"Triangular" arbitrage refers to a class of neutral-market strategies, in which the profit or loss of open positions does not depend on the direction of the market movement as a whole. In order to take profit, the EA exploits a weak spot of market makers - it utilizes the difficulty of balancing cross rates of all currency pairs. The advantages of the strategy are the following: n

The care of adolescents with complex chronic illness needs to be developmentally appropriate to encourage adherence, knowledge retention and self-management. There has been an increase in the number of adolescents requiring long-term or lifelong anticoagulation therapy, related to either an underlying illness or idiopathic deep vein thrombosis. The burden of anticoagulant therapy, the associated risks and the required lifestyle changes can significantly impact on psychosocial well-being in the adolescent patient. This review identifies issues pertinent to adolescent anticoagulation management and discusses strategies to support optimal management. The HEEADSSS (Home, Education and employment, Eating, Activities with peers, Drugs, Sexual activity, Suicide and depression, and Safety) framework was used to provide guidance in undertaking a psychosocial assessment of adolescents requiring anticoagulant therapy in conjunction with a structured education strategy. Adolescent anticoagulant management strategies employing developmentally appropriate assessment and education will likely result in improved therapeutic outcomes for the patient and potentially facilitate transition to adult-based care.
Competing interests None.

The Bachelor of Science degree in sport studies is designed for students interested in careers in wellness and leisure industries, sports management, sports communication, sport sociology, allied health fields, sports psychology, rehabilitation, fitness and coaching.
This non-teaching major also positions graduates for admission to a range of graduate programs supporting practice and research in human performance and the allied health professions.
Study in human movement and exercise will provide sport studies majors with a comprehensive understanding of the physiological and psychosocial foundations of movement in exercise and sport.
The framework of the sport studies program offers students a unique movement-based experience. Students choose from among five cognate tracks:
My philosophy is based on the work I have done with persons with disabilities and my Franciscan background. The student is a person and an individual first. I teach to success. I believe every student is capable of learning and accomplishing their educational goal.
My role as an educator is to facilitate that learning with an exchange of information and ideas from the teacher to the student and the student to the teacher. It is through systematic teaching that we are also called to be researchers in our field to enhance student learning through data-based programming. Part of my goal as an educator is to provide students with the skills to be more accountable in their own teaching abilities and classroom management.
In the Franciscan Tradition, I stress a mutual respect for the "other." We are all "buona gente," good people with a willingness to collaborate together. It is through our practices and deeds that we instill in our students, the "future educators," how to be present, to dialogue and to be a witness in order to build "right relationships" with others.
My emphasis is on students believing in themselves, following their dreams, being rooted in the Spirit of life, being open to risk, and walking with courage.

Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton released a press statement on Preventing Mass Atrocities and Serious Human Rights Violations on August 4, 2011. Secretary Clinton said:
"Preventing mass atrocities and serious human rights violations is both a powerful moral imperative and a compelling strategic interest for the United States. The new interagency Atrocities Prevention Board announced by President Obama today will develop cross-cutting strategies to prevent atrocities and ensure that senior officials throughout our government are warned about emerging threats. And for the first time, we will explicitly bar persons identified as organizing or participating in war crimes, crimes against humanity, and certain serious violations of human rights from entering the United States.
"These steps, accompanied by a thorough interagency review of our practices and capabilities, will improve our ability to prevent and respond to future mass atrocities and human rights violations. They will help us put our principles into practice and protect more people in more places."

Does this include barring leaders of state sponsors of terror from attending the 2011 UNGA by denying visa for Amadinijad, Bashir, Ghaddafi, Assad and their ilk?
If not, I'm afraid there's a loophole folks could drive a truck-bomb through in this initiative.
Host nation agreements with the UN can't be the exception to the rule if this is going to have any chance of making a dent in the ongoing atrocities folks seek to prevent.
Unless you plan to issue visa and arrest them and then send them all to the Hague.

