A Closer Look At The Percutaneous Calcaneal Displacement Osteotomy
Podiatric surgeons commonly perform an extraarticular calcaneal osteotomy on hindfoot deformities of the foot and ankle.1 One would typically perform this powerful osteotomy in conjunction with other procedures. Complications with the percutaneous calcaneal displacement osteotomy are rare.2-4 This is in contrast to the customary lateral approach of a calcaneal osteotomy as the surgeon may see complications that include wound dehiscence, sural nerve damage, sural neuritis, delayed union, non-union, infection and invasion of the medial neurovascular structures.2-6 Due to the thin soft tissue layer on the lateral aspect of the calcaneus, wound dehiscence is a common problem one encounters when performing the traditional lateral approach to the calcaneal osteotomy. Large incisions on the lateral aspect of the calcaneus can cause fibrosis in this area, leading to nerve symptoms. When performing this osteotomy open, the surgeon must be cautious about exiting the medial aspect of the calcaneus due to the neurovascular structures.6-7 When it comes to the percutaneous calcaneal displacement osteotomy technique, one would perform this procedure through four small stab incisions. The technique avoids major neurovascular structures. I have successfully completed more than 100 percutaneous calcaneal displacement osteotomies since the year 2000. With this procedure, I have been able to achieve radiographic evidence of osseous healing, minimize wound problems, avoid invading the neurovascular structures and provide pleasing cosmetic results to the surgical site. What Does The Research Reveal? Numerous authors have described the medial displacement osteotomy for the treatment of conditions such as calcaneal valgus deformities, posterior tibial tendon dysfunction and flexible flatfoot deformities with good results reported for adults and children.1-4,8-20 Posterior tibial tendon dysfunction occurs when the adult-acquired flatfoot becomes evident with the heel in a valgus position, the flattening of the medial longitudinal arch and forefoot abduction.14,16,21 Surgeons are currently using calcaneal osteotomies in combination with various ancillary procedures to treat posterior tibial tendon dysfunction.2,3,8-10,12-17,21-31 Flexible flatfoot is one of the most common orthopedic problems among children.17,18 Torosian, et. al., found that the medial slide calcaneal osteotomy is a simple and effective treatment for hindfoot valgus.19 When one detects valgus malalignment, medializing the calcaneus provides satisfactory outcomes.22 In advanced stages of the deformity, the medial column may be affected. Accordingly, there is a need for tendon transfers or joint fusions (in adults), and these are effective treatments when one combines them with the medial calcaneal displacement osteotomy.22 Mann and Myerson both describe a posterior calcaneal osteotomy in which one moves the posterior aspect of the calcaneus medially.3,9,26-28 Surgeons would frequently perform this type of osteotomy in conjunction with other bony or soft tissue procedures. Mann describes the foot as a tripod.3,9 The three legs consist of the first metatarsal head, the fifth metatarsal head and the calcaneus. If too much heel valgus is present, the tripod does not function properly and the medial aspect of the foot sags. Performing the posterior medial calcaneal displacement osteotomy places the calcaneus back into its correct position.3,9 One may often see a loss of hindfoot height after a calcaneal fracture.22 Performing the posterior calcaneal osteotomy enables the surgeon to shift the posterior aspect of the calcaneus plantarly to restore the height of the hindfoot.22 Authors have also reported that the posterior calcaneal slide osteotomy can correct abnormal heel alignment that is in varus.22,32 The objective of the osteotomy is to reposition the Achilles tendon, plantar fascia and the bone more laterally. The aforementioned deformities are indications for the open posterior calcaneal displacement osteotomy. These are the same indications for the percutaneous calcaneal displacement osteotomy. One may perform the percutaneous calcaneal displacement osteotomy on any patient who would experience a benefit from the traditional open calcaneal displacement osteotomy.

Parody: Apple patents Letters
When Apple officially scored the design patent for the virtual page turn, it opened up the flood gates for Internet comedians to weigh in on what common, everyday concept the company would set its sights on next. As The Atlantic reports, Washington Post book critic Ron Charles took this idea to the next level, creating a parody video where Apple reveals its latest patent acquisition: Letters.
That's right, according to the humorous video clip, the text you are currently reading is now the property of the Cupertino tech giant. We're not sure when we'll get our cease and desist notice, but whenever it arrives, you can expect to see a lot more hand-drawn representations of news stories.

Attributed to Arretium in Etruria - Statement Of Significance:
- Robinson attibutes coins, including this type, bearing the Etruscan letter F as a mint mark, to the important ciy of Arretium. Arretium (modern Arezzo) was the most north-eastern city in Etruria and had been under Roman influence from the 3rd century BC. This city was a centre of anti-Roman tension for a couple of years after 209 BC when it still seemed possible that Hannibal would win the Second Punic War; the Romans needed to move their Apulian army of two legions to the city. This coin, with its traditional Etruscan design may have been issued with intent to influence people against Rome. Later in the war, when Roman victory bacame clear, the city returned to full support of Rome.

