the head and neck heterogeneously and for which surgical treatment techniques vary among surgeons and generally lack an evidence base. The historical record of evolving classifications for CFM reflects this tension, and different classification systems prioritize one over the other.^[@R6],[@R8]--[@R17]^

The proposed classification for the CFM mandibular deformity is based on 3dCT diagnosis and incorporates a common treatment modality for each type. We found that expert evaluators demonstrated fair interrater reproducibility with average pairwise agreement of 50.4% using this classification. This was a significantly higher degree of interrater agreement than found when similar evaluators used the Kaban modification of the Pruzansky classification (average pairwise agreement 39.2%.)^[@R22]^

We further found that this classification lended to substantial agreement (κ = 0.64) among evaluators distinguishing deformities requiring graft or flap reconstruction (T3 andcases could and should be decided by factors such as soft-tissue deficiency. We note that emphasizing the role of bony 3dCT does not dismiss the importance of soft-tissue evaluation and physical examination in CFM. The latter are important, but in our opinion are downstream modifiers of decision making after the 3dCT rather than the other way around.

The obvious advantage of a system that incorporates not only diagnostic classifications but also corresponding treatment modality is that it more directly guides surgical decision making. Lauritzen et al^[@R13]^ used this approach to CFM in 1985 by proposing a treatment-guidance scheme dividing skeletal deformities based on management considerations. There are 2 potential disadvantages, however. First, as treatment modalities evolve, a classification that prescribes certain treatments' risks becoming obsolete. Second, in a situation


question whether there is a library function for encapsulating this pattern - there isn't a function exactly for this, but there is a function that allows you to generate sequence from some state called Seq.unfold. You can use it to implement the functionality above like this:
new StreamReader(filePath) |> Seq.unfold (fun sr ->
  match sr.ReadLine() with
  | null -> sr.Dispose(); None
  | str -> Some(str, sr))

The sr value represents the stream reader and is passed as the state. As long as it gives you non-null values, you can return Some containing an element to generate and the state (which could change if you wanted). When it reads null, we dispose it and return None to end the sequence. This isn't a direct equivalent, becauseBeipiaosaurus

Beipiaosaurus  is a genus of therizinosauroid theropod dinosaur from the Early Cretaceous of China. Before the discovery of Yutyrannus, it was among the largest dinosaurs known from direct evidence to be feathered.

The exact classification of therizinosaurs had in the past been hotly debated, since their prosauropod-like teeth and body structure indicate that they were generally herbivorous, unlike typical theropods. Beipiaosaurus, being considered to be a primitive therizinosauroid, has features which suggest that all therizinosauroids, including the more derived Therizinosauridae, to be coelurosaurian theropods, not sauropodomorph or ornithischian relatives as once believed.

Discovery
In 1996, the peasant Li Yinxian discovered a skeleton of a theropod dinosaur near the village of Sihetun. In the May 27, 1999, issue of the journal Nature the discovery was announced and the type species Beipiaosaurus

a prequel to the scene last week. A subsequent parliamentary inquiry found that some personnel had used excessive force against the settlers.

Since then, the settlers, the courts, politicians, and the army have been locked in a struggle over Amona's fate, while many of the same stakeholders were quietly allowing it to expand in both population and permanency — a synecdoche for the Israeli settler movement as a whole over the past few decades.

Since 2008, the status of Amona has been stalled in the courts, which granted several delays and appeals. After various twists and turns in the settlement outpost’s saga (which included allegations of fraud), the High Court issued its last stay of demolition in 2014, although government delay tactics postponed the final evacuation until last Thursday. Subsequently,Jewish law.

Politicians were not above their own protests either. Ultra-nationalist lawmaker Bezalel Smotrich of the Habayit Hayehudi, or Jewish Home, party likened the disengagement to the “brutal rape” of a woman (while apparently nonplussed by the appropriation of private Palestinian land). Public Security Minister Gilad Erdan of Prime Minister Netanyahu’s Likud party labelled the resisters “hooligans” who “show contempt to Judaism.” Jewish Home head and Education Minister Naftali Bennett called for the unilateral annexation of the West Bank and a new settlement for Amona’s evacuees. While no dove himself, Defence Minister Avigidor Lieberman insisted instead all parties peacefully abide by “the rules of the game." Netanyahu himself was mostly mum, saying only that “he shared the pain” of the families, although later announcing plans to build 2,500 housing


of Palestinian land expropriation (at least in a limited sense), and the mainstreaming of a broader discourse on annexation of Area C or the entirety of the West Bank.

Not only is it becoming geographically more difficult to trade land-for-peace, there is also clear evidence that majorities of both Israelis and Palestinians are no longer in favour of partition. This is a remarkable development in the history of Zionism and prospects for final status agreement. If there is to be peace between Israelis and Palestinians, it seems more likely now, post-Amona, than ever before that a new paradigm will be necessary.

While it is too soon to say what the position of the Trump administration may be on settlements, which will surely be a topic at a closely watched meetingModelling the evolution of multi-gene families.
A number of biological processes can lead to genes being copied within the genome of some given species. Duplicate genes of this form are called paralogs and such genes share a high degree sequence similarity as well as often having closely related functions. Some genes have become widely duplicated to form multigene families in which the copies are distributed both within the genomes of individual species and across different species. Statistical modelling of gene duplication and the evolution of multi-gene families currently lags behind well-established models of DNA sequence evolution despite an increasing volume of available data, but the analysis of multi-gene families is important as part of a wider effort to understand evolution at the genomic level.

in Shaivism tradition. It is a thanksgiving festival to the cows for their help in sustaining human life and thus both cows and calves are worshiped and fed with wheat products. The worshipers abstain from consuming any wheat and milk products on this day. It is believed that by these observances and worship, all wishes of the devotees will be fulfilled. The significance of Govatsa Dwadashi is stated in Bhavishya Purana.

Rituals
The cows and calves are bathed, draped in clothes and flower garlands; and vermilion/turmeric powder applied on their foreheads. In some villages people make cows and calves of mud, dressing them and adorning them as such, symbolically. Aartis are performed. Wheat products, gram and Mung bean sprouts are then fed to the cows, symbolizing the sacred cow Nandini,thought was an ornament to wear upon his wrist, which cheered him up.

(B) Islets were isolated and stained for the indicated markers and then scored for presence or absence of staining. Bars represent mean+/−S.D. of the percentage of marker positive islets of Langerhans obtained from a pool of 6 mice per group from two independent experiments. (C) Islets of Langerhans were dispersed and cells were examined by flow cytometry for the indicated cell surface markers. Bars represent the mean+/−S.D. of the percentage of total islet cells identified in two independent experiments per age. Results were obtained from a pool of 8 to 10 mice per group.

