BB's Jazz, Blues and Soups is St. Louis' Premiere Blues house. The 700 South Broadway building which houses BB's was known as Phil's Hotel as late as 1969 and has a colorful past.

Since its original construction in the mid 1800's, in an area then known as "Frenchtown" with a further 3 story addition at the turn of the century, the location has been used as a home, boarding house, reception hall, merchantile, millinery, transient hotel, bar, diner, and a House of Ill Repute with 37 rooms between its 2nd and 3rd floors. More BB's history here.

We're a new company that's been around for a long time. We're brimming with enthusiasm. We're stoked about our staff, our City's music and culture, the food, the drinks, the artworks, the memorabilia, and the whole overall operation.

Jamo has introduced the i300, a stand-alone powered subwoofer/satellite speaker system that turns an iPod into the heart of a home entertainment system.

Comprising a iPod control dock, an active subwoofer and two compact satellite loudspeakers, the package comes with a long-range radio frequency remote control to control the system from across the room.

The control dock is also fitted with an extra auxiliary input on its rear panel to hook up to a computer, portable DVD player or games console.

The speakers supplied with the system are magnetically-shielded boxes - finished in high gloss white - that can be wall or table-top mounted. They feature a precision-engineered 76mm/3in co-axial driver that delivers accurate pin-point imaging, according to Jamo.

The subwoofer (which also has a high gloss white finish) has a 150 Watt high-efficiency Class D digital amplifier powering an 6.5in bass driver and 2 x 75 Watt for the satellite speakers, all housed in a solid but compact reflex-ported enclosure.

The main roulette strategy page analyzes the so朿alled roulette wheel bias. If there is such a thing as the wheel bias, then a few roulette numbers will be drawn significantly more often than the other numbers. Also, each roulette number will be immediately followed by a limited universe of other roulette numbers. The latter parameter is known at this web site as number pairing. It is common in lottery (you can read here about the 'wonder grid' in lotto games).

A pairing in roulette is a roulette number AND the number drawn in the very next spin. In the case of a consecutive hit, a roulette number is followed by itself. Let it be said that each roulette number can be followed by itself with an equal frequency to a pairing consisting of a different number. The probability is the same.

I noticed, however, that a repeat is less frequent than a heterogeneous pairing. I included two statistical reports based on real casino roulette spins. I analyzed 1968 real spins recorded at the Hamburg, Germany casino, February 1 ?6, 2000. File name: HAMB00.DAT freeware from my FTP download site. By the way, that file is a precious item now. I have been unable to access the casino database again. My requests for real roulette spins have remained unanswered by the casinos. I doubt that the casinos will make their roulette databases available again! We need go to the casinos, stand near a roulette marquee, and painstakingly record every spin, for many hours.I downloaded the results for one table or wheel (#1) for the entire month of January 2006. File name: HAMB0106.WH1; 7990 lines (draws or spins) in text format; the last draw of 31 January 2006 is at the very top of the file (line #1). The file contains roulette numbers (spins) only, one number per line. The casino results files have also other data, such as frequency and various statistics. The files also have dashed lines (----) which probably represent dealer changes.

HAMB0106.WH1 represents the best recording format: table by table. Do not mix the spins from different roulette wheels in the same file.

See the roulette number pairings reports for the HAMB0106.WH1 spins file. The first report is for the most recent 1000 spins: approximately 4 days worth of spinning or January 27 to 31, 2006. The second report analyzes all 7990 roulette spins for the month of January 2006. I do not see any bias according to the normal probability rule.

There is a number of 54 consecutive repeats in 1968 spins. That amounts to about 27 roulette numbers in 1000 spins. There are 37 roulette numbers in the single杬ero game (as in Hamburg, Germany). It means that a few roulette numbers did not hit in consecutive spins for the duration of a 1000杝pin session. But each roulette number was followed in the very next spin by a different number at least 2 times in 1000 spins.

For example, the roulette number 0 was followed by itself (0 again) in the very next draw (spin) once in 1968 spins. Roulette number 0 was followed by roulette #1 in the very next draw (spin) 6 times in 1968 spins.

Roulette number 1 was followed by itself (1 again) in the very next draw (spin) once in 1968 spins. Roulette number 1 was followed by roulette #29 in the very next draw (spin) 5 times in 1968 spins.

Roulette number 5 was followed by itself (5 again) in the very next draw (spin) 0 times in 1968 spins. Roulette number 5 was followed by roulette #21 in the very next draw (spin) 4 times in 1968 spins.

Even if there are clear discrepancies, they are within 3 standard deviations from the norm. Therefore the statistical data is still compliant with the rule of the normal probability. The discrepancy should have been two times wider to turn into suspicious bias; e.g. from 0 to 12.

