Asia Is a Paradise for Betting Cheats Asia, which continues to have a freewheeling gambling scene compared to Europe, is the center of the illegal betting on the UEFA matches. In Europe, gamblers often have to identify themselves, wagers are frequently limited to three-figure euro sums, and high-tech analysis applications like Betradar can sniff out suspicious movements of money in seconds. But Asia remains a paradise for cheats. Of course, there are also betting limits in Asia, but these are commonly the equivalent of 30,000 to 40,000 and punters are often allowed to place multiple wagers. So-called agents usually place the bets for shadowy moneymen calling from mobile phones in Europe and elsewhere, obscuring the origin of many wagers. There are also codes to inform the agents that a match has been bought. One of them is: "The valves are open." UEFA's dossier for Europol makes very clear the stakes involved: "People manipulating a match can easily bet 1 million to 2 million per match and make a similar profit of close to 1million to 2 million. For bigger tournaments the amount can be significantly higher. It's our strong suspicion that agents collecting bets for the Asian betting companies are often playing a major role in manipulating matches." Betting fraud isn't nothing new to Europe's soccer leagues, which have seen more than 20 major scandals since the year 2000. The Italian soccer federation was forced to level monetary fines against 3 top clubs in the summer of 2006, deducting points against them and even relegating one to a lower division. Six players were banned for several months and the mastermind was ejected from the sport for three years.In Germany, the Croatian betting kingpin Ante Sapina and the corrupt referee he bought off Robert Hoyzer both landed in jail for manipulating matches. Czech soccer also uncovered gambling cheats -- seven referees and three former club officials were convicted only this October for influencing matches played by top-flight club FC Synot. But frequently, investigations into such incidents never truly build any momentum. On April 18, the head of Austria's professional soccer league, Georg Pangl, received a call around one hour before kickoff of the first division match between FC Superfund Pasching and SCR Altach explaining that a betting supervisor had observed "unusual wagers on halftime bets." Pangl informed the managers of both clubs, but he refrained from filing charges with the police because "the way the match played out didn't justify it." However, a police unit reported to Austria's federal criminal investigation agency in Vienna the next day that it had "concrete indications about a possible manipulation" of the match. A few weeks later Austria's federal police received another tip-off from their colleagues. This time it concerned suspicious matches involving one Austrian second division team. But there have been no discernable repercussions from these incidents despite the fact Austria will play co-host to the European Championship next summer.The truth is, national sporting associations simply haven't been able to get very far on their own when it comes to investigating suspected betting scams and match-fixing. And UEFA realized this following the case involving the Greek club Panionios GSS FC. In December 2004, the suburban Athens club beat Georgia's FC Dinamo Tbilisi 5-2 after being trailing 0-1 at halftime. UEFA believes the match was manipulated on the basis of the starkly different performances by both teams in each half. The soccer officials also believe that "a considerable amount of the betting profit made was used to finance part of the players' salaries." The association's lawyers investigated the case for over a year. They heard the testimony of 12 people involved, including players in Greece, Italy and Georgia their inquiry took them all the way to Australia. As one UEFA official followed the trail to Serbia, he was unmistakably threatened with bodily harm. But the case never came in front of the disciplinary committee "due to a lack of substantial evidence." However, following 15 cases of possible manipulation during this summer alone, it has become clear to everyone at UEFA that "the integrity of our competitions is at stake," according to a leading official at the association. "We can't touch this network with our regulations and choice of sanctions, we have to rely on international criminal prosecution."Even before going to Europol, UEFA representatives had sought contact with police agencies. In October, there was meeting to exchange information with officials from Germany's federal investigators for organized crime. Following the meeting in The Hague, UEFA hopes Europol will add a new category on betting manipulation in professional sports into its Organized Crime Threat Assessment, which sets international policing priorities each year. Officials at Europol are particularly interested in the topic of money laundering and there's no doubt that gambling fraud is the perfect way to put money from the drug trade, prostitution, or weapons deals into circulation while adding a tidy profit on the top at the same time. The latest blow by Interpol against the illegal betting scene in Asia confirmed seems to confirm these assumptions. In October and November, investigators arrested more than 400 suspects following a five-month operation. They confiscated almost half a million euros, as well as computers, bank cards, mobile phones and cars, and closed almost 300 illegal bookie operations. Interpol announced from its headquarters in Lyon, France two weeks ago that Operation SOGA -- for Soccer Gambling -- had greatly reduced the influence of organized criminal gangs in Asia. Closer to home, UEFA is particularly concerned about Eastern Europe. Most of the clubs on the list thought to be involved in match-fixing come from Bulgaria, Georgia, Serbia, Croatia, Albania, Macedonia, Bosnia-Herzegovina and the Baltic states. It was the soccer associations from these countries that helped the new UEFA President Michel Platini unseat the longtime incumbent Lennart Johansson in January. At the time, the Frenchman Platini had promised to increase eastern clubs' access to the Champions League. "It's exactly these people that UEFA now has to deal with," says a police official familiar with the case. "They have no other choice."

Beat the Streak Report: Wednesday, May 4
Well, well, well, look who finally jumped on the bandwagon.
Dodgers outfielder/lip-balm pitchman Andre Ethier was the top plantain yesterday for the first time since April 24, advancing 14.5 percent of Streakers one day closer to living out their own personal $5.6 million fantasies.
We're thinking private island retreat accessible only by helicopter or jet ski, with a fully operational water park on site. Oh, and a 24/7 make-your-own omelet station. That should be doable for under $5 mill, no?
The extra $600K is for a scientist to invent an ice cream that won't melt while we enjoy it on the white-sand beach of said island. We could then patent the ice cream recipe and lease it out to other online contest winners for use on their own private islands. That's called "investing." You'll learn about it when you're older, Streakers.
Until then, we offer the steady growth portfolio of blue-chip, bear-market, dividend-payin' goodness below.

