Although though he caught an impressive 73 passes for 833 yards last season, even more was expected of Michael Campanaro in 2012.So far, Wake Forest's junior flanker has delivered.Campanaro enters today's rivalry game against Duke leading the Atlantic Coast Conference and ranked second nationally with 36 catches. He's second in ACC receiving yardage (421) and has scored four touchdowns - three receiving and one rushing - in four games. At the current pace, he'd break ex-Demon Deacon Kenny Moore's single-season ACC record of 98 receptions by year's end.
Campanaro's play has been so exciting that it's inspired a YouTube video.The performance is just what Wake Forest needed from Campanaro after the early departure to the NFL of All-ACC receiver Chris Givens. Givens led the league in receiving yards per game (102.3) and was second with 83 catches last season."When Chris decided to leave and go to the NFL, I was excited for him because he's one of my good friends,'' Campanaro said. "But I was also excited because I was going to be stepping into that No. 1 role.
"In high school, I was the feature guy on offense and got the ball all the time. So I readily accept the challenge (of increased expectations).''Campanaro wasn't heavily recruited out of River Hill High School, despite delivering some of the best offensive statistics in Maryland as a senior.Working mainly at running back on offense, he rushed for 1,848 yards and scored 29 touchdowns in 2008 to earn All-Met Offensive Player of the Year honors from The Washington Post. Yet, the only schools to offer Campanaro college scholarships were North Carolina, Northwestern and Wake Forest.

Bonita Springs council moves forward on slot machine referendum
onita Springs officials continue to hammer out an agreement with the owners of the dog track that could bring millions of dollars to the city while guaranteeing the track development rights if a referendum passes Nov. 6 and legislators allow slot machines at pari-mutuels.The City Council voted 7-0 Wednesday to move the proposed agreement to a second hearing and vote at its 5:30 p.m. Oct. 3 meeting at City Hall.
The city would receive 1.5 percent of monthly revenues from Naples-Fort Myers Greyhound Racing & Poker, and 2.5 percent of revenues if they exceed $250 million. If 795 machines generate $100 million a year, the city of Bonita would receive $1.5 million a year. Lee County has an agreement with the track in which it would also receive 1.5 percent of annual revenues.
"I think we've got to up the negotiations," resident Ron Pure said at Wednesday's first public hearing. "We're going to have to suffer the negative consequences along with the positive stuff they bring to the city."Izzy Havenick, whose family has owned the track on Bonita Beach Road since 1972, said they agreed to a most favored nation clause in negotiations with City Manager Carl Schwing and City Attorney Audrey Vance. That entitles the city to renegotiate the terms if another party offers a better deal.

Intel Betting Machines Will Need Its Chips Rather Than Web
More than a third of the 15 billion devices connected to the Web by 2015 will be non-standard computing machines, according to Ton Steenman, Intel's vice president for embedded devices. They will generate a flood of data that can't be processed in remote computing centers, and will need powerful semiconductors to analyze the information.
Intel's fastest-growing business is selling server chips to cloud services providers, yet computing over the Internet won't be the answer in every situation, Steenman said. That opens up an opportunity as demand shifts away from personal computers toward smartphones and tablets, areas where Intel has struggled to win orders, he said.
Intel, which trimmed its third-quarter sales prediction last week amid a slump in PC demand, will get $2 billion of its estimated $53 billion in revenue this year from chips used in so-called embedded systems, he said."If you look at the growth of the network and the growth of storage, the amount of data is far outpacing that," Steenman said at a company conference in San Francisco.

This Coke machine has an Intel Core i7 processor and can take your picture
Intel today showed off a futuristic Coca-Cola vending machine that has a fancy PC-like microprocessor inside. The vending machine has an Intel Core i7 microprocessor — the kind that appears in high-end computers — to run its various functions like dispensing a bottle of Coke, playing videos on a large touchscreen, and even taking a picture of the person buying the drink (Gyratory crusher manufacturer).
Perlmutter said the 46-inch video screen has full 1080p high-definition playback and a microphone. It has a Wi-Fi wireless network, a QR Code reader, and an old-fashioned money slot and dispenser. crushing equipment Manufacturers,In case you want to watch a movie on the Coke machine, it's entirely possible.
Perlmutter said that the machine can use its technology to collect demographic information about who is buying Coke bottles in various locations.The machine is already in use in markets such as South America, Perlmutter said. I don't suppose this is Intel's secret weapon against Apple's iPad.Intel executive vice president Dadi Perlmutter showed off the machine at his keynote speech at the Intel Developer Forum in San Francisco.

Debunking slot machine myths
Nobody worries about whether a machine will go cold if it senses hot coins fresh from the hopper, since hardly any games use coins anymore. And players have gotten used to rewards systems — I don't remember the last time I was asked if using your card brought lower paybacks on the games.Game programming is no different whether the crowds are sparse or the casino is packed.
There are more jackpots paid in big crowds, but that's just because more people are playing. For any individual player, the chances of hitting a jackpot are the same in a packed house as they are when nobody else is playing.The machine keeps paying the percentage determined by the normal odds of the game. Over time, big jackpots, hot streaks and cold streaks all will fade into statistical insignificance.
Programmers don't tell a machine it has to pay out a certain percentage. They set the odds of the game so that repeated play will lead naturally to that percentage.That's called a “secondary decision,” and it's not legal in commercial casinos in the United States. Early computerized slots manufactured by Universal selected an outcome from a pool of all possible winning outcomes, along with a weighted number of losers.

New Coke machine in the Union spouts 130 different flavor options
The new Coca-Cola Freestyle machine has a selection of 130 different flavors of soda, all of which students can mix and match to their liking.The process of making the drink is to pick a base flavor such as Coke,Vertical shaft impact crusher, diet Coke or Sprite, and then add a fruit flavor, said assistant general manager at the Union Chad Carper.
"There are all kinds of different flavors people can get," Carper said. "It can get to an almost infinite number of flavors because people can get their soda and mix raspberry with Sprite and then mix that with orange Coke. Mobile crusher People's drink really depends on how much time they want to spend at the machine."Sara Meyer, the marketing director for BGSU dining, said the new Coke machine hasn't had any advertising yet, but the usage has been averaging at about 120 cups a day.
"This isn't a huge number, but I think once students realize it is there, and how fun it is to use, the numbers will increase," Meyer said. "We are always working to provide what the students want. If we see that the numbers using it and the demand is significant, we will evaluate at that time about whether to get more machines on campus or not."
