Event #65: $10,000 Main Event
Day 1c Completed
Event #65: $10,000 Main Event
Day 1c Completed
The third and final starting flight of the 2014 World Series of Poker Main Event was expected to be the biggest and best, and Day 1c did not disappoint. The Rio All-Suite Casino was jammed pack on Monday as 3,768 players (the largest WSOP Main Event starting field in history) took their shot at the $10 million guaranteed first-place prize.
Combined with Day 1a's 771 entries and 1b's 2,144, the total field for the 2014 WSOP Main Event swelled to 6,683 players, which was an increase of 331 from last year and the largest Main Event since 2011. That makes it the fifth largest Main Event in history with a total prize pool of $62,820,200 that will be distributed to the top 693 players.
After five two-hour levels of play, Eric Tracy and his stack of 206,175 finished as the biggest in the room, though Phil Ivey is hot on his heels with 187,025 after winning one of the last hands of the night. Others who flourished in the minefield of players were Ronnie Pease (181,850), Nick Yunis (171,100), Tom Sarra Jr (168,100), and Martin Hansen (167,250).
Day 1c was filled with action, but it was also littered with entertaining story lines and wild characters. Take for instance Pauly "Walnuts" Bianchi, who was in Chicago hours before the Main Event and gambled his way in thanks to three hands of blackjack. Of course there were plenty of sport stars in attendance including the NBA's Paul Pierce and Earl Barron; football star Gerard Pique; NFL defensive lineman Richard Seymour; and Australian cricketer Shane Warne, while Aaron Paul, also known as Jesse Pinkman on AMC's Breaking Bad, set the tournament floor abuzz as he was in purportedly in attendance to sweat a friend.
Entertainment aside, there was business to be had on Day 1c. One of the first to get down to it was Steve Billirakis, who was flushed out early. He may have been one of the first to go, but he was far from the last. Among the hordes that failed to survive were Sam Trickett, Kathy Liebert, Andre Akkari, David "Devilfish" Ulliott, Stephen Chidwick, Davidi Kitai, Andy Frankenberger, Tom Schneider, and last year's last woman standing Jackie Glazier.
Likewise, plenty of WSOP royalty saw their tournament cut short including former runner-ups Tuan Lam (2007), Ivan Demidov (2008), John Racener (2010), and Jesse Sylvia (2012) ; as well as former Main Event champs Greg Raymer (2004) and Jerry Yang (2007). Yang actually fell in the last level of the night when he got his short stack all in on a flop holding against Iaron Lightman, who had . Neither the turn nor river delivered Yang salvation, and his 2014 WSOP came to a lackluster end.
While many fell, plenty of notables were able to advance to Day 2c including Daniel Negreanu (129,250), McLean Karr (121,075), Gus Hansen (90,550), Haralabos Voulgaris (73,700), Robert Varkonyi (60,900), Amir Lehavot (57,750), Paul Pierce (60,400), Earl Barron (59,000), Carlos Mortensen (55,125), Phil Hellmuth (49,425), Daniel Colman (49,225), Joe Hachem (48,175), David Tuchman (47,775), Jonathan Duhamel (41,375), Berry Johnston (28,850), Gerard Pique (23,325), and Scotty Nguyen (8,000).
All of those players will return at 12 p.m. local time on Wednesday, July 9 for five more levels of play. Before then though are both Day 2a and 2b, which will play out simultaneously at 12 p.m. local time on Tuesday, July 8. Of course the PokerNews Live Reporting Team will be on hand to bring you all the action from all the Day 2 flights as well as full coverage on the way to this year's November Nine.
We'll see you in less than 12 hours for more poker action, but in the meantime check out the latest edition of Ivey Stories where Pat and Mel Humphries talk about following Ivey from the beginning.
Tom Dwan finished the last hand of the night but he didn't have to wait around for the 'bagging and tagging' process.
On the final hand of the night Dwan played a pot for his tournament life and that didn't go so well. Dwan ended up getting check-raised all in on the river and he called it off with two pair on a board.
The turn had brought out a third heart and that had given Snickles a flush with . Dwan's ended up in the muck, just as his World Series of Poker Main Event aspirations.

Phil Ivey raised to 900 in the cutoff seat, the player on the button reraised to 2,300, and Ivey called to see a flop. Ivey checked to his opponent, who bet 2,100. Ivey check-raised to 10,000, and after a few moments his opponent reraised all in for 12,100.
Ivey called with the for a straight, leading his opponent's for a Broadway draw. The turn and river locked up the pot for Ivey, who just may very well be the Day 1c chip leader following this pot.
|Phil Ivey
NBA star Paul Pierce has opted to forgo that last few minutes of play today and jet out of here early. With 15 minutes left on the clock for the night (the clock would be paused with 10 minutes left in the level to play an equal amount of hands at each table), Pierce took off with just under 61,000 left in his stack. He'll miss a few hands, plus lose some blinds and antes, but a near-double starting stack heading into Day 2 was something he seemed pleased about.
Headed out ended day not bad 60k check out where that placed me on day 1 pokernews.com see ya on day 2Follow @paulpierce34

A player shoved all in for about 4,000 at Nick Yunis' table, and action folded to Yunis in the big blind. He considered for a bit before making what appeared to be a somewhat reluctant call.
Yunis failed to hit anything as the board came , giving his opponent a boat and taking a small chunk of out of Yunis' monster stack.
|Nick Yunis
"Can I hug you?" a big Tom Dwan fan just said as she stood side by side with her idol.
Dwan, who laughed, put his arm around the tiny girl who showed an even bigger smile as her boyfriend took a few quick photos.
"Sorry for disturbing you, but we wanted to get a photo before you're going back to Macau," the boyfriend said.
"This is one of the first times I've seen him smile on one of these photos," Aguiar said while laughing uncontrollably. "Usually I'm the one taking these photos and I charge $20, so you're lucky," Aguiar.
Aguiar recalled what had happened before we arrived and said, "Her boyfriend came up to Dwan and said that his girlfriend is a big fan, she was too shocked to say anything," Aguiar said with a big smile.
The atmosphere at the table remained very jovial as Dwan had a hard time not to laugh playing the next hand he was dealt.
The tournament staff has just announced that the remaining players will play five more hands at each table before bagging and tagging for the night. We're headed out to catch any last-minute action and to compile a list of chips counts. Stay tuned for those as well as a full recap of the Day 1c action.
On the former table of Calvin Anderson and Andy Frankenberger we've just spotted Brad Booth sitting on a big stack and Finnish poker phenom Jens Kyllonen.

