More and more interference-mitigating algorithms are being investigated in an attempt to increase the capacity of code-division multiple-access radio networks. At the moment, the main question about interference-resilient receivers is: do they really bring forth the capacity increase they promise on theoretical grounds? The aim of this study is to give a preliminary answer to such a question, through the capacity analysis of the forward link of a multisatellite, multibeam, radio communication network. Specifically, starting from simplified yet realistic assumptions on the beam layout, the antenna footprint shape, and the coding/multiplexing/modulation and power control strategies, it is shown that the blind, adaptive, interference-mitigation receiver, selected as an appealing representative of the lot, can indeed boost the system quality of service in terms of outage probability. The results are derived after a mix of theoretical analysis (as far as the detector performance evaluation is concerned) and simulation (to examine a number of different random system configurations) to circumvent the inherent complexity of the issue

Keep the Opportunities, Lose the Opportunists
Oxford BioTherapeutics (OBT) will develop new cancer drugs with Boehringer Ingelheim (BI) by identifying new antibody targets, then granting BI rights to develop and commercialize the resulting new antibody products, under a collaboration the companies announced today.
In return for granting rights to BI, OBT will receive an undisclosed up-front payment and FTE funding for activities under the collaboration. OBT will also be eligible for certain milestone payments upon achievement of undisclosed discovery, development, and commercialization milestones, as well as royalties on sales of any resulting products.
"Selecting the right target is fundamental for the successful development of a first-in-class antibody product drug, and we are delighted to collaborate with a company of the caliber of BI in this exciting area of cancer antibody development," Christian Rohlff, OBT's CEO, said in a statement.
Under the collaboration with BI, OBT will use its Oxford Genome Anatomy Project (OGAP®) database, designed to enable identification of best-in-class targets and biomarkers. According to OBT, OGAP represents the world's largest collections of disease-associated proteins, with proteomic data on more than 7,500 cancer membrane proteins and protein disease expression information covering more than three-quarters of the entire human proteome.
More than two million human protein fragments have been sequenced in OGAP in 50 different human tissues representing 60 diseases, including 25 forms of cancer.
BI becomes the latest biopharma giant to team up with OBT toward development of cancer medicines and tailored diagnostics based on development of therapeutic antibody and biomarker targets through OGAP. OBT has formed OGAP-based collaborations with Seattle Genetics, Medarex (since acquired by Bristol-Myers Squibb), Amgen, Biosite (now Alere), and BioWa, as well as development alliances with Sanofi and Menarini.
In the Menarini alliance, announced last October, OBT agreed to provide cancer target, antibody, and arming technologies toward development of five of OBT's antibody and antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) programs—each of which addresses a different cancer indication via a different oncology target—while Menarini agreed to lead efforts in the manufacture and clinical development of each program.
Established in 2004, OBT is privately held and based near Oxford, U.K.

I tried to queue up a bunch of emails with large file attachments in Thunderbird 9 and it immediately tried to send each one when I clicked send. The large amount of simultaneous emails choked my SMTP server connection and they failed.
Is there a way to configure Thunderbird to actually make use of the outbox and send emails one by one the way my Outlook 2010 does?

Here's a look at what's buzzing in the book world today:
Cooper takes on Chris Kyle: Bradley Cooper, who announced last May that he would produce an adaptation of American Sniper, the autobiography of ex-Navy SEAL Chris Kyle, will also star in the biopic and has fast-tracked the project after Kyle died last week, The New York Post reports.
Cornwall case: Patricia Cornwall has testified in a lawsuit against her former money management company that it improperly invested $89 million of her fortune and caused her to be unable to focus on her writing, while the firm claims she spent the money on a lavish lifestyle.
Geico Gecko book: Could he be the world's smallest author? Geico's "spokeslizard," the Gecko, has written and illustrated a book, called You're Only Human: A Guide To Life, to be released in April, Businessweek reports.
Macmillan settles: Macmillan, the final publisher holdout in the Department of Justice's e-book antitrust suit, has settled in the case, saying "the potential penalties became too high to risk even the possibility of an unfavorable outcome."
Anne of Green Gables: L.M. Montgomery's classic red-headed, freckled heroine Anne of Green Gables gets quite the makeover in a new three-book set, which is causing outrage from some fans.
Spanish sales star: Nada Que Perder, the first volume of an autobiography of Edir Macedo, the controversial leader of the Brazil-based Universal Church of the Kingdom of God, is "breaking Spanish-language book records for sales."
A package deal: While handwritten letters may be mostly a thing of the past, package deliveries are at a high. Could Amazon deliveries save the U.S. Postal Service?
RIP Gail Lynn Frazer: Edgar Award-nominated mystery author Gail Lynn Frazer, who wrote under the pseudonym Margaret Frazer, has died at 66.

