Graham Regional Medical Center is excited to announce the full-time orthopedic practice of Michael Hay, M.D. Dr. Hay's office hours are Mon-Fri, 8am to 5pm. The orthopedic clinic is located inside Graham Regional Medical Center's front entrance in the specialty clinic. To schedule an appointment please call (940) 521-5360. General orthopedics include major joint replacement, trigger finger release, carpal tunnel syndrome and much more. Please review the information below for a look at joint replacement surgery.
It's Time to Take Back Your Life
You have taken the first step toward taking back your life from joint pain.
This handout will help you decide and prepare for joint replacement surgery.
Getting Moving Again
It may come as a surprise to you that total joint replacement patients are usually encouraged to get up and start moving around as soon as possible after surgery – as early as the day of surgery. When you are, medically stable, the physical therapist will recommend certain exercises for the affected joint. Physical therapy is a key part of recovery. The more quickly a joint replacement patient gets moving again, the more likely he or she will regain independence. To ease the discomfort the activity will initially cause, pain medication is recommended prior to therapy. In addition, the physical therapist will discuss plans for rehabilitation following hospital discharge.
Life after Total Joint Replacement
The vast majority of individuals who have joint replacement surgery experience a dramatic reduction in joint pain and a significant improvement in their ability to participate in the activities of daily living. However, joint replacement surgery will not allow you to do more than you could before joint problems developed. Your physician will recommend the most appropriate level of activity following joint replacement surgery.
In the weeks following total joint replacement, certain limitations are placed on every patient's activities. After joint replacement, a good rule of thumb is that acceptable physical activities should:
• Not cause pain, including pain felt later
• Not jar the joint, as happens with running or jumping
• Not place the joint in the extremes of its range of motion
• Be pleasurable
What is Joint Replacement Surgery?
Hip replacement involves replacing the femur (head of the thigh bone) and the acetabulum (hip socket). Typically, the artificial with its stem is made of a strong metal, and the artificial socket is made of polyethylene (a durable, wear-resistant plastic).
In total knee replacement, the artificial joint is composed of metal and polyethylene to replace the diseased joint. The prosthesis is anchored into place with bone cement or is covered with an advanced material that allows bone tissue to grow into it. Total joint replacements of the hip and knee have been performed since the 1960s. While the expected life of conventional joint replacements is difficult to estimate, it is not infinite.
Preparing for Joint Replacement Surgery
Preparing for total joint replacement begins weeks before the actual surgery date. In general, your doctor may discuss the following with you:
• Autologous blood donation… while some total joint procedures so not require a blood transfusion, it is possible that you may need blood during or after surgery.
• Exercising under a physician's supervision…it is important to be in the best possible overall health to help promote the best possible surgical experience. Increasing upper body strength is important because of the need to use a walker or crutches after hip or knee replacement. Strengthening the lower body is also key because increasing leg strength before surgery can reduce recovery time.
• General physical examination… patients who are considering total joint replacement should be evaluated by their primary care physician.
• Dental examination… dental procedures such as extractions and periodontal work should be completed before joint replacement surgery to reduce the potential of infection.
• Medications…your doctor can advise you which over-the-counter and prescription medications should not be taken before surgery.
• Stop smoking…to help reduce the risk of post-operative lung problems and improve healing.
• Lose weight… in patients who are obese, losing weight will help reduce stress on the new joint.
• Arrange a pre-op visit… an important opportunity to meet with healthcare professionals at the hospital to discuss your personal hospital care plan.
• Laboratory tests… blood tests, urine tests, an EKG or cardiogram, and chest X-ray may be prescribed to confirm that you are fit for surgery.
Evaluate post-surgical needs for at-home care… every patient who undergoes total joint replacement will need help at home for the first few weeks.
What You May Experience the Day of Surgery
Every hospital has its own particular procedure, but total joint replacement patients can expect their day-of-surgery experience to follow this basic routine:
• Arrive at the hospital at the appointed time
• Complete the admissions process
• Final pre-surgery assessment of vital signs and general health
• Final meeting with anesthesiologist and operating room nurse
• Start IV (intravenous) catheter for administration of fluids and antibiotics
• Transportation to the operating room
• Joint replacement surgery – generally lasts 1 to 2 hours
• Transportation to a recovery room
• Ongoing monitoring of vital signs until condition is stabilized
• Transportation to individual hospital room
• Ongoing monitoring of vital signs and surgical dressing
• Orientation to hospital routine
• Evaluation by physical therapist
• Diet of clear liquids or soft foods, as tolerated
• Begin post-op activities taught during pre-op visit
In the days following surgery, your condition and progress will continue to be closely monitored by your orthopaedic surgeon, nurses, and physical therapists. Much time will be given to exercising the new joint, as well as deep breathing exercises to prevent lung congestion. Gradually, pain medication will be reduced, the IV will be removed, diet will progress to solids food, and you will become increasingly mobile.
Whether you are sent directly home or to a facility that assists in rehabilitation will depend on your physician's assessment of your abilities.
Potential Risks
The complication rate following joint replacement surgery is very low. Serious complications, such as joint infections, occur in less than 2% of patients. Nevertheless, as with any major surgical procedure, patients who undergo total joint replacement are at risk for certain complications – the vast majority of which can be successfully avoided and/or treated. Infection may occur in the wound or within the area around the new joint. Following surgery, you will receive antibiotics to help prevent infection. You may also need to take antibiotics before undergoing even minor medical procedures to reduce the chance of infection spreading to the artificial joint. Blood clots can result from several factors, including the patient's decreased mobility following surgery, which slows the movement of the blood. There are a number of ways to reduce the possibility of blood clots, including:
• Blood thinning medications (anticoagulants)
• Elastic support stockings that improve blood circulation in the legs
• Plastic boots that inflate with air to promote blood flow in the legs
• Elevating the feet and legs to keep blood from pooling
• Walking hourly
Pneumonia is always a risk following major surgery. Ask your doctor for a complete list of risks.