This November, 2013 post by Magnus Olsson on his site, titled Humanity May Be Implanted with Transhumanist Remote Neural Monitoring Implants discusses how chemical aerosols being sprayed on global populations contain nanotechnology "microdust" which is being breathed into our bodies, traverses the blood-brain barrier, and lodges in human brains at key spots, replacing and transforming human-brain neural networks. Satellite networks, scalar waves, HAARP transmissions, nanobot neural networks, and quantum supercomputing combine today to link all human brains into a supergrid that can be manipulated by Artificial Intelligence (AI) for global brain entrainment, control, and enslavement–this is already underway, he notes, and, as per this (2013) assessment, 80% of humanity is already implanted.
The targeting of individuals worldwide, therefore, with covert assault technologies which include Remote Neural Monitoring and covert RFID implants, is a AI-controlled phenomenon being run by the NSA/joint Intel cartel to test and fine-tune these global entrainment technologies. (Just as an aside, more recent videos of William Binney's talks show him talking about how NSA's Echelon/Prism network systems are being sold to governments worldwide and how fiber-optic data/voice networks are being tapped in order to collect information on people worldwide, primarily to determine what people the planet over are thinking, see this video on Youtube which records him speaking at the Covert Harassment Conference in Brussels in 2014.) However, it's not merely the numbers of "Targeted Individuals" who are being tested on; everyone alive is being tested on and entrained via the nanotech aerosols, named Microdust Weaponry by the military.
Google executive Ray Kurzweil's transhumanist agenda seeks to robotize, transhumanize, and immortalize humans, explains Magnus Olsson, in his interview with Alfred Webre. (Also see this post of his which posts a 2-minute video of Mr. Kurzweil discoursing on his manic dream of making humans Godlike by mutilating us–without our consent–with radio-frequency emitting/receiving nanotechnology; there is a careful–and highly questionable–cover story of love, lovingness, spirituality, and God-like qualities supposedly emanating from and being enhanced in the neocortex via connected human brains and cloud computing being proffered here.) Bill Gates, Magnus mentions, holds an astonishing patent for the human body as antenna–made possible by nanotechnology.
Two interviews are posted there, one with Alfred Lambremont Webre of NewsInsideOut, the other with Daniel Estulin of RT TV. Please click over there for the full post.
"VANCOUVER, BC – In an interview with Alfred Lambremont Webre, Magnus Olsson, Director of the European Coalition Against Covert Harassment (EUCACH.ORG) disclosed that one of the scientists whom he consulted has estimated that 80% of humanity may already be implanted with Transhumanist control nano-bot implants for remote neural monitoring, mind control.
In the interview, Magnus Olsson details how scalar waves and the use of super quantum computers in the quantum cloud to control "pipes," a reference to the brains of humans that have been taken over via DNA banks or via implants that can be breathed in from chemtrail aerosols can breach the blood-brain barrier and then controlled by artificial intelligence (AI) via scalar waves on a super-grid. Over 1000 grids worldwide are now connected into a mind control super grid that is connected to HAARP as a master planetary AI remote neural monitoring, mind control machine that is implementing a Transhumanist agenda for global enslavement."

Rightware Android benchmark lists "Google Asus Nexus 7" device
In one inconspicuous little benchmark table, two previously unconfirmed rumors seem to be more than likely as though they're the real deal – first, that Google is in fact working on putting its stamp of approval an an Android tablet, and second that the tablet in question will be manufactured by Asus. Rightware's Power Board now lists a "Google Asus Nexus 7" device with an Nvidia Tegra 3 processor and 720p resolution that sure looks like what we've been expecting.
It's believed the device will carry the "Nexus" name, which has been used in the naming of every Android phone that Google has had an active hand in developing. Although the Nexus phones are seen as one streamlined line of devices, they've been made by different manufacturers and available on different carriers so Google doesn't look like it's playing favorites.
It's been rumored for some time that Google was also toiling behind-the-scenes to come up with a Nexus-branded tablet, but the question of which manufacturer would get the honors has been largely mysterious. Earlier this year, it came out of the woodwork that Asus might the manufacturer of choice, since it is well known for creating low-cost electronics. It was also reported that the tablet is likely to cost between $150 and $200.

The best thing one can do is begin putting time in temporary positions as ahead of schedule as they can; when they will be prepared to apply for an occupation they will have enough important experience and weight in their employment ask. The early you begin the better. Continuously know your interests and discover what you are great at. You can get help from coursework writing services as well. A few people may like improving material science. You have to concentrate more on what you are great at on the off chance that you require a down to earth counsel.
Second is to not quit envisioning, never quit addressing, exploring and examining. One must not get to be stagnant and should dependably flourish to perform better. The creative ability process ought to never stop and that is the reason organizations require individuals as opposed to putting resources into creating programming and bots to take the necessary steps and slicing the costs down the middle. Continuously make inquiries. Before you put yourself out there and begin work chase, inquire as to whether you will procure yourself, dependably know the response to 'why should we enlist you' or 'why do you think this occupation is reasonable for you' these inquiries will be there till the end of time.
As much as organizations need to contract individuals to work for them, they need to contract brains that can bring them new thoughts. This is genuine that the more responsible you were in you college, the more your occupation is readily available, and recently procured individuals are under the weight of more established staff since they have been around for more.However the new individuals have more up to date and fresher thoughts which the more seasoned ones don't have.
New and new individuals will dependably have their own place and regardless of how troublesome occupation chasing and begin if an expert life is, they are constantly needed, and there is dependably a spot for each person out there who is concentrating on, doing their entry level position or during the time spent searching for a vocation.

