How to Use Language to Subtly Project Power

Why framing the debate is such a powerful and subtle device.

Those in power tend to talk about the big picture rather than the details, a new study finds.

By the same token, if a speaker focuses on abstract concepts, this sends the message that they are a powerful person.

For example:

“…a speaker discussing a massive earthquake might either state that 120 people died and 400 were injured (a concrete statement conveying specific details), or that the earthquake is a national tragedy (an abstract statement conveying higher-level meaning).” (Wakslak et al., 2014)

The conclusions come from six experiments published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology (Wakslak et al., 2014).

In one typical experiment, participants read quotations about a political event, each attributed to aSynthesis, DNA binding and cleavage activities of copper (II) thiocyanate complex with 4-(N,N-dimethylamino)pyridine and N,N-dimethylformamide.
Two novel copper(II) thiocyanate complexes with 4-(N,N-dimethylamino) pyridine and N,N-dimethylformamide (1) and with 4-(N,N-dimethylamino) pyridine (2) have been synthesized and characterized. The crystal and molecular structures of complexes 1 and 2 were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Antioxidative activity tests in vitro showed that complex 1 has significant antioxidative activity against hydroxyl free radicals from the Fenton reaction and also oxygen free radicals, which is better than standard antioxidants like vitamin C and mannitol. The interaction of complex 1 with calf thymus DNA was investigated by spectroscopic, cyclic voltammetry, and viscosity measurements. Results suggest that complex 1 can bind to DNA via partial intercalation mode. Moreover, complex 1 has been found to cleavage of

The scientist who led the team that cracked the human genome, one of the most extraordinary scientific achievements of our time, is about to publish a book positing that such discoveries bring man “closer to God.”

Francis Collins, director of the U.S. National Human Genome Research Institute, says that unraveling the human genome gave him a first-hand view of the handiwork of the Almighty.

In his forthcoming book, “The Language of God,” he explores one of the most amazing discoveries of the modern era – that life is actually encoded with a mind-boggling amount of information written out in a clearly understandable language. Needless to say, information and language are not the byproducts of random chemical reactions or other godless evolutionary"English (Austria)",

Q:

Glide, How to display image cache while charging the request?

When the internet is slow, Glide takes too long time to show the image, I need to display the image immediately.

A:

1) If your image is not changing rapidly you could use Glide disk and memory caching feature. Define the strategy using .diskCacheStrategy(DiskCacheStrategy) method. There are several DiskCacheStrategy you could use:

DiskCacheStrategy.NONE caches nothing
DiskCacheStrategy.SOURCE caches only the original full-resolution image.
DiskCacheStrategy.RESULT caches only the final image, after reducing the resolution
DiskCacheStrategy.ALL caches all versions of the image. This is the default behavior

2) If your image changes rapidly you'll need to maybe load the cached image right away and then do the network call to fetch the update and load it if success. There are ways to do this but maybe you wanna look1124 (8th Cir.1989) (Title VII case)). Equitable tolling is permissible in situations other than *1139 those in which some positive misconduct occurs by the party against whom it is asserted. Anderson v. Unisys Corp., 47 F.3d 302, 306 (8th Cir.1995).
It is clear that equitable tolling is premised on the plaintiff's excusable neglect, which may or may not be attributable to the defendant.[] Other circuits, as well as our own, have held that when an administrative agency misleads a complainant, particularly one who is without the benefit of counsel, equitable tolling may be justified.
Id. at 306-07.
In Anderson v. Unisys Corp. the plaintiff received a letter from the Minnesota Department of Human Rights in response to his inquiry about filing an administrative charge that stated the plaintiff had one year


Inc., 995 F.2d 117, 119 (8th Cir.1993); Hall v. American Bakeries Co., 873 F.2d 1133, 1134 (8th Cir.1989); Holley v. Sanyo, 771 F.2d 1161, 1166 (8th Cir.1985). This "additional evidence" could take the form of direct, circumstantial, or statistical evidence. Holley, 771 F.2d at 1166. Plaintiff relies solely on circumstantial evidence, so his case is governed by the McDonnell Douglas line of cases.
Plaintiff has produced evidence indicating that an issue of material fact remains in dispute regarding the fourth element of his prima facie case and whether Defendant's articulated nondiscriminatory reason is a pretext for discrimination. Plaintiff has produced statistical evidence that Defendant discriminated based on age sufficient to meet his prima facie case. See Goetz v. Farm Credit Services, 927 F.2d 398, 406 (8th Cir. 1991) (sufficientlysubstantial statistical disparities raise an inference of age discrimination). Additionally, Plaintiff has presented evidence that Defendant's decision-makers did not use clear, objective criteria in determining who to terminate in connection with the RIF. Furthermore, Plaintiff's position became available within six months of his termination, and although Plaintiff interviewed for his old position, Defendant hired a younger man with no experience as a core inspector. This evidence that Defendant's RIF was a pretext for age discrimination creates a factual dispute. Finally, the fact that Defendant retained an older employee merely challenges Plaintiff's evidence, because exhibits filed with Plaintiffs Opposition to Defendant's second motion for summary judgment have the word "retire" next to Mr. Davis' name. When Mr. Davis did retire, Plaintiff was not informed that a core inspector position


had become available, and a younger man was hired.
Plaintiff has presented sufficient evidence to withstand Defendant's summary judgment motion. Therefore, the Court will deny Defendant's second motion for summary judgment.

Discovery Motions

I. Plaintiff's Motion to Compel
Plaintiff seeks to compel responses to interrogatories 1(b), 2, 4, 5, 9, 12, 13, and 16 and responses to production requests 2, 3, 4, 11, 12, 31, and 33 propounded on Defendant. Defendant has indicated that it has provided the requested information requested in these interrogatories through various means with the exception of the information requested in interrogatory 5 and document requests 3 and *1142 4. Defendant asserts that the information sought in interrogatory 5 and document requests 3 and 4 relates solely to the sale of Doe Run in April 1994, three yearsconnection is to developing the most muscularity as possible in any given muscle group. The back is no exception. In fact, because of all the muscles located in the back including the lats, traps, rhomboids, teres major, teres minor, infraspinatus, rear delts, erectors and more you will want to be sure you know how to activate them all.
The first thing to do is experience the feeling of an intense contraction in your back muscles. This can be accomplished by taking your elbows and tucking them as hard into your sides as possible. You should immediately feel the lats working if you do this properly. Now some people lacking a good mind muscle connection may not be able to feel this that much. There is no need for panic


to half inhibition, and the chain length, R or Y was observed. (R11Y16)s were the best inhibitor of HPL and (R10Y11)s were the best inhibitors of HGL. We observed a highly enantioselective discrimination, both with the pure enantiomeric alkylphosphonate inhibitors as well as a scalemic mixture. We also showed, for the first time, that this enantioselective recognition can occur either during the catalytic step or during the initial interfacial adsorption step of the lipases. These experimental results were analyzed with two kinetic models of covalent as well as pseudo-competitive inhibition of lipolytic enzymes by two enantiomeric inhibitors.until mid-October, is traveling and skating with the Flames.

him this transgression, but he simply compounded the error by refusing to back down. As this process went on, it multiplied my anger because this is the man who is supposed to represent F1 to the world at large. The fans and those involved in the sport did not vote for him in that role and I find it deeply disquieting that he does not appear to comprehend that it was not the moment to be pursuing his own agenda. Quite a few people felt Jean’s actions were so misguided that they were worthy of resignation (although no-one would say it out loud), but Todt is not the resigning type. No-one at the FIA has big enough shoulders to attempt an overthrow.