XI. Gambling and Crime
Gambling is often associated with crime. The relationship is easy to understand. Many types of gambling have been, indeed still are, illegal. Hence, by definition, criminals were the only operators of games. When gambling restrictions were relaxed, criminals were the first to open up legal gambling establishments. A lax regulatory framework in Nevada did not prevent members of organized crime from openly owning and operating casinos. To some degree, Nevada needed the criminals to make gambling viable because no one else had their expertise and experience.1
Up to the 1960s, Nevada had a Difficult Time Keeping Mobsters out of the Casinos. Nevada was plagued by teamster financing, hidden ownership, employment of individuals of questionable character and background, and the clear links to organized crime.2 In this context, organized crime doesn't just mean Mafia.3 Nevada improved its regulation only under the threat of federal intervention.4 The federal government believed, with good reason, that Nevada casinos were fueling organized crime throughout the country.
Because of this history, the concern about organized crime usually is raised whenever legalizing gambling is discussed. Even when New Hampshire began its state lottery in 1964, there was concern that organized crime would take over.5
Much has changed since the days when Bugsy Siegel started the first modern casino in Las Vegas. Organized crime has become part of the mystique of gambling but it is without significant influence today. Las Vegas and the Flamingo are part of an historical association with organized crime.
Modern Casino Gaming Has Safeguards to Protect Against Organized Crime. Casino gaming has become one of the most highly regulated industries in America. The companies and individuals involved are very carefully scrutinized and held to extremely high standards. The organized crime scare is simply that, a scare according to many observers.6 Gambling is indeed associated with crime, specifically political corruption.
The casino companies suggest that they are devoid of organized crime influence because they are:
Nevertheless, there remains an ever present concern about organized crime. The sheer volume of money, cash in particular, that is generated by gambling, makes it a tempting target. Organized crime has been successful infiltrating ancillary businesses such as machine maintenance or those that provide other services.7 Often labor unions are used as the vehicle to carry out the infiltration.8 There are examples of organized crime infiltration. For example, as discussed in the section on gambling and politics, the FBI is investigating allegations that Louisiana state legislators took multimillion dollar payoffs to approve an expansion of video poker. The individuals attempting to buy influence were connected to organized crime families.
Researchers state that organized crime is more of a product of illegal or poorly regulated gambling than well-regulated gambling.9 That is especially worrisome because gambling isn't just done within the large casinos. There are many other gambling opportunities and not all are as well-regulated or as free of organized crime influence as casinos. In California, cardrooms and Indian casinos have been a focus of concern about criminal infiltration.
The Role of Organized Crime and Indian Gaming has Been a Controversial One. As noted in the section on Indian gaming, the charge that Indian gaming has been infiltrated by organized crime has been made. Competitors and antigambling interests use that charge as an attack on Indian gaming. Some researchers and industry observers are quick to point out that, however, there is no evidence that organized crime has significantly infiltrated Indian gambling operations.10 Others counter that inadequate regulation and oversight make it harder to find evidence. But there is ample evidence of attempts, some of which have met with success.
The Los Angeles Times ran a lengthy article on Mafia attempts to take over an Indian gaming operation in California.11 The attempts were ultimately unsuccessful. The information used in the article was from a long-running federal investigation. The same investigation eventually ended with the conviction of Richard Silberman, the former State Director of Finance, on charges unrelated to the gambling infiltration attempt.
There have been other incidents.12 Two tribal leaders who had complained that Indians weren't getting a fair share of gambling profits at another facility were later murdered. At the Barona Reservation, a bingo manager was caught rigging games so that shills in the audience could win. Later, he testified about mob involvement in a number of Indian casinos throughout the country. Some of what he said has been substantiated. These events did occur, however, during the earlier years of Indian gaming.
Gambling is a Natural Target for Criminals Because of the Large Amounts of Cash. Gambling operations, including cardrooms, earn large amounts of cash and present particular opportunities for skimming and money laundering. Dealers don't have to continually inventory their chips and money while they are working, providing opportunities for fraud. In addition, cheats are drawn to casinos and cardrooms because of the large amount of money generated by the facilities. Dealer skimming of chips by palming or collusion is probably the greatest risk.13 Clubs allow employees to gamble when they aren't working, a situation that can lead to collusion. Other risks include credit abuse, card cheaters, and currency transaction violations. Because of these factors, proper operations and security are very important.
Skimming has been a significant problem. The Kefauver committee found that it was widespread. There were indictments in the early 1960s of casino owners for tax evasion. Skimming can also occur with the granting of credit. Credit can be granted to individuals who aren't required to repay all of the loan. One solution is to prohibit credit, but that can increase the problem of loan sharking.
Money laundering is another problem. Bettors can come in with a large amount of cash and purchase chips. The chips can then be cashed in, labeled as "winnings" and the money is now legal. In California cardrooms, where the house is not the banker, it is harder to dispute claims of large winnings. Federal regulations require that currency transactions of $10,000 or more must be reported including multiple transactions that exceed $10,000. Employees have to be alert to the time periods and possibility of multiple transactions.
Another issue is kickbacks. These occur in a variety of different situations. Operators can receive kickbacks for allowing money laundering. Employees can be pressured into giving kickbacks for preferred assignments.
Crime has Been an Issue for Cardclubs. Although there has not been an overall comprehensive study, information is available from a report by the Attorney General, new reports, as well as a report by the City of San Jose Police Chief.14 According to these sources, there have been robberies and assaults of patrons who had left the cardclubs after making money. In the news reports, the criminals and victims are usually Asian and have been playing Asian games which frequently have high stakes.
There is debate about the role of the clubs and crime. The City of San Jose produced a memorandum showing dramatic increases in crime in the area where a new club opened.15 But it is hard to know if that is a result of more people coming into the neighborhood or criminals following the money. The police chief of San Bruno states that the club there presents no crime problem.
Some of the crime may be unrelated to the gambling that occurs at the cardclubs. Rather, the club is a suitable place to meet individuals who are willing to buy stolen property, drugs, or cars without registration. Other activities such as loan sharking and credit card/check fraud have been noted. Unfortunately, some of these crimes are difficult to prosecute. There is some belief that gambling crimes are victimless. This thinking ignores the role of organized crime behind some of these. Loan sharking can be difficult to prosecute because the victim doesn't want to be involved.
In the City of Commerce, seven individuals linked to a Chicago crime syndicate were indicted by a federal grand jury for racketeering, extortion, and conspiracy. The loansharking and bookmaking operations occurred in the California Bell Club before the Gaming Registration Act was fully implemented in 1984.
Since then, however, there have been other incidents. A Santa Clara grand jury indicted 14 individuals associated with the Garden City cardclub. Skimming of approximately $4 million in club revenues occurred. The subjects were eventually convicted of filing false income tax returns, making illegal campaign contributions, theft of club assets, and perjury. This is a case where upper level management of the club was involved. While less frequent than participation by low or mid-level employees, the scope for criminal activity is greater when upper level management is involved. Another example was the attempted effort of Chinese organized crime figures to purchase a cardclub.
Detailed information about the cardclub in Bell Gardens, the Bicycle Club, sheds light on criminal acts in cardclubs. The Federal government was a part owner. The club had been seized because it was financed through ill-gotten gains. Following is a listing of some important developments at the club:16
The television news show, "60 Minutes" did a report on the club. They were able to catch on camera the laundering of money at the club.
Loan sharking has also been an issue for the clubs.17 This crime is particularly dangerous for the problem gambler who needs money for gambling. Because of their compulsion it is easy to end up in debt to a loan shark.
The purpose of detailing some of the crime is to give a general sense of some of the problems that have occurred. A more detailed listing of cardclub crime can be found in the information available from the Department of Justice.
Federal Concern for Money Laundering Evidence by New Regulatory Requirements. During 1996, the U.S. Department of Treasury's Financial Crime Enforcement Network proposed to more tightly regulate cash transactions at California cardrooms and Indian casinos. The federal regulation adds cardclubs and Indian casinos to the definition of financial institutions under the Bank Secrecy Act. The purpose is to prevent fraud and tax evasion. Under this rule, the facilities will be required to maintain a comprehensive record keeping program and establish anti-money laundering safeguards. Part of the justification that the Treasury provided was that California is unable to monitor and regulate the activities of cardclubs absent additional resources and a gaming commission.
Another Crime Issue Associated with Gambling is Street Crime. U.S. News and World Report did a comparison of crime rates in cities with gambling versus those that do not. The crime rates were significantly higher in the places that allowed gambling.18 Industry researchers dispute the view that cities with gambling have higher crime rates and assert that the rates aren't higher when the tourist population is considered.19 The article failed to consider that these cities are vacation destinations and their population is swollen by the influx of tourists.
Atlantic City showed a jump in crime when gambling was legalized. The city went from 50th in the nation in per capita crime to first.20 But when the number of tourists are taken into account, Atlantic City doesn't appear to have a crime rate that is much different from other cities.
In Deadwood, there were significant increases in crime and violence when gambling was legalized.21 The researcher acknowledges that the influx of people may be the cause. Another possible cause is the boom-town atmosphere.
Another researcher has pointed out that the crime that is attributable to compulsive gamblers is often underreported.22 This includes bad checks, embezzlement, check forgery and fraud. The crime rate is usually for street crimes, which aren't typically attributed to compulsive gamblers.
As noted in the economic section, Australia legalized a number of casinos. As such it offers a kind of a laboratory to see the results of expanded legal gaming. There was a noted increase in minor crimes, including vandalism and property damage by casino patrons. That may just reflect the growing number of tourists. There was not a big crime wave or any infiltration by organized crime.
Illegal Gambling is Still a Significant Problem. How big is illegal gambling? It may run as high as $100 billion per year.23 Other estimates put the figure even higher.24 That may seem like a very large figure, but as noted earlier, sports betting is immensely popular and most of it is illegal. The large extent of illegal sports betting is one of the reasons that some used to advocate its legalization. Others claim that business with illegal bookies would not decline because they offer better odds, credit, tax free payouts, and greater convenience in placing bets and collecting winnings.25
Sports books are not the only component of illegal gambling. In San Jose, police raids led to the confiscation of 60 illegal slot machines at 14 different business establishments.