At 2 wks of age, islets showed no signs of pathology and no detectable lymphocytes. The earliest time point where lymphocytes were identified inside islets occurred at 4 wks of


first signs of pathology with the entrance of T cells and signs of islet reactivity. Starting at ∼8 wks there was a progressive infiltration of all major leukocyte subsets and signs of inflammatory marker expression. The same biological replicates that were interrogated by microscopy were analyzed for their transcriptional expression profiles as detailed below.

Assembling the Compendium of Transcriptional Profiles in the Context of Islet/Diabetes Development

To perform chronological analysis of the transcriptional profile, the NOD strain was compared with several control strains. Islet RNA was extracted from 3–6 replicates for each of seven time points along the lifetime of NOD mice (2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 18 wks and up to diabetics at ∼20 wks) and compared to 6 replicates of 3 control strains. NOD.Rag1−/− mice at 2 andby SPI1 (myeloid regulator) and SPIB (B lymphocyte regulator). At this time, all major leukocyte subsets implicated in the development of diabetes were represented transcriptionally. Gene ontology showed enrichment of chemotaxis and T cell activation signatures. Definitive T cell specific genes including Cd2, Cd3d, Cd3g and also a signature of T cell activation as defined by Ctla4, Slamf1, Slamf6, Slamf7, Slfn1 (Shlafen1), and Cxcr5 was defined. B cell specific genes, including the immunoglobulin and Ig-associated genes Igk, Igl, and Cd79b were also detected (Fig. 4, Table S1). Natural killer cells were identified by the induction of genes belonging to the NK gene cluster (Klrc1, Klrd1, and Klra17; Table S1) [28]. In 8 wk old NOD, we found 38 new myeloid transcripts, which we termed the “late myeloid” and


of Cxcr4 and Cxcr6 at 12–18 wks of age. The data show that at the chemokine/chemokine receptor expression level the ability to recruit all major leukocyte subsets involved in the progression of diabetes was in place by 8 wks of age.

Our approach detected 5 significantly upregulated adhesion molecules: Glycam1, Vcam1, Icam1, L1cam, and Amica1. All adhesion factors were significantly upregulated only in the NOD mice. Vcam, Icam1 and L1cam were upregulated by 4 to 6 wks of age, Amica1 was upregulated by 8 wks of age and Glycam1 was upregulated by 12 wks of age. Glycam1 was the most upregulated adhesion factor throughout diabetogenesis. Integrins that were significantly upregulated after 12 wks of age included Itgb2 (CD18), Itgae (CD103), Itgax (CD11c), Itga4 (CD49d), and Itgb7. Overall the adhesionNOD and were significantly different from all control strains at 6 wks of age (Fig. 5). As with our microarray results, certain genes, like Rtp4 were upregulated in NOD from 2 to 4 wks, but had comparable expression levels with controls at 6 wks of age. Both of these observations were in agreement with the microarray results and support the idea that there is an entry of leukocytes that is universal to all strains of mice and a second signature that is interferon-inducible enriched and specific to NOD (Fig. 5B, Table S1).

(A) Quantitative RT-PCR was performed using SYBR green detection for the indicated genes. Bars show the mean (log2) +/− S.E.M. of at least three independent experimental replicates from 3–6 biological replicates per group. All data is represented


8th wk of life. This event was synchronous with markers of T cell activation and a dramatic change in islet-specific gene expression. Between the 12 and 18th wk there was further diversity in the expression of genes linked to cytotoxicity, many of which were NF-κB inducible. Despite a prolonged inflammatory infiltrate starting at 8 wks, mice did not become diabetic until after 20 wks of age, indicating a partial level of control for a period of time.

The earliest expression of the autoimmune state was the type I interferon signature, its importance cannot be underestimated. It was not unexpected to find a level of constitutive type I interferon in the islets as well as in other tissues [31], [32]. The key event however was the marked upregulation at 4an upregulation of type I IFN in NOD mice from 2 to 3 wks [14]. However, it is not clear if this upregulation is unique to NOD mice. Treatment of mice with type I interferon neutralizing antibodies delayed disease incidence. Higher level of Ifna expression was found in the pancreases of human T1D patients with end-stage disease when compared to normal controls [39]. Diabetes prone BB rats and mice treated with streptozotocin had expression of type I interferon in their pancreatic islets [40]. There are reports of patients treated with type I interferon for chronic viral infections that then developed diabetes [41]. In the case of mice, enforced expression of type I interferon in islets caused autoimmune diabetes [42], [43]. The transcription factor Irf7, a key regulator of

Make an angular directive throw an event that i can bind in jquery

I currently have an angular directive that I have wrote to make file uploads easier. I basically want to make the directive fire an event when the upload is complete then use jquery to bind this event to update an image on the page.
This is how i have setup my directive:
module.directive("fileUpload",
function()
{
    var directive =
    {
        restrict:"E",
        template:'<form method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data"></form>',
        replace:true,

        compile: function compile()
        {


it is using $scope created within the directive where 'img' element
is defined.
If you want to communicate outside of the directive (scope-wise), you can
use event mechanism via $scope.$emit() and $scope.$on(). http://plnkr.co/edit/qlWIyB

Q:

In Indonesia, are research grants extra income that go directly into academics' pockets?

The average base salary for academics in Indonesia seems to be quite low. It seems likely that they receive various extra incomes that can be higher than their base salary; otherwise, they won't be able to survive. Are research grants one of these incomes? How do universities in Indonesia manage research grants?

A:

I did my advanced studies in southeast Asia. One of my professors was from Indonesia. When I was talking to him one time he shared that when applying for a grant the researcher should put in a "consulting fee". This fee covered the researchers time.
I can't say if this is standard practice but it is first person testimony from the country.

CRC is among the most commonly diagnosed cancers, one of the leading causes of cancer death worldwide \[[@B9-cancers-11-01799]\], and a disease in which the prevalence of cachexia is \~30--50%. The prognosis of CRC depends largely on the tumor location; right-sided tumors generally have worse prognoses \[[@B10-cancers-11-01799]\]. In right-sided CRC, elevated tumor lymphocytic infiltration and an inflammatory microenvironment \[[@B11-cancers-11-01799]\], as well as dense gut microbial biofilms (bacterial aggregates), are present \[[@B12-cancers-11-01799]\]. Biofilms increase the production of interleukin 6 (IL6), suggesting that the gut microbiota may also induce the secretion of IL6 by the tumor. IL6 is associated with poor prognosis for both CRC overall survival and disease-free survival \[[@B13-cancers-11-01799]\]. In addition to IL6, monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 (MCP-1/CCL2) has been linked to intestinal


induction of tumor growth \[[@B19-cancers-11-01799]\], or an induction of chemoresistance in multiple myeloma cells \[[@B20-cancers-11-01799]\].

