Online Casinos May Be Uncuffed Sooner Than Later

Online Casinos May Be Uncuffed Sooner Than Later

Annie Duke, just one of the pros to join the PPA out in Washington this past week, commented that the hill seems more open-minded than in the past years. The major thing that is different this year is more legislator’s are aware of the issues surrounding legalizing online gambling and when mentioning a $3 billion dollar boost to a squandering economy makes them listen further.

Five New Co-Sponsors Added To Barney Frank Online Gambling Bill

Five New Co-Sponsors Added To Barney Frank Online Gambling Bill


Representative Barney Frank knew that this time around he was going to receive a lot more support in his effort to overturn the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act. He just did not know he was going to get this much support so quickly.

Five more co-sponsors have signed on to Frank's online gambling Bill, HR 2267. The Bill would essentially overturn the UIGEA, and set the foundation for legalization and regulation of Internet gambling in the US.

Of the five representatives that have been added, two are from New Jersey, and one each are from New York, Connecticut, and Idaho. Representative Frank is gaining support not only among his fellow Democrats, but also on the other side of the aisle from Republicans.

Rep. Joe Courtney was added to the Bill from Connecticut. In Connecticut, there is a push from casinos in the state to overtake New Jersey as the casino gambling capital of the East Coast. From New Jersey, Rep. Frank A. LoBiondo and Rep. John H. Hadler are now co-sponsors.

The state of New York already has their share of lawmakers backing the online gambling Bill. Representative Paul D. Tonko has added his name to that list. Rep. Walter Minnick from Idaho has also been added.

Editorial: Government should bet on online poker

Editorial: Government should bet on online poker - The Delaware County Daily Times : Serving Delaware County, PA(DelcoTimes.com):

The Poker Players Alliance, a lobbying group that claims more than 1 million members, was formed to convince lawmakers to reconsider the government’s stance.

There have been far bigger issues on the docket for President Obama’s administration while it wrangles with the recession, but every day it puts off this matter is another day a source of federal income is being shrugged off. What makes online poker’s ban more puzzling is that there is very little resistance from the other side. All signs are that legalization would get through Congress with little trouble, and that President Obama would sign it gladly.

Rep. Barney Frank has introduced a bill (H.R. 2267) that would legalize some online gambling, including poker, and Rep. Jim McDermott has introduced a bill (H.R. 2268) that would update the tax code. These bills are two cards that Congress would be wise not to throw into the muck.

Nutritional Value of Bananas

Bananas for Your Health

Bananas are a unique fruit.

They are creamy, sweet or savory, and safely preserved by nature in their own packaging - the banana peel.

Related to the lily and the orchid, this fruit originated in Malaysia.

Today, the major banana producing countries are Mexico, Costa Rica, Ecuador, and Brazil.

Bananas and nutrition go hand in hand.

They are great sources of an array of nutrients, with B-complex vitamins, vitamin C, potassium, manganese and magnesium.

One banana also provides eleven percent of the daily recommended requirement of fiber.

Toss this yellow fruit, sliced or chopped on just about anything - the nutrition in bananas nourishes and protects the most vital organ.

Research has shown that a high fiber diet significantly lowers the risk of heart disease - the number one cause of death in America.

Vitamin B6, also known as pyridoxine, helps with brain function, energy conversion, and along with folate and B12, it works to reduce homocysteine levels.

Homocysteine is an amino acid, which in high quantities is connected to a higher risk of heart attack.

The health benefits of eating bananas also include protection from stomach ulcers and digestive health.

To combat the harsh effect of stomach acids, phytochemicals stimulate cells in the stomach lining to create a thicker mucus barrier.

Protease inhibitors found in bananas help to eliminate harmful bacteria found in the digestive tract.

Bananas are also a good source of prebiotics - undigestible sugars which provide the nourishment for probiotics.

Probiotics are an essential part of our health, defending the body from harmful microbes and improving nutrient absorption.

Online Gambling Sites Hit By Chinese Virtual Currency Ban

Gambling websites operating in China which use virtual money face an effective ban after the Chinese government made the use of the currency to buy real world goods illegal.
The move, partly designed to protect the real Chinese currency market, means that gambling websites and lotteries using virtual money - including prepaid game cards, game currencies and game points - are prohibited under the new rules.

The powerful attack that overwhelmed computers at U.S. and South Korean government agencies for days was even broader than initially realized, also targeting the White House, the Pentagon and the New York Stock Exchange.

The attack was remarkably successful in limiting public access to victim Web sites, but internal e-mail systems are typically unaffected in such attacks. Some government Web sites — such as the Treasury Department, Federal Trade Commission and Secret Service — were still reporting problems days after the attack started during the July 4 holiday. South Korean Internet sites began experiencing problems Tuesday.

Online-Poker Bust Raises Legal Stakes - WSJ.com

Online-Poker Bust Raises Legal Stakes - WSJ.com

Prosecutors' seizure of $34 million belonging to online poker players ups the ante in a long-running struggle between the Justice Department, which wants to shut down the online-gambling industry, and members of Congress who want to make it legal.

The government has used several laws to prosecute online gambling. Critics claim those laws are unclear and are sometimes contradicted by a patchwork of state laws.

Last month, Rep. Barney Frank (D., Mass.), chairman of the House Financial Services Committee, proposed legislation to legalize and regulate Internet gambling so revenues could be taxed and consumers would have some protections.

 

Online Gambling Bill Hopeful Outlook

Rep. Barney Frank Optimistic for Online Gambling Bill at World Series of Poker - Political News - FOXNews.com

LAS VEGAS -- A Democratic congressman at the World Series of Poker to rally support for legalizing and regulating Internet gambling says he thinks he can get a bill passed by next year.

Rep. Barney Frank of Massachusetts told nearly 1,700 players Sunday at the no-limit Texas Hold 'em main event that he viewed Internet gambling as a right that must be protected.

Phil Hellmuth, an 11-time gold bracelet winner at series who won the main event 20 years ago, says online gambling will grow worldwide regardless of whether U.S. lawmakers soften their stance.

A 2006 law prohibits financial institutions from taking credit card payments, checks or electronic transfers to settle online wagers. The Justice Department viewed Internet gambling as illegal even before that.

Remembering a Hero on Independence Day

You're a 19 year old kid. You're critically wounded, and dying in the jungle in the Ia Drang Valley, Vietnam, on Nov 14, 1965. Your infantry unit is outnumbered 8 - 1, and the enemy fire is so intense, from 100 or 200 yards away, that your own Infantry Commander has ordered the MediVac helicopters to stop coming in.

You're lying there, listening to the enemy machine guns, and you know you're not getting out. Your family is 1/2 way around the world, 12,000 miles away, and you'll never see them again. As the world starts to fade in and out, you know this is the day.
Then, over the machine gun noise, you faintly hear that sound of a helicopter, and you look up to see an un-armed Huey, but it doesn't seem real, because no Medi-Vac markings are on it.

Ed Freeman is coming for you.