It's no wonder that I cannot love,
I've not been loved myself
And in the hour of misery
No one thought or cared for me.
I sit here, tearful
Briny-eyed... How long I've been;
Nought but a chamber...repository for my heart
Which to this day lies empty and untouched.
No wonder why I cannot care
You see, I lack the heart to spare...
One that grows by being loved,
It's no longer than the tear of a dove.

Think of all the cookie varieties in the world. There has to be a different cookie for every kind of personality, don't you think? I sure do! What looks to you like a baked confection of flour, butter, sugar, and egg is actually an entire little universe every bit as complex as each one of us. Okay, that's a slight exaggeration. But don't you think your favorite cookie says something about you? Choose wisely -- which one is your favorite?
you're probably right about the oatmeal cookies, I am a goody-toe shoes. Yum.
I love chocolate chip cookies
Um, what about Peanut Butter cookies?
Thank you for introducing me to the alfajor! I have arequipe in the pantry and plan to whip up some shortbread cookies ASAP so I can fill them w the arequipe and scarf them down!! Woohoo :o)

Nah, I wouldn't say I was disappointed with them per say. I just prefer the clear lens LED's as you can generally tell when they are or aren't on in broad daylight. I hadn't powered these up yet, but after having done that, they do put out a good amount of light for desktop use.
Here's a picture of my 10 yr old son wearing it, he soldered it together himself. I bought the kit for him to solder, as I've been looking for something novel like this for him to get more soldering experience on.
Thanks for the great kit.

