The Launch of the .xxx Top Level Domain Name - Protecting Your Brand's Reputation The organization that controls most of the Internet's gTLD's (generic top level domain names, such as .com and .net) has approved the use of .xxx as a new gTLD. That has a number of trade-mark owners worried about the potential for reputational risk or damage to goodwill with the registration in the .xxx domain of their brands. The .xxx gTLD is for use by those involved in the adult entertainment industry. For everyone else, the thought of a brand being associated with this gTLD is somewhat concerning. |

Supreme Court of Canada Confirms Utility of Administrative Law in Aboriginal Consultation Cases Two recent decisions of the Supreme Court of Canada provide significant insight into the nature and purpose of the Crown's duty to consult with Aboriginal peoples—what it is, and just as importantly, what it is not—and the interplay of the duty with administrative law principles. |

Lawyer as Escrow Agent – Is it Worth It? Acting as an escrow agent is a common task of lawyers in British Columbia, especially, the solicitor, as a component of transactions. The duties of an escrow agent are primarily contractual and the escrow agent must carry out the duties accordingly, in a non-negligent fashion and without misconduct. Lawyers must take care not to agree as escrow agent to duties that are in conflict with their duties as counsel, but there are additional considerations. |

Corporate Secretary: Practising Law? The position of Corporate Secretary has evolved over the years. For some organizations, gone are the days when the Corporate Secretary was a mere corporate record custodian, certifier of corporate organizational facts and note-taker. Bylaws, board mandates, shareholder agreements and other governance documents, not to mention job descriptions, may or may not fully describe the expectations that now often go with the role. This article examines the role of the Corporate Secretary. |

US Canada Cross-Border Tax: Getting out of Canada With the U.S. economy not as robust as it once was, it seems that Americans are currently more interested in selling their Canadian assets, particularly recreational property, than buying Canadian assets. It is therefore useful to consider the issues that arise when a U.S. person sells Canadian real estate. The following points are relevant: - The U.S. person will be required to prepay tax on any gain arising from the Canadian real estate; and - If the real estate has been rented, the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) will require the U.S. person to catch up on any unpaid tax on the rental revenue. |

Restructuring Employee Benefits: Options and Restrictions Financial pressures often prompt an employer to review the benefits provided to employees and former employees in order to determine whether changes can be made that would decrease the cost of those benefits. Other times an employer will make changes to the benefits it offers in order to attract new employees or to better respond to the demographics of its workforce. This paper explores some of the more common changes employers make in respect of the benefits they offer to active and retired employees and highlights the more significant restrictions on an employer's ability to implement those changes. |

Supreme Court of Canada Weighs in on Disclosure Standard in Relation to Real Estate Developments in British Columbia On May 11, 2011, the Supreme Court of Canada released its reasons for judgment in Sharbern Holding Inc. v. Vancouver Airport Centre Ltd, 2011 SCC 23. While the case was decided under the now repealed Real Estate Act, R.S.B.C. 1996, c. 397, the findings are nonetheless of interest to real estate developers governed by the Real Estate Development Marketing Act, S.B.C. 2004, c. 41 ("REDMA"). Much of the Court's analysis should apply in the context real estate developments and disclosure statements governed by REDMA despite some content differences between the repealed and current statute. In addition, the decision has relevance to other statutory disclosure regimes based on the concept of materiality, such as securities law regimes. |

Creditors' Issues: Forbearance Agreements and Settlement Agreements Creditors and debtors often enter into agreements with respect to the repayment of indebtedness. These forbearance agreements or "standstill agreements" are useful tools whereby both creditors and debtors can work together to reach a common goal without the immediate need for realization of assets in a formal insolvency proceeding. In contrast, a settlement agreement is designed to bring finality to all or some part of the credit arrangement with the debtor. As such, particular care has to be taken under a settlement agreement to insure that what is being settled and released does not affect other parties or other issues that are not being resolved under the agreement. |

