Yesterday evening began with Liverpool announcing, in the most petulant manner imaginable, that they would not appeal Luis Suarez's eight-match ban.
There is not much ED has to say that it did not say after the initial 'guilty' verdict.
Liverpool's latest extraordinary rant against Patrice Evra and the FA brings more dishonour on one of this country's great football clubs.
Parts of Liverpool's argument have merit, and they are perfectly entitled to stand behind a player who has made a serious error of judgement but is not fundamentally racist.
However, their refusal to accept even the slightest wrongdoing on Suarez's part is extremely damaging, and it is hard to believe a club of Liverpool's stature could misjudge the situation so horribly.
Use of the word 'negro' with reference to somebody's skin colour is obviously unacceptable. The argument that it is commonly used in Uruguay has never carried any weight.
Suarez's conversation might have taken place in Spanish, but Evra is not Uruguayan. He is a Senegal-born Frenchman, and the exchange took place in England.
In life and sport, you have to observe the rules and cultural norms of whatever country you happen to be in. That isn't cultural arrogance. It's what happens.
If ED goes to Dubai and staggers, drunk and naked, along the beach, the argument that it could do the same thing in England without anyone minding very much is unlikely to cut much ice.
Liverpool and Suarez are essentially arguing that he (and any other Uruguayan player) should be allowed to continue directing the word 'negro' at black players, as long as they do it with a cheeky smile. Can they not see how insane this is?
All Liverpool needed to say was: "Luis's choice of words to Patrice Evra was unfortunate and wrong, and he has resolved to not use such language again on an English football pitch. He is not a racist and Liverpool FC stands behind him fully."
Once that is out of the way, they can make the following points of mitigation:
-Evra and the FA both accepted Suarez is not a racist.
-There are linguistic and cultural complexities relating to the word 'negro'.
-Evra is no angel, and himself directed some fairly uncompromising language at Suarez.
Without even the remotest acknowledgement that it's not OK to call people 'negro', Liverpool appear deluded and paranoid in equal measure.
Last night's TV and radio coverage kept throwing up the same words: "Liverpool need to move on."
Leave it, it's not worth it. Think of the children.
In other words, people have given up trying to make them see sense; they just want to drag them away from a situation that cannot possibly end well.
Liverpool FC are basically football's equivalent of a belligerent drunk in a bar confrontation. Sod reasonable debate, just bundle them in a taxi and get them out of there.

What followed later in the evening at the Etihad Stadium was arguably even more worrying for Kenny Dalglish, as his side were brushed aside by Manchester City.
Liverpool lie sixth in the Premier League and on current form look likely to stay there.
They have managed only 24 goals in 20 games - fewer than Blackburn, Norwich and Sunderland, and at least 12 fewer than any of the top five.
There is talk of 'progress' at Anfield, but this was not a side with a great deal wrong with it.
Only once in Rafa Benitez's six-season tenure did Liverpool fail to reach the Champions League, and the Spaniard was sacked for it.
Once the Reds had got the unhappy Roy Hodgson era out of their system, Early Doors expected them to kick on from last year's sixth-place finish.
Instead, they have been static.
Despite a summer of heavy spending, there appear to be few signs of improvement.
Stewart Downing, Charlie Adam and Jordan Henderson are good players, but none has the elite quality to push Liverpool back into the title picture, and a combined £41m for the three looks very steep.
Most glaringly, the £35m gamble on Andy Carroll is failing badly. Liverpool have some good forwards, but none of Suarez, Craig Bellamy and Dirk Kuyt is a true finisher.
Neither is Carroll, who has scored just four goals in 25 Premier League games for his new club.
More concerning, the size and strength that made him so feared at Newcastle now make him look like a clumsy anachronism.
One man's powerhouse striker is another's lumbering carthorse.
Liverpool hoped Carroll could be their Didier Drogba. But the Geordie lacks Drogba's pace, skill, and most crucially his determination to improve himself.
There is still time - Carroll is 22. Drogba was 25 before he emerged as a real force at Marseille.
But, for all his hissy fits, Drogba is a ferociously dedicated professional who toiled untiringly to make the most of his abilities.
Carroll does not seem to share that appetite for hard work. At a time when Liverpool need a goalscorer like never before, now might be the right time for Carroll to knuckle down.

