5 Huge Mistakes Nobody Noticed for a Shockingly Long Time
#2. Isaac Newton Makes an Obvious Calculus Mistake That Nobody Notices for 300 Years
Sir Isaac Newton dropped a series of game-changing books about physics, math, science, and astronomy that have influenced scientific thought for generations, sort of like the Tupac of theoretical equations. His most famous and important work, the Principia, is a three-volume series of mathematical proofs about his laws of gravity and motion. People based calculus on the stuff Newton wrote in Principia, which is why it came as such a shock to the academic community when an undergrad at the University of Chicago discovered a big fat mistake in one of the equations that had somehow gone unnoticed by legions of scientists, mathematicians, and professors for 300 years.
Diego Cervo/Photos.com
Write out all the formulas you want, Newton was still wrong.
Robert Garisto was working on a paper for a history of science class (because school subjects based entirely on the discussion of painful minutia are best when they are combined) when he noticed that Newton had mistakenly plugged the wrong number into an equation to find the mass of the Earth -- Newton had used 10.5 seconds in his write-up, but 11 in the actual problem.
Garisto didn't think much of the error when he found it -- he assumed it had been put in there intentionally by his instructor, and that spotting it was part of the assignment. However, not only was the botched equation taken verbatim from Newton's book, but no other scholar in history had ever realized it was there. We're talking about 300 years of meticulous study and discussion, and not one person had ever noticed that Newton had put the wrong fucking number into his own equation.
Darren Hendley/Photos.com
Maybe that apple hit him harder than we thought.
To be fair, this mistake doesn't disprove any of Newton's theories, and the equation itself is still correct (when you have the presence of mind to use the right numbers). It's just insane that with the amount of attention paid to Newton's writings (and to the Principia in particular) and the level of influence they've had on the entire world, that boneheaded slip-up didn't catch anyone's eye until some 23-year-old nobody turned in a homework assignment in 1987.
#1. Scholars Mistake Random Cracks in a Rock for an Epic Poem
Andrew J Shearer/Photos.com
In the 12th century, a rock bearing what appeared to be slowly fading runic symbols was discovered in Blekinge, Sweden, because ancient Norsemen just wrote shit down wherever they could. The king of Denmark sent a team of skilled translators to figure out what it said, but they were all stumped, claiming that the Runamo Inscription (as it would come to be called) was written in a form of Viking that was just too obscure for them to read. The actual reason they were unable to decipher the inscription is because it isn't an inscription at all -- it's just a bunch of random fissures in the surface of the rock.
Wikimedia Commons
Ancient Norse runes or the old sidewalk in front of your house? You decide.
However, this fact eluded people for the next 700 years.
Although nobody attempted another translation until the 17th century, the Runamo Inscription was still accepted as being an authentic but illegible piece of Nordic antiquity. The next person who stepped up to crack the nonexistent code was a leading Danish collector hilariously named Ole Worm, and he claimed to be able to make out a single word -- "Lund," the name of a city in southern Sweden. Presumably the Vikings were planning on meeting up with somebody later and were simply leaving directions.
Then, in the early 1800s, an Icelandic scholar named Finnur Magnusson, who would eventually become famous for habitually identifying meaningless naturally occurring bullshit as authentic runic writing, translated the Runamo Inscription as an epic poem about warrior chieftain Harald Wartooth defeating the Swedish king in the eighth century. This was a potentially huge discovery, because at the time little was known about the famous battle, and the rock would serve as a genuine historical record. That is, if it actually had any writing on it and wasn't just a goddamned rock. Naturally, some people were skeptical, because Magnusson was claiming to have read this ...
Wikimedia Commons
Harald Wartooth was no mere one-sword kind of man.
... from an alleged inscription that scholars 700 years prior (only four centuries removed from the actual event) had determined to be written in a form too obsolete to read. So, Sweden sent its own scientists to verify Magnusson's story, which they determined to be categorically false, much to the chagrin of hopeful historians and terrible Icelandic rune experts everywhere.
They made the salient point that nobody would've carved an epic poem on some random dumbass rock in the ground when there were plenty of giant upright flat stones in the immediate vicinity, and beyond that, the "inscription" in question had been carved by geologic events, not by a Viking king. It's the sort of thing that probably seemed obvious in retrospect, but it's better to get it right 700 years late than never.

I often get tripped up when reading names of Chinese people, and trying to work out if they are male or female. Is there a good rule of thumb to follow to determine which is which?

