one of the most empathetic faces in the history of motion pictures.
"You look at Andrew's face and you cannot help but feel connected in a deep way," observes Webb. And certainly Garfield was the emotional anchor point for his two previous high-profile films, Never Let Me Go and The Social Network. Remember him in the latter, as Eduardo Saverin, absorbing quietly and stoically a litany of passive- aggressive insults from Jesse Eisenberg's Mark Zuckerberg until he explodes in a delicious computer-smashing release? Or in Never Let Me Go, sweet-faced and idealistic to the end, hoping for a reprieve from death, and believing in it, until, again, the closing-reel meltdown?
Back at Comic-Con, the sizzle reel is carefully ticking the traditional Spidey boxes. There's the spider bite, the transformation montage and the first emergence of the fully clad Spider-Man, who comically humiliates a dim-witted carjacker. Here, too, with his lithe and wiry physicality, it seems that Garfield is a boon for the franchise. A former school gymnast, with the physique to prove it, he tends to lead with his body rather than with dialogue. Indeed, his movements in Spider-Man proved so idiosyncratic, and so difficult to emulate, that Webb found it near impossible to use a stunt double in a suit for anything other than the most death-defying shots.
The footage ends with a face-off between Spider-Man and his nemesis, the Lizard (Rhys Ifans), and a clatter-bang of spectacle on the Manhattan Bridge. The lights come up and after some whoops of appreciation, a lone figure in a bargain-basement Spidey costume approaches the public microphone in the middle of the hall. He begins to speak, even though the movie's star panel has yet to assemble on stage. He is heckled by the moderator, and he is jeered by some, but he is quickly revealed to be Garfield himself (much hysterical screaming ensues). And in the end he gives a speech of such breathless and heartfelt sincerity ("I needed Spidey in my life when I was a kid, and he gave me hope!") that the last few doubters, if any remain, are wholly smitten by the cause.
The Comic-Con stunt was Garfield's idea and was done, reveals Webb, against the wishes of his studio bosses - turning up at Comic-Con in a rubbish costume and inserting yourself among the plebs might somehow devalue the brand. "I think everyone at the studio thought it was a bad idea," says Webb. "But Andrew said, 'No, it's the right thing to do.' He just willed his way into doing it, because he believed in it." When I mention the stunt to Garfield today he says, "I didn't feel comfortable being up on the stage with the audience down there on the ground. I wanted to put myself, literally, in their territory and make it about them. Plus I knew that this character means so much to so many people. And to me, and my three-year-old self."
Much has been made, of course, by Team Spider-Man about the apparent symbiosis between Garfield and his role (Amy Pascal, co-chairman of Spidey studio Sony Pictures has said that Garfield simply is Spider-Man). Here, they mostly talk about Garfield as a skinny English youth, growing up in suburban Surrey, immersed in comic-book culture and dressing in Spidey costumes for Halloween. And yet there was a real sense of pain in Garfield's Comic-Con panegyric, and an implication that the fantasy figure of Spider-Man was an antidote to a life of abject misery. He said, for instance, that Spider-Man saved his life. In what way?
"Well, as a teenager, as an adolescent I was, er..." he begins, before immediately snagging on his own reticence. "Arrghh, this is getting personal. I guess, I meant, urgghh, I'm not saying that I was suicidal or anything like that. I'm saying that, urrh, I can't imagine, arrghh, what I basically meant was..." He continues like this for a while and tries some platitudes about "standing up for the underdog", but eventually confesses: "It was a symbol of what got me through tough times in terms of being a skinny kid."
Was he bullied? He says "yes" and then launches into a stream of consciousness narrative about the bullying in his life that includes sequences such as, "because I was very confused when I first went to school, and there was a kid who was just mean and I just didn't understand it, and right into my teenage years, where I would be mugged on the street, or when I was 17 or 18 and I was in drama school, and I wouldn't be able to do anything because there'd be three or four of them and they'd take my wallet, and I'd come home feeling so disempowered and so angry!"
