($> \!5\,{\rm kV}$) due to their low kinetic energy of up to $750\,{\rm eV}$ only. The trapped electrons can produce ions and electrons in the residual gas of the vacuum, and the presence of the electric field can accelerate them causing production of secondary charges up to electrical break down. For instance, even in the $a$SPECT neutron $\beta$-decay apparatus, with its excellent vacuum conditions, this effect has been problematic[@Zimmer2000a; @Konrad2009a]. The vertical configuration avoids the electron trapping problem since the upper coil is not required for UCN confinement. Moreover, this allows electron counting as the detection scheme and thus removes the need for the high-voltage system.

A key systematic effect is poor cleaning of above-threshold UCNs from the trap. For a horizontal configuration, a scheme of ramping up andcatheter, inserting the end of the catheter through the skin into a bodily lumen, advancing the catheter in the bodily lumen to a desired treatment location, expanding the stent at the treatment location, and removing the catheter from the lumen. In the case of a balloon expandable stent, the stent is mounted about a balloon disposed on the catheter. Mounting the stent typically involves compressing or crimping the stent onto the balloon. The stent is then expanded by inflating the balloon. The balloon may then be deflated and the catheter withdrawn. In the case of a self-expanding stent, the stent may be secured to the catheter via a retractable sheath or a sock. When the stent is in a desired bodily location, the sheath may be withdrawn which


may be subject to flexure. The material from which the stent is constructed must allow the stent to undergo expansion. Once expanded, the stent must maintain its size and shape throughout its service life despite the various forces that may come to bear on it, including the cyclic loading induced by the beating heart. Finally, the stent must be biocompatible so as not to trigger any adverse vascular responses.
The structure of a stent is typically composed of scaffolding that includes a pattern or network of interconnecting structural elements or struts. The scaffolding can be formed from wires, tubes, or sheets of material rolled into a cylindrical shape. The scaffolding is conventionally designed so that the stent can be radially contracted (to allow crimping) and radially expanded (to allowfor the United States, it doesn't look like it has been growing significantly, but I hope it would. The second thing is, it's a very large sum of money that we're talking about.. so if more of that were to go to highly effective charities, it would do a lot more good. So even if we can't actually grow it, which would be disappointing, we could certainly shift it towards the better charities.

What are the implications of your thoughts on charity for the arts? It seems that your position tends to cause outrage among fans of the arts who think that you're not counting the arts as a real charity.

there be a maximum amount of wealth that anyone can have?

PS: I don't know that I want to say there's a maximum amount that anyone can have. I do think there are many things we could do, and used to do, to redistribute, that we don't. The move against death duties [inheritance taxes] seems to me a strange thing to have happened, because if you believe in equal opportunity, the idea that you tax someone's estate when they die seems a pretty sensible way of getting redistribution.

Is someone having an extreme amount of wealth a de facto indicator of a moral failing on their part?

PS: Well, if somebody has an extreme amount of wealth and is not using it for some good purpose, only for their own enjoymentyou know, I think that's substantial, but sure, I'm still living very comfortably, and I could still give more, so that's one of the things I suppose I struggle with still.

For people who still need a New Year's resolution for, is there any pithy thought you have for how to live a more ethical life in 2014?

PS: I would see this as the year of deciding to make your life an effective force for good in the world. Think about: How much good am I doing? How can I do more? I want to do more good in the world in 2014 than I did in 2013, and I will then want to go on and do more still in 2015. So push yourself to your personal best,


Identification of a De Novo 3bp Deletion in CRYBA1/A3 Gene in Autosomal Dominant Congenital Cataract.
Autosomal dominant congenital cataract (ADCC) is the most common form of inherited cataracts and accounts for one-third of congenital cataracts. Heterozygous null mutations in the crystallin genes are the major cause of the ADCC. This study aims to detect the mutational spectrum of four crystallin genes, CRYBA1/A3, CRYBB1, CRYBB2 and CRYGD in an Iranian family. Genomic DNA was isolated from whole blood cells from theproband and other family members. The coding regions and flanking intronicsequences of crystalline genes were analyzed by Sanger sequencing in aproband with ADCC. The identified mutation was further evaluated in available family members. To predict the potential protein partners of CRYBA1/A3, we also used an in-silico analysis. A de novoheterozygous deletion (c.272-274delGAG, p.G91del) in exon 4 of CRYBA1/A3 gene, leading to a deletion of Glycine at codon 91 was found. This genetic variation did not change the reading frame of CRYBA1 protein. In conclusion, we identified a de novo in-frame 3-bp deletion in the proband with an autosomal dominant congenital cataract, but not in her parents, in an Iranian family. This mutation has occurred de novo on a paternal gamete during spermatogenesis. The in-silico results predicted the interaction of CRYBA1 protein with the other CRY as well as proteins responsible for eye cell signaling.


Q:

How to load long-time-taking content?

We have a page that takes very long to load (approx. 15 seconds, might be even more for some clients) as the data it generates is heavy and slow.
While we are trying to directly speed it up, 15 is so far the lowest we can go for now (used to be more!) and since it's the first loading page of our web app, it can be very frustrating (some people want to navigate away and have to wait for page load).
What I'm asking is, would it ruin the user experience if we loaded the fast components first, showed the page, and then showed an AJAX load on the parts that take a while to load, so that users can reach the page fasterLondon: MIT Press.

16, 24, 40, and 52 during the first year of study; then every 4 months to month 60. BMD of the lumbar spine, total hip, femoral neck, and one-third distal radius was assessed via dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry at baseline and yearly thereafter.

Calcium and phosphorus levels were measured using commercially available assays (ADVIA^®^; Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics, Tarrytown, NY). Inorganic phosphate was measured and expressed as milligrams per deciliter of phosphorus; the standard conversion factor of 0.323 for inorganic phosphate was used to generate the data in International System of Units (mmol/L) ([@bib22]). Concentrations of 1,25\[OH\]~2~D were determined by liquid chromatography--tandem mass spectrometry. Albumin-corrected serum calcium level was determined using the following formula: corrected calcium = serum calcium + 0.8 × (4 -- serum albumin). eGFR was calculated using then = 40) at month 60. The mean change from baseline was −8.5 ± 8.29 mg^2^/dL^2^ \[−0.7 ± 0.67 mmol^2^/L^2^; [Fig. 2(d)](#fig2){ref-type="fig"}\].

Mean eGFR by the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration equation was also stable: 77.7 ± 17.67 mL/min/1.73 m^2^ (n = 49) at baseline and 78.0 ± 18.80 mL/min/1.73 m^2^ (n = 40) at month 60 \[mean change from baseline, 2.3 ± 11.81 mL/min/1.73 m^2^; n

Of the 12 patients who did not achieve the efficacy end point, eight (66.7%) received the maximum dose, two (16.7%) received 75 µg/d, and two (16.7%) received 50 µg/d. Thus, four patients did not achieve the efficacy end point but received less than the maximum dose of rhPTH(1-84).

