President Bush is expected to propose significant Medicare cuts in his 2009 budget proposal due to be unveiled early next week—perhaps as deep as $91 billion over five years. Congress should reject the lame duck Bush administration's efforts to balance the budget on the back of the Medicare program while protecting their insurance industry allies. Instead, Congress should focus on solid policy proposals that would deliver key fiscal savings to Medicare and boost the long-term performance of the program.
What's at Stake
In their most recent projections, the Medicare trustees predicted that the Medicare Part A trust fund—the fund that covers hospital care—will be exhausted in 2019. Unfortunately, the president's proposals will hit hospitals, nursing homes and home health agencies, but will not include widely supported policies for improving Medicare's performance. Nor will this budget address the underlying reason for program increases—the system-wide health care cost crisis. In fact, these proposals, which would ensure that Medicare payments would not keep up with providers' costs for goods and services, would merely force providers to foist these costs on other payers, accelerating the cost crisis in other parts of the health coverage system.
Medicare provides health insurance for 42 million individuals. Many people with Medicare coverage could not, because of age, disability, or both, purchase coverage in the private market. Eighty-seven percent of Medicare beneficiaries have at least one chronic health condition, while half of Medicare beneficiaries have incomes below $20,000.
Medicare provides an irreplaceable safety net for these beneficiaries. We have a collective responsibility to ensure that the program remains vibrant and financially secure. What's more, the Medicare trust fund is depleting more quickly than it needs to, thanks to the current payment formula for Medicare-contracting health plans and rising health care costs. These problems can and should be fixed.
How We Got Here
Last summer, the House made an initial effort to improve Medicare program benefits, control Medicare Advantage spending, and make systemic investments in building a value-based health care system. All these steps were components of the Children's Health and Medical Protection Act, legislation designed to reauthorize the State Children's Health Insurance Program.
None of these improvements survived the child-health debate. Subsequently, as Congress worked to fix Medicare physician payment rates, the White House threatened to veto any legislation that reduced payments to Medicare Advantage plans, the private insurance plans that contract with Medicare. We now enter 2008 with new opportunities to make long-term improvements in Medicare's financial health, but we face old obstacles—particularly the president's veto pen—to enacting major pieces of the CHAMP bill and other Medicare program improvements.
A Medicare Agenda for 2008
Instead of accepting the president's deep payment cuts, Congress should take coordinated action to improve the Medicare program. This agenda should include immediate steps to improve the program's fiscal health, as well as long-term investments to improve the health and financial security of people with Medicare coverage.
First, Congress needs to put Medicare Advantage payments on an equal footing with spending within traditional, fee-for-service Medicare. This single step would push the insolvency of the Medicare trust funds back to 2021, an additional two years.
Under current law, Medicare Advantage plans receive, on average, 12 percent more per enrollee than the traditional program would pay to meet their health care needs. These overpayments create significant incentives for plans to expand their coverage areas and enroll more beneficiaries—further fueling excess spending. With Medicare Advantage overpayments exceeding $1,000 per enrollee, or $54 billion over the next five years, this step can make a real difference in the long-term fiscal health of the Medicare program.
Other Medicare Advantage reforms should include curbing the marketing abuses and other bad practices of selected Medicare Advantage plans. Congress should strengthen Medicare's oversight authority and enhance consumer protections, including safeguards against unscrupulous sales tactics and fraudulent enrollment.
Second, Congress should also make the long-term investments in comparative effectiveness research and Medicare program improvements that will realize long-run savings within and beyond the Medicare program. To improve value and reduce costs in our health care system, for example, we must use the resources we have more effectively. A modest new investment in comparative effectiveness research—analyses that examine which drugs, devices and treatment plans work best—will yield long-term savings.
We must also redouble our efforts at preventing chronic disease and disability. In addition to improving coverage for preventive services within Medicare, Congress can eliminate financial disincentives for preventive care. Many employer-provided plans waive cost-sharing for preventive services, and Medicare can do so, too.
Next, Congress should ensure that lower-income people with Medicare receive the help they need to pay their Medicare premiums, deductibles and copayments. While the Medicare Savings Programs provide important financial help to lower-income Medicare beneficiaries, these programs fall short of their promise. Updating the eligibility standards—particularly asset tests that require individuals to be virtually impoverished in order to quality for benefits—and eliminating barriers to enrollment can ensure that lower-income Medicare beneficiaries do not face undue financial barriers to health care.
In addition, Medicare's mental health coverage has for decades lagged behind the program's investment in physical health coverage. Medicare beneficiaries with mental health needs continue to cover half of their treatment costs themselves—a coinsurance level that is more than double the coinsurance rate for other services. And program rules shouldn't create additional barriers to care. Medicare, for example, does not cover telehealth for mental health needs even though the program covers telehealth services for other ailments. Congress should finally fix these inequities.
Finally, Medicare program improvements should include additional steps to move Medicare into the information age. Medicare can encourage (or could even require) physicians to use electronic prescribing, thus reducing medication errors and overall Medicare spending. A more ambitious agenda could also embrace further adoption of health information technology tools, including a personal health record for all Medicare beneficiaries.
Beyond Medicare
By reining in Medicare Advantage spending and making long-term investments in prevention and value-based health care, Congress can improve the program's fiscal health while offering greater security to people with Medicare coverage. Some of these improvements—namely investments in comparative effectiveness and health technology—can leverage savings in the larger health care system.
But as a public health insurance program, Medicare will continue to be at the mercy of larger health care cost trends. While health care costs continue to outpace economic growth and wage growth in the United States, policymakers have yet to grapple with strategies for controlling costs. Until we embark on systemic health reform by providing affordable coverage for all Americans in tandem with proven cost-containment strategies and investments in value-based health care, Medicare's long-term financial health will be at the mercy of rising health care costs.

