PHONE IT IN If you want to place a legitimate bet, the easiest way for a novice player to write a Belmont ticket is to start a New York Racing Authority (NYRA) account via telephone. Call 1-800-THE-NYRA; you no longer need to deposit a $100 minimum to bet the Stakes, since NYRA has changed the required balance to a buck. You can phone in bets a minute before post time, but leave at least a week to set up the account because you must mail a check to New York. NYRA accepts wagers from residents...

The necklace sends image files via infrared. (We tested it successfully with a Nokia 3660 phone and a PalmOne Zire 31, but most infrared-equipped phones and handhelds should work.)

The Kaleidoscope can hold up to 24 pictures at once, received via infrared. In addition, it accepts MultiMediaCards, so you could load up pics on a compatible PDA or camera, then view them on your necklace...
...Image Frame ($239) simplifies the process, with the same infrared connectivity found in the Imagewear line. The SU-7, due later this year, will be equipped with a cell phone. For $399--plus the cost of the service--you can set one up and send pictures to it via multimedia messaging. Of course, that's only if the frame isn't out of the service area...
Such measures continue to draw international fire. But militants in Rafah tell TIME that the Lebanese militia Hizballah has indeed used the tunnels to smuggle weaponry and explosives to Palestinian militants in Gaza. They say the materiel comes via African countries where Hizballah has a network among Lebanese emigres. Israeli intelligence officers confirm that Sudan is a major source, but say most of the guns and bombs still originate in Lebanon. They believe Palestinian groups are trying to acquire deadlier plastic explosives, and fear that the tunnels could also be used to import Katyusha missiles into Gaza. In the face...
