"Theme development is a tedious and difficult task, and for the GTK devs to be so careless in breaking their API at every turn disrespects the many hours people put into making themes for it. [...] I was given to believe that this breakage stems from a Microsoft-like climate of preventing users from customizing their systems, and deliberately breaking the work of others so that your 'brand' is the best. Anytime I hear the word 'brand' being used in Linux, I know something valuable is being poisoned." I find the tone of this one a bit too harsh and overly negative at times, but his point still stands.

RE[2]: Priorities?
by ssokolow on Thu 8th Nov 2012 23:35 UTC in reply to "RE: Priorities?"
There are, of course, a few of us who stay in that tenuous middle ground, and I feel that's the worst place to be. It's always in flux; one day the kernel is broken because some guy upstream managed to squeeze into the release channel a performance patch that works for the tweakers but throws everyone else out of whack. Another day the devs of a very large and popular desktop environment project decide to throw out almost all the code and ideas, and start from scratch with something alien, just because they can.
That sounds about right. I was perfectly happy on KDE 3.5, where I could get work done when I wasn't geeking around for fun's sake but, now, it seems to be getting harder and harder to find something that's stable, performant, and doesn't try to force an alien workflow on me.
In fact, I think that's the real distinction. I come into a desktop knowing what I want and, if I can't get it, I'll dig in my heels and fight until I do before I'll consider alternatives, superior or otherwise.
I switched off Windows cold-turkey onto Mandrake Linux 10.0 and it still took me several months to feel safe on an OS where I hadn't been a power user since my age was measured in single digits but I was a KDE 3.5 user from the start because I knew exactly what I wanted and no desktop was going to tell me differently.
(And I was willing to put up with eye-searingly glossy/glassy icons if that's what it took to get that level of control. Remember, this was before the XDG Icon Naming Specification.)

Musca A simple dynamic window manager for X, with features nicked from ratpoison and dwm.
If some application does not work well try it in another window manager like openbox.herbstluftwm is a tiling window manager similar to musca, and it is under active development.
Musca can be installed with the package muscaAUR, available in the Arch User Repository.
First start
Read Musca tutorial for more information.
$ man musca
Basic default bindings:
- Mod4+t opens xterm
- Mod4+k closes window
- Mod4+x launches dmenu command input
- Mod4+m launches dmenu Musca command input
- Mod4+h splits frame horizontally
- Mod4+v splits frame vertically
- Mod4+movement key(Left,Right,Up,Down) changes focus to a frame in the specified direction
- Mod4+w launches dmenu window switcher
- Mod4+g launches dmenu group switcher
- Mod4+s switches the current group between tiling and stacking window modes
Whichever method you choose, you can either modify the config.h file in the source or use a .musca_start file to set your keybindings and to startup your applications. Using a .musca_start file has the advantage of not having to keep changing the config file on every update.
Musca has quite detailed information on its webpage. This section is only to highlight some of the important features that might not be obvious. Only a subset of features are listed here. For more detailed information, check the Musca webpage, especially the documentation which lists all the Musca commands and keyboard controls etc.
Sample .musca_start file
#unset all default Musca keybindings. bind off all #set Musca keybindings bind on Mod4+Shift+h hsplit 1/2 bind on Mod4+Shift+v vsplit 1/2 bind on Mod4+Shift+r remove bind on Mod4+Shift+o only bind on Mod4+Shift+k kill bind on Mod1+F4 kill bind on Mod4+Shift+c cycle bind on Mod1+Tab cycle bind on Mod4+Left focus left bind on Mod4+Right focus right bind on Mod4+Up focus up bind on Mod4+Down focus down bind on Mod4+Tab use (next) bind on Mod4+Shift+Tab use (prev) bind on Mod4+Shift+w switch window bind on Mod4+Shift+g switch group bind on Mod4+x shell bind on Mod4+Shift+x command bind on Mod4+Shift+d dedicate flip bind on Mod4+Shift+a catchall flip bind on Mod4+Shift+u undo bind on Mod4+Shift+s stack flip bind on Mod4+Shift+Left swap left bind on Mod4+Shift+Right swap right bind on Mod4+Shift+Up swap up bind on Mod4+Shift+Down swap down bind on Mod4+Control+Left resize left bind on Mod4+Control+Right resize right bind on Mod4+Control+Up resize up bind on Mod4+Control+Down resize down bind on Mod4+Shift+q quit bind on Mod4+Shift+b border flip #bindings to switch between groups bind on Mod4+0 use 0 bind on Mod4+1 use 1 bind on Mod4+2 use 2 bind on Mod4+3 use 3 bind on Mod4+4 use 4 bind on Mod4+5 use 5 bind on Mod4+6 use 6 bind on Mod4+7 use 7 bind on Mod4+8 use 8 bind on Mod4+9 use 9 bind on Mod4+Shift+0 move 0 bind on Mod4+Shift+1 move 1 bind on Mod4+Shift+2 move 2 bind on Mod4+Shift+3 move 3 bind on Mod4+Shift+4 move 4 bind on Mod4+Shift+5 move 5 bind on Mod4+Shift+6 move 6 bind on Mod4+Shift+7 move 7 bind on Mod4+Shift+8 move 8 bind on Mod4+Shift+9 move 9 # dmenu settings #set dmenu -b -i -nb '#333333' -nf '#a8a3f7' -fn 'terminus-10' set dmenu -b -i -nb grey20 -nf '#a1b5cd' -fn '-*-dina-medium-r-normal-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*' #set dmenu -b -i -nb '#0A0A0A' -nf '#A0A0A0' -fn 'helvetica 9' -sb '#285577' -sf '#FFFFFF' manage off stalonetray manage off Conky set window_open_frame empty set window_open_focus 0 set group_close_empty 1 pad 0 0 0 16 exec stalonetray exec xbindkeys exec conky vsplit 40% hsplit 20% exec skype
The above .musca_start uses "Mod4+Shift+key" as the default keybinding so that "Mod4+key" can be used to start applications or for anything else. You can change the default keybindings to anything that you prefer.
1) run any Musca command on the fly.
- single Musca command:
$ musca -c "catchall flip"
- multiple Musca commands:
$ echo -e "hsplit 2/3\nfocus right\nvsplit 2/3\nfocus down" | musca -i
2) "hook" - This can be extremely useful for chaining Musca commands together or firing off scripts on certain events. For eg.
hook on ^add pad 0 0 0 16
The above will always run the 'pad' command whenever a new group is added using the 'add' command.
Therefore, when you 'add' a new group, it will automatically pad it with the given values.
Hooking multiple Musca commands:
hook on ^(add|use) pad 0 0 0 16
3) Musca has a list of settings that can be altered on the fly using the following command:
set <name> <value>
Using musca -c as mentioned above, you can get information from Musca and control it through a script written in your favorite language. For example, here is a ruby script to cycle through a set of layouts. The script knows the previous layout by looking for the presence of two dummy files in /tmp.
#!/usr/bin/ruby file1 = "/tmp/musca-layout-1" file2 = "/tmp/musca-layout-2" def musca_run f system "musca -c \"#{f}\"" end files = [file1, file2].map{|f| File.exist? File.expand_path(f)} if files == [false, false] # 0 files # -> hsplit, add one file musca_run "only" musca_run "hsplit 1/2" system "touch #{file1}" elsif files == [true, false] # 1 file # -> vsplit, add second file musca_run "only" musca_run "vsplit 1/2" system "touch #{file2}" else # any other number of files # -> only, delete all files musca_run "only" system "rm #{file1} #{file2}" end
To read information from Musca, use the command musca -c "show ..." or musca -c "dump ..." where you should replace ... with an option from the commands documentation.
Java Virtual Machine
There are various workarounds by empty and gray windows:
- Motif-based Integration (
$ export AWT_TOOLKIT=MToolkit
- WMNAME utility (wmname)
$ wmname LG3D
Application loses focus
- Switch to another group and go back to previous group ["
use (other)"]
- Cycle over windows ["
cycle prev" and "
cycle next"]
- Check for hidden dialog windows
- Use mouse click
- Try xdotool , example:
$ xdotool search -name tv-browser windowactivate --sync mousemove 500 500 click 1
Known mistakes in .musca_start
- Commenting after "bind on" command
- Binding commands to same shortcut
- Misspelling

