People who have received or are actively receiving certain cancer therapies are at an increased risk for developing osteoporosis. Osteoporosis and osteopenia (the precursor to osteoporosis) are medical terms for decreases in bone density, or a "thinning" of the bones, which increases the risk of fracture (breakage) of the affected bones. The disease most often affects the hips, spine and wrists, and is responsible for 2 million fractures a year in the U.S. Cancer survivors at risk for osteoporosis should take steps to prevent the disease and have appropriate screening.
Our bones provide support and structure for our body, as well as storage for essential nutrients. Your bones are continually being damaged and repaired by a complex system involving osteoclasts, which are cells that break down old bone, and osteoblasts, which are cells that form new bone. The body maintains a delicate balance between the breakdown of old or damaged bone and the formation of new bone, also known as bone remodeling, to maintain bone strength. Estrogen, parathyroid hormone and testosterone play critical roles in regulating bone remodeling. In osteoporosis, more bone is being destroyed than is being formed, leading to weakened bones.
There are additional risk factors that are not specific to having cancer, such as smoking, consuming excessive alcohol, leading an inactive lifestyle, being petite and thin, having a diet low in calcium and vitamin D, and missing menstrual periods. Osteoporosis is more common in women (80% women, 20% men), those with a family history, Caucasians and those of Asian or Latino descent, although all races have some risk. You can learn more about other risk factors by visiting the National Osteoporosis Foundation.
Screening for osteoporosis is done with a bone mineral density (BMD) test, of which a DEXA scan is the most commonly used. For the general public, screening is recommended to begin for women at age 65 (then every 2 years thereafter) and, for men, a baseline at age 70. Experts recommend screening for all female postmenopausal cancer survivors who have one or more risk factors (regardless of age), and to repeat the test every year. Men who are undergoing ADT or orchiectomy should have a baseline screening, with further testing depending on their results and risk factors. Cancer survivors should discuss their specific risk and need for screening with their healthcare team. Risk can be evaluated using the FRAX® tool, which was developed by the World Health Organization to evaluate the risk of fracture in people.
While you may not be able to change your family and health history, there are some steps you can take to protect your bones.
Our bodies cannot produce calcium, so we must be sure to get enough in our diet to support healthy bones. On the nutritional label of a food that contains calcium, you will see "calcium" followed by a percentage, which is the percentage of the recommended daily amount (RDA) (1000 mg). A label reading 20% calcium means the product has 200mg of calcium per serving (multiply the percentage by 10 to get the mg of calcium per serving). For example, a typical 8 oz. glass of milk has 30% of the RDA, or 300mg. You should aim for the recommended 1000 – 1200 mg per day as noted above.
Dairy foods, such as milk, yogurt and cheese, are highest in calcium. Dark, green vegetables, such as broccoli, kale and collard greens, contain calcium as well. Some foods are fortified with calcium, but read the labels to get an idea just how much they contain. Calcium fortified orange juice is one good source. Spinach and rhubarb contain calcium, but also contains large amounts of oxalate and phytate, which prevent the body from absorbing their calcium. However, they do not interfere with the absorption of calcium from other foods. Other good sources of calcium include almonds, sunflower seeds, apricots and figs.
Calcium supplements are an easy way to get the recommended daily amount and come in 2 forms: calcium carbonate and calcium citrate. The body does have some trouble absorbing large amounts of calcium, so supplements should be split into 2 or more doses per day. Calcium carbonate requires stomach acid to be absorbed by the body, therefore people that take acid reducers (such as Zantac, Tagamet) and/or proton pump inhibitors (such as Prilosec, Prevacid, etc) should use calcium citrate. If you have trouble tolerating your calcium supplement, talk to your doctor or nurse; there may be another formulation you can tolerate more easily.
Vitamin D is often called the "sunshine vitamin" because our skin converts ultraviolet rays from the sun into vitamin D. In general, 10-15 minutes of sun exposure on the hands, arms and face creates the needed amount. However, it is difficult to measure how much vitamin D you are getting by this method and the amount can vary by season or location. Very few foods contain vitamin D naturally; these include certain fish (salmon, tuna) and fish liver oils, while egg yolks and beef liver contain small amounts. Many foods are fortified with vitamin D, once again, read the nutrition labels to know how much! You may notice that vitamin D is available in two forms, D2 and D3. Supplements typically contain D3. Research has found that both are beneficial for bone health. A cup of fortified milk contains about 100 international units (iu) of vitamin D. A multivitamin contains 400iu and some calcium supplements also include vitamin D. You should aim for 400-800iu per day (800-1000iu for women over 50). Talk to your doctor or nurse about whether or not you should have your Vitamin D blood levels checked.
If your healthcare team determines that you have osteoporosis or osteopenia, they may recommend medications to prevent it from getting worse. The main category of medication used to treat osteoporosis is called antiresorptive medications, which work by slowing the rate of bone breakdown. While breakdown is slowed, the formation of bone occurs at the same speed, which may allow bone density to improve. Antiresorptive medications include bisphosphonates (such as alendronate, zoledronic acid, etc.), raloxifene (a selective estrogen receptor modifier or SERM) and calcitonin. PTH (teriparatide) is a type of parathyroid hormone, which increases the rate of bone formation, allowing bones to strengthen, but is much less commonly used because of significant side effects. If you are taking a bisphosphonate, be sure to talk to your doctor or nurse if you have major dental work planned; you may need to temporarily hold this medication.
Each of the medications has some risk of side effects and may not be appropriate for every patient. Discuss your medical options for treating osteoporosis with your healthcare team.

My workflow includes some steps that make me wait for 0.5 to 2 minutes to complete: long remote git operations, creating / rebooting an instance in the cloud, etc. It's safe to assume that these operations cannot be made any faster.
The resulting delays are the biggest flow-breakers for me. These are too long to just sit and stare at the progress indicators, but too short to take a walk and grab a coffee. Temptation to check some websites is big, and it's often a road to 20-30 minutes of procrastination + the time to get into the flow again.
What are your coping strategies?

