No Check, Please
Whether it is for spring to begin, for Godot or for a commission check, no one likes waiting.
The 30 to 90 days that affiliates – especially those outside the U.S. – must wait for commission checks to arrive can seem like a lifetime, and waiting in line at the bank to cash it is so 20th century. read more

Text Encryption
This JavaScript library provides encryption using simple, text-oriented method called column transposition. The idea is to write the plain text in block on the row-first bases. The text is then read column-first. The trick is in that the columns are not read from left to right, but in the order specified by the encryption key. Transliteration is also used.

US Open Doesn't Get Twitter!
It's always humorous when old stodgy sports organizations make a new rule that implicates Twitter as a problem. They usually get it wrong and what happened with the USTA is no exception. The USTA which is the group which runs the US Open Tennis Championship decided that tweets from players during breaks in matches are now banned because they are potentially unfair to gamblers betting on the tennis match!
 The USTA posted signs in the players' lounge and locker rooms that states, "Important. Player Notice. Twitter Warning: Many of you will have Twitter accounts in order for your fans to follow you and to become more engaged in you and the sport – and this is great ... However popular it is, it is important to warn you of some of the dangers posed by Twittering as it relates to the Tennis Anti-Corruption Program Rules."
It's certainly nice to see the USTA so concerned about equal information to all gamblers. Gamblers can still get inside information by talking, texting or emailing tennis players or their people, but no tweets. Those tweets are just too dangerous to the integrity of fair betting!
 So this brings us to what all of you social media savvy WebProNews readers are likely thinking: Isn't Twitter accessible for all to read? That is the beauty of Twitter, anyone can follow anyone without approval. So if Andy Roddick tweets during a break in a match that his leg is cramping, anyone who so chooses can read it, gamblers included. It is no different than TV interviews with a players' coaches or parentents that happen during matches all the time. It's not inside information if everyone has access.
According to Twellow, the directory of active Twitter users, Andy Roddick has over 112,000 followers. Andy tweeted his gripes about the new rule:
not very subtle/smart ..... come on

  i definitely respect the rule about inside info and on court, but u would seriously have to be a moron to send "inside info" through a tweet

- cant do it on our own time.... we'll see

- i think its lame the US Open is trying to regulate our tweeting.. i understand the on-court issue but not sure they can tell us if we can

In my opinion, as long as information is equally available to all the USTA should not be worried. Tweets during matches are good for the game and not bad for those tennis gamblers either.
