Competitive Balance Measures in Sports Leagues: The Effects of Variation in Season Length
Appropriate measurement of competitive balance is a cornerstone of the economic analysis of professional sports leagues. We examine the distributional properties of the ratio of standard deviations (RSD) of points percentages, the most widely used measure of competitive balance in the sports economics literature, in comparison with other standard-deviation-based measures. Simulation methods are used to evaluate the effects of changes in season length on the distributions of competitive balance measures for different distributions of the strengths of teams in a league. The popular RSD measure performs as expected only in cases of perfect balance; if there is imbalance in team strengths, its distribution is very sensitive to changes in season length. This has important implications for comparisons of competitive balance for different sports leagues with different numbers of teams and/or games played.

38 year old man | Indianapolis, IN, USA | Seeking women 27-38 within 50 miles
Lucky in Life, Not in.....
I love to enjoy life to the fullest. Sounds lame but true in my case. I tend to get bored easily if I stay put too long so jet setting is my thing. My job as a Energy Trader (think ERON) allows me to travel as much as I want within reason. I usually take trips alone which is great but having someone to hold the camera wouldn't be bad either. I am very open to trying anything. Be it food, I am a foodie, or any crazy activity. I think I used up most of my nine lives with some of the things I've done. I like to cook but also try new restaurants when the opportunity come up. Sushi and I go hand and hand. I like all kinds of music and enjoy concerts and festivals. My immediate family consists of my mother and my brother. I do treasure family values and traditions. What I'm doing now. I bought a fixer upper so DIY projects are constant in my life. Though, traveling gets in the way of those projects sometimes. I'm also training for my second mini. This time in San Fran in Nov. I enjoy boating and sad the season is over. I'm basically looking for a open minded cool gal who is as easy going as me and tends not to get upset over the little things. Someone who wants a nice guy and is somewhat serious about starting that second chapter. I work in Indianapolis but also split my time in Chicago when I'm not traveling.

I exercise 1-2 times per week.
I have Dogs
I have a Goldendoodle named Chewy.
Traveling is a must in my book. So if flying is not your forte, umm? I've been to alot of places, but there are still many cities I still haven't seen. I'm waiting to go because those places are better to be experienced with someone special.
I'm also sucker for a girl who knows how to dress.
I love dining out so if I could try every restaurant in the world, I would. Can't put a price on food. I need someone not afraid to indulge themselves once in a while.
Listened to the audio book Da Vinci Code. Current trying to read the Outpost.

Without question—the most informative website available for this purpose. And I researched a lot of them!Read More Comments
So, you are meeting your very pregnant wife and toddler at the local café for lunch. You know, the one with the section where you can plug in your computer and study, work, or have a quick business meeting? Your daughter is already in preschool and your wife is headed there to pick her up after lunch.
Your son has recently been doing funny things and declaring them "FUNNY MOM!" or "FUNNY DAD!!" Mostly, whatever he is doing is hysterical and genuinely funny which is how he robably picked up the phrase. Every time he does something cute you tell him "you're so funny!"
Back to lunch. You arrive at the café to find your wife chasing your shoeless and shirtless toddler in circles around the "study" area of the café. She is sternly telling him "This is NOT funny!" while he keeps declaring "FUNNY MOM!" and running as fast as he can. The busy bees trying to work and study are hiding their chuckles behind their hands and seem quite entertained.
While this story may crack you up and make you laugh out loud...as I was inclined to do, but didn't at the time…this is what led to my wife and I having the "the talk".
What talk is this? The no-more-kids-after-this-baby-we-have-our-hands-full talk. Ohhhh…that talk. Okay, you may see where she's coming from and begin to look into different options for sterilization. Sterilization…that word seems so final! And it is. You will probably discover in your research that tubal ligation for your wife is a lot more expensive and invasive than a vasectomy for you, which is what your wife is pushing for.
You come to the agreement that you are going to have a vasectomy and schedule your procedure. Now, before you do anything else, have you thought about semen storage? Why would you choose semen storage if you have made a decision with your wife not to have any more children? That's a good question. The answer is: What if?
What if we change our minds later and we want more kids?
What if the thought of never being able to make a baby again is too much for you?
What if you're widowed and in the future, your partner wants children?
What if you…dare we say it…get divorced and remarried in the future?
While many of these scenarios are not very pleasant to think about right now, you can at least be prepared in the event something does come up. Vasectomy reversals can be costly and are not always effective. Semen storage will be available long term.
Semen storage is simple and affordable. Typically, you plan to store three samples and collection will be over the course of a week. Once completed and your semen is safely stored away, you can move forward with your vasectomy.
While most storage facilities do not have the capability for long term storage, Xytex Tissue Storage offers long term storage for as long as you need. Take a moment to plan a head one more step because you never know what the future holds!
FREE! iOS app for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod that lets you sign in, search donor profiles, and a lot more.

