TEMPE, Ariz.—The No. 22 Arizona State women's gymnastics team hosts instate rival 17th-ranked Arizona, Saturday, with the gymnastics point and the lead in the Territorial Cup® standings on the line. The meet, beginning at 4 p.m. MT, will also feature the Arizona State men's gymnastics club team facing Washington in the teams' annual co-ed meet.
The Sun Devils lead the series over the Wildcats in gymnastics with a head-to-head record of 30-12-1 since 1977. ASU last defeated Arizona in Tempe in 2011 by a score of 195.875-194.350, the team's first victory over the Wildcats in five years.
Referred to as surprising this season, the Gym Devils recorded their second score of 196 or better against BYU last Saturday. Topping the Cougars 196.200-194.525, ASU earned its highest team score since 2007, where the team also topped the 196 mark twice that season.
The team is not only hitting high marks, but also hitting them early in the season. The Gym Devils also scored above a 196 in January for the first time since 2006. The sport of gymnastics is known for its score creep through out the season. The fact the team is excelling early in the competition schedule bodes well for the future of the season.
The meet against the Wildcats will be broadcast on the Pac-12 Networks at 4 p.m. MT by Jim Watson and Amanda Pflugrad. The Sun Devils are also giving away two pairs of Beats by Dre headphones for fans in attendance.

Washington Player Quotes
Senior Sami Whitcomb:
On recent Pac-10 losses: "I mean it's frustrating just because we've seen the success that we can have and we're capable of. We still know we're capable of doing those things and it's frustrating because we do the things we need to do for a good amount of the game but then have these breakdowns that prevent us from getting the wins. We're still going to continue to work hard and figure out a way to play the full 40 minutes for these last six games and get some wins."
On First-Half Shooting: "When we were taking the right shots, they were open. When we would drive and kick, and we found the right person they were good, open shots but we weren't doing that enough so we started to force shots. They play good defense but we weren't making that extra pass enough and we weren't taking those shots when we were open so we ended up taking forced shots that weren't within our offense.

Hello the question is as stated above and is given to us in the context of group theory, specifically under the heading of isomorphism and products. I would write down what I have tried so far but I have made very little progress in trying to solve this over the last few hours!
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question
- Anybody can answer
- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
Hint: Find an injective group homomorphism $S_a \times S_b \hookrightarrow S_{a+b}$.
The number of ways to choose $a$ objects out of $a+b$ objects if order matters in the selection is $(a+b)\times(a+b-1)\times\cdots\times((a+b)-(a-1))=\frac{(a+b)!}{b!}$, since there are $a+b$ ways to choose the first object, $a+b-1$ ways to choose the second object from the remaining ones, and so on.
However, $a!$ permutations actually correspond to a single combination (where order is immaterial), since $a$ objects can be arranged in $a!$ ways. This means that $\frac{(a+b)!}{b!}=ka!$ for some integer $k$, so that $(a+b)!=ka!b!$.
A proof based on the binomial recurrence: $\frac{(a+b)!}{a!b!} ( =\binom{a+b}{a}) =: f(a,b)$ fulfills the following recurrence:
$f(a,b) = f(a-1,b) + f(a,b-1), \quad a>0,b>0$
with starting values
$f(a,0) = f(0,a) = 1, \quad a \ge 0$
so by induction for all non-negative integer values $a,b$ the function $f(a,b)=\frac{(a+b)!}{a!b!}$ is an integer value.
A proof based on prime factorization:
Let $e(N,p)$, $p$ a prime, be the exponent of $p$ in the prime factorization of $N$. Then we have to show:
For all primes $p$: $e(a!,p)+e(b!,p) \le e((a+b)!,p)$.
We have
$e(n!,p) = [\frac{n}{p}] + [\frac{n}{p^2}] + \cdots, \quad$ where $[r]$ is the largest integer $\le r$.
We also have
$[\frac{a}{k}] + [\frac{b}{k}] \le [\frac{a+b}{k}] \quad$ for any positive integers $a,b,k$.
From these two propositions the claim follows directly.

Updating on the season
Saturday, April 06, 2013
Hey everyone!
I hope that everybody is doing well! I'm putting along.. It's now been 6 weeks since the high school soccer season started and doing the best we can. The Varsity girls has only played 1 game and 1 scrimmage and had 1 game canceled because of weather! The one game they got in was this past Tuesday, we played in the rain and the team came from Wyoming, it was a long afternoon! The girls won though 6-2, unfortunately with the teams that we're getting ready to play it maybe the only win. The J.V. team had 2 cancellations and 2 scrimmages since the last game was suppose to happen but they had no refs so it became a scrimmage which was a good thing because I stopped counting when they hit 12 goals..
As of this week we have 6 girls who are ineligible and 10 girls who have now been excused from the team because making it to practice wasn't high on the priority list. This is very frustrating but our hands are tied. So as of now we no longer have a J.V. team and a Varsity team we are all now one big team until the ineligibles can come back...
Next week just like this last week we have 2 games on back to back days starting the week of the 15th we have 3 games a week until the end of the season, everyone is going to be spent, see why I said we may not win any more games! I hope they keep their chins up, with what they showed me the other day when they lost severely they never gave up. We have a great bunch of girls and I hope they stay that way!
Oh yeah, I forgot to mention, we have a really sweet girl on the team who is now gone for the season, the school had spring break last week and found out this past Monday that she had a sever seizure and ended up having brain surgery last Friday, trying to get to see her to see how she's doing, we're hoping she'll be back to school in another week!
Now packing up for my youngest's practice and game today, we'll be heading out in a few hours and be gone for about 3 then I can come home and relax and get caught up on all of the house activities and laundry!
Have a great week all of my Spark Friends!

