to be the critical populations which act together to suppress T cell responses and mediate immunotherapy resistance.

Evofosfamide is a hypoxia-specific chemotherapeutic pro-drug which is activated only in the hypoxic cores of tumors and thus can be co-administered with immunotherapy. We find that Evofosfamide-driven disruption of hypoxia zones sensitizes prostate cancer to antibody blockade of CTLA-4 and PD-1 in both transplantable and genetically-engineered murine models of prostate cancer. Co-administration of Evofosfamide and α-CTLA-4/α-PD-1 promotes tumor rejection in a significantly larger percentage of mice than either therapy alone. Mechanistic studies reveals that loss of immune resistance is a consequence of re-oxygenation of hypoxia zones which results in 1) loss of active myeloid suppressor cells, 2) reduced suppressive capacity of new myeloid immigrants, 3) loss of suppressive activation of myofibroblasts, andfound?

Today, all of us do, by our presence here, and by our celebrations in other parts of our country and the world, confer glory and hope to newborn liberty.

Out of the experience of an extraordinary human disaster that lasted too long, must be born a society of which all humanity will be proud.

Our daily deeds as ordinary South Africans must produce an actual South African reality that will reinforce humanity's belief in justice, strengthen its confidence in the nobility ofdarkness.

We understand it still that there is no easy road to freedom.We know it well that none of us acting alone can achieve success.We must therefore act together as a united people, for national reconciliation, for nation building, for the birth of a new world.Let there be justice for all.Let there be peace for all.Let there be work, bread, water and salt for all.

Let each know that for each the body, the mind and the soul have been freed to fulfill themselves.

Never, never and never again shall it be that this beautiful land will again experience the oppression of one by another and suffer the indignity of being the skunk of the world.

The extraction of cholesterol from an ice cream mix is interesting from a nutritional point of view and the extraction process of cholesterol itself may also help to improve the mix stability by controlling the


Q:

Docusign navigate to a Visualforce page upon signing

Can we navigate signer who is on a Mobile device (Salesforce 1) to a visualforce page when the document is signed and the submit button is clicked?

A:

Yes you can accomplish this.  You'll need to use the DocuSign API and more specifically, the Embedding functionality which will allow you to sign through a webview or an iFrame on the mobile device.
With Embedding you can control the redirects URLs based on actions the user takes.  For instance, if the user signs you can navigate to the Visual Force page in question.  Or, if the user declines to sign then you can navigate them to a different page if you'd like.  Same thing for if they hitthe X to close the signing window.
To get started with learning DocuSign's APIs check out the DocuSign Developer Center:

We found that in CRC the WNT, p53, ERBB, or TGFβ pathways are most frequently affected. We identified 147 proteins involved in at least 1 of these pathways; 29 of them were significantly elevated in tumor and none significantly downregulated ([Figure 5A](#f5){ref-type="fig"}). We observed a similar distribution of changes for insulin and chemokine pathways, with a majority of upregulated and only a few downregulated members ([Figure 5A](#f5){ref-type="fig"}).

Board have stadium backers breathing a sigh of relief that the state approved an alternate funding plan in May that no longer expects charitable gambling to contribute the $348 million state share of the stadium cost.

Gov. Mark Dayton, who made a Vikings stadium a top priority, said the year’s track record confirms that the e-pulltab funding formula was a gamble.

“To take an untried source of revenue for the sole source of funding for a major project is ill-advised,” he said Friday. “That’s my number one take-away from this.”

More online To see what Minnesota charities raised from electronic gambling in August, go to www.startribune.com.

But, Dayton said, “We made an honest mistake and corrected it.”

National experiment

Last September, Minnesota became the first state in the nation to roll out electronic pulltabcrowd to her bars, at least in the afternoons when she works.

Political analyst David Schultz said e-gambling has served its purpose. It got a Vikings stadium bill through the Legislature. He remains incredulous that nobody in government knew that the sales projections were so off or that they had come from the gambling industry.

A year after the failed experiment, e-gambling is now reverting to what it was — an interesting idea to explore at local bars and restaurants. Charities are rethinking ways to attract new players and possibly new marketing. But they are now saddled with a legacy of bad publicity and ties to the Vikings stadium.

“Absolutely no one would say, ‘If we could do this over again, we’d do it this way,’ ” Lund said.

Among insects, monarch butterflies and dragonflies have the longest migrations; migrating JDK bugs involves a long journey as well! As previously announced by Mark back in March, we've been working according to a revised plan to transition the JDK bug management from Sun's legacy system to initially an Oracle-internal JIRA instance which is afterward made visible and usable externally. I've been busily working on this project for the last few months and the team has made good progress on many aspects of the effort:

JDK bugs will be imported into JIRA regardless of age; bugs will also be imported regardless of state, including closed bugs. Consequently, the JDK bug project will start pre-populated with over 100,000 existing bugs, some dating all the


The wavelength range covered was 3248–7500 Å, with a dispersion of 3.6 Å pix$^{-1}$ (approximate resolution $\sim$7Å). Two exposures of 10 minutes each were obtained at an airmass of 1.07, approximately, bracketed by exposures of HeAr comparison lamps. Spectra of the three galaxies around the SN (see Fig. \[fi:chart\]) and two flux standard stars of the list of Hamuy et al. (1994) were also obtained. All the objects were observed through a 2 arcsec slit, which was not oriented along the parallactic angle. The relative flux calibration of the spectrum is, hence, uncertain due to light loss by atmospheric dispersion. The absolute flux calibration is uncertain, as well, since the night was not photometric.

Image reduction and calibration followed the typical procedures. The spectrum images were divided by normalized flat–field imagesbuilt from several exposures of the dome illuminated by two light sources with different spectral distribution to provide good signal-to-noise ratio in all the spectral range. Spectra of the SN were extracted and sky subtracted. Special care was taken in fitting the sky underneath the SN profile, since this SN appeared superimposed on a complicated background (See Fig. \[fi:chart\]). The spectra were linearized in wavelength using the HeAr lamp exposures, corrected by atmospheric extinction using the mean extinction curve for CTIO, and calibrated in flux using the sensitivity curve for the night, obtained from the spectrophotometric standards. The two final SN spectra were normalized to the same mean value (multiplying the weakest by a constant), and, finally, combined. Spectra of the three neighboring galaxies were obtained and reduced in


the same way.