5 Rulers Whose Idiot Siblings Nearly Screwed the World
#2. The Brother of One of the World's Richest Men, Jefri Bolkiah
Before Bill Gates starting taking the title of World's Richest Man every year, the title usually went to the Sultan of Brunei, Hassanal Bolkiah. In 2009 he made the list of the world's richest royals with a net worth of $20 billion.
Via Faroukmisr.net
And $2.8 billion in shiny medals.
He's called the Sultan of Brunei because Brunei is a small country in Southeast Asia on the island of Borneo, made insanely rich by, you guessed it, oil and natural gas. And like many countries that control vast amounts of resources, Brunei is family owned, in this case by a sultanship. Which means any family member can fill any important government position.
You can guess where this is going.
The Sultan of Brunei's brother Jefri Bolkiah was a bit of a troublemaker. Initially he got into the press due to his escapades with his harem of over 40 women. Eventually things got embarrassing enough that the sultan gave him the job of finance minister, just to keep him out of the papers (because who cares about the minister of finance?), thinking he couldn't do any real damage there.
Via Jillianlauren.com
If your brother sports a porn-stache, just assume the worst no matter what.
Between 1986 and 1998, Jefri managed to embezzle over 14 BILLION dollars out of the country through special transfers.
Afterward he went on the kind of spending spree that only a billionaire could manage. Jefri didn't buy luxuyry goods -- he bought entire luxury goods stores. Also, fleets of cars and airplanes, yachts, chains of hotels, etc. He even flew women into Brunei to sexually abuse. Nice guy.
After the Asian markets collapsed in the late 1990s, Brunei's accountants soon noticed the $14 billion and followed the trail to Prince Jefri.
Via Lifeisreallybeautifil.com
And by trail, we mean row after row of luxury yachts clogging up the harbor.
Naturally the sultan got pissed when he found out Jefri had siphoned a good 10 percent or so of the country's funds over the course of 12 years. The sultan tried to grab him before other countries or fellow Brunei citizens could, but Jefri skipped the country. So Hassanal simply banned him from the country for the next decade, with Jefri not being allowed back until 2009. After all, what's a little $14 billion among family?
The United States and United Kingdom brought several court cases, costing Brunei millions more to settle lawsuits caused by Jefri's misdoings. Brunei's reputation was ruined, the sultan still loses millions each year and Jefri is currently under virtual house arrest for pretty much the biggest embezzling job in history. Most importantly, though, this has probably led to some of the most awkward family dinners ever.

#1. Albert Goering, Brother of Hitler's Right-Hand Man, Hermann Goering
So let's turn this on its head for a moment. What happens when the powerful sibling is an asshole? Like, say, a high-ranking member of a fascist regime? How can a screw-up brother throw a wrench in that? By being too nice?
In the 1930s, the Nazis stormed into power in Germany and quickly set up shop. As a result, all of Adolf Hitler's buddies soon got top jobs, including Hermann Goering, who quickly moved up the ranks from head of the German Air Force in 1935 to being Hitler's number one man in 1941. Things were working out well for Hermann, except for two small things: The Allies quickly fighting back against German advances, and his fuckup brother, Albert Goering.
Via Daily Mail
He's the one with the mustache.
Unlike big brother Hermann, Albert wasn't exactly a fan of Nazis. In fact, he hated Nazism, particularly because of all the violent tactics Nazis used against people who opposed them, but also because it was possible his dad was Jewish (a Jewish aristocrat banged his mother about a year before he was born, and Albert looked a lot like him).
Via Guardian
Assuming his godfather loved cigarette holders and had an ultra-smooth forehead.
So, Albert started doing some decidedly un-Nazi things. When some Jewish women were forced to clean a street, he went down and started helping them. And when a German officer stopped him and immediately recognized him as the brother of Hitler's right-hand man, he had everyone stop and go home.
Another time, when his Jewish mentor in business, Oskar Pilzner, was sent to a concentration camp, he used his brother's name to not just get Pilzner and his family set free, but also sent them out of Germany. When Hermann heard about what Albert did, he kept it quiet from his temperamental boss and stuck his brother at a small position at a factory outside of Germany so he couldn't cause any more good deeds for humanity.
"'Brother?' I don't have a brother. Is that even a real word?"
Despite being relocated as a director of a remote Czechoslovakian factory, Albert still caused a lot of trouble by working even more aggressively against his country. He actually teamed up with the Czech resistance and helped sabotage his own factory while also forging his brother's signature on transit papers to help countless more Jews and dissidents escape out of Nazi-controlled territory. When he was caught doing this, all he had to do was phone up his brother, who bailed him out, much to Hermann's annoyance. And most famously, he sent for workers from concentration camps, where he then ordered the trucks on the way back to "mysteriously" break down, allowing the people to escape.
After the war, he was almost convicted of war crimes and was imprisoned for many years just because of his name, but so many of the Jewish survivors he saved came to his defense that he was let go. This was not the same for Hermann, the brother he pissed off numerous times. Hermann committed suicide during his trial in 1946.
Via Auschwitz.dk
"Screw you, Evil, I do what I want. You are not the boss of me."
As for Albert, he would go on to live a quiet and difficult life. But we like to think his final act summed him up: He was getting old and close to death, and he wanted to do something nice for his housekeeper. So he married her ... just so that when he died, she would keep getting a pension check as his widow.

I have created a simulation of one electron bouncing through a 3D mesh of molecules. The electron hopping is determined by a calculation of electron transfer rate using the Marcus equation (a result in units of $1/s$). In order to force the electron to reach one end of this 3D mesh I have applied a driving energy $dE$ (negative) to each molecule.
I am familiar with the electric field equation but I do not see how it applies to one electron bouncing through many molecules. How do I go about calculating the electric field that I applied?

Boys basketball notebook: Kaynor star earned his 1,000 points
The Kaynor Tech boys basketball team is on a torrid pace, winning seven straight games after a season-opening loss to Notre Dame of Fairfield.
A lot of the success of the Panthers has been the steady play of senior swingman Tre-Kel Douglas, who scored his 1,000th career point last week. He currently leads the Panthers with a 19.9-ppg. scoring average.
"Tre-Kel could have scored his 1,000th point last year, but he's playing within the team concept," said Kaynor Tech coach Hank Spellman. "That makes him as good as he is. When he is on the floor, nobody can stop him. He's got quickness, strength and desire. He has an uncanny will that the ball will go in.
"A lot of guys score 1,000 points, but he did it on some very good teams where he wasn't the one scoring all the points, which is always greatly appreciated," added Spellman. "He always scored within the team set and never just looked out for Tre-Kel. Tre-Kel earned every one of those points."
Spellman, a defensive-minded coach, said he sees Douglas picking up his game on both sides of the court in recent games.
"When Tre-Kel puts his mind to it, he can be a defensive stopper," said Spellman. "I think he realizes that when he plays his best defense, he is at his best."
Kaynor Tech, the defending CSC champion and a Class M semifinalist last year, visits Abbott Tech of Danbury tonight at 7 and hosts Goodwin Tech of New Britain on Monday, also at 7.
Filling a huge role: Wolcott coach Matt Craig needed to fill a role at point guard this season with the graduation loss of T.J. Gianni. He found exactly what he was looking for.
Senior Christian Parafati has stepped in and been steady for the surging Eagles (7-1), winners of seven in a row since a season-opening loss to Naugatuck.
"Christian really worked hard in the off-season. He has done a great job of running the offense and is able to orchestrate the guys on where they should go. He's able to take over and find the open man and make sure they are not forcing shots and settling for the first shot, but the best shot."
When Parafati has needed a breather, sophomore Vincent Gambino has been equally effective.
"There is such a competition every day in practice bwetween the two," said Craig. "They're a great tandem. They understand their roles very well and have been able to take their game to the next level."
Wolcott play at Sacred Heart (2-6) tonight at 7 at Alumni Hall.
Career-high games: Woodland senior swingman Rahmi Rountree scored a career-high 34 points Tuesday in an 82-74 loss to Torrington.
Rountree was the Hawks' point guard two seasons ago before transferring to Cheshire last year. He returned to Beacon Falls this fall and was a huge playmaker for the playoff-bound football team.
"Football players need time to get into basketball mode and he's one of kids who has started to get into basketball shape," said Woodland coach Tom Hunt. "He is finding his touch again and his (overall) game is coming around for him."
With David Uhl playing the point, Rountree was able to able to make the smooth transition to the wing.
"Rahmi has been able to handle it and gives us another option," said Hunt.
Rountree made things tough for Torrington.
"Rahmi hit some really tough shots," noted Torrington coach Eric Gamari. "We had a defender right on him and he made the shots."
Standing tall: Another milestone performance came at the opposite side of the court, where 6-foot-10 senior Dave Canny of Torrington scored 33 points, which included converting 11 of 13 free throws.
Canny is averaging 24.3 points, 11.1 rebounds (34 offensive, 55 defensive), and 2.8 blocked shots (22) for the Raiders (3-5). His lowest scoring output was 16 against Naugatuck.
"Dave's doing a real good job in the post," said Gamari. "For him, it's all about winning. We've had discussions about not making the state tournament in two years, and he wants to do whatever he can to help us."
Second-half surge: Taft postgraduate Joey Flannery of Acton, Mass., scored 23 of his season-high 27 points in the second half in a 70-48 win over Kent School on Wednesday. He finished with 12-of-16 from the field.
"Joey is a scorer and is very good from the outside, and he's strong taking it to the basket," said Taft coach Dave Hinman. "He can score in different ways, and in the second half he got into a rhythm. He also had four put-backs. In the first half, he wasn't really getting good looks, but Shawn Strickland did a really good job of making decisions and getting him the ball out on the wing in the second half."
Flannery is headed to Babson College in the fall.

