ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (AP) -- New Jersey gambling regulators have fined two Atlantic City casinos a total of $26,500 for a series of violations including allowing underage patrons to gamble and drink, and filming a marriage proposal and broadcasting it on video monitors on the casino floor without letting authorities know in advance.
The state Division of Gaming Enforcement revealed the fines Tuesday.
The largest came against the Borgata, which was fined $24,000 for allowing an underage patron to gamble, and two underage patrons to drink.
The division also fined Revel $2,500 for not alerting it in advance to numerous events.
The most unusual involved the casino videotaping a marriage proposal on the casino floor.
That violated a rule requiring five days' advance notice to the division for any photography in gambling areas.

A Black and White menu taster to remember! This is a 2 Michelin stars Located in the city centre in a non remarkable area but inside:- happiness! Be aware, €€€ pp
Top class gourmet food and service. We got the black and white tasting menu. Many local Italians were guests at the restaurant, which made a great atmosphere for us. Since we did not speak Italian, we got a waiter which spoke English very well. The entire menu tasted and looked great. In the end we talked shortly with the chef.
Unbelievably, we booked the table one hour before we expected to arrive, & were surprised they had the vacancy. The restaurant frontage is very unassuming, behind a locked door, in a not so great town called Licata. On entering the restaurant, the change is like walking through a magic door from a dusty, noisy street into a cool, refined looking... More
The food was an adventure of taste and texture but we could have had a better experience. From the time you walk in you know this is not going to be a high end experience. The restaurant is a little shabby and even the glassware is plastic like. The waiter was nice and tried to explain things as well as... More
Restaurant decor and service was decent enough. Our menu consisted of several courses all delivered with flourish. Clever techniques such as dehydrated mozzarella ball on tomato consume ("puffed" once cut into to) received ooh and ah factor but was, in fact, tasteless. Likewise the steak set alongside smoking hickory, purely visual of course, was as plain as can be. Chocolate... More
Le Madia is all about the food and the food is all good - actually great! The details of the location, atmosphere and the food have been been extensively reported on by other reviewers and I'd just like to confirm that as of mid-April 2014 they were still at the top of their game. Easily the best meal we had... More
Rightfully famous, dining at La Madia is a satisfying gastronomic experience. The entrance is very humble, you wouldn't stop if you didn't know it was there. The interior too is far from ostentatious, we were a little disappointed at first, but the friendliness of the staff made us immediately feel at home. Although the service is much more relaxed than... More
We were a bit perplexed on arrival by the location. The town seemed an unlikely place to have a Michelin starred restaurant. We drive past it twice! After ringing the doorbell we were led down a corridor to a dining room whose decor reminded me of a basic Peruvian restaurant. However, the service was excellent, and Pino Cuttaia himself came... More
Ik had been long looking forward to this lunch and La Madia delivered! The creations of chef Pino Cuttaia are simply amazing and surprising! Located in the town of Licata which appears a an quite ordinary, non-touristic port town. Although the restaurant lays in a busy street in the middle of the town, we didn't had much problems finding it... More
My partner and I have just returned from a michelin tour through beautiful Sicily. Having now dined at every michelin rated restaurant on the island, in addition to most on the Italian mainland, La Madia is absolutely exceptional and can not be recommended highly enough. Don't be put off by the entrance or the simple decor. The magic lies in... More

NEW YORK --—The Philadelphia Phillies won the opening game of the World Series 6-1 over the host New York Yankees on Wednesday behind the masterful pitching of Cliff Lee and two home runs by Chase Utley.
Lee baffled the Yankees with an assortment of fastballs, changeups and curves, limiting them to six hits, striking out 10 and inducing a string of weak swings and easy outs.
An unearned run in the bottom of the ninth was the only blemish on his Lee's pitching line as he humbled the American League champions and erased their home field advantage in the series.
Utley hit a high fly off Yankees starter CC Sabathia that just cleared the right-field fence for a homer with two outs in the third inning, and crushed an 0-2 fastball into the second deck of bleachers in right-center in the sixth.
The Phillies, who won last year's World Series, tacked on two insurance runs in the eighth and two more in the ninth off Yankees relievers.
Game Two of the best-of-seven series will be in New York on Thursday with the Phillies starting Pedro Martinez against A.J. Burnett of the Yankees.

