Mark Hughes was unveiled as the new Stoke manager today and admitted he had a point to prove after his failure at Queens Park Rangers.
Hughes was sacked in November after Rangers failed to win any of their opening 12 Premier League games despite spending big last summer.
But the Welshman is annoyed by criticism of his 11-month reign and despite admitting to mistakes he claims he deserved more time and said the high turnover of managers at Loftus Road has harmed the club's progress.
"In recent months, people have wanted to define my managerial career on the basis of 12 games at the beginning of last season," said Hughes at a press conference at Stoke's training ground. "I understand that but maybe that gives me more motivation to prove people wrong. I have kept my counsel for six months. I have listened to what people have said and I will use that as a motivation to do well for Stoke."
Asked if he had any regrets about his QPR spell, Hughes replied: "Not at all. It was difficult and we touched on the fact that a lot of managers have gone in there and found it difficult.
"Their turnover of managers not only in the last 18 months or so but historically has been too high for a consistent level and longevity which they need.
"It was difficult and mistakes were made. I made mistakes which I'll learn from and it was a difficult time. I felt I was given the task of keeping them in the Premier League which thankfully I was able to do. I was given 17 games to do that and I was able to achieve that, 12 games later I Iost my job which was understandable.
"We didn't get the results in that period and that's the regret I have. Given more time I would have been able to turn it around as I showed. It was a difficult situation with a lot of changes. If we're honest with ourselves we tried to run before we can walk but from my point of view it's all about the here and now."
Hughes has signed a three-year contract and succeeds Tony Pulis following his departure last week.
One Stoke supporter has already staged a protest against the appointment, driving around Stoke in a van with a "Hughes out" banner.
But the board were impressed by the work Hughes did prior to QPR with the 49-year-old almost guiding Wales to Euro 2004. He was appointed Blackburn manager later that year and had three successive top-10 finishes before leaving Ewood Park after four years to take over at Manchester City.
Hughes lasted 18 months before being sacked and replaced by Roberto Mancini in 2009. He then led Fulham to eighth in 2010-11 but resigned after just one season at Craven Cottage before taking over as QPR manager.
"I am delighted to get the opportunity and I am really grateful," said Hughes. "They have looked beyond my last position and taken my career as a whole. The clubs I have been involved in before, the likes of Blackburn and Fulham, I felt I did a good job for and there are similarities in those clubs with the solidity of the ownership. That reassures me because you need that to be successful on the field."
Stoke chairman Peter Coates said that Hughes was first choice to take over.
"We had lots of enquiries about the job, including some very interesting names, but we decided Mark Hughes was a fit for us," said Hughes. "His record speaks for itself. He has done excellently by anyone's standards. He is also a thoughtful, intelligent man with an intense desire to win."
Hughes will be joined by his regular backroom staff of Mark Bowen and Eddie Niedzwiecki.Reuse content

