Time Out says
Split into two buildings, this pleasure palace claims well-heeled travelers from all corners of the globe seeking a bit of fun. From the rooftop pool, where cabanas and skimpy bikinis reign supreme, to the molecular gastronomic thrills of José Andres' Bazaar restaurant, it's non-stop thrills at this whimsical Philippe Starck-designed hotel.
SLS feels like a small boutique hotel, but the concept—founded by nightlife impresario Sam Nazarian—has been replicated in other high-profile cities like Miami and Las Vegas. Hence, the point of SLS (which stands for "Style, Luxury, Service") is to feel intimate and entrancing, while actually catering to a high volume of diners and drop-ins. Suites come with terraces and balconies, there are free-standing tubs in the bathrooms, and the fabulous on-site Ciel Spa supplies all of the bath amenities. But we haven't even gotten to the most pertinent aspect of the hotel: its otherworldly design. Philippe Starck was called in to animate the interiors, and the results are… hard to ignore. Aside from the ubiquitous mirrors, which populate every surface of the guest rooms (this may or may not be your idea of fun), there are whimsical touches like metallic-print furniture and pool tables placed in the middle of hallways. While Starck's oversaturated, erratic style can border on the heavy-handed, it also means that there's a high economy of space. No matter where you wander, there's always a cozily arranged nook to sit down with a cocktail and admire all the shiny ornaments.
Location: Despite the name, this hotel sits on the eastern border of Beverly Hills, on the border with mid-city and Melrose. Despite not being directly on Rodeo Drive, it's walking distance from the Beverly shopping center, and just a few blocks from popular weekend hangout the Grove—so shoppers need not wander far.
LACMA: A 20-minute walk east of the hotel, L.A.'s premier venue for cutting-edge contemporary art makes for a fun day trip.
The Grove: On a lazy Saturday morning, this upscale open-air shopping center is the place to be. Despite all the big-name brands occupying retails space, the gourmet-minded Original Farmers Market (open every day) is this landmark's crowning feature.
Urth Caffe: Walk a mile from the hotel to get to this beloved lunch and breakfast spot, part of a small local chain. The fair-trade coffee, boba tea and matcha-ccinos are worth the trip alone, but the frequent celeb sightings will be of interest to out-of-towners.
Greystone Manor: The 10,000 square foot space, a 15-minute drive from SLS, offers a tantalizing pairing: cocktails and aerialists. The interiors here are just as elaborate as at the hotel (makes sense, as they're owned by the same company), so this over-the-top nightlife venue pairs well with the SLS experience.
Good for: Spa lovers, bon vivants, fitness freaks, foodies—basically anyone who likes to live well will feel at home here. The hedonist vibe extends omnidirectionally, from the decadent, whimsical tapas plates at José Andres' Bazaar restaurant, to the spa, which in addition to the usual hot stone massages adds on more rarefied offerings like hangover relief IV therapy ($235).
Amenities: pool, hot tub, sauna, room service, free Wi-Fi, minibar, restaurant, bar, shop, gym, concierge, spa
Time Out tip: The allure of Beverly Hills is timeless, and while you're here you might wish to follow Julia Roberts' footsteps on the famed Rodeo Drive. No problem: the hotel offers complimentary car service to all guests traveling within 2 miles of the hotel, which works out great, as the designer label mecca sits just within the cut-off range.

Franz Schubert was a great composer, a genius, a rebel, an unrequited lover, a tragic figure in western music history. He died at the untimely age of 31 and left behind a significant oeuvre.
"A new Schubert edition has long been the wish of Schubert scholars", thus Karl Vötterle wrote in his memoirs, Haus unterm Stern. The plan to create this edition arose in a Salzburg café in winter 1962-63. The following November the German Schubert Society was founded in Tübingen to oversee the preparation of the New Schubert Edition. The first volume of music was presented to the public in an official ceremony on 29 January 1968.
Karl Vötterle himself considered the founding of the complete Schubert edition one of his "great undertakings". The success story continues to this day: With the publication of the New Schubert Edition Bärenreiter became the leading Schubert publisher and the measure of all things regarding Urtext performing editions.
The great diversity of Schubert's repertoire makes the study of his works particularly appealing. It was through his compositions that romanticism in music first came into flower. Long regarded mainly as the creator of art songs, it was only in the 20th century that his works in other genres increasingly came into focus. Today the concert repertoire is unthinkable without them, their combination of tunefulness, rich harmony and wide-ranging emotions casting a spell on musicians and audiences alike.
This little notebook is handsome as well as practical. The cover is in Bärenreiter's attractive Schubert-colour and has the same layout as our Urtext editions.

Is Will Muschamp the best defensive mind in football? Gus Malzahn thinks so

Auburn A-Day 2015
Auburn defensive coordinator Will Muschamp greets players during the first half of the spring A-Day game Saturday, April 18, 2015, at Jordan-Hare Stadium in Auburn, Ala. (Julie Bennett/ jbennett@al.com)
How good is Will Muschamp?
Gus Malzahn believes Auburn has the best defensive coordinator in high school, college or professional football (Canadian football included).
"In my opinion, the best defensive mind in all of football, not just college football," the Auburn head coach proclaimed Monday at SEC Media Days. "Our defensive players have taken on his personality, which I really like."
Muschamp's impact is apparent. His arrival in December reinvigorated a defense that watched its confidence slowly slip away at the end of the 2014 season.
"We are all excited," linebacker Kris Frost said. "We feel like we have a new breath of life in us. Everything is so positive. I have never seen it so positive before, with everything circling around the team. For the team as a whole, we are extremely excited and pumped up about starting the season off."
Malzahn often voices strong support for his assistants, including Ellis Johnson, the defensive coordinator he fired the day after the Iron Bowl last season.
"He's been one of the better defensive coordinators in this league for over 20 years and he's earned a lot of respect," Malzahn said two weeks before firing Johnson.
The confidence in Muschamp is warranted, if you consider the former Florida head coach's history. He has led top-10 defenses in 10 of 12 years as an assistant or head coach, including his two-year stint at Auburn in the mid-2000s.
"Our front seven should be the strength of our team," Malzahn said. "We have some quality experience back, and with the addition of (defensive end) Carl Lawson -- a healthy Carl Lawson -- we think that could be a definite strength for us."