Ali Borgen's long, spirited fight with leukemia ends
As she fought for her life, Ali Borgen said leukemia might take her body but she would even then continue to fight childhood cancer, as her spirit and example might inspire others to campaign against the disease. Borgen died early Monday.By: Chuck Haga, Grand Forks Herald
Ali Borgen, the cherubic Grand Forks kid whose painful but spirited fight against leukemia captured the concern and admiration of people in her community and beyond, died early Monday.
She was 14 and had spent nearly a third of her brief but high-impact life fighting cancer, enduring excruciating pain from vertebrae fractures that twisted her spine and forced her to spend many months inside a "turtle" back brace. She lived much of her last two years at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn.
But through her spirit, she became a symbol of hope and courage.
"She had a smile on her face when she died," her mother, Karen Borgen, said.
Ali was one of about a dozen Grand Forks area children whose cancers were diagnosed in or around 2007, leading to questions about the possibility of a "cancer cluster," an unusual number of such cases in a specific time and area.
Local and state health authorities began an investigation last year, interviewing parents and looking for possible connections. Nothing definitive had been found as of late last year, but the investigation continues.
Ali frequently impressed people with her expressions of concern for others, including her parents and brother and the other area children fighting cancer, even as she grimaced in pain and endured round after round of chemotherapy and other treatments.
"No kid should have to die from leukemia like I am," she once told her mother. "It's ridiculous."
"We're all heartbroken that she had to suffer so with the pain," Karen Borgen said.
"She was too young."
Ali: Don't despair
While two other Grand Forks children among the 2007 cases — Taylor Vossekuil, 15, and Josie Greenwood, 3 — also died from leukemia, several of the others are cancer-free and healthy today. Doctors cite cure rates close to 90 percent for some forms of childhood leukemia and better than 80 percent for Ali's.
Ali celebrated the success stories and fought hard to write a happier ending to her own.
Her high-risk acute lymphoblastic leukemia, first diagnosed in March 2007, appeared to be in check by July 2009, and Ali threw herself back into the life she had enjoyed before: playing basketball and volleyball, resuming friendships and cherished routines with her family. She and her mother lobbied state and local officials, and in September a buoyant Ali led the Grand Forks City Council in the Pledge of Allegiance as Mayor Mike Brown declared childhood leukemia awareness month.
But in January 2010, Ali had to leave a game of basketball, winded after just two minutes. In April, a faulty step led to new back pain, and doctors found suspicious evidence of more vertebrae fractures. In early May, after exhaustive blood work and other tests, they told Karen Borgen that Ali's leukemia had returned.
With characteristic spunk, Ali fought back with more chemotherapy and total body irradiation. Her mother, at her side almost nonstop, maintained a CarePages diary that was funny and sad, poignant and feisty, at times angry and as carefully detailed as a documentary script.
A bone marrow transplant last fall gave the family new hope. But again, the cancer returned, and aggressively.
"She embodied the things we all respect — the courage, the reaching out to others even when she was having such a hard time," Brown said Monday. "Ali had a gift, an ability to connect with people.
"This is hard news to take. The death of a child — there are things that just should not be."
'Slipping away'
Ali was brought back to Grand Forks and — after a brief, frustrating struggle over eligibility — she was placed in hospice care at her home, where she died shortly after 5 a.m., her mother said.
Karen Borgen's last "WeLoveAliB" CarePages report, posted a few hours before Ali died, said the little girl's health had declined through the week and especially in the previous 24 hours.
"Time with Ali is slipping away, like sand slipping through desperate fingers," she wrote. "It hurts more than I could ever express."
But there were smiles to remember, she said, and promises to keep.
As she was brought home over New Year's, Ali told her family that she wanted a party, not just a funeral. She wanted to see and talk with people, celebrate "a lifetime" and thank everyone who had helped her and her family with prayers, support and other kindnesses.
And she wanted to "kick butt" in a last personal battle against childhood cancer.
At Ali's "celebration of a lifetime" at the Ramada Inn two weeks ago, more than 1,000 people sang, played and partied with her, and donations to fight childhood cancer topped $14,000. Ali dressed up as Pippi Longstocking, sang "Amazing Grace" with the band and painted henna tattoos on the hands of dozens of other children.
"She enjoyed it so much," Karen Borgen said Monday. "She stayed three hours longer than she had planned. It was everything she had wanted it to be.
"She cried when she heard how much money she had raised. She cried happy.
"And she got me to promise to never stop fighting against childhood cancer. I promised. I promised her I absolutely will keep fighting."
A memorial service is planned at 3 p.m. Sunday at Calvary Lutheran Church in Grand Forks, with visitation at 2 p.m.
"Ali has asked that instead of flowers, she prefers bouquets of smiley-face balloons that can be shared with all children present after the service," Karen Borgen wrote on the CarePages site. "Also, Ali said she didn't want anyone to wear black (pants are okay!) because it's 'too depressing.' She said smiley-face shirts, Ali team shirts, or anything fun is okay!
"Ali said she understands if you're sad, but she wants you to remember her with smiles and to laugh with each other and share memories."

