was frightening and also intriguing at the same time.

The interesting part was the effects of extreme dieting on the body and the mind that people may not realise. The frightening part was how I was mentally taking notes and wondering if I could cope for a week the way they are eating/exercising. I also got a little frightened when I realised how I was slightly wishing I had that much “will power” (more like insanity) to be able to starve and force myself into extreme exercising. My only concern was how extreme dieting could affect the band.

The show (which is a 4 part doc) made me realise how much more obsessed with food & weight I have become since the band and how I now compare & judgemyself a whole lot more – e.g. if I normally lost 2kg in a month I would be happy – now that makes me cry. All I ever seem to think about it what I should or shouldn’t be eating, why am I eating, how much I should be exercising, how much I’m not exercising, number on scales, number I want to lose... its ridiculous. Deep inside I think if I have the psych consult before the band there probably would have been a few red flags. Oh well.

Does anyone else feel the band has made them a little more obsessive about weight/food/body? Or the opposite and they now don’t have to think about food and just eat for nutrition without the mental battle?

Have a great w.end everyone


for work (every 4 weeks for about 4/5 days usually) I am going to do a mini-detox & shakes for the time he is away just to keep the body refreshed and help move things along – so please send my positive vibes (or comments) my way.

Hope everyone has a wonderful week and if anyone ever has any Q’s please ask – I sometimes don’t know what to write about and then tend to ramble and I want my blogs to not only be meaningful/inspiring/interesting to myself but for at least 1 other person as well haha

Stuff like this needs to be called out repeatedly and with great force. We are long past the point where “ignoring the trolls” was effective, and to pretend to do so merely empowers the bullies. We have seen what happens when these supposed minorities of the fan communities, ones dominated by angry white men, decide to launch concerted harassment campaigns against those with apparent “political agendas” that they accuse of “ruining their childhood.” We saw what happened when the extended public humiliation of a woman by her ex-boyfriend became a platform to attack women and minorities in the video game industry under the façade of “ethics in game journalism.” We saw the aftermath of the racists and misogynists who hijacked the Hugo

> Some people are upset he's making a profit.

Is _that_ really what "some people" are upset about? That's not the impression
I get either from the article or from comments here. Some people are upset
that he, and others like him, are making it harder or less pleasant for _them_
to buy used books. Some people are (something rather less than) upset because
what he's doing displeases them aesthetically -- books are meant to be treated
with reverence, bought and sold by people who love them, etc. But I don't see
anyone saying "He's making a profit, and that's bad".

As to whether what he's doing is, on balance, beneficial or harmful, I don't
think we have enough information totowing a cart, and he proceeds to monopolize the shelves as
he roots through all the books and searches them manually on his phone (which
I assume it internet-enabled).

I can't help but get a little annoyed by his presence, especially once I
figured out what he was doing. He wasn't reading all those books, of course;
he was hoping to make a profit on them. I, like many others, look for books
to, you know, actually _read_ , and I view this man's actions as rude.
Likewise, when I offload a box or two of books to this same store, I am doing
so out of a desire to give back to the local community, and it kind of chaps

softbacks for $1

Maybe I'm old fashioned but I _detest_ these people. I see them always in big
book sales: they come in very early, hoard all the books that they think are
valuable, and I mean hundreds of books and then scan through them nervously.
In the end they pick their selection and leave the mess in a corner.
Meanwhile, I do not have access to those books!

Sure you have access to these second-hand books - at the going market rate on
Amazon.

Let me explain more clearly (i) they quickly hoard together good books at the
sale, cutting off access to other prospective buyers on location, like me,
(ii) they buy a very small percentage of the books they hoard (guy in the OP
says 1 in 30), the others books aream aware of
people doing the same thing who, I believe, are easily making $1M+.

$1000 a week? That's it? Yes, I know that you can make a decent living on that

seems like a lot of busy work with little long-term return. Most software devs
make much more than that. I guess I'm not really keen on the idea of trading

sense a (big) disconnect.

My conclusion has been that the set of knowledge to be a great interviewer to get into these kinds of positions is not exactly the same as that to be actually good working in the role once hired. Of course, they aren't mutually exclusive, and a good knowledge base on theory and underlying mechanics is never a bad thing. But I definitely sense a (big) disconnect.

As someone who has just started interviewing for their company, this is true.

However, any good company would not want people who simply do their job really well. They want people who, (1) take initiative and go beyond their jobs (2) can handle extraordinary situations when things aren't working right (3) can be relied upon when you need to design/develop productsPippo, the mountain guide of hotel La Perla, in our house since winter 2016.

The United States Supreme Court has held, however, that to use deadly force to stop a fleeing suspect merely because that suspect may have committed some type of felony is constitutionally unreasonable.

