"Effects of Messages Delivered by Mobile Phone on Increasing Compliance With Shoulder Exercises Among Patients With a Frozen Shoulder.",
"\nThe aim of this study was to examine the effects of reminders, encouragement, and educational messages delivered by mobile phone on shoulder exercise compliance and improvements in shoulder function among patients with a frozen shoulder. ",
"A randomized controlled trial design was used. ",
"A convenience sample of patients with a frozen shoulder in an orthopedic outpatient clinic was recruited. ",
"All participants were instructed on how to do shoulder exercises and were provided with a printed pamphlet about shoulder exercises. ",
"Then, the intervention group received reminders, encouragement, and educational messages by mobile phone daily for the next 2 weeks, while the comparison group did not. ",
"The intervention group had higher compliance with shoulder exercises than did the comparison group (t = 2.263, p = .03) and had significant improvements in shoulder forward flexion (F = 12.067, p = .001), external rotation (F = 13.61, p = .001), and internal rotation (F = 5.903, p = .018) compared to those in the comparison group after the 2-week intervention. ",
"The text messages significantly increased patient compliance with shoulder exercises and thus improved patients' shoulder range of motion. ",
"Hospital or clinics can send appropriate messages to patients via text message platforms in order to remind and encourage them to do shoulder exercises."

"Monthly Archives: December 2013\n\nFOOTBALL is a numbers game: the comfortable victory over Reading made it three wins on the spin, three clean sheets, nine points from nine, six points off the play-offs… they are great digits to wave goodbye to a traumatic 2013 that has been dominated by a long downward spiral of negative numbers that led to Mogga’s P45.",
"\nBoro now have 36 goals. ",
"Only the top two Derby and Leicester have scored more. ",
"Of course, scoring goals was never the problem. ",
"Even under Tony Mowbray Boro were rattling the goals in: threes, fours, a cluster of 2-2 draws. ",
"The problem was keeping them out and no matter what combination of players were used, goals were seeping through – especially from set-plays deep in the red zone. ",
"Being two goals up wasn’t a guarantee of a point.",
"\nBut the ever open door that was Boro’s Achilles heel has slowly creaked shut under Aitor Karanka.",
"\n\nI’LL BE WITH YOU SOON. ",
"Got tomorrow’s spread to write. ",
"In the meantime, if someone wants to kick off with an appraisal of mighty Boro’s glorious defeat of table-topping Burnley and the impact of former frozen out flanker Emmanuel Ledesma, crack on….",
"\nBut a few brief observations:\n\nOH NO! ",
"Football’s Inevitability Drive is broken!Millwall away was a game that had “Scott McDonald late winner” written all over it. ",
"It was a dead cert daft quid magnet. ",
"So we are all out of pocket but who cares? ",
"Boro won and the ghost of Christmas past was far from scary.",
"\n\nOH NO! ",
"There goes the relegation cliche klaxon!",
"\nJacob Butterfield has uttered the dreaded phrase: “We’re too good to go down.”",
"\nThat will scare the hell out of a lot of battle scarred supporters – including a cocooned few who may not have even been too worried before those dread words were uttered.",
"\nIt is part of the lexicon of the lower end of the league.",
"\nEveryone knows that once you start putting up that particular linguistic defence you are already deep in the sticky stuff. ",
"Supporters of all clubs know that phrase is one of the key indicators that a basement battle is OFFICIALLY on.",
"\n\nDID you hear a loud metallic thud rumbling from the Riverside at 4.40pm on Saturday? ",
"That was the sound of the peseta dropping for Aitor Karanka.",
"\nThe defence – whichever permutation of mismatched miscreants is wearing the shirts – is just not good enough. ",
"As a unit they are deeply, fundamentally flawed.",
"\nThey lack organsation, cohesion, focus, concentration, understanding, nous and leadership. ",
"And, no matter what any given week’s short straw media muggins says, they clearly lack the ability to “learn from their mistakes.”",
"\nIt appears to be a mental weakness ingrained in the DNA of this squad. ",
"How else can you explain their repeated vulnerability to the most predictable of set play situations?",
"\n\nAS FOOTBALL united to salute the memory of Nelson Mandela, a champion of racial unity and mutual respect, Boro fans were dragged reluctantly into a divisive race row after an unsavoury Quran ripping incident by a small group in the away end at Birmingham.",
"\nThe club have reiterated their own strong line on racism but more importantly so have Boro supporters who were quick to condemn the handful of idiots. ",
"Here by popular demand (no, really) is the Kick It Out remix of this week’s Big Picture column.",
"\n\nWELL that was a sickener. ",
"Birmingham got a late, late leveller to mug Boro of what would have been a hard earned – and rare – away win and kick long suffering supporters squarely in the kisser. ",
"You would think we would have evolved six inch thick emotional armour against the stoppage time sucker punch but it still stings like hell.",
"\nLeaking deep into added time to a twice taken corner was a real blow. ",
"Especially after also conceding a needless penalty. ",
"All we needed was a harsh sending off to complete the shambolic defending full set.. Battling Boro had played with a real shape, spirit and solidity and were within touching distance of a result that could have been a turning point of the season before the familiar fatal flaw showed its face. ",
"It hurts. ",
"But it isn’t a great surprise.",
"\n\nA LAST gasp sucker punch knocked the stuffing out of Boro at Pride Park.",
"\nThe ten men had worked their nuts off to contain the Championship’s form side: “Steve McClaren’s Derby.” ",
"That Boro’s former boss engineered a painful 2-1 defeat for Boro with the goals coming in the Red Zones (45+1 and 90) was heavy with irony."

"Q:\n\nIs there a way to keep Telegram bot running when closing Python?",
"\n\nI've built a very simple Telegram bot by following this tutorial. ",
"So I have a file containing Python code, and when I run that code, the bot will echo what I say. ",
"\nIs it true that the bot will only work when I have Python on and the code running? ",
"Would this mean that I cannot run any other script in Python at the same time, and neither can close Python down if I want my bot to keep working?",
"\nIs there any way to get around this, so that the bot will always be 'on'?",
"\n\nA:\n\nA Telegram bot is a Python program. ",
"When you run it, it do what it is supposed to do, then, if you stop the program, the bot stop to work. ",
"The problematic is common to all programs, particularily on a server. ",
"Think about Nginx, Apache, ssh, etc. ",
"Thay are all programs, and they all stop to do their job when they are closed.",
"\nIf you want to make sure your bot will run always, you have to daemonize it. ",
"There is a lot of solutions.",
"\nYou could transform your script to be a daemon, so when you launch it, it go directly to the background and continue to run until the server is shut down (or the program crash). ",
"But in that case, do your bot will re-run if you (or somebody else) restart the computer (server) ? ",
"There is some python libraries for this purpose, like daemonize.",
"\nAnother common solution is to run your bot in a process manager. ",
"You can check supervisorctl for example, or you could decide to create a script to run your program from System V, UpStart or Systemd... This suppose you want to deploy your bot on a dedicated server or a VPS. ",
"This will be covered by the part 3 of the tutoriel you followed:\n\nThe next and final part of this series will [...] be demonstrating how to deploy the Bot to a VPS.",
"\n\nYou could also consider encapsulating your bot into an image or a container (Docker, etc.) ",

"\n¶ 1 Ridenour, Swenson, Cleere & Evans, P.C. (\"RSCE\") appeals from the judgment *358 awarding William and Elizabeth Fearnow $86,500.00 for William Fearnow's equity interest in RSCE. ",
"The trial court concluded that the \"Voluntary Withdrawal\" provision in the Shareholder Agreement between Fearnow and RSCE unlawfully restricted Fearnow's right to practice law. ",
"Accordingly, the court found the Shareholder Agreement invalid. ",
"The court further held that Fearnow could recoup his equity interest in RSCE under the Arizona Professional Corporations Act (\"Act\"),[1] as a \"disqualified person\" who could compel RSCE to acquire his share for its fair-market value.",
"\n¶ 2 For the following reasons, we conclude that the Voluntary Withdrawal provision of the Shareholder Agreement constitutes an unlawful restriction upon Fearnow's right to practice law, but we further conclude that Fearnow has no right to compensation under the Act.",
"\n\nFACTUAL AND PROCEDURAL BACKGROUND\n¶ 3 In 1987, Fearnow became a partner in the law firm of Ridenour, Swensen, Cleere and Evans (the \"Partnership\"). ",
"Fearnow paid $33,674.42 for his partnership interest.",
"\n¶ 4 In 1991, the Partnership dissolved, and the prior partners formed the RSCE professional corporation. ",
"Fearnow received one share of stock in RSCE.",
"\n¶ 5 On November 27, 1997, RSCE executed the last version of its Shareholder Agreement, which included a section governing the \"Withdrawal of Stockholders.\" ",
"This section included a provision for the \"Voluntary Withdrawal\" of Stockholders, which stated:\nOther than retirement, a Stockholder who withdraws from the Corporation shall tender his or her Share to the Corporation for no compensation.",
"\n¶ 6 In February 1998, Fearnow voluntarily left RSCE to practice law at the firm of Walker Ellsworth, P.L.C., and took several of RSCE's clients with him. ",
"He then demanded that RSCE pay him $33,674.42 as compensation for his share of stock. ",
"When RSCE refused, the Fearnows filed this lawsuit seeking to invalidate the Voluntary Withdrawal provision of the Shareholder Agreement. ",
"The Fearnows also sought compensation from RSCE based on theories of unjust enrichment and conversion.",
"\n¶ 7 The parties filed cross-motions for summary judgment on the validity of the Voluntary Withdrawal provision of the Shareholder Agreement. ",
"The trial court (the Honorable Colin F. Campbell) ruled that the Voluntary Withdrawal provision of the Shareholder Agreement was a restriction on a lawyer's right to practice law, in violation of Ethical Rule 5.6, Arizona Rules of Supreme Court 42 (\"ER 5.6\").[2] The court concluded that the striking of the provision left a \"large gap in the [S]hareholder [A]greement ... [with] no remaining term cover[ing] what happens in the event of voluntary withdrawal or retirement.\" ",
"Because the Shareholder Agreement had no severability clause and the court could not rewrite the stricken material terms for the parties, it held the entire agreement to be invalid. ",
"The court then ordered the parties to submit additional briefing on the issue of what would be the appropriate remedy.",
"\n¶ 8 The parties filed cross-motions for summary judgment on the remedy issue. ",
"RSCE reasoned that the Fearnows had no remedy because the Act afforded none. ",
"It asserted that the Act provided that a corporation's obligation to repurchase stock arose only upon the death, dissolution or disqualification of a shareholder. ",
"RSCE argued, therefore, that Fearnow was not entitled to the compulsory repurchase of his share because he was not dead, could not be dissolved, and was not a \"disqualified person\" under the Act. ",
"Fearnow conceded he had no remedy under the Act, but sought equitable relief from the court based on restitution.",
"\n*359 ¶ 9 The trial court held that Fearnow was a \"disqualified person\" under the Act and ordered the appraisal of his share. ",
"RSCE filed a motion for reconsideration on the \"disqualified person\" issue, which the court denied.",
"\n¶ 10 The valuation issue proceeded to a bench trial before the Honorable Anna Baca. ",
"The court determined that the fair value of Fearnow's equity interest was $86,500. ",
"The court entered final judgment to that effect, and awarded the Fearnows their attorneys' fees, expert fees and costs. ",
"RSCE timely filed this appeal. ",
"We have jurisdiction over this matter pursuant to A.R.S. § 12-2101(B)(2003).",
"\n\nDISCUSSION\n¶ 11 On appeal, RSCE challenges the trial court's partial summary judgment rulings regarding both the invalidity of the Shareholder Agreement and Fearnow's status as a \"disqualified person\" under the Act. ",
"We review the grant of summary judgment de novo, viewing the evidence and any reasonable inferences therefrom in the light most favorable to the party against whom judgment was entered. ",
"Great Am. ",
"Mortg., ",
"Inc. v. Statewide Ins. ",
"Co., 189 Ariz. 123, 124-25, 938 P.2d 1124, 1125-26 (App.1997). ",
"Also, the interpretation of a contract involves questions of law which we review de novo, as we do the interpretation and construction of the ethical rules governing attorney conduct. ",
"Tobel v. Travelers Ins. ",
"Co., 195 Ariz. 363, 366, ¶ 13, 988 P.2d 148, 151 (App.1999) (interpretation of contract is subject to de novo review); Perguson v. Tamis, 188 Ariz. 425, 427, 937 P.2d 347, 349 (App.1996) (interpretation and meaning of court rule is question of law subject to de novo review).",
"\n\nI\n¶ 12 We first consider whether the Shareholder Agreement is enforceable. ",
"The trial court concluded that section 3(c) of the Shareholder Agreement was an unlawful restriction on the right of Fearnow to practice law and therefore, in violation of ER 5.6(a). ",
"At the time of the trial court proceedings, ER 5.6(a) provided:\nRestrictions on Right to Practice\nA lawyer shall not participate in offering or making:\n(a) a partnership[[3]] or employment agreement that restricts the rights of a lawyer to practice after termination of the relationship except an agreement concerning benefits upon retirement;....\nER 5.6.[4]\n¶ 13 The ethical rule guarding against restrictive covenants among lawyers was created to \"prevent[ ] lawyers from `bartering in clients,' thereby protecting the client's freedom to choose, discharge, or replace a lawyer at will.\" ",
"Anderson v. Aspelmeier, Fisch, Power, Warner & Engberg, 461 N.W.2d 598, 601 (Iowa 1990) (citations omitted); see also Cmt. [",
"1] to 2003 Amendment to ER 5.6 (\"An agreement restricting the right of lawyers to practice after leaving a firm not only limits their professional autonomy but also limits the freedom of clients to choose a lawyer.\") (",
"emphasis added).",
"\n¶ 14 Arizona courts have not directly addressed ER 5.6's prohibition on restrictive covenants. ",
"However, in Valley Medical Specialists v. Farber, 194 Ariz. 363, 982 P.2d 1277 (1999),[5] a case invalidating a restrictive *360 covenant between a doctor and his professional corporation, our supreme court analogized the medical profession and a patient's right to the doctor of his/her choice to the legal profession and a client's right to the attorney of his/her choice. ",
"Id. at 368-69, ¶¶ 16-18, 982 P.2d at 1282-83 (noting that the principle of protecting client choice justified prohibiting restrictive covenants among lawyers). ",
"The court concluded that public policy required that the special doctor-patient relationship, like the attorney-client relationship, was entitled to unique protection, and could not be unduly restricted. ",
"Id. at 369, ¶ 19, 982 P.2d at 1283.",
"\n¶ 15 Several jurisdictions have held that any financial disincentive imposed upon a departing lawyer is an invalid restriction on the right to practice law in violation of applicable ethical rules. ",
"See Dowd & Dowd, Ltd. v. Gleason, 181 Ill.2d 460, 230 Ill.Dec. 229, 693 N.E.2d 358 (1998); Anderson, 461 N.W.2d 598; Cohen v. Lord, Day & Lord, 75 N.Y.2d 95, 551 N.Y.S.2d 157, 550 N.E.2d 410 (1989). ",
"The rationale of this position is that ethical rules prevent any restrictions by lawyers that limit the ability of a person to choose his or her attorney. ",
"Cohen, 551 N.Y.S.2d 157, 550 N.E.2d at 411-12; see also Restatement (Third) of Law Governing Lawyers § 13 cmt. ",
"b (2000).",
"\n¶ 16 Meanwhile, other jurisdictions have adopted a more permissive approach, holding that reasonable financial penalties for departing lawyers do not restrict the lawyer's right to practice. ",
"See Howard v. Babcock, 6 Cal.4th 409, 25 Cal.",
"Rptr.2d 80, 863 P.2d 150, 156 (1993); Pettingell v. Morrison, Mahoney & Miller, 426 Mass. 253, 687 N.E.2d 1237, 1240 (1997). ",
"Under this approach, financial penalties are enforceable when they are reasonably linked to the actual loss suffered by the firm that is attributable to the lawyer's departure. ",
"Howard, 25 Cal.",
"Rptr.2d 80, 863 P.2d at 156 (restriction valid if a \"reasonable cost against a partner who chooses to compete with his or her former partners\"); Pettingell, 687 N.E.2d at 1240 (financial penalty valid if \"reasonable recognition of a law firm's loss due to the departure of a partner\").",
"\n¶ 17 In the instant case, however, we need not decide which standard applies in Arizona because the subject financial penalty provision is invalid under even the more permissive standard. ",
"The financial disincentive here was not based upon any actual loss suffered by RSCE due to Fearnow's departure. ",
"On the contrary, the Agreement required Fearnow to forfeit all of his capital contribution regardless of whether he actually took with him any of RSCE's clients.[6] We, therefore, affirm the trial court's holding that the Agreement is unenforceable.",
"\n\nII\n¶ 18 Next, we turn to the issue of compensation. ",
"Both parties agree that Fearnow was properly issued his share. ",
"According to RSCE, Fearnow must now return his share without compensation. ",
"However, having concluded that the Agreement is unenforceable as being against public policy, we decline to so hold.",
"\n¶ 19 Fearnow, on the other hand, argues that RSCE is required to compensate him for his share. ",
"On appeal, he asserts two theories of recovery. ",
"First, he maintains that the Act entitles him to the fair market value of his share. ",
"Alternatively, in the event his position under the Act fails, he *361 posits that he is entitled to the return of his capital contribution under the theory of unjust enrichment. ",
"We, however, disagree with both of his arguments.",
"\n\nArizona Professional Corporation Act\n¶ 20 Fearnow first contends that the repurchase of his share pursuant to the Act is mandated by the Supreme Court's opinion in Vinall v. Hoffman, 133 Ariz. 322, 651 P.2d 850 (1982). ",
"Vinall dealt with the departure of a dentist from a professional corporation. ",
"The court concluded that the Act required the corporation to repurchase the share of the departing dentist. ",
"Id. at 324, 651 P.2d at 852.",
"\n¶ 21 Vinall, however, is no longer controlling. ",
"Vinall was based on an earlier version of the Act that required the acquisition of a shareholder's shares upon, inter alia, the \"resignation\" or \"legal disqualification\" of a shareholder. ",
"A.R.S. § 10-909(D) (1995).[7] That version of the Act, however, was repealed effective January 1, 1996, and a new Act went into effect on that same date. ",
"Thus, the language of the former A.R.S. § 10-909(D) was replaced with A.R.S. § 10-2223, which remains in effect. ",
"The former provision that a shareholder's resignation obligated a corporation to acquire the shares was specifically deleted from the new Act. ",
"See A.R.S. § 10-2223.",
"\n¶ 22 Under the current Act, a professional corporation must repurchase the shares of a shareholder upon either of two circumstances: (1) the death or dissolution of the shareholder when the person to whom the shares would be devolved is not a person eligible to hold that stock pursuant to A.R.S. § 10-2220; or (2) when the shareholder becomes a \"disqualified person.\" ",
"Id. The first circumstance clearly is inapplicable here. ",
"Therefore, under the new version of the Act, Fearnow is entitled to the fair market value of his share only if he is a \"disqualified person.\"",
"\n¶ 23 The Act now defines a \"disqualified person\" as \"an individual or entity that is not or ceases to be a qualified person.\" ",
"A.R.S. § 10-2201(1). \"",
"Qualified person\" is defined as \"a person that is eligible under the chapter to be issued shares by a professional corporation.\" ",
"A.R.S. § 10-2201(7). ",
"Eligibility for the issuance of shares from a professional corporation is set forth in A.R.S. § 10-2220(A)(1), which states that a professional corporation may issue shares to \"[i]ndividuals who are licensed by law in this or another state to render a professional service described in the corporation's articles of incorporation.\" ",
"Therefore, because Fearnow is a licensed attorney, he is eligible to be issued shares by the law firm and is a \"qualified person\" under the current Act. ",
"See Lake Havasu City v. Mohave County, 138 Ariz. 552, 555, 675 P.2d 1371, 1374 (App.1983) (court must give meaning to clear and unambiguous statutory language). ",
"Furthermore, Fearnow will remain a qualified person for so long as he is licensed to practice law in Arizona or in another state. ",
"Consequently, at this time, he cannot require that RSCE repurchase his shares on the basis that he is \"disqualified\" under the Act.",
"\n¶ 24 We note that Arizona's current Act was patterned after the 1984 Model Professional Corporate Supplement to the Model Business Corporation Act (\"Model Act Supplement\"), which supports our analysis. ",
"Terence Thompom, et al, 7 Arizona Practice Series-Corporate Practice at 631 (2004 ed.). ",
"Section 3(1) of the Model Act Supplement defines a \"disqualified person\" as \"an individual or entity that for any reason is or becomes ineligible under this Supplement to be issued shares by a professional corporation.\" ",
"Section 3(8) defines a \"qualified person\" as \"an individual ... that is eligible under the Supplement to be issued shares by a professional *362 corporation.\" ",
"The official comment clarifies that the \"Supplement permits shares of a professional corporation generally to be issued only to individuals licensed in this or another state to render a professional service.\" ",
"Model Act Supplement § 3, official cmt. ",
"1. ",
"The official comment further states that \"[t]hese persons are referred to as `qualified persons.'\" ",
"Id. Consequently, the only shareholder limitation found in the new Model Act is that the shareholder be licensed in the related profession.",
"\n¶ 25 We further note that a significant goal of every uniform act, including this one, is to foster uniform interpretations by all states that adopt it. ",
"See Canon School Dist. ",
"No. ",
"50 v. W.E.S. Const. ",
"Co. Inc., 180 Ariz. 148, 154, 882 P.2d 1274, 1280 (1994) (declaring that \"[u]niform Acts should be interpreted consistently,\" and quoting the Tennessee Supreme Court, which stated that \"[i]t is axiomatic that a purpose in enacting uniform laws is to achieve conformity, not uniqueness.... This court should strive to maintain the standardization of construction of uniform acts to carry out the legislative intent of uniformity,\" Holiday Inns, Inc. v. Olsen, 692 S.W.2d 850, 853 (Tenn.1985)); Welch-Doden v. Roberts, 202 Ariz. 201, 209, ¶¶ 33, 34, 42 P.3d 1166, 1174 (App.2002) (ruling consistent with the interpretation of other jurisdictions adopting the Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act, which was intended to reduce the potential of \"conflicting jurisdictional disputes\"). ",
"Accordingly, states should be able to enact laws patterned after model acts with the assurance that the same language enacted by different states will be similarly interpreted to reach similar results. ",
"Our conclusion is therefore bolstered by the conclusions reached by all courts that have considered the term \"disqualified\" under the Act.",
"\n¶ 26 For example, in Utah a plaintiff-attorney was fired by her firm. ",
"Berrett v. Purser & Edwards, 876 P.2d 367, 368 (Utah 1994). ",
"She then requested that the firm repurchase her shares in the professional corporation because, she alleged, she was no longer \"qualified\" to hold corporate shares. ",
"Id. The Utah Supreme Court, however, held that the Utah statute referred only to individuals who were no longer licensed in the corporation's profession. ",
"Id. at 369. ",
"The court concluded that the phrase \"no longer qualified\" did not refer to an employee whose employment relationship had been terminated, but who still was appropriately licensed. ",
"Id. at 370. ",
"The court gave the term \"qualified\" \"its logical and consistent meaning within the entire Professional Corporation Act,\" noting that if the court added to that meaning it would be exceeding its authority and legislating from the bench. ",
"Id. Moreover, in response to the plaintiff's claim that deeming her to be \"qualified\" to own shares would result in unethical ramifications, the court opined that such concerns could not alter the statute's meaning and that such employee-shareholders must take responsibility for their own failure to protect themselves in the event of termination from their firm. ",
"Id. at 371.",
"\n¶ 27 In a similar case in Florida, three attorneys, who all held shares in the same professional corporation, voluntarily discontinued employment with their firm. ",
"Corlett, Killian, Hardeman, McIntosh and Levi, P.A. v. Merritt, 478 So.2d 828, 829 (Fla.Dist.",
"Ct.",
"App.1985). ",
"The court held that the Act did not require that the professional corporation repurchase the shares of its former employees. ",
"Id. Thus, the former employees could remain shareholders in the professional corporation. ",
"Id. at 831. ",
"The Florida court, like the Utah court in Berrett, held that employee-shareholders could not look to the court for redress if they had failed to protect themselves from ethical difficulties that might arise from their continued ownership of stock in the professional corporation following the termination of their employment. ",
"Id. at 834.",
"\n¶ 28 Again, in Illinois, the appellate court opined that the state's Professional Service Corporation Act, which required a corporation to repurchase the shares of a shareholder who was \"no longer qualified,\" simply referred to shareholders who were no longer licensed in the profession and did not include those shareholders who were still licensed but whose employment relationship with the professional corporation had terminated. ",
"Trittipo v. O'Brien, 204 Ill.App.3d 662, 149 Ill.Dec. 505, 561 N.E.2d 1201, 1204-05 (1990). *",
"363 The court also commented that pursuant to the Act, licensed shareholders were not obligated to practice their profession at all; they were merely required to be licensed. ",
"Id. 149 Ill.Dec. 505, 561 N.E.2d at 1205. ",
"Hence, because the plaintiff-attorney remained licensed to practice law, the applicable statute did not require that the law firm purchase his shares. ",
"Id. Finally, the court also commented that possible ethical difficulties did not warrant unauthorized court intervention. ",
"Id. 149 Ill.Dec. 505, 561 N.E.2d at 1208.",
"\n¶ 29 We, too, recognize that the result in the instant case may expose the parties to risks of ethical improprieties; but that does not empower this court to ignore the clear language of the current Act. ",
"It simply is not our duty to legislate. ",
"See In re B.S., 205 Ariz. 611, 618, ¶ 31, 74 P.3d 285, 292 (App.2003) (court cannot add statutory requirements); State ex rel. ",
"Lassen v. Harpham, 2 Ariz.App. ",
"478, 487, 410 P.2d 100, 109 (1966) (court may not \"judicially legislate\" by adding provisions to a statute). ",
"Although another result might be preferable, given the legislative history and the plain statutory language before us, our conclusion is mandated. ",
"See Cohen v. State, 121 Ariz. 6, 9, 588 P.2d 299, 302 (1978) (\"[A] court should avoid legislating a particular result by judicial construction.",
"\").[8]\n\nUnjust Enrichment\n¶ 30 Fearnow's alternative theory of recovery, unjust enrichment, also fails. \"",
"Unjust enrichment occurs when one party has and retains money or benefits that in justice and equity belong to another.\" ",
"Trustmark Ins. ",
"Co. v. Bank One, Ariz., N.A., 202 Ariz. 535, 541, ¶ 31, 48 P.3d 485, 491 (App.2002). ",
"In the present case, RSCE has not been unjustly enriched.",
"\n¶ 31 Here, RSCE has not retained anything that belongs to Fearnow. ",
"Fearnow still owns his share in the professional corporation. ",
"Accordingly, he may exercise all shareholder rights afforded by the Professional Corporation Act. ",
"See A.R.S. § 10-2202; A.R.S. §§ 10-001 to -1702 (2004). ",
"Although Fearnow's share may be less valuable now that he has left the firm,[9] he cannot claim that he is left with fewer shareholder rights.",
"\n\nCONCLUSION\n¶ 32 For the foregoing reasons, we affirm the trial court's ruling that the Shareholder Agreement is void, but reverse the order requiring that RSCE purchase the share from Fearnow pursuant to the Act.",
"\nCONCURRING: MAURICE PORTLEY, Presiding Judge and DONN KESSLER, Judge.",
"\nNOTES\n[1] Arizona Revised Statutes (\"A.R.S.\") §§ 10-2201 to -2249 (2004).",
"\n[2] Although not at issue in this matter, the trial court also found invalid § 3(b) of the Agreement, governing \"Retirement\" of a stockholder. ",
"This provision initially required that RSCE repurchase a Stockholder's Share upon his or her retirement. ",
"However, it required a Stockholder who had retired and then resumed the private practice of law within five years to repay RSCE any amounts received for that Share, plus 10% interest.",
"\n[3] ER 1.0 defines \"partner\" as both a member of a partnership and a shareholder in a law firm organized as a professional corporation. ",
"Rule 42, Ariz. R. Sup.",
"Ct.",
"\n[4] Subsection (a) of ER 5.6 was amended on June 9, 2003, effective December 1, 2003, to read:\n\nA lawyer shall not participate in offering or making:\n(a) a partnership, shareholders, operating, employment, or other similar type of agreement that restricts the right of a lawyer to practice after termination of the relationship, except an agreement concerning benefits upon retirement....\n[5] In Valley Medical, the Arizona Supreme Court analyzed a restrictive covenant between Steven Farber, a doctor, and the professional corporation where he worked, Valley Medical Specialists (\"Valley Medical\"). ",
"That covenant precluded Dr. Farber from competing with Valley Medical for three years within a five mile radius of any of the corporation's offices, and also prohibited him from asking any present or future patients of Valley Medical to leave Valley Medical, from disclosing the identity of those patients to other Valley Medical competitors, and from providing medical care to any of Valley Medical's former patients. ",
"Id. at 365, ¶ 3, 982 P.2d at 1279. ",
"The agreement allowed Valley Medical to obtain an injunction against Dr. Farber, as well as liquidated damages, for any violation of those restrictions. ",
"Id. Accordingly, the agreement restricted Dr. Farber's right to practice medicine.",
"\n[6] RSCE also argues that Fearnow cannot claim a breach of the Ethical Rules in order to avoid a contractual obligation that he advocated, and from which he benefitted. ",
"Even accepting that as true, however, we refuse to enforce a contract that is void as against public policy. ",
"Western Corrections Group, Inc. v. Tierney, 208 Ariz. 583, 589, ¶ 24, 96 P.3d 1070, 1076 (App.2004). ",
"Our refusal to do so is in line with other jurisdictions. ",
"See White v. Medical Review Consultants, Inc., 831 S.W.2d 662, 665 (Mo.Ct.",
"App.1992)(refusing defense of estoppel and unclean hands in action invalidating lawyer contract under ER 5.6); Cohen, 75 N.Y.2d 95, 551 N.Y.S.2d 157, 550 N.E.2d 410(invalidating agreement for public policy reasons even though plaintiff had accepted benefits of agreement for years).",
"\n[7] A.R.S. § 10-909(D) provided:\n\nWithin ninety days following the death, insanity, bankruptcy, retirement, resignation, expulsion or other legal disqualification of a shareholder, all of the shares of such shareholder shall be transferred to or acquired by persons qualified to own such shares or by the corporation. ",
"Until such transfer is effected such shares shall not be entitled to be voted. ",
"Either in its articles of incorporation or its bylaws, the corporation shall fix the price or method of computing the same together with the schedule of payment therefor, for acquiring such shares, in the event the shares are not otherwise acquired within said ninety days by person qualified to own the same.",
"\n[8] Of course, nothing prevents a professional corporation from providing for the repurchase of a resigning shareholder's shares. ",
"Today we merely hold that there is not a remedy under the Act that provides for the mandatory repurchase of such shares as long as the departing shareholder remains licensed.",
"\n[9] Fearnow may \"well be left in the unfortunate position of owning unmarketable shares of stock,\" but this is \"generally true of the minority shareholders in all close corporations.\" ",

