Massage Therapy Insurer Pleads Guilty to Fraud
By Kathryn Feather, Senior Associate Editor
Bret T. Van Leeuwen, 52, the former president and founder of Stratus Insurance Services, Inc., pled guilty in June to one count of insurance fraud in the second degree. He agreed to pay up to $995,000 in civil penalties.
Three associations listed as victims in Van Leeuwen's plea include the now defunct IMA Group, the Hands-On Trade Association and the International Association of Reike Professionals. Massage Today readers might remember that Van Leeuwen and Stratus Insurance were linked in the financial demise of the International Massage Association and had accused owner and founder Will Green of owing Stratus "close to seven figures" and offered that as the reason Stratus dropped coverage of the IMA. However, Green claimed that Stratus had failed to properly acquire policies in several of the years since 2004, and alluded to an FBI investigation in a letter to IMA members in July of 2010. As reported in Massage Today in August of 2010, Van Leeuwen strongly denied Green's claims.
The Hands-On Trade Association (HOTA) became aware there was a problem with Stratus and Van Leeuwen in May 2010, when the case became public. Directed by Judi Calvert, co-founder of Massage Magazine, the HOTA formally terminated their relationship with Stratus and Bret Van Leeuwen in January 2011. According to Calvert, "it took time to transition to our new risk purchasing group, the Wellness and Beauty Association Risk Purchasing Group."
"Numerous issues with the company led us to start seeking a new risk purchasing group in May of 2010," said Calvert. "We are still in the process of determining the consequences. As owner of HOTA, I have given years of service to this wonderful industry, and it's important that our members know they can continue to trust us as their benefits provider. Our focus remains on serving our membership and the industry." As part of this new Wellness and Beauty Association Risk Purchasing Group, the HOTA is now with Western States Insurance.
Investigation Background And Timeline
In his Statement of Offense filed with the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia on June 20, 2011, Van Leeuwen acknowledged he was the founder, president and majority owner of Stratus Insurance Services, which focused on specialty insurance programs provided to associations and purchasing groups. The three associations offered their members insurance coverage through a non-profit entity known as the Health and Beauty Risk Purchasing Group (HBRPG), which Will Green of the IMA was also involved in starting.
Van Leeuwen's partner in providing these policies was Rodney R. Ayer, former president of Phoenix Underwriting Managers Inc. According to prosecutors, Ayer pleaded guilty in July 2010 to one count of insurance fraud in connection with fraudulent statements in a 2006 application to operate as a captive insurance company in Washington, D.C. Ayer agreed to pay $500,000 in penalties and set aside an additional $495,000 in an escrow account to cover any outstanding claims for the policy periods covered by the criminal charges, which cover September 2004 through May 2006.
Mark Maxson, Senior Vice President at Willis Re, and an insurance industry expert, said the escrow fund might not be sufficient if major claims are filed for that time frame, "in this case, $500,000 to cover all claims for a portfolio of exposure--particularly when the portfolio consists of 15,000 policies. Even one policy limits claim would wipe out the fund and leave all the other insureds unportected."
"We became aware of the Ayer case in July 2010 through Massage Today," said Calvert. "Prior to that, we didn't know that we were named in the Ayer case."
Van Leeuwen admitted that he and Ayer intended to insure the members of the HBRPG which included the IMA and the HOTA, as well as the approximately 27,000 members of the Federal Employee Professional Liability Insurance Program, with insurance carriers known as "cells" which would be established through multi-national insurance carrier, Hannover Rueckverisherung AG (Hannover Re). Van Leeuwen and Ayer planned to co-own the cells, which would be associated with Hannover Re, and supervise the administration of the HBRPG, as well as the Federal group. Based on their knowledge of the claims histories for both groups, Ayer and Van Leeuwen expected substantial underwriting profits from owning and operating these programs. However, both men did not reveal their ownership of the cells to the associations participating in the HBRPG.
