Four Republicans block Obamacare repeal bill in Senate – Politico
cited in article July 18, 2017 Four Republicans block Obamacare repeal bill in Senate – Politico2017-07-18T00:58:24+00:00 Rhode Island Marijuana News No Comment
Republican Sens. Mike Lee and Jerry Moran said Monday night they will join two other senators to oppose the Obamacare repeal bill, dooming the GOP initiative in the Senate.
Republican leaders could only afford to lose two senators on the procedural motion to start debate on the bill. Lee and Moran would join Sens. Susan Collins and Rand Paul in opposition to the version of the bill currently before the Senate.
Story Continued Below
But with four senators declared "no" votes – and several more undecided – Senate Republicans wouldn't have enough votes to even start debate on repealing Obamacare, the campaign promise they have made to voters for seven years.
"In addition to not repealing all of the Obamacare taxes, it doesn't go far enough in lowering premiums for middle class families; nor does it create enough free space from the most costly Obamacare regulations," Lee said of the Senate legislation.
Moran criticized the closed-door process for developing the bill and criticized the legislation for not repealing the entire 2010 health law.
"We should not put our stamp of approval on bad policy," he said in a statement. "We must now start fresh with an open legislative process to develop innovative solutions that provide greater personal choice, protections for pre-existing conditions, increased access and lower overall costs for Kansans."
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell will now have to decide whether he can pull the Obamacare repeal bill back from the dead or give up on the effort.
It's the latest in a long series of obstacles for the Obamacare repeal effort.
Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.), another Obamacare repeal skeptic, on Monday accused McConnell had committed a "breach of trust."
The Wisconsin Republican was stunned to read in The Washington Post that McConnell was privately arguing that major reforms to Medicaid were so far in the distance that they would never take effect. Johnson said Monday that he'd confirmed through conversations with other senators that McConnell had made the remarks, which he said now puts a procedural vote on the bill in "jeopardy."
"The reported comments from Leader McConnell before last Thursday about 'don't worry about these Medicaid changes, they won't take effect,' that's troubling to me. I have talked to senators that basically confirmed that. I'll see what Leader McConnell says tomorrow," Johnson said on Monday evening. "From my standpoint, it's a pretty serious breach of trust, those comments. I'm just troubled by those comments."
In response to Johnson's complaints, McConnell said, "I prefer to speak for myself, and my view is that the Medicaid per capita cap with a responsible growth rate that is sustainable for taxpayers is the most important long-term reform in the bill. That is why it has been in each draft we have released."

Johnson rebelled against McConnell's plans to hold a June vote alongside three other conservatives, then began urging his colleagues to support opening debate on the bill last week after an amendment from Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) was added to allow people to buy cheaper insurance plans that are not covered by Obamacare's regulations.
Before Lee and Moran announced their opposition, more than a half-dozen key senators were undecided, many wavering over those cuts to Medicaid spending.
"I'm reserving judgment. I want a CBO score, analysis and we're still doing more work on it," said Sen. John Hoeven (R-N.D.). "They need more time … we're still working on it."
"Still talking, so that's a good thing," said Sen. Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.), who expressed concern about how rolling back the Medicaid expansion would affect her state.
Sen. John McCain' is out after surgery, and Senate leaders had hoped he would come back by next week for the procedural vote.
"We're not going to come up short," Senate Majority Whip John Cornyn (R-Texas). had said earlier in the day. When McCain returns "will be very influential. We need a full contingent of the Republican senators. We don't have any to spare."
President Donald Trump is also ramping up his outreach to the Hill — hosting a handful of GOP senators at the White House Monday night, including Cornyn, John Thune of South Dakota, Lamar Alexander of Tennessee, Roy Blunt of Missouri, Steve Daines of Montana and James Lankford of Oklahoma, according to Republican aides. All are expected to vote for the bill.
Key swing-votes such as Rob Portman of Ohio, Mike Lee of Utah, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, Capito, Jeff Flake of Arizona, Cory Gardner of Colorado and Johnson were not attending.
Republicans don't expect a firm picture of whether the bill can even make it to the Senate floor or when they can hold a vote until perhaps the end of the week, according to GOP aides. They were going to use this week to tweak the bill, particularly Cruz's amendment, which some Republicans worry was rushed. A Congressional Budget Office analysis has also been delayed as the bill is rewritten.
Several senators have raised questions about the amendment, which would allow cheap plans to be sold alongside Obamacare-compliant plans that cover pre-existing conditions. Those plans' premiums would have some subsidies, but senators are confused about whether that money would be drawn from a nearly $200 billion stabilization fund meant to woo moderates.
"The extra time gives us a chance to study the bill, to consider the Congressional Budget Office report and make any modifications that we need to make," Alexander said.
But extra time cuts both ways. Though Republicans can make additional changes to the bill and try to whip up support, liberal activists also have more time to mobilize opposition. And a charm offensive from the Trump administration aimed at skeptical GOP governors seemed to have little impact over the weekend.
"Governors have a large say. The reason why we're not at 50 right now is a lot of governors don't like what we're doing," said Graham, who is pitching them on his own plan to block grant federal health care money to the states and keep all of Obamacare's taxes.
That leaves the bill's future almost totally uncertain with no scheduled vote, no CBO score and no firm whip count.
"The delay is what we have," Alexander said. "So I don't think we'll know until we vote whether it's been good or bad."