WOW - The Big Picture 4/28
April 28, 2023
April 28
Division of the Monarchy
1 Kings 11:26-43; Psalms 50:1-3; Proverbs 12:27
Then Solomon's servant, Jeroboam the son of Nebat, an Ephraimite from Zereda, whose mother's name was Zeruah, a widow, also rebelled against the king.
And this is what caused him to rebel against the king: Solomon had built the Millo and repaired the damages to the City of David his father. The man Jeroboam was a mighty man of valor; and Solomon, seeing that the young man was industrious, made him the officer over all the labor force of the house of Joseph.
Now it happened at that time, when Jeroboam went out of Jerusalem, that the prophet Ahijah the Shilonite met him on the way; and he had clothed himself with a new garment, and the two were alone in the field. Then Ahijah took hold of the new garment that was on him, and tore it into twelve pieces. And he said to Jeroboam, "Take for yourself ten pieces, for thus says the LORD, the God of Israel: 'Behold, I will tear the kingdom out of the hand of Solomon and will give ten tribes to you (but he shall have one tribe for the sake of My servant David, and for the sake of Jerusalem, the city which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel), because they have forsaken Me, and worshiped Ashtoreth the goddess of the Sidonians, Chemosh the god of the Moabites, and Milcom the god of the people of Ammon, and have not walked in My ways to do what is right in My eyes and keep My statutes and My judgments, as did his father David. However I will not take the whole kingdom out of his hand, because I have made him ruler all the days of his life for the sake of My servant David, whom I chose because he kept My commandments and My statutes. But I will take the kingdom out of his son's hand and give it to you-ten tribes. And to his son I will give one tribe, that My servant David may always have a lamp before Me in Jerusalem, the city which I have chosen for Myself, to put My name there. So I will take you, and you shall reign over all your heart desires, and you shall be king over Israel. Then it shall be, if you heed all that I command you, walk in My ways, and do what is right in My sight, to keep My statutes and My commandments, as My servant David did, then I will be with you and build for you an enduring house, as I built for David, and will give Israel to you. And I will afflict the descendants of David because of this, but not forever.'"
Solomon therefore sought to kill Jeroboam. But Jeroboam arose and fled to Egypt, to Shishak king of Egypt, and was in Egypt until the death of Solomon.
Now the rest of the acts of Solomon, all that he did, and his wisdom, are they not written in the book of the acts of Solomon? And the period that Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel was forty years. Then Solomon rested with his fathers, and was buried in the City of David his father. And Rehoboam his son reigned in his place.
And Rehoboam went to Shechem, for all Israel had gone to Shechem to make him king. So it happened, when Jeroboam the son of Nebat heard it (he was still in Egypt, for he had fled from the presence of King Solomon and had been dwelling in Egypt), that they sent and called him. Then Jeroboam and the whole assembly of Israel came and spoke to Rehoboam, saying, "Your father made our yoke heavy; now therefore, lighten the burdensome service of your father, and his heavy yoke which he put on us, and we will serve you."
So he said to them, "Depart for three days, then come back to me." And the people departed.
Then King Rehoboam consulted the elders who stood before his father Solomon while he still lived, and he said, "How do you advise me to answer these people?"
And they spoke to him, saying, "If you will be a servant to these people today, and serve them, and answer them, and speak good words to them, then they will be your servants forever."
But he rejected the advice which the elders had given him, and consulted the young men who had grown up with him, who stood before him. And he said to them, "What advice do you give? How should we answer this people who have spoken to me, saying, 'Lighten the yoke which your father put on us'?" Then the young men who had grown up with him spoke to him, saying, "Thus you should speak to this people who have spoken to you, saying, 'Your father made our yoke heavy, but you make it lighter on us'-thus you shall say to them: 'My little finger shall be thicker than my father's waist! And now, whereas my father put a heavy yoke on you, I will add to your yoke; my father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scourges!'" So Jeroboam and all the people came to Rehoboam the third day, as the king had directed, saying, "Come back to me the third day." Then the king answered the people roughly, and rejected the advice which the elders had given him; and he spoke to them according to the advice of the young men, saying, "My father made your yoke heavy, but I will add to your yoke; my father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scourges!" So the king did not listen to the people; for the turn of events was from the LORD, that He might fulfill His word, which the LORD had spoken by Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam the son of Nebat.
Now when all Israel saw that the king did not listen to them, the people answered the king, saying:
"What share have we in David?
We have no inheritance in the son of Jesse.
To your tents, O Israel!
Now, see to your own house, O David!"
So Israel departed to their tents. But Rehoboam reigned over the children of Israel who dwelt in the cities of Judah.
Then King Rehoboam sent Adoram, who was in charge of the revenue; but all Israel stoned him with stones, and he died. Therefore King Rehoboam mounted his chariot in haste to flee to Jerusalem. So Israel has been in rebellion against the house of David to this day.
Now it came to pass when all Israel heard that Jeroboam had come back, they sent for him and called him to the congregation, and made him king over all Israel. There was none who followed the house of David, but the tribe of Judah only.
1 Kings 11:26-12
The Mighty One, God the LORD,
Has spoken and called the earth
From the rising of the sun to its going down.
Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty,
God will shine forth.
Our God shall come, and shall not keep silent;
A fire shall devour before Him,
And it shall be very tempestuous all around Him.
Psalm 50:1-3
The lazy man does not roast what he took in hunting,
But diligence is man's precious possession.

It's estimated that at least one in nine women experience postpartum depression- medication available for these new moms takes weeks to take effect. There's now a new drug being considered – the first ever specifically for postpartum depression – that may work faster and more effectively. Health reporter Erin Billups brings us the details....
It was six weeks after Sarah Sydney delivered her son Thomas that she experienced symptoms of postpartum depression.
"My husband would leave in the morning and I'd be weeping and he'd get home at 6 p.m. and I'd still be weeping, and he'd say, 'Were you like this all day?" And I would say no, but the answer was yes," said Sydney.
Her symptoms improved about a year later, but she didn't get treatment until after the birth of her second child, when feelings of rage emerged.
"The way I look at it is, my brain chemistry is just a little bit off and needs a little adjustment. And if medication can help me get there, then I'm going to do that," she said.
Antidepressants is the standard treatment for postpartum depression, along with psychotherapy. While prescription drugs work for some, it can take four to six weeks for the medication to kick in.
"When someone comes in and the family is in crisis, saying this will start to get better, you know, six weeks from now seems like an eternity," said Dr. Samantha Meltzer-Brody, perinatal psychiatry program director at UNC's School of Medicine Center for Women's Mood Disorders.
Meltzer-Brody has been working on what may be a better option, a new drug called brexanolone, from Sage therapeutics. It's a synthetic version of a steroid called allopregnanolone, which is found at high levels during pregnancy but drops rapidly after delivery, which can have an impact on moods.
Brexanolone is given to women through an IV infusion for 60 hours. The drug helps the brain gradually adjust to the drastic hormonal changes.
"It is a rapid onset of action," said Meltzer-Brody, "The treatment response lasting through the 30 days of follow-up. So this is completely unlike anything we've had before and has been very exciting."
Published in the journal the Lancet, about 75 percent of the 209 participants had at least a 50 percent reduction of their depression symptoms by the end of the therapy.
Sydney was not in the trial, but she hopes the new drug will be the game changer many women have needed.
"If we can get medications," she said, "that deal specifically with these physiological issues that are going on with women, and therefore, you know, even better attack this horrible disease of postpartum depression, I'm all for it."
The FDA has awarded priority review to Brexanolone. Next steps for the drug are expected to be announced in December.

While watching the movies again, I couldn't get the idea of mushrooms out of my head. Because the Caterpillar sits on one and they are everywhere. I also couldn't stop thinking of the Queen of Hearts' tarts, and of course the Mad Hatter's Tea Party.
So I decided, to mix some of that together, and threw myself an unbirthday party (UN-bIRthdAY PaaARrr-TEA ...big "U" big "N" accent on the tea)
This I have to admit, was not the easiest blog post I've ever done. It was in fact frustratingly brutal. I went from the original idea of a straight up Mad Hatter's Tea Party but had issues with menu ideas other than just tea and tea-sandwiches, to mushroom tarts which exploded twice in my oven, to a cake that wouldn't hold up. In the end, I pulled together what I could from the mess and thought I'd hand in my homework anyways. Trust me, some point down the line, I'll do another Alice in Wonderland themed dinner to try and make up for it.
For the mushroom tarts
I used a pre-packaged dough,
half an onion rough chopped
ground black pepper,
two large white mushrooms rough chopped
some cheese
and a can of cream of mushroom soup
The cake was a boxed cake...lemon. And the icing was as well.

