In a project I'm working on I need to obtain a Gaussian fit from a set of points - needing mean and variance for some processing, and possibly an error degree (or accuracy level) to let me figure out if the set of points really have a normal distribution.
I've found this question
but it is limited to 3 points only - whereas I need a fit that can work with any number of points.
What I need is similar to the labview Gaussian Peak Fit
I have looked at mathdotnet and aforge.net (using both in the same project), but I haven't found anything.
Does anybody know any C# or (easily convertible) C/C++ or Java solutions?
Alternatively, I've been told that an iterative algorithm should be used - I could implement it by myself (if not too much math-complicated). Any idea about what I can use? I've read a lot of articles (on Wikipedia and others found via Google) but I haven't found any clear indication of a solution.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
When I went to this school 8 years ago I loved this school they had the best teachers that I ever had and awesome food!! My favorite teacher at that school and still is is mrs. Rux she was the best teacher that I ever had and hope that other kids would love her to!!!
The teachers and principal are great and my son loves it!
Principal and staff are rude and uninterested in parent concerns. Classes have no curriculum for students who are advanced versus those who are behind. Therefore, the ones who are ahead are ignored and do not learn anything new.
small town atmosphere which is okay if you have lived in or near Wind Lake forever but as a new resident of the area I found the staff and fellow parents tobe cold and indifferent to any of my concerns. The principle is very good at portraying concern when asked in front of other parents but is completely patronizing when spoken to one on one. Clicky and small town school
My children went to this school for 2 years and this is one of the best schools we have dealt with. The teachers are great the principal is understanding and works with the children as well as the staff. The education they recieved here was great.
I am most pleased with the teachers, staff and environment Lakeview has provided. My children look forward to going to school.

Early Childhood Special Education Program Awarded $1.25 million U.S. Department of Education Grant
Adam Kennedy and Kimberly Thier, faculty in The School of Education, were awarded a $1.25 million grant to improve the training of early childhood educators to provide services for young children with special needs and their families. The goal of this grant is to prepare early childhood teachers who possess all of the state credentials needed to work with diverse children from birth through age 8. Over five years, the grant will support collaboration between the SOE and Chicago-area programs that serve young children. It will also provide scholarships for Loyola's Early Childhood Special Education majors. The blended ECSE program at Loyola focuses on the knowledge, skills, and credentials needed to work collaboratively as a general or special education teacher of culturally and linguistically diverse children, those with special needs, and typically developing children from birth through age eight. Candidates will also earn an initial Illinois Department of Human Services credential to work as a developmental therapist in early intervention with infants and toddlers with special needs and their families.

5 Concerning Teen Trends
We talk about children and teens all the time, but what about that group of kids sandwiched in between those age groups? That is the group formerly referred to as pre-teens and currently referred to as tweens. Kids in this age group (11-13) are sort of like middle children -- confused about exactly where they fit in. Usually they reach upwards and try to imitate their older siblings or older role models. Let me tell you what this often leads to. It leads to some concerning tween trends. In their frantic pursuit to emulate teens they engage in some of the following behaviors:

Oh no, just when I thought that I had heard and seen it all I am made painfully aware that I haven't.

Apparently her four other daughter have conceded but 14 year old Britney is not in favor and the mother is bewildered. The youngest daughter of the clan would like to focus on her studies at this point rather than on her cleavage. This youngest daughter of the family may be breaking with family tradition and yes it may cause a rift.

Dear Dr. G. I just read your post from June 14 ("My Daughter's Boyfriend Seems Obsessive") and the original inquiry, as well as your response, concerned me greatly.

The details of my past and present relationships with females struck me as being scarily similar to those described in that inquiry.

A growler filled at the brewpub while en route to Cooperstown on 1-Aug-08.
A: The is a dark cola brown, a glass of coke without the vigorous soda carbonation. There never was much head and a miniscule band around the mouth is all that remains.
S: The aroma is thick and malty, a meal in a glass. Thick nuttiness and intense caramel mix with a savory smoke scent and the lightest touch of buttery oak.
T: The taste is full of the same notes as the nose but the flavors are not as intense. Dark malts that could almost pass for an American stout greet you witha roasted flavor that doesn't lose the caramel. Smoke is faint but does reveal itself several times through a sip. Also floating just below the surface is a soft buttery oak element. Both smoke and oak are much more noticeable in the finish. The more this ale sits on my palate, the more it reminds me of a wee heavy.
M: Thick and filling, this ale throws lots of big flavors at you. The light smoke and fleeting oak only add to the happening.
D: Am I the only fan of this beer? I can't believe that it continues to fall under the radar. This small brewpub just outside of Williamsport has created a winner.

YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio - A Boardman investment broker has been slapped with a ten count indictment that includes charges of grand theft and forgery.
The Mahoning County Grand Jury handed up the indictment against 53-year-old David Perham of Westfield Drive.
Perham allegedly bilked five people out of more than $55,000 by forging checks from the alleged victim's checking accounts.
Perham first became known to police in January after detectives in Austintown received a complaint that Perham deposited a $12,831 check into his personal bank account instead of investing it for a client.
Detective Sgt. Jordan Yacovone says the money was given to Perham by his client with the intent that it would be invested on behalf of the client. "She kept asking for statements but never received any statements. When she looked into it with the company that it was supposed to be invested in she realized there was never any money invested in her name" said Yacovone.
In December, Perham signed a letter from the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority's (FINRA) Department of Enforcement, in which he agreed to a six month suspension and $10,000 fine for failing to respond to FINRA's request for information on an alleged violation of rules.
FINRA is an independent, not-for-profit organization authorized by Congress to protect investors.
The letter says Perham had not been registered with any FINRA member firm since March of 2012. Perham's alleged crimes took place in 2013.
Two of the checks allegedly forged by Perham last year, were made out to Berthel Fisher Company.
A FINRA report on Pehram says his association with Berthel Fisher ended in 2012.


text: This book is in full colour; The Somerset & Dorset is one of those railways which has a following far beyond its immediate area of operation and the interest keeps going although it is now 35 years since the passenger service from Bath to Bournemouth via Templecombe ceased. British Railways were determined to close the route as evidenced by the diversion of its most famous train the 'Pines Express' in 1962. But it took until March 1966 for the passenger service to cease completely and steam remained in charge until the end. The outstanding scenery, the busy and heavy through holiday trains from the Midlands and north of England, plus the old Midland motive power used into the 1960s, all made the route a magnet for photographers. The Fowler 2-8-0s built specially for the line by the Midland Railway added to the attractions and soldiered on until 1964. They are well represented in this book on both passenger and freight workings. The whole line is covered, including branches and connections, and the pictures show the changing variety of motive power up until the line's final demise. A goodly number of outstanding photographers have contributed to the book and many pictures are published for the first time, including some showing rarely seen workings. 85 full colour photos.

Psalm 72
O God, give your judgment to the king,to a king's son your justice,that he may judge your peoplein justice and your poor in right judgment.
May the mountains bring forth peace for the peopleand the hills, justice.May he defend the poor of the peopleand save the children of the needyand crush the oppressor.
He shall endure like the sun and the moonfrom age to age.He shall descend like rain on the meadow,like raindrops on the earth.
In his days justice shall flourishand peace till the moon fails.He shall rule from sea to sea,from the Great River to earth's bounds.
Before him his enemies shall fall,his foes lick the dust.The kings of Tarshish and the sea coastsshall pay him tribute.
The kings of Sheba and Sebashall bring him gifts.Before him all kings shall fall prostrate,all nations shall serve him.

