The sudden unanimous passing of the recommendations by the Parliamentary Committee on National Security (PCNS) by a joint sitting of parliament despite the opposition to it had a number of factors to it – some actual and others perceived.
For starters, the two main opponents of the resolution, the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) and Jamiat UIema-e-Islam-Fazal (JUI-F), were offered complete government ownership of a move to reopen Nato supply routes.
The two parties feared the public backlash for supporting any such move directly.
The bailout offered by none other than the president himself meant that the resolution itself would not speak of reopening routes – which would be left to an independent order by the executive.
After final talks between the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) government and PML-N's Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan, Senator Ishaque Dar and JUI-F chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman, it was decided that the prime minister, after meeting with the Defence Committee of the Cabinet, will announce the decision. Such a move would help create enough distance between the move and the PML-N and JUI-F.
But the move to accept such a bailout by the PML-N had other, deeper, factors to it.
The PML-N's dilemma
Nawaz's move to accept the government's favour was pushed by his party's own fears of isolation.
Well-placed sources in the PML-N told The Express Tribune that the party's leadership first started paying attention following what they perceived to be a veiled threat by Foreign Minister Hina Rabbani Khar.
According to them, Khar's statement – that, in case the opposition was not ready to support the government on PCNS recommendations, the treasury benches would still ensure it passed with a simple majority, – was meant to convey a strong message to PML-N.
According sources in the PML-N, the party construed the message as follows: A failure to support PPP on this matter – related directly to Pakistan-US ties – would isolate the PML-N.
Why did this threaten the PML-N? The party felt that Khar's statement was issued after both the army and the US, both impatient stakeholders in the resolution, asked Khar to pressurise the PML-N leadership. Given the two quarters involved in this "pressure", the PML-N felt that resisting would have consequences. Not only did they feel it would it have the potential to affect their chances to form the next government, but, more directly, would mean isolation by two important quarters should they manage to come to power.
Hence the dilemma was between facing a backlash from the public and political rivals for supporting the resolution and facing isolation from two important quarters for not supporting it.
It was in light of Khar's statement that the party's leadership gave a go ahead to the Leader of Opposition in the National Assembly Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan and Leader of Opposition in the Senate Ishaq Dar to agree on a draft that was still consistent with the PML-N's stance and would not minimise the hit to its reputation in the upcoming elections.
According to the party sources, PPP, PML-N and Maulana Fazl had earlier agreed to put the draft on hold and try the resumption of Nato supplies through other available options, particularly under the Afghan Transit Trade. The army and the US, however, wanted the draft passed unanimously, the sources claimed.
Following the dilemma, direct negotiations were carried out between Chaudhry Nisar and the army, while Dar negotiated with US stakeholders in Dubai over the past few days.
The party sources claimed that PML-N chief Nawaz Sharif during his short and sudden visit to Dubai from April 2 to 4 met with US think tanks dealing with South Asia and officials of the Obama administration – ostensibly to do some damage control.
Sources further said that, during his meeting with US ambassador Cameron Munter in Islamabad, Sharif explained painstakingly that, while the PML-N wanted the resumption of Nato supplies, the party wanted to be shielded from any backlash that would harm its chances in the upcoming elections.
The PML-N chief is said to have been making concerted effort to ensure that he is viewed as a "suitable" premier for regional and other international stakeholders.
Given the sensitivity of the matter, versions were difficult to come by. PML-N's media coordinator refused to comment on the matter, saying simply that the entire Parliament passed the resolution.
PML-N's Deputy General Secretary Ahsan Iqbal could not be contacted for a version.
Long meeting with US envoy
As far as meetings go, a two-hour sitting between the PML-N's top leadership and US' Special Advisor on Pakistan and Afghanistan Ambassador Robin Raphel on Saturday was certainly not ordinary.
Nawaz Sharif was accompanied by his young brother Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif while Raphel was accompanied by US Lahore Counsel General Nina Fite.
An official statement stated that only mutual interests and bilateral relations between Pakistan and US were discussed.
However, sources say that the meeting was a part of the backroom dialogue already going on for the past few days – and Raphel discussed the lead-up to the US-led forces' withdrawal from Afghanistan and its aftermath.

THT Links: Lend a Hand
If you have never checked out Hit Tracker then you don't know what you're missing. Or perhaps you do know, in which case why are you intentionally denying yourself the satisfaction this site brings? Anyways, Hit Tracker has several ambitious plans for the coming season, one of which is to record all batted balls for the Red Sox, Yankees and Cardinals. One of the challenges complicating this task is the sheer manpower required to capture and enter this data into the Hit Tracker program. Therefore, if you might have some time to help collate Hit Tracker data, please contact
Jays Ink Zambrano to Minor League Deal – I guess the thinking is the Jays want to provide their Triple-A hitters with practice in avoiding balls thrown at them. Also, because it is in my contract and I enjoy doing it anyways, Scott Kazmir.
Go Directly to Jail. Do Not Pass Go. Do Not Collect $15.8 Million – A provision contained within Barry Bonds new contract allows for the Giants to terminate his contract if he is indicted… except the Collective Bargaining Agreement and MLB Commissioner's Office might not recognize the clause as enforceable. This could get all sorts of fun if the Giants end up feeling the need to exercise the clause.

A Look Back at Dodger Salaries – Andrew over at True Blue LA looks over the past 22 years of Dodgers players and converting their salaries into 2006 dollars (by equating salary to the league average for each year) determines who were the most expensive Dodger players. Gary Sheffield' 1998 takes the cake at a salary of over $29 million in 2006 dollars.
Boomer's Deal Gets Finalized – $3 million in base pay for David Wells with the possibility of another $4 million if he makes at least 27 starts. The Padres rotation now consists of Jake Peavy, Greg Maddux, Clay Hensley, Chris Young, and Wells. If they can stay healthy, and actually hit for once, the Padres have a good chance in the NL West.
Pads Building New Facility in DR – The San Diego Padres recently broke ground on a new training facility in the Dominican Republic. Padres owner John Moores expressed disappointment three years ago upon touring the existing facilities and immediately launched a directive to improve the conditions. Perhaps he was also motivated by the lack of talent the Padres are getting out of the Caribbean. A quick perusal of the Padres 40-man roster and top prospect lists prompts an interesting question; are the Padres the whitest team in baseball?

Man convicted in bat attack on Michigan family
Fri, 28 Jun 2013 17:21:33 GMT —
A 21-year-old man has been convicted of murder in a 2012 baseball bat attack on a suburban Detroit family.
An Oakland County Circuit Court jury on Friday found Mitchell Young guilty of first-degree murder, assault with intent to murder and other charges. He's expected to be sentenced July 25 to life in prison without the possibility of parole for the murder charge.
Earlier this month, 20-year-old Tucker Cipriano pleaded no contest to charges he killed his father and injured his mother and brother with a baseball bat in the attack. His sentencing is July 9.
The defense had argued that Tucker Cipriano was to blame.
Robert Cipriano was killed inside his Farmington Hills home in April 2012. His wife Rose and their son Sal were also attacked.