The Spanish Restaurant Foodies Travel Far & Wide To Indulge In (That You've Never Heard Of)
With travel becoming more accessible (and affordable) than ever before, wanderlusters are seeking out experiences all over the world. Bucket lists aren't just for destinations anymore, and with the rise of the experiential trend comes an increase in foodie travel. And, for good reason: There are countless hidden gem restaurants worth traveling for, and if you know where to look, the most memorable meal of your life may be a plane ride — or, a mere road trip — away.
But is a stellar menu really worth crossing borders for? Caroline Potter, OpenTable's chief dining officer, tells The Zoe Report that plenty of die-hard diners think so. "When people book a flight, the first question they typically ask on social media is, 'I'm traveling to [city name]; what are your restaurant recommendations?'" she points out. "I've personally booked travel after securing a hard-to-get reservation at a hot spot like Pujol in Mexico City. We continue to hear anecdotes of friends and colleagues approaching travel similarly, and even heard from one woman planning her honeymoon to Thailand for both the street food scene and the chance to dine at Gaggan and Nahm."
Chances are, where there's one good plate of nosh, there's bound to be more; if a restaurant piques your interest, Potter recommends researching the surrounding food scene. "Where are the markets locals shop at? Are there food courts or stalls that are popular with locals? Is there a food truck hub or any food events or festivals happening? Travelers can also consider signing up for a walking tour of local food markets. This will offer great insights into local specialties, food customs, ingredients, and their influence on the cooking scene."
If crafting an itinerary from scratch sounds daunting, stay tuned. Ahead, check out 22 hidden gem restaurants around the world (listed in no particular order), according to KAYAK and OpenTable's Will Fly For Food survey. The travel and restaurant booking sites joined forces to uncover these under-the-radar dining locales, based on KAYAK's most popular destinations from the last six months and OpenTable's highest-reviewed restaurants near those cities. Head to each link, and you'll find reservation and ordering tips, as well as flight and hotel options (plus more) for seamless planning within your budget.
So next time you head out of town — or out of country — try following your palette for a scrumptious adventure you'll never forget.
#1. Alux Restaurante || Cancun, Mexico
In addition to the food, Alux is worth a visit for the atmosphere; it's located in a cavern that's thousands of years old.
#2. 12th Avenue Grill || Honolulu, Hawaii
Come here for an actual taste of Hawaii, thanks to a farm-to-table menu filled with local ingredients (plus craft cocktails to wash it all down).
#3. CRUST || Miami, Florida
Pizza becomes a delicacy at CRUST, which boasts an overflowing menu that includes classic Italian dishes.
#4. Battista's Hole in the Wall || Las Vegas, Nevada
For those with an affinity for all things kitschy, duck into this nostalgic joint and you'll be surrounded by old-school decor inspired by Vegas history.
#5. Frances || San Francisco, California

Cory: Hi, My name is Cory Minter. I'm President of Trinity Employment Specialists. Trinity is a staffing company and we staff in both the Oklahoma City and the Tulsa markets. One of the things that we try to do as a staffing organization that is different than some, not all. I think that different staffing companies have different goals. Some staffing companies have a goal of meeting high quantity, so they want to get as many employees out as possible. It doesn't matter the quality as much as, "Let's just get somebody in there to fulfill that role and that's what we want to do." They make a lot of phone calls, they make a ton of connections and they just blast people out. That generally happens a lot more, also, when you have an economy that is really booming. Tulsa Staffing In the '90s, that was a really big thing for staffing companies and some just haven't gotten out of that practice. To some extent that works, and for some companies that does work, especially if you're just trying to pack bags or do some type of assembly. You can probably do that with those type of individuals, but that's really not what Trinity focuses on. It's not what our primary abilities are in our market. We put a strong emphasis on hiring top quality individuals for companies. Tulsa Staffing We only want to be able to provide A-Players. In every company, everybody knows there's an A-Player, a B-Player, C-Players. Hopefully, you don't have too many of those. But we do not want any of our customers to tolerate B or C level players if they're going to utilize our service. We want to make it a commitment to all of our customers to only be able to staff for A-Players, that's what we want to do. We also want to partner with other companies who are good enough companies that A-Players would actually want to go and stay in. Tulsa Staffing We've had some customers over in the past and they did not have the culture that held and maintained A-Players. If you put an A-Player in that culture, because it was either chaotic or not planned out or it was a negative type atmosphere, whatever the situation was, we've noticed that A-Players will just leave those organizations. We want to provide a good place for employees. The biggest reason is because– we we're in Inc. Magazine this last month for one of the top fastest 5,000 growing companies in America. A big reason for that is because we want our employees to refer us, other employees, and we want our customers to refer us to other customers. Tulsa Staffing In fact, yesterday I've got a call from one of our customer's back today, he has referred us to another group. That is a big reason why we've been able to grow, is because we have our customers referring us to other customers. It's one of the biggest and best compliments that we could ever have, super honored to be able to receive emails like that at all. But one of the things that most companies need to really put in the forefront of their mind, in addition to making sure that you hire A-Players and have a system of getting rid of C level players when you need to, and doing it quickly, is to make sure that your employee force is engaged. Tulsa Staffing I was reading a study. I think I've got the stat right, but it was so high I couldn't believe it. It was out of Forbes Magazine the other day that said that 85% of employees are not a 100% actively engaged in their work. 85%? What are they doing? It scares me, what they're doing. Tulsa Staffing I was doing a radio show with a guy that owns a really large optical practice and his biggest concern is, he said, "Well, I'm concerned they're stealing from me," because he's had so much theft. But you want to wonder, what in the world is going on where 85% of people are not actively engaged in their work. I want to talk really quickly about some things that we do at Trinity to try to get people engaged. It's really important to make sure and be intentional with this. It's really easy just to go through your day-to-day work and just keep doing the same old things and hopefully expecting different results. That's the definition of insanity, or you can be intentional to try to get your employees engaged. I want to tell you about one quick little move, things that we do at Trinity that I've notice a big difference with, and our employees really like it. One of the biggest or one of the hardest things to do for an employee or a business owner is when the weekend is over, and you had a great weekend, and then you got to get up on Monday morning and go to work, and you're just like, "Oh, I got to get going," and there's always this grind in most people. Now, I know that there's probably like a small percentage where everybody's like, "I love Mondays," but as a majority of the United States, most of your employees do not like Monday mornings. In fact, they drag on Monday mornings and they struggle on Monday mornings getting going. If you follow some studies, a lot of people say it's not till late Monday afternoon or in the evening to Tuesday where people actually get going. This is what we do. We have something called, Make Mondays Great Again, and basically what it is, is that we want to make Mondays great. We want to start the week off with the right kind of enthusiasm that we want in our company throughout that week. We want to set the tone for the week, we want to set our goals for the week. We want to claim what it is that we're going to try and get accomplished, and we want to pump each other up. Part of it is just to have fun. Let me go over some of the things that we do. It's Make Monday's Great Again. A lot of times we're going to start out with upbeat music just playing throughout the office and everyone is just getting ready to get started. This is right before we're really getting ready to hit home. We have some kind of a game that's next that we do. Sometimes, we have somebody that would play a video of something really silly that's in our field. Sometimes, we'll pull in a movie of a horrible employee or something like that and just make fun of it. One time we had somebody bring in a Jeff Gordon video, it went viral, and he took this guy on a test drive and just scared the pants off of him. It just made everyone laugh and get engaged. Last weekend we did a jelly bean game where some people might get a jelly bean that taste like a bar or something like that. We we're just trying to do something fun, but after we do something fun, we want to try to encourage and inspire. This comes from me, I want to encourage and inspire and retell the vision of why we do what we do. We tell our company culture goals, our mission statement. This is where we go over, who we are as a company? The biggest reason for that is we don't ever want to drift into something that we don't want. We make a decision to tell people, this is what we stand for, and I'll tell you what it is. I just remind people that every dollar that we make, a percentage of it goes to support the Oklahoma Baptist Children's Home and Plumbline Counseling Ministries. We are helping people in a big way. At the Oklahoma Baptist Children's Home, we're helping young mothers, who have babies, who do not have the resources to keep them. It keeps them from being out on the street. We really do a great thing. Also, our vision is, we want to change lives for the better. Because of our relationships with all of the different people in the community and all the job opportunities we have, we get the opportunity to place people in the right positions. If we do our job right, we'll change their life for the better. We remind people of this all the time. We always go over our weekly goals, we set up what we're going to do during this week, and we proclaim. "This is what we're going to accomplish this week. These are big ticket items, let's get this done." Everybody leaves really encouraged. At the very end, we just pray. I know this is very unconventional, and I say pray. We pray for the people that are going to come into our company, and we pray for their lives, and if we have an opportunity for them, that we would be able to see it and put action to it. In that way, we can change lives in a good way. That's what our Monday morning meeting is about, but whether you do a Monday morning meeting or Wednesday meeting or whatever it is that you do, make sure that you keep your employees engaged. It's really important. Don't let your employees be one of the 85%, who just are not actively engaged, that's ridiculous. Let's get our employees engaged, let them have fun and work hard while they're at work. Let's enjoy it. If we can help you out in any way at Trinity, please give us a call at 918 622 2588 or visit us online at trinityemployment.com. [00:11:23] [END OF AUDIO]