In a previous post "How do we choose the correct characters for a westerner name?", I listed some characters that I think are popular in names nowadays. Remember, characters don't express the gender, so there are only some "rough clues" to guess the gender of the person.
One example would be "芳", which means "fragrance,good smell".It's very common to be seen in a woman's name as in 梅艳芳(a last female singer from HongKong) and 谢杏芳(a famous female badminton player). However, I few cases, it appears in a man's name. I.e. 单田芳(a famous Pingshu performer. Note: here 单 pronounces shàn as a family name)
I agree with point 1 in 景洛弘's answer, that meanings could be a clue, but I don't agree with point 2, because in chinese, many characters share the same sound.
Counterexamples to point 2:
ye. There is a famous actor 刘烨(liu2 ye4).
li. li could be "力(li4)", which means "strength". There was a famous linguist 王力(wang2 li4).li could also be "莉(li4)",and "茉莉" means "jasmine". There is a famous actress 牛莉(niu2 li4).
hong. Hong could be "宏(hong2)", which means "huge". There is a famous comedian 黄宏(huang2 hong2). Hong could also be "虹(hong2)", which means "rainbow". There is a famous actress 陶虹(tao2 hong2).
In my experience, it mostly depends on two things:
There is a computer library ('Wudi gender guesser') to predict the gender of a Chinese name, based on statistics of the use of individual Kanji caracters in Male/Female given names. This approach accounts for both for the meaning and the sound.
There is an online version here http://namesorts.com/2014/03/27/chinese-name-gender-guesser-api/
Sadly there are no such rules since customs varies from parts of China to other parts. And in different times, there were different trends.
So there are no strict rules to follow. There are just patterns which loosely apply but with many exceptions.
For example, 红(red) is thought to be more common in female names when it is the last character of a name. But in the early years of the PRC, there were many male whose name contains the character.
Another example is that I have a classmate in high school whose name is 王男, 王(wang) is surname, 男 is given name and it literally means man/male. But she is a girl. She said that because the name is given by his grand father and he wanted a boy.
I don't believe there is a rule of thumb on this. Some characters used as names can be misleading, even for native speakers of Chinese. For example, I've met women named 帥 (meaning handsome, though it can also mean commander) and 虎 (tiger), both of which Chinese people would assume were male names due to their masculine connotations.
Still there are some names that are commonly given to male and female babies, e.g.
Common male names: 偉, 磊, 軍, 傑. Common female names: 芳, 秀英, 琳娜, 靜, 麗, 秀蘭.

I couldn't help but think of New Year's Eve in Times Square. The reason why this came to mind is because yesterday, someone mentioned 9/11 and started rambling about our nation's security. I don't know if NYC would be able to handle taking another hit, and I honestly have no clue what type of security, if any, they have going on during such event.
What I want to know is, are there any measures being taken to make sure a certain location with a large amount of people has the proper security, or the best one available, to keep them as safe as possible?

Quality Supplements
I've been looking into higher quality supplements in specific areas that a lot of people miss (i.e. antioxidants, trace minerals, etc.), and I found these two sites through naturalnews.com (
I'm especially interested in the "Athletic Performance Pak" on Baseline Nutrition, but I am always in hearing other's people's thoughts on this subject as I believe we, and when I say we I say that for those who lead very active lifestyles and/or are heavily involved in a particular sport, have deficiencies that a healthy diet can not cover, at the very least from a standpoint of athletic performance/potential/recovery. Just my thoughts, but I always to learn by reading and hearing other people's beliefs on the subject

Some time ago Robb turned me on to iherb.com and I began using this one:
Since each pack of vitamins contains 3 doses to be taken each day, and I don't care to do this, I spread them out more so the packs actually last me longer than the 30 days.
I also use fish oil caps, additional vit d and a probiotic.

About the Niacin Skin Flush-Safe, Beneficial & Invigorating
SuperNutrition uses Niacin rather than niacinamide because it is the more active form of Vitamin B3 and provides nutritional benefits not available from Niacinamide, including a possible "Niacin flush." The Niacin flush represents increased blood flow, which in turn carries more nutrients and oxygen directly to the cells in your body. This Niacin flush may result in a warm to hot, reddening, sometimes itchy tingling of the skin. It can last from 15 minutes to one hour or more and may be followed by a slight passing chill. In very rare cases, the Niacin flush may result in a rash.
The Niacin Skin Flush
To help reduce the Niacin flush, SuperNutrition uses an exclusive Two-Stage Fast Release for the Niacin in the Opti-Energy Pack. With this method, unless more than one brown multi-vitamin tablet is taken at once, fewer people flush. Yet, even without a flush, you still get the benefits of the Niacin form of Vitamin B3.
Notice About Vitamin E
Although there are few, if any, reports of problems, people with high blood pressure, rheumatic heart disease, diabetes or overactive thyroid should always consult their physicians before increasing their Vitamin E, and should always increase it slowly and carefully.
Premature Aging
Some premature aging may be accelerated by nutritional deficiencies. Some kinds of stress may deplete nutrients. The orthomolecular potency of the Opti-Energy Pack is designed and biochemically-balanced to help reduce the possibility of premature aging from nutritional deficiencies and lifestyle stresses that may deplete nutrients and accelerate premature aging.
The Opti-Energy Pack is also designed to nutritionally support optimal health, strength, energy and well-being for everyone, including:
* Men and women of all ages
* People with high-stress lifestyles
* People with high energy needs.
Nutrient Protection
Some nutrients are specially coated to protect against ingredient interaction in the tablet and to ensure full label potency.
Opti-Energy Pack-There's More In It!
The blend of nutrients and scientifically proven potencies in the Opti-Energy Pack reduces the need to buy additional vitamins or minerals and take extra tablets. For example, in the daily dose of 6 tablets you get 1250 mg of Calcium, 1000 IU of Vitamin D3 and 700 mg of Magnesium for bone health. There's also 800 IU of Vitamin E, 1000 mcg of Folic Acid and 250 mcg of Selenium for heart health, plus a full 1200 mg of Vitamin C and 300 mcg of Chromium.
These same 6 tablets provide higher potencies of Beta Carotene, the B-Complex plus organic greenfoods and a high ORAC antioxidant fruit and berry blend
Fast Digesting Tablets: The Opti-Energy Pack tablets are laboratory-tested to be very fast-digesting. In normal stomach acid, the brown tablets disintegrate in fewer than 30 minutes and the gray within 30-60 minutes.
Suggested Use
A dietary supplement for men, women and teens. Each packet (6 tablets) contains: 3 brown Multi-Vitamin/Antioxidant Tablets and 3 Gray Multi-Mineral/Antioxidant Tablets
Before taking this product, please read the side panel about our Niacin skin flush.
One packet per day for full potency. To improve Calcium absorption, take your vitamins 2 to 3 times daily immediately after meals.
Adults (18 years or older)
Preferred Usage-For best absorption of nutrients and the least chance of experiencing "the Niacin skin flush."
* 1 brown tablet and 1 gray tablet after each meal, three times per day.
Alternate Usages: These options increase the chance of "the Niacin skin flush":
* 2 brown tablets and 2 gray tablets after your largest meal, and 1 brown tablet and 1 gray tablet after another meal.
* Entire packet after a full meal
Teenagers (13-14 years)
* 1 brown tablet and 1 gray tablet after a full breakfast or lunch.
Teenagers (15-17 years)
* 1 brown and 1 gray tablet after a full breakfast and again after lunch.
Note 1: The brown tablets contain Niacin, therefore taking more than one brown tablet at a time increases the chance of "the Niacin skin flush."
Note 2: The gray tablets contain Calcium. You can improve Calcium absorption up to 30% by dividing your tablets between 2 to 3 meals per day.

