In Poker World Series, a Novice Flirts With Glory
By JOE DRAPE
Published: July 11, 2005
Last March, Josh Baer sat before a glowing computer screen in his apartment in Bloomfield, N.J., and let tears roll down his cheeks. For a $160 buy-in, and after three hours of carefully calculated mouse clicks, Mr. Baer, then a theater major at Montclair State University, had achieved a dream: He had defeated 80 other online players in no-limit Texas Hold'em, earning a trip here and a seat worth $10,000 in the main event of the 36th World Series of Poker.
As Mr. Baer, 26, shuffled into the Rio Hotel and Casino on Saturday morning with the headphones of his iPod draped around his neck and a backpack loaded with Gummy Worms and Raisinets, he was focused on his mission to play smart, survive 15 hours of poker and advance out of the first round. It was too early to think about reaching the tournament's final table on Friday, with its $1 million guarantee and $7.5 million first-place check.
As he took his seat at Table 142 amid a symphony of riffling chips, however, Mr. Baer was thunderstruck by the odds he faced even before a single card had hit the felt. He was one of 5,600 players hoping to rake in a life-changing pot this weekend and wear the coveted gold bracelet given to the winner.
''I feel so small,'' he said.
He was not alone. Into Sunday morning, Mr. Baer and his rivals would see their chips ebb and flow as their imagined fortunes rose and fell at the turn of a single card.
While 300 players in this record-breaking field were professionals, the rest looked like a cross-section of America. They included the celebrated -- like the actors Tobey Maguire and Jennifer Tilly and the golfer Rocco Mediate -- and the everyday people -- truck drivers, housewives and college students.
Like Mr. Baer, nearly half had won their seats for far less than the $10,000 buy-in at tournaments on Internet poker sites, which last year surpassed more than $1 billion in revenue.
Every player has visions of becoming the next Greg Raymer, the Connecticut patent lawyer who won the 2004 championship and the $5 million that came with it after gaining entry into the World Series by winning the same online tournament as Mr. Baer.
Their patron saint, however, is Chris Moneymaker, 29, who in 2003 was an accountant and amateur poker player who parlayed a $40 online entry fee into a $2.5 million windfall.
''I am the poster child for online poker,'' said Mr. Moneymaker, who was eliminated in the second round Sunday. ''Amateurs and people who never even played the game watched me on television and figured, 'Hey, I can do that.' And they're right.''
Mr. Moneymaker is widely credited with transforming a nearly two-century-old pastime played from frontier saloons to modern kitchen tables into a recent cultural phenomenon. Mr. Moneymaker, a young Tennessean in mirrored sunglasses who bluffed and bulldozed seasoned gamblers like Johnny Chan and Sam Farha, entranced viewers who watched the World Series on ESPN.
In 2003, Mr. Moneymaker faced a comparatively compact field of 839 players, and televised poker was not ubiquitous like it is now, with hundreds of hours shown on network and cable television. Among those watching the 2003 tournament was Mr. Baer, who was studying at Montclair State (he graduated in May) and spending an increasing number of hours online learning the nuances of no-limit Texas Hold'em, a game in which each player receives two cards and then bets progressively over the next five common cards on the table: three cards known as ''the flop,'' a fourth known as ''the turn'' and the fifth, ''the river.''
Watching Mr. Moneymaker, Baer decided to set his sights on the World Series of Poker, and he began spending up to 10 hours a day online, playing millions of hands and using computer programs to analyze and explain the mathematical probabilities that can determine a winning hand.
It was hardly a delusional ambition, especially in large tournament play, because luck and nerve often offset skill when cards are landing in front of the nine players at every table. Sports bookies here, known for their handicapping acumen, made Phil Ivey, considered among the best professional players in the world, the tournament favorite -- but at tepid odds of 400-1.
If poker's runaway popularity has a downside, it is felt most by the professionals who make their living around a card table. Bobby Baldwin won the 1978 World Series no-limit Texas Hold'em title by besting 41 other card sharks who anted up their own $10,000.
As chief executive officer of Mirage Resorts, however, Mr. Baldwin said he understood that what was good for the industry was tough on his friends.
''There are very, very good amateur players,'' Mr. Baldwin said. ''And when you have 6,000 players, the odds for the pros get watered down. When you're playing a hand, you have to make all sorts of assumptions on very little information. Over a course of a week, facing wave after wave of new faces, it gets tough to be right all the time.''
Mr. Mediate, for example, is ranked 32nd on the PGA Tour but rates himself no better than a ''14 handicap'' in no-limit Texas Hold'em, which he started playing just eight months ago. Still, before play began Sunday, he was in the top third of the players, with $33,825 in chips.

