Digital billboard rules debated
Milwaukee ponders pace of ad changes
New digital billboards that can rotate ads every few seconds and be programmed from hundreds of miles away are sprouting up across the country.
Outdoor advertising companies such as Clear Channel and Lamar are replacing old billboards with bright LED, or light-emitting diode, signs, sparking debates about the safety and look of the new signs.
So far, at least nine billboards have gone digital in the city of Milwaukee, where old-fashioned billboards can be converted to digital without any review process. Milwaukee has 579 billboards.
Today, the Common Council will decide if digital signs can change ads every eight seconds, as opposed to the 30 or 60 seconds currently allowed, depending on location.
If the measure passes, drivers could see several ads with every pass instead of maybe one.
Kimberly Montgomery of Mayor Tom Barrett's office said the proposal represents a consensus among the mayor's office, the city's Department of Public Works, Department of Neighborhood Services and representatives of the outdoor industry.
The Zoning, Neighborhoods and Development Committee on a 3-2 vote Friday recommended passage of the measure, with Aldermen Michael Murphy and Robert Bauman voicing strong dissent.
"What's the public benefit that you see to go to bat for this industry?" Bauman said to Montgomery at the Friday hearing.
"They wanted six seconds; your compromise is eight seconds. I don't see that as a compromise. I see that as giving them exactly what they want."
Critics and advocates disagree most about whether the signs are a distraction to drivers.
In Milwaukee, a sign near the corner of N. Oakland and E. North avenues has been permitted to rotate ads every six seconds since January 2007 as a test case, so the DPW could study driver impact. A six-month study showed no increase in accidents but was considered inconclusive.
The Federal Highway Administration is studying whether drivers might be distracted by the signs, particularly those that rotate quickly. The report is due out by 2009.
Most states allow for ads to change between four and 10 seconds, according to a report from U.S. Department of Transportation, which made a temporary recommendation of a minimum 8-second duration in September.
In the meantime, no commonly accepted standards exist for the new signs. The existing studies are "all over," said Jeffrey S. Polenske, city engineer.
"There's some people doing less than eight seconds, and there are some people banning any kind of changeable message signs," he said, referring to communities across the country.
Safety questioned
With disagreement over the signs' safety, Murphy and Bauman advocated for a moratorium on the signs until the federal study is released and, short of that, sticking with a 30-second minimum. "Why is the mayor's office suddenly in a hurry?" asked Bauman. "If there is a potential harm and no possible gain, what's the rush?"
Murphy also recommended that signs more than 1,000 feet away from a freeway require a permit, which would give the public an opportunity to voice concerns regarding signs that would more likely have an impact on residential areas.
The committee rejected the proposal. Ald. Michael D'Amato, committee chair, said that would place too many restrictions on what is seen by many to be positive change.
"I think it's evidenced by the several months that we've had opposition out there trying to get a grass-roots effort to oppose this, and this body being empty and the file having three objection letters in it - the public is not finding this to be a terrible nuisance," D'Amato said.
Some opponents also argue against the signs on aesthetic grounds, saying they'll visually clutter the city.
The measure going before the council places limits on how bright the signs can be and requires that digital signs be 400 feet from residential neighborhoods and 1,000 feet from each other, when visibly facing the same direction.
"The LED boards . . . will add exponentially to the light pollution we already endure in the Story Hill neighborhood," wrote Sandy Rusch Walton, president of the Story Hill Neighborhood Association, in a letter to the Zoning, Neighborhoods and Development committee.
Scenic America, an advocacy group that seeks to limit outdoor advertising, says the signs could be the brightest object in the landscape and have a negative impact on property values.
Proponents say the digital signs are actually an improvement over traditional billboards and more visually interesting.
Amber alerts
Proponents say they also can benefit the community. On very short notice, digital signs can be used to present Amber alerts, terrorism alerts or information about extreme weather, school closings and election results. Outdoor companies have also partnered with law enforcement in some communities to post images of violent criminals and missing persons, when time matters most.
At the end of last year, there were about 700 digital billboards in operation in 38 states, as opposed to about 450,000 traditional billboards, according to the Outdoor Advertising Association of America.
The cost of the new signs, which industry experts say has been high enough to keep proliferation measured, is also falling.
They've dropped by more than half in the past few years to between $200,000 and $500,000 depending on their size, according to an Inc. magazine report.

Chicago, IL 60612
I'm a gastrointestinal surgeon with expertise in bariatric surgery, advanced laparoscopy, hernia repair. For bariatric surgery, the two most common - the gastric bypass and the sleeve gastrectomy - both of those operations are performed laparoscopically here at Rush. People will lose somewhere around 60 to 70 percent of their excess weight with the sleeve gastrectomy or 80 percent or so of their excess weight with the gastric bypass - and that's in somewhere around 12 to 18 months when the weight loss levels out. But weight loss isn't the only thing that bariatric surgery's about, and I think it's important every time the weight loss concept comes up in relation to bariatric surgery, it's very important to also immediately begin talking about the impact of bariatric surgery on the associated medical conditions - for example, diabetes. A lot of the benefits that we see, in terms of the remission or improvement in diabetes, a lot of it begins to take some place sometimes even before patients have lost any significant amount of weight. I love being able to talk to patients who say, I was taking 20 units of insulin and now I only take 10, or now I'm completely off insulin - and being able to walk with them through that process - and by the way I lost 120 pounds while doing that - and there's nothing else like it.Read more

Needham & Company downgraded Cornerstone OnDemand (NASDAQ: CSOD) from Strong Buy to Buy with a price target of $43.00 (from $52.00).
Analyst Scott Berg commented, "Cornerstone reported a strong 3Q revenue and EPS beat with inline billings, but lowered 4Q estimates on f(x) concerns that are elongating sales and another restructuring of the high end of its mid-market sales team that is expected to disrupt some sales. We are downgrading from our top pick and Strong Buy Rating to a Buy rating to reflect near term stock volatility expected around a less certain deal environment and optically lower revenue growth year in 2017. We believe long term fundamentals of a favorable competitive environment, well positioned product, strong end market demand, and rapidly improving profitability are well intact which likely drives the stock higher once these abnormal short term sales pressures subside."