I also stumbled upon Proteinfactory.com and made two mixes I was hoping people could comment on:
1) General Protein - Membrane Micellar Casein (30%), Super Plasma Protein (30%), Tri-Fx (Whey Fraction) (30%). I especially like the membrane one becuase it comes from grass fed cattle. Also mixed in some vit + min and aminogen and microlactin
2) Pre Workout Supplement - Rice Oligodextrin (30%), Rice Syrup w/Electrolytes (30%), and BCAAS (40%). also mixed in some peak ATP and peptides.
I also like the Omega Muscle Mix for its EPA/DHA content (450/300 respectively)

Just do these shakes if
you feel the need. I prefer them lately as I stress out a lot and tend to lose a lot of weight when I do... these help to keep the weight on me.
And if you don't think kettleball squat cleans are difficult, I say, step up to the med-ball

I definitely wouldnt go for that baseline nutrition pack, even if i had 250 bucks to waste! Fungal Pancreatin anyone? I wish i had the balls(gaul??)to sell lake/sea water for this kind of markup! Lake waters all very natural, but they admin it contains lead, aluminium, both are toxic.
Notice how there 'reserve' super foods top 7 ingredients are cheap crap like wheat, rice, peas, bamboo(WTF?!) and flax(ok but cheaper elsewhere).
The vits that Frank is pimping is probably better value.
I take(from i herb) source naturals life force multi, not perfect but its on 26 bucks and only take 1-2 a day to avoid 24hr luminous yellow pee.

I see your point. That 250 price tag just seemed like way too much for the little they give you. While I don't mind spending this much if its for health and athletic performance, it does seem a little fishy. I'll take a look at iherb to find a good multi, fish oil, and ZMA.

Anything that makes you sleep more is probably the best "performance and recovery" supplement you need (hence why people love ZMA).
Other than that....spend your money on real foods (eat more oily fish and you don't need the oil), get some sunshine for free (and your Vit D), do more relaxing activities and you won't need to spend much more on additional supplements (other maybe than some BCAAs around training time).
That and most pills out there may just end up leaving you with pee worth $250+ per month.

The wave of attacks appears to be part of a larger, "long-term, intensive campaign to take over large numbers of systems to gain permanent access to sensitive US systems."
By RACHAEL KING
The United States Department of Energy notified employees
via an email this week that hackers gained personal
information, such as names and social security numbers, of
14,000 current and former agency employees as the result of a
hack that occurred in late July.
This is the second attack this year that involved a breach of
employee data.
While the department said in its memo that no classified
data was compromised or targeted, obtaining personally
identifiable information is one way that computer hackers use
to gain access to computer systems containing critical assets.
A spokesperson for the DOE confirmed that it had sent the memo
on Wednesday.
Cyber attackers were able to access the information by hacking
into a human resources system which included information such a
payroll data, according to a person familiar with the
In February, the DOE said intruders may have compromised
personal data for several hundred employees.
These attacks are part of a larger, "long-term, intensive
campaign to take over large numbers of systems to gain
permanent access to sensitive US systems," Alan Paller, founder
of cybersecurity research and education organization SANS

Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals. Forcing them to enter design changes using tables, forms and spreadsheets is unproductive and uneconomical, and it increases the likelihood of human error—this is the way that most instrumentation software systems currently work. For too long, software vendors have denied engineers and designers the simple practicality of a graphical visual engineering interface with "drag and drop" capability and inbuilt intelligence, ensuring changes are automatically replicated into all the associated data and databases.

Is there a way to save a search?
I've had trouble finding some of my favorite vendors / deals lately and have started to search for the vendors by name. Is there a way to save searches? The process is getting annoying
4 Answers answer
Yes... after you get the search the way you want, the url can be saved.
For example, this url is the one I use to find free Kindle books:
@baqui63: You are correct. Depending on the OS, you can then save it to your "favorites"
These work on one system but fail to work on multiple systems, correct?
The URL I posted and others like it will work from any system capable of reaching the deals.woot server(s) and displaying the results of the given search. These URLs are not dependant on any cookies or other local data from the computer that generated them. This is not true of all URLs but is true, to my knowledge, of all search URLs from deals.woot.
One small point though: if you just click on the URL (rather than copying the text of the URL and using the text), the actual URL you end up using is this:
(And the link for the URL in this post has had stuff added to it as well... and if it is copied and posted, the link for that URL will have stuff added to it and so on...)

