A 30-year-old man was hospitalized Friday night after a snake bit his member while he was sitting on the toilet at his parents' house in northern Israel.
According to a Channel 10 report, the man, a resident of central Israel, paid his parents a visit in the northern town of Nofit. While sitting on the john, he was rudely and painfully interrupted when a snake appeared and bit his penis. The victim "ran from the room in horror" and went to Haifa's Rambam Medical Center for treatment, according to the report.
A blood test found that the snake was not venomous. The man was in good condition, but doctors decided to keep him under medical supervision.

Chi-town mayor Rahm Emanuel had some fun at Taste of Chicago. (Please try your best to ignore the videographer's vertical recording faux pas.)
What do you think of the Jewish mayor's subtle dance moves? We give him a 5 ... You can do better, Mr. Emanuel.

We know what you're thinking: Please, please, please tell me he's not Jewish.
But, alas, no such luck.
The right honorable mayor of San Diego, who is being raked over media coals as one former female staffer after another steps former to detail exactly what the former Democratic congressman did to pressure, cajole, badger and intimidate them into sexual intimacy.
"Three ex-supporters repeated their demand for Mayor Bob Filner to resign Monday and said he forcibly kissed two constituents and grabbed the buttocks and breast of a staff member," wrote Tony Perry in today's Los Angeles Times. "Filner's behavior toward women is so egregious that women who work for him call him a 'dirty old man' and coined the phrases "the Filner headlock" and "the Filner dance" to describe how he isolates women and then makes unwanted advances, attorney Marco Gonzalez said."
Filner earlier admitted he needed help, but today announced he would not resign. He acknoweldged behaving inappropriately but rejected the charge of sexual harrassment.
Meanwhile LA Times columnist Robin Abcarian has stepped forward as Coal-Raker-in-Chief. In her column today, entitled, "Kisses, headlocks and groping: San Diego mayor's lurid scandal," she quoted a play-by-play of the mayor's more subtle advances:
"I want to kiss you, you are so beautiful," the mayor allegedly said to a campaign volunteer before grabbing her on a sidewalk and "jamming his tongue down her throat." She pushed him away, but she had agreed to give him a ride and didn't want to be rude. While she was deciding what to do, Frye said, the mayor "quickly had his hand on the inside of her bra and was again trying to put his tongue down her throat."
With allegations like that, you can bet the Filner story broke high and hard. Anytime you can get "jamming his tongue down her throat" and "former Congressman" into one graf, you have DC gold.
For the curious and the nervous, an answer to your question: Yes, Mayor Filner is Jewish. He was born and raised in the Squirrel Hill neighborhood of Pittsburgh, the son of the son of Sarah F. and Joseph H. Filner. Filner attended Cornell, eventually receiving his PhD in history.
As a Freedom Rider in Jackson, Mississippi in June 1961, Filner was arrested for "disturbing the peace and inciting a riot." He refused to post bail and stayed in jail for two months.
Why, you may ask, does it matter whether Filner is Jewish or not? There's a sense among Jews of extended family-- tribe, if you will-- and when one stumbles we all feel the trip. Plus it's not great for the overall image.
In the past, the most egregious scandals featuring Jewish names have been financial-- Bernie Madoff being the most visible, the most hurtful, the most repugnant. But lately Jewish names are more and more attached not to financial scandals but to sexual ones: Elliot Spitzer and his high class hookers, Anthony Weiner and his photojournalism. At least this confuses the tiny men who lurk in the dark, anti-semitic eddies of the Web, snapping at every Jewish surname attached to every money scandal like a fish at worms. It turns out we don't just care about money, see?
As for Filner, it's unclear how deep his resevoir of support in the San Diego Jewish community is. A few weeks ago he was scheduled to take part in a Jewish Federation run to raise money for victims of the Boston Marathon bombing, though he had to cancel. Back on March 4 he met in San Diego with Alon Schuster. mayor of Sha'ar HaNegev, the Israeli sister city to San Diego. Filner is not scheduled to join other city elected officials on a mission to Israel sponsored by the Jewish Community Relations Council (JCRC) of the Jewish Federation of San Diego County. The one-week trip is to depart July 21. Maybe he should reconsider...