What makes this whole thing all thesupport to the French nation and the families of those killed and injured in the attacks. Others at the FIA obviously realised what Todt’s disastrous interview with Canal+ had done and rushed out a statement that sounded like a statement rushed out to cover for a PR disaster. It was too little, too late. Then within hours, out came a new statement detailing how the road safety commemoration would go ahead on Sunday and how a moment of remembrance for Paris would be shoved into the driver’s parade. This was wholly inappropriate as the drivers are supposed to go around waving and smiling at the crowds. All this did was to make them uncomfortable because they did not know what to do. It compounded the original problem and


was utterly wrong on pretty much every level.

I have no problem with remembering road accident victims, but the timing was wrong and insensitive and it was really hard to understand how sensitivity would not come naturally to someone who espouses a humanitarian cause. Campaigning about road deaths implies a deep-rooted sense of caring for humankind, but how can someone feel for road victims and yet be so completely insensitive to the victims of a horrendous terrorist attack? There is a disconnect here that inevitably leads to questions. Not everyone is born with great communication skills, but if one does not have them and one wants to deal in a high profile world, it is best to surround yourself with people who do know how to communicate – and18 wins… the Nationals only had one last year. Can someone tell me the last time that happened (3 pitchers with 18+ wins)?

I’m typically a Howard guy… I typically don’t understand the Utley thy savior stuff but I have a feeling that Utley will outplay Howard in 2013. I think that Howard can have a .260/35HR/115 RBI season… he can almost do that in his sleep but he won’t return to MVP form unless he commits to getting in shape and rehabbing those ailments hard and being a newlywed, I just don’t know if he’ll commit to that. Utley, by comparison clearly has something to prove. He screwed the Phillies last year – we were counting on him and he left us high and dry – and no


year.

I don’t know if this is the type of thing you’re referring to, but a couple things about Utley:

1) because he does a lot of things well, and plays a premium position, many statistically-minded folks consider him one of the 2 or 3 best players in baseball over the last decade.

2) his first 8 full seasons (2005-12) have been the best 8-year stretch by a second baseman not named Morgan over the past 50+ years; better than any stretch put together by Biggio, Alomar, Sandberg, Carew, etc.

Those are some pretty classy names you dropped there Schmenkman. Alomar, Biggio, Sandberg, Carew? I don’t remember Carew’s defensive prowess but I saw Robbi Alomar numerous times and I would rate his career among the best. HOF material.

Schmenk… I love you… but8.

Current data transfer systems also require the data to be transmitted over longer distances between the transmitting and receiving devices. Longer transmission distances increase the time skew between the data and the clocking signal at the receiving device. As stated earlier, increased time skew creates data validity problems at the receiving device. The validating edge of the clock pulse may align with a point on the data bus where the data is either invalid or the wrong data byte in the transfer sequence. Furthermore, efficient data transfer systems require a higher data rate, which requires a faster clock signal. Increasing the clock speed reduces the width of the clock pulse.

It is a hassle. It’s cumbersome. And 100 percent needed.

One Texas lawmaker is hopeful to pass legislation in the upcoming session “relating to cardiac assessments of high school participants in extracurricular athletic activities sponsored or sanctioned” by the UIL.

Rep Dan Huberty, R-Houston, filed the bill Monday, the first day for lawmakers to submit legislation they want to pass in the upcoming year.

In addition to already-required physical exams for students participating in UIL activities, the bill would also require an electrocardiogram or echocardiogram as part of their health assessment.

If the legislation is approved, districts would have the opportunity to partner with a nonprofit to cover the cost of the electrocardiograms or echocardiograms or to pick up the cost themselves. The tests would


be required every two years.

Legislators filed a similar bill in 2015, but it did not make it into law that go around.

This time it needs to. For Moore. For everything he has gone through. And for anyone’s son or daughter who may need it in the future.

Fewer than 8 percent of those who suffer cardiac arrest outside a hospital survive, according to the American Heart Association. And 88 percent of all cardiac arrests occur at home.

That could have been Moore.

But it wasn’t thanks to the quick reactions and properly trained staff at Reagan High School, his doctors and proper early testing.

“I am absolutely glad (training) is mandated. ... Did we not panic and not lose valuable time because we were trained? I have to think so,” Hirst said.Athletic Center’s Littleton Gym, cheering from the bench as his team played against Reagan’s rival Johnson High School.

“Seeing him sit on the bench a week and a half later during pre-game warmups, man, every time, you say to your self or other coaches ‘Can you believe that guy is here?’” Hirst said. “You were just so relieved and happy and shocked. Every time we saw him we thought that.”

On Monday, Moore did more than just cheer on his teammates. He played along side them.

“I wanted to get back into school and show everyone that I was all right and to not treat me any different than before it happened,” Moore said Monday. “I wanted to come back and play because I love the sport and all of my


peers around me that were encouraging me.”

Regus said: “It is a huge comeback for him. He has been through so much and he is really happy to be back on the court.”

Even though Moore only played for a couple of minutes in the first and fourth quarters of the 85-70 loss to Marshall, it’s doubtful he or his family cared.

“It is amazing, to know where were we 10 months ago,” his mother said. “Things could have ended so much differently. I have parents tell me that I can’t believe you’d let him play. … But, I knew that as soon as I walked into the hospital room the day it happened that the only thing that mattered to him was the varsity. He has worked really hard toare mapped to their future.

In the case of a continuous family of isometries (i.e. stationary and static solutions), this problem has a long history and goes under the name “no hair” conjecture. See [@nohair] for a survey of results and a recent important refinement. Current proofs depend on various extra assumptions and truly satisfactory theorems have only been obtained in the vacuum and electrovacuum static case.

