Probable

A Large, Homogeneous Group of Exposure Units To facilitate the prediction of the probable loss through use of the law of large numbers, it is essential that there be a large number of similar units exposed to the same peril If a company can insure only ten houses against damage by fire, very little prediction is possible

Gentle readers, please sympathize with me, for I, like a man who’s been dining exclusively on centipedes, have the bitter taste of defeat in my mouth. That this humiliation and defeat arrived, to twist a metaphor, at the hands of nothing more sinister than a pig’s foot, has only served to exacerbate these feelings of embarrassment and self-loathing. Those of you [...]

The 2008 Torneo Apertura superclásico kicks off in a little under six hours, but already the starting lineups are known, bar any last-minute calls of bluff or injuries in the warmup.

Probable results computed using the ELORatings (this tends to generate a lot of draws). I choose the result that will exchange the smallest amount of points between the two teams. New Zealand should climb almost 60 places to 52nd. If results go their way, they could break into the top 50 or even improve on their best ever ranking - 47th in August 2002. Probable October 2008 rank - Team -

Probable results computed using the ELORatings (this tends to generate a lot of draws). Watch out for New Zealand - they could break into the top 50 (climbing more than 50 places) with two wins against New Caledonia. ELO has them with one win (at home) and a draw (away). Probable October 2008 rank - Team - Probable 2008 points - +/- Ranking - +/- Points 1 Spain 1643 0 78

Point totals for teams from the top 20 of the October 2007 ranking should be 100% correct. For the others, there's the issue of historical rankings published before July 2006. There are only 13 matches left to play this month (or more - I'm not sure about the Independence Cup taking place in Indonesia), so the top 50 is pretty much set in stone with the exceptions of Iran and Saudi Arabia.

All the attention goes to hypertension because it's linked to stroke, heart attack and a number of other conditions. Many seniors have to watch out for high blood pressure.

LONDON - A RECESSION in the United States remains a probability, former Federal Reserve chairman Alan Greenspan said in an interview published on Tuesday. Speaking to the Financial Times from Washington, Mr Greenspan said he believed 'there is a greater than 50 per cent probability of recession'. He noted, however, that 'that probability has receded a little'. The likelihood of a severe recession

A few weeks ago, Algeria warned its Tunisian and Moroccan neighbors of a possible mega terror attack prepared by Al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb. Interestingly the newsletter The Croissant (subscriptions available for a small fee) reported a few days ago that an Algerian, aboard a powerful 4X4, sped on the esplanade of the Mosque of Hassan II in Casablanca. He managed to overcome all obstacles limiting traffic, causing a real panic. The Moroccan security forces thought it was a suicide attack. This...(read more)

As our first match against Punjab Kings is coming close, it is time we picked out the most probable XI for our team. Here goes my predictions: 1. Mathew Hayden/Stephen Fleming (I would have loved to play Stephen Fleming in all the matches. But the "4 overseas player rule" does not allow that to happen. But Stephen Fleming's Contribution during team meetings is very crucial for the success of the team. Fleming's role - Internal Consultant (Both Strategic & Tactical) to the team) 2. Vidyut S/ A Srikkanth (Vidyut has been an opener for Tamil Nadu for a much longer time and also he can roll his hands. So I prefer him. Though A Srikkanth is an explosive batsman and is a very good cover for both the openers) 3. Badrinath (He would be the one who holds the innings together + My c

Galveston County District Attorney Kurt Sistrunk is going before the grand jury today to seek capital murder charges against the mother and step-father of little two-year-old Riley Sawyers. Riley Ann SawyersKimberly Trenor and Royce Zeigler are being held on the lesser charges of injury to a child and tampering with evidence, their bonds, $350,000.When the couple was arrested Nov. 24, they were not charged with capital murder because the investigation was still under way and DNA evidence had not yet confirmed whether Trenor’s daughter was the body investigators were trying to identify, Sistrunk said. [1]The difference between the Injury to a Child charge and Capital Murder is intent.Kimberly TrenorIn a Capital Murder case, which the death penalty can be sought, prosecutors have to prove the defendants did "knowingly and intentionally" kill their victim.

