Review by JohnFair
It may be Thanksgiving week in New York, but Eve and her homicide squad find themselves involved in one of their most intensed cases ever as they try and track down Jerry Reinhold wanted for the murder of his parents and ex. No mystery as to who did the murders even if some of his friends find it difficult to believe good old Jerry could ever do anything like that. But Eve and the team are in no doubt.This is basically a Columbo episode on speed - we know who did it and we're reasonably certain why he did it but there is a reasonable degree of tension as we hope Eve and Roarke are able to find the killer before he works his way down his sh*t list. At firs, things look like they're going the way of the killer but gradually the odds change as Roark and EDD uncover the last testament of one of Reinhold's victims.As we've come to expect from JD Robb after all this time, weget a fast actioned tale with some emotional moments and if there are less twists and turns this time out the tension is still high to lead to a satisfying finale

The coming months will see several retail real estate investment trusts offered as new floats, at a time when the underlying consumer sector remains under pressure.
But analysts have said that while shoppers remain cautious, owning bricks-and-mortar malls is still favoured.
This is because of rising land values and the fact that landlords can generate income from a variety of areas in a mall, such as food courts, a percentage of cinema ticket sales, international fashion brands and mobile devices.
That helps to offset falling rents from discretionary goods such as mid-range fashion, homewares and high-end jewellery.
In the past six months more than $3 billion of retail assets have changed hands.
CFS Retail has added to the momentum with the conditional sale of four shopping centres in Victoria to the proposed Pacific Retail REIT, which is looking to float in the next few months with an initial raising of $400 million.
This comes after US private equity group Blackstone late last week filed a registration statement with the US Securities and Exchange Commission relating to the proposed IPO.

While the ownership group of Suffolk Downs moves forward with plans to redevelop the property as real estate, it intends to again host an abbreviated Thoroughbred meet next summer.
Track management on Sept. 30 met the Massachusetts Gaming Commission's Oct. 1 deadline for the submission of 2017 complete live racing license applications. The state statute requires Suffolk Downs to run from one to 50 days of live horse racing in order to retain simulcasting rights, and the track's request was for six days.
The dates request mirrored the 2016 six-day meet, when Suffolk raced on Saturdays and Sundays on one weekend each in early July, August, and September. If approved by the MGC, which is almost a certainty, the 2017 racing festival days will be held July 8-9, August 5-6, and Sept. 2-3.
Additional 2017 dates may be added to the schedule, sources close to the on-going negotiations on a purse contract between track management and the New England HBPA told BloodHorse. On Labor Day weekend Suffolk Downs chief operating officer Chip Tuttle addressed an open NEHBPA meeting at the track and said that a handshake agreement was in place with the group's board of directors.
Once a purse agreement is signed, the NEHBPA might request as many as six additional days based upon funding from the state's Race Horse Development Fund for purses and allowable expenses. It would be incumbent upon Suffolk Downs to file the request for funding once the purse agreement is signed.
Another factor that figures broadly into a request for any additional dates is the potential availability of race-ready horses now that Suffolk operates as a ship-in facility.
Meanwhile, there is no possibility live Thoroughbred racing will return to the Brockton Fairgrounds, which is owned by the Carney family, next year. Chris Carney told BloodHorse Sep. 30 that they did not submit a 2017 dates application by the deadline and will not request an extension.
The Carney family executed a 2016 purse agreement with the rival Massachusetts Thoroughbred Horsemen's Association for a 15-day live meet in 2016 at the five-furlong track which has been shuttered since 2001. But the MGC voted in August not to approve the license when concerns about funding mechanisms and safety issues could not be resolved to the commissioners' satisfaction.
Nonetheless, Bill Lagorio, president of the Massachusetts Thoroughbred Horsemen's Association, remains optimistic for the future. He said that the Carneys purchased the entire length of the old safety rail once belonging to the now-closed Rockingham Park in the track's dispersal auction and liquidation this past week.
"I was there myself with the Carneys' crew dismantling it. We have the full mile-and-a-quarter of Rockingham's Fontana rail," he said.
In related news, Lagorio reported that the federal lawsuit filed by the NEHBPA against his group alleging violations of the Interstate Horse Racing Act of 1987 was dismissed Sep. 29, now allowing the Massachusetts Thoroughbred Horsemen's Association to be recognized as the representative of its members.

Retailers help to fuel gluten-free food boom, Euromonitor
According to Euromonitor analyst Ewa Hudson, this category achieved double-digit global value sales growth of 11 per cent, even in recession-hit 2009. In comparison, overall health and wellness products achieved a "much more sedate" 3 per cent growth over the 2004-2009 review period.
In 2009, gluten-free food registered global value sales of US$2.3bn, accounting for 27 per cent of food intolerance sales. Hudson said that half of these sales were generated by bakery products, which is traditionally the most relevant category.
Move into mainstream
The increased diagnosis of coeliac disease, a genetic disorder requiring sufferers to follow a life-long gluten-free diet, has had a part to play in gluten-free's gowth, according to the analyst.
It was only until the late 1990s when reliable blood tests became more widely available, since then – incidence figures have leapt to one out of every 100-300 individuals in the general population worldwide,said Hudson.
"The medical world was hit by the profound realisation that coeliac disease was by no means a rare condition," she said.
"Equally significant was the conclusion that coeliac disease was a global problem affecting people of all ethnicities, rather than just those of European origin," Hudson added.
Media coverage
According to the analyst, increasing media coverage of gluten-intolerance symptoms, such as fatigue, weight gain, skin rashes and lack of concentration, has also boosted the growth of this category, turning gluten almost into a "enemy of wellness".
The analyst said that today a significant proportion of gluten-free shoppers are not diagnosed coeliacs but individuals who have diagnosed themselves as being sensitive to gluten, and are cutting it out of their diets with the aim of improving their wellbeing.
Hudson said that retailers the world over have not only responded to this trend but have actively aided its growth by stocking an increasing number of gluten-free brands and introducing gluten-free private label lines.
Continued growth
In line with the Euromonitor analysis, the latest report by Packaged Facts entitled "Gluten-Free Foods and Beverages in the US, 3rd Edition", claims that few consumers buy gluten free foods to address celiac disease or dietary intolerances.
According to the findings, only 8 to 12 percent of gluten free consumers said they bought gluten free products because they or a member of their household has celiac disease or an intolerance to gluten, wheat or other ingredients.
The market research organization predicts that the gluten free market will continue to grow over the next five years, albeit at a slower rate, and now projects the US market for gluten free foods and beverages to approach $5.5bn by 2015.
Its current estimate puts the market at $2.64bn in 2010 – a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 30 per cent from 2006 to 2010.
FoodNavigator.com will be addressing formulation and labelling of allergens - and nutrients to which some individual are intolerant - at its forthcoming Allergen-free Foods conference, taking place in London on 31st March 2011.
The speaker line-up includes Chun-Han Chan, senior scientific officer for allergen threshold programme, Food Standards Agency; Dr Rene Crevel,science leader, allergy & immunology, Unilever; Paddy Cronin, commercial director, UCB Finsbury Foods; Alfonso Lampen, head of department food safety, BfR, Federal Institute for Risk Assessment – and other experts in the field.

