Corals 'could survive a more acidic ocean'

ScienceDaily (Apr. 1, 2012) ? Corals may be better placed to cope with the gradual acidification of the world's oceans than previously thought -- giving rise to hopes that coral reefs might escape climatic devastation.

In new research published in the journal Nature Climate Change, an international scientific team has identified a powerful internal mechanism that could enable some corals and their symbiotic algae to counter the adverse impact of a more acidic ocean.

As humans release ever-larger amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, besides warming the planet, the gas is also turning the world's oceans more acidic -- at rates thought to far exceed those seen during past major extinctions of life. This has prompted strong scientific interest in finding out which species are most vulnerable, and which can handle the changed conditions.

In groundbreaking research, a team of scientists from Australia's ARC Centre of Excellence for Coral Reef Studies, at the University of Western Australia and France's Laboratoire des Sciences du Climat et de l'Environnement, has shown that some marine organisms that form calcium carbonate skeletons have an in-built mechanism to cope with ocean acidification -- which others appear to lack.

"The good news is that most corals appear to have this internal ability to buffer rising acidity of seawater and still form good, solid skeletons," says Professor Malcolm McCulloch of CoECRS and UWA. "Marine organisms that form calcium carbonate skeletons generally produce it in one of two forms, known as aragonite and calcite.

"Our research broadly suggests that those with skeletons made of aragonite have the coping mechanism -- while those that follow the calcite pathway generally do less well under more acidic conditions."

The aragonite calcifiers -- such as the well-known corals Porites and Acropora -- have molecular 'pumps' that enable them to regulate their internal acid balance, which buffers them from the external changes in seawater pH.

"But the picture for coral reefs as a whole isn't quite so straightforward, as the 'glue' that holds coral reefs together -- coralline algae -- appear to be vulnerable to rising acidity," Professor McCulloch explains.

Also of concern is that a large class of plankton, floating in the open oceans and forming a vital component of marine food webs, appears equally vulnerable to acidification. If so, this could be serious not only for marine life that feeds on them -- but also for humans, as it could impair the oceans' ability to soak up increased volumes of CO2 from the atmosphere. This would cause global warming to accelerate.

Ironically, an added plus is that warming oceans may increase the rates of coral growth, especially in corals now living in cooler waters, he says.

However, the big unknown remaining is whether corals can adapt to global warming, which is now occurring at an unprecedented rate -- at about two orders of magnitude faster than occurred with the ending of the last Ice Age.

"This is crucial since, if corals are bleached by the sudden arrival of hot ocean water and lose the symbiotic algae which are their main source of energy, they will still die," he cautions.

"It's a more complicated picture, but broadly it means that there are going to be winners and losers in the oceans as its chemistry is modified by human activities -- this could have the effect of altering major ocean ecosystems on which both we and a large part of marine life depend."

The researchers conclude "Although our results indicate that up-regulation of pH at the site of calcification provides corals with enhanced resilience to the effects of ocean acidification, the overall health of coral reef systems is still largely dependent on the compounding effects of increasing thermal stress from global warming and local environmental impacts, such as terrestrial runoff, pollution and overfishing."

Their paper "Coral resilience to ocean acidification and global warming through pH up-regulation" by Malcolm McCulloch, Jim Falter, Julie Trotter, and Paolo Montagna, appears in the latest issue of the journal Nature Climate Change.

The Distinguished Perks of a Home Improvement Loan | Tell My Mom

Whenever that home improvement loan application has finally been accepted and the money is simply a few days away, it?s high time to make sure that you have the right contractor to carry out the job for you. Actually, the home improvement loan method was no more than the initial significant step in this whole procedure. The location of a reliable and capable contractor is the next most renowned rung and it verifies the victory of the whole venture. Without a suitable building contractor eligible meeting all of your necessities and needs, it could certainly be pointed out that the advance was plainly a misuse of worthwhile time and greatly needed cash. Thus, if you want to gain the proper contractor for the job, particular points and matters ought to be collected. One method that is advised to follow up on is by inquiring family members and acquaintances for any organizations that are rather recommended in your location. If there is no one, it might be time to check your laptop. By exploring on the web, one can get in touch with hundreds of building contractors up till you ultimately decide upon the contractor that you are most at ease with.