This adults-only, luxury all-inclusive property with 507 rooms appeals to both 20- and 30-something couples. A particular draw of this resort is its proximity to the nightlife of downtown Playa del Carmen, especially bustling 5th Avenue, with the party-oriented will appreciate. But the gorgeous stretch of beach and the sophisticated rooms with two-person jetted tubs means romantic-minded couples will be pleased here as well. The range of features is, unsurprisingly, extensive, including seven restaurants and seven bars, an Olympic-sized pool, a wedding center, a spa, and daily entertainment.
The 672-room Grand Riviera Princess All Suites Resort and Spa is a hacienda-like big resort outside of Playa del Carmen. There are a plethora of options: nine bars, seven restaurants, 12 pools, and a variety of sports on-site (tennis, scuba lessons, a fitness center, and more). The resort is meticulously manicured and laid out around a network of pools and outdoor lounge areas. Multiple guests have noted that upgrading to platinum status can significantly cut check-in time and provide access to more desirable rooms. Rooms are contemporary and chic with modern bathrooms; some rooms are swim-out. There is a spa with indoor pool and big fitness center, but there's a fee for internet and the buffet restaurants receive mixed reviews.
Royal Suites Yucatan is a medium-size resort within a much larger complex, the Royal Suites Palladium; guests can choose to frequent the neighboring affiliated properties and use their services, including their bars and restaurants. Some have remarked that the overall atmosphere of this particular property is on the quiet side, but it is still known to overbook. The Royal Suites Palladium is popular with older couples and adults, and the Royal Suites Yucatan was designed specifically for adults. The rooms receive favorable reviews for cleaniness and comfort, but a number of reviewers have noted that room cleaning during a stay can be spotty. Perks include a lovely outdoor pool and a large, modern spa.
Desire Resort & Spa is an all-inclusive, couples-only, clothing-optional resort that attracts a range of couples, from older married couples to young nudists to swingers. This is a place only for those interested in a raucous vacation (sex is allowed in some public spaces, such as the whirlpool area and the Sin Room) -- but as a four-pearl resort, it offers a wide array of amenities: There is a nice pool and a large whirlpool (both with ocean views), a well-equipped fitness center, a small spa with treatments for two, and four restaurants. But rooms are a little smaller than at other similarly billed hotels, and the explicit sexual atmosphere is not for everyone.
Hotel B has everything a hotel needs to draw a young, hip crowd: a lounge-y beach, spacious rooms with great amenities, a gorgeous infinity-edge pool, a hopping bar with great mojitos, and yoga classes several times a week. Everything here is trendy, but that doesn't come at the cost of sustainability, social responsibility, or local culture -- the property is decorated top to bottom with traditional Mexican touches with a contemporary twist and crafts made by Mexican artisans. Add this to great rates and a fabulous restaurant, and you've got a resort that's a very attractive alternative to the dozens of all-inclusive properties lining this part of the island.

