PrimeSport sells spots inside, outside AT&T
Published March 31, 2014, Page 10
Access to PrimeSport's space will require a separate ticket, in addition to the game ticket. Prime-Sport guests will receive vouchers that are good for redemption at concession stands within the tailgate.
Sam Soni, president of PrimeSport, said overall sales have been brisk. Packages for the fan experience in the tailgate space sold out weeks ago. A week out, PrimeSport still had hospitality packages available for inside the stadium.
Before the tournament started, sales were up 25 percent compared with last year's Final Four in Atlanta. Those sales were primarily from corporate clients and regional fans.
Now PrimeSport is seeing more buying interest from fans of the teams that look like favorites to make it to Dallas.
"It comes in different waves," Soni said. "It's definitely been a popular ticket."
In addition to the hospitality space at the tailgate, PrimeSport has suite and club-seat inventory inside the stadium.

As you celebrate Thanksgiving this year, I
encourage you to make a list of blessings you may
take for granted. My list for 2014 might help you think of others:
1. Do you have religious freedom? The majority of
the world's population75 percentlive in areas
with severe religious restrictions. And
Christians in more than 60 countries face
persecution simply because of their belief in
Jesus Christ. About 1.6 billion people in the
world live in repressive societies where they
have no say in how they are governed.
2. Do you make your own decisions? There are 29.8
million people living as slaves today, according
to the Walk Free Foundation. These people live as
forced laborers, forced prostitutes, child
soldiers and child brides in forced marriages.
Walk Free investigated 162 countries and found slaves in every one.
3. Do you have money in a bank? More than 2.5
billion adults around the world are unbanked,
according to data based on Gallup polling in 148
countries. Two-thirds of people without accounts
said they simply don't have enough money to use a bank.
4. Do you own shoes? About 300 million children
around the world don't own a pair of shoes. It is
estimated that two billion people worldwide are
currently plagued with parasitic diseases that
could be prevented simply by wearing proper footwear.
5. Do you drink clean water? About 1.1 billion
people in the world don't have access to clean
drinking water. Because of that, about 9 million
people will die this year because of
water-related illnesses. The next time you open a
bottle of Dasani or drink from your tap, remember
that millions of women around the world spend an
average of four hours daily walking to get water.
6. Did your mother survive when you were born?
Approximately 800 women die every day from
complications during pregnancy and childbirth.
This is equivalent to 33 women an hour. Almost
all these deaths occurred in developing
countries, and most could have been prevented.
7. Did you live past age 5? Some 21,000 children
die every day around the world because of poverty
and preventable diseases. That is equivalent to
one child dying every four seconds. The annual
death toll is 7.6 million children a year.
8. Do you eat three meals a day? The World Health
Organization estimates that one-third of the
world's population is overfed, one-third is
underfed and one-third is starving. Approximately
925 million people in the developing world are chronically undernourished.
9. Do you enjoy reliable electricity? About 1.5
billion people in this world have no access to
electrical power. Do you enjoy that oven in your
kitchen? The next time you prepare a meal,
remember that 2.5 billion people in the world
still use wood or charcoal to cook their food. Do
you enjoy your washing machine? About 5 billion
people in the world still wash their clothes by hand.
10. Do you have a roof over your head? The U.N.
Commission on Human Rights says there are 100
million homeless people in the world. One in
three children in the world live without adequate
shelter. And today there are about 42 million
people who are living as refugees. Most were
displaced by war and live in crude camps.
11. Do you own a car? The United States still has
the highest number of motor vehicles in the
world. Globally, only 1 out of every 8 people has
access to a car. Many of the others either walk,
take crowded buses or public vans or ride on
bicycles, rickshaws or animals. Did you fly
somewhere in the past year? You are blessed. Only
5 to 7 percent of people in the world have ever flown in an airplane.
12. Do you have a flushable toilet? The United
Nations Development Program reports that 2.6
billion people do not have access to any toilet
facilities. India has the largest percentage of
people who lack adequate sanitation. About 638
million Indians must go outdoors.
13. Can you read? Nearly a billion people entered
the 21st century unable to read a book or sign
their names. There are 72 million children who
should be in school but are not enrolled. And if
you have a college degree, you are in a
privileged minority; only 6.7 percent of people
in the world have a college diploma.
14. Can you see? Over 285 million people in the
world are visually impaired. About 39 million of
these are blind and 246 million have moderate to
severe visual impairment. India is home to the
world's largest number of blind people, due to
the country's acute shortage of optometrists.
15. Do you have health care? Here in the United
States, we are debating the pros and cons of
Obamacareand griping about the reliability of
the government's health care website. But did you
know that 1 billion people in the world have no
access to any form of health systemsand their
children cannot receive childhood immunizations.
King David wrote: "Bless the Lord, O my soul, and
forget none of His benefits" (Ps. 103:2, NASB).
Thanksgiving is not an optional virtue. Without
it, our pride swells and our selfishness consumes
us. Thanksgiving is an important exercise because
it adjusts our attitude. It calibrates our hearts
so that we stop complaining and instead remember
how we are blessed and Who deserves the credit
for our blessings. Happy Thanksgiving!