Say what you want about James Franco, but at least you can't accuse the guy of not being able to laugh at himself. Last night the Jewish uber-overachiever announced via an Instagram video that he will be the subject of an upcoming Comedy Central roast.
"Hey, yo. What's up? I'm gonna get roasted on Comedy Central. Be sure to check it out. They wanted me to tell you that. All right. Ha ha," he said.
The special will be filmed over the summer and air Sept. 2.

Just when you thought it was impossible for the very talented Lena Dunham to be amazing at one more thing, the prodigal filmmaker/author/actress has added another line to her resume: Really great friend.
The "Girls" creator is participating in Miranda July's "We Think Alone" project, in which stars share their private e-mails. For this week's installment, participants were asked to contribute "an email that gives advice."
Dunham's wise words are directed at her friend "K," who is in what appears to be a troubled relationship.
You did nothing wrong. He is NOT NICE. He says not nice things in a nice voice so they seem nice but they are not. He isn't kind or careful with you, he wants to suck the kindness out of you, and if he's like this after 10 years of group therapy then G-d help us all. He's not for you bc he's not for anyone. Do you hear me? Good. I understand SO much the appeal, but he's not worth your energy and someone like art guy may not be perfect or right but he's starting on a good foot by offering some of himself to you and wanting to give you pleasureful times.
Not exactly the kind of thing you'd hear self-involved Hannah Horvath telling Marnie, is it? And what's with the G-d spelling? Did Lena go to yeshiva or something?

Despite Internet rumors to the contrary, celebrity chef Paula Deen has not added the Jews to the list of groups she's offended.
Concerns about the former television host's alleged anti-Semitism have been making the rounds in the wake of the publication of the article, "Paula Deen Blames 'The Jews' for Firing," by The Daily Currant, a satirical news site, on June 28. In the fake news article, Deen says "Jew executives" are responsible for her dismissal from The Food Network, exclaims, "It's the Jews I can't stand" and even criticizes Jewish funnyman Jerry Seinfeld.
Snopes.com—a popular source for debunking misinformation spread online—confirms that the story about Deen and the Jews is false.
Over the past couple weeks, Deen has faced a storm of media criticism and repercussions after having admitting to previously using the N-word. She was dropped from the cooking channel that she has called home since 2002, lost a key endorsement deal and more, all because of last month's release of a civil court document in which she says she used the racial slur.
It was these troubles that inspired the Currant story.
"Deen, 66, was a guest of morning host Dave Garver on Atlanta radio station WTMI when she claimed 'Jew executives' deliberately abandoned her in the wake of the controversy, which stemmed from a discrimination lawsuit filed by a former employee against her company," The Currant reported.
On its website, the Currant describes itself as an "online satirical newspaper...our mission is to ridicule the timid ignorance which obstructs our progress, and promote intelligence - which presses forward."

