New Images of the Frank Gehry Facebook Campus Released
After Facebook assumed the former Sun Microsystems complex in Palo Alto in 2011, Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg set out to find an architect capable of handling a grand design for its main main headquarters building. Zuckerberg chose world famous architect Frank Gehry for the job (amid major concessions to the city of Palo Alto).
If he was looking for impact, Zuckerberg could have made no better choice. Gehry's past designs have become renowned tourist attractions, like the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, Spain. They are considered some of the most important works of contemporary architecture on the planet.
Photos of the Gehry model that will become Facebook's new HQ have been floating around for a couple of years. But with the building slated for completion next year, Facebook provided these new, exclusive images to Business Insider of what the world can expect from Gehry's latest design:
Six Essential Materials & The Architects That Love Them
In case you missed it, we're re-publishing this popular post for your material pleasure. Enjoy!
To celebrate the recent launch of our US product catalog, ArchDaily Materials, we've coupled six iconic architects with what we deem to be their favourite or most frequently used material. From Oscar Neimeyer's sinuous use of concrete to Kengo Kuma's innovative use of wood, which materials define some of the world's best known architects?
Congress Aids the Impending Doom of Gehry's Eisenhower Memorial
Congress budget cuts have officially stalled Frank Gehry's controversial Eisenhower Memorial, according to a recent report, rejecting $49 million in construction funds and cutting the Eisenhower Memorial Commission's annual budget in half. Unless the commission is able to raise a substantial amount of private funds, as well as win support from the Eisenhower family (which is doubtful), Gehry's "grandiose" memorial is unlikely to ever break ground. Despite this, the commission's director is optimistic, stating that the FDR Memorial took nearly 45 years to get built. You can read more about the controversy here.
Gehry's Grand Avenue Project Wins LA County Supervisors' Approval
After being rejected for appearing too "boxy" and not appealing enough to pedestrians, Related Companies' revamped Grand Avenue vision has finally won unanimous approval from county supervisors. The $750-million plan, which was abruptly halted back in September when Gensler's toned-down version was deemed greatly "disappointing" by the city, will now move forward with a more playful (and pricey) design by the project's original architect, Frank Gehry.
40 Architecture Docs to Watch In 2014
This time last year we published our 30 Architecture Docs to Watch in 2013 featuring a fantastic range of films telling the tales of some of the world's greatest unsung architectural heroes. We now bring you eleven more for 2014, looking past the panoply of stars to bring you more of the best architectural documentaries which will provoke, intrigue and beguile.
Frank Gehry: "I'm Not a Starchitect"
For Peter Aspden's first encounter with the architect of the Guggenheim in Bilbao and the Walt Disney Concert Hall in LA, Frank Gehry did not "exude sweetness." "You are not going to call me a [...] 'star-chitect'? I hate that." In a candid interview with the Financial Times, Gehry discusses the problem of being branded for beginning the Bilbao Effect in spite of the fact that he insists that "you can't escape your signature." Gehry talks at length about Facebook's latest headquarters and, in particular, his relationship with his client, Mark Zuckerberg. Read the full interview here.
Frank Gehry to Submit Grand Avenue Vision to L.A. City Officials
After reviewing proposals from a selection of other firms, Related Companies has chosen to move forward with Frank Gehry's Grand Avenue vision for Los Angeles. The design, which abandons the fluid forms of Gehry's original scheme, has been described by critic Christopher Hawthorne as "significantly more exuberant and suggestive of L.A. culture" than Gensler and Robert A.M. Stern Architects' recently rejected proposal.
Museum Round Up: The Box is Back
In a recent article for the Denver Post, Ray Rinaldi discusses how the box is making a comeback in U.S. museum design. Stating how architecture in the 2000's was a lot about swoops, curves, and flying birds – see Frank Gehry and Santiago Calatrava - he points out the cool cubes of David Chipperfield and Renzo Piano. We've rounded up some of these boxy works just for you: the Clyfford Still Museum, the Kimbell Art Museum Expansion, The St. Louis Art Museum's East Building, Tod Williams and Billie Tsien's Barnes Foundation, and Shigeru Ban's Aspen Art Museum. Each project begins to show how boxes can be strong, secure, and even sly. Check out more about the article here.
How Would You Design Grand Avenue?
"Will Grand Avenue finally turn around? Most likely not until they make it a two-way, add more trees, bike lanes, and pedestrian amenities. Buildings alone can't do it, no matter how daring, novel (or expensive) the architecture." — Guy Horton, The Indicator, "Ten Years Later, Has the Disney Concert Hall Made a Difference?"
The latest controversy surrounding the Grand Avenue re-design, the long-awaited project to develop the stretch of land east of the Walt Disney Concert Hall, is the re-instatement of Frank Gehry, a move which occurred after the city of LA rejected plans from mega-developers Related Cos. (designed by Gensler in collaboration with Robert A.M. Stern) for being "overly commercial." Of course, while the Related Cos. plans may have failed to wow the city, the decision to bring Gehry back to the project hasn't exactly been embraced either.
A must-see article in Zócalo Public Square asks four urban planning experts, "what would you do with Grand Avenue?" In his latest ArchDaily column, Guy Horton offers his opinion: any re-design must rely on activating life on the street-level, rather than on one architectural solution. Well, ArchDaily readers, now we'd like to know your thoughts on the matter.
The Indicator: Ten Years Later, Has the Disney Concert Hall Made a Difference?
On October 23rd, the Walt Disney concert hall, the project that almost never was, will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. Throughout these ten years it has had all manner of transformative power attributed to it. But has it really transformed LA? What would the city have been like if it had never been built? Would it be fundamentally different?
The answer? No.The city wouldn't even be that different in the immediate vicinity of Grand Avenue.
Gehry Confirms His Return to LA's Grand Avenue Project
The Los Angeles Times' Christopher Hawthorne may have hoped for (and indeed hinted at the possibility) of Frank Gehry's return to the Grand Avenue Project, the long-awaited plan to develop the stretch of land east of the Walt Disney Concert Hall, but now the speculation has finally become fact. Speaking last week at a panel discussion meant to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the Disney Hall, Gehry finally put the rumors to rest.
More details, after the break.
If Skyscrapers Predict Crises, What Do "Donuts" Tell Us?
In a recent article for the Financial Times, Edwin Heathcote explores the 'Skyscraper Index', an informal term that suggests a correlation between the construction of a big company's ambitious headquarters and subsequent financial crisis: "Think of the Empire State Building opening into the Wall Street crash of 1929, the Twin Towers being completed as New York City was flirting with bankruptcy or the Petronas Towers in Kuala Lumpur taking the mantle of the world's tallest building and presaging the Asian financial crisis." Heathcote goes on to describe the latest generation of headquarters being constructed for our current, tech-oriented goliaths – like Apple's monolithic "donut", by Foster + Partners, and Facebook's Gehry-designed Menlo Park campus - and wonders: "if skyscrapers can tell us something about the temperature of an overheating economy, what do these groundscraping new HQs say?" Read the full article here.
Gehry's Walt Disney Hall Turns 10
It's been called a "remarkable work of public architecture" that "engages [the city of] Los Angeles" like few others. With the 10 year anniversary of Frank Gehry's Walt Disney Concert Hall approaching, the LA Times, with some great, in-depth coverage, has been taking a look back at its architecture and what makes it such an important icon for both Gehry and LA. Oh, and don't forget to check out its soon-to-be neighbor on Grand Avenue, the Broad Museum by Diller Scofidio + Renfro!
On Art, Urbanism, and Gehry in LA: A Conversation with Edwin Chan
In this article, which originally appeared in Metropolis Magazine's Point of View Blog as "Q&A: Edwin Chan," Iman Ansari interviews Edwin Chan, a design partner at Frank Gehry architects for 25 years, about Gehry and the many significant cultural and institutional projects he worked on before starting his own practice, EC3.
Iman Ansari: When we look at the work of Frank Gehry or Thom Mayne, as LA architects, there is a certain symbolic relationship to the city evident in the work: the industrial character of these buildings and elements of the highway or automobile culture that tie the architecture to the larger urban infrastructure, the scale of the projects, as well as the conscious use of materials such as metal, glass or concrete. But as freestanding machine-like objects sitting at the heart of the city these buildings also embody certain ideals and values that are uniquely American, such as individualism, and freedom of expression. In your opinion how is Frank Gehry's work tied to Los Angeles or the American culture?
Edwin Chan: Absolutely. I think Frank's work definitely has DNA of LA as a city. We talk about the idea of a democratic city a lot, and coincidentally Hillary Clinton mentioned that in her speech recently saying: "We need a new architecture for this new world, more Frank Gehry than formal Greek," because it's the expression of democracy. In that sense you could think about the building embodying certain type of values that are manifested architecturally.
Same Time Zone, Different Standards
The Getty's Pacific Standard Time Presents: Modern Architecture in L.A. hosted A. Quincy Jones: Building for Better Living at UCLA's Hammer Museum and Contemporary Architecture from Southern California (formerly known as A New Sculpturalism) at MOCA Geffen for the better part of this summer. These two exhibits, on view until September 8 and 16 respectively, give us insight into Los Angeles' past and present architectural legacies. They take on fundamentally different challenges. One uncovers a prolific and primary history of a modernist architect, the other attempts to capture and catalogue an unwieldy and unstable present.
Read on after the break for reviews of both exhibitions…
Gehry's Eisenhower Memorial Takes Major Step Forward
Frank Gehry's revised design for the controversial Eisenhower Memorial has been approved by US Commission of Fine Arts in a 3-1 vote – a major step forward after the project's funding was nearly scraped last year. Though Gehry's redesign was welcomed by the commission, BDOnline reported that they've requested he removes the three woven metal tapestries that border the site, as they believe the scale "undermined Gehry's attempt to convey the president's humility." Gehry accepted this request and now awaits re-authorization from Congress.