Bone turnover and BMD {#s22}
---------------------

Mean serum concentrations of all BTMs increased from baseline with rhPTH(1-84) treatment, reaching a plateau 6 to 16 months after initiation of treatment, then declining and remaining within normal limits for CTX and BAP, and slightly above the normal limit for P1NP ([Fig. 7](#fig7){ref-type="fig"}). Baseline, maximum, and month 60 values for BTMs areRACE.

BTMs, which are low in patients with hypoparathyroidism, increased from baseline and peaked at around 1 year after the initiation of rhPTH(1-84) treatment, then declined but remained above pretreatment values through year 5. Similar trends in the pattern of BTMs have been reported in the HEXT study ([@bib16], [@bib18]) but with differences in the magnitude of increase and time course of change that may be due to differing treatment regimens. The findings from these studies suggest the initial large increase in BTMs with rhPTH(1-84) treatment is temporary ([@bib18], [@bib25]) and is followed by a new steady state of more normal bone turnover with continued therapy. Changes in calcium and phosphorus flux from bone may at least partially explain the trend for increases in calcium supplements later in the


treatment period, but this was not tested directly in this study.

BMD is often elevated in patients with longstanding hypoparathyroidism ([@bib26]). In this study, no meaningful changes in BMD Z*-*scores were observed at the lumbar spine, hip (total), and hip (femoral neck), whereas a decrease in Z*-*score occurred at the distal one-third radius. These results are similar to trends seen in the HEXT trial at 6 years of follow-up ([@bib18]) and are not unexpected given the differential effects of PTH on cortical and trabecular bone ([@bib27]--[@bib29]). Longer observations will be necessary to obtain more insights into the changes in bone density and bone quality during treatment with rhPTH(1-84).

One patient discontinued this 5-year study because of an AE, which was not considered related to treatment. The AE profile of rhPTH(1-84)the motions. For the most part, a similar factual background gives rise to identical questions of law in each matter. In each, the defendant county assessed and levied a real property tax based upon what the Assessor of the county determined to be a possessory interest in National Forest lands, situated within the county. Whatever interest the plaintiff may have in these lands of the United States is created and transferred by timber contracts *1063 entered into by the plaintiff, as a "timber operator", (or its assignor) and the Forest Service of the United States Department of Agriculture. The relevant terms of the various contracts are apparently identical although the contract involved in C-71 1723 (hereinafter "Diamond") is not part of the record. The contract gives the plaintiff


that the permittees are presently enjoying use of the federal lands for their [sic] cattle for the duration of the permit". It cannot be said that the decision in Archer goes so far beyond the Supreme Court's own decision in El Tejon, that that latter court would not, in all probability, follow the same rule.
The decision in County of Los Angeles v. Continental Corporation, 113 Cal.App. 2d 207, 248 P.2d 157 (1952), hearing den'd, would only support the trend of the previously cited decisions. That case involved permits for extraction of oil and gas from public lands. The Court held that the parties could not control, by title of the instrument, the interest created, and found that it at least created a profit a prendre, which was taxableimposed no unconstitutional burden on the Federal Government, 327 U.S. at 485, 66 S.Ct. 663, and second, that by the terms of *1070 what is now § 480, Congress declined to accept exclusive jurisdiction over the area of the National Forest, and that the state, therefore, has "territorial jurisdiction to lay the tax upon activities carried on within the forest reserve purchased by the United States". 327 U.S. at 487, 66 S.Ct. at 670. The conclusion that the state has "legislative jurisdiction" to levy the tax extended both to land which was in the public domain at the time Arkansas was granted statehood, as well as to land thereafter acquired by the United States.
That decision construed both the Federal legislation and the legislation of Arkansas which consented to


the purchase of certain lands for National Forest purposes. Since the parties have not cited any legislation of California consenting to the purchase of any of the lands on which the plaintiffs hold timber contracts, and have not sufficiently identified those lands to permit a determination of the existence of such legislation, and if so, of its provisions, the Court is unable to resolve the question here precisely in the manner the Supreme Court used in Wilson v. Cook, supra. It is at least doubtful that any act of the Legislature of California could effectively give up jurisdiction in the face of the provisions codified in § 480, but that is not the issue that the plaintiffs have raised here, and need not be decided.

humble methods familiar to anyone who shops at Ikea: simple modular products that have been manufactured at scale and that snap together quickly on site.

The problem with solar power is that the sun doesn’t always shine. And the solution that’s emerging is another cheap-and-cheerful, familiar technology: the battery. Lithium-ion batteries to store solar energy are becoming increasingly commonplace, and mass-market electric cars would represent a large battery on every driveway. Several giant factories are under construction, most notably a Tesla factory that promises to manufacture 35GWh worth of batteries each year by 2020; that is more than the entire global production of batteries in 2013. Battery prices have fallen as quickly as those of solar panels. Such Ikea-fication is a classic instance of toilet-paper technology: the same oldyour Foreman server as the Puppet master.

our study, although the majority of women showed a high level of knowledge of the broad dietary recommendations, their awareness of the detailed messages was poor. For example, women were aware of the general key dietary approaches to manage excessive gestational weight gain by reducing the intake of added sugar and fat and increasing the intake of dietary fibre. However, lack of knowledge was evident for the more detailed questions about how many serves there are a day, how much a serve is, and the presence, type, and energy density of fat. These results are in line with earlier studies \[[@B14], [@B21], [@B23]\]. This suggests nutrition promotion campaigns about broadly based dietary approaches have effectively reached the public including pregnant women and have been successful in increasing theiroutside the scope of current study that need to be addressed in future studies include the following: "To what extent can women apply their current knowledge about the general dietary guidance in practice?"; "do dietary practices pose any harm (in terms of insufficient intake or overconsumption) to their babies and their own health?"; and "what time, type, level, and format of information are needed to initiate healthy eating behaviours and better assist women in preventing excessive GWG?"

5. Conclusion {#sec5}
=============

The findings of this study shed light on pregnant women\'s level of knowledge about GWG, and physical and dietary recommendations. These findings reinforce the importance for health care providers who see pregnant women on regular basis to give targeted, accurate, and practical advice to all pregnant women. Further it highlights


the particular needs of overweight and obese pregnant women for targeted attention to the recommended guidelines for healthy weight gain during pregnancy. As women\'s behaviours have been found to be influenced by their caregivers\' guidance about GWG \[[@B42], [@B43]\], all health professionals who provide care for pregnant women should be prepared to counsel women on the benefits of gaining weight within the appropriate range during their pregnancy and to inform them about IOM\'s guidelines.