1:365 Familiarity brings comfort, originally uploaded by Lori.D | @loriprima (catching up).
Back for a new year of exploration and inspiration!
Via Flickr:
So I have a lot of nervous energy around starting a new 365 project. I loved all that I learned in 2010, but felt a bit burnt out for most of 2011. Not all of that was because of photography though. I traveled almost every month – Hong Kong, Seattle, San Francisco, Las Vegas, Orlando, Pittsburgh, San Diego, LA, Milwaukee, New Orleans….life got a bit crazy. I also finished my degree (finally) and started grad school. I got promoted and became recognized in a 40 under 40 campaign. All sounds good, right? Well, I figured that sometimes all the glitter doesn't always equal happiness. So in 2012, I want to focus more on the internal achievements. I'm getting healthier (started working out regularly 3 weeks ago), and putting more emphasis on family time. I also miss the Flickr community – thus one of the reasons that I wanted to do another 365. There's something to be said for daily doses of photos, humor and friendship.
So Happy New Years!
p.s. My jar is the empty one. A couple sneaky kids seemed to really like the chocolate caramels inside.

Have you seen Jennifer Hudson's latest commercial for Weight Watchers?
In the commercial, we see a heavier Hudson back in her American Idol days performing the song, "I believe in You and Me" from 2004. She is then joined on stage by her new slimmed down self — 80lbs lighter — for the duet. It's a total thin-spiration!

I created Mom's Cancer, which won an Eisner Award and was published by Abrams. Other honors included a Harvey Award and the German Youth Literature Prize. My second book, Whatever Happened to the World of Tomorrow?, was nominated for Eisner and Harvey awards and won the American Astronautical Society's Emme Award. Recently did an Eisner-nominated webcomic, "The Last Mechanical Monster." I'm grateful.

Drinking & Drawing in Baltimore
. . . sadly, without me.
The Baltimore Comic Con is this weekend, and since I'm on the other side of the continent and not wealthy, I'm not going. However, as part of the festivities, cartoonist Joe Sutliff--whom I met at the June Comics & Medicine Conference in, yes, Baltimore--is organizing a "Drink & Draw" event, where art will be sold to raise funds for Team Cul de Sac, the Michael J. Fox Foundation, and Parkinson's Disease Research. Parkinson's research is a cause that many cartoonists have taken on as their own since one of our own, "Cul de Sac" creator Richard Thompson, had to retire his excellent strip because of it.
Several days ago Joe asked if I could donate something to the cause, and after asking Joe's opinion on subject matter I put ink to paper. Since it arrived safely in Joe's mailbox yesterday, I thought I'd share:
This is the first authorized mash-up of Whatever Happened to the World of Tomorrow and The Last Mechanical Monster. Probably the only mash-up. Although they really go well together, don't they? As I drew it, I was surprised how naturally these two projects of mine fit. Knowing me as well as I do, I probably shouldn't have been.
Who's going to win this Battle of Brian's Books? The Robot's very strong, but never underestimate the destructive power of a teenager.
Some of my light blue penciling shows in this scan. I don't even try to hide or erase it. For me, a big part of the fun of owning original comic art is seeing all the work and process that goes into it. I expect a lot of folks attending a comics convention might feel the same. If you want to own it, go have a beer or soda pop with Joe.
Best of luck to Joe, the Drink & Draw, and everyone attending the Baltimore Comic Con without me. Especially all you Harvey Award nominees (like my friend and editor Charlie Kochman!). I hope it's a blast.

I'm visiting an Italian family in the Naples area later this month who are hosting me while I attend a program. I'd like to take a couple appreciation gifts to them, under $50 each that would be something as an Italian mother and her daughter might appreciate. I'm not sure if there are any unique items as Italians who may have lived in the USA might miss when they return home. By way of example, when my wife returned from living in Europe for a year, it was Nutella, which was hard to find until in more recent years. And when she hosted an Austrian girl for a year in the USA, when she returned home, she missed peanut butter. Is there anything, whether a food item or other item as Italian ladies may appreciate as a gift?

So, they used to live in the U.S.? Have you asked them if there's anything they miss from the U.S.?
FWIW, I wouldn't take food items unless they were specifically requested.

If you can't think of anything else, a lovely bunch of flowers each would be appreciated, I'm sure. What female doesn't like getting flowers?

Thank you for the recommendations.

We brought nice scarves to an Italian family of three women. They loved them. Found great ones at Banana Republic Everyone wears scarves.
Report Abuse
Do not take scarves! Italy is the capital of silk and other scarves so it is a bit like taking ice to Inuits etc. For the daughter something from Abercrombie & Fitch would probably be very appreciated. For the mother something from Tiffany - the package always looks great even if it is the simplest of things. If your total budget is say $100 maybe the mother could be a bit over $50 and the daughter under. Consider a factory outlet to get the best price they will never know.