After taking 2 out of 3 last week against the Marlins, the Braves will be facing their Floridian rivals for the 2nd time in two weeks. This time, the series will take place in the land of rave green outfield walls, nightclubs, and the Fishstravaganza, as the Marlins will host the 3-game series against the Braves to close out April.
So far, the Marlins are currently 11-14, which is definitely a very respectable record for them considering their expectations for the rest of the season. The biggest of all the reasons for their decent enough start is the fact that their offense, which was projected to be anemic at best, has in fact NOT been anemic. In fact, they're currently in the Top 7 in the National League of AVG (.255), OBP (.325), SLG (.386), wOBA (.316), and wRC+ (100). Granted, it's still not murderer's row or anything like that, but that'll do a job. As predicted, the outfielders have been leading the way at the top of their lineup, with Giancarlo Stanton doing the heavy lifting with a statline of .270/.348/.550 with 7 HRs and 141 wRC+. Marcell Ozuna's hitting .303/.363/.457 with 3 HRs and 133 wRC+, while Christian Yelich has a line of .292/.364/.365 with 111 wRC+ and four stolen bases. Add in Jarrod Saltalamacchia's start to the season, and that's not shabby at all. However, this brigade only scored 1 run in the Braves series, but the Marlins as a whole have been pretty bad on the road, compiling a road record of 2-10 so far.
At home, it's a completely different story, as the Marlins are currently 9-4 in The House That Loria Somehow Got Built. In home games, Marlins pitching has limited the opposition to 2 runs or less in 6 of those 13 games. Naturally, Jose Fernandez had a hand in 2 of those performances. The Braves clearly know what this guy can do as evidenced by the 14 strikeouts he recorded against them last Tuesday, and they'll be seeing the Marlins ace again for Game 1 of this series. Alex Wood will be taking the mound as well, so this will be a very interesting rematch of last week's Strikeout-A-Mania. Nathan Eovaldi limited the Braves to 1 run in his start against them, and the righty with an ERA of 2.87 and FIP of 2.16 will look to do the same on Wednesday. On Thursday, the Braves will see Henderson Alvarez for the first time in 2014. In 5 starts, Alvarez has an ERA of 2.73 and a FIP of 3.22, and in his last home start, he nearly threw a perfect game against the Seattle Mariners, and instead had to settle for a 2-hit Complete Game Shutout. So yeah, looks like the Braves have picked a pretty nice time to visit Marlins Park!
With that being said, the Braves had a fantastic time in Miami last season, as they won 8 out of 10 games at Marlins Park last season, and won most of them handily. Plus, the Braves' pitching won't be too shabby at all, as Wood, Ervin Santana, and Aaron "I Can't Believe I'm Pitching This Well" Harang will all be taking the bump for Atlanta in this series. Plus, with the way that the Braves have been bopping the ball as of late, there's always a possibility that someone may hit the Fishstravaganza in center, like Dan Uggla did in 2012. I nearly jumped out of the gym like I was part of the Migos when this happened.
So, look for this to be a competitive series, as the Braves will definitely be getting the Marlins' best shot this week. The Braves have played well in this park though, and they're on a high so hopefully this will continue as the Braves enter May.

Gender differences could mean more risk for cardiovascular death
By Anne Craig, Communications Officer
Queen's University assistant professor Pendar Farahani (Department of Medicine and Department of Public Health Sciences) is advocating the use of gender-based treatment for mitigating the cardiovascular risk factors related to diabetes.
Research has shown women with Type 2 diabetes and high cholesterol are less likely than their male peers to reach treatment goals to lower their bad cholesterol, or low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol.
"The findings suggest the need for gender-based evaluation and treatment of cardiovascular risk factors in these patients," says Dr. Farahani. "We need further study into the gender disparities to tailor drug interventions and we need to increase the inclusion of women in clinical trials."
With treatment, only 64 per cent of women lowered their LDL cholesterol to the recommended level compared with 81 per cent of men, the investigators reported. Research has shown women have poorer adherence to taking their statin medication to treat high cholesterol, perhaps due to somewhat dissimilar pharmacological properties in a woman's body than a man's. For example, women often have more side effects such as muscle pain, explains Dr. Farahani.
"The finding that women were not able to lower their so-called bad cholesterol sufficiently is a concern," he says. "Women with diabetes have a considerably higher rate of cardiovascular-related illness and death than men with diabetes. This pattern is likely related to poorer control of cardiovascular risk factors."
Dr. Farahani's research also discovered access to medication is not responsible for this difference. All patients, who were in a database from pharmacies in four Canadian provinces, had social insurance and could afford their medications.
To evaluate whether biological sex influenced the results of cholesterol-lowering drug treatment, Dr. Farahani included nearly equal numbers of men and women (101 and 97) in the study. The average age of participants was 65 years for men and 63 years for women. All patients had Type 2 diabetes and had filled prescriptions for statin medication to treat high cholesterol between 2003 and 2004.
The results were presented on Saturday at the joint meeting of the International Society of Endocrinology and The Endocrine Society: ICE/ENDO 2014 in Chicago.