Investment Insider: As confidence rises, financial service shares are worth a look
David Kuo
Sunday 08 April 2012
Who would have guessed that the UK finance industry would ever recover from the severe beating it has taken over the past few years? But it has.
According to the latest survey from the CBI and accountant PWC, confidence in the sector has dramatically recovered in the last quarter. So, how can we, as investors, capitalise on this?
By and large, stockbrokers are said to be geared plays on the stock market, meaning that if the market does well then stockbrokers' shares should do even better. Shares in Brewin Dolphin Holdings, which manages clients' portfolios and offers internet trading, have returned more than 100 per cent since the FTSE 100 index hit a low of 3,512 points on 3 March 2009. By comparison the index has returned 83 per cent.
Brewin Dolphin is not alone. Close Brothers Group, which provides banking, securities and asset management services, has returned 94 per cent. And, Charles Stanley, which offers stockbroking and management services, has returned 100 per cent.
The rise in stockbrokers' shares is not entirely unexpected. Consider Brewin Dolphin, which saw a 40 per cent cut in profits from £42m to £26m between 2007 and 2009. Profits have gradually recovered and the dividend yield of 4.2 per cent looks quite decent too, as indeed do the yields for other brokers.
Money managers are also likely to benefit as investors regain their risk appetite. And so these are also seen as geared plays on a stock market recovery.
Aberdeen Asset Management has delivered a return of 133 per cent since March 2009. Other fund managers have equally impressive, if not better, returns. Ashmore, an emerging market specialist, has returned 273 per cent or 54 per cent a year, while Henderson Group and Investec have returned 131 per cent and 151 per cent respectively.
Geared plays can be a great way to outperform the wider market. But they are a double-edged sword. Just as profits can rise quickly when market confidence is high, they can evaporate even faster should shares fall.

1993 Oldsmobile Achieva Problems
A door window may move slowly or stop in mid travel due to a failing power window motor. The affected window may start working again after the motor cools off. Replacing the faulty window motor will commonly correct this concern.
A coolant leak may develop from the water pump. This can result in an engine overheating condition. A leaking water pump will require replacement.
The fuel pump may fail causing the engine to stall and not restart. Our technicians recommend replacing the fuel filter every 30,000 miles to help prevent undue strain on the fuel pump.
1993 Oldsmobile Achieva Questions
Stop leak stopped problem. Reappeared after 3 weeks and "seems" to get into oil after engine is turned off. Overnight about 1 pint of water in oil by next morning. Car has not overheated in the past for as far as I can remember. I use only synthetic oil

DCI: Man planned drive by shootings at officer's homes
Law enforcement authorities said an Iowa man has been charged after hiring another man to carry out drive by shootings at two officer's homes.
Dillen Eaves, 18, of Ft. Madison, was arrested and charged with conspiracy to commit terrorism and conspiracy to commit intimidation with a dangerous weapon.
The Division of Criminal Investigation, Lee County Sheriff's Office, Ft. Madison Police Department, Keokuk Police Department and Division of Narcotics and the ATF conducted an investigation in the case.
Officials said they learned on the plan and charged Eaves on Friday.
The investigation found Eaves supplied the gun to be used in the drive by shootings and paid the person $1,200 in January to carry out the plan. Officials said the shootings were never carried out.
Eaves is being held in the Lee County Jail.

