Introduction {#Sec1}
============

Oral bisphosphonates are the most commonly prescribed medications for the treatment of osteoporosis. The gastrointestinal absorption of oral bisphosphonates is very limited and, when given with food or beverages other than plain water, the bioavailability is severely compromised or negligible resulting in loss of skeletal benefit \[[@CR2]\]. Because of this, these drugs must be taken on an empty stomach with a wait of 30--60 min before other food, drinks, or mineral supplements can be consumed. The effect of food on diminishing the bioavailability of oral bisphosphonates is mediated by calcium and perhaps other divalent cations that limit the transit of bisphosphonates across gastrointestinal surfaces \[[@CR2], [@CR3]\]. When subjects are queried about how they take oral bisphosphonates, more than half are found to be taking them with food oraffinity than does risedronate) and have a pH-sensitive enteric coating that disintegrates in the relatively alkaline environment of the proximal small intestine where absorption of bisphosphonates is most efficient. These changes in the formulation of the weekly 35 mg tablet were made to minimize the food effect on risedronate absorption, allowing the drug to be taken before or after meals.

After 12 months of therapy, increases in bone mineral density (BMD) and reduction in markers of bone turnover were not inferior with the risedronate 35 mg DR formulation given before or immediately following breakfast compared to daily dosing with 5 mg of the original immediate-release (IR) formulation taken at least 30 min before breakfast. The efficacy and safety results after 24 months of treatment are reported here.

Weekly and monthly IR dosing forms of risedronate were developed to make dosing more convenient and acceptable and in the hope of improving persistence with treatment \[[@CR18], [@CR19]\]. However, all of these regimens, like other oral bisphosphonate dosing schedules, require dosing at least 30 min before food or drink. Even taking oral bisphosphonates with tap water or bottled water can decrease bioavailability \[[@CR20]\]. None of the current oral bisphosphonate dosing schemes solves the possible detrimental effect of poor compliance with dosing instructions on bisphosphonate absorption and clinical effectiveness.

Amaseia sits on the Yeşil River

Amaseia (now Amasya) lies in Turkey's Amasya province, on the Yeşil River. The folktales that we have from this region come primarily from Ano Amaseia, which lay above the main town. The ancient Amaseia goes back to Hellenistic times and was where Strabo was born. It sits at a high altitude and possesses a dry climate with hot summers and cold winters. It is considered the best apple-growing province in Turkey.

At the Committee for Pontic Studies, Athens

The Committee for Pontic Studies at its founding in 1924 consisted largely of clerics and teachers active in petitioning for an independent Pontic republic, men who had been educated at the major Greek schools of Asia Minor--Halki, the Megali tou Genous Skholi, andis the Pontic Greek lyra, also used by the other ethnic groups of the region. It is the instrument that most symbolizes Pontic Greek ethnicity, although they also play a number of others. In the theater, although virtually every performance ends in lyra-playing and dancing, the shepherd's flute occurs more often in the plays. Oddly enough, the kemenjes makes little if any appearance in the folktales. See also http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kemencheso .

Like many Pontic Greeks, Filon Ktenides felt that the kementjes best expressed the full range of emotions stemming from the refugee experience. From his "Hymn to the Lyra":

Apoptotic cell death appears to play a significant role in the tissue damage that occurs in association with, e.g., ischemia, organ transplantation, and various gastrointestinal disorders.
Ischemia and Reperfusion
Ischemia is the result of decreased blood flow to a particular area or organ of the body. Ischemia is responsible for several important types of physiologic damage such as brain damage, spinal cord trauma and myocardial ischemia. The most important consequence of acute myocardial ischemia is the death of individual heart cells which leads to organ dysfunction. Early reperfusion decreases heart damage; however, massive cell death by apoptosis can occur with the restoration of blood flow. In this instance, the cells that die are those thatown success.

Look, there are two ways you can look at that. You can look at that and say, “Well, obviously, democracy doesn’t work.” Or the other way you can look at that is to say, “We have the opportunity. The moment is upon us.” We push back hard enough, we’re pushing for America’s agenda. Not an agenda to help a small group of people, an agenda to build a future for this country. And I believe we win. I believe it.

Looks like Lizzie Warren is about to run for something as the third Stalin termlose that sale,” Obama argued.

“Why — when did that become something that Republicans opposed? It’d be like me having a car dealership for Ford, and the Toyota dealership offers somebody financing and I don’t. We will lose business, and we’ll lose jobs if we don’t pass it,” Obama continued.

Consider the Export-Import Bank. This little-known relic of New Deal-style command-and-control economics represents cronyism at its worst. Ex-Im, which is up for congressional reauthorization this fall, provides a select few corporations with taxpayer-funded handouts meant to buoy their exports. As Veronique de Rugy, a senior research fellow with the Mercatus Center, explains, “Economists have long known that these kinds of export credit subsidies will never raise the overall level of trade; rather, they redistribute wealth away from unsubsidized American firms,


then Andre Agassi came in. And Andre Agassi didn’t have his ID either. He put a little target on the wall, took a tennis ball and racquet– hit it onto that target time. We knew that was Andre Agassi so we cashed his check.

And she said to him, “Is there anything you can do to prove who you are?” And Obama said, “I don’t have a clue.”

And she said, “Well, Mr. President, do you want your money in small bills or large bills.”

How can there possibly be Ebola trouble in Massachusetts? We thought the “experts” are in charge? We thought the “protocols are in place”? How can this be? Obama told us this would not happen. How can this be? As Lizzie Warren would say “How?”

