Trojans Earn 65-48 Victory over CokerFebruary 22, 2014
HARTSVILLE, S.C. – As four Trojans found double figures in scoring, Anderson University women's basketball added a key South Atlantic Conference victory over league newcomer Coker, 65-48, Saturday afternoon at Timberlake-Lawton Gymnasium.
AU capitalized on its trips to the free throw line, finishing a perfect 13-for-13 from the line, led by freshman Heather Jankowy, who went 4-for-4 en route to her team-high 12 points. Jankowy was joined in double digits by fellow starter Jennifer Monroe, sophomore Katie Davis and junior Jasmine Franklin who all notched 10 points apiece for the game. Davis closed the afternoon 5-for-6 from the field, as the Trojans shot 42.1 percent on the day.
With the triumph, Anderson breaks away from the Cobras in the conference standings as both teams entered the day in a deadlock for seventh-place. The win propels the Black and Gold to sixth-place with two games to play and with a win on Wednesday; AU would earn a spot into the Food Lion South Atlantic Conference Tournament.
On the home side, Coker was paced by guard Tanesha Stenson with 24 points on 7-of-16 shooting. Stenson, who entered the game averaging 13.8 points per game, added six rebounds and two steals playing in every minute. Teammate Priscilla Fenty recorded a double-double with 10 points and a game-high 13 rebounds, including nine of the offensive end. With Fenty being the only player to record double figure rebounds, the Cobras won the rebounding battle, 43-36.
Despite winning the rebounding category, Coker managed to shoot just 28.6 percent as Stenson and Fenty combined for 70.8 percent of the Cobras' scoring. The 48 points is the first time this season AU has held a team under 50 points.
Anderson started quickly as Monroe and junior guard Sierra Simpson dropped in back-to-back field goals, followed by a 3-pointer from Jankowy to propel the visitors to a 7-0 lead to start the game. The spurt forced Coker head coach Jenny Finora to call a timeout in the opening three minutes, as the Black and Gold recorded their second 7-0 run to begin a game in their last three games.
The Trojans maintained their lead following the break, eventually pushing out an 11-point advantage when Franklin recorded her only two free throws of the contest, bringing the score to 15-4 with less than 11 minutes remaining in the opening period.
After a missed 3-pointer on the opposite end by Coker's Hailey Yohn, senior sharpshooter Emily Willoughby connected on her only trey on the game, giving AU its largest lead of the first half at 18-4.
Despite the convincing lead, the Cobra attack began their way back into the game, going on a 13-0 run. During the run, the Trojans went 0-for-7 from the floor with seven turnovers that brought the score to 18-17 with less than four minutes remaining in the half.
Anderson was able to escape the first period with the lead after Davis broke the scoring drought with a lay-in. Following the Davis bucket, the teams traded points in the final moments of the first half, as AU took a 24-21 lead into the locker rooms.
"We got off to a really good start in the first half while playing tough hard-nosed defense," Anderson head coach Jimmy Garrity said. "We went through a tough stretch offensively and didn't do a very good job taking care of the basketball with 11 first half turnovers."
The lead quickly vanished at the start of the second half as the SAC newcomers evened the score at 30-30 when Stenson made one of her three 3-pointers for the afternoon. Stenson followed the long-range jumper with another 3-pointer, as Coker took its first lead of the afternoon at 33-30.
The Trojans answered the Stenson scoring streak, as Monroe and Davis knocked in back-to-back jumpers to regain the advantage AU would eventually not give back.
Coker would even the scoreline twice following the Monroe and Davis baskets, but was unable to go back on top. At 42-42, the game's final deadlock, Anderson stormed to an 11-0 run, highlighted by junior Lesley Woods' only 3-pointer of the game, as the run would put the game out of reach. The trey moved Woods one 3-pointer away from tying Mikala Fogle-Wilson for seventh-place in the program's 3-pointers made list.
Following the 11-0 run, Stenson made two free throws to give Coker its first points in five minutes, to cut the deficit to nine points. The Trojans answered the free throws with a 3-pointer by Jankowy and a lay-in from Franklin to give AU a 58-44 lead.
Facing the deficit, Coker began to send the Trojans to the line, trying to conserve time, but AU took advantage of the trips to the charity stripe, knocking down seven free throws in the final two minutes to clinch the 65-48 conference win.
"I thought we did a great job in the second half of grinding it out," Garrity said. "We hit a couple of jumpers that really sparked us offensively and we did a better job taking care of the basketball with just four turnovers. This was a good win over a good Coker basketball team and we look forward to a huge game this weekend with senior night and tournament seeding on the line."
Anderson returns to the Abney Athletic Center for the final time during the regular season on Wednesday when it welcomes Tusculum. The Trojans will recognize the team's lone senior, Emily Willoughby, for senior night, as tip-off is set for 6 p.m.

When I was a kid I remember I'd occasionally bunk off school to have a massive Champ Manager gaming session.
FM08 is certainly not without its flaws but here I am, in my mid-to-late twenties, married, with a sensible career job in London. And what have I done? I've rung in sick today because I'm too addicted to my current game managing Gillingham to actually go into work today!!
Yes, I'm a very tragic individual, but I'm enjoying this game at the moment.
I hope I'm not the only one.