I've found chocolates and flowers are always appreciated, you might also like to take them out to dinner one evening.
Report Abuse
Do not confuse appreciation with good manners. The OP I believe is looking for something which shows thought rather than Plan B or C.
Report Abuse
Even with scarves available in Italy, our family liked getting ones from the US.
When I visited the family and had dinner with them, I brought a wine chiller/flower vase by Nambe, because it was made in New Mexico.
Report Abuse
PeaceOut - maybe your family did appreciate the scarves but I would recommend otherwise. The wine chiller/flower vase is certainly a more original gift.
Report Abuse
I don't know how well you know the women. I'd be tempted to take unique or adorable cell phone holders.
I disagree with nochblad that scarves wouldn't be appreciated. I've yet to meet the Italian woman who can't use another scarf, either for warmth or accent. But it helps if you how to pick a flattering color for them.
I actually think food gifts, including taking them out to dinner, is not such a great idea. Maybe if the chocolates are exceptional. Most Italians I know have favorite restaurants, most will be embarrassed if you pick up the tab.
In general, my experience of Italians is that they are embarrassed to receive gifts. They would rather give them. So make sure whatever you bring is modest and perhaps useful. An attractive picture frame for the mother. A bracelet for the daughter. I recently saw some funny computer memory flash keys in New York museum shops. Might be nice for the daughter.
Report Abuse
i'll agree with nochblad on this one, do not buy a scarf UNLESS you are buy a Hermes ! do not insult some one in Italia with "made in China"
i always bring ; from a good local chocolatier , chocolates filled with peanut butter gift wrapped.
Tiffany Bracelet or charm, great idea. !!
Report Abuse
also, i have brought maple syrup.
Report Abuse
I doubt "Made in France" is any more or less insulting than "Made in China." Most of the scarves Italian females buy AND wear in Italy are not designer-label scarves, and many cherished ones are picked up for a song at the open markets. The real problem is that it is tough to pick an article of clothing for someone else.
I wouldn't eat chocolates filled with peanut butter, or serve them to guests. I wouldn't know what to do with a jar of maple syrup in Italy, but maybe somebody else would.
As for Tiffany, I'd hesitate bringing anyone something perceived to be a very expensive gift.
Report Abuse
>>What female doesn't like getting flowers?<<
One with allergies?
Report Abuse
The real thing here is to give a present where first it shows that the giver has put some thought into it and second is something American.
IMO flowers and chocolates do not show sufficient thought. I would consider a scarf boring and a risky choice unless the giver really knows the recipient's fashion style and can find something American which is very suitable. As an illustration of what I mean - if the lady is somewhat bohemian then perhaps something native American could be suitable.
The article should be American - an Italian would NEVER bring a gift which was French, Chinese or from elsewhere.
Re Tiffany - sophisticated Italians know what Tiffany items cost. But the important thing here is that it is American.
Report Abuse
yeah, most people like flowers. I always thought etiquette for houseguests was that they were to bring something that is anonymous, not personal, and general for the house or household, not some personal gift item. Flowers, some foodstuffs (eg, wine, gourmet coffee or cookies), candles, etc. But if this household is solely these women, I guess that makes it different.
Most scarves in the US are made in CHina or India, what is the point of bringing one.
I think it is absurd to assume someone of one nationality must want certain junk food. I'm American and hardly ever eat peanut butter or maple syrup, for example. If you know someone wants something, sure, but to assume you should carry junk food abroad to present as a house gift?
Charms are something only worn by very few women, in my experience. I would not take those.
I think it is difficult to take gifts to someone who you apparently know nothing about in terms of what they might like or want.
This is hard to project, but I have a German friend and when she goes home, what her female relatives want from the US (as it is very expensive there or something, not sure) are some expensive brands of makeup or moisturizer. I think most women might like to try some luxury brand of something different in that regard (not makeup probably, that is too personal and difficult to pick out). Some expensive scented hand lotion or something, any woman can use that. When I come back from Paris, what I sometimes bring as gifts to those who have done favors for me are things like French scented bath soap/gel (not bath oil, but just the soap anyone can use). Anyone can use bath gel, and the foreign label is kind of fun to have. It might not be the same in reverse, but at least that is something that can be used up and that someone won't have to just throw away if they don't like it (like some jewelry or other items).
I wouldn't mind getting some Chanel no. 5 bath gel, for example.
Report Abuse
well I don;t think either peanut butter or maple syrup (the real thing - not the sugar water flavored with a drop of maple) are junk food. But I wouldn't expect most Italians to like them (I've never seen a pancake in Italy although I suppose it is possible).
Agree that a house guest usually brings a house gift - not a personal one. What about a coffee table book about your city - or the great national parks or monuments in DC or similar?
Tiffany strikes me as overkill and too personal. And a scarf? who knows what someone would like? Fragrances are dicey - some people are allergic and others can have a wide variety of tastes.
In the US I usually bring wine and chocolates and take the hosts out to a nice dinner one night - unless it's people that I know will LOVE something else (as in something they collect).
Report Abuse
Is there anything unique from your home area?? Like here in the Pacific NW I might bring chocolate covered hazelnuts from Oregon, vacuum packed smoked salmon from Alaska, marionberry jam. Maple syrup or candies from Vermont. Etc.
If not that, I do believe that fresh flowers, a bottle of wine, a box of chocolates or pastries bought locally are always an appropriate 'hostess' gift.
Report Abuse
I have recently visited a family whom I knew would spend several days taking me around. The gift thing has gotten harder over the years. In 1990's there were many premium US brands made in America. But now, even formerly iconic US brands are often made somewhere totally outsourced including the quality control = junk. The local products like the ones mentioned by Suze are still made in the US, so I tend to take some of them. Even the Tiffany brand others mentioned are often made outside the US. Look carefully at the country of origin. In the end, I had to be content if the product was not made in the host's country, other European countries that compete in that type of product, or outsourced to countries not known for quality products.

I think what is being lost in this thread is the graciousness of Italians. They will appreciate and be touched by any gift you bring. Obvisouly, you would like to bring something that doesn't get shoved in a corner and never used.
It is easier to pick for an adult Italian woman, who will always find a use for a picture frame, a flower vase, a box of bon bons. The teenage girl is bit more tricky. Little funny anklet socks with an American logo might turn into a cherished possession. Or high-end ear buds. Or a flashy T-shirt.
But these notions that Italian women will be "insulted" by a gift strike me as a misunderstanding of Italy. They will surely not expect a gift, and will feel a bit of burden if it is an expensive gift, but they will embrace your expression of gratitude, and the effort you made to bring something to them, in whatever form it comes.