At the Michigan Democratic Party convention on April 16, many members of Collison’s caucus were shocked when Thanedar attempted to snatch the microphone from her and then tried to talk over her at the caucus’ break-out meeting. A video of the awkward incident posted by Joseph on social media, predictably, went viral in Michigan’s political circles.

“Shri terrifies me; I don’t trust him,” Collison said. “I don’t know what he’s actually going to do. I don’t know what he really believes. It kind of seems like he’s just for what’s popular right now. For as muchas he says he’s a Bernie guy, he’s spent way too much time swooning over Republicans. A lot of people voted for Bernie who were unexpected Bernie voters, that’s true. But what did he do for Bernie? He didn’t even donate to Bernie. I mean, you’re a millionaire and Bernie was obviously the underdog. If you supported him, why would you not donate to him?”

Beyond the worries over what Thanedar really believes is a more pragmatic fear among Democratic strategists: that he will eke past Whitmer and win the nomination, only to have his business record vivisected by the Republican candidate, expected to be either Attorney General Bill Schuette or Lt. Gov. Brian Calley.

The cost-benefit ratio for these drugs comes down to a personal choice but one that can be informed.

Informing free will in this case means allowing and facilitating individual awareness of how a drug interacts with his/her mind. Effects and side effects are likely to be individual and need to be appreciated individually in order to facilitate choices. Both objective measures of intelligence(s) and subjective experience are important.

William James advocated introspection as an essential aspect of psychological research \[[@B4]\] including the effects of alcohol and nitrous oxide \[[@B5]\]. Introspection has largely been supplanted by objective and operational methods in most of psychology, but


potential problems with respect to drugs that alter the mind. Having said that, it is reasonable to entertain the hypothesis that the mind can inform as well as fool itself. Introspection is a name for processes whereby the mind of an individual reflects on and assesses itself. If the optimistic hypothesis is accepted, then a further hypothesis is that all introspection is not equal and some modes of introspection are better than others. A further hypothesis is that enhancement and education of introspection is possible.

If it is possible to enhance pharmacological introspection, there is a field of research awaiting development to enhance and cultivate introspection directed toward understanding what drugs do to an individual\'s mind. More specific and guided forms of introspection and self observation could be proposedinteractions. New interpretations would become available to pharmacogenetics with regard to mind-altering drugs\[[@B19],[@B20]\]. At an arguably extreme level of analogy, certain genes are key to the human ability to learn language\[[@B21]\] yet there is no apparent genetic specificity for one human language over another.

If the hypotheses in this article turn out correct, i.e. if skills of increased sensitivity to mind altering pharmacology can be cultivated, further work would be needed to explore their implications for drug use and abuse in different situations and contexts. A bridge between the laboratory and the library or the street would include the effect of context as well as internal state on the ability to judge pharmacology and dose.

This article proposes a series of four interrelated hypotheses that have the virtue of being


gone further. According to a U.S. official, the CIA believes Russia was trying to tip the election in Trump's favor. White House Spokesman Josh Earnest argues that's not much of a surprise.

JOSH EARNEST: You didn't need a security clearance to figure out who benefited from malicious Russian cyber-activity.

HORSLEY: Earnest notes that hackers and their helpers only published embarrassing emails stolen from the Democratic National Committee and the Clinton campaign, not their counterparts on the Republican side. Earnest says there's no evidence Russian hackers interfered with the actual casting or counting of votes on Election Day, but President Obama has ordered a full investigation.

There have also been calls for congressional inquiries. Republican Senate Leader Mitch McConnell says any breach of American cybersecurity is disturbing.

unhealthy amount of time with my hand glued to my phone. I started to compare myself to others, questioning if I was as accomplished as they seemed. On Instagram, I’d scroll through all these perfect images of perfect looking people and close the app feeling insecure about my body, my looks and my life in general. So I decided to take action – a full 6 weeks off Facebook, Instagram and Snapchat.

Quick disclaimer – I did keep one form of Social Media: Twitter. The reason for this is because I read so many blogs and Twitter is my main source of reading the news. Before embarking on my detox, I did, however, curate my timeline. I went from following just over 1200 accounts to a now very smallme realise just the extent of how many times a day I picked up my phone, solely for the purposes of checking social media and it was much more than I’d probably like to admit! I started to slowly realise I was in denial with just how much social media was an integral part of my day. After those 2 days, it became really, quite easy. So easy, my break lasted a whole 6 weeks and the only reason I returned was because I confidently felt like I’d broken the habit, I wanted to get in touch with people I hadn’t spoken with and knew that going forward, it wouldn’t be something I wouldn’t spend as much time on.

I was more productive and present than ever

I’m one of


those people with a long list of things they want to do but proclaim they never have the time to do it. Total procrastinator. I love reading but I barely made time for it. I love cooking but always opted to go for the quicker option and only every so often, make homemade dinners from scratch. When I switched the time I spent on my phone with things I wanted to do, I was amazed at how much more productive I was. I set myself a goal of reading 30 books this year, one that I really thought I would struggle to achieve yet here I am, on my 28th book of the year. The time I lay on my sofa at night scrolling Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, Snapchatand repeating it all over again, I managed to use the time to read and I got through books at a much faster pace. I now 5 out of 7 nights a week, cook from scratch and that is something I’ve found very therapeutic for my anxiety. I also noticed how much more present I was – when I spent time with my friends or family, there was never anything to distract me. If I went for a coffee, there was no need to pull my phone out and take a picture. There was no need really at all, to have my phone out when I spent time with someone. I started to think back on all the times I’ve had conversations where I’ve been glued to my


The effect of maitake mushrooms on liver and serum lipids.
To determine the efficacy of maitake mushrooms in inhibiting the elevation of liver and serum lipids in rats. Sprague-Dawley rats with hyperlipidemia were used to measure and compare the values of cholesterol, phospholipids, and triglycerides between cholesterol-fed rats and rats whose diets were fortified with 20% maitake mushroom dried powder. The values in maitake-fed rats were consistently less than those in the basic cholesterol-fed rats. The value of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, which usually is decreased by taking high-cholesterol feed, maintained the level that it had at the beginning of the experiment. Weights of extirpated liver and epididymal fat pads were significantly less than those in the basic feed group. Our data suggest that maitake mushrooms have the ability toalter lipid metabolism by inhibiting both the accumulation of liver lipids and the elevation of serum lipids. Further studies are needed to elucidate the mechanism of activity of maitake mushrooms and to establish whether their action in humans is similar to that in the animal model tested here.

# Recent Developments

This brief concluding chapter will focus on two exponents of more recent theoretically motivated history and philosophy of science. As we shall see, Ian Hacking and Bruno Latour both exemplify, if in different forms, the return to a theme that was to a large extent anathema for French poststructuralism discussed in the previous chapter: the question of a historical anthropology of the sciences.