Q:

yum does not pick the latest package

I have a local yum repo with some rpms in it. I want to upgrade one of the packages on all my servers. Let's say the existing one is foo-1.0.x86_64.rpm. I dropped in to the local yum repo a new one called foo-1.2.x86_64. Now, when I do yum update foo, it says no packages marked for update. What do I need to do so that the servers pick up the update?
In the yum.conf, I tried specifying something like:
[updates]
baseurl=
but that didn't work.

A:

I was having same issue.  I did 'yum clean all' on rpm client.  I ran 'createrepo' on Yum Repo server.  Nothing worked.
Finally I was able to fix this by adding following line in /etc/yum.conf on Yum clients:

Agdistis desertorum is a moth of the family Pterophoridae. It is found in Libya.

The wingspan is about 14 mm for males and females. Males are dark grey, while females are somewhat lighter. Adults have been recorded in August.

Stern was reacting to an open letter sent by Waters to rock star Bon Jovi, who recently played a concert in Israel. Waters offered in the letter his support of the anti-Semitic Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS), which seeks to wage economic warfare on Israel.

"Where do you want the Jews to go Roger?" Stern exclaimed. "Where do you want them to go? You want them to just go back to the concentration camp? What is it you want, f*ck head?"

Blood interleukin-6 and tumor necrosis factor-alpha elevation after intracerebroventricular injection of Escherichia coli endotoxin in the rat is determined by two opposing factors: peripheral induction by LPS transferred from brain to blood and inhibition of peripheral response by a brain-mediated mechanism.
Following intracerebroventricular injection of LPS in rats, IL-6 and TNF-alpha appear in peripheral blood. To determine whether these changes are mediated by passage of the injected LPS from the brain to the blood, the time course of appearance in blood of bioactive LPS after intracerebroventricular injection was compared with the time course of appearance of IL-6 and of TNF-alpha in blood. Bioactive LPS was detected 30 min after intracerebroventricular injection, the first time interval tested.

Many Plans, No News

In the Middle East today, home of the invention of algebra, a new math seems to have taken over. It is subtraction by addition. It goes like this: Add more trips to the region by Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice — who doesn’t seem to have any coherent strategy — to an emotionally stale, restated Saudi peace overture to Israel, and combine it with a cynical Hamas-Fatah cease-fire accord and an


by not endorsing the Clinton parameters, we are back with plans that are much worse.”

Indeed, all that is on the table now is the restated Saudi peace initiative, calling for full peace with Israel after full withdrawal and justice for Palestinian refugees — with no maps, details or Arab plan for how to pursue it with Israel. And we have the Saudi-brokered Mecca peace accord between Hamas and Fatah, which doesn’t even acknowledge Israel.

If you read the Mecca agreement, said Mr. Ross, “Israel appears only as an adjective, not as a noun. Israel only appears in the agreement modifying words like ‘aggression’ and ‘occupation,’ but never appears as a noun — much less as a state to be recognized.”

That is what happens when America leaves a vacuum. Otherslarge and well-financed fields of contenders.

Aides to the candidates said they were debating whether the changes would mean that the nominations would effectively be settled on Feb. 5, by which point easily 50 percent of the delegates are likely to have been chosen, or whether a few strong candidates would divide the Feb. 5 take, forcing the campaign to stretch on for months. That could, oddly enough, make those fewer states sticking to later primaries vital players in the election cycle.

The changes are forcing candidates to decide whether Iowa and New Hampshire, two states with contests before Feb. 5, will become more influential as contenders look for early victories to give them momentum. And with as many as 23 states voting on a single day — more states


they had been dismissed after resisting what they suspected were importunings to use their offices to help Republicans win elections. A third described what may have been a threat of retaliation if he talked publicly about his firing.

David Iglesias, who was removed as the United States attorney in Albuquerque, said that he was first contacted before last fall’s election by Representative Heather Wilson, Republican of New Mexico. Ms. Wilson, who was in a tough re-election fight, asked about sealed indictments — criminal charges that are not public.

Two weeks later, he said, he got a call from Senator Pete Domenici, Republican of New Mexico, asking whether he intended to indict Democrats before the election in a high-profile corruption case. When Mr. Iglesias said no, he said, Mr. Domenici repliedwarning, said that if he kept talking about his firing, the department would release negative information about him.