It's a trail and it's a race. Whether you walk it, run it or just pop in and out of sections of it, we hope this guide helps you enjoy and appreciate Marin's most famous trail.
DIPSEA IS ARGUABLY the county's most well-known verbal mash-up. When spoken, these two monosyllabic words (dip and sea) squish together and roll so easily off the tongue. But navigating the seven-plus miles of this trail, which weaves its way from downtown Mill Valley to the town of Stinson Beach, is not so easy. The trail starts with a thigh-burning push up 670-ish stairs, divided by three flights passing through tree house–like homes intermixed with a few gargoyles set up to protect those who pass. It also skirts and/or crosses Panoramic Highway a few times, passes through a world-famous redwood grove and crisscrosses Deer Park fire road as well as a few streams. Throughout the years, runners of the famed Dipsea Race have given portions of the trail names like Dynamite, as in exploding muscles; Cardiac, let's hope it doesn't happen here; and Insult, meaning come on, I thought we were done with the uphills. It takes most runners between an hour or two to complete, and hikes can stretch the journey to three hours.
The history of the trail and how it was named is also a sometimes winding path. According to the Dipsea Race Foundation, a group that governs the race and gives out scholarships to young runners, it all started in 1904 with members of the San Francisco Olympic Club. The adventurous group of men were on a mission to visit the new Dipsea Inn, which had opened on the sands of what is now known as Seadrift. The Dipsea name, by the way, was meant to encourage guests to take a dip in the sea. After a ferry ride, a landing in Sausalito, and a train ride to downtown Mill Valley, this group — also a competitive bunch — put a wager on who could make it over the hill and to the lobby of the hotel first. They had so much fun that the next year they invited others to join and made it an official race, now the oldest footrace in the country west of the Mississippi. A couple of big changes were made and by 1971 women were officially allowed to compete, and the path end point was changed to the parking lot of the state beach, skipping the last mile on the sand. In 1983, the race date was fixed as the second Sunday in June, and thus began a countywide Father's Day tradition. There is no prize money, but the top 35 finishers win the coveted black T-shirt, granting not only entrance to the next year's race but also hero status among members of the community.
1. The middle section of the Dipsea stairs climb out of Mill Valley off of Marion Avenue through the wooded hillside on the way to Windy Gap. Here hikers will see one of the many eclectic and handmade signs that mark the Dipsea as it winds its way up the hillside.
2. The trail undulates a bit as you descend into Muir Woods; here hikers cross a small ravine with the help of a wood walkway.
3. Below Windy Gap the trail crosses Muir Woods Road and a small creek. If you hike the trail in winter/spring you'll be greeted by a variety of small waterfalls and streams.
4. Continuing through Muir Woods, the trail crosses Redwood Creek. During the summer you can cross here on a seasonal bridge, but during winter/spring you'll have to detour to Deer Park Fire Road to avoid disturbing endangered coho salmon.
5. Trail sign climbing to Cardiac Hill from Muir Woods. Deer Park Fire Road and the Dipsea Trail crisscross several times but pretty much end up in the same place.
6. As you approach the top of Cardiac Hill the trail ascends quickly through towering Douglas firs and their stair-like root structures.
7. Looking south from the 1,360-foot-high point you can see San Francisco, Ocean Beach and Pacifica. This is the only place with potable water on the route; quench your thirst here. You can also get water at the Muir Woods Visitor Center, but it's a bit off the trail.
8. At this point the trail descends quickly down another set of steps to Webb Creek and the crossroads of the Steep Ravine Trail.
Winning race times can vary due to age handicaps. The oldest and youngest runners are given up to a 25-minute advantage, making it possible for virtually any age group to produce a race winner.
EDDA STICKLE The most recent Dipsea Hall of Famer is also a longtime volunteer race day director and a 25-year competitor.
JACK KIRK The "Dipsea Demon" has run the race 67 times since starting in 1933. His last entry was at the age of 96. He recently passed away at age 100.
SAL VASQUEZ In 1985, he started the first and longest winning streak of four years, then won three more races, for seven consecutive total wins.
REILLY JOHNSON At 8 years old, she was the youngest to win the Dipsea. And to add to the fun, she pulled it off on the 100th anniversary of the race. Girl Power!
RUSS KIERNAN This racer has won the event three times and earned 30 black shirts, more than any competitor.
Though the actual number of steps seems to vary, here are a few tidbits we know for certain.
Thirsty? You can thank Dispea Hall of Famer Eve Pell for spearheading a fundraising campaign to build a water fountain at the top of Cardiac, also the spot where she married her husband.
Who's talking? For more than 30 years, historian, runner and all around Dipsea aficionado Barry Spitz has been announcing the names of the runners as they cross the finish line. If you've been there, you know his insight into the runners and times is irreplaceable. Spitz has written countless books on hiking, including the history of the Dipsea, available at most local bookstores.
How to get into the race? The race is capped at 1,500. How do you guarantee a spot? There are three ways. Finish in the top 750 in the previous year, mail in the application on time to get one of the 500 open spots or win one of the 100 entries in a silent auction (any money paid beyond the $60 entry fee goes toward maintaining the trail). And cross your fingers.
How fast? The quickest time for the race is credited to Ron Elijah, who crossed the finish line in 44:49 in 1974. However, due to course changes, it is unlikely this record will be broken anytime soon.