The aim of this paper is to try to generalize some results from the static case to the spherically symmetric “time-periodic” case. The study of periodic solutions to the Einstein equations was initiated in Papapetrou [@papa1] [@papa2]; see also [@gs]. The analyses indicate that vacuum solutions which are periodic near null infinity should in fact be static there, but they are far from

But as $p\to H^+\cap H^-$, the term on the right hand side approaches $0$. Thus, since the left hand side is nonnegative, it follows that $$\int_{H^+\cap J^-(q)}{\bar\Psi G^\alpha\Psi }N^\beta g_{\alpha\beta}=0$$ for all $q$ and consequently, $\bar\Psi G^\alpha\Psi N^\beta g_{\alpha\beta}=0$ identically on $H^+$, and similarly, $\bar\Psi G^\alpha\Psi N_-^\beta g_{\alpha\beta}=0$ on $H^-$, where $N_-$ denotes the null vector tangent to $H^-$. Since $N_-+N$ at $H^-\cap H^+$ is timelike, it follows by the positivity of the current that $\Psi$ in fact vanishes there.

Comparison of architectures {#sec:comparison}
===========================

So far, we have shown that any i/o map $\sF$ with approximately finite memory can be approximated by a ReLU temporal convolutional net. We have also considered recurrent models and shown that any incrementally stable recurrent model has approximately finite memory and can therefore be approximated by a ReLU TCN. As far as their approximation capabilities are concerned, both recurrent models and autoregressive models like TCNs are equivalent, since any finite-memory i/o map of the form admits the state-space realization $$\begin{aligned}
    & x^1_{t+1} = x^2_t,
    x^2_{t+1} = x^3_t, \ldots,

latter compounds appears to be favored by polar solvents and cation-stabilizing groups at C2 as phenyl or methyl, and these observations may be well accounted for by the suggested pathway from 5 through charged species as E. Direct oxidation by singlet oxygen to sulfur is unsignificant, except for the amide series and for 1g or when the oxygenation is carried out in methanol.([@bib63]; [@bib4]; [@bib28]), but little is known about the factors that activate P1 and whether transcription from the P1 promoter affects P2 activity had not been explored. To our knowledge, this was true of all other individually and globally defined examples of alternative transcripts of differential translatability, as transcriptional interference and uORF-based translational control have been topics studied independently, and typically by different labs. Transcriptional interference is an essential feature of the LUTI mechanism, because it causes a toggle between the two transcript isoforms, which is necessary for effective gene expression repression. Transcriptional interference also enables efficient developmental regulation in the case of *NDC80*. Evidence of transcriptional interference from nearby transcription has previously been established in human cells (reviewed in ([@bib52]; [@bib46])), but these cases have not involved

Jackie: I pay.

Simi: Yourself?

Jackie: Yeah! You hurt in my movie? I'll take care of you my whole life. That's my promise.

Simi: Tell me Jackie, which would you say is the most difficult stunt you have done, which you were terrified of?

Jackie: Actually, every stunt I'm terrified.

Simi: Every stunt?

Jackie: Look, am an ordinary man! Am not superman! Really! I just... I just... shows enough. I'm scared. I have to do it. There are so many people watching it... for the movie... for myself� for the fans.. for the world.

Simi: And in real life are you scared of anything?

Jackie: Needle! Injection!

Simi: Needle? You're scared of needles? Why?

Jackie: I don't know why. I think from childhood. My father,But now, I am good father.

Simi: Because your manager and friend Willie Chang said you make a very good friend but a very bad husband?

Jackie: Ya, I am a very bad husband. I think at the time being now I am getting older, I don't go out every night. Now, I have changed.

Simi: But in the world of Jackie Chan, what room is there for family, love, for marriage?

Jackie: The family is already there. Even my wife, my son if they want something, do something, they don't call me. They call the manager, they call the assistant. So never care about family, I am still concentrating on business. Today, if I quit, bye bye everything.

Simi: You are obsessed with your work. Jackie Chan is obsessed with his work.

Based on a survey of title deeds, the government says blacks own four percent of private land, and only eight percent of farmland has been transferred to black hands, well short of a target of 30 percent due to have been reached in 2014.

AgriSA, a farm industry group, says 27 percent of farmland is in black hands. Its figure includes state land and plots tilled by black subsistence farmers in the old homelands.

Critics allege that many farms transferred to emerging black farmers have failed because of a lack of state support, an allegation Ramaphosa denies.

HAIL TO THE CHIEFS

The 17 million people who reside in the former homelands, a third of the population, are mostly subsistence farmers working tiny plots on communal land.

Critics of ANC land policy say thatis taken from a property owner, “compensation ... must be just and equitable.”

To some, “just and equitable” could mean no compensation, depending on the circumstances in which previous occupants or owners were deprived of or removed from the land, either in British colonial times or under apartheid.

Ramaphosa has said South Africans are taking part in public hearings on land reforms that are being held countrywide, as they wanted the constitution to make clear when compensation was or was not justified.

The ANC is then expected to take its proposal to parliament, where a two-thirds majority is needed to change the constitution. Together with the leftist Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF), it has more than enough votes in the 400-seat parliament to effect the change.


to make an announcement related to care in neonatal intensive care units. Newborns who spend time in NICUs often are there because of "severe genetic distress," according to Sutherland, and genomic testing can help pinpoint ailments. "You have to know [what the problem is] within the first 48 to 72 hours for the physician to take action that can be successful," he said. "You can't wait two weeks for results."

Sutherland said genomic analysis will also be "super important" in the treatment of cancer, many forms of which have genetic bases. "To understand one person's genome well, you need to study 1,000 genomes or more [in order to find a genetic base for diseases]," explained Rupert Yip, Bina's director of project management. "This hasn't been possible before."

Users of thehours before the delegation arrived without criminal checks and medical checks being performed in order to bolster that same false impression.

I will describe our more detailed findings on the Krome-related allegations shortly.
Of the allegations made concerning deceptive conduct at Miami International Airport, we found several of the serious allegations to be substantially correct. Those allegations were:

that additional airport inspectors were assigned to the inspections area during the visit by the delegation to make it appear that the area was well-staffed and was able to process passengers without delay; and

that aliens held in a detention area called "hard secondary" were released to sit in a waiting area during the delegation's visit, again apparently to create the false impression that very few aliens were incarcerated and that the situation in


completion of his prison sentence. When the OIG investigators checked criminal history records for the released aliens, we determined that the records of 5 additional aliens reflected arrests for immigration-related charges although the alien
s were apparently not ultimately prosecuted. In addition to these problems, the releases conflicted with stricter release policies directed by INS Headquarters in May 1995.

