Discussion in 'February 2008' started by Dlev59, Feb 4, 2008.
I would figure that for Celtic fans, winning is a fresh experience.
I don't see any way for the Celtics to win the 'ship without better development of Gabe Pruitt. He should probably start in front of Allen.
Don't look now, but the Pistons only trail the Celtics by 3 games. Would home court advantage be a good thing against Boston in the ECF?
Gabe Pruitt didn't even play last night. I'm sure Boston fans are calling for Doc Rivers' head in the forums this morning.
Wow. Maybe I can offer a little perspective here, or possibly just a different take. Amir only plays 2 minutes and suddenly Flip is once again the devil and we have 0 chance of winning the championship? C'mon...look, I thought he played well in his 2 minutes and am also curious why he didn't play more, but I'm not going to say Flip has completely reverted. Look, Sheed had energy and Dice was a MAN on the boards in the 1st half. So realistically you'd only put Amir in for Max, but hey...let Max try to work through his struggles a little bit. He's earned that right. Now here's a simple question - forget the teams involved, players, etc. Who is more important to develop - your backup point guard (hardest position in the NBA), or your 4th big man? Well duh, your backup PG. How about some praise from Flip for letting Stuckey play 8 minutes of the 4th quarter, and keeping him in there even as the lead diminished, not bringing Chauncey back until very late in the game? You think he would've ever done that last year? Especially with a ROOKIE? Listen, I'm all for developing our players, but is doing 1-2 at a time (instead of 3 with amir) really all that bad? Flip is putting Chauncey/Afflalo together and Rip/Stuckey together, and both of those guys got significant time last night. Amir is not in the same position because Max is capable of backing up both spots and there's not a clear difference between PF and C. Anyway, on to the game. I had fun missing a day and a half of work with the stomach flu (or something similar). So I was soooo excited to have to drive out in this weather. I didn't get to my normal spot to meet up w/my buddy until 7:30, but then Telegraph was closed so he didn't even meet me until 8:40. Simply put, we didn't get to the Palace until halftime, and when we pulled in, there was still a HUGE line to get in!! At halftime there was probably about 3000-5000 fans still trying to get in and park!! I'm glad I missed the first half though. A bunch of fans moved down to the lower level from the upper, and to their credit they were pretty loud, especially toward the end of the game. It's easy to forget sometimes that the upper deck usually has the louder fans, with the lower bowl usually occupied by people who don't care as much in the regular season. The drive home wasn't as bad, but yuck what a bad night. Let's look at the positives. Jarvis took better shots and made some, along with making a few good defensive plays. Dice found his shot again. Sheed once again won the game for us and dominated when he had to. Our rookie guards are hanging around for rebounds when often you'd never see Chauncey or Rip in the vicinity. As for the negatives, Rip made a few terrible turnovers, once right before he got pulled for AA in the 3rd, and the other as soon as he came back in the game in the 4th. That, combined with Tayshaun's missed FTs, triggered the Miami comeback. It looks like the Dallas game didn't carry over for JMax. He needs to get in a better rhythm and post up for some shots before trying the jumpers, because they're all clanging off the back of the rim. He's playing solid defense but not grabbing as many boards. He also got screwed on two straight calls (block that should've been a charge on Miami, and a traveling violation when he was still trying to secure the rebound). All things considered, I thought Stuckey played a heckuva a game. That minus stat in the 4th quarter wasn't really his fault. He wasn't afraid to go right at D-Wade...and if only he made that jumper after the sweet pass fake that totally fooled Wade. Wade drove for a layup, Stuckey immediately came back and got one himself. Stuckey may have gotten grabbed on the block, but I don't think it was bad enough to be an obvious foul...he should've taken another step or two and tried to dunk it, rather than picking up his dribble at the free throw line. He made a nice pass to Dice after driving (Dice didn't convert), had a sweet outlet pass to Jarvis, made some nice defensive plays and had a good steal, and yeah. Wade was told before the game about why Stuckey wore #3, and you could especially see in the 2nd half that Wade made it his personal mission to hound Stuckey. And for a rookie to play decent enough against an Olympian, NBA Finals champion, NBA Finals MVP, and multiple All-Star starter, I'd say that's all you could ask for. He has a 2.27 Assist:TO ratio already and averages nearly a steal a game in only 15 minutes. And last night he proved to himself that while he has a lot to work on, he can at least hang with the Wade's of the NBA. Anyway, bash Saunders all you want, but he gave a rookie PG 8 minutes in the 4th quarter of a tight game matched up against a superstar, so I'm not going to call for his head because Amir only got 2 minutes. Oh yeah, and Wade still travels constantly ... the step, then double 'hop-through' is 3 steps buddy. Too bad it never gets called.
lol fickle fans we are..... stuckey got serious burn and if he's playing in the 4th quarter of a close game AA isn't going to be in too... there is development and there is playing like a team rebuilding. I am not sure how bad/good AJ played but he was -6 in his short time on court. The games right now are a couple days apart at home so there is no issue of being tired, and both starting big men were playing well. My biggest concern is max, one rebound in all that time... if he doesn't come out of his slump shortly maybe seeing what AJ can do as the first one off the bench might be worth seeing. But it was a huge trap game, there terrible..... One of the stars of the game just got traded, so they all know there playing for there jobs as nobody is safe and we still won.
Which play do you mean? There was one where Wade blocked his shot. Looked like Wade blocked it from in front. I don't think they really care about developing players is the thing or how many mins Nash plays. I don't know. You don't want to be here after a loss.
Here is how it went down. Amir checks in the game...Ricky Davis hits a 3-pointerJarvis Hayes turns it overRip fouls Wade (1 of 2)Sheed misses a 19-footerAlexander Johnson misses, Amir gets reboundAmir scores in the paintAlexander Johnson makes 20-footerStuckey misses 14-footerWade makes a layupSheed misses a 3-pointerDyess fouls Blunt (2 of 2)Rip makes 3-pointerAmir checks out.
Hog, thanks for the recap, and for adding some perspective too. Sure, I would have liked for Amir to play some more as well, but I had forgotten to bring up Stuckey getting lots of 4th quarter mins even though the lead was disappearing. CB only played 32 minutes for the whole game.
First, excellent hog-cap. And I'm glad you didn't end up in a ditch on either end of the game. I also noticed last night, maybe near the end of the third, but I forget, Flip yelling at Rip for committing a particularly dumb foul guarding a guy past the three point line and just so happens, right in front of Flip. You don't often see Flip really getting on a guy and I think that's something he probably needs to do more of. Do you see Tay getting pulled back from the scorer's table twice in the fourth? First Hayes hit a shot and Flip sent Tay back to the bench, then he sent him back again after a timeout and left Hayes in.
I was surpirsed at the minutes played reading the boxscore today. It didn't seem that bad watching the game last night. The struggle didn't really surprise me all that much. I thought the second unit opened it up a bit in the second. Until reading the actual minutes played, I was thinking Flip had done a decent job rotation-wise minus AJ not getting back in. I like how he has let AA guard Kobe and Wade. I wish he would get over the phobia of having Stuckey/AA & Amir/Max playing together. If Amir played 7 more minutes (And there was nothing to suggest he was the root of all evil out there) Dyess could have only run for 30. Give Max 2 more and it's 28. I don't think that is a lot to ask. I didn't have a problem with Sheed's PT. He didn't play that, that much. Miami is one motley crew up front.
With Boston only being 7 - 6 in the last thirteen games before they beat the Clippers last night and with us now being only 4 games back of the Celtics in the loss column, I think Flipper did not want to let this one slip away. The Celtics have played 4 more home games than road games and we have played 5 more road games than home games. We are playing very well at home this year 18-4 so we might actually be only a game or two behind them once the home and road games balance out. For those that believe that home court advantage does matter, we did not want to let yesterday's game slip away. NBA - Standings - Yahoo! Sports
That is a good way to look at it. By using your method, I calculate that the Pistons are 3 games back vs. the 5 games back that the standings indicate. Celtics home record is .840, their road record is .762. So the average between them is .801. .801 x 47 games = 37.6 wins Pistons home record is .818, our road recored is .654. So our average between them is .736. .736 x 47 games = 34.6 wins. Garnett being out was probably offset by the games that our starters missed earlier in the year.
The standings show the Pistons are 3 games back, not 5 games back. You confused me. :nerd2:
Oh, you're right. I calculated 1/2 games in the wrong direction. So, I guess the conclusion is that we are 3 games back in the standings... and after you adjust for the home court/ away mix, we are still 3 games back. That makes sense, since Boston's home record and away record (on a % basis) are both better than ours. What a waste of time.
LOL. Good analysis!!
I believe that we are 3 back not 5 and 4 in the loss column.
I don't believe that the PECOTA logic applies here. It seems to me that we pick up two games on Boston once the home and away evens out. Boston's road record is way above what it should be. I believe that it will come down before the year is over. We shall see.
Why should their road record be wose than it is?
They do. Check out their boards sometimes. The Celtics actually play their bench so BOS doesn't have much to complain about. They stick to hating on Doc River, and his idiotic playcalling. Most Suns fans despise that D'Antonio overplays their starters to death, blame him for coming up short due to fatigue, and hate their rotation. They also belive Nash will eventually die of fatigue. edited to add; In response to Warthog's post why does it have to be either or?. Yea Stuck got minutes, but AJ doesn't play back-up PG.
Separate names with a comma.

