Back to where it all started. The kids just couldn't get enough of this ride.^^
Gleefully laughing Freya as the ride oozing up...
The parents were enthusiastically waiting and watching their kids; the flash of the phones or cameras started rolling in...Eyra and d Freya were ready to take another turn...
Patiently and yet eagerly....
The more than enthusiastic parents...scrambled their way or peered thier heads to see their children...
Done with the ride, they bumped into the sugar candy. One is big enough for two.
The yummy expression that Freya showed as she was waiting for the parade to start.
Eiitz...what's this picture doing in here...
Back to the sugar-candy absorbed kids...sitting against the lamp stand
All of a sudden, a couple just approached Eyra and Freya and started to take picture..I mean I did.
No...not kissing, right? They were sharing the candy^^
Before the night parade started, most of the lamps were turned off so as to give it a more illuminating effect as the floats and parades were fully lit and soaked in lights.
Can't wait..can't wait till the parade came full circle right in front of us...
Yes, like this. Eyra was so happy and excited to see the bright and sparkling light emitted from the floats.
I t was about 8 pm and the kids still did not want to go.Instead.
.they wanted to go inside the Kidstroria again.
The front facade of the Kidstoria..
Nothing would interest the adult..but those visiting the park with their kids.
As usual, a huge playground is the major attraction for the kids...
As for the parents, a 50-minute playtime is enough to stretch up and loosen up the tense after a long-day walk inside the theme park. Just look at Alice? Even an adult is not even one third of her size.
The flying cards, jack the giant slayer (movie?)^^
and other fairy tales characters were just there for the kids to explore.
And lastly..they were stepping on the piano to mark the end of that day's visit to Lotte World.
Till we meet again, Lotte World.

Closure Review the definitions of economics on the list developed at the beginning of the workshop. How would you change your perception of what economics is all about now that you have seen the video program? What shifts have you made in your thinking?
To be perfectly honest, I have not made any shifts in my thinking. I have taught Economics for seven years and I did two of the lesson plans covered in the video (private property and why do people trade?) What I enjoyed was seeing another teacher implement the same lesson plan and how they made it their own. I have personalized both of these lesson plans but I definitely got some great ideas from these teachers. In the lesson on opportunity cost, I do conduct a similar discussion, but I have avoided the decision-making charts as I thought they were too time-consuming. However, having the students work in groups on an economic mystery involving opportunity cost and a quick presentation is a great idea as well. It gives student a visual to work with instead of simply discussing the concept.
I enjoyed this quote and will share this with my students at the beginning of the course:
"Everywhere we turn, if we choose one thing we must relinquish others which, in different circumstances, we would wish not to have relinquished. Scarcity of means to satisfy given ends is an almost ubiquitous condition of human nature. Here then, is the unity of subject of Economic Science, the forms assumed by human behavior in disposing of scarce means."

Just as the sports seasons collide to make October the best month there is for fans of football, basketball and baseball, many of the best hunting and fishing seasons open this time of year to make it the best time to be in the field, woods or on the water.
Waterfowl season opens in Southern California Saturday. The Salton Sea and the Wister Unit of the Imperial Wildlife Area will be booming, as will Lake Barrett, the only local lake that will be open for duck hunting on Saturday. Henshaw and Cuyamaca will open later in the year.
Barrett is sold out for reservations for duck blinds for the opener, but there are dates available during the season. Call (619) 668-2050.
Quail season also opens Saturday and runs to Jan. 27. Our recent two rainy seasons should make this a banner opener. Hunters scouting for deer are finding good numbers of coveys in their hunting areas.
Local lakes will start planting trout soon, with Lake Jennings up first and starting next week for an Oct. 26 opener for trout fishing if the water temperature is right for trout. It will be open every Friday, Saturday and Sunday for fishing.
Others lakes to follow with stocked trout include Dixon, Santee Lakes, Poway and Wohlford.
The Department of Fish and Game will stock trout in Chollas, Lindo, Murray and Lower Otay in addition to Lake Cuyamaca and Lake Morena. Chollas is open to kids, 15 and under.
Santee Lakes' big trout opener is set for Saturday, Nov. 3. The lakes will be stocked with 2,500 pounds of trout up to 12 pounds. There will be breakfast burritos at Lake 4 courtesy of the Lions Club. And there will be prizes for the top five trout caught that day.
Dixon will be stocked with 1,500 pounds of trout Oct. 31 and then get another 4,500 pounds for the Nov. 9-12 Trout Derby.
The big opening day for all hunting is Nov. 10. That's when pheasant, dove and wild turkey open. New this year for the fall turkey hunt are the expanded season and bag limit. The season runs from Nov. 10-Dec. 9, and the season bag limit is two of either sex.
The Barbara Worth Resort and Country Club is offering hunters a stay and play package for the dove-pheasant opener. Call (760) 356-5800 for details.
Deer hunting goes full metal jacket starting Oct. 27 with the opening of buck season (D-16) and antlerless (G-13) for gun hunters. Archery hunters may still get an archery only tag for bucks only. There is no quota for archery-only tags.
Ocean fishing continues to rock into October, too, with mixed bags of fish (bluefin, yellowfin, yellowtail and even dorado) being caught on 1½-day runs. Three-quarter-day runs scoring yellowtail and dorado and an occasional bluefin.
Fisherman's Landing's big Tackle Day is set for Nov. 3 at 9 a.m. Seminars and tackle deals. Call (619) 221-8506.

The Mets are announcing plans today for their new-and-improved Shea Stadium. What they eventually call the place could be determined by who writes the biggest check.
Anyway, I remember my first game at Shea … it was new then, so it looked pretty good. The Mets, believe it or not, lit up Sandy Koufax. It was the only time I saw him pitch in person.
My most other memorable Shea moments were seeing the Rolling Stones twice and the 2000 World Series.
What are yours? I need your help on this, so if you would be kind enough to send me your favorite Shea moments, I'll run them.
They don't have to be the Mets, either. It could be the Jets, or Stones, or the Beatles _ I can't believe they played for 20 minutes _ or maybe it was seeing Seinfeld in the stands.
Let me know. Thanks. John

All divisions have a pretty good battle for the top 3 (or more) spots and tonight just adds to the drama.
There is a chance of rain tonight but last time I checked it said it won't roll in until around 9pm. However, even if it gets here a little before that, we're still on! Get out there by 5:30 so we can ensure a smooth night of registration and check in. I'll see everyone in a few hours!

