Predicting Dodgers' 2018 NLDS roster against Atlanta
Dustin Nosler 10/02/2018 Uncategorized Leave A Comment
Pedro Baez. Photo: Stacie Wheeler
My first attempt at predicting the Dodgers' National League Division Series roster 12 days ago was before they actually locked up a playoff spot. Now that they've won the NL West for a sixth consecutive season, let's try to hammer out the 25-man roster the Dodgers will put up against the Braves.
As usual, we start with the locks.
Walker Buehler
Scott Alexander
Caleb Ferguson
Dylan Floro
Kenley Jansen
Catchers/Infielders
David Freese
Matt Kemp
We're up to 21 (from 20 in the first prediction), with the only difference here from the first prediction is the inclusion of Hill. He'll be the No. 4 starter in any playoff series — even a 5-gamer.
All the other inclusions are pretty self-explanatory and obvious. And like last time, let's rule out the guys who have no chance of making it.
John Axford
JT Chargois
Rocky Gale
Pat Venditte
The only guy here who could be in contention for a spot is Urias — or so it would seem. I wrote about his playoff roster chances last week at True Blue LA. Here's an excerpt:
"Urías' outing on Sunday came after seven days of rest. Prior to his first MLB outing this season, he had 12 days of rest. Here are the days of rest in between starts in his 10 minor-league outings this season: 3, 5, 4, 5, 5, 3, 2, 2, 2. That's an average of 3.4 days of rest between outings. If the Dodgers make the postseason, their likely schedule is as follows: Thursday-Friday-Sunday-Monday-Wednesday. Assuming the Dodgers begin the postseason on Oct. 4, that will be four days since the end of the season. With the entirety of the series being played in the span of six days, that would mean Urías would be good for maybe two outings, and that would mean throwing in Games 1 and 5. That is, if the Dodgers would still adhere to the extended rest period for him."
Include the fact that he pitched in three MLB games this season in which the Dodgers were leading by 13, 14 and 15 runs, and it's pretty clear the Dodgers don't have any high-leverage work planned for him in 2018. And that's OK.
So, it's down to 12 guys for four remaining spots — three pitchers and one position player.
Pedro Baez
Tony Cingrani
Ryan Madson
Zac Rosscup
Alex Wood
Position Players
Brian Dozier
Kyle Farmer
Tim Locastro
Baez has worked his way into the near-lock category with a strong second half. He has earned Dave Roberts' trust. Wood saw some high-leverage work, so he's likely in as well. Cingrani and Fields are probably out. It's too bad about Cingrani because he's probably the 2nd-best reliever the Dodgers have, if everyone is healthy. Rosscup would be on as a true LOOGY, but is that more important than having a better pitcher like Stripling and/or Madson? That remains to be seen. If it's up to me, I'd go with Stripling ahead of Madson and Rosscup.
As far as position players goes, this one seems to be more of a luxury and a "take the best guy who fills the biggest need." Farmer, Locastro and Toles are probably out, so it's down to Dozier and Verdugo. Verdugo is probably the better hitter at present, but Dozier has more power and hits right-handed. That gives him the slight edge over the Verdugo … also the fact Dozier got 23 more plate appearances (despite hitting .087 for the month) gives him the slight edge in this prediction.
Final Four Spots: Baez, Stripling, Wood, Dozier
I'm sure there will be something I've gotten wrong here (seems to happen a lot these days). Maybe Urias bucks all logic and gets the nod. Maybe the wily veteran Madson gets in ahead of a maybe-tired Stripling. We'll see.
One thing's for sure: This roster is star-studded and full of talent. As was the plan when Andrew Friedman and Co. took over.

Brendan Rodgers is a football genius! Twitter laughs at Liverpool's expense
Liverpool have now lost four consecutive games following their dreadful defeat at the hands of Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park.Brendan Rodgers' team have gone from one playing some of the finest football in the Premier League to a lacklustre side churning out insipid display after insipid display.Rival fans across the country, though, were more than happy to revel in their misery and took to Twitter to share their jokes and memes.You can see some of the tweets below 1
Lukaku loves playing for Everton, claims Martinez
Everton manager Roberto Martinez claimed Romelu Lukaku's hat-trick performance against BSC Young Boys in the Europa League proved that he "loves" to play for the Toffees.The 21-year-old Belgium striker, who Everton paid a club record £28million for last summer to recruit him from Chelsea after having him on loan for the previous season, was quoted last week following a 1-0 loss to his former employers as saying he would like to "eventually arrive at a top club again."But Martinez rubbished those reports, adding the Belgian is "delighted" to commit himself to Everton."It was clearly someone looking for a headline about if Rom [Lukaku] wanted to perform in order to come back to Chelsea, and his answer probably didn't reflect what he meant," said Martinez."It's never an issue. Rom was delighted to commit himself to Everton."He loves playing for Everton, and I think he showed that today."A footballer needs to be measured by the way he talks on the pitch. Sometimes a microphone can be put in front of you and people then dissect everything you say and highlight a word or line which is not appropriate."It's not an issue. He's a special footballer who we love seeing developing, and he's just enjoying being an important player for Everton."Martinez added of Lukaku, who now has 13 goals this season: "He's the complete striker, but he's only 21 and people forget about that."Our desire and work we put in over the summer was to show we are the perfect place for him to develop."We saw today he really makes a difference in front of goal and he's someone who is going to have a really strong ending to the season."

