Market guideZillow predicts Oklahoma home values will rise 1.7% next year. Among 74469 homes, this home is valued 23% less than the midpoint (median) home, and is valued 40.7% less per square foot.
Foreclosures will be a factor impacting home values in the next several years. In 74469, the number of foreclosures waiting to be sold is 9.1% greater than in Muskogee Metro, and 104.2% higher than the national average. This higher local number may prevent 74469 home values from rising as quickly as other regions in Muskogee Metro.

PhysX SDK Support Comes Back To Linux
Published on 11 August 2010 09:07 AM EDT
Written by
Michael Larabel
107 Comments
Back in 2006 a start-up company known as AGEIA
launched the PhysX PPU
, the first Physics Processing Unit (PPU) for offloading physics calculations in games and applications that utilize the PhysX API onto this discrete processor for boosting overall system performance.
Even prior to the hardware launching
we talked to them about Linux support
and they mentioned it would be quite easy, but it wasn't a priority item for them due to the lack of games on Linux, especially those that could take advantage of their PhysX API to actually make such Linux hardware support useful. After the launch, AGEIA ended up providing support for their Software Development Kit on Linux, but without any Linux hardware drivers for their PhysX PPU cards.
AGEIA was ultimately
bought out by NVIDIA
and then NVIDIA ended up
bringing PhysX support to their CUDA architecture
that allowed PhysX to run atop modern NVIDIA GeForce graphics cards. However, the PhysX Linux SDK disappeared over the course of time. The good and interesting news today, however, is that this Linux SDK has returned.
In the
PhysX support center area
is now this message, "
Linux 32 & 64-bit SDK beta version 18.104.22.168 added 8-3-10 - send email to firstname.lastname@example.com if you want to participate in the Linux beta program. In your email, provide a description of how you plan to use the SDK - we are limiting the number of beta testers so make a good case.
So while the PhysX SDK is back up and running on Linux, it's currently in a semi-closed beta program. There's also more gaming-related news to be announced shortly, but if you follow us on the various social networks, you should already know there's announcements pending.

SFO to receive funding for Barclays probe - FT
(Reuters) - Britain's Serious Fraud Office (SFO) is expected to receive about 2 million pounds from the UK Treasury to support its criminal probe into the dealings between Barclays Plc and Qatar Holding, the Financial Times reported on Sunday.
Barclays is being investigated by the SFO and Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) for an allegation that the bank lent Qatar Holding, a part of the Qatar Investment Authority, money to invest in it as part of a rescue fundraising at the height of the 2008 financial crisis.
UK rules forbid a public company from giving financial assistance in order to acquire its shares or those of a parent company.
The bank has been deeply investigated by the FCA, which is now taking a back seat with the SFO probing into other parts of the fundraising, the FT said, citing people familiar with the matter.
A treasury spokesperson and the SFO declined to comment on the matter, while Barclays was not available for comments outside regular business hours.
David Green, the head of the SFO, has said he expects to secure extra funding from the government for some complex investigations, partly because the agency's annual budget has been slashed to around 30 million pounds - a fraction of the budget of some regional police forces.
Green, who has said he hopes for progress in the Barclays investigation by year end, is already receiving more than 3 million pounds per year in extra government funding the help with the largest and most complex inquiry on his books - the investigation into Libor rate rigging.
Some lawyers have argued that this so-called 'surge' or 'blockbuster' funding for specific investigations risks undermining the independence of the SFO, which is battling to restore faith in its crime-busting abilities.
Barclays, which publishes financial results on Tuesday, is expected to set out plans either to sell bonds that are wiped out if it hits trouble or to raise equity to meet tougher UK rules on capital.

Wyoming rallies but loses 37-34 to No. 18 Huskers
The Huskers looked like they would take control after going into halftime ahead 17-14.
Cross scored his second touchdown after he took a handoff, slipped up the middle, bounced off linebacker Jordan Stanton and spun around twice before finishing his 31-yard touchdown run for a 24-14 lead.
Nebraska went 67 yards in 15 plays on its next series, with Martinez lofting a 3-yard touchdown pass to Quincy Enunwa. Officials ruled Enunwa didn't get his foot down inbounds, but the call was overturned on video review.
Wyoming pulled to 31-21 when Brandon Miller caught a short pass from Smith and battled his way into the end zone for a 22-yard TD.
Nebraska has won all seven meetings with Wyoming and is 33-2 against current members of the Mountain West Conference.
The Cowboys went 64 yards in six plays on their second possession to take the early lead. Wick ran 37 yards down the sideline before Smith hit Claiborne with a 6-yard touchdown pass after getting flushed from the pocket.
Another big run, this one a 47-yarder by Smith, helped the Cowboys go up 14-10 early in the second quarter. Harvey Jackson made the touchdown-saving tackle on Smith, but Wick bulled into the end zone from 6 yards three plays later.
Nebraska regained the lead with 5:59 left in the half after Abdullah broke a career-long 62-yard run. He eluded Huff's diving tackle attempt before making it to the corner. He accelerated past Stanton and would have scored if Darrenn White, who had an angle on him, hadn't knocked him out of bounds at the Wyoming 18.
Cross went up the middle for 17 yards and fumbled, but receiver Quincy Enunwa recovered, and Cross went ran into the end zone on the next play for a 17-14 lead.
The game drew a school-record attendance of 91,185, made possible by a 6,000-seat addition to the east side of Memorial Stadium.