While the Blu-ray camp celebrates topping the 1-million disc sold mark in Europe and 73 percent share of all HD movies sold on the continent, HD DVD's Black Friday marketing push has put it over 750,000 dedicated players sold in North America. So far this doesn't mark a departure from the norm, while Blu-ray pushes sales via the PS3, HD DVD continues to ride its strategy of lower priced standalone players, we'll have to wait and see which one consumers choose this holiday season.

Petrol tank woes

JC - Sorry to read about the issues you've encountered. Maybe I'm lucky, but I've never had any trouble with the rubber bushing that the tank's front slots slide on and off of (your first picture), and wonder why exactly the dealer applied lock-tite to those threads? Is that supposed to be a recall or something? I've never had any reason to mess with those nuts.
I've just had my '07 GSA's tank off and back on again for some winter maintenance in my workshop and the bushings and the mount bolts (your third picture) on both sides all still worked fine. Cross-threading those bolts is always a distinct possibility, so I always take my time to line up them up before I start wrenching them in. I just slide the tank forward back onto the bushing on each side, then maneuver the tank up/down/forward/aft as necessary to line up the bolt hole on each side and then get both bolts started before tightening either of them.
If you've had trouble getting the hole alignment before due to the washers at the bushing, your grinding on the washers to make more clearance should do the trick.

Several sugar alcohols (polyols) have been promoted as potential sugar substitutes in caries limitation. However, differences in the effects of simple alditol-type sugar alcohol homologues on dental plaque have not been compared in clinical tests. The effects of 6-month use of erythritol (a sugar alcohol of the tetritol type), xylitol (a pentitol) and D-glucitol (sorbitol, a hexitol) were investigated in a cohort of 136 teenage subjects assigned to the respective polyol groups or to an untreated control group (n = 30–36 per group). The daily use of the polyols was 7.0 g in the form of chewable tablets, supplemented by twice-a-day use of a dentifrice containing those polyols. The use of erythritol and xylitol was associated with a statistically significant reduction (p < 0.001 in most cases) in the plaque and saliva levels of mutans streptococci. The amount of dental plaque was also significantly reduced in subjects receiving erythritol and xylitol. Such effects were not observed in other experimental groups. Chemical analyses showed D-glucitol to be a normal finding in dental plaque while xylitol was less consistently detected. Erythritol was detected in measurable amounts only in the plaque of subjects receiving this polyol. Erythritol and xylitol may exert similar effects on some risk factors of dental caries, although the biochemical mechanism of the effects may differ. These in vivo studies were supported by cultivation experiments in which xylitol, and especially erythritol, inhibited the growth of several strains of mutans streptococci.