text: 16 The Journal of Commerce | July 2018 www.joc.com Breakbulk & Project Cargo US PROJECT CARGO importers face a rising tide of pressures today ranging from fuel surcharges and congested ports to a growing clampdown on over-dimensional freight-hauling per- mits and tight breakbulk liner capacity during peak periods when weather drives scheduling and demand. But a recently completed move of three unassembled air cooling con- densers to three different construc- tion sites added layers of complexity to a logistics solution that involved six Asian and US ports, seven ocean car- riers, nine breakbulk vessel crossings, and 75 containerized liner sailings over a 36-month period. The marathon move was or- chestrated by Seahawk Logitech, a 17-year-old third-party logistics company in Itasca, Illinois, that won the award from a US-based global manufacturer of industrial heat transfer products. "There is only one way a logistics service provider can protect his shipper-customer on a move of such enormous scale, when all parties to the supply chain are not always willing to give an inch," John Bae, managing director, told The Journal of Commerce. "You must have Prioritized planning Seahawk offers case study in complex three-year heavy-li project cargo contract By Chris Barnett container vessel," officials said. Notably, that operation was an improvement on the 79-metric-ton, out-of-gauge cargo NSIGT processed on Maersk Line's Guayaquil in May 2017. NSIGT, located next to DP World's flagship Nhava Sheva International Container Terminal, opened full-fledged operations in early 2016. With a berth of about 1,083 feet, a draft of 44 feet, a 68- acre storage yard, four rail-mounted quay cranes, and 12 rubber-tire gan- try cranes, it has a capacity to handle 1 million TEU per year. Furthermore, NSIGT has several other "firsts" to its credit — such as hosting the largest container ship to have called Indian shores, with the India's increasing participation in turnkey projects in the Gulf and in Africa is seen as another factor propelling local demand for project cargo handling. 13,000-TEU MSC Cristina dock- ing there in April 2017; and using an optical character recognition technology-enabled module for gate operations that has dramatically shortened its truck turn times. In a prolonged, sluggish trade environment, ocean carriers have strategically shifted their focus to balancing their freight mix in order to create new revenue streams. Further, as India pumps billions into infrastructure development and accelerates domestic manufactur- ing efforts, ocean carriers believe totally open communication." By the time Seahawk won the bid in 2014, Bae already had his pre-plan sketched out. In gathering informa- tion for his proposal, he discussed specifics with his personal contacts at seaports, ocean carriers, truck lines, and foreign-based forwarders. In all cases, they were people he had worked with before on project moves and whose reliability had been proved. "By talking openly and specifical- ly and not hypothetically, we started formulating the pre-plan, including timelines, which still took four to six months to complete, review, and approve before the first shipment moved," he said. The project originated in Vietnam and China. The out-of-gauge cargoes were three steel structures weighing 22 metric tons apiece, measuring 45 feet long, 9 feet wide and 8 feet high that formed the housing for the air cooling condenser, and multiple duct- ing components weighing 26 metric tons each, measuring 55 feet long by 9 feet wide and standing 11 feet tall. "These pieces were manufac- tured in Ho Chi Minh City where we took possession of the cargoes," Bae said. "We were not responsible for the drayage." The heating cores, peripherals, components, and other parts that would meet up with the outsize cargoes at the construction site were manufactured in Xingang and Shanghai, also major port cities. The huge volume of smaller cargoes would require 450 FEU over the

\section{Introduction}

The top-mass is a key parameter in the standard model. For example, it plays an
important role for analyzing electroweak precision constraints, for predicting
rare decays like $B\to X_s\gamma$ and $K_L\to \pi^0\nu\bar\nu$, as well as for
unraveling the Higgs sector in supersymmetric models. The latest measurement
from the Tevatron~\cite{Group:2008nq}, $m_t^{\rm tev}=172.6\pm 0.8(stat) \pm
1.1(syst)\,{\rm GeV}$, is of very high precision, and brings to mind several
theoretical questions. In what mass-scheme is the value quoted? Are measurements
of the mass of a colored particle with a precision better than $\Lambda_{\rm
  QCD}$ possible using jets, or is this an irreducible uncertainty? How do
perturbative and nonperturbative effects modify the relation between the
experimental observable and the underlying Lagrangian mass parameter?  For the
LHC a $\sim 1\,{\rm GeV}$ systematic uncertainty was obtained from preliminary
ATLAS studies~\cite{Borjanovic:2004ce} (where hurdles to go beyond this level
include understanding the jet-energy scale to better than 1\%). At this level,
understanding the answers to the above questions is important.

To achieve a high precision top-mass, measurements exploit kinematic information
by considering leptons + jets, $p p\to t\bar t X \to ( b q\bar q)(\bar b
\ell\bar\nu)$, or the associated dilepton or all-hadronic channels, and use
Monte Carlo (MC) simulations to reconstruct observables sensitive to the
top-quark four vector,
and hence $m_t^2$. One of the most sensitive observables in this reconstruction
are the invariant masses $M_t^2 = (\sum_{i\in a} p_i^\mu)^2$ and $M_{\bar t}^2 =
(\sum_{i\in b} p_i^\mu)^2$ of the jets and other decay products produced by the
top and antitop respectively. Here the sets $a$ and $b$ depend on the
jet-algorithm and cuts. In such analyses it might appear natural to think of the
reconstructed top-mass as being associated to the pole-mass $m_t^{\rm pole}$,
since it is designed for sensitivity to the on-shell region $p_t^2\simeq
m_t^2$.  However, as we
will argue in section~5 below, it is not $m_t^{\rm pole}$ that is being
measured by the Tevatron analyses.

The relation of the pole-mass and any other Lagrangian mass-scheme $m_t(R,\mu)$
can be expressed as a perturbative series, $m_t^{\rm pole} = m_t(R,\mu) +\delta
m_t(R,\mu)$ where
\begin{eqnarray}
\label{mRdef}
 \delta m_t(R,\mu) = R \sum_{n=1}^\infty \sum_{k=0}^n a_{nk}
 \Big[\frac{\alpha_s(\mu)}{4\pi}\Big]^n \ln^k\!\Big(\frac{\mu}{R}\Big),
\end{eqnarray}
with $R$ a dimension-1 scale intrinsic to the scheme, and $a_{nk}$ finite
numerical coefficients.  Theoretically the pole-mass is a poor scheme choice
since in QCD its definition is ambiguous by an amount of ${\cal O}(\Lambda_{\rm
  QCD})$ (in perturbation theory this is referred to as the infrared renormalon
problem).  Nice mass schemes avoid this problem by a suitable choice for the
$a_{nk}$'s, and are known as short-distance mass schemes. Using observables
expressed in terms of short-distance schemes the accuracy that the mass of a
colored particle can be measured is not limited by $\Lambda_{\rm QCD}$. This
fact is  important to obtain the $\simeq 40\,{\rm MeV}$ uncertainties for
current measurements of the $b$-quark mass~\cite{Yao:2006px}.
For current top-measurements based on reconstruction there is another
important restriction on viable
short-distance schemes. In these kinematic-based analyses the top-quark
decay is treated with a Breit-Wigner in the MC's, and only
``top-resonance mass
schemes'' with a small $R\sim \Gamma_t$ are compatible with the Breit-Wigner
form~\cite{Fleming:2007qr}. This restriction rules out directly measuring the
$\overline {\rm MS}$ mass, which has a much larger $R=m_t$.