The evidence clearly established that the movement of aliens to the Jackson County Jail and the release of aliens into the community were motivated by the Delegation's visit. In particular, the OIG investigators uncovered electronic communications between Kathy Weiss, the Krome Camp Administrator, and Valerie Blake, which stated that aliens would be moved "out of sight for cosmetic purposes." Additional evidence established that other senior INS officials, including District Director Walterwere otherwise deemed dangerous or posed a flight risk. However, prior to the Delegation's visit, senior District managers and supervisors directed Airport personnel to keep the detention cells in hard secondary "clean," meaning to be kept empty. As a result of this order, several aliens were removed from the cells and placed in the hard secondary seating area. At least six aliens who ordinar
ily would have been detained incells were sitting unrestrained in the seating area during the Delegation's visit. No member of the Delegation was informed of the identity and status of these persons.

In addition, and more significantly, INS employees were instructed by management officials that, if asked by Delegation members about the type of aliens placed in the hard secondary cells, the employees were to respond

The 32-year-old gunman, identified by sources as Juan Lopez, and his ex-fiancee Dr Tamara O'Neal are among the dead.

Chicago police officer Samuel Jimenez, 28, was also killed in the shooting. Jimenez, a married father-of-three, had only just completed his probationary period.

The second woman who was shot by Lopez was a pharmaceutical technician at Mercy Hospital. Her name has not been released.

O'Neal, an ER doctor at the hospital, was reporting for work when she was confronted by Lopez just before 3.30pm.

The pursuit of life’s necessities is quite legitimate; hence, we are duty-bound to do the work which enables us to obtain them: “If anyone is unwilling to work, do not let him eat.” (l6) But the acquisition of worldly goods can lead men to greed, to the unrelenting desire for more, to the pursuit of greater personal power. Rich and poor alike—be they individuals, families or nations—can fall prey to avarice and soul-stifling materialism.

Q:

Continued comments

On many different stack exchange sites I often see people using several comments to get a point across because a single comment doesn't provide enough characters for the statements they wish to make.
Does this violate any rules?
If someone can't fit what they want to say in the space of the allocated size of a comment then shouldn't that mean that what they intend to say should not be put in a comment?
If so should those comments be flagged?
Also, if someone down votes this can you please provide a reason why a single comment is limited to 600 characters (or whatever it is)? If comments are intended to be used for making long statements then why put such a limit on the number of characters?

Keep inin a planet with a different sun, they see colors differently, so their starmaps, instead of having a black background, would have reddish backgrounds..." I decided that, because Vulcans grew up in a planet with a different sun, they see colors differently, so their starmaps, instead of having a black background, would have reddish backgrounds...

Vulcans had a superior metabolism to Humans. Caffeine and sapotoxins had little effect on them. (ENT: "Breaking the Ice") They were also capable of surviving for long durations without food or sleep. Under stress, Vulcans could do without sleep for weeks. (TOS: "The Paradise Syndrome") Tuvok once claimed that, as a Vulcan, he was capable of going without sleep for two weeks, (VOY: "Muse") although, shortly after making this claim, he was observed to


called focal points in the bioelectric field of the brain qui'lari. (DS9: "The Muse")

Stronger minds were capable of non-contact telepathic projection and scanning, usually over short distances, (TOS: "The Devil in the Dark", "The Omega Glory"; VOY: "Random Thoughts", "Prey") but sometimes even over interstellar distances. (TOS: "The Immunity Syndrome"; Star Trek: The Motion Picture; DIS: "Lethe" )

Another psionic ability of the Vulcan race was the telepathic suggestion or compulsion, consciously performed by Spock, (TOS: "Dagger of the Mind", "A Taste of Armageddon", "The Omega Glory") Sybok, (Star Trek V: The Final Frontier) Tuvok, (VOY: "Repression") and T'Pol, (ENT: "In a Mirror, Darkly") and unconsciously performed by Sarek. (TNG: "Sarek")

Although Vulcans did not, typically, allow themselves to experience uncontrolled strong emotions, they could sense them in others. (ENT:to reproduce, including Vulcans and Humans.

In 2155, Terra Prime extremists created a binary clone from T'Pol and Trip Tucker. The child, whom they called Elizabeth, had many genetic flaws due to the method of her creation and she died. (ENT: "Demons", "Terra Prime")

In 2230, Spock was born on Vulcan to Sarek and Amanda Grayson. He was the first Vulcan/Human hybrid to survive to adulthood. (ENT: "Terra Prime"; TOS: "Journey to Babel", "The Squire of Gothos"; Star Trek Beyond)

Society

The government on Vulcan was a representative democracy. Individual political advancement was based on meritocratic principles. (ENT: "Awakening")

The Vulcans held a number of spiritual beliefs. Their religious system was polytheistic. They also believed in the katra, the soul and consciousness of a person, which could be transferred psionically prior to death.


(TAS: "Yesteryear"; Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan; Star Trek III: The Search for Spock; TNG: "Gambit, Part I"; ENT: "The Forge", "Awakening")

Vulcans were generally non-violent, but logic dictated that combat was sometimes necessary. Vulcans could and did use weapons and practiced martial arts called tal-shaya and Suus Mahna. Most later Vulcans were vegetarians. (TOS: "Journey to Babel"; ENT: "Marauders"; DIS: "Context Is for Kings")

In the writers' second draft script of ENT : " Breaking the Ice ", another Vulcan martial art was named as Sha'mura.

Vulcans were also known for their high degree of honesty. They were extremely reluctant to tell a lie, and indeed it was said that "Vulcans could not lie." However, they would do so for what they perceived as logical reasons, though theysociety was in arriving at the truth through logical process. Emotions were illogical, thus making them impure, and deterrent to truth. Vulcans were born with the same emotions that afflicted their violent ancestors, but continual mental conditioning generally gave them the impassivity they sought. (TAS: "Yesteryear")

Though not all could arrive at the ultimate pure logical state, the exacting process of mental control gave Vulcans enough to conform to the ideals of Vulcan society. The ultimate level of logical thought was achieved through the attainment of kolinahr, which was said to purge them of all remaining emotions. (Star Trek: The Motion Picture)

Vulcans believed knowledge to be the best defense against unknown dangers, and pursued it with the intellect and logic that made them some of the finest scholars in


"Whom Gods Destroy")

When they were older, they learned in skill domes. The Vulcan Learning Center employed these. (Star Trek, DIS: "The Vulcan Hello", "Battle at the Binary Stars")

A Vulcan program suitable for young children which taught basic problem solving skills was available at Deep Space 9's school in 2370. (DS9: "Whispers")

The Vulcan Science Academy and Vulcan Medical Institute were two notable post-secondary institutions.

Pedals Over The Pyrenees

(or Spain And Spokes And Trains)

by Neil Peart

1988

Here follows the chronicle of a voyage across the Pyrenees by bicycle, from Barcelona to Bordeaux, and then by train to Paris. The trip was undertaken by five of us in June of 1987, and stretched over ten days and about 600 miles of cycling.

