Monetary Policy and Exchange Rates: A Balanced Two-Country Cointegrated VAR Model Approach
We study the exchange rate effects of monetary policy in a balanced macroeconometric two-country model for the US and UK. In contrast to the empirical literature on the 'delayed overshooting puzzle', which consistently treats the domestic and foreign countries unequally in themodelling process, we consider the full model feedback, allowing for a thorough analysis of the system dynamics. The consequential inevitable problem of model dimensionality is tackled in this paper by invoking the approach by Aoki (1981) commonly used in economic theory. Assuming country symmetry in the long-run allows to decouple the two-country macro dynamics of country averages and country differences such that the cointegration analysis can be applied to much smaller systems. Secondly the econometric modelling is general-to-specific, a graph-theoretic approach for the contemporaneous effects combined with an automatic general-to-specific model selection. The resulting parsimonious structural vector equilibrium correction model ensures highly significant impulse responses, revealing a delayed overshooting of the exchange rate in the case of a Bank of England monetary shock but suggests an instantaneous response to a Fed shock. Altogether the response is more pronounced in the former case.

I have noticed in recent years a barrage of authentic "end time" occurrences that bear great significance. These events have been admixed with others, many of them astronomical, which we all presumed were significant, but which played out as serious false alarms. The comet Ison comes to mind as well as the hysterical build up to the date December 21st 2012. Since those irrational days, I have been much more circumspect about posting "signs" or "harbingers'. But the birth of the last red heifer, if it turns out to be the authentic event, would indeed be a harbinger of a terrible portal into the advent of the final Son of Perdition, whom many of the Jewish faith would be fooled by, who would take as their long awaited "Messiah". He would, in fact, be the final imposter of the Christ returned, sending the world into a spiral of war hell and death, the likes of which has never been seen before. Watch for the rebuilding of the third temple in Jerusalem. Watch for the political and civic events which surround that. Watch mergers within Isis. And watch who and what comes forth from Turkey and Afghanistan in the next 3-5 years.
I don't blog too much anymore. I fail to see the point, as the 'good will be good' and 'the evil will be evil' – right up until the very end. I live quietly, in retreat, and remain as far away from most of human society as I can. But I am praying for this world non-stop. I am praying for America and her people continuously. And I am praying for the people of Israel. Is this THE red heifer? I don't know. But I am watching and praying. I live for the return of my King. And I will know the difference. He cannot appear until the 'other' has played his hand. Please pray for discernment to know the difference.
Cited from http://www.nowtheendbegins.com/blog/?p=22780
"The 9th chapter of the book of Daniel tells us that the Temple is indeed standing during the time of Jacob's trouble as found in Jeremiah 30:7. Daniel learned much from the writings of the prophet Jeremiah. But Daniel goes on to say that when the Temple is rebuilt, it will be inhabited by the Antichrist – the false messiah. Daniel devotes multiple chapters to this man of sin that will arise and deceive the Jews by flatteries.
'And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.' Daniel 9:27
The appearance of a perfect red heifer has sent shock waves amongst the Temple faithful in Israel, for they believe it will usher in the Messiah. But it will not. It will usher in a time of agony, bloodshed and woe the likes of which this world has never seen. It will start with a false messiah in a rebuilt Third Temple, and it will end with the time of Jacob's trouble leading into the Day of the Lord from Joel chapters 2 and 3.
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem."

Voice Gateway(3845 & 3925)
I currently have Voice Gateway 3845 running MGCP in my environment and planning on replacing it with 3925. We also have Call Manager 7.1xxx in a cluster environment.
My action plan is as follow:
Register the New 3925 VG in call Manager in parallel to my 3845 VG then do the cutover at a later date once the new gateway is configure the way I wanted it.
Will my action plan break PSTN calls soon as I add the new 3925? Or any suggest will be greatly appreciated.
I belive it is supported with 7.1, you just need to get the correct version.
And yes, you can have multiple GWs, simply replace the GW in the Route Group(s) on the cutover night.
You can configure your 3925 in IOS.
Add it to CUCM as a gateway.
Work on this till you are happy.
The day you want to changeover
add the new gateway to the same route group
as your 3845 and physically move
your telco lines.
Remove the 3845 from the route group
Test incoming anf outgoing
If you need to revert
add the old gateway back to
route group, move telco lines back.
Remove new router from route group.
Test and resolve issues.
Please rate useful posts.

I don't know how it happened, but I had turned off SMS preview for a few months. So today I decided to re-activate it in settings, and I've received a few messages since then but no preview!
It was working before and I checked and double-checked the settings and it's setup alright but no preview.
I'm using a jailbroken iPhone 4 32GB on iOS 4.3.3.
UPDATE: With someone's help, I was able to figure out that iBlacklist was keeping it from showing by keeping SMS private.
Problem solved.

To the right of citta Vecchia, an indifferent road of three or four miles leads to some gardens.
Born at citta della Pieve, near Perugia, and died at the latter place.
There was the old city of citta Vecchia, with its ruined aqueduct.
The suburb was called citta Nova, and the dividing wall was subsequently demolished.
Such were the somewhat incongruous thoughts which passed through my mind in the catacombs of citta Vecchia.
citta Notabile and Gozo were inland, and their fate would depend upon that of the defenses of the harbor.

Work will continue on such major transportation projects as the Second Avenue subway and the East Side Access under an agreement involving Gov. Andrew Cuomo and the state Legislature.
The accord would provide $13.1 billion and make possible the purchase of new subway and commuter train cars along with elevators and escalators and subway station repairs and improvements for the last three years of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority's 2010-14 construction projects.
The agreed-on money will relieve a shortage in the MTA's $22 billion Capital Program.
Construction projects resulting from the money infusion are expected to create more than 100,000 jobs, officials said.
The MTA hailed the Albany agreement.
"The MTA is grateful for Gov. Cuomo's leadership and commitment in recognizing the critical importance of funding mass transit and in particular fully funding our current Capital Program," the agency said. "The MTA Capital Program not only provides for continued investment in our network, but also creates tens of thousands of jobs and generates economic activity across the entire state.
"With this funding, the MTA will continue to enhance our riders' experience by investing in the future of our transportation network, as well as bringing our assets up to a state of good repair."

March is supposed to come in like a lion and go out like lamb. Not this year! Today dawned cold and/or snowy, and wintry conditions are predicted at least through early next week. Here, the exposed roof joists of a dilapidated barn near Senecaville are outlined in white from recent snowfall. It's a pretty picture, but one from which most folks have grown tired.

