Essential Tremor Support GroupEvery 2nd Thursday at 4:00pm-5:00pm
Next Meeting: Thursday, October 12, 2017 at 4:00pm
"We believe that our group members and our programs provide help and information about a condition that can be difficult and embarrassing," says group leader John Watterson.
Essential tremor is a neurological condition that causes shaking of the head, hands, and voice. An estimated 10 million people in the United States have essential tremor (ET). While not life-threatening, ET is a serious and progressive condition that can significantly affect a person's quality of life—socially, professionally, and emotionally. People with ET often have difficulty with everyday activities such as getting dressed, eating, drinking, speaking or writing.
Of 20-plus different kinds of tremor, essential tremor (ET) is the most common. Also known as familial tremor, benign essential tremor or hereditary tremor, ET is a neurological condition often confused with Parkinson's disease and dystopia. Due to misguided beliefs and lack of awareness, many people with this condition never seek medical care though most would benefit from treatment. This group is both educational and supportive., and free.
We meet on the second Thursday of each month, from 4:00-5:00pm.
International Essential Tremor Foundation (IETF)
The IETF funds research to find the cause of essential tremor (ET) that leads to treatments and a cure, increases awareness, and provides educational materials, tools, and support for healthcare providers, the public, and those affected by ET. Learn more about the IETF.

Which are the challenges of the corporate finance within East European emerging countries? Overview on the peculiarities of the finance mechanisms
The European East emerging countries represent an interest research topic both in terms of macroeconomic environment and corporate finance decision. Their evolution within the process of nominal and real convergence process requires a challenging analysis of the way the main macroeconomic environment affects corporate segment. This analysis will focus in a first stage on the macroeconomic environment, highlighting out the way it evolved during the transition process from the centralized and planed economy to the market oriented one. Secondly, the focus will be oriented on the corporations based in these countries. Their finance decision will be analyzed in comparison with the corporations located into the emerging countries and moreover a deep interest will be granted to their leverage, especially from the point of view of the way finance mechanisms can be valorized based on their balance sheet data.

Inter maintain pressure
Inter Milan demolished Genoa 5-2 with a stunning second-half display at the San Siro to keep up the chase of AC Milan at the top of Serie A.
Rodrigo Palacio put Genoa in front in the 40th minute, but there was no looking back for Inter after Giampaolo Pazzini brought them level five minutes into the second half.
Samuel Eto's grabbed a brace before Goran Pandev and Yuto Nagatomo found the target; Mauro Boselli's first goal in Italian football was a mere consolation for Genoa in the last minute.
Relegation-threatened Brescia withstood a barrage from third-placed Napoli as a fine display from goalkeeper Michele Arcari secured a 0-0 draw at the Stadio San Paolo.
Arcari made his first notable save in the opening minute of the match and was involved throughout to help his team gamely hang on to remain within three points of safety.
Lazio climbed back into fourth place by beating Palermo, handing their new coach Serse Cosmi a 2-0 defeat on his debut. Giuseppe Sculli scored twice for Lazio in the opening 18 minutes to fire the Romans into a comfortable lead at the Stadio Olimpico.
Palermo struggled again in front of goal and could not find a way back into the game, with the result ensuring Lazio moved back into the Champions League spots, having been temporarily displaced by Udinese.
Udinese, still not entirely out of title contention, went an 11th game without defeat as Antonio Di Natale netted a second-half penalty to see off bottom side Bari 1-0.
Fiorentina made a welcome return to winning ways with a 3-0 victory over lowly Catania at the Artemio Franchi stadium. Adrian Mutu scored twice in the first half before Alberto Gilardino made it 3-0 after the hour mark to dent Catania's hopes of clinching their first win on the road in 13 months.
Cesena moved out of the bottom three of Serie A and dragged Sampdoria down into danger with a 3-2 win over the Blucerchiati at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris.
Three goals in the space of five minutes, spread between the end of the first half and the start of the second, earned Massimo Ficcadenti's side a crucial second win in a row to lift them above Lecce on their head-to-head record and out of the drop zone.
Gaston Ramirez scrambled a dramatic 94th-minute goal to earn Bologna a 2-2 draw against Cagliari.
Marco Di Vaio's penalty had given the hosts the lead shortly before the half-hour but Andrea Cossu levelled and Daniele Ragatzu put Cagliari ahead with seven minutes remaining. Bologna were not finished, though, and Ramirez's late contribution earned them a deserved point.
Elsewhere, Chievo played out a 0-0 draw with Parma.

The family of a mesothelioma victim has just won their asbestos lawsuit and the company who filed a claim contesting the court's ruling has lost their case.
On Wednesday, the Supreme Court ruled in favor of the family of Enid Costello, a former Ellesmere Port secretary that died from mesothelioma after being exposed to low-level asbestos.
Mesothelioma is a rare cancer associated to the exposure of the mineral asbestos. It affects the lungs, chest and heart cavities and can take up to 50 years to manifest.
Although there are many ground breaking treatments for mesothelioma, the sad reality is that by the time the cancer is diagnosed, it's too late for patients to respond well to treatment. The window period to hope for improvement in the disease is a short 18 months after the cancer initially develops. Most patients don't discover they have mesothelioma until it's too late.
This ruling is expected to pave the way for similar cases of low level asbestos exposure that was previously believed to have no effect on a victim.
Enid Costello died in January 2006 at the age of 74. Her daughter, Karen Sienkiewicz, initially lost a county court claim she filed on her mother's behalf but later won in the appeal court.
Costello was believed to have breathed in asbestos fibers while working as a secretary at Van Leer as well as while working at Greif (UK) Ltd, Oil Sites Road, Ellesmere Port during the time period of 1966 to 1984.
The claim was against her former employer and The Court of Appeal ruled in her family's favor. However, Greif UK fought the ruling in the Supreme Court.
On Wednesday seven Supreme Court justices unanimously dismissed the appeals of Greif UK.
If you or a loved one are suffering with mesothelioma cancer or have been exposed to asbestos, you too may be entitled to receive compensation for your pain and suffering. Contact a skilled mesothelioma lawyer about filing a claim in court.
Mesothelioma attorneys will investigate your past to uncover where you were exposed to asbestos. If someone is discovered to have been responsible for exposing you to the mineral without protective equipment, your mesothelioma lawyer will ensure that they are held liable for your disease. With the help of your paralegal, you may receive millions of dollars in money damages and medical care.
Contact the offices of a leading mesothelioma attorney near you today to get started on your case. You have rights as a mesothelioma victim, it's time to fight for them.