Previous Collection: | Eugene von Guerard, Victoria, Australia, pre 1880 Listed in Eugene von Guerard's catalogue, vol.1, p.5. The coin was purchased by Eugene von Guerard for 3 shillings 6 pence from von Haart of New Zealand, before 1880. According to the catalogue von Haart purchased it at Constantina Algusia. The coin became misplaced in the 19th century and was rediscovered in an NGV safe during McArthur Bequest incorporation, about 1904. It was given the origin number 2 in the Chitty list. Incorrectly listed twice in the first NGV coin collection stock book due to a mis-reading of the von Guerrard catalogue. |

Hey everyone, I have a simple question.
How can I find a formula for the following sequences (like in the form ((n+1)n)/2 etc):
You can find formulae by trying different options, set-ups, and techniques. In other words, use intelligent guessing.
0 + 0 + 1 = 1
0 + 1 + 1 = 2
1 + 1 + 2 = 4
1 + 2 + 4 = 7
...and so forth.
Thanks stapel, I looked at that website and keep trying my second sequence with a_(n-1), a_(n-2), a_(n+1), a_(n+2), etc and other techniques on that site but can't seem to find the pattern. That 19 is a problem for me! I want to know what number comes after 30, but I just can't get it. Anyone have any thoughts?
Yes, this question has been in the lecture notes for a long time to my knowledge. I believe how it it stated is correct. I can't do it so that is why I am asking for some expert help. It might be a trick question or something. If others think that the sequence 2,1,3,4,7,11,19,30 has a typo in it and therefore finding the next term can't be done then o.k.
Reason I mentionned the start of 2,1,3 may be really 1,2,3 is this sequence
which seems to be the one you're after:
3,4,7,11,19,30 - OEIS Search Results
If you ask me, it's kind of something "silly".
I think these questions in general are rather silly since there are infinitely many formulae we could provide for any finite sequence.
That said, sometimes pattern searching can be fun, and it's good to be able to recognize common sequences like 0, 1, 4, 9, 25, 36, ..

Kukla's Korner Hockey
We Need Answers

from Tony Gallagher of the Vancouver Province,
Why would anyone who actually follows the sport continue to pay for season tickets in a building that isn't sold out when the owner is so ruthlessly savaging the entertainment value for that customer? Some teams do it by mistake, but this is being done simply to cut payroll.
This almost certainly means the Predators will lose revenue this season. If they do, they will have done so intentionally, and every single player in the NHL will suffer when it comes time to calculate both the final escrow payment on this coming season's paycheque and in the calculation of next season's cap.
What kind of partnership do you have when your partner takes unilateral action that will further his own financial aims, whatever they might be, by taking money out of your pocket without the least consultation or input from you?

