to many hierarchical levels, the speed of RIP processing using Adobe PDF Print Engine (APPE) or the like may be reduced or the RIP processing may be terminated due to an error. With the method of Document 1, it may be difficult to accurately obtain a predicted value of a conversion processing time for converting page group data because factors such as transparency effects and the nested relationship among page components are not taken into consideration. In addition, obtaining only a predicted value of the conversion processing time is insufficient for an operator to ascertain the appropriateness of page group data (also referred to as “plane group data”).We've been out for a couple of days now. What's the response been like?

Way better than we could have hoped for! We set out to make something that would be uplifting to play, that would make people smiling and happy. Did we achieve that? Here are some comments from players - judge for yourself!

I forgot I had a body.

POLYBIUS! I can't believe a game can make me feel such joy. Thank you @llamasoft_ox for an incredible experience!

Polybius is easily one of the best immersive PSVR showcases, alongside Rez Infinite, Thumper and SuperHyperCube - amazing work.

The difference between non-VR and VR modes is incredible - even the title screen is astonishing. @llamasoft_ox has found his ideal canvas :)

@llamasoft_ox what have you done to my brain?

@llamasoft_ox thx for providing such


re-interpretation of the legendary psychoactive arcade game Polybius.

After an encounter with the real thing (check out the story of a mysterious Basingstoke trip, some of which may or may not be true), and given the availability
of current state of the art VR technology we decided it was finally time to re-create this game .. with all the good, minus the bad. We're not out to brainwash you. But we do want to give you something that makes you feel good when you play, that takes you quickly and efficiently to "the zone" where everything flows and you feel uplifted and exhilarated.

For more details about the game, click here.. Or check it out for yourself - it'll be available on the PS store on the 9th May (US) and10 May (EU).

In this video I'll talk you through the game's first seven levels, explaining how things work.

Here are some quick screenshots, click on them to learn more about the game.

of the games, that voiced their ideas and opinions on what we were doing, that lived together with us what been going on in all those years.

Some people say our games are not "mainstream" because they are different. Yes, they are different but not everyone is the same in this world, we are what we are.

So why don't you take a closer look at what this "different" is and make your own mind ? It won't hurt you ;) You may find out why some people are still with us since 30 years.ballistic after that. With us. One day, when I was speaking at an event in the United States, a State Department official stood up from the audience. 'This is not true!' There was some intimidation, but I just looked at this person and didn't say much.

During that dark period when the Americans were very much in denial about climate change, John McCain was one of the rare leaders – and he happened to be a Republican – who was open to looking at these issues. 'We are the first generation to influence the climate and the last generation to escape the consequences,' McCain said. He and Hillary Clinton were probably the US Senators that were the most helpful to our work.

ethnic cleansing in Palestine

Since literally its first day, when the UN announced to the world that Palestine was relegated to history and Israel crafted as a Middle East extension of Europe, this state has flouted international law in its march of ethnic cleansing.

With mayhem its mantra even before its artificial declaration of statehood, Israel’s Zionist framers never blinked at the use of unbridled terror to obtain their goal. The bombing of the King David Hotel, in 1946, by the Irgun, a UK-designated terrorist organisation, took the life of 91 mostly civilians.

While this massacre and the assassination of UN mediator Folke Bernadotte, in Jerusalem in 1948, by the group Lehi, momentarily captured the eye of the world, little was known about the decade of horror that both Palestinians andbeen well recorded.

Not surprisingly, most killed or injured suffered gunshot wounds to the rear of their heads or backs. In the parlance of forensic science, these entry wounds are consistent not with attack but flight.

Civilian massacres are, of course, very much an essential part of the Israeli historical narrative. A walk down its memory lane shows an unbroken pattern of carnage perpetrated upon the most vulnerable of its enemies, real or imagined.

The 2008-2009 war on Gaza

In the winter of 2008-2009, Israel launched a massive assault on Gaza. Within the first 9 hours, it dropped more than 100 tonnes of explosives on the strip.

In the days to come, tens of thousands of its civilians were exposed to white phosphorous shells fired into crowded residential areas, not as incidental cover


spider," said Rod Crawford, curator of arachnids at the Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture in Seattle.

Spiders are blamed for all kinds of bites, bumps, rashes and growths that they likely had nothing to do with, according to Crawford. The myth that spiders tend to bite people when they least expect it — like when they're lying in bed — has been making the rounds for well over a hundred years, but it's not clear how it got started, he said.

Researchers like Lizzy Lowe study spiders with little to no fear of being bitten. (Image credit: Lizzy Lowe)

While it is certainly possible for spiders to bite people in bed, Crawford said this doesn't happen often. Unlike mosquitos or ticks, spiders don't feed on human blood, so theynot enforceable if

 TriStar Pictures, Inc. ("TriStar"), and Zorro Productions, Inc.'s ("ZPI") (collectively "Plaintiffs") Motion to Dismiss, for Summary Judgment, or to Strike came on regularly for a hearing before this Court on July 16, 2001. This case arises out of a dispute between Plaintiffs and Defendants about a television series, "Queen of Swords" ("QOS"). After considering the materials submitted by the parties, argument of counsel, and the case file, the Court GRANTS IN PART Defendants' Motion and Plaintiffs' Motion as described herein.

I. PROCEDURAL BACKGROUND
Plaintiffs filed their Complaint on January 24, 2001. Plaintiffs allege eight claims for relief: (1) infringement of Sony's copyright in the "Mask of Zorro;" ("MOZ") (3)[1] infringement of ZPI's copyright in the "Zorro: Men Aren't The Only Ones With Dual Identities" comic book; (4) infringement of ZPI's


same day, Defendants answered Plaintiffs' Complaint and asserted fifteen affirmative defenses. Of the fifteen affirmative defenses, only the second through fifth are presently at issue. Those defenses are: (2) the copyrights alleged in the Complaint are invalid and unenforceable, both generally and specifically as to Defendants' QOS; (3) the trademarks and service marks alleged in the Complaint are invalid and unenforceable both generally and specifically as to Defendants' QOS; (4) the "Zorro" character is not owned by Plaintiffs or any of them; and, (5) the "Zorro" character is in the public domain.
On May 25, 2001, Defendants filed a Motion for Summary Judgment or Summary Adjudication on Plaintiffs' claims. Plaintiffs filed a Motion to Dismiss Defendants' first and third counter-claims, for Summary Judgment on Defendants' second, third, fourth, anddissection requires the court to separate unprotectable facts and ideas from potentially protectable expressions." Smart Inventions, 94 F.Supp.2d at 1065-66; see Apple Computer, 35 F.3d at 1443.[9] Second, "the court must then apply the relevant limiting doctrines in the context of the particular medium involved, through the eyes of the ordinary consumer of that product." Apple Computer, 35 F.3d at 1443. These "limiting doctrines" include the "merger" *1158 and "scenes a faire"[10] doctrines. Id. at 1444. Finally, "[h]aving dissected the alleged similarities and considered the range of possible expression, the court must define the scope of the plaintiff's copyright that is, decide whether the work is entitled to `broad' or `thin' protection." Id. at 1443. This "scope of protection" sets the appropriate standard for a subjective comparison of


QOS "engage in highly sensual swordplay with their male antagonists," understates the constant, blatant sexual overtones to LR's actions and overstates by far the occasional, playful sensual undertones to QOS's actions. In fact, Plaintiffs' comparison comes close to misrepresentation of both characters.