Vodafone Reinforces Its Position In The UK Enterprise Market Through Cable & Wireless Worldwide Take-Over
Posted by Dan Bieler on April 24, 2012
Vodafone agreed to acquire Cable & Wireless Worldwide (CWW) for 1.04 billion pounds in cash, valuing CWW at three times EBITDA. The deal propels Vodafone to the second largest telco in the UK with revenues of GBP6.97 billion, behind BT with revenues of GBP15.6 billion. From a financial perspective, the deal has a limited impact, accounting for only 3% of Vodafone's 2011 EBITDA. However, given BT's lack of a mobile division, Vodafone, becomes the leading integrated telco in the UK, offering fixed and mobile operations. The deal is expected to complete in Q3 2012.
The main focus of the deal is on CWW's UK fixed-line network and CWW's business customer base, both of which Vodafone aims to add to its UK mobile network. CWW provides managed voice, data, hosting, and IP-based services and applications. The deal boosts Vodafone's enterprise offering, both in terms of access and transport infrastructure and also in terms of customer base. CWW is a major global infrastructure player: Its international cable network spans 425,000 km in length, covering 150 countries. In the UK, CWW operates a 20,500 km fiber network. Moreover, CWW has about 6,000 business customers. The future of CWW's non-UK assets remains uncertain. In our view they do provide true value for Vodafone, strengthening its global network infrastructure. Vodafone will provide further details regarding these non-UK assets later in the year.
The deal also addresses the demand for convergent solutions. Vodafone — in our view correctly — believes that fixed network infrastructure remains important in future, not least due to bandwidth-hungry applications such as UCC. The deal aims to leverage CWW's assets for a converged portfolio. The deal strengthens Vodafone's convergent and cloud-based communications (UCaaS) and hosting solutions. Vodafone already provides these types of solutions to the low-end of the market via its ONE Net offering. Thanks to the deal, Vodafone aims to go to the higher-end of the market. Its strategy in this space is to build up the capabilities to provide convergent and cloud-based communications solutions on an international scale and then decide market-by-market where to focus geographically.
The deal is a sign that the market for mid-sized telcos is getting tougher. Scale and synergies increasingly matter. The deal offers complementary network and data center assets and will trigger savings opportunities by reducing the cost for managing data traffic. For instance, Vodafone maintains about 13,000 base stations in the UK. About one-third of CWW's 20,500 km UK national fiber network runs within 100 meters of these base stations, which could be linked to the CWW network. Given that most of Vodafone's base stations in the UK are managed under a leasing arrangement, there will be significant savings. In addition, Vodafone expects savings through procurement, IT consolidation, and administration.
Vodafone pursues a two-stage approach to integration. During the initial phase, Vodafone intends to keep CWW separate, but under senior Vodafone management. During this phase, the enterprise account teams will be merged. During this first phase, Vodafone will also have to invest in CWW's network (although exact investment intentions were not communicated). During the second phase, Vodafone will fully combine the network infrastructure. Vodafone Group will be in charge of global customers, but regional accounts will be integrated on a national basis.
The deal will increase competition for BT, O2, and Everything Everywhere as Vodafone becomes the undisputed full-service telco in the UK. However, at this stage, there is no obvious reason why the deal should undermine the mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) partnership Vodafone has with BT.
The implications of the deal could have far reaching implications. Verizon, parent of Verizon Wireless, in which Vodafone maintains a 45% stake, and Vodafone might move closer to another in the enterprise space.
The deal is also interesting in that it underlines the limits of mobile broadband infrastructure for UCC and cloud computing. The explosion of data traffic driven by multimedia solutions like UCaaS requires a powerful global fixed network infrastructure, not only for the backhaul. It's time to take network infrastructure into account when designing cloud-based information and communications technology (ICT) solutions.

Fine and Ban
Ilaitia Turagabeci
Source: Fiji Times
February 20, 2012
"SHARK conservationists in Fiji have hailed Palau's decision to fine and ban a ship caught fishing and finning sharks in its waters.
The Taiwanese vessel, Sheng Chi Hui No.7, was spotted by a Greenpeace helicopter in December during its Defending our Pacific expedition on the Esperanza, which escorted the ship to port with the Paulaun patrol vessel, PSS President H.I.Remeliik.
Veteran shark campaigner Manoa Rasigatale said Palau's actions to penalise poachers in its Economic Exclusive Zone showed concerns shared by other Pacific island states, including Fiji, on the vulnerable state of our oceans.
...The Ministry of Fisheries, with help from the Coral Reef Alliance and the Pew Environment Group, is working on legislation to turn Fiji's waters into a shark sanctuary."