The ongoing collapse of the stock market and the loss of hundreds of billions of dollars managed by Wall Street investment banks illustrate the pitfalls and danger of free market capitalism facing the entire working population of the United States.
1.The near bankruptcy of Social Security The attempt by the White House and leading Republican and Democrat congresspersons as recently as 3 years ago to 'privatize' Social Security – essentially turning over the management and investment of trillions of dollars in Social Security funds to Wall Street – with the argument that private investors would earn more, would have led to the bankruptcy of the entire Social Security fund. Privatization would have allowed the major private investment banks to speculate and leverage even riskier financial instruments with the disastrous results we are witnessing today. While private pension funds go belly up – Social Security continues. It is the private pensions, which have gone bankrupt – not the publicly managed Social Security fund, contrary to the experts and critics of Social Security. Clearly the current private debacle argues for public control and management of pension programs.
2.All the major private pension funds for public and private employees, including TIAA CREF, CALPERS and labor union pensions have lost anywhere between 23% to 30% since January and show negative growth over the past 5 years. Clearly linking pension funds to the stock market has severely reduced the living standards of retirees, forcing many to remain in the labor force into their seventies and beyond or to sink into poverty. Pensions linked to publicly funded productive activity would avoid the losses and risks embedded in investing in the stock market.
3.The bipartisan strategic decisions to convert the US into a 'service' economy as opposed to an advanced and diversified manufacturing economy is the root cause of the collapse of the US financial system and the emerging long-term recession. From the 1960s onward, the political elite adopted policies that promoted finance, real estate and insurance, the so-called FIRE sectors which raised rents, redirected subsidies, provided tax concessions and subsidies, and destroyed and displaced industry. The re-conversion of the FIRE economy back to a balanced manufacturing economy and welfare state, essential for reversing the collapse of the US economy, will require a major political upheaval.
4.The massive flight of capital from productive sectors to FIRE was accompanied by the huge surge of capital overseas, making the domestic economy over dependent on 'services', particularly volatile and risky 'financial services' and highly indebted consumers. The conversion of the US from a diversified economy to a 'FIRE' monoculture increased the probability of a general collapse if and when the financial/real estate market went under. Recovery and sustained growth can only occur with the return of a diversified economy, the retention of capital from overseas flight and large-scale, long-term public investment and incentives for the productive and social service sectors.
5.The pursuit of military-driven empire building at the expense of joint ventures and reciprocal trade agreements with countries with expanding markets, strategic energy sources and large populations and markets, created enormous budget and trade deficits and alienated potential sources of markets and strategic commodities. Trillion dollar military expenditures in pursuit of prolonged, costly colonial wars (without end), diverted funds from the application of technological advances and high-end manufacturing, which would have lowered costs and increased market competition. Equally important, by shifting from market-driven domestic expansion to overseas military-driven conquest, the entire axis of economic power shifted from industrial to financial capital. Finance capital essential to funding government budget deficits incurred through military expenditures, grew in influence – Wall Street replaced the steel-belt as the axes of power in Washington.
6.The ascendancy of militarism and financial capital facilitated the increase of influence of a virulent power configuration promoting the regional hegemonic interests of a colonial-militarist state specifically, a previously marginal political lobby – the pro-Israel-Zionist power configuration (ZPC). The military-driven empire builders saw in the ZPC a strategic ally in pursuit of their global conquests; the ZPC saw an open door to high office and multiple opportunities to promote Israel's expansionist agenda through their influence in Congressional Committees, electoral campaigns and direct White House appointments. The ZPC surge to the top echelon of power was aided and abetted by the increase of financial support they received by members in strategic positions in the most lucrative financial institutions. The ZPC was an economic beneficiary of the speculative bubble: it was the massive infusion of financial contributions that allowed the ZPC to vastly expand the number of full-time functionaries, influence peddlers and electoral contributors that magnified their power – especially in promoting US Middle East wars, lopsided free trade agreements (in favor of Israel) and unquestioned backing of Israeli aggression against Lebanon, Syria and Palestine. Economic recovery is contingent on ending budget busting military imperialism. That will not happen unless there is a wholesale replacement of the political elite nurtured on the metaphysics of military-based global power.
No economic recovery is possible now or in the foreseeable future as long as the US Congress and executives provide trillion dollar bailouts to Wall Street's insolvent speculators, bankroll 700 billion dollar budgets of ever expanding war spending and while Zionist power brokers dictate US Mideast policies.
The lessons of the past tell us a great deal about what paths we should and shouldn't take.
Social Security still exists precisely because the US public rebelled and defeated its proposed handover to Wall Street and it remained a publicly run program. The financial system collapsed because the US economy 'specialized' in a single crop – finance – at the expanse of a diversified productive economy. The political system is totally discredited because it is run by a failed political elite which blatantly represents and acts on behalf of a few thousand financial oligarchs; a couple hundred militarist oligarchs and a few dozen zealous Zionist organizations.
The 'power elite' is only as powerful as it is able to manipulate, intimidate and beguile three hundred million plus US citizens into thinking that they are indispensable to their lives. The overwhelming popular rejection of the privatization of social security and the Wall Street bailout suggests that the ruling oligarchy is not invincible.

Diamond Reports Financial Results For First Quarter Of Fiscal 2013
- Net sales in the fiscal 2013 first quarter were $258.5 million, a decrease of 10.1% from the prior year.
- Gross margin was 22.7 percent in the fiscal 2013 first quarter, compared to 21.3 percent in the first quarter of fiscal 2012.
- GAAP net loss in the fiscal 2013 first quarter was $10.7 million, compared to net income of $10.8 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2012.
- Adjusted EBITDA in the first quarter fiscal 2013 was $31.0 million, compared to $29.8 million in the first quarter fiscal 2012.
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 17, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Diamond Foods, Inc. (Nasdaq:DMND) ("Diamond") today reported financial results for its fiscal 2013 first quarter.
In the first quarter of fiscal 2013, Diamond's GAAP net loss was $10.7 million and GAAP diluted net loss per share was $0.49. Diamond incurred selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") charges of $11.8 million primarily for audit committee investigation, restatement-related expenses, consulting fees, retention, and severance. The Company also incurred a $7.5 million charge related to a change in the fair value of the Oaktree warrant liability. Excluding these charges, Diamond's non-GAAP net income declined 68.0 percent from the first quarter of fiscal 2012 to $5.2 million, and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share declined 66.2 percent from the first quarter of fiscal 2012 to $0.24.
"Our first quarter results reflect some progress against our new brand strategies, but we continue to face headwinds with respect to walnut supply and a highly leveraged balance sheet," said Diamond's Chief Executive Officer Brian J. Driscoll. "Reduced promotional spending on our snack brands and a shift in the timing of advertising spending to later in the year were the largest contributors to improvement in our margins in the first quarter."
Financial Review Net sales during the quarter decreased by 10.1 percent to $258.5 million compared to the same quarter of the prior year. Total retail net sales declined 4.1 percent to $244.8 million and snack net sales declined 2.0 percent year over year to $154.1 million in the quarter, driven by declines in Emerald and to a lesser extent, Kettle, offset by an increase in Pop Secret sales. Non-retail net sales totaled $13.7 million for the quarter compared to $32.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2012. The decrease in non-retail sales was mainly due to a lower supply of walnuts.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Let's be clear here...Submitted by Gate Keeper (not verified) on Wed, 05/01/2013 - 12:00pm.
Let's be clear here before someone starts. There is no difference between a K-9 and a patrolman, both are law enforcement officers and the dog (pitbull) deserved to be put down for attacking a city policeman. Hope our officer was not injured. »