Skip to comments.Leno Taking Shots At NBC And Obama
Posted on 03/20/2013 5:00:13 PM PDT by ConservativeMan55
Looks like Leno knows he's out so he's going scorched earth here. LOL
"You know the whole legend of St. Patrick, right? St. Patrick drove all the snakes out of Ireland, and then they came into the United States and became NBC executives," Leno joked, as some in his studio audience gasped. "It's a fascinating story, a fascinating story.
On Tuesday, Leno joked:
"Did you hear about this? A 28-year-old woman from Serbia has a rare brain condition where she sees everything upside down. The good news? She's now been given a job at the White House as President Obama's economic adviser. Isn't that crazy? It's unbelievable. She sees everything upside down. In fact, she thinks NBC is at the top of the ratings."
"And also look for President Obama next month on the cover of The Economist. It's their annual April Fools issue."
Leno knows he's out at NBC.. so he's going to have some fun on his way out the door.
What happened? His ratings dropped or something?
He always had top rated late night show!
I think a combination of dropping ratings plus.. NBC Executives want their hand picked guy, Jimmy Fallon.
Although Leno is the most-watched late-night show host, ABC's Jimmy Kimmel has been making in-roads with the coveted 18-49 demographic. NBC brass doesn't want Kimmel — who had been in the midnight time slot until recently moving up half an hour — to be firmly established before it gets a chance to move Fallon into Leno's chair.
Wow! Nice!!
He's worth a coupla' tens a' million, so I don't think he really should care about eating expenses if he loses his job. But going after Obambozo? Just ain't done!
Yep, the begining of the end of "The Tonight Show".
In one article I read, NBC Execs said Fallon is the closest thing to Johnny Carson they've ever seen.
They probably care more about him taking shots at Obummer than they do him taking shots at THEM!!
Yep Leno knows he's done..those jokes were great though, for a second there he didn't sound like a far left kook..maybe he realizes Obama wants to take his money
I know he's probably a liberal, but he's always seemed like he'd be a relatively cool guy to kick back and have a beer with. Maybe it's because he's such a motorhead. Anybody who loves cars as much as he does can't be all bad, can he?
They are pushing Fallon...And I just don' see it. He really has zero talent and I don't get it. Any more than Will Farrell another no talent hack, They are the 21st century equivalent of Pauly Shore.
* Move to Texas.
* Take your car museum too, and get a tax break to boot..
* after your non-compete agreement is over, do a comedy show on the Blaze...
NBC would **** their pants, that would be the ultimate Schadenfruede...
Fallon is a smirking, piece of crap.
For anyone to allow their band to play the filth they played when Sarah Palin was a guest on his show, that speaks volumes about their character.
He is and will never be, in any way, even remotely similar to Johnny Carson.
Was it Sarah Palin or Michelle Bachmann?
Great stuff. Brian Williams probably had to be given sedatives when he heard about it.
I dunno, didn't you see him in Band Of Brothers ?
Leno is leaving the Tonite show?
They're pushing him out.
And they're moving The Tonight Show to NY.
They also don't want to lose Fallon when his contract is up. He could conceivably move to another network or cable net and take them on during the "Tonight Show" slot.
But so what? There's no ratings evidence Fallon can beat Leno.
It's the same play they ran with Conan — fire Leno and give Conan the slot he demanded, to prevent Conan from taking the same slot at another network.
That didn't work out so well for them last time; I don't know why they think it will now. Kimmel might be making "in-roads" — but Leno still wins the time slot.
Who fires a proven ratings winner not once but twice?! Only NBC.
You are right!!! It was Michelle Bachmann.
I did see band of brothers, it was OK.
I don't know what it is about Fallon that just rubs me the wrong way. I find him annoying, and his characters un-believable.
Absolutely boneheaded move on NBC's part. Fallon's audience is mostly stoned college students. He can occasionally be funny when he's doing singing impressions, and not acting jittery and giggling at his own jokes. And he seems like a nice guy (he apologized and claimed he didn't know about the insulting music cue for Michelle Bachmann; that was picked by the leader of his ridiculously overpraised band, the Roots). But I only see him when Craig Ferguson is in reruns because there's no question of which one's funnier. If he were an hour earlier, I'd only watch him if Kimmel and Conan were in reruns. And he'd be fourth choice if Fox or someone else snaps up Leno, which they would be idiots not to do.
Jimmy Fallon is no Johnny Carson. Carson started by hosting a daytime talk/game show and was so brilliant, he took over the Tonight Show, the realm of hosts like Steve Allen and Jack Paar.
Back in the golden age of TV, the network would've known where Fallon belongs: on daytime TV. He's likeable without being overly talented, housewives think he's adorable, and he likes to play silly games like Pictionary with celebrities and audience members and give away prizes to both the winners and losers. He's the modern equivalent of Bob Barker or Art Linkletter, (host of "Houseparty," which could also be the name of Fallon's show). I would also say Bill Cullen, but he was much funnier than Jimmy Fallon.
For those too young to remember any of them, I'll put it this way: Fallon is like a slightly more butch Ellen DeGeneres, or a slightly less butch Rosie O'Donnell. They all had some standup comedy background, but they're not there because they're comic geniuses, they're there because they keep bored housewives from feeling lonely or going crazy when they're alone with the kids all day.
saw his opening last night. I asked the spousal unit where those barbs at Obama have been for the last 5 or 6 years???
Wouldn't it be a laugh if he keeps up nailing our "leaderless fear" and his ratings go sky high???
One can hope.
cause that worked so well with whatzisname, Conan
plus he enjoys frequenting strip clubs...
i like Conan...
He started making fun of "The Won." And we all know "that's raaaaacis!"
I liked Kimmel a lot more when he was teamed with Adam Carolla on The Man Show.
I hope Jay goes on another channel and blows James off the air
I would get the Blaze if Jay joined Glenn......what freedom Jay would have
NBC: We're #5! We're #5
Univision can whip them