I never coached a soccer team, but DH has. It was grade school for 8 years. I know how hectic things can get. For us it was always worse during tournament time. Between every other day practices (no matter what the weather) and than weekend tournaments. I remember one tournament was played in the snow. Keep up the great job you are doing. And maybe after the laundry, instead of cleaning the house take a nice long bubble bath and relax. I said after the laundry, because we need to wear clean clothes, but a messy house is a lived in house.....that was always how I looked at it when time was short to do anything about it. Take care, my friend. Oh by the way I just finished my last Easter egg.....
PS Prayers being said for a complete recovery for the girl who had surgery.

NEW YORK (May 9, 2013) - Undefeated World Boxing Organization (WBO) middleweight champion Peter "Kid Chocolate" Quillin (29-0, 21 KOs) has officially arrived on the International boxing scene, after destroying challenger Fernando Guerrero (25-2, 19 KOs) en route to victory by seventh-round technical knockout in his first title defense, April 27 on Showtime Championship Boxing from Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.
Now, the 29-year-old Quillin is one of the hottest boxers in the world, ready to unify the 160-pound division, assuming he can overcome some potential boxing politics in order to make a deal against one of the other major world middleweight title holders.
"I want to fight one of the other champions," Quillin said. "Sergio Martinez would be my first choice, but he's injured and out for the rest of the year. (Daniel) Geale is the IBF champion and that, right now, looks like the easiest unification fight to make."
Unifications are difficult to make a for wide variety of reasons and, unfortunately, Quillin against any of the other world champions faces the additional problems stemming from animosity between rivals Showtime and HBO, as well as Quillin's promoter, Golden Boy Promotions, and Top Rank.What Quillin has on his side, however, in addition to his rising popularity, is the fact that not only is he the only American-born world middleweight champion, but he's also the only American ranked among the consensus top 10 in independent rating systems.
"We'll fight anybody in a unification or major fight," added John Seip, who co-manages Quillin with Jim McDevitt. "Peter was awesome in his last fight. He really hurts his opponents with both hands. He connected on 50-percent of his power punches against Guerrero and that's an astronomical number. Nobody in this division can handle him. It's a numbers game, now. The promoters and networks have to put egos aside and give fans what they want with Peter in a major fight.
"No offense to (Brian) Vera or (Marco Antonio) Rubio, but we're looking for much bigger fights. Peter has earned the right to be a main event fighter. He helped open-up Barclays Center and had a lot of fans there against Guerrero. You don't make big money winning the world title belt; you do retaining it, and now it's time for Peter to reap the fruit of his labor. The biggest market in boxing is in America and a unification fight belongs here. Martinez is out with injuries, (Julio Cesar, Jr.) Chavez won't fight us, Golovkin has a fight at the end of June, but Geale interests us."
The affable Quillin goes into animal status when he steps between the ropes and into the ring. He has developed into a monster counter-puncher with power in both hands, to go with a chameleon-like ability to adjust his style according to what's most advantageous in each particular fight, often surprising opponents who based their game plan on Quillin's previous fight, and he also possess an incredible chin that allows him to walk through punches.
In his last two fights, Quillin has recorded an amazing 10 knockdowns, four against Guerrero and six more last October when he ripped the WBO belt from previously unbeaten defending champion Hassan N'Dam N'Jikam (27-0).
"And one other knockdown in my fight before that (N'Jikam)," Quillin noted, "against Winky (Wright), making it 11 knockdowns in my last three fights. "I never want to lose and just work hard to win every fight. I challenge myself in training camp for every fight and I have great trainers - Eric Brown (boxing), Brad Bose (strength and conditioning) and Robert Garcia (nutritionist). I'm improving every fight. I've gained valuable experience, become more confident since becoming world champion, and feel very comfortable in the ring. In my last fight, I showed improvement in ring generalship, composure, and even my interviewing skills. I'm becoming the full package."
It's Chocolate Time!
Geale wouldbe toughest guy that Quillin has thus far if he's able to beat him I will become a believer.
Geale wouldbe toughest guy that Quillin has thus far if he's able to beat him I will become a believer.
Yes, interesting fight.
I know Gealey a bit. He's a well schooled fighter, that can move and throw from different angles and balance points, and that is one of his advantages; because he is almost always in a good position to throw a punch. And this makes for seamless (within reason) transitions between the closure of one exchange and the commencement of the next punch/combination.
Quillin, I think, hasn't really fought anyone yet that can control distance, make him reset, and expose his flat footed style.
And maybe, Daniele hasn't fought anyone with the power Peter has - maybe.
It might just come down to whether Geale can control distance and impede Peter setting up the power - over Quillin testing Geale's punch resistance. Geale seems to have done a similar thing with Sylvester and Strum, but I am not sure Quillin has dealt with what Geale will bring, or whether he will have a plan "B" if power, bump and grind doesn't work.
And let's face it, Mayweather and many others constantly show us that power (in a opponent) is useless if it doesn't land.
Interested to hear what other TSS posters think about this one.
If the G guy boxes and boxes, he'd easy defeat Q. Q is rough around the edges. But can bang. So you never let his punches sang [sic]! Or he will blow you down like a hurricane. But his butt can be kicked, as long as you stay out if his killing lane. Holla!
Hassam kind of exposed Quillin's deficiencies. That would be an interesting fight to watch
Who will win the Sergey Kovalev vs Andre Ward fight?

