Q:

Sun, Audio-player and Sound I/O

I have a few questions related to Sun, Audio-player and Sound Input/Output
Why is the sun.audio.AudioPlayer package not part of the Java API? Some info is here instead: http://grepcode.com/file/repository.grepcode.com/java/root/jdk/openjdk/6b14/sun/audio/AudioPlayer.java Yet it is still part of the default JDK build I am using.
I have tried using JMF and spent half the day screw balling around with it, to no real avail. I managed to import the jmf.jar into Eclipse I tried a demo script and it still spat out errors like nobody business. Considering its abandoned now?!? Java does however provide a  link for a relatively new version: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/download-142937.html I am a little concerned however how at the bottom of the page the following is written "false,,,,,,,"?

This is my last project as a guest designer for Scrapiniec. It was a great honor and I had a lot of fun playing with all the beautiful chipboard designs!! Thank you very much! This layout is devoted to Asica Panewka because her favorite color is lilac :) . For the background I used a stencil and 3 different shades of purple/lilac distress inks. The chipboard pieces were also painted with distress inks, white paint and stickles. I hope I have inspired you the last three months! Remember, there are no rules! Just let yourself free to create ART from your heart and have fun!! Hugs from Greece!!xoxo

Once again, I focused on the colors of my photo in order to create the


difference.
Longer answer:
Like all Java objects, arrays are passed by value ... but the value is the reference to the array.  So, when you assign something to a cell of the array in the called method, you will be assigning to the same array object that the caller sees.
This is NOT pass-by-reference.  Real pass-by-reference involves passing the address of a variable.  With real pass-by-reference, the called method can assign to its local variable, and this causes the variable in the caller to be updated.
But not in Java.  In Java, the called method can update the contents of the array, and it can update its copy of the array reference, but it can't update the variable in the caller that holds the caller's arrayreference.  Hence ... what Java is providing is NOT pass-by-reference.
Here are some links that explain the difference between pass-by-reference and pass-by-value.  If you don't understand my explanations above, or if you feel inclined to disagree with the terminology, you should read them.

Related SO question:

Is Java "pass-by-reference" or "pass-by-value"?

Historical background:
The phrase "pass-by-reference" was originally "call-by-reference", and it was used to distinguish the argument passing semantics of FORTRAN (call-by-reference) from those of ALGOL-60 (call-by-value and call-by-name).

In call-by-value, the argument expression is evaluated to a value, and that value is copied to the called method.
In call-by-reference, the argument expression is partially evaluated to an "lvalue" (i.e. the address of a variable or array element) that is passed to the calling method.  The calling method can then directly read

Police State in my own front yard.

Small town police state. It's happening. Right here, right now. I thought they were just picking on me for being somewhat open with my opposition to their parasitism, but I have discovered they are out of control and on a thieving rampage.

Even a non-libertarian I spoke to yesterday admitted that this town has too many cops (3) trying to finance their unnecessary and pointless jobs through extortion. So he didn't say it in quite those words, but that was the gist.binding sites for the fluorescent reagent FlAsH, which, once bound, provides a readout for successful oligomerization. As a proof of principle, we applied this technique to the iron storage protein, DNA-binding protein from starved cells from E. coli. Several linker lengths and conformations for the presentation of the cysteine pairs were screened to optimize the engineered binding sites. We confirmed that our designs were successful in both lysates and with purified proteins, and that FlAsH binding was dependent upon cage assembly. Following successful characterization of the assay, its throughput was expanded. A two-dimension matrix of pH and denaturing buffer conditions was screened to optimize nanocage stability. We intend to use this method for the high throughput screening of protein cage libraries and of conditions for the generation of

The rule as to substantiality is not different, we think, from that to be applied in reviewing the refusal to direct a verdict at law, where the lack of substantial evidence is the test of the right to a directed verdict. In either case, substantial evidence is evidence furnishing a substantial basis of fact from which the fact in issue can reasonably be inferred; and the test is not satisfied by evidence which merely creates a suspicion or which amounts to no more than a scintilla or which gives equal support to inconsistent inferences.

motions for preliminary injunction, as we set forth above. The opinions in Mohammed, 309 F.3d at 99-100, and in Arevalo, 344 F.3d at 7-9, both set forth clear multi-level analyses of why 8 U.S.C. § 1252(f)(2) applies only to permanent prohibitions of removal and not to motions to stay the execution of a removal order, and we are persuaded by the reasoning in those opinions to reject the Eleventh Circuit's "clear and convincing evidence" requirement. We also agree with the Ninth Circuit that the "clear and convincing evidence" standard is inapplicable to motions to stay removal pending judicial review of the underlying petition. See Andreiu, 253 F.3d at 480-83. As 8 U.S.C. § 1252(b)(3)(B), which in effect requires petitioners subject to a removal order to affirmatively seek apersonal example: 15 years ago I lived in a 2BR duplex in downtown Palo Alto owned by a major Palo Alto landlord, splitting the $2,000/month rent with a roommate. My old unit was listed for rent last year for nearly $8,000, a 4x increase in 15 years. And the landlord’s tax bill? It turns out this unit is part of a tax parcel that includes three buildings with a total of 8 units. The landlord pays $7,480 a year for the entire parcel. Yes you read that right. His annual tax for 8 units is less than the monthly rent he collects for a single unit. In other words, he pays less than $1,000 per unit per year; at a current market value of $1.5 million (it’s probably


In other words, we’re not just making sure granny can stay in her home — we are subsidizing her children and grandchildren forever. Our country was founded on the idea that it shouldn’t matter who your parents were. The founding fathers were violently opposed to anything even smacking of aristocracy. Prop 13 is fundamentally anathema to this principle: if your parents were able to buy a home 30 or 40 years ago, the state dramatically subsidizes your property tax bill for the rest of your life. There are so many benefits to having parents with means — in America, a lifetime tax discount should not be one of them.

