On Catullus 61. 116–19
Authors: Mayer Roland 
Published: April 2013

quae tuo ueniunt ero,quanta gaudia, quae uaganocte, quae medio diegaudeat! sed abit dies.In PCPS n.s.24 (1978), 99 Professor Nisbet emended medio to emerito, and offered a new interpretation of the lines in which the time of day specified will now be, as he admits, roughly the same in each quae clause. Two points may be worth making about this proposal.First, the fundamental necessity for change has not been demonstrated. As to the sense of the lines as they appear in the MS. tradition, Professor Nisbet says that mention of love-making between husband and wife in the afternoon ‘has no place in an epithalamium, a serious celebration of married love’. How do we know this? We have only one complete epithalamium in republican Latin poetry, and this is it. It is not therefore possible to say with any confidence what the genre does or does not allow at this stage of its development, except in so far as this poem casts light on the matter. And in this poem we read, not many lines after these, of Torquatus's concubinus. We are told that the concubinus attends Torquatus on his visits to his country estates (136f. ‘sordent tibi uilicae’), and furthermore that Torquatus had quite a developed taste in pueri delicati (141–3 ‘diceris male te’).
The meaning of faenus in Juvenal's ninth Satire
Authors: Saller Richard 
Published: April 2013

At the end of Juvenal's Ninth Satire the pathetic debased Naevolus describes what he hopes for in order to live as a ‘pauper’ (147).viginti milia faenuspignoribus positis, argenti vascula puri,sed quae Fabricius censor notet, et duo fortesde grege Moesorum, qui me cervice locatasecurum iubeant clamoso insistere circo;sit mihi praeterea curvus caelator, et alterqui multas facies pingit cito. (140–46)The first item on the list, viginti milia faenus pignoribus positis, has been understood by commentators to mean 20,000 sesterces in annual interest and has been connected with Martial, Epigram 3.10 in discussions of the significance of the capital sum implied. I wish to argue that there is no warrant for understanding faenus as annual interest and to suggest on various grounds that in this context it is more likely to mean capital out in interest-bearing loans.
Love in the Margin: Ovid, Amores 1.11.22
Authors: Mckie David 
Published: April 2013

nec mora, perlectis rescribat multa iubeto:odi, cum late splendida cera uacat. 20comprimat ordinibus uersus, oculosque moreturmargine in extremo littera rasa meos.The context is Ovid's instruction to Corinna's maid, Nape, to see that Corinna receives his message (written that morning on wax tablets) and that she writes back to him at length – unused wax on a tablet is a hateful thing to see. The problem is the word rasa in line 22. There are two ways in which it is commonly taken, one of them possible, though difficult, the other less difficult but less possible. The word means ‘erased’ (as in rasis tabellis at A.A.I, 437 etc.), which gives the sense ‘Tell her to cram the lines together in their rows, and may a letter she has erased at the edge of the margin delay my eyes.’ Thus Ovid wishes to draw out his reading of Corinna's reply by attempting to decipher a mistake she has made in an area of the tablet not normally covered – ‘some blotted letter’, in Marlowe's version, ‘On the last edge to stay mine eyes the better’. And so – where translations or commentaries allow us to see their mind – the word appears to have been taken by some early as well as a few modern editors of Ovid.
Vergil on Kingship: the first simile of the Aeneid
Authors: Harrison Stephen 
Published: April 2013

At Aeneid 1.148–56 Neptune's stilling of the storm roused against Aeneas and the Trojans by Juno is compared with the calming of a mob by a great statesman:ac ueluti magno in populo cum saepe coorta estseditio saeuitque animis ignobile uulgusiamque faces et saxa uolant, furor arma ministrat.tum pietate grauem ac meritis si forte uirum quemconspexere silent arrectisque auribus astant;ille regit dictis animos et pectora mulcet:sic cunctus pelagi cecidit fragor, aequora postquamprospiciens genitor caeloque inuectus apertoflectit equos curruque uolans dat lora secundo.As has been often remarked, this simile, prominently placed as the first in the poem, is evidently programmatic for the value system of the Aeneid. The ‘pietate grauem ac meritis…uirum’ standing up to and defeating the violence of the mob gives a highly Roman rôle-model (not always successfully followed) for Aeneas, the destined hero overcoming the forces of irrationality, something confirmed by the details of the poem as well as the events of its plot; Aeneas is similarly proclaimed by the Sybil in the Underworld as ‘pietate insignis et armis’ (6.402), while the soothing words of the statesman to the mob (153 ‘ille regit dictis animos et pectora mulcet’) are clearly echoed in the soothing words Aeneas addresses to his storm-shaken sailors in the very next scene of the poem (197 ‘dictis maerentia pectora mulcet’).
Satire writes ‘woman’: Gendersong
Authors: Henderson John 
Published: April 2013

