ASI Promocar at the Cadillac Ranch
Filed under: Fun
Guest blogger Dawn Marie is ASI's PR manager and creator and driver of the ASI Promocar, part of a year-long PR campaign to drive attention to the promo products industry.
Life sure is full of incredible coincidences, especially on a 2700 mile road trip in the ASI Promocar.
Spent the night at the Contemporary Mining Camp House in Flagstaff, AZ with Kari and Jeff, who are part of the AirBnB community. They spent nearly four years building their house, set amid ponderosa pines on ancient buffalo fields, and made partially of reclaimed material like old railroad tracks. Recently returned from a 9-month world tour with their two kids in tow, we were sharing tales from the road when Jeff asked about the products on the Mazda now parked in their driveway.
"They're all promotional products," I replied, preparing to launch into an explanation of the industry when he said, astonished, "I was in that industry! Maurer and Associates." The company, started by his dad, was centered around apparel, specializing in golf tournaments. "I bet I can even remember my ASI number," he said, rattling it off. "We always looked for items that weren't being carried. There were so many to choose from."
Tell me about it!
The next day, the Promocar made it to an automobile mecca: the Cadillac Ranch in Amarillo, TX, which features 10 classic Caddys buried nose first in a field off Interstate 40, all now covered in spray paint from tagging tourists.
As we approached, a couple asked us to take their photo. Of all things, what's the man carrying? A promotional mug from Santa Fe.
Returning to the #ASIpromocar we find a Chinese man enthusiastically filming every inch. "He's CK," his American tour guide explained. "He's famous in China. Very big star. With China Auto Sports Club. He loves your car."
Then, CK gave me a gift — his very own promotional product — a sticker from the CASC, which he's handing out to everyone he meets on his own cross-country tour of America, in the time-honored freebie fashion.
Before we parted, they both signed the car, joining the legions who've already left their mark on the Promocar. So far, in addition to sigs from numerous US residents, we've collected autographs from Honduras, Mexico and New Zeland.
Small world indeed.

ASI Promocar – Desert Days
Filed under: Fun
Guest blogger Dawn Marie is ASI's PR manager and creator and driver of the ASI Promocar, part of a year-long PR campaign to drive attention to the promo products industry.
The ASI Promocar is nothing if not a conversation starter. Pull into any gas station, trading post or coffee shop along Interstate 40 in a zippy little Mazda covered inside and out in a wild assortment of logoed items and people will gather 'round like moths to a flame. Out come the cameras – and the questions.
"Why'd you do that to your car?"
Feeling a little like a Walmart pitchman selling ginsu knives, I spring into action, ready with answers, freebies and questions of my own:
"Tell me this – how many promo products like the ones you see on this car do you own?"
It's a light bulb moment – and it goes off every single time, during every single roadside spiel.
"Yup," I tell the Long Island family of four traveling to Phoenix for their daughter's wedding, "This is a $21.5 billion industry – for good reason. Promotional products are an affordable, high-impact item any smart business can use to put their company name, slogan or event front and center in a user's mind."
"What's the last TV commercial you remember?" I ask. "Can't think of it, eh? But you sure remembered the name of the bank that gave you that great pen you use all the time, didn't you?"
ASI could send out a hundred press releases touting promo products' terrific recall and ROI without ever scoring the kind of one-on-one, face-to-face affirmation I'm experiencing every day on the road about products people use, enjoy and, above all, remember.
And in this day and age, when so many of our shared experiences are electronic, it's downright refreshing to look people in the eye, shake their hands and laugh over something silly like the zombie stress ball glued to the Promocar's driver's side door.
For a week, the #ASIpromocar gets to be a mobile roadside attraction, in the spirit of Arizona's Wigwam Motel and the giant golf ball in California's Mojave Desert. It's good old American fun, which I'm betting we can all use a dose of now and again.

ASI Promocar – Cruisin' California
Filed under: Uncategorized
Guest blogger Dawn Marie is ASI's PR manager and creator and driver of the ASI Promocar, part of a year-long PR campaign to drive attention to the promo products industry.
If anything, California is a study in contrasts. Its poverty rate is 23.5%, highest of any state in the country. Homeless are everywhere. And then you drive through Malibu, where oceanfront bungalows that look an awful lot like gussied up storage containers sell for a cool $22 mill.
Cruising Pacific Coast Highway – past the American Apparel store – we pull into a surfer's lot next to an ancient van painted in camouflage, where an old woman in a housedress rests in the passenger seat. Spying the #ASIpromocar, her shirtless son pops over for a chat.
"Us artists, we gotta stick together," he says, proudly showing me his home-made promo hat, which he fashioned out of straw and plastic in honor of his beloved LA. "I bring my mom here every day. She's got a brain tumor and I take care of her now."
Within 15 minutes, we've given away three "Driving Serious Fun" T-shirts (the slogan for the year-long PR campaign the Promocar was designed around to drive attention to the promo products industry), a couple of logoed footballs and a handful of clackers, which little kids love.
"It's free?" everyone asks. "You bet," I get to answer.
To me, that's the very heart of this $21.5 billion industry – the simple, powerful idea that everybody loves free stuff. Especially when it's useful. Or just plain fun.