“Now, there areactively monitoring 48 people who might have had contact with Duncan after he fell ill with an infection but before he was put in isolation. The number included 10 people known to have contact and 38 who may have had contact, including people he was staying with and health care professionals who attended to him during an emergency room visit from which he was sent home. None is sick.

The CDC has not yet established a firm number of health care workers who had contact with Duncan.

“If this one individual was infected – and we don’t know how – within the isolation unit, then it is possible that other individuals could have been infected as well,” said Dr. Tom Frieden, director of the CDC. “We do not today have

You have those who believe the goal of a union is to put bread and butter on the table of their members (the Samuel Gompers–Dave Beck view) and there is the other faction who is socialist to the core and believe that the goal of a union is to tear down society, which is epitomized by outfits like the SEIU, and, sadly, the Teamsters under Hoffa Jr. As for Grimes, the reason she would not say she voted for Obama is because she does not want to be associated with him.

Now the real purpose and real targets have become evident and the money dumb Dims donated to defeat McConnell is shifted to where the “leaders” wanted to spend the money in the first place.

One more bit about Alison Grimes. The reason she won’t admit that she voted for Barack Obama and was an Obama delegate to the DNC convention (she could have refused to do so as many Dims like McCaskill did) is because her campaign is based on deceit. Yes she doesn’t want to say she voted for Obama because that would be fodder for an ad. But

When Obama took office his word was holy writ with big media and the ignornati.

Today, his credibility is wider and deeper than the grand canyon.

You cannot govern from that position.

The only alternative is to become a dictator.

Which raises the most interesting question of all.

If the Republicans control congress, and if he goes off the deep end–which seems inevitable, will they have the cajones to stop him if public support exists?

Their failure to do so in the past was explained away by their lack of public support, the inability to fight him when the controlled only the house, and when big media gave him the protection of the ring.

But if you assume those conditions no longer exist, they pass legislation on the pipline and other projects which wouldEbola. Thereafter the golf god beckons.

Ebola and the Incompetence of Obama

No matter how incompetent and inept you think Obama is, it is worse than you think. The Ebola crisis is a case in point. Obama’s team decided it would be a good symbolic gesture to announce that they would start screening arriving passengers from West Africa. Great. Then what? Turns out that no one at CDC or HHS has planned for these details.

For example, if you spot someone with symptoms, what do you do? Do you put them back on a plane? Do you have an isolation area set up at the airport? Which healthcare officials will be alerted? Will the person or persons be transported to a hospital? If so, which hospital? What about the other passengers


on that flight? Will they be kept together and monitored?

These are fundamental planning questions that are unanswered. Failure to properly handle this can create additional risk to the public health.

I am not making this up. I learned about this late last night.

Once you make the decision to start isolating people you have to have a logistics train in place to provide food, water and medical care. That stuff does not fall from the sky.

Obama and his team are behind the eight ball. They do not know what they are doing.

But goddamnit this is not supposed to happen to “the smartest man who ever occupied to White House”–per Michael Bechloss Presidential Historian after having dinner with him and Michelle back in 2009.

At a minimum, his Noble Prize and Messiahbriefing on the latest case of a female employee of Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital who cared for Ebola patient Thomas Eric Duncan.

Jenkins said the second infected woman, who was not identified by name or job title, was isolated within 90 minutes of reporting a fever Tuesday. She is the third person diagnosed in the U.S. with Ebola, which is currently epidemic in three West African countries.

The CDC hours later revealed that the newly infected woman had flown on Monday on Frontier Airlines Flight 1143 from Cleveland to Dallas/Fort Worth. The CDC asked all passengers aboard that flight to call 1-800-232-4636. Frontier Airlines said passengers who also traveled with the woman on Flight 1142 on Friday from Dallas/Fort Worth to Cleveland should contact CDC as well.

Stock market down really


this virus causes the public at large to not fly, that would have a far greater impact on the economy than a simple ban for commercial airlines originating in the Ebola affected regions.

A confined space with lots of people sharing the same:

– air
– tiny restrooms
– crawling over others to get out of your seat
– passing food trays and drinks to each other
– touching things in the plane that others on the next flight will touch, handles, compartments and also the things in the airport, taxi, shuttle bus, parking attendant, on and on.

"The irony of your making that statement here I cannot avoid," King quipped

Comey's refusal to comment during a Senate Intelligence Committee hearing drew a perplexed response from Sen.

Be careful though. Aside of latest anime episodes, there’ll be spoilers from latest manga chapters. So, continue reading only if you don’t care about the spoilers, or already read the latest manga chapters (at least Files 859-861). You have been warned. This text was made for die-hard Meitantei CONAN fans, who knows the plot very well, want to think about it and make some guesses. I don’t want to say that my theories is better then the others, but I’ll try to make reasonable summaries from the real facts. No baseless assumptions. Here we go.

ORIGINS

One of the most interesting things about Black


for a long time. Since Vermouth is very close to That Person, it makes sense this way.

• Aoyama Gōshō-sensei said that the name of That Person already appeared in manga. It wasn’t clear if he / she appeared in person, but it makes introduced characters even more suspicious.

• James was introduced soon after Karasuma Renya (Karasuma Renya – Volume 30, James – Volume 32).

• Now try to recall Clash of Red and Black: Innocence (Anime Episode 502 / Manga File 605-608). The part in which Gin ordered to Hidemi (Rena) to set up a meeting with Akai-san to kill him. It was very interesting moment, because Organization tried to prevent any possible tricks. Their main goal was not to let Hidemi (Rena) and Akai-san to make any contactsboth is a part of the same story and it’s not like author just trying to make a special cameos of Kaito in Conan.

