Defend The American Tradition
Poker Players Alliance: Defend the American Tradition
Unlike games of chance where a roll of the die is all that determines the win or the loss, poker is a game of skill.
Demanding high levels of strategy, observation, cunning, and memory, poker has challenged and sharpened some of America's greatest tactical minds such as Ulysses S. Grant and Dwight Eisenhower.
Today, more than 70 million poker players are reviving American's tradition.
The recent expansion of the World Series of Poker (WSOP) best illustrates the exponential growth of the game in the past five years - the number of entrants in the WSOP has increased from 4,700 to 23,000.
Unfortunately, even as public support for poker grows, some over-zealous government and law enforcement officials have begun attacking the game and trampling on the rights of those who play.
The American tradition of poker must be defended. Poker players should have the freedom to continue to enjoy this favorite pastime as they always have.

So Confused Maybe u can help !
Hi , I have 2 boys one almost 16 one almost 18 and they both wanna go in the service , and they came to me and said Mom would it be ok to join the military , I wanted to change the subject so bad but they kept asking me this same question and asking me if they would be put on the front line and if they would come home alive. And I was like froze I didn't know what to tell them other then if its your decision to join its fine that its a a great thing to foght for your country (USA) and about going to the front line I told them that I guess they would have to talk to a recruiter about the job they wanted to do in the military . I guess that would tell it all . And that if they did join and went to the front line to be brave that everyone at home would be proud of anything they did. Did i say the right things to them? This scares me beyond words . I love my country but im not sure im ready to let my boys go. Earl I can't even imagine what you and glenda are going through My prayers are with u and your Son..

Symantec Finds Yet Another Excel Trojan Variant
Symantec Finds Yet Another Excel Trojan Variant
By Scott M. Fulton, III, BetaNews
February 8, 2007, 2:08 PM
It may be a single malicious user with an axe to grind, and that user may be targeting a very small group of people who just happen to use Microsoft Excel. But whoever it is continues to make security firms like Symantec nervous, as yet another Excel-based document with a malformed image string, dubbed Trojan.Mdropper. Y, has turned up.
As a message on Symantec's security blog stated this morning, the Excel document with the malformed string is capable of dropping two Trojan horse programs onto the victim's computer, both of which are identified as Backdoor.Bias. Both programs apparently leave open the possibility for remote exploit, but neither Symantec nor Microsoft has provided any details with regard to whether their informant victim's computers have been "phoning home."
This time around, Symantec was much more careful with the phrasing of the new Trojan's description on its blog, cautiously explaining that Trojan.Mdropper.Y was a different document that leveraged the same exploit as with editions prior to "Y," perhaps a little differently than before but not different enough to call this a new vulnerability.
Nonetheless, that didn't stop some press sources from calling this the fourth, fifth, or sixth new "Excel flaw" discovered since the beginning of the year, even though the concept string malformation exploit dates back to before the turn of the decade.
Excel 2007 appears to continue to be immune to this exploit, though older versions remain vulnerable. However, all legitimate security sources checked by BetaNews continue to report that these particular attacks are targeted rather than automated and widespread.

Funds Seized by FBI
Funds Seized by FBI
Neteller has had $55 Million in Funds seized by the FBI. These funds are payment processes in transit to and from the US. Authorities are saying the funds are "frozen".
"As a result of the restrictions placed by third parties, court-ordered seizures, and related legal concerns, the group is currently unable to make payments to U.S. customers," Neteller said in a statement.
"The amount of funds seized by the USAO or otherwise restricted by third parties does not exceed US$55 million (euro42 million)," it added. The FBI has also hired a forensic accounting firm to compile a list of US customers who have had Neteller Transactions. Neteller has apparently said it will co-operate.
Most internet poker players already know the 2 founders were arrested in the US and are each facing 20 year racketeering charges, and US Operations were suspended last month. Neteller lost upwards of 65% of its business due to New Anti Gambling Legislation which was "porked" into law in October of the coattails of the port security bill. George W. Bush signed the bill on October 14th making it US law. Neteller is based in the Isle of Man, traded on the Britain Exchange, and was the favorite payment processor for Internet Poker.
It should be noted that Internet Texas Holdem (ITH) - , the leading Texas Holdem Resource & Community, currently accepts Neteller as a payment method in their Internet Poker Store.

Supporting the troops
As most you all know by now the son is over in Afghanistan fighting the Taliban with the 82nd . He's been able to send us here a few emails , and just yesterday was able to make a phone call . He says that things have really gotten heated up now . The Taliban and militants have taken control of a city over their , and the 82nd along with fellow NATO forces are fixing to take the city back . Just the other day they caught a truck load of explosives near Kandahar......
Any how , with the media dwelling so much on Iraq , the soldiers over at Afghanistan seem to have been forgotten . Here at the Moore house we are sending off a care package this week . The wife is a dairy manager at the local Food Lion and has gotten them to start doing the same thing . Lets all see what we can do to support those soldiers and let them know that the rest of the world has them in their thoughts by sending items that they may need to help cheer them up .

Ok , it doesn't matter who you send it to,the troops or to him to hand out to his fellow comrades .( tho I do like the idea of maybe sorta adopting his troop...) As far as what to send , he and I had the chance to actually talk yesterday before they were to go over to another city and try to push Taliban and militants out of there. He mentioned that they are thankful for anything .
Let me just say these guys are on their feet a lot . So foot powders (athletes feet) , deodorants , toothpaste , toothbrushes , soap . DO NOT send mouthwashes...no liquids are allowed .
Envelopes ,notepads , pencils and pens....
Now for stuff that they can snack on ...caned nuts , dried fruits , jerky , chips like pringles in a tube . Dried goods of any sort are very nice to receive , they can take that into the field with them , and its light in weight . Store bought cookies and snacks work out well , homemade products will generally go bad before they get it .
And last but not least , letters...I myself know how much a letter from anyone can mean . A soldier just wants to hear that he's not been forgotten from the rest of the world . They want to know that folks think about them.....so a card or letter is always nice to receive...and believe me , it'll get read out to all within earshot more times than you could imagine.
thx , Earl aka:skinski