"Data collection, drill-and-practice test-prep, computerized assessment, or monitoring Common Core compliance are examples of the computer benefitting the system. “",
"Interactive” white boards, presenting information or managing whole-class simulations are examples of computing for the teacher. ",
"In this scenario, the teacher is the actor, the classroom a theatre, the students the audience and the computer is a prop.",

"The personal computer is used to amplify human potential. ",
"It is an intellectual laboratory and vehicle for self-expression that allows each child to not only learn what we’ve always taught, perhaps with greater efficacy, efficiency or comprehension. ",
"The computer makes it possible for students to learn and do in ways unimaginable just a few years ago. ",
"This vision of computing democratizes educational opportunity and supports what Papert and Turkle call epistemological pluralism. ",
"The learner is at the center of the educational experience and learns in their own way.",
"\n\nToo many educators make the mistake of assuming a false equivalence between “technology” and its use. ",
"Technology is not neutral. ",
"It is always designed to influence behavior. ",
"Sure, you might point to an anecdote in which a clever teacher figures out a way to use a white board in a learner-centered fashion or a teacher finds the diagnostic data collected by the management system useful. ",
"These are the exception to the rule.",
"\n\nWhile flexible high-quality hardware is critical, educational computing is about software because software determines what you can do and what you do determines what you can learn. ",
"In my opinion the lowest ROI comes from granting agency to the system and the most from empowering each learner. ",
"You might think of the a continuum that runs from drill/testing at the bottom; through information access, productivity, simulation and modeling; with the computer as a computational material for knowledge construction representing not only the greatest ROI, but the most potential benefit for the learner.",
"\n\nPiaget reminds us,“To understand is to invent,” while our mutual colleague Seymour Papert said, “If you can use technology to make things, you can make more interesting things and you can learn a lot more by making them.”",

"An incarcerated 17 year-old dropout saddled with a host of learning disabilities is able to use computer programming and robotics to create “gopher-cam,” an intelligent vehicle for exploring beneath the earth, or launch his own probe into space for aerial reconnaissance. ",
"Little boys and girls can now make and program wearable computers with circuitry sewn with conductive thread while 10th grade English students can bring Lady Macbeth to life by composing a symphony. ",
"Soon, you be able to email and print a bicycle. ",

"\n\nUsed well, the computer extends the breadth, depth and complexity of potential projects. ",
"This in turn affords kids with the opportunity to, in the words of David Perkins, “play the whole game.” ",
"Thanks to the computer, children today have the opportunity to be mathematicians, novelists, engineers, composers, geneticists, composers, filmmakers, etc… But, only if our vision of computing is sufficiently imaginative."

"Here we propose a novel feeder-free adaptation protocol using StemFlex medium, which can be directly applied to thawed hPSC lines.",
"The direct feeder-free adaptation protocol using StemFlex culture medium on Geltrex coating led to robust hPSC cultures in approximately 2 weeks. ",
"This approach was tested with three human embryonic stem cell (hESC) lines. ",
"All lines were confirmed to be pluripotent, expressing POU5F1, SOX2, and NANOG. ",
"No chromosomal imbalances were induced by the feeder-free adaptation.",
"StemFlex medium enabled the efficient adaptation of hPSCs to feeder-free conditions directly after thawing. ",
"This protocol is easy to implement in laboratories that perform feeder-free cultures, allowing more convenient adaptation and more robust expansion of cryopreserved hPSCs, even in cases when sample quality is low or unknown."

"Teens\n\nWriting a Paper\n\nJeffrey's history teacher assigned a term paper at the beginning of the semester. ",
"Most of the class groaned, but they didn't seem too worried. ",
"Not Jeffrey, though: The thought of having to write a paper made him really anxious. ",
"Because he didn't know where to begin, he put off thinking about the assignment until closer to the due date.",
"\n\nAlthough a lot of students take Jeffrey's \"I'll deal with it later\" approach to writing papers, it's actually better for your stress levels — not to mention grades — to start working on a paper as soon as you find out about it. ",
"With some planning and time, anyone can turn a blank document on a computer screen into a good paper.",
"\n\nWriting a paper can seem intimidating at first. ",
"But putting together a strong paper really just involves a combination of things you already know how to do.",
"\n\nUnderstanding the Assignment\n\nThe first step in writing a paper is to make sure that you understand exactly what your teacher expects. ",
"Here are some questions to ask before you start researching and writing so you can be sure you are on the right track:\n\nWhat type of paper is it? ",
"Is it a report (where you just gather facts and describe a topic), a paper in which you must offer your own ideas on an issue, or both?",
"\n\nAre there specific class readings you must use as sources?",
"\n\nWhat types of sources do you have to use? ",
"Can you use only Internet sources, or do you have to use books, journals, and newspapers too? ",
"Does your teacher like you to interview people, or does he or she prefer you stick only to printed sources?",
"\n\nAre there certain types of sources that are off-limits? ",
"Obviously, blogs and personal web pages aren't considered reliable sources. ",
"But what about other websites you might want to use? ",
"Find out what your teacher thinks about your sources before you start work.",
"\n\nWhat will your teacher look for while grading your paper? ",
"For example, is your teacher looking for a casual, descriptive writing style (like a magazine article) or a research paper with a more formal tone? ",
"Is there a certain way your teacher wants you to structure your paper?",
"\n\nHow long should the paper be (how many pages or words)?",
"\n\nDoes the paper have to be typed or presented in a certain form (such as double-spaced lines, specific margins, presented in a binder)? ",
"Are there additional graphics that you also have to provide, such as illustrations or photos?",
"\n\nDo you have to provide a bibliography, footnotes, or other list of sources?",
"\n\nSometimes a teacher will assign a topic or thesis for a paper, and sometimes he or she will leave it up to students to pick their own topics (of course these have to be related to the class or subject!).",
"\n\nIf the teacher lets you choose your own topic, it's best to write a paper about something that you find really interesting. ",
"This might be an issue that you feel strongly about and want to defend (or one you disagree with and want to argue against!). ",
"After you come up with your topic, run it by your teacher before you move on to the next step — research.",
"\n\nResearching a Topic\n\nBehind every good paper is even better research. ",
"Good research means reading a lot — both as background to help you choose a topic and then to help you write your paper.",
"\n\nDepending on your chosen topic, your research could come from class textbooks, newspapers, professional journals, and websites. ",
"These are known as your sources.",
"\n\nSources need to be reliable. ",
"To find good sources, begin at your school library, where the card catalogs and search engines can direct you to materials that have been published. ",
"When a source has been chosen for your school's library collection, you can be fairly confident that it's accurate enough to use in your paper.",
"\n\nUsing Online Sources\n\nWhen doing online research, avoid people's personal pages — it's impossible to tell if the person is an expert or just sounding off. ",
"It's best to focus your research on government sites (their domain names end in .gov), non-profit organizations (they usually end in .org), and educational sites (.edu).",
"\n\nKnowing which sources are considered good — and which ones aren't — is a skill that everyone gains with experience. ",
"Get your teacher or librarian's help in deciding if a source is credible.",
"\n\nIf you don't understand what a particular source is talking about, ask your teacher what it means so you can better understand the material. ",
"Teachers can usually tell when students use information in their papers that they don't really understand.",
"\n\nKeeping Track of Sources\n\nOnce you've found a good source, make a note of it so that you can use it for your paper. ",
"Keep a notebook or computer document that has the source's title, the page number of the important information, and a few notes about why it's important. ",
"This will help you move ahead efficiently as you write. ",
"It will also help you to cite your sources correctly (more on this later).",
"\n\nWriting Your Paper\n\nThe great part about doing lots of research is that when you really know your topic, writing about it becomes easier. ",
"Still, sitting with a blank computer screen in front of you and a deadline looming can be pretty intimidating. ",
"Even if you've read countless books, websites, and journals, and have all your notes prepared, it's normal to struggle with exactly how to get started on the actual writing.",
"\n\nThe best way to begin? ",
"Just start putting ideas down on paper! ",
"The first few words don't have to be perfect (and there's a good chance they won't be) but you'll find it gets easier after you've started. ",
"And you can always revise the actual writing later — the important thing is getting your ideas down on paper. (",
"You may have learned this approach in elementary school as writing a \"web.\") ",
"After your ideas are on paper, you can start outlining them.",
"\n\nSome people like to think of their first writing attempt as a \"first draft,\" taking the pressure off of themselves to write every sentence and line perfectly. ",
"Another good tip for getting started is to write down your ideas like you're telling your parent, brother, or sister about them.",
"\n\nDon't feel that you have to write a paper in order. ",
"If you know how you want to prove your thesis, for instance, but don't know how to introduce it, you could write some or all of the supporting paragraphs before doing the introduction.",
"\n\nMost people make revisions while they're working. ",
"For example, you may be halfway through writing paragraph four when you realize there's a better way to argue the point you made back in paragraph two. ",
"This is all part of the thinking process. (",
"And it's a good reason to leave plenty of time to do your paper rather than putting it off until the last minute!)",
"\n\nIt's also a good idea to leave enough time after finishing a paper to put it aside for a few days and then go back to make revisions. ",
"Revising a paper is a step that even the best writers think is essential. ",
"When you haven't worked on your paper for a few days, any flaws or problems will stand out more: Look for things like unnecessary words, sentences that don't make sense, and points that don't follow on from or support each other.",
"\n\nCiting Your Sources\n\nYour teacher will probably want you to cite your sources (which means list the sources you used for ideas, statements, and other information in your paper). ",
"Sources can be cited in different ways — such as endnotes, footnotes, or a bibliography. ",
"Each teacher has different preferences so ask yours for guidance.",
"\n\nCitation not only shows that a paper is well researched, it also lets the reader know which ideas came from your mind and which ideas came from someone else's. ",
"The only time it's OK not to use a citation is if the content is common knowledge (like the date of a well-known battle) or if the idea is your own.",
"\n\nCiting sources is important because it can help you avoid something called plagiarism. ",
"Plagiarism is using someone else's ideas or words without giving that person proper credit for creating them. ",
"The most common ways students plagiarize are copying, quoting, or summarizing from a source without properly citing where the information came from.",
"\n\nPlagiarism is a form of cheating — just like looking over someone's shoulder to copy answers during a test. ",
"But many people who plagiarize don't realize they're doing it. ",
"That's why it's so important to keep track of sources. ",
"After weeks of research, the average student will have a hard time remembering what points he or she came up with and what points came from sources. ",
"Teachers usually are tough on plagiarism — even if the student didn't mean to plagiarize. ",
"So keep good notes on your sources!",
"\n\nDealing with Paper Stress\n\nKnowing they have a paper to write can be stressful for many students. ",
"To avoid becoming overwhelmed, take these two simple steps:\n\nStart as soon as the paper is assigned. ",
"That way you'll have plenty of time for unexpected events — such as research that takes longer than you think or realizing you don't really like the topic you chose and need to come up with another.",
"\n\nBreak the paper down into manageable \"mini-projects.\" ",
"Your first is brainstorming an idea or topic, the next task is doing research, then comes writing the paper, and after that you'll revise it. ",
"Figure out how much time you'll need for each \"mini-project\" — this will not only help you feel more in control, it will also give you an idea of how much time the overall paper will take, from research to finished product.",
"\n\nWriting papers is a learning exercise — that's why teachers assign them! ",
"Most teachers don't expect you to do it perfectly all by yourself. ",
"Even college students head to their professors after class for help. ",
"If you need help — anywhere from the brainstorming to understanding difficult material to the writing — don't be afraid to talk to your teacher."

"High Voter Turnout a Crisis That Calls for Quick Republican Action\n\nThe media klieg lights are always on, but they dim just a tad around the close of the business day Friday. ",
"Everybody's off to happy hour, or making the week's last commute home. ",
"Media consumers take a break to spend time with friends and family, and it may be late in the weekend before they bother to consider issues affecting all society. ",
"So if you're a politician with some nefarious plan or embarassing confession, save it for late Friday -- and who knows? ",
"Maybe by the time Monday rolls around a whole bunch of other stories will have entered the news cycle and your item will be lost, forgotten.",
"\n\nThat clearly was the strategy of Florida House Republicans who had every reason to be ashamed of their effort to overhaul state voter registration laws, six months after voter drives were credited with helping Barack Obama win Florida in the presidential election. ",
"The bill would bar two forms of voter identification that were valid in 2008. ",
"It doesn't address the need for more early voting and longer hours of open polls. ",

"Why palliative care?",
"\nAnd so there we have it in a nutshell--palliative care is about caring. ",
"Caring for those who are dying and for those who look after them and then grieve their loss. ",
"Palliative care has risen like a phoenix from the ashes of neglect and bad management which, until recently, had been the lot of the dying. ",
"Perhaps this new specialty may become a guiding beacon leading a profession, somewhat bewitched and side tracked by its own scientific cleverness, back to the road of caring. ",
"I sincerely hope that as the specialty gains recognition it does not lose its present identify and fine sense of purpose."

"Clinical evaluation and treatment of immune-mediated inner ear disease.",
"\nImmune-mediated inner ear disease, first described by McCabe in 1979, typically presents with an idiopathic, rapidly progressive bilateral sensorineural hearing loss. ",
"The course of the hearing loss occurs over weeks to months. ",
"It may occur in both sexes and at a variety of ages, but is most common in middle-aged females. ",
"It may be accompanied by tinnitus, Meniere's-like vertigo, or more commonly, ataxia or unsteadiness. ",
"Approximately 30% of patients will have associated systemic immune-mediated disease. ",
"Although refinements in laboratory tests for specific inner ear antigens are being made, and non-specific laboratory indicators of inflammatory or systemic immune disease may be useful in confirming the diagnosis, the most important diagnostic finding is the improvement in hearing seen with a trial of immunosuppressants. ",
"This report includes a typical evaluation of the patient with suspected immune-mediated inner ear disease and an illustrative case. ",
"Sensorineural hearing loss due to immune-mediated inner ear disease, although unusual as a cause of hearing loss, is important to recognize because early diagnosis and treatment can have a marked effect on the clinical outcome."

"Heavily funded mobility startup Lime has announced plans to let its users book electric scooters up to 15 minutes in advance.",
"\n\nThe San Mateo-based company, which recently raised a whopping $310 million at a $2.4 billion valuation, is piloting the new reservation feature in a handful of markets around the world, including Brisbane (Australia), Tel Aviv (Israel), and Lyon (France). ",
"It hasn’t said when it will expand the offering to other regions.",
"\n\nTo use the new feature, which is only available in the iOS app for now, users need to tap on their desired scooter on the map, hit the reserve button, and then ensure that they unlock the scooter within the 15 minutes. ",
"During this period, the reserved scooter will not show up for other users in the Lime app, and no one else will be able to unlock it.",
"\n\nDuring the beta period, billing will only begin when the person who has made the reservation unlocks the scooter, though the announcement seems to suggest that there may be an additional charge when — or if — this feature officially rolls out more widely.",
"\n\nWheel deal\n\nElectric scooters emerged as one of the big breakout trends of 2018, and 2019 is already shaping up for more of the same. ",
"Besides Lime’s recent raise, which took its total funding to more than $760 million since inception two years ago, Bird raised another $300 million at a $2 billion valuation, while Sweden’s Voi Technology nabbed a further $30 million.",
"\n\nLime rebranded from LimeBike last year to highlight its focus on multiple mobility options, including electric bikes and car-sharing. ",
"But it is scooters that have taken cities around the world by storm, with Lime now operating in dozens of conurbations across the Americas, Europe, the Middle East, and the Asia-Pacific region.",
"\n\nBeing able to reserve a scooter is an incremental upgrade on the surface, but it makes the service more reliable for the end user — there is nothing more annoying than planning a journey around a scooter that’s located a few blocks away, only to discover that someone else has nabbed it before you got there. ",
"This feature makes the Lime service just that little bit stickier — if a user can guarantee that there will be an available scooter, they are more likely to use the service regularly."

