Indiana's casinos suffer, and so do state's tax coffers
Blog Entry:
January 24, 2013 1:56 PM | Author: SCOTT SUTTELL
Indiana's casino operators and legislators are
looking nervously over their shoulders
at their new competitors — most prominently those in Ohio.
The New York Times
reports that since the mid-1990s, Indiana casinos "have filled state coffers with more than $10 billion in taxes and have drawn millions of visitors across state borders to try their luck at Indiana slot machines."
But those good times are ending.
"Citing a shaky economy and the growing threats of casino expansion in the neighboring states of Illinois, Kentucky and Ohio, a state report predicted 2012 'will be remembered as the relative calm before Indiana braces for the looming storm of interstate competition for gaming revenues,'" according to
The Times
. The state's incoming tax revenue from riverboat gambling alone is expected to dip by $73.6 million by 2015, a 15% decrease.
Indiana officials "seem most frightened of what is happening in Ohio, which opened its first three casinos in 2012," in Cleveland, Columbus and Toledo, according to
The Times
The new competition "has already been blamed for layoffs at Indiana casinos along the border," the newspaper says, and the situation for the Hoosier state could get worse with the opening in March of a Cincinnati casino.
The lesson,
The Times
concludes, is that as more states pursue casinos as an untapped revenue stream, they dilute the market for states that embraced casinos earlier. And if you're excited about what casinos bring to Ohio, just understand that someday, we'll be in Indiana's shoes.
See how they grow
Bloomberg runs a
long profile
of Bill Emerson, CEO of
Quicken Loans Inc.
, who has put the mortgage lender founded by
Cleveland Cavaliers
owner Dan Gilbert "near the very top of an industry that's reaping the rewards of a refinancing boom engineered by the Federal Reserve and President Barack Obama."
Quicken Loans "is taking advantage of the collapse of hundreds of rivals, retreats by some of the largest banks, and hurdles faced by new competitors," Bloomberg reports. The company in the third quarter overtook Citigroup Inc. as the country's fifth-largest mortgage originator, and it since has surpassed U.S. Bancorp and Bank of America Corp.
Lending jumped to $70 billion in 2012 from a previous record of $30 billion, but Mr. Emerson, 50, tells Bloomberg it still has room to grow.
"Our mission is to do as much or more than we did last year," says Mr. Emerson, a former walk-on at Penn State who became a captain of that university's 1982 national championship football team. "There's a massive market out there, and 93 out of 100 people still wake up and go somewhere else."
(That sounds
like something Mr. Gilbert would say.)
The company has a good chance to keep growing, says Mark Fleming, chief economist at real estate data firm CoreLogic Inc. He says unlike many rivals he has visited, Quicken's offices "buzz" with engaged employees, it runs a "slick marketing engine" and consumers are growing more used to online transactions.
"Things are changing and maybe you don't need those local relationships anymore," Fleming says.
This and that
Dream on:
Eaton Corp.
helping with the investigation
into the cause of a fuel leak blamed for a fire on one of Boeing's 787 Dreamliners.
"I can confirm we are fully supporting the investigation of the recent 787 fuel incident," an Eaton spokeswoman told Reuters. "Without speaking about either the incident or investigation, I can tell you that we do supply pumps and valves to the program."
The Times
of London
Wednesday that a factory run by Eaton's U.K. unit, Eaton Aerospace, may have produced a faulty valve actuator that caused a fuel leak blamed for a fire on one of the Dreamliners.
The paper said the plant in Hampshire, southern England, produced the part linked to the flow of fuel through sections of the plane.
One direction — down:
Four states in the industrial Midwest — Ohio, Indiana, Wisconsin and Michigan — accounted for about half the country's loss of unionized jobs in 2012, according to
this analysis
from Reuters.
The total number of union members fell by nearly 400,000, from 11.8% of the work force in 2011 to 11.3% in 2012, a U.S. Department of Labor report on union membership found. The 11.3% rate is the lowest since 1936.
Ohio alone
lost 43,000 union jobs
last year and now has 603,000 union members. (The state's 12.6% unionized rate remains above the national average.)
Union membership has been falling since 2008, when it was 16.1 million, or 12.4% of the work force, federal data show. Reuters says it peaked in 1954, when 28.3% of workers were represented by organized labor.
Your rich sports team owner update:
Ever wondered, "How many of the NBA's 30 team owners are billionaires?"
In case you did, Forbes.com
has your answer:
14, including the
Dan Gilbert, who's worth $1.9 billion.
The majority of the league's billionaires hail from smaller markets, Forbes.com says: Mr. Gilbert, Richard DeVos in Orlando, Herb Simon in Indiana and Paul Allen in Portland, to name a few.
"Wealthy owners certainly carry more value in smaller markets," the website notes. "Money for things like arena fix-ups, which Allen largely financed for Portland's Rose Garden, and brand new buildings to escape New Jersey in, which the Brooklyn Nets got thanks to (Mikhail) Prokhorov's partial buyout of Bruce Ratner, can get done despite relatively limited cash flows."