Interactive: A Visual Guide Inside Japan's Reactors
Workers at Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant in the northeastern coast of Japan have been struggling to keep reactors there from overheating. The troubles began March 11, when a massive earthquake and tsunami knocked out power at the facility, disabling cooling systems. Workers are now scrambling to cool the nuclear cores of three reactors, and there are new concerns about overheating in pools where spent nuclear fuel rods cool. Here's a visual guide to what's going inside the reactors.

I tried this recipe for my kids who like watermelon but aren't crazy about cucumbers. While the dish was all right, it did not remind me of watermelon on a hot day. It tasted like...cucumbers!
I was surprised these came out as good as they did. Just sugar and ice? So simple and so good. Thanks Kaarin!

Findings for PPC in Thousand Oaks
Thousand Oaks Ranks Amongst Least Expensive Markets for Google Adwords in USA
SEP's ongoing research into PPC Campaigns has revealed that Thousand Oaks was the 87th least expensive city in USA in keyword bids in Google Adwords for the month of May 2016. Thousand Oaks also ranks amongst the least expensive cities in California, ranking as number 14th. In the study, San Buenaventura ranked as the most expensive city in the country, while Ontario ranked as the least expensive city.
Month over Month Google Adwords Prices for Thousand Oaks Rise in May 2016
SEP's research shows that the average price of a click to advertisers targeting Thousand Oaks keywords increased by 12% in May 2016.
Google Adwords Keyword Prices 25% Higher in Thousand Oaks than Simi Valley
SEP's research also tracks Google Adwords price changes and trends in cities across Canada and the U.S. Recent data shows that average prices in Thousand Oaks are 25% higher than in Simi Valley. The average price of a click in Thousand Oaks is $14.17.
This price difference is understandable though, given the population of Simi Valley is less than Thousand Oaks, which generally means less competition and therefore lower prices.
To understand if prices in Thousand Oaks are relatively low, we also compared prices with Waco which has a similar population, and found the average price of a click in Thousand Oaks was 30% higher than in Waco. This suggests that perhaps Thousand Oaks prices are not relatively low.
The Price Rank shows how expensive keywords are in certain industry and segment relative to other cities in a country, region and province.

Hi there,
I've add a featured image box to my custom post type. As an admin, the box is showing up and I'm able to add images. But, as a Editor (role), the featured image box isn't showing (also not on pages and posts). I think it shouldn't be a difference in user role.
Does anyone know how this is possible?
Thanks in advance!

Looking at my database, none of the tables for this plugin are being created either. It makes me think that there might be an issue with the use of SQL Server vs MySQL.

What is the gallbladder?
The gallbladder is a sack like organ attached to, and tucked under, the liver. It has an important function in the digestive system. Digestion is the process of making nutrients and energy producing substances available to body tissues and cells.
The role of the gallbladder is to collect and store bile that the liver has produced and discharge it into the small intestine after a fatty meal. When functioning correctly a person is not aware of their gallbladder. However, if something does go wrong it can be very painful. One of the most common and painful complications is gallstones.
Why does the gallbladder produce bile?
Bile is a thick, bitter, yellowish or greenish fluid made in the liver and stored in the gallbladder. The function of bile is to neutralise the acidity of partially digested food in the duodenum, which is the first part of the small intestine. Bile is released from the gallbladder into the small intestine in response to the presence of food and is essential to the digestion of fats.
Food leaves the stomach as a thickish, acidic liquid called chyme and enters the duodenum. The duodenum makes and releases large quantities of mucus, which protects it from damage by acid and other enzymes in the chyme. The duodenum also receives pancreatic juices from the pancreas and considerable quantities of bile, which is made in the liver and stored in the gallbladder.
The liver produces approximately 1 litre of bile daily. Although over 95 per cent water, bile contains a wide range of chemicals including bile salts, mineral salts, cholesterol and bile pigments which give it a characteristic greenish colour.
How does bile move from the liver to the gallbladder to the duodenum?
Bile is made continuously by every cell in the liver. It flows from these cells and collects in minute channels between groups of liver cells called bile caniculi, which empty into bile ducts. From the bile ducts, bile drains into hepatic ducts, or exit tubes. Unless bile is needed immediately for digestion, it flows into the gallbladder.
Bile stays in the gall bladder until required for digestion. As food, especially fatty food, leaves the stomach and enters the duodenum a hormone called cholecystokinin is secreted. This hormone travels in the bloodstream to the gall bladder and makes its walls contract so that the stored bile is squeezed out. The bile flows down to the common bile duct, which is also a tube, and through a narrow gap which allows the bile to pass into the small intestine.
Why is bile important?
Bile's mineral salts, including bicarbonate, neutralise the acidity of the partially digested food. The role of the bile salts is to break down fats so the digestive enzymes can go to work. Bile salts also act as transporters further down the intestine firstly, enabling digested fats to transfer through the intestine wall and secondly, as carriers of vitamins A, D E and K.
The body is very conservative in its use of bile salts and recycles them as part of digestion. They are not destroyed after use but instead approximately 80-90 per cent are transported in blood back to the liver where they once again stimulate the secretion of more bile.
Bile contains the pigment bilirubin; a by-product of liver function. One of the liver's many functions is to breakdown worn out red blood cells. As this happens, the red pigment haemoglobin splits and forms the pigment biliverdin. Biliverdin quickly converts to bilirubin, which is yellowish brown, and is the reason for bile's colour. Bilirubin also encourages the intestine to work effectively, deodorises the faeces and contributes to the yellow colour of urine.
When the liver or gallbladder is not functioning correctly bilirubin accumulates in the blood and results in jaundice with the skin and whites of eyes looking yellow. Also, because not enough bile is reaching the intestine, faeces may be pale and greyish. Therefore jaundice and pale, greyish faeces are two symptoms that gallbladder function is not as it should be.
What are gallstones?
Even when bile production is normal other things can go wrong with the gallbladder. The most common of these is gallstones. Gallstones are small hard lumps of cholesterol, produced in the body by the breakdown of fats, which form in the gallbladder.
There are three kinds of gallstones. The first, mixed stones are the most common. They contain a mix of the bile pigment biliverdin and cholesterol. Mixed gallstones develop in clutches, up to 12 at a time. Secondly, cholesterol stones, as their name suggests, comprise mostly of cholesterol, grow up to 1.25cm in diameter and are large enough to block the common bile duct. The third, pigment stones are usually very small and occur in large numbers. They are made mostly of biliverdin, the green bile pigment. Pigment stones tend to form from illnesses affecting blood composition.
Gallstones are not automatically painful. Many people have gallbladder stones without being aware of them. However if a gallstone blocks the bile duct severe and repeated pain is probable. Depending on the severity and frequency of attacks, gallstones can be controlled with a healthy diet but may need surgery.