Congress must keep demanding answers. It must find out who decided to fire these prosecutors and why, and who may have authorized putting pressure on Mr. Cummins. And it must look into whether Senator Domenici and Representatives Wilson and Hastings violated ethics rules that forbid this sort of interference. We hope the House committee will not be deterred by the fact that Mr. Hastings is its ranking Republican. The Justice Department also needs to open its own investigation. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales’s claim that these prosecutors were fired for poor performance was always difficult to believe. Now it’s impossible.

this is, you’re not buying the good will to a store as you would if you were putting together an independent business. There’s no residual value at the end of the franchise term. And unless you have a perpetual agreement where you will be in that spot forever, and ever, and ever, and the franchisor cannot boot you out, you really don’t have any, what I would call, “traditional good will”. I don’t agree with that, and I don’t agree that you can never, a good franchise lawyer, can never get that for a franchisee. But overall, a franchisee should never bank on being recognized as an owner. Although it’s a myth created by franchisors that franchisees are getting true independent ownership in a business.

In a 5-year clinical trial it was observed that the marginal degradation of class-II amalgam restorations could be related to the bulk of the restoration. The association between the occlusal cavity depth and the marginal degradation was observed after 6 months and varied for the different types of alloy. Ridit scores of the marginal degradation were correlated to various indices of the cavity sizes, to assess the possible reason for this association. The possibilities of the relationship being an indirect effect caused by longer condensation times or by poorer condensation due to the use of larger condenser sizes were rejected. Furthermore, the possibility that the association was the result of potential buildup of stresses on the restoration margins caused

To Brown, who counts Diane von Furstenberg as an inspiration, as long as it’s beautiful and comfortable, it’s true to her style. “Everything I make is incredibly personal,” she says. “I represent my demographic: a well-traveled woman who wants comfortable, fashionable clothing, who wants it to feel right, who wants to make the right kind of statement.”

Nearly three years after dreaming of her first wrap skirt, Brown feels she’s found her calling. “My path was totally divine—every single step from the idea of the skirt popping into my head. So many times I’ve wanted to quit, but a voice inside saysno, and then I get these calls! I get Fashion Week, I get Martha Stewart,” she says. “I’ve had many, many signs. I get up knowing there’s something greater out there for me.”

I am interested, in these posts, to see this developed from the perspective of what you think is a realistic "conservative" perspective. However you seem to be describing the "liberal" perspective, could you please explain why you call it "conservative"?

Well, I call it conservative because it is grounded on the principles of free and open markets and an inalienable human right to property. There is nothing in this argument about a right to health care or a job, no safety net for the poor, and no micromanaging of the economy.

It is really interesting that what I have been arguing - based on free trade and individual rights - is seen as 'liberal' and condemned as 'socialists' by a large portion of the population. Those people,phasing into a period where "liberal" once again shifts its meaning - back towards the classical definition as distinguished from socialism - and flanked on the right by the corporate feudalism of the contemporary political right (which ironically also includes a medieval position on the relation of church and states).

About Me

When I was in high school, I decided that I wanted to leave the world better off than it would have been if I had not existed. This started a quest, through 12 years of college and on to today, to try to discover what a "better" world consists of. I have written a book describing that journey that you can find on my website. In this blog, I will keep track of the issues I have confronted


a player, that's the highest form of compliment that you can have for your individual game but also for your leadership ability. I think it's the highest compliment you can give a coach, that you've maxed out the talent at hand. I think they have done that better than any team in the NBA."

The Bulls made plays for free-agent superstars LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh over the summer before the trio joined forces with the Miami Heat. The Bulls went with a backup plan, signing a free agent class that included Carlos Boozer, Kyle Korver and Ronnie Brewer, and have watched their young star, Derrick Rose, develophad a capacity of 1.1 million b/d prior to its closure. Syrian Minister of State Ihsan Shraitih said that: “I think any step which would bring the two countries closer we would not hesitate to do,” although Syria has been largely silent regarding the project.

Under UN sanctions, Iraq is allowed to export oil via two routes - the Turkish port of Ceyhan via the Iraqi-Turkish pipeline and Mina al-Bakr in Iraq. A third export route, such as the Iraqi-Syrian pipeline, would have to be approved by the UN sanctions committee.

Members of the committee and industry experts have indicated that UN approval is unlikely for a number of reasons, including that Baghdad’s current production capacity doesn’t justify a third export option.

How to improve efficiency is still a very active research point for pump as turbine. This article comes up with a method for optimal design of pump as turbine impeller meridional plane. It included the parameterized control impeller meridional plane, the computational fluid dynamics technique, the optimized Latin hypercube sampling experimental design, the back propagation neural network optimized by genetic algorithm and genetic algorithm. Concretely, the impeller meridional plane was parameterized by the Pro/E software, the optimized Latin hypercube sampling was used to obtain the test sample points for back propagation neural network optimized by genetic algorithm, and the model corresponding to each sample point was calculated to obtain the performance values by the computational fluid dynamics techniques. Then, back propagation


neural network learning and training are carried out by combining sample points and corresponding model performance values. Last but not least, back propagation neural network optimized by genetic algorithm and genetic algorithm were combined to deal with the optimization problem of impeller meridional plane. According to the aforementioned optimization design method, impeller meridional plane of the pump as turbine was optimized. The result manifests that the optimized pump as turbine energy-conversion efficiency was improved by 2.28% at the optimum operating condition, at the same time meet the pressure head constraint, namely the head difference between initial and optimized model is under the set numeric value. This demonstrates that the optimization method proposed in this article to optimize the impeller meridional plane is practicable.  furnished to do so, subject to the following conditions:

According to Reuters, Beijing on Monday adopted a cyber security law it called necessary to counter growing threats of hacking and terrorism.

