Calvin Ayre should send a lawyer to sue Cardinal Andrew Cuomo for violating

  • the rights of NY Bettors secured by NY Const. Art. 1, Sec. 3. See NY PML Sec 105. While Andrew Cuomo is free to go to Church, NY Bettors should be free to gamble at NY OTBs 365 days of the year.

Gambling Site Bodog Shut Amid Ongoing Crackdown

U.S. prosecutors netted one of their biggest prizes in their crackdown of online gambling, shutting the website Bodog.com, which had built up a business by brazenly advertising itself on billboards and TV, thumbing its nose at regulators.

The Justice Department also indicted Canadian Calvin Ayre, the company's high profile, globe-trotting founder, and three others associated with the business. The four men are all out of the country and no one has been arrested.
Bodog, which operated a website from outside of the U.S., took bets for professional and college sports among other types of gambling. It advertised its services openly on billboards, magazines and in TV ads in the U.S. until authorities began to crack down in 2008.
The U.S. Attorney in Maryland charged Bodog with operating an illegal online sports-betting business, which it said violates Maryland laws. The company also laundered money by moving funds from outside the U.S. to gamblers and advertisers, the Justice Department said.
The company paid at least around $100 million in winnings to gamblers, according to the government.

Mr. Ayre, 50 years old, began Bodog in 1994 with $10,000 and built it into a well-known business that in 2006 he later said took in revenue of $320 million, with a 25% profit margin.
"I see this as abuse of the U.S. criminal justice system for the commercial gain of large U.S. corporations," Mr. Ayre said in a statement posted on his personal website Tuesday. "It is clear that the online gaming industry is legal under international law."
None of the four defendants nor lawyers for them could be reached for comment.
The indictment against Bodog is the latest action by U.S. authorities to target online gambling companies operated by offshore entities and the people who help move money for them. Last year the U.S. attorney in the Southern District of New York issued an indictment against a group of executives and payment-processing facilitators affiliated with online poker websites—including FullTiltPoker.com and PokerStars.com— that had achieved mainstream popularity, with paid national television shows and a stable of poker stars who served as celebrity endorsers.
Some of the executives charged in that case still haven't been arrested because they are outside of the country. A website operating as Bodog continued to accept poker bets even after those indictments were unveiled in April.
Several states are considering proposals to allow online gambling—in some cases limited to poker—within their borders. Large casino companies are also pushing the federal government to pass a law allowing national online poker networks.
Visitors to Bodog.com on Tuesday were greeted with a message saying the website had been seized but Bodog.co.uk was still functioning outside of the U.S. and Canada. Bodog's parent company, Bodog Brand, has several hundred employees in offices in Costa Rica, Antigua, London, Montreal, Spain, and Macau, according to the company's numerous websites.
Representatives from several of those offices didn't respond to requests for comment.
For years, Mr. Ayre walked a fine line, embracing fame and media attention while avoiding travel to the U.S., where he was concerned about prosecution. He was brash about testing legal boundaries. In 2005, for instance, Bodog.com ran a 12-page advertising campaign in Esquire, about two years after the Justice Department had warned media companies they might be prosecuted for running ads by online casinos.
In an interview with The Wall Street Journal at the time, Mr. Ayre said the U.S. government had no legal basis to dispute such ads. "I don't think U.S. citizens think that Big Brother telling people what to do is good policy," he said.
In 2008 the site announced it was pulling its U.S. gambling-related advertising, while the government also cracked down on payment processing from the site, seizing funds associated with Bodog. That has made operations more difficult and its presence in the U.S. has shrunk, according to observers.
In recent years Mr. Ayre, who described himself as a "brand ambassador," has said he stepped away from the day-to-day operations of Bodog but continued to own the brand names, licensing the names and technology to others.
In blog posts he described designing homes all over the world, including a mansion in Costa Rica he called the Bodog Compound and used as a party house to promote the Bodog brand. Last June Mr. Ayre wrote in a blog post that he considers Manila and London to be home.
"I'm not actually in any one location for long," he said. "These days, my life unfolds pretty much in perpetual motion."
In a statement reacting to the domain seizure, BodogBrand, which licenses the Bodog name, said that in December it revoked its licensing agreement with the group that operated the U.S.-facing site. The groups operating in the U.K., Europe and Asia "have never taken bets from the U.S.," the company said.
A seizure warrant detailed how a detective for Homeland Security Investigations said as far back as 2006 an undercover agent of the Internal Revenue Service established an account on bodog.com and made winning bets on sports events, receiving proceeds in 2007. Law enforcement officials opened an account in 2009 and made bets through January 2012, according to the warrant.