Chad Mirkin: Thinking Big
Chad A. Mirkin is a giant in the realm of the very, very small. He's the head of Northwestern University's International Institute of Nanotechnology in Evanston, Ill.,, one of the premier nanoscience research centers in the world, with $350 million in funding and infrastructure at its disposal. He's the winner of the highly regarded Feynman Prize and the world's No. 1 cited nanoresearcher, according to the Nanomedicine Lab Registry. He holds more than 300 patents and is a Northwestern professor of chemistry, medicine, and materials science and engineering.
All of those accomplishments, however, haven't amounted to a hill of beans for his investors. Mirkin took the first company he co-founded, Nanosphere (NSPH), public last fall. The startup uses minute particles of gold to detect specific genes and proteins involved in human diseases. Shares opened at $14, leapt to $22 a few days later—and then began drifting lower. The stock slipped to less than $7 in early October.
The initial public offering succeeded in netting the company more than $100 million and gave Mirkin himself a few million on paper. But the experience highlighted how difficult it is to take concepts and techniques at the extreme cutting edge of science and turn them into something marketable. Indeed, Nanosphere has yet to make a profit. It lost $18.5 million through the first half of 2008, after a $53.1 million loss in 2007. But Mirkin isn't worried. "This is a company that is in a marathon not a sprint," he says. "It's got a tremendous number of technologies that have been licensed from Northwestern, all of which can lead to important advantages in diagnostics."
In one regard, at least, Nanosphere's future does look bright. Unlike many other biotech-related firms, the Northbrook (Ill.) company has a real product to sell. It has received approval from the U.S. Food & Drug Administration for a genetic sensitivity test to the blood-thinner warfarin, known under its commercial name Coumadin. It also has tests in advanced development for cystic fibrosis, influenza, and human papillomavirus. The company hopes its assays will be available within three years and estimates the new markets could be worth $1 billion altogether.
Mirkin, 44, is far from the stereotype of a lab nerd. Tanned and wearing a white button-down shirt with rolled-up sleeves, he is genial as he talks about working with objects no more than a couple of hundred atoms across. Raised in Meyersdale, Pa., about 90 miles southeast of Pittsburgh, Mirkin went to Dickinson College in Carlisle, Pa., with the thought of becoming a doctor. He changed his mind after observing his first surgery, a child having her cleft pallet repaired. The operation, he recalls thinking, "is the most repulsive thing I've seen in my life." A summer research program turned him on to chemistry instead.
He earned a PhD in chemistry from Pennsylvania State University in 1989 and became an assistant professor at Northwestern two years later. Mirkin made his name by inventing dip-pen nanolithography in 1999, a technology that allows scientists to build everything from highly miniaturized electronic devices to protein nanoarrays that test for diseases like HIV at much higher speeds and sensitivities than conventional diagnostics. In 2000 he took over as director of the Institute of Nanotechnology. "Chad Mirkin is just a star; he's exceptionally smart and exceedingly clever," says Joseph DeSimone, director of the National Cancer Nanotechnology Center at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. "Chad is just sort of an icon nationally in that regard."
Mirkin confesses he is enthralled by nano. "Everything old becomes new when you miniaturize it," he says, noting that gold changes color when it's miniaturized, turning to red or green.
"The fun part of science is making a material that the planet has never seen before. It's a drug—you keep coming back for more."
Money Challenges
The business side has been less fun. Raising money has been a constant challenge. He got $50 million for Nanosphere from Chicago's Lurie Investments. Once the company grew to 100 people, Bain Capital of Boston chipped in $47 million.
Mirkin still serves on the board of directors of Nanosphere but has turned it over to professional managers, led by Chief Executive William P. Moffitt III. Meantime, Mirkin is busy starting and developing other companies like his second venture, NanoInk. Its focus is commercializing dip-pen nanolithography (DPN) and nanoscopic labeling schemes, which are currently being used by pharmaceutical companies to etch minute ID information on individual pills to fight counterfeiting. In addition, DPN and the Nscriptor tool based upon it are used by researchers to create arrays of proteins and genes consisting of thousands of nanoscopic spots that can be used to develop powerful new disease detection systems for medical doctors, to create and study tiny circuitry where the individual components are made of molecules, and to uncover some of the secrets of important processes like cell differentiation and viral infectivity. He and his venture partners have helped build the company up to about 50 employees, though there are no immediate plans for an IPO.
Back in the lab, his research group is working on creating nanoscale compounds that would travel to and enter tumor cells in the body and selectively kill them without causing the adverse side effects of conventional cancer medication. Though he insists he's more a researcher than an entrepreneur, his business experience has given him a new perspective on his lab work. "I think it's made me a better scientist," he says. "I realize how big of a gap there is between a discovery made at the bench and all that has to happen before it becomes a commercial product."

You have not specified any equation in your post. You have set
the variable eqns to a list of expressions. Nor is it clear what
it is you are attempting to achieve.
You say you want a list of *variables* but do not specify any
relationships between the variables you want and the expressions
you start with. In your example, the part following "to give..."
shows things of the form x[1] which is the function evaluated at
1, not a variable.
If you provide more clarity as to what you are attempting to do
I am sure you will get useful feedback here.