SALT LAKE CITY (Reuters) - Elizabeth Smart, who was kidnapped at age 14 from her Salt Lake City home and held for nine months in a case that gripped the nation, is engaged to be married with a wedding anticipated for the early summer, a family spokesman said on Friday.
Smart, now a 24-year-old missing child advocate and sometimes TV news commentator, has not publicly identified her fiance, spokesman Chris Thomas said.
"Elizabeth got engaged this past weekend," Thomas said in a written statement. "A date for the wedding has not been set but the couple anticipates early summer."
"While she plans to be very publicly involved with her child advocacy work, she has decided she wants to keep the details of her personal life private," Thomas added.
Smart was abducted at knifepoint from her bedroom in June 2002 by a homeless street preacher, Brian David Mitchell, and was repeatedly raped and forced to wander with her captor from town to town for nine months.
She was ultimately freed after being spotted by passers-by in a Salt Lake City suburb in 2003. Her kidnapping shocked Americans, and the exhaustive search for the missing teen was covered exhaustively in the U.S. media.
Mitchell was convicted in 2010 of kidnapping and unlawful transportation of a minor across state lines to engage in sexual activity. He was sentenced in May to life in prison.
Smart testified during Mitchell's trial, describing her time as his captive as "nine months of hell."
Mitchell's wife, Wanda Barzee, was sentenced to a 15-year prison term in 2010 after pleading guilty to conspiracy and cooperating with prosecutors in the case against Mitchell.
ABC News in July announced that it had hired Smart, who has shown composure since her release from captivity, as a contributor on stories about missing persons.

Cost of Cruise Business
Written by: Paul Motter
Is it just me, or does it seem that the one thing that has slipped significantly in our society in the new millennia is basic accountability and integrity in business? It seems like everything we buy these days is made with planned obsolescence and any recourse we may have for problems with a purchase is defeated by the "fine print" of the contract of purchase.
When was the last time you had a truly satisfactory customer service experience when bringing a problem with a purchase to light? Good customer service does still exist, but I am sure most of us agree that for most businesses it is far more rare than ever before.
What is most troubling about this? The lack of candor. Hey, we are all experiencing this bad economy which changes the terms of everything. When an airline starts to charge for luggage and food onboard we can see what they are doing. We may not like it, but the reality is that a trans-continental flight flying full this year may have an actual profit margin of only about $1000 after fuel and salaries are paid for. We still want and need to fly.
But when a company makes changes in their offerings they don't tell you about that is a different story. We are seeing much lower cruise fares this year as enticements to get you onboard, however the cruise lines are also seeing higher basic costs to run their ships so they have to make cuts someplace.
What costs are up? As the Royal Caribbean quarterly report stated, the price of oil per barrel has dropped by almost 65%, but the price at the pump has dropped much less. Why? This is exactly what I am talking about. Where is the justification and integrity in the oil companies in helping our economy recover by freeing up capital and lowering costs for hurting consumers?
The cruise lines gave rebates to all the guests who paid a fuel surcharge in 2008 based on the price of oil PER BARREL which dropped late in the year. Now they are paying out those rebates and not collecting the fuel surcharge anymore, but they are still paying a premium for fuel just like we are at the gas stations. The cruise lines are also suffering from the cost of capital. Cruise lines need operating money to stay in business, but the cost of borrowing money has also gone up.
Most of all, unlike the airlines which have shuttered down aircraft to keep each flight full, the cruise lines are keeping ships in service and even growing by adding to fleets. This is the correct long term approach as these amazing new ships create new demand for cruising as a vacation (the entire cruise industry is still less than 10% of the overall vacation market). But short term, it means hurt to the bottom line as income must go into new products instaed of making the cruise you are sailing on today the best possible experience.
Flying sucks right now – all the flights are full, there are delays and extra charges for every little thing you want onboard. Cruises are different, ships are less full and the fares have dropped significantly. But let's be realistic, the cruise lines must cut costs someplace.
One thing I have noticed is fewer food options onboard. On our last cruise the free room service no longer has a huge a la carte menu of options, it has just three options; beverages only, continental breakfast or eggs with toast. The dinners have been cut from five courses; salad, soup, appetizer, entree and dessert, to three courses by putting soups, salads and appetizers all under one category. It is a subtle change merely in menu layout, but it probably saves the cruise line a good amount of money since most people order by category.
Bottom line – you are going to see similar cutbacks everywhere in society. The oil companies are one of the few industries anywhere who have benefitted from a "windfall" of lower cost of doing business (with dropping cost of oil per barrel), but they have not shared it with us at the pumps. Don't expect businesses like cruise lines who are drastically cutting prices to get you onboard to suck it up and still deliver the same great experience they can provide when times are good.
Cruising is still a great vacation value, but if you see a smaller steak or less exotic appetizers on your plate that is status quo for doing business today. Yes, it is frustrating, but don't let it ruin your vacation.