The famous Greek doctor Galen (AD129-200) studied animals. William Harvey used animals 400 years ago to discover how blood circulated in the body. The 'modern' era of animal research started about 150 years ago with the rise of physiology as a science. But it was very different then - there were no anaesthetics or effective pain killers, so the animals suffered a great deal, as did patients. Imagine having your leg amputated (which was not uncommon - infections could be very serious before antibiotics) without anaesthetic.
Laws around the world vary. Usually they depend on either a local system (which may be voluntary) or on national controls administered by the government. The UK is the only country in the world to have both systems running at the same time. The strict controls under the Animals (Scientific Procedures) Act 1986 were added to in April 1999 with the introduction of the Local Ethical Review Process for animal research. There are also international regulations such as the European Directive 86/609.
Researchers have good ethical, scientific and legal reasons to treat laboratory animals well and use them in minimum numbers. All animals must be properly housed, fed and cared for. Pain and distress must be minimised and the UK controls state that there must be a vet on call at all times. These controls also make sure that any animal suffering severe pain which cannot be alleviated is put down immediately.
It has proved very difficult to develop non-animal methods to replace the use of animals in research and testing. Most progress has been made in the replacement of animals in safety testing. Once non-animal methods have been developed and validated, and are accepted by the regulatory authorities world wide, then they must be used in preference to the animal tests. Animal experiments are just one method in biological and medical research - research can also be done using cells, tissues, people, and high tech equipment. Some people regard these methods as alternatives, but they are really complementary methods that are used alongside animal research to answer different sorts of questions. Animal research and testing accounts for a small propoortion of all biomedical research and testing.
Almost every major medical advance has depended on the use of animals at some stage in its research, development or testing. Examples include antibiotics, anaesthetics, insulin for diabetes, organ transplants, hip replacements, etc.
Obviously there are differences between animals and people. But under the skin, the biology of humans and other animals, particularly mammals, is remarkably similar. We have the same organs, controlled by the same nerves and hormones, as many other species. Where there are differences, researchers know about them, and such differences can actually help scientific understanding of a particular problem. Many animals suffer quite naturally from the same diseases as humans, and can be used to study those diseases. In other cases, researchers can use an 'animal model' of a disease which is close to the human condition.
We would be very unlikely to achieve many significant advances in scientific understanding or the prevention and treatment of diseases without animal research. We also need to use animals in safety testing to protect people, animals and the environment.
Animals are used when there is a need to find out what happens in the whole living body, which is far more complex than the sum of its parts. It is very difficult, and in most cases simply not yet possible, to develop non-animal methods to replace the use of living animals.
Most people carrying out the research are doctors, scientists, vets or trained animal carers, working in universities, hospitals, research institutes and pharmaceutical companies. Everyone who uses animals in research must have the necessary skills and training, and the research must be carried out in licensed premises.

Enhancing Supervised Terrain Classification with Predictive Unsupervised LearningM. Happold, M. Ollis, N. Johnson
Abstract: This paper describes a method for classifying the traversability of terrain by combining unsupervised learning of color models that predict scene geometry with supervised learning of the relationship between geometric features and traversability. A neural network is trained offline on hand-labeled geometric features computed from stereo data. An online process learns the association between color and geometry, enabling the robot to assess the traversability of regions for which there is little range information by estimating the geometry from the color of the scene and passing this to the neural network. This online process is continuous and extremely rapid, which allows for quick adaptations to different lighting conditions and terrain changes. The sensitivity of the traversability judgment is further adjusted online by feedback from the robot's bumper. Terrain assessments from the color classifier are merged with pure geometric classifications in an occupancy grid by computing the intersection of the ray associated with a pixel with a ground plane computed from the stereo range data. We present results from DARPA-conducted tests that demonstrate its effectiveness in a variety of outdoor environments.

At Anantnag, Prime Minister makes fresh peace with pitch for Pakistan...
29 October 2009
The Hindu
Manmohan ready to move on 'humanitarian' talks agenda
Siddharth Varadarajan
In signalling his government's readiness to discuss initiatives to strengthen people-to-people interaction across the Line of Control, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh may just have hit upon a magic formula that could potentially advance the peace process with Pakistan and make life easier for the beleaguered people of Jammu and Kashmir. Without diluting New Delhi's key demand that Islamabad act to eliminate the threat that Pakistan-based terrorist groups pose to India.
It has taken Dr. Singh three months to put the ghost of the Sharm el-Sheikh controversy behind him and he did so in a way that political India could best understand: his latest peace overture was made from a public platform in the Valley with the Congress president, Sonia Gandhi, on the dais beside him.
Considerable care seems to have gone in to the structure of the Prime Minister's speech. He first noted the advances that were made bilaterally on all issues, including on a permanent resolution of Kashmir, between 2004 and 2007. This was a time when militancy and violence began to decline. Trade with Pakistan went up three times but, more importantly for Kashmir, trade between the two sides of the divided state began. Since then, however, terrorist activities increased, eventually bringing a halt to this process of constructive engagement.
Next, the Prime Minister pointed out that existing cross-LoC initiatives are not as people-friendly as they could be. "Trade facilities at the border are inadequate. There are no banking channels. Customs facilities need to be strengthened. There are no trade fairs. The lists of tradable commodities need to be increased. Clearances for travel take time. Prisoners of India and Pakistan are languishing in each other's jails even after completing their sentences".
In sum, "these are humanitarian issues whose resolution requires the cooperation of Pakistan", he said, adding that India is "ready to discuss these and other issues with the Government of Pakistan. I hope that as a result things will be made easier for our traders, divided families, prisoners and travellers". He added that for a "productive dialogue" it is "essential that terrorism must be brought under control".
What the Prime Minister has essentially done is to separate out the strands of the dialogue process as it existed prior its suspension following the Mumbai terrorist attacks of November 2008 and raised the possibility of forward movement on the "humanitarian" strands even as substantive political engagement, or "productive dialogue", must await the action that India has asked Pakistan to take against the camps and infrastructure of terrorist groups and other hostile non-state actors on its territory.
In re-examining India's options in this manner, Dr. Singh is responding to the demands of various stakeholders in Jammu and Kashmir who have been arguing for some time that trade and other forms of cross-LoC interaction should not be held hostage to the activities of the Lashkar-e-Taiba and other extremist organisations. The Jammu Traders Association, for example, would like the current weight restriction on trucks involved in cross-LoC trade to be increased from 1.5 tonnes to 10 tonnes. There have also been demands for the two governments to work out arrangements so that Letters of Credit could be used for two-way trade.
Apart from this instrumental distinction between "humanitarian" and political issues as far as the dialogue process is concerned, Dr. Singh's speech was also significant for the absence of accusatory language and a hectoring tone. Instead, the Prime Minister gently reminded Pakistan of the consequences of compromising with terrorism ---"Eventually they turn against you and bring only death and destruction. The real face of the terrorists is clear for the people of Pakistan to see with their own eyes".
For years, the Pakistani military has backed extremist groups in the hope that they would weaken India's hold over Jammu and Kashmir and force New Delhi to reach a negotiated territorial settlement. Not only was that strategy a failure as far as the India front was concerned, the growing number of terrorist attacks within Pakistan is proof that the blowback from this policy has been extremely costly. Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has sought to assure Pakistan that if it takes its "ongoing actions against the terrorist groups to their logical conclusion [and] destroy these groups wherever they are operating and for whatever misguided purpose", India will not be found wanting in its response. The fact is that the "intensive dialogue" on Kashmir between 2004 and 2007 that Dr. Singh referred to did more to address Pakistan's core concerns than two decades of terrorist violence.
If Pakistan acts against these groups now, there is no reason why the threads of that process cannot be picked up. And in the interim, as a demonstration of the two countries' stated commitment to the welfare of the people of Jammu and Kashmir, discussions on making existing cross-LoC initiatives more "people friendly" can begin more or less immediately.
For the Prime Minister's latest initiative on Pakistan to work, it is essential that all players on the Indian side stick closely to the line and length he has now set. Senior ministers and officials, in particular, need to be on message, neither adding nor subtracting words, sentences and colour to Dr. Singh's formulations. Deviations will only generate confusion or, worse, retaliatory rhetoric from Islamabad, triggering yet another counterproductive spin cycle from which the relationship only emerges shaken and bruised.