A home improvement loan is asked for nowadays because of every human being?s ardor to have a delightful and comfortable home. Nothing compares to the experience of residing in a home that is full of life, that looks charming, that is so stress-free and a home that will always invite you to come in. And for some reason, this intention will also encourage us to offer adequate renovations or improvements into our houses. Not just by providing an attractive ambiance but with the goal to obtain a property that?s full of comfort. Thinking about that, we couldn?t really blame the people?s interest for the preference of a home improvement loan.

After investing in your primary house, it is only a matter of time until you decide to get a home improvement loan. Some conclusions such as the kitchen space not being as serviceable as you?d have preferred or the number of washrooms not satisfying is just some of the notions that most household owners embrace. Certainly, while in uttermost situations this may ring true, there are also homeowners who would much like to improve their home. Adding an expansion to the living-room, building an additional bedroom for friends or modernizing an existing room in to a child?s nursery area are simply a couple of the solutions that property owners may undergo once a home improvement loan is achieved. Truth is the selections for home restoration only stops when the creative thinking does.

Land appraisals are presently on recoil but any household owner can defend his / her home?s market price by using a home improvement loan. By simply adding practical sections to your home like a deck or an outside patio, the value of your home will certainly ascend despite the weight of the real estate industry dragging it downward. Additional feasible house renovations that will assuredly accumulate the monetary worth of your property is by adding another bathroom, by refurbishing the kitchen area, adding a hearth or inglenook, modifying the interior and exterior paint, providing new flooring, by converting the attic and even by including a swimming pool or lawn tennis court. Naturally, these improvements or additions ought to be appropriate to the community that you?re occupying and also to the total finances that you will get from your home improvement loan.

Property owners can pledge a sizable amount that can take care of any kind of property upgrade cost. Additionally, the credit score status is essential regardless of precisely where you?ll obtain your mortgage. Regardless of the matter that property owners with bad credit are howbeit offered possibilities to apply for a home improvement loan, such credits most typically have shocking, sky-high APR?s that would daunt commonsensical, practical individuals. Regardless, if a home owner is dead set on obtaining a loan regardless of how significant the APR is, there is fat chance of stopping him / her from doing so. After all, all of us have the right to apply for a home improvement loan if we should desire so.

small dead animals: The Liberal Legal Bubble

The Liberal Legal Bubble

What can explain liberals? widespread failure to anticipate the Court?s wariness of the mandate? Research conducted by University of Virginia psychologist Jonathan Haidt suggests one possible answer: Liberals just aren?t as good as conservatives and libertarians at understanding how their opponents think. Haidt helped conduct research that asked respondents to fill out questionnaires about political narratives?first responding based on their own beliefs, but then responding as if trying to mimic the beliefs of their political opponents. ?The results,? he writes in the May issue of Reason, ?were clear and consistent.? Moderates and conservatives were the most able to think like their liberal political opponents. ?Liberals,? he reports, ?were the least accurate, especially those who describe themselves as ?very liberal.??

Posted by Kate at April 1, 2012 6:15 AM

The reason they took it for granted is because they have a contempt for the constitution and believe that the government can do whatever it wants. In a system as obviously corrupt as the US legal system I too am surprised at the recent decent. I hope it lasts.

What can explain liberals? widespread failure to anticipate the Court?s wariness of the healthcare mandate?

-

Liberals only see and hear 4 of the SCOTUS judges..

-

http://0.tqn.com/d/politicalhumor/1/0/x/B/3/new-supreme-court-robes.jpg

We have to fire Oblamer,

if he appoints another Supreme Court judge we will be in deep shite..

Liberals...."their own believes"

What?! Liberals have beliefs?

Again, might I suggest caution. We have no valid idea of the nature of the forthcoming decision of the Supreme Court. The questions asked by the judges are not the decision of the judges.

