- **All new documentation!** nose's documentation is now generated by
Sphinx. And thanks to Pam Zerbinos, it is much better organized and easier
to use and read.
- Two new core commandline options can help with testing namespace
packages. :option:`--first-package-wins` is useful when you want to test one
part of a namespace package that uses another part; in previous versions of
nose, the other part of the namespace package would be evicted from
sys.modules when the 2nd loaded. :option:`--traverse-namespace` is useful if
you want nose to discover tests across entries in a package's
__path__. (This was formerly the default behavior).
- To make it easier to use custom plugins without needing setuptools,
:func:`nose.core.main` and :func:`nose.core.run` now support an
:doc:`addplugins <doc_tests/test_addplugins/test_addplugins>` keyword
argument that takes a list of additional plugins to make available. **Note**
that adding a plugin to this list **does not** activate or enable the
plugin, only makes it available to be enabled via command-line or
config file settings.
- Thanks to Kevin Mitchell, nose is now more compatible with
IronPython. IronPython is still not fully supported, but it should work. If
you'd like to improve nose's support for IronPython further, please join the

default-score plugins, and so be able to catch more import-time code. Thanks
to Ned Batchelder for the bug report and patch (#190).
- nose now runs under jython (jython svn trunk only at this time). Thanks to
Philip Jenvey, Pam Zerbinos and the other pycon sprinters (#160).

(#154). Thanks to John J Lee for the bug report and patch.
- Fixed bug in ErrorClassPlugin that made some missing keyword
argument errors obscure (#159). Thanks to Philip Jenvey for the bug
report and patch.
- Fixed bug in capture plugin that caused it to record captured output
on the test in the wrong attribute (#113).
- Fixed bug in result proxy that caused tests to fail if they accessed
certain result attibutes directly (#114). Thanks to Neilen Marais
for the bug report.

IPluginInterface. Thanks to nosexunit for the bug report. (Issue
- Fixed isclass() function in nose.util so that it will not raise an
exception when examining instances that have no accessible __bases__
attribute. (Issue #65).
- Fixed passing of tests to result; the test itself and not the
wrapper was being passed, resulting in test description plugin hooks
not being called. (Issue #71).
- Fixed bugs in FailureDetail and Capture plugins, and plugin manager
and proxy uses of chainable plugin calls. Thanks to Ian Bicking for

- Rewrote test runner and result classes to reduce duplication of effort.
- Revised configuration system to be less convoluted.
- Added nose.case.TestCase as universal wrapper for all
testcases. Plugins always see instances of this class.
- Added a management layer to the plugin system, allowing for easy use
of different plugin loading schemes. The default manager loads
builtin plugins, 0.10 plugins under the setuptools entrypoint
nose.plugins.0-10 and provides limited support for legacy plugins
loaded under the entrypoint nose.plugins.
- Added plugin hooks in all phases of discovery, running and description.

setuptools. Thanks to Allen Bierbaum for the suggestion.
- Fixed a bug in the doctests plugin that caused an error when multiple
exclude arguments were specified. Thanks to mbeachy for the bug report and

nosetests and have access to all nose features and plugins. Thanks to James
Casbon for the patch.
- Added make_decorator function to nose.tools. Used to construct decorator
functions that are well-behaved and preserve as much of the original
function's metadata as possible. Thanks to Antoine Pitrou for the patch.
- Added nose.twistedtools, contributed by Antoine Pitrou. This module adds
@deferred decorator that makes it simple to write deferred tests, with or
without timeouts.
- Added monkeypatch to doctests that keeps doctest from stepping on coverage
when the two plugins are used together. Thanks to David Avraamides for the
bug report.
- Added isolation plugin. Use this plugin to automatically restore sys.modules
after each test module or package. Thanks to Michal Kwiatkowski for the
feature request.

the test case class. Thanks to Jason Hildebrand for the patch.
- Improved compatibility with python 2.2. Thanks to Chad Whitacre for the
- Fixed bug in handling of options from setup.cfg. Thanks to Kumar McMillan for
the patch.
- Fixed bug in generator methods, where a generator method using an inline
funciton would result in an AttributeError. Thanks to Antoine Pitrou for the
bug report.
- Updated coverage plugin to ignore lines tagged with #pragma: no cover,
matching the behavior of coverage.py on the command line. Thanks to Bill
Zingler for the bug report.
- Added a man page for nosetests. Thanks to Gustavo Noronha Silva for the
request and providing an example.
- New function nose.runmodule() finds and runs tests only in a
single module, which defaults to __main__ (like unittest.main() or
doctest.runmodule()). Thanks Greg Wilson for the suggestion.
- Multiple -w (--where) arguments can now be used in one command line,
to find and run tests in multiple locations. Thanks Titus Brown for
the suggestion.
- Multiple --include and --exclude arguments are now accepted in one command
line. Thanks Michal Kwiatkowski for the feature request.
- Coverage will now include modules not imported by any test when
using the new --cover-inclusive switch. Thanks James Casbon for the
- module:TestClass test selections now properly select all tests in the test
- startTest and stopTest are now called in plugins at the beginning and end of
test suites, including test modules, as well as individual tests. Thanks
Michal Kwiatkowski for the suggestion.
- Fix bug in test selection when run as ``python setup.py test``: 'test' was
passing through and being used as the test name selection. Thanks Kumar
McMillan for the bug report.
- Fix bug in handling of -x/--stop option where the test run would stop on
skipped or deprecated tests. Thanks Kumar McMillan for the bug report.
- Fix bug in loading tests from projects with layouts that place modules in
/lib or /src dirs and tests in a parallel /tests dir.
- Fix bug in python version detection. Thanks Kevin Dangoor for the bug report
and fix.
- Fix log message in selector that could raise IndexError. Thanks Kumar
McMillan for the bug report and patch.

