isoform shift has been reported ([@B12]., [@B12]) although others have observed the opposite effect, e.g., fast to slow, effect (Short et al., [@B51]). In addition, a high fat diet has been shown to reduce the percentage of fibers expressing type I MHC in rodent and human muscles, suggesting a reduction in overall oxidative capacity, insulin sensitivity, and glucose tolerance (Lillioja et al., [@B32]; Abou Mrad et al., [@B1]; Hickey et al., [@B22]; Kriketos et al., [@B28]).

In recent years, resveratrol (3,5,4′-trihydroxytransstilbene) supplementation has been investigated as a possible strategy to counteract the detrimental impact of physical inactivity- or high fat diet-associated conditions. Resveratrol is a common polyphenolic compound found in the skins of red grapes and in other plant products that has been linked to enhanced longevity in lowerMHC protein of HFS monkeys when compared to HFSR and Con-O animals (Figure [4](#F4){ref-type="fig"}). Western analyses detected lower type IIa MHC protein levels in HFS animals when compared to Con-O and HFSR monkeys (Figure [4](#F4){ref-type="fig"}). Lastly, EDL muscles contained lower levels of type IIa/x MHC in HFSR animals when compared to HFS and Con-O monkeys (Figure [5](#F5){ref-type="fig"}). No differences were detected between groups when assessed for MHC type IIa expression (Figure [5](#F5){ref-type="fig"}). Resveratrol-specific influences on the MHC changes within the soleus and Plt were confirmed using regression analyses when controlling for other possible conflating factors, i.e., muscle mass, body mass, and diet (data not shown).

The high level of MHC type I expression detected in the soleus muscle of rhesus monkeys from the present study parallels the neural recruitment patterns consistently found across other animal species. However, it is unknown whether basal MHC profiles were altered due to the relative state of physical inactivity resulting from standard housing/caging of the rhesus monkeys from the present study (Talmadge, [@B54]).

Age- and diet-related influences on MHC profiles
------------------------------------------------

We did not observe a noticeable impact of age on MHC profiles. The age of monkeys within the Con-O, HFS, and HFSR groups was approximately 50--57% of the estimated 25-year average lifespan; as such, age may not have yet impacted the MHC profiles in these animals. Moran et al. ([@B41])

In order to thoroughly address the practicality of SOMA, let’s first consider what new technologies are presented in the game. SOMA is a sci-fi horror game that follows the protagonist, Simon, who is a brain scan of his former self uploaded onto a robot body. Simon wakes up in an underwater facility called “Pathos-II” approximately one century after his death, only to find out that Earth has become uninhabitable due to an impact with a comet; however, a systems engineer at Pathos-II named Catherine created a project called the “ARK,” where brain scans of people are uploaded onto a virtual world meant to simulate reality. Although Catherine is now deceased, Simon


place. The question of how the brain encodes information has plagued neurobiology ever since the field’s inception. There are many theories of how information is encoded, such as: a rate code theory, where information is simply encoded by the frequency of a neuron’s electrical spikes; a temporal code theory, where information is encoded by the timing of a neuron’s firing with other brain activity such as brain waves; a synchrony code theory, where populations of neurons must fire together in order to successfully project information.[2] Other theories posit that information encoding is an amalgamation of several codes. Although the problem seems impossibly complex, consider the following: you are walking down the street and the smell from a restaurant reminds you of your grandmother’s cooking, and then you startnot be copying the ability or potential of these neurons to change, since this is a constantly shifting phenomenon resulting from chemicals and other signals changing within the brain itself. However, this issue of the inability to “copy plasticity” could seemingly be solved through complex artificial intelligence, which, when meshed with a chip containing a brain scan, could allow a brain copy to learn and adapt; this would both allow Simon to continue learning and forming memories, which is exactly what he does in SOMA as he helps Catherine, as well as enable him to adjust to his new body. New technology today includes the TrueNorth IBM cognitive computing chips, which are inspired by the workings of the brain. The chip is said to contain one million “neurons”

BELSON, Associate Judge:
Appellant contends that the trial court abused its discretion in denying her motion to dismiss appellee's suit for absolute divorce on the ground of forum non conveniens. Further, she asserts that the court's refusal to sign a written order or to make a proper jacket entry reflecting its ruling deprived her of her right to appeal, due process of law, and equal protection of the laws. We affirm.

Factors relevant to the private interest concern the ease, expedition, and expense of the trial, and include the relative ease of access to proof; availability and cost of compulsory process; the enforceability of a judgment once obtained; evidence of an attempt by the plaintiff to vex or harass the defendant by his choice of the forum; and other obstacles to a fair trial.... Factors related to the public interest include administrative difficulties caused by local court634 F.2d 101, 105 (3 Cir.1980), that "an appeal from the denial of a double jeopardy motion does not divest the district court of jurisdiction to proceed with trial, if the district court has found the motion to be frivolous and supported its conclusions by written findings." See also United States v. Dunbar, 611 F.2d 985 (5th Cir. 1980) (en banc). In this jurisdiction, however, we have declined to follow the technique employed in Leppo and Dunbar and instead have relied upon summary appellate proceedings to minimize the abusive use of double jeopardy motions. Coleman v. United States, D.C.App., 414 A.2d 528, 530 (1980).
We decline, however, to apply such a rule in the context of this civil case. There are significant differences between the circumstances *163 that attended

Postcode and Geolocation API for the UK

While working with UK geographical data I often have to extract geolocation information about the UK postcodes. A convenient way to do it in R is to use geocode function from the ggmap package. This function provides latitude and longitude information using Google Maps API. This is very useful for mapping data points but doesn’t provide information about UK-specific administrative division.
I got fed up of merging my list of postcodes with a long list of corresponding wards etc., so I looked for smarter ways of getting this info.
That’s how I came across http://postcodes.io/ which is free, open source, and based solely on open data. This service is an API to geolocate UK postcode and provide additional administrative information. Full0}, {0, -(Y/(1 - nu^2))}}.Inactive[Grad][

City Attorney Will Not Press Charges Against Westlake Security Guard Who Pepper Sprayed Raymond Wilford

Alex Garland

Will the pepper-spraying Westlake Center security guard—the one who sprayed a black man in the face, instead of dealing with the shirtless white man who protesters said was yelling racial epithets and instigating fights on August 9 outside the downtown shopping center—be punished?

Not by the Seattle City Attorney's office, which has decided not to charge him with assault.

"He appears to have discharged the pepper spray in self-defense," said spokesperson Kimberly Mills in an e-mail on Wednesday.

Raymond Wilford, reached by phone in South Seattle, where he lives, said sarcastically: "Justice's been served, again." He added: "They say the law works for who it wants to."

Wilford said city investigators never contacted him. "I'm very disappointed,"explicit provision in their agreement directed to that issue.

Pennsylvania law because of Pennsylvania's strong public policy interest in enforcing its Workmen's Compensation Act.4  Vistek contends that Pennsylvania law should govern because the underlying action involved a Pennsylvania worker, the accident occurred in Pennsylvania and the indemnity claim was against a Pennsylvania employer.

