SHAUN STANLEY/Durango Herald
It sounds corny, but the time-worn aphorism �two heads are better than one� sums up the advantages of the implant he uses in hip surgery, says Dr. Gary Scott, a surgeon at Durango Orthopedic Associates.
Scott, who has performed 40 to 50 total hip replacements a year for 30 years, is the only orthopedic surgeon in the Four Corners to use the ADMX3 insert.
Instead of the simple ball-and-socket solution, which provides one swivel point, the ADMX3 swivels at two points, giving the implant recipient greater mobility.
In a traditional hip replacement, extraneous material is removed from the socket in the pelvis and a metal shell and a liner are inserted. A steel ball on the tip of a rod driven into the top of the femur (the upper leg bone) mates with the cup, returning natural movement to the leg.
The dual-mobility prosthesis that Scott uses goes one step further.
The shell inserted into the pelvis socket receives two cups, one nestled inside the other, with the ball on the femur fitting into the smaller cup. As the leg moves, each cup swivels, the larger cup in the socket and the smaller cup within the larger cup.
Scott received his medical degree from the University of Nebraska and did his residency at the University of Kansas medical school. Scott, who has been in Durango since 1984, does knee and shoulder surgeries also.
Hip replacements are done to relieve arthritis pain that comes from years of wear and tear, disease, tumors or trauma such as an accident. About 250,000 hip replacements are done in the United States annually.
By way of comparison, an Associated Press story last week reported that in 2009, more than 600,000 knee replacements were done nationwide. About 4 million Americans older than 50 have artificial knees, the story said.
Scott said the average age of new-hip recipients is 70 years. A 26-year-old man was the youngest patient he has treated.
Hip surgery has made great strides since the first recorded replacement was made in the late 19th century. Dr. Austin Moore, an American surgeon, did the first metallic hip replacement in 1940 at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore.
Scott refers to Sir John Charnley, a British surgeon, as the father of modern hip surgery. Charnley�s joint design replaced others by 1970.
The dual-mobility prosthesis was developed by Dr. Gilles Bousquet, a surgeon at University Hospital at St. Etienne, France, in 1976. Although it was used extensively in Europe for years, the implant wasn�t authorized for use in the United States until 2007.
The first recipient reportedly was Johnny Bench, the retired Cincinnati Reds Hall of Fame catcher.
Different materials � ivory, Teflon, ceramics, polyethylene, a cobalt-chrome alloy and stainless steel � have been used through the years for femoral heads, pelvic cups and liners.
Designs change with attempts to find the best combination of materials, size and shape for the implants.
Large femoral heads provide more stability but wear faster. Small heads wear better but provide less stability.
Pagosa Springs resident Ellen Charnley, who has no relation to the English surgeon, is pleased with the new hip implant Scott gave her in June 2011.
�I had put up with a lot of pain in my right hip for more than a year,� Charnley said last week. �I was in pain when I climbed stairs, walked or sat in an automobile for any length of time. It affected my quality of life.�
Medications, muscle relaxants, physical therapy and a chiropractor brought no relief.
Charnley, 59, who was a certified nurse�s aide for 17 years, consulted Scott in April 2011 and had surgery a month later.
�I was very surprised and pleased by my recovery,� Charnley said. �I had two weeks of physical therapy following my operation and was walking a mile a day.
�I was back to church in two weeks with my walker,� she said.
Today, she moves well, keeping house, walking for exercise and chasing six grandchildren, Charnley said.
�If Dr. Scott told me I needed to have my left hip replaced I wouldn�t hesitate,� Charnley said.
Scott said the challenge is to duplicate the mechanics, durability, stability and longevity of the original hip.
The life expectancy of an implant depends on the use it gets � just like a new car, Scott said. If the buyer follows scheduled maintenance, changes the oil on time and drives sensibly, it will last a long time.
The average 40-year-old adult takes about 1 million steps a year.

A Long Gap in Between 'Zoilo' At-Bats
Zoilo Almonte has created quite a splash since making his major-league debut in late June, hitting .314 and earning a starting spot in the New York Yankees outfield.
It's been awhile since a "Zoilo" last played in the majors. Zoilo Versalles, the 1965 American League MVP, retired in 1971, beginning a drought that ended when the Yankees promoted Almonte (pictured). But the 42-year wait for another Zoilo is hardly a long one.
It's just the 124th longest gap between proper first names in history, according to Stats, LLC. The time between players named Levi is nearly three times longer—123 years from Levi Meyerle's 1884 retirement from the Philadelphia Keystones to Levi Burton's promotion to the 2007 Reds. Burton, however, goes by his middle name, Jared.
No other gap comes within 10 years of the Levi mark. The first name Warner is closest. Warner Anderson retired in 1896 and, 112 years later, Warner Madrigal debuted for the 2008 Rangers. More recently, Carter Capps in 2012 followed Carter Elliott, who retired 91 years earlier, in 1921.
The list of names that haven't been used for 120-plus years doesn't seem ripe for repeats. According to BabyCenter.com, which tracks U.S. popularity based on historical Social Security data, there have been no babies that could soon be major league age named Leonidas (last MLB appearance in 1877), Thorndike (1884), Hezekiah (1884) or Stonewall (1884).
But possible record breakers include Weston (411th most popular in 1993) and Grayson (607th), names last used by Weston Fisler (1876) and "Gracie" Pierce (1884).

South-east Rügen Island has a multi-faceted coastal landscape with long sandy beaches, salt marshes and beech forests, coastal cliff-faces and briny lagoons cutting deep inland.
Representing harmony between man and nature, the reserve can claim a wide range of species and a landscape as varied as it is beautiful. The coast itself ranges from expanses of white sand to pebble beach and cliff-face. Huge boulders punctuate the landscape, relics of the last ice age. With a bit of luck, you might find a fossil of a mollusc or sea urchin on the beach. But for real nature lovers, the unspoilt island of Vilm holds a special allure. Part of the core of the biosphere reserve, it is open to visitors only in the form of guided walking tours. The rare animal and plant species such as grey seals and orchids are well worth seeing here. Equally worth a visit is the 75-hectare landscaped park in Putbus, home to exotic specimens such as sequoia and cedar trees. As a managed landscape, the area covered by the biosphere reserve bears traces of human activity going back to the Mesolithic Age.

