Charity suspension hits tax shelter profit
A Toronto charity suspended last week by tax authorities played a pivotal role in enabling taxpayers to make money through their donations.

A Toronto charity suspended last week by tax authorities played a pivotal role in enabling taxpayers to make money through their donations.
Promoters and donors insist International Charity Association Network has provided useful computer and life-skills training with their help, and that this could ultimately benefit the Canadian economy. But one might ask: At what cost to other taxpayers?
With the aid of ICAN's tax receipts, donors were attempting to claim a tax refund large enough to pay for their donation, while putting nearly as much money back into their pockets.
Global Learning Group Inc., the promoter of the growing tax shelter behind ICAN's impressive revenue figures, is not specific about the financial rewards on its public website. It says merely that "donors may get a cash flow advantage while doing good for others." A blog of one of its marketers does, however, spell out the potentially lucrative deal down to the penny.
It's highly likely Canada Revenue Agency would have eventually challenged the donors' claims for charitable tax credits. The CRA warns taxpayers every year about the risks of such schemes.
But a recorded message at Global's toll-free telephone number cheers on participants with the assurance they are backed by a nearly $1 million legal defence fund.
What the message has not mentioned several days after ICAN lost its authority to issue tax receipts is CRA's unprecedented strategy of attacking the charity over its bookkeeping.
Global Learning director Robert Lewis said yesterday his company is doing nothing until Monday, when lawyers for ICAN will go to Tax Court of Canada to challenge CRA's notice of suspension.
CRA's concern, according to its Nov. 29 news release, is that "the charity has failed to maintain sufficient documentation to support payments and expenditures including $26,372,685 in fundraising payments and $244,323,422 in charitable program expenditures."
A one-year suspension effective Nov. 28 would prevent ICAN from issuing official donation receipts, and require it to warn donors and other registered charities before receiving a gift.
Lewis insists the design of the tax shelter is sound and that ICAN has done much wonderful work, feeding poor Canadians and helping to educate immigrants and under-qualified adults through affiliated centres across the country.
He declined to provide a copy of the legal opinion that supports the tax shelter before ICAN's Monday court hearing, or to name the law firm.
Rival tax-shelter promoter David Singh of the Destiny Group of Companies in Markham said that, in light of ICAN's suspension: "I would tell my mother not to touch (Global's tax shelter) with a 20-foot pole."
The plan is structured so "donors" apply to Global Learning Trust (2004) to receive free training software. They are encouraged to donate cash to the Millennium Charitable Foundation, which is run out of accountant Thomas Koger's Toronto office. Millennium has reported $168 million in revenues over the past four years. It provides cash to ICAN while the taxpayers turn over their free software, and claim a tax receipt. That receipt values the training software at prices charged by the maker, InfoSource, Inc. of Winter Park, Fla., Lewis explained.
"It is defendable because the courseware is given away, and it created a lot of value at the other end," said Lewis.
Officials for ICAN declined to comment while the court appeal is outstanding. Koger did not return a message left on his answering machine.
James Daw, CFP, writes Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. He can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com by email.

The Bitcoin Bowl: St. Petersburg Game Accedes to Demands of Evolution
The college football postseason contest headquartered in St. Petersburg* has only operated since 2008, but has rapidly gained market share in the national consciousness as a reliable source of peculiar entertainments. There is the game itself, played inside the domed confines of Tropicana Field, lending it an ambience best described by one local media member as "overturned Tupperware bowl." There are the lead-up events, which include a belly flop–off and a dance contest that once caused a pregame donnybrook. And there is the title sponsorship, begun with the then-inscrutable magicJack, continued with a restaurant that has, at one point or another, listed "Signature Irish Limeade" and "Nachos 'O' Brady" among its menu offerings, and continues now to its logical evolutionary endpoint with the arrival of the Bitcoin Bowl.
Are those the cables of the Sunshine Skyway bridge in the logo, or renderings of the pyramids of ancient pharaohs seething with jealousy at the thought of being born into an age where they didn't have to be buried with boring dumb gold bars? [Insert that sound slot machines make when a lot of nickels come out, only just the beeping part, not the sound of clinking metal anything, because this is cryptocurrency, baby.]
It's not doing its part to replace the lost generation of bowl games named after pizza chains, and it deprives us of any further attempts to make a "guess the real Beef 'O' Brady's menu item" pregame quiz, but as a torchbearer in the unbroken chain of "Wait. What?" that has accompanied this contest since its very inception, Bitcoin Bowl is a sterling choice. The gift suites will be millennial as hell. The Gatorland secondary sponsorship can't be far off. And the heists will be unparalleled.
*ESPN owns this game. Look how much ESPN loves you.

