Manipulating a sports match's outcome for gambling purposes is outlawed. But Manipulating one to boost suspense—and therefore ticket sales, ratings, and advertiser demand—isn't.
In the late 1950s, millions of television viewers were aghast to learn that they'd been subjected to an elaborate hoax. Popularly known as the Quiz Show Scandal, and dramatized in a 1994 Robert Redford movie, it was revealed that televised contests of intellect were not true competitions as they'd been pitched. Rather, according to a later finding by the U.S. House of Representatives, the shows were rigged, with some contestants being secretly provided answers and others being instructed to take a dive, resulted in a "complex pattern of calculated deception of the listening and viewing audience." In 1959, then-President Eisenhower opined that he was dismayed anyone could conspire to deceive Americans in such a way.
Earlier this month, Europol, a multi-nation EU-based law enforcement information sharing agency, revealed that 680 recent soccer matches were likely fixed for gambling purposes. The agency pinpointed more than 400 players, referees, and league/team officials from at least 15 countries as being involved in the game-rigging. Such revelations certainly resonate with American sports fans—the names of NBA referee Tim Donaghy, Arizona State basketball player Stevin Smith, Pete Rose, and Shoeless Joe Jackson immediately come to mind when thinking about prominent scandals here.

Gambling-related fraud of sporting events is a big deal, as it should be. Today (February 14), lawyers for the NCAA, NFL, NBA, MLB, and NHL are in a Trenton, New Jersey federal courtroom to argue that Governor Chris Christie's plan to allow Nevada-style sports gambling in the state runs counter to a federal law barring such wagering in all but four states and would ruin the integrity of sports. Specifically, the sports leagues, in their August 7, 2012 complaint, say that New Jersey's plan would "irreparably harm amateur and professional sports by fostering suspicion that individual plays and final scores of games may have been influenced by factors other than honest athletic competition."
What the sports leagues are alluding to is a concept called uncertainty of outcome. It's what differentiates spectator sports as a form of entertainment from other (scripted) options such as books, films, musicals, and professional wrestling. It's a primary reason sports are at least a trillion-dollar business—why broadcasters are willing to pay billions for the right to telecast sporting events, why advertisers were willing to pay upwards of $3.8 million for a 30-second advertisement during the recent Super Bowl, and why consumers are willing to dole out hundreds of dollars a year for various sports channels on cable television and pay-per-view events. It has even been analyzed in legal proceedings. In a high-profile 1997 case concerning who owns real-time sports data under copyright law, the federal judge reasoned that "[u]nlike movies, plays, television programs, or operas, athletic events are competitive and have no underlying script."
Studies have found increased fan enjoyment and heightened advertiser brand effectiveness during and after buzzer beaters. Leagues, broadcasters, and marketing agencies are surely aware of such studies.
Uncertainty of outcome is also the reason American sports fans should take a moment to pause when commercialized sports are juxtaposed with the Quiz Show Scandal from more than 50 years ago. The web of laws applicable to sports, such as the Sports Bribery Act of 1964, only prohibits gambling-related corruption. There is no federal law explicitly preventing the clandestine manipulation of sporting events to enhance suspense. This gap is problematic. As with certain televised quiz shows decades ago, the in-game action of sporting events can be contrived in profit-maximizing ways. The federal law passed in the wake of the Quiz Show Scandal does not explicitly include televised sports; it only forbids deception of the public in connection with contests of an "intellectual" nature. Wheel of Fortune, Jeopardy!, and Who Wants to Be A Millionaire are covered by the law. Football, basketball, and baseball are not.

Editor says, what if Herman Cain was an even more fake cowboy? Please note that the opinions expressed in this post do not necessarily reflect the views of the author(s).
In 2011, on this day sixty-five year old Herman Cain was cast in the lead role for the retro cowboy blaxploitation sequel movie "The Doc II".The Doc IIThe first blockbuster movie had starred Barry Obama and his dumb sidekick Joe Biden. Unfortunately the spinoff (a four-year HBO series) had met with high initial praise, but then suddenly ended without resolving any of the plot threads. Despite their pleading requests to get a second chance to restart or reset the concept (socialized quack medicine for the "have-nots"), the under-performing pair were firmly told that it was time for a change that the audience could believe in - before the network itself run out of funds.With the tired old cast of supporting actors stuck in a rut, Dodge City desperately needed to freshen up with some star quality. To re-energize the second movie installment, a "rough diamond" actor was sought who could cut to the chase (under his 9-9-9 plan he promised to clean-up the Town). And encouraging first reactions to his sensational, gritty acting style followed, a positive indication that the casting decision would be broadly welcomed by fans. But sadly, his ratings would drop sharply after a series of tawdry allegations emerged about his even more racey personal life.