Hi all,
Is anyone interested in building the plastic Queen Mary 2 plastic model for a young boy?
Not sure which QM2 model it is.
A lady from Centerville, Virginia called the THS today.
She said she would pay someone to build it. How much? We don't know. That would be negotiated with the person who wants to do this. We don't think it would be a lot, we are just passing on the information.
If you are serious, email us at firstname.lastname@example.com and we'll pass on the information to her as soon as possible.

Hello myCMMS users or would-like users. The CVS tree is broken. I've changed so many things and relocated other things that I decided that I will only continue distributing the FULL source tree.
Goto www.mycmms.org to request the latest version.
The solution I use now is too time-consuming. I store the texts in a database and MUST generate the resource files.
I'm also forced to use variables $XXX in my program what makes it hard reading.
Therefore I plan to migrate to the gettext module.
I will publish a gettext version soon, that contains no changes in the functionality, but will have all the texts managed through PO/MO files (Refer to gettext).
I'll clearly indicate this in the FILES section.
Since I wanted to enable new features the old file structure is too flat. I've reorganized all the files in directories and took the occasion to clean up some code.
I also added 2 new tabs:
1) a STOP management system. I found it usefull to track stops together with production data. I thus created an import of production data. This is an alternative for the old downtime...
2) Reliable Centered Maintenance. We maintain machine functions. The parts of a function (motor, pump, valve, CPU...) might fail due to stress, overcharge. This module organizes my thinking in terms of reliability and actions.... read more
At this time, I'm working on an International Version of the program. All texts will be available and the language can be changed by changing 1 parameter in config.inc.php...
The texts will be comfortably located in a NEW table.
I'm looking at this moment to make the content of the lists better. The actual lists are quite good, but sometimes it would be helpfull to be able to have lists with grouping. I would also like to have the possibility to emphasize some fields (other color, bold e.g.).
Version 1.1 is now available as a zip file, which might be easier then using CVS ...
To create the database use myCMMS_dump_all.sql.
Be careful, it is a DROP IF EXISTS mechanism, which means, you'll loose everything !!!
Otherwise apply the changes grouped in the myCMMS_mod#.sql files.
(The myCMMS_dump.sql is the old creator)
I linked my personal development directly to the sourceforge.net CVS system.
So all changes will be available immediately.
Included in CVS/mycmms/manuals now :
All my documentation in HTML format. Normally the links work.
Have much reading fun.
Until now, I always used other tools to visualize my budget situation. I integrated the library jpgraphs in my project (no changes).
I also added some tables to enable budget follow-up.
When you want to use this, you must adapt the changes described in /sql/myCMMS_mod4.sql
They will NOT affect other existing functions.
The mysqldump solution allowed little control on the creation of the database. So, I created 2 setup files that allow the creation of the database (setup.php) and fill it with some initial data (setup_data.php).
FIRST change the $hostName, $userName, $password and $databasename in these files.
As soon as you launch them the creation (filling) starts.
For my installation, I used InnoDB as the MySQL engine. It could be you don't want this and want to use the MyISAM engine instead, simply change the SQL statements correspondently.
Ouf, I finally managed to create all the necessary scripts on my development PC to fully support the CVS file system.
I promis to upload all changes here, so this becomes the latest status. Use the mycmms module, unfortunately the old one modulename is still visible.
Last TAG = VERSION041127
The package is splitted in 3 files :
- The actual system (PHP)
- the database (SQL)
- documentation (PDF)
I now use a class for MySQL database access, which makes the code more easy to read.
Since MySQL 5.0 offers some great advantages against 3.23. I plan to fork my development.
I will continue to release some improvements for 3.23 (missing things, bugs).
But I plan to rewrite some of the queries into procedures.
Fully functional myCMMS version is available 0.9
I abandonned temporarely the idea of offering a demo version. Instead a completer documentation is showed on the homepage.
(Problems with sessions, global variables)
On the homepage you can test myCMMS.
login with test / test
See BUGS -> some MySQL must be done
(These errors do not apply on the normal application)
Release of myCMMS 0.1

"College affordability has been a top priority of mine since Day One," Nixon said.
Nixon said in his written address that currently only 35 percent of Missouri adults have college degrees. He said Missouri needs to move that up to 60 percent for Missouri adults to compete for top jobs in the economy.
"So while tuition soared by double digits around the nation, Missouri schools kept tuition and fees flat for two years running," Nixon said. "Even if some schools impose modest tuition increases next year, we'll have protected Missouri families from the sharp tuition spikes seen in other states."
Nixon said college enrollment increased by 10,000 students last year, increasing applications at all of Missouri's universities.