Van Leeuwen and Ayer did pay the claims associated with these programs and they did retain the underwriting profits associated with these groups. However, there was just one problem with this arrangement; Hannover Re backed out of its coverage of the programs in December 2005. Despite Ayer and Van Leeuwen being unable to obtain approval from Hannover Re to operate the cells, the men led the associations and insurance regulatory agencies to believe that Hannover Re had approved the cells to insure the Federal program and the HBRPG.
According to court records, while continuing to pay claims and receiving substantial premium payments from members of both groups based on representations that Hannover Re was insuring those programs, Van Leeuwen and Ayer filed an application with the District of Columbia's Department of Insurance, Securities and Banking in April 2006, seeking approval for a District of Columbia Certificate of Authority allowing Defense Shield Insurance Co. Inc. (DISC) to operate as a captive. The DISC was intended to succeed the cell Ayer and Van Leeuwen led the associations to believe was being handled by Hannover Re.
Current Status
Chris Van Leeuwen, brother of Bret Van Leeuwen and current President of Stratus, said the company does continue to provide massage therapy insurance. He said the guilty plea does not impact any of the coverage it currently provides to massage therapists and there was no lapse in coverage for those programs under the Beauty, Health and Trade Alliance Purchasing Group. Stratus Insurance covers approximately ten different groups through the Beauty, Health and Trade Alliance Purchasing Group.
Rodney Ayer has not yet been sentenced. Bret Van Leeuwen is scheduled to be formally sentenced on September 26, 2011. He faces a maximum sentence of 24 months in prison, a fine of $10,000, a three-year term of supervised release and a $250 special assessment for the Crime Victim's Assistance Fund, in addition to his civil penalties of almost $1 million.
In the meantime, the organizations involved are left to pick up the pieces and try to move on. "We're focusing on the future," said Calvert. "We feel that our decision to go with another risk purchasing group best serves our members needs."
It remains unclear what the status of coverage is for those insured through any of these groups in the years 2006-2010.
However, it looks as though this case isn't over just yet. Bill Miller from the U.S. Attorney's Office would only say that "we typically do not comment on cases that are still active. Because the case is pending and remains under investigation, the U.S. Attorney's Office is unable to comment at this time beyond relying on the public record of what is said or submitted in court."
Massage Today will continue to monitor this case as the U.S. Attorney's Office investigation continues.
Editor's Note: As this issue of Massage Today was going to press, MPA Media received a letter from attorneys representing a massage therapy insurer that has had a relationship with Stratus Insurance, but which was not mentioned or included in the 2004-06 insurance fraud case. On August 2, 2011, Eric Hearn, a lawyer representing The Doyle Group, owners of Massage Magazine and Massage Magazine Insurance Plus (MMIP), stated that "Doyle has terminated its contractual relationship with Stratus." The letter warned of legal action should this story "implicate Doyle in the affairs that culminated in Bret Van Leeuwen's current legal issues." At the time the letter was sent, Massage Today had made no contact with The Doyle Group. Massage Today then contacted The Doyle Group to ask when and why the relationship with Stratus Insurance Services was officially terminated but received no response.
A publicly available May 16, 2010 record (approximately two months before Ayer's guilty plea) of the MMIP website contains this language: "MMIP is offered in conjunction with Stratus Insurance Services, Inc. American Fork, Utah. Coverage under the MMIP program is underwritten by certain underwriters at Lloyds, London, an A rated carrier." A screenshot of the same website taken on July 25, 2011, has language stating that "MMIP is offered in conjunction with the Beauty, Health, and Trade Alliance Purchasing Group, domiciled in IL and Stratus Insurance Services". Upon receipt of Hearn's August 2 letter, a review of the MMIP webpage showed that the reference to Stratus was removed, consistent with the attorney's letter stating that contractual relations with Stratus had been terminated. The Lloyds of London reference remained.

Wikipad's delayed 7-inch gaming tablet to finally arrive 11 June
The Wikipad tablet was originally touted for a springtime 2013 release, but that timeframe came and went with no further word. Now Wikipad confirmed that its much-delayed gaming tablet will finally arrive on 11 June.
