A fascinating aspect of the two dimensional
world is the possible existence of anyons, particles which obey 'fractional'
statistics different from fermionic and bosonic statistics. In this colloquium,
following an introduction to fractional particles in the context of quantum
Hall systems, some of the tantalizing experiments for detecting the fractional
charge of these particles will be described.
Probes of fractional statistics in these systems will be discussed,
drawing from analogies with the bosonic behavior of light studied by Hanbury
Brown and Twiss in the 1950's as well as in the more recent beam-splitter
settings in quantum optics. Finally, the exciting prospect of detecting
fractional statistics in the context of superconductors will be explored.

Not sure I understand what you mean...?
Sry, I'm sleepy, I was refering to adding the "Guts Kill Roster"-...thing to the actual list too, you know, there's the list with all the manga covers and such, but the "Guts Kill Roster" on top of it is gone. Might have been nice to just keep it in that place, (pretty trite, I know, but I was just trying to be somehow constructive )...was that understandable now ?
Haha, true that How about adding a pic of Guts, when sorting the list in chronological order? So it would be a new pic for each stage of his life instead of the volume covers, maybe?
Great job really immpresive! Just a quick one I didn't see a count for the possesed horse in vol. 17? If I missed something apologies in advance
Do you have them listed by vol/page?
Then also the apostle chasing them which Schierke blasts its neck with hairs and then Serpico slashes along his head after which he collapses and I think is never seen again.
I am sure he can easily kill more then 100 with his skills these days. i just wonder how many can he kill before he collapses in one battle. And lets choose an army of human merceneries. I would think now he can kill 1000. With all of his gadgets and power of the Armor.
is Rochine dead? I remember her flying away thinking about dinner.
Does Ganishka's apparation count as a kill?

The UK has urged the Sudanese authorities to bring to justice protesters who attacked the British and German embassies amid a wave of angry Muslim protests over a film lampooning the prophet Muhammad.
Secretary William Hague said the Government had raised "serious
concerns" with the Sudanese Ambassador to London over the incident in
Khartoum, when demonstrators broke down a perimeter wall.
No staff were injured but the German embassy, in the same compound as the British, was torched. "We
have spoken to the Sudanese Ambassador in London (Abdullahi Hamad Ali
Alazreg) and raised our serious concerns that this attack was able to
take place," Mr Hague said. "It is the responsibility of the Sudanese
authorities to ensure that effective protection is provided to
diplomatic premises at all times. I condemn in the strongest possible
terms today's attack and call on the Sudanese authorities to ensure that
those involved are brought to justice."
Protests spread across much of the Muslim world on Friday over the low-budget anti-Islam film produced in America. Demonstrators
scaled the walls of US embassies in Tunisia and Sudan and police in
Cairo prevented stone-throwing protesters reaching the US Embassy,
firing tear gas and deploying armoured vehicles in a fourth day of
clashes in the Egyptian capital. The protests spread to about 20
countries, including Indonesia, Malaysia, India, Afghanistan and
Pakistan, but the most violent demonstrations took place in the Middle
Earlier this week the US ambassador to Libya, Chris Stevens, was among four Americans killed in an attack in Benghazi. As
their bodies were returned on Friday night, US President Barack Obama
admitted their deaths led many to question American "idealism". "They
embodied it - the courage, the hope and, yes, the idealism. That
fundamental American belief that we can leave this world a little better
than before," he said. "I know that this awful loss, the terrible
images of recent days, the pictures we're seeing again today, have
caused some to question this work. And there is no doubt that these are
difficult days. In moments such as this, so much anger and violence,
even the most hopeful among us must wonder."
Mr Hague said the
Foreign Office's travel advice had been updated to urge British
nationals to avoid demonstrations or large gatherings of people.

Place the rice in a pot, with a lid and fill with 3 cups water. Stir to moisten the rice, then drain and repeat until the water runs clear. When all excess starch and impurities have been removed in this way, let the rice stand to completely drain for 15 minutes. In the meantime, wash and dry the pot to have it ready to cook the rice. Return the cleansed rice to the pot and add 2 1/3 cups water. Cover and bring to a vigorous boil over medium-high heat. Do not remove the lid during any stage of the cooking process. Reduce heat to medium and let cook for 5 minutes. Reduce heat to low and let cook for 15 minutes, still leaving lid undisturbed. Remove rice from heat and let stand with lid still on pot for 5 more minutes.
While the rice is cooking, make the vinegar mixture. In a small saucepan, combine the vinegar, salt, and miso over medium heat, stirring until the ingredients are integrated. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
Separate the grains of rice with a wooden spatula and transfer to a shallow bowl, preferably wooden. Stir in enough of the vinegar to make the rice stick together in clumps when you squeeze some in the palm of your hand. Do not add too much vinegar mixture; it is better to have some left over than to over-moisten the whole batch of rice.
Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and allow to cool to room temperature before using in a sushi recipe.
Note: This sushi rice recipe can be used in conjunction with the recipes for the elements of the Bento Box of sushi hors d'oeuvres made on the episode which included: Traditional Osaka Style Sushi, Rice Balls, Maki, and Nigiri Sushi.
Yield: 6 3/4 cups vinegared sushi rice for use in sushi recipes, enough for approximately 6 servings of sushi depending on the recipe

Craig McGruder tilts his head to hear a plea for help in the heart of Watts.
"I've got trouble," says a guy who used to run with the Grape Street Crips. "Been thinking about doing some dirt. Thinking about robbing so I can get my kids the school supplies they need."
McGruder understands trouble. He'd grown up with most of the men meeting in this white-walled community center on a midsummer night. Some had been dealers who'd sold him crack when he was at his lowest, skulking around Jordan Downs, where he'd been born in 1962 and never much left.
"You can't do it," McGruder says, surprising himself because he's always tended to be quiet. "You got too much to lose. If you get caught and locked up, how can you be there for your kids?"