Norwegians uncomfortable about beggars

As the plight of and the debate about what to do about the Roma People continues, Norwegian politicians and police advocate a renewed begging ban.

Whilst it was legalised six years ago, the Right-Wing Parties oppose the practise. This week, the Progress Party (FrP) has said it wants to help stamp it out by altering Norway's welfare benefits system. In May, the Conservatives (H) voted 184-102 in favour of an embargo on begging.
Police Director Øystein Mæland has also advocated reintroducing the pre-2006 veto, with officials there alleging the Roma People from Romania and Bulgaria make up the main part of those coming to Norway.
Both countries are expected to become Schengen area members from this autumn, which Norwegian police have previously expressed concern about.
The Centre Party's (Sp) Jenny Klinge has suggested pulling Norway out of Schengen, replacing it with a common Nordic Country border control union.
Socialist Left (SV) deputy leader and Minister of Children, Equality, and Social Inclusion, Inga Marte Thorkildsen, says the timing of this discussion is inappropriate, however, even though her Party opposes Schengen and the EEA agreement.

Hostile witness
|This article includes a list of references, related reading or external links, but its sources remain unclear because it lacks inline citations. (November 2010)
|The examples and perspective in this article deal primarily with the United States and do not represent a worldwide view of the subject. (November 2010)
|Part of the common law series
|Types of evidence
|Hearsay and exceptions
|Other common law areas
A hostile witness, otherwise known as an adverse witness, is a witness at trial whose testimony on direct examination is untruthful and either openly antagonistic or appears to be contrary to the legal position of the party who called the witness. There is difference in law between a hostile witness and an unfavourable witness. To be deemed hostile a witness has to be deemed to be showing a general unwillingness to tell the truth, as well as just being unfavourable to the calling party. In such a situation, the judge would normally allow the calling party to cross examine their own witness, which amounts to treating that person as a hostile witness, An unfavourable witness, is a witness who is assumed to be telling the truth, but maybe not the truth the calling party was hoping to hear. A classic example of this is the Pullen V Regina case of alleged dangerous driving, of the very late noughties era, where the defendant had allegedly driven at a Constable in order to attempt to deliberately run him over. The Police decided to ask the passenger of the accused to stand as a key prosecution witness, believing he would testify to this in court, when the witness stood up in court, he told the calling party that in fact the officer had thrown his pushbike, in front of the defendents vehicle, as he was heading towards the opposite direction to which the officer was standing in order to purposely avoid running the police officer over, pointing out that the officers action was a a very dangerous thing to do, that could have caused a nasty accident. Because this was in fact the truth, the judge rejected the prosections request to treat this witness as hostile and was only deemed an unfavourable witness, which meant the prosecution could not cross examine their own witness, despite the adversely unfavourable testimony. Unsurprisingly, this resulted in the charge of dangerous driving being discontinued.
During direct examination, if the examining attorney who called the witness finds that their testimony is antagonistic or contrary to the legal position of their client, the attorney may request that the judge declare the witness hostile. If the request is granted, the attorney may proceed to ask the witness leading questions. Leading questions either suggest the answer ("You saw my client sign the contract, correct?") or challenge (impeach) the witness' testimony. As a rule, leading questions are generally only allowed during cross-examination, but a hostile witness is an exception to this rule.
In cross-examination conducted by the opposing party's attorney, a witness is presumed to be hostile and the examining attorney is not required to seek the judge's permission before asking leading questions. Attorneys can influence a hostile witness' responses by using Gestalt psychology to influence the way the witness perceives the situation and utility theory to understand his likely responses.[1] The attorney will integrate a hostile witness' expected responses into the larger case strategy through pretrial planning and through adapting as necessary during the course of the trial.[2]

