Online poker gambling at casinos and poker rooms is one of
the fastest growing forms of wagering on the Internet. Fueled by the
televised tournaments seen on Travel Channel's World Poker Tour, ESPN with
the 2004 World Series of Poker (WSOP), and Bravo's Celebrity Poker, the
popularity of the game is seen everywhere. A huge number of the qualifiers
for the 2004 WSOP gained their entries from playing in online satellite
tournaments for a fraction of the large entry fees paid by others. Look
for more players to enter 2008 world series of poker satellite tournaments
for this reason.
Tournaments at land based casinos are becoming so popular
that people are being turned away, with waits at some lasting two hours to
get a table on the weekends. Smaller land based casinos are promoting
poker tournaments in order to capitalize on the growing trend of the game.
Even though the cut for the house is pretty slim, they report increasing
revenues by the number of patrons who play other games, buy drinks and
food. It is also allowing them to attract new players which are mostly
twentysomethings and women which expands their customer base.
It seems that most of the upcoming poker stars are a lot
younger than in the past. This is because the years of experience formally
gained at the brick and mortar poker rooms is compressed into months when
playing online. College students watching Texas Hold'Em poker on TV have
taken to playing at crowded tables on campus or online where they can take
advantage of the 24/7 availability of other players when they can. One
college student stated that "Being able to lie (bluff) and get away with
it is exciting when you know the hand you have is inferior to the one your
opponents have." Plus being able to play for free is also a nice way to
learn the game which is a feature that most poker rooms on the Net offer.
Learning the game is also becoming easier with free
lessons at brick and mortar casinos and also The Travel Channel featuring
review and analysis of poker hands on Wednesdays through it's WPT Poker
Corner. Viewers will learn more in-depth about what they did not see.
Discussions will go over the tells, the big mistakes, and the bluffing
made by others players. This is an excellent way to learn how to improve
one's game.
With the huge piles of money that people can win, more and
more are getting into the game of poker. The 2008 WSOP championship for
next year will boast a $6,000,000 first place prize and anyone making the
final table will be a millionaire. The 2004 WSOP winner turned a $160
buy-in satellite shootout into a massive $5,000,000 check and so many
endorsements he quit his job as an patent attorney. Visit our sister site
to learn more about the
2008 World Series of Poker .

gambling, World Series of Poker and World Poker Tour events and updates.