The spectrum of the SN is plotted both in Figures \[fi:spec1\], and \[fi:spec2\], and the spectra of the neighboring galaxies are given in Figure \[fi:specg\]. The redshifts for each galaxy, obtained from the average of several emission and/or absorption lines, are, 0.1452, 0.1450, and 0.1462, for galaxies A, B and C, respectively. They agree to within $\pm$360 km s$^{-1}$, confirming that the galaxies are physically associated. Note that narrow, weak \[OII\] ł3727, , and \[OIII\] ł5007 emission lines at z$=$0.146 are also present in the SN spectrum, pointing at a close association with the group.

Although it is not completely clear which of the galaxies was the actual host, circumstantial evidence suggests SN 1992ar was more closely related with galaxies A and/or B than with galaxy C. On the one hand,RMS around the interpolating function is 0.05 mag in this case.

A different K correction is needed for the B magnitude obtained from the discovery plate, since the sensitivity function of the telescope plus plate system is not matched by a standard filter. We used the sensitivity function computed by Pierce & Jacoby (1995) for the Kitt Peak Schmidt telescope plus a IIa0 plate, under the assumption that it must be similar to that of the Tololo Curtis-Schmidt telescope with the same kind of plate. An additional problem in this case is that this sensitivity function is very blue, and it is difficult to find SNe spectra blue enough to cover this passband. According with the different SN type and phase we were trying to replicate, we used literature


coincidence of effective wavelengths of standard filters for a given redshift (Kim, Goobar & Perlmuter 1996), or the construction of new photometric systems which are the redshifted counterparts of the standard one (Schmidt et al. 1998).

The Light Curve
===============

Undilating the time scale using the redshift measured from the emission lines in the nearby galaxies, it is clear that the observed photometry is consistent with that of a SN (see Figure \[fi:lcexample\]). It is clear, also, that the light curve does not correspond to that of a typical Type II plateau event. Finally, it would seem that the confirming spectrum was taken close to maximum light in V. The strong time variation of the K corrections, however, as illustrated in Fig. \[fi:lcexample\], implies that obtaining the correct final light curve requires a decisionof the universe (Perlmutter et al. 1998, Schmidt et al. 1998) because it exemplifies the problem of sample contamination. SN 1992ar shows that there are SNe which are as bright as a Type Ia SN and have a similar light curve near maximum light, but have different intrinsic colors, different color evolution, and do not follow the Light Curve Shape–Luminosity relation used to calibrate the intrinsic luminosity of a Type Ia SN.

One of the earliest and clearest indications that SN 1992ar was a peculiar event was given by its spectrum, which did not display the SiII ł6355 line. If SN 1992ar had been at a redshift larger than $\sim$0.50, however, this line would have been Doppler shifted to $\sim$9200 Å, and the brightness at maximum would have been around R$\sim$23 mag.

Q:

Why is SHA2 used for file verification if it's susceptible to length extension attacks?

Am I misunderstanding length extension attacks, or is there some different reason, or is it really a bad idea to use SHA2 for file verification?
If the answer is that it's really a bad idea, would removing the last 4 bytes be advisable since now the chances of the attack succeeding will be around one in 4 million, and we will have remaining, in the case of SHA512, 480 bits of security?

A:

The use of a hash function for verifying integrity of a file is not impacted by length extension attacks. The setup is the following:

You have a file $m$.
There is a "guaranteed" source for $h(m)$, with $h$ being a hash function. (For instance, you can get

now filed a Fed.R.Civ.P. ("Rule") 56(c) motion for an interlocutory summary judgment on the issue of liability. Both sides have complied with this District Court's LR 56.1,[2] and the issue of liability is fully briefed *825 and ready for decision. For the reasons set out in this opinion, Rouse's motion is granted.

Summary Judgment Standards
Familiar Rule 56 principles impose on Rouse the burden of establishing the absence of a genuine issue of material fact (Celotex Corp. v. Catrett, 477 U.S. 317, 322-23, 106 S.Ct. 2548, 91 L.Ed.2d 265 (1986)). For that purpose this Court must "read[] the record in the light most favorable to the non-moving party," although it "is not required to draw unreasonable inferences from the evidence" (St. Louis N. Joint Venture v. P & L Enters.,That same amendment also granted the lessee renewal options for four consecutive periods of five years each following the termination of the lease.[3] In what has become the source from which the current controversy stems, the 1981 Amendment also added a covenant for continuous operation (referred to there and throughout this opinion as the "Operating Covenant") (R. St. ¶ 14) under which the lessee agreed to operate continuously, or to cause to be operated continuously, a department store on the premises until June 30, 1996 (five years before the then termination date of the lease) (R. St. ¶ 15).
2. On September 1, 1989 (by the "1989 Amendment") Rouse (which had succeeded to Randhurst's ownership in 1988) and a Carson affiliate (then the lessee) extended the term of the


it need not be decided for present purposes) that under Illinois law the covenant is not specifically enforceable (see New Park Forest Assocs. II v. Rogers Enters., Inc., 195 Ill.App.3d 757, 764-65, 142 Ill.Dec. 474, 552 N.E.2d 1215, 1219-20 (1st Dist.1990) and cases cited there), but even a moment's thought discloses that to be a total irrelevancy.
After all, it is only a small segment of the contractual universe that the law *829 treats as specifically enforceable, but any notion that a lack of specific enforceability of a contract somehow correlates with a lack of ability to recover damages for its breach would destroy perhaps the most fundamental principle of contract law. Well before he began his distinguished career on the United States Supreme Court, Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.was letting out this screeching howl that alerted my neighbor," Bob said. "He found me at 6:30 p.m. on New Year's Day."

According to McLaren Northern Hospital, who told Bob's story, he was hypothermic, with a core body temperature under 70 degrees Fahrenheit, in atrial fibrillation, and had a C4-C5 disc herniation.

The disc herniation was in his neck and was compressing the spinal cord, causing weakness or paralysis in his legs.

The emergency department worked to stabilize him and get him to start healing. Bob said it was Kelsey who saved his life that day.

"I was surprised to find out that I didn't have any frost bite," Bob said. "I am sure it was because of Kelsey's determination to keep me warm and safe."

in both cases, $\lim_{t\to \infty}{\mathcal{E}}(M)_t=0$.