The heartbroken mother of a vulnerable Chesterfield teenager who hanged himself in a custody cell has criticised staff for failing to help save his life.
Bolton coroner's court heard how Jake Hardy, 17, of Stonegravels, Chesterfield, hanged himself on January 20, 2012, while he was serving a sentence for affray and assault at Hindley youth offenders' institution in Wigan.
An inquest jury concluded he died four days later as a result of his own deliberate act but found multiple failings by YOI staff contributed to his death after he had been bullied by inmates.
Jake's mother Liz Hardy, 50, said: "It was horrendous. They failed all the way through. There were so many warning signs which were ignored. They could have saved his life."
The inquest heard how during the evening in question Jake complained about bullying and CCTV showed detainees kicking his door and shouting through his inspection window. Jake refused to go out because he had not been allowed to phone family, according to the inquest, and Jake had been observed shortly before he was found hanged.
However, shortcomings identified by the jury last week included a failure to protect Jake and investigate the bullying. They found Jake's death was contributed to by a failure to give him enough support, record his suicidal thoughts and reports of verbal abuse, and a failure to move him to another cell.
Other failures included not letting him use the phone, not protecting him from inmates or reviewing the risk of self-harm and the number of checks.
The inquest heard Jake, who had learning difficulties and depression, had previously cut his wrist and complained about verbal abuse.
His mother had also warned he had been thinking about taking his life. Jake left a note for his mother, discovered after his hanging, stating he could not cope with people in prison even staff whom he had asked to "do their job properly".
Ms Hardy, who feels Jake should have been better monitored, protected and moved to a cell without ligature points, added: "I didn't expect them to pamper him. I just wanted them to keep him safe, warm and fed and they couldn't do that. It's been a nightmare. Life without Jake is terrible. He was such a gentle giant."
Ms Hardy is considering civil action and after praising her legal team and charity INQUEST is campaigning for changes to prevent youth custody deaths.
A Prison Service spokesman said: "Our sympathies are with Jake Hardy's family and friends."
The service stated it will consider findings to see what can be learned and there have been efforts to make changes including bulletins. The Prisons and Probation Ombudsman has criticised the service for a lack of care for vulnerable youngsters. Jake leaves father Gary and three sisters.

WASHINGTON (AP) – Lawyers are arguing over DNA testing in the case of a District of Columbia man charged with killing a tourist from Colorado and assaulting two others.
A lawyer for Michael Davis is objecting to prosecutors' efforts to analyze DNA evidence, saying she can't consult with her client because he's been declared incompetent for trial.
Prosecutors asked the lawyer, Dana Page, whether she preferred evidence to be tested by the D.C. police department or at an independent laboratory. They said they'd proceed with testing at the police lab unless they received a response by Tuesday.
Davis is the brother of NFL football players Vernon and Vontae Davis. He's charged in the April killing of Gary Dederichs and with assaulting two others in what authorities have called random and unprovoked attacks.

Insurance Fraud Investigators Group is a Members' Organisation dedicated to the detection and prevention of Insurance Fraud. It is a non-profit making organisation created to tackle the growing problem of Insurance Fraud in the UK and disrupt insurance fraudsters.
Members include Insurers, Lawyers, Loss Adjusters, and Investigation Agencies all of whom are committed to preventing Insurance Fraud.
On 1st October 2008 IFIG became one of the first organisations in the UK to be acknowledged by the Government as a 'Specified Anti-Fraud Organisation' under the Serious Crime Act 2007.
Only six anti-fraud organisations have been awarded this status which allows public bodies to share intelligence with IFIG to prevent or detect fraud in general and insurance fraud in particular. IFIG Chairman Rob Smith-Wright states :
"We know fraudsters involve themselves in many aspects of criminality and we are very keen to disrupt them by working closely with organisations across the public and private sectors.
IFIG now has over 320 company members covering the vast majority of the insurance industry and insurance fraud investigators. The SAFO status awarded to IFIG by the Home Office in 2008 has enabled IFIG to build upon our relationships with the public sector and law enforcement agencies, and has supported our key aim of working together to detect, disrupt and prevent insurance fraud."
This website is designed to encourage anyone to report insurance fraud that has occurred or may occur within the UK. You can also find out more information about Insurance Fraud and IFIG as a counter fraud organisation.
Membership benefits include: Access to industry wide counter-fraud contacts, Quarterly seminars addressed by leading counter-fraud professionals, and Intelligence sharing across members via a DPA and NIM compliant structure.Apply online...

Since reading Global Warming's Terrifying New Math and a few articles such as Earth facing imminent environmental 'tipping point' says report, where scientists plainly state "all ecosystems are nearing sudden and irreversible change that will not be conducive to human life" I've gone through my own personal tipping point. For years I've been among the "alarmed by climate change" population segment. However, now that the gloves are off, I can no longer compartmentalize.
Every topic and image make a connection to the overwhelming Ecological/Moral crisis into which we've begun to wade. I see a zombie image, and join Dark Atheists to post my fantasy of a Zombie Apocalypse political action against the Corporate Executives of Climate Change. I see an article on Teen gratitude and feel compelled to post about psychologists being out of touch with climate realities teens face. More and more, when I welcome new members, it makes sense to invite them to Eco-Logical, even if they've expressed no green values in their About Me.
In short, something has shifted inside of me, realigned.