Meatballs are always a crowd pleaser. The ones in this Italian Turkey Meatball recipe happily wallow in a pan of homemade tomato sauce.
When my husband and I lived in New York City years ago, we regularly hit various Italian restaurants around the city, from the authentic joints in Little Italy to the family-style place near our apartment. While we had our fair share of risotto and shrimp Parmesan (one of my favorites), what sticks in my mind is the tomato sauce. Simple, fresh and beyond flavorful! Even though I'm sure the sauces were being whipped up by some twenty-something chef phenoms, I liked to imagine that an Italian nonna was back in the kitchen, putting together our meals with a pinch of love.
These meatballs in tomato sauce remind me of those New York experiences, though I can't claim to have the touch of an Italian nonna. That being said, this is one of those meals that will appeal to everyone in the family, and is rather forgiving. Lopsided meatballs…no big deal! Too much sauce…fuh-get about it!
Typically when I make meatballs, such as my Baked Teriyaki Turkey Meatballs or Baked Turkey, Quinoa & Zucchini Meatballs, I make morsels that can be consumed in one or two bites. But these…these are serious meatballs. They bake in about 20 minutes, which gives you just enough time to whip up the tomato sauce.
These meatballs can be served over pasta or rice, or eaten solo – whatever appeals to you.

Ratings for Dr. Eric L. Hansen
Eric Hansen was my Dr. about 10 years ago. I just came across this and learned of his passing. My heart goes out to his family whom he spoke of with such love. He was wise, & good at his job, yet knew his limitations, advising me to seek out advice elsewhere for particular issues. He was kind, and he was genuine, and he was tough in his own gentle way. I'm sure he will be greatly missed by so many.
I'm left speechless after just discovering that Dr. Hansen had passed away. He was a wonderful man and a professional and helpful doctor. I would like to find his obituary if anyone would be kind enough to post it - or even the date of his passing. I will miss you, Dr. Hansen.
Dr. Hansen was a truly amazing psychiatrist. He passed away after a long period of illness and many of us still miss him. He was kind, knowledgeable and helpful. Whereever you are, Eric, I hope you are at rest.
Dr.Hansen was a wonderful man. Compassionate,knowledgeable,and truly cared. I seen him cry half way through me telling him my story. He was genuine. I am very sad right now because I have just learned of his death. I've still been waiting for him to return to work. I really miss him. It was like going to see dad at work for a talk. My sympathy to his family which he spoke of lovingly always. I know your pain I lost my husband and father of my children. Dr.Hansen you will be missed for a longtime. Rest in Peace xo Kim
In my opinion, Dr. Hansen is one of the best in his profession. He is compassionate and I just learned of the problems he's had with the legal system. I am 100% convinced he acted in good faith and I wish him the best. He has a great heart, he is professional, caring and competent.
Dr. Hansen is a wonder doctor and human being, very focused and willing to be innovative in his treatments. He realizes his limitations, that a psychiatrist does not know everything. His treatment by his association regarding the court case was unfair. He consulted with them before proceeding with his case, asking for their advice, but the association gave him none. The association was quick, after the fact, to condemn his brave decision.
Excellent psychiatrist. Wonderful human being. I will be missed. As for the case against him in the 90's, it is unfortunate that the media decided to focus on only one side of the story. It may be worth mentioning that he consulted for approval the people that later disciplined him BEFORE taking action.
dr.hansen was a special human being, his kind manner touched so many .bless him for all of his good to mankind. sincere sympathy and blessings to his family
Dr. Hansen is a remarkable human being, putting society ahead of his "above the law" profession. How many of us would do that?

School governors are people who want to make a positive contribution to children's education.
Governors are one of the largest volunteer forces in the country and have an important part to play in raising school standards. The role of the governing board is absolutely key to the effectiveness of a school. Time and time again Ofsted (the national inspection body for schools) has noted that the most effective schools demonstrate effective leadership and management - including by the governing board.
School governors provide strategic leadership and accountability in schools. Governors appoint the head teacher and deputy headteacher. In some schools the site is owned by the governing board. It is governors who hold the main responsibility for finance in schools, and it is governors who work with the headteacher to make the tough decisions about balancing resources. Take a look at our role description, What do governors do?
Each individual governor is a member of a governing board, which is established in law as a corporate body. Individual governors may not act independently of the rest of the governing board; decisions are the joint responsibility of the governing board.
The role of the governing board is a strategic one, its key functions are to:
The headteacher is responsible for the internal organisation, management and control of the school and the implementation of the strategic framework established by the governing board. New to governance? Read more about being a governor in Welcome to Governance.
The video below was produced by ITN for the NGA. It shows the impact that a strong governing board can have on young people's education, and how governors use skills from other areas of their life to help their school. It features the governing body of the Federation of Gislingham and Palgrave, who were joint winners of the NGA Oustanding Governing Board Awards in 2013. The NGA is committed to helping all governing boards be just as effective.
Almost anyone over 18 years of age can become a governor. There are no particular qualifications or requirements, other than a willingness to give time to the role and a capacity for working with other people. There are different types of school with different categories of governor.
The type of governor you will become depends on your situation; however all governors have the same roles and responsibilities once part of the governing board.
If you think you have what it takes to be a school governor there are a number of ways of finding schools that have vacancies:

Nanu nanu from Saranac Lake
Yesterday I was having lunch at Blue Moon Cafe in Saranac Lake and Aggie Pelltieri dropped by to talk up this weekend's Winter Carnival parade, even offering a sneak peak of one distinctly awesome float.
I'm forbidden to reveal details, but people are pulling out all the stops.
In case you missed it, National Geographic rated Saranac Lake's carnival as the second best in the world back in December. Not bad bragging rights.
The town is buzzing and so is our house, with wife Susan joining a new "Canoodler" drill team that will march and cavort in the parade with paddles while pretending to be from France. (If you come, that'll make more sense.)
My son Nicholas will march with the high school band and I'll be up on the judge's platform MCing the parade outside Harrietstown hall.
As NCPR's resident sci-fi-fantasy nerd, I've been thrilled with the theme's of Winter Carnival the last two years, Medieval Times and now Space Alien Invasion. What could be better?
The costumes have been awesome.
So if you're fed up with the lack of winter, come get your dose of Winter Carnival in Saranac Lake this weekend. Here's the schedule of events.
It looks like a good cold weekend…and even a chance for snow!

I am nineteen years old. My face is asymmetrical and it doesn't really bother me for the most part. However, my asymmetrical eyebrows drive me crazy! One of them is fine, but the other lies flat and close to my eye - which I think frames my face poorly. It's not a crippling thing for me, but I would feel more confident if I weren't always trying to compensate by raising my brows. If I were to take care of it, it would have to be something simple and non-invasive. Would Botox be my best option?