Recent Activity
tragicallyjuliet asked the Question: any one use and or really like a particular activity moniter?
I was looking at buying an activity monitoring system to track and get an idea of how many calories i really burn in a day, how well i sleep, ect. They all have pros and cons. Does anyone use one they like or have one they didn't like? I would love to hear opinions about activity monitors like the fitbit, BodyMedia fit CORE, Strive and others.
tragicallyjuliet answered the Question: Where to start?
I second Kawaiola, check out the videos the easy ones are really quite easy A LOT easier than P90. also try starting with the shorter work outs and work up to the longer ones. i also highly recommended the cardio work outs they don't tend to be difficult but if you need to stop for a second you can no shame in that. we all start where we start.
tragicallyjuliet commented on GaryK's answer to Calories: Is under just as bad as over:
this is all true but again that is if you are under eating and malnourished. men should maintain on average 1500-2000 cal/day. if you are over 1500 i would not worry about it. Anemia is a condition caused by low iron, cachexia is a starvation condition not a problem if you are eating even a small amount day, bone break down would be caused by a lack of calcium or vitamin D, again if you are eating healthy and are not a women over 50 this should not be a concern. the fatigue is the only one of these symptoms likely to effect you if you are under eating by only 200 cal. if you feel fatigue you may want to try and up your cal but if you are eating your fill and are under your cal/day your body is telling you something there... i would also look over your choices of food. if you are eating a lot of fiber and veggies that might be why you are coming in low but feel full. if you are trying to bulk up you might try more protein...other wise listen to your body.
tragicallyjuliet answered the Question: Are there different ways to join challenges?
It is so cool that you asked this today cause i just figured it out! the nutrition challenges come in 1 by 1 you choose to take the challenge and you have how ever many days to do it. if you are successful then you earn the rewards. the social challenges are for answering or asking questions on the boards. the work out challenges are based on the video you chose. some of the videos have pushup challenge some have squats some have pullups. you can see which challenge a video has by selecting it and seeing which stats pop up on the "work out" tab before you start the work out. you can see what is required by each challenge by clicking the bar where your ranking is displayed. on the right hand side is the box with the awards, it has different tabs for each category. If you scroll your mouse over each one it will tell you what you must do to complete it. except the nutrition ones, cause you can only do the challenge that is offered as far as i can tell. i hope that is helpful.
tragicallyjuliet completed a nutrition challenge.
I successfully completed the Take Your Daily Multi-V challenge.
tragicallyjuliet answered the Question: Weight & calories & meal plans
If you want to use the daily burn calorie counter you can find it here https://tracker.dailyburn.com/v
and if you follow the meal plan laid out here you can keep track of it there. there are also better trackers out there. my favorite is http://caloriecount.about.com/
but myfitnesspal is also good. both have apps for your phone which you can scan bar codes of your food to log it and things like that.
tragicallyjuliet commented on lancesells' answer to any one use and or really like a particular activity moniter? :
so how do you measure calories or your biking?
tragicallyjuliet asked the Question: any one use and or really like a particular activity moniter?
I was looking at buying one and they all have pros and cons does anyone use one they like or have one they didn't like. I would love to hear opinions about activity monitors like the fitbit and others.
tragicallyjuliet answered the Question: I notice I get lightheaded after my workouts. Any idea why?
could also be blood toxicity. when you work out you build up toxins in your blood from the break down of muscle tissue. sometimes when people first start working out they feel sick after a really strenuous work out. its the same reason people through up some times during a really tough work out. i hope by now it's cleared up
tragicallyjuliet answered the Question: Age old question but I don't know the answer: sugar in fruit, good or bad?
no one ever got fat on fruits and veggies
tragicallyjuliet answered the Question: Views on my daily diet
how has this been working for you? looking at it, it doesn't seem horrible though the " protein drink" could be questionable depending on calorie and sugar content. have you tried logging your food to see where you stand on the balance of crabs to protein cause i would also be concerned about over doing protein based on this. just curious if you stuck to this and it has worked out.
tragicallyjuliet answered the Question: Why are this site and the tracker separate? It seems that they should be one and the same. Is there any way to track anything on this site?
there are a lot of really great free tackers out there. here are my favorites the good divers workouts and the calorie burn estimation, the challenges and points motivation and the nutrition are hard to find. I haven't been here long but i really like it so far. I don't however like the tracker at all though it is available for free in a modified form. i like these ones better as they give you more info and have more extensive food information so you don't have to check labels while you are tracking.
tragicallyjuliet answered the Question: Few calories burned
also remember if you are a runner you body is used to running so you may feel less fatigued because your running muscles have a lot of endurance where as when you use weaker muscles during your work outs they will feel it more.

First of all, please do not worry about it - Who, when and how much you tip is entirely at your discretion. Tips are usually given in cash at the end of your holiday to your stateroom Steward, Restaurant Stewards in the Club Dining restaurants, and to any other staff who you feel you wish to reward.
The amount you tip is entirely up to you although, as a guide, P&O recommend a total amount per person (aged 12 and over) of £3.10 per day, which covers all staff who have looked after you during your holiday.
The only exception to this is for passengers travelling on Oceana and Ventura who have opted to enjoy the flexibility of Freedom Dining as, with this style of dining, you may be seated at a different table and served by a different waiter on each occasion. They will therefore add an automatic service charge of £1.60 per passenger, per day to your shipboard account for the Restaurant Stewards.
You will, of course, be able to increase or decrease these charges at your discretion by visiting Reception at any point during your cruise. You can also tip any other staff, including your stateroom Steward, as you feel appropriate.