The measure, to take effect in June 2017, was swiftly condemned by overseas critics, including business and human rights groups. They said it threatens to shut foreign technology companies out of various sectors deemed "critical", and includes contentious requirements for security reviews and for data to be stored on servers in China.

With less than four years left to reach that goal, NASA had already begun the first unmanned tests of the new Apollo spacecraft in space and it was hoped that the first manned test flights would fly by year’s end (see “The First Flight of the Apollo-Saturn IB”). By the summer of that year, NASA’s Surveyor 1 spacecraft had successfully landed on the Moon (see “Surveyor 1: America’s First Lunar Landing”) confirming that it was possible and the first Lunar Orbiter was being prepared for launch so that it could map potential landing sites (see “Lunar Orbiter 1: America’s First Lunar Satellite“). More


importantly, NASA had completed seven crewed flights with their two-man Gemini spacecraft to gain the practical experience needed to fly Apollo to the Moon and back. Despite the successes, there were still challenges to overcome with only three Gemini flights remaining before the planned end of the program. The Gemini 10 mission of July 1966 would begin to address these issues and continue to expand the envelope of NASA’s capabilities.

Gemini Program Objectives

The purpose of NASA’s Gemini program was to develop the technologies and techniques needed to fulfill President Kennedy’s goal of landing a man on the Moon by 1970. The major objectives of the program were:

– Demonstrate that humans and their equipment can survive up to two weeks in space

– Demonstrate rendezvous and docking techniques in orbit

– Demonstrateof time longer than that needed for Apollo to land on the Moon and return (see “Gemini 7: Two Weeks in the Front Seat of a Volkswagen“). With this major program objective met, the rest of the Gemini missions concentrated on perfecting rendezvous and docking techniques as well developing the skills needed to perform EVAs.

Gemini 6 successfully performed the first rendezvous using Gemini 7 as a target (see “Rendezvous in Space: Gemini 6 and 7”). Gemini 8 completed the first docking in orbit in March 1966 although its mission was cut short due to a thruster malfunction (see “Gemini 8: The First Docking in Space”). Gemini 9 attempted to repeat the feat of its predecessor in June with a faster and more aggressive rendezvous profile but was unable


with the Lunar Module so optical navigation needed to be more fully investigated. Similar optical techniques were used during two of the three rendezvous exercises performed during the Gemini 9 mission revealing some practical limitations of the approach.

After additional exercises were performed following its initial docking, Gemini 10 would use the propulsion systems of Agena 10 to perform a series of maneuvers and boost the docked spacecraft into a much higher elliptical orbit. From this new orbit, Gemini 10 would then perform a rendezvous with a second but unpowered Agena target from the earlier Gemini 8 mission, GATV-5003 now designated “Agena 8”, which was in a circular 398-kilometer storage orbit. Since the batteries on Agena 8 were depleted, this second rendezvous would have to rely on optical navigationmore difficult and dangerous than originally expected and more experience was sorely needed.

In order to breakup the EVA tasks, Mike Collins would perform two EVAs during the Gemini 10 mission that were shorter with less ambitious goals than the previous mission. For these EVAs, Collins would wear a modified G4C spacesuit similar to that was used during the Gemini 8 mission along with a 19-kilogram, chest mounted Extravehicular Life Support System (ELSS) to control his life support and provide 30-minutes of emergency oxygen if a problem arose with the ship’s supply. The first EVA would be a simple “stand up” EVA performed as the docked Gemini/Agena 10 spacecraft was catching up to the Agena 8 target for the mission’s second rendezvous. During this 75-minute EVA, Collins would simply


as a dual-rendezvous target for a future Gemini mission just as Agena 8 had.