Cape Town: A designer city
Cape Town is host to annual events such as Creative Week and Design Indaba, which champion creativity. And now Capetonians are all fired-up about their city winning the World Design Capital title, which has increased awareness of design all over the city.
Interior designer, collector and curator Neil Stemmet sums up what the accolade means: "We have become a living, breathing world-class inner city. Hallelujah!"
There's plenty to see, explore and discover. So what's a typical day like in a "designer city"? From a design perspective there are three areas to discover: the City Centre precinct, The Fringe and Woodstock, each jam-packed with creatives, studios and shops. We invite you to engage with our creative energy and see the city through our eyes …
Creative coffee mornings
Start your day at Haas Coffee Collective in Bo-Kaap (+27 (0)21 422 4413), a coffee shop and studio all in one that buzzes with coffee fanatics. Then cruise the Rose Street shops before heading down the hill into the city's happening hub.
At this end of town, the Freeworld Design Centre, South Africa's only dedicated gallery space for the promotion of interior design, is an inspiration. And while you wait for the legendary melktert at Jacques Erasmus's Hemelhuijs restaurant, see if you can spot the artwork made from hundreds of pieces of toast!
Or why not join the fashionistas at 6 Spin Street restaurant (+27 (0)21 461 0666), which shares space with Lobby Books in a palatial Sir Herbert Baker building. The popular "Creative coffee mornings" event is on the first Friday of the month from 9.30am, organised by the Cape Town Fashion Council.
Long inspiring lunches

Last night, Messi scored his 50th goal of the season.
Why is it considered a new goal-scoring record? Dixie Dean scored 60 goals for Everton in the FA First Division alone (he had 67 in total) in the 1927-1928 football season.
Messi had 50 goals in La Liga and another 14 goals in the Champions League, 3 goals in the Spanish Cup, 3 goals in the Spanish Supercup, 1 in the UEFA Super Cup and 2 in the Club World Cup. Which makes 73 goals in total on 2011/2012.
Messi didn't break Dean's record but he has broken a lot of other records:

News Release (Back to Menu)
Clinic Report Recommends Changes in Military Recruiting Practices at Public High Schools
November 19, 2008 –A report by students in the Constitutional Litigation Clinic at Rutgers School of Law–Newark has found that many schools throughout New Jersey fail to notify parents of their right to "opt-out" of providing military recruiters with contact information for their children. As a result, teenagers often hear a portrayal of military service that is unrealistic and misleading and that ignores other opportunities for pursuing further education, including participating in a college ROTC program.
The report, entitled "Targeting Youth: What Everyone Should Know About Military Recruiting in Public High Schools," was prepared over several semesters and summers by 16 law students supervised by Clinical Professor Penny Venetis.
The report discusses the military's aggressive and well-funded recruiting efforts; how these efforts are supported by a little-known provision of the No Child Left Behind Act; the actual educational benefits available to new recruits; how these benefits compare to non-military sources of educational financial aid; and the impact of current military action on soldiers and veterans.
The report concludes with a series of recommendations to ensure that high school students who decide to enlist will do so based on an unbiased and full understanding of what it means to join the military during wartime.
Go to http://law.newark.rutgers.edu/MilitaryRecruitingReportConLitClinicFinal.pdf for the full report.

This baby is at the end of a yawn. Your baby is yawning in a more coordinated way now with one yawn often following another. It may look as if this image shows the fingertips in the bottom right but in fact it is a foot, nearly brought up to the mouth.
Although you may have become very proud and protective of your belly, it can be extremely irritating if other people become overprotective of you. You may find that everyone has an opinion on your pregnancy, and what you should and should not be doing to stay healthy. Some women find all the attention comforting, but others find it frustrating or suffocating. If you're someone who finds all the advice difficult to handle, try to remember that people mean well.
Of course, it's your body, and you'll do what is best for you and your baby. If it's all getting too much, then try talking to the main offenders, often a partner, mother, or mother-in-law. Explain that you're trying your best and that you're aware of what you should and shouldn't do while you're pregnant and are following the advice of your doctors. Politely thank them for their input and reassure them that you're taking good care of yourself and your baby.
About 8 percent of women have problems with high blood pressure in pregnancy. High blood pressure can be caused by preeclampsia , a serious condition that also leads to protein in the urine. Preeclampsia can affect the liver and kidneys and, if untreated, lead to eclampsia or seizures. If you have preeclampsia, your doctor will closely monitor your blood pressure. High blood pressure can affect also your baby, so medication may be recommended. Don't stop the medication without your doctor's okay.
Are you wafting through pregnancy feeling fresh as a daisy? It's rarely discussed, but being pregnant may make you feel less fragrant than usual, not least because you will sweat more than before-although it's unlikely that anyone else will have noticed. An increase in vaginal discharge is also nothing to worry about, but if it smells offensive or is yellowish or greenish in color, you could have an infection so see your doctor. To stay smelling sweet:

A golden Kommetjie sunrise – Flickr pic of the day
This image of a stunning sunrise at Kommetjie was captured by our Cape Town. Live it. Love it. Flickr group member, Carla Schnetler.
Carla says: "This photo was taken early one morning over Easter Weekend in 2010 in Kommetjie, my first visit to the beautiful little town. It was at first a rainy and cloudy morning, but then the sun broke through and it was a wonderful photo opportunity.
I love Cape Town – my favourite city in the world. I love the people, the vibe, the lovely oceans surrounding it and of course Table Mountain."