Success story
Intuit achieves breakthroughs in tax software performance
Intuit needed a fast, reliable, and cost-effective storage solution for its TurboTax suite of tax preparation offerings. TurboTax is a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) suite of offerings, so system responsiveness was a critical goal. To help ensure high availability, Intuit needed to replicate data between 2 datacenters. Intuit chose Red Hat® Gluster Storage and got exactly what it needed, at a cost far lower than proprietary storage systems.
Customer Since
Mountain View, CA
Information Technology industry
- Red Hat Gluster Storage
- GlusterFS
- HP Proliant DL170E G6 servers
Although going down a new path sometimes means taking risks, the rewards can be huge if you can deliver breakthroughs in performance and scalability while reducing costs. Red Hat enabled us to do that.Jeff Ludwig, director of product development for Intuit TurboTax
Intuit's system must handle tax-season spikes in demand
Intuit is one of the world's most recognized brands for delivering fully functioned, easy-to-use financial software to consumers, business professionals, and small businesses. One of the company's flagship products is TurboTax Online, a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) offering that enables customers to complete and file their taxes online. Intuit serves more than 25 million customers during the tax season. The company already has 150-200 terabytes of customer information stored in its 2 datacenters. That number grows by 15-20% annually.
Seeking scalable system protected from failure
Intuit needed to achieve a system performance level adequate for its peak periods. The company also wanted replication architecture that could protect against localized or site-wide failures. "We also needed the solution to scale easily so that we could keep pace with our accelerating growth," said Jeff Ludwig, director of product development for Intuit TurboTax.
Handling billions of small files
Intuit was seeking an innovative approach where it wouldn't be committed to a large proprietary system. The proprietary systems dictate what storage arrays and storage racks the company has to use. As a result, Ludwig and his team began investigating the possibilities of open source software. "We needed a fast, scalable file system that could handle billions of small files," said Ludwig. The solution also needed to provide fast synchronization between datacenters to meet Intuit's demanding storage replication service-level agreements (SLAs).
Intuit gets distributed file system that expands as needed
Intuit selected Red Hat Gluster Storage because of its distributed file system that scales when its customers need it to.
"Red Hat worked with us the entire way as we designed and built our architectures, helping with best practices, design considerations and layout, performance testing, and migration," said Mohit Anchlia, an architect for Intuit's consumer financial applications.
Design meets demands for volume
Red Hat helped Intuit work through a number of architectural design challenges in particular. "Using our original architecture, we were not able to keep up with the volume that we were replicating, and it wasn't clear what the bottleneck was," said Ludwig. "We worked closely with Red Hat engineering professionals to tune the code specifically to run in our environment, allowing us to have parallelized replication between datacenters and to meet our data availability SLAs." This wasn't a typical support engagement, stressed Ludwig. "The Red Hat team understood the urgency and the complexity of the issue, and knew exactly what we needed to support our use case, where data is distributed across nodes."
2 sites ensure redundancy
The final implementation includes two sites, each with 38 Red Hat Gluster Storage 2.0 storage nodes. The nodes are HP ProLiant DL170e G6 servers, each with 2x Xeon L5640 2.27GHz central processing units (CPUs) with hyper-threading—to achieve 24 total logical CPUs—and 48GB of memory. Each server has 7TB of local disk connected to a smart array controller in a redundant array of independent disks (RAID) 10 configuration, for a total of 3.5TB of data space per node.
Each 3.5TB of node storage is formatted with the XFS file system and included as a GlusterFS volume brick. The volume uses a replica 2 configuration, for a total of 66.5TB of usable storage per cluster (3.5TB times 19 replica pairs).
Each site hosts a primary production volume, which application servers write to via the GlusterFS FUSE native client. The production volume at each site is replicated to a slave volume on the opposite site using xsync geo-replication. Production standards require a 30-minute SLA for all site replication.
Business-critical application responds to demand at lower cost
Red Hat Gluster Storage allows Intuit to react and expand quickly in response to the demands of the fast-moving consumer tax market. The product also offers a lower total cost of ownership than proprietary systems. That increases Intuit's return on investment for the initiative. The cost per terabyte of storage dropped by a factor of 16 to 1.
"The Red Hat technical account teams were highly professional, helping us implement the solution within the required timeframe," said Anchlia. "Our customers are very latency-sensitive, and expect immediate response when they make a request of the application. Ultimately, they benefit enormously from both the responsiveness and quality of our TurboTax Online application."
Design removes risk of slowdown in tax season
Given Intuit's cycles for business and peak activity, it cannot afford to go offline (or even slow down). "It's absolutely unacceptable for our application to be down in tax season. If it is, we make the news," said Ludwig. "The final architecture of Red Hat Gluster Storage means there are no single points of failure and it provides high availability all the time."
Intuit meets challenges with Red Hat manager
Intuit partnered with Red Hat Global Support Services to use a Red Hat Gluster Storage technical account manager (TAM). The TAM was key in coordinating Red Hat support, business, and engineering resources to meet Intuit's needs.
"Our TAM completely understood our architecture and our challenges, and gave us recommendations for best practices within that context," said Anchlia.
Red Hat support recommended that Intuit should remove data that didn't belong in the database, and to place it in the file system. "That enabled us to have high availability for our application across multiple datacenters, and we managed to do this at a cost that wouldn't have been possible if we'd used a pure database solution."
Intuit takes new path with big data storage
In addition, Red Hat's knowledge of an emerging area of technology—big data—was invaluable. "Red Hat understands that so-called big data solutions are different than standard file system layouts," said Ludwig. "Practices that can easily work for small amounts of data can fall apart with big data sets, so it's important to plan early and test often."
A lot of companies are talking about ways to solve big data problems. Intuit, however, needed to move ahead with cutting-edge technology while others were still in the planning stage—nothing less than a flagship application was at stake. "Although going down a new path sometimes means taking risks, the rewards can be huge if you can deliver breakthroughs in performance and scalability while reducing costs," he said. "Red Hat enabled us to do that."

I have a Celestron Astromaster 114 EQ, which I saw was highly recommended as a great beginner scope. But I just can't seem to find anything in the sky with it. Yes, I've removed the lens cap, yes I've tried aligning with Polaris. Unfortunately, I think it is not properly balanced, and I can't seem to get it to balance, and I am totally unsure if my finderscope is aligned properly with the viewer. How can I check that, by the way? Everytime I blink the finder scope seems to have moved slightly (obviously it's my head, not the scope). How can I be sure to align it? Any tips?
Find a way to get in-person help from an experienced observer. +1 for Andrew's answers, but even if you get up and running with help here on SE, you'll learn tons by having someone actually standing with you at the scope at night. Best place to find knowledgeable observers is always your local astronomy club.
Andrew's covered most of your questions well, so I'll concentrate on the rest.
To test the alignment of you finder use a distant object during the day. A phone pole 50-100 feet away will work well, as will a well defined peak of a hill/mountain. Make sure it's NOT in the same part of the sky as the sun.
You'll need to check the alignment every time you use the scope; but unless you have to dismantle it for transport/storage it shouldn't drift much between uses. If you have to reassemble it, you'll need to repeat the process from scratch.
If you can't align the finderscope during the day because you're traveling to a dark site and don't arrive while it's still light things are harder but the same process applies. Generally you'll have to use a distinctive terrain feature on the horizon; either taking advantage of light pollution to make it slightly brighter than the night sky, in a completely dark location the horizon where it intersects with the milky way is probably your best bet since the contrast vs the ground should be clearest. The moon's an option if it's up (glare coming from one side in the eyepiece can help you find it once the finder gets you close); but beyond that I'm not sure what to suggest.
To balance your scope you need adjust it so the same amount of weight is on each side of the brackets holding it to the tripod. Do this with an eyepiece inserted (the weight will affect the balance).
"I have a Celestron Astromaster 114 EQ, which I saw was highly recommended as a great beginner scope."
Sorry, but unfortunately this is one of the worst telescopes a beginner could choose. The three major reasons are its flawed Bird-Jones optical design, which is incapable of high magnification and extremely difficult to collimate (align optically) which should be a routine maintenance procedure, its fussy, hard to use, and shaky equatorial mount, and its small aperture. The same money would have bought you a larger aperture Newtonian reflector on a simple solid Dobsonian mount. I'd seriously recommend returning it in exchange for a 6-inch Dobsonian if at all possible.
While some of the suggestions you've received are helpful, they would have been more so if people had actually taken a look at the telescope in question:
This is not a computerized goto mount, but a simple manual equatorial mount. Your telescope should not be swinging freely except when initially balancing it: there are clamps on both axes to hold it in place. Balance each axis separately: first the declination axis (by moving the telescope longitudinally in its cradle) and secondly the polar axis (by moving the counterweight up and down). Done systematically in the right order, these adjustments should take only a few seconds.
This telescope has some sort of weird "heads-up" finder, which should be adjustable. Personally I hate these things because they are so critical of where you place your eye; give me an old-fashioned optical finder any day. The essential thing in adjusting any finder is that (in daylight) you first point the telescope at something at least 1/4 mile away, and secondly, without moving the telescope, adjust the finder screws so that the finder points at the same object.
A word about lens caps. Many of these "beginner's" telescopes come supplied with a two-part lens cap, rather like a doughnut and its hole. Beginners often remove only the "hole" and leave the "doughnut" in place, blocking most or all of the light coming into the telescope. So, be sure you have removed both parts of the lens cap, so that the entire front of the telescope tube is wide open, at least 5 inches in diameter. In fact, glue the two parts of the cap together, since there is no reason you would ever want to separate them. [The reason for their existence goes way back into the history of telescopes, and has absolutely no relevance to anyone today.]
Well, I'm not sure if you are going to ever read this but, I have a solution and it will only cost about $40. I have the exact same telescope and like you, was having difficulty finding any object other than the moon. However, I received a wonderful Christmas gift this year and since it has made the telescope amazingly easy to use!!
It's a "Telrad" star finder. I mounted the base to the right side of the scope'sbrackets. It's made use of the telescope 1000% easier! I look to the sky with the cocentric rings, place the star or object/s in the second circle-right side, and BOOM! Centered in the eye piece. The hard part is focusing the object! This really isn't all that difficult as just a few turns of the focus wheel brings the object into clear view.
I've been looking at Jupiter this week. My only complaint now is the actual power. I'm debating getting better eye pieces but to be honest, I think the scope is just not "strong" enough. Either way, I'm enjoying my scope and use it nightly now. The "Telrad" has really saved my hobby.
I'm NOT paid by Telrad by the way, just an excited hobbiest! Enjoy.