The Canadian philosopher of science Ian Hacking did his doctorate at Cambridge. He went on to teach in Toronto and later at the Collège de France in Paris. In his Representing and Intervening, he argued that the publication of Thomas Kuhn's Structure of Scientific Revolutions had


at the end of the century, according to Latour, the double event of the collapse of the socialist camp and the threat of a global ecological crisis point to a limit from which it will be possible both to understand the previous adventure of modernity in a new way and to newly conceive a nonmodern future.

The means for this change of mind, according to Latour, can only be provided by anthropology, which has long been concerned with "the seamless fabric of what I shall call 'nature-culture.'" It is just that up to now, in the self-understanding of our modern age, it is only other people who have been subjected to this mode of anthropological attention and are to be understood accordingly, whereas we have devoted ourselves to theall the people gathered.

Alberta Parks says a bear that killed a hunter in Kananaskis Country last week will not be destroyed.

Rick Cross was mauled when he accidentally got between a mother bear with a fresh kill and her cub.

Officials suggested on Monday it was a defensive attack.

Richard Starke, the minister for Alberta's parks, tweeted that leaving the mother bear and her cub in their habitat is a good decision.

A bear closure remains in effect for the Picklejar Creek, Mist Creek and Mist Ridge areas.

Kim Titchener with WildSmart, a conservation group that tries to reduce negative interactions between humans and wildlife, says bears are trying to consume as much food as possible in preparation for winter.

She says there are some steps to take in the event of a bear attack.

EDITOR’S LETTER

KEYNOTEA look at the Apple keynote presentations that ledout as the possibility that the halogen-based retardants generate noxious gases such as dioxine when they are burned. Accordingly, safety upon incineration of their wastes and thermal recycle is questioned. Phosphorus-based flame retardants have been developed to substitute for halogen-based flame retardants. There is the possibility that after the landfill operations, phosphorus is eluted from the wastes to contaminate soil and water; safety to humans and harmony with the environment is insufficient. Further, resins to which phosphorus-based flame retardants are added may be susceptible to adverse influences on practically important properties such as moldability, heat resistance and so on. To avoid the above-mentioned problems, flame retardants that contain neither halogen nor phosphorus have been under development. For example, metal hydroxides attract attention as having harmony with the environment,


generating no noxious gases when they are disposed of.
However, when metal hydroxides are added to lactic acid based resins, degradation of the lactic acid based resins proceeds in the presence of water or the like, which causes a decrease in the molecular weight and mechanical strength of the lactic acid based resins and the like. To impart sufficient flame retardance to a resin, a large amount (for example, about 150 mass parts or more per 100 mass parts of resin) of a metal hydroxide must be added to the resin. With an increasing amount of the metal hydroxide used, the resin undergoes an increasing rate of a reduction in the mechanical strength thereof. Japanese Patent Application Laid-open No. Hei 8-252823 discloses addition of aluminum hydroxide or magnesium hydroxidespeaking their traditional language more frequently, and consuming more traditional food and medicine.

P4. A voltage source current measurement test is performed by measuring the current when each of voltages V1 through V4 is applied as to whether or not the current is within a pre-set range of values. A current source voltage measurement test is also performed, when a prescribed current is applied to the pins P1 through P4, as to whether or not a prescribed voltage is generated in the pins P1 through P4.
In the matrix circuit 20 shown in FIG. 7, when the switches S are ON state, lines connected by the switch are maintained at the same electrical potential, but when the switches are OFF state, a potential difference corresponding to the voltages V1 through V4 is presented across the switches S. Consequently, when a semiconductor switchand a light-receiving element, or other semiconductor switch. In the state shown in FIG. 8A in which the switches S1 and S2 are ON, and the switch S3 is OFF, the voltage VM applied to the input terminal IN is applied across the OFF semiconductor switch S3, and the leak current IR is caused to flow through the semiconductor switch S3 by application of this voltage VM.
In the state shown in FIG. 8B, in which the switches S1 and S2 are OFF, and the switch S3 is ON, a non-conducting state exists between the input terminal IN and the output terminal OUT, and the voltage applied to the input terminal IN is not fed to the output terminal. Since in this case the voltage VM applied to the


weighted least-squares method (Reid et al., 1992), we fit the phase of the modulated response as a function of temporal frequency with a line whose slope gives an estimate of the steady-state response delay (Levitt et al., 2001), here termed “integration time” (Reid et al., 1992).

We fit contrast response data with the function introduced by Enroth-Cugell and Robson (1966): 3

with corrections for response phase variability that were described in detail by Levitt et al. (2001). Here, C is the stimulus contrast, k is a scaling constant, b is a baseline offset ≤0, and C0 is a saturation constant representing the contrast at which logarithmic contrast saturation begins. When b is 0, as is the case for almost all of the cells in adult LGN, the initial slope of4 weeks, and 28.4 ips in adults; the median rates followed a similar trend (14.3, 22.3, and 23.1 ips, respectively); M- and P-cells improved at similar rates. We also looked to see whether responses fell off significantly during a typical stimulus period (2.5 or 5 s), and found little evidence for adaptation or fatigue in this time window in cells recorded at any age. It may be that the fatigability and low firing rates in previous studies were attributable in part to the use of barbiturate anesthetics, which in our experience depress neural activity more in young animals than do the opiates we used in this study.

Spatial properties

The spatial frequency tuning of four cells is illustrated in the left panels of Figure 1a-d. Each smooth curve drawn through


near-doubling in characteristic spatial frequency during the first 4 weeks postnatally (Fig. 2, b vs d) and a very modest improvement later (d vs f). Between the age of 1 week and adulthood, characteristic spatial frequency increased by a factor of 2-2.5 for both cell populations. Figure 2 suggests that this change might occur earlier in M-cells than P-cells. To test whether this difference in developmental rates was significant, we plotted the logarithm of characteristic spatial frequency for the two cell groups as a function of the logarithm of age, and fit the result with a second-order polynomial. Plotted in this way (see Fig. 10a), the curve for M-cells is convex, whereas that for P-cells is concave. The coefficient of the square term in the fit was thereforerepresentative M- and P-cells from the 1-week-old and adult groups are shown in Figure 1a-d (right panels); the characteristic temporal frequency for each cell is indicated by an arrow. The major change during development is in the range of high temporal frequencies to which neurons will respond. The tuning of the LGN P-cell from the 1 week old (Fig. 1a, right) showed a characteristic temporal frequency of 4.9 Hz, more than two octaves lower than the value of 26.1 Hz for the adult example P-cell (Fig. 1b, right). The 1 week M-cell had a characteristic temporal frequency of 24.9 Hz, much higher than that of the P-cell from the same 1 week old, yet an octave lower than the value of 50.6 Hz for the adult M-cell (Fig.

Smooth curves show fits of Equation 4 (see Materials and Methods). parvo, Parvocellular; magno, magnocellular.