Get down on, or get down with, the rapper's viewpoint, but Da T.R.U.T.H.'s nuanced argument has long been that the WWJD attitude isn't enough, and that without worship and spreading the Gospel, all is lost. Here, the opening cut delivers "Based on how the world is changin', there's no thing as a bad decision/I'm gonna let you be the judge" with a heaping helping of snide, but even if he's on the hardline side of things, these strong words are delivered with enough sugar that "Gray" falls easily into the category of attractive highlights. Check the booming bass of "Press" and the slick, slow pop of "I Made It," and Heartbeat has something for everyone musically, even those who like to see hip-hop pushed further, as the great "Welcome Home" sits at the album's midpoint with the sunshine style of Chiddy Bang and the bounce of the old-school coming together for new flavor that secular rap ain't even heard about. In other words, it's the usual T.R.U.T.H. boldness and brilliance all over again, along with the return of the overabundance issue, although even at 16 tracks, this one only seems overstuffed by about one or two.

Skip to comments.Man hit by six meteorites is being 'targeted by aliens'
Posted on 07/19/2010 6:08:49 PM PDT by Dallas59
And now, within the past month, another rock has hit the roof of his house, in defiance of all the odds - making it six strikes since the plague of meteorites began in 2007.
Experts at Belgrade University have confirmed that all the falling rocks he has handed over were meteorites. They are now trying to work out what exactly it is about his house that particularly attracts them. The strikes always happen when it is raining heavily, he says, never when there are clear skies.
Lajic has his own explanation, of course. After the fifth rock struck his house, he said: 'I am obviously being targeted by extraterrestrials. I don't know what I have done to annoy them but there is no other explanation that makes sense. The chance of being hit by a meteorite is so small that getting hit six times has to be deliberate.'
50-year-old Lajic has had a steel girder reinforced roof put on the house to protect it from the alien bombardment - which he funded by selling one of the meteorites to a university in the Netherlands.
'I have no doubt I am being targeted by aliens,' he adds. 'They are playing games with me. I don't know why they are doing this. When it rains I can't sleep for worrying about another strike.'
Dam-ed aliens....
I hate when that happens!
That is one accurate mass driver...
I can't think of any reason to not believe him! It's not bad enough that we have one of them, an alien, in the Oval Office. Now they are starting to throw rocks at other countries.
That rock he's holding doesn't look like a meteorite.
That would be my conclusion, too...
So none of the rocks actually hit him? That would have been more news worthy...*Man beaned six times by Arachnids from planet Klendathu. Declares personal war against the bugs.
Those would be very illegal aliens.
Yeah, after six meteorite strikes, I might be thinking in terms of aliens, too.
On the other claw...
Meteorites are extremely valuable; universities and museums pay good money for those things. So do private collectors. The little green men might as well be chucking gold at him.
Color me baffled. The odds of this happening by chance are about 384,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 to 1 against!
Do borders mean nothing to these people?
These were just warning throws.....he must've really done something to PO the Aliens.....
His neighbor has a glass house and is a reprobate.
You are probably thinking they should all look like nickel-iron or stony meteorites, but they don't. I had one that looked pretty much like slag ~ found it in an old Indian campsite near home ~ everything was gone but their stone work, and the de riguerre hunk of meteorite.
I had rather have aliens shooting at me that to be THAT unlucky!!!! Can you imagine the odds, if true??
Every time I drive by this dude's house, he's looking out the window at me. Freaky. So I sneak up thru the back yard and throw a rock or two. Makes us even.
Meteorites are worth a lot of money. Even more since he had six strike in the same place. God is trying to help him out and he just keeps handing them over to the University. /s
Actually I'm wondering why there doesn't appear to be any charring.
The possible explanation I can come up with would be that it was the inner part of a rock that exploded in the atmosphere and managed to survive till its speed was slow enough that it wouldn't cook.
I believe the center is about 238 degrees below zero, and the outer surface simply gets heated and blows off (ablading ?) thereby leaving the greater body still intact quite cool.
This guy should move. If he keeps getting hit after that, maybe THEN he can claim that aliens are singling HIM out...
That makes some sense.

"looks like a carbonaceous chondrite"
Sounds like something you'd have lanced.
Heh...looks like a big leaf of tobacco...
It's probably a neighbor chucking them on his roof just to freak him out.
Looks like we have a pretty good indication of where the "big one" is going to hit on December 21, 2012.
Call me skeptical!
Hey, Mijo, I hav yor 7th meteorite rite here!
The guy reported that they only hit during a good rain. s/
Maybe he should defeat the aliens...by moving.
Maybe it's Zahpod Beeblebrox and Tricia McMillan in the Heart of Gold?
LOL. Was wondering if someone would catch the Hitchhiker's referrence!
Can anyone verify the whereabouts of Gordon Freeman and his Zero-Point Energy Manipulator?
"After the fifth rock struck his house, he said: 'I am obviously being targeted by extraterrestrials. I don't know what I have done to annoy them but there is no other explanation that makes sense. The chance of being hit by a meteorite is so small that getting hit six times has to be deliberate.'"
LOL. It's almost hard to argue with that logic.
"...and falling."
Rather appropriate for this story, don't you think?
Well, he's certainly challenging the laws of probability, that's certain.
You mean a chronic carbuncle?
50-year-old Lajic has had a steel girder reinforced roof put on the house to protect it from the alien bombardment - which he funded by selling one of the meteorites to a university in the Netherlands.
***When life gives you lemons, make lemonade.
Dunno. If he gets another hit, he might find the man who runs the galaxy...
Something like that.
"Hey you space kids, get off of my lawn!"
It's just Louie Farrakhan, hatin'.

