Recent developments in technology have changed the way people gamble, increasing the risk of the user developing a problem.
In past years, organizations around the country have focused on all aspects of gambling addiction. This March, the Florida Council on Compulsive Gambling will take a greater look into how technology affects problem gambling.
With gambling becoming readily accessible to massive amounts of people, we need to do more as a society to ensure our most vulnerable citizens are protected. Those negatively impacted by gambling need to be able to access the appropriate care and support.
What can we do?
We would like to thank all of the following cities & groups for recognizing March as Problem Gambling Awareness Month.
Cities: Dunedin, Tamarac, Mary Esther, Pembroke Pines, Cape Canaveral, Eatonville, Hypoluxo, Indialantic, Lakeland, Lake Wales, Largo, Lauderhill, Maitland, Melbourne, Naples, North Bath, Safe Harbor, Stuart, Cooper City, Coleman, Melbourne Village, Altamonte Springs, and Orlando.
Businesses/ Organizations/ Groups: St. Leo University, Calder Casino, Hialeah Park, Casino Miami, Gulfstream Park, Magic City Casino, Mardi Gras Casino, Isle Casino at Pompano Park, Eau Gallie Library, South Manatee Branch Library, Franklin DeGroodt Memorial Library, Carver Ranchers Branch Library, Madison Public Library, Merritt Island Public Library, Dania Beach Paul DeMaio Branch, Broward County Library-Pompano Branch, Jupiter Branch Library, Richard C. Sullivan Public Library of Wilton Manors, White Springs Library, Lee County Library System, Rocky Bluff Branch, Fort Myers Regional Library, Suwannee River Regional Library, Lake Helen Public Library, William Beardall Senior Center, Winter Springs Senior Center, Hope Health Care Services, FIU Counseling & Psychological Services, Agency for State Technology, Florida Division of Emergency Management, Florida Department of Citrus, Edward Waters College, DeVry University-Orlando, Barry University-Miami Shores, Janet Gerner Center for Lifetime Learning at Palm Beach Community College, Sartory Senior Center, Santa Fe College- Gainsville, Hodges University, University North Florida, Florida State University, and University of Miami.

If you're in the market for an ultraportable but don't want to spend a lot, pick up the Acer Aspire S 13. This striking system measures just over 0.5 inches thick yet crams in a fast Core i5 processor, a 256GB SSD and a colorful full HD display for just $679. Plus, you'll get more than 9 hours of battery life. We especially like the textured lid and booming sound.