Reporter: "Kenny, the wider world is pretty shocked that, if a player can call someone 'negro' and the player who is the victim in this takes offence, that there is no apology or contrition offered from your club."
Dalglish: "I would have thought that, if you pronounced the word properly, you maybe understand it better. I think it was Spanish he was speaking and I don't think you were speaking Spanish there."
Reporter: "OK, if a player calls someone 'negro' [Spanish pronunciation], surely the player who takes offence deserves an apology?"
Dalglish: "Ask a linguistic expert, which certainly I am not. They will tell you that the part of the country in Uruguay where he (Luis Suarez) comes from, it is perfectly acceptable. His wife calls him that and I don't think he is offended by her. We have made a statement and I think it is there for everybody to read. Luis has made a brilliant statement and we will stand by him."
Kenny Dalglish's post-match press conference last night.
Lots of things are acceptable in the remote village from which Early Doors hails, but it would dream of inflicting them on the wider world.
And is this really the time for Dalglish to be making sarky comebacks?
GOAL OF THE DAY: If Cristiano Ronaldo had scored Craig Gardner's free-kick for Sunderland last night, we would literally never hear the end of it.
To paraphrase an old sexist: What a hit, son.
FOREIGN VIEW: After revealing that David Beckham will not be joining the club, Paris Saint-Germain are now preparing offers for Brazil internationals Alexandre Pato and Kaka, according to reports in France.
Beckham has chosen not to join the Ligue 1 club on a free transfer due to family reasons and PSG are instead turning their attention to the two South American stars.
AFP says it has been told by sources close to PSG owners Qatar Sports Investments that the club are ready to continue their extensive investment over the past 12 months by spending 61.5 million euros on the two players.
COMING UP: Yes, of course there's Premier League football. Newcastle United v Manchester United and Everton v Bolton Wanderers both at 20:00 UK time.

King Salman of Saudi Arabia has announced a major cabinet reshuffle, a week after he acceded to the throne.
The chief of intelligence and the head of the national security council have both been replaced.
Other top officials, including the ministers of defence, oil, and foreign affairs, have kept their jobs.
The governor of Mecca and the governor of the capital Riyadh were replaced as were several senior religious officials.
King Salman - who was a half-brother of the late King Abdullah - also gave a bonus of two months' salary to all Saudi state employees and military personnel. Pensioners and students received similar bonuses.
The changes were announced in 30 royal decrees.
"Dear people: You deserve more and whatever I do will not be able to give you what you deserve," the king said later on his Twitter account.
He asked citizens to "not forget me in your prayers".
The Saudi Press Agency said King Salman had relieved intelligence chief Prince Khalid bin Bandar bin Abdul Aziz al-Saud of his post.

Dr. Dale has great bedside manners. Unfortunately some of his staff does not. I was told by his insurance/ accountant she would check to see if I was covered and let me know. I asked again the day of the surgery and was told by his assistant I was okay because if not, P---- would have told.."she is good at that stuff". Turns out I owe the entire amount for the procedure and the same person who told me she would "let me know" came back with blazing guns telling me, "being covered is not the same as them paying for it". It was a set up and I fell victim. There is more to this and yes I probably signed that piece of paper where I'm liable, but she offered to get with my insurance and let me know. I have had other offices do that and they always came back letting me know what my portion was. Shame on me, but shame shame on her.

N-Nothing at all.
Nothing doesnt exist remember?
Bite me…
She blushed then turned to her "Monster" playlist and smiled as "Talk Dirty To Me" blared from the phones back speaker. She pushed her phone away and started in on her writing. Losing herself in Zamora and the music. It was about an hour before she stopped for a coffee break she brewed a pot then brought it to her little computer then began to write again, now thoroughly in the zone.
Ryn sighed then pushed her glasses higher up onto her face and began typing, she'd been typing for about four hours before her phone made a rapid buzzing sound making her look at its screen, it was another message or rather three.
Babe, this mornin was fun… I want more of u though.
I wanna fuck my cumslut…

China's Business Reforms: Institutional Challenges in a Globalised Economy (Routledge Contemporary China Series)
China's recent economic reforms have led to impressive growth, and an unprecedented enthusiasm for establishing foreign enterprises in China. Since 1993, China has been the second largest recipient of foreign direct investment in the world and is now considered to be the world's third biggest economy. Its greater economic integration with the rest of the world, especially since its accession to the World Trade Organisation (WTO), has further accelerated its market-oriented economic reforms. China is now opening its protected markets and beginning to submit to the rule of international law. This ongoing transition and increasing participation in the world economy has resulted in significant changes in human resource management and social welfare practices in China's enterprises. The book examines the key areas, all of which are linked, where China is grappling with institutional reforms as it opens up to the outside world: state-owned enterprise reform, capital markets and financial reform, human resources and labour market reform, social welfare reform, and China's accession to the WTO and the growth of the private sector.