text: The Panya wiki last edited by curlie_mcgee on 05/06/13 06:40PM View full history Panya is a classically trained belly dancer and former stripper who worked the seedy underbelly of Los Angeles clubs. She has a knack for guns, manipulation, and lies. She also bares an uncanny resemblance to Sahara. And it's Casbah Joe who decides to take advantage of the fact, when he hires the seductive doppelganger as a performer in his restaurant, The Eye of the Needle. While attending a show with his fiance Sahara, Horn comments on the similarity between the two women. A simple, by-the-way remark that would lay the seeds of Sahara's plans... so she can go out and explore the city from time to time, without Obadiah's bodyguards and ever-watching eyes. Sahara uses Panya as her double, but it is a decision that would change both of their lives.

News on scam sports betting operations, events and business deals within the offshore sports gambling industry.
Sportsbook Review has released a UFC 187 Prop Bet directory. Taking place this Saturday in Las Vegas, the headline of the card is Daniel Cormier vs. Anthony Johnson. Sports bettors who originally wagered on Jon Jones in the main event had their tickets voided when Jones ran afoul of the law and was suspended by UFC. This article takes a look at how to use the UFC 187 betting guide as a resource.
Sportsbook Review has a comprehensive NFL futures and prop bets page showing betting markets offered by top football sports betting websites. This article takes a look at some of the top end prices available at these websites for betting on professional pigskins. With the NFL regular season less than four months away, sportsbooks are shifting into a second gear with their futures and prop bet offerings.
Topbet Sportsbook manager has told SBR that all players have now been paid. Recently, SBR reported of a string of payout complaints caused by what management indicated were as a result of a third party processor. Players were given workaround payments rather than have to continue to wait for the original processor to honor the payments, despite concerns that users might be paid twice.
Update: Dashbet Sportsbook is still off-line and players have been given no update. The sports betting site owed players more than $60,000 prior to pulling the plug on their operations, and had blamed processor problems as well as gaming legislation for their failure to pay promptly. Players are continuing to log their complaints with SBR.
Sportsbook Review reported on May 11 that MB24 (SBR rating D-) announced its upcoming closure. The sports betting site will cease to exist as of the 31st of this month. SBR urged players to request to be paid their balances and to write in with feedback to let SBR know how the process went. One such player has written in asking for help withdrawing his €1,300 balance.
Online sportsbook Marathonbet (SBR rating B+) have been added to the free SBR betting odds grid. Marathonbet was recently profiled by SBR and issued with a full review. The sports betting site cleared up pending issues involving players that did not adequately pass the Know Your Customer (KYC) process, and has received a rating upgrade to B+.
The NFL Prop Bets and Futures directory has been updated with four new wagering markets. With the NFL regular season fast approaching, this is the time many seasoned sports bettors look to identify exotic betting value and lock in wagers that are considered +EV (positive expected value) ahead of the 2015-16 NFL regular season.
Sportsbook Review occasionally receives complaints from players who insist that they bet a certain side, only to realize that once the market is graded, their bankroll has not grown, because the wager they thought they placed was not what their sports betting site ticket read, thus their bet was graded as a loss. Can anything be done in these situations?
There are 1,015 views and over 30 replies in forum topic "The future of Bitcoin for Sports Betting". The post began with a news video by SBR's Natalie Rydstrom and has taken off from there with those for and against bitcoin as a legitimate option for sports bettors to have in their arsenal. One of the strongest expressed opinions is that for the international bettor, there's less of a need to bet with BTC.
The French Open is just eight days away and sportsbooks are adjusting their lines accordingly. Sportsbook Review has a French Open betting directory which lists the best sports betting industry pricing and player payoffs. The sportsbooks have set world number one Novak Djokovic as an average -115 favorite, meaning a $115 wager is needed to win $100.
Five new Sportsbook.com (SBR rating D-) slow-pay complaints have been reported by players. Sportsbook Review recently made contact with a new manager at Sportsbook.com who stated that he would be reviewing the complaints and contacting each of the users who have been waiting for payouts for longer than the advertised time-frame of five weeks.
American Pharoah has won the 2015 Preakness Stakes. All sportsbook markets involving a possible Triple Crown remain alive headed into the Belmont Stakes next month.

Sportsbook Review has updated the Preakness Prop Bets directory with available market offerings and a side by side odds grid showing each of the top sports betting websites payouts on the colt to win the prestigious event.
An LSbet Sportsbook (SBR rating C-) player has refused to comply with the sports betting websites request to photograph himself holding his ID card. The player stated that he believes he complied with all reasonable requests that the online sportsbook had to establish his identity - such as scanning his ID card and utility bills, but will not budge on this latest KYC request.
Sportsbook Review.com news host Natalie covers two recent topics to hit the SBR newswire. Topic one involves an update to a long-standing VIPSports.eu bonus complaint and SBR's new findings that cast doubt on the player's original story. Topic two is an update in the ongoing saga of BetMayor Sportsbook (SBR rating F) and the $51,000
BetMayor Sportsbook (SBR rating F) players who have received payment thus far from the sports betting site are urged to write to firstname.lastname@example.com. The sportsbook is reportedly undergoing an acquisition which will see all players be paid, as well as the $51,000 casino winner SBR reported had his blackjack winnings voided. To date, no confirmed payouts have taken place.
54.5% of bets are on the LA Clippers to cover the spread of -8.5 against the Houston Rockets according to SBR Odds. The line opened at -7.5 and has been bet up by a whole point. One sportsbook manager speaking on condition of anonymity indicated that both sharps and recreational bettors are on the Clippers. For a full list of sportsbook lines on tonight's NBA playoffs game, visit SBR Odds.
Online sportsbooks set the line for the total number of Pay Per View (PPV) buys for the Floyd Mayweather vs. Manny Pacquiao super-fight at an average line of 3.15 million total buys. The prop was priced at -215 for the over, so $215 won $100, and had a generous return of +170 or $170 for every $100 bet. There was particular interest amongst sports bettors and financial pundits on where the total number of PPV buys would land.
The owner of BTG Global, the software company which manages and provides processing for a stable of online sportsbooks, has revisited a dispute previously reported on by Sportsbook Review. The complaint centered around a player who believed that his earned winnings were unfairly prorated, instead of the bonus he received.
The SBR sportsbook bonus directory has been updated. Players shopping for the best sports betting bonus by website can order the page in several ways - by the amount of the pure bonus (referred to as "True Bonus"), rollover, maximum bonus per offer, as well as countries restricted are also listed on the best bonus list.
Sportsbook Review reported last month on six Topbet (SBR rating C-) payout complaints. Topbet management later provided a statement to SBR explaining the reason behind the delays, which hinged on a third party processor and a breakdown in communication. Three of the players have confirmed receiving payment.
American Pharoah is the betting favorite for the 140th Preakness Stakes this Saturday. Online sportsbooks have started to release prop bets on the performance of American Pharoah; among these bets are wagers involving a possible Triple Crown if Pharoah is successful at Preakness, as well as bets on the field of horses scheduled to run.
A member of Sportsbook.com (SBR rating D-) management is now speaking with SBR concerning the dozen slow-pay complaints reported. Players have stated that their funds are not being paid within the lengthy five week time-frame quoted by support. SBR provided a list of these complaints for Sportsbook.com to review. Players in need of assistance should write to email@example.com.
On April 30th the jury reached a verdict in the case of Bartice "Luke" King, formerly of Legendz Sports. The original multiple count superseding indictment had been reduced to three counts: Operating an Illegal Gambling Business, Money Laundering and the most serious; RICO (Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations).
The jury sided with the government on both the Illegal Gambling and Money Laundering charges but in dramatic fashion acquitted Mr. King on the more severe RICO charge. The government's motion to reprimand Mr. King into custody following the two guilty verdicts was denied by the court.
The court has since ruled that government lawyers have "opened the door" for the three current Legendz defendants (Rodger Vanpelt Bramley, Kelly Ward Diebner, and Leon Mark Moran, Jr.) currently standing trial.
Lawyers for these defendants will now be able to inform the jury that the alleged ring leader of the conspiracy was found not guilty of the most serious charge of which they are also on trial for. The court also noted the defense, unlike prosecutors, has not opened the door for prosecutors to tell the jury that Mr. King was convicted on two of the three charges. Other Legendz defendants who have been found guilty or pleaded guilty previously to the RICO charge are one by one filing motions for new trials or outright acquittals on the RICO charge.
The trial for Mr. King began on April 14th as reported by SBR. The jury deliberated for two days.
Blacklisted betting site MB24 (SBR rating D-) has announced that it is set to close on May 31st. The online sportsbook has claimed that all player balances will be honored.

