 Guardian | Recent events caused lotto slump, says Camelot boss
The chief executive of Camelot today told a committee of MPs that a recent slump in sales of lotto tickets was due to the Queen Mother's funeral, the golden jubilee and the World Cup.
Camelot's £72m re-launch of the main national lottery game two months ago, fronted by comedian Billy Connolly, was reported within weeks to have been a flop.
Sue Slipman, Camelot's director of external relations and compliance, told the committee: "I think it is clear that we are incentivised to run an efficient operation and that is what we do, but we do it in the interests of the good causes...

 Warwick Boar - Business   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
Camelot’s tactic of bombarding the public with every conceivable variety of game smacks of a panic that the lottery has simply had its day as they desperately try to recreate the initial buzz.
Compounding Camelot’s woes is the likelihood that the UK government (which licenses out the operation of the national lottery) will refuse to renew the license in 2009, and instead grant it to business mogul Richard Branson’s ‘People’s Lottery’ or, worse still, renationalise the entire operation.
Refusing to lie down quietly, the Camelot elite have engaged in some vigorous head scratching to try and turn the sweeping tide, and have come up with a variety of ideas ranging from the mouth-watering prospect of a super, one-off, £50m draw to the truly awful prospect of a daily draw.

 Anthropology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In contrast, many of Boas' anthropologist contemporaries were active in the war effort in some form, including dozens who served in the Office of Strategic Services and the Office of War Information.
In the 1950s, the American Anthropological Association provided the CIA information on the area specialities of its members, and a number of anthropologists participated in the U.S. government's Operation Camelot during the war in Vietnam.
At the same time, many other anthropologists were active in the antiwar movement and passed resolutions in the American Anthropological Association (AAA) condemning anthropological involvement in covert operations.

As part of tougher sanctions in the new licence the Commission has required Camelot to double the number of test purchases from 5,000 to 10,000 a year.

He proposed a strategy modeled in large part on the campaign in the Philippines that combined "white" and "fl" propaganda, economic development aid, and U.S.-trained and financed counterinsurgency operations to manage these problems in a manner that was "responsible" from the point of view of the industrialized world.
The Camelot Affair precipitated the first genuinely public discussion of the collision between the professed humanitarian values of modem social science and the actual ends to which it had been put in the world political arena.
Camelot contractors, notably sociologist Jesse Bernard of American University, replied that the criticism was "laughable" because Camelot's had been "designed as a scientific research project" in which me countries selected for study made "no difference." The argument escalated from there.

When the operation name first came out, it was the Dragnet reference that I thought of - not the religious one.
Perhaps if they had stated that they were calling it "Operation Pagan" because they wanted to protect the public to ensure the enforcement of common (but not universal) Pagan values by ascertaining that mischevious merrymakers harmed none, it could have been considered appropriate.
The BBC had a much better article on their website which had quotes from the police apologising, stating that it was an accident (the computer chooses their operations names at random apparently).

With the CIA usually in the lead, Washington spent hundreds of millions of dollars on book publishing, magazines, newspapers, radios, union organizing, women's and youth groups, scholarships, academic foundations, intellectual salons and societies, and direct cash payments to individuals (usually scholars, public intellectuals and journalists) who believed in ideas that America thought worthy of support.
But RFE, to put it mildly, was no Hi magazine; nor was its operation at all equivalent to surreptitiously handing bags of cash to pro-American journalists; nor was it aimed at a struggling new quasi-democracy, one patrolled by 100,000-plus U.S. troops.
It sounds like in each case the CIA is operating covertly abroad to advance the national interests of the US.

However, the force had not reckoned with the Pagan Federation, which said the name of the operation, to tackle vandalism and violence linked to longer autumn nights, was offensive.
Perhaps because the word pagan has traditionally had a wider usage as a synonym for hedonist before it was constricted by the resurgence of people who consider the term a badge of honor.
Perhaps because Operation Christian/Jew/Muslim lacks the repetition of the long A sound that lets Operation Pagan roll off the tongue.