A federal guarantee for a securitization of real
estate development loans is a significant step in Mexico's
evolution to capital markets-based mortgage
Mexico's federally owned Sociedad Hipotecaria Federal (SHF)
laid the groundwork for its evolution into a federal mortgage
lending agency in October, when it partially guaranteed a $50
million securitization of bridge loans for private sector real
estate development financing company Metrofinanciera. The
guarantee enables Metrofinanciera to reduce its dependence on
financing from SHF and cultivate local institutional investors.
This in turn should cut its financing costs and enable it to
lend more competitively to real estate developers. J. Armando
Guzmán, executive director of Metrofinanciera, says the
transaction represents a significant step toward SHF's entering
the local debt markets and shows the continued efforts by local
finance companies in Mexico, called sofoles, to take a bigger
role in the housing market. Juan Pablo de Mollein, associate
director of Latin American...

text: NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Jack Welch's response to the criticism leveled at him for accusing President Obama of manipulating federal employment data for political gain is simply ridiculous. Sorry to revisit an issue I raised here last week , but Welch's response to the criticism he wrote in a Wall Street Journal op-ed demands further scrutiny because he is trying to avoid the real issue here. My criticism of Welch is not that he questioned the accuracy of the latest round of federal employment data. After all, there is always a torrent of analysis that spills forth after the politically consequential federal employment data is released, dissecting the numbers and questioning their validity every month -- and that's great. Government data deserves critical scrutiny, obviously -- just as the financial statements issued by companies like, say, General Electric ( GE) deserve scrutiny. But Welch wasn't just questioning the accuracy of the data. Let's recall what he wrote in his tweet: "Unbelievable jobs numbers..these Chicago guys will do anything..can't debate so change the numbers." The clear suggestion that the former GE CEO is making here is that President Obama and his team are a bunch of Chicago gangsters -- like Al Capone, I guess -- who resorted to somehow manipulating the federal employment data in an attempt to make up for the political damage they suffered after Obama's weak performance in the first presidential debate. So, rather than shed light on the underlying realities of the employment crisis that is plaguing the nation or add to the policy debates that are raging in this political season, this former leader of one of the country's leading companies takes a cheap swipe at one of the greatest cities in the U.S. and seeks to delegitimize Obama by suggesting corruption and fraud. I think that's a pathetic and childish thing for someone who is supposed to be a leader in our country to be doing -- especially at a time like this. It demonstrates a lack of character and class that is becoming all too common among the people in our society, like Welch, who are supposed to be setting an example that people can look up to and admire.

