"\n\nMSC (2010) codes: Primary: 22E65; Secondary: 58B99, 58J20, 58J40\n\n[**Introduction**]{}\n====================\n\nThe purpose of this survey is to emphasize algebraic aspects of Chern–Weil and Chern–Simons theory in infinite dimensions. ",
"The main open questions concern the classification or even existence of nontrivial Ad-invariant functions on the Lie algebra of some infinite-dimensional Lie groups that naturally appear in differential geometry and mathematical physics. ",
"These groups include gauge groups of vector bundles, diffeomorphism groups of manifolds, groups of bounded invertible pseudodifferential operators, and semidirect products of these groups. ",
"They typically appear as the structure groups of manifolds of maps between manifolds (e.g., in string theory) and in the setup of the Atiyah–Singer families index theorem. ",
"In effect, this article is a plea by a geometer for help from the experts in Lie groups.",
"\n\nAs reviewed in Section 2, Chern–Weil theory is a well-established procedure to pass from an Ad-invariant polynomial $p$ on the Lie algebra of a finite-dimensional Lie group $G$ defined over a field $k$ to an element $c_p\\in H^*(BG,k)$, the cohomology of the classifying space $BG$. For the classical compact connected groups over $\\C$, this correspondence is an isomorphism. ",
"For a $G$-bundle $P\\to B$ classified by a map $f:B\\to BG$, the class $c_p(P) = f^*c_p\\in H^*(B,\\C)$ is by definition the characteristic class of $P$ associated to $p$. For $G = U(n), SO(n)$, these are the Chern classes and Pontrjagin classes, respectively. ",
"They are used extensively in differential geometry, algebraic geometry and differential topology. ",
"Characteristic classes are obstructions to bundle triviality, i.e., they vanish on trivial bundles. ",
"When a Chern class of a bundle vanishes, the precise obstruction information for that class is unavailable, but there is a chance to obtain more refined geometric information. ",
"To begin, one can directly construct a de Rham representative $C_p(P)$ of $c_p(P)$ from a connection on $P$; this is often also called Chern–Weil theory. ",
"The advantage of the geometric approach is that one can in theory, and sometimes in practice, explicitly compute this de Rham representative from knowledge of the curvature of the connection.",
"\n\nIf $C_p(P)$ vanishes pointwise, a very strong condition, then there is a secondary or Chern–Simons class $TC_p(P)\\in H^*(B,\\C/\\Z)$. As opposed to the topologically defined Chern classes, the Chern–Simons classes depend on the choice of connection, and so are inherently geometric objects. ",
"When defined, the Chern–Simons classes are obstructions to a trivial bundle admitting a trivialization by flat sections of a connection. ",
"Thus the secondary classes are more subtle and correspondingly harder to work with than with the primary/Chern classes. ",
"They notably appear as the generators of the integer cohomology of the classical groups.",
"\n\nInfinite-dimensional manifolds such as loop spaces $LM$ of manifolds and mapping spaces ${{\\rm Maps}(N,M)}$ between manifolds occur frequently in mathematical physics. ",
"Here the structure group of the tangent or frame bundle is an infinite-dimensional Lie group, the gauge group of a finite rank bundle. ",
"More generally, a finite rank bundle $E\\to M$ over the total space of a fibration $M\\to B$ of manifolds, the setup of the Atiyah–Singer families index theorem, naturally leads to an infinite rank bundle $\\calE\\to B$ with a more complicated structure group. ",
"In light of physicists’ intriguing formal manipulations with path integrals, in particular their quick non-rigorous proofs of the Atiyah–Singer index theorem using loop spaces [@atiyah], it is natural to look for a good theory of characteristic classes of infinite rank vector bundles.",
"\n\nThere are several immediate pitfalls. ",
"The fiber of such a bundle, an infinite-dimensional vector space, comes with many inequivalent norm topologies, in contrast to finite-dimensional vector spaces. ",
"As a result, the topology of the fiber has to be specified carefully. ",
"If the topology is compatible with a Hilbert space structure on the model fiber $\\calH$, it is tempting to take as structure group $GL(\\calH)$, the group of bounded invertible operators with bounded inverse. ",
"However, unlike in finite dimensions, $GL(\\calH)$ is contractible, so every $GL(\\calH)$ bundle is trivial. ",
"This kills the theory of Chern classes in this generality.",
"\n\nOf course, $GL(\\calH)$ contains many interesting subgroups with nontrivial topology. ",
"In particular, if a subgroup $G$ consists of determinant class operators, then one can try to form the characteristic classes associated to the invariant polynomial $\\Tr( A^k)$ for $A$ in the Lie algebra of trace class operators; after all, for finite rank complex bundles, these polynomials form a generating set for the algebra of $U(n)$-invariant polynomials. ",
"However, in infinite dimensions, these classes are generally noncomputable, in the sense that operator traces are rarely given by e.g., integrals of pointwise calculable expressions. ",
"In particular, it will usually be impossible to tell if these Chern classes vanish or not. ",
"Notice that we are not even considering the more difficult topological approach of working with $BG$.\n\nIn summary, in infinite dimensions we do not expect a version of Chern–Weil theory that applies to all bundles. ",
"Instead, we should look for naturally occurring structure groups with nontrivial topology, and we should look for computable Ad-invariant functions.",
"\n\nAs with the example $\\Tr(A^k)$, traces on the Lie algebra of a group give rise to invariant functions. ",
"For gauge groups, a wide class of traces is known and these “tend to be\" computable. ",
"However, the determination of all invariant functions is open. ",
"This gives us a theory of characteristic classes on mapping spaces, the subject of Section 3, and allows us to determine some nontrivial cohomology of mapping spaces.",
"\n\nThis theory is not as geometric as desired, in the sense that natural connections on mapping spaces are not compatible with a gauge group, but instead are ${\\Psi_{0}^*}$-connections for a larger group ${\\Psi_{0}^*}$ of pseudodifferential operators. ",
"This larger group has fewer traces, which in fact have been classified. (",
"An excellent reference for pseudodifferential operators and traces is [@scott].) ",
"Again, it is not known if there are Ad-invariant functions not arising from traces.",
"\n\nIt turns out that the Pontrjagin classes vanish for ${{\\rm Maps}(N,M)}$, so we are forced to consider secondary classes. ",
"In Section 4 we discuss Chern–Simons classes for loop spaces. ",
"We use these classes to show that $\\pi_1({\\diff}(S^2\\times S^3))$ is infinite, where ${\\diff}(S^2\\times S^3)$ is the diffeomrophism group of this 5-manifold. ",
"This result is new but not unexpected, and is given more as an illustration of potential applications of these techniques.",
"\n\nIn Section 5 we discuss characteristic classes associated to $\\diff(Z)$, the group of diffeomorphisms of a closed manifold $Z$. As pointed out by Singer, there is no known theory of characteristic classes for ${\\diff}(Z)$-bundles. ",
"Specifically, there are no known nontrivial Ad-invariant functions on Lie$({\\diff}(Z)).$ Instead, we outline a method to detect elements of $H^*({\\diff}(G),\\C)$ for classical Lie groups $G$. This is cheating somewhat, as in finite-dimensional bundle theory we want the cohomology of classifying spaces like $BU(n)$, not of $U(n)$ itself. ",
"Of course, $H^*(BU(n),\\C)$ is related to $H^*(U(n),\\C)$ by transgression arguments dating back to Borel. ",
"It is completely unclear if these arguments can be formulated in infinite dimensions, so the results of this section are baby steps towards understanding characteristic classes for diffeomorphism groups.",
"\n\nIn Section 6, we discuss the setup of the families index theorem of Atiyah–Singer. ",
"As recognized by Atiyah and Singer and used by Bismut, this theorem can be restated in terms of an infinite rank superbundle $\\calE$. We discuss constructing a theory of characteristic classes on these bundles. ",
"Here the structure group $\\G$ contains both a gauge group and the group ${\\diff}(Z)$. Having a very large group makes it easier to find Ad-invariant functions in principle, but again we know of no nontrivial invariant functions. ",
"Nevertheless, we can define characteristic classes of $\\calE$ for certain connections due to Bismut. ",
"We discuss an attempt to construct a proof of the families index theorem using characteristic classes on $\\calE.$ While there are serious gaps in the argument, it is very intriguing that a semidirect product $\\G\\ltimes {\\Psi_{0}^*}$ naturally appears as a structure group. ",
"Thus the work in this last section is in some sense is a culmination of the techniques in the previous sections.",
"\n\nThe determination of the algebra of invariants for Lie groups is a classical topic with a very 19${}^{\\rm th}$ century feel. ",
"In highlighting the obvious, namely the central role of these Lie-theoretic questions in Chern–Weil theory, I’m reminded of Moliere’s M. Jourdain, who discovers that he has been speaking prose all his life without knowing it. ",
"In any case, I hope this article spurs interest in extending this classical theory to infinite-dimensional settings of current interest in geometry and physics.",
"\n\nIt is a pleasure to thank Andrés Larrain-Hubach, Yoshiaki Maeda, Sylvie Paycha, Simon Scott and Fabián Torres-Ardila for many helpful conversations on this subject.",
"\n\n[**General comments on Chern–Weil theory**]{}\n=============================================\n\nLet $G$ be a finite-dimensional Lie group, and let $\\calP_G$ be algebra of ${\\rm Ad}_G$-invariant polynomials from ${{\\mathfrak g}}= {\\rm Lie}(G)$ to $\\C.$ In its more abstract form, Chern–Weil theory gives a map $${{\\rm cw}}:\\calP_G\\to H^*(BG,\\C).$$ Since $G$-bundles $E\\to B$ are classified by elements $f\\in [B,BG]$, the set of homotopy classes of maps from $B$ to $BG$, a polynomial $p\\in \\calP_G$ gives rise to a characteristic class $c_p(E) = f^*{{\\rm cw}}(p)\\in H^*(B,\\C).$\n\nFor compact connected groups, the suitably normalized map ${\\rm cw}$ is a ring isomorphism to $H^*(BG,\\Z)$ [@dieu] (see Ch. ",
"3, Section 4 for references to Borel’s original work), [@dupont], with the corresponding characteristic classes called Chern classes for $G= U(n)$ and Pontrjagin classes for $G = SO(n).$ Since the adjoint action is given by conjugation for classical groups, for any $k\\in \\Z^+$ the polynomials $A\\mapsto \\Tr(A^k)$ are in $\\calP_G$. For $U(n)$, the corresponding characteristic classes are the k${}^{\\rm th}$ components of the Chern character (up to normalization). ",
"It is a classical result of invariant theory that these polynomials generate $\\calP_{U(n)}$. We note that the k${}^{\\rm th}$ Chern class is given by the trace of the transformation induced by $A$ on $\\Lambda^k(\\C^n)$; since this transformation is usually also denoted by $A^k$, it is easy to confuse the two uses of $\\Tr(A^k).$\n\n\\[remark1\\] If a group $G$ is linear, i.e., there is an embedding $i:G\\to GL(N,\\C)$ for some $N$ (or equivalently, $G$ admits a finite-dimensional faithful representation), then an ${{\\rm Ad}_G}$-invariant function on ${{\\mathfrak g}}$ corresponds to a $i(G)$-conjugation invariant functional on $di({{\\mathfrak g}}).$ The functionals $A\\mapsto \\Tr(A^k)$ certainly work, but there may be other invariant functions if $i(G)$ has “small enough\" image in $GL(N,\\C)$. For example, the Pfaffian ${\\rm Pf}(A)$ is an invariant polynomial for $A\\in SO(n)$ which is not in the algebra generated by the $\\Tr(A^k)$; while $\\det(A)$ is in this algebra, the Pfaffian satisfies $({\\rm Pf}(A))^2 = \\det(A).$\n\nThis abstract approach to characteristic classes is not very useful in practice, both because $BG$ tends to be far from a manifold, and because classifying maps are hard to find. ",
"However, the classifying space approach certainly is powerful. ",
"For example, if a bundle is trivial, then it is classified by a constant map, and so it immediately follows that its characteristic classes vanish. (",
"For $U(n)$, the converse almost holds: if a hermitian vector bundle $E$ has vanishing Chern classes, then some multiple $kE$ is trivial. ",
"The proof is nontrivial.)",
"\n\nThere are alternative approaches to constructing e.g., Chern classes, one topological and one geometric. ",
"The topological approach constructs the highest Chern class $c_n(E)$ of a rank-$n$ complex vector bundle and then iteratively constructs the lower Chern classes by passing to a flag bundle [@huse; @milnor]. ",
"Since our bundles will have infinite rank, it’s hard to get started on this approach.",
"\n\nAt this point, we once and for all pass from principal $G$-bundles to vector bundles with $G$ as structure group, although the former case is somewhat more general. ",
"Thus we are assuming that $G$ is linear, and a $G$-bundle denotes a vector bundle with structure group $G$.\n\nSince the topological approach seems unpromising, we follow the geometric method. ",
"If $B$ is a paracompact manifold, then it admits a partition of unity, so $G$-bundles over $B$ admit $G$-connections. (",
"Finite-dimensional manifolds and even Banach manifolds are paracompact). ",
"$c_p(E)$ is then the de Rham cohomology class $[p(\\Omega)]$ of $p(\\Omega)$, where $\\Omega$ is the ${{\\mathfrak g}}$-valued curvature two-form of the connection, and $p(\\Omega)$ involves wedging of forms and the Lie bracket in ${{\\mathfrak g}}$ in a natural way. ",
"The Ad-invariance of $p$ is used crucially to show that $p(\\Omega)$ is closed and that its cohomology class is independent of the connection. ",
"This material is standard, and can be found in e.g., [@BGV; @chern; @rosenberg]. ",
"In summary,\n\n\\[CWtheorem\\] Let $p$ be an Ad${}_G$-invariant $\\C$-valued power series on ${{\\mathfrak g}}$. Let $E\\to B$ be a bundle over a manifold $B$ with structure group $G$, and let $\\nabla$ be a $G$-connection with curvature $\\Omega.$ Then\n\n\\(i) $p(\\Omega)$ is a closed even degree form on $B$.\n\n\\(ii) The de Rham cohomology class $[p(\\Omega)]\\in H^{*}(B,\\C)$ is independent of the choice of $\\nabla.$\n\nOften, the power series of interest are in fact polynomials of some degree $k< {\\rm dim}(B)/2$, in which case $[p(\\Omega)]\\in H^{2k}(B, \\C)$. In particular, for $U(n)$, the classes on a complex bundle $E$ associated to $(2\\pi i)^{-1} \\Tr(A^k)$ are denoted by $c_k(E)$ and are called the k${}^{\\rm th}$ [*Chern classes*]{}; the normalization ensures that they are in fact integral classes. ",
"The [*Pontrjagin classes*]{} of a real finite rank bundle $F$ are by definition the Chern classes of the complexification $F\\otimes \\C$, corresponding to the embedding of $SO(n)$ into $U(n)$. On $U(n)$, the most important example of a power series is the exponential function $e^A$; the corresponding Chern class is called the [*Chern character*]{}. ",
"In index theory, other power series like the $\\hat A$-genus naturally occur, although all these are truncated to polynomials at the dimension of the manifold. ",
"On infinite rank bundles over infinite-dimensional manifolds, there is no reason to truncate, so the use of power series is more natural.",
"\n\nThe advantage to the geometric approach is that the de Rham representative $p(\\Omega)$ is pointwise computable on $B$. For example, a trivial complex bundle has vanishing Chern classes. ",
"From the geometric construction, we can conclude more: a bundle with a nonvanishing Chern class does not admit a flat connection. ",
"This is a stronger statement precisely because there are nontrivial bundles $E$ with flat connections; these have a discrete structure group.",
"\n\nFor noncompact finite-dimensional Lie groups, the situation is not so clean. ",
"For $G = GL(n,\\R)^+$, the connected group of orientation-preserving elements of $GL(n,\\R)$, ${\\rm cw}$ is not surjective. ",
"For $G$ is homotopy equivalent to $SO(n)$, so the universal Euler class, the element $e\\in H^n(BSO(n), \\Z)$ corresponding to the Pfaffian in $\\calP_{SO(n)}$, is also an element of $H^n(BGL(n,\\R)^+,\\Z).$ However, since the Pfaffian is not $GL(n,\\R)^+$-invariant, $e$ is not in the image of ${\\rm cw}$ on $\\calP_{GL(n,\\R)^+}.$\n\nIt is clear that parts of geometric Chern–Weil theory carry over to infinite-dimensional Lie groups, especially since tricky questions about the topology of these Lie groups can often be avoided. ",
"For example, let $G$ be the group of invertible transformations of a fixed Hilbert space of the form $I + A$, where $A$ is trace class. ",
"Since all such operators are bounded, it is not hard to show that $G$ is indeed a Lie group, with Lie algebra given by the set of trace class operators. ",
"Certainly the first Chern class $c_1(E) = [\\Tr(\\Omega)]\n\\in H^2(B,\\C)$ exists for any connection on a $G$-bundle $E\\to B$. Here $\\Tr$ refers to the operator trace. ",
"However, this Chern class is not computable except in special cases. ",
"In particular, we do not expect to be able to tell if this class is nonzero or not. ",
"By restricting $A$ to lie in higher Shatten classes, we can construct higher but similarly noncomputable Chern classes, as discussed in [@Seg].",
"\n\nMaking sense of Lie groups of unbounded operators on a Hilbert space is difficult, particularly since the exponential map may have a sparse image. ",
"For finite rank bundles, one can take a default position by considering bundles for classical groups as $GL(n,\\C)$-bundles. ",
"Since $GL(n,\\C)$ deformation retracts onto $U(n)$, the topological theory of characteristic classes is the same for the two groups. ",
"In fact, the geometric theory is the same, as the Ad-invariant polynomials are the same for the two groups. ",
"Of course, for other linear groups the situation can be more complicated.",
"\n\nBy analogy, in infinite dimensions we might begin with $GL(\\calH)$, the group of bounded invertible operators with bounded inverses on a real or complex Hilbert space $\\calH$. As an open subset of the set of bounded endomorphisms of $\\calH$, $GL(\\calH)$ is a Lie group [@Omori]. ",
"However, this group has trivial Chern–Weil theory. ",
"For by Kuiper’s Theorem, the unitary group $U(\\calH)$ and hence $GL(\\calH)$ is contractible in the norm topology. ",
"Thus $BGL(\\calH)$ has the homotopy type of a point, so all $GL(\\calH)$ bundles are trivial. (",
"$U(\\calH)$ should not be confused with the group $U(\\infty) = \\lim_{\\to}U(n)$, which has nontrivial topology by Bott periodicity.)",
"\n\nThis problem of having a large contractible structure group is a key feature of infinite dimensions. ",
"As an example of its annoying presence, we can use $GL(\\calH)$ to “ruin\" Chern–Weil theory for finite rank bundles. ",
"For example, if we embed $GL(n,\\C)$ into $GL(N,\\C)$ as an upper left block for $N >n$, then we can extend a rank-$n$ complex bundle $E$ to a rank-$N$ bundle with essentially the same transition functions. ",
"Since this amounts to adding a trivial $(N-n)$-rank bundle to $E$, the Chern classes are unchanged. ",
"However, if we embed $GL(n,\\C)$ into $GL(\\calH)$, then the extended bundle and any characteristic classes become trivial. (",
"We can cook up a similar example in finite dimensions: Let $E\\to S^1$ be the $\\Q$-bundle which is trivial over $(0,2\\pi)$ and with $(0,q)$ glued to $(2\\pi, 2q).$ Then $E$ is nontrivial as a $\\Q$-bundle, but becomes trivial when extended to an $\\R$-bundle.)",
"\n\nFrom these examples, we see that we should consider infinite rank bundles whose structure group is a subgroup of $GL(\\calH)$ with nontrivial topology. ",
"Fortunately, there are several well-known infinite-dimensional manifolds with a good Chern–Weil theory of characteristic classes.",
"\n\nMapping Spaces and their characteristic classes\n===============================================\n\nThe topological setup\n---------------------\n\nLet $N^n, M^m$ be smooth, oriented, compact manifolds. ",
"Fix $s_0 \\gg 0$, and let ${{\\rm Maps}(N,M)}$ be the functions $f:N \\to M$ of Sobolev class $s_0$ (denoted $f\\in H^{s_0}$). ",
"Here we fix covers $\\{(U_\\alpha, \\phi_\\alpha)\\}, \\{(V_\\beta, \\psi_\\beta)\\}$ of $N, M$, respectively, and we are imposing that $\\psi_\\beta f\\phi_\\alpha^{-1}:\\R^n\\to \\R^m$ is of Sobolev class $s_0$ for all $\\alpha, \\beta.$ ${{\\rm Maps}(N,M)}$ is a smooth Banach manifold [@eells], and the smooth structure is independent of the choice of covers.",
"\n\nWe could work with the space of smooth maps from $N$ to $M$ as a Fréchet manifold, but this is technically more difficult. ",
"In particular, the implicit function theorem, which is used repeatedly in the foundations of manifold theory, is not guaranteed to hold for Fréchet manifolds. ",
"This is a little lazy, as the implicit function theorem holds for tame Fréchet manifolds [@Hamilton] such as ${{\\rm Maps}(N,M)}$, but we choose to work with Sobolev spaces just to keep the notation down.",
"\n\nThe easiest examples of mapping spaces are free loop spaces $LM$ ($N = S^1$) and in particular free loop groups $LG$. The most natural bundles are the tangent bundles $TLM, TLG$. Just as in finite dimensions, $TLG$ is canonically trivial, so we do not expect characteristic classes for loop groups.",
"\n\nTo develop a theory of characteristic classes of $TLM$, we should determine its structure group and look for Ad-invariant functions. ",
"A tangent vector in $TLM$ at a loop $\\gamma$ should be the infinitesimal information in a family of loops $s\\mapsto \n\\gamma_s(\\theta)$, for $\\theta\\in S^1$ and $s\\in (-\\epsilon, \\epsilon).$ The infinitesimal information is $\\{ \\dot\\gamma(\\theta)=(d/ds)|_{s=0}\\gamma_s(\\theta): \\theta\\in S^1\\}$. This is a vector field along $\\gamma$, i.e., a section of $\\gamma^*TM\\to S^1$; the pullback bundle has the effect of distinguishing tangent vectors $\\dot\\gamma(\\theta_0), \\dot\\gamma(\\theta_1)$ where $\\gamma(\\theta_0) = \\gamma(\\theta_1).$ Conversely, given a Riemannian metric on $M$, the exponential maps $\\exp_{\\gamma(\\theta)}:T_{\\gamma(\\theta)}M\n\\to M$ combine to take a vector field along $\\gamma$ to a loop. ",
"Taking care of the analytic details, we get $T_\\gamma LM = \\Gamma(\\gamma^*TM)$, where we take $H^{s_0}$ sections of $\\gamma^*TM.$ Since $M$ is oriented, $\\gamma^*TM$ is a trivial rank-$m$ real bundle over $S^1$ denoted $\\calR^m = \\calR^m_\\gamma$. The trivialization is not canonical, so $TLM$ need not be trivial, and we have a hope of constructing characteristic classes.",
"\n\nWe now show that the structure group of $TLM$ is a group of gauge transformations. ",
"This structure group is determined by the differentials of the transition functions of $LM$. Fix a Riemannian metric on $M$. Call $s\\in T_\\gamma LM$ short if $\\exp_{\\gamma(\\theta)} s(\\theta)$ is inside the cut locus of $\\gamma(\\theta)$ for all $\\theta.$ Let $U_\\gamma$ be the neighborhood of $\\gamma$ in $LM$ consisting of the all exponentials along $\\gamma$ of short loops. ",
"These neighborhoods give an open cover of $LM$. On $U_{\\gamma_0}\\cap U_{\\gamma_1}$, the transition functions are given by fiberwise invertible nonlinear maps $\\Gamma\\calR^m\\to\\Gamma\\calR^m$. Since $\\Gamma\\calR^m$ is a vector space, the differentials of the transition maps at a $v\\in \\calR^n$ can be naturally identified with invertible linear maps on $\\calR^m$ which act fiberwise. ",
"Thus the structure group is the group of $H^{s_0}$ bundle automorphisms of $\\calR^m$, i.e., the gauge group $\\calG(\\calR^n).$ (Strictly speaking, we should take the gauge group of $\\calG(T\\calR^n)$, but this has the same homotopy type as $\\calG(\\calR^n).$)\n\nThe general case of ${{\\rm Maps}(N,M)}$ is similar. ",
"The path components of ${{\\rm Maps}(N,M)}$ are in bijection with $[N,M]$. Pick a path component $X_0$ and $f:N\\to M$ in $X_0.$ Then for all $g\\in X_0$, $T_g{{\\rm Maps}(N,M)}\\simeq \\Gamma(f^*TM\\to N)$ noncanonically. ",
"$f^*TM$ need not be trivial, but as above the structure group on $X_0$ is $\\calG(f^*TM).$ For convenience, we always complexify real bundles, so the structure group is $\\calG(f^*TM\\otimes \\C).$ From now on, we often omit the $\\otimes\\ \\C$ term.",
"\n\nIn summary, $T{{\\rm Maps}(N,M)}$ is a gauge bundle, or $\\calG$-bundle for short.",
"\n\nNow that the structure group of $T{{\\rm Maps}(N,M)}$ has been determined, we look for ${\\rm Ad}_\\calG$-invariant functions on ${{\\mathfrak g}}$. Here ${{\\mathfrak g}}= {\\rm Lie}(\\calG) = {\\rm End}(f^*TM)$ is the vector space of $H^{s_0-1}$ bundle endomorphisms of $f^*TM.$ Since the Lie group and Lie algebra act fiberwise on $f^*TM$, the adjoint action of $\\calG$ on ${{\\mathfrak g}}$ is fiberwise conjugation: ${\\rm Ad}(A)(b) = AbA^{-1}$. For fixed Riemannian metrics on $N$ and $M$, $f^*TM$ inherits an inner product, and we can set $$c_k:\\calG(f^*TM)\\to \\C,\\ \\ c_k(A) = \\int_N \\tr(A^k)\\ {{\\rm dvol}}_N.$$ Note that the trace depends on the metric on $M$. This is clearly Ad-invariant, so we can define $$c_k(X_0) = [c_k(\\Omega)]\\in H^{2k}(X_0, \\C)\n\\label{cherngauge}$$ for $\\Omega$ the curvature of any gauge connection on $T{{\\rm Maps}(N,M)}.$ We will usually just write $c_k({{\\rm Maps}(N,M)})$ $\\in H^{2k}({{\\rm Maps}(N,M)}, \\C).$ Some examples of these “gauge classes\" will be computed in Section 3.3.",