Desperation: Barney Frank lent campaign $200,000 in third quarter
posted at 10:12 pm on October 19, 2010 by Allahpundit
As much as I like Bielat, not until this very moment did I think this seat might really be in play.
Frank isn't a tremendously wealthy guy. What on earth are his internal polls showing him to make him cough up 200 grand?
Longtime Massachusetts Rep. Barney Frank has given his re-election campaign $200,000 as he faces his toughest race in years.
A campaign finance report filed Tuesday showed that Frank, the chairman of the powerful House Financial Services committee, lent himself the money Tuesday…
A longtime public servant, Frank isn't exactly a rich man. Financial disclosures filed with the House show he has assets between $560,000 and $1.5 million. He is not required to disclose the worth of his primary residence.
Maybe he's just playing it safe. According to the new WSJ generic ballot poll out tonight, this hurricane has now increased to a Category Four:
Among likely voters, Republicans hold a 50% to 43% edge, up from a three-percentage-point lead a month ago. And in the 92 House districts considered most competitive, the GOP's lead is 20 points…
"It's hard to say Democrats are facing anything less than a category four hurricane," said Peter Hart, the Democratic pollster who conducts the Journal poll with Republican pollster Bill McInturff. "And it's unlikely the Democratic House will be left standing."…
The Republican edge in intensity of support, after falling from a 19-point lead in August to a 14-point lead in September, is now at 20 percentage points.
"After seven weeks of a powerful counteroffensive, the dynamics haven't changed," Mr. McInturff said of Democratic efforts to diminish GOP momentum.
Does Hart know that there's such a thing as a Category Five 'cane? If so, electorally speaking, what would that look like? A 20-point lead in enthusiasm and in battleground districts is pretty much the apocalypse, no?
Exit question: I'm calling for predictions right now. Will Bielat take this seat?

Club President hits 90.
Sir Jack Hayward, a legendary figure in the history of Wolverhampton Wanderers, celebrates his 90th birthday today.
Click here for free video
Chief Executive Jez Moxey has penned the following message, on behalf of everyone at Wolves, for the man who was inducted in the Club's Hall of Fame in 2011.
"On behalf of everyone at the Club I'd like to take this opportunity of wishing Sir Jack a very happy and hearty 90th birthday.
"When Sir Jack took over the reins here at Molineux, the stadium was in a dilapidated state and the team had just begun the recovery process following its well documented financial difficulties.
"Sir Jack's millions turned the stadium into one of the most modern in the country and we began to see in the old gold and black the calibre of players that, before his arrival and contribution to the revival, would have been deemed well out of reach of the club.
"His love of Wolverhampton Wanderers has, without doubt, made a huge dent to his bank account but it mattered not to him – his only desire was to see the club successful once more.
"I know that his cherished dream was to see the team lift the FA Cup at Wembley and, in 1998, that dream was almost realised when the team got through to the FA Cup semi-final stage of the competition where they lost out narrowly to Arsenal.
"But he bore the disappointment well wearing that famous smile and, whilst it wasn't the FA Cup, who will ever forget the look of joy on his face and the thumbs up when Wolves beat Sheffield United in the play-off final at the Millennium Stadium to reach the Premier League in 2003.
"Sir Jack always had a good relationship with the supporters of the club and it is easy to understand why, for his passion and love of Wolves mirrors that of our fans.
"It seems a long time distant from 1990 when he first purchased the club but his 17 years in charge until he sold Wolves to Steve Morgan in 2007, were never without colour and interest.
"Despite the many millions that he poured into Wolves, it was typically generous of the man that he should sell the club for a nominal £10. It remains a truly remarkable gesture.
"Born a decent goal-kick away from the ground, for the vast majority of his 90 years Sir Jack Hayward has been, above all, a supporter of Wolves.
"From his boyhood days when he crawled under the turnstiles to get into an otherwise full ground, through his years as owner of the club right up to today in his role as President – he has always been an avid fan.
"One thing is for sure, the Wolves supporters of today, and those of tomorrow, will always owe a big debt of gratitude to Sir Jack for what he did in helping bring the Club back from the brink.
"Happy Birthday Sir Jack."

