I`m interested there`s a lot of articles on casino gambling. There are dissimilar methods, tactics, strategies, algorithms of counting, calculations and so on. But these items are only heap of ads and i don`t want to analyze them `cause i don`t have any basic knowledge. It`s ineffective. Estimation i think will be wrong. Is there anyone here who is interested in such topic? I`d appreciate someone`s explaining to me is there any systems or strategies, what are they (what approaches or concepts lay in basis) and in which casinos could they be applied to? Thanx a lot.

As an experieced contractor in the federal market, the "Women's Procurement Program" would certainly help my business, however, it appears many competitive Set-Aside contacts still factor in past performance in technical proposals thus, the government selection methods with past performance requirements are benefited for women contractors. Keep in mind that so many women in business are not registered with CCR and based upon the Rand study for SBA of the program, I do not think the sources found are reliable.

Has anyone actually read Public Law 106-544, Section 811(m)?
The Fedmarket.com team believes we might have found a mistake in it and need to be pointed in the right direction. We would like to find out who wrote the legislation or what committee approved it so we can talk to the experts in the legislation itself.
Can anyone help point me in the right direction? No one at the SBA or the US Women's Chamber have returned my calls or emails. My cell phone number is 312-636-5381 and my email is ekent@wrt-inc.com
Thank you, in advance, for your assistance!

What is going to happen now? This press release seems to infer that the 5% preference for women will not be implemented any time soon. News Release PRESS OFFICE Release Date: March 11, 2005 Contact: Anne Marie Frawley (202) 205-6948 Release Number: 05-11 Internet Address: http://www.sba.gov/newsNational Academy of Sciences Confirms SBAs Concerns Regarding Study of Underrepresentation of Women-Owned Businesses in Federal Contracting WASHINGTON The National Academy of Sciences today released an independent report finding that a draft study prepared for purposes of implementing a preferential federal contracting program for women-owned small businesses is seriously flawed and should be revised in accordance with the reports recommendations. The U.S. Small Business Administration commissioned the analysis of the draft study to ensure that the draft studys methodology would withstand judicial scrutiny under current court precedent. The distinguished panel of university professors unanimously concluded that: the disparity ratio estimates from the SBA Office of Federal Contract Assistance for Women Business Owners preliminary study (completed in late 2002) are not adequate to identify industries in which women-owned small businesses are underrepresented (or substantially underrepresented) in federal prime contracting. The report also concluded that the draft studys estimates should not be used to designate industries in which to permit the use of preferential contracting programs for women-owned small businesses and recommended that the SBA utilize more recent data and fully documented methods. Were very pleased to have received this report from the prestigious National Academy of Sciences and we thank them for their assistance, said Allegra McCullough, associate deputy administrator for Government Contracting and Business Development at SBA. The SBA is currently reviewing the reports recommendations and is committed to ensure that women-owned small businesses have all the possible opportunities for federal contracting. The National Academy of Sciences, founded in 1863 with a mandate to advise the federal government on scientific and technical matters, is a private, nonprofit, self-perpetuating society of distinguished scholars dedicated to the furtherance of science and technology for the benefit of the public welfare.

Thank you, Ms Dorfman, for your phone response. I eagerly await the event information you were mailing me. I think joining USWCC is a great idea. Problem is, we are working to change the US Constitution as a mentioned, putting the Equal Rights Amendment in it. "EQUALITY UNDER THE LAW SHALL NOT BE DENIED OR ABRIDGED BY THE UNITED STATES OR BY ANY STATE ON ACCOUNT OF SEX." This would much discrimination that exists against women, eliminate yes, some men too. I believe the discussions on this web site allude to some of them. Especially it would eliminate wage discrepancies between men's and women's salaries if the payor is a government - affiliated corporation/agency. We believe that eventually wages would equalize most places since societal pressure is a powerful thing. We have legal opinion that we only need 3 more states to ratify ERA to move it to the Federal level and then into the Constitution.
Want to know more? SandyJOestreich@cs.com I for one would love to join you but all spare momey goes into funding the ERA, getting gas money to go lobby in our capital.

Most Women-owned and minority-owned businesses currently have no opportunity to bid on large new developments in progress at Ft Campbell, KY. Contracting Office officials state one huge conglomerate will abscond all new custodial requirements. As it currently stands, there will be no procurement contracts announced for any of the new work opportunities because "there is no new requirement - it's merely an expansion for the current 'single contractor' in place." This is a total monopoly blocking all custodial contracts from small, women-owned businesses.

As a minority and woman-owned manufacturer since 19990, and 8a since 2003, SBA has been no help. It has been a struggle trying to raise money, and impossible to get Federal contracts. It is just to many rules and regulations. This is the reason why only about 3% of women get awarded government contracts.

As difficult as it is to admit it, women do still face discrimination, especially in particular markets. The federal government recognized this fact three-and-a-half years ago, but it (via the SBA) has failed to take the appropriate directed action. Women in the U.S. are therefore being institutionally discriminated against on a regular basis, under the illegal guise of "it's in process." If a private employer took this approach, it would be found to be in violation of civil rights. The federal government must be held to at least the same minimum standard or face similar penalties as those as private employers. More importantly, however, the issue must be addressed and correctly immediately to end discrimination against women in specific fields in which discrimination and underrepresentation are commonplace.

I have to put my two cents worth of comments about the SBA...I have been in my own business since 2000, I have dealt with members of various SBA organizations trying to pursue small business opportunities since 1994 and since 2000 for a woman-owned business...only to say...the SBA is a useless and uneventful organization when it comes to assisting in the pursuit of business. Their assistance is one sided when it comes to your ethnic origin. I have been to SBA sponsored procurement functions...I can honestly say that our Tax Dollars are being wasted! If our government thinks the SBA is really helping women and men to pursue the american dream of business ownership...they need to wake up...and live in our world!

