The Supreme Court yesterday overturned a lower court's ruling that had barred an anti-abortion group from running television advertisements mentioning a specific senator during his 2004 re-election campaign.
At issue is a challenge by Wisconsin Right to Life (WRTL) to ad limits set by the 2002 McCain-Feingold campaign-finance reform law. The law bans corporate or union money from paying for ads that identify candidates for federal office by name two months before Election Day.
In what some court observers saw as a move to sidestep a major review of the law until the pending nomination of Judge Samuel A. Alito Jr. to the high court is resolved, the justices delivered a short, unsigned opinion, sending the case back to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia for further review.
"I think they tried to make a narrow ruling while the court's membership was intact, thereby precluding the need for rehearing when Alito joins the court," said Thomas E. Mann, a senior fellow of governance studies at the Brookings Institution.
WRTL argues the law does not clearly define what ads are restricted during the two-month blackout period before elections. Specifically, the group sought to have the law declared unconstitutional when applied to its own 2004 ads against Sen. Russell D. Feingold, Wisconsin Democrat, who at the time was running for re-election.
WRTL argued its television ads should be immune because they did not directly call on voters not to vote for Mr. Feingold, but instead served as "grass-roots lobbying" ads urging people to phone senators and ask them to oppose the filibustering of Bush administration judicial selections.
The U.S. appeals court disagreed, citing a 2003 Supreme Court ruling, which upheld the McCain-Feingold law. In remanding the case yesterday, the justices said the appeals court had erred in reading the 2003 ruling as a permanent block on all future challenges to McCain-Feingold's ad limits.
Depending on how the appeals court rules in light of the order, scholars say the case could end up back at the high court.
"The case carries significant potential to limit the reach of the electioneering-communications restrictions," said Lillian Riemer BeVier of the University of Virginia School of Law. "But we don't know whether that's going to happen for quite a while, given how long the litigation process takes."
"I think the Wisconsin Right to Life people do have a case, based on their allegations that they are a citizens' grass-roots political organization and not a profit-making (or even a non-profit) corporation," she said. "The 'let's get big money out of politics' rationale of the electioneering-communications restrictions does not apply to them."
Mr. Mann, meanwhile, said the justices appear "to have initiated a judicial effort to define genuine 'issue ads.'"
"It is not at all clear where this will lead," he said. "I suspect the district court panel will rule against WRTL on the merits of their argument that their ad should not have been covered by the law."
In other action, the justices:
Set a March 28 oral argument for the challenge to President Bush's authority to try Osama bin Laden's former driver, Salim Ahmed Hamdan, by special military tribunal at U.S. Naval Base Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, where the Yemeni man has been detained.
Refused to hear an appeal brought by the maker of BlackBerry, the hand-held wireless e-mail device, to long-running claims that the Canada-based company has violated intellectual-property rights of a U.S. patent holder.

I think Cleverly is going to school him big time. He's talked his way into title fight without really earning his shot. Yes he has power, but Cleverly has an excellent chin and way more tools in the box.

Recently, I bought a pair of rose-colored glasses to protect my eyes from the sun's glare and give me a more positive outlook on life. For lately, I've been downright grumpy!
Recently, I bought a pair of rose-colored glasses to protect my eyes from the sun's glare and give me a more positive outlook on life. For lately, I've been downright grumpy!
First, the Hartford Courant cancelled my Sunday-only subscription, which I relied upon to provide me with facts to supplement information that appeared in The Bulletin about the policies and actions of our state government; however, thanks to my glasses, I discovered ctmirror.org with its reports on Connecticut's "people, policies and politics." Many of the writers once worked for the Courant.
Then my quarterly Music Sheet Magazine announced its demise "due to the economy." There's nothing like a little Cole Porter, Stephen Sondheim or Harold Arlen's "Lillian, the Tattooed Lady" for exercising arthritic fingers on the piano. My new glasses tell me I can make do with my current sheet music collection.
Last week, a day or two before spring began, I was annoyed that it snowed on my daffodils in bud, and that the deer are already out there dreaming about eating the stems of my shade-tolerant hosta plants. Perhaps someone at tonight's public meeting of the Brooklyn Garden Club (7 p.m. at Trinity Episcopal Parish Hall, 7 Providence Road) can help. Kathie Sisson will speak on "Hostas: the Diamond of the Garden."
Even with rose-colored glasses, I can see that most of the problems that have made me grumpy lately are miniscule when compared to the recent threat of North Korea to send a missile our way. Last week I was interviewed by Dennis Bennett, a student in the Quinebaug Valley Community College course, History of the Cold War, and I shared my personal story from the October 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis.
At the time, I was stationed at the Pentagon in the Office of the Chief of Naval Operations. The USSR was shipping missiles to Castro's Cuba, and the U.S. said, "No way." Fortunately for me and many others, that standoff between the USSR and the United States ended satisfactorily.
Today, there are hundreds of missiles besides North Korea's pointed at Connecticut, Bennett reminded me. Now there's something I'm grumpy about even with rose-colored glasses!
Marge Hoskin, a Quiet Corner native, is a retired naval officer. She is the former chairwoman of the Quinebaug-Shetucket Heritage Corridor Inc. board of directors and one of the founding members of the corridor. Her column appears every Tuesday. Reach her at firstname.lastname@example.com.