on command line. Thanks Ian Bicking for the bug report.
- Fix bug in running fixtures (setup/teardown) that are not functions, and
report a better error message when a fixture is not callable. Thanks Ian
Bicking for the bug report.
- More unit tests and better test coverage. Numerous bugfixes deriving from
- Make --exe option do what it says, and turn it on by default on
Windows. Add --noexe option so windows users can turn if off.Thanks
richard at artsalliancemedia dot com for the bug reports.
- Handle a working directory that happens to be in the middle of a package
more gracefully. Thanks Max Ischenko for the bug report and test case.
- Fix bugs in test name comparison when a test module is specified whose name
overlaps that of a non-test module. Thanks Max Ischenko for the bug report
and test case.
- Fix warning spam when a non-existent test file is requested on the command
line. Thanks Max Ischenko for the bug report.
- Allow --debug to set any logger to DEBUG. Thanks to casbon at gmail dot com
for the patch.
- Fix doctest help, which was missing notes about the environment variables
that it accepts. Thanks to Kumar McMillan for the patch.
- Restore sys.stdout after run() in nose.core. Thanks to Titus Brown for the
bug report.
- Correct handling of trailing comma in attrib plugin args. Thanks Titus Brown
for the patch.
- Fix bug in handling of OR conditions in attrib plugin. Thanks to Titus
Brown for the bug report.
- Fix bug in nose.importer that would cause an attribute error when a local
module shadowed a builtin, or other object in sys.modules, without a
__file__ attribute. Thanks to casbon at gmail dot com for the bug report.
- Fix bug in nose.tools decorators that would cause decorated tests to appear
with incorrect names in result output.
- In TestLoader, use inspect's isfunction() and ismethod() to filter functions
and methods, instead of callable(). Thanks to Kumar McMillan for reporting
the bug.
- Fix doctest plugin: return an empty iterable when no tests are found in a
directory instead of None. Thanks to Kumar McMillan for the bug report and
- Ignore executable python modules, unless run with --exe file. This is a
partial defense against nose causing trouble by loading python modules that
are not import-safe. The full defense: don't write modules that aren't
import safe!
- Catch and warn about errors on plugin load instead of dying.
- Renamed builtin profile module from nose.plugins.profile to
nose.plugins.prof to avoid shadowing stdlib profile.py module.
- Add support for plugins, with hooks for selecting, loading and reporting on
tests. Doctest and coverage are now plugins.
- Add builtin plugins for profiling with hotshot, selecting tests by
attribute (contributed by Mika Eloranta), and warning of missed tests
specified on command line.
- Change command line test selection syntax to match unittest. Thanks to Titus
Brown for the suggestion.
- Option to drop into pdb on error or failure.
- Option to stop running on first error or failure. Thanks to Kevin Dangoor
for the suggestion.
- Support for doctests in files other than python modules (python 2.4 only)
- Reimplement base test selection as single self-contained class.
- Reimplement test loading as unittest-compatible TestLoader class.
- Remove all monkeypatching.
- Reimplement output capture and assert introspection support in
unittest-compatible Result class.
- Better support for multiline constructions in assert introspection.
- More context output with assert introspections.
- Refactor setuptools test command support to use proxied result, which
enables output capture and assert introspection support without
monkeypatching. Thanks to Philip J. Eby for the suggestion and skeleton
- Add support for generators in test classes. Thanks to Jay Parlar for the
suggestion and patch.
- Add nose.tools package with some helpful test-composition functions and
decorators, including @raises, contributed by Scot Doyle.
- Reimplement nose.main (TestProgram) to have unittest-compatible signature.
- All-new import path handling. You can even turn it off! (If you don't,
nose will ensure that all directories from which it imports anything are on
sys.path before the import.)
- Logging package used for verbose logging.
- Support for skipped and deprecated tests.
- Configuration is no longer global.
- Add support for py.test-style test generators. Thanks to Jay Parlar for
the suggestion.
- Fix bug in doctest discovery. Thanks to Richard Cooper for the bug report.
- Fix bug in output capture being appended to later exceptions. Thanks to
Titus Brown for the patch that uncovered the bug.
- Fix bug(?) in Exception patch that caused masked hasattr/__getattr__ loops
to either become actual infinite loops, or at least take so long to finally
error out that they might as well be infinite.
- Add -m option to restrict test running to only tests in a particular package
or module. Like the -f option, -m does not restrict test *loading*, only
test *execution*.
- When loading and running a test module, ensure that the module's path is in
sys.path for the duration of the run, not just while importing the module.
- Add id() method to all callable test classes, for greater unittest
- Fix bug with coverage output when sys.modules contains entries without
__file__ attributes
- Added -p (--cover-packages) switch that may be used to restrict coverage
report to modules in the indicated package(s)
- Output capture and verbose assertion errors now work when run like
'python setup.py test', as advertised.
- Code coverage improvements: now coverage will be output for all modules
imported by any means that were not in sys.modules at the start of the test
run. By default, test modules will be excluded from the coverage report, but
you can include them with the -t (--cover-tests) option.
- Fix bugs in handling of setup/teardown fixtures that could cause TypeError
exceptions in fixtures to be silently ignored, or multiple fixtures of the
same type to run. Thanks to Titus Brown for the bug report.
- Add -V (--version) switch to nosetests
- Fix bug where sys.path would not be set up correctly when running some
tests, producing spurious import errors (Thanks to Titus Brown and Mike
Thomson for the bug reports)
- For test classses not derived from unittest.TestCase, output (module.Class)
"doc string" as test description, when method doc string is available
(Thanks to David Keeney for the suggestion, even if this isn't quite what he
- Revise import to bypass sys.path and manipulate sys.modules more
intelligently, ensuring that the test module we think we are loading is the
module we actually load, and that modules loaded by other imports are not
reloaded without cause
- Allow test directories inside of packages. Formerly directories matching
testMatch but lacking an __init__.py would cause an ImportError when located
inside of packages
- Fix bugs in different handling of -f switch in combination with -w and -o
- Fix bug in main() that resulted in incorrect exit status for nosetests
script when tests fail
- Add missing test files to MANIFEST.in
- Miscellaneous pylint cleanups
- Add doctest support
- Add optional code coverage support, using Ned Batchelder's coverage.py;
activate with --coverage switch or NOSE_COVERAGE environment variable
- More informative error message on import error
- Fix bug where module setup could be called twice and teardown skipped
for certain setup method names.
- main() returns success value, does not exit. run_exit() added to support
old behavior; nosetests script now calls nose.run_exit()
- Fix bus error on exit
- Discover tests inside of non-TestCase classes that match testMatch
- Reorganize selftest: now selftest tests the output of a full nose run
- Add test_with_setup.py contributed by Kumar McMillan
- Refactor and correct bugs in discovery and test loading
- Reorganize and expand documentation
- Add -f (run this test file only) switch
- Bugfix release: test files in root of working directory were not being
stripped of file extension before import.
- Change license to LGPL
- Major rework of output capture and assert introspection
- Improve test discovery: now finds tests in packages
- Replace -n switch ('no cwd') with -w switch ('look here')
- New nosetests script
- Allow specification of names on command line that are loadable but not
directly loadable as modules (eg nosetests -o path/to/tests.py)
- Add optional py.test-like assert introspection. Thanks to Kevin Dangoor
for the suggestion.
- Improvements to selftest
- Increased compatibility with python 2.3 (and maybe earlier)
- Increased compatibility with tests written for py.test: now calls
module.setup_module(module) if module.setup_module() fails