I think what is being lost in this thread is the graciousness of Italians. They will appreciate and be touched by any gift you bring.>>
when i was on an italian language course last year, [i know, lucky me!] we were unexpectedly invited for dinner to the home of the family who were hosting one of the other students. we felt we ought to take something, so after a LOT of thought, we took a good bottle of prosecco and some decent chocolates. the hostess was just thrilled.
if I'd been staying there, I'd have arranged for flowers to be delivered after I'd left.
my point is - anything that you give which has had some love and thought put into it will be appreciated.

There are only a handful of "franchise" players in each generation, guys who will make multiple first-team All-NBA appearances, guys who can be the #1 options on championship teams. So when an organization gets one, there's only one goal: that ever-so elusive ring (a championship).
And just as any seven-year relationship that doesn't end in "a ring" (marriage) has fault on both sides, both LeBron and Cleveland share some responsibility for the ugly spectacle that was their public break-up.
1. Cleveland was scarred by an ugly history of past relationships.

One of the most important aspects in regard to planning your big changes for the New Year is organization. You need proper planning to schedule your future events so that they operate smoothly and in tandem with your everyday life. From past experience, I learned that trying to do too much leads to abject failure. Once the first hurdle is missed, some women tend to give up for another year. Some even have the audacity to shrug their shoulders and say; 'oh well, at least I tried'. Since when? Where was the effort?
A week into the new year is hardly trying now is it? Two weeks on the go and we might have some business to discuss. Three months down the line and if you've stuck to your plan then you've already made progress. Now that's trying. Another important aspect of proper planning in regard to changing your life from a sedentary and, in many cases, grossly unhealthy one, to a wholesomely healthy life that is also a happy one, is creating a good balance. You don't want to be too focused on just going to the gym.
You want to be doing other things as well. Something else is very important. Your diet. That must be looked at in depth as well. This is particularly the case if you've been eating very badly and now you're grossly overweight. By eating badly, you've been taking in very fatty, starchy and sugary foods that are mostly processed. Making the switch from these to foods that are entirely healthy and natural can be quite hard in the beginning but this transformation can be managed well in small stages.
Look on the funny side of life. Take time out to laugh at yourself in the mirror every once in a while and make threatening remarks at your torso, saying that soon, all those jelly rolls will be a thing of the past. Ha ha ha! There you go, that's how you do it. Laugh out loud. You can take a fun-filled and tasty approach to dieting life by including juicing and smoothies into your healthy eating plans. Juicing basically means that you're going to be making your own fruit and vegetable juices at home from now on.
Making your own smoothies will be similar but here you'll be using a different set of ingredients and creating different taste sensations. You'll be feeding your rehabilitating body with a different menu of nutrients, vitamins and minerals. Like your exercise plan for next year, you'll be enjoying a whole lot of variety while practicing your healthy eating habits. There won't ever be any need to excuse yourself from the plan out of sheer boredom. Your healthy living aspects should be as fun-filled as possible.
Making your own juice and smoothies is like baking a cake, only the ingredients you're using are all very good for you and your body. As part of your balanced eating plan, it will help to replenish and energize you for a more physically active life. That physically active life, of course, includes your regular exercise. Your regular exercise is going to include at least two weekly trips to the gym or a bout of domestic calisthenics. What do I mean by this last bit? Domestic calisthenics is what I like to also call hands-free exercise if you like.
You don't need to use heavy weights. Your body is your weights. You'll be rolling out a mat in your living room, if there's space, or outside on the lawn, if the weather's good, and you'll also be doing stretching exercises to keep your body supple and flexible. This helps to take away the ill-effects of regular stiffness, especially during the early days of exercising. It's also good for keeping back father time. Or old mother Hubbard.

Detection of annihilation gammas in a Cherenkov radiator
Cherenkov radiator for TOF-PET
Experimental setup
Back-to-back timing resolution
Reconstruction, data and MC
Conclusions and summary
Time-of-Flight difference of annihilation gammas is used to improve the contrast of images obtained with PET:
Novel photon detectors – MCP-PMT and SiPM – have excellent timing resolution → TOF resolution limited by the scintillation process
Cherenkov light is promptly produced by a charged particle traveling through the medium with velocity higher than the speed of light c0/n.
Disadvantage of Cherenkov light is a small number of Cherenkov photons produced per interaction → detection of single photons!
Annihilation gammas scatter in patient or detector → unwanted background when scattered gamma is detected in coincidence
Requirements for the Cherenkov radiator for annihilation gammas:
N.B. PbWO4 is also a scintillator.
Hamamatsu SL10 MCP-PMT
(prototypes for Belle II TOP counter talk by K. Matsuoka):
Two detectors in a back-to-back configuration with 25x25x15 mm3 crystals coupled to MCP-PMT with optical grease.
Cherenkov radiators:
-monolithic: 25x25x5,15 mm3 (PbF2, PbWO4)
-4x4 segmented: 22.5x22.5x7.5 mm3 (PbF2)
-black painted, Teflon wrapped, bare
Interactions in a single crystal and in a full back-to-back setup were simulated in GEANT4, taking into account:
Simulation results for PbF2 and PbWO4 radiators
* in the 200 - 800 nm wavelength range
More Cherenkov photons produced in PbWO4
More are detected in PbF2 due to a better optical transmission (lower λcutoff)
Best timing resolution: black painted PbF2 crystals (Cherenkov light hitting the walls is absorbed - delayed Cherenkov photons suppressed → improved timing, reduced efficiency)
Data taken with :
FWHM ~ 95 ps
FWHM ~ 70 ps
in red: cross-talk suppressed
t = t0 – 132 ps
Data taken at three different point source positions spaced by 20 mm:
~ 95 ps FWHM
~ 14 mm FWHM
Black painted 15 mm PbF2 crystals.
t = t0
t = t0 + 118 ps
TOF resolution for different radiator surfaces (15 mm thick PbF2):
black painted: 121 ps FWHM, bare: 193 ps FWHM, Teflon wrapped: 284 ps FWHM
Indirect photons (bare and Teflon wrapped crystals): adds a very wide component, FWHM increases faster than sigma of the peak
FWHM probably not the right quantity to compare
has to be checked on reconstructed images
N.B. Somewhat worse timing performance than in the original set-up; now we have more channels, and not a perfect calibration.
Time resolution, PbWO4
TOF resolution for PbWO4(black painted):
+ smaller number of Cherenkov photons
PbWO4does not look like a competitive Cherenkov detector for annihilation gammas
Triggered photons: on one side of the 22Na source use a scintillation detector with energy measurement
Detection efficiency =
# events detected on Cherenkov detector with a 511 keV trigger
# events with 511 keV trigger
Corrected for events due to Compton scattering of 1275 kev gammas from 22Na source
Results: from 4.3% (5 mm thick, black painted PbF2) up to
18% (15 mm thick, Teflon wrapped PbF2)
FOM=e2 /s
→ 1.4xdetection efficiency (2x in FOM=e2 /s)