ASI Promocar – A Night In Los Angeles
Filed under: Uncategorized
Guest blogger Dawn Marie is ASI's PR manager and creator and driver of the ASI Promocar, part of a year-long PR campaign to drive attention to the promo products industry.
Driving a car covered in a riot of multi-colored promo products is tricky enough. Driving it on the infamous LA freeways, which are littered with metal carcasses from vehicular mishaps (along with the occasional flattened coyote) is a whole different experience. Every time someone beeps at me, my first instinct is to respond like the NYC driver I once was and flash the finger. Then I remember I'm driving a company car and people are beeping to say "Fun!" At least that's what I tell myself.
Once I survived Interstate 5 and U.S. 101, the next hurdle for the ASI Promocar (#ASIpromocar) was winding, twisting Laurel Canyon Boulevard to Lookout Mountain and my eventual destination: a hilltop AirBnB rental high above LA with a view of the Pacific Ocean. Once I started climbing up, up, up I understood why every Californian at the ASI Long beach trade show where the Promocar was on display last week — as part of a year-long PR campaign to "drive" attention to the $21.5 billion #promoproducts industry — shook their heads when I told them it was a 5-speed and said, "You poor thing."
But the 2002 Mazda Protégé performed like a champ, quivering slinkys and all. Following my stern GPS lady, now nicknamed Milly, I was doing fine, when I could stop gawking at the incredible houses, where I imagined Madonna behind every door. Then, Milly insisted "right on Sunset Plaza Dr." — which was marked with numerous large signs warning me against entering because "street withdrawn from public use." I pictured armed guards with earpieces and Uzis rushing the Promocar and yelling "Halt! This is a swag-free zone!"
Thankfully, a beautiful blonde surfer dude came to my rescue, explaining the hoi polloi erected the signs to prevent teenagers from congregating there to enjoy the views and neck. "Are you going to an event at one of the big houses?," he said, eying the Promocar and I'm sure imagining what kind of wild LA bash would require stress balls and little foam figures. "Just looking for my night's lodging," I replied.
Then, he did something I didn't expect in a million years. Gave me directions and his card and told me if I had any trouble finding the house, or if I needed you anything at all, to call him. "I love your car," he said. "I'm from San Francisco and we have art cars everywhere. It's great to see one here."
I love LA.

ASI Promocar Stops At The Laurel Canyon Country Store
Filed under: Fun
Guest blogger Dawn Marie is ASI's PR manager and creator and driver of the ASI Promocar, part of a year-long PR campaign to drive attention to the promo products industry.
The century-old Laurel Canyon Country Store is a storied landmark where everyone from Joni Mitchell to Mama Cass and Jim Morrison has guzzled coffee and shopped for groceries. It is the epitome of California cool. Naturally, I drove the #ASIpromocar there to check out their promo products – and ogle celebs. Turns out, it's like a museum for ad specialties: A Kennedy bumper sticker and Fred Astaire dance flyer under glass on the counter. Recyclable bags. And of course, T-shirts.
I got a cappuccino and a bag and took a ton of photos. Oddly, not one person asked for my autograph.

ASI Promocar – Promotional Products Everywhere!
Filed under: Fun
Guest blogger Dawn Marie is ASI's PR manager and creator and driver of the ASI Promocar, part of a year-long PR campaign to drive attention to the promo products industry.
Looking for promotional products when you're on the road is like looking for Waldo. At first, you might have trouble seeing them. Then, you see them everywhere:
The toiletries at the Hyatt Regency in Long Beach, CA, where the ASI Promocar (#ASIpromocar) was on display before setting off on its cross-country PR tour. The snazzy red sunglasses worn by a woman lunching at Argentine Grill in North Hollywood, who said she got them from her school, University of Redlands, and loved them so much she wore them every day (watch video).
The big bowl of giveaway matches at Boa restaurant in Santa Monica. The coffee mug at the Laurel Canyon house where I'm staying. Even the big bold "Cali" T-shirt sported by the MC of the hip hop group entertaining the crowd at Santa Monica Pier.
I still haven't seen Waldo, but I sure am seeing strong evidence supporting Advantages magazine's recent research report that sales of promotional products in California grew 7% from 2013 to 2014, for a total of $1.7 billion.
Swag on, dude.

ASIPromocar Makes A Pitstop In Cerritos, CA – A Blessing In Disguise
Filed under: Fun
Guest blogger Dawn Marie is ASI's PR manager and creator and driver of the ASI Promocar, part of a year-long PR campaign to drive attention to the promo products industry.
Sometimes, unexpected detours turn out to be blessings in disguise. After the #ASIpromocar left the Long Beach, CA show, bound for a 2,700 mile cross-country trip back to ASI's Philadelphia HQ, I decided to do due diligence and check all the fluids. In the darkened hotel parking garage. At 11 pm. After a 14-hour work day. Thinking I was topping off the washer fluid, I mistakenly filled the coolant overflow. Oops.
Luckily, the crew at Browning Mazda in Cerritos, CA were delighted to help, getting me quickly back on the road after a coolant flush. I did have a little fun with them first, saying with a straight face when I pulled in, "Who do I see about an even trade, the Promocar for, say, an MX-5? (a $28,000 sports car, as compared to my $3,500 used Protege).
Once over the shock, serviceman John Cemore waxed enthusiastic (Watch Video) about #promoproducts, testifying to their undisputed value to auto dealers everywhere. Proudly, he showed off 2 logoed hockey pucks he got years ago, which remain front and center on his desk to this day.
As I prepared to leave, the entire crew gathered round for photos, saying "This is good stuff. Wow. Gotta show this to the grandkids. It's certainly different. Love this."
The best part? Their reassurance that despite its 190,000 miles, the #ASIpromocar is ready to rock the open road. Stay tuned…