Staff were friendly and couldn't do enough to help us. Location is great too, very close to the main train station and bus tour stops and only a short walk to the Colosseum. Great value for money, would definitely recommend this hotel.

LifeOne moment, you're there. The next, you're not. Simple as that. And yet, it's so complex, so mystifying. It easily perplexes many. How can it be so close, so intimate to us, and yet remain a mystery like that? Such a small event being so big? Having such a huge effect? These unanswered questions express the mystery and uncertainty of those who feel its effects. They were so healthy, so happy...More Like This

This business of having clients on both sides of the same issue is known in most places (not counting, of course, Your Nation's Capital) as a conflict of interest. Some conflicts are easy to avoid. But being paid by Clinton to advise her on how best to oppose the Columbian Free Trade Agreement and being paid by Burson-Marsteller for advising the Columbians on how to minimize opposition (like Clinton's) to the same pact is - even INSIDE the District of Columbia - a serious conflict.
The Clinton campaign stated that Penn was meeting with the Ambassador in his role as the CEO of Burson. But a spokesman for the government of Columbia, according to the Wall Street Journal, appeared to disagree, saying:
"The ambassador met with Mr. Penn to discuss the bilateral agenda. There have also been meetings with the advisers to the campaigns of Sen. Barack Obama and Sen. John McCain. It's the embassy's job to explain Colombia's reality."
Well, that certainly sounds like the Ambassador thought he was meeting with Penn, at least partially, as a representative of the Clinton campaign.
On Saturday the country of Columbia fired the PR firm of Burson-Marsteller. According to the WSJ's Jackie Calmes, after Penn called the meeting "an error in judgment," the Columbians canned B-M saying:
"The Colombian government considers this a lack of respect to Colombians, and finds this response unacceptable."
By Sunday night the pressure - internally and externally - became too much and Penn was out as the Senior Strategist and More of the Clinton campaign.
It didn't take long for the Clinton insiders to begin dancing on Penn's professional grave. Again, according to Jackie Calmes in the WSJ:
Mr. Penn has been blamed by Clinton advisers and supporters for a flawed strategy that has left the New York senator, once seen as the inevitable nominee, instead struggling against Sen. Obama for the Democrats' nomination.
As the old saying goes: In Washington, ya want a friend? Buy a dog.
As the new saying goes: Wanna wear two hats? Buy a second head.

Keira Knightley
Birth Name: Keira Knightley
Born: 03/26/1985
Birth Place: London, England, GB
Born Keira Christina Knightley in Teddington, Middlesex, in England on March 26, 1985, Knightley came from an entertainment family. Her father, Will Knightley, was a television and stage actor; her mother Sharman MacDonald was an actress, playwright, and novelist. Plagued by dyslexia as a child, Knightley worked hard to achieve good grades so that she could convince her parents to allow her to pursue acting, which was her main goal from a very early age - enough that she asked for an agent at the age of three. By the age of seven, she had made her television debut with a bit part in "Royal Celebration" (1993), and over the next few years appeared in several noteworthy English television movi...