Wikipad announced on Tuesday that its 7-inch tablet will release next week with a retail price of $249 (£163) in the US and a UK global launch planned for this summer. The tablet essentially combines the features of an Android tablet with a console video game experience, thanks to a dual-analog gamepad controller.
The Wikipad also sports a d-pad, as well as the four x, y, a and b buttons, with the controls laid out similar to the Wii U. The pad itself can slot in and out of the controller when users want to game with it.
Inside the Android 4.1 Jelly Bean-powered tablet is an Nvidia Tegra 3 chip, which keeps games looking good on the 1,280 x 800-resolution IPS display, and a 2-megapixel front-facing camera for more conventional tablet actions like video calling.
Read: Wikipad gaming tablet gets price and arrival date
There's also 16GB of internal memory that ensures users can download plenty of apps, as well as a microSD card for more data, and access to more than 700,000 apps from the Google Play store, Sony's PlayStation Mobile games and Nvidia's TegraZone for Tegra-optimised games.
Big Fish Instant Games is also a launch partner for the Wikipad gaming tablet because of its new cloud-based, interactive streaming content of more than 250 casual Big Fish games.

Bermuda has been granted conditional qualified jurisdiction status by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) effective 1 January 2014.
The other three jurisdictions approved by the NAIC are Germany, Switzerland and the UK.
The NAIC developed the "Process for Developing and Maintaining the NAIC List of Qualified Jurisdictions" (NAIC Process) to evaluate the regulatory frameworks of non-US jurisdictions for reinsurance collateral reduction purposes.
Approval under the NAIC Process means that reinsurers licensed and domiciled in Bermuda will be eligible to be certified for reduced reinsurance collateral requirements under the NAIC's Credit for Reinsurance Model Law.
Jeremy Cox, chief executive of the Bermuda Monetary Authority, says: "We are very pleased with the outcome of this initial step in the NAIC's Process. Having this status is highly relevant to the Bermuda market, in terms of potentially facilitating efficiencies in the cross-border operations of Bermuda reinsurance with the US insurance market. We look forward to working with the NAIC to complete the process in the coming months."
In September, the Authority was the first insurance supervisor to agree to participate in an expedited review under the NAIC Process. The full review of the four approved jurisdictions will take place during 2014.

- alternative splicing;
- apoptosis;
Alternative splicing (AS) is tightly coupled to transcription for the majority of human genes. However, how these two processes are linked is not well understood. Here, we unveil a direct role for the transcription factor FBI-1 in the regulation of AS. FBI-1 interacts with the splicing factor SAM68 and reduces its binding to BCL-X mRNA. This, in turn, results in the selection of the proximal 5′ splice site in BCL-X exon 2, thereby favoring the anti-apoptotic BCL-XL variant and counteracting SAM68-mediated apoptosis. Conversely, depletion of FBI-1, or expression of a SAM68 mutant lacking the FBI-1 binding region, restores the ability of SAM68 to induce BCL-XS splicing and apoptosis. FBI-1's role in splicing requires the activity of histone deacetylases, whose pharmacological inhibition recapitulates the effects of FBI-1 knockdown. Our study reveals an unexpected function for FBI-1 in splicing modulation with a direct impact on cell survival.
The oncogenic transcription factor FBI-1 regulates alternative splicing by preventing the splicing regulator SAM68 from binding to BCL-X mRNA. This increases anti-apoptotic BCL-X isoform expression and cell survival.
- The transcription factor FBI-1 directly interacts with the splicing regulator SAM68.
- FBI-1 impairs binding of SAM68 to BCL-X mRNA and thus promotes production of the anti-apoptotic BCL-X isoform and cell survival.
- FBI-1's effect on BCL-X splicing requires histone deacetylase activity.

If you are into digital, you've got to love the social web. Social media provides a way to get new clients, interact and nurture relationships, and a place to reach your target audience. This all sounds good, but in reality, too much of a good thing isn't always the best.