The German Book Office recently chose Eros by Helmut Krausser as its book pick for July.
Krausser's book—which doesn't actually release until mid-August, though you could pre-order copies now—is coming out from Europa Editions and sounds pretty interesting:
Alexander von Brücken, an ageing millionaire, invites an unknown author into his mansion to record his life story. From there the novel plunges back into Germany's past when Hitler's Third Reich is on the brink of failure. In an air raid shelter, Alexander falls desperately in love with a girl named Sofie. She flees with her family, but she is never able to completely escape from Alexander's grasp. Odd coincidences and fortuitous circumstances find their way into Sofie's life, and Alexander with his wealth and power lurks in the background. Krausser examines the limits of wealth and the limitless power of unrequited love in this novel. Despite the vast geographical and chronological spaces that the story sweeps through, Alexander's obsession with Sofie shines more vividly than all the surrounding elements. With the unknown author narrating this seductive and darkly fascinating story, the reader also wonders if Alexander's perspective and telling of his past have been skewed by years of longing and frustration.
This is the only the second of Krausser's books to make it's way into English, the first being The Great Bagarozy. Looking at the stats, I know that there's a one in a million chance (you know, give or take a few hundred thousand) for a foreign author to be published in English, yet this one sort of surprises me.
In addition to Eros and The Great Bagarozy, Krausser has a book called Fat World (a sample translation of which has been making the rounds) and another called Ultrachronos (or simply UC) that's described as such:
UC, or Ultrachronos, is a certain way of perceiving the world shortly before death: it is a moment, a single instant, wherein you watch your entire life, but not just the events that actually happened, you also see the events which could have happened. Krausser's new novel Ultrachronos is both a tale of a man's seemingly unshakeable existence – as a successful conductor, as an arrogant adulterer – and the story of a man viewing his own Ultrachronos. The reader sees the main character as he flees from his past – and as he meets Kurthes, a writer and guru, who seems to know everything about him and who wants to give him an eerie part in his new book…Helmut Krausser, the critically acclaimed author of several novels, theater-plays, poems, diaries, and opera libretti, works with the instruments of a crime novel, but this book goes much deeper into the borderland of our existence.
It's possible Europa is doing more of his titles . . . Regardless, Eros sounds intriguing and is definitely something we'll review as soon as it's available (you know, give or take a month or two).
César Aira dishes up an imaginative parable on how identity shapes our sense of belonging with Dinner, his latest release in English. Aira's narrator (who, appropriately, remains nameless) is a self-pitying, bitter man—in his late fifties, living again with. . .
Originally published in French in 2007, We're Not Here to Disappear (On n'est pas là pour disparaître) won the Prix Wepler-Fondation La Poste and the Prix Pierre Simon Ethique et Réflexion. The work has been recently translated by Béatrice Mousli. . .
Even though the latest from Jean Echenoz is only a thin volume containing seven of what he calls "little literary objects," it is packed with surprises. In these pieces, things happen below the surface, sometimes both literally and figuratively. As. . .
Who is this woman? This is the question that opens Xiao Bai's French Concession, a novel of colonial-era Shanghai's spies and revolutionaries, police and smugglers, who scoot between doorways, walk nonchalantly down avenues, smoke cigars in police bureaus, and lounge. . .

Karel Schoeman's Afrikaans novel, This Life, translated by Else Silke, falls into a genre maybe only noticed by the type of reader who tends toward Wittgenstein-type family resemblances. The essential resemblance is an elderly narrator, usually alone—or with one other. . .

There are books that can only wisely be recommended to specific types of readers, where it is easy to know who the respective book won't appeal to, and Kristiina Ehin's Walker on Water is one these. What makes this neither. . .