'NEXT TIME IT COULD BE YOU' WARNS DONEGAL ROAD SAFETY EVENT
'Remember, the next time it could be you.'This is the hard-hitting Road Safety message being delivered to Donegal students in the Aura Leisure Centre Letterkenny on Tuesday 14th October at 11.00am & 1.30pm and a further show on Wednesday 15th October at 11.00am.The show, which is in its seventh year, is hosted by Donegal County Council in association with the Donegal Road Safety Working Group (DRSWG). Almost 3,000 young people will witness how a night out ends in tragedy for a 17-year old boy who has just passed his driving test.The success of the show can be gauged in that all Secondary Schools in County Donegal since the show was for launched have sent their Transition year, Leaving Cert Applied and fourth year students to the show.Additionally, Youthreach Centres, ETB participants also attend. The impact of the show has also been acknowledged in Northern Ireland with the Police Service of Northern Ireland bringing schools from Derry and Strabane.Despite schools being extremely busy and having to cope with reduced budgets, School Principals consistently advise Donegal County Council that they believe that this is one of the most important initiatives hosted to educate their young students for the life ahead of them. The story is not performed by actors. It is told by a Garda Officer, a Paramedic, a Fire Officer, an Emergency Consultant, the Mother of a victim tragically killed in a road traffic collision and Richard Alcorn from Dunfanaghy, who was paralysed following a road traffic collision a number of years ago. The narrative is interspersed with music, video clips, television advertisements and is hosted by Charlie Collins.Cathaoirleach of Donegal County Council, John Campbell said, "We believe that this show will impact strongly on the young people attending and will encourage them to drive safely so it doesn't happen to them. The show is part of Donegal County Council's ongoing commitment to improving Road Safety in the County. It targets groups who are most at risk – young people who are just beginning to drive and think they are safe on our roads. We want to positively influence these young drivers as they start out on what will hopefully be a long and safe motoring career."The Road Show is designed to appeal to young people. The venue is set up to give a nightclub like atmosphere with a local radio DJ playing the latest music. After a short while, the ambience changes as the Road Show story begins to unfold and the full horror of what could happen in a collision is played out in front of them.Brian O'Donnell, Road Safety Officer, Donegal County Council commented: "It is a sad fact that almost everyone in this County knows someone who was killed or seriously injured in traffic collisions in the County. This show offers our young people the opportunity to learn about the consequences of poor driving behaviour on our roads. Our hope is that this show will have a positive influence on them and help to keep them safe on our roads in the future".The following are the participating schools and their attendance times.

COUNCIL TO TAKE LEGAL ADVICE OVER AN TAISCE CRITICISM
DONEGAL County Council is to take legal advice over a statement the planning department and county manager Seamus Neely want to issue in response to the damning report from An Taisce.Yesterday the quango rated Donegal as the worst council in the country when it came to planning.But the criticism was rejected today by Mr Neely. However Cllr Frank McBrearty said that as a new councillor on the body, he was reluctant to see the statement as coming from councillors until the matter had been investigated legally.The statement stood as being from council staff – rather than councillors – and was highly critical of An Taisce and its views.It said the council performance was within council guidelines.In a statement, the council said the report "clearly does not acknowledge that these were largely applications for single/rural family dwelling, considered under the context of distinct rural housing policies and are not lands zoned in an urban context." It states that the criteria used in the league table drawn up by An Taisce appears "biased" against rural areas and denied that it ignored national planning policy.It also states that 75% of Donegal's population is rural and that the report had ignored the county's unique geographic location and demography.

