» Neural networks and US Football (NFL, NCAA)
I have a theory that neural network programs can be used to efficiently forecast football outcomes using historical data. Efficient is >= 60%. Question: What persons, or companies, in North America, can build such a network and test such a theory for me? 2.And at what fixed cost? Previous experience with the specific sport (either pro or college) is preferred.Hi! Would you like the suggestion below about academic experts in neural networks? I can provide you a list of such experts with contact information. You can just contact them if they would like to take on the job and ask how much it will cost you? Usually in projects like these, consultants do not peg a specific amount since different problems will constitute varying workloads....... - 2009-07-04
» How much will it cost to repair my LG Shine?
My LG Shine has water damaged. And it got damaged in less than a month. Since my upgrade isn't till 2 years more, i wanted to know how much it would cost to repair my phone.my husband's lg shine screen cracked and doesn't work at all now. we only had it for a couple of weeks. we don't have insurance but there was supposed to be a 90 day warranty. of course they said that kind of damage wasn't covered under the 90 day warranty, so they said we had to buy another phone.

» National Influenza Vaccine Summit
Flu experts try to ensure record vaccine doses get used Maryn McKenna Contributing Writer May 13, 2008 – ATLANTA (CIDRAP News) – Manufacturers of influenza vaccine are poised to deliver record quantities of flu shots for the coming season. But unless medicine and public health officials find new methods and venues for getting those shots into the arms of Americans, another record may also fall: the number of influenza-vaccine doses that go unused. The need to expand flu-vaccine use—to protect Americans' health, and also to preserve vaccine manufacturing capacity that would be needed during an influenza pandemic—topped the agenda yesterday at the start of the National Influenza Vaccine Summit. The little-known 2-day meeting, whi...... - 2009-07-04
» Experts investigating mysterious monkey deaths in Costa Rica
March, 31 - 3:32 PM San Jose.– Biologists and veterinarians are baffled by the death of more than 3,000 monkeys of various species at a remote national park in southwestern Costa Rica. The deaths of the spider, white-faced capuchin, howler and squirrel monkeys occurred over several weeks late last year in Corcovado National Park, prompting Costa Rican and U.S. scientists to launch an investigation. Eduardo Carrillo, a scientist at the National University of Costa Rica, told the press that between 30 and 40 percent of the monkey population at the park - home to some 10,000 primates - had died, probably from a disease, though the nature of the illness remains a mystery. He said the deaths of the monkeys "are a warning signal for ...... - 2009-07-04

What are the advantages of Project tools over other solutions like PHProjekt?"Project tools" isn't necessarily a project management tool it seems, more like a bug, support, tracking system.

» White horse with blue eyes, what are some reasons not to buy one?
I was told they are more susceptible to skin cancer. That blue eyes horses are "loony". I've read that their hooves and legs are more at risk for problems. Any input is appreciated.Well, light horses are more susceptible to skin cancer than other colors, but they also heal faster. A horse can't be deemed 'loony' on his eye color alone, I've met plenty of great blue eyed paints and blue eyes appys that have been great. They are only at risk for more hoof problems if their hooves are white, but that can be a potential problem in any breed or color. I hope this helps!I think it would be fine!Truth: White horses are at a higher risk of developing cancer. (Has nothing to do with blue eyes) White horses are more ofte...... - 2009-07-04

» Is working in shop alone illegal?
if there is only one of you working in the shop at hour long periods is it illegal?This depends on your country, your age, whether you own the business or just work for someone, and what type of business it is. If you are under 18 I think they cannot employ you for more than 30 hours a week. No, but your employer should have carried out a risk assessment to identify any specific risks which arise from working alone. They should then put measures into place to minimise any identified risks. For example, in our office if someone is working alone they must be in contact with a colleague once an hour so we know they are safe (have not had an accident, had a security issue, etc).Not illegal,I do it every day.Nope.no......yes it is. there n...... - 2009-07-04

Brown recluse poison is an amnitoxin, just like a rattlesnake.....so how long would it take for him to die if he didn't go to the hospital? Sorry, but you are incorrect.