Large capacity insulated bottle for longer cycling or outdoor adventures.
CamelBak is the official hydration sponsor for the pro cycling team Garmin-Sharp-Barracuda. The team uses Podium bottles in training and during races.
Learn More >
Double-wall construction keeps water cold twice as long as regular sport bottles
Large 25 oz (750ml) water capacity
Innovative, self-sealing Jet Valve™ eliminates splatters and spills.
Lightweight, easy-squeeze bottle delivers the right flow to quench your thirst
100% Free of BPA and BPS
TruTaste™ polypropylene with HydroGuard™ lets you taste your water, not your bottle.
Positive lockout for leakproof transport
Wide-mouth opening is easy to fill with ice and water and a breeze to clean
Also keeps warm beverages warm during cool weather rides
Dishwasher Safe: All parts are top-rack dishwasher safe
CamelBak® Got Your Bak™ Guarantee: If we built it, we'll Bak it™ with our lifetime guarantee.
The Podium® Big Chill Bottle is dishwasher-safe and easy to clean. Remove the cap assembly, making sure the Jet Valve™ lockout is open, and place it with the bottle on the top rack of your dishwasher. For best results, we recommend avoiding high-heat settings such as 'sanitary clean' or 'heat boost' which may distort plastic components. We don't recommend forcing a brush or other cleaning tool through the Jet Valve cross-slit (i.e. where you drink).
Please note that the Podium caps are primarily composed of two components: the Jet Valve™ and the silicone nozzle. To wash the cap by hand, pull off the silicone nozzle and wipe cap with a soapy sponge. Rinse thoroughly and snap the nozzle back on. Do not disassemble small parts of the cap Jet Valve. Disassembly of the plastic cap could lead to leaks or product malfunction.
I'm used to the CamelBak bite valve, where's the bite valve on this bottle?
The Podium® Bottle and Podium® Chill are designed specifically for cycling, offering optimum, hassle-free hydration via an innovative feature called the CamelBak® Jet Valve™. Made from medical-grade silicone and designed to flow automatically when you squeeze the bottle, the Jet Valve vents pressure and seals shut automatically when you're done. It's simple—no biting involved. So say goodbye to yanking your old pop-top bottle open with your teeth and bashing it shut on your hip, as well as bothersome drips and leaks.
OK, I get the Jet Valve™, but do I still need to suck on the nozzle to drink?
It's your choice. You can either put the nozzle between your lips, or just open your mouth and squirt. The Jet Valve™ opens automatically when you squeeze, then shuts automatically to prevent drips. Since there's no pop-top valve to shut off, you can guide the nozzle into helmet vents easily without accidentally shutting off the valve.
Explain the lockout valve under the nozzle. Do I need to shut this off every time I drink?
No. The Jet Valve™ keeps your bottle sealed and drip-free during use. The rotary valve under the nozzle on the cap is actually a secondary lock-out. We recommend using the lock-out exclusively for storage, i.e. if you're storing the bottle in a bike bag or trunk. Leave it open during rides or for easy access when you're drinking from the bottle. You can also lock out your backup bottle on the bike to prevent any unexpected squirts from potholes or other big hits.
How does the Podium® Chill Bottle insulation work?
The Podium® Chill features a unique, low-profile double-wall construction with a layer of airtight, insulating foam. Compared to other insulated bike bottles that can be stiff or bulky (or both), the Chill bottle is lightweight, easy to squeeze, and fits a lot of water volume into a small space. That's why we call it, "Cool without Compromise."
Can I put sports drinks in the Podium® Bottle or Podium® Chill Bottle?
Absolutely. However, make sure to clean the bottle thoroughly after each use.
Can I use carbonated beverages?
Yes. The Jet Valve™ automatically vents pressure so that "fizz" will not cause pressure buildup. Please note, if the lockout is shut off, there will be pressure buildup, which isn't dangerous, but could lead to unexpected spray when opened.
Can I put hot liquids in it?
Warm beverages are OK in the Podium® provided they're not hot enough to burn your mouth. Extra-hot or boiling water can distort the plastic in the bottle but warm tea is a nice treat for a cold ride.
Is the bottle microwave-safe?
We don't recommend heating the bottle in a microwave since contents can heat unevenly. We only recommend putting warm liquids in the Podium® and Podium® Chill Bottles.
Can I freeze the bottle?
You can freeze the bottle, but before you do, make sure that the bottle is only partially full. We recommend only 3/4 full to allow for expansion of the water as it freezes to ice. Place the bottle in the freezer right side up. Remember: you won't be able to drink until components have thawed.