150 Years of Italian National Unity | (dot)history
(dot)history | A space by MANUEL D'ELIA
On the morning of September 20, 1870, the Royal Italian Army's artillery broke through the millennial Aurelian Wall, erected for protection of the Eternal City, a medieval symbol of inviolability of the Papacy. Consequent upon the defeat of Napoleon III at the battle of Sedan, the Pontifical State lost French protection that had allowed the continuance of Papal power over Rome, despite the birth of the Kingdom of Italy in 1861. Eventually, Pope's temporal power ended and Rome became the capital of Italy. The "Roman Question", which represented the opposition of Italian Catholics due to the offences against the Papacy, would have affected the political life of the young Kingdom until 1929, when the Lateran Treaties fostered by the Fascist regime allowed the resumption of friendly relations between the Kingdom of Italy and the Holy See.

Pope Pius XI stated in one of his encyclicals that "there has never been anyone in whom the image of Jesus Christ and the evangelical manner of His life shone forth more life-like and strikingly than in St. Francis."
He was born in Assisi towards the end of the 12th century, the son of a rich cloth merchant, and he enjoyed a carefree adolescence and youth, particularly with troubadours. He went to war at age 20 and was taken prisoner for almost a year. After his release, he became seriously ill which led him to abandon his worldliness and respond to the call of Jesus "to help rebuild my Church."

The Sunday Times calls the César awards 'the Oscars of the hotel industry' and the award is valued by travel writers, hoteliers, and guests because of the Guide's reputation for independence.
Describing the Mustard Seed in Ballingarry, the Good Hotel Guide editors said, "Warm Irish hospitality and superb food are on offer at this Victorian country mansion, where the restaurant is a destination in its own right. Angel Pirev uses food from the kitchen garden and orchard to help create his well-received menus, served in the deep-blue restaurant with wedding-cake plaster ceiling. Traditional-style bedrooms have fabrics and wallpaper by Zoffany, Jane Churchill, Cole & Son; everywhere there is carefully chosen artwork and furniture, plus vases brimming with flowers."
The Blue Book property has won countless awards since it opened its doors almost 40 years ago. Commenting on this latest one, proprietor John Edward Joyce said, "An award of this nature is testimony to the wonderful team here at the Mustard Seed. I am blessed to be surrounded by incredible people who are naturally committed to ensuring that every guest's visit is a comfortable, relaxed, yet amazing and unforgettable experience."