And there was another time too, he says, on a seemingly unstoppable flow, "When I was in Swiss Cottage, [London], going to my girlfriend's, and this guy caught me and told me to empty my pockets, and I was so desperate that I lied and said, 'Listen, I've just come from my mother's funeral!' It was an awful thing to say, but it worked, and it made him see me, and he sat on the steps with me for ten minutes instead, comforting me." Garfield, who confesses that he has always been an over-sensitive soul, begins to offer a theory about his magnetic gift for attracting muggers when another pop goes off behind his eyes and he stops himself, and has a retrospective wobble about what he's just said, two sentences ago. It's the mother thing. "I've never told my mum about that, and it might really upset her," he says, fretting. "She'd be heartbroken!" He suggests I strike it from the records, for her sake. I suggest he tells his mother, for his sake. He agrees to think about it.
At the time of the mugging, Garfield was attending Central School Of Speech & Drama in north London. He was living in a flat-share in Golders Green and working part-time in a menswear store in Hampstead. He was acting because it was the only thing for which he had, or so his teachers said, a talent. As the son of an entrepreneur-turned- swimming coach father and a primary school teacher mum (the pair met at a party in London), and as the younger brother of a straight-A-student-soon-to-be-doctor sibling, he wondered a lot, "Am I going to be the waster? Am I going to be the waster part of the family?"
He found validation in acting, but the oversensitivity was still there. After drama school, a plethora of best-newcomer theatre awards were followed by a BAFTA for his mesmerising turn as a former child-killer going straight in Boy A. And yet even that adulation seemed to be more problematic than satisfying, a taste of the imminent rapids. "That whole night was so shocking and scary," he says. "By the time I got home I started to have a panic attack. I had to go out and sit on the steps and look at the sky and say, 'That's a cloud. That's a star. That's the moon. And that, down there, is a person. And that's a dog, taking a s***.' It was the result of pure adrenaline fall-off, and the realisation that although the success of the night had felt really nice, it was never ever going to satisfy me." I ask him if he's ever been to therapy. "Have I ever been to therapy?" he repeats, stalling. "I don't know if I'm comfortable talking about that." I tell him that it's no biggie. I've been loads myself. And it's kind of a status symbol among a certain class of poseur. He eventually relents. "Yes, I have been to therapy. And I'm not ashamed of it. I've always been a little reserved about it, but I've loved it." We start to move on and, again, he qualifies, "If you bring up the therapy thing, will you say that we bonded over it?" Sorry? "Will you bring up the fact that we shared that?" I say that I'm not sure. He says that it's OK, he's just wondering.
After Boy A, Garfield was truly launched. A starring role opposite Robert Redford ("a true artist, a humanitarian and an amazing person") in Lions For Lambs was followed by a tendency to be cast as a doe-eyed sex partner for sophisticated ladies (see Michelle Dockery and Rebecca Hall in Red Riding, and Keira Knightley and Carey Mulligan in Never Let Me Go). "I know!" he says, giggling coyly at his own back catalogue, "I don't have any idea how I've ended up in bed with all these stunners! It's quite, ahem, humbling [laughs]!"
He acted with the late Heath Ledger, too, on The Imaginarium Of Doctor Parnassus, during which the actor died of an accidental overdose. The subject is the first genuine no-go area of the day. "All I know is that I loved him. I love him," he says, flushing with feeling. "And I think about him often. And I get sick thinking about the speculation around his death. You know, that's death. It's the one thing that binds us all. It's like, let it f***ing rest!"

