coverage for policies that aren't government funded, such as those offered by employers in the private sector.)

Richards claims the House bill will alter the status quo by restricting "women's access to abortion coverage in the private health insurance market, undermining the ability of women to purchase private health plans that cover abortion, even if they pay for most of the premiums with their own money. This amendment reaches much further than the Hyde Amendment." Whether the status quo would truly be altered, however, is up for debate, since there's nothing in the health reform bill that stops private insurance plans from offering abortion coverage outside of the exchange. That means those of us getting coverage from our employers probably won't see a change in our plans' coverage ofQ:

How to use 'die' as a passive verb

While watching a video of Stephen Jenkinson I was challenged by the declaration that grammatically 'die' cannot be used as a passive verb.
Is it possible to use die as a passive verb?  Nothing I tried seems to make sense.
For example:

He was died. (incorrect grammar)

According to: grammar.ccc.commnet.edu

Verbs are also said to be either active (The executive committee approved the new policy) or passive (The new policy was approved by the executive committee) in voice.
In the active voice, the subject and verb relationship is
  straightforward: the subject is a be-er or a do-er and the verb moves
  the sentence along.
In the passive voice, the subject of the sentence is neither a do-er
  or a be-er, but is acted


Q:

Show the monotonicity of the following expectation.

Now, there is an expectation as $$E\left[(1-a\cdot b^{X})^{m}\right]$$ where $m\in \mathbb{N}$ ,$a\in (0,1]$ and $b \in(0,1]$ are constants. $X\sim B(n-1,p)$ is a binomial random variable. I am not sure whether this expectation increases as $n$ and $p$ increases. If so, how can I prove it? Thanks.

A:

If $n$ and/or $p$ increases, $X$ increases stochastically. This means that if $n_1\leqslant n_2$ and $p_1\leqslant p_2$, there exists $X_1$ with $B(n_1-1,p_1)$ distribution and $X_2$ with $B(n_2-1,p_2)$ distribution such that $X_1\leqslant X_2$ almost surely. Furthermore, as soon as $(n_1,p_1)\ne(n_2,p_2)$, $X_1\lt X_2$ with positive probability. Since the function $x\mapsto(1-ab^x)^m$ is increasing, this fact yields the result.

promised to deliver a letter of credit in the amount of $8,058,750 to Chase by January 6, 1999.[3]Id. ¶ 14; LOC and Deposit Agreement, Ex. B to Reid Aff., § 1. Traffic Stream further promised to replace the letter of credit with cash currency on or before May 6, 1999, by depositing $8,058,750 into the Construction Funding Account. Pl. 56.1 ¶ 15.
Section 501 of the Indenture explicitly states that any failure by defendant to make timely interest payments or to procure the required letter of credit constitutes an "Event of Default". Section 501 provides, in relevant part, as follows:
"Event of Default", wherever used herein, means any one of the following events (whatever the reason for such Event of Default and whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary or


D. Procedural History
In response to defendant's defaults, Chase commenced the instant action on June 4, 1999.[7] The complaint sets forth five claims: (i) breach of contract; (ii) replevin of collateral; (iii) specific enforcement of defendant's reporting obligations; (iv) an accounting; and (v) recovery of costs for collection. Complaint ¶¶ 32-52. With respect to claims one and two, Chase seeks turnover of the Collateral Accounts as well as damages in the form of a deficiency judgment equal to the difference in value between the Collateral Accounts and the total amount of defendant's indebtedness.[8]Id. ¶ 52.
Traffic Stream concedes that it is in default under the Indenture as a result of its failure to post the required letter of credit and its failure to make the required payments. Def. 56.1 ¶¶47; Wong Decl. ¶ 3. If the income generated by a Joint Venture (the "Operating Income") is less than the fixed annual rate of return, the Chinese partner is obligated to pay the difference to the foreign partner from its own funds (the "Guaranteed Income"). Def. 56.1 ¶ 48; Wong Decl. ¶ 3. According to defendant, the fixed annual rate of return is sufficient to cover all interest payments due under the Indenture. Wong Decl. ¶ 5.

2. Remittance of Income
Distribution of funds from the Joint Ventures to their foreign partners is regulated by Chinese law. Def. 56.1 ¶ 47; Jingtian Associates Opinion Re: Guarantee of Foreign Party's Investment Return ("Jingtian Op."), Ex. A to 11/2/99 Declaration of Zhao Yang ("Zhao Decl."), at 1.[10]
Under Chinese law, remittance of guaranteed


article is hearsay does not necessarily mean it is inadmissible. There are numerous exceptions to the general rule barring hearsay evidence at trial.
Federal Rule of Evidence 807 sets forth a residual hearsay exception that is applicable to the instant case. Rule 807 provides:
A statement not specifically covered by Rule 803 or 804 but having equivalent circumstantial guarantees of trustworthiness, is not excluded by the hearsay rule, if the court determines that (A) the statement is offered as evidence of a material fact; (B) the statement is more probative on the point for which it is offered than any other evidence which the proponent can procure through reasonable efforts; and (C) the general purposes of these rules and the interests of justice will best be served by admission ofof trustworthiness. The People's Daily is published by the Chinese Communist Party's Central Commission, and it "is deemed to be authoritative and representing the official opinion of the Chinese Government." Haoling Decl. ¶ 2. In other words, there is little risk that a government controlled newspaper such as the People's Daily would inaccurately reflect the official position of its government. Accordingly, the People's Daily article may properly be considered on summary judgment, and defendant's impossibility defense is not precluded simply because the SAFE Notice is unavailable.[17]
*255 Plaintiff further argues, with reasonable basis, that the Jingtian Opinion is "opaque". Both the newspaper article and the legal opinion are less than models of clarity. That said, the terms and effects of the SAFE Notice are set forth with sufficient clarity