"\n\n[*Open question:*]{} Determine all ${\\rm Ad}_\\calG$-invariant analytic functions on $\n{{\\mathfrak g}}.$\n\nSince $\\calG$ is dense in ${{\\mathfrak g}}$, solving this question includes finding all the traces on ${{\\mathfrak g}}$, i.e., linear functions $t:{{\\mathfrak g}}\\to \\C$ with $t(ab) = t(ba)$ for all $a,b\\in {{\\mathfrak g}}.$ This is in turn equivalent to computing the Hochschild cohomology group $HH^0({{\\mathfrak g}}, \\C)$, which should be feasible.

"\n\nThe geometric setup\n-------------------\n\nSince we are taking a geometric approach to characteristic classes, we should see if the natural geometry on ${{\\rm Maps}(N,M)}$ is compatible with the structure group $\\calG$. In fact, it is not, as we now explain.",
"\n\nFor simplicity, we will just consider loop spaces $LM^m$. The parameter $\\theta$ always denotes the loop parameter, so $LM = \\{\\gamma(\\theta): \\theta\\in S^1, \\gamma(\\theta)\n\\in M\\}$ for $\\gamma$ of Sobolev class $s_0.$\n\nFix a Riemannian metric on $M$ and fix $s\\in [0,s_0]$.

The role of the positive elliptic operator $(I+\\Delta)^s$ is to count roughly $s-(m/2)$ derivatives of the vector fields, by the so-called basic elliptic estimate. ",
"Thus the larger the $s$ and $s_0$, the closer we are to modeling the smooth loop space. ",
"In particular, the $L^2$ metric (i.e., $s=0$), while independent of a choice of $s$ and hence natural, is too weak for many situations. (",
"For example, the absolute version of the Chern–Simons classes discussed in Section 4 are multiples of $s$, and hence vanish at $s=0.$)\n\nThis $H^s$ metric gives rise to a Levi-Civita connection $\\nabla^{s}$ on $LM$ by the Koszul formula $$\\begin{aligned}\n\\label{two} \n2\\langle\\nabla^s_YX,Z\\rangle_s &=&\\ X\\langle Y,Z\\rangle_s +Y\\langle X,Z\\rangle_s\n-Z\\langle X,Y\\rangle_s\\\\\n&&\\qquad \n+\\langle [X,Y],Z\\rangle_s+\\langle [Z,X],Y\\rangle_s -\\langle[Y,Z],X\\rangle_s,\\nonumber\\end{aligned}$$ but only if the right-hand side is a continuous linear functional of $Z\\in T_\\gamma LM$. Note that this continuity is not an issue in finite dimensions.",
"\n\nWe will consider loop groups as an example. ",
"First, recall that for a finite-dimensional Lie group $G$ with a left-invariant metric, there is a global frame for $TG$ consisting of left-invariant vector fields $X_i$. For such vector fields, the Kozul formula simplifies, since the first three terms on the right-hand side of (\\[two\\]) vanish. ",
"In particular, one can determine $\\nabla_{X_j}\nX_i$ in terms of the structure constants of $G$. Since any vector field on $G$ can be written as $X = f^iX_i$ for $f_i\\in C^\\infty(G)$, the Leibniz rule then determines $\\nabla_YX$ completely for any $X, Y.$\n\nFor loop groups $LG$, we can take an infinite basis $\\{X_i\\}$ of $T_{e}LG = L{{\\mathfrak g}}$, by e.g., taking Fourier modes with respect to a chosen basis of ${{\\mathfrak g}}.$ We can extend these to left-invariant vector fields. ",
"A calculation first due to Freed [@Freed] gives $$\\label{three}\n2\\nabla^s_XY=[X,Y]+ (I+\\Delta)^{-s}[(I+\\Delta)^{s}X,Y]\n+(I+\\Delta)^{-s}[X,(I+\\Delta)^{s}Y],$$ for $X, Y$ left-invariant. ",
"The reader is encouraged to rework this calculation, which just uses that $(I + \\Delta)^s$ is selfadjoint for the $L^2$ inner product. ",
"There are technical issues here, such as checking that the right-hand side of (\\[three\\]) stays in $H^{s_0}$, and that applying the Leibniz rule to infinite sums $f^iX_i$ also stays in $H^{s_0}.$ Since the $X_i$ are so explicit, these issues can be resolved.",
"\n\nIn (\\[three\\]), $(I+\\Delta)^s$ is a differential operator if $s\\in \\Z^+$ and is a classical pseudodifferential (${\\Psi{\\rm DO}}$) operator otherwise. ",
"In any case, $(I +\\Delta)^{-s}$ is always pseudodifferential. ",
"The critical Sobolev dimension for $LG$ is $1/2$, since loops need to be in $H^{(1/2)+\\epsilon}$ to be continuous, so we will always assume $s> 1/2.$ As an operator on $Y$ for fixed $X$, $\\nabla^s_XY$ has order zero: the first order differentiations in the first and third terms on the right-hand side of (\\[three\\]) cancel (as seen by a symbol calculation), and the second term has order $-2s+1$.\n\nThese technical calculations are really quite crucial. ",
"On general principles, the connection one-form and the curvature two-form take values in the Lie algebra of the structure group. ",
"So calculating these forms tells us for which structure group $G$ our connection is a $G$-connection. ",
"For the curvature two-form $$\\Omega^s(X,Y)=\\nabla^s_X\\nabla^s_Y-\\nabla^s_Y\\nabla^s_X-\\nabla^s_{[X,Y]},$$ we can always say that $\\Omega^s\\in \\Lambda^2(LG, {\\rm End}(T_\\gamma LG))$ by default, but the vector space ${\\rm End}(T_\\gamma LG)$ is too big to be useful. ",
"After all, ${\\rm End}(T_\\gamma LG)$ could only be the Lie algebra of ${\\rm Aut}(T_\\gamma LG)$, all technical issues aside. ",
"Without further restrictions, this group contains both bounded and unbounded operators, so its topology is unclear.",
"\n\nThus without some detailed computations, the setup would be too formal. ",
"However, since $\\nabla^s$ is built from zero order ${\\Psi{\\rm DO}}$s, $\\Omega^s$ also takes values in zero order ${\\Psi{\\rm DO}}$s. ",
"That is good news, since order zero ${\\Psi{\\rm DO}}$ are bounded operators on $T_\\gamma LG$ with any $H^s$ norm. ",
"Moreover, the vector space ${\\Psi_{\\leq 0}}$ of classical ${\\Psi{\\rm DO}}$s of integer order at most zero is the Lie algebra of ${\\Psi_{0}^*}$, the Lie group of invertible classical zeroth order ${\\Psi{\\rm DO}}$s [@paychasurvey]. (",
"Inverses of elements in ${\\Psi_{0}^*}$ are automatically bounded.) ",
"Note that ${\\Psi_{0}^*}\\supset \\calG(\\calR^n)$, since gauge transformations are (zero-th order) multiplication operators.",
"\n\nThus by just working out the connection and curvature, we see that it is natural to extend the structure group from the gauge group $\\calG$, which was good enough for the topology of $LG$, to ${\\Psi_{0}^*}$, which is needed to incorporate the Levi-Civita connection.",
"\n\nBefore leaving the loop group case, we note that Freed proved that $\\Omega^s$ actually takes values in ${\\Psi{\\rm DO}}$s of order at most $-1.$ By some careful calculations, sharp results have been obtained:\n\n[@andres], [@MRT] If $G$ is abelian, the curvature two-form $\\Omega^s$ for $LG$ takes values in ${\\Psi{\\rm DO}}$s of order $-\\infty$ for all $s \\geq 1.$ If $G$ is nonabelian, the curvature two-form takes values in ${\\Psi{\\rm DO}}$s of order $-\\infty$ for $s=1$ and order $-2$ for $s>1.$ These results are also valid for the based loop groups $\\Omega G.$\n\nThe case $s=1$ is known to be special: for complex groups $G$, $\\Omega G$ is a Kähler manifold for the $s=1$ metric [@Seg]. ",
"The proposition again singles out this case, and applies to all finite-dimensional Lie groups. ",
"One proof that the curvature has order $-\\infty$ involves showing that the map $\\alpha:L{{\\mathfrak g}}\\mapsto L{{\\mathfrak g}}[[\\xi^{-1}]]$ (which appears in integrable systems as the space of formal nonpositive integer order ${\\Psi{\\rm DO}}$s on the trivial bundle $E = S^1\\times\n{{\\mathfrak g}}\\to S^1$) given by $\\alpha(X) = \\sum_{\\ell=0}^\\infty \\frac{(-1)^\\ell}{i^\\ell}\n(\\partial_\\theta X )\\xi^{-\\ell}$ is a Lie algebra homomorphism.

"For $s\\in \\Z^+$, after some simplifications, we end up with terms that take $\\theta$ derivatives of $Z$ (e.g., $(I+\\Delta)^s Z$). ",
"This apparently obstructs the right-hand side from being a linear functional in $Z$ in the $H^s$ norm, but we can integrate by parts $2s$ times over $S^1$ to remove this problem. ",
"As a result, the Levi-Civita connection exists in this case. ",
"In contrast, for $s\\not\\in \\Z^+$, trying to integrate by parts involves the infinite symbol asymptotics $\\sigma(I + \\Delta)^s \\sim \\sum_{k=0}^\\infty \\sigma_{-k}(I+\\Delta)^s$ of the ${\\Psi{\\rm DO}}$ $(I+\\Delta)^s$, and so does not terminate. ",

"A similar result should hold for ${{\\rm Maps}(N,M)}$ but has not been worked out.",
"\n\nNow that the structure group ${\\Psi_{0}^*}= {\\Psi_{0}^*}(f^*TM\\to N)$ has naturally appeared, we can formulate the notion of principal ${\\Psi_{0}^*}$-bundles and associated vector bundles for general ${\\Psi_{0}^*}(E\\to N)$.

"/}^{\\nabla^K}_b))^\\perp$, and similarly for $S^-\\otimes K.$ This perpendicular component is spanned by the eigensections of ${\\partial \\! \\! \\! ",
"/}^{\\nabla^K} = {\\partial \\! \\! \\! ",
"/}_+$ with nonzero eigenvalues, and ${\\partial \\! \\! \\! ",
"/}^{\\nabla^K}$ is an isomorphism between these eigenspaces. ",
"For this connection, we expect that $ch(\\ker_+^\\perp) = ch(\\ker_-^\\perp)$ as forms computed with respect to this split connection. ",
"This would imply $$\\label{FITlhs} ch({{\\rm IND}}({\\partial \\! \\! \\! ",
"/}^{\\nabla^K})) = ch(\\ker({\\partial \\! \\! \\! ",
"/}^{\\nabla^K}_+)) + \nch(\\ker_+^\\perp) - ch( \\ker({\\partial \\! \\! \\! ",
"/}^{\\nabla^K}_-))\n - ch(\\ker_-^\\perp)\n= ch(\\calE).$$ This would finish (ii).",
"\n\nThe natural choice for such a connection is given by orthogonally projecting the Bismut connection to the kernel and its perpendicular complement. ",
"The problem is that the isomophism ${\\partial \\! \\! \\! ",
"/}^{\\nabla^K}_+: ({\\rm ker}{\\partial \\! \\! \\! ",
"/}_+)^\\perp\\to ({\\rm ker}{\\partial \\! \\! \\! ",
"/}_-)^\\perp$ is not a $\\G$-isomorphism, since ${\\partial \\! \\! \\! ",
"/}^{\\nabla^K}_+$ is far from an element of $\\G$. However, we can replace $D = {\\partial \\! \\! \\! ",
"/}^{\\nabla^K}_+$ with its unitarization $D^u = D/|D^*D|^{1/2}$ on these complements. ",
"$D^u$ is a zero order invertible pseudodifferential operator, precisely the type of operator treated in Section 4.",
"\n\nThis motivates extending the structure group to a semidirect product $\\tilde \\G = \\G\\ltimes {\\Psi_{0}^*}$, with $\\G$ acting on ${\\Psi_{0}^*}$ by conjugation. ",
"We have to extend our definition of characteristic classes from $\\G$ to $\\tilde \\G$, but this is straightforward based on the earlier work: for a $\\tilde \\G$-connection with curvature $\\tilde \\Omega = \n(V, s, B)\\in \\tilde {{{\\mathfrak g}}}$ (so $B\\in {\\Psi_{\\leq 0}}$), we consider expressions like $$\\int_{Z_b} \\tr((s^{v^{\\nabla_b}})^k){{\\rm dvol}}_{M/B} + \\int_{Z_b}\\tr ((\\sigma_0(B))^k).$$ It is now straightforward to check that (\\[FITlhs\\]) holds. ",
"However, we are not claiming that the Chern character form for this projected connection in (\\[FITlhs\\]) is closed. ",
"Even if it is, we are definitely not claiming that it is cohomologous to the Chern character form in (\\[FITlhs\\]), as this would give the wrong formula for the FIT.",
"\n\nDespite the glaring problems with these arguments, we see that when we try to prove the FIT directly on $\\calE$, the extended structure group $\\tilde \\G$ naturally occurs.",
"\n\nRecall that the starting point for Donaldson theory is the moduli space $\\calA/\\calG$, where $\\calA = \\calA(F)$ is the space of connections on $F$ and $\\calG = \\calG(F)$ is the gauge group. ",
"The action of $\\calG$ on $\\calA$, $g\\cdot \\nabla = \ng\\nabla g^{-1}$, extends to an action of $\\G$ by $(\\phi, f)\\cdot\\nabla = f(\\phi^{-1})^*\\nabla\nf^{-1}$, since for $\\phi= Id,$ $f$ is a gauge transformation.",
"\n\nThus it is natural to consider the moduli space $\\calA/ \\G$. However, this space seems to be a fat point in the following sense.",
"\n\n[@lprs] The orbit of a generic connection is dense.",
"\n\nAn example of a nongeneric connection is a flat connection. ",
"As justification for the conjecture, it can be shown that the normal space to the $ \\G$-orbit $\\calO_\\nabla$ in the $L^2$ metric on $T_\\nabla\\calA = \\Lambda^1(Z,{{\\rm End}}(F))$ is $$\\{\\alpha\\in \\Lambda^1(Z,{{\\rm End}}(F)): \\nabla^*\\alpha = 0\\ {\\rm and}\\ R^F(\\cdot, V)_z \\perp \\alpha_z, \\forall\nz\\in Z, \\forall V\\in T_zZ\\}.$$ (The equation $\\nabla^*\\alpha = 0$ is the equation for the normal space to the gauge orbit of $\\nabla$.) It is plausible that for a generic connection, the curvature equation $R^F(\\cdot, V)_z \\perp \\alpha_z$ and its higher covariant derivatives form an overdetermined system of equations, and so has only the zero solution. ",
"We expect standard gauge theory techniques to help prove the conjecture.",

"The FBI agent brother of an NYPD cop accused in a murder-for-hire plot killed himself while out of town with other agents, law-enforcement sources told The Post on Wednesday.",
"\n\nSalvatore “Sal” Cincinelli, 41, was found with at least one gunshot wound inside the Container Bar in Austin, Texas, when cops arrived there shortly before midnight on July 16 in response to a report of gunfire, a spokeswoman for the Austin Police Department said.",
"\n\nThe incident is being investigated as suicide, the spokeswoman said. ",
"She wouldn’t elaborate.",
"\n\nCincinelli was a former Wall Street trader who joined the FBI in 2011 and led financial-crime investigations in New York City before being promoted to the bureau’s headquarters in Washington, DC, according to biographical information posted online.",
"\n\nHis younger sister, NYPD cop Valerie Cincinelli, 35, was busted by the FBI in May for allegedly scheming to have her estranged husband killed amid a bitter divorce. ",
"She’s being held without bail.",
"\n\n“She is absolutely devastated by the passing of her brother and best friend, and this is certainly adding to the stress of her current situation,” defense lawyer James Kousouros told The Post.",
"\n\nA since-deleted obituary said that Cincinelli died on July 17, and was buried in the Holy Rood Cemetery in Westbury, LI, on Monday following a funeral at St. Anthony’s Church in Oceanside.",
"\n\nIn 2012, he was among several FBI agents interviewed by Reuters for a report on Wall Streeters who quit high-paying jobs to investigate financial crimes.",
"\n\n“Some of my friends said, ‘Are you crazy? ",