Since the Gemini 6 and 9 missions both had experienced the unexpected loss of their Agena targets, back up plans were put in place to deal with the same possibility with Gemini 10. In case of the loss of Agena 10, an alternate “Gemini 10A” mission plan called for Gemini to be launched into an initial 162 by 385 kilometer orbit. From there, Gemini 10A would perform a rendezvous directly with Agena 8 on the 16th revolution. With its larger 426-kilogram load of OAMS propellant, Gemini 10 would be able to reach Agena 8 safely unlike the earlier Gemini 9A mission with its smaller 316-kilogram propellant load. Alternate plans for the EVA, engineering tests andrest period, Young and Collins fired the Agena’s smaller secondary propulsion system (SPS) for 18 seconds at mission elapsed time of 41 hours and four minutes to align their orbital plane with that of Agena 8. A four second firing of the SPS 31½ minutes later lowered the apogee by 1.8 kilometers. With this final phasing maneuver, Agena 10 was no longer needed and Young undocked the two craft 44 hours and 40 minutes into the mission. Gemini 10 would use its own propulsion system to finish the rendezvous with Agena 8.

Relying solely on tracking information from the ground, Young continued the rendezvous with Agena 8 while Collins prepared for his second EVA to start shortly after they arrived. At one point Young thought he had sighted Agena

Ca^2+^ waves of this type would correspond to the "agonal" waves we previously identified in the rat heart \[[@B18], [@B30]\], a presentation of irreversible \[Ca^2+^\]~i~ overload leading to cell death. Such irreversible \[Ca^2+^\]~i~ dynamics accompanied the progressive contracture of the myocytes with a sigmoid time course of the cell-length shortening during the Ca^2+^ repletion. This sequence of events was nearly superimposable on that under blockade of either NCX or SR Ca^2+^ release, indicatingfor smoking women vs nonsmoking women. There was a 13% excess of preterm delivery among female babies when gestational age was determined by ultrasound, but no excess when gestational age was defined by LMP. For postterm delivery, female babies had a 19% lower risk with ultrasound-defined age, but no deficit with LMP-defined age. We found a similar bias with ultrasound in the analysis of maternal smoking. Thus, factors that reduce fetal size inflate the risk of preterm delivery and deflate the risk of postterm delivery when gestational age is based on ultrasound measurement of the fetus. This bias can distort the relative risk of preterm or postterm delivery by 10-20%.

Wisconsin's Beau Allen took it personally that he wasn't invited to the NFL's scouting combine in Indianapolis in February. “For me to see defensive linemen I know that I am better than at the combine was really insulting,” said Allen. “Pro day was my shot, and I came out there and did everything I wanted to do. Not getting invited to the combine definitely gave me something to be angry about.” But that snub didn't stop him from getting drafted.

Something Funny

As we are often known to do, we were spending some time in the local library this week. We stumbled on a ridiculous book. It appears to be the work of a conspiracy theory group in the western United States, but it specifically mentions the VOSJ, so we thought we would take a look.

The "book" in question is called Taking Off the Blindfold, by G.C. Hatonn. Essentially, it espouses the theory that the entire world is controlled by a Jewish/Satanist group of which HM Queen Elizabeth II is a part. The following paragraph comes from the section of chapter 1 entitled "Knights of the Order of the Garter:"

The Knights of the Order of the Garter are the leaders of the Committee of 300, Queen Elizabeth


up boarding considerably and save the T the cost of running the existing fare box system through a mid-life overhaul. Block-Schachter said the existing fare box system should be retired, not overhauled. He said the existing fare boxes on board Green Line trolleys and buses cost the same as an automobile, while the new fare system would be made from off-the-shelf components and cost the equivalent of a bicycle.

Monica Tibbitts-Nutt, a member of the Fiscal Control and Management Board, said after the meeting that the cost of the existing fare boxes ranges between $40,000 and $50,000.

Block-Schachter said the lower cost of the new fare readers would allow the T to install them at every door on a Green Line trolley, speeding up service. He said the fare readersAFTER a lifetime in the delivery business, Tom Bell, managing director of the Warwickshire TNT group, thought he had seen it all - but even he did not anticipate the latest crisis.

?The European Parliament has created some pretty absurd legislation in its time but with the working time directive, (WTD) it really has surpassed itself,? he said.

The EU laws will limit lorry drivers? working time to a maximum 48 hours per week and night shifts to eight hours.

They are aimed at making the drivers? lives easier but, according to Mr Bell, they represent a ?huge threat to the transport industry?.

Although they won?t come into effect until October, 2003, the implications of the new rules are already affecting investment decisions, such as the siting of new depots.

A major grievance


PSBs capital needs significantly higher than budgeted: Moody’s

Government's Rs 23,000-crore equity infusion will provide some respite to the public sector banks (PSBs), but their capital needs are significantly higher than the budgeted amount, Moody's Investors Service has said.

Earlier this week, the government announced a Rs 22,915 crore capital infusion into 13 PSBs. This is the first tranche of infusion and more funds would be provided based on their performance. (Reuters)

Government’s Rs 23,000-crore equity infusion will provide some respite to the public sector banks (PSBs), but their capital needs are significantly higher than the budgeted amount, Moody’s Investors Service has said.