Smith brought Kawneer to Niles during train stopPublished 9:01am Wednesday, March 17, 2010
Silverbrook Legacies
By THE FRIENDS OF SILVERBROOK CEMETERY
The Niles Daily Star is pleased to continue the historical series on those buried in Silverbrook Cemetery. We join the Friends of Silverbrook Cemetery in welcoming your suggestions and input for future columns.
Louise Reddick Smith would like these stories. She would be particularly proud of this one.
Prior to her death in 1910, in a letter to her children about the early history of Niles, she wrote: "It (the history) will probably be of more interest to myself, than anyone else, for old people have a way of looking backward and finding more pleasure, than in anything transpiring around them at the present time."
The letter was printed in the newspaper, Oct. 15, 1950. Writer Helen Logan Walton, in her introduction to the letter, said Louise was the only daughter of John Reddick and sister to John L. and William A. Reddick, both distinguished businessmen in Niles.
Louise married Mahlon Smith and was mother to five children. One of her children, Carmi R. Smith, followed in his uncle's footsteps to become yet another Niles business icon.
Born in Girard, Township, Branch County (his father was considered one of the county's pioneer settlers) May 19, 1862, Smith moved to Niles in 1886 following his graduation from Albion College. He began his business career by supplying material to different paper mills until in 1907 he became involved in real estate.
Smith also owned and operated a successful lumberyard. His mother refers to it in her letter.
"I think perhaps the earliest recollections I have of a home was in Niles when I was 5 or 6 years old. The house was on Front Street about where Carmi's lumberyard and office is now."
The business gained notoriety when at 10:20 p.m. Aug. 14, 1907. Patrolman Clarence Shockley was making his night rounds at the lumberyard and was fatally shot. Witnesses reported seeing two men entering the property and hearing four shots in quick succession soon after.
Believing the shots stemmed from a quarrel, the witnesses did not want to be involved and it was not until an hour later Glenn Kugler heard the officer's groans. Although he did receive some medical attention, he died the next day. The killer was never found in spite of a $1,000 reward.
No doubt the event would have had a profound affect on Smith. In addition to his business acumen he was known for his sense of civic responsibility.
His obituary states: "A staunch Republican all his life, he was chairman of the city committee for 10 years." In 1903 he was elected mayor, but resigned to become postmaster. Smith remained postmaster until 1912 when he was again elected mayor of Niles.
From 1897 to 1898 he was a member of the lower house of the state legislature. He later served as state delegate to the 1924 national convention which nominated Calvin Coolidge for president.
Business was Smith's passion. With his brother Ben, he organized the Michigan Wire Goods Co. in 1914, which was still a thriving venture at the time of his death in the summer of 1939.
Smith's passion for business and love for community were perhaps most evident through his role in the development of the Niles Club Co. in late 1909. This was an organization of strong, progressive men who intended to erect a clubhouse where citizens would gather for the unselfish purpose of making Niles "better, bigger and busier."
Chair of the building committee, Smith's own property at 315 Main St. between Third and Fourth streets became the location of the Niles Club Co. The Niles Business Men's Association met in the clubhouse regularly.
A Nov. 2, 1909 Niles Daily Star covered the formation of the organization declaring "Future Outlook Bright for Niles" and that a few enterprising business men and manufacturers came together and joined hands, minds and purses for the purpose of building up the city and that they did.
According to "Niles Michigan: A Pictorial History:" "Garden City Fan Co. is another major industry that was brought to Niles through the efforts of Carmi Smith and the Niles Business Men's Association. They had started in Chicago in 1879, but accepted a relocation offer and came to Niles in 1900 to occupy a new factory on Wayne Street next to the railroad tracks where they made industrial fans and blowers."
The book also credits Smith with enticing F.J. Plym to Niles. "Stopping in Niles in 1906 while changing trains, he met a local businessman, Carmi R. Smith, who was a prominent leader and promoter of the business community. Soon convinced by the persuasive Smith of the tremendous value of Niles location as a transportation hub … Plym decided to start his manufacturing plant in Niles at once."
This man, who could turn a chance meeting during a train stopover into one of Niles' great manufacturing ventures – Kawneer, was also remembered as an active member and past chairman of the Berrien County Red Cross; a member of the Masonic Lodge, Knights of Pythias, Elks and the Sigma Chi Albion Chapter for more than 10 years.
He died at his 603 East Main St. home July 17, 1939. The Rotary Club waived its program out of respect for Smith and issued the following statement: "Carmi Smith's life set up a standard of patriotism and high character – a challenge to his acquaintances and to the whole community."