Beach Volleyball Online
UPDATE: This game has been shutdown and is no longer available
Beach Volleyball Online Overview
Beach Volleyball Online is the first volleyabll themed MMO out there! It's published by Omniverse Games and offers a unique blend of actual gameplay and social elements – sort of like Snail Game's ShowUp. Like any other beach themed volleyball game, Beach Volleyball Online, as expected, has gorgeous female character models! After all, what's a beach volleyball themed game without hot chicks?
Beach Volleyball Online offers various modes of play with a maximum of six players on the court at once. One of the more interesting game modes is the Audience Better Mode which, as the name implies, allows spectators to place bets on the outcome of the game. Players are rewarded with experience and money based on their performance in each match. While off the court, players are encouraged to explore the 'virtual world' elements of the game while also socializing and making friends. Upon making a character, players must choose from one of the three playable classes, which are:
Offensive – They have high "Spiking and Strength" stats but weaker "Setting and Receiving" stats. They are the primary offensive class in Beach Volleyaball Online and should play aggressively.
Defensive – They have high "Setting and Receiving" stats but weaker "Spiking and Strength" stats. They are great for assisting.
Strategic - They are basically a combination of the offensive and defensive classes. They are capable in all aspects of the game, but not particularly strong in any one attribute.

Beach Volleyball Online Review
By, Omer Altay
Beach Volleyball Online (BVO) is a straight forward 3D beach volleyball MMO from Omniverse Games with both social elements and actual volleyball gameplay. Props to the guys at Omniverse Games for releasing a beach volleyball themed MMO, as BVO is the first of its kind. Unfortunately, both the actual gameplay elements in Beach Volleyball Online and its social elements leave a lot to be desired.
To The Beach – Starting Out
Players start off in Beach Volleyball Online by first creating their character and choosing from one of three playable classes – Offensive, Defensive and Strategic. Each class has varying stats, but for the most part, each class plays largely the same, aside from only a few small differences. After playing FreeStyle Street Basketball and Hockeydash I was sort of expecting each class to play radically different, but that's not the case in Beach Volleyball Online. Appearance customization in the character creation screen is practically non-existent, but luckily the game's item store has a fair selection of clothing for players to customize their avatars.
Jump into the game
After creating a character and logging into the game for the first time, players will be asked whether they want to complete the games tutorial or not. I strongly recommend new players to complete the tutorial, as it only takes a few minutes and explains the basics of the game quite well. The tutorial explains that each team, like in real volleyball, can hit the ball three times before it must be sent over the net. The game recommends the first player should who receives the ball should passes it to a teammate (the second person) who should setup a spike for the third person. The game emphasizes the importance of team work, but from my experience with the game, players are better off simply returning the ball right away rather than trying to setup spikes, as it's quite easy to screw up while trying to setup a good spike. Obviously setting up spikes and working together is required in higher level games. One major complaint I have with Beach Volleyball Online is that since the playerbase is so low, it can be hard to find people to play with. Another thing is that since the game is available worldwide, many of the game's players don't even speak English – so communication can be a problem. Latency issues aren't uncommon either.