The theme of this poker contest is that players are ranked in accordance to their performance in any of the three daily poker tournaments at the SBR Poker room and is titled the SBR World Poker Cup 2015. The most recent poker contest held at SBR is sending the winner to the 2015 WSOP Main Event in Las Vegas.
The point spread betting odds have dropped from +7.5 to +6.5 in favor of the Houston Rockets, and sportsbooks have taken 57% of wagers on the Rockets to cover per SBR odds wagering data. Players lost on Cleveland vs Chicago as the 60% of bets were on the Cavaliers to cover in the earlier game today.
Players with BetUS Sportsbook (SBR rating C-) feedback are encouraged to write in. The sports betting site has accumulated mostly complaints over bonus handling and customer service in recent years, and has no payout complaints on file. Sportsbook Review is evaluating BetUS for a possible rating upgrade. Players with unresolved issues are urged to submit a sportsbook complaint.
Sportsbooks have moved the line by three points since the opener for this afternoon's Cleveland Cavaliers vs. Chicago Bulls NBA playoffs contest. Chicago opened as one point favorites per SBR Odds and are now being offered by betting sites as three point underdogs.

BetMayor Sportsbook has told SBR that they have reversed course and decided to honor the casino winner's $51,000 balance which was initially wiped out after the player was accused of violating their terms and conditions regarding professional play.

Sportsbook Review reported on April 27 that BetPhoenix (SBR rating C) management was investigating a payout complaint originally posted in March.

BetPhoenix clarified part of the complaint, and offered a credit to the player to resolve the issue.
Sportsbook Review news host Natalie Rydstrom breaks down why sports bettors are rooting for bitcoin (BTC) to stabilize and eventually be adopted by a majority of online sports betting websites. As SBR noted in a recent market watch report, bitcoin has held steady for over two weeks without a significant dip in value. | Watch the Report
A BetMotion Sportsbook (SBR rating C+) player has filed a complaint seeking assistance with the sports betting website. The player requested a payout of €242.50 two and a half weeks ago. He was told that the funds would be paid in two weeks, but to date the payment has not been received. Sportsbook Review is following up on the complaint.
An LSbet Sportsbook player has filed a complaint against the sports betting website. He deposited €120 by Skrill intent on receiving a sportsbook cash bonus. He wagered the required number of times as outlined to be credited with the bonus, but the bonus ended up being declined. The player provided various ID documents, but this did not resolve his issue.
The 2015-16 NFL regular season is just four months away. The off-season is a time many sports bettors look to find futures betting value. Online sportsbooks are beginning to move their numbers on the winner of Super Bowl 50 and related markets, making now the time to plan your strike and to get the best possible betting odds on your favorite team.
The value of bitcoin has remained steady at the $230ish mark for the better part of the last two weeks. This type of consistency is exactly what might compel sports bettors to legitimately consider switching their deposits and withdrawals to the anonymous crypto-currency. Sports bettors in several countries have watched the performance of bitcoin closely and for good reason.
There are an overwhelming number of online sports betting websites to choose from, so the question becomes, how can you make sure you choose the right one based on your needs?

Sportsbook Review has recently made contact with Unibet management (SBR rating C-) to discuss an old player complaint originally submitted by a player last year. SBR agreed not to disclose the particulars of the complaint as far as how the player was determined to be in violation of the house terms and conditions, but was given an update on what the player can do next.
Sportsbook.com (SBR rating D-) players have reported that payouts are taking a minimum of five weeks. The sports betting website has consistently been ranked lowly by players and within the industry for failure to pay promptly and confiscating winnings freely, including the infamous correlated parlay confisactions of yesteryear.
Sportsbook Review has updated the cash and freeplay bonuses listing which shows industry incentives from sports betting websites. Players can compare sign up bonuses in several ways: By the actual amount of the overall bonus value, bonus percent, by the play-through or rollover requirement, as well as the maximum bonus offered. Bigger does not always mean better with sportsbook bonuses, hence the many ways the list can be used.
Sports betting website Oddsmaker Sportsbook (SBR rating F) has confiscated more than $250,000 from winning players. Players have reported that their funds have been confiscated on the grounds that they are "professional" players and that they have violated terms and conditions by winning, much like the recent $51,000 complaint against BetMayor.