NEW ORLEANS (December 1, 2012)—A civilian lawyer for accused Fort Hood killer Army Maj. Nidal Hasan filed an appeal with a federal court on Friday intended to bar the government from using secret surveillance evidence in Hasan's trial.
Columbus, Ohio lawyer Eric Allen said in his filing with the 5th Circuit Court in New Orleans that since Hasan's defense attorneys have been barred from investigating a series of communications between Hasan and U.S. born Qaida operative Anwar al-Awlaki, Hasan has been denied due process.
The communications, a series of emails between December 2008 and June 2009, were discovered after the Nov. 5 2009 shootings on Fort Hood that left 13 dead and more than 30 wounded.
A civilian attorney representing accused Fort Hood shooter Maj. Nidal Hasan filed an appeal Friday challenging the government's intention to use evidence against Hasan obtained through secret surveillance.
Army prosecutors have, through the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), had complete access to the emails but the defense team has not.
The same issue was debated in U.S. federal Court in Waco where on August 14 Judge Walter S. Smith denied the motion after he viewed the evidence independently.

More than 1,400 babies will be born prematurely in the United States today.
And this month March of Dimes is celebrating Prematurity Awareness Month.
"He was 14 ounces when he was born and 11 inches so when I met him I got to kiss him for the first and last time and instead of planning his first birthday I spent it at the cemetery,"says Mandy Skees, Division Director of March of Dimes.
Mandy Skees would never get to bring her first born baby boy home so she dedicated her life's work to the March of Dimes mission.
"We have more babies born in the state of Kentucky prematurely than the number of incoming freshman at UL and UK combined. The March of Dimes has advocated to enrich grain products with Folic acid to ensure every woman of child bearing age has folate in their diet prior to finding out their pregnant,"says Skees.
Marissa who waited 3 long months to bring home 2lb. baby Ramsey says she never thought this would happen to her.
"O my gosh he's so tiny and they said we've seen smaller, and it could happen to anyone,"says Marissa Butler.
And March of Dimes continues working toward research that will save babies like 2 year old Ramsey.
"As active and as energetic and as big as he is today, I absolutely never saw this coming,"says Butler.
"All of the education the March of Dimes has provided I now have my healthy baby girl,"says Skees.

If you've looked at the test though, it doesn't test streaming XML from a filestream, instead it tests building an in-memory XML document dynamically. That's not to take away from your point, it's just that the test is only for in-memory XML document creation.
It would be great if you could build your own micro-performance benchmark on loading XML from a filestream to see the performance advantages/disadvantages of XMLDocument vs XElement (and probably XMLTextReader which I would think should be the fastest).

I'd like to know which algorithm is used to test if two graphs are isomorphic?
As Danny points out, you can find the list of licensed software using the "About Mathematica..." box, available under the Mathematica menu on my Macintosh and under the Help menu for a PC. As a dialog box, that Notebook is not searchable and a bit inconvenient to work with. If we open it with a text editor and examine the contents, we find that the cells containing the lincense information are all "LicenseText" cells and that the first such cell for each licensed system is in Bold. Thus, we can grab and group information on all licensed software as follows:
Seems to indicate that there are 112 pieces of software licensed (in some way) for use in Mathematica. The last four groups are actually just statements of various open source software licenses, so there's really just 108. We can place all this information in a conveniently formatted notebook as follows.
This should open a notebook that looks like the following, after opening one of my favorite sections. Nauty version 2.4 is the 75th item on the list.

9 Comments add a comment
the deal killer for me is:
Not valid for special events or private screenings. VIP Super Saver tickets are not valid first 12 days of "selected" new release films, special engagements or where prohibited by contractual obligations. $1.50 upgrade fee may be paid at the box office for admission to these "selected" new release films.
I love going to movies the first weekend they are out and I usually go first thing on Saturday when the theater is not packed and tickets are only $8
I think the above concern is mitigated a bit by the statement that follows it:
"$1.50 upgrade fee may be paid at the box office for admission to these "selected" new release films."
So for new releases, I assume that would mean the total price of admission would be $8. Where I live, the average non-matinee ticket price is around $10+, so it's still not too bad of a deal here.
I went in for the 4-pack at $26. My only concern is that after I purchased it, the Groupon site said that it could be redeemed at "one of the following 20 locations"; however, the terms of the value pack at Regal said that it can be redeemed at any Regal, United, or Edwards Cinemas. I'm going to choose to believe (and push for) Regal's terms over Groupon's on that point.
Not a bad discount -- especially with prices constantly increasing for movie theaters! Thanks for posting this deal!!
I have asked the question on my local Groupon, as yet unanswered, can these be used separately?
Booooo, the 20 locations it's valid at are all in MD, VA or DC.
@j0hnlind: I asked Groupon and they answered that they give you 4 separate coupons to be used as needed.
@polishdon: The Q&A page states that they are valid nationwide.
does anyone know what are the surcharges for 3D, IMAX and IMAX 3D?
Do they mail you a physical ticket, or can I print online? This is a great deal. Even with the upgrade fee. Most movies won't fall into the upgrade category and it's still cheaper. Tickets are around $10.50 at my local. Even if it only saves me $2.50 per ticket, it's still a savings.
@pleepleus: you can print them from the Groupon website one by one. I got the 4 pack - the closest regal (I go there pretty often since it is downtown and pretty good) is pretty expensive. Most movies are 11 or 12.