Signs of Stress: Hives, Rash, and More
Stress Shows
Stress Shows
You know when you're experiencing stress. After your boss comes down hard on you or you get stuck in a particularly bad rush hour commute, you feel the effects. Your heart beats quickly, you breathe faster, and you sweat and feel anxious. At the end of a very stressful day you can feel irritable or have trouble sleeping.
But that's not the entire story. In addition to changing how you feel, stress can change the way you look. The outward signs often show up on your skin, hair, and nails.
Click through the slideshow to see examples of the physical signs of stress.
Acne Flare-Ups
Acne Flare-Ups
Have you ever wondered why you break out right before a big test or meeting at work? The link between stress and acne has to do with hormones. When you're under stress, your body pumps out more of certain hormones, such as cortisol. These hormones cause glands under your skin to produce more oil. Excess oil can get trapped inside hair follicles, along with dirt and dead skin cells, producing pimples.
Stressing out? See a visualization of how stress affects the body »
Inflamed Psoriasis and Rosacea
Inflamed Psoriasis and Rosacea
If you already have a skin condition like psoriasis or rosacea, stress can make it worse. Psoriasis is a buildup of too many skin cells, which form scaly silvery patches on the body. It's caused by inflammation, which can be fueled by stress. That's why people with psoriasis often get flares of the disease when they're tense.
Stress is also one of the most common triggers of rosacea flare-ups. These are red flushes that spread across the nose, cheeks, and chin.
Stressed People Aren't Kind to Their Skin
Stressed People Aren't Kind to Their Skin
Even if you have perfect skin, you might not treat it very well when you're under stress. Stress is a distraction that can make you neglect your skin care regimen, which should include daily washing and moisturizing, as well as eating a healthy diet. Stressed-out people also tend to develop bad habits when it comes to their skin. They may pull or rub at it, or pop pimples. These bad habits can lead to permanent scarring.
Hives are red, swollen, itchy bumps on the skin. Some people get them as part of an allergic reaction to an insect sting, food, or medicine. Others notice hives popping up on their skin on a more regular basis. Chronic hives may be due to an immune response, which is triggered by factors like heat, extreme exercise, or alcohol use. Stress can also cause hives, and it can make hives you already have even worse.
Brittle Nails
Brittle Nails
Stress also shows on your hands. When you're under duress, your nails can become thin and brittle. People who are stressed are also more likely to have bad nail habits, such as biting or picking at their nails and cuticles. This can damage nails even more and possibly lead to an infection. If you have the habit of rubbing your finger over your nails, it can eventually cause a bump or ridge to form in the middle of the nails.
Hair Loss
Hair Loss
Shiny, thick hair is more than just part of your image, it's also a sign of good health. Your hair constantly goes through phases. It grows during the anagen (active) phase and falls out during the telogen (resting) phase. When you're stressed, your hair stays in the resting phase longer, causing you to lose more hair. Rarely, people who are stressed develop a condition called trichotillomania, which causes an uncontrollable urge to pull out the hair.
Sweating It Out
Sweating It Out
Just about everyone has broken out in a sweat during a stressful situation, such as a nerve-wracking job interview or a difficult test. The sweat comes from apocrine glands, which are concentrated under the skin of the armpits and groin. That's why you may see dark stains forming under the arms of your shirt when you're nervous. The fluid combines with bacteria living on your skin, creating that unpleasant sweat smell.
Treat Stress, Clear Skin
Treat Stress, Clear Skin
When your skin has suffered as a result of stress, you need to treat the cause. Try fighting stress with relaxation techniques such as deep breathing, massage, meditation, and yoga. These techniques reduce levels of the stress hormones that can lead to breakouts and flare-ups of skin conditions. Also, see a dermatologist for treatments that will help clear your skin.

To Conduct Cellular Censuses Sequence Deeply...
Diseases of the Eye That Cause...
Three-Dimensional Cell Culture Has Two Dimensions,...
Scientific Misconduct Is Jeopardizing the Quality...

Women are currently underrepresented among speakers at scientific meetings, both in absolute terms and relative to their representation among attendees. However, a new study suggests one way to address this deficit.
An analysis of 460 scientific symposia to be published in mBio®, the online open-access journal of the American Society for Microbiology (ASM), reveals that the inclusion of at least one woman on a convening committee increases the proportion of female speakers by as much as 74% and significantly reduces the likelihood the session would have an all-male list of speakers.
Despite making gains in representation among rosters of undergraduate students, graduate students, and postdoctoral positions in the sciences, women are still not proportionally represented in the higher echelons of academia, says co-author Arturo Casadevall of the Albert Einstein College of Medicine.
If you're a scientist, speaking at scientific meetings can be an important feather in your cap, an achievement that can help you get ahead in your career, he says. "Hence, increasing the number of women who present their work at large meetings could translate into more women succeeding in science," says Casadevall.
Casadevall and Jo Handelsman of Yale University examined 460 symposia involving 1,845 speakers in two large meetings sponsored by the ASM—the General Meeting and the Interscience Conference on Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy (ICAAC). At these meetings, select groups of session conveners choose speakers for plenary sessions and individual symposia.
Casadevall and Handelsman classified sessions according to whether they had been convened by two men, a man and woman, or two women, then tallied the gender representation among speakers for each symposium.
Despite differences in the operating procedures for the two meetings, the results for the general meeting and ICAAC closely paralleled one another: In both there was a positive correlation between the participation of women as session conveners and participation by female scientists in those sessions. At the general meeting, sessions convened by all men had an average of 25% female speakers, and sessions where the convener team had at least one woman had an average of 43% female speakers—a 72% increase. At ICAAC, including at least one woman on the convening team was associated with 74% more female invited speakers.
"Meeting program committees could carefully consider the gender composition of those assigned to pull together scientific sessions and make efforts to involve women scientists as conveners for sessions and symposia," says Casadevall.