I am having a surprisingly difficult time trying to find the last name of an actor.
He was a large, muscular white actor who was frequently bald (the kind who might play a scary inmate). I am more than 90% certain his name was Bryan something, though it may have been spelled Brian. I know for a fact that he died sometime in the 90's of a heart-attack because I remember being surprised by the news.
Unfortunately I can't seem to think of any movies he was in at the moment (though I used to know some). The closest I can think of is Shocker, but that was Mitch Pileggi, not this guy.
I tried IMDB's advanced search as well as Google and Google Images, but did not find him which is somewhat surprising because he was not a nobody; he was perhaps a C to B-list action star like Dolph Lundgren or Rutger Hauer.
Does anyone know his last name or a site that can (more) effectively find him?

Consider 2 integers such that $a/b \approx\pi$. Let $c=|\pi-(a/b)|$ As $a$ and $b$ grow $c \to 0$. Now consider $d=abc$. Do $a$ and $b$ exist such that $d$ is less than it would be for any other pair?
For a good approximation we may expect $ab\approx \pi b^2$, so you are essentially looking for approximations that make $|\pi-\frac a b|\cdot b^2$ small. The best candidates for this are the continued fraction approximations for $\pi$, i.e $\frac31$, $\frac{22}7$, $\frac{333}{106}$, $\frac{355}{113}$, $\frac{103993}{33102}$ leading to $d$ values of $-0.425$, $0.195$, $-2.937$, $0.0107$, $-1.989$. Especially good are those aproximations before a big number shows up in the continued fraction. If instead of $\pi$ were asking for $\sqrt 2$, say, an explicit answer could be given. But for transcendentals like $\pi$ there are always surprises awating, that is new record-breaking approximations (=big numbers in the continued fraction) may lure "further down".
Since $a$ is close to $b\pi$, $d$ is close to $\pi b^2|\pi-(a/b)|$. It is not known whether there are infinitely many pairs $a,b$ such that, say, $|\pi-(a/b)|\lt b^{-3}$. If there are, then your $d$ goes to zero as $a,b$ increase.

The new manager came in and made it clear from day one that no more players will be coming in during July and August and many predicted that again the club may suffer without investment.
A new strike duo of Ba and Cisse are untried at Premier League level with Ba having just a 4 month stay with recently relegated West Ham. Before Pardew was ousted he had splashed £5m+ on Davide Santon, £4.3m on Yohan Cabaye and was tricked by Sir Alex Ferguson into coughing up for Gabriel Obertan.

- Bring to a boil and boil rapidly for 10 minutes, then turn the heat down, cover, and simmer for about an hour, or until the beans are tender. Drain, reserving the liquid.
- Heat the oil in a heavy pan over medium heat, add the onion and garlic, and cook until soft.
- Add the carrots, zucchini, celery, tomatoes, thyme, and salt and pepper to taste. Add enough of the bean cooking water to moisten.
- Cover and simmer for about 15 minutes, adding more of the bean water if necessary, until all the vegetables are soft.
- Add the beans-and more liquid as needed-cover, heat through gently, and serve.

Think BIG
When I was starting out doing freelance work in the late 1960's, after my stint as an ad executive, and before I had started to make books for children, I created this brochure to promote my work. It is a folded brochure and on the cover is a tiny ladybug who is saying: "THINK SMALL". Inside there is the image of a very large whale who is saying: "think big". The brochure did get some attention from publishers. It was a project I enjoyed working on and feel it is not unrelated to the books I would soon start to create.

Very cool!!
Have you ever had an exhibit (at your museum) of some of the work you'd done before you started making childrens' books? I would love to see that!

Love the brochure! Interestingly, it is frequently the little ladybugs throughout life who think the biggest thoughts of all, while the large whales tackle very small objectives, truth be told. Blessings--dianne :)

I am brand new at this
I just received ny NN5 and nikon 10.5 lens two days ago. *I am shooting with a D300. *I am using PTGui trial version as my code has not yet arrived for my purchased version
Yesterday, I did two interior test pans without the zenith or nadir shots and they stitched perfectly
I moved my camera to another location that has a tile floor so i can learn how to do the nadir shot and everything went haywire in ptgui
I found the right camera setting on the NN5 so the camera rotales around the nodal point. *The camera was on a leveled tripod with the proper 60 degree rotation setting to take 6 shots with proper overlap. Nothing that i know of had been changed after my fist two tests
After loading the images, I used the align images tool. The preview editor comes up and everything is a mess. *I run the optimizer set to heavy*+lens shift and I get a message saying it failed. *Average control point dist is 593, *min is 67, max is 1935. * Looking at the control points manually, they look perfctly alaigned to my inexperienced eye
I even tried stiching without the zenith and nadir shots withe the same bad results.
I can't figure out why they won't stitch properly or what changed between my first two sucessful tests and the third.

text: My first major international tournament on any Football Manager game has ended at the quarters finals as we (Australia) went out on penalties to Iran. We topped the group easily, although this was mainly due to the fact that every game between the other teams in my group ended as a draw. We took the lead in the quarter final after missing an early penalty but they scored back straight after half time. We couldn't get another goal and missed 2 in the shoot out to go out of the tournament. While we didn't meet the FA's expectations we did better than I thought as up until the first group game I hadn't won a single game with Australia in over a year since taking the job.