Administrative Core
The ADCS Administrative Core provides administrative, fiscal, regulatory, and study
participant recruitment and retention support for the organization as a whole. The Administrative
Core plans and coordinates ADCS Steering Committee meetings, makes decisions involving policy,
priority, the flow of work, and allocation of resources and personnel. Further, it develops and
oversees the development of appropriate policies, procedures and the manual of standard operating
procedures for the ADCS.
The Finance Unit of the Administrative Core provides fiscal control
for the operations of the ADCS, generates payments to participating research sites for work
completed, establishes and maintains contracts with vendors and research sites, and manages
all aspects of ADCS grant proposal submissions.
The Regulatory Affairs (RA) Unit manages the regulatory complexities of ADCS clinical trials.
The RA unit assists with protocol development and works with the Project Directors to ensure
that the protocol meets all regulatory requirements, including those for the informed consent,
HIPAA and NIH data-sharing requirements. The unit creates, reviews and assesses research
material that is submitted to regulatory agencies, affiliated institutions and their
Institutional Review Boards (IRB). Regulatory files are maintained at the Coordinating
Center and include current IRB approvals and other critical essential documents for each
project in which a research site is participating. Ongoing communication with the IRB,
sponsors, the FDA and other regulatory agencies allows the RA unit to ensure submission and
follow-up of appropriate documentation at the local level. The unit has designed a very
thorough protocol initiation process and works with the study sites to work through this
process in order for RA to release study drug/approve sites for subject enrollment.
In addition, the RA unit oversees and collects Conflict of Interest reports for all members
of the ADCS.
The Recruitment and Retention Team maximizes efficient enrollment of participants and
subsequent successful retention. The recruitment coordinators use many well-thought-out
techniques including newsletters, web-based communication, direct mail, press releases
and placement of all studies on both public and private clinical study websites.
They also provide training to the participating sites on recruitment and retention,
public relations and making use of local media. Tools are provided for the sites,
including reference cards, bookmarks, flyers, brochures, protocol-specific information
sheets, videos and DVDs, and newsletters. The team monitors enrollment at each site and
offers assistance for identifying recruitment barriers and potential target audiences.
The Information Technology and Software Development Unit develops technology solutions and manages
computing infrastructure, network connectivity and security for ADCS. The staff researches and
develops software systems for the ADCS such as the ADCS public website, the administrative website,
the contact management system, the site payments system, the requisition management system and the asset
tracking system, to name a few. It also provides technical services and support to the
Administrative Core, Medical Core, Clinical Operations and ADCS Biomarker Lab.

New Zealanders' long lives and educational attainment have put the country in the top 10 most developed countries in the world, according to a United Nations measure.
The Human Development Index, which brings together health, educational and income indicators, is pitched as a broader measure of wellbeing than conventional measures of national development, such as income alone and the rate of economic growth.
High health and education scores lifted New Zealand's index value, which saw it punch above the OECD index score.
Professor Tony Blakely, an Otago University researcher, said the return on what we spend in the health sector was partly reflected in our life expectancy. But that was only half the story as we ranked outside the top 10 in that individual measure.
Instead, New Zealand's health spending - which was much less than that of the United States, which spent the equivalent of 17 per cent of its GDP in 2010 on health - performed well because of the efficiency of drug buying agency Pharmac and the primary health and health promotion sectors.
Auckland University's Peter O'Conner, an associate professor in critical studies in education, said the country had a world-class education system.
"We can point to success based on the quality of our teachers, the quality of our broad national curriculum and that we are addressing what's described as the long tail of underachievement and we're doing that with innovative programmes."
The flexibility of the education system with private, public, kura kaupapa and special character schools was also a strength.
"That happens nowhere else in the world."
The 10 least developed nations of the 186 surveyed were all from Africa, and included Niger, Democratic Republic of Congo, Mozambique, Chad and Burkina Faso.
Sir Peter Leitch thinks New Zealand is "the best country in the world" and wouldn't live anywhere else.
"I do a lot of travel and I can't wait to get home when I go away.
Sir Peter said there would not be many countries where he could have built the Mad Butcher chain from the ground up, or where Sir Michael Hill could have built his jewellery empire.

Perception underpins everything that we feel, think and believe. It is the source of all artistic expression and scientific exploration. What we perceive IS who we are. Perception is the foundation of human experience, but few of us understand why we see what we do, much less how.
The Lab of Misfits Studio, founded by Neuro-scientist, Dr Beau Lotto, is the worlds first neuro-design studio and public perception research space. The Lab of Misfits turns the world into a lab as a way of enabling insights for companies and organisations.
The lab creates unique real-world experiential-experiments that places the public at the centre of the process of discovery. By spanning social and personal boundaries between people, brands and institutions, our aim is to create, expand and apply insights into what it is to be a perceiving human. The Lab of Misfits gives audiences and clients the opportunity to see differently more than this to embody an ecology of innovation.
By revealing the startling truths about the brain and its perceptions, we show that the next big innovation is not a new technology: it is a new way of seeing.
Let us help show you how uncertainty and the brains need to resolve it, is essential for thinking about not only branding and business, but specifically design, leadership and innovation.
Explaining the biological principles that are common to all visual animals.
Understanding how and why we see what we do will ultimately require understanding the complex, emergent and interdependent relationships between biology and psychology. Here, we feature work relevant to the mechanisms of seeing. This includes research on bumblebees as this has the potential to explain the biological principles that are common to all visual animals, including humans.
Investigating how the human mind makes sense from the senseless
Since there is no inherent value in the incredibly complex patterns of light that fall onto our eyes, the brain tells itself stories, and it is these stories that are our perceptual and conceptual truths of the world that guide our behaviour. Here, we feature our work that is aimed at helping us to understand the principles by which the human brain encodes the meaning of sensory relationships that were previously useful since the process of perception is, in fact, a manifestation of past experience.
Exploring perception using computation and artificial life.
While all brains are made from the same biological stuff, their diversity in structure is phenomenal. And yet, all animals as diverse as bees and humans evolved to solve the same visual puzzles, and even probably as a consequence see the same illusions. A critical aim of our research is to understand what is common between such divergent systems. Only when we know this answer will we be able to understand the principle by which the brain any brain makes sense of the world.
If such a common principle exists, then it'll be best described at the level of mathematics (computation more generally), because this level of explanation is mute to the actual structure of the system of interest in the same way that mathematical theories of evolution transcend the structure that's evolving.
On this page, we feature our work that is attempting to discover how all networks natural or artificial resolve the inherent uncertainty of sensory information, which is the critical challenge facing any robust sensory system; some of this work involves playing god: evolving artificial life systems within artificial worlds. Answering this question will not only give us deep insights into the nature of perception, and indeed into human nature generally, but will also lead to highly robust artificial machine systems, which currently cannot out-compete the simple bumblebee.
In addition to this basic mathematical research, we are also applying our understanding of biological computation to new explore new ways of thinking in art and music.
Fundamental to the success of Lab of Misfits' research is our engagement with people at multiple levels. The point is to enable others to consider the importance of not being an outside observer of nature, but one defined by interaction with our environment towards fostering a more empathetic and creative view of nature and human nature. Crucial to this is our ability to 'see ourselves see'.
Therefore, in addition to publishing scientific papers, we create physical structures and stage events in venues ranging from galleries and concert halls to schools, and even the side of the street as well as in our own lab in the Science Museum. Our work has also featured on several television and radio programmes. All these activities are highlighted on this page.
We call our public work 'street science', since all of our work is ambitious and truly experimental in that obtaining real data, information and understanding is at the heart of each project. In this way, we aim to leave a trace in the viewer that goes beyond their immediate sensory experience and also to contribute to technical innovation, while simultaneously impacting current understanding of nature and human nature.
Here, we highlight the events, papers, talks, projects, performances and installations that will soon be in the public domain. Once Lab of Misfits has fixed a launch date for a particular projects or event, this will be listed on our Newspage.
Here, we describe projects that are in the development phase. These may include commissioned projects, or ideas for research or public installations that are being developed, but are not yet realised.
Here, we list all our public installations, published papers, public programmes, television and radio appearances for easy and quick reference. The term 'Everything' might be better to describe what's here, as nothing included on this page is considered 'history'.