Another complaint I have with Beach Volleyball Online is that the actual gameplay mechanics aren't nearly as fluid as other sports MMOs. After playing top notch sports MMOs like FreeStyle Street Basketball and FIFA Online, it's hard to enjoy Beach Volleyball Online. The gameplay mechanics just feel awkward and it can take a good while to get a grasp of the game. Beach Volleyball Online doesn't really have a lot of content either. There are a few different maps and aside from their appearance they have no actual impact on the gameplay. Players can face off against each other in either 1v1, 2v2 or 3v3 games and can pick how many sets to play and points per set through the game's room based lobby. There are also only three game modes in Beach Volleyabll Online – Common (Players play freely with skills disabled), Skill (Players can use skills) and Pass (Players must pass to their team before returning the ball).
Part Deux – Socialize!
For some odd reason Beach Volleyball Online markets itself as a social game. Unfortunately, there's never too much socializing going on, as the game's chat channels are almost always empty. The game itself really isn't at fault here, as it just isn't that popular. But, the fact that the game only has a handful of chat areas is disappointing. Both the game's "club" and "beach" areas are extremely small. Another thing is that the game doesn't have ANY /dance and /hug type commands so the actual social elements in Beach Volleyball Online are practically non-existent. On the positive side, the game's item store has a fair selection of random accessories and clothing, so players can make their avatars look unique. If you're look for a social MMO, checkout Gaia Online or ShowUP instead.
Skills, Progression and Features
Skills in Beach Volleyball Online can be purchased in the game's store. Like all other items in the game, skills only last for a set amount of time, unless players purchase them for longer periods of time. These purchased skills can only be used in the game's "skill" mode though and can be extremely powerful if executed correctly. As players gain experience and level up, they can purchase new higher tier clothing, which further increases attributes. Experience is gained by winning matches. One interesting feature in Beach Volleyball Online is its audience battle system. In audience battle, players can spectate games and place wagers on the outcome of the game. Unfortunately, this will likely to lead abuse, as players could throw the game if their friends are betting on the opponent.
Final Verdict – Poor
Beach Volleyball Online tries to be original in a world full of copycat games. Unfortunately, both the gameplay and social elements in the game fall incredibly short. The gameplay mechanics feel awkward and random while the social elements are practically non-existent. Those looking for a solid sports MMO should look elsewhere, though I would like to give props to the game's developers, as Beach Volleyball Online was the first Volleyball themed MMO in the U.S.

Faculty psychologists to study effects of deployment on military families' lives
A new study, being conducted by Adam D. Brown, PhD and Kim T. Ferguson, PhD, psychologists at Sarah Lawrence, aims to examine whether families that know more about the events that took place in each other's lives during deployment will exhibit better psychological and behavioral wellbeing. Based on findings from studies of non-military families, that the researchers reviewed extensively, Brown and Ferguson say that although efforts are being made to address the psychological challenges facing military families there is a major gap in understanding how families talk to each other about the time that they were separated. Like other programs aimed at teaching skills to ease the transition to civilian life, Brown and Ferguson believe their data will inform the development of programs to help guide family conversations around this issue. It is their hope that the findings of this study will shed light on how certain ways of discussing deployment can ease the transition from combat to civilian life and strengthen the entire military family.

