Cell Reproduction: Mitosis & Meiosis
Chapter 8
(and the beginning of Chapter 10)
Occurs during interphase of cell cycle
1 DNA molecule untwisted
Each parent strand serves as template for new strand
= 2 new DNA molecules,
each ½ old & ½ new
= semi-conservative replication
Enzymes break H bonds between 2 strands
= unwinds & exposes nucleotide bases
Free nucleotides pair with exposed bases
Each parent strand has new one made on it
= twist together to form double helix
Sugar-phosphate backbones of 2 DNA strands run in opposite directions
5' end
= Phosphate group on sugar's C
3' end
= –OH group on sugar's C
DNA polymerase adds nucleotides to 3' ends only
Daughter strand grows in 5' to 3' direction
= 1 daughter strand synthesized continuously
= Other daughter strand synthesized disjointedly
Catalyze breaking of H bonds so double helix can unwind
Work with small proteins to prevent rewinding of parent strands
Catalyze addition of free nucleotides to exposed bases on each strand
Also have proofreading abilities
Work on discontinuously-assembled strand
Seal together short stretches of new nucleotides
Only part of DNA strand unwound
RNA polymerase adds nucleotides to growing strand
Results in 1 free mRNA strand
DNA replication
Whole DNA molecule unwound
DNA polymerase adds nucleotides to growing strand
Results in 2 double-helix DNA molecules
Mistakes occur that can be lethal if not caught
e.g. wrong base-pairing
DNA proofreading mechanisms fix most replication errors & breaks in strands
(proofread & correct mismatches)
Repair enzymes repair some changes by snipping out damaged sites or mismatches
If mismatch can't be fixed, replication is stopped
Parents reproduce to produce new generation of cells or multicellular organism
Offspring inherits all information & metabolic machinery from parent
Prokaryotic cells reproduce asexually
= binary fission
DNA in eukaryotic cells is in nucleus
Eukaryotic cells can't divide by fission
Must copy & package DNA into > 1 nucleus before cytoplasm can split
One part of the cell cycle
Growth, cell replacement, tissue repair
Also used for asexual reproduction
= organisms clone selves
Unique to eukaryotes
The period from one cell division to next
90% of cell cycle length
Cell growth
# of cytoplasmic components doubled
DNA duplicated
Chromosome & copy = sister chromatids
Joined at centromere
Makes proteins necessary for cell division
Cell prepares to divide
Cells stay in G1 if making macromolecules
Enter S when DNA & accessory proteins are copied
Rate of DNA replication is same for all cells of a species
Same cycle length for same type of cells
Different cycle lengths for different types of cells
e.g. cells in red bone marrow divide every second
e.g. nerve cells stay in G1 indefinitely
Rate of cell division is under control
(checkpoints, molecular brakes, etc.)
After G2, cell enters mitosis
Mitosis maintains cell's chromosome #
Humans have 46 chromosomes
= diploid (2n)
2 of each type of chromosome
= one set from mother, one from father
During mitosis:
Each 2n parent cell produces two 2n daughter cells
Each daughter cell has each pair of chromosomes
= 23 pairs
During mitosis, 2 sister chromatids (duplicated chromosomes) separate
Each becomes independent chromosome that ends up in 1 of daughter cells
Present in every cell
Made of microtubules
= change length by addition or removal of tubulin subunits
Originates from pair of centrioles
Early in cell division, duplicated chromosome is condensed = coils up
DNA winds twice around histones
= nucleosome
Keeps chromosomes organized during nuclear division
Outside of nucleus, 2 centrioles duplicate selves
Inside nucleus:
Chromosomes begin to condense
Outside nucleus:
Spindle begins to form
Nuclear envelope begins to fall apart
Nuclear envelope completely falls apart
Spindle fibres from each pole attach to sister chromatids of each chromosome
Chromosomes line up halfway between spindle poles
Sister chromatids of each chromosome separate & move to opposite poles
(motor proteins attached to kinetochores drag chromatids along microtubules)
Spindle poles pushed apart by growing microtubules
1 of each type of chromosome reaches each spindle pole
= 2 identical groups of chromosomes at each cell pole
Chromosomes decondense
Nuclear envelope forms around each cluster of chromosomes
= two nuclei, each with 2n # of chromosomes
Cytoplasm of cell divides
Results in 2 daughter cells, each with same number of chromosomes as parent cell
Contractile ring mechanism
Halfway between cell's poles, plasma membrane constricts = cleavage furrow
(ATP energy causes contraction of actin filaments)
Cleavage furrow deepens until cytoplasm split into 2
Cell plate formation
Golgi vesicles move to cell equator & fuse
Vesicle membranes become cell membranes
Contents become cellulose cell wall
Nuclear & cellular division that maintains chromosome #
Used for growth, repair, asexual reproduction
Cell division & DNA replication regulated so that:
DNA only replicated once before cell division
Cells that never divide do not replicate DNA
Cells don't try to replicate DNA if lack the energy & raw materials to complete process
Anchorage dependence
Animal cells must be in contact with a solid surface to divide
Density-dependent inhibition
Crowded cells stop dividing
Growth factors
Required to start & continue dividing
Secreted by other cells
Cell cycle has checkpoints:
Rely on internal & external cues
G1 checkpoint is most important:
If no go-ahead signal, cell will switch to non-dividing G0 phase
e.g. nerve & muscle cells remain in G0 indefinitely
Don't exhibit density-dependence
Have defective control systems
Ignore / over-ride checkpoints
Some synthesize own growth factors so continue dividing
Divide indefinitely
Internal & external coverings of body e.g. skin
Supportive tissues e.g. bone & muscle
Leukemias & Lymphomas
Blood-forming tissues e.g. bone marrow, spleen, lymph nodes
If not severe:
Surgical removal of tumor
Radiation therapy
(damages DNA of cancer cells to greater degree than normal cells)
If severe:
Uses drugs to disrupt cell division
e.g. Paclitaxel freezes the mitotic spindle at metaphase
e.g. Vinblastin prevents spindle formation
Also affects rapidly-dividing normal cells e.g. intestinal lining, immune cells, hair follicle cells
Donor cells from 1 animal starved so enter non-dividing G0 phase