"Low level design\n\nIn the software business we tend to speak of design as though it\nonly exists at the highest level, and precedes all construction not\nto be revisited. ",
"How often have you heard \"The design phase is done.\"?",
"\nNot coincidentally, we speak of implementation in the opposite voice,\nand \"high level implementation\" is not a commonly heard phrase.",
"\n\nWhat might we mean by low level design and be able to distinguish\nthe meaning from low level implementation?",
"\n\nWhat's the problem?",
"\n\nAs is probably obvious from the content of this site, I spend a lot\nof my time working fearlessly near the bare metal of Linux and UNIX. ",
"My\ncode calls a lot of operating system functions, and for the most part\nthey are quite regular and predictable in their behavior. ",
"For example,\nthe read function, described this way in section 2 of the man\npages:\n\nssize_t read(int fd, void *buf, size_t count);\n\nThe description of normal operation is described as\n\"On success, the number of bytes read is returned (zero indicates end of file),\nand the file position is advanced by this number. ",
"On error, -1 is returned,\nand errno is set appropriately.\"",
"\n\nread represents the type of low level design principle that might\nbe described as functions return the number of successful operations, and provide\nnegative values to indicate errors. ",
"I am comfortable with this, and it is\neasy to remember and logical.",
"\n\nYou do not have to look very far in the documentation to see that this\nprinciple is hardly observed with any consistency. ",
"Yes, write works\nexactly the same way as read, but if you are reading and writing you probably\nhave the good sense to call close when you are done.",
"\n\nHow does close work?",
"\n\"close() returns zero on success. ",
"On error, -1 is returned, and errno\nis set appropriately.\"",
"\nThe opposite low level design principle of return zero for OK is even more\nwidespread within the worlds where X is the final letter.",
"\n\nGuidelines for a solution\n\nHere are my suggestions:\n\nFor functions that return an integer of some type, decide on what is meant\nby positive numbers, zero, and negative numbers. ",
"My suggestion implies that where it is\nreasonable to do so, all return values should have sign.",
"\n\nDecide on value semantics or reference semantics, and loudly call out the\nexceptions to your chosen principle.",
"\n\nIt does not matter how the functions in a source code file are organized,\nbut order them the same way in all files. ",
"Alphabetic can be good or bad, and\nthere are alternatives.",
"\n\nEither freeze on a version of the language you are using, or roll all the\ncode to each new version as it comes out.",
"\n\nOrder the parameters of a function consistently: for example sources\ncome before destinations, and optional or defaulted parameters are only at the end.",
"\n\nUse the entire language, and express the programming in the most direct\nand unambiguous way possible. ",
"There is a lot to be said for brevity.",
"\n\nUnfortunately, the above priniciples are incomplete, and each one could\neasily be expanded into a longer article. ",
"Additionally, there is very little\nevidence that anyone agrees with me, at least not if the code written by other\nprogrammers is a guide to any sense of intuitive adoption by the hoi polloi.",
"\nBut ... failure to have some operating principles of low level design turns\nevery programming exercise into an Easter egg hunt; if you are writing the\ncode, then you are hiding the eggs, and if you are maintaining the code you are doomed to\ncrush them with your shoes."

"Malkovich menswear line in Italy US actor takes 'Technobohemian' range to Tuscany\n\n(ANSA) - Florence, January 11 - American actor and director John Malkovich on Monday launched the second installment of his latest adventure into the world of fashion and design, 'Technobohemian'.",
"\n\n\n\nSpeaking at a conference in Florence, he provided an overview of his Autumn/Winter 2010-2011 collection. ''",
"Technobohemian is a clothing line dedicated to the modern man,'' said the actor, best known for his parts in Dangerous Liaisons (1088) and Being John Malkovich (1999).",
"\n\n\n\n''For the next winter collection, I have used dark tones, in line with autumnal colours. ''",
"There is not just one single material in the designs but I will use yarn that is organic and environmentally friendly''. ",
"Malkovich promised a more in-depth foretaste of the collection would go on display in Prato, with a range of photographs and preparatory drawings. ",
"The weeklong exhibition, which opens in the Pecci Museum on Tuesday, are part of plans to make the Tuscan town the base for his range, the 56-year-old actor said. ''",
"Tuscany is a center of fashion,'' he explained. ''",
"You can find everything here: the fabrics, the expertise and the ability to bring together all the elements that make up an outfit''.",
"\n\n\n\nA showroom devoted to Technobohemian range - Roqk Bazar - will open in Prato later this month. ",
"Set amid medieval buildings in the historic centre of the town, Piazza San Marco, Roqk Bazar will span a 600 square meter space and will also host cultural events. ",
"The online showroom, Roqk Net, will go live the same day, while a second Roqk centre will open in Shanghai, China, this March. ",
"Technobohemian, which aims to combine the sharp, sleek edge of urban wear with a more comfortable, relaxed feel, is the second clothing line for Malkovich, who released another menswear line, Uncle Kimono, in 2002. ",
"Malkovich released his first, all-white Technobohemian collection last June. ",
"Like the latest venture, the Spring-Summer 2010 range combined smart tailoring with a relaxed, casual, elegance, which the actor says is critical to his vision. ",
"Asked about the inspiration for his ideas, the actor cited his films. ''",
"These have allowed me to learn about different kinds of peoples and different realities,'' he said, adding that his travels had also played a role. '",
"Constantly Being Born Clothes and Pencil Dreams', the exhibition in Prato, can be visited until January 17."

"\n\nOver 64 per cent of members taking part in the election backed Len McCluskey who was first elected general secretary of Unite in 2010 over his rival Jerry Hicks.",
"\n\nCommenting, Unite general secretary Len McCluskey said: “I’m deeply honoured that members have once again put their faith in me to lead their union.",
"\n\n“We are living in extraordinary times with workers facing unprecedented attacks on their living standards and their rights at work. ",
"Thanks to this government of millionaires, work is becoming less secure and austerity threatens the social fabric of our great nation.",
"\n\n“Now more than ever working people need a union which will stand up for them. ",
"Unite is that union, a modern progressive union fighting for ordinary people and strengthening their voice at work, in parliament and in our communities.",
"\n\n“From construction and the London buses, to the food industry and car manufacturing, Unite members have shown what can be achieved when working people stand together with the backing of a modern union.",
"\n“And in the NHS our membership is growing as workers seek a strong voice to defend what we as a people have built, paid for and value.",
"\n\n“Unified and freed from the distraction of an internal election in 2015, I pledge to focus my energies on the fighting for members and defeating this Tory-led government.”"

"For NSA leaker Snowden, Venezuela or elsewhere?",
"\n\nPassengers board Tuesday Moscow-Havana flight\n\nIvan Sekretarev / Associated Press\n\nPassengers boarding Tuesday's Moscow-Havana Aeroflot flight, the route fugitive NSA leader Edward Snowden is likely to take if he accepts an asylum offer from Venezuela. ",
"It remained unclear days after Snowden was offered refuge in several Latin American countries where he would go or how any plane carrying him could avoid travel through U.S. or allied air space.",
"\n\nPassengers boarding Tuesday's Moscow-Havana Aeroflot flight, the route fugitive NSA leader Edward Snowden is likely to take if he accepts an asylum offer from Venezuela. ",
"It remained unclear days after Snowden was offered refuge in several Latin American countries where he would go or how any plane carrying him could avoid travel through U.S. or allied air space. (",
"Ivan Sekretarev / Associated Press)\n\nBoth Venezuela and Cuba want to get their hands on the 85-year-old Posada, accused of orchestrating the 1976 terrorist bombing of a Cuban airliner in which all 73 on board died.",
"\n\nThe U.S. government has for years refused a Venezuelan extradition request for Posada, a Cuban-born Venezuelan citizen who lives in the supportive Cuban exile community of South Florida that applauds his longtime mission to kill former Cuban President Fidel Castro.",
"\n\nU.S. administrations back to the Nixon era have turned a blind eye to — and at times encouraged — Posada’s anti-communist militancy, partly to court the Cuban exile constituency that can sway swing-state Florida in presidential elections.",
"\n\nBut faced with the prospect of bringing former NSA contractor Snowden to justice and putting an end to the embarrassing disclosures of U.S. government surveillance, President Obama could make the political calculus that delivering Posada to Caracas would be a fair exchange.",
"\n\nEven if Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro fulfills his offer to protect Snowden, analysts point out that Maduro won’t be in power forever. ",
"And Snowden, 30, is almost certain to outlive the leftists’ shaky grip on the leadership in politically turbulent Venezuela.",
"\n\nMaduro is one of three Latin American leaders to offer Snowden asylum and an escape from the diplomatic no-man’s land in which he has been living for 18 days at Moscow’s Sheremetyevo Airport. ",
"Presidents Evo Morales of Bolivia and Daniel Ortega of Nicaragua have also said Snowden would be welcome to shelter in their countries.",
"\n\nCuban President Raul Castro, brother of the revolutionary leader that Posada has targeted for decades, has made sympathetic noises about Snowden’s plight. ",
"But Havana has stopped short of offering a haven for Snowden, who is accused of leaking classified information.",
"\n\nLike Venezuela, Cuba has unresolved diplomatic issues with the United States. ",
"Four of five Cubans convicted of espionage in 2001 remain in U.S. prisons serving long terms for spying on anti-Castro exile groups like those aligned with Posada. ",
"Getting back the “Five Heroes,” as they are known in Cuba, has been a cause celebre for the Castro regime. ",
"Also, the Cuban government holds U.S. citizen Alan Gross, convicted two years ago of illegally importing and installing telecommunications equipment in Cuba without government approval.",
"\n\nAlthough the possibility of trading the four remaining spies for Gross has presumably been considered, the White House might be more keen to get Snowden, whose leaks have continued since he outted himself as the source of revelations that the NSA gathers data on billions of phone calls, emails and texts worldwide.",
"\n\nExperts familiar with the thorny relationships between Washington and leftist-ruled Latin American countries see Snowden’s security in Venezuela as potentially short-lived.",
"\n\n“The first thing he has to ask himself about any country he’s considering for asylum is what do they want from the United States and what leverage does the United States have over them,” said Peter Kornbluh, a senior analyst on Latin America at the National Security Archive, an independent documentation research center in Washington.",
"\n\nVenezuela wants Posada extradited, said Kornbluh, who has extensively researched the Posada case. “",
"But on the other hand, coming to a deal with the United States for a swap like that would undermine the nationalist credentials of a country that stood up and agreed on principle to let him come.”",
"\n\nThe open question, Kornbluh said, is how much Maduro wants to move toward the political center and court better U.S. ties to shore up an economy in crisis despite enviable oil wealth.",
"\n\nCharles Shapiro, a former U.S. ambassador to Venezuela who is president of the Institute of the Americas, says he takes the Latin American leaders at “face value” in their offers of asylum. ",
"What is more perplexing, he said, is how Snowden could travel from Moscow to Caracas without the plane entering U.S. or allied airspace.",
"\n\nWhite House spokesman Jay Carney told reporters Tuesday that the Obama administration has conveyed \"to every country that might be considered a destination for Snowden\" that he should attempt to travel nowhere other than to the United States.",
"\n\nMiguel Tinker Salas, a professor of Latin American history at Pomona College, sees little prospect of Maduro swapping Snowden for Posada. ",
"But he points out that Maduro won a narrow victory over opposition candidate Henrique Capriles in an April election to succeed President Hugo Chavez, who died in March. ",
"And opposition leaders have vowed to organize a recall of Maduro within three years, opening the possibility of regime change in the near future.",
"\n\nSnowden would be better served taking asylum in Bolivia, Tinker Salas said, as Morales appears more firmly in power and less susceptible to U.S. pressure than the other Latin American leaders who have put out the welcome mat.",
"\n\nSnowden was offered asylum by Morales on Saturday as the Bolivian president vented his outrage over an incident last week in which four European countries denied his plane entry into their airspace because of rumors that Snowden was on board.",
"\n\n“That was a slap in the face of everybody in Latin America” that has spurred a fresh anti-imperialist frenzy in the region, said Daniel Hellinger, an international relations professor at Webster University in Missouri.",
"\n\n\"There is little doubt that it will set back relations between Venezuela and the United States, which had been showing signs of improvement,” Hellinger said. “",
"I do not think Maduro will use Snowden as a pawn at all. ",
"More dangerous for Snowden is the prospect, given the close election in April, that Maduro might be recalled within a few years.”"

"North Carolina News Station Warns about Counterfeit Prescription Drugs for Sale Online\n\nMay 9, 2017\n\nA Greensboro, North Carolina news station,WFMY News2, is warning viewers that the Internet is filled with fake online pharmacies that sell counterfeit drugs. ",
"In the television segment accompanying the story, WFMY shared surveillance images of a suspected drop-shipper posting up to 80 packages of counterfeit medications a day.",
"\n\nThe U.S. Postal Inspector WFMY spoke to described the state of the medication being shipped, “They were receiving packages with pills in them that were in ziploc bags, they weren’t marked with what they were, they had no instructions with them.” ",
"In the accompanying video, he also demonstrates clearly that the medication packages had no instructions, did not list side-effects, nor warnings of any kind. ",
"Many were shipped in plain plastic bags.",
"\n\nA search warrant executed at the drop-shipper’s home turned up numerous pills, credit card numbers, and a variety of passports.",
"\n\nThe WFMY report points out that genuine online pharmacies require valid prescriptions, but according to the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy (NABP), 89% of illegal online pharmacies do not require a prescription. ",
"Failure to require a prescription is, in their words, “a big red flag.”",
"\n\nYou can still save money when shopping for your medication. ",
"Try these suggestions for saving money safely:\n\nGoodRX.com can help you buy finding the lowest price on your particular medication. ",
"Try their easy-to-use search engine to find a safe source for the medication you need at a local pharmacy..\n\nNeedyMeds has a wealth of resources available for finding prescription discounts on your needed medication. ",
"They also offer a drug discount card that provides broad-based medication discounts at participating pharmacies."

"The role of molecular markers and tumor histological type in central lymph node metastasis of papillary thyroid carcinoma.",
"\nTo look for genetic mutations that might predict central compartment lymph node metastasis (LNM) in papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) using strict criteria for N0 and N1 disease. ",
"We identified patients with PTC from our institution's pathology archives. ",
"Strict criteria were used for assessing the presence or the absence of central neck LNM. ",
"Disease was classified as N0 only if a comprehensive ipsilateral and pretracheal central neck dissection was performed and if pathological analysis revealed no evidence of LNM. ",
"Primary tumor samples were analyzed for a panel of known or suspected PTC-associated molecular markers, including BRAF, RET -PTC, KRAS, NRAS, HRAS, PIK3CA, and their variants. ",
"Academic medical center. ",
"Three hundred eighty-nine patients with PTC. ",
"Molecular mutations in tumors with and without LNM. ",
"Of 389 identified cases, 209 fit the inclusion criteria, with 158 classified as node positive (N1) and 51 as node negative (N0). ",
"The follicular variant histological type was present in 7 of 158 N1 tumors (4.4%) and 24 of 51 N0 tumors (47.1%) and thus was strongly associated with lack of central neck metastasis in this study (odds ratio, 0.05; 95% CI, 0.02-0.14). ",
"Predictive factors for central LNM included extracapsular extension, angiolymphatic invasion, and higher T stage (T3 and T4). ",
"The BRAF mutation was more prevalent in the classic PTC histological type than the follicular variant. ",
"None of the molecular marker mutations that were analyzed in this study, including the BRAF mutation, predicted LNM in classic PTC. ",
"Positive risk factors for central LNM include male sex, extracapsular extension, angiolymphatic invasion, and advanced T stage. ",
"The follicular variant histological type has a significantly lower incidence of central neck metastasis. ",
"In contrast to recent studies, the BRAF mutation was not significantly associated with central neck LNM from PTC when using a strict definition of a central neck dissection."

"Lt. ",
"Gov. David Dewhurst just warned Davis to stay on topic.",
"\n\nUnder Senate rules, a filibustering senator can receive three warnings before she or he can be forced to stop talking.",
"\n\nEarlier: With tensions running high on both sides, state Sen. Wendy Davis continued a dramatic filibuster Tuesday afternoon designed to block passage of a controversial and politically charged anti-abortion bill.",
"\n\nBecause the special legislative session will end at midnight, the Fort Worth Democrat could succeed if she continues talking on Senate Bill 5 — a move that would block a mandate by top state Republican leaders to pass the measure during the special legislative session.",
"\n\nAt a time when the national Republican Party has made abortion a key issue, Tuesday’s filibuster quickly attracted a national following — through social media, streaming video from the Senate and in e-mails and press releases from advocates on both sides.",
"\n\nLeaders in the GOP-controlled Senate who want the bill to pass said at mid-afternoon they were considering invoking a little-used rule to end the filibuster with a vote, a move that other Republicans had earlier vowed not to use. ",
"They planned to let Davis talk the day out — as long as she stays within the rules for such speeches, with no leaning on her desk or no pausing or straying off the subject.",
"\n\nThere was no immediate indication when the move might take place.",
"\n\nDavis said she intended to talk until midnight.",
"\n\nDavis’ filibuster could also kill two other important measures still pending: a transportation-funding resolution and a bill on the penalty for 17-year-olds who commit capital murder.",
"\n\nLt. ",
"Gov. David Dewhurst chose not to bring up those measures before Senate Bill 5, even though Democrats had said publicly they would lend the support needed to pass them. ",
"A Dewhurst spokesman has not responded to a request for comment.",
"\n\nIf the measures do not pass, Dewhurst earlier said he expects that Gov. Rick Perry will call the Legislature back into a second special session. ",
"That did little to dissuade the vocal opposition from Democrats and others, including protesters who have packed the Capitol at various times since the House debate occurred on Sunday.",
"\n\nWearing pink Mizuno tennis shoes, Davis began the filibuster at 11:18 a.m., when Dewhurst interrupted the author of Senate Bill 5, the anti-abortion bill, as he was explaining its provisions and asking the Senate to accept a tougher House-passed version that some GOP leaders believe will close most abortion clinics in Texas.",
"\n\nDewhurst asked Davis if she intended to filibuster, as she had announced on Monday. ",
"She said yes, and immediately began talking in opposition to the bill.",
"\n\nAs Davis entered the chamber before the debate began, she was cheered by dozens of protesters wearing orange t-shirts who were standing-room-only in the gallery. ",
"Dewhurst quickly admonished them that outbursts could get them ejected by state troopers stationed around the perimeter of the gallery.",
"\n\nDavis began her speech by blasting Republican leaders at the statehouse for using the special session to advance a political agenda at the cost of women’s health. ",
"Not only did the Senate allow the bill to be debated without the two-thirds support that is traditionally required, she said, but political ambitions of some leaders have taken priority over the best interests of Texas.",
"\n\nShe called it “a raw abuse of power.”",
"\n\n“The reality of this bill is not to make women safer … it’s to force the closure of facilities across the state of Texas that would provide proper care to women,” Davis said.",
"\n\n“Partisanship and ambition are not unusual in a state capitol … (but) right here, in Texas, right now, it has risen to a level of profound irresponsibility and the raw abuse of power. ",
"The actions intended by our state’s leaders hurt Texas; they hurt Texas women and their families.”",
"\n\nTuesday’s filibuster was the second of Davis’ Senate career, and is likely to trigger increased speculation that Davis could be a future candidate for governor or other statewide office. ",
"She is currently running for reelection to her Senate seat.",
"\n\nTwo years ago, in what was believed to be one of the shortest filibusters in Texas Senate history, Davis talked for just over an hour and 20 minutes to kill a school-finance bill she opposed.",
"The bill passed anyway in a special session that began the next day.",
"\n\nThe Texas filibuster record: 43 hours in 1977 by then-Sen. Bill Meier of Euless, who was trying to defeat a bill on workplace injury claims. ",
"The bill passed immediately after Meier sat down from his talk-a-thon.",
"\n\nSince the first Texas Legislature met in 1846, there have been more than 100 filibusters, according to state archives in the Legislative Reference Library.",
"\n\nFor the first hour of Davis’ filibuster Tuesday, most senators — Republicans and Democrats — stayed in their seats listening to her remarks. ",
"They then began filtering out into the senators’ lounge to eat lunch, where several GOP senators said a strategy was being explored to stop Davis’ speech later today so SB 5 and the remaining bills can be passed.",
"\n\nIn the seats ringing the Senate chamber floor sat an array of Texas House members: Democrats who unsuccessfully tried to stop passage of SB 5 on Sunday and Monday, and Republicans who strongly supported it. ",
"Both sides said they expect Perry will likely call lawmakers back into another special session if the bills die because of the filibuster.",
"\n\nSen. Kirk Watson, D-Austin, the chairman of Senate Democrats, said Davis, a mother of two and an outspoken advocate on women’s issues, led the filibuster because of her involvement in women’s health care.",
"\n\n“There’s an assault on women in this state and this legislation is a prime example of that,” Watson said. “",
"It’s important that a woman who’s the mother of two daughters will be the one standing. ",
"We will all be there providing assistance and help.”",
"\n\nFor supporters of SB 5, Tuesday’s filibuster was upsetting, even maddening. ",
"At mid-afternoon, conservative Republican lawmakers from Tarrant County were poised to deliver 84,610 blank pages of pink and light-blue paper to Davis’ office representing lives lost to abortions in 2011.",
"\n\n“It is my hope and prayer that Senator Davis would recognize all of the letters that will never be written due to the tragedy of abortion today,” said state Rep. Jonathan Stickland, R-Bedford.",
"\n\nMary Hartwick, a Georgetown mother of two grown children and grandmother of six, echoed the sentiment: “This is not about politics. ",
"It is not about filibusters. ",
"It is about the death of unborn children. ",
"It has to stop.”",
"\n\nAs Tuesday’s filibuster progressed, the gallery remained full — mostly with abortion rights supporters who oppose SB 5. ",
"Despite occasional outbursts and light applause as Davis read from letters from women who opposed SB 5, the crowd was mostly quiet.",
"\n\nAt one point, at midafternoon, after spectators applauded and hissed, Sen. Tommy Williams, R-The Woodlands, had Dewhurst read a Senate rule that allows the Legislature to imprison for 48 hours anyone who disrupte the proceedings.",
"\n\nAbout 12:40 p.m., a demonstrator in the gallery began yelling about abortions being genocide. ",
"Mike Bradford of Austin was quickly ousted by troopers, but was not arrested.",
"\n\n“Abortions disproportionately affect African-Americans, and I see all these white women here opposing this (bill),” he told reporters outside the gallery. “",
"They are killing innocent lives. ",
"Someone needs to say that. ",
"That’s why I am here.”"