Commitment to Technology Expansion Cal Poly Pomona has chosen the tick@lab software application as the primary tool for administration of the Institutional Review Board at the university. This application will assist with increased efficiency and quality of data collection used to ensure the safety of the human subjects. It will mitigate additional risk utilizing audit trailing capabilities to ensure appropriate process and procedure mandated by the university. Mr. Bruce W. Kennedy, Compliance Associate (ACUC & IRB) states " the selection of a technology partner is critical to our success." Bruce goes on to say "with the increase of both human and animal studies here, the amount of oversight and compliance required by the regulatory agencies can be daunting. Without the use of technology to help administer these programs, it would certainly increase the time to approve and manage the studies. By using the tick@lab solution we intend on reducing compliance risk, time, and also the cost to administer the research efforts here at Cal Poly Pomona. We believe it will make it easier for PIs, too." Mr. Andreas Staubi, President and CEO of a-tune software, Inc. states: " Research facilities are under considerable pressure to meet the demands of regulatory agencies around the world. They are required to increase their productivity while maintaining programs that must remain compliant with these agencies. What is amazing, this is expected during a time where they are faced with reduced financial and human resources. The only way I can see to attack these problems and achieve desired results is with technology."

Tory peer Lord Tugendhat, whose past directorships include Abbey National, Blue Circle and Eurotunnel, has called for greater shareholder power to curb executive pay.
"The three-year gap between AGMs for approving a board's remuneration policy is too long; it should be voted on annually," he says. "Secondly, a simple majority is not sufficient; two-thirds would be more appropriate. Thirdly, there is too much deliberate opacity in too many top-of-the-line remuneration packages. What is at stake and what is required to achieve it needs to be comprehensible."
He adds: "The activities of those Father Christmas figures, the remuneration consultants, must be curbed. At the very least, they should be hired by the non-executive remuneration committee, with no input from the executives, and they should on no account be permitted to carry out, at the same time, any other services for the company in question."
Quite right! Next time, name and shame these pay culprits, Lord T!

Speedy Scott left King a bag of nerves
Bank of England Governor Sir Mervyn King gave a generous eulogy to economist and Labour party adviser Derek Scott, his friend and fellow Aston Villa fan, who died earlier in thethis summer.
Sir Mervyn recalled in his address how the two would go to matches together but by the time they arrived he would be a bag of nerves, not because of the impending result but because Scott was such a fast driver.
"We would travel together and the journey from London to Birmingham raced by, partly because of the speed at which Derek drove," he said.
"Derek took physical training seriously. He would tell me about his visits to the gym in the early morning when he would often see Gordon Brown on adjacent machines. Gordon was as unforthcoming in the gym as when later he became Chancellor and Derek worked in No. 10."
King praised Scott and his "horror of the conventional wisdom" in Government. He explained: "Derek was fearless and that came at a major cost to the role he could have played in public life.
"Derek's honesty made others reluctant, and eventually unwilling, to use his abilities in either chamber of the Houses of Parliament. That was our loss."
Is Sir Mervyn hinting that Gordon Brown vetoed Scott becoming a Labour MP or peer?
City Spy hopes Sir Mervyn plans to publish his memoirs after he steps down next year. They could be very revealing.
* Flamboyant singer Paloma Faith has become one of Sony Music's biggest home-grown hits. But Colin Barlow, head of Sony's RCA label, revealed the London singer only recorded her new hit album, Fall To Grace, after being presented with some hard-hitting market research. "She sat in the room and was told what people did and didn't like about her," Barlow said at a briefing on artist investment held by trade body, IFPI. "They thought she was a bit too frivolous, and burlesque — a bit of a joke. We got her to realise that she is an incredible artist, who ought to be taken seriously as a narrator-songwriter. We put her in the studio with producer Nellee Hooper [U2, Madonna] and she came out with a record that will sell a million copies."
* This week could prove pivotal in the race to be Bank of England Governor as the leading internal candidate, Deputy Governor Paul Tucker, testifies to the Parliamentary Commission on Banking Standards on Thursday. Also set for a grilling is Chancellor George Osborne on Wednesday as the Commission scrutinises the draft Banking Reform Bill. Sounds like good sport.
* Tesco claims that after Monty Python star and travel writer Michael Palin's Brazilian BBC travel programme began, the supermarket saw a 600% rise in sales of Brazilian food such as manioc mix, yoki bread, guava paste and cashew juice. But City Spy is yet to hear whether I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here has prompted a rise in delicacies involving spiders and bugs.Reuse content