(ii) Scarlett Fever-Mary Rose
The Court similarly finds that no reasonable jury could find substantial similarity between LR's Scarlett Fever and QOS's Mary Rose. Apart from the fact that they are both sword-wielding sea-women, another unprotectable idea, they are quite dissimilar. Scarlett Fever is a ruthless pirate, about LR's age, who has an obsession with, and takes great pleasure in, killing her enemies by stabbing them with a gangrenous weapon. Her behavior and dialogue are sexually charged. Mary Rose, on the other hand, is a mercenary sea captainto recover for Defendants' alleged copying of MOZ.[25] The Copyright Act "grants rights `to reproduce the copyrighted work in copies,' `to prepare derivative works based on the copyrighted work,' `to distribute copies ... to the public,' and `to display the copyrighted work publicly.'" Id. (citations omitted). The Court finds that Plaintiffs' state law unfair competition claims are based solely on the rights equivalent to those protected by the federal copyright laws. Id. at 1213. In addition, MOZ is copyrighted; thus MOZ clearly falls within the "subject matter" of the Copyright Act.
The Court therefore finds that Plaintiffs' statutory and common law claims for unfair competition are preempted by the Copyright Act. The Court GRANTS summary judgment in favor of Defendants with respect to Plaintiffs' seventh and eighth claims for


violation of California Business and Professions Code sections 14330 (dilution) and 17200 (statutory unfair competition). Plaintiffs request summary judgment in their favor for various reasons on both claims. Defendants do not address in their Opposition how their section 14330 dilution claim survives Plaintiffs' Motion for summary judgment. The Court therefore DISMISSES WITHOUT LEAVE TO AMEND Defendants' counter-claim with respect to the section 14330 dilution allegation.
Defendants oppose summary judgment on their section 17200 allegation; however, the Court has determined on its own inquiry that Defendants' fourth counter-claim must be dismissed for lack of standing.[29] Standing is a threshold requirement in every federal case. Warth v. Seldin, 422 U.S. 490, 498, 95 S.Ct. 2197, 45 L.Ed.2d 343 (1975). "As an aspect of justiciability, the standing question is whether the plaintiffDefendants' Request for Judicial Notice, filed July 6, 2001.
[5]  The parties contest whether ZPI has an ownership interest in the character "Zorro." ZPI contends that it has such an interest, and it has presented evidence of the origin of that interest. Specifically, ZPI has presented evidence that on July 26, 1949, Johnston McCulley, the author of "The Curse of Capistrano," entered into an agreement with Mitchell Gertz which states, "McCulley hereby desires to sell, transfer and assign all rights, licenses and privileges of every kind and nature whatsoever in and to the use of the name `Zorro' and to the character `Zorro' in any and all fields except magazine serialization and book publishing subject to the option above referred to...." Paragraph 1 of that Agreement states that:

McCulley


any such similarities and finds none.
[15]  Plaintiffs' arguments regarding themes in QOS are somewhat contradictory. Plaintiffs argue that QOS has a theme of overcoming personal revenge when comparing it to MOZ, but argue the theme of taking violent personal revenge, when comparing QOS to LR.
[16]  The Court, however, is not convinced that the QOS could really be seeking revenge for her father's death because she was told he died in a horse riding accident. Although she does not accept this explanation as the truth, and she seeks to investigate the facts surrounding his death, she has not learned the truth of how he died in the episodes viewed so far.
[17]  The Court notes that Plaintiffs argue, "[b]oth QOS and LR involve young, female Spanish aristocratsmarks; (4) evidence of actual confusion; (5) marketing channels used; (6) type of goods and the degree of care likely to be exercised by the purchaser; (7) defendant's intent in selecting the mark; and, (8) likelihood of expansion of the product lines." AMF Inc. v. Sleekcraft Boats, 599 F.2d 341, 348-49 (9th Cir.1979).
[20]  Plaintiffs concede that they must establish secondary meaning in this case.
[21]  On their Motion for Preliminary Injunction, Plaintiffs asked the Court, in section (e) of their proposed preliminary injunction, to enjoin and restrain Defendants from:

imitating, copying, or making any other unauthorized use of any common law trademarks and trade dress associated with the distinctive "key art" advertising for the motion picture "The Mask of Zorro;" and/or all common law trademarks and trade dress


 The formality of an affidavit and a formal Rule 56(f) "motion" has not always been required. See, e.g., Garrett v. City & County of San Francisco, 818 F.2d 1515, 1518 (9th Cir. 1987) (considering an outstanding discovery motion enough to raise the issue). However, a district court may in its discretion deny a Rule 56(f) motion simply because the party opposing the motion for summary judgment has not complied with procedural formalities. See Brae Transp., Inc. v. Coopers & Lybrand, 790 F.2d 1439, 1443 (9th Cir.1986) ("Failure to comply with the requirements of Rule 56(f) is a proper ground for denying discovery and proceeding to summary judgment.").
[27]  The Court notes that Defendants do not appear to have requested leave to amend their Answer in connection withthe body of the carton itself, which is folded into various shapes to form the strengthening struts.
A carton for containing a partially assembled bicycle often requires more than one separate compartment to hold a main sub-assembly, and also to hold various bicycle parts or other contents, and to prevent them from migrating inside the container during shipping. The internal bracing provided has often been arranged to perform this separate compartment function. Most of the conventional cartons for holding structures such as partially assembled bicycles have used inserts for strengthening and for any padding constructs of the container. The separate inserts are commonly made from separate panels, which often are of the same type of corrugated sheet material used for the main container. As noted above, when more than


as inventory control).
Accordingly, it is a primary advantage of the present invention to provide a paperboard carton formed from a single unitary piece of corrugated sheet material. It is another advantage of the present invention to use a paperboard carton formed from a unitary piece that can be erected into a single integral package for shipping a partially assembled bicycle, or to ship some other size-restricted product. It is a further advantage of the present invention to use a paperboard carton formed from a unitary piece of sheet material that provides an internal divider within the erected carton, in which however, the divider is part of the unitary structure of the original carton blank. It is yet another advantage of the present invention to provide a carton withportion, this second tongue having a deformable area that is formed by perforated a fold lines, the deformable area also usable for holding packaged articles in place.
Each of the adjacent walls have a (vertical) scored fold line between them and are thereby foldable with respect to each other along these scored fold lines. In addition, each of the walls extend upward and downward to form top flaps and bottom flaps, separated by (horizontal) scored fold lines, in which these flaps form the top and bottom of the carton once fully erected. In a preferred embodiment, the flaps are separated from their respective associated walls by a co-linear (horizontal) scored fold line with respect to the carton blank""s appearance when it is laid out flat.

experimentally in settings involving charge-selective membranes \[[@B4-micromachines-10-00161],[@B5-micromachines-10-00161]\]. In similar systems, the full nonlinear response has been theoretically investigated via direct numerical simulations (DNS) \[[@B8-micromachines-10-00161],[@B9-micromachines-10-00161],[@B10-micromachines-10-00161],[@B11-micromachines-10-00161]\]. Typically, arrays of coherent vortical structures are observed to emerge near charge-selective surfaces. Beyond a threshold voltage, electroconvection is shown to lead to chaotic flows with structures involving a range of scales with broadbanded spectra \[[@B8-micromachines-10-00161],[@B12-micromachines-10-00161]\], and ultimately with self-similar structures analogous to turbulent flows (despite their zero Reynolds number) \[[@B13-micromachines-10-00161]\]. Investigation of such regimes requires DNS of the fully-coupled Poisson--Nernst--Planck and Stokes equations \[[@B10-micromachines-10-00161],[@B14-micromachines-10-00161]\] and often involves expensive calculations requiring parallel computing. Summaries of recent advances in the understanding of electroconvective instability in various applications are given by Chang et al. \[[@B15-micromachines-10-00161]\] and Nikonenko et al. \[[@B16-micromachines-10-00161],[@B17-micromachines-10-00161],[@B18-micromachines-10-00161]\].

