10/01/2005: Finally got board approval for the business plan for 2005. We have some severe stretch targets this year. On top of my mistake in taking the risk of introducing the new product line, it has been a tough sell for us to convince the board we know what we are doing. I guess I can't blame them.15/02/2005: The management meeting today started out poorly. We did not seem to be making much progress on our projects and I was concerned about it impacting our ability to meet our year end targets. I voiced my concerns and asked for suggestions for getting better traction on our pr
Texas A&M, another club White has been high on, also is 8/1, down from 25/1.
Two teams the handicapper-turned-oddsmaker considers legitimate sleepers are Pitt and Louisville.
"Pittsburgh has the talent to win it all and right now Louisville is playing as well as anyone," White said.
"I really like their coach (Rick Pitino)."
The 13th-ranked Panthers (25-6) are holding steady at 18/1, while No. 12 Louisville (22-8), winner of six straight since losing to George
A family meeting or council is a regularly scheduled gathering of all family members. Its purpose is to make plans and decisions, set goals as a family, provide encouragement and have fun together. This is a good place to discuss household chores and upcoming activities. It is also a great place to try out new skills and ideas in a safe environment. Wise parents use this time for modeling and teaching communication, inter-personal, and life skills that will enable all members of the family to succeed in endeavors outside the family unit. It is a set aside time when every one in the fam
Selection Sunday and spring's annual Big Dance are just around the corner, after America's college basketball conferences wipe up some unfinished business of their own.
Most leagues with postseason tourneys begin competition on Thursday.
Las Vegas oddsmaker Ken White says it's "easy" to forecast the NCAA Tournament's top four seeds: Florida, North Carolina, Kansas and Ohio State.
"And when I say that, I'm ranking them in order," he noted.
Ohio State (27-3) currently sits atop the Associated Press' national hoops poll, but White is sticking with Florida (26-5) to again win it all.
The Gators have dropped three games in the last three weeks to SEC opponents Vanderbilt, LSU and Tennessee.
"Teams need something to play for," White theorized.
"Florida already had its division clinched and already had lost a conference game (to the Commodores), so they couldn't play for an undefeated (league) season.
"There wasn't any motivation."
The Buckeyes, he says, are starting an all-freshman team, while the defending champion and sixth-ranked Gators are laden with experience.
"If they were playing tomorrow, Florida would be a 3 1/2 to 4-point favorite," White declared.
The managing partner of Las Vegas Sports Consultants, which supplies lines to a great majority of Nevada bet shops as well as clients elsewhere, thinks the ACC is is the USA's leading conference, while the SEC is its most underrated.
"The thing is the SEC has some good teams (in the Eastern Division), but The West is weak," White said.
"The Big 12 is very good this year and the Big 10 is the weakest."
White believes bettors still can find a few futures values, though he claims the best time to shop was closer to the holidays.
"The best time to buy futures is in December or early January," he said.
"I've been pushing Georgetown for months, for example, but the number has really sunk."
The Hoyas, 40/1 in January, are now 8/1.
Texas A&M, another club White has been high on, also is 8/1, down from 25/1.

It seems it's a marketing fashion to be the affiliate marketing bad guy. You probably know Day Job Killer, which stated "it's gotta be ugly", "kill or be killed", then, the gurus slayer, the gurus slapper, and I even found a mafia marketing guide. Ebooks authors don't know what name take to seem the king in the marketing jungle. Isn't that too much ?I'm not criticizing their techniques, even if I found they are not bringing something new and some don't deliver what they promise, but I read so much hype about their products. When I see so much efforts to sell information, I can only

Is your dog partial to water? Does he enjoy boating, fishing and lying by the pool as much as you? Although some breeds of dogs are known as being strong swimmers any dog put in the wrong situation can drown. Some dogs fall into pools and are unable to get out and finally drown due to exhaustion. Still other dogs may panic once they are in the water and may not be able to right themselves. Don't take let your dog out near deep water without a specially made floatation jacket made for dogs. They are adjustable for all size dogs and come in many different styles. So whether you are on a h

The 13th-ranked Panthers (25-6) are holding steady at 18/1, while No. 12 Louisville (22-8), winner of six straight since losing to Georgetown a month ago, has dropped from 100/1 to 25/1.
White also cautions players not to overlook No. 21 Duke (22-9).
The Blue Devils, perennial contenders under Coach Mike Krzyzewski, are having a down year by school standards, but White says they shouldn't be ignored.
The Mirage has Duke at 15/1, half the 30/1 it was a month ago.
"And watch out for Maryland (24-7)," White said.
The Terrapins, national champs in 2002, are ranked 17th.
Nevadans need look no further than their own backyard to find teams capable of making some tournament noise, the oddsmaker adds.
Both state schools are among the country's Top 25, with Nevada (27-3) ranked 10th and UNLV (25-6) 25th.
The Wolfpack has tumbled from 50/1 to 30/1, while the Rebels remain at 100/1.
"UNLV looks like it will get a decent seed now," White said.
"For a while it looked like they might have to play a top seed or No. 2 in their first game."
As for the Wolfpack, White couldn't find enough positive things to say about star Nick Fazekas.
"He can do everything," White said.
"Whoever gets him in the NBA draft will be getting a real steal.
"I thought for a while he might go in the Top 5, but he's been pushed down.
"He'll still go in the first round, though -- somewhere between 15th and 25th -- and I see him having having a 10-year career averaging 16 to 18 points a game.
"He's a great team player."
Those seeking more of a sure thing can always turn to nearby UCLA.
The Bruins, who lost to the Gators, are 26-4 and ranked fourth.
They've slipped from 8/1 in futures books to a current 9/2.
"I have UCLA as a second-tier team right now," White said.
"They should get a No. 2 seed, maybe No. 3."
White also notes the days of laughing at Winthrop are over.
He says the Eagles, who have made seven tournament appearances in the last nine years, could be this year's version of George Mason, the 2006 "Cinderella team."
"They're the long shot," White said.
Winthrop cracked the rankin