I'm afraid of needles.
I'm tired of rubber sheets and tubes.
I'm tired of faces that I don't know
and now I think that death is starting.
Death starts like a dream,
full of objects and my sister's laughter.
We are young and we are walking
and picking wild blueberries.
all the way to Damariscotta.
Oh Susan, she cried.
you've stained your new waist.
Sweet taste --
my mouth so full
and the sweet blue running out
all the way to Damariscotta.
What are you doing? Leave me alone!
Can't you see I'm dreaming?
In a dream you are never eighty.

Disgraced former West Australian premier-turned lobbyist
The alleged comments – attributed to Mr Burke – formed part of the prosecution's opening address in allegations Mr Burke and business partner Julian Grill tried to sneak changes into a government policy determining pearl oyster catch levels to benefit a client.
The accused will defend all charges, including the most serious allegation of corruption. The former Labor politicians were joined in the dock by former Labor staffer Nathan Hondros, who also pleaded not guilty to charges that included disclosing official secrets.
The charges stem from a Corruption and Crime Commission investigation into dealings between the lobbyists, on behalf of pearl industry client Kel Brown of Nor-West Proprietary Ltd and Mr Hondros, who was the chief of staff to the state's fisheries minister.
The commission had installed listening devices at their homes and was monitoring mobile and email correspondence.
Senior prosecutor Bruno Fiannaca used comments caught in the surveillance to allege that the accused "hatched a plan" to change the catch policy in 2006.
This was to be done by making small changes to the proposed government policy and slipping the changes through cabinet without the knowledge of then fisheries minister
Mr Fiannaca said that the lobbyists "procured or counselled Mr Hondros to act corruptly" and played on his political aspirations by talk of including him in a "dream team" to run at the next election.
"He wanted to be a political office holder," Mr Fiannaca said. "He was seeking preselection."
Mr Burke's lawyer, Grant Donaldson, said the lobbyists were openly putting forward the interests of small players in the pearl hatchery industry and that they had been directed to liaise with Mr Hondros by Mr Ford.
"There's no subterfuge in this as the Crown might be contending," Mr Donaldson said. "Mr Hondros was not a plant in the minister's office."
Mr Donaldson said the policy document in question had been distributed widely.
"It was everywhere," Mr Hondros said. "There was nothing confidential about that document."
The lobbyists were seeking to put forward an alternative view to the one supported by the country's dominant pearling company Paspaley, Mr Donaldson said.
The matter is listed for three weeks.

SPORTS >> Cabot juniors rally to stay alive
Leader sports editor
The Cabot Centennial Bank junior team has lived to see another day, thanks to its second dramatic comeback in three days.
Down to its last out and facing a season-ending loss in the junior zone tournament at Burns Park on Monday night, Cabot scored four runs with two outs to beat Maumelle 6-5 and stay alive for a state tournament berth.
Cabot (11-14-2) played the loser of the North Little Rock-Sylvan Hills Optimist Club game late last night in another elimination game.
On Saturday, Cabots offense overcame 12 strikeouts through the first 4 1/3 innings to rally for an extra-innings win over Conway NBMC.
But Cabot was flat as could be in an 8-1 loss to North Little Rock earlier in the day on Monday, sending them to the elimination game with Maumelle.
Trailing 5-2 heading into its final at bat, Centennial Bank once again found a way. Josh Graham walked leading off the inning and, one out later, Bryson Morris reached on an error. Both runners advanced on Justin Goffs ground out, but Cabot was down to its final out.
T.C. Carter kept Cabots hopes alive with a single to make it 5-3 and Tyler Cole tied the game when he ripped a 3-1 pitch into the gap in right for a triple. He came across with the game-winner on a wild pitch.
Jeff Brown got the win in relief, allowing just one earned run over three innings.
Earlier on Monday, Cabot wasted some early opportunities before falling in a 7-0 hole on its way to an 8-1 loss to North Little Rock. Centennial Bank got a leadoff single by Zach Uhiren, but he was thrown out at second trying to stretch it into a double.
Goff also got a base hit in the inning but was stranded.
Cabot starter Chad Wisely, who pitched a 1-2-3 inning in the first, gave up a walk and two singles to start the second and the Colts eventually parlayed that into a 3-0 lead. The Colts sent 10 to the plate in the third and scored four more times.
Cabot got its lone run in the sixth on Bryson Morris single and Carters run-scoring double. Carter had two of Cabots seven hits both doubles.
Before Cabot could think about winning the game it had to figure out how to score a run and before it could think about that, it had to find a way just to put a bat on the ball.
Cabot, whose first 13 batters on Saturday struck out 12 times, somehow managed to do all those things in the first round of the junior American Legion zone tournament at Burns Park, storming back for a dramatic extra-innings victory over tourney two-seed Conway NBMC. The big blow was Jacob Lucketts three-run blast in the seventh inning that turned a 2-1 deficit into a 4-2 lead.
It still took Cabot extra innings to finally secure the win after Conway rallied for a pair of runs in the bottom of the seventh to tie it. Centennial Bank won it when Luckett drew a bases-loaded walk with two outs in the eighth to force in Justin Goff.
But a game which featured almost no drama through the first six innings had nothing but in the final two, and Conway put the tying run on when the leadoff man reached on an error in the eighth.
The next batter, attempting to bunt the runner over, stepped on the plate and was called out and Tyler Cole hauled in a soft liner at second to record the second out and bring Cabot within an out of the win.
It took Zach Uhiren retreating deep into center field to haul in a long liner before Cabot could celebrate its opening-round win. Relief pitcher James McCraine gave Centennial Bank a chance when he entered with a 2-0 deficit in the fourth inning. He allowed only four hits and one earned run, while striking out six and walking none over the final five innings to collect the victory.
Starter Bryson Morris was no slouch on Saturday, allowing only two hits and one earned run over three innings. But he walked four, which directly led to both early Conway runs.
Meanwhile, Conway hurler Wade Beck was almost literally unhittable. It would have been literally true except for Daniel Foxs weak grounder back to the mound in the second. That was the only ball Cabot put in play over the first 4 1/3 innings. Beck set down the first 13 Cabot batters, striking out 12 of them.
T.C. Carter finally broke through, ripping a 2-2 pitch into the left field gap for a one-out double in the fifth. A wild pitch and a throwing error got Carter home to make it 2-1.
Though Beck retired the next two batters on pop ups, he was no longer dominant after that. Cabot put the tying and go-ahead runs in scoring position on a hit batter, Uhirens infield single and a wild pitch. But they left them stranded and entered the seventh inning still down 2-1.
Beck hit Nathan Cash to start things off. One out later, Fox lined a single to center before Luckett rocketed a 2-1 pitch over the fence in left for a three-run homer and a 4-2 Centennial Bank lead.
McCraine had given up just one hit through three innings, but Conway got to him for a pair of singles to start the seventh. With one out, Beck sent a potential game-ending double-play grounder to short but the ball got through for Cabots fourth error of the game it committed five overall and one run came in to make it 4-3. Tyler Spanglers single tied it, but Uhiren threw out Beck trying to get to third on the play and McCraine got a pop out to send the game into extra innings.
Cole singled to open the eighth, Goff walked and Cash was hit in the head with a pitch to load the bases with no outs. But a strikeout and a force at the plate left the bases loaded, now with two outs. Luckett, though, battled for a walk to force in what proved the winning run.
Conway out-hit Cabot 6-5. Beck finished with 14 strikeouts before being relieved to start the eighth inning.