United States District Court, Northern District of Illinois
June 27, 2011
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA EX REL.THERESA HILLv.CITY OF CHICAGO
Name of Assigned Judge or Magistrate Judge
William J. Hibbler
Sitting Judge
if Other than Assigned Judge
The Court DENIES Relator's motion [46] for a ruling on the scope of discovery in part and GRANTS it in part. The Court provides guidelines on the scope of discovery consistent with its ruling in the text below. The Court DENIES Defendant's motion [39] to compel or bar in part, and GRANTS it in part. Relator must provide Defendant references to the statutes or regulations at issue. The Court DENIES Relator's motion [43] to compel without prejudice and instructs the parties to make further attempts to resolve the issue outside of court. Finally, the Court DENIES Defendant's motion [27] for a protective order, but provides the parties with guidelines below for determining which communications are privileged and subject to protection. ■[For further details see text below.] Docketing to mail notice.
Relator Theresa Hill filed this suit on behalf of the United States of America alleging violations of the False Claims Act, 31 U.S.C. § 3729, by Defendant City of Chicago. She claims to have witnessed the City filing false certifications of the existence of equal employment opportunity and affirmative action ("EEO/AA") programs that did not actually exist in order to secure federal funding. There are currently four motions before the Court. First, Relator filed a motion to define the scope of the case so as to inform the parties' approach to discovery. Defendant seeks to limit discovery, and the case in its entirety, to the circumstances surrounding one grant received by the Chicago Police Department that Relator specifically mentioned in the complaint. Defendant argues that Relator fails to meet the requirements of Rule 9(b) in pleading any other claim. Relator appropriately cites to a number of cases that support a holding that she has met the requirements of Rule 9(b). See, e.g., U.S. ex rel. Salmeron v. Enterprise Recovery Sys, Inc., 464 F. Supp. 2d 766, 768 (N.D. Ill. 2006); U.S. ex rel. Yannacopolous v. Gen. Dynamics, 315 F. Supp. 2d 939, 945-46 (N.D. Ill. 2004).These cases hold that Rule 9(b) must be read in conjunction with the requirement of a short and plain statement in Rule 8(a). Furthermore, they hold that, as a result of this construction of 9(b), a plaintiff that alleges an extensive fraudulent scheme involving a large number of false claims need only allege the specific circumstances constituting fraud. This is especially true when the case is brought by a relator alleging fraud on a third party and, thus, the details surrounding the fraud are most likely in the defendant's possession. Yannacopolous, 315 F. Supp. 2d at 945-46.Relator has explained how the fraud took place, when it took place, and who in the City government was responsible for signing the claims (the Human Resources Department).
The City should be aware of when it certified compliance with any EEO/AA requirements to the federal government. Thus, Relator may proceed with discovery on these claims. However, Relator's claims are apparently limited by the statute of limitations. Defendant filed a motion to compel or bar, which is essentially addressed by the ruling on the motion above. Defendant sought to have Relator identify the specific circumstances surrounding each claim referenced in the complaint or, in the alternative, to bar Relator from pursuing those claims. As noted above, this is information that is likely in Defendant's possession, not Relator's. However, Relator should provide to Defendant references to the specific statutes and/or regulations that require the City to make certifications regarding EEO/AA programs. Relator also filed a motion to compel. In the motion, Relator seeks the right to depose a number of City employees. Defendant objects based on the sheer number of depositions (22), and based on the fact that certain of the potential deponents are public officials that are granted more discovery protections. See Olivieri v. Rodriguez, 122 F.3d 406, 409-10 (7th Cir. 1997). The Court does not have sufficient information to make a determination as to whether these individuals are public officials. Moreover, the Court feels that this is an issue more appropriate for resolution between the parties at this stage. The Court notes that in Olivieri, the court conditioned depositions on the plaintiff providing interrogatories that would help determine whether the depositions were necessary. Perhaps the parties could exchange such information in pursuit of a resolution. The last motion before the Court is Defendant's motion for a protective order to protect a number of emails in Relator's possession that Defendant claims are subject to the attorney-client privilege and/or protection as attorney work product. In their briefs, the parties chronicle their dispute over each email in painstaking detail. The Court will not rule with the same detail, but, in the interests of efficiency, will instead simply provide guidelines for the parties to resolve their own dispute. First, the attorney-client privilege is undoubtedly held by the City in this case. Relator may also hold the privilege in some instances, but since the City as a whole is the client, and Relator sought advice in her official capacity, the privilege belongs to the City. Second, the privilege may attach to communications in which the City attorney recommends that the Relator communicate something to a third party. The attorney may still intend the reasoning for this recommendation to remain confidential, even if some information contained in the communication is not meant to be confidential. More obviously, an instruction from the attorney to Relator to relay information to a third party that also works for the city may be completely protected by the privilege. In this case, the communication may still be confidential as the third party is also part of the client. Finally, some planning for the implementation of an EEO/AA plan may be considered business-related, rather than legal advice, such as discussions about the size of the budget required to implement a plan. However, discussions about implementation that involve legal compliance are likely privileged.