All of the theoretical investigations of electroconvectiondistribution is not well predicted by the 1D model. At higher frequencies, variations of average salt are nearly indistinguishable from those of the corresponding 1D solutions. The RMS profiles of salt fluctuation in [Figure 8](#micromachines-10-00161-f008){ref-type="fig"}b provides clear distinction between strong and mild electroconvective instability. Near the electrode surface ($x_{2}/L \lesssim 0.05$), fluctuation levels are relatively high for all frequencies, regardless of whether there is electroconvection. However, strong electroconvective instability at ${\widetilde{\omega}}_{0} = 0.063$ maintains salt fluctuations higher than $40\%$ of its bulk concentration across the channel, while those at higher frequencies decay to zero at the centerline. The corresponding 1D solution at ${\widetilde{\omega}}_{0} = 0.063$ shows a similar decay of fluctuations toward the centerline. The results in [Figure 8](#micromachines-10-00161-f008){ref-type="fig"} show that electroconvective instability induced by external AC electric


$q^{''}$ is numerically differentiated in time to obtain *J*. At ${\widetilde{\omega}}_{0} = 1.571$ where the response of the electrolyte is essentially 1D and electrohydrodynamic coupling is negligible, current is nearly sinusoidal and closely follows that of the corresponding 1D simulation. However, the presence of electroconvective instability at ${\widetilde{\omega}}_{0} = 0.063$ increases the maximum *J* by a factor of two compared with the corresponding 1D setup, as can be seen in [Figure 14](#micromachines-10-00161-f014){ref-type="fig"}a. The wall-normal component of current density computed at the channel centerline is nearly identical to those computed at the electrode surface.

Following Olesen et al. \[[@B28-micromachines-10-00161]\], the overall cell impedance (or the generalized impedance) versus the AC oscillation frequency ${\widetilde{\omega}}_{0}$ is calculated to characterize the system-level response. For comparison with Olesen et al. \[[@B28-micromachines-10-00161]\], a series of1D simulations are conducted at $\epsilon = 5 \times 10^{- 4}$ and at applied AC voltages of $\Delta V = 50$ and 240. It should be noted that Olesen et al. \[[@B28-micromachines-10-00161]\] uses the half-channel height as a reference length and their maximum voltage drop $2V$ is equal to $\Delta V$ in the present study. Additionally, in Olesen et al. \[[@B28-micromachines-10-00161]\] a finite size Stern layer thickness ($\delta = 0.3$ in their notation) is used. However, in our reproduction of the 1D simulations, to be consistent with our 2D simulations, we do not include a Stern layer. Nevertheless, this has minimally changed the plots, as will be seen in [Figure 15](#micromachines-10-00161-f015){ref-type="fig"}.

[Figure 15](#micromachines-10-00161-f015){ref-type="fig"} compares the magnitude and phase angle of the overall cell impedance at applied voltages of $\Delta

No. 2,437,298 which teaches a simple fabric strip having a row of perforations coinciding with the bristles of a conventional flat comb. The fabric strip is pulled down to the base of the comb where it remains until it is time to clean the comb at which point it is pulled off taking the caught hair and debris with it. Similarly the 1977 Peilet U.S. Pat.

This past week was déjà vu time for everyone old enough to remember the Clarence Thomas-Anita Hill controversy. But in the midst of many striking parallels between the Senate Judiciary Committee hearings in 1991 and 2018, we have largely overlooked a very telling, quite ironic comment from Justice Thomas.

But first, some of the parallels.

Then, as today, there were two compelling stories.

Then, as today, there were two believable witnesses, a qualified male judge and a respected female professor.

Then, as today, there were charges of sexual impropriety.

Then, as today, there were concerns about political hit jobs.

Then, as today, the judge was a conservative nominated by a Republican president.

Then, as today, the woman was broughtneed to understand the pathological nature of how the organ injury arises. Drug overdose (for example paracetamol overdose) can induce multiple organ failure and a key mediator of paracetamol induced organ injury is the transcription factor c-Jun.
Deliberate or accidental overdose with paracetamol (also known as acetoaminophen—APAP) is the most common cause of poisoning in the United Kingdom. For example, around 1 person per day requires admission to the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh for treatment of a significant APAP overdose (unpublished data). However, only around 12% of admissions will develop any degree of organ injury and only around 50 patients per year from all of Scotland are referred to the Scottish Liver Transplant Unit with severe APAP—induced liver injury (unpublished data). APAP overdose is treated with a glutathione pro-drug


are common and as such it is desirable to reduce the length of NAC infusion.
Existing biomarkers of APAP-induced organ injury (for example serum alanine transaminase (ALT), international normalized ratio (INR) and creatinine) do not accurately detect or exclude injury until around 24 hours post-APAP ingestion. If we could detect or exclude injury earlier then we could reduce the number and/or length of hospital admissions.
The ability of eukaryotic cells to release components of their cell membrane was first described by Wolf in 1967 and eloquently termed ‘platelet dust’. Essentially all cell types release small membrane vesicles, today known as microparticles or exosomes, especially when the cells are activated or during apoptosis (George et al., 1982).
The urinary proteome is easier to investigate than blood and large amounts can be collected.and may give an indication of organ dysfunction. It should be noted, however, that urinary exosomes might reflect changes in circulating blood MPs as well as changes in kidney function. Therefore, urinary exosomal protein may represent a source of biomarkers for systemic disease. The ability to isolate and characterise urine exosomes may be the first step in identifying disease biomarkers.
It is among the objects of the present invention to obviate or mitigate the abovementioned problems with the prior art.

Let's put it this way: We've been spending a lot of time on Pinterest, searching the term "cabana." But, in truth, we don't even have a pool. That doesn't mean we can't dream, right? Amid exploring countless color-soaked boards, we knew we'd found the perfect combination of summery and beach chic when we caught wind of this fresh Spring '12 Moschino look. It's the ideal inspiration for our fantasy poolside chill chamber!

In October, spiders aren't terribly active, but in the warmer months, Knight hangs frames in his barn and waits until spiders make webs in the holes of the frames. To encourage web-weaving, Knight and his wife look for spider egg sacs throughout the season, and relocate those sacs to the frames.

After the spiders weave their webs, Knight explained he takes spray paint and sprays the webs white. Finally, in the most delicate step, he takesnot at liberty to assume anything that lead to the hospitalization of these young men but I can say that we did some pretty crazy shit behind closed doors but in the end, there was always progression and time allowed for adaptation.

On the other hand, you’re right, we always sent home a winter break manual that explained in explicit detail what they were to be doing while away from school. Once back, we would check to see who paid the piper but there are multiple ways to skin a cat.

Good piece John.

Ricky – the first block of training we did in college during winter conditioning was metabolic conditioning. We did 10 BS on the minute for 10 minutes then went to bench 10 for 10 and then RDLs.


worse, we were winning several games in the fourth quarter, only to collapse and lose games late, and some people blamed that on poor conditioning (especially on our defense). Add in the drug thing, and coaches had a lot to be pissed off about this post-season.

Ok, first of all, lets get the info straight. The original source was an Iowa Football player who said that he had to squat 240 lbs 100 times for time, which if I remember right from my Iowa playing days with Coach Doyle, the time limit is an hour to complete 100 reps. Now going off of that, it would be too extreme, and physiologically impossible for a 160 lb wide receiver freshman to do in an hour.

What the source forgot to beof the post, last week, non on this information was made public. But 13 players getting rhabdo might be a problem.

By the way “Johnnie”, on a full roster at any D1 major University, there are atleast 120 to 140 players on team. Now, every D1 school is allowed 85 scholarship players, so the rest are walk-ons, get your facts right.

It is easy for everyone to take stabs at the coaches who dont know or who have never experienced a D1 football setting during the off-season. good quote on the “Go Fuck Yourself” workouts. Looking back, not one workout that my coaches threw at me was a “Go Fuck Yourself” workout. Like many have stated before, and coming from the ones who have experienced it first hand,,,,,after having a


break, and coming off a bad season, its gut check time. Its competition time. Maybe this workout is too much for you. If you knew something about Rhabdo, you would know that there are many factors that lead to such a thing. I can guarantee that this was a planned event, with qualified supervision, and implemented with the utmost professionalism,,,nothing less.

here is a link: make sure you copy/past the whole thing.

A third of the way down you will see where coach ferentz touches on the subject.