To explore these issues in detail it is useful to consider a case with full
analytic control, namely jets produced in $e^+e^-\to t\bar t$ with c.m.\ energy
$Q \gg m_t$.  Here the jet-invariant masses $M_{t,\bar t}$ sum over particles in
the top and antitop hemisphere defined with respect to the thrust axis, and
are examples of event shape variables
for massive quarks.  The resonance region $|M_{t,\bar t}-m_t|\ll m_t$ is most
sensitive to the top-mass. The appropriate factorization theorem was
derived in Ref.~\cite{Fleming:2007qr},
\begin{eqnarray} \label{Fthm}
 &&\hspace{-0.8cm}
 \frac{d^2\sigma}{dM_t^2 dM_{\bar t}^2}
 = \sigma_0 H_Q(Q,\mu_m) H_m\Big(m,\frac{Q}{m},\mu_m,\mu_\Lambda\Big)
  \nonumber \\
 &&\hspace{-0.8cm}
 \times\!\!\int\!\! d\ell^+d\ell^- B_+(\hat s_t\! -\! \frac{Q \ell^+}{m},\delta
 m, \Gamma_{\!t},\mu_\Lambda,\mu_\Gamma)
  \\
 && \hspace{-0.8cm}
  \times  B_-(\hat s_{\bar t}\!-\! \frac{Q\ell^-}{m},\delta m,\Gamma_{\!t},\mu_\Lambda,\mu_\Gamma)
 S(\ell^+,\ell^-,\delta\Delta,\bar\Delta,\mu_\Lambda) ,
 \nonumber
\end{eqnarray}
where $\hat s_t \equiv (M_t^2-m^2)/m$ and $\hat s_{\bar t} \equiv (M_{\bar
  t}^2-m^2)/m$. Eq.~(\ref{Fthm}) is valid to all orders in $\alpha_s$ and has
power corrections of ${\cal O}(m\alpha_s(m)/Q, m^2/Q^2,$ $\Gamma_t/m, \hat
s_{t,\bar t}/m)$. Here $H_Q$ and $H_m$ are perturbative coefficients describing
the hard scales $Q$ and $m$, as well as the summation of large logarithms from
$Q\gg m\gg \mu_\Gamma$, where $\mu_\Gamma\sim \Gamma_t + Q\Lambda_{\rm QCD}/m+
\hat s_t$. The $B_\pm$ are perturbatively calculable heavy-quark jet functions,
which describe the evolution and subsequent decay of the top/antitop quark to
jets, and include a resummation of large logs between $\mu_\Gamma$ and the soft
scale $\mu_\Lambda$\,\raisebox{-3pt}{$\stackrel{>}{\sim}$} $\Lambda_{\rm QCD} +
 m\Gamma_t/Q+ m\hat s/Q$. A complete resummation of large logs at
next-to-leading order (NLL) was carried out in
Ref.~\cite{Fleming:2007xt}, where the reader can find further details. In
Eq.~(\ref{Fthm}) $m$ and $\delta m$ are specified in a top-resonance
mass-scheme, of which an example known as the jet-mass is discussed below in
section~2. Finally, $S$ is the hemisphere soft-function describing the
soft-radiation between jets. $S$ is perturbatively calculable for $\ell^\pm \gg
\Lambda_{\rm QCD}$ and non-perturbative for $\ell^\pm\sim \Lambda_{\rm QCD}$.
The parameter $\bar\Delta$ is a gap in the soft function~\cite{Hoang:2007vb},
while $\delta \Delta$ indicates that the scheme for this gap is defined so that
both perturbative and nonperturbative contributions are included without
inducing a leading renormalon ambiguity, as discussed below in section~3.

The result in Eq.~(\ref{Fthm}) relates an experimentally measurable hadronic
observable, $d^2\sigma/dM_t^2 dM_{\bar t}^2$,  to the short distance mass
$m$. As an example, consider the peak
position of the invariant mass distribution $M_{t,\bar t} = M^{\rm peak}$.
Schematically this relation has the form
\begin{eqnarray} \label{Mpeak}
 M^{\rm peak} = m + \Gamma_t(\alpha_s + \alpha_s^2 + \ldots ) +
 \frac{Q\Lambda_{\rm QCD}}{m} \,,
\end{eqnarray}
where the perturbative shifts $\sim \Gamma_t(\alpha_s+\alpha_s^2+\ldots)$ can be
calculated from the jet-functions, $B_\pm$, and the nonperturbative shift $\sim
Q\Lambda_{\rm QCD}/m$ is completely determined by the soft-function $S$. Having
a systematic separation of the perturbative and non-perturbative shifts into
$B_\pm$ and $S$ is important for a precision determination of the Lagrangian
mass $m$. In particular the value of the terms in the perturbative series in
Eq.~(\ref{Mpeak}) are related to the choice of mass-scheme for $m$, and are
modified by different scheme choices. Thus, control over the mass-scheme
requires control over these corrections. Note that the non-perturbative shift is
always positive for hemisphere masses, and quite sizeable, $\simeq
1$--$2\,{\rm GeV}$ for typical values of $Q$. In sections 2 and 3 below we
discuss the functions responsible for these perturbative and nonperturbative
shifts in more detail.  Then in section 4 we quantitatively analyze the relation
between $M^{\rm peak}$ and $m$ using Eq.~(\ref{Fthm}).  Finally, in section~5 we
return to implications for the Tevatron mass, and discuss a very useful
mass-scheme for measuring both top and bottom heavy-quark masses, the
MSR-scheme.