Daily 3-Bet: APAC Bling, Awesome 20, Ivey is God
The PokerListings Daily 3-Bet is the hidden bonus track on the last disc of the afternoon poker news "Sounds from the Felt" compilation.
Any suggestions for a future 3-Bet, feel free to drop a note in the comments.
Today in the 3-Bet we find a glimpse of the flashy hardware available at the first-ever WSOP APAC, Gavin Smith and Wicked Chops pronounce the 20 most awesome people in poker and Phil Ivey stars in the first deleted scene from the new BET RAISE FOLD documentary.
1) APAC Bling, Negreanu on Accumulator
You can question the value of a WSOP bracelet as a primary benchmark for "success" in poker, but there's no denying it's a sweet, sweet piece of hardware.
Not exactly for wearing around while you run errands on the weekend, but still a pretty sweet souvenir of likely one of your best moments ever in poker.
If you don't believe it, check the pic tweeted by Joe Hachem showing what's up for grabs at the first-ever WSOP APAC.
FYI, in case you missed it, the first event is now two days in and we've been all over the live coverage down in Australia.
Check our live updates here, brilliantly provided by the team at Poker Asia Pacific.
2) Gavin Smith and Wicked Chops Talk Awesome
It was hard to come up with a full 20, apparently, but in response to the annual Bluff Power 20 Wicked Chops and Gavin Smith decided to name Poker's "Awesome 20" and do a podcast about it.
As you might expect given the hosts, it's a very enjoyable listen.
Poker characters to make the list include poker agent Brian Balsbaugh, the Southern District of New York (no lie), WSOP impresario Ty Stewart, Nolan Dalla and Anthony Holden.
Spoiler Alert: Smith's #1? The one and only JRB, aka Bobby Bellande, aka BrokeLivingJRB.
Agree or not, Smith's incredulousness analysis of JRB's awesomeness might be the best 2 minutes we've heard on a poker podcast in 2013.
How does JRB do it? Part charisma, part staking, part who really knows ... but the legend of JRB is one for poker's annals.
Listen to the full podcast here.
3) Ivey is God - Deleted Clip from BET RAISE FOLD
First things first - if you're a poker fan and have been anticipating the release of BOOM!, the online poker documentary, it's now called BET RAISE FOLD and is due out this summer.
An updated trailer was released yesterday, which you can see below, and it was followed up today with the release of a deleted scene.
Called Ivey is God, it's essentially a minute or so of people in poker explaining why Ivey is awesome. So yeah, likely superfluous. Clips below:

The Solution:
The following is the data received from the various trials listed under Method. One can see that adding BSA at pH 9 reduces adhesion of phage to SiN, but phage alone shows little adhesion at pH 8. Therefore, using a buffer of ~pH 8 to transport the molecule through the channel is ideal.
Q-β Bacteria Phage injecting its RNA into a cell. Q-β Bacteria Phage diameter with negative charges around the capsid.
1. BSA has a high affinity for the silicon at pH 9, which is also true for the phage.
a. Phage bound to the wall of the channel, b. phage bouncing off the surface at optimal pH (see graph 2) , c. phage bouncing off BSA molecule on SiN surface(see graph 3).
Single molecule detection apparatus and close up showing molecules clumping together and also adhering to the walls of the channel.
2. Phage alone at three pH levels showing how adhesion increases as the pH nears 9. Corresponds to image (b.) to the left.
3. Phage with BSA which shows that Phage does not adhere with BSA. This corresponds with image (c.) on the left.

Short Cut Tips Videos Make A Clickable Photo Link in WordPress
Sometimes making clickable photos can be a real pain so whenever I can find a Short Cut Tip on something to help save you time, I will make a video about it.
Working in WordPress there are quite a few ways to put in a photo and make it clickable but that involves finding the picture or photo yourself, cropping if needed and sizing to the sites specifications, etc.
I found a simple way to "Make a Clickable Photo Link in WordPress" if you already have the photo URL and the link URL.
What can be better than when the resources are hosted on another site and you didn't have to add one more to your already overloaded site?
This quick video below shows you just how to do this.

text: Hi All, I'm new to the forum, looks like a really good tool for help and discussions. Hopefully some of you can help me out in a new eCommerce venture. I've currently been tasked with setting up an Online print store to help small/medium sized businesses order print. Of course i know its very much a saturated market. But i would love to here from you and tell me if there are any particular things you like and dislike about them. What would help you? what items do you need printing?Do you ever have clients who use them and get get confused with terminology? We very much want to create a solution that is simple and helps graphic designers achieve more revenue. I have created a small survey below that would be great if you could take 2 mins out to fill in. would be a great help. or even post on this thread. https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/Q6M9ZY6 Kind regards Sterlingdirect