The staff was always friendly & attentive. The room was clean & spacious, all the Restaurants had great food & they had a variety of different foods to pick from. We loved the resort & it was always clean & beautifully kept, It was so relaxing.
This is quickly became our favorite number 2. i know, you can't have two favorites, but hey, it's Sandals. Great walk on beach down through a Nature Preserve, Stayed in the Italian Village and LOVED it! Dining was awesome but the biggest plus was location and view! Hills behind the peach dotted with homes and sunshine dappled waters easy for swimming and relaxing! We are bound for the Halcyon in St. Lucia this April returning to the Island for our 15th Wedding anniversary to the same beach we Honeymooned at. What is our other current favorite Sandals you ask? Sandals Antigua! We plan to return there and definitely again to the Whitehouse
My husband and I traveled to Antigua for our honeymoon. Obviously it has sentimental meaning for me. We loved the people and atmosphere. I'm celiac and they were so accommodating. Can't wait to return to celebrate 5 years in January 2015! Accommodations: Our room was very nice. We stayed in the Caribbean village. We had some issues as soon as we arrived to the room which we quickly looked after. Bed was extremely comfortable and we were really happy to be able to walk out our patio doors. Food: As mentioned before I'm celiac and couldn't be happier with how I was looked after. The staff were very attentive. Location: WOW! The beach is an absolute dream! Clear water and soft sand - what more could you want! Activities: We opted to do the introductory scuba diving course. LOVE!!! Hoping to finish our certifications when we go back :) Spa: So relaxing. We had a couples massage complete with a soak in a tub for two ;)
This was our first international vacation together. Negril, Jamaica is absolutely beautiful!! The staff were great and very friendly. My husband learned to play cricket with the locals. The room was clean and impressive. I will definitely come back to this resort.
Very nice resort. The staff were helpful and friendly.
This long weekend getaway was a surprise to my husband in celebration of his birthday. We had been to Sandals Whitehouse 4 years ago and had a wonderful time. This was no exception! From arrival to departure we were treated as special guests. Always greeted with a warm smile by all passing staff members. The room was beautiful and always clean and well stocked. We did not want for anything. The food was fabulous everywhere we ate. The afternoon pizza was my husband's favorite treat. A special thanks to Joe Blacks for making Craig's birthday dinner celebration a memorable one. Soon (we will) come back!

He was in the stands at Candlestick Park when Joe Montana found Dwight Clark for "The Catch" that sent the 49ers to their first Super Bowl. Brady has been compared by many to Montana, who won four Super Bowls with San Francisco.

(Courtesy: Junipero Serra High) Tom Brady: His Story Brady, number 12 in high school, was the starting varsity quarterback for two seasons (1993-94) and completed 236 of 447 passes (52.8 percent) for 3,702 yards and 31 touchdowns during his high school career.

(Courtesy: Getty Images) Tom Brady: His Story Brady earned three letters at Michigan (1997-99) and recorded a 20-5 record as a two-year starter for the Wolverines, after battling Drew Henson for playing time his senior year. In his final game, the 2000 Orange Bowl, Brady threw a career-best four TD passes on 34-of-46 passing, as Michigan beat Alabama, 35-34 in overtime. (Courtesy: Getty Images) Tom Brady: His Story Brady was drafted by the Patriots in 2000. "I thought maybe late third round but definitely like fourth or fifth round," he told "60 Minutes" in 2005. He was chosen in the end of the sixth round. Tom Brady: His Story Brady was inactive for the first 14 weeks of his rookie season. In Week 16, he played his first game in Detroit on November 23, 2000 (seen here). He entered the game in the fourth quarter and completed one of three passes for six yards.

In heavy snow in the final game at Foxboro Stadium, referee Walt Coleman overturned this play - an apparent fumble by Brady that would have ended the game. Instead, the Pats tied it and then beat the Oakland Raiders, 16-13, in overtime, thanks to two clutch field goals in the blinding snow by Adam Vinatieri. (Photo by MATT CAMPBELL/AFP/Getty Images) Tom Brady: His Story Brady told "60 Minutes" in 2005, the Oakland game was a turning point. "I had 32 voicemail messages on my phone.

Best Rooms for a Side Table
Any living room can be granted that finishing touch simply by adding a side table to two. Placing a side table against one end of a couch or between the two ends of your living room sofas can quickly tie together your home furniture.

Their unique and versatile appearance easily allows them to match many different living room styles ranging from modern to classical or traditional. A glass coffee table acts as an instant furniture focal point in your living room.