18
Vistek is correct about the character of the underlying action and also that Pennsylvania has a strong interest in protecting the terms of the PWCA, but Vistek misconstrues the issue that this court must resolve.  This case does not implicate the PWCA.  The immunity of the employer (Vistek) under the PWCA does not affect the obligation of the lessee (also Vistek) to defend and indemnify the lessor (Heller) from any liability under the terms of its financial arrangement with Heller.

The agreement betweenthe district court will be reversed and the case remanded with directions to reinstate Heller's third-party complaint and for such further proceedings as are consistent with this opinion.5

to expect stuff to happen, and it's happening. The curtailment of the internet, the putdown and protests.

And what we saw, the protesters in the street today are women, mostly older people who are -- a million driven out of their homes-- to make room for the plush hotels that westerners will be staying in, and athletes will be staying in.

That's what happens in a command economy, in a command society that's run by Leninists. So you have got to expect that.

But look, this is a political event. When the Olympics were given to countries like Italy, Japan, and Germany in the 60's and 70's, it was a way to welcome them back into the international community after the second World War.

It's also a way of anointing a countryosteoporotic patients than in controls. In men, the mean values (+/- standard deviation [SD]) for relatives were 91 +/- 16 mg/cm3, and for controls, 129 +/- 21 mg/cm3 (P less than 0.001). In women, the mean values for relatives were 96 +/- 17 mg/cm3 and for controls, 126 +/- 19 mg/cm3 (P less than 0.001). In the osteoporotic patients, the corrected mean value for men was 53 +/- 12 mg/cm3, and for women, 77 +/- 20 mg/cm3. The os calcis values did not correlate with the spine values and were mostly well within the normal range. Mean bone mass is lower in apparently healthy young and middle-aged adult relatives of osteoporotic patients than in normal persons with no family history of osteoporosis. Our findings suggest that the failure

Johns next contends that the Alabama case is different from the present case because the victim was older, was a nonrelative, and consented to sexual relations with Johns. However, this argument is without merit. It is well established that "[s]imilar transactions need not be identical to be admitted, and in cases involving sexual offenses, that rule is to be liberally construed. Absent an abuse of discretion, we will not disturb a trial court's determination that similar transaction evidence is admissible."[3] We find no such abuse here.

to help back up our scientific position on it.

Paul has taken a variety of different steps in his career, but all focused on helping to educate folks about the importance of our marine ecology, and the importance of our bays and estuaries. Very involved with our artificial reef team and led that, one of the members of the Clipper team.

At Expo, you may have seen a booth that Paul designed that was our most popular one. He designed a shooting sports deal where kids could bring their Coke cans and then put them in a gun and then try to shoot it into a basket, and the kids just loved it. And Paul has got just a world of creativity.

At the San Antonio Livestock Show and Rodeo eventher leadership, and her innovation, and we are very, very proud to have her with us. So Loraine Fries, 25 years of service.

(Applause.)

MR. SMITH: We have got a class of game wardens that we are going to now recognize for their 25 years of service. And we are going to start out with one who was raised in the hills of Edwards County. He is a third-generation game warden. Jay Guthrie, his grandfather was a game warden back in the '50s and '60s. He is the grandson and great-grandson, and maybe the great-great-grandson of an Edwards County ranching family.

They have got a beautiful place on the Llano River just north of Rocksprings. Jay followed in the footsteps of both his grandfather and father. When he got out of


of cake, and he was gently rebuffed, then rather firmly rebuffed, Craig marched in and introduced himself as a highly decorated veteran officer, and he thought the Executive Office owed law enforcement, in particular him, at least a piece of cake. Pete, I want you to know that.

So Craig has had a very long and distinguished career inside this Agency. And started out obviously as a cadet. The story that you hear from his classmates, apparently, the first night, they had had a long day, and they were in their bunks. And Craig had drawn the black bean and was on the top bunk. And Henry Leal who is in Laredo was on the bottom bunk.

And sometime at midnight, a couple of the wardens woke up and theybe very instrumental in helping to get that restored. And we are very proud to have her. She also has a daughter that works for this Agency as a Game Warden. Chrissy Huth out at Val Verde County, a recent graduate of our Academy. And I know that Leah is very proud of her service. So Leah Huth, 20 years of service to our State Parks Division. Leah, please come forward.

(Applause.)

MR. SMITH: Last, but not least, Danny Davis. Danny has also been with us 20 years up in Ranger, Texas. Danny is one of our Fish and Wildlife technicians. Started out in the State Park System there at Fort Griffin and then transferred over to — well, actually stayed there and worked with the state longhorn herd. And


their sons, Adam and Alex, and Arthur, and their family who have come in from the Piney Woods and their extended family all here on the second row. As you know, Barbara was a long-standing presence by Commissioner Parker's side at every one of these Commission meetings.

And it feels awfully good to have you back in this room, I want you to know.

"Whereas in November, 2003, John D. Parker of Lufkin, Texas, was appointed by Governor Rick Perry to the Texas Parks and Wildlife Commission;

"And whereas Commissioner Parker served as a Texas Parks and Wildlife Commissioner, and as Chairman of the Commission's Ad Hoc Infrastructure Committee until the date of his death on January 26, 2009;

"Whereas Commissioner Parker deeply loved wildlife, the out-of-doors, and was a tireless championpresented this proposal to the Texas Wildlife Association and the Texas Deer Association. The Texas Wildlife Association they have heard this proposal in November. Their executive committee again, with their deer committee has heard it in December, and we visited again in February. So we fully expressed and tried to present this proposal to those folks, and explain what we are looking at.

And it has also been presented, the Texas Deer Association representatives in February. Both of those groups did not support our early deadline, or the January 1 deadline. And they have offered alternatives from as early as January 20 to February 1, and even March 1, in just some of the conversations they had. Nonetheless, they disagreed with our proposed deadline change.

And just in summary, I


I will be quick.

COMMISSIONER HOLT: Yes. No problem.

MR. KINSEL: I would like to address that, too. Because I think that is a great thing that the Department has offered. And I think there is something here, we are maybe missing the boat on it. We are all extremely guilty of, especially from the associations, TDA and TWA and from the Department.

No matter what we do, if we don't mark it, what it is, so that the people can know. Alan specifically said, Well, maybe this is the problem. Or Clayton, I believe, problem for a year, and then everybody will know. But in the same paragraph he said, there is a lot of them that come up here that don't know anything, so how are they going tothe potential for over-exploitation by angling. Many have enacted regulations with little or no data. Some desire to make their regulations more restrictive. Arkansas has even expressed an interest in using the Texas data to help build their case for more restrictive limits next year, in Arkansas.

The map on your screen there shows the general distribution of alligator gar populations in Texas. We have viable populations in areas. One is the Trinity River system and a few reservoirs in Texas, and also in our coastal bays and estuaries. It is important to note that alligator gar is only one of four species of gar in the State of Texas. There is generally less recreational interest in the long nose, spotted, and the short nose gar.

Alligator gar get very


show you there, the current buck bag limit in East Texas or the eastern part of the state, and you will see how that ranges anywhere from one to two bucks, and antler restrictions. And we have proposed antler restrictions for an additional 52 counties in Texas.