In college I could not remember howExploiting Multisite Gateway and pENFRUIT plasmid collection for fruit genetic engineering.
MultiSite Gateway cloning techniques based on homologous recombination facilitate the combinatorial assembly of basic genetic pieces (i.e., promoters, CDS, and terminators) into gene expression or gene silencing cassettes. pENFRUIT is a collection of MultiSite Triple Gateway Entry vectors dedicated to genetic engineering in fruits. It comprises a number of fruit-operating promoters as well as C-terminal tags adapted to the Gateway standard. In this way, flanking regulatory/labeling sequences can be easily Gateway-assembled with a given gene of interest for its ectopic expression or silencing in fruits. The resulting gene constructs can be analyzed in stable transgenic plants or in transient expression assays, the latter allowing fast testing of the increasing number of combinations arising from MultiSite methodology.

through the enhanced stimulation of the child, the parent. Parents themselves visit the center, so that there is also stimulation of the parent-child relationship that lasts long after the program itself is formally ended at age 5.

This kind of comprehensive program is more costly upfront?

For sure. The main benefit of this study is, if you count all of the benefits that accrue from this program in terms of reduced health care costs, reduced crime, greater earnings, more education, higher IQ — the list is quite long. Those all are monetized. We can compute a rate of return, the dividend would be from the investment. You get about 13 percent per annum. Much higher than the annual return on equities in the U.S. stock market post-Second World War throughwho did not participate in the study. That came as a surprise to some people, but it shouldn't be a surprise. Not only did they get the health screening, but they also developed these social and emotional skills: self-control, the ability to monitor. They had more education, therefore they had more information. In a number of ways these children became more engaged, control their own lives better, and that shows up in their adult health.

What is turning out from this body of research is that promoting engagement of children, their cognitive and noncognitive skills, boosting their IQs, at the same time boosting their social engagement, their willingness to participate in society, monitoring their health from an early age, is having huge benefits downstream for the rest of their


It's the engagement. It's "Johnny or Sally, here let's look at this together, let's go to the zoo, let's look at this book, let's see what we're doing." It's that engagement. When you engage the parent in that process, you help them bolster their arrangement, then I think you actually will keep in place over the life of the child a very strong very beneficial environment. The center core is engagement. That's what good teaching's about too when you think about it.

I don't think I'm saying anything that's revolutionary, but I do think I'm saying something that is frequently ignored in public policy. We think about a bricks-and-mortar approach to what education is about. That's exactly the wrong way to think about it. It's not a teacher lecturingQ:

A previously undescribed deficiency of the posterior cricoid at the midline, wherein the mucosa overlying this deficiency is intact, is described. Clinically this presents as a variety of subglottic stenoses wherein the narrowing is primarily in the transverse subglottic diameter; the symptoms are, therefore, those of airway obstruction not laryngeal incompetence. It is suggested that this deformity has been previously overlooked by laryngologists and pathologists by virtue of a postmortem routine in which the larynx is routinely split in the posterior midline. Demonstration in these cases was by serial horizontal section of the intact, unsplit, whole larynx.

The difference between this and other programs is that they seem to use


you start a game in single player mode, save and load then restart several times the replay files don't have the headers written properly which suggests they are streamed rather than written as one at game end.

BTW I think your idea is great I think it would be better though if you didnt have to press a key to confirm that you have performed the task. Looks interestingThe difference between this and other programs is that they seem to use the replay file to get their data.You seem to be hooking into the keyboard ... I guess this is done by simply polling the interrupt rather than having to read game memory?

IT’S not easy being the emissary from the digital world in Amish country.

For two weeks this summer, Jessica Best, a 22-year-old journalist from Wales, fell into that role as the intern at The Budget of Sugarcreek, Ohio, a weekly that is the largest newspaper serving the Amish.

Her self-assigned task, supported by a traveling scholarship from the Welsh Livery Guild, was to study The Budget’s transition to the Internet and the willingness of the Amish to accept that transition. It led, she said, to many a friendly, if awkward, conversation, some of which she chronicled in a blog written from Sugarcreek.

There was the Amish man where she was a houseguest who asked her what an “ip-id” was. “He had read about an iPod,” she explained. “I wish I hadThe FBI’s reports linked to Hillary Clinton’s role in the death of Vince Foster, a White House counsel and her friend, have allegedly gone missing. A journalistic investigation says it could be Clinton’s humiliation that pushed Foster to suicide.

According to Daily Mail, documents containing interviews of Clinton conducted after Foster’s death in July 1993 have vanished from the National Archives.

The report claims that author and journalist Ronald Kessler visited the National Archives and Records Service in College Park, Maryland multiple times to review the reports submitted by FBI agents investigating Foster’s suicide.

2014 driver plans are up in the air at the moment, and Whitmarsh has suggested that a driver deal could be a factor in its discussions to extend a technical partnership it has had with the Silverstone-based outfit.

"They want to extend, but we haven't agreed to that," he said.

"But at the same time, I don't want leverage. One way or another we will find a way."

The other possibility could be for McLaren to risk promoting one of their drivers to its team next season, if it is not convinced by Sergio Perez.

Whitmarsh thinks that the lack of pre-season testing currently available in F1, however, means it may be too tall a task.

"I think it is a risk for them and for us," he said.

evolutionary theory and underlying sensorimotor processes, dating back to his lucid descriptions of animals lower on the vertebrate scale (i.e., salamanders and lower fishes) as having a nervous system concerned primarily with motor activity, with sensation and perception largely serving the guidance of responses. Sperry further suggested that this should be similar in man, given that the operating principles are fundamentally the same, and that "Cerebration, essentially, serves to bring into motor behavior additional refinement, increased direction toward distant, future goals, and greater over-all adaptiveness and survival value" (Sperry, [@B91], p. 299). While I also embrace this view, I would further clarify his reference to "cerebration" as *cortical-subcortical networks and circuits*, emphasizing research from more recent decades which I will argue, strongly implicates subcortical interactions as essential tothumb on the same hand, even with a 5-s delay following the tactile stimulation, but could not cross-locate such points with either hand to the other despite his ability to locate points stimulated on the head, face, and upper neck with either hand (suggesting bilateral wiring of the involved systems in the latter cases). He could produce tapping movements with each hand after being tapped on that same hand by an experimenter, although when tapped on one hand he could not always copy by producing the number of taps with the opposite hand (Gazzaniga et al., [@B41], [@B42]). Those findings further pointed to a lateralization of both input and output of the distal manual extremities, with each cerebral hemisphere receiving primary input from the contralateral hand/fingers, owning some


the speech center, at least in the typical case of the majority of people who are right-handed (and the present review refers primarily to the typical case). While some manual responses could be made to information in the right hemisphere, speech responses could not, leading to the conclusion that the right hemisphere might have a level of awareness of its contents and can make responses as long as they are not via the disconnected speech hemisphere.

A complementary type of function was described by Levy et al. ([@B66]), with the left hand showing clear problems in producing responses to verbal commands, although when presented with non-verbal aides, the left hand was later able to learn to respond appropriately (but findings were not always consistent), and marked difficulty in makingwith commissurotomy), consistent with some evidence in Kreuter et al. ([@B64]) described above, again illustrating a response dependency. Moreover, according to Teng and Sperry ([@B99]) other experiments revealed that even when presenting stimuli to the right hemisphere 20 ms ahead of the left hemisphere, or forcing participants to respond to the stimulus in the right hemisphere first, such extinction persisted. The authors also pointed out that when presented with other types of stimuli, such as pictures or spatially aligned letters in a row across midline (as opposed to single letters), there was less evidence of extinction in the right hemisphere, although some evidence of continuous suppression of the right hemisphere has also been shown (Teng and Sperry, [@B99]).