Twitter Hashtag Tips – How to Do it Right
Filed under: Social Media
By Vincent Driscoll, ASI
Too often I've seen tweets in my feed that are less utilitarian in nature and seem more like a spammy pound-sign party.
Example: #Tips on how to #Help #Clients increase #Social #Media following.
If you're guilty of composing tweets likes this, haphazardly hashtagging every other word without any clue why, then I have just one thing to say to you: Stop, you're doing it wrong!
By definition, tweets lend themselves to a single thought, which is why the character limit is 140. That's very little room to work with, especially when you consider you also need room for spaces, hashtags, account tags (@) and links. So you have to be precise in your messaging and succinct in your execution.
Hashtagging – which involves adding the pound sign (#) directly in front of a word (or multiple words without spaces) – is a clever way to turn words or phrase into searchable links. This basically allows you to organize content and track discussion topics based on those words and phrases, and should be done only to supplement your message.
For instance, if I'm tweeting out a video that showcases new promotional products for the tech industry, this is how it might look:
Check out some great new #promoproducts for the tech industry. #TechGadgets
My message is clear: I've got a video I want you to watch that showcases the latest and greatest in promotional items geared toward the technology industry.
And my execution of the message is supplemented with two hashtags that could further assist my followers: the first one (#promoproducts) takes you to discussions and links about promotional products; the second one might help you locate discussions and links about tech gadgets.
So if you're a distributor who sells to tech, my tweet might very well be a three-pronged launching pad to find some great new techie products.
On the opposite end of the helpful spectrum is the example tweet I posted earlier. If I were interested in learning more about social media and I read this tweet, then clicked on one of the hashtags – let's say #Tips – it would take me to any and all content hashtagged #Tips, not just tips about social media. Finding tips about how to change my oil is about as helpful here as tips about how to swing on a vine. It's too broad a hashtag and probably won't get clicked on.
With a little thought, I could re-write this tweet to maximize the impact of the hashtags:
#SocialMediaTips on how to help clients #IncreaseFollowing. [LINK]
#Tips has now been turned into #SocialMediaTips and narrows your search. #IncreaseFollowing is a common phrase in the social media realm and is specific to your topic. Including the link, your tweet now has three solid pieces of content that can help followers track down information regarding your message.
Here are a few other tips on how to hashtag in twitter:
Thanks for reading! And as always, please let me know your thoughts by posting a comment below.

Why Facebook Page's Like Totals Dropped And How You Can Find Out How Many
Filed under: Uncategorized
By Vincent Driscoll, ASI
If you're like me and manage a Facebook business page, you might've noticed a "small dip" in your overall Page Likes recently. According to Facebook, the drop in Likes is due to the removal of memorialized (deceased) and voluntarily deactivated accounts from your page. The vanishing Likes aren't legit anyway, says the social media giant, and will result in better consistency and business results going forward.
Ok, but how do Page Admins calculate this loss?
My business page — Advertising Specialty Institute — which has been active since 2009 and has over 7,000 Likes, lost 165 Likes or just around 2%. How do I know this? I found out the total number by downloading an Excel spreadsheet from the Insights tab of my Facebook Page, like so:
For my Page, the drop in Likes happened between March 6 and March 7 even though Facebook claims the drops will be after March 12. I'm sure it's just a general date when you're dealing with millions of Business Pages, so it might be different depending on your page.
However, the amount, though small, is not accounted for in the analytics. So what does that mean? It means that if you track Page Likes for your company, like me, you will now have to factor the loss into your future stats. Two percent may not seem like a lot, but if you're tracking to a goal it could mean the difference between success and failure.
And for those of you who have yet to see a drop, it might not even have happened yet … so keep your eyes open!
PS – If you've noticed any discrepancies in your Page Likes, let us know how many by posting below!

Industry events showcasing Dante audio networking <see all>
Auburn University's Jordan-Hare Stadium—the tenth largest on-campus football stadium in the NCAA—is now home to the largest HD video board in college sports. Designed, built and installed by Daktronics, in Brookings, S.D., this massive 197x57 square foot LED video display is accompanied by equally impactful high-quality sound, delivered over IP by a Dante audio network from Audinate.
Leading visitor experiences company Merlin Entertainments has revealed that it is making extensive use of Audinate's Dante audio networking technology at a variety of its London attractions. These include a number of popular sites on the city's South Bank, including the Coca-Cola London Eye, SEA LIFE London Aquarium and Shrek's Adventure! London.
The Dante Accelerator audio interface card (Yamaha AIC 128-D) can be installed in the computer running the Nuendo DAW to provide extra low-latency transfer of as many as 128 simultaneous channels of audio data, for a distinct performance advantage when communicating with Nuage I/O units.