When is the hitting streak going to end? I hope Zambrano pitches a fantastic game today. All hitting streaks must come to an end and it could be the end of Ethier's today. Yes he hits Zambrano well but he may not get a hit today. Ethier has been extremely luck and today might be the day that is his luck finally runs out. It's crazy how lucky he has been but that is what happens during a hitting streak. Also I think today is the day for a massive reset. The more people that pick Ethier and if he goes 0 fer it will happen. I just have to hope that it happens today and the hitting streak ends.
Due to his high #s vs Big-Z, Ethier may be very-well picked today. He's a sinker ball thrower. If CHC can keep Ethier's attempts within the infield or fly outs, Big-Z can end the streak today. If not, look at: Friday a lefty/lefty matchup but not a great lefty. Saturday a righty/lefty matchup with a very good righty. I'm thinking if not today, then during the PIT series — gut hunch.
You seem to have forgotten that the night before he got a hit when it went off the glove of Hawpe. If that would of been anywhere else but Los Angeles it would of been ruled an error.
He really has not been that lucky.
You do not need 2+ hits a day to avoid luck.
Only 1 day did he get an infield single for a hit.
The rest have been line drives.
Well Vinny Zambrano threw a Gem!
Even without the streak, Ethier is still a great pick today. But I said I'd stop picking guys twice in a row, and I agree that the streak is due to end soon — so I'm going with Kemp instead!
Avoid the doubleheader today. Games lock early.
Rain looks likely for the early game; maybe a delay only. Forecast appears to have a good window to get the game in
77 19+ gamers trying to get to or stay at 20+ game streaks today. Of the 93 that tried yesterday, only 58 made it. Good news for low streakers; bad new for some of the high streakers.
Yesterday's high reset rate helped more in the upcoming
waves of 18/19 gamers by significantly reducing their numbers before they had a chance at 20. The 17-gamer wave is quite large now but they have another 3 days to be thinned out before seeing 20.
Wow, highest no selection is on page 1 with a streak of 23. That is one streak we don't have to worry about!
How do these people with high streaks forget to pick?
Most of those 23 days were early lock days so even a 12:30 lock isn't en excuse!
@lav, u know the Dodgers are going to NY next to fave the Mets. They have the Pirates starting on Monday.
Sorry, been out yesterday. Yes Vinny, thank you, I know. The lefty & righty I was talking about this weekend are NYM Niese & Young. Thinking PIT can pitch Maholm on the 11th if rotation holds true. That may be the day he loses his streak if not sooner.
I went with Andre Ethier to get to 10.
Smiley did not appear!
DODGERS RIGHTFIELDER ANDRE ETHIER WAS SCRATCHED FROM THE STARTING LINEUP WITH LEFT ELBOW INFLAMMATION. I swear of he pinch hits and doesn't get a hit.
I don't think Mattingly would use Ethier for pinch hitting with a 29 game streak on the line. That wouldn't be fair to him at all. If he does and Ethier doesn't get a hit, he will be the most hated man in LA and quite frankly all of MLB.
He could be the first person used off the bench. He was scratched with elbow inflammation so he could pinch hit.
@Vinny: Where do you get the stats and hitting streaks for hitters against certain teams and in certain ballparks?
I find that very helpful, but would like to look at those stats for all teams, not just the hitters that happen to be selected as Picks of the Day or the 2 you pick for potential picks each day.
Are you constructing those on your own or is there a website you are getting this stuff from?
Just in case anyone missed it , Ethier is now in defensively in top of 7, and will get one AB.
OR is he… wtf. My phone app says that he is in right field taking over from J Gibbons, but i just looked at yahoo boxscore and it does not have him in there.
Which makes even less sense to me is the fact that the app is powered by yahoo. But I just physically watched Jay Gibbons foul out so MY BAD.
@champion88-go to ESPN and pick a player you want to look at. Then go to their splits and pick the last 3 years. It brings up averages against righties/lefties, ballparks, teams, etc. Pretty good website. Got the info from Vinny myself.
I am Thankful that Don Mattingly did NOT pinch hit Ethier. 🙂

37 to 48 Inches Wide
Vintage & Antique Kitchen Sinks 37 - 48 Inches Wide
Few materials feel as coldly impersonal as stainless steel. Antiseptic and clinical in nature, it's easy to see how it became the most prevalent kitchen sink material in modern America. However when the hallmark of a material is its antiseptic nature, there is a sacrifice of warmth. That warmth is something a lot of us want to put back in to our kitchens. It's something we want in our homes period.
Today's kitchen isn't just a place to prepare food. It's the place where we gather, do homework, laugh, cry. With so much time spent in our kitchens, they should reflect who we are, warm, authentic, strong. Cast iron and porcelain are two of oldest sink materials in existence. Cast by hand and coated in enamel porcelain, these antique farm sinks are as far from antiseptic as one could get. Because these pieces were made by hand, no two are exactly alike. Just like you these antique sinks are one of a kind.

Rackspace Auto Scale overview
Rackspace Auto Scale automatically scales resources that are allocated to your application up or down based on user-defined need. Scaling events can be based on scaling rules that you define through your monitoring system, or on a simple schedule that you configure.
How Is Auto Scale used?
Scaling is triggered either by webhooks that are placed in monitoring services or by a schedule. An Auto Scale group, or scaling group, consists of the following items:
- Scaling group configuration: The group name, cooldown time limit, and minimum and maximum number of needed servers
- Launch configuration: When an Auto Scale event is triggered, the actions taken to create a server by specifying which image to start and which load balancer to attach to the server
- Scaling policy: Defines the action of the policy (for example, scale up by 5 servers)
- Webhook (capability-based URL): Triggers a scaling policy (for example, "When this URL is hit, execute this scaling policy.")
Use cases
- eCommerce sale Customer W has a one-day sale on its site on Monday, that is, beginning at 12:01 a.m. Monday and ending at 12:00 a.m. Tuesday. The customer predicts substantially increased traffic because of this sale. The customer can create a schedule-based policy to add 10 servers to its pool starting at 11:45 p.m. Sunday, which gives enough time for the servers to be created, configured, and added to the load balancer. The customer can create a second schedule to decrease the number of servers by 10 starting at 12:00 a.m. Tuesday morning, after the sale has ended.
- Marketing campaign Similar to the preceding use case, Customer X is running a week-long marketing campaign and expects 20 percent more traffic to their website. The campaign begins at 7:00 a.m. EST on Monday and ends at 7:00 p.m. EST on Friday. The customer can create a schedule-based policy to increase the number of servers in their pool by 20 percent starting at 6:30 a.m. EST on Monday, which gives enough time for the servers to be created, configured, and added to the load balancer. The customer can create a second schedule-based policy to decrease the number of servers by 20 percent at 7:00 p.m. EST on Friday evening.
- Known traffic fluctuations Customer Y notices that, traffic to their website decreases by 15 percent every weekend. That is, traffic decreases every Friday night and returns to normal on Monday morning. The customer can create a recurring schedule-based policy to decrease the number of servers by 15 percent starting at 6:00 p.m. every Friday. The customer can also create a second schedule-based policy to increase the number of servers by 15 percent every Monday morning at 6:00 a.m.
- Integration with Monitoring Customer Z has unpredictable traffic when publishing blog posts. The customer already monitors the environment with Nagios. The customer creates a scaling policy to add 10 percent more servers with a webhook. The customer then creates a Nagios alert to trigger the webhook when traffic exceeds 6000 requests per minute. The customer creates a second policy to return the servers to the baseline when the spike decreases.