Ronald E. McNair Post Baccalaureate Achievement Program
The program is designed for undergraduates who are either first-generation and income eligible college students or from groups which are underrepresented at the doctoral level.
The McNair Scholars program at Suffolk University encourages graduate studies by providing opportunities for undergraduates to define their goals, to engage in research, and to develop the skills and student/faculty mentor relationships critical to success at the doctoral level.
The McNair program was established by the U.S. Department of Education and named for Astronaut and Challenger space shuttle crew member Ronald McNair. The first programs were funded in 1989, three years after the Challenger Space shuttle incident, which claimed the life of Dr. Ronald E. McNair.
McNair Scholars are dedicated to the process of higher education - both their own, as students, and the education of others, as future professors and researchers. It is this dedication, as well as their intellectual curiosity and ambition, that they uphold the spirit of the program's namesake, Dr. Ronald E. McNair.

Improving Concentration Skills
Q: What are some activities I can do at home to help my second-grader improve his concentration skills? He seems to have trouble focusing and staying with a task and has trouble completing timed assignments. I know some of this will come with age, but how can I help him now?
A: We applaud you for wanting to help your son improve his concentration skills now because it will definitely pay big dividends in his future. Children usually stay focused longer on things that truly interest them, so you will want to pick activities that appeal to your child to improve his concentration.
If you haven't been playing board and card games with your son, start now. Begin with games that are easy to play before moving on to those with more complicated rules. Not only do games require concentration, but they're also fun.
Read to your son. Start asking him questions before you read to focus his attention on a story. Then have him let you know when you read the answer to the question. What you are doing is helping your son become an active listener.
Does your son play any computer games? Have him avoid those that just require mindless responses. Also, cut his TV viewing time. While it may appear that he is concentrating on a program, television does not require children to focus for more than a few seconds on an image.
Other activities that build concentration include: doing puzzles, drawing pictures, making models, learning karate, and helping with family chores. Your child's teacher will have even more suggestions.
Find out from your son's teacher whether his problems with timed assignments are due to not focusing on the work or not having the necessary skills. Since most timed assignments are math problems, your son may need to learn the basic facts better.

Charlotte, N.C. - Due to inclement weather the majority of singles matches and all the doubles matches were either not finished or were not played on the final day of the 49ers Invitational. The singles matches involving players from Charlotte and Gardner-Webb were not played due to inclement weather. None of the four teams in the Invitational played doubles matches on Sunday either.
"This was a really great fall kick-off event for our team," Charlotte coach Billy Boykin said. "Before the rains came in Sunday, we logged two good days of singles and doubles matches against quality opponents. This tournament gave us a chance to assess our team's physical fitness level, evaluate our new guys in sanctioned match play and work some new doubles combinations. Coming into this event, we've emphasized the importance of doubles development. We wanted to get off to a good start with our doubles play in this event and I'm pleased with our progress so far, as our guys captured seven of eight doubles matches over the weekend. That said we still have to keep working on our fundamentals. I see flashes of solid play from everyone, but we all need to be more consistent."
Charlotte's Jack Williams and Jordi Massalle Ferrer captured their respective flight singles title. Charlotte's doubles teams of Alex Calott and Paul Cisti and Massalle Ferrer and Alex Weber captured their respective doubles titles. Seven 49ers won at least one singles matches. All four of Charlotte's doubles teams won at least one match in the Invitational as well.
"Freshman Jordi Massalle Ferrer had an outstanding weekend, going undefeated in singles and doubles play, teaming with Alex Weber to win Doubles Flight 4," Boykin said. "Jack Williams played better and better as the event stretched out and captured the number one singles flight. The doubles pairings of Alex Calott/Paul Cisti and Kamil Khalil/Krzysztof Kwasniewicz also went undefeated in doubles play this weekend."
Charlotte returns to action when they host Belmont Abbey and Johnson C. Smith in dual matches at the Halton-Wagner Tennis Complex, Friday, September 28. First, the 49ers play Belmont Abbey at 9 am. Then, the 49ers conclude the day against Johnson C. Smith at 3 pm.
"We're looking forward to getting back out on the practice courts next week," Boykin said.

Akt is a serine, threonine protein kinase critical in cellular metabolism, glucose uptake, protein synthesis, cell proliferation, growth, apoptosis, survival, angiogenesis, migration and invasion. It acts downstream of the phosphatidylinositol 3 kinase (PI3K) and it mediates the effects of several growth factors such as platelet-derived growth factor, epidermal growth factor and insulin growth factor. It is activated by phosphorylation on Ser-473, Thr-308 and Tyr-474 and when active it phosphorylates transcription factors (FOXO1), kinases (GSK-3, Raf-1, ASK, Chk1) and other signaling proteins (Bad, MDM2). There are three Akt isoforms (Akt1, Akt2 and Akt3) which share 80% sequence identity also known as PKBa, PKBß and PKB?. Akt has been shown to have a role in metabolism, apoptosis and proliferation and therefore it has been proposed to be the candidate "Warburg Kinase".

Yui menus only visible in center region in IE?
Not sure if this is a bug that appeared in yui 0.12 - despite setting the z-index of div.yuimenu to a very high value, the yui menus are still not visible in all regions other than the center layout region, e.g. you see the menu clipped and portions visible only in the center region.
Anyone else encountered this problem? Works fine in firefox, but not in IE6 and IE7.
25 Nov 2006 4:21 PM #2
There's a thread on it in the help forum. The menus have to be in the body element otherwise the are contained (and clipped) by the element they are in.
25 Nov 2006 6:37 PM #3
Yeap, I checked the DOM inspector in firefox, and the menus are created automatically at the top body level.
However, yui handles menus differently in IE (iframe'd I believe to shim above 'select' elements) - will check further on what went wrong.
25 Nov 2006 7:57 PM #4
Okay, confirmed that the iframe hosting the menu is created as a direct child of the document body.
And if I push up the zIndex of the iframe, it still does not appear in regions other than the center, also this results in the menu options not being selectable - so it seems that the zIndices of the content will need to be pushed up accordingly as well. Will check further.
26 Nov 2006 1:01 AM #5
Okay, seems that setting the menu's zIndex via css no longer works in yui 0.12.
Need to specify the zIndex config property instead - works fine now.
26 Nov 2006 4:42 AM #6
That's gay. It didn't work in the old version in the code, and now it doesn't work via css. Lovely!