Expect the Institutionalized "progressive" Left to Come Out in Force
Comedian Bill Maher gave $1 million to one of President Obama's SuperPACs. Actor Alec Baldwin's on record saying that Obama's re-election 'In the Bag'.Lanny Davis, who writes for The Hill, is busy covering up for U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder during Congressional investigations into the murder of U.S. Border Agent Brian Terry and hundreds of Mexican citizens resulting from the Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms Fast and Furious gun-runningscandal. MSNBC stopped inviting Conservative author Matt Lewis to contribute on-air after the site he works for, the Daily Caller, reported about the influence George Soros funded Media Matters for America wields over that Network. "Coincidentally", Conservative pundit Pat Buchannan was also dropped by MSNBC around that same time.
As is always the case with any non-white or non-male Republican star, the institutionalized "progressive" left media is focused on Florida Senator Marco Rubio who, being a Hispanic from a crucial swing state, poses an existential threat to the re-election of Barack Obama. Not surprisingly, openly leftist actress Eva Longoria joined in the attack by saying "Marco Rubio has been coming up with some silly stuff that we really have to sort through".
Meanwhile, the American mainstream media remains silent after a Barack Obama speech where he joked: "I went to the speaker's home town," referring to a trip to House Speaker John Boehner's battleground state of Ohio, "stood under a bridge that was crumbling." Somebody in the crowd shouted, "Let him drive on it!"
Cue the sound of crickets.
This is the same press that had a field day back in 2008 when, on one or two occasions, a few folks attending McCain/Palin rallies shouted ugly comments from the crowd. These incidents were reported as major, top of the broadcast, front-page news. Repeatedly, with frequency and vigor.
During nationwide May Day demonstrations by OWS, occupiers themselves willing admitted that their protesters were taking marching orders from big labor and public service unions like the AFL-CIO and SEIU.
One of the leaders of the Occupy Cleveland movement, Brandon Baxter, was arrested for a terrorist plot to bomb a bridge in Cleveland Ohio. The plot has been directly linked to the Occupy movement. The names and the official complaint have been confirmed.
There were multiple incidences of violence around the country, with occupiers shouting the likes of "Pigs Go Home" and "Down with Capitalism". With tear gas in Oakland, violence and vandalism in Seattle, SEIU members disrupting Los Angeles International Airport, with Occupiers calling themselves anarchists and hurling Molotov Cocktails; despite all evidence to the contrary, American taxpayer funded NPR is still calling the violent Occupy protests "restrained".
By comparison, when the Tea Party was the topic de jour, Democrats and their "progressive" Party Pravda lapdogs were quick to blame the Tea Party for each and every violent incident around the country. More than one fringe leftist whack-job, impersonating responsible journalists on American television's most irresponsible cable network, held Sarah Palin personally responsible for the Gabby Giffords shooting in Tucson Arizona. Their supposed rationale was her use of the word target when discussing campaign strategy. Never mind that in similar applications, the word "target" had been used frequently by members of the Democratic Party. Members of the institutionalized"progressive" left smear machine somehow forgot to inform the public that "target" was first used as political jargon by 1980 Democratic presidential candidate Walter Mondale's political strategist Bob Beckel.
A review of the visitor's log confirms that AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka and former SEIU President Andy Stern have been frequent visitors to the White House. SEIU alone spent approximately $60.7 million to help elect Barack Obama to the White House in 2008. SEIU expects a return on their investment. Barack Obama was quick to embrace the Occupy movement when he saw his poll numbers sliding.
Before this November's elections American voters should duly note such connections.
In case you haven't noticed, or have yet to become fully convinced, bias within the institutionalized "progressive" left media is both very real and pervasive. With the presidential general election campaign about to get into full swing, expect it to get much, much worse. Truth coming from the institutionalized "progressive" left's smear machine is as likely as them reporting that Elizabeth Warren can't prove she has Cherokee blood in her veins.

