It has been estimated that over 2 million US men have osteoporosis, and another 12 million may be at risk. While morbidity risks from fracture remain significant, and despite updated guidelines from the Endocrine Society, osteoporosis remains an under-treated and under-evaluated in most men. Bisphosphonates remain the predominant therapy for treatment of osteoporosis with the best evidence to minimize fracture risk.
A recent placebo-controlled, phase 3 study sought to investigate the efficacy and safety of denosumab 60mg given every 6 months versus placebo in men with known low bone mineral density (BMD). After 12 months of therapy, 228 men who received denosumab were found to have BMD increases of 5.7% in the lumbar spine and 2.4% in the total hip. Clinical fractures occurred in only 2 (1.7%) and 1 (0.8%) of men in the placebo- and denosumab-treated groups, respectively. There were no reported adverse events of hypocalcemia, and sensitivity reactions occurred in only 3.5% of men.
This study concludes that 60mg of denosumab is similarly effective in men with low BMD, as it has been proven to be efficacious in post-menopausal women as well. The effects of improvement in BMD in this study were independent of gonadal function level, baseline BMD status, age, or estimated fracture risk.

Arguments for a late (2nd century BC) dating:
Anti-Prophetic Argument
Linguistic Argument
Manuscript Evidence
Arguments for an early (6th century BC) dating:
Argument from Tradition
Canon Argument
Linguistic Argument
To give a flavor of the debate over loan words, here is an excerpt from Wikipedia:
More on the linguistics for an early date. It is more proper to say that Hebrew had changed drastically by the 2nd century BC. Lingual shifts had happened but it was still a living language. The most obvious being the word order changed from verb-subject-object to subject-verb-object. It is called Mishnaic Hebrew and the rabbinic writings are full of it. Evidence for Hebrew as a living language throughout the time of Jesus can be found in Understanding the Difficult Words of Jesus. Also, coins have been found from the Hasmonean period (165 BC-37 BC) with Hebrew writing on them. During the time of the Hasmoneans, a Hebrew renaissance was in full swing and a new book written in Aramaic would not easily have been accepted.
The Hebrew in Daniel is perfect for Biblical Hebrew but does not match what was used in Mishnaic Hebrew. Likewise, Aramaic had changed since the time of Imperial Aramaic. The Aramaic in Daniel is perfect for Imperial.
One last indication of the antiquity of Daniel is the style of the apocalyptic sections. Apocalyptic writings changed heavily over the life of the genre, and we have examples of them from throughout the Intertestamental period. Daniel's apoc sections don't have all the pieces we would expect from a late dating.
Further argument for a late date
Not only does Daniel seem able to prophesy events close to the time of 167 BCE accurately, although not the relevant events that occurred shortly after this time, but its narrative around the chronology of the Exile seems flawed. Chapter 8 is in the time of Babylonian rule, then Daniel 9:1 is the first year of Darius, son of Xerxes, who was made king over the Chaldeans (Babylonians). "Made king over the Chaldeans" implies conquest, but it was Cyrus who conquered the Chaldeans. Allowing that "son of Xerxes" could mean descendant of, the first Darius who was a descendant of Xerxes I was Darius II, who lived 423-404/5 BCE, far too late for Daniel.
My conclusion is that i) the book was not written after about 167 BCE, else it would certainly have mentioned those events, nor was it predictive, or once again it would have mentioned those events; ii) it was not written during the Exile or early Persian period, or it would have been at least as accurate regarding events in this period as it was regarding events leading up to 167 BCE.

K-State Announces 2013 Football Recruiting Class
MANHATTAN, Kan. - Head football coach Bill Snyder released Kansas State's 2013 recruiting class Wednesday with the announcement of 32 student-athletes who plan on joining or already are a part of the Wildcat program.
Kansas State's class of 2013 includes 26 players from the high school ranks and six community-college players. Of the group, nine are currently enrolled at Kansas State and will participate in spring practice.
"As we've always maintained, it takes several years to accurately assess the quality of a recruiting class and the young men who represent it," said Snyder. "Hopefully we have assessed the skills, capabilities and intrinsic values of these young people accurately. As always, time will tell. Part of the value of this class lies in the fact that nine of these student-athletes either have been or will be in classes and participate in our out-of-season program and spring practice. We are impressed by the desire of each of these young men to become the best person, best student and best athlete possible as they seem committed to work hard toward that end.
As always, we greatly appreciate the high school and community college coaches, faculty members and administrators throughout the state of Kansas and the United States who have received our coaches and our program so very graciously, and I am especially proud of the Kansas State faculty for their assistance in conveying the great support services and equally great education provided by this University."
The defensive side of the ball boasts 18 players, including seven linebackers, six defensive linemen and five defensive backs. K-State's offensive recruiting haul also includes three offensive linemen, tight ends and wide receivers as well as a pair of quarterbacks. Also included are a place kicker and long snapper, as well as one player listed as an "athlete" who could play on either side of the ball.
As is the case in past years, Kansas State's class of 2013 also continues to show how broad and thorough Snyder and his staff were on the recruiting trail as 10 different states are represented, including 12 players from the state of Kansas, eight from the state of Texas, three from Iowa, two from the states of Missouri and Nebraska, and one each from the states of Arizona, California, Colorado, Louisiana and Oklahoma.