Many people on the social web consider social media as their diary online. They post and say almost everything that goes on in their lives. Do you share all your secrets with everyone online? When you are bored, do you call up your clients and tell them that you are taking the afternoon off because you are lazy? Online, the rules are the same. Just because you feel like saying something on your favourite social media channel doesn't mean that you should.
If you want to make your personal reputation stand out, try to stay away from the negative side of social media.
1. The web is public
Most social media channels such as Facebook and Twitter are public and many people tend to forget that. They share thoughts that are better kept to themselves and get way too personal. To give you an example; are you going to announce that you want to do a Facebook update when you are sitting in the middle of a meeting? I know you are not going to do it — so when you avoid saying irrelevant stuff in real life, do the same online.
2. Posting meaningless tweets and updates
"I'm busy thinking of this", "This burger is really nice", "Going to watch some TV now". How many of us have tweeted meaningless babble at some point? Most of the time, these senseless updates will not catch the attention of your followers, and you might end up losing some followers in the process. Most of the time your sharing of meaningless tweets and updates will leave a bad impression on your personal reputation because it will make your followers say "I really don't care" in the back of their minds. Remember: "Actions speaks louder than words."
If this is you, you may want to rethink the way you are engaging online if you want to build your reputation online with social media. Rather think of something inspirational, interesting, and ways to get the relevant message across to the reader. The social web has been a vast source to get great ideas. Spend some time researching new ideas and reading articles that are related to your industry. If you do that for a while, you will soon have a nice collection of relevant updates worth sharing and tweeting about.
3. Posting negative updates
"Some clients just don't get it", "Users are losers", "I hate going over everything again and again". Sometimes, people checking what you are saying are smart enough to know exactly what you are talking about. You might even at some point become a hot topic for gossip. Twitter, Facebook, and all the other social media channels that are public are really not the best place to express personal and negative issues. In most cases, you will most likely be labelled as the "negative guy".
If you are interested in building your personal reputation with social media you must always keep in mind that the goal with the social web is to connect with friends, family members or to grow your business, and become known as the expert in your field.

Mother's Day MYOB
Saturday, May 7 9am - 11am
In order to ensure you don't have to wait long, we recommend you call us to sign up for a time slot in advance (206) 282-0776. You're welcome to participate without signing up in advance - we'll squeeze you in when we're able.
Join us for our second annual Make Your Own Chocolate Bar event in advance of Mother's Day. Last year's event was a smashing success, wth children of all ages (adults, too!) making chocolate bars for their moms. We'll pour milk or dark chocolae into a take-home mold, and you'll top the bar with toppings of your choice. We have colorful sweet toppings as well as more serious nuts and dried fruits. Bars are $10 each of 3 for $25.
Free Chocolate Happy Hours
Every Thursday, 5-9pm
Join us every Thursday from 5-9pm for free chocolate happy hours. We'll pick a theme each week and provide samples around that theme. This is a great opportunity to sample the many bars in our collection and figure out what you like. It's also a really fun evening!
Thursday, April 28
Chocolopolis Drinking Chocolate with infusions
We'll be sampling drinking chocolates from our menu infused with different essential oils. Some of our personal favorites include Valrhona Abinao 85% with Star Anise, Valrhona Manjari 64% with Orange and Signature 72% with Peppermint. Let us know if you have favorites after tasting our drinks infused with Anise, Lime, Peppermint.
Thursday, May 5
Treats for Mother's Day
Mother's Day is this Sunday. We'll have tastes of chocolate bars and even a few confections so you can choose chocolate gifts your mom will love.
Thursday, May 12
Bars Under $10
While the cost of craft chocolate bars may seem steep compared to mass market chocolate, craft chocolate is made in small batches using fine flavor cacao. Fine flavor cacao designates cacao that is genetically superior to bulk market/commodity cacao used by the mass market producers. It also denotes cacao that has been well fermented and dried, resulting in delicious flavor that's unique to the
of the surrounding geographic area. Craft chocolate is expensive because it's made in small batches and because it's made with very expensive fine flavor cacao. Despite the expense, we offer a number of bars under $10. Tonight we'll have samples of a variety of bars you'll be able to enjoy.