"ESSENDON players have been given extra time to respond to ASADA allegations they used banned peptide Thymosin Beta 4.",
"\n\nThe allegations are made in show-cause notices issued last week by ASADA to 34 players on Essendon’s list in 2012.",
"\n\nLawyers for the players requested an extension to the initial 10-day deadline, which expires on Monday, to argue why they should not be placed on the Register of Findings — the trigger for the AFL to begin the process of issuing infraction notices that could lead to two-year bans.",
"\n\nThe date is after a Federal Court directions hearing on June 27 when the Bombers and James Hird will present their case that the joint AFL-ASADA investigation is unlawful. ",
"A final ruling is not expected for several months.",
"\n\nEssendon and the AFLPA called on ASADA to freeze the investigation until after the court case is resolved, but ASADA has not agreed to that request.",
"\n\nYesterday, the AFL Players Association refused to rule out further legal action against ASADA, saying the drug body’s recent actions have been “extremely disappointing”.",

"\n\nThe agreement stated that “to provide an immediate level of comfort ... it will be explained to players that under a no fault or negligence defence a player can receive a complete elimination of sanction”.",
"\n\nASADA handed a copy of the agreement to players and talked them through the details on February 20 last year — 15 days after footy’s doping scandal erupted.",
"\n\nSources say the players have since been of the strong belief they were not the focus of the investigation and would escape penalty over Essendon’s 2012 supplements program, owing to “exceptional circumstances” acknowledged in the agreement.",
"\n\nBut in the email from a senior AFL figure, seen by the Herald Sun, it emerges ASADA attempted to alter the agreement two weeks later.",
"\n\nRevelations of the dispute, and the league’s strong backing of the players, comes as the anti-doping agency pushes to ban 34 former and current Bombers who were issued with “show cause” notices last week.",
"\n\nThe email, which was sent on March 7 last year, says: “It is the AFL’s, Essendon Football Club’s (and its players and officials), and the AFL Players’ Association’s clear understanding that the Investigation and any subsequent actions will be conducted in accordance with your Original Statement.",
"\n\n“Further, the AFL, the Essendon Football Club (and its players and officials), and the AFL Players’ Association have all relied upon the Original Statement and the Investigation has commenced and is ongoing on the basis of this reliance.”",
"\n\nPart of the letter front he AFL to ASADA.Source:Supplied\n\nThe second half of the letter from AFL to ASADA.Source:Supplied\n\nThe email shows the extent of dealings between the AFL, ASADA and the Gillard government in the early days of the Essendon investigation.",
"\n\n“The wording released by ASADA on 20 February 2013 (Original Statement) (as detailed in Annexure A to this letter) was extensively negotiated between the AFL and ASADA, and, in our view, is clear on its face and unambiguous,” the email says.",
"\n\nSources say the agreement will be a critical element of the players’ defence to ASADA’s show-cause notices.",
"\n\nEssendon stars and their lawyers are still of the belief that players have not been administered a banned substance, but also that they would escape any sanction if it was discovered they had been deceived, provided they co-operated under the terms of the February agreement.",
"\n\nPlayers were bemused when ASADA chief executive Ben McDevitt last week appeared to suggest six-month suspensions would be available if they came forward and cooperated, which sources said they had done.",
"\n\nThe reliability of the original agreement is believed to have been a discussed at a meeting between players and their lawyers on Monday night.",
"\n\n— with Brendan Lucas\n\nActing AFLPA chief executive Ian Prendergast.",
"Source:News Limited\n\nSTATEMENT FROM ACTING AFLPA BOSS IAN PRENDERGAST:\n\n“Following the serious development of players being issued show cause notices by ASADA, and the subsequent media coverage, I’d like to provide clarity around the current situation and process from here.",
"\n\nThe players met on Monday night and were briefed by their legal team, consisting of AFL Players’ Association lawyers Bernie Shinners and Brett Murphy, in addition to Tony Hargreaves; who are jointly instructing David Grace QC and Ben Ihle of Counsel.",
"\n\nThe players’ legal team has now written to ASADA to request an extension to the 10 day period in which they were asked to respond, and to request a copy of all documents and other materials that ASADA proposes to put to the Anti-Doping Rule Violation Panel in respect of the players.",
"\n\nTo date, the players’ lawyers have not been provided with the evidence which would enable players to respond to the show cause notices, and their requests to be provided with this material have been refused.",
"\n\nThe CEO of ASADA, Ben McDevitt, has publicly urged players to come forward and co-operate with ASADA, and suggested that players may be able to utilise a plea of ‘no significant fault or negligence’, and have their penalties reduced on the basis of ‘substantial assistance’.",
"\n\nIn saying this, Mr. McDevitt seems to be suggesting that players have not fully co-operated with ASADA, yet nothing could be further from the truth. ",
"The players have done nothing but cooperate with ASADA, as they were advised to do by their Association, their club, the AFL and by ASADA officials. ",
"ASADA’s investigators have praised the players, who they considered professional, co-operative and sincere in their efforts to assist the investigation.",
"\n\nIn circumstances where not one player believes he has taken a prohibited substance, and where the players have not been provided the evidence on which ASADA relies to make this claim, why would any player consider the approach that Mr. McDevitt suggests.",
"\n\nASADA, as a model litigant, has a duty to provide players with the evidence to enable them to respond to the show cause notices. ",
"If it refuses to provide this information voluntarily, then the players will be forced to take legal action to ensure that ASADA complies with its model litigant obligations and acts fairly with respect to the players.",
"\n\nThe players’ legal team will also ask ASADA to stay the show cause process, including referral of these matters to the ADRVP, until after the club’s Federal Court action has been concluded.",
"\n\nIt is important to note that this request is not a delaying tactic — the players are, in fact, keen for this matter to be resolved, given the length of time in which this has now dragged on.",
"\n\nHowever, it makes no sense to subject players to the next stage in this process, in circumstances where the club’s legal action may subsequently render the process invalid. ",
"We therefore urge ASADA and the Club to take steps to expedite this process in the Federal Court to finalise this matter at the earliest opportunity.",
"\n\nAgain, the players’ lawyers are yet to be provided any evidence implicating players in a breach of the AFL Anti-Doping Code. ",
"In the absence of any such evidence, questions of ‘defences’ and ‘reduced sanctions’ are premature.",
"\n\nNevertheless, if the evidence does establish a breach of the code, then the steps taken by players to assure themselves that substances administered were compliant with the WADA Code must be taken into account.",
"\n\nThe players took all reasonable steps to ensure that the substances they were to be administered were compliant with the WADA Code, and were provided with written guarantees to this effect. ",
"If it turns out that those substances were not compliant, and the players were deceived by those who they were asked to trust, they should not be punished as a result.”"

",
"In EV’s original example, starting from a mixed supply of “good” bombs that will explode if a single photon hits the trigger and of dud bombs which reflect photons without exploding, a guaranteed supply of unexploded good bombs can be produced. ",
"EV’s probabilistic scheme was significantly refined by Kwiat et al.[@kwiatetal], who showed that the probability of absorption-free detection of a photo-sensitive object can be made arbitrarily close to one by a quantum Zeno interferometry technique.",
"\n\nThese schemes both distinguish perfectly opaque from perfectly transparent (or, in the original formulation, perfectly reflecting) objects. ",
"They inspired the hope that effectively absorption-free quantum interrogation methods could also be used to discriminate semi-transparent objects of different transparencies. ",
"Such absorption-free discrimination, if possible, would be of great practical value. ",
"It could, for example, allow a “safe X-ray”, in which images of a patient’s internal structure could be obtained with arbitrarily low absorption of harmful X-rays.",
"\n\nIn fact, though, the Kwiat et al. ",
"quantum Zeno technique does not allow absorption-free discrimination between partially opaque objects[@kwiatscripta]. ",
"More generally, Mitchison and Massar have shown[@mm] that there is a non-zero bound on the probabilities of absorption involved in any scheme discriminating between two imperfectly opaque objects.",
"\n\nThe Mitchison-Massar bound might be taken as dampening hope of finding any seriously valuable imaging applications of quantum interrogation other than discriminating a partially opaque and a completely transparent object. ",
"However, such pessimism would be unjustified. ",
"We describe here two quantum interrogation schemes which show that quantum information can indeed be used to extract imaging information about semi-transparent objects with significantly reduced absorption rates. ",
"Though the safe X-ray is impossible, a somewhat safer X-ray is viable, at least in theory.",
"\n\nWe represent the object to be imaged as an array of $N$ pixels, labelled by $i$ from $1$ to $N$, with transparencies $\\alpha_i$ for the relevant radiation. ",
"That is, the interaction between a photon and the $i$-th pixel is described by $$\\ket{ \\gamma^{\\rm in}_i } \\ket{i} \\rightarrow \\alpha_i \n\\ket{ \\gamma^{\\rm out}_i } \\ket{i} + \n\\beta_i \\ket{ i^* } \\, ,$$ where $\\ket{ \\gamma^{\\rm in}_i } $ and $\\ket{ \\gamma^{\\rm out}_i}$ describe incoming and outgoing photons in a beam passing through the $i$-th pixel, $\\ket{i}$ is the initial state of the $i$-th pixel, $\\ket{ i^* }$ is the excited state of the $i$-th pixel after absorbing a photon, and $ | \\alpha_i |^2 + | \\beta_i |^2 = 1$, with $ 0 \\leq | \\alpha_i | \\leq 1 $.",
"\n\nOur aim is to extract useful imaging information about the pixel array transparencies while minimizing the expected number of photons absorbed in the array. ",
"Specifically, we are interested in quantum methods which do better in this respect than standard X-ray imaging. ",
"A standard X-ray image is effectively obtained by firing a number of photons separately through each of a number of different pixels, counting the number of outgoing photons, and statistically inferring information about the individual pixel transparencies or some joint functions thereof. ",
"This “classical” method makes no essential use of the fact that quantum information is being generated in the imaging process. ",
"Indeed, it makes no use of quantum theory at all, beyond the fact that photons are quantised. ",
"Effectively the same method could be used with classical radiation, assuming some finite bound on the sensitivity with which the amplitude of the outgoing radiation can be measured, and indeed this is how most standard imaging schemes work in practice.",
"\n\nFrom the perspective of quantum information theory, however, the classical method seems unlikely to be optimal for general problems. ",
"The pixel array behaves like a non-unitary oracle in its action on incoming quantum states. ",
"It is well known in quantum computing that interrogating a unitary oracle by quantum superposition states and processing the outputs can be far more efficient than invoking it only on the basis states which define its action. ",
"It should not be surprising that this turns out also to be true of non-unitary oracles. ",
"In fact, as we show here, it is true in simple examples which arise naturally as imaging problems.",
"\n\nTesting an array for defects\n============================\n\nConsider the following situation. ",
"We know that the transparency of pixel $i$ should be $\\alpha_i$, if nothing untoward has occurred. ",
"However, we are concerned that there may be a small number of pixels whose transparency is in fact significantly different from the theoretical value, and we wish to check on this. ",
"To be precise, we have some fixed parameter $\\epsilon$, and know that up to $M$ of the pixels may have an altered transparency $\\alpha'_i$, where $| \\alpha'_i - \\alpha_i | \\geq \\epsilon $, while the rest of the transparencies are unaltered. ",
"We wish to be statistically certain, to within some prescribed degree of confidence $(1- \\delta)$, whether or not there are any altered transparency pixels. ",
"If there are, we wish to identify them.",
"\n\nThis problem would arise, for example, for pixel arrays manufactured by a generally reliable process that occasionally suffers from some specific defect on individual pixels. ",
"It is also an idealisation of the imaging problem that arises when we have previously taken an X-ray of a (then) healthy patient and now want to know whether any significant change has occurred, if we may assume that any changes will be confined to a small part of the image.",
"\n\nIn the following discussion we take $M$, $\\delta$ and $\\epsilon$ to be fixed, with $N$ varying. ",
"We are interested in the behaviour for large $N$; in particular we assume $N$ is large compared to $M^2$, $\\epsilon^{-2}$ and $\\delta^{-1}$. We also assume the $\\alpha_i$ are generally not close to $0$ or $1$.\n\nThe classical method requires estimating the transparency of each pixel separately. ",
"This is done by firing photons through each pixel and ensuring that the transparencies can all be identified, either as the expected $\\alpha_i$ or as differing by at least $\\epsilon$, with confidence $(1- \\delta )$ that none of the $N$ identifications is erroneous. ",
"A classically obtained image giving this degree of confidence separately for each of the individual pixel identification requires $O( \\epsilon^{-2} N )$ absorptions. ",
"However, as $N$ grows, the chance that at least one of the $N$ pixel transparencies will be misestimated by more than $\\epsilon$ grows logarithmically in $N$. Allowing for this, we see that the classical solution to the problem defined requires an absorption rate of $O( \\epsilon^{-2} N \\log (N) )$.",
"\n\nConsider now the following quantum method. ",
"Each incoming photon is split into an equally weighted superposition of states incident on each of the pixels. ",
"That is: $$\\ket{\\gamma_{\\rm in} } \\rightarrow {1 \\over {\\sqrt{N}}} \\sum_{i=1}^N \n\\ket{\\gamma_{\\rm in}^i } \\, .$$ Let the actual transparency of pixel $i$ be $\\beta_i$. After passing through the pixels, the photon, if it was not absorbed, is in the state $${C \\over {\\sqrt{N}}} \\sum_{i=1}^N \\beta_i \\ket{ \\gamma_{\\rm out}^{i} } \\, ,$$ where $C$ is a normalisation constant and $\\ket{\\gamma_{\\rm out}^i }$ are the states of photons emerging on the far side of pixel $i$.\n\nWe now need to know whether the photon was absorbed or not. ",
"If the absorptions themselves are not easily detected, this can in principle be tested by carrying out a von Neumann measurement of the photon number of the outgoing beam state. ",
"Assuming no absorption, we now carry out a further von Neumann measurement, measuring the projection $P_{\\psi}$ onto the state $$\\ket{ \\psi } = {C' } \\sum_{i=1}^N \\alpha_i \\ket{\n \\gamma_{\\rm out}^i } \\, .$$ If we obtain eigenvalue $0$, we know that the normalised outgoing state was not $\\ket{\\psi}$, and hence that not all the pixel transparencies can have the theoretical value. ",
"In this case, we apply a second measurement, simultaneously measuring the projections onto the states $\\ket{\\gamma_{\\rm out}^i}$ for $i$ from $1$ to $N$. In other words, we look to see which of the outgoing beams we find a photon in. ",
"We take the answer $i$ to indicate that pixel $i$ is defective.",
"\n\nReducing the probability of a false negative — a defective pixel array producing eigenvalue $1$ throughout the sequence of tests — to $\\delta$ requires $O( \\log ( \\delta^{-1}) N \\epsilon^{-2} )$ such tests. ",
"and hence (given our assumptions about the $\\alpha_i$) this order of absorptions. ",
"Comparing the classical technique, and considering only the $N$-dependence for large $N$ (since the other parameters are fixed), we find a reduction of a factor of $O( \\log N )$ in the absorption rate.",
"\n\nWhen the defect test is positive, the probability of mis-identifying a good pixel as defective when we measure the outgoing beam is $O ( M / N )$. ",
"If this level of certainty is acceptable, a pixel thus identified as defective can be excluded from later tests. ",
"Up to $M$ defective pixels can then be identified as defective, with the probability of any erroneous identification being $O ( M^2 / N )$. ",
"If these certainty levels are insufficient, we may require more than one positive result to identify a defective pixel. ",
"For any fixed level of certainty, however, the overall gain over the classical method remains proportional to $\\log N$.\n\nThese calculations assume that the theoretical values of the $\\alpha_i$ are determined with absolute precision. ",
"In the realistic case in which these values are themselves subject to errors, of sizes bounded by $\\epsilon'$, the conclusions hold so long as $\\epsilon' \\ll (M \\epsilon / N )$.",
"\n\nSearching for infrequently occurring large structures\n=====================================================\n\nWe again consider an array of $N$ pixels, and suppose now that we are looking for a particular type of rarely occurring image. ",
"We model this as follows. ",
"Our aim is to decide, with confidence $(1 - \\delta )$, whether the array has a particular pattern $\\{ \\alpha_i^0 \\}$ of transparencies. ",
"We suppose that the prior probability of this pattern occuring is some small but non-zero number $p$, and that with probability $(1-p)$ the pixel transparencies are randomly drawn from identical independent probability distributions. ",
"To be definite, we suppose that in this latter case the pixel transparencies are uniformly distributed in the complex unit disc. ",
"We suppose also that $\\exp ( - \\sqrt{N} ) \\ll \\delta p $.",
"\n\nWe neglect constant factors throughout this section, considering only the degree of dependence on the parameters $N, \\delta, p$.\n\nClassically, we can only approach this problem by obtaining statistical estimates of some or all of the $| \\alpha_i |$, and comparing the estimates to $| \\alpha_i^0 | $. ",
"Estimating the $| \\alpha_i | $ on $r$ pixels to within error $\\epsilon$ requires $ \\approx r \\epsilon^{-2} $ photon measurements and absorptions. ",
"Suppose that $r$ such measurements produce the estimates $ | | \\alpha_i | - | \\alpha_i^0 | | < \\epsilon$. For this to give us the required confidence that we have found an example of the image requires that $\\epsilon^{r} \\approx \\delta p$. Minimizing with respect to $\\epsilon$, we find this strategy requires $\\approx - \\log ( \\delta p )$ absorptions.",
"\n\nIn a quantum approach to the problem, we proceed as in the previous example, preparing an equal superposition of photon states incident on the pixels and, if there is no absorption, testing whether the emerging state is $\\ket{ \\psi^0 } = {C' } \\sum_{i=1}^N \\alpha_i^0 \\ket{\n \\gamma_{\\rm out}^i }$. ",
"In the case where the pixel transparencies were randomly drawn from uniform distributions, the probability that they are such that the emerging state $\\ket { \\psi }$ obeys $ | \\braket{ \\psi_0 }{ \\psi } |^2 > \n{ 1 \\over { \\sqrt{N}} }$ is $\\approx \\exp ( - \\sqrt{N} )$, which is negligible in our calculations. ",
"So we may assume that a randomly drawn array will have transparencies such that $ | \\braket{ \\psi_0}{ \\psi } |^2 < { 1 \\over { \\sqrt{N}} }$. ",
"We can confidently conclude that the image sought is present after $x$ successful (and no unsuccessful) tests, where $ ( {1 \\over { \\sqrt{N} } } )^x \\approx \\delta p $, so that $x \\approx \\max ( {{ - \\log ( \\delta p ) } \\over { \\log N }} , 1 )$. ",
"As this represents the order of the number of absorptions required, we again find a logarithmic quantum advantage.",
"\n\nThese arguments generalise to a search for an infrequently occurring image which may be any one of $N$ known possibilities whose transparencies define $N$ orthogonal states $\\ket{ \\psi_i }$.",
"\n\nConclusions\n===========\n\nThe methods we have described show that quantum interrogation can have useful advantages over standard classical methods for realistic large array imaging problems. ",
"It is perhaps worth noting that these methods apply equally well to time-dependent imaging problems. ",
"A single array in our model could, for example, represent a smaller array being repeatedly probed at a sequence of times.",
"\n\nA further example of a problem in which there is a logarithmic quantum advantage has been found by Massar et al.[@mmp]. ",
"It would be good to have a general understanding of the range of problems in which there is a quantum advantage. ",
"It would also be useful to identify the advantage attainable by optimal techniques, both for the problems we have described and more generally. ",
"Here the bounds obtained in independent work by Massar et al.[@mmp] may be of help.",

"Field of the Invention\nThe present invention relates to techniques for communicating between integrated circuits. ",
"More specifically, the present invention relates to a method and an apparatus for using capacitively coupled communication techniques to communicate between stacked assemblies of laminated integrated circuit (IC) chips.",
"\n2. ",
"Related Art\nAdvances in semiconductor technology have made it possible to fabricate a single IC (Integrated Circuit) chip that contains hundreds of millions of transistors. ",
"One of the advantages of integrating systems onto a single IC chip is that it increases the operating speed of the overall system. ",
"This is because in an alternative design of multiple chips, the signals between system components have to cross chip boundaries, which typically reduces the system's operating speed due to the lengthy chip-to-chip propagation delays and limited number of chip-to-chip wires. ",
"In contrast, in a single-chip solution, the signals between system components no longer have to cross chip boundaries, thereby significantly increasing the overall system speed. ",
"Moreover, integrating systems onto a single IC chip significantly reduces overall costs because fewer chips are required to perform a given computational task.",
"\nHowever, some systems cannot be integrated into a single chip due to their high complexity and large size. ",
"Note that multiple IC chips are typically integrated onto a printed circuit board that contains multiple layers of signal lines for inter-chip communication. ",
"Furthermore, signal lines on an IC chip are about 100 times more densely packed than signal lines on a printed circuit board. ",
"Consequently, only a tiny fraction of the signal lines on a chip can be routed across the printed circuit board to other chips. ",
"For this reason, in such systems, inter-chip communication becomes the bottleneck for increasing the operating speed. ",
"Moreover, increases in IC integration densities are expected to exacerbate this bottleneck.",
"\nTo overcome this inter-chip communication bottleneck, researchers have recently developed an alternate technique, known as “Proximity Communication,” for communicating between semiconductor chips. ",
"Proximity Communication in an I/O technology that allows two face-to-face chips to communicate without wires. ",
"It involves integrating arrays of capacitive transmitters and receivers onto active surfaces of IC chips to facilitate inter-chip communication. ",
"If a first chip is situated face-to-face with a second chip so that transmitter regions on the first chip are capacitively coupled with receiver regions on the second chip, it is possible to transmit signals directly from the first chip to the second chip without having to route the signal through intervening signal lines within a printed circuit board.",
"\nAlthough Proximity Communication promises much higher I/O density and lower power, it requires accurate alignment between the two communicating chips. ",
"Mechanical misalignment degrades performance by reducing signal and augmenting crosstalk noise; if the chips are sufficiently misaligned, noise may dominate the desired signal, and communication may fail. ",
"There are two main types of misalignment: in-plane misalignment and chip separation. ",
"Tilt and rotation manifest as aberrations of these two effects.",
"\nSeveral techniques have been developed to mitigate in-plane misalignment in the horizontal (x, y) plane. ",
"It can be corrected by adjusting the spatial placement of data on the sending or transmitting (Tx) chip, depending on the relative position of the receiving (Rx) chip. ",
"However, the data steering circuitry is complex, costly in power, and works only over a small spatial range—typically two pad pitches. ",
"Also, the electronic alignment scheme proposed by Drost et al. ",
"in “Electronic Alignment for Proximity Communication,” IEEE International Solid-State Circuits Conference, 15-19 Feb. 2004, vol. ",
"1, 2004 only works for capacitively-coupled Proximity Communication. ",
"No analogous method has yet been developed for inductively coupled communication; in fact, crosstalk noise is a major limitation of such an inductively coupled scheme even in the absence of misalignment, because magnetic fields must have closed return paths, and these loops are often unconfined and large. ",
"Recent demonstrations of inductively-coupled data links showed that in the absence of active crosstalk reduction schemes, noise limits the achievable bit-error-rate (BER) to greater than 10−4 even for a large channel pitch of 60 microns, as described by Miura et al. ",
"in “A 1Tb/s 3 W Inductive-coupling Transceiver for Inter-Chip Clock and Data Link,” ISSC Digest Technical Papers, pp. ",
"142-143, February 2006.",
"\nChip separation also degrades performance by reducing signal level and augmenting crosstalk noise. ",
"Unfortunately, it cannot be easily corrected by electronic means. ",
"Although in theory it is possible to adapt signaling levels and pad sizes to mitigate the degradation introduced by chip separation, these schemes are overly complex and infeasible to implement in practice. ",
"Reliable communication therefore mainly relies on tight tolerances in packaging technologies that can ensure an adequately-small and well-controlled separation between the two communicating chips.",
"\nMultiple access schemes are well established in modern wireless telecommunication systems using electromagnetic (radio) waves propagating over large distances. ",
"Multiple devices in a cellular network, for example, can communicate simultaneously with a base station over the same space because each device is assigned a different time slot, frequency band, or code. ",
"The multiple access schemes used in wireless communication systems are effective at allowing multiple channels to operate across the same space over long distances with minimal interference."