Some loopholes to save quantum nonlocality750(2005); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1874552View Description Hide Description
The EPR‐chameleon experiment has closed a long standing debate between the supporters of quantum nonlocality and the thesis of quantum probability according to which the essence of the quantum pecularity is non Kolmogorovianity rather than non locality.
The theory of adaptive systems (symbolized by the chameleon effect) provides a natural intuition for the emergence of non‐Kolmogorovian statistics from classical deterministic dynamical systems. These developments are quickly reviewed and in conclusion some comments are introduced on recent attempts to "reconstruct history" on the lines described by Orwell in "1984".
The Quantum Stalemate750(2005); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1874553View Description Hide Description
The purpose of this paper is to advocate for more thorough investigations of EPR experiments with photons, and in particular of the main remaining loophole (i.e., the low detection efficiency loophole) using some recent proposals to circumvent this problem.
The quantum measurement process in an exactly solvable model750(2005); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1874554View Description Hide Description
An exactly solvable model for a quantum measurement is discussed which is governed by hamiltonian quantum dynamics. The z‐component ŝz of a spin is measured with an apparatus, which itself consists of magnet coupled to a bath. The initial state of the magnet is a metastable paramagnet, while the bath starts in a thermal, gibbsian state. Conditions are such that the act of measurement drives the magnet in the up or down ferromagnetic state according to the sign of sz of the tested spin. The quantum measurement goes in two steps. On a timescale the off‐diagonal elements of the spin's density matrix vanish due to a unitary evolution of the tested spin and the N apparatus spins; on a larger but still short timescale this is made definite by the bath. Then the system is in a 'classical' state, having a diagonal density matrix. The registration of that state is a quantum process which can already be understood from classical statistical mechanics. The von Neumann collapse and the Born rule are derived rather than postulated.
Single‐photon generation and simultaneous observation of wave and particle properties750(2005); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1874555View Description Hide Description
We describe an experiment in that generates single photons on demand and measures properties accounted to both particle and wave‐like features of light. The measurement is performed by exploiting data that are sampled simultaneously in a single experimental run.
Quantum Tomography and Verification of Generalized Bell‐CHSH Inequalities750(2005); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1874556View Description Hide Description
It is shown that verification procedure of Bell inequalities consists of three parts. The first stage of verification procedure is consist of measurements of a set of spin correlations. Using them one can reconstruct a density matrix of two‐particle state. It can be done with the help of quantum tomography technique. At the second stage one must construct a generalized Bell inequality corresponding to this state. This inequality must be constructed in two forms: within the framework of the traditional formulation of quantum mechanics and in the frames of a local hidden variables theory. Only after that the results of experimental measurements can be compared with theoretical predictions. It is a third stage of verification.
Epistemic and Ontic Quantum Realities750(2005); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1874557View Description Hide Description
Quantum theory has provoked intense discussions about its interpretation since its pioneer days, beginning with Bohr's view of quantum theory as a theory of knowledge. We show that such an epistemic perspective can be consistently complemented by Einstein's ontically oriented position.
MUBs, Polytopes, and Finite Geometries750(2005); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1874558View Description Hide Description
A complete set of N + 1 mutually unbiased bases (MUBs) exists in Hilbert spaces of dimension N = pk , where p is a prime number. They mesh naturally with finite affine planes of order N, that exist when N = pk . The existence of MUBs for other values of N is an open question, and the same is true for finite affine planes. I explore the question whether the existence of complete sets of MUBs is directly related to the existence of finite affine planes. Both questions can be shown to be geometrical questions about a convex polytope, but not in any obvious way the same question.
On the vector Helmholtz equation in toroidal waveguides750(2005); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1874559View Description Hide Description
A wave splitting method is proposed to solve the problem of propagation of microwaves in a circular waveguide bend of circular cross section. The splitting method, applied to the vector Helmholtz equation, gives a stable solution in terms of waves propagating to the right and to the left in the bend. The formulation is particularly transparent for analyzing the scattering properties of toroidal bends. The basis for the transparency of the method is that the wave splitting is formally exact as the exponential of the square root of a differential operator. The modal functions of the straight cylindrical waveguide are chosen as basis functions in the transverse quasi‐toroidal variables.
Not What Models Are, But What Models Do750(2005); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1874560View Description Hide Description
A distinction between two types of models is proposed based on the articulated recognition that different models are brought to play different roles in the process of theory‐building.
Tracing the bounds on Bell‐type inequalities750(2005); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1874561View Description Hide Description
Bell‐type inequalities and violations thereof reveal the fundamental differences between standard probability theory and its quantum counterpart. In the course of previous investigations ultimate bounds on quantum mechanical violations have been found. For example, Tsirelson's bound constitutes a global upper limit for quantum violations of the Clauser‐Horne‐Shimony‐Holt (CHSH) and the Clauser‐Horne (CH) inequalities. Here we investigate a method for calculating the precise quantum bounds on arbitrary Bell‐type inequalities by solving the eigenvalue problem for the operator associated with each Bell‐type inequality. Thereby, we use the min‐max principle to calculate the norm of these self‐adjoint operators from the maximal eigenvalue yielding the upper bound for a particular set of measurement parameters. The eigenvectors corresponding to the maximal eigenvalues provide the quantum state for which a Bell‐type inequality is maximally violated.
Quantum Filtering Theory and the Filtering Interpretation750(2005); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1874562View Description Hide Description
Starting from an elementary level we present the theory of quantum filtering. The physical and philosophical principles of stochastic master equations describing the dynamics of a continuously observed quantum system are explained in terms of quantum filtering equations. We believe these principles constitute a consistent interpretation of quantum theory and measurement.
A Non‐Intuitionist's Approach To The Interpretation Problem Of Quantum Mechanics750(2005); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1874563View Description Hide Description
A philosophy of physics called "linguistic empiricism" is presented and applied to the interpretation problem of quantum mechanics. This philosophical position is based on the works of Jacques Derrida. The main propositions are (i) that meaning, included the meaning attached to observations, are language‐dependent and (ii) that mathematics in physics should be considered as a proper language, not necessary translatable to a more basic language of intuition and immediate experience. This has fundamental implications for quantum mechanics, which is a mathematically coherent and consistent theory; its interpretation problem is associated with its lack of physical images expressible in ordinary language.
Distributivity breaking and macroscopic quantum games750(2005); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1874564View Description Hide Description
Examples of games between two partners with mixed strategies, calculated by the use of the probability amplitude as some vector in Hilbert space are given. The games are macroscopic, no microscopic quantum agent is supposed. The reason for the use of the quantum formalism is in breaking of the distributivity property for the lattice of yes‐no questions arising due to the special rules of games. The rules of the games suppose two parts: the preparation and measurement. In the first part due to use of the quantum logical orthocomplemented non‐distributive lattice the partners freely choose the wave functions as descriptions of their strategies. The second part consists of classical games described by Boolean sublattices of the initial non‐Boolean lattice with same strategies which were chosen in the first part. Examples of games for spin one half are given. New Nash equilibria are found for some cases. Heisenberg uncertainty relations without the Planck constant are written for the "spin one half game".
Fuzzy Quantum Probability Theory750(2005); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1874565View Description Hide Description
This paper surveys some of the recent results that have been obtained in fuzzy quantum probability theory. In this theory fuzzy events are represented by quantum effects and fuzzy random variables are represented by quantum measurements. Probabilities, conditional probabilities and sequential products of effects are discussed. The relationship between the law of total probability and compatibility of measurements is treated. Results concerning independent effects are given. Finally, properties of the sequential product, almost sharp effects and nearly sharp effects are discussed.
Fuzzy position and momentum observables750(2005); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1874566View Description Hide Description
The notion of a fuzzy observable is a possible way to describe imprecise measurements. We show that fuzzy versions of the usual position and momentum observables are exactly those observables which satisfy the natural covariance and invariance requirements. We characterize the class of fuzzy position and momentum observables which are informationally equivalent with the canonical position and momentum observables.
Quantum theory as a statistical theory under symmetry750(2005); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1874567View Description Hide Description
Both statistics and quantum theory deal with prediction using probability. We will show that there can be established a connection between these two areas. This will at the same time suggest a new, less formalistic way of looking upon basic quantum theory.
A total parameter space Φ, equipped with a group G of transformations, gives the mental image of some quantum system, in such a way that only certain components, functions of the total parameter φ can be estimated. Choose an experiment/question a, and get from this a parameter space Λ a , perhaps after some model reduction compatible with the group structure. As in statistics, it is important always to distinguish between observations and parameters, in particular between (minimal) observations ta and state variables (parameters) λ a . Let K a be the L2 ‐space of functions of ta , and let H a be the image of K a under the expectation operator of the model. The measure determining the L2‐spaces is the invariant measure under the maximal subgroup which induces a transformation on Λ a .
There is a unitary connection between K a and H a , and then under natural conditions between H a and H b for a and b are different. Thus there exists a common Hilbert space H such that H a equals Ua H for a unitary Ua . In agreement with the common formulation of quantum mechanics, the vectors of H are taken to represent the states of the system. The state interpretation is then: An ideal experiment E a has been performed, and the result of this experiment, disregarding measurement errors, is that the parameter λ a is equal to some fixed number . This essentially statistical construction leads under natural assumptions to the basic axioms of quantum mechanics, and thus implies a new statistical interpretation of this traditionally very formal theory. The probabilities are introduced via Born's formula, and this formula is proved from general, reasonable assumptions, essentially symmetry assumptions.
The theory is illustrated by a simple macroscopic example, and by the example of a spin particle. As a last example we show a connection to inference between related macroscropic experiments under symmetry. The result of this last example seems to have potential for being generalized considerably.
Bell's theorem: Critique of proofs with and without inequalities750(2005); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1874568View Description Hide Description
Most of the standard proofs of the Bell theorem are based on the Kolmogorov axioms of probability theory. We show that these proofs contain mathematical steps that cannot be reconciled with the Kolmogorov axioms. Specifically we demonstrate that these proofs ignore the conclusion of a theorem of Vorob'ev on the consistency of joint distributions. As a consequence Bell's theorem stated in its full generality remains unproven, in particular, for extended parameter spaces that are still objective local and that include instrument parameters that are correlated by both time and instrument settings. Although the Bell theorem correctly rules out certain small classes of hidden variables, for these extended parameter spaces the standard proofs come to a halt. The Greenberger‐Horne‐Zeilinger (GHZ) approach is based on similar fallacious arguments. For this case we are able to present an objective local computer experiment that simulates the experimental test of GHZ performed by Pan, Bouwmeester, Daniell, Weinfurter and Zeilinger and that directly contradicts their claim that Einstein‐local elements of reality can neither explain the results of quantum mechanical theory nor their experimental results.
Projection scheme for a reflected stochastic heat equation with additive noise750(2005); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1874569View Description Hide Description
We consider a projection scheme as a numerical solution of a reflected stochastic heat equation driven by a space‐time white noise. Convergence is obtained via a discrete contraction principle and known convergence results for numerical solutions of parabolic variational inequalities.
Degenerate Diffusions with regular Hamiltonians750(2005); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1874570View Description Hide Description
We consider the asymptotic behaviour for small time and small parameter of the heat kernel on the cotangent bundle of a Riemannian manifold defined by a stochastically perturbed geodesic flow generalizing WKB‐type methods to a diffusion corresponding to a particular regular degenerate Hamiltonian. For small time equivalence of the dynamics for the degenerate Hamiltonian system and for the system given by the corresponding Hamilton‐Jacobi equation is used.