|This is a discussion on Short stacking sucks within the online poker forums, in the Cash Games section; I feel the need to make a post addressing short stack play that is overwealming this game. If you are a short stack shove donkey
Short stacking sucks
I feel the need to make a post addressing short stack play that is overwealming this game.
If you are a short stack shove donkey the chances are you suck at the game of poker.
If you feel the need to short stack shove every time u have jj+ or ak go play the hyper sng's
When a rec player decides to deposit some money after reading about position and starting hands etc with an interest towards getting better at this game I strongly believe that they will find themselves disheartened when they realise that they might as well take that money and go play roulette as the only "play" they will see is a short stack call/shove with no intention of getting a grip of the subtle nuances of such an incredibly in depth game.
Next time you want to play and think its a good idea to short stack shove/double up then leave plz kindly **** off and put all your money on red
You are ruining this game
Why wouldn't a short stack put all his chips in if he has or better or Ace King ??
That is the correct play and i am sure you would do the same.
Remember losing is part of the game and it's not all skill this game but you have to not only learn from your mistakes but you also got to move on. Good luck.
So, I have six big blinds and you are saying that I shouldn't shove pocket aces here? Even in a cash game, it is usually the correct play. Or do you just mean the people that just shove their stack in every hand and let luck decide whether they win the pot or not? You can make heaps load of money from them. Just need to find a hand to call their shoves with.
I think you have all missed the point here by a mile.
If you have a short stack then play as such but guys that buy in with the abso minimum then open shove any decent starting hand before doubling up and leaving should quite frankly be ashamed of themselves
Yes, I understand your pain, but that's poker. You're allowed to play however you want and do what you want with your chips. Think on the positives. You get their blinds a lot and when they open shove, all they get is 1.5BB if nobody calls. Give the person shoving TT+ AJ+ and that's only 5% of hands. Include 99 and 88 and A10 and A9s and that's only 8.5% of hands.
And even in your case, give them just JJ+ and AK and that's only 3% of hands. So like one in 33 times, they will shove. It's easy to realise this range, so just call with KK and AA and you've easily dominated their range. And even then, this doesn't work at higher stakes, so I would let it go and when you move up stakes, you shouldn't see them as much.
I think the way you explained it made all of us confused a bit.
re: Poker & Short stacking sucks
I know most of you guys know that it is a short stack strategy(SSS for short) that is very profitable against the bigger stacks who don't adjust to their presence.
However, when there are too many people doing this, it hurts the image of online poker and may discourage recreational players from playing online. They just want to sit down and play, try and have a good time. When they lose they want a chance to get back the money. But no, the short stacker doubles up and leaves the table to find another where he can buy in for minimum again. This sort of hit and run behaviour is not good for the game and people have been complaining about it for a very long time.
I believe PokerStars addressed this by using a 'shared stack' sort of system where if you leave only one table, when you sit at another table, you will have to buyin minimum what you left the previous table with, meaning you cannot just leave and buyin for minimum at another table. I remember reading about it somewhere, not sure if its already implemented.
Bottom line is yes, it is a valid strategy, but it is frowned upon, why don't you go and try it in a live setting. Not only does it paint the game(or poker room) in a negative light, it also potentially cuts of recreational players who feel cheated by this hit and run behaviour. You can argue all you want that its a 'valid strategy' and it can be beaten, and I'm not saying you can't. But I understand where OP is coming from and I believe minimum buyins used to be lower on some poker rooms if I am not wrong so they are definitely trying to address this issue but they don't want to go too overboard with limitations either as it could end up backfiring. Fewer recreational players means less money coming into the poker industry and they definitely don't want that.
It doesn't seem that bad at micros though as generally the people there are either trying to learn(usually 100BB+ play) or just donking off randomly.
Short stackers generally suck at every level. Hit and run SS'ers are the bottom feeders of the poker world.
Playing a Short-stack strategy is also an oxymoron IMO.