Most Nicaraguans get by on less than a dollar a day. Fifty percent of the population lives below the poverty line, one of the highest numbers in the Western Hemisphere.
The political situation is as corrupt as ever. Convicted ex-President Arnoldo Alemán, who is serving a twenty-year sentence at his private ranch, continues to lord over the Constitutional Liberal Party. Daniel Ortega, who invoked congressional immunity from prosecution when his stepdaughter accused him of sexually abusing her, continues to lead the Sandinistas.
Yet as my trip came to an end, I found myself wishing I would have come home sooner. I had neglected my roots for far too long. I envied my cousins because they had something I was missing in Miami: a profound understanding of and love for Nicaragua's culture and traditions.
Since my return, part of me wants to retire there, die there to leave behind forever the grind of Miami. I have found myself fantasizing about selling my townhouse and using the money to buy an oceanside hacienda in San Juan del Sur and open an English-language school. Sure, it sounds like wishful dreaming. But that's what happens when you visit a magical place like home.
After nearly three decades of being ambivalent about my birthplace, I am more than proud to repeat a line familiar to all Nicas: Soy nicaragüense por la gracia de dios.

5 Apps To Make Your Taxes Easier
Whatever did people do before they could submit their taxes by cell phone?
We're not sure, but we know it wasn't pretty. No matter how many times we go through it, tax season is still one of the most dreaded times of the year (even for us). We're not sure if it's the math, or the paperwork, or the seemingly interminable wait to see if you owe or not. Probably all of the above, along with the lurking reminder that the government is slowly eating away at your soul—we mean, your earnings.
That said, it's 2011. And we have cell phones. Which means we have apps. Which make our lives so much better, and not only because we can sling 9 birds at pigs in under 10 seconds. We hunted to see if we could find the most buzzed-about tax apps to help you power through this roughest of financial seasons.
Taxes—they will never be great. But with these apps walking you through the process, they can be a little better.
Organize Your Receipts.
How it Works: Snap photos of your receipts via their app (you can also mail them in), and ShoeBoxed will upload your receipts to their easy online interface. From there, you can quickly digitally sort your paper receipts.
We Like: The idea that we can quickly snap a pic and toss our receipts instead of collecting them throughout the year. Their interface makes sorting easy, and tax season will involve less shuffling through all those little bits of paper that tend to get lost.
We Don't Like: The $10 to $50 per month fee. It's only worth it unless you have a lot of receipts throughout the year, i.e. if you own a small business. The free version only allows you 5 receipt pics, but you can go old school and scan an unlimited number.
Get In The Mood.
Tax Central
How it Works: This tax priming app from H&R Block will help you brush up on your tax terms and get your documents in order. There is a checklist for your forms, a glossary of tax terms, tax Q&A, and a tax trivia quiz which is an ideal procrastination tool if we've seen any.
We Like: The glossary of terms, if it were possible to like a glossary of tax terms. Finance nerds may like the slightly addictive tax quiz–and the rest of us will be all the more motivated to do our taxes after a few questions about what year the income tax was introduced.
We Don't Like: The app's ability to estimate your refund, since we prefer the interface of TaxCaster (profiled below) for that.
Get The Payoff Before You Start.
How It Works: Punch your numbers into this app, and it will quickly give you a ballpark estimate to the big question–whether you'll owe or get a refund, and how much. It's a nice way to get an idea of the outcome before diving in.
We Like: That we don't have to plod through our taxes for hours without a sense of where we're headed. Use this app when you've settled down with your tax documents and are ready to get started, because you'll need your paperwork to fill in some basic numbers.
We Don't Like: Note that when the app shows an on/off switch, it actually wants a yes/no answer to a question. Answer carefully because that can largely affect the accuracy of your estimate.
Filing The Damn Thing.
TurboTax SnapTax
Use It For: Taking a photo of your W-2 on your iPhone or Android to file. No joke. You can file with the IRS from your cell phone.
We Like: It imports info pretty accurately; in a test, it misread just one of the numbers on our W-2, confusing a 3 for a 5 (we were able to fix it manually). You can now file your taxes from the backseat of a cab or at a cafe–but we just like the fact that it's pretty damn cool to can tell our friends we filed via our phones. Just make sure you review all imported data with eagle eyes.
We Don't Like: SnapTax only works for people with simple tax returns. So, you can't use it if you made more than $80,000 in 2010 ($100,000 if you're married), own a home or have kids, sold stocks in 2010, or need to itemize your deductions. The app is free to download but costs $15 when you file. If you want to use it, use it now, since the price is expected to go up to $20 after March 25.
Check On That Refund.
Use It For: This IRS app lets you check on the status of your tax refund after you've filed.
We Like: The happy feeling we get when we know that our much-anticipated refund is on its way.
We Don't Like: The app is a little cheesy on the eyes. There are no special notifications for your refund, just the simple ability to check back in whenever you want for its current status.
Most importantly, though, IRS2Go comes with a link to follow the IRS on Twitter, because who could be more interesting to follow?