Tennis is a fun game, but it's more than that. It is also an excellent way of burning calories and maintaining your health. Tennis can be played in any place where there are courts. This makes it convenient for people who have no time to go to the gym or gymnasiums daily. Tennis helps reduce stress levels, which is very important for the excellent health of your body. We are here if you want to know how many calories are burnt while playing tennis. In this article, we will give you some extra information that you need for weight loss by playing tennis.
How Many Calories Does Tennis Burn?
Tennis is a trendy sport worldwide, especially in the United States. It has been played for over a century and is known for being a fast-paced game. An average tennis player, around 70 kg, can burn up to 220 to 295 calories per half an hour. This means you can lose weight quickly!
The process of losing weight through tennis is straightforward. We recommend you play singles, meaning you have to hit the ball twice as fast as expected; otherwise, you will lose. The best part about this exercise is that you don't need any equipment or expensive equipment to do it. Only you need a tennis ball machine for practice!
I think the best way to get started on this journey towards wellness is by joining a tennis club or taking lessons from a professional coach. Most importantly, you must be committed and dedicated to your goal. Otherwise, there won't be any results in sight!
Why is tennis one of the best games for exercise?
Tennis is also known for being very challenging to play because it requires players to be extremely fit and have excellent hand-eye coordination. It is not just about hitting the ball; it also requires good stamina, flexibility, strength, and stamina, making its players healthy.
I believe it is an excellent exercise for weight loss. It's low impact and burns calories quickly, but you don't need to play to lose weight. The more you become good at playing tennis, the more you lose weight and get command of all four tennis grips. In the beginning, you only play with the chopper grip, but as time passes, you learn the eastern, semi-western, and western grip.
Tennis players are known for being very fit due to the high intensity of their game and the amount of time they spend on the court. This is why some players may have a more challenging time gaining weight because they have an intense exercise routine in their daily lives already.
Is Tennis a Good Sport for Burning calories
Tennis is a good sport for burning calories because it has a lot of benefits. Tennis players can get exercise, have fun and make friends. Exercise is essential for body health and weight loss. All athletes should do some type of physical activity outside of school to lower their risk for disease and improve their health.
Tennis is an excellent way to build muscles in the body, especially on the legs and arms. Many people who play tennis or other sports have noticed that they have more energy throughout the day.
Playing tennis also helps people develop teamwork skills and learn how to work well with others while improving their social skills. This will help them become more confident in social situations when working or attending school with other people later in life.
Medium Intensity Tennis Burn
We will tell you that tennis is an aerobic exercise, which means that it gets your heart pumping and causes you to breathe hard. It also works muscles in your arms, legs, and back.
While tennis is a low-impact sport, it still requires a lot of energy. If you play doubles or at a high intensity, you can burn more calories than if you play singles.
According to our observation and examination, the average person burns about 100 calories in a half-hour of low-intensity exercise. The same study showed that medium-intensity exercise, such as walking or jogging, burns about 200 calories in the same time frame. High-intensity exercise is more intense and burns more energy — up to 400 calories per half hour.
Exercise can be done anywhere you can access some form of equipment, such as a treadmill or elliptical machine. Tennis is a very low-impact sport, meaning it doesn't require much effort on your part and doesn't take nearly as long as other sports to get in shape. So tennis may seem easy to burn calories while you're playing!
Tennis Calorie Burn / Singles
A singles game involves a lot of speed, like traversing from left to right and vice versa. Jumping and sprinting are your actions. Training like this is more effective in burning calories than low-intensity training. Since you are the only one on one side, you must handle it with a winning mindset, and the outcome depends on you; that's why you do more hard work and burn more calories.
When you play tennis, you need the endurance to hit the ball back to your opponent and run across the court to catch it before they do. If your partner hits the ball too far away, you'll have to run across the court as fast as possible to catch up with them. Endurance is vital when playing tennis, so ensure you're doing some cardio work before each match.
A single tennis match burns between 425-475 calories on average, depending on the type of player and their level of play. The best players can burn up to 700 calories in one match, which lasts about 2 hours and 30 minutes.