I am migrating .NET, C# code for custom extension from version 9.3 to 10.1. The code is creating many toolbars on the fly and add commands to them.
The code snippets for creating one toolbar is like follows:
ICommandBars bars = m_application.Document.CommandBars;
ICommandBar newBar = bars.Create("my new toolbar", esriCmdBarType.esriCmdBarTypeToolbar);
UID uid = new UIDClass();
uid.Value = "{E1F29C6B-4E6B-11D2-AE2C-080009EC732A}";
object index = 0;
newBar.Add(uid, ref index);
newBar.Dock(dockstyle, referencetoolbar);
so the above code works fine for 9.3 But when I recompile it on 10.1 , it produce an empty toolbar that has nothing. I investigate, and found out that the command "Dock" is corrupting the toolbar.
So, without Dock, the toolbar is created properly
I am reading on ArcObjects, and the documentation of ICommandBars.Create, says that this will create VBA toolbar, and if you are using non VBA platform, then use IToolBarDef instead.
So, is this command (ICommandBars.Create) is not supported with 10.1 and .NET?

VIPSports.eu (SBR rating D+) has confiscated $1,326 from a winning player. The player created his account January 30th, depositing $1,300 for a $1,000 cash bonus with a 30X rollover requirement. VIP Sports refunded the player's deposit and paid just 25% of his winnings after closing his account for "non-recreational play". | Read more
SBR added Gtbets Sportsbook to the ratings guide on August 16th, 2011. GTBets' initial rating was C. SBR reported that Gtbets was targeting displaced players of former operation VIP Sports (SBR rating B+), as well as similarly defunct sister sites Nine.com (SBR rating B+) and BetGameday (SBR rating B+). | Read more
GTBets management tells SBR that they are working a new mobile platform set to launch late summer, as well as an upgraded version of their website. GTBets currently uses the proprietary software once featured at the VIP Sports family. GTBets.com was introduced to the SBR sportsbook ratings on August 23rd, 2011. The sportsbook is located in Curacao. | Read more
UPDATE: BTG Global management has addressed this dispute. BTG has clarified that the player's statement of having limits from $22-$82.50 is false. The player was limited after being profiled as a non-recreational bettor, and given the following limits: $200 for NBA straight, $100 ML & total, as well as $75 NCAAB straight, $50 ML & total. BTG states the player is 21% of the way through his current rollover, and is able to continue playing or accept a prorated portion of his bonus winnings. A WagerUp (SBR rating C) player writes in with a bonus dispute. The player deposited $200 and received a 100% (30x RO) cash bonus. The player claims his first wager was a winning two-team parlay. The player also claims that WagerUp lowered his limits to $30 for parlays and between $22-$82.50 for straight bets. The player still must meet almost $9,500 in rollover with these revised limits. The player asks that he either receive a refund of his deposit + all winnings derived from the bonus, or that WagerUp restore reasonable account limits. SBR is following up on this sportsbook complaint.WagerUp.eu is part of the BTG Global gaming family. BTG Global N.V. is licensed in Curacao and powers sportsbooks Dimeline (SBR rating C), VIP Sports.eu (SBR rating C), as well as SafariCasino and BetTheGlobe. WagerUp was assessed with an initial rating of C on February 11th, 2012.
A former VIP Sports (SBR rating B-) player tells SBR that he was never paid a $250 balance. VIP Sports, Nine.com and BetGameday each closed their doors on August 1st, 2011. The Curacao based sportsbook family controversially decided to close up shop a month before the start of the football season, a time when many seasonal sports bettors were not logged into their accounts. VIP Sports paid the players who requested their balances by the August 1st deadline.New sportsbook GTBets.com (SBR rating C) announced that it would honor all VIP group players' funds. GTBets, also based in Curacao, is comprised of former VIP management and fully acquired the software source code, as well as retained hardware. GTBets vowed to contact all players with remaining balances. While SBR has confirmed GTBets payments to former VIP group players, GTBets is unwilling to share the total number of players owed or the amount of funds outstanding to players that have not returned their messages regarding their unclaimed balances.SBR is following up on this latest VIP player report.
WagerUp (SBR rating C) has been added to the SBR sportsbook ratings guide. WagerUp is part of the BTG Global gaming family. The sportsbook holds a gaming sub-license in Curacao and runs its marketing out of Canada. Management tells SBR that the sportsbook came online Thursday and targeted this weekend for a soft launch. On November 3rd, 2011, SBR reported that VIPSports.eu (SBR rating C) was the latest licensee of the BTG Global group. VIPSports.eu is operated by a former manager of defunct, long-time industry bookmaker VIP Sports (SBR rating B-).Players with feedback from playing with the BTG Global group are asked to write to SBR.
A former VIP Sports (SBR rating B-) player writes to SBR with a payment complaint. The player says that he was supposed to be sent a $500 check to settle his account with VIP Sports last year. The player has shared communication with VIP Sports that indicates a specific courier method as well as tracking number. This payment was never received. The VIP Sports customer service box is no longer being managed, after the sportsbook (along with sister sites Nine.com and BetGameday) shut its doors on 1 August 2011.On September 5th, SBR reported that GTBets (SBR rating C) would honor all VIP group players' balances. GTBets is a new Curacao based bookmaker managed by former VIP managers and using the VIP servers and software. The sportsbook mirroring VIP is an attempt to capitalize on the good name the brand once held. SBR has confirmed that GTBets has honored more than $35,000 in payments, which was believed to be all outstanding requests. SBR will speak with management concerning the $500 botched check withdrawal.