LOS ANGELES -- City officials today celebrated the completion of a project to replace thousands of street-light bulbs with LEDs in an effort to brighten city streets while slashing carbon emissions by 47,583 metric tons.
"When you talk about energy conservation, this has been part of a number of game-changing initiatives the city has been involved in during the last eight years," Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa said while announcing the conversion of 141,089 street lights to light emitting diodes.
The emission reductions equate to taking 9,500 cars off the road, while street light energy use has been cut by 63 percent, according to the city. Villaraigosa said the project has contributed to Los Angeles leading the nation in emissions-reduction, and placing fifth in the world.
"Our urban areas only take up 2 percent of the world's surface, but our carbon footprint is super-sized," he said. "In fact, cities use more than two-thirds of the energy to put out more than 70 percent of the world's carbon emissions."
The four-year-long, $57 million change-over has already resulted in $7 million in electricity bill savings, and is anticipated to save $10 million a year in energy and maintenance expenses, according to the city, which borrowed money from the Department of Water and Power to finance the project and will repay it through electricity bill savings.
Villaraigosa called the streetlight conversion a "gargantuan task," and he quipped that crews in the Bureau of Street Lighting were urged to complete the project a year early, before he leaves office June 30.
With the street light installations done, incoming Mayor Eric Garcetti will oversee the conversion of 60,000 to 70,000 decorative fixtures, according to Ed Ebrahimian, director of the street lighting bureau.
The brighter lights have also made city streets safer, Ebrahimian said.
"We've made our city safer and more pedestrian friendly at night," he said. "Angelenos have been impressed the new white light."
More commonly seen in digital clock displays and jumbo television screens, LEDs are gaining favor in major cities around the world as a street lighting option, including Guangzhou, China, which recently converted 100,000 lights.

Generally, the configure program looks after the common C library
compatibility issues, but a certain minimal UNIX compatibility is still
assumed. Certainly, without functions like accept, listen, bind, close
and connect, you're going to have a very hard time getting any UNIX-based
TCP/IP software to port to MacOS X. I guess you're going to need read
and write as well. I wasn't thinking that far when I gave my previous
answer! Maybe the libraries are there, but not where configure or the
Makefiles expect to find them. You may need to add library options to
Makefile.config so that ld looks through all the libraries it need to,
e.g. if there's a separate UNIX compatibility library. If it's not there,
you'll need to find out where such a library is available, install it,
then add the appropriate options in Makefile.config.