North Las Vegas Auto Glass – What Should I know?
Simply put, this is glass that you would find in an automobile. Not too many know that in North Las Vegas there are two major forms of auto glass. Each one is used on certain windows in the automobile. Both types of auto glass are more impact resistant and stronger than regular glass.
What Are the Different Kinds Of Windshield Replacement North Las Vegas Services that are Available?
Laminated safety glass-this glass is generally used on a car's windshield. It is comprised of a couple of pieces of glass that has a slim layer of vinyl. The glass is then heated and pressed together in an autoclave, which is a type of oven. When this glass receives a tough impact it will shatter also but usually the shattered pieces will stick to the vinyl and not fall on the ground.
If the windshield just has a tiny vein or nick, the auto glass professional may be able to repair the tiny vein or nick to keep it from spreading further. The repair will generally take fewer than thirty minutes in North Las Vegas. The vein or nick is cleaned thoroughly and dried. Resin is injected and a material like Mylar is used to hold it in place. The professional cures the resin by using an ultraviolet light.
Auto Glass For Classic Cars?
In today's society, many people have a very hectic lifestyle between work and family that it is hard to get some things done during other people's workday. For example, if you come out to get into your car to go to work and find that you have a broken or cracked windshield but have a full day of meetings that are going to last past the time the car window repair shop is open. In most states it is illegal to drive with a cracked or broken windshield so what are you going to do. In this case, you need to find shop that offers mobile windshield replacement. Not all shops offer this service, which is where a technician comes to your place of business or residence and replaces the windshield. In addition to replacing a broken or cracked windshield, the technician can try to fix the crack with resin and smoothed out until you can no longer see the damage.
With a cracked windshield, there is a possibility of having a serious accident if the glass collapses before you can get it fixed. In many instances, your car insurance will cover mobile windshield replacement or repair without paying a deductible. Take the time when you get to your office, call a repair shop, and make an appointment to come to your place of business to take care of the problem.
To make sure that your insurance company will pay for this service you should call them before making an appointment to have your windshield fixed. It is very easy to submit a claim for this service. Once you have found out if the service is covered or not, let the insurance company know that you have windshield damage. There are usually no forms to fill out. Once this is done, you call and schedule an appointment to have this taken care of.
When you call the repair shop they will ask for the model and make of your car so they will bring the correct windshield to your place of business or residence to fix the problem. Once the technician arrives at your place of business, they will let you know they are there. After looking at the windshield, the first thing that the technician does is remove the outer lining around the windshield. Then special suction cups are attached to the windshield to lift it up and remove it. The broken windshield is put into the repair truck and a new one is put back in the same way it was removed. Once the windshield is replaced and set in place, your car is ready to drive. The process will usually take no more than fifteen to thirty minutes to complete.
What Should You Look For in a Windshield Service Specialist?
With 5.1% of windshields being damaged and requiring replacement each year in the United States, it is important to know what to look for in an auto glass service technician. The first thing that must be stated about choosing a qualified technician may be somewhat cliché. However, it is important to remember that you do get what you pay for, and windshield replacement is highly germane to this point.
Ask Questions
When selecting an auto glass service provider, start by simply asking questions. Find out if the technician is NGA (National Glass Association) certified to be professionally competent in his line of work. Ask if the technician uses the auto manufacturer' recommended products. Also find out if the technician has agreed to meet the Auto Glass Replacement Safety Standard (AGRSS). Above all, be sure the technician intends to provide you with sufficient information regarding all things pertinent. The technician should provide you with some dos and don'ts, such as how much time should be allowed for the bond to cure before the vehicle is safe to drive.
Although it may sound a bit excessive, make sure the windshield is perfectly centered on the vehicle. A misplaced windshield will not provide a structurally sound passenger compartment in the event of a collision or rollover. Also inspect the weather stripping to ensure it fits tightly against the vehicle's body with no bumps, waves, or gaps. If the replacement windshield on your vehicle is not completely bonded to the vehicle, the windshield may become detached in the event of an accident, leading to even greater chance of serious injury or death.

Studies in American Tort Law
Carolina Academic Press, 1999 - Law - 1044 pages
Studies in American Tort Law introduces students to -- but is careful not to overwhelm them with -- law and economics. At appropriate junctures, economic issues are explored, as in connection with the negligence balancing test and the materials on damages, nuisance, and strict liability. The goal is not to view all of tort law through an economic lens, but to employ economic analysis when it is particularly useful. This approach allows professors from the law-and-economics school to use the materials in the text as a starting point for classroom discussions; those who eschew economic analysis can allow the economic commentary to stand on its own.Several features of the book are noteworthy: first, vivid, memorable cases are used as the primary vehicle for teaching torts, but special effort is also made to integrate statutory law into the text. In particular, careful attention is paid to the reflexive process through which judge-made law and legislation influence one another. Second, the significance of liability insurance is highlighted so that students come to appreciate the critical role that insurance plays in the resolution of real cases. Third, ethics notes are included throughout the book for the purpose of sensitizing students to the difficult ethical questions that practicing lawyers face each day. Fourth, the text explorers a number of issues associated with the law and feminism movement that raised questions of social justice of concern to all lawyers.The second edition of Studies in American Tort Law is completely up-to-date. It includes 14 new principal cases, citations to almost 600 new decisions, and a rich selection of materials reflecting the numerous recentlegislative changes to the law of torts. A fully revised second edition of the teacher's manual (Teaching Torts) and student study guide (Mastering Torts) will also be available.