Comments about Nokia - 2600 Cell Phone:
I love my Nokia 2600 cell phone. I am a basic cell phone user. I mostly make calls from my cell phone (which is my only phone), but receive and send text messages occasionally. The Nokia 2600 is easy to use and a great size. The keyboard is large enough for easy use, but the phone is small and lightweight. The keyboard locks easily, so no random dialing in my purse or pocket. The Nokia 2600 charges quickly and the charge lasts a long time. I would highly recommend the Nokia 2600 to others.
Comments about Nokia - 2600 Cell Phone:
We got this as an inexpensive replacement phone when our previous LG flip-phone quit working. The price was right, and it does what we need it to, but it's not the best design. The buttons are VERY small. Some are toggle-type and it is easy to hit the wrong thing. I try to hang up, and it sometimes goes to speakerphone instead! You have to dial using the very tips of your fingers, otherwise there is a chance that you will hit the wrong button. This makes texting difficult. We don't text very often, but I think I would be more frustrated with the phone if we did. Like the other reviewer said, there is a big delay when you push the button to get to the main menu. Pulling up the contacts list is relatively quick, but everything else seems to take some time, which takes some getting used to! The camera feature is nice to have... I like to be able to take cute photos of the kids when I didn't bring along the camera. It also has a voice recorder with which we created our own ringtone, that was kind of fun. So, an okay phone, but I wouldn't choose it again.
Comments about Nokia - 2600 Cell Phone:
The Nokia-2600 is an OK phone. I would not recommend it to a young person that likes to text or have all the new features. It is very slow, you push the menu button, count to 3 and it finally comes up! The volume while talking on the phone is very low, I have to press the phone against my hear to try to hear sometimes. The picture quality is pretty good and I LOVE the size. I think it is a good phone for a young person who is only supposed to use the phone on occasion or an older person that doesn't do anything but make calls.

Crabs and other crustaceans in the ocean could be the first to suffocate in the increasing number of marine "dead zones" in the world, areas where there is little or no oxygen. What's more, the extent of oxygen deprivation in the oceans could be much larger than previously thought.
The researchers searched through hundreds of other previously published studies of two hundred different species to investigate exactly what the threshold level of oxygen is for life in the oceans to be sustained.
A study published earlier this year in the journal Science revealed that there has been an exponential increase since the 1960s in the number of "dead zones" in the world, which currently cover around 245,000 square kilometres.

Very nice rooms and great locationPosted Nov 17, 2016
Pros: Extremely clean, very polite and helpful staff, and elegant but not extravagant rooms make this a perfect place to stay.
Cons: Have free wifi, get rid of the mini-bar and snack stand, and put in a small microwave.
Location: A ton of Seattle tourist sites by foot or by convenient bus ride.
The hotel is in a very good location with nicely sized rooms and everything in great condition. Power outlet pod on desk was great (I usually bring a multi-outlet cord, but not this time) and a couple of USB ports on the bed stand clock. Nice view of the Seattle library from my windows. Like having the mini-fridge in the room, but didn't care for it being stocked with the liquor, wine and water, just takes up room I could use. Would rather have a small microwave to re-heat last night's leftovers! And the snack stand attached to the wall next to the bathroom could be gotten rid of. Just silly, and something jutting out to walk into in the night, Oh, well. Didn't realize it until I was checking out but they had a couple bikes available for guest use. Great amenity. Would be nice to have free wifi without signing up for memberships. It is 2016. Overall, an excellent place.

DisappointedPosted Sep 21, 2016
Pros: Nothing.
Cons: Noise insulation from elevator, expanding lobby, flexibility towards customers.
Entry to the hotel via garage ramp and extremely small reception. Room next to elevator over looking more parking while I listened to people talking in the hall way while waiting elevator.

Conference Scene: A symphony on C: Orchestrating DNA repair for gene expression via cytosine modification
Rots M.G.,University of Groningen |
Petersen-Mahrt S.K.,DNA Editing in Immunity and Epigenetics
Epigenomics | Year: 2013
Headline-grabbing attention has been given to DNA demethylation pathways as new epigenetic mechanisms, with reviews and hypotheses outnumbering research papers. As candidate proteins for DNA demethylation include well-known DNA repair enzymes, it was timely to join epigenetics and DNA repair experts at the first international meeting on DNA Demethylation, Repair and Beyond. New mechanistic insights were presented for known players orchestrating the symphony on cytosine - 'the symphony on C' (TET1, 2, 3; GADD45; AID; and TDG), while new instruments and classical themes were pulled into the amalgamation. What may appear as just an unintentional cacophony of random oxidative lesions and abasic sites in a bed of chromatin noise may turn out to be a gene-expressing regulatory melody. © 2013 Future Medicine Ltd.

Seminars in Immunology | Year: 2012
Activation induced deaminase (AID) has evolved with the immune system to enhance the ability of antibodies to bind and eliminate pathogens. It is a member of the AID/APOBEC family of proteins, which deaminate cytosine (or 5-methyl cytosine) in DNA leading to uracil (thymidine). These base modifications can lead to repair, DNA demethylation, mutagenesis, recombination, or viral/foreign DNA elimination. Because of their physiological function, their ubiquitous expression, and hormonal regulation (e.g. estrogen), these proteins play an important role in oncogenesis, with AID being directly implicated in B cell lymphomas. The targeting preference of each DNA deaminase provides a means to identify their mutation foot-print in tumours, and have implicated them in mutating the genome, including the loci of tumour suppressors, of various cancers (e.g. breast). In this special issue devoted to understanding AID function and regulation, leading members of the field discuss all aspects from AID transcriptional regulation, mRNA turnover, protein expression, modification, and transport, to complex formation, targeting and enzymatic turnover. AID's function will be discussed in context of DNA repair and how changes of key components of each pathway have an influence on the overall efficacy of targeted DNA deamination. © 2012 Elsevier Ltd.

