Gaming adequate to shield it from organized crime and other corrupting influences, to ensure that the winnebago tribe of nebraska is the primary beneficiary of the gaming revenues, and to ensure that gaming is conducted fairly and honestly by both the operators and players; 8 ; and whereas, igra establishes a system of agreements between indian.
Less important further from the river. the alledeghi plain, for example, is considered open grazing land for all afar.iz7however, since traditional rules to restrict resource use have broken down, the alledeghi plain is being heavily o~ergrazed.'~~ meanwhile, conflict continues between the lssa and afar in amibara, and is expanding northward along the djibouti road above gewane town. the issa are now dominant in many of the small trading towns along the road. they have formed alliances with contraband traders from djibouti who supply illegally imported industrial goods from dubai and other areas.lz9.the issa also trade in cattle. highland peoples from the north are also involved in trade in towns such as metahara.i3o the afar do not engage in trade because they lack the skills and knowledge to effectively participate in the market, their population is widespread and diffuse, and because of some cultural prohibitions. the afar control no trading routes.13' the growing predominance of the issa in parts of the basin has caused fear among the afar that trade and mercantilism are a precursor to the issa staking greater claims to own adjacent lands. this has caused a number of clashes between the afar local government and the issa, who in many cases do not recognise the afar's jurisdiction. the tension has resulted in insecurity and low intensity conflict along the addis-djibouti railway and addis-asseb road, including the deaths of several lorry drivers.'32 this has resulted in the closure of the road on several occasions, bringing the conflict national attention. conflict also continues in the southern part of the basin near to metahara. the national park remains strongly contentious, as does the large sugar cane plantation in the area. the core area of the national park has been severely reduced as grazing and farming encircle the park and go beyond the original park boundaries. the area surrounding the park is severely degraded. frequent clashes between the afar and the kerreyu have occurred inside the park itself. both groups avoid areas near to the park and the park itself as a result, although they have excellent grazing areas that were used historically as drought reserves. during the drought in 1996 and 1997, herders lost many livestock in the nearby kerreyu. highly nutritive seasonal grasses near to the park were unused owing to the pervasive tension and ongoing conflict. in fact, it is suggested that the imperial government of haile selassie actually constructed the dinkuku pond in the area of the national park to discourage the kerreyu and the afar from grazing in and near to the park. the logic underlying selassie's strategy was that the two hostile groups would keep retreating backwards away from the pond and pastures, to avoid conf~ontation.'~~ authority for managing the national park remains with the federal government through the ethiopian wildlife conservation organisation ewco ; , although most other national parks are under the jurisdiction of regional governments. in the case of the awash national park, it was felt that the current afar government did not have the capacity to address the problems in the.

Letter to the editor september 29, 2005 in "conceptual challenges from pathological gambling" journal of gambling issues, issue 14, september 2005 ; , nigel turner wrote, "i have heard some people try to explain machine gambling as a process of hypnotism caused by the spinning reels of a machine. but such an explanation does not account for addictions to betting on horses, dice, or free poker site or other card games, where there are no spinning reels to speak of." while i agree that the theory explaining addiction to gambling in terms of the hypnotic trance state that occurs as a consequence of gaming machine play does not account for people's addiction to betting on horses, dice, or poker or other card games, i have to challenge the notion that the part the hypnotic process plays in gaming machine addiction is not worthy of further exploration. we may find through further exploration that the hypnosis that players experience may very well explain both the cause and the harmful effect of people's addiction to gaming machines. what i see as a fundamental flaw in research into gambling addiction these days is that very few researchers give any credence to the notion that the addiction-causing property that affects those who are addicted to gaming machines may not be the same property found to cause addiction to other forms of gambling, e.g., betting on horses or dice or even playing card games. what i propose is that while the reward or reinforcement might be the same in all instances of gambling i.e., the gaining of money ; , the addiction-causing property i.e., what the gambler gets out of the activity ; is not the same for all forms of gambling. consider for a moment the idea that the addictive in machine gambling is the trance state and the addictive in betting on horses is something else--the action or the win, for example. what if gaming machine addiction is as different from betting on horses, dice, poker, etc., as smoking cocaine is different from smoking.
