Tselnik: Check, Raise, or Fold: Poker and the Unlawful Internet Gambling E NOTE CHECK, RAISE, OR FOLD: POKER AND THE UNLAWFUL INTERNET GAMBLING ENFORCEMENT ACT I. INTRODUCTION Gambling permeates throughout American society. One cannot watch television without stumbling upon a poker show,' listen to the radio without hearing the amount of today's lotto jackpot,2 or go on the Internet without encountering an advertisement for a gambling website. When one thinks of this country's history, the image of the frontier saloon with its raucous drinking and debauchery goes hand in hand with gambling, mainly poker. In nearly every state in the Union, to one extent or another, there exists some form of legalized gambling.3 With such an ever pervasive culture of gambling in this country, why is Internet gambling the bane that needs to be eradicated from modem society? The Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act of 20064 ("Act" or "UIGEA") is only the most recent legislation passed by Congress in an attempt to curb the ongoing "problem" that is Internet gambling.5 Simply stated, the Act prevents those transactions that are deemed restricted from being settled through any financial institution, including banks and credit cards.

La vita dei Bowen ruota quasi esclusivamente attorno agli uomini della famiglia finchè un giorno si verifica un triste evento: Johnny (Jesse Lee Soffer), il fratello maggiore di Gracie - suo unico alleato all’interno della famiglia - rimane ucciso in un incidente automobilistico. Gracie decide di riempire il vuoto lasciato dal fratello impiegando tutti i suoi sforzi per convincere suo padre e i suoi fratelli che lei è forte abbastanza per realizzare il sogno che suo fratello rincorreva da sempre: segnare il gol della vittoria nella sua squadra di calcio. Per vincere questa sfida però trascurerà la scuola, allontanando i suoi amici e rischiando di perdere il fidanzato.

Dopo “Il bacio che aspettavo”, un altro film generazionale che parla ai teenager e ai loro genitori.

    REPRESENTATIONS OF SOCIAL MEDIA IN POPULAR DISCOURSE REPRESENTATIONS OF SOCIAL MEDIA IN POPULAR DISCOURSE By PAMELA INGLETON, B.A. (Hons), M.A. A Thesis Submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy McMaster University © Copyright by Pamela Ingleton, December 2017 McMaster University DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY (2017) Hamilton, Ontario (English and Cultural Studies) TITLE: Representations of Social Media in Popular Discourse AUTHOR: Pamela Ingleton, B.A. (Hons) (Queen’s University), M.A. (McMaster University) SUPERVISOR: Professor Lorraine York NUMBER OF PAGES: ix, 248 ii Lay Abstract This sandwich thesis of works published from 2010 – 2017 considers how we talk and write about social media in relation to a variety of other concerns: authorship and popular fiction, writing and publishing, archives and everyday life, celebrity and the opaque morality of media promotion. The project addresses social networking platforms (primarily Twitter and Facebook) and those who serve and critique their interests (authors, readers, academics, “everyday people,” national archives, celebrities and filmmakers), often focusing on the “meta” of the media they take as their focus: “extratexts,” reviews and interviews, tweets about books and books about tweets, critical reception, etc. By examining writing on and about social media, this work offers an alternative, context-specific approach to new media scholarship that, in its examination of things said and unsaid, will help inform our contemporary understanding of social media and, by extension, our social media experience. iii Abstract This sandwich thesis of works published from 2010 – 2017 takes up the discursive articulation of “social media” as a mobilizing concept in relation to a variety of other concerns: authorship and popular fiction, writing and publishing, archives and everyday life, celebrity and the opaque morality of media promotion.

This season, UNI baseball opens its lOOth season with 952 wins all-time. (No baseball team was fielded in 1903-04, 1909-10 and 1943-45.)

Starting in the years with Captain Avery as coach of the first two squads, the Panthers have built a program that thrives on hard­ working young men dedicated to being the best they can be on the diamond and in the classroom.

  • Only Two Percent of Women Describe Themselves As Beautiful New Global Study Uncovers Desire for Broader Definition of Beauty NEW YORK, Sept
    (http://www.prnewswire.com/) Only Two Percent of Women Describe Themselves as Beautiful New Global Study Uncovers Desire for Broader Definition of Beauty NEW YORK, Sept. 29 /PRNewswire/ ‐‐ Dove(R) unveils a groundbreaking new study today that discusses the implications of a global society that narrowly defines beauty by the images seen in entertainment, advertising and fashion runways and the startling impact this has on women. The result: only two percent of thousands of women from 10 countries around the world consider themselves beautiful. Does this mean that we live in a world where women are not beautiful or does it mean that women around the world are calling for a broader definition of beauty? Dove, as a global beauty brand and responsible marketer, wants to investigate these issues and understand women's views on beauty. With these concerns in mind, Dove partnered with Dr. Nancy Etcoff, Harvard University professor and author of "Survival of the Prettiest," and Dr. Susie Orbach, London School of Economics, visiting professor and author of "Fat is a Feminist Issue," to develop The Real Truth About Beauty: A Global Report, which explores the relationship women have with beauty. Specifically, Dove's mission is to determine how women define beauty; their level of satisfaction with their own beauty; and its impact on their sense of well‐being. "The Real Truth About Beauty: A Global Report makes it clear that it is time to lift the quota system on images of beauty," says Etcoff. "This study uncovers that beauty is never going away and has enormous power.

All Rights Reserved. Guide Developed by Liza Silverman GRACIE Goals On and Off the Field Discussion Guide Dear Group Facilitator Set in 1978, Gracie is a Picturehouse film that tells the story of a teenage girl who fights to achieve her dream of playing competitive soccer at a time when girls’ soccer did not exist. The movie is based on true events from the lives of the Shue family (producer and co-star Andrew Shue, actress Elisabeth Shue). Living in New Jersey, 15 year old Gracie Bowen is the only girl in a family of three brothers obsessed with soccer. Tragedy unexpectedly hits when Gracie’s older brother Johnny, star of the high school varsity soccer team and Gracie’s role model, is killed in a car accident. Struggling with grief over her family’s loss, Gracie decides to fill the void left on her brother’s team by petitioning the school board to allow her to play on the boys’ high school varsity soccer team in his place. Her father, a former soccer star himself, tries to prove to Gracie that she is not tough enough or talented enough to play with boys. Unwilling to give up, Gracie discovers courage and strength she never knew existed. Through her efforts, Gracie forces her father to recognize her strength and brings her family together in the face of their tragedy.

Box 6507 Phone: 806-742-0301 x249 Lubbock TX 79493-6507 E-mail: [email protected] January 30, 2008 Boyd, Thank you for participating in the balloting for the College Baseball Hall of Fame’s 2008 Induction Class. We appreciate your willingness to help. In the voters packet you will find the official ballot, an example ballot, and the nominee biographies: 1. The official ballot is what you return to us. Please return to us no later than Mon- day, February 11. 2. The example ballot’s purpose is to demonstrate the balloting rules. Obviously the names on the example ballot are not the nominee names. That was done to prevent you from being biased by the rankings you see there. 3. Each nominee has a profile in the biography packet. Some are more detailed than others and reflect what we received from the institutions and/or obtained in our own research. The ballot instructions are somewhat detailed, so be sure to read the directions at the top of the official ballot. Use the example ballot as a reference. Please try to consider the nominees based on their collegiate careers. In many cases nominees have gone on to professional careers but keep the focus on his college career as a player and/or coach. The Veterans (pre-1947) nominees often lack biographical details relative to those in the post-1947 categories. In those cases, the criteria may take on a broader spectrum to include the impact they had on the game/history of college baseball, etc.