Botox for brow asymmetry
Yes, I agree with others that the best option for your brow asymmetry is Botox. After a few years of Botox you may be able to 'train' your forehead muscles to be more symmetric.

Given your age and the relatively minor asymmetry, I would recommend botox as the best option. You can selectively treat the appropriate target muscle and achieve the affects you desire.

Asymmetrical eyebrows
Botox may be a good option for your asymmetry. The injections would need to be repeated every 3-6 months. You may want to consider a more permanent solution which would be a unilateral or asymmetrical brow lift. This is more invasive, but likely will not need any upkeep.
Treatment of Asymmetric Eyebrows
First, remember that some asymmetry is normal - I'm sure you've noticed this when observing friends and colleagues. Botox is the easiest and least invasive technique to improve symmetry. Specific muscles can be injected n each side to limit depression of the lower eyebrow and restrict elevation of the higher eyebrow. Hopefully this meets your expectations so you can avoid invasive surgery.
Solution for Asymmetric Eyebrows?
From the photos, it appears as if the right temporal nerve branch, that innnervates the forehead, is weak compared to the left. This would explain the lower right eyebrow. Botox is a reasonable treatment based on your young age and this unique issue.

Botox for asymmetric brow
Hello Shanelainec,
You are too young and cute to worry about that! That asymmetry gives you a such a cool flirty look! Half my staff wants you nose, the other wants your eyes. LOL! But seriously, I see what you are saying.
To answer your question, some VERY CONSERVATIVE Botox or Dysport would work well. Maybe just about 5 to 10 units in your left brow to start with allowing it to contract a little less and even things out. DON'T BE oversold on the units. Start slow with a low dose. You may have to pay a bit more per unit but it's worth a try. It's very safe and if you don't like it it will wear off.
Best of luck
Chase Lay MD
Brow Asymmetry
Dear Shanelainec: If the picture on the upper left is your "natural" state, then I agree with Dr. Kass that you are contracting your forehead muscles asymmetrically on the left side. This is leading to the asymmetric, higher brow position on that side. If you are doing this subconsciously, then there may be another underlying problem that you are trying to compensate for by raising the brow: a droopy eyelid. If an eyelid is drooping [ptosis] it may compromise your upper visual field. Your brain often automatically realizes this and increases tone to your forehead muscles to raise your eyebrow, which in turn helps elevate your eyelid. So in summary, your brow asymmetry may be related to another problem, which can be addressed.I would recommend consultation with an oculoplastic surgeon. You can find one close to you by going to asoprs.org. Best of luck to you.
Asymmetric brows in 19 year old
It was great that you provided photos but I could not determine if the wrinkling of your forehead were because you were actively contracting your forehead to raise your brows (which is how it looked to me). A photo without active contraction would have been helpful. But I agree that Botox/Dysport would likely be your best option. But I agree with the last doctor that all of us are a little asymmetric and that it really should not be of too much concern to you.

Botox for Asymmetric Eyebrows
We all have some asymmetry in our face and bodies. What you have is not that unusual. However, it it really concerns you, Botox or Dysport may be a good option. I would try a small dose (2 units of Botox) under the lower brow and see it that gives some lift. More can be given if needed. It will have to be repeated 3 to 4 times a year but since the dose is low, the cost should not be too much.

Mirage 18 HPX Finishes First and Second in 2012 Redbone Series
In a dramatic, come from behind victory at the 2012 Redbone Trilogy, Cutler Bay resident, Ross Reeder teamed up with Capt. Dave Denkert in sponsor Wade Davis' 18 HPX Mirage to take the Series title away from the early leader Frank DeLucas, (also in an 18 HPX). Reeder, who did not place at the kick-off event S.L.A.M., was far behind DeLucas who won the Key West bonefish, tarpon and permit contest.
Reeder stepped up on the first day of Baybone, a bonefish/permit event, by catching 3 bonefish and a permit. All were taken on live shrimp from just a handful of shots in Southern Biscayne Bay. Using 8 pound braid, he carded all 3 bones from tailing groups in the morning. Fishing the same circuit on Day Two proved much tougher while attempting to work around dotted storm cells that significantly compromised visibility. But, during the very last hour of the day, a tiny window of light opened up and 3 shots at small groups yielded 3 quickly netted and scoreable bonefish, more than enough for the victory.
Redbone's weather was, for a change, calm and clear. Spending the first half of Day One looking for reds out front at Flamingo, Reeder was able to nab 4 drum on bait while sightfishing, after working ditches that recently had proved reliable, were virtually empty. A move to the oceanside of Islamorada produced two bonefish from only four shots in the second half of the day, both on a double header, shared with teammate Brooke Denkert.
With the bonefish in short supply, the obvious strategy for the final day was to bang out reds, and on artificials if possible for extra pointage. Working around mullet, Denkert poled Reeder to 6 reds on bait and 23 on jigs for a second consecutive win and their first Series Grand Championship.

THE biggest fibre cable-laying project undertaken in the UK in recent years is well under way on the West Coast.
It will deliver superfast broadband to some of the most remote island communities as well as the mainland.
Cable has now been laid on seven routes so far: Largs-Millport, Kilchattan Bay-Millport, Rothesay-Toward, Kilfinan-Lochgilphead, Campbeltown-Shiskine, Jura to Port Askaig and Ardgour-Onich. Teams are currently in Orkney and then scheduled to head to Outer Hebrides next week.
Loading article content
The subsea cabling forms a vital part of the £410m Digital Scotland Superfast Broadband initiative and will bring fibre-based broadband to many parts of Scotland for the first time.
The cabling forms part of the £146m Highlands and Islands project being led by Highlands and Islands Enterprise (HIE). Funding partners include the Scottish Government, HIE, and Broadband Delivery UK. BT, the selected private sector partner is investing £19 million in the area. The subsea project aims to deliver around 250 miles of cables to link island communities.
Managed by BT, the deep-sea work will be carried out by Orange Marine's cable ship Rene Descartes using the ship's submersible plough and remotely operated vehicles to bury the double-armoured cable in the seabed, where seabed sediments allow.
Deputy First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said: "This is one of the most ambitious broadband infrastructure projects ever to have been undertaken and will see 95 per cent of premises in Scotland covered by 2017/18."