Daisy became a member of our family in late December 1998. Lindsey wanted a puppy and decided to use her birthday and Christmas money to purchase one…."the perfect one". For three weeks in December, we pursued puppy perfection and came up short. As Christmas week approached, I suggested we put a hold on our search until the holiday was over. Lindsey reluctantly agreed, and true to her nature, waited patiently through the holiday hoopla. A couple of days after Christmas, Lindsey, Garrett (he was in search of a ferret) and I made the rounds of pet stores and animal shelters in Cartersville, Kennesaw and Marrietta. The Perfect Puppy proved to be more difficult to find than the Perfect Ferret (Garrett had had his eye on Harley, a special silver and black ferrett in the Cartersville Pet Store, and without hesitation, proudly adopted Harley with Christmas Dollars).
Lindsey could feel what the Perfect Puppy would be like, but she couldn't really explain the feeling. "I'll know when I see it", she would say. After two full days of our post-Christmas puppy quest, we were still without a cuddly critter. Our third day would include a visit to an animal shelter in Atlanta, but first we would try the Cartersville Shelter one more time.
The shelter clerk greeted us when we entered, "You're back! I was just thinking of you because someone just brought in a whole litter of puppies. He found them on the side of the road in Rome. We haven't even bathed them yet. They look to be about four or five weeks old. Go on in and see them, you know the way."
We entered the holding area, and in a large middle-row-kennel…placed at eye level to Lindsey and Garrett, were seven tired and hungry, wet and muddy, black and white puppies. They shivered pitifully; piled one against the other for warmth and comfort. One of the pups left the pack and walked to the kennel gate, where she was face to face with Lindsey. The little puppy cocked her head to the side, raised one ear and locked blue puppy eyes on my little girl. "This is the one, Mommy. She's perfect." And she was.
Our Perfect Puppy grew to be a fierce paintball competitor (she became a living legend in the game)…she was a protective beast where the kids and I were concerned….and a gentle mother to the many stray cats and dogs discarded on Shotgun Road. She was the most beautiful doggie in the world, and I told her so each and every day. And she was brave.
Daisy's glory days began fading a few years ago, after she was hit by a careless man in our driveway. Paintball games ended, hikes with Garrett in the woods ceased. The cool waters of Two Run Creek no longer lured her. Kicking a soccer ball with Lindsey became a distant memory. Daisy was content to snooze in front of the fire while Lindsey rubbed her ears and scratched her back. We were content to have her there…her soft snoring a sound of comfort.
Today, Lindsey, Garrett and I reluctantly said Farewell to our Brave Girl, the Most Beautiful Doggie in the World. With broken hearts, we kissed our Perfect Puppy one last time and then we allowed her to sleep.
Rest well my Sweet Daisy Girl.

Google, the EU and Competition: Speaking Different Languages
Jan 29, 2013 5:00 AM PT
Back in December, European regulators warned Google that they expected concrete proposals to allay antitrust concerns by January. Well, January is almost over, and it sounds like regulators are still convinced that Google is abusing its search engine dominance.
The European Commission is also investigating Google's attempts to seek and enforce injunctions against Apple and Microsoft products that use Google-owned standard-essential patents.
In other words, Google is in Europe's crosshairs.
In this TechNewsWorld podcast, we are joined by Charles Arthur, the tech editor for The Guardian, and author of Digital Wars: Apple, Google, Microsoft and the Battle for the Internet.
We'll discuss Europe's ongoing investigations into Google, the friction caused by America's and Europe's differing notions of competition, and what -- if anything -- Google can do to appease regulators.
Download the podcast (21:48 minutes) or use the player:
Here are some excerpts:
TechNewsWorld: We've been talking about the differences between the United States and Europe, and between the FTC and the European Commission. One of the differences that I've kind of picked up on, and I wanted to get your thoughts on it, is the use of the term "competition."
The word "competition" has popped up a lot in discussing Google in Europe. For starters, it's the European Union Competition Commissioner, Joaquin Almunia, who is always quoted talking about this, and he's been in meetings with Google execs trying to hash things out. And he has used the word "competition" a lot himself. I know last fall he said, "If effective solutions were found quickly and tested successfully, competition could be restored at an early stage."
So this term "competition" keeps popping up, but I wonder if maybe the term means something different to Europeans, or at least to European regulators, than it does in the U.S. I feel like in the U.S., "competition" refers to the process by which consumers pick out their favorite products, and in Europe it might be more of the process by which companies are allowed and encouraged to enter the market. Do you see there being a bit of a difference between how Europe and the U.S. view competition with regards to Google?
Charles Arthur: I think you've put your finger on it there. In the U.S., it's very much every man for himself: You compete like crazy and you see how things go -- whereas in Europe, the view is slightly different.
So in the U.S., it's not illegal to have a monopoly; and indeed, it's not illegal in Europe to have a monopoly. But in the U.S., it's only illegal to have a monopoly if you then use that monopoly to try to enter another market, and you try to drive others out of that market.
So the classic case is Microsoft, with owning Windows as a monopoly and then driving people out of the browser market with Internet Explorer, where it used its ability to withhold licenses for Windows to make companies making PCs not install Netscape by default. So IBM fell afoul of this and didn't get the code for Windows 95 until a couple of hours before the product was actually going to go on sale, which meant that they fell way behind when it came to selling PCs.
That's one way in the U.S. where there's a problem. But there are three legs to the stool in the US: You have to show that someone's got a monopoly, that they're trying to extend it to another area, and that consumers have been harmed.
Now in Europe, the test seems to be less rigid, in that you only have to show that a company has a monopoly, and that other competitors that want to enter into the market are being harmed.
You don't necessarily have to show consumer harm in the same way, and that I think is a key difference in what Joaquin Almunia is doing in his prosecution of the Google case and what happened with the FTC. Because the FTC said, "Well, there's no harm to consumers, so this whole thing is moot."
Whereas in Europe, the point is made that Google, which has a much bigger share here -- Google here is sort of 95 percent of searches, compared to the U.S., where it's about 65 percent -- so their point is Google basically covers the whole landscape. And if it's pushing its own search results up in the search rankings, then that forecloses on companies that might want to get into that space, and indeed a number of European companies have complained. ...
TNW: When you talk about how the criteria for monopoly in Europe kind of revolves around the idea of being harmed, and how one company is doing harm to another -- does this have to be overt, explicit, going-out-of-its-way to harm a company?
(Imperfect Analogy Warning) There are a lot of instances where, you know, maybe a basketball player is harmed by LeBron James' brilliance, but that's just because LeBron James is so good and he can't help but harm the lesser player. What's the cutoff where you said, "OK, this is a sinister monopoly," versus "OK, this is simply a superior product"?
Arthur: Well, it's difficult, and it's sort of instructive to look at what the Competition Commission usually does. Often they're looking at cartels, where groups of small companies or medium-sized companies get together and try to fix the price of copper tubing. So they decide how much they're going to sell that copper tubing to companies for. And no matter how many places you go around and call, if you need to get a large amount of copper tubing, the price is never going to fall below a certain price.
So what is a monopoly? A monopoly is a cartel of one, where you look around and it's really hard to find anyone who will do what you want to do for a lesser price -- and that, in effect, is sort of the way that Google is being treated. Because its got 90-plus percent of the market, the question is not one of, "Well, where's the harm to the consumer?" The question is, "Well, if advertisers want to do something, or if someone wants to get into the search market and do something different, but they always find that they're shut out, and that all the actions people make and the decisions they make are: How is this going to look to Google?" -- then that becomes the cartel of one. And the question then is how to make the market reasonable so that would-be startups that want to do something in this space aren't going to get crushed immediately. ...