hi everybody, I have already finished the Hartshorne's algebraic geometry from chapter 1 to chapter 4, so I'd like to find some suggestions about the next step to study arithmetic geometry. I want to know that how to use the scheme theory and their cohomology to solove the arithmeic problem.Would you like to recommend me some of these kind of books and papers?
Thank you very much!
PS: I also want to learn some materials about moduli theory, if you like, could you recommend me some books or papers ?

I already installed Multiple Post Thumbnails. However I would like to allow the user to decide how many images he associates with the post (or rather page in my special case).
I could of course just define a ridiculously high amount of post thumbnails and ignore the unset ones in the template. However that just doesn't seem right and would unnecessarily clutter the "Create Page" interface

6 Objects You Won't Believe People Managed to Lose
#3. The San Jose
In 1708, old adversaries, the British and the Spanish, were fighting the War of Spanish Succession. One fateful day in the Caribbean, the Spanish ship San Jose was going back to Spain when passing English ships casually blew it up off the coast of Cartagena, Colombia, and continued on their way.
Via Wiki Commons
They probably just wanted to see the awesome explosion.
What the British didn't know was that the San Jose was carrying six years of accumulated treasure on board the ship, including 344 tons of silver and gold, 116 chests of emeralds and pretty much the entire life savings of the Viceroy of Peru. All in all, it is worth about $2 billion in today's market, and some estimate that collectors might cough up as much as $10 billion to secure it. Despite many desperate searches in the area they're pretty sure it went down, nothing has been found.
As the years have passed, more and more people have been trying to find this elusive treasure. By the 1980s, actor Michael Landon and former Nixon aide John Ehrlichman got in on a few expeditions to find it. But since 1984, legal expeditions have dropped dramatically ever since the Colombian government dropped the finders share slightly, from 50 percent to, well, five percent.
And if 70s television star Michael Landon can't do it, what hope is left?
However, there is one imposing nonlegal hurdle to all this: We still don't know where the hell the wreck is. The Colombian government doesn't really allow things like SONAR and other remote methods of searching, so all treasure hunters really know are vague descriptions given by a few British sailors who helped deep six the boat, as well as a few murky videos from 1982 that may or may not be the San Jose. So the $2 billion is still out there, waiting to be rediscovered.
"Once we find that ship, we'll be filling our oxygen tanks with caviar."
#2. The 18 1/2 Minute Gap in the Watergate Tape
Via Wiki Commons
If there is one thing that defines the Nixon presidency, it's the Watergate Scandal.
If there were two things, it would be that and getting to meet Tom Hanks.
Richard Nixon resigned as president in 1974, after it was discovered he kinda knew and approved of breaking into and bugging democratic party offices. This was due in part to the fact that Nixon was so chronically obsessed with bugging things that he recorded all his own conversations to later be used in his memoirs. The tapes were then listened to, and evidence piled up, including one tape where Nixon asked his aides to tell the FBI to stop its investigation, which for those of you who don't know, is obstruction of justice -- a severe criminal offense.
Via Wiki Commons
This is the most innocent we've ever seen Nixon look, and we're still pretty sure that piano is filled with strangled puppies.
While the taped evidence sealed Nixon's fate, there were several noticeable missing gaps in the tapes, including an almost 19 minute gap in a tape of Nixon talking to his chief of staff, H.R. Haldeman. His same chief of staff who helped orchestrate the break-ins and who was later arrested and imprisoned for 18 months.
Via Wiki Commons
No word what his hair got.
When the commission in charge of the case asked why over 18 minutes had been erased, many weak excuses were given, including putting the blame on Nixon's secretary. Since the tapes were probably not "accidentally" erased, it is generally viewed that something unlawful was recorded. But what was it? Nixon giving the orders to bug the offices? Nixon ordering an assassination? Nixon telling Haldeman to follow the clues to lead him to the treasure? We'll never know, as they are lost to history.
Via Wiki Commons
We're forced to assume it was the location of the San Jose treasure.
Or maybe not. While the exact words are still lost, they may not be for long. The National Archives is currently trying to find the exact point in the tapes where it was erased and, with the aid of future technology, maybe restore it. Several attempts have already been made. They know where it is, but not how to find it. Someday, we may get to hear what Nixon did not want us to hear.
#1. Nuclear Bombs
Via Wiki Commons
Militaries are very good at hurling bombs at each other, but not so good at cleaning them up. This is why, for instance, 90 years after WWI over 900 tons of unexploded bombs are still being found around Europe. Even with today's advanced remote-sensing technology, many bombs are not found until a farmer clips one with a plow. And because bombs sank into the soil over time, they appear each spring after the frozen earth pushes them back to the surface. This is what the locals call the "Iron Harvest," as each year brings a new "crop."

WARNING: Do not stir-fry.
And these are not the simple "hit them and they explode" bombs, either -- many of them contain mustard gas and other dangerous chemicals that can murder you from a distance. The bombs are still so dangerous that sometimes entire towns have to be evacuated. But still, you know, it's not like there are nukes laying around out there.

Are we the only ones who think this would make a badass kitchen table?
Ah, about that ...
The United States has officially acknowledged 11 nuclear weapons lost over the years, while the Russians have had several weapons just go missing, with hundreds of attempts to steal weapons from their facilities. But according to several watchdog organizations, including Greenpeace, there are about 50 nuclear weapons currently unaccounted for, most of them at sea. That's basically misplacing an apocalypse.