An unauthorized disclosure on 7 September that revealed the existence of an Al Qaeda Internet-based communications network received extensive coverage at the time. In the context of earlier reporting by The Jamestown Foundation (see Terrorism Monitor, August 16), however, the 7 September leak points also to the likelihood of a much closer working relationship between AQ and another Jihadist group - the London-headquartered Hizb ut Tahrir (Party of Liberation) (HT) - than had been known previously....(read more)

Britannica Blog article link  War with Iran: Probable (& Disastrous)Ervand Abrahamian - October 9th, 2007 - (Forum: Target Iran?)The U.S and Iran have been moving towards a head-on collision for the last seven years. The expected collision will most probably take place in the final months of the Bush administration. The course has been set by two irreconcilable goals. Iran is adamant about gaining full mastery over nuclear technology — especially uranium enrichment. The U.S. is equally adamant that Iran should not be allowed this mastery on the grounds that the latter’s real intentions are not to use such knowledge for peaceful purposes — as Iran claims — but for weaponry.President Bush has also assured the Israeli Prime Minister that he intends to resolve the “Iranian problem” before leaving the White House. Since he has shown little interest in pursuing a diplomatic route, one can conclude that he is aiming to resolve the issue through the military one. In 2003, he turned

Wide receivers James Jones and Greg Jennings, who have both been battling hamstring injuries, practiced on Friday and will be listed as probable on the injury report this afternoon. Jones tweaked his hamstring during practice on Thursday. Jennings has yet to play in a regular-season game, but is expected to start against the San Diego Chargers. Running back Vernand Morency was limited and is doubtful. Reported by Greg A. Bedard, Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel <<<<Hotwire>>>> Brett Favre and the Green Bay Packers are off to a surprising 2-0 start. Driver and Jones have taken most of the work load, while Jennings has been slow to recover from a hamstring injury. I wouldn’t expect too much production from Jennings.

pay per click advertising Tehran, May 21, Taliya News – Head of one of companies that have signed contracts with Industries Ministry for production of mobile sets in Iran said here Saturday, “If we would manage to bring Nokia to Iran we have not only succeeded to manufacture mobile sets, but also gained a reputation for Iran that major brands involved in complicated technologies can work in Iran. According to ISNA, Mahdi Afrasiabi speaking on process of mobile set production inside our country, said, “This project is proceeding successfully and Nokia representatives have twice inspected our factory’s machinery so far, having approved of the scientific and technical competence of our technicians and engineers.” He added, “Of course, there are certain concerns for such major Western brands, and although we initially contacted Nokia and Ericsson, the latter company rejected our proposal at the beginning, which is why we are pursuing the proposal with Nokia.” More…

Yes, that’s Britney Spears in the passenger’s seat of that Mercedes being swamped by photographers and paparazzi. And people wonder why Britney is “going crazy.” People need to leave the girl alone.

Ever wondered why you still haven't got any girlfriend at this point in your life? That's one question most eternally single male ask themselves but end up still wondering. Unfortunately, there is rarely a good and immediate answer to the problem. And as one single male who attempted to solve the riddle of unwanted but perpetual chastity of most hopelessly-love-deprived male through a mathematical equation puts it; "Many men try to reason their way through the dilemma nonetheless, often reaching a series of ridiculous explanations, each more self-deprecating than the last: "Is it because I'm too shy, and not aggressive enough? Is it my opening lines? Am I a boring person? Am I too fat or too thin? Or am I simply ugly and completely unattractive to women?'”At one point in my life, I also tried to ask that question myself, brooding at times during idle times. Unlike the author whom I quoted though, I never resorted to other creatively ingenious ways to solve my dilemma but e

Probable Cause is Theresa Schwegel's follow-up to her Edgar Award-winning novel, Officer Down. I was not much impressed by Officer Down but I did enjoy that one enough to give it a rating of 3.0 and the implied recommendation that fans of detective fiction give it a shot. I'm sorry to say that I can't do that with Schwegel's second novel.Schwegel manages to tell a fairly interesting story about a group of Chicago cops who are just "bent" enough to force rookie policemen to commit burglaries on their behalf as part of the initiation into their police brotherhood. But in the process of telling that story she is unable to create even one character that is particularly likable or even wholly believable. Even the ultimate hero of the piece, Ray Weiss, remains pretty much a stereotypical womanizer of a young policeman despite Schwegel's attempts to make him sympathetic by having him carry the burden of parents who are disappointed in his life choices.But the biggest failure of the b

Over the past 3 weeks I’ve realized the increasing number of times I actually use the words “probably”, “most likely” and everything that falls under the “I’m not THAT sure” category.