There are games that never will come to the slower Wii U VC. Like Activision games, in january was deleted Pitfall and Shangai from Genesis in Wii VC. Even if Genesis come back to Wii U this games are an example of games that never will return (like Yoshi´s Cookies or all Commodore 64 games).
So keep downloading Wii VC games, it is very possible they never will back to Wii U VC, and if they back you can get them with discount.

Very good kelp product
Nothing beats the real whole plant but this is a great way to get some much-needed iodine thats a mercury-free (as far as my research on this product has yielded) choice that Im glad Ive made. For this price 300 tablets is a STEAL and they are easy to take (usually with a meal for me) once to twice a day (for me). Give it a shot this should last you almost an entire year and also good to have handy during winter months.

Track 1: Skills in the innovation process
Many skills are needed in the innovation process from the acknowledged creative skills of journalists, creators and artists to marketers, advertisers and investors. However, people with these skills often work in serial, not parallel, without a clear understanding of each others' contribution. To facilitate inter-disciplinary understanding, we have brought together people working in three areas – research, design, and development – to talk about their work. They will reflect on the value their discipline brings to innovation, its methods and approaches, how it is presented to and integrates with other elements in the process, current challenges, sources of inspiration, and new thinking in their area.
"I am someone who can explore possibilities in data. It's an ideation stage"

Ian Worley Research is the foundation of all innovation. As a set of tools and techniques that provide insight into the nature of things, research needs to be integrated throughout the entire design and development lifecycle. Arguably, research is just a formalised aspect of the creative process whereby observation is transformed through play and feedback into something which has meaning and value. In the world of media, where new technology is transforming how people create, access, collect, share and ultimately consume different media, research plays a particularly invaluable role in understanding the nuances of attitudes and behaviour at different social and cultural scales (from individuals to communities) needed to create innovative solutions and new directions.

Kevin Burke, chairman and CEO of Con Edison, answers questions during the press conference where County Executive Robert Astorino announced the opening of a multi-purpose Hurricane Sandy recovery center, Nov. 8, 2012 at the Westchester County Center in White Plains.

After 10 days and many cold nights, the man in charge of Con Edison showed his face in public.
Kevin Burke, the utility's chief executive, had been hiding from view ever since Superstorm Sandy swept through the New York region on Oct. 29 and knocked out power to hundreds of thousands of homes and businesses. But there he was on Thursday - bland and unrepentant - finally answering tough questions at a recovery center set up at the Westchester County Center in White Plains.
If he hadn't been invited by County Executive Rob Astorino, Burke would not have showed up at all. ...

In-depth analysis on new Mac Pro finds it's a bargain
updated 10:18 pm EST, Tue December 31, 2013
HP, Lenovo unable to match Apple on price, performance
A lengthy analysis of the new Mac Pro by hardware enthusiast site Anandtech has found that Apple's latest desktop not only offers a design that is unmatched in the industry, but that its mix of custom features (like Thunderbolt 2 support on the motherboard and special dual FirePro graphics cards) and low price (for a workstation of this caliber) make it a compelling option for creative professionals, and cheaper than other manufacturers' options.
The site compared the entry-level 3.7Ghz quad-core Mac Pro with dual AMD FirePro D300 graphics cards to somewhat similar configurations of HP and Lenovo workstation offerings. As with the efforts of a previous attempt by a DIY PC building enthusiast site, the reviewers found that they could not fully match the specs for anything close to Apple's price. Even with a few compromises -- a single FirePro card instead of dual cards, no on-board Thunderbolt 2 support but more flexible internal expansion options -- the difference in price was over $1,000 difference in Apple's favor, compared against a customized HP Z420 ($4,490) and a Lenovo ThinkStation S30 ($4,373). And Apple's price of $3,248 included AppleCare.
The team were able to best Apple's price, like the DIY site before it, only by dropping many of the Mac Pro's key features, such as using a Xeon processor, PCIe SSDs (which is more than twice as fast as standard SATA SSD storage) and higher-accuracy ECC RAM (crucial in some pro apps). While the resulting system would be of more interest to gamers than anyone doing serious pro-levle creative work, a machine built using an Intel Core i7 with 12GB of RAM, two FirePro W7000 GPUs and a SATA SSD came to $2,730, a very fast consumer-level PC about $770 less than the entry-level but more powerful Mac Pro.
The review also includes benchmarks comparing the new Mac Pro to previous editions, and notes that at present the new machine's support for third-party 4K high-resolution displays is currently spotty, though this is likely to change in future software or firmware updates. The benchmarks found the new Mac Pro unsurprisingly faster than any previous model with anything thrown at it, though obviously with legacy benchmarks and applications its performance was only 25 percent faster than the next most previous Mac Pro model.
On benchmarks using the latest Final Cut Pro, which has been tweaked to take better advantage of the new Mac Pro, results were suitably impressive, ranging from 2x performance up to 8x the previous model (when using a stock video card in the 2009-design Mac Pro). In benchmarks against Retina MacBook Pros and beefed-up previous Mac Pro models, it becomes clear that for pro-level applications, it is the dual FirePro GPUs that make at least as big an impact as the improved CPU, and in pro applications far more.
Cinebench benchmarks comparing the new Mac Pro to current consumer Macs like the MBP and iMac show that the new machine is nothing special on single-thread applications, but that when apps are able to take full advantage of the Xeon multi-core processor, it wipes the floor with even the quad-core i7 chip, again reinforcing that the latter chip -- while very fast by consumer standards -- is not an acceptable "good enough" alternative when building a serious workstation. The Mac Pro's multi-thread Cinebench 11.5 scores were 2.5 to 3x faster in 3D rendering, and more accurate Cinebench 15 put the Mac Pro more firmly at 3x to nearly 6x performance in 3D rendering compared to quad-i7 and quad-i5 Retina MBP performance.
In addition, the new Mac Pro will continue to improve as more apps and later updates of OS X are fine-tuned to take full advantage of the processor, RAM, storage and graphic capabilities. Tests using current versions of Adobe tools like Lightroom and Photoshop were comparable to previous Mac Pro scores, but future optimized versions are likely to significantly improve performance in these and other pro applications. This also includes gaming -- at present, the Mac Pro is not really the best option for a gaming machine (and every fiber of its design reiterates this), but should developers choose to optimize builds for it, it would likely be competitive with some of the best GPUs available.
At the moment, the main reason to buy a new Mac Pro is for Final Cut Pro and 3D rendering, but the future potential of the machine -- not even considering its unusual high upgradeability factor -- adds to its present allure. Presuming Apple improves 4K monitor compatibility and pro-app developers upgrade their software to leverage it, the new Mac Pro is not just a remarkably-engineered and trend-setting desktop workstation, but a long-term investment that will continue to mature, evolve and influence far beyond its revolutionary appearance and approach.