Here's a little quiz: Suppose a movie titled "Aliyah" came out; what would you expect to be its main theme? The answer would probably depend on the time period.
In the 1920s and '30s, "Aliyah" would have been about Diaspora Jews settling in Palestine, where they became bronzed pioneers transforming the Hula swamps into fertile farmland.
In the 1950s, the film might have been about Holocaust survivors coming to the newly established Israel, where they built new lives after the horrors of the past.
In 2013, "Aliyah" is about the interior struggles of a French-Jewish drug pusher who thinks he might make something of his life by joining his cousin in opening a restaurant in Tel Aviv.
There are no heroes or heroics in the contemporary "Aliyah," and despite the risky occupation of Alex Raphaelson as a retail hashish dealer, there are no shootouts or car chases.
Alex and his circle of relatives represent a different breed of Jews, neither shtetl dwellers nor doctors or bankers, and they live in a shabby working-class district of Paris, worlds removed from the Louvre and the Champs-Élysées.
In addition to his occupational hazards, Alex, portrayed by the rising French actor Pio Marmai, has other problems.
Foremost is his older brother Isaac, forever hitting up Alex for "loans" to pay off unnamed underworld characters, who will otherwise carve up the hapless Isaac.
Furthermore, Alex has just been dumped by Esther, a Hebrew teacher at a local religious school, who has become engaged to a more stable guy.
When a cousin, who had earlier left Paris to serve in the Israeli army, talks of his plans to open a trendy restaurant on the Tel Aviv waterfront, Alex announces that he wants in on the deal and, to everyone's surprise, will make aliyah and live in Israel.
That, according to the film, is not as easy as in decades past, when any Jew was automatically welcomed.
Now a shaliach (emissary) tells a group of applicants that they must learn Hebrew, serve in the army if they are of military age, have no criminal record and prove they are indeed Jewish.
This transformation of a rather indifferent Jew into a worthy future citizen of the Jewish state could have been played for broad laughs (as part of the test, Alex is asked to name some of the Jewish holidays), but that is not the style of the movie or of its director, Elie Wajeman.
Despite the tests and the unanimous opinion of his drug trade colleagues and relatives that he must be out of his mind (one warns that "a lot of Jews together can be a drag"), Alex perseveres.
He digs into his family background to prove that he's Jewish, dutifully takes Hebrew lessons and must pull off one final really big job to raise money for his partnership share in the Tel Aviv restaurant.
The biggest complication, though, is a new relationship with Jeanne, the only major non-Jewish character in the film. She is smart enough to guess Alex's "profession" and see through his hang-ups, but can't help falling madly in love with him. "I like clumsy guys," she explains. "They move me."
The film ends in Tel Aviv as Alex gets acquainted with a cross-section of his new hometown in an extended bus ride.
In keeping with the film's nonjudgmental tone, it doesn't reveal whether Alex adjusts to his new country, marries a nice Israeli girl and conquers the demons and hang-ups within him.
Most published reviews of "Aliyah" have ranged from positive to outright enthusiastic, with major critics — as well as this reviewer — taken by the psychological perceptiveness and atmosphere of the film.
A number of bloggers have been less supportive, citing their disappointment with the lack of high-octane action, a generally somber tone and the incessant cigarette smoking.
Whatever the view, the film draws great strength from its excellent young cast. Complementing the dark and handsome Marmai are auteur Cédric Kahn as the pathetic Isaac, and Adele Haenel as the perceptive and ardent Jeanne.
"Aliyah" is in French and Hebrew, with English subtitles. It continues at Laemmle's Music Hall in Beverly Hills through July 4.

In our garages we have many different tools that serve a variety of purposes. Some we use in the garden, some in woodworking, and some when we work on our cars. Just like the garage in our houses, teachers have a digital garage full of tools they can use to improve teaching and learning. The question we explore in this TILE-SIG feature is how do teachers (and their students) choose the best tool in the digital garage for the task at hand.
At times, it is easy to simply use the tools we know, but are these tools the best fit for the purpose? In our work with faculty, PK-12 teachers, and students, we have learned that learning what tools are available and how best to use them increases the information and communication possibilities. We devised a framework of thinking about the particular strengths, limitations, and perceptual modalities tools emphasize. We also wanted to consider the level of difficulty used in using the tool for the creator and for the audience who might need to access the tool.
The range of tool possibilities is ever-growing, so these are only examples, of course. Podcasts, for example, are relatively easy to create (a strength) but they don't feature visuals (a possible limitation). The modality emphasized is auditory. This type of media works well when the primary mode of learning is auditory (or presents an auditory version of a print-based work). On the other hand, Voicethread has a free version educators can use, and an educator version with additional features. It is easy to upload and integrate pictures, PowerPoint® slides, video, and to promote discussion via the comment feature. The free version limits the number of projects. Voicethread integrates linguistic, visual, and auditory channels if the creator chooses to use all three. For classrooms filtering software may block access to interactive sites, another limitation.
Teachers can also consider the level of difficulty for themselves, for student-authors, and for audiences. Students' knowledge of the tools also must be considered. A screencast, for example, is a tool for creating a presentation by capturing what is on the author's screen with some audio narration and sometimes webcam video of the author, as well. The author needs a microphone and the software necessary for capturing the screen (e.g. Jing, Snagit, Screencast-o-Matic). For the creator or author, the level of difficulty is a bit higher than it would be for the audience who needs only click on a link.
Though our PK-12 students are technologically quite savvy in many ways, they also need the guidance of instructional natives (those who know how best to teach other humans) in choosing tools. We offer five guidelines for choosing digital tools:

Harley Davidson is celebrating its 110th anniversary this year with a host of events worldwide
And even though the tour won't be making it all the way to Ireland, this famous motorcycle will be remembered at another event in Ballina, County Mayo.
The Old Heads Harley Rideout will kick off on 10 May with musical performances and on 11 May, over 200 bikers will get on their Harleys and ride off into the beautiful Mayo countryside.
The Old Heads are a group of friends who have been riding motorcycles together for many years. Their name evolved out of an old 'Shovelhead' club to which most of their members previously belonged, according to member Jon O'Neill. He explains, "Shovelhead was a nickname given to the Harley Davidson engine manufactured between 1966 and 1984, due to its shovel like rocker covers".
The iconic motorbike company was created by childhood friends, William S Harley and Michael Davidson, in the early 1900s and it has become an internationally recognised brand. Shipping almost 250,000 motorbikes last year, the world's admiration for Harleys is still going strong.
For Jon, "the appeal of Harley Davidson is legendary. It evokes freedom, which sits nicely with the laid back nature of the west of Ireland." True to form as a Harley appreciation club: "our members own and ride a good cross section of Harley Davidsons, vintage, classic and custom, and have all been riding motorcycles for anything between 25 and 40 years."
These Ballina bikers "customise, restore and ride Harley Davidsons and organise custom shows, 'rocknites' and rideouts in the west of Ireland". They decided to organise their own rideout after attending plenty abroad for "something a little bit different and off the beaten track", says Jon.
Ballina's location in the west of Ireland means it's not necessarily on all tourists' radar but it should be. The rideout route will showcase the region wonderfully as it "weaves its way along the beautiful North Mayo coast stopping at scenic and historic locations en route and then returning to Ballina in the afternoon," says Jon.
More than 200 visiting bikers will experience what Jon considers to be a great local asset: "Ireland, and the West of Ireland in particular, has lots of scenic, uncluttered, quiet roads. Friendly people and bikers make for top motorcycling country." Well you can't ask for much more, can you?
The Old Heads Rideout will depart around midday on 11 May. And even non-bikers should attend, the epic sight of 200 or so motorbikes setting off into the scenery shouldn't be missed!

By and large, Washington State football players aren't saying a lot when asked about the job future of their coaches. The head man, Paul Wulff, has instructed them to concentrate on preparation.
But when asked, they occasionally weigh in, and sophomore guard John Fullington did Saturday night after WSU's 30-7 defeat to California.
"The coaches are coaching their butts off," said Fullington. "I've got a lot of respect for them, putting in so much time and effort.