\section{Heavy-Quark Jet Function}

Since $\hat s \ll m$ the jet function can be
formulated in the heavy-quark limit with HQET,
\begin{eqnarray} \label{Lh}
  {\cal L}_{\rm HQET} &=& \bar h_v \Big(iv\cdot D-\delta m +
  \frac{i\Gamma_t}{2}\Big) h_v \,.
\end{eqnarray}
Here $\delta m = m^{\rm pole} - m$ encodes the mass-scheme choice, and
$\Gamma_t$ is the total width of the top-quark which suffices since our observable is
inclusive in the decay products. The heavy-quark jet function is defined as the
imaginary part of a $h_v$ propagator connected by a light-like Wilson
line~\cite{Fleming:2007qr}, $B(\hat s,\delta m ,\Gamma_t,\mu)={\rm Im}[ {\cal
  B}(\hat s,\delta m,\Gamma_t,\mu)]$ where
\begin{eqnarray}
 &&\hspace{-0.7cm}
  {\cal B}(\hat s,\delta m,\Gamma_t,\mu) =
 \\
 &&\hspace{-0.7cm}
  \frac{-i}{m} \int\!\!
  \frac{d^4x}{4\pi N_c} \langle 0 | T \bar h_v(0) W_n(0) W_n^\dagger(x) h_v(x) |
  0 \rangle .\nonumber
\end{eqnarray}
At tree level in $\alpha_s$ we have a Breit-Wigner, $B=\Gamma_t/[(\pi m) (\hat
s^2+\Gamma_t^2)]$.  From Eq.~(\ref{Lh}) the jet function obeys the shift
identity ${\cal B}(\hat s,\delta m,\Gamma_t,\mu) = {\cal B}(\hat s-2 \delta m +i
\Gamma_t,0,0,\mu)\equiv {\cal B}(\hat s-2 \delta m +i \Gamma_t,\mu)$. It also
has an RGE $\mu d/d\mu {\cal B}(\hat s,\mu) = \int d\hat s' \gamma_B(\hat s-\hat
s',\mu) {\cal B}(\hat s',\mu)$ where the anomalous dimension has a plus-function
term with the universal cusp anomalous dimension and a $\delta$-function term,
$\gamma_B(\hat s,\mu) = -2 \Gamma^{\rm cusp}[\alpha_s]/\mu [ \mu\theta(\hat
s)/\hat s]_+ + \gamma_B[\alpha_s] \delta(\hat s)$. Summing logarithms from
$\mu_\Gamma$ to $\mu_\Lambda$ gives
\begin{eqnarray} \label{Brun}
 &&\hspace{-0.7cm}
 B(\hat s,\delta m, \Gamma_t,\mu_\Lambda,\mu_\Gamma)\nonumber\\
 &&\hspace{-0.7cm}
 = \int\!\! d\hat s'\,
  U_B(\hat s\! -\! \hat s',\mu_\Lambda,\mu_\Gamma) B(\hat s',\delta
  m,\Gamma_t,\mu_\Gamma) \,,
\end{eqnarray}
which is the function $B=B_+=B_-$ appearing in Eq.~(\ref{Fthm}).
Eq.~(\ref{Brun}) sums all logs that can affect the shape of $d^2\sigma/dM_t^2
dM_{\bar t}^2$~\cite{Fleming:2007xt}. There is some freedom in combining fixed
order results for $B$ at $\mu_\Gamma$ with the RGE in $U_B$.  We define a
counting that elevates the importance of fixed order results
\begin{eqnarray}
 &&\hspace{-0.7cm}
 {\rm LL\!:} \ \ \ \ \  \mbox{$1$-loop $\Gamma_{\rm cusp}$, tree-level matching}\,;
   \\*
  &&\hspace{-0.7cm}
{\rm NLL\!:}  \ \ \: \mbox{$2$-loop $\Gamma_{\rm cusp}$, $1$-loop $\gamma_B$
   and matching} ; \nonumber \\*
  &&\hspace{-0.7cm}
{\rm NNLL\!:} \ \mbox{$3$-loop $\Gamma_{\rm cusp}$, $2$-loop $\gamma_B$
   and matching} \nonumber .
\end{eqnarray}
One-loop results for $B$ and $\gamma_B$ were computed in
Ref.~\cite{Fleming:2007xt}, and two-loop results in Ref.~\cite{Jain:2008gb}. The
three-loop result for $\Gamma_{\rm cusp}$ is known from Ref.~\cite{Moch:2004pa},
so $B$ is known at NNLL. Results for $B$ in moment space have also been
computed~\cite{Aglietti:2006wh,Mitov:2006xs}. A different heavy quark jet
function also occurs in the massive quark form factor, whose anomalous dimension
shares several coefficients in common with $\gamma_B$~\cite{Mitov:2006xs}.

\end{figure}
In order to implement a short-distance mass-scheme and subtract the infrared
contributions related to the pole-mass renormalon we must systematically
expand in $\delta m$ to the same level in
$\alpha_s$ that we determine $B$ itself. Writing
\begin{eqnarray}
  \delta m =  R e^{\gamma_E} \Big\{ \frac{\alpha_s(\mu)}{\pi} \delta m_1
   + \Big[\frac{\alpha_s(\mu)}{\pi}\Big]^2 \delta m_2 \Big\} \,,
\end{eqnarray}
with $R\sim \Gamma_t$, the remaining freedom in specifying the mass-scheme at
two-loop order corresponds to defining $\delta m_{1,2}$. The jet-function itself
can be used to define a jet-mass scheme, $m=m_J(R,\mu)$~\cite{Fleming:2007qr}.
It is convenient to use the position space jet-function $\tilde B(y,\mu)$  so
that $m_J$ has a consistent $\mu$-anomalous dimension~\cite{Jain:2008gb}, and
we define
\begin{eqnarray} \label{dmJ}
  \delta m_J \equiv \frac{R e^{\gamma_E}}{2}\: \frac{d \ln \tilde B(y,\mu)}{d\ln(i
    y)}\, \Big|_{i y e^{\gamma_E}= 1/R} \,.
\end{eqnarray}
This definition for the jet mass is possible for any value of $R$, and the
anomalous dimension in $R$ can also be consistently derived~\cite{Hoang:2008yj}.

