Alnylam Pharmaceuticals will extend its RNAi therapeutics research collaboration with AlCana Technologies and The University of British Columbia (UBC) for a third year. The partnership, launched in August 2009, focuses on the discovery of novel cationic lipids employed in lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) for the systemic delivery of RNAi therapeutics.
"The research conducted by AlCana and UBC has led to the discovery of our second generation LNPs that demonstrate remarkable improvements in potency, a wider therapeutic index, and potential for delivery beyond the liver," says Kenneth Koblan, Ph.D., Alnylam's CSO.
Alnylam, funds the research collaboration, with work conducted by scientists at UBC and AlCana. Alnylam retains exclusive rights to all new inventions in the RNAi field as well as rights to sublicense any resulting intellectual property to Alnylam's current and future partners.
As part of the original 2009 agreement, Tekmira Pharmaceuticals receives rights to use any new AlCana/UBC inventions for their own RNAi therapeutic programs licensed under Alnylam intellectual property through its InterfeRx™ program.
Anylam is a biopharmaceutical company focused on developing RNAi-based therapeutics for the treatment of genetically defined diseases including ALN-TTR for the treatment of transthyretin-mediated amyloidosis (ATTR), ALN-PCS for the treatment of severe hypercholesterolemia, and ALN-HPN for the treatment of refractory anemia.

Warriors open season on Saturday
As Jared Wells watched his team practice recently he was all smiles knowing a new season of baseball at DelâNorte High School is about to get under way.
Jared Wells at a recent practice: âI love this sport and I enjoy teaching this game.â Del Norte Triplicate/Bryant Anderson
"We're looking good," he said. "We got a lot of players coming back this year, soâI think we got a solid team in place."
This is the first year as head coach for Wells, who graduated fromâDel Norte in 1997.
He replaces longtime coach Pablo Lorenzi.
Wells, a teacher at Uncharted Shores Academy, previously coached baseball at the middle school level when he lived in Hawaii. He also taught inâHawaii in both high school and middle school.
For Wells, it's great to be back to the place he graduated from high school.
"Iâfeel that it's a great opportunity," he said. "It's great to return and put down some roots here."
The season begins a little bit earlier than normal this season with the Warriors facing Sonoma Valley inâEureka onâSaturday. The second game will be almost three weeks later.
While performing well on the baseball field is important, Wells said his emphasis is on helping his players develop into good citizens. And that means maintaining their grades — after all, he said, he's a teacher.
"We want to teach them baseball as well as having good team character," he said. "I love this sport and I enjoy teaching this game."
While practices have been occurring for only a few weeks, Wells likes the combination of newcomers and veterans the team has this year and believes the Warriors will be competitive.
Last year, the Warriors missed the playoffs for the first time in a few seasons, going 4-8 in the Big 5âConferrence and 8-11 overall.
Baseball Schedule

Off to the Races
Yes, Nascar season starts this weekend. But if watching cars go in circles isn't your idea of fun, grab your phone and jump into the driver's seat
Need for Speed Shift
The latest mobile iteration of the never-ending "Need for Speed" franchise, "Shift," preserves the series's MO by neatly straddling the line between sober realism and wham-bam arcade action. A deep career mode features 28 events, along with an experience system that shapes your driving abilities as you advance. But the points system also eggs on your fast-and-furious driving style, rewarding you for tire-screeching drifts and ramming your opponents. Overall, it's a great package, especially if you crave grown-up driving while still indulging in more devilish Paul Walker proclivities.
$5, available on iPhone, Android
Krazy Kart Racers
"Krazy Kart Racers" is, honestly, one big Mario Kart rip-off—but that's not a bad thing. Konami has applied its own stable of classic videogame characters to the tried-and-true go-karts/power-ups/adorable drivers formula, resulting in a cute, fun arcade racer better than anything this side of Nintendo. The tracks are tight and the action frantic—it can get a bit frustrating to repeatedly bounce off ramps and into ditches. Take it into the superb online multiplayer, though, and you forget all of that. The lightning pace and all your friends eating homing missiles will bring back memories of late-night grudge matches at birthday sleepovers.
$1, available on iPhone, Android
Real Racing 2
"Real Racing 2" is a doozy of a game, the kind that starts off fast and just keeps getting better. The first thing you'll notice is that, for a mobile game, the graphics are mind-blowingly "I can't believe I used to lug around a Game Boy" gorgeous. And there's more than just pretty pictures too, as realism is (literally) the name of the game here—buttery-smooth controls combine with a mountain of geek-tastic vehicles. For novices, steering and braking assists are on offer to get you acclimated. For the more advanced, there's the glorious, 16-player multiplayer mode. This one's a must-have for anyone who likes racing games—or games, period.