Acer's Predator 17 X is a beastly VR-ready gaming laptop that offers top-notch performance for hundreds less than its competitors. For $2,695, you get a desktop-class Nvidia 980 GPU, 32GB of RAM, a 512GB SSD and an unlocked Intel Core i7 CPU with one-click overclocking. The 17 X also comes with a pretty potent 4.1 speaker setup complete with a bottom-mounted subwoofer, a dazzling multicolor backlit keyboard and a sharp anti-glare full HD screen.
Acer's Aspire One Cloudbook is a lot of computer for not a lot of money. For $199, you get a 14-inch screen, a full version of Windows 10 and an eye-popping 14.5 hours of battery life. This laptop's comfy keyboard will make it even easier to enjoy the included one-year subscription to Microsoft Office 365. For people who prefer the greater flexibility of Windows over Chrome OS and want an ultra-affordable notebook, the Cloudbook is an excellent choice.
This detachable offers a bright, vibrant 12-inch display that makes it easy to view no matter where you bring the tablet panel. Its liquid cooling means the slate won't get too hot to hold. Also, make sure to get the Core i5 configuration, which offers enough speed to make it a fine productivity machine.
The first Chromebook with a 6th generation Core i5 CPU impressed us with its snappy performance and its solid 8 hours and 33 minutes of battery life. The chassis is not only super sexy, but it's also so rugged that it can survive being dropped from four feet. Plus, it comes with some helpful tools for IT administrators such as TPM, SAML support, and remote configuration through the web-based Chrome Device Management panel.
By putting the R13's display on a swiveling hinge, Acer made a thin (0.71 inches) and light (3.3 pounds) notebook that can be put in more positions than can most laptops. The R13 is also brawny enough for getting a lot of work done, with its speedy SSD drives and strong overall performance. Acer's ultraportable is also great for taking notes or doodling with the company's Active Stylus, thanks to the pen's 255 degrees of pressure sensitivity and accurate palm-detection.
This big-screen notebook offers the best of both worlds, with a bend-back display that enables tablet, tent and stand modes. The panel is impressive on its own in laptop mode, though, with vibrant color output that makes images and videos pop. You'll also get a ton of work done on the R 15, thanks to the solid performance of its Core i5 processor and its comfortable backlit keyboard.
The Acer Chromebook R 13 is our favorite Chrome OS notebook for a number of reasons, starting with its long-lasting battery that lets you leave the power cable at home when you're taking it out for a day. Google Docs users will appreciate the bend-back notebook's comfortable keyboard, which enables tons of typing. It's also one of first Chromebooks to emulate Android apps via the Google Play Store, though that feature is currently in beta.
Acer's upcoming Predator 21 X gaming laptop costs $9,000. Yes, you read that right. It gets you the world's first curved screen on a laptop (21 inches), two GTX 1080 GPUs in SLI, 64GBs of RAM, an overclockable Intel Core i7-&820HK CPU and a custom set of nine heatpipes and five fans to keep it cool. It even has a mecahnical keyboard, four speakers, two subwoofers and Tobii eye-tracking built-in. Acer has thrown everything but the kitchen sink into this laptop, and while it's out of most people's price range, we can't wait to see what it can do.
If you don't think a VR-ready gaming notebook should cost an arm, a leg and your first-born, you're not wrong. The Aspire VX 15 packs both speedy 7th-Gen Kaby Lake CPUs and a Pascal GPU, and does so for $1,050. It pulls this financial feat off by using a sturdy-feeling plastic design, rather than an aluminum chassis that you'll find in Acer's Nitro line.

Opinions may vary but not many people fail to shudder at mention of the ivory trade. Elephants are such inoffensive creatures that killing them purely for profit seems to be a particularly despicable activity.
In the past, Londoners proved oblivious to such moral scruples and were only too happy to make full use of ivory as a commodity. Piano keys, knife handles and hairbrushes were all grist to the slaughter.
The ivory trade was based in St Katharine's Dock, which was built in the 1820s. Before its construction, a community of some 10,000 people had lived here in the shadow of the Tower of London. In a staggering display of forced migration which would have done Stalin proud, the inhabitants of this 23-acre site were brutally evicted in favour of docks and warehouses.
With a horrible irony, St Katharine's was never successful as a commercial venture. The dock entrance proved too small for the ever-larger vessels of the 19th century. In fact if one stands by the dock entrance today it is difficult to see how even a moderately proportioned pleasure boat could have got in.
St Katharine's Dock was closed for good in the Sixties but its upstream position on the fringes of the City meant that it was ideal for conversion into a marina. Shops and restaurants also sprang up inside the old warehouses, while the unspeakably ugly Tower Hotel was erected close to the riverside.
One of the restaurants is the so-called Dickens Inn, housed in a wooden building of about 1780 which pre-dates the dock and shows the inflammatory conditions in which traders originally stored their goods. Opposite is the brick Ivory House of the 1850s, with a fine clock tower and powerful cast-iron columns.
But you simply can't divorce architecture from function. The presence of the two grey elephants who stand mute and sad by the main entrance to the dock is a reminder of the beastly horrors which human beings can often inflict.
The elephants are on the gate pillars in St Katharine's Way, E1