In Fig.~\ref{fig:B} (top panel) we show results for Eq.~(\ref{Brun}) using
$R=0.8\,{\rm GeV}$, the jet-mass with reference value $m_J(R,2.0\,{\rm
  GeV})=172\,{\rm GeV}$, $\mu_\Lambda=1\,{\rm GeV}$, and three curves at each of
LL, NLL, and NNLL order corresponding to $\mu_\Gamma=3.3, 5.0,7.5\,{\rm GeV}$.
Convergence by NNLL is evident. In the bottom panel of Fig.~\ref{fig:B} we
compare the pole and jet-mass schemes and show that very good convergence for
the peak position is achieved in the jet-mass scheme.

\section{Hemisphere Soft Function}

The hemisphere soft function is defined by a matrix element of Wilson lines
\begin{eqnarray} \label{Sdef}
 && \hspace{-0.7cm}
 S_{\rm hemi}(\ell^+,\ell^-,\mu) =
  \frac{1}{N_c} \sum_{X_s} \delta(\ell^+ \!-\! k_s^{+a})
  \delta(\ell^- \!-\! k_s^{-b}) \nonumber \\
 &&\hspace{-0.7cm}
 \times \langle 0 | \overline Y_{\bar n}(0) Y_n(0) | X_s \rangle
 \langle X_s | Y_n^\dagger(0) \overline Y_{\bar n}^\dagger(0) | 0 \rangle ,
\end{eqnarray}
where $Y_n^\dagger(0) = P \exp( ig \int_0^\infty ds\, n\!\cdot\! A(ns) )$ and
$\overline Y_{\bar n}^\dagger$ is similar but in the $\overline 3$
representation. Here $k_s^{+a}$ is the sum of all plus-momenta of particles in
$X_s$ in hemisphere $a$, and $k_s^{-b}$ is the sum of all minus-momenta for
particles in hemisphere $b$. Thus the $\delta$-functions in Eq.~(\ref{Sdef}) are
a reflection of the prescription for assigning soft-radiation to the invariant
masses $M_t$ and $M_{\bar t}$. This soft function is
universal~\cite{Fleming:2007qr}, the same function appears in the factorization
theorem for the hemisphere invariant mass distribution as well as the thrust and
heavy jet mass distributions of massless jets~\cite{Korchemsky:1999kt}.

$S(\ell^+,\ell^-,\mu)$ has both perturbative and non-perturbative components,
and a convenient way to account for this is~\cite{Hoang:2007vb}
\begin{eqnarray} \label{Sconv}
 &&\hspace{-0.7cm}
  S(\ell^+,\ell^-,\delta \Delta,\bar\Delta,\mu_\Lambda)  = \int\!\!
  d\ell^{+\prime} d\ell^{-\prime}
  \\
 &&\hspace{-0.7cm}
 \!\! \times S^{\rm part}(\ell^+\!-\!\ell^{+\prime},
  \ell^-\!-\!\ell^{-\prime}, \delta\Delta,\mu_\Lambda) S^{\rm
    mod}(\ell^{+\prime},\ell^{-\prime},\bar\Delta) \,.
   \nonumber
\end{eqnarray}
Here $S^{\rm part}$ refers to a partonic computation of Eq.~(\ref{Sdef}) and
encodes the proper $\mu_\Lambda$ dependence and large $\ell^\pm$ behavior into
$S$. $S^{\rm mod}$ is a model for the non-perturbative $\ell^\pm
\sim\Lambda_{\rm QCD}$ region of $S$. A gap
$\theta(\ell^{+\prime}-\bar\Delta)\theta(\ell^{-\prime}-\bar\Delta)$ is
contained in $S^{\rm mod}$ where $\bar\Delta$ is defined in a scheme specified
by $\delta\Delta(R',\mu)$. The partonic soft-function obeys $S^{\rm
  part}(\ell^+,\ell^-,\delta\Delta,\mu) = S^{\rm
  part}(\ell^+-\delta\Delta,\ell^--\delta\Delta,0,\mu)\equiv S^{\rm
  part}(\ell^+-\delta\Delta,\ell^--\delta\Delta,\mu)$. To avoid a ${\cal
  O}(\Lambda_{\rm QCD})$ renormalon (which has nothing to do with the ${\cal
  O}(\Lambda_{\rm QCD})$ renormalon of quark masses), we must systematically
expand in $\delta\Delta$ to the same level in $\alpha_s$ as we expand $S^{\rm
  part}$~\cite{Hoang:2007vb}. We write
\begin{eqnarray}
  \delta \Delta =  R' e^{\gamma_E} \Big\{ \frac{\alpha_s(\mu)}{\pi} \delta \Delta_1
    + \Big[\frac{\alpha_s(\mu)}{\pi}\Big]^2 \delta \Delta_2 \Big\} \,.
\end{eqnarray}
Removing the renormalon with $\delta \Delta$ avoids having to make large changes
to $S^{\rm mod}$ each time an additional order in $\alpha_s$ is included in
$S^{\rm part}$.  Much like Eq.~(\ref{dmJ}) we can define $\delta\Delta$ with the
position space soft function~\cite{Hoang:2008fs}, which yields a scheme for
$\bar\Delta(R,\mu)$ with a consistent RGE in $\mu$ and $R$
\begin{eqnarray} \label{dDelta}
 \delta\Delta = R' e^{\gamma_E} \frac{d\ln \tilde S_{\rm
     part}(x_1,x_2,\mu)}{d\ln(ix_1)} \Big|_{i e^{\gamma_E} x_{1,2}  =1/R'}.
\end{eqnarray}
Results for $S^{\rm part}(\ell^+,\ell^-,\delta\Delta,\mu)$ are known at one-loop
order~\cite{Fleming:2007xt} and two-loop order~\cite{Hoang:2008fs}, and for the
thrust soft-function in Refs~\cite{Schwartz:2007ib}.

\begin{figure}[t!]
\includegraphics[width=15pc]{Softfn}
\vspace{-0.8cm}
\caption{Diagonal hemisphere soft function up to NNLO order in the
  $\delta\Delta=0$ scheme and scheme from Eq.~(\ref{dDelta}). Plot
  from~\cite{Hoang:2008fs}.}
\label{fig:S}
\vspace{-0.5cm}
\end{figure}
In Fig.~\ref{fig:S} we compare results for Eq.~(\ref{Sconv}) at LO (black), NLO
(blue), and NNLO (red), in the $\delta\Delta=0$ scheme (dotted \& dot-dashed)
and in the $\bar\Delta$-scheme (dashed \& solid). For $S^{\rm mod}$ we use the
2d-exponential model of Ref.~\cite{Korchemsky:2000kp} with the addition of the
gap $\bar\Delta$.  The negative dips at small $\ell$ that are present in the
$\delta\Delta=0$ scheme, are removed in the renormalon free $\bar\Delta$-scheme,
and a stable result is obtained for the peak-position of the soft function.