As far as public comment on these proposals, we segregated those by the addition of the extra buck and the bag limit there in the eastern Rolling Plains. Eighty-seven percent of the individuals that commented agreed with this proposal. In the antler restriction counties, we received 635 comments, and 67 percent of the individuals agreed. And as I indicated yesterday, some of the comments we receive, some of the rationale folks were disagreeing with our proposal, and staff response, but I won'tthe close of the general season, and runs for 14 days. We also have a muzzle loader season. However, the muzzle loader season doesn't start until the Saturday after the close of the general season, and runs for nine days. And so the first thing we have proposed is to make those seasons run consistent.

And in addition, we have proposed to expand those. So if you will look at your map, first up there in the Panhandle area, recalling that, we have a need for increased control of deer numbers; we are proposing — we have proposed to expand the modern firearm antlers and spike season up through the central part of the State. I will back up one more slide. If you will look over there to


these would start the same as our late antlerless and spike seasons and our muzzle loader seasons.

All these seasons would start the Monday, the close of the general season and run for 14 consecutive days. 508 people commented on this particular proposal; 80 percent agreeing. You have heard me say many times that our Whitetail Deer Advisory Committee has been working on various rules relating to cold storage and processing, waste of game, tagging, et cetera. And we do know that some legislation has been filed downtown.

And that there is some legislation in place that would actually implement recommendations of our Whitetail Deer Advisory Committee. However, one of those issues dealing with tagging requirements and when tagging requirements cease, this Commission can deal with, because this Commission hasstaff as to whether tagging requirements that we speak to in this proposal simply apply to tags and permits or whether it also applied to wildlife resource documents, requirements and proof of sex requirements. So staff is withdrawing this particular proposal. And we propose to go back to the Texas Register and propose that wildlife resource document and proof of sex requirement cease when the carcass-tagging requirements cease. Additionally, we will also be looking at language that provides this Commission and also our advisory body, such as the Whitetail Deer Advisory Committee the broadest latitude in trying to decide when those cease.

And by proposing this, then we will have the latitude or this Commission will have the latitude and the Advisory Committee will have the latitude if they


flounder all my life. I am here today to speak to the Commission on what I believe to be a horrible business decision that is about to be made concerning flounder, and floundering.

Being a businessman myself, I could never back the recommendations that I have seen presented by the Parks and Wildlife based on the data that was presented at the meetings that I attended. It is my belief that no changes need to be made concerning floundering because we don't feel there is a problem with the flounder population.

I have here a diary that I have kept of my floundering trips over the last 11 years; 73 trips in all. And they were all gigging flounder at night. According to the Parks and Wildlife data, I shouldspeeds, rain and fog are natural occurrences. They restrict floundering at night. You must have calm winds and clear water to flounder at night. Let Mother Nature take care of the month of November and all the winter months, because she has done a great job so far.

The other part of argument is cutting the possession limit two years ago. Before that change, you were allowed 10 flounder per day, which means 20 in possession. That would be 10 before midnight and 10 after midnight. This possession limit was reduced in half by making this change.

The reduction slowed the number of boats, and the amount of time people spent floundering, especially after midnight. We do not see as many boats as we did two years ago, on the


HOLT: Thank you, sir.

MR. BRANNEN: Appreciate your time.

COMMISSIONER HOLT: We appreciate you taking the time. Sam Lovell up and Chris Jones next.

MR. LOVELL: My name is Sam Lovell and my partner and I own and operate a bow-fishing guide service on the Trinity River. I am opposed to any harvest restrictions on gar. And the reason being is, because I have seen an increase in gar over the last several years. And I believe that mainly due to the crackdown of illegal netters. And I believe that any restriction could lead to overpopulation of these gar.

And it was mentioned that the gar are not prolific spawners. But in the last 20 years, I have seen the gar spawn on the Trinity River every year. Where females and malesare spawning. So that is my belief on that. Also, I have an age to length chart that Texas Parks and Wildlife had given me that I would like to talk about, if I could maybe show it to the Commission. Is that all right?

COMMISSIONER HOLT: Sure.

MR. LOVELL: I have a memory stick, but I wouldn't know where to plug it in at, so I will just let you all look at the hard copies and it will probably be a lot easier. Like I said, that was handed to me by Texas Parks and Wildlife. They did the study on age and length on the gar.

And although, you know, I can't say that gar don't live to be 50 to 75 years old, they might do it.


hole. You can catch fish all day long.

Hooking mortality with catch and release on that, that is something to study. You know, they are saying they don't kill any gar that they catch. Do they? Do they not? They are hooked deeply in the intestines to hook. They will not hook in the mouth. They have to be hooked in the guts to be caught. What is the mortality on that? Let's see. I think that is about it.

But we need more association with Parks and Wildlife and the bow fishermen to get good data before any decisions are made. We do want the largest best population of gar that we can have. Thank you.

COMMISSIONER HOLT: Thank you.

COMMISSIONER FRIEDKIN: Just a quick question, if I can please.

COMMISSIONER HOLT:Like I said, I am an all around outdoorsman. I try to do as much hunting and fishing, you know, as my wife and family allows me to do, and I take them with me quite a bit too. So speaking of deer hunting, I am in favor of more opportunities, and the addition of muzzle-loading days is much appreciated.

I am a primitive hunter, thus the archery hunting, and it brings out the muzzle loader hunting in me as well. The Youth Day proposal, while it is a step in the right direction, 10 days during the week I believe are a waste of time. Most school age children return to school on or about the 2nd of January. I would like to see maybe a few additional


with the new regulations, if there are some put in place today. And then in here, we continue. And if we have to make adjustments along the way, then we certainly do. I just, it is more of a comment than anything.

COMMISSIONER HOLT: Right. Thank you, Commissioner Martin. I think that is very true. That is part of our job, and part of the staff's job is to continually assess.

Commissioner Bivins?

COMMISSIONER BIVINS: I still have some fundamental concern on this gar issue, as to whether or not the data set we have is sufficient to justify what we are talking about. But in thinking about the one-fish-a-day limit, I know that these sport fishermen out there that do this as a livelihood perhaps need more opportunity.

But as ankinds of species, not just alligator gar. And I think most of them spoke to that. And so we are leaving all of those opportunities there.

So there is plenty of opportunity. And I think this Commission, certainly as the Chairman, I feel strongly has to lean to being conservative, even if we "don't have all the data." And I guess on almost any species, we will never have all the data.

And I am not trying to be facetious or sarcastic here. I am just saying, certainly from my point of view, from what I have watched and observed over the last five years on this Commission is that when we have made conservative decisions and then continued to study, we have always made the right decision no matter


we have to direct that that whole amendment be added.

COMMISSIONER HOLT: I think we have to define it. And I think what Commissioner Hixon is asking is, is it going to stay as it was originally recommended by Robin, which means you close November.

COMMISSIONER HIXON: Right.

COMMISSIONER HOLT: The discussions we had, and if I said this right. Correct me if I am wrong. So don't hesitate to correct me. Yesterday, the discussions were that we would leave it open for rod and reel only, so that would be one change. And I think Commissioner Hixon has an issue with that.

And as we have talked about, she of course has the right to vote any way she wants. And then there is the issue of the number, which weHOLT: The language.

MR. SMITH: They are right next to one another, so we can toggle back and forth when we get there.

COMMISSIONER HOLT: No. That is fine. Let's look at it.