Nucleus removed from unfertilized egg cell of another animal
Donor cell & egg cell placed next to each other in culture dish & electrically stimulated
Cells fuse & enter mitosis
Cell continues mitotic divisions & forms embryo
Embryo implanted into surrogate mother
(same spp. as egg cell)
Surrogate mother gives birth to genetic twin of "donor cell" animal
= asexual reproduction
= sexual reproduction
Asexual reproduction:
Individual makes multiple offspring with identical DNA
Sexual reproduction:
Allows for variety in heritable traits
Adaptive in changing environments
Meiosis → formation of gametes → fertilization
Double-stranded DNA & associated proteins
Chromosomes duplicated during interphase
Sister chromatids
Almost every cell in body has 2 complete sets of chromosomes
One set from mother, one from father
2 sets = diploid (2n)
Each cell has 2 versions of each gene
Homologous chromosomes
Pair of chromosomes that carry genes for same heritable traits
Except sex chromosomes (X or Y)
Sequences of chromosomal DNA
Contain heritable information to make new individuals
Individuals have pairs of genes on pairs of chromosomes
Each member of pair of gene = allele
One of the variant forms of a gene at a particular (locus) location on a chromosome
Different alleles produce variation in inherited characteristics (e.g. hair & eye colour, etc.)
Basis for evolution: endless combinations of alleles lead to variations in traits
Nuclear division that halves chromosome #
Occurs only in sex (reproductive) cells
1st step in formation of gametes ( or )
Gametes fuse with opposite sex gametes to form new individual
Humans are diploid (2n) with 46 chromosomes
(23 + 23 homologous chromosomes)
Meiosis halves chromosome number so daughter cells (gametes) are haploid (n) with 23 chromosomes
Have only 1 set of chromosomes
= haploid(n)
Each gamete has 1 allele for each gene
In humans = eggs or sperm
During meiosis, one cell goes through 2 divisions to end with formation of 4 cells, all with haploid (n) nuclei
Same as in mitosis:
Cell grows & duplicates cytoplasmic components
DNA is replicated
Chromosomes condense
Crossing-over occurs between homologous chromosomes
Centrioles move to opposite sides of nuclear envelope
Nuclear envelope begins to fall apart
When chromosomes condense during prophase, homologous chromosomes stick very closely together & form a tetrad
Maternal & paternal chromosomes swap genes
= exchange segments of genetic info
Homologous chromosomes become mixture of maternal & paternal info
Homologues of chromosomes tethered by microtubules at opposite spindle poles
Chromosomes line up along equator of cell
Chromosomes pulled apart & move towards respective poles
Poles move further apart
Cytoplasm divides
Results in 2 haploid cells
(only have 1 of each pair of homologous chromosomes)
Chromosomes still duplicated
New mitotic spindle forms in each cell
Chromatids of each chromosome become tethered to opposite poles
Chromosomes line up along equator of cell
Chromatids separate & move towards opposite poles
Spindle poles pushed apart
Nuclear envelope forms around each chromosome cluster
Cytoplasm divides
Results in 4 haploid (n) daughter cells
Chromosomes are unduplicated
Can occur via:
Exchanges of allele-containing segments occurs between non-sister chromatids (i.e. between maternal & paternal chromosomes)
Gene-swapping: different versions of heritable information are swapped
= leads to recombination of genes & variation in traits
a.k.a random assortment
Duplicated chromosomes randomly tether to spindle poles
i.e. no set rules for where maternal & paternal chromosomes should be positioned
Which half of homologous chromosome pair ends up at which pole is totally random
223 (8,388,608) possible combos of maternal & paternal chromosomes!
In animals, diploid germ cells become gametes
Gametes differ from species to species
Germ cell (spermatogonium) develops into 1° spermatocyte
Enters meiosis
Results in 4 haploid cells (spermatids) that differentiate into sperm cells
Germ cell (oogonium) develops into 1° oocyte (immature egg)
Grows in size
4 daughter cells differ in structure & function
When 1° oocyte divides after meiosis I, one daughter cell (2° oocyte) gets most of cytoplasm
Other cell (1st polar body) is very small
After meiosis II, one of 2° oocyte's daughter cells is 2nd polar body (also very small)
Other gets most of cytoplasm and develops into ovum (egg)
1st polar body's daughter cells are both polar bodies
Polar bodies eventually degenerate
Sole function: to ensure ovum is haploid
Ovum gets most of cytoplasm & metabolic machinery
Is able to support early cell divisions of new individual after fertilization
Male & female gametes unite
Haploid nuclei fuse
Restores diploid nature of cells
(n + n = 2n)
↑ variation among offspring:
Nuclear division that halves chromosome number
Results in n male & female gametes that can fuse during fertilization to produce 2n offspring
Abnormal chromosome structure:
Breakage of chromosome leads to rearrangements that affect genes on that chromosome
Abnormal chromosome number:
Chance events occur before or after cell division that result in wrong chromosome #
Can have neutral to harmful effects, depending on type of chromosomal change
4 types of rearrangement:
Broken fragment reattaches to original chromosome but in reverse direction
Genes still present in normal #, so less harmful than other categories
Fragment of chromosome is lost
Cause severe physical & mental problems
e.g. cri du chat
Fragment from one chromosome joins to a sister chromatid or homologous chromosome
Can have severe effects
Fragment of chromosome attaches to non-homologous chromosome
May or may not be harmful
If chromosomal changes occur in sperm or egg cells:
= may cause congenital disorders
If chromosomal changes occur in somatic cells:
= can lead to development of cancer
(which is why cancer is generally not heritable)
Chance events occur before or after cell division that result in wrong chromosome #
Consequences can be minor or lethal
Most changes in chromosome number occur because of non-disjunction
= 1 pair of chromosomes do not separate during mitosis or meiosis
Normal # 1 chromosome
e.g. trisomy 21 (Down Syndrome)
3n, 4n, etc.
Normal in many plants & animals
E.g. XO, XXX, XXY, XYY
Will return to this when covering inheritance