\section{NLL $e^+e^-\to t\bar t$ Cross-Section}

We now proceed to put together all the ingredients in Eq.~(\ref{Fthm}) at NLL
order~\cite{Fleming:2007xt} (since the full NNLL results have not yet been
published). The cross-section depends on $\mu_Q\sim Q$, $\mu_m\sim m$,
$\mu_\Gamma$, and $\mu_\Lambda$, and the dependence on these four
renormalization scales is reduced from LL to NLL order. The largest variation
occurs for $\mu_\Gamma$ and $\mu_\Lambda$, but is highly correlated. It becomes
significantly smaller if we vary fixing $\mu_\Gamma/\mu_\Lambda =Q/m$, which
is consistent with the scaling given below Eq.~(\ref{Fthm}).
Fig.\ref{fig:sig} (top panel) shows the invariant mass distribution for
$M_t=M_{\bar t}$ where the three curves at each order have $\mu_\Gamma=3.3, 5.0,
7.5\,{\rm GeV}$ and the same reference top-mass of $172\,{\rm GeV}$ was used as
in Fig.~\ref{fig:B}.
\begin{figure}[t!]
\includegraphics[width=17pc]{sigNLL}
\centerline{ \includegraphics[width=14pc]{sigpeak} }

\caption{Diagonal invariant mass distribution at LL and NLL order (top). Peak

 bands linear extrapolations to $Q/m\to 0$.
  Plots from~\cite{Fleming:2007xt}.}
\label{fig:sig}
\vspace{-0.5cm}
\end{figure}
The ${\cal O}(\Lambda_{\rm QCD})$ renormalons associated to the pole-mass and
the partonic soft-function, both would cause bigger shifts to the location of
the invariant mass peak than the difference ($\simeq 0.15\,{\rm GeV}$) between
LL and NLL order shown in Fig.~\ref{fig:sig}.  Thus using mass and gap schemes
that avoid these renormalons was important to obtain perturbative stability. The
largest correction to $M_t^{\rm peak}-m$ is due to the soft radiation, which
causes the majority of the difference between the dashed and solid vertical
lines of Fig.\ref{fig:sig} (top panel). The advertised shift, $\propto
Q\Lambda_{\rm QCD}/m$, is demonstrated in Fig.~\ref{fig:sig} (bottom) where we
show that linear dependence on $Q$ occurs for six different models for $S^{\rm
  mod}$. For all models the extrapolations to $Q/m\to 0$ converge to the
underlying Lagrangian mass value $m$. In an $e^+e^-$ environment the correction
$M_t^{\rm peak}-m$ can be determined a) from measurements of $S$ for massless
jets that together with perturbative computations determine the shift as in
Fig.~\ref{fig:sig} (top), or b) from measurements at different $Q$'s with a
linear extrapolation that removes the soft-radiation effect as in
Fig.~\ref{fig:sig} (bottom).

\section{Implications for the Top Mass in MC programs and the
  Tevatron Top Mass}

The situation at high energy hadron colliders is somewhat different from
$e^+e^-$ collisions due to the more complicated initial state and because the
jet algorithms needed for the reconstruction of the invariant mass distribution
are implemented in terms of MC programs rather than a factorization theorem.
Nevertheless, the principles upon which final state interactions in MC's for
tops are based, have close analogues with elements in the factorization
theorem~(\ref{Fthm}). These analogies make it obvious that the top quark masses
contained in MC programs, which are measured at the Tevatron and LHC, are very
similar to the jet mass definition we discussed above. Moreover, the Tevatron
top mass measurements are statistically dominated by the reconstructed invariant
mass distribution in the peak region, which allows more reliable statements to
be made about the scheme of the Tevatron top mass.

The final state shower in MC's describes the perturbative aspects of collinear
and soft radiation of partons. Starting at transverse scales of order the
momentum transfer of the primary partons the parton shower evolves the system
down to the shower cutoff scale $R_{sc}$ which is typically in the 1~GeV range.
For the top quark the width $\Gamma_t\approx 1.5$~GeV provides an additional
natural shower cutoff for radiation off the top quark. In the factorization
theorem~(\ref{Fthm}) the same physics is described by the renormalization group
running of the factors $H_Q$ and $H_m$, the partonic contributions in the soft
function and, in particular, the jet functions $B_\pm$. As far as the question
of the mass scheme implemented in MC's is concerned, the analogue of the shower
cutoff $R_{sc}$ is the modification of the jet functions $B_\pm$ due to the
residual mass term $\delta m$, which subtracts low-energy fluctuations of the jet
functions, absorbing them into the mass definition. It is therefore the
implementation of the parton shower for the top quark and the size of the shower
cutoff $R_{sc}$ which determines the top mass definition used in the MC's.

Another important ingredient of MC's is the description of nonperturbative
effects in the hadronization process through models that depend on many
parameters. These are fixed from reference processes. For the factorization
theorem~(\ref{Fthm}) the analogue of the hadronization models is the soft
function which can be determined from event-shapes involving light quark jets.
We note that at hadron colliders the treatment of nonperturbative
effects is more involved due to the partonic initial state, and does
not necessarily lead to a positive shift of the peak position.

For hadron collisions at the Tevatron and the LHC there are
additional complications due to for example underlying events, more involved
combinatorial background and initial state showers. However, if such effects
are modeled correctly in the MC's they do not affect the correspondences
mentioned above. We therefore conclude that
the top quark mass that is implemented in MC's has the property
\begin{eqnarray}
\label{mcmassdef}
 \delta m_t^{\rm MC}(R_{sc}) = R_{sc} \Big[\frac{\alpha_s(\mu)}{\pi}\Big] +\ldots
\end{eqnarray}
with $R_{sc}\sim \Gamma_t\sim 1$~GeV. The exact coefficients in the series on
the RHS depend on how the parton shower is implemented and are currently
unknown.  However, it is reasonable to assume that they are of order one.
Numerically, the MC masses are therefore quite close to the jet mass scheme
defined in~(\ref{dmJ}) for which $R\sim R_{sc}$ or to any other short-distance
mass scheme that falls in the category of~(\ref{mRdef}) with $R\sim R_{sc}$.