I just had a deliciously crisp Fuji apple for an afternoon snack, but I definitely would not have turned down yours!January 10, 2012 at 8:25 pm
Mmmm that sounds delicious!!!! Will try that this summer!January 10, 2012 at 8:32 pm
This sounds much more delicious than the iced coffee I'm having! Thanks for the recipe!January 10, 2012 at 8:33 pm
Hmmm….hot chocolate? It's a little colder here in Boston. 😉 (*This does look delicious though!)January 10, 2012 at 8:41 pm
Love how you styled the second photo Sarah! Arnold Palmers are our favorite! Sometimes, we spike them, or just drink them regular. But i've not had a fresh squeezed one. So good!January 10, 2012 at 8:43 pm
So good! (From a Mississippi girl)January 10, 2012 at 8:51 pm
I have never heard of an arnold palmer! Thanks for introducing this mississippi girl to a new treat!January 10, 2012 at 8:51 pm
This make me want to go to my Aunt's house in Florida. It's one of my favorite places to visit. But since I am here, in blustery Seattle, my mid-day treat is Starbucks new Blonde roast… yummm.January 10, 2012 at 8:57 pm

7 nights with an arrival from
The fabulous campsite Free Time is surrounded by a centuries-old forrest of pine trees, long sandy beaches and blue sea. This truly is an amazing spot.
A lovely walk through the forest of pine trees takes you to the beach or to the lovely village of Marina di Bibbona. The campsite is spacious and well maintained. Free Time has a fantastic swimming pool with an area for smaller children and a waterfall where there is lots of entertainment from Aquarobics to Babydance.
There is no chance for boredom on this campsite because there is lots of entertainment for young and old. There are fishing ponds and even a sauna and gym. All facilities are located near the pool area so you can enjoy peace and quiet when you are seated outside your accomodation. Camping Free Time is ideally situated for day trips away.

To embed, copy and paste the code into your website or blog:
On January 8, 2013, we published a newsletter (a copy of which can be found here) detailing the Franchise Tax Board's ("FTB") questionable legal and policy decision to begin collecting on a retroactive basis approximately $150 million of personal income taxes plus interest from investors who lawfully claimed a 50 percent exclusion or deferral on their returns pursuant to California's qualified small business stock ("QSBS") statutes. Last week, the FTB indicated that it will continue to issue notices of proposed assessment ("NPAs") to collect taxes on the sale of QSBS after January 1, 2008 (i.e., to prevent the running of the statute of limitations), but if taxpayers agree to waive the statute of limitations, a taxpayer protest can be delayed pending action from the State Legislature in response to the recent California Court of Appeal decision in Cutler v. Franchise Tax Board. It is unclear at this time how long the FTB will delay issuing NPAs for those taxpayers who have agreed to waive the statute of limitations.
As discussed in our January newsletter, the court held in Cutler that the California property and payroll requirements of California's QSBS statutes were invalid. These statutes provided a tax deferral or partial exclusion to investors in certain qualified small businesses that had 80 percent or more of their assets and payroll in California (the "80 Percent Requirements"). The court struck down the 80 Percent Requirements on the basis that they violated the Commerce Clause of the U.S. Constitution.
In response to the Cutler decision, the FTB summarily declared in FTB Notice No. 2012-03 (December 21, 2012) (the "FTB Notice") that the QSBS statutes were invalid in their entirety. Instead of granting refunds to out-of-state businesses that were not able to claim exclusion or deferral under the QSBS statutes or even fashioning a partial refund remedy, the FTB announced that it would issue NPAs to retroactively assess all investors who previously benefited from the QSBS statutes for any open tax years.
The public response to the FTB Notice was swift and generally very critical. Affected taxpayers, tax experts, various coalition groups, lobbyists and politicians voiced concern about the FTB's unilateral action, which resulted in a bipartisan letter signed by 38 state lawmakers urging the FTB to use its authority to reverse course. The Governor's office also urged the FTB to reconsider its position while legislative proposals could be considered to address the constitutional defects in the QSBS statutes.
On February 22, 2013, an assembly bill ("AB 901") was introduced by Assemblyman Wieckowski to eliminate the 80 Percent Requirements in the QSBS statutes on a retroactive basis (i.e., to 1997 in the case of deferral of gain on the sale of QSBS, and to 2008 in the case of exclusion of gain on the sale of QSBS). AB 901 may be heard by the Assembly's fiscal committee as early as March 26, 2013.
On February 27, 2013, the FTB indicated in revised FAQs to the FTB Notice that it will refrain, for the time being, from trying to collect personal income taxes as a result of Cutler until such time as state legislators can fully consider a legislative fix to Cutler. The FTB has indicated that affected taxpayers protesting retroactive assessment have the option to "request that the protest be held pending legislative action" so long as they agree to waive the statute of limitations for tax year 2008 (and possibly later tax years, as applicable). If a taxpayer does not agree to waive the statute of limitations, the FTB will issue an NPA to prevent the statute of limitations from running. Based on the FTB's revised FAQs, taxpayers are advised to continue to protest assessments timely, but may delay such protest if a valid waiver of the statute of limitations is submitted to the FTB prior to issuance of an NPA.
Although the FTB's announcement does not vindicate those taxpayers who reasonably relied on California's QSBS statutes to their detriment, it is a positive first step. Whether a legislative fix via AB 901 or another bill will come to fruition remains to be seen, and even if a bill were to pass, it is not clear whether it will include full restoration of the QSBS tax incentives or simply a prohibition on retroactive assessments. We are cautiously optimistic that a legislative solution can be reached to preserve California's QSBS tax incentive regime so as to encourage continued investment in California's small businesses.

