A couple other points-Sure, you are in a terrible situation, but there are some positives to focus on:1. At the income level you have described, you meet every charitable income requirement imaginable. You aren't close to the cut-off.2. You probably wish you had the cancer instead of your son, but in terms of charity and organization, there are a lot more organization to help children and youth than adults.3. Cancer survival rates are ever-increasing and while medical treatment available in the U.S. is expensive, it is world-class.I think you get my point. Also, I think you will be surprised h

I should have put the NGOs first. Hospitals will be more interested in getting paid unfortunately. Start with the charities on the link. A few of them are cancer-focused. Good luck.Charities Children's organizations Children's Hospice InternationalSt Jude Children's Research Hospital Shriners Hospitals for Children Bear Necessities Pediatric Cancer Foundation Children's Neuroblastoma Cancer Foundation Ronald McDonald House Charities etc.

The internet breeds skepticism and harshness. That's its nature. However, I never understand why people don't weigh of the risk/reward of calling someone out. Reward: you spotted a scam/joke/whatever (but one that did not appear to be hurting anyone at this point). Risk: you have just suggested an overwhelmed father trying to help his sick son should die. I, personally, am going to assume he is telling the truth, and not looking for fakecancerstakeaments. Anyway: As some people have mentioned, your focus is off. You are trying to make quick money to pay for treatment. Instead, you should be tr

If funds are seized in transit, Neteller's argument is that it is unable to transfer funds to U.S. customers at this time because funds will be seized in transit. I wouldn't focus on the $55 vs $340 million figures. It makes sense for Neteller to clarify its standing with the DoJ before acting.

Redpill eventually got spooked when someone posted his personal information on his blog. With that gone, he faded away like Puff the Magic Dragon.

1. DN wants to be judged by his stated intentions in terms of the blackface issue. He says he didn't intend to offend and knows the historical context of blackface.2. Phil Gordon says he didn't intend to insult E-dog or his play. If DN wants others to base their opinion on what he says he intended, he should do the same for PG. I'm not going to guess your intention for coming down so hard on the PG article.Lastly, you don't have to fight everyone's battles DN. The soft-sell opinion works wonder, unlike continuing to alienate section after section of your readers. I guess I now understand what

I wonder if Allyn Shulman over at Cardplayer is eating her hat.published: 123 days agoLegal Landscape of Online Gaming Has Not ChangedAnalysis From CardPlayer's EGO Counsel"The Future First of all, nothing is going to happen for 270 days. The Secretary and the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System have 270 days (after the bill is signed by the president) to come up with enforcement policies and procedures. Those procedures are directed to the behavior of banks and credit card companies. The procedures will be a nightmare."She obviously forgot that other agencies can freeze assets an

Spot on. Any direct sanction would only apply to Antigua/U.S. trade for the estimated loss of the trade. I doubt the U.S. will cry if Antigua stops importing Nike shoes.

You're right that it is extremely complicated and I get myself confused often, and you are also correct in that it is all about market access.Check out this case currently in arbritation. The outcome of the arbritation will signal to me whether international trade pressure will change the U.S. legislation or whether it will have to happen domestically (and both at a snail's pace)http://www.wto.org/english/tratop_e/dispu_...s_e/ds285_e.htmThe key parts are:GATS Art. XVI:1 and 2 (market access commitment): The Appellate Body upheld the Panel's finding that theUnited States acted inconsistently w

While many of the posters in this thread have demonstrated some knowledge of U.S. constitutional law (and a few cuckoo cuckoo banana posts), the international trade aspect of this issue appears grossly misunderstood.American attempts to block internet gambling violate WTO trade agreements by discriminating against foreign producers of gambling services (under the principle of national treatment). Ultimately, this discrimination will eventually be addressed either by the U.S. changing its legislation to comply (but not necessarily allowing internet gambling) or face trade sanctions from complai

Many of you are way too defensive. That is as close to a truce blog as it comes, when someone is responding to being called a hack. Let it go.Save the hate for all of DN's other beefs: Raymer, Duke, Ferguson, WPT7, the NFL, meat, real estate, final table structures, the WSOP, airlines, teacher's salaries, golf hustlers, pokemon, George Bush, etc.

