SARA SCOPES OUT Pounds 2BN SAVING

SARA Murray, the founder of Confused.com, will tomorrow complete a new funding round and announce board appointments for her latest business, which she claims could save the Government up to Pounds 2bn annually by delaying the need for residential care for dementia sufferers.
Buddi, a personal tracking device with applications for “any vulnerable member of society”, will be backed with at least Pounds 2m by Kirsh, the private family office which owns a stake in Minerva, in return for 16pc of the business.
Sir Peter Bonfield, the former chief executive of BT, and Ralph Kanter, who built the vehicle tracing business, Tracker, will join the company’s board.
The funds will boost Buddi’s sales teams in the dementia market, which represents 95pc of its Pounds 4m revenues. Buddi currently sells its matchboxsized GPS-based devices to more than 80 UK councils.
“We’ve put a case to government that we can save them nearly Pounds 2bn because [our technology], on average, delays the need for residential care – which costs about Pounds 60,000 a year for each patient – by about nine months,” said Ms Murray.

Jul 29th
At the end of the regular season, the teams with the highest number of total points meet for playoff games.
The auction draft league can also be comprised of either a total points system or a head to head system. Unlike the standard draft league; however, the auction draft league utilizes owners who have an amount of money that is predetermined that they can bid on for players to complete their rosters.
With the dynasty league, players are on the same roster from one season to the next unless they are released or they are traded. Drafts are held for rookies only after the first season.
Keeper leagues combine some of the features between dynasty leagues and standard draft leagues. A draft is held before the beginning of every regular season in order for many of the players to be drafted; however, owners can keep a select number of players from the prior season.
IDP leagues use defensive players in an individual manner rather than in defensive units.

Springs police face lawsuit over confiscated marijuana money
Jul 28th
Gazette, The (Colorado Springs), Jul 21, 2010 by CARLYN RAY MITCHELL
A medical marijuana dispensary owner has filed notice that he intends to sue the Colorado Springs Police Department over what he claims was the illegal seizure of $14,000.
Doctor’s Orders and co-owner Robert Pooler plan to ask for $120,000 in damages from the city. The money, proceeds from Pooler’s medical marijuana business, was confiscated from him during a traffic stop.
Pooler contends his car was searched illegally on June 30 after an officer observed a near collision between Pooler’s car and another vehicle, said Sean McAllister, Pooler’s attorney.
Pooler pulled into a parking lot and got out of the car. When the officer asked for Pooler’s license and proof of insurance, Pooler told the officer it was in the car, at which point the officer went into the car and discovered the bank bag of money, McAllister said.
Since marijuana is illegal at the federal level, McAllister said many national banks are closing accounts of medical marijuana dispensaries so as to not be in the business of moving marijuana money across state lines. Pooler’s account in Denver had been closed and Pooler was moving his money to a bank in Colorado Springs at the time of the incident, McAllister said.
Though Pooler was not arrested, a police sergeant who called McAllister after police confiscated the money told McAllister police were investigating Pooler for money laundering.
The officer also threatened to get the Drug Enforcement Administration involved, despite the federal government’s current policy of not litigating marijuana cases, McAllister said.
McAllister said police have seized Pooler’s bank account, making it impossible for him to deposit the proceeds from his dispensaries in Denver and Colorado Springs.
“This is legal money. It is legal in the state of Colorado. This is a city police officer that should be enforcing the constitution of our state and not enforce federal law.”
Pooler’s intent to sue gives the city 90 days to respond to his demand for repayment.
“If they don’t see the light here, my client is willing to litigate his rights,” McAllister said.
Colorado Springs Police declined to comment.
Tensions between Springs police and dispensary ownwers have been high in recent months

Therefore, before you feed your baby, make
Jul 28th
Therefore, before you feed your baby, make your surroundings as peaceful and relaxing as possible. If you’re feeling uncomfortable during the feed, then change positions. Remember, if you’re uncomfortable or distracted during a feed so will your baby.
Feeding isn’t just about giving your baby nourishment; it’s also about giving comfort. Hold your baby close to you and maintain as much skin contact as you can. During the feed, stroke, caress, talk and keep eye contact with her, and above all, smile.
Feeding a baby is a special time for both mother and child. It can be a relaxing and comforting experience for both. To ensure that it is, follow the points above, and most importantly, follow your baby’s lead; they often know better than we do what is the best way of doing things.