the regulatory change, which indisputably has delayed the ability to collect guaranteed payments out of China, has made it impossible for Traffic Stream to make the required payments within the time frames set forth in the Indenture.
Def. Opp. at 11. Stripping away the conclusory language, Traffic Stream merely alleges that the SAFE Notice has "delayed" its ability to collect payments from the Joint Ventures, leaving Traffic Stream without enough money to meet its financial obligations. However, lack of funds, "even to the extent of insolvency or bankruptcy", can never excuse contractual performance. Venezolanos, 740 F.Supp. at 267 (internal quotations omitted).[22]
*260 Defendant concedes, as it must, that the SAFE Notice merely "delays" rather than prohibits the remittance of funds from the Joint Ventures to Traffic Stream. According to defendant'swere when defendant entered into the agreement on May 6, 1998.
[24]  Plaintiff's motion is granted in its entirety with the exception that plaintiff's request for an accounting is denied as moot. See supra Part V.B.

Barr is a 6-foot-4, 225-pound challenge for the Indians defense. He must be contained in order for Hart to win its final game before league play begins Oct. 17 at College of the Canyons against Saugus.

"They have a big back," Herrington said. "It's going to be tough."

Hart's offense has had no problems gaining yards, with more than 500 yards. It has had a few issues scoring touchdowns, scoring just two in a 14-7 win at home on Friday against Claremont.

"We need to get our red-zone offense better," Herrington said. "Our tackling was very poor two weeks ago. It was better last week, but we have a ways to go."

Don’t Worry. Be Happy! Find Your Gratitude.

Being happy starts with understanding what gives you that overwhelming feeling of happiness. It works the same with any emotion. You can be content to feel something and let it consume you, or you can understand that feeling and start to figure out how it happened.

Gratitude is fascinating. Just sit back for five seconds and think of something that makes you happy. In less time than it takes to watch the ad before a YouTube video, you were able to comprehend gratitude.

According to Merriam-Webster, gratitude is the act of being grateful. Being grateful is having appreciation for benefits received. In this case, that benefit is happiness.

ORI issued a charge letter enumerating the above findings of misconduct in science and proposing HHS administrative actions. Dr. Linn subsequently requested a hearing before an Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) of the Departmental Appeals Board to dispute these findings. However, on November 30, 2009, Dr. Linn withdrew his request for a hearing. On December 18, 2009, the ALJ of the Departmental Appeals Board accepted Dr. Linn\'s withdrawal and dismissed his request for a hearing. Thus, the scientific misconduct findings set forth above became effective, and the following administrative actions have been implemented for a period of three (3) years, beginning on January 7, 2010:

Charles Joshua Oliver (1 November 1905 – 25 September 1977) was a New Zealand rugby union international who also represented his country in first-class cricket.

Cricket career
Wanganui-born Oliver played as a specialist right-handed batsman and from 35 first-class matches scored 1301 runs at 23.23, with a best of 91. He represented Canterbury in domestic cricket, having debuted for them in the 1923/24 Plunket Shield. In the 1925/26 season he was a member of the New Zealand side which toured Australia and he made half-centuries against Victoria and South Australia. He also toured the British Isles in 1927 with the national side. He claimed the only wicket of his first-class career during this tour, that of Sussex bowler Reginald Hollingdale.

amphibians, insects and fruit. In populated areas, they will go through your garbage cans and prey on your small pets. Farmers even have lost sheep, calves and poultry to this wily mammal.

Feeding stations for birds and squirrels can be a magnet for the coyote and is discouraged in rural areas. Coyotes are among the most successful mammals in the world.

Coyotes are not the loners people tend to think they are. The Eastern coyote is a very social animal. They will select a mate for life, and both parents will care for their young, and even older offspring will help raise the pups. With four to eight pups born at any given time, and remaining with their parents for up to a year, coyotes can form quite a pack.They will hunt in family groups, which is one reason they prove so dangerous to domestic animals. Our house pets are no match for these versatile creatures.

Coyotes are very vocal. They yip, howl and bark depending on what message they are trying to get across. Sometimes the coyote will resemble a German shepherd -- until you notice the yellow eyes, low-hanging tail and black lines on the legs. Eastern coyotes weigh between 35 pounds and 55 pounds. The average life span of a coyote who is able to avoid the guns or poisons of human is about four years.

Infant mortality for coyote pups is high. Distemper takes its toll, as do human predators. Roundworms that go untreated become infestations and also kill pups. The young can even be

Evolution of renal function and Na+, K +-ATPase expression during ischaemia-reperfusion injury in rat kidney.
The aim of the present work was to study the effects of an unilateral ischaemic-reperfusion injury on Na+, K+-ATPase activity, alpha1 and beta1 subunits protein and mRNA abundance and ATP content in cortical and medullary tissues from postischaemic and contralateral kidneys. Right renal artery was clamped for 40 min followed by 24 and 48 h of reperfusion. Postischaemic and contralateral renal function was studied cannulating the ureter of each kidney. Postischaemic kidneys after 24 (IR24) and 48 (IR48) hours of reperfusion presented a significant dysfunction. Na+, K+-ATPase alpha1 subunit abundance increased in IR24 and IR48 cortical tissue and beta1 subunit decreased in IR48. In IR24 medullary tissue, alpha1 abundance increased and returned to controlchecks accepted in payment of water bills at the utility office and deposited the checks in a bank in another town (Kokomo), where he told the bank official there that he was an auditor, and the word "Auditor" was placed after his endorsement on the check. This personal bank account amounted within a year's time to over $21,000.00.
When a defendant takes checks as an employee through a payment window or out of a water department and endorses them and deposits these checks in his personal account, we have direct evidence, rather than mere circumstantial evidence of embezzlement. The court did not have to accept appellant's story of how he came into possession of the checks used to pay water bills.
In corroboration of the State's case, there is circumstantial


