Seven Mile Casino in Chula Vista transfers ownership
The Chula Vista City Council has voted to transfer ownership of the Seven Mile Casino to the Stones South Bay Corp., a family owned and operated entertainment group in Sacramento.
The card room is at 271 and 285 Bay Blvd. near Interstate 5 and along the city's bayfront.
The transfer of license and assets of the Seven Mile Casino from V.C. Cardroom, Inc., to the new owners, was authorized by the California Department of Gaming Control in March.
"I want to be clear that I don't think gaming is a signature use on the bayfront or part of the bayfront's overall vision," said Councilman Steve Padilla. "I will say that … what you're proposing to do there is clearly an added value to the bayfront and the community."
The Stones Corp. via Seven Mile Casino offers the community with a local venue for business gatherings, family dining and entertainment.
"Our mission is to create a first-class entertainment destination in Chula Vista that will stand as a source of pride for the City, our customers, and our employees," Co-owner Ryan Stone stated in a news release.
Chula Vista police Capt. Lon Turner said a background check was completed on Stone group members earlier this year as well as a check in on Stones Gambling Hall in Citrus Heights, and that the business is in good standing to hold the license for Seven Mile Casino.
"We look forward to working with the new ownership to ensure that this police regulated business operates in a safe and lawful manner for the benefit of our community," he said.
In addition to the proposed transfer, city staff recommended that the operating period for the card room expire March 2019.
This allows the city to be able to negotiate fee collection, along with other elements of the gaming plan a year earlier.
The Seven Mile Casino made headlines when in December 2015 it became one of two card rooms in the county that were raided by law enforcement following a federal indictment that alleged they were involved in an illegal gambling and money laundering ring.
The state Bureau of Gambling Control simultaneously issued an emergency order closing both clubs and each were also required to get a new state-approved manager with no connection to the clubs, to oversee operations.
Seven Mile casino owner Harvey Souza was charged with not having proper monetary controls at the card room to prevent money laundering.
In September Souza entered into an agreement with federal prosecutors for a three-year period not to be involved with the card room and hire an independent manager.
In return, court records show if he follows the conditions, charges would be dismissed.

DALLAS, TX– Amazon's CEO Jeff Bezos was in Dallas on Friday and we hope it's not his last time stopping through.
He was the featured speaker at the closing conversation of the George W. Bush Presidential Center's Forum on Leadership. The three day event is a celebration of the 5th anniversary of the Presidential Library and Museum on SMU's campus.
It's a treat to have Bezos here to give his expertise on entrepreneurship. After all, he is the richest man on earth with a net worth of $112 billion.
It's also no secret that Amazon is at the top in the retail industry. Especially, after Bezos recently announced there's now 100 million Prime members.
His success in business wasn't all that he talked about. He also gave the audience insight into his inspiration behind his aerospace company, blue origin.
"This planet is a gem and the more you travel around the more you see just how incredible it is. I'm not just talking about the civilization we've built or the urban cities that we have… all of these amazing things. So, we need to protect it," Bezos said.
That's cool! But, we really want to know if he's going to pick Dallas to be amazon's second headquarters?
Mr. Bezos, we'll be waiting.

I lately compared the cpu time between Xenon and AMD64 in running MM5 codes (compiled on PGI 5.2), and found that the speed up was merely 1.4 times. Although the Xenon chip has a clock rate 2.8GHz faster than the AMD64 at 1.8GHz, I would expect the benefit of using 64 bits will still triumph a faster 32bit chips by a large margin.
I wonder if there's any problem with my optimization setting or the environment? I am using the configure.user file provided in the "tips and resource" for compiling the AMD64/MM5 on Federa Linux. Do I need to use other Linux favor such as SuSE?
Any input will be greatly appreciated!
PS I also have other problems with compiling other modules of MM5 on AMD64/PGI fortran. May post my questions later …