The hotel was in a good position which enabled us to move around easily. Hotel staff were polite and efficient. Hotel offered 5 star quality and service,
fine hotel with fair price -
Everythig was absolutely perfect!!!!!!!
Location of the hotel. Room Front desk staff not freindly though!! Charge eight euro for room service whatever the order is!
Conceive is well trained & good -Hotel charges for hot water €7/-!! in room for taking my medicine/ Quality of food for Breakfast not of high grade - similar to canteen
When we were checking-out the money for our staying the hotel took twice from my credit card.
Location ... close to San Marco Square Service was poor. Room facing is poor.
Location, location, location. Felt small & discreet. I cannot fault it. (I did not have any meals there, however).
Great location, short walking distance from San Marco and nice shops and restaurants. Very close to the waterbus. Very elegant, clean and breakfast was excellent. I will come back. Everything was great
Excellent staff help, great position on St Marco, and very near excellent shopping.lso water taxis available right on the doorstep Because of the atreet , the rooms on the canal can be quite noisy.
everything no
The staff was very rude. Not the standard for a 5 star hotel.
The location was wonderful! The attitude of some of the staff was snooty and the check in and check out process took forever. We were getting off a cruise coming in and there were many people arriving at the the same time but leaving I was left standing for 10 minutes while the clerk fiddled on her computer and noone else was around. To be fair it was the same woman. The conciere also had staff that was either extremely helpful or curt and unresponsive to inquires. The staff was either very pleasant or very disdainful.
Westin Europa & Regina is a wonderful place right on the canal with an amazing staff and facilities Nothing
This hotel was really very great, exactly as you see in the photos and can boast about it's location and all of its qualities. Overall i could only find very minimal points to be picky about which are: 1. the hotel is quite tricky to find (as with a lot of places in Venice), you would think directions would therefore be highlighted/mentioned on their website or when you are sent your booking details. 2. Half of the the breakfast staff were useless and not concerned with helping at all (the other half were completely the opposite and couldn't do enough to help and make it as peasant as possible). 3. The hotel decor and furnishings were probably very finely done at one stage, but things are starting tyo tire and wall trimmings etc starting to peel away, scratches and bumps in too many places.
The location was excellent and staff was very helpful and supportive. The hotel is well maintained and charming. The room was well serviced. The hotel met all our expectations--beautiful premises in a charming part of Venice, well connected to visit near and somewhat distant sites of interest to tourists. Yes, the wall was water stained. I informed the manager by a note and received no confirmation or follow up.
Friendly, great service,comfortable room Difficult to find hotel
Spacious Room, Ease of access to St Marco Square and bottle of champagne was given for our special stay. Booked a deluxe double room but was given a room on first floor facing another building which is under total renovation, noise starts from 8:00AM, can't sleep well and there is no view from this room, not even city view. Ask for ice buckets at 11:30PM, No one picks the call in Service Express.
the whole experience,the terrace off our room was perfect the cost of the cheese and ham toasties at 4:00 am !!
The Hotel has excellent location and very good service There are multiple type of 'Canal view' rooms that may not always fit the description.
The hotel staff were cold and rude. The room service was very poor.
The dependent at the lobby was rude. The room they gave was not ready, there was an empty champaigne bottle with the corresponding dirty glasses. To make matters worse, it was time consuming to resolve. The room we ended up with had two full size beds together, with separate linen for each, instead of a king/queen size bed. The waiters at the bar and common areas were rude. My husband and I were celebrating our anniversary. In 30 years this is the most we ever paid for accommodations AND the worst service we've received.
Very luxurious. Staff wonderful. Central Location on the canal with superb views and private water taxi station right in front. Room service excellent! The Westin sets the bar very high! TV channel selection poor.
The hotel is beautiful like a palace. Location is excellent. They give you the feeling that your money is the most important thing for them. The ask you to sign several forms, preauthorize you credit card, and, it's a shame, lock your minibar during the last night of your stay!
Well appointed. Classic beauty with modern convenience. The heat control!
Excellent location - 3 minutes to San Marco, good services, spa facilities in other location (boat transportation to spa), expensive services (wireless internet - 20 Euro, restaurant dinner for two - 250 Euro)
If you like the boutique looks with no essence; then you will not mind this hotel. Nothing really works and the staff don't know how to fix it. ,If you like the looks and
Location and personal attention
Very easy walking distance to everything. Breakfast was included in our stay. Champagne was served on Sunday. Great variety of foods to select from and coffee was amazing. The view of the Grand Canal cannot be any better. Hotel room key and safe were old world.
Location is very good. It is a expensive hotel, the service was not very nice with the exception of concierge, that they did a great gob. The shower was leaking water so every time you use it, there was water all over the restroom, the hair dryer did not work, Just details that you take for granted at that price range hotels.
When making our plan to visit Venice we did not know that the place is an island. The sight of water scared us at first on arrival .It became fun and visit to wonderland. The hotel met our expectation as big and reputable shops are within easy reach. we enjoyed our breakfast which provided good scenery of Venice. Nothing
Profesionalism and kindness of staff.Location on Canal Grande 2 minutes walking distance from Canal Grande;
I stayed at the Casanova Suites which adjacent to the Bauers and for a family of four was great!! The location is just the greatest. The rooms were huge and they offered everything including 2 bathrooms!!! If you are traveling with young adults and spending time in Venice, this place is it. It was not cheap and it shouldnt be but well worth it!! Your on the main canal and yds from St Marks square. I will recomend it to my friends. Needed more TV sets in the bedrooms.
Luxury hotel Location in the heart of Service Modern ambience Great breakfast Service was 5 star They helped us book museum tickets, dinner reservations etc Concierge Raphaela was just amazing No negatives.
Location Internet and telephone net were very weak Casanova side was not good to stay
Very friendly and professional initial welcome. Helpful advice from concierge
Lækkert hotel, med optimal placering, godt værelse, morgenmad lidt kedelig, men alt i alt ok
Hotellets indretning og beliggenhed samt det at opholde sig i ophodsstue med udsigt til kanalen lige uden for vinduerne.
Beliggenhed særdeles god.Hotelpersonalet imødekommende og venligt. Morgenmaden af middel kvalitet og lever ikke op til hotelprisen.
Beliggenheden var perfekt - dejligt værelse hvor tingene fungerede. Fin rengøring - op til gange om dagen.
God beliggenhed mellem Rialto og St.Markus pladsen. Nem at finde og ligger lige ved to små kanaler. Top service, især blev håndklæderne skiftet dagligt. Intet at klage over!!
Meget central beliggenhed. Rigtig god morgenmadsbuffet. Meget venligt, smilende og serviceminded personale, der dog ikke i alle tilfælde talte og forstod engelsk så godt. Forholdsvis små værelser med meget forskellige udsigter (brandtrappe, baggård vs. hovedstrøg og kanal). Nogen støj fra kanalen med megen bådtraffik, men også meget charmerende med mange gondoler. Generelt god oplevelse. Air condition som kan indstilles. Flere TV kanaler som ikke er synkroniseret til italiensk.
fremragende belilggenhed. et plus med egen anløbsbro. Vi havde to værelser en souite, hvilket var et stort plus. Receptionen talte godt engelsk og var hjælpsom
Vældig god service i receptionen. God morgenmad. Perfekt beliggenhed. Hyggeligt.
rigtig god morgenmad, service og skøn udsigt fra værelset. nej.
Personalet var meget venlige og imødekommende og morgenbuffeten var lækker og der manglede ikke noget.
The location was excellent, the view from our room was Grand. The cafe setting in front was not occupied by guests or customers enough, empty when other places had more customers, not sure how hotel could remedy it. Also the key to the room while impressive would have made us a target if we had dropped it somewhere, perhaps changing to a bar coded card would be better served to guests.
excellent service, excellent location none
ALL of the staff were excellent in their attitude, courtesy and commitment - absolutely first class. The food was outstanding - the best hotel food we have tasted in years. No
We had a deluxe room overlooking the lagoon - wonderful position, beautiful large room, charming staff. Our second visit and we'll be back.
Staff was uniformly professional. Perhaps a bit more warmth. Professionalism tends to leave relationships a bit rigid.
this hotel was 5 minutes walk from St Mark,s square and the view from the balcony was stunning.
Very good locatiion and fantastic view ! Neatly decorated room and nice breakfast room with canal view. Quick service.
Much better hotel than any other 4 star hotels I stayed at Venice before
Alt var toppen - hvorfor er det ikke 5 stjernet ? Jeg har boet på en del 5 stjernet der ikke er så gode som dette.
Lækkert Hotel i centrum af Venedig, gå afstand til alle byens seværdigheder. Dejlige værelser og varieret morgenmad med frisk brød hverdag. Nyt spa, sauna og træningscenter i toppen perfekt at starte eller slutte en dag på sightseen med. Bedre aftaler med serværdigheder feks. gondoler eller taxi service, det bæger præg af aftalte meget høje priser
Super beliggenhed. Moderne indrettet. Fleksibel med ud-checkningstidspunkt Room-service bør kunne fås indtil senere på aftenen. Morgenmad på værelset kostede for meget ekstra.
Meals on the balcony overlooking the Grand Canal and the location. No
Location & staff. The staff is excellent and very friendly. Cost.
Great location, attentive staff and service was great. The bar menu on the terrace could have offered some more choice and was a little expensive but the views were amazing. Would have been nice to have some wine in the mini bar and maybe some spirits available.
Understated luxury
The position of the hotel is right in the centre and it takes nearly 3 minutes to st.Marks sqr. And also the private transfer from the airport was so comfortable.
location location location the hotel staff - do like they care but they really don't!
Excellent service and hotel location. Constantly felt a part of Venice
The rooms were just like Venice itself - fairytale like. Our daughter aged 8 felt like a princess. Our room overlooked a rather ugly covered inner courtyard.
Wonderful settings, excellent location, a beautiful building. Enjoyed the delicious "Corto Maltese" cocktail at the fabulous bar. The cost of the breakfast buffet at 110 euro per person a bit high to digest !
det lokale islæt og den gode service fra personalet. den rigtig centrale beliggenhed lige ved siden af san Marco uden totalt kaos fra andre turister
Godt hotel midt i centrum. Stille og roligt. Ok morgenmadsbuffet. Venligt og hjælpsomt personale.
Lille nem gåtur fra vandsporvognen. God og venlig modtagelse. Fin morgenmadsbuffet med dejlig kanaludsigt. Alt meget tilfredsstillende især til den gode rabatpris vi fik. Gratis internet station. Som overalt i Norditalien savnede vi rullebaner til kufferter på trapper dertil.
God central beliggenhed. På forespørgsel fik vi omgående leveret et tæppe. God sæbe på badeværelset. Priserne i baren var urimeligt høje.
den gode beliggenhed - behagelig og uhøjtidelig betjening
Dejligt beliggende hotel med udsigt til gondolerne i Bacino Orseolo og tæt ved Markuspladsen internetopkobling fungerede ikke