The iPhone 6 Plus is an outstanding choice for those with big budgets and big pockets, but power users seeking even more flexibility should audition the Galaxy Note 4 as well.
With better battery life and performance than the Yoga 3 Pro (not to mention a lower price), the Yoga 3 14 is one of the best hybrid deals around.
The Lenovo ThinkCentre Chromebox doesn't exactly inspire, but if you or your employees need simple online access, it performs well for a very small investment.
The innovative Chromecast might be the ultimate living-room accessory for your phone or tablet, but more traditional streaming devices deliver a better streaming experience.
Apple's tiniest tablet is an overdue upgrade.
The newest iPhones are top-to-bottom better phones with lots of enhancements; iPhone 6 owners don't need the upgrade, but everyone else should seriously consider it.
The new iPhone 6S Plus looks nearly identical to last year's model but features all-new hardware on the inside.
Buy the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+ if you love the idea of a wraparound screen; otherwise, you'll be able to find less expensive phones that do nearly as much.
The Asus ZenFone 2 is too expensive for its above-average ability, but if the price agrees with you, the smooth performance and splendid low-light camera won't disappoint.
The Acer Revo is a do-it-all media-friendly PC that can fit anywhere.

Immigrant integration is the process of economic mobility and social inclusion for newcomers and their children. As such, integration touches upon the institutions and mechanisms that promote development and growth within society, including early childhood care; elementary, postsecondary, and adult education systems; workforce development; health care; provision of government services to communities with linguistic diversity; and more. Successful integration builds communities that are stronger economically and more inclusive socially and culturally.
This report explores the fundamental question of how successful integration and immigrant social mobility is in Europe and North America. The authors examine the economic performance and rate of labor market assimilation for first and second generation immigrants, and outline what policymakers can do to promote the social mobility and integration of immigrants and their children.
This report examines the funding formula used to distribute Workforce Investment Act Title II federal funds for adult education, literacy, and English as a Second Language instruction, and argues that the formula fails to account for the size and needs of adults with limited English proficiency.
MPI convened the first extraordinary meeting of the Transatlantic Council on Migration in Berlin on June 17-18, 2009. The expert dialogue focused on local integration efforts and outcomes in North America and Europe, examining what works (and what does not) with respect to integration.
As with an increasing number of other complex issues, policymakers engaged in immigration reforms must be acutely attuned and responsive to public opinion and media representation of immigration.
"Good integration" happens every day in different areas around the country, either as a unified response to a tragic event, in the private sphere, or in the successful performance of some ethnic minorities in education and employment.Yet, in some respects, communities are moving apart, pulled or sometimes pushed, by their own choices.
This book offers insights into key aspects of the citizenship debate from a policy perspective. It is a result of the deliberations and thinking of the Transatlantic Council on Migration, which brings together leading political figures, policymakers and innovative thinkers from the U.S. and Europe.

In 2 years of full-timing, this was the dustiest park we've ever been in. It's also the scariest. There was a section for permanent residents right next to our site, as well as two trailer parks next door that I wouldn't walk through in broad daylight. We made sure everything was locked up and out of sight. Check in became a problem when we were over-charged. Wifi was decent and dependable. Tree branches will hit a large rig (as they did ours). The cost, considering the condition of the park, is outrageous. If we had known we would have just kept driving. - Paff

Used this as one night stopover while heading for California. Glad to stop here as the winds and rain heading west from Salt Lake were brutal. Very friendly staff and older but nice, clean restrooms. All gravel site with easy hook ups with very little leveling needed. Cable TV at site but a little snow on the analog channels. Great overnight stopover and close to casinos, if you are into that. Would stay here again. - mdmnkcm

Creator: Gabriel García Márquez
Gabriel García Márquez. The name that is synonymous with Magic Realism. Born in Colombia, the man has been on the writing scene for a very long time and produced a solid body of work. In 1982, he gained the Nobel Prize in Literature. His book One Hundred Years of Solitude has become the definitive work of Magic Realism and is required reading in schools, not to mention his most famous book.His books deal with themes like solitude, eternal cycles, Banana Republics, political disputes and civil wars, themes present in his life and the life of his country with distressful frequence.He has also immersed himself into the cinema, helping directors to turn some of his books into films.Nowadays, García Márquez's fame has become a little awkward to Latin American writers, since it has generated the impression that all the literature of the zone is about angels, jungles and countryside. As a countermovement, the McOndo literary movement has been created by writers trying to present a more actualized Latin America. Hes still respected by those writers as a good writer, however.On the 7th of July, 2012, Márquez's brother revealed that he is suffering from senile dementia and given up writing for good. He later passed away on April 17, 2014, at the age of 87.