The Paradox of Freedom and the Self
What does it take to become human? Most philosophers describe it as a feeling of freedom, the ability to do whatever you want. Being rich also shares the same philosophy; it is about earning your dues with the best of your abilities while having the time to use that money or ability to the time you allot to it. Time is worth more than gold because nothing could produce time except what is already set in stone.
If humans want to be truly free, they must also break the boundaries of time, in theory. But then, one cannot call one's self free if something in their environment restricts their growth. Humans have limitations, which they can surpass as they recognise it and need to improve their performance.
The paradox of freedom is that humanity is still chained to his or her problem of existence. Existing in a world where living is a part of life, when comfort is achieved, a person loses his or her vision of priorities. When a human stops functioning for his or own purpose, he or she loses the ability to find him or herself, which in turn, decimates their reason to exist.
The cage of human existence is one that needs to be acknowledged. You may be free, but you are still not free from yourself. Once you fulfil your objective, it should not be the end. Until the end of your life by natural causes, functioning is one of the main factors of becoming a human being.
The World Works in a System of First-Come, First-Served
Throughout history, the stories from the bible and history books only showed one perspective; that of objective research, but from artefacts created only by those who documented the events on the side of the winners. Some of these accounts could be directly influenced by the winners themselves, and throughout history, human conflict had been present.
It is not so difficult to explain the daily stresses in the life of a normal human being who works in an 8-hour office. Sometimes, the stresses extend to more than the hours they render, and laws cannot completely restrict the working hours due to the economic situation of the world. In more recent history, industry leaders have innovated ways that could help make parts of people's daily lives uniform, and this has granted them power.
Everyone in the world dreams of a life of luxury, free from stresses, and enjoying the similar lives of people who fought their way from rags-to-riches. But then again, they became rags-to-riches because they were the first to become winners in their own professional aspects. Everybody is trying to innovate and find the next best thing so they can be the first in history to become winners in that niche, and become a name in history.
Becoming a name in history also helps suffer the existential dread of humanity, and it also provides for the survival side of being human. Stress' history begun from the inhuman treatment of slaves, and today, those who could open invisible doors and make them materialise are the people who could escape the eternal stress of routine work and the burden of dreams.
When is Enough Truly Enough?
In a previous post, it was mentioned that to truly love someone, it is to accept his or her faults and shortcomings. Acceptance is the key to a true bond between two people. However, sometimes, the faults and shortcomings can reduce or destroy the capability of another person to become who they truly should be. Is this the time when enough is truly enough?
If a spouse's shortcoming is verbal and physical abuse, and yet the counterpart just accepts the fact that this is their flaw and still continues to love them, will one judge them as wise or a fool? This clearly reduces or destroys the capability of the person not just to behim or herself, but to remain to look at themselves the same way.
Love is a powerful emotion, but if left unchecked, it could cause dire consequences that could change the life of another person in a positive or negative way. Some of these changes can remain permanent, such as physical or emotional scars from abusive partners. But the fact remains that all parties involved in the relationship have a say to have things remain as they are, or end them for the benefit of each other.
When you look at it, true love is a person being concerned with the growth of the other person, and they would be willing to give up everything, including their own love for the person, just to see them happy.
The Importance of Rest, and Silence
In the ever-busy and changing world, whether you are in the corporate, freelance or self-employed category, finding time to rest is a luxury, despite being a need. Most people in the fast-paced and competitive business world work more hours than they should in their jobs to help the company thrive. However, the focus on monotonous tasks may leave one to forget some responsibilities they have with themselves.
Rest is a responsibility to one's self. When you rest, you slip away from the world momentarily, and you live out your subconscious in dreams, whether you dream or not during your sleep. It is a way of saying that you could take a break from reality, and reality is ever-so-definite that it is overwhelming in the same manner.
If you do not take a break from reality, you forget about your subconscious, and with its need unsatisfied, you will begin to question your reality, and your way of thought also becomes obscured because you are tied to your responsibilities for your survival, but not for the things you live for.
You may also be living the opposite life. You have too much free time on your part, but you only use your time unproductively. You may have a stable income with enough time to spend for yourself, but indulging yourself in luxury all the time will leave you no time to discuss with your subconscious.
This is where the importance of rest and silence is very important. When you rest, your mind relaxes. Silence allows you to hear your subconscious and review your life and your experiences during the day and the last few years. You escape reality for a while and feel your soul and your significance in the greater body of the universe.
PPI Claims Have Yet to Peak According to FSCS
Financial Services Compensation Scheme Chief Executive Mark Neale said that the UK will need a few more years until it sees the last few breaths of mis sold PPI. They project an increase of 2,000 PPI complaints coming into the FSCS this 2014 and that the end of the flurry of complaints is yet to come.
The Financial Ombudsman Service said that the number of payment protection insurance complaints had fallen from over 216,000 the first half of 2013, into 190,000 the second half. However, according to Chief Ombudsman Tony Boorman, the numbers are still high. He said that the UK is also still a ways to go until PPI is finally sorted out.
The FOS still handles 1,000 PPI complaints on a daily basis with 8 out of 10 complaints from different banks in favour of consumers.
UK's financial sector had set aside a current total of £25 billion for PPI recompense. UK's big banks account for more than 70% of PPI complaints in the last half of 2013.
PPI is an insurance product designed to repay loans, mortgages and credit cards in case consumers get sick, have an accident or become unemployed. Many consumers were sold the insurance when they did not need it.
The Ability to Control your Urge to Control