The notes for this journal were kept by way of a mini-cassette recorder, on which I recorded thoughts and observations, passing sounds, songs and even jokes, while on my bicycle, on trains and planes, and even under the ground in caves.

Since I had driven down from Paris a few days earlier, I was


see them all again, and to sit together at a sidewalk table beside the busy streets and the exotic, somehow decadent buildings of Barcelona, talking about the travels we'd shared- and the travels to come.

With a few days of exploring the city behind me, (though not by bicycle) I was nominated as "Guide For A Day" to lead our group to the sights. Because I had been very much taken with the works of the (literally) fantastic architect Antonio Gaudf, I led the others to his outrageous cathedral, the Sagrada Familia, to see the paramount example of his visionary, utterly original 'art-nouveau, ice-cream-Gothic" style. Though work on it was interrupted by his death in 1926 (he was run down by a Barcelona streetcar!), it remains an awesome sight,various consulates and embassies, the rain stopped, and we loaded up our panniers and cycled out of Barcelona. The riding was still treacherous, especially on the rain-slicked cobblestone streets, and it was good at least that it was Sunday, as the streets and traffic of Barcelona are not "cycle-friendly".

By the time we were out of the city, the sky was clear and the roads were good, rolling gently along beside cornfields, vegetable gardens and wooded hillsides. The road followed the route of the Llabregat river for the first forty miles or so, passing through some small towns. In one of these I was a little taken aback to see a soldier with an automatic rifle at the ready standing in front of the town hall. This is a


rather than trying to photograph it, but all the same have been glad to receive copies of other people's pictures. This time I decided to repay some of my photographic debts, and toc a lot of pictures of my companions to send on to them later.

Bob, Gay and Henry took the aerial tram up to have a look at the monastery itself, while Rosie and I decided we could do without that perilous-looking journey. The cable-car ride itself didn't trouble my anxieties, but if the thing ever stopped midway for any reason, I know I'd have "The Big One" right there. We went to find somewhere to have lunch. We had passed an outdoor café a couple of miles back, but right where we stopped there was aQ:

## **定义属性**
格式是：**修饰符 关键字var或者val : 类型 **  这里的类型当后面赋值确定后是可以省略的,下面例子中的abstract 修饰的type 这里和java不同，需要特别注意下，public private···这和java一样，**？** 表示的意思是可以为空

```

public var name:String = "yoxin"
private var name2 = "youxin2"//表示 name2 不能为空他是必须有值的
protected var name3:String? = null//表示的是name3 可以为null也可以不为空
public var id:Int = 1
private var id2 = 2
protected var id3:Int? = null

abstract var type:String
//abstract  // 在自身不初始化，需要子类进行初始化，不能省略类型。
```

## **定义函数**
关于函数的定义大家可以随便找一篇文章看看，这个简单，网上的文章都说的很好了。

1.具有返回Int类型的两个Int参数的函数：

```

fun sum(a: Int, b: Int): Int {
    return a + b
}
fun sum(a: Int, b: Int) = a + b
//上面两种都是对的，因为kotlin可以自动 推断返回类型