Lakers' JaVale McGee fakes injury to throw down dunk on Warriors
If you're a hoops aficionado, you're familiar with the post-up move. Now say howdy to the post-off move.If you're a hoops aficionado, you shouldn't be surprised that the revolutionary, weird, possibly extra-legal, move was debuted Wednesday night by JaVale McGee.Playing in a preseason game against the Warriors, one of his six former teams, McGee, now a Laker in good standing, faked an injury near the basket and limped off the court favoring his left leg.There he stood in the throes of … read more
A Cell Technology Show
The basic units of life continue to astound scientists with their tricks. Here are a few recent samples:Valuable junk: The complementary or "antisense" strands of certain RNAs that latch onto messenger RNAs are not just junk anymore. Science Daily reported that these genetic oddities, "previously thought to have no function, may in fact protect sex cells from self-destructing." Nobody would want that to happen. Up till now these strands of genetic material were thought to have no meaning at all. Now, "considering how widespread these antisense transcripts are, I wouldn't be surprised if these findings eventually lead us to discover an entirely new level of gene regulation." Another said, "This points to an entirely new process of gene regulation that we've never seen before in eukaryotic cells."Fishers of molecules: How do DNA transcribers move? Do they crawl like an inchworm down the strand? No; the answer is even more surprising. Researchers at UCLA found that "transcription proceeds initially through a 'scrunching' mechanism in which, much like a fisherman reeling in a catch, RNAP [RNA Polymerase] remains in a fixed position while it pulls the flexible DNA strand of the gene within itself and past the enzyme's reactive center to form the RNA product." See EurekAlert for the details. The original papers in Science actually use the abstruse technical term "scrunching." Another press release on EurekAlert has a picture of the "scrunching machine."Diamonds from the rough: EurekAlert reported that another molecular machine is involved in gene expression. Another RNA polymerase builds micro-RNAs formerly thought to be junk, but now seen to be important in regulating the expression of genes. Scientists seem to be excited these days about treasure-hunting in the genetic junkyard. This discovery "broadens understanding of a rapidly developing area of biology known as functional genomics and sheds more light on the mysterious, so-called 'junk DNA' that makes up the majority of the human genome."Of all the nerve dancers: Neurons cover themselves in myelin sheaths that are critical to their function. A press release from Vanderbilt U compared this to the insulation on electrical wiring in your house. "The formation of myelin sheaths during development requires a complex choreography generally considered to be one of nature's most spectacular examples of the interactions between different kinds of cells," reporter David Salisbury wrote. A group at Vanderbilt succeeded at filming part of the dance. "We discovered that this process is far more dynamic than anyone had dreamed," commented one team member. It's a good thing the dancers usually get their act together. Failure can result in "blindness, muscle weakness and paralysis, loss of coordination, stuttering, pain and burning sensations, impotence, memory loss, depression and dementia." Ouch. Read the details and look at frames from the movies they made.At your service: Science Daily also had a story about the DNA Repair Team in the cell. Its motto, announces the title, is "to protect and to serve." The article, based on Salk Institute research, began, "When you dial 911 you expect rescuers to pull up at your front door, unload and get busy–not park the truck down the street and eat donuts." Same for the cell, it continues: "just before it divides, it recruits protein complexes that repair breakage that may have occurred along the linear DNA chains making up your 46 chromosomes." There's even a protein complex scientists have named 9-1-1. At the ends of chromosomes, the versatile repair crew knows how to call in additional support to tuck in the ends of the strands and form a protective cap. "Be thankful your cells are so clever," the article states: "Erroneous fusion of chromosome ends would be disastrous, leading to cell death or worse." No donut breaks for these skilled technicians; they are on the job 24 x 7.Thanksgiving Day is approaching, by the way. As you feast, your servants will be hard at work. Be nice to them.The discoveries pouring out of the world's leading cell biology and genetics labs are exciting, and have "design" written all over them. Rare is the article on the details of cell biology that mentions evolution at all. If it does, evolutionary theory is usually tagged on as an afterthought, contributing nothing of substance. Reporters are increasingly bypassing the Charlie display and lining up at the high-tech booth. It is hard to see how the Darwin Dictatorship can survive this continual onslaught. The Darwin Party must feel like North Korean leaders watching helplessly as their country is bombarded by colorful, gift-laden balloons those mission boards keep launching to the starving, brainwashed victims enslaved within. The soldiers try to arrest seekers from picking them up or looking at them, but they can't stop them all, nor explain them away with the usual propaganda. Silently and relentlessly, the bright and cheery salvo proclaims to the captives, "Hang on; have faith – the darkness will end, and freedom will be your destiny."(Visited 10 times, 1 visits today)FacebookTwitterPinterestSave分享0 read more


Tools and processes are all well and good, but in practice, someone has to get the ball rolling. That person is the review initiator. Many people can play this role. It could be the owner of the code, the team leader or project manager, the chief architect, or even a QA person. It's up to you to decide what suits your organization best.
Keep in mind that many developers will consider code reviews a bit of a chore—at best, and they will not come forth and volunteer their code for a code review. Others will delay the process as long as possible, waiting for their code to be as perfect as possible (for example, after the delivery date when they have more time), or just hoping that people will forget about them. If this is the case, then the team leader or architect should take responsibility for initiating code reviews.
Initiating a review involves assigning team members as reviewers.
Initiating a review involves deciding which types of issues will be evaluated.
Although the special DEFAULT review entry can define default values for these fields, many organizations will prefer to have these activities done centrally by one person (e.g., the project manager, the architect, or the lead developer).
When you notify reviewers that some code is ready to be reviewed, you should include a brief description of the purpose of the code (for new code) or the justification for the change (for changes to existing code). This is often best done by the developer.
For any non-trivial classes, unit tests and unit test results should be submitted for review at the same time as the classes. Again, the developer is probably the best person to do this.