Flagellin, like other pathogen-associated molecular patterns, is recognized by pattern recognition receptors to initiate innate immune responses. Extracellular flagellin binds to the Toll-like receptor 5 (TLR5) on the cell surface, whereas flagellin that reaches the cytosol is identified by the NOD-like receptor (NLR) family CARD domain-containing protein 4 (NLRC4), which further recruits the NLR family pyrin domain-containing 3 (NLRP3) \[[@B21-cancers-11-01799]\]. The role of TLRs in cancer is not without controversy. On one hand, potent TLR agonists are used to fight cancer as immune adjuvants, whereas on the other hand, TLRs can induce inflammation, programmed necrosis, and autophagy \[[@B22-cancers-11-01799]\]. These events in concert can promote tumor survival and the formation of metastases \[[@B23-cancers-11-01799]\]. In addition,communities, these results suggest that the OTU distribution of the CTRL and C26 + PBS was skewed, reducing the Shannon index of these samples, while the OTUs of the mice that had the continued treatment for cachexia (C26 + sACVR/c) were more evenly distributed.

In the principal coordinate analysis (PCA) plot where the individual samples with similar microbiota composition cluster together, the CTRL samples clustered clearly together, representing a strong homology within the group, while in all other groups, clear inter-individual differences occurred, especially in the C26 + PBS and CTRL and C26 + sACVR/b groups ([Figure 2](#cancers-11-01799-f002){ref-type="fig"}a). However, based on adonis analysis, the sample grouping explained approximately 24% of the overall clustering in the PCA plot (*p* = 0.011). The level of explanation was 27.3% (*p* = 0.001)


6](#cancers-11-01799-f006){ref-type="fig"}a). In humans, the expression of CCL2 was higher in CRC tumors than in the specimen taken from a healthy site of the colon during surgery (*p* = 0.021, [Figure 6](#cancers-11-01799-f006){ref-type="fig"}b). This trend was similar in IL6 (*p* = 0.097, [Figure 6](#cancers-11-01799-f006){ref-type="fig"}b). The inflammatory microenvironment is suggested to be more "aggressive" in the right-sided CRC tumors than in the left-sided tumors \[[@B11-cancers-11-01799]\]. We therefore also compared the protein expression levels of the right- and left-sided tumors. Due to the heterogeneity and small number of samples per group, the difference did not reach statistical significance, but the right-sided tumors tended to have higher levels of IL6 (*p* = 0.082, [Figure 6](#cancers-11-01799-f006){ref-type="fig"}c) and CCL2 compared to the left-sided ones (*p* = 0.105, [Figure 6](#cancers-11-01799-f006){ref-type="fig"}c). Whether the patient had adenoma orin C26 tumor-bearing mice. One of the possible causes for the changes in the gut microbiota is the increased systemic IL6 \[[@B26-cancers-11-01799]\], as shown by Bindels et al. in C26 tumor-bearing mice \[[@B7-cancers-11-01799]\], or perhaps some systemic metabolic changes in these mice \[[@B48-cancers-11-01799]\].

Because many flagellated taxa were increased in the tumor-bearing mice, and due to the recent observation that bacterial flagellin is associated with CRC risk \[[@B17-cancers-11-01799]\], we studied the direct effects of flagellin on C26 cancer cells in vitro. We first concentrated on inflammation because of the importance of the inflammatory tumor microenvironment in CRC carcinogenesis \[[@B49-cancers-11-01799]\]. The proteins CCL2/MCP-1 and IL6 are among the most prevalent cytokines in tumor microenvironment, with increased expression generally linked with cachexia \[[@B15-cancers-11-01799]\], tumor growth, and the survival of myeloid monocytes


on CRC cells, as well as dysplastic and neoplastic lesions of the colon, facilitates *F*. *nucleatum* binding. Nevertheless, the mechanisms that enable the migration of *Aggregatibacter* to the colon are by far unknown.

We found an enrichment of the Enterococcaecae family and the *Enterococcus* genus in the C26 tumor-bearing mice in agreement with a recent study \[[@B7-cancers-11-01799]\]. *Enterococcus* bacteremia has been suggested to be a manifestation of CRC \[[@B70-cancers-11-01799]\]. With the presence of intestinal lesions or tumor, the gut epithelium is compromised and the gut microbes including. *Enterococcus faecalis* can translocate into the bloodstream and cause infection or even endocarditis \[[@B71-cancers-11-01799]\].

Which is this: That it's not as if everything was all hunky-dory in the region, environmentally speaking, before April of 2010, when the Deepwater Horizon rig exploded. To the contrary, human activity -- industry, agriculture,a growing number of fishermen are in danger of losing their way of life. The one major difference between this episode and the ongoing tragedy in the Gulf of Mexico is this: The suffering fishermen are also completely shut out of a rigged justice system by one of the world's most powerful and unyielding oligarchies.

This enzyme forms a strong complex with the 2'-(5' '-triphosphoribosyl)-3'-dephospho-CoA prosthetic group precursor. This complex, called MdcG(i), is readily separated from free MdcG by native polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Upon incubation of MdcG(i) with apo acyl carrier protein, holo acyl carrier protein is synthesized by forming the phosphodiester bond between the 2'-(5' '-phosphoribosyl)-3'-dephospho-CoA prosthetic group and serine 25 of the protein. MdcG corresponds to a 2'-(5' '-triphosphoribosyl)-3'-dephospho-CoA:apo ACP 2'-(5' '-phosphoribosyl)-3'-dephospho-CoA transferase. In absence of the prosthetic group precursor, MdcG catalyzes at a low rate the adenylylation of apo acyl carrier protein using ATP as substrate.

This paper aims to study the influence of household contact structure on the spread of an influenza-like illness. Public policy frequently recommends in-home care giving for those who are ill. This policy increases the risk of household transmission for the rest of the household members. Household transmissions can vary significantly depending upon contacts among the household members. We use simulations to assess the sensitivity of household transmission to contact structures within the household. Two extreme possibilities are considered for the structure of contacts among individuals within a household: *full mixing* and *single caregiver*. In the *full mixing* case every person (whether sick or not) is in contact with every other person in the household, as is often assumed in models with complete mixing [@pone.0022461-Halloran1], [@pone.0022461-Germann1]. In the


*single caregiver* case every symptomatic person is only in contact with a single primary caregiver (who, in turn, is in contact with every other person in the household), as is often recommended by public health agencies.

The *full mixing* structure is commonly used to model within-household contacts in network models for epidemiology [@pone.0022461-Halloran1]--[@pone.0022461-Bisset1]. The *single caregiver* contact pattern is suggested both by recent data on household secondary attack rates for H1N1[@pone.0022461-Cauchemez1] and by commonly practiced home care giving strategies[@pone.0022461-Blendon1]. For example, a child who becomes ill is often sequestered from the rest of the family except for a single adult who provides care.