DOTD begins feasibility of detour study for La. 70 near sinkhole
Louisiana DOTD has begun a feasibility study to identify a possible detour route for La. 70 in Assumption Parish due to a nearby sinkhole.
The study will also attempt to identify a cost.
DOTD says the study should be completed in September.
The corridor for the detour route has already been identified, and as the study progresses, DOTD will further refine its alignment.
DOTD's feasibility study continues to determine if a long-term alternate bypass route could be built in the affected area, in the event that the existing roadway is compromised.
Multiple alignments are being studied, including alignments around the salt dome cap and alignments around the entire salt dome.
Upon completion, the next step would be the environmental assessment, which would take another eight months.

Detroit, MI (Sports Network) - Brandon Inge's RBI triple in the eighth helped the Detroit Tigers take a 7-5 win over Arizona, sending the Diamondbacks to their franchise-record 14th straight road loss.
Magglio Ordonez hit a two-run home run, Inge finished 3-for-4 with two runs scored while Johnny Damon scored twice for the Tigers, who have won a season- high seven straight games, all against National League opponents.
Armando Galarraga was pulled after 4 1/3 innings as he was charged with four runs on seven hits with two walks and two strikeouts. Phil Coke (5-0) got the win for retiring the final two batters in the eighth.
Miguel Montero hit a solo home run while Chris Young and Stephen Drew each drove in a pair for the Diamondbacks, who have dropped four straight.
Dontrelle Willis lasted five innings in the start and was charged with five runs on five hits with four walks and four strikeouts. Chad Qualls (1-4) was handed the loss.
"It's been a long road for us, especially on the road," said Arizona manager A.J. Hinch. "I'm running out of ways to ddescribe some of these tough ones. We played just well enough to not pull it out."
With the score tied in the eighth, the Tigers took the lead. With one out, Brennan Boesch walked and moved to second on Carlos Guillen's groundout. Inge then launched a triple to deep center and Alex Avila followed with a single for a 7-5 lead.
"It makes you focus when you're at the plate and be selective with the pitch you take cause you don't want to waste an at-bat with a guy in scoring position," said Inge. "I just wanted to make sure I made contact and it worked out."
Jose Valverde set the Diamondbacks down in order in the ninth to pick up his 15th save of the year.
Detroit grabbed a 2-0 lead in the opening inning. With Damon on base after a fielder's choice, Ordonez clubbed a pitch over the wall in left-center, his ninth homer of the year.
The Tigers tacked on two more in the second as, with two men on base, Danny Worth clubbed a double that scored Inge. Ryan Raburn followed with a sac fly to plate Avila for a 4-0 advantage.
Arizona got one back in the fourth as Montero led off the frame by smacking a 1-1 pitch into the seats in right, his first homer of the season.
The Diamondbacks then tied the game in the fifth. Kelly Johnson doubled with one out and Drew followed with an RBI single. A base hit by Justin Upton and walk by Montero loaded the bases for Young, who punched a two-run single to left.
Brad Thomas then took over on the mound and retired the next two batters to escape the jam without further damage.
Detroit, though, regained the lead in the bottom of the fifth as back-to-back singles to start the inning left Damon on third and Don Kelly's sacrifice fly made it a 5-4 game.
Arizona came charging back in the sixth to again tie the game when Drew's single scored Gerardo Parra. Eddie Bonine took the mound in relief and got the next two batters out to end the inning.