A TEENAGER has died after she was hit by a car that mounted the pavement.
The 17-year-old, named locally as Charlotte Blackburn, was walking in Main Road, Harwich, near the junction with Gwynne Road at about 1am yesterday when the silver car left the road.
Charlotte, from the Little Oakley, suffered serious injuries and was taken to Colchester General Hospital where she was pronounced dead.
An 18-year-old man, also a pedestrian and from the area, was believed to have been struck by the vehicle.
He suffered minor injuries but did not require hospital treatment.
* Two 20-year-old men from the Harwich area have been arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving and are in police custody.
Anyone who witnessed the crash or has any information should call Stanway road policing unit on 01206 762512.

The formation of Arthur Penn's cinema in tandem with the formation of the psyche of Billy the Kid (Paul Newman), who's advised to "put away childish things." The wanderer enters the screen lugging a saddle like Randolph Scott in a Boetticher adventure, though Billy's silence is not laconicism but the blockiness of the Penn outsider, fumbling for identity. The herdsman who helps him (Colin Keith-Johnston), the first of the director's elusive father-figures, speaks of life "through a glass darkly" and is promptly killed, leaving the image to reverberate in the protagonist's skull -- John Dehner as Pat Garrett is introduced with his nose pressed to the saloon door, bathwater makes a foggy canvas out of a windowpane, Billy sketches a revenge plan on it and Penn's slow dissolve takes you to the action. In a story of births, there must be deaths and rebirths as well: After escaping incineration, the outlaw is given a mock-elegy by his cohorts underneath a bed sheet and, finally, resuscitation by burning his own death notice. ("I ain't dead no more. I've come awake," he declares with full Actors Studio theatricality.) Newman's feverish pas-de-deux with broom and "Rally 'round the Flag," the flour-covered getaway, the shooting of the moon's reflection -- this is the freedom Renoir said directors have in the Western. The killing of Denver Pyle is a small masterpiece of its own, the visceral execution of violence (slow-mo under harsh sunlight) and its moral critique (the one boot left standing is giggled at by a little girl, who receives her mother's disapproving slap). Penn's goal is not so much revionism as modernism, the tearing down of one legend to erect another: Hurd Hatfield's betrayal when Billy the Kid won't live up to his legend is the hurt of the myth-peddler and proto-groupie, a concept with echoes in Unforgiven and In Praise of Love. A close, inspired study of Ford and Nicholas Ray, and a decisive source of inspiration to Peckinpah, Malick and Penn himself, who looked at it again and saw Bonnie and Clyde. With Lita Milan, James Congdon, James Best, John Dierkes, and Wally Brown. In black and white.