In short, if you play short then you are an idiot, a low life scum POS.
I do not include learners who play SS cause they are scared. But everyone else.
Anyone want to guess what I think of players who play short?
So everyone should play the way you want them to so you never have to leave your comfort zone? And anyone who doesn't should be ashamed of themselves?
What kind of attitude is that?
Never mind that a large majority of shortstackers aren't particularly good, and thus represent solid opportunities to make money.
I dont even remotely want everyone to play the way I want them to. I just dont want stupid non profitable players taking space at the tables. They may suck, but stack size hinders money making opportunities. And the shove top 10% (or, 5 or 15 or w/e) or fold also is not a profitable opponent.
Every one has the right to play as they want. I am just using my right to say what I think of them..............
Though I think you went a bit overboard here, I agree short stackers are pretty annoying. I play 1/2 no limit live, and it is amazing how many people sit down with the minimum $50 buy in. What's even more stunning is how often these guys try to play the game as if they have a full stack (cold calling $25 3bets pre and folding post, slow playing hands, etc.).
Playing short stacked may not be completely horrible in some situations, but at 1/2 live where the typical open raise size is $12+, I don't see how anyone could play with $50.
re: Poker & Short stacking sucks
I think we've all known people in our lives that for whatever reason don't want to work. They don't seem to put much effort into anything. This to me is what short stackers are all about.
They don't really want to know this game, and couldn't be bothered to learn it.
Which really is fine. They are playing within the rules. Just like a guy who takes a job but puts no effort into it. He isn't doing anything illegal. But he's not having much of a positive affect on anything or anyone. Not even himself.
This is what the cash game short stacker is to me.
They don't want to think, study, review, or do any work. No effort. They don't want to make post-flop decisions beyond shove or fold. Easy enough for the rest of us to to adjust to. Well maybe not easy.. but the rest of us are used to putting in a little work.
The real kicker here is that their own logic is flawed. If they want to play like a donkey that's fine.. but the short stack doesn't change anything. Why not buy in full? Your QQ is gonna hold up.. or it's not.
Stack size doesn't mean anything. If it's the variance you don't like.. or you don't have a lot of money... then drop down in stakes like everyone else...
It's not poker specific. It's life. Some people are the type of people that are always looking for the short-cut. The con. Anything but real work and effort. I think all of us think that way from time to time and wonder about it. Many of us have even briefly tried short-stacking...
But most of us come to the realization that there is no substitute for time and effort, and putting in the work toward becoming a better version of yourself. Or in this instance, becoming better poker players.
In the end, I accept that short-stackers are going to exist. They aren't going to drop stakes and try to learn the game. They will be lazy and force the rest of us to put the work in and learn how to adjust to them. I can't speak for anyone else, but personally I plan to punish them for that every opportunity I get.
Short stackers exist. They probably always will. But that's all they will ever be to me. Short stackers. Not poker players. Short-stackers.
I just get annoyed. Obviously if it allowed, people can do as they please. And you make good points in the rest of your post as well.
SS do usually suck at poker, but I dont like them at my table even if they suck.
I also get confused when someone loses a hand and only has like $25 in front of him. They'll sit forever, and when he finally loses it he rebuys. What is the point? Why not just top up to a respectable amount so you're not just straight up gambling?
I was going to discuss how playing short stacked actually commits you to a pot where you could otherwise make a good fold and save money, but there is no point. Short stackers aren't good enough players to make good folds even if they had larger stacks.
if you remove any post flop play from this game which is essentially the tactics of short stackers then these recreational players might as well take their money and go play roulette. where they can double up with 50/50 chance.
therefore the whole economy of poker will just destroy itself and all the winning players will just be passing money around with all the other winning players and paying a huge rake for the pleasure.
we NEED recreational players to enjoy this game
re: Poker & Short stacking sucks
[/quote]I just dont want stupid non profitable players taking space at the tables. They may suck, but stack size hinders money making opportunities. [/quote]
This assumes they'd be replaced by equally stupid players with larger stacks. But if we assume decent regs instead, I'll take the lousy short stackers.
It takes less effort to get your stack to match the size of the pot. As a result you are making the correct poker decision to shove.
What short stacking does is limit the number of options that you have, because you don't have the implied odds to do something other than a tight game. Additionally if you are short stacked you are setting yourself up to make the correct decision in poker more regularly.