This approach works well if a single person is responsible for committing code to the next release version candidate. In open source projects, this person is often called the committer. In this sort of project organization, developers may commit their code to configuration management whenever necessary, but the committer is responsible for committing reviewed code to the release candidate code (which is often a new branch in the configuration management system). This also gives developers a good reason to have their code reviewed: if it isn't reviewed, it won't make it into the release version!
In any case, whatever strategy you adopt, it is important to agree on who initiates code reviews and who participates. You need to put this down in writing and to make sure everyone knows and understands the process.
To initiate a review, open the project properties and go to the Review entry. Click on New... to create a new review entry (see Figure 2). Each review entry corresponds to a real physical code review. You need to specify an identifier (unique to this project) and a short description. The identifier becomes the name of the .jupiter file, so remember to put something compatible with a file name structure.
Now, specify the source code files you want to review (see Figure 3). Typically, a code review will concentrate on one class, though it may include some other related or dependent classes as well.
The following screens enable you to select the review team (see Figure 4) and the code author. Jupiter stores the comments of each team member in a separate file under configuration management, so you should use filename-compatible names (such as logins) for your team members. To make life easier, you should put the whole team into the DEFAULT review item; new reviews will then display this list by default.
In the following screens, you can specify issue types, severities, and so on. You usually leave these screens as-is: any modification of these lists should be done in the special DEFAULT review.
Next, you have to define a place in your source code directories where the review XML files will be stored. This is a directory relative to your project root directory.
Finally, you can set up filters for different situations (see Figure 5). Each phase has its own filter, which you can customize to let people concentrate better on the work to be done during that phase.
Individual Phase: The default filter for this phase is 'Reviewer:automatic', which means that individual reviewers will see only their own review issues.
Team Phase: The default filter for this phase is 'Resolution:unset', which simply means that during the team review, reviewers will see all the issues that have not been resolved. In Jupiter-speak, the 'resolution' of an issue is when the review team decides on which action to take, either "Valid needs fixing" (the issue is a real issue, which needs to be fixed) or "Invalid won't fix" (the issue is not a valid issue, so no corrective action will be taken).
Rework Phase: The default filters for this phase are 'Assigned to:automatic' and 'Status:open'. When the reviewers decide on an action, the task is assigned to a team member (usually the author). These filters display only the issues that have been assigned to the current user and that are still open.
All of the fields described here take their default values from the special DEFAULT review item. So it is worthwhile to set up the DEFAULT review item with sensible project-wide values.
Once everyone is notified, the actual review process can begin.

As part of its core objectives as a stakeholder and practitioner in the ICT sector in Nigeria, Paradigm Initiative Nigeria is at the centre of advocacy efforts to ensure that not only do technologies and innovations improve the lives of every Nigerian citizen but that they are also done while conforming to fundamental rights of every Nigerian.
Among these rights are Freedom to Expression online, Right to Opinion, Transparency in Surveillance and most importantly, at the heart of this call, Right to Privacy.
Not only are these rights protected, by extension by the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (as amended) they are currently amplified in the Digital Rights and Freedom Bill (HB. 490) which seeks to exhaustively engage issues of positive rights like these.
"Statutorily, on the 19th of September, 2016, Paradigm Initiative Nigeria through its ICT Policy engagements has relied on the provisions of the Freedom of Information Act of 2011 to request information from the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) on the true state of fact on the data of private citizens currently on the www.voters.ng platform.
"This call is being made to ensure that the rights of every Nigerian citizen are adequately protected especially in the age where technologies are capable of being used against individual safety." said Tomiwa Ilori, Program Assistant (ICT Policy), Paradigm Initiative Nigeria.
"It is important to also note, that not only does it smack of distrust and lack of due diligence by a public institution in performing its duties to find data of private citizens handed to them in trust in the hand of a third party without any evidence of consent of these citizens sought, it portends great danger to the digital survival of our social, political and economic environment.", he concluded.
Standards Organisation of Nigeria (SON) has kicked off the process for the implementation of electronic demand notes, receipts as well as ports and borders operations clearing processes.
This is as part of efforts to enhance a seamless service delivery to stakeholders through improved synergy within its operational units.
A statement from the media unit of SON said that Osita Aboloma, director-general of SON, stated this in Lagos at a strategic meeting on the deployment of the solutions.
The statement hinted that the transitioning to the electronic demand note and receipt as well electronic ports and border operations would mitigate challenges faced by customers and clients of SON and promote greater efficiency in service delivery.
Represented by Mr. Kabir Mohammed, director in the Director-General's office, the SON Chief Executive posited that the electronic platforms would create a business solution tailored around SON services, aimed at achieving the Organisation's strategic goals.
Introducing the proposed solution, Mr. Mike Aigbe, deputy managing director, Vatebra Limited, said the organisation had helped in creating similar solutions for organisations in Nigeria and other African countries in the last 15years.