MILTON-FREEWATER -- New federal flood maps aren't riding a wave a popularity here.
Produced for the Federal Emergency Management Agency, the maps are part of a $200 million-per-year effort to update and digitize the nation's flood plain maps. But county and city officials are crying foul over inaccuracies they say will cost residents dearly when it comes to buying flood insurance.
At a public meeting in April that drew more than 160 people, Milton-Freewater residents got their first look at the proposed new maps, which now show the possibility of shallow flooding in most of the city and some outlying areas. The changes will require many people to acquire flood insurance and will significantly impact the premiums they will be expected to pay.
In Milton-Freewater, the changes were caused by the de-certification of the levees along the Walla Walla River by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, which happened in 2008 after bond issues to raise money to fix deficiencies in the levees failed. By coincidence, this occurred at the same time the flood map modernization project got underway and the result is that "FEMA looked at (the city) as if the levees aren't there at all," said Linda Hall, Milton-Freewater city manager.
According to a recent Associated Press article, Milton-Freewater isn't the only community dissatisfied with the new FEMA maps. Civic leaders, developers and home owners in several states have complained that the new maps are riddled with inaccuracies, seem arbitrarily drawn, and will stifle growth and hurt property values.
"I don't know if this makes me feel better or worse to know that we are not alone with this outrageously erroneous floodplain map of our city," Hall said.
Unlike some cities, the Milton-Freewater City Council has chosen to appeal to FEMA on behalf of the citizens rather than make residents stage their own appeals, Hall said.
The city has made some progress. "It bought some time to get the levees fixed and also help delay the time before the city is mandated to adopt the maps," she said. The city is also pressing FEMA for a written promise that as soon as the levees are repaired and reaccredited, it would remove the city from the floodplain maps entirely.
City officials have also "brokered a deal with FEMA that will allow our citizens that do have to pay for flood insurance to buy it at a hugely reduced and discounted rate. For example, the owner of a 2,500 square-foot home would normally pay around $2,500 to $3,750 a year for flood insurance, depending upon crawl spaces, basements, etc. Under the 'preferred policy' program that same policy would cost between $150 to $300 a year for the same coverage."
In Iowa, Kansas and elsewhere the new maps are also causing consternation.
"Anyone building new construction, they are probably not going to settle here," said Mayor Benita Grooms about FEMA's proposed map for her town of Oakville, Iowa. "Why would they if they have to build their homes up so high and pay $2,000 for flood insurance?"
Garden City, Kan., has sued to prevent FEMA's proposed map for the city from taking effect. The map for the first time designates areas around two decades-old drainage ditches as flood prone, even though the ditches have never been a problem, said Kaleb Kentner, the city's community development director.
Should their challenge fail, the redistricting would force nearly 2,000 homes and businesses into a flood plain and force property owners to buy expensive flood plain insurance, Kentner said.
The proposed digital maps for Linn County, Iowa, are almost unrecognizable, said county planning and zoning director Les Beck. There is a stream that appears on aerial maps that isn't in the same place on the new digital maps, he said.
"You overlay the maps and it's just not the same," Beck said. "It's in a different location.
Josh deBerge, a FEMA spokesman based in Kansas City, Mo., said there are few substantial changes in the new FEMA maps, and that any major changes were made because advances in mapping technology allowed for better analysis.
"When home and business-owners know and understand their risk, they are more likely to take steps to reduce their risk," deBerge said.
FEMA welcomes criticism of the digital maps and is open to making changes if a compelling scientific case can be made, he said.
"What we're looking for is evidence, a study or survey that would provide more detailed information that can be incorporated," deBerge told the Associated Press.
Levee history
- Early 1950s -- Built by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the Milton-Freewater Water Control Project encompasses just under eight miles of levees to protect the city of Milton-Freewater and surrounding areas.
- 2007 -- Inspections by Corps engineers identify areas that need to be corrected to remove an "at-risk" designation for the levees. These are repair of a riprap slope and levee toe downstream of the Nursery Bridge, erosion of the stilling basin and drop structure below Nursery Bridge and erosion of the levee toe of the Couse Creek Road Bridge. A bond issue proposed by the water control district to raise money for the repairs fails to pass.
- 2008 -- A second bond issue to raise $1.5 million for the repairs also fails.