Today's Wichita Business Journal: Hawker Beechcraft, Equity Bank, Kansas Legislative session
Send this to a friend
Another great paper for our readers this week. Some of our stories:
Beechcraft, as the company will be known after it emerges from bankruptcy, has forecast aircraft deliveries for the next few years. Analysts we talked to say those numbers may be optimistic. The company is expected to complete bankruptcy proceedings in early 2013. It will live on without its business jets segment.
Equity Bank has been interesting to watch over the past few years. Loan growth at Equity far outpaces other local banks. And it's growing assets as well. As of the end of September the bank is at $700 million, and another acquisition is expected to take it over $1 billion.
Kansas business groups like the Wichita Metro Chamber of Commerce and the Kansas Chamber of Commerce worked hard to get candidates elected to the Kansas Legislature. Now they've put together their agenda for the 2013 Legislative session.
Their focus includes the continuation of Affordable Airfares and funding for the National Institute for Aviation Research and the National Center for Aviation Training. They'll also watch tax initiatives, changes to unemployment insurance and e-commerce.
Inside the paper you'll find stories on a new apartment storage business, the ethanol industry's preparations for 2013, website developers maximizing design for mobile, and the need for workers in the oil and gas industry.
Our list this week is a ranking of the area's largest home heath care agencies.
And our profile this week is on Tom Stolz, the former cop who is the new head of the merged city-county code enforcement department.
These stories are in today's paper, so that means you have to be a subscriber to read them online.