Is 13 Too Young To Climb Everest?
Jordan Romero is only 13 and already plans to scale Everest with his parents. They have had no experience climbing the tallest mountain in the world, and do not even plan to use a specialist team to guide them, simply hiring sherpas to help them on their way. The mountaineering community is disputing whether this is just a publicity stunt and if Jordan (and his parents) really understand the risks that lie ahead of them.
click here to read the full article.
Most people have heard of Into Thin Air by Jon Krakauer, the mountaineer who was part of the 1996 expedition that took 8 lives. Definitely a book worth reading, but particularly as it highlights the extreme dangers of the climb. Another book which I would recommend is Where The Mountain Casts Its Shadow by Maria Coffey, who herself is a mountaineering widow, she talks about the lives of the people left behind when tragedy like this strikes.
4 comments:
It thinks it's pretty weird. I'm not sure that a 13 year old really can't make that kind of decision. I know that we risk our lives just leaving home and hopping in a car... but Everest? Really?ReplyDelete
I climbed Kilimanjaro which is the highest peak in Africa but not nearly the height of Everest. The peak of Kili is at roughly the same altitude as Everest base camp. And, given those stats, I still don't know that it would be wise for a 13 year old to even attempt that mountain!
I think the majority of people are in agreement with you Jill. Good for you climbing Kilimanjaro, was it fun? I am thinking of doing Aconcagua next year, starting my endurance training in ernest and obviously saving some cash. How was your climb? I have heard that its a doable peak, not too arduous (ie no mountaineering reqd)ReplyDelete
Hi Amanda,ReplyDelete
Good for you! I hear that Aconcagua is amazing. When I climbed Kili, I met two Australian guys who had done Aconcagua and loved it. I always planned to do it... but haven't quite got around to it yet!
The Kilimanjaro climb is certainly very doable. There is no "technical" climbing involved. I highly recommend doing one of the less popular routes... the main route is sadly very over-used. The climb is very challenging and really it all comes down to how you handle the altitude...which is something you really can't predict or train for. It was an incredible experience and we (my dad, brother and I) all made it to the summit.
All this being said, I do have some conflicting feelings about this kind of climbing and the lack or respect that we can sometimes have for these beautiful mountains - they get so over used and abused. I can't really disagree with climbing, because then I'd be a hypocrite, but I do wish they weren't such "amusement parks"... it seems that's what is happening to many of them... including Everest.
I am very curious to hear how Aconcagua is!
Retarded ! No way he should be climbing and no way they should be doing it so illpreparedReplyDelete

in our Holiday Rambler, since August 2006
We had a great sleep and up early as usual, Computing, coffees, walkabouts and discuss what we want to do today. Well we discussed this and discussed that, made a few plans and discussed this a bit more. I polished the coach and the car and we discussed a bit more.
By the time we discussed what to do we did not feel like doing anything so.... Hey its an awesome day. Lets get our lawn chairs out a read in the shade, wonderful! Perfect choice. Oh I checked the air pressure in the tires, check the oil, (we are on the road in the morning) and Suzie thought about vacuuming our coach, that thought passed quickly, reading is more fun, there is always another day right?
So before we know it the day just flew by, sun, shade, sun shade, read , talk, life is tough ya know. Then its time to fire up our Weber. And today we agreed on a pork loin roast, potatoes in foil with onions, carrots and broccoli for supper.
|heat up the grill and put the roast and potatoes on
|a hour later perfectly done
|tasty supper
After supper read and compute a bit, watch a some of a show, then.... good night!

My journey to discovering kinesiology
While living a balanced and healthy life has been a lifelong passion of mine, it wasn't until nine years ago that I realised my full potential to heal myself and empower others to conquer their health struggles. I moved to the Sunshine Coast with my husband and three children in 2008, and that move opened up a wealth of opportunities for me to grow and expand my knowledge of natural health modalities. After losing my job and sinking to rock bottom, it was the supportive and nurturing energy of the region, that encouraged me to make a positive change in my life. I was displaying the physical symptoms of an illness and was prescribed with antibiotics that I would have to take every month, most likely for years. Based on the science of this medication, I wasn't satisfied with this as an option, as I wasn't sure how my body would cope with it long term. I felt disempowered with the idea of simply masking my symptoms, so I sought an alternative solution to my problem. But when I experienced incredible results from a visit to a naturopath who practised kinesiology, I couldn't help but be left in total awe. I had seen naturopaths before and they had only guessed at what the problem was, with no results. So when this naturopath used kinesiology on me and not only managed to discover the real problem and its cause, but treat it, I knew I was onto something. It was that experience that led me to immerse myself in the health industry, and though initially I had just wanted to find out more about how I could better my health, I realised that I had to share with others in their quest for health. As someone who has been there myself, I now find it wonderfully fulfilling to help others overcome their problems and awaken them to their inner wisdom. It is my hope that by teaching others to understand and listen to their body, I can help get them on the path towards better health and a happier, more energetic and balanced life.


text: Why do we all seem to make excuses? Why do we want to pass the blame? As I was looking at all of the things I needed to write about, and the major themes of my efforts, I realized that I didn't have one for the tagline of my website. Small Business Finance is something that comes up short in this country, and I've written about that already. However, there hasn't been an easy way to see all of those posts without the distraction of all of the other things I write about. Over the next few weeks, you will begin to see order brought to the chaos. The garden will actually begin to look like it is tended.