PLoS ONE | Year: 2012
Activation induced deaminase (AID) deaminates cytosine to uracil, which is required for a functional humoral immune system. Previous work demonstrated, that AID also deaminates 5-methylcytosine (5 mC). Recently, a novel vertebrate modification (5-hydroxymethylcytosine - 5 hmC) has been implicated in functioning in epigenetic reprogramming, yet no molecular pathway explaining the removal of 5 hmC has been identified. AID has been suggested to deaminate 5 hmC, with the 5 hmU product being repaired by base excision repair pathways back to cytosine. Here we demonstrate that AID's enzymatic activity is inversely proportional to the electron cloud size of C5-cytosine - H > F > methyl >> hydroxymethyl. This makes AID an unlikely candidate to be part of 5 hmC removal. © 2012 Rangam et al. Source

Annual Review of Genetics | Year: 2012
Demethylation of 5-methylcytosine in DNA is integral to the maintenance of an intact epigenome. The balance between the presence or absence of 5-methylcytosine determines many physiological aspects of cell metabolism, with a turnover that can be measured in minutes to years. Biochemically, addition of the methyl group is shared among all living kingdoms and has been well characterized, whereas the removal or reversion of this mark seems diverse and much less understood. Here, we present a summary of how DNA demethylation can be initiated directly, utilizing the ten-eleven translocation (TET) family of proteins, activation-induced deaminase (AID), or other DNA modifying enzymes, or indirectly, via transcription, RNA metabolism, or DNA repair; how intermediates in those pathways are substrates of the DNA repair machinery; and how demethylation pathways are linked and possibly balanced, avoiding mutations. © 2012 by Annual Reviews.

Autoimmunity | Year: 2013
The human immune system is a complex dynamic network of soluble factors and specialized cells that can and need to act in an instance or keep a lifelong protection, with the consequence that health has to be maintained through genetic and environmental stimuli. Autoimmunity is a multifactorial disease, where this combination of genetic predisposition and environmental factors lead to disease etiology. As some autoimmune diseases, such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), rheumatoid arthritis (RA) or other B cell autoimmunities have a very strong female gender bias, hormones, especially estrogen, have been implicated as environmental factors in driving the disease. One of the key regulators of B cell development is activation-induced deaminase (AID), as its molecular mechanism of cytosine deamination induces immunoglobulin affinity maturation and antibody class switching. In this review we will highlight some of the recent findings of how estrogen directly and indirectly activates AID expression, which in turn can lead to immune hyper-stimulation. Those regulatory pathways can be direct when the estrogen receptor (ER) binds the AID promoter, or indirect via activation of transcription factors that enhance AID expression (e.g., HoxC4). Estrogen's influence on AID will also be discussed in terms of microRNA processing for miRNA-155 and miRNA-181b. Important other external stimuli, such as EBV virus, in conjunction with estrogen can add another layer of regulation during autoimmune disease progression. Understanding these pathways will become more important as AID has now been implicated to play an important role in immune tolerance and actual elimination of autoantibodies. © Informa UK, Ltd.

Diner Rating and ReviewsBack to detail
Based on 34 reviews
The consistency and level of standardization across outlets rivals that of a factory. This is an all-you-can-eat concept and it is recommended that you starve yourself for a few hours before you visit The Great Kabab Factory to do it justice. There is a fixed charge per person, regardless of whether you choose the vegetarian menu or the non vegetarian one. You are then served six types of kebabs, as many times as you may wish. The kababs are succulent with the Galouti Kabab being the show stealer and are served with an array of chutneys. If you are still hungry, there are curries, breads, accompaniments (including an excellent Dal Makhani) and a Biryani that follow. It may be a tall order but do try to save some appetite for the desserts. The standalone outlets are marginally cheaper than the ones located inside hotels.
Good service but not tasty food..
No longer the exquisite dining pleasure it used to be..
Bety bad service food was cold.
Pathetic is the word . Why is this place still active on earth . Horrible experience , we were 6 people who were enjoying our holi break and because of this place the holiday ended on a bad note . I havnt eaten such pathetic food anywhere on earth . Dal makhni was i think cooked 3 weeks back which they were still serving . It was burned . The snacks were bad , the paneer had bad taste and smell . If you want to fall sick this is the place to dine . We did not had main course and complained the manager about , he was ok with the fact that we were not leaving.
Good like the menu , better then other kabab factory.
It was a pleasant experience in terms of service and quality of food. Veg kebabs needs some improvement in taste, otherwise non veg kebabs were awesome..
Food consistent as always. Mall was closed so the approach is a bit deserted at night and service for the drinks was explicably slow. How long does it take to bring out a beer and cocktail when there's only one other table occupied in the restaurant? Paan and rose ice creams are surprisingly good flavours..
Good. Good ambience. Good staff. Value for money..
Great was very good food was good and its value for money.
Awesome non veg buffet ....they should add more items in veg.
Amazing food. Have been here quite much and it is very nice.
good food. the service can be improved. drinks are good. fairly priced..
Good and satisfactory thank you very much I enjoyed ..
Good place with good ambience . Had a good time over lunch..
Loved the food and the overall feel . The service was a bit slow though.
The Starters are amazing ! its reasonably priced too ! 999 for dinner buffet ! They will serve you all the starters mentioned ... ( 4 nonveg and 4 veg, depending on what you choose) and it will be served HOT ! no stale food ! The main course too was delicious!.
excellent place to dine. lavish buffet. dine like a king.
Amazing kababs and very good service and great place.
You can't miss the Kebabs with Ulte Tawe Ke Paranthe. Mouth watering delicacy. :-) If possible, plan for a weekday lunch / dinner. They have great deals on drinks too and the place is quieter. Must try - Rose Ice-cream and Pan ice-cream.