You just can't know what its like to be broken until you have hit the bottom. As the wife of a former proud serviceman, I watched my husband go from proud soldier to someone that was mentally not someone I knew at all. The problem is not in the fact that people are broken when they return from war — it's that we expect them to put themselves back together again.
But putting yourself back together, when trying to be a husband and a father is tough. We think of a soldier as a war hero who can pull himself up by his own bootstraps and overcome any adversity. Well, frankly, some service men come home and their boot straps have been cut off. Sometimes you just need that help.
Veterans Court did that for Sam. Sam returned home from Iraq with PTSD and symptoms of depression. After stints in the VA Hospital in Atlanta, many group sessions with other veterans, and medication, Sam wound up in the back seat of a squad car one night — the promise of healing had not happened and Sam was now facing serious consequences.
Finally, Veterans Treatment Court provided the breakthrough we needed. Sam is no longer on pain medication and instead is being the father to our four children. After the time in the Veterans Treatment Court he is the man that served his country and now serves his family. He regularly picks up our four children from school so I can continue my career. We recently started a new chapter of our life and moved to a new home where I started a new job. Without the intervention of Veterans Treatment Court, that move would not have been possible.
Sam is not a boastful man, but I am a boastful wife and I am thankful for what Veterans Treatment Court has done for Sam.

'Jonah Hex' Red Carpet Premiere Photos
Last night was the Los Angels premiere of "Jonah Hex," and here are four photos from our much larger gallery, which I encourage you to take a look at because this is the most unattractive Megan Fox has looked in a while…possibly ever. But that Barbara Streisand…DAMN! She'll be a hippy goddess forever.
Have you decided if you're going to see it yet? From the looks of some of these people, they didn't even seem too happy they were about to mosey on into a theater and sit through it! What does it say about "Jonah Hex" if not even "Jonah Hex" and Barbara Streisand don't want to see it? But there was one person who looked happy to be there: Wes Bentley. He shouldn't be emblematic of everyone's excitement, however, because Bentley here gets over-the-moon excited when the wind blows a plastic bag to his left.

German luxury carmaker Porsche began manufacturing its Panamera four-door car at its factory in Leipzig, Germany.
The company, based in Stuttgart, said it has spent 1 billion euros ($A1.71 billion) developing the completely new model, which goes on sale alongside its two sports-car models and its hulking Cayenne sports utility vehicle.
The low-slung Panamera is aimed at rich people who want sports-car handling and style while carrying back-seat passengers, and is seen as competing mainly with premium BMW and Mercedes-Benz cars.
Porsche said it expects to manufacture 20,000 Panamera cars per year. The model goes on sale in September in Germany.
A senior executive, Michael Macht, said orders for the Panamera were "higher than expected" but declined to give figures.
Sales of premium cars in Germany have slumped as consumers have been wounded by the recession. Macht said world sales of the Cayenne were currently off by 20 to 25 per cent. Volkswagen makes the body shells for both the Panamera and Cayenne.
"A crisis is an opportunity," said Macht. "We see this as the right car coming at the right time."
There was no word during the assembly line launch about Porsche's fate after last year's cheeky attempt to take over Volkswagen went awry.
Porsche obtained more than half of the voting shares in Volkswagen last year but has been unable to secure control and is instead hobbled with a reported nine billion euros ($A15.84 billion) in debt.
Porsche reportedly holds options on enough shares to raise its Volkswagen stake from 51 to 75 per cent. Analysts say that unwinding those options, many of which expire this month, could lead to huge losses for Porsche if the Volkswagen stock slumps.
The Porsche and Piech families who control Porsche agreed last month to seek a merger with Volkswagen. Talks are continuing.

There is a rather a long shot, I'm seeking a large looking panaderia on Vermont(?) heading downtown. It's on the right as I'm heading downtown. Looks like it may be part of chain? From the outside it sort of reminds me of El Gallo Giro. Perhaps starts with an "H"? Wondered if anyone is familiar? I know this is a long shot, but TIA;-)

The Didache
"Assemble on the Lord's day, and break bread and offer the Eucharist; but first make confession of your faults, so that your sacrifice may be a pure one. Anyone who has a difference with his fellow is not to take part with you until he has been reconciled, so as to avoid any profanation of your sacrifice [Matt. 5:23–24]. For this is the offering of which the Lord has said, 'Everywhere and always bring me a sacrifice that is undefiled, for I am a great king, says the Lord, and my name is the wonder of nations' [Mal. 1:11, 14]" (Didache 14 [A.D. 70]).

After destroying the clubhouse of a local motorbike club, the man hid nearby and used guard dogs to keep the police at bay.28 April 2008
RHENEN - A man in the Dutch town of Rhenen has destroyed the clubhouse of a local motorbike club with a grab crane.
The man, who was drunk at the time, rammed the crane against the clubhouse, damaging the gas mains and electrical wiring.
When the police arrived, he hid nearby at his own business premises and used guard dogs to keep the police at bay.
He was finally arrested about one and a half hours later.
It is still not clear why he destroyed the clubhouse.

GOOD news! You're about to get another interest rate cut next month.
Reserve bank boss Glenn Stevens hinted in a speech this week he'd push rates lower, which means they'll go from generational lows to all-time lows.
The idea of course is that low interest rates lower the cost of living, and therefore stimulate the economy (and they're also a sign our economy is stalling).
But not everyone has a mortgage, and lower interest rates hurt retirees with savings.
There was a report released this week - which didn't get as much press as Steven's speech - that showed the level of financial stress of Aussie households is actually increasing despite low interest rates.
The ING DIRECT Financial Wellbeing Index report surveyed 1030 households and found more than 80 per cent reported their living costs had increased by an average of $43 per week over the past year.
That might not seem like much to anyone who spends a week's wages on jeans - but for retirees, and low-income earners, it's a huge whack.
The report found six out of 10 people are bargain hunting, spending less and making do.
This would be a perfect segue into how to save money. However, all things considered, I'd much rather stick a fork in my eye than write about commonsense, cookie-cutter "money saving tips". So I won't.
Instead, I'll tell you about a single mother on Centrelink benefits who managed to save up enough money to start a share portfolio.
Her strategy was simple - as every savings strategy needs to be to really work: She saved every "pinkie" ($5 note) she found in her purse.
She confessed there were times over the years when she'd ask a shopkeeper to give her the change in coins. Yet overall she kept that rule for years - until one day she had thousands of dollars saved up.
The money will eventually pay for her daughter's education. That's a life-changing one-way ticket out of poverty.
The reason her strategy worked so well was she employed some powerful psychological triggers: She ritualised the behaviour, made the decision-making process automatic and made a game of it.
You will succeed if you do this, too. But here's my one "money saving tip": Do it with $20 notes.
Tread Your Own Path!