I am starting this thread. I am starting this thread with the full statement that this is both a comprehensive evaluation of mechanics, and a brain dump. These are my opinions. Everything said here is tempered by the fact that: a) I love what I have played and b) I just like making suggestions and my brain just tries to solve problems even problems that aren't really there. I have A LOT to write. I am going to do it in chunks. They likely will take a while. Hopefully too much won't change in between but it is ok if they do. Feel free to reply. But also know that I am fully aware that some of my thoughts are short sighted, personal, and indicitive of my play level. For now I start with classes. I have only managed to find one advanced class/monster so I have no statements on those yet. Oh warning blocks of text incoming.
Fighter - I love playing it, because of perception of strength gain(faster leveling). I consider him fun but non-competitive most of the time. Tiered healing at level 10 helps some but in general find his vanilla nature to not be a puzzle piece for any dungeon. One thought of a change is to make his XP requirements be -10% per level rounded up. Essentially changing total xp requirements to level 10 from 275 to 245. Almost identical power wise to +1 per kill but actually extends his power more in late late game.
Berserker - Woo flavor! Is a fun puzzle piece. I find him frustrating to play at times though. For two fold reasons, one is just RNG. Even in magic based dungeons you can be screwed by all the physical monsters being in a level grouping which ruins tempo. With magic being harder to use this can devastate a run by number of resources required to get past this. The other frustration is damage calculation. I will go into this more, but essentially it is time consuming to constantly calculate the extra 30% and makes it less fun.
Warlord - If there is ever a class that begs to behave fundamentally differently than others it is this one. This is a class that is designed around a) using Cysdstep b) barely 3 shotting enemies(2 shot after bonus from low hp), and stacking enough mana so that a mana pot will let you kill something that is just shy of a 4 shot(with three hits, and all sorts of bonus damage). I don't enjoy playing the class most of the time because the mechanics to make it work are essentialy JJ or go home. Stacking mana is often counter productive from a prep point of view to an essentially melee class(you need your mana for cydstep so you won't cast many other spells.) Lastly, the damage calculation feels like a nightmare, but again I will go into this more. I am not sure I am prepared to offer suggestions, but I feel the class is un-fun because of overhead.
Thief - Much has been said about his overpoweredness. I never really understood it. To a large degree I still don't. Part of the problem is I think that instead of all of his abilities synergizing into flavor, they are all just good. When you become a master at the game the resource numbers add up and you have a powerful jack of all trades. However, this seems to be able to be balanced with the value of resources. Really I feel no flavor of a thief though, and that sort of is dull to me.
Rogue - Woo are these guys fun. Get them some HP and they can ruin a lot of dungeons. Without more HP, they can be a frustration of mediocrity. Honestly I would love to see these guys be forced to be more tactical. I see them as opportunists. To do this however I think they would ALWAYS need dodge prediction. If they always had it they could be played much more effectively without having to rely on HP buffs. They would utilize low level mobs as even more unique resource. Though dodges would need to be re-rolled per attack not per hit taken. Regardless, fun to play.
Assassin - A fun puzzle piece. Largely feels blah outside of being a puzzle piece. I think this is because of the problem of third tier clases being tied to the spells they unlock. There benefit is to start with the spell. However the use of there spell feels like a giant resource hog. Especially considering the need to explore around mobs to get benefit of other ability(I like this ability thought, it has flavor). I think this could be improved(and add flavor) such that whenever a mob that has poison CAST on it dies, a 3x3 square is refogged. Sort of a "cloak of shadows" ability. Has flavor and function. This may need to be on only equal or higher level targets or be severely overpowered.
Priest - Never really liked them. Oh sure I feel great when slaughtering undead, and feel terrible when there are none, or none I can reach. Similiar to Berserker problem with magic attack enemies, sometimes you can't find any and you feel gimped. This is offset a little by the extra hp. Calculating optimally using their potions can be difficult, and often not really all that effective. Even with extra hp a lot of bosses still drain most of your hp in one shot. Great you say that is what your potions fix, except that means you have 6 shots at the boss(except for halfling) and then spent. If it not an undead boss, that is likely not enough. Flavorwise I am meh, undead is cool but otherwise I don't feel it.
Monk - So much said about this class since alpha. Always been fun even when "underpowered". Feels unique, more so than the other classes. Wish there was more of that across the board. As it stands now I feel it lost some uniqueness. Since I feel it competes with the Paladin. Not really sure what I would do about that, but one idea I had tossed around for use.. somewhere but could fit here is stacking damage reduction per level. Starts with -1 damage taken, and gets another -2 at level 2 and so one. Ending at -55 damage at level 10. This could be broken severely so some sort of other limiter might need to come into play. But I like the flavor. Starting damage may need to be increased a bit to compensate(for early levels). Won't say much more but just want to repeat I love the unique feel of it's abilities.
Paladin - Stable class. Mono-theism is neat. Cool things you can do with gods when you can ignore punishment. Halpmeh is pretty much what everyone wants to see sitting next to them when they start. This is the least complicated third tier class. I think this is directly related to the fact that it has the most generally useful glyph. I am not sure that is a problem, because there can be fun completixity with mono-theism, enough to end a run if you mess it up.
Wizard - Ranges from fun and unique(spell flinger go!) to blah and underpowered(so I hit things with my smaller stick?). Depends on dungeon, and RNG. Recent changes have improved this some, but still feels like they are better off a spell swords using magic to enhance there hitting. This is problematic because I feel this steps on the toes of the Sorcerer. Honestly I think a lot of this is related to an underpoweredness of Burndayraz. I will touch on this more later. Most of the time that I hear of magic being powerful in the game though it is because of pisorf, which seems awkward especially since they find an extra fireball glyph.
Sorceror - Love them. They are a lot of fun. They let you sort of dishout pain from all directions. They LIKE burndayraz because the mana cost gives more hp back. Scaling on the HP return can be a bit uncomfortable at higher levels. They in some ways get WEAKER as they get higher levels because of it. 10% healing per 1 mana spent would probably be overpowered, but some sort of percent might be cool. Standard damage calculation frustration mentioned before because of mana shield though since it isn't a percent it is far easier to accomodate and calculate.
Bloodmage - Honestly? This is in my mind the perfect advanced class. It is complicated but not arcane. It requires advanced play to get it's full benefit. It rewards thinking carefully about your next move, but doesn't mandate repeated math and number crunching to do that. It is mostly designed around exactly what it wants to do. Like the monk it feels unique and THAT is cool. My only complaint would be a similiar quibble about the class being designed around a spell which I feel should just be inherent like the monk. Double mana regen. I know this can't really be done consistency wise without doing something similar with the other 3 tier 3 classes but just a note.