text: 819 FXUS65 KGJT 092230 AFDGJT Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Grand Junction CO 330 PM MST Fri Dec 9 2016 .SHORT TERM...(Tonight through Saturday night) Issued at 330 PM MST Fri Dec 9 2016 Afternoon instability is adding a last punch to the orographic snowfall over the mountains near I-70 up past the Wyoming border. A repositioning of the jet stream northward will the snow to end from south to north tonight...but not totally relenting over portions of the Park Range. Current warning running through sunset after which the convective component should wane and snow rates lessen. Generally 8 to 16 inches have fallen at many of the snotel sites with the northern mountains the biggest winner so far. A short break is anticipated late this evening through near the noon time hour tomorrow when the next storm system begins to affect the region. No big surprise that the northern and central mountains remain under the gun in this pattern but the southern mountains will get some new powder by sunrise on Sunday. Derived satellite imagery is showing a strong Pacific moisture plume north of the Hawaiian Islands being drawn to the PacNW on a strong upper jet. This jet will be strengthening across the northern Great Basin tomorrow as cold high latitude air descends into the northern Rockies and tightens the thermal gradient aloft. The increasing westerly flow will advect moisture substantial moisture to our doorstep by noon tomorrow with PWAT pushing toward climatological max numbers for early December. This forecast would be much easier if we were just dealing with a cold air mass. However the strong influx of moisture is coming with warmer air and mixing is very possible into the valleys bring liquid precipitation into the mix. Confidence extremely shaky in the 6000 to 8000 feet level where accumulating snow forecast will highly depend on the snow levels and possibly underlying cold air. This includes the upper Yampa and Eagle Valleys...the Gunnison Basin and possibly the Uinta Basin. Confidence much higher over the 9000 feet where the moisture will be lifted by the hills and upper dynamics centered over the northern and central mountains early in the storm with instability coming into the mix over all of western Colorado early Sunday morning. In the lower elevations of eastern Utah and far western Colorado an inch or maybe two is possible including the southern San Juan Valleys. This should be another good snow producer for the northern and central mountains which is similar to the seasonal outlook. There is some better news for the south later in the forecast. Temperatures are another tricky part of the equation. The Gunnison Basin seems to have some deeper air entrenched and this is huge for the snow forecast. Guidance and models want to mix it out into the upper 30s tomorrow...and not buying attm and went below guidance. The same is true for the upper Yampa and Eagle Valleys. Milder temperatures will be found in the desert valleys tomorrow afternoon. Colder air arrives early Sunday morning in the north and this will help boost snow ratios and hence the better snow totals in the north. .LONG TERM...(Sunday through Friday) Issued at 330 PM MST Fri Dec 9 2016 So snow continues Sunday morning over much of the region being enhanced by instability and ascent related to digging upper jet aloft. As the day goes on this jet will be dropping into the southern reaches of our area and flushing the moisture to the south as well. Much of the precipitation that is left by the afternoon with will be orographically forced snow showers in northwest flow favoring the northern Colorado mountains. The jet will actually begin to lift northward by Sunday evening and keep a threat of high country snow going over the Park and Northern Gore Ranges. In fact this threat of snow will likely continue well into the mid week period for the northern mountains and extending into the I-70 corridor at times as well. Unfortunately the models are breaking down in consistency as early as Tuesday in the east Pacific which will have a direct impact on our forecast. The GFS wants to tear the energy out of the Pacific early and bring a pickup in moisture and precipitation Tuesday night into Wednesday while the EURO holds this back until late in the week.

The Aces put runners on base in every inning, yet the base runners failed to materialize on the scoreboard until the ninth, when Drew Macias knocked home Brandon Allen with a two-out single. That would be all the Reno offense would muster, though.
The Aces have now fallen in three-straight games overall and six-straight times to the River Cats.
Torra (3-5) worked 5.1 innings, allowing three runs on eight hits in the losing effort. He walked one and struck out three. Out of the Aces bullpen, Jason Urquidez surrendered a run in two innings of work, and Jose Marte worked a scoreless two-thirds.
The win went to Sacramento reliever Michael Benacka (2-2), who pitched 1.2 scoreless frames after spelling starter and former Aces pitcher Travis Blackley.
Ed Rogers, Allen and Mark Hallberg each collected two hits on the evening for Reno.
The Aces and River Cats will hit the third leg of this four-game set on Wednesday night. RHP Wes Roemer (1-2, 4.75 ERA) gets the nod for Reno. The River Cats will turn to RHP Kyle Middleton (2-5, 3.38 ERA). First pitch from Raley Field is set for 7:05 p.m. PT.
The Aces return home on June 22 for a four-game set with the Colorado Springs Sky Sox. Tickets for all Aces games start at just $7, and are available by calling the Reno Aces box office at (775) 334-7000 or by visiting RenoAces.com. The brand-new Freight House District, located just outside Aces Ballpark, is open seven days a week, on both game days and non-game days.