Rep. Gosar Files Articles of Impeachment against EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy
For Immediate Release
Date: September 11, 2015
Contact: Steven D. Smith
WASHINGTON, D.C. - Today, U.S. Congressman Paul A. Gosar, D.D.S. (AZ-04) released the following statement after introducing H.RES.417 with 20 other members of Congress, which begins the impeachment process for Gina McCarthy, Administrator of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), after she committed perjury and made several false statements at multiple congressional hearings, and as a result, is guilty of high crimes and misdemeanors:
"For far too long, Congress has allowed unelected bureaucrats and executive branch officials to slowly bend and break the laws of this country in order to further their own partisan political agendas. We have reached a breaking point where the American people have no faith in the fundamental checks and balances put in place by our founders to protect liberties and freedoms.
"On numerous occasions, Gina McCarthy not only broke the law by lying to Congress, but in doing so she also lied to the American people in order to force misguided and overreaching regulations, which have no scientific basis, down our throats. Her agencies new mandates will kill hundreds of thousands of jobs and cause untold economic harm to communities throughout the country. She must be held accountable for violating the rule of law and the only way for that to happen is through the impeachment process."
The text of Congressman Gosar's legislation can be found HERE.
Original Cosponsors of H.RES.417 include Reps. Mark Amodei, Brian Babin, Mo Brooks, Michael Burgess, Rick Crawford, Scott DesJarlais, Jeff Duncan, Trent Franks, Louie Gohmert, Jody Hice, Sam Johnson, Steve King, Walter B. Jones, Jr., Scott Perry, John Ratcliffe, Jason Smith, Randy Weber, Lynn Westmoreland, Joe Wilson and Ted Yoho.
Additionally, H.RES.417 is endorsed by FreedomWorks.
Administrator McCarthy committed perjury and made several false statements at multiple congressional hearings, and as a result, is guilty of high crimes and misdemeanors—an impeachable offense.
On July 9, 2015, Administrator McCarthy appeared before the House Committee on Space, Science, and Technology and made false statements in violation of section 1001 of title 18, United States Code. When questioned on how a provision in the administration's new Waters of the United States (WOTUS) rule was developed which allows previously non-jurisdictional waters to be regulated if they have a "significant nexus" to jurisdictional waters within 4,000 feet, McCarthy falsely claimed, "It is available in the docket…and that's what we relied on, both the knowledge and expertise of our staff, the information that we received from the public and comments and the science that's available to us."
An April 27th memo to Jo-Ellen Darcy, Assistant Secretary of the Army for Civil Works, from Major General John Peabody, proves that this was a false statement and that the 4,000 foot determination was not based on science stating, "The arbitrary nature of the 4,000-foot cutoff of jurisdiction is demonstrated by the fact that EPA staff engaged in drafting the rule told Corps staff during a conference call in March 2015 that EPA was going to cut off [Clean Water Act] jurisdiction at a distance of 5,000 feet from the [ordinary high water mark] of traditional navigable waters, interstate waters, territorial seas, impoundments or tributaries. Then, three days later, EPA staff changed its position" and went with the 4,000-foot cutoff; "EPA staff never provided any scientific support or justification for either a 5,000-foot or 4,000-foot cutoff." Furthermore, Federal Judge Ralph R. Erickson also found "the 4,000 foot cutoff to establish jurisdiction over 'similarly situated' waters has no connection to relevant scientific data" and cited this fact as one of the primary reasons for his injunction issued August 27, 2015.
On July 29, 2015, Administrator McCarthy appeared before the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform and committed perjury in violation of section 1621 of title 18, United States Code. At the hearing, Congressman Gosar entered into the Congressional Record the April 27th and May 15th memorandums from Corps' Major General Peabody. These memos include remarks that directly contradict statements made under oath by Administrator McCarthy at the hearing including: that Gen. Peabody and other Army Corps employees had "serious concerns about certain aspects of the draft final rule"; that "the Corps' recommendations related to our most serious concerns have gone unaddressed"; that "the rule's contradictions with legal principles generate multiple legal and technical consequences that, in the view of the Corps, would be fatal to the rule in its current form"; that "our technical review of both documents indicate that the Corps data provided to EPA has been selectively applied out of context, and mixes terminology and disparate data sets"; and that "In the Corps' judgment, the documents contain numerous inappropriate assumptions with no connection to the data provided, misapplied data, analytical deficiencies, and logical inconsistencies. As a result, the Corps' review could not find a justifiable basis in the analysis for many of the documents' conclusions."
On June 10, 2015, Assistant Secretary of the Army (Civil Works) Jo-Ellen Darcy appeared before the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure. When asked about the Peabody memos she stated, "We took those concerns and talked through them and walked through them with the Environmental Protection Agency." Congressman Gosar asked Administrator McCarthy about these memos at the July 29th hearing stating, "Are you aware of the legal and scientific deficiencies raised by the Corps in those memos?" Administrator McCarthy replied, "Just from what I've read, I have not seen the memo myself." Later in this exchange, Administrator McCarthy stated, "In moving forward with the final; I individually had conversations with [Assistant Secretary of the Army Jo-Ellen Darcy] about the changes that the Army Corps was interested in making, and as the proposal moved through the interagency process I understood that everything had been fully satisfied." Administrator McCarthy committed perjury at this hearing by stating under oath that "all of the changes that the Army Corps was interested in making…had been fully satisfied" and by failing to initially disclose that the Corps of Engineers made her aware of the legal and scientific deficiencies expressed in the Peabody memos.
On February 4, 2015, Administrator McCarthy appeared at a joint hearing before the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure and the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works and made false statements in violation of section 1001 of title 18, United States Code. When answering questions about WOTUS, McCarthy stated, "Again, we are not expanding jurisdiction of the Clean Water Act, we are not eliminating any exemptions or exclusions in this proposal, we are in fact narrowing the jurisdiction of the Clean Water Act consistent with sound science and the law." However, information on the EPA's website states, "a very small number of additional waters – 3.2 percent - will be found jurisdictional and an EPA video released with the final rule claims that "until now 60% over our streams and millions of acres of wetlands all across the country were not protected." The Peabody memos—previously mentioned—document very well that the new WOTUS regulation is not based on "sound science." Further, numerous legal experts, including Federal Judge Erickson, have alleged that WOTUS is not consistent with the law and Justice Kennedy's opinion in Rapanos.
In the same February 4th hearing, McCarthy made other false and misleading statements. In one instance she stated, "Look at the history of the EPA in terms of how we listen, we listen to comments that have come in, this is a robust dialogue with the states." States and local governments were not included in drafting the proposed rule. In fact, 28 different states have filed five different lawsuits in multiple jurisdictions to block WOTUS.

Permanent Midnight
A Ben stiller Movie that maybe a lot of people haven't seen. Its a good one. It's based on the life of Jerry Stahl, the writer of the TV show ALF, who at the time was a hot shot Hollywood writer with a blockbuster sized drug habit. A film about the trappings of fame and success in Tinseltown. Oh, and ALF makes a cameo in his drug fueled hallucinations.
This is by far one of the best versions of A Christmas Carol. It was so modern and hilarious... Bill Murray rocks... just ask Chad.Added 9 Years Ago from Amazon.com
A great movie about the most infamous punk couple.