Technology illuminates colder objects in deep spaceJuly 10, 2014 7:42 am | News | Comments
Too cool and faint, many objects in the universe are impossible to detect with visible light. Now a Northwestern Univ. team has refined a new technology that could make these colder objects more visible, paving the way for enhanced exploration of deep space. The new technology uses a type II superlattice material called indium arsenide/indium arsenide antimonide (InAs/InAsSb).
New evidence for oceans deep in the EarthJune 13, 2014 7:59 am | by Megan Fellman, Northwestern Univ. | News | Comments
Researchers report evidence for an oceans worth of water deep beneath the U.S. Though not in the familiar liquid form—the ingredients for water are bound up in rock deep in the Earth's mantle—the discovery may represent the planet's largest water reservoir. The presence of liquid water on the surface is what makes our "blue planet" habitable, and scientists have tried to figure out just how much water may be cycling between Earth's surface.
Designing ion "highway systems" for batteriesJune 10, 2014 2:19 pm | News | Comments
Since the early 1970s, lithium has been the most popular element for batteries because of it's low weight and good electrochemical potential. But it is also highly flammable. Researchers have recently married two traditional theories in materials science that can explain how the charge dictates the structure of the material. And using this they may be able to move to other materials, such as block copolymers, for use in batteries.
Team demonstrates continuous terahertz sources at room temperatureJune 5, 2014 11:47 am | News | Comments
The potential of terahertz waves has yet to be reached because they are difficult to generate and manipulate. Current sources are large devices that require complex vacuum, lasers and cooling systems. A Northwestern Univ. team is the first to produce terahertz radiation in a simplified system. Their room-temperature, compact, continuous terahertz radiation source is six times more efficient than previous systems.

Molecular traffic jam makes water move faster through nanochannelsFebruary 6, 2014 12:40 pm | News | Comments
Cars inch forward slowly in traffic jams, but molecules, when jammed up, can move extremely fast. New research by Northwestern Univ. researchers finds that water molecules traveling through tiny carbon nanotube pipes do not flow continuously but rather intermittently, like stop-and-go traffic, with unexpected results.
Detecting chemicals, measuring strain with a pencil and paperJanuary 23, 2014 7:40 am | News | Comments
Sometimes solving a problem doesn't require a high-tech solution. Sometimes, you have to look no farther than your desktop. Three students from Northwestern Univ.'s McCormick School of Engineering have proven that pencils and regular office paper can be used to create functional devices that can measure strain and detect hazardous chemical vapors.
Using air transportation data to predict pandemicsDecember 13, 2013 8:53 am | News | Comments
Computational work conducted at Northwestern Univ. has led to a new mathematical theory for understanding the global spread of epidemics. The resulting insights could not only help identify an outbreak's origin but could also significantly improve the ability to forecast the global pathways through which a disease might spread.
Making a gem of a tiny crystalDecember 2, 2013 8:34 am | News | Comments
Nature builds flawless diamonds, sapphires and other gems. Now a Northwestern Univ. research team is the first to build near-perfect single crystals out of nanoparticles and DNA, using the same structure favored by nature. The research group developed the "recipe" for using nanomaterials as atoms, DNA as bonds and a little heat to form tiny crystals. This single-crystal recipe builds on superlattice techniques.
Newly identified protein provides target for antibiotic-resistant hospital bacteriumNovember 27, 2013 8:49 am | News | Comments