Man, these West Coast games are killing me. While I did manage to stay awake into the wee hours of the morning to watch the Celtics, I also managed to pass out shortly after the game. Thus, here's a late edition of my thoughts on the game, which really wasn't much of a contest after the first quarter.
The C's, also known as that aging bunch of alleged "has-beens," stayed up past their bedtime to dominate the Portland Trailblazers, 96-76.
"People can call us old, call us whatever," Rivers said. "We're just going to keep trying to get better."
The team used an old philosophy that helped them win the 2008 NBA Title: defense. It wasn't just the blocked shots and the steals (though, they were helpful), it was also the suffocating perimeter defense, the disrupted passing lanes, and the dominance under the basket that helped the C's hold the Blazers to season lows in points (76) and team field goal percentage (22-68, 33.8%), and a franchise-low in team assists (7).
The Blazers were down by seven points at the end of the first quarter, and 18 at the half. But, Rudy Fernandez's three-point play to open the fourth quarter shrunk the Celtics' lead to nine points, and thoughts of another improbable fourth quarter collapse began to creep in.
Then, on consecutive plays, Fernandez was called for a charge on made baskets (both were taken by Glen "Big Baby" Davis), and the momentum completely swung in the Celtics favor. Ray Allen then hit two three-pointers to push the lead back up to 15 points.
While we're always quick to point out his expiring contract, Ray Allen is a human, is still a really good player, and now seems to be playing with an edge. He's n0t Theo Ratliff, people! (side note: Ratliff and his $11 million expiring contract was a primary piece in the Kevin Garnett trade).
With the Celtics short on guards after the Eddie House-Nate Robinson trade (that also lost the team J.R. Giddens), Doc Rivers was forced to play Ray for 39 minutes. He responded with a team-high 21 points on 9-14 shooting (3-7 from downtown). In fact, he's had four 20-point games in his last seven overall, while he had just four of those games in all of January.
Meanwhile, captain Paul Pierce finished with just nine points on 3-9 shooting, so it makes Ray's effort even more impressive.
Think those trade rumors helped motivate Allen?
"Ray is going to get traded tomorrow," Rivers cracked. "We're going to keep saying it so he can keep playing well."
It's pretty simple in the NBA. Most battles are won in the paint, and Friday night's contest was no different. The men in the middle for the Celtics dominated the men in the middle for the Blazers.
Decimated by injuries among their big men, the Blazers were playing without Joel Pryzbilla and Greg Oden up front, but the team still employs LaMarcus Aldridge and new addition Marcus Camby. No dice.
Aldridge had a strong game with 15 points and nine boards, but shot just 7-16 from the field (which isn't very good for a big guy). Camby, meanwhile, finished with two points on 1-5 shooting with seven boards and three blocks. Altogether, Portland shot just 8-22 (36.6%) from within eight feet of the basket.
It's not supposed to be a charity for the other team when you go to the free throw line! The Celtics were a pitiful 12-23 from the line, which means their 20-point margin of victory should have been even greater.
I shouldn't direct my rage at the whole team. Without Kendrick Perkins taking foul shots, the team was 9-15 (60%), which still isn't great. Meanwhile, Perk was a Ben Wallace-like 3-8 from the line, good for 37.5%. Tony Allen's 1-4 didn't help either. Come on people!
The Celtics, winners of three straight games, will take on the Nuggets in Denver on Sunday before finally returning home to the East Coast. The newly acquired Nate Robinson will make his Celtics debut in against none other than the Knicks at the TD Garden on Tuesday night.