another person might also have been guilty of embezzlement does not eliminate the fact that the appellant is also guilty.
Objections were made that testimony was admitted showing the appellant was involved in other check and cash transactions in connection with the Light and Water Office in which he was employed. A review of this evidence reveals a system of similar transactions. It was admissible to show the intent, course of conduct, and any scheme involved in the embezzlement charged. Such transactions, when the crime of embezzlement is charged, are admissible to show such a course of conduct. Loveless v. State (1960), 240 Ind. 534, 166 N.E.2d 864; Whitney v. State (1934), 206 Ind. 562, 188 N.E. 779.
Another specification in the motion for a new trial alleges that itwas error to admit testimony of one of the witnesses with reference to procedure in the Light and Water Office shortly after the appellant left his employment there. The testimony was nothing more than corroborative of the testimony of those working in the office at the time the appellant was employed there. We do not find that the testimony admitted was in any way prejudicial.
A further specification is to the effect that the *67 court erroneously, over objections, admitted the testimony given by the appellant before the grand jury, as well as certain statements made by the appellant to the prosecuting attorney. The appellant testified voluntarily before the grand jury and signed a written waiver.

A former mayor of Waverley allegedly paid $12,000 to his nephew to organise the "serious torture" and murder of a male prostitute, a court has heard.

James Robert Markham, 73, is charged with soliciting the murder of male escort Paul Dunshea or an unknown person. He is also charged with recruiting a person for the purpose of criminal activity.

Mr Markham, who suffers from Parkinson's disease, was formally excused from appearing at his committal hearing at the Downing Centre Local Court today.

He is accused of ordering the hit which was recorded by Channel Nine's A Current Affair program, with reporter Ben Fordham posing as the hitman.

The court was played the recording during which Mr Markham tells Fordham he wants the escort to be strung up at an abattoir before beingthe promotions in which the individual was the owner rather than being employed in a subordinate role such as booker or road agent.

I think that if somebody is going to commit fraudmake sense to estimate the mean survival time instead. The mean is estimated by the area under the $S_{i}\left( t \right)$ curve, which can be written as $$M_{2i} = \sum\limits_{t = 1}^{T_{i}}tS_{i}\left( t \middle| \theta \right).$$

### 2.2.2. Comparative trials {#sec2.2.2}

We now extend the method to the problem of comparing the survival distribution of two treatments in a randomised trial. Both [@b19] and [@b13] have addressed how to test for response rate at a fixed time. They add an arm indicator to models and apply the Wald test to test differences between mean response rates. We apply a similar strategy to test for $S\left( t \right)$ of two arms at a fixed time. As for detecting differences between survival curves of two or more arms, we compare hazard rates. Let $R_{i}$


patients. The baseline tumour size of patients are generated from a $U\left( 0,1 \right)$ distribution. Their log tumour size ratios ($\mathbf{Y}$) are generated from a multivariate normal distribution with mean $\mu$ and covariance matrix $\Sigma$ given below. The number of follow-up times is set to five for scenario 1 and seven for scenario 2. We define an event as tumour progression, and time to progression as the first time when a follow-up tumour size is greater than the minimum of all the previous records by more than 20%. For calculating the coverage, the actual survival rates in each scenario are estimated by using Kaplan--Meier estimators with $10^{5}$ participants.

$\bullet$ Scenario 1, five follow-up times, $\mathbf{Y} \sim \text{MVN}\left( \mu,\Sigma \right)$ where $$\mu = \begin{pmatrix}
0 \\
{0.036} \\
{0.072} \\
{0.108} \\
{0.144} \\
\end{pmatrix}\!\!,\text{and~}\Sigma =times (see [Table 2](#tbl2){ref-type="table"}).

[Table 3](#tbl3){ref-type="table"} shows the results from comparative trial simulations using the log-rank test, Peto & Peto, and the Aug-delta method. The empirical Type I error of the three methods is 0.046, 0.044, and 0.056, respectively. The last three columns show the power to detect differences between control and experimental arms in scenarios 1--6. The scenarios represent: proportional hazards in new-lesion progression (scenarios 1,2,3); difference in tumour progression in early time but the reverse at late time (scenario 4); difference in early time (scenario 5); difference at all 5 follow-up time points (scenario 6). The power of all three methods increase as $\beta$ (hazard ratio) increases. Aug-delta provides a big gain in power in some scenarios such as crossing survival functions and difference in early time. In other


entered pre-ESRD or a day before. If no observations are available for both days, the first eGFR record after pre-ESRD enrolment is used. The outcome is time to progression, defined as the time from the date of pre-ESRD enrolment to the date of progression. There are no cases of death during the first year in this dataset. Patients were followed up either every three months or every month depending on their CKD severity. On average, the interval was three months. Therefore, we defined M1, M2, M3, M4 as representing the intervals 1--3 months, 4--6 months, 7--9 months and 10--12 months. For multiple records within each time interval, the average eGFR is used. Patients without any eGFR records from M1 to M4 were excluded.

Figure A.2 in supplementary material demonstrates$\text{KM}^{+}$. [Table 5](#tbl5){ref-type="table"} shows the estimated survival of 4534 patients using the KM, $\text{KM}^{+}$ and the Aug-delta and the reduction in 95% confidence interval (CI) from KM to Aug-delta, $\frac{\text{CI~width~of~Aug-delta~-~CI~width~of~KM}}{\text{CI~width~of~KM}}$. Results show that the estimated PFS using $\text{KM}^{+}$ is smaller than the KM method but closer to Aug-Delta and the Aug-delta gives a considerably smaller 95% CI than the KM method.