Researchers measure flow from a nanoscale fluid jetOctober 28, 2013 2:52 pm | News | Comments
Fluid jets are all around us: from inkjet printing, to the "Old Faithful" geyser in Yellowstone National Park, to cosmological jets several thousand light years long. A team of researchers has recently verified the classical Landau-Squire theory in the tiniest submerged jet. The diameter of their jets were in the range of 20 to 150 nm, which is the length of just a few hundred water molecules lined up in a row.
Atomically thin device promises new class of electronicsOctober 22, 2013 8:05 am | News | Comments
As electronics approach the atomic scale, researchers are increasingly successful at developing atomically thin, virtually 2-D materials that could usher in the next generation of computing. Integrating these materials to create necessary circuits, however, has remained a challenge. Northwestern Univ. researchers have now taken a significant step toward fabricating complex nanoscale electronics.
Researchers develop compact, high-power terahertz source at room temperatureOctober 10, 2013 8:38 am | News | Comments
Terahertz radiation is gaining attention due to its many applications. Traditional methods of generating terahertz radiation, however, usually involve large and expensive instruments, some of which also require cryogenic cooling. A compact terahertz source operating at room temperature with high power has been a dream device in the terahertz community for decades. A team from Northwestern Univ. has now brought this dream closer to reality.
A new paradigm for nanoscale-resolution MRISeptember 30, 2013 8:01 am | News | Comments
A team from the Univ. of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and Northwestern Univ. has devised a novel nuclear magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technique that delivers a roughly 10-nm spatial resolution. This represents a significant advance in MRI sensitivity as modern MRI techniques yield spatial resolutions on the millimeter length scale, with the highest-resolution experimental instruments giving spatial resolution of a few micrometers.
Sticking power of plant polyphenols used in new coatingsAugust 22, 2013 11:37 am | News | Comments
A simple kitchen sink experiment helped Northwestern Univ. researchers discover that green tea leaves not only can be used to steep a good cup of tea, but they make an excellent antibacterial coating, too. And so can red wine, dark chocolate and cacao beans, they found. It's the powerful and healthful polyphenols at work in a new way.
Plastic solar cells' new design promises bright futureAugust 14, 2013 9:53 am | by Megan Fellman, Northwestern Univ. | News | Comments
Polymer, or plastic, solar cells contain Earth-abundant and environmentally benign materials, can be made flexible and lightweight, and can be fabricated using roll-to-roll technologies. But the cells' power-conversion efficiency has been limited. A Northwestern Univ. research reports the design and synthesis of new polymer semiconductors a plastic solar cells with fill factors of 80%. This number is close to that of silicon solar cells.
How fish swimJune 25, 2013 7:44 am | News | Comments
How do fish swim? It is a simple question, but there is no simple answer. Researchers at Northwestern Univ. have revealed some of the mechanical properties that allow fish to perform their complex movements. Their findings could provide insights in evolutionary biology and lead to an understanding of the neural control of movement and development of bio-inspired underwater vehicles.
Method proposed for achieving nonlinear optical effectsJune 21, 2013 7:29 am | News | Comments
Picture two light beams intersecting one another in space. When the beams touch one another, does the light bend? Reflect? Combine into a single beam? The answer, of course, is the light beams do nothing; they simply continue on their path. But in certain crystalline materials and with a powerful enough laser, it is possible to make photons interact with one another and take on a special set of characteristics.

George Hardy is a small town Alabama dentist with a secret past.
Along with other aspiring actors, Hardy starred in the 1989 horror movie "Troll 2" -- a low-budget flick that holds a place in history as perhaps the worst movie ever made.
"I was just having fun. I just thought, 'What the heck, I'll be in a movie for the experience of it. I probably will never get another experience like this again,'" said Hardy, now 55. "We were just trying to make a good movie."
But they failed miserably. And failure doesn't really begin to describe it. "Troll 2" skipped theaters and became a cheesy staple of late night HBO. At one point, it was voted the worst film ever on the website IMDB.com, and the movie review site Rottentomatoes.com gave it a zero -- the lowest score possible.
Then there's the plot, which has nothing to do with 1986's "Troll." In fact, there's not a single troll in the movie. It's about a little boy, Joshua Waits, who is terrorized by vegetarian goblins who want to turn his family into plants and eat them.
"I thought that I was going to be a movie star. I thought that this was the next 'Gremlins' or the next 'Labyrinth,'" said Michael Paul Stephenson, who played Joshua Waits. "We put the VHS in and we all sat around the TV, and seven seconds in, my dad's jaw dropped and he said, 'Oh, Michael, this is a terrible movie.'"
Two decades later, audiences seem to think that "Troll 2" is so terrible, it's actually good. A rabid fan base has formed around the hilarious horror movie and theaters from Austin to Los Angeles are hosting special screenings to sold-out audiences.
"All of a sudden I had just about every major theater in the country contacting me, saying, 'We have all these "Troll 2" fans too,' and it set off all these screenings everywhere," said Stephenson. "And aside from the big screenings there were screenings happening in kids' basements everywhere."
From Los Angeles to New York, hundreds have also flocked to screenings of "The Room," an out-of-focus, poorly-edited box office dud described by one reviewer as "so bad... it becomes riveting." Audiences, it seems, love movies that are perfectly awful.
"The biggest reason 'Troll 2' has become this phenomenon is that it's sincere. It's a sincere failure that haunts us," Stephenson said. "With 'Troll 2,' we thought we were making a great horror film, and that's what causes people to smile and to laugh."
Fans today have made their own goblin costumes. Moviegoers shout at the screen, reciting excruciatingly bad lines of dialogue.
Stephenson wanted to find out what happened to the people behind "Troll 2," so he made a documentary, "Best Worst Movie," about the movie's renaissance.
He reunited the cast and traveled to Italy to track down filmmaker Claudio Fragasso, who still calls the movie an "important parable that deals with serious issues."
"I did a very good movie," Fragasso said in the documentary. "For the others, it's their problem, not my problem."
Fragasso is not delusional as Margo Prey, the woman who played mother Diana Waits in "Troll 2." Without a hint of sarcasm she says that "Troll 2" is good enough to be in the same class as "Casablanca."
"After I watched the movie, I just sat back and said, 'Wow. This is great. This is really great,'" Prey said. "You compare our movie to a Katherine Hepburn-Humphrey Bogart movie, and it fits in."