A potentially controversial aside: the earlier your parents bought their home, the bigger your tax discount. But not everyone couldthat the components of the stroma could differently modulate the expression of miRNAs. These results suggest that CLL cells in tissues (bone marrow or lymph nodes) surrounded by stroma show a different pattern of miRNAs expression than CLL cells circulating in the blood, suggesting that the stroma effect on miRNAs expression should be considered in therapeutic strategies. The mutual interaction between tumor cells and their microenvironment is one of the fundamental pathways that could be mediated and regulated by miRNAs.

In the present review, we are providing a comprehensive overview of the interplay between miRNAs and TME components in the different B-cell lymphomas and the involvement of this interplay in diagnosis, disease progression, and its reflection in treatment resistance.

4. Involvement of TME-Associated miRNAs in Diagnosis and/or Prognosis {#sec4-ijms-21-03387}
=====================================================================

In the


endeavor to identify diagnostic and prognostic miRNAs that have significance in B-cell lymphomas and at the same time related to stroma, several global miRNAs profiling on multiple types of B-cell lymphomas were conducted. In the study by Iqbal et al., 2012 aiming to identify a reliable miRNAs classifier signature for MCL, a wide-scale miRNA profiling analysis of different types of B-cell lymphoma, normal B-cell subsets, and stromal cells were performed \[[@B52-ijms-21-03387]\]. The miRNA profiling of the different B-cell lymphomas revealed two prominent miRNA signatures. One signature is highly distinctive of DLBCL and BL with a list of miRNAs referred to as stromal miRNAs (13 miRNAs). The other signature is referred to the miRNAs of the naive-and resting B-cells (6 miRNAs) and is more representative of MCL and smallto be highly expressed in CD4+ T-cells than B-cells \[[@B55-ijms-21-03387],[@B56-ijms-21-03387]\] connecting the expression of this miRNA to T-cell subsets and revealing a possible influence of immune T-cells on the miRNAs expression profile of FL patients.

Much of the research on miRNAs as biomarkers has focused on their use as diagnostic signatures and to a lesser extent as disease response biomarkers. One of the concerns is the potential non-specific elevation of miRNAs resulting from tumor cell lysis following treatment. However, miRNAs originating from non-malignant tumor-infiltrating cells could also reflect the disease response \[[@B57-ijms-21-03387]\]. MiRNAs that are implicated in regulating the activity of the immunosuppressive components of TME, such as monocytic myeloid-derived suppressor cells (moMDSCs) and tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs), are considered disease response biomarkers in patients with DLBCL \[[@B58-ijms-21-03387]\]. MDSCs are


EBV-induced lymphomagenesis. EBV encodes around 44 miRNAs that belong to two different classes: BART and BHRF1. These miRNAs contribute to the pathogenic effects of EBV through directly targeting cellular and/or viral mRNAs and thus interfering with several important cellular mechanisms, such as survival, proliferation, immune escape, and apoptosis. Moreover, EBV-miRNAs can regulate the surrounding microenvironment of the infected lymphoma cells with strong implications in cancer immunosurveillance \[[@B84-ijms-21-03387],[@B85-ijms-21-03387],[@B86-ijms-21-03387],[@B87-ijms-21-03387]\]. For instance, in EBV-associated NHLs, the increased levels of BHRF1-3 were inversely correlated with the expression of its direct cellular chemokine target CXCL-11/I-TAC \[[@B88-ijms-21-03387]\]. CXCL-11 is one of IFN-γ-inducible T-cell chemokines that mediates the immune cell trafficking into TME by acting as a potent T-cell chemo-attractant. The interaction between this chemokine with its receptor (CXCR3) could recruit immune cell subsets intoonly influence lymphoma cell development and proliferation but also control and confer their resistance to chemotherapy drugs \[[@B90-ijms-21-03387]\]. The importance of bone marrow microenvironment in regulating lymphoma apoptosis induced by drugs is extensively reported in vitro and in vivo \[[@B66-ijms-21-03387],[@B91-ijms-21-03387],[@B92-ijms-21-03387],[@B93-ijms-21-03387]\]. These studies elucidated the reason why bone marrow is considered the preferred site for tumor relapse following conventional treatments. Experiments involving co-culture of lymphoma and stromal cells revealed that cell-to-cell interaction contributes to the acquisition of a multidrug-resistant phenotype \[[@B94-ijms-21-03387]\]. Therefore, disruption of tumor-stroma interaction may enhance the efficacy of cytotoxic agents \[[@B94-ijms-21-03387],[@B95-ijms-21-03387]\]. Several molecular targets control the stroma-mediated drug resistance acquisition and among them, miRNAs play a vital role.

An example of the cell adhesion-mediated drug resistance acquisition is the significant reduction in the pro-apoptotic protein BIM11 that

but rather because its source code--the specialized language in which it is written--is kept open to public view, enabling developers to freely comprehend it, modify it, debug it, customize it, and distribute it. With proprietary software, like Microsoft Windows, developers can typically do none of those things, because of both legal prohibitions and technological barriers.

Though Linux began as a hobby of sorts among software developers, in recent years IBM, Hewlett-Packard, NEC, Intel, Computer Associates, Fujitsu, Hitachi, and others have come to see enormous commercial potential in it. These companies believe they can make money indirectly off Linux by selling hardware loaded with it, proprietary software that runs on top of it, or support services that maintain and optimize it. Such companies, led by IBM, have already invested morecommunal approach intrinsically results in more reliable, bug-free software than proprietary code.