Ok Jonathan, what is a valid argument form?
Whether global warming is real or not real, the best strategy depends on how accurately we read and believe or not believe the evidence.
With Pascal's Wager, success or failure of a belief depends on how trustworthy the beliefs in myths, stories, and traditions are.
In climate change's wager,
if global warming is real, and we believe it is not real, worst case scenario is as you describe.
If global warming is not real, and we believe it is real, we spend a lot of money, time and effort unnecessarily.
If global warming is real, and we believe it is real, our ancestors will call us prophetic.
Is the belief real or not real? Is Climate Change is real or not real?
Climate Change is Real Climate Change is Not Real
Belief C.C. is Real R+R=Prepared R+NR=Unnecessarily ready
Belief C.C. is Not real NR+R=Unprepared NR+NR=Unnecessarily ready
Is that the best strategy to convince people, or the best strategy to make a rational argument? Because, believe me, if all you wanted to do was to convince people, then we could take a page from Glenn Beck and goad people into the fear of the apocalypse. But whether you choose to do so, the fact is each of these best or worst cases are not equally supported; what someone imagines might be true is not the same as what will be true. You can only present someone a choice such as this if there was evidence that the probability of each choice is comparable. Pascal's Wager not only simplifies a complex situation into a simple yes/no dichotomy -- a false choice; it also makes the argument that we should always take the action that sounds better without considering probability. It's like a bastard stepchild of the game theory. It's the logic of it that fails, regardless of your belief of the underlying question.
A valid argument form is to derive a conclusion from sound premises. If you want to make a point on global warming, then I'd say argue the facts, not resort to cheap tactics like a religious missionary with a new cause.
Good point about Pascals Wager, Dan!
I haven't seen any CO2 sequestration technology that promises to scale up even close to what's needed yet. Most of the places they hope to store CO2 are limited and/or present problems. I don't see inventions as a feasible way out, mostly because of the scale of the problem. Generating fertilizer to add to farmland is trivial compared to reversing the chemical changes to Earth's atmosphere and oceans. There's just so much more mass involved. Stories about technological fixes are popular because they're magic bullets that promise to postpone or avoid hard choices. It's the easy way out. I don't think it's realistic. It's so much easier to add something in small amounts that makes a huge difference than it is to subtract thousands of tons of something. Business groups are more interested in a product from which they might make profit (tech solutions) than they are in stopping the externalization of risks (upon which their profits depend). So those stories are eagerly spread.
My personal hope is that we'll develop a way to balance productivity with population, by a system of global population control. So if the carrying capacity goes down so will the size of the next generation that needs it. This will require a major shake-up in values, values grounded in evolutionary drives. China succeeded, so it's possible. Technology will be necessary to coordinate, negotiate, and implement planet wide action of this sort, universal participation in an information network. I don't think people will be ready to consider something this radical until the death toll from climate destabilization is so severe everyone's desperate. However, discussing what's happening internationally, in forums such as this, will be an essential early step. If we're not talking, and trying to figure out solutions, everything might collapse into an even worse free-for-all with flying nukes. People have to have a scenario, some hope or plan, to avoid despair. Our conversations are the coming together of a collective intelligence to grapple with our life and death challenge. We can come out of this much better, though the planet will no doubt lose a lot in the process.
I know I repeat myself but we have to hold religious principles and practices to account for being tied to tradition instead of looking realistically at cause and effect of over population.
I feel an overwhelming dread about the future sometimes. I had a dream once where I was on a ship and there was a leak in the bottom, we were going to sink but everyone just kept on carrying on like usual, and my choice was to either jump ship or wait for it to sink. Almost none of my dreams mean anything but that dream was a metaphor for how I feel about the planet.
Feeling our crisis, instead of just intellectually thinking about it, will be a necessary transition for everyone. We won't be able to reinvent ourselves until we take it seriously at the gut level. That darker part of ourselves is reality infiltrating the culturally approved consensus of what reality should be. Every culture holds itself together in part by a shared consensus of what to look at and to what you avert the gaze. Our consensus has been shaped by entertainment and corporate propagandists so much, and it's heavily influenced by the experience of previous generations. The new reality is moving very fast, with unprecedented changes no prior human generation faced. In order to face what's going on and gird our loins, so to speak, we must go through a personal paradigm shift that's scary.
Of course, I don't see the final end of this paradigm shift as all scary and depressing, because in the process of reinventing ourselves as people capable of living in balance with our planet and embracing global justice (everyone has to be part of it), we'll become a mature wiser kind of human being, capable of far greater accomplishments than this pathetic crippled world order can imagine.
Ruth, I perceive current conditions exactly as you so powerfully describe. When you wrote,
"We won't be able to reinvent ourselves until we take it seriously at the gut level."
I recognize how easily it is to be distracted from valid and critical issues by corporate propaganda and time consumers of games (sorry game playing family and friends). However, it takes time to understand current events and their meanings. A wake up will come from proposed austerity measures.
Thanks Ruth.
Ruth, you are so clever with graphics. What is the old saying, "a picture is worth a thousand words?"
Thanks, Joan. My visually rich communication style is based on Paul MacLean's Triune Brain Theory. Since two of our three brains can't read, using text alone to communicate is like sending one third of a message. I make an effort to hotlink illustrations whenever possible, but sometimes resort to Photoshop.
On my goodness, how clever! Did you create this apple/tiger? Thanks for the lead to Paul MacLean's Triune Brain Theory; looks like something I am interested in.
I was illustrating the power of Photoshop. This image is from a tutorial. It's not mine.
I recommend an article by psychotherapist Mary Pipher, Wake Up! Our World Is Dying and We're All in Denial. Dr Pipher shares how she coped with the despair and helplessness of facing climate change realities. It's been helpful to me.

Ah, the first OST is just classic Haneoka Kei (If you've seen PaniPoni Dash or REC, then you'll know what i'm on about.) Though this time around the style of music has gone much more serious - though its easy to tell that if you've been watching the series.
Also - to let you people know, there's a second second coming our way in April.

I posted this translation of a drama cd from the first season of Negima almost 2 years ago.
I noted there were a number of Setsuna/Konoka fans, so I thought I would make them happy by posting the translation.
Personally, I wish they would all stop writing terrible Setsuna/Konoka Fanfiction.

Konoka: (spaced out) Mmmh. We've drank tea and relaxed now. It really does feel like a Sunday, Asuna. Right… Huh?
Setsuna: What's wrong Konoka-ojou sama?
Konoka: I can't find Asuna or Negi-kun. Not even Yue.
Setsuna: Looks like we got separated. Let's look for them.
Konoka: Hm… It's all right, I'm sure if we just wander around we'll meet them again somewhere.
Setsuna: Is that really all right?
Konoka: You think it's not right?
Setsuna: Um, if Konoka-ojousama says so.
Konoka: In any case Secchan, since it's Sunday. Let's go window shopping together.
Setsuna: You mean alone?! TOGETHER!? Um, well… I'm not really comfortable with shopping.
Konoka: You can't say that! Secchan has to dress up sometimes.
Setsuna: If, um Konoka-ojousama says so.
Konoka: Aww. This dress looks good, it might suit Secchan nicely.
Setsuna: This is sort of embarrassing. Which dress are you talking about?
Konoka: Here. This Chinese dress.
Setsuna: You mean this?! Um, well… I don't… I keep getting the image of Kuu fei in my head.
Konoka: Nnh. What about this one?
Setsuna: A maid dress!? Please stop joking with me!
Konoka: But you wore that ShiGi jacket from before.
Setsuna: That's only because Konoka-ojousama was wearing it as well!
Konoka: Um, how about this mini skirt police officer uniform? Ah, I wouldn't mind getting arrested by Secchan in this outfit.
Setsuna: I will arrest your heart! Wha-! What kind of store is this?! Why are there only these sorts of clothing? I really think that Japanese clothing suit me best…
Konoka: Eh? But that sounds so boring! Then why don't you try on this?
Setsuna: Oh this, well this I don't… This! This is a men's suit!
Konoka: I really think, men's clothing suit you, Secchan.
Setsuna: That again?
Konoka: Stop trying to make yourself disappear. Hurry hurry wear it!
Setsuna: Well… If Konoka-ojousama really says so… How do I look?
Konoka: Wow. It really does suit you well, you look so cool.