Thursday, May 19
Africa origin cacao
Africa is responsible for growing 70% of the world's cacao. Unfortunately, the majority of this cacao is bulk market/commodity cacao sold for its cheap price and not its prized flavor. Despite these challenges, we are able to offer a handful of bars made with cacao from Africa. Stop by for tastes of these earthy and "chocolaty" bars, many of them excellent staples for those wanting chocolate that isn't "fruity".
Thursday, May 26
François Pralus
François Pralus learned to make chocolate from the bean while apprenticing with famed chocolate maker Bernachon in Lyon, France. Pralus comes from a patisserie family of note, his father August Pralus having invented the Praluline (si tu parle Français,
vois Wikipedia
pour l'origine), a must-have when visiting Paris. Pralus decided to create a chocolate company and take a page from Bernachon's book by making his chocolate from the bean. Pralus prefers to treat all of his cacao origins the same, employing the same processing no matter the characteristics of the bean. This makes for some interesting flavor profiles. Tonight you can taste for yourself.
Thursday, June 2
We're getting ready for this year's Sweet Sixteen competition by tasting bars from last year's winner. Askinosie's San Jose del Tambo Ecuador 70% bar was the winner of this eight-week blind tasting contest. We'll have samples of a number of Askinosie bars, including the champion.
Thursday, June 9
Chocolate Sweet Sixteen Kickoff
Help us kickoff this year's Chocolate Sweet Sixteen! Every week at happy hour we'll have blind tastings of 4 bars from a field of 16 bars competing in the contest. Every customer who comes to happy hour gets one ballot to cast a vote for two of their favorite bars. Two winning bars each week move forward on the bracket until we crown a winner (after the Final Four, of course)!
Attend a Chocolate Tasting Class
Similar to a wine tasting, a chocolate tasting provides you with the opportunity to taste and compare chocolate made with cacao from different parts of the world while learning about artisan chocolate and cacao farming and production. Class participants taste 5 single-origin chocolate bars made by the finest small batch chocolate makers and compare them with a childhood favorite. After the tasting choose a cup of drinking chocolate from our menu and a Chocolopolis truffle. Our chocolate tasting classes provide an opportunity to discover the best chocolate the world has to offer!
Classes are $30 per person and last about 45 minutes. Class participants receive a 10% discount on all purchases during the class. Give us a call at 206-282-0776 to sign up for a class.

Frequent Bar Club
Our frequent bar club is for those of you who like to try a lot of chocolate! Here's how it works. For every different bar of chocolate you purchase, we'll mark your frequent bar card with the name of the bar. Once you've purchased 10 different bars, you receive a bar of equal or lesser value, free (the value is based on the most expensive bar listed on your card). Each bar must be a different one, so purchasing 10 of one bar counts as 1, but purchasing 2 different bars counts for 2 stamps. We hope this encourages you to try many different bars of chocolate and expand your palate.
Signing up for our club means that you agree to be on our newsletter mailing list and that we sign you up as a frequent customer. FBC members are invited to exclusive events a few times a year.. This is a great opportunity to explore the world of chocolate and meet fellow chocophiles.

Travel grows six times faster than other US exports in 2013
WASHINGTON, D.C. - David Huether, senior vice president of research and economics at the U.S. Travel Association, provides analysis on Wednesday's Commerce Department announcement that the trade deficit deteriorated by $4.6 billion in July 2013 to $39.1 billion.
"After growing five of the first six months of the year, travel exports edged down slightly in July, falling $96 million to a level of $14.8 billion. This slight decline was in line with overall U.S. exports of goods and services, which also edged down 0.6 percent in July.
"Travel continues to be a leading export for the U.S. economy. Through the first seven months of 2013, travel exports increased 8.9 percent compared to the same timeframe in 2012, six times faster than the 1.5 percent rise in other U.S. exports of goods and services so far this year. As a result of growing much faster than other exports, the travel industry has generated 32 percent of the overall increase in U.S. exports in 2013. And with travel exports growing faster than the 2.9 percent increase in travel imports, the travel trade surplus so far this year is running 25 percent higher than last year.