Responsivity is the initial slope of the contrast response function (Hochstein and Shapley, 1976), and we used this measure to quantify contrast gain (Levitt et al., 2001). Our measure differs in one important respect from the one used in previous studies, for reasons that canthis model, perhaps because many of our receptive fields were not in the central fovea where cone density changes are measured. In addition, the maturation of M-cell spatial properties is significantly faster than for P-cells, an effect for which cone migration offers no obvious explanation. It is also evident from Figure 10a that, on average (gray line), behavioral changes in peak spatial frequency (small circles) occur much later and are greater in magnitude than the neural changes we measured and modeled. We conclude that these behavioral changes are attributable to limits set later in the visual system.

Figure 10b shows a similar analysis of contrast response, including our LGN cell populations, ideal observer predictions, and behavioral data. In this case also, the behavioral changes happen much later and are


sensitivity? The largest developmental changes we observed were in temporal resolution, and the poor response of many infant LGN cells to high temporal frequency stimuli was very obvious. The ideal observer model makes no predictions for temporal sensitivity (Kiorpes et al., 2003), and behavioral data on the development of temporal contrast sensitivity in infant monkeys are not available. The apparently paradoxical difference between the extensive development of temporal resolution (Fig. 3), and the more modest improvement in integration time (Figs. 4, 5), also calls for explanation. One account for this behavior might be changes in the depression properties of synapses in infants. Chance et al. (1998) showed in a theoretical study that short-term synaptic depression can act as a nonlinear low-pass filter. Such a filter leaves transient responseserror.

As a longstanding veteran of Magic: the Gathering, I have watched many players come and go throughout the years. In fact, when I look at the number of people I’ve played with since the early 90’s, the number of friends and family who once participated in the game but no longer do is far larger than those I know who still do. That the list of former players is sizable doesn’t surprise me – there are a multitude of reasons people quit. Rather, what strikes me when I look back is how many of those players were people I taught how to play (or learned with concurrently).

Each day the hunters sling their arrows at the otters, and each night they spend hours skinning the creatures, abandoning their bloody carcasses on the beach to be washed away by the tide. Tribe members watch and count and are glad because of all the beads and other things that each pelt represents. Karana never watches the killing, for the otter are her friends, and watching them frolic in the sea is better than any kind of beads around her neck.

One morning she tells her father that there has been too much killing, that the otters are nearly gone. He laughs and tells her she is only looking at this side of the

Summer is the best time on the Island of the Blue Dolphins, for the weather is good and the wind from the west is mild. Each day, Karana is hopeful she will see a ship on the horizon. Once she sees a small object and grows hopeful, but when water rises from it she knows it is just a whale. The first winter storm crushes her hopes of being rescued, at least for another season, and her heart is filled with loneliness. She had believed Matasaip before, but now her hopes are dead. She does notto the thrower’s wrist. It is an...

It is a beautiful spring on the island, and flowers of all kinds are blooming everywhere. Many kinds of birds also visit the island, including black-and-white birds which peck holes in the poles of the girl’s roof and in the whale-bone fence. Karana even sees birds she has never seen before on the island. A pair of birds made a nest in one of the crippled trees near her house, a nest shaped like a pouch. The birds have yellow bodies and scarlet heads, and soon there are two eggs in the nest. Once they hatch, Karana leaves small pieces of abalone under the tree, and the parents feed the bits to their babies. The young birds are gray and ugly, but


she takes them from their nest and puts them in a cage made out reeds which she made...

Every day during the spring, Karana and Rontu paddled through the sea caves looking for the giant devilfish; they found several others, but never the giant one. When summer comes she quits searching for him and begins to gather abalones for winter. She also gathers a few shellfish near the rocks at Coral Cove. Today the tide is low and the reef rises far above the water. Her canoe is nearly full and the day is windless, so she ties the canoe and climbs onto the reef, Rontu following, to find a fish to spear for their dinner.

With a sinew line and a hook made of abalone shell, she catches twoone has a deep gash across his back. The otter does not try to escape when she reaches for it, and his normally large eyes are open so wide in pain and fear that she can see herself reflected in them.

She cuts the strands of kelp and takes the animal to a sheltered tide pool by a reef. Karana catches two fish and is...

Spring on the island is beautiful once again. Tainor and Lurai build a nest in the tree where they are born, and when they hatch two ugly fledglings, Karana knows they will one day be as beautiful as their parents. She names them and clips their wings, as well, and soon they are also tame. A gull with a broken leg also becomes part of


her family, and her yard seems like a happy place. Yet she thinks about Tutok and Ulape, wondering if they have real children, so different from Karana’s children and not what she had always hoped to have.

Karana decides to start early collecting abalones in case the Aleuts come again, and one day she sees a herd of otter frolicking in the kelp bed, playing much like the Ghalas-at...

Never again do the Aleuts come to the Island of the Blue Dolphins, but every summer Karana watches for them and every spring she gathers shellfish, which she dries and stores in the cave along with her canoe. Two winters after the hunters left, she makes more weapons to store with the food and her canoe.

If true, it opens up a worrying development for news organisations covering wars and conflicts: now they could be targeted simply for reporting a side of the story that one party wants suppressed.

Nik Gowing, a presenter on BBC World, was determined to get the issue raised at last week's News World conference in Barcelona. While news executives spent

By interpreting signals from the body, patients calculated and planned their daily life to stay active despite pain and participate in their social lives. Pain was a signal with diverse meanings which, with the influence of time, seemed to change from a sign of danger to a reminder to moderate their level of activity. By experimenting with different activities, patients learned how to gradually remain or become physically active. Patients strived to stay active despite pain. The interpretation of pain changed over time, from a threatening signal to a signal with diverse meanings. The findings provide insights that may improve the educational rehabilitation of


Ga. 552, 556(4)(a), 341 S.E.2d 220 (1986). Based upon this inconsistency and Mr. Smith's availability for cross-examination by Winn, the trial court properly admitted the out-of-court statement for the jury's consideration as both impeaching and substantive evidence. Brown v. State, 266 Ga. 633, 635(2), 469 S.E.2d 186 (1996); Gibbons v. State, 248 Ga. 858, 286 S.E.2d 717 (1982).
3. When, during its examination of Mr. Smith, the State asked whether he had been threatened, Mr. Smith replied in the negative. Winn objected to this line of questioning, on the ground that the prosecutor was "attempting to interject something into this case that's not here...." The trial court overruled this objection and allowed the State to ask Mr. Smith whether he was "afraid for any reason to testify to thejury" about his out-of-court statement. Mr. Smith's response was that he did not "even remember" making the statement.
Whether Mr. Smith's inconsistent testimony was based upon a fear of reprisal was a relevant inquiry. See Williams v. State, 253 Ga. 690, 693(1), 324 S.E.2d 440 (1985). The State's question did not intimate that Winn had in fact threatened Mr. Smith and, in his answer, Mr. Smith unequivocally denied that he had been threatened by anyone. The trial court did not abuse its discretion in allowing this questioning of Mr. Smith by the State.
Judgment affirmed.
All the Justices concur.