Elvira ruled the worlds of horror and Halloween throughout the 80s and into the 90s, hosting classic horror movies and even appearing in her own feature films. At 63-years-old, actress Cassandra Peterson doesn't look like she's aged a day, and she's ready to bring the buxom character back into our lives.
I gotta admit, I never much cared for Elvira, Mistress of the Dark. Okay, yeah, she was hot. Not denying that. And every once in a blue moon, she was funny. Why, then, the lack of love for her? Plenty of lust as a teenage boy, watching her narrate some old cheesefest on the local TV stations. But love? Nah. Ms. Cassandra Peterson may know how to rock a slinky black dress and Morticia Adams wig—but she wasn't the first. And that's the reason I can't give her my full slavish devotion.
Everything Elvira was doing in the 80s had been done before, and better, in the 1950s by the disturbingly thin-waisted "Vampira," aka Maila Nurmi. Most famous today for the part she played in Ed Wood's unbelievably, wonderfully hokey opus PLAN 9 FROM OUTER SPACE, Ms. Nurmi saw the derivative nature of Elvira's shtick right off. Several lawsuits were filed and, unfortunately for her, dismissed. The courts agreed that Elvira was pretty much a blatant carbon copy of Vampira, but that such copycatting did not constitute copyright infringement. That's too bad. Anyway, Elvira is going to be returning as a cartoon character. An ANIMATED one; she was always kind of a cartoon character. I just can't help thinking it should be Vampira instead.

JAKARTA (TheInsiderStories)– Indonesia' ride-
hailing provider, GO-JEK announced it has acquired Philippines financial technology company Coins.ph. The deal is officially undisclosed, but some observer estimating the unicorn paid US$72 million for the acquisition.
In the official statement, the compay said, its unit GO-PAY will work with Coin.ph in a non-cash payment scheme through the local payment gateway. Coins.ph is a startup that provides services that allow users to buy and sell digital currency or also known crypto-currency and make digital payments.
In a recent study conducted by Google on the internet in Southeast Asia, the adoption of digital payment services in the Philippines was quite low, only 21 percent. New internet transactions accounted for 1.6 percent of gross domestic product, making it a promising market.
Coins.ph said that currently they have more than five million registered customers in five years of operation, processing more than six million transactions per month.
"With the second largest population and a strong domestic economy, the Philippines is one of the most exciting markets in Southeast Asia and through this partnership with Coins.ph, we are humbled to take part in the country's digital payments transformation," CEO of GO-JEK Nadiem Makarim said last week.
He added, the announcement marks the start of the company long-term commitment to the Philippines. Previously, GO-JEK announced on May 23, that it will invest about $500 million to enter into four new markets Singapore, Vietnam, Thailand and the Philippines.
The company aiming to replicate its other Indonesian services to the new markets. Currently, one of the country's unicorn, working with regulators across the region to pave the way for the new operations.
"People in Vietnam, Thailand, Singapore and the Philippines don't feel that they're getting enough when it comes to ride-hailing. We hope that as we arrive in new markets, we will quickly become everyone's go-to lifestyle app. That is our aspiration. In the meantime, we hope our presence will provide the welcome competition markets need to thrive," he said.
Locally, GO-JEK has added 11 coverage cities in Indonesia such as Lampung, Riau, Aceh, Bali, West Java, North Sulawesi, Gorontalo, Bangka Belitung, and Central Sulawesi. At present, the operator has partnered with more than one million driver partners and 150 thousand GO-FOOD.
To finance the expansion, GO-JEK has raised fund from several investors such as global company Google and local investor PT Astra International Tbk (IDX: ASII) with worth US$1 billion.