Butler seeks to cut civil service for some jobs
Citing a case for improved efficiency, Butler County commissioners want to eliminate the civil service system used to screen candidates for human service jobs.
About 100 union and 33 nonunion jobs instead would be part of a merit-based hiring system the county already uses to hire and promote hundreds of employees.
The proposal "represents a sound and more efficient alternative," said Carmine Scotese, head of the county's human services division.
The three county commissioners voted to ask the state Department of Public Welfare for permission to eliminate the system, which has been in place since 1973.
Affected jobs are in Children and Youth Services, Mental Health/Early Intervention/Intellectual Disabilities, Drug and Alcohol, Office on Aging and Emergency Management.
The welfare department has until mid-December to decide.
The civil service system develops and administers job-specific tests, monitors hiring and investigates employment complaints, conducts hearings and issues rulings.
According to the state Civil Service Commission, 37 state agencies covering nearly 57,000 civil service employees and another 9,000 employees working for 300 local governments use the system.
"We regret any time a client agency chooses not to renew our contract," state commission spokesman Jack McGettigan said. "We feel we do a very good job providing the services of maintaining and overseeing the merit system for our clients."
County officials said they must prove to the DPW that employees will be hired and advanced on merit and with open competition, receive adequate compensation and training opportunities, and won't face political influence in the workplace.
They said a merit-based system would attract more applicants and allow them to choose candidates who better fit departmental needs.
The civil service process relies too heavily on standardized written tests, and doesn't allow for much flexibility, they added.
Joyce Ainsworth, Butler County's deputy human services director, said it took the county nine months to hire a deputy administrator for the Office on Aging Department. Applicants had to travel to Harrisburg for testing.
"That was the last straw for us," Ainsworth said.
The DPW has allowed several other counties to switch to merit-based systems.
Greene County switched about 50 human services employees in July 2011, said Human Resources Director Tracy Zivkovich.
She added civil service wasn't needed to ensure the county followed federal laws.
"In this day and age, we've come a long way," Zivkovich said. "Our own handbooks and operating policies cover those requirements."
She said it now takes weeks, instead of months, to hire a Children and Youth caseworker.
"I could have an employee who tests very, very well, and they're at the top of the civil service list, but he's terrible with kids, and I have to put him in a CYS position," Zivkovich said of the old system.
She said the merit system doesn't increase the possibility of political hires.
Ainsworth said union members will still have a grievance process in place, and qualified veterans will still get preference.
For the nonunion employees, Butler commissioners approved a grievance process covering demotions, suspensions, reduction in pay, complaints about not being hired and allegations of arbitrary or discriminatory firings.
Ainsworth said no one has complained about the proposed changes.
Union representatives for Butler and Greene counties did not return phone messages.
Butler County officials said the move wouldn't save any money.
However, Chief Clerk Bill O'Donnell said paperwork and time spent on hiring would be reduced.

Salinas CA (SPX) Jul 02, 2014
In the fertile growing regions of the central coast of California, scientists are looking for ways to increase organic production of strawberry and other crops. Because cover crops can provide weed and erosion control, determining the best method for establishing a uniform and dense cover crop stand as soon as possible after planting is a critical first step.
The authors of a new study say that determining optimal planting strategies that accelerate cover crop emergence and reduce light penetration to weeds should be a primary focus.
Eric Brennan and Jim Leap from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Agricultural Research Service (ARS), coauthored the study published in the April 2014 issue of HortScience. Brennan and Leap evaluated the effectiveness of three secondary tillage implements for soil incorporation of broadcast cover crop seed compared with drilled seed using legume-rye cover crop mixtures.
"Our study was motivated by the need for effective strategies that will enable small-scale growers who do not have access to drills to grow uniform and weed-suppressive cover crops on beds," the authors said.
Both drilling and broadcasting methods are commonly used to plant cover crops. In vegetable and strawberry systems in the central coast region of California, grain drills are commonly used by medium- to large-scale farms, whereas smaller-scale organic farms with fewer resources often broadcast cover crop seed onto the soil surface and incorporate it into the soil in a separate pass with a secondary tillage implement.
Brennan and Leap explained that few studies have compared the two methods for their efficacy with planting cover crops.
"The effects of these contrasting sowing techniques on crop performance vary depending on a variety of factors, making it difficult to conclude that one method is universally preferable," they said.
The researchers compared four planting treatments (drill, broadcast plus rototiller, broadcast plus cultivator, and broadcast plus disc) and point implements (seeder, seeder plus rototiller, seeder plus cultivator, and seeder plus disc) for planting rye mixed with either purple or common vetch on beds.
"The implements evaluated in the study represent those typically used in organic and conventional vegetable row cropping systems in California and were configured for a 2.03-m wide bed system, which is a standard bed configuration here," the authors said.
The experiments were conducted in Salinas, California, with winter- and spring-sown cover crops for establishing rye mixed with either purple or common vetch on bed tops at a seeding rate of 140 kg-ha-1.
Results showed that drilling required less time than broadcasting because the broadcasting methods all used a second pass to incorporate the seed. According to the authors, drilled cover crops had greater uniformity and faster emergence, characteristics that would likely increase their ability to suppress weeds that emerge with the cover crop.
"The main problems with the broadcasting methods were delayed emergence and lower cover crop stands that were likely the result of greater variability in seeding depth," the authors said. The data showed that the best methods for incorporating broadcast seed into the bed were a rototiller or a cultivator with tines and a rolling basket, preferably at 50% to 100% higher seeding rates than drilling.

Seasonal allergies, aka hay fever, may strike your child for the first time this spring if he's between the ages of 2 and 5 (unlike food allergies, seasonal allergies typically don't develop in infants). So how do you know it's not just another bug he picked up at preschool? Watch for these seven signs. If your child has several, he may need to be evaluated by an allergist, says Princess Ogbogu, M.D., assistant professor of medicine and pediatrics who specializes in allergy and immunology at the Ohio State University Medical Center in Columbus, Ohio.

Will Saliva Help Solve The Amelia Earhart Mystery?
On March 17, 1937, aviation pioneer Amelia Earhart, took off from Oakland, California to make history, by becoming the first woman to fly around the world. However, On July 2nd, just 7,000 miles shy of her goal, her Lockheed Electra twin engine vanished into the Central Pacific Ocean. Despite an extensive search that cost the US government $4 million USD, neither the plane nor any remains of Ms. Earhart or her navigator, Fred Noonan, were found.
Though she was officially declared dead in 1939, her disappearance continues to intrigue researchers, till today. In 1988, the International Group for Historic Aircraft Recovery initiated a project, to try solve the Earhart/Noonan mystery. Over the years, they have sent six expeditions to the deserted Nikumaroro island, that lies 1,800 miles south of Hawaii, which is believed to be where Earhart and Noonan crash landed, over 70 years ago.
While the expeditions unearthed small pieces of evidence like a mirror from a woman's compact, buttons and a zipper from a flight jacket, human remains were elusive, until the discovery of three bone fragments, in 2009.
Though the researchers assert that the bones belong to Amelia Earhart, they have been unable to prove it, since all possible sources of Ms. Earhart's DNA have dried up, or are considered unreliable. Now, scientists may have thought of a way to solve the mystery - By creating a genetic profile of the legendary aviator from the saliva extracted from envelopes she licked, to seal letters.
The groundbreaking research is being headed by Dongya Yang, a genetic archaeologist at Simon Fraser University in Burnaby, Canada. From the over 400 pieces of correspondence available to them, her team picked four letters that Ms. Earhart had written to her sister. They figured that since these were personal, the aviator must have sealed the envelopes herself. Lucky for them, during that era, people always opened letters by cutting a slit on the side, leaving the seal intact.
To extract the saliva that contains the DNA, Ms. Yang will carefully steam the seals open. Once she collects enough of a sample, she and her team hope to gather two kinds of DNA - Mitochondrion, which is inherited from mothers and Nuclear, which the one that contains most of the person's genetic information. Once they are able to get both, they will create a complete genetic profile, which will help verify if these or any other remains that may be found in the future, can be traced back to Amelia Earhart.
However, there are a lot of hurdles - For one, nobody has ever tried extracting DNA in this manner before. Also, while the Mitochondrion DNA is easy to get because multiple copies exist in every cell, the Nuclear DNA may be harder, since each cell carries only one copy. Whether they are able to get enough of the latter, will depend on how Ms. Earhart licked her letters - lightly or with a lot of saliva.
To confirm that the resulting genetic profile is indeed Ms. Earhart's the team will verify it, by comparing it with her still-living relatives and also, from saliva extracted from a letter her sister wrote. If everything goes according to plan, Ms. Yang believes she will be able to complete the genetic profile in a few months - And maybe, just maybe, finally help solve the mystery of the missing aviator!

