35W Bridge Collapse in minneapolis minnesota

35W Bridge Collapse in minneapolis minnesota during rush hour.
At about 6:15pm today. 50 cars dropped into the mississippi river. Cars are still dangling on the bridge.

The span that has split extends from East River Road NE minneapolis to the south side of the river where it connects with washington avenue in the downtown area. Situation described as grim: rescue crews on the scene; many casualties, 6 confirmed deaths so far. This bridge is about 10-15 stories (120ft) above ground and the river.

A school bus reportedly with about 30 children around the ages of 8-10 onboard was involved. This bus did not fall into the river. All children from this bus have been retrieved to safety.

This section of freeway has been under maintenance repairs lately. Built in 1967, the 35W Bridge spans 1987 feet 120 ft above the river, all of it, has now fallen. The unique design featured no pillars running down into the river . To save river traffic impedance the 1987 foot long bridge spanning 487 feet across the river connects to two long piers.

A federal study done in 2001 cites several stress indications...

Playing freeroll tournaments to familiarize and educate.

Playing online poker freeroll tournaments is both educational and will help you to familiarize yourself to a particular poker sites software and "feel of play experience". The education is in learning patience, persistance and perserverance. As well as pot odds, spotting player types, betting patterns and bluffing. Learning just these few tools will greatly propel your poker game skill level from novice to intermediate to contender status. Each poker site has it's own particular software -some sites are on shared networks with shared software. But, chances are that you will find a completely different playing experience with every poker room you try. I recommend playing at more than one site if you want to hone your game. Playing freerolls will help get a feel for that new poker site software.

Study pot odds and play by the mathmatical rules of pot odds, this takes some time to learn. But it is time well spent. It will take you from novice to intermediate status once this skill is mastered. Every poker site online has a tool for you to use to comment or categorize players. This tool is usually called players notes. This is where you should scribble any noticed play type characteristics. Such as loose play, tight play, trapper, blind stealer or bluffer. Bluffing is a skill that is really an art. The bluffer must carefully craft a plausible scenario that will induce at least one opponent with a better hand to fold. Sometimes the boldest of bluffers is seeking to scare the entire table off their hands. If you are seen as a regular bluffer your plan may not work so well.

Poker site software is carefully crafted toward the user experience. It is programmed to please the eyes and play smoothly for the user. It is always on a secure network so your money and identity is safe from the prying eyes of hackers. You can choose to play on downloaded software or web based java games. Either is fine. I prefer downloaded software as I run a windows computer. But if you use another operating system you may have to use java games. Especially if you run a linux based system. Mac systems are supported by all the large sites.

Nearly all online poker rooms offer freeroll tournaments to introduce you to their offerings. You should take advantage of these because they are letting you get a real money experience for no cost except maybe time. This time is essential to spend when learning how to play texas holdem. So why not play on their dime? You may even win some money. You may turn these winnings into more winnings. So, I say Play online poker freerolls. Learn the skills necessary to grow your game. And, hopefully I'll see you at the final table.

Feb 08, 2007 rjovi Neteller out, Nucharge.net (Bodog) and Add-Funds (Absolute) are now in.

US DOJ catches BetOnSports, Neteller: releases Party Poker.

02/03/07 by rjovi
US DOJ catches BetOnSports, Neteller: releases Party Poker. UIGEA causes "no-limit" jellyfish migration, shark bites and whale(ing).

Unlawful internet gaming enforcement act resulted in the arrest of Bet On Sports owners for illegally taking bets from US citizens. 100 days later, Neteller executives are arrested for money laundering; quickly shuts it's doors to US players. How will these actions affect online gaming, it's players and funding options?

Funding options became noticeably scarcer this week as several internet payment processors pulled out of the US fearing action from the US department of justice. Although, these few have remained: Epassporte, Instacash, ewalleteXpress, ATM online, Ecocard and Nucharge. Trying to enroll at these sites can be slow due to an unusual volume of traffic. New payments processors are preparing to enter the US market such as YouTeller (expecting a march '07 launch).

More gaming sites pulled out of the US since the recent Neteller bust. All-In Poker and Mansion have migrated to friendlier waters. Microgaming is an online gaming giant rumored to be leaving soon, possibly.

Affiliates those who promote these gaming sites are worried about being paid their commissions. This has not been a problem yet.

US Players whom have been using Neteller, FirePay, Citadel, Central Coin, Moneybookers, Payspark, Instadebit, and Click2Pay are seeing delays in gaming funds cash-outs. However, all gaming sites report funding to be safe and secure in offshore accounts. These sites may need to issue checks themselves to their players even if this wasn't an option in the past.

You will find more information here as it becomes available...stay tuned.

Here is a listing of financial processors still available to USA players for the major poker rooms.