There's Something Rotten in the Food ChainEnvironment
- Highlights
- watch now
In an era of urbanisation, fast food and 24 hour supermarkets, it is easy to forget where the food we eat comes from. A better understanding of our food production industries helps us make better choices for both our health and environment. Or so argued a group of writers and academics who gathered at the State Library of Queensland to discuss the "Food Chain" edition of the Griffith Review. Find out how backyard gardens, vertical farms, and learning to embrace wonky looking bananas may be some of the answers to our food production problems.
Virginia Balfour is a freelance journalist and a contributor to the edition of the Griffith Review entitled "Food Chain." She has trained in environmental policy and horticulture and has worked as a television producer and documentary maker focusing on environmental issues.
Tony Fry is an Adjunct Professor at the Queensland College of Art, in the Design Futures Program. He is a director of a design firm, Team D/E/S which focuses on sustainability in design. He is also a forest famer and leads an AusAID funded farming project in East Timor.
Professor Brendan Gleeson is the Centre Director of the Urban Research Program at Griffith University and is also a Professor of Urban Policy at the Griffith School of Environment. He has written and edited several books on urban space and planning.

It seems to me that when you look at why people in the cities don't grow your own food, you need to consider the social context - why DON'T people grow their own? Or to put it another way, what do they have to gain? When you can buy a banana at Woolies for a dollar, and you can get it exactly when you want it, without having to wait for them to ripen on the tree, that is a powerful argument for NOT growing your own. The reality is that when you consider the cost (and scarcity) of people's time and the inputs required to grow your own, and the lack of flexibility for the food that is produced, it s just not economical - and that's why people don't do it. If it is to be a viable activity it needs to have a dramatically different sociopolitical and economic context. When it's an economic and convenience no-brainer, then it will happen. Up to that point it will continue to be a middle class indulgence. So social & economic structures need to change to make this a possibility. Don't look at as an issue of morality - look at it as a problem of social engineering.