A good way to illustrate the numerical size of the scheme uncertainty due to the
ignorance of the coefficients in~(\ref{mcmassdef}) is the associated uncertainty
in the $\overline{\mbox{MS}}$ top mass $\overline m_t(\overline m_t)$. This
uncertainty is essential for fits of electroweak precision observables and the
resulting indirect Higgs mass bounds. To avoid large logarithms in the
perturbative relation of the MC or the jet mass (with $R\sim 1$~GeV) and the
$\overline{\mbox{MS}}$ mass (with $R\sim m_t$), one can use the evolution
equation in $R$ from Ref.~\cite{Hoang:2008yj}.  Conversions involving the
$\overline{\mbox{MS}}$ mass $\overline m_t(\overline m_t)$ are particularly
simple when the R-evolution is carried out with the MSR-mass scheme $m_t^{\rm
  MSR}(R)$, which is a short-distance mass scheme that also falls in the
category of~(\ref{mRdef}) and has in addition the property $m_t^{\rm
  MSR}(m_t^{\rm MSR})=\overline m_t(\overline m_t)$.  The MSR mass definition is
obtained from the $\overline {\rm MS}$-pole series by a simple replacement
rule~\cite{Hoang:2008yj}.  We can identify the MSR mass at a low scale $R$ in
the 1~GeV range with the mass that is contained in MC programs,
\begin{eqnarray}
\label{mteverror}
m_t^{\rm MC}(R_{sc}) \, = \, m_t^{\rm MSR}(3^{+6}_{-2}~\mbox{GeV})
\,.
\end{eqnarray}
The variation of $R$ between 1 and 9~GeV parameterizes our remaining ignorance.

\begin{figure}[t!]
\includegraphics[width=17pc]{TopConversion2}
\vspace{-1cm}
\caption{Converting the Tevatron top mass into the $\overline {\rm MS}$ scheme
  using the MSR scheme.}
\label{fig:M}
\vspace{-0.5cm}
\end{figure}

We now identify $m_t^{\rm MC}(R_{sc})$ with the Tevatron measurement $m_t^{\rm
  tev}=172.6\pm 0.8(stat) \pm 1.1(syst)\,{\rm GeV}$~\cite{Group:2008nq}.  The
result for $\overline m_t(\overline m_t)$ is illustrated in Fig.~\ref{fig:M}.
The vertical error bars on the Tevatron mass are the experimental uncertainties
and the horizontal error bars reflect the current scheme uncertainty due to
Eq.~(\ref{mteverror}).  The three red lines show the 3-loop R-evolution of the
scheme uncertainty with the MSR mass. The intersection of the red lines with the
black line that shows the equation $m_t^{\rm MSR}(R)=R$, gives the
$\overline{\mbox{MS}}$ top mass $\overline m_t(\overline m_t)=163.0\pm
1.3^{+0.6}_{-0.3}$~GeV~\cite{Hoang:2008yj}. Here the first error is the combined
experimental one, and the second error is from the scheme uncertainty in the
Tevatron mass.

The above correspondence between the shower MC and the factorization theorem is
compelling for large $p_T$ events where top quarks are fast.  A potential
concern is that tops at the Tevatron are produced with predominantly small $p_T$
and are therefore slow.  However given that the MC framework applies to this
situation, the concept of the top-mass intrinsic to the MC should be independent
of whether the MC is applied to energetic tops or to soft tops, and hence the
correspondence we have discussed should be applicable for the Tevatron as well.
Further study of this is warranted.

Beautiful ladies posing for the camera!
As the world grows, more and more brands are emerging; the cheaply produced, mass manufactured clothing and the very expensive designer brands, both of which have the financial backing to invest into widespread advertising, expensive celebrity presence and can take the brunt of unsold ready stock. The bigger picture seems rosy yet the innards are of intense competition, cutthroat measures and a deep distrust of others.
In the middle of all this, smaller businesses which are new, trying to make a mark most often tend to get stamped out because most don't have the starting capital to sink into expensive marketing plus the importance given to a "brandname" has led to apprehension to try products made by someone new in the market.
This was the point that Krupa of Ishtyleawhile and I had always found was crucial to be addressed. Hence, we decided to create a platform that would be geared solely at creating awareness & discovering startup brands, their products and one that spoke of the passion behind the work they do.
Kashish means attraction. Frankly it is a name that is as beautiful as the meaning it holds and considering both Krupa and I love discovering & trying out new products and meeting new people (basically I am like a magpie who loves shiny things), the name fit perfectly!
Our goal was for Kashish to display handcrafted products by small business, independent women and zero established brands. We set about reaching out to various women entrepreneurs who were just launching or had recently launched their brands across bakes, jewelry, sarees, sweets and the venue was my studio so I got to display some of my handmade designs too.
We had a contest online where 2 lucky ladies got to be styled from makeup to saree draping to being put into some of my custom designed blouses and being part of a photoshoot, man it was a fabulous day!
TheMadBaker - Her alcoholic cakes and custom designed cakes are to die for and I am definitely going to her hereafter!
AnishJewelry - Nisha makes some stunning silk thread jewellery among others.
Fudge Galaxy - Anupama makes some killer fudges!
D Organics - they create some of the nicest organic skincare ever!
Anita of Luxefacemakeover did a wonderful job of the makeup, Krupa did a fabulous saree draping job, Rajashree gave us semiprecious jewellery to wear and the beautiful ladies wore them and posed for the shoot like pros for Nalini & Surya who did a top job of covering the whole event!
Kashish has taught us a lot and is just the first step in a long and successful journey to create a surefire place for new brands to get their spotlight. Thank you to all those who participated and those who visited, we are planning the next bigger and better!

Q: MSI Installer error 2203; how to force permissions on installer directory? [Cross-Posted on StackOverflow.com as well because the question relates to development. Feel free to let me know where it best belongs.]
Hi all,
I'll try to bullet-point to keep it short:
Background / Issue

*

*Trying to install ASP.NET MVC 3 RC on my Windows 7 machine.

*Uninstalled other versions of MVC (2 and 3 Beta 1).

*Ran the installer -- got a generic error, 2203.

*Log files said that it was a permissions error on C:\Windows\Installer.

*Checked C:\Windows\Installer -- sure enough, it's marked as read-only.

*I un-checked "Read-Only" in the folder properties and applied. It appears to open the dialog and apply to all files.

*However, when clicking properties again, the read-only box is backed to checked.

*Checked the security tab of the folder -- both system and the Administrators group have full access.

*I checked ownership -- the Administrators group is listed as an owner.

