I was doing this simple Calc 1 problem and it took me forever to get it right and it was embarrassing. I could see that the problem was easy but I just couldn't 'see' what I was doing. I couldn't find the path. I solved it, and then I tried to figure out how I had done it and why it took so long. The problem was this:
There is a circular cone-shaped tank. It's pointed upward. It's filling at a rate of $12 m^3/s$. The radius of the base is $26m$. The height of the tank is $8m$. The water's surface is circular and has radius $r$. The height of the water is $h$. What is $\frac {\delta h}{\delta t}$ when $r=10$?
I know that $v=\frac{\pi r^2h}{3}$. I also knew that $\frac{26}{8}=\frac{r}{h}$.
After I solved it, I came up with a 'map' for the work I had done. This is what I did:
given: $v', r$
know: {r,h} {v,r,h}
need: {$h'$, {r,h}}
The know line reads: I know a function connecting r and h. I know a function connecting v,r and h.
The need line reads: I need a function connecting $h'$ and r. r is in bold because I can use the {r,h} function that I know, and the r value I was given.
The process was then:
{v,r,h} start with volume function.
{v,{r:h}, h} replace r with h using my known {r,h} function.
{v', h', h} differentiate to get these variables. v' I have, h' I want, h I don't need.
{v', h', {r,h}} replace h with r using known {r,h} function.
Now the problem is solved: I had v', I needed h', and I had r.
SO, my question is this: is there a system somewhere comparable to this process? Does anyone else do this?

Manhunt Leads to Shootout
Fugitive Tracked to Cabin in Mountains, Authorities Say; Fire Postpones Search
ANGELUS OAKS, Calif.—The manhunt for a former Los Angeles police officer suspected in three killings this month appeared to come to an end Tuesday, with law-enforcement officials recovering a body from a burned cabin where they believed he had holed up during a shootout with officers.
In a statement emailed late Tuesday night, the San Bernardino County Sheriff's department said investigators at the site had "located charred human remains within the debris of the burned out cabin." The statement added that forensic analysis would be used to try to identify those remains.
Sheriff's deputies believed they had tracked Christopher Dorner, the fugitive officer, to the cabin after responding Tuesday afternoon to reports that a car-thief suspect near the ski town of Big Bear Lake resembled him, said Jodi Miller, a spokeswoman from the San Bernardino Sheriff's Department. Two deputies were shot, one of them fatally, during the ensuing standoff.
LAPD Commander Andrew Smith said the department remained on high tactical alert and would "leave no stone unturned" to find anyone who had assisted the fugitive in his spree. He added that officers named by Mr. Dorner in an 11-page manifesto, in which he accused Los Angeles police officials of corruption, blamed them for losing his job, and promised retribution, remained under protection, as did their families.
After deputies Tuesday found the vehicle that was reported stolen on one of the area's main roads, the suspect fled into the forest and barricaded himself inside an empty rental cabin, Ms. Miller said. Shortly afterward, scores of gunshots were audible on the local police scanner and on a local television station that had a reporter in the area. Two deputies were airlifted to a local hospital with injuries, she said. One was later confirmed dead by the Sheriff's Department, which added that the other was in surgery and was expected to survive.
Police surrounded the cabin and closed the three main roads leading out of the mountain area. Late Tuesday afternoon, television footage showed flames and smoke pouring from the building where the suspect was believed to be holed up. As dusk fell, authorities reopened the highway into the area, even as they continued to remain tight-lipped about whether they believed Mr. Dorner was alive or dead.
Law-enforcement agencies had been searching the forest for Mr. Dorner since Thursday, when they discovered his abandoned truck on fire and followed footprints into the snow until they disappeared. After a fruitless search of 400 homes, officers suspended their search Friday amid heavy snowfall.
On Sunday, the Los Angeles Police Department announced a $1 million reward for information leading to Mr. Dorner's capture. By Tuesday, officers were continuing to sift through 1,045 tips, some of which were dead ends and some of which were "panning out," LAPD Commander Andrew Smith said at a news conference.
"We believe this person may be watching TV…so we wouldn't want to tip our hand. That would put our officer at an extreme tactical disadvantage," Mr. Smith said earlier in the day. Officials said late Tuesday afternoon that they couldn't confirm that the person suspected of stealing the vehicle and shooting the deputies was Mr. Dorner.
The events began Feb. 3, when two people were found dead of gunshot wounds in a parking lot in Irvine, Calif. Authorities later named Mr. Dorner as a suspect, saying one of the dead was the daughter of an LAPD officer who represented Mr. Dorner in a disciplinary-review proceeding in 2008. Mr. Dorner was fired that year after that proceeding determined he had falsely accused another officer of using excessive violence. Mr. Dorner denied doing so.
Mr. Dorner's grievance appears to stem from an incident in 2007, when his training officer in the LAPD's Harbor division gave him an "unsatisfactory" rating after Mr. Dorner left her in the middle of a foot pursuit, After learning about the rating, he filed a report of his own claiming that she had kicked a handcuffed suspect in the head, according to a police officer in her unit.