Aigbe said the company's objective from the outset was to create a payment engine that could be plugged into all manner of applications for the processing of financial transactions for Organisations, including SON, he said.
He listed some of the Organisations that had benefited from the company's electronic solution services in Nigeria as including the West African Examination Council (WAEC) and the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB).
He stated that the strategy meeting with Heads of Departments and Units in Lagos Operational Headquarters was a follow up to an earlier one at the Corporate Headquarters, Abuja to interact with process owners and gather data in order to customise the proposed solutions to their specific needs.
The Vertebra Deputy MD enumerated the achievable gains from the proposed electronic processes solutions which include eliminating human intervention in the processes for greater efficiency, cost savings on printing of manual demand notes and receipts and elimination of the stress associated with moving from point A to B to obtain demand notes and receipts.
He stated that the electronic solutions project, which is expected to be deployed within 45 to 60days, would also attend to the compulsory need to join the International Public Service Standard (IPSAS) by the SON.
SON Heads of departments and units provided input on their various processes to the Vertebra Limited team in furtherance of the electronic services solutions.
National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA) on Wednesday, said the agency is set to empower youths within Enugu and the South East region with Information Communication Technology (ICT) skills through its Start-Up Friday (SUF) programme on April 26.
SUF programme is a technology entrepreneurs' gathering designed by NITDA and implemented by its subsidiary —Office for ICT Innovation and Entrepreneurship (OIIE).
She also said that the SUF would be hosted in collaboration with ICT hubs and universities in the South-East region, which was targeted at bringing together the regional ecosystem stakeholders.

Weak Revenue Month for Vegas
According to the most recent Nevada Gaming Control Board Report, available in pdf format here:
http://gaming.nv.gov/modules/showdocument.aspx?documentid=11183
Revenues for the State of Nevada were down just over 2% for the month of April as compared to last year. While revenues for the Strip were down more or less in accordance with the rest of the state, Downtown took a major blow off 12.6% compared to April of last year. It is highly doubtful that the fact that Las Vegas Club is not currently operating had much of an impact on revenues, but that still leads one to ask: Why is Downtown Las Vegas not the destination for gambling this April that it was last April?
Downtown Las Vegas is an interesting area because it relies on both tourist revenue as well as local revenues, so is it possible that a recent spike in unemployment in Las Vegas has had an impact? According to this source:
https://ycharts.com/indicators/las_vegas_nv_unemployment_rate
The unemployment rate in Las Vegas as of the period ending 3/31/2016 is up a full half of a percent compared to the same period last year. However, even with that being the case, the current 6.2% unemployment rate is still the second-lowest that Las Vegas has seen in the last two years, so it is unlikely that is the problem. Derek and Greg Stevens have purchased the Glitter Gulch strip club as well as Mermaids and La Bayou, but none of those entities have actually closed yet. In fact, June 27th is the date that has been announced for Mermaids and La Bayou to close. As a result, if nothing else, people waxing nostalgic should be visiting those casinos more. Why Downtown revenues are down so much for this month compared to April of last year is a mystery to me, May even started on a Sunday, so April had the fortune of ending on a weekend.
...But, Parking Fees Will Go Up (From Zero)
While the Gambling Revenues are recently down for the Strip, parking revenues are all but guaranteed to go up, here is a sample of some of the pay-to-park procedures that are going to be effecting most MGM branded casinos, this one from the MGM Grand:
https://www.mgmgrand.com/en/amenities/parking.html
Fortunately, parking for State of Nevada residents is going to remain free until 12/29/2016, probably just to give them a chance to adjust. Furthermore, since many of these people are going to be driving within the State, these new parking fees might otherwise take them completely by surprise as opposed to out-of-state travellers who are more likely to have researched this sort of thing and will know, in advance, to expect parking fees.
Furthermore, parking will remain free for certain tiers of MLife Rewards Members which is something I predicted in an earlier Article that I wrote when this decision was made. It is a simple decision to do that, really: Essentially what you are doing is taking something that would otherwise be instantly detrimental to everyone, (having to pay for parking) but now you are turning it into a player's club, 'Perk,' by giving people something that they already were entitled to (free parking) just a few short months prior. That would be like a grocery store that had a policy of doubling coupons up to $0.99 cancelling that policy unless you have a shopper's card and can be shown to have spent $xxx in that grocery store over the last year. Actually, I had better just stop with that idea right now before the grocery stores start implementing it.
Essentially, you are making it look like a favor to give people something that they already had.
In the meantime, if you do not have an MLife Rewards card at all, or otherwise do not have one of a high enough tier, the first hour of parking is going to be free (at least, so far) 1-4 hours will be $7 and 4-24 hours will cost $10 with a charge of $10 for each additional day.
From what I can tell, merely being a registered guest of the hotel is also insufficient to escape the parking fees, however, paying the parking fee at any one property will enable a person to get access to all of the other properties up until 11:59p.m. on the day upon which they are checking out.
