    VERSE 1My heart’s sad and I am lonely,And I don’t know what to do!Something tells me you’re unhappy,Something says you miss me, too.Ev’ry breeze your name is sighing,Flowers nod their heads in vain;And my soul for you is crying,Won’t you come to me again? REFRAINIf you cared for me as I care for you,If your heart were mine again;If some sweet day to me you’d say,“I love you just the same!”For I want you so, and this much I know,That no other girl will do!I would happy be,If you cared for meAs I care for you! VERSE 2Do you ever see the river?Does the old moon shine as fair?Do you wander in the meadowBuilding castles in the air?Do you ever think of someone?Someone’s heart now filled with pain;Must I live on broken hearted,Say you’ll care for me again!

    Petitioner was arrested without a warrant on suspicion of larceny. He was held without commitment for a period of thirty hours during which he was intermittently questioned but was not subjected to any form of physical coercion. At the end of this period, he signed a confession which was the basis for his conviction in the district court. On certiorari to the United States Supreme Court, following affirmation in the court of appeals, held, reversed. The detention was unlawful as a violation of rule 5 (a) of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure, and the confession thus obtained was inadmissible in evidence. Upshaw v. United States, (U.S. 1948) 69 S.Ct. 170

    FEDERAL COURTS-GRANTING OF NEW TRIAL ON INITIATIVE OF THE COURT

    Get PDF
    Following conviction for violation of a federal statute, petitioner was granted his release on a writ of habeas corpus by a federal district court, on the basis of uncontroverted testimony that his counsel had not been present when the jury returned its verdict. Within ten days of this release, a motion for rehearing was filed, supported by affidavits that his counsel actually had been present. On subsequent hearing, the court set aside its former order and remanded petitioner to custody, on the theory that his release was obtained by means of a fraud on the Court. The present action was a habeas corpus proceeding challenging the remanding order. Held, the remanding order amounted to the granting of a new trial on the court\u27s initiative and, being made after the statutory period had expired, was void. Thomas v. Hunter, (D.C. Kan. 1948) 78 F. Supp. 925

    Eternal Love

    [Verse 1]Oft\u27 times you ask me if the love I bear,Is like a summer\u27s breeze,Which softly comes and goes, no one knows were,and sighs with the swaying trees.If in the years to come,I\u27ll love you as today,I can but say, I\u27ll love you then, sweetheart, forever and for aye. [Refrain]Not like the winter\u27s snow,Not like a simmer\u27s breeze,Soft thro\u27 the signing trees,Not like a flower rare,not like the stars above;none can compare with the love that I bare,for mine is eternal love. [Verse 2]Do you recall the hours we spent alone?Would they could a;ways be,The tender love light in your eyes was shown, when you gave your heart to me. But soon the time will come,When we must say adieau,I only hope that we will meet above,and then our love renew. [Refrain

    Science in the Supply Chain: Collaboration Opportunities for Advancing Sustainable Agriculture in the United States

    Get PDF
    Consumers and corporations are increasingly interested in understanding the sustainability of agricultural supply chains and reducing the environmental impacts of food, fiber, feed, and fuel production. This emerging need to quantify environmental impacts from agricultural production creates an opportunity for collaboration with the scientific community. Without such collaboration, sustainability efforts risk failure by adopting unrealistic goals or misguided approaches. This commentary explores the role of science in Field to Market, a nonprofit organization developing a sustainability program for US commodity crops, and highlights opportunities to address emerging science challenges. We evaluate changes over the past 35 years in key environmental impacts of crop production used to inform land managers as well as companies that are committed to improvements. Achieving improvements will only be possible if three key gaps are addressed regarding available simulation models and data, scale of implementation and uncertainty, and effectiveness of conservation practices. Filling these gaps presents an opportunity for dialogue between scientists, farmers, and private-sector stakeholders to advance scientific knowledge and promote the common objective of sustainable agriculture

    Event-related alpha suppression in response to facial motion

    Get PDF
    This article has been made available through the Brunel Open Access Publishing Fund.While biological motion refers to both face and body movements, little is known about the visual perception of facial motion. We therefore examined alpha wave suppression as a reduction in power is thought to reflect visual activity, in addition to attentional reorienting and memory processes. Nineteen neurologically healthy adults were tested on their ability to discriminate between successive facial motion captures. These animations exhibited both rigid and non-rigid facial motion, as well as speech expressions. The structural and surface appearance of these facial animations did not differ, thus participants decisions were based solely on differences in facial movements. Upright, orientation-inverted and luminance-inverted facial stimuli were compared. At occipital and parieto-occipital regions, upright facial motion evoked a transient increase in alpha which was then followed by a significant reduction. This finding is discussed in terms of neural efficiency, gating mechanisms and neural synchronization. Moreover, there was no difference in the amount of alpha suppression evoked by each facial stimulus at occipital regions, suggesting early visual processing remains unaffected by manipulation paradigms. However, upright facial motion evoked greater suppression at parieto-occipital sites, and did so in the shortest latency. Increased activity within this region may reflect higher attentional reorienting to natural facial motion but also involvement of areas associated with the visual control of body effectors. © 2014 Girges et al

    Cell genesis and dendritic plasticity: a neuroplastic pas de deux in the onset and remission from depression

    Get PDF
    Brain neuroplasticity is increasingly considered to be an important component of both the pathology and treatment of depressive spectrum disorders. Recent studies shed light on the relevance of hippocampal cell genesis and cortico-limbic dendritic plasticity for the development and remission from depressive-like behavior. However, the neurobiological significance of neuroplastic phenomena in this context is still controversial. Here we summarize recent developments in this topic and propose an integrative interpretation of data gathered so far

    Integrated Resistance and Aerobic Training Study - Sprint

    Space flight causes reductions in fitness/health: (1) Cardiovascular -- reduced VO2max, cardiac output (2) Bone -- reduced bone mineral density (3) Muscle -- reduced mass, strength and endurance. Exercise is the primary countermeasure to protect against these changes and was made operational before completely mature. Research continues to identify most effective/efficient exercise programs. Crew medical tests (cardio, muscle, bone) do not yield sufficient information to fine tune the effectiveness of exercise programs, thus there is a need for more detailed testing aimed at identifying the most effective training program. The objective of this program was to obtain detailed information about crew physical fitness pre-and post-flight and evaluate new evidence based exercise prescription with higher intensity, lower duration and frequency

    Looking on the bright side: biased attention and the human serotonin transporter gene

    Get PDF
    Humans differ in terms of biased attention for emotional stimuli and these biases can confer differential resilience and vulnerability to emotional disorders. Selective processing of positive emotional information, for example, is associated with enhanced sociability and well-being while a bias for negative material is associated with neuroticism and anxiety. A tendency to selectively avoid negative material might also be associated with mental health and well-being. The neurobiological mechanisms underlying these cognitive phenotypes are currently unknown. Here we show for the first time that allelic variation in the promotor region of the serotonin transporter gene (5-HTTLPR) is associated with differential biases for positive and negative affective pictures. Individuals homozygous for the long allele (LL) showed a marked bias to selectively process positive affective material alongside selective avoidance of negative affective material. This potentially protective pattern was absent among individuals carrying the short allele (S or SL). Thus, allelic variation on a common genetic polymorphism was associated with the tendency to selectively process positive or negative information. The current study is important in demonstrating a genotype-related alteration in a well-established processing bias, which is a known risk factor in determining both resilience and vulnerability to emotional disorders