- Stranded Bengal tourists to J&K panic
Jammu & Kashmir has been witnessing severe violence since the gunning down of Hizbul Mujahideen's local commander and posterboy Burhan Mazaffar Wani on Friday. Curfew has been imposed, stranding hundreds of tourists and also pilgrims to Amarnath. CT spoke to a few tourists from Bengal trapped in the Himalayan state and found all of them to be traumatised. Sambeet Chakraborty, a resident of Dum Dum, is staying at Grand Hotel in Srinagar, where, according to him, the situation is not as bad as other areas. "So many tourists to Amarnath or Jammu are stranded in different hotels all over the state! Only a few buses are plying to Amarnath or Jammu at night, so it's really difficult to get a seat. Most shops are shut, but people here are nice, so they're not charging extra at hotels despite the huge rush. Everyone is tense because the death toll in the past two days of violence has risen to around 23," he told us. On the other hand, Ajoy Kumar Roy and his wife Madhuri from Baghajatin are really crestfallen at not being able to complete the last leg to Amarnath. "It's hard to believe that we came all the way to Jammu and still can't visit Amarnath Temple. We've heard that around 15,000 pilgrims are stranded in Jammu, as the Amarnath yatra is being kept on hold after violence erupted in the Kashmir Valley on Friday. Since then, the highway connecting to the Valley has been closed and train and bus services have been stopped. Now we really don't know what will happen. We are now praying for a safe return home," Ajoy told us from Jammu. Some, however, are still hopeful of completing the pilgrimage. Soumitra Kumar Deb and his wife Dipa from Agarpara said they are waiting for the situation to turn better. "We still don't know whether we will be able to visit Amarnath, but are waiting in Jammu as the buses are not plying regularly. Our tour guide is extremely responsible and has promised that we will proceed to the temple only after it's ensured that we'll be safe. The situation now is really bad. At a temple here in Jammu, we met a couple who had travelled from Srinagar. They were still in shock," Soumitra said. The story is the same for Bikashmoy Ghosh and his wife Shyamoli from Bally in Howrah. "We are part of group of 20 travelling with Kundu Tirtha Bhraman to Amarnath. We are staying in Ashoka New Diamond Hotel in Jammu, as the buses to Amarnath are not plying. We are visiting nearby places, but the Kashmir incidents are making us nervous. The scenario in Jammu, however, is not so bad," Bikashmoy told us.

Evening all,
I need a way to display a list of subcategories of a category. Like this:
"Please click a country for a list of our current projects:
• Africa
• Sri Lanka"
With Projects (parent) and Africa and Sri Lanka being subcategories (children).
When the user clicks on Projects, I'd like a list of the subcategories to appear, instead of the default list of posts in all of the categories.
I've managed to make the page display the categories of the posts (5 Africa's and 2 Sri Lanka's due to the amount of posts), but I can't seem to find anything that'll let me display the children of a parent as a list.
I'm guessing I can do this by using get_the_category_list() or the_category() and utilising some arcane argument/parameter, but I'm at a loss.
Thank you.

Mazda5 MPV
- Big, versatile cabin
- Lots of luggage space
- Comfortable ride
- Divisive styling
- Small middle seat
- Getting long in the tooth
"Wild looks aside, the seven-seat Mazda5 is good to drive, versatile and competitively priced."
Mazda has launched some great cars of late, such as the Mazda6 saloon and Mazda CX-5 SUV – but its Mazda5 MPV is starting to look a bit outdated in comparison. The styling harks back to a previous generation of Mazdas and was apparently inspired by 'water, wind and nature' – with mixed results.
As you'd expect of an MPV, the Mazda5 gets a hugely practical cabin that has seven seats and a very versatile row of middle seats that can be configured several different ways depending on your needs. The central seat is quite small, however. The Mazda's sliding rear doors also offer a distinct advantage over conventional doors, so getting in and out should be easy no matter how tight the parking space.
Choosing an engine is easy (there are only two) and the 1.6-litre diesel is the one we'd go for. It isn't fast, but it is economical, while the 2.0-litre petrol isn't much quicker and is also a lot less frugal. It's starting to look old in a market now dominated by smaller petrols that are more efficient and just as quick.
Keeping up with the likes of the Ford S-MAX and even its Mazda CX-5 sibling, the Mazda5 is very good to drive and manages to limit the feeling that you're driving a big MPV by having a good ride and loads of grip.
The Mazda5 comes in one trim level: Sport Venture. It's priced to match rivals like the Volkswagen Touran and Toyota Verso and gets climate control, cruise control, sat nav and big alloy wheels as standard. There are very few options on offer other than dealer-fit accessories.
The biggest issue with the Mazda5 is the car's age – it's now really getting on a bit and hard to recommend in the face of much newer rivals. Mazda stopped producing the 5 in February 2015 and it's set to be taken off UK price lists in September. The remaining dealer stock is expected to have all been sold before then, though, so if you really want one, you'll need to be quick – and make sure you secure a significant discount, too.
MPG, running costs & CO2
The Mazda5 uses engines that are nowhere near as economical as those in rivals
Engines, drive & performance
The petrol engine fitted to the Mazda5 is a better performer than the economical diesel
Interior & comfort
The Mazda5 has a comfortable ride and good driving position
Practicality & boot space
The Mazda5 sliding doors are a neat touch, but its boot space is beaten by many of its rivals
Reliability & safety
Mazda has a good reputation for reliability and the Mazda5 has plenty of safety kit

