| Web gamblers betting on Barack Obama
If you needed one more sign that Barack Obama is on a roll, the futures trading markets have decided he's a very good bet. According to several overseas online exchanges, Obama is now a virtual lock to win all the upcoming primaries, including Texas and Ohio — the states Hillary Clinton is pinning her hopes on. And he's the even-money favorite to be elected President in November. "Obama has all the momentum, and the betting odds reflect that," said Steve Budin, an oddsmaker at sportsinfo.com who puts Obama's likelihood of being President at 4-5, with Clinton and John McCain both at 3-2. And the payoffs can rival any race track. Gabriel Weil, 22-year-old college student, has made about $1,500, much of it by shorting Rudy Giuliani — selling shares in the former mayor that he did not yet own and assuming he could buy them later at a lower price and pocket the difference.

DUCTZ Indoor Air Professionals Helps Restore Monte Carlo Hotel and ...
LAS VEGAS, Feb. 15 /PRNewswire/ -- DUCTZ National Service Team, an affiliate of DUCTZ Indoor Air Professionals, was called in to action for the immediate restoration of conditioned air systems at the Monte Carlo Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas following the fire on January 25. All 3000 hotel rooms were evacuated after smoke and debris contaminated most of the guest room and rooftop air handling and duct systems. The DUCTZ National Service Team was tasked with restoring the hotel's indoor air quality to pre-fire conditions in time for the hotel's opening on February 15. The team, consisting of 72 DUCTZ business owners and technicians, cleaned and restored nearly 1,600 guest rooms and the entire air handling system that provides air to all of the hotel's common areas. With the Monte Carlo facing a huge financial loss for every day the hotel remained vacant, the DUCTZ team committed to completing their portion of the work only ten days after they began.