The lawsuit (Civil Action No. 1:01-CV-00641) alleged that Sears violated Title I of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA) when it failed to provide a reasonable accommodation to Carl P. Davenport, who is blind. Sears denies that it violated the ADA in any manner.
As part of the settlement, Sears will continue to train all of its supervisors and managers at the Sears Credit facility in Greensboro about the requirements of the ADA and its provisions regarding reasonable accommodations; designate a manager at its Greensboro Credit facility who will be responsible for ADA issues; monitor all applicants who have requested a reasonable accommodation at its Greensboro Credit facility; and continue its good faith efforts to recruit qualified visually impaired applicants.
"This settlement demonstrates that two parties can reach a satisfactory agreement when they commit themselves to exploring means of preventing discrimination in the workplace," said Michael A. Whitlow, Acting Director of the EEOC's Charlotte District Office. "We are pleased with the settlement and are encouraged by Sears' commitment to comply with the ADA. Every individual deserves the freedom to compete in the workplace on a level playing field without being subjected to discrimination."
Charges of disability discrimination filed annually with the EEOC nationwide account for about 20% of the federal agency's caseload. EEOC enforces Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex and national origin; the Age Discrimination in Employment Act; the Equal Pay Act; Title I of the Americans with Disabilities Act, which prohibits discrimination against people with disabilities in the private sector and state and local governments; and prohibitions against discrimination affecting individuals with disabilities in the federal sector. Further information about the EEOC is available at our website at www.eeoc.gov.

Dennis Basso is celebrating 30 years in fashion with his show tomorrow at Lincoln Center. Three of the women who walked in his show in the '90s — Joan Collins, Joan Rivers and Ivana Trump — will be front and center. We're told Trump went to Basso's very first show, in 1983 at the Regency Hotel, and bought seven fur coats right after the show. Also expected are Olivia Palermo, Star Jones and Fern Mallis. Last week, Basso was spotted at lunch with two top CAA agents — sparking rumors he may be working on a TV show aside from his QVC appearances. Basso was also seen schmoozing with Coco Rocha, who was dining at Michael's.

Second Half Blues
This is not a one year fluke, it's not a two year coincidence...it's a trend...and it's killing this franchise because of how it impacts everything from off season sales, to team payroll to potential advertising and marketing opportunities...and it's been going on for the past 10 years.
It's been discussed at WSI, the "second half blues" this organization suffers on the field almost every year since 2003.
Because of the characture limitations on the message boards, I'm going to post this in three parts. I should have everything up in about 20 minutes.
If you could refrain from comment until I can post the three parts back to back to back, I'd appreciate it. Then feel free to do what you will.
Part 1 (Overview)
Once again the White Sox have found a way to snatch defeat from the jaws of post season victory. Again they collapsed down the stretch and in doing so wasted a golden opportunity to play in October.
This is something that has been occurring on a regular basis since 2003… playing worse down the stretch than earlier in the season or going through a 10 day / two week collapse and wasting postseason playoff spots.
The White Sox have wasted more chances to make the post season since the new century began, than they have actually made the postseason.
That is embarrassing. It is making a fan base already upset about things even more combustible.
It has got to be impacting ticket sales and ultimately team payroll.
I've attached some numbers for your consideration. I'm frankly shocked that no one seems to be making an issue out of this and asking the million dollar question,
is this continually happening?
I call it "the second half blues…" It is happening on a regular basis however you define 'second half.' Be it an equal division between 162 games or games played after the All Star Break.
I don't have an answer for it, I wish I did, I'd send it to the Sox. JB might have hit upon the answer. I'm paraphrasing his reply.
"The Sox usually have pretty good players in the top half of the roster every year. What kill them are the bottom third, guys 16 through 25. When the regulars need a break, if they are injured seriously or to the point where they have to miss only three or four games, if they are in a slump… whatever reason when the Sox have to replace them, the guys they use to fill in simply aren't major league caliber. At bats, innings, are going to guys who can't cut it. That results in games lost and eventually enough games to be sitting at home in October. They have top heavy rosters with little to no depth."
I think JB makes a valid point. Just look at this past September. On at least two occasions the Sox had either the tying or winning run at the plate in the 9th inning with two out. Who was hitting in those situations? Who was the 'last hope?' Orlando Hudson and Jose Lopez.
The question is why?
If you divide up the season into equal parts, the numbers from 2003 to 2012 show that the Sox played at a
win percentage in games 82-162 as opposed to games 1-81
in six out of the 10 years.
They played better in the second half three times and had the exact same numbers in both halves one time.
If you divide up the season into before and after the All Star break, the numbers from 2003 to 2012 show that
the Sox played at a worse win percentage after the All Star break as compared to before it in eight out of the 10 years.
In the crucial part of the season when games become more meaningful because there aren't as many left the Sox can't seem to get it done! They played better in the second half twice under these parameters, that's it!
(Part II History is coming right up...)