LAKE SHORE NATIONAL BANK AND MELVIN R. LUSTER, AS EXECUTORS OF THE LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT OF ARTHUR M. LUSTER, DECEASED, PLAINTIFFS-APPELLANTSv.E. C. COYLE, JR., DISTRICT DIRECTOR OF INTERNAL REVENUE, DEFENDANT-APPELLEE
Swygert and Fairchild, Circuit Judges, and Eschbach, District Judge.*fn1
SWYGERT, Circuit Judge.
This appeal concerns a suit for refund of alleged overpayments of estate taxes instituted by plaintiffs, Lake Shore National Bank and Melvin R. Luster, as executors of the estate of Arthur M. Luster, deceased. The district court was presented with two issues on cross-motions for summary judgment. They were: (1) whether the estate was entitled to a marital deduction in the amount of $200,000; and (2) whether the estate was entitled to recover $7,105.61 as an alleged overpayment of interest. The court held for the estate on the first issue and the District Director has not appealed that determination. On the second issue the court held for the District Director and the estate appeals.*fn2
The facts are undisputed. Arthur Luster died on August 13, 1960. On November 13, 1961 the estate filed a preliminary estate tax notice along with a remittance of $54,600 and an election to pay a portion of the estate tax in installments as provided in section 6166 of the Internal Revenue Code.*fn3 In April 1962 an estate tax return was filed showing a net taxable estate of $581,600.48 and a tax thereon of $158,596.16. Of the amount owed in taxes, $132,427.79 or 83.5 percent of the estate qualified for installment treatment. A ten-year installment schedule was established providing for payments of $13,242.78 plus interest at a rate of four percent calculated on the balance of tax outstanding due November 13 of each year beginning in 1961.
The $54,600 previously deposited was applied to the estate's tax liability as follows: $26,168.38 constituted full payment of that portion of the tax which was not deferrable; $13,242.78 paid the first installment due November 13, 1961; and the remaining $15,188.86 was applied to the second installment due November 13, 1962. The District Director maintains that $17,402.63 ($13,242.78 plus $4,159.85 which constituted interest at four percent on $103,829.65, the balance then outstanding) was due on that date. The estate does not question this calculation. No additional payment was made in 1962 and under the District Director's theory the estate was in default on November 13, 1962.
No payments were made during 1963 and 1964 thus producing a default on the installments for those years. On July 16, 1965 the estate made a payment of $50,427.94, an amount sufficient to pay the overdue installments and the interest due thereon. Two weeks later the District Director served notice and demand upon the estate for full payment of the balance of the tax owed. On October 28, 1965 the estate paid $53,568.21, the balance of tax then owing. On the same day the estate made a payment of interest on the tax, computed at a six percent rate, in the amount of $21,316.83.
The estate argues that it is entitled to a refund of $7,105.61, exactly onethird of the amount in interest actually paid. The estate's position is based upon two contentions either of which, if correct, will entitle it to a refund.
I. The Interpretation of Section 6601
The estate contends that section 6601 of the Internal Revenue Code*fn4 does not provide for interest at a rate of six percent under any circumstances if an extension of time for payment of estate taxes has been granted under section 6166. Sole reliance is placed upon the language of subsection (b) of section 6601 which provides that when time for payment is extended under section 6166, interest on the balance shall be paid at four percent rather than the six percent rate generally applicable under subsection (a) of the same section.
This argument is in error. Congress intended the general provisions of subsection (a) to apply to overdue installments permitted under section 6166. The operation of subsection (b) was explained by Congress as follows:
Rate of Interest. -- Subsection (e) of this section of the bill amends subsection (b) of section 6601 of the 1954 Code, relating to interest on extension of time to pay estate tax, to provide that interest shall be payable on any amount of estate tax, including a deficiency, which comes within the scope of section 6166, at the rate of 4 percent per annum instead of the normal rate of 6 percent per annum which is provided by subsection (a) of section 6601. However, if any amount of such tax is not paid on or before the expiration of the period of extension applicable thereto, the 6 percent rate will apply from the date of such expiration to the date the tax is paid. H.R.Rep.No. 2198, 85th Cong., 2d Sess. 20-21; 1959-2 Cum.Bull. 709, 723.
A careful reading of section 6601 demonstrates that Congress has carried out this intent. Subsection (b) provides that the four percent rate will be charged only if the taxpayer has been granted an extension of time under sections 6166 or 6161(a) (2).*fn5 Section 6161(a) (2) is designed to give additional extensions for individual installments to taxpayers already benefiting from the provisions of section 6166. The inclusion of reference to section 6161 (a) (2) means that failure to obtain a further extension under that section will bring the penalty rate of six percent into play on the overdue installment. Any other interpretation would make the reference to section 6161(a) (2) in section 6601(b) superfluous. Thus interest at a rate of six percent on the amount of an overdue installment will be charged according to section 6601(c) (4) from "the date the liability for tax arises," i. e., the date for payment of the installment under section 6166(e). This reading of section 6601 is strongly supported by the treasury regulation interpreting that section.*fn6
II. The Interpretation of Section 6166(h)
The District Director argues that section 6166(h) (3)*fn7 provides for automatic acceleration, thus making the entire balance due if the taxpayer is in default on one installment. If the District Director is correct then interest at a rate of six percent calculated from November 13, 1962 is due on the entire balance of tax owed, since, according to section 6601 (c) (4), tax liability for the entire balance arose on that date. The estate maintains that the District Director's position misinterprets section 6166(h) (3) and that service of notice and demand for payment upon the taxpayer is a precondition for acceleration. Since it paid an amount sufficient to cover past installments before notice and demand was received, the estate argues that the default was cured. If we accept this argument then the estate is entitled to a refund. However, since the estate is liable for interest on overdue installments at a rate of six percent, the refund to which the estate would be entitled is somewhat less than $7,105.63.
The District Director relies primarily upon the treasury regulation interpreting section 6166(h) (3). That regulation provides:
(c) Failure to pay installment on or before the due date. If any installment or tax is not paid on or before the date fixed for its payment (including any extension of time for the payment thereof), the whole of the unpaid portion of the tax which is payable in installments becomes due and shall be paid upon notice and demand from the district director. Treas.Reg. § 20.6166-3(c) (1960).
By the inclusion of the words "become due" the regulation makes clear that the liability of the taxpayer to pay the entire balance of tax owed occurs upon the failure to make timely payments on a single installment.
The estate argues that a regulation is void if it is inconsistent with the statute. The rule governing the effect to be given to treasury regulations was stated by the Supreme Court in Koshland v. Helvering, 298 U.S. 441, 446-447, 56 S. Ct. 767, 80 L. Ed. 1268 (1935), as follows:
Where the act uses ambiguous terms, or is of doubtful construction, a clarifying regulation or one indicating the method of its application to specific cases not only is permissible but is to be given great weight by the courts. * * * But where, as in this case, the provisions of the act are unambiguous, and its directions specific, there is no power to amend it by regulation.
We think the statute in the instant case is clear and, therefore, we decline to follow the treasury regulation.
When interpreted in light of the remainder of subsection (h), it is clear that Congress did not intend subsection (h) (3) to provide for automatic acceleration. We are particularly persuaded by subsection (h) (1),*fn8 which provides for automatic acceleration in the event that fifty percent of the assets of a closely held business are withdrawn or sold. In that subsection Congress made clear its intent to provide automatic acceleration by the use of the words "extension of time for payment of tax provided in this section shall cease to apply." Since both subsections were enacted as part of the Small Business Tax Revision Act in 1958, the failure of Congress to provide expressly for automatic acceleration in subsection (h) (3) demonstrates that Congress intended notice and demand to be a precondition for acceleration.
The provision for automatic acceleration in subsection (h) (1) and not in subsection (h) (3) fully comports with Congressional intent in the enactment of section 6166. Section 6166 was enacted to relieve estates which consist largely of interests in a closely held business from the immediate imposition of estate taxes and thereby to avoid the necessity of a partial or complete sale of a small business. In subsection (h) (1) Congress undoubtedly reasoned that if an estate were financially able to withdraw or sell fifty percent of the assets of a closely held corporation, then the policy underlying section 6166 was no longer applicable and automatic acceleration was appropriate. In contrast, the generous motives which prompted Congress to grant relief under section 6166 would be frustrated if subsection (h) (3) were interpreted to provide for automatic acceleration. Since estates which are late on installment payments are often those most in need of the relief granted under section 6166, Congress intended to give some flexibility to the District Director in handling late installments. The District Director's interpretation of section 6166 would require extinguishment of the right to pay in installments even if an estate inadvertently failed to pay an installment on time. We think Congress intended to avoid this harsh result by providing that acceleration under subsection (h) (3) would only occur if the District Director serves notice and demand for payment on the taxpayer.
This judgment is reversed and remanded to the district court to determine the amount of refund to which the estate is entitled.