Top releases of 2014
30 déc. 2014, 14h32m par nassuttaja2It is once again time to list some stuff. It is also once again time for me to wonder why the hell I always leave making this list to the last couple of weeks before the year ends. One would think that I'd learn something from a mistake I have now made for five years in a row... oh well. I recently went through my lists from 2012 and 2013, and I am surprised by how well they still hold up in 2014 (in the lists from 2009 to 2011 things start to get a bit funky). I guess my taste hasn't changed that radically over the last three or so years in terms of disliking things I have liked in the past, but the scale of my listening habits has definitely grown in terms of new interests. As always, this year's list is very much all over the place, but that is how I like it. This is a true representation of the type of stuff that I enjoy listening to on a daily basis. None of the albums listed made it because I thought they deserved to be included, but because I wanted them to be included.

Hi folks,
The years have come and gone, and yet for some odd reason I still receive requests for my 'Best Of' journal entries in Heavy Metal, as well as several other genres. Why I still receive these requests I have no idea, but I've relented on being an e-seclusionist curmudgeon and eternally lazy long enough to post my Best in Heavy Metal of 2012 list. I hope whatever poor soul or bored last.fm troll that reads this dated meandering of metal finds something that they haven't otherwise heard or thought to listen to since '12. Unlike the previous journal entry, many if not most of the reviews here are sourced from other writers, webzines, and various publications as noted at the bottom of the review. Also, I encourage any suggestions for albums released in 2012 that I've omitted as it's painfully obvious from my list that I can't possibly listen to everything out there.

My Top 81 Albums of 2013
1 jan. 2014, 10h02m par wrathchild88Well hello there. Just to clarify what's going on here, I've listed all of the albums that I've listened to that were released this year in reverse order with some comments about the band and the album so that hopefully you'll have a good idea about what to expect from the album. Obviously I could write a lot more for each but I wouldn't be able to do that for every single album I've listen to this year, so I've put links up to youtube videos so that you can decide for yourself. Clearly there are some notable bands I've missed this year: Black Sabbath, Atlantean Kodex, Falkenbach, Revocation, Deicide, Motorhead, Hypocrisy, Satyricon, The Ruins of Beverast, Fleshgod Apocalypse to name but a few, but I think that I've got a good and wide selection of metal to recommend, or not as the case may be. There were plenty of really good albums this year and it was pretty hard to pick a favourite, but I managed it. If you just want a list of my top albums this year, scroll to the bottom. …
Best Metal releases of 2013
28 nov. 2013, 10h37m par brainsmasherfrom my blog: http://hearholeaholics.blogspot.com
Every year it gets worse and worse. I compile my list of potential candidates for my top ten metal releases of the year, then I comb through countless other "year end" lists for albums that I may have missed. This is when I am reminded most that metal media, both online and in print have been ever-spiraling further and further down the shitter for far too many years now. The reasons I feel this way are a trident of misery. 1) The albums that get the top spots are usually unimaginative, safe, derivative, and mediocre. 2) Its pretty clear that these lists should probably be retitled "albums that we generated the most ad / pr revenue from this year." 3) The people that write these lists are surely nice folks, but they just dont seem to be capable of proper exposure to be an authoritarian on this subject! We are trusting these people to tell us about the best music, so that we dont have to listen to all the bullshit releases…