Table 5Survival function and 95% confidence interval of Pre-ESRD- CKD progression using KM method and Aug-delta. As there are cases that patients have records at time $\text{M}_{t}$ but missing records at $\text{M}_{t - 1}$, we treat it as interval censored where interval is $\left( \text{M}_{t - 1},\text{M}_{t} \right)$. This means if a patient has a progression at M3 but missing record at M2. They would be treated as having


trials. Unlike earlier work proposing a similar approach for analysing response outcomes ([@b19], [@b13]), we did not find that the proposed method was always more powerful. Instead, the power gain seems highly variable. In some scenarios the power gain was huge, such as when there were crossed survival functions or large differences in the hazard functions earlier on. In other cases the proposed method actually lost (generally a modest amount of) power compared to standard analysis approaches. This indicates the proposed method may be suitable as a secondary analysis rather than replacing standard time-to-event methods as a primary analysis.

There are some issues to be considered before using the augmented method. First of all, time to actual progression. In the renal disease study, patients were followed for 10 years during whichthey received medication when progression was "observed". Once progression occurred, they would be followed up more frequently for a certain period. Time to the first progression or time from the first progression to the second progression is often the focus of the research. A missing record might result in biased estimation, that is, if a patient does not have a record at time $t_{m}$ but has a record at $t_{m + 1}$, the KM method treats the patient as if there is no progression at $t_{m}$. In other words, the KM method imputes missing observations as no progression. This may result in the survival rate at $t_{m}$ being overestimated. In contrast, the augmented binary method uses predicted probability as if the patient was followed up at $t_{m}$ to


deal with missing/censoring cases. This probability can be interpreted as a weighted probability of the occurrence of progressions. Dichotomised variables take a value of either 0 or 1, whereas the augmented binary method takes the weighted probability of patients with similar records having no progression. For a study where the time to actual progression is of interest, we would argue that the augmented binary method is estimating a more correct quantity than the KM method.

The second concern is the computational time. Multi-dimensional integration in the augmented binary method adds to the computational burden. The bootstrap method, Aug-boot, has advantages when survival probabilities are close to the boundary but requires substantial additional computation. For example, in the simulation study with five follow-up times and sample size 50, when wea result, the floating gate threshold may be increased by three to five volts. This change in the threshold voltage, or channel conductance, of the cell created by the trapped hot electrons is what causes the cell to be programmed.

• In the analysis of different gene segments, the most consistent regions for nucleosome positions are the TSSs, according to positioning data. Intriguingly, according to the occupancy ratio data, the most consistent region for nucleosome positions is the 5\' end of Codingdecomposition (BDID) model to process the six position datasets and obtained the seven new reference maps according to the binomial coefficient (see Methods). Surprisingly, the seven profiles, which represent the probability of nucleosome occupancy, can also be divided into two groups by comparing their phases with each other (Figure [5](#F5){ref-type="fig"}). The profiles (Figure [5C](#F5){ref-type="fig"}), , , and (Figure [5B, C](#F5){ref-type="fig"}) approximately belong to the dynamic domain, in which nucleosomes are either unmeasurable (NFRs) or destabilised. Alternatively, and (Figure [5A](#F5){ref-type="fig"}) may represent the stable domains, mainly formed by well-positioned nucleosomes. The stable domains and the dynamic domains are mapped in Figure [5D](#F5){ref-type="fig"}. Since the same tendencies were observed in the results from both the Logic Operation (Figure [4A, C](#F4){ref-type="fig"}) and the BDID model (Figure [5D](#F5){ref-type="fig"}), we concluded that the


distributions we observed were unlikely to be artefacts of our experiment.

Two signal processing methods, namely the cross correlation and principle component analysis (PCA), were used to separately extract common and independent information from two occupancy datasets \[[@B3],[@B4]\]. Interestingly, both signals also exhibit uniform phases and are distributed symmetrically around the TSS (Additional file [1](#S1){ref-type="supplementary-material"}: Supplemental Figure S2).

By pooling the nucleosomeC](#F4){ref-type="fig"}). Therefore, our results indicate that two distinct nucleosome maps can represent the characteristics of nucleosome distributions in vivo in a more refined manner than the stereotypical nucleosome maps derived from single experimental datasets. Indeed, the pervasive periodicity surrounding the TSS that we identified from the different data types further confirms that cross-platform information can faithfully reflect the robust mechanisms of nucleosome packaging in vivo.

The measurable capacity of nucleosome positions in experiments
--------------------------------------------------------------

As previously described, nucleosomes can be divided into a stable group and a dynamic group. Obviously, the position of stable nuclesomes can be easily determined using various experimental methods. By contrast, the positions of dynamic nuclesomes are difficult to determine exactly through a single experiment. We separately used measurability and positioning signal-to-noise ratios (SNR) to assess the


histone promoter \[[@B15]\], sensitivity to regulators \[[@B14]\], expression noise \[[@B34]\], nucleosome measurability, and nucleosome SNR. In so doing, we observed a significant difference between the two distinct groups of genes (Figure [10C](#F10){ref-type="fig"}). Our results suggested that the distribution of the two classes of nucleosomes reflects complementary properties which not only affect chromatin structure, but also maintain the differences between TATA-containing and TATA-free promoters.

Positioned-nucleosomes sliding in response to environmental transitions
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Previous studies on the human \[[@B35]\], drosophila \[[@B36]\] and the yeast nucleosomes \[[@B20],[@B21]\]suggested that the histone population changes in vivo depending on what that piece of chromatin is involved with at different developmental, physiological and disease stages. On the other hand, nucleosome positioning required for maintenance of the optimal internal milieu in one environment may be far from optimal innucleosomes at similar positions across different sample populations. In the previously published data, however, the derived nucleosome positions are inconsistent because biology is dynamic, making it difficult to determine the regulatory role of nucleosomes only based on an individual experimental data \[[@B1]-[@B8]\]. To address these problems, we developed several effective computational methods to mine nucleosome position characteristics across several published studies.