• Kuroba Tōichi-san started his job as a thief 18 years ago. Which is almost the same time when Miyano Atsushi and Miyano Elena worked on their Silver Bullet drug for Organization (20 years ago Elena-san and Atsushi-san visited Atsushi-san’s childhood friend with 4-5 years old Akemi-san).

• Phantom Lady (Kuroba Chikage-san) stated in Magic Kaito Chapter 30 that at his 20 Tōichi-san won Fédération Internationale des Sociétés Magiques gran prix and was a big celebrity after that. And both Sharon Vineyard and Kudō Yukiko studied the disguise technique from famous magician (Kudō Shinichi’s New York Case, Anime Episodes 286-288 / Manga Files 350-354). We can


Shinichi’s. Even though version about Kudō Yūsaku-san being an older brother of Sera-san looks interesting it’s still doesn’t fit completely.

There’s another version about Sera being a sister of Kuroba Kaito, or even Kuroba Tōichi. This version is interesting, because both of Akai-san and Kuroba Tōichi-san voiced by the same actor, Ikeda Shuichi-san and voice acting is very important in Meitantei CONAN. For example, some characters ware made after voice actors completely (Takagi Wataru-san, Chiba-kun) and some was named after voice actors (Amuro Tōru, whose name is compiled from names of Gundam character Amuro Ray, and Amuro’s voice actor Furuya Tōru). So, Aoyama-sensei think that voice acting is very important and there may be a reason for Kuroba Tōichi-san and Akai Shūichi having the same voce.

Conclusion: Sera-san’s second brothera reduced amplitude of the novelty P3 component at the fronto-central region in depressed patients. Our findings suggest that patients with depression in the initial stages show an impaired ability in voluntary and involuntary attention and exhibit frontal lobe and right-hemisphere dysfunctions.

SCHROEDER, Circuit Judge.

INTRODUCTION

1
Appellants Kevork, Balian, and Gharakhanian are in Canadian custody pending trial in Canadian courts for conspiracy to commit murderCalifornia issued an order pursuant to 28 U.S.C. Sec. 1782.1   It appointed District Judge Fred Lacey, District of New Jersey, and Ontario Supreme Court Justice Eugene Ewaschuk as commissioners to obtain the evidence requested for use in the Canadian prosecution.  The district court issued subpoenas summoning the eight witnesses named in the letter of request.

5
The commission began taking evidence on June 13, 1985.  Pursuant to 50 U.S.C. Sec. 1806(c), the appellants were informed of the government's intention to introduce evidence obtained through electronic surveillance under FISA.  Appellants then moved to quash the subpoenas and to suppress all evidence obtained pursuant to FISA.

6
At the argument on those motions, the government introduced a document signed by Attorney General Meese authorizing the use of FISA information


itself.  They point out that, prior to passage of Title III of the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968, 18 U.S.C. Secs. 2510-2520, electronic surveillance data was not admissible in criminal prosecutions in this country.    See, e.g., Berger v. New York, 388 U.S. 41, 115-16, 87 S.Ct. 1873, 1912-13, 18 L.Ed.2d 1040 (1967);  Nardone v. United States, 308 U.S. 338, 60 S.Ct. 266, 84 L.Ed. 307 (1939).  They point to nothing, however, which indicates that Congress or our courts ever viewed surveillance material as inadmissible in foreign proceedings.  Indeed, it is not immediately apparent that such an issue has ever been decided under our law.    See United States v. United States District Court, 407 U.S.intelligence gathering.  Nothing in its history suggests that Congress intended to limit any effective use of such information by precluding its admissibility in foreign judicial proceedings.  Appellants advance no rational policy objective which would be served by allowing use of these materials in a domestic proceeding but preventing their use in a foreign proceeding.  We cannot perceive any.  The legislative history shows that Congress was concerned about assisting foreign governments in counteracting terrorism which occurs outside our borders.  See S.Rep. No. 701, 95th Cong. 2d Sess. 12, reprinted in 1978 U.S.Code Cong. & Ad.News 3973, 3981.  The prohibition which appellants urge would thwart that objective.

We conclude, therefore, that disclosure of FISA information for use in a foreign criminal prosecution is not prohibited


to the chaos of the startup world?

The Association for Talent Development (ATD), in January 2017, highlighted how managers who create high-stress environments are shooting themselves in the foot. This is evidenced by the 550 million workdays lost, according to the American Psychological Association, because of stress on the job. The ATD continues: “Workplace stress alone leads to a 50 percent increase in voluntary turnover.”

What Constitutes a Bad Manager?

A careers expert, Vicki Salemi, was interviewed by Today in 2016. She provided the following as clear warning signs you may have a bad manager in your midst:

Someone who gets angry very easily,

Is impatient or indecisive,

Overly dramatic,

Toxic,

Controlling,

Throws employees under the bus,

Takes credit for employees’ work,

Lacks self-awareness,

Plays favorites; or

Micromanages

Burnout and High Stress

Now these findings are general findings across all industries. Is thea constant within each company. Doing so serves to increase retention and provides customers and clients exactly what they expect and more.

In cybersecurity, where we find many startups, those employees who have been at the company for a “long” time (say, a year or more in the startup world) find themselves in collaboration overload due to the institutional knowledge they possess.

Another major factor that makes management a major concern for the cybersecurity industry is the shortage of skilled information security professionals, which is not going to dissipate anytime soon. Investing in managers and employees is no longer negotiable. They remain your most valuable investment.