Satire is not ‘about’ women (or even ‘Woman’). But it is tied into social discourse on gender. If you ask me, feminism has it knocked into a cocked hat.1. Roman, Human, Man:The important thing is to have said I AM I, or even I AM AN I THAT IS IN WITH THE CROWD THAT LIKES TO SAY I AM LIKE THISIt is not, I suppose, difficult to state the principle that no text can simply report, image, reflect or document the ‘position’ of women in culture. Nor would it be difficult to show that all writings, ancient or modern, are implicated in this truth. I feel it as I write, feel it as you read this.In the first place, texts always do both more and less than ‘report’ – about anything. There could not be a text recognisable as a text which just offered information indifferently as to its recipients, impersonally so far as its authorship is concerned, neutrally in terms of its role within the social, political, cultural discourses which empower it to speak.
Mysteries of identity and designs of the self in Euripides'Ion
Authors: Zeitlin Froma I. 
Published: April 2013

TheIonis one of Euripides' most dazzling and puzzling plays. Poised on the boundary between the sacred and the sceptical, the mysterious and the mundane, the mythic and the realistic, and, as so many have noted, between the tragic and the comic, the drama dips and twists and turns and turns and turns again in a continuing series of theatricaltours de force. The birds who swoop down in the opening scene and intervene again in the most important moment of the plot at Ion's banquet might well exemplify these paradoxes of which I speak.Defilers of the sacred temple dedications with unwanted offerings of their own (106–7, 176) and nesting in the eaves of the roof, crudely ‘making offspring’, no doubt, as Ion suspects them of doing (172–5), they are at the same time bearers of sacred messages (phēmas) to mortals from the gods (180–1), oracular portents (oiōnoi) both generic and particular (1191, 1333, 377) which will prove their worth when, later at the banquet, one of the birds drinks the poisoned wine meant for Ion and by its own lifeless form reveals the lethal plot to its interpreter (1196–211).
Globalising German Anthropology: Erhard Eylmann in Australia
Authors: Monteath Peter 
Published: April 2013

The German presence in nineteenth-century South Australia is associated primarily with the immigration of Prussian Lutherans escaping religious persecution in their homeland. Their settlement in the fledgling British colony aided its early, stuttering development; in the longer term it also fitted neatly South Australia's perception of itself as a “paradise of dissent.” These Germans took their religion seriously, none more so than the Lutheran missionaries who committed themselves to bringing the Gospel to the indigenous people of the Adelaide plains and, eventually, much further afield as well. In reality, however, the story of the German contribution to the history of this British colony extended far beyond these pious Lutherans. Among those who followed in their wake, whether as settlers or travellers, were Germans of many different backgrounds, who made their way to the Antipodes for a multitude of reasons. In South Australia as much as anywhere, globalising Germany was a multi-facetted project.The intellectual gamut of Germans in South Australia is nowhere more evident than in the realm of anthropology. The missionaries were not alone in displaying a keen interest in the Australian Aborigines. Anthropologists steeped in the empirical tradition that came to dominate the nascent discipline at the end of the nineteenth century also turned their attention to Australia. Indeed, in Germany and elsewhere, Australia occupied a special position in international discourse. The American anthropologist Lewis Henry Morgan had observed in 1880 that Australian aboriginal societies “now represent the condition of mankind in savagery better than it is elsewhere represented on the earth—a condition now rapidly passing away.”
What Is the Use of Diagrams in Theoretical Modeling?
Authors: Barberousse Anouk 
Published: April 2013

ArgumentThe use of diagrams is pervasive in theoretical physics. Together with mathematical formulae and natural language, diagrams play a major role in theoretical modeling. They enrich the expressive power of physicists and help them to explore new theoretical ideas. Diagrams are not only heuristic or pedagogical tools, but they are also tools that enable developing the content of models into novel implications.
Mapping developmental trajectories of attention and working memory in fragile X syndrome: Developmental freeze or developmental change?
Authors: Cornish Kim , Cole Victoria , Longhi Elena , Karmiloff-Smith Annette , Scerif Gaia 
Published: April 2013