Postcard: Two Views of Rue Soufflot & Pantheon
This week's postcards offer two different views of one of my favorite intersections in all of Paris - Rue Soufflot at Boulevard St. Michel. This is right at the edge of the 6th and 5th Arrondisements, with the 6th behind you as you face the Latin Quarter in the 5th. If you were standing at this spot, the Jardins de Luxembourg would be behind you, with the Medici Fountain and all it's gorgeous lime walkways and chestnut trees.
I love this spot because it's a wonderful, colorful neighborhood that mixes families and students, parks and museums. The Sorbonne is just down the street, and the honored French of bygones past are held within the massive dome of the Pantheon. It's all very formal and informal at once. There's cafes, shops, tabacs, ice cream vendors with carts, and the best Sandwhich Grec (that's French for gyro) just up the way...
The first postcard is probably from just after World War I, judging by the clothes and the types of transportation. There's a bus, but there's also a few horse-drawn carts here and there... Meanwhile, the second one comes in much closer and shows a great reflection in the fountain of the roundabout. I'm assuming this shot is from the 1930s because of the cars. It also has a scalloped edge, and is from the famous postcard producer Guy.
As for Soufflot? He was the architect who built the Pantheon. Jacques-Germain Soufflot was the Controller of the King's Buildings in the final years of the Ancien Régime; he was also a representative figure in the artistic avant-garde of the Enlightenment. Several great national institutions wer designed by him (like the Louvre...) but the Pantheon is his greatest achievement.

#1 Winner: Conservatives and Republicans.
While a number of lefties are trying to say that the Republicans won because they ran a Moderate candidate in Bob McDonnell, that's a bit much after months of hearing how Bob McDonnell was such a right wing monster he was going to chain women to the kitchen sink. And what about Ken Cuccinelli? And the NY-23 race sent a message to the Republican Party – No more squishy liberal Republicans. They can't be trusted.
#1 Loser – Progressive Democrats.
Well, that was actually accomplished in June. The Primary put the Progressives away. Even Democrats have had enough of their Socialism, though most will not admit it. Massive losses this November in Virginia and New Jersey sent the message loud and clear. And the Progressives have their hands over their ears. Obama, Pelosi and the Progressive movement are all losers.
#2 Winner: Marriage
The Institution of Holy Matrimony, the union of one man and one woman. Marriage. In liberal leaning Maine, they said enough is enough. Do what you want to do, just not as a married couple.
#2 Loser: Gays and Lesbians
The end result of "in your face" is a massive backlash. This is not the beginning of discrimination and violence against homosexuals. It is a strong message that we are tired of your whining. Go do your thing and leave it at that.
#3 Winner: Virginia
With a fresh coat of RED paint, the voters of the Commonwealth began the return to her Conservative roots.
#3 Loser: Socialism
The results in Virginia were absolutely a repudiation of Obama.
#4 Winner: Issues based campaigning
Bob McDonnell, Bill Bolling and Ken Cuccinelli ran a clean campaign totally on the issues.
#4 Loser: Mud based campaigning
Creigh Deeds, Jody Wagner and Steve Shannon had absolutely no issues on which to run. All three failed to tell voters why they should vote for the three of them, and spent the entire campaign telling voters why they should not vote Republican. But there was no viable alternative offered.
#5 Winner: The 10th Amendment and the Constitution
It is no longer an irrelevant and ever changing document. Ken Cuccinelli will use the power of the Attorney General's office to keep Obama and Pelosi at a distance.
#5 Loser: More Big Government
The verdict is in. The era of big government is over. And the Conservatives are watching.

Fun, outgoing and kind looking for the same
I am someone who likes to have fun but also take my responsibilities very seriously. That being said, I am looking for someone who shares this balance of hard work and fun. I am kind, outgoing and very witty. I am looking for someone with the same qualities. My ideal partner is kind, funny, easy going, thoughtful, respectful, honest and family oriented. Am I asking for too much? That being said, I do work a lot and may not be as tech savvy as the rest of the world. If your interested, just be a tad patient; I'm not glued to my computer or phone, I like to live a little.
I have Dogs
I enjoy comedies, drama and the occasional horror film. Musically everything but rap. TV shows, court TV and the occasional reality show for some humor during the day. I like a lot of different food except sushi.
I enjoy day trips to quaint towns..while there shopping and dining..I also enjoy anything related to water, boating, fishing, etc,,or just relaxing on the beach. I really just like anything simple and low-keyed.