Hello there
Just a few comments about your urban farming etc.
I feel yes it is great to have back yard gardens. People who do have their own gardens I am sure they really do enjoy what they pick and eat. The idea of growing in central parks and gardens sounds great but more then likely your air, water and soils will be polluted. Not so great in this day and age. The populations are to big.
I do like the idea of growing lots of fruit trees in your parks etc. Maybe in your town or city you might get one or two oranges a year if you where lucky and Just think maybe a homeless person may get something for breakfast too. Do you really think the system wont's people to have free food. look you need to just face up to the facts about your systems. You have to buy your food from the supermarket.
Wake up you are dreaming.
You will find there are farms all around you now and you should demand the better quality and support them too. Not buying plastic apples from china or ten buck too. Yes what a joke. Soon you will not be able to grow a tomato in your back yard because some big company will own the patent for the genes.
Your urban farming plan sounds like something to do when we run out of land or for after the big bang. Sounds like you really need to get together and build a new car with a reverse. Not likely though.. Hope you enjoy the ride.
Lots of luck
Cheers from

HP FOSSology Project Analyzes Open Source Software
Hewlett-Packard has launched a project dubbed FOSSology to investigate and monitor the use of Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) in the enterprise.
The project name, FOSSology, stands for "the study of FOSS", as the authors reveal on the project homepage. Thus far, modules for license analysis, MIME type identification, and for extracting meta data exist, with more functions, such as software analysis agents to follow shortly. FOSSology has its origins in an internal control project which HP launched to help improve its own IT organization. " As part of HP's own internal IT governance process, we needed a tool that would quickly and accurately describe how a given open source project was licensed," say the developers talking about the project's origins. "Rather than simply collecting a project's advertised license (as given at their website or in their documentation), this tool needed to analyze all of the source code for a given project and intelligently report all of the licenses being used, based on the license declarations and tell-tale phrases that identify software licensing." Licensing statements and formulations are referred to for this. Developments soon expanded beyond the original ideas, and FOSSology's authors now regard their project as a comprehensive data mining framework. Data mining applies statistical and mathematical methods to investigate large volumes of data and identify rules and patterns.
HP has released FOSSology under the General Public License GPL v2 and hopes for active community involvement. The project's staff see broad target group: on the one hand, enterprises can use FOSSology to identify the FOSS licenses and programs deployed in their own IT. On the other, HP recommends the software to developers and distributors of free software, who will benefit from the ability to map and describe their own packages and projects with help from FOSSology. The project is looking to avoid legal pitfalls and has published a disclaimer to safeguard itself against claims. The website says: "In general, the analysis results are very good guesses, but should not be considered authoritative.".
The FOSSology website also has a list of projects that offer similar functionality, including the free OpenLogic software tool, and contributions by enterprises such as Palamida or Black Duck Software whose products help corporations ensure that their own developments do not infringe on third-party licenses or copyrights.

Teacher fired for showing high schoolers a dismemberment video
Author: Leeds Morelli & Brown, PC
"Teachers Rights Attorneys"
A Montreal teacher was fired from his position after showing his students a video containing the killing, dismemberment, and cannibalism of a gay porn actor. The actor/student Jun Lin was supposedly killed in May of this year in a horrific manner. On June 4, 2012, German law enforcement arrested the suspected killer Magnotta. The killer had posted the video online, which is how it came to be presented in a Montreal school. The history teacher regularly talked about current events and played the video in class upon the requests of the students. The vice principal overheard students talking about the video at which time the teacher was immediately suspended and later fired from his job. Full article.
New York, teachers are evaluated by state education officials and the teachers' unions compromised on the framework of a system to evaluate teachers based on their classroom performance, their success at raising students' test scores, and other measures. Barring an employment agreement or contract stating otherwise, New York is an "at-will" employment state. This means that an employer can fire an employee for almost any reason. Most non-tenured teachers are at-will employees. As such, they are not granted special protections against termination. If you signed a contract with the district, you may have additional rights, but these agreements generally will not change your at-will status. You may also have additional rights as provided by the collective bargaining agreement negotiated by your union and the district. An attorney experienced in employment law can review employment contracts and collective bargaining agreements to see what protections, if any, the contracts provide.
The attorneys at Leeds, Morelli & Brown, P.C., represent students, teachers, professors, adjunct faculty, administrators, board members and others who work in the primary or secondary levels of education, and who have been mistreated in some way by their employers. Generally, our education and tenure law practice is devoted to clients on Long Island and elsewhere in the New York City area. Please contact Leeds, Morelli & Brown, PC for a free consultation.