Stock of the week
Australian Foundation Investment Company
IF you've followed this column for any length of time, you'll have worked out that I'm a little like a 14-year-old girl at a One Direction concert when talking about my favourite Aussie investment vehicle: the Australian Foundation Investment Company (AFIC).
AFIC is an ASX-listed company, whose business is investing in other blue-chip companies.
Their primary goals are to "pay growing dividends", and "provide attractive returns over the long-term".
And that's the thing: AFIC is very much a long-term type of company -- they've been in the game for 80 years -- and have only once failed to pay a dividend (around the time of the Great Depression).
Last week AFIC released its preliminary final report. Net profit is up 10.4 per cent, and their dividend increased 1c to 14c per share.
Yet even more impressive was AFIC's portfolio return. For the past 12 months AFC returned an eye-popping 24.4 per cent - beating the ASX 200 index return of 22.8 per cent.
This might not sound like much, but long-term, this can be worth hundreds of thousands of extra dollars.
And it's no fluke. Over the past one, three, five, and 10 years AFIC outperformed the broader market.
That "broader market" includes high-cost fund managers who manage your superannuation (read AMP, Colonial, Mercer).
They charge 90 per cent more in management fees than AFIC, but don't consistently match their returns. (This year AFIC's management expense ratio was just 0.18 per cent).
Long-term, this means more money in your wallet.

Now a few words to the wise about USB OTG: (some things you might not realize, though these are not specific to GMB's product rather some things all people buying USB OTG devices should know (written for Y cables))
1) If you have done your research you probably know this, but devices supporting USB OTG will supply power to the attached USB device. This power comes directly from the phone when there isn't an attached power source on the USB OTG Y cable. On most new Android smartphones this is acceptable as they are supported out of the box via software (custom Kernels and stock and custom ROMs sometimes) and via robust hardware that allows power to be supplied out the same pins on IC boards that the power flows in normally when charging.
This draw across the IC board regulating the power can however be a problem. Normal draw from the USB attached device is rated at USB 2.0 standards. This means that your phone is capable of supplying 500mA @ 5V of power. However a higher draw can possibly brick your phone. If you decide to use OTG without the Female Y port powered, you will want to keep your attached devices within a single USB 2.0 spec power draw. HOWEVER, it has come to my attention (and I have personally experienced) that even staying in the acceptable range of power supply on some phones (Only 1 I have found) will cause the IC power board to "pop", hard bricking the phone. This can occur regardless of your Root, Kernel, and ROM. NOTE: I HAVE ONLY FOUND THIS TO BE A PROBLEM ON THE GALAXY S3 AND HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO REPRODUCE IT CONSISTENTLY, BUT THE FORUMS SHOW THAT IT OCCURS VERY RARELY (look on XDA:[...] for more info. Personally I haven't let this put me off as it seems to be a very rare issue). I have also tested various other Samsung Galaxy products, LG, Nexus, and HTC and have only noticed the issue with the GS3. My suspicion is that the IC power board on the GS3 is just not robust enough to handle consistently flipping from charging the phone to providing power and gets weaker over time (this is my personal conjecture but it aligns with some XDAs users beliefs as well). With warranty, my bricked phone was replaced within the week.
2) Next is the reason for some people not noticing charging on their phones. THIS IS NOT THE CABLE'S FAULT! For a device to see itself as charging, a MINIMUM of ~500mA @ 5V (USB 2.0) must be supplied to the smartphone. The Y nature of this cable means that it is splitting the current to the USB device and the smartphone. When you split the current of a 500mA @ 5V charger, both devices attempt to get 250mA @ 5V. This is NOT enough to trigger charging recognition by most devices. Assuming a few things, like that you are using both USB 2.0 spec devices, that means to power both devices and have the smartphone recognize charging, you need 1000mA (1A) to be supplied to the female micro USB port. Now this is where things get... interesting. By USB standards, High speed data transmission can only occur while the phone is getting 500mA. However there is a fast charge standard (Charging Downstream Port standards) that will allow charging currents up to 1500mA and change Voltage being used in data communication. This is all fine and dandy but the only thing is that your attached USB device might not like the higher currents or communications Voltage. (though I did not experience this problem, I am attempting to inform as much as possible from my understanding and experiences) Basically this all boils down to, If you want to use the USB OTG device AND charge your phone, make sure that your power supplied is not too small or too large for the devices attached, rather, just right.
3) Last, if your USB device isn't recognized, make sure it is formatted correctly, as most Android devices specify the format style to be specific (FAT seems most universal out of the box, but apps you can download can mount others). Consult the internet about this or how to format.
THIS IS A REVIEW AND NOT A TUTORIAL. I am not responsible for anything you do with your device. I merely wished to address 3 issues people have to make comprehensive and a quality review and also to educate people on OTG devices before they possibly incorrectly blame the cable being sold for problems.
1.) Dose YOUR device support otg function. Also more importantly dose it support otg function WHILE charging(my sheild did not support charging wile using otg function till a update, were the release notes stated it as a suported function).
2.)What type of usb device do you plan to use with the cable dose it have high power requirements if so will your tablet or phone get any power?
3.)When buying items from sellers other than amazon are they a reputable seller with good feed back or are you getting a knock off? I state this due to this is not sold from amazon at all and there are about 100 sellers with ruputations from 100% positive to 1%.
I bought these for exactly one reason: to be able to play B005IIZL1C KOTOR (not the Android version; but similar enough you'll know what I mean) on a Nexus 9 with an XBox controller.
This cable serves that purpose. The N9 charges while the controller functions. For $4 (now $3, I see), it was worth it just for that. I can't promise it'll work for you, and I can only say it worked for me in the one use case I needed. Still, it's cheap enough that I'd say you should consider taking the leap. The quality is OK, neither exceptional nor horrific.
This is a great product and seems to be built as well as any other micro USB cable I've seen for this price range.
Allows me to charge tablet as well as otg host devices pluged in to USB Hub.
Using this with Nexus 7 for in-car tablet hooked up to usb hub running behringer uca202 and usb rca video adapter.
If they ever wanted to design it to make it even better: 4-6" longer cord for tablet/device connection and 90 degree plug would both be a welcomed addition.