Does the Deligne-Mumford space (without ordering for marked points) $\bar M_{g,n}/S_{n}$ has fundamental chain in signular simplicial chains? (because I read Costello's paper GW potential to TCFT, as a orbifold,what's the fundamental chain?)
A compact orbifold without boundary will have a fundamental chain in rational singular homology if and only if it is orientable. The fundamental chain will satisfy the same sorts of properties as for a manifold. In particular, collapsing the complement of a small disc will send the fundamental chain to the generator of $H_n(D^n,\partial D^n)$. The reason that closed oriented orbifolds have fundamental chains in rational homology is essentially because, to the eyes of rational homology, they look like manifolds.
So the first part of what you are asking amounts to the question of whether $\overline{\mathcal{M}}_{g,n}/S_n$ is orientable or not.
Just so we're clear, $\overline{\mathcal{M}}_{g,n}$ is the moduli space of stable curves of genus $g$ with $n$ marked points labelled $1 \ldots n$. The action of the symmetric group $S_n$ is by permuting the labels of the marked points. Before taking the quotient by $S_n$, the space $\overline{\mathcal{M}}_{g,n}$ is a complex orbifold, so the complex structure induces a well-defined orientation just as for complex manifolds.
So the question is now whether the $S_n$ action preserves the orientation or not. The answer is that it does indeed. The symmetric group action is in fact algebraic, so it preserves the complex structure and hence the orientation.
As an aside: There is a homotopy equivalence between the moduli space $M^{rib}_{g,n}$ of metric ribbon graphs (that thicken to a genus $g$ surface with $n$ labelled boundary components) and the uncompactified moduli space $\mathcal{M}_{g,n}$. The action of $S_n$ on $M^{rib}_{g,n}$ is not orientation preserving. This is because, via Strebel differentials (or Penner's Lambda lengths) one can show that $M^{rib}_{g,n}$ is homeomorphic to $\mathcal{M}_{g,n} \times \mathbb{R}_+^n$ and under this homeomorphism the symmetric group action corresponds to the usual action on the first factor and the permutation action on the coordinates of the second factor. Thus it doesn't act in an orientation preserving way.
A pseudomanifold is a finite-dimensional topological space $X$ (say Hausdorff and locally compact) that admits a closed subspace $Y$ of dimension $\dim X-2$ such that $X-Y$ is a manifold (see e.g. Goresky-MacPherson, Intersection homology 1, Topology 19, 135-162). If in addition to that $X-Y$ is connected and orientable, then there is a fundamental (cellular) chain: the homology long exact sequence inplies that the $H_{\dim X}(X,\mathbf{Z})=\mathbf{Z}$; take any representative of any of the two generators and this will be a fundamental chain. If $X$ is a CW-complex and $Y$ is a subcomplex, then a cellular fundamental chain can be constructed as follows: take the sum $[X]$ of all cells of the highest dimension with the orientation induced by some orientation of $X-Y$. This is a cycle since any cell of dimension one less will occur twice in $\partial [X]$, once with a plus and once with a minus.
The above conditions are satisfied if $X$ is an irreducible compact complex algebraic variety and $Y$ is a closed subvariety, since by Lojasiewicz's theorem one can triangulate $X$ so that $Y$ is a subpolyhedron. If $X$ is complex algebraic but not compact and $Y$ is still closed, then the above construction still works but the number of simplices will no longer be finite, so the fundamental class will live in the Borel-Moore homology.
If you have a finite group acting biregularly on an irreducible complex algebraic variety, then the quotient is not necessarily algebraic: it may happen that some orbits do not lie inside an affine open subset. But the fundamental class exists nonetheless: take the union of the singular locus and all points with nontrivial stabilizers. This is a subvariety whose real codimension is at least 2. Using the homology long exact sequence again one can see that the highest homology group is $\mathbf{Z}$, so any representative will ba a fundamental chain
Remark: the argument in the above paragraph is not really necessary in the case you are interested in. The quotient of the Deligne-Mumford compactifications of the moduli spaces of curves by the symmetric groups are algebraic and are coarse moduli spaces for the functor ``a family of smooth or nodal curves plus a set-valued section that does not intersect the nodes''.

Hospitality Market Overview
The hospitality market is big and diverse—a vast array of hotels, motels, inns, resorts, casinos, timeshares, and more—around the world. In the U.S. alone, it's a top 10 industry with more than 50,000 properties, nearly 5 million rooms, and more than US $150 billion in revenue.
A Unique Market Opportunity Now
As an industry, hospitality took a huge hit during the 2008-2009 financial crisis and recession, as business and leisure travel plummeted dramatically. In the years since, the industry has rebounded, albeit unevenly from one country and region to another.
In those areas, such as the U.S., where conditions have improved significantly, many hotel operators have a unique opportunity: the depressed economic conditions effectively put a lid on new hotel construction, so the current surge in the number of travelers is lifting average room rates and delivering a healthier bottom line.
This was evident in 2012, when key national lodging performance metrics—occupancy, Average Daily Rate, and Revenue per Available Room—all saw substantial improvement. The luxury, upscale and independent segments led the way. Globalization is a huge part of this trend: China is ramping up to send about 100 million leisure tourists into the international market every year, potentially generating an additional 70 million room nights.
As the lodging sector recovers, hoteliers have begun to address deferred capital expenditure, allocating an estimated US $5.0 billion in capital improvements in the U.S. in 2012, a 33 percent increase over the prior year.

Will Natty's Unity Dash have wine integration like the ubuntu-desktop session? It would be nice if it had it's own category for Wine (if installed).
The answer, bluntly, is "No, unless Mark gives me a job."
I've had designs for better integrating Wine with Ubuntu for some time, however progress has been slow as it's an awful lot of time and most of my day is spent doing "real work" and the day to day tasks of package maintenance. You can see some of this such as integrating Wine into Software Center (might not be finished by Natty), or the better Wine integration specs.
It would be neat to use things like the Unity Places API to make Wine really slick, but at the moment I barely have enough time to make sure things aren't horribly broken.

Looking for a book/article with a lucid exposition of the matrix exponential, preferably including the case of infinite matrices. Basic properties especially, but also differential equations are of interest.
There's an outstanding introduction to the matrix exponential in the classic analysis text by Kenneth Hoffman, Analysis in Euclidean Space. I reviewed the book for the MAA Online a few years ago and fell in love with the book in Dover reprint. It has a lot of original and remarkable features for an undergraduate analysis text and there's no reason not to have a copy now.
It absolutely stunned me that the matrix exponential features so prominently in that book and makes me wonder why so many undergraduate analysis texts-Rudin and Apostol included-completely skirt the subject? It stuns me because it strikes me that this is the natural place to learn about this function, that it shouldn't be postponed until either advanced differential equations or graduate differential geometry-which is where most students first learn about it. All you need is basic linear algebra to study it. It just struck me as a very strange decision. Then again,there are so many topics to cover in this critical course that are more essential, it probably just got tossed as too specialized and limited in range to include.
For infinite matrices, check out
1) R. G. Cooke, Infinite matrices and sequence spaces. London, Macmillan, 1950
2) Chapter 12 of P. Dienes' The Taylor Series
3) Mozyrska and Bartosiewicz, Dualities for linear control differential systems with infinite matrices