"We GUARANTEE you'll get recruited".
"Your one stop shop for all Division 1 coaches".
All of these promises are great, they really are, and if you've worked with a coach or a service to help you with recruiting, that's awesome!
When you use these services, the providers are going to train you based off of their experiences in the recruitment world. That's exactly what you need when you're trying to get recruited. Experience and guidance are the 2 most important pieces behind having a stellar athlete, of course! One thing they won't tell you is that these services may "guarantee" you'll get recruited, but there is no guarantee. Your recruitment process is unique to you. We've said it before, but there's no formula to get recruited! Every player has their own path, but we're here to tell you one thing.
Stop paying services thousands of dollars for vague promises and a guide who's been removed from the process. If you really want the best guide for recruitment, you want someone who's got a fresh outlook and who will help you in every facet of your game. The Guideyou should rely on for help is a college aged player, and here's why.
They have up to date recruiting knowledge.
If you were looking for a new car, would you rather talk to the ex-CEO of Honda about what the safety standards were in 2005 or a current daily driver of a new model? We're guessing you're going with option number 2. Don't leave your game or recruitment goals up to someone who's been advertising their services for years. Work with someone who was right where you are within the past few years. These players understand the struggles of not having a clue how to talk to coaches or how to tighten up a spiral, don't be like the competition and let that knowledge go to waste.
They do this every day.
Day in and day out, college players are working on their trade. This isn't just a job to them, this is their life. The coaches they have are professionals and the very best at what they do. The drills, film study, and practice these players get every day are done with high repetition, and they can translate everything they're working on to fit your exact needs. They don't need to watch Youtube or consult with the latest Coaches Weekly to get ideas of how to help your game, they can do it in their sleep.
They don't have anything to gain.
Okay, that's a stretch. They're out here helping players for a reason. They want to grow their following and gain a fan, but they're not going to charge you an arm and a leg to "help you get to college". These players are just looking to help shape the next generation of athletes, and they want to get in some extra workouts too! They don't have a business built around this, their business is winning games at the college level and they want to make that your business too.
They can relate.
We talked about how these guys just went through the process. That goes beyond knowing all of the best ways to get recruited and get better at your game. These players have the same profile as you. Your environment has a lot to do with how you develop as a player. No matter where you come from or what your situation is, our massive network of trainers has done it all before. They don't have millions of dollars or (on OR off the field) professional careers distancing themselves from you. These players are newly hewn diamonds waiting to shape and cut up the newest generation of NCAA athletes.

Help! I Didn't Receive My Form W-2!
By January 31st you should receive a Form W-2, Wage and Tax Statement, from each employer you worked for during the prior tax year.
Form W-2 requires employers to show the total income the employer paid to you and the total taxes they withheld. That is key information to prepare your tax return. Your employer should also provide the same information to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).
Note: This does not apply to freelance workers or independent contractors. Your customers should each send...
Are My Unemployment Benefits Taxable?
Oh no! You just lost your job.
After you get over the initial shock, your mind naturally turns to thoughts of how to replace that regular income. Perhaps you'll seek another job or maybe crank up your side gig efforts — or both.
Following the untimely departure from your job, you might be eligible for unemployment benefits. The U.S. Department of Labor Unemployment Insurance program provides benefit payments to eligible workers who lost their job "through no fault of their own."

Avoid Charitable Scams After Natural Disasters
Hurricanes, earthquakes, mudslides, tornadoes, floods, forest fires, and other natural disasters wreak havoc on a large scale. Homes and possessions might be damaged or lost. It's a tragedy when people are injured or killed.
At such times, generous donors emerge to pledge or give money to charities that aid suffering victims of the disaster. As a bonus, donations to qualifying charitable agencies are tax deductible.
However, just as quickly as those contributors spring up to help, scammers al...
Employer Health Insurance vs. Individual Plans: What helps me more?
Having health insurance is important. In many cases, you end up paying less when you go for a doctor's visit than you would if you didn't have it. Your co-pay (aka the portion of the charges you cover) might be only $50 instead of hundreds of dollars. If you have a big family or pre-existing health conditions, those amounts add up quickly if you have to pay the full bill.
The difference for a hospital visit is even more significant. You could rack up a bill for many thousands of dollars if yo...
Calls From the IRS: Do They Happen?
"Hello, Mr. Brown? This is Maria Santos from the IRS," barked the authoritative voice on the phone. "It's important that I speak with you about your 2018 income tax return right now. I need some personal information from you."
Should this ever happen?
In short, no.
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) won't initiate contact with you via telephone. Nor do they reach out to taxpayers via emails, text messages or social media channels, especially to request your personal or financial information.