Update: LSbet Sportsbook has discussed more of the particulars with Sportsbook Reveiw on the issue initially reported two weeks ago. The online sports betting website provided sufficient evidence that the player attempted to defraud the sportsbook. An LSbet Sportsbook (SBR rating C-) player has filed a complaint alleging that the online sports betting website has confiscated his funds without just cause.
Over 100 betting props are posted in the Sportsbook Review props directory for tonight's super fight between Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao. Sports bettors looking to find the best outright odds can also view the market for the winner's market, which has shifted as much as 20 cents following Friday evening's weigh in.
Sportsbook Review occasionally receives questions from players who are confused by some of the bonus terms published by their sports betting website of choice. A third of complaints involving bonuses center around some disagreement over whether or not wagering requirements have been fulfilled, most often due to a miscalculation of what is called the sportsbook rollover. What is rollover?
If you're a player reading this who has an issue with a sports betting website, all hope is not lost. Sportsbook Review operates a dispute mediation service which is free of cost. Simply submit a sportsbook complaint form with details of the problem you're having, taking care to answer as many of the five W's as you can: Who, what, why, where, when. The more detailed you are, the better.
A verdict was handed down in the case against Legends Sports owner Bartice "Luke" King.
King was found not guilty of the first and most significant charge against him - conspiracy to conduct Legends Sports through "racketeering activity" (RICO). King was found guilty on charges two and three - conducting an illegal gambling business and money laundering. He now awaits sentencing for the two charges; an official court order indicates that the probation office has also been polled - King's lawyers are pushing for probation. Sportsbook Review will update when the official sentencing takes place.
There are five outstanding EzStreet Sports (SBR rating F) payout complaints on file. The players have reported that the online sports betting website has failed to honor the payout time-frame advertised on their website, and that, coupled with the abrupt suspension of customer service via telephone, has led players to conclude that the sportsbook is in bad shape.
The sports bettor who didn't have the ball bounce his way in the betting dispute against VIPSports.eu (SBR rating D-) has asked for an update. The sports betting website controversially decided to pay only 50% of the player's winnings on an NHL prop bet that it contended should not have been placed at the limit the software allowed. This article explains what happened.
Sportsbook Review has updated the Floyd Mayweather vs. Manny Pacquiao prop bets list. Over 90 betting props are available as of this time, with well over 120 ways to bet expected by the time the bell sounds Saturday night. SBR expects line movement one way or another to occur immediately after tonight's weigh-in, which makes shopping for the best odds all the more important.
Bitcoin (BTC) has sat around the $235 mark for the last two weeks. The crypto-currency has seen better days, but don't count out bitcoin just yet, there are many hundreds of popular industries and millions of users across multiple platforms cheering for BTC to climb back up in value; online sports bettors are one such group. Keep reading to find out why.
Sports bettors who accepted the online sportsbook odds of Jameis Winston to be selected first overall in the 2015 NFL Draft cashed their tickets. The average sports betting line had Winston as a -600 or 6 to 1 betting favorite, meaning $600 was needed to win $100. Winston's name was called by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. | See archived NFL Draft Prop Bets
Sportsbook Review reported on April 27 that online sports betting website BetMayor (SBR rating F) was acquired by Panama based tech company Media-Tech Inc. Players were sent notices via email stating that their balances would be honored, though no particulars were given on the status of pending payouts or if the BetMayor balances would be accompanied by a rollover.
An MB24 Sportsbook (SBR rating D-) player has filed a complaint. The player has stated that he won $10,789 in March. He successfully received a $2,000 payout at the beginning of April, but since that time he has received an error when he attempts to order additional payouts. He has claimed that MB24 has failed to provide a solution allowing him to make a withdrawal.
Three new Sportsbook.ag (SBR rating D-) payout complaints have been reported by players. The players are waiting for $6,000 collectively and have waited for at least five weeks to be paid. The online sports betting website is presently stating that payouts are delayed, and that the average time-frame to be paid is 3-5 weeks at the moment.
Updated: Five new NFL Draft Prop Bets added. Sportsbook Review has listed 2015 NFL Draft Prop Bets ahead of day one of tomorrow's NFL Draft. Jameis Winston is a 6 to 1 betting favorite to be the first pick in the draft, meaning a $600 bet is needed to win $100. Bettors shopping for sportsbook value can receive up to 80x their money if Amari Cooper is selected with the top pick.
Sportsbook Review has updated the Mayweather vs. Pacquiao Prop Bets directory with markets offered by six new sports betting websites. Players can shop for the best value wagering the May 2 fight using the prop bets list. As of this publication, there is free money to be had by wagering Mayweather -189 ($189 to win $100) and Pacquiao at +200 ($100 to win $200).
A Rivalo Sportsbook (SBR rating D-) player has filed a complaint with SBR against the sports betting website. The player registered his account February 8, depositing €300 via Skrill. He proceeded to successfully order a payout for €1,200 which he received, before depositing five additional times. Unfortunately, the chain of events which occurred next led to his €1,063.64 balance being confiscated.
An SBG Global (SBR rating D-) player has submitted negative feedback stemming from a UFC wager he made. The player claimed that he wagered a UFC fight to go under 2.5 rounds, and that the fight was stopped with 1:33 elapsed in round three. His bet was initially graded as a win, but he later had the settlement reversed and his wager was marked as a loss.
Tobet Sportsbook tells SBR payouts through alternate methods have been arranged for players with delayed withdrawal requests. Topbet stated that a single third party processor was responsible for all of the 91 total payout delays, and that the reason for the delay was due to the sportsbook being led to believe the funds were sent. The betting site provided a statement to be shared on the situation.
Closing arguments are set to be heard in the federal case against Legends Sports founder Bartice "Luke" King. Jury selection began two weeks ago today. The jury was given 103 pages of instructions by Judge Stephen P. Friot, which focus on each of the counts against Mr. King, the laws of each state named during trial, and how to interpret federal statutes such as the Wire Wager Act, among other laws. Sportsbook Review will update the newswire feed once a verdict is reached in the case.