Frequently Asked Questions
My wife often kids me that I should change my title to "The Answer Man." That's because I get so many questions from so many different people on so many interesting things about this university. Let me share a sampling of the most commonly asked questions.
Faculty and staff tend to ask me about our "comprehensiveness." Such as, given the small percentage of our funding from the state and low in-state tuition, will CU-Boulder continue to be a comprehensive research university?
Yes. That's our mission and in no way are we going to lose sight of it. We must constantly look for ways to make up for the loss of state support. We are doing that by investing in partnerships with corporations, state and federal governmental agencies and major donors. We also have been forced to raise tuition, much to our regret. But it takes hundreds of millions of dollars to keep an institution as big and as active as ours running at top speed.
We're also being creative and entrepreneurial. For example, we are developing a residential colleges model for undergraduates. We are increasing merit and need-based funding to attract more high-quality undergraduates throughout the world. We're also establishing a single tuition rate for Ph.D. students on appointment to enhance graduate education. We are developing a new concept for the Research Park on East Campus to create new learning opportunities and to cultivate a rich environment for advancing discovery and generating new knowledge. And we are devising a multi-year plan to increase tenure-track faculty and to bring us to a parity in salary with AAU peers so we can better compete in recruiting and retaining the best faculty we can.
Here's a follow-up question: With more funding and entrepreneurial activities focusing on the sciences and engineering, will the humanities be able to survive?
You bet. Certainly, the rise of science and technology has contributed to a cultural divide between the sciences and humanities at universities around the world. We will continue to seek creative ways to fund social sciences, humanities and arts programs, similar to the development of the Libby Residential Academic Program for the visual and performing arts. Additionally, I believe the interdisciplinary nature of teaching and research on the campus will help us build success across all disciplines.
The major question that I get from students is about diversity. How do we increase the number of students of color and other diverse students – women, GLBT students, students with disabilities, first generation students – and improve the climate?
There's no single answer to this complex issue. I want to be clear that we are actively and sincerely working to build a welcoming environment that values and promotes diversity. We must help prepare students for the global and highly diverse community they will be entering upon graduation.
So what are we doing? We are responding to recommendations from the Blue Ribbon Commission on Diversity, which includes diversity training for faculty and staff. We are developing a new course project called "CU 101" for incoming students to communicate our expectations on important issues, such as diversity-related attitudes and behaviors. In addition, we have increased CU-LEAD Alliance Scholarships from $1,000 to $1,500 for all new CU-LEAD scholars next year and we've established the Ofelia Miramontes/Bill Barclay Memorial Fund to provide $50,000 annually to the Minority Arts and Science Program. But this is just the beginning. Diversity has become a Priority One issue for us.
From our alumni, I hear questions mainly about the image of the university. The last two years have been very difficult for the campus, in terms of high-profile issues and leadership changes. They want to know what we are doing to improve the reputation of the campus so the quality of their degrees doesn't diminish.
Great things are happening all the time here on the Boulder campus, but they don't get as much attention as the controversial issues. We are in the process of hiring a new Associate Vice Chancellor for University Communications, along with a permanent Spokesperson, to coordinate and improve getting our rich story of success out to the public.
Establishing a Framework for Success
We must continually seek to answer these and other vital questions to maintain our momentum. Let's prove to Colorado citizens and legislators, to our students and their parents, to our donors, and to ourselves, how truly outstanding this university is. Let's show them that there is not a single goal that, together, we cannot attain. Let's work together to fulfill the vision of the great future we all want.

|Meeting Description:
|From Freudian psychoanalysis to Deleuze and Guattari's schizoanalysis, from Greek and Roman tragedy to neuroimaging, one of the driving preoccupations of science and art has been the relationship between the exterior world and the inner reaches of the human mind. When delving beyond the realm of the material into the (un)conscious, what is at stake? What is the difference between vision and perception? How does the perception of personal realities shape our awareness of social, political and cultural histories? Do we imagine our own reality and what we hold to be true? What role does language play in the articulation of our realities? In what ways is history merely a concept of our minds and not a globally accepted truth? Can imagination serve as a scaffold that links our histories and realities?