According to Kreuter et al. ([@B64]) one hemisphere appears to withdraw attention


attention occurs between the hemispheres. However, in some circumstances a switching model might be less likely to hold. For example, switching is inconsistent with the observed phase differences between hands on the circle-drawing task (Franz, [@B25]) and might be viewed as counterproductive in terms of economy of processing (Franz and McCormick, [@B33]), particularly given the wealth of literature demonstrating high costs in rapid switching between tasks even in neurologically normal participants (Hayes et al., [@B50]; Shook et al., [@B87]; Franz, [@B28]) although those studies did not employ specific interhemispheric manipulations. We have argued that the task, situation, and hemisphere specializations determine which hemisphere is dominant at the time (Franz, [@B26], [@B29]) and as the evidence suggests, such dominance can be exerted in a prolonged manner in neurologically normalaction." Other evidence from Franz and Miller ([@B34]) revealed impairments related to inhibition, with inappropriate levels of force occurring in people with Parkinson's disease, for example, in the hand that was not supposed to respond on a trial, which seems to be the flip-side of activation, fitting well with the framework of Mink ([@B70]) in which the direct circuit increases activation whereas the indirect circuit increases activity in the opposite direction (inhibition). Thus, the proposed Level 2 of the framework described herein is characterized by rudimentary processes of activation and inhibition of action-effects perceptual codes ranging from elemental ones (as in the case of Franz and Miller, [@B34]), to those making up perceptual sets (Shook et al., [@B87]) and other more complex associations (Franz, [@B28]). Activation and inhibition


(Franz, [@B29]; Franz and McCormick, [@B33]). We can easily confirm this basic model by asking ourselves after the fact of learning -- "what did I just do?" The answer -- "I threaded a needle." The elemental responses used in that well-learned action are not what we tend to recall unless specifically asked to, and even then, it takes quite a lot of effortful and imagery-laden processing to do so.

Distinguishing Bilateral Projections of Sensory and Motor Input-Output Systems from the Subcortical System Proposed Herein
==========================================================================================================================

Gazzaniga and Sperry ([@B45]) noted that "The disruption of interhemispheric integration produces remarkably little disturbance in ordinary daily behavior, temperament, or intellect. The functional deficits tend to be compensated by the development of bilateral motor control from each hemisphere, also by bilaterality in some of thecan influence other neural areas in complex ways (including bilaterally), and the thalamus feeds back information to the striatum, thereby further influencing that system. However, as those researchers also state, it is not yet known precisely how the basal ganglia circuitry influences neural activity bilaterally, nor which precise circuits are involved. The hope (and prediction) is that future research will further elucidate the precise bilateral projections involved. Interestingly also, the neuroanatomical findings reveal a hierarchical structure of the basal ganglia system (references above), consistent to what is described herein.

Evidence of Very High Level Constraints Derived from Our Social Interactions
============================================================================

We have learned from experimentation on the split-brain, that the capacity for focused attention is limited although unified (Kreuter et al., [@B64]) even though responses can be lateralized, although it


and down and waving like he hadn't seen me in years, clutching a messy two–inch binder that resembled the operations manual for a Naval GPS system.

This is my world. I didn't quite choose it, it was there long before I came along, but it's mine now.

And damn it, I could use a break.

## KEN

Allow me to introduce myself. I am Kenneth Greevey, a student at Northwest High School where I have maintained a 4.0 GPA every semester save one. Mandatory practical arts classes are a cruel joke. I partake in few extracurricular activities, preferring to use my free time to socialize with my friends, enjoy a vintage video game, or build my collection of books. Oh, but I will not bore you with the details of my lifeSome may argue that I am out of shape, but I feel that this is fallacious.

I caught up with Paul at his locker. "I have a few candidates in mind, but I wanted to run these names past you, get a little feedback."

"Sure. Run those names past me and..."

Paul froze in mid–sentence. I followed his gaze and immediately knew why. The library doors stood open, and Aaron Baines Bellamy was walking out.

"Morning, Paul," he said with a smile. In nature, animals smile to show their teeth.

"Hello, Aaron," said Paul. He was visibly anxious.

"You doing Trivia Master this year?" said Aaron.

"We do Trivia Master every year," said Paul.

Aaron showed us his teeth again. "Good. It's going to be quite a year, you know. I'm glad to know that you're


to amaze me. "You know, anyone you think might like to team with us. Hey, maybe we can even make it past the quarters this year, huh?"

Isabel isn't as subtle as she thinks she is. I don't know why, but this year she definitely wants to win. It was strange because she never really cared before, but I really didn't care why she cared. My friends ask to be on my team all the time, but they always lose out to Isabel's people. It's hard to overlook her motives, whatever they are, but I was willing to do it.

And then, she said something that made it extra hard to overlook her motives: "Maybe you'd even like to bring Paul on board?"

"You're kidding."

I haven't mentioned Paul Liston yet, haveto leave, and not a moment too soon. "Hey, Aaron, want to trade numbers? I got Brian's but not yours."

"That's okay, Sid, I deal with all the team stuff," said Brian. I don't know if he sensed that I was getting irritated or if he just wanted another excuse to fawn like some starstruck sixth–grade girl. "I'll call you later, all right?"

"All right. Talk to you later, my man. And nice to meet you." Sid shot me some goofy little finger gun, and then he was gone.

Then it was just Brian and me, and I could already sense that he wanted to talk strategy. Brian can't seem to get it through his head that I don't care about strategy. That's his fixation, not mine. It's not like I


honest and just in general the kind of person you'd want for something like this. But lately, she's been acting really squirrelly lately. Anyone so much as looks at her, she makes herself scarce and you don't see her for the rest of the day. If it was anyone else, I'd blame it on a guilty conscience, but Clarice? What's the worst thing that she could have possibly done? Maybe she just has bad nerves or something. In any case, it was obvious that I wasn't getting her.

My other choice was someone from years back, a girl by the name of Karen Schumaker who had asked me to be on her team back when we were freshmen. Weird as it sounds, I always felt a little bad aboutit could get any more awkward than that meeting with Jane. I was horribly wrong.

"I'm sorry," I said, and I walked away, with as much calmness as I could muster.

This was a turning point for me. A lot of people had told me that it was going to be a "big year." At that moment, I realized just how big. It was bigger than I could handle, and too big to stop.

## AARON

God, the end of the week couldn't come fast enough. Those five days were one long root canal as far as I'm concerned. All the sound and fury over trivia mania definitely added to that, but every week is way too long. High school is such a waste of my time. Why do I even bother?


out quicker. You ever been here?"

"Oh no," said Karen. "I'm just not that adventurous."

"It's nothing strange like that, I just never order off the menu. You get the best service when you know what you're doing." Isabel looked over at Hannah for this next part. "Of course, it's probably not as good as what you're used to."

"Goddamn it, Izzy," I said under my breath. I wonder if I've embarrassed Isabel in front of her friends like she did in front of mine.

Isabel had actually landed us a small room apart from the main dining area. That would be a bigger deal someplace like New York City, I suppose, but I was impressed. It was important to have a little peace and quiet, because Isabel and I had tobetween noon on Monday and noon on Wednesday. Doing this makes the team eligible for the entry test, which determines who will go on to compete in the preliminary rounds of the tournament.

Although registration is open for three days, over half of all teams register on the first day. The reasons for this vary from team to team, but the consistent explanation is a fear of poaching by competitors. Teams may be decided on handshake agreements the week before, but officially none of these teams actually exist until the form is filed and the names written into the record. During this period, any team can persuade a competitor to depart from his or her own team, leaving the original team with an unfortunate gap. Many teams are still


forming during this period, so this is a definite risk. In fact, I have heard that in years past – when most teams filed at the last moment on Wednesday – some less scrupulous teams used this as a tactic. They would draw away the weakest member of a strong team, disqualifying his or her teammates unless they could find a fourth member on very short notice.

This seldom happens anymore, but registration is still vulnerable to various forms of chicanery. The simplest dirty trick is forging an individual's signature. Few teenagers have the skill to accurately replicate a person's handwriting, but even fewer administrators have training as forensic document examiners. In cases where there is some conflict between applications, the office rarely goes to the effort of seekingknow."