This year, I had the privilege of directing the children's choir at our church for the Christmas program. The kids did so well! They sang four songs and recited several different verses; there were also a few different speaking parts.
Colin recited Luke 2:11--"For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord."
(Oh my goodness, it was so cute and he did soooooo good! *Ahem*.)
The favorite song of all the children (including my own) by far was this one--"Go, Tell It on the Mountain." Here is a small snippet of it from the program. When it goes into the second chorus, you can actually hear Colin if you know his voice and listen for him! Both boys really sang out well and did a great job.
Cameron is sitting in the front row (in black, with a tie, mind you) and Colin is behind him to the right in a gray sweater. The boys' cousin, Mason, is next to Colin in the red sweater. Enjoy!

Vote out family and corruption
Several months ago, my neighbor had sent mayor Lucille Blum a letter of concern regarding the ilegall hiring of the New Martinsville Street Commissioner. This man is not a citizen of New Martinsville or Wetzel County. He resides in Tyler County and is furnished with a city vehicle at the taxpayers expense. His latest act of abuse came when he removed the license plate from the city backhoe, and had taken it to his residence in Tyler County for six months, and used it for personal and monetery gain. This equipment was purchased by us, the citizens of New Martinsville, and it is meant to be used for the purpose of maintaining our community, not someones farm in Tyler County! Remember, election time is coming and we need to vote out those who abuse the citizens trust.

Regards, Barry
Perfect timing Barry!! As I am looking around my backyard I found the perfect spot for my girls, side of the house where the house, shed, tree, and 6' fence will cause them to have to fly up 20' or so to take off. One glaring problem....the spot is 10 to 12 feet away from my A/C condenser....I would like some opinions as to whether you feel this is too close and the noise could cause mood issues with the ladies?
Locating hives?
"Where should I put my hive?" The problem is there isn't a simple answer. But in a list of decreasing importance I would pick these criteria with a willingness to sacrifice the less important ones altogether if they don't work out.
Safety. It's essential to have the hive where they are not a threat to animals who are chained or penned up and can't flee if they are attacked, or where they are likely to be a threat to passerbys who don't know there are hives there. If the hive is going to be close to a path that people walk you need to have a fence or something to get the bees up over the people's heads. For the safety of the bees they should be where cattle won't rub on them and knock them over, horses won't knock them over and bears can't get to them.
Convenient access. It's essential to have the hive where the beekeeper can drive right up to it. Carrying full supers that could weigh from 90 pounds (deep) down to 48 pounds (eight frame medium) any distance is too much work. The same for bringing beekeeping equipment and feed to the hives. You may have to feed as much as 50 pounds or more of syrup to each hive and carrying it any distance is not practical. Also you will learn a lot more about bees with a hive in your backyard than a hive 20 miles away at a friend's house. Also a yard a mile or two from home will get much better care than one 60 miles from home.
Good forage. If you have a lot of options, then go for a place with lots of forage. Sweet clover, alfalfa being grown for seed, tulip poplars etc. can make the difference between bumper crops of 200 pounds or more of honey per hive and barely scraping a living. But keep in mind the bees will not only be foraging the space you own, they will be foraging the 8,000 acres around the hives.
Not in your way. I think it's important the hive does not interfere with anyone's life much. In other words, don't put it right next to a well used path where, in a dearth and in a bad mood, the bees may harass or sting someone or anywhere else where you are likely to wish they weren't there.
Full sun. I find hives in full sun have fewer problems with diseases and pests and make more honey. All things being equal, I'd go for full sun. The only advantage to putting them in the shade is that you get to work them in the shade.
Out of the wind. It's nice to have them where the cold winter wind doesn't blow on them so hard and the wind is less likely to blow them over or blow off the lids. This isn't my number one requirement, but if a place is available that has a windbreak it's nice. This usually precludes putting them at the very top of a hill.
Not in a low-lying area. I don't care if they are somewhere in the middle, but I'd rather not have them where the dew and the fog and the cold settle and I really don't want them where I have to move them if there's a threat of a flood.
If you live in a very hot climate, mid afternoon shade might be a nice to have, but I wouldn't lose sleep over it.
In the end, bees are very adaptable. They really don't care, so make sure it's convenient for you, and if it's not too hard to provide, try to meet some of the other criteria. It's doubtful you'll have a place that meets all of the criteria listed above.

The closer my bees were to the blackberry bush behind the hive, the more active they were. Choose a place where winter has some shelter and summer has a good breeze.
For those aspiring beekeepers that do not have a backyard, 'NO BEES' laws, or land to put hives on, you will have to think of some 'creative ways' to find/locate,.land/ someone within reasonable driving distance that would,...appreciate or allow/'love' some hives of honey bees to be placed on their land. My first opportunity was from a co-worker; so friends, relatives, co-workers may be a source of 'information'. I ended up putting an 'ad' in the weekly newspapers of the nearby small towns where I live and the major daily of course. I don't think this is the best method but I was lucky that way. If you have a 'farmers market' nearby, that may be a source; Craigs List has been mentioned on Beesource. Google Maps or something similar will show areas near you that may provide great foraging for the bees. It is GOOD to have as many options as possible when locating your hives because you should have acquired information from your reading as far as,.. accessibility, compass direction, foraging area, high land/low land, protection from winter winds,..etc.
In this regard: An agreement,...a handshake [friends,relatives, co-workers], a formal, perhaps written document/legal needs to be considered.