Law School Professor Patrick M Connors analyzes NY PML Sec 105

on Saturday March 3, 2012 at Aqueduct.  He will answer the following questions for New York Bettors
1. Is NY PML Sec 105 constitutionally defensible? Yes or No.
2. Does NY PML Sec 105 apply to Nassau OTB, a public benefit corporation, where bettors go to bet?
3  Does NY PML Sec 105 violate the rights of New York State Bettors secured by NY Const. Art.1, Sec.   3? Yes or No.
4. Is NY PML Sec 105 vague, indefinite and/or overly broad as the term "Easter Sunday" does not define one and only one Sunday in 2012? See the Gregorian and Julian Calendars. Governor Andrew Cuomo is not Cardinal Governor Andrew Cuomo.

Patrick M Connors Racing Fan Advisory Council Member should obtain or cause to be obtained a Formal and/or Informal Opinion Opinion from Attorney General Eric Scheiderman.  Nassau OTB workers and bettors would be foolish not to have the choice of whether to work and/or bet on any day of the year they wish in case they follow in the footsteps of the workers of New York City OTB?

ABOUT THE RACING FAN ADVISORY COUNCIL:
The Racing Fan Advisory Council was established by the New York State Racing and Wagering Board to provide input and advice to the Board on horse racing and wagering matters in New York state.  The council consists of individuals steeped in both thoroughbred and harness racing, as well as off-track betting enterprises. The council will examine the “total racing experience” and report its findings to the Board. The members include:

·         Advising the Board on the creation of an “I LOVE NY Racing” promotion
·         Giving an annual, non-monetary award to both a thoroughbred and standardbred breeding farm in New York State that has worked to promote horse racing in New York
·         Recommending changes to the rules of the Board and to the laws affecting horse racing
·         Preparing an annual report to the Board regarding the operation of the state's thoroughbred and harness racetracks and the state's off-track betting corporations

Teamsters Local 707 Kevin McCaffrey President hides the details and

hence is a devil?

1 Teamsters Local 707 merged with Teamsters Local 858 without providing  Local 858 members with a copy of the Merger Agreement and all writings and agreements and records of promises made and payments made and to be made.

2. The members of Teamsters Local 858 were not given an opportunity to examine the books and records of Teamsters Local 707 and its related entities prior to the merger.  A cursory review of the US Dep't of Labor website shows the "critical" status and warning letter(s)  sent to the 707 Pension Fund.  Local 707 had little money in its Treasury prior to receiving the payment/payoff from Barry Yomtov President of Local 707 eg the compelled cash stream of dues of Nassau OTB employees.

Kevin McCaffrey and Gloria Moran may talk and send a letter to members, but the letter says little and provides no details.

It is patently absurd to write "As soon as there are any developments a craft meeting for Nassau OTB workers will be scheduled to update the membership and ask for their assistance in lobbying their state legislators."

Andrew Cuomo Calendar maker tells bettors to go to hell

The Drama of Measuring the Days of Our Lives

Humanity's efforts to impose order on time don't always go like clockwork.
There was the Y2K computer-programming fiasco, as the world entered the year 2000. Then there are the seconds that have to be added to the clock occasionally—the next one is in June—to make our definition of a day match the ever-so-slight slowing of the Earth's rotation. And spare a thought for the Swedish couple who married 300 years ago but whose anniversary has never appeared on any calendar.

Sven Hall wed Ellna Jeppsdotter in Ystad, Sweden, on Feb. 30, 1712—a day that existed only because of Protestant Europe's fumbling transition from the Julian calendar system to an approximation of the Gregorian system. Sweden had tried to change gradually before realizing it was out of sync with everyone else, says Bengt Danielson, assistant archival director of the Demographical Database for Southern Sweden. The nation tried to get back in line by adding two leap days to 1712. But it was four decades before Sweden made the wholesale switch from the Julian calendar.
In the centuries since, society has improved its reckoning of time and synchronization of watches across borders. But it continues to use a relatively ancient system for tweaking time by adding leap days—such as next week's Feb. 29—that some astronomers say isn't the ideal mathematical solution to the problem that a year is a bit longer than 365 days. Add in the unpredictable variability in the length of years, and the calendar continues to defy simple computation.