AbstractFragile X syndrome (FXS) has a characteristic cognitive “signature” that by late childhood includes core weaknesses in attention and working memory (WM), but their earlier developmental trajectories remain uncharted. Using a combined cross-sectional and prospective longitudinal design, we tested whether early profiles of attention and WM impairment in FXS indicate developmental freeze or developmental change. In Study 1, 26 young boys with FXS and 55 typically developing (TD) boys completed two experimental paradigms designed to assess cognitive aspects of attention and WM, in addition to behavioral indices of inattention and hyperactivity. Study 2 mapped longitudinal changes in 21 children with FXS and 21 TD children. In Study 1, significant weaknesses emerged for boys with FXS, with no substantial improvement over chronological age. Mapping performance against mental age level revealed delay, but it also yielded a similar attention and WM profile to TD boys. In Study 2, longitudinal improvements for boys with FXS paralleled those in TD children. In conclusion, cognitive attention and WM, although delayed in FXS, reveal developmental change, rather than “arrest.” Our findings underscore the need for going beyond cross-sectional group comparisons and gross behavioral indices to map cognitive changes longitudinally in developmental disorders.
Athenian bribery reconsidered: some legal aspects
Authors: Hashiba Yuzuru 
Published: April 2013

In hisPanathenaicus, which was issued in 339 BC, Isocrates condemns Athenians for their rampant bribery:[Formerly] those who had been elected to office were expected to neglect their own property, and also to abstain no less from those perquisites (λημμάτων) which nowadays the officials have become accustomed to gain than from the sacred treasures; who under the current circumstances would have such sense of self-restraint? (Isoc. 12.145)There are many references suggesting that the Athenians not only deplored but also had strict attitudes towards bribery, which they considered to be a distinct crime. What should not be overlooked, however, is that the Greeks had their traditional values concerning gifts and reciprocity, according to which they were expected to give in return when given something. In so-called Homeric society gift-giving was one of the most fundamental principles of social relationships, as is notably pointed out by M. I. Finley. That the Greek worddôra, which is most commonly used to mean bribery, originally refers to gifts in general epitomises the ambivalence of Greek values concerning bribery.
Three notes on Virgil,Aeneid2
Authors: Gasti Helen 
Published: April 2013

Aeneas begins his narrative with the story of the Trojan Horse. The Greeks, after constructing a huge wooden horse, within which they hide a great many armed soldiers, flee the land. The Trojans rejoice, thinking that they have driven off their opponents. Lines 27–8 express the joy of the Trojans as they visit the Greek camp:iuuat ire et Dorica castradesertosqueuidere locos litusquerelictumIt is disputed whetherdesertosandrelictumare used with an attributive or predicative function. The repeateddesertus(24huc se prouecti deserto in litore condunt, i.e. the Greeks) directs the reader's attention to its earlier use in an attributive function (‘they hid on thevacant shoreof Tenedos’). The image of the deserted shore of Tenedos is clearly meant to suggest the potential destructiveness of the Doric camp and shore deserted now. Such an interpretation seems to be further supported by the predicative use ofdesertosandrelictum, since we see the Greek camp through the eyes both of Aeneas and of his countrymen.
Lipid phosphatases identified by screening a mouse phosphatase shRNA library regulate T-cell differentiation and Protein kinase B AKT signaling
Authors: Guo Liying , Martens Craig , Bruno Daniel , Porcella Stephen F. , Yamane Hidehiro , Caucheteux Stephane M. , Zhu Jinfang , Paul William E. 
Published: April 2013

Significance
We identified a series of lipid phosphatases that regulate differentiation of naïve CD4 T cells to their major phenotypic states, T-helper (Th)1/Th2/Th17. Previously, phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) was the only lipid phosphatase shown to function in this process. To identify these phosphatases, we used a unique “phosphatase-wide” screening procedure. Our results demonstrate that myotubularin-related protein (MTMR) 9 and MTMR7 play critical roles in Th differentiation. Knocking down MTMR9 enhances Th1 priming, and such Th1 cells show increased protein kinase B (PKB)/AKT phosphorylation. Knocking down MTMR7 increases Th2 and Th17 priming; these cells show enhanced AKT phosphorylation.