Cold wreaks havoc with Wood County Schools
PARKERSBURG – Sub-zero temperatures wreaked havoc with the vehicles and facilities of the Wood County Schools, forcing the system to remain closed Wednesday.
Officials announced Tuesday Edison Middle School would be closed due to heating issues and that other schools would be placed on a two-hour delay. Shortly after the announcement officials decided to close all schools.
Mike Fling, assistant superintendent of school services for Wood County Schools, said the move became necessary after bitterly cold temperatures caused 60 percent of the school system's bus fleet to malfunction.
"Wood County Schools utilizes bio-diesel, and it is much more susceptible to temperature changes," Fling said. The bio-diesel is made from a combination of vegetable oil and diesel fuel, which burns much cleaner than regular diesel and is more environmentally friendly.
In addition to batteries drained by the extreme cold, Fling said the bio-diesel would thicken, causing the bus engines to stall.
"It doesn't freeze. It gels," Fling said. "It turns to jelly. It won't flow."
When officials were able to get the buses running, "they would run for about 15-20 minutes and then just stop," he said. "What we didn't want to have happen was a bus running its route, picking up kids and then getting stuck somewhere in negative temperatures."
At Edison, Fling said a heating unit ruptured, sending about 500 gallons of water into a hallway.
"It has a coil that heats the water, like a radiator," Fling said. "It was a major cleanup. It was so cold outside, you couldn't just open the doors and sweep the water out."
To make matters worse, when maintenance workers shut off the water to prevent more from spilling out, it cut off the water flow to several outside units.
"Once the water stopped flowing, the next four units froze up," Fling said. "They're on an outside wall and have to use outside air. We were just pulling in too much cold air."
Fling said the school system called in several outside companies to help with the repairs, but due to the age of the heating units some parts had to be special ordered. Crews were still working Wednesday afternoon to make sure heat had been restored to the entire building.
"Right now it is a patch job, and will be a bigger repair down the line," Fling said.
Edison wasn't the only school with heating issues. Fling said the extreme cold taxed heating units at Jefferson, Kanawha, Vienna and Williamstown elementary schools, as well as Williamstown High School.
"They're running, but those will be more of a long-term repair situation," he said. "We got them repaired enough to get the schools open."
Temperatures today are expected to remain below freezing, but be much more manageable than the single-digit and below-zero temperatures the area had experienced in recent days.
"We can work with that," Fling said. "We are in a much better situation with 30 degrees than we were in negative-30 windchill temperatures."
All schools were expected to be open today and all buses up and running their normal routes.
"I'm proud of our people," Fling said. "They picked it up and worked extra hard over the past couple of days. We're thankful it wasn't worse than it was."

As I have explained earlier, using XDMCP to display X across Internet is basically a no-no, due to it's lack of encryption across the Internet. One way to enforce the traffic security is to use the SSH by the way of X11 tunnelling or port forwarding. SSH (Secure Shell) is developed in 1995 by Tatu Ylonen to replace the insecure telnet, ftp, scp, rcp, rlogin, rsh, etc. The first thing you need to know is that X11 forwarding using SSH is different from your regular, non-secure way of running X Window.
To start this setup, you need an additional piece of information. First, you must have your SSH package installed. In Linux, they are the OpenSSH packages. Check your distribution to decide what package you need to install (some installed it as standard packages). Secondly, you need a Windows SSH Client (other OS version, like MAC, are also available). I recommend PuTTY. It is a wonderful free SSH client and you can download them from this link. Remember to download the document and read them carefully. The other good free SSH clients are: Tera Term Pro + TTSSH: An SSH Extension to Tera Term, SSH Secure Shell Client by SSH.com (only free for non-commercial use). I will break down again into steps, so it is easy for you to follow.
- Open up the command putty.exe by double-click it. It will brings up the interface. First, setup the connection info in Host Name (or use IP) field and select SSH (SSH is using port 22). In Connection Category, find the Connection tree. In SSH, expand it and you will see Tunnels window. Click "Enable X11 forwarding". It is setting the default to X display at "localhost:0″. Now, go back to Session and save this session with a name you like. I normally use the Host Name to make me easily remember where I am connecting to.
- In the example of Hummingbird Exceed, this is what you need to do. (For other X client, the setup is similar). Open up the Xconfig from your Exceed folder. In your "Screen Definition", change to "Multiple" Window mode and save it. Next, open up your "Communication" icon and set the Startup mode to "Passive".
- Now you are done. To test it, first using PuTTY (or other SSH client) to connect to your server. The first time connection, it will ask you whether you want to cache the Security Key or not. (Yes is normal choice). Once log in is done, fire up your Exceed. It will stay in the background. Now you can execute any of your X application and it should forward the X application via SSH to your local screen. For example:
1$ xclock &
- Ensure that xauth is in the path of the user running. Also, make sure that you have the following line in your /etc/ssh2/sshd2_config file:
1AllowX11Forwarding yes
X11 forwarding also needs to be enabled in the client by setting the following line in the ssh2_config file:1ForwardX11 yes