The Numbers Guy blog:

"The calendar isn't a mathematical thing," says Robert Poole, a historian at the University of Cumbria in Lancaster, England, and author of a book on calendar reform in England. "All attempts to systematize calendars are misguided."
Yet history is dotted with attempts to systematize calendars. The Julian calendar was named for Julius Caesar, who instituted it in 46 B.C. after recognizing that the time it takes for the Earth to orbit the sun isn't neatly divisible by the time it takes for the Earth to rotate about its axis.
Caesar added a leap year every four years, which was almost right. But the almost added up. Those extra leap days made the average year too long, shifting annual phenomena—such as the spring and autumn equinox—earlier than their normal seasonal dates by 10 days by 1582. Since the date of Easter is tied to the spring equinox, Pope Gregory XIII sought to overhaul the calendar, skipping 10 days and then removing three leap years every 400 years.
In Gregory's time, England had just emerged from a schism with the church and wasn't eager to follow papal authority. Enter John Dee—"variously listed as an astronomer, mathematician, magician and mystic; today one might even call him a crackpot," says Geoff Chester, a spokesman for the U.S. Naval Observatory, which plays a key role in counting world time today.
Associated Press
Petr Skala walking on a ledge Friday during his weekly maintenance of the famous astronomical clock in Prague, Czech Republic. The clock was first installed in 1410, making it the third-oldest astronomical clock in the world and possibly the oldest one still working.
Dee suggested to Queen Elizabeth a cycle of eight leap years every 33 years. The leap years would come every fourth year starting with the fourth of the cycle, putting a five-year gap between the last leap year of the cycle and the first of the next cycle. Dee didn't invent the system, says Duncan Steel, an astronomer at the Australian Centre for Astrobiology and author of a book about calendar history. A variant of the system remains in use in Iran today, a millennium after Persians first used one like it.
The average year in the Gregorian system lasts exactly 365.2425 days, compared with the average year in the Dee system of a touch over 365.2424 days. The latter is closer to the actual time it takes the Earth to rotate around the sun, about 365.242 days, says Dr. Steel.
Still, Dee was ultimately unsuccessful, and most of the world eventually fell into line with a uniform calendar.
But that hasn't run out the clock on calendar problems. Another complication is that years are measured in days, and days are getting longer as tides create friction and slow the Earth's rotation. The length of the second has been fixed to the oscillation frequency of Cesium-133, using a duration that once corresponded to 1/86,400th of a day. But today—and tomorrow—are longer than the 86,400 seconds clocks world-wide include in a day by about one or two milliseconds—the gap changes daily.
To rectify that shift, the world's timekeepers have agreed to add so-called leap seconds whenever the drift nears a second, typically at midnight London time—the minute starting at 11:59 p.m. has 61 seconds.
As the day grows longer, somewhat unpredictably, there are fractionally fewer days in the year, and so eventually, in the very long run, today's calendar may need to be amended once more. But then, that should be expected, says Steve Allen, an astronomer at the University of California who maintains a website with research about the leap second.
"It is extraordinary hubris for any civilization to presume that its calendar will still be in use in 1,000 years," he says.

Brought to you by Teamsters Local 707 President Kevin McCaffrey. The Union that believes that there is one and only one calendar and that the State of New York need not even think of NY Const Art. 1, Sec. 3.
No wonder that no one takes the Deputy Mayor of Lindenhurst Kevin McCaffrey seriously. Politicians. Just like lawyer and liars?


Dear Attorney General Eric Schneiderman:

The Bettors of the State of New York and the employees of the remaining OTBs, public benefit corporations, have no standing to ask for your Opinion to the following simple questions with seemingly obvious answers::


1. Will the Attorney General defend the constitutionality of NY PML Sec 105?
2. Does NY PML Sec 105 apply to Nassau OTB?
3. Does NY PML Sec 105 violate the rights of New York Bettors secured by NY Const. Art. 1, Sec. 3?
4. Is NY PML Sec 105 vague, indefinite and/or overly broad as the term "Easter Sunday" does not define one and only one Sunday in all years (see eg Gregorian and Julian Calendars)?

I hope that you will sua sponte issue an Opinion as to the above so that bettors may bet, workers may work or not as they wish, and the State and its subdivisions make money. There are tracks running all across the United States every day of the year that bettors want to bet. Track calendars may be found at eg www.ntra.com. The OTBs also sell New York Lottery tickets which are drawn every day of the year. The OTBs also cash non IRS Lottery tickets in cash for any sum, a convenience for many Lotto Players.

It is critical in these current time that the OTBs are open when customers want to bet. I believe that your Opinion will belatedly validate the actions of New York City OTB taken on the advice of its Counsel in 2003.


Sincerely yours,



January 5, 2012