text: Shame on me as a Texans Fan! Born in raise in Houston I was an Oilers season ticket holder from 1977 all the way up until good ol Uncle Bud took his ball and went to Nashville leaving me and my fellows Houstonian without an NFL team and holding a tax bill for renovations we made on the Astrodome for our beloved Oilers. IN HOC Bud you S_B! Shame on me for being so excited I could cry when it was announced we would get the NFLs newest expansion franchise and not the owners beloved LA market. So thrilled that I signed up online to purchase 6 PSLs on Thanksgiving when the first went on sale. So excited I attended the pep rally to announce the name of the new franchise, hell I still have the shirt tags and all from the rally. Its the first Texans shirt I ever purchased. I guess I drink the Texans Kool-aid, I have been to all of the preseason games, hell they bill be for them why not go, I attend all of the games so happy to have football back in Houston that even the losing I have to watch., staying till the end because the NFL in back in Houston. Shame on me for buying into the hiring of Charlie Casserly and Dom Capers and sticking buy them as they made decisions that most of us could not understand, telling us that we dont want any players over the age of thirty because they may not be around in the future. Failing to realize that veteran leadership is imperative in teaching young players not only how to win, but just as important how to deal with losing. Shame on me for believing with the hiring of Gary Kubiak who had played QB in the NFL, coached two of the best QBs ever in Steve Young and John Elway we would have a coach who could turn Carr around. Believing we didnt need another back because Dominic Davis was going to thrive in our zone blocking system. Shame on me for believing that the joke of an offensive system Dom Capers and his cast of offensive wizards could have been what were holding Carr back, the constant changing of lineman, schemes, coaches and philosophy. Shame on me for watching the changes Kubiak made; watching Carr complete passes with regularity; believing things were headed in the right direction. The same short passes that last year were often off target last year due to pressure or were the only option, this year found their mark. These passes along with play action were helping provide time for Carr and opening up the down field pass to Johnson and allowing us to work on our still week running game. Shame on me for taking each loss in stride, it hurt like hell but I would watch the games I had on DVR and see the positives and convince myself I could see the team improving. Shame on me for falling into the trap, watching the Texans put a hell of a game together against the Jaguars, doing all of the things it takes to win, believing this team I had watched struggle with each failed change of players, draft and coaches was turning the corner. Shame on me for thinking all of the so called experts and betting line gurus were just giving credit for being the home team, or maybe they were to busy wit the drama in Dallas to have seen the turn around the Texans have made. What do they know I have been watching this team make improvements every week and I know they can beat the Titans. Shame on me the Texans came out and made almost every mistake a team can make, Carr looked like he had never help a football under pressure, Andre Johnson dropped balls that the leading receiver in the league and all pro should not drop. Our special teams gives up a punt return to a low life thug, and we even had an extra point blocked. So here I sit, reading the message boards, what about Carr, our defense, special teams, next years draft? Is Sage going to start? Should he start? Do we need a back with break away speed? Why cant our defensive backs cover consistently? Well, Shame on me because I still believe? I think Kubiak wants to win in the worst way, I think sitting Carr took huge B*lls, you dont see coaches sitting their starting QB in NFL unless they are injured. I believe that not only shocked Carr but probably the entire team! Coaches always saw they will put the best players on the field and today Kubiak did just that. Sure next week he will start Carr again, but I believe Kubiak thinks that is his best option to win. I believe the sitting of Carr will make him realize this is it, its for real, stop the turnovers or he will be watching from the sidelines. I believe our draft class is doing a great job, Ryans, Lundy, Daniels, Williams, these guys are seven games into their rookie season and doing a great job for rookies! So shame on me! Its why I love this game, this city and its people! Its why when it all does turn around when we do finally kick the door in just like Bum Phillips said it will feel great! I will celebrate long and loud, I will scream and yell and probably throw things, because I love this game, this team and this city! I am a Texan!

Ted Forrest
A poker biography of Ted Forrest.
Cross-training, some experts say, is the key to victory, while specialization is the key to defeat. While the truth of the statement is arguable, depending on the field in question, no one can doubt that the cross-training philosophy has done wonders for the gambling career of Ted "Spooky" Forrest, considered as an excellent "any game" player but, by no means, a specialist in a particular variation. His WSOP bracelets were from competitions in different variants of poker -- quite different from players who have earned theirs from only a single type of poker. Forrest, however, has yet to hit the big one and win the main event of the WSOP.

Buy RAZR HAWK Neutral Driver Buy RAZR HAWK Draw Driver
Buy RAZR HAWK Tour Driver
Weight positioning is one of the most critical elements in a clubhead for delivering the most mass at the highest speed to the ball at impact. Callaway's new Forged Composite™ technology delivers a brand new material, giving engineers the freedom to position weight exactly where needed for maximized distance, accuracy, and workability. That's why they are calling the new Callaway RAZR Hawk Driver "golf's first uncompromised driver".
A result of the unique partnership between Callaway and Lamborghini, this new material is one-third the density of titanium, yet features a greater load carrying capacity per unit mass in bending. Because it's lighter and stronger than titanium, engineers can much more precisely control thickness like never before, resulting in a clubhead that's lighter and stronger than titanium but still has an extremely high MOI. The lighter clubhead also allows for a longer club configuration without compromising forgiveness.
Some more specifics on the driver:
A chemical milling process in the RAZR Hawk Driver selectively removes excess material for precision thickness control across the face to produce consistently high ball speeds for long distance.
RAZR Hawk Drivers have the RAZR Weighting System; Draw and Neutral configurations allows golfers to choose the model that works best with their ball flight. Select models offer either Draw or Neutral configurations.
The RAZR Hawk Driver has an Aldila RIP Graphite Shaft with optimized torque and flex characteristics for better tip stability, predictability, feel and control.
The RAZR Hawk Driver features streamlined surface contours to reduce energy loss from drag during the downswing. Callaway says they have reduced energy loss by 43% compared to the FT-9 Driver, netting a serious increase in impact speeds which will add distance.
The design elements tie in nicely with the RAZR Hawk theme with strong, sharp metallic lines and winged shapes, also consistent with the Callaway brand. It's hard to see on the screen, but they have also incorporated a foggy, gray camouflage-esque finish against the black sole. The face has a traditional silver finish which contrasts against the black crown that includes the Callaway logo alignment aid. Though not visible at address, the Hyperbolic Face is greatly distinguished from the black composite sole, defining the two elements as separate, conjoined parts; a very modern, non-traditional look.
Buy RAZR Hawk Fairway Now!
The Callaway RAZR Hawk Fairway Woods also utilize Forged Composite material in the crown, so again, a lighter, stronger fairway metal than a titanium-based club. Aggressive VFT® Technology is utilized to increase the size of the sweet spot to generate more ball speed for distance. These woods also feature stainless steel faces and soles in a traditional shape with a full length hosel that appeals to a broad range of players.
Forged Composite is the first collaborative effort between Callaway and Lamborghini and is featured in the RAZR Hawk as well as the Diablo Octane woods. It will be interesting to see how these perform relative to recent offerings from Callaway and to other clubs in this category. Whatever the results, we are likely to see more from this line over the next few years, given the extensive partnership with Lamborghini and the fact that they are just beginning to uncover the potential of the new material. The Callaway RAZR Hawk could be the start of something big for Callaway. Look for these bad boys to hit the shelves on February 18.