I don't want to say that I like people short stacking. I think the game is more enjoyable when people have deeper stacks. That being said, you should take time to learn why what they are doing is technically correct. If you can take that information and extrapolate that to deeper stacks you will be a better player.
Your odds and implied odds, and what you should be committed with and why are important. It happens to turn out that short stack players can play tight and always make the right decision.
It just lowers effective stack size, which like you say, alters game play, but I fail to see the advantage. So why not just buy in full?
I mean you make good points, but I don't see the advantage for the short stacker....
Some of this comes down to effective stack sizes, implied odds, and stack to pot ratios.
If you have a premium hand, lets say an AK then you should be ahead of most people at the table. The problem that AK will face on the flop, turn, and river is that they may be giving someone else odds to call when that other person is a dog.
Let say you knew (implied odds) that you are only 25% likely to make your hand and you have to call a 1:3 bet. You need to be 33% likely to improve on your hand to break even. However you know that if you make your hand you can shove for your entire stack and he will call.
Whether that scenario is profitable for the player depends on the size of the stacks in play. If there is barely anything left in the stack of your opponent than it is a bad play. No implied odds. You cannot make enough money on your sub-optimal call to make up for the times you lose.
If that person has a very deep stack then it is insanely profitable to make that same play. It would also be crazy for that person to expect you to call off your entire stack to a shove.
Those are basically the principles that allow a short stack player to play with less variance. They are putting their chips in when their hand is a favorite and they do not have to worry about being in a bad situation later. They can't be bluffed because they have few enough chips that they can really never fold. They are playing a pure equity game. They can never be in a situation where they have to make a hard call because the pot is $.75 and they have .$25 left with top pair top kicker. They just shove and realize they are going to be called by worse hands all too often.
If they buy in full they give other people the opportunity to put them in a hard spot. They also have the opportunity to pay people off when that other guy hits his hand. The bigger your stack size, the harder the game gets.
That may have been a little rambling, and I didn't even really get to SPR - but it makes a difference. Look it up if you don't know what it is and maybe that will help make some sense of what I am saying, since I probably didn't do a very good job on my own.
Sure it has some pros, but it has it's negatives too. You can't get as much fold equity, you can't maximize returns when you make your hand etc. I'm not gonna type a whole bunch here.. but for every pro there is a con. At least the way i see it.
Not to mention, if you double up then you're full stacked anyway and have to alter your game. Unless your always leaving the table whenever you make a few pennies. But that makes no more sense for a short stacker than it does to someone who buys in full.
I can agree though.. some players may find the pros outweigh the cons. But it's still not less variance. It could perhaps feel less significant because it's smaller sums at any given point, but again buying in full at smaller limits would have the same effect.
**** the shorties!
re: Poker & Short stacking sucks
Ok my opinion on this...
There is wrong myth that you can recognise fish if someone play without 100bb...
And than with someone shoves 70bb you say ah he must be holding Qj or something and in the end he shows AA,KK....
if ss shoves with what range you call?
If anyone shoves with what range you call?
Its very easy to dodge it with fold...

I always buyin for 1.6 @ nl...
Sometimes i just flat 5-6 hands so they often get wrong picture,thats for reg tables.
Since i play zoom more than reg tables in zoom i always buyin full
Sent from my HTC Desire X using Tapatalk
The flip side of not maximize your returns is that you also don't maximize your losses.
Also, I think you are correct about the pros and cons. I don't think the pros outweigh the cons. But the exact reason short stacking can work is that it is low variance. If I didn't explain it this time I guess I'm not able to.
As far as I'm concerned, anybody who doesn't play a ss is a PoS that doesn't deserve to play the game of poker. I hate full stackers with a passion! Oh wait, no I don't...I let them b uy in for whatever they want and don't complain about it. Short stacking is a good way to protect your bank roll if you are running low. Deal with it. I can't believe how judgemental and generally dickish some of you are.
re: Poker & Short stacking sucks
I am dumbfounded at those who think most people playing micro stakes online should be practicing proper bankroll management. The VAST VAST VAST majority of those you see playing online are not grinding away to make a negligible amount in order to slowly move up the ranks... nor should they. They are playing for entertainment.
As for the OP... personally I believe the best lesson a new recreational player can learn after reading all of their books is that people don't play by the book.