Eventually Stallman's upper-level GNU functions were placed on top of Torvalds's kernel, and the operating system was complete. The whole is now typically referred to as Linux.

But there was a crucial legal difference between the portion of the project led by Stallman and that led by Torvalds. The difference stems from Stallman's rather fanatical notion of "free"--which extends beyond the conventional notion of merely allowing people to do what they want. Stallman foresaw that some people might want to take free software, modify it, and claim the modifications as their own property. He did not want that to happen. To him it was fundamental that if he was going to let others see and play with what


modifications they make. It's a little like a reverse copyright. A friend of Stallman's famously called the GPL "copyleft--all rights reversed."

Many people have mistakenly assumed that the free-software movement is at odds with copyright law. On the contrary, it depends upon it. The GPL is not a conventional contract, and its enforceability, most lawyers believe, hinges on copyright laws (see box). Stallman was therefore scrupulous about keeping his copyrights in good order. In 1984, for instance, he quit MIT to ensure that the university could not claim ownership of the software he wrote under the so-called work-for-hire doctrine that governs many employer-employee relationships. He also required that any contributor to the GNU project formally assign his or her copyrights to the Free Software Foundation in a pen-and-paper document,other huge question mark left by the same contract revolves around the Unix copyrights, which are SCO's sole basis for demanding licenses from Linux end users. Notwithstanding the claims of the press release heralding the deal, a critical appendix to the contract states that "all copyrights" are excluded from the sale. SCO claims that this was a typo--a whopping typo, to be sure--that was corrected in an amendment a year later. But the amendment itself is confusing and vague.

The one advantage SCO might have in this absolutely critical dispute with Novell is that McBride was present when the sales contract was being negotiated--though he happened to be on the Novell side of the table back then. By contrast, none of Novell's current top management were. "I was in

Such an action by the state casts a pall over the integrity of the alternatives evaluation process and raises a question as to whether the state intends to impartially and fairly evaluate alternatives.

Absolutely.

While it’s true that ice and snow can make a home inspection more of a challenge, these conditions won’t stop an experienced home inspector from performing as thorough an inspection as possible.

Colder temperatures make an ideal time for testing the home’s heating system, as well as seeing how well the home stands up to cold-weather stress. Limitations of winter inspections include difficulty detecting dormant insects and restrictions against running the home’s air conditioner when the temperature dips below 60

to the crime, the jury convicted Motley of capital murder.  After hearing evidence on issues relevant to sentencing, including evidence that Motley was physically and sexually abused as a child, the jury was presented with two of the three Texas special issues:

6
(1) Was the conduct of the Defendant that caused the death of the deceased committed deliberately and with the reasonable expectation that the death of the deceased would result?

7
(2) Is there a probability that the defendant would commit criminal acts of violence that would constitute a continuing threat to society?

8
See TEX. CODE CRIM. PROC. ANN.  . art. 37.071(b) (Vernon 1989).  The jury answered both of these questions affirmatively and, as a result, Motley was automatically sentenced to death.

9
Motley's conviction and sentence were affirmed onId.

In reviewing ineffective assistance claims raised on habeas corpus, we do not, contrary to the district court's assertion otherwise, defer to a state court's conclusion that counsel rendered constitutionally effective assistance.  As Justice O'Connor has stated:

19
Ineffectiveness is not a question of "basic, primary, or historical fac[t]," Townsend v. Sain, 372 U.S. 293, 309 n. 6 [83 S.Ct. 745, 755 n. 6, 9 L.Ed.2d 770] (1963).  Rather, like the question whether multiple representation in a particular case gave rise to a conflict of interest, it is a mixed question of law and fact.

20
466 U.S. at 698, 104 S.Ct. at 2070.   And, "[a]lthough state court findings of fact made in the course of deciding an ineffectiveness claim are subject to the deference requirement of Sec. 2254(d),


trial counsel, instead of calling him to the stand, should have rested after the State put on its case in chief.  He contends that, if he had not been called to testify, and if the State had not impeached him with a statement in which he admitted killing Duran, there would have been insufficient evidence upon which to convict him.  We disagree.  Motley has not demonstrated a reasonable probability that, if he had not testified, (1) the jury would not have convicted him of capital murder, or (2) his conviction would have been reversed on the basis of insufficient evidence.  In short, we find that the State introduced ample evidence during its case in chief to support a guilty verdict.  Thus, Motley failsmoral culpability and made imposition of the death penalty unwarranted would be unable to give effect to that conclusion if the juror also believed that Penry committed the crime "deliberately."   Thus, we cannot be sure that the jury's answer to the first special issue reflected a "reasoned moral response" to Penry's mitigating evidence.

Id. at 323, 109 S.Ct. at 2949.

41
The Court similarly held that Penry's evidence of mental retardation and child abuse was relevant beyond the scope of the second special issue, which asks "whether there is a probability that the defendant would commit criminal acts of violence that would constitute a continuing threat to society."   The Court specifically focused on the fact that the mitigating evidence offered by Penry, to the extent it was


relevant to the second special issue, was as likely to be aggravating as mitigating.  It stated:

42
Penry's mental retardation and history of abuse is thus a two-edged sword:  it may diminish his blameworthiness for his crime even as it indicates that there is a probability that he will be dangerous in the future.

43
Id. at 324, 109 S.Ct. at 2949.  "The second special issue, therefore, did not provide a vehicle for the jury to give mitigating effect to Penry's evidence of mental retardation and childhood abuse."  Id.