"Oh, don't even try it. You're forgetting that I know better than anyone how you operate. Aaron Bellamy plays dirty from the jump. And I don't have to put up with it."

I turned to leave, but Aaron kept on talking. "And of course, Paul Liston only uses good, clean tactics like splitting up two very old friends."

I stopped dead and spun around. "I didn't do anything!"

"Oh no?" He stood up and approached me. Aaron is a good two inches shorter than me, but he can be intimidating in his own way. "So that wasn't you talking to dear old friends Duncan and Trevor? I understand that after you spoke, they went their separate ways."

"Are you having me followed?"

"You must think a lot of yourself to imagine that you're


you here? Something to do with Trivia Master, I assume?"

"I'm not that single minded, Jane. Actually, I was hoping you might make a little delivery for me." It was then I noticed Aaron was holding a sealed envelope. "I'm sure you'll run into the recipient, if you wouldn't mind handing this off."

I took the envelope out of his hand. "'To Miss Morelli, my queen.' Cute. A little old–school, isn't it?"

"I have an old soul."

I took a moment to examine the envelope – always a wise idea when Aaron is involved. If it was going to Isabel, then it probably wasn't blackmail. And this was at least a lot more low–key than his usual efforts. At least it didn't involve literal fireworks. Still, I had no interest in doingprice. Apparently no one's aware that Davis is down there, because it would be an invitation for everyone to cheat if it were widely known.

"You Aaron Bellamy?" Davis has the distinct look and mannerisms of a liar. I can't believe that they trust him to handle this.

"No time for introductions today." I passed him a ten–dollar bill. Davis may well be the cheapest Benedict Arnold who ever lived. "Let's get to it."

He slipped the bill into his wallet. "Well, we're all ready to go, then." He set a disc on the table in front of me. "Burned this just before you came in."

"Put it on the computer so I can see the files."

"You don't trust me?"

"No, I don't."

"All right, fair enough." He put the disc on one of


one stone here. "Hey, are you doing Trivia Master?"

She stares blankly. "No, I never do that."

"And, you're down here every day?"

"Just Thursdays and Fridays. Why?"

"I might have a favor to ask. There's twenty bucks in it if you can help me."

"It's nothing weird, is it?"

"Not at all. I just need you to deliver something for me. Stick around, I'll tell you what I need after I'm done here."

Everything went like clockwork. In a few days, Paul is going to get the surprise of his life.

## KEN

Northwest High enrolls over six hundred students every year. Of those students, almost two hundred will sign up for Trivia Master. This adds up to approximately fifty teams. There are sixteen slots, so two–thirds of these teams will have to be dismissed beforenear the reference desk. I figure that's where they're keeping the test, so we'll know exactly when it comes out."

"Nice." Paul was scanning the crowd, looking for anything of note. He would never admit this, but I think he likes this part as much as me. "So...you pick up anything interesting out here?"

"Plenty. Remember the Speed Bumps from last year?"

Paul groaned. "Don't tell me Richie's fielding the Speed Bumps again?"

"Almost. He brought in Sally Kay."

"Like that'll make a difference. If they clear the prelims, I'll be shocked." Paul looked around the hallway, spotting Duncan Washington in the crowd. "I see Duncan found a team."

"Sure he did, and it's a decent roster. They'll get to the quarters for sure. I told you, man, it's all okay."

"I guess. You see


goes as predicted, Aaron will have his wish of a climactic battle in the winner's circle. The school has been eagerly anticipating this for years now. It is very theatrical – the two bitter rivals, fighting and clawing for the chance to see whose skill is the greater. Behind the scenes, it is much less pleasant, and I can barely reckon what fresh horrors are yet to come.

Already, this is affecting the school in ways that I had never anticipated. With most people assuming that the final match will be our team and theirs, the student body is taking sides. Most of the football team is aligned with Paul, while basketball and baseball players favor Aaron. The math league prefers Aaron, except for those who are also inthat we're up against Paul's team and then Aaron. How are they the easy ones?"

"I'm not worried."

"Everyone's going on about the big rivalry in the final. We've got a few people pulling for us, but not as many as they do."

"Oh, they're not so tough. Let 'em chew on each other for a while, they'll both snap from the pressure and we'll brush them aside."

Now, I've never seen Isabel this confident about anything school–related, so there was no way I was letting this pass. "You know, Aaron plays dirty. Real dirty. I mean, who knows what he'll try if it looks like we might beat Paul."

"Yeah, yeah, don't sweat it. I've got some plans of my own. Just trust me on this. Oh, I gotta get going. Later,


natural, or is it a little sick?

## PAUL

The Trivia Master preliminary week is long and very boring. You play one match, there's no audience, and after that there's nothing to do until the next week. The school administrators do what they can to speed it up – running two quiet little matches every day from Tuesday to Friday, getting everything out of the way without much fuss. For participants, though, it's just more waiting.

I guess that's why I decided to speak with Edward Page. But I'm getting ahead of myself.

The first round of prelims on Tuesday ended predictably, with triumphs by the Valkyries and Flying Brains. Ken was about ready to break in to the auditorium during the Brains round, but I was able to talk him outthe same passion. My first thought is to spend that last quiet weekend relaxing at home, doing the things I can't do when I'm busy with trivia. Over the years, we've come to a bit of a truce on this, and I think Ken has even come around to my way of thinking, at least a little bit. We always take a few hours to do something that has nothing to do with Trivia Master.

This year's trivia free weekend started in Oscar's Pizza for lunch. It was well past noon and Ken was late. That was curious, as he's probably the most punctual person I've ever met, at least when he wants to be someplace – and even trivia comes in second to pizza on Ken's list of


the sensations, the raw energy that surrounds the event. To truly understand what is to come, you would have to ride inside my head and feel it all for yourself.

Pardon me, I am rambling a bit. My point is, this is a very special event for those of us who participate in it. I merely wish to make it clear what a challenge it can be to explain, in our inadequate human languages, just how significant this is. I hope that you can forgive me my flights of fancy.

This is not the first round – that was conducted a few hours before. The Valkyries triumphed by 260 points to 180, an effortless victory. They will be our first true challenge. The quarterfinal is but a warm–up.

That is notI said.

"Even the stuff Edward wrote?"

"Yes, I read what he wrote. I talked with him for that piece."

"Why did you do that?" Brian was angry – first time I remember hearing any genuine emotion in his voice.

"Did what? All I did was tell him not to listen to those rumors about everyone cheating. Not like he even used any of my quotes."

"That's not the point!" I could feel the spray from Brian's fat mouth as he harangued me with that angry screech of his. "You know how he writes, he tries to turn everything into some big dramatic story. He could have twisted what you said into whatever he wanted."

"Paul and Ken were talking to him, I wasn't about to let their side be the only one."

"You should


tells me he probably has as many supporters as me. Aaron pretends that he doesn't care, but I know he relishes in the attention – it's just one more way that he proves his dominance. He always struts a little as he takes to the stage, throwing a little flourish or a gesture as he takes his seat. Of course, once he's seated, it's all business...or so I thought until that very moment. Just the slightest trace of a smile came across his face, and for a moment I could swear he was looking directly at me. Of course, it's pretty dark in the house, and the audience is pretty far back. You really can't see anyone from the stage. I guess all of this competition is makingskipping this afternoon's round."

"Why? I like watching the rounds."

"Team meeting. I cleared us a room, got permission and everything."

"Team meeting? Are you joking?"

"Hey, these next two rounds are going to be brutal. If we don't hone our skill, we might lose."

"Yeah, well, that's a risk I'm willing to take. You know I never miss a round."

"Yeah, yeah, 'brotherhood of all nerds' and all that. You've told me." Ken could be a snarky bastard when he needed to. "What's there to even see? It's not a major round. We know that the Brains will beat whoever wins this afternoon."

"You don't even watch your new friend compete?"

"Oh, shit." Ken stopped and lapsed into a brief period of personal conflict. "...No, this is more important. We need to have this meeting."