"So ... should we just keep this thing in Steve's storage shed, or what?"
In case you are thinking of making an expedition to find one of these, most of them are in areas that humans cannot easily get to. One such place is in British Columbia, where a bomb was lost on the way to a simulated strike of San Francisco. Another bomb, accidentally lost when a U.S. Air Force B-52 crashed in 1968, is in the middle of Greenland, so we can't find it until global warming kicks in.
But then, a lot of these missing bombs, lovingly termed "broken arrows" by the U.S. military, are lost at sea and eerily close to civilization. One bomb was lost in 1965 when the jet it was attached to simply rolled off the loading elevator into the ocean, only 80 miles off the coast of Japan. Then there is the case of the hydrogen bomb lost in 1958 in the ocean less than half a mile off the coast of Georgia. As in the U.S. state of Georgia.

Odds are, a few of you live within miles of this bomb.
But not to fret, the military powers that be say that most do not have sufficient material for a nuclear blast. So don't worry, most won't explode probably!

I was looking for answers for a configuration issue on my laptop but then I got to reading the answers to this post. There was one that troubled me slightly (the last one by Lauri) which says how to fix the users problem of the lost password by rebooting it and setting a new one on boot.
This seems like a security flaw to me if it works. What if someone rebooted your mac and changed your password for giggles or to have a snoop around or set up another username etc. Is this the tip of the iceberg? How can a user prevent that sort of thing being possible?

I work in the computer trade and frequently find that when I'm assigned a problem to solve, it invariably happens that other problems need solving before I can work on the real issue. Is there a word for these on-the-way problems?

I think I would simply call it a sub-problem.
(If the problem is mathematical, there is a specific term for it; lemma.)
A prerequisite perhaps?
For example, I have the problem of adding a new transport protocol to a device. A prerequisite of that is to make the segmentation threshold at the client end adjustable, and a prerequisite of that is to install the tools that will let me build the client.
One term I've heard used for this sort of thing is dependencies.
This comes from a common geekspeak etymological process: imagine you were a computer program; then, what technical programming term would apply to this situation? I'd imagine that most programmers would grok this pretty quickly, while most people without programming experience would need an explanation. So whether it is appropriate would depend a lot on whom you're trying to communicate with.
I like "roadblock" or "stumbling block" for that sort of thing.
My preferred term is a "threshold issue." You can't go through until you cross the threshold (resolve the issue).
I consistently use "bottleneck issue" (or "bottleneck result") to describe this: you have no way around it to reach your goal.
In particular, in technical reports and research planning, I commonly read references to "technological bottlenecks", i.e. key technologies (or components thereof) that need to be worked out for a full solution to be implemented.
Besides the "prerequisite" I use "blocking step" and precondition
I use the term secondary problem. Secondary work is often used to describe tasks in the way you are mentioning problems. i.e. I want to wrap a package, but first I have to find the scissors. Whether you are describing the thing as a problem to be solved, or a task to do, I find secondary, tertiary, etc. useful to convey that Im working on something, but one level removed from my ultimate goal.
Another term I use is 'blocking' or 'masking'. In dealing with computer programming issues, you often find yourself revealing layers of issues. As you resolve issue, a second issue might arise because you a) got further into the program or b)there was some sort of ripple effect.
You could say issue1 was a blocking issue. Issue2 was not found until Issue1 was resolved.
Taken to an extreme you get "yac shaving", but that does not apply only one or two levels in, and may not be understood by non-hacker audiences without some explanation.
In more general managerial contexts you might use the phrase "critical-path issue", but it is a bit of a mouthful and sounds like it is wearing a suit. This also carries some implication about timing requirements: not only is it required, but it needs addressing before any other absolute requirements.
Speaking metaphorically, your "problemettes" might be:
on your way to the finishing line.
There is a huge variety of "stuff that needs to be done in order to do other stuff". Some of those very specific things (which are not at all synonymous with each other):
While most of these words and phrases describe some specific literal task in the early stages of farming, roadwork, and building construction, many of them are also used as a metaphor for analogous tasks in other fields, or a synecdoche for all the preparatory work in general.
I call them dominoes, as in there is always some other domino / problem to knock over / solve before you get to the main one.
The term I hear most often is showstopper.
OK, after reading some responses and thinking of this question I'm going to coin a portmanteau. These problems are prequirements. ;-)
Not a single word, but this is at least related to a "Critical Event chain."
In [software] engineering, such a problem is called a
If I have to solve other problems before getting to the one I want to/have to focus on, I generally just call them steps: "step 1," "step 2," etc..
In French they sometimes talk about "le ticket d'entrée" - but that's more to do with the up-front cost of learning a new technology (before benefiting from any - hypothetical - productivity gains).
Down-payment? Pinched from another domain, but it might fly. Though it implies money more than work.
Meta-problem? (Meta as in 'before').
I think there is probably a difference to be made between 'drudge/donkey work' (setting up IDE, etc.) and a 'real' up-front problem (something that requires the same level of problem-solving as the actual problem to be solved). Maybe that though will inspire some more answers...