Followup: Details on Sunday's West Seattle (etc.) orca visitOctober 29, 2012 at 2:02 pm | In Seen at sea, West Seattle news, Wildlife | 6 Comments
(Photo courtesy Jeff Hogan NWFSC, taken under permit #13136)
Jeff Hogan of Killer Whale Tales, first to let us know on Sunday about the latest sightings of orcas in West Seattle waters, shares that photo taken while he was on a NOAA research boat later in the the day. He reports:
We followed them from roughly Alki all the way up to Mukilteo. We had all the members of J Pod, K Pod and a few L-Pod whales as well. Didn't see any foraging, but just lots of slow travel and socializing. Collected several fecal samples in addition to all the photo identification work.
He identifies the whale in the photo as K21, a male (if you didn't already know that because of the large dorsal fin) born in 1986, according to this page on the Center for Whale Research website. J, K, and L pods are the "Southern Resident" groups who live in this region, though they sometimes forage much farther away.

What an awesome new photo for city tourism! Sure changes the 'skyline'!
That is one handsome dude.

With all the whale action here in Puget Sound it might explain the missing seal and seal pup population. If there is really a lack of seals in this area. Just part of the food chain along with lots of salmon.
Comment by wetone — 9:06 am October 30, 2012 #
Seal Sitters has clarified the seal-pup situation on its own website – after a recent citywide-media report that didn't include the full context: http://www.blubberblog.org
wetone – the southern resident orcas (J, K and L pods) are fish-eaters. They prefer salmon, especially Chinook. They are most commonly seen in central Puget Sound (around here) October through February. There have been a lot of chum salmon around lately, and we assume that's connected with the whales being here, too -
Transient orcas also pass through here, and their main diet is marine mammals, like seals.
–While we've seen more transients in the past few years, it's unlikely they are having a significant impact on the seal population here. The transient pods are smaller, and their visits more rare.
–The exception to that was in 2005, when a group of transients spent a few months in Hood Canal, and reduced the seal population there by half!
Hope that helps -check out http://www.thewhaletrail.org for more orca info!