Finally, the Court held that the third special issue, which asks "whether the conduct of the defendant in killing the deceased was unreasonable in response to the provocation, if any, by the deceased," was an insufficient vehicle for giving mitigatinghis head between doors.  Other instruments of abuse included:  "belt buckles in the face" and a boxed-in wrench, which his father used to hit Motley "everywhere he could hit."

According to Motley, the abuse by his father did not stop at beatings;  it also included sexual and psychological abuse.  Indeed, Motley testified that his father had anal and oral sex with him until he was about thirteen.  Although Motley could not recall the number of times his father sexually abused him, he stated that the sexual abuse stopped after his mother threatened to divorce his father.  Motley also recounted an incident in which he was punished for not cleaning out his gerbil cage.  He stated that his father took his gerbils out

He added: “Germany and France, it’s an open secret of Europe – they are the most powerful players on the European continent. Of course they are.

“What they believe is very influential, sometimes decisively so. But it’s the whole-of-Europe decision, it’s a 27-country decision.”

Michel Barnier, the EU’s Brexit negotiator, said Britain must budge by next Friday, but Mr Davis said: “So far in this negotiation we have made quite a lot of compromises.”

The comments may provoke a backlash in EU capitals, where heads of state have insisted they are united in a belief the UK must agree withdrawal terms - including the financial settlement - before the talks can progress.

Effect of medium treatment on microbial degradation of sterols by Nocardia.
The rate of transformation of cholesterol by Nocardia sp. is affected by the culture medium composition as well as by the way it has been treated before inoculation. When 1% of peptone was sterilized separately and afterwards added to the basic medium, the transformation of cholesterol to bisnorchola-1,4-dienic acid, as well as further aerobic degradation, was accelerated by a factor of 2. If this enriched medium was kept at rest overnight, the rate of transformation was lowered to half. Heating of additional peptone together with a basic medium resulted only in a slight diminution of the transformation of the preceding 4-ene metabolite to the final 1,4-diene when compared with a normal basic medium without any additive.Introduction {#sec1-1}

Germinomas, gonadal, and extragonadal are known to exhibit granulomatous response.\[[@ref1]\] The presence of this granulomatous response is seen rarely in intracranial germinomas. However, the presence of extensive granulomatous response in intracranial germinomas often leads to misdiagnosis and many times delays diagnosis. As germinomas show good response to chemotherapy and radiotherapy, prompt diagnosis is very essential in patient management. We report a case of germinoma with extensive granulomatous response and discuss the diagnostic difficulties associated with it.

Case Report {#sec1-2}
===========

A 17-year-old boy presented with a history of headache for 8 months, progressive painless diminution of vision (right \> left) and polyuria for 6 months. The patient had remained short in stature and had failed to develop secondary sexual characters. His general examination was unremarkable. Perimetry revealed a bitemporal hemianopia.


tissue is available.

There are quite a few lesions in the sellar and suprasellar regions which show granulomatous response. Neurosarcoidosis, tuberculosis, and fungal infection show granulomatous response, and a detailed clinical workup is necessary to look for systemic involvement. Granulomatous/lymphocytic hypophysitis, ruptured Rathke\'s cleft cyst, and cystic craniopharyngiomas are some other causes of granulomatous response in the sellar and suprasellar regions. Hence, in any granulomatous lesion not responding to appropriate treatment, a possibility of germinoma should be considered and ruled out.

Intracranial GCTs occur at sites that are surgically difficult to access and the surgical biopsy material is often limited. Many times, if the material is obtained from the periphery of the tissue which shows granulomatous response or if the underlying tumor is masked by granulomatous response, there is aQ:

expression of *cadA* resulted in cadaverine production levels up to 300 mg l^−1^ during shake flask conditions. A volume‐corrected concentration of 6.5 g l^−1^ of cadaverine was obtained by high‐cell‐density fed‐batch methanol fermentation. Our results demonstrated that efficient conversion of L‐lysine into cadaverine presumably has severe effects on feedback regulation of the L‐lysine biosynthetic pathway in *B. methanolicus*. By also investigating the cadaverine tolerance level, *B. methanolicus* proved to be an exciting alternative host and comparable to the well‐known bacterial hosts *E. coli* and *Corynebacterium glutamicum*. This study represents the first demonstration of microbial production of cadaverine from methanol.

Just because 10 sets of teeth are Scandinavian, does not guarantee this is a Scandinavian ship. Since, if costs allow, the 41 other sets of teeth, might reveal a different origin. If tests prove some skulls have a southern or eastern Baltic origin this may send shock-waves through the (Dark-Age) history and archaeology academic community, as this means Slavs, Balts, Finno-Ugrians (Estonians and Finns, Saami) will have to be included in late Anglo-Saxon and Viking history, rather than excluded from it by means of a 'Berlin Wall' or 'Iron Curtain'?

While the brazenness may be unusual, the theft isn’t. High beef prices have made cattle attractive as a quick score for people struggling in the sluggish economy, and other livestock are being taken too. Six thousand lambs were stolen from a feedlot in Texas, and nearly 1,000 hogs have been stolen in recent weeks from farms in Iowa and Minnesota. The thefts add up to millions of dollars in losses for U.S. ranches. Authorities say today’s thieves are sophisticated compared to the horseback bandits of the rugged Old West.

You may have noticed it’s been a hot summer so far. June temperatures were above average across the world, and both NASA and NOAA ranked the month among the top five warmest since record keeping began in the late 1800s.