Most definitely we should! An unhappy A-Rod would not be good for business. Plus we'd know exactly how much we'd have to spend on Clay and B.J., and how much we'd have to shave from other contracts, and who we'd have to cut to get those deals under the cap.Hide replies
BJ is overrated when he is included in the same discussion with Matthews and Rodgers. He should be kept out of the equation.
Hasn't this been more or less accepted as necessary for some time now?
It would help the team more to do AR's contract next spring, Finley will clear 8 mil off the books after this year.
Front load CMIII heavily this year with as much as you can give him and guarantee a nice chunk to show him you care, he will get about a 10-12 mil raise.
Raji has to get done this year he'll get about a 3 or 4 mil raise...........front load his deal as much as you can with some guarantee's
Front load AR next year as well to give yourself cap room later (We'll need it). They have to guarantee AR even more than CMIII of coarse.
AR will command at least a 6 year 125 mil deal IMO, he will get about a 12 mil raise.Hide replies
They may work out a deal with AR that kicks in more money after the TV revenues increase the cap........................the possibilities are endless.
i think rodgers gets a deal before the season starts. possibly even before matthews.
Maybe, I'm sure they do have a plan
Hey, are you guys seeing my posts? Im not sure what is going on here but I can only assume that nobody is seeing these, Ive been asking people to hit the Reply below to let me know if you can see this or not, and the past stories have no responses...help me out...
It's all about money isn't it. Screw winning, screw teamwork, screw the fans. Just give me the money.Hide replies
these guys are getting the money because they do win.
Yes, it is all about the money.
I'm sure these guys love to play the game but when you have money of this magnitude involved it's hard for the average fan to comprehend.........myself included.
There's a number of ways to do this. One to mitigate against the need to sign other players is to have a large signing bonus with a ramped up base salary. For example:
Six-year deal with a $60 million signing bonus:
Base Salaries:
2013: $2 million
2014: $5 million
2015: $8 million
2016: $12 million
2017: $15 million
2018: $18 million
That's 6 years, $120 million. If Rodgers wants to be more than Flacco, then add $1 million to each base salary. That's 6 years, $126 million.
The signing bonus gets prorated over the 6 years for cap purposes. Thus, just add $10 million to each year to figure out the cap. And the cap hits for 2013 and 2014 - $12 million and $15 million - aren't that far off from where they are now in his contract.
Oh, and he makes $62 million this year.Hide replies
62 or 6.2?
62 mil is a different story then it would be prudent to restructure this year
You've got your wires crossed my friend, I do believe his entire contract was a little over 63 mil.
Or are you saying he gets a 60 mil signing bonus on top of his 2 mil?
Makes plenty of sense P Man but still I would perfer the negotiations to start this year and a deal to be reached next year. No rush in making a deal this year. I gurantee there is no chance Rodgers will be a FA so i am not very concerned with getting him signed at all.
The reply is going to be interesting P Man if I ever get one.
I was told there would be no math.
Mean- I think he meant 60 mil signing bonus on top of his 2 mill. I am sure Russ will figure it out. We bloggers don't know much of the "DEEP" things that go on in the inside.
Do they have 60 mil this year for a signing bonus? After signing Clay and BJ?
I'm going with, " it's mathematically impossible" again.
They could always give AR all the TV revenue for a few years.
Wow, it's mind boggling.
Could not agree more I am not a mathematician or figures guy I could not build a contract what so ever based on the little information the Writers give. I would like to think the folks who have all the papers and facts do all the contract work.
My whole life's work has been math oriented, but have no idea what they got going on "inside the building".
It's a shot in the dark on my part.
Addition and subtraction and looking into the future when you don't have the whole picture in front of you makes it impossible.
Adding and subtract in and of itself is rather easy IMO.
Agreed Mean-- You may be able to come up with something good if you got all the "inside Info" such as all expenses and the whole shabang. News casters, writers, beat writers can only supply so much info regarding the Packers situation.
i agree he'll get a shade more than $60M guaranteed but i suspect it will be split into 2 years worth of payments; a good chunk of the bonus being paid this year as a signing bonus, along with guaranteeing his 2013 salary, and the rest of the bonus coming next year in the form of a roster bonus.
My example here is just one of many that could be used. I was only trying to show that his deal could be restructured now without it affecting this year's salary cap, or next year's. In this plan, the cap hit for Rodgers would only be $12 million, which is about what it is now (~ $10 million).
This way, Rodgers has a long term deal and security in case he was injured, and the Packers still have room to maneuver for this year, having to deal with Matthews, Raji, Shields, etc.
Oh, and the Packers have something like $240 million in cash, so they can afford a $60 million signing bonus. That's not the problem.
The problem is would you want to pay Rodgers a $60 million signing bonus and his $2 million base salary this year - a total of $62 million - only to have him quit football after this year, since he's got his cash?
Not saying that Rodgers would do that, but it is over-paying for one year of football in order to secure 5 additional years. Some would call that risky. He could have a career-ending injury and the Packers would have paid one guy $62 million for one year of football.
agreed. i like in your scenerio that the cap hit remains relatively flat for this this season, allowing them to do the other deals.
that's also kind of why i suspect they'll split that bonus into 2 tiers of payments.
it's interesting. i'm curious to see how they lay it out when all is said and done.
If it were me, I'd do an 8-year contract. $32 million signing bonus (which would be a cap hit of $4 million per year), and then something like another $4 million per year roster bonus - essentially guaranteeing that money.
So, $32 signing bonus:
2013: $4 million roster bonus, $4 million base pay ($12M cap hit)
2014: $4 million roster bonus, $4 million base pay ($12M cap hit)
2015: $4 million roster bonus, $14 million base pay ($22M cap hit)
2016: $4 million roster bonus, $15 million base pay ($23M cap hit)
2017: $4 million roster bonus, $16 million base pay ($24M cap hit)
2018: $4 million roster bonus, $17 million base pay ($25M cap hit)
2019: $4 million roster bonus, $18 million base pay ($26M cap hit)
2020: $4 million roster bonus, $18 million base pay ($26M cap hit)
That's 8 years, $170 million. Lifetime contract. And if his play diminishes greatly towards the end of the contract, then cut him.
signing bonuses can only be drawn out for 5 years.
i see around $30-35M in pay this year between signing bonus and salary and another dose of a roster bonus next year.
the going rate appears to be around $60M in compensation over the 1st 3 years.
which would probably put rodgers at about $62-65M.
PMan, we are thinking alike. I mentioned something like this in one of the other stories. In your example, it would be approximately $146m in new money over 6 years which would put him well above the Flacco deal. I am hoping it is closer to $130m over the same span, but we will see.
The problem is that Rodgers should not be worth what Flacco is being paid but yet Flacco is being paid that much.
You can't just keep paying QBs more and more.Hide replies
Agreed all together Flacco does not deserve that huge pay day one good year does not mean he will rise to Brady's level or be the best ever. His entire career was on this year and the super bowl previous years all he showed was potential but medirocracy.
The Pack is in a bad place with a woeful coach at every position. Next season will be much worse than this season and they will have to retool the brain trust. There are no bright spots and Arodg is way down the list in the things that need addressing before Sept.Hide replies
Pls comment again.
Boots is back
I say we cut the loud-mouth unproductive's, like Finley, and try to resign him or restructure, at a lower salary this yr.Hide replies
Cutting him means he is gone but we can try to resturcture but the likes of things he won't agree. Finley will suit up still this year but if no real improvement or anything I see Finley is good as gone.
Why is he gone???
Finley's contract is up next season rather they reconstruct or not will be based on his performance most of all and rather he agree's. Finley stated that he will not take a pay cut so i really don't think the Packers can do much if Finley does not perform to Packer standards but let him go unless they franchise him.
IM afraid Finley has a career year,GB signs him Longterm and he goes back to the Finley that we know and love ( some of us).
Trade him off for compensation ( unless he has his career year and leaves,then we get compensation anyway)
but then again,if hes going to be a FA will he
Work his tail off for max pay
be afraid of being injured and losing his pay day and play cautious.
So now what the Packers should pay Rodgers some crazy salray because the guys running the Ravens have no clue? Joe Flacco isnt even a top7 QB IMO and thats being nice hes probably 12-15th best in the league.
Flacco stats from last season
QB rat 12/32
comp% 19/32
yards 14/32
TD tied for 15/32
rush yards 30/32
So his TEAM wins a Super Bowl and his mid of the pack league stats make him the highest paid QB???Hide replies
I agree Flacco is def not as consistent as Rodgers. I see a high payed salary go out to Rodgers but I don't think the Packers will throw 200 Mill at him. I think the Packers will throw a good amount and Rodgers being the guy he is takes the deal and continues to play at a high level. I don't know much about math and figures which is why Russ Ball is dealing with this issue and not me.
so i guess it's just about passing stats?
i guess the fact he's led his team to the playoffs 5 years in a row, won 9 playoff games against 4 losses, with 6 of those wins coming on the road, winning the super bowl MVP and being only 28 years old has nothing to do with it.
there are not more than 7 QBs i'd rather have than joe flacco
i don't care what the STATS say. he got paid because he has the jewelry, which is not something most of those 11-14 QBs you perceive to be better than him have.
flacco just became the highest paid player in the game with a 6-year/$120.6M deal.
why in the world would rodgers get $200M?
rodgers will get a notch above market. right now, that market is $20.1M per year for 6 years. he's not getting much more than that but he is getting more.
I love it how people assume that everything is equal in negotiations or that it always favors the team. The bottom line, Flacco had them over a barrel, he knew it, and the Ravens knew it. They were offering him substantially less during the season and he didn't take it. If everything is equal, he probably gets paid like a top 5-8 QB, but with the advantage in his favor he gets paid like the top QB. How do you not pay the guy that played at an "elite" level for 3 playoff games, won the Super Bowl MVP, and was critical to their success winning the SB. Not everything is measured in passing stats.