MISSISSAUGA, ON, Feb. 10 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ - YM BioSciences Inc. (NYSE Amex: YMI, TSX: YM), a life sciences product development company advancing a diverse portfolio of promising hematology and cancer-related products at various stages of development, today reported operational and financial results for the second quarter of fiscal 2011, ended December 31, 2010.
"At the American Society of Hematology Annual Meeting in December 2010, we presented interim data from the Phase I/II trial of our JAK inhibitor, CYT387, in myelofibrosis. In addition to demonstrating positive efficacy signals in the approvable endpoints in this indication, splenomegaly and symptomatic improvement, CYT387 also exhibited a promising ability to positively impact anemia, a major life-shortening symptom associated with myelofibrosis. We now look forward to updated data from the full 140 patient clinical trial in calendar mid-2011 to further quantify these outcomes, including the durability of this compelling anemia response," said Dr. Nick Glover, President and CEO of YM BioSciences. "We are encouraged by these data and accordingly are also reviewing development opportunities for the compound in other indications where the properties of our drug might benefit patients. During the quarter we raised net proceeds before expenses of $43.3 million, underscoring the shared desire our investors have for supporting the timely development this asset."
Highlights from the second quarter:
- Mayo Clinic announced positive interim data from the first 60 patients enrolled in the Phase I/II trial for CYT387 in myelofibrosis. The results were reported in an oral presentation at the 52nd American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting. - The Overall Response Rate (spleen, anemia), as per the International Working Group for Myeloproliferative Neoplasms Research and Treatment (IWG-MRT) criteria, was 62%. - Of the 53 evaluable subjects who had splenomegaly at baselin

I have been working at Clickatell full-time (more than an year)Pros
Real sense of character - small enough to be seen and heard, feels like family (good and bad).
Deeply and broadly held set of beliefs about what makes the company a great place to work and an ethical player in a fairly ethically challenged industry.
Generally very strong employee loyalty and engagement.
Some amazing Engineering talent, and well-embraced Agile practices.
Really pleasant working environment, lots of light and air, low noise, good equipment.
Fun staff activities and very active social corporate responsibility in a real way.
Some very smart, hard-working individuals who are really passionate about their field.
Lots of opportunity to roll up your sleeves and make the world a better place.
Good employee benefits, vacation benefits, humane workplace with room for family and life balance.Cons
Some truly bad apples, highly entrenched in their 'comfort zone'. Some clock-watching, some actively disengaged staff. Legacy of management incompetence to get the wrong people off the bus.
More tolerance for political nonsense than makes sense in a company this size.
Very much still on the journey to a mature company - lots of process immaturity, management immaturity, duplication of tools, overly manual processes, lack of managerial discipline, heroism required to save the day - all typical of a company in this phase of development.
Tension between executive managers often too transparent to staff at the ground level.Advice to ManagementAdvice
Hold the line on current strategic thinking - maintain focus, continue to build a sense of rhythm and discipline.
Continue to invest in maturing processes, practices and tools, and hiring strong middle management talent with experience beyond start-up, but not necessarily corporate.
Act decisively to remove toxic managers and individuals.RecommendsPositive Outlook

Stop paying attention to ranking systems that rely on irrelevant statistics. Adjusted yards per pass attempt is all you need to assess QB performance. And the No. 1 passer is...
Fifteen years ago, while plugging Football By The Numbers, a book I had cowritten with the sports economist and statistician George Ignatin, I got into an on-air verbal battle with a radio host who was also a football writer for the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. He asked me, "Who do you think is the greatest quarterback in NFL history?"
I asked him how he defined "the greatest." The most prolific? Held the most records? The one who figured at the top of the NFL's passer rating system? He replied, "Pick the best quarterback according to how you would select him."
Well, I told him, by that standard I would pick Bart Starr. The host was appalled. "Starr doesn't hold any important NFL records," he responded.
"You're wrong," I shot back, "He has one: most championships, five." (By the way, I meant the most in what I consider the modern era of the NFL, from 1958 to the present. Why 1958? That's the year Johnny Unitas put the NFL in the national spotlight by leading the Baltimore Colts to their sudden-death victory over the New York Giants and also marks Bart Starr's first NFL season.)
But he wouldn't let go. "That's what you're going by? Championships?"
"Well, yes," I replied. "That's what I would go by, unless winning the game isn't important." That sort of ended the debate.
It's true that some quarterbacks have won primarily because they played on great teams with great defenses, great receivers, and great blockers. In the first two years he won championship rings with the Steelers, Terry Bradshaw was mediocre to bad. And there have been three or four other QBs over the years that, like Bradshaw in his first two Super Bowls, were bad but not so bad that they kept their teams from going all the way.
But the importance of the quarterback is so ridiculously out of proportion to that of any other on offense or defense that QB performance must be weighted first in any consideration of winning factors. Different quarterbacks have played under different rules and strategies over different eras, but the importance of winning hasn't changed in any of those. And so while no rating system can take in every statistic, any decent one should rely on QB statistics that correlate with win percentage. There's an amazing number of ratings systems in existence, but few actually figure the primary—Vince Lombardi would have said the only—goal of the game: to win it. I've got one, though, that does.
First, take a look at what's out there. The best-known formula is the NFL passer rating system, which isn't bad but is absurdly complex. (Read it for yourself, but a warning: it might help to have that degree from MIT.) The NFL rating figures in statistics that, to me, are of a negligible importance, such as pass completion percentage. I've never understood why the percentage of passes completed matters when the length of a football field is measured in yards. It's how far you move the ball downfield that matters. Would you rather complete three of three passes for 10 yards or one out of three for 20?
There are other rating systems that figure in the effectiveness of a quarterback's running ability. I don't see why that should matter, either. A quarterback's primary job is to throw the ball. If he wants the ball kept on the ground, he should hand it off to one of his running backs.
There are systems like ESPN's Total Quarterback Rating, based on several factors that can only be subjectively determined, such as "Win Probability," "Dividing Credit," and "Clutch Index." Good luck with putting a number on all that, or with making your definition of what those terms mean match up with theirs.
Then there are systems that are just too simplistic. Scott Kacsmar, on a site called ColdHardFootballFacts.com, calculates "Champion's Fourth-Quarter Comeback Wins" as the ultimate gauge of greatness. (Peyton Manning, by the way, surpassed Dan Marino for first place with the Bronco's 35-24 win over San Diego on October 15 Monday Night Football. Peyton now has 37 fourth-quarter comeback wins. Marino, of course, has 36, and the next two are Johnny Unitas and John Elway, both with 34.) Fourth-quarter comeback wins is a very good yardstick. The problem is that it doesn't reward quarterbacks who don't get their teams in fourth-quarter deficits. Bart Starr, if I may use his example again, won as many championships as the top four comeback QBs combined.