For an average male who weighs 200 pounds and plays tennis for 30 minutes daily, he will burn 636 calories an hour of energy expenditure. For an average female who weighs 130 pounds and plays tennis for 30 minutes daily, she will burn 372 calories an hour of energy expenditure.
Tennis Calorie Burn / Doubles
Now let's see how many calories we can burn in doubles. The calories burned during tennis doubles are much less than those burned during singles. This is because more players are on the court, which reduces the game's intensity.
The average person needs to expend around 2,000 calories daily to maintain their weight and have a healthy lifestyle. This means that if we play tennis for an hour, we will burn around 300 calories.
We recommend you lose weight, and it is essential to burn more than 300 calories daily. To burn more than this amount of calories, you need to be physically active for more extended periods.
What sport burns the most calories?
Tennis burns a lot of calories, especially when you play well. That's because the sport is so physically demanding. But it's also because tennis involves running and jumping around for long periods.
Tennis is a sport that can burn up to 17 calories per minute. The activity burns many calories because it uses large legs, buttocks, and back muscles that are not used often in other sports. The large muscle mass is also necessary for tennis players to move quickly on the court.
Many other types of exercise can be done for an hour and still burn more calories than tennis does. Swimming, cycling, and running are three sports that can burn more calories than tennis does in one hour.
How many calories do you burn playing tennis?
The number of calories burned for tennis depends on the type of court, your level, and the game you play.
Grass courts require more energy to play because they have more rolling resistance than other types of courts. The more rolling resistance, the more energy it takes to run across the surface.
Hard courts have more friction because they're made from asphalt or concrete instead of natural grasses like other sports courts.
Tennis players burn about 400 calories per hour when playing on grass and 300 calories per hour when playing on hard courts.
Most of the people playing for general fitness play for only 60–90 minutes. Tennis is a high-intensity activity. On a tennis court, you can expect to burn 350–550 calories an hour, or about 1/2 pound of fat every 20 minutes of play.
The key to burning many calories in tennis is moving quickly and playing with intensity—the more intense, the better. To maximize your calorie expenditure, try increasing your pace when serving, hitting balls, or running around the court after your opponent has hit a good shot.
How many calories do football players burn?
Football players burn calories at a higher rate than tennis players. While both sports burn calories, football players burn more than tennis players in a typical workout.
Football players spend more time on the field, running and playing than tennis players do in their games. The average football player will run around 17 miles during an NFL season, which is more than the distance that the average tennis player runs during their matches. The average football player will burn about 544 calories an hour during a game.
A football player's body also has to take care of itself while at the same time being able to perform well on the field. A football player's muscles are larger and more robust than those of a tennis player's musculature, so they need to work harder to get through a game or practice session. This means that a football player needs more energy than a tennis player to perform well during practice or a game.
Tennis players only have to worry about their muscles working as hard as needed to get through their matches and practices. Still, football players also have to worry about things like heart health, which can lead to severe problems later in life if left untreated.
How many calories do you burn playing golf?
Golf is a very active sport; it may take several hours to complete a round. Our body will use up to 300 to 1500 calories both during the course of your round and afterwards when you are sitting around or waiting for your friends to finish their rounds.
Golf is a great way to burn calories and is considered an excellent cardiovascular workout. Playing golf burns about 1.5 to 4 calories per minute. That's about the same as walking briskly for 30 minutes or riding a stationary bike for 15 minutes, depending on how long you play.
The average golfer can burn between 200 and 400 calories playing nine holes of golf, which is equivalent to walking 12 miles or running 6 miles.
How many calories does basketball burn?
Basketball is a sport that requires a lot of energy, so it's no surprise that basketball burns a lot of calories. If you're trying to lose weight or build muscle, then regular basketball practice can help you reach your goal of burning 300 calories an hour. However, there are some things to consider before you start playing basketball.
If you're starting from scratch and are not used to working out, then it's best to begin with, small playing sessions first. This will help build up your muscles and give them time to recover from the activity. Once you've built up your endurance level, then adding strength training can help you increase your endurance and weight loss goals.