On 15 July 2011, SBR reported that VIP Sports (SBR rating B-) would close its doors. The Curacao based bookmaker announced that as of August 1st it would no longer be in business. VIP, along with sister sportsbooks Nine.com and BetGameDay.com instructed players to withdraw their funds by that time. Many seasonal players were taken by surprise when logging on for football season and realizing that the VIP brands were defunct. SBR exhausted all avenues in contacting former VIP personnel and eventually procured a statement that players would be paid. | Read more
UPDATE: The player has been paid his balance. Management cites miscommunication for the confusion.A VIPSports.eu (SBR rating C) player that deposited $500 and increased his balance to $1,390 claims that his winnings are not being honored. The player states that VIP has told him that his deposit would be refunded to his credit card. The player filed a dispute with SBR suggesting that he has no idea why he is not entitled to his winnings. SBR is following up on the account dispute with both the player and sportsbook.Recent VIP Sports.eu newsOn November 28th, SBR reported that a VIPSports.eu dispute was resolved. A player who had a $460 to win $400 hockey wager cancelled received credit for the wager he should have been able to make at his intended limits. The player also received credit for $35 in withdrawal fees which was docked by Moneybookers when VIP returned the player's balance. After learning that his wager was cancelled, the player grew upset with VIP and demanded that his account be closed. VIP credited the player's Moneybookers account a total of $95 to close out the sportsbook complaint.Players in need of sportsbook assistance are asked to fill out a sportsbook complaint form. Alternatively, players may reach Sportsbook Review by writing to firstname.lastname@example.com or by dialing 1-830-255-4677 during normal business hours.
VIPsports.eu (SBR rating C), which runs on the BTG Gaming platform along with SafariCasino (SBR rating D+) and Dimeline (SBR rating C), canceled a players pending wager. The game had not yet started. VIP implied that their software did not or was not able to properly enforce limits. The player states that because of their error he missed out on his winning play. SBR will seek comment from management.
VIPSports.eu (SBR rating C) is still making deceptive sales pitches to former clients of the now defunct VIP Sports (SBR rating B-) family. VIPSports.eu is distributing emails suggesting that it is the same as the terminated VIP Sports operation. It is important for players to realize that the original VIP Sports is not back - former marketing personnel are attempting to capitalize on the brand's name by releasing targeted emails to former VIP Sports and Nine.com (SBR rating B-) customers. VipSports.eu is hosted on a different wagering platform, in a different country, with different financial backing and ownership. Players should approach the new VIPSports.eu as an unknown quantity and proceed with caution as with all start-up sportsbook companies.On November 3rd, 2011, SBR reported that VipSports.eu is the latest licensee of the Safari Casino Group. Safari provides VipSports.eu with wagering software, hosting and processors in exchange for a monthly royalty. Safari Casino Group is most known for powering Dimeline Sportsbook (SBR rating C), BetTheGlobe (SBR rating D+), and Safari Casino (SBR rating D+). | VIPSports.eu email to players | Read more
VipSports.eu (SBR rating C) is the latest licensee of the Safari Casino Group. Safari powers VipSports.eu with wagering software, hosting and processors in exchange for a monthly royalty. VipSports.eu distributed thousands of emails Monday morning to former players of the now defunct VIP Sports (SBR rating B-). The VipSports.eu manager was formerly employed by VIP Sports and possesses an original database list of VIP customers. SBR interviewed the owner of the Safari Casino Group/BTG Gaming software company who confirmed powering the new brand.It is important to note that the original VIP Sports.com went off-line without paying all players. VIP Sports closed its doors faster than seasonal account-holders could react to a notice to withdraw their funds. SBR has assisted those players in receiving payments from another start-up sportsbook with former VIP Sports personnel, GTbets.com (SBR rating C). SBR believes that a significant amount of VIP Sports players remain unpaid. [quote]VIP Sports player: I am a long time, 7 year vipsports customer, was never told it was closing. I only make bets during college football season (American football) and just noticed today that my account was closed. I had a 700 USD in the account and would appreciate the money back. [/quote]SBR advises players to steer clear of any VIP associated property.VIPSports.eu players with feedback or complaints are asked to submit a sportsbook complaint form, or dial 1-830-255-4677 during normal business hours to speak with a Sportsbook Review dispute analyst. | Read more