Huge iPhone Fees Juice Apple
A sweet iPhone deal with AT&T (T) is paying off for Apple (AAPL) even faster than Wall Street expected.
It's well established that the world's most talked-about phone has lured thousands of
Until now, that is.
People close to the companies tell TheStreet.com that AT&T is paying Apple a bounty of between $150 and $200 per phone -- plus $9 a month per phone over the life of the typical two-year customer contract.AT&T didn't comment, and Apple said it would have no comment. But the figures show Apple is getting an unprecedented windfall on the sale of each new iPhone. Bulls on the stock believe the nifty terms -- which haven't been baked into Wall Street's earnings estimates for Apple -- could push Apple's highflying stock into the stratosphere. "This is unheard of," says one money manager who is long Apple. "No one has this plugged this into their models." "It's a pretty sweet deal for Apple, and not all that bad for AT&T," says IAG Research's Roger Entner. AT&T agreed to a five-year exclusive pact to sell the iPhone. The deal included a

I think that's insane that the parents sued.....I'm sure they were aware of the rules. Why do so many people think they are above the rules?

Well, the parents and child should have read the schools rule book.
I went to a school with a dress code. We could wear only solid colors too, except Fridays we could wear whatever we wanted (within reason). Could have been avoided if they'd just read.
This article does not say whether the parents had signed a dress code agreement, or what the dress code was, but I think the parents were being silly and ridiculous. It is just a pair of socks let them wear them at home.
My DD goes to a school with a strict dress code (private Christian school) and I love it. They even have to wear bike shorts under their skirts to avoid exposure on the playground and they all look so cute dressed like little adults.
If parents used some disgression in what they buy for their kids to wear, dress codes wouldn't be necessary. I saw an adult the other day with a t-shirt on in WDW that was very much on the edge of being rude. The word that that was being hinted at was a 4-letter word, and you knew what was being hinted. I thought it was in poor taste to wear it to a famiy theme park.
As for the school - If you want to change the rules of your school, then get a petition going and do it without bringing the whole thing to court. Surely the dress coed was spelled out in the school handbook.

I'm sure that anyone on the forum in the 5 boroughs has already heard about this upcoming beer festival on governors islandhttp://www.nybrewfest.com/
Who's going?
Does anyone know of any discount codes for admission?
I thought about it, but decided against it. I think its too expensive, especially since I can already get most of that beer anytime I want.
Im not going either for same reasons as ABG above.

"This dressing is delicious and my third year serving it! You can make it the day before and when baked, comes out perfect. I used less salt due to the sausage and two cups of stock. You will not be disappointed with this one! """