We simulate the spread of an influenza-like illness across two synthetic social networks representing the cities of Miami and Seattle, chosen for their dramatically different householdstructure, the transmission rate () measured per minute, and the proportion of population infected. The higher value of is the high level of infectiousness and the lower value is the moderate level of infectiousness.

[Figure 3](#pone-0022461-g003){ref-type="fig"} shows a comparison of the proportion of infected members in a household for both cities, for *full mixing* and *single caregiver* cases, at two different levels of infectiousness. The proportion of infected members in the household is always higher in Miami than in Seattle. This is due to the fact that Miami has larger families which provide more opportunities for secondary and later infections when the sick person is kept at home. It also finds that the *single caregiver* case always results in fewer transmissions than the *full mixing* case in both cities.

one of the most intimate dates for young people back in the day was dancing! As the classic song goes, even guys with two left feet come out alright if the girl is sweet (“White Christmas,” anyone?). “Big bands were very popular,” Mimi exclaimed. “The dances were anything from waltzes to jitterbug and tango. Couples danced together, and you touched each other, but it was quite different from the way young people dance now. You would talk while dancing, especially during the slow dances; other [types] you would just maybe chuckle and have fun.” Mimi and her friends would put on their best clothes—three-inch heels and a dress made in the style of Grace Kelly—and dance the night away with their suitors.

The truth is, dancing is a verydate ideas, trying a dance like swing or salsa might be a way to grow in intimacy and trust without even realizing it.

Talking to Mimi was eye-opening. She made me see that dating doesn’t have to be so complicated. She and I may have come of age fifty years apart from each other, but when it comes to finding a husband, my guidebook isn’t that different from hers, after all.

The new cultivar originated in a controlled breeding program in Cartago, Costa Rica during December 2010. The objective of the breeding program was the development of Impatiens cultivars that perform well under both sun and shade conditions and have a moderately vigorous, compact, mounded-spreading growth habit.
The new Impatiens×hybrida cultivar is the result of cross-pollination. The female (seed) parent of the new cultivar is the proprietary Impatiens flaccida breeding selection coded N81622, not patented, characterized by its light orchid-colored flowers, medium green-colored foliage, and vigorous, prostrate growth habit. The male (pollen) parent of the new cultivar is the proprietary Impatiens hawkeri breeding selection N784,


Sulforaphane metabolites cause apoptosis via microtubule disruption in cancer.
Sulforaphane (SFN) inhibited growth in many cancers, but its half-life is 2 h in circulation. However, its metabolites, sulforaphane-cysteine (SFN-Cys) and sulforaphane-N-acetyl-cysteine (SFN-NAC) had longer half-lives and decreased the cell viability in both dose- and time-dependent manners in human prostate cancer. Flow cytometry assay revealed that these two SFN metabolites induced apoptosis with the features such as vacuolization, disappeared nuclear envelope, nuclear agglutination and fragmentation via transmission electron microscopy observation. Western blot showed that the sustained phosphorylation of ERK1/2 mediated by SFN metabolites caused activation and upregulation of cleaved Caspase 3 and downregulation of α-tubulin. High expression of α-tubulin was demonstrated to be positively correlated with cancer pathological grading.

UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee,v.Jamold SMITH, Defendant-Appellant.
No. 05-30313.
United States Court of Appeals, Fifth Circuit.
February 17, 2006.

Peter Michael Thomson, Asst. U.S. Atty. (argued), William P. Gibbens, New Orleans, LA, for U.S.
Robert F. Barnard, Asst. Fed. Pub. Def. (argued), Robin Elise Schulberg, Fed. Pub. Def., New Orleans, LA, for Smith.
Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana.
Before REAVLEY, GARZA and BENAVIDES, Circuit Judges.
BENAVIDES, Circuit Judge:

1
Smith challenges his non-Guideline sentence of sixty months imprisonment. He argues that the district court's sentence based on his criminal history and parole status was unreasonable under United States v. Booker, 543 U.S. 220, 125 S.Ct. 738, 160 L.Ed.2d 621 (2005). For the reasons set forth below, we find that the court's sentence was reasonable.

I. FACTUAL BACKGROUND AND PROCEDURAL


articulated permissible reasons for its variance. Therefore, the court committed no legal error in the sentencing procedure. Accordingly, the sentence must be given great deference. Additionally, the court's findings in support of the upward variance sufficiently demonstrate that the substance of the sentence is reasonable under § 3553(a).

IV. CONCLUSION

31
Following the post-Booker reasonableness standard, the district court did not err in sentencing Smith to sixty months imprisonment. The court's reliance on Smith's criminal history and recent status as a parolee was not erroneous. Accordingly, the district court's judgment is AFFIRMED.

Notes:

1
 We use the terms "deviate" and "deviation" to describe a non-Guideline sentence, which is not the result of a Guidelines-authorized upward or downward departure. InUnited States v. Mares, we adopted the phrase "non-Guideline sentence" to express this distinction. 402Guideline range, is reasonably supported by the statutory sentencing factors such that we will not disturb the district court's sentencing decision.
Additionally, Smith did not waive any argument based on sentencing disparity. The cases cited by the concurrence in support of waiver are inapposite. See, e.g., Salazar-Regino v. Trominski, 415 F.3d 436, 452 (5th Cir. 2005) (holding argument was waived because the petitioners cited only one case, failed "to explain how the cited opinion should apply to the instant case," and also failed "to mention that the opinion is not even good law"). Here, Smith cites to valid statutory authority and explains how the statute supports his argument. Smith's contention, though ultimately rejected herein, satisfies the requirements of Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure 28(a)(9)(A) and therefore was not waived.

It's not as elaborate as The 1930's Rust's case, but I'm sure it did the job for whoever they confiscated it from. Maybe Rust's long lost Uncle?

Incredible! Where did you find that? I guess that may lend creedencespecificity towards ATP. Neither the Ca(2+)-transport nor high affinity Ca(2+)-ATPase activity were stimulated by calmodulin. The results demonstrate, in addition to a low affinity Ca2+ (or Mg2+)-ATPase activity, the presence of both a high affinity Ca(2+)-pump and high affinity Ca(2+)-dependent ATPase. However, the high affinity Ca(2+)-ATPase activity does not appear to be the biochemical expression of the Ca(2+)-pump.


Germany’s far-right Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) party has been ridiculed for attacking a kindergarten that celebrated St Patrick’s Day instead of its annual Easter egg hunt and breakfast.

The decision was described by the AfD on social media as a “clash of cultures”, led by people who “destroy our culture and traditions”.

“When the Easter festival is cancelled to celebrate St Patrick’s Day, and the Easter egg hunt has to make way for a leprechaun gold treasure hunt – then things are really getting absurd,” wrote the AfD in a social media post.