GTBets.com (SBR rating C) tells SBR that they will honor VIP Sportsbook players funds. GTBets.com is a new sportsbook that surfaced when VIP Sportsbook, BetGameday and Nine.com went off-line on August 1st, 2011. GTBets acquired the VIP Sportsbook software, hardware and retained key management. GTBets first came to light when they began spamming marketing offers to former VIP players, which included those account-holders usernames at VIP. On July 15th, SBR reported that VIP Sportsbook was preparing to cease operations. VIP, BetGameday and Nine.com advised bettors via their homepages to request balances prior to August 1st, 2011. However, more than thirty players failed to see the warning on time and reported not being paid their final balances - worth more than $45,000. SBR continued to report that seasonal sports bettors missed the messages, reporting not being called or emailed with a heads up as to the closure of the Curacao based sportsbook family. A VIP manager claimed on August 16th that players in the attached SBR list would receive payment, but that there was no support or accounting team able to service future player claims. SBR first spoke with GTBets.com Thursday September 1st. Originally GTBets.com was prepared to offer VIP players a deal that if they made their final payout requests prior to October 1st, 2011, they would receive credits to their GTBets accounts and would be fully able to make withdrawals without playing requirements. After speaking with SBR further, GTBets took the restrictions off the good faith gesture so that all players able to confirm their final VIP balances would be able to be credited. | Read GTbets.com statement | Read more
VIP Sportsbook players are owed $45,995. Thirty-nine players report that they were not paid their funds prior to VIP Sportsbook going offline on August 1st, 2011. The Curacao based operator claims to not have the manpower nor the ability to process additional payouts. The sportsbook company claimed in discussions with SportsbookReview that players were given sufficient notice to access their accounts to initiate their payment requests. Many seasonal sports bettors are logging in for the first time for the upcoming football season, and did not noitce the July notice on the VIP Sports, BetGameday, or Nine.com websites. SBR will update this report. | Read more
VIP Sportsbook players report being owed $42,345.On July 15th, SBR reported that VIP Sportsbook and sister sites BetGameday and Nine.com would be closing their doors on August 1st, 2011. A message was placed atop each sportsbook homepage prompting bettors to request their funds by that time. Numerous seasonal sports bettors that did not log-in to see the notice report not receiving any email or phonecall alerts from VIP Sportsbook to withdraw their balances. On August 16th, "Jay" (a former VIP Sportsbook operations manager) told SBR that the players who filed sportsbook complaints would be paid. However, no mention was made of the sports bettors that have not yet contacted SportsbookReview, or who have not logged into their accounts to recognize the closure. On August 31st, SBR spoke with the VIP manager over telephone and it was stated that while players in the attached list would receive payment, no further payouts would be made. The manager claimed that the VIP Sportsbook office had closed and that there was no dedicated support team or contacts to field player inquiries, it was also stated that the primary reason for shutting the operation down was the difficulty of working with payment processors.SBR will update this report. | Read more
The SBR mailbag is growing with letters from VIP Sportsbook, Nine.com and BetGameDay players. The sportsbook family went off-line on August 1st, 2011, and has yet to pay all players. On July 15th, Sportsbook Review reported that the VIP Sportsbook group was preparing to shut its doors. In that report, SBR relayed the message hung on the VIP websites directing players to request their balances prior to August 1st. Many players never saw the message, however, and currently thirty players report not being paid $31,153. The amount seems relatively small considering that the family of sportsbooks has been online more than a decade, and was once considered an industry titan. While the exact amount of outstanding funds is unknown, SBR has received at least one report per day in the last two weeks of unpaid funds. Seasonal sports bettors were left blindsided by the move, many only logging into their accounts near the start of the football year. Players state that no email notices were sent advising them to request their funds, and that follow-up emails to the VIP support line have went unanswered.SBR is attempting to make contact with "Jay", a former operations manager with VIP Sportsbook who claimed on August 16th that players would receive their final payment shortly. Jay also addressed the emergence of GtBets.com—a website hosted on VIP Sportsbook's server, which shares the same layout, customer service numbers—by acknowledging that former employees are behind the venture. On August 15th, SBR reported that GTbets.com was sending marketing emails to former VIP players containing their VIP log-in information. While GTbets.com has not provided official comment on any connection to the now off-line VIP Sportsbook group, the operation is also headquartered in Curacao. SBR is hopeful that the disconnect between the VIP Group and its former players is attributable to technical challenges following the sites closure and the termination of support mailboxes. SBR will update this report as any of the reported thirty players confirm receiving their funds, or as more non-payment reports surface. | Read more

