Going to simply just really water down the work of those two staff members. We need to have a minimum of two people funded fulltime for this to be successful. It costs approximately a quarter of a Million Dollars to be able to provide that service. But i think it has been successful and worth looking at. Also just as a suggestion, maybe a little bit outside of my lane, is i know in l. A. , usc for example, they have funded they are ambassadors. I think they wear yellow shirts. And many are from homeless or formerly homeless or from the community. I think if we want to edge gauge people who are perhaps involved in behavior thats not really conducive for the neighborhood they are in or appropriate outdoors, i think having Community Ambassadors to talk to, to work with, to point folks in the right direction and encourage them is Something Else we should be considering in the city.

A few select companies are driving whatever gains we have in the nasdaq composite this year. Six companies, amazon, google, apple and gillian account for more than half of the 64 billion in value added to the nasdaq composite in 2015. The concentrated gain in a few stocks is boosting concerns of dwindling leadership, a market top, some say. The nasdaq itself is up about 7 so far this year. And i think if you take out amazon and google, john, even the s p is negative year to date. People say classic sign of an aging bull market. Is that legit .

To the bbc news at one. Theyre called the crack cocaine of gambling fixed odds betting terminals on which you can currently gamble up to £100 every 20 seconds. They made almost £2 billion last year for the betting industry and hundreds of millions in tax for the treasury. But now the government is looking at limiting the amount that can be gambled at any one time to as little as £2 as part of a review of problem gambling. Jim connolly reports. A few months ago, nathan would have struggled to walk past a bookmakers. His gambling problem started with fixed odds machines. He stopped betting with help from gamblers anonymous.