As an avid bicyclist a good water bottle is a must have, especially for long trail rides. Thanks to Camelbak, I had the opportunity to try out their Big Chill insulated bottle. I've used and tested it for 2 weeks now and my overall first impressions are that it's a great bottle for anyone on the go. Able to hold 25 ounces of cool liquid, its rather compact, so it fits nicely into the bottle cage on my large frame 26 inch bike. Just to be sure, if you are planning to use this on your bicycle, if you have a smaller frame bicycle or a ladies bike, you may want to measure first to ensure that the bottle will fit. Now on to construction and materials, made from a lightweight BPA free plastic with insulation and a spillproof Jet Valve, it is very easy to quench your thirst without the hassle of having to stop your bike, pull off the cap, pull up the stopper, taking time off of your ride. Having used other bottles, I can say that this bottle is the easiest to use. It is relatively easy to squeeze and the Jet Valve provides a nice burst of water. Since it is insulated, the water stays cool and refreshing for hours. The only downside is, as with most plastic bottles, is that it scratches easily when pulling it in and out of the bottle cage. If you are not using it for cycling, or don't plan on placing it in some sort of holder, scuffing most likely will not be a problem.All in all the Camelbak Podium BigChill is a great bottle. I wouldn't hesititate to recommend it to those with active lifestyles or just someone searching for a nice, insulated bottle. Added bonus: The lifetime warranty on the cap means you never have to worry about leaks or breakage. 4.5 out of 5 stars* Disclosure: I received a complimentary bottle from the company. I was not required to write a postive review.*