Las Vegas Bookies Fret Final NFL Week Odds Not Knowing Who Plays
The final week of the National Football League season has already started in Las Vegas.
Just behind the ticket counter on Dec. 17 at the Las Vegas Hotel SuperBook, oddsmakers finished the betting lines for the last regular season games -- which take place Dec. 29 -- before this week's games are even played.
The SuperBook posts opening odds on NFL games before anyone, helping to set the market for what's become a $6 billion-a-week worldwide business, according to Las Vegas-based handicapping information website Pregame.com. The final week of the regular season is among the most challenging for oddsmakers, who wrestle with late-season injuries, the motivation of teams out of playoff contention and whether other clubs preparing for the postseason will rest key players. Doing it as early as the SuperBook, with a full slate of games to be played before the final week, compounds the difficulty.
"It's kind of like a preseason week when you're trying to figure out who's going to play and how long they're going to play for meaningless games and adjust it for motivation," said Jay Kornegay, the SuperBook's vice president of race and sports operations. "There's always going to be matchups of teams that need to win and teams just playing out the season."
The city's largest sportsbook, the 30,000 square foot Las Vegas Hotel's SuperBook generally limits wagers on its opening odds to $3,000. That guideline stays the same when the odds are adjusted after Sunday's action and then rises to $10,000 the following day. By the end of the week they've taken several "healthy five-figure bets," Kornegay said.
$1.6 Billion
The advantage of being the world opener on gambling lines is that your book gets all the early action, according to Pregame president R.J. Bell. The downside is that you don't get to read the market. Nevada's 184 sportsbooks offering football wagers took in $1.6 billion in bets on pro and college games from November 2012 through October 2013, Nevada Gaming Association records show.
"It's your opinion against the rest of the world," Bell said by telephone. "That takes a lot of guts."
The sportsbook at the Stardust hotel, which closed in 2006, opened in 1976 after Congress lowered the tax on wagers to 2 percent from 10 percent. For years, it was the first with betting lines, said Bob Scucci, who ran the book.
"There was so much liability in hanging that opening line," Scucci, 49, now the regional director of race and sports for Paradise, Nevada-based Boyd Gaming said in a telephone interview. "You're going head to head against the sharpest bettors in the world and often times you're not on the right side."
Gambling Career
That worry isn't lost on the people who set odds and whose fascination with sports gambling translated into careers competing against people like themselves, with millions of dollars turning on final scores.
"My beer will go down a lot better if the book is winning," Kornegay said in a telephone interview. "We certainly take it home with us because we never close. There's always something on the line."
In Las Vegas, that's literal.
While some bookmakers incorporate power rankings based on performance and computer models, Kornegay and three of his colleagues use their combined 70 years of experience and reach a consensus. It's usually a quick process with few disputes, assistant manager Jeff Sherman said.
The general practice is that home-field advantage is worth three points and the spread is built off that, taking into consideration such factors as recent performance, motivation, injuries and a team's popularity. The lines are adjusted as oddsmakers seek to balance wagers on each team to reduce risk and profit off the amount they charge -- the vigorish -- to place the bets.
Vegas Vacation
Kornegay, 50, said he didn't know Las Vegas had sportsbooks when he made his first trip to the city for spring break about 30 years ago after being outvoted 7-1 by a group of friends from Colorado State University. Kornegay, who majored in restaurant business management, was hoping to sip margaritas on a Mexican beach and instead got sucked in by the books.
"I was so intrigued by them," said Kornegay, an Air Force brat who grew up watching sports with his father no matter where they lived. "While my friends were all playing $2 blackjack, I was in the book trying to figure it out."
He convinced his girlfriend, Pam, to move to Lake Tahoe, where he began his casino career before moving to Las Vegas. Married for 23 years, Pam now asks who they should be rooting for and whether they are giving or getting points while watching games together at home, Kornegay said.
Johnny Avello, the executive director of the Wynn Las Vegas Race and Sports Book, said it's difficult to leave work each day after more than 30 years in the business. He posted the opening lines for college football games for more than a decade until recently being surpassed by offshore books.
Home Work
"After a full day of being around it, sometimes I try to detach for an hour or so and then find out the results after the games," said the 61-year-old Avello, who grew up in Poughkeepsie, New York, and came to Las Vegas in 1979 after attending the now-defunct New York School of Gambling. "It's very hard to get away from what your decisions are."
The big losses can be especially memorable, such as when his sportsbook lost more than $1 million on the New York Giants' upset of the New England Patriots in the Super Bowl after the 2007 season, he said. The Patriots hadn't lost and were 12-point favorites.
"I know there are going to be some rocky roads and some real positive times," Avello said. "That's just the way the business is. It's a roller-coaster ride."
In 2012, it wasn't as much fun as an amusement park for Nevada sports books.
Losing Football
In the 12 months ending Oct. 31, Nevada casinos held on to a smaller percentage of the money handled from football bets than any other sports offering according to the state's Gaming Control Board. Their win percentage from pro and college football over that period was 3.66 percent, compared with 4.85 percent from baseball; 5.1 percent from basketball; 6.4 percent from slot machines; 11 percent from blackjack; all the way up to 32 percent from three-card poker. Only bingo, at 2.85 percent, is lower.
The reason for the skid in football revenue was one of the worst runs of luck that several oddsmakers said they could remember, as Nevada books lost $6.2 million on football bets in October 2012 and $5.3 million in November. This September, they made about $28 million on the sport.
The stress of being on the right side of decisions weighs hard on sports book operators, said Jay Rood, the director at the MGM Mirage in Las Vegas. Rood said he found himself yelling at a television when former Houston Texans coach Gary Kubiak collapsed at halftime of a Nov. 3 game two days after Denver Broncos coach John Fox left the team with a heart condition.
Times 16
"These coaches were dropping and I said to the TV, 'Try booking your sport and see how stressful that is,'" said Rood, who once ran the football pools in his dorm at New Mexico State University before coming to Las Vegas. "Everyone says these guys put in long hours and have lots of stress. Times that by 16 games a week."
Legal sports betting in Nevada represents around 1 percent of all sports betting in the U.S., according to the American Gaming Association, meaning football betting would be at least a $160 billion business.
Jimmy Vaccaro, 68, who manages the race and sportsbook at the South Point Casino, said interest in NFL gambling skyrocketed during the third quarter of the Jan. 26, 1986, Super Bowl, when 325-pound defensive lineman William "Refrigerator" Perry had a 1-yard touchdown run to give the Chicago Bears a 44-3 lead over the New England Patriots.
Refrigerator Touchdown
Vegas sports books had recently started offering proposition bets, and gave up to 100-1 odds on whether Perry, who had two rushing touchdowns that season, would score.
"I lost like $100,000 on that one play," said Vaccaro, whose own gambling interest started as a 12-year-old playing 25 cent spot sheets -- now called parlay cards -- at Louie's pool room outside Pittsburgh. "After that word got out, every newspaper in the country called guys like me because it was an unbelievable story and, in today's world, it went viral."
Football gambling has grown 12-fold since 1990 in Nevada, when records show $132 million was bet on the sport.
While the preparations for Week 17 are a sign for oddsmakers that their busiest season is drawing to an end, there's little time to take a breather, not with college football bowl season, the NFL playoffs leading up to the Super Bowl and then college basketball's national tournament beginning in March.
"It's just a change of seasons for us," Kornegay said. "We don't get a slowdown too much between the football season and March Madness. We usually have to make it through March before we can kind of take a knee."