A Sportsbook Review reader has submitted a bonus complaint against sports betting website ComeOn (SBR rating C-). The player opened a second account with ComeOn, depositing €100 and increasing his balance up to €1,330. He stated that he forgot he previously opened a ComeOn account in the past, which was used to redeem an offer.
The average payoff for a wager on Manny Pacquiao to defeat Floyd Mayweather is +185, but three online sports betting websites are offering an extra 10 cents payoff for bets on Pacquiao. This means a $100 bet pays an extra $10 as betting at these sportsbooks yields $195 for every $100 risked on Pacquiao. The competition is likely to continue as sportsbooks enhance their wagering cart with new prop bets ahead of the May 2 showdown. One sportsbook manager told SBR that this weekend figures to be a top 3 betting weekend of all time, with the Kentucky Derby, NBA/NHL Playoffs, Red Sox vs. Yankees, all leading up to the Pacquiao vs. Mayweather PPV broadcast.
Sportsbook Review will update readers as new prop bets are released; Jamie Foxx has been scheduled to sing the US National Anthem, a prop market likely on the way is the amount of minutes and seconds Foxx will take to deliver the anthem - a bet commonly offered during the Super Bowl. The challenge for players will be to ensure that they are not overcharged by bookmaker vigorish when better offers are available, especially considering the outrageous $99 cost to view the fight, which may ultimately be necessary as free streams may not satisfactorily complement in-play wagering. Sportsbook Review interviewed a betting site on their intent to offer live wagering throughout Mayweather vs. Pacquiao.
In addition to comparing the prop wagering lines, players should weigh the sportsbook bonuses offered by betting sites in conjunction with straight up betting value, as some betting sites are offering large cash bonuses ahead of the May 2 weekend.
BetPhoenix Sportsbook (SBR rating C) is looking into the payout complaint reported by Sportsbook Review last month. A player claimed that a $2,000 cheque payout was lost in the mail, and that he asked if the online sports betting website they could verify that the funds were not received. He states that he was told that this would not be possible.
An LSbet Sportsbook (SBR rating C-) has claimed that he is presently owed over €20,000. He registered for the Sportsbook Review posting forum on April 23, and shortly after blogged his frustrations with the online sports betting website. He has posted that he deposited multiple times - amounts ranging from €300-€2,000 - and that after his recent withdrawal requests he found himself in hot water.
BetMayor Sportsbook (SBR rating F) released an email notice last night to all account holders announcing that the online sportsbook has been acquired by Panamanian corporation Media-Tech Inc, which is allegedly part of a venture capital fund with focus on technology related investments. Player balances will reportedly be honored.
Sportsbook Review.com has a comprehensive guide for sports bettors interested in the onslaught of Mayweather vs. Pacquiao Prop Bets. One of the most popular prop wagering markets from online betting sites is the expected number of total PPV purchases for Mayweather vs. Pacquiao, with sportsbooks setting the line at minimum 3.15 million total buys.
Sportsbook Review congratulates Cabo for winning the SBR World Series of Poker Main Event Satellite series championship. Cabo wins a $10,000 2015 WSOP Main Event entry this fourth of July weekend in Las Vegas. Cabo started the final table as a slightly less than average chipstack but patiently persevered before mowing down the competition.
While both ratings are on the sportsbook blacklist, there are some key differences to consider when evaluating online sportsbooks by rating. SBR advises players to stick with well-rated sports betting sites to avoid hassle, but understands that players who believe in living dangerously attempt to weight the risk vs. the reward of depositing with a less than stellar betting site. What is the difference?
A Sportsbook Review reader has submitted a question concerning the grading of an MLB wager placed on last night's Kansas City Royals vs. Chicago White Sox game. The game was called off in the 8th inning due to rain, but the reader noted that one sports betting website graded his wager as no-action (returning his bet) and another settled his bet as a loss. Find out which sportsbook was correct.
BetMayor Sportsbook has refused to revisit their stance in the $51,000 casino winnings confiscation dispute reported earlier this week by Sportsbook Review. A manager has told SBR that it is the BetMayor position that players who are determined to be professionals will not be paid, and that this ruling is in line with their terms and conditions.
Sportsbook Review takes a look at the line movement for tonight's NBA Playoffs Games, and includes a nugget shared by the General Manager of an online sports betting website who commented on how players are betting tonight's Los Angeles Clippers vs. San Antonio Spurs basketball game, scheduled for tip-off 9:30PM ET.
UPDATE 7:20PM ET: The technical hiccup has now been resolved, Bookmaker management cited a technical problem for the interruption of service. Sportsbook Review readers have reported difficulty accessing Bookmaker (SBR rating A+) and sister sportsbooks. SBR has confirmed slow loading of the website and is attempting to contact a member of management for comment on the tech issue. SBR will update as access is restored.
News broke last night of a $51,000 confisaction at BetMayor Sportsbook. A player went on a hot streak for two months in the BetMayor casino, and was categorized as having used optimal strategy for 87% of almost 4,000 hands. BetMayor claimed that the player was in violation of their terms and conditions because his play was considered professional. SBR members are sounding off at the unpopular decision, which amounts to theft:
SBR member harvesters: "I'm so confused by this - so because he won everyday it wasn't recreational? Is it because he won or because he played every day? Would they take issue with someone who plays every day and loses every day?," the post read.
SBR member tomallen123: "They rated the player in "Category 3" (87%), meaning his strategy was 87% Optimal? How do they figure that gives him over 85% chance of winning? Astounded by this. It's not a difficult game and I'm sure most people who play it regularly would score pretty high on that."
SBR member Courtesywipe may have landed the biggest blow: "You all are looking too deep into this. There is no cheating at BJ online. The dude won money and the SCAM site won't pay the money. period. That's the price this dude should pay for depositing 5k at a online sportsbook that has no rating and only been open for business since 7/2014. "
Sportsbook Review followed up again with BetMayor seeking to revisit the complaint last night, but was again told that the betting site has no interest in paying the player and firmly believes they acted fairly. The betting site is likely to debut on the SBR Blacklist.