",
"From an estimation perspective, it is desirable to have a substantial amount of information available. ",
"This has been made possible by emerging technology in fixed and mobile sensing and by the advancement of cyber-physical infrastructure, see [@MC] for a specific discussion. ",
"Depending on the characteristics of sensing devices and the underlying modeling framework, traffic sensing can be categorized as Eulerian sensing (such as using loop detector, virtual tripwire, and video camera) and Lagrangian sensing (such as using GPS and smart phone).",
"\n\nThis paper is concerned with using the Lighthill-Whitham-Richards model to estimate traffic states, subject to constraints imposed by sensing data that are large in quantity, and high in dimension. ",
"The LWR model is described by a [*partial differential equation*]{} (PDE), more specifically, by a [*scalar conservation law*]{} (SCL). ",
"For general mathematical background on SCL, the reader is referred to [@Bbook]. ",
"The LWR SCL is closely related to a Hamilton-Jacobi equation, via the Moskowitz function [@Moskowitz], also known as the Newell curve [@Newell]. ",
"It is shown in [@Evans] that a weak entropy solution to the LWR SCL leads to the viscosity solution of the corresponding H-J equation; and vise versa.",
"\n\nViability theory and Lax-Hopf formula\n-------------------------------------\n\nFrom a PDE perspective, additional information on the traffic stream provided by sensors imposes multiple initial/boundary and/or internal boundary conditions that may lead to non-existence of a well-defined solution, namely, entropy solution to the scalar conservation law; or viscosity solution to the H-J equation. ",
"Recently, [@ABSP] extended the viscosity solution of H-J equations to a solution class known as the Barron-Jensen/Frankowska solutions [@BJ; @Frankowska]. ",
"The generalized solution, called viability episolution [@Aubin], is lower semi-continuous, and satisfies the initial/boundary and/or internal boundary conditions in an inequality sense. ",
"Such a relaxation, while excluding some nice mathematical properties of the solution, does allow the PDE to incorporate multiple value conditions and produce solutions that are well-informed of traffic states transmitted by the sensors. ",
"Based on this idea, a sequence of seminal papers, [@CC1; @CC2; @Convex] were created, which performed highway traffic estimation as well as data assimilation and inverse modeling.",
"\n\nThe LWR model in Lagrangian coordinate\n--------------------------------------\n\nThe LWR model is commonly formulated as a scalar conservation law in [*Eulerian coordinate*]{} (EC), i.e. with independent variables $t$ (time) and $x$ (location). ",
"A list of selected references in this line of research includes [@BH; @BH1; @CC1; @CC2; @HJDaganzo; @HJDaganzo2; @LWRDUE; @Newell]. ",
"Another way of formulating the traffic dynamic is through [*Lagrangian coordinate*]{} (LC), which identifies $t$ (time) and $n$ (vehicle label). ",
"In contrast to EC, LC describes time evolution of traffic quantities associated with a moving vehicle. ",
"Such a framework was initially introduced by [@CF] in the context of gas dynamics. ",
"LC was introduced to traffic flow modeling by [@HJDaganzo2], and subsequently studied by [@Leclercq] and [@Yuan]. ",
"A more detailed review of the LWR model in both EC and LC is presented later in Section \\[LWREL\\].",
"\n\nThe LWR PDE in LC can be derived from the Eulerian-based PDE; and vise versa. ",
"This procedure was given an intuitive illustration in [@HJDaganzo2], provided that all quantities of interest were continuously differentiable. ",
"In [@Leclercq], the authors related the equivalence of EC- and LC-based PDEs to an earlier work [@Wagner] on gas dynamics. ",
"However, we point out that [@Wagner] studied an Euler equation, which is a system of conservation laws; results regarding such a system do not apply immediately to the scalar conservation law of interest. ",
"In this paper, we provide a rigorous proof of the equivalence between the two systems, in the context of Hamilton-Jacobi equation and viscosity solutions. ",
"The result will apply to the LWR conservation laws even if the solutions are not continuous, let alone differentiable. ",
"Technical result is presented in Section \\[LCequivalence\\].",
"\n\nAs mentioned before, solution to the H-J equation has been extended to treat multiple value conditions, using viability theory [@Aubin]. ",
"In this paper, we apply the framework of viability theory to the Lagrangian-based Hamilton-Jacobi equations. ",
"The goal is to explore the unique modeling and computational advantages of the LC in highway traffic estimation. ",
"In particular, using the Lax-Hopf formula, we derive explicit solutions to the LC-based H-J equation with various value conditions including initial/intermediate condition, upstream/downstream boundary condition, internal boundary condition, and a combination of the above. ",
"This is presented in Section \\[simplesol\\]. ",
"As pointed out by recent studies [@Leclercq] and [@Yuan], LC-based conservation law has certain computational advantage over EC-based ones, in the context of Godunov scheme [@Godunov]. ",
"Namely, the Godunov scheme reduces to an upwind scheme for LC-based conservation law, since the corresponding fundamental diagram is monotonically increasing. ",
"As we show in this paper, when solved with the Lax-Hopf formula, the LC-based H-J equation also reduces the computational complexity, compared with the EC-based H-J equation. ",
"Finally, we test the framework of Lagrangian-based traffic sensing and estimation with dataset obtained from the Mobile Century field experiment [@MC]. ",
"The Lagrangian-based approach provides traffic information associated with each moving vehicle, such as trajectory and speed. ",
"Such information are relatively difficult to obtain from the Eulerian-based approach: one has to perform partial inversion of the Moskowitz function.",
"\n\nOrganization\n------------\n\nThe rest of this paper is organized as follows. ",
"In Section \\[LWREL\\], we briefly review the Lighthill-Whitham-Richards model in both Eulerian and Lagrangian coordinates. ",
"A rigorous equivalence result regarding the EC-based and LC-based H-J equations is presented in Section \\[LCequivalence\\]. ",
"Section \\[BJF\\] introduces the notion of viability episolution and the generalized Lax-Hopf formula. ",
"Data of different sources are discussed and integrated into the Lagrangian PDE. ",
"In section \\[simplesol\\], we derive explicit solutions to the Lagrangian-based H-J equation, using the Lax-Hopf formula. ",
"In Section \\[numerical\\], we apply the Lagrangian-based computational paradigm to estimate real-world highway traffic stream.",
"\n\nThe LWR model in transformed coordinates {#LWREL}\n========================================\n\nIn this section, we review the Lighthill-Whitham-Richards model in both Eulerian and Lagrangian coordinates. ",
"The transformation between these two coordinate systems is made through a function inversion under minor assumption. ",
"In section \\[LCequivalence\\], rigorous result on the equivalence of the two systems is provided, using Hamilton-Jacobi equation and the notion of viscosity solution.",
"\n\nThe LWR model in Eulerian coordinates {#LCEulerian}\n-------------------------------------\n\nThe classical LWR PDE reads \\_t(t,x)+ f\\_x((t,x)) = 0(t,x)\\[0,+)where the subscripts denote partial derivative. ",
"The scalar conservation law above describes the temporal-spatial evolution of average vehicle density $\\rho(t,\\,x)$ and average vehicle flow $f\\big(\\rho(t,\\,x)\\big)$. The density-flow relation is articulated by the [*fundamental diagram*]{} $f(\\cdot)$ f() = v()where $\\rho_{max}$ is jam density. ",
"The average vehicle speed $v(\\rho)\\in[0,\\,v_{max}]$ is a decreasing function of density; $v_{max}$ denotes the free flow speed. ",
"The fundamental diagram is assumed to be concave with maximum $M$ attained at $\\rho^*$, where $M$ is the flow capacity.",
"\n\nWe introduce the Moskowitz function $N(\\cdot\\,,\\,\\cdot)$, also know as the Newell-curve, such that N\\_t(t,x) = f((t,x)),N\\_x(t,x) = -(t,x) Hereafter, “a.e.\" ",
"stands for “almost everywhere\". ",
"$N(t,\\,x)$ measures the cumulative number of vehicles that have passed location $x$ by time $t$. It has been shown in a number of circumstances that if $\\rho(t,\\,x)$ is the weak entropy solution to (\\[LWRE\\]), then the corresponding Moskowitz function is the viscosity solution to the following Hamilton-Jacobi equation N\\_t(t,x)-f(- N\\_x(t,x)) = 0\n\nNote that viscosity solution to (\\[HJE\\]) must be Lipschitz continuous, but not necessarily continuously differentiable due to the presence of shock waves in $\\rho(t,\\,x)$. There exists, however, more general solution classes such as the viability episolution [@ABSP], which is lower semi-continuous.",
"\n\nThe LWR model in Lagrangian coordinates {#LCLagrangian}\n----------------------------------------\n\nIn Lagrangian coordinate system, a free variable $n$ is used to identify a particular vehicle. ",
"Note that in a continuum model, $n$ is treated as a real number. ",
"The coordinate transformation from $(t,\\,x)$ to $(t,\\,n)$ is made by inverting the following Moskowitz function n = N(t,x) Throughout this article, we assume that the vehicle density is uniformly positive, i.e. there exists $\\delta>0$ such that $$\\label{reveqn1}\n\\rho(t,\\,x)~\\geq~\\delta\\qquad\\forall~(t,\\,x)\\in[0,\\,+\\infty)\\times[0,\\,L]$$ This assumption is not restrictive given the argument that if the density vanishes in certain road segments, then the domain of study can be separated into several subdomains, with each one satisfying (\\[reveqn1\\]).",
"\n\nFor each $t$ fixed, (\\[reveqn1\\]) implies that $N(t,\\,\\cdot)$ is a strictly decreasing function of $x$, whose inverse is denoted by $X(t,\\,\\cdot)$. We have x = X(t,n) where $X(t,\\,n)$ represents the location of vehicle labeled $n$ at time $t$. Identities (\\[N\\]) and (\\[X\\]) define the coordinate transformation. ",
"We have the following X\\_t(t,n) = v(t,n),X\\_n(t,n) = -s(t,n) where $v(t,\\,n)$ and $s(t,\\,n)$ denote the average speed and spacing around vehicle $n$ at time $t$, respectively. ",
"Introducing the spacing-velocity relationship v = (s) f([1s]{})sswe present the Hamilton-Jacobi equation in Lagrangian coordinate X\\_t(t,n)-(- X\\_n(t,n)) = 0\n\nEquivalence between (\\[HJE\\]) and (\\[HJnt\\]) {#LCequivalence}\n--------------------------------------------\n\nIn this section, we provide rigorous mathematical analysis on the relationship between the two H-J equations in EC and in LC. ",
"Our strategy is to show that if $N(t,\\,x)$ is the viscosity solution to (\\[HJE\\]), then its partial inverse as defined by (\\[N\\]) and (\\[X\\]), is the viscosity to (\\[HJnt\\]). ",
"The converse will hold similarly. ",
"We begin with the definition of viscosity solution to Hamilton-Jacobi equation of the form u\\_t+H(u) = 0 where the unknown $u(t,\\,x)\\in\\R^m$; $\\nabla u$ is the gradient of u with respect to $x$. In what follows, $C$, $C^1$ denotes the set of continuous and continuously differentiable functions, respectively.",
"\n\n\\[visdef\\] A function $u\\in C(\\Omega)$ is a viscosity subsolution of (\\[HJgeneral\\]) if, for every $C^1$ function $\\varphi=\\varphi(t,\\,x)$ such that $u-\\varphi$ has a local maximum at $(t,\\,x)$, there holds \\_t(t,x)+H() 0 Similarly, $u\\in C(\\Omega)$ is a viscosity supersolution of (\\[HJgeneral\\]) if, for every $C^1$ function $\\varphi=\\varphi(t,\\,x)$ such that $u-\\varphi$ has a local minimum at $(t,\\,x)$, there holds \\_t(t,x)+H() 0 We say that $u$ is a viscosity solution of (\\[HJgeneral\\]) if it is both a supersolution and a subsolution in the viscosity sense.",
"\n\nIf $u$ is a $C^1(\\Omega)$ function and satisfies (\\[HJgeneral\\]) at every $x\\in\\Omega$, then $u$ is also a solution in the viscosity sense. ",
"Conversely, if $u$ is a viscosity solution, then the equality must hold at every point $x$ where $u$ is differentiable. ",

"Q:\n\nRead committed Snapshot VS Snapshot Isolation Level\n\nCould some one please help me understand when to use SNAPSHOT isolation level over READ COMMITTED SNAPSHOT in SQL Server?",
"\nI understand that in most cases READ COMMITTED SNAPSHOT works, but not sure when go for SNAPSHOT isolation.",
"\nThanks\n\nA:\n\nREAD COMMITTED SNAPSHOT does optimistic reads and pessimistic writes. ",
" In contrast, SNAPSHOT does optimistic reads and optimistic writes.",
"\nMicrosoft recommends READ COMMITTED SNAPSHOT for most apps that need row versioning.",
"\nRead this excellent Microsoft article: Choosing Row Versioning-based Isolation Levels. ",
" It explains the benefits and costs of both isolation levels. ",
" \nAnd here's a more thorough one:\nhttp://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms345124(SQL.90).aspx\n\nA:\n\n[![",
"Isolation levels table][2]][2]\nSee the example below:\nRead Committed Snapshot\nChange the database property as below\nALTER DATABASE SQLAuthority\nSET READ_COMMITTED_SNAPSHOT ON WITH ROLLBACK IMMEDIATE\nGO\n\nSession 1\nUSE SQLAuthority\nGO\nBEGIN TRAN\nUPDATE DemoTable\nSET i = 4\nWHERE i = 1\n\nSession 2\nUSE SQLAuthority\nGO\nBEGIN TRAN\nSELECT *\nFROM DemoTable\nWHERE i = 1\n\nResult – Query in Session 2 shows old value (1, ONE) because current transaction is NOT committed. ",
"This is the way to avoid blocking and read committed data also.",
"\nSession 1\nCOMMIT\n\nSession 2\nUSE SQLAuthority\nGO\nSELECT *\nFROM DemoTable\nWHERE i = 1\n\nResult – Query in Session 2 shows no rows because row is updated in session 1. ",
"So again, we are seeing committed data.",
"\nSnapshot Isolation Level\nThis is the new isolation level, which was available from SQL Server 2005 onwards. ",
"For this feature, there is a change needed in the application as it has to use a new isolation level.",
"\nChange database setting using below. ",
"We need to make sure that there is no transaction in the database.",
"\nALTER DATABASE SQLAuthority SET AllOW_SNAPSHOT_ISOLATION ON\n\nNow, we also need to change the isolation level of connection by using below\nSession 1\nUSE SQLAuthority\nGO\nBEGIN TRAN\nUPDATE DemoTable\nSET i = 10\nWHERE i = 2\n\nSession 2\nSET TRANSACTION ISOLATION LEVEL SNAPSHOT\nGO\nUSE SQLAuthority\nGO\nBEGIN TRAN\nSELECT *\nFROM DemoTable\nWHERE i = 2\n\nResult- Even if we have changed the value to 10, we will still see old record in session 2 (2, TWO).",
"\nNow, let’s commit transaction in session 1\nSession 1\nCOMMIT\n\nLet’s come back to session 2 and run select again.",
"\nSession 2\nSELECT *\nFROM DemoTable\nWHERE i = 2\n\nWe will still see the record because session 2 has stated the transaction with snapshot isolation. ",
"Unless we complete the transaction, we will not see latest record.",
"\nSession 2\nCOMMIT\nSELECT *\nFROM DemoTable\nWHERE i = 2\n\nNow, we should not see the row as it's already updated.",
"\nSee: SQL Authority, Safari Books Online\n\nA:\n\nNo comparison of Snapshot and Snapshot Read Committed is complete without a discussion of the dreaded \"snapshot update conflict\" exception that can happen in Snapshot, but not Snapshot Read Committed. ",
"\nIn a nutshell, Snapshot isolation retrieves a snapshot of committed data at the start of a transaction, and then uses optimistic locking for both reads and writes. ",
" If, when attempting to commit a transaction, it turns out that something else changed some of that same data, the database will rollback the entire transaction and raise an error causing a snapshot update conflict exception in the calling code. ",
" This is because the version of data affected by the transaction is not the same at the end of the transaction as it was at the start.",
"\nSnapshot Read Committed does not suffer from this problem because it uses locking on writes (pessimistic writes) and it obtains snapshot version information of all committed data at the stat of each statement. ",
" \nThe possibility of snapshot update conflicts happening in Snapshot and NOT Snapshot Read Committed is an extremely significant difference between the two.",

"Clock recovery circuits are used in high-speed receivers to recover timing information from an incoming data signal. ",
"A basic clock recovery circuit 101 implemented as part of an integrated circuit (IC) is illustrated in FIG. ",
"1. ",
"Digital information in the incoming data signal arrives at a signaling pin 103 of the IC. ",
"The digital information is often encoded to ensure a minimum transition density needed for clock recovery. ",
"The clock recovery circuit 101 generates a recovered clock from the incoming data signal, which is then fed over a feedback path 105 to an input of the clock recovery circuit. ",
"Both the feedback path and the incoming data signal are compared by a phase detector 109, which determines whether the recovered clock signal is early or late relative to the incoming data signal. ",
"Phase difference information from the phase detector is passed through a filter 113 and accumulated to control a charge pump 115. ",
"In turn, the charge pump 115 generates a control signal for a variable frequency oscillator (VFO) 117, which advances or delays frequency and phase of the recovered clock in order to align its edges with the incoming data signal. ",
"This structure implements a phase-locked loop (PLL) that, over time, closely aligns the recovered clock with phase and frequency of the incoming data signal. ",
"An offset circuit 106 creates a phase-shifted copy of the recovered clock to generate a sampling clock, used to align a data sampler 107 to the midpoint of a data interval. ",
"In some cases the offset circuit 106 is an integral part of VFO 117. ",
"As indicated by reference numeral 111, the data sampler 107 can itself be a part of the phase detector 109, with a single circuit 111 used for both clock and data recovery.",
"\nConventional clock recovery designs such as depicted in FIG. ",
"1A are often rooted in a form of binary phase detector known as a “bang-bang” or Alexander phase detector. ",
"Comprised of relatively simple logic, a bang-bang phase detector identifies logic state transition between successive digital symbols and takes an “edge sample” exactly at the expected transition time. ",
"If the recovered clock is precisely aligned with the transition edges of the data signal (discounting intersymbol interference), the edge sample should be exactly at the voltage midpoint between logic states. ",
"However, depending on direction of transition, an edge sample offset from the midpoint means the edge sampling clock is early or late relative to the data signal. ",
"This early and late information is used to incrementally advance or retard the recovered clock to align it with the transitions in the incoming data signal.",
"\nBinary phase detectors are advantageous in that they typically use simple logic and are well suited for power-efficient digital clock recovery designs. ",
"However, designs based on these circuits are often characterized by large steady state dithering and low bandwidth, due to high-loop latency attributable to filtering of up and down binary signals and converting these signals into a VFO control signal.",
"\nBy contrast, linear phase detection techniques result in a phase-error signal proportional to the difference between an incoming data signal and a recovered clock, and these techniques therefore promise significantly lower steady state dither jitter at higher loop bandwidth. ",
"However, linear phase detection techniques often suffer from large static phase error and unreliable operation at high frequencies; they are also difficult to combine with digital filtering techniques. ",
"To elaborate, conventional linear phase detection techniques generate variable-width pulse signals that gate pull-up and pull-down of a signal line to generate a VFO control signal. ",
"Manufacturing variations, capacitive effects, and other issues make it difficult to match precisely these impedances so as to reliably avoid unintended static phase offset. ",
"In addition, as the data rates increase, it becomes correspondingly difficult to generate suitable variable-width pulses, i.e., these pulse-widths and associated processing should be of high precision and should be relatively short when compared to a unit interval (which is difficult at higher speeds). ",
"As implied earlier, processing typically requires (a) only generating clock recovery updates when there is a transition in the incoming data signal, (b) correctly correlating early or late transitions with a leading or lagging recovered clock, and (c) applying low pass filtering so as to minimize the effects of random noise. ",
"Specific filtering requirements become more complex for non-conventional signaling techniques, such 4-PAM signaling.",
"\nWhat is needed is an improved high-bandwidth clock recovery architecture that is area and power efficient and that provides reduced static phase error and dither jitter. ",
"Such an architecture would be well-suited to increasingly-small digital designs and digital designs that are power sensitive. ",
"Ideally, such an architecture would combine benefits of conventional binary phase detection and linear phase detection techniques while omitting their respective disadvantages. ",
"Further still, such an architecture ideally would accommodate non-traditional signaling techniques, such as multi-PAM (MPAM) signaling. ",
"The present invention addresses these needs and provides further, related advantages.",
"\nThe subject matter defined by the enumerated claims may be better understood by referring to the following detailed description, which should be read in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. ",
"This description of one or more particular embodiments, set out below to enable one to build and use various implementations of the technology set forth by the claims, is not intended to limit the enumerated claims, but to exemplify their application to certain methods and devices. ",
"The description set out below exemplifies (i) a clock recovery circuit that uses two-point control of a phase-locked loop (PLL), (ii) an integrated circuit having one or more such clock recovery circuits, and (iii) related methods, systems and devices. ",
"While the specific examples are presented, the principles described herein may also be applied to other methods and devices as well."