Here, in no particular order, are some perfectly reasonable reactions to the fact that the video for Nickelback's "Trying not to Love You" stars Jason Alexander as a sad barista:
1) What?
2) The hair-plugs are taking nicely, I see.
3) Now I want a fancy coffee.
4) It's not difficult trying not to love this.
5) Who came up with this idea and what is the punishment?
6) What?
7) Doesn't Alexander get residuals from Seinfeld?
8) Is Brooke Burns some sort of floating alien coffee thief programmed to trap Alexander as well as Alexander's evil twin?
9) Why is she wearing a bikini?
10) Why do villains so often have moustaches?

Mac OS X Zip Expanding Utility
Firefox (and possibly other applications) may ask you what you want to do with .zip archives that you download from the Internet. If you want to expand them with Mac OS X (rather than StuffIt Expander), you may be unsure of which application actually does the job. You're looking for Archive Utility (in Leopard and later) or BOMArchiveHelper (in Tiger). In either case, the application is stored in Hard Drive/System/Library/Core Services/. Don't move it from there, though, or you'll confuse matters.

My baby is 7w and for the past 3-4 days his pooping green. I only breast feed him, so I'm thinking now after I read the other posts that their bodies are going thru some similar changes. Good question for the doc at 2 month visit.
Posted 11/03/2012
Green spinach-like poo (if bf) means LO is getting all fore milk (the first more watery milk) instead of hind milk (the later thicker and creamier milk). I had that and now block feed (feed from only one side a feeding and if the feeding is short, use the same boob the next time)
Posted 11/03/2012
I wish that were the case for me but LO is FF :/
Posted 11/03/2012
It's totally normal for their stool to change all sorts of colors! At 6 weeks we changed from yellow seedy to slimy green and I freaked too, but its just because their digestive system is changing (acid fluctuating causes the color change!) However, Bf moms should be concerned about foamy green that smells bad which indicates the foremilk/hindmilk imbalance.

Nobel Peace Prize auctioned for $1.16M in Maryland
A 1936 Nobel Peace Prize discovered at a South American pawn shop has been sold at auction in Baltimore for $1.16 million.
Associated Press
A 1936 Nobel Peace Prize discovered at a South American pawn shop has been sold at auction in Baltimore for $1.16 million.
Brian Kendrella, president of New York-based Stack's Bowers Galleries, says the auction drew half a dozen bidders from six countries. The winning bidder Thursday was an individual collector from Asia who asked to remain anonymous.
The prize sold for a winning bid of $950,000 at auction, and an additional buyer's commission brought the final sale price to $1.16 million.
This is only the second Nobel Peace Prize to come to auction. This award marked the first time someone from Latin America received the honor. The 1936 recipient was Argentina's foreign minister, Carlos Saavedra Lamas.
The prize sold for far more than the gallery's estimate of $50,000 to $100,000. The only other Nobel Peace Prize known to have sold at auction was a 1903 medal that brought nearly $17,000 in 1985.

Jets keeping farm team in Newfoundland through 2015-16
Sep 4, 2014, 1:15 PM EDT
You may recall back in January when it was reported that the Winnipeg Jets were on the verge of moving their AHL affiliate from St. John's, Newfoundland, to Thunder Bay, Ontario.
Well, not so fast. Yesterday, it was announced that the IceCaps will remain the Jets' farm team through the 2015-16 season.
From the Winnipeg Free Press:
The extension in St. John's will do two things for the Jets.
In the short term, it will give a boost to the AHL organization there, whose ticket sales were lagging with the reality of the team's departure at the end of the season coming closer. Every AHL regular-season and playoff game at Mile One Centre, the team's home, has been sold out since the Jets moved the franchise there.
The other matter for the Jets is it will let them see how things are going to shake out with the expected shift of several AHL franchises for the 2015-16 season. No agreement has been finalized, but a move is underway by west-coast-based NHL clubs to have their affiliates near the west coast and as many as six teams could be playing in an AHL Pacific division by next fall.
Meanwhile, for hockey fans in Newfoundland, as the St. John's Telegram writes, the deal gives the IceCaps "more time to work a deal and cozy up with another NHL partner."