Coeliac disease symptoms
A person with coeliac disease has a bad reaction to gluten that can cause symptoms including indigestion, stomach pain, bloating, diarrhoea, and constipation and loss of appetite.
Coeliac disease can cause malnutrition as nutrients from food aren't absorbed properly, leading to unexpected weight loss and conditions such as anaemia.
Symptoms differ from person to person and can be mild to severe.
Signs and symptoms of malabsorption
The three major categories of dietary nutrients are carbohydrates, proteins and fat. Absorption of all of these nutrients can be reduced in coeliac disease; however, fat is the most commonly and severely affected nutrient. Most of the gastrointestinal symptoms and signs of coeliac disease are due to the inadequate absorption of fat (fat malabsorption). Gastrointestinal symptoms of fat malabsorption include diarrhoea, malodorous flatulence (foul-smelling wind), abdominal bloating and increased amounts of fat in the stool (steatorrhea). The unabsorbed fat is broken down by intestinal bacteria into fatty acids, and these fatty acids promote secretion of water into the intestine, resulting in diarrhoea. Fatty stools typically are large in volume, malodorous (foul smelling), greasy, light tan or light grey in colour, and tend to float in the toilet bowl. Oil droplets (undigested fat) also may be seen floating on top of the water.
Loss of intestinal villi also causes malabsorption of carbohydrates, particularly the sugar lactose. Lactose is the primary sugar in milk. Lactose is made up of two smaller sugars, glucose and galactose. In order for lactose to be absorbed from the intestine and into the body, it must first be split into glucose and galactose. The glucose and galactose then can be absorbed by the cells lining the small intestine. The enzyme that splits lactose into glucose and galactose is called lactase, and it is located on the surface of the small intestinal villi. In coeliac disease the intestinal villi along with the lactase enzymes on their surface are destroyed, leading to malabsorption of lactose.
Signs and symptoms of malabsorption of lactose are particularly prominent in individuals with coeliac disease who have underlying lactose intolerance, a genetically determined reduction in the activity of lactase. Symptoms of lactose malabsorption (diarrhoea, excessive flatulence (passing wind), abdominal pain and abdominal bloating or distension) occur because unabsorbed lactose passes through the small intestine and into the colon. In the colon, there is a normal bacterium that contains lactase and is able to split the lactose, using the resulting glucose and galactose for its own purposes. Unfortunately, when they split the lactose into glucose and galactose, the bacteria also release gas (hydrogen and /or methane). A proportion of the gas is expelled and is responsible for the increased flatus (passing wind) that may occur in coeliac disease. Increased gas mixed in the stool is responsible for stool floating in the toilet bowl.
Not all of the lactose that reaches the colon is split and used by colonic bacteria. The unsplit lactose that reaches the colon causes water to be drawn into the colon (by osmosis). This promotes diarrhoea.

Robbery suspect found thanks to tip from citizen
Howard County police have arrested a Baltimore woman for an assault and robbery caught on video at a bar last month, thanks to a tip from a citizen.
Jessica Whitney White, 24, of 3019 Kentucky Avenue in Baltimore, is charged with robbery, second-degree assault, and two counts of theft.
Police released a video of the crime last week, asking the public's help to solve the May 29 incident at Second Chance Saloon in the 5800 block of Robert Oliver Place in Columbia, Md. The video shows the suspect punching another woman in the face, knocking her down.
A tipster saw that video on TV news, recognized the suspect and called police. The person will receive reward money, police said.
White is suspected of assaulting a 27-year-old woman and stealing her purse. Police do not believe the two knew each other or spoke before the robbery. White is being held at Howard County Detention Center awaiting a bond hearing.

6.5 Grendel Advice - Please

I don't hunt- but I think any hunter will tell you that at that range it will come down to shot placement...
Keep in mind you're talking identical caliber bullets here- so the difference comes down to the larger case capacity of the 6.5 Creed (or .260) being able to push a bullet of any given weight faster (and natch, the Creed can push heavier bullets that the Grendel lacks the boiler room to handle)
The 6.5 Grendel pushes a 123 grain bullet at about 2600, the Creed/.260 at about 3000.
For specific comparisons, pick a bullet and punch it into a calculator, like JBM, and you can get the kinetic energy at any given range.
Recoil is, of course, going to be a bit heavier on the Creed, but my guess is the felt recoil will be partially offset by the heavier AR-10 platform. Neither will punch hard- one of the reasons the 6.5's are so popular is their impressive ballistics for their weight and amount of powder you need to burn to send them.
My son built a Grendel not long ago- it's a rush to shoot, banging minute of angle plates at 600 yards. But if the additional weight and cost of the AR-10 platform isn't objectionable, for a hunting application, more energy is always better than less...

PRZOOM - /newswire/ -
Point Roberts, WA, United States, 2005/05/02 - Petrol Oil and Gas, Inc. (OTCBB: POIG) announced today the results of an analysis of the Company's oil and gas reserves performed by McCune Engineering, an independent licensed petroleum engineering firm based in Baldwin City, Kansas..
The firm, through its evaluation of Petrol's projects in Kansas and Missouri, determined that the Company's Proved Developed Reserves have a present value of about $32.5 million in net cash flow using a discount rate of 10% (a "PV10 analysis"). The report calculated that these reserve assets could also generate approximately $46.5 million in future cash flow, excluding the discount rate.
In addition to the Proved Reserves, the firm identified Probable Reserves from Petrol projects such as Petrol-Neodesha, Coal Creek, and Pomona in Kansas as well as the Missouri project in Cass County, Missouri that could generate discounted future net revenue of around $8.6 million, using a 10% discount rate. The Probable Reserves were assigned to Petrol's leased acreage where producing gas well locations are currently undrilled. McCune also estimated production levels for Possible Gas Reserves of about 26.25 Billion cubic feet, which were assigned to 140,000 untested acres.
The statements in this press release regarding any implied or perceived benefits from existing of oil and gas field properties, actual reserves and revenues to be derived from the reserves, plans to drill additional oil and gas wells, anticipated revenues, the acquisition of additional oil or gas leases, maintaining mineral lease rights, and any other effects resulting from any of the above are forward-looking statements. Such statements involve risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, the continued production of gas at historical rates, costs of operations, delays, and any other difficulties related to producing minerals such as oil or gas, continued maintenance of the oil field and properties, price of oil or gas, marketing and sales of produced minerals, risks and effects of legal and administrative proceedings and governmental regulation, future financial and operational results, competition, general economic conditions, and the ability to manage and continue growth.
The reserve values stated in the McCune report are estimates and should not be interpreted as being exact quantities. They may or may not be actually recovered and the revenues stated in the report may be more or less than what will ultimately be recovered. While the reserve estimates presented in the report were believed reasonable at December 31, 2004, several factors may lead to a future revision of the reserve estimates presented in the report, including general economics, the Company's operations and reservoir performance.
Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual outcomes may vary materially from those indicated. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements we make in this news release include market conditions and those set forth in reports or documents we file from time to time with the SEC. We undertake no obligation to revise or update such statements to reflect current events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

"It works."
I am a skeptical of self-help titles, but this one is different. When you first listen to it, it may seem a little corny, but I found out that over the past few weeks, by listening to one of the 8-minutes segments each morning as instructed, my relationships began steady improvement. Now I don't rush or interrupt people like I used to. Amazingly enough, I discovered that my friends, co-workers and family are really interesting, if I actually listen. Who knew? Plus the less I say, the better a communicator they think I am, and when I do speak up, they listen closely to me.
Thank you, Dr. Kass!
"very dissaponting"
Not at all what I was expecting. There was very little content and it was a waste of money!
"Don't waste your time..."
This track consists mostly of off topic comments coupled with lame backround music and very little content. I am continually wanting to fast forward and find the content though I quickly found there was none.
If you expected practical listening advice or techniques look elsewhere.
The program starts out good for about 5 minutes though quickly veers off topic. At least 50% of this program is some kind of relaxation technique playing music in the background trying to lull you into a transe.