Coaching and Umpiring departments to trace bowlers with suspect actions
Submitted by Daniel Alexander on December 7, 2012 - 16:37
The Coaching and Umpiring departments of Sri Lanka Cricket are teaming up to smoothly run a system they set up last season to trace bowlers with suspect actions and help them go through a rectifying process from the 2012/13 season.
Submitted by Marlon Fonseka (not verified) on December 7, 2012 - 20:57.
Lot of really bad actions are now coming through the system and you can see many players with dodgy actions in the international scene. But I wonder if these guys will kill the natural, unorthodox talent we have been producing.

BUFFALO, N.Y.-New York's surprisingly brutal winter has created more than a few potholes, and that would include the cavities the snow and deep chill has left in road repair budgets.
Timothy Hens, president of the NYS County Highway Superintendents Association, says the larger than expected effort to keep roads clear has left less money for pothole patching come spring.
"We're gonna have to take a large chunk of our Summer money that we normally put toward paving and fixing potholes and use it toward picking up the overtime and the salt. So, factor in the double-whammy of the potholes and we're going to be behind the 8-ball."
That's why so many county and town highway superintendents gathered at the State Capitol today to call for an additional $50 million dollars for the CHIPS program.
CHIPS stands for the Consolidated Highway Improvement Program. It's state funding for local road maintenance projects.
For five years, the amount of CHIPS money distributed by the state to local governments did not change. But the 2013-2014 budget which expires April 1st, featured an additional $75 million. What Hens and his fellow highway superintendents are calling for another $50 million increase.
In Governor Andrew Cuomo's proposed 2014-15 budget, there is no increase in CHIPS funding called for. So far, the Cuomo administration is holding firm on that.
Hens says given the winter's impact on New York roads and the budgetary problems that came with it, the state needs to find a way to help. Without more state aid, Hens says local governments, reigned-in by the property tax cap, may have to decide what they can live without in their budgets in our to fix the roads.

Butler's turn
Former GJ Rockie looking forward to first MLB start
DENVER — Two years ago Wednesday, Eddie Butler was watching television, hoping to hear his name called in the Major League Baseball amateur draft.
Fast forward to today, when Butler, the first-round draft pick of the Colorado Rockies in 2012, will make his first big-league start at Coors Field.
Just like he planned.
"Two years was my plan," Butler said Thursday, smiling all the while as television cameras and microphones were pointed his way after he arrived in Denver. "I wanted to be up here in two years, and to be able to do that is unreal. I'm happy with it. I just want to get out here and help the guys win.
"It's a little crazy to think two years ago ... (Wednesday) was two years from draft day. It's crazy to think how fast it's happened, but I've made substantial strides from when I was in Rookie ball to where I am today. I think there are things I still need to work on that will be beneficial for me in the future as well."
Only 23, Butler got the call Tuesday night, informing him his days at Double-A Tulsa were over, it was time to come to the big club. He's the first Grand Junction Rockies player to make the major league roster.
"It was a little nerve-wracking getting that first call," he said. "It was exciting. I was sitting there with my roommate, just hanging out."
The next few hours might be a blur, but Butler appeared composed, yet excited, about his first major league start for the Rockies, who took a six-game losing streak into Thursday night's game against Arizona.
Manager Walt Weiss said Wednesday he hoped Butler would be a shot in the arm for the struggling ballclub, but his new veteran teammates are advising him not to try to be the savior. Butler knows he just needs to channel his emotions tonight and pitch.
"I just want to come in and be a part of the team, give the guys a chance to win," he said. "If I go out there and pitch six innings and give us a chance to win, it's going to be a great day."
He expects about 20 friends and family members to be in the stands tonight, including his host family from Grand Junction, Nick and Carma Brown and one of their two sons, Kyle, who is the same age as Butler. The two became good friends during Butler's Rookie ball season.
Butler will have more friends and teammates watching his debut on television. One of those is his pitching coach from Grand Junction, Ryan Kibler.
"I'm going to make sure I am someplace I can see that game," Kibler said Thursday afternoon. "I'm going to make a point of it. That'll be something to see. He's the first guy that was drafted and went straight to Grand Junction and was there the whole season (to get called up). We've had others on rehab, but nothing like this one. This one is a little bit different."
Kibler's advice to Butler tonight would be the same thing he told him before each start two years ago.
"He's got good stuff," Kibler said. "Just because his good stuff gets hit one time, there's no need to change. Keep going at the next guy, because he won't hit it."
Kibler hadn't seen Butler for a year until he reported to the instructional league after last season, and he immediately saw a changed pitcher. He said Butler was always coachable, and it was clear to Kibler he was soaking up everything coaches and experienced teammates were teaching him.
"He was much more polished," Kibler said. "He'd made the adjustment that the pitching coaches (at Asheville, Modesto and Tulsa) made. They were the correct adjustments, and he was a much more polished pitcher. He'd combined power with command and was locating like he had to locate at that level."
He's more polished, but he still has just enough swagger that should help him handle the ups and downs of the big leagues.
"Try to be even-keel," Butler said. "The roller coaster's not a good thing. You go out every day and try to keep that same mentality, attacking guys and give us a chance to win."
He knows today is going to be a high-anxiety day, but it's a day he's pointed to ever since he started playing baseball. And the fact he's facing the Los Angeles Dodgers?
"It's another team, another guy in the box," he said. "I'm just going to go attack them and give us a chance to win. I know they'll play behind me and score some runs.
"I think I'll be all right. I'm just having fun, and playing with these guys is great."
He spent his time in Tulsa well, refining his four-seam fastball and continuing to build game experience. He plans to "pitch off my fastball" tonight, mixing it with his curve, change-up and slider.
"Nothing special," he said.
The key is making sure he doesn't try to blow the ball past hitters, keeping it down so his sinking fastball sets up his slider.
This is only his second visit to Coors Field (his first was when he signed), a place he hopes will become his home for several years.
He had the media chuckling at several one-liners, especially when he talked about growing up rooting for another team in the National League.
"I was a Braves fan, which isn't good, because they're lining up for the second start," he said.
About handling all of the speculation as to when he would get the call:
"It's there. You see the things, people talk, you get asked about it," he said. "Some guys in the clubhouse are like, 'Hey, it could be next week.' Yeah, right. You've just got to put those things behind you when you get on the mound and do your job."
And when the lanky red-head, wearing his new team cap, was asked if he'll be able to handle the nerves that are expected for any rookie making his first start, he couldn't help but laugh himself.
"We're gonna find out," he said.