Traditional forest management of European beech forests consists of large-scale felling, leaving few remaining trees to produce the next generation. This may have significantly disturbed the genetic and ecophysiological diversity as, in general, a higher diversity is assumed to be very important for the adjustment to environmental changes. As a result of the project, guidelines will be made available through the integration of genetic and ecophysiological results by the modelling and development of alternative management scenarios. End-users involved in the project will evaluate the guidelines for economic and practical implications in their field of forest management.
Objectives DynaBeech aims to assess the impacts of previous silvicultural regimes on genetic and ecophysiological diversity within beech forests in Europe. It will provide guidelines for both the optimisation of the adaptive potential and the in situ conservation of the diversity of beech forests through appropriate silvicultural regimes. Dynabeech aims to contribute to Key Action 5.3.1. by:1) providing tools for evaluating biodiversity 2) understanding the functioning and diversity of forest ecosystems 3) assessing the interactions with forestry activities.
ResultsThe work of the project was divided into four sections: Ecology, Genetics, Modelling, and Forest management. The ecological measurements and genetic diversity studies were performed on five sites in five countries, each consisting of two plots with different intensities of forest management. Three sites were studied more intensely. The French, Austrian and German sites were used for plant performance and ecophysiological experiments. In the French and Austrian sites gene flow was studied and phenological observations were carried out. At these locations the most natural beech forests found in Europe were compared to plots with a long history of traditional forest management. In addition, half-sib families (a French population) were used to estimate heritability for adaptive traits and a full-sib family (Italian population) were used for a QTL search. Both populations were already established before the DynaBeech project started. The modelling section integrated the information obtained in the ecological and genetic sections in a spatial explicit model that included gene flow, selection and tree growth and could evaluate forest management options required for the forest management section. In the latter section the results and conclusions of the ecological, genetic and modelling sections were evaluated for their usefulness by end-users representing different forest sectors. This resulted in the technical guidelines and recommendations to fulfill the objectives of the project.