Anyone out there pick up an HP Touchsmart desktop for Windows 8?
I'm wondering if anyone here on woot owns an HP Touchsmart all in one desktop. I've seen it occassionally on deals.woot; never bothered giving it a second thought -- Until now...
To those of you who have a Touchsmart desktop -- have you or will you give Windows 8 developer a go?
I'm almost contemplating picking one of these up to try it...Of course, It's a big jump to drop $500 +/- on hardware to test this new OS.
I haven't found anyone who has tried doing this yet -- or rather, I haven't found anyone who has blogged/tweeted/posted about doing this yet.
What are your thoughts? If you have a Touchsmart, would you consider giving it a try?
Just considering the release of Windows 8 developer last night -- Do you think you'd be willing to install and use it?
15 Answers answer
If I had a touchsmart I sure would. I downloaded the developer preview last night and am running it on a standard notebook. Becuase of how I use my notebook at home and work I shy away from desktops, but my wife uses her's for our photography buisness.
If you can find a deal on one get it and try it out. I myself will be waiting for some newer hardware to come out. Just put it on a second partition and dual boot until you are comfortable with it.
I will continue to use a mouse and keyboard (and exclude touch) for input on my desktop systems for the foreseeable future.
@bloodshedder: I agree, whole heartedly. I won't be giving up my keyboard and mouse for a lonnngg time. Something must be engraved into my soul that it is easier to lift a finger rather than my whole arm.
However: The thought of having a touch screen for multimedia is intriguing from a developer's standpoint. I see it more of use for a social setting, a common room of sorts. Any thought of using Windows 8's apps always starts with "My friends/family and I could use this if ..... " It seems very concurrent with the social media and technology advancements.
Certainly, this won't ever replace my trusty desktop now or in the future. But with technology changing, it does produce some formidable thought of keeping up with the Joneses.
Developers need to push out what the masses want -- If we are to let them eat cake, I might as well have a piece for myself.
@yukoimada: The part "engraved into [your] soul" is experience, IMO. Touchscreens, while cool, are far less precise than the good ol' mouse and keyboard.
one in the woot off right now for 600
@icet1986: And.... its gone.
Touch makes sense for a desktop in limited situations. Most importantly, you need to have the screen CLOSE to you. If you are reaching out a lot, you're not going to enjoy it. At my desk, not one of my monitors is even within reach for me.
Beyond that, it depends on what you are doing. Touchcreen phones and tablets have had their apps designed for touch. Most desktop apps... not. So much of it would just be gimmicky. Maybe as a kitchen PC, this might be nice. Not as a "normal" desktop.
Now Windows 8 looks pretty exciting in this regard, as there seems to be a strong focus on promoting touch, without hindering the mouse and keyboard input. For a desktop, that sounds great because most things still need that mouse and keyboard, and weren't designed for touch.
If I had the cash (I don't) this might be fun to play with. Just to play with. I can't imagine using it for anything other than that. Moving on to my HP Touchpad, I'd be really interested to see THAT running Win8....
I almostttt did, but decided to wait til better hardware comes out. And, you know, the full version of Win8.
However I'm posting from the Dev Preview right now and even in Alpha form this thing is pretty damn sweet!
I didn't pick one up, I'm actually downloading Windows 8's source code and seeing what I can do with it. I've been told it can be run just fine without a touchscreen, and I plan to test it in that manner. Hoping someone is able to port it to an HP Touchpad webOS tablet.
@apfrehm: Kitchen PC or my crafting room PC is what I was shooting for. Something with easy-to-access multimedia options.
I think I'll wait a little. I'm certain I'll pick something up one day -- or at least wait until the official version of Windows 8 comes out. That would be cool to see if someone CAN port it to the webOS tablet. It'd be cool -- we could take some of those cheap chinese knockoffs with a 1ghz+ processor and port it for cheap.
I have a HP Touchsmart which came with Windows7, 64 bit. Touch worked, but the screen felt unresponsive, and the whole touch experience was very much less than exiting. Just installed Win 8 developer version. Had to do a fresh install - ugrade didn't work (the installation process couldn't decide if the PC was able to run Win 8). The installation process was longer than demonstrated in some YouTube videos. What a difference. The screen turned out to be very responsive, like on a good tablet (I have ASUS transformer to compare with - have also some experience with iPad2)). The machine also seemed to have been upgraded with a much faster processor. No crashes so far, but I didn't install much software, only Flash 11. For some reason, Flash works with IE when run from the desktop view, not when started from the Metro screen. Very impressed so far.
I should add that there are some rough edges. I have some way to go to master Metro. Difficult to quit an application, and have to close it with Task manager. Difficult to configure the wireless connection. Tend to switch to regular desktop view quite often. Wouldn't use Win 8 on my main machine, but on my kitchen TouchSmart PC which is mainly used for internet browsing, Win 8 shines.
@tskjaerpe: Yeah I've heard that Win7 touch was just sort of bungled all together. As far as Flash on Desktop version of IE instead of Touch version that is because they are totally separate programs and the touch version is geared towards total HTML 5 saturation and going to be completely "plug in" free. Which is actually nice given the sort of power HTML 5 has.
@tskjaerpe: Also Windows 8 is more than a year out. This isn't even a Beta. More like an Alpha...so tons will change closer to release.
As far as quitting apps. You can always hit alt+f4 or go to task manager, but in reality the apps don't take up any processing power when not in focus (unlike older versions of the OS). At most they will take up a few megs of RAM in the stack, but it's not like the old days where they'll clog up your system when running in the background. They are tombstoned and almost literally non-existent until brought back into focus. That said I'm sure they'll have an easier way to close them in the future.
I own a touch smart 310 that I have had almost a year. I'm downloading windows 8 as I type this. I use my PC for school and listening to music, basic things I suppose. I think this new style rocks and I own a windows phone 7 which I adore. I also have a hp touchpad I got just to play around on , and I find it suits my needs as a student and an "on the go" peron

WINTERSVILLE - Stifling defense along, with foul trouble for visiting Edison, helped Indian Creek cruise to a 72-28 victory Friday on Senior Night.
"I was proud of how hard we played," said Indian Creek head coach Joe Dunlevy. "It was nice to get a win on Senior Night. We're a work in progress. You want to get better every night that you play."
Defensively the Redskins held the Wildcats to four first quarter points - a Skylar Wilken bucket and a pair of Erik Lee free throws - to jump out to a 17-4 lead.

DEFENSE — Indian Creek's Drew Sullivan is defended by Edison's Dylan Jones during the Redskins' 72-28 victory Friday in Wintersville.
"Indian Creek is a very well coached defensive team," said Edison head coach Nate Moses. "That's where we want to be. We knew that coming in. They're going to play physical with us and we didn't handle it."
With all five seniors starting they spurred the quick start offensively with a pair of Frankie Kamarec three-pointers accompanied by a field goal and two free throws each from Alex Young and Matt Furda. The entire quintet scored in the opening stanza as Drew Sullivan scored two and Shane Winland added one from the charity stripe.
Things got worse for the Wildcats as the fouls started adding up in the first half. The visitors were called for 18 team fouls in the opening 16 minutes, three players headed into intermission with three fouls, and Creek led 36-16.
Fact Box
Indian Creek 72, Edison 28
Edison 4 12 5 7 - 28
Indian Creek 17 19 22 14 - 72
EDISON: Jones 1 2-2 5, Lee 2 3-4 7, Allese 0 3-4 3, Hyndman 0 4-4 4, Kramarich 0 0-1 0, Howell 0 0-0 0, Wilken 2 0-1 5, Springer 0 0-0 0, Woika 0 0-1 0, Schmitt 0 0-0 0, Fonow 2 0-0 4. TOTALS: 7 12-17 28. 3-pointers: Jones, Wilken.
INDIAN CREEK: Kamarec 3 0-0 9, Furda 4 6-8 14, Roar 0 0-0 0, Young 5 6-8 16, Haught 2 2-2 6, Huynh 0 0-0 0, Lewis 0 0-0 0, Anderson 2 2-2 6, Durbin 1 2-2 4, Foldi 0 0-1 0, Connor 0 2-2 2, Woodbury 0 0-0 0, Sullivan 4 0-1 8, Winland 2 3-11 7. TOTALS: 23 23-37 72. 3-pointers: Kamarec (3).
"We didn't move our feet on defense," said Moses. "We knew they were going to go baseline. They don't shoot as much from the outside. We know Kamarec is a good shooter, everyone else wants to get to the hole.
"They went baseline and we didn't move our feet. Yes, we absolutely got ourselves in foul trouble. We got ourselves in foul trouble."
Added Dunlevy, "We try to be aggressive offensively. You know their kids are trying to do the right thing. Nate's telling them the right thing to do. He's trying to build a program.
"They came in here tonight without their leading scorer (Alec Jones), and we kind of took advantage of some young kids by being aggressive and going to the basket, and getting into their second group. They're effort was every bit as good as ours.
"It was Senior Night against five seniors, and experience was probably the difference."
Things went from bad to worse for the Wildcats in the second half. The Redskins outscored Edison 22-5 to close all doubt before closing out with a 14-7 advantage in the final eight minutes after both teams emptied their benches.
As is fitting on Senior Night, the five Indian Creek 12th graders led the scoring column with Young scoring 16 points, Furda 14, Kamarec nine, Sullivan eight, and Winland seven.
Despite picking up three fouls in the first half, Lee led Edison with seven points. He didn't pick up a foul in the second half. Dylan Jones and Wilken each scored five.
"We don't stop,"said Moses. "We play the whole time. We're young. We're just trying to get better from day to day. They didn't stop playing."
A huge advantage was held at the charity stripe by the Redskins, who shot 23 for 37 to the Wildcats' 12 for 17.
Indian Creek takes to the court again Monday when it travels to Union Local where the J.V. game tips at 4 p.m. The Redskins follow that up by hosting Martins Ferry Tuesday and with a trip to St. Clairsville Thursday.
"We're going to practice tomorrow morning, and we have three games in four days next week," said Dunlevy. "We have to be ready to play."
Edison hosts Harrison Central Tuesday and Toronto next Friday.