So why are the Pleiades called the Seven Sisters, when only six stars can be seen with the eye? In fact, the number of stars you can see within the Pleiades cluster, using just your eye, varies depending on your own eyesight, local atmospheric transparency and light pollution levels. Some people simply see fainter stars than others. It’s possible that early skywatchers, whose skies were darker and clearer than our modern skies, more often sawis smaller: y or k?

In the case of melatonin, it inhibits production of this vital hormone. To add insult to injury, electromagnetic radiation makes our cells more resistant to melatonin. This in turn leads to two problems:

First, over the years, researchers have looked into the fact that healthy tissue cells live in a well organized matrix, and they also communicate with each other so that the matrix is not broken or ruined. By contrast, malignant cells do not grow in an organized pattern and also do not communicate with surrounding cells. Interesting enough, melatonin also plays a role in the regulation of cell to cell signaling.

2,DONETSK, Ukraine — In the afternoon, when the shift ends at the coal mine and the miners walk out into the cold past the old concrete statue of Lenin, they often head to a tiny corner store. There they’ll stand in the parking lot for a while, drinking little bottles of the vodka called “Truthful.”

They know what is happening in Kiev, the capital city that can seem so far away. They’ve seen pictures of the democracy protesters shot dead in Kiev’s streets, and the TV reports on the mansions of ousted President Viktor Yanukovych, the one-time thug and pro-Russia politician who grew up in this far-eastern city. They watched from afar this week as protesters, many from western Ukraine, helped form the country’s new government.

They don’t like it


at all.

“I have always felt that we are so different,” said a miner who gave his name only as Nikolai, a thickset 35-year-old who went from high school directly into the mines. People speak Russian across most of Ukraine’s east, and worship in onion-domed Orthodox churches. They were shaped by 70 years of Soviet rule and its celebration of socialist industrialization, and by the Russian empire before that. To them, the government is now being run by outsiders who care little for this side of the country. “If they try to pressure us, our region will revolt.”

His words are echoed — except for a few key words — in a conversation 800 miles (1,250 kilometers) to the west, in a medieval cobblestoned city, Ukrainian-speaking residents and houses displayingand stabilizing truss assemblies, particularly where those truss assemblies are incorporated into collapsible canopy structure. There is a further need recognized when products are manufactured according to my above referenced patents in simplifying the mounting of the scissor bar elements, one to another into scissor units and the resulting scissor units into interconnected scissor or truss assemblies, and in the connection of such truss assemblies in a pivotal expandable/collapsible manner to respective corner and intermediate supports. There is further a recognized need for interconnections which would be more resistive to shear and bending moments.


Second Temple period and is most famous as the last stand of the Bar Kokhba revolt in 136 CE. Indeed, the fourth blessing of Birkat Hamzon (“Grace After Meals”) was penned (or quilled?) because the Jewish survivors of the Bar Kokhba revolt (they were very few) were able to go to Beitar and bury the dead.

And even more ironic (and indicative of Cheslow’s historical ignorance or PC motivated editing) is the fact that Judea (as it was then known) was renamed “Palestine” by the Roman Emperor Hadrian in the aftermath of the revolt (which took 6 full legions to put down) in order erase any Jewish connection to the land, a tradition which Cheslow seems to carry on with great enthusiasm. So to say it has been “Palestinian”an in-person interview using a structured questionnaire that included questions on demographics, reproductive history (including breastfeeding), medical history including use of exogenous hormones, family history of cancer and other lifestyle factors. Information was recorded up to the date of diagnosis (month and year) for case patients or the date of initial household contact by RDD for control subjects. All cases and controls were interviewed between September 1994 and December 1998. Informed consent was obtained from all participants. Study protocols were approved by the Institutional Review Board at each participating centre.

Oestrogen receptor and PR status of case patients was recorded from the pathology record when available at each study centre. All SEER registries routinely collect this information for breast cancer, specifically they collect the laboratory results recorded in

To determine whether the reproductive factors were associated equally with breast cancer of different receptor statuses, we excluded the controls, and defined ER + PR + cases as 'cases\' and ER − PR − cases as 'controls\'. We determined the ORs of being a receptor-positive case associated with the various reproductive factors, and estimated the tests for association or trend. A statistically significant test of association or trend (likelihood ratio test) from the case--case analysis suggested that the effect of the exposure factor differed by receptor status. A similar procedure was used for comparingCosby, who had appeared in The New York Post after an actress filed a police report against him, and Allen, who he dismisses as “an uber-pervy clarinet freak,” in such high regard? “I was living in Akron [when I wrote the book],” Klosterman said. “I wasn’t reading The New York Post. I had no idea about any of the Bill Cosby stuff. The Woody Allen shit, I guess I knew, but when I was saying he was kind of weird it was more to do with him marrying a woman that his ex-girlfriend adopted or whatever. It wasn’t, ‘this is depraved.’ It was, ‘this is weird.’”

Sex with Blonde Scarlet is the best sex of my life. There, I have said it. I am not exactly a blushing virgin. I’ve had women before. Some of them were good and some of them weren’t. Some of them thought I was good in bed, and some of them didn’t. But the first time I got down with Blonde Scarlet I realized ITO GO.

while playing is just totally not allowed. Saive has always been a bit of a show man, and at his age (44) he can't do anything else against someone like Chuang then trying to amuse the audience. Let's not forget Saive was world's number 1 for two years (1994-1995), participated 22 times at the world championships, 7 times at the Olympics. Nowadays he's WR 128 and probably just wants to enjoy and promote the sport. It was great of Chuang to play his role in the show.

made a business proposal of sorts to Rudyard Kipling, who then wrote for The Pioneer and also the Civil and Military Gazette, or CMG (newspapers published out of the city), contributing stories and narrative sketches for its weekly editions. Kipling’s first novel, a collection of his writings called Plain Tales from The Hills, had already been published by the Calcutta-based Thacker and Sphink & Co, and, as the story goes, it was Moreau who offered to publish his stories in book form.

The Library Series also republished Kipling’s The City of Dreadful Night. These were sold for one rupee each.

Over the next couple of years, several of Kipling’s early novels formed part of Wheeler’s Indian Railway Library Series. The other books, beginning with Soldiers Three were Wee Willie Winkie,Under the Deodars, The Story of the Gadsbys, In Black and White, The Phantom Rickshaw and Other Eerie Tales, which has the famous story, The Man who would be King. Later, the Library Series also republished Kipling’s The City of Dreadful Night. These were sold for one rupee each.