I'm currently experimenting with irssi as my irc client of choice and I'm getting along pretty well.
BUT there is one thing I still need to get done. Somehow it isn't possible for me to use the usual CTRL+Left/Right to navigate between words in my input line.
For the record: I'm using irssi on a linux-box through a screen session brought to my windows machine via ssh/putty.
I already tried some key binding in irssi, maybe I did them wrong?
/bind meta-n backward_word
/bind meta-m forward_word
both work fine. But neither
/bind ^left backward_word
/bind ^right backward_word
/bind cleft-left backward_word
/bind cleft-right backward_word
work for a CTRL+Left/Right setup.
Any Ideas?

Which gun is better? they're both 17/17
neither of them are 17/17.
GAUSS GAUSS GAUSS GAUSS GAUSS GAUSS GAUSSITY GAUSS :) Sorry. :)
well ill say gauss
but if u have 17/17 def and hp and 17 luck ill go with barrett
Barrett wins against Gauss everytime. 8)
i whooped this kid with barret wih my gauss :)
Barrett anyday, i even sold my gauss as it got in the way.

how does that proof that the barret is better than the gauss?
i killed people with uzi's and colts with my glock → glock is superior ?
i killed people with m16 and augs with my mp5 → mp5 is superior ?
those kind of arguments remind me of people who post this kind of things:
I'd go with Gauss, most people who have arts go straight for barret. Gauss is more likely to be an approved weapon in a tourney.
Well barrett sux so get gauss 8)
Would you have a gauss when you are 17/17 vs guys with pg, barrett and m2? Or would you get a barrett and kill them.
Well, it all depends on your point of view. I currently don't have Barrett so I can't give an opinion, however, I do have gauss. So for those snipers out there, that's probably Barrett for you. For those all rounders, that's probably gauss for you. That's what I think, maybe you could prove me wrong.

- An ISBN is the 10 or 13 digit number, usually printed on the back of a book with a bar code, that serves as a unique identifier for the book.
- Searching by ISBN is the best way to search because it will get you the exact title and edition that you need.
- Many professors include the ISBN on their syllabi or in their course management system.
If you don't have the ISBN, try a title or author search.
Title search
- Enter all words in the title you are looking for. The search engine will try to find books that have all the words you entered in the title. Leave out words such as "a," "an," or "the."
- When including edition, use numeric values. For example, "1st edition" instead of "first edition."
Author search
- Enter all or part of the author name you are looking for.
- You do not need to enter a first name, but if there are a lot of books by authors with the same last name, it may help to narrow the results.
- You can enter the name in any order such as "John Smith" or "Smith John." Avoid using a comma since it has a special meaning in the search.
Keyword search
- You can search by keyword but this approach is not recommended as it will likely return a large set of results.
- If you want to search by keyword, try a combination of author and keyword. For example, "Warren Accounting" where "Warren" is the author and "Accounting" is the keyword.
To refine your results, use the filtering/sorting options
- Filter options include product type and discipline area. Sort options include alphabetical sort (ascending or descending) and copyright year (ascending or descending).