Ashley Duenas had never competed in a doubles match over her four-year varsity career at East Union.

The East Union High varsity volleyball team had a tough task at hand Thursday at Sonora.
Manteca High prevented East Union from snapping out of a near two-decade long drought of Valley Oak League boys soccer championships on the final game of the regular-season last year.
Minutes before leaving campus for the Valley Oak League Championships Wednesday, Manteca High cross country coach Rick Cuevas had his runners follow him into Winter Gymnasium for a quick history lesson.
The playoff-bound Sierra High boys varsity soccer squad closed out Valley Oak League play Wednesday with a 3-2 victory at Weston Ranch High.

Ly Hoang of Weston Ranch High was crowned the top player at Tuesday's Valley Oak League Singles Tournament in Sonora.
After a stunning Valley Oak League win last week over cross-town rival Manteca High, the Sierra High varsity volleyball squad couldn't quite keep up the momentum, falling to visiting Weston Ranch on Tuesday.
Expectations are so high for East Union High's girls golf team that its 469 score that was plenty good enough to win the Sac-Joaquin Section Division-IV Tournament at Lockeford Springs Golf Course Monday wasn't good enough for co-head coach Dennis Wells.
East Union did its part.
Sierra High's girls tennis team started out the Valley Oak League season with one win and four losses.

My company hawks a software suite for delivering live and on demand multimedia (video, slides, chat, etc.). We provide the server, client side authoring tool, and client browser players. Many of our our customers are huge corporate behemoths with one thing in common: Complicated Global Intranets. We regularly run into issues with proxies, gateways, TCP accelerators, reverse proxy caching servers, QoS protocals, firewalls and the occasional BOFH.
Our team is small, and so is our office infrastructure. Everyone is on OSX, there are a few testing Windows machines. Our network is composed of an OSX Server, AirPort Extreme, an HP 2510-G24 and a 100mbps cable Internet feed. Nothing even remotely as complex as our customers. If it breaks, we run to the store and buy a new one.
The discrepancy is costing us time, money and face. We can do better. I want to setup a development Intranet to mimic our customers' networks. With such a rig in place we could improve our understanding of the problems our customers experience, and provide them with solid advice.
How can I simulating a generic corporate Intranet. What kind of minimal setup could I implement on the cheap to reproduce our customers' networking environment?
Some background details:
- Our Platform:
- Our content players are Flex-based, the videos are encoded h264
- We stream on demand content over HTTP, bandwidth regulated.
- We stream live content via RTMP, with an undesired fallback to RTMPT (RTMP tunneled over HTTP)
- The platform scales, the only bottleneck is the network
- Technical issues we've bumped into:
- No RTMP (port 1935) access allowed
- Rate limiting of requests by proxies. (RTMPT will make several HTTP POST calls per second)
- Previously undisclosed bandwidth caps
- Virus scanners insisting on a complete download of all files before sending on to client
- Highly restrictive bandwidth quotas between subnetworks in an Intranet (eg: campus-to-campus, city-to-city)
- Ancient infrastructures (You want to stream HD? To BFE? Over a 12-year-old fixed line that nobody can even find the paperwork for? To an NT4 client box with no speakers? O RLY?)
- Intentional bandwidth constriction after n-number of bytes (is that the right word?)
- We'd like to experiment with:
- Multicasting protocols/technologies
- Multicasting between subnetworks in an Intranet
- Proprietary p2p streaming technologies between subnetworks in an Intranet
- Adaptive rate streaming
- QoS protocol configuration
Such a system should allow us to:
- Develop solid fall back mechanisms into our software
- Develop a simple to use diagnostics tool (sales, managers)
- Document proven proxy/firewall configuration snippets
- Provide accurate error messages to end users in our client players
- Maybe even a white paper or two
Initially I started out thinking a single Linux box running squid along with a decent low-end managed switch would be enough. But who am I kidding? I've never designed a network before.
Any ideas? Am I missing something? Specific equipement suggestions are encouraged.
(BTW: budget is limited. The pointy haired boss is tight with cash, but will submit if I can document a clear cost/benefit.)