IPL 7 Results: Maxwell Unstoppable as Kings XI Punjab Thrash Sunrisers Hyderabad
- Order Reprints
- Text Size
By Deepak Vikraman | April 23, 2014 3:55 AM EST
One thing you don't do is drop Glenn Maxwell, especially not when he is in the mood that he is in. David Warner will remember this particular drop, a simple dolly at long-off when his compatriot was on only 11, with the Australian blazing a trail of glory yet again, smoking the Sunrisers bowlers with ridiculous ease to storm to a stunning 43-ball 95 to give the Kings XI Punjab yet another massive victory.
It was not a chase this time from Kings XI, but the script was pretty much the same, with the Australian going nuts, making the bowlers look like heaven-sent angels brought into this earth to allow Maxwell to hit sixes at will.
The result of nine sixes and five fours in his 95 was Kings XI storming to 193 for six in their 20 overs, with the Sunrisers Hyderabad not even coming close in the chase, finishing on 121 all out in 19.2 overs to hand the Punjab side a big 72-run win.
One, or two, of Shikhar Dhawan, Aaron Finch and David Warned needed to take-off in the chase for the Sunrisers to stand any chance of a victory, but the three vaunted top order batsmen yet again failed to ignite, and with it pretty much handing the match to Kings XI after just five overs in the second innings.
Dhawan (1, 3b) was the first to go, playing a poor shot away from his body and feathering one to wicketkeeper Wriddhiman Saha off Mitchell Johnson.
Lakshmipathy Balaji (4-0-13-4) then turned the game firmly in Kings XI's favour, sending both Finch and Warner packing in the same over. Finch (19, 15b, 2x4, 1x6), first, was castled by an in-dipper from Balaji, before the medium pacer dismissed Warner (8, 12b, 1x4), with the left-hander giving a simple catch to Maxwell at point after the ball reared up from a good length.
With three of their best batsmen already back in the hut, and needing 161 from 15 overs, it was curtains for the Sunrisers, as Kings XI romped to their third straight victory.
Earlier, Maxwell singed the Sunrisers Hyderabad in the first innings to basically put the game out of their reach after just 20 overs of the game. It, of course, could have been much different, had the Sunrisers hung on to their catches and/or kept a little bit of discipline in their bowling, with Maxwell given to massive lives.
Before all that there was Virender Sehwag (30, 22b, 2x4, 3x6) who got off to a decent start, stroking a few nice boundaries, including three sixes, to set those pulses racing, before inevitably holing out in the deep when he looked for another smash outside the ground.
Cheteshwar Pujara, who did decently well to hang around in Kings XI's big chase against the Rajasthan Royals in their previous game, again did what was probably expected of him, even if there might have been too many dot balls in his 32-ball 35 (6x4, 0x6). The highlight of Pujara's innings was three boundaries in just four balls off Dale Steyn, setting the tone for Maxwell and whoever else felt like it to take the bowlers to the cleaners.
Pujara fell in the 11th over to Darren Sammy, but an over before that the Sunrisers could and should have turned the game in their favour, consigning Maxwell to an early shower. The Australian, coming off scores of 95 and 89, thought he was finally going to be dismissed early on, on just 11, when he mistimed a shot off Karn Sharma straight to David Warner at long-off. However, Maxwell's compatriot let the ball slip through his fingers, with his reaction, horror-filled and I-want-to-bury-myself-and-never-come-back, after the drop telling everything you needed to know.
Maxwell made the Sunrisers pay for that miss, and how, smoking the ball to and past the boundary line, moving from 11 in seven balls to let's run for cover 62 in 24 balls. Part of that assault was three sixes in one over from Amit Mishra, with David Miller also joining in the fun to take the leg-spinner, who just could not find his mojo, for a massive 25 runs.
So, the damage was done to a large extent, with the Kings XI on 139 for two in 14 overs; at least now the Sunrisers would make sure there would be no mistakes. Well, not quite. Darren Sammy picked up Maxwell, who failed to clear the midwicket boundary and found the fielder, only to see his luck was definitely in, with the umpire calling for a replay over the no-ball and the pictures showing a Sammy overstepping the mark by a large margin.
Maxwell added a little over 30 more runs following that life, reaching 95, before another attempt at a mega six, finally led to his demise with Sammy completing the catch at long off and Mishra given some consolation of a wicket.
The Sunrisers actually did pretty well to pull things back in the final five overs, leaking just 41 runs, with Bhuvneshwar Kumar, seemingly bowling in another game completely, conceding a mere 19 runs from his four overs, while also picking up an impressive three wickets.
However, at 193, the damage was already done as the Sunrisers surrendered rather meekly.