The images here show the installation process, which was completed in May, 2009.
In the project Blackawton Bees (in collaboration with Head Teach Dave Strudwick and tech Tina Wadwellyn) we again have performed truly novel experiments on bumblebees at a primary school in Devon. Except this time we have completely removed all boundaries: The experiments were not devised by the 'scientist', but by twenty five 8-year-old children.
The Beacon is a 6 metre 'Street Science' installation of solar panels, glass and light erected on Old Street in London. The work is an experimental public structure that considers our dependence on the environment, not only for our survival, but also for who we are, even the colours we see.
Here we provide a set of powerful colour, motion and shape illusions created in-house. Much of our research is centred on understanding how and why we see illusions.

A programme that enables children to become the scientists that they already are.
Do you see the same colours that I see? Working in collaboration with the BBC's Horizon programme, we have launched a series of experiments to answer this question.
This public programme aims to explore perception through live and interactive experiments involving large numbers of subjects.
We regularly invite visitors into our lab during the Lates events, which draw thousands of people to the Science Museum every month.
By making music using binaural recording technology, we explore the process of recording sound not as it exists in air, but as our eardrum actually 'hears' it.

This research programme is creating virtual bees, what we call APIANTS, to help explain vision.More
This is the first project in our i,maker programme. The idea is that anyone can come into our space, grab a wrench and build a scooter from scratch. Why? Because it is through the process of making that we make sense of our world and ourselves. The programme will take place in October 2011 and will last for one week. If you'd like to take part, please keep an eye on our News page, as well as our Home page.
To choose is to live (or die). Every second of the day we make a choice or more accurately THINK we are making choices. How and why do we choice what we do?
There's plenty of research to suggest that the visual system is intimately related to the auditory system. In collaboration with Mick Grierson of Goldsmiths, we will be creating experiments that investigate how deep this relationship goes, and whether this potential relationship is consistent across age, sex, race, culture etc.
Beau Lotto is working with the wonderful Anna Starkey on a series of children's books that explore the nature of perception and how we can take ownership of what we see (and don't see). Bee and Me is the first in the series of books for children.
Beau Lotto has been commissioned by Oxford University Press to write a popular science book about how and why we see colour as we do... and why it tells us something fundamental about who we are.
How do we enable large numbers of children (AND their teachers and schools) to become true creators of science without losing the intimacy that is required to transform lives en route? As with all our work, the i,scientist community is a research project that will be attempting to answer this question.
Lab of Misfits has many aims and ambitions, one of which is to be a space (conceptual and physical) where people can become creators of science... through play. We're therefore hoping to create a 'club' whose members will have access to the lab at their own will. But we've really no idea where this will lead... we would like the members to figure that out for us instead.
William Blake is fundamental to our thinking about how we see things and how they can be looked at from a different perspective. To this day his ideas remain contemporary and relevant, making it a pleasure to have been requested to take part in the Ashmolean's exhibition of Blake's works.More
We are running a series of experiments that investigate our perception of generosity.More
Physical interaction is the route via which the brain makes sense of the world and oneself in that world. Making, then, is the deeply intuitive process by which we create what we see, hear, feel and touch. 'Making Chocolate' will be the second of our i'maker projects. The project is being created in collaboration with cocoa bean growers in Ecuador.
Beau Lotto, in collaboration with Dave Strudwick, is developing ambitious plans to build on Lab of Misfits' existing My School programme in order to create a new school called My School for Inspiring Talents (MySFIT) one that aims to engender what is fundamental to well-being (and good science)... playfulness, openness, adaptability and empathy. The plan is to apply those principles of science to education, and in MySFIT specifically for disadvantaged young people.
Innovation requires seeing the world and oneself uniquely, but this is hard to do, especially within institutions. We are therefore creating a number of workshops for the creative industries to apply our understanding of perception to foster innovation in their own fields. These workshops take full advantage of our wonderful lab space deep inside one of the world's leading public institutions: London's Science Museum.
The language of fashion has the potential to transform lives for the positive, since fashion is something we participate in every morning when we open the wardrobe (consciously or otherwise). Beau Lotto, in collaboration with one of the UK's leading fashion designers, Helen Story, aims to 'redefine' the catwalk and what it represents.
Imagine the orchestra, not laid out in front of you on a stage, but as a personified wall of sound measuring 25 metres tall by 40 metres wide. Also imagine listening to that human wall of music, not on the ground in seats but moving around, hearing the same live performance from many different perspectives. vEnsemble (or the Vertical Orchestra) is our dream to transform the composition and performance of music through the science of spatial sound perception.
What is theatre? How does a director direct? Indeed how does anyone make a decision? Living Narratives is a Lab of Misfits installation/experience created in collaboration with the super-energetic and creative Danish theatre Director Sidsel Bech (currently based in Liverpool). Living Narratives involves tens even hundreds of people in a space with two simple tasks: stay in the space and never stop walking.
LumaKey is a unique, hand-held object that translates the light intensity on a piece of paper into sound. With this simple object, it's possible to create musical rhythms from visual patterns, and in doing so experience the visual world in a wholly different way. Like all our 'products', we will be selling the LumaKey to sell an idea... the idea of transforming lives by transforming perception.
One of Beau's best friends is Michele Gauler, who also happens to be a fabulous Berlin-based designer. Together they are exploring the medium of textiles as a language for exploring and communicating the nature of perception. The See Shirts many of which will feature hand-painted images on organic cotton will be sold as part of our line of 'perceptual ware'.
A new sound installation by Lab of Misfits, the Triptych is being created in collaboration with Alex Gabby (film maker), Mike Walker (sound designer) and Larry Goves (composer). The piece explores the relationship between what we see and what we hear, and uses this basic neurological link as the basis for new musical composition and performance.
Lab of Misfits is in the process of creating a new 4-metre tall installation that changes the direction of rotation in the perception of those looking at it. The Windmill is a new large, outdoor installation of wood and steel that can be installed on the grounds of a school; the first one will be at Blackawton School in Devon.