On Wednesday, the latest full-length trailer Avengers: Age of Ultron was unleashed. The all-new footage focuses on The Avengers team being reunited, James Spader's Ultron causing non-stop havoc, and even Marvel favorite, Vision, was revealed for the very first time.
Avengers: Age of Ultron director, Joss Whedon, recently claimed that the movie was a nightmare to shoot. With a collection of high-end media outlets getting exclusive access to set of movie, we thought it was time to take a look at what it really took to make what Disney and Marvel both hope becomes the highest grossing superhero movie of all-time, de-throning it's predecessor, Marvel's The Avengers. Go behind-the-scenes of the new film with all-new videos below.
It's here! Watch the new Marvel's Avengers: Age of Ultron trailer!
Entertainment Tonight has aired a preview of Avengers: Age of Ultron featuring some new footage from the hotly-anticipated sequel (likely from Thursday's brand new trailer), as well as interviews with the cast and crew, and you can check it out below…
Robert Downey Jr. has just announced a contest that could see you and a friend win a trip to LA for the world premiere of the Marvel sequel, where Tony Stark himself will "awesome the crap out of you". See the video for the details:
By heading over to Omaze.com and donating $10 to benefit children's hospice center Julia's House, you become eligible to win a trip to LA for the world premiere of Avengers: Age Of Ultron. But that's not all: You and a pal also get to hang out with Robert Downey Jr. for a Tony Stark-like day of living the high life.
There'll be breakfast at Randy's Donuts (from Iron Man 2), indoor skydiving, a helicopter ride over the Hollywood sign and a custom gown or tux fitting, before heading off to the red carpet.
HTC introduced a new advert narrated by Robert Downey Jr. for their new smartphone HTC One M9 at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain. Check out the video below!
Teasing a 'big announcement' coming in eight days, Robert Downey Jr. has just unveiled the first of many Avengers: Age of Ultron character posters now featuring his Armored Avenger. Check it out!
You've been good so here's a new @IronMan poster from @Avengers #AgeOfUltron. And on the DL, big announcement in 8 days… #getexcited
A new, official one-sheet poster for Avengers: Age of Ultron is finally here, and the image is packed with lots of characters and lots of potential spoilers for the flick.
The poster, first revealed in a tweet from the official "Avengers" account, features faces both familiar and new to the franchise. Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.) jostles for pole position with Captain America (Chris Evans), foreshadowing their forthcoming conflict that will fuel the third "Captain America" movie. The Hulk (Mark Ruffalo) looks angrier than usual, while Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) makes a cameo. And newcomers Quicksilver (Aaron Taylor-Johnson) and Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen) lurk in the background.
'You can't do the same thing, only smaller, not as cool.'
You could, of course, call the Marvel Cinematic Universe the House That RDJ Built. Without Robert Downey Jr. blazing a trail as Tony Stark in the original Iron Man back in 2008, chances are the MCU would have spluttered and died long before Avengers: Age Of Ultron was a glint in Joss Whedon's eye. So it makes sense that the second Avengers movie revolves around Stark, with Tony's well-intentioned plan to ease the pressure on his super-friends by creating Ultron, a global AI police force, going somewhat awry. When the virtually unstoppable Ultron becomes self-aware and declares humanity personae non grata, it's up to a guilt-ridden Tony to go toe-to-toe with his deranged creation. The effect this will have on the generally happy-go-lucky Stark will be fascinating, given that Downey is about to start work on Captain America: Civil War, which will pit the billionaire genius playboy philanthropist against Chris Evans' walking flag, Steve Rogers. Is Tony about to become the villain?
We spoke to Downey on the phone in early January, and started off by asking about his working relationship with the man behind Ultron's mo-cap mask, James Spader.
Last time we spoke, on set, you hadn't yet worked with your old pal James Spader on this movie. What was that experience like?
He could have done it the easy way and instead he said, 'No, if I'm gonna do this, I want to have the experience'. He's got his big hit show (The Blacklist) and I feel that he just wanted a real counterpoint to that, wanted to really dive into doing something that can be extremely tough and thankless. And yet that voice and that personality and what he invested in this iconic villain I thought was kinda great, but it was also kinda silly. I know him from literally my first movie in Los Angeles, Tough Turf, and from Less Than Zero, and he's always been reclusive. So I could not speak to him for a decade, but he's one of those guys who you pick up the phone he goes, (affects pretty good Spader voice) "Anyway, Bobby, true romantic love is… well, I'm in it. Were you napping? Do you mind if I sit down?" He's just Jimmy. He's coming in and doing this jazzy Shakespearean thing, and you believe that somebody that has that much personality and that much wit and that much emotive capability is a threat. That's the important thing.
Last night, one of the most touching tributes was paid to former BAFTA president and filmmaker Lord Richard Attenborough, who died last year, and was remembered with tributes from the Prince William, Duke of Cambridge and Robert Downey Jr. Downey Jr., who starred in Attenborough's movie Chaplin, said: 'I'm sad. I miss you Dickie.'
I've updated the gallery with new still (featuring Iron Man's Hulkbuster) and promotional images from Avengers: Age of Ultron. Take a look!