What does it mean if someone says that "you're a minefield of information" - after you gave them some useful information. Perhaps they meant "mine of information"? What do both those phrases mean?
Sign up

Minefield is often used figuratively to refer to something dangerous – to something that may seem harmless, but really isn't. NOAD reads:
There's also a common idiom: he knows just enough to be dangerous, which is used when someone has just a little bit of knowledge about something, but is not very proficient. That little bit of knowledge can give a person a false sense of confidence that can eventually lead to trouble. (For example, if you know a little bit about engines, you might start taking one apart, only to find out you're not going to fix the engine – and you might even have trouble putting it back together again.)
Minefield of information is not an established idiom; it might have been misspoken, misheard, or else it's someone trying to say something humorous, playing off of mine of information, which is used to refer to a person or database where much valuable information can be gleaned. If that information is sometimes faulty, one might say something like:
which I think reads rather clever, but it's not an established idiom. That said, it's not completely original, either; others have used it.
The idiom I'm used to is "a gold mine of information about X," meaning someone who's willing and able to tell you a whole bunch about X. Here's a (not very detailed) verifying link.
This is rather late in the day for the question, but I only now stumbled upon this thread...
The expression "minefield of information" may be a reference to an Afrikaans novel, "Griet Skryf 'n Sprokie" by Marita van der Vyver (apparently "Entertaining Angels" in English). In it, the protagonist at one point tells her best friend, after he (as is typical for him) told her an obscure fact:
This is pretty self-explanatory, I suppose. I always thought it a rather clever image - but of course it only makes sense if the second part isn't left out.

Is there a way to make a launcher (icon) on Unity panel from Nautilus's bookmarks or it is for programs only?
I wrote a script to do that autmatically. See:
List of custom Launchers & Quicklists for Unity
Seems to only be for Programs at this point, I've just made a custom launcher and set it to Location and entered the command so it would open up where I wanted it to, then I went into Terminal and did gksudo nautilus and then navigated my way to home/username/Desktop and copied the launcher to usr/share/applications. Then I dragged the launcher to unity but it didn't stay.
If you'd like to place icons in Unity, say for example Wine programs that you've installed then I have the following instructions for you.
1 - Right click your desktop
2 - Select Create Launcher
3 - Create the custom Launcher as you want to
Now you got the launcher on the Desktop. If you are satisfied with it, get it in the Launcher Panel:
4 - Open Nautilus as root. Press Alt + F2 and paste gksu nautilus
5 - Browse to /home/your-username/Desktop

Rohan Grey
Valuable Change
This past winter, pundits penned numerous articles about the possibility of the federal government minting a platinum coin to generate funds and avoid raising the debt ceiling. That idea was already old news to Rohan Grey '14, who had, months before, organized an event addressing the issue as part of an interdisciplinary seminar series he created at Columbia Law School. That discussion brought together some of the economists who had first touted the financing solution back in 2010.
Though the Obama administration ultimately rejected the platinum coin idea, Grey explains that its legal viability illustrates a larger point about macroeconomics. "The spending constraints on currency-issuing governments are not the same as the constraints on households," he notes, adding that the government does not have to balance its budget the way a family might. "It doesn't work that way."
Grey says he created the eight-part series, titled Modern Money and Public Purpose, to dispel such basic myths about the relationship between law and macroeconomics. He organized the events with the help of M. Jonathan Brice '14. The Workers' Rights Student Coalition, a new social justice group at the Law School, signed on as a co-sponsor and, soon, so did 10 more student groups. International organizations have also taken notice. Members of Greece's Syriza political party visited the U.S. recently and asked Grey to host an event discussing their economic platform.
The Sydney native hopes the series will foster discussion on timely economic issues for years to come. He even created online tutorials to accompany each seminar. "The goal," Grey says, "is to eventually turn this into a massive, permanent, free digital learning network."

Smiths Grove City Commissioner, Terry Pierce says: "The meeting went a little more strange than I wanted it to go."
In a jam-packed, standing room only crowd, citizens of Smiths Grove faced off against the city commission. The land at the center of the meeting is owned by Velta Rose Smith.
Smith says: "On Main, the Garden Patch on Main it's been there a year and a half."
The property where the Garden Patch lies is just outside the commercial district of Smiths Grove. Smith had a Conditional Use permit issued to operate the business out of the home, but that would require someone to live at the house and no one did.
Smith says: "Last November someone filed a complaint right after the election. Then I went to planning and zoning to get it rezoned because I want to do the right thing."
Smith filed for rezoning from Residential to Neighborhood Business. The mayor was against the zoning change, but the majority of the crowd at the meeting was on Smith's side.
Commissioner Pierce says: "There was some opposition but nothing compared to the support for it. There's been overwhelming support for this zoning change."
One of the citizens brought the room to their feet clapping when he said: "You don't want to hear it. And the people want something to be done. And you all are saying, 'No we're making excuses for not doing!'"
After the room erupted in applause the mayor tried to adjourn the meeting but Commissioner Martin talked the mayor into letting the meeting continue so a vote could take place.
When the vote to rezone did pass, Mayor Gilley warned the crowd to behave, by waving his gavel at them, before adjourning.
The first reading for rezoning took place on April 25 and the second reading was Friday, May 6. The vote to rezone The Garden Patch was approved with Commissioners Varner, Martin and Pierce voting yes. Mayor Gilley voted no and Commissioner Watt abstained.
More information about the city commission is available at www.smithsgrove.org.