Did paranoid, gun-crazed mother trigger son's school killing spree? Friends say she believed world was on edge of collapse
Nancy Lanza portrayed as 'survivalist' who stockpiled food, water and guns
Honestly, the one way in which the mother could be in some way partly responsible is if she knew that her son was dangerous, and failed to take appropriate steps to keep him from having access to the guns.Given that mental health professionals and folks with M.D. after their name who specialize in how people can be screwed up in the head haven't figured out how to reliably determine if a person is crazy in a dangerous way prior to said person actually hurting people, I think it's doubtful that she could have known to any reasonable degree of certainty.
According to other reports, mom had trained both boys in the use of firearms, and all three went to the range together.This is what most firearms experts recommend as an optimal way to handle the issue of firearms and kids in family context.ER-Doc, there has been talk of Asperger's Syndrome. Is the syndrome actually associated with violence to any appreciable extent?
Interestingly enough, it seems the more recent mass murderers are choosing areas that ban guns, to run amuck in. The school zones are a zero gun tolerance areas, in ct.As for the Batman killer, in Colorado, http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2012/09/10/did-colorado-shooter-single-out-cinemark-theater/It seems he scoped out theaters in advance, to target a Cinemark Theater, that did not allow concealed carry, in their theaters.......to lessen the chance anyone would shoot back.
Canadians love guns, in general. We are hunters, we go to the range, we collect them... Yet concealed carry is banned everywhere & we have very strict gun laws, in terms of acquisition & storage. With the exception of police & the odd thug (who will never follow laws anyway), NO ONE carries guns here. Now I`m not trying to say that there is no crime in Canada, but shootings & armed robbery are not common. We have no such thing as `gun free zones``... The whole country is a gun free zone. I have never feared for my life.I`m not saying, but I`m just saying.
Gun Control, Hmph. In Japan, it's seven years mandatory, for even possession, yet it's little ol' Switzerland, in which it's mandated that everyone in the military reserve have their military weapons at home, that has far, far less gun crimes than either Canada or Japan.So you were saying?BTW. since our Supreme Courts ruled that LEO's (Law Enforcement Officials) are not there for the protection of the people, but are there to enforce the laws of local government, whose there to protect us? Don't forget, in some areas, it's an average of 3 hours for a response to a 911 call. If I remember correctly, over 4 million crimes a year, are neutralized by armed citizens.
This has been bothering me for a while now and I doubt that I'll be able to get it into words adequately, but I'm gonna try anyway.When are we going to come to the realization that we cannot hope to predict, let alone stop every random act of violence before somebody gets hurt?Are we going to now lock up everyone who shows the slightest sign of being mentally, a little off? Or, drug them until they're so stupid all they can do is drool on their shirts? How many lives will be ruined for no good reason on account of this? And the bigger question is, who decides who is dangerous and who is not? The gov't? How long before just disagreeing with this person or panel/agency gets you a little trip to the rest home?The real world has never been a safe place and it never will be. There are bad people out there. Some are openly bad and some turn bad at unpredictable times. The best we can do is realize and accept that sometimes all the precautions, security systems, locked doors, cameras, etc. just aren't enough and there may come a time we are going to be faced with the ultimate dilemma, the police aren't coming, either man up and defend yourself and those you care about, or die. We cannot hope to to prevail in these situations without being armed. We can't afford to stand a cop on every corner. We have to accept that ultimately our safety is our responsibility, prepare accordingly and not let some progressive bed-wetter make believe we will be safe in his "Gun Free Zone".
The U.S. has a violence rate of 466 crimes per 100,000 residents, Canada 935, Australia 92 and South Africa 1,609.
All good points raised by everyone. I just have a different point of view. I don't see the police as ineffective. Plus, Toronto isn't such a scary place after dark... There's a cop on almost every corner & I can walk down the street feeling relatively safe. However... I live in a much much smaller community. I don't lock my house, I leave the keys in my truck... Almost everyone here is like that. Just a different mind-set.
Now the President wants more gun control? gee I already have to get uncle sams permission to buy a firearm what more can they do you ask. I smell a ban coming on.
^ Some might refer to that as "condition white." I'm just sayin...
I didn't say that I don't have guns. & I'm certainly aware of the people & potential hazards around me. I think right here is just a difference between American & Canadian thinking.

I'm flying to Istanbul tomorrow afternoon and would like to know the cheapest way to get from the airport (Ataturk) to the Taksim Square area. I'm sure there are many options and some will be easier or more comfortable but I am on a shoestring budget and sometimes like to do things the hard way as the less wealthy locals might have to.
What's the cheapest transport to get from Ataturk International aiport to the Taksim Square area of Istanbul?
Municpal bus 96T is probably the cheapest, at 3.00 lira (~$2 USD), but it takes very long (~1.5h at times) and is often packed. Havas bus is faster and costs 10 lira (~$6.50 USD).
If you plan to use public transport a lot, buy the Akbil pass (saves a bit of money and you don't need to dig for coins all the time).
The trip is also possible via metro, but involves changing over twice (Zeytinburnu to tram and a short walk at Karakoy to Tunel). This takes 3 tokens (jetons), and costs 3 x 3 = 9 lira (~5 USD), in 2012.
There are three public transport options if you are trying to minimise costs.
The tram line between Zeytinburnu and Kabataş is the worst option, especially if you change lines at Zeytinburnu. It travels very slowly (especially between Zeytinburnu and Aksaray) and it does not travel to Taksim, so you will have to walk uphill or pay for a third fare. The best bet with the tram is to change lines at Aksaray, but this involves the same 5 minute walk as going to the bus stop
If you do take the tram, you can get off at the last stop (Kabataş) and, as mentioned, take the funicular up to Taksim at the north end of İstiklâl street. You can also get off the tram earlier at Karaköy, where there is the two-stop Tünel (Istanbul's 100-year-old metro line) that takes you to the south end of İstiklâl, from where it is a pleasant 20-minute walk to Taksim square. Walking from Karaköy up to İstiklâl is also possible and the road goes right past the Galata Tower.
Using the Istanbulkart (Istanbul's Oyster Card) you can make it to Taksim with 4.75 TL.
Buying 3 Jetons would make 12 TL instead. Using the Istanbulkart is only useful if you use public transportation more than that one time since it costs 6 TL to get the card in the first place.

- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Roll out the pastry on a floured work surface, and use to line the tart pan, letting the pastry hang over the edges. Trim away the excess, line the pastry shell with parchment paper, and fill with pie weights or dry beans. Bake for about 20 minutes until the edges are golden. Remove the weights or beans and paper, brush the bottom of the shell with a little egg wash, and return to the oven for 1-2 minutes to crisp. Remove from the oven and set aside. Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (180°C).
- Heat the oil in a large frying pan over low heat. Add the onion and a pinch of salt, and cook gently for about 5 minutes until soft. Increase the heat slightly, add the bacon, and cook for 5-8 minutes until crispy and golden. Remove from the heat, drain off excess fat as needed, and stir in the tomatoes.
- Spoon the onion and bacon mixture into the pastry shell. Top evenly with the Brie strips, and sprinkle with the chives. Mix together the cream and the 2 eggs. Add the garlic and season well with salt and pepper. Carefully pour over the tart filling. Bake in the oven for 30-40 minutes until set, puffed, and lightly golden. Serve with a crisp green salad.
- Use soft goat cheese instead of Brie.