The quest for fuel economy has pushed hybrids and electric cars into increased popularity. But it is also means diesels are gaining in popularity and acceptance. The slow, smoking, hard-to-start relic is a thing of the past. An Audi A6 diesel means 30mpg on the low end, 240hp starting at 3500rpm and muscle car torque of 428lb-ft at an absurdly low 1750rpm. No loss of traction, no loss of race.
Compared to the fuel economy oriented hybrids, this diesel produces roughly fifty to one hundred more horsepower, over one hundred more foot-pounds of torque, and no impact from lithium mining. Instead the 2014 Audi A6 TDI meets strict California emissions and achieves 40mpg at 80mph. Greg Helstrup of Collateral Resources, Inc. turned in his leased Audi S4 that I reviewed a few years ago for a more efficient commuter.
The direct competitor is the BMW 535d, similar power and mileage but one distinct difference, it isn't all-wheel drive. Punch the throttle, turn the steering wheel and the all wheel drive enables laying down all the power. The BMW will slip and engage traction control easily. Full disclosure, the author has extensive experience with a BMW 335d and the traction control.
Not aggressively styled on the outside, although the deep grill, 20" ten-spoke V-design wheels and dual exhaust give it a sporty appearance. Inside is the typical Audi interior excellence with plenty of driver information and the Multimedia Interface. The wide center console allows for a separate volume knob within easy reach of the main control dial for a more cohesive theme. Also seemingly rare, even in black leather and dashboard cars, is a black headliner.
The auto-stop/start feature is subtle but still noticeable. It is dependent on brake pedal pressure and with a hard enough tug on the steering wheel, the engine restarts. After that, steering effort is light and the cornering is surprisingly flat for a big sedan. Acceleration and throttle response at lower speeds is excellent with the 8-speed automatic shifting smoothly. The Pirelli P-Zero summer compound tires offer serious grip but when driven hard, the tell-tale rubber on the white paint behind them gave away earlier driving behavior.
Amenities included heated front and rear seats along with the steering wheel. The windshield wipers are hidden from view and rear sunshades keep the car cooler. However, the tilt and telescoping steering wheel is still manually adjusted.
With all wheel drive as the great enabler, a roomy, brilliant and luxurious interior, over 500 miles per tank and a no-compromise people-hauler size, this may be the best all-around sedan on the road today.

2.08 Policy on Length of Time to Complete Degree
2.08 Policy on Length of Time to Complete Degree
The standard MD program at Harvard Medical School takes four years to complete; however, students may apply to postpone graduation for a year if they:
- Want to obtain another degree (e.g. MPH, MPP)
- Want to spend a year doing a scholarly project
- Want to take an additional year of formal coursework
Students who need time off for extenuating medical/personal issues are advised to take a Leave of Absence from the School (Section 2.09). Students who are not in good academic standing at HMS are not eligible to enroll in an additional academic year for the scholarly endeavors outlined above. Students may be eligible to be enrolled at HMS for additional periods for purposes of remediation or completion of degree requirements. An additional year will not be granted for students who have completed their MD requirements and/or are within 6 months of graduation. See also Sections 1.05 and 1.06, Five-Year MD Program.
The academic records of HMS students are reviewed annually to ensure that the standards of satisfactory academic progress are being met (see Section 2.19, Satisfactory Academic Progress).
MD Degree: For the student who plans to obtain the MD degree only, approval for a well-planned fifth year is required. In rare instances, the student can petition for an additional, sixth year, but a student ordinarily will not be allowed to spend more than six years at HMS from matriculation to graduation if that student is receiving the MD degree only. The academic records of students who are approaching the deadline of "Time to Degree" for their respective degrees will be reviewed by the Registrar and the Promotion and Review Board (PRB), with enough notice to enable the student to complete the requirements by the end of "Time to Degree." If timely completion of the MD degree requirements is in jeopardy, the PRB will immediately request a plan for their completion and may dictate an implementation schedule in order to achieve compliance in the timeliest fashion. The review process is a yearly one; once the one-year limit has been reached, an application for extension is required for each subsequent year of continuation. Under certain circumstances, students may take a leave of absence from their studies. Students who are granted an approved leave of absence will not have the time away counted as part of the "Time to Degree," except that in no circumstances may a student seeking an MD degree complete the degree more than 10 years after matriculation. See Section 2.09 for rules governing Leaves of Absence.
MD/MMSc; MD/MPH; MD/MPP or MPA; MD/MBA Degrees: For students receiving the Master of Medical Science (MMSc), Master of Public Health (MPH), Master of Public Policy (MPP), Master of Public Administration (MPA) or Master of Business Administration (MBA), or other Master's degree, as well as the MD degree, five or six years are required, and, on a case by case basis, the student may petition for a seventh year. The student pays tuition for four years (8 semesters) for the MD degree and additional tuition for the Master's degree taken at another school of the University. Ordinarily a student in this category will not be permitted to remain at HMS beyond seven years.
NOTE: Students in the joint MD-MBA Program pay 8 semesters of tuition to HMS and 2 semesters of tuition to HBS, or a total of 5 years of tuition. However, HMS reimburses HBS for tuition for one semester of the fifth year, so in effect joint MD-MBA students pay 7 semesters of tuition to HMS and 3 semesters of tuition to HBS. Joint MD-MBA students who enroll in HMS (with approval of both HMS and the MD-MBA Program) beyond the five years of the joint program will be assessed HMS tuition for a 9th semester, or a total of 8 semesters of HMS tuition, and will be charged the standard HMS facilities fee for the 9th semester of HMS enrollment, as is the case for all MD students who extend their MD enrollment beyond four years (or 8 semesters).
MD/PhD Degrees: For students enrolled in an MD/PhD program, predicting accurately the time necessary to obtain the PhD degree may be difficult, but ordinarily a student in this category will not be permitted to remain at HMS beyond 10 years.