On December 10th 2016, Truly Independent Wrestling crammed a little over 100 people into a small Church bingo hall in downtown Pittsfield Massachusetts for our first event, "The Clash Before Christmas". Exactly 6 years later, this past Saturday, over 300 strong came out for "The Clash Before Christmas 6". The show actually had to start 15 minutes later than scheduled because there were still fans coming through the doors and we didn't want anybody to miss a minute of the action. And now, for those of our fans who weren't able to make the trek out, we're here to give you the rundown of what happened at our 6th anniversary event!
The show started with General Manager "The Wolf" C.J. Scott coming down to the ring dressed as Santa Claus. He thanked the audience for being there to support TIW through the good times and bad, before calling out the TIW Champion Justin Kase. When Tyler Vincent retired last show, Wolf retired the original TIW Championship Belt as a token of respect to TV. And he started the night presenting Justin with the new Championship Belt. He then called out the roster to begin the Deck the Halls Battle Royal.
The match started with Shawn Phoenix declaring that Foxx Vinyer had lasted the longest in the Rumble at the last show and was therefore the biggest threat, so they should all get him out. And it worked. The entire ring banded together to eliminate Foxx. They then also tossed Phoenix for good measure. Several new faces made a strong showing in the match, including Big Juicy, who came down to the final 4 before being eliminated by Scotty Aero. Justin Rando then eliminated Scotty. And it came down to Rando and Sweet Money Montgomery. Money attempted to bribe Rando into letting him win so that he could go on to face Justin Kase for the TIW Championship. (Kase was not guaranteed to be champion at the end of the night, but Money had his own plans.) While Rando was asking the crowd if he should accept the bribe, Sweet Money took the decision out of his hands by attacking him from behind and dumping him over the top rope.
Sweet Money Montgomery wins the Deck the Halls Battle Royal.
When presented with the trophy that goes to the winner every year, Money wanted nothing to do with it. As per the stipulation on the match he will receive a title match at Snow Brawl on January 21st.
The next match was the Triple Threat Tag Team Match. Due to a bout of the flu, Tough Tim Hughes was unable to attend the event. As such Brutal Bob Evans teamed up with Alex Caine who was making his return to active wrestling in the match, having participated in both the TIW Rumble and Deck the Halls Battle Royal.
Brutal Bob Evans & Alex Caine defeated The Dillon Street Boys and Southern Discomfort by pinfall.
Up next Scotty Aero made his way to the ring for the Scotty Aero Open Challenge Match. The Challenge was accepted by Brody Jackson...and then Kris Jackson...and then Damian Slade...and then Jeff Nova. Scotty then announced that with the four of them out there, they didn't need him and he left the ring to go do commentary. So the Scotty Aero Open Challenge match took place with 100% less Scotty Aero.
Jeff Nova defeated Brody Jackson, Kris Jackson, & Damian Slade in a fatal four way match by pinning Brody.
After the match, Scotty Aero ran back down to the ring and took out Nova. Due to him not actually having a match at the show, he didn't lose and therefore is undefeated in TIW in 2022.
The following match was the Tag Team Championship Ladder Match. Due to Denim coming down with the flu (it's going around), Corey Jackson was tapped as his replacement for the match. And boy did he pay for it, being Powerbombed through a ladder and going through a table on the floor. Corey and Adam Stone put up a good fight and were almost able to pull it off, but in the end Russtache was able to counted a brass knuckles shot from Stone and steal them to knock Adam off the top of the ladder through a table before accending the ladder...
Carnivora defeated C&A to become the NEW TIW Tag Team Champions!
After the match the new Champs laid out the challenge to any teams in the northeast to come try taking the title from them.
We came back from intermission to the Last Man Standing Match. This was a brutal contest between two men who do not like one another. If you are a fan of hard hitting action, make sure to check this one out when the video is posted. It was either man's match right up until the end.
Aaron Roxas defeated Black Roze with a Curb Stomp into the exposed bottom turnbuckle.
Pierre Vachon & Samuel Bolt w/Lucy Bolt, newly christened The Alliance of Violence came down to the ring for their match. Vachon took the opportunity to insult the fans in attendance before telling Bolt that this match was his first test. Zeiden Lynne was out next, followed by Redneck Randy Walker, who brought back-up in the form of his sister Brandy. In the match Vachon refused to tag himself in, forcing Bolt to do all the work against Walker and Lynne, even going so far as to slap Bolt to get him angered up. Brandy and Lucy also got into it on the floor, with Lucy being on the receiving end of some stiff chops. In the end however, after hitting Walker with a Black Hole Slam and going for the pin, Vachon demanded that Bolt tag him in.
The Alliance of Violence defeated Randy Walker & Zeiden Lynne by submission when Vachon forced Walker to pass out in a combintaion Cobra Clutch/Mandible Claw.
Shawn Phoenix and TIW Berkshire Champion (And Pirate King of the Berkshires) Benjamin Blackwell were out next. Jimmy Limits came to ringside saying that his past actions had finally caught up with him. He had burned all his bridges and nobody would come be his partner so he was going to go it alone. But just before he could make his way into the ring, familiar music played. With the pop of a confetti cannon Foxx Vinyer made his way down to the ring to reunite the EchoBoomers. The EchoBoomers were on the very first TIW show 6 years ago, but have not teamed together in many years. Not since Limits' first reign as TIW Champion.
The EchoBoomers defeated SeaFire when Limits pinned Phoenix.
Post match Blackwell challenged Limits to a rematch at Snow Brawl, to prove that his win over Limits wasn't a fluke. So it looks like that match WILL be taking place in less than 6 weeks.
And then it was time for the Main Event. While Senior Official Adam Brunton was displaying the belt to both Jamar Justice and Justin Kase, Jamar stole the Championship and struck Kase in the head with it. The referees attempted to tell Justin he was in no condition to defend the title, but Justin waved them off and demanded they start the match. Jamar brutalized Justin the whole match, but couldn't keep him down with legitimate means so he resorted to putting his feet on the ropes for additional leverage.
Jamar Justice pinned Justin Kase to become the NEW TIW Champion...
BUT WAIT!!! Sweet Money Montgomery came out of the crowd with his phone where he had been recording the match and showed the footage to Adam. Adam ordered the match restarted and 2 Kase Closed kicks later...
Justin Kase pinned Jamar Justice to retain the TIW Championship!
And that's how it all went down folks. Six whole years later, TIW is still going strong. We would like to humbly thank everyone who came out the see us. We would also like to thank all of you who follow us online. Special Thanks to all of our staff and workers, without whom we would not be able to do this. And a special thanks to the Berkshire Family YMCA for giving us a home when we had spent several years with no place to run our events.
"Snow Brawl" is just under 6 weeks away and we so far know 2 matches...

Bovada Casino now accepts bitcoin, which is a digital currency that's gaining widespread acceptance. Proof of this acceptance is evident in the major retailers and financial institutions that now deal in it. Decentralized currencies like bitcoin provide users with anonymity and a host of other advantages, which is why bitcoin makes a lot of sense for an online casino that caters to U.S. players.
Bitcoin is now the preferred method of depositing funds into your Bovada Casino account among players because it is free to do so. There are ZERO transaction fees for making a deposit via Bitcoin.
Now let's look at what bitcoin is and how you make a bitcoin deposit at Bovada.
Bitcoin is a digital currency that's distributed through peer-to-peer mechanisms. If that seems unclear, then think of it as electronic money that you can send to a friend or online retailer over the Internet. This method is very fast and free of fees because it doesn't involve any central banks or financial institutions.
It's also very secure. P2P may not seem very secure to the uninitiated, but it is because of how bitcoin works. Bitcoin transactions include a public key and one or more private keys. Only you have your private key, and that key is never transmitted to anyone else's computer. No one can withdraw money from your account without that private key.
Why would you want to use bitcoin to make a deposit at Bovada? Because it's the only deposit method that has NO TRANSACTION FEES! If you are an active player moving money in and out of your account, these fees can seriously add up. But with bitcoin now as an option, you can save a lot of money and have much more freedom.
To make a bitcoin deposit at Bovada, you have to first acquire bitcoin. There are numerous ways to acquire bitcoin. The most common way is a bitcoin exchange. These exchanges are services that let you convert other currencies, such as the U.S. dollar or British pound, into bitcoin.
Bitcoin that you purchase are stored in your bitcoin wallet. Bovada now accepts bitcoin transfers from your bitcoin wallet – and with zero fees. You can acquire bitcoin through an exchange or other method, and then deposit it into your account at Bovada. We recommend buying bitcoin with Coinbase.com. However, you are not allowed to use Coinbase for any gambling. Just use Coinbase to buy or sell Bitcoin. Once you have Bitcoin, you can transfer it to another Bitcoin wallet such as an online wallet like Blockchain.info or a wallet on your smartphone such as BreadWallet.
This bitcoin stuff may sound complicated, but it's not – if you do all your bitcoin transactions through Coinbase. But remember, you are not allowed to gamble with Coinbase bitcoin, so just use Coinbase to buy or sell bitcoin.
Coinbase simplifies a lot of things. Typically, your bitcoin wallet is installed locally on your computer or mobile device. With Coinbase, rather than the hassle of installing and maintaining your bitcoin wallet on your desktop or phone, you can manage an online bitcoin wallet through your account at Coinbase.com. This removes the worries of making backups of your bitcoin wallet, getting your computer hacked, losing your mobile device, etc. Your bitcoin wallet is no longer installed locally, but online at Coinbase.
Coinbase also eliminates the hassle of buying and selling bitcoin in an open marketplace. With the Coinbase wallet, you "buy" bitcoin by depositing another currency at Coinbase's current rate. Then that bitcoin is available to you for merchant purchases or transferring to other people.
Coinbase allows for bank transfers as well as transfers from major credit cards and debit cards. Your account can be left unverified in order to maintain utmost anonymity. However, an unverified account may have daily transaction limits and transaction delays.
Just remember that Coinbase does not allow you to use your account for gambling. So you will need another bitcoin wallet to transfer to. For this, we recommend blockchain.info and BreadWallet.
Coinbase is extremely simple and works much like a traditional web wallet, such as PayPal or Google Wallet. Coinbase takes all the complexity out of bitcoins and allows you to easily buy and sell bitcoins, and transfer your funds in and out of your account.
Another big reason we like Coinbase is because the company was a proven bitcoin wallet back before bitcoin wallets became a prevalent service. This brand has been at the forefront of cryptosecurity as it concerns digital currency, and many of the techniques and measures that Coinbase innovated are now used by companies throughout the industry. Coinbase offers a consumer-friendly flat fee for all transactions, and all transactions are processed fast.
And if those reasons weren't enough, for a limited time, new customers can receive $10 free in bitcoin!
Prior to making a bitcoin deposit at Bovada, you'll need a valid Bovada account. Note that your account doesn't necessarily need to be fully validated in order to make a deposit, but it may need to be for a withdrawal.
Next, you'll need to have a bitcoin wallet connected to your Bovada account. As mentioned above, there are numerous bitcoin wallets to choose from, but we recommend Coinbase with great confidence.
Once you've registered a bitcoin wallet with Bovada, making a bitcoin deposit is a lot like making a deposit with your Visa or MasterCard. While logged in, go to the Deposit page on the Bovada website. Select bitcoin from the deposit method dropdown.