COMMISSIONER HIXON: No, that is — I just guess —

COMMISSIONER HOLT: No. You are trying to get clarity, I think. You are asking good questions, here. Before we vote on anything, I think we had better be clear on what we are voting on. Yes. Okay. So okay. Because I don't know exactly where it is in my computer.

Allow the hook and line fishery only, a bag limit of two, three, five, for the month of November, but you also, Ann, and correct me, or Robin. Really, we have to first make a decision whether we are going


gig or rod and reel, commercial or. So I think we are trying to find a bit of happy median here, but not go too much one way or the other.

I don't think there was a recommendation on the other months, and personally, I would like not to get this thing too confusing. Are you okay with that? So we still have a motion from Commissioner Duggins. Do I have a second?

MR. SMITH: Chairman, can you clarify that motion? A little confusion on the staff end as to what exactly that motion is.

COMMISSIONER HOLT: Commissioner Duggins ought to be able to do that.

COMMISSIONER DUGGINS: The motion is to permit for the month of November recreational rod and reel fishing to take two a day. And to close thequestion.

MS. BRIGHT: But I would like to just address the legalities of this. Really, the way that the proposal process works, and what the law basically says, is that if the rule is adopted is a natural outgrowth of the rule as proposed, it is going to be permissible.

The other thing that staff tends to do is, for example, this is the rule, maybe on the far left. And the staff will propose the rule on the far right, knowing that if the Commission adopts anything in between, that is something that should not be a surprise to the general public. So this is well within that.

COMMISSIONER HOLT: Thank you, Ann. With that —

Yes, sir. Commissioner Duggins.

COMMISSIONER DUGGINS: Mr. Boyd, I do want to comment, or I want


review process. In January of 2009, the Commission authorized us to make changes that came out of that rule review process. And we are here today to seek permission to adopt the rules. I am just going to go through these. On Chapter 57, it concerns fisheries. This Chapter was actually in very good shape, because as you will recall, we do, when we do the Statewide, a lot of times, we will go through and correct these pretty much every year.

However, we did notice that there were a few things that needed to be corrected. Primarily, having to do with species names and references, in subchapters A and B. And then I am going to skip to D, to E, which just has to do with theRegister for Chapters 53, 59 and 69. For Chapter 69, there were actually no changes that were necessary.

Chapter 53, we had published some proposed changes, but with the discussion yesterday about the fee increases, and the way that the Texas Register rulemaking process works, some of these sections are the same sections that are impacted by the rules, by the fee increase. And just given the timing, we really can't do both of them. We can't do these and then go do the fee increases.

So we are going to roll those rule review changes into the Chapter 53 fee increases. Does that make sense? Does it not make sense?

COMMISSIONER DUGGINS: For next month? I mean, for May?

COMMISSIONER HOLT: Yes. May.

MS. BRIGHT: Yes. We actually did a fairly comprehensive


together, make these clearer, do all of the things that we hope to do in a rule review process.

The comments we received, five, seven agreed, five disagreed. One was concerned with the deletion of a reference to the WMAs in Section 59.64. However, the WMAs still are referenced in these rules. And this has to do with how we classify our properties. I think there was a concern that we were excluding WMA classification. One was concerned with the placement of the term "aboriginal." It is not a term apparently that is used by professionals.

Again, the historic site classification didn't really go into a lot of detail. One person actually wanted us to loosen up on the nudity rules.

COMMISSIONER HOLT: Walt.

(Simultaneous discussion.)

COMMISSIONER HOLT: You have become a prude,actually conducted 10 basic wildland firefighter-training courses, reaching more than 263 park staff. A basic wildland firefighter-training course is a one-week class, 40 hours, and it takes our state park staff and trains them in the basics of wildland firefighting, wildland fire behavior and proper use of personal protective equipment.

So you can see in the bottom right, it actually teaches them how to use a fire shelter as well as in the top right, this is an advanced glass, where we actually use sand table exercises to basically play and to determine, if an incident were to happen, how would we manage that incident. Then we took our equipment, and what would it take to get to national standards? Well, immediately, we had to increase our personal protective


experience level has increased. The next element we had to implement to maintain NWCG standards is we now require physical fitness for all of our firefighters to actually work on the fire line with us. Currently, we have 165 firefighters currently certified either at the Arduous or Moderate level through the NWCG standards.

Another element that we had to adjust our system was implementing the incident and command system in all of our incidents. All of our prescribed fires and wildfires alike. Instant command system was actually developed through mutual aid wildfire response, where numerous agencies, fire departments responded to a given incident but there was no sense of organization. It was total chaos.

There was no one to look to on who was in charge of the whole incident.close by a state park that experiences a wildfire, who do we call to look to, to step in?

MR. SPARKS: Okay. The NWCG, or National Wildfire Coordinating Group are standards, are national standards that are utilized by agencies throughout the country. U.S. Forest Service in Texas utilizes them. National Parks Service, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the Nature Conservancy and the Texas Forest Service. The Texas Forest Service being the primary state agency that we deal with.

As far as who would we call if we did not have a firefighter? Our goal is to actually get firefighters at every state park, and we are nearly there. But if there was not a firefighter working that day, or we did not have our preparedness beefed up, then it would


to Number 10. Item Number 10, briefing, National Boating Safety Advisory Council.

Major Al Campos. Al.

MR. CAMPOS: Good afternoon, Commissioners. Mr. Chairman. My briefing item is on the National Boating Safety Advisory Council commonly called BSAC for Boating Safety Advisory Council. It was established by the Federal Boat Safety Act of 1971. And the Council itself consists of 21 persons drawn equally from state officials, boating industry officials, and representatives of the general public or National Boating Safety organizations.

The Secretary of Homeland Security appoints council members. I was appointed by then Secretary Michael Chertoff in 2005. The Council generally advises or provides advice to Congress and to the U.S. Coast Guard on a broad range of boating safety issues, in an effort to reduce boating accidents and fatalities. Theother questions or comments on that?

(No response.)

COMMISSIONER HOLT: Okay. Well, is this actually true? We are getting to the end here. Yes. We are at the end. Did I miss anything?

MR. SMITH: No, sir.

COMMISSIONER HOLT: Okay. This Commission has completed its business. I declare us adjourned. Thank you all very much. Thank you all who stayed, too. It went on a while.

(Whereupon, the meeting was adjourned at 2:30 p.m.)

In official recognition hereof, we hereby affix our signatures as approved this 26th day of March 2009.