Paul, although you are a good cruise writer, I will never confuse you with an Economist. Some of your statements about fuel pricing and capacity are "off the wall."
Please keep up the good work on Cruise News reporting and leave economic assessments to those that know what they are talking about. 😉

Time February 1, 2009 at 2:17 pm
I am on the fence about choosing to cruise as my next vacation choice. If the cruise lines want to cut corners, I may be forced to be equally selective. $5000 can still get a LOT in other sectors of the vacation market.
Comment from Paul Motter
Time February 2, 2009 at 8:25 am
Follow-up to Marc:
PAUL: What exactly is "off the wall?" I am not that uninformed.
MARC: First is your comment comparing airlines reducing capacity while cruise lines increasing capacity. You said it was smart for cruise lines to keep increasing capacity. I agree that the cruise lines will want new ships when we come out of this down turn; by the same token, airlines continue to buy new planes. Still, it wouldn't necessarily be bad if some of the cruise lines temporarily "moth balled" some of their less profitable ships instead of lowering prices to fill every bunk.
The other issue I have is your comment that "crude oil" prices have dropped 65% but gas prices have not. First, they are two different products; gas comes from crude but crude cost is only a partial (I don't know percentage) of cost of gas. Second, there are many "fixed" costs included in the price of cost; e.g. taxes (based on gallon not cost) and transportation. Still, while crude prices have dropped around 65% from their peak of $147 per barrel, gas prices have dropped around 60% from their peak of $4.114 per gallon.
PAUL: For the fuel comments I was merely echoing the comments of RCCL CEO Fain in last week's Q4 report. He said that while price per barrel has gone down the price of ship fuel "at the pump" has not gone down by the same percentage.
As for cruise lines mothballing ships, the question is "good for whom?" Micky Arison has said his most important concern during this downturn is Carnival's 80,000 employees, not shareholders.
MARC: Many (if not most) of Carnival's 80,000 employees are dependent on tips. If you discount cruises so heavily to fill in all the bunks, will those paying $59 per day still feel like paying $11 per day in tips? I am really scared when a CEO starts talking about concern for employees versus shareholders. Without shareholder value, you will end up with zero employees.
As for fuel cost, I know many airlines hedged fuel such that their 4th quarter fuel costs were much higher than fuel on the spot market; I wonder if RCCL suffered the same fate.
PAUL: From the quarterly report I have a feeling RCI might have suffered that.
MARC: Paul, after your last email, I went and read RCCL's quarterly report. They added a lot of capacity in 2008. The report also says that pricing is still going down. What surprised me was that there was no mention of withdrawing capacity. They are going to really hurt this year. It would be interesting to read Carnival's quarterly report, also.
PAUL: I have discussed this with a lot of people, including Wall Street investors. Everyone is hurting in this economy. RCL carries the same amount of debt that CCL does, but CCL has twice as many ships (much more income). RCLs ace, however, is that the new ships they are bringing online are more fuel efficent per passenger and demand higher fares due to their newness and appeal. They make more money from Solstice and will make FAR more money per passenger with Oasis than they do with older ships.
What I don't understand is Wall Street or other economists who think they know what is happening internally at these cruise lines and feel smarter than the people running these lines. If Galaxy was losing money they would mothball it, but they don't. Meanwhile, while the Millennium class may not be very profitable these days they haven't taken any out of service yet because over the long haul it is more important to retain customer relations and stability than it is to sweat over a short term P&L report.
We are all having hard times, but the short term mentality of analysts telling us how bad things are for Royal Caribbean is just hot air to me. Yes, they are going to suffer, but when this downturn is over they are going to emerge on top because they will by far have the most exciting ships at sea. The choice is to either succumb to the economy and lose their future leadership position, or stay the course and ride this thing out. I agree with management, they should ride it out.
No one knows where this economy is going despite what Roubini says. I predict at the worst we will have two years of bad recession, and at best we will see a bottom in six months. That means (on average) most likely a year from now we will start to see signs of recovery. That is exactly when Oasis of the Seas debuts. That ship is going to turn the cruise world on its ear.
MARC: Paul, thanks for the insight! Truthfully, we should have had our entire email conversation as part of the blog comments; that is the whole reason for blogging. Feel free to copy over if you wish.


text: Finishing our look at Utah's offense by talking about the receivers and tight ends. Utah's receivers are going to have to earn their numbers this year in an effort to emphasize the team game, not individuality, but even as they start spring in unfamiliar numbers they shouldn't be too hard to recognize as Utah returns the majority of their playmakers. DeVonte Christopher, Luke Matthews and Reggie Dunn are gone, but Kenneth Scott, Dres Anderson and Anthony Denham all return and are penciled in as starters. Anderson led the receivers with 36 catches for 365 yards and three touchdowns, Scott was third with 32 catches for 349 yards and three touchdowns and Denham had 11 catches for 135 yards. Junior Quinton Pedroza, freshman Delshawn McClellon and senior Sean Fitzgerald are the backups on the spring depth chart. Of that group, Anderson and Scott are both proven players while Denham has been hindered by injuries including a hamstring injury and thumb injury that required surgery. If the Utes can keep him healthy, the 6-foot-4, 222-pound Denham could have the biggest impact this year. Fitzgerald has been slowed by injuries as well while Pedroza will get plenty of chances to prove himself after contributing mainly on special teams. Utah's tight ends are a familiar bunch as well with Jake Murphy and Westlee Tonga returning. Murphy was second on the team with 33 catches for 349 yards and four touchdowns while Tonga had four catches for 39 yards. Also in camp are JC transfer Greg Reese and freshman Harrison Handley. How the 6-5, 250-pound Reese fits in will be one of the interesting developments for the Utes in the spring. Utah lost Dallin Rogers, Kendrick Moeai and David Rolf so they would welcome some immediate help. However, Reese didn't play last year, so it could take him a while to find his form again. - Lya Wodraska

OSAKA – The Osaka Regional Taxation Bureau has told Panasonic Corp. that the company failed to declare ¥11 billion in taxable income in two financial years through March 2011, sources said.
Panasonic, based in Kadoma, Osaka Prefecture, was not ordered to pay a penalty tax as it booked a loss in the year ending in March 2010, the sources said.
The tax bureau believes the company intentionally declared lower revenues for parts sold to its overseas units below those actually earned, the sources added.
The company is also believed to have saturated operating costs by making expenses related to its overseas units' sales promotion costs as well as research and development costs, they said.
The tax bureau says those expenses should have been logged on the units' books, not on the books of the Osaka head office, adding that the expenses are seen as "donations" that cannot be booked in its earnings reports.
A Panasonic official said the tax bureau and the company did not agree on the amount of taxable income, but Panasonic decided to follow instructions given by authorities, the sources said.