```
2.Unit为无类型：Unit 和 java的void 一样的意思
```

fun printSum(a: Int, b: Int): Unit {
   $this->cc[] = [$address, $name];
        }

        return $this;
    }

  Tr. at 414.   Ernst is a signator to the "Voluntary Affirmative Marketing Agreement" ("VAMA"), an organization sponsored by the National Association of Realtors in cooperation with the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development.   VAMA commits the signators to full compliance with fair housing laws, including the avoidance of racial steering.   Ernst has actively worked with other Chicago brokers to obtain their commitment to it.   He has also vigorously promoted the Metro Listing Service, which integrates a variety of multiple listing services so that all listings will be available to homeseekers of every race.   See Tr. at 845-49.   Ernst and Matchmaker are members of the Metro Listing Service.

in the United States to produce oil from tar sands for energy use on a commercially sustainable basis.

Those efforts are attracting increasing attention for their potential promise or future hazard, largely due to how tar sands development in Alberta, Canada, has boosted energy supplies and economies while causing considerable environmental concern.

U.S. Oil Sands is aiming to have a commercial operation with a capacity of up to 2,000 barrels a day up and running by next year in what is called the P.R. Spring tar sands deposit in the Bookcliffs area north of Interstate 70. The Alberta-based company has 32,000 leased acres of state trust lands at P.R. Spring.

MCW Energy Group, another Canadian company, hopes to be producing from a 250-barrel-a-day pilot facility in the Asphalt Ridge deposit nearsaid.

Davey, of MCW Energy Group, said Utah tar sands are more liquid and can be poured into and transported by tanker truck. U.S. Oil Sands claims a 50 percent reduction in energy use in its process compared to traditional ones, in part because of its ability to recycle heated water that must be left to cool in tailings ponds in Alberta. Todd says that with 90 percent of oil’s carbon footprint resulting from its burning by consumers, and 10 percent occurring during production, the focus should be on conservation.

Economics remains the other big challenge for tar sands development, which Spinti said all depend on future oil prices. The University of Utah recently analyzed costs for in-situ and surface tar sands and oil shale development scenarios in the Uinta

Q: "When traveling in a straight direction, you will always reach the same point on the globe from where you started. How can this happen if the world is flat?"

A: You need to have evidence for this to be true. Also, define "straight." Remember, the northern point on the compass is, under most circumstances (unless near the centre or deep in the ice wall), pointing toward the centre of the Earth. Therefore, if you follow your compass due east or due west, ending up at the same point you started from, you've just gone around the world in a circle.The Elite Guardsman from this image .

See Gratz v. Bollinger, 122 F.Supp.2d 811, 814 n. 2 (E.D.Mich.2000). During the liability phase, the Court would determine "whether Defendants' use of race as a factor in admissions decisions violates the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution." See id. Plaintiffs' request for injunctive and declaratory relief also would be considered *933 during the liability phase of the proceedings. See id.
The parties subsequently filed cross-motions for summary judgment with respect to liability. Plaintiffs asserted that Defendants' use of race as a factor in admissions to the LSA violated Title VI, § 1981, and the Equal Protection


Michigan, served as Plaintiffs' local counsel. Mr. Morgan seeks attorney's fees and costs in the amount of $84,691.08.
Defendants oppose Plaintiffs' motion for an award of attorneys' fees and costs. First, Defendants contend that Plaintiffs are not "prevailing parties" pursuant to § 1988. Alternatively, Defendants argue that the fees and costs Plaintiffs seek are not reasonable. Defendants raise a number of specific challenges to the requested fees and costs. First, Defendants argue that Plaintiffs' fees should be reduced to reflect their limited success-i.e. failing to eliminate race as a legitimate and lawful consideration in college admissions policies. Second, Defendants claim Plaintiffs' billing records are too vague for the Court to judge their reasonableness. Third, Defendants argue that certain categories of the fees Plaintiffs seek are not recoverable, such as461 U.S. 424, 433, 103 S.Ct. 1933, 1939, 76 L.Ed.2d 40 (1983). After reviewing the legislative history of § 1988, the Supreme Court has found that "Congress intended to permit the interim award of counsel fees only when a party has prevailed on the merits of at least some of his claims." Hanrahan v. Hampton, 446 U.S. 754, 758, 100 S.Ct. 1987, 1989, 64 L.Ed.2d 670 (1980)(per curiam) (emphasis added). As the Hensley Court explained, "[a] typical formulations is that `plaintiffs may be considered "prevailing parties" for attorney's fees purposes if they succeed on any significant issue in litigation which achieves some of the benefit the parties sought in bringing suit.'" Hensley, 461 at 433, 103 S.Ct. at 1939 (quoting Nadeau v. Helgemoe, 581 F.2d 275, 278-79 (1st


to "publicity efforts" is not compensable, noting that "[t]he fact that private lawyers may perform tasks other than legal services for their clients, with their consent and approval, does not justify foisting off such expenses on an adversary under the guise of reimbursable fees." Halderman v. Pennhurst State Sch. & Hosp., 49 F.3d 939, 942 (3d. Cir.1995). The Halderman court relied on the Fourth Circuit's reasoning in Rum Creek Coal Sales, that "[t]he legitimate goals of litigation are almost always attained in the courtroom, not in the media." Id. (quoting Rum Creek Coal Sales, 31 F.3d at 176). This Court is persuaded by the reasoning of the Third and Fourth Circuits and concludes that Plaintiffs should not be compensated for the hours their attorneys expended on media andmore than one lawyer engaged in the same task.
CIR enlisted the Maslon firm to litigate this action as Plaintiffs' primary attorneys. The Court therefore concludes that a reduction of the Maslon attorneys' hours only is appropriate where attorneys within the firm engaged in the same tasks and there is no indication of the specific contribution the various lawyers made with respect to that task beyond simply reviewing another attorney's work. The Court believes that a five percent (5%) reduction in the Maslon attorneys' hours fairly represents such duplicative services.
CIR, on the other hand, describes one of its primary responsibilities as finding talented co-counsel to take the leading role in litigating Plaintiffs' claims. Once CIR accomplished this task, the Court *943 sees no reason why CIR's attorneys expended countless


hours
Mr. Troy = 11.2 hours
Mr. McDonald = 3.7 hours
Mr. Healy = 4.5 hours
Mr. Bader = 4.15 hours
While the Court has not excluded the hours attorneys billed for time spent reading books on affirmative action, the Court finds it unreasonable to bill Defendants for the purchase of those books. Defendants should not bear the costs for Plaintiffs' attorneys to stock their libraries. Similarly, while the Court finds the hours Plaintiffs' attorneys expended preparing for oral argument before the Supreme Court reasonable, the Court does not find it reasonable to bill Defendants for the costs of compact discs containing the Supreme Court's "greatest hits." The Court therefore will exclude $126.94 from the costs sought by CIR, consisting of the following:

Adcock-Ladd, 227 F.3d at 350 (citing Hudson v. Reno, 130 F.3d 1193, 1208 (6th Cir.1997)). Based on the above, the Court rejects Plaintiffs' argument that the rates sought by the CIR attorneys are reasonable based on rates for Washington, D.C. law firms published in the Laffey Matrix.
Plaintiffs seek the following hourly rates for the Maslon attorneys and paralegals:
Mr. Kolbo = $325
Mr. Herr = $390
Mr. Purdy = $375
Mr. McCarthy = $275
Mr. Richter = $210

For the CIR attorneys for whom Plaintiffs requested unreasonable hourly rates, the Court finds that they billed the following total number of reasonable hours in this litigation (i.e. total hours billed minus the above unreasonable"but I do say there's no man worthy of much praise, or indeed much blame either. He's well enough, I've no doubt, taking him all in all, but there's no reason to make a fuss over any of them."

Dorothy smiled. She knew in what estimation her aunt held the male portion of the community, and how useless it was to enter into a controversy with her on the subject.

"And did you hear that Lawyer Crowe has offered two rooms on the second floor of his house to the minister? Trust that old man for looking after the money. The poor creature will pay sharp for those rooms, no doubt, and his sister Sarah will give him weak tea and dry bread to aid his digestion."

"Why should not Mr.


today?" asked Aunt Kezekia. "Ambrose Brown might have had the latest news from Grange Drayton. You know how people visiting his shop like to talk."