Now on display: Whitman's Report on Cemeteries
In honor of Memorial Day, the 1869 Whitman Report on Cemeteries is on display in the East Rotunda Gallery of the National Archives Building from May 22 through June 5. Today's post comes from curator Alice Kamps.
Memorial Day traditions began in the aftermath of the Civil War. The American people were just beginning what historian Drew Gilpin Faust called "the work of death."
An estimated 750,000 soldiers died between 1861 and 1865—about 2.5 percent of the population. Never before or since has war resulted in so many American casualties. The task of locating, identifying, burying, and mourning the dead was overwhelming.
Walt Whitman wrote of the nation's shared suffering in his epic 1865 poem, When Lilacs Last in the Dooryard Bloom'd:
I saw battle-corpses, myriads of them,
And the white skeletons of young men, I saw them,
I saw the debris and debris of all the slain soldiers of the war,
But I saw they were not as was thought,
They themselves were fully at rest, they suffer'd not,
The living remain'd and suffer'd, the mother suffer'd,
And the wife and the child and the musing comrade suffer'd,

We traded in our Jeep Commander to for the T&C. I sure do miss it, but the T&C is perfect for our family of 7! The 3rd row in our Jeep was so small, and had to lay middle seats down for the kids to get in the back. Love all the room in our van!
purchased a 2012 Town/Country Touring L in May 2012 - to date have had the transmission rebuilt twice and have scheduled the 3rd rebuild next week.
Sliding doors have major problems in inadvertent closing and stuck open.
Tire psi gauge inaccurate.
20 inch tires makes for a very delicate driving experience, too sensitive.
Building speed going up ramps and/or hills is tedious at best.
I bought this van to replace a 2004 Pontiac Montana that I drove for 9 years.
This new van is not the car that the Montana was.
I doubt I will drive this town/country van for more than a year, I 'll probably take the hit and trade it for another make.

Ethernet Switch Sales Up, Led By Cisco Analysts are saying that 2010Q1 and 2009Q4 sales figures of Ethernet hardware such as switches and routers are up, in some cases approaching pre-recession levels. While the analysts don't go so far as to say the recession is over or that this is a full recovery, they are saying things are getting better, which they attribute to factors such as improvements in the economy, pent-up demand and a reduction in backlog. Technological drivers include the growth of voice and video over IP, network-base

The Many Shades Of Open Every time I hear a vendor say "We have an open this or that" somewhere in the world, a Richard Stallman acolyte dies. Or that's the way it seems. Vendors have glommed onto "open" as if it is the all-important aspect of their product, whether the product or feature is in fact open or not. It belittles those features/protocols/standards that actually are open, while doing little to characterize what the specific feature is. There is nothing wrong with proprietary features and there are actually a

Are Converged Network Adaptors Suffocating The Virtual Machine? Last week I reviewed real-world results of a test between the Emulex UCNA and the QLogic 8152 CNA. The testing illuminated a performance delta between the products, and it demonstrated another important issue: a big difference in CPU utilization while running FCoE. For the past few months, Emulex has been making some fairly broad claims that its UCNAs can support nearly one million IOPS, which it says towers over the performance available from all other CNAs in the marketplace. Emulex said that,

Virtual Networking Is Not A Requirement Our clients ask us how network virtualization can help them and what it means for their IT priorities. I think most concepts of network virtualization add significant complexity to our IP networks where we really don't need it. In most cases, we tell our customers that it won't help much and that there are many other things they should worry about first.

At first, the union of Shakespearean actor and director Kenneth Branagh and a Marvel comic book hero seems like a mismatch of thunderous proportion. Just think back to Ang Lee and "Hulk" and what a colossal mistake that was. But the mythical gods were with us on this one, and Branagh brings just the right balance to what could have been just another beefcake-in-a-cape caper.

La Mer Creme De La Mer Reviews

Nothing Like It!At 59, I've tried enough moisturizers to know when I'm throwing away good money. That said, this product is well worth the price. I (still!) have an oily T-zone, but my eye & mouth areas are grateful for extra moisture. When my skin is tight (winter is only too good for that) the tiniest bit just soaks right in.