People often find a person rude when he or she takes so much food from a buffet and then leaves it half-full or barely touched. One might say it is a waste of blessings. But in analogy, it is one's responsibility to finish the plate of food they get, despite the amount, because everything can go to waste.
Irresponsible people waste many things, especially some other person's time. However, there are people who just want to get the entire buffet for themselves because they have the ability to eat everything on their plate. Most humans are like this; we have this unlimited urge to control other people.
Control is important to retain one's sense of individuality. If humans have control over the events surrounding them, they grant themselves the ability to live. The more they control, the more they recognize that they are living and thriving.
However, many people want to live their life their own way. Sometimes, this plan involves controlling people consciously or unconsciously to move exactly as they please to obtain their desired results. This urge to control gives them satisfaction.
In the world, this invisible war of control stretches from politics, with politicians, lobbyists and corporations, and to a molecular level where the strong live and the weak fall in the bacterial kingdom. Control, and self-fulfillment, is both a curse and grace of both an intelligent man and a primal creature.
But we humans have the ability to control our urge to control. This is what sets them different from the rest of the living organisms in the world.
The Idea of True Love: Acceptance
In a practical world, you want to ensure that you have all your risks checked and assessed properly. Practicality ensures that you get maximum profit and use for everything you own and invest. This is why everyone has ideals and expectations about everything including the function of people important to them and they love.
However, this is the reason why many people are alone. Overanalyzing other people to avoid the pain that comes with relationships makes relationships superficial and something of an obligation rather than something genuine. People know their own shortcomings and they try to hide it for the sake of having someone accept them for who they are. They also analyse people to see if they will fit with them naturally.
The sad part is that none of them accepts the other for who the other person is. The positive experiences are the ones that last forever with them. Without acceptance, there is no true love between two people. It only fulfils the need to ensure that one doesn't feel alone in the world.
When you learn to accept that love is about accepting the other for who they are and not just because of the good sides they show each other, then that is true love that can last a lifetime.
A true test of love is when two people fight each other, yet they still care for each other despite all that has happened.
Signs That Your Life Needs Struggle
I'm writing anonymously on a blog because I want to share something that only high-profile people know. I'm a businessman; I've built myself up from scratch since 1985. During that time, I was 20-years old. I designed a ground-breaking computer program that aided many local companies the power to defend their computers against viruses. This was replaced in the future by better anti-virus and anti-rootkit software.
I was earning in the big money during such a time. Until now, patents for my work earn me royalties as future companies build and improve their own work on my earlier works.
I was finally enjoying life around the year 2000. I've bought a great house. I have my private pool. I could throw as many parties as I wanted with the money I have. But then, I wasn't happy with the millions I earned in the bank. My family is happy right now, all my children have gone to college and one already has a family and she is excelling in her own business.
In short, I was bored. I lost my way after my objective was completed.
When we complete objectives, we lose track of ourselves. We may be proud of our work, but we're left to question whether we can still top the work we've done. We can always question if we can improve ourselves.
When one is left by the feeling of achievement, it is when they question their own integrity in their own craft. This is a struggle in itself.
When my life became comfortable, I knew I needed some sort of struggle. So, once again, I tried doing something hard. This time, I tried to learn something I completely dreaded in the past; writing.
After reading this post, I guess you won't find any struggle of mine to find the right words to fit my statement. I guess I'm improving, but it this is still a struggle, a struggle that helps me feel I'm alive.
Learning From Your Mistakes
One famous quote reads that people would be very wise if they only admitted their mistakes earlier. Making mistakes are innate with humans. Being imperfect beings, the brain and emotions equate the balance inside humans. Humans learn through mistakes, regardless how big and small.
This new year is an opportunity for people who had made mistakes to learn and be better people. Surely, many people had made their own resolutions that would change their life and their interaction with other people. The celebration of the new year is to release the negativity that was born from the year past and make things turn well.
It is not restricting to impose an ideal resolution upon yourself, but you can only achieve your resolution if you accept that you can fail in doing your objectives at any time. People who know they can fail and accept it often try the hardest simply because they recognize they have nothing to lose in trying.
You can always try, but you must also know that you can fail. But if you do not try and make a mistake, there is no chance that you could learn what you need to learn.
There is no shame in making mistakes, but there is shame in regretting. Learn from your mistakes, that is one resolution that is easily achievable for anybody this 2014.
Opening Up to Other People: The Importance of Attachment
Detachment is an important part especially in the professional world; your actions should never be attached with emotions and instead dealing with practicality and the better good is important. However, when you bring this to your own social life, with friends and family, this could cause coldness and distance between you and them.
Human attachment is born from accepting the problems of another person, a group of friends or your family members. You vow to carry with them these problems as they would carry yours, which develops trust.
While most people are encouraged to be independent to perform well with their own professional tasks, dependence and opening up to other people is another thing. Dependence means you would need them to carry your load. When you open up, you could carry your own load, but you could also depend on them to help you sort things out.
Some people find depositing one's load to other people, even to their closest friends, as a sign of weakness. While it could possibly be, especially for people with high principles, depending on other people is a sign that you are still human; that you are capable of error and only by working together with people you trust could you find a proper solution.
Opening up to other people is like seeing your doctor. You are not sick, but you are not feeling human at all. It is never a healthy thing to deny your humanity and dedicate yourself entirely to your passion and ambition. Every human needs interaction, trust and acceptance.