(CNN) - The home appliance brand KitchenAid apologized Wednesday evening for a political tweet sent out from its official account during the presidential debate.
The tweet has been removed but at least a dozen retweets of the post showed it read, "Obamas gma even knew it was going 2 b bad! 'She died 3 days b4 he became president.'"
The company apologized in a later post from the same account.
"Deepest apologies for an irresponsible tweet that is in no way a representation of the brand's opinion," the tweet read in part.
The original post would have been in reference to a comment President Barack Obama made during the debate as he spoke about the importance of programs such as Medicare and Social Security.
"You know, my grandmother - some of you know - helped to raise me," Obama said. My grandfather died a while back. My grandmother died three days before I was elected president. And she was fiercely independent. She worked her way up, only had a high school education, started as a secretary, ended up being the vice president of a local bank. And she ended up living alone by choice."
"And the reason she could be independent was because of Social Security and Medicare," he continued.
Cynthia Soledad, KitchenAid's senior director of marketing, said in a statement to CNN: "During the debate tonight, a member of our Twitter team mistakenly posted an offensive tweet from the KitchenAid handle instead of a personal handle. The tasteless joke in no way represents our values at KitchenAid, and that person won't be tweeting for us anymore."
"I am deeply sorry to President Obama, his family, and the Twitter community for this careless error," Soledad said.

EdgeHD is an aplanatic Schmidt telescope designed to produce aberration-free images across a wide visual and photographic field of view. The optical system was designed to reduce more than just off-axis star coma, but also to give an astrograph quality flat focal plane all the way to the edge of the field of view.
The Celestron Product Development team has released a whitepaper outlining the technology behind EdgeHD. This paper describes the development goals, design decisions, optical performance, and their practical realization in 8-, 9.25-, 11-, and 14-inch apertures. We include cross-sections of the EdgeHD series, comparative spot diagrams for the EdgeHD and competing "coma-free" Schmidt-Cassegrain designs, a table with specifications for visual and imaging, graphics showing how to place sensors at the optimum back-focus distance, and details on the construction and testing of the EdgeHD telescope series.
Click here to download the whitepaper.
|Learn about EdgeHD Optics straight from Celestron's engineers:
Many optical designs that advertise themselves as "astrograph" quality actually only produce pinpoint stars across a curved focal plane. While this may be acceptable for visual observing, stars will appear out of focus at the edge when used with a flat chip sensor of a digital camera. EdgeHD optics produce a focal plane more than three-times flatter than a standard Schmidt Cassegrain telescope and dramatically flatter than other competing coma-free designs. This guarantees you visibly sharp stars across some of the largest ccd chips available today.
Above: A curved focal plane does not perfectly coincide with a flat CCD chip and therefore will appear out of focus at the edges.
Even when focused sharply in the center of the field of view, a curved focal plane will produce out of focus stars at the edges. The wider the field of view the more pronounced the defect becomes. Compare the two images below. Both images were taken with the same camera under the same conditions. When focused on-axis both appear to be sharp in the center of the image. But as you view the stars closer and closer to the edge, the stars in the first image (taken with a competing coma-free design) become larger and less focused until finally, at the very corners, the star images are de-focused so much that they appear as rings instead of pinpoints.
Competing Coma Free Optical Design
Celestron EdgeHD Optics
Fig 1 - Competing Coma Free design focused on axis, shows sharp stars in the center of the image, but dramatically out of focus stars (donuts) at the edges.
Fig 2 - EdgeHD focused on axis, focuses sharply across the entire FOV.
Both M3 images taken with a 35 mm chip (42 mm diameter focal plane) camera
Superior edge performance not only creates rounder, more pleasing stars but actually improves the resolution and limiting magnitude when compared to telescopes of equal aperture.
Celestron's High Definition optics let you resolve smaller spot sizes all the way to outer edge, revealing finer detail and greater contrast.
EdgeHD optics give you smaller (more concentrated) stars that create brighter images and allow you to see down to a fainter magnitude than other equally sized telescopes. Poor edge quality can spread out starlight so much that the brightness of a star appears the same as the sky background, making it undetectable to your eye (or camera). With EdgeHD optics you will be able to capture the faintest of galaxies all the way to the corner of your full frame camera chip.
The image below is one 60 second guided image taken with the EdgeHD 11" and Canon 5D (full frame) camera. The field of view represents almost one full degree from corner to corner. Enlarge this image to 100% and inspect the star images on-axis and all the way out to the Edge.
Coupled with Celestron's XLT coating group on every surface, EdgeHD optics give you maximum light throughput across the widest visual and photographic spectrum.
For more information about Celestron's XLT coating, go to the XLT coating web page.
In addition to Celestron's new optimized optical design, the EdgeHD tube has been redesigned to make sure you get the most from your optics each and every night.
Mirror Support - Flexible tension clutches hold the mirror in place and reduce image shift when rotating the tube around the mount. The flexible rods allow the mirror to be held in place without putting any force or pressure on the mirror assembly, keeping the image centered in the eyepiece (or chip).
Tube Vents - Cooling vents located on the rear cell allow hot air to be released from behind the primary mirror. Each vent has an integrated 60 micron micro-mesh filter guaranteed to let warm air out without letting dust in.
Fastar Versatility -The EdgeHD are the most versatile imaging scopes available today. At its native f10 you can achieve the image scale neccesary to capture the smallest of deep sky objects. With the optional reducer lens (coming soon) you can increase your field of view without sacrificing optical performance. A barlow gives you the added power for high resolution planetary, lunar and solar imaging. And of course all EdgeHD optical tubes are Fastar compatible for ultra fast f/2 wide field imaging*. Each tube has been fitted with a removable secondary mirror and are opto-mechanically aligned on a laser bench to ensure they are axially symmetric in any configuration.
*requires the use of the Hyperstar lens assembly
Easy Collimation - With precision machined mechanics and a spherical secondary mirror, EdgeHD optics can be collimated accurately and easily to guarantee that they perform to their potential every time you use them.