It's already time for a "spring" musical at Veronica Connor Middle School.
Seventy students at the school will present "The Musical Adventures of Flat Stanley Jr." Oct. 11, 12 and 13 next week.
This year's musical is about five months earlier than last year, but demand for use of the Grand Island High School auditorium prompted a change in schedule.
"This way we can set up here for weeks and we can be the only group in here," said Andrew Boron, who directs the show with Sarah Russo. Rehearsals for last year's show were sandwiched in between rehearsals for the high school musical, music department concerts, and the Corporate Bowl. Though the production last year was spread out over 10 weeks, this year's production began just five weeks ago.
"They've done a great job getting the show ready in the short amount of time," Boron said.
"I've been very impressed with how well they've put everything together," Russo said. "They've been wonderful."
Russo said the musical is based on the "Flat Stanley" children's book series by Jeff Brown. Stanley(played by Sam Sommer) makes a wish to go on great worldwide adventures. He gets flattened by a bulletin board and turns two-dimensional, allowing him to be mailed to places like Hollywood, Paris and Hawaii.
Boron described the production as "a pop-rock show" that "hits a lot of genres" in music, including country, calypso and Broadway show tunes.
Russo said the musical, like the books, encourages children to go out and explore their world, but Stanley learns also, though, that home is not a bad place to be either.
"The Musical Adventures of Flat Stanley Jr."
•Date: Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, Oct. 11, 12 and 13.
•Show times: 7 p.m.
•Where: Grand Island High School auditorium, 1100 Ransom Road.
•Tickets: $5 or $3 for children under 10.

PARIS, Jan. 25 (UPI) -- A French court says Twitter must identify the posters of racist and anti-Semitic tweets by alerting French authorities to "illegal content" on its French site.
The French-language twittersphere has seen a rash of racist, homophobic and anti-Semitic tweets for months and, while Twitter agreed to remove some offensive postings, the company resisted calls to release identifying information on the posters.
A French advocacy group, the Union of Jewish Students, took Twitter to court in attempt to force the issue.
"We're not able to identify the individuals, only Twitter can do so," Sacha Reingewirtz, the vice president of the student group, said.
On Thursday, the Grand Instance Court in Paris ordered Twitter to identify the authors of anti-Semitic tweets by creating a mechanism to alert French authorities of such postings "in a visible and easily-accessible [way]," CNN reported.
If Twitter doesn't comply within two weeks, the court said, the company would face fines of $1,336 per day.

Jim Russell CORRESPONDENT
Published Saturday August 3, 2013 at 6:12 am
Updated Saturday August 3, 2013 at 5:30 pm
The thousands of Pan-Mass Challenge bicyclists streaming onto Route 20 at daybreak today are creating their own journey to the promised land of a world without cancer.
Pan-Mass founder and president Billy Starr -- cutting his own pedaling path for 33 years - initially against great odds -- has now ridden nearly 12,000 miles during this event.
He is directly responsible for raising $400 million, to date, for cancer research.
So far this year $25 million has been collected toward the 2013 goal of $38 million. When all receipts have been collected from the annual ride, the total raised since 1980 is expected to reach $413 million.
Mr. Starr and his 5,506 riding companions on Saturday departed the Host Hotel in Sturbridge and Wellesley's Babson College campus en route to Provincetown as much for the experience, camaraderie and passion, as for the sense of mission and purpose.
"You know, it's highly emotional riding, seeing a child with no hair at the end of a driveway saying 'thank you,' that gets to you," said veteran Pan-Mass cyclist Al Wood, 69, of Boston.
"This ride gives you an athletic experience, a spiritual experience and an emotional experience."
Riding for the 12th year, Mr. Wood was asked what keeps him coming back.
"The job's not done," he said.
"There is no question the PMC is like an emotional clearinghouse of the synergy of the human spirit," Mr. Starr, 62, said in an interview. "It represents the better values of the human condition."
The PMC founder stands solid as a rock, trim, a model of good health.
The movement to fight for a cure to all forms of cancer is analogous to the Civil Rights and anti-war marches that occurred in the nation's capital in the 1960s - people power for justice and a better life, he said.
"What is being replicated by the masses [of bicyclists] takes you back to the marches on Washington -- what you can do when people do better, when people mobilize in a righteous cause, it gives you faith in humanity," Mr. Starr said. "To think a bike event can be a conduit for all that good-will is to say it ended up exactly where it should."
Kelly Dolan, 28, lost her mother this past year to ovarian cancer. She is riding for the first time with her husband Jay, 33, who grew up in Sterling. The couple now live in Naples, Fla.
"It still hurts, Mrs. Dolan said, trying to hold back tears.
"It's hopeful. When I decided to ride last year, I wanted her to see me," she said. "And we are still doing it. We need to keep fighting until no one is lost to it." Mrs. Dolan grew up in Quncy. She and her husband ride a twin bike.
Progress in the fight against cancer is being made, and more breakthroughs are right around the corner, according to Dr. Edward J. Benz Jr. He is Richard and Susan Smith Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School, professor of pediatrics, and professor of genetics.
Dr. Benz is also president and chief executive officer of Dana-Farber Cancer Institute -- where most of the money raised by the Challenge is donated.
A two-pronged approach to cancer treatment -- with medicines that enhance immune system function and directly counteract the debilitating effects of cancer - shows great promise, he said.
"I think we are finally able to make drugs that give the immune system a boost to reject the tumor," Dr. Benz said in a telephone interview on Thursday. "We may just be cracking the ice on a whole new field of immunotherapy, that is converging with the use of genetically targeted therapies that attack the cancer itself."
Dr. Benz calls the breakthrough "hitting the cancer with a left jab and a right cross at the same time."
Funding cutting edge research and attracting the brightest, most promising newer doctors are among the greatest benefits from the PMC money, Dr. Benz said.
Because the newest doctors typically are among those least likely to receive research grants, the unrestricted nature of the PMC cash provides a way to fund new ideas and attract the best help, he said.
Dana-Farber can "invest in young people that often have the best and brightest ideas but who traditionally have the hardest time obtaining funding," the hospital president said.
A Worcester man who grew up in the Ukraine is riding his first Challenge with Team Grodsky. The team is named after Harry Grodsky & Co. where Alex Groza, 27, works. He moved to Worcester at age 15 from Uzhgorod in western Ukraine.
Team Grodsky has 20 riders, a 100 percent increase from a year ago when they fielded 10. And the team goal this year of raising $150,000 was surpassed. As of Friday $155,000 had been collected.
In existence since 2011, Team Grodsky has raised nearly a half-million dollars in total for the PMC.
"Last year I was volunteering. I saw a guy riding with one hand, one leg, I said: 'Hell, I can do it,'" Mr. Groza said. "This is amazing, mind-blowing, raising money for cancer (research) is amazing."
The team was started when a company employee, Tom Mahan, developed multiple myeloma, a cancer that attacks plasma in the bone marrow.
As cyclists lined up to ride out at 5:30 a.m., Mr. Starr was on a loudspeaker encouraging everyone.
The national anthem was sung by noted opera singer Andrew Garland, 36.
A rider in the Pan-Mass since 1992, the baritone practices his singing three hours a day. Mr. Garland is in rehearsal for the Boston Lyric Opera's fall production of Mozart's "The Magic Flute," when he performs as Papageno.
But this weekend is different.
"Everybody, I don't care who you are, everybody's life have been touched by cancer and everybody wants to do something about it. I happen to be a cyclist and this is something I can do to find a cure for cancer," Mr. Garland said.
This year's event drew riders from 38 states and five countries. More than 3,000 volunteers assisted.

