After walking out of the arbitration hearing for his appeal of the 211-game suspension handed down in August by Major League Baseball, and cursing at the league’s chief operating officer on his way out the door, Rodriguez and one of his lawyers went on the radio and told WFAN’s Mike Francesa that the arbitration has been “a disgusting process for everyone.” The New York Yankees third baseman explained that he’d lost his temper after the arbitrator, Fredric Horowitz, decided that MLB Commissioner Bud Selig didn’t have to testify. Briefcases were kicked, and tables were banged.

Position refers to the order in which players are seated around the table and the strategic consequences of this. Generally, players in earlier position (who have to act first) need stronger hands to bet/raise or call than players in later position. For example, if there are five opponents yet to act behind a player, there is a greater chance one of the yet to act opponents will have a better hand than if there were only one opponent yet to act. Being in late position is an advantage because a player gets to see how their opponents in earlier position act (which provides the player more information about their hands than they have about his). This information, coupled with a low bet to a late player, may allow the player to "limp in" with a weaker hand when they would have folded the same hand if they'd had to act earlier. Position is one of the most vital elements to understand in order to be a long-term winning player. As a player's position improves, so too does the range of cards with which they can profitably enter a hand. Conversely this commonly held knowledge can be used to an intelligent poker player's advantage. If playing against observant opponents, then a raise with any two cards can 'steal the blinds,' if executed against passive players at the right time.

I testity that today is Friday:
Friday is the day between Thursday and Saturday. In countries adopting Monday-first conventions as recommended by the international standard ISO 8601, it is the fifth day of the week. It is the sixth day in countries that adopt a Sunday-first convention, as in the Abrahamic tradition. In other countries (see workweek and weekend), Friday is the first day of the weekend, with Saturday the second.

A top White House technology adviser will testify at a congressional hearing on Wednesday about the troubled launch of the website at the heart of President Barack Obama's signature healthcare reform despite the administration's assertions that he was too busy. The White House confirmed late on Tuesday that Todd Park, its chief technology officer, would comply with a subpoena to testify at a hearing of the Republican-controlled House of Representatives Oversight Committee. The White House had asked to delay the hearing until December, saying that Park was too busy helping to fix the HealthCare.gov website, which Obama has vowed will be working smoothly for most people by the end of the month. Technical problems with the website since its Oct. 1 rollout have prevented many Americans from enrolling in the health exchanges set up under the 2010 healthcare law, also known as Obamacare. "The partisan subpoena issued by House Republicans on Friday was an unfortunate and unnecessary step since we made clear several times that Todd Park is willing to testify," said Rick Weiss, a spokesman for the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy.

I TESTIFY that today is Saturday, and far from being 50% of a restful weekend from the rigours of work, I have to work today as well, so no chance of playing poker today until this evening, but then when tomorrow comes I will play lots of lovely poker!

iTestify this site has died on me once again :/ coudlnt access it for like 8,28 mins
now back to more important things, its that time again.. for your daily turtlepedia piece of info.
The leatherback sea turtle (Dermochelys coriacea), sometimes called the lute turtle, is the largest of all living turtles (as well as the largest extant sea turtle) and is the fourth largest modern reptile behind three crocodilians.
It is the only living species in the genus Dermochelys. It can easily be differentiated from other modern sea turtles by its lack of a bony shell. Instead, its carapace is covered by skin and oily flesh. Dermochelys coriacea is the only extant member of the family Dermochelyidae.

Unlike calling, raising has an extra way to win: opponents may fold. An opening bet may be considered a raise from a strategy perspective. David Sklansky gives seven reasons for raising, summarized below.[1] To get more money in the pot when a player has the best hand: If a player has the best hand, raising for value enables them to win a bigger pot. To drive out opponents when a player has the best hand: If a player has a made hand, raising may protect their hand by driving out opponents with drawing hands who may otherwise improve to a better hand. To bluff A player raises with an inferior or "trash" hand attempts to deceive other players about the strength of their hand, and hopefully induce a better hand to fold. To semi-bluff A player with a drawing hand may raise both to bluff and for value. While technically still a bluff, as the player may not end up with a made hand and is primarily trying to drive out players, the player still has the opportunity to make their hand and win the pot if the bluff is called.

Testify is the seventh studio album and final album to feature original material by English singer Phil Collins, before retiring. The album debuted at No. 30 on the American Billboard 200 albums chart, which was also the album's peak position. It was also the second Collins studio album where no track peaked within the American top 40 singles chart. It was also his lowest charting album in the UK, becoming his only solo effort not to reach the Top 5. However, the album achieved success in some countries of Continental Europe. Meat Loaf's album Couldn't Have Said It Better was originally to be titled "Testify", but was retitled in anticipation of Phil's release. Despite the shortage of success the album achieved, his subsequent First Final Farewell Tour proved to be very popular.

To get a free card: If a player raises with a drawing hand, their opponent may call the bet and check to them on the next betting round, giving them a chance to get a free card to improve their hand. To gain information: If a player raises with an uncertain hand, they gain information about the strength of their opponent's hand if they are called. Players may use an opening bet on a later betting round (probe or continuation bets) to gain information by being called or raised (or may win the pot immediately).

Two tortoises share the title of largest ever tortoise: Meiolania at 8 ft.[citation needed]long and well over a ton, and Colossochelys atlas at 8 to 9 ft.[citation needed] and weighing over half a ton. The largest seems to be the freshwater turtle Stupendemys, with an estimated total carapace length of more than 3.3 m (11 ft) and weight of up to 1,814–2,268 kg (4,000–5,000 lb).[51] Carbonemys cofrinii has a shell that measures about 1.72 m (5.7 ft) and was estimated to weigh 916 kg (2016 lb)

here are several reasons for calling a bet or raise, summarized below. To see more cards: With a drawing hand, a player may be receiving the correct pot odds with the call to see more cards. To limit loss in equity: Calling may be appropriate when a player has adequate pot odds to call but will lose equity on additional money contributed to the pot with a raise. To avoid a re-raise: Only calling (and not raising) denies the original bettor the option of re-raising. However, this is only completely safe in case the player is last to act (i.e. "closing the action" . To conceal the strength of a player's hand: If a player has a very strong hand, they might smooth call on an early betting round to avoid giving away the strength of their hand on the hope of getting more money into the pot in later betting rounds.