Back by popular, the AUM School of Liberal Arts will host its second annual gala, A Night Out: On Broadway, on April 4, 6:30 p.m., at the Alabama Activity Center. This year's theme centers on the musical works of brothers George and Ira Gershwin.
The sons of Russian immigrants, Ira and George Gershwin were born two years apart in New York City at the end of the 1800s. Younger brother George was a legendary composer and pianist while Ira was an equally talented lyricist. The brothers collaborated to create some of the most memorable songs of the 20th century, including "Someone to Watch Over Me," "I Got Rhythm" and the music from the Broadway hit "Porgy and Bess."
"The Gershwins' music is so well known that it's part of Americans' DNA," said AUM Dean of Liberal Arts Michael Burger. "Even people who don't remember their names always immediately recognize the Gershwins' songs – and want to sing along. What could be better than to have a really great party on Broadway with the Gershwins? And what better reason to do it than to support students and programs, including our many programs that in turn support our community?"
The evening will include iconic Gershwin music performed by one of America's leading pianists, Leon Bates, with accompanying singers Louise Toppin and Robert Sims. Guests will also enjoy silent and live auctions, hors d' oeuvres, drinks and merriment – and a surprise or two.
Tickets are $100 and sponsorships are available. Proceeds will benefit scholarships and programs in the AUM School of Liberal Arts, which includes the departments of Communication and Dramatic Arts, English and Philosophy, Fine Arts, World Languages and Cultures, History, and Sociology. A portion of the ticket price is tax deductible.

Essar is now processing 11 crude grades at Stanlow, enabling it to take advantage of lower cost opportunities, and it said a new natural-gas supply, to fuel the plant's boilers, will allow more flexibility in the choice of crude oils it processes. Gross refining margins were $8.03/bbl in the period.
By BEN WINKLEY
London-listed Essar Energy said Monday that performance at
its Stanlow refinery has markedly improved since
it took over the northwest England plant last year, as it
benefited from improved margins.
In its group interim report, Essar said its UK refining and
marketing operation recorded earnings before interest,
taxation, depreciation and amortization of $197.2 million in
the six months to Sept. 30, compared with $22.2 million in the
first eight months of ownership to March 31.
Gross refining margins were
$8.03/bbl in the period, compared with $3.10/bbl in the
first eight months of ownership, Essar said.
The company has an objective of adding over $3/bbl to refining margins at Stanlow within
the next two years, and said Monday it's already approaching an
increment of $1/bbl toward that.
Essar is now processing 11 crude grades at Stanlow, enabling
it to take advantage of lower cost opportunities, and it said a
new natural-gas supply, to fuel the plant's boilers, will allow
more flexibility in the choice of crude oils it processes.
Europe's refining industry has endured a
fraught time since the start of the economic crisis in 2008,
since then around 10 refineries have closed or sharply reduced
output as profit margins weakened amid lower demand for
products and higher prices for both crude and credit.
Although margins have been boosted this year in part as maintenance took out a large
proportion of Europe's production capacity in the
spring and autumn, Deutsche Bank, in a recent note to clients,
said it expects a softer margin environment ahead unless more of the
"surplus" capacity is removed from the market.
Most recent data from Euroilstock showed that product stocks
in the EU-15 & Norway region stood at a five-month high at
the end of October.
Essar bought the 296,000-bpd Stanlow refinery from Royal Dutch Shell for
$350 million. More than $800 million in capital was needed to
cover the cost of crude and refined products stored at the
In July, Essar struck an agreement with Barclays that saw the
UK bank agree to buy the inventories of crude and products at
Stanlow, and to supply crude to the refinery in line with its
requirements, to enable Essar's UK unit to repay a revolving
credit facility provided by 13 banks.

It is a really very good result shown by an Indian operator. Congrates for the achievement in such a short time duration.

Incredible performance. However, would like to know what other measures have been taken to improve GRM by $5 per barrel. Surely only low crude cost was not the sole criteria. Further what about the refinery configuration- was it geared up to handle high S, high TAN crude. Interested to know the full story.

Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals. Forcing them to enter design changes using tables, forms and spreadsheets is unproductive and uneconomical, and it increases the likelihood of human error—this is the way that most instrumentation software systems currently work. For too long, software vendors have denied engineers and designers the simple practicality of a graphical visual engineering interface with "drag and drop" capability and inbuilt intelligence, ensuring changes are automatically replicated into all the associated data and databases.

Ok all, Third post since getting into this....Here is my next question and I have looked and searched the forums.
I am trying to find the Nodal Point on a D3s and a 70-200 VR II lens with a NN5 and RD16. Using John's string method to find the bottom rail measurement, I have come up with a 88 to 87. Other have emailed me that a D3 should be 86. I am toooooo new to argue or understand to that is my post question. Is there a difference between 87 and 86?
Finding the upper rail measurement, Johns method of moving left and right +/- 30 degrees makes the lens itself block the visible nodal point viewable in the lens at 0 deg. Should I do it less than 30 degrees left and right? A little help with the longer lenses is I guess what I am asking for too.