ARIES (March 21 – April 20)
Those pets that are born under the sign of Aries may now be ready for a change and could even stop eating their favorite treat. They could also be more willing to try something new, such as a new food or treat. Even taking their medicine will be easier! Since they are so open to experiencing new things, now would be a good time to give them a bath, especially if your Aries pet is a Cat.
TAURUS (April 21 – May 21)
Pets that are born under the sign of Taurus are going to come across to their owners as a bit grumpy and irritable. This is due to the fact that the alignment of the planets in March is actually encouraging these Taurean pets to define their role within their family. So, it is best if you give your pet a job to do instead. Help them define their family role.
GEMINI (May 22 – June 21)
This month sees Gemini pets becoming very bold with an attitude of 'What is Yours is Actually Mine'. Watch out for sneaky cat paws trying to steal your food right off of your plate, and warm dog bodies taking up the whole couch! But don't despair; this attitude will dissipate by month's end.
CANCER (June 22 – July 23)
Do you have an indoor cat? If so, this month they may appear to have cabin fever. Your dog may even prefer to spend as much time outside as possible, refusing to come in when you call him. The best way to help your pets through this month is to provide them with extra exercise and playtime to help them feel healthy and happy.
LEO (July 24 – August 23)
Your Leo pet will be most affected by the moon's cycle this month and will appear more lustful than ever. You can try to keep your pet's mind out of the gutter by giving them additional exercise or playtime. Buying them a new toy might also do the trick.
VIRGO (August 24 – September 23)
Virgo pets will become much more needy this month and will do everything that they can to get as much as attention from you as possible. Give in to their needs and lavish them with attention by brushing them and pampering them. Your Virgo pet will return the favor and give you many wet doggy kisses in return.
LIBRA (September 24 – October 23)
Although it will appear in March as if Libra pets are on some kind of mission and will play much harder than usual, they will also be more prone to getting run down. Immediately treat a sneeze as if it were a cold.
SCORPIO (October 24 – November 22)
Scorpio pets love to play and fool around this March. Humor them by giving them lots of tummy rubs and tickling them. This is a good time to teach a new trick to your old dog!
SAGITTARIUS (November 23 – December 22)
This is the perfect time to buy your Sagittarius pet a new bed, blanket or even a new food dish. Perhaps shopping for a new sweater for your dog would be a fun activity to do together? You certainly won't see your cat straying from home until the planets realign next month.
CAPRICORN (December 23 – January 20)
In March your Capricorn pet may cause a lot of stress for you. Your Capricorn pet will be rather feisty this month and will try to see just how far they can go before pushing your buttons too far. Screaming at your pet will not change their behavior. Instead give them something constructive to do or give them a new toy to chew on or bat around.
AQUARIUS (January 21 – February 19)
Aquarius pets will have an unending appetite this month and will seem as if they are constantly hungry. This is due to a growth spurt that they will experience this month. The best way to deal with this is to feed your pet smaller food portions more frequently throughout the day. This will help to keep their weight in check as well.
PISCES (February 20 – March 20)
This the month that the Pisces pet needs to be the center of attention. So help them out by teaching them new tricks and lavish them with praise. This is their month to shine in the limelight; all they want is to know that they are your most beloved pet in the whole world.

Pill taken before, after sex may prevent HIV, study finds
An HIV prevention pill taken by gay men before and after sex reduced the risk of virus transmission by 86 percent, according to the results of a clinical trial released Tuesday.
An infection is the detrimental colonization of a host organism by a foreign species. In an infection, the infecting organism seeks to utilize the host's resources to multiply, usually at the expense of the host. The infecting organism, or pathogen, interferes with the normal functioning of the host and can lead to chronic wounds, gangrene, loss of an infected limb, and even death. The host's response to infection is inflammation. Colloquially, a pathogen is usually considered a microscopic organism though the definition is broader, including parasites, fungi, viruses, prions, and viroids. A symbiosis between parasite and host, whereby the relationship is beneficial for the former but detrimental to the latter, is characterised as parasitism. The branch of medicine that focuses on infections and pathogens is infectious disease. "When infection attacks the body, anti-infective drugs can help turn the tide of battle. Four types of anti-infective drugs exist: antibacterial, antiviral, antitubercular, and antifungal. A secondary infection is an infection that occurs during or following treatment of another already existing primary infection.

Bob Bridges
MILTON — Much to the board of selectmen's surprise, Selectman Bob Bridges announced his resignation during the nonpublic session of the July 21 selectmen meeting. His resignation is effective immediately.Town Administrator Liz Dionne said his sudden announcement was not expected."It was a total surprise," she said. "I was sad to hear it."Bridges, taking a break from haying to speak to the Rochester Times this week, said, "I am just too busy around the farm. The selectman's job is very time consuming, and I can't mix the two."Bridges said he had very much enjoyed his two and a half years on the board, but he and his wife, Elizabeth, are also now getting ready for fair season around the state."We go to them all," he said." Dionne said Bridges, who acted as the fire department liaison, was involved with many of the town departments, and she praised his great ideas and proposals, and the ability to accomplish a variety of tasks. One of the more notable items Dionne cited was his involvement with the new netting that surrounds the town's baseball field.
He served on the Recreation Commission as the selectmen's representative."He just did so much for all the departments," Dionne said. "His shoes are going to be hard to fill."Bridges' fellow selectmen had nothing but praise for him and expressed sadness to see him go."We were all kind of surprised when that happened at the meeting," said Selectman Mike Beaulieu. "He'll be missed. He's a world of knowledge. I'm sorry to see him go.""He was very meticulous and very thorough in investigating things and making sure he had all the facts," selectman Tom Gray said. That's one thing we're going to miss." Beaulieu said the board needs to find a fill-in until March, when elections take place. There are a couple of candidates the board has in mind, he said, but he couldn't guarantee that Bridges' seat will be filled by the next meeting, which is on Monday, Aug. 4.Bridges' term would have ended in March, 2015. Whoever is appointed to take his place will serve until the March 2015 election."There are a lot of good candidates out there," said Bridges.