I've got 2 of these bottles - for rides under 30mi I'll take one, over 30 I'll take both. In my experience, they hold water cold for hours, but ice melts in about an hour. Probably depends on temperature of water you first put in the bottle.My gripe that brought me here today looking for a fix: from the moment I bought these bottles (months apart at separate stores) they leak. I can tighten the top on really tight, then they leak less, but they still leak. When I'm on the bike, I don't mind too much, but before/after rides if I go to take a swig, I've got a mess to clean up in the house.

Comments about CamelBak Podium® Big Chill 25oz:
Been using the chills for several years. Would never go back to standard bottles. Very little issue with leaks but the mouth piece is the best on the market. No fiddling around to open and close.Grab the bottle, squirt, put it back – all in one quick movement. No loss of pedalling rhythm and no mess.I freeze a smoothy for long rides and it thaws out in about 4 – 5 hours, just when I really need it!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I have only one that I use for cycling. It does a great job of keeping water cold but i am very disappointed at the rate at which it leaks.The leak is not just a trickle but a rather large flow making it a challenge to stay dry.I used it only once and never again!A simple rubber seal, the cost of pennies, would make all the difference.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

I had high hopes for this bottle following reviews and personal experience of an Eddy bottle. You can only squirt water into your mouth, sometimes choking when it hits the back of your throat, nozzle tastes horrible. As I use it at night to remain hydrated, I ended up with a soaked PJ top - not funny, on the other hand it does keep water cool which you can then squirt into a glass at arms length, for that reason and the expense I shall keep it

No issues, no leak
By Destado1
from Englewood, FL
I have had 2 of these, ordered from Camelbak, for about 3 weeks now. I was hesitant at first due to reviews about leaks, but figured, what the heck. $28 for two bottles I took my chances. I have used both bottles, and there is not a leak one, either at the mouth piece or the lid. I wouldn't trade them for anything
Good but needs few improvements

* Love the jet valve that lets you sip or squirt at will* Water stay cool for good duration-----------------------------------------------------------------* Yes if you do not tighten it properly it will leak * My BIGGEST complain - when I am riding bike the drinking tip gets all dusty and muddy. I try to wrap a plastic around it but then it makes drinking while on the go impossible. If "Camelbak" is really listening please come up with a replacement cap that has a cover on top. For this reason I have stopped using Camelbak bottle and started using a different one with a lid cover.