Sofa Tables vs End Tables
Once you have a sofa, the next most important pieces of living room furniture are accent tables. But do you know which ones to use in your space? Sofa tables and end tables both offer distinct benefits for your home, but they're often lumped together. In order to choose the best furniture for your living room, you'll want to learn the differences between sofa tables and end tables.
End Table Buying Guide
In the world of living room furniture, the sofa and coffee table might be the stars, but your end tables are important parts of the supporting cast. Without end tables, where would you put your lamps? Where would you set your drink? Where would you pile up the last week's worth of newspapers? End tables, also known as console tables, come in many shapes, sizes and styles. Whether you are looking for a traditional end table, round end table or basically any variety, this end table buying guide will show you how to buy end tables that will be just right for your home.

A sofa table can add so much to a living room, but with so many options available, you want to make sure you find the right sofa table for you.

Tips on Choosing a Console Table
Introducing fashionable coffee, sofa and end tables to your living room opens up many new decorating possibilities.

Facts about End Tables
Nothing will accent the furniture in your home quite like end tables selected to accent and complement sofas and room decor. Not only do end tables, or console tables, have the power to make the rest of your furniture sparkle; they are a functional addition to any living room. A cocktail table or some modern coffee tables make a perfect place to house reading material or room decorations, in addition to drinks for visitors. There are many reasons to pick up some end tables for every room in your home. Here are some end table facts to help you on your way.
Best Tables for Your Living Room

Choosing the right coffee, sofa and end tables for your living room is a very important choice. Keep reading for more information on the best tables for your living room.
Coffee Table Fact Sheet
Coffee tables aren't limited to holding coffee cups and oversize books. A popular piece of furniture, the coffee table may be in the living room, den or recreation room, or on the patio: anywhere people using a sofa and chairs may gather and require space to place a beverage or plate. They may hold game boards for spirited competitions or the pieces for a jigsaw puzzle. A coffee table can be a focal point or a demure accessory. This coffee table fact sheet should help you learn more about this versatile piece of furniture.
Best End Tables for a Cozy Living Room
Your living room can easily become cozy simply by grouping end tables, sofas, chairs, and other furniture together to create a more intimate setting that encourages conversation. The best end tables for a cozy living room often serve multiple purposes. They can be used simply as a place to set a warm drink on a winter evening or as a useful storage area where magazines, knitting, or other living room essentials are kept. Here are some things to consider when you're shopping for the perfect end tables.
How to Decorate with a Large End Table
Adding a decorative end table to your living room is a smart and classy move. End tables are elegant, stylish and convenient. Putting a table next to your sofa or recliner gives you a place to set your favorite books, magazines and coffee mug. When you add an end table to your living room there are a few things you need to be aware of in order to help it fit the rest of your living room furniture. A large end table will add a sophisticated look and feel to your living room. They're easy to add, but there are a few rules you should follow. Keep reading for more tips and ideas on how to decorate with a large end table.
How to Accessorize an Ottoman
Ottomans serve multiple purposes in home decor. Some people use them as footstools, pairing them with armchairs, loveseats or couches. Others invest in storage ottomans with removable tops or trays beneath. In some homes, ottomans may serve as coffee tables, cocktail tables or end tables. Accessorize your ottoman to increase its functionality as well as its style. Below, you'll learn how to accessorize an ottoman.
Necessary Living Room Furniture - Sofas
Take a good look at your living room furniture. Sofas and loveseats are a staple when it comes to the way your living room looks. Pair your sofa with a loveseat or ottoman, and your living room is well on its way to looking its best. Although most people own living room furniture like ottomans and end tables, few realize what an impact their sofa can have on a living room. Sofas and other accompanying furniture can either tie a living room theme together or break it. Keep reading for more information about sofas.
How to Arrange End Tables
You can use end tables in so many more places than just the two ends of your sofa. Look around your home and see where you could use a decorative accent piece, a little bit of storage, or just a place to set something down. Then you can shop for the end tables that will fill all of those needs.
Best Sunroom Furnishing Ideas
Sunrooms are often some of the most popular areas of any home. Large windows and garden views make sunrooms feel like outdoor retreats while still providing the cover and warmth of indoor rooms. Because sunrooms are connected more to the outdoors than any other room in your home, pick design elements and furniture that work with that theme. Below, you'll find some of the best sunroom furnishing ideas. Seating: One of the most important parts of a sunroom is the seating arrangement. Since you'll likely want to spend many warm nights and bright days in your sunroom, you'll need adequate seating. Sunrooms typically feature either wood furniture or wrought iron seating. When deciding what's right for you, consider the overall look of the room as well as the intended comfort level. Wooden furniture with thick cushions is warmer and more comfortable than metal. A wicker sectional sofa with comfortable cushions will work well with the design of a sunroom. Alternatively, wrought iron benches and chairs give a modern look and feel to a room. Mismatched plush armchairs are a great way to bring both comfort and casual elegance to a sunroom. Tables: When picking out tables for your sunroom, consider how you're going to use the area. Choose a low table that can act as a coffee table for guests to set down their drinks. Tables with glass inserts match sunrooms well because of surrounding glass windows. Sunrooms are a popular place to go during parties and family get-togethers, so consider adding a small dining table and chairs to the room for meals. Design elements: Although sunrooms are indoors, they tie in the nature and wonder of the outdoors. Choose design elements that bring both sun and nature into the room. Wicker planters can hold plants of your choice. Place planters on side tables and on the floor next to entrances to give an inviting impression as guests enter the room. Artwork can change a bland sunroom into something charming and interesting. Look for paintings and sculptures that incorporate colors and themes from the surrounding decor.