"Fine,


and walking to the third floor. Scott, who was in the same class, came with me.

"It was a mistake having any sort of meeting up here," he said.

"I'm sure he wanted the gifted room, but they watch that place really close during the tournament."

"I just hope there's no one smoking up here."

"Smoking?"

Scott grinned. "You never noticed the smell?"

"Uh, I noticed an odor."

"God, you're so innocent."

Trevor was waiting in the hall when we got there. Ken was conspicuously absent.

"So where's Ken?" I asked Trevor.

"Said he had something to do and took off." he replied.

"How long you been waiting?" said Scott.

"I don't know, eight minutes?" said Trevor.

Scott sighed. "Really glad I hitched my wagon to Ken Greevey's star." He leaned back against the wall and looked at me. "What's hisno," said Scott. "His reaction was way too emotional. At that age, the only thing that would get a kid that emotional is a crush. Maybe he thought you stole a girl from him?"

"Me?" It wasn't a thought that had ever occurred to me, for obvious reasons.

"I'm not saying it's logical," continued Scott. "If he saw you talking to a girl he liked, that could be enough."

"Who does he even like?" said Trevor.

"Besides himself, you mean?" said Ken.

"Pretty sure he has a thing for Isabel Morelli," I said. "She's always hated me, so I doubt it's that."

"Quite the mystery, indeed." Trevor picked up his things. "Look, is it all right with you guys if I just take off? I have some things to do today."

"But we haven't watched


soul found it and sounded the alarm – and, for that matter, before Aaron discovered it and became more suspicious than he already was. I would have, at most, an hour before the risk became too great. There was only one time that would work – the fourth quarterfinal round, when all eyes would turn towards the competitors and Aaron would have free reign of the halls. This is when he would plan and execute his own plot, and I would have a record with which to expose or defeat it.

My own plan was foolproof. I simply failed to grasp the identity of the fiend. I had never predicted that I would overhear a scheme by Isabel Morelli and Jane Anders. As their voices emerged from the agedto perk up immediately. "Hey, buddy!" he said in an exaggeratedly cheerful voice. "That was quite a round!"

"Thanks." He looked at me. "And you would be Paul Liston, correct?"

"Yeah, I'm Paul. Leon, right?" Leon extended his hand, which I shook with some trepidation. "That was really an impressive victory."

"Thanks, it was a good round," said Leon. "Sorry if I was interrupting anything."

"Not at all!" chimed in Ken. "We were just killing time, right Paul?"

"Yeah, we're not doing anything important here," I said.

"Good," said Leon. "There was just something I wanted to ask real quick. Paul, are you busy this evening?"

"This evening?" I said. "I don't think so...I'll check, but I should be open. Why?"

"Well, we're new in town, and I've already spent some time with Ken, but other


scared. From the second I saw Leon on stage, I just knew that we were going to lose. I just knew that everything I've put into this – the studying, the planning, the hours of analysis, the late nights training myself – was going to amount to nothing. I'm a hornet trying to kill a giant, a fool trying to bust through a concrete wall with my forehead.

I tried to be good and wait for a call or email, but I was going crazy sitting in my room. So I went out for a walk and ended up outside of Paul's building. Okay, I didn't "end up" there, that's where I was headed. I needed the face–to–face communication.

It was around 7:00 when the bus pulled up. The suntalk strategy. I've been running the numbers and –"

"Ken, please," interrupted Paul. "I think you need to come to grips with the fact that we're probably going to lose tomorrow."

"What, you're giving up? Throwing in the towel?"

"That's not what I'm saying. I'll give it all I have, okay? One hundred percent. But I don't think that's going to be enough. We're going to lose, and you really need to accept that."

I almost slapped him across the face. Instead, I just yelled. "No! I don't accept that! I do not accept that we could get this far only to drop at the finish line!"

"You think I'm happy with this?" I could tell that Paul was as frustrated as me. "I don't want to lose, I'm being realistic!"

"You're being fatalistic!


took a seat on the edge of the stage. "Come on, be honest. Because if you don't think you're going to win, there's no need to even be here."

"Well, of course I think I could win," I said. "I'm smart enough to win, but there's no way to know until it starts. That's what it makes it exciting, right?"

"Thanks. That's all I needed to know."

I didn't feel like leaving anymore. There was something strange going on, and I wanted to figure it out. "Okay, what's going on here? What do you mean 'all you needed to know'?"

"It's just that I've heard that a lot. 'I could win.' 'I'm smart enough.' I bet you're the fifth...no, the sixth person to tell me that. But it's a lie. You're expectingbe the 'smart kid.' 'The other kids tease me.' 'The girl I'm infatuated with won't go out with me.' 'I can't believe a superior being like me is stuck here.' Meanwhile, everyone else is just trying to get to the end of the day without flunking out. Not you, though. You don't have to fight for any of it, you just sail right through."

"Okay, stop right there!" I got in Leon's face. "That's where you're wrong. I worked damn hard to get where I am."

"Oh, please, Paul. Did you ever get stuck on a test? Did you ever bust your ass all weekend trying to finish up just your regular homework? Did you ever sweat over your grade card because you honestly didn't know what you were going


I almost told him what had gone down with Isabel, but I bit my tongue. "...I've heard stories about that."

"Yeah, it's a shitty situation." Duncan gathered up his things. "You're watching the match, right?"

"Isn't everyone?"

"Cool." Duncan looked up and down the hall. "Looks like I'm cutting by default. Think I'll go find Trevor."

"I'm sure he needs the company."

"You wanna come with? No one's turning up to class."

"Eh..." I've never willingly skipped a class, not even on skip day. But what the hell is life for, anyway? No one stays a parent's dream forever. "...I should go find Isabel. She's probably down in the crowd, taking pictures of herself with everyone."

"She can't be that shallow."

"Well, one way to find out..." I pulled out my phone. "...And she is. Maybeodds are not much better than mine, though I would be a fool to shatter his confidence by saying this aloud. He certainly does not require any more stress than has already been placed on his shoulders.

And the tension here has reached new heights. My focus on victory had grown so tight that I failed to notice a blurb about our competition on the website of Aukland's Unofficial. As a result, agents from several publications and leagues have come to Solace in hopes of seeing the public premiere of the next scion of the Mara clan. There will be important eyes on us today, and even more awaiting the footage which will no doubt be journeying across the digital void within minutes of the round's termination.

correct as well. Your wager?...Fifty points to the Nerds. The game is now tied."

Again, the audience rumbles with activity. No one expected it would be this close. I certainly didn't.

Mr. Laubhan tries to regain control. "All right, let's have quiet, please. Before we begin the second round, I would like to remind all contestants that you must wait until your name and team are called before answering. I understand that you are eager, but this will make scorekeeping easier and quicker. All right, question one: Once known as Constantinople..."

"Istanbul."

That's what it's like now – just questions and answers and motion. We're ignoring the rules but Mr. Laubhan isn't even bothering to reign us in. Leon and I keep throwing out answersAg+ ions were reduced to form metallic deposits as Ag0 crystals on the cathode surface, which were then confirmed by scanning electron microscope (SEM) image and energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectrum. The BES reactor had high silver removal (i.e., >96%) after 24 h of operation. When considering the crossover of Ag+ ions through the cation exchange membrane, the removal was in the range of 83.73-92.51%. This crossover was not considerable as compared to the Ag+ initial concentration. At higher initial Ag+ concentration (2000 mg/L), the silver removal decreased to 88.61% and the maximum power density decreased to 5396 mW/m3. This study clearly showed that BES can be employed for silver recovery, wastewater treatment, and also electricity generation.

Exonerated inmate won't get $14M

WASHINGTON  A divided U.S. Supreme Court made it more difficult to sue local prosecutors' offices for wrongdoing on Tuesday, overturning a $14 million verdict for a New Orleans man who came within weeks of being executed for a murder he did not commit.

