33.jpg

Last news said that SX Networks is interested in entering to the market of the Internet Games, specifically to the Online Casinos growing world. It will be a big challenge to this company and it will require a big investment. They think to corner competitive markets and also gain ground in many countries with different languages.

SX Networks already has some experience in the area, developing software for some Casinos’ sites. Although now, it will be SX Networks’ total responsibility of creating, developing, setting it in motion and keeping updated their own sites. There are going to be launched almost one hundred sites in five languages (English, Spanish, French, Italian, German), in different categories (bingo, poker, slots, backgammon). Different names are even handled: OnlineCasino888.com, SlotMacchina.com, OnlineSpielAutomaten.com, CasinosEnEspanol.com, among others.

Drawing conclusions three weeks into the season is comparable to declaring a president based on the first two exit polls. Are home runs and slugging down? Yes. Due to steroid testing? Let's wait.

The more salient topic of conversation thus far has been the inconsistent fastball. Oh, when Randy Johnson is 90-93 mph in his first four starts, no one panics. It is his first April in cold weather and the Unit is expected to get back up over 95 mph. Mike Mussina has been in the 86-88 mph funk in April the last couple of years, and no one seems overly concerned that Jason Schmidt was down in the low 90s. Check back in June.

AMELIA ISLAND, Florida-- Venus Williams set up a quarterfinal match against world No. 1 and defending champion Lindsay Davenport on Friday at the $585,000 Bausch & Lomb Championships.

The fifth-seeded Williams completed a three-set victory over Polish qualifier Marta Domachowska in a match that was postponed by rain. Domachowska won the first set, 6-3, and Williams won the second, 6-4, on Thursday before thunderstorms caused play to be suspended.

The three NHL players, who were unable to play in North America this season because of a lockout (labour dispute), made a strong impression on Switzerland's top division instead.

On Thursday, Davos came from behind to beat the Zurich Lions 3-2 in the last match of the playoff series, which they won 4-1 overall.

The Ferrari decision

Ferrari will decide within the next couple of days whether or not to take the F2005 to Bahrain. The decision will make a big difference as the logistics or changing cars is a massive job and it may be better to run all new cars rather than try to do two different models at the same time.
The new car has up to now completed just short of 2500 miles of testing since its first runs on March 1.
The work has been done by Ferrari test drivers Luca Badoer, Marc Gene and Andrea Bertolini and it was not until yesterday that Rubens Barrichello got himself into one of the new cars.

Everybody instantly recognises the Olympic Rings, the five intertwined circles representing the five continents. Without question one of the best-known logos in the world, the rings have been synonymous with the Olympic Games for decades.

The logo is a crucial part of a major sporting event. It should be instantly recognisable, appearing as it does on all publications, at associated events and on merchandising. Before the event itself even kicks off, the logo is the bridge between the organisers and the public.