Shorter Shaft Electric Drum Pump is Ideal for Smaller Containers
publication date: Nov 30, 2010
author/source: Harvey Communications
Transferring liquids, such as oils, acids and detergents from small drums, buckets and carboys is often done manually, where even if correct procedures are followed, can be a time-consuming and messy process. An easier and more efficient method is by using light and compact motor driven drum pumps, such as those available from pumping specialists MICHAEL SMITH ENGINEERS. They offer the range of Finish Thompson EF drum pumps including a shorter 16" tube length option which are ideal for transferring liquids from smaller containers.
The EF series sealless drum pump with short shaft is designed for light to medium duty and is capable of delivering flow rates up to 64 lit/min at discharge pressures up to 6.1 metres. They are an ideal alternative to manual methods of transferring liquids and also more efficient than hand pumps. They eliminate the handling problems associated with heavy containers whilst enabling precise amounts of liquid to be transferred to smaller containers with less risk of spillage.
The EF series of pumps can be supplied in a choice of longer tube lengths, 27", 40" and 48" to suit larger containers (the motors are also interchangeable with any tube selection) and are offered in a choice of construction materials of polypropylene, pure polypro/pure PVDF. Other features are dual speed, adjustable, continuous duty electric or air motors which have CSA or CE certifications and a built-in hose and cord clip for convenient storage.

Mount Lavinia
Mount Lavinia Review
While not as idyllic as the beaches along Sri Lanka's south coast, the sandy shores of Mount Lavinia—itself a southern suburb of Colombo—offer one major advantage: they lie just 8 km (5 miles) from the downtown area and are easily reachable on a day trip if your time is limited. You may want to avoid weekends, however, as that's when everyone comes to stroll and generally unwind. There are beaches closer to the center than this, but Mount Lavinia is wider and cleaner. It also has the most extensive facilities, including plenty of eating and drinking options.

Site description Lake Nasser was formed as a result of the construction of the High Dam, first closed in 1964 and completed in 1969. It is an elongate body of water some 496 km long, 196 km of which are in Sudan (Lake Nubia), with an average width of 15 km. The water volume in the lake fluctuates greatly, seasonally and from year to year, depending on the net annual volume of water it receives. The highest water-level of 181.3 m (above sea-level) was reached in November 1998, while the lowest level recorded so far was 150.6 m in July 1988.In autumn 1996, water entered the Tushka Spillway for the first time, inundating parts of the Tushka Depression in the Western Desert and creating a huge temporary wetland, which lasted for almost a year. In 1998, the depression was inundated again, creating an even larger wetland. The spillway was built as a safety measure to divert water from behind the High Dam when water exceeded the maximum planned level of 178 m.Seasonal fluctuation in water-level ranges between 5 m and 10 m, with the level being highest in autumn then gradually receding to its lowest level in summer, depending on the amount of water released downstream from the dam, evaporation and the amount received from upstream.Lake Nasser is one of the world's largest man-made lakes. It is of vital importance for the country, representing Egypt's main reservoir of fresh water. Lake Nasser and the region adjoining it are seen by some of Egypt's planners and scientists as the future food-basket for the country. To date, the region is still largely uninhabited by man. The irregular and huge fluctuations in water-level of the lake, poor soils, steep shoreline and inaccessibility are some of the factors that have led to the failure of almost all development efforts along the lake shores.However, this situation is changing rapidly. A huge and ambitious agricultural development project (known as the South Valley or Tushka Project) was initiated in 1996 to reclaim and cultivate several hundred thousand feddans of the Western Desert using water from Lake Nasser. The project involves the installation of the world's largest pumps, which will carry water from the lake into a 300 km long canal. It was envisaged that the canal would extend all the way to Kharga Oasis in the heart of the Western Desert, and possibly beyond. Work on the project has already progressed substantially and it is planned that the pumps will be operational by 2002.Perhaps one of the most outstanding features of Lake Nasser is the very complex nature of its shoreline, composed of numerous khors, which are, essentially, inundated desert wadis. Most are narrow and meander into the desert for long distances, although some are very wide. There are some 85 major khors, 48 on the eastern side of the lake and 37 on the western side. Allaqi, Kalabsha and Tushka are the three largest khors in Lake Nasser, making up a large part of its total area. Khors support the richest habitats in the lake. Their shallow waters support aquatic flora and provide good breeding grounds for fish; and their often gently sloping shores allow vegetation to grow. Much of the rest of the lake's shores are steep and rocky with little vegetation. A vast number of islands of various sizes, representing the tops of former hills, are scattered throughout the lake. The number, location and size of these varies greatly with fluctuations in lake-level.The vegetation of the lake banks is largely dominated by Tamarix, which grows in thin bands along the lake's shoreline, forming dense growths at favourable habitats, usually in khors. Only a few plant species tolerate the continual alternation between flooding and desiccation, which dominates the ecology of the lake shores. When the lake-water recedes, extensive areas of waterlogged land are exposed and rapidly become colonized by dense Tamarix growths. Conversely, when the water-level rises, vast areas of Tamarix bush are inundated, creating swamp-like microhabitats that provide excellent feeding grounds for waterbirds. Dominant aquatic vegetation in the shallow margins of the lake includes water-lilies Najas.Lake Nasser is one of the most important sources of freshwater fish in Egypt, contributing from 25% to 40% of the total inland fisheries production. In 1992, the catch amounted to about 26,000 tonnes, and the number of fishermen was nearly 3,000. Tilapia dominate the fish catch from the lake, contributing about 97–98% of the total. Other commercial fish species include Bagrus bajad and Latus niloticus.