RBI releases Report of the Committee on Data and Information Management in the Reserve Bank of India
(ENP Newswire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) ENP Newswire - 02 July 2014 Release date- 01072014 - The Reserve Bank of India today placed on its website the Report of the Committee on Data and Information Management in the Reserve Bank of India.
Comments/feedback on the recommendations of the report may be sent by July 15, 2014 by email or by post to the Officer-in-Charge, Department of Statistics and Information Management, Reserve Bank of India, 4th floor, C-8 Building, Bandra-Kurla Complex, Bandra (E), Mumbai - 400 051.
Background The present system of data and information management in the Reserve Bank evolved over several years in response to the emerging needs of the Reserve Bank and to disseminate information as a 'public good'. With increasing integration with the global economy and the growing complexity of the economic structure, the information needs have increased considerably and data gaps are experienced in various domains of central banking. At the same time, information management and dissemination have become technologically more advanced and challenging. In response, the Reserve Bank of India had constituted a Committee under the Chairmanship of Shri Deepak Mohanty, Executive Director, Reserve Bank of India comprising members from banks, academia and the Reserve Bank of India to review the current system of data collection, dissemination and management processes and to examine the feasibility of moving towards granular, multi-purpose data collection and more integrated and structured data production processes.
Major Recommendations To address major data gaps in monetary policy-making, the Committee recommends the compilation of various indictors, such as producer price index, services sector output and price index, labour force survey, urban wages, retail sales, construction activity survey, and surveys of household indebtedness through co-ordination with the relevant government agencies. The scope and coverage of the financial soundness indicators may be expanded to non-bank segments of the financial sector and the frequency of compiling sectoral flow of funds may be made quarterly starting with the financial sector.
The envelope of data elements across various returns in different information domains should be rationalised and the data should be moved to an enterprise-wide data warehouse (EDW) with appropriate access rights for users.
For primary data, the Committee recommends that it would be optimal to dissolve the returns into data elements, which can be organised with relevant attributes and dimensions in the form of logically coherent datasets. This would also serve the current purpose of returns.
The Committee suggests standardising various attributes and dimensions of data and recommends the use of eXtensible Business Reporting Language (XBRL) as the principal vehicle for data submission.
Using the secure network connections between the RBI server and the banks' Automated Data Flow (ADF) servers, the contents of the dataset may be pulled or pushed and loaded onto the RBI's server in an automated manner. Necessary provisions may have to be made to the banks' systems, for this purpose.
A dissemination policy for the Bank may be formulated and used as a guiding principle for disseminating or sharing information with various classes of users, within and outside the Bank.
To enhance the data governance framework, the Bank should identify and assign the role of Chief Information Officer (CIO) to a senior official. The entire data requirements of the Reserve Bank should be managed centrally for coherence, consistency and accountability with necessary organisational changes to provide sufficient expertise and resources with the CIO's office.