In keeping with Street Law's tradition of exposing educationally and economically disadvantaged youth to the practical aspects of the law and government, we have partnered with the Rutgers–Newark Academic Foundations Center to add a legal and governmental studies component to their Consortium for Pre-College Education in Greater Newark program. This new Street Law initiative is called the Summer Enrichment Law Academy (SELA), and it is a six-week summer program in which Newark-area youth will take part in an interactive educational forum intended to empower them through knowledge of the legal issues that affect them, their families, and their communities.
SELA's curriculum will cover the basic workings of government and the democratic process, the understanding of which will enable SELA students to become more responsible and involved members of society. The program will also focus on social skills, professional etiquette, volunteerism, and professional development. Finally, SELA students will be challenged – through exercises in analytical and critical thinking, negotiation and persuasion, and effective communication – to develop skills important to their future academic and professional careers.
Instructors, comprised of Rutgers Law School faculty, administrators, and second and third-year law students, will cover such topics as criminal law, human rights, landlord-tenant law, and consumer fraud. Other areas of study, including reading, writing and math, will be introduced through methods such as mock law school exams, drafting of legal documents, case briefing, and basic federal income tax preparation and filing.
Students will be eligible to attend day trips selected for their academic value, as tied into the lessons taught throughout the program. For example, this year day trips included Washington, DC to enhance what the students learned about copyright and intellectual property law, to Ellis Island to enhance what they learned about Constitutional and immigration law, and to El Museo del Barrio to enhance what they learned about cultural property rights.
Participation in SELA by the students makes them eligible to participate in Rutgers–Newark Academic Foundations Center's Consortium for Pre-College Education and the Saturday Academy.
Law students who participate in SELA will gain practical experience applying their presentation and research skills, learn about the community they are serving, and earn pro bono merit for successfully completing 35 or more hours of service.

High-Speed Crash Near Alturas Kills South Polk Woman, Infant
Published: Friday, November 15, 2013 at 2:57 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, November 15, 2013 at 10:52 p.m.
ALTURAS | A 29-year-old South Polk woman and her 6-month-old son were killed Friday afternoon in a collision along a usually quiet country road near Alturas.
Amanda Renee Hughes was driving north at 2:10 p.m. on 80 Foot Road, just north of Cow Pen Road, when her burgundy Nissan Altima collided with a southbound white Chevrolet Silverado pickup driven by Pedro Castillo Hernandez, 60, of Bowling Green.
Hernandez's vehicle was pulling a flatbed trailer with a small pickup truck on it when the collision occurred.
Hughes, whose infant was in a car seat in the back seat, was driving on a suspended license, said Carrie Eleazer, Polk County Sheriff's Office spokeswoman.
Witnesses told sheriff's deputies the Nissan was traveling at a high rate of speed when the car swerved and Hughes overcorrected. The car began to fishtail and went sideways, crossing into the path of the Silverado.
Hernandez attempted to avoid the crash, according to authorities, but struck the Nissan on the passenger side. The truck hit with such force it pushed the passenger doors through the car until they were nearly touching the doors on the driver's side.
Both vehicles swerved off the road on the west side, with the Nissan twisted around the truck's front end.
Hernandez and his passenger, Veranda Castillo, 55, were treated for minor injuries, according to deputies.
Hughes and her son, Eli Haas, died on impact, deputies said.
Authorities determined the child was strapped into a rear-facing car seat in the back of the Nissan, but they couldn't tell whether the seat was belted into the car because the damage to the vehicle was so extensive.
Deputies reported Hughes was not wearing her seat belt.
Deputies shut down 80 Foot Road for about five hours Friday while they investigated the crash.
Court records show Hughes lived south of Alturas and was arrested in June for knowingly driving on a suspended license because she didn't have car insurance.
Deputies had stopped her on U.S. 17 near Fifth Street Southwest for weaving out of her traffic lane, records show.
The suspended license charge is still pending in Polk County Court.
Court records show she was arrested on similar charges in 2010 and 2012.

(ST. LOUIS) - Columbia College-St. Louis awarded a $500 scholarship to Jeffery J. Goetter of St. Louis in honor of Frank S. Westling. Westling was a former dean of the college's Extended Studies Division, which serves adult learners and military personnel nationwide.
Goetter is a senior computer information systems major and is employed with Anheuser-Busch. He served in the U.S. Air Force for 16 years and is a member of the Ozark Trail Association. The American Hiking Society named Goetter 2004 Missouri Volunteer of the Year.
The scholarship was awarded to one student at most of Columbia College's 30 nationwide campuses. To qualify for the Westling scholarship, applicants had to:
- Complete a scholarship application
- Pursue degree completion with Columbia College
- Have a minimum Columbia College GPA of 3.0
- Have residency of at least 15 hours with Columbia College
- Have a history of leadership and service to their community, school or country
- Write a 400-500 word essay on their achievements and career goals
"Columbia College is proud to offer this scholarship to students at our extended campuses," said Mike Randerson, Columbia College vice president for Adult Higher Education. "Frank Westling was instrumental in establishing the Extended Studies Division to serve working adults and military personnel, and he would be pleased to know the scholarship is helping fulfill the educational goals of students around the country."
Prior to joining the college, Westling served in the U.S. Army for 31 years and retired as a colonel. He was a highly decorated infantry soldier and was awarded the Purple Heart, Bronze Star Medal and Silver Star.
The Westling Scholarship is a nonrenewable scholarship and will be awarded to a new student each year.
Columbia College was founded in Missouri in 1851. Today, the college serves 20,000 students at its Day Campus, Evening Campus, Graduate Program, 30 nationwide campuses and Online Campus.

Green saber (originally possessed by Yoda, given to Qu Rahn for safe keeping, he gave it to Morgan Katarn, who put it in WeeGee to save it for Kyle).
Destroyed by Boc.
Yellow saber. Yun dies saving Kyle's life, because "a Jedi deserves a battle." Kyle takes the yellow saber and uses it to defeat the last three Dark Jedi and fulfills his mission, staying true to the Light Side.
Orange Saber. Not stated, but sometime after the events of JK1, and prior to the events of Mysteries of the Sith Kyle likely constructs his own lightsaber, with an orange blade. He uses it to train with Mara Jade and accomplish many missions for the New Republic. When he almost uses it to kill Mara under the influence of the Dark power of the Sith Temple on Dromuun Kaas, he gives it up, vowing to avoid temptation by giving up the Jedi way.
Blue Saber (not explained, non-in-universe read-between-the-lines explanation is that the new saber colors canon policy prevented Raven from using any colors but green or blue, and since green was already used, they chose blue for aesthetic reasons). This is the saber he gives to Luke, so if we take it at face value he gave up the Orange one and then constructed a new Blue one then gave it up as well. Taking the story as its been going, we can probably assume that they would have used the Orange one if they could have.
Even if we assume that MotS was an anomaly (no reason to, since the events of MotS directly lead into the events of JK2), he still should have Yun's yellow saber.
So the blue saber continues to be the one that Kyle uses today, newly reclaimed in his mission in JK2, motivated by his desire to seek revenge against Desann and Tavion. But the way I play its still his orange one.