Your managers are your linchpins, so make sure you have only what you need and don’t add non-productive dead weight to your manning table.

tumor growth are reduced by the expression of HAI-2 both in vitro and in intracranial xenografts in nude mice, and that HAI-2 suppresses fibrinolytic activities and inhibits the Matrigel invasion of glioblastoma cell lines \[[@CR48], [@CR49]\]. Therefore, these results implied that the downregulation of HAI-2 expression contributes to the progression of glioblastoma through activation of the MET signaling pathway.

RNA regulation {#Sec7}
==============

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs (containing approximately 22 nucleotides) that function in RNA silencing and the post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression; they can thus regulate oncogenes/tumor suppressors and their associated signal transduction pathways at the cellular level \[[@CR50]\]. Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are more than 200 nucleotides in length and have been shown to play key roles in imprinting control, cell differentiation, immune responses, human diseases, tumorigenesis,signaling and cross-talk between MET and other molecules have also been demonstrated in gliomas.

The downstream signal transduction mediators of HGF/MET signaling in gliomas include Ras/MAPK, PI3K/Akt, and STAT pathways, which mediate a variety of cellular behaviors including proliferation, survival, cell cycle progression, angiogenesis, invasion, migration, stemness, and therapeutic resistance and recurrence in glioblastomas \[[@CR15]--[@CR20]\]. In recent years, mounting evidence has suggested that the interactions between several other signaling pathways and the HGF/MET signaling pathway play a vital role in the pathogenesis of glioblastoma. As is known, Wnt/β-catenin signaling is a key downstream mediator of MET signaling, and both signaling pathways are hyperactive in human gliomas \[[@CR55]\]. A further study showed that they both regulate the proliferation, migration and stem cell behavior of glioblastoma cells by increasing the phosphorylation


protein 90 (HSP90) plays a key role in processes related to protein folding, stabilization, and degradation. In cancer cells, HSP90 is present entirely in multichaperone complexes with high ATPase activity, which are involved in the processing of oncoproteins critical to cancer progression. A study by Miekus et al. demonstrated that the expression of MET receptor is dependent on the presence of HSP90 protein, and thus the HSP90 inhibitor was found to block glioma cell growth and migration through the inhibition of MET receptor expression \[[@CR70]\]. In searching for the latest clinical trials on HSP90 inhibitors, there have been fewer advances. In addition, in glioblastomas, there have been no clinical trials testing HSP90 inhibitors to date \[[@CR71]\].

HGF/MET signaling also involves cross-talk with EGFR, HER3, and EGFRvIII. EGFRvIII induces theis blocked by Rif1 (e.g., the persistence of replicative DNA polymerases on these bridges), bringing us closer to defining the molecular mechanism of entanglement and its resolution. We have implicated these processes in the resolution of non-telomeric 'ultra-fine anaphase bridges' as well. 2. Survival without telomeres - Cells can occasionally survive the absence of telomerase, by maintaining telomeres via recombination or by circularizing their chromosomes. We had identified a third mode of telomerase-minus survival in which linear chromosomes are maintained using a strategy we dubbed 'HAATI' (heterochromatin amplification-mediated and telomerase independent). In HAATI cells, telomere repeats are absent but tracts of 'generic' heterochromatin jump to each chromosome end. This heterochromatin, along with a non-telomeric terminal 3'-overhang, recruits Pot1, which is essential for HAATI chromosome linearity. This discovery revealed


newly recognized layer of chromosomal control of cell cycle progression. 5. In bouquet-deficient cells forming proper meiotic spindles, the attachment of chromosomes, via their centromeres, to those spindles often fails. We find that the domain surrounding the telomere bouquet constitutes a nuclear microenvironment conducive to centromere assembly. Moreover, we find that centromeres are prone to dismantling during meiosis, making this telomeric environment particularly crucial as centromeres need to be reassembled. We find interesting dependencies of CDK kinase localization on the bouquet as well as features that are transferrable from telomeres to centromeres. This work in progress aims to define what cell conditions cause centromeres to fall apart, and what environmental factors reverse this. 6. We find a discrete noncanonical chromatin footprint at telomeres and have defined its geneticshould strive to be respected. Raheem cared way too much about being liked.

I believe that there was another major reason Gruden was fired. The owners knew that they were going to be spending the league minimum on salaries for the foreseeable future and that would have been meant a constant war with Gruden.

Better to cut the ties and give the job to someone who would be grateful for the opportunity.

Who hates Chucky??? But his seeming inability to work with Rich McKay, or Rich’s not wanting to work with him, and the arrival of Bruce Allen as his “hand picked” GM, which then led to terrible drafts and questionable free agents helped lead to a general decline. We have never recovered from that decline.

hopefully Raheem and Schiano was the


bottoming out and the arc will go back up.

Malcolm Sr’s medical issues were a compounding problem dumping the team into the sons’ laps. The offspring do not always have the old man’s drive. Some do, these guys not so much so it seems.

I don’t know how anybody can say Raheem was a better coach than Schiano! They were both in over their heads but at least we saw improvement on defense with Greg. It’s clear the franchise was set back by both of these blunders.
Lets face it, despite our dislike, Gruden should’ve still been coaching today. He did far more with less talent. Oh, and won a Lombardi!
Besides, who cares?! That was then, this is now.
Go Bucs!!!

Gruden should have stayed and a real GM should have been hiredhindsight after watching the games over the last 5 seasons they STILL say it. As if it would have been worse under Gruden than under Raheem-Schiano.

Dumb. The fact that the last 5 years have been screwed up doesn’t validate Gruden’s performance, just because it sucked less. Chucky’s teams would’ve probably had similar struggles the last 5 years as the team needed to be rebuilt from the draft and Chucky was clearly not the guy to do it.