The company didn't say how much the proposed LNG terminal would cost, but said a typical terminal which can handle 5 million tpy of LNG usually takes around $1 billion to build. ONGC believes getting into the LNG terminal business is a right fit since the company is involved in natural gas production.
NEW DELHI -- Oil & Natural Gas Corp. is considering the
possibility of setting up a terminal to handle liquefied
natural gas in the south Indian city of Mangalore in a joint
venture with Bharat Petroleum and Mitsui & Co., the
state-run explorer's chairman said Wednesday.
India is increasing its import of
liquefied natural gas to meet a domestic supply shortfall. Many
companies are setting up LNG terminals, which are specialized
ports used to handle such imports.
"We have asked for a feasibility study to be conducted on
the proposed LNG project. We will be able to comment
more only when the report comes in," Sudhir Vasudeva said.
ONGC, India's largest producer of crude
oil, and Mitsui had last year signed an initial agreement to
cooperate in the gas business.
Mr. Vasudeva didn't say how much the proposed LNG terminal
would cost, but said a typical terminal which can handle 5
million metric tpy of LNG usually takes around $1 billion to

Sleep deprivation is more than just a nuisance that makes you groggy throughout the day. It's a health hazard. One sleeping disorder, sleep apnea, can sometimes be fatal.
Ken McKenney is a Registered Polysomnographic Technician. He says: "It's where you stop breathing a lot at night. It can be anywhere from 10 seconds up to about 90 seconds."
New findings show that not getting enough sleep can cause weight gain. Ken McKenney with the Medical Center agrees.
"A lot of times when we do have a lack of sleep our bodies want to get more energy. So the next best thing is to eat, to consume calories. So that helps us throughout the day. The only problem is, is that starts a vicious cycle."
Sleep loss is also being attributed to lessened libido and studies show it can cause marital problems. And driving while sleep deprived is actually illegal in some states.
"That would be Maggie's Law. That is really beginning to be a big issue, I think. Because people already know that it's bad to drive drunk, but if you drive while you're asleep it can be just as dangerous."
According to the "Sleep in America" survey, 75 percent of Americans say they experience some type of sleep problem a few night's a week or more.

A couple of important guidelines should be observed when storing items in our Space Bags. Fiber-filled items such as pillows and comforters should be removed from the bag about twice a year and fluffed to preserve their loft. We do not recommend our Space Bags for storage of down-filled items. The vacuum created in the Space Bag can break the feathers ruining the resiliency and loft of the item.

The vibrancy of natural sites, both wilderness and managed, is as thrilling and uplifting as the ravages caused by man and nature are heart-breaking. To me, witnessing juvenile grouper in a healthy mangrove system is as pleasing as gliding through bottomless blue water in the company of giants of the deep. Conversely, the ravages on a reef...

text: So, a big part of requests have been directed to a popular TV show as well as movie. In this very tutorial, you'll be learning "how to draw Doctor Who step by step", by a talented artist from YouTube. The show is supposedly about a humanoid alien known as the Doctor, who travels through time and space with his TARDIS. Whenever I hear that, I think of the time machines you see in the old age science fiction movies. Better yet, I didn't even know that this popular character is a humanoid alien! Anyhow, the artist shows you in depth on how to shade Doctor Who's face, righteously. I believe the artist uses different types of sketch pencils to make darker highlights. I watched video and he mentioned something about "leaving streaks in the hair" to make it look more realistically believable that it's hair. Once you've listened to the cool tips and tricks that this artist guides you through, you'll be able to draw Doctor Who in no time! Soon enough, I'll be making more tutorials on cool celebrities from your favorite shows. It's time for me to go now. This lesson was pretty entertaining! Have fun learning "how to draw Doctor Who. Thanks for viewing and good luck on your growing artistic endeavors!

This chain is very nice with sizing options and the coating lasted for a while before any lubricant was required.
Easy to fit with supplied Powerlink. Runs quiet and smooth with new SRAM cassette.
I found it to be easier to install than Dura-Ace. Wight seems to be the same. I have not felt any difference in performance.
Sram makes the best chains and the 1091R is there best.. I love the power link. Just make sure you get the arrow pointing in the right direction when installing.
The SRAM PC 1091R PowerChain - 10 Speed arrived in perfect condition and the delivery was on time!

Best chain to buy for SRAM components (I use this chain on two bikes that have Red and Force components). Quiet, strong, smooth, and easy to clean year-round.

What are the benefits of taking shorter rest times in between sets? If I am capable of doing an extra rep or two if I rest for 1 minutes instead of resting for 30 seconds, which is more beneficial?

Here is an excellent excerpt regarding rest from the Encyclopedia of Modern Bodybuilding written by the famous Arnold Schwarzenegger:
The sweet spot for promoting size, endurance, and strength is 1 minute. Taking only a few seconds of rest would only promote endurance.
Longer Rest Periods for Strength
In another part of the book, Arnold talks about the occasional days which you should train heavy. By heavy, we mean going to failure in 6 reps or less. Arnold believed that bodybuilders should occasionally train heavy like power-lifters to get a hard dense look. In these days, he suggests longer rest periods, perhaps up to 3 minutes. This longer rest period would prevent cardiovascular failure from short-circuiting muscular failure.
Powerlifters, or people training for strength (as opposed to bodybuilders, who train for muscle size), may have occasional need for longer rest periods between heavy sets. Five or ten minutes between sets is not unreasonable for very heavy sets of squats, or chin-ups to failure, for instance.
Research and weight room experience shows that longer rest periods produce more strength and power, whereas shorter rest periods produce more hypertrophy and muscle mass:

I'm planning to buy a 1999 Honda Civic with Multimatic Gearbox and the current owner claims that he needs oil changes after every 7,500 Kms. But when I read about it most suggest the oil change only requires after 15,000 Kms. Anyone can clarify this to me?

He probably meant CVT oil/transmission oil. Honda CVT oil needs replacing more often once car has driven a lot of K's. Considering its 1999, i assume it will have more than 150K KMs', so in that case he may be right in mentioning replacement every 7500KM. CVT's need to be taken care of unlike auto transmission cars.
Maybe he meant the engine oil every 7500kms? Transmission oil on the other hand, lasts a lot longer than engine oil. Heavy city usage, 15k max. Primarily highway, 30k max.