Best End Tables for Each Room
Although the most popular room for end tables is undoubtedly the living room, you can place these tables in nearly every room in your home. When considering how to fit end tables in the rooms of your home, consider the room decor and whether or not the style of the end table matches your own. Even more basic than the style of end table is its shape, so consider how it will fit into your room. End tables can be square, rectangular, round or oval. Some end tables even nest together. One shape of end table might look best next to a recliner, while another might be perfect next to a sectional sofa. Look carefully at the room in which you will be placing the end tables. Is dark wood or light wood prevalent? Is it a small room or large room? Will the table sit in a corner, against a wall or in the middle of the room? As you can see, end tables are quite flexible. Here are some tips on placing end tables in your home.
Best Coffee Table Materials
When it comes to coffee tables, materials aren't much of an obstacle. Coffee tables have become so popular that they are now made out of pretty much every material used to make furniture. Whether you have a square coffee table or a round coffee table, you can find it in just about any material you like. Next time you are choosing a new accent table, cocktail table, end table or coffee table, you'll have plenty of options. However, some comparison might be helpful. Here are some of the most popular materials used to make coffee tables to help you on your way.
How to Choose a Coffee Table
Usually, a coffee table is the center point of a sitting area. This area might be a small, cozy place with a sofa and a couple of chairs, a medium-sized family room that needs to be inviting for kids and their friends or an elegant living room designed for entertaining guests. You'll want to keep several considerations in mind when choosing your coffee table, including size, material, style and function. Taking a little time to prepare for the purchase can help you find a great addition to your existing furniture.
How to Buy Upholstered Furniture
Whether it's a sofa for your living room, a chaise for your bedroom, or a chair for your dining room, upholstered furniture is comfortable and stylish. You may be tempted to simply pick your favorite color, but remember that the inner construction of each piece makes just as much difference to the quality as the exterior does. When you're shopping, consider all of the features, and you'll end up buying pieces that will perfectly suit your needs.

Jamie and Bobby Deen grew up in Georgia—first in Albany and then in Savannah—and, like many Southerners, they have always considered cooking and food a big part of their lives. When their mother, Paula Deen, started a sandwich delivery business in 1989, the boys took charge of deliveries. As the business grew into The Lady restaurant, they continued to help. Then, in 1996, the trio opened The Lady & Sons Restaurant to resounding success. They haven't looked back since. They regularly appear on ABC's Good Morning America and had their own Food Network show, Road Tasted.