Bad move going in without a lawyer. This should not be construed as legal advice, but if I was in that situation, I would see if your local law school has a legal clinic and if you qualify for assistance. Students are supervised by client lawyers and can guide you through the process.If you have no record, you will most likely be pushed out of the system with diversion. You will have no accessable record, but the charge with come up on cop's computer. You may get a few hours of community service.See if you can talk to the Crown assigned to your case. Ask them what they are gunning for and reas

With much and sincere respect, do you ask yourself why you are such an online idiot magnet?Maybe it's just the spots I see, but more than a few times I've seen threads where you and someone go back and forth; you make good points and then start foaming and make many more posts over the line. People start asking for your ban, things cool and the process repeats.You have an extensive network of friends on here and a real history, why does this happen again and again?

"PokerStarsPokerStars accepts ePassporte, Visa, MasterCard, Western Union and players can actually send checks to the site." The sounds convenient. I'm going to send that out by carrier pigeon immediately.

My great granpappy had a name for this situation...BANK RUN!!!!!!!

http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/showflat...e=0#Post8351829 The PPA appears to be either ineffective lobbyists or scammers. They are not a transparent not-for-profit organization and appear to have done little work on the lobbying front according to the law firm that Two plus Two hired to look into them.

Wow, you are angry, aren't you? Blinded by my youth and ignorance, if I were to guess my troll content, I'd say I'm 10% troll. You should realize that your flip-out comments would truly satisfy the hunger of goat stalking hardcore Troll, right?I meant no disrespect to Actuary, perhaps I'll review my wording to see how I can place odds on a silly prediction without offending. Actuary seems smart and hygienic. He/she can come over to dinner, we're having Stovetop tonight. I see him/her as no better or worse than someone who has passed all the exams and filled out all the forms. My prediction bo

Thread jack:I have a theory that people who give themselves specific descriptive nicknames or identifiers almost never fit that description.I think when someone wants to be something, they look to others to reinforce that identity goal through the name. But, if you already in fact meet that description, you have no desire to be pigeon-holed into that identifier or it just isn't a big deal. I guess the exception is where someone is consumed by something and wants to be identified with it like DNA.For example, if someone on this site calls themselves a FootballChamp, I doubt they have had much s

I saw a news segment on how someone had written a paper on the expected value calculation involved in "Deal or No Deal". I can't remember which one I looked at originally, but there are quite a few that review the calculation and how the show offers amounts to induce behavior.Here a few sites/papers on it:http://www.cbs.dk/content/download/51689/7...en_igel_lau.pdfhttp://www.pearsonified.com/2006/03/deal_o...e_real_deal.phphttp://everydayecon.wordpress.com/2005/12/...deal-or-no-deal

1. I understand you're frustrated, but the kid who tipped the police (indirectly) should not be the target of your frustration. Instead, it should be your state's position on these games.2. Brad, seriously, enough of this nonsense. You have a completely delusional perspective of the law. People have tried again and again to show you that your view is incorrect (like here). Stop spreading that crap.Vont, you are wasting your breath concerning point 2. The man will not listen to reason, though posting serves to let others know his position is incorrect.

Like the folk etymology of many terms, no one knows exactly how the term developed. It's funny that people are convinced the version he/she heard has to be the real one.Wiki lists a number for 86'd.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/86_(number)Possibly a reference to article 86 of the New York state liquor code which defines the circumstances in which a bar patron should be refused service or "86ed". Another theory has it that this is rhyming slang for "nix." Interestingly, this seems to be an American coinage, unusual for rhyming slang.[1] Others have suggested that this usage originated from the f