"\nAdding to the problem is the number of different fungi that may cause problems. ",
"Fungal damage can be caused by a fungus of genera such as Alternaria, Ascochyta, Botrytis, Cercospora, Colletotrichum, Diplodia, Erysiphe, Fusarium, Gaeumanomyces, Helminthosporium, Macrophomina, Nectria, Peronospora, Phoma, Phymatotrichum, Phytophthora, Plasmopara, Podosphaera, Puccinia, Pythium, Pyrenophora, Pyricularia, Rhizoctonia, Scerotium, Sclerotinia, Septoria, Thielaviopsis, Uncinula, Venturia, and Verticillium among others. ",
"Therefore, fungicidal compounds are not always effective because antifungal activity associated with a particular compound may be limited to a few species.",
"\nOne approach to inhibiting plant pathogenic activity has been to identify and isolate compounds that exhibit high levels of activity against these pathogens. ",
"Several classes of polypeptides and proteins exhibiting antifungal activity against a variety of plant pathogenic fungi have been isolated (Bowles, 1990; Brears et al., ",
"1994). ",
"The antifungal polypeptides and proteins include chitinases, cysteine-rich chitin-binding proteins, β-1,3-glucanases, permatins (including zeamatins), thionins, ribosome-inactivating proteins, and non-specific lipid transfer proteins. ",
"These proteins are believed to play important roles in plant defense against fungal infection. ",
"The use of natural protein products to control plant pathogens has been demonstrated, for example, in EPO 0 392 225.",
"\nRecently, another group of plant proteins has been found to function as defensins in combating infections by plant pathogens (PCT International Publication WO 93/05153). ",
"The plant defensins are a family of small proteins that possess potent antimicrobial and antifungal activity (for review, see Broekaert et al., ",
"1997). ",
"The plant defensins are characterized by a conserved pattern of eight cysteine residues forming what has been referred to as a cysteine-stabilized α-helix that stabilizes folding characteristics of these proteins (Kobayashi et al., ",
"1991). ",
"Multiple sequence comparisons of several defensins reveal that these proteins have eight cysteines, two glycines, an aromatic residue, and one acidic residue in common (Broekaert et al., ",
"1995). ",
"This small degree of sequence conservation suggests that the cysteine-stabilized α-helix motif provides a scaffold for accommodating a variety of antimicrobial activities. ",
"Two small cysteine-rich proteins isolated from radish seed that exhibit this conserved motif, Rs-AFP1 and Rs-AFP2, were found to inhibit the growth of many pathogenic fungi when the pure protein was added to an in vitro antifungal assay medium. ",
"Transgenic tobacco plants containing the gene encoding Rs-AFP2 protein were found to be more resistant to attack by fungi than non-transformed plants. ",
"Defensin amino acid sequence variants of the radish Rs-AFP2 were identified that exhibited improved antifungal activity (De Samblanx et al, 1997). ",
"Certain amino acid modifications to non-conserved amino acids based on the alignment of the protein with a host of other plant defensins resulted in improvement in the antifungal activity of Rs-AFP2, particularly in the presence of Ca2+. ",
"The amino acid variants all contained an arginine substitution for a naturally occurring amino acid, which increased the net positive charge on the resulting amino acid sequence variant.",
"\nProteins similar to radish seed Rs-AFP2 have been isolated from seeds of other plants (WO 93/105153; Broekaert et al., ",
"1995). ",
"All the proteins in this group share similarity in their amino acid sequence, but differ in their antifungal activities against various fungi, especially in the presence of different mono- and divalent salts. ",
"The activity of some antifungal proteins is dramatically reduced in the presence of 1 mM CaCl2 and 50 mM KCl (Terras et al., ",
"1992). ",
"The usefulness of an antifungal protein for genetically engineering plant disease resistance can be greatly influenced by the sensitivity of the antifungal activity to salt concentration, since metal ions such K+, Na+, Ca2+ and Mg2+ are required for normal physiological functions and are therefore abundantly present in plant cells. ",
"Furthermore, the small size of these proteins suggests that minor modifications to the amino acid sequence could effect dramatic changes in the biological activity of the proteins.",
"\nRecombinant DNA technology has recently led to the development of transgenic plants that can express proteins that have antimicrobial activity against certain pests. ",
"For example, methods for transforming a wide variety of different dicotyledonous plants and obtaining transgenic plants have been reported in the literature (see Gasser and Fraley, 1989; Fisk and Dandekar, 1993; Christou, 1994). ",
"Similarly, methods for producing transgenic plants among the monocotyledonous plants are also well documented. ",
"Successful transformation and plant regeneration have been achieved in asparagus (Asparagus officinalis; Bytebier et al. ",
"1987), barley (Hordeum vulgare; Wan and Lemaux, 1994), maize (Zea mays; Rhodes et al. ",

"6,121,436, and 6,316,407). ",
"Expression of AlfAFP in potato was shown to confer resistance to early dying disease caused by Verticillium in potato (Gao et al, 2000). ",
"However, plants expressing AlfAFP also show a reduction in potato tuber size. ",
"AlfAFP was unable to provide an adequate level of protection to plants infected with Fusarium head blight even though the protein exhibited in vitro efficacy against Fusarium graminearum. ",

",
"However, in cases with considerable residual thyroid tissue, even post-therapy WBS may fail to show I-131 concentration in the lungs owing to significant neck uptake.\\[[@CIT3]\\] It has been reported that the sensitivity of a chest X-ray in the detection of lung metastases (52%) is lower than that of WBS (64%) and thoracic CT (82%).\\[[@CIT4]\\] It is generally believed that the CT images provided by a SPECT-CT system are of little diagnostic value as they do not possess the image properties of a diagnostic CT.\\[[@CIT5]\\] However, while the hybrid system CT component cannot replace a CT scan of diagnostic quality, it appears to be sufficient for the anatomical localization of scintigraphic foci.\\[[@CIT6]\\] Integrated I-131 SPECT-CT imaging has an additional value in patients with thyroid cancer, for characterization of equivocal tracer uptake seen on planar imaging as well as for precise localization of malignant lesions in the neck, chest, and skeleton. ",
"This localization of I-131 uptake may have a clinical impact on patient management by influencing referral for I-131 treatment, tailoring of the administered radioiodine dose, and / or the addition of surgery or external radiation therapy when indicated.\\[[@CIT7]\\] While most previous studies have performed this procedure after a therapeutic dose of radioiodine,\\[[@CIT8]\\] the present case illustrates that hybrid SPECT-CT fusion may identify the full extent of pulmonary metastases, when combined with low-dose (diagnostic) I-131 whole body scan.",

"Abstract\n\nObjective\n\nThe objective of the study was to evaluate the ability of the noninvasive magnetic resonance techniques to monitor the scaffold-aided process of articular cartilage repair.",
"\n\nMaterials and methods\n\nDefects of 4 mm in diameter and 3 mm in depth were created in right knees of 30 adolescent white New Zealand rabbits. ",
"Fourteen rabbits were implanted with poly(lactide-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) scaffold trimmed to match the size and the shape of the defect (PLGA+ group). ",
"No procedure was applied to the remaining 16 animals (PLGA− group). ",
"Animals were sacrificed sequentially at 4, 12, and 24 weeks after the surgery and magnetic resonance T2-weighted images (400 MHz) of the dissected bone plugs at eight different echo times were taken to derive T2 relaxation time. ",
"The images and the T2 time dependencies versus the tissue depth were statistically analyzed. ",
"Histological results of bone plugs were evaluated using semiquantitative histological scales.",
"\n\nResults\n\nThe results obtained for PLGA repair tissue were evaluated versus the PLGA− group and the healthy tissue harvested from the opposite knee (reference group), and compared with histological results (hematoxylin and eosin staining). ",
"The magnetic resonance images and T2 relaxation time profiles taken 4 weeks after surgery for both the PLGA− and PLGA+ group did not reveal the tissue reconstruction. ",
"After 12 weeks of treatment T2 time dependence indicates a slight reconstruction for PLGA+ group. ",
"The T2 time dependence obtained for PLGA+ samples taken after 24 weeks of treatment resembled the one observed for the healthy cartilage, indicating tissue reconstruction in the form of fibrous cartilage. ",
"The tissue reconstruction was not observed for PLGA− samples.",
"\n\nConclusion\n\nThe study revealed correlation between magnetic resonance and histology data, indicating the potential value of using MRI and spatial variation of T2 as the noninvasive tools to evaluate the process of articular cartilage repair. ",

"These results indicate that G-CSF may be sufficient to provide a specific signal for induction of a transient proliferation in AML without induction of terminal differentiation. ",
"The cells with the highest response are clonal leukemia cells, all bearing a translocation involving the chromosome region 17q12q21 in which the G-CSF gene has been recently located."

"Clinical results of percutaneous closure of large secundum atrial septal defects in children using the Amplatzer septal occluder.",
"\nWe reviewed our experience using the Amplatzer septal occluder (AGA Medical, Golden Valley, MN, USA) to close large, secundum-type atrial septal defects (ASDs) in children. ",
"Between June 2002 and December 2005, 52 patients (mean age 13.5 +/- 8.7 years) underwent transcatheter closure of large (> or =25 mm), secundum ASDs with the use of the Amplatzer septal occluder (ASO). ",
"Groups 1 and 2 included patients with a retroaortic rim of <5 mm (n = 39) or > or =5 mm (n = 13), respectively. ",
"All procedures were performed with general anesthesia and transesophageal echocardiographic guidance except for 10 patients, which involved local anesthesia and three-dimensional transthoracic echocardiography. ",
"Successful device implantations, device sizes, approaches, complications, and closure rates were assessed. ",
"Device implantation was successful in 50 patients (96.1%), with no difference between groups (95% vs 100%, P>0.05). ",
"In 2 patients, implantation failed because of embolism or deployment failure. ",
"Device were larger in group 1 than in group 2 (29.7 +/- 4.2 vs 26.7 +/- 3.8 mm, P = 0.04). ",
"The right upper pulmonary-vein approach was more common in group 1 than in group 2 (P = 0.0001). ",
"Complications and closure rates did not differ between the groups (P > 0.05). ",
"Transcatheter closure of large, secundum ASD by using the ASO device was feasible, and complication rates were low. ",
"A deficient retroaortic rim did not preclude successful device implantation; however, a large device may be needed to close large ASD. ",
"Close long-term follow-up is necessary to determine the safety of transcatheter closure of large ASDs in children."

"Q:\n\nDo monads not guarantee the applicability of layered/non-layered monadic values to non-layered/non-monadic functions, and is this a good/bad thing?",
"\n\nI'm just trying to get monads, so bear with me if I ask a bad question, but...\nIf monads only require:\n\n(a -> M a), where M is the monadic type constructor, and\n(M a -> (a -> M b) -> M b), which is the bind operation (which I understand as mapping a monad onto a non-monadic to monadic value function)\n\n...doesn't this mean that:\n\n(M a -> a) and\n(M (M a) -> M a) are not implicitly required?",
"\n\nWon't this usually cause a problem?",
"\n\nSuppose we have a set of functions, S, which all have the type (x -> y), where x and y are arbitrary types.",
"\nNow, suppose I program using a set of monadic functions M, where their types are x -> M y.\n\nDoesn't this mean that once I turn a type into M y, I can't use any of the (x -> y) functions? ",
"Or, can I assume that I can do (M x -> (x -> y) -> (y -> M y) -> M y)?",
"\nFurthermore, don't we usually want to extract the original type when programming? ",
" When switching between something, like async a -> a or maybe a -> a... Isn't that a common operation? ",
"I can definitely see the case where somebody wants to optimize a monad out if they see it as negligible (e.g. a logging monad).",
"\nAdditionally, what about layered monads without flattening? ",
"I understand that lists can be seen as monads where restricting flattening is a clear and logical choice, but what about the hypothetical case of async (async a) monadic values where async has no flatten function? ",
"Does bind only imply one layer of \"monadic reduction\" where we can often assume that (M a -> (a -> M a) -> M a) can often be seen as (M a -> (M a -> a) -> (a -> M a) -> M a), and (M M a -> (a -> M a) -> M a or M M a) may not work? ",
"Is there a true difference between flattening and non-flattening monads?",
"\n\nA:\n\nWon't this usually cause a problem?",
"\n\nYou might say that this is \"by design\". ",
"One of the possible uses is IO; once you have a value tainted with IO, you have to \"bubble up\"; you can't hide the fact that a function is doing IO under a pure value.",
"\n\nwouldn't that mean I either have to manually convert each (a -> b) -> (a -> M b) by applying a monadic constructor somewhere?",
"\n\nThis is easier than you think because every Monad is also a Functor and an Applicative Functor:\nrandomDice :: IO Int\nrandomDice = randomRIO (1,6)\n\ncheat :: Int -> Int\ncheat = (+1)\n\nmain = do\n dice <- randomDice\n dice' <- cheat <$> randomDice\n\nHaving all of the fmap, <$>, liftA/liftM and pure/return machinery at our disposal, it makes it very simple to easily use pure functions in the monadic contexts.",
"\n\n(M (M a) -> M a) is not implicitly required\n\nThat one is false. ",

"Q:\n\nHow to subset a local macro in Stata\n\nSuppose I have a local macro containing some variable names\nlocal indep \"cat dog pig\"\n\nHow do I drop pig from the macro, if I want the macro to contain only cat and dog?",
"\n\nA:\n\nThe context is that you want to remove variable names from a string listing them. ",
"The subinstr() solution in the OP's answer works only if the text to remove occurs just once as an entire variable name, and does not occur as part of another variable name. ",

"local names : subinstr local names \"pig\" \"\", all\n\n. ",
"di \"`names'\"\ncat dog let\n\nThat is not what you want. ",
"The solution is to insist that what is removed must be a word. ",
"In Stata, words are or could be separated by spaces (other than being bound by double quotes); in the case of Stata variable names, distinct variable names are always distinct words. ",

"local names \"cat dog pig piglet\"\n\n. ",
"local names : subinstr local names \"pig\" \"\", word\n\n. ",

"But if they offend, they can be reduced to single spaces. ",
"\nSee also the functions subinstr() and subinword() for approaches similar in spirit. ",
"In some older versions of Stata there were rather strict limits on string length for such functions, which made use of the construct used above : subinstr advisable for all but very short lists. ",
"\nHere, however, is a quite different solution: \n. ",

"Field of the Invention\nThe present invention relates to wiper devices for reciprocatingly wiping, for example, the rear or front windshield or head lamps of an automobile, the sight glasses of some industrial equipments and so forth. ",
"More particularly, the invention is concerned with a wiper device having a rise-up mechanism.",
"\n2. ",
"Description of the Prior Art\nWiper devices have been known, each of which has a mechanism which, when the wiper switch is turned off, lowers the wiper blades to a position below the lower end of their wiping stroke. ",
"When the wiper switch is turned on again, this mechanism operates to raise the blades up to the operating position before wiping is commenced. ",
"This mechanism, therefore, is generally referred to as a \"rise-up mechanism\". ",
"Usually, this rise-up mechanism is used in a concealed-type automotive wiper device which is adapted to conceal the wiper blades below the bonnet when the wiper device is not used. ",
"The rise-up mechanism is used also in a wiper device for a power-driven automotive rear windshield adapted to be raised and lowered by remote control. ",
"Namely, in order to permit a smooth upward and downward movement of the power-driven rear windshield, the rise-up mechanism usually keeps the wiper blades away from the rear windshield and puts them into contact with the rear windshield only when wiping becomes necessary. ",
"The rise-up mechanism is used also in various equipments having power-driven windows to keep the wiper blades below or above the area to be wiped so as not to hinder the movement of the window panels. ",
"Thus, the term \"rise-up mechanism\" should be interpreted to also include a mechanism which keeps the wiper blades at a position above the upper end of the wiping stroke, when the blades are not in operation.",
"\nAn example of a rise-up mechanism is shown in the specification of U.S. Pat. ",
"No. ",
"3,253,206. ",
"This mechanism has a crank arm connected to an output shaft driven by a wiper motor through a worm gear having a center offset from the axis of the output shaft, so that a crank pin provided on the crank shaft moves along a non-circular path so as to move, when the wiper switch is turned off, the wiper blades to a position out of the area wiped by the wiper blades during the wiping operation. ",
"This rise-up mechanism, however, requires a complicated construction including a special eccentric blade driving mechanism and a solenoid-actuated clutch for controlling the switch.",
"\nUnder this circumstance, there is an increasing demand for a wiper device having a rise-up mechanism of a simple construction."

"\n\n\n\nMy verdict: 23 is so damn gorgeous. ",
"It's similar to Fyrinnae's Rapunzel Had Extensions, but where that leans gold on me, 23 truly is a lot rosier with a hint of orange. ",
"It is a lovely, neutral all over shade for lazy days, but it's also a great base colour for crazier looks. ",
"The apparent patchiness is due to the veins on my wrist, since it applies extremely smoothly and evenly.",

"It's part of the Catssic Literature collection, which is an absolute must-have for someone like me. ",
"I mean, I'm a lit student and I have a cat tattoo (and two darling kitties). ",
"Match made in heaven. ",
"Catticus Finch is a true chameleon: it ranges from a slightly purple-y grey to bright lavender with an almost pink shift, depending on how you apply it. ",
"It needs PE to truly have that gorgeous shift, but using it over normal primer makes a perfectly office-safe neutral. ",
"Then again, even the full-on purple with copper shift is muted enough for work, since it is still quite light.",
"\n\nHello Waffle's description: \"Green duochrome over a periwinkle sky blue with flecks of starry gold.\"",
"\n\n\n\nMy verdict: To this day, The Great Catsby is still one of the only blues I own and actually wear. ",
"It is bright, it is fun, it is absolutely gorgeous! ",
"It is much brighter than the swatches on the HW site make it appear to be, but the green shift is almost impossible to photograph. ",
"It actually looks more green than blue on me in natural daylight. ",
"It really is quite daring, but it also makes for a kick-ass liner if you're not quite brave enough to use it on your lid. ",
"It still amazes me how well this shade captures the feel of that one scene in the Great Gatsby.",
"\n\nHello Waffle's description: I didn't actually write these down when they were available, oops.",

"As you might know from my previous posts, I love all things gold and this truly is very, very gold. ",
"It is cooler than Box Cat, ranging from olive to yellow gold depending on the lighting. ",
"It isn't anything you haven't seen before, though, so don't fret if you aren't able to pick it up when Christine relists the extra stock. ",
"Oh and excuse the wonky swatch: I got attacked by some melting snow the second I stepped outside to take these pictures.",

"\n\n\n\nMy verdict: Pepper! ",
"might just be the single most unique shadow I own and I'm still a little undecided whether or not that's a good thing. ",
"The base is a greyish green that appears very pale (and slightly chalky) when you apply too much but blends out to a more golden green, while the red glitters are absolutely huge. ",
"I love the colour in my swatches, but I find it quite hard to apply evenly and it might just be a little too unique for me. ",
"I really need to play with it a little more and see if I can make it work.",
"\n\nHello Waffle's description: \"Copper with gold shimmer.\"",
"\n\n\n\nMy verdict:I'd call this orange instead of copper, but that's really just semantics. ",
"It's quite bright, with a dark base that shows itself in unnatural lighting. ",
"I love oranges (okay, okay, copper) so this shade is right up my alley. ",
"The shimmer is quite subtle, as opposed to some of the more glittery Hello Waffle shades.",
"\n\nHello Waffle's description: \"Golden silver shimmer.\"",
"\n\n\n\nMy verdict: I have no idea what to call this one. ",
"It looks grey in the bag, but shifts between a dark silver and a coppery goldish brown when applied. ",
"I didn't actually expect to like it much when I saw the sample baggy, but it truly transforms into something incredibly interesting and versatile on my skin. ",
"It's a lovely base colour but it's also perfect for a one shade look since it changes so much depending on lighting and application.",
"\n\nHello Waffle's description: \"Shimmery orange peach that leans copper with a gold undertone.\"",
"\n\n\n\nMy verdict: This shade is mad gorgeous. ",
"Pun intended. ",
"It is part of the seasonal Painted Flowers collection, so unfortunately this one is unavailable right now, but I just had to include it. ",
"It is described as a orange peach, but instead of a copper undertone, I seem to get a shift that is much more of a soft pink. ",
"It's hard to properly photograph it. ",
"It is very sparkly, but the colour is muted enough that it is still very wearable. ",
"I really need to depot this one and use it one more often.",
"\n\nWhoops. ",
"I swatched these the day after Christmas, but then life happened and I forgot to edit and post them. ",
"Chrismas itself was pretty much just one big food coma, followed by both my parents and myself falling ill with the flu. ",
"Fun times. ",
"It did help us balance out all the extra calories, but not quite voluntarily. ",
"The day after Christmas also brought us at least 10cm of snow, which turned to ice within a day and washed away with the rain a couple of days later. ",
"The woes of living in the Netherlands.2015 so far has been a bit of a blur. ",
"Time's been passing quickly, but it doesn't really feel like it has truly started yet. ",
"Lectures are done (no more Groningen! ",
"no more spending 16 hours a week on the train!) ",
"so I've been at my parents' for the past couple of weeks, only going to Utrecht to meet up with a friend. ",
"The plan was to work out a lot, but my stomach's been playing up again so I mostly just cuddled with Luna while working on my many deadlines. ",
"None of my final assignments are very taxing but they still need to be done, so I've been slowly but surely getting them done. ",

"Ethical issues in the introduction of case management for elderly people.",
"\nAs case management is under development in France for elderly people, this study sets out to identify and analyse key situations responsible for ethical dilemmas for French case managers. ",
"We based our study on the analyses of individual interviews made with case managers and focus-group discussions, bringing together all case managers working in local organisations running for at least a year. ",
"We identified three situations giving rise to ethical dilemmas: in the order of importance, the refusals of care, the practicalities of collecting and sharing personal data and the allocation of resources. ",
"These three situations can lead to conflict between the principle of beneficence and those of respect for autonomy, non-maleficence and justice. ",
"We describe here how French case managers practically deal with these situations."