Today, we are thrilled to announce a significant enhancement to the Quantcast service – the public beta release of our audience search (for a detailed description, click here). This is a significant milestone for us, as we evolve Quantcast.com from being a site-profile "dictionary" to a complete suite of services designed to make the process of identifying, discovering, and delivering audiences across all web properties large and small more accountable and actionable.
As with our Quantified Publisher and Open Internet Ratings services, our Audience Search capability will be offered openly to all – the only requirement is that you complete a Quantcast account registration. Once you have registered, click on the "Advanced Search" link next to the search box on any Quantcast page to access the beta audience search service. It will take you to a modified interface, which is designed to provide a ranking of property-level audience overviews based on criteria you define.
We know that since our launch, many of you have been using Quantcast to validate audience characteristics of sites as part of your business processes (media planning/buying, business development, etc.). Our unique measurement offering (leveraging pixel and panel data) has given Quantcast users access to millions of audience profiles, not just the tens of thousands typically available through panel-based services.
But our profile-based output created two primary challenges for users:
• Generally, you had to know the names of sites for which you wanted audience profiles (it wasn't easy to discover new potential sites, inventory packages, or networks)
• To facilitate multi-property comparisons, you had to manually pull each site's profile and aggregate data yourself
With our new audience search functionality, you now have powerful tools that allow you to define an audience's characteristics, and filter results based on a variety of criteria.
We are committed to delivering ongoing enhancement to this new feature, and are actively interested in receiving your feedback. As our Quantified Publisher universe grows we expect to offer dramatic improvements into the transparency and actionability of audience data. We look forward to current Quantcast users, and those actively considering joining our service, benefiting from that innovation.
We are eager to hear about what you like and the opportunities you see for improvement (you can reach us anytime at firstname.lastname@example.com).

Bankruptcy Law
Bankruptcy Law Questions? Ask a Bankruptcy Lawyer.
Hello and thank you for allowing me the opportunity to assist you.
Question: "My husband received a citation (law suit) for a charged off credit card debt. He also has several other charge offs that we have not received citations on. If he files for bankruptcy, how will this affect my credit? I have had nothing but excellent credit."
Answer: Fortunately, your husband's bankruptcy won't directly impact your credit, as each of you have a separate credit record. Of course, the bankruptcy could indirectly affect you to the extent that any joint accounts, such as credit cards, could suddenly have higher interest rates. But that won't cause your credit score to lower.
Have I satisfactorily addressed your concerns? If not, then please feel free to ask for clarification.
If the information that I provided was helpful, then please remember to click the green accept button so that I will receive credit and compensation for my time. Positive feedback is always appreciated as well. Thank you and good luck!
DISCLAIMER: Please understand that the complexities of most legal problems cannot be adequately addressed in this setting, and that I am only licensed to practice law in the state of Maryland. Accordingly, you acknowledge (1) that we have not formed an attorney-client relationship, and (2) that my post is general information only and is not specific legal advice.

John Scott approached about possible movie, fan-made trailer emerges
The John Scott movie may be closer to becoming a reality than people realize.
Scott's agent Ben Hankinson has already been approached about a potential movie about the All-Star Game MVP's career, according to TSN's Frank Seravalli. The longtime enforcer has also received "a slew of endorsement opportunities."
"The John Scott ride has been nothing short of a rollercoaster to an incredible ending," Hankinson said. "We do have a lot of different options for him to pursue, but he's not looking to do everything there is. He's going to have some different routes that he can take as far as books and even a potential movie. He can take it as far as he wants to."
With All-Star Weekend wrapped up, it's unclear if the 33-year-old will make another appearance on the NHL stage. But Scott, currently a member of the Montreal Canadiens organization, is hopeful he can stay close to hockey.
"Hopefully I can stick around and do something in the sport," said Scott, who is believed to have been offered a radio analyst job in the offseason before signing with the Arizona Coyotes. "If not, I'll do something else for work, you know, 9-to-5."
Meanwhile, the first of what is likely to be many fan-made trailers has already emerged for "John Scott: The Movie," featuring a number of highlights from Sunday's incredible game.