Overall Rating for Women's Multi (with Pomegranate) - 60 Tablets
Displaying reviews 1-3 of 3
By Maria

Good so far
I'm 4 or 5 days into taking Women's Multi by Jarrow Formulas. They're vegetarian/vegan friendly which was just what I was looking for. I got these with a $10 credit so I ended up paying less the 50¢. It turned my pee neon yellow, so watch out for that. They're pretty big and it's 2 pills per dose. All in all pretty good for the price.
Inexpensive, Vegetarian, Vegan.
Big, Smells weird, Two per dose.
√ I would recommend this item to a friend.

Very good
Jarrow Formula Womens Multi is a very good multivitamin. Its not too much; its not too little; its just right. This has to be my all time favorite multivitamin. It also absorbs well even though it is a tablet.
Well-formulated multivitamin. Lives up to its promises.
I wish the iron content was a little lower.
√ I would recommend this item to a friend.

Gas Lift Systems
Choosing the right gas-lift equipment helps ensure maximum reservoir productivity and operational efficiency.
Whether you have a low-producing conventional well, high-producing shale well, or prolific deepwater well, Weatherford gas-lift experts can help you get the most from your assets.
Our continuous and intermittent gas-lift systems are field-proven in onshore, shelf, deepwater, and extreme-environment wells.
We offer a complete family of gas-lift products, services, and experience to provide the optimum solution for your asset. In addition to surface equipment, we provide controllers, software, and full range of coiled-tubing gas-lift, waterflood, steamflood, and chemical-injection equipment.
Weatherford gas-lift experts work with you to create a gas-lift system that ensures proper installation, equipment compatibility, comprehensive analysis, and the most cost-effective match for maximum performance and optimum production.
Our engineers continually advance valve technology, improve existing designs, develop hybrid-lift systems, and create new production tools.
The patented dual-valve, external side-pocket, gas-lift mandrel is field-proven in deepwater, high-pressure, and highly corrosive well environments. We also offer a suite of design and analysis software that helps you select valve types, port sizes, depth settings, and more.
We enhance well performance with intelligence at the wellsite. Our controllers handle injection and gas-lift flows, along with parameter monitoring in single or multiple wells.
This equipment allows you to access continuous real-time data and control continuous gas injection based on a controlled set point along with support for orifice-meter and turbine-meter gas measurements. Our solution also includes a well-stability profile (heading detection) and an alarm interface.
Our advanced software systems can improve production in every stage of reservoir life. These systems enable optimal gas-lift system design, provide individual-well and full-field modeling, and optimize gas allocation across all wells.
Our life-of-well gas-lift solutions help you realize the true value of your gas-lift wells. We optimize our systems through design, monitoring, and analysis.