"Lately I’ve been listening to episodes of the podcast Stuff You Missed in History Class. ",
"Earlier this week I listened to an episode on the architect Antoni Gaudi (shown in his younger years above), who is best known for buildings like Casa Milà, and the yet-unfinished church La Sagrada Familia. ",
"In the latter part of the podcast, I was surprised to hear about the circumstances surrounding Gaudi’s death. ",
"As Gaudi became older in age, he began to care less about his personal appearance and looked rather disheveled, albeit that he devoted care and attention to his work project at La Sagrada Familia. (",
"Gaudi also appears to have been camera-shy during his later years, because I couldn’t find any photographs of him in such a disheveled state!).",
"\n\nAfter leaving the La Sagrada Familia work site on June 7, 1926, Gaudi was struck by a tram. ",
"Due to his disheveled appearance, people at the scene did not recognize the famous architect and the taxi drivers refused to drive a vagabond to the hospital. (",
"The taxi drivers were subsequently fined.) ",
"Since Gaudi was not immediately helped (and also was ultimately taken to a pauper’s hospital), by the time he was found by his friends he was in very poor condition. ",
"He died three days after the accident, on June 10, 1926. ",
"His funeral was a very large affair in the city of Barcelona, and he was buried in the crypt of La Sagrada Familia.",
"\n\nIf Gaudi had not been mistaken for a vagabond, perhaps he could have received better medical attention and his life would have been spared! ",
"What a tragedy!",
"\n\nThis story made me think about other instances in which artists have been described as unkempt or disheveled in their appearance, including those Renaissance artists written about by Vasari. ",
"I realize that by writing this post I am fostering the “artist-genius” construct in a way (in the sense that these artists are creative nonconformists who care more about the appearance of their art than their own appearance), but it still is interesting to consider. ",
"Here are a few particular examples that I wanted to highlight:\n\nParmigianino: Vasari writes that Parmigianino’s obsession with alchemy affected the artist’s personal appearance, “changing [him] from a dainty and gentle person into an almost savage man with long and unkempt beard and locks, a creature quite different from his other self.”",
"\n\nVasari writes that Gherardi was very unconcerned about his personal appearance, who would wear his cloak inside out or two different types of shoes. ",
"When Duke Cosimo de Medici questioned Gherardi on his inside-out cloak, Gherardi, responded, “…but let your Excellency look at what I paint and not my manner of dressing.",
"”2 The Duke responded by sending Gherardi a reversible cloak, so the cloak could never be inside-out!",
"\n\nPerhaps given Van Gogh’s emotional health issues, it is unsurprising that this artist is described as unkempt. ",
"However, I was interested to learn that Van Gogh seemed to deliberately dress in an unkempt fashion. ",
"I was about to write that is seems contradictory for one to consciously try to appear unkempt, but upon second thought, it seems like a lot of fashion trends strive for just that effect!",
"\n\nMoritz Nahr, Gustav Klimt in front of the entrance to his studio at Josefstädter Strasse 21, 1912.",
"\n\nGustave Klimt is described as having a long, disheveled beard. ",
"It seems fairly groomed in the photograph above, but I wanted to draw attention to the floor-length smock that Klimt would typically wear when he was painting in his studio (see above). ",
"Perhaps Klimt was not as disheveled and unkempt as some of other artists mentioned here, but his mode of dress was a little bizarre, to say the least (especially since he typically did not wear anything else underneath the smock!). ",
"Oddly, he posed for many photographs dressed in this smock, including one of him in a boat!.",
"\n\nWhat other artists do you know of that are described as unkempt or disheveled in their appearance?",
"\n\nEditor’s note: I was recently contacted by Sophie Jackson, a gaming journalist and writer. ",
"Sophie wrote an article which featured a several paintings with depictions of card games. ",
"I had never seen some of these paintings before, which so it was fun to discover them through Sophie’s article. ",
"Although I rarely feature guest posts from outsiders, I feel like this article fits well with my blog (I’m reminded of when I set out on a quest to find depictions of laundresses), and I’m happy to feature Sophie’s post here.",
"\n\nArtistic Depictions of Card Games between 1880 and 1980\n\nby Sophie Jackson\n\nFrom Caravaggio to Picasso, Boulogne to Cézanne, the depiction of card games in major works of art has become an increasingly popular subject of study amongst critics. ",
"Many have focused on how the controversial but enduring topic of gambling and its place in society has, as with all major social issues, been examined by artists in various ways throughout the centuries. ",
"These artworks offer us unique insight into the spread of specific games, the changing manner in which they’re played and – in the case of games such as poker – the legal history. ",
"Inspired by Francesco Esposito’s original article, this piece seeks to comment on individual artistic depictions of card games over a time period of one hundred years, starting with Gustave Caillebotte’s ‘Game of Bezique’ from 1880.",
"\n\nGustave Caillebotte, “Game of Bezique,” 1880\n\nBorn into a wealthy family, Caillebotte was brought up in Paris and pursued a career in painting after returning home from the Franco-Prussian war. ",
"His art typically depicted the intimate, every-day ongoings you might find in a 19th century upper-class household.1 Caillebotte’s subjects were usually engaged in some leisurely activity, whether it be piano playing, sewing or high tea. ",
"Bezique was a popular card game in Paris during the latter half of the 1800s, deriving from its earlier variant, ‘Piquet.’ ",
"In Caillebotte’s Game of Bezique, a group of men are crowded around a card table in observation of the trick-taking game being played between the younger and older gentlemen.",
"\n\nCaillebotte is particularly famed for his ability to portray a perspective of depth in his paintings, a quality especially prominent in his paintings of balcony and window views. ",
"Though not as notable in Game of Bezique, the man seated on the sofa in the distance certainly contributes a depth perspective to the painting, as he seems far removed from the action and somewhat generally out of place. ",
"Perhaps he does not know how to play, or maybe there is a more metaphorical purpose to his inclusion. ",
"Perhaps his presence symbolises a depressive state which renders him incapable of enjoying social and trivial activities such as a card game amongst friends.",
"\n\nJohn George Brown, “Bluffing,” 1885\n\nThough Brown had himself endured the hardships of an impoverished childhood, the street urchins depicted in his paintings were always cheery and healthy-looking. ",
"Paintings of anything too grim or sordid would have been unpopular with the upperclass, to which the majority of Brown’s commissioners belonged. ",
"In this particular painting we see two poor children, with ripped clothes and dirty feet, deeply immersed in a card game. ",
"The title Bluffing might suggest the game is some variation of poker; however the boys could also be playing ‘cheat.’ ",
"The mischievous and smug look on the boy to the left indicates he is the one ‘bluffing,’ whilst the other boy frowns with frustration as he looks down upon his cards. ",
"The pale and plain background focuses our eyes on the boys and their cards – indeed, the boys themselves seem totally absorbed by the game. ",
"Brown was known to have said he painted underprivileged boys because he, too, “was once a poor lad like them.",
"”2 A pack of cards would have offered plenty of pastime for poor children without many toys. ",
"Perhaps Brown had fond childhood memories of playing cards on the streets.",
"\n\nAlbert Beck Wenzell, “A Showdown,” 1895\n\nWenzell’s paintings typically depicted scenes of wealth and optimism, reflecting the Belle Epoque age in which he lived. ",
"His subjects and setting were fantastically exaggerated with opulent detail and radiant colours, accurately capturing the wave of content that moved across the West at that time. ",
"Wenzell had himself grown up in a wealthy environment and been educated in Paris and Munich. ",
"Painting what he knew, Wenzell portrayed the luxurious and somewhat hedonistic lifestyle of the era’s upperclass. ",
"The artist was usually commissioned by rich American families who wanted artwork that depicted casual yet glamorous scenes. ",
"Wenzell therefore focused on beautiful, fashionably clad women interacting with older gentlemen in a familiar home setting.3 In A Showdown, however, Wenzell portrays only men, chewing cigars and dressed in business suits, engaged in what appears to he be the later stages of a poker game. ",
"Special attention should be given to the body language of all players. ",
"It seems almost as if the men are attempting to adopt a relaxed pose to ease the tension, but end up looking especially rigid as a result. ",
"The gentlemen to the far right looks particularly distressed, whilst the gentlemen to the left is slouching so far back in his chair that he looks uncomfortable. ",
"The painting’s title A Showdown confirms the confrontational and competitive nature of the scene. ",
"In poker, ‘showdown’ is the term used to describe the requirement for final players to show their hands at the end of the game. ",
"Clearly, a dramatic moment is about to unfold.",
"\n\nWilliam Holbrook Beard, ‘The Poker Game’, 1887\n\nDogs aren’t the only animals to have been painted at the card table. ",
"American painter Beard had a fascination with nature and famously portrayed wild animals in a disturbingly humanistic manner.4The Poker Game is particularly unsettling in its depiction of chimps in Renaissance or Baroque clothing, gathered around a table. ",
"Most of the chimps are deeply concentrated on the card game at stake, though the servant and monk merely observe. ",
"Another chimp seems to be advising one of the players, whose four cards in hand, along with a fifth being passed to him, would indicate they are playing a five-card draw. ",
"The dark, stone setting and candlelight seems to imply the scene takes place in a castle room. ",
"Perhaps the non-participating chimp to the far left is the king, watching his subjects play cards and drink wine.",
"\n\nNorman Rockwell, “The Bid,” 1948\n\nRockwell’s influential art has undoubtedly become symbolic of American culture. ",
"Characterised by sunny colours and cheerful scenes, his illustrations depict sportsmen, industrial workers and the atomic family – all of whom in some way represented the American Dream. ",
"During the war, his paintings instilled a sense of righteousness and triumph, a sentiment with which the American government was keen to inspire people when they published Rockwell’s art as motivational posters. ",
"In The Bid, Rockwell depicts a casual and pleasant card game between friends in post-war America. ",
"The sandy floor, bright shades and sleeveless shirts of the women suggests the subjects are playing during the summer. ",
"Contrasting businessmen with a beach-like setting, Rockwell blends business with pleasure – reflective of the upper class lifestyle in late ’40s America. ",
"The mismatch of chairs is a charming detail, as it implies the seating was arranged hurriedly and without care, as if the card game was a spur-of-the-moment idea. ",
"Along with good company and good weather, the subjects in this postcard-esque painting are said to be enjoying a game of ‘Bridge.’",
"\n\nLeRoy Neiman, “Stud Poker,” 1980\n\nThe very distinctive style of LeRoy Neiman can be characterized by his brisk brush strokes and hazy colouring, a method which seemed to capture the motion of his subjects and atmosphere of his setting. ",
"There are few places as bright and bustling as a casino, which perhaps explains with Neiman chose Vegas as the setting for so many of his artworks. ",
"Titled simply Stud Poker, this lively depiction of players around a card table is curiously reminiscent of Monet’s gardens. ",
"Indeed, the colourful chips on the green card table might as well be lillies in a pond. ",
"When looking at the poker players in closer detail, one can start to differentiate the features of each character, most of whom appear to be formally-dressed men – with the exception of a red-headed woman. ",
"Vibrant, busy and modern; the impressionistic and expressionist Stud Poker is a perfect example of Neiman’s eccentric style.",
"\n\nMost fascinating, when comparing the depiction of card games in art, is a consideration of how these games can be said to transcend social class. ",
"Not only have card games been infallibly popular over the past centuries, but they have always appealed equally to peasants as they have to kings. ",
"Another aspect worth studying is how the type of card game depicted in art changes depending upon era and, at times, the nationality of the painter. ",
"One should also note how, in the last two 20th century paintings sampled above, there are women participating in the games. ",
"This marks a shift in social attitudes, reflecting the move from ‘gentlemen’s poker nights’ toward a tendency of more gender-inclusive games. ",
"The final facet worth considering is how the depiction of gambling in art has often hinted toward its legal status during the artist’s era. ",
"Whilst many popular works of art have portrayed betting activities taking place in dark back rooms, between shifty and drunken characters, paintings such as Neiman’s Stud Poker shows the incorporation of gambling into mainstream culture. ",
"In short, the depiction of card games, as seen in works of art, can offer us insight into the unique and fascinating role these social yet competitive games play in our society.",
"\n\nI’ve been thinking about Wayne Thiebaud’s paintings today, mostly because I have eaten way too many chocolate doughnuts over the past few days. ",
"Thiebaud doesn’t have as many paintings of doughnuts as he does of cakes and other sweets, but he does have a few (such as the one shown above, or this one of doughnuts and cupcakes).",
"\n\nThe thing that I love most about Thiebaud’s paintings of desserts is his handling of the paint itself. ",
"Thiebaud applies the paint thickly; it almost feels like he’s painting with frosting itself (see detail below). ",
"The desserts have a true sense of tactility, which I think makes them seem even more desirable as tasty treats! (",
"I guess it’s a good thing that Cookie Monster didn’t see a Thiebaud painting in when he visited art museums in New York earlier this year, or he would have tried to eat it!)",
"\n\nThinking about Wayne Thiebaud has also reminded me of Jim Gaffigan’s standup comedy, which often is about his love of delicious-yet-unhealthy food. ",
"Gaffigan must not have been aware of Thiebaud’s art before he made his joke about artists and still life paintings. ",
"This is what Gaffigan says in his show Obsessedabout fruit (a healthy type of food that he dislikes!):",
"\n\n“…we haven’t wanted [to eat] fruit for hundreds of years. ",
"That’s why there’s so many paintings in museums of just bowls of fruit. ",
"Because you could start painting a bowl of fruit, you could leave for a couple of days, come back, and no one would have touched the bowl of fruit. ",
"But if you’re painting a doughnut? ",
"You better finish it up in the first sitting! ",
"You can’t even take a bathroom break – ‘Hey, what happened to my doughnut?’ ",
"Your friends are [like], ‘Oh, some fat guy came in here! ",
"Anyway, I’m going to get some milk and take a nap.’ ",
"That’s why there’s no doughnut art. ",
"It’s sad, really. ",
"When’s the last time you saw a painting of a doughnut?” (",
"Audio clip of Obsessed found HERE, starting at 2:34).",
"\n\nTo be fair though, it’s good to acknowledge that Wayne Thiebaud paints his doughnuts and cakes “from his imagination and from long-ago memories of bakeries and diners.",
"”1 So, maybe Thiebaud just likes to eat doughnuts and cakes too, and he doesn’t have the patience to study them! ",
"Thiebaud does, however, also paint from life: he paints human figures (such as his wife Betty Jean, who is shown on the left in Two Kneeling Figures), and also sketches California landscapes outdoors and then returns to his studio to paint.",
"\n\nAnyhow, do you know of other images of doughnuts, cakes or other treats in art, besides those by Thiebaud? ",
"I thought of a few:\n\nFor the past few months, I have been listening to podcasts of A History of the World in 100 Objects while I exercise. ",
"The clips are engaging and interesting, and they provide some distraction for me while I run. ",
"I’ve learned and pondered a lot of things in the process, and I wanted to write down a few snippets of things that have stood out of me in the various episodes I have heard.",
"\n\nThe Standard of Ur:I first learned about the Standard of Ur when I was in high school, I think. ",
"But I’ve never thought much about the size of this object. ",
"Neil MacGregor describes this as “the size of a small briefcase” which looks “almost like a giant bar of Toblerone.",
"”1\n\nI’ve never realized that this famous object was so small! ",
"Since it has the nickname of a “standard,” I just assumed that it was a larger size. ",
"I also was interested to learn that the inlaid stone and shell come from various locations: Afghanistan (lapis lazuli), India (red marble), and shell (the Gulf).2 These various mediums indicate that the Sumerians had an extensive trade network.",
"\n\nIf you are interested in learning more about the Standard of Ur and theories surrounding its original function, see HERE.",
"\n\nHead of Augustus: I enjoyed learning about this head because it reminded me of discussions that I hold with my students about how ancient art was/is mutilated and stolen in times of war. ",
"This statue is no different. ",
"It once was part of a complete statue that was on the border of modern Egypt and Sudan. ",
"However, an army from the Sudanese kingdom of Meroë invaded this area in 25 BC (led by “the fierce one-eyed queen Candace”), and this army took the statue back to Meroë.3 The head was buried beneath a temple that was dedicated to this particular Sudanese victory, which meant that every person walking up the stairs to the temple would insult the emperor by stepping on his head.4 Even today, sand of the African desert is visible on the sculpture.",
"\n\nThe David Vases: I begin listening to this episode without any prior knowledge of these vases, so I was surprised to learn that these were from China (I assumed when reading the episode title that the vases had some nude figure which depicted the biblical David, à la Michelangelo or Donatello.) ",
"Nope! ",
"These Chinese vases are named after their most famous owner, Sir Percival David.",
"\n\nThe thing that is most interesting to me is that, since these vases are dated 13 May 1351, we know that this level of fine quality blue-and-white porcelain predates the Ming dynasty (the dynasty from 1358-1644, which is typically associated with fine blue and white porcelain). ",
"In fact, we also know that the blue and white tradition is not Chinese in origin, but Middle Eastern! ",
"Neil MacGregor explains how Chinese potters used Iranian blue pigment cobalt (which was known in China as huihui qing – “Muslim blue”).5 Interestingly, Chinese artists even used Iranian blue pigment for exports sent to the Middle East, to meet the Iranian demand for blue and white ware after the Mongol invasion destroyed pottery industries in the area.6 It’s interesting to me that Iranian blue traveled to China, only to travel back to its area of origin as export pottery decoration.",
"\n\nSainte-Chapelle, Paris, completed 1248. ",
"Image courtesy Wikipedia.",
"\n\nSainte-Chapelle and the Crown of Thorns:This chapel was not featured in the podcast specifically, but it was discussed at length in the episode for the Holy Thorn Reliquary. ",
"Sainte-Chapelle is a church that was built basically to be a reliquary, to house the Crown of Thorns. ",
"Surprisingly, the Crown of Thorns cost more than three times the amount paid to build Sainte-Chapelle!7 Today the Crown of Thorns is housed in Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris; it was moved there by Napoleon in the 19th century.",
"\n\nI was particularly intrigued by the discussion of the Crown of Thorns coming to Paris, and I wanted to learn more on my own. ",
"Louis IX dressed in a simple tunic (without royal robes) and walked through the streets barefoot while he carried the relic. ",
"The barefoot king is depicted in the Relics of the Passion window in Sainte-Chapelle. ",
"I also learned through my own research that the Crown of Thorns, while on its way to Paris, was housed in a cathedral in Sens overnight. ",
"This moment was honored in a window from Tours, which depicts Louis IX holding the thorns on a chalice.",
"\n\nThe other thing I found interesting about the arrival of the Crown of Thorns is that this elevated the status of France among the Christian countries of Europe. “",
"When the crown arrived, it was described as being on deposit with the king of France until the Day of Judgment, when Christ would return to collect it and the kingdom of France would become the kingdom of heaven.",
"”8\n\nAre there any episodes/chapters from A Short History of the World in 100 Objects that you particularly enjoy? ",
"Please share!",

"MacGregor writes that The Crown of Thorns was “probably the most valuable thing in Europe at the time.”",
"\n\nThis morning, in preparation for class, I was looking at a digital copy of the Book of Kells. ",
"I previously have written about how I think it is important to consider the exuberant decoration of the Chi-Rho-Iota page (known as the “Incarnation” page, folio 34r) in relation to the accompanying joyful text, which announces the birth of Christ. ",
"As I was looking at the digital copy of the book further, it struck me how this design is significant in relation to the context of the Book of Kells itself, since the Chi-Rho-Iota page is directly preceded by a carpet page (see above).",
"\n\nCarpet pages (sometimes called “cross-carpet pages”) are illuminated manuscripts which have a design that is generally in the shape of a rectangle (filling the outline of the page itself), with interlace and decorative geometric forms woven within the general rectangular form. ",
"Such pages appear in Christian, Islamic, and Jewish illuminated manuscripts. ",
"Usually, there is hardly any text on these pages, or no text at all. ",
"The designs of these manuscripts usually are quite symmetrical and typically have a strong vertical axis (and sometimes horizontal axes as well, which often forms the shape of a cross). ",
"There are several possible origins for this type of carpet design, but I am drawn to the idea that these “carpets” are reminiscent of Islamic prayer rugs, for I think they may have also had a similar function: these carpets can serve as an aid to meditation in the sense that they alert the reader that the subsequent Gospel text is important, and the reader should mentally prepare before looking at the following pages within the book or codex.1\n\nTo see the relationship between carpet pages and other pages in the text, consider how the carpet page from the Book of Matthew in the Lindisfarne Gospels precedes the incipit page (see image of these two pages HERE). ",
"This is a really complex and gorgeous carpet page (see below), which includes snake-like creatures whose mouths clamp down on their own writhing bodies (see this image detail).",
"\n\nLindisfarne Gospels, Carpet Page for Book of John, folio 210v, early 8th century\n\nLindisfarne, Carpet Page, Book of Mark, folio 94v, early 8th century\n\nDo you have any favorite carpet pages? ",
"If you know of any other connections between carpet pages and Islamic prayer rugs, please share! ",
"I did find an abstract for a lecture that explored the possibility of how illuminated Islamic manuscripts may have factored into the production of physical carpets themselves, although these historical connections are still unclear.",
"\n\nAbout\n\nThis blog focuses on making Western art history accessible and interesting to all types of audiences: art historians, students, and anyone else who is curious about art. ",

"PIA Press ReleaseMonday, January 02, 2012\n\nISABELA CITY, Basilan, Jan 2 (PIA) – The Office of the Presidential Adviser on the Peace Process (OPAPP) announced that the national government has recently signed a memorandum of agreement with key provinces under the Autonomous region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) to implement PAMANA or Payapa at Masaganang Pamayanan program (Peaceful and Resilient Communities).",
"\n\nThe agreements (MOA) with the local government units of Maguindanao, Lanao del Sur, Tawi-Tawi, Basilan and Sulu was formalized, Friday (December 30, 2011), their partnership with the national government to implement PAMANA.",
"\n\n“The MOA signing for PAMANA projects in peace and development communities of MNLF is good news in this season of hope; it is a good way to end the year and start 2012 where implementation of the projects will start right away,” Deles pointed out in her speech.",
"\n\nShe said that the 1996 FPA ushered in the constitution of PDCs, one of the mechanisms for the rehabilitation of the rebels and communities, providing them with new opportunities to find peaceful means of livelihood and other social and economic benefits.",
"\n\nAlthough PAMANA is not part of the implementation of the peace pact, it still supports the PDCs as the government’s direct action to further spur the economic activities of the people in MNLF areas.",
"\n\nOPAPP said the agreements provide for funds that will be used for projects in Peace and Development Communities or PDCs of the Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF) in the ARMM.",
"\n\nAs part of the President Aquino III administration’s affirmative action agenda for Muslim Mindanao, a budget of Php718-M was earmarked under PAMANA to benefit MNLF members in communities formerly known as MNLF bases that were transformed into Peace and Development Communities during the implementation of the 1996 GPH-MNLF Final Peace Agreement. ",
"As with regular PAMANA projects, the PAMANA-PDC projects will be implemented through partnership agreements with provincial government units.",
"\n\nFor this endeavor, OPAPP has engaged the Federation of United Mindanawan Bangsamoro Women Multi-Purpose Cooperative (FUMBWMPC) to ensure that beneficiary communities are prepared for the entry of PAMANA. ",
"FUMBWMPC likewise acts as the third-party monitor for the transparent and accountable implementation of the projects in PDCs.",
"\n\nPAMANA, which is the government’s program and framework for peace and development, aims to reduce poverty, improve governance and empower communities in situations of conflict.",
"\n\nMeanwhile, the ARMM provincial governors expressed their gratitude to the national government.",
"\n\n“I’m glad that our provincial local government is part of the implementation of the PAMANA projects,” Tawi-Tawi governor Sahali said.",
"\n\nParallel to this, Akbar lauded President Benigno Aquino III in giving priority to peace and development projects in the province where “different elements are situated.”",
"\n\nMoreover, Sulu Gov. Tan conveyed appreciation to local governments and stakeholders for their active participation in peace building. “",
"We are hopeful for genuine peace because the government shows dedication and seriousness in peace efforts.”",
"\n\nAdiong said that the present administration shows and undertakes efforts that “the peace and development needs of Muslim citizens in the country especially in the south are given attention by the national government.”",
"\n\nOn the other hand, Utto related that the signing of the MOA means more peace and development efforts in ARMM communities and signals that the work for just and lasting peace will be successful."

"Q:\n\nCan a Condition be neither Necessary nor Sufficient?",
"\n\nI've consulted the four introductory logic textbooks below, and none moot the case of an un-necessary and in-sufficient condition. ",

"\nNicholas J.J. Smith, Logic: The Laws of Truth (2012). ",
"p 181.",
"\n\n “P is a sufficient condition for Q” means that having the property P is\nenough for something to have the property Q; that is, if something is P,\nthen it is Q. So we regard this statement as meaning the same thing as “all\nPs are Qs,” and we translate it as $∀x(Px →Qx)$. For example, “weighing\nmore than a ton is sufficient for being heavy” says the same as “anything that\nweighs more than a ton is heavy.” “",
"P is a necessary condition forQ” means that\nsomething cannot possess the property Q if it does not possess the property\nP—in other words, something possesses the property Q only if it possesses\nthe property P. So we regard this statement as meaning the same thing as\n“all Qs are Ps,” and we translate it as $∀x(Qx →Px)$. For example, “weighing\nmore than a pound is necessary for being heavy” says the same as “only things\nthat weigh more than a pound are heavy” and as “anything that is heavy\nweighs more than a pound.” ",
"Thus, “P is a necessary and sufficient condition\nfor Q” says the same thing as “all Ps and only Ps are Qs,” and translates as\n$∀x(Px →Qx) ∧ ∀x(Qx →Px)$, or equivalently $∀x(Px ↔Qx)$.\n\nCopi, Cohen, Rodych. ",
"Introduction to Logic (2019 15 ed). ",
"p 282.",
"\n\nThe notions of necessary and suffi cient conditions provide other formulations of\nconditional statements. ",
"For any specifi ed event, many circumstances are necessary for it\nto occur. ",
"Thus, for a normal car to run, it is necessary that there be fuel in its tank, that\nits spark plugs be properly adjusted, that its oil pump be working, and so on. ",
"So if the\nevent occurs, every one of the conditions necessary for its occurrence must have been\nfulfilled. ",
"Hence to say\n\nThat there is fuel in its tank is a necessary condition for the car to run.",
"\n\np 283.",
"\n\ncan equally well be stated as\n\nThe car runs only if there is fuel in its tank.",
"\n\nwhich is another way of saying that\n\nIf the car runs then there is fuel in its tank.",
"\n\nAny of these is symbolized as $R \\supset F$ . ",
"Usually “ q is a necessary condition for p” is symbolized as $p \\supset q$. Likewise, “ p only if q ” is also symbolized as $p \\supset q$.\n For a specified situation there may be many alternative circumstances, any one of which is sufficient to produce that situation. ",
"For a purse to contain more than a dollar,\nfor example, it is sufficient for it to contain five quarters, or eleven dimes, or twenty-one\nnickels, and so on. ",
"If any one of these circumstances obtains, the specified situation will be\nrealized. ",
"Hence, to say “That the purse contains five quarters is a sufficient condition for it\nto contain more than a dollar” is to say “If the purse contains five quarters then it contains\nmore than a dollar.” ",
"In general, “ p is a sufficient condition for q ” is symbolized as $p \\supset q$.\n\nLepore, Cumming. ",

"\n\nI couldn't find anything relevant in Harry Gensler's Introduction to Logic (2017 3 ed).",
"\n\nA:\n\nGiven that $(P\\rightarrow Q)\\lor (Q\\rightarrow P)$ is a tautology (it's the same as (¬∨)∨(¬∨)), it is impossible for a statement to be both not necessary and not sufficient under the definitions given by Copi, Cohen and Rodych.",
"\n\nHowever, if we use the definition given by Nicholas J.J. Smith which involves quantification, it is possible for a statement to both be not necessary and not sufficient.",
"\nConsider $\\forall x(Px\\rightarrow Qx)\\lor\\forall x(Qx\\rightarrow Px)$ in a model with a domain consisting of two objects $\\{a,b\\}$, and interpretation $Pa=1,Qa=0,Qb=1,Pb=0$. This means that neither of $\\forall x(Px\\rightarrow Qx)$ or $\\forall x(Qx\\rightarrow Px)$ are true.",
"\nA worded example of this would be the following: An odd number is neither a necessary nor sufficient condition for that same number to be even.",

"\n\n\"I would put Ted Cruz on that list. ",
"I would suggest that President Trump look within the Senate,\" Graham said when asked who Trump should nominate for the court's current vacancy. \"",
"There is some talent there. ",
"There is no stronger constitutional conservative than Ted Cruz.\"",
"\n\nGraham, who ran against Trump and Cruz in the Republican presidential primary, had supportive words Friday for the president-elect that he had vocally criticized throughout the presidential campaign, and who he did not vote for. ",
"Graham voted for independent presidential candidate Evan McMullin over Trump on election day.",
"\n\n\"He is my president,\" Graham said of Trump at a Veteran's Day celebration at Greenville Memorial Hospital.",
"\n\nGraham expressed hope that Trump would begin his administration by pursuing legislation to repair infrastructure, which he described as an issue with bipartisan appeal. ",
"That same issue was at the forefront of debate in the South Carolina Statehouse during this year's session.",
"\n\n\"I believe we need to rebuild our roads and bridges. ",
"Focus on something that Republicans and Democrats can agree upon,\" Graham said. \"",
"Enact your agenda, but if you can start out with putting points on the board, bringing us together -- we’re going to repeal and replace Obamacare, but that comes later in the year.",
"\n\n\"The very best thing President Trump can do for us is do something that unites the country, unites Republicans and Democrats. ",
"Then we’ll get to fighting each other, which is part of democracy. ",
"It’s OK to disagree, but there’s so many things we agree upon.\"",
"\n\nSouth Carolina's senior senator also expressed hope that Trump would increase the size of the military, saying it is \"insane\" that the U.S. armed forces are at their smallest level since World War II.",
"\n\n\"As long as there's one Marine with a rifle, the country will be safe. ",
"Looking at our budget, we might be down to one Marine,\" Graham joked while addressing a crowd of veterans, military families and hospital employees at the event.",
"\n\nGraham, a retired Air Force colonel, also called for reform to the Department of Veteran's Affairs, saying military veterans should be able to go to any health care provider and have that care fully covered by their benefits."