It was reacting to the decision of a Bavarian kindergarten, Villa Drachenstein, to prioritise a St Patrick’s Day project as part of its “calendar of cultures”. “We are a non-confessional organisation and celebrate all holidays,” said Ulrike Bittner,5 seconds off the rest each week. However, just try it with 15 seconds. If it’s too tough, lower the load slightly. Your body will adapt fast.

required by §5 to seek preclearance from federal authori
ties in Washington, D. C., before it can change anything
about those elections. This is required even though there
has never been any evidence of racial discrimination in
voting in the district.
   The district filed suit seeking relief from these preclear
ance obligations under the “bailout” provision of the Voting
Rights Act. That provision allows the release of a “political
subdivision” from the preclearance requirements if certain
rigorous conditions are met. The court below denied relief,
concluding that bailout was unavailable to a political
subdivision like the utility district that did not register its
own voters. The district appealed, arguing that the Act
imposes no such limitation on bailout, and that if it does,
the preclearance requirements are unconstitutional.

           I

                              A

   The Fifteenth Amendment promises that the “right of
citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or
abridged . . . on account of race, color, or previous condi
tion of servitude.” U. S. Const., Amdt. 15, §1. In addition
to that self-executing right, the Amendment also gives
Congress the “power to enforce this article by appropriate
legislation.” §2. The first century of congressional en
forcement of the Amendment, however, can only be re
garded as a failure. Early enforcement Acts were incon
sistently applied and repealed with the risehave interpreted the requirements of §5
to apply not only to the ballot-access rights guaranteed by
§4, but to drawing district lines as well. Allen v. State Bd.
of Elections, 393 U. S. 544, 564–565 (1969).
   To confine these remedies to areas of flagrant disenfran
chisement, the Act applied them only to States that had
used a forbidden test or device in November 1964, and had
less than 50% voter registration or turnout in the 1964
Presidential election. §4(b), 79 Stat. 438. Congress recog
nized that the coverage formula it had adopted “might
bring within its sweep governmental units not guilty of
any unlawful discriminatory voting practices.” Briscoe v.
Bell, 432 U. S. 404, 411 (1977). It therefore “afforded such
jurisdictions immediately available protection in the form
4       NORTHWEST AUSTIN MUNICIPAL UTIL. DIST.


Court determined “docu
ment[ed] contemporary racial discrimination in covered
states.” 573 F. Supp. 2d, at 265. The District Court also
found that the record “demonstrat[ed] that section 5 pre
vents discriminatory voting changes” by “quietly but
effectively deterring discriminatory changes.” Id., at 264.
   We will not shrink from our duty “as the bulwar[k] of a
limited constitution against legislative encroachments,”
The Federalist No. 78, p. 526 (J. Cooke ed. 1961) (A. Ham
ilton), but “[i]t is a well-established principle governing
the prudent exercise of this Court’s jurisdiction that nor
mally the Court will not decide a constitutional question if
there is some other ground upon which to dispose of the
case,” Escambia County v. McMillan, 466 U. S. 48, 51
(1984) (per curiam). Here, the district also raises a statu
tory claim that it is eligible to bail out under    Opinion of the Court

and does not conduct its own voter registration.
   “Statutory definitions control the meaning of statutory
words, of course, in the usual case. But this is an unusual
case.” Lawson v. Suwannee Fruit & S. S. Co., 336 U. S.
198, 201 (1949); see also Farmers Reservoir & Irrigation Co.
v. McComb, 337 U. S. 755, 764 (1949); Philko Aviation, Inc.
v. Shacket, 462 U. S. 406, 412 (1983). Were the scope of
§4(a) considered in isolation from the rest of the statute and
our prior cases, the District Court’s approach might well be
correct. But here specific precedent, the structure of the
Voting Rights Act, and underlying constitutional concerns
compel a broader reading of the bailout provision.
   Importantly, we do not write on a blank slate.


  Opinion of the Court

gues, it only stands to reason that the definition should
not constrict the availability of bailout from those pre
clearance requirements either.
   The Government responds that any such argument is
foreclosed by our interpretation of the statute in City of
Rome, 446 U. S. 156. There, it argues, we made clear that
the discussion of political subdivisions in Sheffield was
dictum, and “specifically held that a ‘city is not a “political
subdivision” for purposes of §4(a) bailout.’ ” Brief for Fed
eral Appellee 14 (quoting City of Rome, supra, at 168).
   Even if that is what City of Rome held, the premises of
its statutory holding did not survive later changes in the
law. In City of Rome we rejected the city’s attempt to bail
out from coverage underState can seek bailout, as several of
them have. See Voting Rights Act: Section 5 of the Act—
History, Scope, and Purpose: Hearing Before the Subcom
mittee on the Constitution of the House Committee on the
Judiciary, 109th Cong., 1st Sess., 2599–2834 (2005) (de
tailing bailouts). Because such piecemeal bailout is now
permitted, it cannot be true that §5 treats every govern
mental unit as the State itself.
   The Government’s contrary interpretation has helped to
render the bailout provision all but a nullity. Since 1982,
only 17 jurisdictions—out of the more than 12,000 covered
political subdivisions—have successfully bailed out of the
Act. App. to Brief for Jurisdictions That Have Bailed Out
as Amici Curiae 3; Dept. of Commerce, Bureau of Census,
2002 Census of Governments, Vol. 1, No. 1, pp. 1, 22–60.
It is unlikely that Congress intended the provision


  Opinion of THOMAS, J.

gress the authority to “enforce” these rights “by appropri
ate legislation,” §2. The Fifteenth Amendment thus ren
ders unconstitutional any federal or state law that would
limit a citizen’s access to the ballot on one of the three
bases enumerated in the Amendment. See Mobile v.
Bolden, 446 U. S. 55, 65 (1980) (plurality opinion) (the
Fifteenth Amendment guards against “purposefully dis
criminatory denial or abridgment by government of the
freedom to vote”). Nonetheless, because States still retain
sovereign authority over their election systems, any meas
ure enacted in furtherance of the Fifteenth Amendment
must be closely examined to ensure that its encroachment
on state authority in this area is limited to the appropriate
enforcement of this ban on discrimination.
   There is certainly no question that the VRA initially
“was passed pursuant to Congress’ authoritydevices in the previous Presidential
election, see 42 U. S. C. §1973b(b), directly targeted the
“insidious and pervasive evil which had been perpetuated
in certain parts of our country through unremitting and
ingenious defiance of the Constitution.” 383 U. S., at 309;
see also id., at 329 (“Congress began work with reliable
evidence of actual voting discrimination in a great major
ity of the States and political subdivisions affected by the
new remedies of the Act”). According to the Court, it was
appropriate to radically interfere with control over local
elections only in those jurisdictions with a history of dis
criminatory disenfranchisement as those were “the geo
graphic areas where immediate action seemed necessary.”
Id., at 328. The Court believed it was thus “permissible to
impose the new remedies” on the jurisdictions covered
under §4(b) “at least in the absence of proof that