MBs web page says it all. I have a few hives that are in a windy area, in summer its not a problem but in winter it would be very tough for the bees. So I place a few bails of straw on the windward side which acts as a wind break. So far they have always come threw the winter in good shape. Without the wind break I think I would just be picking up dead outs in spring.
The Busy Bee teaches two lessons: One is not to be idle and the other is not to get stung.
here is a site that was very helpful to me they have lots of things on bees and other plants nice chart telling which plants are major and minor
here where we live Black locust they get allot of honey but the Dep of natural Resources says its an evasive plant.
Wishing you all the best of tomorrows and good honey
I have been told that black locust nectar washes out easily and since here it is a very early bloomer (during the most rainy part of our season) it is hard to get any of the water white honey the nectar produces. Due to a fluke dry spring the first year I pulled honey I had one shallow super that was completely full of locust honey...got one gallon out of the super....you could read a newspaper thru the gallon jar. Very beautiful with an extremely delicate flavor. We however prefer darker more flavorful honeys like alfalfa. (And no I have never fed with a super on.) While looking for city code/laws concerning beekeeping (there are none!! leave that all up to the state) I discovered it is illegal to plant a black locust tree in the city limits:mad:
I wouldn't worry about the A/C condenser. Bees respond to vibration. They don't have ears. The distance sounds fine to me.
"My wife always wanted girls. Just not thousands and thousands of them......"
You may bee able to slide a small smooth board under the drip drain, remember an air conditioner is also a de-humidifier. That way you don't run up your water bill. However you may live in an arid part of Oklahoma and you will need to supliment this free water during cool periods.
Scrapfe---Never believe anything in politics until it has been officially denied.--Otto von Bismarck.
a site that is well drained (certain diseases are associated with wet locations) and accessable year round.
if I kept bees in town (which I don't) my first concern would be placing them in some spot where they would be difficult to impossible to see. out of sight.. out of mind.
What about placing hives under an elevated roof? Shelter house idea. Have even seen some videos where the hive is inside but the front porch is outside. Winter protection I suppose, and possibly a way to increase the life of the wooden hive body? Just guessing. Would definately keep the snow and wind out.
If you are in a city/town, first check the ordinances to determine if beekeeping is allowed at all and whether there are specific requirements. For example, where I live you can have 4 hives per 1/4 acre of lot, they must be 20 feet from the property line and there must be a 6 foot barrier between the hive and the direction of the hive opening. Some people ignore ordinances, thinking that they don't matter unless somebody complains. I am not your boss, and I can't tell you what to do, but that approach could lead to problems.
Assuming there are no regulations, then, in town, I would try to put them out of sight and away from the property line.
Only after you worry about the neighbors should you start thinking about considerations like shade, etc.
New beekeepers should rember that there are very few "perfect" locations, so just make the best of what you have to work with. What I value in a site is full sun, the ability to drive within carrying distance and a level work area.
Stands should be used to raise the colony above ground. The distance varies with the height of the person that will be doing inspections but I think 6 inches would be the minimum distance. My preference is one colony per stand and stands at least 6 feet apart, but that is a personal preference. I like to make stands out of treated wood, 2 x 4 legs with 1 x 4 frame work.
The direction a colony faces is not critical so face it in the direction that is best for you and your neighbors. Plan for increase, plan to reduce drift by facing enterances in different directions and give yourself enough room to work and mow the grass.
>New beekeepers should rember that there are very few "perfect" locations, so just make the best of what you have to work with. What I value in a site is full sun, the ability to drive within carrying distance and a level work area.
Exactly. There are very few "perfect' locations, so it's a matter of a "best compromise".

For those folks up north (I'm in Maine) you might want to consider more sun then shade. I started out with my first Colony in a shady spot and it sputtered all spring. Then after a friend suggested I move it into full sun things started to kick into gear. Now a flow might have picked up at that time too but the difference was quite dramatic.
Since then I've run screened bottom boards, and I prop up the top in the summer. Heat never seems to be an issue, even on those handful of 90+ days.
That and in the winter they get more sun which help keep the colony warm.
In Ed Weiss' book "The Queen and I" he mentions it's best to face the entrance south to southeast. The early morning sun coming in the entrance gets them out to work just a little sooner. Anybody else notice any difference with this?
I'm also in Maine and have limited "ideal" space for the few hives I'm getting this spring.
No front or back yard to speak of with the road close in front on the south and steep, wooded hillside to swamp right in back on the north side. East side (morning sun) is a narrow strip between my attached barn and the neighbors' and bees there would be inconsiderate.
Leaves the long, narrow open side yard which holds my 50' x 90' garden. Full sun would place the hives smack in the middle of a working garden. I have a narrow strip between the garden fence on the north side and the steep hillside. This would place the hives just outside the garden but under the drip line of the trees. Hives would be in almost full sun all winter but shaded during the mid-summer days when the sun is at full height.
This is my likely location for the hives and I've thought that I'd build a 6' high fence made of screening along the fence to get the bees up and overhead while working the beds in the garden just a few feet away from the hive entrance.
The only alternatives are the corner of the garden near the house which would receive only afternoon sun or in the center of the garden behind the huge lilac where it would receive morning and afternoon sun, shaded only at midday and have a gardener (me) working with hoes and garden trowels right next to the hives.
I've never had to work before in such close proxiomity to hives before except many years ago when we mowed hay once or twice a year right in front of 6 or 7 hives.

A supply of water is a necessity if any of your neighbors have a swimming pool, even a couple of blocks away. Your bees will find it. A birdbath works O.K. but ya have to remember to keep water in it.
i am looking to place my hives about 20 ft from a semi traveled road in the summer, we get alot of busses traveling down it and once in a while delivery trucks. monster sanders and plows in the winter. this road is not a highway is a local through way. we have 15ft abrovites blocking our yard from the street. will this traffic be a problem. and if so is there any kind of shock absorbers it could rest on? i have no other option of placement.