I'm extremely excited with the prospect of new Star Wars video games coming out over the next few years, especially Star Wars: Battlefront 3 (DICE is perfect for that, I think.) but I sorely regret that Star Wars: 1313 won't be among them. It's useless to focus on what could have been, I know, but the guys at IGN just dropped a bunch of knowledge about what 1313 would have offered.
First and foremost, the rumors are true: 1313 would have starred everyone's favorite Mandalorian bounty hunter, Boba Fett. The Fett man would have brought his considerable man-hunting skills and impressive armory to a "meticulously detailed" Coruscant in search of a valuable bounty. He wouldn't have come alone, either. He would have had a droid companion that would fight by his side. (It doesn't appear to have been IG-88, though. That would've been cool.) Much of the action in the game would have taken place in the eponymous "1313" an underground cityscape run by ruthless crime figures, but he would have also descended to layer 1314: A shadowy, dangerous slum. As Boba progressed in his mission, he would have unlocked equipment upgrades.
As we were previously told, Star Wars: 1313 would have offered a more "mature", darker look at the Star Wars universe and characters. What we didn't know then was that 1313 would have also opened the door to a television series about the same crime families. What role would Boba have played? Guess we won't find out, although I'd bet that there's better then even chances that there will probably be a Star Wars television series (or two) still in the works from Disney.
Star Wars: 1313 is officially dead for the time being, but I wonder if LucasFilms/Disney or one of its partners will resuscitate it. A video game would be cool, but I'd happily welcome a comic book or novelization in lieu of that.
The IGN crew was allowed to view a demo of Star Wars: 1313, but are unable to screen the entire thing for the public. Still, if you watch the video clips at the website, you're able to see a few seconds of it. There's that, plus lots of concept art and more at the site. Click through to see it all.