There Are Better Ways to Kill Traffic Than Lying to Waze
Aarian Marshall
There are ways to banish the traffic outside your door. Your just have to shell out some cold, hard cash.
cokada/Getty Images
It was desperation that turned the people of Takoma Park, Maryland into liars. Strangers' cars filled their streets, crowding the quiet Washington, DC suburb with interstate traffic asylum refugees.
The suburbanites retaliated by firing up Waze, the navigation app they blamed for routing the unwanted burst of traffic their way. They began reporting fake car crashes, according to The Washington Post, to stave off commuters hoping to beat traffic by taking their---yeah, their!---streets instead of the usual, clogged thoroughfares. Similar complaints about Waze-directed traffic on usually quiet side streets have popped up all over the place, in San Jose, Vancouver, and the spiritual home of traffic, Los Angeles.
Lying to the system hasn't worked. When one person reports a crash and every other driver says the road is clear, Waze knows what going on---and suspends the ne'er-do-wells. And it's not apologizing. "These cities are pained because their populations have outgrown infrastructure built in the 50s," says Julie Mossler, the Google-owned company's head of communications. These are public streets, and navigation apps take advantage of them. Waze didn't invent cut-through traffic, it just propagates it.
If you're determined to calm your cul de sac, however, there are better moves than lying to an app. Cities around the world are already doing that, using what civil engineers call "traffic calming" techniques that force vehicles to slow down---or choose another route. These street design choices take cooperation from local authorities, and they're not dollar-store cheap. But they work. Listen up, Takoma Park.
Pasadena, California, is a nationwide leader on traffic-fighting design techniques, and its big gun is the lowly speed hump. A council-approved regulation almost guarantees the things pop up three to four times on every 1,200-foot stretch of street, says Fred Dock, the director of the city's Department of Transportation. The real secret to traffic calming is to install them everywhere. Otherwise, navigation apps will find that extra bit of speed and exploit it ruthlessly. Of course, neighborhoods that get really into speed humps have to pay for them---about $2,500 a hump---and suffer their consequences, including wear and tear on their tires, brakes, and suspension systems.
Skinnier Streets
You've heard of the Atkins Diet and the Mediterranean Diet---get ready for the cake-friendly Road Diet. Road diets reduce the number of lanes on a street, using that extra space to widen sidewalks, create bike lanes, or insert extra strips of green. Studies show they slow down traffic and reduce crash frequency by up to 47 percent. That slowness makes residential streets unappealing to drivers fleeing congested arterials---and makes those who remain less likely to hit your kid on her bike. Another way to thin streets is to use "neckdowns", which narrow existing lanes at the entrance to residential streets. Tighter streets make drivers more cautious and aware, those these interventions can cost communities anywhere between $750 and $30,000 per mile.
Not This Way
Semi-diverters essentially slice intersections in half, only allowing one-way traffic to enter two-way roads. These $5,000 to $20,000 barricades can also be stuck on four-way intersections, to limit turn options. They are very, very good at throwing wrenches in street networks, which means fewer wandering cars will stumble upon the affected roads. Plus, cities can plunk plants or even trees in the centers of these semi-diverters. Less traffic and more green: What more can you ask for?
Baby Traffic Circles
These small, round traffic solutions---reserved, really, for neighborhoods and not crazy-busy streets---force incoming traffic to slow and yield to whoever's already in the circle. For $5,000 and $15,000, they won't force cars to stop, but they will (you guessed it!) slow everyone down.
Burn It All Down
The other option is ugly. It's brutal. Don't do it, probably. But the absolute best way to reduce cut-through traffic is to transform your neighborhood into a grid. Cut-through traffic "is particularly a problem in areas that try to concentrate traffic onto a few major roads, but leave only a few other routes besides main arterials connected," says David Levinson, a civil engineer with the University of Minnesota. Streets arranged as connected grids, on the other hand, "tend to distribute traffic more evenly." That means that even if your neighborhood's fave arterial road gets shuttered, vehicles fleeing congestion will spread out across the area. No one road will bear the brunt of the nuttiness.
Tragically, there are no shortcuts to beating residential traffic. Instead of using your phone to sabotage Waze, try using it to call your local transportation commissioner.

All hulls have a structural lay up equivalent to 2C offshore survey and feature solid glass to the waterline, and the extensive use of high strength, light weight sandwich composites in the topsides, decking, floors and bulkheads. Glass laminates are engineered with layers of hand laid multi-axial woven glass cloth ensuring uniform thickness and maximum strength. This reduces overall vessel weight, which reduces engine size, which reduces fuel consumption and fuel storage, which in turn further reduces weight helping these vessels to perform so well with smaller and more economical engines.
This dedication to high quality construction results in constant development of the product, and is further reflected in the final finish and attention to detail apparent on Voyager catamarans. The use of premium internal materials, linings and timber work again offers a luxurious feel but with durable and practical, easily maintained surfaces.


