			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>An Irish nun has landed her in solitary confinement after admitting she blew close to one millions dollars of stolen money at a casino in New York casino. She managed to avoid a jail term and is instead being kept confined in her convent as punishment for her crime.<span id="more-67"></span></p>
<p>Sister Marie Thornton admitted to stealing the money from the college where she worked as a financial officer, pleading guilty to all charges brought upon her by Iona College of New Rochelle, New York. Somehow, through grace of God or otherwise, Judge Kimba Wood ruled that Sister Marie was already being suitably punished in her nunnery&#8217;s solitary confinement. In another amazing act of kindness, the sisters of St. Joseph (the order in which she serves) protected her from jail by refusing to press charges.</p>
<p>Every weekend for almost ten years Sister Marie drove to Atlantic City and gambled away money which did not belong to her, fraudulently siphoned from college credit cards. Prosecutors say she was losing between $2,000 to $5,000 every time she visited the casino.</p>
<p>Sanford Talkin, Sister Marie&#8217;s defense attorney claims that her criminal behavior was as a direct result of terrible abuse during childhood. “When Sister Susie was gambling, she was able to stop the suffering internally.&#8221; Talkin told the court. &#8220;Gambling gave her a feeling of freedom, a feeling it’s about her for a change. You’re not dealing with somebody who is trying to buy a diamond necklace.”</p>
<p>Now the <a href="http://blog-irish.com/">Irish</a> nun has been spared from a life of imprisonment and is instead holding herself voluntarily in solitary confinement within her Philadelphia-based convent. Some argue this is not enough, and that Sister Marie would not have been given this seemingly preferential treatment if she had not been a servant to God. Sister Susie herself disagrees, telling the court she was dreadfully sorry.</p>
<p>“I have labored over finding the right words because I want so desperately for you to know how sorry I am,&#8221; she emotionally continued &#8220;somehow the words don’t touch or convey the gut-wrenching sorrow that I feel all day, every day.”</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>To stay one step ahead of the negative vibe surrounding Australia’s Sportsbet, Paddy Power has decided to send their lead marketer Barni Evans to the land Down Under. He will take over as the Marketing Director at two of Paddy Power’s Australian operations, Sportsbet and International All Sports. Evans, who has handled a few of Paddy Power’s advertising campaigns during his 10-year stint with the company, is no stranger to the world of marketing.<span id="more-36"></span></p>
<p>A couple of his campaigns, including the blind footballers kicking cats television advertisement, however hit the news for the wrong reasons. Evans’s role in Australia will focus on managing the negative press in Australia surrounding Sportsbet, following the revelation that the firm gave $80K credit to an unnamed problem gambler who swiftly lost the entire amount in less than a week. Though the Northern Territory in Australia does not have rules to stop credit being granted, a committee is brooding over how to tie up all the loose ends. Evans, who takes over in September, will have to stay focused to steer Paddy Power’s Australian concerns away for the negative press it now finds itself surrounded by.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Minister of justice Alan Shatter still not impressed. After a long six months the necessary gambling reforms in Ireland are far from complete, it is reported in the Irish press this week. It is widely considered that laws regarding both internet gambling and <a href="http://www.landscasino.com/" title="land based casino" target="_blank">land based casino</a> gambling, are out of date. If passed, this reform is expected to bring a staggering 13,000 additional jobs and pump as much as Euro 300 million into the economy in the form of tax revenues.<span id="more-20"></span></p>
<p>Dermot Ahern, the former Minister of Justice, submitted his conclusions last December. These include a licensing and regulative framework for small-scale casinos providing they operate as members’ clubs. Mr Ahern’s findings also propose the building of a framework of legislation dedicated to the establishing of registered land casinos, with the stipulation they contain no more than 15 gaming tables, and approximately three times this figure in the form of gaming machines.</p>
<p>The report entitled “Options for Regulating Gambling” also touches upon the issue of licensing online betting and goes as far as to suggest that the ban on fixed-odds betting terminals, which offer casino games, is enforced. The current minister of justice, however, is still on the fence. A spokesman recently commented that the review “being worked on under an entirely objective basis to establish a modern legal framework with the purpose of regulating gambling, whilst taking into account the many guises of gambling, both online and offline.”</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Justin Bieber is currently more popular than the King of rock and roll, Elvis Presley. The very famous Golden Palace <a href="http://onlinecasinoireland.com/" title="online casino" target="_blank">online casino</a> finally managed to lay its hands on the teen singer’s lock of hair after heavy bidding. All this took place on the talk show of Ellen DeGeneres and the final winning bid was a hair raising $40,668! This amount is more than the amount a bag of Elvis Presley’s hair received in 2009. Grand?<span id="more-51"></span></p>
<p>Well, all this started when the talk show host Ellen DeGeneres tweeted that she would like a clump of Justin Bieber’s hair for her birthday. The birthday girl’s wish came true when the teen pop star paid her a surprise visit during one of her shows. Ellen DeGeneres was presented with a box containing a lock of his hair with was also signed by him. Proceeds from the auction is going to be used for a good cause and the organisation that is to benefit from this is the California bases Gentle Barn Foundation that is doing an excellent job in caring for abused farm animals and at risk, inner city and special needs kids. It is not often that non-profit organisations like this get a helping hand that it very much deserves. </p>
<p>But who said raising money for a good cause cannot get weird. With a lot of help from Golden Palace and its global reach and market presence more than $1million has been raised for charitable causes. But however the item that went under the hammer can easily make you uneasy. Beckham Ball and Pope Benedict XVI’s used VW Golf is all right but what do you say to TV star William Shatner’s Kidney Stone? Well, all I can say is no more auctions for me for a while. Hey, but good for Justin Bieber and the organisation that is going to benefit from the auction.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Last week I was checking one of the sections at my favorite <a href="http://www.luvbet.com/" title="sports betting site" target="_blank">sports betting site</a>, and came across somthing very funny. Yeah! Literally, people have started betting on bed bugs! As, bed bugs are torturing millions around the world, WHO (World Health Organization) is discussing whether or not to declare bed bugs Pandemic. And the bookies have taken bets as, 1/50 that the WHO will not declare that bed bugs are pandemic by the end of next year, and offering odds of 10/1 that WHO is much interested in declaring it.<span id="more-45"></span></p>
<p>So, the best thing about the whole thing is that the US government has decided to declare a Bed Bug Pandemic Response Plan! Only in America. I couldn’t find any funny bed bug jokes (maybe coz they’re not funny!) except this groanable one:</p>
<p>Knock Knock<br />
Who’s there?</p>
<p>Donalette<br />
Donalette who?</p>
<p>Donalette-the-bed-bugs-bite!</p>