Screaming Religious Stenographer Feeling Great
Her husband is proud.
The woman who commemorated the end of the government shutdown by yelling on the House floor about Jesus and Freemasons is doing just fine. Following her mental evaluation at a local hospital, Diane Reidy, a Capitol stenographer for more than eight years, told the New York Post, "I've never felt better. I'm glad that I fulfilled God's mission for me, absolutely. It lifted a tremendous burden. It was a very hard burden to carry as you can imagine." Her husband concurred, but admitted she hasn't been getting much sleep since the shutdown.
"Two weeks, waking up in the middle of the night. She's like, I can't sleep, God's got me in the work," Dan Reidy explained. "God was preparing her for this vote last night, because this was kind of the culmination of everything."
He said it was the second time God has spoken through his wife, a Pentecostal Christian, but certainly the first with a massive, confused international audience. God knows how to pick his moments.

Following reports of a major new edition of Doctor Who: The Writer's Tale by Russell T Davies and Benjamin Cook, BBC Books have announced publication of The Writer's Tale: The Final Chapter.
Set to be released on 14th January 2010 as a £16.99 paperback, this new edition sees Russell T Davies and Benjamin Cook expand their in-depth discussion of the creative life of Doctor Who to cover Russell's final year as Head Writer and Executive Producer of the show.
Candid and witty insights abound throughout two years' worth of correspondence, covering David Tennant's last episodes as the Doctor and the legacy that Russell and David leave behind as a new era of Doctor Who begins. This edition will also include new photos from behind the scenes of David Tennant's final episodes, as well as a cover featuring Tennant and John Simm alongside Russell T Davies.
With over 300 pages of new material (the original is over 500 pages), and taking in events from the entire five years since the show's return in 2005, The Writer's Tale: The Final Chapter will be the most comprehensive – and personal – account of Doctor Who ever published.
Albert DePetrillo, Editorial Director at BBC Books:
'Russell and Ben's book is the ultimate behind-the-scenes account of Doctor Who and a brilliant piece of writing, a book about drama that reads like great drama. I think fans will really respond to this new edition – the generous amount of new material brings the story bang up to date and provides closure to the adventure Russell and Ben started two years ago.'
Doctor Who: The Writer's Tale was first published in September 2008 to critical acclaim. Boyd Hilton of heat described the book 'a funny, revealing insight into the workings of the genius who puts the show together.'
The Writer's Tale: The Final Chapter is available for pre-order from Amazon now!
(Thanks to James Whittington)

text: Landorus-T is one of those new form pokemon who have that power but not the speed. Otherwise, this would probably function great on a sandstorm team. Most likely the least used therian form but otherwise it s amazing at what it does. I got some sets here that work pretty well I guess. What pros?! Landorus-T is amazing with its own rights. That max c.430 Atk (lol history) is just amazing! Intimidate buffs its physical defense and makes only probably having to use SpD for covering it up. Swords Dance turns this thing into a beast and Bulk Up can be good too. Tornadus-T and Thundurus-T might give it competition but Tornadus-T is almost useless without rain and Thundurus-T has horrible coverage which means it carries Grass Knot which power varies, bad accuracy Focus Blast, and utterly weak Hidden Power which won't break through walls even super-effective. Therefore, Landorus wins power but with weather being completely dominant this generation, Landorus might have lost some niche. Wish it was alive last generation. Stats: 89 HP / 145 Atk / 90 Def / 105 SpA / 80 SpD / 91 Spd Wow, it has that amazing attack and decent SpA but it wont be using it too much. 91 Speed could be useful because of speed tying base 115 nuetrals with +Sps, but its still slow. Landorus really wanted to keep its base 101 Spd. That would be amazing but if your lietral, ground gorillas wont be swift like falcon so yeah.... there you go. Ability: Intimidate - This will give Landorus-T a lot of physical bulk making a choice band set viable. Okay here are the sets. This is working good and might be pretty viable. Tell me what you think. Choice Band Landorus-T @ Choice Band Trait: Intimidate Nature: Adamant (+Atk, -SpA) EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SpD - Earthquake - Stone Edge - U-Turn - Superpower Bulk Up Landorus-T @ Leftovers Trait: Intimidate Nature: Jolly (+Spd, -SpA) EVs: 128 Atk / 124 SpD / 252 Spd -Bulk Up -Earthquake -Stone Edge -Hammer Arm Choice Scarf Landorus-T (M) @ Choice Scarf Trait: Intimidate EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spd Naive Nature (+Spd, -SDef) - Earthquake - U-turn - Stone Edge - Superpower Gravity Landorus-T @ Life Orb Trait: Intimidate EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SpD Nature: Adamant (+Atk, -SpA) -Stealth Rock -U-Turn -Earthquake -Gravity Bulky Pivot Landorus-T @ Expert Belt Trait: Intimidate EVs: 244 HP / 64 Atk / 200 Def Nature: Adamant (+Atk,-SpA) -Earthquake -Stone Edge -U-turn -Stealth Rock What Else?: Wow, it has a strong physical movepool! Outrage is plain strong but it lacks STAB so Earthquake will have more power. Stealth Rock can be used with leftovers I guess on the Defensive Set, but it'll function better with Life Orb because it needs the immediate power. See FelixMinamimoto's post. Toxic is in there for anyone experimenting with Support Landorus and it also has a weird 105 SpA which is pretty bad becuase because it will only benefit with HP Coverage but still, HP Ice on this thing wont dent Gliscor severely. It'll just use Facade or Ice Fang to make you feel the pain. Gravity set seems like a gimmick but after testing from a poster, it works weel because of U-turn giving momentum, the EVs, earthquake hitting hard likea truck and stealth rock as support. Swords Dance would be deadly, but Landorus-T needs some defense and with intimidate's effect going away after a switch, Bulk Up is great for surviving priority such as Sucker Punch and possibly ice shard from life orb mamoswine if it gain +2, at +3 which is unlikely, it can be almost impossible to stop, even with Terrakion's Band set and Azumarill's rain aqua jet but it will be severely damage assuming without leftovers. Here are the tiers NU BL3 (Only on PS) RU BL2 UU BL OU Ubers Which tier do you think it belongs too? I really go with BL. If its in UU, it'd be overpowered and being able to easily kill through teams with Choice Band, but the speed dominant OU will probably not let it get too far and it needs support or ninjask to help its speed issues. Also it lacks priority. I'm not saying the other forms have priority but they are much faster. What do you think? But I have hopes it stays OU. :)