Seems like a dedicated fanbase with all their sellouts, I'm always glad to see deserving cities keep their teams.
- mikebel11 - Sep 4, 2014 at 10:49 PM
The arena in Thuner Bay won't be built until 2017 so that's no surprise as they would have nowhere to play if they moved any sooner. There was never any talk of them moving next season. That seems to have just been assumed by media reports.
- frankiesweep - Sep 5, 2014 at 4:06 PM
The one team where players don't want to get called up to play in the big team's city.

Yeah, it sucks playing in front of the loudest fans in a jam-packed house, eh? Must be horrible.
- Hard to BeLeaf - Sep 5, 2014 at 8:09 PM
That feeling goes away about two seconds after they get their first NHL paycheck.

The leadership landscape of the insurance industry is poised to undergo monumental changes during the next 10 years. Currently, the fraction of professionals aged 55 and older within the insurance industry is nearly 30 percent higher than that same fraction measured within the economy as a whole. In addition, almost 25 percent of the current workforce is predicted to be on the verge of retirement by 2018. At this rate, experts estimate the industry will need to fill 400,000 positions by 2020 in order to remain fully staffed.
Topics: Labor Market, Retention
The most important part of any organization is its employees. The effective engagement of employees can be the difference between business success and failure. However, as mentioned in a previous blog post, Gallup reports that 63% of U.S. employees are unhappy with their jobs, while 24% actively hate their position. Together, these number reflect a bleak reality where just over 1 in 10 U.S. employees actually enjoy their work.

The crunch is on! As analytics and big data shape the future of the insurance industry and the demand for high-quality talent continues to grow, insurance organizations are faced with the difficult task of finding experienced data and analytics professionals amid a challenging recruiting climate. Already, the U.S. is expected to see a shortfall of more than 260,000 analytics professionals as early as next year.

The results are in!
The results from our third quarter iteration of the U.S. Insurance Labor Outlook Study are now available. Compared to the January 2014 survey, the rate of expected hiring experienced a slight decrease, down to 58%; however, this remains the second highest reading since we started the semi-annual survey back in 2009. In addition, unemployment continues to be low, with the BLS reporting the August 2014 rate for insurance at 2.4%. The industry is clearly enjoying an extended period of relative stability.

As more and more insurers find the value in leveraging data analytics throughout their organizations, the demand for high-quality, experienced data and analytics professionals is on the rise. Alas, the insurance industry is not the only one looking to expand its analytics presence. With a shallow pool of qualified analytics talent, insurance organizations are facing an increasingly challenging recruiting climate as they attempt to address their analytics and big data needs.
As mentioned in our recent analytics blog post, the demand for actuarial talent in 2014 was surpassed by analytics for the first time in the history of The Jacobson Group and Ward Group's Semi-Annual U.S. Insurance Labor Outlook Study. In addition, analytics ranks in the top five most in-demand job functions, as well as in the top five areas where companies are planning to increase staff throughout the year.
Topics: Technology, Analytics
From analytics to big data, red-hot technology buzzwords are sweeping across the insurance industry and companies are beginning to realize the significant value of these trends. Progressive insurance organizations are embracing these groundbreaking applications of technology and changing the way the industry does business.
For many insurance organizations, the use of analytics has become a tool allowing them to differentiate themselves, stay ahead of the curve, build their brands, enhance profitability and gain a leg-up in today's competitive market.

It's almost that time again. Open healthcare enrollment for 2015 is quickly approaching. With the recently announced postponement, enrollment is now slated to run from November 15, 2014, through January 15, 2015. Despite the one-month delay, most insurers already fear that the 2015 enrollment period will prove to be rockier than the inaugural Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) enrollment period.

The insurance industry is way behind the times. There are no opportunities for me to advance my career. It's a stale industry that fails to embrace change.
We've heard it all before.
Topics: Managed Care, Millennials, Property and Casualty, Life and Disability
The first half of 2014 is looking strong for the insurance industry talent market. Employment is on the rise and the current unemployment rate has reverted to levels the industry has not seen since before the Great Recession.
While continued economic recovery (albeit slow) has driven gains in throughout the insurance industries, the health insurance industry has seen the second greatest gains so far this year, following agencies/brokerages. Driving this momentum is the wave of hiring that has accompanied the implementation of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA). While the new health insurance law officially took effect in March of 2010, many of its major provisions—including the health insurance exchanges—were phased in this past January.