As property values continue to rise, many of us, who had previously considered estate planning as the concern of the very wealthy, must now plan to protect our wealth, ensuring that it can be passed from generation to generation, whilst minimising the tax burden.
The earlier you consider this issue, the greater your chances of taking full advantage of the tax opportunities available, maximising the amount your beneficiaries will receive. It is equally important that you make adequate provision for yourself and your spouse in your later years. Striking this balance requires that we have an in depth understanding of your circumstances and goals, as well as detailed knowledge of the tax regime.
Here at Bates Weston, whatever your circumstances, our trusts and estate expert can help you plan effectively for the future.
Assess the merits of establishing trusts from a family and tax perspective, taking into account related issues such as capital gains tax, inheritance tax and income tax.

While this development may well prove to be a good thing, at first glance it is somewhat confusing. From the vantage point of an outside observer, it looks something like a general manager of a baseball team announcing his intention to keep his two previous baseball managers knocking around the front office to "advise" the new guy on how to establish a different style of leadership. Bit awkward for everyone. Keep them around if you want, but why make the big announcement that seems to send mixed signals? Without wishing to take anything away from the good job done by either of these men in the past, I'm sure the SSPX leadership can appreciate why some traditional Catholics are a bit apprehensive over this announcement, since they were looking forward to the fresh approach of a 'new coaching staff' rather than an apparent reshuffling effort that may mean 'business as usual' when it comes to a whole host of problems blamed, fairly or not, on the previous 'coaching staff.' And this includes ardent supporters of Bishop Fellay, who only want what is best for the Society. (Michael J. Matt, "SSPX NEWS: Two New Assistants General Announced-- Bishop Fellay and Father Schmidberger", The Remnant, July 20, 2018)
So, is this now a scenario of "Meet the new boss; same as the old boss"? Time will tell. Concluding its General Chapter on July 21, the SSPX published a final address that included quotes from Abp. Marcel Lefebvre's declaration of Nov. 21, 1974:
"...No authority, not even the highest in the hierarchy, can force us to abandon or diminish our Catholic Faith, so clearly expressed and professed by the Church's Magisterium for twenty centuries. (…) That is why we hold fast to all that has been believed and practiced in the faith, morals, liturgy, teaching of the catechism, formation of the priest and institution of the Church, by the Church of all time; to all these things as codified in those books published before the Modernist influence of the Council. This we shall do until such time that the true light of Tradition dissipates the darkness obscuring the sky of Eternal Rome." (Source: "General Chapter final address", fsspx.news, July 21, 2018)
Yes, such has always been the mantra of Abp. Lefebvre and his followers. But the question that must be asked is: If they "hold fast to all that has been believed and practiced in the faith ... by the Church of all time", then does this not also include what the "Church of all time" (can there be any other?) has taught about the Papacy, the Church, and the Magisterium? For those who may not be quite sure what we are talking about, the following links will remove all doubt:
The Catholic Teaching on the Papacy
Does this apply to Francis?
The SSPX and "Pope" Francis: Theological Absurdistan on Full Display
As you peruse these posts, ask yourselves: Does the SSPX believe and teach this? Alas, the answer is no, they do not. And thus their entire project of "keeping the Faith" by contradicting that Faith will be as successful as a man trying to borrow his way out of debt. Image source: fsspx.news License: Fair use
Leaked Internal Paper...
SSPX's Fr. Schmidberger makes Case for Union with Rome
Former SSPX Superior General, Fr. Schmidberger, with the current one, Bp. Fellay
The Spanish-speaking "Resistance-SSPX" web site Non Possumus has published an internal letter of Fr. Franz Schmidberger, formerly the Superior General of the Society of St. Pius X (1982-94) and currently the head of the SSPX seminary in Zaitzkofen (Germany), in which he lays out the case for full canonical recognition by Modernist Rome under "Pope" Francis and responds to various objections. The three-page letter, dated February 19, 2016, is entitled Überlegungen zur Kirche und der Stellung der Priesterbruderschaft St. Pius X. in ihr ("Thoughts on the Church and the Status of the Society of St. Pius X in it"). Schmidberger essentially argues that reconciliation with the Vatican, while not without its dangers, would be of great benefit to the SSPX as well as the [Novus Ordo] church and allow the Lefebvrist society to shed its image of being "schismatic" and "rebellious". He contends, furthermore, that there is currently no conceivable way in which the crisis in the church can be overcome without a regularization of the SSPX: Official acceptance of the Society by Rome, Schmidberger argues, would trigger a "salutary commotion inside the church", leading good people to "receive encouragement" and bad people (i.e. Modernists, liberals) to "suffer a defeat." One particular point referred to in Fr. Schmidberger's paper is the urgent need the SSPX has for new bishops. Schmidberger says:
In the coming years, we have an urgent need for new bishops. In extreme necessity, it is certainly possible to consecrate such without a papal mandate. If, however, one can consecrate bishops with Rome's permission, one must ask for permission.
Non Possumus has translated the letter into Spanish and also provided the German original. A computerized (and therefore poor, and presumably from the Spanish) translation into English has been made available on the Cor Marieforum. UPDATE 29-APR-2016: A complete English translation is now available, approved by Fr. Schmidberger (see below):
German Original of Fr. Schmidberger's Feb. 19, 2016 Memo (PDF)
Unapproved Spanish translation and commentary by Non Possumus
Approved English translation by Richard Chonak, rev. by Michael J. Miller
Although we do not have the time to put up a complete and accurate translation from the original German into English, we can at least provide a translation of the one-paragraph conclusion Schmidberger gives at the end of the document:
If God wants to come to the aid of his Church, which is bleeding from a thousand wounds, in an efficacious way, He has a thousand ways to do so. Among these [thousand ways] is the official recognition of the Society [of St. Pius X] by the Roman authorities. Is the Society not consecrated to the Most Blessed Virgin, who will guard and guide her work also in a new situation? Dignare me laudare te, Virgo sacrata — da mihi virtutem contra hostes tuos, — Allow me to praise thee, holy Virgin; give me strength against thy enemies.
The bloggers at Non Possumus interpret Fr. Schmidberger's letter as a sign of the SSPX preparing an "imminent accord" with Rome. Although this is possible, and it is obviously Superior General Bp. Fellay's open intent to be accepted by Rome before long in one way or another, this leaked letter may be little more than simply the latest episode in the never-ending saga of the SSPX's dealings with Rome (originally begun in 2005 after the election of "Pope" Benedict XVI), one that by itself is of little special significance. Taken in context with other recent and and quite public devlopments, however, Fr. Schmidberger's letter may indeed take on greater weight:
Francis extends SSPX Faculties for Confessions beyond Year of Mercy
Vatican: SSPX Need Not Adhere to All of Vatican II for Canonical Recognition
Bp. Fellay: "We are on the Eve of Important Events"
Bp. Fellay: "I was appointed by Rome to judge SSPX Priests"
It remains to be seen what will actually happen, but it seems likely that Francis is determined to do something big for the SSPX during his "Year of Mercy", which ends on November 20 of this year, or, at the very least, before his false pontificate ends.