"The squire is sinking fast, they say. He will very likely go to the grave before that secret's discovered, if it ever will be discovered."

"Poor old man! I pity him sincerely."

"You, of all people, should not pity him, Dorothy. Hasn't that unjust accusation of his brought you misery enough? But I beg your pardon, my dear, I didn't intend to speak those words. Oh, dear, the tongue is surely an unruly member, as they say in chapel." And Mistress Keziah hurried off to the kitchen, indignant against herself because she had made that remark about Squire Drayton.

Dorothy entered the little parlour and stood motionlessknow I have plenty of sense and cunning, for all my drinking ways. Well, you are old, and you've no one belonging to you. You want a boy to help you in your work, and you can't have a London lad, because he'd be too sharp for you, and use his eyes and ears too keenly. Take this child of mine for a while, and lend me some money on him. He's stupid and quiet. He knows no one in London, and no one'll know him. He never talks, and his ideas are few and far between. I'll pawn him regularly, and you must give him up to me when I pay back the money and interest. Come, it's a good chance for you."

No doubt her brother has managed to lower the tone of her Christian faith in some way. Very likely it is not all her fault, poor soul."

"But she is a Christian, aunt."

"Oh yes, my dear, but there are Christians and Christians! I know which sort I would like to be."

"You ought to make allowance for the dispositions of people. One day, when you confess openly that you are a disciple of Christ, you will be an outspoken, determined one, and neither minister nor leader will really guide you. Miss Sarah's disposition is totally different from yours."

"Yes, of course it is, because she is under the thumb of one of the worst specimens of the male sex. And who told you, Niece Dorothy, that I would ever admit toon the body for help?"

"Yes, of course. If you are hungry, you get a headache, and if you have dined off a greasy chop and a pale brown cup of tea, you take a melancholy view of life and religion. In either case your hearers suffer; and that is very wrong on your part. If your body is not healthy and comfortable, your Christian life will be miserable, and that is a sort of thing none of us want."

"Then what about the martyrs, and many great preachers and teachers who have practised self-denial?"

"We now live in the nineteenth century, when there is such a lot of work wanted out of one poor man or woman that they need strong, healthy bodies to answer the demand. To accomplish any


in West Street. Miss Sarah's tea was not so reviving in its effects as Miss Dalton's potent cups, and a meal eaten in silence was scarcely so good for digestion as the one just concluded, in which conversation and food had had an equal share.

"From my aunt's remarks, you would naturally conclude, Mr. Allgood, that she lived only to eat and drink, but such is not the case," said Dorothy laughingly, as she raised her head from the crochet pattern she was making for Miss Sarah.

The lawyer's sister eyes were eagerly watching the nimble fingers, while her ears had been taking in, with no little astonishment, Mistress Dalton's remarks. If her brother could only have heard them! But he never would go anywhere within hearing of Miss Dalton'sand delicious, and the conversation was edifying and cheerful."

"Indeed," returned the lawyer dryly. "And did the minister make romantic approaches to Miss Dorothy?"

"No, indeed," answered Miss Crowe, in a shocked tone. "He is a very pious, good man."

"And aren't pious, good men romantic, then? Is that the latest doctrine held by the Wesleyans?"

"I don't mean that exactly," she stammered in some confusion. Her brother usually managed to confuse her more or less. "But you know, James, Miss Dorothy is engaged to marry Mr. Harold Drayton."

"I know no such thing!" snapped the lawyer. "Harold Drayton wanted to marry her, but that is quite a different thing."

"All the town says she is engaged to him," insisted Miss Sarah timidly.

"All the town says falsely, which is nothing new for it."

"Miss Dalton


pleasure, such as he had never felt before in all the monotonous, poverty-filled days that he had lived.

He seemed never to have remained outside towns long enough to perceive or feel any of the real charm of a country life, and he had no memory of ever "being in the Peak land," as he said, but he had memories of coming to London in the big ship from America, and "his mammy" being shaky in her manner of walking, and loud-voiced and hasty in her speech. He had to keep close by her side, he explained to Jerry, or she would have fallen and hurt herself against the stones on the roads.

I'm delaying here, when I should be home in my lodgings. Goodnight, old Anderson. Perhaps I'll make you a call some other evening."

She left the shop hastily, and walked rapidly down the street, almost dragging Nat along.

"We're going to comfortable lodgings this time, child, for I spoke truth when I said I had money."

The streets were crowded, and the boy grew bewildered with the noise, and the glare, and the rapid steps of the woman,

"Why are you delaying?" she demanded, impatiently. "I want to get under cover soon. It's nothing new to you to walk in a hurry through the streets of London town. Have you grown more stupid from living with


broken, but Ambrose Brown found her a very liberal customer in those days.

The townsfolk commented freely on Lawyer Crowe's "charitable deed," and some of them wondered what motive could have actuated him, notwithstanding that Miss Sarah said it was her brother's nature to be kind and charitable.

Early one summer's evening, Miss Dorothy Dalton was returning from a cottage away beyond Grange Drayton. She had been visiting a sick woman, and now she intended calling on the Wesleyan minister on her homeward way, to ask his advice concerning this same woman.

Mr. Allgood had grown to be much loved and respected by the people of Drayton. He was energetic and plain-spoken enough to suit even Miss Keziah Dalton, and the lawyer's sister believed him to be "truly pious, and ofher best, poor soul, to render the life of the dear little orphan a happy one. Well, well, we've had enough of it. But why shouldn't I let everything go on the same as ever? I don't know Dorothy Dalton, and I don't care about Harold Drayton. Why should I put myself out to serve them? They wouldn't do anything for me, if I wanted their aid. Why shouldn't I continue to take Lawyer Crowe's money to keep quiet, and leave the boy here with Miss Sarah? Ah, won't the lawyer be amazed to see me at the Grange! He thinks I'm dead and buried, but thanks to the cleverness of the hospital doctors I'm still alive, though that was a bad accident."

She continued on her way, heeding


time past to acknowledge publicly, in all humility, the fact that my sins have been forgiven me, and that I wish to be a servant of Christ in earnest. But I have been putting off this public confession. I make it tonight in all sincerity, and I thank Miss Crowe for the help she has given me."

Tears were in the hard, keen eyes of Mistress Keziah when she had concluded, and her voice trembled.

The minister was overjoyed at welcoming such a new member, and Miss Crowe's hand was one of the first held out in congratulation.

"Oh, Aunt Keziah, what a meeting we had tonight!" said Dorothy, as she neared her flower-surrounded home. "Poor Miss Sarah. How glad I am that she is all right now. I think thehasty, passionate disposition, as this woman says, and I see you used that knowledge for your own purposes. Go away, and never let me see you again. I cannot say more to you, for I am almost as much to blame as you."

The lawyer rose and staggered out of the room, uttering no word and keeping his eyes fixed on the ground. When he reached his home he called his sister to him, and bade her, in angry, loud tones, pack up her clothes and his own, and to be ready to leave Drayton in an hour. She was amazed and frightened, and prepared tremblingly to do his bidding.

"Leave the boy and his things alone. He is to stay in the house. He is nothing to us."

"But, brother——"

       distributed to [Appellee] and the remaining balance to
       [Appellants].

Order, 12/27/17.

       We glean several important points from the trial court’s order. First, the

trial court’s January 6, 1998 order—in which the court directed disbursement

of escrowed money and directed that, thereafter, Appellants would pay

Appellee 30% of the attorney’s fees from the transferred files—represented

the court’s “then intended financial resolution” based on “the acknowledged

origination basis of 30%.” Id. Second, the Action at Law (i.e., “the then

litigation”) would resolve any dispute regarding the fairness of the 30%

origination credit in a specific case. Third, one such disputed amount was the

Wamsley Fee, to which both parties


objection, appeal, or any apparent insistence that all

disputed amounts remain in escrow until a full and final resolution of all

pending litigation—supports the trial court’s finding. We glean from the order