Though there were no reports of road rage violence, drivers complained about price-gouging by villagers who were their only source of food and water. A bottle of water that normally costs 1 yuan (15 cents) was selling for 10 yuan ($1.50), while the price of a 3 yuan- (45 cent-) cup of instant noodles had more than tripled, media reports said.So basically thanks to the flaws of Communist government these poor folks now get to learn about the flaws of glorious capitalism.
Guo Jifu, head of the Beijing Transportation Research Center, said the number of vehicles on the road increased by 1,900 per day on average in the first half year. If the growth rate continued, the total number of vehicles would hit 7 million by 2015.Solutions include odd-even license plate number traffic controls, staggered work hours, and a significant ramping up of public transit projects.
Shanghai caps the number of new private car registrations annually, auctions auto registrations, limits parking, and makes it difficult to obtain a driver's license. The city is considering a plan to charge cars for entering the central business district, as now exists in London. Shanghai's more restrictive policies have led to a slower rate of car growth. With about the same population and wealth as Beijing, Shanghai residents own only one car for every six in Beijing.Not sure if congestion charging, mass transit investment and high auto taxes could've solved this particular mess, but it seems worth noting that even within China itself there are administrators taking more reasonable approaches to rapid urbanization.

There is not one drop of oil coming out of the Swiss mountains, but still Royal Dutch Shell has eight subsidiaries in Switzerland. Between 2001 and 2005 the Dutch-British oil multinational set up a range of subsidiaries in the country, although these entities are not involved in any productive activities, finds a new report released today. The Centre for Research on Multinational Companies (SOMO) and Friends of the Earth Europe report concludes that Shell uses Switzerland mainly for 'tax planning purposes'.
New figures released today by the US Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) show that if Europe does not act, its imports of tar sands, one of the dirtiest fossil fuels, would likely skyrocket from about 4,000 barrels per day (bpd) in 2012 to over 700,000 bpd in 2020 [1]. The resulting emissions increase in transport would be the equivalent of adding six million cars to Europe's roads.
EU plans to tackle climate change by the year 2030, announced in Brussels today, have been heavily criticized by environment group Friends of the Earth Europe.
The policies proposed by the European Commission disregard climate science which makes it clear the need to drastically cut emissions to avoid catastrophic levels of global warming is getting more urgent all the time.
Brussels/The Hague, January 30, 2013 - A Dutch court has ruled today that Shell is responsible for not preventing the pollution of farmlands at Ikot Ada Udo, Akwa Ibom State in Nigeria. The case brought by Friends of the Earth Netherlands and four Nigerian farmers is an important victory for Nigerian people and the environment.
This is the first time that Shell has been ordered by a court to pay compensation for damage caused by its operations. The Nigerian justice system has never been able to accomplish this.
Ahead of discussions this week about how the next one trillion euros EU budget will be spent, EU ministers are being urged to get rid of provisions that would allow public money to subsidise the fossil fuels industry.
The open letter [1] endorsed by more than 20 leading environment groups comes in response to the draft negotiating text for Tuesday's General Affairs Council. At this meeting EU Members States will make decisions on the investment priorities under the next 2014-2020 Cohesion Policy funds [2], building on a proposal prepared by the European Commission last year [3].
A coalition of environmental and health NGOs warned the European Parliament today that hydraulic fracturing ('fracking') of shale gas, shale oil, and coal bed methane represent an dangerous experiment on the environment and human health.
Brussels/Paris/Amsterdam, February 23, 2012 – Representatives from European governments met today to vote on plans to keep tar sands out of Europe, but intense lobby pressure from Canada and the oil industry has brought about a stalemate, according to Friends of the Earth Europe. [1]
Abstentions and rejections from a number of European governments means the final decision will be taken by the Environment Council in June.
Brussels/Paris/Amsterdam, February 22, 2012 – European governments must say no to the dirtiest forms of unconventional oil tomorrow, and defy pressure from both the Canadian and big oil lobbies, according to Friends of the Earth Europe. Representatives from European governments will decide tomorrow on plans to keep tar sands out of Europe.
Brussels, Tuesday October 4 – Friends of the Earth Europe has welcomed a decision by the European Commission to take steps to prevent oil from tar sands entering the European market.
The European Commission has announced it will assign higher carbon emission values to oil from tar sands than to other sources of fossil fuels in the Fuel Quality Directive - the EU initiative aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuels. [1]
Brussels, 5 August 2011 - The government of Canada is engaging in an unprecedented lobby effort to open up the European market to oil from its devastating tar sands, an investigation by Friends of the Earth Europe reveals. [1]
A detailed 'diary' compiled by Friends of the Earth shows the extent of Canadian efforts to block EU plans to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuels.