Bp. Fellay and Fr. Schmidberger elected "Advisors" to new SSPX Leadership
The Lefebvrist Society of St. Pius X has concluded its General Chapter in Swiss Ecône, which meets once every six years and elects a superior every twelve years. The election of the Superior General had been placed first on the agenda, and on July 11, the announcement was made that Fr. Davide Pagliarani had been elected, replacing Bp. Fellay, whose second term had come to an end.
On July 20, the penultimate day of the conference, the SSPX General House released another communiqué, which states:
The General Chapter of the SSPX has elected two General Councillors to serve on the Council of the Superior General, Father Davide Pagliarani, in accordance with the customs and law of the Church.

Q: How to add a onclick attribute to a list of checkboxes? I have this array for checkbox:
array(
        'name' => __('Latest Product',''),
        'desc' => __('Select if you want to display latest product',''),
        'id' => $prefix . 'checkbox',
        'type' => 'checkbox',
        'std' => ''
    )

I want to add an attribute for onclick="chk(electronics, this.checked);" on this.
How can I do it?

A: Store the ID in a variable, and access that variable using JavaScript:
<script>
document.getElementById("<?php echo $checkbox_id; ?>").onclick = function() {
    chk(electronics, this.checked);
}
</script>

You can also collect multiple IDs in an array and run through that array later in your script. But avoid the onclick attribute in markup, this is bloat and bad code style. :)

A: If you want to go with JQuery then use below code example.
JQuery:
//Temporary set electronics variable with blah, replace it with your code
var electronics = 'blah...';

//For set onclick attribute after page load
$('input:checkbox').each(function(){
        $(this).attr('onclick', 'chk(electronics, this.checked);');
});

For live example please check my JSFIDDLE. In this fiddle you can check functionality by click on any check box, it will prompt message with checked true/false...
This is based on your question, if it not as you want then please give some more detail what you want.

I developed this course in response to the gap between what I knew as the philosophy of yoga and my own relationship with my body, my challenges in intimate relationships, erratic menstrual cycle and feeling of purpose in the world. Despite decades on a mat, my inner world was still chaotic and the pressures of attempting to conform to the image of the yoga industry self defeating.
Freedom not to fit into the mould!
This will be a very special 8 days. It is open to all who are on the journey of self-discovery through yoga. This course will be of special benefit to the dedicated yogini who would like to build her own programs geared towards supporting women to reclaim their inherent spiritual power, self leadership and self-respect.
The point of this training is to support the physical, emotional and spiritual dimensions of women's health and share a wealth of techniques and practice for those working in this field, as to how to integrate the healing power of yoga in a practical, rooted and effective way.
Together, we will break through the standard narrative of contemporary yoga and make the content deeply relevant to EVERY woman's body and life.

Businesspeople, Doctors Launch $8 Million Fundraising Campaign For Moncton Hospital
by Inda Intiar

MONCTON – A drummer interrupts Robert K. Irving's speech as chair of the Extraordinary Care Campaign at the Avenir Centre on Thursday. He was there to provide the literal drum roll to Irving's announcement that the Friends of the Moncton Hospital Foundation is working to raise $8 million – its largest fundraising campaign ever.
So far, $5.6 million in donations and pledges have been raised, including $1 million from J.D. Irving. The money will be given over a five-year period. Individuals and businesses in the community are also encouraged to donate.
"I think leadership today comes from private enterprise as well as government, and I think private enterprise has to play a role in community," Irving said. "And it's very important because our employees use the hospital for their own personal care, and people in the community need the best healthcare facilities for their families."
The money will be used to build a maternity and newborn unit, and to relocate and expand the cardiac care unit. The hospital's neonatal section is far from being ideal right now, said David Savoie, foundation chair and owner of Acadian Construction.
"Last year, there was rust in the duct work and they had to shut down neonatal, and it's been a makeshift operation to keep neonatal going for now. But they absolutely need care. So, we don't select the project. People in the healthcare system tell us where they need help," he said.
The campaign is supported by many in the Greater Moncton business community. Individuals like Hawk Marketing senior advisor Bill Whalen are donors who also give their expertise to the campaign. Others, like former premier Frank McKenna and wife Julie, also donated. Businesses like ExxonMobil, Actus Law, RBC and others have also made monetary commitments.
The active participation of the private sector is needed, Savoie said.
"In New Brunswick and across Canada we've come to rely on the government. And it's a system that can no longer support what we'd like out of our healthcare system. And since we're using it, it's important for us as citizens and companies to give back and help fund what we need in our community," he said.
The new cardiac care unit would be larger, more modern and include private rooms for patients that are placed in a way that allows seamless care. The construction date for the building has not been set.
Dr. Ron Bourgeois, a cardiologist who is part of the campaign, said the new facility will be a "huge improvement" and will help the care ecosystem in the province.
"It's definitely to complement the services that are being done in the New Brunswick Heart Centre. If [patients] need to go to Saint John for an angiogram or a bypass surgery then they get it done there. Often we'll receive them back almost immediately," he said.
Dr. Ken Gillespie, an obstetrician who is also the chief of staff at the Moncton hospital, said the new neonatal facility will be a "quantum leap forward" to meet community needs.
"We're providing the same level of care as the IWK does. So I mean, to have that kind of expertise here just means patients don't have to travel to other cities and that we're able to look after New Brunswick patients in their own province," he said.
He said the new building, which will include an expanded and enhanced Labour and Birthing Unit, Neonatal ICU and Maternal Fetal Medicine Clinic, will benefit the communities where the hospitals may not be able to provide the same care.
"Smaller hospitals, they face their challenges. But when we need this level of care, we need to make sure that we're ready to provide it," he said.
The new facility aims to improve outcomes for the mothers, cut length of hospital stay and prevent the spread of infection, among other things. Construction will begin in June 2019, with occupancy scheduled for late 2021.