At least the process seems to be fairly simple for those entitled to free parking: Residents of the State of Nevada (or those holding an applicable MLife Card) simply need to scan their card or driver's license on the way in and out in order to take advantage of the Free Parking...here's to hoping that everything scans properly and nothing gets backed up!
Still Trump, but in Icahn's Hands
Carl Icahn is promising to reinvigorate the Trump Taj Mahal Casino, but he will not be starting with a name or brand change, and why not? It couldn't hurt to have the name of who could theoretically become the nation's next President on the front of your casino, after all. Icahn now has full control of the recently struggling Trump Taj Mahal and will now be run by the same entity that runs the Tropicana Casino, which is also owned by Icahn.
While Icahn will not be making the full investment that he had initially promised while the casino was languishing in Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Court, he will invest several million dollars in much needed improvements that will at least serve to make the casino less dumpy on the face of things. These improvements include fundamentals such as new slot machines and restoring lights that have been off for the last several years presumably to save money for this long-suffering establishment. Icahn may make further investments at a later time, but in addition to expanding casino operations in many of the states that surround or are near New Jersey, including casinos slated to open in Massachusetts over the next few years, it is also possible that Legislation will enable two new casinos to open in Northern New Jersey. Furthermore, the casino might encounter additional competition if Glenn Straub is successful in fully reopening the property once known as the Revel Casino.
In effect, Atlantic City would essentially return to the level of competition that forced the closure of multiple casinos just two years ago with one of those casinos very nearly being the Trump Taj Mahal. Carl Icahn seems to be taking the position of keeping the establishment somewhat viable while waiting to see if there is going to be too much surrounding competition for the casino to ultimately survive.
At the time of its opening, the Taj Mahal was the most expensive casino ever built, but has since fallen from those lofty heights and has languished for the last few years barely staying open. Fortunately, given the recent investments by Icahn (even though they are not as much as he initially promised) it looks like the Taj Mahal will be viable for at least the next couple of years, which definitely has the employees breathing a sigh of relief.
CG Technology Complaint
The Nevada Gaming Control Board, about two weeks ago, filed a complaint against CG Technology alleging that they not only short changed bettors on payments of winning bets by about $700,000 affecting 20,000 bets (and an unknown number of individual bettors) over the past four years. In addition to these allegations, not only did CG Technologies initially attempt to block the investigation of the Gaming Control Board, but also continued to pay out short when they had led the Gaming Control Board to believe that the issue had been fixed.
The Complaint seeks judgments of $100,000 for each of the six counts, which, in my opinion, would have CG Technology getting off entirely too easy. It would be one thing if CG was never aware of any of the software glitches that were resulting in these underpayments, which they have a fundamental responsibility to ensure are correct anyway, but the issue is made even worse by CG's repeated attempts to block the investigations and mislead the Nevada Gaming Control Board.
For those of you who would prefer to avoid CG Technology Sports Books in the future, they can be found at the Cosmopolitan, Tropicana, Silverton, Venetian, Hard Rock, The Palms and M Casino. However, the casinos themselves are not implicated of any wrongdoing whatsoever, so that is something to keep in mind if you are not looking to bet sports. I am absolutely NOT suggesting that these casinos should be avoided, but my personal opinion is that I would avoid a sports book that knew they were short changing players but only sought out to make it right with those players who complained.
This is not the first time CG Technology has been in hot water, back in 2014 it was fined 5.5 million dollars due to its lack of supervision with respect to former sports book supervisor Mike Colbert who was involved in an illegal national betting ring. While I do think that sports wagering should be legal in all fifty, and fully support the right of all people to bet on sports (obviously, aside from those actually participating in the sport or otherwise trying to rig the outcome) the law is the law and higher-level employees must be monitored at all times to ensure that they, and, by extension, the company, are full compliant and abiding.
$10,000 Free Shot
How creative are you feeling?
If you think that you are capable of coming up with a good name for the former Revel Casino, then you have until June 15th to submit it and the winner will receive $10,000. Originally, Straub planned to rebrand as Polo North, but unfortunately, the moniker hasn't stuck. I'm personally going to jump in with my suggestion of, "The Golden Goose Casino," and I have a few logo ideas as well, so if anyone uses that, then they stole it from me if that's the winner!
Do you have any suggestions for the name? Post them in the comments, after you send them in!
I have found that Straub has asked for his E-Mail to be removed from a different site that also reported on this story, however, not on the site in which Amy S. Rosenberg originally reported on it, therefore, I will link you to the Philly./com Article from which (as of the time of this writing) you can get the E-Mail for Glenn Straub:
http://www.philly.com/philly/blogs/downashore/Augmented-reality-for-Revel-but-.html
In honor of Prince, I have also suggested, 'The Casino Formerly Known as Revel.' Remember, before you post your suggestions here, you should send the E-Mail to Glenn Straub that way nobody takes what would otherwise be your winning suggestion!