There are four judges, all Liberal, with two appointed by Obama for just this situation, who are activists rather than Constitutionalists. We have one 'swing' vote.

Therefore, based on the arguments themselves, we cannot come to a conclusion, for the arguments do not rest in isolation. They rest within your basic foundational belief of whether you are an activist or a constitutionalist.

I was educated, including 4 years of grad school, by liberals. Therefore, yeah, I can recite liberal views in ways that liberals will recognize and accept. However, most liberals have never been bothered to learn conservative thought, and therefore only know what the DailyKOS tells them.

Being Liberal means never being right and never having to apologise for being wrong.

Someone once described a liberal "argument" thus: "I'm right and you're stupid".
My experience with liberals is that they are often not only viscerally incapable of imagining what a counter argument to their position might be, but are, indeed, incapable of imagining that there could even exist a differing point of view. It's part of the reason they often come a cropper with the immigrant communities they court superficially, since they are at a complete loss to imagine that members of those immigrant communities may have a wholly different, non-liberal, world view.

Liberals are not logical or rational. Every single thought and decision they make is based purely on emotion.

They're pretty simple to understand, frustrating, but simple.

Again, might I suggest caution. We have no valid idea of the nature of the forthcoming decision of the Supreme Court.

Yes, anything can be rationalized. Especially if the person doing so lacks real world experience. That this even needs to be considered longer than thirty seconds demonstrates those who deal only in words lack common sense.

DrD - that might be what they say, but IMHO they're thinking I'm right and you're evil because you know I'm right and you want to do something different anyways.

SDH at 10:28 AM

exactly, and studies even point to this, on money matters they will go emotional as soon as you say welfare

they are absolutely "emotional stupid"

The court is going to rule the mandate as unconstitutional along with the balance of Obamacare. If it had decided to uphold it on Friday, the news would have leaked. Liberals not only can't think like a conservative, they cannot keep a secret. They have alreay leaked this result if you think about it. That explains the talking points and the healthcare stock rise. Wall street insiders do not make bets, they take positions in sure things. They are also huge donators to the Obamacause.

What the testing showed, was what has been apparent for long time: liberals have reduced capacity to think, compared to conservatives and libertarians.
Especially those who describe themselves as very liberal. Just more evidence that liberalism is a mental disorder, or at the very least, indicative of diminished mental capacity.

The lefties fail to differentiate between the federal government buying its way into areas of state jurisdiction and bulling their way into state jurisdiction. Personally, I think both should be illegal.

The best comment there, "Liberals believe that freedom means freedom from responsibility." Right on the mark.

Explains well why they instantly respond with 'throwing their food' when pressed with facts and the truth.

NME666 I call it being emotionally liable.

As so often coined "Liberalism is a mental disorder". wWen you can wrap your head around the full implications and reality of that statement, everything else falls onto place perfectly.

My experience when arguing with left-wingers is that they; list emotional 'talking points' rather than rational arguments, refuse to acknowledge that a point of theirs has been refuted but simply move on to another talking point, and try to block counter arguments by interrupting and talking over top of the opposing side.

When I argue with left wingers at work it is not to convince them, but to show to the others that are listening how ridiculous the left wing 'arguments' are. Generally both of us walk away thinking we won, only one of us is right.

Interesting, totally superfluous research. We ALL knew that.

I've repeatedly told my liberal interlocutors that they have a completely unbalanced view; that they need to seek out conservative/libertarian views through the blogs.

I've also explained that WE don't need to similarly pursue liberal blogs, 'cos we already know the narrative inside and out, up and down; that we understand the intellectual history of progressivism; that we get it through the ether even if we boycott Pravda-west.

I agree with ET's precaution on Scotus/ObamaCare. I simply cannot dream of it being overturned, even if the Repubs gain both houses in 2012.

I?ve had the opportunity to debate with progressives on a number of occasions: not bragging, I won every time (and, so, was rarely invited back!). C/conservatives like me live in enemy territory: we learn to be informed, wary, and canny. We need to live by our wits. When writing or speaking, I always anticipate the opposition?s parry and have learned to counter-parry: it?s sort of like playing chess.