Wheelchair Use On Board a P&O Cruise Ship
In order to receive the best possible service and advice, please contact Planet Cruise. P&O Cruises require all passengers bringing a wheelchair and/or scooter to travel with a personal assistant / travelling companion in order to assist in any day-to-day tasks and in moving around the ship, as a ship is not always the easiest environment for using a wheelchair and/or scooter.
When booking your cruise, you will be asked if you have any mobility or requirements. Please note that P&O Cruises are unable to provide wheelchairs for passenger use, as all ship's wheelchairs are for emergency use only. For this reason, they will require any passengers who will need the use of a wheelchair and/or scooter during the cruise to supply their own. If you require the use of a wheelchair and/or scooter in order to move around your cabin, you will need to book a wheelchair accessible cabin. You can book a non-adapted cabin if you have some independent mobility and do not use your wheelchair and/or scooter full time. Please note that the non-adapted cabins have narrower doorways and raised thresholds to the bathroom/shower room and are not suitable for full time wheelchair use.
Each of the ships in the P&O Cruises fleet has a number of wheelchair accessible cabins. The positions of these cabins are indicated on the deck plans which can be found in the cruise ship section of the Planet Cruise website. All of the wheelchair accessible cabins feature wide doorways into the cabin and bathroom, as well as sufficient floor space for wheelchair manoeuvrability. All wheelchair accessible balcony cabins feature ramped access to the balcony. The bathrooms in these cabins have a wet-room style shower room with a flush threshold into the cabin and grab rails for shower and toilet.
If you are do not use your wheelchair full time and are able to negotiate the cabin without it, you will be able to travel in one of our non-adapted cabins, but please note that you will need to bring a collapsible wheelchair and/or scooter which must be stored in your cabin when not in use.
When cruising from Southampton, the effortless experience of your P&O Cruises holiday starts before you have even reached the ship. You can rest assured that all of the cruise terminals used by P&O Cruises in Southampton are fully accessible for passengers using wheelchairs. All Southampton terminals have a dedicated check-in desk and accessible toilet facilities, with the majority of cruise terminals featuring lifts and high-level linked walkways to the ships, including P&O Cruises' very own Mayflower Terminal.
If you are bringing a wheelchair and/or scooter on board with you, you must notify Planet Cruise at the time of booking. P&O Cruises will then be able to ensure that the dedicated Mobility Assistance Team will be on hand to offer boarding assistance should you require it.
P&O Cruises can also offer assistance for passengers who are not bringing a wheelchair and/or scooter, but may need wheelchair assistance in order to board the ship. If you do require boarding assistance, please contact Planet Cruise to register your request. This will help P&O Cruises to ensure that they have adequate staff available on the day in order to keep check-in times to a minimum.

Karl Ernst Osthaus believed that people should have access to art and he founded the Folkwang Museum in 1902 – initially not in Essen, but in Hagen. It was only in 1921 that the collection was transferred to the industrial city in North Rhine-Westphalia, where it quickly developed into a world-class museum.
The Folkwang Museum's reputation is founded on its outstanding holdings of 19th century painting and sculpture, classical modernist works, post-1945 art and photography (established as a separate department in 1979). Works by van Gogh, Cézanne, Gauguin and Matisse, the pioneers of modernism, lead into German Expressionism and the various art movements of the 20th century such as Cubism, concrete art, abstract Expressionism, Art Informel and Neo-figurative art. Post-1945 art and contemporary art are represented in works by the American artists Rothko, Newman, Pollock, Reinhardt, Kline, Louis and Stella; works by Soulages, Vedova, Klein and Fontana, and Richter and Palermo complete the impressive collection. There are also contemporary groups of works and installations; video art from 1973 to 1988 can be seen in screenings and presentations, and photography and prints form two further collections. The German Poster Museum, which is also part of the Folkwang Museum, owns one of the world's biggest poster collections, with 340,000 posters from the spheres of politics, business and culture.

