...where it's torn. It's easy to compare with the other ankle. And there's a great test we do by squeezing the calf and watching the ankle move; on the good side, it wiggles up and down when we squeeze. On the torn side, there's no motion at all. Yes, there is an occasional partial tear that might be harder to diagnose, but in the vast majority of cases, an orthopedist who simply looks, listens and feels will make the diagnosis of Achilles-tendon rupture - with confidence.

...small Scottish and Welsh nationalist parties have teamed up to introduce a motion that will be debated next week demanding immediate elections. They won't prevail. Labour dissidents want to oust Brown well before elections are called. Support has been steadily coalescing around Health Secretary Alan Johnson as his replacement, but there are other contenders too.

So about 18 months ago he started up Project Natal...
...majority, science is solely about answers—the material that’s sandwiched between the covers of their textbooks. It’s understandable. For the most part, we teach science as if it were a technical trade: Learn these facts about cells. Memorize these equations describing motion. Balance these reactions that underlie oxidation. And then demonstrate competence by passing an exam. With this lopsided focus on the end points of research, the scientific explorations themselves receive the most minimal attention...