"Amino acid residues in third intracellular loop of melanocortin 1 receptor are involved in G-protein coupling.",
"\nTo delineate domains essential for G-protein coupling in melanocortin 1 receptor (MC1R), we mutated polar and basic residues to alanine at eleven positions in the putative third intracellular loop and determined consequent changes in the ligand binding and generation of second messenger cAMP. ",
"Results demonstrate that ligand binding affinity was not affected by any of the mutations. ",
"However, every mutant displayed reduced functional response as compared to the wild type receptor. ",
"Replacement of residues (K226, R227, Q228, R229, H232, Q233 and K238) present in second half of third intracellular loop resulted in an almost complete loss of functional response. ",

"Hillary speeches reveal a pro-war corporatist elitist\n\nOn October 15, WikiLeaks released emails from Clinton campaign Chair John Podesta that contained full transcripts from three speeches Hillary Clinton gave to Goldman Sachs. ",
"The speeches, which Clinton refused to release during the Democratic primaries, confirmed what millennials and progressives fear most about her—that she is a war mongering, pro-Wall Street elitist.",
"\n\nIn the second presidential debate, Clinton affirmed her support for a no-fly zone in Syria. ",
"In April, White House Security Adviser Ben Rhodes criticized the idea, as it would divert resources away from fighting ISIS. ",
"In a 2013 interview with TheNew York Times, General Martin E. Dempsey estimated 70,000 ground troops would be needed to enact and maintain a no-fly zone in Syria, with those estimates likely much higher now that Russia is involved in the conflict, and could risk direct military conflict with Russian forces.",
"\n\nThough Clinton supporters have cited saving civilian lives as a reason for supporting a no-fly zone in Syria, during a June 2013 speech to Goldman Sachs, Clinton admitted creating one would cause a lot of casualties in Syria. “",
"To have a no-fly zone you have to take out all of the air defense, many of which are located in populated areas,” she said. “",
"So our missiles, even if they are standoff missiles so we’re not putting our pilots at risk—you’re going to kill a lot of Syrians. ",
"So all of a sudden this intervention that people talk about so glibly becomes an American and NATO involvement where you take a lot of civilians.”",
"\n\nRegarding China, Clinton described an argument she had with Chinese officials about the Pacific Ocean: “We liberated it, we defended it. ",
"We have as much claim to all of the Pacific. ",
"And we could call it the American Sea, and it could go from the West Coast of California all the way to the Philippines.” ",
"Later in the discussion, Clinton added “we’re going to ring China with missile defense. ",
"We’re going to put more of our fleet in the area.”",
"\n\nClinton also complained that covertly intervening in foreign affairs isn’t as easy as it used to be. “",
"My view was you intervene as covertly as is possible for Americans to intervene,” Clinton said. “",
"We used to be much better at this than we are now. ",
"Now, you know, everybody can’t help themselves. ",
"They have to go out and tell their friendly reporters and somebody else: ‘Look what we’re doing and I want credit for it,’ and all the rest of it.”",
"\n\nHer foreign policy record is a frequently-cited complaint from progressives who oppose Clinton’s perpetuation of endless war. ",
"Under her service as secretary of state, weapons exports from the United States to foreign governments substantially increased, while Clinton supported several disastrous regime changes abroad.",
"\n\nBut wait, there’s more. ",
"In her speeches regarding the 2008 economic recession, Clinton sided with Wall Street. ",
"For years, there has been a public outcry to prosecute top executive bankers for the fraudulent and illegal behaviors that caused the 2008 economic recession, but instead of any repercussions, the big banks received big bailouts and impunity. ",
"Clinton demonstrated that she was okay with that in her speeches.",
"\n\n“There’s nothing magic about regulations, too much is bad, too little is bad. ",
"How do you get to the golden key, how do we figure out what works? ",
"And the people that know the industry better than anybody are the people who work in the industry,” Clinton said during an October 2013 speech to Goldman Sachs.",
"\n\nClinton claimed the backlash and resentment toward Wall Street was a “misunderstanding” and said banks weren’t performing as well as they could out of fear of regulations. “",
"There are so many places in our country where the banks are not doing what they need to do because they’re scared of regulations,” she said. ",
"Clinton then said Dodd-Frank was enacted for “political reasons.” ",
"Had these speeches been exposed during the Democratic primaries, they would have had severely negative implications, and undermined Clinton’s self-portrayal as a presidential candidate who will rein in Wall Street.",
"\n\nPodesta’s emails revealed the top administration positions for Barack Obama’s presidency in 2008 were nearly entirely outlined by then-Citigroup executive Michael Froman. ",
"Clinton and the Democratic Party have received millions of dollars in campaign contributions from Wall Street firms in 2016. ",
"Her ties to Wall Street and dubious campaign contributions suggest Wall Street’s impunity and influence in government will only worsen under a Clinton presidency. ",
"This is in addition to the militaristic rhetoric from Clinton, likely to continue perpetuating U.S. engagement in military conflicts abroad."

"Introduction {#s1}\n============\n\nNasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is a relatively uncommon, malignant, head and neck cancer that is found worldwide but is highly prevalent in South China and Southeast Asia [@pone.0109951-Wu1]. ",
"It frequently occurs in the Guangdong area, China, where the annual incidence reaches 25 cases per 100,000 [@pone.0109951-Busson1]. ",
"A combination of radiotherapy and adjuvant chemotherapy is now the standard treatment for NPC. ",
"However, the 5-year survival rate is only 50--60% due to the frequency of distant metastasis and local recurrence and the long-term secondary effects of radiotherapy and chemotherapy [@pone.0109951-Xu1]. ",
"In addition, these methods may sometimes cause severe acute toxicity and even increased incidence of late complications without obvious survival benefits [@pone.0109951-Xiao1]. ",
"Currently, the use of natural, synthetic or biologic chemicals has been considered as effective cancer chemopreventions in the prevention, suppression or delay of the carcinogenesis process [@pone.0109951-Huang1].",
"\n\nThe plant *Rabdosia serra* (*R. serra*), which is called Xihuangcao in Chinese, has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for centuries as a characteristic plant resource in south China. ",
"The genus *R. serra* is well known for its antibacterial, antiviral, anti-inflammatory and antitumor activities [@pone.0109951-China1], is a rich source of diterpenoids and is widely distributed in China. ",
"It has been shown that some chemicals isolated from this plant have inhibitory effects on cancer cell growth in vitro and tumor growth in vivo. ",
"The strong cytotoxicities of diterpenoids isolated from *R. serra*, such as nodosin, oridonin and lasiokaurin, against human cancer cells were verified in previous investigations. ",
"Diterpenoid could effectively reduce the accumulation of COX-2 protein to exhibit cytotoxicity against cancer cells [@pone.0109951-Fang1]. ",
"It also has been shown that diterpenoids (quercetin and oridonin) derived from I. Japonicus exerted its anticancer properties by regulating the NF-κB signaling pathways [@pone.0109951-Nitoda1]-[@pone.0109951-Cui1]. ",
"Additionally, it is known that effusanin C inhibits inflammatory responses via blocking NF-κB signaling in monocytes [@pone.0109951-Kim1].",
"\n\nCOX-2 is an inducible enzyme that plays a critical role in multiple pathophysiological processes such as inflammation, atherosclerosis, tissue injury, angiogenesis and tumorigenesis [@pone.0109951-Sinicrope1], [@pone.0109951-Singh1]. ",
"COX-2 is chronically overexpressed in many premalignant, malignant, and metastatic human cancers, and its expression is tightly controlled by the binding of multiple transactivators such as NF-κB. The transcription factor NF-κB includes two important members: p50 and p65. ",
"NF-κB regulates the transcription of a large number of genes, particularly those involved in immune, inflammatory and antiapoptotic responses [@pone.0109951-Ghosh1]. ",
"The well-known anti-inflammatory substances such as glucocorticoids or nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) exert at least a portion of their effects by inhibiting NF-κB activity [@pone.0109951-DeBosscher1]--[@pone.0109951-Yamamoto1].",
"\n\nIn this study, we isolated and identified effusanin E from *R. Serra* and analyzed its anticancer activity and elucidated the underlying mechanisms of its antitumor activities in NPC cells.",

"Supreme Court of Civil Judicature of New South Wales\n\nThe Supreme Court of Civil Judicature of New South Wales was a court established in the early 19th century in the colony of New South Wales. ",
"The colony was subsequently to become a state of Australia in 1901. ",
"The court had jurisdiction to deal with civil disputes where the amount in dispute in the colony was more than £50 sterling. ",
"The Supreme Court of New South Wales replaced the court in 1823 when the Supreme Court was created by the Third Charter of Justice.",
"\n\nBackground\nThe British government established the colony of New South Wales primarily as a penal colony with the intention of encouraging later settlement. ",
"Captain Arthur Phillip was appointed as the colony's first governor and did much to ensure the colony survived and transformed into a modern colonial outpost \nNotwithstanding its beginnings as a penal colony, it soon prospered as a booming agricultural and mercantile colony. ",
"With the increased prosperity came the need for better access to forms of civil justice. ",
"Systems for the resolution of commercial disputes are an important part of the common law tradition in British based legal systems, particularly with the establishment of the rule of law.",
"\n\nThe British authorities foresaw the need for a civil judicial system when the colony was first established. ",
"A court styled the \"Court of Civil Jurisdiction\" was established by the First Charter of Justice as well as a Court of Vice-Admiralty pursuant to letters patent from the High Admiralty in Great Britain. ",
"The Governor of New South Wales would also in time authorise magistrates (the common name for justices of the peace in the colony at the time) to determine smaller debt claims that were taking up the time of these original civil courts. ",
"Author Hilary Golder points to research that magistrates were in fact dealing with small debt claims as early as 1789, one year after the commencement of the colony.",
"\n\nEllis Bent, the first barrister appointed as Deputy Judge Advocate for the colony, made recommendations to Governor Lachlan Macquarie for the establishment of new civil courts. ",
"This was to reflect the changing nature of society in New South Wales from a penal colony to a trading colony. ",
"Bent's recommendation also reflected the public sentiment in New South Wales that it was time for a legally qualified judge to head a superior court in the colony, rather than a military officer who happened to have legal qualifications. ",
"Macquarie supported this. ",
"Whilst not all of Bent's recommendations were taken up, a Select Committee of the House of Commons reporting on the question of transportation to the colonies made similar recommendations. ",
"Eventually the British authorities arranged for new charters to issue for the reform of the civil courts and it is possible that the new courts were established in response to the Rum Rebellion in 1807 and 1808.",
"\n\nConstitution\nThe British authorities introduced three new civil courts into the colony. ",
"They were the Governors Court which had jurisdiction over civil claims in New South Wales and a Lieutenant Governor's Court to deal with civil claims in Van Diemen's Land. ",
"Each court was limited to the value of fifty pounds sterling.",
"\n\nFor claims over fifty pounds, a new court styled the \"Supreme Court of Civil Judicature\" was established. ",
"This court was commonly known as the \"Supreme Court\", a usual practice in British colonies according to author and judge William Windeyer. ",
"The court was created by letters patent dated 4 February 1814 issued by King George III the reigning sovereign of England at the time. ",
"It was composed of a judge (who was appointed by the British authorities, and two magistrates (the common name used for justices of the peace at the time) appointed by the Governor of New South Wales. ",
"The judge was the presiding officer. ",
"Alternatively, the court could be constituted by just the judge and one of the two magistrates appointed by the governor.",
"\n\nThe court had jurisdiction to hear and determine actions summarily relating to land, houses, debt, contract, trespass, and just about any other common law or equitable cases over the value of £50 sterling. ",
"One defect in the Court was the ability for a governor to possibly \"stack\" the court. ",
"Sir John Wylde, the last judge-advocate for the colony and the last judge of this court, noted in a report to the British authorities that there was such a possibility of appointing laymen with no legal knowledge to the court. ",
"Biographer R. J. Mckay suggests that Governor Thomas Brisbane had in fact attempted to do this.",
"\n\nSittings of the court under Jeffery Bent\nJeffery Bent, the first judge of the court, arrived in Sydney by boat on 28 July 1814 with great expectations. ",
"Governor Lachlan Macquarie had high hopes for Bent. ",
"However, Bent refused to come ashore until he was honoured with a salute appropriate to his status. ",
"Macquarie authorised an appropriate salute with gunfire and Bent disembarked. ",
"Bent was subsequently sworn in as a judge on 12 August 1814.",
"\n\nAfter being sworn in, Bent refused to open his court until proper facilities were put in place for his use. ",
"Bent and Macquarie argued over the proper place to hold the court. ",
"Bent sought the use of the southern wing of the general hospital for use of the court and for judge's chambers. ",
"However, Macquarie had already allocated these for medical uses. ",
"Macquarie instead provided the southern wing and central area of the hospital. ",
"The matter was eventually decided by the British authorities which came down in favour of Macquarie.",
"\n\nAt the end of 1814, the new court house which Macquarie had authorised to be built had been completed. ",
"However, Bent refused to sit until there were proper lawyers who could appear in his court. ",
"The \"lawyers\" in New South Wales at that time were all ex-convicts who had been transported to New South Wales for their crimes. ",
"As a result of their punishment, they were struck off from the roll of lawyers in England and therefore not eligible to practise as a lawyer. ",
"Prior to Bent leaving for Sydney, Bent had recommended that two lawyers from England be assisted to Sydney. ",
"They were William Henry Moore and Frederick Garling. ",
"Whilst Moore had arrived in the colony on 27 January 1815, Garling's ship had been delayed until August 1815.",
"\n\nIt therefore appeared likely that the court would not sit until late in 1815. ",
"In April 1815, Macquarie then attempted to recommend the appointment of George Crossley and Edward Eagar to Bent. ",
"Both Crossley and Eagar were ex-convict lawyers. ",
"Crossley was a colourful one as well. ",
"However, Bent railed against Macquarie, alleging inference with matters judicial. ",
"Macquarie was powerless to act, as Bent's commission did not require him to obey Macquarie's directions.",
"\n\nBent decided to open court on 1 May notwithstanding the absence of Garling. ",
"Macquarie nominated two magistrates to sit with Bent. ",
"They were William Broughton and Alexander Riley. ",
"After a number of stormy interactions between them and Bent, Broughton and Riley were of the view that ex-convict lawyers should be admitted temporarily to appear before the court until Garling had arrived. ",
"Bent, furious that his views were being disregarded, refused to sit on the bench, thereby effectively preventing the court from sitting.",
"\n\nThis refusal, with other difficulties mounting between Macquarie and the two Bents, led to Macquarie writing to the British authorities asking for both of the Bents to be removed, to which Lord Bathurst agreed in January 1816. ",
"Whilst Bathurst agreed that ex-convicts should not practise, he also took the view that the absence of the sittings of the court was more serious an issue that admitting ex-convicts, and that the court should actually sit.",
"\n\nBent decided to resume sitting on 5 October 1816 when Garling ceased acting as Deputy Judge Advocate. ",
"However, Bent deferred this resumption until 1 December 1816. ",
"Macquarie at his wits' end decided to cancel the appointments of the two magistrates to sit on the court. ",
"This effectively prevented Bent from resuming the sittings. ",
"However, Bent decided to issue a warrant for the arrest of Riley. ",
"The provost-marshal declined to execute, and eventually Macquarie was to issue a declaration that Bent was \"'positively and absolutely removed from his appointment as Judge of the Supreme Court in, and a magistrate of this Territory\".",
"\n\nSittings of the court under Barron Field\n\nBarron Field was appointed as the replacement for Bent in May 1816. ",
"Field's arrival in the colony signified that the court would actually start sitting. ",
"However, Field's independence was to prove questionable. ",
"Soon after his arrival, he instructed an English attorney practising in the colony to sue for the sum of £424 owed to a London merchant who had given Field his power of attorney. ",
"This was unusual as Field was a litigant in his own court and would have therefore decided his own case. ",
"Unfortunately for Field, whilst he was naturally successful in his action, the English attorney didn't transfer the money recovered to Field. ",
"Field then sued the attorney for the sum. ",
" Field further threatened to strike the attorney off the roll of attorneys (or in other words, disbar him) if the money wasn't paid. ",
"Even when the attorney provided the money, Field still struck off the attorney. ",
"Royal Commissioner John Thomas Bigge was later to criticize Field for the latter action.",
"\n\nField's term as judge was not to improve. ",
"Field attempted to admit as an attorney a convict who had been struck off in England for numerous offences. ",
"Field then also ruled that pardoned convicts were unable to hold property, sue or give evidence in any Court. ",
"This was particularly resented, as the colony at that time was made up largely of ex-convicts who had served their sentences in the penal colony. ",
"Commissioner Bigge commented upon this by saying 'The convict part of the population of New South Wales view Mr Justice Field's administration of the law with sentiments of dissatisfaction. ",
"The free classes of the population … equally apprehend the effects of his violent and unforgiving temper, as well as of his personal prejudices, upon his future decisions … In my opinion, Mr Justice Field does not possess that degree of temper and deliberation necessary to conduct the judicial business of such a Colony'. ",
"Bigge was to eventually recommend the abolition of the court and that Field should not be appointed to the new Supreme Court.",
"\n\nSittings in Van Diemen's Land\n\nField was the first superior court judge to sit in Van Diemen's Land, which was to eventually become the State of Tasmania. ",
"This occurred in January 1819. ",
"The settlement had been hampered by the lack of sittings of a superior court. ",
"Most suitors had to structure cases so that they could be brought in the Lieutenant Governor's Court, a court which was limited to £50. ",
"For cases over that amount, suitors would have to make an arduous journey from Hobart to Sydney. ",
"At the time, the journey took weeks or even months in the treacherous waters off the eastern coast of Australia.",
"\n\nField was welcomed into \"HobartTown\" after his journey from Sydney with a thirteen gun salute by the Lieutenant-Governor of the settlement. ",
"The first sittings of the court was preceded by a parade of Field in his ceremonial robes with all of the settlement's magistrates. ",
"As it was the English Queen's birthday, a twenty one gun salute was also given. ",
"A building in the settlement was converted into a court room for the sittings.",
"\n\nThe following year in 1820, Field held further sittings in Hobart. ",
"On this occasion, both Field and Judge Advocate Wylde held civil and criminal courts in Van Diemen's Land. ",
"In the latter case, Field constituted the Court of Criminal Jurisdiction, the first time that court sat in Hobart.",
"\n\nSittings under John Wylde\n\nBigge's recommendation was for the court to be abolished. ",
"He also recommended that Field not be reappointed to any new court created in New South Wales. ",
"Field as a consequence sailed immediately for England in the Competitor in February 1824. ",
"He did not wait for the arrival of a successor nor for the establishment of the new court. ",
"Biographer Currey suggests that Field effectively \"deserted his post\", which would effectively mean that Field was the first judge in Australia to do so. ",
"\n\nIronically, John Wylde who had nominated Field for the position of judge in the first place, graciously stepped in and volunteered to Governor Thomas Brisbane that he should act as judge in the absence of Field. ",
"Brisbane accepted this gesture, although it would seem that Brisbane was happy to see both Field and Wylde leave the colony. ",
"Accordingly, Wylde was sworn in as judge on 23 March 1824. ",
"He continued to act in the role until the new Supreme Court of New South Wales opened under Francis Forbes on 17 May 1824.",
"\n\nRules of court\nThe Rules and Orders of the court were drawn up by Field rather than Bent. ",
"The rules followed the procedures in use at the time in England in superior courts. ",
"This marked a departure from earlier courts in New South Wales where formality had been minimised to some extent due to the colonial conditions at the time. ",
"Equity proceedings used the traditional parchments. ",
"Longer and more complex documents became the norm under the Court. ",
"This led to criticisms that the Court was being bogged down in legal procedures rather than doing justice to the case.",
"\n\nAfter the abolition of the Court, the Chief Justice of the new Supreme Court, Francis Forbes, remarked that the changes introduced by Field in the Rules were prone to being badly received by the public. ",
"Forbes said that the public \"might be excused for believing,[that the rules] were not so operative in facilitating the ends of justice, as in filling the pockets of the practitioners\" This was particularly a concern as lawyers in those days were paid by number of words written, and longer and more complex documents allowed steeper legal fees to be charged.",
"\n\nAbolition\n\nThe court's workload was light. ",
"Between April 1817 and January 1821 Bigge reported that the Court dealt with 165 actions at law and 13 suits in equity. ",
"Bigge's recommendation was that this court, the Governors Court and the Lieutenant Governor's Court should be abolished and replaced with two new superior courts. ",
"Subsequently, the court was abolished in 1823 after being in existence for some nine years, but effectively only sitting for seven years. ",
"It was replaced by two new Supreme Courts in New South Wales and in Van Diemens Land. ",
"Both courts were to be statutory courts established by Letters Patent dated 13 October 1823. ",
"Those letters were authorised by the British Parliament through the passing of the New South Wales Act 1823 (UK).",
"\n\nAppeals\nThere was provision for an appeal to the Governor of New South Wales. ",
"The governor was assisted by the Judge-Advocate of the colony. ",
"Where the amount in dispute did not exceed £3,000, the governor's decision was final and there was no further provision for appeal. ",
"If the amount exceeded £3,000, then there was a right of further appeal to the Privy Council. ",
"In some situations, the appellant had to give security to the value of at least double the amount in dispute before appealing. ",
"Of course, there was the expectation of extensive delay in pursuing a further appeal as a journey back to England would be required to litigate the matter.",