If you're wondering whether Kinokuniya sells Negima!? OST cds???
Well right now they don't, they wont and i don't think it's likely that they will.....consumer demand isn't enough.
(i've already looked for them at Kinokuniya myself....i hope to be ordering them online as soon i get more moolah.....^^")
Spoiler for Or you can::
Just order them online at cdjapan or simillar

There are marked similarities between the climates of Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas and Brazil. But it will be the "small differences between them that will determine whether Asian soybean rust is a minor or major disease in the United States," said Boyd Padgett.
With the incoming growing season, "we're going to learn a lot," said the Louisiana Extension plant pathologist, who spoke to a packed house at the annual Tri-State Soybean Forum in Dumas, Ark. "Rust will lead the dance for the first year or two. But we're going to find out how to manage it at the same time.
"What I want to talk about specifically is how to identify the disease. This is very important because the disease starts in the lower canopy and will be hard to detect. But if you have a bit of knowledge about what the symptoms look like and what kind of conditions make the disease spread, it might give you some insight into whether you do have a problem. And if you do believe you have a problem with this, do not hesitate to contact your local county Extension agent."
Yield Losses
According to Padgett, here's the worst case scenario: no symptoms on day one of infection, but six days later Asian soybean rust is at the plant top. Thirteen days after infection, defoliation begins, and 27 days after, defoliation is complete.
"If conditions are favorable, this is possible," he said. "However, if the weather isn't right, the disease won't move this fast."
While not downplaying yield losses suffered in other countries due to the rust, Padgett said not enough attention is placed on how those losses were calculated.
"(Brazil has) experienced up to 80 percent yield losses. But the range of their losses is from 10 percent to 80 percent. And these numbers represent situations where the growers did nothing. So, doing nothing in some situations meant losing 10 percent of yield. We lose 10 percent some years in our crop."
In the short period of time it's been in Brazil, farmers have found that rust severity fluctuates from year to year. Padgett said this can eventually play into management strategies.
"If we can learn to identify what years the rust… will be more severe, it'll give us a better handle on managing the disease. It would also give us an opportunity when conditions aren't favorable for the disease. In those years, we can save on inputs used to manage the rust. So I believe such a range of yield losses is actually encouraging."
Legions of lesions
Soybean rust is caused by a fungus — Phakopsora pachyrhizi. "If someone tries to sell you something that kills bacteria — or something other than a fungus — it won't work."
Asian soybean rust usually starts out as a tan or brown spot — or lesion — on a leaf. That spot can be as large as a quarter inch in diameter. However, spots Padgett recently saw in south Louisiana were about an eighth inch in diameter.
Typically, the lesions will show up on bottom leaves and begin working upward. They can, however, be present on the petioles or pods.
"Most of the time, you'll see these symptoms on the lower canopy when the plant goes into a reproductive stage. I'm not saying it can't infect seedlings, but normally it doesn't.
"The lesions usually begin as small water-soaked lesions very similar to bacterial pustules. They can turn gray, brown or tan, depending on the variety. They are usually restricted by leaf veins and are most abundant on the bottom of leaves. That's very characteristic of most rust diseases."
There are two types of lesions.
One is called a "tan" reaction, also classified as a "compatible" reaction. "That means the fungus is more aggressive in those particular lesions, resulting in more spore production.
"The second type is a 'red brown' lesion that is a 'semi-compatible.' These lesions do have spore production, but they aren't as abundant."
The Asian rust organism is an obligate parasite — it must have a living host to survive. Unfortunately, it needs no help to become infectious.
"It doesn't need a wound for entrance; it doesn't need an insect or the wind to break a plant over. If the warm temperatures and adequate moisture are available, it will penetrate directly into a leaf. It has a life cycle between five and 10 days — that's pretty quick.
"To put this in perspective, we already have leaf rust and stripe rust here. Asian soybean rust moves very similarly to those two."
Asian rust spores tolerate temperatures between 59 and 77 degrees — but prefer 68 to 77 degrees. And they really like moisture.
"From what I've read, the fungus needs about six hours of leaf wetness in order to (begin growing). Disease epidemics dependent on leaf moisture will move more at night because that's when dew arrives. For that reason, we really need to keep a close eye on nighttime temperatures."
Scouts, get ready for more aching backs and eye strain.
"I'm not going to lie: it's going to be difficult to scout for Asian rust, because it will be in the lower part of the plant. Bacterial pustules usually initiate on the upper canopy. If you see pustules at the plant top, it likely won't be Asian rust.
"If you're in your field and think you have rust, you should pull the leaflets and carry them back to your house. Call your county agent or consultant and then moisten a paper towel, put the leaves on it and then (bag everything). Put the bag in an area that is about 75 degrees."
The more samples collected, the better, said Padgett. However, knowing producers have more to do than walk bean fields, Padgett suggests several areas to check if pressed for time. "Sample sites in the field that are shaded in the morning. Check any place in the field where moisture will remain in the canopy longer.
"I can't emphasize enough that early detection is critical. I'm not sure exactly when a crop is beyond help with a fungicide. I've been told if the rust gets into mid-canopy, a fungicide won't do any good. That's scary. I'm not sure if that's accurate, but hearing it certainly got my attention. Again, that may be the case in Brazil but not the Delta."
Another tip: if you can't see the pustules or lesions, but suspect they might exist, hold the leaf up to the sun. That can help illuminate any new problem a bit better.
It's also a good idea to use a hand lens to check for pustules. Padgett recommends using a lens with at least a 20X power.
One thing that will aid in finding a soybean variety resistant to Asian rust is researchers now have two growing seasons to work with. "Last year, we couldn't screen all soybean varieties in the United States because we didn't have Asian rust. Now, we can take screened varieties from Brazil and bring them into the Delta to screen them further. That should expedite the process for finding resistant varieties."
As far as cultural practices, planting dates or row spacing, "they've found little that has an effect on the disease," said Padgett. "However, anything you do that encourages the canopy to be moist will be to your detriment. Am I saying to quit irrigating your beans? By no means. David Lanclos (Louisiana Extension soybean specialist) has told producers — and he's right — to not do anything to their bean crop that is agronomically unsound. Grow beans like you always have. Don't plant super early — knowingly cutting your yields — to try and avoid the disease."
Typically, the first fungicide spray will be made at R-1. But don't let that be a guide, warns Padgett. "Until we get a feel for how this disease will spread, I'll be looking at my soybeans all the time. As far as when to quit spraying, that's hard to answer — perhaps at R-6."
Currently, since there's no genetic resistance to Asian rust. Padgett sees little advantage to growing a Group 4 over a Group 5. "One argument that could be made, I suppose, is a Group 4 is in the field less time, and that means less exposure to the rust. But if conditions are favorable for rust, a Group 4 will be hit, too."