Other biodiversity The newly established habitats in and around Lake Nasser have become of great importance for several species that have lost most of their habitats elsewhere in Egypt. Reptiles: the lake holds the only remaining populations of Crocodylus niloticus in Egypt, which is found in substantial numbers. Good populations of Varanus niloticus and Trionyx triunguis also inhabit the lake. Mammals: the shores of Lake Nasser probably now support one of the largest populations of Gazella dorcas (VU) in Egypt, a species that is rapidly declining throughout the country.

Peanut and almond butters sold at Whole Foods, Trader Joe's and other grocers are being recalled because of possible salmonella contamination.
Federal health officials have announced recalls of two products due to concerns about listeriosis and a third recall due to possible E.coli.
OTTAWA - The Public Health Agency of Canada is probing a salmonella outbreak that left nine people sick in three provinces.
Grocery store loyalty cards aren't just about earning points or getting discounted prices, it appears. Disease detectives in British Columbia were able to spot and halt an outbreak of hepatitis A infections in that province in early 2012 by comparing the foods the infected people had bought in previous months.
Federal Health Minister Rona Ambrose accused Canada's largest public-sector union Tuesday of wrongly and irresponsibly undermining Canadians' confidence in the safety of their food. She was responding to a union allegation made last week, and repeated Tuesday in Parliament by the NDP, that federal job cuts have left consumers, especially in B.C.'s Lower Mainland, vulnerable to both consumer rip-offs and tainted food.
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency will investigate whether certain British food imports, from spreads and soft drinks to chocolate biscuits, need to be pulled off the shelves of stores across the country. News that CFIA officials had seized products including Marmite, Ovaltine, Bovril, Penguin Bars and Scotland's favourite pop, Irn-Bru, from a store last week in Saskatoon outraged consumers of British imports. While most of those products are sold in specialty shops, others such as Marmite and Bovril are commonly sold in major grocery chains across Canada.
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency will investigate whether many British imports from spreads and soft-drinks to chocolate biscuits need to be pulled off the shelves of stores across the country.
Take a little non-profit agency run by an innovative orthodox rabbi — in no way a contradiction in terms — and you get Kosher Check, a Vancouver kosher certification agency that sends rabbinical inspectors as far away as India and China. "Companies want to get kosher certification because it makes their products easier to sell," Kosher Check business manager Richard Wood said.
Costco customers in B.C. should check their purchased beef after the Canadian Food Inspection Agency issued a warning Friday that Kirkland Signature Organic Lean Ground Beef could be contaminated with E. coli.
British Columbians spend an average of $43.90 each week on produce — and throw away about 11% of their purchase, according to a new study commissioned by KitchenAid. Both those numbers — expenditure and waste — are above the national average. All told, the average Canadian home throws out $190.94 worth of fruit and vegetables each year — for a national annual tally of more than $2.5 billion.