Stand with Pope Francis for climate action!
Pope Francis issued a Papal encyclical making clear the moral imperative to take action against human-caused climate change to protect the most vulnerable, including our children and grandchildren. The Pope said that "leaving an inhabitable planet to future generations is, first and foremost, up to us." Predictably, climate deniers and others doing the bidding of the fossil fuel industry are criticizing the Pope for taking a stand. Please sign the letter to Pope Francis to make sure he knows that parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles and everyone else who cares about the future of our children support his call for bold, urgent climate action.
President Obama: Reject the Keystone XL Pipeline once and for all!
Keystone XL, the proposed oil pipeline from Canada that would span nearly 2,000 miles to the Gulf Coast of Texas, would carry over 800,000 barrels of dirty tar sand oil through the U.S everyday. According to the EPA, shipping the world's dirtiest oil through the Keystone XL pipeline would cause a "significant increase in greenhouse gas emissions," equal to almost six million cars or eight coal plants every year. President Obama vetoed the bill that was written to force him to approve Keystone XL but now it's time for him to stop the polluting pipeline once and for all. Please sign the letter calling on President Obama to stop Keystone XL now.
Governor LePage: Reverse denial of climate change education!
Governor LePage recently vetoed a bill that would have adopted Next Generation Science Standards that include climate science. With his veto, Governor LePage is standing in the way of Maine kids learning the facts about climate change. Science supporters have vowed to bring the bill back next year. But to prevent a repeat of Governor LePage's veto, parents, teachers and science education supporters need to speak out to make it clear that Mainers support climate science education. Please sign the petition asking Governor LePage to stop blocking high quality science education that includes climate science for Maine students.

Fortunately, governors across the US who embrace the need to act on climate have already publicly rebuked Senator McConnell in strong terms. Please sign the letter asking governors to join their colleagues in publicly rejecting Senator McConnell's efforts to derail the Clean Power Plan, and to develop a plan for rapid expansion of energy efficiency and renewable energy.
Speak up for new Utah science standards that include climate change education!
Utah's Department of Education is proposing new science standards for middle school students that include climate change education. But climate science deniers are trying to stop the adoption of the Utah Science and Engineering Education Standards, creating the impression that parents don't want climate science taught in Utah. If they are successful, Utah kids will be kept in the dark about climate change and will be denied access to a world-class science education. As the Board of Education prepares to vote on the new standards, send them a message by signing the petition to tell them that the vast majority of Utah parents strongly support the new standards and climate change education.
Iowa Board of Education: Adopt Next Generation Science Standards!
The Iowa State Board of Education will soon vote on new science standards that include the scientific facts about human-induced climate change for K-12 students. The Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) were strongly recommended by the Iowa Science Standards Review Team of educators, but vocal groups that deny climate science are trying to stop the new standards from being adopted. It's crucial that we speak up now so Iowa students are not denied access to a world-class science education that includes climate science. Please sign the petition in support of NGSS and climate science education for Iowa students.