Michael Mullen was the best attorney I have ever had the pleasure of working with. From day 1 Michael made sure that I knew exactly what was going on, the scenarios that could possibly play out, as well as different directions we could possibly go. Without getting into to much detail of my situation, Michael was able to take and get me the best deal available, one that neither of us thought would actually happen. He came prepared every time we met with the AUSA department, and took the time to not just memorize my situation, but actually learned it. He was able to understand the whats, why's, when's and how's of my case, and know and fight for the best scenario possible for me. Anytime I needed something, or had a question, or had an issue (I live in Upstate New York, case was out of NYC) getting to the city, Michael was always there to make sure it was taken care of. Michael wasn't your run of the mill lawyer who is just there to defend you, he gave you the feeling that truly cared for my situation, and wanted the best for me. He went above and beyond for me. Yes, Michael was my attorney, but after everything, I now consider Michael a friend, and a life savior. I would recommend Mr. Mullen 100x over to anyone who finds themselves in a bind. He will make your issues his, and do whats best for you.

Great guy, he's easy to understand and very informative. Answers all questions and concerns, also provided choices and scenarios that may occur. Thinks, and plan well ahead of time.

The Atlantic's Jeff Goldberg has a knack for stories that generate a big buzz in Washington, and he's done it again with "The Point of No Return," which examines the possibility Israel will unilaterally attack Iran.
I won't try to summarize; there's way too much here. What I will say: Goldberg does more than any writer to get into the heads of Israeli leaders, for whom the Iranian peril is much more complex than just the danger it will drop a few bombs and thereby wipe out the hated Zionist entity.
That includes the danger Iran's nuclear umbrella will embolden and protect other enemies of the Jewish state – and that the constant threat of annihilation will "progressively undermine the country's ability to retain its most creative and productive citizens."
In short, a nuclear Iran would end Israel's status as a "safe haven" for Jews.
Goldberg, in several incredibly long sentences, lays out the likely costs of an Israeli attack, but also depicts a mindset that may leave the country's leaders little choice.
And he gets into Bibi Netanyahu's head in a way that belies the simplistic arguments of both his admirers and detractors.
A key element in the views of Israeli leaders is the belief President Barack Obama, mired in Afghanistan and facing huge domestic challenges, won't use U.S. military force to stop Iran. Nor was former President George W. Bush any more inclined to open up yet another military front; Goldberg writes that "Bush would sometimes mock those aides and commentators who advocated an attack on Iran, even referring to the conservative columnists Charles Krauthammer and William Kristol as 'the bomber boys,' according to two people I spoke."
Goldberg obviously thinks an Israeli strike on Iran is likely – despite the high costs. What he offers is a clear-headed analysis of the fears and calculations of Israeli leaders, the potential costs of such an attack and some of the possible outcomes.
Goldberg obviously thinks such an attack is likely; he's much less clear about whether he thinks it will work.
Must reading about an issue that has the potential to reshuffle the Middle East deck in myriad ways.