It's contended that driving very fast gets better mileage because the engine simply isn't running as long.I knew there was a reason i didnt go to the lunch room There is a threshold of efficiency with every vehicle. Up to a certain point, just dumping fuel in an engine is often not nearly as efficient as driving at a more conservative pace. It depends on the car. No it is not running as long as the slower driving car, but you're also opening the throttle open. There is also the issue of resistance. At or up to certain speeds, cars drive through the a...... - 2009-07-04

» News media bias??????
This survey idea was actually spured on by a disagreement that Norm and I have on this. Is there really a bias? I feel that there is a bias. I don't want to turn my hand as to which way I feel it is though till later. Feel free to discuss this topic and please feel free to post links to web sources to back up your views. Later, Josh [This message has been edited by Josh (edited 10-25-2000).]This is sort of a late response, but here goes nonetheless: Of course the media -- or, more precisely, each of the constituents of what we call "the media" -- is biased. The media is comprised of humans and all humans are and forever will be biased. So when you ask, "Is the media biased?" you are asking the wrong question. Far more interestin...... - 2009-07-04

» Which burger is better Whopper or Big Mac?
Whopper with cheese of course.Whopper Reasons: Contains 90% less saturated fat (as the patty is flame grilled instead of fried) Contains more salad vegetables - such as tomato. Cheese is optional So is bacon Larger & more satisfying (In Australia, at Hungry Jacks) if you buy a Whopper Value meal you get unlimited drink refills You can choose a whopper junior if you're not feeling hungry enough for a full size whopper Always made fresh to order A Big Mac has less flavour, more saturated fat, is smaller, and if you buy a Big Mac meal, your drink is nearly always half filled with ice and the chips (fries) are cooked in canola oil and consequently are full of trans-fats.

I am looking to put a lot more bass in my jeep grand cherokee. I am looking at kenwood 12" 4ohm single voice coil subwoofers. It can handle up to 1200w and 400w RMS. I was wondering if i need a 1200w amp to power the sub? or can i go with an amp with lower watts? And i am thinking about putting 2 in. So would i need to get an amp with higher watts or another amp??your amp would have plenty of power for two of those kenwoods actually too much but you could always turn the gain on the amp down a bit so you don't max them out. Get an amp that makes 800w rms at 2 ohms, connect those subs in parallel to present a 2 ohm load to the amp. look at the alpine MRP-M850 http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_8518...since they are two 4ohm SVC subs ...... - 2009-07-04

March, 31 - 3:32 PM San Jose.– Biologists and veterinarians are baffled by the death of more than 3,000 monkeys of various species at a remote national park in southwestern Costa Rica. The deaths of the spider, white-faced capuchin, howler and squirrel monkeys occurred over several weeks late last year in Corcovado National Park, prompting Costa Rican and U.S. scientists to launch an investigation. Eduardo Carrillo, a scientist at the National University of Costa Rica, told the press that between 30 and 40 percent of the monkey population at the park - home to some 10,000 primates - had died, probably from a disease, though the nature of the illness remains a mystery.

» Is working in shop alone illegal?
if there is only one of you working in the shop at hour long periods is it illegal?This depends on your country, your age, whether you own the business or just work for someone, and what type of business it is. If you are under 18 I think they cannot employ you for more than 30 hours a week. No, but your employer should have carried out a risk assessment to identify any specific risks which arise from working alone. They should then put measures into place to minimise any identified risks. For example, in our office if someone is working alone they must be in contact with a colleague once an hour so we know they are safe (have not had an accident, had a security issue, etc).Not illegal,I do it every day.Nope.no......yes it is. there n...... - 2009-07-04

christmas is coming and i wanna buy my little brother something!! i wanna buy him ps3 but it's too expensive for me right now and he have ps1 so i will probably buy him ps2.i heard the original is better than the redesigned one but i can't decide so can somebody tell me which one is better!!! thanks.The newer one is a better buy. 1- It maybe cheaper depending on where you buy it. 2-It won't blow a fuse due to leaving it on for too long like the old one. 3-The newer PS2 can fit almost anywhere, and won't take up as much space as the old one. 4-The newer PS2 is a lot quieter than the older one. 5-Cheaper to repair it.The original PS2 is cheaper, and has the HD expansion slot.

» Soligor lens quality?
I have been browsing around for an inexpensive 400 mm lens to play around with and wound up picking up an old Minolta SRT 101 body, 55 mm lens, AND Soligor 400 mm lens, all in excellent condition, for a price I would have been willing to pay for either the body or the 400 mm lens alone. I wasn't really in need of another SRT body, but what the heck? Is Soligor considered pretty decent quality?

Brown recluse poison is an amnitoxin, just like a rattlesnake.....so how long would it take for him to die if he didn't go to the hospital? Sorry, but you are incorrect.