Life Saving Drugs That Cost Your Life Savings
Broadcast: 01/06/2007
Reporter: Nicole Ely
IAN HENSCHKE: It's hard to believe some Australians in this day and age are spending more than half their annual income buying the drugs they need to stay healthy.
A group of chronic Crohn's disease sufferers argue the Federal Government is keeping them ill, by not putting a vital drug on the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme.
But the Government is blaming the drug company, saying its responible for the delay.
SARAH HIRD: The Government's sort of dancing around and not sure what they want to do and they can't make a decision.
KIM PRATT: I said to David a few times you'll have to check me in the morning. because I seriously didn't think I would make it through the night.
NICOLE ELY: For the past 14 years Mount Gambier woman Kim Pratt has battled Crohn's disease.
It strikes about one in two thousand people, and usually before they turn 30.
GRAEME YOUNG: Crohn's disease is an inflammatory disease that affects the lining of the intestine, mainly the small intestine, and at other times it affects the lining of the large bowel - and when it affects the lining of the large bowel it affects the absorption of water and that causes major problems with diarrhoea.
NICOLE ELY: These days Kim Pratt runs a motel with her husband David because it's a flexible job.
The constant pain of Crohn's disease forced her to give up her beloved nursing career years ago.
It's just one of many dreams she's had to sacrifice for the sake of her health.
KIM PRATT: We were only able to have the one child, Jessie. We would have liked more children but that's just not something that can happen with the medication that I'm on.
NICOLE ELY: The cocktail of expensive drugs that she's on may be stopping her from having more children, but it's also keeping her away from the surgeon's knife.
KIM PRATT: There is only so much you can chop out. And at 34 I believe it's too early to start chopping when there's other things out there that can prevent me from having to have surgery.
SARAH HIRD: It would sort of be a case of having to remove my whole bowel and having a colostomy bag and things like that which is not really an option.
NICOLE ELY: Like Kim Pratt, Adelaide school teacher Sarah Hird will do anything to avoid the operating table.
Both women fall into the group of up to one in 10 of chronic Crohn's sufferers who can't be helped by the usual, cheaper medications.
SARAH HIRD: I was taking about 15 different tablets a day of about four to five different medications and one of those was a steroid which I was on a really high dosage of for three or four months, which is not really good for you.
NICOLE ELY: For the small group of chronic sufferers, there's only one thing that seems to make a difference.
It's a drug made from a compound known as Infliximab and it blocks the excess proteins that usually attack the bowel of a Crohn's sufferer.
SARAH HIRD: In 24 hours I'm a different person. I feel heaps better and I can eat a normal amount and start to live a normal life again.
KIM PRATT: Without the drug constant aches and pains in my joints where I can barely walk. I'm cold all the time. My bones ache, I get ulcers in my mouth. I've had Crohn's disease also in my oesophagus for a short time which makes it very difficult to eat.
NICOLE ELY: But every six weeks Kim needs to fly to Melbourne to get a dose of the drug. Each time she does that it costs her $3600 plus incidentals.
KIM PRATT: It's all those other things - the flights down there, doctors appointments ģ
DAVID PRATT: I would say looking at around $45,000 a year.
NICOLE ELY: Kim Pratt says she's one of the lucky ones who can afford the drug - she says that's only because her family runs a profitable motel business.
The drug isn't not on the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme, and she says there are plenty of others who are much worse off than she is.
KIM PRATT: Double mortgages, sell things. but eventually that money runs out. And they're just back to square one. All that money they've spent on the drug to stay well for maybe 12 months - it's all gone.
NICOLE ELY: And that's the position Sarah Hird finds herself in - barely able to afford it now - and definitely not in the long term.
SARAH HIRD: It takes a fair chunk out of my annual income, that's for sure. And it means my parents have to keep working at the level that they are and not able to enjoy their later life like they want to.
NICOLE ELY: Private health insurers are willing to pay for the removal of Sarah Hird's bowel, but not the expensive drug preventing that.
Doctors and Crohn's patients have spent seven years campaigning for the drug to be put on the PBS.
SARAH HIRD: I don't understand why it's a questionable thing. I think it should just be a given that it goes on the PBS for all of these young people who would otherwise be healthy.
NICOLE ELY: Just weeks ago a 25,000 signature petition was handed to the Federal Health Minister's office to further the case.