Bill Medley is blessed with a deep soulful voice that's been pleasing crowds since the early 1960s when he made up half of the songwriting duo the Righteous Brothers. His preeminent band had hits with songs like the Phil Spector produced "You've Lost That Loving Feeling" (1964) and "Little Latin Lupe Lu" (1963). Medley first began releasing solo records in 1968 when the Righteous Brothers broke up, but he didn't have a number one hit until 1987 when he recorded the platinum selling duet "(I've Had) The Time of My Life" that was featured as the closing song in the hugely successful film Dirty Dancing. Because of the success of that song, doors opened for Medley to sing on tracks for other memorable films like Major League and Rambo III. Instead of recording new songs, Medley, who is now in his 70s, has a performing residency at The Starlite Theater in Branson, Missouri.View More >

Steven Wright is an American actor, writer and stand-up comedian known for his dry, monotone voice. As a comedian, Wright has developed a devoted following thanks to his unique brand of observational humor that is heavy on comic absurdity and deadpan one-liners. The Massachusetts native released his first comedy album entitled I Have a Pony in 1985, and has since rounded out his resume with a number of headlining specials, tours and bit acting roles. Though the slow, deliberate style that Wright employs might not be up everyone's alley, stand-up fans who appreciate the subtle art of deadpan comedy likely won't be able to find anyone better.View More >

"The surprises keep popping up from one side to the other. We do not know what is their business. So what am I going to value?"
The combination of long term growth opportunity and valuations that this space offers, is better than any other space, says Prateek Agarwal.
We are positive on a few companies which make huge number of equipment and as overall economic activity revives and industrialisation moves up.
"For FMCG, the stickiness is highest, if management quality is good and there is large dip it could be a good buying opportunity for long term."
"OMCs have a story in terms of valuations. My sense is valuations are actually higher than where they could sustain," says Prateek Agarwal.
"If one is looking at long period of growth, then the valuations are sustainable with macro side news improving month on month."
"Markets may take a short term correction because of the buoyancy that we may have seen over the past few weeks but longer term."
Sectors like capital goods and public sector banks are trading at valuations which will probably make them move sideways going ahead.

Giant oilfields and civil conflict
AbstractWe use new data to examine the effects of giant oilfield discoveries around the world since 1946. On average, these discoveries increase per capita oil production and oil exports by up to 50 percent. But these giant oilfield discoveries also have a dark side: they increase the incidence of internal armed conflict by about 5-8 percentage points. This increased incidence of conflict due to giant oilfield discoveries is especially high for countries that had already experienced armed conflicts or coups in the decade prior to discovery.

Blog discusses the Spurs' change in style this season, and address the good things they are doing both offensively and defensively. Includes interesting stats, such as how the Spurs rank defensively in categories like opponents ast/TO ratio and opponents' FTA/FGA ratio.
Same move to the basket and shooting the three!
This is a good article, and definitely in line with a trend that I've noticed as well. The Spurs' pace has been gradually decreasing, but the efficiency has not. Speaking of which, check out the team stats section while you're at hoopdata and sort by offensive efficiency. Guess who's number 1 after all?
"The Race is a firm believer that the MVP and Coach of the Year awards, with rare exceptions, should go to men on different teams (having the MVP makes a coach's job a little easier, right?). So far, we like Gregg Popovich for COY, so this is more of a "best player on best team" vote. The Spurs really are the MVT."
Ginobili posted pictures of his twins on Twitter. Here is a little report.
This year it's "Dreidel, Dreidel, Dreidel" that gets the treatment from the Rockets. Gotta love that these guys are so willing to laugh at themselves and be laughed it!
Congratulations, we've got 7 of 10 as either current or former Spurs :) I wonder what our top 10 would look like?
Dyess has got to be the happiest man on the planet. I could probably listen to him talk all day. Every interview I've seen with him is like this.
A great graphic by Tom Ziller showing who the elite teams are in the NBA. Our defense could still stand some improvement, but is better than some people think.