bedside cabinets. A large en-suite bathroom incorporates a

magnificent stone built, traditional Turkish barbecue, enabling you
to prepare and enjoy traditional healthy Turkish cuisine such as
kebabs with the authentic, char grilled flavour. Perfect for summer
evenings with an Efes or three!!
Dalaman is one of the few coastal areas which is still relatively
undeveloped and unspoilt. The town itself is several miles inland
and remains predominantly Turkish, with basic English spoken in most
of the cafes and restaurants. Tourism is relatively new to the area,
consequently prices are lower than in many of the resort towns.
The Turkish government has now designated the town a main touristic
area, making Dalaman an ideal location for a holiday in a
traditional Turkish town.
The town of Dalyan is approximately 20 minutes from Dalaman and is
set in the centre of a broad delta whose natural beauty is
completely unspoilt. This is one of the surviving corners of
paradise, an area of outstanding natural beauty and historic
Dalyan has many restaurants and bars catering for all tastes. As
well as traditional Turkish cuisine, there are many riverside
restaurants specialising in fish dishes and the catch of the day is
often brought to your table for your approval!! Dalyan also has its
own Chinese restaurant as well. When we stayed here, we ate at a
different restaurant every night and never had a bad meal once.
There are plenty of tourist shops selling the usual fake designer
clothes and watches as well as leather goods, jewelry, rugs and
traditional Turkish water pipes, (try before you buy!!) at very good
prices. The quality in general seems to be of a high standard.
The village of Dalyan is situated on a river, surrounded by lush
green fields breaking into spectacular mountain ranges. On the
opposite side of the river is the ancient city of Caunos that is one
of the greatest archaeological site in Turkey. Only 10% of the city
has been unearthed and every year more and more treasures are
discovered. You can take a short boat ride away from Dalyan harbour
down the river, where if you are lucky you may spot some of the
smaller river turtles, through the reed beds, (the film The African
Queen was filmed here), to the four kilometre long beach that is
home to the rare Caretta Caretta turtles. Because of this, the
beach is kept scrupulously clean with a restaurant/bar, where you
can eat home-made pancakes, cooked while you watch, there are well
maintained toilet facilities and sun loungers for hire.
Göcek is a short drive away from Dalaman. With the opening of the
new tunnel beneath the mountains, (proposed opening July 2006),
journey times will be just over 10 minutes.
Set at the deepest point of the gulf of Fethiye, Göcek nestles at
the foot of the pine clad mountains looking out over the '12
islands' of the bay. With a large natural harbour Göcek has grown up
to charter to the needs of yachtmen. Göcek is placed in the west
side of Fethiye Gulf and it is surrounded by the bays and islands as
forming an internal sea. The length of the gulf is not much longer
than 8-9 miles with one end as Göcek region and the other end is
Hamam Bay. And its width is between 1 and 2 miles.The gulf is
surrounded by the mountains and pine forests keeping on till the
sea. One of the pleasures of a visit here is a stroll around the
Marina to admire the array of boats of all shapes and sizes moored
The waterfront is lined with bars and restaurants. Inland life
revolves around the pretty market square which is lined with little
shops selling antiques and crafts as well as the more usual carpets.
In the daytime it is possible to swim from the small town beach, but
you will probably prefer to take a trip to one of the beaches in the
local nature reserves or a boat to one of the lovely islands in the
bay. Thought this area is called the 12 islands, there are, in fact,
far more than that and you could easily explore a different one each
day of your holiday. On some you will find a simple restaurant, on
others fragments of classical or Byzantine ruins, on others nothing
but glorious peace and quiet. Göcek has long been a desirable
destination for both Turkish and foreign yachtsmen, as well as a
favourite stopover for jet-setters and celebrities alike.
Sarıgerme, with its seven kilometres of coastline, shallow sea and
the island of Babaada not too far in the distance, is truly a
perfect holiday haven. Up until recently the coast was a very messy
place that has since been cleaned and cleared by an environmental
association of the region. Services such as food and drink outlets,
showers, toilets, beach chairs, umbrellas and dressing cabins, as
well as a dinghy service across the water to Osmaniye, are all
available. One can also take long walks along the coast. There is
a small charge at the entrance, which goes towards the upkeep and
services for the beach. The island of Babaada, situated right off
the coast, is the place where boats and yachts plying between
Marmaris and Göcek moor regularly.
The sheltered side of the island, which looks directly at Sarıgerme,
is used to moor the boats and yachts. The other face of the island
is rocky and most suitable for diving.
If you are confident it is possible to swim to the island and later
climb to the top and have a bird's eye view of the beautiful scenery
surrounding you.
Sarıgerme, with its close proximity to Dalaman International Airport
and with more and more modern accommodation facilities being built,
has found itself as a centre of tourism in a region fast becoming
internationally popular. The interaction of pine trees and the coast
of Sarıgerme, with its fine sand against the backdrop of beautiful
pine trees, has continued for centuries. It is the site of the
ancient city of Physilis. This city is now buried under the shifting
sand. As a result of tourism development carried out before
excavations and the construction of hotels in the region the history
of Physilis is to remain under the sands of Sarıgerme. Sarıgerme is
the name given to the coast near the village of Osmaniye, 850 metres
inland from the shore. The name Sarıgerme is linked to the Sarıçay
Stream that divides Osmaniye and the coast. The Sarıçay was once
used as the transportation route for timber that was brought from
the forest to the sea. To prevent the timber from escaping into the
sea the stream's outlet into the ocean was closed during times of
timber transportation. Thus the name ` which means tightening
or fencing.

Artist George Rodrigue was famous for his Cajun-inspired paintings long before he became mainstream; boaters in the bayou or patriotically posing before an oak tree.
"He chose to paint Louisiana, because that's where he was from and that's what he cared about. He saw kind of a void there in the art world of a story that he wanted to tell," says his son, Jacques Rodrigue.
"This is really where he's introducing the world to Acadian culture and the culture of Cajuns," says Jelena Smith, a fine arts specialist for New Orleans Auction Galleries.
Following notoriety in 1990, his Louisiana story revolved around the legend of Loup-Garou, a werewolf meant to scare disobedient Cajun children. It was an image based on his childhood dog Tiffany; he called it the Blue Dog.
New Orleans Auction Gallaries estimates the cost of some of the iconic Blue Dog paintings they have between $20,000 to $40,000. Some of their Cajun series paintings they are estimating between $30,000 to $50,000. Whether or not the price of the paintings goes up after his death remains to be seen.
James says it will be up to collectors.
"I think our upcoming sale in May will probably answer some of those questions," says James.
Meanwhile, Jacques says originals aren't for sale and he continues to monitor auctions around the world. He estimates only 10 to 15 pieces have been sold since his father's death in December.
"We don't know how to price it and we just don't have that much, so currently available is only silk screening prints and mixed medias," says Jacques.
However, he says, those few sales have shown gains.
"The auction price is about double from what the auctions were compared to last year," says Jacques.
Signed copies or prints are no exception.
"The most expensive print we had before was about $7,000 or $8,000 and now we're in the $15,000 to $20,000 range," says Jacques.
Jacques says it will probably be another year before they consider selling any originals.