St. Francis at Duquesne -- A LIVE GAMEDAY THREAD
By Colin Dunlap | 3:43 p.m. Tuesday
A quick thought as I am about to leave my home for the Palumbo to get this thread going: As I was growing up, I heard storied about the Nelson twins -- one of whom I grew up with their son -- standing back to back, in a bench-clearing brawl, and pretty much taking on all who dared come near them.
I seem to remember the story involved a game against St. Francis?
Is that true?
Can you old-timers help me out here?
Just a thought to get this thread going today.
(Remember, to register to comment, click here: http://community.post-gazette.com/CreateUser.aspx
UPDATE 5:52 p.m.: Because he has been begging to make an appearance on the blog, I will grant Dukes team manager Shane Lohman his unyielding wish -- he wanted his photo on the blog.
Merry Christmas:
6:24 p.m.: Note to self, don't eat wings when you have a nice button down and tie on. Yes, I got splatter on myself. I'm good, though, now, for the most part. Juliet Sargent -- who works in the sports information office -- was the first responder to the emergency, dabbed most of the stain out and I finished off the rest. I'm good -- about a half hour until tip off.
And, seriously, don't eat wings when you need to do business.
7:05 p.m.: Game underway, Saunders hits a jumper and then Evans hit a 3. If the Dukes can hit jumpers, and have success without having to go inside, looooooooooooooooooong night for the Frankies.
7:11 p.m.: Evans is now 6 for his last 10 from 3. Dukes up 12-5 with 15:24 left.
7:16 p.m.: Dukes on a 13-0 run. By the way, Saint Francis' Devin Sweetney is not afraid to get his name in the book. He got three shots up, and a foul -- in a minute.
7:20 p.m.: Lucas Newton is in the game. In the first half. Before the halfway point of the first half.
7:27 p.m.: Chase Robinson is in the game, again. Nice to see Everhart cultivating the bench more. And, honestly, Robinson is by no means lost out there, he has played well. Dukes up, 25-10. In my estimation, this one could get ugly. 9 minutes left before half.
7:31 p.m.: By the way, Dukes are shooting 10 for 21 right now (47.6 percent) which works out to one shot below 50 percent. By contrast, the Red Flash is just 5 for 18. Dukes up, 28-14. Also, something that is definitely of notice is Eric Evans confidence. Against IUPUI, he seemed more assured. In this game, that is undeniably the case, as well. Right now, he has 11 and is 4 for 5 shooting.
7:37 p.m.: Marhold has given a few good minutes as the Dukes are ahead, 34-23. Like Robinson, good for Marhold to get in the mix, as it shows a cultivation of the bench. One thing: The Dukes are ahead 11, and it feels like they should be up about 20. Anyone else feel that way?
7:46 p.m.: Dukes opening it up a little now, as they lead, 43-24. Sean Johnson is playing very well -- has 5. And seven players have scored for the Dukes. One thing that irks me (not game related) is when people say "seven different players" have scored. We are all different (unless you are a conjoined twin) thus "different" is not needed -- it is just seven players. Alright, rant over.
7:49 p.m.: Chase Robinson just took -- and made -- his first two career free throws. Dukes up by 20 with 1:02 left before the half. The runaway might just be on.
7:53 p.m.: 47-29 Dukes up at the half. Interesting moment as the teams left for the halftime locker rooms. Ron Everhart was speaking to one of the officials about something as he was leaving the floor. Saint Francis coach Don Friday, on his end of the court, waited until they were done and looked as if he wanted to speak to them as well. After the refs finished with Everhart, they simply turned away and headed for their locker room, leaving Friday with some unfinished business. He then shouted across the floor at the trio in stripes, "If you are going to talk to him, I'd like to talk to you, too."
The refs just smirked.
The crazy part -- Friday was right.
8:16 p.m.: Dukes up, 58-35 with 15:53 remaining in the game.
Here's your stat for the night: The Dukes had more made 3-point shots in the first half tonight (7) than they had in any of the previous five games.
8:25 p.m.: From the A10 scoreboard: Bona is up 5 and GW is in a 1-point game, both in the second half. Here, it is Dukes 63-42 with 11:49 left. Game over.
8:30 p.m.: I have to start writing. With all three local teams in action tonight, the copy desk would like for me to get my story in earlier rather than later. And, really, there's not much left for me to add. With 9:45 left, the Dukes are up, 71-42...you discuss.
8:59 p.m.: Here's the breaking news story I sent:
By Colin Dunlap
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
The Duquesne men's basketball team bounced back from a loss on Saturday and had an easy time with Saint Francis (Pa.) tonight, cruising past the Red Flash, 86-56, in non-conference play at the A.J. Palumbo Center.
The Dukes, which had 10 of its players score at least a point, were led by Damian Saunders who had 18 points and 12 rebounds, gathering his 10th double-double of the season. Eric Evans had 17 points and Bill Clark scored 16 to complement Saunders' effort.
Saint Francis was paced by Umar Shannon's 20 points.
Saint Francis was overmatched early, falling behind, 47-29 at halftime.
The Dukes helped jolt to their halftime lead using a 13-0 run in the early stages of the first half.
After the break, the Dukes made 10 of their first 11 shots to effectively pull away for good.
Duquesne has just one more non-conference game - Dec. 30 at Old Dominion - before they drift into the Atlantic 10 Conference opener on Jan. 6 at home against Richmond.

The Red Sox announced Saturday that they have suspended reliever Alfredo Aceves for three games because of "conduct detrimental to the team."
Aceves was livid after Friday night's win, a game in which Andrew Bailey got the four-out save. Aceves reportedly had a heated discussion with Bobby Valentine after the game and slammed the door going in and out of Bobby-V's office.
Bobby-V didn't say the exact reason why Aceves was suspended, but he did say that "it might have had something to do with" Bailey getting the save opportunity instead of Aceves. Valentine also said there wasn't necessarily an argument between him and Aceves.
However, Valentine was "a little bit disappointed" and said that "you've just got to know the difference between right and wrong."