Hello everyone, just wanted to check in. Don't know if anyone had realized I hadn't been or not but thought I would update. I think I am going to be a winter quilter, I packed my stuff all up the other day so I could have my living room back. Just haven't been in the mood to sew. In my free time I have my nose stuck in a book. I have read about 72 already this year. Anyway, update on the stepdad and chainsaw accident. He has healed completely with no problems just another conversation piece (his scar) on his knee. Everywhere we go he has to pull up the pants and show it off and tell the whole detailed story....lol. Anyway it only took about 2-3 weeks and you would have never known anything happened. He is a tough little devil! However, you know they say everything happens for a reason. Well seeing how I was monitoring his blood pressure and everything with the accident, I started noticing his blood pressure would be low even though he doctored for high. Followed up with doc and put him through the whole blood work thing and all. Well his kidney functioning was down. It seemed to be only working about a third of normal. They took him off some of the diurectics and retested and it came up some. They then sent him for a scan of the kidney and found he has some blockage in the vessels that go into the kidney. We are waiting for them to tell us when, but they want to put stints or balloons in to open them up and get the blood flowing back in. They said it should improve the functioning but at worst case it should help prevent him from having to have dialysis or something of that sort later down the road. I guess it should keep from decreasing the function any further.....If he wouldn't have cut his leg I wouldn't have been watching him as close and may not have found this out before it was a big problem. They say where he was on the several diurectics for a couple of years didn't probably help. They can dry up your kidneys fast. Anyway he is still on the go constantly and isn't sick, just tires easier. As a matter of fact I allowed him....lol to use the chainsaw again to cut down a few small tree limbs under my supervision....lol. He was like a little child with a reward.
Along with other things, I have been busy getting son ready for school. It started Monday. He is a big freshman.He is my only child and man is it depressing to think of where the years have went. He really likes it and has turned over a new leaf of wanting to learn and do good in school. I am excited about that. He has always done good in school but just only wanted to do what was necessary and didn't always do things I knew he was capable of doing.
Enough boring everyone, I still get on and read all the posts as regular as I can. Hopefully with all this fabric I have I will get bit by the quilting bug again soon.....lol.

Medical History and Physical Exam for Urinary Incontinence in MenSkip to the navigation
Exam Overview
A medical history is the most important part of the examination for urinary incontinence. During the medical history, your doctor will ask you to describe:
- How long you have had incontinence.
- What, if anything, you are doing (laughing, coughing, or changing posture) when you experience incontinence.
- How often you have the problem and how much urine you lose.
- Risk factors you may have, such as ongoing (chronic) bladder infections or prostatitis , that could lead to incontinence.
- Your eating habits.
- Your bowel habits, to find out whether chronic constipation may be contributing to incontinence.
- Prescription and nonprescription medicines you take.
- Treatments for previous problems affecting your urinary tract.
- Your use of pads or other protective devices to control urine loss.
- How much caffeine, alcohol, and other fluids you drink daily.
Your doctor will ask questions about your general health and specific questions about your urinary and reproductive tracts, intestines, and nervous system to find clues to the cause of the incontinence. He or she will also ask about conditions that are related to incontinence, including:
- Prostate cancer .
- Enlarged prostate ( benign prostatic hyperplasia, or BPH ).
- Pelvic surgery.
- Diabetes .
- Glaucoma .
- High blood pressure .
- Depression .
- Heart failure .
- Multiple sclerosis .
- Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) .
- Parkinson's disease .
- Stroke .
- Spinal cord injuries.
- Degenerative disc disease.
- Previous treatment of urinary incontinence.
Symptoms and conditions that often are related to incontinence also will be investigated, such as:
- A need to urinate frequently.
- A sudden, strong need to urinate.
- An inability to urinate.
- A blocked urine stream.
- A loss of urine while sleeping.
- Signs or symptoms of a urinary tract infection , prostatitis , or enlarged prostate .
A physical exam often includes a thorough abdominal, rectal , and genital examination. The doctor:
- Looks for growths such as tumors in the pelvic area.
- Checks for an enlarged prostate or reduced anal muscle tone.
- Checks to see whether a nervous system problem is causing muscle weakness or loss of reflexes.
Why It Is Done
A history and physical exam are usually done for everyone who sees the doctor about urinary incontinence.
- No growths or physical abnormalities are found.
- The prostate is not enlarged, and there is no evidence of prostate cancer.
- There is no abnormal muscle weakness or reflex loss because of a nerve problem.
- You do not have constipation.
- You have pain or discomfort when the doctor presses on the back or abdomen. This may suggest:
- A urinary tract infection .
- A bladder that is full (urinary retention). A catheter (a thin, hollow tube) may need to be inserted to allow urine to flow out of the bladder.
- You have an enlarged or very firm prostate gland, which may point to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) or prostate cancer . For more information, see the topics Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) and Prostate Cancer .
- Growths or abnormalities were detected during the rectal exam that may be blocking the urinary tract. Ultrasound or computed tomography (CT scan) may be recommended.
- Other areas of the body, in addition to the urinary tract, show a loss of muscle control or signs of Parkinson's disease or stroke . For more information, see the topics Parkinson's Disease and Stroke .
What To Think About
The medical history is very important and can determine some causes of incontinence.
Be certain to tell your doctor about all prescription and nonprescription medicines you are taking.
The physical exam sometimes can identify abnormalities in the prostate, abdomen, or nervous system that may be causing incontinence or contributing to it. Findings from the physical exam help your doctor know whether further testing is needed.