Update at 10:15 a.m.:
Tammy Lowe pleaded guilty this morning to failing to stop and render aid and is being tried solely for manslaughter in the deadly hit-and-run.
The first witness called this morning by prosecutors trying the former Grand Prairie teacher was the 6-year-old victim's mother.
Lauren Raidy-Brooks was walking back from the store with her son John Raidy and her daughter when police say Tammy Lowe ran a red light and struck the boy.
They walked to a Family Dollar less than a half mile from their Grand Prairie apartment to buy food for John's lunch and some candy "because he had been so good," his mother told jurors, who began to sob.
On the way back, they waited for the light to tell them they could safely cross at the crosswalk, Raidy-Brooks said. John started to cross but she called him back because the wheel of his sister's stroller was stuck. Then, they started to cross together after making sure there were no oncoming cars.
The crosswalk light started to blink.
"I told him we had to hurry. He started to run faster," his mother said, sobbing harder and wiping her nose and eyes with a tissue and pausing between every sentence. "I heard the horn. I looked up and the light was still red. I heard John get hit and he was in the air."
She said that she couldn't find her son at first and then found him on the ground.
Raidy-Brooks said the car didn't stop and never came back.
Lowe bowed her head and wiped her eyes as prosecutor Danielle Uher read the indictments. She appeared to have been tearful during the mother's testimony, as well.
Raidy-Brooks said her son was taken to a hospital and she wasn't allowed to see him while doctors and nurses cared for him.
"They took me into a room with a doctor and told me there was nothing they could do, that he was already gone," Raidy-Brooks testified.
During the testimony of the doctor who performed the autopsy large photos of John are displayed on a television in the courtroom. In some, he looks like he could be sleeping. But they are photos taken after he died.
At least one family member ran out of the courtroom when the photos were shown.
Original entry (posted at 7:40 a.m.):
Testimony begins today in the trial of a former Grand Prairie teacher arrested in the hit-and-run death of a 6-year-old boy.
Tammy Lowe, 54, is charged with failure to stop and render aid and manslaughter in the January 2013 death of John Raidy. She surrendered to police five days after the accident.
Lowe resigned from Grand Prairie ISD the same day she turned herself in to police. She was a seventh-grade social studies teacher at Adams Middle School in Grand Prairie and had been with the district since the 1996-97 school year.
Lowe's attorney, Cameron Gray, has said he has no doubt his client will be found not guilty at trial.
"We're ready to fight both of these charges," Gray said after his client was indicted. "We're certainly going to take this case to the people and take it to a jury."
On the day of the crash, the victim went with his mother and 2-year-old sister to buy candy at a store across from their apartment complex. On the way home, he was walking a few paces ahead of his mother, who was pushing the toddler in a stroller.
Authorities say the family had the right of way at the intersection of North Carrier Parkway and Holiday Hills Drive, near Crosswinds High School. The traffic light had been red for 14 seconds when Lowe drove her 2008 Toyota Yaris two-door hatchback through the intersection at 30 to 35 mph, hitting John and tossing him onto the hood of the car, police say.
Police say Lowe didn't brake until the car hit the boy, as if she didn't see him. The car carried him on its hood for about half a block. Lowe stopped long enough for him to fall to the road before she sped off.

You said I skirted your previous question above so I looked back at your original question. What does exchange wagering offer you that you don't already have? I can't answer that until you tell me all of the places you bet at. If none of them are with a sports exchange company, I offer you many reasons in my original opening post.
Pete -
I think out of all of the direct questions you avoided - this is the most critical. You keep calling your product an exchange and comparing it to exchange betting. It clearly is not. Why not address all of the concerns of everyone posting in this thread and tell us how your exchange isnt slanted towards the books having the edge?
Every advantage is for the SB in your model. You are not an exchange as exchanges are currently defined. You compare yourself above to online exchanges - but you are not comparable - apples to oranges. It wont help to come back and explain the legality or the reasons you are setting it up this way - in order for your model to work you have to explain to the customers (us) why it is we would want to use your product. I currently bet at exchanges, as do most here - so lets get past that - and lets stop pretending that your product is anything like an online exchange.
Cantor takes a bet but a large part of their handle comes from Floyd Mayweather and his pack of fellow people, Other than that, it's all square money from the tourists that couldn't pick a winner if they had the next day's paper.
Las Vegas sportsbooks could close tomorrow and no one would care. The few sharp bettors that still live in town have been betting offshore for years. The only action the sportsbooks take is from rube tourists and jagoff locals that come in to bet their five dollar four team parlays.
I dont see how this benefits anyone but the book And why would Pete come on such a small sample of bettors here to promote this.Its another way for the casual bettor to place more action,which in turn always favors the house.He talks about the laying off with other books?Hasnt this been going on since the beginning?who doesnt lay off bets//////.In vegas the big books ,havebeen layng off bets from the day they opened the doors.just not legally Now they can do it legally? so what How does that benifit me
,As far as the exchange thing we already do that ,most games i can buy a half point to 2 points .already For me more options for the bettor ,means more ways for the house to win, just like teasers ,reverses,parlays,in general all these options the book came up with over the years ,always looks like its a good thing for the player,but we all know all these plays benifit the book in the long run Exchange betting is no diffrent
Originally Posted by josbran: Exchange Betting is much better than regular betting. Wouldn't you rather lay -107 on a team than -110. If your answer is yes than exchange betting is the only way to go. I'm not saying all odds will be that low but check Betfair out on a Saturday or Sunday and see how many games against the points that your laying less than -110. Over time your profit/ loss stats will keep you in the game longer laying less than -110 on games. Also, exchange betting on horses it 100 times better because you can bet horses to lose or offer your own odds on a short price favorite that you think will get beat and clean up when it loses.
Josbran -
Nobody is debating that exchange betting is great for the bettor.
I think the discussion here has gotten a little muddy - but the point at hand is whether or not the OP idea is an exchange. I hold that it is not an exchange and cannot be compared to Betfair or MB. When there is one group who can only buy, and one group who can only sell - and there is not total transparency - that is not an exchange.
If there was a true exchange opening in Nevada - I am sure there would be a lot of people interested. But our govt wont allow that.
Originally Posted by cowboyfan1325: Nick69 I currently live in Vegas. I have 250k offshore and wager daily with Cantor for five figures. You know much of a pain in the behind it is to get these bank wire withdrawals from South America every week and have to explain to my bank what the darn it is? Whoever lives in Vegas and chooses to bet offshore is receiving 600 dollar moneygrams and doesnt know real money from a pile of chicken feed. As for locals, I dont like to worry about whether my book is going to get handcuffed and marched into a court room. Anyone that lives in Vegas and doesnt like to bet with the sportsbooks is either a small timer or flatout retarded
What are your thoughts on the OP idea?
This IS exchange wagering. It's just different than what's out there. I can only offer (create) processes that I own. Traditional Betfair exchanges (patents) are covered by that company globally. Within the United States, another person has the rights to that process but chooses not do to anything about it (check the US Patent Office). So here, this is what I have and let me tell you, Cantor wishes it was available now. Half the things they were doing would be legal with my method.
Pinnacle could have an agent in Nevada, post offers and Cantor could have taken them. How easy. I know you said there was no market for this but how wrong can you be? And look at the handle size this one company was doing.
I appreciate your candid remarks but now that we've seen what is going on behind the scenes, I'm pretty confident that my roll of the dice will have some wheels to it. This may not affect you since you're not in Nevada but when you see how the government can come in and take over those that are not playing by the rules, you might start to think that paying your taxes is a lot better than sitting in the cooler.
This is just an option for those who want it, not for those like you who don't. Give it time to breathe.
Good luck Pete. Let us know when it gets off the ground.
Can I come to Nevada "ONCE" to fund the account, then take care of business at home ? Guess that is the real question here. Other than that, it would be great if someone lived there and could take a bankroll to the establishment once and work from there is place of maing deposits all the time. But if you live in vegas or anywhere in the state it should not be a big deal. It guys in other states that need help.
If you can make it work, Im in... Anything to be able to place a bet without worrying if I am getting paid or arrested. Looks the 250K guy and his pinnacle are gone. Not only minutes after posting. That is sad to see someone lose all that money and with someone he thought would never get arrested. Got to think he has lost it all... Keep me in the loop...
Easy does it! No need to get in a huff. Just ask.
You can go to: http://www.uspto.gov/
Scroll down and "search by number": 8282471
That's my patent. The "person to person" patent is owned by a person named Aquilino (who apparently lives in New Jersey) . I can't answer your questions to him.
Anyone will be able to fund an account. All that is required is you are within Nevada's borders at the time you want to make an offer.
i am a matchbook client and dont understand why someone with the credibility of buffet or helu doesnt validate this type of wagering by backing the operation with the credibility and guarantees of his own name.
matchbook takes out roughly a one percent charge for every play. that equates to a 365 percent return on gross sales with minimum overhead. they do not have any of their own working capital involved other than the cost of upgrading servers. the problem with pete is he is just another peter, paul or pablo with no crediblity.
if someone like helu or buffet would start this type of operation it would be instantly profitable on name recognition alone.
a guy like petek...not so much.
matchbook takes out roughly a one percent charge for every play. that equates to a 365 percent return on gross sales
Ignoring the rest of your post - what does the above mean?
worded incorrectly. matchbook makes a one percent profit on yearly gross sales.
This question is a bit off topic, but I have been curious about it for awhile and an answer from a professional in the sports wagering business would be much appreciated.
Will there ever be a "live betting" market run online and legal in the state of nevada. I am thinking of a template much like the WSEX futures market, where prices of shares related to a pointspread or money line fluctuate as the actual game is being played.
It seems that the software for running such an exchange that would facilitate free and open trade in this fashion could be easily accessible and employed; it has already been built and is used in our CME Commodities markets on the electronic Globex exchange.
For my money, this would be a monster in the gaming world...the markets would be huge with books and players being involved in the buying and selling of shares within a given contest thus setting market price; the markets could be run and overseen using the CME group's commodities markets as a template.
Has there been any talk at all about the development of a live , legal, Nevada-based futures market based on sporting contests?
You have to be very careful when using the term "online". Most people don't realize that regulatory statutes first drummed up specifically stated that "online" use is prohibited (I'm talking specifically in Nevada now.) So someone (me?) has to challenge that order which will take a couple of years to overturn. Hence, we have applications that have been approved like my idea under the VPN heading or the like. Not "online" (and there's a difference by definition)
The idea itself is terrific. It's up to those who own those ideas (and there are many with a variety of patent ownerships) to get on the ball and begin to craft the procedure.
I know Nevada gets knocked continually from everything A-Z when it comes to sports wagering, but it does not preclude the fact that the Nevada Gaming Control Board is very high tech savvy and very open to new ideas. It's up to those who want those ideas to come to fruition to move on them. Cantor Gaming has been very aggressive with this market and I'm always looking forward to what they may do next. General talk of market based wagering is at a minimum in the public sector still. I think there has to be a balance between what ideas can be popular and what ideas could in fact, drive the sportsbooks out of their own business. P2P exchange wagering is great and popular globally but that might put a dent in the sportsbooks handle. Hence, I thought of the P2B version which includes that market. Not to create "an advantage" for the book, rather/also, an option for the player to have something new if they want it. The general public, before this recent Cantor uproar, didn't realize just how much the market for "laying" off really is.
We all know Nevada is a small player when it comes to putting things into practice and amount of money handled compared to the offshores. No doubt Nevada's influence is larger than its own model. If New Jersey and Delaware can create and expand it's sports betting market, everything moves up. Ideas like the one you mentioned is a natural.
But remember, because of regulations and the governing bodies that any state will have with sports wagering, change is slow. Nevada has been particularly slow but I think we'll evolve quickly very soon.
There are two things in Nevada that are continually resisted: Change and soccer wagering. (That's a joke!)
Thank you for the input.....and yes I agree that it does seem as if nevada is a bit slow on making any changes that will upset the apple cart.
Oh well, I am sure that when the bottom line is attractive enough, then some of these things will come to fruition.
Take it easy and best of luck with your endevour.