John Fayhee never is at a loss for words. But even for him, two books at once is pushing it.
�It�s awkward and weird to have two books coming out at exactly the same time,� said Fayhee, who is best known in Western literary circles as editor of Mountain Gazette. �I�m not the world�s best at putting the past behind me, but at this point, here I am.�
The timing of the simultaneous releases of Smoke Signals: Wayward Journeys through the Old Heart of the New West and The Colorado Mountain Companion, his 10th and 11th books, is not exactly the product of an overactive writer, though Fayhee undoubtedly is guilty of the charge. In this case, it was logistics and business snafus that delayed the release of the Companion, which is nearly 2 years old.
Both books reflect Fayhee�s love for and unparalleled knowledge of the Mountain West. He�s got the kind of personality that turns book tours into bona fide nights on the town, and Monday night at Maria�s Bookshop is the next stop. He�ll likely read more from Smoke Signals, which is a compilation of Fayhee�s previously published columns from the Gazette. But the book versions are more like essays, longer and more comprehensive than those shortened to fit into the allotted space in the magazine.
As for the Companion, it�s an almanac-style tome that was a longtime coming for anyone who�s spent any quality time in a Colorado mountain town.
�Even though it�s not a typical Fayhee book in the way it�s packaged, I still was able to be myself,� Fayhee said.
Fayhee described his inspiration for the book as an end-all way to end all those interminable barroom arguments that inevitably pop up in places such as the Bull Moose, the El Rancho and, once upon a time, the Hollywood (R.I.P.).
�I�m not what you�d call a primary researcher, and this would�ve been a life�s project before the Internet,� Fayhee said.
It�s a fun book, and Fayhee uses pseudo-scientific, but likely accurate, methodology to determine once and for all the highest and lowest towns in Colorado, how many Fourteeners there really are, and even what we�re supposed to call each other (Cortezians, Durangoans, Silvertonians and Pagosans, though Bayfield and Mancos are absent from the list.)
There are a slew of historical facts about skiing, biking, Olympics, movies and weather as well as explanations of how towns and mountains got their names. He even gives the names of the eight mountains alluded to in Martin Luther King Jr.�s �I Have a Dream� speech � from the �mole hill of Mississippi (806-foot Woodall Mountain) to �the curvaceous slopes of California� (14,495-foot Mount Whitney).
Fayhee has earned the right to pen such an authoritative volume. He spent a quarter of a century in the Colorado Rockies, and probably has walked as many of its trails, climbed as many of its mountains and visited as many of its watering holes as anyone who�s ever lived in the Centennial State. And if his words, written or otherwise, ruffle a few feathers, he�s OK with that, too.
�I�ve had several of my writer brethren tell me I should be more brevitous in my writing,� he said. �It�s like learning to snowboard, something I just don�t have a desire to do. That�s one reason I don�t ride my mountain bike more � because I don�t want people to think I�m a mountain biker. I�ve set myself up in life where I have the opportunity to call the shots more than most.�

What exactly at the molecular level is itching? What physiological function does itching serve, if any? I cant remember the reference but a PLCb3 null mice lost the itch phenotype, so presumably it is mediated by the Gq-PLCbeta pathway through a cell surface GPCR. Since a physical action of scratching relieves it, could it be a case of a mechanosensitive channel at work?
Like all tough questions, this one has no well understood answer. Itching "is one of the most poorly understood sensations."
The obvious facts: The urge to scratch part of your skin is the result of stimulus of the skin which causes some of the nerves to register an irritation (you can get an itch in internal organs too - which sounds excruciating).
Biochemically, following the effects of poison Ivy oils, the cathechols break down to orthoquinones and may stimulate local mast cells to release histimine. So in this case you can see that itching, like many irritations are linked to the immune system which is highly variable from one individual to another, as such it is still a bit of a black box.
Still, not all itching is stimulated by histamine release; that isn't the whole story. Antihistamine allergy pills don't help itching. Other nerve channel proteins can be activated to stimulate itching. One example found in an itchy mutant strain of mice is TRPA1, and maybe the G protein coupled receptor, Gastrin Releasing Protein Receptor (GRPR). Its hard to imagine that there will not be more mechanisms discovered later.
Mediated both by immune systems and nerve cells, which literally have a mind of their own and whose signal processing is highly individualized and sensitive to local conditions in the body make itching a fairly mysterious phenomenon. Its also likely that itching can be entirely initiated as a mental condition (Pruritus), so it is not entirely a biochemical phenomenon, which only serves to illustrate the point I guess.

Error message useless
I have found the following error while editing:
It is correct ? I would like to know if I need a semicolon or if I am missing it. The code works and as far as I know there is no need to put a semicolon after a function.
Also I have found a serious bug that displays "unexpected ," in the code but when you try to remove the , from the code IS IMPOSSIBLE because the line is missing (the error appears in the view but not in the event that contains the invalid or unexpect ,).
I think the editor has lot of bugs, and I have seen the editor working in a Mac deleting or not updating code which is a problem. Crash is acceptable, but if the editor is the cause to lost code... something has to be fixed in Sencha Architect.
Kind regards
2 Nov 2012 10:50 AM #2
We have seen the problem where old/stale error messages still appear. We have a ticket to get this fixed. Thanks for the report.
Could you tell us more details about the "unexpected, " error?Aaron Conran
5 Nov 2012 2:06 AM #3
the editor does not allow to edit the line
What happens is that we have an incorrect , (probably because an override was needed) just after a function we made in an event and before the function of another event.
But when you go to the code that contains the incorrect , you cannot delete it, because the line that contains the , is not there.
See screenshot.
The line 192 does not appear when you edit the code to remove it from the event.
The code only displays line 0 to 191.
Kind regards