This appears to be an issue for all Google Sites users who have mapped domains to the service - strikingly ironic that Google would not even include the capability to specify canonical links.
Per the Add link rel="canonical" issue report (last updated 7/25/2012):
... so it would appear that your best bet would be to set up Webmaster Tools for both domains and use the URL Removal feature on the google.com content.
One issue with using URL removal on Google Webmaster is that the request per URL removed will expire. And when that happens, the Google Site URLs return on search results immediately. often with higher ranks than the www domain urls. You have to go back and re-request the removals frequently and it will take 2-4 hours for the status to go from "pending" to "removed". This is a very tedious and unacceptable approach - but then it seems like there are no alternatives.

The natural function
$$f_k(n) = n^2 \bmod k,\quad f_k(n) \in [0;k-1]$$
has at least the fixpoints $n\in\{0;1\}$ for each $n$, but for some $k$ there are other fixpoints. For instance, $f_{100}$ has the fixpoints $\{0;1;25;76\}$. Apart from trying out every possible value for $n$, is there a systematic way to get all fixpoints for a given $k$?

Due to TSG's full-time employment that takes a good chunk of our waking hours, writing tends to take place late at night. This often leads Matthew and I to engage in Gmail chat that starts with a point, but then meanders its way through the soccer world.
Recently, we've been ending up with more questions then answers and we're hoping our readers could help us out.
Any chance the NFL and MLB conspired to send Glazer and Hicks over to the EPL to eliminate future competition? American-run Manchester United and Liverpool are mired in debt…do Americans hate soccer that much that they will go to such great lengths to destroy it? (please note sarcasm.)
Any chance the boys on the other side of the pond will agree to start Premiership matches later in the day for us sunshine-soaked folks on the left coast? Jozy and the Tigers taking on City at 7:00am?…okay. But the Howard-Donovan Bowl at 4:45am?!?…c'mon.
Any chance we'll see Jozy Altidore blast one in the back of the net versus City? The Altidore Goal Watch will stand at 154 days when he takes the pitch on Saturday. (I've got a feeling…I think.)
Any chance US Soccer will to stop pimping the USMNT's 14th spot in the world rankings? The US has beaten exactly two non-CONCACAF team in the past year.
Any chance the World Cup will not sell-out? Ticket sales are said to be struggling amid cost and security concerns. FIFA will probably get there, but chances of going back-to-back England '18 and USA '22 are probably a little better as a result of the "learning experience."
Any chance the soccer community (and FIFA) will be as outraged over the CAF decision to ban Togo for two Africa Cup of Nations tournaments as it was over the Henry handball? How can the "rebels-shooting-up-the-team-bus" principle not trump the "government-interference" principle? Disgusting.
Any chance the soccer media will abandon their best TMZ impersonation and return to their regularly-scheduled programming of actually covering the game? Sure, Terrygate may have an impact on the World Cup, but Wynalda and Harkes aren't in the player pool according to US Soccer.
Any chance we'll see Bob Bradley fill the two coaching vacancies on the USMNT sideline? FYI, Bob-O…it's a World Cup year…might be a good idea to have the help.
Any chance each MLS franchise will team-up with a local micro / craft brewer to spread the word about the link between the beautiful game and the beautiful beverage? This beer-and-soccer thing is starting to catch on.
Any chance, speaking of promotional opportunities, that soccer can get more high-profile celebrity fans in the US? Drew Carey has done a great job, but he can't do it all. Shouldn't Galaxy be choppering-in Megan Fox or Matt Damon for the home opener?
Any chance the USMNT will mandate that injured players must rehab with Charlie Davies to get a understanding of the power of human will and determination?

I am planning to develop 2D space RPG and i am facing the choice: what is the best language to write it in? My candidates are C++, Java and Python. Obviously, I want to write game in Python because of its expressiveness, speed of development and simplicity of adding scripting support. But I am worried:
- Won't Python be too slow? The game will be not trivial (like Tetris for example), it may be needed to calculate tasks for thousands of ships in universe (though their AI can be heavily simplified if those ships are not seen to the player). Of course I can write some critical parts in C, but it will instantly complicate building and deploying.
- Let's suppose that game became popular, and I became a superstar. Windows users rarely have Python at all (fortunately we have py2exe). Python on Mac OS X can be outdated and game may crash with obscure exception. Wouldn't it be hard to deploy game in Python?
- Because of lack of libraries for Python 3 I'll have to write game in Python 2. Wouldn't transition to Python 3 in couple of years be too painful and time consuming?

