The big thing last year was how he would react to blowing a save. He blew one against Toronto, came back the next night, and bam! — he shut them down. Barring injury he's going to be a good one for a long time. He has an unbelievable work ethic. He's not just happy to be here. He's easy to handle. |
The biggest risk in 2006 is that the Fed will be seduced by worries about inflation into raising rates too high. A lot depends on what the 10-year does and while I would hope that they would take notice that it's going down in yield, the question is whether they will take it seriously or dismiss it. |

The challenge we successfully met was to prove to the jury that although there was no direct link between Andrew Rowe and a particular terrorist act, possession of those items together with other supporting evidence was sufficient for a jury to conclude that he had them for the purpose of terrorism, |