Are Car Shoppers Bothered by Recalls and False MPG Claims?
Swapalease.com Survey Reveals Concern Yet Many Say 'Part of Our Car Culture'
CINCINNATI--Feb. 27, 2013: Vehicle recalls and false MPG claims have been reported recently in the world of automotive. How concerning are these issues for drivers and car shoppers? Swapalease.com, the world's largest automotive lease marketplace, conducted a survey recently to check the pulse of car shoppers to find out where they stand on these issues.
On several of the questions, many drivers and car shoppers appear to be bothered by both issues. However, car lease experts at Swapalease.com were surprised at the number of people who do not appear to be troubled by these issues. In fact, on some of the questions, the clear majority of people accept these problems as simply a part of today's car culture and would rather focus on other priorities when shopping for a vehicle.
"The feedback from our survey shows how many of today's car shoppers aren't very concerned with these issues right now, which is surprising because of the safety and economic implications tied to each," said Scot Hall, Executive Vice President of Swapalease.com.
On the topic of vehicle recalls, roughly 70 percent of respondents feel there are a lot of recalls today, but they also believe it's simply a normal part of everyday life now. In fact, while 42 percent of people try to keep up with recall updates, approximately 90 percent of respondents don't feel the recalls make them nervous about other vehicles on the road. Ultimately, nearly 50 percent of respondents said the recalls will not affect their next purchase or lease decision on their next vehicle.
With all the talk of false MPG claims in the news, a surprising number of people are also not bothered by recent news items. Nearly 40 percent of respondents are not moved by the issue, nor do they believe it's a matter to be taken seriously. An additional 40 percent of respondents feel that false MPG claims will not affect their decision to purchase or lease their next vehicle.

The Recreational Boating and Fishing Foundation (RBFF), New Hampshire Fish and Game Department (NHFGD), and the Center for the Environment have partnered on a project to conduct research to assist the New Hampshire angler program in more effectively reaching fishing participants to encourage license sales to promote conservation. This project, entitled, "Using Community Based Social Marketing to Improve Angler Retention in New Hampshire," involves a focused assessment of the New Hampshire angler population to identify perceived barriers to and attitudes about purchasing a license. This work will contribute to an understanding of the specific dynamics of fishing license purchasing and perceptions of NHFGD conservation efforts in New Hampshire.
Graduate student Matt Bartley and his advisor, PSU faculty member Dr. Brian Eisenhauer, will use Community Based Social Marketing (CBSM) to guide the outcomes of their work. Their research involves a mixed methods approach; they will be using key informant interviews, focus groups, and a random sample survey along with analysis of RBFF's data on national motivations for and barriers to anglers purchasing fishing licenses. The project will help NHFGD and RBFF develop more effective marketing programs for angler recruitment and retention. The project is supported by $15,000 grants from both RBFF and NHFGD. For more information, visit the project webpage.

text: Applied Minerals, Inc. ("Applied Minerals") (OTCBB: AMNL), a leading global producer of Halloysite Clay, is pleased to provide an update of the Dragon Mine. Progress report including Resource Statement - Dragon Mine, Eureka, Utah, USA April 2011 - Prepared by Dr. Ian Wilson, consulting independent Geologist to Applied Minerals, Inc. Background to Applied Minerals Applied Minerals, Inc is a US publicly traded SEC reporting company with $60 million Current Enterprise Value. Applied Minerals owns the Dragon Mine Halloysite deposit in Utah and sells under the Dragonite™ tradename. New management took over from Atlas Mining Company in January 2009 and implemented a new Board of Directors and appointed geological and technical consultants for advice. With strong financial backing, Applied Minerals is nearing completion of a three-year study into the resources and markets to be served from the Dragon mine operation. The Dragon Mine is located in Tintic District of north central Utah, some 75 miles southwest of Salt Lake City. The area covers 230 acres and includes 38 patented claims. Currently there are two underground portals with workings. Five waste piles left by Filtrol from surface and underground mining are present on the property. Applied Minerals has recently been granted a permit to mine throughout the year. There is currently an onsite dry milling and jet milling operation producing some products with capacity dependent on the grade of halloysite. The property has a long history of mining from initial iron ore mining, where some gold was extracted from the smelting of the ore, through to mining of halloysite. Mining stopped in 1971 and over the last decade attempts have been made to re-commence production of halloysite. Filtrol Corporation mined over one million tons of halloysite from the surface and underground from 1949-1976 for use as a petroleum cracking catalyst. Since May 2008 a detailed investigation has been conducted of all available data with further drilling being carried out to determine remaining resources of halloysite.

SIGNING up to a help improve air quality in York has seen a Yorkshire bus operator become the first in England to secure a five star Eco Stars rating.
Arriva Yorkshire has signed up 15 of its vehicles in the York area to City of York Council's ECO Stars fleet recognition scheme.
The ECO stars (Efficient and Cleaner Operations) scheme helps York's fleet operators gain recognition for their commitment to improving efficiency, reducing fuel consumption and reducing emissions, all helping to improve local air quality.
The scheme awards each member a star rating based on an assessment of how 'clean' their vehicle fleet.
Cllr Dave Merrett, cabinet member for environmental services, planning and sustainability, said: "We are striving to improve air quality in York and help to cut the impact it can cause on both people and the environment."
Nigel Featham, regional managing director for Arriva Yorkshire, said: "We are delighted to be involved with the Eco Star initiative and we are extremely proud to have been awarded five stars. At Arriva we realise the importance of creating a sustainable future for the communities we serve."