Cheating looser getting a hardon with anal beads stuck in him making even more of a laughing stock of him.
After being mounted on a steel pole for everyones amusement and flapping wildly in despair while gliding down the thing with his ass the cheating prick had to dance with anal beads for half an hour. Then we had him lay on the bench like this so everyone had another opportunity to laugh at his pityness. It was so funny when we tried to remove the beads the looser´s ass would not let go of it and everyone really again started to laugh down at him because the more we pulled and the more it threatened to tear the more he got a hard one while looking like he was so ashamed he was about to burst in tears lying there displayed like this. Everyone just really only can just diss this cheating looser for being such a ridiculous joke.

We all have our faults as human beings since we cannot be perfect, and we are prone to make mistakes in life. It is only natural that we trip over life's unexpected events that occur in our lives, but it is essential how we react to life events that are rooted in pain, depression, frustration, and anxiety. At times we react from our emotions and push that onto the people that we love and care about by using our words as weapons for self-defense. Where not only do our actions and our words affect the people we love but also ourselves.
Sometimes in life, we are unexpectedly faced with the death of a loved one, financial issues, relationship problems, and pressures from work. When our loved ones reach out to help us when they see us struggling, at times we tend to fight back believing that we could take on the world with our whole body, which leads many of us to become defensive when help is offered. Our feelings of depression, anger, anxiety, and pain rather fuel how we respond to help and we respond from a place of hurt since we want to avoid being vulnerable. The fear of being judged by our loved ones leads us to sabotage our relationships to affirm our fears of needing to avoid vulnerability. This causes us to have responses to help such as: "I hate you", "Leave me alone", or "I don't need help from you". In the process, we are not only shattering the hearts of our loved ones by piercing their ears with a never-ending echo of our voice murmuring our cruel words, but we are also hurting ourselves in the process.
Our loved ones remember the agonizing words that we say as it plays over and over in their mind as if a tape recorder is being held to their ear on replay. Where they hear our voice on replay and each time it plays it further destroys their mind. Then once we do come down from our intense emotions we soon come to realize the words that came out of our mouths that were pressed onto the people that we love. In this realization, our hearts drop to our feet and we sink into the words that we said, and how our loved ones must have felt. Ultimately, then we tend to bind ourselves to those actions after seeking and receiving forgiveness from our loved ones.
As human beings, we tend to hold onto our mistakes and hold ourselves to our past actions despite changing ourselves for the better through seeking self-improvement along with forgiveness. Through means such as therapy, using better coping mechanisms, and learning to not commit the same mistakes of our past. However, we tend to hold onto our past actions and we ensure that we suffer by replaying our actions along with all the possibilities of ways that we could have prevented them, but this does not serve a purpose in achieving genuine self-improvement. Self-improvement relies on us taking action through shifting how we respond to situations, through how we communicate, and seeking forgiveness when we hurt the people we love unintentionally. Along with forgiving ourselves to provide ourselves with room for growth.
We cannot trap our minds in our past when we have actively sought to achieve change, as we are more than our past mistakes and the past versions of ourselves. Just because we made mistakes does not mean that we need to suffocate ourselves with a version of ourselves that no longer exists. Vulnerability and accountability, allow us to acknowledge our faults for us to strive for growth. In pursuing growth we learn that there is strength in acknowledging our faults, working on self-improvement, seeking forgiveness, and that there is strength in forgiving ourselves.

The New York Times has made a stunning, but sad truth about the Biden family's corruption, according to The Blaze. In an article that came out when Hunter's business partner and friend testified to the House Oversight Committee, the outlet reported that "it has long been known that the elder Mr. Biden at times interacted with his son's business partners."
Archer claimed that Hunter was using his father's "brand" to sell influence, especially while he was sitting on the board of the Ukrainian energy company, Burisma Holdings. While on the campaign trail in 2019, Biden denied that he ever spoke to his son's business partners, and instead deflected back to Trump, suggesting that the allegation that he was involved in foreign business was a "smear."
Archer went on to reveal instances where Hunter sold the "brand" and put his father on speakerphone during business meetings.
The NYT has reported that Biden's involvement in foreign business dealings is nothing new, prompting The Blaze to question who knew this information before the hearing.
Fox News Radio host Guy Benson took to social media to call this "textbook gaslighting."
The testimony from Hunter's former business partner has led to the White House singing a different tune. Despite years of denying Biden's involvement in his son's business dealings, Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre has instead affirmed that the president was "never in business with his son."
The press secretary's answer comes as reporters note that she has claimed that she has not spoken with the president about this issue. If that is true, The Blaze questions, then how can she be certain of her answer?
The revelations come as Biden's approval rating is underwater. But despite his 40 percent approval and 55 percent disapproval, Biden is the leading contender in the Democratic primary. He is currently expected to cinch the nomination.