The rules for the games Sake & Samurai and Beer & Vikings allow dead players to "torment" players that are still living by stealing their Sake/Beer tokens. But any player is always allowed to "Burn up" as many Sake/Beer tokens as he likes to perform special actions.
How should any dead player ever successfully steal a token when the target of the "tormenting" can simply burn up all tokens that might be stolen?

A new study claims that marketing -- not taste -- may be responsible for your loyalty to that light lager you've been drinking.

CINCINNATI -- It's news that will be music to the ears of the craft beer fan in your family.
A new study claims that marketing -- not taste -- may be responsible for your loyalty to that lite lager you've been drinking.
The American Association of Wine Economists took a break from analyzing their favorite vino to find out whether flavor or advertising wins brand loyalty when it comes to mass-market lager.
The group claims that when it gave drinkers a blind test, consumers couldn't distinguish between three major competing beer brands and that the results suggest the market is driven by marketing and packaging.
RELATED: Why you should love lagers MORE: Beat the heat with these 9 local summer beers
The group started by pointing to a landmark 1964 study that also suggests brand loyalty has little to do with taste.
In the previous study, mixed six-packs were sent to hundreds of beer drinkers to rate their preferences. If the participants indicated a preference for a particular brand, it was included in the six-pack sample.
Some of the six-packs were labeled and others weren't. In the blind test, participants showed "virtually no preference" for one beer over others. However, people who got the labeled beers rated their favorite brand higher than the others.
The AAWE said more recent studies have released similar findings.
To conduct their test, the AAWE did away with ratings or analyzing a range of beers to focus solely on whether people could distinguish differences between three mass-market European beers that are readily available in the American market.
Drinkers were presented with a blind "triangle" tasting test, and had to distinguish between Czechvar, Heineken and Stella Artois. (A full explanation of the process is provided in the report below.)
What the group found was that drinkers were generally unable to tell the difference between the different brands.
The group said the findings suggest that advertising and packaging -- and not taste -- is responsible for consumer loyalty.
The study said it was worthy to note makers of mass pale lagers spend enormous sums on packaging and advertising. The AAWE quoted Advertising Age reporting that Anheuser-Busch spends more than $1.5 billion per year on advertising and SABMiller spends just under $1 billion.
The group also states drinkers may identify with the brand's suggested "lifestyle" or cultural identity rather than the worthiness of the beer's flavor.
It's important to note there are some shortcomings with this study. Tasters weren't asked to find a difference between styles, (i.e., putting a Budweiser against a hoppy IPA,) and there's no accounting for taste. People with inherently refined or well-practiced palates may be able to easily tell the difference -- label or no label.
Also, people may just buy their favorite beer because to them, it does taste great.
Still, maybe it's time to drop that favorite lager of yours and try a new beer at one of your local breweries.

I'm confused about the difference in pronouncing "er" in words such as "farmer" and "earth". I hear them the same, but they have different phonetic symbols. Is there any difference in pronouncing "er" in these words?
I'm confused about the difference in pronouncing "er" in words such as "farmer" and "earth". I hear them the same, but they have different phonetic symbols. Is there any difference in pronouncing "er" in these words?
Yet another edit: The schwa symbols reported in your image are slightly different from the one I know and the reason is that they denote the Rhotic version of the schwa sound, especially present in American English. The symbol is
They are both schwa sounds.
The phonological difference between them is that this one
Now: it's also true that, in everyday life, people won't pay attention to that and some might pronounce it wrong. But I wanted to let you know the basic difference in terms of Phonology.
EDIT: Look, this is the Phonemic Chart provided by the BBC. Look at the vowels section and click the two symbols (
This is specifically British English, but it will give you the idea of what I meant.
In many dialects of American English, there is no difference between these two words except perhaps a slight difference in length, which is not especially significant.
The phonetic rendering that you're looking at is probably slanted towards a British accent. In British English, the /r/ sound is usually not pronounced as a separate segment at the end of a syllable, but rather causes a slight change in the preceding vowel. This is indicated by the symbols that you see, which is called an "r-colored schwa".
Most American English dialects, however, do not have an r-colored schwa in this position. Instead, they have a syllabic r, which is formed by putting your tongue in the position for the /r/ sound and simply holding it, with no real vowel sound at all. I pronounce the word farmer as
In British and American English, the sound of the letters highlighted in red is generally /ə/; what changes is the pronunciation of the r, which may alter the pronunciation of the preceding vowel, such as in /əːθ/ where the /əː/ sound is longer than the /ə/ sound (that is the meaning of ː placed after ə).
Word | American English | British English ----------------------------------------------------------- earth | ərθ | əːθ farmer | ˈfɑrmər | ˈfɑːmə fur | fər | fəː waterfall | ˈwɔdərˌfɔl ˈwɑdərˌfɔl | ˈwɔːtəfɔːl
The er sound in farmer and waterfall has a slightly weaker r and thus is slightly more like 'uh' than the er sound in earth and fur. It is a very slight difference that's often not even noticeable.
You can test it by replacing the er with an actual uh sound. In farmer and waterfall it will sound strange, like a speech impediment. In earth and fur, it will be completely bizarre and sound like a different word entirely.