"BY Herschel Smith\n\n8 years, 8 months ago\n\nThat’s what Josh Horwitz would have you believe. ",
"Actually, the Huffington Post can’t get their narrative straight. ",
"Five days before publishing Horwitz’ piece they published the narrative that background checks of firearms spiked in 2011 and especially towards the end of the year. ",
"But let’s note that consistency isn’t the stock and trade of the Huffington Post and move on.",
"\n\nWhile noting that background checks for firearms had increased, Josh points out that “Thousands of background checks each year result in denials” … “Background checks are performed under a number of circumstances that do not involve gun sales, for example, when an individual pawns a weapon and later redeems it” … “In some states, a concealed handgun permit exempts permit holders from having to undergo additional background checks when they purchase new firearms,” and so on the explanation goes.",
"\n\nThat these same exceptions and caveats existed prior to 2011 and also effected data from the previous years (assumed to the same extent unless and until proven otherwise) is irrelevant to Josh. ",
"What matters is selling the narrative. ",
"But Josh must have missed the memoranda, and presumably there isn’t really any better witness than firearms dealers. ",
"A sampling (albeit anecdotal) follows.",
"\n\nThere has been an increase in both the sale of firearms and in concealed handgun permit requests in Gaston County, North Carolina, in 2011.",
"\n\nIn Kernersville, North Carolina, firearms sales were up as much as 15% over the previous year.",
"\n\nAt Adventure Outdoors in the Atlanta suburb of Smyrna, twice as many firearms were sold last month as they did in December of 2010.",
"\n\nIn Elkhart, Indiana, Midwest Gun Exchange is seeing a lot of first time families and women becoming involved in the shooting sports and self defense.",
"\n\nIn Tucson, Arizona, there are record-setting sales for firearms to women.",
"\n\nAt Second Amendment Sports in Bakersfield, California, firearms sales were up 25% from the previous year.",
"\n\nIn and around Cleveland, Ohio, local firearms dealers say their sales have been up from anywhere between 20 and 40 percent. ",
"A large part of the surge in gun sales has been by women who want to learn how to shoot and defend themselves.",
"\n\nIn Fort Worth, Texas, sales of firearms to women have been “through the roof” according to dealers.",
"\n\nIn Yakima, Washington, firearms sales climbed by a quarter over the holidays compared to last year.",
"\n\nThe Gun Center in Frederick, Maryland, had its best December in 25 years in business — “and not by a little,” owner Bill Kelley said.",
"\n\nAt Sharpshooters in Lubbock, Texas, they have seen their handgun sales increase by 10 to 15 percent over the past year.",
"\n\nSales of firearms to women in Permian Basin, Texas, have doubled.",
"\n\nYou see, Josh Horwitz relied on data supplied by the highly biased Violence Policy Center for his analysis. ",
"But he is using the data to attempt to dispute a tidal wave of evidence that the second amendment is alive and well with American citizens.",
"\n\nIt isn’t clear what Horwitz is attempting to do with his analysis. ",
"Perhaps he intends to substantiate the constant assertions by his organization and the Brady Campaign that the NRA “owns” the Congress, and always uses scare tactics to convince people to give more and more of their money to the NRA in order to protect the second amendment – that the real threat isn’t gun control advocates, and in fact, there are fewer gun owners in America. ",
"The real threat is the NRA. ",
"Perhaps that’s his aim, although it’s an odd, forced, stilted and uncompelling argument.",
"\n\nThen there are those like me who believe that until recently (in American Rifleman magazine), Wayne LaPierre and Chris Cox have undersold and soft pedaled the message. ",
"They seem to have just recently hit their stride, but this just goes to show that not all of us propagate NRA conspiracy theories or fall prey to them. ",
"Many of us are out ahead of them waiting for them to catch up. ",
"If the NRA is Horwitz’ target, his analysis fails miserably. ",
"If not, then no one knows why he wrote the analysis in the first place. ",
"Besides, if there are fewer and fewer gun owners in America, then there is far less need for gun control laws, another unintended consequence of Horwitz’ argument."

"The end of the ‘90s was a time of healing for Korn vocalist Jonathan Davis. ",
"After a decade of indulging his most dangerous and depraved rock 'n' roll fantasies and suffering a breakdown at the end of the ride, Davis decided to get sober and tone down his extracurricular activities. ",
"In conjunction, Korn hired dedicated studio producer Brendan O’Brien to help them stay focused and work at peak efficiency. ",
"The resulting album, Issues, came out on Nov. 16, 1999, and kept the band on an upward career arc.",
"\n\n“I think Brendan was really important for helping us achieve the sounds we wanted on this record,” guitarist James “Munky” Shaffer told me in 1999. “",
"He’s a workhorse and we needed someone like that to motivate us.”",
"\n\nAs on their 1998 commercial triumph Follow the Leader, Korn maintained their core heaviness while incorporating a barrage of quirky guitar hooks and irresistible vocal melodies. ",
"And once again, the band hit a nerve through a combination of staccato, down-tuned guitars, booming funk-driven bass lines, tortured vocals and experimental electronic embellishments.",
"\n\n“When we’re working on something, our only goal is it’s gotta be great and it’s gotta still sound like Korn,” Shaffer said. “",
"That’s the most important thing.”",
"\n\n“We’re not gonna go off in some wacky new direction,” agreed fellow guitarist Brian “Head” Welch. \"",
"When you listen to this record, you’re not gonna go back and ask, ‘Fuck man, who the hell is this?’ ",
"You’re gonna get what you wanted to hear.”",
"\n\nPerhaps Issues is best described as a variation on a theme. “",
"Falling Away From Me” mined the same brooding, spacey territory as Follow the Leader’s “Freak on a Leash,” while “Hey Daddy” resurrects terrifying themes first addressed on Korn’s “Daddy,” and “Beg for Me,” which shifts from a creepy party song to a nightmarish demolition fest, is redolent of Life is Peachy’s “Swallow.”",
"\n\n“We wanted totally heavy, killer guitar riffs that were kinda weird, but really slamming,” Welch said. “",
"And they had to have a groove. ",
"That was really super important.”",
"\n\nLyrically, Davis addressed the mental anguish he was in before he got sober and started taking antidepressants. ",
"In “Beg for Me,” he screams, “Everyone is looking at me / I can't get out of bed there is evil in my head / Everyone just let me be.”",
"\n\n“I was taking the weight of the world on my shoulders and I started breaking down and freaking out,” Davis said. “",
"I stopped drinking because I thought it would make me feel better, but it didn’t, and that’s when it really started to scare me. ",
"I stayed in bed all the time because I couldn’t deal with the world.\"",
"\n\nHe added, “I wouldn’t eat because I’d be afraid germs were gonna kill me. ",
"I lost a lot of weight. ",
"That’s when I went to a doctor and he gave me some drugs. ",
"At first, I was afraid to take them because I didn’t know what they would do to me or how they would affect my creativity. ",
"Then I started taking them and I felt so much better.”",
"\n\nShaffer, Welch, bassist Reginald “Fieldy” Arvizu and drummer David Silveria started writing songs for Issues in early 1999. ",
"In June, they entered the rehearsal studio with Davis to fine tune the material and the following month they began recording with O’Brien at A&M Studios in West Hollywood, Calif. It took approximately three months to track and mix the 16 songs on the record.",
"\n\n“There were times when we second-guessed ourselves,” Davis said. “",
"But when we heard the final mix we were all smiling and laughing. ",
"We fucking loved it. ",
"It’s harsh and brutal like a lot of our stuff, but we were really happy with the songs.”",
"\n\nThe day before the album was released, Korn played Issues in its entirety at a special show at the legendary Apollo Theater in Harlem, N.Y. The show was a celebration of the joy they felt having completed the album, and the band was accompanied onstage by a choir and the New York City Police Department Pipes and Drums section. ",
"Coming at the heart of the nu-metal revolution, Issues debuted at No. ",
"1 on the Billboard album chart with more than 500,000 copies sold in its first week of release. ",
"The disc has gone on to sell more than 5 million units in the United States alone, and a total of 13 million worldwide.",
"\n\nThe first single, “Falling Away From Me,” reached No. ",
"99 on the Singles chart, No. ",
"7 on the Alternative Rock chart and No. ",
"7 on the Mainstream Rock chart. “",
"Make Me Bad” fared almost as well, hitting No. ",
"9 at Alternative Rock and No. ",
"7 at Mainstream.",
"\n\nWhile Davis remained clean and sober in the wake of the success of Issues, other band members saw their popularity as an opportunity to up the ante on their rock 'n' roll indulgences, causing friction and turmoil that peaked years later with the departures of Welch and Silveria.",
"\n\nLoudwire contributor Jon Wiederhorn is the co-author of Louder Than Hell: The Definitive Oral History of Metal, as well as the co-author of Scott Ian’s autobiography, I’m the Man: The Story of That Guy From Anthrax, and Al Jourgensen’s autobiography, Ministry: The Lost Gospels According to Al Jourgensen and the Agnostic Front book My Riot!

"Course materials, for example, documents and other information resources that instructors make available to students, are traditionally kept in binders on a “reserve shelf” of a library. ",
"Typical reserve materials consist of copies of previous exams, articles from scientific and trade journals, homework solutions, excerpts from books, and the like. ",
"Generally, there is only one copy of a document placed on reserve. ",
"Furthermore, such document is traditionally available only for in-library use, on a short-term loan basis.",
"\nAn emerging solution to the limitations presented in traditional reserve mechanisms involve placing reserve materials on electronic reserve. ",
"In fact, with the growth of the Internet, electronic document delivery and storage now extends far beyond course reserves to make all types of documents available electronically. ",
"A significant fraction of the documents added to electronic databases, however, exist in an ink-on-paper format. ",
"Those who administer such systems, for example, librarians, college faculty, and school teachers, are thus faced with the task of first converting these paper copies to electronic formats, and then transferring the computer file(s) to an Internet server used to house an electronic documents database.",
"\nThe current two-step process for placing printed materials on electronic reserve is unsatisfactory for many users in that the process may be time-consuming and potentially confusing to an average (non-technical) teacher, librarian, or administrator. ",
"Both the scanning and the file transfer steps require some, if not considerable, technical expertise. ",
"Even someone skilled in the use of a scanner may sometimes struggle to create output files that are both of manageable size and of high display quality. ",
"Many times, post-scanning image processing may be necessary to either reduce the size of the output files and/or make them more legible. ",
"Such post-scanning image processing is time consuming and also requires some technical knowledge.",
"\nAccordingly, there is a need for a system and method for automating the placement of documents into an electronic reserves system. ",
"Such a system and method should preferably cater to the needs of people with little or no technical expertise to facilitate the electronic placement of such documents."

"Fewer Side Effects\n\nThough overweight dieters may think that obesity patients have the advantage with the options available to them, they may not feel the same way after learning about the side effects risk. ",
"What many people don’t realize about pills like Phentermine is that they come with a high chance of side effects. ",
"Those side effects can be mild and temporary, but there is also a risk of severe or even dangerous side effects. ",
"Since this drug isn’t entirely unlike an amphetamine, you may feel your body become a bit more rushed and frantic. ",
"People have reported a faster heartbeat, dizziness, as well as troubles with settling down. ",
"You might find yourself fidgeting, and you will be unable to concentrate. ",
"At the same time, some people’s blood pressure readings have risen to dangerous levels with pills like Phentermine.",
"\n\nOn the other hand, overweight dieters taking non-prescription diet pills like Phentramin-D tablets do not report severe side effects. ",
"They have increased energy and focus. ",
"As a type of stimulant, these pills can be associated with sleep struggles, however that risk drops exponentially as long as the dieter follows the package directions.",
"\n\nReadily Available\n\nWith Phentramin-D tablets, you don’t have to go to a doctor to find the diet pills you need. ",
"You can simply order Phentramin-D online, which saves you time, money, and this will give you some privacy when it comes to your health needs. ",
"Naturally, it’s a good idea to discuss your complete weight loss strategy with your doctor. ",
"However, when it comes to buying these non-prescription pills, it’s your decision and your call. ",

"Ancient philosophers\n\nPhilosophers justifying slavery\n\nThroughout history there have been people who attempted to justify slavery. ",
"Many of them did so purely out of self-interest, in order to continue a barbaric trade, but some historical philosophers sought to justify slavery from the best intentions.",
"\n\nAristotle\n\nThe great Greek philosopher, Aristotle, was one of the first. ",
"He thought that slavery was a natural thing and that human beings came in two types - slaves and non-slaves.",
"\n\nFor that some should rule and others be ruled is a thing not only necessary, but expedient; from the hour of their birth, some are marked out for subjection, others for rule... Aristotle, Politics\n\nSome people, he said, were born natural slaves and ought to be slaves under any circumstances. ",
"Other people were born to rule these slaves, could use these slaves as they pleased and could treat them as property.",
"\n\nNatural slaves were slaves because their souls weren't complete - they lacked certain qualities, such as the ability to think properly, and so they needed to have masters to tell them what to do.",
"\n\nIt's clear that Aristotle thinks that slavery was good for those who were born natural slaves, as without masters they wouldn't have known how to run their lives.",
"\n\nIn fact Aristotle seems to have thought that slaves were 'living tools' rather like domestic animals, fit only for physical labour.",
"\n\nAnd indeed the use made of slaves and of tame animals is not very different; for both with their bodies minister to the needs of life. ",
"Aristotle, Politics\n\nSlaves were not totally incapable of thought, but they only needed minimal amount of rational ability; just enough to understand and carry out their duties.",
"\n\nSimilarly, slaves were not devoid of 'virtue', but once again, they only needed just enough to carry out their duties. ",
"But that 'virtue' was enough for them to be treated as human beings.",
"\n\nAristotle doesn't provide any sensible practical method of recognising natural slaves, and without that it's inevitable that some people will be made slaves who should not be.",
"\n\nAristotle also had a category of 'legal slaves'; they weren't natural slaves but through bad luck - perhaps being taken prisoner in war - they just happened to be slaves at a particular time.",
"\n\nAristotle argued that if the world was just, the legal slaves would be freed, and if any natural slaves were by chance free, they should be made slaves.",
"\n\nPlato\n\nThe Greek philosopher Plato thought similarly that it was right for the 'better' to rule over the 'inferior'.",
"\n\n...nature herself intimates that it is just for the better to have more than the worse, the more powerful than the weaker; and in many ways she shows, among men as well as among animals, and indeed among whole cities and races, that justice consists in the superior ruling over and having more than the inferior. ",
"Plato, Gorgias\n\nHomer\n\nHomer seems to have thought that even if a person wasn’t inferior before they became a slave, enslaving them changed them in such a way as to make them a natural slave:"