The Perfect Home Away From Home
Whitehaven was much more than we expected the property is in a very quite location close to local shops and outer lying areas. 2 outdoor decks to relax on & the bbq was a great bonus as were the champagne, chocolates & added pantry items - a really lovely thought for your guests. The property was extremely clean both inside & out and there was nothing that Cris & Paul hadn't thought of to make the stay a relaxing and pleasurable one. I could not recommend Whitehaven more highly we can't wait for our next stay - thank you once again Cris & Paul
Places we visited were: Peninsula Hot Springs, Quarantine Station, Cape Schank, Arthurs Seat, Sorrento, Rye & Hastings
Places we dined: Loquat - Sorrento & Peppers Moonah Golf Links - Fingal

5.0 stars 12 totalReview Adam Gomerman
Posted by Jackie A
I known Adam since 2007. He has handled many problems I encounter in my life. He is awesome. You will not only find a lawyer with him, but a caring and professional individual. He gives you his fully attention and all the time you need. He has always made me feel that my problems are important to him as they are for me. I consider him a friend and my ally, who is always on my corner. Thanks Adam!!
Posted by Mike
Adam made sure I understood what was to take place with my debts and how to handle the court appearance. The entire process went smooth, and was less hassle then I thought it would be. All was explained in detail, and any questions I had were answered promptly. I had a difficult case since my bankruptcy stemmed from a failed partnership in a business. I had some personal issues as well. Since there were many accounts listed, I thought the court would give us a hard time in clearing away the debt and granting a fresh start. Adam put together a great case, since the court appearance went so smoothly. It has been some time since my discharge, and I'm back on my feet doing very well. Hats off to Adam and his expertise in this area.

Adam handled a bankruptcy chapter 7 case for my wife and I. Adam made us feel at ease during one of the roughest times of our lives. He is very professional, trustworthy and knowledgeable. He really cares about his clients. We are now able to survive financially because of Adam's assistance. His office staff is terrific too as they are always there to answer any questions. I will recommend him to any persons that I know who need a terrific attorney. Adam, you helped make our holiday the best we have had in years. Thank-you so much for helping us to get out of our financial mess. You are the best!!! My message to all persons, If you need a terrific attorney Look no further!! Call Adam cause he is the best!!!

Mr. Gomerman is the perfect person to go to for a loan modification. He is persistent and seems to never give up. He was able to mofdify my mortgage at a great rate and knew exactly how to go about it. I have friends and family who also used Mr. Gomerman and got great results. Don't waste your time with anyone else. His fee and payment plan was very reasonable. What more can I say?

Adam is a great attorney and a great guy. He helped my family get out of our financial mess and helped turn around our life. For the first time in many years, we had a really great Christmas!

Mr. Gomerman represented me and my wife in a Chapter 13 bankruptcy to save our home. He was extremely caring, professional, and just simply cheered us up and did everything right. His fees are very reasonable and he is an all around excellent lawyer. I have recommended Mr. Gomerman to my friends and some family members also. I can't say enough good things about this fine attorney.