2. Materials and methods {#sec0010}
========================

2.1. Study area and sampling sites {#sec0015}
----------------------------------

Jubail Industrial City is situated in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) between 27.0000° N and 49.6667° E. Three sampling sites were chosen as follows: Site 1 (26.99° N, 49.57° E), Site 2 (27.01° N, 49.52° E), and Site 3 (27.12° N, 49.57° E). The three sites were located in different parts of the run-off canal system and had different flow characteristics: one was stagnant, one was slow flowing, and the other was fast flowing ([Fig. 1](#fig0005){ref-type="fig"}). Water and sediment samples were collected from the threein cardiomyocyte, resulting in changes of the related currents: TNF-α inhibits IKr, IKs and IK1 currents, while IL-1 and IL-6 enhance the L-type Ca^2+^ current. (ii) Anti-Ro/SSA-52kD directly cross-react with the extracellular loop of the hERG-potassium channel pore-forming region, leading to IKr inhibition with APD and QTc prolongation. APD, action potential duration; QTc, heart rate-corrected QT interval; TNF-α, tumour necrosis factor α; IL-1, interleukin-1; IL-6, interleukin-6; Na^+^, sodium; Ca^2+^, calcium; K^+^, potassium; INa, sodium current; Ito, transient outward current; ICaL, L(long-lasting)-type calcium current; IKr, rapid component of the delayed rectifier potassium current; IKs, slow component of the delayed rectifier potassium current; IK1, inward rectifier potassium current; anti-Ro/SSA-52kD, anti-Ro/SSA-52kD antibodies. *Modiified from*: Lazzerini *et al*.[@R4]](lupus2016000189f01){#LUPUS2016000189F1}

The long QT syndrome (LQTS) is a multifactorial disorder characterised by a prolonged heart rate-corrected


ECG repolarisation parameters in a cross-sectional study involving 189 patients with autoimmune chronic inflammatory diseases, 50 affected with SLE and 139 with RA. The authors reported that non-specific ST-T abnormalities were significantly more common (∼fivefold), and mean QTc significantly longer (∼25 ms) in SLE when compared with patients with RA. Since RA is associated with a similarly increased cardiovascular risk, thus representing a good control group for patients with SLE, the authors concluded that the different prevalence of repolarisation alterations observed between the two populations is a robust finding. The risk of presenting non-specific ST-T abnormalities increased with older age in patients with SLE, while was associated with male sex in patients with RA. As regards QTc duration, statins use was inversely associated with this parameter in patients withthat. But then Mike gets all screwy, all tied up in integrity, when he writes, “The press is so hostile to Trump that it has broken new ground in what reporters are allowed to say in ostensibly ‘objective’ news articles and broadcasts… But every insult from the hated media just makes Trump stronger.”

Here’s a tip, Mike: you snooze, you lose. I mean, this ain’t no disco, this ain’t no Mudd Club, this ain’t no Baby Hitler. What gives you the daft idea that the media is hostile to Trump? They love—lurve—the big galoot, not only because his whirlwind of appearances are like, a blast and a half to cover, and so much more entertaining than listening to Marco Rubio talk about taxes, and is the gift that keeps


on giving now that all those hot takes about how Hillary smoked the GOP in the Benghazi uber-inquisition are done. Trump’s every speech brings a rainstorm of fucking great quotes. It’s almost like Watergate for the kid journos who missed all those hot takes in ’73 and ’74.

Here’s the thing, Mike (and like, I’m really embarrassed that this needs 2 b spelled out): The media wants Trump to win. You could stay inside and play games, idk, but after the funfest is over, when Hillary is nominated, what could be better than if the modern Horatio Alger, who got a “small” loan of $1 million from old man to start out in building a trazillion Xanadus, actually wins the GOP nomination. The House is, probs, out of reach,7% were false positives. A study of the usability of the tool TRACE was also carried out. After a brief training seminar, five physicians and four nurses designed a number of alarms with this tool. They were then asked to fill in the standard System Usability Scale test. The average score was 68.2. The proposal presented herein for describing monitoring criteria, comprising the MFTP model and TRACE, permits the supervision of monitoring criteria that cannot be represented by means of thresholds, and makes it possible to construct alarms that give a rate of false positives far below that for threshold alarms.

the real Jordan Belfort's Long Island, New York brokerage house. Belfort and co-founder Danny Porush (played by Jonah Hill in the movie) chose the name because it sounded prestigious (NYTimes.com). The firm would later be accused of manipulating the IPOs of at least 34 companies, including Steve Madden Ltd. (their biggest deal), Dualstar Technologies, Paramount Financial, D.V.I. Financial, M. H. Meyerson & Co., Czech Industries, M.V.S.I. Technology, Questron Technologies, and Etel Communications.

What exactly did Jordan Belfort do that was illegal?

Belfort's Stratton Oakmont brokerage firm ran a classic "pump and dump" operation. Belfort and several of his executives would buy up a particular company's stock and then have an army of brokers (following a script he had prepared) sell it to unsuspecting investors. This would cause the stock tofor takeoff in the movie (left). According to the real Belfort (right, shirtless), he did nearly crash his private helicopter while high on drugs. Leonardo DiCaprio prepares for takeoff in the movie (left).

Did Danny Porush really marry his own first cousin?

Yes. According to Jordan Belfort's memoir, the real Donnie Azoff (whose actual name is Danny Porush) did marry his first cousin Nancy "because she was a real piece of ass." After twelve years of marriage, the couple divorced in 1998 after Danny told Nancy that he was in love with another woman (NYPost.com). Danny and his ex-wife share three children together.

Did Belfort and his colleagues really have drug-addled nights and sexcapades with prostitutes on a near daily basis?

Though the movie and Belfort's memoir might seem like gross exaggerations


them to unsuspecting suckers. Billing Madden's company as the hottest issue on Wall Street, Belfort's brokers in turn drove up the price. Eventually, Steve Madden was to sell off his shares when the hype was at its peak, just before the stock began its inevitable decline. Similar to what is seen in the movie, Belfort still maintains that Steve Madden tried to steal his Steve Madden shares from him. However, Jordan Belfort did make approximately $23 million in two hours as part of the deal with Steve Madden, who would later be charged as an accomplice to Belfort's scheme. -NYTimes.com

For his part, Steve Madden was sentenced to 41 months in prison and was forced to resign as CEO of Steve Madden Ltd. He also resigned from the company'sprison and encouraged him to write the book. What was Jordan Belfort's punishment?

When he was finally arrested in 1998 for money laundering and securities fraud, Jordan Belfort was sentenced to four years in prison. This was after agreeing to wear a wire and provide the FBI with information to help prosecute various friends and associates. In the end, the true story reveals that he served only 22 months in a California federal prison. His cellmate in prison was Tommy Chong of "Cheech and Chong" fame, who was serving a nine month sentence for selling bongs. -TheDailyBeast.com

What inspired Jordan Belfort to write his memoir?

It wasn't so much a what as it was a who. Tommy Chong (one half of "Cheech and Chong") was Jordan Belfort's cellmate in prison. After


Wall Street movie, Porush said, "I really have no comment other than to say I would never try to profit from a crime I'm so remorseful for." -NYPost.com

I heard that Jordan Belfort is a motivational speaker, is that true?

The real Jordan Belfort became a motivational speaker and corporate consultant. The real Jordan Belfort became a motivational speaker and corporate consultant.

How much did Jordan Belfort earn from his books and the movie?

Ironically, yes. In addition to writing two books, The Wolf of Wall Street and its sequel Catching the Wolf of Wall Street , the real Jordan Belfort works as a motivational speaker and a private and corporate consultant. As a motivational speaker, he is sometimes paid more than $30,000 a speech (TheDailyBeast.com). His personal website states that hethe uterus causing an increased risk of endometrial cancer (cancer of the uterus).

To neutralise the risk of overstimulation, women who have not had a hysterectomy need to take progesterone or a synthetic form known as 'progestin' together with the oestrogen. 'Progestogens' is the name used to refer both to the natural form of progesterone and the synthetic form 'progestin'.