A WashPost/ABC News poll actually gives Romney a 45-42 advantage over Obama.
The advantage we have over musicians is we actually know our customers!
The government has played this up to their advantage, in an apparent attempt to turn ordinary Syrians against the opposition.
early 14c., avantage, "position of being in advance of another," from Old French avantage "advantage, profit, superiority," from avant "before," probably via an unrecorded Late Latin *abantaticum, from Latin abante (see advance).
The -d- is a 16c. intrusion on the analogy of Latin ad- words. Meaning "a favoring circumstance" (the opposite of disadvantage) is from late 15c. Tennis score sense is from 1640s, first recorded in writings of John Milton, of all people. Phrase to take advantage of is first attested late 14c.

text: But, the lower the viscosity, the less the load the oil can support at the bearing on the crankshaft. The higher the viscosity, the better the load it can support. Even this, however, has a trade-off, since the higher the viscosity, the more the drag at the bearing, and hence, potential power loss, or increased fuel consumption. So a compromise is chosen to minimise power loss, but maximise load support.

I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for non-Horror movies that would still work as 'Halloween' movies? I was thinking about this recently, and I realised that the Wizard of Oz makes an awesome Halloween movie despite not being horror, and I bet there are others also work.
To more literally answer your question with non-horror films that feature Halloween directly, there's this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_films_set_around_Halloween
Also Costume Quest, and TV specials like It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown.

Coraline and Paranorman are great more recent movies. While not featuring hallowing they both deal with horror themes without being scary, but more charming and cozy. Coraline gets a little creepy though, but it's really not that bad, it is still a childrens/family movie after all.

I don't know if that really works or not, I just think more people need to see Time Bandits.
Also: I feel like this is the time of year everyone wants to watch Labyrinth again, but I've never seen it so I can't say one way or the other.

|PUMP WITH A RESILIENT SEAL - A pump comprises a housing, with an interior defining a rotor path, an inlet formed in the housing at a first position on said rotor path, an outlet formed in the housing at a second position on said rotor path spaced from said first position. A rotor is rotatable in the housing with a first surface that seals against the housing. A second surface is formed on said rotor circumferentially spaced from said first surface and forms a chamber that travels around said rotor path to convey fluid from the inlet to the outlet. A resilient seal formed with the housing is located on the rotor path to prevent fluid flow from said outlet to said inlet past the seal. A passage may be provided to supply fluid to an under surface of the seal at a pressure that acts to urge the seal against the rotor.

Exceptional Flat Rim Representative
Ultimately, cost and low productivity prevented more extensive coining of the High Relief version. According to Roger Burdette, approximately one-third of the 12,367 pieces struck were of the fin-less variety.
This is a magnificent, Gem example of the Flat Rim variant. The surfaces showcase thick, satiny mint luster and are sharply defined, as one would expect from a coin that was struck at least three times with a hydraulic press. The MS65 grade, of course, precludes any noticeable or mentionable contact marks. Simply magnificent quality and eye appeal.

Please explain MacBook Pro pricing anomaly to me
In the current MacBook Pro lineup, there's a $100 dollar price jump between the 2.9Ghz i5 processors and 3.1 Ghz i7 processors on the 128GB and 256GB models, but a $200 difference for the same upgrade on the 512GB model, all other specs remaining the same.

The Federal Court's dismissal on Good Friday of Ave Maria University's lawsuit was made on technical legal grounds - so-called "ripeness" – because the federal regulations in question are not in final form. It does not mean our lawsuit is dead. The Obama administration has bought itself time by promising to change its regulations and the Court's dismissal order explicitly relies on this promise.
Florida Governor Rick Scott will be the 2013 commencement speaker at Ave Maria University, Jim Towey, the University's president announced today.