I'm not sure how to get them to both start
on boot
(you'd probably have to edit your boot scripts, which is, in general, not done lightly unless either they're simple, or you wrote them yourself in the first place), but you can get them to both start up on different virtual consoles with, for example:
export XF86CONFIG=XF86Config.mon
startx -- :0 vt07 &
export XF86CONFIG=XF86Config.tv
startx -- :1 vt08 &
You would replace vt07 and vt08 with two actual virtual consoles that are not in use. On my system, they would be 10 and 12, but that's because I have 8 login consoles (1-8), one running top (9), one normally running X (10), and one running a DC client (11). Most distros only set things up to run 6 consoles and X on the seventh, which means you can use 07 and 08.
Then, Ctrl-Alt-F7 goes to the monitor one, and Ctrl-Alt-F8 goes to the TV one.
This will only work if the card can handle it, though...
Oh yeah, make sure both versions of the config file are in /etc/X11, as well. You can even put all of this in a script, and just run that script in place of startx, if you wanted...

Last week the Logan County Sheriff's Department was alerted about scam artists who were trying to take advantage of senior citizens in Logan County.
According to a report, the perpetrators were conducting a telephone scam in the Logan County area involving sweepstakes winnings.
The Sheriff's Department learned that unknown individuals were calling elderly citizens and telling them that they had won a sweepstakes which required them to send money to an address in Texas in order to claim their prize winnings.
One of the individuals represented himself as an attorney in order to make the scam seem more official.
The Sheriff's Department is advising anyone who receives a similar phone call to get as much information as possible and report it.
Some tips from the FBI for avoiding telephone scams include:
- Always check out unfamiliar companies with your local consumer protection agency, Better Business Bureau, state attorney general, the National Fraud Information Center, or other watchdog groups. Unfortunately, not all bad businesses can be identified through these organizations.
- Obtain a salesperson's name, business identity, telephone number, street address, mailing address, and business license number before you transact business. Some con artists give out false names, telephone numbers, addresses, and business license numbers. Verify the accuracy of these items.
- Before you give money to a charity or make an investment, find out what percentage of the money is paid in commissions and what percentage actually goes to the charity or investment.
- Before you send money, ask yourself a simple question. "What guarantee do I really have that this solicitor will use my money in the manner we agreed upon?"
- Don't pay in advance for services. Pay services only after they are delivered.
- Be wary of companies that want to send a messenger to your home to pick up money, claiming it is part of their service to you. In reality, they are taking your money without leaving any trace of who they are or where they can be reached.
- Always take your time making a decision. Legitimate companies won't pressure you to make a snap decision.
- Don't pay for a "free prize." If a caller tells you the payment is for taxes, he or she is violating federal law.
- Before you receive your next sales pitch, decide what your limits are—the kinds of financial information you will and won't give out on the telephone.
- Be sure to talk over big investments offered by telephone salespeople with a trusted friend, family member, or financial advisor. It's never rude to wait and think about an offer.
- Never respond to an offer you don't understand thoroughly.
- Never send money or give out personal information such as credit card numbers and expiration dates, bank account numbers, dates of birth, or social security numbers to unfamiliar companies or unknown persons.
- Be aware that your personal information is often brokered to telemarketers through third parties.
- If you have been victimized once, be wary of persons who call offering to help you recover your losses for a fee paid in advance.
- If you have information about a fraud, report it to state, local, or federal law enforcement agencies.

MWCI to build PH's most extensive sewer system in Taguig
popular .
Manila Water Co. Inc., a unit of the Ayala group, is set to build the country's most extensive sewer network system, which will benefit roughly 500,000 residents in its concession area.
In a statement, Manila Water said that the P1.9-billion Taguig Sewer Network 3 Project will involve the construction of a 12-kilometer sewage line.
Once completed, the project is expected to treat up to 75 million liters of wastewater a day, serving the requirements of close to half a million residents in the cities of Taguig, Makati and nearby areas.
The project has already received the nod of the National Capital Region–Regional Development Council (NCR-RDC).
According to Abelardo Basilio, Manila Water strategic asset management group director, the Taguig Sewer Network is considered a breakthrough in the company's commitment to expand wastewater service coverage in its East Zone concession area.
"This is also the first time that Manila Water will use a new technology for sewer network—a trenchless methodology in pipelaying to reduce the traffic impact and inconvenience to commuters," Basilio said.
"Manila Water believes that the project will largely contribute to the improvement of the quality of water bodies in the metropolis as this will help protect the environment by building more wastewater infrastructure to prevent contamination and pollution of the three rivers in its concession area, namely San Juan, Marikina and Pasig River," he added.
Aside from the sewer project, the water utility of the Ayala group has also lined up the construction of other wastewater treatment facilities to increase the company's total wastewater treatment capacity to more than 500 million liters a day from the current 135 million liters a day.

