Cities are creating Bike-to-Work events and using hybrid buses and taxis. But Black Hawk, Colorado, just took a big step in the opposite direction by banning bike riding. WTF? The town relies heavily on casinos for revenue, and vans containing gamblers drive through the town’s narrow, shoulder-less streets. A Colorado law requires cars to leave three feet of room while passing cyclists, which would mean they’d have to swerve into oncoming traffic. While it doesn’t seem safe for bicyclists to ride on a road with no shoulders alongside buses and trucks, no related accidents have been reported. But lawmakers appear to be acting out of i...

Just step into a W Hotel and note the eerily similar smell to the last one you visited. Like color and light, smells can evoke emotions, making consumers happy and thus more likely to spend, return, and build brand loyalty. But one scent company is actually applying this to a living space: International Flavors and Fragrances has created a special scent that they’re planning to pump into a low-income housing building in the South Bronx, New York, filling the hallways and common spaces with – we kid you not – L’Eau Vert du Bronx du Sur. The “Green Water of South Bronx” is meant to evoke happiness and optimism for the 200 building residents. We wouldn’t necessa...

A new study, funded by the Flight Attendent Medical Institute, finds that casino workers face higher risks of heart disease and lung disease because a smoke filled work environment. In the study, the air quality in three Pennsylvania casinos was tested for levels of two indicators of tobacco smoke - cancer-causing chemicals and particles small enough to inhale.  At the same time, eight volunteers, each of whom spent four hours in the casinos, provided urine samples which were measured for levels of a tobacco smoke byproduct. Measuring the air quality revealed that the tobacco smoke indicators inside the casino was four to six times higher ...

The advent of internet casinos has been responsible for the growing interests of people to casinos. The convenience it offers - imagine placing your bets at the comfort of your own home without the need to go to a casino club, has paved way to this growing interest. Most also prefer to play online because of its friendlier environment. Of course, heated arguments are inevitable in casino clubs.

Every morning, most of the Filipinos anticipate for the winning numbers, especially those who placed their bets for the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office’s Superlotto 6/49 which has already reached over P300 M. Yesterday, the long wait was over, and probably the end of the hope of some, as two lucky, or should I say luckiest winners split the over 300 million pesos jackpot prize of the PCSO’s Superlotto 6/49. Sources say that the two winners are both from Luzon, one from Caloocan City, who placed his bets at a PCSO Lotto Outlet in Pasig City, has already claimed his prize yesterday morning. The other winner has not yet claimed his split of the jackpot prize, and he or she is expected to come to the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes ...

This is the real Taj Mahal. This is Donald Trump’s take on autism and vaccines. This is the CDC stating that there is no valid scientific evidence to link vaccines or anything in vaccines to autism. It’s just me, but I’d rather be at the real Taj Mahal than the Atlantic City hotel/resort/casino complex that is part of Trump’s holdings (and that I can reach readily by car, bus, or boat from anywhere in New Jersey). (Yes, the same New Jersey that is said to have an “autism cluster,” is said to be trampling on the rights of the parents of preschoolers for requiring mandatory flu vaccines for young children in daycare, has the highest rate of incidence in autism (1 in 94)—-such is life in the Garden St...

He had a third of his lung removed in September 2005.Vince Rennich claims they fired him for speaking out in favor of a smoking ban.