These are even better then the regular home-made ones! After you have these you will never EVER like regular ones with loads of butter again. I substituted plain non-fat yogurt for the butter, cut the salt in half, and added a little more vanilla. They were amazing, I've made them dozens of times, and everyone loves them.
Bev's Chocolate Chip Cookies
From EatingWell: Spring 2004, The Essential EatingWell Cookbook (2004), July/August 2012
EatingWell reader Beverley Sharpe of California contributed this recipe. She updated a favorite treat by cutting back on sugar and incorporating whole grains. To increase protein, she replaces the rolled oats with 1 cup almond meal.
179 Reviews for Bev's Chocolate Chip Cookies
Suprisingly yummy. I am chocolate cookie snob and will make this as an alternative to packaged cookies for my children's lunches
This is a great recipe by itself, but I even made a few of my own modifications to make these cookies even healthier. 1. I replaced half of the butter with Vanilla Low-Fat Natural Yogurt 2. I replaced half of the granulated sugar with natural honey (you could probably even substitute all of it, maybe the same for the butter/yogurt) 3. I used dark chocolate chips instead of milk chocolate 4. I added in a cup of slivered almonds for some extra protein and flavor
Great recipe which was very fun to alter and experiment with! VERY tasty cookies!
87 comments
I like your changes and agree
I like your changes and agree the yogurt would likely make a suitable replacement for the butter. Might you have any suggestions for high-altitude modifications for your version of this recipe?
I have been using this recipe since is first was published in 2004. The first time I made them, I used the almond meal and loved it so much I always make them that way. Some day I'll try the oatmeal.
These cookies are truly delicious, and not hard to make, easy to vary (I use dark chocolate, walnuts and craisins - yum!)

I started wearing pink sugar some time ago and I only get "OMG, you smell so good"! My daughter in High School wears it and everyone always tells her how good she smells. I was at the doctors office the other day sitting in the lobby. I man walked out of the office into the lobby and said "Damn girl you smell good enough to...... you can imagine the rest. I love this perfume!!!
Written by SherryLynn6969 on September 08, 2014
This fragrance is like a sweet, vanilla sugar cookie in scent, it's just yummy! My Husband told me that he could smell fresh baked cookies and realized it was me. I always get complements on it, too. The tester is such a deal, that as soon as I get low on the fragrance, I don't even bat an eye on re-ordering. Try it, I think you will be pleased with your purchase.
Written by Kimberly on June 17, 2014
pink sugar perfume great fragrance everybody wandering how sweet and getting sweeter and sweetest smell coming from love to enjoy the smell if you around with a crowded people or in a party they give a very inviting fragrance. Love the fresh and flowery smell.
Written by tessb on June 15, 2014
The scent didn't come out as sweet on me as some of the others mentioned. It's still a nice, light and delicate scent. It doesn't last long on me either, but that's ok because it's a daytime fragrance. I don't want it to be too overpowering at the office. I don't think I would purchase Pink Sugar again but I'm not totally displeased with it.

The title sums it up: I often hear it said during the debates on liturgy and music styles that are appropriate for worship that even Luther used common bar tunes (equivalent to days pop songs) for his hymns. Is this true?

Nope, it's not, actually. Luther used a form of music "bar form", but he was actually opposed to use of common tunes (like Calvin) for his hymns. The following is from an essay called "Major Forms of BS" by T. David Gordon:
Luther did not, but William Booth did. He said, "Why should the devil have all the good music." 1
Additionally, one of the most famous songs set to a drinking song is "The Star Spangled Banner."
Finally, back to Luther. While he did not set sacred music to drinking songs, he is credited with saying, "Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy."
Update: At least according to this source I appear to have fallen for a popular mis-attribution. That said, it is a fairly common one.

Is there a reason the Nikon 10-24 won't work for VR 360s?

I am trying to find the asymptotic expansion for $t_1,t_2 \to 0+$ of the function
$$ F_{w_0,\tau}(t_1,t_2) = \sum_{w \in \mathbb{Z}\tau+\mathbb{Z}} w \ \operatorname{exp}(- |w|^2t_1 - |w_0-w|^2t_2) $$
where we may assume that $w_0 \in \mathbb{Z}\tau +\mathbb{Z}$. The obvious first step would probably be to try and use the transformation properties of the theta functions, but this seems to lead to a rather complicated expression involving rational functions in the $t_i$. Hope anyone has suggestions/references/etc.

At Genzyme, science is at the core of what we do. It informs every step on the path to an approved treatment, from the initial discovery of a promising therapeutic candidate through the rigorous preclinical and clinical research and development necessary to deliver a marketable product.
We take a cross-functional approach, involving staff members from medical, regulatory, and sales and marketing early in the research process to help maximize our chances of both clinical and commercial success. With expertise across every step of the process, we have the capabilities to advance many kinds of research programs:
Success Story: Our First Therapy
Developing a new therapy is a challenging process – it takes many years, costs millions of dollars, and has a low rate of success. Persistence is a hallmark of good science, and a fundamental element of Genzyme's research philosophy. It took us 10 years to bring our first therapeutic product to market, a first-of-its-kind enzyme replacement to treat the rare genetic disorder Gaucher disease. Yet we persevered out of a commitment to a small group of patients that had no other alternative. Our success changed the lives of these patients – and established a business model for treatment of orphan diseases.
A Therapeutic Breakthrough
During his acceptance speech for Babson College's 2010 Distinguished Entrepreneur award, Genzyme's former CEO Henri Termeer tells the story of the challenges we faced on the road to launching our first therapy.
Genzyme's research is oriented around medical areas where we feel new therapies can have a significant impact, emphasizing our primary areas of focus – rare diseases and neuroimmunological disorders such as multiple sclerosis. Our science organization includes researchers that are among the world's leading experts in these disease areas, bringing knowledge, resources, and credibility within the scientific community to our efforts.
To explore solutions to our targeted medical areas, we have developed a diverse array of cutting-edge technology platforms that include both biologic and chemical approaches. Our product development efforts emerge from a "matrix" of our research areas crossed with these technologies.
Genzyme's scientists and researchers are fully integrated into our entire operations. They communicate regularly with our clinical, commercial, and regulatory experts and with outside clinicians to fully understand the needs that drive our business and to discuss new opportunities. These synergies have allowed us to innovate not only in our scientific discoveries, but also in the processes that lead to a marketable product. For example, we brought the first cell therapy to market largely by pioneering the regulatory path for its approval – and opened the door for a new class of treatments.
Discovering Hope
At Genzyme, science is at the core of what we do. Find out how we successfully developed cutting-edge therapies for rare diseases and multiple sclerosis, and how our scientists continue to innovate on behalf of patients today.
Our scientists are also part of a broader Sanofi research organization known as the Boston R&D Hub. In this highly collaborative environment, scientists with a variety of different areas of expertise share ideas freely and openly.
Looking Outward: Global Collaborations
Every year, Genzyme invests hundreds of millions of dollars into research and development, yet that is only a fraction of what is spent globally in the field. We recognize that to have a meaningful impact, we need to reach beyond the bounds of our company and access an even more extensive base of scientific knowledge and resources.
Our research facilities are located in Massachusetts, home to some of the world's most renowned scientific communities, and our scientists collaborate frequently with researchers from MIT, Harvard, Massachusetts General Hospital, and other organizations in the area. But we have also built strong relationships with universities, hospitals, companies, disease-associated foundations, and patient organizations around the world. Our scientists stay connected to the larger scientific community through conferences, symposiums, and personal networking. These activities and relationships help us stay abreast of the latest technologies and better understand regional medical needs, practices, and regulatory requirements.
Staying involved also helps us identify potential collaborators – a critical part of our business. We actively pursue partnerships, joint ventures, licensing opportunities, co-sponsored trials, and other activities to help advance our research efforts. Over the years, we've collaborated with investigators at universities, research institutions, private companies, and government organizations to put science to work for patients in need around the world.
Learn more about Genzyme's support for investigator-sponsored studies
We recently entered into a partnership with Alnylam Pharmaceuticals to co-develop and co-commercialize several potential treatments for rare genetic diseases. These products are a new class of therapeutics based on RNA interference. RNAi, also known as "gene silencing," works by inhibiting the production of proteins that cause or contribute to the targeted disease.