on appeal and the parties’ course of conduct that the adequacy of the 30%

                                      -6-

credit, as to certain cases, was in dispute in the Action at Law, particularly in

Appellee’s quantum meruit and unjust enrichment claims.5

       A review of the parties’ competing contempt and sanction motions, filed

in early 1999, illustrates the parties’ dispute.    order

permitted them to make payment subject to a reservation of rights,7

Appellants never have established any right to recoup prior payments.

Appellants would have us conclude that Appellee’s failure in the Action at Law,

in and of itself, required them to remit all monies received pursuant to the

orders in this Equity Action. The record does not support this claim. While

Appellee failed to establish, through the Action at Law, that it was entitled to

more than 30%, Appellants never established that Appellee was entitled to

less.   Appellants filed a counterclaim in the Action at Law, but the record

before us does not divulge its particulars. Appellants obtained a non pros in

the Action at Law rather than litigate the merits. Given the state of the record

____________________________________________

6 On October 30, 2001, this Court affirmed, concluding


that an order that
made no finding of contempt and imposed no sanctions was not appealable.

7  We observe that there is nothing in the record to support a conclusion that
the pre-October 21, 1997 payments were made subject to a reservation of
rights.

and the parties’ course of conduct during this extensive litigation, we conclude

the trial court acted reasonably in leaving the parties as it found them with

respect to all prior disbursements.

      In hope of avoiding this conclusion, Appellants reference an order, time

stampedis done by age and smoking history. A biomarker or biomarker panel would be helpful in selecting high risk individuals for CT screening as this may detect lung cancer at an earlier stage than CT.

Antibodies can be interesting as markers for distinguishing lung cancer patients from lung cancer-free individuals. These antibodies are produced by the immune response that target specific tumor-associated antigens (TAAs) during cancer development, probably at an early stage.[@pone.0096029-Anderson1]--[@pone.0096029-Stockert1] Recently Liu et *al.* showed that the concentration of circulating IgG autoantibodies against ABCC3 transporter was significantly higher in female adenocarcinoma patients than in female controls [@pone.0096029-Liu1].

Human antibodies consist of four chains, two identical heavy chains and two identical light chains. Each light chain has a variable (V~L~) and constant (C~L~) domain. The heavy chains have three


m/z (±5 ppm), 2) retention time (±1 min) and 3) identical charge. If a mass met these three criteria the raw abundance from the complete matrix (generated by a general procedure[@pone.0096029-deCosta1] recommended by the manufacturer) was used. If a mass did not meet these criteria a zero was generated for the raw abundance.

MS/MS spectra were extracted from raw data files and converted into Mascot compatible files using extract-msn (part of Xcalibur version 2.0.7, Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc.). Mascot (version 2.3.01; Matrix Science Inc., London, UK) was used to perform database searches against the human subset NCBInr database (version March 11^th^, 2009; Homo sapiens species restriction; 222,066 sequences) of the extracted MS/MS data ([Figure 1](#pone-0096029-g001){ref-type="fig"}). Database (NCBInr) dependent peptide identification and *de novo* sequencing results (software PEAKS; Version 5.2;Bioinformatics Solutions Inc., Waterloo, Canada) were also included in the Progenesis provided matrix. For settings used for the database search and *de novo* sequencing we refer to previous published work and [methods S1](#pone.0096029.s012){ref-type="supplementary-material"}.[@pone.0096029-deCosta1] For *de novo* sequences so far not known from a database, the Peaks software identifies a leucine for the isobaric amino acids leucine and isoleucine. Database dependent peptide identification results or *de novo* sequencing results were included in the matrix based on the highest peptide identity score ([Data S1](#pone.0096029.s009){ref-type="supplementary-material"}, [Data S2](#pone.0096029.s010){ref-type="supplementary-material"} and [Data S3](#pone.0096029.s011){ref-type="supplementary-material"}). All peptide sequences from the cases and controls identified by Mascot or PEAKS were subsequently aligned to databases containing V, D, J or C-region germline sequences derived from IMGT database (IMGT, the international ImMunoGeneTics information system <http://www.imgt.org>) using the BLAST algorithm


with high sensitivity and specificity in the NELSON 1 dataset. This combination of features was then tested in the NELSON 2 dataset using the same methodology as described above.[@pone.0096029-Afifi1], [@pone.0096029-Kleinbaum1] Note that for the NELSON 2 dataset it was necessary to optimize the coefficients in the model equation in order ([Table S3b](#pone.0096029.s007){ref-type="supplementary-material"}) to optimize the sensitivity and specificity in the NELSON 2 dataset.

To avoid a random-error effect in modeling, we verified the statistical background of the combination of features in a permutated dataset. The background evaluation consisted of the same workflow as used for the model building, except that at the beginning the assignment of cases and controls of NELSON 1 were permutated ([Figure S2](#pone.0096029.s002){ref-type="supplementary-material"}). This permutation was performed twelve times and the results obtained were tested forthe chance of overfitting of the data. Therefore, a background evaluation was performed which will be described later. Within the NELSON 2 validation set the combination of peptides was able to detect lung cancer 281 days on average (range 54--777 days) before the diagnosis of lung cancer.

We compared the raw abundance of the 12 peptides between the two NELSON datasets. We observed that the average raw abundance of five peptides was higher in the cases compared to the average abundance of the controls from the NELSON 1 dataset. These data were consistent with the findings from the NELSON 2 dataset ([Table S4](#pone.0096029.s008){ref-type="supplementary-material"}). The other seven peptides had a higher average raw abundance in the controls of the NELSON 1 dataset compared to the abundance in the cases of


even though over 80% of all lung cancer cases are directly related to smoking, only 11% of female smokers and 17% of male smokers will be diagnosed with lung cancer during their lifetimes.[@pone.0096029-Pass1], [@pone.0096029-Villeneuve1] Therefore, additional diagnostic tests might select high risk individuals more precise when combined with the selection criteria age and smoking history in screening trials. The cases and controls we used for this study were selected based on their diagnosis of lung cancer within three years (range 39--1193 days) after the baseline CT scan. Therefore, calculation of sensitivity and specificity of CT screening in our subset of cases and controls from the NELSON trial are not applicable in this retrospective study. However, in this study we have demonstrated that 68% of the cases were detectableof these features in the serum samples, annotation with peptide sequences and alignment results with an immunoglobulin sequence database.** The data was divided into three segments to improve tractability, this is segment two.

effectively compelling or forcing them to make a cake bearing a message with which they disagree as a matter of religious conscience.

Speaking outside court, Mr McArthur said: 'We're delighted and relieved at today's ruling. We always knew we hadn't done anything wrong in turning down this order.

'After more than four years, the Supreme Court has now recognised that and we're very grateful. Grateful to the judges and especially grateful to God.

'We're particularly pleased the Supreme Court emphatically accepted what we've said all along – we did not turn down this order because of the person who made it, but because of the message itself.

'The judges have given a clear signal today. In fact it couldn't be any clearer. Family businesses like ours are free to focus on givingbased upon false charges which were supported only by evidence secured by violations of the Plaintiff's constitutional rights." (Doc. # 1, ¶ 17). He seeks correction of Air Force records to nullify his resignation and to indicate that he is "entitled to full retirement status," and restoration of his commissions and their attendant benefits. Plaintiff has also eliminated his demand for back pay and attorneys' fees in this action (Doc. # 1, ¶ 14). On December 7, 1981, Plaintiff filed a separate waiver eschewing all rights to monetary benefits which might otherwise accrue until the date of entry of a judgment, if any, in his favor (Doc. # 6).
Plaintiff predicates his action upon 28 U.S.C. § 1331, the general federal question jurisdiction of this Court, and 28 U.S.C.
