Glazer caps Manchester United’s player transfer spending at £25m a year

Saturday, June 11, 2005

The intentions of Manchester United’s new owner, U.S. sports tycoon Malcolm Glazer, for the club have been revealed. Although spokespersons for Mr. Glazer (including his son) have stressed that nothing has been finalised, it appears that he intends to raise ticket prices, income, profits whilst capping spending on player transfers.

Mr. Glazer – who owns over 76.2% of the club’s shares through his investment company, Red Football – enraged fans when he started to accumulate shares earlier this year in an attempt to gain control of the what amounts to the world’s most successful football club. Manchester United has more fans, a higher market value, a more valuable and more widely recognised brand and is more profitable than any other football club in the world.

To gain control of the club, Glazer used borrowed money and he is set to transfer this money to the club’s books when he gains full control. The borrowed money will result in large interest repayments – pushing the clubs finances into the red. To counter this Mr. Glazer apparently intends to raise ticket prices by about 50% and to increase revenues by 52% to £245.6m (from £161.5m this year) over the next five years. Apart from ticket price increases, this jump in revenue will be achieved by a 61% jump in match day sales, a 13% increase in media sales, and a 76% rise in sales of merchandise and other commercial activities.

As part of his plans, expenditure on player transfers will be capped at just £25m a year. This is a very low figure for a English football club endeavouring to win domestic and European trophies. Seven years ago the club spent £28m on players, since then expenditure in England on players has increased hugely.

The Benefits Of Cold Stone Therapy

By Matilda French

Cold stone massage is a good way for you to provide stress relief and help your body in relaxing. This method also aids your mind so that it can let go of all its anxieties and trauma. If someone is suffering from a sporting injury wherein the muscle becomes swollen and inflamed, a good cold stone massage should do the trick as well. The cool stones together with a soothing human touch will be able to calm your body and senses. This type of massage is currently gaining popularity because of all the advantages that you will get from it. The following are just some benefits of cold stone therapy:

— Smooth marble stones are normally used for this therapy because it has the ability to retain cold temperature. The coldness that these stones provide, once it is placed on your body will help you ease up your anxiety level. These cold marble stones will assist your mind so that it will only focus on the body and not on the pertaining mental stress.

— Another thing that cold stone massage therapy will be able to soothe would be sinus problems. What therapists usually do is place this cold stones on top of a cloth and then position it over the face. The coldness of the stones will work to diminish the nasal swelling and therefore, it will reduce the sinus congestion.

— Menstrual pains and bloating can be a monthly problem for most women. If you are suffering from this type of condition every month, then it is recommended that you also get a cold stone massage regularly. This is because menstrual pains can be calmed by this type of massage. Once cold stones are placed in the abdominal part of the body, the swelling of the uterus will be lessened thus diminishing any menstrual discomfort that you are feeling at the moment.

— A cold stone massage is also a good way of boosting blood circulation. If cold marble stones are placed strategically on the correct locations on the body, it will definitely improve the overall blood circulation of the body. When this happens, a good cold stone massage may also reduce the possibility of high blood pressure.

— Tendinitis and other sports injuries may also benefit from the treatment that you will get through cold stone massage. Cryotherapy or cold therapy actually soothes the inflammation of the muscles and joints by radiating through the painful area to reduce the swelling.

— Studies also indicate that getting regular cold stone massage can support a healthy immune system. Since this type of massage helps in reducing the level of stress hormone cortisol through its relaxation properties, enhanced immunity is very possible.

— One of the benefits of cold stone therapy includes the revitalizing of your energy levels. When you undergo a cold stone massage, the cold stones that hold and radiate the cold temperature will help contract the muscles in your body. It will also help alleviate any bloating and would boost the energy levels throughout your body.

Indian IT minister says government will not censor social media

Wednesday, February 15, 2012

Indian Information Technology (IT) minister Kapil Sibal said at a Mumbai IT summit that the government has no plan to censor social media. “We have never had any intention nor did we ever say we are going to censor social media,” he said, “but we do believe that all media must obey the laws of this country”.

Sibal’s government had planned last year to introduce guidelines to prevent “blasphemous material” on the internet. Google suggested the plans were unconstitutional and against the freedom of speech. Google later removed offensive contents when the court ordered.

21 companies including Google and Facebook were brought to court regarding some of their sites’ content last year. The court found the companies responsible for developing means to counter unacceptable content. Sibal said it had nothing to do with the government; “It is between the complainant and those who have been called”.