Vioxx settlement
November 27, 2011
I just read this article on BBC.com about the drug firm Merck & Co. agreeing to pay almost $1 billion to settle criminal and civil charges regarding the drug Vioxx – which was often prescribed for people with rheumatoid arthritis. I remember when Vioxx got pulled from the shelf but I had never taken the drug myself. I did take Celebrex for a while which also has major health risk warnings related to heart attack and stroke (like Vioxx), but it never really did anything for me so I stopped it. Has anybody else had any experiences with Vioxx? Or Celebrex? I've been really lucky over the years that I've never had any bad side effects from all of the different medications I've taken. *Knock on wood* that continues! It's scary to think about, but a lot of these drugs for RA are very powerful and can be quite dangerous. However it can also be dangerous to not take the medications, which is frustrating.
Check out the article – "Merck & Co. agrees $1bn Vioxx settlement in US"

I took Vioxx for a while back in the late 90s (I was 19 or 20 at the time) because my doctor thought it was "safer" than ibuprofen. I didn't have any cardiovascular issues at the time, but lets hope they don't show up later! The faustian bargain of immune-modulating drugs can be so difficult– what kinds of consequences are we willing to deal with in the future in order to be functional now?
December 5, 2011 at 8:02 am
I took Vioxx for over a year until it was pulled from the market. I also took another pain med either before or afterwards until that also was pulled from the market. Both meds did relieve the pain in my feet so that I could walk again, which allowed me to get out to run errands those days when fatigue wasn't incapacitating.
January 28, 2012 at 12:33 pm
I took Celebrex between 1999 and 2003, when the heart studies came out. The kicker? I always did better on that then anything else. This is pre-RA, but I have significant OA in my spine. On 200 mgs of Celebrex I could be on the nordic trak for 40 minutes at a pop.
Those days are long, long gone. So, for me, the trade offs have been interesting. If I can go back on it, I would in a, well, uhm, a heartbeat.

S197 Mustang Bolt Ons - Ford Racing's New 3V Intake and ExhaustWritten by John McGann on June 1, 2011
The term "bolt ons" is deceiving. Technically, you could say building a car from a pile of parts is a "bolt ons" job; you bolt the suspension to the frame, bolt the engine and transmission together. But we've come to understand the term "bolt ons" to mean a simple remove-and-replace, with little effort required to make things fit. Very often this isn't the case, as anyone reading this magazine can attest. Fortunately, this bolt ons install was an exception. It was easy to do, required only a heat gun for special tools, and took about five hours of steady, but not frantic, work. Even better, we were rewarded with 30 extra horsepower at the wheels of this '05 Mustang GT, making the experience that much more rewarding. The setting for this install was GTR High Performance in Rancho Cucamonga, California, where Ricardo Topete, who co-owns the shop with his brother, did the work on a customer's car, installing Ford Racing's mufflers, intake manifold, throttle-body, and cold-air kit. These "bolt ons" fit all '05 to '09 Mustang GTs.

Topete started at the back of the car, replacing the car's stock mufflers with the smaller Ford Racing versions. They fit the stock tailpipes, and with a straight-through design, they offer greater flow and a more aggressive exhaust note.The new mufflers fit the stock hangers perfectly. Topete loosened the tailpipes to aim the mufflers, making sure they fit evenly with each other and were centered in their cutouts in the bumper cover.Moving to the front of the car, Topete removed the stock airbox and intake tube after he relieved the pressure in the fuel rails by running the engine with the fuel pump fuse removed, then he loosened the bolts holding the fuel rail to the intake. You'll need the proper spring coupling disconnect tool to separate the fuel rail from the fuel line.With the fuel rail and injectors removed, Topete disconnected the remaining wiring and hoses and removed the manifold with the throttle-body still attached. No coolant runs through the intake, so this is a spill-free job.Anyone familiar with the modular engine is acquainted with what's come to be known as valley crud, the smorgasbord of stuff that collects in the V of the engine block. Here we were treated with the crusty remains of gastropods and rat poo. "I've seen this before. Rats like to grab the snails and take them to a sheltered area to eat them," Topete tells us of the shell fragments and rat leavings that clogged his shop vac.Per the very thorough Ford Racing instructions, the bracket that holds the alternator wiring must be modified. An extra hole needs to be drilled, and part of the bracket needs to be bent about 90 degrees toward the front of the car to clear the new intake and throttle-body.Note that the Ford Racing manifold (left) has slightly less plenum area but longer runners. It also eliminates the inlet butterflies in the factory manifold. Known as charge motion control valves from the factory, they are an emissions-control device designed to increase air speed at low rpm. While customers will experience no driveability problems with eliminating this system, the car's ECM Will need to be reprogrammed to compensate. The computer will notice the missing CMCVs, trigger a "Check Engine" light, and alter the ignition timing to compensate.After cleaning the sealing surface of the cylinder heads, Topete dropped the new manifold in place. As with most modern engines, each runner is sealed with its own O-ring, rather than a dedicated intake manifold gasket.
There are three intake manifold bolts of different lengths, but their locations are clearly marked in the instructions. The bolts are torqued to 89 in-lb.Though you could reuse the factory throttle-body, we'd recommend upgrading to a larger Ford Racing piece. The dual 62mm butterflies offer a potential increase in airflow over the stock dual, 55mm throttle-body, giving you room to grow as you continue to modify your car.The only bit of custom work we encountered was the need to shorten one of the PCV tubes. The instruction book includes detailed instructions on how to do this, but it basically involves cutting the tube away from the plastic quick-disconnect fitting and then cutting the tube to the correct length. Next, heat the tube with a heat gun (don't melt it!) to soften it enough to slip the quick- disconnect coupler back in. As the tube cools, it forms a tight seal around the base of the coupler. This sounds more difficult than it actually is.The remainder of the job was simple. Topete reconnected all the sensors and vacuum lines and installed the new cold-air intake tube and airbox assembly.Five hours later. Topete cycled the key to activate the fuel pump. After verifying that there were no fuel leaks, he fired the engine and checked for vacuum leaks by spraying carb cleaner around the intake runners and near the vacuum and PCV hoses. Though the engine did start and run, the addition of a larger mass airflow sensor and throttle-body required reprogramming the ECM to accommodate the greater amount of air entering the engine. Topete reflashed the ECM before running the car on his chassis dyno. The result was 313 hp and 314 lb-ft, an increase of 29 hp and 5 lb-ft of peak power and torque.The results were better than we expected. Because the Ford Racing intake parts are designed to flow more air at high rpm, we expected to see a slight drop in power at low rpm. Instead, we were pleasantly surprised to see a slight increase in both power and torque between 3,000 and 3,400 rpm. The package really works above 4,000 rpm, and that 30 extra horsepower at the wheels is something you will definitely feel. What's more, these parts offer a good foundation for further modifications if plans for a cam change or power-adder are in your future.