- Absolutely, positively in love with your Cupcake popcorn!!!!
I received as an awesome Christmas gift at the office and fell in love with Cupcake popcorn. First time that I even heard of Popcornopolis and since popcorn is my all-time quenticential favorite snack, I'll be visiting your site often and probably ordering a few cupcake cones from time to time to keep my pantry well stock! I love the presentation in the cones, it's nostalgic - like eating at a state fair. Thanks for a deliciously great product!

I had my first taste of your delectable popcorn approximately 4 years ago at the local Costco and have been in love with it ever since. Zebra is the family favorite, as a matter of fact, I purchased a three cone mix of the Cheddar, Caramel and Zebra last weekend, and I have devoured all three of them. However, I did manage to allow my daughter to have the last of the Zebra flavor, only because I had eaten all of the two other cones all by my lonesome!!! Just ordered the four jumbo cones and I am counting down the days until they are delivered!!! Yummy!!!!!
Thank you for making the most delicious popcorn EVER!!!

How long after eating should I wait to exercise, or does it not matter? I am mainly talking about cardio, not weightlifting. I am trying to lose weight, not gain it, and in large amounts.
Sign up

It takes 30 to 40 minutes for food to digest in your stomach and 3 to 4 hours for it to absorb in your intestines. I agree that there is no strict formula for this, since it also depends on what you eat and how you intend to expend that energy.
From my experience if I eat a large meal which is heavy in carbohydrates I see my best performance with a high intensity exercise 6 to 8 hours later. I have also consumed protein shakes within 15 minutes of a weight training circuit and have seen strengthened results. I recommend you experiment and find your own ideal wait length.
If you start exercising and you throw up, you need to wait longer next time.
BTW, you're probably not trying to "lose weight", you're trying to lose fat. In any case, look into weight lifting, it's quite a bit more effective in terms of results per time spent exercising.
Unfortunately, there is no strict formula for this and the answer strongly depends on the intensity of exercise.
If you are uncomfortable when exercising, it has a direct effect on my performance. If I eat a full meal, I have to wait 2 to 3 hours before high intensity exercise.
That said, before a low intensity exercise like a long run (>10 miles) I always try to get some calories in me. Banana's, bagel, powerbar, and tons of fluids. More than 15 miles, I try to add calories during.
The simple fact of the matter is that after eating your body diverts blood flow to your stomach and intestines to digest and soak up the goodies in your food. If you try to exercise too soon then your body won't be able to cope with the increased requirement of blood to the muscles as well. Not to mention that the increased internal pressure on the abdomen may cause you to chunder (puke).
How long you should wait is really a subjective question just as with weight loss - where the individual's biovariables determine the rate at which exercise will have an effect. But about an hour is a typical duration to wait, preferably 2.
In your question you state, that you want to lose weight, but you aren't doing any weight training.
If you really want to lose huge amounts of weight (fat I presume?) you should absolutely include weight training into your workouts. (First weight training, then cardio training) A combined training is much more effective in burning fat.
If you are worried about gaining muscle, you can do a few things to prevent it. (Although I can't image why one should want this, since additional muscle tissue means additional calorie consumption and thus faster weight loss)
Not a direct answer to your question, but if you're trying to lose weight, cardio will work for the first 6-8 weeks, and after that, it may actually have the reverse effect. I've seen it time and time again with my clients (I'm a personal trainer) who've been doing cardio for a long time, but inevitably weight collects around the belly.
So what do you do? You really should do weightlifting to lose weight. You don't have to worry about gaining weight as a result of weightlifting if you're in a caloric deficit. To gain weight, you need a caloric surplus, and since your calories are going to be low enough to lose weight, weightlifting will only have the effect of toning and speeding up the metabolism.
Exercises like squats (which can be seen here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kp4zZmVc2nQ), lat pulldowns, pushups, overhead presses, and other will help you with your goal.

Sarah Sobieraj '93, professor of sociology at Tufts University, will speak on "Covered: Activists, Journalists, and News in a Shifting Media Landscape" on April 4 at 2:30pm in Newton 201. The event is free and open to the public.
Sobieraj asserts that activists' all-consuming media work fails to generate news coverage, undermines their ability to communicate with pedestrians, and damages the groups themselves. Her talk will unravel why news coverage is so difficult to garner, and explore alternatives to media-centrism. The presentation will close with a brief discussion of the coverage of the Occupy Wall Street protests and the role of new media in activism today.
Sobieraj, a SUNY Geneseo graduate, studies issues of political voice and visibility in the United States, with a focus on the emphases and omissions of mainstream political media.Her most recent journal articles can be found in Political Communication, Social Problems, Sociological Theory, Sociological Inquiry and Social Science Quarterly. Her book, Soundbitten: The Perils of Media Centered Political Activism (NYU Press, 2011) examines activist voices that are often underrepresented in political media, while her book-in-progress, The Outrage Industry (with Jeff Berry) examines a set of charismatic yet polarizing political talk media celebrities whose opinions and antics receive no shortage of airtime.

What is a good way of cultivating patience?
I feel that the impatience (the urge to get done with things irrespective of quality) severely hampers my productivity. I tend to have to redo the things and that kills a lot of time.
I want to be more patient with my work.
I have tried counting with the clock and looking endlessly at candles but it all seems directionless and non-quantitative (Whatever you can measure, you can achieve. I can't measure any of this)

An outlet for aspiring gaming journalists
I stumbled upon this forum accidentally today, which could be a good thing. Getting a job in any career usually requires a good portfolio.
Our new project, Zergwatch.Com (launched in Feb) is about giving bloggers and aspiring journalists in the gaming industry a place to publish their work outside of blog software and message boards.
You can read our online press release here
In a sense, you can see we are an Indy gaming media outlet. Our goal is to help aspiring writers and bloggers by putting their work in front of the masses.
When you publish your work to zergwatch, you own it, you own the rights, it back links to your webpage or blog and we're 100% hands off on the creative end.
Once its on Zergwatch, it is syndicated to several dozen other news syndication sites, social media sites and high profile blogs.
The downside of this unfortunately (for some of you) is that we do not want articles that you would see on the major media outlet's pages.
We want provocative, thought provoking, non-corporate influenced news that gamers REALLY want to read. Not just another "Here's why super smash bros. brawl is the best" type of articles. Gaming fiction is also welcome on our site.
If you're interest in posting your work on Zergwatch, you are more than welcome to try out our beta. We do not pay. Our service is free to writers and its free to use.
We hope to be the media outlet that helps independent bloggers and journalists get recognized and maybe get their feet into some doors.
Zergwatch is owned by StiltonCompany, LLC of Jackson, NJ. We have several very successful projects like Zergwatch in the Family Travel and Family Entertainment industry which receive millions of readers per year.
I also write the 2nd most popular gaming blog on mmorpg.com, Samhain's Zergwatch. In our first alpha testing period between Feburary 01-March 01 2008, we delivered articles to over 24,000 readers including some very influential industry leaders, producers and designers who have commented to us about the site.

Will reaching a certain Elo ranking give you any type of award? If so, how does it work?
Last season, people got a border around their summoner profile depending on their rating (Bronze, Silver, Gold, Plat). Gold and Plat players got an exclusive Jarvan skin called "Victorious Jarvan IV". As well as a forum badge.
Edit: Not sure what they will plan for season two, but it is still young, so don't expect anything for awhile.
It doesn't give any rewards. There is a ladder (ranking) and you get to see how you are doing compared to others. People also got borders around their avatars at the end of last season.