"30 Rock" star Tina Fey is nominated for her first Grammy for Best Spoken Word Album for her work on "Bossypants," the audio book version of her memoir. Fey faces off with fellow funnywoman Betty White, also a first-time Grammy nominee, who is in the same category for her audio book "If You Ask Me (And Of Course You Won't)." They are also both up against actor Val Kilmer for his work on "The Mark of Zorro."
Seth MacFarlane is up for two Grammys and involved in a third. THe "Family Guy" creator is nominated for Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album for "Music Is Better Than Words" and Best Song Written for Visual Media for "Christmastime Is Killing Us" from "Family Guy." His album "Music Is Better Than Words" is also nominated for Best Engineered Album, Non-Classical.
Actor Michael Rapaport is nominated for Best Long Form Music Video, as he directed "Beats, Rhymes and Life: The Travels of a Tribe Called Quest."
The "South Park" fellow, Trey Parker and Matt Stone are up against "Harry Potter" star Daniel Radcliffe for Best Musical Theatre Album, while several TV shows and movies are up for Best Compilation Soundtrack for Visual Media – "Boardwalk Empire," "Glee" and "True Blood" go up against "Burlesque" and "Tangled."

The Grammys are great. 80+ categories. They air live Feb. 12, 2012 on CBS.

A Picture of Subsidized Households - 1998
This Web site sketches a picture of nearly five million subsidized households across the United States. It includes: (1) Totals; (2) Indian Housing; (3) Public Housing; (4) Section 8 Certificates and Vouchers; (5) Section 8 Moderate Rehabilitation; (6) Section 8 New and Substantial Rehabilitation; (7) Section 236; (8) Other HUD subsidies; and (9) Low Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC). Each line of data is identified by these key numbers, 1-9, in the second position of each data record.
Data are available for the 50 states, the District of Columbia, Guam, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, and the Northern Mariana Islands. To view or download data for a particular State, please select from either the map (state abbreviation) or the appropriate letter below.
|More details about the data can be obtained by selecting from the following topics:
|The files use May 1998 through June 1998 data on the types of households in subsidized housing programs. The Census Tract Summary (Neighborhood) files show census tract data as of 1990. This is a working document and will be corrected as new information is received. We have tried to minimize errors, but the data come from so many different sources that errors undoubtedly remain. The material was compiled by Paul Burke 202-708-1060 x5888, who will appreciate comments and corrections.
- The report covers nearly five million subsidized housing units, with 11 million people. Data on the occupants are missing on 16% of these units. Data on location are also missing on 16% of units, but not always the same units (pp. 6-7)
- A quarter of households are wage earners. The average income of subsidized households is $9,500 per year, and 17% have incomes below $5,000. Most projects have a moderate income mix. (pp. 8-10)
- A third of households are elderly. Over half are minorities. Two fifths include a single adult with children. (pp. 8-14)
- Subsidized households have been in their subsidy program for 6 years on average, and recent arrivals averaged 1 3/4 years (21 months) on the waiting list. (pp. 13-14)
- The average subsidized unit is in a neighborhood where one eighth of the neighborhood are subsidized, one quarter are poor, and half are minority. (pp. 13-16)
- Six sevenths of people in the United States have one or more subsidized housing units in their neighborhood. (p. 16)
- Most projects and housing agencies are small, but most subsidized units are in the large projects and agencies. (pp. 17, 40)
The information in this report is neither private nor copyrighted and may be copied. When citing it, please include the title with date: A Picture of Subsidized Households in 1998.