Im writing a 'proof of concept' application to investigate the possibility of moving a bespoke ASP.NET ecommerce system over to Windows Azure during a necessary re-write of the entire application.
Im tempted to look at using Azure Table Storage as an alternative to SQL Azure as the entities being stored are likely to change their schema (properties) over time as the application matures further, and I wont need to make endless database schema changes. In addition we can build refferential integrity into the applicaiton code - so the case for considering Azure Table Storage is a strong one.
The only potential issue I can see at this time is that we do a small amount of simple reporting - i.e. value of sales between two dates, number of items sold for a particular product etc. I know that Table Storage doesnt support aggregate type functions, and I believe we can achieve what we want with clever use of partitions, multiple entity types to store subsets of the same data and possibly pre-aggregation but Im not 100% sure about how to go about it.
Does anyone know of any in-depth documents about Azure Table Storage design principles so that we make proper and efficient use of Tables, PartitionKeys and entity design etc.
there's a few simplistic documents around, and the current books available tend not to go into this subject in much depth.
FYI - the ecommerce site has about 25,000 customers and takes about 100,000 orders per year.

In Ubuntu 11.10 Oneric the Alt+Tab feature has changed. It now switches between applications and leaves a tiny delay or keypress before letting you switch between windows within a certain application. I like this feature, but there is one thing bugging me:
- Is there a way to disable the raising of all windows within the same application and instead only raise the latest used?
To elaborate this more clearly: If I have 10 terminal windows open and want to switch between one of these terminals and Firefox with Alt+Tab, I end up having ten terminal windows cluttering my desktop whenever I switch back and forth. This makes it hard to read commands from Firefox while having the terminal open, since all other terminals are raised above Firefox' window.

LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) -- Lexington thoroughbred racetrack Keeneland has partnered with Nevada-based Full House Resorts, in an effort to purchase land and build a Quarter Horse racetrack in the Corbin area.
Keeneland president and CEO Bill Thomason told the Lexington Herald-Leader in an exclusive interview, officials "think the community will embrace it and enjoy it," and that such a track would benefit the area economically.
The plan would include purchasing the Thunder Ridge harness track in Prestonsburg and reinventing it.
Keeneland leaders said they envision a "Keeneland-esque" facility that would offer simulcasting and instant racing, in addition to a boutique summertime Quarter Horse meet of about a dozen race dates.
The proposal would need regulatory approval before it could proceed.

When I boot my computer and login the volume level is always way too loud. Unfortunately the only way to change it is a physical knob on my speaker.
As soon as I can change the volume using my keyboard the volume immediately drops. Say the volume is at 100%, as soon as I turn the dial on my keyboard a little bit it drops to a normal level like 40%
How do I get this to work in a clear way, like having it remember the audio level it was on at shutdown?

I'd like to ask whether there is a way to read greek fonts in a shapefile's attribute table within QGIS 1.8.0.
You might try creating a file with the same base name as the shapefile but with a
See http://support.esri.com/en/knowledgebase/techarticles/detail/21106 for more info on
Update 1: Just to illustrate that QGIS does respond to the presence of
Both shapefiles have
I do not have a shapefile containing Greek characters to test, but you might try declaring
Update 2: I downloaded a sample shapefile from the page Andre suggested (thanks!). As you can see, by default the fields containing Greek text do appeared garbled:
I then created a file named
That looks Greek to me!
ZISIS, is this sample shapefile representative of the files you need to work with?
Update 3: The examples above were based on QGIS 1.8.0 on Mac OS X 10.8.2. I have also tested this method with QGIS 1.7.5 on Linux Mint 14:
SOLUTION A for utf-8 encoded shapefiles
Supposed you are working on Windows, look for qgis.bat in bin directory, and open it with a text editor. after the first line, insert
and save. Qgis 1.8.0 has some problems with encoding, using your computers default font instead of the one you specify. It is fixed in Qgis Master (1.9.0) by now, which you can install with osgeo4w setup.
SOLUTION B for ISO-8859-7 encoded shapefiles
We had a similar issue lately on the mailing list:
It works on the cited shapefile only with Qgis Master (1.9.0):
In Settings -> Options -> General, there is a checkbox
Uncheck it.
Then open the shapefile in QGIS with ISO-8859-7.
With this option shapefile encoding is done the same way as in Qgis 1.7.4, that is leaving it to QGIS and not GDAL.
If you want to work on with QGIS Lisboa, save the shapefile as
create a file named
convert the shapefile with ogr2ogr:
This allows GDAL to encode ISO-8859-7 on reading, and writes UTF-8. Unfortunately, writing to shp in one step does not work the same way. You can use the GML or the utf.shapefile with Solution A.
This should be possible if you open the layer preferences, to to General and set the encoding to UTF-8.
Edit: Use OpenOffice to open the dbf, set the encoding to UTF-8 and then hit save. You may need to add and delete a letter to get the save-option.