Ask Health Experts and Get Answers to Your Health Question ASAP
My 3 year old has ear ache. Its 2 am and I don't want to bring her to the doctor. All I have is calpol, solphadeine and cough and cold medicine. Any advice?
Hi there.The majority of ear infections are not bacterial in nature. In fact most are viral or allergic. Antibiotics in these cases are not necessary. According to the Centers for Disease Control, antibiotics should not be used as a first line defense for ear infections. http://www.cdc.gov/drugresistance/community/files/ads/adult-guidelines-4.pdfhttp://pediatrics.aappublications.org/cgi/content/full/113/5/1412That said, there are a few other options.
1) Ear drops containing garlic and mullein. Garlic is antimicrobial and mullein can be quite soothing to the ear. These can be found over the counter from companies such as Herb Pharm.
2) Motrin (ibuprofen) for pain relief.
3) Warm compresses applied near the ear can also sooth pain and discomfort associated with ear infections.
4) Diet and Lifestyle modifications including: -IgG food testing to determine possible food allergens. I have found much success in my practice after running a specific type of food allergy testing. Often people are experiencing food sensitivities and do not realize it. Even if you have made dietary changes you may still be eating foods that cause you a problem. You can find more information about this type of testing here: http://www.betterhealthusa.com/
I highly encourage you to visit this website and talk about this testing with your doctor.-Avoid more hyper-allergenic foods such as, citrus fruits, wheat, sugar, and eggs- Eliminate irritants such as cigarette smoke, exhaust, perfumes, and other air born pollutants- Avoid mucous forming foods such as dairy products, chocolate, nuts, citrus fruits, and bananas- Steam inhalation can be done at home using aromatic herbs such as thyme, rosemary, oregano, basil, etc. One easy way of doing this is to steam up the bathroom and sit and play in the bathroom. In addition:1) Remove dairy products from your diet. Products made from cow's milk (milk, cheese, yogurt, ice cream, etc) are mucus forming foods and are also considered highly allergenic foods. It may be worth a trial of eliminating these foods and watch for improvement. 2) Decrease sugar in your diet. Sugar is also mucus forming and also lowers immune function.3) Dry pillows and bedding on high heat for 20 minutes 1 time per week (or more frequently if you like). This kills dust mites which are a common allergen and also cleans the pillow pretty well (do not throw temperature sensitive pillows into the dryer such as Tempurpedic pillows).The danger with ear infections is that the ear drum may burst leaving the individual susceptible to infection. This is rare but can happen. If you notice any clear fluid or blood coming out of the ear, it means the ear drum has rupture. This should be evaluated by a physician.If you develop fever, increase in pain, headache, or discharge from the ear, see a doctor immediately. I hope you find this helpful.

The midfielder is under contract at the Nou Camp until 2010 but a temporary deal could be a possibility for the Scottish champions.
Gordon Strachan's men face competition from fellow La Liga outfit Sevilla for his services.
But Crosas - who featured in Barca's friendly wins over both Hibernian and Dundee United - would relish a switch to Scotland.
'I would love to join Celtic,' he told the Daily Record.
'I enjoyed my time last season at Lyon a lot and it is now up to Barcelona to agree a deal with Celtic or Sevilla.
'Both have made proposals which appear acceptable to Barca.
'An agreement now has to be struck with one of them so that I know where I will be playing next season.'
Meanwhile, Le Mans defender Marko Basa has reportedly rejected a move to Celtic, while Bobo Balde is believed to have travelled south to hold contract talks with Sunderland.