Jordan to Announce Water Distribution Program Next Week
Jordan's water ministry is planning to announce its summer water distribution program next week, one month later than its usual announcement date, a ministry official said on Saturday.
"This summer's program will not be much different from last year's," Adnan Zu'bi, the ministry's assistant to the secretary general for information and public awareness, told the Jordan Times newspaper.
He said some changes were made to reduce or raise the number of days citizens receive water. Supply will depend on water networks, density of population and the citizens' ability to store water.
Jordan has a deficit of 26 million cubic meters (mcm) for this summer, with 146 mcm needed and 120 mcm available, said the paper.
Jordan's entire year water needs stand at one 1.185 billion cubic meters – Albawaba.com

Dumfries and Galloway Council was keen to implement a progressive new travel policy to tackle grey fleet and encourage the use of low-emission vehicles. Our Council introduced the following measures:
The Grey Fleet Review revealed that Council staff travelled 2.86 million business miles in 2011/12. This has since been reduced to 2.17 million, a reduction of 23 percent within one year. The improvements have also resulted in estimated carbon savings of 231 tonnes and cost savings of £400,000 per annum.

A total of 77 mammal species are known occur in Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks. An additional 13 species, such as the wolverine, Sierra Nevada red fox, and black-tailed hare may also be present but exist in such low densities that their status is unconfirmed. Commonly observed species include yellow-bellied marmots, mule deer, pika, and several species of squirrels, such as California ground squirrels, Douglas squirrels, golden-mantled ground squirrels, and Western gray squirrels. Most mammals however, are secretive and nocturnal and they are rarely seen by park visitors. Examples include ringtails, spotted skunks, short-tailed weasels, and mountain lions. You can help the parks learn more about such species by obtaining a wildlife observation card at any visitor center and describing the species you observe during your visit.
NPS Photo
Finally, the mammalian fauna of these parks is not as complete as it once was. The wolverine may no longer be present, but occasionally visitors report seeing them. However, there has been no verifiable evidence of them in many decades. The same is true for the elusive Sierra Nevada red fox. One species that we know for certain has been lost is the grizzly bear. Although grizzly bears were once abundant throughout California, they were exterminated by the 1920's. According to one account, the last grizzly bear seen in California was in 1924 in Sequoia National Park.
Did You Know?
The richness of the Sierran flora mirrors that of the state as a whole. Of the nearly 6,000 species of vascular plants known to occur in California, over 20% can be found within Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks.

Prior to visiting Mumbai we had many people tell us we should skip it altogether; that it's dirty, crowded and crazy. Well, considering we think that Bangkok is a very lovely and livable city, we figured we would feel right at home.

Not sure if its the language or that she is a women.
You can see some of the looking down on women bit.
Anyway Rell spent most of the day catching up on her paper work & resting. I went out for a walk around the blocks.
You can see the poverty, dirt & buildings in disrepair.
People sleeping & begging in the streets & everyone stares at you.
Rell came out for a walk ...
Welcome India!
... sufficient document of course. No surprise there. What I was thinking? They needed to copy of my proper passport, with tourist visa and all that ****! The guy at the window, obviously accustomed with this situation, said very calmly that he was working till 7:30pm so I had plenty of time to come back. I really didn't like that idea but knew at the same time that that was the only way to go about it. **** it, I need to sort this out today, I decided. At least not all day was a waste, ...

text: This was not a trail with beautiful vistas, nor was it one with a lot of elevation changes. There were few places to get water that didn't have some serious issues with suspended particles (read: mud), and if not for the blue (albeit faded) blazes, one would only have to wonder what in the blue blazes am I doing here! (Hmmm...I wonder if that phrase is why they paint them blue?) Anyway, there were jumps from tussock to stick pile back to tussock, dismembered bridges, water walks, and some serious mosquito habitat to contend with. To give an example, I was approaching a swamp, or for the politically correct, a "marsh" when I encountered a bridge across a drainage creek. I could tell that in it's day this was a very well thought out and constructed bridge complete with an outrigger railing. However, this was not it's day, and the approach section had lost it;s support on the right side, resulting in a serious cant in that direction. The surface of this section LOOKED solid, so I placed the Vibram sole of my Scarpa boot firmly on the bridge and pushed up, only to find the there was a film of slime on this section of bridge, causing my foot to slide out and the left side of my head to slide into the railing. Owe. Trekking poles only work when you have leverage. I know better than to trust any smooth surface, but having good gear can sometimes give you a sense of overconfidence. Mental note to self: ALL gear has its limitations.