Antonio Hill follows up his Spanish sun-soaked crime debut The Summer of Dead Toys with his second Inspector Salgado mystery, The Good Suicides. A cryptic and unnerving message is sent to a select group of managers at a cosmetics company: a horrifying photo of dogs hanging from a tree accompanied by the line, "Never forget." Soon, those on the receiving end of the email begin committing suicide in grotesquely creative ways, and the rattled Salgado is thrust into the investigation. We caught up with Hill and chatted about Barcelona's best (and not-so-great) qualities, his work in literary translation and more in a 7 questions interview.
R.J. Ellory's standout new novel, Saints of New York, is our July 2014 Top Pick in Mystery. Past and present storylines are equally compelling in this vast and beautifully written novel. We chatted with the British author via email about his masterful new work.
The characters in Saints of New York—from the corrupt cops to the good cops—are all extremely flawed. They're also surrounded by a world that is extremely dark, and even the "saints" are far from saintly. Was this a difficult book to write?
I think it's an honest book, and I try to imbue every book I write with that kind of analysis and exposure of the human condition.
In a meteoric career that has produced two series and 13 crime novels in as many years, Georgia native Karin Slaughter rocketed to international bestseller status by granting women their rightful place at murder scenes and morgues.
After writing several acclaimed novels, British author Jill Paton Walsh was tapped by the Dorothy L. Sayers estate to bring back Sayers' iconic detecting duo, Peter Wimsey and Harriet Vane. Walsh's fourth Wimsey/Vane mystery, The Late Scholar, has just been published.
Malla Nunn's fourth Detective Sergeant Emmanuel Cooper novel, Present Darkness, is our June Whodunit Top Pick! Set in 1953 Johannesburg during the early years of Apartheid, DS Cooper is grappling with the secret of his mixed race identity while aiding in a highly publicized murder investigation. But when one of the suspects turns out to be the son of Cooper's friend, Zulu DS Samuel Shabalala, Cooper can't shake the feeling that police corruption is playing a part. Our columnist, Bruce Tierney, can't get enough of Nunn's "fast-paced, intricate storylines . . . deeply flawed hero and Oscar-worthy cast of supporting characters."
Katherine Hall Page's award-winning Faith Fairchild mysteries have delighted readers since 1991, when she released her debut, The Body in the Belfry, and introduced the world to her charming caterer and sleuth. Small Plates, Page's first collection of short stories, is filled with wit and intricately spun mysteries, along with decadent descriptions of all things culinary. While Faith makes plenty of appearances in stories such as "The Body in the Dunes," new characters shine just as brightly in "The Would-Be Widower" and "Hiding Places." Cozy mystery lovers are sure to find a tale to sate their appetite here.
We chatted with Karin Salvalaggio about her writing process for Bone Dust White, why Joyce Carol Oates inspires her and what's ahead for Detective Macy Greeley in a 7 questions interview.
Peter Robinson's absorbing new novel, Children of the Revolution, is our April Top Pick in Mystery! In a 7 questions interview, Robinson shares his thoughts on keeping his beloved character fresh, the Inspector Banks television series and more.
Okey Ndibe's newest book, Foreign Gods, Inc. is a lyrical, heavy-hitting tale that Whodunit columnist Bruce Tierney praised as "the heist novel to end all heist novels." Protagonist Ike Uzondu, a frustrated New York cab driver, has a plan to end his financial struggles—he's going to steal a god.
Harry Dolan's newest novel in his acclaimed David Loogan series delves into the past, when David Loogan was still David Malone. The Last Dead Girl, prequel to 2009's Bad Things Happen, finds a 26-year-old David quickly falling for a mysterious law student, Jana. But after just 10 short days together, Jana is murdered, and David unfortunately becomes the lead suspect.

Mauna Kea Summit series - part 3
The first telescope was placed on Mauna Kea in 1968. That was a 24-inch instrument. Today, the telescope at Gemini North is 13-times that size. Gemini is one of a dozen observatories now in operation on the mountain. And that's where HPR's Dave Lawrence winds up our series on the telescopes of Mauna Kea.
Shawn Laatch of our HPR Stargazer segment is from the Imiloa Astronomy Center, which can be found online at http://www.imiloahawaii.org/; Gemini's website is http://www.gemini.edu/; the JCMT is at http://www.jach.hawaii.edu/JCMT/; NASA's IRTF is http://irtfweb.ifa.hawaii.edu/.

The Silence, a starkly beautiful, bleakly hopeless police procedural, opens with a child's rape and murder in a German field in 1986. There's no question of "who done it." We see all too clearly the murderer (Ulrich Thomsen), a caretaker from a nearby apartment complex.
So does the murderer's friend and fellow pedophile Timo (Wotan Wilke Mohring), who stands by helplessly yet complicit in the crime. Here's a man whose own sexual predilections are less appalling than his failure to stop or report the killing, which he doesn't condone. That Timo is so disgusted by the murder that he quits his friend, leaving town, doesn't begin to let him off the hook.
Timo's silence is awful, and deafening.
Suddenly, the film jumps forward to 2009, when, 23 years to the day after the first crime, a second murder of a young girl is committed in the exact same spot. "But why?" asks Krischan (Burghart Klaussner), the detective who handled the old, unsolved case, and who jumps into the new one. His question isn't existential. Though there are overtones that hint at life's meaninglessness, The Silence does ultimately answer Krischan's question, if in a way that is staggering in its sadness and lack of conventional closure.

NEW YORK (AP) — Last week's record highs on Wall Street have been followed by two days of selling this week. On Tuesday, the Dow index fell 117.59 points, or 0.7 percent, to close at 16,906.62. The Nasdaq fell 60.07 points to 4,391.46. And the S&P 500 lost 13.94 points, or 0.7 percent, to 1,963.71.
TOKYO (AP) — Asian stocks have fallen for a third day and European markets are trading cautiously ahead of corporate earnings and after record highs on Wall Street. Investors are looking to assess whether the recent run up in stock valuations has been justified. The Dow last week topped 17,000 for the first time in its 118-year history.
WASHINGTON (AP) — The government has no major economic reports on the schedule today, but investors' attention is likely to be on this afternoon's release of minutes from the Federal Reserve's June policy meeting. CMC Markets says the minutes are likely to sound more "dovish" that current economic conditions warrant since the Fed's last meeting was before June's strong jobs numbers were released.
TOKYO (AP) — The price oil is down slightly this morning. Benchmark U.S. crude for August delivery was down 5 cents at $103.35 a barrel in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The contract fell 13 cents to close at $103.40 on Tuesday.
WASHINGTON (AP) — A study Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development.puts the United States in the middle of the pack when it comes to the financial knowledge and skills of 15-year-old boys and girls. Among the 18 countries and economies studied, Shanghai had the highest average score. An OECD official says Shanghai schools identify students who are struggling and provide the support they need to be successful.

Very good setup for breakfast and take away bag for an early get away. The room was clean but a bit tired. It was a pleasant stay. Breakfast was tasty for a continental type with food and supplies refilled in a timely fashion.
The bathroom was clean but paint was wearing off on vanity base and fixtures were older.
When I got to my room, I found the air conditioner was not working properly. Within 30 minutes, the manager has installed another unit. I like that.
The bed and bedding was very comfortable.
it was kind of dingy and needed to be updated.
This guest did not leave comments about this hotel.
I wasn't able to use military discount because I online to book my room
Cleanliness of the room
Loved that the duvet cover over and under duvet was freshly clean for us, but this required that we use the duvet which was at times too hot.
All staff were extremely courteous & friendly.
Not enough parking
The best part of our experience was th evening check-in desk manager whose name is Janero. He did an excellent job of makin my husband and I feel very welcome and even offered suggestions of attractions to see while on our trip. Very satisfied.
They put us in a smoking room, we didn't take it bit have still been charged.
The hotel was clean and the breakfast was good.
The television did not work properly.
I always stay here when I go home to visit family. I've never had a bad experience. The rooms are clean and smell fresh. The staff are always friendly and accomodating. By far, the best hotel in the area.
it was a great looking property from outside, when walked it not looked as new as outside. the rooms were smelly like cat urine.

