...postproduction. "You don't see everything they play," says McEachern. "You see a representative number of hands, exciting hands, to be TV friendly." In between the action, there are refreshingly cheese-free player profiles introducing the likes of Annie Duke, the top poker-playing woman, who came in 10th in 2000 while eight months' pregnant; Dutch Boyd, a math genius who went to college at age 12; and Chris (Jesus) Ferguson, a graduate student at UCLA who can slice a banana with a thrown playing card from 50 ft. away...
...confidently with others. "They feel safe trying out strategies in the groups, where they are totally accepted," says FriendSmarts' Strock. "It then makes it easier to test the skills outside." The most useful advice often comes not from an authoritative therapist but from the other kids. For John, a 10th-grader from San Jose, Calif., who was incessantly bullied in middle school, sharing stories and strategies with groupmates at FriendSmarts changed his perspective about how to behave in school. He says he used to try to start conversations by telling someone too much about himself too quickly. "That never worked...
...book is a dog in more than name. Tibor Fischer, whose novel Voyage to the End of the Room is to be released the same day, prematurely savaged Yellow Dog in a widely quoted newspaper article last month.

After Friends finishes its 10th and final season next year, NBC will launch a sitcom starring Joey Tribbiani, the lazy, lovable lunk played by MATT LEBLANC. (What, Gunther wasn't available?) The new show will premiere in the fall of 2004 in that same old comfy Friends time slot, Thursdays at 8 p.m. E.T. Joey won't be going on his own: the three executive producers who created Friends will be there...
Poor Tokyo can't get a break. In a recent survey, it kicked Hong Kong out of the top spot on Mercer Human Resource Consulting's list of the most expensive cities. (New York City slid into a thrifty 10th place, thanks to the weak dollar.) Tokyo also ranked as least popular in a new survey by consultancy Christian & Timbers, which asked about executives' attitudes toward six financial centers. (Hong Kong and Beijing were given a pass because of SARS.) Here are the top six from each list...