Broward Sheriff Ken Jenne and dozens of deputies have been duly deputized by Santa to hand out toys to thousands of Broward's neediest children this Saturday.
It's the 9th annual Toys for Tots and Teens gift giveaway, Saturday, December 22, 2001, starting at 10:00 in the morning at the RON COCHRAN PUBLIC SAFETY BUILDING, 2601 West Broward Boulevard, Ft. Lauderdale.
Every year, the line grows as anxious children gather for the fun-filled event that leaves them smiling with brand new toys in their arms. Last year, more than
7-thousand toys were given away to underprivileged boys and girls. This year's occasion promises to be even bigger.
BSO school resource officers and school board staff select the kids, who are then invited to meet Santa Claus, played by Anthony Bingham, son of the late Lt. Charles Bingham who played the part of Santa at BSO events for as long as anyone can remember.
This year, the Broward Sheriff's Office worked with the Florida Marlins, Crime Stoppers, Holland American Cruise Lines, Toys R Us, Union Bank, Enterprise Leasing, Red Lobster, Wal Mart, Brand Smart, Union Planters Bank, and many other local businesses to bring the annual toy giveaway to Broward's most needy children.
The 9th annual Toys for Tots and Teens BSO distribution is an invitation only event and not open to everyone. For more information, contact Lt. John Nesteruk at (954) 321-4100.
MEDIA PLEASE NOTE: Thousands are likely to attend this event, which will run past noon. Please arrive early for the best opportunities to get some great video/shots.

I recall watching a South Bank Show documentary on Alan Parker in 1990, and was astonished that, while they discussed his entire repertoire, Angel Heart, which he directed, was skipped over entirely.
Although I am well aware that the final cut of the film was tinkered with by the studio, I can find no online evidence that would explain why Parker would not talk about the film, or why it was omitted.
Does anyone have a lead?

Furniture and Paintings
Although clothing and quilts are the most obvious, items such as furniture and paintings can hold clues as well.
Gently look underneath and behind pieces of furniture. Ask if you can look at the backs of paintings. Sometimes you may find notes or inscriptions on these, too.
You may find hundreds of other fascinating items in family collections: Crocheted tablecloths or handmade dolls, a hat with a funny history, a portrait of a parent left behind in another country, a book brought across the sea by a young woman who loved to read. The possibilities are endless! Be sure to enter in your notebook any information you find.

Gene Puskar, Associated Press
NEW ORLEANS — Around the Super Bowl and its host city with journalists from The Associated Press bringing the flavor and details of everything surrounding the game:
The Baltimore Ravens are making a serious case for just awarding the Lombardi Trophy at halftime.
Joe Flacco threw a 56-yard touchdown pass to Jacoby Jones, who made San Francisco cornerback Chris Culliver look silly once again. This time, though, it wasn't for anything Culliver said.
Jones caught the ball at the 9, and Culliver completely whiffed on the tackle. Safety Dashon Goldson wasn't much better, running right by Jones when he came in to help. Jones then sprinted untouched into the end zone.
It was the 11th touchdown pass this postseason for Joe Flacco, matching an NFL record.
And, just a reminder, no team has ever been down by more than 10 points and come back to win the Super Bowl.

The New Orleans Riverwalk has become the Ravenswalk.
The walkway lining the Mississippi River is the site of one of the weekend fan fests, and fans of all teams are there listening to music, eating New Orleans food and just enjoying the warm, sunny weather. But a section across from Jackson Park has turned into a gathering place for Ravens fans. A Baltimore radio station broadcasting from a riverboat on the section across from Jackson Park, and the whole area is a sea of purple.

After arriving at the Superdome on Sunday, Baltimore Ravens coach John Harbaugh told CBS that he and his brother, 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh, haven't spoken much this week.
"We have each other in our hearts but we're going against each other today," the Ravens coach told a reporter during the network's pregame show.
There are still tickets available for the Super Bowl, but it's going to cost you.
A lot.
Three hours before the game, one fan outside the Superdome was selling a single ticket for the terrace level — aka the nose bleed section — for $1,500. That's almost double the face value.
Tickets were a little cheaper on NFL Ticket Exchange, the NFL's official ticket reseller, but not by much. Terrace-level tickets were going for $1,250 to almost $2,200. By comparison, tickets on the first level were practically a bargain, ranging from $2,400 to $2,600.

Pizza Hut is thinking some people will be over regular pizza after the Super Bowl. So it's hoping tiny new pies will be enough of a temptation.
The chain is introducing "pizza sliders" on Monday.
Pizza Hut says each slider is roughly the equivalent of a slice, meaning a person might eat two or three. A pepperoni slider has about 260 calories, compared with 250 calories for a slice of a medium pie and 370 calories for a slice from a large pie.
It's not clear whether they have a higher profit margin than regular pizzas.