From ${\mathcal{E}}(X){\mathcal{E}}(Y)={\mathcal{E}}(X+Y+[X,Y])$ weby using notation from the proof of Proposition \[p:u-6\]\[p:u-6-b\], $${\mathds{E}}_x\left[\int_0^t u(X_s)\, d{\widetilde{A}}_s\right]
        {\leqslant}{\mathds{E}}_x \left[\int_0^t  d{\widetilde{A}}_s\right]
        ={\mathds{E}}_x[{\widetilde{A}}_t]
        {\leqslant}\frac 1\kappa\, {\mathds{E}}_x[A_t],$$ which converges, by assumption, uniformly to zero as $t\to 0$. Thus $u$ is the uniform limit of the continuous functions $x\mapsto {\mathds{E}}_x[u(X_t)]$ and, therefore, itself continuous.

\[ex:BM-radial\] Let $X=(X_t,{\mathds{P}}_x)$ be a Brownian motion in ${\mathds{R}}^d$, $d{\geqslant}3$. Assume that $f:{\mathds{R}}^d \to [0,\infty)$ is bounded and radial, i.e. $f(x)=f(y)$ if $|x|=|y|$. Let $A_t:=\int_0^t f(X_s)\, ds$, set $M_t:=e^{-A_t}$, assume that $A_{\infty}<\infty$ ${\mathds{P}}_x$ a.s., and let $u(x):={\mathds{E}}_x[M_{\infty}]$. Then:

$u$ is radial: Let $|x|=|y|$ and assume that $U$ is a rotation around the origin such that $Ux=y$. Since $f$ is radial, we have $\int_0^{\infty}f(U X_s)\, ds=\int_0^{\infty}


\left(\frac{3|z-x|}{2}\right)^{-d-\alpha} u(x)\\
        &{\geqslant}3^{-2d-3-\alpha}2^{-d-\alpha-1}\widehat{c}(\alpha,d)\big|B(0,1)\big| \rho_0^{d+\alpha} ({\operatorname{diam}}K)^{-d-\alpha} u(x)\\
        &= C(\alpha,d) \left(\frac{\rho_0}{{\operatorname{diam}}K}\right)^{d+\alpha}u(x) =c u(x).
    \end{aligned}$$ Similarly, $u(x){\geqslant}c u(z)$. Together with this proves the theorem.

The constant $C_2$ depends on $d$, $\alpha$ and the ratio $\rho_0/{\operatorname{diam}}K$.

\[l:harmonic-semilocal\] Let $D\subset {\mathds{R}}^d$ be a bounded open set and assume that $F, \Phi$ are two non-negative symmetric functions on ${\mathds{R}}^d\times{\mathds{R}}^d$ vanishing on the diagonal such that $$F(x,y)=\Phi(x,y)
        \quad\text{for all}\quad
        (x,y)\in (D\times{\mathds{R}}^d)\cup ({\mathds{R}}^d\times D).$$ Then $u$ is (regular) $F$-harmonic in $D$ if, and only, if $u$ is (regular) $\Phi$-harmonic in $D$.

Let $A_t=\sum_{s{\leqslant}t}F(X_{s-},X_s)$ and $B_t=\sum_{s{\leqslant}t}\Phi(X_{s-},X_s)$. For any open $V\subseteq D$ we have $X_{s-}\in V\subset D$, and so $F(X_{s-},X_s)=Let $A_t:=\sum_{s{\leqslant}t}F(X_{s-}, X_s)$. If ${\mathds{P}}_x(A_{\infty}<\infty)=1$ for all $x\in {\mathds{R}}^d$, then $\sup_{x\in {\mathds{R}}^d} {\mathds{E}}_x [A_{\infty}]<\infty$.

First note that $F(x,y){\leqslant}C|x-y|^{\beta}$ for all $x,y\in {\mathds{R}}^d$, hence $F\in I(C,\beta)$ and, by Lemma \[l:kato-class\], $F\in J(X)$. Let $M_t=e^{-A_t}$ and $u(x):={\mathds{E}}_x [M_{\infty}]$. Since $X$ is a strong Feller process, it follows from Proposition \[p:u-7\]\[p:u-7-b\] and Lemma \[l:kato-class\] that $u$ is continuous. Moreover, by Lemma \[l:u-4\], $u$ is regular $F$-harmonic in every bounded open set $G\subset {\mathds{R}}^d$. Finally, by Lemma \[l:u-2\], we have that $\lim_{t\to \infty}u(X_t)=1$ ${\mathds{P}}_x$ a.s. According to Proposition \[p:u-6\]\[p:u-6-b\], in order to prove that $\sup_{x\in {\mathds{R}}^d}{\mathds{E}}_x [A_{\infty}]<\infty$ it suffices to show that $u$ is bounded from below by a strictly positive constant.

Let $D=V(0,1,5)=\{x\in {\mathds{R}}^d:\, 1<|x|<5\}$. For $R>1$ set $D_R:=R\cdot D$, $u_R(x)=u(Rx)$, $F_R(x,y)=F(Rx,Ry)$ and $\widehat{F}_R(x,y)=F_R(x,y)$ for $(x,y)\in (D\times {\mathds{R}}^d)\cup ({\mathds{R}}^d\times D)$, and $0$ otherwise.


compact open set $D\subset {\mathds{R}}^d$ and every $x\in D$; this means that $h$ is harmonic on ${\mathds{R}}^d$. Therefore, in order to show that ${\mathcal{I}}$ is ${\mathds{P}}_x$-trivial for all $x\in {\mathds{R}}^d$, it suffices to prove that constants are the only non-negative bounded harmonic functions with respect to $X$. This is equivalent to showing that the (minimal) Martin boundary of ${\mathds{R}}^d$ with respect to $X$ consists of a single point, say $\infty$, cf. [@KW]. For stable Lévy processes this is a well-known fact which follows from $$\label{e:green-limit}
        \lim_{|y|\to \infty}\frac{G(x,y)}{G(x_0,y)}=1.$$ For the purely discontinuous Girsanov transform $\widetilde{X}$ we proceed as follows. First note that because of the conservativeness of $\widetilde{X}$ constant functions are harmonic. It is easy to see that $\widetilde{X}$ satisfies the conditions fromresults in some number of retries followed by a timeout and disconnection from the network.
In that movement or migration of the mobile data processors between base stations may be a frequent and on-going activity for some wireless network applications it can be appreciated that it is important to provide mechanisms to sustain the illusion of a permanent, if virtual, connection of the workstation to the network. To provide such a mechanism it is important to also provide an efficient and reliable method for a given base station to "hand-off" a moving data processor to another base station without loss of connection from the network and without a loss of data being directed from the network to the mobile data processor.
In U.S. Pat. No. 4,456,793, issued Jun. 26, 1984,


broached the subject of a release of civil claims.45   On the day set for trial, Haynesworth and his new counsel met Schwartz, Lyddane, and Mooney on their way to Miller's office for another conference on the case, and Schwartz stated that potential civil litigation was an obstacle to dismissal of the charge.46   At the conference, Miller, without any reference to waiver, reiterated his intention to press the disorderly conduct charge.47