*Verified that I'm in the system as an Administrator (in fact, the only account in the Administrators group besides Administrator).

So, what gives? Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!

A: Right click on the installer package and select "run as administrator", see if it installs now.
Windows 7 User accounts are limited admin accounts, not full admin accounts like they were in XP.

A: The end solution ended up being to take over ownership of the files (twice), and change the attributes (twice). Not sure why that procedure worked, but it did, so I'm not going to question it. :)

PHOENIX — As Arizona's boating season continues, the Arizona Game and Fish Department reminds all watergoers to practice boating safety by always wearing a life jacket and operating your watercraft at safe speeds while on the water.
The reminder comes following a deadly head-on collision between two boats north of Lake Havasu on Saturday evening. The two boats, one carrying 10 people and the other carrying six, collided between Pirates Cove and Topock Marina, sinking both boats and ejecting everyone into the water, according to the Mohave County Sheriff's Office.
None were wearing life jackets and multiple people were injured. Three people died and officers from multiple agencies, including AZGFD, continue to search for one other.
The U.S. Coast Guard reported that in 2017 there were 4,291 recreational boating accidents, involving 658 deaths nationwide. In cases where the cause of death was known, 76 percent of fatal boating accident victims drowned and of those, 84.5 percent were not wearing a life jacket.
In addition to ensuring people are wearing a life jacket, boat and watercraft owners should routinely check to see that their life jackets are in good condition, that they are the right size and fit for your passengers. On average in Arizona, life jackets should be replaced every five years.
Remember that state law requires that anyone 12 and under must wear a life jacket at all times when the vessel is underway and there should be one life jacket aboard for every passenger, including canoes and kayaks.
And don't forget that a throwable flotation device — usually a cushion with handles or a ring buoy — is required for all watercraft longer than 16 feet, excluding canoes and kayaks.
The Arizona Game and Fish Department also recommends that watercraft operators and their passengers take a free boating safety course in Phoenix and Lake Havasu City to learn the information and tips needed to stay safe while on the water. For more information on boating safety or to register for a hands-on or online safety course, visit www.azgfd.com/Education/Boating.

OB/Gyn > Abortion
Biden Seeks More Info on Medication Abortion Barriers
— Executive order gives cabinet secretaries 60 days to submit report
by Joyce Frieden, Washington Editor, MedPage Today January 23, 2023
WASHINGTON -- President Biden signed an executive order Sunday giving three members of his cabinet 2 months to report to a White House task force on the barriers U.S. women face when trying to receive a medication abortion.
"Since the day of the Supreme Court's decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization, President Biden has emphasized the need to protect access to mifepristone, a drug used in medication abortion that has been approved by the FDA for over 20 years and accounts for the majority of all abortions in the United States," the White House said in a fact sheet. "Some state officials have taken steps to try to prevent women from legally accessing medication abortion and to discourage pharmacies from becoming certified by the FDA. Today, President Biden will sign a Presidential Memorandum to further protect access to medication abortion."
Previously, patients could only be prescribed mifepristone during an in-person visit, but during the COVID-19 pandemic, the FDA eased the rules to allow the drug to be prescribed via telehealth. In addition, a change to the Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS) for mifepristone announced by the FDA this month permanently removed the in-person dispensing requirement, President Biden noted in a memo Sunday to the attorney general and the secretaries of Health and Human Services and Homeland Security.
"Additionally, pharmacies can now choose to become certified to dispense mifepristone to patients," he wrote. "These changes seek to reduce the burden on the healthcare delivery system while ensuring the benefits of the medication outweigh the risks. These changes also help ensure that patients can access mifepristone similarly to how they would access other prescribed medications."
"In the wake of the new REMS for mifepristone, there have been reports of efforts to suppress access to medication abortion," the president continued. "Some state officials have announced that they will impose restrictions to limit access to this evidence-based, safe, and effective medication."
"In a letter to the FDA, for example, 22 state attorneys general threatened to enforce state laws that purport to interfere with access to mifepristone," the memo said. "In Florida, the governor recently said that major pharmacy chains in the state will not offer mifepristone. Florida health officials issued guidance discouraging pharmacies from dispensing mifepristone, claiming that State law limits where abortion medication can be provided to hospitals, clinics, or physician offices. These actions have stoked confusion, sowed fear, and may prevent patients from accessing safe and effective FDA-approved medication."
Biden's executive order directed the attorney general and the two secretaries to consider issuing guidance for patients seeking legal access to mifepristone, and for pharmacies and other providers who want to dispense the drug. He also ordered them to provide to the White House's Interagency Task Force on Reproductive Healthcare Access within 60 days information on "potential barriers faced by patients seeking legal access to mifepristone or other reproductive healthcare, as well as by providers and entities, including pharmacies," that provide the drug, and to report on "whether any additional institutional resources may be necessary to address these barriers."
Also on Sunday, Vice President Harris spoke in Tallahassee, Florida at an event to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, the 1973 Supreme Court decision that legalized abortion nationwide; that decision was overturned in June by the Dobbs decision, which returned regulation of abortion to the states. Abortion is currently unavailable in 14 states, and courts have temporarily blocked enforcement of bans in eight others as of Dec. 12, 2022, according to the Guttmacher Institute, a pro-abortion rights research and policy organization.
"Today, on what would have been its 50th anniversary, we speak of the Roe decision in the past tense," Harris said. "Because last June the United States Supreme Court took away that constitutional right, a fundamental right, a basic freedom, from the people of America, from the women of America. The court's action has meant already that many dedicated doctors and nurses now lose their ability to care for their patients -- that providers go to jail just for doing their job. And that patients are denied critical care, and even fear that they will be punished simply for seeking care."
"The right of every woman in every state in the country to make decisions about her own body is on the line," Harris said. "Republicans in Congress are now calling for an abortion ban at the moment of conception nationwide. How dare they?"
"America is the land of the free and the home of the brave," she said. "But let us ask: can we truly be free if a woman cannot make decisions about her own body? Can we truly be free if a doctor cannot care for her patients? Can we truly be free if families cannot make intimate decisions about the course of their own lives?"
Pro-life groups panned Harris's speech. "The Biden-Harris agenda of abortion on demand up to the moment of birth is deeply out of touch in the Dobbs era," SBA Pro-Life America President Marjorie Dannenfelser said in a statement. "The strong majority of Americans reject pro-abortion extremism ... Vice President Harris could not have set up a starker contrast between the radical abortion lobby and the compassion and common sense of the American people."