Secret Cinema, UK
Not only does the innovative Secret Cinema organisation (tagline: "Tell no one") screen films in locations that reflect what the film is about, it turns the screenings into atmospheric events. Emails alert members to time and place but the film is revealed only once the lights go down. Past choices have included classics ( If ... ), cult favourites ( Ghostbusters ) and exclusive previews, such as a screening of Gus Van Sant's Paranoid Park at Shipwright Yard, Southwark, London. A recent screening of Anvil! featured extras done up as moshing metal fans and a surprise performance by Anvil themselves.
La Pagode, Paris, France
Tucked away in a quiet area of Paris, La Pagode looks like the product of a dream - a tall structure in the style of a Japanese pagoda, red-walled amid the Haussmanian grey of the 7th arrondissement. It was a romantic folly, built by a department store owner as a gift for his wife in 1895 and used as a ballroom before it was converted into a cinema in the 1930s. Its fortunes have fluctuated but recent renovations have preserved the splendour of this strange temple to the moving image. The bill leans heavily towards independent cinema, favouring Kusturica or Almodovar over mainstream fare.
Grauman's Chinese Theatre, Los Angeles, USA
Hollywood loves a grand entrance, and the point of entry to Grauman's Chinese Theatre on Hollywood Boulevard - probably the most famous cinema in the world - is as grand as they come. Gawp at the outlandish 90ft-high Asiatic exterior, with its heaven dog statues and pillars pinched from a Ming temple, and you'll miss all the Hollywood history underfoot. The handprints and footprints set in concrete slabs in the forecourt belong to Marilyn Monroe, Humphrey Bogart and scores of other luminaries. The theatre, opened by Sid Grauman in 1927, has hosted three Academy Awards ceremonies and countless premieres.
Electric Cinema, London UK
The golden age of the British picture house has passed but not all modern British cinemas are multi-screen complexes. One of the best of the new breed, and certainly the most luxurious, is London's Electric Cinema on Portobello Road. The original Electric opened in 1911 but declined to fleapit-level during the post-war years. It was restored beyond recognition in 2001. The wide red-leather seats come with footstools; gourmet food is sold in place of popcorn (an expensive restaurant adjoins the cinema); and the programming treads a nice line between blockbusters, world cinema and arthouse fare.
Drive-in theatres, USA
That great icon of American movie-watching, the drive-in theatre, has been enjoying an unexpected revival of late, with 100 theatres opening or reopening in the US this decade. The country's oldest continuously operating drive-in is Shankweiler's, in Orefield, Pennsylvania, which Wilson Shankweiler opened in 1934. It was America's second ever drive-in (the first opened in New Jersey a year earlier) and has remained a family business ever since. Cars have been rolling up here at sundown, between April and September, to watch movies under the stars for the last 75 years.
Raj Mandir Cinema, Jaipur, India
The joyously over-the-top experience of going to the movies in India finds its architectural expression in Jaipur's Raj Mandir cinema, with its curving, zig-zagging pink facade and a vast foyer that looks like a surrealist's wedding cake. The 1,237-capacity auditorium is divided into five classes, each named after a gemstone. The best seats, at little more than pounds 1, are in the "Diamond" boxes but the fullest experience is to be had down in the stalls, where families eat fragrant picnics and take audience participation to the next level - jeering, cheering and singing along to impossibly colourful Hindi movies.
L'Hemisferic Imax, Valencia, Spain
Thanks to a new generation of 3D movies bursting out of Hollywood, Imax cinemas, whose giant, high-resolution screens usually show nature documentaries, have been enjoying a surge in popularity. The UK now has 13 Imax screens, including the 20m x 26m screen at the BFI's distinctive cylindrical auditorium in Waterloo, London. Perhaps the most striking Imax building of 371 worldwide is the Santiago Calatrava-designed l'Hemisferic in Valencia. This astounding construction, rising out of a lake in the City of Arts and Sciences complex, can open like a human eye, which it closely resembles.

Strong first quarter lifts Gunnison girls
The Gunnison High School girls basketball team started off quickly and never looked back.
The Cowboys scored the first 12 points of the game Saturday en route to a 57-34 win over Basalt in the Class 3A Western Slope League district championship at Palisade High School.
The Longhorns cut to lead to eight, 26-18 at halftime, before the Cowboys pulled away in the second half. The Longhorns were led by Ashley Soucie, who scored a game-high 12 points.
Three players scored in double figures for the Cowboys, while Soucie was the only Basalt player to crack double figures.
Cowboy coach Kevin Mickelson was proud to see his team's goal come to fruition.
"It's a wonderful feeling, there is nothing better than a great plan that comes together," Mickelson said. "That's a four-year plan in the works. We have a pretty good core of five seniors that worked their tails off to get to this point."
Mickelson also praised the defensive effort by the Cowboys.
"That's our MO, we get down and play defense," he said. "We had some success today, and some success with that all season."
Mickelson also thinks the win can lead to bigger things in the future, however the next level will be different.
"Anytime you're coming off wins, I guess it is our eighth in a row, it builds momentum," he said.
"However, regionals are a different level; different emotions."
Jac Lovato, who had a team-high 16 points for the Cowboys, believed the victory was because of the strong start.
"I think the past two nights, both games we were able to come out hot," Lovato said. "We were able to get on a run that paced the rest of the game."
Another key to the win was the Cowboys' 21-of-24 performance at the free-throw line, compared to 7 of 11 for the Longhorns.
Both teams move on to the Class 3A regional tournament, with the brackets being announced later.