Testosterone therapy

Women experiencing loss of libido, lack of energy and ongoing fatigue, even when taking oestrogen therapy, sometimes benefit from low dose testosterone replacement. Testosterone treatment in women aims to restore levels to the typical range seen in a young woman in her early 20s.

Some studies have shown women who experience a loss of sexual interest at menopause may benefit from testosterone therapy when it is used together with oestrogen.

A


in women has been associated with an increased risk of developing:

oily skin

acne

excess facial and body hair growth

scalp hair loss

irritability

aggression

Serious potential side effects include lowering of the voice and enlargement of the clitoris, both of which are irreversible.

One study of testosterone only treatment in postmenopausal women reported an increased risk of breast cancer compared to women who had received a placebo, or dummy treatment.

If you are considering testosterone therapy, talk to your doctor to gain a clear understanding of what is currently known about this therapy. It is essential for women undergoing testosterone treatment to be supervised by doctors who are experts in this area.

Tibolone or Livial

Tibolone (sold as Livial) is a synthetic hormone and its actions are similar to oestrogen, progesterone and testosterone.

Tibolone acts like

What it affects

Symptoms itneeded. HRT should be reviewed regularly in consultation with your doctor.

If it is taken for more than five years, it is 'long-term HRT'. After five years, the need to continue should be reviewed annually and the reason for taking HRT reassessed.

In 10% of women menopausal symptoms may continue for longer than 10 years and some women have menopausal symptoms into their 60s, 70s and even 80s. These women may require HRT for symptom control for long periods. A discussion with your doctor about how to manage menopause symptoms long-term is important if this is happening to you. Some women can take HRT safely for many years but this must be assessed on an individual basis and be supported with regular reviews by a doctor.

Ways to take HRT

Pills

Other natural & complementary therapies

Research has considered other therapies for managing menopause symptoms such as:

acupuncture

traditional Chinese medicine

nutrition

Over the counter products

Information to consider:

Some of the herbal products available over the counter are not the same products a traditional herbalist would prescribe

The quality of some Australian-manufactured herbal medicines made for naturopaths and herbalists is considered excellent

The quality of medicines made for over the counter use may vary

The quality and source of herbal remedies purchased over the internet may be questionable

Some herbal products may contain herbs which should not be used inQ:

On Sunday, deputies were investigating reports of teenagers asking adults to buy alcohol and cigarettes. The deputies approached Turner as he left the store with his 19-year-old son and a 16-year-old juvenile whom authorities have not identified.

The deputies detained Turner while they investigated. According to reports from the sheriff’s office, Turner initially complied with deputies but then decided to leave.

Deputies said a scuffle occurred when they tried to stop Turner. Deputy Aaron Nadal was hit on the back of the head with a bag holding two, 24-ounce cans of beer before Deputy Wesley Kraft drew his handgun and fired twice at Turner, authorities said.

Friends and family told the newspaper they have trouble believing authorities’ account of the story. Coach Collins said, “The deputy must havelingering

Bates went into hiding for three weeks and the office hired armed guards. Bates
testified that she had never worked on another case where she felt so threatened for
her own safety.

      Appellant’s ex-wife, Jessica Bell, detailed a similar history of aggression.
She testified that she was involved in several charges against appellant, including
harassment, making a terroristic threat, and violation of a protective order. Bell

But the bread isn’t meant to distract you because hardly one beer into a good conversation our six raw oysters arrived with two sauces, a classic cocktail sauce and “dive sauce,” a mix of vinegar, cilantro and peppercorn.

The waiter explained the kind of oysters we had (California, Raspberry and a third neither me or nor my dinner companion could remember). The sound of cheerful slurping around the restaurant — including our own — let’s you know that Pearl Dive is legitimate.

A few moments later our oyster po’boy sandwiches and fries arrive — a meal we were hoping would stave the chill off our rainy day. My companion tried the CEBLT po’boy —a lot of hours.

Sorry for the delay in responding. I really like what you said up here and
upvoted you for it.

In the hope you see this, I have another question for you: in the startup
world, what recourse is there against unethical competition? Some companies
like Uber (esp. in Boston, NYC), are able to fight the good fight. Others,
like Padmapper, are trying to do so.

But for the majority of companies, legal recourse (especially looking for
legislative redress rather

A virus is a piece of information that exploits a security vulnerability in an
existing complex system, tricking the system into propagating the virus to its
own detriment. Remember the word originally only applied where the target was
a living cell. The usage where the target is a digital computer might have
been considered a metaphor, but the deep structural similarity outweighs the
difference in substrate, sufficiently to merit considering the new usage a
valid extension.

Zynga 'games' are viruses that exploit security vulnerabilities in the human
mind. The extension of usage is just as defensible as the original extension
to digital computers.

terrorism is a "systematic use of violence and intimidation to achieve some
goal" (dictionary.com). Zynga 'games' are acts of terrorism that attack the
human mind to achieve their goals.

What a bunchthe "negative/passive"
way in which this is done.

Zynga actively creates an ecosystem that ensures that the most successful
viruses (i.e. <b>your social game</b>) have to conform to the most successful
strategies, precisely because it is so metric / psychologically driven. If you
want to compete against a dominant virus, aping the same Skinner-driven models

terms.

But you're aiming at the wrong target. Facebook isn't purely a host, it's also
a virus. In fact, it benefits from a relationship where it isn't the "worst"
virus, as this makes it more attractive to users (i.e. changing security /
functionality / sharing of user data being the more obvious examples), while
the ecological impact Zynga provides allows it to act more aggressively as a
virus (i.e. your user base becomes used to virus tactics).

Janne,

My sitting practice has been inconsistent for some time now, and I have confidence that my commitment to Ango at Treeleaf will help get that daily practice going again.

The funny thing is, though, that even during the periods of time when I've been sitting daily--I pretty much sat daily from some point in late 2004 or early 2005 to the beginning of 2008--my mind does not slow down much. It does slow down on the cushion, over the course of a sitting period, but immediately ramps back up to a high level of activity as soon as the period ends. Intensive sits ofhave held back information from Mr Trump.

The officials emphasised that they know of no instance in which crucial information about security threats or potential plotting has been omitted. Still, the misgivings that have emerged among intelligence officials point to the fissures spreading between the White House and the US spy agencies.

Mr Trump, a Republican, asked on Monday night for the resignation of Mike Flynn, his national security adviser, after the White House said the president lost trust in him, in part, because he misstated the nature of his conversations with the Russian ambassador.

Last night, Mr Trump castigated the intelligence agencies and the news media, blaming them for Mr Flynn’s downfall.

“The real scandal here is that classified information is illegally given out by ‘intelligence’ like candy. Very un-American!” Mr


US ambassador to Russia and had good intentions.

“They both continue to support each other,” this person said.

For intelligence veterans, who had hoped that Mr Trump’s feud with the agencies might have subsided, Wednesday’s comments renewed and deepened concerns.

“This is not about who won the election. This is about concerns about institutional integrity,” said Mark Lowenthal, a former senior intelligence official.

“It’s probably unprecedented to have this difficult a relationship between a president and the intelligence agencies,” Mr Lowenthal said. “I can’t recall ever seeing this level of friction. And it’s just not good for the country.”

Several congressional probes are examining Russia’s alleged meddling in the election. On Wednesday, the Republican and Democratic leaders of the Senate Judiciary Committee requested a Justice Department briefing and documents related to Mr Flynn’sto be exploited and impoverished.”