"Travel exports are outpacing agriculture and manufacturing exports as well as other service exports to the world. This powerful economic force of welcoming international travelers to our shores is one of the primary reasons why the travel industry has added jobs at a faster rate than the rest of the economy during the past three years and has already made up more than 90 percent of the jobs lost during the Great Recession. We urge policymakers to support critical proposals to boost travel, such as the JOLT Act, which would increase international spending in the United States and create more American jobs."

Loaded Sweet Potato Nachos
I don't know about you, but I used to find something so satisfying about that fake, nacho cheese you can get with chips at a baseball stadium or rollerskating rink. Obviously, this "cheese" sauce is probably one of the worst things you can eat. Is it even food? I don't really know, but somehow the mystery made it taste even better. Now that I've been awakened to what real food is, I no longer crave fake nacho cheese. I crave the nacho "cheese" sauce listed in … Read more

Tenets for tenants
Plaksin, owner of the red-brick Mentzer apartment building on the State and Main street intersection, said it's fine to strengthen the borough's leverage against disruptive renters and inattentive landlords.
"Hey, if I have a home or live in an apartment I like, I'd be ticked off by neighbors who treat my block like a dump," Plaksin said.
But, while Plaksin endorses change, he's still a bit confused on the proposed amendment. It's based on Lancaster City's ordinance, exits only in draft form, and is still a work in progress.
What's abundantly clear though is the borough's goal to define the obligations and responsibilities for renters and landlords.
And that's a good thing says Plaksin.
"The borough needs to explain in more detail just how landlords will be affected," he said. "The good thing is there's still time to iron out problem issues before it's adopted and council is doing a good job listening to feedback."
The community has provided plenty of feedback to borough officials, who met twice with the Ephrata Review recently to discuss the 16-page draft ordinance.
Most concerns center on the proposed ordinance's three-strike rule and the fines and penalties assessed for accumulating a trio of strikes (citations) that can lead to an automatic loss of a rental license and eviction.
But this still leaves plenty of gray area, as Plaksin noted.
"Am I going to get a strike on what my tenant does inside the apartment?" Plaksin asked. "Do I get a strike if I report my own tenant?"
The short answer to that is maybe, said Borough Manager Robert Thompson.
"This is where the part of the misunderstanding may be," Thompson said. "If the tenant's conduct is what's causing the problem, the owner doesn't get a strike – in essence they may – but the owner's ultimate obligation is to initiate eviction proceedings."
Strikes can accrue through citations issued by police for disturbance calls or from violations issued by code enforcement officers for anything from vermin infestation, exceeding occupancy limits, or failing to properly cut grass or remove trash and snow from the property.
Thompson said in most instances the strike process will begin with a "notice of violation that sets the clock ticking."
"A strike is not that we cited (a landlord)," Thompson said. "It's a strike if you fail to remedy the problem or it's a condemnation. Three strikes in a 12-month period and a landlord losses the rental license only on that particular unit."
The timeframe allotted to remedy specific citations can vary from five to 30 days depending on the severity, urgency, and safety elements.
"Each one of these things gives an opportunity to remedy the situation before it becomes a permanent record and the landlord or property manager can still appeal the citation in district court (to avoid a strike)," Thompson said.
The draft of the ordinance will continue to evolve as Susan Rowe, chairwoman of the development activities committee, has compiled a list of issues brought up at four previous public meetings in which it was discussed.
Thompson, Rowe and Dale Hertzog, council president, will meet this week in Lancaster to discuss the ordinance with the staff of Economic Development and Neighborhood Revitalization.
"Much of our ordinance contains sections that are already being used in Lancaster City and Berwick," Thompson said. "We're trying to make sure we don't make the same mistakes."

University Hosts Talk on Futuristic Technologies
Space colonization and nanotechnology will be two of the subjects covered during a lunchtime lecture hosted by Northwestern University in Qatar (NU-Q) on Monday, April 12.