Hell, if I win the competition, I might even be able to afford spending one or two nights there!
Two Men Involved in Casino Robbery Arrested
I am assuming MickeyCrimm wasn't around or there would have been swift justice dealt to Thomas Earl Dempsey and Nick West who have been arrested in connection with a casino robbery that occurred at Deano's Casino early Friday morning. The two men are alleged to have robbed the casino at gunpoint and then to have taken a family hostage while the family were nearby getting gas and had initially contacted the police to report the robbery.
In what will be the scariest thing to ever happen to the family involved of Washington, at least I hope it will be the scariest thing to happen to them, the two men pulled open the doors to the SUV stopping once to let one of the children out and then another time to let the other child and the grandmother out. After that, while fleeing police, the two suspects allegedly began firing at patrol cars before finally pulling the SUV to a stop and fleeing the scene on foot while leaving the parents (other than psychologically) unharmed. Fortunately, these two men are the only ones allegedly involved with the robbery, and as a result, no suspects are currently at-large.
Another Reason to Watch The Employees
Once again, while casinos are primarily concerned with looking out for Advantage Players and Blackjack Card Counters (even ones who are essentially low-stakes guys) another casino employee has been charged (and pleaded not guilty) to a casino theft spanning several months.
According to the Indictment:
http://www.indianz.com/IndianGaming/2016/04/22/11313512329.pdf
Mark Hannan was employed as a cage cashier at the Native Star Casino owned and operated by the Winnebago Indian Tribe of Nebraska stole approximately $15,000 from the casino over a period of three-and-a-half months.
It is incomprehensible to me how the verification processes in the casino are so lacking that an employee would be able to pilfer any amount of money over such an extended period of time. Hopefully, more details of exactly how this was allegedly accomplished will come to light in the event that this matter ultimately goes to trial if Hannan does not opt to change his plea.
Last Chance in Ohio
For those of you who like movies, this might be the last chance (over the next few days) to visit one of a few locations in Ohio that are associated with movies. While it is possible that there will continue to be something good playing next month, from everything I have heard, the little that remains of this month is it, so I would suggest getting out there if you haven't been there before.
NetEnt to Enter the Romanian Market
In an intelligent move by Romania, NetEnt has been licensed to have Class II Online Gambling in the country which includes the production and distribution of software as well as the ability to operate gaming sites. For those of you unfamiliar with the name, NetEnt is one of the few Online Gambling Software Companies operating in an expressly legal way in the United States within the three states that offer Online Gambling. NetEnt has made it a priority and major part of their long-term business strategy to get into as many markets as possible, and Romania will be just another feather in their cap.
NetEnt is also mentioned in another recent Article of mine (in a limited way) as their software had been pirated by a number of rogue casinos that have been found out and added to the Blacklist at WizardofOdds.com as well as LatestCasinoBonuses.com. In that Article, I discussed how one can make sure that the software is actually being provided by the entity purported to have licensed its use, and that is important, because NetEnt is a provider of legitimately good casino software and casinos offering NetEnt games should be highly desired.
For Romania, the ability to now tax the gross winnings derived from its Online Casino operators stand to result in the country garnering approximately 100 million dollars in new tax revenues each year by way of taxing operators on the gross losses of customers deriving from Romania. I cannot stress enough how intelligent of a decision this is by that country because, much like the United States, individuals who are prohibited from gambling online are likely going to do it anyway, so it is up to whatever jurisdiction (be it a country or a state) to either derive tax revenues from such activities or to fail to derive such revenues. In this particular instance, Romania made the right choice...maybe a few more U.S. States will follow suit.
Like I have said a million times, for an actual Governmental entity under whose purview the player actually falls to license and regulate Online Casinos is a good thing for the player, in many respects. Much like with Land-Based casinos that are regulated by a Gaming Control Board of the State in question, there are going to protections in place that are meant to ensure that the player is getting a fair gamble. There is no reason for this to be any different when it comes to Online Casinos.
Resorts World Las Vegas Now Official
In a little bit of, 'Dotting the T's and Crossing the I's,' the Nevada Gaming Commission has officially granted the necessary regulatory approval in order for Malaysian Genting to begin construction on the Resorts World. Of course, such granting will neither speed up nor slow down the timetable for which the casino will be opened (early 2019) as primary construction was never anticipated to begin until the last quarter of this year, and that plan remains unchanged.
For those who may not be aware, Resorts World Las Vegas is going to be built in the location of the former Stardust Resort and Casino which was once owned by Boyd Gaming, who have been on a buying spree themselves lately. In March of 2007, Boyd Gaming imploded the Stardust Resort and Casino and construction began on a project that was known as Echelon Place. Unfortunately, given the recession and corresponding downturn in gambling revenues and room occupancy of 2008, Boyd Gambling quickly abandoned the Echelon Place project and would sell the property site to the Genting Group in 2013.
Genting originally planned to have Resorts World Las Vegas up and running by late 2018, but they are still not far off from their original planned schedule.