A California researcher engaged in insider trading by delivering tomorrow's news today to hedge fund contacts, a prosecutor told a jury during opening statements at the first trial to result from the government's probe of those who peddle inside information as if it were legitimate research.
Assistant U.S. Attorney David Leibowitz said in U.S. District Court in Manhattan that Winifred Jiau, 43, received more than $200,000 for feeding inside information to two hedge fund managers in 2008. Lawyer Joanna Hendon countered that her client never engaged in insider trading.
"Winifred Jiau would give the men who paid her tomorrow's news today," Leibowitz said. The prosecutor said Jiau conspired with a senior financial analyst that she met while working temporarily in 2007 at computer chips manufacturer Nvidia Corp. to get information about Nvidia's sales and profits before they were announced publicly.
He said she then fed the information to the hedge fund managers, along with information from a co-conspirator who worked in the finance department of Marvell Technology Group Limited. Those hedge fund managers included Samir Barai, who made $800,000 in 18 days in 2008 after he bought $4 million worth of Marvell stock just before an earnings announcement that Jiau had tipped him about, Leibowitz said.
Barai, the 39-year-old owner of the Barai Capital Management hedge fund in Manhattan, pleaded guilty last week to insider trading charges.
Leibowitz said prosecutors will prove their case through testimony from cooperators seeking leniency at their sentencing and through taped telephone conversations of Jiau along with documents including emails, instant messages and trading records.
He said jurors will learn that Jiau communicated in code with her co-defendants, sometimes using "cooks" to refer to those who provided inside information, "sugar" to refer to money she was paid for her tips and "recipe" for inside information. The prosecutor quoted from one transcript, saying Jiau told Barai in one written correspondence: "anyhow, I will know something when I got the sugar. before that, I don't know anything."
Leibowitz said witnesses will include Son Ngoc Nguyen of San Jose, Calif., a senior financial analyst for Nvidia who pleaded guilty to insider trading charges last week as well, admitting that he fed Jiau secrets about his company from 2007 through 2009.
Leibowitz said Nguyen will testify that he never received any money for his tips, only promises that Jiau would help him get an edge in his own trading in the stock market.
Hendon said her client moved to the United States from Taiwan 20 years ago to attend Stanford University before settling near San Francisco and becoming a U.S. citizen.
She said Jiau decided to become a consultant in the securities industry with an expertise in computer chip companies after working for two years in Taiwan at a semiconductor company. The lawyer said Jiau quit advising hedge funds at the end of 2008 because she wanted to do something different.
"There was no insider trading, and there was certainly no crime of insider trading," Hendon said.
Jiau has been unable to make $500,000 bail since her December arrest in a government crackdown on specialists in the financial industry who pass off inside information about companies as legitimate research.
Prosecutors say the Fremont, Calif., woman provided inside information while she worked as a consultant for two years for Primary Global Research, a Mountain View, Calif., firm. Eight of 13 people charged in the probe have pleaded guilty.

Improved handling with addition of new customizable controls
Reconceived based on the experience and feedback of professional users, the EOS-1D X's new ergonomic design is more comfortable and intuitive than ever. With a refined and intelligent layout of all control buttons and dials, shooting settings can be made with just the right hand, and quick image check and image processing operations with just the left. New, assignable and tactile function buttons located on the front of the camera enable fast access to features the photographer uses frequently. The vertical grip has been redesigned for comfort and familiarity, and combined with a vertical position Multi-Controller, Mfn2 and Depth-of-Field preview buttons provides every option found with horizontal for uninterrupted, intuitive shooting no matter the camera's orientation.
During shooting, the EOS-1D X's dedicated Quick Control button enables speedy changes of nearly every shooting parameter with the touch of a button. During playback, pressing the Quick Control button enables the photographer to protect images, rotate, rate, resize, view highlight alert, AF point and much more. Plus, with the EOS-1D X's new Multi Function Lock, the Main Dial, Quick Control Dial and Multi-Controller can all be locked, individually or together.
The EOS-1D X's Graphic User Interface shows improvements as well. The menu structure has been redesigned so that frequently used functions previously buried in the menu hierarchy are brought to the front. Operations previously assigned to buttons, controls, menus and custom functions have been consolidated for quick access in the menu, ensuring the photographer can concentrate on composing and shooting images.
Enhanced recording options with Dual Card Slots, Gigabit-Ethernet terminal
To complement the high-speed drive and record the maximum number of shots as quickly as possible, the EOS-1D X records solely to industry speed-leading CompactFlash cards and features Dual Card Slots. Supporting UDMA mode 7, with a maximum data transfer rate of 167 MB/s as well as exFAT maximum file sizes, the EOS-1D X can use Type I and Type II CF recording media. Three recording settings are available: Auto switch, wherein the camera automatically switches from one card to another when the first is filled, Record Separately where the same image is recorded to each card, but in different size or file type, or Record to Multiple, where the same image is saved to both cards in the same size (or sizes), providing an instant backup for added security. Additionally, images can easily be transferred from one CF card to the other. Wired image transfer is also speedier than ever thanks to the EOS-1D X's built-in Gigabit Ethernet terminal (1000BASE-TX).
Optional Canon Wireless File Transmitter & GPS
The EOS-1D X is compatible with the new WFT-E6A Wireless File Transmitter for wireless LAN and Bluetooth transfer with the IEEE 802.11 a/b/g/n standards, performing up to 2.5x faster than previous models. A new image resend feature ensures that all images get transferred, even if a signal drop interrupts transmission. The small and lightweight WFT-E6A is discrete, does not interfere with other camera operations, and maintains the EOS-1D X's high level of dust and drip resistance.
The GPS Receiver GP-E1 attaches to the EOS-1D X, offering the same dust and water-resistant protection as the camera body itself, features its own power supply and is always ready to append location data to images. It records latitude, longitude, elevation and has a GPS Time Sync Function that synchronizes the camera clock with a satellite and features an electronic compass that records the camera's orientation when shooting.
In certain countries and regions, the use of GPS may be restricted. Therefore, be sure to use GPS in accordance with the laws and regulations of your country or region. Be particularly careful when traveling outside your home country.
As a signal is received from GPS satellites, take sufficient measures when using in locations where the use of electronics is regulated.