The firm estimates that the 11-rated PSBs need Rs 1.2 lakh crore capital to shore up their balance sheets, which far exceeds the Rs 45,000-crore budgeted for disbursal to2016-17 fiscal. Besides, Rs 10,000 crore each would be infused in 2017-18 and 2018-19.

Moody’s said the external capital requirement of rated 11 PSU banks is about Rs 1.2 lakh crore as of the beginning of this fiscal year, which far exceeds the remaining Rs 45,000 crore the government budgeted for disbursal to the banks by March 2019.

“Therefore, unless the government increases the planned amount of capital for infusion, the capital needs of public sector banks remain significantly above the amount budgeted by the government,” it said.

Out of the Rs 22,915 crore infusion, State Bank of India (SBI) received Rs 7,575 crore followed by IOB (Rs 3,101 crore) and Punjab National Bank (Rs 2,816 crore).

The order is automatically cancelled at the close of market for the day. In 24 hourmarkets, such orders can have unintended consequences if the investor doesn't know specifically when the order will be cancelled.

But the album has more than a few moments of real introspection and delicate care, not to mention some monumental swerves into different genres and styles. 'Turn Back Time' is a real stand-out song and a personal favourite in this case, eschewing the precedent set by the album's outset for 'In Rainbows'-y construction and soaring instrumental mid-sections. 'Us' reminds of 'You Were A Dick'-era Idaho and 'Crystal Rivers' comprises desert-blues telecaster tone a la She Keeps Bees, and all of these tracks sit in the same palette. Often, these trend-bucking tunes show up the more classically rocky tunes of the album; its title-track doesn't offer as much by the way of dynamics or progression. The album's closer 'Set It On Fire' is another

swallowed it." Lacey testified that he heard Perez say, after his arrest, "Boy, that was sure close. I swallowed two papers."
 Gilbert D. Thrasher, a Fresno police officer in charge of the narcotics detail, was also in the residence at the time of the arrest; he testified that after entering the front door he immediately went to the kitchen area, taking Lydia Reyes from the *278 living room to the kitchen with him, and that he there noticed a blackened spoon lying on the drainboard, a burned white paper in the wastebasket, a burned match cover on the ashtray, a hypodermic needle lying on the floor near the wastebasket by the sink, and an eye dropper in the wastebasket along with some parts of balloons.
 Louis Moller, acourt did not agree with that view and said that neither the California Supreme Court "nor the United States Supreme Court has held that unannounced forcible entries may be authorized by a blanket rule based on the type of crime or evidence involved." The opinion continues by saying that under the Fourth Amendment, "a specific showing must always be made to justify any kind of police action tending to disturb the security of the people in their homes. Unannounced forcible entry is in itself a serious disturbance of that security and cannot be justified on a blanket basis." The court held in the Gastelo case that there was nothing to justify the officers' failure to comply with section 1531 of the Penal Code, and the illegally obtained evidence

If there is a difference, and there were many differences, in the evidence received at the trial as between the appellant and his companion on the one hand and the peace officers on the other, it is our duty on appeal to accept the truth of the evidence adduced on behalf of the People.
 Was there evidence of the possession of heroin by the appellant? There are two instances which, taken separately or together, constitute ample proof of the fact. While the defendant's witnesses claimed that the paraphernalia for effecting an injection of heroin and the heroin on the spoon belonged to Miss Reyes, that was not the theory of the prosecution; there was ample evidence to show by legitimate inference that there waswas possessed was a narcotic; consequently, evidence of appellant's knowledge of the nature of heroin was relevant and, in fact, essential to the People's case. The judge, at the time Lacey testified, spoke to the jury, saying: "The Court: Well, I want to say to the jury that you will be instructed as to the limited character of the evidence which you are about to hear and at an appropriate time. I may say to you that it does not have to do directly with this offense, but the only purpose for which I am going to admit this evidence is to show knowledge, if it be shown. The purpose is to permit the District Attorney to show knowledge on the part of this defendant of the character


possession of any amount of heroin constituted a violation of the law, and that the giving of this instruction was error. The court instructed: "You are further instructed that the law does not fix any minimum amount of heroin that is necessary to constitute the possession thereof. The possession of heroin in any amount constitutes a violation of the law where the possessor has knowledge of its presence and of its narcotic character."
 It is clear that this instruction is error in the abstract. (People v. Leal, supra, 64 Cal.2d 504, 512; People v. McCarthy, 64 Cal.2d 513 [50 Cal.Rptr. 783, 413 P.2d 671].) However, the error is not prejudicial, because the only evidence relative to heroin was that the amount on the spoon was substantial enough forSmoker attachments are used in combination with outdoor barbecue grills to allow the grills to be used for smoking food products as well as grilling food products. The addition of smoker attachments increases the utility of outdoor grills and expands the variety of foods that can be prepared on a grill.
The utility of smoker attachments, for use on barbecue grills, has been recognized by a number of people. Smoker attachments have been proposed that are supported by the housing of a barbecue grill or that sit on the grill surface of a barbecue grill. Such smoker attachments can smoke meats and other food products successfully. However, the known smoker attachments have some disadvantages. They tend to remove moisture from the food product that is being cooked and smoked.