307 Tasting Notes
First off, I apologize if anybody's been getting double likes from me on their posts? I don't even know if Steepster does that, but… I go through and "like" every post I read, but when I do it on my phone, it doesn't show me as having liked the post when I'm back on my laptop. So if it appears I'm being extra, extra enthusiastic about your tasting note, I'm not trying to be a creeper, technology is just silly!
Tea. Earl Grey. Hot.
Mmm. This truly is a Classic Earl Grey. The bergamot flavor is very assertive without being overpowering or chemical. It's a very robust morning cup. Maybe I'm being influenced by the name, but to me EG's always taste like a brisk, gray morning with mist hanging from last night's rain. Even though it's not pumpkin-y or any of those traditional "fall" flavors, somehow it tastes like the cold, light-gray part of fall that I secretly kind of love.
Still think the EG cream is my favorite, but I'm glad to have tried a high-quality straight-up Earl. It's certainly made me have a higher appreciation for bergamot.
Thanks again to Nicole for the sample!
An interesting tasting.
I quite like the dry leaves – they're green, rolled up, and really easy to handle. I meant to steep them for 1 minute, but that wound up not quite happening, although I think they're still under 2. At the beginning of the sip, the aroma is that half-vegetal, half-roasted flavor that I now associate with oolongs (did I mention I'm still fairly new to oolongs?) But then something interesting happens. Now, I'm not familiar with the flavor of ginseng, so I'm probably tasting it without recognizing it as such. But the longer the tea remains in my mouth, the more of a bright citrusy tangent the flavor takes, getting higher and higher in pitch while the vegetal/roasty oolong base remains until I swallow. It's almost a bitter flavor, but it's such an unexpected development that, at least for this tasting, I don't mind it because it's a cool experience…
Did you know this goes really well with vanilla ice cream? I had absolutely no intention of them being a pairing, but the pointed, morphing quality of the tea makes a great contrast with the vanilla WHOMP. Damn!
Uh oh. Methinks I may have underleafed this?
I steeped it just under boiling for 5 minutes. The first sip made me go, WHOO ASSAM – and then all the subsequent sips have been a lot more mild. I've heard Assams are supposed to be bold, and while I'm certainly getting an Assam quality, it's muted. I'm afraid to try brewing it more because I let it steep for 5 minutes.
No numbers for now. Next time I'm going to try more leaves. Oh well, still a pleasant morning cup.
EDIT: Forgot to credit Nicole for the sample! Also, it got more Assam-y as it cooled. Tea is so weird. Science.
"Uh oh. Methinks I may have underleafed this?"
A digital scale such as http://steepster.com/teas/teaware/37731-my-weigh-durascale-d2-660-digital-scale is very handy for a more consistent cup of tea.
Mm-hmm, I thought I smelled some Earl Grey cream in here. (I may or may not have ordered some from Zen Teas last night at 1 AM. Only a little obsessed, I swear.)
Dry leaves smell delicious, basically like EG Cream with a bit of rose. The pink little rose petals mixed with the tea leaves are charming.
This is good! I think in this case, something about the mix of the cream and the rose tip tip the aroma a little on the sweet side for me. The taste is a little milder, and it averages out. A little perfumey, which I don't complain about, without being chemical-y. Nice bergamot, too. Yay royal weddings!
Thanks to Nicole for the sample! I've really been enjoying the Earl Grey batch!
The Fact That Black Tea Has Caffeine. I love it in the morning, I hate it at night. Why? Because any time I want to drink tea, it's ALWAYS black tea I'm tasting in my mind. That's… tea. Anything else just doesn't sound quite satisfying, even though I know if I do a cup of black, I'll be fluttering around at 2 in the morning, and nobody needs that.
I was going to do a new oolong in the gaiwan, but the experience wound up being such a stinker that I'm not even bothering to log it (tasted like the cup and smelled like burnt yuck.) So I, against my better judgment, went with this tea instead. Why? I don't know why; I wanted something I hadn't had in a while. It is the most generic green tea on the planet. And tonight, just like my failed oolong, it tastes like the cup. * sigh * Guess I'll just have to hope for better tea luck tomorrow.
Woo this is some smooth tea! There's some kind of dark fruit drone I, once again, can't quite pin down. I'm seeing the word "raisin" in the item descrip and that's not quite right. It's almost molasses or something, or some kind of berry-flavored syrup. NO astringency whatsoever.
I can see why people like this tea; to be honest, it's a little too heavy/rich for me. Worth a try, at least, considering all I've heard about it.
Thanks to Nicole for the sample!
EDIT: I'm drinking cup 2, and now that it's cooled down I'm getting the maltiness that I didn't get in cup 1. It's quite pleasant. Oddly, it makes me think of fall, too. It's September. I'm OK with it being fall now…
Backlog. I tried to post a tasting note on this last night, but #$&%@*! Steepster was having One Of Its Episodes.
I… don't think I have an opinion on Tie Guan Yin. I've had two of them now, and they've both been about the same; brightly vegetal, a little bright-fruity, a bit on the roasty side. I don't like it, I don't dislike it. It's enjoyable, but not something I would crave or reorder. It's the kind of tea I have to be in the right mood to drink; unfortunately, usually when I'm in a "tea" mood I'm picturing black tea, so I'm seldom in the right mood for this kind of flavor, unless I'm doing a late-at-night cleansing tea or something.
It seems to have a lot of them… it was really bad last night. It stalled every time I tried to go to another page, then I tried to put this tea in my cupboard, and then it wouldn't show it in the cupboard. errgh
Be very cautious. When I first started drinking tea, I wondered what all the big deal was about TGY teas. Then they got their hooks in me….now I crave them and slurp down a cup like a person dying of thirst in a desert!
I REALLY have to be in the mood for Tie Guan Yin as well – there are times when I've had it and thought it was the greatest tea in the world and times when I've just found it kind of blah (same vendor and batch and everything).
Wanted a comfort tea after a busy day at work, and somehow I just didn't feel like anything green, white, or oolong. So I'm drinking a black tea at 11 PM against my better judgment.
This is quite decent. The blend of lavender and bergamot is smoother than expected. I had one other EG lav by Adagio, and that one just tasted like soap, so I was glad to find that this one doesn't, at least not as much. Still don't think I like this one quite as much as the EG cream, though. I like Mahamosa's EG's; they're kinda smooth, at least compared to what others I've had.
Thanks to Nicole for the sample!
A rare second day off in a row, so I'm considering this a do-over from yesterday. Woke up pretty sleepy, and exactly in the mood for some kind of earl grey. This was the first one I grabbed and I thought, "Eh, why not?"
This is my first earl grey cream. I really didn't know what to expect, and to be honest I wasn't expecting to like the combination of cream with bergamot. But I took one sniff of this tea and went, "Whoa!" Turns out I really, really like the combination of sweet with citrus. The tea tastes a little milder than it smells, but it's still really enjoyable. It's reminding me of something I've smelled or tasted years and years ago, some pleasant association… I can't put my finger on it. Kind of perfume-y (which I actually like in my teas.) Is this the best earl grey cream out there, I don't know. But this is one flavor that's definitely going to become a fixture in my cupboard!
Thanks Nicole for the sample!
Day off wound up being a little bit of an off day. Nothing went quite as intended, and I'm just left feeling kind of frustrated and slobbish rather than relaxed.
Finishing off with this tea, one from the oolong sampler. I'll have to give it another try on a day I haven't left the water to cool so long. So far, I'm getting a light, pleasantly floral/vegetal oolong with a bit of… not maltiness, not roastiness, but a somewhat savory effect. Refreshing and relaxing.