K.C. – You just have to use your handy dandy recorder (VHS, DVR, Tivo) and get some sleep. Then you can watch the game in the morning and buzz through all those annoying commercials. I consider my DVR to be the greatest thing since sliced bread. It makes watching golf (5 minute commercials every 10 minutes), boxing (one minute commercials every 3 minutes), and every other sport so much more pleasant. Go for it!
Nice to see the old boys playing so hard. Who would have predicted 3 straight on the west coast? Let's have an all star break every couple of weeks.
By the way, how could you fail to mention the amazing in bound pass from my favorite NBA star, Brian Scalabrine? Yes, he's truly a master at all the "little things" that don't appear in the stat sheet. He should have been credited with 2 points for Portland on that play.
Yeah that probably would've been a good idea, Ken, haha.
Let's see if they can take a fourth straight out West against the Nuggets today! That would be a huge win coming back home.
Yeah, all I have to say about Scal is that he has a $4 million expiring contract, so enjoy the show while it lasts.

Ive been wanting to procharge my chevelle for a while and ive done a little research on blowthrough carbs. Only question I have is. How is the driveability and reliability of this type of setup. I drive my car mostly on the street where I am at less than half throttle and don't accelerate very hard. I have read with blowthrough carbs you have to put farely large jets to keep them from running lean under boost and that this causes it to run extremely rich at part throttle and low boost. Is this true. Ive already lost one engine due to washed out rings and fuel in the oil from running it too rich. Can anyone shed some light on this. Thank you.
i just had a crazy thought...with the self tuning throttle body fuel injection thats now available... why not talk to the manufacturers of that..see if they have attempted a blow thru version with either a MAP sensor from a turbo charged application.. so it handles both positive and negative pressures.. similar features are available in fuel pressure regulators.. will it all work with the procharger???for another forum here.. i came up with a bolt on device for allowing the procharger to overrun while shifting...without needing a special damper or very much in mods if any to the crank sprocket what do you think??
Ive thought of the bolt on throttle body's but everyone ive talked to that has owned one. Did not like them. They are a great idea and theoretically would work great but on the vehicle they just don't perform. That's what ive been told. And ive thought of a multiport injection setup as well but I don't like the look of wire running all over the engine to various sensors and injectors. Also heard that the fuel being introduced to the air before the intake such as with a carb or with a throttle body. The fuel acts like an intercooler and cools the air charge before it enters the combustion chamber and with fuel injection there's not enough time for the fuel to cool the air charge. So that's why I don't want to go with Multiport injection.
thats interesting... the current issue of chevy high performance has a 66 nova on the cover with exhaust zoomies out the front fenders... yep.. burn the paint right off the door if you open the doors... but who cares about that.. its a 4 page article of a procharger on a port fuel injected motor.. with a few mods that put it into the ... well.. read the article.. its a dark green car.. i have not picked up the issue.. but i followed the complete build on another forum ..
thats interesting on the fuel sprayed into the intake port not having enough time to cool the incoming air charge...hmm.. i will have to think about that.. shame i don't have an instrumented dyne or access to one to drill some holes in the intake and ports to introduce some thermometers into the air stream...you might want to post your questions over at the chevyhiperformance forums.. there is a lot more people there currently for some reason.. passwords and user names are the same.. as its all on this server..there is also gmhightechperformance forums also on this site... i don't visit there often as the members there really have their forum answers covered..

"Todd Starnes tackles timely issues with a good dose of humor in his well-sourced book that proves the culture war is far more serious than most of us know — or admit."
"Every once in a while a songwriter, poet, scriptwriter or author pens something that gives voice to what I was thinking and feeling but couldn't quite put into words. TODD STARNES is that writer and this book is the voice…"

text: It is against the law to have sex in a public toilet and you risk being arrested for cottaging regardless of whether you are being discreet or not. For example, having sex in a cubicle behind closed doors is still a sexual offence. If you still go cottaging you need to be very careful, as police or others can regularly patrol toilets, particularly in train stations, shopping centres and parks. Look out for warnings posted on websites such as Squirt. You should also be careful cruising in other venues used by the public, such gyms, swimming pools and saunas; if you are discovered or a complaint is made you could be banned from the venue or even arrested.