Reminder for new political parties intending to register for the 2016 ACT election
There are only 6 weeks left for new political parties to apply for registration for the 2016 ACT Legislative Assembly election, the ACT Electoral Commissioner, Phillip Green, said today.
"New parties wanting to run candidates in the 2016 election need to get their application for registration to the ACT Electoral Commissioner by the end of June," Mr Green said.
"Applications must be accompanied by the constitution of the party and the names of at least 100 members of the party who are on the ACT electoral roll."
The main advantage of registration for a party is the right to list party candidates in a column under the party's name on ballot papers, Mr Green said.
Registered parties are also given other rights, such as the right to nominate candidates and to receive copies of the ACT electoral roll.
"However, registering as a political party also comes with obligations," Mr Green stated. "Each registered party is responsible for submitting annual financial disclosure returns, gift disclosures and electoral expenditure returns to the ACT Electoral Commissioner."
There are currently six political parties registered to contest the October 2016 election:
- Australian Labor Party (ACT Branch)
- Australian Sex Party ACT
- Liberal Democratic Party
- Liberal Party of Australia (A. C. T. Division)
- The ACT Greens
- The Community Alliance Party (ACT)

#bcpoli, #freemygrapes, Bill C-311, Canadian Vintners Association, cider, craft beer, craft distillers
Today, at Cannery Brewing in Penticton, the official public announcement was made about amendments to the Importation of Intoxicating Liquors Act (IILA) that benefit craft breweries, cideries & distilleries across Canada.
The Honourable Kerry-Lynne D. Findlay, P.C., Q.C., M.P., Minister of National Revenue, joined by Dan Albas, Member of Parliament for Okanagan-Coquihalla, today announced that Canadians will now be able to purchase beer and spirits in provinces where they don't live and bring them home for personal use. The measure removes unnecessary red tape and is expected to benefit independent breweries and distilleries in communities across Canada by opening up regional markets and generating jobs.
Amendments to the Importation of Intoxicating Liquors Act (IILA) remove federal barriers and now allow individuals to move beer and spirits from one province to another for personal use. They were adopted as part of the Government of Canada's Economic Action Plan 2014 and follow the Government's elimination of similar barriers in 2012 in order to permit the interprovincial movement of wine for personal use.
As provincial liquor laws govern the movement, sale, purchase and possession of wine, beer, and spirits within each province, changes to these laws are often also required to allow interprovincial movement. Since the previous amendment in 2012, both British Columbia and Manitoba allow personal importations of wine. It was noted today that both Saskatchewan and Nova Scotia should be on board by July of this year. The Government of Canada is encouraging all provinces to support this measure and enact the necessary laws to facilitate and encourage interprovincial trade.
"The Canadian Vintners Association continues to advocate for the removal of barriers that limit Canadians from purchasing wine from another province. We are encouraged to see the Government of Canada taking charge and removing internal barriers, first with wine and now with beer and spirits. We hope that all jurisdictions will adopt these measures so that Canadians can access a broad selection of Canadian wine products, no matter where they live." – Dan Paszkowski, President and CEO, Canadian Vintners Association
"Breaking down trade barriers gives our local breweries and distilleries the opportunity to be competitive in national markets, thus fostering growth and creating jobs in our community. I am pleased to participate in today's event and look forward to seeing the next steps the federal government takes to reduce red tape for Canadian businesses." – Dan Albas, Member of Parliament for Okanagan-Coquihalla, BC

For me, a beginning golfer, this course is pretty good for as close as it is to my house. You cant beat the price anywhere around, but you deffinatley get what you pay for.I play this course about once a week, and it is usually deserted out there, I dont know how they stay open. Fairways and greens are looked after better then some other nearby courses I have played, the only problem is, and I hope its just a seasonal thing, but there are LOTS of geese, which means TONS of geese @$!*% on fairways and greens.I did get my first par ever on the 9th whole the last time I was there!

(PRWEB) July 18, 2012
AthleticScholarships.com, leading athletic scholarship and college sports recruitment website, has released their recruiting guidelines for Division II men's swimming. The recruitment guidelines were created to provide high school student athletes and their parents with insight on what college swim coaches and recruiters consider to be the ideal achievements and statistics for high level recruits. It should be noted that these are strictly guidelines and not every stat must to be met for an athlete to gain interest from Division II schools.
Competition is high when it comes to getting a spot on a Division II men's swim team and even more competitive when it comes to securing a scholarship. These guidelines reveal what's thought to be the ideal stats for high level Division II men's swimming recruits.
The Division II men's swimming recruitment guidelines were created using data from various sources, including swim recruits from across the nation, college swim team recruiters and college rosters.
Division II Men's Swimming Recruitment Stats for High Level Players
Division II Tier 1 Upper Level Candidate Stats