"Introduction {#sec1-1}\n============\n\nCerebral palsy (CP) is a group of disorders of the motor system, movement, and/or posture caused by interference with the developing or immature brain.\\[[@ref1]\\] Spasticity, one of the main signs of CP, is a serious issue that affects mobility, causing pain, disability, and interfering with daily activities. ",
"Patients affected with CP suffer from abnormalities in gait and posture due to the damage of the motor nerve fibers that control muscle function, leading to unopposed muscular contraction and stiffness.\\[[@ref2][@ref3]\\] This condition is nonprogressive and can occur during the prenatal, perinatal, or postnatal life as the brain/central nervous system continues to develop throughout the first 5 years of life.\\[[@ref3]\\] The most common cause for CP is premature birth with very low birth weight (\\<1500 g), which is associated with brain hypoperfusion that can lead to brain ischemia, periventricular leukomalacia, and germinal matrix hemorrhage.\\[[@ref4][@ref5]\\]\n\nSpasticity causes impaired bone and muscle development, shortening of the muscles, and deformities in the affected limbs.\\[[@ref6]\\] It most commonly involves the muscles of the lower limbs including the muscles of the thighs, legs, and feet because the motor nerve fibers that innervate the lower limb muscles travel closer in proximity to the ventricles than the nerve fibers involved in the innervation of the upper limbs and thus are more prone to being affected by periventricular insults.\\[[@ref6]\\]\n\nThe overall prevalence of CP worldwide is 2.11/1000 live births.\\[[@ref7]\\] There is an established association between CP with spastic diplegia and preterm children with very low birth weight, and the number of patients diagnosed with spastic CP is growing due to advances in the medical field, especially the advances in neonatal intensive care that allowed for greater survival of preterm children with very low birth weight.\\[[@ref8]\\]\n\nSeveral treatment modalities are available for patients with CP. ",
"The choice of treatment modality depends on the age of the patient, severity of the injury, clinical manifestations, and availability of expertise. ",
"These modalities are classified into rehabilitative modalities, assistive devices, medical modalities, and surgical modalities. ",
"Rehabilitative modalities include physiotherapy, occupational therapy (OT), and others such as speech and language therapy and swallowing therapy. ",
"Assistive devices include walkers, braces, wheelchairs, orthotics, and prosthetics.\\[[@ref3]\\] Medical treatment includes oral muscle relaxants, intramuscular botulinum toxin injection, intrathecal/intravenous baclofen, and benzodiazepines. ",
"Surgical modalities include orthopedic interventions and surgery, osteotomies, muscle and tendon lengthening, baclofen pump insertion, and selective dorsal rhizotomy (SDR).\\[[@ref3]\\] These modalities have increased the survival rates among CP patients.",
"\n\nSDR is one of the best modalities available for treating CP patients with spasticity, especially mobile spastic diplegia, with positive short-term and long-term outcomes.\\[[@ref9]\\] Although SDR has been shown to be efficacious in treating spastic patients, many neurologists and neurosurgeons are not well aware of the procedure, its indications, and expected outcomes. ",
"SDR is performed in a limited number of centers around the world, and it requires effective communication of multidisciplinary teams from various specialties before, during, and after surgery to ensure good patient outcomes. ",
"The aim of this study is to describe the collaborative multidisciplinary approach between neurosurgeons, neurophysiologists, and physiotherapists in performing SDR. ",
"In addition, we delineate three illustrative cases in which SDR was performed.",
"\n\nMaterials and Methods {#sec1-2}\n=====================\n\nPatients {#sec2-1}\n--------\n\nWe performed a retrospective review and analysis of the clinical records of patients who underwent SDR at the King Fahad Medical City (KFMC). ",
"Our inclusion and exclusion criteria are described below and summarized in Tables [1](#T1){ref-type=\"table\"} and [2](#T2){ref-type=\"table\"}. ",
"All patients were examined and treated in the Department of Neurosciences, KFMC. ",
"All patients underwent the same preoperative workup, operation technique, and postoperative care, as described below. ",
"The study was approved by the Institutional Review Board and informed consent was obtained from the patients' guardians involved in the study.",
"\n\n###### \n\nSDR patients' inclusion criteria\n\n![](",
"AJNS-12-454-g001)\n\n###### \n\nSDR patients' exclusion criteria\n\n![](",
"AJNS-12-454-g002)\n\nPatient demographics, including age, gender, diagnosis, clinical symptoms, neuroimaging, operation, sectioning rate, and intra- and post-operative complications were assessed. ",
"Patients' outcomes were evaluated and compared to preoperative measurements based on clinical examination of power, tone (Ashworth scale), gait, and range of motion, as well as activities of daily living (ADL), gross motor function classification system (GMFCS), and gross motor function measure (GMFM) at 6, 12, and 24 months.",
"\n\nSelection criteria {#sec2-2}\n------------------\n\nNot every CP patient with spasticity is a candidate for SDR. ",
"Selection criteria are made in order to choose those that will benefit the most from the surgery. ",
"The criteria we follow include, but are not limited to, the items in Tables [1](#T1){ref-type=\"table\"} and [2](#T2){ref-type=\"table\"}. ",
"In our center, all patients must have strong lower extremity extensors, and patients' ability to stand should not be dependent on spasticity. ",
"This is verified by asking the candidate to stand from squatting position at least 10 times consecutively. ",
"Helping the candidate to stand against gravity by supporting the pelvic girdle during the test is permitted.",
"\n\nThe procedure is not recommended if any of the criteria elements is not met or in the presence of any contraindication. ",
"All SDR patients should be motivated to follow-up and cooperate postoperatively with an intensive rehabilitation program in order to facilitate their regain of muscle function and to attain better outcomes from the surgery. ",
"We will only admit the candidate for surgery if an intensive inpatient rehabilitation bed is available for the patient for 6 weeks postoperatively, and if the patient\\'s family is willing to cooperate with the length of stay for the inpatient and the following outpatient rehabilitative programs. ",
"The surgery is not indicated if the predominating manifestation of CP is dystonia, athetosis, ataxia, or if the trunk tone is not adequate to support walking. ",
"In general, the patient should have an adequate cognitive status, and a stable psychological status.",
"\n\nPreoperative workup {#sec2-3}\n-------------------\n\nA detailed medical history is obtained from the patient and his/her parents/guardian with focus on the perinatal events (gestational age, multiple or single birth, birth weight, hemorrhagic and ischemic events, infections, seizures). ",
"The medical team should specifically inquire about any prior modality of treatment, e.g. intrathecal baclofen or orthopedic surgery. ",
"A neurological examination is also performed to confirm the increased muscle tone and hyperactive reflexes. ",
"In addition, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain and spinal cord, as well as X-rays of the hip and the spine, should be done in order to detect any abnormalities for which the procedure might be contraindicated, and to establish the baseline for the patient, which will aid in anticipating the outcomes. ",
"Preoperatively, a comprehensive physiotherapy assessment is performed in order to establish the baseline and anticipate the outcomes for the patient. ",
"This includes assessment of muscle tone, muscle length, functional mobility, GMFM, and GMFCS in addition to gait analysis, bracing assessment, and videotaping of the patient\\'s function in different activities. ",
"Consent for the photography and videotaping of the patient is first obtained by the physiotherapist. ",
"Depending on the patient\\'s ability, the following activities should be videotaped: Long sitting, half kneel to stand, or getting up from the floor by the child\\'s usual maneuver, squatting, walking forward and backward, running, and stair climbing. ",
"Finally, the inpatient treating physiotherapist should conduct a preoperative teaching session with the patient\\'s parents/guardian to explain the process of care at the rehabilitation hospital, the importance of commitment to the postoperative regimen of intensive physiotherapy and continuation of care after discharge, rhizotomy precaution and positioning in bed for the first 6 weeks following surgery, and transferring and lifting techniques that should be followed.",
"\n\nThe medical team should also explain the procedure to the patient and his/her family/guardian, answer their questions, and inform them about the need for intensive postoperative inpatient rehabilitation sessions, if needed. ",
"The team also discusses the possible short- and long-term complications, the goals, and the expected outcomes of the procedure. ",
"The anesthesia team explains the possible complications of the general anesthesia given during and after the surgery. ",
"Consent should be signed by the child patient\\'s parents/guardian. ",
"The anesthesia team would also see the patient on the day preceding the surgery to assess fitness for surgery.",
"\n\nOn the day of the operation, the patient is given midazolam orally. ",
"He/she is taken to the preparation room, where he/she is evaluated by the anesthesia team. ",
"The patient is then transferred to the operation room. ",
"The procedure involves neurosurgery, neurophysiology, physiotherapy, and anesthesia teams, and it takes around 4--5 hours to be performed. ",
"Communication between the teams is essential during the surgery in order to have the best outcome for the patient.",
"\n\nAnesthesia considerations {#sec2-4}\n-------------------------\n\nIn the operating room, the patient will be put into general anesthesia using fentanyl. ",
"Endotracheal intubation is performed with the aid of an intermediate acting muscle relaxant like rocuronium. ",
"A Foley\\'s catheter is also placed. ",
"The patient\\'s general anesthesia is preserved with total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA), propofol, and fentanyl or remifentanyl. ",
"Proper communication with anesthesia is extremely important to achieve successful results. ",
"Avoidance of bolus doses and achieving a steady-state anesthesia are desired and communicated to the anesthesia team. ",
"Long-acting neuromuscular blocking agents should be avoided due to their ability to alter the electromyography (EMG) activity. ",
"Mild anesthesia is advantageous since it does not suppress muscular reflex responses. ",
"Ankle clonus is a reliable sign to monitor the anesthesia effect. ",
"The presence of this sign indicates good neurophysiological monitoring. ",
"Additionally, electroencephalograhy (EEG) is used to identify excessive brain suppression by TIVA medications. ",
"In our experience, a steady-state anesthesia with optimized doses of TIVA is what works best for the patients.",
"\n\nIntraoperative neurophysiology preparation and monitoring {#sec2-5}\n---------------------------------------------------------\n\nNeurophysiological monitoring is a critical component in SDR procedures. ",
"We have adopted a combination technique derived from Peacock *et al*.\\[[@ref10][@ref11]\\] as well as Phillips and Park\\[[@ref12]\\] techniques with minor changes, described below, to achieve greater precision and efficiency. ",
"Among the most important modalities are the EMG, triggered EMG (TEMG) with standard single pulse method and with 50-Hz train method, transcranial motor evoked potentials (TcMEPs), and somatosensory evoked potentials (SSEPs). ",
"Baseline signals are recorded before incision under optimum TIVA anesthetic regimen and communicated to the surgeon.",
"\n\nWe utilize Cadwell Cascade Elite 32 Channel intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring device and place 1.5 m, 0.4 mm needle paired electrodes for EMG monitoring bilaterally on one of the upper limb muscles (most commonly brachioradialis), then the lower limbs muscles including, but not limited to, the iliopsoas, one of the adductors of the thigh (adductor longus, adductor brevis, adductor magnus), tibialis anterior, extensor hallucis longus, gastrocnemius, extensor hallucis brevis, hamstrings (HAMS) bilaterally, as well as the anal sphincter \\[[Figure 1](#F1){ref-type=\"fig\"}\\]. ",
"Most of the electrodes are placed while the patient is supine before switching him/her to the prone position. ",
"Caution is always observed, and muscles with evident clinical spasticity are always included in the protocol in addition to the muscles mentioned before. ",
"A tap-test is performed on each electrode to produce movement artifacts in order to verify that the electrodes are connected to the monitoring device and functioning properly, and impedance testing must show values under 5 kΩ to be acceptable \\[[Figure 1](#F1){ref-type=\"fig\"}\\].",

"B) 50-Hz train stimulation to the rootlets. ",
"Grading is performed thoroughly for sectioning only after completing both components of TEMGs.",
"\n\nIn TcMEP, the signals are recorded from the muscles upon stimulation of the motor cortex via scalp electrodes placed on the head using the 10/20 EEG electrode placement system \\[Figures [1](#F1){ref-type=\"fig\"} and [2](#F2){ref-type=\"fig\"}\\]. ",
"Our surgeons separate motor roots from sensory roots on the basis of anatomy, and no motor mapping is performed in SDR. ",
"The neurophysiology team stimulates the motor cortex to acquire motor evoked potentials after each sensory rootlet sectioning, and communicates the results to the neurosurgeon, and a comparison is made to the baseline TcMEP responses. ",
"Since the stimulation from the cortex is not specific to lower limb muscles only, a bite block should be used during motor stimulation in order to avoid any injury to the patient\\'s tongue due to stimulation of the muscles of mastication. ",
"Care is observed to have a prior clinical history of the patient before conducting this test. ",
"Certain conditions like a prior history of epilepsy, prior electrodes or grid placement in the brain, or presence of a cardiac pacemaker are clearly documented, and a safety benefit ratio is ascertained and discussed prior to conducting this test. ",

"\n\nSelective dorsal rhizotomy procedure {#sec2-7}\n------------------------------------\n\nA dose of antibiotics is given to the patient before making the skin incision. ",
"Afterward, a skin incision is made from just above the second lumbar to just below the first sacral spinal level and narrow laminotomies (L2-S1) are done to reduce the risk of spinal instability postoperatively. ",
"The dura is then opened and secured. ",
"The arachnoid is also opened. ",
"Then, the cauda equina is exposed just at the lower end of the conus down to the second sacral root as it exits the canal \\[[Figure 4](#F4){ref-type=\"fig\"}\\]. ",
"Saline irrigation should be used with caution due to its ability to alter the EMG activity. ",
"The roots are identified grossly through their exit through the transverse foramina of the vertebral segments, as well as by using electrical stimulation. ",
"Sometimes, CP patients show alterations in the muscular innervation due to an existing pathology. ",
"For example, the HAMS muscles are normally innervated by L5-S2, but in some CP patients, EMG activity is seen in the HAMS muscles upon L3 stimulation. ",
"Classical anatomy with the standard known root innervations does not always exist in these patients.",

"The dorsal root is divided into five rootlets (R-a, R-b, R-c, R-d and R-e). ",
"R-c and R-e (solid arrows) are selected for rhizotomy. ",
"Bipolar cautery is performed and micro-scissors (Sc) are used to rhizotomize the selected rootlets. ",
"This process is done one level and one side at a time (d)](AJNS-12-454-g006){#F4}\n\nOnce the segmental spinal roots are identified using anatomy and clear visualization, each spinal root is separated into dorsal sensory and ventral motor roots based on their structure and position \\[[Figure 4](#F4){ref-type=\"fig\"}\\]. ",
"We do not stimulate the motor roots after separating them from the sensory roots in order to avoid exhausting the roots and anterior horns.",
"\n\nThe threshold current, usually measured in milli-amperes, for each dorsal sensory root is identified by placing the root over two hooks of rhizotomy probes, Sabbagh--Bunyan Probes (525317 Inomed Medizintechnik GmbH), and stimulating the root by single pulse threshold identification technique. ",
"This is better achieved by bipolar stimulation. ",
"The threshold will be identified when a first repeatable and reliable response from the muscle(s) innervated by this root is noted. ",
"Ideally, motor roots produce a more robust response upon receiving less current when compared to sensory roots. ",
"Sensory roots should require higher threshold of electrical current to produce a compound muscle action potential (CMAP). ",
"Gradual increase of electrical current with single pulse technique is used. ",
"Each sensory root is stimulated, starting with 1 mA and gradually increasing until a reliable CMAP is observed \\[[Figure 2](#F2){ref-type=\"fig\"}\\]. ",
"Interestingly, we have noticed even \\< 1 mA threshold occasionally in extremely spastic roots. ",
"Each dorsal sensory root is graded upon the criteria described in [Table 3](#T3){ref-type=\"table\"}, and we interpret the findings in combination with the results of sensory rootlet response grading after 50-Hz train stimulation of the rootlets, as described below. ",
"The thresholds are recorded in an internally designed template and the muscles producing the CMAPs upon stimulation for each root are noted. ",
"This is done to identify the severity of spasticity at each individual root level and helps in decision-making upon sectioning of rootlets in the steps described later. ",
"Each sensory root is then separated into five (sometimes 3--8) sensory rootlets using the Sabbagh--Bunyan (525317 Inomed Medizintechnik GmbH) dissecting electrodes, blade electrode, and ball-probe electrode \\[[Figure 4](#F4){ref-type=\"fig\"}\\]. ",
"Sometimes, the sectioning process causes irritation to the rootlets and produces false positive EMG activity that may interfere with the assessment of the rootlet and its grading. ",
"If this happens, irrigation of the area with body temperature saline will restore proper EMG recordings and enable the neurosurgeon to proceed safely. ",
"Afterward, the sensory rootlets are placed, one by one, over the two hooks of the rhizotomy probes, where a train of impulses at 50-Hz is applied, increasing the intensity of the stimulus gradually until the threshold current for each sensory rootlet is established through monitoring the reflex activity from the muscles observed by the physiotherapist as well as a CMAP on the EMG monitoring window \\[[Figure 2](#F2){ref-type=\"fig\"}\\]. ",
"A train of 50-Hz stimulation is given to each sensory rootlet in order to determine the grade of the response according to the criteria in [Table 3](#T3){ref-type=\"table\"}. ",
"It is highly desirable, but not necessarily recommended, to repeat the train stimulation 2--3 times to confirm the grade of the response before sectioning. ",
"Identification of sensory root threshold in the previous step helps here, as most sensory rootlets produce a response in this step at a higher current intensity. ",
"For example, if left L4 root produced a response at 3 mA with single pulse stimulation on the left quadriceps femoris, then after sectioning left L4 root into rootlets, the rootlets would likely produce a response higher than 3 mA at 50-Hz train stimulation.",

"The desirable sectioning percentage at each segment level is 40--60% with the exception of L4 level, where only up to 50% rootlet sectioning is performed in order to avoid causing permanent sensory loss postoperatively and also to minimize complications specifically related to quadriceps femoris muscle function.",
"\n\nCareful observation is required to avoid cutting rootlets with increased sphincter activity, especially if it is coming from sacral rootlets. ",
"Lumbar rootlets that show Grade 3+ or 4+ along with sphincter activity are sectioned with the exception of rootlets at L5 level. ",
"In the first sacral segment level, the rootlets that show high-grade responses with sphincter coverage are spared, whereas rootlets that show minimal sphincter coverage at Grade 3+ or 4+ are cut.",
"\n\nThe neurosurgeon performs the procedure of stimulating, dividing roots into rootlets, re-stimulating each rootlet and cutting the undesired rootlets in all levels on one side before moving to the other. ",
"We usually start from right L2-S1 levels then progress upwards all the way to right L2 then progress downwards on the other side to left L2-S1 levels, or vice versa, for the sake of comfort, reliability, and having a systematic surgical technique. ",