If you’re asking whether Chucky is a better head coach than Raheem and Schiano, well, yes, of course he is. He’s better than a lot of coaches in the league now, but he has to have a strong personnel guy in the front office who is in charge of the draft and


has strong input on the roster, to remedy Gruden’s blindspots.

True, but most teams struggle when they undergo a rebuilding phase, regardless of who the coach is. Chucky and Bruce Allen were never going to do what needed to be done, because they were the worst drafting pair ever. The Bucs don’t have a history of strong drafting, but those 2 oversaw what were arguably the worst drafts in team history. An astounding accomplishment.

Chucky hatred syndrome is an interesting disorder, no amount of data as to how the team did after he was fired causes it to subside.

In reality the same whinny bitches who ran him out of town also aren’t man enough to admit thy were wrong.

Awesome post. I could not agree more.

Politics

Keeping Tabs: Alumni Colin Lever

After graduating from Lake Forest College with a B.A. in Politics, Collin Lever headed back East, to his home state of New Hampshire, where he found employment as a grassroots political campaign organizer with the state’s Democratic Party organization. In the run-up to the New Hampshire primaries (in January of 2012) through the presidential and Congressional elections (in November of 2012), Collin did a wide-range of election-related activities.

Initially, he was involved in volunteer recruitment and training - attending community events, organizing campaign-centered programming, identifying volunteer leader prospects, and establishing relationships with existing community leaders and identifying prospects.

From there, he spent much of his time working with established volunteer leaders and reinforcing the party’s campaign’s strategic messaging framework via targeted direct voter contact efforts. ThroughWestville, where he was housed in the Maximum Control
Segregation Unit. This transfer, Vermillion alleges, occurred
after two of the administrators falsified documents to
exaggerate his security classification. All nine of these
employees are named defendants.

Vermillion claims that for more than three years[1] after the
transfer, he was confined in his segregation cell at
Westville for at least 23 hours per day without personal
interaction with other inmates, and during those years, five
of the same nine employees-joined by many others-continued
retaliating against him for invoking his right to remain
silent. This retaliation, Vermillion alleges, ranged from
intercepting his mail to mishandling the administrative
hearings concerning a disciplinary ticket for trafficking
contraband.

Mandate at p. 2

Vermillion argues that his transfer violated his right to due
process but also was initiated for the purpose of retaliating
for his refusal to answer questions about the escaped
prisoners.

The TC levels were significantly decreased at the second follow-up assessment, only in the surgical treatment group. The amount of ODI score reduction correlated positively with the degree of HbA(1c) level reduction at the first follow-up assessment. The present study demonstrates the reduction in HbA(1c) level in patients with DM and LSS after decompression surgery with or without fusion. We believe this reduction in the HbA(1c) level may be a result of increased physical activity, subsequent to successful surgical decompression of the cauda equina.

Damages in the amount of $56,585 were awarded to Photolab against Carl Hostert, GmbH;  Carl Hostert, KG;  and Hostert KG jointly and severally.  Id. at 8.  This appeal followed.

13
Hostert KG initially argues that the district court erred in denying the motion to dismiss on the basis of inadequacy of service of process.  Hostert KG contends that service on West German corporations is governed by the Convention on the Service Abroad of Judicial Documents, Feb. 10, 1969, 20 U.S.T. 361;  T.I.A.S. No. 6633;  658 U.N.T.S. 163, which is commonly called the Hague Convention.  This multi-national treaty was entered into by the United States on February 10, 1969, and ratified with reservations by the Federal Republic of Germany.  West Germany specificallyrejects service of process by direct mail and requires that service be made through the appropriate designated central authorities with all documents translated into German.  Thus, Hostert KG argues that the attempted service by international certified mail violated this treaty and was therefore ineffective.

14
Photolab argues that Hostert KG waived any objection to insufficiency of service of process because Hostert KG failed to object in compliance with Fed.R.Civ.P. 12(h).  In particular Photolab argues that (1) Hostert KG's answer did not raise as a defense insufficiency of process or insufficiency of service of process, (2) the motion to dismiss filed on June 26, 1985, for failure of service of process was untimely filed, and (3) Hostert KG did not allege a violation of the Hague Convention before the


on behalf of Hostert KG, responded by letter to the complaint and arranged to have counsel defend the named defendant, Carl Hostert, GmbH, in the action.

23
Hostert KG's final contention is that the district court erred in holding that Hostert KG appeared in the action.  Hostert KG argues that only Carl Hostert, GmbH, by attorney, appeared in the action and that the attorney representing Carl Hostert, GmbH never undertook representation of Carl Hostert, KG or Hostert KG.  In light of our decision that the court properly permitted Hostert KG and Carl Hostert, KG to be added as defendants, this argument is meritless.

Accordingly, the judgment of the district court is affirmed.

 The Honorable Miles E. Lord,regulatory capacity. Accordingly, the contract provision may be subject to preemption.