In addition to the already established sportsbooks, many fly-by night scam attempts are made by rogue operators in possession of industry mailing lists.

VIP Sports was based in the Dutch Antilles, operated by parent company Stockdale Investment Ltd. VIP Sports was listed on the London Stock Exchange in 2005, and continued its prominence by acquiring the MyBookie Group which included Nine.com and Betcom.com. VIP Sports also acquired the English Harbor Casino Group in November of 2005. In the spring of 2006, VIP Sports announced a full year gross profit of more than $80M, citing a 26% growth from 2005. VIP Sports lowered it's profile in the fall of 2006, deciding to no longer accept new player registrations from the United States on the heels of the UIGEA act. VIP Sports continued to operate a well-run sportsbook for the next six years. Its next major announcement came in January of 2011, when the sportsbook announced that its grandfathered Washington State players could no longer maintain accounts with VIP, amidst legal questionmarks surrounding players from that state.Players with any questions pertaining to their upcoming withdrawals for VIP Sports or any sister sportsbook should write to SBR at email@example.com. SBR may also be reached by phone during normal business hours at 1-830-255-4677.

The act does not state that it is unlawful for citizens to wager online and does not list penalties for doing so. | Full report | Read more

SBR has received many complaints from readers about Superiorbook, a turnkey site from BetEmpire (SBR rating C-), regarding an unprecedented amount of spam. The latest batch of email sent to customer lists claim that VIP (SBR rating A+) has closed and players should now join the safer Superiorbook. This prompted the recently privatized VIP to send an email to it's users stating:"It has come to our attention that emails containing false information about our company are being circulated. VIP.com is now under private ownership and the company is secure and successful as always. We will continue offering the same great products and services that you have come to expect from VIP.com – now and in the future.

Earlier this year Empire blamed third party marketing for sending emails containing fake links for well-known sportsbooks that lead to BetEmpire.com.
SBR has confirmed with sources within VIP (SBR rating A+) that all North American facing business will carry on under a private ownership group. The management and staff are planned to remain the same.

VIP Sports is the most active buyer. YouWager, BetRoyal and many smaller books are all said to be Sellers actively seeking buyouts. BetCRIS could also be a Buyer under the right circumstances which recently has focused on bailing out small operators. BetWWTS has made several trips and has signed at least one confidentiality agreement although we are unaware of any serious interest. Sportsbooks who have had made M&A headlines in the recent past that appear to be holding pat; Hollywood, BoDog, SportsInteraction are said to be no longer active Sellers. Smaller operations such as BetMaker, YouWager and Sportbet along with operations that have difficult reputations such as Royal Sports have mostly signed confidentiality agreements giving buyers a chance to possibly make an offer. SBR expects a pick-up in M&A activity despite rising valuations.

Mr. Gomez goes on to say that his customers will be wagering through the VIP system tonight and full customer service will be transferred by Thursday.

Jeff Allen has been striking this balance for years. As the owner of Flat 12 Gallery in Lubbock, Tex., he buys, restores and sells classic cars. He has no guarantee whatsoever that he will find a buyer, or even make back the cost of getting a car to his shop from a faraway city. But he consistently earns top dollar for his flips, so he must be doing something right.
He doesn't do it all on his own. Restoration artist Perry Barndt makes sure each detail is painstakingly restored, and technician Eric Ables has been known to bring even the most hopeless engine back to life. Last but not least, his fiancee of 18 years, Meg Bailey, runs the shop's day-to-day operations, which includes making sure that once a car is restored, it gets sold, no matter how much Allen has fallen in love with it and wants to keep it.
What follows is a list of 10 memorable flips from Flat 12 Gallery's history. All of them were discovered in different states of disrepair, restored to perfection and sold for a profit. Allen has provided his recollections of the circumstances that marked each car's transformation from junkyard find to collector's item.
1957 Chevrolet Bel Air
This car appears on the first episode of "The Car Chasers." Allen found it in what he described in an interview as "excellent condition," bought it for $18,000 and sold it for $25,000 to his next-door neighbor Chad.
Chad would visit the shop daily in the hopes of finding a 1979 Camaro. Instead, he fell in love with the Bel Air and bought it before Allen could even finish working on it. "I was going to change the wheels to make it more modern and increase the value, but Chad wanted it as is," he said.
1932 Ford Model AA
Allen said that he bought this 1932 Model AA for approximately $4,500 and sold it for "nine grand, off the top of my head." He described the buyer as "an Australian fellow in the entertainment business. I forget which studio."
He said that the truck was originally the property of an elderly man, and it had been his "pride and joy." The owner had kept it in good shape, but it hadn't been driven in many years. This meant draining the fluids, fixing the radiator and carburetor, installing a new battery and giving it a complete tune-up in order to make it run again.
2008 GT Tjaarda 550R
This car based on the Ford Mustang appeared in the 2009 film "Fast and Furious," and it set Allen back approximately $25,000 to buy it. He flipped it and sold it for roughly $40,000 at a Dallas auction.
He said this car was in such excellent shape that it was like a brand new car when he bought it. "I didn't fix it," he said. "I just drove it. I drove the crap out of it. I loved that car."