Mrs Brown joins New York's first wives club
Thursday 25 September 2008
A reflecting pool stocked with Japanese carp and a floating Buddha three times the height of her husband awaited the Prime Minister's wife, Sarah Brown, as she jetted into Manhattan last night just in time to co-host what may be the most glamorous power-women pow-wow the city has ever seen.
Mrs Brown was due at Tao, a restaurant on 58th Street that promises its always well-heeled patrons a "sensual trip through the cuisine of Asia". Hence the Buddha.
Mrs Brown is hosting the dinner with the likes of the Duchess of York, Sarah Ferguson, Queen Rania of Jordan and Wendi Murdoch, wife of the media super-mogul Rupert Murdoch. The spouses of heads of state in town for the UN General Assembly were also joining them. Tao, indeed, might as well have been renamed, for one night, as the First Wives Club.
The event's serious purpose was to raise awareness for the White Ribbon Alliance and Safe Motherhood, the charity that is committed to promoting maternal health and reducing infant mortality, with which Mrs Brown has long been involved.
Nor is it an accident that the dinner was in New York. It is at the UN headquarters, a few blocks from Tao, that heads of government will restate their commitment this morning to the UN's Millennium Development Goals, including improving medical care for women in child birth in the developing world. Mrs Brown is also expected to make a presentation on maternal health care at the UN headquarters this morning.

Gordon's power problem opens door for Dale Jr. to take Sprint Cup points lead
Aug 10, 2014, 7:14 PM EST
Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s 11th-place finish in today's Cheez-it 355 at Watkins Glen International enabled him to take over the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series championship lead.
Hendrick Motorsports teammate Jeff Gordon entered this weekend's race with a 17-point lead over Earnhardt. But after leading the first 29 laps of today's 90-lapper, Gordon suffered a loss of power on his car at Lap 50.
Gordon was pushed to his pit box and after his crew made repairs, he was able to return to the track and eventually finished in 34th.
With that, Earnhardt leaves the Glen with a five-point lead over Gordon with four regular season races left.
Earnhardt cycled up to second behind HMS teammate and then-leader Jimmie Johnson by staying out under the Gordon caution.
Following the extended red flag at Lap 57, Earnhardt made a stop for four tires and fuel, which dropped him out of the Top 20. However, after the green flag came back out at Lap 60, he was able to start a late-race move towards the Top 10.
With less than 10 laps to go, Earnhardt finally returned to that bracket of the leaderboard. But two restarts within the final laps ultimately saw him drop back to his final result.
"The strategy bit us there," Earnhardt said. "We probably should of come. [Crew chief] Steve [Letarte] and I think we probably should have come and got tires there.
"That last stop, a couple of guys on new tires beat us. We had a good fast car, real good speed – just got caught out on that strategy there and didn't finish in the top five. We had a good enough car to."
Meanwhile, Gordon said that he didn't know the exact cause of what caused his car to lose power.
"It looks like we had a battery go dead, two batteries go dead," Gordon said. "I didn't see anything on the volts meter that stood out or anything really going on there that was alarming."
However, Gordon was glad that such a problem occurred now than later on when it counts.
"…I would rather these things happen now so we can determine what caused it and make sure it doesn't happen again, because you can't have those kinds of things happen once this Chase starts," Gordon said.

Love my cropped white jeans! Except I have four younger siblings and I'm kind of klutzy (I spill things a lot) so it's hard to keep them clean. If your white jeans get something on them, just put stain remover on the spot(s) and scrub the area for a while with an old toothbrush. Then just toss them in the washer.

Kukla's Korner Hockey
The Conacher Soap Opera
by Alanah McGinley on 10/26/07 at 05:42 PM ET
Comments (0)
From Neil Stevens at CP,
Hockey was in Brian Conacher's blood, still is, and always will be.
At age 66, he weaves a fascinating tale of his life in and around the sport in his new book, "As The Puck Turns."
"The story is not as much about me as it is my journey," he said during an interview. "I always felt hockey played out as a soap opera.
"I had the title well in advance of ever putting pen to paper."

I'd really like to know if the program they wrote can be modified to use arbitrary values for the number of parks and days. I'd kill to have it be able to pick 10 parks in 14 days with certain parks excluded, for instance. Or to be able to put limits on the lengths of driving legs.3.