Mobile Apps | Feature
At Bryant University, mobile apps start with a student competition for mobile app ideas, then move into crowdsourcing and more.
When students at Rhode Island's Bryant University have an idea for an institutional mobile app, they have an opportunity to see it come to fruition — if they can make a compelling pitch. More than two years ago, Chuck LoCurto, newly appointed vice president and CIO at the university, got together with Bryant trustees to develop an annual "app-a-thon" competition. Students have 10 minutes to pitch their app idea to a panel of judges, consisting of LoCurto, a trustee professor, the executive director of university relations, the associate director of academic computing and media services and a software developer. Judging the competition is based on a predetermined set of criteria, including look and feel, navigation and design, simplicity and uniqueness of concept. Winners are awarded with a Windows 8 tablet.
"Our mobile app conceptualization is always done in conjunction with students," said LoCurto. "Business majors. Arts and sciences. It doesn't matter. We want student input. Last year's winning pitch becomes this year's app."
The result of the first competition was a dining app that provides menus, hours and nutritional information for campus eateries. This year's app, RoomFinder, is a tool for finding study spaces on campus. It launched this April and has been well received by students.
The RoomFinder idea grew out of a demand by students for study spaces where they could collaborate with peers. Students had been squatting in unoccupied classrooms between classes, at night and on weekends — and without a scheduling system, there was no way to know which rooms were available. The app shows rooms by building and room number, with either a green status for "available" or a red status for "occupied." To determine a room's occupancy status, RoomFinder taps into the university's Crestron occupancy sensors, which were installed a few years ago as part of a green classroom initiative (the sensors turn off AV equipment when rooms are not in use).
Crowdsourcing Design
If the app-a-thon is a way to crowdsource idea generation to Bryant's student population, the subsequent development process takes crowdsourcing to another level. Once the idea for an app has been initiated and approved, LoCurto and his IT team work with Topcoder, a crowdsourcing community recently acquired by Appirio, a global cloud consultancy headquartered in San Francisco, to come up with the app's user interface.
"We use Topcoder for ideas and innovation," said LoCurto, "and also for getting multiple 'look and feel' possibilities to choose from on a single proposed app. When Topcoder mocks up the UI, we actually get code."
"Crowdsourcing at Topcoder is all about making work fun while producing amazing results," explained Mike Morris, Topcoder general manager. "We have over 630,000 experts that span software design, development and data science, and they compete with each other to solve real-world problems. Projects are broken down into discrete challenges, which may start with an idea that the community converts into screenshots. Screenshots become a working prototype, and that prototype is built into a production- ready application, designed, built and tested by the community through challenges." Topcoder community members are rewarded with cash prizes, recognition, and the learning they get from their peers.
"With Topcoder," noted LoCurto, "I know in advance how much each step of the process will cost. Their fees are not based on time and materials, and this is unusual in Information Technology."
Armed with the UI options from Topcoder, LoCurto and his team move the app into development. "Our team determines who can develop it — an internal or an external team," said LoCurto. "Our IT team handles project management and coordinates testing and integration. When the app is ready for deployment, it comes back to the students, one of whom is hired to handle the marketing of the new app."
The CampusEAI Consortium has assisted in deploying the last couple of releases of Bryant's mobile apps. An international IT services provider headquartered in Cleveland, CampusEAIworks with LoCurto and his team on app development and also hosts the school's my.Bryant portal. "CampusEAI helped us develop our full suite of mobile apps," said LoCurto. "They got us into the app store with a series of apps that interface with our ERP (Banner) student information system. They also do the maintenance on our mobile apps."
Student Participation Is Key
The app-a-thon approach helps make students feel that they own the mobile app project, pointed out LoCurto. "The student worker who markets the mobile app is paid and has a title: student communication support specialist. The students come up with the idea, name the app, pick the UI and handle the marketing of the app after it is developed. This gives them a strong sense of ownership."
LoCurto offers four tips for any crowdsourced mobile app project:

April 30, 2012 – Electrical failures or malfunctions were factors in an estimated 46,500 home structure fires reported to the U.S. fire departments in 2010, accounting for 13 percent of reported home fires. These fires resulted in 420 deaths, 1,520 injuries and $1.5 billion in direct property damage, according to the National Fire Protection Association's (NFPA) Home Electrical Fires Report.
NFPA is marking National Electrical Safety Month (May) by reminding the public to be aware of the risks associated with the use of electricity and providing safety tips and information to assist individuals in taking steps to reduce the risk of home electrical fires.
Video: Watch NFPA's Dan Doofus learn important lessons about electrical safety.
According to Lorraine Carli, NFPA's vice president of Communications, "The risk of electrical fire may not always be on your mind, but it probably should be - there are actions that can be taken to eliminate electrical hazards in your household and safety guidelines that can be followed to reduce the chances of having a home electrical fire."
Any type of equipment that uses electrical power can have an electrical failure or malfunction. In 2005-2009, nearly half of the fires started by electrical failures or malfunctions involved some type of electrical distribution or lighting equipment such as wiring, outlets, extension cords, and fuse or circuit breakers, per year.
Other key findings in the report include:
"National Electrical Safety Month is the perfect reminder that it's time to review home electrical safety and put a plan into place that can be followed all year," said Carli.
NFPA is offering the following electrical safety tips:

CONAKRY, Guinea (AP) – Long-awaited and hotly contested legislative elections in Guinea will be delayed by several days after the opposition threatened to boycott over concerns about the voter list and other issues, a U.N. special envoy said late Saturday.
The announcement about the Sept. 28 poll came after more than 24 hours of negotiations between the ruling party and opposition that were brokered by U.N. special envoy Said Djinnit.
"We are convinced that with this agreement nothing more can prevent the holding of free, transparent and inclusive elections on Saturday, Sept. 28, in Guinea and abroad," said the statement.
The vote had been scheduled for Tuesday, but the opposition expressed concerns about whether various problems regarding the voting list and voter stations could be resolved in time. The opposition had alleged irregularities and omissions on electoral lists in its strongholds.
Saturday's announcement marks a compromise as the opposition on Friday had been seeking to postpone the vote by a month. The electoral commission, known as CENI, "is committed to correcting these inconsistencies within a tight deadline," said Cellou Dalein Diallo, Guinea's opposition leader.
"We take them at their word, and we are waiting to see if in fact this takes place," Diallo said.
Kiridi Bangoura, the special representative of President Alpha Conde at the meeting, said: "We hope that on Sept. 28, Guineans will turn out en masse to express their voice and that the best candidates win."
In 2010, Guinea held its first democratic election ever after decades of dictatorship and strongman rule. The vote, though, unleashed tensions between the country's two largest ethnic groups _ the Peul, whose candidate lost, and the Malinke, whose candidate is now president.
Guinea's last legislative vote took place more than a decade ago, and new polls were first slated to be held in 2007. However, repeated delays have left the country without a functioning legislature and issues surrounding the vote have fueled violent protests.
The country is home to the world's largest reserves of bauxite, the raw ingredient used to make aluminum, yet remains one of the poorest nations in the world after decades of misrule.