For about a week now I have been researching tools that would help me in testing web services. So far I have research SoapUI, Test Studio, tools within Visual Studio and various others but none seem to give me the results I want. Here is what I need it do be able to for example:
1. Test capabilities using Exchange 2007 user add/view in the lab environment.
Now I am able to use tools that bring up the information but not really doing the following once I can access it:
-setup endpoint
-randomize or change data inputs
-assertion support (example: if response is false/fail, is there logging visibility)
Any ideas? I am still doing research so if you have some tools that worked for you or others I can and will definitely check them out!

Syria, rocked by an armed revolt against president Bashar al-Assad since March 2011, has retained close links with Russia, an ally since Soviet times from which it buys most of its weaponry.
Russia has maintained military sales to Syria throughout the two-and-a-half-year conflict in which over 100,000 people have been killed, and helped block three United Nations draft resolutions criticising Mr Assad's crackdown on the mainly peaceful protests against him in 2011.
More recently, Russia has backed Mr Assad's claims that the rebels were responsible for an alleged chemical attack which is believed to have killed up to 1,400 people on August 21.
Their view contradicts that held by the United States, United Kingdom and France, who have led the way in saying that Mr Assad ordered the attack.
Russia is also against proposed military strikes on Syria which US president Barack Obama has suggested he would be prepared to carry out without the authorisation of the UN.
While the US has the backing of France and the UK, Mr Putin has used the G20 summit to garner support from nations opposing military action - at least until the UN investigators have released the findings of a recent mission to the sites of alleged chemical attacks.
So far representatives from China, the EU and Germany have spoken against unilateral military strikes.
Like Mr Assad, Mr Putin has warned the US and its allies against using force saying that without UN approval, it would be seen as an aggression.
Mr Putin said Russia did not rule out supporting a UN Security Council resolution authorising force, if it was proved "beyond doubt" that the Syrian government had used chemical weapons.
Whether the basis for Russia's backing of Mr Assad stems from an economic or ideological stand point, take a look back over the country's involvement in the Syrian conflict, what Mr Putin has said and what possible motivations are behind the support.
Russia's involvement with Syria since the start of the revolt
April 27: Russia and China block a declaration submitted by Western countries at the UN condemning repression of peaceful protests by Mr Assad's government.
October 7: Russia's then president Dmitry Medvedev tells Mr Assad either to reform or resign, while warning the West that Russia will fight outside attempts to oust him.
January 8: A large Russian flotilla led by an aircraft carrier docks at Tartus, a port where Moscow leases a naval base from Damascus. In April, a top defence official tells the Ria Novosti news agency Russia will keep a permanent presence on the Syrian coast.
February 27: Mr Putin says Russia is concerned about the "growing threat" of an attack on Iran over its nuclear program, warning that the consequences would be "truly catastrophic".
June 1: Mr Putin says his country doesn't support any side in the Syrian conflict and hasn't supplied arms that could be used in a civil war.
June 19: US president Barack Obama and Mr Putin call for an immediate end to the conflict in Syria after meeting on the sidelines of the G20 summit in Mexico.
June 30: World powers meeting in Geneva agree to a plan for a transition in Syria, before differences emerge over its interpretation.
July 18: Russia and China veto for a third time in nine months a Western-proposed UN Security Council resolution that would threaten sanctions against Assad if he does not end the use of heavy weapons.
The Russians were still unhappy with the Arab plan for a political transition.
October 10: Ankara forces a Syrian passenger plane from Moscow to Damascus, reportedly carrying arms, to land in the Turkish capital
November 27: Russia only has a "working relationship" with Mr Assad, Medvedev - now prime minister - says, insisting that "privileged" ties were a thing of the past.
January 27: In a rare attack on its ally, Russia accuses Mr Assad of having made a "grave, perhaps fatal error" by delaying political reforms.
March 13: Russian foreign minister Sergei Lavrov warns that any move to arm Syrian opposition forces would contravene international laws.
August 21: Russia calls Syrian opposition claims of the Damascus regime launching a chemical weapons attack that killed more than 1,300 people a "premeditated provocation".
August 27: Russia's foreign ministry warns a military intervention in Syria could have "catastrophic consequences" for the region. A Russian deputy prime minister says Western countries are behaving in the Islamic world like a "monkey with a grenade".
September 2: It emerges that Russia has sent a reconnaissance vessel from its Black Sea fleet to the coast off Syria.
September 4: Mr Putin suggests Russia could approve military strikes against the Syrian regime if the West presents watertight evidence of chemical weapons crimes but warns the use of force without UN approval would be an "aggression".
He reveals that Russia has suspended deliveries of sophisticated S-300 missile systems to Syria.
September 6: Mr Putin warns the US against any military action in Syria without UN approval.
The conflict in Vladimir Putin's words:
Before the conflict:
Historically, Syria and Russia enjoy a stable and strong relationship. Syria helped the Soviet Navy out during the Cold War in 1971 by leasing them the Port of Tartus.
That same year, Hafez al-Assad - the current Syrian president's father - made his first visit to a foreign country after his accession to power by travelling to Moscow in February 1971.
The USSR and Syria had already established a military and economic relationship 15 years prior to the visit, but Hafez Assad demanded more military and economic aid.
In 1980, the two countries signed the Treaty of Amity and Cooperation which stated "the parties shall promptly contact each other incase the peace and security of one of the parties has been threatened for the purpose of eliminating that threat and re-establish the peace."
The relationship took a back seat under the leadership of Mikhail Gorbachev, the USSR established relations with other Middle East countries - particularly Israel - and as a result, the nation's focus switched from finding allies to creating new economic opportunities.
After the collapse of the Soviets and Boris Yeltsin's accession to power, the newly born Russian nation no longer provided economic and military aid - though their presence at Tartus continued.
It was not until Mr Putin and Mr Assad came into power that Russia and Syria's relationship was revived.
Possible Russian motivations:
Arms sales and investments:
Russia has a huge commercial interest in Syria.
Contracts it has signed with the country are reported to total a value of $5 billion and, bearing in mind what happened with Iran, (Russia lost an estimated $13 billion due to international sanctions), Mr Putin and his government will be eager to protect their deals.
Russia is also believed to have lost $4.5 billion in negated contracts with Libya, so the arms industry has taken enormous hits in recent years.
Professor Daniel Triesman of the UCLA Department of Political Science also suggests that a number of Russian companies have investments in Syria's infrastructure, energy and tourism sectors which in 2009 had a total estimated value of $19.4 billion.
In a bid to change Russia's stance, Saudi Arabia last month offered them economic incentives including a major arms deal and a pledge not to challenge their gas sales if Moscow scaled back support for Mr Assad.
The proposed deal between two of the leading power brokers in Syria's devastating civil war was set out by Saudi intelligence chief Prince Bandar bin Sultan at a meeting with Putin in Moscow.
Syrian opposition sources close to Saudi Arabia said Prince Bandar offered to buy up to $15 billion of Russian weapons as well as ensuring that Gulf gas would not threaten Russia's position as a main gas supplier to Europe.
In return, Saudi Arabia wanted Moscow to ease its strong support of Mr Assad and agree not to block any future Security Council Resolution
Port of Tartus:
If Russia turn against Syria it would also lose its leased naval facility in the port of Tartus - which gives the country its only access to the Mediterranean.
The facility was created during the Cold War and served to support the Soviet Navy fleet.
Since the collapse, Russia has retained a presence at the port and reports suggest it has plans to expand.
As of May 2013, Russia has sent a dozen or more warships to patrol waters near Tartus.
Many experts carry the belief that Russia's goal is often to undermine Western international objectives - mainly America's with Mr Putin very critical towards US involvement in Kosovo, Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya.
Russia's government is generally viewed as being somewhat conservative - it does not support revolution. It does not believe that wars and bids to over throw governments can lead to democracy and often refers to the US invasion of Iraq to make this point.
In 2011, Russia abstained from the UN Security Council vote authorising the a no-fly zone in Libya. This subsequently meant the bill was passed but given the flow of violence which ensued, Russia argued that NATO had gone beyond the mandate to protect civilians.
Russia points out that life post Muammar al-Gaddafi in Libya is chaotic and it fears something similar will happen in Syria. It also fears that Syria would be worse still with regard to sectarian violence.
Who else supports the Assad regime?
Shi'ite Iran is Syria's closest ally and has accused an alliance of militant Sunni Islamists, Israel and Western powers of trying to use the conflict to take over the region.
As well as backing Assad, Iran also supports the Lebanese Shi'ite militant group Hezbollah which has sent fighters into Syria to help the government there.
"We want to strongly warn against any military attack in Syria. There will definitely be perilous consequences for the region," Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Abbas Araqchi said last month.
There's also the fact that a US strike on Syria could scuttle Iranian president Hassan Rouhani's big plan to fix Iran's economy by winning some relief from Western sanctions
Mr Rouhani's June election landslide won him the cautious backing of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei to pursue his pledge to engage with Western countries and attempt to ease Iran's isolation over Tehran's nuclear program.
"The atmosphere between Syria's allies and the West, after a Western attack on Syria, will become so cold and dark that there would be practically no space for reducing tensions and improving relations. Iran will be forced to change its tone towards the West to a hostile one," wrote Sadeq Zibakalam, a professor at Tehran University.
Foreign minister Mohammad Javad Zarif went further, blaming Syrian rebels. He also warned the United States not to get involved: "The Syria crisis is a trap set by Zionist pressure groups for (the United States)," Iran's English-language channel Press TV quoted him as saying.
More recently, Iran's military chief has said the country will "support Syria until the end."
Iran has also accused the US of using its claims that Syria's forces had unleashed chemical weapons on civilians last month as a "pretext" to try to topple Mr Assad's regime.
China and Syria have close trade links (it was Syria's third largest importer in 2010 according to reports) but it does not seel them weapons nor does it rely on them as an ally.
Among the theories about its support for Syria is the fact that as a nation, China is so against foreign involvement and has never supported the use of force against a regime nor has it encouraged or backed foreign intervention.
There is also the matter or Libya. China, like Russia, vetoed the UN resolution in 2011.
Again, like Russia, China believes that the action against Libya went beyond the mandate and they do not want to see a repeat of the chaos in Syria.
"A political solution is always the only realistic means to resolve the Syria issue," Chinese foreign minister Wang Yi said recently.
This was followed by Chinese delegation spokesman Qin Gang saying "war cannot solve the problem in Syria" at the G20 summit.
China has also expressed concern about what effect military action would have on the economy and the price of oil.