Not surprisingly, snow extent in the Northern Hemisphere was at its third-lowest on record by June. But what makes the current paltry snow cover more significant is the fact that, just a few months ago, the Northern Hemisphere was unusually snowy — April 2013 had the ninth-highest snow extent since 1967. A month later, half that snow had melted away. The Washington Post reports:

“This is likely one of the most rapid shifts in near opposite extremes on record, if not the largest

Behavioral tests are common in various fields of basic and preclinical research such as pharmacology i.e., to test drug effects upon learning and memory and behavioral patterns. For this reason a variety of specific tests have been developed to assess the degree of anxiety- or depression-like behavior as well as cognitive abilities. In practice relatively small sample sizes of experimental animals are compared, i.e., in pharmacological studies. Furthermore, the animals often undergo a battery of tests in order to gain comprehensive results for different behavioral patterns. The results of these tests that indicate different behavioral dimension should be proved not to be highly correlated (Steptoe, [@B32]). However, intertask correlations in test batteries have been repeatedly found (Arendash and King, [@B3]; Learmonth et al., [@B18]). The principal component

The usually used variables of the ration of the time spent in the central and peripheral part of the arena in order to assess the motivation to voluntarily explore unsafe areas were not considered because there was minimal variability between animals, thus they do not provide information about individuality and unnecessarily increases the number of variables in the PCA. In order to provide information about the readiness to enter unsafe areas the number of entries in open arms of the elevated plus maze test has been considered (Carola et al., [@B8]).

Rota rod
--------

The rota-rod is a widely used test to assess motor disabilities of rodents. The time-length the animals are able tostay on a rotating rod is considered to be a correlate of motor abilities (Brooks and Dunnett, [@B6]). The apparatus consists of four adjacent rods (10 cm in width at a height of 40 cm) separated with plastic barriers. The animals were placed on the rods which rotated with increasing speed. Rats were tested three times. The time until the rats fall off the rods was measured and the mean time (RRtime; s) for the three tests was used for analysis.

Forced swim test
----------------

The forced swim test is a common test to assess depressive-like behavior. Therefore the time the animals are immobile and not struggling to escape from the water is considered to be a correlate of depressive-like behavior (Slattery and Cryan, [@B31]). The test consists of a training

In order to reveal different high or low factor loadings in individual rats we counted double appearances in the different high and low portions of the factors. This overlaps (in %) are indicated in Figure [3](#F3){ref-type="fig"}. High percent values of individual rats are given for the factors activity and spatial cognition (ac-sc) and depression and motor abilitiy (d-ma) with little difference between high and low performers. The combinations ac-ma, sc-d, and a-d show the highest differences between high and low performers. There is no overlap at all between anxiety and depression in high performers in contrast to low performers, whereas a

The variance, however is different for variables between tests and even within tests, which has also been found in the present study. Further, power calculations have to be performed specifically for different statistical tests like linear regression or differences between means. Thus, simplifying preconditions for power calculations (i.e., by using factor scores) can reduce the number of calculations and probably also the number of animals used. The components extracted by the PCA are loaded significantly by behavioral variables of the different tests exclusively, making the assignment to underlying behaviroal patterns more easy. This is not the case in the linear regression analysis in which variables between tests are correlated.price to be force fed ads,” says another.

2K Games has been monetizing the NBA 2K franchise on an increasingly aggressive level year after year, with 2K20 being the culmination of years of predatory business practices. While some have made comparisons between loot boxes and gambling, 2K20 features a literal slot machine, among other things, that allows players to earn in-game rewards. Now that unskippable advertisements are sprinkled into the mix, it’s hard to play 2K20 without feeling like you’re constantly being marketed to or sold something.

I think this is good news

$7 million in funding! It won't be a lump sum of course, it will be fed out as needed, but I believe this is a huge step forward.

Finding ways to help our indigenous people stay at school, having indigenous teachers who understand and can teach the cultural heritage along with the standard curriculum, surely this is a good thing.
We have Catholic schools, where religion is part of the curriculum, Jewish schools, where their culture and religion is studied, languages are studied such as French, German, Indonesian.
Now here is a chance for our own Indigenous people to have their own languages, culture and history studied as well as the usual Math, English, Science etc.
And it's about time! Should have happened years

The p.G2019S mutation of the leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) has been identified as the most prevalent genetic cause of familial and sporadic Parkinson's disease (PD). The Cre-LoxP recombination system has been used to correct the LRRK2-G2019S mutation in patient derived human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) in order to generate isogenic controls. However, the remaining LoxP site can influence gene expression. In this study, we report the generation of a footprint-free LRRK2-G2019S isogenic hiPS cell line edited with the CRISPR/Cas9 and piggyBac technologies.

Since k<1, and x is large, and lambda>0,  lambda x grows large faster than x^k/lambda^k (the monomial with the greater exponent wins). In other words, the lambda x term dominates the x^k/lambda^k term. So lambda x - x^k/lambda^k is large and positive.
Thus, the limit goes to infinity.

If you’ve been around Naked Winery for very long, you know “We aim to tease!” and have a mission to cut America’s divorce rate in half by encouraging couples to connect nightly over a glass of wine.

It’s one thing to have a mission. It’s another thing to put the mission to the test: Is it working?

So we thought we’d do a little data dig. Data from the Oregon Health Authority shows a flat line on the divorce activity up to a spike in 2010 (probably stress from the Great Recession), followed by a reversion to norm and, actually, a downward trend in the last few years.

We compared divorce and marriage trends with trends for sales at Naked Winery since 2006, its first year with any sales toa few folks. As a first time thru-hiker, I am fascinated and wonder often why people do this because it is quite physically challenging and painful and can start becoming mentally taxing — some might even consider it a form of suffering. Whether it is for healing, repaying some karmic debt, religious reasons or trying to make sense or find the answer to some big life question, people are out here doing it!