11
The charge against Haynesworth, like those against Hancock, was ultimately dismissed, "but only after further demands to supervisory officials and the threat of a suit."48   Haynesworth alleges that the charge would have been dropped at the outset but for the tacit policy of retaliation that prevailed in the Corporation Counsel's office and thecourt.75   He contends that this course of conduct violated the First and Fifth Amendments.76   Appellees do not dispute that dismissal of criminal charges cannot constitutionally be predicated upon the putative defendant's willingness to release civil claims against public servants, nor do they contest Haynesworth's ability to challenge this sort of prosecution policy in a Bivens-type action.  We agree that the retaliatory prosecution constitutes an actionable First Amendment wrong77 redressable under Bivens, but we feel that some elaboration on this conclusion is in order.

21
The Supreme Court has recognized that, embedded in the First Amendment right to "petition the government for a redress of grievances,"78 is entitlement to seek recompense in the courts.79   We ourselves have recently concluded that initiation of a prosecution


of their subordinates.108   Analytically, high-level public officials, are not employers of their subordinates but rather are fellow governmental servants, and it thus is inappropriate to hold them liable on the basis of respondeat superior.

32
We also concur in the District Court's dismissal of the claims against Jefferson.  He took office as Chief of Police as the events in question drew to a close, and was properly dismissed from the litigation because the complaint does not adequately allege any failing on his part.109   However remiss he may have been in failing to remedy the District's alleged policy of retaliatory prosecution--a matter on which we intimate no view--no corrective action on his part could have aided Haynesworth since the harm he asserts had already taken place.

33
Haynesworth'scontexts failure of an official to safeguard against constitutional transgressions by those under his control constitutes an actionable wrong under Bivens and Section 1983.  The party seeking to impose liability must demonstrate that the official had an obligation to supervise or train the wrongdoer in the manner alleged, that the duty was breached, and that this breach was a proximate cause of the injury.111   But while there is consensus on the existence of an actionable duty in this regard, the contours of that duty are unclear.112

36
This court held in Carter v. Carlson113 that a police chief would be liable for negligent failure to prevent constitutional impingements by his subordinates, thereby implying that such officials have a duty to supervise and train to foreclose all reasonably


directive of the Corporation Counsel's Office,155 both reflecting disapproval of the practice of retaliatory prosecution, and argues that Miller's actions taken in derogation of these authorities do not merit immunity.  We believe Haynesworth presumes a sphere of protected activity far narrower than that countenanced by the caselaw.

52
The Supreme Court has staked out expansive boundaries for official immunity, so that a governmental employee forfeits protection only when he acts "manifestly or palpably beyond his authority."156   Under this standard, the conduct at issue did not destroy Miller's immunity.  As Chief of the Law Enforcement Section, Miller possessed authority to establish and implement policies governing criminal prosecutions.157   Since Haynesworth's claim for damages against Miller rests on the establishment and implementation of prosecution policy, the activitieslikelihood that official energies would be diverted by the threat of suit,170 and the availability of alternative mechanisms to ward off misconduct.171   Its analysis of the officials' activities led the Court to conclude that they too warranted absolute protection.

57
The Imbler Court did not hold, however, that a prosecutor enjoys absolute immunity for all conduct within the scope of his authority.  Rather, the Court determined only that complete protection from liability is appropriate when the prosecutor acts in the capacity of an advocate.172   While the Court adverted to several circuit court decisions extending only qualified immunity to prosecutors engaged in investigative activities,173 it did not decide whether non-advocatory conduct merited lesser protection.  The Court also declined to delineate the parameters of the protected


rulings of this court and other circuits mapping out the area of absolute immunity, but we recognize that this case presents a unique species of prosecutorial conduct191 that must be assessed on its own under the standards of Imbler.

61
Haynesworth alleged harm resulting both from promulgation of a general agenda of retaliatory prosecution and from implementation of that policy against him in a criminal proceeding.  We do not hesitate to extend to Miller absolute protection from liability for the latter conduct, since Imbler explicitly held that initiation of a criminal prosecution is absolutely protected from a suit for damages.192   As to the formulation of general policies on prosecution, however, we find Imbler provides less clear guidance regarding the degree of immunity that should attach.  Itthrough more informal channels.232

72
(b) Sufficiency of the Allegations Against the District of

Columbia

73
The District Court, in dismissing Haynesworth's claim against the District of Columbia, stated that he had failed to show that the activities complained of had been authorized by policymaking officials.233   The court adverted to the existence of the policy directive prohibiting retaliatory prosecution, as well as to the ultimate dismissal of the charges against Haynesworth by supervisory officials, in an effort to support its conclusion that the practice of retaliatory prosecution was unauthorized.234   While we agree that those factors were relevant in determining whether municipal liability should attach, we deem them insufficient to defeat the claim against the District at the outset of this litigation.

Viewed in the light most favorable to Haynesworth,235 we

They attempted to distinguish Imbler by stressing that the Attorney General did not play a direct role in the proceedings;  rather, liability was asserted on the ground that the Attorney General conspired with others to incite the prosecution.  Id. at 407-408 n. 13, 660 F.2d at 806-807 n. 13.  We disposed of the conspiracy charge succinctly:
This distinction makes no difference to the determination of immunity.  So long as the Attorney General is initiating or instituting a prosecution, he is absolutely immune.  Indeed, by the issuance of general instructions the Attorney General may be causally responsible for the initiation of prosecutions against members of various groups, such as mobsters, white collar criminals, or labor


union officials believed to be corrupt.  Such instructions can issue from conversations with subordinate officials of the Justice Department.  These conversations could, within the theory advanced by the plaintiffs in this case, be characterized as constituting a "conspiracy" to initiate a malicious prosecution.  To subject an Attorney General to suits of this kind would surely offend the principles of Imbler v. Pachtman.
Id.;  cf. Hamilton v. Daley, supra note 185, 777 F.2d at 1213 n. 5 ("[s]ince absolute immunity protects prosecutorial decisions, supervision of the prosecutors who make these decisions is similarly immune").