Get reel: German Film Forum
Yvonne Teh, film editor
Most culture vultures in our fair city have heard of Le French May but I wonder how many people, even film fans, know about the German Film Forum?
This is despite the fact the Goethe-Institut Hong Kong's film programme has been running for close to two decades. I wonder how much of this is due to a lack of publicity and how much is due to a general disinterest in German cinema - despite it having produced many worthy films over the years.
In addition, the forum is not restricted to films that have only German dialogue or are solely German productions. And so it is with Hannes Lang's Peak, the first offering in its new Documentary, Life As It Is series, which runs from April 26 to September 27.
A German-Italian co-production, the film shows how the Alps have been affected by climate change.
The winner of the Goethe-Institut's Documentary Film Prize at the 2011 Dok Leipzig international film festival for documentary and animated films, Peak opens with an idyllic scene in which magnificent snow-capped mountains form the backdrop for a folk music performance by a duo dressed in traditional costume.
But once people start looking directly into the camera and talking, the message is one of trouble in paradise. First, a German-speaking worker at the Solden ski resort shares that the resort has needed to use snowmaking facilities since 1984, with upwards of 350 snow machines running for 24 hours to produce enough snow. Next, Italian-speaking men and women talk about the increasingly hard life in the valleys.
Then, in dialogue-free sections, the camera shows the breathtaking beauty of the Alps. The adage that a picture is worth a thousand words seems so very true."

And They Are Off ...
Rohan_888 said...
A payout of 77% on Malaysian horseracing is just way too low, especcially for place bets and win bets on favorites. If they (turfclubs + totalisator + government) seriously want to try to get a chunk of the bookie turnover they have to increase the payout. By increasing the dividends, by rebates or both. If they combine this with state-of-the-art technology, then the bookie only has one advantage left: punters can bet with them on credit. Both Singapore and Hong Kong have started giving rebates, when will Malaysia wake up?
My Take - Yes, that's the third pillar of eradicating illegals. I mean, the NFO payout ratio is even worse. Racing clubs should aim for 85% at least, then life would be a lot tougher for bookies. Right now bookies can comfortably offer 20% discount on each ticket and still come out on top.
Rebates for big ticket bets is a wierd thing. Its like racing clubs are acknowledging the strength of illegal bookmaking. But the small punters lose out. The rebates almost matches the discounts given by illegals, but the clubs must look deeper into why they bet with illegals - convenience, no cash upfront, can bet last minute, sometimes even cancelling bets last minute - fear of bookies absconding is surprisingly low, unlike 4D illegals, where people who bet big would want to bet with the official operator and not illegals.
But cleaning up Malaysian/Singapore racing will take a huge effort, you have to implement and see that rules are being exercised, suspend and fine accordingly. Plus increase prize money substantially. Sack all the club and committee members of existing turf clubs, put in professional managers at all levels - stewards, stipes, starters, vets, committee members - racing in our country is just as hard to move as the politics, its ingrained and vested interest abound. Everyone is a crony, has a crony ...

Hi Salvatore
I follow your blog quite often and always do admire your freespoken and candid views on the market and other interesting issues.
I would appreciate your views on Tenaga now if you can do a write-up, especially the warrants coz I remember you wrote bout it before last time. Tenaga-CB seems to be trading at ridiculously low premium compared to its counterpart Tenaga-CA. At the current price relative to the mother share, the premium is only 5.7% compared to 18.6% for the latter.The expiry date difference is only 3 months and gearing is much higher, so why the difference in valuations? Is the market undervaluing the warrant now?

San Antonio woman found dead in Wimberley
Updated 8:49 am, Thursday, March 27, 2014
SAN ANTONIO — The Hays County Sheriff's Office has arrested a man they say killed a San Antonio woman in Wimberley Wednesday.
An area resident had called authorities Wednesday morning to report finding an unresponsive woman with "traumatic injuries including a possible stab wound" in the 100 block of Scudder Lane.
When deputies arrived, they discovered the corpse of a 45-year-old woman, and a man with injuries consistent with stab wounds.
The man, Shaun Mireles, 22, admitted to killing the woman, according to the sheriff's office.
Both Mireles and the woman, whose identity has not been released, were listed as residents of San Antonio.
News Channel
Mireles was taken to an Austin hospital to be treated for self-inflicted stab wounds, the sheriff's office said.

The local head of the main union representing
Mr Camillo, who presided over a renegotiated enterprise agreement in August where workers found an extra $15 million in savings if Holden agreed to invest in new models in Australia, said the decision was "a terrible situation and really it was something that Holden didn't have to do''.
He said Prime Minister
"They could have saved the industry with a few dollars more," he said.
In Melbourne, a worker at Holden engine factory at the Fishermans Bend factory, Richard Brown, has been working at the car marker for 17 years. The 43-year-old said he had a wife and three children to support.
"I'm not too happy. We pretty much all expected it."
Mechanic Peter Mark said he and other workers were "absolutely gutted". He was not sure how he would find other work.
But another worker, Ron, who did not want his last name published, said it was "no great shock" and workers knew it was coming. He had worked for the car marker for 15 years and would probably retire when the doors closed. "It should've been announced long ago," he said.
"It's an icon gone. You can't blame governments, you can't blame unions, you can't blame anything. It's just one of those things that's going to happen."
Ron said manufacturing in Australia had gone and had no future. "You won't get it back," he said. "This is where governments should've stepped in years ago. These are all good people here. They are all good workers. We produce a world-class car."
Another worker, Rob, who also did not want his last name used, said the company told workers it would probably start laying off staff mid-2014.The mechanic, who has worked for the company for 18 years, said he thought he'd have work for "at least" the next six months.
Mr Camillo, who was in Tokyo on Wednesday for a conference, said the entire car industry was now doomed in Australia. "Toyota will now follow suit. They won't be able to sustain enough volume," he said.
Mr Camillo said the one minor plus was that the workers had some certainty about their fate and almost four years to make the transition to other industries and a different future.
He said unions wanted to see if there was any possibility that another manufacturer might be able to use the Holden manufacturing facility."We need to see if there is a Plan B," he said.