Federal Diary
Federal Diary: New boss moves quickly to change sluggish Patent Office
You know things are bad at a government agency when a Cabinet secretary says as much while swearing in the new boss. It happened at the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office in August, when Commerce Secretary Gary Locke showed up to swear in the new director, David Kappos, and told the rank-and-file that the agency's backlog had a negative impact on the country's economic competitiveness.
Even Kappos's official biography mentions the agency's woes, noting that the PTO has a backlog of more than 770,000 patent applications, "long waiting periods for patent review, information technology systems that are regarded as outdated and an application process in need of reform."
Kappos arrived at the patent office as a former customer of the agency. He previously served as vice president and assistant general counsel for intellectual property at IBM, managing the company's patent and trademark portfolios. He's earned early credit from colleagues, union leaders and agency veterans for quickly addressing several issues of concern.
The most pressing matter is the length of time it takes the agency to approve -- or deny -- a patent application. It takes more than three years in many cases to get a final answer.
"Imagine in the commercial world any service provider where if you sent the service provider money and a request for service and they said, 'Thanks, we'll get back to you in three years.' You'd say that's insane, unacceptable," Kappos said in a recent interview.
Beyond the lag time, observers agree that the agency is in dire need of modernization and a morale boost. The economic downturn also means fewer inventors and corporations are paying patent application fees, which is the agency's only funding source.
But the PTO took an encouraging step Friday, when patent examiners approved changes that help determine how long they have to complete patent examinations and the incentives they earn. Kappos got the ball rolling shortly after he arrived by getting agency officials and union representatives into a room to draft changes to the "count system" for the first time in more than 30 years.
"I locked the door and said, 'I want a new system that does no harm to our employees, that gives examiners more time to do their work, that incentivizes parts of the process early in the process,' " he said. Kappos also promised to meet with negotiators every week while they worked on the changes and mandated an Oct. 1 deadline. Then, he said, he walked out of the room.
"It's Management 101, it's how it works in the real world and that's what I'm doing here at the U.S. PTO," he said.
"This, I think, went beyond what we'd normally do in a negotiation," said Robert Budens, president of the Patent Office Professional Association, which represents patent examiners.
"It's a different kind of paradigm for us, and one that I hope bodes well for the future for the relationship between the union and the agency," he said.
Todd Dickinson, former director of the PTO and current president of the American Intellectual Property Law Association, said Kappos "not only comes with a lot of good will, but his early steps have been very sure-footed on just exactly the kinds of things the [intellectual property] community wants to see."
His transition to public service wasn't as sure-footed, because Kappos said the slow, deliberative process of governing was new to him.
"It's got to move at a speed where the public can have input, and that means checks and balances, and things that move more slowly than in the private sector," he said.
"I wouldn't say it's been a frustration or an impediment," he continued. "I'd say it's making sure I get good advice and staying with the team and learning the rhythm that government works at."
But that outside perspective means Kappos "is kind of like a consumer going in there to help out," said Jeffrey A. Lindeman, a former PTO employee now working as a patent attorney with O'Brien Jones in McLean.
"We're all looking forward to what he's going to do," Lindeman said.
Keep ideas coming
Think federal employees don't care about saving taxpayers money? Think again: The Office of Management and Budget received 38,484 cost-saving ideas for its first-ever SAVE Awards. The winner gets a meeting with President Obama and their idea included in the proposed fiscal 2011 federal budget. The White House launched a similar contest on Monday, in hopes of getting the rank-and-file's ideas on reducing the government's environmental footprint.
Federal workers can register and submit ideas for the GreenGov Challenge at http:/
Meanwhile, the Office of Personnel Management hopes federal employees will start worrying about their waistlines. The agency will launch its Feds Get Fit program on Oct. 27 on the National Mall. Similar events will be held for federal workers in Atlanta, Baltimore, Chicago, New Orleans, Minneapolis, Pittsburgh and St. Louis. In Washington, Redskins defensive tackle Lorenzo Alexander and other athletes will share tips on healthy living. Perhaps federal employees can give Lorenzo some tips on how to win a football game?
Learn more about the new initiative at FedsGetFit.gov.

Finally the fans have their answer. For the past couple years, one of the questions that always turned up during Marvel convention panels was regarding the status of Ultimate Wolverine vs. Hulk. The mini-series, written by Lost producer Damon Lindelof and drawn by Leinil Francis Yu, was an instant hit, not doubt due in part to the fact that Wolverine is ripped in half at the end of the first issue.
But the readers never saw the conclusion of the series. After the second installment, the scripts stopped coming in and the series was delayed indefinitely. Each convention, fans would ask about the series and Marvel Editor-in-Chief Joe Quesada was typically unable to provide updates. The standard answer was that they were waiting for all the scripts to be turned in, and that Leinil Yu could then begin work on the art (after Secret Invasion was finished).
This evening, during its Ultimate Universe panel, Quesada got his wish. When wondering about the status of the mini-series, Damon Lindelof walked into the room, holding the finished script. He apologized for the delays and said he'd be "eating s**t" in the hall outside. He mentioned he thought it would only take a few weeks.
The title of the sixth issue, as written by Lindelof, is: "The One That Took Two Years To F***king Write." Whether Marvel keeps that title for print remains to be seen.
So there you go fans, things are slowly rolling on one of the most delayed series in the industry. As soon as Leinil Yu is done with his Invasion work, the last few issues of the clash between the Hulk and Wolverine will finally become a reality.