Xbox 360 Kinect and EA Sports Active 2
The quest to get healthier via video games (specifically the Kinect) continues in this installment of our Kinect review series where we take a look at EA Sports Active 2. With a title like that, how can this game not provide health benefits?
From the advertising and packaging, EA Sports Active 2 promises to be pretty much the complete package and everything that one would look for in a "get fit" title. Having had the previous version of this game on the Wii, I was no stranger to the format and was eager to compare the versions. The Kinect version offers the advantage of doing away with needing to hold or strap to your body the Wiimote and numchuck which is hugely welcome as the whole Wiimote strapped to the thigh is not terribly comfortable. This version does add an accessory strapped to your body, but thankfully it is only the heart rate monitor which is strapped to your arm.
This title, like the one for the Wii also comes with a resistance band. One big set up gripe is that unlike the Wii game, there were no directions for how to attach the straps to the resistance band. My first attempt at attaching failed and during a workout the band snapped and the result was painful. I had to look at the directions that came in the packaging for the Wii version of the game in order to properly attach the handles to the resistance band.
In this title you can choose challenges that have various goals which you can set to different time intervals (ie a lose 5 lbs 30 day challenge). You can also just choose a workout program and get cracking without going through the challenge setup which is nice for when you just want to grab a quick session. I'm a fan of the challenges as I feel like they help me to stay motivated and keep track of when I should workout. The game play between the Wii version is similar with a few exceptions, one of these being that if you choose a workout program with days that you want to workout, you cannot start a workout on any of the non "workout days" which are programmed in when you choose your challenge. To start a workout on a non-workout day you have to change your entire program instead of the game just shifting your schedule to accommodate for this change like it does on the Wii version.
Compared to the last fitness game I reviewed, The Biggest Loser, this title continuously offers a much more challenging, yet interesting workouts and is not insulting. There are plenty of activities and exercises to keep you motivated and the difficulty level is challenging enough to make you sweat and varied enough to prevent boredom.
As with the Wii version of this game, I HATE HATE HATE the resistance band. It hurts my hand and wrist and is so awkward to hold. Why is there not a "holder" of some sort made for this (other than the pathetic straps including with these games)? It is easily my biggest complaint about this series of titles as this band appears in all of the Active titles I have tried. I don't want to use the resistance band because it hurts my wrists which means by eliminating the band from the workouts I am eliminating all of the arm exercises. This obviously is not ideal and would be avoided if there was a better handle on the ends. Even as I type this review, my wrist still aches from my most recent 20 minute session.
The heart monitor does get in the way for some exercises that involve the resistance band, but aside from that it is not a bother and is nothing like the annoying Wiimote on the leg. The heart rate monitor provides data on your heart rate throughout the game and this level of feedback is quite welcome.
This game had less trouble finding me when I was on the ground and surprisingly accurately counted every pushup. Oddly enough it did want more space away from the sensor and kept asking me to step back in any of the activities that involved jumping and running. I have a fairly large (NYC large) amount of space from my TV to couch compared to other 1 BR apartments in the city and if my living room cannot meet the demands of the device I know of few friends in this town whose spaces would. The more I use the Kinect, the more I come to realize that this is a product demands a suburban living room.
Bottom line, we'd definitely recommend this title for anyone looking for a good varied workout from their Kinect. Out of the various titles we have tried so far, Active 2 delivers the most fitness bang for the buck and is the one we keep coming back to when we want to get our blood pumping (in a good way).
What has your experience been with EA Sports Active ? Do you know of a good solution for preventing wrist pain from using the resistance band?

(BPT) – You're pregnant. First, you're anxious and then suddenly you become overjoyed. Then you ask, "Now what?" It's typically the first question that excited parents-to-be utter after receiving the news of a positive pregnancy test. While it's true that babies lack instruction manuals, modern technology is giving parents access to helpful information like never before, helping them thoroughly prepare for this thrilling, but often confusing, time.
Jane Buckingham, mother of two and author of the "Modern Girl's Guide to Motherhood," knows that expectant and new parents often have a lot of unanswered questions. "I know that all parents are always on the hunt for real-life parenting advice and tips, online and on-the-go, especially expectant and new moms," Buckingham says.
A recent Huggies survey confirms she's correct: 78 percent of new moms and expectant women spend at least two hours a day searching for pregnancy and baby information online. Does this sound like you?
Every mom has lists of questions and unanswered scenarios that play out in her head throughout her pregnancy. It's important to learn as much as you can, but don't overwhelm yourself. Here are a few of Buckingham's favorite tips to help busy moms-to-be:
Do your research – New moms can become overwhelmed with so many new experiences and unique questions. Where do you turn? Try out the Mommy Answers Forum on the Huggies Facebook page. It's a one-stop destination for all the top pregnancy and baby information from leading parenting sites and resources. Visit www.facebook.com/Huggies and browse through a variety of categories such as "signs of pregnancy" and "baby names," or type in your own question to search for specific answers.
Pack smart – Buy an inexpensive yet comfortable pillow to bring with you to the hospital, but not bring home. You'll leave with twice as much as you came with, including gifts, flowers, supplies and of course, the new baby. Aim to streamline your hospital bag. This also goes for supplies you bring with for your new bundle of joy, too. Of course you'll need an outfit, car seat and blanket or jacket depending on the weather, but leave the stuffed animals and extra supplies at home. The hospital will have everything you need to care for the baby and the toys will be waiting to welcome baby when you get home.
Plan ahead – Smartphone-addicted or not, emailing is the fastest and least taxing way to spread the word of your newest arrival. Consider creating a mailing list and drafting an email ahead of time so that it's all ready to go. Be sure to include family, friends and your work contacts so everyone can rejoice when the good news arrives. Include a photo if possible, because an image is worth a thousand words, especially when it comes to newborn babies.
Love the list – Staying organized when there seems to be a million things going on at once can be overwhelming for expectant or new mothers. Checklists are the key to ensuring you're prepared as best you can be for the approaching adventures of parenthood. An easy-to-use resource is the Welcome Baby Guide, found at Huggies.com. This "new mom survival kit" includes checklists of essentials to help you survive the first hectic weeks of parenthood, covering topics such as preparing for the hospital and bringing home baby.
With these easy go-to tips, you'll be well on your way to being fully prepared to welcome your little one into the world.