When booking your Alghero flight its best to consult a comparator so as to find the cheapest flight deals available and once you've booked those remember to check the airline's baggage allowance, as it may differ. When it comes to getting to Southampton Airport for your flight to Alghero, it's fairly straight forward, there are multiple options available to get you to your flight on time. With only 99 steps from the airport to the rail station, travelling by train is probably the fastest and easiest way of ensuring you get to your flight from Southampton to Alghero on time.

Bayesian Network Based XP Process Modelling
Free registration required
Executive Summary
A Bayesian Network based mathematical model has been used for modeling Extreme Programming software development process. The model is capable of predicting the expected finish time and the expected defect rate for each XP release. Therefore, it can be used to determine the success/failure of any XP Project. The model takes into account the effect of three XP practices, namely: Pair Programming, Test Driven Development and Onsite Customer practices. The model's predictions were validated against two case studies. Results show the precision of the model especially in predicting the project finish time.

It's all yours, guys!
I can't find it anywhere on MyFonts, and unfortunately I don't have time to look further. However, I found something fairly close, at least along the lines of its elegance and low x-height: Coronet. URW's version is a little heavier than Red Rooster's light version, though RR has a heavier weight, too.

Two New York City officials, along with the Brooklyn foster care agency's fiscal director, allegedly created phantom adoptions to pilfer hundreds of thousands of dollars intended for children with disabilities, federal authorities said. "These defendants were driven by greed," said U.S. Attorney Michael J. Garcia, "and they placed their own self-interest above the well-being of the children."

text: The University of Vermont Baseball Program has a long, proud tradition dating back to the 1880's. During this period, hundreds of Vermont high school graduates have donned the Green and Gold representing not only UVM but also their home state of Vermont. Baseball has always been one of the most successful athletic programs at UVM. In 2009, the athletic department cut both Baseball and Softball due to budget concerns. The following facts will illustrate that this was a poor, short sighted decision.

If you're having a bit of trouble deciding which to pick when it comes to the Hunger Games hotties—and which would make a better BF—let GL help ya out. Check this pros and cons list we've made for Peeta and Gale, and then make your decision on which cutie gets your vote.
- Every girl says they wish guys were more sensitive, well this guy already is. He can be really emotional (sometimes maybe a bit too much) and isn't afraid to share his feelings.
- He is super caring! When he likes someone and feels for someone, he will prove it. Peeta will go to the end of the world (or fight to the death!) in order to prove how much he cares.
-If you want to know what your BF is thinking, Peeta should be you're guy. He is so truthful and will always share what's on his mind.
- Peeta can be, um, a bit soft. He has worked in the bakery his whole life, after all, and has never really had to do crazy exercise.
-He can be a bit naïve. Growing up in a comfortable home, with a family that always had enough food, Peeta doesn't realize how bad others have it.
-Adventurous doesn't really come to mind when thinking of Peeta. Sure, he participates in the Hunger Games, but he didn't really have a choice. Besides that, it doesn't seem like he would do too many crazy exciting things.
-This boy is stroooong! He spends his life outdoors hunting, and his huge muscles are the result of that.
-Having to deal with a large family and not much money, Gale has had to become really street smart (or forest smart, we should say) in order to survive. He and Katniss practically lived in the woods to be able to get the things they needed. Gale knows the ins and outs of the woods and the market. Extremely resourceful!
-Gale will go to the end of the world in order to protect those he cares about. His family and Katniss' family are under his protection at all times. He won't let anyone harm them because he cares too much about them. Awww.
-Unpredictable and reckless come to mind when thinking about Gale. It's true, he does a lot of crazy things for his family and others, but still. He breaks laws, gets into trouble, and doesn't really care because he doesn't see much of a future for himself.
-Gale keeps a wall up, and he doesn't like to let people in emotionally. He has that tough guy attitude, which makes it hard for others to really get to know him.
-If you're a chatterbox and like having long conversations on the phone with your BF, then you might have a problem with Gale. He is not a big talker…AT ALL! A lot of times, he says all he needs with his eyes or expressions. Hey, Gale, words can be helpful too.

Editorial: A great reason for a party
A few weeks ago, fresh on the heels of the revelation of financial troubles with Farmington's Dew Days celebration, we wondered in this space whether the city had outgrown such events. Whether the city's residents had started to see Farmington as a place to live rather than an old-fashioned hometown.
It's nice, then, to get a few reminders that Farmington residents are still happy to get together and have a good time.