State College Spikes Open Season Monday Night in Williamsport
The State College Spikes open their seventh season Monday night in Williamsport, but it could be their last as an affiliate of the Pittsburgh Pirates.
The team has said it will not negotiate a player development contract extension with the Pirates during the season, meaning come September, the team may be looking at a new club affiliate.
But that means little to the current roster of Spikes, many of whom are playing professional baseball for the first time.
Sunday, the Spikes held their media day at Medlar Field at Lubrano Park, two days before the 7:05 p.m. home opener against Williamsport, the Class A short-season affiliate of the Philadelphia Phillies.
New Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft rules pushed up the signing deadline to mid-July, which could mean more high draft picks being imported to State College.
The Pirates first-round supplemental draft pick, Barrett Barnes, an outfielder from Texas Tech, is in State College. Top Phillies draft choices from 2011, Larry Greene and Roman Quinn, are in uniform for Williamsport.
The Spikes went 31-44 last season but have a mix of players from the Gulf Coast League, the MLB First-Year Player Draft to mesh with returning talent.
"It's all good," first-year Spikes manager Dave Turgeon said. "I like the combination with guys that are familiar with the league already. The other thing they bring is they're out to prove something. This might be it. They've got to prove they can do this or not. New arrivals always bring energy. New arrivals that have college experience bring stability."
Creasy to Start Season Opener
Right-hander Jason Creasy, an eighth-round draft choice in 2011, will get the opening day start for the Spikes on Monday. Expect him to be on a pitch count around 60, he said.
"[The arm] feels really good," he said. "Ready to get out and start games."

They told me that one will be in the showroom within two weeks. There were quite a lot of exhibitions regarding EV's. There was also a Chevrolet Bolt. Could not sit in it but it looked quite nice from the outside. There was a bit of resemblance to the BMW I3 if you ask me. Test drove a Nissan Leaf. Well, it is OK but it did not make me give me a warm and fuzzy feeling. I know it is in a different category but I miss the power of the Tesla in it.

The all-new Halo Interactive Strategy Game captures the edge-of-your-seat action and storyline of the video game as it gives players the chance to control UNSC Marine and Covenant forces in strategic battles for power.
"Halo is one of the most recognizable and successful video game franchise of all time and boasts a tremendous worldwide presence that continues to grow," said Trevor Drinkwater, President and CEO of Genius Products. "Fans of all ages are going to love this extension of the popular brand that offers endless game play.

In the game, players will command armies of three-dimensional collectible character pieces for two different levels of play: Heroic for faster, more casual game play and Legendary for more strategic advanced gamers. Fans can follow storylines that expand the Halo experience in Campaign mode or go head-to-head in interactive battle sequences with Slayer or Capture the Flag modes. The battle options are endless with future add-ons of new adventures, vehicles, characters and weapons to expand the experience.
Hitting retail this September, the Halo Interactive Strategy Game, suitable for ages 10+, brings the Halo universe to a broader audience with its family-friendly features.

Stubborn Problems In the South in the late 1800's there were many problems, with progress came these problems.
Most railroads were heavily in debt. Many railroads raised money by issuing bonds. These Bonds were certificates that earn interest and are redeemed on a certain date. They also sold stock certificates, which shares the ownership of a company. This system of financing would be used in many other industries. What many company's did to make their stock certificates more desirable (because often they had little value) companies would exaggerate their assets, which is their equipment, property and cash. These tickets became known as "watered stock"ÃÂ in reference to ranchers having their cattle drink water before being weighed for sale.
With all the ruthless competition the burden of large debt was complicated with heavy competition. Some railroads would have "ÃÂrate wars"ÃÂ which is when rival railroads drop their rates to be less than their competition and it would go back and forth even if they were running or operating at a loss.
Running at a loss was better than not running at all.
As the competition grew more, some companies adopted illegal practices. To attract more business some companies secretly offered rebates to some of their best shippers. A rebate was a discount on the normal shipping charge. The reason rebates were illegal is because they were not offered to everyone, this hurt mainly farmers along the rail line.
Sometimes companies entered in a pooling arrangement that promised not to cut prices as well as assuring each other a certain portion of the freight so that they all could stay in business.
After all this bribery and pooling and many other scandal's, the nationwide rail system would come together through new communication and transportation which would bound our nation together. They say time heals all wounds.