Right off the Runway, on to Your Lips…
Something you didn't know about The Beauty Bug – She used to have 2 very bold and bright red streaks in the front of her hair. Not goth or alternative – think Courtney Cox from Scream. She's since removed them (although she occasionally misses them), but still adores the color. She loves Her Red Sox, (who are currently winning their first ALDS game vs. the Angels) and She loves red lipstick. It's the one color that allows you to make a classic, yet sophisticated statement.
The newest shade of that perfect red, straight off the runway, is Peter Som's P.S. Kiss for Lancome. The Beauty Bug's sure you've heard about this hot little number, it's recently garnered nearly as much buzz and publicity as Britney (but for a good reason of course). The third Pout-a-Porter lipstick was created by Lancôme artistic director Gucci Westman and celebrated designer Peter Som for his Fall 2007 Fashion Show.
If history repeats itself, this baby will be sold out before you can say "pucker up". Get it now at Lancome counters in all Nordstroms, or do what The Beauty Bug does – just stay home, watch the Red Sox, and order it here online!
Go Sox!

Okay, here's an example of the power of this 48Days.net community. On May 11th, on our weekly
telemember call, I had 48Days.net member Chad
Jeffers as my guest. As Carrie Underwood's guitarist he calld in
from Austin, TX that night. We talked about his rise in music and his
newly released book, 25
Notes for the Successful Musician.
Another member, Brian Griffith was listening to that interview. The next morning he
contacted me. As the owner and designer of Anthology Gear Wear, he
just wondered if there would be any way I could get one of his
amazingly beautiful straps in Chad's hands. I simply connect the two -
and here's the potential of this community. Brian has sent Chad one of his straps - and
Chad is going to be using it tomorrow night when former Idol winner
Carrie is performing on the season finale of American Idol.
In a note I received from Chad he said: "The last time I played a particular guitar on the
Grammy's a few years ago, the luthier (builder) received 10 orders the
next week!! Hopefully I'll have a strong impact for Brian."
How would you like to have your product seen by the estimated 22 million viewers expected for the Wednesday night show?
Not all of us make guitar straps or play with Carrie Underwood. But the real question is -- what
creative ideas are you using to actively increase the marketing exposure
for your business?