If you watched Jiro Dreams of Sushi then this is the place to go. Mr Hayakawa is a purist. I am far from a sushi expert but I think you will have a difficult time finding a more authentic sushi restaurant in the Atlanta area. The tuna salmon and yellowtail showcased the best texture and flavor that I have ever enjoyed. The fresh wasabi and the ikura were both phenomenal. I generally like to test a new restaurant on the basics and this place knocked it out of the park. They truly focus on individual service quality and attention but be warned: you may be educated if you are used to the garbage sushi that is served in most restaurants and grocery stores. Go to their website and click on the Sushi 101 section to avoid embarrassment.

The welding done in a tube or pipe mill ruins the galvanic or aluminum coating intended to keep the product corrosion-free, so remetallizing the weld seam is a common practice. Remetallizing creates a large amount of metal dust, which usually is considered a big nuisance and an expensive disposal headache, but in some cases it can be recycled for a profit.
April 19, 2013
When Oddello Industries, a supplier of fabricated assemblies to OEMs in a variety of markets, was invited to bid on a contract for a high-end adjustable mattress foundation, it searched for a piercing machine and a cutting machine that could handle the tubular portion of the project. It combined the two machines into a single integrated unit that processes more than 15 miles of tube per day.

Industrial Laser Solutions, Atlanta, has carved out a niche as a firm that engineers and develops its own products. During the downturn that followed the financial crisis of 2008, the company decided to take on some additional work, and it found itself in the fabrication business. This article tells the story of its first fabrication project, including some problems and practical solutions.

Mining equipment has to take a beating more so than most other types of industrial equipment. Constant exposure to heat, dust, dirt, and debris means that mining equipment has to be built to last. When the Goodman-Hewitt branch of Joy Global looked to upgrade the machines it uses to make conveyor components for this industry, it looked for a cutoff machine that would hold tight length and squareness tolerances for this severe environment. Its search led it to Hautau Tube Cutoff Systems Inc.

When did TLG change the small posts on the underside of the modern bricks and plates , eg 1x6 and 1x4, to hollow ones?
I can confirm that some bricks have hollow posts. I ran across this in attempting to answer a "how much does a brick weigh" question. What I thought was a homogenous batch of bricks turned out to have a few with hollow posts. The bricks were all purchased new in the last three years.
From a "material cost productivity" standpoint, it will be in TLG's best interest to migrate to the hollow posts since parts from these molds will require less material to serve the same function (but not immediately). An expedient time to do this would be when a mold is at end of life requires replacement. So, I would expect to see significant variation continue for years to come. The balance point is the cost of replacing a single mold with the reduction in processed material costs over the expected remaining life of the mold. So the older the mold is the less cost effective it is to replace prematurely, but the newer one represents less time in service to amortize the mold over fewer piece parts... both of these things mean that the replacement will likely be when the mold normally reaches end of life. Since the useful life is very long, it is more likely that we are seeing parts from line or factory expansions.

In high school I was taught energy was conserved. Then I learned that nuclear reactions allow energy to be converted into mass. Then I also heard that apparently energy can spontaneously appear in quantum mechanics. So, are there any other caveats with the conservation of energy?
The topic of "Energy Conservation" really depends on the particular "theory", paradigm, that you're considering — and it can vary quite a lot.
A good hammer to use to hit this nail is Nöther's Theorem: see, e.g., how it's applied in Classical Mechanics.
The same principle can be applied to all other theories in Physics, from Thermodynamics and Statistical Mechanics all the way up to General Relativity and Quantum Field Theory (and Gauge Theories).
Thus, the lesson to learn is that Energy is only conserved if there's translational time symmetry in the problem.
Which brings us to General Relativity: in several interesting cases in GR, it's simply impossible to properly define a "time" direction! Technically speaking, this would imply a certain global property (called "global hyperbolicity") which not all 4-dimensional spacetimes have. So, in general, Energy is not conserved in GR.
As for quantum effects, Energy is conserved in Quantum Field Theory (which is a superset of Quantum Mechanics, so to speak): although it's true that there can be fluctuations, these are bounded by the "uncertainty principle", and do not affect the application of Nöther's Theorem in QFT.
So, the bottom line is that, even though energy is not conserved always, we can always understand what this non-conservation mean via Nöther's Theorem. ;-)
That would be the opposite and in any case, mass is energy (and energy is mass), so converting one into the other does conserve energy.
For a very short time, given by Heisenberg uncertainty principle. And that's not a violation of the conservation of energy.
Why "other" ? There's not any problem with the conservation of energy.
Energy is always conserved without any caveat.
With the advent of special relativity, mass and energy are considered equivalent. In other words, they are represented by a vectorial quantity called energy-momentum vector. Before relativity there were separate laws which have been unified. It is a very fundamental law that is connected to some basic empirical properties of the universe, like the fact that the laws of physics do not change over time.
Energy cannot spontaneously appear in quantum mechanics -- however it cannot be precisely measured and this allows for energy fluctuations. The important difference is that although the total amount of energy can change, this is for very brief amount of time, after which the original quantity is restored. So the energy fluctuation can be considered virtual. You don't get energy out of nothing and energy is still conserved.
Usually, but not always, the Energy is a conserved quantity as the others answers have explained.
In the BB framework where space expands, or in the dual 'shrinking matter' (almost dual)(comoving framework), the ratio matter/space is not invariant and energy is not conserved, i.e. Nöther's Theorem does not apply. It is well known that photons loose energy as they propagate. I can not find an argument to explain why particles shoud not (as they are also matter waves) loose energy.
The other relevant point is that energy can be destroyed, canceled, annihilated, already proved by experiment as described here: real-live-antilaser, paper, and here a tentative discusion. Other example: what is the energy radiated by two dipoles centered in the same frequency and in phase opposition ? zero. The same happens with two photons in similar conditions.
The equations for the interference of parallel polarized light are :
see Kostya answer here and substituting Delta by Pi:
Another two situations that should make us think on energy conservation:
I can not remmember of any other situation where energy is not conserved. I'm not including Dark Energy possible issues (see CosmicVariance)
Those four exceptional cases should make us think about our concepts.