II. The Buy-Back Provision of the Settlement Agreement is Void Due to Preemption
The supremacy clause of Article VI of the Constitution states that the Constitution and the laws and treaties made pursuant to it, are the supreme law of the land. If there is a conflict between state law and federal law, the federal law controls. Gade v. National Solid Wastes Management *1189 Association, 505 U.S. 88, 108, 112 S.Ct. 2374, 120 L.Ed.2d 73 (1992).
There are two types of preemption, express and implied. The City and the Federal Defendants argue implied preemption. There are two types of implied preemption, field and conflict. Field preemption exists where federal regulations are so pervasive as to make reasonable the inference that


contractual obligation not the subject matter of the preempted provision. AELD argues, therefore, the City is not entitled to judgment as a matter of law on those claims based upon the preempted provision.
In reply, the City argues if the provision is unenforceable, rights and remedies cannot arise from the unenforceable provisions.
AELD's third counterclaim seeks relief for fraud in the inducement. Specifically, the counterclaim alleges the City made false representations to Deutsch when negotiating the Settlement Agreement, knowing they were false or without reasonable grounds for believing the representations to be true. See First Amended Counterclaim at 39-40 (Doc. No. 18). The elements of a fraud claim are false representation, knowledge of falsity, intent to defraud, justifiable reliance and damages. The claim does not require the existence of acomply with the Buy-Back provision, and therefore is dependent on the existence of the provision. AELD must prove the existence of a contractual obligation and conduct that frustrates its rights to benefit therefrom, and thus, the gravamen of the claim is the void Buy-Back provision. Accordingly, the Court's finding that the Buy-Back provision is void is fatal to AELD's fourth counterclaim. Plaintiff is therefore entitled to judgment on this claim.

CONCLUSION AND ORDER
Based on the foregoing, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED:
1. Plaintiff's partial motion for summary judgment is GRANTED IN PART AND DENIED IN PART. The motion is GRANTED as to Plaintiffs first, second, third and fourth claims and as to AELD's first and second, and fourth counterclaims. The motion is DENIED as to AELD's third counterclaim.
2. The Clerk of


Court shall enter judgment in favor of Plaintiff as to Plaintiffs first, second, third and fourth claims and as to AELD's first and second counterclaims.
3. The Federal Defendant's motion for summary judgment is GRANTED.
4. AELD's motion for summary judgment is DENIED.
NOTES
[1]  In a footnote, AELD argues the Federal Defendants' motion is not properly before the Court because the complaint seeks no relief against any of the Federal Defendants. In response, the Federal Defendants maintain the complaint seeks declaratory relief against the Federal Defendants and they, therefore, have standing to move for summary judgment. In its complaint, the City clearly names Federal Defendants and seeks a declaration of rights and obligations under the agreement, regulations and grants at issue. The Court finds the Federal Defendants have standing toI did it a little at a time because of the issues, I was hoping they would get fixed

proper Terry stop (see         Q. And, in fact, it would be fair to say the only thing you had was the say so of

Like O'Brochta, Gilhooley could provide no information regarding the transaction that took place at

the apartment complex.

       That leaves few facts for us to consider in determining whether the officers had a reasonable

suspicion sufficient to expand the scope of the Terry stop to include an inquiry regarding narcotics.

First, we have the fact that the Bradford Court Apartments were known to

stop. We will not engage in conjecture regarding what Raysby might have observed, although we

note that the one fact in the record relevant to that point indicates that whatever he observed was an

insufficient basis for a stop. Had Raysby observed anything that would have justified a stop, he likely

would have simply directed O'Brochta to stop defendant. Instead, O'Brochta followed defendant,

looking for a traffic violation to justify a stop. Hence, the most we can discern from the record is that

no reasonable and articulable suspicion existed to question defendant about narcotics, and the State,

for whatever reason, chose not to call Raysby to dispel this inference.

       Defendant argues that no evidence corroborated his statement that the drugs were his, as no

one ever saw him in possession of the narcotics--which were found in another's possession--and that

the statement was coerced. He maintains that his statement was coerced for the same reason set forth

above regarding his child being placed in protective custody. Defendant cites case law setting forth

the corpus delicti rule, which holds that uncorroborated confessions are suspect. See People v.

Willingham, 89 Ill. 2d 352, 359 (1982). His argument, however, does not rely on that rule,

presumably because drugs were actually recovered and his conviction does not rest on a bare

confession. A confession needs only minimal corroboration to satisfy this rule, as it is enough that

and the question violated Terry's scope requirement.

        The majority's bank-robbery analogy is thoroughly unavailing. The majority observes that,

when a suspect is driving away from the scene of a bank robbery, probable cause permits the police

to "simply arrest the suspect and conduct a search incident to arrest." Slip op. at 16-17. This is

elementary, but it has nothing to do with the nature of the offense. When the police have probable

cause to believe that a suspect has committed any offense, such as driving with an expired registration

sticker, they too may "simply arrest the suspect and conduct a search incident to arrest." What they

may not do is stop the suspect, ask him an unrelated and unsupported question about a wholly

        Here, the majority draws just such an "unsatisfactory line," between "a traffic violation" and

"something more." If, and only if, the police have probable cause to believe that a defendant has

committed "something more," they may arrest the defendant, and their questioning is not subject to

Terry's scope requirement. However, as to what is "a traffic violation" and what is "something

more," the majority provides no guidance at all. Driving with an expired registration sticker and

driving while one's license is revoked are both prohibited by the Illinois Vehicle Code. So why is the

former "a traffic violation" while the latter is not? I


The majority's holding, in my view, is certain to

produce mass confusion--and worse--among the police and the courts of this state.

rami. Perforating arteries in the lateral group varied from one to nine in number. In addition to an origin from the MCA trunk, they also arose from cortical branches supplying the frontal and temporal lobes. The fact that lateral perforating vessels often originated from division sites and from terminal branches of the MCA is of clinical significance, because aneurysms are more commonly located at the MCA bifurcation. Anastomoses were not found among the perforating arteries. In two specimens, a fusion between a perforating artery and the MCA trunk was noted. Since the perforating vessels are obviously end arteries, injury to them must be avoided during operations for MCA aneurysms.   dataType:"text",

Dez Bryant On His Experience At Cowboys Training Camp

OXNARD, Calif. (105.3 THE FAN) – The Fan’s Ben & Skin show sit down with Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant for an exclusive interview about the upcoming season and the monstrous training camp he’s having so far.


trip to the Camp Nou only nine days earlier to see Barca putting seven goals past Osasuna.