Guardian Protection, a security solutions provider, today announced a new partnership with Minor League Baseball (MiLB) to become the "Official Smart Home Security Partner of MiLB" and the "Preferred Partner" of targeted Minor League Baseball teams across the country.
In conjunction with this partnership, Guardian and MiLB will also team up to support the Joe Torre Safe At Home Foundation, which works to provide services to youth who have been traumatized by exposure to violence, and empowers them to live healthy lives free from violence. In each participating market, for every base runner caught stealing, Guardian will donate funds to Safe At Home or a local charity focused on helping victims of domestic violence.
"Our core value at Guardian is helping our customers feel safe in their homes and protect what is most important to them," said Guardian Vice President of Marketing Kevin Bish. "The opportunity to partner with Minor League Baseball and help support an organization such as the Joe Torre Safe At Home Foundation brings our mission to life in a new and exciting way and is something we're proud to do."
The multi-year partnership focuses on markets where Guardian has local branch offices. Guardian's brand will be included on in-park signage, in promotional materials and in national marketing programs and events throughout the season with the following teams: Akron RubberDucks (Cleveland/Youngstown, Ohio), Bowie Baysox (Baltimore, Md.), Bradenton Marauders (Tampa, Fla.), Columbus Clippers (Columbus, Ohio), Delmarva Shorebirds (Millsboro, Del.), Frederick Keys (Rockville, Md.), Indianapolis Indians (Indianapolis, Ind.), Lake County Captains (Cleveland/Youngstown, Ohio), Nashville Sounds (Nashville, Tenn.), San Antonio Missions (San Antonio, Texas), Tampa Tarpons (Tampa, Fla.), Trenton Thunder (Trenton, N.J.) and the Wilmington Blue Rocks (Wilmington, Del.).
"With the help of Guardian, we're providing our fans and homeowners a resource to help make their homes safer, smarter and more efficient, while using the game of baseball to impact our local communities," said Gerald Jones, vice president, business development & media for Minor League Baseball. "Giving back to our communities is central to Minor League Baseball, and through this partnership and our relationship with the Joe Torre Safe At Home Foundation, we can accomplish our goals together."
"It has never been more vital to educate people about domestic violence," said Joe Torre, baseball hall of famer and chairman and founder of Safe At Home. "We are proud to partner with Guardian Protection and Minor League Baseball to raise awareness about domestic violence, end its cycle and help more people feel safe at home."
This partnership announcement comes on the heels of Guardian's major rebranding effort and its newly launched "Protect Your World" integrated marketing campaign that focuses on safeguarding what's most important to the customer: family, home and business.

The private spaceflight company SpaceX will test fire the engines of the rocket that will launch the first ever commercial space capsule to the International Space Station today (April 30), and the public can watch the test live online.
SpaceX officials will conduct the so-called "static fire test" of the firm's Falcon 9 rocket today at 3 p.m. EDT (1900 GMT) from Space Launch Complex 40 at the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida, where the rocket stands poised to blast off toward the space station on May 7. The webcast of the engine test will begin about 30 minutes earlier, at 2:30 p.m. ET (1830 GMT), on the company's website: http://www.spacex.com.
During today's static fire test, SpaceX officials will ignite the nine Merlin engines that power the Falcon 9 rocket's first stage.
"After the test, SpaceX will conduct a thorough review of all data as engineers make final preparations for the upcoming launch, currently targeted for May 7," SpaceX officials explained in a statement.
SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket is a two-stage booster that stands about 180 feet tall (55 meters) and is topped with the company's unmanned Dragon space capsule. It is the capsule that will be making the trip to the International Space Station, where a crew of astronauts is waiting to pluck the gumdrop-shaped capsule from space using a robotic arm. The Dragon vehicle will be attached to the orbiting complex with the robotic arm.
The Hawthorne, Calif.-based SpaceX (short for Space Exploration Technologies, Corp.) has a $1.6 billion contract with NASA to conduct 12 cargo missions to the space station with its Dragon spacecraft.
"This will be the first attempt by a commercial company to send a spacecraft to the International Space Station, a feat previously performed by only a few governments. Success is not guaranteed," SpaceX officials said. "If any aspect of the mission is not successful, SpaceX will learn from the experience and try again."
SpaceX is one of two private companies with contracts to provide unmanned space cargo flights to the space station for NASA. The Virginia-based company Orbital Technologies, Corp., has a $1.9 billion contract to provide eight cargo delivery missions using its own Cygnus spacecraft and Antares rocket. The first test of that spacecraft and rocket is expected to occur later this year.
SpaceX officials said the May 7 launch of Dragon toward the space station will also be webcast live via the company's website.