Pucker up for your next party!
As you know, we have this little obsession with beauty products. After all, every girl needs to match her perfect party dress with the right makeup essentials for a pretty and polished look…it's the ultimate finishing touch. So at Camille La Vie, we're making it our mission to not only bring you the most beautiful dresses, but we're allotting some much-needed time and energy towards finding what we believe to be the MUST-HAVE (and most importantly, EFFECTIVE) beauty tools each season.
And for Summer 2013, it's all about light and pretty colors with a natural, sun-kissed look. For this post, our focus is pouty, gorgeous lips without the heavy, bold hues. And while we love a pretty color for our lips, especially when it comes in lovely packaging…we try to find ones that keep our puckers well-hydrated. Because really who wants a lip product that delivers color, but leaves them chapped and dry as you move through the day?
THE SOLUTION: Moisturizing lip color balms (because they're seriously amazing).
These 6 products have faithfully made their way into our cosmetic bags and they'll never leave. Try these and see for yourselves:
1. Fresh Sugar Lip Treatment: it comes in a variety of colors and although a bit pricey, the end result is supple long-lasting lips. Our favorite, by far!
2. Clinique Almost There Lipstick: if you want to add more striking color (especially for evening affairs), this is a must. It also works as a moisturizing lip balm – SCORE!
3. Clinique Chubby Stick: it's a fashion blogger favorite…and for great reason. This was one of the first ones we've tried…and it was love at first pout from here on out!
4. Neutrogena Moisture Smooth ColorStick: pretty much identical to the chubby stick in form and function, plus half the price…no complaints there.
5. Stila Color Balm Lipstick: gives a creamy color to your lips while adding the essential nourishing effects of a lip balm. It has a satin finish with a hint of shine. Love!
6. Smashbox Limitless Stain & Color Seal Balm: who doesn't love a two-in-one? Especially if it pairs a long-wearing stain with an emollient balm. Wear it together for a colorful, lustrous sheen or alone. Either ways work wonders.
So which one tickles your fancy?

Reviews of this property
Very good room, clean and warm home. Very nice opportunity to meet with other tenants. You should specify the stop "Limehouse" nearest metro in your ad.
Très bon séjour, logement propre et bien chauffé. Possibilité très sympa de rencontre avec les autres locataires. Vous devriez préciser l'arrêt de métro "Limehouse" le plus proche dans votre annonce.
We were not informed that it was a shared flat. ie. we had our own room, but had to share, toilet, bathroom and kitchen with 3 other rooms.
At the same time bed space to 3 pers not optiimal, a very bad sofa bed with very thin mattress so you could feel the bottom of the bed. We ended up lying madrasen down on the floor.
Vi var ikke informeret om at det var en dele lejlighed. dvs. vi havde vores eget værelse, men skulle dele, toilet, bad og køkken med 3 andre værelser.
Samtidig var sengepladsen til den 3. pers. ikke optiimal, en meget dårlig sovesofa med meget tynd madras så man kunne mærke bunden af sengen. Vi endte med ligge madrasen ned på gulvet.
positive points : Very well located next to 15 bus route and not far from DLR station. Room spacious, clean and comfortable (except the sofa for 3rd person). Bathroom and kitchen OK, cleaned every day. cheap supermarkets not far.
negative points : the flat is noisy (busy road and beeps from construction works), and some kitchen and cigarette smells seep in from the balcony. You can feel the iron bars from the sofa through the mattress. Light can be seen from the corridor when other flatmates come in late at night.
On the whole, a good place to stay.
Decent accommodation. Price-performance is consistent, in our view. Bus on the doorstep and shopping is over possible. So breakfast in the hotel for us was always easily feasible. Only the third bed is a complete Katstrophe - a strange frame without firm mattress, so each iron rod leads to any form of back pain. Otherwise, everything was very good.
Ordentliche Unterkunft. Preis-Leistung ist aus unserer Sicht stimmig. Bus fährt vor der Haustür und Einkauf ist gegenüber möglich. Sodass ein Frühstück in der Unterkunft für uns immer mühelos machbar war.
Nur das dritte Bett ist eine komplette Katstrophe - ein seltsames Gestell ohne feste Matratze, sodass jede Eisenstange zu jeder Form von Rückenschmerzen führt.
Sonst alles sehr gut.
Nice private room, not hot and not noisy. The kitchen handy - especially for breakfast with modern coffee pot - I had to give nothing, it was all there. Compared to the grocery store was always open and with a much better selection of products stocked than any average Viennese supermarket. The bus to go into town is handy for more impressions of London's streets and he actually went quickly!
Nettes Privatzimmer, nicht heiß und nicht laut. Die Küche praktisch, - vor allem zum Frühstücken mit moderner Kaffeekanne - ich mußte nichts verzichten, es war alles da. Gegenüber war der Lebensmittelladen immer offen und mit einer weitaus besseren Auswahl an Produkten bestückt als jeder durchschnittliche Wiener Supermarkt. Mit dem Bus in die Stadt zu fahren ist praktisch, um weitere Eindrücke von London´s Straßen zu erhalten und er fuhr tatsächlich rasch!
Very fine room. Toilet/bathroom/kitchen are very clean. Fine supermarket across the street (warm baguettes every morning). It indeed feels like travelling like a local. I don't think you can stay anywhere else in London so cheap and have such a good room.
Good value for money, especially for London. Functional housing. Spacious room for 3 people and a baby. Our host had prepared the cot as planned. Only flaw the sofa bed very uncomfortable and sometimes closes on the person when it rises ...
Bon rapport qualité prix, surtout pour Londres. Logement fonctionnel. Chambre spacieuse pour 3 personnes et un bébé. Notre hôte avait préparé le lit bébé comme prévu. Seul petit défaut le clic clac pas très confortable et se referme parfois sur la personne quand elle se lève...
The room was ok, but contact with Ivanilda not. I send her 2 messages before arriving London, and she didn't write back. When I called to her, she didn't know about booking, but finally she found e-mail with details. When we reached to this flat, we called to her again, but no one picked up phone. We have waiting about all day, to anyone confirm this booking!!! Finally we get keys to house, but we didn't sure, when we spend this night.
In my opinion: flat & room was ok, area - ok (but not perfect), but CONTACT and beahvior Ivanilda's was unacceptable.
Its was a super accomadation, everything was very clean and tidy. The only thing was that the folding bed had a very thing matrass. The location of the hostel was also great, because everything was very nearby. The host was also very nice!
I was very satisfied with my stay in London.
The apartment was clean and the room was rather big for 3 persons.
Only the mattress of the canape-bed was too fine, it would be necessary to plan an additional mattress.....
The husband of Ivanilda and Jimmy were very nice.
I will rent this room an another time if i return in London !
- Quality assured accommodation
- Every host is verified by telephone
- Secure payment via SSL encryption

Unless you have very large hands, most people just leave the medium one on (the one that comes already installed in the gun). I have small hands, yet I like this best.

If I take an old transformer from an O gauge train set, can I use this as an embedding device?
I'm assuming I can hook up some wired alligator clips to either end of the foundation wire, (wiring deep frames, so both wire ends are on one side,) then turn up the juice to heat the wires. I'll have to test for the best "speed" and time.
Am I correct in the set up to make this work?