CDOT kept æshortcutÆ on public maps for months after idea had been rejected
Engineers and consultants with the Colorado Department of Transporta-tion (CDOT) studied a citizen-proposed ōshortcutö around the 21st Street/ Highway 24
intersection and found it ōsimply does not provide enough time or distance savings to move trips away from US 24,ö according to a letter this week to the Westside
Pioneer from Bob Mora, project manager for the Westside Highway 24 planning process.
In a follow-up phone interview, Mora said the study took place ōin June or July.ö
Despite the negative findings at that time, the shortcut remained on all CDOT project-option maps until mid-December and was displayed as such to hundreds of citizens at numerous gatherings, including the CDOT open house in September, several Working Group meetings, numerous CDOT small-group presentations and a City Council meeting.
Asked why this was, Mora said that his team wanted to show an intent to have some kind of road connection in that area (through the undeveloped Gold Hill Mesa property west of Highway 24), and ōwe kept it that way since we didn't have (Gold Hill Mesa developer Bob) Willard's modelö for his road. Willard did provide this model at the Dec. 13 Working Group meeting, which was attended by CDOT team members and area elected, business and civic leaders.
The citizen-proposed road was to be a fairly straight four-lane road between 14th or 15th Street and Broadway Street south of 21st Street. Willard's plan, similar to a concept plan approved by City Council for his 210-acre property in 2004, is far less conducive to a shortcut, with two lanes instead of four, several cross streets and three right-angle turns with traffic circles.
Mora, who was not at the Dec. 13 meeting, indicated he did not think that CDOT has acted incorrectly. However, State Rep. Michael Merrifield, whose district includes that area, reiterated this week previously stated criticism of the Westside Highway 24 planning effort in general. He added his hope that the state's current CDOT Director, Tom Norton, will be replaced in the near future, allowing the Highway 24 effort to be ōre-evaluated.ö
CDOT's revelation about the shortcut was not well-received by local neighborhood groups that have been involved in the planning process. Jim Armstrong of the Skyway Association, noting that the option maps showed the proposed road in the same color code as highway segments that CDOT expects to construct, told a CDOT consultant at the Dec. 13 meeting that he believed citizens had been ōmisled.ö And, in a recent interview, Welling Clark, president of the Organization of Westside Neighbors (OWN), termed the state's action on the shortcut a ōbait and switchö maneuver that he would like OWN to follow up on.
The shortcut is a key part of the ōWestsiders' Plan,ö a lower-impact Highway 24 upgrade that was hammered out by representatives of the Pioneer and OWN and submitted to the state last spring. By taking traffic away from the 21st/24 intersection, the thinking went, it could remain an at-grade intersection and potentially alleviate - or prevent altogether - the state-anticipated removal of homes and businesses in the vicinity. Also, proponents believed that if additional land had to be used for the shortcut, it made more sense to employ land that was not yet built on.
However, according to Mora's letter, the state study found that a four-lane continuous Broadway extension "attracts less than 1 percent of the US 24 peak hour trips."
Such a low percentage means that an at-grade intersection at Highway 24 and 21st, even with triple left turns, would only grade out at a level "E," according to a traffic engineering standard in which "F" is the lowest possible and "D" is the city's minimal requirement. In addition, it was explained at the Dec. 13 meeting, such an intersection would take up as much space as a full interchange, thus meaning the same loss of homes and businesses. As a result, CDOT team members expressed an informal preference for an interchange at the meeting (as reported in the Dec. 14 Westside Pioneer).
No new meetings are currently scheduled on Highway 24, except for a Jan. 18 meeting of the Midland Greenway Advisory Committee, which is discussing beautification aspects of the highway corridor expansion (see article).

On May 19, 2015, near Refugio State Beach, thousands of gallons of oil leaked from a pipeline fed by offshore platforms in the Santa Barbara Channel. Within hours, UC Santa Barbara's David Valentine and volunteers from his lab were on site collecting samples. Valentine, a professor in UCSB's Department of Earth Science, and several colleagues who have long used Refugio as a living laboratory, see the oil spill as an opportunity to understand how marine ecosystems respond to disturbance. Now, with a $588,000 grant from the Simons Foundation, the researchers will continue to study the area for the next year.