We've got a couple updates on the latest projects from Oscar-winning screenwriting duo Ben Affleck and Matt Damon (yes, they act too). A few months ago Affleck was chosen by Warner Bros. to direct their big-budget adaptation of the Stephen King novel The Stand. While it's been a while since we've heard any movement on the project, it now appears that Affleck has now set a screenwriter on the pic. After apparently wowing the studio with an adaptation of King's It, David Kajganich (The Invasion) has been tapped to handle scripting duties. Hit the jump for much more, including news concerning the untitled drama that Damon was previously set to direct.
When we first reported on Affleck's involvement with the project, we had no official confirmation that he was attached. With this news, courtesy of Vulture, it seems like he's 100% onboard for the pic. A multi-film adaptation was being eyed when David Yates was flirting with the project, but here's no word on whether or not that's still the plan. It may be a while before Affleck moves onto The Stand full time, as he's currently in post-production on his most recent directorial effort, Argo. In addition to directing, Affleck stars in the period/political drama alongside Bryan Cranston, John Goodman, and Michael Parks.
Additionally, Vulture's report on Affleck includes an update on the untitled drama that was to serve as Matt Damon's directorial debut. John Krasinski and Dave Eggers originated the story idea for the untitled drama, and Krasinski co-wrote the script with Damon. A few weeks ago Damon dropped out of the director's chair, saying his packed schedule would prevent him from devoting the necessary time to direct the pic. He still plans to star, and they've attached Damon's Good Will Hunting director Gus Van Sant to helm.
Though they've found their director, Warner Bros. has decided to drop the project. Vulture reports that Universal is now in negotiations with Damon to produce and distribute the flick, with Van Sant still onboard and plans to begin production on the $15 million drama by late April or early May. All seems to be well on the Damon and Affleck fronts, but I'm still itching to see the duo reunite on a project together. Plans are in motion for the two to work on a Whitey Bulger biopic, but it appears they're going to be quite busy for the foreseeable future so I'm not sure when they'll get to it.