focus (FuRMAS) at the site of myoblast adhesion [@pone.0009374-Kesper1] and live imaging data indicate that the F-actin focus marks the site of fusion [@pone.0009374-Richardson1]. Proteins like Duf and SNS localise to this focus suggesting that this might be their site of activity during fusion [@pone.0009374-Kesper1]. Upon fusion, the nuclei of the FCMs are entrained by the FC nucleus and begin to express FC specific molecules [@pone.0009374-Bate1]. The process of fusion is reiterative. Events are repeated in a stepwise manner first leading to the formation of a bi/trinucleate precursor, followed by more such rounds of fusion, accompanied by growth at the ends of the myotube. As embryogenesis proceeds the newly formed muscles attach to specific sites at the epidermis leading to the formation of approximately 30 muscles per hemisegmentis unknown. This was mutated to DVPAI (Duf ^PADVI-flag^). Four putative phosphorylation sites namely, one Serine (Ser 680) and three Tyrosine (Tyr 637, 810 and 814) residues were mutated to Alanine (Ala) in a single construct (Duf ^4phos-flag^). Tyr 810 and 814 lie in a putative autophosphorylation domain. A PDZ binding motif THV, at the extreme C terminus was mutated to GAG (Duf ^PDZ-flag^). In addition, we addressed if larger regions of the intracellular domain were involved in any specific functions by generating three truncated forms of Duf. These were named Duf ^ΔCT1-flag^, Duf ^ΔCT2-flag^ and Duf ^ΔCT3-flag^ that lacked the intracellular region after amino acids 830, 737 and 687 removing 35%, 60% and 75% of the intracellular domain, respectively. Each of these mutant constructs was analysed individually.

![Duf


individual proteins were detected on a western blot. Consistent with the immunofluorescence results obtained from S2 cells, Duf ^flag^, Duf ^ΔCT1-flag^ and Duf ^ΔCT2-flag^ interact with both Rols ([Fig. 3A](#pone-0009374-g003){ref-type="fig"}, lanes 6, 7 and 8) and Loner ([Fig. 3B](#pone-0009374-g003){ref-type="fig"}, lanes 6, 7 and 8) while Duf ^ΔCT3-flag^ fails to interact with either ([Fig. 3A and B](#pone-0009374-g003){ref-type="fig"}, lane 9). Duf ^4\ phos-flag^ also interacts with Loner (data not shown). Thus, the breakpoints of Duf ^ΔCT2-flag^ and Duf ^ΔCT3-flag^ delineate a region in the intracellular domain (between amino acids 687 and 830) that is important for the interaction of Duf with Rols and Loner. We conclude that the same region of Duf is required for the translocation of Rols and Loner to sites of cell adhesion, and also for interactionis unsuited to industrial production.
The process (4) according to Bull. Korean Chem. Soc., vol. 15, p. 525 (1996) also requires expensive diphenylphosphorylazide, and the reaction is conducted at 80xc2x0 C. at which there is a danger of explosion.
Process (5) (Tetrahedron:Asymmetry, vol. 8, p. 477 (1997)) comprises converting a xcex2-hydroxy ester obtained by optical resolution with lipase into a hydrazide, which is subjected to Curtius rearrangement to give an optically active oxazolidinone derivative as illustrated below. According to this technique, an acylazide is produced at 5xc2x0 C. or below, and the reaction system is warmed to room temperature, at which it is stirred overnight to produce a desired compound. Since the Curtius rearrangement is performed at room temperature, it needs a long time. The acylazide, being left to


by the insured." An endorsement to the policy amended the definition of bodily injury to include personal injury if the insured paid an additional premium, which Scudder did. The endorsement defined personal injury as bodily injury, sickness, disease, death, disability, shock, mental anguish, or mental injury resulting from false arrest, false imprisonment, wrongful eviction, wrongful detention, malicious prosecution, humiliation, libel, slander, invasion of privacy, assault and battery committed for the purpose of protecting persons or property, or assault and battery not committed by or at the direction of a covered person. The exclusion for injuries "which are expected or intended by the insured" did not apply to personal injury coverage. The policy did state, however, that personal injury coverage does not apply to injury caused by violation ofexclusions which should have precluded entry of summary judgment.
 4 In Cowan v. Insurance Co. of North America (1974), 22 Ill. App.3d 883, the court considered the meaning of an insurance policy exclusionary provision which, like the two provisions mentioned in the preceding paragraph, excluded coverage for any act committed by the insured with intent to cause personal injury. The court held that such a provision only absolves an insurance company from liability if the insured acted with specific intent to cause harm to a third party. (Cowan, 22 Ill. App.3d at 892-93.) Cowan was recently cited with approval in Allstate Insurance Co. v. Carioto (1990), 194 Ill. App.3d 767, 778. Furthermore, our supreme court has stated that the terms "expected" and "intended" in an insurance policy exclusionary