US Senate finance committee to vote on health care bill

Friday, October 9, 2009

US Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has said that the Senate Finance Committee will vote on a sweeping health care reform bill next Tuesday. US President Barack Obama has made clear that extending health insurance coverage to as many Americans as possible is his top domestic priority.

Republican lawmakers, however, are still overwhelmingly opposed to the bill, saying it is too expensive and would expand the role of government in people’s health care.

Obama and his fellow Democrats in the Senate received some good news late Wednesday from the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office, which put the total cost of the Senate Finance Committee’s health care bill at $829 billion over the next decade, below Obama’s stated goal of $900 billion. The budget watchdog organization also said the health care bill would help reduce the federal budget deficit over the next ten years.

Harry Reid said he believed health care reform was moving forward. “And so today we stand closer than ever to fulfilling that fundamental promise, one for which we have fought for more than 60 years,” he said.

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, however said that the cost estimate was “irrelevant”, because the final bill that will actually emerge from both houses of Congress is likely to look very different and cost a lot more. “What matters is that the final bill will cost about a trillion dollars, vastly expand the role of government in people’s health care decisions, increase premiums and limit choice,” McConnell said.

McConnell said Republicans favor a step by step approach to health care reform, focusing on prevention and wellness programs and dealing with the high costs of malpractice insurance doctors have to pay due to fears of excessive lawsuits.

Under the Finance Committee’s bill, US residents would be required to get health insurance or face a penalty, and insurance companies would face tough new regulations. For example, insurance companies could no longer reject coverage for people due to pre-existing conditions.

The Senate Finance Committee is likely to pass the bill, which will then have to be merged with one passed by the Senate health committee before it goes to the full Senate floor for debate.

Sports Betting In A Nutshell

Sports bettinghave been a part of human culture on every continent on Earth. Placing a wager on the outcome of a game has been a part of sports life. There is not a single sport you can name that doesn’t have some kind of betting audience.For many peoplesports bettingis a harmful way to add excitement to your favorite sports. For some people, sports betting is more than just a way to spice up a favorite past time; it is big business. All over the world, bets are placed on basketball, horse racing, football, soccer, baseball, and every other sport you can name. Some people win big, some people win consistently and others consider sports betting as their permanent source of income.One of the biggest questions surrounding sports betting is whether or not the activity is legal. The fact is that in many parts of the world, sports betting is legal. Most of Europe and Asia regulate sports betting quite heavily, but bettors can place their wagers without fear of legal reprisals. North America is a different story. In Canada and the United States, wagering on sports is only actually allowed in four states: Nevada, Delaware, Montana, and Oregon. Of these, only Nevada actually allows sports gambling outfits to operate.Now, this does not necessarily mean that North Americans are out of luck if they want to wager on a game. The Internet has opened up a wide range of opportunities for residents west of the Atlantic to places bets on sports, although they must do so through books operated in an area where sports gambling are legal. Even so, the status of those operations is a little bit shady.Let’s take a deeper look at what sports betting is all about and how does it workHow does sports betting work? Heres how. Official sports bets, those which take place through bookies rather than buddies, are carefully measured odds offered by shrewd business number crunchers. The sports books offer several different kinds of bets, all of which are designed so that the book itself makes a profit no matter the outcome of the event. That profit is known as the vigorish (vig for short). It’s usually around $10, paid by the person who loses the wager.Generally, bettors will select one of two options when wagering on a sports event. The first is the money line, in which a straight up win by the team picked will result in money returned to the bettor.They look like this, in a baseball game:Chicago White Sox -200New York Yankees +150That example tells us two things. First of all, the White Sox are the favorites. That’s indicated by the negative sign. If you bet the Sox, then you have to put down $200 in order to win $100. That’s the second thing the example shows us; the amounts indicate how much you win if the team you select comes out on top. For the Yankees, the underdogs, you only have to pay $150 to get a shot at that hundred bucks. But, of course, the Yankees will have to win (Just kidding because Im a Yankee fan)!So there you have it, sports betting in a nutshell. I hope that youve learned a lot.

Wikinews’ overview of the year 2007

Monday, December 31, 2007

What would you tell your grandchildren about 2007 if they asked you about it in, let’s say, 20 year’s time? If the answer to a quiz question was 2007, what would the question be? The year that you first signed on to Facebook? The year Britney Spears and Amy Winehouse fell apart? The year author Kurt Vonnegut or mime Marcel Marceau died, both at 84?

Let’s take a look at some of the international stories of 2007. Links to the original Wikinews articles are in bold.