I always enjoy my encounters with the CBIs Sir Digby Jones, who is stepping down as the head of the business group. He is jovial, enthusiastic and has a great stock of excellent jokes. Yet his defence of capitalism, as until recently the voice of British business, made me gloomy. I hope his successor Richard Lambert will do better.
The case for capitalism or, as I prefer to say, markets, is not merely so companies can be creamed to pay for hospitals and schools. Markets are deeply mysterious entities which we have yet to understand fully.
Markets stand apart from much of the human institutional landscape because they were designed by nobody. Markets are spontaneous orders which pursue no hierarchy of ends ; that is, markets do not value certain ends over other ends like the state does. The quotes are F A Hayeks. In this sense the only analogy that seems remotely satisfactory is language.
The language of capitalism is that extraordinary mechanism for co-ordinating and signalling that is prices. Prices are the conversation that emerges between those who want to buy and those who want to sell.
At this point much of academic economics and most intellectuals go up a metaphorical cul-de-sac. They argue human beings will not attain equilibriums . Therefore the State can intervene and sort out the chaos of the market riddled with fantasy flaws such as imperfect competition or asymmetrical knowledge . Surrounded on all fronts by the failing agencies of the state, they home in on supposed market failure .
This is the wisdom of fools. Markets and prices are a mass of different perceptions and circumstances, a subtle web of individuals, or firms as agents of individuals, trying to guess tomorrows opportunities.
Consider the calumnies heaped upon that valiant enterprise Wal-Mart, or as we know it better, Asda. Those hostile to capitalism see a monster that forces wages lower, destroys town centres, congests nearby roads, and overcharges. I see an engine that creates hundreds of thousands of jobs and reduces poverty. Indeed Tesco in the UK and Wal-Mart in the US are the greatest poverty-reducing programmes history has ever seen.
The important, the defining, the crucial attribute of the role of Wal-Mart/Asda is that it is entirely voluntary. Nobody is coercing anybody. Indeed the reason it is such a huge success is that large numbers of us go there of our own volition. But even the largest corporations are utterly vulnerable to peoples choices. These may be whimsical or irrational. They may be a perceptive instinct for better options. We all remember Marks & Spencers dominance built on quality. Almost overnight it lost its magic. We went elsewhere at least for a while. What a wake-up call that was.
Contrast this simple retailing story with schools. These are the products of utterly different forces bureaucracy funded from taxation and built on the conscription of their customers . So much of education has been captured by the professions it is difficult to discern what parents or pupils want. At their meanest, some of our schools are little more than baby-sitting facilities. The students do not learn to read or write or count. Indeed as James Bartholomew, author of
The Welfare State Were In
, points out: Two out of every five street robberies are committed by 10- to 16-year-olds during school hours. So are a quarter of all burglaries and a third of car thefts. It begins to seem that schools are academies of crime .
Try to imagine a capitalist schools market. Would pupils need to attend the same location every day? Could they have personal tutors whose pay was linked to results? If parents were choosing would talentless teachers survive? Would the costs of schooling tumble? Would they learn French in France? Or deploy your imagination in reverse. If retailing had been invested in municipal Comprehensive shops and private ones suppressed how would they compare to Asda or Tesco or Morrisons or Waitrose? The thought of it makes me feel ill.
There are some rich paradoxes in capitalism. People of the Left burn with desire for equality . Yet in the absence of markets we become dependent on contacts, bribes, influence or status. We can see those in democratic pluralist nations are far more equal and upwardly mobile than those who live under fraternal tyrannies.
Step back from the day-to-day bustle. Which nations enjoy the most prosperity and peace? It is utterly unambiguous. It is the market or capitalist countries that flourish and their people get fed, clothed, housed and entertained. You might think North America and Western Europe are the freest economies on the planet. The Heritage Foundations
Index of Economic Freedom put Singapore and Hong Kong top of this league table. When I invite even our most senior captains of industry to extol capitalism they meander off into jargon about productivity or efficiency or GDP. Lord Kalms of Dixons got it but hes retired.
The truth is that a well-paid CEO is no brighter than a medieval farm labourer or Victorian fisherman or French musketeer. What he is rich in is price information. He is wealthy in data. This is what lifts him. From what is this data derived? From those to whom he is linked by trade. Note humans can trade with high mutual profit with those theyll never meet. If I enter one of Sir John Collins electrical stores such as PC World and emerge with the latest gizmo I need have no contact whatsoever with the dextrous hands in Taiwan or Cambodia who assembled it.
So, here is another point for capitalism: it links all of humanity in what Hayek termed the extended order . We all contribute in our own way to the system, speaking to each other in the dialect of prices. Globalisation is an ugly word for a lovely point in our evolution.
I identify the timidity or confusion of our senior capitalists to the fact they do not know what they do beyond their own terms of bottom lines, level playing fields or dividends.
We carry the mistakes of the past. Some of the most valued social roles have been surrendered to the State. Just about all of medicine has been captured by the politicians. Even British universities, with the bold exception of Buckingham, are all in the States armpit. So, the strands of life we might regard as the most important are outside the capitalist game. Capitalists, in this vision, are little more than the donkeys that pull the cart.
In their heart of hearts I think many top industrialists still carry the baggage of Marxism. They do genuinely believe they exploit, degrade or diminish. They see profits as zero-sum games. An exception is Lord Browne of BP. He observed that in business you want your customer to return. At one level this is a banality. Yet it is a crucial insight. In capitalism your relationship depends upon delivering satisfaction. The great cell structure of tiny transactions is what capitalism is really about. It is collaborative, participatory, mutual and, most oddly, equalising.

AMES, Iowa (AP) - Seth Doege tossed three touchdown passes and Texas Tech held off host Iowa State 24-13 on Saturday night in the Big 12 opener for both teams.
Doege threw for 331 yards to lead the unbeaten Red Raiders (4-0, 1-0), who held Iowa State to just 189 yards of offense.
Doege's 19-yard TD pass to Eric Ward put Tech up 21-13 with 10:36 left, and Ryan Bustin added a 39-yard field goal with 2:20 to go.
James White had 57 yards rushing for the Cyclones (3-1, 0-1). Iowa State's Steele Jantz had one of the worst nights of his career, throwing for just 73 yards on 10 of 20 passing to go with three interceptions and a fumble.

A Fort Campbell soldier who suffered a traumatic brain injury has received the Silver Star, the military's third highest medal for valor, for his actions to help evacuate wounded troops during a mission in Afghanistan in 2010.
After receiving the medal on Friday at the installation on the Tennessee-Kentucky state line, Sgt. 1st Class Matthew Loheide of Patchogue, N.Y., immediately re-enlisted in the Army to serve other wounded warriors.
Loheide and others were injured when a bomb dropped on their position during the operation. Despite his injuries and under fire, Loheide marked a landing zone for helicopters to evacuate the wounded and led his soldiers to safety. Loheide spent several months recovering from his injury and now serves as an adaptive reconditioning non-commissioned officer at the Warrior Transition Battalion.