In my opinion, the Resorts World Las Vegas will be a welcome addition to the Las Vegas Strip because at least another corporation will have a presence there. I'm actually starting to think of it as the Caesar's and MGM Strip these days as those two entities continue to occupy more and more real estate there as well as having a greater influence on the direction that such things as resort fees and games take. The Resorts World should add some more competition to these casinos because, unlike the SLS, it should stand on equal footing as a major Hotel and Resort Casino and will hopefully use its position in the market as a new casino to incorporate some player-friendly policies and games forcing the other Strip Casinos to follow suit in order to compete.
Alternatively, all Green Chip or less Blackjack might be 6:5 there, too.

Q: Set the ContentPresenter's content color, when the content is not a text Let's say that My ContentPresenter contains a Viewbox with Paths inside instead of some text, how do I change the Color of those Paths from the Content Presenter
Example
I have this ResourceDictionary :
    <ResourceDictionary xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml">
            <Viewbox>
              <Grid>
                <Grid Name="backgroundGrid" Width="48" Height="48" Visibility="Collapsed" />
                <Path Data="M19.833,0L32.5,0 32.5,19.833999 52.334,19.833999 52.334,32.500999 32.5,32.500999 32.5,52.333 19.833,52.333 19.833,32.500999 0,32.500999 0,19.833999 19.833,19.833999z"
Stretch="Uniform"
Fill="?????"
Width="26" Height="26" Margin="0,0,0,0" RenderTransformOrigin="0.5,0.5">
                  <Path.RenderTransform>
                    <TransformGroup>
                      <TransformGroup.Children>
                        <RotateTransform Angle="0" />
                        <ScaleTransform ScaleX="1" ScaleY="1" />
                      </TransformGroup.Children>
                    </TransformGroup>
                  </Path.RenderTransform>
                </Path>
              </Grid>
            </Viewbox>
        </ResourceDictionary>

and I have the ContentPresenter in a ControlTemplate of let's say a Button:
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type local:IconButton}">
       <Border>
          <Grid>
              <ContentPresenter x:Name="ContentPresenterIcon" ContentSource="Icon"/>
          </Grid>
       </Border>
...

Assigning Icon to the ContentSource property just means that the ContentPresenter is having that Viewbox as a content.
What should I put in the Fill property of the Path Element, and which property should I change in the ContentPresenter to make its value propagate to the Fill property ?
Hope I was clear.
Update :
I desperately tried to set the ContentPresenter's TextElement.Foreground property and "Relativesource" bind the Path's Fill property to it, but that predictably didn't work.
<ResourceDictionary xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml">
                <Viewbox>
                  <Grid>
                    <Grid Name="backgroundGrid" Width="48" Height="48" Visibility="Collapsed" />
                    <Path Data="M19.833,0L32.5,0 32.5,19.833999 52.334,19.833999 52.334,32.500999 32.5,32.500999 32.5,52.333 19.833,52.333 19.833,32.500999 0,32.500999 0,19.833999 19.833,19.833999z"
    Stretch="Uniform"
    Fill="{Binding Path=TextElement.Foreground, RelativeSource={RelativeSource AncestorType={x:Type ContentPresenter}}}"
    Width="26" Height="26" Margin="0,0,0,0" RenderTransformOrigin="0.5,0.5">
                      <Path.RenderTransform>
                        <TransformGroup>
                          <TransformGroup.Children>
                            <RotateTransform Angle="0" />
                            <ScaleTransform ScaleX="1" ScaleY="1" />
                          </TransformGroup.Children>
                        </TransformGroup>
                      </Path.RenderTransform>
                    </Path>
                  </Grid>
                </Viewbox>

<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type local:IconButton}">
           <Border>
              <Grid>
                  <ContentPresenter x:Name="ContentPresenterIcon" TextElement.Foreground="Red" ContentSource="Icon"/>
              </Grid>
           </Border>
    ...

A: Your second attempt should have worked. The reason it didn't is because you are binding to an Attached Property.
Attached property binding requires special syntax. The output window in visual studio probably tells you that the path could not be found. This should work:
Fill="{Binding Path=(TextElement.Foreground), RelativeSource={RelativeSource AncestorType={x:Type ContentPresenter}}}"

The only change is the parenthesis around the Path string. For more information, see WPF Attached Property Data Binding.

nCube definition
The Registrar General's Decennial Supplements provided extremely detailed information on causes of death between 1851-60 and 1901-10, but unfortunately used five different classifications of cause of death to cover those six decades. Graham Mooney, of Johns Hopkins University, has therefore defined a simplified cause of death classification to which we have converted the original data. Inevitably, many causes have had to be grouped into an enlarged 'other' category, but we are still able to consistently...
identify the main epidemic diseases. In order to include all decades, we ignore gender and combine the age groups 75 to 84 and 85 upwards, even where the original report separated them.