Trojans Ready for Trip to Queens on TuesdayMarch 24, 2014
ANDERSON, S.C. – Snapping a three-match winning streak on Friday to Peach Belt Conference's GRU Augusta, Anderson University women's tennis looks to get back on the winning track when it heads to Queens on Tuesday, marking the first time the teams will square off as conference rivals since 2010. First serve from Freedom Park is scheduled for 1:30 p.m.
The Trojans
After winning three-in-a-row over Mars Hill, Converse and Brevard, AU saw its winning streak halted by the Jaguars with a 6-3 setback, dropping the Trojans below .500 at 4-5 for the year. Despite the mark, Anderson looks to climb up the South Atlantic Conference standings as it currently sits in fifth place, two games behind undefeated Wingate (5-0) and Tusculum (4-0).
In the loss at GRU Augusta, the duo of junior Karen Ching and senior Avery Owens, who are ranked No. 9 regionally in the latest ITA Rankings, posted AU's lone doubles win with an 8-3 decision at the No. 1 spot. The doubles win was the tandem's fifth of the season and third in their last four matches.
In the singles round, Ching continued her momentum with a straight-set 6-2, 6-2 victory over GRU Augusta's Aida Castany at the No. 1 position. With her win, Ching improved to 6-2 while playing No. 1 with all of her wins coming in straight sets. Also earning a win in the singles round was freshman Rebecca Bruning who tallied a 6-3, 6-4 triumph over Gisela Font at No. 3. Bruning improved to 7-1 in singles for the season, as she leads the team in victories in her first season with the Trojans.
The Royals
Queens comes into Tuesday's meeting with an impressive 8-1 record, as it has tallied four 9-0 shutouts for the year. With the record, the Royals are currently riding a three-match winning streak as their lone setback of the season came against conference-leading Wingate on Feb. 27, as they fell 6-3 at the WU Tennis Complex.
Led by the No. 6 ranked doubles tandem in the Southeast Region of senior Christina Rustscheff and freshman Melissa Laing, the Royals are coming off a 9-0 victory over Coker on Friday. No Cobra was able to reach more than two games in any match as one doubles match and one singles match were shutouts.
Rustcheff, who is ranked No. 15 in the regional rankings, came away with a 6-0, 6-1 win at the No. 1 position against Coker as she is coming off a 2013 campaign where she finished 18-2 in singles and 18-4 in doubles. For her efforts a season ago, the senior was named to the Conference Carolinas All-Conference Team and the all-district team.
The Series
Anderson and Queens will meet for the first time since the Royals defeated the Trojans, 5-0, in the second round of the Conference Carolinas Tournament on April 17, 2010. In that season, Queens defeated AU twice, knocking off the Trojans 7-2 in the teams' last regular season matchup as conference rivals.

I am trying to figure out what a good way would be to write the pseudo query below in TSQL taking into account that there will be about 50 actualResult records and 100.000 prediction records per actual result involved.
update prediction
set points = (
@points = 0
if(prediction.valueA = actualResult.valueA AND prediction.valueB = actualResult.valueB)
@points = @points + 3
if (prediction.valueA = actualResult.valueA OR prediction.valueB = actualResult.valueB)
@points = @points + 1
select @points
join actualResult on prediction.actualid = actualResult.id
where actualResult.id in (some subquery)
what I am wondering about is:
- Is there a way of doing the calculation which in reality is more complex inline? Right now I can only get it to work if I put it in a function but from what I understand this means it's constantly re-calculted even if the input is the same (which I quite likely in allot of the predictions)
- Would this way lock the entire range of records? And if so is there a way to prevent this? For example by copying it all to a table variable and then doing the calculation on that and then updating the records once all calculations are done?
am I on the right track here or would you write it in a different way?