South Santa Barbara County Economic Summit
Economic Forecast Project, UCSB – April 2015
I attended this program on April 30, 2015. Note that they called it an "economic summit" and not the more typical "economic forecast". There was not a lot of forecasting done. But that's OK; predicting future macro-economic events is a bit like predicting the weather a year from now.
I enjoyed this program as usual. It is a nice break from similar local events more geared towards marketing and provided a more neutral viewpoint of macro and micro trends for the Santa Barbara area with bits of wider information on California, the U.S. and the world. UCSB is a world-class university and this event measured up to its high standards.
On the local real estate front – now here's a surprise: high demand, low supply, rising prices, problematic affordability both on the purchase and rental fronts. Of course, we've been hearing this in an endless loop forever, so it's not likely to change.
Mark Flannery, Chief Economist and Director, Division of Economic and Risk Analysis at the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission gave a talk about the different levels of risk allowed between "registered" investors and everyone else. This was interesting as I had not realized the entirely different level of risk that is OK with those that oversee these things for people of high net worth and income. It is very expensive to comply with all of the auditing and disclosure requirements in the sale of securities to your man on the street, but your 1% investors get to fly by the seat of their pants. I don't know if this is a good thing.
By far the most interesting segment of the program was the segment on "Business in The Social Media Age" with Matt Kautz, Director of Social Media and Analytics, Walt Disney Studios and Lisa Jenkins, VP of Marketing & Client Services, The Marketing Distillery. This segment was moderated by Megan McArdle, Columnist, Bloomberg View. Megan did a great job of moderating this cutting edge segment and injecting great humor into the discussion.
If you are not involved in social media in your business you should be. The different social media agents were broken down as to how they might assist the entrepreneur in targeting core groups. Facebook remains the most important and versatile form of social media. Google analytics provides some very interesting data engines to comb all social media for mention of your company, name or interests and email you when a hit is found. Social media is essential in creating brand identity. Expect to spend two to three hours a week on posting and blogging in order to be effective. Define what you want to accomplish and who you are targeting. I guess that this is my weekly contribution right now!
Another extremely interesting segment was a presentation on the AlloSphere Research Facility at the NanoSystems Institute at UCSB. This endeavor is an effort to present visual data analysis in a three and four dimensional venue. Is your head hurting yet? Mine was.
This facility is a sphere located in the California NanoSystems Institute building (Elings Hall) at UCSB. The presentation example involved an examination of the decoupling of the Swiss Franc from the Euro that occurred on January 15, 2015. This move caused a 23% rally in the Swiss Franc almost overnight. The AlloSphere example was a minute by minute examination of this event from several axes. If your head isn't hurting by now, check your pulse!
Wow! I actually can imagine some applications in engineering and physics, but I am having a bit of trouble understanding how this would be an improvement in economic analysis which would typically be various charts and spreadsheets. As an English literature major maybe I'm not supposed to. But I don't care. This was a truly amazing presentation. I had no idea of the existence of this facility 10 minutes from my home. I wonder what other wonders lurk on campus?
So, how are we locally and in California? We are doing quite well locally except for the ever-present bugaboos of affordability and the ever-decreasing middle class. Employment has continued to click up quite nicely in comparison, but most job creation is for low-paying positions. Something that will warm some local hearts is that local government employment, the not-surprising largest local employer, actually decreased a few percent from the prior year.
We are doing far better than much of the world though. With Europe, Russia, China and Japan in the economic doldrums our historically modest economic accomplishments look quite good. Look forward to more disturbing news about the economies of Greece, Italy and Portugal.
So, guess what? We are in one of the most sought-after parts of the United States which is doing quite well thank you in relation to most of the world! That's got to be good news. And no one else has an AlloSphere to boot! I went away quite happy! Now to work on my blogs…