It's contended that driving very fast gets better mileage because the engine simply isn't running as long.I knew there was a reason i didnt go to the lunch room There is a threshold of efficiency with every vehicle. Up to a certain point, just dumping fuel in an engine is often not nearly as efficient as driving at a more conservative pace. It depends on the car.

Setting up mental health care programmes in emergency situations is not straightforward - especially when doing so across cultural divides. Opinion is split even on ...... - 2009-07-04

» Know any landline cordless phones that can hook up to a bluetooth headset?
I am opening up a nail salon. The receptionist needs to be able to walk around & make appointments without holding the phone in her hand. Anyone know any cordless phones that can connect to a bluetooth headset? If so, can I just buy any bluetooth headset to go along? How far can I walk away without losing signal? I'm not looking into hooking up any cellular phones. All answers are appreciated.Yes, even bluetooth makes a cordless phone with this capability. Just go to your electronic store and ask them, or you can google it like me. I put in bluetooth with land line phone. They weren't that expensive either....... - 2009-07-04

Although wild birds have been found dead during H5N1 outbreaks, evidence suggests that others have survived natural infections, and recent studies have shown several species of d...... - 2009-07-04
» Sites/sollutions for selling images online?
Hello I've had my website http://www.robertsphotos.co.uk running since 2002, it doesn't generate many sales and no longer suits my needs. Most of my sales come through Alamy (http://www.alamy.com/royalty-free-images-phot-browse.asp?pid={1A6AAA6D-207F-42FE-879D-F1E8A1ADC3DA}&pname=Robert%20Stainforth&srch=&returnurl=http%3A//www.alamy.com/stock-photography-contrib-sales-history.asp). I need a site that will enable clients to download full-res images, either for free or at a set price. I would like to be able to use thirdlight, but it's costs are high to justify the expense, been searching the web with no luck. Have a couple of non-commercial sites and can really recommend Foliosnap for showcasing your images. If anyone could some ...... - 2009-07-04
» Flutrackers archive available for download
I downloaded the flutracker threads from the archive, 08.May 2007, stripped the html, compressed it and uploaded it here: http://magictour.free.fr/ft.gz (36 MB, compressed) decompress it with gzip ... 143MB and use it for offline search ! I'm planning to update this, maybe once per month or such. Maybe I can make a special searching program later, adapted to this format. Also, the French letters may need some more processing... edit: download actually doesn't seem to work. It interrupts after 1MB for me. Maybe it works later or I can upload it elsewhere... edit: it doesn't work for me, when I click the link above, but it does work when I type in the URL: ---http://magictour.free.fr/ft.gz--- (remove the "-"s)I can't get...... - 2009-07-04
» Sub and amp for my jeep?
I am looking to put a lot more bass in my jeep grand cherokee. I am looking at kenwood 12" 4ohm single voice coil subwoofers. It can handle up to 1200w and 400w RMS. I was wondering if i need a 1200w amp to power the sub? or can i go with an amp with lower watts? And i am thinking about putting 2 in. So would i need to get an amp with higher watts or another amp??your amp would have plenty of power for two of those kenwoods actually too much but you could always turn the gain on the amp down a bit so you don't max them out. Get an amp that makes 800w rms at 2 ohms, connect those subs in parallel to present a 2 ohm load to the amp. look at the alpine MRP-M850 http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_8518...since they are two 4ohm SVC subs ...... - 2009-07-04
» importing UBB from diff server
I'm changing servers, and the new server has a different configuation. Just bringing UBB over doesn't work because the new location is different. will this affect the import of the data? Or will vB just grab the files relative to the site root (as opposed to the server root)?I found out what the path is to the directories from the error messages. When asking for directories of files, how do you put it? Example, if the Members directory is in cgi-bin/ubb/Members/, do you put it as: /cgi-bin/ubb/Members or /cgi-bin/ubb/Members/ or cgi-bin/ubb/Members/ or /home/hostname/cgi-bin/ubb/Members /home/hostname/cgi-bin/ubb/Members/ You see what I mean? Which is it? The directions could be a little better on the forms. ...... - 2009-07-04

Don't get me wrong, Nas is dope. But I have a feeling people here think he's great due to lack of exposure to other great hip-hop artists. What do you think? Am I an idiot?YES NAS IS GOOD THERE ARE A FEW STANS I DOUBT IT'S BECAUSE OF A LACK OF EXPOSURE...... YES YOU ARENas is really good, but there's better.