Take the Sabbath rest; you need it body and soul
Published: Friday, April 27, 2007 at 6:44 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, April 27, 2007 at 11:32 a.m.
A year or so ago I visited with an Episcopal priest friend who had just been on retreat. He heard Barbara Brown Taylor. Taylor, an Episcopal priest, lectured on self care. In order to be healthy, both physically and spiritually, we need to take care of ourselves -- body and soul. This visit came on the heels of a busy and stressful time in the parish I serve. I had not had a full day off in a number weeks, and the stress was showing. My friend loaned me a recording of the retreat, which was life changing. This article is a response to Taylors thoughts on the Ten Commandments.
Have you ever broken any of the Ten Commandments? Most of us would immediately say "no" to this question. The Commandments order life in community with God and others. There are commands to treat others well: honor parents, dont murder, dont commit adultery, dont steal, dont spread rumors about neighbors and dont covet your neighbors possessions. Most of us do pretty well with these commandments. In order to live in a civilized society these are good rules. These rules maintain social order. These rules civilize us. Of the Ten Commandments, most of us have done pretty well with these six.
There are also commandments on how to live in community with God: have no gods other than Yahweh, make no idols, dont make wrongful use of Gods name, remember the Sabbath day and keep it holy.
Most of us also do pretty well with the first three of these commands. Christians, Jews and Muslims all claim to be monotheistic -- honoring one God. Idols are foreign to our experience. Protestants removed religious art and icons from churches to avoid even a remote chance that idolatry would be found in their churches.
Most of us dont take Gods name in vain either. In the house I grew up in, we could have our mouths washed out with soap if we even said "gosh" thinking it was just a substitute for "God." Scholars in the Jewish tradition today write G-d instead of taking the chance of using Gods name lightly. At the burning bush, when Moses asks for Gods name, God responds "I am who I am" (or "I will be who I will be"). The traditional Hebrew writes the name as YHWH -- an unpronounceable word without vowels translated Yahweh, God or the Lord. The very name of God remains a mystery. We know God by titles.
Most of us have done pretty well even in the commandments applying to God. But then there is the commandment that will serve as the topic for the remainder of this article: Remember the Sabbath day and keep it holy.
Why is it that the commandment we most need is the one we so easily break? The concept of Sabbath rest is simple. God creates the heavens and the earth, and all creatures and critters, swimming, crawling and walking, in the seas and on the earth -- including humans -- and takes a day off. God enjoys the creation. And because God takes a day off, we should take one day off each week, too. Not only should we enjoy a day a week free from work but everyone -- including animals -- should enjoy one day a week off. The Scripture tells us the Sabbath day is blessed and consecrated.
Consecrated is not a word that means something that is set apart or holy. Objects used for divine worship are consecrated. To use a communion chalice at a dinner party would not be right. We would not treat a chalice in such a common way. While a chalice is merely a goblet, because of its use for communion, it is consecrated, not something used at a dinner party. The same thing could be said about a church building itself. It has been consecrated for divine worship. Reverence is expected in a church. Hushed tones and quiet conversations are held respecting the sacred.
I grew up in a community with "blue laws" and in a family that had very clear ideas of what could and couldnt be done on Sundays. Blue laws officially closed stores and limited commerce on Sunday. In my household even the television was left off on Sundays. Over time, these restrictive rules changed, and it was not long before Sunday evenings were not very different than any other evening.
We need the Sabbath rest more that the Sabbath needs us. Are you breaking one of the Commandments? Enjoy a Sabbath rest this weekend.

I called CS today and was told she could not get info from the Reauthorization department and could not tell me what was going on. I asked to speak to a Manager and he told me I need to talk to GE Bank, the reauthorization, or value pay department. I let him know I've already talked with GE and there are no issues. I asked to speak to the next person in the chain of command and he told me there is nobody who oversees these departments or that could get the issue resolved. Neither the CS rep or the Manager were told by the other departments what the issue was and I need to talk with all the other departments again.
This leads me to believe this issue is with the ShopNBC CC. I think the issue is that ShopNBC used another credit card of mine without authorization a few months back and I disputed the charge with Cabela's. I talked with the Shop Reauthorization department about this unauthorized use many times and their attitude was "too bad -- We have your credit card numbers and we can use them whenever we want to." Wrong answer. Not only is this illegal but it caused problems with my Cabela's card and created more overdrawn issues due to unexpected charges. So I suspect all this is retaliation for my reporting their illegal behavior and they are dumb enough to think it helps them when I don't buy their products. DAH
I explained to them with their "Value Pay" stuff they are only authorized to use the card I used when I purchased the product. And they do not post their Value Pay payments timely so it is hard for me to determine what my balance is. And when I ask them what the balance is they do not know. I need to talk to another department. So I talk to the other department and there is no problem and I need to talk to another dept.... On and on it goes and no problem is found and none of the departments say what the problem is or what the solution is.
I'm left hanging so I strongly suggest people take their business elsewhere as I will. ShopNBC and GE are not ethical companies from what I've seen from this fiasco. So my warning to others is to shop elsewhere. I've had good service so far with HSN, QVC, and World of Watches so I would recommend them. BTW - my ShopNBC CC is still good enough for them to satisfy other Value Pays I have with them. Why they will not do it for another payment in Dec. is beyond me (and them also I guess). Interesting.

No mention of the CleanseAware, so I contacted their tracker E mail address, but did not get any constructive response. I did not bother to chase this item any further.
The AcaiReduce product did eventually arrive in the post.
It wasn't until I checked my Credit Card Statement on the 27th May that I realised that I had been charged the full price of 123.05 GBP, for the two items, even though one of those items was not invoiced or recieved by me.
At this point I came across your web site and the report submitted by Christa Weber of Emerald Beach, Australia. So I thought I would contact youselves and back-up her claims.
I have contacted my credit card company and hopefully they will be able reclaim the 120.10 GBP on my behalf and to stop any possible future withdrawalls from my acount.