195
 We recognize that a decision to institute prosecutions against classes of offenders may not entail an analysis of evidentiary matter, and that it was the evidentiary feature that led some courts toof an unwritten policy of general application may be more difficult to prove than a formal edict promulgated through official channels, once established it provides a basis for fastening liability on the municipality

A radiologic-anatomic study was performed to determine the nature of the low-signal-intensity curvilinear structures currently seen in the normal parotid gland on axial T1-weighted magnetic resonance (MR) images. These structures are considered by some to represent the intraparotid facial nerve. After cannulation of the Stensen duct, the authors imaged the parotid gland of two cadavers in situ before and after intraductal injection of gadolinium tetrazacyclododecanetetraacetic acid. Retrograde filling was obtained in one gland. The same sections were used throughout a subsequent anatomic study, allowing correlation of the MR findings with the macroscopic and histologic appearance of the gland. Comparison of MR images and gross and histologic sections established that two intraparotid facial nerve segments, although

Others question whether bills like South Dakota's SB 55 would open the door for teachers with extremist views to share them with children, notes The Argus Leader.

"Let's say I believe in eugenics," said South Dakota high school science teacher Deb Wolf, according to the Leader. "[SB 55] says that I couldn't be prohibited, I couldn't be stopped from teaching that as long as I did it in an objective scientific manner, and it doesn't specify what that means."

$$
\begin{bmatrix}n+1\\k\end{bmatrix}_A = a_n\begin{bmatrix}n\\k\end{bmatrix}_A + \begin{bmatrix}n\\k-1\end{bmatrix}_A

Proof - By the generating function:
$$
x^{\overline{n+1}}_A = x^{\overline{n}}_A (x + a_n) = x \ x^{\overline{n}}_A + n x^{\overline{n}}_A

The coefficient of $ x^k $ on the far left is $ \begin{bmatrix}n+1\\k\end{bmatrix}_A $ , while on the right side it is $ \begin{bmatrix}n\\k-1\end{bmatrix}_A + a_n\begin{bmatrix}n\\k\end{bmatrix}_A $ , therefore the recurrence holds. $ \tag*{$\blacksquare$} $
Simple Identities:
The $ k $th elementary symmetric polynomial may be defined as:

These given sums are then variations on the normal $ k $-tuple sum:

SANTA MONICA (CBSLA.com) — Twin brothers were sentenced to Wednesday in connection with the stabbing of a Los Angeles man.

Anthony and Conrad Sowash, both 27 of Los Angeles, each pleaded guilty one count of assault with a deadly weapon on Feb. 3. At their sentencing Wednesday, Anthony was sentenced to six years in state prison and his brother was sentenced to time served and placed on probation, Santa Monica police Sgt. Jay Moroso said.

The stabbing happened in early July 4, 2013 in the 3000 block of Santa Monica Boulevard when the Sowash brothers and two female friends began talking with a group of students from a local university. One of the brothers apparently asked for a cigarette and a lighter, and the conversation somehow escalated into a


Introduction {#s0005}
============

Understanding the genesis of spatially and temporally structured brain rhythms is a crucial matter in neuroscience ([@bib63], [@bib66]). In vitro studies have shown that the cortical tissue is excitable, displaying the emergence of coherent oscillations under specific medium conditions while the single neurons fire only intermittently at lower (or higher) frequency ([@bib13], [@bib26]). Detailed computational models of spiking neurons have helped to investigate how neurons (and interneurons) connected in specific network topologies can generate firing patterns replicating electrophysiological measurements ([@bib1], [@bib25], [@bib12]). The frequency of such oscillations is determined by time constants such as the feedback delay (relying on the excitatory-inhibitory loop), the synaptic time constants (delay and rise) and the axonal transmission times. Furthermore, the ratio of time scales of excitatory and inhibitory currents and the(with associated time-delays) serve as the structural support for a multistable regime, in which the system switches between the local node dynamics and global network dynamics with particular spectral properties.

In particular, [@bib18] have proposed that envelope correlations of alpha- and beta-band oscillations are originated by the metastable large-scale synchronization of locally generated gamma-band oscillations at 40 Hz. This relies on the fact that, due to the presence of delays in the order of 10 ms, the collective oscillations are more stable at reduced frequencies falling in the alpha and beta ranges ([@bib49]). Although this model provides an insightful mechanistic explanation for the phenomena observed in resting-state MEG, whether this mechanism actually occurs in the brain remains uncertain.

In this work we propose two novel candidate scenarios to explain the envelope correlations


separation. To attenuate interference originating outside of the scalp, signal space separation was applied to each data set using MaxFilter, applying its temporal extension as introduced in [@bib59]. Data was once again converted to SPM8 format and remaining noisy segment and channels were excluded from further analysis, once again through visual inspection. In order to identify and remove signal originating from mains interference, ocular- and cardiac activity, as well as other non-neuronal interference each data set was then submitted to Blind Source Separation by temporal Independent Component Analysis (ICA), a tool that has been shown effective at separating artefactual signals from MEG sensor data ([@bib48]). Following [@bib48] we used the FastICA algorithm ([@bib41], [@bib62]) as implemented in the FastICA toolbox for MATLAB (<http://research.ics.aalto.fi/ica/fastica/>). Each independent component (IC) wasof the global level of synchronization between envelopes (see *Methods* for details). These three measures were calculated for each carrier frequency considered in this study: *f*~*carrier*~=4:2:28 Hz in windows \[*f*~*carrier*~-2 Hz, *f*~*carrier*~+2 Hz\]. We performed the same analysis on both empirical and model data. [Fig. 1](#f0005){ref-type="fig"} sketches the general processing pipeline. [Fig. 2](#f0010){ref-type="fig"} describes the analysis pipeline for computing the three measures, namely the Envelope FC, the CCD and the metastability.