* Public & Indian Housing only
Differences from the 1997 and 1996 File
Added brief descriptions of programs.
Added codes & summaries for sub-programs in the Office of Housing, such as Section 202 and Loan Management Set-Asides.
Added "household income as percent of adjusted local median income" for Office of Housing programs, so it is now available for all programs.
Added data on spending for Section 236 and "Other" subsidies. Spending was not updated in Public and Indian Housing, but changes in occupied units may affect figures on spending per unit.
Slightly longer project names & addresses.
Improved weighting: when Public, Indian, Certificates+Vouchers, or Moderate Rehabilitation reported more units in the last 30 months than the total occupied units (i.e. they have not reported move-outs) we use the most recent reports, up to the number of units occupied. Previously we used all reports in the past 30 months. This change results in more recent data and a more accurate description of current occupants.
More specific geographic codes for multi-county agencies: when they are in more than one county (or place, zip code, etc.) we try to determine which county has the most units, and if it has at least a third, we use that county code, otherwise we still use 888 as a code for multiple counties.
Added standard numeric state codes and rearranged county & tract codes into standard 12-character Census tract FIPS code
Corrected calculations of income mix, resulting in 11% larger estimates of income mix in private subsidized projects, and 4% larger nationally.
Dropped data on assets, to protect disclosure of locations of elderly households with significant assets.
Combined counts of 0-1 bedrooms, and dropped 2 bedrooms, which can be obtained by subtraction.
Other Differences from the 1996 File
Households which have used portability to move, are now counted under the agency that pays their subsidy, not the place they moved to. Note that if portability households are the only ones reported, their geographic codes reflect where they moved to, rather than the true location of the agency.
Where to Get Data
This report is available from HUD USER at 800-245-2691 or 202-708-3178 (TDD 800-877-8674), P O Box 6091, Washington, D.C. 20850.
The text and more complete data (including all projects, neighborhood summaries, and other years) are also on Internet at:
People without Internet access may obtain the computer files from HUD USER for a fee.
If you browse the file on Internet, your browser probably has a "look for" button, so you can move quickly to any city name, project name, project number, etc. If you download the data to your own computer, you can use a spreadsheet, database, or other package. Such packages let you:
- Jump to any part of the file (often using the f5 key, or a command to "look for" a specific name)
- Sort the records to see the highest incomes, or most concentrated tracts, or most integrated large projects, etc. (for example sort by record type and income)
- Print selected items (highlight items you want, and/or set width of other items to zero)
- Print a referral list of subsidized housing in an area, with size, turnover, % elderly, neighborhood characteristics, etc.
- Prepare maps, using latitude & longitude from this file (44 colored maps are in the 1996 printed report, volume 11)
Records for any particular town are usually found in two places in a file: Programs run by local housing agencies are listed first, by the number of the agency. Other programs are listed later, by county and zip code. They can be re-sorted as needed.
The national data file is about 50 megabytes (240 characters per record times 192,313 records), sorted by project number. State files are smaller (same record length, but fewer records). File names include "hud4" to distinguish them from earlier files. Note that Certificates+Vouchers issued in one state and used in another ("portability") are included with the state that issued them, though they could be re-sorted to the state where they are used (see "tract" in the "Meaning of Codes" section).