ARM to be bought by SoftBank

Tuesday, July 19, 2016

The United Kingdom’s (UK) largest technology company, ARM Holdings, confirmed on Monday morning that it had accepted an offer from the Japanese company, SoftBank.

ARM designs microchips used in many devices, including smart phones made by Apple and Samsung. It is expected to invest in the so-called Internet of Things, where many everyday items are expected to be connected to the internet into the future.

The deal, worth £24 billion (US$32 billion), is now expected to be presented to shareholders. The amount offered per share is 43% above the value at the close of trading on Friday. Shares rose by 45% on Monday morning in response to the announcement. Three-quarters of shareholders will need to approve the deal for it to go ahead.

ARM has said its headquarters will remain in Cambridge. Simon Segars, ARM’s Chief Executive, also said a pledge by SoftBank to double ARM’s workforce on the UK would be legally binding.

Philip Hammond, the UK Chancellor, said it would be the biggest investment into the UK from Asia, as well as showing that “Britain remains one of the most attractive destinations globally for investors to create jobs and wealth”. Theresa May, the UK Prime Minister, had recently questioned the benefit to the nation of such takeovers, but has said this one shows the UK can remain successful outside the European Union.

State Farm Insurance allegedly destroying papers

Tuesday, April 11, 2006

Zach Scruggs, a lawyer for United States Senator Trent Lott, says that State Farm Insurance Company is destroying records related to claims for damage from Hurricane Katrina.

The records allegedly contain information saying that State Farm fraudulently denied insurance claims made by its policy holders, including Lott, that had homes there were damaged or destroyed when Hurricane Katrina came ashore on the Gulf Coast.

Scruggs said that Lott has “good faith belief” that many employees of the insurance company in Biloxi, Mississippi are destroying engineer’s reports that were inconclusive as to whether or not water or wind was the main cause of damage to the buildings affected by the hurricane.

Lott is among thousands of home and/or business owners who had their property damaged or destroyed during the hurricane and had their claims denied because State Farm claimed that their policies don’t cover damage caused by floods or water that was driven by the wind.

State Farm has not issued a statement on the matter so far.

Do You Suspect Your Husband Is Sleeping With Prostitutes?}

Submitted by: Ed Opperman

Are you worried that your husband or boyfriend is sleeping with prostitutes? Usually your first instincts are correct. The old expression about a woman’s intuition is based more on fact than just fiction. Infidelity can take many shapes and forms but historically the most difficult form of infidelity to discover is when a man is cheating with prostitutes or escort services. Infidelity with prostitutes is usually more anonymous and without any emotional ties so a man sleeping with a prostitute will leave less clues to his adultery.

In the past the only way a man could find a prostitute was on a street corner, a brothel or hotel bar. But today the majority of prostitutes find their clients over the Internet. There are web sites, blogs, message boards and even entire online communities devoted to prostitutes who call themselves “providers” and their clients who call themselves “hobbyists”. They rate each other and give reviews based on price, cleanliness, honesty and attractiveness. They will also blackball members for things like dishonesty or STDs.

There are also “adult dating” sites that also cater to prostitutes. Sometimes you’ll even find porn stars advertising their services on these adult dating sites. If you suspect your husband or boyfriend is sleeping with prostitutes there are some steps you can take to either confirm or dispel your suspicions but you should do something. It’s not healthy to live in doubt, distrust and suspicion. It’s not good for yourself or the health of your relationship. Suspicion and distrust will breed only contempt.

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EWZxThGh5wQ[/youtube]

The dangers from these sites are not just to your marriage. Your family could be exposed to blackmail. Many of these organized escort rings will blackmail their clients. If the client does no pay the extortion they will send pictures and videos to your family, friends neighbors and coworkers. Imagine the embarrassment of walking into your place of employment and everyone has seen pictures of your husband with a prostitute.

Today with so much infidelity originating on the Internet a cottage industry of private investigators has grown up that can investigate online activity to uncover infidelity or other inappropriate behavior. You can find secret dating service memberships, locate secret email addresses and Myspace pages. You can also find out if they are members of escort service communities and porn cam sites.

Internet investigators can even find out if your husband has been visiting porn sites.

If you decide to hire an investigator to look into this be sure to hire someone that has experience in online infidelity investigations. Do a Google search on the company name to see if they are recognized as an expert in the field and be sure to compare pricing and turn around times before deciding on who to hire. If you suspect your man is sleeping with prostitutes you need to find out the truth.

Also try to find a PI that can also handle background reports, asset checks and computer forensics., If the case escalates to a divorce and custody proceeding you can same time ,money and embarrassment if you can stay with the same PI.