Colorado's legislature reconvened today amidst soaring rhetoric and, for the moment anyway, promises of bipartisan cooperation and fidelity to the public interest.
The second general session of the 67th general assembly was gaveled to order by speaker Terrance Carroll of Denver amidst a billion dollar-plus budget shortfall, a lingering recession and the launch of an election year.
"We will not tolerate special interests trampling on the many so the few can benefit," Carroll said in his opening remarks. "We won't allow the same obstructionism, the same influences that corrupt Washington to corrupt Colorado. And we will not allow reckless partisan games to get in the way of you and your family's prosperity."
Carroll said that the Democratic-led legislature would seek to increase the amount of renewable energy that must be produced by the state's electric utilities and aggressively seek grant funding from the Obama administration's "Race to the Top" education reform program.
He also promised to make "tough choices" necessary to close Colorado's $1.2 billion budget shortfall.
"This session, we will call on government agencies to be more accountable, to come up with clear goals for their programs, and plans for executing those goals," Carroll said. "And we'll hold their feet to the fire through performance audits."
House majority leader Paul Weissman, D-Louisville, confirmed that the majority party will consider elimination and consolidation of state agencies and programs.
"We're open to any ideas," Weissman said. "There are some that are trickier than others."
He also expressed interest in assigning the lieutenant governor specific job duties in order to save taxpayer money.
Republican minority leader Mike May of Parker said his party would fight against any tax or fee increases and defend the state constitutional amendment that limits government revenues.
"This year, we have two imperfect choices," May said. "We can increase the burdens on citizens to pay for our existing level of programs, bureaucracy and services, or we can make deep budget cuts and live within our means. My vote, as I'm sure you could have guessed, will be for living within our means."
He urged the gathered legislators to consider that Republicans would be helpful in resolving the state's budget crisis.
"We can bring a valuable perspective to important discussions this year," May said.
Rep. Liane "Buffie" McFadyen, D-Pueblo West, said she doubts the Democratic majority at the Capitol would be seeking to raise taxes or fees in any event.
"Because of the way our government is set up we can't actually raise taxes without approval from the voters," McFadyen said. "I don't foresee a lot of bills with fee increases in them anyway."
Weissman said the legislature would consider eliminating tax exemptions.
He specifically pointed to enterprise zone tax credits still applicable to Denver's LoDo area and the area around World Arena in Colorado Springs.
May also urged a reconsideration of regulations aimed at reducing the air and water pollution and wildlife impacts of oil and gas drilling, arguing that they have needlessly cost the state jobs.
The state Oil and Gas Conservation Commission recently reported that Colorado issued the most oil and gas drilling permits in the nation last year.
Senate leaders echoed warnings that the state faces continued budget difficulties and reiterated the legislature's determination to resolve them.
"We face no easy task," the chamber's president, Brandon Shaffer of Longmont, said. "We expect no easy solutions. Our problems will not be solved by slogans, but with hard work and sacrifice."
Sen. John P. Morse, D-Colorado Springs and the Senate majority leader, said his party would also focus on rescuing the state's public employee retirement system.
Shaffer and minority leader Josh Penry, R-Fruita, said last week that they have agreed on the terms of a bill to prevent PERA from becoming insolvent.
Policy-oriented speeches were not the only order of the day.
Rep. Dennis Apuan, D-Colorado Springs, paid homage to 39 American soldiers posted at Fort Carson who were killed in action in Iraq and Afghanistan during the last half of 2009.
Another, Republican Cindy Acree of Aurora, took the microphone to thank colleagues in both parties for their help in the aftermath of her husband's death during the summer.
Two new representatives, Democrat Max Tyler of Golden and Republican Brian DelGrosso of Loveland replaced veteran legislators Gwyn Green and Don Marostica this session, while new senators include Democrats Bruce Whitehead of Hesperus and Mike Johnston and Pat Steadman of Denver.

College Hockey:U.S. downs Slovakia for second straight win at World Juniors
BUFFALO, N.Y. — Former Notre Dame forward Kyle Palmieri had two goals and an assist to lead the United States past Slovakia, 6-1, at the IIHF World Junior Championship Tuesday night at HSBC Arena.
Palmieri, playing this season with the AHL's Syracuse Crunch, was also named Team USA player of the game.
Boston University forward Charlie Coyle added a goal and two assists, while Denver's Drew Shore also scored and won 16 of 19 face-offs.
Emerson Etem and Michigan's Chris Brown rounded out the scoring for Team USA (1-1-0-0), who put 58 shots on Slovakian goalies Dominik Riecicky and Juraj Holly.
U.S. goalie Jack Campbell finished with 17 saves in the win.
In a scary moment in the third period, Martin Marincin knocked Denver's Jason Zucker to the ice with what appeared to be a blindside hit to the head and received a five-minute major and a match penalty. Zucker had to be helped off the ice.
Jeremy Morin and Brock Nelson (North Dakota) did not play Tuesday night after getting injured in Sunday night's opening game against Finland.
The U.S. has Wednesday off before playing Germany at 7 p.m. EST Thursday at HSBC Arena.

The stars continue to align for Guardians of the Galaxy lead, Chris Pratt. The Parks and Recreation, funnyman has the number one movie in America under his belt, and another mega-block buster, in Jurassic World, in the works. Apparently, the talented actor can also rap, very well.
The rising star, recently sat down with DJ Whoo Kid on his radio show, Whoolywood Shuffle, to discuss all things Pratt. The radio host and the 35-year-old comedian touched on everything from living out of a van in Maui to the potential of an African-American dinosaur in the upcoming 2015 release, Jurassic World.
The host teased Chris Pratt on his taste in music to which the actor spoke candidly about on the radio show. When asked by DJ Whoo Kid, about whether he had a favorite rapper, or enjoyed "the white people dance shit", Pratt responded with a moment that is currently blowing up social media.
In the interview, Pratt admitted to smoking weed everyday while living in Maui and memorizing the words to every track on Dr. Dre's, Chronic 2001. Before the host or the production staff could probe further, Pratt busted out Eminem's lyrics flawlessly, even tweaking his pitch to resemble the rapper's.
The Guardian's star also spoke about the celebrity feud between Orlando Bloom and Justin Bieber to which Pratt gave another newsfeed clogging soundbite. Pratt claimed he would rather be fart on by David Hasselhoff than punched by Orlando Bloom (Whoolywood Shuffle).
Pratt's endearing charm and his light hearted antics, have been winning over fans and critics alike, during his promotion of his blockbuster release, Guardians of the Galaxy. The three minute video that is currently circling the Web is just the most recent reason to like Chris Pratt. Although, he may have made one enemy in Orlando Bloom.