Fighting in Gaza continues. The Israel Defense Force(IDF) is blasting away at the only power plant in Gaza. Planes are targeting homes of Hamas leaders so if one has the misfortune to be related to anyone in the Hamas high command, rest assured when they return home tonight to their home,it will be a pile of rubble. Hamas insists on using concrete, which could build homes or businesses, for the purpose of constructing tunnels through which dedicated men will run in hope of coming out the other side to find an Israeli who could be killed or kidnapped. Most probably the number of dead in Gaza will rise to 1100, and then to 1200, and who knows the end total. After all, the innocent who die are simply, "collateral damage."
There are times when I wonder about our Neanderthal predecessors. I wonder if they engaged in war, I wonder if they took joy in slaughtering the innocent. It increasingly becomes clear to me that Neanderthals simply could not grasp the mental outlook possessed by these weird Cro-Magnons. I suspect Neanderthals simply were only interested in killing animals in order to eat. They never got into the idea that a Neanderthal would experience joy and wonder by murdering other Neanderthals. Imagine encountering beings who looked somewhat like them, and these beings believed devotedly in the concept that life was only worth living if one could murder other life forms?
So, fighting will continue in Gaza. People will die. At some point, the fighting will experience a -PAUSE. In reality, throughout the human Cro-Magnon experience it has always been a -PAUSE- before the killing resumes and life gets back to being normal. Reality? The killing will NEVER end. It just goes on and on. We Cro-Magnons wiped out the Neanderthals. If things go according to form, we Cro-Magnons will eventually wipe out all the Cro-Magnons and leave this planet to–???

I CAN'T TELL YOU how long we have been hounding poor Miranda Skoczek about shooting her home. I'm pretty sure it's been a longer campaign than any other home we've ever chased! A couple of months ago, our persistence eventually paid off, and we finally scheduled a time to shoot the beautiful art deco apartment Miranda shares with her son, Harper, in St. Kilda!
Miranda and Harper's apartment is a rental, and they've been here just under two years. The apartment block dates back to the 1930's – which is evident in its generous proportions (they don't build apartments like they used to!), and subtle details such as the ribbed glass internal doors, and original hardwood floorboards. With two bedrooms, generous kitchen and living rooms but sadly no outdoor space, one of Miranda and Harper's favourite things about this apartment is its proximity to the St Kilda Botanical Gardens, which is only a short walk away, and acts as their backyard.
Miranda is a character. Her home, much like her artwork, is eclectic and colour saturated, drawing on a myriad of cultural influences, from middle eastern textiles to modern Italian design, and everything inbetween. 'It's really an interior testament to my love of combining stories and histories' says Miranda. 'Decades old rugs serve as platforms to sleek contemporary lines, contemporary Australian art hangs alongside antique folk art imagery. It's an interior of opposites, old and new, expensive and inexpensive, a carnival of colour settled by key furniture pieces in white. It works because it's never contrived or forced, every piece I own is because I love it, not because it's fashion… although I do love fashion!'.
Since her early 20's Miranda has developed a passion for collecting art and Modernist furniture. 'I place alot of importance on my home being my sanctuary, a space that inspires and nourishes me' she says. That said, Miranda can be quite an impulsive decorator! When she sees something which speaks to her (see – giant gold urn in bedroom below!) she's only too happy to forgo grocery shopping for a month in the interests of acquiring it!
Interestingly, only one of Miranda's own paintings has found a home here, in her son Harper's room. However, the rest of the local art community is well represented! Miranda's fledgling art collection includes works by Rhys Lee, Kirra Jamison, Jacqui Stockdale and Leila Jeffreys, to name a few. Amongst many treasured possessions, her Rhys Lee painting from 2004 is a firm favourite – 'it was my 2nd significant art purchase, my first being another piece by Lee from 2000' says Miranda. 'Both I still look at today and am reminded how I suffered on Baked Beans for weeks in order to secure them!'
HUGE THANKS to Miranda (and Harper!) for sharing their gorgeous little pad with us today. Finally!