They leak constantly!
By Bammo
from Western Australia
I've got two and they both leak from the lid. I've tried the various methods mentioned on forums but to no avail. One of them can be tightened using gorilla hands and is (mostly) leak-free. The other leaks (actually, gushes) water down my shirt every darned time no matter how carefully it is closed.Given the large number of people complaining about this you would think Camelback would do something about it, surely? Hasn't really inspired me to go out and buy a 3rd product from them I have to say...

25oz Chiller = Leaker
By Bob the Biker
from Lou KY
I love the larger size, I bought 2 of these & they both LEAK around the lid. I even tried some lids for other Camelbak bottles, they still leak. I use electrolytes in my drinks, the salt is not good for my bike cables. I have 4 of the smaller 21oz bottles, they are just great.
Awesome bottle, never leaks!
By Cyclist hiker
from Small Town, Colorado
I use these bottles for everything, cycling, hiking, trips in the car, plane, etc. The seal is not quite as good as a fully flat screw top hard plastic bottle, but it seals much better than an ordinary sport bottle. I would not put it inside a down sleeping bag, but I think nothing about putting one inside my day pack. My go-to bottle. I am surprised people have had trouble with leaking - that is the best part of these bottles: they don't leak.

PREP GIRLS' BASKETBALL: Cathedral stomps LCWM
NEW ULM – New Ulm Cathedral reeled off 19 straight points to open the first half and cruised to a 58-12 win over Lake Crystal-Wellcome Memorial Thursday night in non-conference girls basketball action.
The win was the Greyhounds' sixth in a row since losing Dec. 7 to Wabasso.
The Knights tried to use a full-court press on Cathedral, but the Greyhounds were able to successfully work the ball up the floor and score points. LCWM abandoned the press later in the first half.
Cold shooting also hurt the Knights. They kept shooting the ball, but the shots would not drop. The half-time score was 29-2 for Cathedral.
LCWM tried to implement the press again in the second half, and it bothered the Greyhounds as they turned the ball over several times.
Cathedral countered with an up-tempo attack and it was able to out-score LCWM 29-10 in the half to seal the win.
Turnovers also affected LCWM, because the Greyhounds continued their tough defense that helped them jump out the convincing first-half lead.
Paige Pautzke and Karlee Pfaff each scored 10 points for Cathedral. Abby Hauser added seven points. Anne Schwarz had five steals and six rebounds.
LCWM was doomed by cold shooting, finishing the game with only three field goals. The Knights' other six points came from the free throw line, where they were 6-for-10.
Cathedral meanwhile had 18 field goals, five 3-point shots and was 7-for-11 from the free-throw line.

Busiest time of the year and I'm procrastinating trying to headbutt a GoPro.
There's something about my semi transient sense of life that's stoking me out. I'm back in Sydney in between shoots, literally lurking on the beach or a carpark working on another Ocean film and sauntering out during sunrise and sunsets; never have felt more alive in the past while.
Vague? You betcha.
I see numerous vanlife members on their way up the coast or hanging around but the difference is I can't sit still. Bondi is full of them, if you've been, you know, the Police were hard on the case of an abandoned (suspected) campervan today, it's owners upped and left for somewhere else, the mentality of 'meh' is actually hard to adopt with the amount of buzz around the place. The Shades of Morning series was a reflection of that, and one I'm most stoked on, although winter is here and the numbers have dropped the hype remains.
I've shifted from sunrise to sunset, there's more people around after the 'heat' of the day (it reached 24 degrees and it's the middle of winter). Even still, some people-less scenes reflect my current hype reel levels. Or maybe that's the sugar, winning yet again.
Sunset love.
I have a few friends who confuse me at times. It could be the incessant need to hunt and kill fish, or the incessant need to hunt, kill, and attack each other in the process with offal from said catch, or all of the above when the weather is less than ideal.
But, I had a few things to test with a new camera setup, so I donned an old wetsuit and went along for the ride.
Tourism North Queensland's 'One Day In Paradise' campaign
Shooting underwater is weird.
After four years of working on the underwater series I thought I had dealt with a fair few problems, from infections to reef cuts to White Sharks, so when Tourism North Queensland approached me to make a short film doing what I do on the Great Barrier Reef I said 'No problem'.
Add a late season tropical storm and an Irukandji (Box jellyfish) restriction; I was stumped.
The showcase film we went to make wasn't going to happen, and while reflecting on this in the interview we decided to focus on the challenges we tend to go through while pursuing our chosen career paths.
Even with the problems and copious amounts of stress I'm more stoked on this film than one I pitched, huge thanks goes to my crew for sticking it out.

I spent February on Bondi Beach, working on a series of photographs that capture the essence of the beach culture along Sydney's Eastern Beaches. At sunrise every morning you'll find hundreds of people exercising, swimming, photographing, just enjoying the morning - only to disappear at 9am when the tourist buses roll in. It's a magical time of morning, and I tried a variation of the Thirty Minute technique to find the spirit amongst the morning people.