Fields of the Nephilim
~ Group
Zoon is an album by Carl McCoy's The Nefilim. Please do not add that album to this band.
Fields of the Nephilim are an English gothic rock band formed in Stevenage, Hertfordshire, England in 1984. The original line-up consisted of vocalist Carl McCoy, saxophonist Gary Wisker, Tony Pettitt on bass, guitarist Paul Wright and drummer Alexander "Nod" Wright. After the release of the debut EP Burning the Fields, Wisker left the band to be replaced by Peter Yates as second guitarist to what is widely known as the 'Classic' line-up. The current incarnation of the band has released one authorized recording of new material and one double live album since 1990, but the group perform frequently, with Carl McCoy and Tony Pettit remaining from the original lineup.
The band's name refers to a Biblical race of giants or angel-human hybrids, known as the Nephilim. Although they have not received substantial mainstream success, the band's seminal sound has proved highly influential, especially in the genre of gothic rock.

Want to show $\sum_{n=2}^{\infty} \frac{1}{2^{n}*n}$ converges. I am trying to show this by showing that the partial sums are bounded. I have tried doing this by induction but am not seeing how to pass the inductive assumption part. Do I need to instead look for a closed form? thanks
The sum is less than $\sum_{n=2}^{\infty} \frac{1}{2^n} = \frac{1}{2}$.
Hint All the terms are postive and $$\frac{1}{n2^n}\leq \frac 1 {2^n}$$
Think about the monotone convergence, or the so called comparison test.
You might want to realize a general principle here.
If we have $$\sum_{a \le n \le b}\frac{1}{f(n)g(n)}$$ and $f(n)$ and $g(n)$ are positive on $[a,b]$, then we always have that $$\sum_{a \le n \le b}\frac{1}{f(n)g(n)}\le\sum_{a\le n\le b}\frac{1}{f(n)} \text{ and } \sum_{a \le n \le b}\frac{1}{f(n)g(n)}\le\sum_{a \le n \le b}\frac{1}{g(n)}$$ when the sums $$\sum_{a \le n \le b}\frac{1}{f(n)}$$ and $$\sum_{a \le n \le b}\frac{1}{g(n)}$$ both converge.
In our case, we have that only one converges. Thus, only one of the inequalities is true.
Since you mentioned induction:
Let $s_m = \sum_{n=2}^{m} \frac{1}{2^{n}*n}$. Then $s_m \leq 1-\frac{1}{m}$.
$P(2)$ is obvious, while $P(m) \Rightarrow P(m+1)$ reduces to
$$1-\frac{1}{m}+\frac{1}{2^{m+1}(m+1)} \leq 1- \frac{1}{m+1}$$
which is equivalent to:
$$m \leq 2^{m+1}$$
Try using the root test. ${}{}{}$ This will give you that the series converges.
You need only know that $\lim_{n\to \infty}\sqrt[\large n]{n} = 1.\quad$ Then
$$\lim_{n\to \infty} \sqrt[\large n]{\dfrac{1}{n2^n}} = \sqrt[\large n]{\frac{1}{n}}\cdot\sqrt[\large n]{\frac{1}{2^n}} = 1 \cdot \dfrac{1}{2} = \dfrac{1}{2} < 1 \implies \sum_{n=2}^{\infty} \frac{1}{n\cdot2^{n}}\quad \text{converges}.$$
Note also that you'd get the same result (that the series converges), by using the the ratio test. Both the root test and ratio test are very useful for establishing convergence and/or divergence of many series.
Or we can go this way $$\sum_{n=2}^{\infty} \frac{1}{n2^{n}}\le\sum_{n=2}^{\infty} \frac{1}{n^2}\le \sum_{n=2}^{\infty} \frac{1}{n(n-1)}=1$$ and the sum is precisely $\log 2-\frac{1}{2}$ (hint: use the Taylor expansion of $\ln(1-x), |x|<1)$
Go back to the Cauchy test for convergence of a sequence.
Let $S_n = \sum_{k=2}^{n} \frac{1}{k2^k}$.
If $m < n$, $S_n-S_m = \sum_{k=m+1}^{n} \frac{1}{k2^k} < \sum_{k=m+1}^{n} \frac{1}{2^k} < \frac{1}{2^m} $ and this $\to 0$ as $m \to \infty$.
Therefore the sequence converges.
You can show that $-\ln(1-x)=\sum_1^\infty {x^n \over n}$ for $-1\le x<1$. Hence the series in question converges to $\ln{2}$.