This is not as deeply hued as the La Tâche though it rarely ever is. The kaleidoscopically spicy, floral and complex nose however is a good deal more expressive, indeed almost surprisingly so given that it typically is quite reticent. In the same fashion as the La Tâche one aspect that is immediately clear is that 2013 is an emphatically powerful vintage for RC with its dense, serious and muscular middle weight plus flavors that retain terrific delineation on the extraordinarily pure and refined finish that seems to go on and on. The intensity does a slow build from the mid-palate to the explosive finale yet for all the robust power and intensity the overall impression remains harmonious and entirely Zen-like. This is, in a word, gorgeous. Rating: 96 Points; Tasted: Jan 2016; Drink: 2033+; Issue: 61; Allen Meadows; Burghound
The 2013 Romanée-Conti Grand Cru was picked in the afternoon of October 8 at a yield of 17.5 hectoliters per hectare. I remember this was taciturn in barrel vis-à-vis the La Tâche, which is commonly the case, however here it sprints from the blocks thanks to a life-affirming bouquet of red plum, wild strawberry, cold wet limestone and black truffle that segues into something almost girolles-like, even smoky. Like the 2013 La Tâche, it is very mercurial in the glass and to that end, I stretched my sample out for 10-15 minutes. The palate is medium-bodied and very harmonious on the entry. Filigree tannin frame this wine, perfect acidity lending freshness and tension, here a gradual build towards a delineated, almost edgy finish. It brought to the forefront of my mind an actor about to utter the first line of a play. Give it several years in bottle before you start throwing bouquets onto the stage, for the performance will be worth the wait. Production is 312 cases. Tasted February 2016. Rating: 97 Points; Date: March 2016; Drink: 2023-2045; Neal Martin; eRobertParker.com #223

On Day 3 of Austin's SXSW Film Festival, horror fans converged at the beautiful Paramount Theater for the midnight screening of Sam Raimi's unfinished cut of Drag Me to Hell. Would that I went to every movie with this crowd. People came ready to love. When Ain't It Cool News' Harry Knowles, in orange Hawaiian shirt and lime green sneakers, wheeled out onto the stage to introduce Raimi, the audience members took to their feet at the mere mention of the Evil Dead director's name. In between Spider-Man movies, Raimi had finally found time to return to his roots. Standing ovation. In his brief hello, Raimi came across like an endearing dork in a square black suit. He pratfalled as he walked across the stage, pretended to confuse his prepared speech with an eviction notice from the local Four Seasons Hotel, and then he got his tie purposely jumbled behind his glasses like a blindfold. "Hey, who turned out the lights?" he wondered. It was like watching your favorite uncle at Thanksgiving before he decides he ought to go nap.
As the curtains parted, a couple stray bats swooped circles up in the dimming lights and the crowd geek orgasmed. (Unlucky bats? Yucky promotional stunt?) The movie (in theaters May 29), starring Alison Lohman as a cursed bank loans officer (ha!), was funny and silly and smart and full of genuine screams that ended in happy snorts of disbelief. The delightfully gnarly death match in the parking garage between a crazy-eyed old gypsy and the delightfully cast Lohman should make one of EW's inevitable future list of best fight scenes. IT WAS AWESOME. Standing ovation. Welcome back, Mr. Raimi.
Who out there is psyched for another Raimi horror film? Is there any way he could fail you? When will an old gypsy ever get to break typecasting and play the lead in a romantic comedy?

The AMD Llano Notebook Review: Competing in the Mobile Marketby Jarred Walton & Anand Lal Shimpi on June 14, 2011 12:01 AM EST
The Llano A-Series APU
Although Llano is targeted solely at the mainstream, it is home to a number of firsts for AMD. This is AMD's first chip built on a 32nm SOI process at GlobalFoundries, it is AMD's first microprocessor to feature more than a billion transistors, and as you'll soon see it's the first platform with integrated graphics that's actually worth a damn.
AMD is building two distinct versions of Llano, although only one will be available at launch. There's the quad-core, or big Llano, with four 32nm CPU cores and a 400 core GPU. This chip weighs in at 1.45 billion transistors, nearly 50% more than Sandy Bridge. Around half of the chip is dedicated to the GPU however, so those are tightly packed transistors resulting in a die size that's only 5% larger than Sandy Bridge.
|CPU Specification Comparison
|Manufacturing Process
|Transistor Count
|Die Size
|AMD Llano 4C
|AMD Llano 2C
|AMD Thuban 6C
|AMD Deneb 4C
|Intel Gulftown 6C
|Intel Nehalem/Bloomfield 4C
|Intel Sandy Bridge 4C
|Intel Lynnfield 4C
|Intel Clarkdale 2C
|Intel Sandy Bridge 2C (GT1)
|Intel Sandy Bridge 2C (GT2)
Given the transistor count, big Llano has a deceptively small amount of cache for the CPU cores. There is no large catch-all L3 and definitely no shared SRAM between the CPU and GPU, just a 1MB private L2 cache per core. That's more L2 cache than either the 45nm quad-core Athlon II or Phenom II parts.
Intel's Sandy Bridge die is only ~20% GPU
The little Llano is a 758 million transistor dual-core version with only 240 GPU cores. Cache sizes are unchanged; little Llano is just a smaller version for lower price points. Initially both quad- and dual-core parts will be serviced by the same 1.45B transistor die. Defective chips will have unused cores fused off and will be sold as dual-core parts. This isn't anything unusual, AMD, Intel and NVIDIA all use die harvesting as part of their overall silicon strategy. The key here is that in the coming months AMD will eventually introduce a dedicated little Llano die to avoid wasting fully functional big Llano parts on the dual-core market. This distinction is important as it indicates that AMD isn't relying on die harvesting in the long run but rather has a targeted strategy for separate market segments.
Architecturally AMD has made some minor updates to each Llano core. AMD is promising more than a 6% increase in instructions executed per clock (IPC) for the Llano cores vs. their 45nm Athlon II/Phenom II predecessors. The increase in IPC is due to the larger L2 cache, larger reorder and load/store buffers, new divide hardware, and improved hardware prefetchers.
On average I measured around a 3% performance improvement at the same clock speed as AMD's 45nm parts. Peak performance improved up to 14% however most of the gains were down in the 3—5% range. This is arguably the biggest problem that faces Llano. AMD's Phenom architecture debuted in 2007 and was updated in 2009. Llanos cores have been sitting around for the past 3-4 years with only a mild update while Intel has been through two tocks in the same timeframe. A ~6% increase in IPC isn't anywhere near close enough to bridge the gap left by Nehalem and Sandy Bridge.
Note that this comparison is without AMD's Turbo Core enabled, but more on that later.