Even if within the normal probability rule, the bias could burn the casino out. A roulette player could play the top 10?2 pairings of each roulette number. For example, every time number 0 (the green) was drawn, the player would play the following 10 roulette numbers: 1 15 25 9 3 20 8 30 32 33. They followed roulette number 0 in the next spin a total of 35 times out of 61 hits. That represents 57% of all cases when the roulette number 0 hit. It comes down to playing only the top pairings of each spin and winning 50% of the time! Play 12 numbers ?and hit once, miss once. The total of 24 units in cost yields a win of 36 units straight杣p. That would be 12 units net win in two spins; or an average of 6 units in net profit in every spin! A profit of 600 units per 100杝pin sessions...

The problem is we don't know IN ADVANCE which numbers will be the top 12 pairings for each roulette number. The skips of the pairings themselves must be determined as well. Only a computer program can determine the skips in real杢ime ?mission impossible inside a casino!

Otherwise, of course, the roulette wheel could be extremely biased due to wear. We analyzed the previous 1000 roulette spins (recorded by hand!) and we are certain of the bias. Meanwhile the casino executives have no clue of such bias! In my opinion, that is NOT a realistic expectation. The casinos always analyze the roulette spins and look for possible biases due to wear. I am not sure they perform pairing analysis 'cuz I have not given anybody my specialized roulette software. Still, there are several statistical methods to hunt wheel biases.

Why do the casinos refuse to make their roulette spins databases available to the public? Just a rhetorical question, kokodrilo?

Come next fall, the two vacant booths at the Lobdell food court may offer fast food such as hot dogs or burgers, said Director of Campus Dining Richard D. Berlin. Other options would include Asian food or, less likely, the return of the salad bar.

Until recently, fast food was available at a Burger King in Lobdell, but when independent vendors replaced food options catered by Sodexho last fall, the burgers and fries disappeared.

Dining is also considering opening up a Vietnamese and Thai cuisine stall under chef Mai Pham’s popular lemon grass restaurant. “This will ensure that MIT continues to have a diverse array of food options from around the globe,” Berlin said.

Another possibility would be bringing back the salad bar, but Berlin said prior to its closing last fall, the salad bar drew only a small percentage of Lobdell’s income. “One possible reason for wanting it reopened is the misconception that it is the only place to get fresh, healthy food,” Berlin said. “But the other establishments currently running at Lobdell all serve fresh healthy food.”

At present, plans are also underway to introduce a Dunkin’ Donuts shop in place of the Alpine Bagel Cafe on the first floor of the Student Center. “Our decisions are made with every consideration to feedback from the student body,” Berlin said. “Popular food stalls do good business, and if independent vendors are interested in moving their shop elsewhere, it is usually a clear indication that the shop is not sufficiently popular.”

Campus Dining also considers feedback from the Undergraduate Association Dining Committee, the Campus Dining Advisory Board and Dormitory Council.

Dining also conducts surveys to determine popular student requests. The Anna’s Taqueria in the Student Center was opened up last year because such a survey indicated strong demand.

LONG BRANCH — The rebuilt beach stretching from Sea Bright to Manasquan Inlet is among the top restored strands in America, beach advocates said Monday as heavy surf pounded the city's sands.

"It's one of the things that makes New Jersey a good coastal state — the beach," said Robert Killeen of Red Bank, a 77-year-old retiree who was walking along the city's promenade after a news conference.

"Overall, it's a great asset" to the state, Killeen said.

The estimated $210 million beach replenishment project, which began in 1994, has covered 18 of the 21 miles south of Sandy Hook through Manasquan, according to Army Corps of Engineers officials.

And the beaches have lasted longer than initial expectations.

Leaders of the nonprofit Jersey Shore Partnership, along with federal, state, county and city officials, gathered on the city's promenade to talk about the award from the American Shore and Beach Preservation Association.

Other award-winning restored beaches this year include: Assateague Island National Seashore, Maryland; Captiva Island, Florida; Gulf Shores/Orange Beach, Alabama; Pinellas County beaches, Florida; and Rehoboth Beach and Dewey Beach beaches, Delaware, according to the association.

This is the fifth year the group has handed out Top Restored Beach Awards.

And the Sea Bright to Manasquan Inlet project is the largest restored beach in the nation, the association said.

But some of the replenished beaches, including areas in Long Branch, Monmouth Beach, Spring Lake and Sea Girt, need to be renourished, and federal funding is limited, according to Anthony Ciorra, chief of the corps' New York District civils works project branch.

Long Branch "almost certainly" will get a new infusion of sand with the $3 million in federal funding available for the Monmouth County project this year, Ciorra said.

The restored beach has had "a huge impact on the city socially and economically," Mayor Adam Schneider said.

Ciorra said the proposed fiscal 2007 federal budget contains no funding for the Monmouth County project at the moment.