"\n\n Substantial evidence supports the BIA’s conclusion that Ordonez-Godoy did\n\nnot suffer past persecution. ",
"Ordonez-Godoy was never physically harmed or directly\n\nthreatened by the Figueroas. ",
"Ordonez-Godoy credibly testified to threats against her\n\nhusband by the Figueroas, but she also testified that she was not on the Figueroas hit\n\nlist, and she did not testify that any threats were made against her specifically.",
"\n\nMoreover, she testified that during her only direct interaction with the Figueroas—\n\nwhen an armed group of gang members came to her home shortly after her husband\n\nfled Honduras—a gang member told her he was friends with her father and expressed\n\nno interest in harming her. ",

"17-71840; dissent\n\n\n Absent a sufficient showing of past persecution, Ordonez-Godoy cannot\n\nbenefit from a presumption of a fear of future persecution, and substantial evidence\n\nsupports the BIA’s determination that Ordonez-Godoy did not establish a well-\n\nfounded fear of future persecution on account of a protected ground. ",
" First,\n\nsubstantial evidence supports the BIA’s conclusion that Ordonez-Godoy is unlikely\n\nto be persecuted based on her relationship with her husband’s politically active\n\nfamily. ",
"During Ordonez-Godoy’s single direct encounter with the Figueroas they\n\nexpressed no desire to harm her even though they were aware that she was living\n\nwith her husband’s family; she lived in her husband’s family’s home for nearly two\n\nmore years without incident; and there is no evidence that anyone in Ordonez-\n\nGodoy’s hometown has been specifically targeted because of his or her relationship\n\nwith the Sauceda-Velasquez family.",
"\n\n Substantial evidence also supports the BIA’s conclusion that Ordonez-Godoy\n\ndid not establish a well-founded fear of future persecution based on her political\n\nopinion. ",
"It is true that the Figueroas have targeted her husband’s uncle and cousin,\n\nwho were political candidates for mayor, as well as her husband’s aunt and other\n\nuncle, who served as campaign managers. ",
"But the record here does not compel the\n\nfinding that the Figueroas imputed these political beliefs to Ordonez-Godoy. ",
"Again,\n\nOrdonez-Godoy has had a single interaction with the Figueroas and they expressed\n\nno interest in harming her, despite knowing that she lived with her husband’s\n\n\n ~2~\n\fOrdonez-Godoy v. Sessions, No. ",
"17-71840; dissent\n\n\npolitically active family. ",
"She lived with her husband’s family without incident\n\nthroughout the mayoral campaign, and she lived in Honduras without harm for more\n\nthan a year after the assassination of her husband’s uncle. ",
"Her husband’s parents\n\nhave continued to live in Honduras since that time without harm, despite the\n\ninclusion of her father-in-law on the Figueroas’ hit list.",
"\n\n The IJ and BIA looked at the record and decided that, although awful violence\n\nhad been visited upon members of Ordonez-Godoy’s family, Ordonez-Godoy\n\nherself had not demonstrated that she was the target of such violence. ",
"Regardless of\n\nwhether or not we agree with that conclusion, there is substantial evidence to support\n\nit, and reasonable factfinders would not be compelled to disagree with it.",
"\n\nApplication of the deferential standard of review set forth by the Supreme Court and\n\nthis Circuit requires denial of the petition.",
"\n\n Given that Ordonez-Godoy’s asylum petition was properly denied, I address\n\nbriefly her remaining claims. ",
"First, because Ordonez-Godoy failed to establish\n\neligibility for asylum, she necessarily failed to satisfy the higher standard for\n\nwithholding of removal. ",
"Second, we do not have jurisdiction to consider the merits\n\nof Ordonez-Godoy’s CAT claim because Ordonez-Godoy did not appeal the IJ’s\n\nadverse CAT decision to the BIA, and so failed to exhaust her administrative\n\nremedies with respect to that claim.",
"\n\n\n\n\n ~3~\n\fOrdonez-Godoy v. Sessions, No. ",
"17-71840; dissent\n\n\n Finally, Ordonez-Godoy was not denied due process. ",
"First, the transcript of\n\nOrdonez-Godoy’s hearing does not support her assertion that the IJ demonstrated\n\nactual bias or prejudgment. ",
"Second, Ordonez-Godoy’s claim that the IJ denied her\n\ndue process by denying her motion to consolidate was not adequately raised before\n\nthe BIA. ",
"Last, the BIA’s evidentiary rulings did not deny Ordonez-Godoy due\n\nprocess.",

"\n Phoenix, Arizona\n\nGentlemen:\nI want to apologize, first of all, for not having written this letter sooner and perhaps thereby have avoided unnecessary efforts on the part of members of the committee and the bar who are charged with the task of investigating Mrs. DeSoto's (Mildred Shelton) complaint. ",
"However, the delay was not intentional. ",
"I have been diligently attempting to discover the facts so that I could advise you of them.",
"\nFirst of all, the charges set forth in the order to show cause are true. ",
"I have no defense to any matter set forth therein and my appearance would therefore be futile.",
"\nIn admitting these charges, however, I do not admit any implications that are not set forth therein. ",
"This matter together with the funds was entrusted to another party when I left Phoenix and I am now unable to determine what transpired after I left. ",
"I realize that this does not relieve me of the duty to account for the funds, and I am presently in the process of obtaining the money to reimburse the estate of the Shelton children. ",
"A delay in the arrangements has been partly responsible for my delay in writing this letter. ",
"I wanted to be able to offer the definite assurance of when the funds would be forthcoming before writing, but since the time is growing short I do not want to cause any more inconvenience to the committee.",
"\nIn making these admissions I do want to state that my guilt lies in misplacing my trust and in being too gullible. ",
"I realize that these actions can be as detrimental to a client's welfare as an intentional defalcation, however, and I will accordingly submit this letter for the committee's determination. ",
"As soon as final arrangements have been completed so that I may make restitution I will advise the committee and I will abide by any instructions of the committee in that regard.",
"\n Very sincerely yours,\n /s/ William Rogers Jr.\n\n[2] Respondent was sent by registered mail, return receipt requested, a copy of the recommendations of the committee. ",

"In conventional computing systems, a frame buffer is provided in the system's hardware which is used to store the contents of the display of the computing system at any given time. ",
"The term “frame buffer”, as used herein, refers to the entire video display interface including acceleration hardware and other components as appropriate. ",
"The frame buffer is traditionally controlled and manipulated by a software program which regulates access to the display as requested by various application programs running on the computing system. ",
"For example, in a computing system utilizing the X Windows display protocol, an 8 bit frame buffer can be provided in the computer's hardware and controlled through the X Windows application program interface. ",
"The X Windows protocol permits a number of programs, known as X clients, to communicate with the interface, known as the X server, and thus modify the viewable display.",
"\nConventionally, an 8 bit frame buffer can display up to 256 different colors typically from a palette of 224 (or 16,777,216) colors. ",
"Each of the 256 colors can be designated and selected by a X client, through a color lookup table known as a “colormap.” ",
"A conventional colormap for an 8 bit frame buffer has 256 (28) addressable entries or cells, each cell representing a “pixel” value defining a color displayable on the display. ",
"FIG. ",
"1 shows an example of a colormap, having 256 cells. ",
"Each cell contains a multi-bit field which, among other things, dictates the color associated with the cell, and whether the cell is a read-only cell or a read/write cell. ",
"By default, the colormap cells are considered “empty” until allocated and initialized by the server at the request of an X client. ",
"The color of an empty cell is undefined. ",
"The operation of a colormap and the X Windows protocol is described in “The Xlib Programming Manual”, by O'Reilly and Associates Inc. publishers, 1988 (ISBN 0-937175-13-7), which is hereby expressly incorporated by reference in its entirety.",
"\nThe application programs (i.e., the X clients) running on the computing system manipulate the cells in a colormap through the X server interface, and the frame buffer hardware accesses the cells in the colormap to determine the color of any pixel displayed. ",
"The mechanism typically takes this form: the client may request that a specific color be made available to it by allocating an entry in the default colormap. ",
"The X server will attempt to satisfy the request but may refuse if there are no unallocated cells available. ",
"At this point, the client has several options: for example, it may try to allocate a different color, ignore the error and assume that the request succeeded, or exit with an error. ",
"Alternatively, it may create a “private colormap” which gives the client a full set of 256 cells that are not shared with any other client.",
"\nIn conventional computing systems, a display or colormap “flashing” problem occurs if the display hardware of the computing system is equipped with a frame buffer capable of accessing only a single hardware colormap at any one time. ",
"For example, Sun Microsystems' CG6 frame buffer hardware, or the GX hardware, is an 8 bit frame buffer which supports only one colormap at any one time. ",
"As the user moves between a client that uses the default colormap and one that has defined a private colormap, the X server automatically updates the values in the frame buffer's hardware colormap.",
"\nFor example, the default colormap may have used cells 0 and 1 to display black and white. ",
"But the private colormap may have entirely different R, G, B values, and thus colors, in these locations.",
"\nWhen the default colormap switches out, the private colormap values are applied to all of the displayed color images and windows, with the result that windows and images displayed in on the screen may appear to be abnormally or seemingly randomly colored since these images relied upon the values stored in the default colormap. ",
"The image associated with the X client which allocated the private colormap will, of course, appear as it should, since it is now using the colors from the private colormap. ",
"If the user then activates a window which relies on the default colormap, the default colormap is then applied to all images and the image associate with the private colormap will then appear to be abnormally or randomly colored. ",
"This problem is referred to herein variously as “display flashing”, “colormap flashing”, or simply “flashing”.",
"\nWhat is needed is a method and computer program product for reducing display flashing in a computing system where the display hardware of the computing system is equipped with a frame buffer capable of accessing only a single hardware colormap at any one time. ",
"The system and method should operate transparently with respect to legacy software applications, and should not require any changes to the hardware of the computing system or display devices. ",
"It with this background in mind that the present invention was developed."

"We view the\n\nevidence, and reasonable inferences from it, in the light most favorable to the nonmovant, Cronen,\n\nand will affirm only if the defendants \"ha[ve] established [their] right to the judgment with such clarity\n\nthat the nonmoving party cannot recover ... under any discernible circumstances.\" ",

"\n\nThe district court properly dismissed this claim pursuant to Fed.",

"\n\n Cronen asserts an implied cause of action under the Act as a further basis for relief.2 In\n\nVictorian v. Miller, 813 F.2d 718 (5th Cir.1987) (en banc ), we decided that a private right of action\n\nis available under section 1983 to remedy violations of the Act. ",
"We reserved judgment, however, on\n\nthe question of whether the Act itself creates an implied cause of action. ",

"Because\n\nwe hold that the Eleventh Amendment bars Cronen's claims against the state and the agency, we again\n\ndecline to address this issue.3\n\n 2\n Cronen originally raised the possibility of an implied cause of action in an amendment to his\noriginal complaint. ",
"He apparently failed to obtain leave of the district court to file his amendment\nand simply added an additional paragraph without reiterating the content of his original complaint.",

"\n\n Cronen argues that Congress abrogated Eleventh Amendment Immunity for violations of the\n\nAct in passing 42 U.S.C.A. § 2000d–7 (West Supp.1992), which provides in part,\n\n (a) General provision\n\n (1) A State shall not be immune under the Eleventh Amendment of the Constitution\n of the United States from suit in Federal court for a violation of section 794 of Title 29, title\n IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, the Age Discrimination Act of 1975 [42 U.S.C.A.\n § 6101 et seq.], ",
"title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 [42 U.S.C.A. § 2000d et seq.] ",
"or the\n provisions of any other Federal statute prohibiting discrimination by recipients of Federal\n financial assistance.",
"\n\nCronen contends that the Act constitutes a \"Federal statute prohibiting discrimination by recipients\n\nof Federal financial assistance.\" ",
"As authority for this proposit ion, he relies upon 7 U.S.C.A. §\n\n2020(c) (West 1988), which provides, \"In the certification of applicant households for the food stamp\n\nprogram, there shall be no discrimination by reason of race, sex, religious creed, national origin, or\n\npolitical beliefs.\"",
"\n\n We find this argument unpersuasive. ",
"Section 2000d–7(a)(1) lends itself to at least two\n\ninterpretations. ",
"One can, as Cronen urges, interpret the final clause as abrogating Eleventh\n\nAmendment immunity under any federal statute prohibiting discrimination and involving the\n\n\n\n\ncould pursue that claim only as an implied cause of action. ",
"In this regard, we note that the\nSeventh Circuit has held that the Act creates such an implied cause of action. ",
"See Haskins v.\nStanton, 794 F.2d 1273, 1275 (7th Cir.1986). ",
"Our reasoning in Victorian appears consistent\ntherewith.",
"\n\fdistribution of any federal financial assistance.4 Under Cronen's interpretation, the general subject\n\nmatter of the statute makes no difference.",
"\n\n We find a second interpretation of the statute more persuasive, concluding that Congress\n\nintended to abrogate Eleventh Amendment immunity only for statutes that deal solely with\n\ndiscrimination by recipients of federal financial assistance. ",
"Each of the four statutes listed in section\n\n2000d–7 aims to prevent various types of discrimination by recipients of any type of federal financial\n\nassistance; they are \"antidiscrimination\" statutes. ",
"The Act, on the other hand, constitutes a\n\ncomprehensive federal entitlement program that happens to include a provision prohibiting\n\ndiscrimination in disbursing these entitlements. ",
"In other words, this statute prohibits discrimination\n\nin the disbursement of a specific type of federal financial assistance and cannot be deemed an\n\n\"antidiscrimination\" statute; thus, the Act is not the kind of statute Congress was referring to in\n\nsection 2000d–7.",
"\n\n Even if this were not so, our holding would not change. ",
"In order for Congress to abrogate\n\nEleventh Amendment immunity, it must make \"its intention unmistakably clear in the language of the\n\nstatute.\" ",
"Atascadero State Hosp., ",
"473 U.S. at 242, 105 S.Ct. ",
"at 3147. ",
"Congress may have done so\n\nfor the four specifically enumerated statutes in section 2000d–7. ",
"Given the two possible (and we\n\nthink reasonable) interpretations of the last phrase of section 2000d–7, however, we conclude that\n\nCongress has not sufficiently expressed itself to support a finding of abrogation for claims brought\n\nunder the Act.",
"\n\n Cronen also argues that the Act itself abrogates the states' Eleventh Amendment immunity,\n\nciting 7 U.S.C. §§ 2016(f), 2020(e), and 2023(b) (1988). ",
"Basically, Cronen asserts that because these\n\nsections provide for a restoration of wrongfully withheld benefits, Congress must have meant to\n\nabrogate immunity, as these provisions otherwise would be rendered nugatory. ",
"See Gomez v. Illinois\n\n\n 4\n Cronen does not allege that the state discriminated against him on the basis of race, sex,\nreligion, national origin, or political beliefs. ",
"Were we to hold that § 2000d–7 abrogates immunity\nunder the Act, we would also have to decide whether it does so only for a discrimination claim or,\nalternatively, for any type of claim. ",
"This further ambiguity lends additional support to our holding\nthat Congress has not made its intention to abrogate immunity under the Act \"unmistakably clear\nin the language of the statute.\" ",

"of Educ., ",
"811 F.2d 1030, 1036 (7th Cir.1987).",
"\n\n We find no merit in this argument. ",
"These provisions are not rendered meaningless absent\n\nabrogation, as actions for restoration of benefits can be brought in state court. ",
"See Testa v. Katt, 330\n\nU.S. 386, 67 S.Ct. ",
"810, 91 L.Ed. ",
"967 (1947) (state courts must hear claims brought under federal\n\nlaw). ",
"The language of these provisions also fails to meet the Atascadero standard of unmistakable\n\nclarity. ",
"We therefore find no intent to abrogate immunity in the Act.",
"\n\n C.\n\n Next, Cronen avers that the Eleventh Amendment does not bar his claim for retroactive\n\nbenefits because these benefits would be paid entirely by the federal government. ",

"Had Cronen sued a state official in his official\n\ncapacity, this argument might have merit.5 In such a suit, a federal court may award prospective\n\ninjunctive relief that has only an ancillary effect on the state treasury. ",
"Quern v. Jordan, 440 U.S. 332,\n\n337, 99 S.Ct. ",
"1139, 1143, 59 L.Ed.2d 358 (1979); see Ex parte Young, 209 U.S. 123, 28 S.Ct. ",
"441,\n\n52 L.Ed. ",
"714 (1908). ",
"Here, of course, an injunction requiring an award of retroactive benefits would\n\nhave no effect on the state treasury.",
"\n\n The Supreme Court, however, has never extended the Ex parte Young fiction to states\n\nthemselves; the Court's prior decisions establish that a state qua state cannot be sued for damages\n\nor injunctive relief, absent waiver or abrogation. ",
"Pennhurst, 465 U.S. at 100, 104 S.Ct. ",
"at 908.",
"\n\nConsequently, the source of the damages is irrelevant when the suit is against the state itself or a state\n\nagency. ",
"We hold that the Eleventh Amendment bars Cronen's claims against Texas and the Texas\n\nDepartment of Human Services.",
"\n\n IV.",
"\n\n\n 5\n Several circuits have accepted Cronen's argument. ",
"See Robinson v. Block, 869 F.2d 202 (3d\nCir.1989); Bennett v. White, 865 F.2d 1395 (3d Cir.1989); Foggs v. Block, 722 F.2d 933 (1st\nCir.1983); Jordan v. Weaver, 472 F.2d 985 (7th Cir.1973). ",
"Contra Rothstein v. Wyman, 467\nF.2d 226 (2d Cir.1972).",
"\n\f We now address the claims against the individual defendants. ",
"At the outset, we note that\n\nCronen's complaint does not specify whether his suit is brought against the individual defendants in\n\ntheir personal capacity, official capacity, or both. ",
"Cro nen, however, in his \"Additional Material\n\nOpposing Defendant's Motion to Dismiss,\" asserts that the suit is against the individuals in their\n\npersonal capacity. ",
"Thus, we need not address the issues that would arise were the suit also brought\n\nagainst the defendants in their official capacity.",
"\n\n A.\n\n The district court held that the individual defendants were entitled to qualified immunity\n\nagainst Cronen's claim for damages.6 Executive officials who must necessarily exercise discretion in\n\nthe scope of their duties are granted qualified immunity from damage suits. ",
"Harlow v. Fitzgerald,\n\n457 U.S. 800, 807, 102 S.Ct. ",
"2727, 2732, 73 L.Ed.2d 396 (1982). ",
"Because qualified immunity\n\nconstitutes an affirmative defense, the defendant must both plead and establish his entitlement to the\n\ndefense. ",
"Gomez v. Toledo, 446 U.S. 635, 640, 100 S.Ct. ",
"1920, 1923, 64 L.Ed.2d 572 (1980). ",

"Saldana v. Garza, 684 F.2d 1159, 1163 (5th Cir.1982).",
"\n\n Although Cronen, in his pleadings, states that he is suing the individual defendants only in\n\ntheir personal capacity, he also says that they were acting in their official capacity, but he disputes that\n\nthey were acting within the scope of their discretionary authority. ",
"As we understand Cronen's\n\nargument, the defendants allegedly acted outside their discretionary authority because they failed to\n\nfollow or correctly apply the federal food stamp regulations as required by law; in other words, they\n\nhad no discretion to act in a manner contrary to law.",
"\n\n We think Cronen misinterprets the meaning of discretionary authority, as his view would\n\n 6\n Cronen's suit seeks retroactive benefits as well as damages for \"suffering.\" ",
"Damages for\nemotional suffering can be compensable under § 1983. ",
"See Hamilton v. Rodgers, 791 F.2d 439,\n444–45 (5th Cir.1986); Baskin v. Parker, 602 F.2d 1205, 1209 (5th Cir.1979). ",
"Likewise,\ndamages for physical suffering are compensatory in nature and therefore recoverable under §\n1983. ",
"See Baskin, id.\n\femasculate the \"good faith\" prong of the qualified immunity defense. ",
"Under Cronen's approach, we\n\nwould look to see whether the defendant acted contrary to law. ",
"If he had, he would be acting outside\n\nhis discretionary authority and, thus, not entitled to immunity. ",
"The \"good faith\" prong would\n\ndisappear from the analysis, and an official who acted wrongly would rarely be entitled to immunity.",
"\n\nThat result would conflict with the purpose of qualified immunity—allowing officials to exercise\n\ndiscretion without fear of liability when they make mistakes.",
"\n\n An official acts within his discretionary authority when he performs non-ministerial acts within\n\nthe boundaries of his official capacity. ",
"Here, the individual defendants handle appeals of food stamp\n\napplicants. ",
"In carrying out their duties, they necessarily must interpret the general language of\n\nstatutes and regulations and apply them to concrete circumstances.",
"\n\n Cronen further contends that the defendants did not act in good faith. ",
"We must affirm the\n\ndecision of the district court unless we find a material issue of fact as to whether the defendants\n\nviolated \"clearly established statutory or constitutional right s of which a reasonable person would\n\nhave known.\" ",

"He first calls attention to 7\n\nC.F.R. § 273.9(d)(5)(i) (1992), which provides in part,\n\n ... Shelter costs shall include only the following: (A) Continuing charges for the shelter\n occupied by the household, including rent, mortgage, or other continuing charges leading to\n the ownership of the shelter such as loan repayments for the purchase of a mobile home,\n including interest on such payments.",
"\n\nCronen claims that he is entitled to a deduction for rent on his storage space and post office box and\n\nthat he can deduct the cost of the materials used to build his shacks and the transportation costs for\n\nthese materials as \"continuing charges leading to ownership.",
"\"7 Cronen also points to 7 C.F.R. §\n\n273.10(c)(3)(i) (1992), which states in part, \"Households, except destitute households, and PA\n\n[Public Assistance] households subject to a monthly reporting requirement, may elect to have income\n\n\n 7\n Cronen also claims he is entitled to a deduction for the cost of transportation between his\nproperty and the food stamp office. ",
"We agree with the defendants that there is no statutory or\nregulatory basis for such a deduction.",
"\n\faveraged.\" ",
"Cronen claims this provision allows him to elect income averaging and that the defendants\n\nprevented him from doing so.",
"\n\n We first consider whether the defendants violated any clearly established statutory or\n\nconstitutional rights. ",
"States participating in the food stamp program must follow the federal\n\nregulations. ",
"7 U.S.C.A. § 2014(b) (West 1988); 7 U.S.C.A. § 2020(e) (West 1988). ",
"If defendants\n\nrefused to follow well-established federal regulations, they would violate clearly established rights.",
"\n\n As far as Cronen's claims for shelter cost deductions are concerned, we cannot say the\n\ndefendants violated clearly established rights. ",
"The regulations do not specifically address Cronen's\n\nclaimed deductions. ",
"The defendants simply applied the general language to Cronen's circumstances.",
"\n\nQualified immunity was designed to protect just this sort of judgment. ",
"We express no opinion on the\n\nreasonableness of defendant's interpretation but hold only that neither these regulations, nor any other\n\nauthority, clearly establishes Cronen's right to the shelter cost deductions.",
"\n\n We reach a different conclusion when considering Cronen's claim that he was entitled to elect\n\nincome averaging. ",
"The language of the federal regulation allows Cronen to elect income averaging\n\nunless he is destitute or receiving public assistance. ",
"We find nothing in the record indicating that\n\neither exception applies to Cronen. ",
"The reports of the various caseworkers indicate that Texas will\n\nnot allow income averaging unless the claimant is self-employed or is eligible in the application month\n\nand ineligible the following month. ",
" The plain language of section 273.10(c)(3)(i) does not\n\ncontemplate such restrictions, and Texas has not offered any legal basis for imposing these additional\n\nrequirements. ",
"As an official colorably violates a clearly established right where he simply chooses\n\nnot to follow binding federal regulations, Cronen has produced sufficient evidence to survive\n\nsummary judgment.",
"\n\n Because Cronen has established the existence of a material issue of fact as to the violation of\n\nthe clearly established right to income-average, we also must consider whether the defendants\n\nreasonably should have known of the right. ",
"That, too, is a factual issue inappropriate for resolution\n\non summary judgment. ",
"There is evidence that the defendants did know, as Cronen provided\n\nphotocopies of the pertinent regulations to them. ",
"Cronen claims the defendants told him they were\n\fnot complying with the regulations and that one defendant even said they did not have to comply\n\ntherewith. ",
"Accordingly, as Cronen has presented ample evidence to raise a material issue of fact as\n\nto whether the individual defendants are entitled to qualified immunity, we vacate the summary\n\njudgment in their favor as to this issue only.",
"\n\n B.\n\n The district court did not address Cronen's claim for injunctive relief. ",
"Because we vacate and\n\nremand, we need not address this issue, which the district court should address on remand.",
"\n\n V.\n\n We AFFIRM the summary judgment in favor of Texas and the Texas Department of Human\n\nServices on the ground of Eleventh Amendment immunity. ",
"Intimating no view as to the ultimate\n\nresolution of the merits, we VACATE the summary judgment in favor of the individual defendants\n\nas to the income-averaging issue o nly and REMAND for further proceedings on that issue and\n\nAFFIRM the summary judgment in all other respects.",

"Sunlight on Campaign Finance Disclosure\n\nJune 2, 2014, 2:30 p.m.\n\nThe recent Supreme Court decisions in the Citizens United and McCutcheon cases opened the door to an unfettered, unregulated influx of money into elections from corporations and labor unions. ",
"A first step in addressing the multitude of problems the decision created is disclosure. ",
"It is incumbent upon Congress to immediately create a robust, rapid transparency regime that takes full advantage of technology. ",
"This requires real-time, online transparency on every level of influence, from independent expenditures to lobbying to bundled campaign contributions.",
"\n\nNow that the Supreme Court has struck down overall contribution limits, the only remaining pillar of our campaign finance system is disclosure. ",
"Unfortunately, our current system of disclosure is not up to the task imposed by the Supreme Court. ",
"The Real Time Transparency Act Of 2014 is a crucial move toward a more transparent system that requires campaign contributions of $1,000 or more to candidates, committees and parties to be public within 48 hours."