I'm sure we've all moved on as the regular season winds down and the playoffs begin without our favorite team. I figured it was time to do a roster review and make projections on what the 2014 team is going to look like. Some might consider this an exercise in horror or patience. I think it's potentially brighter than that.
Here is the projected 2014 roster with two important caveats. One, the Angels make no signings, trades or releases in the off-season and two, nobody gets hurt before opening day, and everyone currently on the DL comes back healthy.
Angels 2014 Roster*
- Albert Pujols
- Mark Trumbo
- Howie Kendrick
- Grant Green
- Erick Aybar
- Andrew Romine
- Chris Ianetta
- Hank Conger
- Mike Trout
- Peter Bourjos
- JB Shuck
- Josh Hamilton
- Cole Calhoun
Starting Pitchers:
- Joe Blanton
- Ernesto Frieri
- Dane De La Rosa
- Cory Rasmus
- Kevin Jepsen
- Sean Burnett
- Michael Kohn
*No Roster Moves or Injuries. This article is manager agnostic.
So there are a couple of obvious observations of the above. Firstly it's obvious moves will be made so the roster isn't going to look like that. But I think it's a good baseline before speculation begins. I think it's pretty much a slam dunk that Hanson shouldn't be counted on to be in the MLB rotation next year. I think he's a valid guy to probably take another chance on though and to keep him on the 40 man roster. At best he's a #3 starter which is good value considering his present salary. At worst he's in AAA or released. Hanson might return but any GM who actually counts him on the 25 man roster is doing the team a disservice. The other notable is Blanton is probably not coming back. So we should likely scratch both of them off the list right now. We can probably replace them with JC Gutierrez and Michael Roth. That still looks pretty bleak.
So basically the Angels need a minimum of two quality starters added to the roster via free agency or trade to even be considered as a contending team in 2014. Having Jerome Williams as your #4 is a very bad thing, and that's assuming everyone stays healthy.
The bullpen actually looks salvageable. Burnett is good if healthy and the remaining guys range from average to good. It looks better if you swap in Williams for Blanton. It wouldn't be a bad idea to shore up some of the depth further though. Coello, Morande and Sisk still lurk in the minors.
From a trade speculation standpoint the three names we've heard the most about lately being offered up for pitching help are Kendrick, Bourjos and Trumbo. If Kendrick is traded that shifts Green and Romine both into the starting lineup full-time. That appears to be a major hole in the lineup waiting to happen. You have to count on them both hitting at a average clip (0-2 WAR) and both not getting hurt and then still don't have a serviceable utility guy. If you trade Bourjos, then Calhoun and Shuck get more at bats. If you trade Trumbo, then Conger and Calhoun get more at bats. This assumes all trades are equal and we only would get arms in return. If we get something else, like swapping Kendrick for another starting infielder in addition to an arm then that changes the perspective.
The Angels clearly have some work to do and I think anything short of adding two quality starters will doom 2014 before it even starts. There are certainly more moves to be made beyond that but I think past the starter adds it probably amounts to bench and bullpen tinkering rather than an overhaul. The offense was still very good this year despite Pujols and Hamilton (aka 30% of the payroll) both taking the year off. If they come back healthy (both physically and mentally) in 2014 there will be zero concerns about scoring runs. If the team can improve the pitching, particularly the rotation, and maybe find a couple breakout guys in the sparse minor league system, they can contend again.**

Social networking refers to a process of relationship building among a group with a common interest (Suraweera, Kahingala, Batepola, Punchihewa, Senevirathne and Kahandwaarachchi, 2011). The use of social media for information communication, information sharing, for pleasure, for dating, work related purposes and so on, is growing rapidly, therefore, their importance in academic libraries cannot be over emphasized. Academic libraries are libraries established in higher institutions (universities, polytechnics and colleges of education) by their parent institutions for the primary purpose of teaching, learning and research which therefore forms an integral part of the institution's educational system. . With the exponential growth of the use of social media such as the Facebook, Friendster, MySpace, Flicker, Instagram, LinkedIn YouTube, Twitter, Blogs,Wikis, Delicious, Online groups/forums,, Library Thing, Ning and so on, it has also become inevitable that academic librarians around the world and especially in Nigeria, must learn to use these tools to be able to keep their ever growing and sophisticated patrons and also remain relevant in the society.
Adeleye (2015) noted that these sites can be oriented towards work-related contexts (LinkedIn.com), romantic relationship initiation (Friendster.com), connecting those with shared interests such as music or politics (MySpace.com, Twitter), or the undergraduates population (Facebook.com). Social media such as Facebook was used initially for social discussions, over time it evolved into the grouping of individuals into specific groups. Professional groups started to spring up and within time the library profession had its own group with the sole purpose of sharing ideas and gathering first hand information regarding the profession.
Beyond this, the different academic libraries in the country have felt the need to move with the times. The emergence of social media in academic libraries has changed the way information is delivered to the library patrons. Libraries have started to use these tools to interact with their patrons on real time. In fact, given the present economic scenario in Nigeria, where library budgets have been constantly on the decline, the social media have become a means for serving our patrons in a more specialized, interactive, and value added way without incurring undue expenses.
Hence, it has become very important for academic libraries to embrace these social media for effective service delivery to their library users and also to improve the library profession tremendously in Nigeria. Also, the previous top-bottom approach to service delivery where the library would pass information down to its patron without feedback will no longer suffice for our ever growing clients. Library users have been yearning to be a part of the services rendered to them, in essence being able to dictate what they need thereby making for a more interactive service delivery which will foster a two way communication pathway and provide the opportunity for more involvement. Undoubtedly, Nigeria which is still suffering from dwindling economy, are faced with diverse challenges amidst the opportunities derived from the intrusion of social media.
Consequently, a gap exists in literatures on the intrusion of social media in academic libraries in Nigeria. Hence, this chapter sought to bridge this gap by investigating the intrusion of social media in academic libraries in Nigeria as well as their opportunities and challenges for effective service delivery to their library users. Therefore this chapter will sought to identify the various types of social networking applications in academic libraries in Nigeria and how librarians use these social media for effective service delivery to their users, the opportunities accrued in using these applications, the various constraints in using these social networking applications in academic libraries, recommendations and the future trends will be succinctly discussed in this chapter.
Information Delivery: This is the act of conveying information form one person to the other or from one place to the other.
Library Services: These are the various services rendered in the library to their users.
Academic Libraries: These are libraries established in higher institutions like universities, polytechnics and colleges of education.
Nigeria: This is the most populous country in Africa otherwise known as giant of Africa.
Social media: Online networking tool for interaction, communication and sharing of information among group of people.
Socialization: The act of interaction, information or knowledge sharing among group of people.
Social Networking: This is the platform for people to connect, interact and discuss with one other.

Corporate sponsors are scrambling to distance themselves from the sprawling corruption dragnet launched against soccer's global governing body, the International Federation of Association Football (FIFA), by American and Swiss authorities this week.
On Wednesday, prosecutors in the U.S. unveiled a 47-count indictment against 14 defendants tied to the federation, including nine FIFA officials, who are accused of involvement in racketeering, wire fraud and money-laundering conspiracies.
"Our investigation revealed that what should be an expression of international sportsmanship was used as a vehicle in a broader scheme to line executives' pockets with bribes totaling $110 million — nearly a third of the legitimate costs of the rights to the tournaments involved," Loretta Lynch, the U.S. Attorney General, told reporters during a press conference in Brooklyn.
The presentation of the indictment in New York City came as officials in Switzerland launched their own criminal proceedings related to the awarding of the 2018 and 2022 World Cups, following the arrest of seven FIFA officials in Zurich on the eve of the federation's 65th international congress in the city.
Corporate sponsors linked to the organization appear to be in all-out damage control mode as the investigation made international headlines. World Cup sponsor Visa joined the chorus of saber rattlers lambasting FIFA and threatened to abandon its deal with the organization if it failed to weed out corruption in its ranks.
"It is important that FIFA makes changes now," read a statement released by Visa. "Should FIFA fail to do so, we have informed them that we will reassess our sponsorship."
Global soft-drink juggernaut Coca-Cola, which is also listed as one of seven FIFA partners for the 2018 World Cup, also sought to disassociate itself from the investigation, blasting the association for bringing disrepute to the sport.
"This lengthy controversy has tarnished the mission and ideals of the FIFA World Cup and we have repeatedly expressed our concerns about these serious allegations," said the company in a statement.
However, sponsors also appear to be firmly in the crosshairs of the U.S Justice Department.
During the press conference in Brooklyn, Attorney General Lynch said the corruption probe also covered "agreements regarding sponsorship of the Brazilian national soccer team by a major U.S. sportswear company," a not-so-vague reference to the 10-year, $160 million deal that Nike and the Brazilian national team inked in 1996.
On Wednesday, U.S. officials promised that the investigation launched this week was only the first chapter in their probe into corruption in international soccer.
"This is the beginning of our effort, not the end," stressed Kelly Currie, acting U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of New York. "We are looking into individuals and entities in a variety of countries."