Should student-athletes get money for personal expenses (the popular term is "student-athlete welfare")? Should the star quarterback get more than the reserve offensive lineman or a wrestler or track athlete? Is it fair that most mid-major conferences (such as the Horizon League for Butler, the Summit League for IPFW and the Mid-American Conference for Ball State) lack the money to pay athletes, while power conferences such as the Big Ten and ACC do? Where would the money come from?
NCAA President Mark Emmert doesn't support paying athletes, but he isn't ducking the issue. He's holding a two-day retreat Aug. 9-10 to discuss it and the future of Division I sports with about 50 university presidents and chancellors. Painter would love to be part of that discussion.
"Would I like to see players get more money since you see the staggering numbers college basketball generates?" he says. "Sure. There's nothing wrong with that. But it can't be anything extreme. I don't want to lose the amateurism."
How staggering are the financial numbers? The NCAA is getting $10.8 billion for its 14-year NCAA Tournament TV deal. Teams make about $256,000 per tourney victory, although that money is totaled up by each conference and divided evenly among members. That means Indiana, which has missed the last three NCAA tourneys, gets as much money as Purdue, which has made the tourney for five straight years and qualified for two Sweet 16s.
In football, the Bowl Championship Series distributes $174.07 million from its five bowl games, with the automatic qualifier conferences — Big Ten, Big 12, ACC, SEC, Pac-10 and Big East — getting $145.2 million. The other bowls also have payouts. Notre Dame, for instance, made $1.7 million for its participation in the Sun Bowl.
That sounds like a lot until you consider the cost of going to bowl games (The Bloomberg News reported last December that at least 13 schools spent more to play in a bowl than they received in payoffs, with the losses totaling more than $3.8 million), and the overall cost of college athletics.
A study by the NCAA and USA Today showed that 206 Division I public athletic departments lose money. Indiana and Purdue are two of the 22 public universities that make money.
Thanks to the Big Ten Network, IU had a surplus of $1.1 million. Purdue made $3.3 million.
Big Ten commissioner Jim Delany brought the student-athlete welfare topic to the national forefront in May at the conference's spring meetings.
That came after Ohio State was rocked by the resignation of football coach Jim Tressel over allegations of lying to school and NCAA officials about football players receiving illegal benefits (cash and tattoos) for trading memorabilia, plus NCAA violation issues involving current Heisman Trophy winner Cam Newton and former Heisman winner Reggie Bush.
"There was a lot of discussion on how we can improve the experience of student-athlete welfare," Delany said. "There is a lot of pressure on intercollegiate athletics. There have been a lot of incidents. We want to make the system more sustainable and healthier."
Full athletic scholarships cover tuition, room and board, books and fees. Not covered are entertainment (including meals), clothing, laundry, transportation and incidentals.
All students, not just athletes, can apply for Pell grants, which award up to $5,500 a year. The money doesn't have to be repaid. It's awarded based on financial need and costs to attend school.
Athletes also can apply for NCAA emergency funds, which can be used for travel and other expenses if a family member gets sick and the athlete doesn't have money to get home.
IU athletic director Fred Glass says there is a method for calculating personal expenses based on the community where each school is located.
"The Big Ten is showing a willingness, pursuant to Commissioner Delany's leadership, to paying the full cost of education," Glass says. "But no matter how you look at it, it's costly."
You hear stories about players needing money to eat, to take their girlfriends out to dinner or to do laundry. That is true, but then there's the human-nature factor. Give an athlete, say, $500 a month, and how much would go for food, dates and laundry, and how much for, say, tattoos and frivolous purchases?
"I do think there needs to be a little bit more money for players," Painter says, "but we've got to talk about the avenue and what's right. Just handing them money so they can get some new Timberlands (shoes) or a couple of extra CDs, I'm not hip on that. But if that money goes to the right places — yeah."
Former Indiana All-America Calbert Cheaney, now the Hoosiers' director of basketball operations, doesn't support paying players.
"I don't think it's a good idea. I don't agree with it."
During his college days in the early 1990s, Cheaney didn't have a car. He rode a bike (usually an old one that thieves wouldn't consider stealing) to class and practice. In bad weather, he'd walk, although he'd joke that, because he didn't want to be late, he ran. Sometimes he'd take a bus. Sometimes students with cars, seeing a rain-soaked college basketball superstar on foot, offered rides.
"Sometimes you wish you had some food to eat," he says. "Sometimes you didn't have that. At the same time, if you start paying players, it's not amateur anymore. You want to keep it amateur.
"You come to college to get an education and play basketball. You've got the scholarship and it pays for everything. If you're good enough, at the end of the day, you go to the NBA or to Europe or somewhere else overseas and play for money." Cheaney did that and earned $30 million during his 13-year NBA career.
The idea of paying athletes intrigues IU basketball coach Tom Crean — "I'm for anything that helps the players. That's the most important thing. If there's a way to find an ability to do that within reason, I'm for it" — but he's more in favor of helping the travel costs of players' parents. "I wish there would be a few things we could do to make that better."
Painter also supports helping parents pay for travel, particularly in the postseason. In recent years Purdue has opened NCAA tourney play at New Orleans, Washington D.C., Portland, Ore., and Spokane, Wash. It also had Sweet 16 trips to Phoenix and Houston.
Because teams don't find out where they play until Selection Sunday, just a few days before the tourney starts, there's no way to save by making early airline reservations. Depending on the location, the quality of the hotel, meals and other expenses, parents could spend $2,000 to $3,000 per NCAA tourney stop, perhaps more.
For Butler this past season, which lost in the national championship game, that meant traveling to Washington, D.C., New Orleans and Houston.
"Tournament travel for parents needs to be addressed," Painter says. "(In 2010) we found out Sunday night we're playing in Spokane on Thursday at noon. You know what it's like getting airline tickets for that? How are players' parents supposed to pay for that? They want to watch their kids play. Some of our parents don't go. Some do. I don't think that's fair."
Then there's the question of how much to give players and whether athletes from money-making sports, primarily football and men's basketball, should get more than other athletes.
Emmert has suggested that Title IX legislation would mandate that women athletes would have to be paid the same amount as men. Similar arguments could be made for the other men's and women's sports. Glass says an athlete on a full ride could get the full share of expenses paid for, while another athlete on only a quarter-scholarship might get only a quarter of the "federal dictated personal expenses paid."
Where do you find the money to give players? While Indiana is one of seven Big Ten athletic departments making money, Glass isn't excited about losing that surplus to pay athletes.
"The money would have to come from additional money we raise though the Varsity Club. Every year to pay tuition and room and board and the full scholarship cost is a real tough one for us as an institution.
"If the conference decided to prioritize it and carve it out of the Big Ten Network money, that might be a little more palatable, but that's still less money than we might otherwise get. If the NCAA decides to take some of its student welfare money to that, that's a little more painless for places like us. It's part of how the whole thing gets looked at."
Glass understands the financial advantage the Big Ten has over mid-major conferences. The NCAA has said only a plan that would be doable for all Division I programs would work.
"If a fairly well-off conference like the Big Ten does it, what does that mean for mid-majors?" Glass says. "Are we competing for the same kids? If we are, and in some cases we are, that would give us an advantage. Is that good, bad or indifferent? Those are the kind of things the Big Ten will look at and decide what our position will be."
One concern is that if the needs of players and parents grow, and the uncertain economy can amplify that, the temptation to look for shortcuts will grow with it.
"The tougher things get," Crean says, "the more that allows outside people to get involved."
No one expects giving players money for personal expenses will do away with problems. Those who want to cheat will continue to do so. Still, Glass sees merit in exploring the idea. When he was a student at IU, he had part-time jobs during the school year and summer.
"I made some scratch (money) and I could get by," he says. "But we demand so much of student-athletes today that it's almost unrealistic to expect them to have jobs.
"That's why student-athlete welfare is attractive to me. That's the plus side. On the questioning side is where does the money come from and what is the competitive effect?"
It likely will be years before those questions are answered.

TV made Suh bleed his own blood! TV gonna pay!
Ndamukong Suh made his appearance on ABC's celebrity diving sh*tshow, "Splash", and was quickly eliminated after one episode of the competition. Looks like "Dancing With The Stars" is the only stupid reality show to be dominated by NFL players. Suh was shown bleeding in footage of a training dive where he hit his head on the bottom of the pool. Head injuries in celebrity diving shows! Time for Goodell to legislate it out of the sport.
Suh deserves credit for at least attempting a moderately difficult dive. The default big fat guy move is the cannonball. Even it's a crowd-pleaser, the degree of difficulty isn't the highest.
Anyway, here's a GIF of Suh's dive if you very understandably didn't bother with this show. Suh went a second time, but he attempted the same dive, performing it only marginally better.