Single-frequency model {#s0065}
----------------------

As a first step, we started by evaluating the performance of the classical model, considering only one fundamental oscillation frequency at a time, identical for all brain areas, varying *f*~*f*~ between 1 and 29 Hz with increments of 2 Hz (See [Fig. 3](#f0015){ref-type="fig"}A). For each fundamental frequency considered, we analysed the resulting simulations in all carrier frequency bands. In [Fig.


weak temporal similarities) together with a long tail towards high CCD values, indicating the existence of periods of high similarity between CC states. Moreover, as can be seen in the right plot, the synchrony degree of envelope phases fluctuates strongly over time (i.e. high metastability) meaning that envelopes synchronize and desynchronize over time. In the model (bottom), a similar temporal dynamics of envelope connectivity is achieved for *G*=0.5*,* where interactions between brain areas through the structural connectome in the presence of noise lead to temporary excursions to the oscillatory state. Constant transitions in and out of the oscillatory state induce correlated envelope fluctuations of 12 Hz oscillations between structurally connected brain areas (as seen in the envelope FC matrix). Over time, we observe similar fluctuations in the synchrony degreelevels and has the capacity to generate oscillations in a broad range of frequencies within a brain area, a multi-frequency model may be formulated, as sketched in [Fig. 3](#f0015){ref-type="fig"} (right). In this framework, spontaneously generated oscillations interact in the structural network*,* giving rise to structured amplitude envelopes with fluctuating phase coherence (i.e. metastability) in all frequency ranges.

Previously, in [Fig. 4](#f0020){ref-type="fig"}B, we observed that a shift in the fundamental frequency of the Hopf model led to an associated shift in the frequency at which the envelopes correlate the most and where the corresponding phase coherence fluctuated the most. Moreover, as shown in [Fig. 5](#f0025){ref-type="fig"}, the scaling of the coupling strength G allows fine-tuning the amount of metastability and the associated dynamics of Phase coherence states (as captured by the


with what is observed in the empirical data ([@bib36]). One way of overcoming this is to adjust the likelyhood that an area will resonate at each frequency by tuning the bifurcation parameter of each area *a*~*j*~ for each fundamental frequency (e.g. informed by empirical MEG data). Importantly, what we learn from this model is that, unless other network mechanisms generate more frequencies in the system (as in [@bib15]), multiple independent rhythm generators must be incorporated in future whole-brain network models in order to investigate the properties observed in resting-state MEG recordings at different frequency levels.

Cross-frequency interactions {#s0100}
----------------------------

In the multi-frequency model, we assumed *no* cross-frequency interactions. Actually, whether or not there is long-range coupling between different frequency bands in the brain remains under debate ([@bib19], [@bib24], [@bib4]). Indeed, evenA randomized trial of aerobic versus resistance exercise in prostate cancer survivors.
Androgen-deprivation therapy (ADT) for prostate cancer (PCa) has side effects that significantly impair health-related quality of life (HRQOL). Exercise ameliorates many side effects of ADT, but different modalities, particularly in the home-based setting, have not been well studied. In this study the authors randomly assigned 66 PCa survivors receiving ADT to 6 mo of home-based aerobic or resistance training. Psychosocial well-being and physical fitness were measured at baseline, 3 and 6 mo, and then 6 mo postintervention. Intention-to-treat analyses showed that fatigue and HRQOL were not significantly different between groups; however, in a per-protocol analysis the resistance-exercise training group demonstrated clinically significant improvements in HRQOL. Differential within-group effects on physical fitness were also observed at various time

Never Trump presidential candidate Bill Weld was only able to raise $688,000 during the second quarter of 2019.

Weld, the former Republican governor of Massachusetts and failed 2016 Libertarian candidate, launched his challenge against Trump for the GOP presidential nomination in the middle of April.

So, over ten weeks, Weld was not even able to raise $10,000 a day.

ABC News reports that Weld had 7,000 individual donors, which means the average donation was just $98.

Weld’s senior adviser is Never Trumper Stuart Stevens, the man who oversaw Mitt Romney’s disastrous 2012 presidential campaign, and he tells ABC that everything is going exactly according to plan.

After telling ABC he is “satisfied” with this catastrophic failure to raise money, Stevens said the following, presumably with a straight face:

 hyperadrenergic POTS do not have this genome mutation, epigenetic modification at this gene locus which decreases expression of the NET protein has also been associated with POTS patients. Bayles et al. demonstrated that the promoter of the *SCL6A2* gene was especially sensitive to histone modifications that downregulated expression of this protein (Bayles et al., [@B1]). The data here demonstrates inhibition of the norepinephrine clearance transporters, which is a mechanism of many psychotropic medications, predisposes individuals to elevated levels of upright norepinephrine and can produce a typical POTS phenotype.

There is also some data that the parasympathetic system may contribute to the tachycardia in POTS. Furlan et al. reported that high frequency R-R interval variability (0.15--0.4 Hz), a marker of parasympathetic activity, was reduced in POTS patients compared to healthy


impaired lower extremity sympathetic innervations, abnormal venous pooling, a hypovolemic state with inadequate RAAS upregulation, cutaneous blood flow dysregulation, and also increased plasma Ang-II levels. In recent years, pathophysiology research for POTS has shifted toward work on the RAAS, and considerable emphasis has been placed on the Ang-II/ACE2/Ang(1-7) axis (Stewart et al., [@B53], [@B52]; Mustafa et al., [@B31], [@B32]).

As the etiology of POTS is not completely understood, it is unclear if the Ang-II/ACE2/Ang(1-7) axis is the unifying pathologic mechanism that drives the pathophysiology for all the manifestations of POTS that do not as of yet have a crystal-clear explanation. Alternatively, the manifestations for each variant may simply be one of several but typical downstream responses to a defective Ang-II/ACE2/Ang(1-7) axis or another unifying pathologic mechanism. If so, thenfor complex $\alpha$. Here $X$ and $Y$ are any $2N$-by-$2N$ complex matrices. The dual reverses multiplication, $$\left(XY\right)^{\sharp}=Y^{\sharp}X^{\sharp}.$$ It undoes itself, $$\left(X^{\sharp}\right)^{\sharp}=X$$ and commutes with the adjoint $$\left(X^{\sharp}\right)^{*}=\left(X^{*}\right)^{\sharp}.$$

Every matrix $G$ in $\mathbf{M}_{2N}(\mathbb{C})$ can we expressed in a unique way as $$G=X+iY$$ with $X$ and $Y$ being quaternionic matrices.

Given $G$ we set $$X=\frac{1}{2}G^{\sharp*}+\frac{1}{2}G$$ and $$Y=\frac{i}{2}G^{\sharp*}-\frac{i}{2}G.$$

Kramers degeneracy and Schur factorization
==========================================

Eigenvalue doubling is a key feature of self-dual, self-adjoint matrices. In physics this is called the Kramers degeneracy theorem, or the theory of Kramers pairs [@kramers1930theorie; @wigner1932uber; @mehta2004random]. This generalizes in two ways, to give eigenvalue doubling given the symmetry $X=X^{\sharp}$ and conjugate-pairing of eigenvalues given the symmetry $X^{*}=X^{\sharp}$.