sinigami - Tuesday, June 14, 2011 - linkthese prices, are definitively NOT in the netbook range:
$500 - thinkpad x120e
$550 - HP Pavilion dm1
$600 - sony vaio YB
who the hell would pay that much dough for Atom level performance? Reply
sinigami - Tuesday, June 14, 2011 - linkeven AMD's slower 1.0GHz C-50, costs more than the Atom in the SAME MODEL netbook (while benchmarking slower than the atom!):
$250 - Acer Aspire One 255 with the FASTER Intel Atom
$330 - Acer Aspire One 522 with the SLOWER AMD C-50 Reply
ET - Wednesday, June 15, 2011 - linkFirst of all, the (lowest) prices I found at Amazon.com were $250 for the 255 and $310 for the 522, which is a smaller margin.
Acer 522 has a 720p display vs. the 255's 1024x600. That alone is worth a significant price difference. It also has a HDMI port and a CPU (APU) that can play 1080p HD videos (or 720p on the internal display). The 255 is worth crap for video playback, a very common laptop use these days.
The C-50 can also play some games. Sure, older ones and at low settings, but it's something the 255 simply can't do.
In terms of general performance, the C-50 should be competitive with the Atom when it comes to web browsing and word processing.
In short, the 522 is so much better than the 255 that a $60 premium is really not a lot. Reply
sinigami - Wednesday, June 15, 2011 - link"But, but, the 522 has an HDMI port on it!".
Personally, i wouldn't pay $80 more for a netbook that is even SLOWER than an atom, no matter how much lipstick they put on that pig -- i mean, no matter how many hdmi ports they stick on that snail.
And they could stick whatever size screen they want on it, and i'm sure they would charge a whole lot more if they put a 55" on it, but i'd surely NOT buy it with a C-50 in it....
more bluntly: Acer could put a 1080p display on it, add USB 3.0, give it an amazing sound system, etc, and then charge $1000, but who wants a Ferrari with a Yugo engine? Reply
ET - Thursday, June 16, 2011 - linkForget the C-50 vs. Atom. Would you pay more for an Atom netbook if it had a higher resolution screen? If not, then fine, but I'm sure many people would. 1024x600 is too low for comfort.
From your post it looks like you're just trolling, since you stick to "$80 more" even though it's $60 in reality, ignore any comfort from higher resolution and continue to insist that the C-50 is "SLOWER" in caps even though it would beat the Atom in the 255 on SunSpider and probably other benchmarks of real world usability. So I think the prudent thing to do would be to refrain from replying to you, and I will try to do that in the future. Reply
sinigami - Thursday, June 16, 2011 - linkSorry mate, i'm just slow, not a troll... though it's easy to confuse dain bramage with trolling.
When i looked at amazon i saw their black one was "Currently unavailable", and the colored ones were $330. I didn't spot the black BZ465 that IS available for $310, so i cede to you that it is only a $60 difference.
My apologies.
"Forget the C-50 vs. Atom. Would you pay more for an Atom netbook if it had a higher resolution screen? If not, then fine, but I'm sure many people would."
That is a reasonable point. $60 is worth it to many people for a better netbooking experience. There is a LOT of value in a highly portable 10" netbook, with hours and hours of battery life, that you can toss anywhere (even a purse), and it does it's intended job of surfing and playing video (not 1080p, of course, but why would it, it has a freaking tiny screen), with a real keyboard and trackpad (and USB ports - take that, ipad). And with a dirt-cheap price, it's all smiles for "many people".
BTW, i did pay more, lol, except i had to go for an 11.6" screen (@1366x768), even though it isn't as tossable.... i also sprang more for an ultra-low-voltage, dual-core, U/SU chip, so i can have a little more fun, wasting hours on boxcar2d! Reply
ET - Wednesday, June 15, 2011 - linkWhere did you get these prices? The HP is $450 (3GB RAM, 320GB disk). The Lenovo is normally $440 for the E-350 version (though currently backordered). It's not rare to be able to get them for less.
This is still more than netbooks, but it's for a better spec and better performance. Reply
sinigami - Thursday, June 16, 2011 - link(sorry, i admit my prices were not current, the price has gone down and i haven't kept track)
still, that is getting very close to the price range where you can get a much better spec, and way, WAY better performance.
the performance that becomes available, for a few dollars more, first jumps to twice that of an Atom or Zacate, and then you get to the budget i3's, which are, at the least, FOUR times as powerful as an atom or E-350.
sinigami - Tuesday, June 14, 2011 - linki fully appreciate netbooks for what they are, and i know better than to do anything more demanding than play my 720p MKV anime on a netbook (yes, even the latest Atom machines can do this).
I'm just pointing out that, currently, with the Brazos and Zacate Fusion APUs, AMD is NOT hitting the price/performance spot that i expected them to.
the Zacate 1.6GHz E-350, should be priced the same as the Atom machines, up to the price of the Atom/Ion machines.
i was hoping for AMD's tradition of price/performance to continue, and that would have meant beating or at least NOT being more expensive than Intel!
and the C-50 is even worse! Reply
iwod - Tuesday, June 14, 2011 - linkI was wondering if they used the latest drivers from Intel, which offer some performance increase. And on the notes of Drivers, GPU drivers these days matter a lot more then Hardware. And ATI has had YEARS of Hard Work on their drivers. While Intel is working hard now, although in terms of catch up they are rather slow.
Which brings the questions, If Intel really did improve their drivers and bring extra 10 - 20% increase. The Liano doesn't look that attractive at all. Reply

Let the yard sales begin. To avoid antitrust concerns surrounding its $5.2 billion merger, Harrah's Entertainment ( HET) and Caesars Entertainment ( CZR) are laying plans to sell four casinos in Chicago, Tunica, Miss., and Atlantic City, N.J. But with the Federal Trade Commission and a number of state regulators closely eyeing the merger, as well as the one between MGM Mirage ( MGG) and Mandalay Resort Group ( MBG), analysts say there could be more properties put on the block. On Tuesday, Harrah's confirmed a report that it was in discussions to sell Harrah's East Chicago, Harrah's Tunica, the Atlantic City Hilton and Bally's Tunica to a group led by Colony Capital, which owns the Las Vegas Hilton and other casino properties. Interest in the properties is high. At least two other buyers are interested in assets, including one of the small-cap gaming operators, but Colony has exclusive negotiating rights. "If Colony seals the deal, the yard sale would be 'picked over' but probably not finished," said David Vas, analyst at Banc of America Securities. "We would still not be surprised to see additional properties offered in markets such as Atlantic City, Tunica, Rena, Laughlin and Lake Tahoe, as well as Detroit and possibly Las Vegas." (Bank of America does and seeks to do business with the companies covered in research reports.) Analysts expect a wave of casino sales in the coming year as both Harrah's and MGM try to comply with the FTC. Last week, the FTC made a second request for information about the Harrah's Caesars merger, which would create the world's largest gaming operator, just weeks after making a second request on the MGM Mandalay merger, which would create the second-largest gaming operator. Harrah's pre-emptive move to divest assets is seen as a good sign that its merger may win approval without having to sell off too many properties. In reaction, shares of Harrah's rose $1.12, or 2.4%, to $48.40, while Caesars rose 56 cents, or 3.8%, to $15.48.