Pilgrimages have existed for thousands of years all over the world: there’s the El Camino de Santiago in Spain, a European trail with Catholic pilgrimage roots, or the Ganges River, which runs from the Himalayas to the Bay of Bengal and gets about 20 million visits a year, with people believing that anyone who touches these


remove the Wine Locker.

Harley Colwell lives closer to Portland, Maine, than Portland, Ore., but a recent search for the perfect companion led him virtually to Naked Winery’s world headquarters in Hood River, Ore.

Before you get the wrong idea, let’s be clear – Harley is happily married.

He and his wife, Deanna, operate a small business they call Hardee Crafts, in Windsor, Maine. They make and sell distinctive — and challenging — games and puzzles.

Harley had recently completed design and construction of a novel device to secure a wine bottle from easy access. He was looking for a companion product that would show off the utility of his invention – a safe, empty wine bottle, to be precise.

He didn’t want an ordinary glass wine bottle. He and Deanna take hisall day, and Gleb had a great time practicing his German. At the end of the day, Engel gave us his last German chocolate candy bar, which Gleb and I saved until we hit the 100 mile mark!

We have hiked with two ladies that are hiking with their dachshund and little Pomeranian, stayed in a shelter with a family of five, the youngest being nine. They are also through-hikers (going the entire distance, south to north) and (we) even (met) a woman that lives right down the street from us in PDX. What a small world!

Trail life is amazing and so cleansing — our toughest decision at the end of a long day is figuring out which one of us gets the first foot rub (me) and who


You would have to be, too, if you wanted to cover as much ground, for the pure fun of it, as Gleb has, does and will.

Next up, starting April 4, Gleb, 35, and his partner, Barbara Prescott, 27, fly from their home in Portland, Ore., to Georgia, and begin hiking about 2,100 miles north along the classic Appalachian Trail.

In keeping with Naked Winery’s spirit of helping other people walk long distances, our Bend club manager, Chris Garvey, arranged to provide regular drop shipments of Outdoor Vino to Gleb and Barb.

Gleb has some experience at what the insiders calls “through hiking.” He spent four months in 2010 hiking the length of the Pacific Crest Trail, which runs roughly 2,600 miles.

“That time, I was solo,” he says. “I started attype of welding system that can be used, this is typically been done by the addition of add-on or optional components.
At present, there are no convenient engine-driven welding power supplies that include integral wire feeders for MIG or flux core welding. Such systems typically provide for stick welding only, and may not be configured to provide the type of power or power control suitable for MIG welding. For example, stick and TIG welding typically rely on constant current power control regimes, whereas MIG welding systems typically rely on constant voltage power control. Because no integral wire feeder is typically provided on such engine-driven systems, MIG welding operations, if possible at all, can be performed only with the use of a separate wire feeder which must be field attached


Primary therapists' views of managed care.
To assess the system's comprehensiveness in provision of public managed mental health care South Beach Psychiatric Center surveyed a sample (n = 54) of its primary therapists employed in its outpatient departments which have recently been reconfigured as key components of the New York State Office of Mental Health Prepaid Mental Health Plan. They are intended to be comprehensive resource and treatment centers which optimize recovery in a deregulated, capitated environment. As key informants, the primary therapists were asked to rate the difficulty they experience in providing or arranging adequate services and support groups in 19 areas. They were also asked to indicate if the fundamental problem was one of access, information, quality, or supply. The five areas with the highest ratings ofdoes not deny these accusations, but simply points out that this is one way in which he is different than John the Baptist, who ate sparingly and did not drink alcohol. Does this mean Jesus was a drunk? He probably was not, but many Christians, even to this day, believe drinking alcohol is a sin, and those people seem to bypass this passage where Jesus points out that he is frequently accused of being a drunkard because of his fondness for winebibbing.

STEALING

The very idea that Jesus “stole” anything may seem preposterous. However, a careful look at the passages that describe Jesus’ actions just prior to his final entry into Jerusalem might imply that he did just that.

Mark, Matthew, and Luke each describe a scene in which Jesus tells

Metaphorically, and not without irony, Father’s Day appears to have been birthed directly from Mother’s Day. Though days celebrating motherhood, maternity, and womanhood in general, had long graced calendars throughout the world, the modern Mother’s Day celebration did not begin in earnest until about 1908. Around that same time, a woman named Sonora Louis Smart Dodd first heard about the new Mother’s Day celebrations, and instead of thinking of herself (she was a mother, after all, and what are mothers most famous for if not thinking of others first?) she immediately began to formulate an idea for a similar celebration for fathers. Her own father, William Jackson Smart, had been an artilleryman in the Civil War, and had fathered six children, including Sonora. His wife, Sonora’s mother, hadI am fortunate enough to have had my first submitted article accepted. I don't know anything about wineries around Myrtle Beach, but I saw the topic, did about 4 hours of research, then wrote the article. I would post it here (it was only about 600 words), but part of the contract agreement states that the work can't be published anywhere else, print or electronic.