Our motivation for comparing six available experimental datasets was twofold. First, none of these independent studies was entirely consistent with any other according to the correlation coefficients between nucleosome position datasets (Figure [1](#F1){ref-type="fig"} and [2](#F2){ref-type="fig"}), and we thus sought to use high-resolution maps to construct a set of new, high-confidence, reference maps. Our second motivation was to use these new reference maps to analyse the association between chromatin


possible explanation for the observed phenomenon is that RNA Pol II can only traverse the nucleosome under conditions in which at least one H2A/H2B dimer is lost \[[@B40]\], resulting in the nucleosomes being destabilised rather than evicted from these active genes. Consistent with this observation, a recent study also reported that a certain class of genes, the Occupied Proximal Nucleosome (OPN), displays a more evenly distributed and dynamic positioning of nucleosomes, with high occupancy close to the TSS \[[@B31]\]. Interestingly, the expression of these genes is also characterised by high transcriptional plasticity and sensitivity to chromatin regulation.

Recent studies have shown that the +1 nucleosome significantly impacts gene regulation \[[@B5],[@B11],[@B31]\] and the TSS tends to be \~13 bp inside the upstream border of the +1 nucleosome \[[@B1],[@B2],[@B5]-[@B7],[@B29],[@B41]\]. Using afrom *n*experiments at the *i*~*th*~site. For example, the number of ways to observe 2 nucleosome appearances at the *i*~*th*~site in the six studies is \"6 choose 2,\" or = 15. Here, *P*{*X*(*i*) = *k*} is denoted as the probability of nucleosome appearance at the *i*~*th*~site along the chromatin. *p*(*i*) is the frequency of nucleosome appearance at the *i*~*th*~site, according to the six positioning datasets.

We denoted the binomial coefficients , , , , , and as corresponding to the names of the probability profiles, which were calculated using the BDID model according to the k value (Figure [5](#F5){ref-type="fig"}). By comparing the phases of these curves with each other (Figure [5](#F5){ref-type="fig"}), we divided the seven curves into two categories. Specifically, the curves correlate with NFRs, which exhibit areas of nucleosomal

idea that the statute “violates due process requirements or is otherwise

unconstitutional.” In other words, the trial court

      found, in relevant part, that the constitutional challenges raised by
      [Zarate-Martinez] were without merit. . . . We thus conclude that the
      superior court's ruling is effectively a distinct ruling on the
      constitutional issues and is a sufficient ruling to permit [Zarate-
      Martinez] to raise [her] constitutional challenges on appeal.

      2. With respect to the constitutional challenges to OCGA § 24-7-702 that

were raised and ruled uponproceed to trial on an

appropriately pled claim with an appropriate affidavit from a competent expert.

      (c) Equal Protection: Zarate-Martinez contends that OCGA §§ 24-7-702

(c) (2) (A) and (B) violate the guarantees of equal protection of the laws found

in Ga. Const. of 1983 Art. I, § I, Par. II and the Fourteenth Amendment of the

U.S. Constitution. Specifically, she claims that the statute violates equal

protection because it subjects medical malpractice plaintiffs like herself to

different rules for the viability of expert testimony than similarly situated

plaintiffs in other types of professional malpractice actions.3

      3
       To the extent that Zarate-Martinez also claims that the statute violates
equal protection because it creates requirements for the admission of expert
testimony in


bill of attainder, ex post facto law, retroactive law, or laws

impairing the obligation of contract or making irrevocable grant of special

privileges or immunities shall be passed.” Zarate-Martinez asserts that OCGA

§§ 24-7-702 (c) (2) (A) and (B) grant irrevocable special privileges and

immunities to physicians in order to reduce their potential liability if they

become subject to a medical malpractice action. However, OCGA §§ 24-7-702

(c) (2) (A) and (B) do no such thing, as this case “involves only [a] statute[]

                                        16
passed by the General Assembly which [is] clearly revocable at the willlaws to those subject to the

burden and a grant of an immunity to those not subject to it”).

      (e) Separation of Powers: Zarate-Martinez is also incorrect in her

assertion that OCGA § 24-7-702 (c) violates separation of powers because it

imposes evidentiary parameters within which a judge must determine whether

a proposed expert’s testimony is admissible in a medical malpractice case. In

direct contradiction to Zarate-Martinez’s argument, the Georgia Constitution

                                        17

The subjects' final diagnoses were: 40% respiratory reflux only, 14% neurogenic only, and 46% both. (There were no other diagnoses in the study group.) Out of the 26 patients with "asthma," only 20% (5) actually had it. On transnasal esophagoscopy, 64% (32) had esophageal pathology.

Treatment for reflux-related and neurogenic cough consisted of dietary and lifestyle modifications, H2-antagonists, alginates, and when indicated, amitriptyline and/or gabapenten (that had to be titrated for each individual patient. The mean pre-treatment score--- on a 0--5 cough severity scale---was 4.3; and post-treatment score was 1.1 (*p* \< 0.0001). The post-treatment results summarized: no or minimal cough 78% (39); moderate cough 18% (9); and severe coughthis seems less recognizable to many health professionals. During childhood, the respiratory tract and nervous system undergo a series of anatomical and physiological maturation processes that influence the cough reflex. In addition, immunological response undergoes developmental and memorial processes that make infection and congenital abnormalities the overwhelming causes of cough in children. The unavailability of comprehensive clinical data regarding chronic cough in children, has initially confined pediatrician to adopt an adult's approach to the problem. Recent research had urged to a rethinking about the etiology of chronic cough in children. Attention is now focused on protacted bacterial bronchitis (PBB) and malacia as major causes of chronic cough in preschool age and as a possible precursor of bronchiectasis. New horizons of research are now emerging not only in treatment


McMansion Hell Cross Stitch Patterns

Howdy folks! Someone alerted me that the file link for the McMansion Hell Cross Stitch patterns was no longer working, so I wanted to upload them in full here in time for the holiday season. They’re free for everyone to use, so please don’t go selling them on Etsy that would be very not cool!!!!