indemnify him. Vago, 197 Ill. App.3d at 138.
 8 Scudder argues that Hanover and Economy were estopped from raising a defense of noncoverage. He cites La Rotunda v. Royal Globe Insurance Co. (1980), 87 Ill. App.3d 446, 452, for the proposition that if an insurer refuses to defend, it is estopped from later alleging that the insured was not covered under the policy. (La Rotunda, 87 Ill. App.3d at 452.) The court went on to state in La Rotunda, however, that if there is clearly no coverage when the policy and underlying complaint are examined, then there is no estoppel. (87 Ill. App.3d at 452.) Since we have determined as a matter of law that there is no coverage with regard to the actions alleged in the fourboys' complaint, we conclude there is no estoppel.
For the above reasons, the order of the circuit court of Du Page County granting summary judgment to Economy and Hanover is affirmed.
Affirmed.

Although we and others have recently shown that mast cells play an important role in plaque progression and destabilization, the nature of the actual trigger for (peri)vascular mast cell activation during atherosclerosis is still unresolved. In this study, we confirm that perivascular mast cell content correlates with the number of nerve fibers in the adventitia of human coronary atherosclerotic plaque specimen. Because peripheral C-type nerve fibers secrete, among others, substance P, a potent mast cell activator, we set out to study effects of adventitial administration of this neuropeptide on mast cell dependent destabilization of carotid artery plaques in apolipoprotein E-deficient (apoE(-/-)) mice.

A single prolyl 3-hydroxylase gene is present in the genome of the pre-vertebrate chordate, *Ciona intestinalis*; genomic duplications resulted in three prolyl 3-hydroxylases in higher vertebrates [@pone.0019336-Capellini1].

We recently revealed several previously unknown molecular sites of 3Hyp along fibrillar collagen chains using peptide mass spectrometry [@pone.0019336-Weis1]. Both A-clade chains (α1(I), α2(I), α1(II), α1(III) and α2(V)) and B-clade chains (α1(V), α1(XI) and α2(XI)) were examined from human and bovine tissues. Four A-clade sites (A1, A2, A3 and A4) and three B-clade sites (B1, B2 and B3) were defined. A particularly interesting finding was 100% 3-hydroxylation of the A1 site in type III collagen from chicken skin. It was predicted that the presence of a histidinexenopus types I and III; however, a small amount of trimeric type III collagen was identified in both the soluble and insoluble neutral salt preparations by running ±DTT on SDS-PAGE ([Figure 1B](#pone-0019336-g001){ref-type="fig"}; lanes 2, 4 and 5).

Substrate consensus sequence of the 3Hyp primary site {#s3b}
-----------------------------------------------------

Collagen α-chains α1(I), α2(I), α1(II), α1(III), α1(V) and α2(V), were screened for the presence of 3Hyp using mass spectrometry, as described previously [@pone.0019336-Weis1]. In-gel trypsin digests were inspected for the presence of mass variants (+16 Da) at the known molecular sites of 3Hyp (A1, A2, A3 and A4) for the A-clade collagens and (B1, B2 and B3) for the B-clade collagens.

The A1 site was ≥99% hydroxylated in all the α-chains tested from xenopus and chicken skin, except α2(I), which lacks a GPP motif at this locus. Mass spectrometry confirmed that this 3-hydroxy modification was indeed 100% occupied in the α1(III) chain of xenopus, as it is in chicken ([Figure 2](#pone-0019336-g002){ref-type="fig"}). This was particularly interesting since all mammalian species tested lackedKevin Steen has not always been the popular man in Ring of Honor - at least not with the people in charge. But it is Steen's insistence on forging his own path and doing things "his way" that turned him into one of the most unforgettable athletes in the history of the promotion. There has never been - and there never will be - another Kevin Steen.

As a reflection of all that Steen has meant to Ring of Honor - to the locker room and the fans - Nigel McGuinness has decided to allow him to hand select his opponents for his remaining ROH matches.

Kevin Steen sent us this interview earlier regarding Nigel's offer...

So on July 12th in Minneapolis, MN we will see Kevin Steen vs. TOMMASO CIAMPA