How can I call MATLAB functions directly from Mathematica and transfer data/variables between the two systems?
2014-04-12 NOTICE: MATLAB R2014a contains a bug that breaks MATLink on OS X and Linux (Windows is fine). If you use MATLink on OS X or Linux, please consider keeping MATLAB R2013b until R2014b comes out. Due to the nature of the problem there is no quick workaround that we could apply in MATLink.
For full compatibility with Mathematica 10, please upgrade to MATLink 1.1.
Note: If you're using this package, please let us know how! Understanding how people use it helps us improve it in the right areas.
There is a new cross platform package for this, called MATLink. It allows calling MATLAB functions seamlessly, directly from Mathematica, as well as transferring data between the two systems. See below for a small tutorial:
Disclosure: I am one of the developers of MATLink.
Go to the MATLink home page and follow the instructions there. The simplest way is to download the archive and extract it to this directory:
Then make sure you follow the operating system specific instructions described under "Link with MATLAB" on the home page.
Using MATLink
Load MATLink by evaluating
and launch MATLAB using
This will launch a new MATLAB process in the background that Mathematica can communicate with.
To evaluate arbitrary MATLAB commands, use
To transfer data to MATLAB, use
To transfer data back, use
Many data types are supported, including sparse arrays,
MATLAB functions can be wrapped using
See the docs for more advanced usage and other functionality.
Simple examples
Plot the membrane from MATLAB's logo in Mathematica and manipulate the vibration modes:
A bucky ball straight from MATLAB:
Show Mathematica data in a zoomable MATLAB figure window:
See the webpage for a few more complex examples.
Bugs and problems: If you find any, please do report them in email (matlink.m at gmail), on GitHub, or by commenting on this post. A support chatroom is also available.
Here I show the basic way to call MATLAB using
Now one can invoke MATLAB functions:
I'll leave this up on GitHub, but I won't maintain the port. I recommend using MATLink instead.
There's a package on the Wolfram Library Archive called mEngine that allows calling MATLAB from Mathematica. What it can do is:
It is mirroring the functionality of the "MATLAB Engine", MATLAB's C/Fortran interface.
This functionality can be used to set up Mathematica wrappers for MATLAB functions by transferring the arguments and return values through global variables. Ugly, yes, but it works and it's useful.
The original version of mEngine was written for Windows and comes with a precompiled executable that works on 32 bit systems. For other operating systems it need to be recompiled with modifications.
Using mEngine on OS X
Several modifications need to be made to mEngine before it can be compiled on OS X and it'll work on 64 bit systems. I put such a modified version on GitHub. Please get it from there and do not mix the files from this modified version with the original version found on the Wolfram Library Archive.
I uploaded a precompiled binary here. It should work on 64 bit OS X 10.6 or later. Important: When using this, the

I've read that for a Bose-Einstein gas in 1D there's no condensation. Why this happenes? How can I prove that?
The claim is often that there is no condensation in $d<3$. The other answers are correct, but let's be clear, there are actually two assumptions present in the claim:
Now, the way we calculate the critical temperature ($1/\beta_c$) for BEC requires satisfying the equation $$\int_0^\infty \frac{\rho(E)dE}{e^{\beta_c E}-1}=N$$
where $\rho(E)$ is the density of states. Whether this integral is convergent or not depends on the values of both $s$ and $d$. The details of the proof are up to you though. :)
This is obviously pure geometry; precisely because the density of states of zero energy is not approaching 0 in $d<3$ (it behaves like $E^{\frac{d-2}{2}}$); (probably) the simplest proof can be done by showing that this explodes the number of particles.
It is necessary to clarify that a uniform, non interacting Bose gas (considered to be confined in a periodic box) in thermal equilibrium does not have a macroscopic occupation of the zero momentum mode if $d<3$. This is not quite accurate for $d=2$ as macroscopic occupation is achieved at T=0, or rather the critical temperature tends to zero in the limit of $N \to \infty$, $V \to \infty$, $N V = {\rm const}$.
This is however not the case if one has external potentials and makes no continuum approximation in the thermodynamics. Additionally attractive condensates $(a_s < 0)$ can form stable, self localised states (solitons) even without confinement in $d=1$. Such states satisfy the conditions for off diagonal long range order required for BEC.
Look at the derivation of the critical temperature of a Bose gas. In there, you should get nonsensical results for one dimension. This is because the density of states even of non-interacting particles depends on the dimension.