Gary Allan Is Taking Control for His New Album
Gary Allan's last album, 'Set You Free' was released last year, but it sounds like an appropriate title for his upcoming album as well. The singer is working on a new project, where he says he will finally call the shots.
"I'm gonna do the tracks that I want," Allan insists. "Last time, I let Jay [Joyce] pick what he wanted, and then I let Mark [Wright] pick what he wanted, then I took the [leftovers]. I think I'll probably cut what I want this time."
Not that the 46-year-old plans on doing everything by himself. Allan says he'll still call on his former producers if he feels like he needs their help.
"Guys that I work with like Mark, he's great at strings and making things big, so if I need that, I feel like I'll go to him," he adds. "If I feel like something needs more funk than I can give it, then I'll go to Jay. But I think I'd have to feel like I need one of them."
Regardless of what songs Allan puts on his new record, he says one thing he won't do is worry about whether he is pleasing others.
"I am so anti-people's opinions when I'm making a record, but when it's finished and I put it out there, I hope somebody likes it," he tells The Boot. "I never watch the charts; it's something I can't control and it drives me batty."
Allan won't have much time to work on his new album over the next few months. The California native will be busy crossing the country performing, including a stop at Country Thunder in Twin Lakes, Wis. Thursday night (July 24). See all of his upcoming shows here.

Editor's note: World Wrestling Entertainment implemented a test for steroids in February 2006. This story was incorrect on that point.
TAMPA — Today would have been Andrew Martin's 34th birthday.
The professional wrestler known as "Test" or the "Punisher" planned to leave Monday to celebrate in France, Sweden and Belgium, according to his MySpace page.
But authorities found his body Friday night at about 8 o'clock. And officers have since disclosed that they discovered prescription drugs, including painkillers and steroids, in the Harbour Place apartment.
A neighbor had become suspicious after watching him lie motionless on a couch for hours and called police. It appeared Mr. Martin was in the middle of a meal when he died, said police spokeswoman Laura McElroy. There was a half-eaten pizza and soda nearby.
Officers do not suspect foul play. There were no signs of trauma to Mr. Martin, she said. "He was obviously very healthy, McElroy said. The mystery of his death will likely be solved by his toxicology report.
Mr. Martin last performed for the World Wide Entertainment wrestling show in February 2007.
Fans have been speculating on numerous Web sites about why professional wrestlers have died young, including two locally.
Former professional wrestler Brian "Crush" Adams, 44, died Aug. 13, 2007, in his New Tampa home. An autopsy report found a mix of prescription drugs, a pain reliever, muscle relaxer and anxiety medication.
And on Jan. 19, 2007, ex-wrestler Scott Charles "Bam Bam" Bigelow, 45, died in his home in Hudson. Cause of death: multiple drugs, an autopsy revealed.
Many wrestling deaths cite coronary problems, which can be linked to excessive steroid use. Pro wrestlers are not tested for performance-enhancing drugs such as steroids.
The job is gruelling, and requires long days and the ability to work while injured.
More than 40 fans and friends left messages on Mr. Martin's MySpace page.
One remembered watching Mr. Martin exhibit self control when a fan "spat in your face and you were cool enough to stop the security guards from throwing him out for the sake of the kids who came with him so they could stay at the show."
On his page, Mr. Martin listed his dad as his hero and that "a good scary movie on the couch with my girl is a good night."

Bro's Penis + College Chick With Braces = Emergency Room Hell, Plus Is Not Always Wanting Sex Weird?
Q: This bitch literally scarred my dick, and I've turned down sex from other girls 26 times so far because of it.
Story is I was getting a blowie on the stairs of this random porch by this girl I met at a nearby college party. Thing is the girl had braces (which I thought no big deal braces cant actually harm your Jimmy). FUCKIN WRONG! Her braces caught my dick and peeled skin in a drunken struggle to get her steel mouth unhooked. I end up calling 911 because I was doubled over in pain and 2 months after everything was said and done, I'm healed. (no one ever found out & she blacked out).
Problem is, now I'm scared to let girls go down because of a permanent blemish where that other girl caught my dick. I use to be real "active" so you can imagine my frustration.
How do I explain it when other girls ask? Will they mind it? I don't want a rumor to doom me.
A: Let's take stock:
Emergency room visit? CHECK.
Two months to heal? CHECK…and also, JESUS CHRIST.
A scar so visible that you're self-conscious to hook up with other chicks? CHECK.
You refer to your former sex life the same way people refer to old volcanoes? CHECK.
Just how much dick did she have to floss out of her braces the next morning? Since she was blacked out, did she confuse it for bits of McNuggets that she just assumed she ate late night? And if she was kind of gross did she say "fuck it" and swallow your fragmented dick skin, because Oooo leftover McNuggets! YUMMY?
Unless we're talking about otherworldly dick mutilation, the simple solution here is turning off the lights or, if that is not possible because you only fuck in well-lit rooms, blame the scar on a botched circumcision as an infant. Chicks go nuts for childhood tragedy. "You almost lawst your cawk at birth? Awwwww, you poor thing. Here, have a slice of my soaking wet pussy." Yes, the girl in that scenario is from Boston. No idea why.
And by the way, I hope you learned your lesson. You don't stick your dick in a human cheese grater and hope for the goddamn best.
Q: Yo. Sup bro. Anyway, now that we're past the formalities, I got a kind of a good problem I guess. So I'm in college and I got a girlfriend now, she's cool. We bone, you know, good stuff. Well this girl is always down, I mean like wants it in the library and whenever, pretty much 24/7. I can't keep up man, physically or just wanting to, there's no way I can keep going like that. I guess what I'm asking is am I a bitch for being a man less ready and adventurous for sex than my girl?
A: At this point in my life I've probably had sex or jerked off close to 10,000 times (wildly innacurate overstatement) and almost every time, save for when time is of the essence, I think to myself before the first load even flies out, "I'm for sure blowing no less than two loads tonight, this feels terrific, I'M TERRIFIC. Block off the next hour, babe, because no one rebounds better than old JC." And then, without fail, after that first load sails out I'm like "Eh, one's good. We have any of that pasta left? Need to recharge batts." So I go eat a bowl of pasta to replace the eye-drop worth of cum I just purged.
This happens Every. Single. Time.
Bascially, if something is wrong with you, then something is definitely wrong with me. (Note: something is very wrong with me, seek help.)
Hey, here's a GIF some reader sent us.
And here's one with BOOBS
Daddy never taught her that no one likes a tease. GAAAAAAAHHH JUST PULL IT UP ALREADY!!!!!!!!
Q:Hardest Question you'll ever receive:
What is the 1-10 scale rating girls?
Sub Questions that should also be answered:
What criteria? How low is too low? Can it change from person to person or is it pretty objective?
A: No offense, but this is more like most high school question I've ever received.
And hey, I said "no offense" so you can't get all pissy about that. Don't you dare even think about taking offense, you got that, motherfucker?
Ok, so now is the part where you can take all kinds of umbrage and offense because I'm not actually going to answer your question.
Q: Thoughts on donating sperm? Pros: getting paid to whack it, and you're helping out a family who can't have kids. Cons: possibility of having dozens of your own kids running around and not knowing it. Thanks man. Keep up the good work.
A: Prior to reading your question my thoughts on donating sperm were, "(enter greasy fart noises here)."
I'm a profound thinker like that…
I never really think about donating spermatozoa outside of if I needed money I'd probably do it. The having 4000 kids part (let's face it, people would want my gobs of genetically perfect goo) doesn't really affect me. Since I'd only do it for money, I wouldn't feel any obligation to think about the kids it created. I'm merely a service provider. And that's the way you should approach it. You're being paid to fix a problem, like a plumber, carpenter or Dr. Kevorkian.
Let's check in with our old friend Ivan (the Bro who sends oddball questions) to see what he's up to
Q: Someone snitched on you and the cops found the corpse buried underneath your porch. The judge throws the book at you. He offers you the following sentences and will let you decide which punishment you want. A- Life in jail, with a surgically implanted elephant cock, in your butthole 24/7. B- 50 years in jail, with permanently attached headphones, playing "Sugar, Sugar" by the Archies, followed by "You Light Up My Life" by Debby Boone. Both songs, 24/7, super loud. C- 10 years in jail, in a female yak costume, along with a herd of 25 horny male yaks. D- 1 week in jail, hands and feet tied, housed with a large family of unfed cannibals.
A: I think I pick C and PRAY that the muscles surrounding my asshole are up for the task of being clinched for 87,648 hours straight (that's accounting for two leap years and no breaks.)
Q: You've met the woman of your dreams, a perfect ten, incredible in bed and she loves the NFL! You decide to pop the big question. You take her to a fancy restaurant, get on your knees and just before you take out the ring…disaster strikes! Your nerves betray you and your sensitive stomach too. You are about three seconds away, from letting one rip silently, but as petulant as rotten eggs & Limburger cheese. How would you handle this? A- Knock her unconscious with a left hook, then fart freely. B- Ask her where she stands on smelling really gross farts and then gas up the joint. C- Tackle the waiter and during the ensuing brawl, fart and blame him. D- Tell her to close her eyes and to guess what cologne you are wearing, as you fart right into her face.
A: I'd probably pick A, but I'd wait till she asks "what's for dinner?" (purely for the comedic timing) and then I'd start serving up right crosses, because no self-respecting blogger throws left hooks these days.
Q: I know this 100%, truthful account may sound like a bunch of bull, but it actually did occur! Last night I bought a frozen turkey for Thanksgiving. When I got home, the frozen turkey came to life and asked to be spared! Since I had nothing better to do, I pulled up a chair and asked the turkey, "What's in it for me?" The turkey then offered one of the following rewards, if I let it go. It's up to you almighty bro, which choice would you go with? A- It would turn itself into a carbon copy of a horny, Wonder Woman, ready to satisfy me sexually, but with a hairy pussy laced with barbwire. B- It would give me my own website, where I could post all of my outstanding letters to J. Camm, along with nude photos of myself whacking off. C- My very own Toyota Prius, that would secretly be an evil transformer, whose sole purpose in life would be to fuck the Statue of Liberty every Sunday morning. D- An army of ten million midget ninjas at my command, all hell bent on taking over San Francisco and renaming the city Liberace Land.
A: What eludes me — aside from responses to his questions, because they're harebrained — is why Ivan hasn't asked for a freelancing gig with us yet. Something, perhaps the power of Christ, would compel me to give him a shot.