Ours is not a family of winter sportsmen. Growing up in New York City, there wasn't a lot of ice hockey during my childhood. Instead there were a lot of trips to the Lincoln Center cinemas followed by dim sum. The curse continues with our seven-year-old son. Nicholas is not exactly a lion in winter. He's actually more of a house cat, and his love of lounging has got me to reconsider a certain element of my wardrobe.
While there were various permutations of sporting goods under the tree for his cousins this past Christmas, one gift kept popping up for Nicholas - pyjamas. The first pair he opened were French blue broadcloth with navy blue piping; the second were blue and white striped with his initials monogrammed on the chest pocket. Even his three-year-old sister, Alexandra, got in on the act, racking up more pink nightgowns than dolls.
It is not as if I have been secretly hoping to raise a medallist in the luge or biathlon, but locking two adults and two small children in a Manhattan apartment weekend after weekend leads to cabin fever. As a break from the claustrophobia, we've started taking road trips. Nothing too ambitious.
"Dad, how long would it take to drive to Florida?"
"Too long, Nicholas. I've done it in 18 hours, but it wasn't pretty."
"What does 'it wasn't pretty' mean?"
At this point, my internal movie projector unspools footage of me relieving myself out the driver's side window of a vintage station wagon hurtling southward on the I-95 at 80mph as a fraternity brother minds the gas pedal. Half-eaten bags of pork rinds and crushed cans of Red White & Blue beer line the dashboard. The car smells like a felony waiting to happen.
Nicholas then breaks my reverie. "Dad?"
Our road trips these days are decidedly tamer - usually involving a Volvo and a visit to a city a few hours away. We try to mix up the schedule with one activity for the kids and one for the adults. On our most recent trip to Boston, we dragged the kids through the Mario Testino show at the Museum of Fine Arts.
Part of being a non-sporty family is that the adults discuss hotels the way other families talk legendary Super Bowl match-ups
They dragged us through the Boston Tea Party Ship & Museum. The tea party begins when a man dressed up like Sam Adams greets you at the dock. He then whips the crowd into a frenzy over the unjust taxes that King George III has been levelling upon the colonies. The straw that has broken old Sam's back is a tax that we Americans are meant to pay on the tea that has just arrived in the Eleanor, a fine vessel tied up down the gangplank.
There is something thrilling about watching your young American son running and yelling, "A pox on King George! No taxation without representation!" as he throws a bail of tea into Boston's dirty water. Nicholas is a history buff and lives for this stuff. However, my favourite part of these road trips is watching the expression on my children's faces when we step into our hotel room for the first time. Part of being a non-sporty family is that the adults discuss hotels the way other families talk legendary Super Bowl match-ups.
Me: "OK, people, five-star smackdown: Il Pellicano versus L'Oustau de Baumanière?"
My brother-in-law, without missing a beat: "Don't be an ass. That's like comparing Claridge's and The Lanesborough. It's an apples-to-bergamot comparison."
Regardless of the level of poshness, I'm still someone who gets a Beatles-having-a-pillow-fight thrill when I check into a hotel, and I love watching my kids race around trying to decide what to do first. Should we order room service and then go swimming? Or go swimming and then order room service?
Nicholas looked like a tycoon from the Roaring 1920s - monogrammed pyjamas, bathrobe and slippers. All that was missing was a tickertape machine and monocle
At The Four Seasons in Boston, the hotel offers a really nice $15 up-sell. When we returned from dinner and everyone had donned his or her new sleepwear, there was a knock at the door. "Go ahead. See who's there," my wife, Honor, said to the kids.
They opened the hotel room door to find a room service cart that had been specially retrofitted into an ice-cream sundae bar. The waiter, who was dressed like an old-fashioned soda jerk, asked, "Is there an Alexandra Brodie here?" I had forgotten that we had pre-ordered the Kid-Kation Package and was worried he had mixed our room up with the bachelorette party down the hall. Thankfully, my three-year-old was only treated to a hot fudge sundae rather than Hot Chocolate's "I Believe in Miracles" and tear-away trousers.
Our three-year-old's eyes went wide as saucers when the waiter inquired what were her favourite toppings. "More sprinkles. More spinkles," was all she could say.
For someone who has no interest in playing hockey, Nicholas threw a pretty good hip-check to move his sister out of the way once her sundae was complete. I couldn't resist either and went for a scoop of vanilla with hot fudge, nuts and maraschino cherries. After all, hadn't we burned off some calories standing up to King George earlier in the day?
As we settled into our desserts, Nicholas looked like a tycoon from the Roaring 1920s - monogrammed pyjamas, terrycloth bathrobe and bedroom slippers. All that was missing was a tickertape machine and a monocle. Meanwhile I was just in a T-shirt and shorts.
"Dad, is that what you're going to sleep in? This is a Four Seasons," he asked in-between bites of chocolate ice cream and crumbled Oreos. He had a point. For someone who puts more top-down analysis into my wardrobe than my stock portfolio, my sleepwear is a chink in my sartorial armour.
Soon though, my daughter will be old enough to register my nakedness and notice the striking resemblance between her nude father and the Michelin Man - same pneumatic build, same white-wall skin. Sadly, I'm getting to the age where pyjamas and a robe are in my future. And the way my kids like to spend their weekends, the good news is that I'll be able to wear them from Friday night to Monday morning.

text: Lifesize HD adds 'new dimension' to conferencing at Mercy Health Aug 25, 2010 | Staff New, high-powered mobile devices, which put sharp screens and fast processing in the hands of employees nearly everywhere, represent the biggest growth opportunity for videoconferencing, according to Malloy and others in the industry. Analysts expect the market for room-sized meeting systems to grow slowly over the next few years because of high costs and space requirements. Mobile devices are quickly proliferating and offer a way for more workers on the road to participate in video meetings. Cloud-based services are also a growing trend in videoconferencing. Smaller businesses are demanding these services now so they can save the cost of infrastructure, but large enterprises will also embrace the cloud, according to Frost & Sullivan analyst Roopam Jain.

A prime indicator of when or if something's reached critical mass is if the New York Times decides to pick up the story. Orange '69 Dodge Chargers have now reached critical mass. While Dr. Jim Sirotnak's General is a 318-powered ex-stuntcar from the show, few actual TV cars remain, leading to the rise of shops that actually specialize in General Lee conversions, like Smith Brothers Restorations in Washington. But for all the love these repro-Lees get from the proletariat, vintage Mopar aficionados still turn up their noses at the customized B-bodies; as North American General Lee Fan Club honcho Travis Bell says, "They absolutely hate us." It's okay, Travis, they hate Steve Strope, too. [Thanks to CTE and Brady for the tip]

Does Invisalign Work?
- Details
- Category: Dental Blog
When planning to get Invisalign, patient compliance is just as important as doctor experience. I, name, have gone to many conferences for Invisalign and have given it to numerous patients at clinic. If I decided you're a good candidate and you wear your aligners as instructed (minimum 20-22 hours/day) you should have a favorable result. Invisalign, is the best way to go, they are comfortable, really easy to apply, and no one would know you are wearing them.