Message From World President, Prof. Yip-Hong Ho
Dear International College of Surgeons Fellows:
At this wonderful time of the year, we are all are filled with hope for the world and all persons therein. The circumstances around us may remain difficult with problem issues including a slow global economy, violence, and climate warming. Despite these challenges, it is a most exciting time to be a Fellow in the International College of Surgeons. I take this opportunity to send this brief Holiday message to you, as I complete the first year of my two year World Presidency term.
This year, we celebrate the 80th Anniversary of the International College of Surgeons founded by Dr. Max Thorek – the College was officially incorporated 80 years ago. In a time when many other International or global medical organizations have since failed, our College has survived and continues onward into the future. Think about this for a moment – how many of us have had the opportunity to celebrate the 80th anniversary of anything in our lives. We should be very thankful indeed for all the ICS Fellows who have preceded us and the stewardship that they have rendered, so that we can continue to strive towards our vision to "improve the lives of patients through the development and education of our members and advancement of the medical field".
As we enter calendar 2016, we have a well performing International Museum of Surgical Science, a rapidly improving Journal, International Surgery, and a global membership that has held steady for the past 10 years, and continues to do so.
We stand tall and proud of our resilience; time and again in the history our College, our principles and values have risen above all manner of adversities. We recognize that our membership is currently better served by quality regional meetings, rather than having everyone travel long distances to participate in a single International meeting. Very successful Federation meetings were held in Paraguay, Prague & Pilsen (Extraordinary Jubilee World Congress), and Manila. We recognize that we are what we are today because of the very significant contributions of our Fellows, many of whom have not been appropriately recognized to date. Therefore, the prestigious Emeritus Fellowship has been recently revived; we are pleased that worthy recipients to date have been Prof. Paul Hahnloser, Prof. Angel Vannelli, and Dr. Carmencita Gotauco. Prof. Ken Takasaki will be officially conferred with the Emeritus Fellowship at the 40th Biennial World Congress in Kyoto in 2016. We recognize the real need to sell the building at 1516 North Lake Shore Drive and have proceeded to list the property on the market with the support of the International Board of Governors as well as the co-owning United States National Section. The property has incurred major natural wear and tear issues over the passage of time. We need to be relieved of the burden of very significant maintenance, as well as the very real threat of related legal liabilities so that we can focus our resources on preserving our heritage at 1524 North Lake Shore Drive Museum Building and on preparing the College for a continuing, enduring future.
We look forward to a great year in 2016. We have many good things on our horizon, starting with an exciting meeting scheduled in Lima, Peru, in February in reference to humanitarian surgery. Another humanitarian surgery meeting and the site visit to the ICS Humanitarian Surgery Project will likely be held in Ambon, Indonesia, in April. The new Fellows in Poland are actively recruiting membership and an inaugural meeting to commemorate incorporation of the ICS Poland National Section will likely be held in June. At the same time, interest in ICS is growing in Korea and plans are in consideration for an inaugural meeting of the ICS Korean National Section in September, if forming such a section in an important country comes to fruition. I would like to thank everyone who expressed interest in teaching at the Nanjing Minimally Invasive Surgery laboratory. I am pleased to advise that Dr. Patrick Chen has taken the lead in working with Prof. Yue Ming Sun to organize the first of these teaching sessions as soon as possible. In addition, Prof. George Tsoulfas, who was appointed Chairman of the Special International Committee on Clinical Placements by the International Executive Council, has embraced this role enthusiastically. I look forward to seeing the first of these international trainee clinical attachments in the coming year. And of course, the 40th Biennial ICS World Congress will be held in Kyoto, Japan, in October 2016 after which I look forward to handing over the reins to my good friend, the very capable Prof. Manuel Huaman a few months later. I thank each and every one of you for your Fellowship in the International College of Surgeons and look forward to entering 2016 with you in a spirit of commitment and enthusiasm.
May I wish you and your families a very Merry Christmas and a very happy New Year.
Best Regards,
Professor Yik-Hong Ho
World President

My son wants to install an older version of Sims Town on his new Windows PC and the setup program is asking me if I want to install DirectX or abort the install if I already have DirectX installed. I don't even know what DirectX is let alone WHERE to find the version information. How can I find what version is installed on my PC?
Fortunately for you and your son, DirectX is installed and there is an easy way to check the version.
- Click Start
- On XP Click Run and type dxdiag.exe
- On Vista type dxdiag.exe in the search box and click on dcdiag.exe in the search results
NOTE: If Windows cannot find the dxdiag program, an earlier version of DirectX may be installed and should be upgraded to the latest version.