Driven by the Standards for Technological Literacy, this National Science Foundation-sponsored book is written by national leaders in engineering and technology education and addresses the most contemporary technological content using engaging, pedagogically sound "informed design" activities. This unique approach encourages students to develop a thorough understanding of engineering and technology before they ever attempt to develop detailed design solutions. The activities present students with a design problem, and prompt students to begin the solution-finding process with research, inquiry, and analysis. Only after this important step can students begin to discuss specifications and constraints, propose alternatives, and select an optimal design. This process fosters a strong student-teacher discourse and cultivates language proficiency, both with the end result of enhancing student's overall knowledge. Testing, evaluation, and modifications are addressed next, followed by a communication of achievements in a class presentation and final design report. Woven throughout the text are passages that will acquaint students with the requirements, responsibilities, necessary personal attributes and attitudes, and educational pathways that will lead to success in the various technological areas.

FARMINGDALE, N.Y. (October 6, 2012)--A child welfare investigation led to the startling discovery of a toddler's corpse on Long Island.
State police said Saturday they unearthed the boy's remains from the backyard of a home in Farmingdale, after the boy's mother told them he died two years ago, under circumstances that remain unclear.
Authorities say the family never reported the child's death.
Suffolk County officials initially went to the home Wednesday to check on the health of one of the woman's three children, but they grew concerned when the family couldn't account for the whereabouts of another child, born in 2009.
Investigators are still trying to determine how the child died, and why the family kept it a secret.

The Baltimore Sun
Rose Henry of Columbia, Md., writes: "I hope you can help me find a lost recipe for Spanish rice. It was in Woman's World magazine, possibly about 1997 or '98. The magazine couldn't help and copies were not in the library, so you are my last resort."
Mary Peterson of Ellicott City, Md., responded. "I hope my Spanish rice recipe will solve Rose Henry's request. I've no idea how old this recipe is, nor where I got it, but I know it is good -- especially to make stuffed green peppers. Just fill them with Spanish rice, top with a slice of cheese and bake. I can still do this -- for me a one-dish meal -- at age 80-plus!"
Spanish Rice
1/4 cup olive oil
1 cup long-grain or converted rice
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup chopped green pepper
1/8 tsp. garlic powder (or 1 clove, crushed)
1 can (1 pound) tomatoes, not drained
1/2 cup stuffed olives, chopped
1/2 cup water
1/8 tsp. cayenne pepper
Heat oil in a 10-inch skillet. Add rice, onions, green pepper and garlic powder and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until rice is lightly browned, about 10 minutes.
Add tomatoes, breaking them up with a wooden spoon. Stir in olives, water and cayenne. Heat to boiling, cover and simmer over low heat, about 25 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat, uncover and fluff.
Tester Laura Reiley's comments: "Delicious and easy -- the whole family will love this as a side dish or, as Mary Peterson suggests, as a stuffing for a one-dish meal of stuffed peppers. Simple to make, it holds up well in the refrigerator for leftovers. If you want to jazz it up a little, add a sprinkling of cilantro or even a grating of cheddar cheese." Serves 4.
Recipe requests:
P.J. Peters of Salem, Ore., writes: "The Guest House at Salem, Ore., serves a sauerkraut soup that is really good. We've only had it twice because no one knows when it will be made. Can you help find the recipe?"
Dorothy Donaldson of Rohnert Park, Calif., is seeking a recipe for sesame chicken "like the one served at the New Chinese Buffet in Grand Rapids, Minn. We just love it when on our annual vacation there."

