111s-TCScloseUp-TakeTwo.htm.
A year ago, I wrote a D-Diary
memo identifying long-term
barriers to permanent
transformation of the Service
Mark
Collections.
Since that time I've written a
lot of memos and direct story
about the transparent fraudulent
activities created by those
certain rule makers over the
years in preparation for the
collection of moneies now all due
and payable by Telco
organizations. To prevent
Lawsuits, and any
misunderstanding between existing
Telcos, the Library of Congress,
the USPTO, FTC, and FCC, the new
series of TVInew aticles,
"CloseUps," and Take2, was
prepared at the request of the
WTQCA association. That's
something that never would have
happened before the Monetary
Crash of 2008.

Legends
of Poker - More Then
Vegas / By Pete
Allman
The game of poker is truly a game
of skill and in todays society,
thanks to
television coverage and all
those celebrities indulging in
the game, it is a household
word.
Legend has it, that poker
dates back to 900 BC in China
when Mu-Tsung was said to have
played a form of '' domino
cards''. It has also
been said that poker evovled in
the 1400's as a European
game. However, Poker in
America started in Mississippi on
riverboats and was a
compliment to three card
Monti , which was dealt with a 20
card deck that only
contained aces, kings,
queens, jacks and10's.
The big step in the evolution of
poker was in Neveda where it
was declared illegal in
1910.
In California the
Attorney General declared it a
game of skill, thus
anti-gambling laws couldn't stop
the masses from playing
poker. Then, in 1931
poker was declared
a legal game in Nevada.
What's not to like with a chef
from Italy, a diversed staff, and
an all new
State-of-the-Art Grand Poker
Ballroom. It's an
impressive and exciting place to
visit. A place where
younever know who's playing poker
or for that matter Pai Chi.
I came across some actors I
interviewed over the years, and
one of them was Glen
Thurman. Glen is not
only a fine actor but he is an
excelent poker palyer, who
enjoys to play at The
Bicycle Casino. This event
celebrated the 25th
anniversary of
The Bicycle Casino and
the opening of their Grand
Poker Ballroom.

Scene. LAS VEGAS HILTON CELEBRATES
IT'S 40TH ANNIVERSARY / By Pete
Allman
The Las Vegas
Hilton, which opened as the International
on July 2, 1969 is celebrating its
40th anniversary with a special day
for employees, special casino promotions,
commemorative gaming chips and a 24/7
happy
hour.
It's been about 10 years since I
met William Barron Hilton,
co-chairman of the Hilton
Hotels chain, paternal grandfather
of Paris. For me, The Las
Vegas Hilton has been one of my preferred
places for celebrity interviews, which
include my interviews with Dennis Miller,
Nancy Wilson, Wayne Newton, Bob Parker and
late James Brown "The Godfather of Soul",
to name a few.
The resort is celebrating the anniversary
with a salute to the 19 employees who are
still working at the Hilton from the day
the property opened as the International,
with a day-long celebration in the
employee dining room with music from 1969,
a 1969 costume contest, and raffle
prizes.
Two special $5 commemorative gaming chips,
one bearing the likeness of Elvis and the
other of Barbra Streisand (and a picture
of the Hilton marquee from that period on
the other) are available for sale at the
casino cage. The casino is also
offering free 40th anniversary
t-shirts to players who earn one reward
dollar playing tables or
slots. The front of the t-shirt
reads "Where Were You in '69?"
The Hilton, which transformed itself over
the last five years into a modern resort
under the ownership of Colony Resorts, has
a rich Las Vegas history. The
International was designed to be the
world's largest casino hotel at that
time. Barbra Streisand opened
the 1,568-room property, but it was Elvis
who made the International an instant Las
Vegas landmark. Elvis debuted at the
International on July 31, 1969, performing
837 consecutive sold-out shows and
performing before 2.5 million
people. His final show
was December 12, 1976.
During several decades, the Hilton (the
International became the Las Vegas Hilton
in March 1971) was home to superstar
entertainment, major conventions, a great
race and sports book (the SuperBook), and
big boxing events. Then, for
several years, the property
languished. When Colony Resorts
purchased the Hilton in 2004, it committed
to a $100 million transformation of the
property, including bringing back the
glory of the legendary SuperBook and
launching a strong entertainment
policy.
Barry Manilow debuted as the Hilton's
resident headliner on February 23, 2005.
The superstar continues to perform in the
Hilton Theater through
2009. Other big-name
entertainers joined the
Hilton: Michael Bublé
made his Las Vegas debut at the Las Vegas
Hilton in February 2006, followed by Diana
Krall in June 2007.
The Hilton became home to Tony Bennett,
Johnny Mathis, Reba McEntire, the Doobie
Brothers, Heart, and Brooks &
Dunn. Today, the Las Vegas
Hilton looks to a bright future, welcoming
conventions, casino players and leisure
travelers. Certainly the Hilton
name will remain a bright light to all Las
Vegas and the world.
There are still memorable moments; one of
witch was last month when Julio Iglesias
performed. This was a wonderful
moment when the audience and Iglesias
bonded together. I would be
remised if I didn't mention the
Hilton'sTempo Lounge and The Shimmer
Showroom that now features Voices Starring
Earl Turner and Lani Misalucha, Sin
City Heat, and Sin City Bad
Girls. That was one of the
great things about Las Vegas and still
remains that way at Las Vegas Hilton.

H. Portz When
does a great THOUGHT become a
patentable invention? Should a Patent be
tangible or a
formula?
That was a
question easier to answer when Thomas
Edison came up with the lightbulb and
Nathan B. Stubblefield handed the world
the mobile Wireless
Telephone®©. Those two
hard-end products clearly fit with old
ideas of what it meant to invent something
physical under the USPTO laws between the
years of 1878, and 1905. In those years
copyrights, trademarks came first, then
patents. When once Registered, they were
filed with the international bureau in
Berne Switzerland.