"BC’s Oil and Gas Commission: A captured regulator Photo © Garth Lenz By Ben Parfitt\n\nIn June 2015 “in an effort to expedite” the building of a pipeline by Alliance Pipeline Ltd., a company called Synergy Land Services submitted falsified documents to British Columbia’s Oil and Gas Commission.",
"\n\nThe documents were deliberately altered to suggest that archaeological work was done at two sites when in fact it had only been done at one. ",
"Yet the imprimatur of the professional archaeologist somehow magically made it onto both documents.",
"\n\nTwo years later when the Commission (OGC) issued an “administrative finding” on the matter, it noted how Synergy’s “applications were altered to include different geographic areas and different purposes from the initial applications while retaining original signatures of the archeologist and Alliance’s company representative.”",
"\n\nFraud is a serious criminal matter. ",
"Under BC’s Oil and Gas Activities Act, which guides the OGC’s work, companies found to have submitted false or misleading documents may be liable to fines of up to half a million dollars.",
"\n\nSynergy subsequently laid the blame for what happened on a junior employee who didn’t know better. ",
"The employee was let go and the company allegedly altered its hiring practices to “add a training component on documentation expectations.”",
"\n\nWhile the OGC later said it was not satisfied that Synergy took “all reasonable steps” to ensure the fraud did not occur, it concluded that the company had done enough to prevent it happening again.",
"\n\nThe company was not even ordered to pay a token dime by way of a fine.",
"\n\nUnfortunately, this is not an isolated incident. ",
"When it comes to vigorously enforcing the rules, the OGC rarely does and today I published a report outlining this.",
"\n\nRegulatory failure\n\nIn just the past two-and-a-half years, three spectacular examples of regulatory failure by the OGC have surfaced.",
"\n\nIn May 2017, word surfaced that the OGC had allowed dozens of unlicensed dams to be built on its watch by fossil fuel companies that impounded massive amounts of water behind the structures to use in their controversial, earthquake-inducing fracking operations.",
"\n\nMany of those “illegal works” (two of the largest unlicensed dams were described as such by BC’s Environmental Assessment Office) were subsequently found to have serious design flaws that could have had deadly consequence for any oil and gas industry personnel or landowners working or living immediately downstream.",
"\n\nThen, in late fall 2017, it was learned that the OGC had knowledge of numerous gas wells that had failed and were leaking methane into groundwater. ",
"What did the OGC do with that knowledge? ",
"It hid it from the public for four years, only confirming it after a copy of its “internal” audit was leaked to an investigative reporter.",
"\n\nIn spring 2018, word surfaced about yet another damaging OGC audit. ",
"This one itemized how numerous oil and gas companies had violated operational rules aimed at protecting some of the most threatened caribou populations in the province. ",
"Once again, the OGC suppressed that information, only acknowledging it after it fell into outside hands.",
"\n\nThe worst that appears to have happened in all three cases involving multiple violations of provincial regulations is that the OGC ordered the offending companies to fix their mistakes.",
"\n\nSuch orders, however, are not official findings of wrongdoing—something that the OGC appears intent on avoiding.",
"\n\nTo demonstrate this, the BC office of the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives looked at 115 different enforcement actions posted on the OGC website. ",
"Fully 99 of those actions involved orders where no finding of guilt was made. ",
"Another two involved tickets. ",
"Only 14 involved administrative tribunals where harsher penalties could theoretically be meted out. ",
"Even then, they rarely were.",
"\n\nIn total, the penalties resulting from those 14 investigations totaled $92,750, a drop in the bucket compared to the more than $5 million in penalties that could have been levied.",
"\n\nCompeting interests\n\nFrom its advent 21 years ago to the present day, the OGC has outperformed on its key mandate of being a “single-window” agency that fast tracks industry development applications. ",
"But it has underperformed, spectacularly, when it comes to holding that same industry to account when it does wrong—as it all too frequently does. ",
"This suggests that the agency is captured by the industry it regulates, which is never a good thing as far as the public interest is concerned.",
"\n\nThis state of affairs will continue and likely get worse with a predicted rapid run-up in natural gas drilling and fracking operations that would be required if one or more liquefied natural gas plants materialize on BC’s coast.",
"\n\nThere is one effective way to reform the current state of affairs, something that both a former all-party committee of the provincial legislature recommended in the aquaculture or salmon-farming industry and that BC Auditor General Carol Bellringer more recently recommended for regulation of the province’s mining industry.",
"\n\nWhen regulators are essentially tasked with both expediting development applications and simultaneously policing the industry that it grants development approvals to, problems inevitably arise. ",
"Bellringer quite rightly concluded in the case of the mining sector that a provincial agency saddled with such a dual role was caught in an “irreconcilable conflict.”",
"\n\nTo end that conflict and restore public confidence, one agency should review and subsequently approve or deny industry applications. ",
"A second very separate agency should do the policing work and ensure that companies abide by the rules. ",
"When those rules are broken, it should fall to the stand-alone compliance and enforcement agency to determine what the appropriate penalties will be.",
"\n\nBritish Columbians deserve to see this simple yet vital reform enacted along with a handful of other reforms aimed at turning the OGC from an agency captured by the industry it regulates to one that more properly serves the people of the province.",

"Basic Instinct\n\nBasic Instinct is a 1992 American neo-noir erotic thriller film directed by Paul Verhoeven and written by Joe Eszterhas, and starring Michael Douglas and Sharon Stone. ",
"The film follows a police detective, Nick Curran (Douglas), who is investigating the brutal murder of a wealthy rock star. ",
"During the investigation Curran becomes involved in a torrid and intense relationship with the prime suspect, Catherine Tramell (Stone), an enigmatic writer.",
"\n\nEszterhas developed the script in the 1980s, which became a subject of a bidding war until Carolco Pictures acquired the rights to the film. ",
"From there, Verhoeven signed on to direct and Douglas and Stone joined the project, after many actresses were considered the role of Tramell. ",
"Before its release, Basic Instinct generated heated controversy due to its overt sexuality and graphic depictions of violence, including a scene of rape. ",
"It was strongly opposed by gay rights activists, who criticized the film's depiction of homosexual relationships and the portrayal of a bisexual woman as a murderous psychopath. ",
"In a 2006 interview, Stone alleged that a scene in which her vulva was exposed as she crossed her legs was filmed without her knowledge.",
"\n\nBasic Instinct premiered in Los Angeles on March 18, 1992, and was released in the United States by TriStar Pictures on March 20, 1992. ",
"The film received mixed reviews from critics, who praised the performances of its cast, original score, and editing, but criticized its writing and character development. ",
"Despite initial mixed critical reception and public protest, Basic Instinct was a box office success, grossing $352 million worldwide, making it the fourth highest grossing film of 1992. ",
"Several versions of the film have been released on videocassette, DVD, and Blu-ray including a director's cut with extended footage previously unseen in North American cinemas. ",
"\n\nThe film has contemporarily been recognized for its groundbreaking depictions of sexuality in mainstream Hollywood cinema, and has been referred to by scholars as \"a neo-noir masterpiece that plays with, and transgresses, the narrative rules of film noir.\" ",
"A 2006 sequel, Basic Instinct 2, starred Stone and was made without Verhoeven's involvement, but received negative reviews from critics and was not particularly successful at the box office.",
"\n\nPlot\n\nIn San Francisco, homicide detective Nick Curran investigates the murder of retired rock star Johnny Boz, who has been brutally stabbed to death with an ice pick during sex with a mysterious blonde woman. ",
"Nick's only suspect is Boz's bisexual girlfriend, crime novelist Catherine Tramell, who has written a novel that mirrors the crime. ",
"It is concluded that either Catherine is the murderer or someone is attempting to frame her. ",
"Catherine is uncooperative and taunting during the investigation, smoking and exposing herself during her interrogation. ",
"She has an alibi and passes a lie detector test. ",
"Nick discovers Catherine has a history of befriending murderers, including her girlfriend Roxy, who killed her two younger brothers, on impulse, when she was sixteen years of age, and Hazel Dobkins, who killed her husband and children for no apparent reason.",
"\n\nNick, who accidentally shot two tourists while high on cocaine during an undercover assignment, attends counseling sessions with police psychologist Dr. Beth Garner, with whom he has an on and off affair. ",
"Nick discovers that Catherine is basing the protagonist of her latest book on him, wherein his character is murdered after falling for the wrong woman. ",
"Nick also learns that Catherine has bribed Lt. ",
"Marty Nielsen of Internal Affairs for information from Nick's psychiatric file and that Beth had previously given it to Nielsen after he threatened to recommend Nick's termination. ",
"Nick assaults Nielsen in his office, and later becomes a prime suspect when Nielsen is killed. ",
"Nick suspects Catherine, and when his behavior deteriorates, he is put on leave.",
"\n\nNick and Catherine begin a torrid affair with the air of a cat-and-mouse game. ",
"Nick arrives at a club and witnesses Catherine doing coke with Roxy and another man. ",
"Nick and Catherine dance and make out, and are later observed having violent sex in Catherine’s bed by Roxy. ",
"Catherine ties Nick to the headboard with a white silk scarf, just as Boz was tied by the mystery blonde, but does not kill him. ",
"Roxy, jealous of Nick, attempts to run him over with Catherine's car, but dies when the car crashes. ",
"Catherine grieves over Roxy's death and tells Nick about a previous lesbian encounter at college that went awry. ",
"She claims that the girl became obsessed with her, causing Nick to believe that Catherine may not have killed Boz. ",
"Nick identifies the girl as Beth, who acknowledges the encounter, but she claims it was Catherine who became obsessed. ",
"Additionally, Nick discovers that Beth and Catherine's college professor was also killed with an ice pick in an unsolved homicide, and that the events inspired one of Catherine's early novels.",
"\n\nNick comes across the final pages of Catherine's book in which the fictional detective finds his partner's body in an elevator. ",
"Catherine then breaks off their affair, causing Nick to become upset and suspicious. ",
"Nick later meets his partner Gus Moran, who has arranged to meet with Catherine's college roommate at an office building, hoping to reveal what really went on between Catherine and Beth. ",
"As Nick waits in the car, Gus is stabbed to death with an ice pick in the elevator. ",
"Recalling the last pages of Catherine’s book, Nick runs into the building, only to find Gus' body in a manner similar to the scene described. ",

"\n\nCritical response\nThe film's critical reaction was mixed. ",
"On Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds a score of 53% based on 62 reviews, with an average rating of 5.8/10 and the consensus: \"Unevenly echoing the work of Alfred Hitchcock, Basic Instinct contains a star-making performance from Sharon Stone, but is ultimately undone by its problematic, overly lurid plot.\" ",
"On Metacritic the film holds a score of 41 based on 28 critics, indicating \"mixed or average\" reviews. ",
"Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of \"B+\" on an A+ to F scale.",
"\n\nJanet Maslin of The New York Times praised the film, saying \"Basic Instinct transfers Mr. Verhoeven's flair for action-oriented material to the realm of Hitchcockian intrigue, and the results are viscerally effective even when they don't make sense.\" ",
"Peter Travers of Rolling Stone also praised the film, saying it was a guilty pleasure film; he also expressed admiration for Verhoeven's direction, saying \"[his] cinematic wet dream delivers the goods, especially when Sharon Stone struts on with enough come-on carnality to singe the screen,\" and praised Stone's performance: \"Stone, a former model, is a knockout; she even got a rise out of Ah-nold in Verhoeven's Total Recall. ",
"But being the bright spot in too many dull movies (He Said, She Said; Irreconcilable Differences) stalled her career. ",
"Though Basic Instinct establishes Stone as a bombshell for the Nineties, it also shows she can nail a laugh or shade an emotion with equal aplomb.\"",
"\n\nThe international critical reception was favorable, with Australian critic Shannon J. Harvey of the Sunday Times calling it one of the \"1990s['] finest productions, doing more for female empowerment than any feminist rally. ",
"Stone – in her star-making performance – is as hot and sexy as she is ice-pick cold.\"",
"\n\nThe film was not without its detractors. ",
"Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times dismissed the film, giving it two out of four stars, stating that the film is well-crafted, yet dies down in the last half hour: \"The film is like a crossword puzzle. ",
"It keeps your interest until you solve it. ",
"Then it's just a worthless scrap with the spaces filled in.\" ",
"Dave Kehr of the Chicago Tribune also gave a negative review, calling it psychologically empty: \"Verhoeven does not explore the dark side, but merely exploits it, and that makes all the difference in the world.\"",
"\n\nAccolades\n\nControversy\nThe film generated controversy due to its overt sexuality and graphic depictions of violence, including a scene of rape. ",
"During principal photography, the film was protested against by gay rights activists who felt that the film followed a pattern of negative depiction of homosexuals in film. ",
"Members of the lesbian and bisexual activist group LABIA protested against the film on its opening night. ",
"Others also picketed theatres to dissuade people from attending screenings, carrying signs saying \"Kiss My Ice Pick\", \"Hollywood Promotes Anti-Gay Violence\" and \"Catherine Did It!\"/\"Save Your Money—The Bisexual Did It\". ",
"Verhoeven himself defended the groups' right to protest, but criticized the disruptions they caused, saying \"Fascism is not in raising your voice; the fascism is in not accepting the no.\"",
"\n\nFilm critic Roger Ebert mentioned the controversy in his review, saying \"As for the allegedly offensive homosexual characters: The movie's protesters might take note of the fact that this film's heterosexuals, starting with Douglas, are equally offensive. ",
"Still, there is a point to be made about Hollywood's unremitting insistence on typecasting homosexuals—particularly lesbians—as twisted and evil.\" ",
"Camille Paglia denounced gay activist and feminist protests against Basic Instinct, and called Sharon Stone's performance \"one of the great performances by a woman in screen history\", praising her character as \"a great vamp figure, like Mona Lisa herself, like a pagan goddess\".",
"\n\nThe film was also widely criticized for glamorizing cigarette smoking. ",
"Screenwriter Joe Eszterhas was later diagnosed with throat cancer and publicly apologized for glamorizing smoking in his films.",

"Field of the Invention\nThe present invention relates to an electromagnetic field intensity computing apparatus for computing the intensity of the electromagnetic field of an electric circuit device based on the moment method.",
"\n2. ",
"Description of the Related Art\nSince an unnecessary electric wave emitted by an electric circuit device interferes with TV, radio, or other electric waves, various strict restrictions have been put in place in many countries. ",
"For example, Japan has issued the VCCI Standard, the U.S. has issued the FCC Standard, and Germany has issued the VDE Standard.",
"\nTo meet such electric wave restrictions, various actions should be taken using shielding technologies, filtering technologies, etc. ",
"Accordingly, it is necessary to quantitatively simulate these actions to determine the extent to which extent the electric wave can be reduced. ",
"Since the simulation of the electromagnetic analysis requires a long process time using a computer, it is necessary to prepare a high-speed and high-precision computing apparatus to compute the intensity of the electromagnetic field of an electric circuit device.",
"\nIn a method of computing the electromagnetic field intensity, the electromagnetic field intensity of an object can be easily computed by a well-known logic equation, given a current flowing through each portion of the object. ",
"The current value can be logically obtained by solving the Maxwell equations (electromagnetic wave equations) under given conditions. ",
"However, no exact solution has been obtained by equations under complicated boundary conditions on an object of an optional shape.",
"\nTherefore, any solution for obtaining the current used by the electromagnetic field intensity computing apparatus refers to, more or less, an approximation. ",
"A typical approximate computation can be a small loop antenna approximation, a distributed constant line approximation, or a moment method.",
"\nIn the small loop antenna approximation method, the wiring connecting the wave source circuit and the load circuit is treated as a loop antenna. ",
"In this approximation, the current through the loop is assumed to be flat and computed by the method of computing the concentrated constant circuit.",
"\nFIGS. ",
"1A and 1B illustrate the small loop antenna approximation.",
"\nFIG. ",
"1A shows a circuit model comprising a driver 10 that is a wave source circuit; a receiver 11 that is a load circuit; a wiring 14 connecting the driver 10 to the receiver 11, and a dielectric portion 12 inserted between the grounding wire layer 13 and wiring 14.",
"\nIn FIG. ",
"1A, the distance between the driver 10 and receiver 11 is l and the distance between the wiring 14 and the grounding wire layer 13 is h.\nFIG. ",
"1B is a diagram showing the equalizing circuit of the circuit model shown in FIG. ",
"1A.\nIn FIG. ",
"1B, the driver 10 is represented by an equalizing circuit comprising a power source V, resistor R.sub.1, and capacitor C.sub.1. ",
"The receiver 11 can be represented by an equalizing circuit comprising a capacitor C.sub.2.",
"\nA line current I flows as a loop as shown in FIG. ",
"1B. The area of the loop is represented by S (=lh). ",
"The straight line below the line current I shown at the upper portion in FIG. ",
"1B indicates that the line current I is constant (flat) regardless of the position of the line.",
"\nThe line current I can be computed through a concentrated constant circuit comprising the equalizing circuit of the driver 10 and receiver 11 by the following equation (1). ##",
"EQU1##\nThen, using the line current I computed by the above equation (1), a radial electromagnetic field E is computed by the following approximation (2). ##",
"EQU2##\nAs described above, the computation according to the small loop antenna approximation involves a very simple equation, and the computation can be performed at a high speed.",
"\nHowever, since the line current I is assumed to be constant on the line, the current distribution on the line varies when the frequency f refers to a high frequency, thereby considerably lowering the precision.",
"\nThus, the computation using the small loop antenna approximation is the simplest method of all the above listed approximations, but in practice it is not used at all because it is inferior in precision if the size of the loop cannot be ignored when compared with the wave length of the electromagnetic wave.",
"\nThe distributed constant circuit approximation refers to a method of considering the current distribution to improve the precision.",
"\nThe distributed constant circuit approximation refers to a method of obtaining a current value by applying the equation of the distributed constant line to an object to be represented as a one-dimensional structure by an approximation.",
"\nThe computation can be easily done in this method. ",
"The computation time and storage capacity are increased in proportion to the number of analysis elements. ",
"Furthermore, the analysis is made including the reflection and resonance of a line, etc. ",
"Therefore, in the distributed constant circuit approximation, a high-speed and high-precision analysis can be made on an object to which a one-dimensional approximation can be applied.",
"\nFIGS. ",
"2A and 2B show the above described distributed constant line approximation.",
"\nThe circuit model shown in FIG. ",
"2A is the same as that shown in FIG. ",
"1A, and the detailed description is omitted here.",

"2B shows the equalizing circuit of the circuit shown in FIG. ",
"2A.\nIn FIG. ",
"2B, the equalizing circuit of the driver 10 and receiver 11 is the same as that shown in FIG. ",
"1B.\nWhen the frequency f becomes high and the wave length .lambda. ",
"becomes shorter than the line length l in FIG. ",
"2A, a standing wave current flows through the line and the distribution of the current varies with the line position. ",
"In FIG. ",
"2B, for instance, the value of the line current I is larger on the driver 10 side while the value of the line current I is smaller on the receiver 11 side. ",
"The value of the line current I at a certain point is represented by I(x) while the voltage at a certain point is represented by V(x), where x indicates a variable representing the distance from the receiver 11, that is, the origin (x=0). ",
"The driver 10 refers to (x=L).",
"\nIn FIG. ",
"2B, \"Zo\" indicates a characteristic impedance in a distributed constant line. \"",
"Z.sub.",
"L \" indicates a characteristic impedance at the receiver 11. ",
"`.beta.",
"` indicates a wave number and is represented by (.beta.=.omega./c=2.pi./.lambda.). ",
"The wave length .lambda. ",
"is represented by (.lambda.=c/f). ",
"The `c` indicates the velocity of light.",
"\nThe current distribution I(x) of the line can be obtained by the following equation (3). ##",
"EQU3##\nAs described above, the computation done using the distributed constant line approximation allows a high-speed and high-precision analysis to be made on an object to be processed as a one-dimensional structure by an approximation.",
"\nHowever, some objects that cannot be processed as one-dimensional structures by an approximation are not analyzed.",
"\nThe moment method is one of the solutions of an integral equation derived from the Maxwell electromagnetic wave equations, and can process a 3-dimensional object. ",
"In this method, an object is divided into small elements to compute an electric current.",

"\nHowever, in the method described by the reference 2, only the relative positions of the patches on a single board are referred to, but this method does not disclose the reduction of the amount of computation by analyzing the relative positional relationships among the patches on a plurality of plates.",
"\nSince the plate to be analyzed can be in various forms, the method of extracting the patches having equal relative positional relationships on one or more plates and then automatically detecting from among them the patches having unique relative positional relationships has not been developed yet.

"This may cause further electromagnetic wave radiation. ",
"In this case, no housing is provided at the tip of the coaxial cable 20. ",

"\n(c) The electric current through the shield of the coaxial cable 20 normally flows in parallel with the cable, but flows toward a pigtail lead line 22 when the current approaches the pigtail, and changes its flow from the parallel to vertical direction as shown in FIG. ",