Ferritin is a universal intracellular protein that stores iron and releases it in a controlled fashion. The protein is produced by almost all living organisms, including archaea, bacteria, algae, higher plants, and animals. In humans, it acts as a buffer against iron deficiency and iron overload. Ferritin is found in most tissues as a cytosolic protein, but small amounts are secreted into the serum where it functions as an iron carrier. Plasma ferritin is also an indirect marker of the total amount of iron stored in the body; hence, serum ferritin is used as a diagnostic test for iron-deficiency anemia.

Ferritin is a globular protein complex consisting of 24 protein subunits forming a nanocage with multiple metal–protein interactions. It is the primary intracellular iron-storage protein in both prokaryotes and


measured in medical laboratories as part of the iron studies workup for iron-deficiency anemia. The ferritin levels measured usually have a direct correlation with the total amount of iron stored in the body. However, ferritin levels may be artificially high in cases of anemia of chronic disease where ferritin is elevated in its capacity as an inflammatory acute phase protein and not as a marker for iron overload.

Normal ranges

A normal ferritin blood level, referred to as the reference interval is determined by many testing laboratories. The ranges for ferritin can vary between laboratories but typical ranges would be between 30–300 ng/mL (=μg/L) for males, and 18–160 ng/mL (=μg/L) for females.

Deficiency

If the ferritin level is low, there is a risk for lack of iron, which could lead to anemia.

Uveitis is among the most important causes of blindness and severe visual impairment worldwide. Approximately 15% to 30% of uveitis occurs in the choroid and adjacent retina and is therefore classified as posterior uveitis or uveoretinitis \[[@B1-ijms-21-03261]\]. Posterior uveitis tends to damage photoreceptor cells and leads to permanent blindness. According to epidemiological data from the United States of America, uveitis occurs in approximately 0.54% of the population, in which approximately 30% of cases of uveitis are idiopathic \[[@B2-ijms-21-03261]\]. An autoimmune causality is supported by strong human leukocyte antigen (HLA) associations and by frequent responses to one or more unique retinal antigens. In addition, uveitis is often associated with autoimmune or inflammatory disorders, such as Behcet's disease, ankylosing spondylitis, sarcoidosis, psoriatic arthritis, Crohn's disease, and ulcerative colitis

dangerous threat scenarios of hybrid war.

This program’s costs will likely run under $10 billion annually with most of the costs used to hire and train additional civilian aid personnel, plus the additional costs of running an interagency exercise. Resourcing this program can be a joint effort with funds coming from the DoD and other federal departments. The likely consequences of this program will include pushback from personnel in the law enforcement, foreign aid and diplomacy communities who will be reluctant to collaborate increasingly with the military. Many civilian agencies will likely resent the proposal to imbed with military units.

of NMHC2 phosphorylation are still being defined. aPKCζ and casein kinase 2 (CK2), among other kinases, phosphorylate the tail domain \[[@B80-cells-09-01590],[@B81-cells-09-01590],[@B82-cells-09-01590]\], which promotes the disassembly of NM2 bipolar filaments. Mutations mimicking PKC-induced phosphorylations lead to NM2 filament depolymerization and increased migratory velocity in cancer cells \[[@B83-cells-09-01590]\]. Apart from phosphorylation events, other factors control the NM2 activity and function ([Figure 5](#cells-09-01590-f005){ref-type="fig"}). This includes the interaction with binding partners and the assembly of NM2 heterotypic filaments. S100A4, a member of the S100 calcium-binding proteins, interacts with the tail, favoring the depolymerization of NM2A filaments \[[@B84-cells-09-01590],[@B85-cells-09-01590]\]. Lgl bound to the coiled-coil region of NMHC2A also controls NM2A filament formation and localization \[[@B79-cells-09-01590]\]. S100-P, another member of the S100, interacts with NMHC2A and regulates NM2A filament dynamics and cell migration \[[@B86-cells-09-01590]\], throughinfections and intoxication with bacterial pore-forming toxins \[[@B146-cells-09-01590]\]. Blebs are dynamic protrusions regulated by different cytoskeletal molecules \[[@B147-cells-09-01590],[@B148-cells-09-01590]\]. They result from the contraction of the cortical actomyosin cytoskeleton, which creates intracellular pressure \[[@B147-cells-09-01590],[@B148-cells-09-01590],[@B149-cells-09-01590],[@B150-cells-09-01590]\] that weakens the interaction between the plasma membrane and the underlying cytoskeleton, thus allowing the membrane to protrude \[[@B149-cells-09-01590],[@B151-cells-09-01590],[@B152-cells-09-01590],[@B153-cells-09-01590],[@B154-cells-09-01590]\]. The continuous hydrostatic pressure inside cells further promotes bleb expansion \[[@B155-cells-09-01590]\], which will eventually retract slowly ([Figure 6](#cells-09-01590-f006){ref-type="fig"}B). Bleb expansion and retraction mostly depend on the actomyosin cytoskeleton \[[@B151-cells-09-01590]\]. Expanded blebs lack polymerized actin or other cytoskeletal elements \[[@B156-cells-09-01590]\]. Before retraction, plasma membrane-actin connector proteins at the bleb (e.g., ezrin) recruit actin and actin nucleators that initiate actin polymerization \[[@B151-cells-09-01590]\]. NM2A is further recruited, accumulates on actin filaments and powers the retraction of the bleb \[[@B139-cells-09-01590],[@B145-cells-09-01590],[@B157-cells-09-01590],[@B158-cells-09-01590]\]