Another View -- Rona Zlokower: We need to reach young people before they turn violent
The horrific, life-shattering event at Sandy Hook Elementary School is the latest in a spate of shootings at schools and colleges long after Columbine. Across the country, there is, understandably and appropriately, new emphasis on heightened security. However, the factors that prompted these young perpetrators, making their actions possible, are what call for urgent public and media concern.
Why isn't there more focus on the troubled state of the young perpetrators' minds and how often mental health issues go untreated despite the best efforts of caretakers and professionals? Why aren't we activated by their possession and misuse of handguns and assault weapons? Why aren't we acutely concerned by the commercial use of media - networks, blogs, chat rooms, YouTube, social networking sites - and that some troubled youth have come to recognize their path to fame as the broadcasting and sharing of their horrific acts? Why aren't we outraged by entertainment media where at any time a flip through TV channels or a walk through a video or video game aisle offers us glorified crime and horrific violence as entertainment?
When will we focus on common links between many of the school shootings, especially those carried out by youth and young adults? These young people shared some characteristics: a lack of self-esteem, a history of being victimized by bullies, troubles in school, substance use, a passion for violent media, access to guns, disconnections from family, disappointments in life and, finally, the feeling that the only way to be noticed is through media coverage in all its polished and raw forms.
Many young people experience mental illness, substance use problems, abuse, neglect and other difficult issues beyond the normally difficult challenges of growing up. Many of these individuals are treated and cared for by families and strong community networks.
Yet many others slip through the cracks. And, in combination with access to guns and substances, continued exposure to media violence, and access to media technology that supports aberrant thoughts and behaviors, some young people cry out for notice. In the end, thanks to excessive and often inappropriate media coverage and the fear it propagates, the perpetrators of the school shootings may get what they seek: lots of recognition at the expense of many innocent lives, as well as their own.
Let's not become victims of this violence by living in fear with continuously heightened security measures in our homes, offices, malls, schools and public spaces. Let's be bold and call on our city, county, state and federal officials and candidates for office to focus attention and funding on mental health services, school-based student assistance, substance use prevention and treatment, parenting education, violence prevention, media literacy and gun safety and control.
No citizen, young or old, should be able to harm or take the lives of others and send communities and a nation into spirals of misplaced fear. Violence, especially that perpetrated by youth, is preventable if we join together across all lines to look beyond the question of heightening security and make the prevention of violence - not its broadcasting - our priority.

[size=12pt]Winfield appears doubtful for Sunday[/size]
Well, that sucks.Quote:
Pro Bowl cornerback Antoine Winfield hasn't been ruled out of Sunday's game because of a sprained right foot, but it appears to be an extreme long shot the veteran will be able to play against the Steelers. At least that was the feeling coming out of the Vikings locker room today.
Linebacker Ben Leber, speaking about what Paymah had to do against the Ravens, sounded as if he thinks Winfield won't be on the field this weekend. "It was a tough position to put any corner in last week," Leber said. "Backups get marginal reps during the week and to ask these guys to come in and play at a high level is a tough thing to do. No doubt they have to do it. This is our first real test with [Winfield] not being in the lineup so it still remains to be seen."
But good teams find ways to win despite injuries.
I think this will be a good chance for the Vikings to show everyone that they are a good team.