NJCCR Fellowships awarded to Molecular Biology
- Details
- Posted on September 06, 2013
Joanna Haye and Chase Hulderman, graduate students in Rose/Gammie and Kang labs, were awarded the NJCCR pre-doctoral fellowship. The long term goal of Joanna Haye's proposal "Understanding the mechanism of DNA mismatch repair" is to gain a better understanding of the mechanism of DNA mismatch repair. This will open new avenues for discovery of targeted therapeutics for hereditary and sporadic cancers caused by defects in DNA mismatch repair. The proposal from Chase Hulderman, an MD/PhD student, 'Ubiquitin-dependent regulation of EMT and metastasis' hypothesizes that E3 ubiquitin ligases may play crucial roles in regulating breast cancer metastasis by targeting master transcriptional regulators of metastasis for ubiquitination and degradation. In his proposed study, Chase will use a series of biochemical analyses, in vitro and in vivo metastasis assays, and clinical correlation studies to investigate the role of candidate ligases in breast cancer progression and metastasis. This study will lay the foundation for systemically identify E3 ligases and deubiquitinases involved in the post-translational regulation of EMT transcriptional factors and other metastasis-related proteins.
In addition, Dr. Mo Weng, a postdoctoral fellow in the Wieschaus lab, and Antoni Celia-Terrassa, a postdoctoral fellow in the Kang laboratory, were awarded the NJCCR post-doctoral fellowships. Dr. Weng's proposal "Mechanical force-induced cell-cell junction remodeling" explores the role of mechanical force in remodeling adherents junctions in the context of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) – a process that is essential for normal development and greatly resembles the initial phase of cancer metastasis. Dr. Celia-Terrassa plans to evaluate the role of secreted exosomal miRNAs in breast cancer progression and metastasis. Recent studies have implicated secreted exosomes (microvesicles) as a new system of intercellular communication involved in physiological and pathological processes, including cancer. This exosomes have been shown to carry and transfer functional miRNAs in addition to proteins, providing a novel angle for study cancer metastasis.

There is always a lot of talk and questions asked about who makes the field of 68 for the NCAA tournament and what seeds they are, but seldom does anyone address the favoritism shown in where some of the teams play.
Fans of No. 1 seeds seem to think that they should have a home court or at least an area court advantage due to the fact that they are, in fact, the No. 1 seed.
I can buy that some though I would argue if you are in fact the No. 1 seed the site of the game shouldn't matter.
Veteran Fillies Track Coach Danny Simpson is a positive thinker and motivator with the Fillies tracksters as they enter the outdoor portion of the 2012 track season.
Simpson simply states, "The potential is there to have our best team in years," when he discusses the 2012 Fillies. Simpson's positive attitude is not one of false promise, however, as the Fillies are loaded in many of the events which make up a track meet.
Harrison County Thorobreds Track Coach Robert Walker is not one to talk a bigger game than he can play.
Walker generally understates his team's abilities until they have proven on the track and in the field that they are able to perform to a high level.
So, when Robert Walker says the team's strengths are "everything" one sits up and takes notice.
Harrison County bowlers compete
in region this Saturday
The Harrison County High School bowling team, headed by Coach Petey Reynolds, will compete Saturday in Lexington in the regional tournament.
The girls, after a fast start, have struggled in the latter part of the season and hope to right the ship in the regional tussle. The Fillies record is 9-4 in matches and 50-41 in games.
Head tennis coach Kara Mattox welcomes back to the courts on the Hilltop many veteran players including 10 seniors along with some newcomers who she hopes can contribute before the season is too far along.
All of these veterans returning and the chance to host the 2012 Regional Tournament have the tennis faithful abuzz about the upcoming season.
Harrison County High School softball coach Christine Garnett enters her fifth year as the leader of the Fillies with an unusual mixture of experience and youth.
What is most unusual is that the youth also have some of the experience.
The Mason Dixon Games is a long-running prestigious indoor track meet which is considered the state championships of the indoor season.
The Harrison County track teams performed at Broadbent Arena Saturday and came away with very impressive showings in this tough competition.
The Fillies had fewer participants than the Thorobreds but came away with a state champion in shot put, Natasha Ingram. Ingram heaved the round ball 30 feet, 8 inches to place her name in a select group of Harrison County athletes in the sport of track and field.
Friday morning while taking the Princess to school along with Ian and Riley, I drove past Commissioner Billy Grayson in the city parking lot next to the City Hall Gym.
He invited me into the gym to see how the work was coming along and discuss for a few minutes the meeting held on Tuesday.
It was my idea to discuss Tuesday as Billy was not pushing this issue, but after reading the Democrat report on the meeting I was curious as to his take on the meeting.
Harrison County Middle School sixth grader Matthew McCarty set the early pace in the 2012 Region 8 archery tournament with a score of 287, but it was his unflappable performance in a pressure-packed tiebreaker shoot-off that helped propel him to the Region 8 overall male champion.
In the process, he also led all male shooters in the elementary division to capture that title as well. Shooting against an Augusta Independent sophomore, McCarty drilled the 5-arrow playoff to outshoot his opponent 45-39.

In order to keep a home safe for children, it is important that parents provide good housekeeping to keep their home clean for their children.
You should have a good housekeeping staff in your office so that it has a good professional feel to it.
The housekeeping showed up very early and I told them to go away and come back in an hour or two, when I was gone.

Caricature art for wedding gifts is a perennially popular idea. Here we have a happy couple – she who loves shopping and he who loves golf.
The great aspect of custom art for a wedding gift is that you can include interests and hobbies easily.

There is never a better time than now for a lasting gift for the one you love. It can be for no reason, or to mark an anniversary…now is the time for your couple caricature.
Here is a delightful couple caricature artwork by caricature artist George.
Ideal as wall art, scree saver, background on you cell phone or t-shirt or coffee mug 😉
I was going to title this post "Why your Mother was Wrong when she Stopped you Pulling Faces in Family Photos". Bit long, but I still have the same thing to say…a straight face is a bad and even worse, a Boring face.
A smile is better, but when it comes to the world of humorous art, pulling a funny face for your photo makes a great caricature. What we don't want are passport or drivers licence style expressions. Keep those for your morgue photos.
Here is a recent example created by Harry, there the client's staff rose to the occasion and were not only willing but eager to have their photos taken with wacky expressions!!
Sure as this was a caricature of the guys doing the haka meant they were more inclined to pull a face in front of the camera, but having some fun expressions really opens up the opportunity for something truly creative.
Next time you are wanting a fun caricature for a family caricature (oh WOW, couldn't we have some fun!) retirement, birthday, anniversary, or even wedding invitation (no better time to pull a face) remember, have fun!!
Questions or comment, please let me know 🙂