APPEAL from the Circuit Court of Cook County; the Hon. ARTHUR
V. ZELEZINSKI, Judge, presiding.
Defendants Leon and Lenora Conner were each charged with possession of heroin in violation of section 402 of the Illinois Controlled Substances Act (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1975, ch. 56 1/2, par. 1402). Lenora was additionally charged with several other minor offenses not relevant on appeal. At the preliminary hearing, defendants made a single motion to suppress the evidence. The motion was granted because in executing the search warrant, the police officers failed to knock on any door or announce their presence and purpose.
The State now appeals from the ruling pursuant to Supreme Court Rule 604(a). On appeal, the State argues that the probability of heroin on the premises, coupled with the surrounding circumstances, created an exigency that obviated the requirement that the police officers announce their presence and purpose.
We affirm.
The facts are not disputed. On August 11, 1976, Officer Ernest Cain secured a search warrant commanding the search of Lenora Conner, also known as "Mama Conner," and the premises at 3648 South Martin Luther King Drive, Chicago, Illinois. To be seized were a quantity of heroin and narcotic paraphernalia.
Probable cause for the issuance of the warrant was based on information given by a reliable informant who purportedly observed a quantity of heroin on the premises and purchased a portion of it from Lenora Conner. The informant further stated that the heroin was stored in a washroom on the first floor.
At the hearing on the motion to suppress, Officer Cain testified that on August 12, 1977, at 7 a.m., he and 14 other police officers went to 3648 Martin Luther King Drive pursuant to the search warrant. He arrived at the scene on a Chicago Fire Department snorkel truck and entered the premises through a second floor window. Shortly thereafter, the arrests were made.
It is undisputed that when Officer Cain entered the premises, he did not knock, nor did he announce that he was a police officer in possession of a warrant to search the premises. At the hearing on the motion to suppress, Officer Cain explained that the fortress-like qualities of the premises necessitated executing the warrant in an unorthodox manner.
The house at 3648 South Martin Luther King Drive is a three-story, brick building with a basement. Officer Cain testified that the basement door is made of steel and equipped with a burglar gate and collapsible bars. The front door is made of solid wood and is also backed with burglar bars. The doors at the rear of the first, second and third floors are each equipped with burglar bars. Further, burglar bars are affixed to both the inside and outside of all windows. Officer Cain also stated that approximately 10 large dogs occupy the backyard and that other dogs occupy the basement.
In the last year and a half, police officers attempted to execute search warrants on the premises on six different occasions. On one of these occasions, entrance through the front door was impossible.
Consequently, at the hearing on the motion to suppress, the State argued that police officers may use all necessary and reasonable force to execute a search warrant and that the execution in this case was necessary and reasonable in light of the unusual facts. The trial court rejected this argument and ruled that the method of execution employed in this case would have been proper only if the police officers had knocked first on the door and then given notice by means of amplifier or loud speaker. The court reasoned that only if this procedure failed to produce any response from within, would the officers be justified in breaking through a window to gain entry.
From the order granting defendants' motion to suppress, the State appeals. The State argues that the police were justified in making an unannounced, forcible entry because easily disposable heroin was on the premises and the police were aware of preparations both to deter execution of the search warrant and to quickly dispose of the evidence.
1 We disagree. While the execution of the search warrant showed great ingenuity, it failed to satisfy constitutional requisites. Section 108-8 of the Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963 (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1975, ch. 38, par. 108-8) states that
"All necessary and reasonable force may be used to effect an entry into any building or property or part thereof to execute a search warrant."
This statute has been construed "to prohibit forced entries to execute search warrants without a prior announcement of authority and purpose, unless at the time of entry there exist circumstances which excuse compliance with this requirement." People v. Stephens (1974), 18 Ill. App.3d 817, 821, 310 N.E.2d 755, 758.
The State argues, however, that the presence of easily disposable narcotics, coupled with the fortress-like qualities of the building and the fact that numerous search warrants had been executed on the premises before, created an exigent circumstance. We disagree. In Stephens, the court specifically held that the belief that the defendant was in possession of a narcotic that might be readily destroyed was not a sufficient exigent circumstance justifying an unannounced, forcible entry. (18 Ill. App.3d 817, 823, 310 N.E.2d 755, 760.) Furthermore, the fact that defendant instituted elaborate security measures and the fact that numerous search warrants were executed in the past, failed to make the situation any more "exigent." Every citizen has a constitutional right to make his home secure against intruders. This is especially true in the instant case where the premises are located in a high crime area. The fact that numerous search warrants were executed in the past is also irrelevant.
2 The State relies on People v. Hartfield (1968), 94 Ill. App.2d 421, 237 N.E.2d 193, for the proposition that an announcement of authority and purpose is not constitutionally required in a narcotics case. We disagree. In People v. Wolgemuth (1977), 69 Ill.2d 154, 370 N.E.2d 1067, the supreme court recently held that while the failure of police officers to announce their authority and purpose does not per se violate the Constitution, it may influence whether subsequent entry to arrest or search is constitutionally reasonable. Consequently, where such entry is not constitutionally reasonable, evidence so obtained will be inadmissible at trial. Furthermore, the State misinterprets Hartfield. Hartfield was addressing itself to a situation where exigent circumstances exist. This conclusion is readily drawn from the court's reliance on Ker v. California (1963), 374 U.S. 23, 10 L.Ed.2d 726, 83 S.Ct. 1623, where "Ker's furtive conduct in eluding them [the police] shortly before the arrest was ground for the belief that he might well have been expecting the police." (374 U.S. 23, 40, 10 L.Ed.2d 726, 742, 83 S.Ct. 1623, 1633.) We therefore conclude that the exigent circumstances anticipated in Ker and Hartfield are simply not present in the instant case inasmuch as there is no evidence to indicate that defendants were expecting the police at the time of the break-in.
For the foregoing reasons, the order of the trial court granting defendants' motion to suppress is affirmed.
Order affirmed.

Todays prison system is extremely overcrowded in fact its more populated today than it has ever been This puts stress on prison staff and administrators as well as causing safety concerns and hazardous health conditions for offenders In 2004 there were more than two million offenders incarcerated in the United States There is effort put forth with probation and parole and prison administrators to help reduce prison population Probation and parole is set up to supervise the offender and keep them on the right track Prison administrators keep control of offenders so they can successfully reintegrate back into society Every correctional facility in the United States has a system instilled in their organization which helps them control prison population by classifying each inmate according to criminal history age status gang affiliation and much more It is also important to utilize a well-trained and efficient staff but with the excessive population its hard to keep all administrators safe which is why there are so many issues within the prison system Overcrowded prisons in the United States is creating safety hazards for administration and staff as well as putting the entire personnel as a health risk I would like to elaborate a little on how the prison system is operated Administrators today go by a system within the prison to help manage its population It is often referred to as prison capacity This is a general tool used to help understand how much room and beds are available for occupancy There are four main components of this system The first module is bed then staffing patterns physical plant and designated use With bed count being the least important of the four components it varies from day to day When offenders are transferred to prisons for incarceration this process can take up to two or three days between institutions