Hi everyone,
I'm really glad this forum is here. I've been 6 months in my career in the industry and I'm not sure what to do next.
I work for a startup mobile developer. When my company took me in, I had no experience as a game dev but passed their battery of tests and interviews. Half a year later, most of the office is talking about jumping ship. The long work hours (I expect this anywhere), inadequate compensation and toxic work environment is getting to everyone. There are some days that I get home and start questioning my own self-worth. The company pushes us hard and is quite unforgiving even of the smallest mistakes. I know I sound like I'm whining, but most of the time, I've actually been on the receiving end of these rants at the office.
I've been setting my sights abroad (Canada, Australia, NZ) for the following reasons:
1. Most of the game devs in my country are startups and I want be in a company that actually knows what it's doing and has a definite direction.
2. In relation to number 1, I want to work for a bigger developer that can provide a level of training and specialization that I need to have a career in the industry.
3. I want to work on a AAA game or at least any game that's cool enough for me to care about.
I've scoped out some job boards and feel like I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place. Though I've been thinking about applying as a tester, I've already been a sound designer, lead designer, writer and assistant producer on 5 or 6 apps the company has done (Yes, it's been a very compressed 6 months). I can't claim to be a true expert in any of these fields, but I feel like I have a bit more familiarity with what goes on in a cycle than an average QA does (not to put them down or anything cause I've been that too). Oh, and one of the apps I was lead designer for won an award from Samsung this year.
What I want to know is, is my plan of working overseas feasible and if yes, what positions am I qualified for with my variegated experiences in the 6 months I've been working? I'm gunning for assistant producer or junior designer but I don't know if I'm qualified for those jobs. I have minimal knowledge in programming and 2d/3d modelling. Thanks for listening!

Re: Stuck
2. These statements beg the question: what country do you live in now?
3. Yes. 6 months experience won't get you a job that needs 2 years experience.
4. I don't have enough information. You seem fluent in English, so that's good. You need to research the immigration requirements of those countries. But with just 6 months experience, it's going to be really tough to get hired long-distance. Maybe if you can wangle work-legal status in one of those countries before applying.
5. You worked at a small company, which always means you performed a wide variety of tasks. You should look for another small company.

Re: Stuck
2 & 4 I live in the Philippines in SE Asia and have a valid US tourist visa. I hear NZ, Australia and Canada are more open to immigrants though. I'll look into it further.
3. I was afraid of this. Also, I don't think anyone is willing to hire an expat for an easily filled entry level position like QA.
5. Another alternative I've considered is getting a dayjob somewhere and being an indie after work.
Thanks for the advice, Tsloper!

Green: Spinach, Kale, Leafy Greens
Leafy green vegetables are some of the best sources of lutein. Cooking vegetables, like sauteed spinach or baked kale, dramatically increases lutein absorption in the body. Peas, broccoli, green beans, pistachios and kiwi are also great sources of lutein, as well as herbs like parsley and cilantro. For kids who won't eat spinach, try spinach noodles or kale chips.

Hey, i'am currently trying to make a stability analysis of a binary fluid at its phase border. As the governing equations in this double-diffusive problem are rather complicated i have to do a series expansion of my density profile. My problem is, that my PDEs contain a hevyside step function right at the border and i want to do a fourier expansion (i can then use symmetries of my problem and do some horrible algebra to actually get a "solution" which can be computed for up to 5 or 6 modes).
Now i know that fourier expansion performs quite horribly at a discontinous jump if only the first few modes are kept. Is it nervertheless possible to obtain a "margin of error"? Numerical precision is not of utmost concern, but the physics behind my problem should not all be thrown out by such an expansion. Do you know of any criteria or "better" expansion where its possible to make heavy use of symmetry/antisymmetry?
all the best, jan