Having tested my mitochondrial DNA (on FTDNA) to expand my mother's lines, I am in the process of doing a RootsMagic database to track those families and add evidence. As soon as my DNA results were posted in early 2014 I began occasionally to get contacted by people who match me. One of the very first pointed me at Eunice Phelps and her ancestors, including a url for a family website that I believe took her line back to a Prentice woman. Unfortunately that site is no longer available and the Wayback Machine doens't have the pages I want to look at again. Just this past October I received another email from a match and this kind woman reported that she traced my line back 6 additional generations, 5 in Connecticut (which also includes a Prentice) and the last in Buckinghamshire, England in 1603. I haven't confirmed any of this yet but am on the trail.
Starting with my mother's mother, Bricena Snow Denman, I have only had about 3 or maybe 4 generations of women before her in my tree (and I don't have most of the evidence for any of these).
Bricena's mother was Mary Malvina Sweet, born in 1852 or maybe 1853 (her children reported two different birth years as I posted earlier.). While I have an exact date I have no solid evidence, e.g., from a registration of her birth or a family Bible. Mary and Clemon Snow married in May 1880, in Lorain County, Ohio. They had only two children surviving (given amount of time between there may have been others who did not survive although this wasn't passed along in family lore). My grandmother was the only female so the only one passing mitochondrial DNA on.
Mary Sweet's mother was Brisena (or Bricena) Chadwick who was born in 1814 in Lee, Massachusetts and married Colvin Sweet in 1835 in Cuyahoga County, Ohio. As a child one of my favorite family stories was that my grandmother was named after her grandmother who had been a twin (girls named Bricena and Chrisena). That looks like a family myth since I (so far) find no evidence that there was twin (based on the Lee Vital Records to 1850 on the americanancestors.org site. So much for stories. Bricena and Colvin Sweet had somewhere around 10 children including 3 girls. The first Mary died within a month of her birth. The second, Bricena E. Sweet (known as Aunt Britie) never married (and had no children as far as I know). and the second Mary was my great grandmother. So she was (at least so far) the only one to pass on mitochondrial DNA.
Bricena Chadwick's mother was Eunice Phelps, born in 1785 in Hebron, Connecticut one week after Hebron's county changed from Windham county to Tolland county. In 1805 she married Hemen (or Herman) Chadwick in Lee, Massachusetts and they had 5 children, only one a girl (Bricena). Hemen Chadwick died young, in 1815 leaving Bricena a 30 year old widow. If she had married again and had more children there would be other possibilities, however, I believe that she did not remarry until 1827 (when she was 41) and did not have more children. So again, my great-great grandmother was the only female in her line passing along mitochondrial DNA.
This is the point at which my own research stopped until very recently. I think Eunice's mother was a Lucy Lord, born 1748, and married to Solomon Phelps, Jr. born 1743, both in Connecticut. I am only beginning to research from here, so will just list the names I have been given by my recent match in October. What she found, and I think is at least close to the earlier tree that isn't online anymore, are these women:
Lucy Lord 1748 in Colchester
Lucy Bulkeley 1720 in Colchester
Patience Prentice 1680 New London
Sarah Jones 1654 Boston
Ann Griggs 1632 New London
Alice Sibtharp 1603 Buckinghamshire, England
So I have a "map" of sorts to guide me. I am particularly interested in finding the families that had more than one female living to adulthood and having children of her own, since these could be my mitochondrial matches which don't look at all familiar in family tree surnames at first glance.