The present invention relates to a device for packaging and folding a flexible material part, especially a parietal reinforcement.
Certain flexible material parts have to be stored flat in their protective packagings in order to avoid any alteration of their flat shape following prolonged folding or rolling up, in particular the formation of creases, then, at the point of use, have to be folded longitudinally or rolled up in such a way as to have a compact cross-sectional shape.
This is particularly the case with a parietal reinforcement designed to be fitted by means of a coelioscopy method. The reinforcement must, in fact, be arranged flat in its packaging, otherwise irreversible creases might be formed in its material, subsequently preventing the reinforcement from being placed in intimate contact with the wall to be treated, with a view to a cell colonization. At the moment of its implantation, the reinforcement must be folded for insertion into a trocar so as to be introduced into the body of the patient through a small orifice.
According to an existing method, the reinforcement is simply placed in a parallelepipedal box of suitable dimensions. This box is opened at the moment of the fitting of the reinforcement and the practitioner folds this reinforcement manually prior to inserting it into a previously fitted trocar.
This method has the drawback of involving a handling of the reinforcement and hence of generating a risk of its becoming contaminated by the gloves of the practitioner. Moreover, the reinforcement rubs against the wall of the trocar as it is inserted into the latter, which likewise risks contamination of the reinforcement if the wall of the trocar is contaminated.
French patent No. 94/12700 proposes inserting a traction suture through the reinforcement, along a crenellated or wavy path. Pulls on the ends of the suture allow a "concertina-type" folding of the reinforcement to be achieved.
This method has the advantage of avoiding direct handling of the reinforcement for achievement of the folding, of ensuring a minimum bulk size of the reinforcement prior to introduction into the trocar, and of producing a concertina-type folding, which allows the reinforcement to be unfolded as it is extracted from the trocar. On the other hand, this method still involves handlings of the reinforcement at the moment of collection from its packaging box and its introduction into the trocar. Nor does this method eliminate the risk of contamination of the reinforcement by rubbing against the wall of the trocar.
Another method likewise consists in equipping the packaging box of the reinforcement with a roll-up key connected to one of the edges of the reinforcement and with a longitudinally slit tube into which the roll-up key is placed. At the moment of fitting of the reinforcement, the key is rotated, enabling the reinforcement to be rolled up and engaged in the slit tube. This slit tube is used to introduce the reinforcement into the trocar.
This method has the advantage of eliminating all handling of the reinforcement during folding and of protecting the reinforcement from all contamination by rubbing against the wall of the trocar. On the other hand, the slit in the tube has the drawback of making the trocar non-impervious to gas when this tube is engaged through the valve provided in the proximal end of the trocar. The result is that, upon the insertion of this tube into the trocar, there is an escape of the carbon dioxide used to raise the abdominal wall of the patient in order to free the zone of implantation of the reinforcement. The latter has therefore to be introduced "blind", which is undoubtedly a constraint. The slit tube, moreover, has a relatively large outer diameter, 12 mm in size, resulting from the use of the roll-up key. This large diameter entails the use of a trocar of corresponding inner diameter, not always suited to the surgical conditions. In addition, the reinforcement is rolled up upon itself, such that it has to be fully released from the trocar in order to be able to be opened out at the implantation site; this release is a marked constraint as compared to a concertina-type folding as mentioned above, which allows the reinforcement to be opened out as it is extracted from the trocar.
The present invention aims to eliminate precisely these drawbacks.
The device concerned comprises, in a manner which is known per se:
a packaging box for the flexible material part, dimensioned so as to hold this part flat,
folding means allowing this part to be folded without direct handling, and
a receiving tube, designed to receive the flexible material part in the folded state.
According to the invention,
the receiving tube is not longitudinally slit, and
the folding means comprise:
The engagement of the flexible material part in the tube is thus realized by simple traction on said traction suture, hence without any direct contact or handling of this part. The funnel-forming walls cause those zones of the part situated laterally relative to the tube to be folded toward that zone of the part which is situated opposite the opening in this tube and therefore allow the achievement of a more or less "concertina-type" folding-up of this part in this tube.
The packaging and folding device can be produced with standard materials for a packaging, at very low cost price. It can especially be produced by the assembly of parts made of thermoformed synthetic material.
The flexible material part, once inserted in the tube, is perfectly protected from contaminations upon its introduction into a trocar. This tube forms, moreover, a particularly convenient means for achieving this introduction in optimal conditions. The tube can have a relatively small diameter, especially eight millimetres, which allows it to be used with trocars of corresponding small diameters; it thus avoids recourse to a special trocar in order to realize said introduction, thereby substantially simplifying the operation. Furthermore, since it is not slit, the tube is gas-tight and does not give rise to an escape of carbon dioxide when introduced through the valve fitted to the trocar.
This tube, moreover, can itself be equipped with a proximal gas-tight valve and can, therefore, itself be used as a trocar. This possibility, apart from the simplification which it brings, helps to reduce the cost of the procedure.
Advantageously, said funnel-forming walls comprise two rounded walls defining between them a pass-through gap for the flexible material part having a width less than that of this opening in the tube.
These rounded walls prove to allow the flexible material part to be folded up perfectly. They can especially be constituted by side walls of two cylindrical blocks connected to the packaging box.
The flexible material part could, in this box, extend in the horizontal extension of the tube, which would have the drawback, however, of conferring large dimensions upon the device and of involving an increase in material. For this reason, according to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the device comprises a tray which delimits, with the packaging box, a bottom receptacle for receiving the flexible material part, comprises said funnel-forming walls on its face opposite that delimiting this receptacle, and has a rounded side edge, extending back from the box, around which the flexible material part is designed to slide when the aforesaid traction is applied to the traction suture.
This tray can comprise wedging means allowing the receiving tube to be immobilized until the flexible material part is fully engaged in this tube.
Advantageously, the device additionally comprises a cover configured such as to grip the receiving tube tightly between it and the aforesaid tray.
This cover, in conjunction with the tray, allows the receiving tube to be perfectly immobilized throughout the operation for inserting the flexible material part in this tube.