Using this complete sample, we investigate the properties of long GRBs and their evolution with cosmic time, focusing in particular on the GRB luminosity function, the prompt emission spectral-energy correlations and the nature of dark bursts.
Re‐inventing the library
Authors: Wade Martyn 
Published: April 2013

PurposeThe purpose of the paper is to explore the impact of strategic planning, marketing and external relations, and shared services on library development.Design/methodology/approachThe paper uses the National Library of Scotland as a case study.FindingsThe introduction and development of strategic planning has provided a clear basis though which NLS has defined and achieved a new role within and beyond Scotland. Longer term planning is being informed by Thriving and Surviving – a future library project which has identified the transition to digital, the need for an outward focus and the development of an agile library as fundamental to a successful future for NLS. Strategic planning also supported the successful development of new legislation for NLS which was passed by the Scottish Parliament in 2012. Marketing and external relations have been vital in promoting the library's role, and widening the use made of its collections and services. The development of “shared services” is changing the way back office services are provided, achieving some savings and adding operational resilience.Originality/valueThe paper will be of interest and relevance to library managers seeking to address the issues facing libraries in the 21st century who are seeking management tools and techniques that will help them with the challenges they face.
A margin requirement based return calculation for portfolios of short option positions
Authors: Murray Scott 
Published: April 2013

PurposeShort option positions carry significant risk of losses well in excess of 100 per cent of the initial option price. Margin requirements associated with such positions are therefore considerable. The purpose of this paper is to develop a methodology for calculating margin requirement‐based option portfolio returns that realistically represent the returns realized by investors, and to demonstrate the effects of this methodology on analyses of option returns.Design/methodology/approachA methodology is developed for calculating margin requirement‐based short option portfolio returns.FindingsAccounting for margin requirements reduces the returns of simple short option strategies by up to 92 per cent compared to the price return. In long/short portfolio analyses, use of margin requirement returns necessitates additional methodological adjustments to ensure that unwanted volatility risk is properly hedged.Originality/valueThe result is a portfolio return that more accurately represents the return realized by investors, and increased power to detect cross‐sectional patterns in option returns.
An examination of the long‐term performance of reacquired carve‐outs
Authors: Thompson Thomas H. 
Published: April 2013

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to provide a comprehensive initial evaluation of divestiture gains for reacquired carve‐out parent and subsidiary second event and three‐year returns for the period 1980‐2010.Design/methodology/approachUsing several variables, we contrast reacquired carve‐out parent and subsidiary second event returns with those for acquired carve‐outs. Similarly, we contrast carve‐out parent three‐year returns.FindingsWe observe several differences between reacquired (RACO) and acquired (AQCO) carve‐outs. Indicating less competition for RACO prices, RACOs have lower market capitalization on the day before reacquisition. Supporting a certification effect for Thermo Electron, parent three‐year post reacquisition returns are positive versus negative returns for other RACO parents. Our multiple regression variables explain 27.53 percent of the subsidiary reacquisition announcement returns of 11.63 percent and explain 19.84 percent of the variation of parent three‐year returns.Originality/valueThis study makes several contributions to the literature. It is the first study to contrast the long‐term results of reacquired carve‐outs and their parents with those of acquired carve‐outs and their parents. Also, Gleason et al.’s study of reacquired carve‐outs has been extended in several ways. First, parent company three‐year returns after the reacquisition was examined. Next, returns for reacquired carve‐outs were contrasted with acquired carve‐outs. Updating Allen's study, it is reported that, except for one subsidiary acquired by a third party, all subsidiaries were reacquired by Thermo Electron.
Information culture in a government organization
Authors: Wright Trudi 
Published: April 2013

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to use information culture assessment tools (from work by Curry and Moore) to examine the information culture within a regulated, government environment. In particular, it aims to study the relationship between records management training provided to staff, staff self‐perceptions of records management competencies and compliance with a formal records management program.Design/methodology/approachThe survey employs a questionnaire to gather the data from a provincial government ministry in Ontario, Canada. A questionnaire was used for data collection from a sample of 350 records management personnel from a population of 3,510 in five divisions of the ministry. A total of 207 participants responded and the copies of their questionnaire were found valid for analysis. The response rate realized was 66.7 percent.FindingsThe results from this study show that the there is a potential relationship between formal training delivered to staff, and the self‐perceived level of records management competency, namely that the more training staff receive, the more staff perceive the need for further training, and the greater level of compliance with the records management program. However, as the records management training strategy is informal in nature, it is difficult to determine a holistic influence of the training program on the organization's information culture.Research limitations/implicationsThe study is based on one ministry with an informal training records management strategy in place. The findings may not apply to organizations where there is a more formal training strategy. The findings should also be tested in private sector organizational settings.Practical implicationsKnowledge and understanding of the features of information culture will assist with identifying gaps in addressing the challenges of organizational record management training and its effect on compliance with organizational information and record management programs.Originality/valueThis research adds to the body of knowledge about information culture and user‐information behavior, particularly in regards to connections between training and compliance in government organizations. This paper provides evidence from an original study.