See, here's the danger in allowing a former business reporter turned stay-at-home toddler mom to write a retail column. She may end up writing about playground equipment.
I may actually be more excited that there's a new play area at Cross Creek Mall than I am about an upcoming major mall expansion, which is slated to include stores such as Chico's, Loft and White House Black Market. Well, almost more excited.
In my defense, I'm not the only one writing about kids climbing the malls. The Wall Street Journal reported in May that this stuff is trendy, with sales of mall play areas rising from less than $500,000 in 2000 to an estimated $12 million this year.
The article was titled, "If Kids Can Play, Will Mom Shop?"
I'll answer that. Yes.
During the 19 months that I spent at Fort Polk, La., a friend and I sometimes drove 60 miles to Alexandria, La., so our kids could play at that town's mall.
Cross Creek Mall's new play area, near J.C. Penney, is smaller than the one in Louisiana and smaller than those in two Triangle malls. But it's free.
The area is sponsored by the Fayetteville Area Convention and Visitors Bureau, so naturally, its fiberglass and foam climbing structures include a miniature Market House, airplane, parachute and golf ball.
Speaking of energy outlets, Busy Bodies Exploratory opened this month at Westwood Shopping Center, across from Wells Fargo. Parents stay and pay for kids age 6 months to 5 years to play with a kitchen, water tables, art area, school bus, etc.
Owner Basha Armstrong - a military spouse, former child-care worker and mom - said Fayetteville needs more options for younger kids. Price varies according to age and day.
I'm confused by the ripping off of siding at Aspen Creek, which opened two years ago at Westwood Shopping Center and is now closed. Lonnie Player, who handles leasing at Westwood, said Aspen Creek's parent company, Texas Roadhouse, has some plans there but that he's been asked to let Roadhouse do the talking.
Now, it's not like the guy who hand-picked that location - and developed the Aspen Creek concept - is out of the picture. Far from it. Aspen Creek, with its ski chalet vibe, is the brainchild of Kent Taylor, Roadhouse founder and a University of North Carolina alum.
"I guess I was getting a little bored cranking out more Texas Roadhouses," Taylor told me in 2010. At the time, he was a key player at the Kentucky-based Roadhouse chain but had been out of the chief executive seat for years. He climbed back in last year when the former CEO left.
Fayetteville's was the third Aspen Creek to open. The first two are still listed on the Aspen Creek website, while Fayetteville is not. A spokesman for the 370-plus-restaurant chain said by email that he had information to share but has yet to share it.
I'm standing by.
Hope Mills now has two Bojangles' restaurants. A new one opened on Corporation Drive, a few miles from Gray's Creek High School.
Regulars at Eutaw Village Shopping Center may have noticed some work related to an eye doctor's expansion and will soon see some exterior fixes on a section of the center. Management said it's just time for a spruce-up.
Trade-It!, which deals in buying, selling and trading of pre-owned goods, opened a new store this month in the former Blockbuster at 4116 Raeford Road.
Trade-It!, the not-quite-eight-year-old company, is expanding, according to its website. There already are 11 locations, including on Cliffdale Road and Bragg Boulevard. The website adds that Trade-It! works to change "consumer perceptions of the second-hand industry" and aims to be "as professional, well-appointed, and customer service-oriented as the very best retailers of new goods."
The Raeford Road store will be a flagship of sorts, said Shawn Batista, the general manager.
I kind of wanted to sell him something, just so I could attempt to haggle. Apparently, this is what happens when you've watched too much reality television. Batista said some people do come in saying, "I've seen 'Pawn Stars,' I know how it is."
Of course, that's TV and not actually how it is, said Batista. He has, however, visited the Las Vegas shop where the History Channel films "Pawn Stars" and even had his picture taken with Chumlee.

Procedure: Manual acupuncture
Acupuncture is an ancient Chinese practice involving the insertion of needles into specific parts of the body for therapeutic purposes. Although the practice has become more popular in the West, the underlying mechanisms of acupuncture have not been thoroughly examined. This study will determine how acupuncture affects human brain activity, particularly during deqi, a unique sensation experienced during acupuncture that is considered essential to the clinical effectiveness of the practice.
This study will comprise 2 clinic visits. At Visit 1, participants will be randomly assigned to receive manual acupuncture; electro-acupuncture, which passes an electrical current through the needles; or some type of sensory stimulation. At Visit 2, participants will again be randomly assigned to receive one of the three interventions. As participants receive their assigned intervention, they will undergo functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) brain scans. Participants will also have their heart rate monitored during the brain scans.