How Optimistic Were You After the 2014 Offseason?
Last year's Bears underachieved by nearly every measure. However, at this point last season, how did you feel about the club? Did you think more of the team during 2014's offseason or this year's?
By Steven Schweickert@SJS_illini May 24, 2015, 7:00am CDT
Share All sharing options for: How Optimistic Were You After the 2014 Offseason?
Hindsight is 20/20, as the saying goes. Last offseason saw a team full of promise unravel completely at every seam and collapse into a 5-11 unmitigated disaster. It was an offseason that saw Brandon Marshall complete his seventh consecutive year of 80 receptions and 1000 yards, Alshon Jeffery entering his third season and coming into his own, Matt Forte putting up a career high in yards from scrimmage with 1,933, and a new young cornerstone offensive lineman in Kyle Long. Coupled with the second year of Marc Trestman and coming off of a year being the #2 scoring offense in the NFL, hopes were high.
Of course, there were also downsides, such as an absolutely miserable defense in all aspects, including the final game of the season. The Bears in that offseason picked up Lamarr Houston and counted on growth from Jon Bostic to shore up the run defense, and picked up Jared Allen and Willie Young, as well as counted on Shea McClellin's third year, to improve an anemic pass rush.
Fast-forwarding to this offseason after a 5-11 finish and things seem to be looking up. The front office was cleaned out and the coaching staff completely replaced, as Ryan Pace and John Fox now lead the charge. Brandon Marshall was traded and Kevin White drafted #7 overall in his place. Pernell McPhee was picked up as the team's offseason prize, a new Swiss army knife for Vic Fangio's defense, along with Mason Foster, Sam Acho, and a bunch of 4-3 DEs converting to linebackers.
Again, hindsight is 20/20, and we all know last year's Bears were a miserable trainwreck to watch. However, which offseason made you feel better about the Bears? Did you feel better about the Bears when they were 8-8 and building to improve, or when they were 5-11 and starting over? Did you feel better about the team at this point last offseason, or this offseason?
Earlier this week we asked you how you graded this year's offseason. Do you feel better or worse about this offseason than last?


Ecochicks Poultry Ltd - 0727087285 > Poultry Farming > How much does a chicken farmer make a year?
In recent years, chicken farming in Kenya has become so trendy as to be commonplace.
As chickens need care every day, year-round, chicken farmers are not known for taking extended vacations so it is a profession to which a person must be very dedicated or have a staff on hand they trust.
Becoming a profitable chicken farmer takes a great deal of research in different methods to raise chickens and different ways to make money based on your area.


On 25 March 2019, INNOCOM joined forces with SU and organized 'Futurize your Mind' workshops that enable personal growth towards exponential leadership. These workshops are part of the Digital Leaders Competence Center initiative of INNOCOM Institute that are aimed at a select number of INNOCOM customers – for the most part innovation and C-level management members from different Belgian companies.
Like a tidal wave of innovative concepts, this 'Futurize Your Mind' event provided many exciting foundational insights to assist various industry leaders to ready themselves for an increasingly disruptive future. During stirring keynote speeches, each followed by practical workshop sessions, participants looked ahead and identified exponential techniques and opportunities to benefit from and which, as Digital Leaders, they could use to lead by example.
Our participants started this roller-coaster of a day by evolving towards an abundance mindset and understanding the concept of exponential thinking. This meant leaving behind their scarcity mindset and linear thinking. A healthy amount of unlearning the old value-creation logic prepared them for the workshops, where they applied their newly acquired insights. This was where new strategic opportunities took shape and they discovered new paths. Understanding these innovative concepts is one thing, actually walking down these new paths is another. Enter … new keynote speeches in the afternoon on exponential leadership competencies and frameworks, followed by practical team exercises that helped the participants do just that.
Exponential growth in an abundant world is a welcome change from local and linear thinking, which most of us are all too often indoctrinated with. At the end of the day, a new set of leaders emerged, prepared to take on their organizations' challenges with an open mind.

Should ACBL have North American Bridge Championship events and titles for all levels of players at NABCs?
Nicolas Hammond
You are ignoring the author of this comment. Click to temporarily show the comment.
Why would a new non-ACBL resident Bridge player want to come to the ACBL and play in a limited event? It is much easier to enforce the other way. The rules are much easier to enforce. TDs don't know until game time who is playing. A sign explaining open to ACBL residents, and a quick check once names are in the Bridgemates is much easier.
Please note perfectionism. North America includes countries/lands that are not members of the ACBL. I am specifically referring to players outside of ACBL land. These players have their own Bridge federations and their limited events (if offered).
There is no reason for these players to be allowed to play in ACBL limited national events.
We currently have the absurd situation that non ACBL resident World Champions are currently allowed to play in ACBL masterpoint limited national events. This seems to go against the whole point of having these types of events.
@Peg: What Kevin said.
Look at some of the past winners of the 0-<something you consider a small number> National event (that are no longer held). I played in some of these when I first started. One of the reasons to go to NABCs events - there was a 'National' event I had a chance of winning.
Some of these winners were from non-ACBL countries, but had substantial bridge experience in their native countries.
I remember one, I think it was the 0-99er, where the winners played Multi (no-one challenged them during the day), and had substantial experience in their own country. No-one prevented them from entering because they had 0 ACBL MPs.
Everyone wants a level playing field, so if you are not resident in ACBL-land, you should not be allowed to enter these limited masterpoint events. Simple.
You & Kevin should not be allowed to compete in the South Slobbovian National Champion 0-49er event.
If implemented, any national MP restricted event below, say, 5000 MPs, should be restricted to those members resident in ACBL land.
Honolulu: THE 7NT Blue Ribbon Contract
It would be nice to see the video.
ACBL has published the playlist from the Kaplan (Blue Ribbon) pairs here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLcAft4FoUHzQNf9bkV18dgfy7CGYsXEF9
There is only video for tables 1-11 in section A for this session.
The long BW discussion (now closed) is at https://bridgewinners.com/article/view/honolulu-brp-7nt-lead-discussion/
There were other discussions as well.
The board was board 23, first session of final day of Kaplan Blue Ribbon pairs. Grue/Levin were EW 13 in Section B. Glubok/Antonson were NS 6. There were 13 tables, simple Mitchell. This board would have been played in round 7.
Here's the action from Board 23 in Section A (NOT these players) at Table 6 in Round 7, just to give you an idea of tempo of top level players. I could have used any of the 10 other tables.
Before you look at it; I will tell you that N/S passed throughout. E/W reached 7♠. How long do you think the auction took? The players first take their cards out here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8dF9qQCQQ9U&t=2h12m51s
This is with one round of bidding to go
In case you are wondering how could it take so long, Martel's second bid took over 3 minutes.
It starts here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8dF9qQCQQ9U&t=2h13m50s and ends here
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8dF9qQCQQ9U&t=2h17m1s
The final passes behind screens took 20 seconds (2:18:42->2:19:01). Admittedly this is on the side of the person on lead.
Here's the runner's up playing the same board. Cards out at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XJnfI8qRElY&t=2h43m5s. Auction finishes at 2:51:04.
The question is why ACBL has not published tables 12-13 for section A; and also why there is no video for section B.
Club Table Counts Revisited
@Jeff: Approximately 70% of players with < 750 MPs were from CA. How close to SF, I don't know.
There were approximately 70 players from NY (not sure if NYC) with < 1000 MPs.
If the 0-99 etc. national events are brought back (I remember playing in them), then they need to be restricted to ACBL residents. I remember playing in one where a couple from Germany (I think) happened to be on vacation at the city. They joined ACBL. Were assigned 0 MPs, and promptly won the event. Their equivalent in points for their home country was in the thousands.
How would you try to win a 28-board match by 77 IMPs?
Top players only make approximately 2/3 of all contracts at IMPs. So double them in the 1/3 of the contracts that will go down.
Look for 6 of a minor instead of 3NT.
Be willing to try 3NT instead of 4 of a major in a 5/3 fit (assuming that 3NT is a reasonable contract).
Review tactics after 12 boards.
Here's a write-up of a comeback of my team's comeback of 68 IMPs in 28 boards from 2006 mini-spin event.