This cover can be separable from said tray to allow extraction of the receiving tube. Preferably, it comprises a hinged flap, allowing access to the receiving tube with a view to such extraction.
Advantageously, said tray or said cover, or both, can comprise a zone in the shape of an inverted "V", the base of which is situated substantially coaxially to the axis of said receiving tube, this zone being designed to be passed through by the traction suture.
This zone thus allows that portion of the traction suture which is engaged in the receiving tube to be held perfectly coaxial to this tube, whatever the angle at which the traction is applied to this suture.
For a good understanding thereof, the invention is re-described below with reference to the appended diagrammatic drawing representing, by way of non-limiting example, a preferred embodiment of the device to which it relates.
FIGS. 1 to 4 represent a device 1 for packaging and folding a parietal reinforcement 2, this reinforcement 2 being designed to be fitted by means of a coelioscopy method.
The reinforcement 2 is of the traditional type, especially realized in the form of a woven fabric or a knitted fabric of synthetic fibres, with openwork structure. In the example represented in the drawing, it has a substantially rectangular general form, such that it defines an end side edge 2 a having a medial zone.
The device 1 comprises a packaging box for the reinforcement 2, a tray 3, a receiving tube 4 for receiving the reinforcement 2 in the flat state, a cover 5 and a traction suture 6. A supplementary packaging box (not represented), receiving the whole of the device 1, is provided so as to ensure the perfect sterility of the device.
The packaging box for the reinforcement 2 is formed by a base 7 and a lid 8.
The base 7 comprises side walls 10 delimiting a cavity 11 and an outer peripheral rim 12 situated level with the opening in the cavity 11.
The lid 8 is sealed on the rim 12 such that it can be peeled off.
The cover 5 is constituted by a part made of thermoformed synthetic material. It has walls 15, allowing it to be fitted tightly into the opening in the base 7, and a peripheral rim 16, designed to come to bear against the rim 12 upon completion of this fitting.
The cover 5 is sub-divided into a main portion 5 a and a marginal portion 5 b, the latter being connected to the main portion 5 a along a transverse fold line 17. This line 17 forms a hinge, which allows the portion 5 b to be folded upward relative to the portion 5 a.
The portion 5 a has six oblong blocks 18 and two cylindrical blocks 19 delimiting, on the bottom face of the cover 5, cavities designed to tightly receive corresponding respective blocks 42, 46 (cf.
This portion 5 a likewise has an elongate depression 20, which delimits a semi-cylindrical receptacle emerging on the bottom face of the cover 5, this receptacle being designed to tightly receive the tube 4, as shown in FIGS. 3 to 6. On the .side opposite the portion 5 b, the portion 5 a has a raised wall 21.
The portion 5 b has a boss 25 delimiting, on the bottom face of the cover 5, a receptacle designed to receive a widened proximal portion 4 a of the tube 4. This boss 25 is bounded, on the side opposite the portion 5 a, by a wall 26 perpendicular to the axis of the receptacle delimited by the depression 20 (cf.
This portion 5 b additionally has side cavities 27 and, on the side opposite the portion 5 a, two rounded zones which delimit cavities 28. These cavities 27 and 28 are fit to receive the fingers of a user, as will become apparent later.
In addition, as shown by
The tray 3 is likewise made of a thermoformed synthetic material. It has a main portion 3 a and a marginal portion 3 b mutually connected by a transverse fold line 35. This line 35 allows the portion 3 b to be folded over onto the portion 3 a, as can be seen by comparing
It can be seen in
The portion 3 a has a peripheral rim 37, which allows it to be positioned, with wedging, in the base 7. This portion 3 a is dimensioned in such a way that the flange 36 is located back from the corresponding wall 10 of the base 7. When the tray 3 is placed in the base 7, a passage 40 therefore exists between this flange 36 and this wall 10, fit to allow the reinforcement 2 to slide through it.
The portion 3 a comprises a raised central zone 41, defining a bottom receptacle for receiving the reinforcement 2. This zone 41 comprises four blocks 42, a semi-cylindrical receptacle 43 emerging in the top face of the tray 3, dimensioned so as to tightly receive the tube 4, a flared receptacle 44 dimensioned to tightly receive the portion 4 a of the tube 4, and two cavities 45 designed to receive the walls delimiting the cavities 27.
For its part, the portion 3 b comprises two blocks 42 and two cylindrical blocks 46, as well as a semi-cylindrical depression 47 which delimits a receptacle entering the extension of the receptacle 43 when the portion 3 b is folded over onto the portion 3 a. This receptacle is fit, with the receptacle delimited by the depression 20, to tightly receive the tube 4, as is shown by
It can be seen, more particularly in
The portion 4 a of the tube 4 accommodates a gas-tight shutter, of the traditional type. This shutter is fit to resist the pressure of the carbon dioxide gas used to raise the patient's abdominal wall during the procedure, which raising offers freedom of access to the site of implantation of the reinforcement 2.
The suture 6 comprises two strands forming a loop. It is connected to the medial zone of the aforesaid side edge 2 a of the reinforcement 2 and passes through the tube 4. Its length is such that it can be grasped in order to apply a traction capable of making the reinforcement 2 penetrate the tube 4, as described below.
In practice, the user grasps the suture 6 by one hand and, with his other hand, applies pressure to the portion 5 b, engaging his thumb and his index finger of this other hand in the cavities 27.
A traction is applied to the suture 6, causing the reinforcement 2 to pass around the flange 36 before coming into contact with the side walls of the blocks 46. This contact, as illustrated in
Continuation of this traction effects the complete introduction of the reinforcement 2 into the tube 4.
In the course of this traction, the suture 6 comes to bear against the base of the notch 29, thereby ensuring that that portion of the suture 6 situated in the tube 4 is held in a position substantially coaxial to this tube 4, whatever the angle at which the user applies said traction.
Once the reinforcement 2 is fully engaged in the tube 4, the cavities 28 are utilized to raise the portion 5 b of the cover 5 and thus free the tube 4, which is able to be withdrawn, by sliding, from between the cover 5 and the tray 3.
The tube 4 can then be used as a trocar for introducing the reinforcement 2 into the body of the patient.
As is evident from the above-stated, the invention provides a device for packaging and folding a flexible material part, especially a parietal reinforcement 2, which device offers the following decisive advantages:
"concertina-type" folding of the reinforcement 2, without any manual contact with the reinforcement and according to a simple movement;
insertion of the reinforcement 2 into a tube 4 of relatively small diameter, allowing the reinforcement to be protected as it is fed through a trocar;
gas-impermeability of the tube 4 and possibility of use of this tube as a trocar;
possibility of producing the device with standard packaging materials, at a very low cost price.
The invention is not, of course, limited to the embodiment described above by way of example, but instead embraces all the construction variants within the scope of the protection defined by the attached claims.