Trade and investment have been powerful engines driving economic growth and reducing poverty in Vietnam. In the almost 20 years since the United States and Vietnam normalized diplomatic relations, U.S.-Vietnam two-way trade has grown from less than $500 million to over thirty-four billion dollars this year, in the process contributing to Vietnam's dramatic reduction in poverty. Vietnam's participation in the rules-based international trading system has also reinforced good governance and the rule of law.
I am honored to be here this afternoon in recognition of Cambodia's National Day against Trafficking. I would like to recognize the Provincial Committee to Combat Human Trafficking who have worked closely with our partner – Winrock International – to make this event a reality. Too many Cambodians continue to be pushed into situations where they are easily exploited or trafficked. We need to recommit our collective energy to ensure those situations are a thing of the past.
I am pleased to join this important event today organized by the Ministry of Justice to receive social organizations and other stakeholders' inputs on the draft Civil Code. This event follows lively discussions with the Ministry of Justice and social organizations on the draft civil code in Hanoi and Hai Phong recently. USAID's Governance for Inclusive Growth Program is honored to support the Ministry of Justice's efforts in identifying issues on citizens and organizations rights for inclusion in the draft Civil Code.
Nearly fifty years ago, when my grandfather in India dreamt of a better life for his children, he only had one choice to make. He emptied his entire retirement account and put my dad on a plane with a one-way ticket to the United States of America. Today, families around the world have more options—and that is a wonderful and hopeful reality.
But we still, as Americans, need to stand for something special. So when successive Republican and Democratic presidents call on us to lead the fight to end extreme poverty or advance our basic democratic values, it is in our national security and economic interest, but it also speaks volumes about who we are. On behalf of the entire team at the U.S. Agency for International Development, thank you for this honor.
I am delighted to be here today to congratulate the Ayala Foundation, the other consortium members, and the participating civil society organizations on this important achievement.
According to the WHO status report on road safety, road traffic accidents result in more than 1 million deaths globally each year. For every 1 person who dies in a road traffic crash, 20 are injured. And 1 in 20 of those injured is left with a disability. At such a scale, this is an issue that impacts each of us. We envision a world where we and our loved ones face fewer risks as we go about our everyday lives.
But the numbers don't really describe the huge impact that accidents have. A traffic death may cost a family its wage earner. Traffic injuries may mean a child won't be able to attend school. In short – the accidents have the potential to cost Cambodia's government and its society heavily. What makes events like today all the more exciting, however, is that we come together not just to discuss the problem, but to celebrate a solution: the Asia Injury Prevention Foundation's "Head Safe, Helmet On" campaign.
On behalf of the American people and the U.S. Embassy Manila's United States Agency for International Development (USAID), I am honored to be here today for the Manila launch of the Philippine-American Fund second grant solicitation.
USAID has a powerful partnership with Bomet, and there are so many things we have already achieved together. We have been working in Bomet for a long time. There's a reason why you see the big USAID sign on the way to Tenwek Hospital.
The idea behind Shujog is fairly simple. Impact investors are looking for a pipeline of businesses to invest in that generate both financial and social returns. Yet these investors are often unable to connect with early-stage entrepreneurs, and that means there is so much potential still waiting to be tapped on both sides. Shujog's ACTS program, along with partners Bank of America Merrill Lynch, JP Morgan Chase, and the Rockefeller Foundation, will help bring them together, by providing Assistance for Capacity Building and Technical Services (ACTS). This will help social enterprises to better attract investment; scale their businesses; and increase their impact.

JERUSALEM (Reuters) - A senior Israeli minister accused Syria on Sunday of committing genocide during its crackdown on a 15-month uprising and made the Jewish state's most explicit call yet for military action against its Arab neighbour.
Vice Prime Minister Shaul Mofaz urged world powers to topple Syrian President Bashar al-Assad in the same way that last year's Western-backed campaign in Libya overthrew former strongman Muammar Gaddafi.
In separate comments, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the Syrian government was slaughtering civilians with the support of Israel's arch-foes Iran and Hezbollah. "The world should understand what kind of environment we live in," he said in remarks to his cabinet that were later broadcast.
Israel has until recently been slow to call for Assad's fall, wary of worsening the turmoil in Syria. The countries are enemies but have been in a mostly stable stand-off for decades.
With hourly media reports in Israel of Syrian civilian deaths, public anger has been growing and Israeli officials have been stepping up their criticism.
Israeli ministers have called for unspecified tougher action against Syria in recent weeks. Senior officials, speaking off the record, have confirmed that eventual action might include foreign military intervention.
"A crime against humanity, genocide, is being conducted in Syria today. And the silence of the world powers is contrary to all human logic," Mofaz told Israel's Army Radio.
"Since in the not-distant past the powers chose military intervention in Libya, here the required conclusion would be immediate military intervention to bring down the Assad regime."
Talk of genocide is especially loaded in Israel, which was founded in part as a haven for survivors of the Holocaust.
Mofaz, a former top general and political centrist who became junior partner in Netanyahu's conservative coalition government last month, criticised Russia for arming Damascus.
"Best-case, this is irresponsibility, and worst-case, it is a partnership in the slaughter," Mofaz said.
A longtime Syrian ally, Russia opposes outside intervention against Assad. Moscow has denied supporting any side in the conflict or providing arms that could be used in a civil war.
Mofaz said Israel had limited options on Syria.
"We cannot get involved, for understandable reasons. But I think that the West, led by the United States, has an interest in guarding the threshold (so) genocide does not take place."
Assad's government has condemned the killing of civilians in Syria, blaming anti-regime insurgents for the bloodshed.
Netanyahu sought to broaden responsibility out beyond Damascus, saying: "This is a slaughter carried out not only by the Syrian government. It is being helped by Iran and (Iranian-backed Lebanese guerrilla group) Hezbollah."
Israel's main regional worry is Tehran's nuclear programme, which world powers have been trying to curb through sanctions and negotiations, so far with limited results. Iran dismisses accusations it is trying to develop nuclear bombs.
Netanyahu has steered clear of explicitly calling for military intervention in Syria, telling Bild newspaper last week: "That's a decision for the leading powers who are now talking about it. The less I say as prime minister of Israel, the better."
A Netanyahu spokesman declined to comment on Mofaz's remarks.