HELP!!!! DIY quick and easy accessories event
I'm hoping to get a bit of help from the lovely Burda Community.
I have been roped in to a local event (Southampton UK) on the 14th March. It is a vintage clothing/music event at a local bar.
I have been asked to run a stall where people can pay about £3 and then run riot with fabric scraps to create some of their own cool DIY accessories. I have been asked to come up with some ideas for what they can make. I have had a look through the accessories Projects here on Burdastyle but THE TOUGH PART is that they have to be quick and easy AND made with no machine sewing (as there will not be access for a sewing machine at the bar).
We may have a glue gun or two and will be able to provide chains, links, badge backs, earring hooks and that kind of thing but I really need help with ideas for non-sewn (or very minimal hand sewing) accessories. Any help will be really appreciated.

how about making a greeting card or gift tag from scraps? Find a quick drying glue..or use a glue stick..to attach scraps to a paper background..the individual can "design" their own picture. Use even scraps of ribbon, buttons, sequins, etc. Just precut paper to size and have plenty of glue with perhaps a ziplock or plastic bag to carry their project away (in case the glue hasn't completely dried.) you could even have an old catalog or old magazines in case the people want to tear out a picture to add to their montage.

Luggage tags, book cover, simple picture to take-away, ribbons and sequins/ beads attached to earrings, safety pin badges — cut simple shapes e.g. rabbit, sheep, cat, decorate with eyes etc. Glue to cardboard. Cut round and attach safety pin with sellotape.

Hair pins with fabric flowers, fabric beads, hand sewn stuffed animals, ect

You could make a quick fabric headband with some fabric flowers on top (or whatever you wish.)
Feb 27, 2010, 10.38 AMby helenp
maybe you could pre-make simple tote & charge extra $ or 2 for them. people can decorate with fabric. quick stitches. gather a circle to make a quick flower. cut strips with pinking scissors to gather and sew on. can you have an iron? what about using fusible web to attach stuff applique style?

A most pragmatic politician-statesman is Argentine President Arturo Frondizi, a man whose goals, once set, stay set. Characteristically, the goals Frondizi set for his journey to the U.S. and the U.N. last week were rigidbut realistic.

At the U.N. he resolved to cement his role as the independent-minded spokesman for Latin America now that Brazil's Jánio Quadros has come a cropper. Frondizi could count the trip a success on both...