- MackenzieWednesday, January 21, 2015 at 7:21 amFrom this article I learned that, Amelia Earhart was trying to be the first woman to ever fly around the world. Another thing that this article has taught me is that, you can recive DNA samples from licked envelopes. One last thing that I learned is that some bones were found and were belived to be Earhart's. I loved this artcle.
- Muffin3Wednesday, January 21, 2015 at 7:21 amAmelia Earhart tried to travel around the world in a plane until a mysterious disapirence occored. I think that she crash landed on an island and just no one found her
- SineadWednesday, January 21, 2015 at 7:20 amToday i learned that Amelia Earhart was proclamed dead in 1939 but people still search for her and her navigator today. Also, though that her plane flouts, it was not seen... Now some scientists hope to get some DNA from her envelopes that she sealed with her saliva. For now, Earhart, Noonan, and their plane are still not found...
- MattWednesday, January 21, 2015 at 7:20 aml learned that Ms. Yang is close to finding out if the bones were really from Amelia .

Utah Highway Patrol troopers suspect a medical issue may have contributed to a one-car crash Thursday morning that closed down the Highway 201 ramp to southbound Interstate 215.
The driver, a man in his 30s, was believed to have passed out behind the wheel before his silver Dodge Stratus crashed into a snowbank and barrier wall at 9:11 a.m.
The man was conscious and responsive when transported to the hospital for a precautionary examination, UHP Sgt. Todd Royce said.
The ramp had reopened by 10:30 a.m., when wreckage was cleared and on-scene investigation concluded.
UHP asked drivers to use alternate routes through the area.

Il Papa himself won't be riding the bikes, however, as they are slated for use by the Papal Gendarmerie. I just hope that they can manage to keep their speed down low enough not to leave the papal motorcade shrinking on the horizon behind them.

"I just don't agree that a majority are al Qaeda and the bad guys. That's not true. There are about 70,000 to 100,000 oppositionists … Maybe 15 percent to 25 percent might be in one group or another who are what we would deem to be bad guys. There is a real moderate opposition that exists. General Idriss is running the military arm of that," Kerry continued, referring to General Salim Idriss, head of the rebel Free Syrian Army.
Reuters, a veritable wrecking-ball against White House claims of late, fact-checks Kerry's assertion -- which I've been calling attention to since the words left his mouth. His assurances are debatable at best:
Secretary of State John Kerry's public assertions that moderate Syrian opposition groups are growing in influence appear to be at odds with estimates by U.S. and European intelligence sources and nongovernmental experts, who say Islamic extremists remain by far the fiercest and best-organized rebel elements. … U.S. and allied intelligence sources and private experts on the Syrian conflict suggest that assessment is optimistic. While the radical Islamists among the rebels may not be numerically superior to more moderate fighters, they say, Islamist groups like the al Qaeda-aligned Nusra Front are better organized, armed and trained.
According to this optimistic analysis, the dark gray areas currently held by extremists. Let's say, for the sake of argument, that Kerry is right. Al Qaeda-aligned groups only account for 15-25 percent of rebel fighters in Syria. If that's the case, they've certainly managed to seize quite a lot of territory already, and that's without the FSA faltering. I'll close by reiterating a question I've asked several times: If we're going to equip "the good rebels," how can we vet those recipients and ensure that "bad rebels" don't procure those weapons without boots on the ground? Assad is atrocious. So are these monsters.

Gaming giant Tattersall's has blamed a $1.3 billion revenue downturn on the Victorian Government's smoking bans and other regulations.
Tattersall's turnover last financial year dropped from $14.6 billion to $13.3 billion, according to its annual report tabled in Victorian Parliament yesterday.
The fall prompted Tattersall's chairman, Raymond Hornsby, to comment in the report that "the industry is at the crossroads". A "tough regulatory environment", particularly a ban on smoking in gaming venues since September last year, had led to the downturn, he said.
The ban was not fully reflected in the financial results as it did not apply to the full year.
Other factors contributing to the downturn included new lighting regulations and restrictions on promotion and signage, he said. "Further regulation, be it through regional caps or the banning of advertising and signage will see further decline," Mr Hornsby said.
Interchurch Gambling Taskforce spokesman Tim Costello said he "rejoiced" at the downturn. "It means less human suffering," he said. "Just about all problem gamblers are smokers. To make them have a break is to give them a chance to save their money."
Australian Hotels Association chief executive Alan Giles said the smoking ban was cutting deep into the margins of gaming venue operators.
"Some of the small hotels are finding it a lot harder," he said.
While an average of 20 per cent of Australians smoked, this rose to about 56 per cent among regular gamblers.
"It's a smoking industry and this isn't helping problem gamblers," he said. "If they can't smoke they'll go elsewhere to gamble."
A spokesman for Gaming Minister John Pandazopoulos said the bans were a health measure, but if they helped reduce problem gambling they were a double bonus. In Tattersall's other activities, lotteries turnover grew 9.7 per cent to $1.1 billion.
The beleaguered Tatts Tipstar football tipping competition cut its net loss from $3 million in 2001-02 to $1.4 million last year.
Tattersall's, which has a gaming network of 261 hotels and clubs in Victoria, paid $377 million in taxes to the State Government last year as well as contributing $67 million to the Community Support Fund.