However, "the current evidence is insufficient to assess the balance of benefits and harms of primary care interventions to prevent child maltreatment," the task force said Monday. The recommendation applies to children (aged newborn to 18 years) who do not have signs or symptoms of maltreatment."
"The bottom line," said task force member and pediatrician Dr. David Grossman, "is that more research is needed on how primary care clinicians can effectively screen and protect all populations, including older and vulnerable adults, middle-aged women, men, and children, from abuse and violence."

Is it just me, or.....
Do other people worry about the amount of drivers NVidia pushes out?
Most don't even come with a readme, something along the lines of (for example)
12.xx - stablility, AA performance, VIA chipset, GF2 optimized
23.xx - framerates, don't use with ALI chipset, GF3 optimized
something to give us an idea of whats' up with the driver, as opposed to saving every single release and installing/uninstalling/reinstalling trying to find the right one.
That, and 27 different series of driver, and they still haven't got one they liked?

I'd like to output a list of all installed packages into a text file, so that I can review it and bulk-install on another system. How to do this?
To get a list of packages installed locally do this in your terminal:
To save that list to a text file called
(you don't need to run this as the superuser, so no | |||||||||||||||||||||
To list all installed packages,
Note: | |||
You can use Synaptic to save the current state of your installed packaged. In Synaptic, select "file/save markings", Enter the name of the file to save the state to, and make sure to check the "Save full state, not only changes" box. The file saved from this can be loaded into a new machine using "file/read markings" in Synaptic. | |||
I recommend using blueprint. Even though it is designed for servers, it can be also used from desktops as well. It will create a shell script/chef/puppet that you ca use to re-install all you packages. | |||||
You want to reinstall the packages now there on 12.04, right? If so, it's very easy. You'll need an "Ubuntu Single Sign On account." (Create it before reinstalling so that your system is synced.)
| |||||
Create a backup of what packages are currently installed:
Then (on another system) restore installations from that list:
To get rid of stale packages
To get installed like at backup time
| |||||||||||||
dpkg-query (instead of dpkg --get-selections, which lists some packages that are not installed) as follows:
| ||||
To get just the packages which were expressly installed (not just installed as dependencies), you can run
This will also include a brief description, which you may want. If not, use the option caveat: Yet another option seems to be to copy the file
| |||||||||||||||||||||
To list all packages intentionally installed by apt commands, run the following :
This provides a reverse time based view, with older commands listed first:
Installation data also showing synaptic usage, but without details (the same with installation date) :