text: Hi. Has anyone tried Spenco 2nd Skin Squares, 200 Gel Squares, for blister prevention? I do have callouses too but they also peel off during play and I don't enjoy that either. So I need some thing to cover them up. I've tried almost everything to prevent blisters on the palm / hand and most have been unsuccessful. That includes wrapping my hands with athletic tapes, band-aids, liquid band-aids or sprays, and blister pads. I also wore gloves but I did not like that cause it affects my feel for the ball. I also tried various soft grips and grip sizes and don't believe they helped me either. Yes, I can loosen up my grip and that has help a bit but with my aggressive playing style, I do need to grip a little tighter for control. So gripping it too loose is not an option for me. I've just came across this: Spenco 2nd Skin Squares, 200 Gel Squares, on Amazon.com and I've wonder if those thin gel square pads can provide that extra soft barrier between my palm and the handle without interfering with feel too much. If anyone tried this or have other innovative solutions, please provide suggestions! thanks!

- V. De Luca, University of Montreal, Montreal, Canada
- John Romeo, Department of Biology, University of South Florida, Tampa, FL, USA
The past decade has seen major advances in the cloning of genes encoding enzymes of plant secondary metabolism. This has been further enhanced by the recent project on the sequencing of the Arabidopsis genome. These developments provide the molecular genetic basis to address the question of the Evolution of Metabolic Pathways. This volume provides in-depth reviews of our current knowledge on the evolutionary origin of plant secondary metabolites and the enzymes involved in their biosynthesis. The chapters cover five major topics: 1. Role of secondary metabolites in evolution; 2. Evolutionary origins of polyketides and terpenes; 3. Roles of oxidative reactions in the evolution of secondary metabolism; 4. Evolutionary origin of substitution reactions: acylation, glycosylation and methylation; and 5. Biochemistry and molecular biology of brassinosteroids.View full description
For scientists interested in plant chemistry, plant biochemistry, plant molecular biology and chemical ecology.