Majority of Virginians support stricter gun laws – NBC poll
As it appears, 55 per cent of Virginians support stricter laws on the sale of firearms, opposed to 36 per cent who want them unchanged.
The result of the new NBC News/Marrist poll is not surprising if we remember that Virginia is one of key swing states — President Obama twice won it by the same margin he won the national popular vote — the percentage is almost identical to the national poll conducted by NBC/WSJ in the April.
The poll was conducted April 28-May 2 of 1,218 adults in Virginia, and it has a margin of error of plus-minus 2.8 percentage points.
These numbers, however, are hiding fascinating political, demographic and geographic differences. Eighty-two percent of Democrats in Virginia want stricter gun laws, compared with 56 percent of independents and just 29 percent of Republicans.
A wide gap still exists between gun owners and non-gun owners, as only 30 per cent of gun owners and 38 percent of those living in households with guns favor stricter gun laws.
There is another divide as well: 68 percent of women in the state want stricter gun laws, versus just 41 percent of men who do.
And finally, lets turn to geography. A staggering 70 per cent of residents of Northern Virginia suburbs, just oustide Washington D.C. support stricter gun laws. That's compared with the Northern Virginian exurbs (49 percent), the central and western part of the state (49 percent), the Richmond area (49 percent), and the Tidewater region (59 percent).

Teaming up with Mercedes, Santana has an intense moment with Brittany when tackling her part in the mash-up of 'Rumour Has It' and 'Someone Like You' for the show's 300th musical performance.
"Glee" has recently filmed its 300th musical number and the scene is now shared in a clip. In the epic performance, Amber Riley's Mercedes and Naya Rivera's Santana take the leads to deliver a mash-up of Adele's songs, "Rumour Has It" and "Someone Like You".
Clad in a black dress, Mercedes and Santana are joined by other members of McKinley High's new glee club, Troubletones. Santana's part looks dramatic as she seemingly directs the song to her love interest, Heather Morris' Brittany, who also joins her on the stage.
The Adele mash-up is featured in an upcoming "Glee" episode which will air Tuesday, November 15 at 8/7c on FOX. Titled "Mash Off", the said outing will see the New Directions kids and the Troubletones girls facing off each other in a dodgeball game without rules.

text: The Value of an MBA in a Post-Recession World December 19, 2013 Business and Management By Emad Rahim, D.M., PMP, CTU Faculty, Business and Management and Dr. Darrell N. Burrell, Program Manager and Professor, Florida Institute of Technology In light of the international financial challenges in the auto, banking, insurance, mortgage and real estate industries, not to mention the international corporate scandals like those of Enron, AIG and Bear Stearns, criticism is growing over the value of the MBA for developing effective business leaders who are ethical, professional and respectful of their employees and communities. After all, if the definition of management is getting work done through staff or human resources, why are so many MBA programs focused on teaching technical skills like finance, accounting and operations as opposed to courses on staff development? Where MBAs Went Wrong According to Peter Navarro's 2008 book on the subject, current MBA courses and programs are missing the mark in five key areas: MBA programs should take a multidisciplinary approach to teaching leadership development and problem solving by including areas like sociology, psychology, human relations, communication, cultural studies and diversity studies. Business programs should prepare students for the challenges of the real world by combining theory with real-world application through experiential learning. As new technology develops, and business influences become more global, business schools should focus on building global leaders by teaching adaptability, communication, innovation, collaboration and organizational-development skills. As the world becomes flatter, MBA programs should focus on valuing diversity, cultural competence and international business. In the wake of major corporate scandals and collapses, ethics, sustainability and CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) should provide a context that is woven throughout all courses of an MBA program. Shifting Strategies According to Warren G. Bennis and James O'Toole in their 2005 "Harvard Business Review" article, the MBA degree is no longer useful in today's market because the programs lack creativity, design and innovation in their curriculum and teachers. Adapting to the strategic leadership skills necessary for today's businesses and practitioners, many MBA degree programs should instead be driven by real-world case studies and applied research in university programs like the working executive programs offered by Colorado Technical University, Green Mountain College and Norwich University. Students entering these programs participate in practical, case-study driven courses that require them to practice making tough leadership decisions that influence people, organizational longevity and growth. From the Front Lines We studied a focus group consisting of 24 management professionals who used their in-depth understanding of today's business world, plus their own extensive and firsthand experience working in that environment, to identify a potential list of course topics that could be beneficially incorporated into modern MBA programs. Focus-group participants were selected at random and represented six different business organizations. Participants were asked to respond to the following question: Based on your leadership experience and the challenges facing managers in 2013, which skill-development courses do you feel would help MBA students cultivate the necessary leadership, decision-making and management skills? The answers were telling. Here, in order from most to least important, are their responses: Career Planning and Development: One participant made the point that having a career plan and strategic career goals were the biggest driving forces behind career mobility and development. The participants also agreed that a sound grasp of career development and planning skills on the part of executives would make them better mentors. Employee-Performance Management and Coaching: Participants said that one of the hardest things is learning how to effectively manage and motivate poorly performing employees. The other essential aspect of coaching is having an ability to help an employee who has raw talent develop into a star performer. Critical Thinking and Decision-Making Skills: Today's managers must routinely make difficult decisions and subsequently develop creative and effective solutions that account for complex variables and consequences. Understanding Organizational Politics and Culture: Making the right kind of relationships can make or break a career, just as not knowing the politics of an organizational culture can damage it. Managing and Valuing Diversity: Effective leadership requires the kind of skills that can develop diverse teams and get them to work successfully together. The focus-group results heavily emphasized the importance of leadership-development training as well as communication and relationship building skills. The insights of the participants offer an interesting framework of the kind of leadership training that is needed now and will be required of future business leaders.