Re: M&S underpantsNow, while we're on M&S and the changes in product...
Does anyone know a stockist of decent underpants for the "larger" man? For the last few decades, I've bought my "classic briefs" at M&S. As part of the cost-cutting régime there, they've done two things to them: first, they reduced the quality of the elastic so they only last a few washes before they fail to stay up. Then, they reduced the overall length so they no longer reach my waist (hence they don't stay in position over the beer-belly). I had a goodly stock of the last "good ones", obtained from a friendly rural M&S (Ipswich), but that's now running out. They no longer offer the real ones. Has anyone else had the problem, and know where to shop? And before you suggest "lose weight", I've been this size since 1960 and don't have any immediate plans to change - certainly not to simplify M&S product policies. Keef
You really shouldn't need to boil wash them, Keef. What if the Hokey Cokey IS what it's all about?!
Tours With Paws - I broke my dogs...but the views were worth it!
It is essential to match not only colour (and black goes with most stuff, and more importantly is never a lighter shade than the trouser); but consideration must be given to the weight of the material. Heavy wool socks are ok with corduroy, cavalry twill, tweed etc. More delicate textures are necessary for such as evening dress trousers. And I too am sorrowed by M&S policy on undergarments. I did track down some proper waist-fitting y-fronts recently and stocked up. Longevity of elastic is yet to be determined. Frequently misunderstood
Re: M&S socksThis seems an opportunity for one or more of the spinsters of this forum to come to the fore. You could always hold a darn-in
Fade away, and aviate...
Re: M&S socksSeriously, Keef, I suggest you ask the management what temp is in use, because it may be way more than is necessary with today's powders. (Hey, I sound just like an advert!). 40 degrees is more than enough, and elastic-friendly.
Re: M&S socks.........or you could keep them on 24 hours a day for three months a la submariner then remove them, whereupon they will walk to the bin on their own.
Antagonise no man, for you never know the hour when you may have need of him.
Blatant favouritism here.
A while back, I posted a perfectly good genuine question about bidets and it was instantly donked. But now we are talking about the cleanliness or otherwise of Keef's knickers and no-one's batting an eyelid. Is it because the boss is here in Sywell and the mice are playing? Timothy

Katherine Parsons, Assistant Professor of History
Katherine Parsons, an assistant professor of history at La Sierra, will store her belongings this June and fly to London for six to 10 months of research.
Katherine Parsons, an assistant professor of history at La Sierra, will store her belongings this June and fly to London for six to 10 months of research. She will traverse the country on trains to leaf through hundreds of fragile, bound letters, business records and other documents at St. John's College at Oxford University, at Oxford's Bodleian Library, the British Library in London, the London Metropolitan Archives and Guild Hall, Lambeth Palace Library and Winchester Cathedral Library. She is trolling for evidence scattered in papers around England, looking for the story of the 16th Century relationship between St. John's College and the Merchant Taylor's Association. The business group had financial arrangements with the college and a say in who was allowed to teach there, how the institution should spend money and other matters. The relationship persisted despite the Merchant Taylor Association's alignment with Puritanism, and the college's bent toward conservative Anglicanism.
Parsons is researching "religious tolerance and how these two institutions who had such differences learned to navigate" one another and the Reformation. She plans to fold her research into a dissertation for a doctoral degree she is pursuing at the University of California, Riverside. "It is a historical narrative within the context of the English Reformation," Parsons said.

It's time to ante up for a good cause with the Michael Hoefflin Foundation! On July 14, Diamond Jim's Casino in Rosamond, CA. will host a Texas Hold'em Poker tournament. Scott Schauer, Don Goettlina and Dave Toneman will be chairing this exciting event, and proceeds of the tournament will benefit children with cancer and their families.
Now in its second year, the Texas Hold'em Poker Tournament promises to be yet another exciting and successful event. Tournament organizer and sponsor Scott Schauer remarked, "This economy has made things tough for all of us, imagine how hard it is for a family that also has to deal with their child's cancer."
Sponsorships are available as low as $250. Individual entry is $125 and is limited to 200 spots. Cash prizes. There will be a complimentary buffet for all tournament players. Registration and check in 11 a.m. with a start time at 1 p.m. Register online at www.MHF.org. Diamond Jim's Casino is located at 118 20th Street West in Rosamond.
Throughout the year, the Foundation helps in many ways, including providing gas and grocery assistance, support group meetings, and family outings -- aid crucial to families dealing with the emotional and unexpected financial burden of cancer. "The poker tournament is a great event," states Gillian Stone, Executive Director of the Michael Hoefflin Foundation. "The proceeds will help us continue to assist the children with cancer and their families."
The Michael Hoefflin Foundation for children's cancer is a public non-profit 501(c) (3) foundation serving children and families touched by pediatric cancer in the Santa Clarita and surrounding valleys. Their mission statement: to strive to educate the public and provide grant funding for innovative research to accelerate progress in the fight against pediatric cancer.