Connected devices and the Internet of Things are getting significant momentum in 2014. In his session at Internet of @ThingsExpo, Jim Hunter, Chief Scientist & Technology Evangelist at Greenwave Systems, examined three key elements that together will drive mass adoption of the IoT before the end of 2015.

How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric. There are typically two or three trends: Exposing the device to a management framework Exposing that management framework to a business centric logic Exposing that business layer and data to end users. This last trend is the IoT stack, which involves a new shift in the separation of what stuff happens, where data lives and where the interface lies. For instance, it's a mix of architectural styles ...

We are reaching the end of the beginning with WebRTC, and real systems using this technology have begun to appear. One challenge that faces every WebRTC deployment (in some form or another) is identity management. For example, if you have an existing service – possibly built on a variety of different PaaS/SaaS offerings – and you want to add real-time communications you are faced with a challenge relating to user management, authentication, authorization, and validation. Service providers will want to use their existing identities, but these will have credentials already that are (hopefully) i...

Scott Jenson leads a project called The Physical Web within the Chrome team at Google. Project members are working to take the scalability and openness of the web and use it to talk to the exponentially exploding range of smart devices. Nearly every company today working on the IoT comes up with the same basic solution: use my server and you'll be fine. But if we really believe there will be trillions of these devices, that just can't scale. We need a system that is open a scalable and by using the URL as a basic building block, we open this up and get the same resilience that the web enjoys.

Report: U.S. General Ignored "Auschwitz-like" Conditions At Afghan Hospital
According to testimony today from three U.S. Army colonels, Lt. General William Caldwell stopped an investigation for political reasons into the conditions of an Afghan hospital described by a witness as "Auschwitz-like." "How could we make this request with elections coming," Caldwell reportedly said, referring to President Obama. "He calls me Bill."

Explosive testimony today at the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee accused one of the most senior officers in the U.S. Army, General William Caldwell, of preventing an investigation into horrible conditions at an Afghan military hospital.
"Two retired colonels who worked with the training command also told the [committee] that Caldwell did not want an inspector general's investigation of the Dawood National Military Hospital," according to the AP, adding that one colonel described "Auschwitz-like conditions" at the hospital.
Statements from the witnesses said that Caldwell, who was running the Afghan army training program at the time, was worried about political ramifications of a Defense Department investigation before the 2010 mid-term elections.

Mosquitoes on the rise in mid-Missouri, experts say
Updated On: Aug 21 2013 06:49:11 PM CDT
Experts said the increasing numbers of mosquitoes in Missouri are because of the transition from an extremely hot and dry 2012 summer to this year's warm, moist temperatures and lots of rain.
Mosquito experts say the eggs that were laid in the drought never hatched until the rain began falling this summer.
"I wouldn't say we've had an overabundance, but there has been a slight increase in the amount of calls," said Jerry Block, general manager of Steve's Pest control.
Research scientists at the University of Missouri say that once the eggs are laid and water recedes, some mosquitoes can withstand not having water. Once the water levels increase, the eggs become settled again and hatch.
"The eggs, just because they are not wet right now, they are there, and once it becomes moist again, absolutely they will start hatching," said Block.
The Health Department is continuing their effort in eliminating mosquitoes around town. They spray trails and highly populated public areas every Friday morning from May through October.
