In any given year, one does not ‘quietly’ ascend to #5 in our AZBilliards’ Money Leaderboard, yet the Philippines’ Carlo Biado, in the midst of his best recorded earnings year (and it’s only August) appears to have done just that. Over half of his recorded earnings this year came as the result of winning last February’s Predator WPA World 10-Ball Championships in Las Vegas, at which he left Fedor Gorst in the semifinal ‘dust’ and defeated Japan’s Naoyuki Oi in the finals.

Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.

Most people are guilty of doing it at least once in their lives, many people do it by accident, some do it because they find it fun, and others do it for reasons like honoring loved ones. Regardless of the situation, just about everyone has released a balloon. The difference is that intentionally releasing balloons is now illegal by House Bill 321’s standards.

Back in May, Gus Briseno was once again on top of the Cuetec DFW 9-Ball Tour’s standings, though not by much. He’d yet to win a stop on the tour, while finishes in all four of his previous appearances had kept him just five points ahead of Shane McMinn, who’d won both of the events he’d entered; the season opener in January and Stop #3 in March. Into that spring scenario stepped one Gavin Mathew, whose only tour ‘claim to fame’ was finishing way out of the money in both of his previous appearances (in the two stops won by McMinn). Briseno and Mathew played three times that spring weekend, battling to double hill twice. Mathew won the first one, double hill, in a winners’ side quarterfinal, went on to defeat the tour’s #2 at the time, Mark Johnson and then, grabbed the hot seat over Friday Abismo.

When I studied Anthropology in college, I learned that teeth have been indicators of economic status just about forever. Archaeologists look at the teeth in ancient skeletons and know who the rich were based on their tooth decay. During the Renaissance period, it became fashionable for women to blacken their teeth to look like they were better off than they were, because the royals and aristocrats, who could afford sugar and sweets, had more rotten and missing teeth than the poor.

More dangerous substances are entering the Denver drug supply, Harm Reduction Action Center warned in a newsletter this week. “The Iron Law of Prohibition posits that as law enforcement becomes more intense, the potency of prohibited substances increases,” HRAC Executive Director Lisa Raville wrote in the newsletter. That is exactly what is happening, she said.