are hallmarks of tumor growth and invasion \[[@B201-cells-09-01590],[@B202-cells-09-01590]\]. NM2 is directly or indirectly regulated by many oncogenes, miRNAs, cytokines and tumor microenvironment-associated adhesion forces. Often, tumor migratory and invasive behaviors are NM2-dependent and occur through ROCK and MLCK activation. In vitro, the inhibition of NM2 activity by blebbistatin prevents the migration and invasion of breast cancer and glioma cells \[[@B203-cells-09-01590],[@B204-cells-09-01590]\]. NM2 has thus emerged as a potential target for the treatment of tumors with high invasive capacity. Despite that the upregulation of NM2A was associated with tumorigenesis and cancer invasion \[[@B205-cells-09-01590],[@B206-cells-09-01590],[@B207-cells-09-01590],[@B208-cells-09-01590]\], NM2A is also considered a tumor suppressor. In fact, NM2A protects skin cells from uncontrolled rounds of cell division and NM2A-associated mutations promote skin cancer development \[[@B209-cells-09-01590]\]. In addition, low levels of NM2A mRNA were linked withMicrobial enhanced separation of oil from a petroleum refinery sludge.
Petroleum refineries around the world have adopted different technological options to manage the solid wastes generated during the refining process and stocking of crude oil. These include physical, chemical and biological treatment methods. In this investigation bacterial mediated oil separation is effected. Two strains of Bacillus were isolated from petroleum-contaminated soils, and inoculated into slurry of sludge, and sludge-sand combinations. The bacteria could effect the separation of oil so as to form a floating scum within 48h with an efficiency of 97% at < or =5% level of sludge in the sludge-sand mixture. The activity was traced to the production of biosurfactants by bacteria.

The second state in less than a month has made a direct challenge to the Federal Reserve monopoly on money, by forwarding a bill that would “eliminate capital gains taxes on gold and silver specie.” The Idaho House voted by a margin of 56-13 on March 14 to pass House Bill 206, following the Arizona House’s approval of a similar bill.

According to the Tenth Amendment Center:

The legislation would amend Idaho revenue statutes, providing “that capital gains and losses on precious metals bullion and monetized bullion sales be added to or subtracted from Idaho taxable income.… Idaho H206 is a revenue neutral proposal over the long run. That’s because both precious metals gains (income) and losses are backed out of the calculation of taxable income for Idahoans.

Patient engagement {#s007}
------------------

A monthly outreach was made to patients able to engage in care management outreach. Where a valid, short-message service (SMS)-capable number was provided, outreach was initiated with ANNA Your Virtual Care Assistant. ANNA is a technology developed by CCMI to deliver secure content and questionnaires to patients, initiated by a text message sent to their phone ([Figure 1b](#f1){ref-type="fig"}). Patients who did not have a valid SMS-capable number but who could engage in CCM outreach were contacted by coordinators via telephone. Coordinators met with the nurse or caregiver of patients who were unable to engage with outreach attempts directly because of physical, mental, or cognitive limitation. The core care management questions shown in [Figure 1b](#f1){ref-type="fig"} were utilized across outreach modalities.

PractitionerThe team believes that proactive identification of hospitalization risk and communication of the risk to the practice may have led to this group being hospitalized at approximately half the rate of patients not in this high-risk tier.

A similar approach was taken when CCM patients were flagged as high risk for falls by the CCMI clinical staff using the JHFRA tool, where 40% of the CCM population was high risk. JHFRA was especially useful because of the visibility of its score components, which provide clinical targets for practitioners to decrease falls risk.^[@B11]^ For example, if a patient received 5 points for being on high risk for falls medications, the practitioner could deprescribe such meds, thereby decreasing the JHFRA predicted falls risk. Polypharmacy risk was captured simply as the total


following constraints apply in general:

you would need to run the tests on a number of instances at least to account for the varying amount of steal time due to random CPU loads on neighboring virtual machines
you shouldn't run the benchmarking application on the same virtual machine as the benchmarked one in general, as this obviously impacts the result

The brassy wail of trumpets and trombones, the reedy intonation of saxophones and the steady thump of a drum beat could be heard through the hallway walls at Tiverton High School late Thursday afternoon, as members of the school’s jazz ensemble did a run-through of charts they’d been honing for the last few months.

Members took turns taking improvised solos over the rhythm section.

It’s been a busy spring for the music department overall. It culminated last week, with some 80 members of the stage ensembles and the chorus performing for the first time in their recently renovated auditorium at Tiverton High school.

The Tigers marching band will also perform in the Fall River Memorial Day Parade.

You might have a f'd turbo. I would exchange it or have it looked at
before it takes a crap and shoots a bunch of metal into your engine.

This was one of the reasons I did not order my turbos off the net
and got it from a local turbo builder that my tuner knows and trust
and a warranty is a matter of driving across town and dropping it off.

They probably are good turbos, yours was probably just not assembled
right. No one is 100% for 100% of the time. Someone has to have the
bad luck of getting the odd one that got thru.

Democracy is two wolves and a sheep sitting down and voting on whats for lunch.

Yeah I hear you. It's weird because the impeller blades don't bindgarrett turbo's. Fortunately if i do decide to get something like a gt47r or so on i can get it here and take it back for work etc. But if i decide to go with a pt setup i wont be so lucky.

Alright I contacted the company that deals with the warranty work for the master power turbo's, there located in Miami, FL. They told me to send the turbo in and they will inspect it to figure out what failed on it, I expected this. Now only time will tell if master power will stand up to what seems to be faulty assembly/machine work. Hopefully they won't try and blaim the turbo failure on me. My fingers are crossed and i'll keep you guys updated.