4. I've just finished the spring quarter at school, and now have 18 days off. In September, I will be two years into this program. I've managed, so far, to maintain my 4.0. I start clinical rotations again next quarter. I'll be going out on Fridays to a local orthopedic office, which is supposed to be a really good clinical site to go to.

$$ where $\{ \lambda_1,\lambda_2 -1,...,\lambda_{m-n}+1-m+n \}$ gives the positions of the labels $\times$. For $m=n$ these are the powers $Ber^{-N}$ of the Berezin, and the ground state is the trivial representation $\mathbf 1$. All ground states define irreducible representations $L(\lambda_N)$ in the given maximal atypical block $\Lambda$. For $\mu_i=\lambda_i - \lambda_{m-n}$, the representation $$L(\lambda_0) \otimes Ber^{-\lambda_{m-n}} \ =\ L(\mu_1,...,\mu_{m-n},0,...,0;0,...,0) \ ,$$ again is an irreducible maximal atypical representation (usually in another block). It is covariant in the following sense:

[*Covariant representations*]{}. Let $\lambda_1 \geq \lambda_2 \geq ... $ be any partition $\lambda$ of some natural number $N=deg(\lambda):=\sum_{\nu} \lambda_\nu$. Associated to this partion is the covariant representation $$\{ \lambda \}\ := \ Schur_{\lambda}(k^{m\vert n})$$ as a direct summand defined by a Schur projector of the $N$-fold tensor product $X^{\otimes N}$${\cal
T}_{n\vert n}$. Hence the restriction induces a tensor functor $$res: \ {\cal K}_{m\vert n} \ \longrightarrow \ Rep_k(Gl(m-n)) \otimes_k
{\cal K}_{n\vert n} \ .$$ The suspension $(.)[1]$ thereby maps to the suspension $id_{Rep_k(H)} \otimes_k (.)[1]$, since an embedding $X \hookrightarrow I $ decomposes into $Res(X)=\bigoplus_\rho
Res(X)_\rho \hookrightarrow \bigoplus_\rho Res(I)_\rho$. Thus $res$ becomes a triangulated $k$-linear tensor functor. The triangulated structure on $Rep_k(Gl(m-n)) \otimes_k
{\cal K}_{n\vert n} $ is induced by the triangulated structure on ${\cal K}_{n\vert n} $ in an obvious way, noticing that $Rep_k(H)$ is semisimple.

Using detecting subalgebras as in \[BKN\] one can show that $Ext^n_{{\cal T}_{m\vert n}}(k,k)$ restricts properly and surjectively to $Ext^n_{{\cal T}_{n\vert n}}(k,k)$. By the universal property of the Verdier quotient categories the functor $res$ induces a functor from the Verdier quotient categories ${\cal B}_{m\vert n}$ of


often do not play a role. This is also true for our discussion below. Hence, for the simplicity of exposition, we often assume $m=n$ in this section, although all statements hold for $m\geq
n$ without changes. So assume $m=n$. Then ${\cal B}={\cal B}_{n\vert n}$, so that there are no crosses for maximal atypical weights. The $n$ labels $\vee$ attached to a maximal atypical weight define a subset $J=\{x_1,..,x_n\}$ of the numberline ${\mathbb{Z}}$. We order the integers such that $x_1> ...
>x_n$ and put $\lambda_j = x_j + j-1$. Then $\lambda=(\lambda_1,..,\lambda_n;-\lambda_n,..,-\lambda_1)$ gives the associated weight vector of a maximal atypical simple object $L(\lambda)$.

[*Sectors and segments*]{}. Every cup diagram for a weight with $n$ labels $\vee$ contains $n$ lower cups. Some of them may be nested. If we remove all inner partsthe weight $\mu = \lambda_{\wedge\vee}$ which is obtain from $\lambda_{\vee\wedge}$ by switching $\vee$ and $\wedge$ at the places $i$ and $i+1$. It is of type $\lambda_{\wedge\vee}$.

-   [*The nonencapsulated boundary move*]{}. It only occurs in the nonencapsulated case. It moves the $\vee$ in $\lambda_{\vee\wedge}$ from position $i$ to the left boundary position $a$. The resulting weight $\mu$ is of type $\lambda_{\wedge\wedge}$.

-   [*The internal upper sector moves*]{}. For every internal upper sector $[a_j,b_j]$ (i.e. to the right of $[i,i+1]$) there is a summand whose weight is obtained from $\lambda_{\vee\wedge}$ by moving the label $\vee$ at $a_j$ to the position $i+1$. These moves define new weights $\mu$ of type $\lambda_{\vee\vee}$.

-   [*The internal lower sector moves*]{}. For every internal lower sector $[a_j,b_j]$ (i.e. to the left


weight $\lambda_{\vee\wedge}$ which is obtained by moving the starting point of the second sector $S_2$ one step down to the left. Since $q>1$ it does not touch the end of the first sector $S_1$. The new weight $\lambda_{\vee\wedge}$ still has $s$ segments, but now with the segment structure $$\lambda_{\vee\wedge} \ = \ ...\ \wedge (S_1\! \wedge ...\ q-1\ ... \wedge\! S'_2\ \wedge ) \wedge ... \ \ \mbox{rest with higher segments}$$ where the second segment $S'_2$ of lenght $2n_2$ has two completely nested sectors of lengths $2$ and $2(n_2-1)$. The algorithm I gives two further weights:

c\) If $q>2$, the boundary move weight gives a diagram with $s+1$ segments $$...\ \wedge (S_1 \!\wedge ...\ q-2\ ... \wedge\! T_{23}\ \wedge ) \wedge ...\ \ \mbox{rest with higher segments}  $$$d_\mu=d\vert_{V(\mu)}: \ V(\mu) \to V_{n-1}$ where $\mu < 0$ and $l(\mu,0)=n$. The cosocle of $V(\mu)$ is the simple object $L(\mu)$. Hence $V(\mu)=V(Ber^{-1})$ is the unique summand of $V_n$ with cosocle $Ber^{-1}$. Since none of the morphisms $d_\mu$ is trivial in $\cal T$ (see \[BS2\]), the summand $Ber^{-1}$ in the cosocle of $V_n$ maps nontrivially to the cosocle of its image $Q^*$ in $V_{n-1}$. The only indecomposable summand $V(\mu)$ of $V_n$ containing $Ber^{-1}$ in its cosocle is $V(Ber^{-1})$. The cosocle of $V(Ber^{-1})$ therefore injects into $Q$ by the definition of the morphism $d$. This completes the proof of proposition \[xi\].