Patrick McCray, Professor of History of Science and Technology from the University of California at Santa Barbara (UCSB), is the latest distinguished speaker in the University's spring lecture series. He will deliver his lecture to NU-Q students, faculty and staff, alongside members of the Doha public.
Entitled 'Visioneering: Histories of Radical Technological Optimism', the lecture will explore the different possibilities society has envisioned for the future of technology, including space colonization, nanotechnology, internet-based commerce, and even life extension. According to Dr. McCray, such technologies have not ceased to capture the public imagination and have stimulated dialogue between science, business, and politics.

TV presenter Dr Christian Jessen pledges support for National HIV Testing Week
Post your comment
Comments on this article are now closed.
Reader comments
He's the bloke who exploits vulnerable ill people for TV ratings……no thanks
The purpose of his TV programme is to encourage the general public to feel less inhibited about approaching their GP if they are concerned about a health issue causing fear or embarrassment, is it not? One of the programmes focused on testicular cancer and helping a team of footballers/rugby players to check their testicles for lumps or swellings (I'm sure he enjoyed that! It's a pity he's not around here to check mine). Surely that's a positive thing he's doing, rather than exploitative?
putting vulnerable maybe desperate people on TV is not the act of a compassionate person. Doing the all queers are after straight men scenario is not good either.
Those vulnerable ill people also applied to appear on Embarrassing Bodies. I seriously doubt that Dr C. shoved hessian sacks over those peoples heads and forces them to take part!…
I can tell you TV is full of physcopaths who would sell their soul for ratings. get vulnerable people who are terrified of their doctor. comfort them tell them its no big deal then broadcast their most intimate secrets to their neighbours.
Yes its really lovely and he is a man of integrity.
He's a sound bloke….wish he was my fella…
Has Christian come out yet?
He's clearly hung up about his appearance, as are the two female presenters.
Miserable programme.

LONDON, December 28, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --
Toshiba Sponsoring Times Square NYE Countdown, G-cluster to Unveil new Game Machine Platform for Cloud Gaming and new Gesture Recognition Technology Ready to be Showcased
The official countdown for this year's New Year's Eve Celebration in Times Square, New York will be exclusively sponsored by technology industry giants Toshiba, it has been announced. On 31 December 2012, more than one million revellers will fill the streets below One Times Square, where they and more than one billion viewers worldwide will watch the live 60-second countdown on the giant TOSHIBA VISION LED screen above them.
In the run-up to the big moment at 23:59, the TOSHIBA VISION screen will display the Toshiba Hourly Countdown as well as special animations, live performances by music act as well as a number of other events.
In addition to enjoying the event live in person or on television, smartphone users can join in by downloading the Times Square Ball App, which will not only stream the countdown live but will allow users to upload photos. A selection of the photos will be shown on the TOSHIBA VISION screen during the celebrations.
The forthcoming International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2013 will see the future of home cloud gaming, exhibited by industry leaders G-cluster Global.
G-cluster, the world's first and largest cloud gaming platform, will debut its new Game Machine platform allowing players to access both premium and casual games on their HD televisions, without the need for a specific game console.
G-cluster's device will plug straight into the HDMI port of televisions and utilising a home Wi-Fi network, give players the ability to play games using smartphones, tablets or special wireless control pads either on their own or with friends and family.
Elsewhere at the 2013 CES, a collaboration between Texas Instruments Incorporated (TI) and SoftKinetic will see a new development in gesture recognition technology exhibited to visitors to the annual show in Las Vegas.
SoftKinetic, who are a leading provider of end-to-end 3D sensor and gesture recognition middleware solutions, are providing their own DepthSense pixel technology and iisu middleware for TI's new 3D time-of-flight (ToF) image sensor chipset.
The chipset, which sits inside a 3D camera, allows a user to control laptops and a smart TV to browse and select multimedia content including movies and games with a simple gesture such as the wave of a hand.
It is the hope of both companies that together they will be able to introduce motion control and gesture recognition technology into the mass market, and change the way consumers access and navigate media content at home.