Daily briefs of the top news stories impacting Christians around the world. In today's edition:
- Organizations Prepare for National 'Day of Purity'
- Mainstream Political Leaders Denounce Attacks on Christian Minority
- Pro-Family Forces Urged to Join Campaign against Broadcast Profanity
- 14 Year Old Girl Kidnapped, Feared Raped, in Pakistan
Organizations Prepare for National 'Day of Purity'
Agape Press
Hundreds of individuals, organizations, and churches are answering a call to a national "Day of Purity" set for next month. The observance, scheduled for February 13, is being organized by Florida-based Liberty Counsel. Rena Lindevaldsen, national coordinator for the Day of Purity, says the event is a response to a culture that tells young people that sexual experimentation and exploration is healthy and normal. "We [felt that] we needed to do something to oppose that message that kids are receiving every single day," she says, "and we believe the national Day of Purity -- as one day where the kids unite together -- is a day where a message can be sent to administrators and to their legislatures throughout the country." Lindevaldsen says the message of purity is not only effective, but also practical. "We want this ... to be that one day where they all unite from all the different [abstinence-based] organizations and say 'We're here, and we want to be heard.'" Among other ways to observe the Day of Purity, students are being encouraged to hand out flyers promoting the biblical view of marriage and abstinence until marriage.
Mainstream Political Leaders Denounce Attacks on Christian Minority
Barnabas News Fund
A large number of Iraqi intellectuals and politicians have called upon Islamic religious leaders, the Iraqi Governing Council, other party leaders and the Coalition Authorities to prevent Shi'a Muslim groups attacking Christians. This call to stop attacks on Christians and cease forcing women to wear the veil, was published on Sunday 4 January on the Arabic website Elaph, by more than 200 mainly Muslim intellectuals and political leaders from Iraq. They specifically called upon Islamic religious leaders to issue fatwas forbidding such "atrocious crimes against humanity and the Islamic [sic] religion." The declaration said "horrific" crimes had been committed against women in forcing them to wear the veil, but worst of all was the "terrorising of our Christian brothers," intimidating them to become Muslims. It drew attention to the fact that Christians had lived in Iraq for two thousand years and had contributed greatly to the region's civilisation, both before and after the coming of Islam. Shi'a militant groups which bear names such as God's Vengeance and Hezbollah have been subjecting the Christian community in Iraq to a relentless series of attacks. These bold calls by over 200 key Iraqi intellectual and political figures are a welcome move for the country's Christians, acknowledging the problems they are facing and calling for change.
Pro-Family Forces Urged to Join Campaign against Broadcast Profanity
Allie Martin, Agape Press
A Christian e-mail campaign is encouraging pro-family activists to throw their support behind the efforts of a California congressman who is trying to ban expletives on television and radio. OneMillionMoms.com, an Internet campaign sponsored by the American Family Association, is asking pro-family activists to e-mail their congressmen and senators and urge them to support a bill by Representative Doug Ose. H.R. 3687 would ban eight profane words or phrases from radio and television. The bill also would punish broadcasters who air any form of the obscene words or phrases. AFA executive assistant Buddy Smith says such legislation is needed. "The use of these words on network television and radio…would just further add to the coarsening of our society," Smith says. Although many people feel helpless against the tide of media filth, Smith says concerned Christians need to speak out against the constant lowering of standards. "We've got to engage our culture with godly standards," Smith says, "and I think an opportunity such as the one we are facing here is a call to make a difference, to take a stand and represent the Lord and his people." The House Subcommittee on Telecommunications has scheduled a hearing on the matter of H.R. 3687.
14 Year Old Girl Kidnapped, Feared Raped, in Pakistan
Voice of the Martyrs
Young Christian girls in Pakistan are often abducted and raped. They are a powerless minority without real rights or recourse for crimes committed against them by Muslim men. They are often abducted and forcibly "married." Shamim Kausor daughter of Afzal Masih was a resident of a village, (their family is one of only 2 Christian families in the Muslim village) was abducted (for the second time) on 12/31/03. Her sisters saw a jeep pull up outside their home-several men jumped out and abducted her at gunpoint. Several neighbors recognized one of the kidnappers. He had previously abducted the young girl a few months ago but prompt action from the father and the police led to her rescue. The Father tried to initiate legal proceedings against the man but was strongly dissuaded by Muslim village leaders. The kidnapper taunted and threatened Shamim after the first abduction. At one point he said "A beautiful girl like you should not remain Christian. I will make you Muslim and you will bear a Muslim child." The police are not interested in helping the Father this time around.

So far loving my car...
By lilmiss34 on
Vehicle2011 Nissan Altima 2.5 S 4dr Sedan (2.5L 4cyl CVT)
ReviewI have had this car for just over a month and have over 1300 miles on it and thus far have had no issues.
I drive highway about 60% of the time and between highway and city I am averaging about 26-30MPG.
Came from a V-6 Honda Accord Coupe which took some getting used to with the change in HP, but this Altima has got some good power to it for a 4-cyl. If you can do it, get the Bose sound system, difference between that and the standard radio is very noticeable.
The rear camera is very helpful too.
Only tire noise I have noticed is on older highways, not an issue with the radio on low.
Also, check your ins company for GAP coverage, it is hugely cheaper than the one the dealership offers!
Best FeaturesComfortable and quiet ride, reactive steering, Bose sound system, sportier looking than most sedans

svchost command prompt on login
Whenever I log in, I see a command prompt for install\svchost.exe pop up and run for a few seconds before disappearing. This did not happen in the past and I don't remember making any changes to the system recently. This appears to have no noticeable effects on the system. What is this and why did it start happening? Is it anything to worry about?