Having worked for a long while in an office in a carpet shop, I really wanted to move up and have my own business. I knew that I loved working within the flooring industry but was unsure as how I would manage starting out on my own. I initially met United Carpets at the GMEX centre in Manchester back in January 2005, and the more I met different franchisees and visited various stores, the more I became interested in becoming part of United Carpets. Aylestone Rd in Leicester became available and I left my home town, moved my family and took over in April 2006. I had no knowledge of the city, had no previous links, no business contacts – in fact nothing other than United Carpets.
Now, some years later, I am amazed sometimes – that simply through UnitedCarpets, I have met so many people, established so many business contacts, and succeeded thanks to United Carpets. The initial and subsequent on-going training, the regular meetings, strong marketing support, back up from one-to-one support offered by brand managers have all helped Aylestone Road become the strong and profitable business that it is. I am happy to lead a team of staff that thoroughly enjoy meeting people and serving their needs, we have an exciting range of products that suit most customers and all within a bright, clean and visually appealing store. We all love what we do, no two days are ever the same, and that is the challenge – I took a risk, never regretted it – and can honestly say I have enjoyed every moment of it.

The Catholic Church was once central to Spanish life. But Spain is changing — just like its European neighbours, says the US-based international magazine, Newsweek.
Its article 'The Closing of the Church Door' quotes Ekklesia.
"Three decades ago, just days after Spain's new post-Franco Constitution took effect, the new government promised the Vatican that despite an official separation of church and state it would continue Franco's old practice of financially assisting Spain's Roman Catholic Church until it could stand on its own. Spain is still paying. Through subsidies, exemptions and tax breaks, the government has paid the church an estimated €5 billion per year to fund its schools, and for the upkeep of church property and Catholic facilities in prisons and hospitals.
But the Spanish government is now loosening the binds between the church and the state. Amid growing religious apathy nationwide, Prime Minister José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero in 2006 eliminated the church's exemption from paying the value-added tax, as well as the government's largely symbolic guarantee that it would cover any shortfall between what taxpayers donated to the church and the church's €144 million budget that year. Now he is moving ahead with a series of distinctly secular projects, including introducing sexual-education classes in school...
"In some ways Zapatero's moves are emblematic of a shift around Western Europe. While Islam has become an increasingly large part of Europe's religious world, secularization is also on the rise among Christians. Governments are scrambling to deal with both trends, often by cutting state support for Christian churches, while extending support to other major religions on the premise that by supporting all religions, none enjoys official sanction. Germany, for instance, has long funded Christian-education classes in public schools, and is now extending that support to religious education for others, including Muslims."
"What we're now seeing is the end of what was historically called Christendom in Europe," says Jonathan Bartley, of the British think tank Ekklesia, which analyzes religious and social policies. "This has been the result of large-scale immigration, growth in democracy, a secularizing society and a plurality of religious groups. No longer is there one big church that claims to speak for everyone."

Dan Rutherford has a shot at the governor.
DAN RUTHERFORD, 9-5: There's been good news and bad news for Rutherford recently. The good news is, Rep. Aaron Schock isn't running for governor. Schock was a fellow moderate from Central Illinois, so now Rutherford has that vote to himself. The bad news is, Illinois Republican Party Chairman Pat Brady stepped down because of his support for gay marriage. As a state senator, Rutherford voted for the civil unions bill, and believes that gay rights should not be a defining issue for Republicans. Most Republicans seem to believe it should be, so Rutherford will have to win over right-wingers.

Bills that would lower Vermont's drinking age from 21 to 18 and call on the U.S. Congress not to penalize the state for doing so were the subject of a recent hearing in the Vermont legislature, the Associated Press reported Jan. 21.
The hearing included testimony from John McCardell, the former president of Middlebury College who now heads the group Choose Responsibility and has advocated nationally for lowering the drinking age. McCardell argues that the age-21 law unintentionally encourages unsafe drinking by driving it underground, and that federal law linking enforcement of the age-21 law to federal highway funding has helped stifle debate on the issue.
Arguing against the legislation was David Jernigan, a Johns Hopkins professor who said lowering the drinking age would encourage even younger adolescents to drink.
Some state lawmakers said that the state, not Washington, should be able to choose its drinking age.