2012 was about rolling with the hits and misses, learning and adapting, while staying true to what I believe. No compromise.

My collaboration calendar with UK based environmental org Surfers Against Sewage has just been launched, featuring 12 photos from the underwater series. I'm stoked to use what I've focused on for the past three years to help organisations who are actively looking after the ocean. Priced at £15 with postage, funds will go towards their Protect our Waves campaign.
"I'm done bro, I'm done."
With those few words Mike rose to his feet in ankle deep water and began the 10 minute walk towards shore, dodging thick black urchins and sharp reef outcrops while assessing his wounds. Even from behind the waves I could see a stream of blood run down his arm, and t-shirt turn red across his shoulders.
This was in the first hour of a 10 day shoot.
We both knew the reefs on the island were shallow; we'd been there before and surfed the waves, but shooting The Underwater Project dictates no boards and definitely no wetsuits - meaning the danger of losing skin was increased tenfold.
With a wary eye watching for rogue waves I watched as Mike left the water, he stumbled on a few urchin spines adding insult to injury; and I wondered if there was something else that I could shoot underwater.
After a few technical adjustments (read : complete confusion with new gear); the Mare Vida series found me.

In June I spent time at the Kigamboni Community Centre in Tanzania, working to showcase the positive impact they've had in rising up talents of the local youth.
We held an exhibition in Sydney last weekend to raise funds for next year's education programs which went pretty well; I'm super stoked to be involved in helping people help others.
Jackson is one of the standout stories from the centre, see his story below, and the rest of the stories at www.marktipple.com/risingup
Summer 2012 was tough.
With the amount of rain and storms marching
through Sydney I was hanging out for April, last year April proved worth
the wait with crystal clear bath warm water all along the beaches in
Being lazy as I am, I focused on Bronte beach, having moved a few blocks away to a larger apartment at the start of the year my shooting consistency dropped as the books proved more work than anticipated, plus the added distance meant I had to battle traffic and trigger happy parking rangers….my pet hate.
However, April didn't let me down. I was working on a few underwater film shoots with scuba and a tripod, sometimes much to the surprise of the swimmers when I surfaced in full scuba right next to them, had some weird looks and comments as it was only 4 foot deep. Even so I managed to shoot some stills in the lay days.
Dark Paradise was shot on one of those lay days, when the water looked clear from above but wasn't totally free of sediment and weed below. I was going to pass on it but I had a few hours to kill, and needed a salt fix. The waves were a playful 2-3 foot, big enough to produce the plumes of whitewater but not big enough to stop swimmers from coming out further to where they were breaking. I was a little out of position as a wave started to form, and thought of shooting right behind through the breaking water and maybe seeing the beach through the glassy wall, but a touch of sea-breeze made the lip crumble and the face bumpy.
One of the luxuries of this digital generation is the ability to shoot regardless of the wave or my position; I'd rather have to delete a bunch of 'nothings' than run the risk of missing the moment by simply being conservative and not pressing the button.
As the wave was breaking and moving away from me I saw the splash and shadow of a swimmer start to dive under, for some reason he angled himself across the wave and not straight through, as my camera buffered out and the fps slowed considerably I was left with the last image on the display keeping me stoked.
I try to be as close to swimmers as I can to show as much detail and expression as possible, although this was shot from more than twice as far away as usual it just seems to work.

This summer was tough.
I lost count after 10 consecutive days of rain earlier in January, then when the clouds finally parted allowing the sun to shine the water was filled with sediment and muck for the following week - which would coincide perfectly for the next spell of rain. Frustrating to say the least.
While Sydney suffered under El Niño's grasp I spent a fair bit of time in South Australia, wanting to focus on the Ocean films I've been working on I teamed up with good friends Mike and Luke to produce West Away, a film about why we do what we do. Personally it was an epic time as I've been away from that sort of searching trip since moving to Sydney a few years ago. Even though the Underwater Project was put aside to focus on pre and post of West Away I'm stoked on the outcome, it seemed all the more fitting to feature Mike in the film having started the Underwater Project with him on a dusty trip to the desert almost two and a half years ago.
As winter creeps a little closer every day, the Summer 2012 Gallery is somewhat of a reportage of the past 8 months with some good days in amongst the bad - while also paying homage to some of the selects from years past. In the coming months I'll be focusing on another Ocean film and a humanitarian project, until sometime in September when the clouds disappear giving way to warmer water and sunny skies and the underwater series will start up again.
In the meantime, I've added an acrylic panel print option along with the standard matte/gloss/canvas options - acrylics look amazing as the waves are almost 3D - check the window on the right hand side of each gallery for more information, and the books are still finding their way to homes around the world. I'm still humbled on the reception of the series.