But you should also observe that His prayer, as it has been written by St John in this same Gospel, was threefold. For He prayed that we might be with Him, that we might behold the glory which His Father had given Him. And therefore I said at the beginning that all good men are united with God by means of Divine grace and their own virtuous life; for the love of God is always pouring into us with new gifts, and whosoever is aware of this is fulfilled with new virtues and holy exercises and with all good, in the way that I told you heretofore: and this union through the fulness of grace and glory, in body and soul, begins here below and shall endure throughout eternity.
Further, Christ prayed thus, that He might be in us and we in Him. This we find in the Gospel, in many places. And this is the union without means; for the Love of God is not only outpouring, but it also draws us inwards, into the Unity. And those who feel and are aware of this, become inward and enlightened men, and their highest powers are uplifted, above all exercises, into their naked being: and there, above reason, the powers become simplified in their essence, and so they are full and overflowing. For in that simplicity, the spirit finds itself united with God without means; and this union, with the exercise which belongs to it, shall endure eternally, as I have told you heretofore.
Further, Christ uttered His most sublime prayer, namely, that His beloved might be made perfect in one, as He is one with the Father: not one as He is with the Father one single Divine Substance, for this is impossible to us; but so one, and in such a unity, as He is one fruition and one beatitude with the Father without distinction in Essential Love. Those who are thus united with God in this threefold way, in them the prayer of Christ has been fulfilled.
These with God shall ebb and flow,
Having and joying, they shall empty go;
They shall both work and passively endure,
And in their superessence rest secure.
They shall go out and in, and find their food,
And, drunk with love, in radiant darkness sleep in God.
Many more words I should like to say here, but those who possess this have no need of them: and he to whom it has been shown, and who cleaves with love to Love, he shall be taught the whole truth by Love itself. But those who turn outwards, and would find consolation in outward things, do not feel this; and, even though I should say much more of it, yet they would not understand. For those who give themselves wholly to outward works, or those who are idle in inward passivity, shall never be able to understand it. Now although reason and all bodily feelings must here give place and yield to the faith and contemplation of the spirit,8989 The Flemish word "instaerne," which Ruysbroeck here uses, conveys the idea of an absorbed inward gazing, for which we have no exact expression in English. and to those things which are above reason; yet reason and also the life of the senses continue to abide in their place, and cannot pass away, any more than the nature of man can pass away. And further, though the gazing and tendency of the spirit towards God must give place to fruition in simplicity; yet this gazing and this tendency continue to exist in their place.9090 "Staende in syn abijt." This phrase has puzzled all translators, from Surius onwards. Taken with its context, it seems to mean that the self's ascent to the heights of Divine fruition does not entail any impoverishment of the lower levels of existence. The senses, the intellect, the normal religious faculty, each continue to exist "in their own place." This is another statement of the profound truth insisted upon in The Sparkling Stone: that the completed life of man, like that of its Pattern Christ, is both active and contemplative, both human and divine—"living wholly in God where we possess our blessedness, and wholly in ourselves where we exercise ourselves in love to God." For this is the inmost life of the spirit; and, in the enlightened and uplifted man, the life of the senses adheres to the spirit. And so his sensual powers are joined to God by heart-felt love, and his nature is fulfilled with all good; and he feels that his ghostly life adheres to God without means. And thereby his highest powers are uplifted to God in eternal love, and drenched through by Divine truth, and established in imageless freedom. And so he is filled with God, and overflowing without measure. In this inundation there comes to pass the essential outpouring or immersion in the superessential Unity; and this is the union without distinction, of which I have often told you. For in the superessence all our ways end. If we will go with God upon the highway of love, we shall rest with Him eternally and without end: and thus we shall eternally go forth towards God and enter into Him and rest in Him.

Skip to comments.Man sought over 'deliberately-lit fire' at East Ivanhoe (first photofit of Australian fire suspect)
Posted on 02/12/2009 3:42:08 AM PST by naturalman1975
POLICE have released an image of a man sought for questioning over a scrub fire that threatened houses at East Ivanhoe, in Melbourne's northeast.
Up to 50 Metropolitan Fire Brigade (MFB) officers fought the three hectare blaze blaze in scrub that began in the Yarra Flats at East Ivanhoe about 3pm (AEDT), police said.
It's believed the fire was deliberately lit and police are investigating.
(Excerpt) Read more at news.com.au ...
looks like he knows in what direction mecca lies
Hard to say. He looks a bit native Australian.
I don't know, looks Amish to me.
Does Australia still have issues with the Aboriginals? Is there any running separatist movement there, or are they provided the American/ Canadian equivalent of Indian Reserves and First Nations?
Well ya gots to know the natives may have a bone to pick with other Australians.
I mean they did to the aborigonees what we did to the American Indians, tried to wipe them out.
No real separatist movement but there are certainly issues. The most radical of the indigenous movements want a treaty, but really most just want access to a decent standard of living and realise the best way to get that is to work with other Australians to resolve the problems that still exist and to find solutions.
As an Australian, I have to say this photofit does not, in my view, particularly resemble an Australian aboriginal.
I'm just going by the nose and eyes for my opinion on him being a native (possibly mixed race) but it is only a composite drawing.
Yes, I too was thinking in those lines, especially the sunken nostrils.
Maybe the kid took Midnight Oil too seriously.
(Don't think so. . .)
Dang.....brutal....he should have just followed in Peter Garrett's footsteps and become a lawyer and a member of the Australian House of Representatives....
Looks like this belongs on the religion of peace (ROP) ping.
Think the perp might be muslim? It's not too far-fethched an idea given all the problems they have been causing recently.
Islam group urges forest fire jihad
* Josh Gordon
* September 7, 2008
AUSTRALIA has been singled out as a target for "forest jihad" by a group of Islamic extremists urging Muslims to deliberately light bushfires as a weapon of terror.
US intelligence channels earlier this year identified a website calling on Muslims in Australia, the US, Europe and Russia to "start forest fires", claiming "scholars have justified chopping down and burning the infidels' forests when they do the same to our lands".
Wow - look at my post above yours. Thanks for the link!!
Meanwhile, the fighterfighter's union is siding with the enviroweenies....
Well, he sure "doesn't look like the guys on the dollar bills."
Interesting bit at the end:
But starting bushfires was still often regarded as less effective than other operations because governments could easily deny terrorism as the cause.
He doesn't look aboriginal much, more like Indonesian.