Zolvit Patient Information including If I Miss a Dose
In this Article
- What is acetaminophen and hydrocodone (Zolvit)?
- What are the possible side effects of acetaminophen and hydrocodone?
- What is the most important information I should know about acetaminophen and hydrocodone?
- What should I discuss with my healthcare provider before taking acetaminophen and hydrocodone?
- How should I take acetaminophen and hydrocodone?
- What happens if I miss a dose?
- What happens if I overdose?
- What should I avoid while taking acetaminophen and hydrocodone?
- What other drugs will affect acetaminophen and hydrocodone?
- Where can I get more information?
What happens if I miss a dose?
Since acetaminophen and hydrocodone is taken as needed, you may not be on a dosing schedule. If you are taking the medication regularly, take the missed dose as soon as you remember. Skip the missed dose if it is almost time for your next scheduled dose. Do not use extra medicine to make up the missed dose.
What happens if I overdose?
Seek emergency medical attention or call the Poison Help line at 1-800-222-1222. An overdose of acetaminophen and hydrocodone can be fatal.
The first signs of an acetaminophen overdose include loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, sweating, and confusion or weakness. Later symptoms may include pain in your upper stomach, dark urine, and yellowing of your skin or the whites of your eyes.
Overdose symptoms may also include extreme drowsiness, pinpoint pupils, cold and clammy skin, muscle weakness, fainting, weak pulse, slow heart rate, coma, blue lips, shallow breathing, or no breathing
What should I avoid while taking acetaminophen and hydrocodone?
This medication may impair your thinking or reactions. Avoid driving or operating machinery until you know how acetaminophen and hydrocodone will affect you.
Ask a doctor or pharmacist before using any other cold, allergy, pain, or sleep medication. Acetaminophen (sometimes abbreviated as APAP) is contained in many combination medicines. Taking certain products together can cause you to get too much acetaminophen which can lead to a fatal overdose. Check the label to see if a medicine contains acetaminophen or APAP.
Avoid drinking alcohol. It may increase your risk of liver damage while taking acetaminophen.
What other drugs will affect acetaminophen and hydrocodone?
Do not take acetaminophen and hydrocodone with any other narcotic pain medications, sedatives, tranquilizers, sleeping pills, muscle relaxers, or other medicines that can make you sleepy or slow your breathing. Dangerous side effects may result.
Tell your doctor about all other medicines you use, especially:
- an antidepressant such as amitriptyline (Elavil, Vanatrip, Limbitrol), doxepin (Sinequan), nortriptyline (Pamelor), and others;
- an MAO inhibitor such as furazolidone (Furoxone), isocarboxazid (Marplan), phenelzine (Nardil), rasagiline (Azilect), selegiline (Eldepryl, Emsam, Zelapar), or tranylcypromine (Parnate);
- atropine (Donnatal, and others), benztropine (Cogentin), dimenhydrinate (Dramamine), glycopyrrolate (Robinul), mepenzolate (Cantil), methscopolamine (Pamine), or scopolamine (Transderm-Scop);
- bladder or urinary medications such as darifenacin (Enablex), flavoxate (Urispas), oxybutynin (Ditropan, Oxytrol), tolterodine (Detrol), or solifenacin (Vesicare);
- a bronchodilator such as ipratropium (Atrovent) or tiotropium (Spiriva); or
- irritable bowel medications such as dicyclomine (Bentyl), hyoscyamine (Anaspaz, Cystospaz, Levsin, and others), or propantheline (Pro-Banthine).
This list is not complete and other drugs may interact with acetaminophen and hydrocodone. Tell your doctor about all medications you use. This includes prescription, over-the-counter, vitamin, and herbal products. Do not start a new medication without telling your doctor.
Where can I get more information?
Your pharmacist can provide more information about acetaminophen and hydrocodone.
Remember, keep this and all other medicines out of the reach of children, never share your medicines with others, and use this medication only for the indication prescribed.

Afra Raymond:
Three myths about corruption
Trinidad and Tobago amassed great wealth in the 1970s thanks to oil — but 2 out of every 3 dollars earmarked for development ended up wasted or stolen.

Leave congress to squabble over healthcare, government spending, and tax cuts—it's time to put partisanship on pause with a trip to West Virginia's Lost River Valley, just two hours outside of DC.
Escape for a two-night stay for two at the Lost River Bed and Breakfast on Fridays and Saturdays or Saturdays and Sundays ($239), including a guided horseback ride for two from Hidden Trails Stables, or settle in for a two-night stay on Sundays through Thursdays ($177). Tucked between two mountain ridges in a rugged and rustic slice of Appalachia, this restored farmhouse offers a casual, country calm rarely found on Capitol Hill.
Talking heads cease upon filling up on an included continental breakfast each morning, as well as on lunch and dinner with included dining credits—worth $20 and $45, respectively. Afternoon and evening meals are served at the on-site Lost River Grill, where the only executive order is that you try the hand-cut steaks, fresh shrimp pesto, chicken Italiano, and homemade chocolate cream pie.
Once you've enjoyed a house recess, convene for a special session of wine and hors d'œuvres on one night of your stay.
Legislate changes to your daily routine when you choose among the area's vast array of outdoor pursuits. Go fishing in the aptly named Trout Pond, bike or hike your way through Lost River State Park, take a rafting trip down the South Fork River, or go for a climb in George Washington National Forest.
It's about time you lobbied for a change of pace—and this is just the Escape to declare your independence from the bustle of the big city.
"For those who love the great outdoors, there are few states that can match this corner of Appalachia for scenic beauty and challenging terrain. (The state's nickname, 'The Mountain State,' is well earned.)"-- Frommer's

Google's Larry Page Talks Smack About Facebook, Apple

Sender E-mail
Google's Larry Page
In short, he said their products could be better
It's not uncommon for rivals to bash one another, so Google co-founder and CEO Larry Page took a couple of
jabs at Facebook and Apple
in a recent interview.
In an interview with
, Page discussed how he wants Google to come up with some "moon shots," or far-out ideas such as the company's self-driving vehicles that recently achieved 30,000 accident-free miles.
However, Page also took the opportunity to throw a few insults at rivals Facebook and Apple. Google's social network, Google+, has been working to gain the amount of users that Facebook has while Google's Android operating system
competes with Apple's iOS
While Page recognizes that Facebook is a heavyweight in the social arena, he said, "They're also doing a really bad job on their products … we're actually doing something different [from Facebook]. I think it's outrageous to say that there's only space for one company in these areas."
Page may be a little sore that Google, which launched in 2011, hasn't quite lived up to the hype of it potentially being a Facebook rival. There are currently 500 million registered users on Google+ and only about 125 million are active monthly (compared to Facebook's one billion monthly active users as of October 2012).
Rather than become a Facebook rival, though, it looks more like Google+ has become a product incorporated into Google's search.
In November of last year, Google's Vice President of Product Bradley Horowitz spoke with
Business Insider
about Google+, also
taking a jab at Facebook
. Specifically, he targeted the social network's use of advertisements, where they're forced into people's news feeds. He even went as far as comparing Facebook ads to a guy with a sandwich board popping in between a father and his daughter during an important conversation.
"We don't have to make next week's payroll by jamming ads at users," said Horowitz.
In the recent
interview, Page also had something to say about Apple's product practices. While Apple is another huge player in the mobile space, Page thinks its products are limited.
"You know, we always have these debates: we have all this money, we have all these people, why aren't we doing more stuff?" said Page. "You may say that Apple only does a very, very small number of things, and that's working pretty well for them. But I find that unsatisfying."
Earlier this week, it was reported that Google's Nexus 7 tablet market share was greater in Japan than Apple's iPad. Market research firm BCN conducted a survey in Japan last December, and out of 2,400 consumer electronics stores in Japan, the iPad had 40.1 percent of the market while
Google's Nexus 7
claimed 44.4 percent.
"So far we have not seen a single Android device that does not infringe on our patents." -- Microsoft General Counsel Brad Smith