» Moving From Digital to Film! Just bought a MF camera.
Long time lurker - first time poster.... So I decided to finally make the big jump from digital to film… That’s right, I’m going old school. I have been using a Canon 40D for the most part (had a Rebel XTI and a backup) but I wanted to switch to medium format so I could make larger prints. I also wanted to give film a try because I want to slow down my photography and not just shoot a lot of photos at different exposures and different composures. A friend sold me his Mamiya RB67 Pro S with a 6x7 120 film back and waist level viewfinder. He also included 5 Mamiya Sekor C lenses (50mm f/4.5, 65mm f/4.5, 90mm f/3.8, 127mm f/3.8 and 180mm f/4.5) and a cable release. I also recently bought a Polaris SPD500 Dual 5 Flash Me...... - 2009-07-04
» I failed the driving test because the teacher was racist ?
On my driving test. For the state of california i did everything like it is suppose to be done ! When the test was over he told me i wasnt looking left and right during the intersections when i was .. I told him that i was he said i have no right to argue with him and i should be thankful that i am living in the states since i am kuwaity. I tried to talk to someone in the DMV department but everyone seem busy and they told me to take another test and do better next time . I feel bad for you but I'm not sure what you can do to remedy that. I say to just take another test. I really don't see you getting far in arguing that point unless you're willing to argue it for a long time as many people in the DMV aren't goi...... - 2009-07-04
» Need advice on my Minolta
I have a Minolta DiMage 7 that I've placed ads for on my local CL because I'm looking go get something more "point and shoot" because the Minoltas shots about 3/4 of the time come out blurry or unfocused and its starting to drive me crazy! Someone has already responded to my ad but he wants to trade either a hp photosmart 417 or a canon dvd camcorder..I'm leaning more towards getting money from my minolta and going to pick out something on my own. what do you think of the HP? would it be a good deal or should I just try to take the money that I sell the camera for and go shopping around? Thank you!Welcome to the forum. I don't know what would be best for you to do...but I wanted to say that if you are getting shots that are "3/4 of th...... - 2009-07-04
» What's the one shoot you want to do, but can't?
I have a handful of shoots in my mind, but all of them have serious obstacles in the way, so I just get to keep sitting on them, not doing them. I figure I'm not the only one with this problem, so I thought it might be fun to share our just-out-of-reach photo ideas. One of mine is that I would love to take a series of pictures of well-dressed students in a classroom that's clearly been abandoned for decades. Something like the school in that movie Children of Men, but not quite the same. Unfortunately, I don't have willing students to photograph, no decrepit school and I'm just not that good at generating artificial environments on the computer. So, I just sit, toying the idea around in my head. *Sigh* So what's one of yours? chrome://di...... - 2009-07-04

Hello, I need a big favour would someone be able to look at my .fla and help me with it. I have a read and used various tutorials, it may be something simple to someone who knows what they are doing? I can't continue with my design til I get this first bit sorted and I've been stuck on it for ages! :( Basically I have a preloader in 1st scene. In the second scene I have a mc which is a photo ( i am gonna build on this later). I have used a parralax script on the movie so it moves with the mouse, but I can't get it to stop exactly at the edges of my photo mc? Also I can't get it to move vertically? The other thing is i have a script that when the user clicks on the image it zooms in but that does not work at the mo? I understand you are all...... - 2009-07-04

It would be a good thing if Ridgid had a sweepstakes that would promote their tools in Home Depot and online. I have seen a few giveaways while looking online but not one that would have an entire workshop of tools for the grand prize. This would really get woodworkers attention and give Ridgid alot of publicity.Excellent idea! Count me in....I am getting ready to fund a new bandsaw by selling a few tools on ebay....it would be great to have a chance to win a whole shop of Ridgid tools!!Can I take a Cash Option?

» Displaying certain results when certain keywords are searche
Is it possible to tell Zoom to show a certain result for the first search result of a search? For example: I want my photos page to be the first result when I search "photos" Is it possible to declare somewhere that when "photos" is searched for, to display my Photos page as the first result? Or do I just have to use the meta Zoom boost code?You have to make sure that the page is the most relevant page for that word. There are two ways to do this. 1) Add that keyword into the page meta data a few times. 2) Boost that page It can also help if you turn on the display of the "Score" on the search results page, this way you can see what effect the meta data changes are having. ------- David...... - 2009-07-04
