3.162642 | 4.944568 | 2 | Best First Minimax Search: First Results Richard Korf and David
Chickering We present a very simple selective minimax search
algorithm for two-player games. It always expands next the
frontier node at the end of the principal variation, or current
best line of play, which is the node that determines the minimax
value of the root. The algorithm requires no information other
than a static evaluation function, and its time overhead per
node is similar to that of alpha-beta minimax. On random game
trees, our algorithm outperforms an efficient implementation of
alpha-beta, giving both the same amount of computation. In the
game of Othello, using the evaluation function from Bill, the
world’s best program, best-first minimax also outplays alpha-
beta. We present an implementation of the algorithm that reduces
its space complexity from exponential to linear in the search
depth, at the cost of increased time complexity. Finally, we

encyclopedia (Redirected from Primate basal ganglia) Jump to:
navigation, search The basal ganglia form a major brain system
in all species of vertebrates, but the basal ganglia of primates
(including humans) have special features that justify a separate
consideration. As in other vertebrates, the primate basal
ganglia can be divided into striatal, pallidal, nigral, and
subthalamic components. In primates, however, the two pallidal
subdivisions are called the external and internal (or sometimes
lateral and medial) segments of the globus pallidus, whereas in
other species they are called the globus pallidus and
entopeduncular nucleus. Also in primates, the striatum is
divided by a large tract of white matter called the internal
capsule into two masses of gray matter that early anatomists
named the caudate nucleus and putamen—in most other species no
such division exists, and only the striatum as a whole is
recognized. Beyond this, the complex topography |

in a 401k isn't for everyone. 1. You don’t have a personal

expenses. Experts say you should have at least 3-6 months saved
in case of an emergency, but more and more people are moving
toward 6-9 months as the benchmark. You need to have liquid,
readily available cash to cover expenses if you lose your job or

strains of yeast naturally present in certain parts of the human
body and these strains do not pose a threat unless they start to
multiply. The most commonly discussed yeast infection, one that
causes much discomfort, is the vaginal yeast infection. The best
way to avoid these kinds of infections is to have a basic idea
of what causes them. Following are some of the most common
causes of yeast infections. Hormonal Imbalance - Women who are
suffering from a hormonal imbalance are more susceptible to
yeast infections. There are numerous reasons that can cause
hormonal changes in women. It is thought that high levels of
estrogen in the body can give rise to yeast infections. Such a
spike in estrogen and hormonal fluctuations is common when a
woman is ovulating. Women using birth control pills or other
hormonal therapy might have a spike in their estrogen levels,

Indiana joins Maryland, Georgetown, and Friday's opponent
Creighton in the 2012 NCAA College Cup, college soccer's Final
Four. Here's the first of a two-part preview. Let's make no
bones about it. Indiana has recorded a rare and impressive feat
of beating two very good teams on the road to get to the College
Cup. Notre Dame possessed the first seed overall, but a legion
of Hoosier fans invaded their stadium and made it a friendly one
for the Hoosiers. IU took it to the Irish, and were the
aggressor on the way to a well-deserved win. The game at UNC was
a different story. North Carolina's team was still the defending
champions, had a long unbeaten streak at home, and frankly
played Indiana quite well, giving themselves multiple chances to
win or send the game to OT, at least. But the Tarheels didn't

you pay the price She'll let you deep inside But there's a
secret garden she hides She'll let you in her car To go drivin'
'round She'll let you into the parts of herself That'll bring
you down She'll let you in her heart If you got a hammer and a

a million miles How far'd you get sponsored links To that place
where you can't remember And you can't forget She'll lead you
down a path There'll be tenderness in the air She'll let you

Winning isn't everything. That appears to be the belief at ESPN,

Woods finished 44th in last week's golf tournament at Torrey
Pines. Not exactly a great result, but apparently not bad enough
to prevent a player who has not won in over a year from getting
more coverage from the world wide leader during the weekend than
the winner, young phenom Bubba Watson, and the second place
finisher Phil Mickelson (a hugely successful golfer in his own

these days. Even when Woods is out of contention almost every
shot of his is shown, everything he does on and off the course

odd little revelation from the run-up to the trial of accused
terrorist plotters Ahmed Ferhani and Mohamed Mamdouh: The NYPD
had an undercover officer planted at a demonstration showing
support for Cordoba House, the so-called "Ground Zero Mosque."
That fact—which is no less disappointing for being
unsurprising—is occluded somewhat by the circumstances of its
disclosure, which are complicated. Apparently one of the lawyers
in the Ferhani/Mamdouh case either represented or provided legal
advice to the undercover officer at the protest ("UC 242")...
who also happens to be "the lead undercover cop" in the
Ferhani/Mamdouh case. (Weirder still: It seems as though the
legal issue over which UC 242 approached the lawyer was a