process.” §2(b)(2), 120 Stat. 577. But such evi
dence is not probative of the type of purposeful discrimina
tion that prompted Congress to enact §5 in 1965. For
example, Congress relied upon evidence of racially polar

polarized voting is not evidence of unconstitutional dis

Editors’ Notes Nine albums in, the Cali rockers get political with a blistering dispatch from a paranoid world. Drone warfare (on high-concept onslaught “Death From Above”), Edward Snowden (the pleasingly thrashy “Whistleblower”), and Capitol Hill profiteers (exhilarating war cry “Blood on the Sand”) all jostle for room on a bustling record that bubbles over with ideas and Riley Breckenridge’s distinctive thunderous drumming. Thankfully, you don’t need to be a foreign policy expert to savour the monumental thrill of riffy centerpiece “Black Honey”.15 to 24-year-old group was the most highly affected during the period of 1995 to 1998 (mean annual incidence rate 199.4 cases per 100 000); in contrast, the > 75-year-old group was the most highly affected during the period of 2003 to 2006 (121.1 cases per 100 000 inhabitants). Fifty-three patients were co-infected by HIV (9%) (yearly mean of 11.6% in 1995-1998 and 7% in 2003-2006). Löwenstein culture was positive in 431 cases (73.8%). Resistance to isoniazid was detected in 1.4% out of a total of 287 strains tested, and multidrug resistance was not observed. Nine patients were immigrants (1.5%). Treatment completion was greater in our area (505 patients, 86.4%), as compared to that recorded in the Guipuzcoa province during the same period (1956 of 2525 patients, 77.5%)


(P < .01). The Bajo Deba Area presented a high incidence of tuberculosis in the 1995 to 2006 period. Epidemiological trends showed a progressive decrease in the number of tuberculosis patients, with a shift from younger to older persons as the most highly affected age group. The impact of drug resistance and immigration was negligible on tuberculosis rates. The percentage of microbiologically confirmed cases was high. Treatment completion was satisfactory.Publius (praenomen)

This page is about the Latin praenomen. For a list of individuals with this name, see Publius (disambiguation).
Publius  is a Latin praenomen, or personal name. It was used by both patrician and plebeian families, and was very common at all periods of Roman history. It gave rise to the patronymic gens Publilia, and perhaps also gens Publicia.  The feminine form is Publia. The name was regularly abbreviated P.

Throughout Roman history, Publius was one of the most frequently-used praenomina, typically occupying fourth or fifth place, behind Lucius, Gaius, and Marcus, and occurring with about the same frequency as Quintus. The feminine form, Publia, was also quite common, and is found in numerous inscriptions as late as the 3rd century, and perhaps beyond.

Olive oil and table olive biophenols have been shown to significantly enrich the hedonic-sensory and nutritional quality of the Mediterranean diet. Oleuropein is one of the predominant biophenols in green olives and leaves, which not only has noteworthy freeradical quenching activity but also putatively reduces the incidence of various cancers. Clinical trials suggest that the consumption of extra virgin olive oil reduces the risk of several degenerative diseases. The oleuropein-based bioactives in olive oil could reduce tumor necrosis factor α, interleukin-1β and nitric oxide. Therefore, the quality of olive biophenols should be preserved and even improved due to their disease-fighting properties. Understanding the molecular dynamics of oleuropein is crucial to increase olive oil and table olive quality. The objective of this review is to

All the friendships and people that I’ve met because of or in spite of this failure count in the 100’s. Tearfully I realize that I would do it all over again in a heartbeat and I’m grateful for that past experience. The thought I had created about that business venture being a failure is NO LONGER THERE. It is replaced with a new thought and feeling…one of deep and sincere gratitude. I’m grateful for the experience. I’m grateful for the failure. I’m grateful for all the growth that I’ve experienced.

You could say that the light has replaced the darkness. I have blossomed into a more soulful, authentic, realthan we give ourselves credit for.

The very thought that MY thoughts are the cause of the events that take place in my life has got me thinking…what else is possible?

I’ve always thought of myself as a person possessing a great amount of perseverance…being able to work at something long enough to master it. Persistence, on the other hand, has been a word I’ve associated with nagging willfulness. I haven’t given it the same high marks as perseverance. Given that the past couple of week we’ve been studying persistence in MKMMA, I thought I’d look into the differences and similarities of the two and see what I could come up with.

It is also being around people who push you to excel.

I recently watched the movie “Wild”, a true story of a woman named Cheryl Strayed (played by one of my favorite actresses Reese Witherspoon). She makes all the wrong choices after her mother, and best friend, dies suddenly of a fatal disease. She is lost, lonely, and takes out her anger in ways that are harmful spiritually, emotionally, and physically. In her quest to find herself she decides to solo hike the Pacific Crest Trail. A 1,100-mile trek that changes her DNA forever.

The lesson in this movie is the purposeful pursuit to find herself one step at a time. She did not give up…even when fellow trail mates did. She pushed forward, single and a woman in theIntroduction {#s1}
============

The emerging challenge in the treatment of colorectal cancer (CRC), the third most common cancer, is the relapse of the disease. Nearly 50% of CRC patients show recurrence of the disease. The presence of chemo- and radio-therapy resistant cancer stem/stem-like cells (CSCs/CSLCs) could be one of the underlying causes [@pone.0068543-Dean1]. These cells are small population of undifferentiated tumor initiating cells having infinite self renewal capacity and are therefore referred to as tumor initiating cells [@pone.0068543-OBrien1]. PTEN (phosphatase and tensin homolog), a tumor suppressor gene has been reported to play role in stem cell self-renewal [@pone.0068543-DiCristofano1]. PTEN acts as a lipid phosphatase to dephosphorylate phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate (PIP3), antagonizing the PI3-K/Akt pathway. Downregulation of PTEN in different human tumors has been shown to result in resistance to conventional therapy


has intrinsic limitations and may miss certain types of bursts or provide only limited information on others. BATSE is a triggered instrument; it will record data on a burst if the detector counts in a time interval $\Delta t$ and energy range $\Delta E$ exceed some threshold value $C_{min}(\Delta t)$ determined by the background fluctuations. BATSE uses three trigger time intervals $\Delta t = 1024, 256,$ and $ 64$ ms with four energy channels $\Delta E = 25-50,50-100,100-300,$ and $ > 300 $ keV. For most of the data, triggering is based on counts in channels 2 and 3; recently, however, other channel combinations have been tried. Here we will use the 4 channel LAD fluence values published in the BATSE 3B catalog (Meegan et al., 1995), whichHowever, the effect of the truncation on $\alpha$ and $\beta$ is more complicated and not as pronounced as that of $E_{p}$ and $F_{tot}$. We will deal with the former in future publications. Here, we limit our discussion to obtaining the true distributions of $E_{p}$ and $F_{tot}$. We will present the results from the Band spectrum fits to the bursts only; the smooth double power-law spectrum in equation (6) gives qualitatively similiar results for all of the following analysis.