Video is everywhere. TV, online, advertising, even billboards. Cisco claims video already accounts for the majority of Internet traffic. Today YouTube's founders launched a video blogging service for iOS (Android to follow). So, what's it for?
The power of now
Vblogs aren't lengthy videos, they are usually short snippets designed to get the point across. However, most existing services don't yet offer the kind of editing tools users might need in order to take incredibly short form videos and transform them into an art form -- and that's where MixBit steps in.
Created by YouTube founders, Chad Hurley and Steve Chen, the service lest users create up to 16-second bursts of video, which can them be mixed and edited into shape. The app lets users edit each 16-second clip and also allows up to 256 of these to be combined into an hour long video.
"We started YouTube to make it easy for everyone to share videos. Now we want to help people make great videos," the founders explain.
The evolution of video online is exponential.
YouTube isn't the only way today's digital natives attempt to engage with each other. Video blogging (vBlogging) may be in its infancy, but it's a growing trend that mirrors the increasing use of video conferencing within the enterprise space.
[ABOVE: MixBit also has a Web-based interface.]
Video for the people
MixBit is all about taking personally made short form movies and broadcasting them creatively. It's all about engagement, and that's why the final results can be shared across a range of social networks, including Twitter, Facebook, Google Plus or MixBit's own website.
In some sense the service isn't that new. Alternative vBlogging services include Instagram, Vine, Pheed, Keek, and Viddy. These seem popular among 13-25-year-olds (as of July, 2012, 85% of the Keek community was between the ages of 13-25), all have a social element, and some (Pheed in particular) even let users make money if they create popular content.
That's not to say MixBit's going to be a big earner, at least, not yet. Chad Hurley today wrote:
"We want to remove the barriers to video creation. That means giving people intuitive and flexible recording and remixing tools so it's easier than ever to tell meaningful stories through video. It means inventing new ways to encourage and enable people to collaborate with each other. And it also means exploring new approaches to identity, such as letting people upload videos without forcing them to sign up."
This suggests the company hasn't yet implemented its (certain to exist) vision of how to monetize the content that will be circulated via the service.
Complex immediacy?
The one thing that may be in the way of success may be the nature of the crowd currently using services of this kind. One of the bigger criticisms of Viddy (a service offering similar complexity in terms of video creation) is the time it takes to create clips.
"I've tried Viddy and the issue I had with the product was that it placed way to much emphasis on building the perfect clip… Every time I went to shoot something on Viddy I just found myself never posting it because I was unhappy with the quality (I basically overcomplicated it nearly every time)," a commenter wrote on a related report on The Verge.
"I like Vine cause it takes me only a moment to shoot a messy fun clip. If its kind of crap then I don't care as it only took me a few seconds to shoot and upload."
The challenge MixBit faces will be its ability to enable near instant video blogs for the young audience currently using tools like these to communicate with friends while also nurturing users into more creative self-expression using these tools.
What's also interesting is that the founders of the service seem keen to use existing social networking services in order to gather an audience for its app. Surely it's only a question of time until Facebook's Instagram allows people to create short clips for use as Facebook profile pictures, for example?
Either way, the service is entering a nascent market segment that's likely to spawn interesting results, given its deep integration with popular social media services.
It's yet another example of how apps offer up mobile device users an ever more individualized experience. It seems to me that the big hitters (Apple, Google) will be watching the evolution of video blogging with great interest as they seek the next big market driver to attract younger consumers to their platforms.

Clive Palmer says his flying visit to Perth on Tuesday was not about placating his Palmer United Party senator Dio Wang over controversial comments made on television about Chinese people - but just about catching up for a drink.
Mr Palmer, spoke with Radio 6PR's Breakfast program on Wednesday morning, by which time, he'd already left Western Australia.
He later hung up on a phone interview with Perth's ABC, after he was asked about comments supportive of his China stance made by PUP senator Jacqui Lambie.
Mr Palmer spent a few hours on Tuesday in Perth, where he met with Mr Wang.
The meeting with his colleague, who has a Chinese background, followed his broad spray on national television in which he accused the "communist Chinese government" of trying to take over Australian ports to steal the nation's natural resources.
"I don't mind standing up against the Chinese bastards and stopping them from doing it," he told ABC's Q&A program on Monday.
Mr Palmer went on to use the term "Chinese mongrels" and say that "they shoot their own people, they haven't got a justice system and they want to take over this country".
He said he had a drink with with Mr Wang on Tuesday and discussed issues relevant to WA while in Perth.
Mr Palmer denied the comments made on Q&A were a topic of discussion during their meeting.
"No we didn't discuss this [the TV appearance] at all," he said.
"We just discussed what was important for WA."
Palmer said his colleague had not expressed offence at the comments and that WA Premier Colin Barnett's comments that he was a racist were not correct.
"I think my comments have been taken out of context," he said.
"I called the people that we're dealing with in our company bastards.
"We're not talking about Chinese people, we're talking about the Chinese communist government who are suppressing their people."
Mr Palmer said he and Mr Wang discussed "what a great place [Perth] was" and his colleague's concern about WA not getting enough revenue from the GST collected in WA.
Mr Wang told Channel Nine on Tuesday he wasn't concerned at or offended by Mr Palmer's comments.
"I know he didn't mean that," Mr Wang said of the suggestion Mr Wang had labelled all Chinese people as "bastards".
Mr Palmer later became agitated when asked by ABC Radio about Ms Lambie's comments that "If anybody thinks that we should have a national security and defence policy which ignores the threat of a Chinese communist invasion - you're delusional and got rocks in your head".
"You might like me to do that [talk about Ms Lambie's comments] but I'll do what I want," Mr Palmer told ABC radio in Perth.
"I'm accountable to my comments as a citizen of this country and she's a citizen of Australia too.
"If she wants to make a comment, that's fine."
When asked if he supported Ms Lambie's comments, the billionaire cut the interview short.
"I don't want to talk about that ... because I don't have to. Goodbye," he said.