排三试机号:3D for Construction | Download Free Trial | SketchUp
Make everything easier
No one wants to waste time learning complicated computer programs. SketchUp is hands-down the most intuitive, not to mention powerful, easy-to-learn 3D drawing tool on the planet. If you want to be productive within a couple of hours, you've come to the right place.
Get good, fast
No one wants to waste time learning complicated software. SketchUp Pro is hands-down the most intuitive and easy-to-learn 3D drawing tool on the planet.
Think by drawing in 3D
We designed SketchUp to behave like an extension of your hand. The idea is to get out of your way so that you can draw whatever you want, however you want.
Iterate quickly through design ideas
We love how architects use layers and layers of tracing paper to develop and improve their ideas. Similarly, SketchUp was born to be simple to let you iterate.
Produce scaled, accurate 2D drawings
SketchUp isn't just for 3D models. Draw plans, elevations, details, title blocks and other graphics with LayOut. When your model changes, so does your document. Simple.
Generate presentation documents
SketchUp Pro includes LayOut, an incredibly powerful tool with features for page layout, drafting, vector illustration and slide presentations.
Create compelling visualizations and walkthroughs
Use SketchUp Pro to turn your models into animated walkthroughs and flyovers that explain every detail of your design.
Don't take our word for it...
SketchUp's speed and flexibility is what makes it so powerful. I can make SketchUp function as most any tool I need. What could take up to a week to do in a complex modeling system may only take a day with SketchUp.Allied Container Systems
Using a virtual mock-up, we were able to get all the players involved in the same room and work out hundreds of details without wasting time and money in the field.Ryan Companies
On one project, the use of SketchUp allowed the integrated construction team to model four separate, highly detailed virtual mockups in place of one physical mockup, providing a cost aversion of $180,000.Mortenson Construction
Interoperability is key. SketchUp Pro's ability to exchange file formats allows us to compile models from multiple disciplines. We can quickly study complex details and integrate additional information to an existing model.Turner Construction
Simple is Powerful
Find a 3D model of anything
Need a crane for your jobsite? A masonry detail for your fireplace? A truss for your roof? Find it all in 3D Warehouse, the world's biggest library of free 3D models.
Turn models into documents
Use LayOut to generate multi-page documents with model views, details, images, notes and other critical information. When your model changes, so does your document. Simple.
Customize your SketchUp
SketchUp extensions are add-on tools built to solve the kind of modeling problems that might otherwise leave you scratching your head. And there are hundreds of them to explore.
Model and Document
With LayOut, insert SketchUp model views wherever you want on the pages of your document. These "viewports" are living, breathing views of your project. When your model changes, all of your viewports update, too. Say goodbye to exporting a million images out of SketchUp.2
Draw once, use again and again
LayOut makes it fast and seamless to create drawings that you can use over and over. Get that detail right once, then drag and drop it into any project.3
Intuitive vector drawing
LayOut's drawing tools are just like SketchUp's: simple, smart, and fun. And because everything you draw is vector smart, scaling and rotating can be done with utmost precision.4
Dimension, detail, explain
Use dimensioning tools that snap to the edges of SketchUp models and quickly set the format, scale, and precision of displayed measurements. Customize callouts via controls for line weight, arrow and stroke style, curved leader lines, font formatting, line spacing... You get the picture, and so will everyone else.
Find a 3D model of anything
3D Warehouse is the world's largest repository of free 3D models, and it works seamlessly with SketchUp. That means equipment, casework, construction assemblies, the entire kitchen sink (literally) is all handy in a few clicks.2
Find a model of that thing
In partnership with manufacturers like Herman Miller, Formica, Thermador and many others, we're working hard to make 3D Warehouse the best place on the web to find a model of a specific, real-world object. Now when you specify an oven for a kitchen, you can be sure you're working with accurate geometry, not to mention beautiful models.3
Present on any device
When you upload your models to 3D Warehouse, it's easy to pull them down onto your phone or tablet using the SketchUp Mobile Viewer app. Then, get hands on with clients and collaborators wherever, however you'd like.

The 100 Moments of TSU Athletics presented by Taco Bell® series continues by recognizing one of the greatest teams in Tennessee State's history: the 1993-94 women's basketball team.
During the 1993-94 season, the team won a then-school record 20 games and lost only nine. The team also went 13-3 in conference play en route to the team's first ever Ohio Valley Conference Championship and a berth in the NCAA Tournament.
The championship team was led on the court by first team all-conference selection junior Carolyn Aldridge and second team all-conference selection sophomore Connie Swift. The dynamic duo of Aldridge and Swift was the first of its kind at Tennessee State breaking and setting a handful of school records including points in a game and points in a season.
The 1993-94 team also boasted the most storied and winningest women's basketball coach in the school's history in Teresa Lawrence Phillips. In her first year at Tennessee State, Phillips raised the team's win total from two the previous year to 12. In her fourth season as head coach, the Tigers finally had a winning record in conference play, but it was not until her fifth season that the Tigers won the OVC Championship. Her performance in the 1993-94 season earned her the OVC Coach of the Year Award.
The championship team was a long time coming as the team had mustered a winning percentage of just .351 in its previous six seasons.
The beginning of the season in 1993 started much like the previous six years. Tennessee State lost the first two games of the season to Alcorn State and Grambling State by seven points apiece. From that point, the team would go on to lose just six more games in the entire season and posted a 7-1 record against in-state conference foes.
The Tigers won the regular-season conference championship by virtue of their conference record, but the team still needed to win the conference tournament in order to reach the NCAA Tournament.
The Tigers clobbered Middle Tennessee State 88-66 in the first game of the conference tournament before meeting Tennessee Tech in the championship game. Coming into the game, the teams had split the season series at one game apiece, but the Tigers got the better of Tennessee Tech on that day thanks in large part to the school record 34 three-point attempts in the game.
After the conference tournament, it was on to the NCAA Tournament where the Tigers faced Southern Mississippi. Unfortunately, the Tigers lost the game 86-72, but the overall success of the 1993-94 season was something to build around and one of the 100 moments worth remembering in TSU Athletics.
The 100 Moments of TSU Athletics presented by Taco Bell® highlights some of the greatest moments in honor of Tennessee State's centennial celebration. A new moment will be released each weekday for a total of 100. These moments were chosen by the TSU 100 Moments committee, which consists of alums from various departments. TSU has so many great moments, not all can be represented in these 100.

ASCK- Agency Services Corporation of Kansas
We are a subsiderary (the for-profit) of the state trade association for insurance agents. ASCK provides insurance markets to insurance agencies in the state of Kansas both for their clients and for their agency. Agencies must be a member of KAIA.
The largest part of the business is writing the Errors & Omissions policies for the agencies to cover them if they do something wrong. Our member agents and brokers in Kansas look toASCK for stable rates and a long-term market that they can rely on to protect their greatest assets—their businesses.
Our client base are members of KAIA- Kansas Association of Insurance Agents. KAIA has over 550 members that are independent insurance agencies. Most members are over 40.
This updated logo should be professional and look good in color, black/white, in print and online. The current logo is attached.
Side note: The logo for the trade association (KAIA- Kansas Association of Insurance Agents) is a separate contest. ASCK is a subsiderary of KAIA.
