MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA, December 24, 2010 (Press-News.org) With the launch of their new live casino platform, gaming software developer Playtech have really managed to blur the line between online and terrestrial casino gaming.
Live casinos are a developing online niche combining real dealers and gaming equipment with online playability. The games are conducted in a purpose built dealer studio and video streamed real time to players' computers along with a linked bet interface to allow for remote participation.
The playing cards, roulette wheels, roulette balls and the dealers are all real, alleviating the need to rely on computer graphics or random number generators to determine game outcomes.
The last year or so has seen an appreciable improvement in the quality of various live casino offerings, and Playtech's new game range is very impressive. A newly renovated Latvian based dealer studio replicates a plush high stakes gaming room...it looks amazing, and the dealers within it are certainly not out of place. All the action is captured in high definition, and delivered to players as highly customizable video stream to bet to.

Boy or girl? Australians think we shouldn't choose
2010-12-23
Most Australians do not approve of IVF or abortion for sex-selection purposes, and most do not think a hypothetical blue or pink pill to select the sex of a child should be legal, a new study has found.
The study, led by Dr Rebecca Kippen from the School of Population Health at the University of Melbourne, analysed responses from more than 2,500 people participating in the Australian Survey of Social Attitudes, combined with a series of in-depth parental interviews.
The survey found that 69 per cent of respondents disapproved the use of IVF for sex selection, with ...
Cornstarch might have ended the Gulf spill agony sooner
2010-12-23
On May 25th, 2010, the online arm of Upstream, a newspaper for the international oil and gas industry, reported that British Petroleum had started top-kill procedures on the Macondo well in the Gulf of Mexico.
"The company said that the operation, which will pump heavy mud down the wellbore in an attempt to gain control of the oil flow and ultimately kill the well, began at 1 pm CST," Upstream reported.
The article continued: "Earlier BP Chief Tony Hayward gave the top-kill procedure a 60 percent to 70 percent chance of success."

Eating less healthy fish may contribute to America's stroke belt
2010-12-23
ST. PAUL, Minn. –People living in the "stroke belt" states eat more fried fish than people living in the rest of the country, which may contribute to the high rate of death from stroke in those states, according to a study published in the December 22, 2010, online issue of Neurology®, the medical journal of the American Academy of Neurology.
Studies have shown that the omega-3 fatty acids in fish, especially fatty fish, may reduce the risk of stroke. Research has shown that frying fish leads to the loss of the natural fatty acids.
The study also found that African-Americans ...
Most common adult brain cancer linked to gene deletion, Stanford doctors say
2010-12-23
STANFORD, Calif. — A study fast-tracked for online publication Dec. 22 in the New England Journal of Medicine has identified an important gene deletion in up to one of every four cases of glioblastoma, the most common adult brain cancer. This deletion contributes to tumor development, promotes resistance to therapy and considerably worsens a patient's survival prospects.
The deletion of the gene, known as NFKBIA, triggers biochemical processes similar to those resulting from a better-known aberration common in glioblastomas: alteration of the epidermal growth factor receptor, ...
Tau disrupts neural communication prior to neurodegeneration
2010-12-23
A new study is unraveling the earliest events associated with neurodegenerative diseases characterized by abnormal accumulation of tau protein. The research, published by Cell Press in the December 22 issue of the journal Neuron, reveals how tau disrupts neuronal communication at synapses and may help to guide development of therapeutic strategies that precede irreversible neuronal degeneration.
Tau normally contributes to the supportive framework of proteins in the cell. It is well established that abnormal tau sometimes clumps into neuron-damaging filamentous deposits ...
Arsenic agent shuts down 2 hard-to-treat cancers in animal experiments
2010-12-23
Washington, DC – Researchers at the Georgetown Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center, a part of Georgetown University Medical Center, have found that an arsenic-based agent already FDA-approved for a type of leukemia may be helpful in another hard-to-treat cancer, Ewing's Sarcoma (ES). The research, based on animal studies, also suggests the drug might be beneficial in treating medulloblastoma, a highly malignant pediatric brain cancer.
In the December 22 issue of the Journal of Clinical Investigation, the investigators describe how years of research has uncovered a common ...
Many cancer cells found to have an 'eat me' signal in Stanford study
2010-12-23
STANFORD, Calif. — Researchers at the Stanford University School of Medicine have discovered that many cancer cells carry the seeds of their own destruction — a protein on the cell surface that signals circulating immune cells to engulf and digest them. On cancer cells, this "eat me" signal is counteracted by a separate "don't eat me" signal that was described in an earlier study. The two discoveries may lead to better cancer therapies, and also solve a mystery about why a previously reported cancer therapy is not more toxic.
In the study to be published Dec. 22 in Science ...
What sex are you?
2010-12-23
Sex in mammals is genetically determined. In humans, females have two X chromosomes, while males have one X and one Y chromosome. However, some individuals are born with male genitalia despite having two X chromosomes, a condition known as XX male sex reversal. A team of researchers, led by Paul Thomas, University of Adelaide, Australia, has now determined that overexpression of the Sox3 gene in mice causes frequent XX male sex reversal. The clinical relevance of this was highlighted by the discovery of genomic rearrangements in the regulatory region of the human SOX3 gene ...