Connecticut Legislature Proposing New Gambling Legislation
The current wave of legalization efforts throughout the states is gathering strength, with Connecticut being the latest to reveal initiatives towards establishing a legal framework for sports betting, lottery and casino, a subject that has a history of controversy and division of interests within the state.
Money for the Municipalities
Unlike in the previous unsuccessful attempts to legalize online sports betting in the state, this time around the legislation measure proposes to distribute $88 million to the municipalities, giving them the opportunity to cut on their current mill rates, the property tax that Connecticut people pay that has one of the highest rates in the state.
New Entertainment for the People
The proposal also includes the authorization of online sports betting, casino gambling, and iKeno, the introduction of a new casino in Bridgeport, with the same capacity as the one jointly operated by the two Indian tribes of Mashantucket Pequots and Mohegans planned for East Windsor , and the setting of three entertainment zones, one in Hartford and New Haven, with the location of the third still to be determined.
Recognition for the Tribes
Most importantly, the proposal is re-affirming the partnership between the state and the tribes that has been lasting for almost 30 years and has brought in $9 billion from the casinos they have been operating since 1990, the Mohegan Sun and the Foxwoods Resort, and have turned them into one of the biggest employers in the state.
Focus on the Governor
While there is no division in opinions regarding the future role of the online gambling industry, as in terms of the overall competitiveness of the state, so for the opportunity for extra revenues for the cities and towns, there is one legal issue that seems to be the main obstacle in the process ahead, the state compacts with both tribes, as it requires for the State Governor, Ned Lamont, to re-negotiate terms.
Ready to Cash in on the Compacts
The two Indian tribes are convinced that the current terms in their state compacts give them the exclusive right to offer gambling, with sports betting being included under the same term, but they leave the door open for negotiations, obviously positioning themselves to sell that part of the exclusivity clause back to the state, mounting the pressure on the state Governor in the negotiation process.
Governor Remains Non-Committal
Placed in a tricky situation and trying to juggle between the state General Assembly pushing for the measure to pass, on one side, and the tribes asking for concessions, on the other, Gov. Lamont is taking a neutral stance, with his spokesman recently saying that the administration is currently looking into the proposal and is planning to discuss it during the forthcoming legislative session on February 5.

Global Implications
- Geopolitical Shifts: The mobilization of such magnitude has the potential to disrupt the geopolitical balance, leading to increased tensions and realignments among global powers. The response of other nations to Russia's actions will be crucial in shaping future international relations.
- Security Concerns: The global security landscape will be affected, particularly in regions neighboring Russia. Allies and partners of various countries will assess their own security postures in response to this development, which could potentially lead to an escalation of regional conflicts.
- International Diplomacy: The diplomatic fallout resulting from Putin's directive will have ripple effects on international diplomacy. Negotiations, alliances, and cooperation between nations may be strained or altered, depending on the responses to Russia's mobilization.
Global Response and Countermeasures

Duluth has selected Zaveri Enterprises for the Pine Needle intersection improvements at Ga.120/Abbott's Bridge Road. The company's $558,349 bid was the lowest of six for the work.
Engineers had proposed two options for this intersection. One would have realigned Pine Needle Drive to a right angle with Ga. 120, the other would convert the street into a cul-de-sac. Following input from the community, the city council voted unanimously in 2021 to favor of moving forward with the cul-de-sac option. Traffic that would have utilized Pine Needle Drive will be routed through the recently constructed signal at Ga. 120 and George Rogers Avenue and then along George Rogers Avenue to Irvindale Road.
Zaveri is expected to break ground on or around March 1 and be substantially complete with the project by mid to late summer.

According to Harper's Bazaar, Harry is staying at Frogmore Cottage in Windsor, which he and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, have been asked to vacate.
Harry's chilly welcome in England comes a little more than a month before his father is set to be officially crowned. It is not yet known whether Harry and Meghan will attend the coronation.

In his case against Associated Newspapers, Harry is accusing the publisher of using illegal tactics to gather information.
The prince has cast aspersions upon the British press before, according to The Telegraph.
In his memoir, he disparaged the media as "a dreadful mob of dweebs and crones and cut-rate criminals and clinically diagnosable sadists."
The Sussexes' ongoing war against the media is part of what Vanity Fair writer Vanessa Grigoriadis called Meghan's "strange relationship to objective reality," according to the New York Post.
"She has this warped reality, and then she marshals evidence underneath it to support a thesis that may not be the case," Grigoriadis said during a recent podcast.

"She was desperate for the press to be interested in her," Grigoriadis said, claiming that Harry and Meghan now use their combative relationship with the British press as justification for media manipulation of their own.

Crews will work with Callaway Electric's lines, poles and underground electrical locations (where available) to install fiber optics.
In places where we are installing fiber outside of the Callaway Electric service area, the existing city or state utility easements are used.

You will be contacted about placement of the box on the outside of your home along with where the fiber line will run across the property. Once this is agreed upon, we can complete the outside work without someone being home. A member of our customer service team will then contact you to schedule the final installation and activation. Our installers will need access inside your location to complete your installation, we ask that someone over the age of 18 is home at that time.