We consider a triangulated category[^1] $\cal B$, such that there are strictly full additive subcategories ${\cal B}_0$ and ${\cal B}_1$ with the following properties

(in this case) use std::strings. Your code then becomes:
#include <string>
// [...]
std::string type = "whatever";
// [...]
if (type == "double")

This is almost identical to the C# equivalent: to compile this sample code in C# code just remove the include and the std::.
Usually, if you find code that uses char* directly in C++ it's usually doing it wrong (except maybe for some rare exceptions).

has to be built in one way, but I do think as we look at some of our challenges last year and some of the areas where we can improve, I think placing a focus on the mound is definitely one of those areas. Now, it doesn’t mean that we have to go add multiple top-of-the-rotation starters, but the rotation is definitely an area that we are going to look into this winter.”

You can bet the Phillies will do more than look into improving the rotation this winter. They will get right in there and mix it up for some of the top free-agent arms. The class is led by Gerrit Cole and Stephen Strasburg. It also includes Zack Wheeler, Madison Bumgarner and Jake Odorizzi.

There is already talk


and if you’re relying on free-agent starting pitching to build your organization, you go into that knowing you may be left disappointed at some point in that contract,” Klentak said. “Even the Phillies during their great run from ’07 to ‘11, some of the more notable pitchers (Roy Halladay and Cliff Lee) that they brought in were really good at the front end of those contracts and not healthy at the back end of those contracts.

“So, you just have to know the pitfalls, know what you’re getting into. I don’t like to operate in absolutes, to say that we would or would never do something. I never thought we’d sign a position player (Harper) to a 13-year contract but we did it. You want to be open-minded andrunning the

there are biblical texts contained in the Nag Hammadi library, specifically, found in the gospel of st. thomas, where jesus refutes being called the son of God, and refers to himself as the son of Adam, the human one. he speaks of himself as the embodiment of something of the ideal human.
as to his lineage, the new testament gospels clearly identify Joseph as not being the "father of jesus", rather, the son of God, and further identify the lineage of king david to his mother, mary. i agree with youup arms and die on foreign shores for the United States, but they are not permitted to vote for its president. Now a board elected by nobody, either in the United States or in Puerto Rico, will govern the island as a de facto collection agency for hedge funds and Wall Street speculators.

The 20th century opened with lavish promises for Puerto Ricans. On July 28, 1898, General Nelson Miles of the United States Army hoisted the Stars and Stripes atop the municipal flagpole in Ponce, on the southern coast of Puerto Rico, and told the island’s inhabitants that the United States had arrived “to bring you protection, not only to yourselves but to your property, to promote your prosperity…and to give…the advantages and blessings of enlightened civilization.”

The words


Rico. These expats then returned the favor, by delivering Allen a sugar kingdom.

With crippled farms, higher taxes, and 40 percent less cash than they had before, Puerto Rican farmers soon lost their land. By 1928, 80 percent of Puerto Rico’s sugar cane farms were US-owned; four US-owned cane syndicates covered over half the island’s arable acreage. The insular railroad systems, trolleys, and the San Juan seaport were also US-owned, along with much of the island’s infrastructure.

Thus, within one generation of the American occupation of the island, the promises to Puerto Rico regarding the protection of property, promotion of prosperity, and “blessings of enlightened civilization” were exposed as a complete sham. The financial control board is now the de facto government, banker, judge, jury, and executioner of Puerto Rico.

Thecrony capitalism of the early 1900s was quickly institutionalized by the US Congress. The Merchant Marine Act of 1920—also called the Jones Act—required that all ships delivering goods to Puerto Rico had to be built in the United States and owned by United States citizens. The Jones Act is a de facto price-fixing scheme which enables US corporations to charge up to 20 percent more for all goods sold on the island. Due to this scheme, the same car costs $6,000 more in San Juan than on the mainland. The scheme has made this tiny island, smaller than Connecticut, a captive consumer market for US products. There are more Walmarts and Walgreens per square mile in Puerto Rico, than anywhere else on the planet, all selling US goods

                      Opinion of the Court

        In March 2010, Locke, an investigative reporter for
N&O, became interested in the Green and Adams cases.
Locke interviewed plaintiff; Sutton; Whitehurst; Liam
Hendrikse, a firearms forensic scientist;        second amended complaint. On 14 March 2014, the trial
             court granted Neff, Drescher, and Riley’s motion for
             summary judgment but denied N&O, McClatchy, and
             Locke’s motion for summary judgment. On 4 April 2014,
             defendants gave timely notice of appeal.

       Defendants moved for JNOV or, in the alternative, for a new trial. On 30

January 2017, the trial court entered an amended order denying the motion.

Defendants appeal the order and judgment entered upon the jury verdict and the

order denying their motion for JNOV.

                 that what I just said is true with regard to the practice of
                 firearms identification, but one needs to put that also in a
                 systemic context because what I believe we had already

present generic assessments of errors, what types of errors

the blue wall. I can only address these areas generically.
       So I would not have any basis at all to make any
statement about someone’s proficiency in an area outside
of metallurgy material science and possibly legally, in the
legal community. But I would not make such a statement.
That’s not, I have no basis to make that statement.