Clueless with his never ending ass kissing apologies from day one, which I believe led to the current problems .. they laughed at this first year junior senator who handed over our freedoms, our country and the lives most recently of 4 of our citizens .... they know Obama is weak.. they know he is complicit in what they do... they knew full well, even on 911 of all days, that they could most likely get away with another attack, and they did.... and why? Because as with everything else, Obama has turned his back on our allies and opened his arms to our enemies... and they took full advantage of his weak leadership... they spit on us and laugh at him... and he deserves it... what a F'ng clown!
Since he has been president everything has collapsed .. from our economy to foreign affairs ... I often wonder who is more dangerous to our country... them (the terrorists) or the enemy from within (Obama) ....
Is the Obama Administration Clueless on Mideast Turmoil?

Went to Vegas, letterman's show, and a raido show called Pimp witha a Limp. Obama was given information 36 hours AHEAD of time, what was going to happen. The film had nothing to do with it. It was made in June 2012. This was a planned attack on 9-11-12, and everywhere, we had embassy's. Obama is supporting muslims like himself and the uninformed would ,vote for him again!

When I first hear of his many connections in the middle east such as Nadhmi Auchi (who stole the "Food for Oil" funds)and to Antonin Rezco, it became obvious that the money the gave to the Obama campaign would need to be payed back by creating a chaotic situation in the Middle East so that those pals could steal more US money.
Then they rip off the USAID labels from the food and medicine boxes so that no one in the M.E. knows that America is feeding them and providing the medical treatment they need.

We already knew how he and his administration feel about white me or specifically white construction workers. He's not their POTUS either, the stimulus funds were specifically denied these while males.

POLKVILLE — Authorities in Cleveland County say a woman died in a house fire in Polkville.
WSOC-TV in Charlotte reports that neighbors said some hunters passing through the area saw the fire Wednesday night, but by the time they ran up to the house, the flames were coming out of the roof.
The victim's identity had not been released Thursday.
A few neighbors say they tried to get inside to help the woman but the door was locked and the smoke was too strong.

Security appliances
If you're in charge of IT for a small company or remote office, you consider your computing resources just as precious as those of your Fortune 500 colleagues. The problem is that network security is a complex art, and you likely don't have IT resources to spare for all the details. With that in mind, we tested all-in-one devices designed to give small offices and satellite locations advanced security capabilities in one box.
We requested appliances that perform at least four of these functions: stateful firewalling, on-device antivirus scanning, intrusion detection/prevention, virtual private networking and content filtering. Although it might make sense for larger organizations to have separate security devices with these capabilities, for smaller organizations, less is more and simplicity is key. In fact, simpler is often more secure no matter the size of your shop. In addition, because we focused on smaller settings, we limited the maximum interface speed--across a WAN, LAN or DMZ--to 100 Mbps.

Modern, complex digital systems invariably include hardware-implemented finite state machines. The correct design of such parts is crucial for attaining proper system performance. This book offers detailed, comprehensive coverage of the theory and design for any category of hardware-implemented finite state machines. It describes crucial design problems that lead to incorrect or far from optimal implementation and provides examples of finite state machines developed in both VHDL and SystemVerilog (the successor of Verilog) hardware description languages.
This text offers a comprehensive treatment of VHDL and its applications to the design and simulation of real, industry-standard circuits. It focuses on the use of VHDL rather than solely on the language, showing why and how certain types of circuits are inferred from the language constructs and how any of the four simulation categories can be implemented. It makes a rigorous distinction between VHDL for synthesis and VHDL for simulation.
Signal processing and neural computation have separately and significantly influenced many disciplines, but the cross-fertilization of the two fields has begun only recently. Research now shows that each has much to teach the other, as we see highly sophisticated kinds of signal processing and elaborate hierachical levels of neural computation performed side by side in the brain.
The annual Neural Information Processing Systems (NIPS) conference is the flagship meeting on neural computation. It draws a diverse group of attendees—physicists, neuroscientists, mathematicians, statisticians, and computer scientists. The presentations are interdisciplinary, with contributions in algorithms, learning theory, cognitive science, neuroscience, brain imaging, vision, speech and signal processing, reinforcement learning and control, emerging technologies, and applications.
This book addresses a fundamental software engineering issue, applying formal techniques and rigorous analysis to a practical problem of great current interest: the incorporation of language-specific knowledge in interactive programming environments. It makes a basic contribution in this area by proposing an attribute-grammar framework for incremental semantic analysis and establishing its algorithmic foundations. The results are theoretically important while having immediate practical utility for implementing environment-generating systems.
In recent years, many approximate methods have been developed for analyzing queueing models of complex computer systems. These ad hoc methods usually focus on specific aspects of system operation, and appear to be different from one another, making it difficult to see the underlying principles of model development, to understand the relationship between different models of the same system, or to apply the existing methods to new situations. This book presents the first systematic study of approximation methods in queueing network modeling and of the way these methods are developed.
Speed-independent circuits offer a potential solution to the timing problems of VLSI. In this book David Dill develops and implements a theory for practical automatic verification of these control circuits. He describes a formal model of circuit operation, defines the proper relationship between an implementation and its specification, and constructs a computer program that can check this relationship.
An exploration of the techniques for analyzing the behavior of one- and two-dimensional iterative networks formed of discrete, or logical elements, showing that most questions about the behavior of iterative systems are recursively undecidable.
Although state variable concepts are a part of modern control theory, they have not been extensively applied in communication theory. The purpose of this book is to demonstrate how the concepts and methods of state variables can be used advantageously in analyzing a variety of communication theory problems.
Neuromorphic engineers work to improve the performance of artificial systems through the development of chips and systems that process information collectively using primarily analog circuits. This book presents the central concepts required for the creative and successful design of analog VLSI circuits. The discussion is weighted toward novel circuits that emulate natural signal processing. Unlike most circuits in commercial or industrial applications, these circuits operate mainly in the subthreshold or weak inversion region.