Distribution of $E_{p}$
=======================

For each burst we have the values of $\alpha,\beta$, $A$, $E_{p}$, and the observed fluence $F_{obs} = \int_{E_{1}}^{E_{2}} F_{\alpha,\beta,A}(E,E_{p}) dE$, with $E_{1} = 50 keV$ and $E_{2} = 300 keV$. From equation 1, we can calculate the fluence threshold $F_{obs,lim}$. Using this limit, we can determine the possible range


d_{L}^{2}}(1+z),$$ where $d_{L}$, the luminosity distance, depends on redshift and the cosmological model (Weinberg, 1972).

Again, because the detector is sensitive only over a finite energy range, BATSE does not necessarily obtain all photons from the burst. Hence, the detector measures only a portion of the burst’s total fluence. However, the total fluence of a GRB can be obtained from the spectral fits to the observed fluence simply by integrating over the spectrum of that burst: $ F_{tot} = \int_{E_{min}}^{\infty}
F_{\alpha,\beta,A}(E,E_{p}) dE.$, where $E_{min}$ denotes the beginning of the gamma ray energy range (as an estimate, we use $E_{min} = 25$ keV). This fluence will have an observational lower limit in the same way that the fluence from $50-300$ keV has, and its threshold is given by the generalizationfluence simply by summing up the published fluence values for the four channels of the LAD detector. Following the tradition of radio astronomers (see Lee and Petrosian, 1996), we divide out the $-3/2$ power law dependence of the number on the total fluence. In this way, deviation from the horizontal line suggests deviation from a homogeneous, isotropic, static, Euclidean distribution. In these figures, we have included all 518 bursts available - including those whose spectral fits gave high values of $\chi^{2}$ - so as not to underestimate any part of these distributions. We have also applied the same procedure to the subsample of bursts with acceptable values of $\chi^{2}$ and find that the distributions are similiar to those of the complete sample within about 30 %. Note that


these results comes from neglect of the time bias, spectral bias, and uncertainty in the value of the K-correction. These source of error are absent when dealing with the total fluence, which requires no correction for time bias (Lee and Petrosian, 1996), includes the spectral bias (described above), and requires no K-correction. Thus, the relation between the total fluence counts and either the cosmological models or the luminosity function and its evolution is more straight forward. Here we concentrate on the rate evolution of GRBs.

To obtain some indication of possible evolution, we assume several representative values for the total radiated energy ${\cal E}$$_{tot}$ and derive the comoving rate density from the observed differential counts of the fluences as $$\rho (z) = (1+z)n(F_{tot})(dV/dz)^{-1} (dF_{tot}/dz)$$ where $n(F_{tot})$ is the differential

What if I told you that video game designers were purposefully manipulating your behavior and brain chemistry to get you more and more invested in their virtual worlds?

So what, right?

Video games are for kids, and you’re a fancy ecommerce executive who has better things to do than read about behavioral design video games.

But think about it for a second. Both video games and online shopping both take place on a screen, require direct input from the user, and those interactions have an impact on the user and the world around them.

What’s the basic flow of most video games?

Player needs to overcome challenge

Player collects resources

Player gets slight advantage

Difficulty rises to challenge player

Repeat

Doesn’t that also sound a little bit like what’s going on in a typical buyer’s journey?

Now what if


I told you that game designer’s mastery of behavioral psychology has been a big part of what has turned video games a $21 billion dollar industry?

Still think games are for kids?

The Parallels in Gaming/Ecommerce Demographics

This notion that video games are for isolated adolescent boys simply is not true. According to studies by Nielsen, Pew and ESA:

59% of Americans play video games

81% of adults between the ages of 18-29 are gamers

48% of gamers are female

In fact, if you’ve ever played a game on your smartphone while waiting in line, technically, you’re considered a “gamer.” Now, when we look at similar stats ecommerce shoppers, we see some very interesting parallels:

Clearly, with some overlap in the demographic, and with both shopping and gaming interactions taking place on a screen in anotes on screen in rhythm in order to simulate playing guitar in a rock band.

While this is fun on it’s own, it’s not the content that ultimately keeps people engaged. It's because the game mechanics are tailored specifically to the 3 major “feedback loops” people need in order to understand their own competence and where they stand as it relates to mastering the game.

Immediate/Granular Feedback - When the player strums the guitar in time with the descending notes, the note explodes in a colorful flash, the song plays the correct notes and is pleasing to listen to.

However, if the note is missed, the player hears a displeasing “Twang” sound. If you miss too many notes, the crowd will boo, the song will sound terrible, and you fail the

Social Commerce Ninja’s app “Boost Sales” takes a slightly different approach, and creates a pop-up for recommended cross sells after the visitor has clicked the “Add to Cart” button.

These moments of sustained competence feedback demonstrate that the site is “aware” that the visitor is taking continuous action towards the desired goal. The trick is that these interactions must be executed in a way that is meaningful to theQ:

Mobile health (mHealth) technologies have the potential to improve self-management activities of individuals living with chronic conditions, including those living with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) \[[@R1], [@R2]\]. In the developed world, HIV is categorized as a chronic condition, since persons living with HIV (PLWH) are able to live with the illness for decades \[[@R3]\]. Unfortunately, even with optimal antiretroviral therapy (ART) adherence, over time HIV infection may increase the risk of comorbid conditions such as cardiovascular disease, liver disease, diabetes, and asthma among others \[[@R4], [@R5]\], often referred to as HIV-associated non-AIDS (HANA) conditions. HANA conditions are more common among older individuals even after adjusting for age and other known risk factors \[[@R6]\]. Therefore, the future of self-management for PLWH, particularly those living with HANA conditions, willProcedures {#S10}

During usability testing, participants were first provided a brief explanation of the app and its functionalities and were then given a list of tasks to complete ([Table 1](#T1){ref-type="table"}). Tasks representin the main features of the app were selected to ensure that any usability concerns associated with these functions would be identified. Participants were then asked to speak aloud their thoughts while they worked through the provided tasks to enable researchers to comprehensively and reliably identify usability concerns \[[@R20]\]. Morae software™ \[[@R15]\] was used to record both participants voices and on-screen movements. A member of the research team was present during sessions to provide guidance when a participant was unable to move through a task independently and to take notes. Following their use of the app participants completed


a survey using Qualtrics survey management software.