I completely agree with both of you!princess_sparkle wrote:I would actually enjoy being sick if Dr. Carlisle Cullen was treating me...
I really admire Carlisle for being strong enough to resist the temptation of blood and for using his enhanced senses for the good of mankind. I know he's a fictional character, but I think everyone can learn a lesson from him: be strong enough to do what's right even if you are going against everyone's expectations.
And, as we all know, Carlisle is the the most handsome doctor ever!! Ever, as in for all eternity, hehe.
I mean, even Charlie thinks he's handsome!

When IBM lab director John Wolpert penned a piece for the Harvard Business Review in mid-2002 describing how a new way of operating could allow businesses to realise their hopes for innovative development, doors started to open for him.
He suddenly found himself invited to meetings with governments and CEOs around the world and was eventually lured away from his post at Extreme Blue - IBM's incubator for talent, technology and business concept innovation - to play an integral role in the InnovationXchange (IXC) Network, a pioneering Australian Industry Group initiative that is looking to change the way ideas evolve.
He now heads up a growing network of independent go-betweens or 'intermediaries' whose mission is to enable groundbreaking ideas to transcend competitive corporate boundaries without compromising the source's intellectual property (IP). They link together ideas under development in different companies in a way that has never been tried before and is already showing signs of spreading overseas from its Australian roots.
For all the talk that goes on in the business community about innovation, it remains a somewhat obscure, intangible quality. Everyone agrees that successful businesses have to have it; everyone says in job interviews that they strive for it, but in reality examples of innovation are often impossible to pinpoint.
The evolution of competitive, commercial organisations has fostered an environment that ironically stymies innovation for those that would most benefit from it.
New ideas are jealously guarded for fear of competitors getting wind of a product development, and the need to keep everything under wraps within the confines of an organisation means that outside expertise cannot be used with any degree of certainty.
Behind closed doors
A leading thinker in the area of corporate innovation, Professor Henry Chesbrough, who is executive director for the University of California's Centre for Open Innovation, recently visited Australia as a guest of the IXC and observed that most businesses naturally follow a path of closed innovation. Their R&D departments seek to discover new ways of working within an area and then transfer them into development, production and distribution from within the confines of the company.
He says this is an increasingly limited approach because it makes the plainly incorrect assumption that all the best people in that specific area of development work for your company.
Open innovation aims to makes use of discoveries and intentions from multiple companies, meaning new ideas can flourish more readily. The problem has always been how to facilitate this transfer of knowledge across competitive lines, and this is where Wolpert's band of intermediaries at the IXC come into play.
He says innovation is all about making connections. By putting one thing together mentally with another you create something novel. He uses the classic example of the vegemite and cheese sandwich here and the peanut butter and jelly sandwich in his homeland, the US; two seemingly disparate items were combined and suddenly seemed like the ideal blend.
"The components for innovation are usually nothing new under the sun, today it is how you put things together that makes for innovation. Maybe back in the stone age there were still basic core things to develop but now it is about combining the familiar," he says. "If we all paid attention to each other and all had perfect knowledge of what everyone else has in their companies and in their minds, and there was no good reason to put up borders around a company through things like intellectual property, then there would be no barrier to making connections."
Are you compatible? The idea behind the IXC is that the organisation is a commercially neutral entity (it was set up using funds from Australian Industry Group's Tyree Foundation), which makes connections between its member companies to show them where they have compatible ideas and intentions and then brokers a situation in which they can cooperate.
Intermediaries immerse themselves in the member company and become virtual employees. They work alongside the strategic staff, while at the same time investigating potentially well-matched organisations and brainstorming ideas with their equivalents in other companies.
The initiative is unlike any other project in the world and having just emerged from a pilot phase known as BRIDGE, which focused on the life sciences area, it already boasts an impressive member list including IBM, Procter & Gamble, Johnson & Johnson, Nestle, Sing Tel-Optus and Electrolux among others such as three-quarters of Australia's universities.
Wolpert says it is essential that an organisation like the IXC is run well as a business but is actually a non-profit, non-commercial entity with an air of neutrality about it. It means a totally different approach to innovation than that commonly used when businesses rely on venture capitalists (VCs) to make judgements on the state of development in a wide spread of companies.
"Smaller and large companies have been relying on VCs as their intermediaries, but while they do that job they don't do it universally or as efficiently as you would like because of their nature," says Wolpert.
"They are potent players in the market but absurdly you actually have to have impotent players in that role, you want your trusted intermediary to be incapable of being able to commercially exploit what they know, because otherwise why would you trust them? Therefore we are commercially neutered."
Achieving impotence
The IXC intermediaries have to sign an employment agreement that forbids them to divulge any information about what they are working on or to own property based on member information. All rights to inventions brought about through the exchange must be signed off to the member firms.
In the case of intermediaries leaving the role the information is held in trust for the sole benefit of the members for 17 years. As the IXC is a non-profit, government-backed agency, any intermediary violating the terms of the non-disclosure agreement can be criminally prosecuted.
Wolpert says intermediaries are also paid extremely well to avoid the problems encountered by the CIA, where agents are paid so little that they can be co-opted.
"Could we have a rogue someday? Maybe, but they would be caught fast and the pain they would suffer would be pretty severe. It is not an economic choice you would make unless you were insane," says Wolpert.
While there are currently only four certified intermediaries working, Wolpert is looking to recruit more. He is optimistic that with the scheme emerging from pilot phase the concept will soon reach critical mass, and that once there are intermediaries in around 30 companies (which would require no more than 10 operatives) then the operation's growth could become unstoppable.
Member firms are, according to Wolpert, already advising their peers to sign up and it is moving overseas virally with some of the biggest companies in Europe, the US and Asia expressing a desire to have intermediaries embedded in their firms.
Mutual benefits While understandably shying away from disclosing details of any of the innovations that have so far led to the development of new products, Wolpert explains why he is able to make a significant difference to the operations at IBM, where he serves as an intermediary.
He recalls that in his period as a full time employee of IBM there was a big wall standing in the way of individuals or smaller businesses approaching the company with an idea that could lead to mutually beneficial development. The typical problem comes when a small company executive approaches a business development executive at a multinational with what they say is a great idea to solve a problem or develop a revenue stream.
The small company is immediately afraid of the multinational's lawyers, fearful of showing the details of their idea without a watertight non-disclosure agreement to prevent the big company stealing their idea. But on the converse side, the big company cannot sign an agreement guaranteeing not to come out with a similar product without knowing the details because they may already be working on a parallel project in another part of the world without knowing it.
In these situations the benefit of intermediaries is self-evident; the relevant knowledge and information from both sides is assessed by the intermediaries with the findings going into what Wolpert terms the 'cone of silence', where it is only accessible by the intermediaries.
If there is a good match between the two sides the project can develop, if there are incompatibilities or the development wouldn't help either party, then both sides can walk away without having divulged their intellectual property to anyone that can use it.
Corporate confessors
With the IXC looking to recruit intermediaries, it becomes a new career path that could interest seasoned executives looking for a different direction. There are two levels of intermediary; senior intermediaries, or cluster leaders, and field intermediaries who are placed in the member companies day-to-day to observe and investigate.
Laughing at the suggestion it sounds like he is recruiting for a corporate secret service, he says intermediaries are more like an order of secular commercial clergy than spies. Once the intermediary has become accepted in the organisation he says they find people within the organisation who have never really engaged their management team before will pull them aside after a meeting or invite them out to lunch to discuss their Big Idea in private.
"We are probably the safest person in an organisation for someone to approach with an idea," says Wolpert. "As an intermediary I become almost like a corporate priest. We have a vow of silence and are paid to listen to people no matter how crazy their idea may seem, every time they have one. We are only going to discuss it with other intermediaries so people don't have to worry that their idea may not work out and their reputation will suffer. So the negative aspects of corporate culture that inhibit innovation get chipped away."
He says those thinking that work as an intermediary may represent a nice change of career should think about the way their mind works in a professional environment. He observes that most people are good problem solvers but the skill he really looks for in an intermediary is a kind of 'problem creator'. They need to be supremely good at synthetic thinking, putting together extraneous ideas that may not seem logical to the casual observer but form a potential business connection.
It is a position that could actually be carried out by an executive who wanted to cut back on their working hours and work in a role for fewer days a week.
Excellent diplomacy skills are also essential, with "the need to build deep relationships of trust with the members in order to generate ongoing understanding of the business's strategic intentions and emerging technology project," appearing as the first performance requirement specified in the IXC job description.
"The main driver in this as a career is that it is damn fun," says Wolpert. "Field intermediaries are people that want to get access to all sorts of knowledge and explore new potential in their field of expertise that no one else is aware of ... I had to give up my two golden retrievers to move over here to do this and it was one of the most gut-wrenching decisions of my life, but I made the sacrifice because this is only happening here and I think it is going to pay off."
The technology behind innovationxchange
Wolpert says that with the InnovationXchange (IXC) on the crest of a wave, it is actively looking for technical people to work on building a unique infrastructure that will need to rival the most complex information systems in the world.
If the extrapolation occurs as expected, the IXC will have intermediaries generating highly confidential, competitively sensitive information in organisations all around the world. It will have to securely shuttle this priceless information between many companies into a repository that can be updated, analysed by all the intermediaries and kept strictly secure from anyone without the appropriate sign offs outside the IXC's 'cone of silence.'
"When you take two seconds to think about what is required to make this work on an IT basis it gets really daunting," admits Wolpert. "We are going to have to have the best people in the world working at this over time, and I mean people that built things for the CIA, for hugely complex organisations, because nobody really has this kind of requirement and it is an exciting challenge."