Dilute Solutions of in at Low Temperatures36(1968); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.1974483View Description Hide Description
Properties of dilute solutions of in at low temperatures and their application to dilution refrigeration are discussed from a review—tutorial point of view. A comprehensive review of the properties of dilute solutions is not given. Rather, the simple physical notions underlying an understanding of their properties are discussed. Special emphasis is placed on those phenomena which are of importance in understanding the dilution refrigerator. After a review of the phase-separation phenomenon in solutions, the experimental and theoretical basis for the effective interaction between quasiparticles is discussed. Then the energy of the quasiparticles, their chemical potential, and their dependence on the local density and velocity of the superfluid are treated. A few brief remarks on a possible superfluid transition are made. A discussion is given of the qualitative aspects of different types of dilution refrigerators: the "evaporation"-like continuous and single-cycle refrigerators and the "adiabatic expansion"-like superleak operated dilution refrigerator. Then a thermodynamic treatment of these refrigerators is given. Finally some numerical and graphical information, based on the actual properties of and dilute solutions, is given to illustrate the possibilities and problems of the methods.
Nature of Quantum States36(1968); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.1974484View Description Hide Description
This paper carefully explores the relations among the statistical ensembles, systems, and states (pure and mixed) of quantum theory. By systematically contrasting the classical and quantal realizations of a general paradigm for a probabilistic physics, important distinctions are exposed both in statics and dynamics. Included are observations concerning the intrinsic ambiguity of the quantum-state concept and the peculiarly quantum property of dynamic indivisibility. It is concluded that the conceptual gulf between classical states and quantum "states" is wider than commonly assumed.
Coordinate Transformations of W. Voigt and the Principle of Special Relativity36(1968); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.1974485View Description Hide Description
The relationship existing between the Voigt transformation and the Lorentz transformation is discussed. Some properties of the Voigt transformation are considered, especially its conformal nature. The mechanical meaning of the Voigt transformation is treated, i.e., the moving oblate spheroid, and a moving clock. The addition of velocities theorem developed by application of the special Voigt transformation and the addition of velocities theorem developed by application of the Lorentz transformation are shown to be identical. Finally, the mechanical necessity that the special Voigt coordinate transformations be altered in order to construct the Lorentz electron model, and the electrodynamic consequences of the Voigt kinematics are discussed.
Canonical Transformations without Hamilton's Principle36(1968); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.1974486View Description Hide Description
A simple and direct derivation of the properties of canonical transformations is given, starting from their fundamental property of leaving Hamilton's equations unaltered. No appeal is made to the calculus of variations, and none but the most elementary calculus is used.
High-Vacuum System for Teaching and Research36(1968); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.1974487View Description Hide Description
A simple, compact, and inexpensive high-vacuum system is described. It consists of a detachable vacuum chamber connected through a specially machined aluminum block to a conventional mechanical pump. The block contains all of the vacuum valves and ducts required for initial evacuation of the system, its maintenance at low pressures, and admission of sample gases. Residual vapors are pumped by zeolite-coated copper surfaces, which are housed in a detachable container connected to the block. The vacuum chamber can be pumped from atmospheric pressure down to pressures suitable for electron-beam experiments in approximately 90 sec. Ultimate pressures of can be achieved without cooling the zeolite.Pressures below are possible if the zeolite is cooled by liquid nitrogen. Applications of the system in lecture demonstrations, undergraduate projects, and graduate-level research are discussed.
Simple Derivations of the Schwarzschild Metric36(1968); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.1974488View Description Hide Description
Two derivations, one of the Schwarzschild line element, the other of the gravitational bending of light, both using only special relativity, the equivalence principle, and the Newtonian law of gravity, are examined in detail and shown to be incorrect. In both derivations equations of the correct form were derived, but the physical meanings of the symbols are not what they purport to be. The postulates, in addition to the above three that are necessary to derive the bending of light, are discussed briefly.
Fields Due to a Slow Charged Particle Moving Parallel to a Plane-Metal Surface36(1968); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.1974489View Description Hide Description
A solution is found for the fields due to a charged particle moving parallel to a plane-metal surface in the limit of low velocity. It is found that the current distribution in the metal is mathematically simple; the current density has a dipole pattern of flow. The solution offers interesting examples of charge conservation and the use of the uniqueness theorem in solving potential problems.
Shell Model of Nuclear Structure36(1968); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.1974490View Description Hide Description
The shell model of the nucleus is reviewed as a pure "single-particle" model emphasizing recent spectroscopic evidence. Qualitative evidence for "magic numbers" is reconsidered in the light of current data. A partial listing is given for nuclei where spectroscopic evidence points towards shell model structures.
General Relations for C and G Parities of Particle-Antiparticle Systems with Arbitrary Spin and Isospin36(1968); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.1974491View Description Hide Description
We derive the eigenvalues of the charge conjugation and of the transformation for particle-antiparticle systems of arbitrary spin and isospin. The eigenvalues are given by the formulas and where is the angular momentum, the spin, and the isospin of the particle-antiparticle system.
A Laboratory Course for Nonscience Majors36(1968); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.1974492View Description Hide Description
A laboratory course designed to meet the special needs of the nonscience major is described. Based on the approach of the scientist to a research problem, this sequence offers some very definite advantages to the instructor as well as to the student.
Derivation of the Nonadditive Triple-Dipole Dispersion Energy Using Elementary Electrostatics36(1968); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.1974493View Description Hide Description
The classical explanation of the two-body dispersion energy is extended to the three-body problem. The well-established formula for the three-body dipole-dipole interaction energy is deduced from elementary electrostatic considerations without the use of wave mechanics.

Graphical methods can be utilized to analyze relativistic free-particle interactions by representing the momentum of a free particle as a vector in two-dimensional momentum space. This vector is constrained to lie on the mass hyperbola for all inertial frames of reference. By employing the Lorentz invariance of the difference in the hyperbolic angles for any two vectors, one can analyze graphically free-particle interactions in the most convenient frame of reference. In particular two-particle interactions are studied in the laboratory and center of mass frames of reference.