### Instruments {#S11}

The survey included demographic and technology use questions, a health literacy assessment, and two validated measures of usability. Health literacy levels were assessed using the Newest Vital Sign (NVS), in which participants are provided a nutrition label and then asked to answer a series of six questions regarding the information contained in the label. Scores range from 0 to 6 where a score of 0 or 1 indicates a "high likelihood" of, 2 or 3 indicates the "possibility" of, and 4-6 indicates likely to have "adequate" health literacy \[[@R21]\].The first usability measure was self-reported ease of use which was measured with the Health Information Technology Usability Evaluation Scale (Health-ITUES) \[[@R22]; [@R23]\]. This 20-item tool is designed to support customization atmore seriously. The Sartors subsequently entered into a contract to sell their Manchester home. The parties dispute whether the Sartors then took steps to purchase a condominium in Manchester to live during the remainder of Sartor's tenure as Town Manager.
Sartor subsequently consulted with the Mayor and other members of the Board concerning retirement options, and a severance agreement ("Agreement") was generated as a result of those discussions. Sartor agreed to the terms of the Agreement and it was brought to the Board for its consideration. Section 6 of the proposed agreement provided that Sartor's unused accrued sick and vacation time would be considered as wages for the purpose of calculating his pension benefits after he retired. This amount  in excess of $80,000  would have the effect


Bruce Barth ("Barth"). Barth furnished an opinion to the Town which stated that the Agreement appeared to be legal and fair, but that Item 6 of the Agreement could be interpreted as inconsistent with section 11-39 of the Town's pension ordinances. Section 11-39 of the Town's pension ordinances provided that an employee's pension shall be based on the employee's wages or salary and not any "maintenance or other special payments or renumeration" provided to the employee. Barth maintained that the Pension Board could interpret the leave payments as being "special payments" under section 11-39, rather than wages or salary, notwithstanding the language of the Agreement. Accordingly, Barth suggested that the Board pass an ordinance which would specifically provide that those payments were Sartor's salary or wages. In accordancethat several genuine issues of material fact exist that preclude summary judgment.

II. Summary Judgment Standard
In a motion for summary judgment, the burden is on the moving party to establish that there are no genuine issues of material fact in dispute and that it is entitled to judgment as a matter of law. See Fed.R.Civ.P. 56(c); Anderson v. Liberty Lobby, Inc., 477 U.S. 242, 256, 106 S.Ct. 2505, 91 L.Ed.2d 202 (1986). A court must grant summary judgment "`if the pleadings, depositions, answers to interrogatories, and admissions on file, together with affidavits, if any, show that there is no genuine issue as to any material fact ....'"

not set forth evidence of a benefit that the Town received in exchange for his generous severance package, and that his promise to resign cannot constitute consideration because he was an "at will" employee. The Town cites a Fifth Circuit case in support of its argument, Sheline v. Dun & Bradstreet Corp., 948 F.2d 174 (5th Cir.1991). In Sheline, the Fifth Circuit held that an employee's promise to resign voluntarily and forego any claims against his employer constituted "little (if any)" consideration for the employee's severance agreement because he was an "at will" employee. 948 F.2d at 178 (citing Martin v. Credit Protection Ass'n, Inc., 793 S.W.2d 667, 670 (Tex.1990) ("continuation of an employment at-will relationship does not constitute independent valuable consideration to support the covenant [not toin the legislative debate that municipalities would be required to have an actuarial assessment performed in every instance where a municipality entered into individual agreements with employees. There is also no mention of severance agreements in the legislative debate. Instead, the focus of the debate was centered on material impacts on municipalities' pension funds. Thus, the legislative history of § 7-450a does not indicate that the Town was required to perform an actuarial assessment before entering into the Agreement with Sartor.[9]
The Town has made no showing that the Agreement "alters" the pension system. Sartor's agreement affected no other municipal employees as to their benefits under the Town's pension plan. The Town of Manchester itself also expressly reserves the right "to alter or vary the rate or amount of

Theses on the Concept of the Digital Simulacrum

Here are my notes for the presentation at SALE in Venice, in the context of the catalunyan pavilion.

1.

The deceptive nature of the digital image is not evoked by a certain resemblance of original and copy, or reality and its simulation. No matter whether faithful or unfaithful, the similitude of the simulacrum seems no longer a question of likeness or unlikeness. Instead, similarity has turned into simultaneity; it has become a question entirely occupied by time: synchronized time and temporal command.

The digital image is characterized by a promise of instant availability in so-called real time that comes along with the idea of global compatibility. Today, the illusionary character of the image lies in the proclamation of immediate access to the recorded dataare confident a deal can be struck even though they don’t want to pay the full fee in cash.

The club have offered fringe players Jermaine Jenas and David Bentley to make up part of the transfer and also suggested whether Fulham would take Tom Huddlestone on loan.

Dembele, who has admitted he wants to play for a “top club”, fits Spurs’s requirements as he can play in central midfield as well as in a more attacking role. His age also meets Levy’s criteria of a young talent with potential for a sell-on value.

Talks are still at an early stage but the club are also busy working on a number of other transfers which could go right down to the wire. While confidence is high that Spurs will sign the


accuracy of automated capture of reflux events; any discrepancies between the reviewers were resolved by discussion.

Since study patients had pH-impedance studies performed both on and off PPI therapy, symptom reflux correlation was first assessed. Symptoms were considered associated with reflux events if they occurred within 2 minutes following a reflux event. Symptom associated probability (SAP) was calculated using the Ghillebert probability estimate.[@b14-jnm-24-387] SAP was designated positive if the likelihood of a chance association between symptoms and reflux events was \< 5%, corresponding to *P* \< 0.05 and SAP \> 95%. The SAP was first calculated for pH-detected reflux events, then re-calculated for all impedance-detected reflux events. Our group has previously shown that Ghillebert probability estimate correlates very well with SAP calculated using the Weusten method, with sensitivity ofwith GERD in general, and especially more profound manifestations of GERD such as Barrett's esophagus.[@b23-jnm-24-387],[@b24-jnm-24-387] While the Chicago classification does not have an IEM category with long breaks, Almansa et al[@b7-jnm-24-387] report that this phenotype may be associated with abnormal bolus clearance, likely from bolus escape through the break. Our findings therefore add to the growing body of evidence supporting a link between long breaks and esophageal symptoms, particularly in cough as a presenting symptom.[@b6-jnm-24-387],[@b7-jnm-24-387]

The precise mechanism of symptom generation from reflux of gastric content is unclear. Both chemical and mechanical receptors participate in reflux symptom generation, especially heartburn and chest pain. Cough in particular is thought to have 2 separate mechanisms leading to symptom generation--aspiration of refluxate into the trachea (likely infrequent), and triggering of a reflexive