I'm currently working with a table exceeding 12 million rows (at about 3 GB when exported with
mysqldump) and am curious how huge a table can realistically get without any serious performance impact. The table is growing about 100,000-200,000 rows a day or so.
Should I be starting to think a little about sharding this data across multiple tables or mysql instances now before the data gets much larger? Currently the server this is running on has 1 GB of ram (though it'll soon be moving to a machine with 3/4 GB).
Has anyone got any tips/recommended reading that would push me in the right direction, or is this something I don't need to worry about yet?
Thanks :)

Significance of the CAG Repeat Polymorphism of the Androgen Receptor Gene in Prostate Cancer Progression
Nam, Robert K., Elhaji, Youssef, Krahn, Murray D., et al.
Abramson Cancer Center of the University of Pennsylvania
Last Modified: November 1, 2001
Reviewers: Li Liu, MD
Source: Journal of Urology, Volume 164(2):567-572, (August) 2000.
IntroductionPathologic stage, Gleason score (GS), and serum prostate specific antigen (PSA) are well-established prognostic factors for prostate cancer. Standard treatment for the early stage prostate cancer includes surgery, radiation therapy (external beam or brachytherapy, possibly combined with hormonal therapy), or observation, also termed "watchful waiting". Determining the prognostic factors for prostate cancer is critical. All of the potentially curative therapies are associated with significant complications; these risks can be justified only if the treatment has a reasonable chance of achieving a cure. In this study, the researchers reported the androgen receptor gene alleles with CAG repeats as a prognostic factor for prostate cancer recurrence.
MethodThe genes from leukocyte DNA from 318 men with prostate cancer treated with radical prostatectomy were sequenced using PCR-based direct sequencing method.
- GS, stage, and levels of PSA at diagnosis predicted tumor recurrence.
- 18 or fewer CAG repeats in the androgen receptor gene also predicted recurrence, but only in men at low-risk (GS 2-6, pathologic stage T2a, and PSA <= 10 ng/mL).

Nearly 3,000 kids with chronic or life-threatening diseases attend the Center for Courageous Kids each year.
CCK is a camp designed to bring together children with similar diseases.
One woman who runs the camp has a personal interest in helping those with illnesses.
"My husband Roger and I were asked in November of 2004 to come and build Center for Courageous Kids-- a world class Medical Camp in South Central Kentucky, but I did not know at the time that I would have a very personal connection in that my niece Hosana would be diagnosed with juvenile diabetes."
Stormi Murtie would find out shortly after moving to Kentucky that her niece would be eligible to attend CCK.
Hosana Hume was diagnosed at just four-years-old with diabetes.
Now, at 12 it's something she struggles with everyday.
"The first time I came here I learned how to give myself shots before my mom always had to do them. I couldn't go over to a friend's house because I didn't know how to give myself shots," she says.
Becoming a camp member at the Center for Courageous Kids has given Hosana a place to connect with others through horseback riding, bowling, and other various activities.
"It's really interesting to see how many people have the same illness as you do. You don't feel so alone when you're at Camp CCK because everyone has the same thing you do when you're here," Hosana says.
CCK welcomes kids who are battling various cancers, to diabetes, to amputees.
CCK assists kids with over a hundred different illnesses each year.
Each week brings in kids with a different disease.
"The friends you make at CCK are a little more important because they understand what you go through," Hosana says.
"To see her here bonding with other kids and being moved and emotional when she has to leave it exemplifies, it reiterates, it drives home what we say all the time that when you make a difference in a child's life you make a difference in your own," Stormi says.
Stormi says Hosana's disease makes her even more dedicated to the Center for Courageous Kids.

The exercise is from Stein-Shakarchi's Real Analysis (Chapter 1, ex. 24). It asks about an enumeration of the rationals $\left\{r_{n}\right\}_{n\geq 1}$ such that the complement of $\bigcup_{n=1}^{\infty}{\left(r_{n}-\frac{1}{n},r_{n}+\frac{1}{n}\right)}$ in $\mathbb{R}$ is non-empty.
While, I understand that we probably need some enumeration of the rationals such that the only rationals outside a fixed bounded interval are of the form $r_{m^{2}}$ for some $m$, I'm having trouble seeing how to get such an enumeration.
As always, help is very appreciated :)

In one scene, we are clearly told that the dinosaurs couldn't breed on their own because they are all female. We later find that, in fact, since they used frog dna to create the dinosaurs, they can in fact breed. Why was so much importance put on this aspect?
In the original novel, Alan Grant make a big issue about how insanely irresponsible and dangerous it was to introduce dinosaurs back into the world. John Hammond dismissed his concerns, saying the dinosaurs couldn't escape from the island, couldn't breed, and couldn't even survive without a special diet fortified with amino acids. So when it was revealed that the dinosaurs actually could breed, it wasn't so much a "behold the miracle of life" moment as it was a major "how could we have fucked up so bad?" moment. I seem to remember that they were going to stop everything else until they could get an accurate count of the dinosaurs, and an accurate count of every eggshell on the island to make sure there were no hatchlings unaccounted for.
This was all pretty much dropped in the movie.
It is one instance that explains everything that happens throughout the movie.
From the dinosaurs escaping to the dinosaurs breeding, much of the events that happen throughout Jurassic Park are meant to prove Dr. Malcolm right when he said "life finds a way."
In this specific example, the Jurassic Park scientists are "spared no expense" and years of research was conducted whereby they did "...things which nobody's ever done before." But we learn that in spite of this massive biologic and engineering feat, where so much deliberate science was conducted to prevent pretty much everything bad that happened in the film, life found a way anyway.
If I remember correctly from the novel the computer system managing the park were designed to count the number of animals of each type in the park, and to report if that number ever dropped unexpectedly (presumably denoting an escape).
At one point in the novel I believe Dr. Malcolm asks them to run a scan for more animals than expected rather than less. This is when they discover an increased number and so learn that the dinosaurs have been breeding.
I don't remember that element actually being in the film, but it's been some time since I've seen it.