One for the scrapbook: Adam (aged 6) and Luke Dollery (7) with "the actual Sean Maguire".

Being a hero in the eyes of Cork City’s younger supporters means he’s generally the last player to leave Turner’s Cross, but that’s something Sean Maguire has embraced. There was a time not too long ago when his stock wasn’t quite so high and autograph requests were scarce.

“Coming from the position I was in a year and a half ago, how could I not love it when the fans treat me like that? Cork City is their Barcelona and being a hero to so many of them is a great feeling,” says Maguire, the morning after hescored a hat-trick in Cork City’s Europa League victory over Levadia Tallinn at Turner’s Cross.

“Kieran [Sadlier, Cork City's new signing] was there for the first time last night and he said afterwards that he’d never seen anything like that in the League of Ireland. It was about quarter to 11 when I eventually got out of there. There’s hundreds of kids there after every game. It’s very unique in the League of Ireland. It reminds you too that you play for the biggest club in the country.”

Sean Maguire has left a mark on the League of Ireland in a manner that few players ever have. Since making his debut for Cork City in February of last year, the Kilkenny native has scored 53 times in all competitions. Before


was required. As difficult as it is to imagine now, there were times in 2016 when — despite ending the year with 29 goals in total — he was relegated to the bench.

“John left me out of the team a couple of times,” Maguire recalls. “He pulled me aside and said ‘you’re not scoring, we haven’t been winning, so I’m just going to leave you out today’. I think he took me out away to Derry and after that I scored 12 goals in 10 games. I kicked on from there. It was frustrating but I can see now why he did it. He knew what he was doing.”

Goals are a striker’s mostand there. I felt if I signed back with Cork and gave it another good season that I’d have even better opportunities then. That’s how it turned out.”

He adds: “I was speaking to my dad and he was saying I wouldn’t even have to score as many goals as my first season. I wouldn’t have to score 29. But I had a different view on it. I thought I could do a lot more, even though there was more pressure this time. I really believed I had more in me.”

Having seemingly gotten his career back on track, Maguire could have been excused for taking a breather during the off-season.


lads. Even in the cup final last year, I felt I wasn’t in the shape I wanted to be in. I was being pushed off the ball and stuff. I feel stronger this year, quicker and sharper. I could feel myself coasting past players last night. I’ve surprised myself by how much quicker I am this year.”

Twelve months after he watched from the stands as the club he played for won the FAI Cup, Maguire was back at the Aviva Stadium in November 2016 for another final between Dundalk and Cork City. This time he scored the winner to bring the silverware back to Cork for the first time in nine years. The good times have also been plentiful this season.

With Maguire scoring 22 goals in as manyIt wasn’t like I was a club legend who left for their rivals. So it was nice to get the hat-trick that night. I enjoyed it a lot.”

He adds: “I have nothing against Stephen Kenny. Maybe he could have thrown me in for a few more games up front when I was at Dundalk, because I’m not a winger. But in fairness to him, he was managing a team that only lost once all season, that had David McMillan and Ciaran Kilduff scoring goals. I can’t have any regrets because my experience at Dundalk helped me to mature and made me into the player I am now.”

On the Role of Civil Society:

If the civil society is not dedicated to that end what else could it possibly be dedicated to? What is freedom, to those without wealth, income or power?”

On the weekend, there was a book sale at the local library. In the free bin was a 1944 edition of the Tales of Edgar Allen Poe illustrated with those black and white woodcut prints that I used to hate so much as a kid but which I now love. I look forward to reading some of

While sitting outdoors in one of the cafe’s in the piazza, a cheeky pigeon landed on my table and boldly stared me in the eye. It then arrogantly strutted, as only a pigeon can, across the table. After looking into my eye once more as if challenging me to stop it, it dipped its beak into my espresso and flew off. I sat there staring at the cup wondering if I were enough of an environmentalist to view this as an opportunityand look up at the palazzo I speculate whether or not she ever stands at the window looking down at us with our glasses of wine in hand laughing and talking and wonders if that life she had convinced herself was so much superior to that of her childhood friends, really was.

Although I am traveling, I still manage to put in time reading novels. Recently I read Arturo Perez-Reverte’s latest. Perez-Reverte whose taut but lush adventure and mystery novels generally take place in Spain during its long sad decline from world empire until the old order was finally snuffed out by the armies of Napoleon. His series of books, featuring the melancholy but indomitable soldier and peerless swordsman Captain Alatriste,


was the genius of Augustus Caesar; to recognize there were limits to expansion of empire beyond the need to establish secure boundaries. It probably enabled the Roman Empire to survive for another 1000 years until the thugs of the Fourth Crusade finally put it out of its misery.

Will history repeat itself?

“In the west with which we are concerned here, there was a climate change after A.D. 200, marked, it would seem, by a retreat of the polar icecap and the polar area of high pressures; this allowed the prevailing westerly winds and rains to move northward so that they passed over the Baltic Sea and Scandinavia, with great growth of forest in all northern Europe, and with greatly reduced rainfall in the Mediterranean, Northgeneral forms of weapons, tactics, and organizational arrangements, including, for example, the belief that the same man should produce food and fight (peasant militia) or a reduction of defense to a single weapon or only two. We may not notice these military consequences when the depression is brief, as the world depression of 1929-1940, but these effects do appear when such an economic collapse continues for centuries, in a dark age.