Sporting KC's 1-0 Victory Ends Houston's 36-Game Home Unbeaten Streak
Posted: 11:04 PM May 12, 2013
Reporter: Sporting, posted by Kinch O'Kelley
(May 12, 2013) - Sporting Kansas City defeated the Houston Dynamo 1-0 on Sunday, snapping the Dynamo's 36-game unbeaten streak at home in all competition dating back to 2011. Aurelien Collin claimed the game-winner in the 73rd minute when he headed in a long throw-in from Seth Sinovic to hand the Dynamo their first loss at BBVA Compass Stadium.
Sporting Kansas City's first chance of the match arrived in the 10th minute of play, also instigated by a long throw-in from Sinovic. The throw-in was volleyed out by Houston Dynamo midfielder Andrew Driver, but it fell to Oriol Rosell, who sent in a chance that was saved by goalkeeper Tally Hall.
Seven minutes later, Claudio Bieler's effort from 25 yards out was saved by Hall once again. Less than a minute later, Sinovic made an overlapping run at goal and sent in a low, in-swinging cross that was defended well and sent out for a corner kick by Corey Ashe.
The Dynamo had a chance of their own in the 25th minute when Brad Davis sent in a free kick that evaded the wall and bent right of goalkeeper Jimmy Nielsen, but the 2012 MLS Goalkeeper of the Year made a diving save.
Seven minutes into the second half, Graham Zusi evaded Houston's backline, played a quick one-two with Peterson Joseph and shot from 20 yards out, but his effort was just wide of the goal. Two minutes later, Sinovic attempted a right-footed shot from distance that was saved by Hall.
Sporting Kansas City nabbed the game-winning goal in the 73rd minute when Collin flicked a long throw-in from Sinovic past Hall. The goal was Collin's second of the season and ninth in MLS competition (including playoffs).
Bieler nearly doubled the visitors lead a minute later off of an angled shot that skimped just wide of the far post.
The Dynamo nearly equalized in the 80th minute when Jason Johnson, in his MLS debut, delivered a goal-bound header that was headed out by Paulo Nagamura.
In the second minute of stoppage time, Brian Ching headed down a ball to Davis, drawing Nielsen off his line, but his attempt was blocked by the Danish keeper for his fourth save of the match. Nielsen re corded his League-leading seventh shutout of the season on Sunday.
Sporting Kansas City, now tied for second place in the Eastern Conference, will face D.C. United at 4 p.m. CT on Sunday at RFK stadium. The match will be broadcast live on KSMO-TV and La Gran D 1340 AM.
With the win, Sporting Kansas City moves into a tie for second place in the Eastern Conference with the Houston Dynamo and the Montreal Impact.
Sporting KC is now 6-4-2 in 2013 and 3-2-1 on the road. The team's three away wins are tied for the most in MLS this season and the team's .583 winninge percentage on the road is second best in MLS in 2013.
Sporting Kansas City is 218-210-111 all-time and 74-133-63 all-time away from home.
Sporting Kansas City's record against the Houston Dynamo moves to 4-6-6 all-time and 2-3-3 on the road in the series.
Sporting Kansas City beat the Houston Dynamo in Houston for the first time since April 8, 2006. Since then, Sporting KC was 0-5-3 at Houston in MLS competition (including playoffs) entering Sunday's match.
The win hands the Houston Dynamo the club's first loss at BBVA Compass Stadium since it's opening a year ago today.
The win also snapped a 36-game undefeated streak at home for the Dynamo in all competition, with 26 victories and 10 draws over that span.
Houston's 30-game home unbeaten streak in MLS regular season competition is the longest in MLS history.
Sporting KC started the same starting lineup from their 4-0 victory over Chivas USA, making four changes to the lineup they started in their midweek loss against the Seattle Sounders. Claudio Bieler replaced C.J. Sapong, Paulo Nagamura replaced Benny Feilhaber, Seth Sinovic was in for Josh Gardner and Mechack Jerome was on for Chance Myers.
The Houston Dynamo made one change to their starting lineup from their midweek victory over D.C. United, replacing Giles Barnes with Ricardo Clark.
Ricardo Clark's six fouls suffered on Sunday was a season high for a Houston player and most by a Houston player all-time in the series.
Aurelien Collin notched the game-winning goal for Sporting Kansas City, heading in a long throw-in from Seth Sinovic.
The goal was Sporting KC's fourth scored by a header this season. All 14 of the team's goals in 2013 have come from shots inside the penalty area.
The goal is Collin's second of the season and ninth of his career. Of Collin's nine career MLS goals, six have been game-winners.
Sporting KC is 8-0-1 when Collin scores.
Seth Sinovic earned his first point of the year with the assist. The assist was the third of his career and first since May 19, 2012.
The Sporting KC goal came on the team's only shot on goal of the second half.
Sporting Kansas City is 5-0-0 when leading in the 75th minute.
Sporting Kansas City is 4-0-2 when allowing 0 goals and 3-1-0 when scoring one goal.
Sporting KC is 5-2-1 when wearing Sporting Blue and 5-1-2 versus the Eastern Conference in 2013.
In 35 minutes of action, Kei Kamara led all players in the match with eight aerial duels won. Kamara and Collin won a combined 15 of 15 aerial duels on Sunday.
Kamara made his 100th regular season appearance in a KC uniform on Sunday. Kamara played for the Dynamo in 2008 and 2009.
Jimmy Nielsen earned the 39th shutout of his career, most in club history, and seventh in 2013, most among all MLS goalkeepers this year.
Nielsen's six victories this year are tied for most in MLS.
Nielsen's 0.99 career goals against average is the best in MLS history among goalkeepers with a minimum of 4,000 minutes played.
Sporting Kansas City's 0.75 goals against average is the best in MLS in 2013.
Tally Hall's shutout streak ended on Sunday at 298 minutes, the third longest streak by a goalkeeper in MLS this season.
Sunday's temperature was 82 degrees at kickoff, the hottest temperature for a Sporting KC game in 2013.
Aurelien Collin and Oriol Rosell will miss the next Sunday's match against D.C. United at RFK Stadium due to yellow card accumulation.
Jimmy Nielsen has appeared in 73 straight MLS matches, including postseason, for Sporting Kansas City, dating back to June 12, 2011. The streak covers a span of 6,570 straight minutes of MLS action.
Oriol Rosell committed four fouls on Sunday, a single-game career high for the midfielder.
Sporting Kansas City has handed MLS opponents their first loss at a new stadium at six different stadiums: BBVA Compass Stadium, BMO Field, Qwest Field, Rio Tinto Stadium, Robertson Stadium and Spartan Stadium.
Ike Opara logged 13 clearances on Sunday, leading all players in the category.
Mechack Jerome led all players on Sunay with 12 duels won.
Peterson Joseph was credited with three key passes on Sunday, most among all players on the field.

Sporting Kansas City leads MLS in fouls suffered this season, but suffered a season-low 10 fouls on Sunday.
The team's 15 fouls in the second half were the most by an MLS team in a half this season.
Sporting Kansas City outshot the Houston Dynamo 11-10. Sporting KC is 5-3-2 when outshooting an opponent this season.
Sporting KC leads MLS all-time in shots with 7,360 and ranks second in MLS this season with 168 shots.

Crouzon Syndrome
It is possible that the main title of the report Crouzon Syndrome is not the name you expected. Please check the synonyms listing to find the alternate name(s) and disorder subdivision(s) covered by this report.

- Crouzon Craniofacial Dysostosis
- Craniostenosis, Crouzon Type
Disorder Subdivisions
- Oxycephaly-Acrocephaly
- Virchow's Oxycephaly
General Discussion
Crouzon syndrome is a rare genetic disorder that may be evident at birth (congenital) or during infancy. The disorder is characterized by distinctive malformations of the skull and facial (craniofacial) region. Such abnormalities may vary greatly in range and severity from case to case, including among affected family members. However, in most infants with Crouzon syndrome, the fibrous joints between certain bones of the skull (cranial sutures) close prematurely (craniosynostosis). In addition, facial abnormalities typically include unusual bulging or protrusion of the eyeballs (proptosis) due to shallow eye cavities (orbits); outward deviation of one of the eyes (divergent strabismus or exotropia); widely spaced eyes (ocular hypertelorism); and a small, underdeveloped upper jaw (hypoplastic maxilla), with protrusion of the lower jaw (relative mandibular prognathism).
In some instances, Crouzon syndrome is inherited as an autosomal dominant trait. In other cases, affected individuals have no family history of the disease. In such instances, Crouzon syndrome is thought to result from new genetic changes (mutations) that occur randomly for unknown reasons (sporadically).