You can get a free email account from many different providers (Gmail, Yahoo! Mail, Outlook.com, etc.).
Callabyte's internet packages include free Wi-Fi service. Our routers typically broadcast Wi-Fi signals well up to 50 feet in an average home. The signal will be increasingly less beyond 50 feet. (The range will depend somewhat on the thickness and building material of your walls and other obstructions.) For a large area, or if you have thick walls, you can buy a wireless range extender to boost your signal. Callabyte can sell or lease you a wireless extender to help reach the wireless voids in your home.

Civil War in Yemen
- The Saudi-led coalition resumed air strikes on Yemen's main port city of Hodeidah after a lull on Monday as Western allies pressed Riyadh to end a war that has left the impoverished country on the verge of starvation.
- But even before the lull, at least 150 people were killed in 24 hours of clashes in the port city.
- The respite that followed coincided with a visit by British foreign minister Jeremy Hunt to Saudi Arabia to press for an end to the nearly four-year war that has killed more than 10,000 people.
- Western governments that support the coalition with arms and intelligence have toughened their stance on Yemen after the murder of journalist Jamal Kashoggi at the Saudi consulate in Istanbul on Oct. 2 sparked a global outcry and opened Riyadh to possible sanctions.
- Hodeidah is an entry point for 80 percent of the impoverished country's food imports and relief supplies. The United Nations has warned that any disruption to the port risks triggering a famine.
Geography of Yemen
- Yemen has some of the most fertile lands in the entire Middle East, and yet, for the most part, they're not developed to their full potential.
Along its Red Seacoast there's a flat sandy plain that extends the length of the country. - The Gulf of Adencoastline is covered by a narrow, rocky, and relatively flat plain, fronted by hills that rise into the rugged mountains, central and west.
- To the north of those central mountains, the high desert slopes down through fertile plains into the interior of southern Saudi Arabia, and the endless sands of the Rub' Al Khali Desert – the famous "Empty Quarter."
- Yemen's highest point is Jabal an Nabi Shu'ayb at 12,336 ft. (3,760 m). There are no perennial lakes and rivers, however, in the northern highlands some river valleys (wadis) small streams exist (fall and winter) but fade away quickly in the summer heat.
History of Yemen
- Yemen's history dates back to 1200-650 BCE and 750-115 BCE with the Minaean and Sabaean kingdoms. During this time, society in Yemen centred around trade.
- In the first century C.E., it was invaded by the Romans, followed by Persia and Ethiopia in the 6th century C.E. Yemen then converted to Islam in 628 CE and in the 10th century it became controlled by the Rassite dynasty, a part of the Zaidi sect, which remained powerful in Yemen's politics until the 1960s.
- The Ottoman Empire also spread into Yemen from 1538 to 1918 but because of separate allegiances in terms of political power, Yemen was divided into North and South Yemen. In 1918, North Yemen became independent of the Ottoman Empire and followed a religious-led or theocratic political structure until a military overthrow took place in 1962, at which time the area became the Yemen Arab Republic (YAR).
- South Yemen was colonized by Britain in 1839 and in 1937 it became known as the Aden Protectorate. In the 1960s though, the Nationalist Liberation Front fought Britain's rule and the People's Republic of Southern Yemen was established on November 30, 1967.
- In 1979, the former Soviet Union began to influence South Yemen and it became the only Marxist nation of the Arab countries. With the beginning of the Soviet Union's collapse in 1989 however, South Yemen joined the Yemen Arab Republic and on May 20, 1990, the two formed the Republic of Yemen.
- Cooperation between the two former nations in Yemen lasted only a short time though and in 1994 a civil war between the north and the south began. Shortly after the civil war's start and an attempted succession by the south, the north won the war.
- In the years following Yemen's civil war, instability for Yemen itself and militant actions by terrorist groups in the country have continued.
- For example, in the late 1990s, a militant Islamic group, the Aden-Abyan Islamic Army, kidnapped several groups of Western tourists and in 2000 suicide bombers attacked the United States Navy ship, Cole. Throughout the 2000's, several other terrorist attacks have occurred in or near Yemen's coast.
- In the late 2000's, in addition to terrorist actions, various radical groups have emerged in Yemen and have further increased the country's instability. Most recently, members of al-Qaeda have begun to settle in Yemen and in January 2009, the al-Qaeda groups in Saudi Arabia and Yemen joined to create a group called al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula.