URBANA, Ill. – Just as it was earlier in the season, the matchup between the No. 10 and 10th-seeded Mississippi State men's tennis squad and the No. 6 and seventh-seeded Tennessee Volunteers Thursday was a thriller. However, the Bulldogs (18-10) could not pull out the victory, dropping a tough 4-2 decision to the Volunteers (28-6) in the teams' NCAA Round of 16 matchup at the University of Illinois' Atkins Tennis Center.
The loss marks the end to a successful season for the Bulldogs, which saw them return to the Round of 16 for the first time since 2001. State also closed the book on the 2013 campaign with its third-straight winning season under head coach Per Nilsson.
"Overall, I'm very proud of our guys and the way they have fought throughout the season," Nilsson said. "It was a tough loss, but we accomplished a lot this season and I'm happy with the progress our program has made."
The Volunteers jumped out in front early by grabbing the doubles point with wins on courts one and three. The nation's top-ranked doubles squad in UT's Mikelis Libietis and Hunter Reese downed MSU's No. 13 squad of Jordan Angus and Malte Stropp 8-6, after the MSU duo had rallied from two breaks down to even the score at 6-6. Leveling the field was the State tandem of Pedro Dumont and Ethan Wilkinson, who came back to defeat UT's Jarryd Chaplin and Brandon Fickey 9-8(4) at No. 2.
The clincher came on court three, where the Volunteers' 34th-ranked squad of John Collins and Ed Jones had to fend off a furious rally by MSU's Romain Bogaerts and Zach White to take the match 8-6 and clinch the doubles point.
In singles, the two teams split first sets take, both capturing three each. Tennessee struck first, with Chaplin defeating MSU's Angus 6-3, 6-3 at No. 4 to give the Vols a 2-0 advantage. The Bulldogs then got on the board when the freshman Dumont earned his eighth-straight win, defeating UT's Jones 6-2, 6-2 at the No. 6 position.
UT extended its lead to 3-1 when Fickey defeated Bulldog senior James Chaudry 6-3, 6-2 at the No. 3 spot. However, State answered back once again, with White defeating UT's Collins 6-4, 6-3 on court five to bring State within one.
The match then came down to the top two courts of play, with State needing both to advance to the national quarterfinals. With play on court one between MSU's No. 6 Bogaerts and UT's No. 1 Libietis entering a decisive third set, the Bulldog junior Stropp, ranked 57th in the nation, looked to force a third on his own to keep MSU's hopes alive. However, UT's No. 34 Reese fought off Stropp's rally attempts, earning a 6-3, 7-5 victory and clinching the match for the Vols.
Play on court one was then suspended, with UT's Libietis leading MSU's Bogaerts 3-6, 6-1, 3-1.
With the team season concluded, the careers of two Bulldog seniors have come to a close. Ethan Wilkinson finishes his time at State with a 6-8 career record in singles and a 26-25 record on the doubles court. James Chaudry wraps up his MSU stay with a 49-33 singles record and 23-28 in doubles play.
"I have really enjoyed having James and Ethan on this team," Nilsson said. "They have meant a lot to this program and to myself and I hope that they take something out of their experience at MSU into their futures."
Despite Mississippi State's team season being finished, the 2013 campaign is not completely over. Freshmen Angus and Bogaerts, along with junior Stropp will compete in the 2013 NCAA Individual Championships. Bogaerts, the 6th national seed, and Stropp will compete in the singles competition, while Angus and Stropp will play in the doubles bracket.

Hollywood's Hottest Vice: Celebrity Smokers [PHOTOS]
It's hard being a celebrity, isn't it. With the constant stress of all the cameras in your face, and the fans, and the money and power, it's easy for anyone to become overwhelmed. So it's also not a far stretch to think of why so many famous people today partake in the unhealthy, yet strangely attractive habit of smoking cigarettes.
Don't get me wrong, the stench of tobacco on someone's breath is an irrevocable turn off, but for some reason, the sight of someone like Ryan Gosling with a cigarette in his hand isn't as hard to watch as one might expect.
Honestly, I think it depends on the person who is smoking, that determines if it's a good or bad vice for them to practice. For instance, Charlie Sheen is still the blatantly in-your-face guy that we all know, regardless of him smoking or not. But pair a cigarette with Keira Knightly, and it automatically makes her look more bad ass. Maybe that's a totally distorted way of looking at people. But hey, it's an opinion.
Do you agree? Take a look at the gallery we've compiled of some of your favorite and also most unexpected cigarette smokers in Hollywood and decide for yourself.

Date: January 10 2013
Eight people were stuck on a Gold Coast theme park roller coaster for more than an hour following a mid-ride breakdown.
An electrical fault caused one of Movie World's Green Lantern roller coaster cars to stop after midday on Wednesday, and staff had to ferry umbrellas and water to the eight people in the car.
They were upright, but stuck halfway up the 33-metre ride, according to a Movie World spokesman, Darrin Davis.
"It was out of action for an hour and 10 minutes," he said. "It was just one car and a minor electrical fault caused it. It was fixed quickly."
The roller coaster is one of Movie World's flagship rides and boasts the steepest drop in the southern hemisphere.
The car was restarted and the eight people were safely taken off the ride.