I got an itinerary that had a night game in Seattle followed by an afternoon game in Houston. The game in Seattle starts at 7:10 PT. Assuming worst case scenario and a four-hour game, that gives 1:10 CT for the end of the game, leaving 14 hours to drive to Houston. Not possible by car since that takes 34 hours.6. BDC Posted: May 07, 2014 at 10:05 AM (#4701920)
The algorithm takes pains to avoid hard-to-complete drives
And at that, it wants me to leave San Francisco after a night game and see a day game in Detroit 39 hours later, and then on to a night game in Miami 27 hours after that. A mere Minneapolis to Toronto jaunt must seem like nothin' to this algorithm.
I'm half-considering something way more modest but still challenging for me, this summer – to leave the Albany NY area one morning, see a night game in Pittsburgh, then a game in Cincinnati the next night, and then maybe, if my stamina and desire hold out, another night game in Kansas City (but two days later, not the very next night). Even that sounds a bit insane to me. But it would almost double the number of current parks I've been to.
WE had a link to something like this during the offseason. It was doable with something like two trips requiring me to drive.8. McCoy Posted: May 07, 2014 at 10:16 AM (#4701932)
Found it. Now to check if there were any rain delays or rain outs.9. Scott Lange Posted: May 07, 2014 at 10:38 AM (#4701979)
Well, I figured out an itenary that would do 30 straight days of games from opening day through the 28th of April. I used Seatgeek to get the cheapest possible ticket price, mainly used Southwest (which it doesn't look like Leitch used at all), and used my company's travel plan for the hotels. Cost comes to $5,000 and that doesn't include any ground transportation so throw in about $1,000 for that and it comes to about $6,000. The only spot where I might miss the opening pitch is the Cincinnati game because neither Baltimore nor Washington offers a direct flight into Cincinnati that doesn't take forever. I would have to fly into Dayton and then rent a car to get to Cincinnati. Most expensive flight was Toronto to Denver since I needed a direct flight to get to Colorado for the 1:10 start time. 11 day games and you get to see a Cardinals-Cubs game and not much else in terms of big rivalries.

That tool just shows that it can't be done in any practical way.
It depends on your definition of practical, I suppose, but I've done eight parks in eight days (would've been nine but for a rainout that led to a day at Gettysburg) and seven parks (and a bar mitzvah, a taping of the Colbert Report, and various other hijinks) in 6,000 miles and eleven days. I think my pace was similar to what this tool calls for, with time for some stops and side trips available on the short legs, and I found it quite enjoyable. Even the long drives just allowed for more peaceful time than I would normally get otherwise. I wouldn't hesitate to try for 30 in 30 if I had the time and money.
While I'm here, does anybody know of a source for a "master spreadsheet" that contains the complete minor league schedule for the current year? I'm working on a life goal of visiting every major and minor league park (55 down, roughly 137 to go) and gathering dates and times to work out a feasible road trip is incredibly labor intensive. It would be great to find a spreadsheet that just has all the dates and times built in. Thanks in advance!
That's a hell of a tool. Now all they need is a tool to figure out how much the whole trip would cost.11. I am going to be Frank Posted: May 07, 2014 at 01:17 PM (#4702210)

NEW YORK (AP) — Hot dog eating champion Joey Chestnut estimates he eats about 20,000 calories in one shot at food competitions, but he says his doctor doesn't mind.
"In the long run I'm really not consuming that many more calories than most people," the four-time Nathan's Famous International Hot Dog Eating Contest champion said Friday at an appearance ahead of the yearly Fourth of July eat-off. "I run. I really try to stay healthy. I count my calories rigorously when I'm not doing the contests."
The San Jose, Calif., resident said that at 27, he's young enough to get away with his competitive binging for a few more years. His doctor checks his blood work and has told him not to worry as long as he gives himself time to recover, doesn't gain weight and doesn't develop diabetes, Chestnut said.
Chestnut is 6'1" and weighs 218 pounds. A physically active man of his age, weight and height should be eating 3,200 calories a day to maintain his weight, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
In 2009, the contest's reigning champion set a world record when he ate 68 hot dogs and buns in 10 minutes. Last year, he won with just 54 dogs.
On Friday, Chestnut gathered near New York's City Hall with other eaters including the presumed female front-runner, 105-pound Sonya "The Black Widow" Thomas.
This is the first year Nathan's is holding a separate eat-off for women. Sponsor Pepto Bismol has created ornate championship belts for the winners — one in mustard yellow and one in pepto pink.
Last year's competition was overshadowed by the arrest of previous six-time champion Takeru Kobayashi, who jumped on the stage after Chestnut's victory. The 33-year-old from Japan has refused to sign a contract with Major League Eating and so was barred from competing.
This year, Kobayashi will hold his own unofficial event miles away on a Manhattan rooftop. He'll watch the Nathan's contest on TV and try to out-eat all the competitors.