"Detecting Cheating in Bridge" by Nic Hammond. Preliminary thoughts
I have just finished processing all the data from San Francisco (NABC 193). Some interesting information. I have data back to NABC 133 (fall of 2013). 19 tournaments though the data on NABC 133 is sparse and there are many missing hand records from NABC 173.
If I look at just the NABC+ open pairs events. The MF factor for NABC 193 is 1.546. This is higher than the average (1.439). This is the fourth highest MF value for open pairs events since 2013 (no records before then).
The percentage of makeable contracts made was 91.4%. This is the highest on record. The second highest was NABC 192 - just after the book was published. The average is 89.6%. I'd like to think that the book helped. Players know in ACBL events that they are being video-recorded and, since the summer of 2019, they are know aware that their results are analyzed. Obviously, if you are cheating, you are more likely to be cheating on defense, the fact that more makeable contracts are being made is either the declarer play is better, the defense is weaker or there is less cheating.
Open San Francisco Discussion Thread
@Debbie: My partner (has played internationally) requested and received a one time waiver for the BRP. I don't know about the mini-blues.
SF NABC Trip Report
Assuming that North enters the score after each board, you know how long each board takes.
You can now ask the players after the match is over why one board took so long, or compare with the result from the other table.
Or… you follow the ACBL rules and issue penalties to both teams if their final board is reported late. The penalties get progressively worse the more often you are late.
Once you have and use the technology, you see ways of using it to improve the game.
The NABC Swiss events were routinely taking 70+ minutes per round.
When D7 implemented the late penalties, we had one slow player (board member) who unfortunately thinks he is a fast player. First three rounds his team was late. It is always, "the other team" never him. Complained so loudly to the TD that they stopped issuing penalties.
DEMIREV wins North American Swiss
The problem is that the crowds are too big and always around the directors entering the scores making it difficult to turn in results.
Much better is the same but done electronically. This way you can see the rankings change as scores are reported. It is the same; but much easier to see how rankings change when scores are reported. See Bridgescore+ at the next regional where it is run and you will see what I mean.
Foreign players are typically allowed a one-time exemption. This is usually handled by the tournament DIC (Ken in this case). It is rare for foreign players to be given a two time exemption. (My partner in the BRP was foreign and we had to get the exemption, but he won't be allowed next time).
Simple. Run software with electronic scoring devices. For example, Bridgescore+ records the time that the boards are entered. If the last board is entered late; there is a penalty. We did this at a Regional. The slowest players happened to be on the District Board. And… you can guess what happened next. No more penalties.
It is trivial to enforce slow play in Swiss events with technology. Just takes some political will.

Bridgescore+ has been offered to ACBL for the last few NABCs. It is run at some regionals. Displays all results and assignments on a projector (or monitor). All assignments are done by computer. Players enter scores through Bridgemates or monitors. TDs hardly do anything. Runs ACBL Swiss events about 20-30 minutes faster per session. Requires far fewer TDs to run, particularly for the larger Swiss events. Can have multiple projectors throughout the room and also multiple input stations throughout the room.
ACBL did run one day of the National Swiss at one NABC. Each session finished about 20-30 minutes quicker than normal. The problem is that once it is set up at round 1, it requires almost no TD intervention so the TDs had little/nothing to do.
Bridgescore+ has been certified by the ACBL to run Swiss events.
Can create ACBLscore game files at the end of the session.
See http://training.bridgescoreplus.com. See the set of videos on Swiss.
Gatlinburg (ACBL's largest regional) has used Bridgescore+ for team games for last several years.
What's the position, post-Boye Revelations?
The DBV and WBF made procedural mistakes during the W-E case(s) which effectively negated the case(s).
Party Table ! in a Regional Open Pairs
Make sure you congratulate the DIC of the event. They are the ones that will have made this decision.
Greedy B*st*rd in the Poker World
It's statistics. Nothing can be 100%; similar to Fantoni/Nunes.
However, as more boards are added, the statistical probability of this being a false/positive can be calculated.
Yes. There is. I wrote a book on it.
Shameless plug. http://www.detectingcheatinginbridge.com
Finding the best algorithms to detect cheating was difficult/time-consuming. But the software correctly identifies the known recent cheaters (FN, BZ, FS, Doktors, PS) as well as identifying pairs such as Buratti/Lanzarotti as a cheating pair. It also identifies some other pairs that I suspect will be found guilty soon…
The differences between top players is very small making the work difficult, however the different between cheating players and top pairs in certain parts of the game is measurable and quantifiable. Given sufficient boards and the right software, cheating pairs can be identified.
See http://www.detectingcheatinginbridge.com/selections.html and look at the snippets from Chapters 13, 28, 29. The data is best presented in charts/graphs not tables.
But… it is very important to understand the data behind the data.
There are pairs that have exceptional tournaments. This is statistically expected. What is not statistically expected is that you can identify a pair that will have a statistically exceptional tournament before the tournament happens. I did identify a pair to WBF before Wuhan. This pair did have an exceptional tournament. I should not be able to do that unless this pair was cheating. We will see what happens next…
And…. at some point I need to start listing some of the ACBL based players who have statistical "anomalies".
Beth Palmer (1952-2019)
She also had 11 second place finishes. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beth_Palmer
(TL/DR. Beth's Wikipedia page was created in 2014. At the time she had 26 NABC wins. No-one had updated the page for her wins since 2014. Anyone can edit Wikipedia. There are many other players/events that are in need of updates).
Beth had 29 NABC wins, not 26. I updated Wikipedia.