2020 is already here, and you are making big plans to propel your business to the next level. With companies more and more reliant on gaining a technological edge, you can't afford to lag behind your competition when it comes to your internal IT needs. 2020 is going to see some exciting new technology trends like more flexible work for employees and AI.
As mentioned in the Forbes, these trends are going to disrupt the way we work now in 2020. With so much importance placed on technology, it should be a major goal to get your IT systems up and running smoothly for 2020.
Whether you're planning to add a new line of service to your business or setting foot in a new market, you must be having a rock-solid strategy already in place. However, what many companies tend to miss is to check whether their back office is equipped enough to handle the planned business growth?
If you have not factored in your IT setup yet, now this is the time to take stock of whether your IT systems are ready to help you expand your business or holding you back due to outdated technology. As Chron says, every business, small or large, has its own IT needs. They may be small or large, but in 2020 it is almost impossible to run a business smoothly without strong IT support. Here's a checklist to help you get started.
Accounting system
For a small business, it is always a wise decision to invest in an accounting system to take care of all your transactions until you can have a dedicated accounting person to do everything manually. A software accounting system can help you generate financial reports, keep track of your books, and give you instant access to all your transaction histories so that you can make informed financial decisions.
Utilize local onsite business service
Computers are mandatory for running every business these days, which means you will need some sort of computer support. Utilizing local onsite business service can help you to set up or repair computing devices and network equipment in no time. Opting for a business computer repair service is an excellent idea if your business depends largely on IT systems for daily operations. Having a local onsite business computer repair service means your routine IT issues are addressed immediately, and you can work more closely with your IT vendor.
Payment processing
If you're in an e-commerce business, you need to ensure your backend system is up and running at all times. Imagine a buyer wants to make a purchase and your system crashes at the moment – sounds scary, right? Ensure your payment gateway is working well. Also, make sure that payment gateways are safe and secure, as they are exposed to a lot of sensitive data. Nothing loses you customers faster than the perception (or reality) of being unsecure with credit card info.
Handling multiple languages and currencies
If your 2020 goal is to expand your business or services to a new geographical area, ensure that your IT system is well equipped to process multiple languages, currencies, and tax structures. You should also have a sophisticated billing system in place to handle revenue management, invoicing, billing, and so on in multiple languages.
Mobile friendly
More than 6 billion people used at least one mobile device in 2016. The number is expected to reach over 7.5 billion in 2020. It is a no-brainer that you should have a mobile-friendly website so you don't miss out on a chunk of your customers who are on mobile. If you have not done it yet, this is the best time to get a mobile presence for your business!
Are you ready for 2020?
With so many technological advancements around and sophisticated IT systems available to us, it's easy to fall behind. Make the first quarter of 2020 the time when you get your IT systems up and running smoothly to take your business to the next level. All you need is a robust IT strategy and a business computer repair service at your disposal to help you fix any issues that may appear without warning.

The Kaduna State Police Command on Sunday confirmed that a director with the Kaduna State Ministry of Education that was abducted by suspected kidnappers had regained his freedom.
The Command's Public Relations Officer, ASP Muktar Aliyu made the confirmation in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Kaduna.
He explained that the the Director, who was released in the early hours of Sunday, had since reunited with his family.
He also disclosed that a nursing mother that was abducted along with the Director in the neighborhood, leaving her three-week-old baby, had also regained her freedom.
He, however, did not confirm whether ransom was paid or not.
"The command remained committed to fight crime and criminality to standstill where every citizen can move freely, "he said.
Aliyu appealed to residents to always give security agents useful information to enable them take proactive measures to prevent similar incident.
NAN recalled that the victim, John Gorah, was abducted at midnight on Sept.3, at his residence located in Mararaban Rido, Kaduna.
NAN also recalled that the kidnappers had called the family and demanded for N40 million ransom.
The Nigerian Police Force had stepped up its surveillance to check the high rate of kidnapping in the country.

Trump's immigration policies (and in many ways Obama's), have a long history. Throughout US history, immigration and deportations have been used to expand and contract America's labor force. There is a long history of corporations and government using Xenophobia and racism to divide workers and control the labor market.
Also by Ursula Wolfe-Rocca: https://www.teenvogue.com/story/the-red-summer-of-1919-explained An article on the race riots following the end of World War I.
The Trump administration's war on immigrants has been nothing short of horrifying in its scope. As acting director of ICE, Thomas Homan explained in 2017, "The president made it clear in his executive orders: There's no population off the table. If you're in this country illegally, we're looking for you and we're going to look to apprehend you." The massive reach of this effort, the uncertainty and terror it elicits, and the opacity of the controlling laws, recall an earlier time in U.S. history when the due process and human rights of racialized "foreigners" were abused with impunity.
From the late 1920s to the late 1930s, men, women, and children, immigrant and U.S.- born, citizen and noncitizen, longtime residents and temporary workers all became the targets of a massive campaign of forced relocation, based solely on their perceived status as "Mexican." They were rounded up in parks, at work sites, and in hospitals, betrayed by local relief agencies who reported anyone with a "Mexican sounding" name to what was then called the sounding" name to what was then called the Immigration Service, tricked and terrorized into "voluntary" deportation by municipal and state officials, and forcibly deported in trains and buses, to a country some hadn't lived in for decades and others never at all.
Some families relocated "voluntarily," driven out by joblessness, harassment, and nativist fear-mongering, rather than the Immigration Service. By Dorothea Lange. Source: Library of Congress.
Historian Mae M. Ngai argues that this 1930s campaign of mass deportations had little to do with law; it was a program of "racial expulsion," rooted in racism. But unlike other racist and nativist efforts of the era, these deportations were not symbolized or driven by any signature piece of legislation like the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 or the Immigration Act of 1924. Rather, they were orchestrated using a patchwork of federal and local authority, existing but seldom used deportation rules, and simple mob action against a vulnerable population. It is precisely this messiness that is fruitful to surface with students. If no single law or leader ordered these deportations, then why and how did they happen and who or what is responsible for the damage they wrought? These are the questions raised in the Deportations on Trial lesson (modeled after Bill Bigelow's Rethinking Schools lesson "The People vs. Columbus").
This lesson was originally published in the 2018-2019 Winter issue of Rethinking Schools.
Ursula Wolfe-Rocca has taught high school social studies since 2000. She is on the editorial board of Rethinking Schools and is the Zinn Education Project Organizer/Curriculum Writer for the 2018-2019 school year.