text: I disagree. You are a lot less likely to chase after a loose ball or try to snag a rebound if you aren't confident you can get to it. Offensive struggles can effect the entirety of your game, especially when that is the aspect of your game that stands out against the teammates you are competing for minutes with. Daye is a better shooter than Prince, Jerebko, and Wilkins, but his shot isn't falling. This doesn't excuse a lack of effort on the court though. He needs to handle this stretch better, no question. A young player struggling offensively and feeling like he's getting squeezed out of the rotation tuning out isn't uncommon. If he doesn't turn it around, then he'll be out of here. Though there are likely teams willing to give him a chance without as much of a log jam, so it's not as if his career is in jeopardy.

Candidiasis (Mucocutaneous)
Patient Education
- Fungal Skin Infections
- Candidiasis (Mucocutaneous)
- Overview of Dermatophytoses
- Tinea Barbae
- Tinea Capitis
- Tinea Corporis
- Tinea Cruris
- Tinea Pedis
- Dermatophytid Reaction
- Intertrigo
- Tinea Versicolor
Candidiasis (moniliasis) is skin infection with Candida sp, most commonly Candida albicans. Infections can occur anywhere and are most common in skinfolds, digital web spaces, genitals, cuticles, and oral mucosa. Symptoms and signs vary by site. Diagnosis is by clinical appearance and potassium hydroxide wet mount of skin scrapings. Treatment is with drying agents and antifungals.
Most candidal infections are of the skin and mucous membranes, but invasive candidiasis is common among immunosuppressed patients and can be life threatening. Systemic candidiasis is discussed in Fungi. Vulvovaginal candidiasis is discussed in Candidal Vaginitis.
Candida is a group of about 150 yeast species. C. albicans is responsible for about 70 to 80% of all candidal infections. Other significant species include C. glabrata,C. tropicalis,C. krusei, and C. dubliniensis.
Candida is a ubiquitous yeast that resides harmlessly on skin and mucous membranes until dampness, heat, and impaired local and systemic defenses provide a fertile environment for it to grow.
Risk factors for candidiasis include
Hot weather
Restrictive clothing
Poor hygiene
Infrequent diaper or undergarment changes in children and elderly patients
Altered flora resulting from antibiotic therapy
Inflammatory diseases (eg, psoriasis) that occur in skinfolds
Immunosuppression resulting from corticosteroids and immunosuppressive drugs, pregnancy, diabetes, other endocrinopathies (eg, Cushing disease, hypoadrenalism, hypothyroidism), blood dyscrasias, or T-cell defects
Candidiasis occurs most commonly in intertriginous areas such as the axillae, groin, and gluteal folds (eg, diaper rash), in digital web spaces, on the glans penis, and beneath the breasts. Vulvovaginal candidiasis is common among women. Candidal nail infections and paronychia may develop after improperly done manicures and in kitchen workers and others whose hands are continually exposed to water (see Onychomycosis). In obese people, candidal infections may occur beneath the pannus (abdominal fold). Oropharyngeal candidiasis is a common sign of local or systemic immunosuppression.
Chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis typically affects the nails, skin, and oropharynx. Patients have cutaneous anergy to Candida, absent proliferative responses to Candida antigen (but normal proliferative responses to mitogens), and an intact antibody response to Candida and other antigens. Chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis may occur as an autosomal recessive illness associated with hypoparathyroidism and Addison disease (Candida-endocrinopathy syndrome).
Symptoms and Signs
Intertriginous infections manifest as pruritic, well-demarcated, erythematous patches of varying size and shape; erythema may be difficult to detect in darker-skinned patients. Primary patches may have adjacent satellite papules and pustules. Perianal candidiasis produces white maceration and pruritus ani. Vulvovaginal candidiasis causes pruritus and discharge (see Candidal Vaginitis).
Candidal infection is a frequent cause of chronic paronychia, which manifests as painful red periungual swelling. Subungual infections are characterized by distal separation of one or several fingernails (onycholysis), with white or yellow discoloration of the subungual area.
Oropharyngeal candidiasis causes white plaques on oral mucous membranes that may bleed when scraped (see Interpretation of findings).
Perlèche is candidiasis at the corners of the mouth, which causes cracks and tiny fissures. It may stem from chronic lip licking, thumb sucking, ill-fitting dentures, or other conditions that make the corners of the mouth moist enough that yeast can grow.
Chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis is characterized by red, pustular, crusted, and thickened plaques resembling psoriasis, especially on the nose and forehead, and is invariably associated with chronic oral candidiasis.
Diagnosis of mucocutaneous candidiasis is based on clinical appearance and identification of yeast and pseudohyphae in potassium hydroxide wet mounts of scrapings from a lesion. Positive culture alone is usually meaningless because Candida is omnipresent.
Intertriginous infection is treated with drying agents as needed (eg, Burow solution compresses applied for 15 to 20 min for oozing lesions) and topical antifungals (see Table: Options for Treatment of Superficial Fungal Infections*). Powdered formulations are also helpful (eg, miconazole powder bid for 2 to 3 wk). Fluconazole 150 mg po once/wk for 2 to 4 wk can be used for extensive intertriginous candidiasis; topical antifungal agents may be used at the same time.
Options for Treatment of Superficial Fungal Infections*
Candidal diaper rash is treated with more frequent changes of diapers, use of super- or ultra-absorbent disposable diapers, and an imidazole cream bid. Oral nystatin is an option for infants with coexisting oropharyngeal candidiasis; 1 mL of suspension (100,000 units/mL) is placed in each buccal pouch qid.
Candidal paronychia is treated by protecting the area from wetness and giving topical or oral antifungals. These infections are often resistant to treatment. Thymol 4% in alcohol applied to the affected area twice daily is often helpful.
Oral candidiasis can be treated by dissolving 1 clotrimazole 10-mg troche in the mouth 4 to 5 times/day for 14 days. Another option is nystatin oral suspension (4 to 6 mL of a 100,000 unit/mL solution) held in the mouth for as long as possible and then swallowed or expectorated 3 to 4 times/day, continuing for 7 to 14 days after symptoms and signs have resolved. A systemic antifungal may also be used (eg, fluconazole 200 mg po on the first day, then 100 mg po once/day for 2 to 3 wk thereafter).
Chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis requires long-term oral antifungal treatment with oral fluconazole.
Key Points
Candida are normal skin flora that can become infective under certain conditions (eg, excessive moisture, alteration of normal flora, host immunosuppression).
Consider candidiasis with erythematous, scaling, pruritic patches in intertriginous areas and with lesions in the mucous membranes, around the nails, or at the corners of the mouth.
If clinical appearance is not diagnostic, try to identify yeast and pseudohyphae in potassium hydroxide wet mounts of scrapings from a lesion.
Treat most intertriginous candidiasis with a drying agent and a topical antifungal.
Treat most diaper rash with frequent changes of absorbent disposable diapers and an imidazole cream.
Treat oral candidiasis with clotrimazole troches, nystatin oral suspension, or an oral antifungal.