The man, John Thompson, was convicted of a 1984 murder and a separate carjacking. He was set free 18 years later after his lawyers discovered that the prosecutors in charge of his trial had deliberately concealed evidence — a blood sample and police lab report — that could have proved his innocence. Prosecutors have a constitutional duty to disclose such evidence.

Writing for the court's 5-4 majority, Justice Clarence Thomas said that Thompson could not show that the New Orleans district attorneyAccuracy for Dummies, Part 6: Obtusity

Last time we saw that the set of probability assignments is convex. Today we’re going to show that convex sets have a special sort of “obtuse” relationship with outsiders. Given a point outside a convex set, there is always a point in the set that forms a right-or-obtuse angle with it.

Recall our 2D diagram from the first post. The convex set of interest here is the diagonal line segment from $(0,1)$ to $(1,0)$:

For any point outside the diagonal, like $c^* $, there is a point like $c’$ on it that forms a right angle with all other points on the diagonal. As a result, $c’$ is closer to all other points on the diagonal than $c^* $ is. In particular, $c’$ is closer


$(-3,3)$ and $(1,1)$.
Again, the dot product is $(-3,3) \cdot (1,1) = -3 \times 1 + 3 \times 1 = 0.$

Going a bit further: the dot product is always positive for acute angles, and negative for obtuse angles. Take the vectors $(5,0)$ and $(-1,1)$:
Then we have $(5,0) \cdot (-1,1) = -5$. Whereas for $(5,0)$ and $(1,1)$:
we find $(5,0) \cdot (1,1) = 5$.

So the sign of the dot-product reflects the angle formed by the vectors $\x$ and $\y$:

acute angle: $\x \cdot \y > 0$,

right angle: $\x \cdot \y = 0$,

obtuse angle: $\x \cdot \y < 0$.

That’s going to be key in generalizing to $n$ dimensions, where reasoning with diagrams breaks down. But first, one last bit of groundwork.

remarks is, and I wanted to know about what I can do to share my voice against racism and promote equality. I found my answers in the video below. Please enjoy.

Racism in the performing arts may not be on the forefront of peoples’ minds in the same way that other forms of racism are; however, this form racism still stands true. For example, seeing an all-white cast of “Anything Goes” may not send people out of a theater in protest as witnessing an Arab American person with incredible skill and eligibility lose a job to their lesser qualified white counterpart would. In order to truly delve into the issue of racism on Broadway, we must first define what we mean.

The issue of racism comes mostly in the castinghim (which is good), but the GOP is doing their best to have anyone but Paul elected. I don’t blame them. He takes their ideas, destroys them with logic, and is completely disrupting all their plans. We all know Republicans tossed the Constitution out a long time ago (Ahem Abe Lincoln), and lord knows they would never allow someone who has actually read it to represent them as a whole. After all, God demands that we bomb Iran.

So this is a problem for the GOP. Ron Paul supporters arn’t diehard Republicans who are going to vote for whoever the nominee is. No, they support Ron Paul, and the Constitution, and will vote third party if Ron Paul isn’t the nominee. This means that unless Ron Paul is the


GOP candidate, you are looking at 4 more years of Teleprompter in Chief Obama. And the only other candidate to figure this out is Mitt Romney.

Romney and Paul Ticket?

Mittens Romney is the front runner. He’s likely going to take the nomination. He is attacked by every candidate out there. Except…Ron Paul. Sure, Dr. Paul has called him a flip flopper, but that’s because Mittens is a flip flopper. Dr. Paul has mauled most of the other candidates during these debates, even putting out ads against several. Mittens Romney has done the same. Mittens has attacked everyone out there…except Dr. Paul. Mittens even complimented Dr. Paul during the debate Saturday night, as seen here: Romney bows to the master! This is unheard of! Compliments, during a debate.

Thus, the later statute provides an exception in order to permit the developer to be distinguished from other unit owners for the purpose of common expenses and assessments for a specified time. However, the distinction clearly did not obtain in the statute of 1971 and such exemption may be open to attack as unenforceable. See footnote 5.

And due to the nature of Dirac fermions, the mechanism of the above FF state is definitely different from that accounting for conventional FF states. For the isotropic SO-interaction, $\mathbf{Q}$ align in the same direction of the Zeeman field, while for the anisotropic case, $\mathbf{Q}$ is along the direction of the scaled Zeeman field.

As a simple example, we consider a special case where all $N$ fermions are on the Fermi surface $|\mathbf{k+b}|=k_\text{F}$, which may be viewed as an approximation for the considered system as many physical phenomena may be mainly related to the electrons near the Fermi surface. The degeneracy of the Fermi level is assumed to be $\Omega$. In the presence of the SO-interaction, the

Here $E_\nu$’s obey the following Richardson’s equation, $$\begin{aligned}

The summation over $\mathbf{k}$ in the second term of the Richardson’s equation excludes (includes) the unpaired states and the sign preceding the third term is $-$ ($+$) for the fermion (boson) case. This difference originates from the important sign change in the commutation relations, namely $[A_\mathbf{k}(\mathbf{k}_0),A_{\mathbf{k}'}^\dagger(\mathbf{k}_0)]=\delta_{\mathbf{k},\mathbf{k}'}[1+\sum_{s=\pm}\hat{n}_{s\mathbf{k+k}_0,s}]$ for the boson case, in contrastYou saw the trailer, now watch the actual video from chorally-approvedBIlly Kelly and Davy Jones.

On March 23, 1953, the Company filed with the Commission an application requesting an increase in rates and charges for service rendered by it within the State of Montana. Hearings on said application, after notice had been given, commenced on May 18,Company assigns two specifications of error:
"I. The Court erred in ordering that the Defendant, Respondent and Cross-Appellant, the Mountain States Telephone and Telegraph Company, take nothing by its cross complaint, and that said cross complaint be dismissed.
"II. The Court erred in failing to find that the Defendant Commission in its Order No. 2396 should have granted to the Defendant Company further and additional annual gross revenues over and above the sum of $1,288,300, or an increase in annual net operating earnings after taxes in a sum in excess of $595,400."
The order of the Commission dated August 7, 1953, granted the Company the right to collect increased rates in the gross amount before taxes of $1,288,300 annually. After taxes the net increased earnings to the Company were $595,400.
The order


Power Co. case:
"In arriving at its decision here, the Commission has gone into all the methods of valuation presented to it; reproduction cost new, less depreciation; original cost; original cost depreciated; and the assessment values of the Company's Montana properties devoted to the service involved in this rate matter.
"Further, the Commission has never been directed by either statute or judicial decision to consider only certain elements in arriving at a conclusion in a rate making matter. It has been allowed a wide discretion, as it necessarily should have to properly perform the duties which the legislature saw fit to delegate to it."
That the Commission exercised its discretion is reflected by its finding No. 10, where it finds the average fair value for the year 1953 of $29,680,000, a70-128.
He who would upset the rate order under the act, Natural Gas Act, 15 U.S.C.A., section 717, carries the heavy burden of making a convincing showing that it is invalid because it is unjust and unreasonable in its consequences. Federal Power Comm. v. Hope Natural Gas Co., supra.
A reading of the transcript and the order of the Commission demonstrates that there was substantial evidence to support its findings. The Commission's Order No. 2396 shows that the Commission reviewed the history of the Company, its revenues, expenses, taxes and earnings for the years 1952 and 1953 from evidence given by the Company as well as other parties, and the authorities relied upon before coming to its conclusion.
The appellant has failed to make any showing that the Commission's order is


unjust, unreasonable and unlawful in its consequences. The appellant failed to carry the burden of presenting proof sufficient to overcome the presumption that the Commission's order is reasonable and lawful. The district court had before it the same issues and the same objections as appellant now advances in this court. This court must and does rely largely on a first reviewing court's decision. Radio Corp. of America v. United States, 341 U.S. 412, 71 S.Ct. 806, 95 L. Ed. 1062, at page 1068. If the court, after review, finds the Commission's order and the findings therein are supported by evidence and credible proof, the court must approve the action of the trial court in affirming the order.