SCHLADMING, Austria (AP) -- Olympic champion Maria Hoefl-Riesch of Germany bounced back from a disappointing World Cup season to win the super-combined at the skiing world championships on Friday.
Hoefl-Riesch was fourth after the downhill portion before posting the second-fastest time in the slalom to finish in 2 minutes, 39.92 seconds. She beat Tina Maze of Slovenia by 0.46.
Former overall champion Nicole Hosp was fastest in the slalom and was one second behind in third to earn Austria its first medal at its home worlds.
"I can't believe it," Hoefl-Riesch said. "The last couple of weeks have not been easy. I had only two podiums this entire season so I wasn't coming here as a favorite. My goal was to win any medal, the color didn't matter to me. Incredible, it is gold."
Hoefl-Riesch appeared to enjoy a clean slalom run, but she said it wasn't.
"I am surprised as my slalom didn't feel great," she said after her sixth career medal from major championships. "I was a bit too conservative. I didn't finish my last two slaloms on the World Cup, so that made me cautious."
Maze had shared the lead after the first run with Austria's Anna Fenninger, who straddled a gate in the slalom. Lara Gut of Switzerland, who had the same downhill time as Hoefl-Riesch, also failed to finish.
"A classic mistake," said defending champion Fenninger, who was 1-2 with Maze at the worlds two years ago. "I don't train a lot of slalom, so timing was always going to be difficult."
After a freezing night with clear skies and temperatures sinking to minus-15 (5 F), the course was harder and icier compared to the downhill training runs.
Racers had to deal with a rougher and bumpier surface, making the turning sections of the course tougher to master.
Maze, who holds an 888-point lead in the overall World Cup standings over Hoefl-Riesch, the 2011 winner, lost speed after an early mistake in her slalom, which was set by her coach Livio Magoni.
The Slovenian still earned her second medal of the worlds after taking gold in Tuesday's super-G.
"I am not satisfied with my slalom run," Maze said. "I held back and showed too much respect. My downhill was pretty good though. Second place and a silver medal is a super result."
Maze won the only World Cup super-combined this season in December and started as a clear favorite for the world title.
"I felt a lot of pressure at the start. I tried to stay calm but that wasn't easy," Maze said. "People keep asking me about the possibility of winning five medals at the world championships. That door is still open and I won't close it."
Hosp earned her fifth medal in total at world championships, but her first since 2007, the same year she won the overall title.
After years of struggling with injuries, the Austrian said she finally felt as if her best form was back.
"I am glad I finally had a good downhill again, I finally skied like I used to do," Hosp said. "My slalom was excellent, that makes me really happy. I am so happy it worked out great. I had some tough times in recent years. And now I have a medal."
Hosp said winning Austria's first silverware at the worlds will take pressure off the team, which failed to medal in either the women's or the men's super-G.
"It was really hard for us with no medals after two races," Hosp said. "The whole nation is watching these races."
Lindsey Vonn won the World Cup super-combined title for the past three seasons, but the American was out for the season after injuring her right knee in a crash at Tuesday's super-G.
Teammate Julia Mancuso, runner-up to Hoefl-Riesch in the 2010 Olympic race, finished eighth, 3.33 seconds off the winning time.
"That was a little disappointing. I was ready to have a good run," Mancuso said. "I still have that mentality that I want to try and win, so maybe I'm pushing it too hard."
Mancuso was 19th after the downhill, but had the seventh-fastest slalom.
Sofia Goggia of Italy was seventh, 2.77 off the lead, to score another surprising result, three days after coming in fourth in the super-G.
The 20-year-old Goggia has competed in only four World Cup races - all giant slaloms in which she failed to qualify for a second run. The Italian, however, has won four races, including a super-combined, on the lower-tier Europa Cup circuit.
The men's downhill is next on Saturday.