Such a collection of paired eigenvectors will, in good situations, form a unitary matrix. If $U$ is unitary matrix that satisfies the quaternionic condition


then it satisfies another symmetry making it symplectic, specifically $U^{\mathrm{T}}ZU=Z$.

\[lem:SymplecticUnitaryStructure\] Suppose U is a unitary $2N$-by-$2N$ matrix. The following are equivalent:

1.  $U$ is symplectic;

2.  $U^{*}=U^{\sharp}$;

3.  $Z\overline{U}=UZ$;

4.  $U\circ\mathcal{T}=\mathcal{T}\circ U$;

5.  If $\mathbf{v}$ is column $j$ of $U$ for $j\leq N$ then column $N+j$ of $U$ is $\mathcal{T}\left(v\right)$.

This follows easily from Lemma \[lem:QuaternionicCondition\].

We need to know that the group of symplectic unitary acts transitively on $\mathbb{C}^{n}$.

\[lem:transitivity\] If $\mathbf{v}$ is any unit vector in $\mathbb{C}^{2N}$ then there is a symplectic unitary with $U\mathbf{e}_{1}=\mathbf{v}$.

Let $\mathbf{v}_{1}=\mathbf{v}$. We use (\[eq:TRoperatorPreservesOrtho\]) and (\[eq:TR-orthogonality\]) to select in order vectors that are an orthonormal basis for $\mathbb{C}^{2N}$, but of the form $$\mathbf{v}_{1},\mathcal{T}\mathbf{v}_{1},\mathbf{v}_{2},\mathcal{T}\mathbf{v}_{2},\dots,\mathbf{v}_{N},\mathcal{T}\mathbf{v}_{N}.$$ If we reorder to $$\mathbf{v}_{1},\mathbf{v}_{2},\dots,\mathbf{v}_{N},\mathcal{T}\mathbf{v}_{1},\mathcal{T}\mathbf{v}_{2},\dots,\mathcal{T}\mathbf{v}_{N}$$ we have the columns of the desired symplectic unitary.

Patent Application 1 discloses a technique of automatically switching error correction methods by using specific parameters (error rate and transmission rate) to correct errors due to communication data transmission error which occurs over communication network systems. More specifically, received data is decoded to calculate the parameters (error rate/transmission rate), and if the parameters do not exceed their threshold values, the ARQ technique is automatically selected. On the other hand, if the parameters exceed the threshold values, the FEC is automatically selected. With this arrangement, according to the state of the data transmission rate and the transmission efficiency, the most efficient error correction method is automatically selected, and network traffic load


the FEC technique is available is evaluated. If the correction is available, self correction is performed. If the correction is unavailable where the transmission rate is 4800 bps, an ARQ retransmission request is issued. In addition, the number of times the retransmission is performed is monitored, and if the number is large, which means line quality is low, the transmission rate is decreased to 4800 bps, and the ARQ and FEC techniques are concurrently used. When the transmission rate is 4800 bps, if the number of times the retransmission is performed is increased, which means line quality is further decreased, the transmission rate is decreased to 2400 bps, and the FEC mode is selected (see paragraph 0014 and 0015 of Patent Application 2).

Article

Safety and Efficacy of High-Dose Unfractionated Heparin for Prevention of Venous Thromboembolism in Overweight and Obese Patients

Lead author: Mishna Joy

Available online pre-publication from the journal Pharmacotherapy

Objective

The authors sought to determine the safety and efficacy of high-dose subcutaneous unfractionated heparin (UFH) for prevention of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in overweight and obese patients.

Methods

The study was a single-center, retrospective, observational cohort study. It was completed in an academic tertiary care center and examined 1335 adult patients who weighed over 100 kg. Patients received either subcutaneous UFH 7500 units every 8low-dose group.

Conclusion

The authors concluded that:

Administering a higher dose of heparin to patients weighing more than 100 kg may not impart additional efficacy in reducing the incidence of VTE. However, it may increase the risk for bleeding.

Discussion

The authors included ICU and medical floor patients in the study. Curiously, they found that bleeding complications occurred more frequently in the medical floor patients compared to ICU patients. I was surprised that an increase in efficacy for VTE prevention did not accompany the higher risk of bleeding in patients in the high-dose group. The authors fell a few hundred patients short of their stated goal to achieve 80% power; therefore the increased need for transfusion may apply to all BMI categories. A larger, multi-center study could help determine this.

Drug information question

“Pharmacy Brendon”


in the Pharmacy Nation Slack group asks:

Q: Has anyone seen a document that correlates vitamin K dose to INR lowering? (i.e 1 mg lowers INR by X on average)

A: This reference cited by the CHEST guidelines is the closest I’ve seen.

The reference states for non-bleeding patients:

A recent cumulative analysis of the available literature does suggest, however, that the optimal dose of oral vitamin K is 1–1.25 mg for patients with INR values between 4.5–10.0, and 2.5 mg for patients with INR values of more than 10.0.

Resource

The American College of Cardiology maintains a table that lists the effects of the non-vitmain K antagonist oral anticoagulants on various anticoagulation assays.

100 Degrees In The Shade

It’s been so hot, brain denaturing hot, and I don’t have A/C, so all I can do is lie here on my futon and let my hurricane fan blow down on me. It’s too hot to read anything that invokes heat, which means no romances for me for awhile (I’m finishing up The Long Tail instead). Maybe I’ll pick up Annie Proulx’s The Shipping News, which a friend once told me “just makes you feel cold” as you read about Quoyle’s life in Killick-Claw.

What books affect your temperature—whether invoking the heat or a chill—when you read them? Does this affect when you read them?

Some books just don't feel right to read during certain seasons-Persuasion and Sense & Sensibility are very autumn


three dogs and two cats - in boarding, which would be quite expensive, or giving them away to new homes. For Sweet, this simply wasn't an option. "We need our critters," Sweet told The Dodo. "They are a huge emotional support. It helps to have them to snuggle up to."

Ariel is a 10-year-old shepherd mix born to a dog who was rescued during Hurricane Katrina. Sweet's neighbors took the mother in, not knowing she was pregnant, and Sweet took in Ariel once she was old enough to be adopted. She is a loving pup, protective of Sweet, and definitely the alpha of the pack.

Sweet adopted Vici, a 5-year-old Blue Russian mix, from the Maryland SPCA and, later, Isabella,he was bullied and wanted to buy a gun and kill classmates.

