A bookshop owner from Houston, Texas emerged as the only and winning bidder for the 3-inch (8 cm) strand of hair of Bolivian icon, Che Guevara, auctioned by the Heritage Auction Galleries in downtown Dallas for a staggering price of $119,500. The 61-year-old Bill Butler placed his order by telephone, claiming he wanted to display the hair of the Bolivian icon as a main attraction in his bookshop.

Billboards targeting saggy pants went up in Dallas Tuesday urging people to "Pull'em Up. " More than two dozen billboards have been planned by Dallas city hall against the fashion faux pas, according to MyFox Dallas.

One woman said she received odd, late-night phone calls and embarrassing e-mails after a former high school classmate, now in the adult pornography industry, nabbed her name. The Houston woman said she assumes her former classmate, Lara Madden, thought her name was catchy. She has used the stage name "Syvette Wimberly" in more than a dozen adult films. Now Wimberly is suing Madden, who was in her ninth-grade class, for invasion of privacy and emotional distress. She is suing both Madden and Vivid Entertainment, which produced Madden's videos, for monetary damages. She also filed an injunction against Madden to stop using her name. "I imagine she knew the name and maybe thought it sounded catchy and was unique," Wimberly said. Wimberly's attorney Caj D. Boatwright said, "Really on a weekly, if not daily basis, my client has had to deal with odd phone calls, former classmates that didn't know her that well sending her e-mails about whether she's now in the adult film industry and just a general lack of safety for her. " One legal analyst said Wimberly has a good case against Madden because the line is clear between the two women. "It's not like they pulled the name 'Jane Doe' or 'Barbara Smith' out of thin air," said KPRC legal analyst Brian Wice. "They pulled a name that's fairly peculiar to one woman in Harris County, Texas, and that's the kind of coincidence or lack of coincidence that's going to get somebody's attention in this building behind us. "

Continental Airlines Inc. is offering a group of passengers special travel vouchers. The coupons are not, however, part of any kind of promotional strategy - they're compensation for what passengers endured on a Continental trans-Atlantic flight last week. Things went wrong on Flight 71 right from the beginning when it took off June 13 from Amsterdam bound for Newark, N. J. The pilot decided to land the plane in Shannon, Ireland, after passengers complained of blockage in the lavatories.