FBI Director Mueller Endures Interrogation by House and Senate
In the past two days, we have seen FBI Director Robert Mueller go before both the House and Senate Judiciary Committees for oversight hearings, the congressional equivalent of a checkup. But the recently proposed changes to the FBI's investigative guidelines made these appearances anything but routine. ACLU Policy Counsel Mike German attended both hearings, and has lent insight into some of the more outlandish highlights they produced:
Director Mueller made some odd comments during his testimony to justify the need for the newly proposed guidelines. He kept playing on the theme that there are things FBI agents can do in criminal investigations that they cannot do in national security investigations, and that it was only reasonable to create a single set of guidelines.
He said:
To give you a few examples, in the guidelines governing national security investigations prohibited recruiting or tasking sources unless the FBI had at least a preliminary investigation open. They also prohibited physical surveillance other than casual observation, while the general crimes guidelines, which governed other criminal investigations, did not contain these limitations. So, ironically, in my cases an agent could readily use physical surveillance to watch a suspected smuggling route for drugs or counterfeit blue jeans but not for a terrorist bomb.
This is of course, absurd. Smuggling bombs is a crime so the example just doesn't make sense. What the FBI is really demanding in the new guidelines is the authority to conduct "assessments" against Americans using intrusive investigative techniques, even when the FBI has no factual support to suggest they are smuggling blue jeans, bombs or doing anything else that is illegal or dangerous to national security.
What it brings out, however, is that the FBI is interpreting its authority under the Ashcroft guidelines on general crimes to "check leads" as authorization for the activity they are now calling "assessments." The language in the Ashcroft guidelines regarding the checking of leads authorizes the FBI to conduct "prompt and extremely limited checking out of initial leads" to determine whether enough information exists to open an investigation. It goes on to say: "This limited activity should be conducted with an eye toward promptly determining whether further investigation (either a preliminary inquiry or full investigation) should be considered." The idea that "prompt and extremely limited checking out of initial leads" would authorize 24/7 physical surveillance, the recruiting and tasking informants and conducting "pretext" — that means undercover — interviews for an unlimited amount of time is just plain shocking. There's no point in having guidelines if the FBI will interpret plain language to mean something other than its commonly defined terms.
And let's not forget that being subject to an FBI terrorism investigation can wreak havoc on a person's life even if charges are never brought. Just ask Steven Hatfill or Brandon Mayfield.
Mueller went on to say:
But [FBI agents] need consistent, clear guidelines that do not vary based on whether they are facing a threat from MS-13 or Hezbollah."
This is equally as absurd. Hezbollah's many crimes and acts of terrorism against Americans are well documented over many decades and the current guidelines authorize terrorism enterprise investigations. The FBI undoubtedly has full investigations regarding Hezbollah open under both sets of guidelines. What the FBI is demanding in these new guidelines is the authority to investigate individuals or groups when the FBI does not have a factual basis for suspecting them of having done anything harmful to anyone. That's very different.
More Mueller:
Another example would be we know, quite obviously, that in — that in western Pakistan now — that there are camps in which individuals are being trained. The U.K. knows that very well because individuals who were involved in the 2005 attacks and later attacks had traveled to Pakistan for training in the camps and then come back. I believe the American public, this committee would want us to understand that potential threat and do what is necessary to try to identify persons who had traveled to Pakistan — whatever their heritage, whatever their background, whatever their ethnicity — to determine who is going to — to Pakistan to obtain that training and may be coming back to the United States to undertake an attack. Under the previous guidelines, undertaking that type of investigation would be problematic because we had not focused on one particular crime and one individual."
So under his example, because someone who traveled Pakistan and did something bad anywhere in the world, the FBI should be able to investigate everyone who has ever been to Pakistan? That doesn't make any sense from a resources or a civil liberties standpoint. The idea that such an approach would produce valuable information, as opposed to creating reams of false leads that divert FBI resources, reflects a fundamental misunderstanding of how effective investigations work. So if an Irishman robs a bank in London, the FBI will investigate anyone who's been to Ireland? This is simply a justification for a Total Information Awareness-style data grab. Terrorists and criminals have come from all over the world, including right here in the USA.
Moreover, the terrorist bombings in London were crimes and the FBI undoubtedly can open investigations related to those criminal activities. Likewise, just as with Hezbollah, the FBI has ample authority under both sets of guidelines to thoroughly investigate al Qaeda and all its offshoots.
Finally, Mueller used the pre-9/11 "Phoenix memo" about terrorism subjects enrolling in flight schools as justification for more authority:
One is the Phoenix memorandum. Most people are familiar with the fact that a — a very good agent in Phoenix prior to September 11 noted that individuals from the Middle East who were associated with more radical elements in the Phoenix area were taking flight lessons. He drafted a memorandum, it was sent back to headquarters, and no action was taken on it by the time of the attacks. It is that kind of — of threat and identification of a very suspicious circumstance that would warrant further investigation. And under the — the preceding guideline, it would be problematic in order to undertake the activities we wanted to follow up on."
The Phoenix memo is an odd thing for Mueller to have brought up in this context. The problem with the Phoenix memo was that the supervisors at FBI headquarters that the memo was addressed to didn't read the July 10, 2001 memo before the September 11 attacks, not that there was any lack of authority to collect the information or act on the agent's recommendations. The fact that the Phoenix memo was written and sent to headquarters demonstrates that FBI agents did have the authority to collect intelligence about this type of activity - the agent was reporting that he noticed that several subjects of FBI terrorism investigations were taking flight lessons, so the FBI was already investigating these people. The problem was a lack of competence at FBI headquarters, not a lack of authority. Director Mueller seemed to be hoping that none of the committee members would call him on this, and none did.
We can hope that the members' failure to call Mueller's bluff does not mean that they have fallen for his multiple red herrings.
I would like to draw your attention to some extreme and horrendous criminality being conducted with the involvement of United States Government-related Agencies and the complicity, if not participation, of many other governments and security agencies.
I am a victim of torture and abuse using DIRECTED ENERGY and NEUROLOGICAL WEAPONS technology.
The criminal use of these on me are causing the following effects -
1. Sleep deprivation
2. Reading thoughts remotely
3. Causing pain in any nerve of the body
4. Computer- brain interference, control and communication.
There is massive ignorance and secrecy regarding this, and victims such as I are being subjected to uncontrolled and unacknowledged torture and mental and physical destruction. This has remained completely unreported and undiscussed publicly. There are many others, all over the world, who are being subjected to similar torture and abuse.Your attention is urgently needed to halt these atrocities, protect me, and bring these extremist elements to justice.