Earlier this month, when the General Assembly was in Springfield, House Speaker Michael Madigan called Senate President John Cullerton six times to ask him to move the child care program restoration bill through the Senate once it passed the House.
Yes, you read that right. Six times. Madigan is definitely single-mindedly persistent.
The deal cut with Gov. Bruce Rauner's office by state Sen. Toi Hutchinson, D-Olympia Fields, and others to mostly restore the draconian Child Care Assistance Program cuts Rauner made this summer involved not voting on a bill that would've fully restored the governor's cuts.

Unit: Mycobacterial Genetics
Director: GICQUEL Brigitte
Tuberculosis remains a major public health problem responsible for about two million deaths each year. It is caused by mycobacteria from the Tuberculosis complex.The only currently available vaccine is BCG, which is relatively efficient. The efficacy of antibiotics for treating tuberculosis may be reduced by the emergence of multiresistant strains of bacteria. Our unit characterises Mycobacterium tuberculosis virulence factors and the host immune responses induced by this bacterium and BCG. Our work may help identify targets for new drugs against tuberculosis, help identify bacterial components that could be included in a new vaccine, or may even lead to a new attenuated strain more efficient than BCG. Our Unit collaborates with other teams to identify host genetic markers associated to the susceptibility to tuberculosis. We also search for genetic markers specific to epidemic M. tuberculosis strains, particularly strains responsible for multidrug-resistant outbreaks.
Genetic study of virulence determinants (M. Jackson, O. Neyrolles, B. Gicquel)
We used a temperature-sensitive vector derived from the pAL5000 plasmid of Mycobacterium fortuitum and containing the counterselective marker sacB (Ts/sacB vector) to construct allelic exchange and transposon mutants in a mycobacterial species of the M. tuberculosis complex. We constructed an ordered transposition mutant library of M. tuberculosis containing 4000 mutants using signature-tagged transposon mutagenesis (STM) and directly screened for mutants exhibiting an attenuated virulence in mice. About 4000 mutants have now been screened for their ability to multiply in the lungs of mice during the acute phase of infection. We selected 31 mutants and characterised the corresponding mutations.
We identified ten different transposon insertions in a 50 kb-region of the genome dedicated to the synthesis and transport of phthiocerol dimycocerosates (DIM) and phenolic glycolipids (PGL). Several genes from this region were functionally characterised. We have recently shown that lppX encodes a lipoprotein involved in translocating DIM to the cell surface of M. tuberculosis. The three-dimensional structure of LppX (determined in collaboration with the laboratory of Dr. Y. Bourne at the CNRS in Marseille) revealed that LppX has a similar folding pattern to LolA and LolB (Sulzenbacher et al., EMBO J., 2006). In Gram negative bacteria, LolA and LolB translocate lipoproteins from the periplasm to the outer membrane. This is the first proposed mechanism for the transport of lipids to the outer membrane of mycobacteria. This work also highlights the important role that lipoproteins play in building the mycobacterial cell envelope.
We also biochemically characterised other M. tuberculosis transposon mutants with deficiencies in the synthesis of the saccharidic and phenolic moieties of PGL and we are currently evaluating their residual virulence in macrophage and mouse models of infection.
Parallel with this, we have also studied the M. tuberculosis two-component signal transduction system PhoP-PhoR. This system has sequence similarities with the PhoP-PhoR regulator of Salmonella, which is known to regulate more than forty genes, among which are several key virulence factors. In collaboration with Prof. Carlos Martín's group (Zaragoza Medical School, Spain), we showed that PhoP-PhoR is required for the replication of the tubercle bacillus in cultured macrophages and mice. We then aimed to identify the genes regulated by PhoP-PhoR to define the molecular determinants underlying the attenuation of the virulence of the phoP mutant. As the phoP mutant exhibited altered colonial morphology and cording properties, we first compared the lipid content of phoP and phoP-phoR mutants constructed in two different strains of M. tuberculosis to that of their wild-type parent. Our results showed that PhoP co-ordinately and positively regulates the synthesis of polyketide-derived acyltrehaloses, namely diacyltrehaloses, polyacyltrehaloses and sulfolipids, that are known to be restricted to pathogenic species of the M. tuberculosis complex (Asensio et al., J. Biol. Chem, 2006).
The protective efficacy of the attenuated M. tuberculosis strains isolated in the laboratory is being studied as part of the EU FP6 program "TB-VAC".
Interactions between M. tuberculosis and phagocytes (O. Neyrolles, M. Jackson, B. Gicquel)
We are currently developing new approaches combining cell biology and functional genomics to understand better the mechanisms of macrophage parasitism by M. tuberculosis. We also used STM to identify M. tuberculosis genes involved in the ability of the bacillus to parasitise human macrophages. We have isolated 21 attenuated mutants and have identified the carried mutations. The identified genes are currently being studied.
We are also studying early interactions between mycobacteria and human phagocytes. We have recently shown that the lectin DC-SIGN is the major M. tuberculosis receptor on human dendritic cells, and that mycobacterial lipoarabinomannan (LAM) is a key DC-SIGN ligand. We have also detected DC-SIGN expression on human lung dendritic cells and have detected mycobacteria in DC-SIGN-positive dendritic cells in lymph node biopsies from patients with tuberculosis. These results suggest that DC-SIGN-mediated interactions between M. tuberculosis and dendritic cells should occur in vivo. We have also identified the molecular determinants of the LAM-DC-SIGN ligation. These explain why DC-SIGN specifically recognises pathogenic mycobacteria from the "tuberculosis" complex. Altogether, our results show that pathogenic mycobacteria may have evolved surface motifs to interact with lectins, such as DC-SIGN, on the surface of phagocytes. We have also shown that the selective recognition of M. tuberculosis by DC-SIGN most probabaly relies on multiple ligand recognition by the lectin within the mycobacterial envelope. (photo 1)
Furthermore, in collaboration with Saint-Louis and Necker Hospitals in Paris, we have observed DC-SIGN induction in alveolar macrophages from patients with TB, but not in cells from patients with other lung diseases or from control subjects. We have shown that DC-SIGN-expressing macrophages are a preferential host cell population for mycobacteria in patients with TB (Tailleux et al., PloS Medicine, 2006). The functional consequences of DC-SIGN ligation by the bacillus in the lungs of infected individuals are being investigated. Moreover, a case-control study in which our team has participated has shown that in a South-African cohort, a variant of the promoter of the gene encoding DC-SIGN is strongly associated with protection against TB (Barreiro et al., PloS Medicine, 2006). This result further highlights the important role played by the receptor during TB infection.
Identification of new anti-TB drug targets (M. Jackson, B. Gicquel)
Phosphatidylinositol (PI) and metabolically-derived products such as the phosphatidylinositol mannosides (PIM), the linear and mature branched lipomannan and lipoarabinomannan are prominent phospholipids/lipoglycans of Mycobacterium spp. that are thought to play important roles in the physiology of the bacterium and during host infection. As well as providing fundamental knowledge about the synthesis of these molecules, the characterisation of the enzymes involved in their biosynthesis may help identify attractive drug targets for the development of new anti-TB drugs.
We have identified a cluster of five genes that are potentially dedicated to the early steps of PIM synthesis. We examined the function of two of these genes, pimA (Rv2610c) and Rv2611c, and showed that they respectively encode a mannosyltransferase and an acyltransferase involved in the synthesis of di- and tri-acylated phosphatidylinositol mono-mannosides. We have also shown that PimA is essential for mycobacterial growth. Therefore, PimA may be an attractive novel drug target. The Structural Biochemistry Unit of the Institut Pasteur recently solved the structure of the PimA protein from M. smegmatis. Knowledge of the 3D-structure of this protein will allow potential inhibitors to be screened by computer analysis. The inhibitory activity of the identified compounds will then be tested in vitro using the cell-free assays that we have developed in the laboratory.
A broader approach was to identify other M. tuberculosis enzymes involved in the biosynthesis of PIM, LM and LAM by knocking out several glycosyltransferase genes potentially involved in the synthesis of these molecules by homologous recombination.
We are also studying, as part of our search for novel therapeutic targets, the mode of action of Isoxyl, an old anti-TB drug that was used for the clinical treatment of tuberculosis in the 1960s. Isoxyl inhibits oleic acid and mycolic acid synthesis in mycobacteria.
BCG and new vaccines (N. Winter)
Mycobacterium bovis BCG is the only available form of prophylaxis for controlling tuberculosis. Although BCG use is widespread, the immune mechanisms leading to partially effective vaccination are poorly understood. The innate immune response, which occurs very early after the introduction of the vaccine, is probably a decisive factor in the ensuing protective response. Thus, we injected BCG in the ear dorsum of mice as a surrogate of intradermal vaccination in humans. During the first three days, we tracked BCG host cells migrating out of the dermis to the auricular draining lymph nodes. Resident skin DCs or macrophages did not play a major role in early BCG capture and transport to the lymph nodes. Neutrophils were the principal BCG host cells rapidly recruited in both the dermis and the lymph nodes. Fluorescent green or red BCG strains injected into nonoverlapping sites were essentially sheltered by distinct neutrophils in the ADLN capsule, indicating that neutrophils had captured bacilli in peripheral tissue and transported them to the lymphoid organ. We observed by confocal microscopy on ear dermis, BCG-infected neutrophils in the lumen of lymphatic vessels. Fluorescent labelled neutrophils injected into the ears accumulated exclusively in the ipsilateral ADLN capsule after BCG vaccination. Thus, we provide in vivo evidence that neutrophils, like DCs or inflammatory monocytes, migrate via afferent lymphatics to lymphoid tissue and can shuttle live microorganisms (Abadie et al., Blood, 2005). In the lymph node, we observed neutrophils close to DCs and T-cells, suggesting that they may play a role in antigen presentation. We are currently investigating if this is the case. We are also deciphering the molecular mechanisms that allow activated neutrophils to leave the tissue and migrate to the lymph node.
After intravenous inoculation of BCG, we observed that DCs could host live BCG in vivo. Therefore, we would like to investigate how directly infected DCs process and present BCG-borne antigens to naive T-lymphocytes. We are currently investigating how the interplay between signals delivered through Toll-Like Receptors 2 and 4 and the antigen processing pathways in directly infected DCS restrict MHC class I and II presentation to naive CD8 and CD4 T-cells.