Set in a courtly world of masked revels and dances, this play turns on the archetypal story of a lady falsely accused of unfaithfulness, spurned by her bridegroom, and finally vindicated and reunited with him. Villainy, schemes, and deceits threaten to darken the brilliant humor and sparkling wordplay but the hilarious counterplot of a warring couple, Beatrice and Benedick, steals the scene as the two are finally tricked into admitting their love for each other in Shakespeare's superb comedy of manners.
Each Edition Includes:
Comprehensive explanatory notes
Vivid introductions and the most up-to-date scholarship
Clear, modernized spelling and punctuation, enabling contemporary readers to understand the Elizabethan English
Completely updated, detailed bibliographies and performance histories
An interpretive essay on film adaptations of the play, along with an extensive filmography.
About the Author
Arguably the greatest English-language playwright, William Shakespeare was a seventeenth-century writer and dramatist, and is known as the Bard of Avon. Under the patronage of Queen Elizabeth I, he penned more than 30 plays, 154 sonnets, and numerous narrative poems and short verses. Equally accomplished in histories, tragedies, comedy, and romance, Shakespeare s most famous works include Romeo and Juliet, Hamlet, Macbeth, King Lear, The Taming of the Shrew, and As You Like It.
Like many of his contemporaries, including Christopher Marlowe, Shakespeare began his career on the stage, eventually rising to become part-owner of Lord Chamberlain s Men, a popular dramatic company of his day, and of the storied Globe Theatre in London.
Extremely popular in his lifetime, Shakespeare s works continue to resonate more than three hundred years after his death. His plays are performed more often than any other playwright s, have been translated into every major language in the world, and are studied widely by scholars and students.
Turner is Professor of English at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.
Hammersmith is Associate Professor of English at Auburn University.

Drug Control:
Coca Cultivation and Eradication Estimates in Colombia
GAO-03-319R: Published: Jan 8, 2003. Publicly Released: Jan 8, 2003.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-4268
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
In a letter to us, Congress noted the differing coca estimates for Colombia. In subsequent discussions, we agreed to determine the (1) purposes of the Crime and Narcotics Center's (CNC) coca cultivation estimate and the Department of State's Bureau for International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs, the Office of Aviation's coca eradication estimate in Colombia and (2) status of actions to implement the Executive Office of the President, Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP) study's recommendations.
The coca cultivation estimate prepared by CNC and the coca eradication estimate prepared the Office of Aviation in Colombia serve different purposes and cannot be readily reconciled to one another because of differences in their respective methodologies. Annually, CNC develops cultivation estimates for coca, opium poppy, and marijuana in drug-producing countries around the world. These are published each March as part of the President's determination whether to continue providing U.S. assistance to major drug-producing and -transit countries. To prepare its estimates, CNC analyzes black and white high-resolution photographs taken primarily from satellites covering a representative sample of the target country's known or suspected drug-growing areas. This allows CNC to estimate illicit drug cultivation for the entire country. In Colombia, these images are usually taken, weather permitting, between November and January of each year. Because these cultivation estimates are used by other U.S. government agencies to help determine the amount of illicit drugs available for consumption in the United States, CNC focuses on identifying fields of healthy coca plants with leaves that are suitable for processing into cocaine. As part of its support for the Colombian National Police, the Office of Aviation uses airborne digital cameras to photograph coca fields for targeting aerial spraying and, afterwards, to help estimate the number of hectares eradicated. Through computer analysis, the Office of Aviation analyzes the light reflecting off the vegetation to identify coca. The digital photos can be taken anytime weather permits and are targeted over areas where the Colombian National Police intends to conduct or has conducted aerial eradication operations. Also, because the Office of Aviation wants to identify any coca fields for aerial eradication, it includes coca seedlings and mature, damaged, and dead plants in its definition of a coca field. The June 2002 ONDCP study recommended, among other things, that CNC and the Office of Aviation reconcile their definitions of a coca field, develop an error rate for each estimate, and enhance the technologies used for developing the respective estimates. Both CNC and Office of Aviation officials said they are in the process of implementing many of these recommendations, though the Office of Aviation said that some would require additional funding. CNC noted that it would have many of the changes necessary completed in time for its 2002 coca cultivation estimate.

The FICO credit score is what most banks and lenders use, and anything in the 660-720 range is considered a good credit score under the FICO model (the higher the better).
However, there are more than 1,000 different types of credit scores, and they often utilize different score ranges. So, what's a good credit score under one model might not be considered good under another. For example, 700 would denote good credit if it's from FICO but would be below the good credit score range of the Vantage scale. The chart below shows the breakdown for the two most popular credit scores.
|Credit Standing
|FICO Score Range
|Vantage Score Range
|721 – 850
|750 – 850
|You have (if ALL factors apply):
1) 5+ years of card/loan experience
2) $10K+ in available credit;
3) never been 60+ days late on a bill;
4) never declared bankruptcy
|661 – 720
|700 – 749
|You have (if ALL factors apply):
1) 3+ years of card/loan experience
2) $5K+ in available credit
3) not been 60+ days late on a bill in the past 12 months
|620 – 660
|640 – 699
|You have (if ALL factors apply):
1) a credit card/loan
2) <$5K in available credit
3) may have been 60+ days late on a bill in the past 12 months
|300 – 619
|300 – 639
|You are (if ANY factor applies):
1) currently behind on a credit card/loan
2) close to maxing out your credit cards
3) working your way back from being 60+ days late on a credit card/loan in the past 90 days
4) recovering from bankruptcy filed in the past 3 years