Group Dynamics in Occupational Therapy: The Theoretical Basis and Practice Application of Group Intervention, 4th Edition, Marilyn B. Cole MS OTR/L FAOTA
In occupational therapy practice, well designed groups represent social and cultural contexts for occupational performance in everyday life. Group Dynamics in Occupational Therapy, the best-selling text for over 21 years by Marilyn B. Cole, has been updated to a Fourth Edition, offering strategies and learning tools to place clients in effective groups for enhanced therapeutic interventions.
Building on the original seven steps for learning group leadership, and keeping with the Occupational Therapy Practice Framework, Second Edition this text examines group dynamics from a therapeutic and wellness perspective. It reviews descriptions of how Occupational Therapy group leaders apply multiple levels of professional reasoning to maximize the therapeutic value of group interactions. Recent examples and evidence are also included in this Fourth Edition to reflect the design and use of groups for evaluation and intervention within the newly evolving paradigm of occupational therapy.
Features Inside the Fourth Edition:
· Practice exercises and applications within groups, such as conflict resolution and social learning techniques
· Overview of complexity theory and its application to groups
· A format for designing groups for many specific settings and populations within OT practice (writing group protocols)
· Six-session group laboratory exercise and format for students to learn and expand their cultural competence
· Six-session group laboratory exercise for students entitled "Developing Your Professional Self" addressing the transition from student to practitioner
· A structure for designing and leading wellness or therapeutic groups in the community as a service learning project for students
Beginning with a client-centered theoretical approach, the 7-step format provides guidelines for the adaptation of group structure and leadership according to different theoretical perspectives. Section 2 provides reviews and applications of the most common occupation based theories including several new occupation based models and frames of reference for designing and leading groups for a wide range of populations.
Instructors in educational settings can visit www.efacultylounge.com for additional material to be used for teaching in the classroom.
Newly added sections expand the application of leadership skills such as professional leadership, focus group leadership, and team leadership. Current literature has been incorporated throughout, continuing the over 21 year tradition of education for all levels of occupational therapy students and professionals.

WILTSHIRE Council has organised a meeting for parents/ carers of learning disabled children and young people in Salisbury on June 30 at Sarum College in The Close from 10am to 2pm, to discuss provision for overnight short breaks.
Lunch will be provided.
I am very anxious that all such parents hear about this as then they can put forward their views about the care they would like in place for their children, now and in the future.
This could be in the form of residential respite care or specialist foster carers etc.
Wiltshire Council is going to be actively asking for parents'
views at this meeting so I am writing this letter in order to let these parents know.
I have been involved for nearly a year now - with others - over the proposed closure of Hillcote Respite Care Home and this appears to be going ahead in April 2015. Once it is closed the only alternative for residential care will be Canons House, Devizes, which will have limited capacity for south Wiltshire children.
Wiltshire Council plans to offer specialist foster carers locally but are not currently considering a smaller residential unit in or near Salisbury.
Parents need to let Wiltshire Council know what respite care support they would like to be available for their child, and I am assured that in turn the council is keen to hear these views directly.
Dr Angela Scott, Salisbury