On the other hand, progressives, who?ve taken over most of our institutions, live in the warm, stupor-inducing soup of their own ideology: they rest on their undeserved (non-existent, actually) laurels. In general, on policy issues, progressives are arrogant, lazy, uninformed, and intellectually lazy. This makes them easy pickings, IF one has a chance to actually engage them in a debate.

Of course, once progressive institutions, including the consensus media, find out which of their political enemies are difficult to counter, they shut them out?lovers of tolerance and diversity that they are! So, WHAT a relief it is to have SUN News letting in the sunlight for a change. Suck it up, progressive losers!

MND, I altogether agree re the progressives.

ET, I share your concern re SCOTUS, but the arguments so far give some reason for hope--I hope!

Liberals always assume they are smarter than everyone else. Obama is a prime example, with gaff after gaff demonstrating his ignorance. Which the fawning press consistently ignores or outright covers up.

Cognitive dissonance and projection are the only standards they seem to have.

If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles.

If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat.

If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.

Narrow-minded Liberals want Conservatives to shut up, or be shut up, Conservatives want Liberals to keep talking, but that fails every time. Liberal talk radio seems to consist of sound bites and fart jokes, it gets boring quickly.

Acer Iconia Tab raises the bar with Android 4.0, Tegra 3 chip

Setting itself apart in an increasingly competitive Android tablet market, Acer brings a 12-hour battery and a Tegra 3 chip to its Iconia Tab A510, which runs Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. Verizon?s getting its next smartphone this week, confirming the March 29th release of the LG Lucid, while Samsung?s Galaxy Y Duos gets special treatment for its Portugal launch. Here are this week?s top Android devices.

Acer Iconia Tab A510

Acer?s hoping to differentiate itself in today?s intense tablet market, offering its Iconia Tab A510 Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich tablet with the right set of specs to get customers? attention. There?s an Nvidia quad-core Tegra 3 processor under the hood, and an extended battery that lasts up to 12 hours of video playback. Weighing in at 1.5 pounds and measuring 10.2 x 6.9 x 0.43 inches, the Iconia Tab A510 comes with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 2.1 support. There?s a fixed-focus front-facing camera for video chats, and a 5-megapixel rear-facing camera for photos. The 10.1-inch WXGA high-def display has a resolution of 1280x800 pixels and an 85-degree viewing angle. Added perks include Acer?s Super 4-Plus-1 design to save battery life during graphic-intensive tasks, along with an enterprise-ready suite of apps and tools for the business user. This second-generation Acer A510 is available in silver or black, currently up for pre-order in the U.S. and Canada for $450.

LG Lucid (Verizon)

Shortly after the leaked details, Verizon confirmed the March 29 launch date for the LG Lucid. It arrives with a modest price for modest features, coming in at $79.99 with a two-year contract. Running Android 2.3 Gingerbread, the LG Lucid is powered by a 1.2GHz dual-core processor with 1GB of RAM. Its screen is large for smartphone standards at 4 inches, coated with Gorilla Glass for durability. The 5-megapixel rear-facing camera isn?t the best in the market, but it will shoot video at full 1080p HD. Where the LG Lucid wins buyers is its 4G LTE capability, faster than 3G wireless access. That means a data plan on top of voice service, and under Verizon?s watch (unless you?re grandfathered in), you?re limited to 2GB in data usage per month.

Samsung Galaxy Y Duos

The Samsung Galaxy Y Duos is known for its dual-SIM capabilities, but with a new promo for its Portugal launch, it will be known for human face video-mapping. The projection mapping technique is one used by marketers on the sides of buildings, but this time it was a man?s face that posed as the canvas, as the story of the Galaxy Y Duos was brought to life. At 3.14 inches the Galaxy Y Duos screen has a resolution of 320x240, supporting 3G, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. Shipping with Android 2.3, the rear-facing camera is a meager 3-megapixels, with internal storage at 512MB. Perhaps Samsung is hoping you?ll ignore the specs once you see the projection-mapping clip.