"Nah," Mills can be heard saying when the lethally rigged extension cord comes his way. "I like to get rid of mine at home."
Though Hammer survived, investigators say Joseph Addison, the man who brought the electrical cord, killed one of his own dogs later that night.
"Addison stated that he did not have 'chain space,' for a dog who lost," reads an indictment filed that summer. "Addison attached an alligator clipped cable to the female dog's lip and rear flank. [The owner of the barn] handed Addison the end of the extension cord. Addison electrocuted the dog."
Occupying two and a half square miles along the northeast border of East St. Louis, Illinois, the village of Washington Park is home to approximately 5,000 residents and no fewer than seven strip clubs. This past April the mayor was robbed and shot to death after stopping on one of the town's two main drags to offer a pedestrian a ride.
It was dark by the time Mills, Heath, their informant and two other dogfighters arrived in Washington Park on the evening of November 15, 2008. The undercover officers steered their SUV to a rundown white clapboard house with a junk-strewn lawn on the outskirts of town. The fighting pit was in the back yard, surrounded by a group of about 40 people. Everyone paid $20 to William Berry, the show's promoter, better known by his street name, Black.
One of the night's main events was a $2,000 showdown between Black's dog and a pit bull owned by a dogfighter from St. Louis who'd been boarding the dog at the Highway Patrol agents' kennel. (Mills will not divulge the man's name because he has yet to be charged.) The man had intended to handle the dog himself, but he was ill and had asked the agents' snitch to stand in for him.
The fight was a grueling one that dragged on for more than two hours. Pit bulls in top condition are relentless, and in the frenzy of battle they're impervious to virtually anything short of heat stroke. Heath and Mills tell of seeing dogs fight through broken legs.
"The only reason a pit bull will quit fighting is because it's hot," Mills says. "It's not because of the pain. It'll fight for you for love and loyalty. It won't quit because it's hurtin'."
In addition to steroids, some owners inject their dogs with epinephrine or, foolishly, methamphetamine and cocaine to increase their fighting drive. The stimulants can kill fighting dogs; they die from kidney or heart failure, or heat exhaustion.
And yet, contrary to popular belief, pit bulls rarely fight to the death. Not only is it unnecessary — the dominant animal usually proves itself before fatal wounds are inflicted — it's imprudent. If a dog is game and descended from a reputable bloodline, its offspring will be valuable commodities. The detectives say this often provided a convenient excuse to end fights before their dogs sustained serious injuries.
"We'd pull the plug at the cost of having to suck our egos and go on," Mills says. "Once that referee says, 'Release your dog,' and they make contact, the case is made. From then on we're looking for an excuse to end this fight. Like anything, we're very competitive guys and we wanna win. But it wasn't about that."
"If our dog was out there getting hurt, we'd pick it up," Heath adds. "We had some story: 'That dog's worth a lot to us for breeding purposes. He's obviously winning the fight, but he's more valuable for me to take him home.'"

For parents, there's always the fear their child could go missing.
In the summer, kids are playing outside more, but research shows kids are at greatest risk of being abducted walking to and from school or school related activities. In Ohio last year, eight AMBER alerts were issued for missing children.
A parent's worst nightmare can happen in minutes; their child disappears at the hands of an abductor. Time is of the essence in the search.
"Unfortunately in most incidents where a child is abducted in the first three hours, the child is usually killed in those three hours," said Detective Pat Mondora, Mahoning County Sheriff's Office.
Amber Hagerman's abduction and killing in Texas 18 years ago, forever changed law enforcement's approach to finding kidnapped kids across the country.
Rob Jackson, a representative of the Ohio AMBER Alert Advisory Committee, explained, "After that, the parents and local media and police department all worked together to develop an AMBER Alert plan."
The program, named in Amber's honor, sends out a call to action to the community to be on the lookout for the child and suspect. The word gets out through multiple platforms, including the Emergency Alert System that interrupts radio and TV broadcasts.
One of the latest ways the alerts are sent to the public is via a message similar to a text. Recently purchased smart phones are automatically enabled to receive this Wireless Emergency Alert.
"They may be the one person that's driving by the suspect during that and can help in the safe recovery of the child," Jackson said.
Police say a common misconception when a child goes missing is that an AMBER Alert should be issued but this is not always the case.
AMBER Alerts are reserved for when a child under 18 has been abducted and is in danger of serious bodily harm or death. It cannot be a family dispute or custody issue, unless the child is in danger of serious bodily harm or death. Enough descriptive information concerning the circumstances, suspect, vehicle, and victim has to be available. In Mahoning County, the investigating police agency also has to recommend the alert.
Maggie McGee, Mahoning County 911 Director said, "These aren't routine. So you have to stay on top of it and do exercises to stay sharp."
The majority of cases in Ohio have involved family members and not strangers.
"They (AMBER Alerts) very much work. We've had four AMBER Alerts (so far) this year. All have been successful and safe recovery of the child," Jackson said.
Police want parents to know that you should not wait 24 hours to report a missing child or person. The sooner police know someone is missing, the quicker they can investigate and take action to track down the child.
If the circumstances surrounding a child's disappearance are unknown, police can issue an Endangered Missing Child Alert. It sends out a message through the same channels except the Emergency Alert System.