"\n\nDiscussion {#sec1-4}\n==========\n\nSelective dorsal rhizotomy background {#sec2-12}\n-------------------------------------\n\nSDR is a neurosurgical procedure developed in order to reduce the spasticity and improve the mobility in spastic CP patients. ",
"The procedure has evolved throughout history. ",
"In 1898, after performing segmental dorsal rhizotomies in decerebrate cats, Sherrington noted that limb rigidity is a consequence of hyperactive reflexes resulting from the decrease in inhibitory signals coming from damaged motor nerve fibers.\\[[@ref13]\\] Abbe and Bennett were the first surgeons to perform dorsal rhizotomies in human patients in 1889.\\[[@ref14][@ref15]\\]\n\nDuring the years from 1908 to 1912, Dr. Harvey Cushing performed dorsal rhizotomies for a few patients to relieve their spasticity symptoms.\\[[@ref16]\\] In 1913, Foerster used Sherrington\\'s study and other neurosurgeons' studies as basis for improving the procedure. ",
"He sectioned all sensory nerve roots to the lower limbs, which led to improvement in spasticity but also caused severe muscular weakness with complete loss of skin sensation and proprioception.\\[[@ref17]\\]\n\nIn 1967, Gros *et al*., ",
"were the first to perform partial nonselective rhizotomies at each segmental level. ",
"This led to a decrease in both the muscular weakness and loss of proprioception and skin sensation that were associated with the procedure.\\[[@ref18]\\]\n\nIn 1979, Fasano *et al*., ",
"revolutionized the procedure by introducing intraoperative neurophysiological recording, which is still used nowadays.\\[[@ref19][@ref20]\\] They used an electrical stimulator and recorded the EMG responses of the lower limb muscles innervated by the stimulated nerve root. ",
"The stimulator is composed of two electrodes (a cathode and an anode) located 1 cm apart from each other. ",
"After separating the sensory nerve roots into rootlets and recording the electrical threshold (measured in milli-amperes) for each sensory root, they stimulated the rootlets and sectioned the ones that caused constant muscular activity contributing to the patient\\'s spasticity. ",
"This technique enabled them to selectively cut the sensory nerve rootlets involved in the abnormally increased muscular activity, and it was associated with favorable results.\\[[@ref19][@ref20]\\]\n\nDuring the 1980s, Peacock and Arens refined criteria that helped the surgeons identify which rootlets are to be sectioned, and which ones are to be spared.\\[[@ref10][@ref11]\\] They changed the surgical approach to the lumbosacral roots from the extramedullary approach used by Fasano to the intraforaminal approach. ",
"They continued using Fasano\\'s technique of intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring and popularized it in the United States as they published many papers describing the procedure.\\[[@ref10][@ref11]\\]\n\nFarmer *et al*., ",
"at the Montreal Children\\'s Hospital and the Shriners Hospital for Children had most rigorously evaluated the benefit and the short-term and long-term outcomes of this procedure and documented significant positive findings from several functional perspectives.\\[[@ref4][@ref9][@ref21][@ref22][@ref23][@ref24]\\]\n\nPatients selection and surgical approaches {#sec2-13}\n------------------------------------------\n\nOptimal selection of patients is essential to maximize the benefits and reduce the risk of complications. ",
"There are many criteria that have been established by different institutions to select the proper candidates for SDR.\\[[@ref11][@ref25][@ref26]\\] Our selection criteria is optimized to ensure the greatest benefit to the patients. ",
"It is generally known that patients who are independent ambulators preoperatively will have better results than those who need assistive devices.\\[[@ref4]\\] In addition, a normal brain MRI may predict better gross motor skills improvement after surgery compared to patients who have periventricular leukomalacia. ",
"Patients with hydrocephalus may have a less favorable prognosis after the procedure.\\[[@ref27]\\]\n\nVarious surgical techniques have been utilized by neurosurgeons over time. ",
"Peacock and Arens applied SDR through complete laminectomy or laminotomy from the second lumbar to the fifth lumbar or first sacral level, and sometimes the second sacral level (L2-L5 or L2-S1/2), which enabled them to have a complete visualization of the cauda equina.\\[[@ref10]\\] This approach was used by others as well.\\[[@ref28]\\]\n\nThe group at the Montreal Children\\'s Hospital performed a L1-S2 narrow laminotomy for their patients, which enabled them to visualize the whole cauda equina.\\[[@ref28]\\] The laminotomy is closed at the end of the procedure as an attempt to reconstruct the posterior elements, knowing that there is a risk of developing scoliosis in the long-term follow-up postoperatively.\\[[@ref29]\\]\n\nFasano *et al*., ",
"and Park *et al*., ",
"used the conus exposure modality, which involves complete laminectomy at the level of T12-L1, enabling them to visualize the conus medullaris.\\[[@ref20][@ref30]\\] This approach requires a smaller surgical incision, and therefore decreases the risks of postsurgical infections, spinal instability, postsurgical pain, time of operation, and probably the surgical trauma to the rootlets.\\[[@ref31]\\] However, this approach does not facilitate the complete visualization of the cauda equina, and therefore does not aid in the selective identification of the nerve roots, which might be substituted for by utilizing electrophysiology.",
"\n\nAt our institution, the neurosurgeons follow the lumbosacral laminotomy approach. ",
"Narrow laminotomies from L2-S1 are made for better visualization of the cauda equina and the nerve roots exiting the transverse foramina. ",
"The laminotomy is closed at the end of the operation.",
"\n\nNeurophysiology monitoring {#sec2-14}\n--------------------------\n\nIntraoperative neurophysiology monitoring is imperative in SDR procedures. ",
"Multiple modalities can be employed as we described above. ",
"We perform extensive muscle EMG monitoring in order to ensure maximum root coverage, and our EMG recording technique helps us identify the severity of mechanical irritation during exposure and sectioning, besides identifying variations in myotomes. ",
"Our surgeons separate motor roots from sensory roots on the basis of anatomy, and no motor mapping is performed in SDRs. ",
"Motor roots are usually round, small, and ventral while sensory roots are dorsal, broad, and larger than motor roots. ",
"After each sensory rootlet sectioning, the neurophysiology team acquires the TcMEPs, and a comparison is made to the baseline TcMEP responses. ",
"This will reassure surgeons about the maintained integrity of pathways after each sectioning, and provide information to the neurosurgeon about any muscular motor loss, which can happen, sometimes, during the roots separation process where some motor fibers are carried along with the sensory ones. ",
"Hence, the use of TcMEP monitoring helps the surgeons understand the overall neurophysiological picture and the integrity of the pathways and roots during the procedure. ",
"The information gathered through this modality is helpful and more desirable than its absolute avoidance.",
"\n\nWe also record SSEPs as an additional monitoring modality in SDR. ",
"Having reliable SSEP recordings in spastic diplegia patients is uncommon, but SSEPs can be reliably obtained in some patients and in those cases, it can be of great benefit, especially when combined with the other monitoring modalities. ",
"Performing a comparison between the upper limb median nerve SSEPs versus lower limb posterior tibial nerve SSEPs can help the surgeon in identifying and documenting a difference between the upper and lower limb sensory systems. ",
"Ideally, the SSEPs show healthy, sharp morphology waves as the signals ascend from the peripheral nerves to the brain, but in CP patients this is not always the case. ",
"Low amplitude and poor morphology on SSEP are usually due to the patient\\'s pathology. ",
"This can also can be due to the presence of electrical noise caused by the EEG, scalp muscle EMG, or other electrical devices present in the operating room. ",
"Most CP patients show poor morphology in this test, especially from the lower limb nerves. ",
"Overall, considering the potential benefits of SSEP monitoring in a subset of patients, the ease of attaching SSEP electrodes to the patient, and that it does not hinder the surgeons during the surgery or require any change in anesthesia than already used for the other modalities, this test is performed in our patients but is not always helpful.",
"\n\nThe key to successful utilization of intraoperative monitoring to select rootlets for sectioning is to recognize that individual patients differ greatly in the extent to which they demonstrate the different EMG patterns to train stimulation described above. ",
"In our patients, sensory root stimulation/mapping with single pulse technique ranged between intensities of 0.20 mA from very spastic muscles/roots to up to 7 mA in relatively less spastic roots. ",
"Similarly, 50-Hz train stimulation for rootlets stimulation intensities ranged between 0.5 and 15 mA. Careful dissection was especially followed in Grades 3 and 4. ",
"The TcMEP stimulation in our patients resulted in CMAPs at voltages as low as 80--300 V.\n\nSince the original report of Fasano *et al*.,\\[[@ref20]\\] there have been many attempts to clarify the criteria used to determine which roots or rootlets should be sectioned. ",
"Fasano proposed a straightforward criterion; there was either a single response to a 50-Hz train stimulation (normal), or extended response (abnormal). ",
"Peacock *et al*.\\[[@ref10][@ref11]\\] found that this was overly simplified and potentially led to sectioning of more rootlets than necessary to achieve good clinical outcomes. ",
"Thus, they identified at least eight different response patterns and gave each pattern a descriptive name, which has proven useful in communication between the surgeons and neurophysiologists. ",
"The patterns were classified as decremental, squared, decremental squared, incremental, multiphasic, clonic, irregular, and sustained. ",
"The first of these roughly corresponds to Fasano\\'s \"normal\" response, although rather than requiring only a single response to 50-Hz train stimulation, a decremental response only requires that the response amplitude continues to decline throughout the duration of the stimulus train. ",
"The squared and decremental squared categories appear to represent what Fasano *et al*. ",
"would have termed \"lack of inhibition,\" which they considered abnormal. ",
"However, these are considered within the normal range of variation in Peacock\\'s scheme, and would thus be spared from sectioning. ",
"The last five categories, which involve either increasing amplitude of the response during the stimulus train, more complex patterns of alternating excitation and inhibition, or discharges after the end of the stimulus, are all termed abnormal by Peacock *et al*., ",
"as are any responses that spread to multiple segmental levels or involve bilateral responses, and would be candidates for sectioning.",
"\n\nAs discussed above, we utilize a combination technique where we grade sensory roots response after single pulse stimulation in addition to grading sensory rootlet response after 50-Hz train stimulation, according to Philips and Park\\'s criteria. ",
"This criterion does not distinguish among different categories of sustained response, as does Peacock\\'s, but relies primarily on the anatomical distribution of the responses. ",
"Generally, nearly all rootlets producing three or four responses are sectioned, although at least one rootlet may be spared at each level.\\[[@ref28]\\] Mittal *et al*.\\[[@ref32]\\] have studied the reliability of responses to repeated train stimulation, using the grading scheme of Phillips and Park. ",
"They found that 93% of dorsal rootlets had either no change or a change of only one grade between repeated stimulation runs. ",
"They proposed their own algorithm for determining which rootlets to section, in which whole roots are first tested, and if the response is Grade 0, 1, or 2, the root is not subdivided and they move on to the next level. ",
"If the entire root produces a Grade 3 or 4 response, then it is subdivided and each rootlet tested individually. ",
"Only the rootlets that consistently produce a Grade 4 response are sectioned. ",
"Overall, this produced a lesion rate of 51%. ",
"Harper and Nelson\\[[@ref28]\\] also noted that they may section rootlets showing only one or two responses \"if they innervate muscles contributing to the patient\\'s spasticity, and all rootlets at that level have a similar grade.\" ",
"They also note that \"the contraction strength perceived by the electrophysiologist may also be used to distinguish rootlets of the same grade. ",
"Hence, after reviewing all of this data, a combination technique with grading both sensory roots and rootlets has been adapted.\\[[@ref33]\\] The use of intraoperative physiotherapeutic assessment of motor responses and response grade assignment helps in improving the team\\'s decision-making in terms of what rootlets to lesion.\\[[@ref32]\\]\n\nBenefits and outcomes {#sec2-15}\n---------------------\n\nAlmost all the patients with spastic diplegia and some patients with spastic quadriplegia have benefited from the procedure.\\[[@ref4][@ref9][@ref34][@ref35][@ref36][@ref37][@ref38]\\] Reduction of spasticity is what patients and their families expect as a means to an end, and many studies have documented that, but that does not guarantee functional improvement.\\[[@ref23][@ref34][@ref35]\\] After the surgery, patients have increased strength and range of motion in their affected limbs, which helps them in their daily activities.\\[[@ref34][@ref38][@ref39][@ref40][@ref41]\\] Patients who can ambulate without assistance had more benefit from SDR compared to patients who could ambulate with assistance or could not ambulate before the procedure.\\[[@ref4]\\] The procedure also avoids the progression of hip subluxation or dislocation, which is commonly seen in spastic CP patients.\\[[@ref42]\\] In addition, SDR seems to improve cognitive power, evident by marked improvement in language, attention, temperament, mood, and interaction with people in the affected children who seemed to be mentally challenged before the procedure.\\[[@ref43]\\]\n\nThere are validated methods that are useful in attempting to quantify changes in gross motor function in children with CP. ",
"GMFM is one of the most widely used scales.\\[[@ref44][@ref45]\\] McLaughlin *et al*. ",
"performed a meta-analysis looking at controlled trials comparing GMFM assessments of the patients who had rhizotomy in addition to physiotherapy with those who had physiotherapy alone, which showed significant improvement in the former group.\\[[@ref46]\\] Randomized controlled trials to date do not exceed 2 years of follow-up, and this may be a reason why no statistical difference was seen. ",
"Mittal *et al*. ",
"documented a significant persistent improvement in 1-, 3-, and 5-year follow-up GMFM scores, especially in dimensions reflecting lower extremity motor function.\\[[@ref21]\\] These findings are also consistent with our experience with our patients who underwent SDR in addition to physiotherapy. ",
"Our patients demonstrated continuous benefit from the procedure over 24 months of follow-up.",
"\n\nThe long-term durability of the procedure was evaluated in a study by the group in Montreal, and the durable benefit was shown in patients as far as 15 years postoperatively.\\[[@ref9]\\] Therefore, SDR is considered to be a great choice for the management of spastic CP patients.",
"\n\nComplications {#sec2-16}\n-------------\n\nSDR is generally safe, and permanent complications after the surgery are rare. ",
"However, some complications might occur during or after the surgery, and the patient and his/her parents/guardian should be informed about these complications before the surgery. ",
"These complications include, but not are limited to, transient dysesthesias, numbness, tingling, transient urinary retention (frequent), back pain, headache, infections, pneumonia, bronchospasm, ileus, hemorrhage, cerebrospinal fluid leak from the surgical side, meningitis, fluid collection or seroma beneath the skin, incomplete reduction of the spasticity, muscle weakness, spinal deformities (scoliosis, kyphosis, hyperlordisis, spondylolisthesis), permanent hypoesthesia (rare), permanent urinary incontinence (rare), impotence, bladder and bowel dysfunction, spinal cord stenosis, risks associated with general and local anesthesia (rare), and the risk of death (extremely rare).\\[[@ref10][@ref23][@ref29][@ref47][@ref48][@ref49]\\] We have not encountered any intraoperative or postoperative complications in our patients, and they were all doing well at their subsequent follow-up assessments.",
"\n\nConclusion {#sec1-5}\n==========\n\nSDR is a safe and effective procedure for patients with medically refractory spastic diplegia. ",
"A multidisciplinary approach collaborating neurosurgery, neurophysiology, physiotherapy, and anesthesiology is needed to ensure good short-term and long-term outcomes in select patients suffering from spastic diplegia. ",
"Using our collaborative approach resulted in functional and objective improvement in our patients, which was maintained over a long follow-up time with no complications. ",
"Knowledge about the procedure, its indications, patients' selection, intraoperative monitoring, and outcomes may aid in helping a substantial number of patients that might benefit from such a procedure.",

"Peter Jackson Added More 'Violence and Suffering' to 'Lovely Bones' After Early Screenings\n\nFilmmaker Peter Jackson has never been shy about putting gore and violence into his movies. ",
"Before becoming one of the best-known directors working today, the New Zealander was famous, or infamous, for a string of wacky, and very gory, horror comedies. ",
"They called the genre \"splatstick.\"",
"\n\nBut after he received an Oscar nod for 'Heavenly Creatures,' the film that introduced Kate Winslet to the world (thank you, Peter), Jackson backed off of the gore and embraced the big-time. ",
"His 'Lord of the Rings' trilogy grossed nearly $3 billion dollars internationally and won dozens of Oscars, including Best Picture. ",
"But at its heart, 'Lord of the Rings' was a redemptive tale, the hero's journey. ",
"The films had their share of violence and suffering (poor Frodo), but violence and suffering wasn't the point.",
"\n\nBut at a recent screening of his new film, 'The Lovely Bones' (based on Alice Sebold's best-selling novel), Jackson was taken aback when a character's death scene received a lackluster reception. \"",
"They were simply not satisfied,\" Jackson said. \"",
"They wanted far more violence.\" ",
"Suddenly, the violence and the suffering were the point, and Jackson was quick to oblige. ",
"The filmmaker went back into the editing room \"to basically add more violence and suffering ... to give people the satisfaction they needed.\"",

"\n\n'The Lovely Bones' stars Academy Award nominee (for 'Atonement') Saoirse Ronan as Susie, a 14-year-old girl who, after being brutally murdered, watches her mother and father from her new vantage point: heaven (or, as Sebold refers to it, \"the in between\"). ",
"Played by Mark Wahlberg and Rachel Weisz, Susie's parents mourn and struggle to bring her killer to justice, and not necessarily the kind that involves the law.",
"\n\nIt's unusual, and potentially risky, for a filmmaker to up the violence in a film. ",
"Jackson acknowledged that it was important for his film to receive the Academy's PG-13 rating, rather than the more restrictive R. Many in Hollywood view PG-13 as the golden goose of ratings. ",
"They feel that PG-13 films can reach the widest possible audience. ",
"And a bigger audience means a bigger B.O. take, something that becomes particularly important when a film's budget gets anywhere over $50 million.",
"\n\nJackson has made some epic films and spent equally epic amounts of money to make them. ",
"The cost to make 'The Lovely Bones' is rumored at a relatively affordable $65 million. ",
"So, will a more violent death tip 'The Lovely Bones' into the R camp? ",
"We'll have to wait and see. ",
"Jackson may well have to make one more trip to the editing room before his latest film hits theaters this December."

"In NK cells, eta2 integrin binding to ICAM family members is sufficient to promote not only adhesion to target cells, but also the polarization of intracellular lytic granules towards the target. ",
"This feature enabled us to study the polarization of lytic granules in the absence of their release through degranulation, as well as 2 integrin signaling independently of inside-out signals from other receptors. ",
"Using a proteomics approach, we identified a signaling network centered on an integrin-linked kinase (ILK)Pyk2Paxillin core that was required for granule polarization. ",
"Downstream of ILK, the conserved Cdc42Par6 signaling pathway, which controls cell polarity, was activated and required for granule polarization. ",
"Polarization of NK lytic granules toward target cells occurs in two distinct steps: granule convergence to the MTOC, followed by reorientation with the MTOC toward the site of contact with the target cell. ",
"By measuring each step separately, we have found three signaling components that are required for the convergence step. ",
"This work has revealed a greater signaling capacity of eta2 integrins than was previously appreciated, and delineates two connected signaling networks that are integrated to control integrin-dependent granule polarization in NK cells. ",
"The unbiased mass spectrometry and bioinformatics analysis we performed with NK cells that had been stimulated through integrin LFA-1 resulted in the discovery of a complete signaling pathway that controls granule polarization toward the target cell. ",
"In addition to a network of 11 proteins tested for a role in granule polarization, there were 12 orphan proteins with no known interactions. ",
"The orphan protein with the highest score in the mass spectrometry analysis was cytohesin 4. ",
"The four members of the cytohesin family carry a PH domain and a Sec7 domain with guanine exchange factor activity for members of the small GTPase Arf family. ",
"While cytohesin 1 plays a role in inside-out signaling for eta2 integrin LFA-1, the function of cytohesin 4 is unknown. ",
"Silencing of cytohesin 4 but not cytohesin 1 resulted in defective granule polarization. ",
"To our knowledge, this is the first time a function has been attributed to cytohesin 4."

"Background\n==========\n\nThe advantage of using a bioprosthetic valve over a mechanical valve is that it lowers the incidence of thrombosis, avoiding the need for anticoagulant medication in the long term.",
"\n\nThe reported incidence of bioprosthetic valve thrombosis on routine echocardiography surveillance is approximately 6% \\[[@B1]\\]. ",
"However, the occurrence of acute thrombosis of the bioprosthetic mitral valves during the early postoperative period is rare.",
"\n\nWe experienced a rare case requiring an early reoperation for a thrombosis of the bioprosthetic valve.",
"\n\nCase presentation\n=================\n\nA 59-year old Korean female was referred with shortness of breath. ",
"She was diagnosed with moderate mitral stenosis (MS, valve area: 1.07 cm^2^ by 2D) and atrial fibrillation (AF). ",
"Preoperative echocardiography showed a large left atrium (LA Volume Index: 81 ml / m^2^).",
"\n\nShe underwent preservation of the sub-valvular apparatus of posterior leaflet of the mitral valve and replacement with a 25 mm Carpentier -- Edwards PERIMOUNT Plus bioprosthesis (Edwards Lifesciences, Inc.; Irvine, CA, USA) and a mini-Maze procedure. ",
"Due to her history of hemorrhagic stroke, we selected the bioprosthetic valve in order to avoid anticoagulation. ",
"Her body surface area (BSA) was 1.72 m^2^. The intraoperative transesophageal echocardiogram after the first valve replacement shows no evidence of leaflet entrapment, and bypass weaning was uneventful.",
"\n\nA post operative electrocardiogram showed sinus rhythm. ",
"On the first postoperative day, the patient was started on an anticoagulant with Coumadin, and an international normalized ratio (INR) of greater than 2 was reached on the sixth postoperative day. ",
"Recovery was uneventful and on the second postoperative day, the patient was transferred to the ward. ",
"After a transfer to the general ward, the patient complained of mild dyspnea on exertion; however, sinus rhythm was still present on an electrocardiogram. ",
"On the 10th postoperative day, the patient began to complain of increasing dyspnea and general malaise. ",
"During the next night, her symptoms worsened and developed into a left side pleural effusion and interstitial edema (Figure [1](#F1){ref-type=\"fig\"}). ",
"A transthoracic echocardiography detected a mean diastolic pressure gradient (MDPG) of 10 mmHg across the mitral valve, but no thrombus in LA. ",
"The calculated pressure-half time (PHT) was 166 msec (Figure [2](#F2){ref-type=\"fig\"}). ",
"Clinically, evidence of MS was observed. ",
"There was no underlying coagulation disorder. ",
"The ejection fraction decreased from 57% to 46%, compared to the preoperative ejection fraction.",

"However, due to progressive decompensated heart failure, a repeat sternotomy was performed on the 14th postoperative day. ",
"Intraoperatively, we observed a thrombus on the bioprosthetic valve and on the posterior left atrial wall (Figure [3](#F3){ref-type=\"fig\"}). ",
"In addition, we noticed that the motion of the valve leaflet was slightly restricted. ",
"The bioprosthetic valve was removed and replaced with a 27 mm ATS mechanical valve (ATS Medical, Inc.; Minneapolis, MN, USA). ",
"Postoperatively, she showed an improvement of symptoms, and repeat echocardiography showed a MDPG of 3.7 mmHg, PHT of 69 msec, a well functioning prosthetic valve, and no sign of thrombosis. ",

"\n\nPatients with bioprosthetic aortic or mitral valve replacement have high risk of thromboembolism during the first 10 days \\[[@B2]\\]. ",
"However, within two weeks postoperatively, the occurrence of a thrombosis in bioprosthetic mitral valves is very rare.",
"\n\nSome precipitating factors of the thrombotic process include acting as an underlying coagulopathy, left ventricular dysfunction, low cardiac output, atrial fibrillation, large LA size, and prior history of thromboembolic events \\[[@B3]\\].",
"\n\nA few cases involving the preservation of the mitral valve apparatus as a predisposing factor for bioprosthetic valve thrombosis have been reported because a complete preservation of the mitral valve apparatus during mitral replacement may lead to an increased incidence of early bioprosthetic thrombosis, although such incidences appear to be rare \\[[@B4]\\]. ",
"However, a complication of mitral valve replacement, such as a left ventricular rupture could be prevented by maintaining the tethering effect of the intact subvalvular apparatus \\[[@B5]\\]. ",
"In addition, there are isolated reports of bioprosthetic thrombosis after a complete valve excision \\[[@B3]\\].",
"\n\nIncidence of thrombo-embolism associated with AF ablation is reported to be between 0% and 7%; therefore, the 2007 Heart Rhythm Society expert consensus statement recommends a minimum period of two months of warfarin anticoagulation \\[[@B6]\\]. ",
"Although the policy of postoperative anticoagulation are different in each heart center, it took a long time for INR to reach 2.0 on the 6th postoperative day. ",
"We should have taken care of more optimal anticoagulation. ",
"The American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association (ACC/AHA) guidelines recommend an administration of warfarin for three months, following bioprosthetic valve replacement (BVR) \\[[@B7]\\]. ",
"The risk is particularly high in the first few days after surgery, and many centers start UFH as soon as the risk of increased surgical bleeding is reduced (usually within 24 to 48 h) with maintenance of aPPT between 55 and 70 seconds. ",
"After an overlap of UFH and warfarin for 3 to 5 days, UFH may be discontinued when INR reaches 2.0 to 3.0 \\[[@B7]\\].",
"\n\nIn our case, the patient had a large LA size, and underwent posterior leaflet preservation and a mini-Maze procedure. ",
"In this case, even though multiple factors are contributed to acute bioprosthetic thrombosis, we should keep up with current anticoagulation guidelines following the BVR and radioablative Maze procedure.",
"\n\nFurther studies are needed in order to clarify the anticoagulation strategy after BVR.",
"\n\nThrough this case, we also realized the importance of postoperative echocardiographic surveillance in high risk groups.",
"\n\nConclusions\n===========\n\nThe occurrence of bioprosthetic valve thrombosis is uncommon. ",
"However, there are some predisposing factors of bioprosthetic valve thrombosis; these include underlying coagulopathy, left ventricle dysfunction, AF, large LA size, prosthetic mismatch, and radioablative Maze procedure.",
"\n\nTherefore, an anticoagulant medication should be maintained and echocardiographic surveillance should be considered for patients in high risk groups.",
"\n\nConsent\n-------\n\nWritten informed consent was obtained from the patient for publication of this case report and accompanying images. ",
"A copy of the written consent is available for review by the Editor-in-Chief of this journal.",
"\n\nCompeting interests\n===================\n\nThe authors declare that they have no competing interests.",

"Farmers, who were at the bottom of the list, could expect to reap $14,000 in the course of their lives.",
"\n\nIn the middle of the spectrum came dentists, who could count on lifetime renumeration of $108,000; social workers, $57,000; journalists, $44,000; skilled laborers, $40,000; public school teachers, $30,000, and unskilled laborers, $20,000.",

"\n\n- 1949--An article headlined \"Cheap Labor!\" ",
"told of a company that hired dogs to help security guards patrol company land, but fired them after a union protest. ",
"The report continued, \"Consequently it was not surprising to read of the Auckland, New Zealand, firm which is being sued by the Electrical Workers Union on the charge of unfair labor practice for employing a ferret to pull 600 feet of wire through a conduit.",
"\n\n\"The trick saved the firm the cost of several weeks' work by electricians,\" the article said. \"",
"The union charged the company with employing an unregistered worker, paying insufficient wages and for engaging an under-aged worker.\"",
"\n\n- 1973--Personnel Journal ran a story headlined \"Young Executives: A Source of New Ethics?\" ",

"The authors decided that business managers could breath easy, because \"they are not being invaded by a group of young, naive purists, who will threaten the ethics of the firm.\"",
"\n\nAn accompanying editorial, however, said it all: \"Business students do not represent an upcoming influx of new ethical standards.\""

"PROJECT SUMMARY The classic model of G protein coupled receptor (GPCR) activation centers on ligand binding, G protein activation, and signal transduction via G protein-mediated signaling events. ",
"This paradigm has been called into question however, with the finding that some ligands ?",
"including endogenous ligands and therapeutic agents? ",
"have a preference for beta-arrestin mediated pathways. ",
"However, the information flow from receptor activation to signaling cascades and the mechanism of beta-arrestin signaling are not well understood. ",
"This proposal will elucidate, at the molecular level, the fundamental mechanisms controlling ligand-specific induction of beta- arrestin signaling with two highly clinically relevant GPCRs, the cannabinoid 2 receptor (CB2R) and the mu opioid receptor (MOR). ",
"These human receptors bind the plant-derived cannabinoids and opioids leading to psychostimulant effects and reduction of pain. ",
"Precise control of receptor activation and signaling is critical to obtain only the desired therapeutic results, however, and not the undesired side effects such as tolerance, drug abuse and dependence. ",
"Substantial preliminary studies identified ligand-specific dwell times, i.e. the time receptors are clustered into clathrin coated pits with beta-arrestins before endocytosis, as a mechanism controlling beta-arrestin signaling. ",
"This trafficking event can be chemically and genetically modulated to selectively control beta-arrestin signaling, providing novel therapeutic strategies. ",
"This project will combine state-of-the-art live cell imaging technologies (total internal reflection fluorescence and spinning disk microscopies), and biochemical approaches to determine if ligand-specific dwell times are a general event controlling beta-arrestin signaling. ",
"Multiple ligands for these receptors will be investigated in heterologous systems and in cells endogenously expressing the receptors. ",
"Preliminary results in primary cultures strongly support our hypothesis that long dwell times correlate with beta-arrestin signaling. ",
"The aims are to: (1) examine endocytosis of the CBR2 and MOR at the single endocytic pit level, and (2) define the impact on cellular mechanisms of CB2R and MOR mediated beta-arrestin signaling, including whether endocytic dwell times can modulate these pathways. ",
"Results will provide a physiological role for the previously described variability in endocytic dwell times. ",
"These findings may be extended to future drug discovery efforts, including for other GPCRs, to rationally design therapeutic agents with specific outcomes in areas intractable via current technology."