Why is Good Credit Important?
Most people understand that credit scores are important. But just how important is another story altogether. Your credit standing not only dictates your ability to garner a loan or line of credit as well as the rate at which you'll pay interest on what you borrow, also impacts your insurance premiums, your ability to lease an apartment, and even your job prospects.
"Many companies think credit history is a way to find out if an applicant is responsible," says Michael M. Oswalt, assistant professor of labor and employment law at Northern Illinois Law School. "Companies may use a credit score in combination with other data points – including references, work history, and interview performance – to determine whether an applicant will be a good fit for the job."
While the use of credit history in hiring is on the decline – a sign of companies understanding that Great Recession difficulties aren't necessarily indicative of overall trustworthiness – just under half of all companies still request permission to review applicant's credit history. The practice is most common with jobs that involve handling money or sensitive information, which means jobs seekers in those fields should be especially cognizant of where their credit stands.
In short, the difference between good and bad credit is a lot of money and a lot of strife. "Good credit scores just make your financial life easier to maneuver," says Martha Doran, an associate professor of accountancy at San Diego State University. Without it, "you need to pay higher rates, deal with secondary lenders, ask parents to co-sign … none of which are quick or satisfying solutions."
The following table will give you a pretty good idea of just how much money good credit will save you on an annual basis.
*The figures above reflect national average rates and payments and are subject to change based on one's exact credit score, income, and debt.
How to Get Good Credit
If you don't already have good credit, your goal should be to attain it. And while many people ask how to "get" good credit, it's perhaps more appropriate to wonder how to "build" good credit. It's a formulaic process, after all.
The basic premise is that you want to infuse your major credit reports with positive information on a consistent basis in order to devalue any negative information already contained therein or simply add to a thin file. The easiest and least expensive way to do so is to open a credit card with no annual fees and keep it in good standing by making on-time payments (if you decide to make charges with the card). Your credit will actually improve even if you simply leave the card locked in a drawer, but the process moves a bit quicker when you make purchases and pay for them as agreed upon. To learn more, please check out our detailed explanation of how to improve your credit score.
The fundamentals of credit building hold true regardless of your exact starting point, but if you begin with damaged credit you'll also want to stop the bleeding immediately. If you're delinquent on an account, making the payment necessary to become current will prevent further credit score damage. Unfortunately, the damage is already done if you've already charged off or defaulted on an account.
You Need More Than a Good Credit Score
A good credit score is undoubtedly important, but that alone isn't always enough. Lenders and other decision makers also pay a lot of attention to your assets, income, and liabilities when evaluating your overall credit profile.
For example, a lot of people are surprised to hear that even people with immaculate credit history will not be able to get approved for a new loan or line of credit if their debt is already much higher than what their income justifies.
That's why it's important to not only monitor your payment habits, but also to concentrate on keeping your debt-to-income ratio below 30%. Taking the following steps will help you do so:
- Make a Budget: It's hard to determine whether or not you're spending beyond your means if you don't know how much you're spending each month and on what. It's therefore important to rank your monthly expenses in order of importance as well as cut any excess spending.
- Build an Emergency Fund: A financial safety net is essential to preventing income disruptions or unexpected expenses from becoming major problems. You should strive to amass about a year's take-home in an account that you can draw from whenever necessary.
- Utilize the Snowball Approach: Some debt can be good in that it may allow you to buy a home or secure transportation to work. But you don't want everyday expenses to exceed your income. Developing a budget will help prevent future overleveraging, but it's also important to pay off amounts already owed. The best way to do so is to use the Snowball Approach. That entails attributing the majority of your allotted monthly debt payment to the balance with the highest interest rate while making only the minimum payments on the rest of your debts. Once the most expensive balance is paid off, repeat with the second most costly, and so on.
Final Thoughts
If you now know that your credit is good, good for you. Keep up the good work, make on-time payments to all loans and lines of credit, stay out of useless debt, and your standing will continue to strengthen.
If you're less-than-pleased about your current status, do something about it. Open a secured card if necessary to get that monthly infusion of information into your credit reports. Just make sure the information being relayed to the credit bureaus is positive by following the same advice as above.