Government workers don’t contribute to the tax rolls; they FEED OFF the tax roles. We pay our taxes so an elite class of bureaucrats can have TWICE the wages and benefits that we get for doing the exact same jobs. And then our tax dollars go to fund the Democrat Party so they can pass an un-American agenda. Big labor money is TEN TIMES anything conservatives have in special interests. And again, the most disgusting thing of all is that it’s our own damn money that is being used to attack the private sector workers who paid it in taxes.

One of the problems with unions is that the quickly become just another vehicle to take advantage of workers. They have three priorities: 1) the


troubled by that – troubled enough to not vote for this fascist – is UN-American.

What Obama has done is provide an example of out-and-out lawlessness on the part of the president of the United States. And when we get a hard-core right wing president the way Obama has been a hard-core left wing president, Obama and the Democrat Party and all of those who voted for Obama and the Democrat Party will be entirely to blame for that president and his extremist actions. You mark my words. Because what goes around comes around, and if a Democrat can set aside the law the way Obama has now repeatedly done, well, guess who’s going to be stomping on your necks under your own president’s prior justification??? Conservatives are risingwill lose. Because this is a bitter war to the end, now. That is beyond obvious. If we don’t start shoving the most rabid right wingers down the collectivist throats of the Democrats who haven’t nominated a single judge who actually believed in the Constitution as our founding fathers envisioned it for nearly a hundred years, we will lose. And we will ultimately lose everything – including our very lives – because the “Constitution” only means whatever is convenient for Democrats to believe at any given moment according to their own view of it. And I believe I have demonstrated that Democrats today are rabid, vile, vicious, violent fascists today. And if we don’t punch them so hard in the face it is beyond unreal, we won’t get


just around the corner.

It’s amazing how the godless left and the religious right both agree: the end is coming. And it’s coming on us FAST. Welcome to what my fundamentalist Christian friends and I have been predicting for quite a while now as a result of our literal interpretation of what Jesus and the Bible said was coming.

And when it hits it will hit with the force of a sledge-hammer swung by a giant on an exposed and unsuspecting human face.

The funny thing is that, when the Antichrist comes, Democrats will be adoringly singing the man’s praises. Because they desperately yearn for the poison the ultimate Government-as-God human leader will offer.

Just like eight years ago when Obama was spouting sewage like, “I won, and elections have consequences,” youlatest on-the-field exploits of one Thomas Edward Patrick Brady Jr. I probably don’t need to tell you our opinion of him is generally quite favorable! So talented. So handsome. My mother and I have a similar, albeit inverted routine of our own. There’s one person we never talk about, if only to maintain a fragile semblance of civility: President Trump.

Brady can relate to that right now. If there’s one thing that can reliably be said about the purposefully enigmatic — or boorishly obtuse, depending on your rooting interests — New England Patriots quarterback, set to compete in his record seventh Super Bowl this weekend, it’s that he really, really does not want to talk about Trump.

“If people want to take sides, you know, they can obviously do that,”


two token Republicans that the University has allowed to attend so they can have some pretense of being an open campus when this happened:

Berkeley, California (CNN)Violence erupted Wednesday night at UC Berkeley — the same campus where the Free Speech Movement began — to protest a scheduled talk by right-wing commentator Milo Yiannopoulos.

The university blamed “150 masked agitators” for the unrest, saying they had come to campus to disturb an otherwise peaceful protest.

Administrators decided to cancel the event about two hours before the Breitbart editor’s speech. UC Berkeley said it removed him from campus “amid the violence and destruction of property and out of concern for public safety.”

Black-clad protesters wearing masks threw commercial-grade fireworks and rocks at police. Some even hurled Molotov cocktails that ignited fires. They alsothe United States of America.” And Republicans OWED him their full loyalty and support.

Amazingly, six “journalists” were among the rioters. Because according to the mainstream media, to be a “journalist” today means to be a propagandist hack who rabidly hates Donald Trump and tries to ignite and incite mass violence against him. Let’s be clear, they weren’t cleared of rioting because they didn’t riot; they were cleared of rioting because they were “journalists” and therefore allowed to riot.

“Based on the facts and circumstances, we determined that probable cause existed to support the filing of felony rioting charges,” said the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia in a statement about the 230 arrested. The office, which enforces criminal laws in Washington, D.C., would not comment on the


a president ought to have a right to nominate judges out of his philosophy, especially on the Supreme Court, even when they personally disagree with those judges’ philosophy of jurisprudence.

So Democrats never had to exploit their own Harry Reid-invented “Democrat option” – a.k.a. the nuclear option – to get a vote for Obama’s SCOTUS picks because Republicans respected the process in a way that Democrats have now proven over and over again they are not capable of respecting. It was Democrats who invented and then repeatedly used the politics of personal slander-destruction against Republican nominees.

Democrats are not human beings worthy of the name; they have abandoned as a matter of wicked philosophy any concept of the imago dei. Democrats are evolved bugs, and they only capable of bugother that a woman has the right to murder a man’s child and that man has no right whatsoever to stop it but has to support that child if the “mother” somehow doesn’t murder her own child; when you have one side telling the other that homosexuals and transgenders have every right in the book but Christians don’t even have the right to live according to their most deeply held morality according to a Bible that defined our entire civilization for two thousand years – all in rabid violation of every sacred Constitutional principle – something truly depraved and evil has occurred. And it’s long past time to STOP it. Thomas Jefferson WARNED this would happen. And tragically the ONLY way to stop it now is to start

Q:

Physical interpretation of a Bode plot

I have a few questions regarding the physical interpretation of the information presented on a Bode plot. I believe it is one of those cases where I "don't know what I don't know", so please bear with me if I meander.
1) The magnitude plot of a Bode diagram represents the ratio of a system's output and input amplitudes, in dB. Given any system, is there a threshold dB which represents "too much", or is it a system-by-system assessment which must be made by the designer? (Note: I believe I know the answer to be the latter, but want to be sure). Could you provide a contrasting example, such as a filter design vs. something with vastly different technical requirements?
2) What is the physicalstand up and fight for the common good. The word “union” does not scare me anymore. I joined AEA and plan on continuing to fight for what is right for educators and students. I feel the most empowered I have ever felt as an educator and now do believe that change is possible.

Breaking the Law As noted above, labor leaders and sympathetic scholars have put forward a wide array of proposals for reversing the fortunes of the labor movement. Most have sought either to accept, and work around, the draconian legal restrictions for organized labor in the US or to reform these away through legislative efforts. In contrast, Burns forcefully argues that “it is not conceivable that the labor movement will be revived in any meaningful way without


unexpected encouragement from parents. A large number of teachers recounted experiences similar to that of Tanya Asleson in Ravenswood, West Virginia: On Wednesday [February 28] after the governor and union leaders reached that bad deal, I was out delivering food because I knew that day was particularly crucial: there was already open debates about going wildcat and I expected resistance from parents. I went to the house of a parent who was really poor, his kids always desperately need food at school. The strike was a real hardship for his family — but instead of telling me to go back to work, he said: “M’aam, you stay strong now. You haven’t won yet, don’t go back tomorrow.” It was so moving. One of the strikers’ secrets to successother divalent cations^[@CR26]^. It may be hypothesized that tap water used in dough preparation, along with flour, could provide LAB with minerals necessary to their growth. Yet, such a hypothesis would fall before the results obtained when different tap water were used during propagation of a traditional sourdough. In order to solve this issue, we hypothesize that minerals provided by water (besides those by flour) could drive LAB population just during preparation of sourdough, whose early fermentations are due to bacteria present at low cell density. *Vice versa*, the influence of minerals from tap water would be negligible during propagation of a mature sourdough, inhabited by high microbial numbers.