Topping the charts, launching a global phenomenon, topping the charts, breaking records, and today the New York Daily News informs us that K-pop's unassuming star Psy is working miracles now, too. Because, babies they just love him! As The New York Daily News has found, babies go "gaga for Gangnam,'" and so parents the world wide have turned to the satirical video to calm their cranky kids. As evidence, they present two such babes: the adorable Benjamin of London, who seems to figure lunch is best served with a little giddy-up; and little Claire of West Virginia, above, who knows that tears are a major "Gangnam Style" faux-pas. It's hard to say what exactly these kids like — the bounce, the bright lights, the sharp satire of Korea's nouveau riche — because the parents in the story seems most interested in the fact that it works, and every time. And who could blame them?
Because there's nothing better than getting your groove on and your kid quiet at the same time, we've found five other artists that seem to possess the same magic that calms a cranky baby. Like all the parenting manuals say: YouTube, a real modern parents' helper!
Beyoncé: Maybe it's the mother in her, but Bey's is big with the babes. Baby Pete, below, likes "Single Ladies," but Baby Noah is more of a "Love on Top" kind of kid and "Countdown" seems to do the trick for this guy. Baby Blue Carter, which is your favorite?
Justin Bieber: "Baby" to baby, Baby Colby, below, is already showing signs of the fever. Just be careful, because he's got tends to have the opposite effect on them once the hormones kick in.
Notorious B.I.G.: Biggie has got this cutie all sorts of "Hypnotized."
Adele: Because there's nothing Adele can't do, "Rolling In The Deep" clears this little guy's tears. Meanwhile, Baby Anna's diet plan dictates that you not eat until Adele is on the radio. She's lucky that's often.
Gotye's elegiac hit "Somebody I Used To Know" is the only thing that that can calm this poor little guy's nerves. But babies can get down to Gotye in all sorts of cute ways: This adorable pre-verbal girl refuses to let the fact that she doesn't know how to speak stop her from singing along, Beckett's bathtub art was more than certainly inspired by the song's colorful video, and little Grace? Baby, oh baby, can she move!
Psy's 'Gangnam Style' helps calm cranky babies, based on YouTube evidence [NDYN]

Hiroshige: One Hundred Famous Views of EDO (Hardcover)
Melanie Treade
Lorenz Bichler
Special Order
Views of 19th century Tokyo: Images of a city between visual poetry and idealized reality "This luxurious Japanese bound boxed publication transcends the coffee table cliche by combining beauty with information." ART news Magazine, New York Literally meaning "pictures of the floating world," ukiyo-e refers to the famous Japanese woodblock print genre that originated in the 17th century and is practically synonymous with the Western world's visual characterization of Japan. Because they could be mass produced, ukiyo-e works were often used as designs for fans, New Year's greeting cards, single prints, and book illustrations, and traditionally they depicted city life, entertainment, beautiful women, kabuki actors, and landscapes. The influence of ukiyo-e in Europe and the USA, often referred to as Japonisme, can be seen in everything from impressionist painting to today's manga and anime illustration. This reprint is made from one of the finest complete original sets of woodblock prints belonging to the Ota Memorial Museum of Art in Tokyo. Hiroshige (1797-1858) was one of the last great artists in the ukiyo-e tradition. Though he captured a variety of subjects, his greatest talent was in creating landscapes of his native Edo (modern-day Tokyo) and his final masterpiece was a series known as "One Hundred Famous Views of Edo" (1856-1858). This resplendent complete reprint pairs each of the 120 large-scale illustrations with a description, allowing readers to plunge themselves into Hiroshige's beautifully vibrant landscapes.

'Undhile Manchi Kalam Mundhu Mundhuna', like the title, is a 'positive film'
Arun Kanth, more known as Arun Dasyam, an architect is in the process of wrapping up his debut film as a director Undhile Manchi Kalam Mundhu Mundhuna. The title is positive, reflects hope and optimism; it is a line from a famous Telugu movie song.
Arun's aim was to be a sound engineer but he moved to direction, after working as an assistant director for Sogaadu and Gaayam 2 he briskly formed a team and came up with Aam Aadmi Pictures as his banner. So did he want to capitalise on the Aam Aadmi party name? Arun denies the banner having anything to do with politics, "I'm not a political person at all. We all are from middle class background and felt the banner name was apt that reflects our aspirations. The movie is a blend of music and sports."
Undhile Manchi Kalam Mundhu Mundhuna is a story of street drummer and a hockey player, played by young actor Sudhakar and a newcomer Karthik. Avantika Mohan and Neetu Chowdary from Punjab are first timers too. Radhika Sarat Kumar returns to Telugu cinema after more than a decade. We have Poornima and Naresh too in the cast. "I am here to entertain people didn't want to give a strong message but yes, I put forth a point subtly. When I wanted to make a film on Indian hockey I did a google search but couldn't find any info on the game, except the mention of Dhyanchand. I designed my character finally based on a hockey player Arjun Halappa. Radhika was on my mind ever since the script took shape, initially when we contacted her through a friend, she insisted on a detailed narration. I went to Chennai and narrated it and she agreed."
Arun chose Visakhapatnam as the place of shoot, as people in certain areas of Vizag play hockey regularly. All the hockey players are from lower middle class families who cannot afford to play the game. They are unable to rise over a level and are not able to meet with success despite reaching the national level. "I chose the game out of respect for the National sport," he informs. The film releases next month.
Keywords: In focus column, Undhile Manchi Kalam Mundhu Mundhuna, Arun Kanth, Arun Dasyam, hockey, 2014 Telugu movies

""CEOs go to their vacation homes just after companies report favorable news, and CEOs return to headquarters right before subsequent news is released. More good news is released when CEOs are back at work, and CEOs appear not to leave headquarters at all if a firm has adverse news to disclose. When CEOs are away from the office, stock prices behave quietly with sharply lower volatility. Volatility increases immediately when CEOs return to work." —David Yermack, a New York University finance professor, whose recently released study shows a correlation between when CEOs take their private jets on vacation and movements in their companies' stock price "