An independent power project on McKay Creek south of Revelstoke is close to fruition, with construction scheduled to start in August, according to documents filed with the Integrated Land Management Bureau.
The roads accessing the site, as well as the penstock for the IPP would intersect with the Mt. Cartier hiking and biking trail.
The proposal calls for a 3.81 megawatt run-of-river hydroelectric plant that would divert a maximum of 2.52 cubic-metres per second of water from the creek into a generating station. The water would be diverted at an elevation of 800 metres, 2.5-kilometres upstream of the Columbia River, and returned to the creek 1.8 kilometres downstream from the point of diversion. The power plant would be located on private land but the intake would be on crown land.
The electricity that is generated would then be tied into the BC Hydro grid.
The proponents, Robert and Vanessa Smith, have applied for tenure over about 146 hectares of Crown land for the project, though only about 10 per cent of that is expected to be disturbed by the project.
It would require construction of a four-kilometre road that would intersect with the Mt. Cartier hiking and biking trail. The road would be used for construction of the penstock, as well as maintenance during the expected 70-year lifespan of the IPP.
The Times Review has reported on the proposal in the past, but the recent filings are the most detailed we've seen.
The proponents did not return several calls asking for an interview on their construction plans. Bruce Granstrom, the engineer who prepared the plans, also did not return calls.
McKay Creek, also known as Eight Mile Creek, flows through the valley that divides Mount Mackenzie from Mount Cartier. It drains through a culvert beneath Airport Way and into the Columbia River.
According to the development plan, Ken Gibson from the Ministry of Tourism has given his approval to the construction, provided the trail remains open during and after construction. The application says the trail may have to be diverted from its current location.
The applicants are still seeking a water license that would allow them to divert the necessary amount of flow from the creek to the power station.

Internet, Aristotle on money-making
In fact, I first discovered anarchism (as a philosophical/political theory) on the Internet, and, hence, one of a few reason why I'm blogging my examination of the State's moral justification and the moral justification of a few anarchistic alternatives. It's a gift economy, Gates. A gift economy.
Issues surrounding gift economies, scarcity, reciprocity will be crucial later on (at the moment, having pegged down what the State is, and having settled on moral justification instead of legitimacy, I'm currently working on getting a grip on the ethics I'll be using) for my project, as vaguely suggested in Friday's post on anarcho-capitalism. And, following on from that post, here's Aristotle on money-making:
"The life of money-making is one undertaken under compulsion, and wealth is evidently not the good we are seeking; for it is merely useful and for the sake of something else." (The Nicomachean Ethics, Book I, Section 5)

A meta-analysis shows people who have experienced concussion and/or mild traumatic brain injury are more likely to attempt suicide and to have suicidal ideation than people who have not experienced the injuries.
Much of the attention on traumatic brain injury (TBI) and suicide has focused on severe TBI, or on the rare cases of professional athletes with concussion histories who have died by suicide. Studies that have explored the larger connection between concussion (or relatively mild TBI) and suicide have been heterogeneous and difficult to base overall conclusions on.
But a recent meta-analysis in JAMA Neurology has brought that disparate research together and found an overall two-fold increase in suicide risk for people who have experienced concussion and/or mild TBI. The authors also found that the literature consistently demonstrated higher risk of suicide attempts and suicidal thought after concussion or mild TBI.
"This is a large-scale wake-up call," says Todd J. Karsies, MD, MPH, a Critical Care physician at Nationwide Children's Hospital and senior author of the study. "We're not just talking about professional football here. We're talking about your friend down the street who gets in a car crash, your buddy who served in Iraq or your high school student who was hit hard in hockey. This is something that could impact anyone."
The research considered 17 total publications that had originally studied general population cohorts along with more discrete populations, including military veterans, patients with depression, the homeless, middle and high school students and people admitted to a trauma unit. The meta-analysis pooled those publications, statistically accounting for the differences between studies with study design, population and reported results.
While there was high statistical heterogeneity, the authors quantified the pooled increase in suicide because it is such a clear outcome. They found a general increase in the risk of suicide attempts or ideation, but they did not pool these results because of the variable ways these outcomes were identified across studies.
A number of very important findings simply couldn't be made because of the way the data was originally collected or because of the eras of collection, says Dr. Karsies, who is also an assistant professor of Clinical Pediatrics at The Ohio State University College of Medicine. For example, the analysis could not capture the effect of "Return-to-Play" protocols or other concussion management strategies that have become increasingly prevalent in the last decade.
No study, in fact, has analyzed the association of young athletes and suicide, though one ongoing prospective registry in Texas for high school athletes who sustain concussions, and another ongoing prospective registry for college athletes, may ultimately provide some answers.
To be sure, more than 99 percent of people who have a concussion will have no suicide-related outcome. What this study does, however, is highlight to every provider that suicide is a possible outcome of concussion in a small subset of the population, says Dr. Karsies. It should also push more researchers to study this outcome across different populations, including more precisely identifying the subset who may experience suicidality.
"Places and providers that see concussion must begin thinking about the most serious long-term behavioral health outcomes. We need to have a real sense of urgency about this," Dr. Karsies says. "Should we be conducting extra screening for depression or other suicide risk factors for people who experience concussion? It certainly affects how I think about this as an intensive care physician, and it should for any other provider who sees these patients."

