We submit the confirmatory application on the following grounds that the ECB has a legal obligation to disclose documents based on Article 2 (1) ECB/2004/3 in conjunction with Article 15 (3) TFEU. Presumption of the exceptions set out in Article 4 (2) ECB/2004/3 (undermining of the protection of court proceedings and legal advice) and Article 4 (3) ECB/2004/3 (undermining of the deliberation process) is unlawful. 1. Protection of legal advice, no undermining of legitimate interests – irrelevance of intentions, future deliberations and ‘erga omnes’ effects In your letter you state, “In the case at hand, public release of the legal opinion – which was sought by the ECB’s decision-making bodies and intended exclusively for their information and consideration – would undermine the ECB’s legitimate interest in receiving frank, objective and comprehensive legal advice. This especially so since this legal advice was not only essential for the decision-making bodies to feed

Welcome Welcome to the ninth annual Seal of Biliteracy recognition to honor multilingual students in Sacramento County! We would like to offer our congratulations to the high school seniors who have attained a high level of proficiency in English and another language. Each of these students has met rigorous state criteria and has demonstrated his or her linguistic abilities through examinations, grades, and coursework. By meeting these requirements, the California Department of Education awards each of David W. Gordon these students a gold “State Seal of Biliteracy” for his or her high school diploma. Sacramento County Superintendent of Schools In addition to English, this year’s Seal of Biliteracy recipients are proficient in 24 other languages, including American Sign Language, Arabic, Armenian, Cantonese, Dari, Farsi, French, German, Hindi, Hmong, Japanese, Korean, Latin, Mandarin, Pashto, Punjabi, Romanian, Russian, Spanish, Tagalog, Turkish, Ukrainian, Urdu, and Vietnamese. More than 50 students have earned Seals in multiple languages. Sacramento County Office of Education is proud to offer language exams that support the diversity of the families and students in our schools.

  • Genomic Diversity in Naturally Transformable Streptococcus Pneumoniae
    Genomic Diversity in Naturally Transformable Streptococcus pneumoniae Dr Donald James Inverarity BSc MBChB MRCP MSc DTMH DLSHTM FRCPath A Thesis Submitted in Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree of PhD Division of Infection and Immunity Faculty of Biomedical and Life Sciences University of Glasgow February 2009 © Donald James Inverarity 2 Abstract Infections due to Streptococcus pneumoniae (the pneumococcus) remain a substantial source of morbidity and mortality in both developing and developed countries despite a century of research and the development of effective therapeutic interventions (such as antibiotic therapy and vaccination). The ability of the pneumococcus to evade multiple classes of antibiotic through several genetically determined resistance mechanisms and its evasion of capsular polysaccharide based vaccines through serotype replacement and capsular switching, all reflect the extensive diversity and plasticity of the genome of this naturally transformable organism which can readily alter its genome in response to its environment and the pressures placed upon it in order to survive. The purpose of this thesis is to investigate this diversity from a genome sequence perspective and to relate these observations to pneumococcal molecular epidemiology in a region of high biodiversity, the pathogenesis of certain disease manifestations and assess for a possible bacterial genetic basis for the pneumococcal phenotypes of, “carriage” and, “invasion.” In order to do this, microarray comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) has been utilized to compare DNA from a variety of pneumococcal isolates chosen from 10 diverse serotypes and Multilocus Sequence Types and from clinically relevant serotypes and sequence types (particularly serotypes 3, 4 and 14 and sequence types ST9, ST246 and ST180)) against a reference, sequenced pneumococcal genome from an extensively investigated serotype 4 isolate – TIGR4.