Molecular Epidemiology of Tuberculosis (Brigitte Gicquel)/p>
We looked for genetic markers specific for highly transmissible M. tuberculosis strains responsible for outbreaks, and in particular, multi-drug resistant (MDR) outbreaks. This study was carried out in collaboration with the European Network of Molecular Epidemiology, the Public Health Research Institute and the network of Pasteur Institutes and associated Institutes. We have identified specific alleles of putative genes involved in DNA repair. This suggests that antimutator genes may play a role in the evolution of several M. tuberculosis family strains. We found mut T- and ogt-specific alleles in M. tuberculosis strains of the W-Beijing genotype. These variations, which are specific to M. tuberculosis genotypes, may be useful for identifying different branches of the W. Beijing family through molecular diagnostics.
The four mutT annotated genes were investigated. We found that mutT1 is an antimutator in M. tuberculosis and M. smegmatis. However, mutT4 was found to be responsible for an antimutator phenotype only in M. smegmatis (Dos Vultos et al., J. Bacteriol., 2006).
We are using molecular methods to type M. tuberculosis strains from different geographical areas. New specific polymorphic genetic markers of major family strains have been identified. This should allow us to identify antimutator genes and the major family strains by genotyping techniques and allow their transmission to be studied.

your image been stolen twice! once from the same guy who stole one of my pieces (gold dust - he named it gold beach) and by someone else:
i just wanna inform you. i reported the one guy by myself but i thougth you might wanna report him too...and of course the other one...i hate such kinda behavior.
hope it get's straghtend out.