When it comes to restricting whom your ex can bring around your children, you have to have a sound basis or doing so. If this person is not dangerous to your kids, it is not reasonable to expect that your children will never have to be around your former partner's new boyfriend or girlfriend. Although your kids may have an adverse reaction to seeing their parent with someone other than their father or mother, this is something they will have to work through. You may be able to offer some support, but this is also an issue which your children may not be able to discuss with you comfortably. Many children benefit from seeing a counselor during and following their parents' divorce. This issue may be something for your kids to address with a trained therapist.
While your children may have to get used to the other parent's new partner, there can be limitations when that new person presents a threat to them. For instance, if your children are reporting that the new person is violent or uses drugs around them, you will need to act right away to ensure their safety. You will most likely have to return to court for an emergency hearing to get orders in place which forbid your ex from allowing this individual to be around your children. Under these circumstances, you will want to contact an experienced family law attorney immediately to discuss your concerns.
At the Draper Firm, we understand the challenges of co-parenting after divorce and dealing with new partners and your children and can help. Please contact us today to schedule a free consultation.

What is the Armed Forces Covenant?
The Armed Forces Covenant is a promise from the nation to those who serve or who have served, and their families, which says we will do all we can to ensure they are treated fairly and not disadvantaged in their day-to-day lives.
The Armed Forces Covenant relies on the people, communities, and businesses of the UK to actively support it in order to make a difference. The government is committed to supporting the Armed Forces community by working with a range of partners who have signed the Armed Forces Covenant.
The Covenant brings together the government, businesses, local authorities, charities and the public in order to support those who serve.
What does the Armed Forces Covenant mean for businesses?
Businesses and charitable organisations who wish to demonstrate their support for the Armed Forces community can sign the Covenant. Organisations can make a range of written and publicised promises to set out their support to members of the Armed Forces community who work in their business or access their products and services.
The level of support will depend on the size and nature of the organisation, but typically includes policies that: encourage reserve service; support employment of veterans and service spouses/partners; give the Armed Forces community a fair deal on commercial products and services.
More than 800 businesses and charities have signed an Armed Forces Covenant, and that number continues to grow.
All Armed Forces Covenants are to be signed by a person in authority who can ensure that commitments are implemented and maintained.
Depending on the size and structure of your organisation, this could mean the Chief Executive, Chair or HR Director of a large multinational; the Chief Executive or Chair of a medium-sized company; or the owner or manager of a small business.

The Lord's Army – this is a group of men who are visiting hotspot areas encouraging young males to move away from a life of crime.
Founded by Mr Christopher Brown, it's a Christian based non-profit organisation whose members want to spread a message of hope to men across T&T.
He explains how the initiative started and why he believes it is an important one.
AUDIO: Brown explains 01 11 18
Some of the areas already visited include Diego Martin and parts of Laventille.
There is a certain perception surrounding these communities but according to Mr Brown, they are crying out for help.
The next community on the agenda is Carenage and Mr Brown is urging men to dress in white as they march through the community on November 6th.
He is also asking persons to join this cause as they will be distributing items to residents.
If you would like to get involved, you can call Mr Brown at 340-4857.