"Saturday, February 26, 2011\n\nAlthough this is primarily a knitting blog, every so often I wander off into other, less fibery, topics. ",
"And today, I am going to editorialize a bit about citizenship--a subject that gets a fair amount of babble, but most people probably have no idea what being a US citizen really entails.",
"\n\nYes, you can vote at a certain age. ",
"Yes, you can earn money and collect Social Security in some cases. ",
"Yup, you can serve in the Armed Forces if you wish. ",
"But there is one, single inviolate privilege that US citizenship confers, and I would be willing to bet that few of you can name it. ",
"But you will, of course, by the time you finish reading this post, and it may help you in dire circumstances at some point in your life.",
"\n\nI took a short international trip last week, which was unremarkable and not worth even mentioning, except for the part where I deplaned at a United States airport and queued up for immigration. ",
"For those US citizens who have never re-entered the country, suffice it to say that it invariably entails briefly standing on line, having your passport stamped, and then zipping off to another destination.",
"\n\nThis time, however, when I disembarked, the immigration hall was filled with people--sitting, standing, lying down--hundreds and hundreds of people, waiting in eerie silence. ",
"The lines stretched out of the hall, around corners, and, for all I know, back into jetways, stairs, elevators, and rooftops.",
"\n\nNo lines moved towards the dozen or so immigration booths. ",
"The only noticeable movement was the arrival of yet more deplaned passengers squeezing into a space that bore an uncanny resemblance to a gigantic Tokyo subway car at rush hour.",
"\n\nAfter a few minutes, I queried an airport supervisor as to the problem, and was told that the relevant immigration computers were down, nationwide, and had been in this sad state for about six hours. ",
"He had no idea when the network would come back online, and until that happened, the static occupants of the immigration hall would not be allowed to pass over the magic yellow line onto US soil.",
"\n\nNow, people who know me well would imagine that I would pull out a book and immerse myself in the written word until the situation resolved itself. ",
"But it seemed to me that this logjam was just plain wrong on many levels.",
"\n\nWe pay the salaries of the people manning those booths. ",
"More importantly, we do have real, unassailable rights under the Constitution, although we have lately been giving them away with depressing regularity. ",
"The history of the United States rarely portrays the citizenry as a nation of sheep. ",
"But when I looked around, I could see a vast assembly of ovines, waiting immobile for orders from Governmental Shepherds.",
"\n\nAfter a few minutes of cogitation, I pulled out my blue US passport, waved it over my head, and opened my Big Mouth.",
"\n\n\"Excuse me, but I am a citizen of the United States. ",
"Under no circumstances may I be forbidden entry to this country while I carry a valid passport. ",
"In fact, the US cannot turn any US citizen away, regardless of what might happen once that person touches US soil. ",
"This Blue Sucker (fleegle waves passport again) entitles me to cross that yellow line, no questions asked.\"",
"\n\nYou could have heard an ant sneeze in the silence. ",
"The officers manning the immigration stations stared at me in astonishment--a two-legged sheep bleating constitutional truisms--something that these government workers had clearly never before encountered.",
"\n\nA minute passed. ",
"A supervisor finally climbed down from his chair and addressed the crowd:\n\n\"All people possessing Blue Suckers over here.\" ",
"He pointed to four of the booths.",
"\n\nAnd with that, everyone bearing a US Blue Sucker speedily proceeded through the booths, the immigration officers' stamps thumping away in triple time.",
"\n\nI doubt that I will ever again receive a round of applause from hundreds of exasperated passengers, complete with dozens of pats on the back, a few wolf whistles, and many, many smiles. ",
"The airport supervisor asked me if I was going to run for Congress. ",
"Someone else asked if I was in immigration attorney. ",
"Several people shook my hand.",
"\n\nOn the down side, I suspect that citizens of other countries sporting Green, Red, and Purple Suckers are still milling about the hall, waiting for the IT geniuses in Washington to figure out who pulled what plug on which database.",
"\n\nSo, in the words of Robert Frost:\n\nHome is the place where, when you have to go there, they have to take you in.",
"\n\nI can't speak for other countries, but in the United States, the only perquisite of citizenship is that you must be admitted if you can show such proof. ",
"It might be that you are arrested the moment you step on US soil, but you may not be denied entry, no matter what.",
"\n\nThe moral of this little story is that sometimes, you can confront Homeland Security, and sometimes you can actually win. ",
"Speak up. ",
"Know your rights. ",
"Welcome home.",
"\n\nWednesday, February 16, 2011\n\nWell, I was certainly pleasantly surprised by the response to my last blog. ",
"I figured about six people might want me to keep babbling about spinning, but there apparently are quite a few who enjoy the postings, so of course, I shall continue. ",
"As every blogger knows, feedback keeps us going. ",
"The last spinning post had four comments, so I figured that either (a) Harry was deleting posts just to be annoying or (b) everyone's head hit the keyboard in stupefaction when they saw Yet Another Spinning Post. ",
"Clearly, the answer is (c).",
"\n\nSo, now that I have explained things to everyone's satisfaction, let me respond to several readers, who requested the secret to Circular Honeycomb Brioche. ",
"Here's the little neck warmer I made a using a strand of silk and a strand of cashmere:\n\nThe pattern is mildly tricky, but once you've run through one repeat, it's a no-brainer. ",
"Please swatch carefully, though. ",
"Brioche patterns are incredibly stretchy--you'll need a lot fewer stitches than you could possibly imagine.",
"\n\nCast on an even number of stitches.",
"\n\nRow 1: KnitRow 2: PurlRow 3: K1, K1 below, that is, knit into the stitch of the previous row. ",
"Doing so unknits the stitch, so you will have the equivalent of a slipped stitch, thusly:\n\nRow 4: P1, Purl the next stitch with the slipped thread of the previous row, as shown below.",
"\n\nRow 5: K1 below, K1Row 6: Purl the next stitch with the slipped thread of the previous row, P1\n\nRepeat rows 3-6.",
"\n\nI realize that this pattern could be done by slipping stitches instead of knitting in the stitch below. ",
"Many Brioche stitches are written using slips instead of belows. ",
"Try it both ways and see which one you prefer.",
"\n\nNext time, Harry will post about his exciting goat-herding class that he took in Albania, followed by a slide show of his whirlwind tour of Krasnoarmeisk, Myshkin, Putchezh, Kholui, Urupinsk, MariinskyPosad, Kirillov, Suzdal and Gus-Krustalnyi.",
"\n\nHere ends my 300th post, and I want to thank all my readers from the bottom of my heart for your support and comments. ",
"Harry doesn't have a heart, but he thanks you from the bottom of his purple iPod for electing him Ruler of the Known Universe. ",
"Did you guys really do that?"

"Roma - A teatro per imparare, giocando, l’arte della seduzione con la regia di uno psicoterapeuta A teatro per imparare l’arte della seduzione? ",
"Perché no! ",
"Certo, una cena a lume di candela sulla spiaggia di un qualche paradiso tropicale offre maggiori possibilità di riuscita di un pomeriggio a teatro o di una onesta cenetta al risparmio in qualche osteria romana. ",
"La sfida non riguarda il luogo, ma l’atmosfera che si riesce a creare, perché quello che conta non è il posto, ma le persone che lo abitano. ",
"Prestare attenzione all’altro paga. ",
"A Roma sabato 11 novembre a Roma al Teatro Keiros (in via Padova 38/A) dalle 11 alle 17 lo psicoterapeuta Giovanni Porta farà salire sul palco voi, per sperimentare in tutta sicurezza come approcciare l’altro sesso. “",
"Mi propongo durante il laboratorio di perseguire due principali obiettivi – spiega lo psicoterapeuta Giovanni Porta - In primo luogo, far sì che i partecipanti aumentino il proprio grado di consapevolezza circa le trappole in cui più frequentemente cadono durante il processo di seduzione. ",
"Inoltre, far sperimentare loro qualche alternativa comportamentale interessante, magari recuperando un po’ dello spirito giocoso che tutti hanno sperimentato almeno qualche volta. ",
"Mettersi in gioco per vedere davvero chi abbiamo davanti, serve e occorre farlo divertendosi con leggerezza, ma senza mai offendere, sperimentiamolo assieme. ",
"Occorre imparare a capire chi ci sta di fronte ad entrare in sintonia con le persone nuove. ",
"Questa è la base da cui parte tutto, anche la seduzione. ",
"Se si vuole ottenere qualcosa, occorre svincolarsi dall’ansia del risultato. ",
"Occorre capire quali sono le nostre caratteristiche che ci distinguono dagli altri, per valorizzarle e nello stesso tempo imparare a riconoscere cosa gli altri ci dicono, non solo a parole, ma anche con il linguaggio del corpo. ",
"Alcune posture indicano fastidio, altre indifferenza, altre ancora interesse. ",
"Le vedremo assieme”.",
"\n\nLa seduzione è un gioco, un rituale che si pone nello spazio intermedio tra scherzo e serietà. ",
"È dare forma all’attrazione che si prova per qualcuno, mescolando creatività e schemi sociali. ",
"Si tratta di un gioco che richiede sicurezza ed inventiva. “",
"Un rifiuto può sempre capitare, ma non bisogna scoraggiarsi. ",
"Farne un dramma non serve. ",
"Ti capiterà più e più volte di sentirti rispondere: No! – ",
"spiega lo psicoterapeuta Giovanni Porta - …peggio ancora sono cose come: rimaniamo amici, sto cercando me stessa, sto ancora pensando a lui… C’è chi, per timidezza, per paura di un rifiuto, non entra neanche nel gioco, e si aggira nel proprio universo sociale ad occhi bassi, evitando sguardi difficili da reggere. ",
"Altri giocano male le proprie carte, e magari si affidano a copioni fissi in cui si vede che stanno recitando, non riuscendo ad entrare in reale sintonia con la persona che hanno di fronte. ",
"Si dicono cose del genere: a bella - hai freddo? ",
"Se vuoi posso scaldarti io - mamma mia che sangue che mi fai… Sinceramente, ti sembra possibile che una donna possa reagire positivamente a frasi simili? ",
"Penso proprio di no! ",
"Tu come reagiresti? ",
"Io girerei immediatamente i tacchi per allontanarmi. ",
"Non hai neanche provato a capire chi sono. ",
"Altre persone scelgono solo “prede” difficilissime, non notando nemmeno quelle più disponibili. ",
"C’è poi chi non si piace abbastanza, e dunque fatica a mantenere il tono divertente e divertito di una situazione seduttiva. ",
"Già, il divertimento. ",
"Per riuscire nel gioco della situazione bisogna divertirsi nel giocare, trovare il modo di sentirsi leggeri e non attaccati alla conquista: sentirsi e lasciare liberi. ",
"Altrimenti, diventa un gioco pesante e poco piacevole. ",
"Divertirsi, cioè mettere da parte pensieri, paure e preoccupazioni e lasciar fluire un po’ dell’attrazione che si prova. ",
"Non esiste una maniera corretta di sedurre, esistono tante maniere quante sono le persone. ",
"Gli errori, o meglio, i comportamenti improduttivi in fatto di seduzione sono invece di solito sempre gli stessi. ",
"In questo laboratorio, di natura esperienziale, tratteremo il tema della seduzione avvalendoci di metodologie psicologiche e teatrali. ",
"Il lavoro si svolgerà in un teatro vero e proprio, che avremo a nostra intera disposizione”.",
"\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTi è piaciuto l'articolo? ",
"Vuoi scriverne uno anche tu? ",
"Inizia da qui!",

"\n\nWith his second feature, “Fighting,” writer-director Dito Montiel is a subversive. ",
"Jesus, what a scrappy in-your-face, in-your-lap uncontrollable B-movie puppy dog he’s made with “Fighting,” a lovable, scrappy scamp, bold pastiche that romanticizes mean streets and meaner breaks. ",
"His first feature, based on his 2003 memoir of growing up on the streets of Astoria, “A Guide To Recognizing Your Saints” (2006), was visually expressive, a bit arty and precious, but accomplished for a debut. ",
"But finding one’s voice in other filmmaking grammars? ",
"That shows talent to watch out for.",
"\n\nShawn (Channing Tatum) is a knucklehead with a neat, short haircut. ",
"He’s got a backstory you could put inside the cover of a matchbook. ",
"Selling counterfeit goods among the vendors across from Radio City Music Hall, he gets into a turf fight and punches his way into making the acquaintance, or clutches, of Harvey (Terrence Howard), a second-rate street hustler, always “business ready for a business” with a blocky briefcase in hand. ",
"His history extends to an ex-confederate, now bitter rival played by Luis Guzmán. ",
"In the mix is Zulay (Zulay Henao), a waitress at a West Chelsea nightclub that Shawn takes a liking to; she figures neatly into the plot. (",
"Zulay’s abuela, played by Altagracia Guzman from “Raising Victor Vargas,” has several peerless comic scenes as she pushily protects her granddaughter’s virtue.)",
"\n\nHere’s a litany of likely influences on Montiel’s lovely lumpen-droll Cinderella tale: Robert Rossen and Abraham Polonsky’s boxing-and-ethics “Body & Soul” (1949); Walter Hill’s epigrammatic bare-fist boxing “Hard Times” (1975) as well as his Manhattan-as-battlefield “The Warriors” (1980); “Midnight Cowboy” (1970), with its eccentric relationship between two uprooted, uncentered men as well as its fabulous side characters; Scorsese and Spike Lee’s oft-fetishistic New York City location work; Abel Ferrara’s dank grime; and simply the teeming, peopled street life of Manhattan by night and day, captured in grain, bruise, verdigris. ",
"Montiel likes aerial shots of the city with bombastic music. ",
"Under the main titles, there are helicopter shots of the city at dusk, and at the very last, Montiel plants one on Manhattan, positioning his director’s credit smack between Momma Chrysler and Daddy Empire.",
"\n\nThe credits are auspicious: cinematographer Steven Czapsky’s shot “The Thin Blue Line” and “Ed Wood”; production designer Therèsé DePrez’s work includes “High Fidelity,” “Swoon,” “I Shot Andy Warhol” and “Summer of Sam.” ",
"Chicago-born co-writer Robert Munic made a likeable micro-indie, the airy-banter-filled “The Pros and Cons of Breathing,” in 1994. ",
"And the result is gratifying, terrific termite tale-telling on detailed turf, with scenes that seethe and jangle, as restless as a hood’s left leg after a couple of cappuccinos and a Red Bull. ",
"The dialogue waffles and flakes, with epigrams like in Hill’s for Strother Martin in “Hard Times,” which included, “One day a black cloud appeared on campus and I left under it.” “",
"We’re in a $100,000 Mercedes, that’s where we are,” Howard says in his zoned, nasal intonation. ",
"The dialogue gets the hesitations and artfully arrayed banalities of inarticulacy. “",
"Smells like boxing ass in here.” “",
"Don’t smile at nobody.” ",
"Listen to the way Howard breaks up the words, “I’m from a place with culture. ",
"Chicago. ",
"I’m sure you got your own story” and there is a “my fault” throwaway before the second fight that’s as astutely delivered and placed as in theater. (",
"That bout efficiently suggests the adversaries like Romans, standing above the space on backstairs, a Queens alley turned momentarily into gladiatorial arena.)",
"\n\nCzapsky and DePrez detail every frame, but it’s the actors’ gestures and intonations that make “Fighting” so wildly entertaining. ",
"Early on, there’s a shot of Howard through a diner window, daintily holding a quarter of a biscuit between thumb and forefinger and applying Tabasco. (",
"And there’s a grace note of a throwaway line about the biscuits to come.) ",
"When Shawn and Harvey first meet and are walking, the close-up on Shawn eddies in and out of focus. ",
"Perfection. ",
"Crappy sound mix of dialogue when four characters are in a car, focusing on them and not the “room tone” of the “space”: expressively off. ",
"The fisticuffs have their own energy, the sound of blows landing with a splat-crack and krakSPLAT.",
"\n\nA secret office in a tchotch-shop back room is behind a door adorned with a beach towel in the shape of a $100 bill. ",
"A backdrop to the gangster’s desk is a black-and-white drawing from the perspective of lower Manhattan, the World Trade Center still standing bold and stark. ",
"The climactic fight takes place approximately where the character’s head is against the piece of art. ",
"That coming-to-blows in front of a crowd of venal rich plays out on a roof terrace overlooking the financial district, where several characters walked past Merrill Lynch’s iconic bull statue moments earlier, and Montiel makes his helicopter shot motif pay off as more than filler: coming from blocks away, the top of the building is lit golden, gleaming like a blazing scarab perched atop the city. ",
"There’s a lot more expressiveness like this: the slightest aside pays off in Montiel’s gleeful, lyrical imagination."

"\nInterpersonal models of depression and anxiety have not examined the role of interpersonal goals in shaping relationships and symptoms. ",
"Striving to promote/protect desired self-images (self-image goals) may undermine relationships and increase symptoms, whereas striving to support others (compassionate goals) may be protective, but clinical relevance is unknown. ",
"We tested effects of compassionate versus self-image goals on interpersonal functioning and symptoms in clinically depressed and/or anxious participants (N = 47) during 10 days of experience sampling, over a 6-week follow-up, and in a dyadic relationship. ",
"Participants reported higher conflict and symptoms on days that they most pursued self-image goals, but noted higher perceived support and lower symptoms when pursuing compassionate goals. ",
"Goals prospectively predicted symptom changes 6 weeks later. ",
"Lastly, informant-rated interpersonal goals predicted relationship satisfaction of both patients and significant others. ",
"Results suggest the relevance of self-image and compassionate goals for the interpersonal maintenance of depression and anxiety."

"Relationship between cardiotonic effects and inhibition on cardiac sarcolemmal Na+,K+-ATPase of strophan-thidin at low concentrations.",
"\nTo evaluate the effects of strophanthidin (Str) on cardiac contractile function and sarcolemmal Na+, K+-ATPase activities in isolated guinea-pig hearts. ",
"Isolated guinea-pig hearts were perfused through aorta in a Langendorff mode. ",
"Heart rate (HR), left ventricular pressure (LVP), and first derivatives (+/-dp/dt(max)) of LVP were recorded by eight-channel physiological instrument. ",
"Cardiac sarcolemmal Na+, K+-ATPase activities were determined with colorimetry. ",
"Str 0.1 nmol/L stimulated the Na+, K+-ATPase activities (P<0.05), but had no effect on HR, LVP, and +/-dp/dt(max). ",
"Str 1 nmol/L increased +dp/dt(max) (P<0.05) and Na+, K+-ATPase activities (P<0.01). ",
"Str 10 and 100 nmol/L significantly increased both LVP (P<0.05) and +dp/dt(max) (P<0.05 or P<0.01), and had no significant effects on Na+, K+-ATPase activities. ",
"However, Str 1-100 micromol/L at first enhanced the LVP and +dp/dtmax (P<0.01), then reduced them resulting from irregular contraction, and effects of Str on Na+, K+-ATPase activities revealed a concentration-dependent inhibition (P<0.01). ",
"The positive inotropic effects and irregular contraction produced by Str at higher concentrations result from the inhibition of Na+, K+-ATPase activities, and the positive inotropic effects of Str at lower concentrations are not related to the inhibition of the Na+, K+-ATPase activities."
