Tennis on a Helipad


In preparation for the Dubai Duty Free Men’s Open,Andre Agassi and Roger Federer, couldn’t resist the temptation to have a friendly knock about on the world’s highest tennis court, the helipad of Burj Al Arab, the world’s most luxurious hotel.

Get in on America's First Ever Nationwide Treasure Hunt
To find one of these fabulous jewels, decipher the clues in A Treasure's Trove and go to an exact location to find a gold token. The gold token will give you the information you need to get your jewel. Twelve gold tokens, each one redeemable for one of the 12 jewels, are hidden in 12 separate locations across the continental USA. The tokens are located so that at least one is within a days's drive of anyone in the continental USA.

The tokens are not hidden on private property, or in dangerous places, but in places accessible to everyone. The tokens are not buried. Nothing has to be moved or lifted to find them.
This is not game of chance, nor a lottery, nor a sweepstakes. All you need is skill, imagination, and determination. It's the adventure of a lifetime!

Q: Has anyone redeemed a gold token yet?
A: As of Friday, February 25, 2005 none have been redeemed. Happy Hunting!

Strip Club in Idaho Skirts Around Anti-Nudity Law
On what it calls Art Club Nights, the Erotic City strip club charges customers $15 for a sketch pad, pencil, and a chance to see completely naked women dancers.

In 2001 the Boise City Council passed an ordinance banning total nudity in public unless it had "serious artistic merit" -- an exemption meant to apply to plays, dance performances and art classes.

In the two months since they began, Art Club Nights have drawn full crowds of 60 people but no police citations. Link

In other news from Idaho, the winner of the Miss Idaho pageant:

"I would like to end world hunger and bring the world peas."