When he ran Gucci, Tom Ford proved himself a master of the brand makeover. Now he's reinventing himself.
Only a year after walking away from a highly successful makeover of Gucci to try his hand as a movie director, Mr. Ford has reappeared with new plans for his own label, an eyewear license and a cosmetics deal with the Estée Lauder Companies. All of this means that Mr. Ford's name will be back in department stores by December.
"I'm used to doing quite a lot of things at the same time," Mr. Ford said in an interview, wearing a suit custom-made in London that he called "Tom Ford for Tom Ford." His shirt, as is customary, was unbuttoned to reveal a shock of chest hair. "I missed having that voice in popular culture. You can have that through film, but it is a long process and I needed to keep myself occupied."
During his Hollywood sabbatical, which he had indicated would be for the long term, Mr. Ford engaged the artist management company, Creative Artists Agency, to represent him for possible film projects.
Mr. Ford said he still hoped to direct a movie as he developed new products under his own name. "I wanted to make sure this did not diminish my credibility in the film industry, but they told me at C.A.A. that it was not a problem," he said. "Every actor they represent wants to have a fragrance deal and their own line of fashion."Continue reading the main story
Mr. Ford, 43, has been an unpredictable force in fashion since he and his business counterpart, Domenico De Sole, revived the troubled Gucci label with a tightly controlled image strategy that has set the tone for luxury marketing of the last decade. The duo worked intensely to build the Gucci Group into a $3 billion business with provocative collections and a series of designer acquisitions, but a searing battle for creative control with Gucci's corporate parent, PPR, led to the resignations of both executives. Few in the industry expected Mr. Ford, who publicly expressed his displeasure with PPR, to return so quickly.
Mr. Ford and Mr. De Sole, 61, said they would privately fund the Tom Ford company and its immediate focus would be the design of licensed products. The unusual alliance with Estée Lauder includes a limited run of Tom Ford for Estée Lauder products and the overlapping introduction of a separate Tom Ford beauty brand. In addition, the new partners announced that the Marcolin Group, the Italian eyewear company, will produce a collection of optical frames and sunglasses under the Tom Ford brand.
Mr. Ford said apparel, for which his Gucci collections received enormous critical attention, would be too much to handle -- for now. "To make a full-time commitment to go back to women's ready-to-wear with fashion shows is an exhausting, full-time job," Mr. Ford said. "I'm going to let it evolve organically."
The pairing of Tom Ford with Estée Lauder is a significant development for the cosmetics brand, which has been one of the top-performing names in department stores, though it has matured to the point where it may have trouble attracting new customers. Mr. Ford's involvement could reinvigorate that interest.
"Tom Ford is a rock star," said Robert Burke, the fashion director for Bergdorf Goodman, where a book party for Mr. Ford in October drew more than 600 fans. "This could make him accessible to a much broader audience."
Based on Mr. Ford's success at Gucci, he is considered as much a celebrity as he is a designer, leading beauty analysts to consider the idea of a Tom Ford fragrance as sure a blockbuster as the recent introduction of fragrances from Donald Trump and Britney Spears. Estée Lauder, however, may be a difficult brand to revitalize, since its image is closely associated with that of its founder, who died last April at the age of 97. (Mr. Ford said his grandmother wore Estée Lauder Youth Dew.)
John Faucher, a household products and personal care analyst at J.P. Morgan, said the association could counteract the perception that the Estée Lauder brand "feels older."
"From a strategic standpoint, this is a brand that has been struggling in relation to the rest of the business in that it has not been delivering the same rate of growth as their higher-end brands," Mr. Faucher said. "There's a lot of news to bringing Tom Ford in." He said that J.P. Morgan included Estée Lauder as a banking services client.
He estimated that the Estée Lauder brand had sales of $1.7 billion last year.
Aerin Lauder, a 34-year-old granddaughter of the founder who has been active in the business since 1992, encouraged the enlistment of Mr. Ford to reach another generation. She was appointed senior vice president of global creative directions of the brand in July, and has encouraged more approachable advertising imagery. She supported using a photograph of the model Carolyn Murphy wearing white pants, a popular fashion item across a broad age range in recent seasons.
"Anyone with a brand over 15 years old deals with the time continuum," said John Demsey, the global brand president of Estée Lauder. He described Mr. Ford's involvement as of "such great magnitude it will chart a new course for the Estée Lauder brand."
The jointly branded products, however, will be marketed for only two years and will cover not the entire Estée Lauder product range but more likely those at the high end, Mr. Demsey said. "We are building a picture frame, and the frame will feature Tom Ford, but the picture frame may be able to live with a stand-alone idea as well," he said. The company, he added, would consider similar partnerships with other designers, artists or architects on co-branded Estée Lauder product in the future.
Mr. Ford's own line of products is planned for fall 2006 and will likely include men's and women's fragrances and cosmetics. "It will be sexy and sensual," Mr. Ford said, "but maybe not as much in-your-face as Gucci."Continue reading the main story

I'd now like to turn the call over to our Executive Chairwoman, Peggy Yu Yu.Peggy Yu Yu Thank you, Maria. Good morning and good evening everyone. I'm pleased to report that during the second quarter, Dangdang delivered a solid performance. Our growth momentum is good. Net revenue growth of 53% was better than our guidance issued last quarter. Books and media grow 32%, general merchandise grow over 110% year-over-year and contributed one-third of revenue compared to one-fourth of revenue in the same period last year. Our gross margin of 13.1% in the second quarter was better than the second half of last year. Competition in this segment was also very intense. We benefit from the fast growth in marketplace, gross merchandise value transacted on our marketplace grow at much higher rate than Dangdang's own general merchandise. At Dangdang, in the first half of 2012, we continue to progress in giving our customers the best possible shopping experience. As planned, we made our efforts in fulfillment, product selection and the pricing to optimize the shopping experience of our customers. In fulfillment, we enhanced service in both Dangdang merchandized products as well as that by marketplace vendors during the quarter. First, for procurement products we increased our monitoring levels in core cities and managed courier companies more closely to improve delivery speed and services. As a result, the customer satisfaction rate went up. We are now providing same day delivery in 20 cities. Furthermore, we increased our next-day-delivery by 10 cites to 150 cities to reach out to more customer in offering our next-day-delivery service. On the other level in marketplace we improved the services we offer our third-party merchants. The lower costs fulfillment capacities at Dangdang help our third party merchants have the long-term ability to serve our customers. Let me turn to product selection. In Sale Procurement, we improved the supply chain management. Dangdang's merchandising department walked very closely with our suppliers during the past quarter. We came out with many joint promotions and a joint product launchings.

Chorley, Lancashire, United Kingdom, 2009/08/25 - Leading rubbish chute manufacturers AKM Fabrications Ltd, based in Chorley, Lancashire have found themselves handling rubbish in various parts of the globe this year.
Sales Director Joanne McMahon confirmed that they were now experiencing an unprecedented demand from outside the UK. We have always had a strong scaffolding company customer base here in the UK. Our rubbish chute range is extremely comprehensive with a chute for pretty much every application including bulk rubble, slate or glass. Where we have seen good domestic growth this year is with hire companies. I think because we are the actual manufacturers and not merely importers, and because we manufacture in such sizeable production runs and keep stock available for next day delivery, we have a distinct advantage in the UK. However we have been pleasantly surprised to see our rubbish chutes and rubble chutes be shipped by the container load to Scandinavia, Southern Europe and even to The Middle East.
The AKM rubbish chute range extends from a standard 20 inch to a 30 inch chute and top hopper, with Y sections, side entry rubbish chutes and fixing frames also available in each size.
Rubbish chutes are just one of the products that AKM manufacture that lends themselves very naturally to any hire company that works in the construction market, be that domestic or commercial construction.

Guerlain Secret de Purete Cleansing Milk Reviews
It is better for dry skins than someone with oilu skinI have sensitive, oily skin and I am always looking for a cleanser that won't irritate my skin. One thing that I liked about this product was that it didn't irritate my skin. However, it doensn't clean my skin all that well. After using this stuff, I only wished that I had spent my money on something else. As, it was basically the equivalent of washing my face with lotion. — 9 years, 6 months agoReservechic | 269 reviews

Wonderful for Mature, Sensitive SkinI use this product to remove all my makeup everyday. I massage my face and then tissue off. I wet my face and follow with Secret de Purete Cleansing Foaming Cream for a squeeky clean but not parched feeling. I keep the foaming wash in the shower for my morning face wash as well. I am Guerlain all the way especially with sensitive skin. — 5 years, 2 months agoYdabney | 15 reviews

London - Shrien Dewani, wanted in South Africa over his bride's horrific murder during their honeymoon, has been hospitalised after his health "seriously deteriorated", his family said on Wednesday.
Dewani, who denies ordering the murder of his 28-year-old wife Anni, has been receiving treatment from a psychiatric clinic but has now been admitted to a different hospital after suffering chest pains, his family said.
A British court has delayed the 32-year-old businessman's extradition until at least July on the grounds that he is suffering from severe depression and post-traumatic stress disorder.
Dewani's family said tests suggested that he had reacted badly to his medication.
"Shrien's health has seriously deteriorated. He was admitted to hospital last weekend suffering from severe chest pains," the family said in a statement.
"He also has a raised creatine kinase level, indicative of another poor reaction to the medication he is being prescribed to improve his mental health."
Anni Dewani, a Swede of Indian extraction, was gunned down in Gugulethu township outside Cape Town in November 2010 when the couple's taxi was hijacked.
A South African man, Xolile Mngeni, was jailed for life for the murder in December. Two other local men jailed over the killing allege Shrien Dewani ordered the hit.
At a court hearing in London in December, Dewani's lawyers said he was now a "husk" of a man due to his increasingly debilitating mental illness.
He suffers flashbacks of the night his bride was killed and is afraid to go outside or travel by car, Dewani's lawyer Clare Montgomery said. - Sapa-AFP