Two-Speed Wiper Installation - Clean SweepWritten by on September 1, 2010 Project '49 Gets Two-Speed Wipers
I guess the original vacuum windshield wipers that my '49 Chevy came equipped with from the factory could be termed two-speed-if you count "slow" and "off" as speeds! Anyone who has experienced vacuum wipers knows that they slow down when you need them the most-that is, when the engine is under load, such as accelerating or ascending a grade. While I rarely have the need for wipers living in sunny SoCal, the Chevy hasn't always lived in such a hospitable climate, and many's the time I cursed those vacuum wipers when I drove the car back in rain-swept England.
While the thought of installing wipers (or even fitting wiper arms and blades to working systems!) seems an almost alien process if the cars I see at local shows are anything to go by, I intend to cover some serious miles in the Chevy, hopefully this summer, with many of them out of state. So a decent two-speed wiper motor was on my "to-do" list. Things got even better once I'd contacted New Port Engineering. Not only do they offer their Clean Wipe wiper drive that bolts in place of the original, but an optional upgrade to the basic two-speed kit features a delay unit that provides high and low speeds, plus intermittent and delay options. It also operates a windshield washer from the same single switch! Plus, the 3/16-inch-diameter shaft means the original Chevy dash knob can be reused.
As the delay unit is larger than the two-speed, in this instance a shaft extension (also an optional upgrade) is required for the unit to clear the dashboard, though it's not required in some other applications. In fact, the extension may actually cause interference with other components if it's not required, so speak with the folks at New Port Engineering about your specific application.
We've all experienced parts that are supposed to fit straight out of the box, but usually require some modification, so it was a very pleasant surprise to find that the New Port Engineering motor quite literally does bolt straight up to the two mounting holes as per the original. Once the rubber grommets in the ends of the actuating arms are replaced with the nylon bushes supplied, and affixed using C-clips, the original arms, spindles and wiper towers can be re-used. But-and there's always a but-I had squeezed a Vintage Air Gen IV A/C evaporator under the Chevy's dash, and though I'd mounted it to clear the actuating arms and the old vacuum motor, it took up part of the space where the new motor was mounted. New Port Engineering states that the motor will clear an A/C unit, but the Vintage Air Gen IV is larger than most units, so I guess I should have seen the clash coming. A little ingenuity saw the motor fitted without modifying the New Port Engineering bracketry, and thus not affecting the warranty, making the installation relatively, if not completely, painless. Guess I won't need the bottle of rain repellent in the trunk any longer ...
More Photos From This Article View Slideshow
Here are the old and the new for comparison. Though they mount in the same location, and the pivoting arm is in the same location, you can see how much deeper the New Port Engineering bracket is, hence my interface with the A/C unit.Again for comparison with the stock arm and rubber grommet on the left and the now painted righthand side arm, nylon bush, washer, and C-clip on the right. The three components for the left arm are shown on the mounting bracket.Once I'd treated the rust under the dash and brushed on rust-inhibiting paint, the new motor was mounted. Take care to mount it centrally on the original bracket, as the holes are slotted to provide adjustment.I ran out of time to apply the top coat on the cowl (you'll have to wait and see what it'll be!) so that's black basecoat on there for now. Chevs of The 40's supplied a pair of new wiper tower gaskets, and though they'll be coming off again for final paint, the towers were remounted. I'll be on the lookout for towers in better condition in the meantime.The towers are secured from underneath, via a bracket and bolt, and the actuating arms and shafts were replaced. During final assembly I'll add silicone grease to the shafts, but this was just a "dry" run.With the arms connected to the motor, the installation's complete, save for the wiring. According to New Port Engineering's instructions, moving the entire motor assembly left or right on the stock mounting bracket will raise or lower the left and right wipers so you can set them at the same height, then loosening the nut on the motor shaft and pivoting the motor on its bracket (locked in place by a bolt in the slot at the bottom of the bracket-which I've helpfully removed in this shot!) will raise or lower the wipers a like amount. They should be set to park between 1/4 and 1/2 inch above the rubber windshield gasket.Of course my installation wasn't complete, but I calculated that moving the entire assembly across toward the driver side of the car, but ensuring it remained in line with the original Chevy bracket, would provide sufficient clearance for the A/C unit and still retain the factory geometry. I was able to use the lefthand hole in the stock bracket for the righthand mounting bolt on the motor bracket, and would then fabricate another bracket to mount the lefthand side. This meant the motor would move across by precisely the distance between its mounting holes, which measured 5 7/8 inches. Therefore, I had to remove this amount from the driver side actuating arm and lengthen the other by a similar amount. Got that?
I could have welded a bracket to the firewall, but decided against it for two reasons. One, the outside of the firewall was already painted; and two, I'm attempting to make as much of this build as possible a bolt-in deal, to show that it's possible to undertake a fairly major project without owning anything more complex than a MIG welder, grinder, and hand tools. So my bolt-in bracket was formed from 1x1x1/16-inch angle steel (actually cut from box section, which has a larger corner radius), cutting sections, and folding the ends over, then welding, grinding, and drilling.Here's one view of the finished bracket, which uses the dash/steering column stabilizing bars to bolt to the firewall. The upper end is slotted to allow for that wiper arm adjustment I spoke of. The New Port bracket is tapped and comes with mounting hardware. You can see how the lower end of the bracket now clears the A/C outlet with about 1/4 inch of clearance (arrow).Another view of the bracket, looking up from the transmission tunnel, clearly shows how it attaches to the firewall. The new mounting method provides as much if not more support than the stock Chevy bracket, with minimal flex in operation. Obviously, I haven't used it extensively, but at this stage I don't think it'll need a gusset to prevent movement.Luckily both actuating arms include straight sections, so the 5 7/8-inch length I removed from the left side was simply welded into the right side, leaving gaps the same width as the band saw blade I cut them with, to ensure they remained the correct length. I actually opted to TIG-weld the arms, but these could be MIG-welded too.This is the optional delay unit that has to be grounded to the wiper motor assembly (using a wire supplied) in order for the intermittent capability to function.Releasing this set screw allows the stock Chevy dash knob to be used. In some applications, including mine, an optional shaft extension is required (arrow) in order for the delay unit to clear behind-dash components.Here's the delay unit/switch installed, with the original knob. Now all I have to do is complete the simple wiring as per the instructions. Guess I'll need a wiring harness pretty soon then! Temporarily hooked up to a 12-volt battery, through a 6-amp fuse, I was able to set the park positions of the wiper arms and ensure my modifications allowed everything to work as designed.When I ordered the tower gaskets from Chevs of the 40's I noticed they offered short wiper arms for chopped cars, so I ordered a set at the same time. Now, my car is chopped quite heavily, but I raised the top of the windshield aperture into the front of the roof, meaning my windshield isn't drastically short, and these arms and blades, nice as they are, are too short for my application. However, I should have paid more attention to New Port Engineering's products, as they offer polished stainless adjustable arms as well as blades in 6-, 8-, and 10-inch lengths.