A decisive week for Roberto Di Matteo and Chelsea
2 draws, 1 shaky win at home against Shakhtar and a loss against West Bromwich Albion has brought a huge blow to Chelsea's confidence after starting on a high.
Things are different now as Chelsea lack experience when needed and the young players are not entirely capable of turning around their fortunes. A time when Lampard, Cole and Terry are desperately needed.
Roman Abramovich has always stressed on beautiful football and at the same time he wants Torres to play and like everyone else loves David Luiz. With the striker not being able to strike ( 20 passes, 0 shots against West Brom) and the defender not being able to defend , is RDM to blame?
He has done everything perfectly when it comes to tactics, but making the right changes to his squad has resulted in Chelsea's downfall. His substitutes don't always make sense. Moreover Romeu did not have a decent game against West Brom and though its understandable that Chelsea need Ramires for our CL tie against Juventus in Turin, he could have played today also for three big points.
The game against Juventus decides Chelsea fate, as a loss will undoubtedly make sure that Chelsea are out of the CL. Three points are a must and a point can be dealt with. Roman Abramovich has always been known for his short temperament in pushing that red button to get rid of managers and he can very much do it once again. Failure in the Champions League will make the Russian Oligarch , personally come down and lead you to the exit.
Moreover the game against City gives no relief either. At the moment, a draw will be a huge result and a boost of confidence, whereas a win that is very much possible, will most definitely change our fortunes. Atleast a draw is needed, if we need to avoid any kind of winter slump and also to keep our title aspirations alive.
Di Matteo is a bit shaky when it comes to making vital decisions. These decisions usually are the squad rotating system, in-game substitutions, management of defenders and ignoring Marko Marin. I cannot say much about Marko Marin, because he can still be suffering from an injury, and RDM is keeping it quiet to avoid the press. Marko Marin could add a lot to the squad and my guts tell me that he will start in Italy.
John Terry will be missed this week as Chelsea desperately need him in the squad to tighten up their shaky defense that is leaking goals. I would love to see Lampard in both the games, as ignoring the tactical side of football can sometimes win you games if you have experience.

💥 Make auto-cd a interactive feature rather than a library one
If a command fail, try to cd before outputing the error.
Issues fixed by this:
- Trailing slashes are no longer necessary
- If a binary and a folder conflicts, the binary has priority
- Typing
-cd to the old pwd
Breaking change: auto-cd no longer works in scripts. This is however a feature intended for interactive use only, so it arguably should not cause problem and IMO this is in fact an improvement.

The one-stop solution to create professional looking 3D models and real estate documentation.
Simplicity of use
Draw like you would with pencil and paper using your smartphone or tablet. Use a Bluetooth laser distance meter to work fast and accurate and get your ready-to-use model within minutes in profession CAD formats (DXF, IFC, PDF, Excel).
OrthoGraph is digitalizing the traditional ways of building survey. The workflow is this simple:
- – Enter the room
- – Draw what you see – no need to be accurate, just follow the shape
- – Measure wall length – OrthoGraph keeps angles unchanged so you decide in what detail you go
- – Measure diagonals if needed – in rooms containing non perpendicular angles, curved walls or for purposes where every tiny difference counts
- – Place down doors and windows
- – Measure them the same way as you did with corners
- – Need furniture? Use the built-in 150+ element BIM object library
- – Go into the next room
- – Draw new walls appending to the existing rooms (this is called Sketch&Tap) and start from step 3
Stay in control right on-site
Don't forget any measurement that would be required to have an accurate floor plan, or work really fast only measuring what is minimally required. The floor plan will always instantly reflect your measurements, so you can be certain what the result is going to be. Forget about invalid data or the need to get back to the site again.
Instant results
Anything you create is ready to use instantly. Export CAD formats, PDF or Excel directly from the OrthoGraph app. Send it from your smartphone or tablet to your customer or colleague. Get calculated area, perimeter, wall, door and window surfaces in the palm of your hand on the spot.
If you upload the project to OrthoGraph Cloud, then your colleagues or customers can access it instantly using the Real Estate Datasheet functionality and the 3D web viewer that is part of it – including all attached parameters and photos.
Staying on the safe side
OrthoGraph works offline without any need of internet connection. If you decide to store your projects in OrthoGraph Cloud and regularly update it, then you can get any previously uploaded versions of the same project on any of your devices running OrthoGraph. OrthoGraph runs on up to two of your devices with the same account.
Do you have a large project that you want to finish rapidly? Let's work together! OrthoGraph's teamwork capability lets you and your colleagues to share a project and measure the same building parallel, to finish earlier. OrthoGraph merges your work together anytime you upload it to OrthoGraph Cloud, everything is done automatically.
Measure everything
OrthoGraph creates a BIM model, which means everything you draw and measure can also hold additional alphanumeric information. You can also attach photos to any element of the graphical model if you need, that is also accessible in OrthoGraph Cloud's 3D web viewer. Communication with your colleagues has never been easier on the field.
Create your portfolio automatically
Every project you upload to OrthoGraph Cloud is accessible as real estate data sheets automatically. You don't need to do anything to get nice, well formatted online documentations of your measure projects listing out all set properties, attached photos, calculated values and even containing OrthoGraph Cloud's 3D web viewer. Your customers or colleagues don't need to install anything but to use their web browser to be able to see the measured and built up 3D models that you have create using OrthoGraph.
The continuously expanding 150+ element 3D BIM object library lets you create professional looking models even if they don't look that nice while surveying.