In the agreement signed between Wheeler’s and Kipling (March 1889), the books were published by Wheeler’s, with Kipling receiving an “advance” of £200. Other details included the promised royalty of £4 for a thousand copies, accruing after the sale of an initial 1,500 copies. It was with this £200 that Kipling set out on a “world tour” via East Asia and the US.

It was during this time, first in Japan, that he discovered, much to his consternation, some pirated editions

Back in mid-June there was an appellate court ruling that put Sherlock Holmes, as a character, into the public domain. And as a celebration of that ruling, I pre-ordered the book at the center of the case on Amazon, and wrote of it in this very blog.
The book was In the Company of Sherlock Holmes: Stories Inspired by the Holmes Canon, edited by Laurie R. King and Leslie S. Klinger. It's original delivery date, according to Amazon, was going to be November 13th. Along the way, something changed and it arrived in the

James Gandolfini as Tony Soprano: 'surprising gentleness, as if frightened of his own potential strength'. Photograph: Sportsphoto Ltd/Allstar/HBO

To carry such a concentration on a single figure – other great modern American TV shows such as The Wire, The West Wing and Six Feet Under were all ensemble pieces – Chase needed a remarkable actor – and he got one.

All the best TV actors – from Alec Guinness through Helen Mirren and David Suchet to Benedict Cumberbatch – have had two predominant skills: stillness and thinking. A small-screen role is defined in moments of repose, when the camera stops and watches. Because Tony Soprano was often sitting, in long consultations with his shrink or with family or associates over a meal, and


as an artistic equivalent of the larger one. Although many of those who watched and wrote about TV had got this message much earlier, the remarkable and sustained range of Gandolfini's portrayal of Tony Soprano played a major part in ending any remaining inferiority complex about the medium.

That possibility dies with Gandolfini and it may be right that Tony Soprano will now remain forever a character of television, a form in which he represents one of the greatest achievements. It is a small consolation for his shockingly early loss that TV now has such a considerable after-life on archive channels and through box-sets.aspNetCoreVersion);

Mapping of a serotype specific epitope of the major capsid protein VP2 of infectious pancreatic necrosis virus.
A serotype-specific, conformational epitope of VP2 of infectious pancreatic necrosis virus (IPNV) (Jasper), has been mapped by restriction enzyme site-specific deletions of cloned viral cDNA. Subclones encoding fragments of VP2 were expressed in Escherichia coli followed by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and Western blot analysis. The epitope (between amino acid residues 242 and 325) reacted with monoclonal anti-VP2 antibodies that neutralized the homologous (Jasper), but not the heterologous (Sp) serotype of IPNV.one month, the root and leaf parts of the plants were collected, and the roots were cleaned with ultrapure water. The samples were dried at 80 °C for 48 h before being weighed. The root and leaf parts of plants growing in different soil types were then used to measure Cu, Mn, Zn and Cd concentrations.

2.3. Detection of HM concentrations {#sec2.3}
-----------------------------------

The four HM concentrations were determined according [@bib19]. Briefly, approximately 0.5--1.0 g of dried samples were added to the polytetrafluoroethylene digestion tanks. Then, 5 mL of HNO~3~ was injected, and the tanks were left to stand. After the reactions, the tanks were sealed with caps and placed into a microwave digestion instrument (WX-8000, Yi Yao Instrument, Shanghai, CN) for digestion. When the temperature cooled below 50 °C, the digestion tanks were taken to


BCFs and TFs of different HMs in turnip plants under different soil types {#sec3.2}
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In order to reflect HM absorption and distribution characteristics in turnips under different soil types, BCF and TF parameters were calculated for each sample. The changes in the BCFs of the four HMs under different soil types are shown in [Fig. 2](#fig2){ref-type="fig"}A. The Cu BCFs in turnip leaves ranged from 0.40 (Soil A) to 0.65 (Soil D) ([Fig. 2](#fig2){ref-type="fig"}A), without significant differences among different plants cultivated in the four soil types ([Fig. 2](#fig2){ref-type="fig"}A). The Mn BCFs in turnip leaves were 0.87, 1.57, 1.13 and 13.58 in Soils A, B, C and D, respectively, and the Mn BCF in turnip leaf in Soil D was significantly higher than in those cultivated in the other three soil types (*P* \< 0.05; [Fig. 2](#fig2){ref-type="fig"}A).of the four HMs were similar ([Fig. 2](#fig2){ref-type="fig"}D). The Mn TFs were the highest, and the Cu TFs were the lowest in Soils B, C and D (*P* \< 0.05; [Fig. 2](#fig2){ref-type="fig"}D). The TFs of Zn and Cd were similar in Soil B, whereas the Cd TFs were much higher than those of Zn in Soils C and D (*P* \< 0.05; [Fig. 2](#fig2){ref-type="fig"}D).

3.3. Correlation analysis between the BCFs and the soil properties {#sec3.3}
------------------------------------------------------------------

In order to understand the effects of soil factors on HM accumulation in turnip, we performed correlation analysis between soil factors and the BCFs of four HMs. The Cu BCF in turnip leaf was negatively correlated with soil pH (*P* \< 0.05) ([Table 2](#tbl2){ref-type="table"}). However, the Mn, Zn and Cd BCFs in the turnip leaves were significantly affected by various soil properties (*P* \< 0.05) ([Table 2](#tbl2){ref-type="table"}); they


order parameter of chiral symmetry breaking and the expectation value of the Polyakov-loop as order parameter of deconfinement also rapidly change. For realistic quark masses reproducing the physical hadron spectrum, the transition of confined (hadron) matter to deconfined (quark-gluon) matter seems to be indeed a cross over [@Fodor; @Laer]. This is in contrast to pure gauge theory, which displays at $T_c$ a first-order phase transition [@Risch; @Karschi]. The quark mass dependence of the transition characteristics at $T_c$ is discussed in some detail in [@Risch; @Laer].

The CP as fundamental issue of QCD is matter of current investigations both theoretically and experimentally. In particular, observable consequences are discussed [@Stephanov; @Asa]. Concerning the hydrodynamical description of the expansion stage in heavy-ion collisions, one might ask to what extent the equation of\int_0^T \frac{\partial s(T',\mu_B)}{\partial\mu_B} dT' .$$ Assuming a finite extension of the critical region around CP, the integration constant $n_B(0,\mu_B)$ is completely determined by the regular part of the thermodynamic potential. Obeying the correct dimension of an entropy density, we therefore choose $s_{sing}$ proportional to the second-order Taylor expansion coefficient $c_2(T)$ from (\[e:coeff1\]) (cf. [@Bluhm3]), $$\label{equ:A3}
  s_{sing}(T,\mu_B) = \frac{2}{9} A c_2(T) \mu_B^2 T  tanh\,S_c(T,\mu_B) .$$ Here, $A$ denotes the relative strength between regular and singular contributions and $tanh\,S_c$ binds $S_c(T,\mu_B)$ between $-1$ and $+1$ for convenience.