Bitter/Sweet, and Displeased...Posted Aug 13, 2016
Pros: The location, atmosphere, accommidations, and food.
Cons: Management response and compensation regarding unsatisfactory and unaddressed issues.
Location: Beach view, flowers were breathtaking.
While the accommodations are luxurious and secluded, we found the service to be lacking in more ways than one. Within 20 seconds of entering the plunge pool, I received an electrical shock. After reporting this to management, I was told the issue would be addressed. Two days later, my wife and I received another electrical shock after sitting in the pool for five minutes. We were scrambling to escape as our family members approached our cabana and heard the commotion. A second report was made. We were told they couldn't find an 'available' electrician due to the 'Carnival Festival Activities'. Later, we were informed an electrician had in fact addressed the matter however; he was sent to the WRONG cabana where he (obviously) found nothing wrong, hence our second shocking experience. The restaurant and food service was slow, but worth waiting for however; after waiting for over an hour for our meal (due to lack of staff) we walked out of the restaurant and went back to our cabana. To our surprise, the meal was delivered to us however, we were not fully compensated as promised. The response by management was irresponsible, inadequate, and unacceptable. We feel compensation is due.

Amazingly Private Elegance in GrenadaPosted Mar 11, 2016
Pros: rooms, beach, food, service, serenity
Cons: free pickup and drop off to ariport, it is really so close
Location: Beach is private and perfect for swimming. We stayed put since it offered all that we were seeking - beach, quiet, swimming, yoga, gym, and spa!
The staff greeted us and catered to everyone throughout the stay. The rooms were perfect, private and peaceful. This is the perfect place for rleaxation, yoga, spa, and a perfect private beach cove. The days we spent there were perfect, food good and weather amazing! It is definitely Zen.

Beautiful hotel but staff needs more trainingPosted Jan 20, 2016 on Hotels
The hotel is located in one of the best spots of Grenada. The beach was amazingly beautiful and the water was crystal cleat. The room was perfect! Beautiful views, super clean, excellent facilities and overall you could see that the person that designed this hotel has great taste and wants to deliver something different and unique to its guests. Our only issue with the hotel was the service and the staff who were lacking of training and we're definitely not up to the standards for such a beautiful hotel. We ended up organising our own taxi and taking down the suitcases ourselves at 6am in the morning to catch a flight to Miami at 8am, simply because the communication from reception to the security guard was poor. The reception reassured us that once we call zero there will be someone to pick up the phone and help us out with our bags even though it's too early in the morning and the reception is not operating 24hours. When the security guard appeared and saw us, we complained and said to him why didn't he come upstairs to help us with the bags? He raised his voice, spoke to my wife in a very bad manner almost screaming at her, saying "you never asked me to do so, you never told me that you wanted help with the bags". Well.... We asked from the reception twice the previous day for help with our bags, and then, when we called zero as they told us to do, no one was picking up the phone.

This place is amazing. Naturesque and secluded.Posted Aug 26, 2015
Pros: Naturesque and secluded.
Cons: Food Menu
Location: Beach
Loved our stay. I been to Grenada many times. This place is perfect. I hope it stays that way. No Sandals or cruise people here. No loud Americans (I am an American and cant stand the louds ones). No KIDS. Perfect for wife and I. We will probably have kids someday and become the "all-inclusive Sandals tourists", but we will know that we had our La Luna experience.

Tranquil and relaxingPosted Jun 8, 2015
Pros: Small and friendly, good staff, great amenities. Beautiful location, off the beaten track, but not too far to be remote.
Cons: Lots of steps to the cottages, but I call that wine points!!
Location: On a gorgeous beach, a great restaurant in walking distance called the Beach House. Good walking if you like hills. Short taxi to most places.
We were very fortunate on the dates we chose to stay at LaLuna as we practically had the whole resort to ourselves. Off season has its perks! Very pleased with the whole experience, no negatives.