Cole Sternberg at David B Smith GalleryJuxtapoz // Friday, 18 Mar 2011
David B. Smith Gallery will be opening Cole Sternberg new solo works, I was here for just a moment, in Denver tonight, Friday, March 19th. The layered text pieces that David B. Smith calls "socio-political art," with each piece containing "underlying statement on human rights, ecology, personal relationships or other subjects of emotional relevance."
Further, "Political statement and strong visuals are what make this work unique. For the last ten years, Sternberg has been challenging his viewers on subjects as varied as pop culture to human rights to the environment. Schooled in the law, and a published author on international law issues, Sternberg's insights into his subject matter give these works a unique twist rarely seen in the arts. The layers upon layers of text and scrawled graffiti are like collaged sound bites - one on top of another - yet every line and stroke with a purpose. Whatever emotional subject initiated the work, the painterly expressionism of the words and broad swaths of strong color make this exhibition one you must see."

March 18—April 9, 2011
Opening Reception: Friday, March 18th, 2011, 7pm - 10pm

Find the Moment of Inertia
View Single Post
Dec3-11, 08:52 PM

I guess you could use parallel axis theorem. You would need to find where the centre of mass is (to determine r in your equation). And you would need to find the inertia around the centre of mass. So you still have a similar problem, so I don't think parallel axis theorem helps much.
I think you should try thinking differently about the problem. You want to find the moment of inertia around the pivot point. You are told the moment of inertia due to the rod and you can work out the moment of inertia due to the point particle.
So once you have these, you effectively have two moments of inertia which contribute to the total moment of inertia. Do you know how to calculate the total moment of inertia? (Hint, its a simple formula).
Edit: Sorry, I started writing before Delphi51 made the post. I don't mean to be treading on toes. (if that's the right expression...)

Intel China and Chinese search company Baidu.com announced plans on Thursday to jointly develop Internet search applications.
According to terms of the agreement, Baidu and Intel will jointly develop search applications for laptops, mobile phones, and home PCs. The partners didn't disclose the specific areas of search technology where they plan to cooperate.
As part of the deal, Baidu also agreed to use servers based on Intel processors for its back-end systems.
"In addition to PCs, our users will soon be able to access Baidu search services on their handsets and home devices,'' said Jerry Liu, Baidu's chief technology officer, in a statement. The statement did not clarify how these services would be different from Baidu's existing mobile search service.
Specific details of the joint development work will be worked out at a later date, said Leo Wang, an Intel China spokesman.
Baidu.com is the most popular Internet search engine in China. It's nearest rival is Google, which announced plans in March to move its back-end servers from Intel-based systems to servers based on Advanced Micro Devices' Opteron processor, according to a investment bank report.
The announcement of the partnership between Intel China and Baidu.com comes the day after Google officially opened its Beijing research and development (R&D) lab. The lab could house up to 150 engineers by the middle of this year and eventually become the company's largest R&D site outside the U.S., Google said.

Alderson: Getting Wright back by Opening Day a 'realistic' goal
PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. -- Third baseman David Wright took his first swings since suffering an intercostal strain at the World Baseball Classic. After fielding grounders at third base for the second-straight day, Wright hit off a tee in the batting cages, marking another step forward.
"First time I'm hitting, so it's good," said Wright, who felt no pain during his workout.
The Mets captain maintains hopes of achieving his goal: being ready for Opening Day on April 1 against the Padres. Though the season opener is just eight days away, general manager Sandy Alderson believes Wright's goal is still within reach.
"I'm glad it's a goal," Alderson said. "Is it realistic? Yeah, I think it's realistic. I don't think there's any certainty, but it's realistic."
Meanwhile, Alderson reiterated that it's "almost inevitable" that Johan Santana will open the season on the disabled list. He offered no estimate on how long Santana could remain sidelined with fatigue in his ailing left shoulder.
Said Alderson: "I don't want to speculate."