Movie I made at the CSCC Modsports and Super Saloons Revival Challenge meeting at Mallory Park on 29/08/2011. Features; Jeff Wilson and his team fettle the ex-Mick Hill VW Bug V8, they never did solve the problem causing a viscous weave underbraking. David Tetley and his crew warm the "Stars and Stripes" Opel Manta 400-Pontiac V8; Thomas Carey warming the Imp Californian; Bill Richards warming his Rover Metro; Bernie Chodosh warming his Chevy Corvette; Joss Ronchetti in the Sunbean Talbot Lotus. Then out for practice, footage from session two. Then lunch and the rain comes down, first race is a wet start, Mike Wilds in Daf-ne takes off, Pete Edwards comes through in the Escort Mk2 class-B Thundersaloon to take the win on a greasy track. Race two is much faster, Simon Allaway (lotus Silouette) and Pete Stevens (Sertec Carlton TS) having a real battle. Michael Bell the the "Lairy Canary" Escort has a big moment, Lee Costello in the other black Escort (V8 power in this one) comes through before it throws the cooling belt. Unfortunately the camera stopped then, just as the fun was really starting. Enjoy!

Slow PunctureLast updated at 12:01AM, March 26 2016
The government is neglecting its promises to cyclists
Inventors who found that cyclists disliked wearing helmets because they spoilt their hair have the answer: the cyclist's airbag. Anna Haupt, one of the Swedish designers of the device, said: "We went out asking people why they didn't use helmets. They were quite vain actually. They said they didn't want something that destroyed their hair. They wanted something discreet, invisible if possible."
She and Terese Alstin developed the Hövding helmet, a collar that sits around a rider's neck, with sensors that detect movements indicating an imminent crash. It inflates in milliseconds. They began creating the device seven years ago when helmets were made compulsory for children in Sweden.
The device, which has been cleared by European safety standard regulators, is now available to British customers through the company's website and costs €399 (£337). It has a rechargeable battery, is waterproof, and is put on with a zip. It looks elegant, sitting on a person's shoulders like a scarf.
Ms Haupt suggested that the gadget also provides more safety than traditional helmets.
"The biggest advantage is the shock-absorbing capacity," she said. "If you hit something, it's important that the helmet can absorb as much force as possible so the brain doesn't have to. Our airbag is very thick and absorbs the hit in an accident more softly than conventional helmets with plastic material."
Designers have described it as a revolutionary device, while cycling campaigners said it may persuade many people to begin wearing helmets on the road and encourage others to start riding their bikes once more.
"It's another option for people who want added security," said Martin Key, campaigns manager at British Cycling. "If it gets more people out riding, then I'm for it."
However Mr Key suggested that cyclists should not have to wear a helmet if they preferred not to, emphasising that the pursuit is largely safe.

Private and Group Tutoring in Egypt: Where is The Gender Inequality?
Private tutoring is being practiced at an alarming scale in Egypt and in many other developing countries. Nonetheless, the literature on tutoring is still scant. The purpose of this paper is to gain an understanding of the nature and determinants of tutoring in Egypt, using micro-level data, in order to investigate whether gender bias exists in tutoring decisions. It is expected that since gender disparities are present in educational investments in general, they would be more pronounced in optional educational investments like that of receiving tutoring. It is also expected that since labor market outcomes are more favorable to boys, parents would be less willing to spend on tutoring for girls. Surprisingly, however, no gender bias against girls was detected with respect to tutoring. The absence of bias is in itself a significant and puzzling finding. We conclude that the education premium in the marriage market may be the answer to the puzzle.

text: As others have pointed out, I would love to see some statistics on open carry such as percentage of times they have been attacked or needed to use their weapon compared to concealed carry or a normal person who doesn't carry at all. Unfortunately, I am not aware of any study or statistics on the matter. Yes, there are a few stories out there of OC being attacked for their gun, I've read them. But hearing a story or two isn't a statistic, it just proves that it does happen. I will agree beyond the shadow of a doubt that what people say about making a person a target because of their gun does in fact happen. But in order to make a case about that, we need to know how often it happens.

I thought that in order to be a rogue leader, a person had to be a part of an organization. The headline calls her a "rogue leader," but the article never mentions any title or leadership role, other than being a loudmouth. The Minutemen got rid of her some years before this happened.
rogue as in outcast, pariah
I would say "rogue" is accurate, "leader" is not