Unified junior welterweight champion Danny Garcia knocked "Lightning" Rod Salka onto Queer Street in the second round Saturday night at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.
In a criminal mismatch, Garcia (29-0, 17 KOs) dropped the 31-year-old Salka (19-4, 3 KOs) three times and the bout was mercilessly halted at 2 minutes, 31 seconds of the decisive frame after "Swift Danny" floored "Lightning" with a savage left hook.
A ballooned lightweight who is not even ranked in the top 70 of that weight class, Salka possesses feathery fists and a weak résumé.
Hence, as a 50-1 underdog, WBA and WBC sanctioning bodies wouldn't allow Salka to compete for Garcia's belts.
Despite the substandard adversary, Garcia was aggressive and relentless and treated Salka like a punching bag.
Essentially, considering such insane circumstances, Garcia couldn't have looked better this weekend in Gotham's most populous borough.
"I came here and did what I was supposed to do," said Garcia, 26, who was featured on the cover of the December 2013 issue of The Ring magazine.
"Puerto Rico was an off night for me. This was Danny Garcia at his best. Anyone would have gotten knocked out tonight."
Garcia has trumped solid pugilists Lucas Matthysse, Zab Judah, Erik Morales, and Amir Khan and he's determined to become Puerto Rico's next legend in the squared circle.
Perhaps "anyone would have gotten knocked out."
Nevertheless, without "an off night," Danny Garcia should immediately reenter the gym and begin preparing to face a more qualified opponent before 2015.

According to the Android and Me website, Verizon will launch it's own VCast app store for Droid phones running Android 2.1 and higher. Verizon will begin selling third party apps (with a 30/70 split on revenue) through the site and will be responsible for approving or declining apps. Will the move help distinguish Verizon Droid phones or will it just be filled with bloatware?
From my vantage point, I don't see this as a good thing. Forgetting I find most VCast stuff deplorable, having another place to get apps could be confusing for customers. Which app store did you get that in? If more app stores come online, the potential exists for more confusion.
Then, there's the "why?" problem. Why would users want to develop for the Verizon store, reaching only a subset of Android users? Visibility perhaps? Verizon is offering the same take (70%) for developers as Google's app repository. We would expect these apps to be limited to Verizon phones. Can we have differentiation without fragmentation?
It would seem that Google doesn't have any issue with Verizon moving forward with this, as the two have been buddy-buddy as of late. Perhaps I am wrong on this but it doesn't feel like a path we want to see for Android.

Obama Weighs In on Mourdock, Says 'Rape Is Rape' on Leno
"This is exactly why you don't want politicians, mostly male, making decisions about women's health care."
In keeping with his recent habit of discussing extremely serious topics during late-night comedy appearances, President Obama waded into the controversy over Republican Senate candidate Richard Mourdock's declaration that pregnancy from rape is "something God intended to happen" on the Tonight Show. "I don't know how these guys come up with these ideas," Obama told Jay Leno. "Let me make a very simple proposition: Rape is rape. It is a crime." The president used the Republican rape gaffe du jour to highlight his support for Planned Parenthood and upholding Roe v. Wade, adding, "This is exactly why you don't want a bunch of politicians, mostly male, making decisions about women's health care decisions."
During the lengthy interview, Obama covered a wide range of topics, including voter identification laws, Hillary Clinton's plans to leave the administration ("despite my begging"), and his disappointment that the debates are finally over ("I was just getting the hang of it!").
The president also responded to a question about his ongoing feud with Donald Trump by making a birther joke about himself. If you've been down on yourself for even momentarily considering that Trump's "very big" news could be anything more than an absurd self-promotional stunt, this should make up for it. See Obama out Trump as a fellow Kenyan and share his plot to woo Ohio voters with Halloween candy in the video below:

I am 25. My wife is 24. We have been married for 3.5 years. Both of us are in pretty good health. I'm a little overweight (~15-20lb above "recommended") but not obese...I just don't understand.
We have not been intimate in over 10 months. My wife claims that she has no sex drive, no interest in sex. For two years before that, we had sex, at most, twice per month, so I'm used to having to wait a while in between having sex. I enjoy foreplay. I've done everything I could to make things more enjoyable for both of us. She just doesn't "need sex like [I] do." For the first few months of our current dry spell, I tried to remain optimistic. At this point, I'm about at my wit's end.
To me, sex is not just a biochemical act. It is the pinnacle of intimacy in a relationship. As such, I've felt little to no intimacy in our marriage for almost a year.
Sorry to just dump like this as soon as I join this forum, but I've gotta ask:
1. Has anyone else here had to deal with this?
2. If so, does it ever get better?
3. What should I do?

Store personnel inside Scheels saw Charles Rogers, 18, of Iowa City, pick up two hats about 1:50 p.m. March 15 and hide them in an American Eagle bag he was carrying, according to a police report. Rogers left the store without paying, according to police, and was contacted by authorities.
Rogers was cooperative, police reported, and now faces a charge of misdemeanor theft.
Hes scheduled to appear in court on the charge April 19.
Rogers, a 6-2, 190-pound quarterback, chose to sign with Iowa State over Minnesota and Northern Illinois earlier this year.