Based on culture-dependent analysis, the newly prepared sourdoughs harbored from one to five species of LAB. *L*. *plantarum* and *P*.


of tap water used for their preparation partly overlapped. This occurred for tap water A and P and the corresponding sourdoughs. Water LA, LO, T and U, sharing high values of hardness and electrical conductivity (PCA in Fig. [1](#Fig1){ref-type="fig"}), gave sourdoughs which harbored *L*. *curvatus* at high relative abundance and strains of *P*. *pentosaceus*. In some cases, correlations found between relative abundance of LAB OTUs and chemical features of tap water would suggest that some minerals, such as magnesium, potassium, sodium and sulphate, drive the establishment and assembly of the sourdough LAB biota. Microbial cells need magnesium for several biochemical processes (e.g., biosynthesis of nucleic acids and proteins). Bacteria may show different ability to accumulate magnesium in the cytoplasm. It has been reported that *L*. *brevis* accumulates higher concentrationwas the following: moisture, 12.9%; protein, 11.1%; carbohydrates, 71.0%; fiber, 3.5%, fat, 1.5%. Propagation was performed for nine days because we reasonably expected to find the (eventual) effect of water on sourdough in such a lapse of time. The following parameters were adopted in the propagation (back-slopping): DY, 160; inoculum ratio, 20%, fermentation temperature, 30 °C; fermentation time, 6 h; resting time (at 4 °C), 18 h. Before starting propagation and after the last fermentation (day 9), pH, volume increase (in ml), cell densities of LAB and yeasts were monitored in the sourdoughs.

Sourdough preparation {#Sec12}
---------------------

The ten tap water were used for preparing as many sourdoughs, according to the scheme in Fig. [4](#Fig4){ref-type="fig"}. Before fermentation, 10 g of dough were sampled and stored at −20 °C for extraction of total DNA. After fermentation (30 °C, 8 h), 10 g


The granddaughter of the most senior officer to survive the sinking of the Titanic has revealed a century-old secret that could rewrite history.

UK author Louise Patten says the ship had lots of time to shift course when its crew members spotted an iceberg, but plowed straight into it because of a simple steering error.

Patten, the granddaughter of the Titanic’s Second Officer Charles Lightoller, told the The Daily Telegraph she has known about the secret since the 1960s.

She comes clean about it all in her new novel, Good as Gold.

“It just makes it seem all the more tragic,” Patten told the Telegraph. “They could have easily avoided the iceberg if it wasn’t for the blunder.”

More than 1500 people died when the ship sank on April 15, 1912.

It comprises also an opto-coupler for providing a regulating voltage from the secondary side of the power supply for the gate driver circuit for stabilizing output voltages.
A switched mode power supply as described before, which contains a protection circuit, is shown in FIG. 1. It comprises a switching transistor T20, which is connected with its current input to a primary winding W1 of a transformer, not shown, and with its current output via a resistor R20 to ground. The primary winding W1 is coupled in the usual manner to a rectifying element BR, which provides a rectifieda break-up. It contains an undulating piano line as the members of the group sing with restrained vocals and later religious redemption with elements of gospel.

Release and promotion

The track listing of Destiny Fulfilled was revealed on October 15, 2004. The album was first released in Japan on November 10, 2004. It was released on November 16, 2004, in North America via Columbia Records. Although the original release was intended to be one day earlier,


was also successful across Europe, peaking at number one on the European Hot 100 Singles chart for the week ending December 4, 2004 spending four consecutive weeks on top. It managed to top the charts in Belgium, Ireland, Italy and Switzerland and it further appeared in the top ten in almost every other chart. The American Broadcasting Company (ABC) used the song as the music for their introductory montage at the 2004 NBA Playoffs and through the first few weeks of the 2005 NBA Playoffs.

"Soldier", released on December 7, 2004, peaked at the third position on the Billboard Hot 100 chart becoming the band's tenth top ten single on that chart. It further became the second single from the album to top the Hot Dance Club Songs chart       2346	/* Maximum 802.11 frame size */

#defineReducing Tensions in the South China Sea

Lyle Goldstein doubts the wisdom of U.S. policy vis-a-vis China in the South China Sea:

Washington’s focus on “freedom of navigation,” which has inexplicably become the main pillar of current U.S. policy in the region, is actually rather absurd. China, the world’s largest maritime trading nation by almost any measure, is very unlikely to threaten navigational freedoms — its own economy is almost wholly reliant on those very freedoms. The claim that China’s opposition to regular U.S. military surveillance activities in the South China Sea threatens “freedom of navigation” is likewise disingenuous and represents an unfortunate tendency to reach for the clever sound bite. In fact, such U.S. surveillance activities all along China’s coasts are excessive to the point of seriously disrupting the

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the job histories of physical education teacher education (PETE) graduates over a 15-year span. Method: A total of 118 graduates/participants completed a Qualtrics, open-ended survey. Face validity of the survey questions was established via a panel of experts and the survey was pilot-tested by PE teachers. Data were analyzed inductively via constant comparison. Trustworthiness of the data was addressed via peer debriefing and the use of member checks. Results: During the first year after graduation, of the 118 participants in this study, 82% were employed in schools, with 48% securing full-time teaching positions in health and/or PE, and adapted physical education (APE), and the other 34% in roles such


James Harden urges Reggie Jackson to leave OKC Thunder

Reggie Jackson is coming up to an important cross roads in his career right about now.

The Oklahoma City Thunder point guard just rejected a contract extension from Sam Hinkie and co in October and looks set to hit restricted free agency in the summer to see how much money he can get.

And with Thunder stars Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook out at the moment, Jackson is starring in place. This has lead to backing from James Harden, who is urging Jackson to do what he did and potentially leave OKC.

Harden's Backing

Back in 2012, Harden rejected multiple offers from the Thunder and ended up being traded to the Houston Rockets so that OKC wouldn't lose him for nothing. And now, twoAminoacylation of tRNAs by their cognate aminoacyl tRNA synthetases is fundamental to protein synthesis. This reaction attaches an amino acid to the 3xe2x80x2 end of a tRNA so that the amino acid can be delivered to the growing polypeptide chain as the anticodon sequence of the tRNA reads a codon triplet in a mRNA. The specificity of aminoacylation is determined by the ability of an aminoacyl tRNA synthetase to interact with the correct amino acid and to recognize its cognate tRNA through specific nucleotides (Schimmel, P. and Sxc3x6ll, D. (1979) Ann. Rev. Biochem. 48, 601-648; Meinnel et al. (1995) in tRNA: Structure, biosynthesis, and function, Sxc3x6ll, D. and RajBhandary, U., eds, pages 251-292, American Society for Microbiology, Washington, DC).