All is in the title: Is $\langle a,b | a^2b^2=1 \rangle$ a semidirect product of $\mathbb{Z}^2$ and $\mathbb{Z}_2$? I think it is the case, but I don't know how to prove it.
Changing $b$ to $b^{-1}$ you can rewrite the presentation as $$G=<a, b| a^2=b^2>$$ The group is not a semidirect product since the group $G$ does not have non-trivial elements of finite order. One way to see that is to realize that $G=Z*_Z Z$ is a free product with amalgamation of two infinite cyclic groups generated by $a, b$ amalgamated along their subgroups $a^2, b^2$. The elements of finite order of such a free product with amalgamation must be conjugate to one of the factors, so there is no torsion.
The element $a^2$ ( or $b^2$) is central and generates an infinite cyclic subgroup $C$. Then $Q=G/C$ has the presentation $<A,B|A^2=B^2=1>$ which is the infinite dihedral group $Q=Z_2*Z_2$. The group $Q$ is has an infinite cyclic subgroup $K$ generated by $AB$, with quotient $Z_2$; it is a semidirect product of $K=Z$ by $Z_2$.
If you want a semidirect product of $\mathbb{Z}$ and $\mathbb{Z}_2$ an extra relation is required: you need $a^2=1=b^2$. Then the presentation gives the infinite dihedral group (i.e. the semidirect product of the question).
To see this put $t=ab$. Then if we call your group $G$, we have $G\cong\langle a,t\rangle$ and the defining relation becomes $ata^{-1}=t^{-1}$. It now follows that $\langle t\rangle$ is normal in $G$ with $\langle a\rangle$ acting on $\langle t\rangle$ by conjugation with kernel $\langle a^2\rangle$. With the extra relation above, this kernel is trivial. Thus $G\cong\langle t\rangle\rtimes\langle a\rangle\cong\mathbb{Z}\rtimes\mathbb{Z}_2$.
Without the extra relation the group is isomorphic to $\langle a,t\ |\ ata^{-1}=t^{-1}\rangle$, which is also known as the Baumslag-Solitar group $BS(1,-1)$.
Yes...if what you actually meant was $\,\langle\,a\,,\,b\;|\;a^2=b^2=1\,\rangle\,$. This is $\, C_2*C_2=\,$ the free product of two groups of order two, also known as the infinite dihedral group. I think yours is missing the relator $\,b^2=1\,$
Every presentation of such a group gives some different interesting insights in its structure...

Did you know that keeping your car clean could save you some money at the pump?
Not only that, but keeping less junk in your trunk, using the right motor oil, and turning the AC on for long trips (reduces wind shear) can also contribute to your vehicle getting better gas mileage.
Personally, I'm a fan of the "keep the car clean to save gas" tip, since I can use that as leverage to
force encourage the kids to wash the car.

GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. (January 29, 2013)--Snowmobiler Caleb Moore, 25, of Krum remained in critical condition Tuesday after he was seriously injured in a dramatic crash at the Winter X Games in Aspen.
A publicist for the family reissued a statement Tuesday thanking fans, friends and family for their support and asked for continued prayers.
Moore was performing a flip Thursday when his snowmobile clipped the top of a jump.
He went over the handlebars and the snowmobile rolled over him.
He was able to walk off the course with help and was taken to a hospital with a concussion.
While there, he developed bleeding around his heart.
He was flown to Grand Junction, Colo. for surgery Friday.
His family said Sunday that Moore then had a secondary complication involving his brain, but didn't provide details.
Moore's younger brother Colten also crashed in the competition.
He suffered a separated pelvis.
The brothers are former freestyle ATV riders who made a transition from sand to snow.

While the team ended up disappointed on Wednesday night in its loss to Collinsville, the CWCMS eighth grade girls basketball team had a chance to end the season on a positive note in its third place game Saturday at Rend Lake.
CWCMS faced Carterville in the game and it was evident pretty quickly that the Lady Bullpups were not going to be denied. CWCMS won the game, 38-23.
The Lady Bullpups opened up with a 7-1 first quarter lead. Carterville improved in the second quarter, scoring 10. But CWCMS bettered Carterville, scoring 11 and taking an 18-11 lead to the half.
The Lady Bullpups tightened the defense in the third and had a 33-16 lead going into the final period.
CWCMS would go on to win the game, 38-23.
Morgan Combs led the team with 15 points and eight rebounds. Others contributing in the win were Maggi Ackerman with nine points, eight rebounds and two steals, Emily Mahon with six points, five rebounds and a steal, Graci Ackerman with four points and a rebound, Lixi Wheeler with two points, a rebound and a steal, Madison Wenzel with two points and two steals and Lexi Wheeler with a rebound and a steal.
Coach Roger Hortin said the team played an excellent game defensively and offensively against the talented Carterville team.

I am using CCParticleSystemQuad to create particle effects. But I want my sprites to be able to collide with particles. Say your character is a dragon, the dragon breath is a particle effect emitting fire. When the breath hits objects (sprites), I should be able to know it collided with some sprites. How can it be done? Unfortunately google search on this subject doesn't give very good output.
Pixel perfect collision with particles would be very CPU intensive, this would be even worse on a mobile device. You may want to cheat and use a bounding shape to surround the area the particles occupy, and use that bounding shape for collision purposes. This doesn't have to be exact. It's an approximation of the area the particles occupy. I imagine if you actually implemented this and tested it you'd find that it was sufficient for your needs.
The exact answer would be a somewhat Point-In-Polygon algorithm but as mentioned above it will be very (very) time-consuming in real-time and would be more used for simulation purpose.
Most of the time in real-time you can approximate this by using either :
It basically all depends of the average behavior of the shape made by all your particles.