Q:

Frozen prize pile in canasta when all but one player has only 1 card in hand?

What happens when the prize pile is frozen in canasta, and all but one player has only 1 card in hand, assuming no players have a canasta yet, and the player with more cards has already melded-in?
This occurred when playing a round of 3-person canasta. Both other players were down to two cards, while I had 6 cards in hand, and I had just taken the discard pile. I had already met the entry meld requirement. I then baited the next person in turn order to take the prize pile by discarding a card they wanted, they did and so ended the turn with one card in hand. That player then did theQ:

Instantiate class with no constructor and populate get-only members

In order to display a Geopath on a MapControl on UWP I need to pass the Geopath to the MapControl through a metadata class called MapRoute.
I can't instantiate the MapRoute class for some reason. When I try:
var route = new MapRoute();

IntelliSense says this:
MapRoute' does not contain a constructor that takes 0 arguments
How can I instantiate this class? How to populate its get-only members?
If I can't, how does the API/Runtime do it?

A:

The API underlying Library have private or protected member that it has access to.
A MapRouteFinderResult is returned when you call the methods of the MapRouteFinder class.

deal with the absorption term $|\textbf{u}|^{\sigma-2}\textbf{u}$. Condition $\textbf{u}(\cdot,0)=\textbf{u}_0$ a.e. in $\Omega$, should be interpreted in the sense that $\textbf{u}$ is $\textbf{L}^2(\Omega)$ weakly continuous for $t=0$, *i.e.* $$\lim_{t\to 0}\int_{\Omega}\left(\textbf{u}(t)-\textbf{u}_0\right)\cdot\textbf{v}\,d\,\textbf{x}=0\qquad \forall\ \textbf{v}\in\textbf{L}^{2}(\Omega)\,.$$ For $N$ and $\sigma\leq 4$, (\[w-s-s-h-t\]) holds for every $\textbf{v}\in\textbf{V}$, because, due to Sobolev’s inequality, $\textbf{H}^1(\Omega)\hookrightarrow\textbf{L}^p(\Omega)$ for $p\leq 4$ and, in consequence, $\textbf{V}\cap\textbf{L}^p(\Omega)=\textbf{V}$. Definition \[def-w-sol-tp\] is silent about the initial data $\textbf{u}_0$ and the forces field $\textbf{f}$. But, this will be clear when we bellow establish the existence result.

Existence result {#sec-existence}
----------------

To prove the existence of a weak solution of the modified NS problem (\[NSE-2\])-(\[b-c\]), we will adapt the same arguments used to prove existence for the classical NS problem (see, *e.g.* Lions [@Lions-1969], Temam [@Temam-1979], Galdi [@Galdi-2000]). However, it is worth to notice that, in (\[NSE-2\]), additionally to the usual nonlinear termfluid, or at the boundary, which makes the flow slower when the time is passing by or even stop it in a finite time. Other possibility is to consider the absorption term as resulting from a real or fictitious force as already mentioned in (\[force-feedback\]). For instance, in Geophysical flows the fictitious Coriolis force resulting from the Coriolis acceleration is given by $2\mathbf{\Omega\times}\textbf{u}$, where $\mathbf{\Omega}$ is the Earth angular velocity, and $\alpha|\textbf{u}|^{\sigma-2}\textbf{u}$ approximates the Coriolis force if $\sigma=2$. In this case, we only obtain exponential and power-time decays. From the theoretical point of view, the results of this paper can be extended to a great variety of Fluid Mechanics problems modified by introducing in the momentum equation an absorption like term. In Oliveira [@OB-absorption] we consider the Oberbeck-Boussinesq problem

With the general election field all but set, Republicans are looking to turn the midterms into a national referendum on Obama. Democrats want the focus to be squarely on the candidates, and they’re spending the typically quiet summer months trying to define Republican hopefuls as unlikeable and extreme.

( See POLITICO's full coverage of the 2014 elections)

Obama’s approval rating continues to hover around his all-time lows, especially in the GOP-leaning states that will decide control of the upper chamber. Obamacare is not as toxic now as during the disastrous HealthCare.gov rollout, but it undeniably remains a drag on Democrats. The jury is still out on the economy: The Commerce Department announced a 2.9 percent decline in first-quarter gross domestic product late last month, but then


Pryor is not Blanche Lincoln. In 2010, there was never much doubt that Lincoln — one of only three Democratic Senate incumbents to lose reelection in the past decade — would get wiped out. Republicans saw Pryor as a dead man walking when Rep. Tom Cotton got into the race and cleared the field. But the conventional wisdom has shifted; big Democratic TV buys drove up Cotton’s negatives, and the race is very much in play. After some public polls showed Pryor ahead, a handful of Republican internal surveys have shown Cotton in the lead.

Pryor, who didn’t even draw a Republican opponent in 2008, is a skilled retail campaigner with an independent image. But Arkansas has grown more conservative, and Pryorhe hasn’t ruled out running as a third-party candidate, and in a close race he could siphon enough votes to be a spoiler.

5. Iowa

The race to succeed retiring Democratic Sen. Tom Harkin feels like a true toss-up. State Sen. Joni Ernst rode late momentum to a GOP primary romp. Rep. Bruce Braley, from northeast Iowa, cleared the Democratic field and has had a year to build up an infrastructure and raise money. But Braley has also made unforced errors, including a disparaging comment about Sen. Chuck Grassley’s background as a farmer.

Ernst is poised, has a good bio — she’s from a rural area and is in the Army Reserve — and is running as an outsider. And Republican Terry Branstad, who’s favored to win reelection to a sixth