The PBS Advisory Committee also recently recommended the drug for the PBS ģ that usually means a drug is rubber stamped by the Government, but in an election year Crohn's sufferers fear their cause will slide off the agenda before voters go to the polls in a few months.
TONY ABBOTT: We are happy to go forward with this PBAC recommendation. For some reason the company won't. The company is denying this drug to people with Crohn's disease.
NICOLE ELY: But in a statement the drug companys says this is its seventh attempt to get the drug on the PBS.
It says "the Pharmaceutical Benefits Advisory Committee's recommendation is too restrictive and would deny a majority of patients continued treatment ... because of the harsh criteria required."
SARAH HIRD: There's got to be something that the Government can do for us. It has to be done.
KIM PRATT: It'd be incredible. $600 a week.
I guess the financial strain will not be there so it'll free us up a lot more. I think we could probably use that towards Jessie's future and yeah just free us up, spend a bit of time away and have some holidays and get our lives back virtually.

JACKSON — The state of Mississippi's lawsuit against the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) will be withdrawn pending the Federal Emergency Management Agency's (FEMA) implementation of a new law passed by Congress "intended to alleviate some of the draconian rate increases facing Mississippi homeowners," Commissioner of Insurance Mike Chaney said.
Chaney and the Mississippi Insurance Department filed suit Sept. 26, 2013, and were supported by several other states and entities, including Alabama, Louisiana, Florida, South Carolina and Massachusetts. Partially in response to the Mississippi suit and a rising number of other complaints, Congress changed the law recently.
Lawyers for the Mississippi Insurance Department filed papers Monday, which caused the lawsuit to be dismissed "without prejudice," meaning it can be re-filed at any time should the provisions of the new law or the manner in which FEMA implements it is deemed unsatisfactory. Meanwhile, MID lawyers will monitor FEMAs' implementation of the Homeowner Flood Insurance Affordability Act of 2014, passed as H.R. 3370, to ensure the new law does what is necessary to ease the financial burden on homeowners.
In 2012 Congress passed the Biggert-Waters Flood Insurance Reform Act seeking to address some of the shortfalls in the NFIP. However, the law drastically changed the way premiums were calculated, resulting in premium increases in some cases costing thousands of dollars and making the insurance unaffordable for many Mississippians.
"I am very happy that Congress has acted to protect homeowners," Chaney said. "However, we will have to watch FEMA's implementation of it to be sure it actually fixes the problem. If it does – fine. If it doesn't, we are free to re-file the lawsuit."

By Edna Gundersen, USA TODAY
Cher beat the odds at every turn in her 44-year career, so it's no surprise she's betting on an artistic rebirth in Las Vegas.
The indestructible diva, who retired from touring in 2005, will star in a song-and-dance spectacle starting May 6 at the 4,100-seat Colosseum in Caesars Palace. She'll perform four shows weekly for one month, then return mid-August through early October, leapfrogging stints with Bette Midler. Her pact with promoter AEG Live extends three years.
Cher, 61, promises a "visually unbelievable" hit parade that entails elaborate choreography, complex staging, eye-popping costumes, 14 dancers and four aerialists.
"Creatively, we're doing something that's never been done with sets," she says. "Getting the whole thing in book form, in pictures, has taken months. Our set moves down from the ceiling, in from the sides, up from the floor. We have screens in the foreground, the center and the back. We can change a city into a forest in two seconds. You'll see a different stage for every song."
The music will access all chapters of Cher's career, from her Sonny & Cher start to her recent dance-pop phase, and she's plotting updates of both old and new hits.
Cher's extravagant 2002-05 Farewell Tour rang up $192.5 million from 273 shows, the ninth-highest-grossing tour in history, according to Billboard Boxscore.
"Cher definitely achieved elite status as a live performer on her Farewell Tour, which was a remarkable endurance test and a hugely popular draw," says Billboard touring editor Ray Waddell. "With her elaborate costumes, long list of hits and over-the-top presentation, I can't think of another artist more suited to Vegas. A Cher concert is just a really good time."
Cher insists her Vegas splash won't recycle Farewell's motifs: "I'd like to be challenged."
She hasn't seen Colosseum concerts by previous residents Celine Dion or Elton John, nor the venue itself ("I saw a picture of it"). She's furiously working out to gear up for rehearsals, and she likes the idea of bouncing between her home in Malibu and a steady gig in Vegas.
But don't look for her at the craps tables: "Let me have a pair of shoes for my money."