LOVE AND MATH: The Heart of Hidden Reality. Edward Frenkel. 286 pp. Basic Books, 2013. $27.99.
Last April the distinguished biologist Edward O. Wilson published an essay in the Wall Street Journal arguing that knowledge of mathematics is not necessary or even particularly helpful in most of the sciences. The champion who stepped forward from the ranks of mathematicians to contest this claim was not an elder statesman like Wilson but a Russian American mathematician in his 40s: Edward Frenkel of the University of California, Berkeley. Frenkel countered that math is indeed a useful tool, and more. "It's about concepts and ideas that empower us to describe reality and figure out how the world really works," he wrote. (The Wilson and the Frenkel essays were reprinted in Notices of the American Mathematical Society and are available online: http://www.ams.org/notices/201307/rnoti-p837.pdf.) He expands on this theme in Love and Math, a book that blends personal memoir with a tutorial introduction to some important ideas on the frontiers of modern mathematics.
First the memoir part. Frenkel grew up in an industrial city two hours from Moscow where a family friend—a teacher at a local college—encouraged and coached him in mathematics. In 1984, at age 16, he applied to the mathematics program at Moscow State University (known as MGU), even though he had been warned he would not be admitted because of his "nationality": Jewish. The Soviet brand of anti-Semitism in that era had an especially cruel twist to it. Officially, discrimination didn't exist; all students were eligible to apply. But those with Jewish names or heritage were turned away through a system of rigged oral exams. Frenkel was given a geometry problem about a circle inscribed in a triangle. As soon as he began to answer, his inquisitor interrupted to demand that he define a circle. "A circle is the set of points on the plane equidistant from a given point," Frenkel said. Wrong. "It's the set of all points on the plane equidistant from a given point." Next he had to define a triangle and then a line. Of course none of the answers were ever quite satisfactory.
Frenkel ultimately enrolled at a less exalted school, the Institute of Oil and Gas, but he found ways to attend lectures at MGU. (The ways included scaling fences.) Within a few years he was collaborating with mathematicians in the same department that had rejected him, and publishing original research. Nevertheless, the unwritten rules of "nationality" would have blocked his path to an academic position in Russia. In the end it was MGU's loss. Frenkel was offered a fellowship at Harvard, where he became a visiting professor even though he was just finishing his bachelor's degree. He never went back.
Alongside the story of his life, Frenkel tells the story of his mathematics. His focus is a body of work called the Langlands Program, after Robert Langlands of the Institute for Advanced Study (although dozens of other mathematicians have contributed to it over the past 40 years). "I like to think of it as a Grand Unified Theory of Mathematics," Frenkel writes, "because it uncovers and brings into focus mysterious patterns shared by different areas of math and thus points to deep, unexpected connections between them." The most famous example of such a connection emerged 20 years ago with the proof of Fermat's Last Theorem. The theorem is a statement in number theory. It says there are no positive integers x, y, and z that solve the equation xn + yn = zn when n is any integer greater than 2. The proof of this proposition, which was 350 years in coming, relied on ideas from two distant branches of mathematics: modular forms and the study of rational points on elliptic curves. I will not try to define those terms here, but Frenkel most certainly does make the attempt. He is never content merely to report what he sees from the mountaintops of mathematics; he wants you to climb up there with him and have a look around for yourself.
I admire this intrepid approach, but I also worry that some readers will not be prepared for the rigors of the journey. In his preface Frenkel writes:
Mathematics directs the flow of the universe, lurks behind its shapes and curves, holds the reins of everything from tiny atoms to the biggest stars. This book is an invitation to this rich and dazzling world. I wrote it for readers without any background in mathematics. If you think that math is hard, that you won't get it, if you are terrified by math, but at the same time curious whether there is something there worth knowing—then this book is for you.
Regrettably, I can't fully endorse this invitation to neophytes and mathophobes. Those who are frightened of mathematics or hostile to it are not the ideal readers for Love and Math. Although Frenkel is a gifted tour guide and explainer, he knows the territory so well that he often misjudges how easily newcomers can get lost in the wilderness. Nonetheless, readers who come equipped with some level of interest and enthusiasm—and maybe their own compass—will have a splendid time.
Frenkel is passionate about his subject. In 2009 he wrote and acted in an erotic film in which a mathematician tattoos "a formula of love" on the body of his beloved. This is not the only occasion when the two nouns in his title come into close conjunction. I was even more taken with a metaphor he uses in the book to explain the concept of monodromy. A conventional definition of this term begins with the idea of a mathematical function that takes on some definite value for every possible position in the plane. Monodromy arises if you traverse a closed path in the plane and on returning to your starting point you discover that the value of the function has changed. Frenkel introduces this notion with the story of Rick and Ilsa, who meet at a party and fall in love. Then they go on a trip around the world. "As they were traveling, their relationship was evolving, so when they came back to the same point in space—their hometown—their love for each other may have changed." This is "the monodromy of love."
Brian Hayes is senior writer for American Scientist. He is the author of Group Theory in the Bedroom, and Other Mathematical Diversions (Hill and Wang, 2008) and Infrastructure: A Field Guide to the Industrial Landscape (W. W. Norton, 2005).

How I Met Tim Schafer
Posted on 1st May 2009 at 09:58 by Joe Martin with 7 comments
Tim is, to put it bluntly, someone I've admired for a long, long time and in the run-up to the EA event I met him at I was a little worried that he might not be as funny and random as all the interviews I'd read with him over the years had led me to expect. Worse, I was worried that I might make a tit of myself in front of him or that I'd just collapse in sweaty palms and schoolgirl giggles.
Thankfully, neither situation happened and while Tim was certainly a lot quieter and more modest than I expected he definitely lived up to my rather presumptuous expectations. I chalk my lack of humiliation up to the fact that I was wearing my lucky Fallout 3 t-shirt.