2.693197 | 5.80611 | 2 | My Microsoft Points Buying Strategy I’ve owned an XBox 360 for
nearly a year and I’ve never once purchased anything in the XBox
Live Marketplace because there was never anything I really
wanted – until I bought Rock Band. With the music games like
Rock Band and Guitar Hero, the producers are releasing new songs
via the XBox Live Marketplace and, if my memory serves me right,
Rock Band songs cost 160 Microsoft Points a piece (they also
bundle them in packs of 3 for 440 MS Points). The math on how
much a Microsoft Point is worth in the retail market works out
to be 1.25 cents per point in the US, with prices slightly
higher abroad (not on purpose there, it’s just exchange rates).
You can get them slightly cheaper elsewhere and so you never
want to pay retail price for points. There is always a cheaper
alternative, unless you absolutely have to have points right
now. My goal is to pay, at most, a penny per point, and often
times you can get them for even less if you’re willing to look.

and it altered the face of computing as we know it. You may
be of the opinion that all that ever happened in the past was
Apple and IBM, but not so, not in the UK at least. Before 1980
most personal computers in use in the US were S100-based modular
machines - big, complicated and expensive. The newer breed of
all-in-one machines such as the PET, the Tandy TRS80, and the
Apple II were just becoming available but even these budget
machines, which must have appeared an unbelievable bargain in
the US, seemed far to pricey for the average UK user. To put

what a company does, it just can't get any respect. In a recent
article by fellow fool Sean Williams, he pointed out that BB&T
(NYSE: BBT) stock looked to be richly valued. Short-sellers have
been increasing their positions as of late and the thought was
if BB&T didn't end up merging with BankAtlantic Bancorp, that
investors could be in for some losses. He did give credit to
BB&T for surviving “the credit crisis in better shape than most
banks”. However, he pointed out that BB&T's growth seemed to
have, “stalled out even three years after the height of the
crisis.” While I agree the BankAtlantic deal has some
challenges, I want to examine his claims that BB&T's growth had
stalled out recently. Unless you live on the eastern seaboard,

terrorist attack occurs. But listening to your child’s questions
and providing simple answers is vital to managing his curiosity
and fears. “The key for me is 'need to know,’” says Jeffrey
Dolgan, Ph.D., senior psychologist in behavioral health at
Children's Hospital Colorado. “You don’t want to over-talk or
over-provide. The kids will tune out anyway. What you have to do
is to get on their level and find out what their questions are.”
Here are some tips on how to help your child understand a tragic
event. Don’t over-explain. If your child asks what a tsunami
is, tell him it’s a big wave |

bloggers to her show today because she thinks it's scary the
nation might elect a president who doesn't know how to read them
and also probably because the more topical subject of complex
financial shenanigans is not her specialty, oh wait just
kidding. Personally I have always thought not being addicted to
the internet was John McCain's most attractive quality since
being tortured, but it raises a good point: I do not want

spent many years in Africa, invented the game in the early 1970s
using her baby brother’s building blocks. Her friends and family
enjoyed the game so much, they urged her to sell it in the

the game and began importing it to North America. Jenga is now

On June 5th, a Texan newlywed couple was killed in a car crash.
Authorities just released new information yesterday that the
couple was texting each other during the wreck that landed both
vehicles in a ditch. The ironic part is that they were driving
to meet each other. The ill-fated couple was identified as
Christina Munoz, 26, and Nicolas Cruz, 31. As the couple was
approaching each other from opposite directions, something
happened and Munoz apparently lost control of the car. Her 1999

$$\sum_{k=1}^N\frac{k^a}{(k+1)^a+(k+2)^a}\le\frac{N}{2}$$
share|improve this question I don't know if this one is
appropiate on this site. As $\frac{1}{N} \cdot \sum_{k=1}^N
\dots $ converges to $\frac{1}{2}$ you could show that it is
monotone increasing and you are done – Dominic Michaelis May 21

prove such inequalities. – JD Vlok May 21 at 14:11 add comment

\frac{k^a}{(k+1)^a+(k+2)^a}<\frac{k^a}{k^a+k^a}=\frac{1}{2}$

papAmerican diplomats appeared pleased with Saudi Arabia's new
strategy to control editors and journalists, according to a

shadowy mechanisms of censorship in the ultra-conservative
kingdom. The May 11, 2009, diplomatic cable titled "Ideological

the government seemed to be opening up to a certain amount of
foreign cultural influence in the form of Hollywood movies and