The effects of such a change are also important on the non-material aspects of the society, where we find a tendency for people to turn toward a more personal and existential life, with emphasis on day-to-day interpersonal activities, decreasing emphasis on planning for the future in this secular world, and a decrease in abstract thinking and generalizations, but

I met the manager of the club. He used to manage the well-known men’s club in Sacramento. When I worked in that city, I received some minor notoriety by refusing to attend meetings and conferences there because of their policy on women members. Of course, I would periodically slip in there for lunch. My moral standards permit minor acts of hypocrisy and one or two large ones now and then.

All the governors that I was familiar with had been members and used the clubs facilities extensively — except Jerry Brown who refused to step foot into the place. Apparently, Governor Arnold used to impress the club members by carrying a large marble chess tablestrategy used 1400 years ago. It did not work then and it will not work now. Eventual adoption of the ideology, however, did preserve their wealth and power.

Of the three major non-Arab or non-Sunni regimes on the periphery, Turkey, Iran and Israel, none of them sees ISIS as a significant threat to its physical integrity. All of them see political and economic gains in the prolongation of the conflict and all three would be pleased if the oil sheikdoms find themselves preoccupied and under stress.

(It should be pointed out, the particular form of Islamic terrorism and ideology practiced by ISIS and others appears to be lacking [or at least, weak] in most non-Arab Muslim countries except perhaps Iran.)

Careful studies of the population of the Roman empire seem to indicate that its population fell from about 70 million persons at the time of Christ to about 50 million in 300. The wars, migrations, spread of plagues, and abandonment of much family life, including the spread of chastity for religious reasons and of sexual perversions for other reasons, all contributed to this decrease. This had a very adverse influence on economic production as well as on defense, especially when it was combined, after 200, by a flight from the cities to the


from Mesolithic gatherers, it lacked the tradition of masculine violence and the need for war. These societies lasted for about 6000 years.

Eventually new technologies (e.g., the plow and animal husbandry) reduced the economic and social dominance of women and more warlike masculine hunting cultures ultimately moved in. Finally by about 3000 B.C, they had reduced women to the status of more or less chattel. A status that has lasted almost until the dawn of this century.

During the 1950’s or so, due to their greater longevity, wealth (not income) fell into the hands of women such that by some measures women held a greater overall percentage of the nation’s wealth than men. This did not help women much because that wealth was usually managed by men.

Several readers mentioned that I seem to complain a lot in T&T. I am sorry that it comes across like that.

Actually, I see it more as my tendency toward irony, cynicism (cynicism is irony of steroids) and sarcasm (sarcasm is cynicism on cocaine), my bemusement at life’s oddities, and a long standing discomfort with sharing any positive feelings I may have.

the initial issue. Now I’ve logged into my ipsy account & it says I’m not going to get my bag for february at all. I cannot express how frustrating this has been.

I had the exact same issue, and now with two days left of February I just got a shipping notification.
Ipsy was super unhelpful and just kept reassuring me that I would be getting my box. This is my first gbp month, and I likely won’t forget how much of a hassle this has been.

I could have sworn first thing this morning that my lipstick was red, now it says natural OR red. I really hope it’s natural. I also got the balm everyone is talking about, (my favorite) mascara, and the tarte and it palettes. This iswas the only other thing I wanted but it was sold out. I wasnt able to see my reveal at first but kept trying from the email link and it eventually worked. Excited for my box this month! I got the 2 palette I wanted, and I am so happy I did not get the mascara!

– The Tarte shadow palette
– The IT Cosmetics brush
– The Maelle Bronzer
– The Purlisse Mud Exfoliating mask
– The Finding Ferdinand Lipstick in Nob Hill Red (was hoping for Au Natural, I have too many reds even though red is flattering on me.)

This box is a home run for me, I love almost everything in it. I would love the red lipstick if I didn’t have so many reds already.

I’m getting the Tarte palette,


the softest skin ever!!! It’s my new miracle product!! I have also started using it on my son’s eczema!!

I’ve had the same experience with that brand (just a sample) and I got it in my box this time. It seems very versatile based on what I’ve read this morning. I’m going to try it out on my lips for sure because mine are always peeling and it’s impossible for me to wear lipstick. I’ll also try it as a sleep mask. Hopefully we’ll both have a better experience this time.

LXMI (lux-me) is a holy grail for me! I think it is fantastic as a sleeping mask, lip balm, and an “anywhere” balm for excessively dry skin like heels. I apply all the time on my lips, and Iand toxicity have been the primary obstacle to successful "macromolecule therapeutics", this chapter summarizes (a) novel approaches targeting RNA motifs whose three-dimensional structure is critical for biological function and consequently may be less prone to resistance-conferring mutations and (b) improved methods for deliveryDelivery .

Plenary Session 2: Policies to Support Ecosystem Services and Markets

Abstract:

Federal and state agencies play a central role in facilitating or frustrating market-based approaches to the conservation of ecosystem services. Regulations drive most markets but exiting regulations tend to operate in silos consistent with the agencies and programs in which they are imbedded. The transition to a more efficient, effective, and integrated approach to investment in ecosystem services by the public and private sectors that includes both traditional and innovative strategies will require the adoption of enlightened approaches at every level of government. This panel will offer suggestions and dialogue with participants to examine existing authorities and propose new policy directions. Specific issues include revisions to the next Farm Bill,