Austin goes in for the smooch.
Love is in the air—at least for Austin.
This pro-wrestling Romeo is quickly falling for the Florida beach babe; unfortunately, she doesn't feel the same way. That's why it was hard not to cringe when the bearded giant went in for a kiss after the pair's bedroom tickle fight.
Sorry, Judas, but this little showmance might be more "show" than you think.

Where Is God's Word? features Bruce Musselman's teaching and insights on the Bible, its history, and a defense of the King James Version of the Bible.
By Bruce Musselman
A young Christian believer while talking to a Baptist preacher expressed his doubts as to whether a certain verse should be in the Bible. This question in the young believer's mind is not an isolated occurrence since the authorized King James Bible is being attacked daily by Roman Catholics, Jehovah Witnesses, Mormons, Modernists, Evangelicals and Fundamentalists.
In fact, it is almost a daily occurrence in most Evangelical and Fundamental schools in America.
The average Christian is given a King James Bible and told it is the Word of God. From then on he hears a steady stream of criticism of it through the radio, Christian books, magazines, in church and in Christian schools.
Anyone professing to have an ounce of education and who claims to be Godly and dedicated now assumes the right to correct the Bible any time it doesn't measure up to his beliefs and standards.
The King James Bible is corrected by saying 'the Original says' when no one has the Original. It is also corrected by saying 'the Greek says' when there are a dozen conflicting Greek texts on the market. Others say 'this is an unfortunate translation' or 'a better reading' is' when they don't know enough about Greek or manuscript evidence to know what they are talking about.
Before a Christian starts to think or talk like a Jehovah Witness on visitation he ought to consider the following facts...

The Science Behind Easy Sex: Whether you're looking for a long term relationship, a one night stand, or maybe something ongoing but totally casual and no strings attached, we've got you covered.
Studies have shown that when it comes to casual sex, there is no method more successful than adult dating sites. In fact, according to a study by the Association for Psychological Science, online dating is now among the most common ways for couples to meet -- second only to meeting through friends. And when it comes to sex hookups, adult online dating is the clear winner. You may think that you could never find the love of your life on a hookup site like this, but you'd be surprised. According to a study by Rochester University, if you're relying on the "scientific matching" algorithms of the big, swaddled-in-romance dating sites, you're not doing yourself any favors. In fact, the most effective matching method is still physical attraction.
Studies have proven that if your marriage started with a casual encounter you are much less likely to get divorced than someone who went about it the old-fashioned way. Studies also show that those in relationships that initiated from a sex hookup are less likely to report dissatisfaction in the relationship. Given that one of the most commonly reported relationship problems is sex, it makes sense that those couples who start with a bang don't tend to fizzle out as fast OR as often. Deciding if you want to have sex with a prospective mate takes an average of three seconds Deciding if you want to be in a relationship with someone takes exponentially longer.
Why not start with the fun part? Try A New Approach To Adult Dating Maybe you've tried online dating before and lucked out, or maybe you've never ventured into the bright new world of internet dating. Either way, you've never experienced dating like EasySex. We make dating fun again! Forget about misinterpretations, rejections, and flake outs! At Easy Sex, our expansive membership is growing daily, so you'll never run out of new and exciting locals to meet. And since we're all here for naughty fun, there are no awkward mixups or mismatched intentions!
We've scrapped the standard online dating site model to create a hookup site that actually works for you! We'll never ask you to fill out hundreds of probing personal questions like the other guys, because we know it makes no difference to your hookup success and we've got the science behind us. Instead, we encourage you to let your animal instincts take over. We let you search for singles based on what you really want Just come and take a look and see what you've been missing. Of course, there are so many other aspects of a person that add up to make them hot or not, but generally, if you're diminishing the importance of appearance, chances are you're settling for something you don't want.
At Easy Sex, we don't want you to settle, ever! Physical attraction is fundamental in successful matchings, and why shouldn't it be? And with so many members, and new ones joining every day, you're bound to find exactly your physical type - AND they'll be on the same hookup page.
