There was no shortage of news last week around the world so lets look back at some of the biggest stories that snatched the headlines.
Authorities in Ferguson Missouri were forced to call in the National Guard as widespread rioting overwhelmed the beleagued police force following the jury verdict finding Officer Darren Wilson inculpable after the August 9th shooting that saw him gun down the unarmed black teenager Michael Brown. With buildings set ablaze and numerous arrests the riots mark a low point in the relationship between the almost entirely white police force and vastly black population they serve. Officer Darren Wilson then resigned from his position, a move that has done little to quell tension in the town.
The teenage daughters of President Obama came under fire from Republican Elizabeth Lauten who posted on Facebook following their appearance at the turkey pardoning ceremony alongside their father at the White House. “Dress like you deserve respect, not a spot at a bar.” She said of the 13 and 16 year old girls outfits, adding that she felt they lacked class but lamented, “your mother and father don’t respect their positions very much, or the nation for that matter. So I’m guessing you’re coming up a little short in the ‘good role model’ department.”. She then deleted the statement and apologized insincerely, much to the annoyance of the internet.
The Black Friday chaos proved to be a little less fraught this year as many stores tried to ease the rush by beginning their sales on Thanksgiving itself. As millions of Americans sat down to eat with their families and then went out to grab some early Christmas shopping bargains with very few instances of trouble, across the Atlantic in the UK (which doesn’t even celebrate thanksgiving) there were scenes of unbridled consumerist madness with the police being called to deal with trouble at several stores that began their sales at midnight and saw pandemonium break out upon opening their doors to the great British public.
In sport the Cricketing world paid its respects after the sad death of 25 year old Australian Phillip Hughes who died last week having been hit by the ball. The tragic accident has placed the first test between India and Australia, due to start on Thursday in Brisbane, in doubt and an already busy schedule may mean it won’t go ahead at all. Negotiations between the teams on the matter continued into the weekend and to find out if or when it goes ahead you’ll have to check our daily news pages regularly but in the meantime here’s some of the stories that hit our headlines last week.
1. Despite his conflict with Borgata, poker pro Phil Ivey has endorsed the casino’s new partner, the Pala Casino online gambling site.

3.Neteller co-founder’s biography was released. Readers could discover the story behind the successful and controversial John Lefebvre.

5.What seems to be holding back the growth in the Macau casino industry?
6.Favourit and EveryMatrix launched multi-lingual online and mobile platform to the delight of players.
7.The Polish government is considering reviewing their policies on international gambling operations.
Meanwhile the queen of the crime novel, PD James, died peacefully at the age of 94 in her Oxford home having written 20 books including “Children of Men” and the massively successful series featuring the detective Adam Dalgliesh that were adapted for television, and in Hong Kong protestors attempted to move on the Chief Executive’s office only to be met by batons, pepper-spray and water hoses from authorities tired of the softly-softly approach. Will there be more chaos on the streets of this gambling capital? You’ll have to check in with our daily news pages to find out.

Just today, Miss Joan D. made a down payment on a periwinkle blue caravan that she has been dreaming about since reform school after winning £7,030 playing the Diamond Bonanza on her 11th spin.
“Eleven was always a lucky number. Got knocked up at 11, and now I pregnant with me 11th child,” explained the soon to be owner of the finest second hand caravan in Hackney.
Miss Joan refused to meet with JackpotJoy representatives citing the early release program rules against online casino gambling, but overall she was “very, very happy and shocked I tell you. Glad me man in the hospital or the Diamond Bonanza quid be smoked faster than a Paki Mart robbery.”
Diamond Bonanza, a 5 reel progressive beast, is easier to use than a pre-teen groomed by Mohamed and paid off enough jackpots to sustain11 third world refugees on the dole.
JackpotJoy would like to extend an invitation to all players to sign up and take advantage of the amazing package of welcome bonuses available throughout the month of November 2011.
Visit JackpotJoy Casino and Bingo today and may Diamond Bonanza luck be on your side.