I dislike/cringe at the thought of having to sleep late in order to study. This is for the reason that I make it a point to go to the gym everyday, and to get the most out of it I need to get the most (around 8) hours of sleep I can every night. The thing is, I have a lot of school stuff I need to do at night. I just hate the thought of having to sacrifice sleep (rationalization: health, gains in the gym) just for studying/cramming. I'm not putting these tasks late either, it's just that we go to school at day, and I try to go to the gym after that, eat, do some chores I have to do and after that, study time (supposedly) and bam, I'm already tired and feel that sleep > study.
I don't really know what to prioritize right now, but for sure, my mind is shouting "Sleep!" as I'm typing this.

If you practice BDSM in fully consensual ways, you may still be criminally prosecuted for assault under many laws throughout the U.S. The BDSM-Leather-Fetish communities have focused heavily for years on defining "safe, sane and consensual BDSM practices" for practitioners as well as to help the broader public better understand what it is that we do. It was, after all, only in 1994 that the DSM criteria of the American Psychiatric Association changed their categorization of sadomasochism, paving the path for us to do more effective social, legal and political change. Until 1994, BDSM was defined automatically as a mental illness. Prior to 1994, it was difficult to organize effectively to protect and advance our rights as BDSM practitioners. This categorization and long-term societal view of BDSM as a mental illness resulted in severe consequences for many practitioners over the years—loss of child custody and jobs as well as criminal prosecutions. Fortunately for all of us, NCSF was formed in 1997 to work on these issues and to protect and advance our rights.
Although things have certainly improved for us over the years, we still have significant legal, political and societal issues facing us. The majority of us are not "out of the closet", still fearing the very real threat of being prosecuted or losing our jobs or families. BDSM is still prosecuted criminally as assault, and the legal precedents related to consensual BDSM assault prosecutions are not in our favor. Many of the laws intended to protect victims of domestic violence and rape need to be modified in their application to consensual BDSM activities. The DSM criterion still needs further reform—it is still used against us, and we can still be defined as mentally ill for what it is that we do. And, members of our communities still routinely face ongoing issues of divorce, child custody, job discrimination and even criminal charges.
NCSF has two major national projects aimed at protecting and advancing the rights of the BDSM-Leather-Fetish communities. First, NCSF has taken charge of the "Consent Counts" initiative that was launched in 2006 at a Leather Leadership Roundtable as the single most important national priority of the BDSM-Leather-Fetish communities. Our goal: to decriminalize consensual BDSM throughout the United States by ensuring that consent will be recognized as a defense to criminal charges brought under assault laws and other statutes. The Consent Counts project is a nationwide education and activism program that includes a comprehensive analysis of current laws and court decisions, the development of legal arguments for changing the laws, participating in court cases, and ultimately, through lobbying, education and grass-roots activism, changing state laws and the way the public and the courts view BDSM.
The other important advocacy project is NCSF's work to change the DSM criterion so that consensual BDSM will be categorized, not as a mental pathology, but rather as a normal variant. In this effort, we are coordinating research and advocacy and working with recognized experts in the field.
We need your help and support to be successful. You can make a difference. Get involved. Visit www.ncsfreedom.org.

Our KAP program allows professionals who are friendly to BDSM, swing, and poly individuals to list themselves as "kink friendly." It serves as a resource for people to self-refer for help from theraputic, legal and other professionals who will not prejudge based on the consensual adult activities of our constituents. We've recently added documents for "How to Choose a Kink Aware Therapist" in long and short form as well as a booklet geared for those in the theraputic community that focuses on poly issues.
If you are seeking assistance or our Incident Response Program
Criteria for acceptance include consideration of whether a significant issue relevant to NCSF's primary constituencies is at stake, what impact can be realized for our constituents as a whole if NCSF gets involved, and whether existing resources allow for a case to be handled effectively.
The NCSF Incident Reporting & Response (IRR) program provides assistance to individuals and groups within the alternative sexual expression communities who become victimized because of SM, leather, fetish, or swing practices.

Beadalon® 19 .018 100FT - Gold
Beadalon® 19 is more economical than Beadalon® 49 and only slightly less flexible. Like its name suggests, this jewelry wire contains 19 miniature strands of stainless steel. It is nylon coated for increased kink resistance, longevity, and abrasion resistance, and is available in more sizes than Beadalon® 49. Remember, when you buy your beads and bead supplies from Artbeads.com, FREE SHIPPING is available in the USA with orders of $10 or more.