MY EXPERIENCE HAS BEEN WHERE IT HAS BEEN IMPOSSIBLE TO GET ANY TYPE OF FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE FROM THE SBA OR WOMEN'S PROCURMENT PROGRAM. The requirements are impossible to meet if you are a start up company. This program is not user friendly. I thought these programs were intended to help low income people who wants to get out of proverty and make something of them self. But, every program wants money to become a member and I am not talking but say $50.00. I talking about hundreds of dollars. These programs are not in the business to help people, they are in the business to make money. That is just my opinon.

One big problem is that the SBA's funds are being cut and it makes it hard to function. If they have the resources for this, they should not drag their feet! We need to let the Congress and Senate know that cutting these funds will slow the economy. Small businesses is the key to economic growth and if they don't give the SBA what they need to see that we grow, there will not be additional revenue in the future! The SBA programs were created to do just that, boost the economy from the bottom up.

In response to Mike Roger's Post. I am actually in agreement with Mike that set-asides should not be necessary. And, I believe that rule upon rule upon rule has been imposed trying to assure their are opportunities for all.
Unfortunately - our federal procurement system barely has a clue what true "competitive markets" are all about. And, now that the marketplace is full of set-asides, it is difficult for women-owned businesses to make any headway.
The federal government's own 2001 study of the issue relative to women-owned businesses concluded that the very existence of all the set-asides makes it difficult for women-owned small businesses to compete and that a WOSB set-aside was the recommended solution to assist procurement officers to more effectively help the share of procurements going to women to increase.
Are set-asides going away? NO. Has the legislation been authorized? Yes. Women-owned businesses represent over 30% of the marketplace and receive less than 5% of government procurements --- even though small business as a whole get 23%. Do the math. Does this really sound like a competitive market? No. It is a market of preferences, set-asides, etc. Unfortunately - the truth is the truth. Without some sort of assistance, WOSB's are FURTHER discriminated against.

I am in the 11th year of public works construction contracting with my electrical contracting company. My observation is that the SBA is at best not very helpful and it is only a small stretch to say that they create barriers to sucess for aspiring women entrepreneurs. If I had heeded their advice I never would have founded the company, expanded nor entered new areas of opportunity. Several women associates are encountering the same thing in respect to their business plans. Most recently SBA has strongly discouraged me both from establishing my Native American tribal affiliation and pursuing the 8A program. My only conclusion is that their priority is on areas other than women owned business. I do not believe we can expect any help from SBA in regards to "Women's Procurement Program".

Terri Williams, presented clearly the statistics and facts!
Furthermore, it cannot be forgotten the effect of 8 years of democratic rule, designed to destroy the small firms, with various methods; none the less regulations and administrative functions detracting from productive use of time for the business owner.
I was told by a Federal representative:" If my intervention in causing you aggravation and loss of productive time results in your going out of business, we do not care! Somebody else will pick up the slack!"

As a (Male) minority stockholder in Small Woman Owned Business that does government contracting I am opposed to the new WBE set aside. In fact the nation would be best served by eliminating almost all set asides except for generic small business programs, SBA loan programs and Service connected disability programs.
The service disabled veterans gave up a part, sometines a substantial part, of their lives and their enjoyment of life, to protect the restr of us and our ability to use our talents in business. They should be compensated for this.
Other set asides have become "pork barrel" games played by various groups to secure contracts without competition. Incidentally, the owner of my employer could easily become certified as a minority owned business but refuses to do so. If she did so, the taxpayers would not suddenly receive better products, or more brillant engineering studies, or anything else, but the company would be eligible for and probably would receive additional government contracts. This is ridiculous.

As an African-American, Woman, Veteran, the Federal Procurement process was in effect created to protect the large white defense corporations that acquire billions in contract dollars each year. Ironically, these corporations also have a track record for overbilling and under delivering the products to the government. To change this "System" of good ole boy procurement, women must demand that they have senior positions within these corporations as Procurement Managers etc and then set policies for the corporation in procuring out to women owned business. Women will continue to be left out of the federal procurement process if we don't start elected women to top procurement positions within an organization where we can make a difference and where our voice will be heard.

As an attorney advising women- and minority-owned businesses and Federal contractors, I applaud the proposed establishment of set-asides for certified women-owned businesses in industry/market areas that have proved difficult to penetrate. Just as the 8(a)BD and service- disabled programs do for certified 8(a)BD participants and service-disabled veteran owned companies, the Womens Procurement Program will give women-owned businesses more opportunity to prove themselves and to acquire the experience needed to strengthen their role in the U.S. economy. Certification for Federal procurements will not add unduly to their burden, since many, if not most, of these companies already obtain certification as woman-owned or DBE/woman-owned companies for procurements at the State, local or private corporate level.

As the Program Manager for the Northeast Ohio Procurement Technical Assistance Center I have counseled many small businesses owned by both genders. I do not believe that requiring WOSBs to be certified will be an advantage to them. It will just add to the regulatory burden that already bogs down small businesses. Presently WOSBs can self-certify according to the SBA, and it works well for the WOSBs I think. Maybe the other parts of the proposed new law will be favorable for WOSBs, but this part will not be.

Thank you for being willing to try to get more opportunities with less limitations for women. As a Puerto Rican, assertive, middle age, professional Holistic practioner, massage therapist, sole proprietress, gay, I feel that, since 1991, I have been misunderstood & discriminated against. I haven't been able to afford to pay for health/dental insurances either. Maybe, things might get better by creating conciousness.
Unfortunately also, in the State of TX, the profession of Massage Therapy has become legalized prostitution due to lack of legal enforcement by the agencies responsible, & lack of information/action on behalf of ethical society members.