Woman, 77, gets probation in Warren church embezzlement
Helen Gvozdich, 77, gets probation for taking money from church, must repay $50,000
A 77-year-old woman has been sentenced to five years of probation for taking money from a Detroit-area church and has been ordered to repay $50,000.
Helen Gvozdich was sentenced Tuesday in Macomb County Circuit Court in Mount Clemens, avoiding the possibility of up to two years behind bars.
She earlier pleaded guilty to embezzlement in an agreement with prosecutors. Court records say a judge also ordered her to perform community service.
Her lawyer has said she devoted decades to serving the church and was the victim of an unfortunate series of events.
Authorities originally said that in 2008-2009 Gvozdich stole about $79,000 from the St. Stevan Decanski Serbian Orthodox Church in Warren.
Prosecutors say church officials agreed to accept $50,000 repayment if she pleaded guilty.

Round 2
RISIW Programme of Research Round 2 - 2010 for funding in 2011-2012
Programmes of Research Round 3
The Faculty Research Institutes' third internal funding round for Research Programmes opened in November last year and closed on 20 February 2012. Six bids were received and subjected to a thorough review from a Selection Advisory Panel, which included:
Professor Jim Albright, Director, ERIN
Professor Julie Byles, Director, PRC for Gender Health and Ageing, Faculty of Health
Professor Hugh Craig, Director, Humanities Research Institute
Professor John Germov (Chair), Pro Vice-Chancellor, FEDUA
Professor Margaret Harris, Research Development Director, Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, The University of Sydney
Associate Professor Frini Karayanidis, Faculty of Science & IT and representing the DVC-R
Professor Stephen Webb, Director, RISIW.
The Panel was unanimous in selecting two bids for funding in 2012-2013.
RISIW would like to congratulate the two programmes:
Religion in Political Life (RiPL) led by Dr Tim Stanley and to be administered by the Humanities Research Institute. Religion in Political Life is a very focussed and well-honed programme, building on an acknowledged Faculty research strength that was rated a 4 in the first ERA assessment. The bid conveyed authentic intellectual reach having a sharp and sophisticated conceptual frame. The Panel noted that this bid was at the cutting-edge of contemporary European thinking and had the potential for international links. The interdisciplinary team—Dr Tim Stanley, Associate Professor Roland Boer, Professors Hilary Carey, Terry Lovat, and John McDowell, and Dr Kath McPhillips—has an impressive track record, with evidence of existing collaborations, and a demonstrated capacity to undertake the project and deliver high-quality outcomes.
Comparative and International Education Group University of Newcastle (CIEGUN), led by Dr Tom Griffiths and to be administered by ERIN. Challenging Dominant Policy Paradigms is a very polished, strategically poised and well-presented programme. It has convincing theoretical and conceptual weight underpinned by a solid methodological framework. The Panel thought it was an exciting proposal and had a great sense of 'reaching out' with a global scope, and thus having the potential to deliver distinctive and excellent outcomes. The team—Dr Tom Griffiths, Associate Professor Linda Newman, Dr Zsuzsa Millei, Dr Stephanie Bengtsson, and Dr Nisha Thapliyal—have relevant track records and expertise, and there was a genuine case for cohesion between all five members.
Both programmes will receive $50K per year for two years (i.e., $100K each in total).
This year the Mid-Career Researcher Fellowship was linked to programme bids. The Selection Advisory Panel was unanimous in deciding to award the Mid-Career Researcher Fellowship to Dr Tom Griffiths for Semester 2, 2012.

Green schools cost less to operate, freeing up resources to truly improve students' education. Their carefully planned acoustics and abundant daylight make it easier and more comfortable for students to learn. Their clean indoor air cuts down sick days and gives our children a head start for a healthy, prosperous future. And their innovative design provides a wealth of hands-on learning opportunities.
Across the United States, school districts large and small are realizing the benefits of green schools. Students, parents, teachers and community members are making the difference, by letting elected officials know they want their schools built, operated, and maintained as a 'green school'.
The High Performance, Healthy Green Schools Committee exists to provide strategic leadership, subcommittee working groups, and outreach speakers bureau representatives to help the USGBC-Georgia Chapter achieve its goal of having every school in George become a 'Green School' within a generation (by 2040).
Chair: Juli Abbott, Gensler Architects