In order to describe lattice QCD results, one has to adjust the remaining parameters $\Delta T_c, \,\Delta\mu_{B,c}$ and $A$ according to $s_{lQCD} = s_{reg} + s_{sing}$, where for small $\mu_B$ lattice QCD results have already been successfully described by the regular part


the $\sum_I$ over all energy eigenstates. It is viewed as the distribution of the strength of the state $\sum_j e^{i\bvec{q}\cdot\rvec_j}
\ket{0}$ over the energy eigenstates of the system having momentum $\bvec{q}$. It is not necessarily zero in the timelike, $\nu > |\bvec{q}|$ region.

The natural scaling variable in the MBT approach to DIS [@BPS00] is $\tilde{y}=\nu-|\bvec{q}|$. At large $|\bvec{q}|$ the response is expected to depend only on $\tilde{y}$, and not on $\bvec{q}$ and $\nu$ independently. This variable is equivalent to the Nachtmann variable $\xi$ since [@ON; @Jaffe85] \[eqn:xi\] = (||-) = - . In the limit of large $Q^2$ the $\xi = x$, thus $\tilde{y}$ scaling includes Bjorken scaling. However, both $\tilde{y}$ and $\xi$ span both spacelike and timelike regions at fixed $|\bvec{q}|$ unlike $x$ at fixed $Q^2$.

The particle number$\sigma(p+d)/\sigma(p+p)$ from E866 at Fermilab [@Hawker98; @JCPeng98] determine the ratio of $\bar{d}(x)/\bar{u}(x)$ and, in turn, the integral, \[eqn:gsr-sea\] \_0\^1 dx \[|[u]{}(x)-|[d]{}(x)\] = -0.1180.012 to a high level of precision. The valence isospin, or Gottfried, sum \[eqn:gsr\] S\_G = \_0\^1 = + \_0\^1 dx has been measured by the NM Collaboration [@Arneodo95]. The analysis of their complete data set gives $S_G=0.216\pm0.027$ [@Eisele95; @Hinch96] essentially independent of $Q^2$ on the interval $0.5<Q^2<10$ GeV$^2$. Using these measurements we find a contribution due to valence quarks of, \[gsr-val\] S\_G- \_0\^1 dx = 0.294 0.030, about 10% below the expected result of $\frac{1}{3}$, with comparable error.

The present work suggests that these sums over the spacelike region could be smaller than the theoretical expectation due to some of the response being shifted into the


preliminary injunctive relief preventing defendants from revoking their licenses pending a hearing (Docket No. 31). See Guillemard Gionorio v. Contreras Gomez, 301 F.Supp.2d 122 (D.P.R.2004) ("Guillemard I"). Defendants have filed an appeal from that Opinion and Order (Docket No. 33), which is still pending resolution before the First Circuit. A motion to stay the proceedings pending resolution of the appeal has been denied by this Court (Docket No. 45).
Prior to reaching the merits of the injunction request, however, the Court had to entertain arguments of abstention under the Younger[2] and Burford[3] doctrines, as well as an argument of absolute immunity. These were discussed at length and found to be inapplicable to the current controversy. Failing to grasp the concept, defendants have again raised these issues in their motionthe hearings. The Court is on notice, however, that, contrary to those representations by counsel, neither the Lone Star nor the UVI plaintiffs have been afforded with a hearing or with any discovery material for that matter. In fact, it seems defendants have done everything in their power to stall any and all proceedings at the administrative level (Docket Nos. 32, 43).[5] The Court cannot comprehend how defendants can then argue that plaintiffs' due process rights can be guaranteed by the administrative process.
Furthermore, the Court has already established that due process mandates a pre-revocation hearing in this case. See Guillemard I, 301 F.Supp.2d at 132-133; see also Cleveland Board of Education v. Loudermill, 470 U.S. 532, 542, 105 S.Ct. 1487, 84 L.Ed.2d 494 (1985)("An essential principle of due


The First Circuit employs a three-part test when determining if a public official is entitled to qualified immunity: "(1) whether plaintiff's allegations, if true, establish a constitutional violation; (2) whether that right was clearly established at the time of the alleged violation; *161 and (3) whether a similarly situated reasonable official would have understood that the challenged action violated the constitutional right at issue." Mihos v. Swift, 358 F.3d 91, 102 (1st Cir.2004)(citing Suboh v. District Attorney's Office of Suffolk Dist., 298 F.3d 81, 90 (1st Cir.2002); Harlow, 457 U.S. at 818-819, 102 S.Ct. 2727).

a. Whether the allegations establish a constitutional violation

The Court finds that plaintiffs' allegations, if true, establish not one, but two constitutional violations. First, plaintiffs allege that Contreras and the OIC began an investigation intonorth Atlantic allowing cold air to penetrate much farther south, which has a reverberating cooling effect around the globe.

Sediment cores across the North Atlantic show layers that are full of sand and gravel that are far too heavy to have floated there from land. These layers are called ice rafted debris, have been delivered by iceberg armadas from purging of the North American and Greenland Ice Sheets, and coincide with most of the abrupt changes found in Greenland ice cores. (12)

In the recent past when science could not identify any changes in strength in the Gulf Stream and modeling could not reliably recreate abrupt changes, these events were not as worrisome as today. After all, the North American Ice Sheet was gone.

The Gulf Stream: without it Europe and


around Antarctica that floats on the denser salt water allowing more sea ice to form as freshwater freezes at about 3 degrees Fahrenheit warmer than salt water. More sea ice decreases ocean turbulence, meaning that mid-level waters are warmer, enhancing underice melt. Rifting, a predecessor to collapse, is significantly increasing in the Amundsen Sea Embayment and is visible in satellite imagery. The Amundsen Sea Embayment drains 30 percent of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet, has increased in flow 33 percent in the last 40 years, and is currently responsible for 10 percent of annual sea level rise. (23)

The quickest ice sheet collapse projection today is in the multi-century range, but it is very important to understand that ice sheet collapse modeling is still in its infancy and likelywith giant robots that are merely down-to-Earth weapons of war rather than the indestructable superheroes they were in the past... Anime that fit into this category include Macross, Patlabor, Evangelion (in a way), Full Metal Panic, Zoids, etc. The other spectrum of the mecha genre would be the Super Robot. Contemporary Super Robot anime would be Gravion and Godanner)

I just started downloading the first ten episodes today tell me. For those of u who have seen any of the V Gundam episodes plz put ur input on this thread

Ok, compared to the other Gundam series, it isn't the worst but it isn't exactly good. I think this is exactly when Yoshiyuki Tomino tried to create a series that will merge elements of F91 with fresh insights in order