The NYPD arrested him Wednesday night after the department’s Computer Crimes Unit was tipped off to the threat.

The teen tried multiple times to purchase a gun online and was in possession of a bulletproof vest, police said.

The NYPD didn't immediately say which school the teen was attending.

The arrest comes amid a renewed debate about how to keep students and educators across the country safe a week after a shooting at a high school in Parkland, Florida, killed 17 people.

In the wake of the shooting, students have joined gun control supporters and Second Amendment advocates in debating the best way to secure the nation's schools. Some students have planned marches and staged walkouts under the hashtag #NeverAgain.

Times podcast that detainers issued by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency are unconstitutional.

The claim was made September 18 by Michael Barbaro on The New York Times' podcast, "The Daily," and its guest, Times reporter Caitlin Dickerson.

The podcast was based on Dickerson's earlier story on Sergio Jose Martinez, "an illegal immigrant who has been deported to Mexico 20 times and has been arrested 10 times this year. His release after a recent stint in jail ... illustrated a fundamental issue in the relationship between local authorities and federal immigration authorities."

The sheriff in Portland, Oregon, let Martinez go one day. Martinez then attacked two women on July 24.

Dickerson said, bluntly, that detaining Martinez for up to 48 hours after his jail term would have violated the Constitution. After

introduced a "dance drama" category, which combines physical theatre with Irish dance. A 200-word story is read and followed by a six-minute dance performance including costumes, mime and facial expression.

Some dance schools recognised by An Coimisiún Le Rincí Gaelacha place as much emphasis on céilí dancing as on solo dancing, meticulously rehearsing the dances as written in the book and striving for perfect interpretation. In competition, figure dancers are expected to dance their routine in perfect unison, forming seamless yet intricate figures based on their positions relative to each other.

Costume
The development of Irish stepdance costumes occurred throughout the 20th century alongside the dance style itself. Costumes were thus heavily influenced by the rules and competitive structures put in place by An Coimisiún and other organisations. In more recent


is a competitive step dance event. The word "feis" means "festival" in Irish, and traditionally consists of dancing competitions as well as competition in music and traditional crafts. Many modern feiseanna, however, are solely Irish dancing events. At a feis, several grades of competition are typically offered, in accordance with regional practice and the rules of the governing organisation. These grades may be based on a dancer's level of experience or their previous results in feiseanna. A feis competition is generally judged by between one and three adjudicators, depending on the size of the event and local organisation rules. Dancers compete in sections of one solo dance at a time, and feiseanna may also include competitions for ceili dances.

Where did the higher-skill jobs go? Both large and small companies are "quietly increasing off-shoring efforts."

Ten years ago we were told we really didn't need manufacturing because it can be done more cheaply elsewhere, that auto workers and others should move to information age jobs. But now the information jobs are moving offshore, too, as well as marketing research and even many varieties of innovation.

The flight overseas includes professional as well as low-wage jobs, with engineering jobs offshored to India and China. Thousands of bright Asian engineers are willing to work for a fraction of U.S. wages, which is why Boeing just signed a 10-year, $1-billion-a-year deal with a government-run company in India.

the volume of
high-dimensional convex bodies are very hard to approximate by the
"natural" method of approximating the boundary by a simple smooth
object: the number of parameters to do so grows too fast. For the
volume, one can use random walks: an appropriate random walk on the
space is stopped and we record whether we stopped inside or outside
the object. The ratio of these events can be used to estimate the
volume. Unfortunately this does not work for the surface area. The
very cute idea of the Belkin et al paper is to put a heat source
inside the object, and observe the amount of heat that leaks outside:
this will be proportional to the area

Of course there are lots of technical difficulties, but they can be overcome.

To evaluate the outcome of silicone intubation and tube removal in external dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) patients with distal canalicular or common canalicular obstruction. Seventy-five eyes of 69 patients with distal or common canalicular obstruction who had undergone external DCR and silicone tube insertion were included in the study. Silicone tube was left in place at least for 3 months. Presence of epiphora was questioned and patency was assessed by irrigation at each control after tube removal. Mean patient age was 49.8±14.4 years (range 15-78) and mean follow-up after surgery was 13.2±4.2 months (range 6-25). After tube removal, 16 eyes (21.3%) presented with epiphora and occluded canalicular systems. Two eyes (2.7%) presented with epiphora which

In this review we focus on key renal miRNAs with the aim of revealing the pathomechanisms of renal diseases. Nucleic acid therapy with oligonucleotides and short interfering RNA (siRNA) are under clinical evaluation presently. Similar therapeutic strategies, to influence miRNA function is also already under clinical investigation in RNA interference trials. We summarize here studies specifically aimed at the modification of miRNA expression. Research on the post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression by miRNA may reshape our understanding of renal pathophysiology and consequently may bring new diagnostic markers and therapeutic agents.


minor concessions to IPSO as if Moses has forced it into wholesale submission. In fact, it will continue as an utterly compromised and toothless industry creature, just like its predecessors, wholly incapable of holding a powerful industry to account. The only protection – both for ordinary people whose lives are trashed to boost circulations, and for journalists who want to pursue hard-hitting, watchdog journalism – will come from the Leveson mechanisms rooted in the Royal Charter, which could well be up and running by the summer.

That, of course, assumes that a majority Conservative government does not reward its newspaper allies, renege on David Cameron’s personal pledge to victims, and sweep away the whole cross-party consensus.

However, since there is also a competition effect between the endocrine at the effective active sites, the removal effect of the hybrid microspheres deteriorated. The adsorption amount of the hybrid microspheres was lower than that in the unit system. This is due to the competitive relationship between BPA and SMX in the mixed system. By comparing the binary system and the unit system at the same concentration, the hybrid microspheres preferentially adsorbed BPA. The results are probably due to the higher negative charge of SMX than BPA, while some of the SMX adsorption sites were occupied by BPA


As you might recall, last week I published a thing on the hero win rate shifts of 6.81. At the time, I said that the biggest mystery of the patch is Pudge’s win rate increase. Well, that mystery has not abated over the past week, so I want to take some time to examine the potential suspects and see how their alibis stack up.

First the facts. At the time of this draft, Pudge has exhibited the largest win rate boost on Dotabuff in the 6.81 patch period at 3.94%. This is odd because the usual culprit for shifts this large are official balance changes, and Pudge received none. He also, as far as I can tell, received no direct or indirect buffs bugfixes that would have driven anSecrets (Brian Culbertson album)
