 yields a higher categorical and higher dimensional generalization of Deligne's
 conjecture on Hochschild cochains and the little 2-disks operad.

-We note that our $n$-categories are both more and less general

-They are more general in that we make no duality assumptions in the top dimension $n{+}1$.

 At several points we only sketch an argument briefly; full details can be found in \cite{1009.5025}. 
 In this paper we attempt to give a clear view of the big picture without getting 
 bogged down in technical details.

 We will define two variations simultaneously,  as all but one of the axioms are identical in the two cases.
 These variations are ``plain $n$-categories", where homeomorphisms fixing the boundary
 act trivially on the sets associated to $n$-balls
